Formed in 1985, by singer/bassist Mem V. Stein and guitarist Ray Mensh, Exumer released two albums in 1986 (Possessed by Fire
), and 1987 (Rising from the Sea
), that are regarded as some of the most cult thrash metal releases ever to come out of Germany. Exumer was also one of the first thrash metal acts to capture exotic, foreign markets like Poland and Brazil, where their albums were domestically released in the 1980s. The subsequent tours that followed those releases secured the band live shows in front ofthousands of fans and an unusually large following outside of Germany. Plagued by line-up changes and internal turmoil the band broke up in 1990, and did not perform live, with the exception in 2001 at the prestigious Wacken Open Air Festival, until 2009.
Mem and Ray decided to re-activate Exumer in 2008, and the band embarked on their first tour since 1988, where they played five shows in April/May of 2009. The "5 Nights of Fire Tour", took the band through Europe (Germany, Holland, Greece), and the USA, where they headlined the "Thrasho de Mayo Festival", in front of 1300 fans in Los Angeles.
In 2011, EXUMER completed writing and arranging material for their first new album release in 24 years. The band chose Waldemar Sorychta (Grip Inc., Therion, Sodom, Moonspell), to produce their 10-track strong, hard hitting CD. Combining punishing production with aggressive song writing, Exumer manage to capture the intensity and feel of the 1980s thrash metal gems while attaining modern sonic density.


Corruption in Washington DC
Obey, Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign or domestic.
The Mueller and FBI investigations into collusion and corruption by the Trump campaign.
What part of this is difficult for people to understand?
The Obama administration was corrupt to the point of committing High Treason against the United States of America. Hillary Clinton and the US State Department were complicit and deeply involved in that corruption.
The Obama administration was and still is attempting to overthrow the United States of America.
In an effort to conceal their corruption and deceit Obama and Hillary Clinton enlisted the services and cooperation of several members of our Government, including the CIA, the FBI, and the DOJ.
Together they devised a scheme whereby they would embed a known Russian and FBI agent into the Trump campaign and then project their own crimes of collusion and corruption onto Donald Trump and the Trump campaign. They enlisted the services of others to create false documents which would implicate Donald Trump, they leaked these false documents to the US News Media, and then used those “news media” publications as justification to start an FBI investigation into Donald Trump and the Trump campaign. Carter Page was the FBI/Russian agent that was embedded into the Trump campaign. Ex-CIA administrator John Brennan was the one who leaked the false documents to the news media and also to James Comey also in the FBI. They also spread those false documents to members of Congress, Senator John McCain was enlisted to deliver the documents to James Comey at the FBI who in turn used those documents to obtain the FISA warrants so that they could “Spy” on the Trump campaign and Donald Trump himself.
FBI director (at the time) James Comey informed the Trump campaign that they had documents implicating Trump in a Russian conspiracy and collusion and several other implications, (also false). Donald Trump was elected as President in November 2016 and when he took office, following the advice of FBI Second in command Rod Rosenstein, he fired James Comey. Which in turn set up the Mueller investigations. Former FBI director Robert Mueller was appointed as special Counsel to investigate the Trump/Russian Collusion accusations. Mueller hired and appointed 19 dedicated and loyal Clinton and DNC attorneys to conduct the investigations. Together these 20 men spent two and a half years investigating Donald Trump and virtually everyone in around and surrounding his campaign. They spent $30 Million dollars, questioned 500 people, employed over 40 FBI agents. These people were determined to fulfill their mandate to implicate and indict Donald Trump on ANYTHING they could find. Remember that here in America we do not investigate people in order to find a crime. We investigate a crime in order to indict a potentially guilty individual or individuals. In the Mueller investigations there was no initial crimes indicated to be investigated, only the individual Donald J. Trump in an effort to discover a crime.
Unfortunately for them they failed to identify any “collusion” or any conspiracy to commit any obstruction of justice. But the Democrats in Congress are not satisfied with those results. There are so many members of Congress and others embedded into various Government agencies that were involved in the Obama /Clinton corruption that the Democrats (and including many Republican members), that they can not afford to allow the truth to be revealed. If the truth of their actions and attempts to overthrow the Government of the US is ever exposed it will be just as Hillary Clinton predicted, “If the American people ever discover what we've done – we will ALL hang”.
Since the Mueller investigations failed to provide sufficient evidence of collusion or obstruction the democrats (and many Republicans) are now attempting to continue these investigations into literally anything and Everything surrounding Donald Trump and his entire life as a private citizen and as a business man. Once again they are not investigating a specific crime, instead they are investigating a man in search of a crime. ANY crime, anything they can claim might be a crime. And any statute of limitations be damned, it doesn't matter if something that occurred 25 years ago can be made to appear to be a crime they will use it to indict and impeach Trump. Any statute of limitations that would normally apply will be discarded and ignored.
The primary goal here is not only to impeach Donald Trump but to deflect and conceal those crimes which the Obama administration and Clinton State Department have committed over the past ten years.
The attempts to over turn the 2016 election of Donald Trump and now the attempts to impeach President Trump are a Coup D'etat, not only against President Donald Trump but also against the United States of America. Which was the original intention of the Obama/Clinton administration in the first place. You should recall that in October of 2018 Candidate Barack Hussein Obama said “We are only five days away from fundamentally transforming America”. Those who have been following these events over the past ten years knew precisely what he was implying. The Obama administration spent these past ten years implementing those “Fundamental” Transformations. And THAT is what Hillary Clinton was referring to when she said “if the American people ever discover what we've done we will ALL hang”.
Well guess what Hillary, it is all now being exposed, the American people have discover what you and Barack Hussein Obama and all the others have been doing. The real truth is being exposed, and you are right, you will ALL hang for your acts of High Treason against the United States of America.

UK residents have been urged by experts to check their passports carefully before booking holidays abroad in a post-Brexit Britain.
Staff at ABTA - The Travel Association have helpfully compiled a list of pre-booking checks for those planning on jet setting abroad this year, warning that 'one of the most important things you need to check is if your passport will be valid for your travel dates'.
The organisation itself is looking out for tourists with hopes of heading to sunnier climates due to the post-Brexit travel market - which has subjected Britons to a series of new stringent rules and regulations with regards to passports.
The Mirror reports that in recent months, countless people have fallen foul of the changes to travel document legislation, leaving them stuck at airport, furious and massively out of pocket. Shirelle Quinn and her son Freddy, who were meant to fly from Alicante to Newcastle Airport Saturday morning, are two recent victims of the recent law and legislation amendment.
They were told by flight provider Tui that they would not be able to fly due to the mum's passport being issued more than ten years ago. Meanwhile, one family were left £2,000 worse off when one of their party, Meg, was unable to travel as her passport was not valid for a Portuguese holiday.
Meg, who believes that the passport rule changes haven't been made clear enough to Britons, said: "We were completely unaware of it. I asked how I got through check-in over two hours ago without it being noticed, plus I entered my passport details when I purchased the flights. They couldn’t answer."
To make sure you don't also get caught out, make sure you go through the following information before heading off on holiday.
Checking passport validity -
ABTA recommends you check your passport's validity by looking at both its issue and expiry date. Some countries require you to have a minimum amount of time left on your passport, which usually between three to six months but this can vary.
Travel to Europe post-Brexit -
ABTA has helped to clarify some of the new rules following the UK leaving the EU. They explain: "Your passport cannot be more than 10 years old when entering the country – so check when your passport was issued and when it is due to expire.
"Most places in Europe will require you to have a least three months left on your passport on the date of departure from your destination – check the Foreign Office advice for the passport rules for your destination. So, when checking if your passport will be valid for the dates of your trip, you need to check both the issue date and the expiry date in your passport."
They add: "If you renewed your current passport early, extra months may have been added to its expiry date and this could affect the requirement for your passport to be less than 10 years old."
Applying for or renewing your passport -
ABTA warns: "Her Majesty's Passport Office (HMPO) is currently advising that it may take up to 10 weeks for applications to be processed when applying from the UK, so make sure you apply in good time."

Epcot International Festival of the Arts runs approximately from mid-January through mid-February. It debuted in 2017, exclusive to the weekends and returned in 2018 running daily. Festival of the Arts celebrates all things art from visual, performance and food.
The Epcot map has been rethemed for the event and includes information on the Food & Beverage, Entertainment, Merchandise and Festival Exclusives.
One fun perk available at all of the festivals is the festival passport. This passport tells about the events of the festival, entertainment and food studios. There are lists for you to check off what you try at each of the 18 participating booths (some only have 1 thing for the festival while others are temporary stands for the festival).
Future World is decorated with multiple signs advertising the festival. They make for great photo opps and many have a PhotoPass photographer available.
The first year there was 8 food booths set up for the festival plus many of the existing snack stands and counter service restaurants are participating with special offerings. There are a lot of kid friendly options on the menus too!
Throughout the World Showcase are various booths dedicated to the arts.
The Festival Showplace is located inside the old Odyssey restaurant in Future World. It opens at 11 AM.
One way for kids to engage is with Disney Figment’s Brush with the Masters map. It is $6.99 + tax. Once completed, they can take the map to World of Travel for a surprise (likely a pin).
Here is a scan of the Times Guide that shows everything that is going on the first weekend of the event:

Robin van Rootselaar
In early 2022, it was announced that the construction of De Nieuwe Poort, at the proposed location south of the main railway station, will be a lot more expensive than first assumed. So far, the building is not there yet. The city council of Groningen must ultimately make the decision, but until then there is still room for alternative ideas. And there is.
Robin van Rootselaar is an architect, he works for VdP Architecten. In 2021 he graduated from the Academy of Architecture in Groningen. His exam theme? The renovation of De Oosterpoort. Van Rootselaar argues for dividing the music center into different buildings, spread across the city center.
To begin with, I go with this idea against the trend of placing theaters in large boxes on the outskirts of the city. And I give culture a place again in the heart of Groningen. But I also want to make the city’s users aware of the rich cultural history that is still visible everywhere. ‘
The young architect’s graduation research began, as he himself describes it, with a realistic study of the inner city. How do you make room for a cultural function there? Van Rootselaar investigated how this would work in urban planning, but also made an architectural plan for one of the sites he intended. He also designed a multifunctional hall in perhaps the most sacred building in Groningen: the Martinikerken.
A cultural route takes people through various places in the eastern part of inner city
The city center as a foyer
Van Rootselaar analyzed the requirements program for a new Oosterpoort. “Then I went looking in the city for places where a little is happening now and where buildings are soon empty or, in my opinion, not being used properly. What if you put a cultural program there? ‘
Van Rootselaar chose four places for his idea, all in the eastern part of the city center: the police station on Rademarkt, the location on Kattendiep, where Holland Casino until recently was located, Harmonie Square on Kreupelstraat and – as a bouncer – the Martiniker.
‘With a route between different buildings, I force people to go into the city, instead of staying for hours in an all-inclusive cultural building’
Both the locations themselves and the spaces in between are interesting, says Van Rootselaar. In his plan, he made a series of cultural routes, in which he included medieval alleys and courtyards. Visitors can thus reach the DOT in Ebbingekwartier from the location of the current Oosterpoort and the adjacent conservatory via Rademarkt, Kattendiep, Grote Markt, Kreupelstaat and the new Kunstwerf on Bloemstraat.
The city center from above, with four new cultural buildings in gold // Model: Cityscale
They will find a different cultural program each place. You can get something to drink or eat at the countless cafes and restaurants that are already here – it is not necessary in a cultural building itself, says Van Rootselaar. ‘With that, I, like people, force people to go into the city and visit more buildings, instead of staying for hours in an all-encompassing cultural building.’
With a simple intervention such as laying recognizable pavement, passers-by are pointed to special places, or they are directed in a certain direction. They then discover for themselves the historical network of alleys and corridors that Groningen is rich in. ‘In fact, the city center itself becomes the foyer for the various cultural buildings. The journey from one place to another is part of a play along different places that represent the time layers of the city. ‘
A concert hall in Martinikerk
For the design part of his graduation assignment, Van Rootselaar zoomed in on Martinikerk. For him, it is potentially the most beautiful hall in the city. »The necessary interventions for this are in theory not complicated. It is about logistical delivery and relocation, both of goods and visitors, and the creation of seating. That’s all.’
The Martinikerken is currently already being used as a multifunctional hall, so the idea was not new. But the building does not have space for wardrobe, toilets, changing rooms and storage. Van Rootselaar added these features in a new section that he placed between the existing north wall of the Grote Markt and the church. The design is a series of gates that, in continuation of the Martinique Church, subtly lead visitors and passers-by from place to place and to the church itself.
In Van Rootselaar’s design, a new urban situation is created around Martinikerk
Model with a view of the ‘gates’, which Van Rootselaar added between the North Wall on the Grote Markt and the Martinitoren, seen from Kreupelstraat
The addition is not only convenient, but also makes the central city square a nicer place. Van Rootselaar looked at the pre-war situation, where the Grote Markt functioned better as a space due to the almost closed north wall. “Due to the lack of closure, the market is now virtually empty. If you add a new piece between Martinikerken and the north wall, you also make the space better ».
On the other hand, the new building will provide a forecourt, oriented towards the Prefectenhof. The architect makes the war memorial that stands there part of the decor, by simply turning it a quarter turn. “I have tried to make the best use of what the city already has to offer. For in my view, this is how one should treat a city: preserve where possible, renew where necessary. ‘
Old places with a new meaning
‘The more I researched, the more I found out how beautiful Groningen is,’ says Van Rootselaar. ‘And what cultural stratification the city has, and how it can be found everywhere.’ The Martinique church, for example, went from a small church to a cruciform basilica and eventually to its present form. You can see these layers underground.
‘I crawled even under the floor. It turned out that you could get there pretty easily. I wanted to reflect the history of the church in my design. So I chose to place the hall in the church itself, but to have the route partially underground. That way, visitors can see the existing layers of time with their own eyes. ‘
“If you really did this, I would not know how to do it without the tower toppling”
Van Rootselaar klukker. “If you were actually doing this, I would not know how to do it without the tower toppling over. I was not very aware of the constructive effect that the interventions in my proposal would have. I was primarily looking at the experience of Space, I wanted to make that potential visible. ‘
Impression: to make the history of the church visible, van Rootselaar let the route to the hall run partly underground
Impression: The underground entrance to Martinikerk, with the connection to the north wall of the Grote Markt on the right
The architect himself is the first to admit that his idea does not involve the most obvious or feasible interventions. Spreading De Oosterpoort over several locations as well as renovating Martinikerk: just get started. But that is also not why he chose this theme for his graduation thesis.
‘By choosing this assignment, in addition to the relevance and topicality of the problem, I mainly show how I view the subject. And how I would like us to interact with the city. With the continued development of a city, places take on a new meaning. If you make a cultural-historical context in a new project, you get a design that corresponds to the history and the contemporary context. ‘
Whether Van Rootselaar’s plan is realistic or not: it is still advisable to keep various options open to De Oosterpoort. Choosing the seemingly easiest route is not a sustainable solution: the city does not necessarily benefit from it.
The new coalition agreement is due to be completed this month. The future of De Oosterpoort and its possible successor will also have a place in it. The ball is then on the court’s court. Instead of trying to shoot him spectacularly from the center line into the crossbar, a little wide might make more sense.

In an exciting blend of history, charity, and community spirit, Prague’s District 3 is auctioning off street signs from the former Koněvova Street, recently renamed Hartigova. This unique online auction proceeds will fund aid for children with disabilities.
The signs, which once marked Koněvova Street in Žižkov, are heading to a charitable online auction beginning this week. The district has two original signs for bidding, one from a house at Tachovského Square and the other from Ohrada. The starting bid for each sign is a symbolic 333 crown.
This initiative is not just about raising funds. It also represents a significant shift in the district’s history. The renaming of Koněvova Street to Hartigova has notably changed the map of Žižkov. The name of Ivan Stepanovich Konev, a symbol of Soviet imperialism, has disappeared from the area after more than 76 years.
The funds raised will be used for the purchase of rehabilitation aids, such as weight sensory blankets, which help calm the nervous system of clients at the Integration Center Garden. This institution provides holistic care to children with autism, cerebral palsy, Rett syndrome, and other serious diagnoses.
The former Koněvova received its new name on October 1st. It now carries the name of the first mayor of Žižkov, Karel Hartig, who built over sixty houses, including a school at Komenského Square, named the first streets, and played a significant role in the independence of Bohemia within Austria-Hungary.
The unusual auction and its story serve as a reminder of how even the most minor pieces of a city’s history can be used for good, bringing together past, present, and future in a way that benefits the community.

American Character was never as popular a doll maker as Tony or Madame Alexander … or for that matter, Barbie or even Ginny. But American Character dolls had the sweetest faces of any dolls of that generation. They were all so lovely. In my house, they still are.
Their best-selling doll was “Sweet Sue” of which this is an original. She was extremely popular from the early 1940s until the end of the 1950s when high-heeled fashion dolls became the trend.
Okay, let me rephrase. The doll is original. Her hair is original, but her clothing was shredded. I bought her a made-to-order dress. I also made her a hat because Sweet Sue always wore a hat and usually one with flowers.
She lives on my dresser along with two Cissy dolls from Madame Alexander and one Princess Elizabeth (as the child Queen of England), also by Madame Alexander.
Also, the hat is pretty cool, isn’t it?

Sir John Clifford Mortimer ( born 21 April 1923 ) is an English barrister turned prolific writer and dramatist.
………………… John Mortimer – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
John Mortimer is, or has been, a ” Switch ” in spanking terms. He is the Father of Emily Mortimer.
Recently some of John Mortimer’s spanking exploits have come to light in the recently published book, “Devil’s Advocate : The Unauthorised Biography of John Mortimer “.
These are a sample of articles about this book and Mortimer, some of the information is repeated:
Mortimer smarts at book’s claims he was Rumpy-Pumpy of the Bailey
” Rumpole takes a great big spanking
John Mortimer is no hero to his muckraking biographer, report Richard Brooks and Stuart Wavell “
Like one of the gnarled but magnificent lime trees that stand near his Chilterns home, John Mortimer has effortlessly weathered the tempests that have raged around his private life. Affable and avuncular, the 82-year-old bon viveur has remained a national treasure. But now the blasts are coming thick and fast from another direction, threatening the foundations of his reputation.
A new unauthorised biography of the grand old man of British literature claims that he did not write a word of Brideshead Revisited, the acclaimed television adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s novel with which Mortimer was solely credited. The book even poses a question mark over the quality of Rumpole of the Bailey, his most popular creation.
These body blows are of a different order from Mortimer’s admission last year of fathering a love child, Ross, with the actress Wendy Craig 42 years ago. The old roué, twice married and patriarch of an extended family, never concealed the fact that he was “a ladies’ man”. Many felt a grudging admiration that a man blessed with so few physical attributes had managed to seduce so many beautiful women.
Yet even this skill assumed a new aspect last week when two former girlfriends stepped forward to confirm Mortimer’s predilection for being spanked, revealed by Graham Lord in John Mortimer: The Devil’s Advocate.
“When it came to love-making, what he most liked me to do was to smack him on the botty,” Molly Parkin, the writer, told Lord.
Shirley Ann Field, the actress, who had an affair with the married Mortimer when she was 26, said: “He had this thing about spanking and hairbrushes. I thought, God, what a strange one we’ve got here.”
Apparently Mortimer, who is no longer able to bend down to tie his shoelaces, could also hand it out. Field recalled visiting him at his London flat in Little Venice and asking his 26-year-old secretary why she seemed flushed. To which she replied: “Well, how would you feel if you had just been spanked?” It gives a new meaning to one of Mortimer’s angry utterances on the threat to foxhunting. He complained that nowadays animal rights were fetishised to the degree that “in Sweden, a man caught spanking his wife with an eel was fined heavily for cruelty to the eel”. This masochistic trait, Lord suggests, derived from Mortimer’s unhappy childhood.
The charge that Mortimer continued to take undeserved credit for Brideshead Revisited comes from several sources. He began the adaptation in 1977, but his five scripts did not meet with the approval of Derek Granger, a senior producer at Granada Television, who told Lord: “We started rewriting from scratch and discarded John’s commissioned material so that in the end John didn’t write a single word of the television series of Brideshead. I wrote it entirely with a young writer from the BBC, Martin Thompson, and Michael Lindsay-Hogg made lots of suggestions.”
Asked why he had not simply asked Mortimer to rewrite the scripts, Granger replied that the writer was too “grand” to countenance such a suggestion. “And I didn’t want to get on the wrong side of John: he can be absolutely ferocious if things go against him. He’s enormously self- admiring and can be very difficult and intimidating.”
According to Lindsay-Hogg, although Mortimer’s script had “turned the book into a nice little telly play, it had set off in the wrong direction… I don’t think we used any of John’s original script”.
Thompson confirmed: “I was simply told we weren’t using John’s scripts. We decided to be more purist. We took much more of the dialogue of Waugh.”
Speaking this weekend, Mortimer conceded that there was a degree of truth in this: “Maybe what I wrote in my scripts is not all there. Maybe.” However, he insisted that his work had not been completely abandoned: “Some of the scenes are mine. It is true nonetheless that (the director, Charles) Sturridge, in particular, put in more of the book.”
Mortimer pointed out that he had delivered five scripts as requested. Six further episodes were added later: “Changes often happen. And if Derek Granger believes I never wrote a word of what appeared on screen, why do I get the sole writing credit?” Indeed, for 24 years Mortimer has accepted praise for the virtuoso series starring Anthony Andrews, Jeremy Irons, Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud — a fact that “stunned” Granger. “John even got paid for the extra episodes I wrote. I was baffled by that, but Granada didn’t know what else they could do. The series cost £10m to make and with repeat royalties, John would have made a very large amount of money.”
Mortimer admits: “I was advised by my agent not to talk about it.” To be fair, Mortimer was writing prodigiously at the time, having just delivered six stories based on the Rumpole television scripts to Judith Burnley, chief fiction editor at Penguin. Burnley told Lord that Mortimer was a careless writer: “He’s a bit sloppy, as he was with his ties when we were lunching.”
A more damning judgment came from Irene Shubik, who had commissioned the Rumpole television series from Mortimer: “Frankly he couldn’t write a real plot. It was all anecdotes strung together and there was never any heart in it… And if you asked him to make any changes he’d say, ‘Yes, darling, of course’, but then he wouldn’t do it, or only half do it. He was the definitive show-off.”
All in all, it’s quite a spanking. Mortimer alludes to the practice in the first episode of Brideshead, when the Oxford undergraduate Sebastian Flyte (played by Andrews) buys a hard hairbrush to spank his teddy bear, Aloysius.
By Lord’s account, a taste for masochistic sex suggests a child deeply wounded by parental neglect. Mortimer, he claims, had a lonely, cold childhood, at odds with his own version of events.
Mortimer does admit to having had affairs with Parkin, Field, Craig, Jane McKerran, who later married Brian Walden, the former Labour MP, and Susan Elliott, wife of Denholm Elliott, the late actor. However, he could not recall an affair with Jenny Bailey, a public relations executive who is named in Lord’s book.
“This is a very silly book,” Mortimer said. “However, I’m prepared to forgive Graham Lord because it was he who uncovered the fact that I’d had a son, Ross. And Ross has brought huge happiness to our family.”

Velocette was renowned for high quality, hand built motorcycles that not only pioneered many engineering innovations but could also back up their production with racing silverware. This set them apart from other marques.
As well as being incredibly successful at the Isle of Man TT they were popular on the streets, quickly becoming the leader not only in many races but where it matters most, out on the open road.

Delay-aware Computation Offloading in Mobile Edge Environment
This paper proposes a delay-aware resource allocation for computation offloading in mobile edge computing. Firstly, a novel computation offloading model is developed. After that, the closed-form expression for the optimal data segmentation strategy is presented. Finally, we convert the problem into a convex optimization problem and suggest a sub-gradient algorithm to find the optimal resource allocation. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed computation offloading algorithm can achieve a better performance than other baseline schemes.


When incessant rains in Assam triggered mudslides that washed away railway tracks in the state’s Dima Hasao district on 16 May and snapped road communication as well, Tripura stared at weeks of acute hardships.
The landlocked northeastern state is completely dependent on rail and road links through Assam for getting all its supplies — foodstuff, fuel, medicines, clothes and all other needs. Thus, when the mid-May natural disasters snapped those links in Assam, Tripura stared at crippling shortages of all commodities, including lifesaving drugs.
That has been Tripura’s curse all these decades since Independence. Incessant rains and floods, quite common in Assam, often cut off road and rail links in the state, causing acute distress to neighbouring states. This has been an annual phenomena and Tripura’s hapless residents have been undergoing the resultant acute hardships every year.
But things have started changing. Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of using transport links — roads, waterways and rail — through Bangladesh for movement of cargo and passenger traffic to and from the northeastern states, Tripura is no longer dependent on roads and rail lines passing through disaster-prone Assam for its needs.
Thus, when railway lines were swept away by mudslides in neighbouring Assam about four weeks ago, the authorities in Tripura were not very alarmed. They quickly got in touch with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in New Delhi. MEA officials then got in touch with Bangladeshi authorities.
“Bangladesh immediately agreed to help us and allowed use of its territory to transport goods to our state. We were running desperately short of LPG and discussed the matter with senior Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) executives in Guwahati. Bangladesh agreed to our request to allow transportation of two LPG bullets through its land routes,” Tripura Food & Civil Supplies Minister Manoj Kanti Deb told Swarajya from Agartala.
After getting Bangladesh’s consent, IOC authorities in Guwahati despatched two LPG bullets (each of more than 300 MT) by road through Meghalaya and the land border at Dawki to Bangladesh. The LPG bullets, mounted on two large trucks, travelled through Sylhet, Fenchuganj and Rajnagar to enter Tripura through Kailashahar.
The distance between Dawki (the town in Meghalaya along the Indo-Bangladeshi border) and Kailashahar in Tripura through Bangladesh is about 136 kilometres and takes under five hours.
“In less than 10 hours, the two LPG bullets had reached Kailashahar from Guwahati through this route,” said minister Deb.
The distance between Guwahati and Dawki is 176 km and that between Kailashahar and Tripura’s capital Agartala is 139 km. Thus, the distance between Guwahati and Agartala through Bangladesh is only 451 km.
Executive Director of IOC’s Assam Oil Division (AOD), G Ramesh, said that after the devastation in Dima Hasao district that snapped rail communication, the company was planning to use the land route through Meghalaya and then Barak Valley to transport LPG and petroleum products to Agartala.
That land route, which is prone to frequent landslides and resultant blockages, is a long one of nearly 600 km. The condition of that highway is also not very good and, as a result, it takes more than 24 hours for a truck to travel from Guwahati to Agartala.
“The route through Bangladesh is shorter and the conditions of roads in Bangladesh are very good. So it makes much more sense to send LPG bullets and oil tankers from Assam to Tripura, and also to Mizoram and Manipur, through Bangladesh. There is considerable savings in cost and time,” said Ramesh.
The two LPG bullets reached Tripura last week. Minister Deb said that Bangladesh has agreed to allow use of its land, rail and waterways to transport goods from Assam and Bengal to other states of the region. The Food Corporation of India (FCI), he added, will start using the Bangladesh route to send foodgrains from its depots in Assam to Tripura.
Secretary of Tripura’s Food and Civil Supplies Department, Saradindu Choudhury, said that though the road link between Tripura and Assam is open now, floods disrupt that link nearly every year. “It is good that the option to get goods via Bangladesh is now open to us,” he said.
This is not the first time, however, that IOC has used the Bangladesh route to send its products to Tripura from Assam. In August-September 2016, when floods and landslides in Assam and Meghalaya damaged National Highway 6 in Assam’s Barak Valley and rendered it unusable, IOC transported seven tankers carrying 84,000 litres of kerosene and diesel from Guwahati to Tripura through Bangladesh.
A senior MEA official told Swarajya that Bangladesh had agreed in principle to allow use of its land, rail and waterways to transport goods from Assam to Tripura and Mizoram. “This overland route through Bangladesh will be kept open as an option to transport goods. A separate protocol for this is being prepared,” he said.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said that in the past, people of his state had no option but to suffer from severe shortages of food, fuel and even lifesaving drugs due to disruption of road and rail links through Assam. “The Congress and CPI(M) governments in Tripura never made any attempt to explore the option of using the Bangladesh route to get goods to Tripura and ease the terrible sufferings of the people. They never had the welfare of the common people at heart,” he said.
Similarly, said the Tripura Chief Minister, successive federal governments at the Centre also never even thought of opening transit links through Bangladesh. “Only Prime Minister Modi has displayed that sagacity and vision to frame agreements with Bangladesh allowing use of its roads, rail and waterways for movement of cargo and even people. The severe disadvantage that northeastern states used to suffer from on account of being landlocked is being overcome now,” he said.

Review by Ian Keogh
For much of Untitled Ape’s Epic Adventure puzzlement and confusion are the abiding feelings as the surreal and the inexplicable are the order of the day. Steven Tillotson, however, is such a diverting storyteller we’re entertained enough with the crumbs thrown and the whimsy on offer that the bigger picture can happily hang in the background.
The prologue shows a ghost elevating to the planet’s surface before morphing into a great purple ape. His first encounter involves a display of strength as he retrieves a packet of cigarettes for a coarse cat. They fall into each other’s company as a flood of biblical proportions develops. The untitled ape feels his family is endangered in the jungle and his duty is to help them, and the cat tags along, resourceful, yet seemingly without greater purpose.
Around the halfway point we discover the ape has a name, and a past. There are sinister parties very keen to see that past become his future also, and ruthless in their coercion. This, though, is never violently depicted, instead supplied by sly implication and off panel action. It’s with these sections that the story moves slightly away from its all-ages veneer, and further with a brief glimpse at what’s either depression or addiction.
In 2012 Tillotson was the runner-up in the annual Observer/Jonathan Cape short story prize with a tale about yeti that can be read here. The yeti and mammoth featured are returned among the many other odd creatures met along the way, almost universally friendly and helpful, if sometimes in oblique or random fashion.
There’s a welcoming simplicity about the cartooning. The cat vaguely resembles archetypes familiar from TV animation, and the ape brings to mind the cigar-smoking robot from Aama of all places, with its blank yet somehow expressive face. There are also touches of Edward Gorey, both in the overall outlook and some of the Victorian style embellishment, and for a single page Tillotson slips into an impressive cartooned version of Bosch’s torments of hell.
Tillotson has a great talent for indulging the whimsical, and time after time there’s an answer to a hanging question that richly rewards with a smile. What is it that the yeti has to do? How does the cat come back with beer from the top of the mountain? Eventually one quest becomes another and a final surprise awaits our ape.
It’s almost impossible to resist searching for allegory in Untitled Ape’s Epic Adventure, but ultimately the oddness is just that with no greater meaning. Tillotson has no axe to grind nor a point to rub in our faces, leaving the journey of a pleasant gentle giant again finding his way in the world. It’s a testament to the values of loyalty and friendship that’ll charm, surprise and amuse, and isn’t that enough?

Four Key Beverage Industry Trends for 2017 are Changing What Consumers Buy
January 02, 2017
Changing demographics and purchasing behaviors make it crucial for beverage industry leaders to understand and capitalize on key consumer insights that identify growing trends. Evergreen Packaging®, a global leader in creating fiber-based packaging solutions, has worked with EcoFocus Worldwide to identify four key trends from the annual EcoFocus Trend Study* that reveals growing themes expected to impact the industry in the coming year. “The research reveals key areas brands must deliver on in order to appeal to discerning consumers in 2017,” said Erin Reynolds, marketing director for Evergreen Packaging. “The consumer insights gained through the EcoFocus Trend Study reveal opportunities for choosing packaging that provides appropriate product protection and aligns with enhanced brand values for health and environmental responsibility. At Evergreen Packaging we are committed to helping our customers achieve their corporate goals and meeting changing consumer needs.” The survey, conducted independently by EcoFocus Worldwide, examines wellness and sustainability trends impacting the food and beverage industry. In its seventh year, new study results show how consumer tastes, demographics and values are reshaping purchasing decisions. These shifts in consumer priorities are prompting companies to make changes. From Walmart's commitment to sustainably sourced packaging to McDonalds' pledge to source 100 percent of all fiber-based packaging from recycled or certified sources by 2020, and Food Business News declaring clean labeling as the top trend of the year - it is clear that fresh and sustainable will be trends at the heart of consumer demands throughout 2017. “These study results show that a majority of grocery shoppers have identified products' fresh, clean, and sustainable benefits among their top purchase priorities when it comes to healthier choices,” said study author and Chief Executive Officer of EcoFocus Worldwide, Linda Gilbert. “The message is clear: if you are a brand aiming to attract consumers to your healthy beverages, be sure your packaging and processing line up with your ingredient list. And be sure to tell your fresh and clean story effectively on your packaging.” Insights from the research call out four trends: 1) Millennials' impact on food and beverage priorities, 2) the importance of clean packaging, 3) the power of leveraging of fresh and clean attributes to position healthy products, and 4) the growing popularity of functional beverages: 1. Millennial Motivators Millennials hold huge buying power in today's market, and are expected to spend more than $200 billion in 2017 alone. In order to successfully reach Millennials, it's important for brands to understand what influences their purchasing. According to Forbes, more than 50 percent of Millennials make an effort to buy products from companies that support the causes they care about, and they're twice as likely to care about whether or not their food is organic than any other generation. The EcoFocus survey results illustrate additional details that tie into this larger national trend:
- Millennials are leading the escape from mass produced, over-processed and over-packaged foods and beverages with a demand for real, less processed ingredients. They want the preservatives and artificial ingredients out, and natural, nutrient-dense ingredients in.
- 69% of Millennials have changed what they buy in order to avoid artificial ingredients in foods and beverages.
- 73% say they try to buy products in packaging that is recyclable.
- 59% say they look for beverages in packaging that is made with renewable materials.
- 70% of Grocery Shoppers strongly agree or agree that foods and beverages with healthier ingredient lists should use packaging materials that are healthier too. (74% of Millennials)
- With the demand for healthier packaging materials, it's important to keep in mind that 86% of Grocery Shoppers and 87% of Millennials believe some types of packaging can leave undesirable chemicals in beverages. They say cartons and glass containers are the least likely to do so and that cartons and glass best protect freshness without preservatives.
- 74% of Grocery Shoppers and 78% of Millennials say better personal health is a big benefit of an eco-friendly lifestyle.
- 71% of Grocery Shoppers say that packaging that keeps beverages fresh without preservatives is the most important quality for healthy beverage packaging. (72% of Millennials)
- 67% of Grocery Shoppers and 69% of Millennials say recyclable packaging is an extremely or very important quality for healthy beverage packaging.
- 59% of Grocery Shoppers and 64% of Millennials say packaging made with renewable materials is an extremely or very important quality for healthy beverage packaging.
- When identifying the most desirable nutritional attributes for healthy beverages, grocery shoppers surveyed shared the following preferences:
- 63% are seeking a good source of calcium.
- 61% are looking for beverages that are a good source of fiber.
- 61% want their beverages to contain lowered or reduced sugar.
- 60% are drawn to beverages that are a good source of antioxidants.
- 57% want to consume beverages with increased protein.
- 55% buy beverages because they are a good source of omega 3.
- 46% of grocery shoppers are looking for beverages that contain probiotics.

There was no speech to be made. As Layer says, “Not a single word could’ve turned things around for us.” There was no explanation for the way the Liberty Flames began their season, as one of the nation’s worst men’s basketball teams, and only a madman would have suggested a trip to the NCAA tournament was possible.
Layer had faith, though. His players had faith. The entire school, in fact, was founded on faith. And so here, 31
2 months later, the least logical entity in this swirl of March Madness, opens the tournament Tuesday night in Dayton, Ohio, facing North Carolina A&T in a play-in game.
Despite winning the Big South tournament, Liberty’s résumé is one of the worst the tournament has ever seen. With a 15-20 record, they’re only the second 20-loss team to ever reach the NCAA tournament and will carry the nation’s 289th-best RPI ranking into Tuesday’s game. They beat just 12 Division I opponents but not a single one was ranked in the top 150 of the RPI rankings. The Flames’ schedule was rated No. 297 in the nation, yet they couldn’t string together back-to-back wins over D-I schools until the conference tournament.
“The record doesn’t tell our full story,” junior Davon Marshall said.
Most students at Liberty enroll with a basic understanding of faith. The school was founded in 1971 by Jerry Falwell and still today requires students to adhere to strict Christian principles. Students who live on campus must attend convocation three times a week and all students must agree with a social contract called “the Liberty Way,” that covers everything from language (no cursing) and dating to the consumption of pop culture.
If nothing else, this season’s early struggles offered a great testament to the challenges of faith.
“If you’re 0-8, it’s going to be hard on a believer and a non-believer,” said junior John Caleb Sanders, the team’s leading scorer, averaging 14.2 points per game.
Before the season even began, the Flames lost their best player, Antwan Burrus, to a season-ending foot injury. They dropped their season opener to Richmond by 42 points. And then things started to get difficult.
Two more starters were sidelined because of injuries, and two others quit the team entirely. Attendance dipped below 1,300 at one point, and players could hear fans in the stands griping, challenging players to one-on-one matchups, debating when Layer might get fired.
“Everyone was questioning us,” Marshall said. “Sometimes I would just think ahead to my senior year, maybe just put this year behind me. But every day coach was telling us not to give up.”
Before loss No. 7, assistant coach Jason Eaker pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a controlled substance. He had been charged in the offseason with photocopying personal prescriptions. Eaker was immediately placed on administrative leave and never rejoined the team.


Director of U.S. Trade and Development Agency: Who Is Leocadia Zak?
President Barack Obama turned to an agency veteran, Leocadia I. Zak to lead the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). USTDA is an independent agency responsible for helping promote development in other countries while also advancing economic opportunities for US businesses. It carries out this dual mission by distributing funds to foreign projects that in turn hire American companies to perform such work as technical assistance, feasibility studies and training. Zak was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as USTDA director on March 10, 2010, and assumed office April 10.

A Crucial Step for Insurers Preparing for Artificial Intelligence
AI is HOT
Artificial intelligence (AI) is HOT right now. In 2016, AI and Internet of Things (IoT) start-ups raked in half of all global insurance technology investments, according to Accenture. Many insurers are optimistic that AI will be able to quickly help them automate processes that currently are performed manually, draining financial and human resources.
AI offers a few tantalizing, and perhaps surprising, benefits for insurers.
- It can help increase customer engagement and retention in a low-touch industry by generating offers that are personalized to specific customers and presented at the right time in the sales cycle.
- Robotic process automation (RBA) can help lower insurers’ costs. Japanese insurance firm Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance replaced 34 staff members back in January with an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can calculate insurance payouts. At the time the move was announced, BBC Asia said the company expected to save around 140m yen (£979,500/$1.2m) a year in salaries after the 200m yen system was installed.
- Financial Times cites some higher-level benefits, such as using algorithms to analyze policy details to see if customers should switch policies, combining The Internet of Things with AI to increase customer stickiness and proactively solve problems via AI (predict and prevent car accidents, etc.).
Analyst firm Novarica is bullish on the technology’s long-term impact:
Insurers are in the early stages of catching this wave. Artificial intelligence eventually stands to disrupt existing analytical models and methods within the insurance industry, especially pertaining to underwriting, customer service, claims, and actuarial science.
AI’s benefits will only be reaped, however, by insurers who first take care of one crucial step…
Not So Fast
Reporting on an AI panel discussion held at the Global Insurance Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa, Digital Insurance’s editor-in-chief, Nathan Golia, noted that participants arrived at a general consensus on what insurers need to do before capitalizing on AI.
Insurers are keen to adapt artificial intelligence in the enterprise, but first they must build up a layer of data and analytics excellence.
Panelists also discussed the importance of “fast data” and quick decision-making.
Not All Advanced Analytics Systems are Created Equal
To work effectively, AI will require easy access to troves of sorted data provided by an effective business intelligence (BI) system, as well as other types of unstructured data. With today’s rampant privacy concerns, though, it is also necessary to obtain the consent of the customer to store his/her sensitive data and to use an advanced analytics system that can delineate sensitive from non-confidential data.
Sapiens’ recent white paper describes how pre-integration enables insurers to receive information from wearables or their customer engagement platform, and then quickly begin inputting that new information into their marketing efforts, so they can adjust strategy based on tangible data and trends.
Hype or Reality?
Artificial Intelligence is generating a lot of hype in the industry, but it will remain a buzzword until insurers first get their data and analytics in order.

Regular collection of trash, recycling and composting has resumed, including bulk and brush collections. As of today, three contract crews will be working alongside City staff to expedite the collection of storm debris materials.
Remember to compost as much spoiled food as possible. Recycle empty plastic, glass and metal containers in your blue recycling cart. Keep waxy paper, plastic wrap and Styrofoam packaging out of your green and blue carts.
Our crews are working to get Austin cleaned up as soon as possible, here's how you can help us speed up the process and keep our workers safe:
- Follow set-out guidelines as closely as you can. We realize there may be space limitations, but the guidelines make it possible for us to collect the material with that equipment.
- Clear unnecessary items out of the roadways to allow our trucks to pass through and collect the debris at the curb.
- Slow down to get around. As always, we're asking Austin drivers to please drive slowly when approaching City vehicles and to be alert to potential field employees working on the street.
ARR customers can request a collection of large tree limbs due to the storm by calling 3-1-1 (or 512-974-2000) or submitting a storm debris collection request through the Austin 3-1-1 mobile app or at austin311.org.
Limbs should be at the curb ready for collection. ARR crews will assess and collect them as soon as possible.

The busier life has gotten, the more I’ve come to value meals that are 1) quick to prepare, 2) can be made in advance, or 3) can be taken on the go. These tasty Strawberry-Banana Breakfast Bars fit the bill! Think of them as handheld oatmeal – soft and chewy with juicy baked fruit. They taste the best warm from the oven, but they’re also delicious at room temperature and can be reheated in the oven or microwave if you prefer.
It’s usually a wonderful thing when chocolate and peanut butter come together, and these granola bars are no exception. With the peanut butter’s heart-healthy unsaturated fat and the oats’ fiber, these make a fulling and nutritious portable snack or on-the-go breakfast item. Best of all? A batch can be made well in advance and kept in the fridge for at least 2 weeks. Yum!
Happy Monday, everyone! Another weekend went by way too fast, but I hope you were able to enjoy it. Yesterday’s temperatures had me parked on my backyard patio for most of the afternoon, reading, snacking, and enjoying the sunshine. Such a welcomed day considering all the rain we’ve had these past few weeks. You’d better believe that one of these dreamy peach-rhubarb creamsicles was had, and I think they made the day even brighter.

It’s challenging to juggle everything life throws at us, and we often don’t have a surplus of energy to use for planning meals and snacks. The average person could skip a meal or snack and go hungry for a few hours and life will go on (although your productivity and mood might suffer!), but for my clients recovering from eating disorders, adequate and consistent nourishment is totally, 100% vital. Skipping a meal or snack can be the catalyst for a relapse if this behavior isn’t caught and corrected right away. But those recovering from eating disorders have responsibilities and hectic schedules, too, so planning ahead and… View Post

Telluride adopts law against aggressive panhandling
TELLURIDE – Telluride has adopted rules against aggressive panhandling after making some changes sought by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Town councilors voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt the revised ordinance.
The council agreed to stick with four provisions not objected to by the ACLU, such as making it illegal for people soliciting donations to touch or grab someone or block their path. They scrapped rules the ACLU said would unfairly limit the right of people, including street musicians, to peacefully solicit donations.
Last month, Fort Collins also agreed to make similar changes to its panhandling law after the ACLU challenged it in federal court.
The ACLU has also challenged Grand Junction’s panhandling law in court.

This design is a tribute to the bond between the oceans and the moon.
Selene in Greek mythology is the goddess of the moon described as the eye of the night. Selene is depicted wearing a crescent moon crown hence the design of this piece.
As the goddess of the moon, Selene was the patron of the feminine. She was believed to have the power to ease childbirth and inspire love. Selene also was believed to have the power to mask reality and pierce illusion.
Selene is also said to awaken intuition and spark psychic visions. She is often considered to be the patron of solutions, which often come to people in dreams when the subconscious mind has a chance to process information that has not been consciously acknowledged.
I used a larimar stone in this design to represent the bond between the moon and the oceans. The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun govern the tides causing a continuous ebb and flow of the oceans and Larimar is one of the cardinal water element stones.
Larimar is said to be a wonderful stone to introduce into your life if you are trying to harness the powers of water. Water is the element that rules our emotions meaning it is a great stone to use for anxiety.
Water is central to the Ebb and Flo experience. Without the moon we wouldn’t have the tides and without the tides we wouldn’t have the core element to Ebb & Flo.

Marc Chagall was a Russian born Jewish painter who moved to Paris in 1910 and became known as one of the pioneers of surrealist art. His love of color (especially blue) and symbolism was both fanciful and very personal. I can't help but see the spiritual side of his figures floating in the night sky, surrounded in love. He often used birds and moons to interact with his spirits... perhaps winged messengers. Hand made brass dangling earrings to add a mystic touch. Super light weight and easy to wear. Made in the USA by hand. Approximately 3 1/2" long.
All orders over $50 ship for free within the USA. All orders usually ship within 24 hours from the USA.
I really love this earrings; I love the dreamy & romantic theme. It’s not too heavy either for me, personally. I haven’t tried to wear it all day/ all night yet, but I don’t think it’d be a problem 😊

The story is told of a woman who left her husband. The husband called the police and filed a “missing persons report.” A few weeks later the police found her a few counties over. They asked him if he wanted them to take him to her. By now the husband had realized how poorly he had treated his wife. He decided to write his wife, and he did for months. Finally, Christmas came, and he went to see her (she was in a run down hotel). He asked her to come home and she did. On the way home he said, “I’ve written you for months, why did you come home so easily?”
She replied, “Because those were just letters, this time you came in person.”
Christ came in person to save us and show us His love.

Nottingham vs AFC Bournemouth
While forest struggle at the back , Bournemouth have conceded the most of any side this term.The visitors have also got the worst attacking record of any premier league side so far.Forest are unbeaten in their last 16 competitive matches wining 12 in this run.In this pair,we are having confidence to bank high on home win since they have proved the best while at home soil.With this analysis upheld,we feel that a 2-1 fulltime score in favour of the host will capture the best punting option here.
prediction: Nottingham to win Big
Luton vs Wigan
Luton have drawn four of their last six home championship matches.Wigan have drawn four of their last nine away league games.Three of the last four meetings between these two clubs were drawn while the other was decided by a stoppage -time winner.In this fixture,we are therefore banking high on both teams to score at full time.
prediction: Both teams to score

Reader submitted question: “Could you kindly advise me on whether I should drill holes in the bottom of the bin for drainage? You have mentioned in the book to drill in the side”
My assumption, from your question is, that you are making your own worm composting bin following my instructions How to make the Simplest Worm Composting Bin out of a storage tote or tub. If that is the case, I recommend drilling drainage holes in the side of the worm bin. The lowest hole should be roughly 3 or 4 inches from the bottom of the worm bin. By simply tilting the worm bin you can drain off excess worm bin leachate. I find this much easier for beginning worm composters than asking them to drill holes in the bottom and the use some sort of tray to collect the leachate.
Drilling drainage holes in the bottom is not wrong, its just a more complicated approach and my goal with the instructions for this particular worm bin is to get new worm composters started and having some early success.
If you are purchasing a worm bin, almost all commercial bins come with built in drain valves so you don’t need to drill your own drainage holes. Here are my reviews of a few of the most popular worm composting bins on the market.

When Chassidic master Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Spira (known as the Bnei Yissaschar after the book he authored by that name) was ten years old, his father took a position as a teacher in a distant town.
Tzvi Elimelech’s father spent the duration of the winter in a Jewish-owned inn. In those days it was normal for a teacher not to see his family from October to April.
That winter was particularly bitter. Snowstorms lasted for a week. During one such storm, a knock was heard at the door. The innkeeper opened the door and found three half frozen Polish peasants requesting a place to stay. He inquired of their ability to pay and found that their combined funds were not enough for even one night’s stay. The innkeeper closed the door on them. The teacher was shocked. When he complained to the innkeeper, the innkeeper merely shrugged and responded, “Do you want to undertake their expenses?” Much to the innkeeper’s surprise, the teacher agreed.
The peasants thanked their benefactor and proceeded to enjoy themselves at his expense. That storm was particularly harsh, and the peasants remained in the inn for two weeks. After the snow cleared enough for passage, they thanked the teacher profusely and left.
Passover approached and the Bnei Yissaschar’s father went to settle his account. The innkeeper figured he owed the teacher 40 rubles for teaching his children, but the teacher owed him 43 rubles for taking in the peasants. The innkeeper wished him a Happy Passover and said he could bring the three rubles upon his return after the festival. The teacher did not know what to say. He bid his employer farewell and left. He traveled to his village but could not bring himself to go home. He stopped into one of the local synagogues, opened a book of the Talmud and immersed himself in study. In the meantime, his son heard that his father was in town and went looking for him. He found his father in the shul.
Young Tzvi Elimelech ran to his father and with great emotion begged his father to come home. He wanted to show his father his new Passover shoes and clothes and all the other things mommy had bought (on credit). This made the father feel even worse. As they walked home a chariot came rumbling through the streets. The streets of that hamlet were very narrow, and pedestrians were forced into alleyways to avoid being trampled. As the coach passed by the two, it hit a bump and a parcel fell off the back.
The Bnei Yissaschar’s father picked it up and began running after the coach but was unable to get the coachman’s attention. The coach turned a corner and disappeared. The Bnei Yissaschar’s father, seeing no distinguishing marks on the bag (according to Torah law, in such a situation it may be presumed that the owner would relinquish all hope of its recovery and the lost object may be kept by the finder) and realizing that there was no possible way for him to locate the owner, opened the parcel. Inside were exactly 43 rubles!
The night of the Passover seder, the Bnei Yissaschar was given the job to open the door for Elijah the Prophet. When he opened the door, he called to his father, “Father, the coachman is here!” (The child merited to see Elijah in the form of the coachman.)
His father came quickly to the door, but no one was there.
The Bnei Yissaschar’s father pulled the boy aside and told him that he must promise never to tell anyone this story until the very last day of his life.
Reb Tzvi Elimelech kept his word. Not until the last day of his life did he tell this story.
As seen in The Moshiach Times Nissan 5781 and with slight adaptation from Chabad.org story by Herschel Finman.Herschel Finman shared: This story was told to me by the chosid Rabbi Shalom Ber Gordon, of blessed memory, who heard it from a disciple of the Bnei Yissaschar, who heard it directly from the Bnei Yissaschar on his deathbed.Rabbi Finman can be reached at www.rabbifnman.com
Rabbi Tzvi-Elimelech Spira of Dinov (1777-1841) was named after his maternal uncle, Rabbi Elimelech of Lizensk, who had told the young woman that she would give birth to a young man who would be a “light of the world.” He was a follower of the Seer of Lublin, who told him that he was a reincarnation of the great early Torah sages of the tribe of Yissaschar (Issachar). He became known as the Bnei Yissaschar (Sons of Issachar) – the title he gave to his classic Chassidic work. He became a well-known Rebbe in his own right and a prolific writer who championed the study of Kabbalah and other Jewish mystical texts. – from Chabad.org

Though it’s the smallest of the three new Douglas County Libraries, it houses the branch library, the city’s administration offices, and a community meeting area that can be open to the public after the library is closed. This two-story library features a second-floor open air patio with a three-sided fireplace and green roof. The exterior façade of the Castle Pines branch matches the aesthetic and design of the other Douglas County Libraries.
The landscaping of Castle Pines provides an example to the community of a usable xeriscape design. Castle Pines Library also features a charging station for electric vehicles.
