Believe it or not, this is NOT a double exposure. The birds were part of a window display and the building you see is the reflection of another building that was across the street. Came out pretty cool, no?
Given only 60 seconds to shoot Ke$ha, this was definitely the strongest of my pictures of her. I really enjoyed the performance though!

THE REWRITING OF HISTORY .
Friends, .
One of the most contentious issues of the last few years relates to the rewriting of history textbooks by the NDA government and their .
reJection by the UPA government. If there can be any legitimate criticism of the new NCERT textbooks, it can only be that, perhaps owing to the .
pulls and pressures of coalition politics, no real paradigm shift was attempted and no alternative, indigenous vision of Indian history was sought to. . .
be constructed. .

The charges regarding 'saffronization' -one fails to understand how this term has come to acquire a negative meaning -fall flat at the .
and the fact that Marxist academics talking of 'saffronization' were, in fact, referring only to some factual errors which crept into the new tex1books .
as a result of oversight, and not to any concrete instances of 'saffronization', come as a resounding slap in the face of Marxist propaganda. .
So far as 'distortion' of history -another catchword from the Marxist lexicon -is concerned, any serious student of social sciences .
understands that history is not a body of factual information, but a discipline based on contesting interpretations and approaches to questions of the .
.
past. Every model of historical 'knowledge' is thus only a construct; a way of looking at the past. Any historical narrative based on legitimate .
sources and coherently argued does constitute a valid contribution to historiography. .
However, 'distortions' are possible in the case of school textbooks, for any attempt of selective concealment and projection of facts by an .
ideology having no popular base in order to indoctrinate young minds can be considered nothing but a devious attempt at 'distortion'. Instances .
galore of such attempts can be seen in the old NCERT textbooks. R.S. Sharma's 'Ancient India' talks about 'Aryan migration' -a theory that was .
passed on by imperialist writers to the child people, the Indian Marxists, as 'Aryan invasion' before it got toned down for want of evidence -without .

any archaeological evidence, which is indispensable for the study of pre-history, proto-history and early historical societies. All that the theory rests on is a weak philological basis. Even Romila Thapar has now been compelled to accept that there is no conclusive proof of Aryan migration. That beef eating was common in early India is enthusiastically argued, despite the fact that while early literary evidences are often contradictory, the generic term which includes cow, buffalo, bison etc. Nowhere in these excavations have cow bones been conclusively found to establish beef archaeological evidence on beef eating is far from conclusive. The bones, with cut marks, found in different excavations are those of catHe, a eating. While accounting for the rise of heterodoxies, R.S. Sharma takes refuge in economic determinism, arguing that the altered material context -the need to work an iron plough in the middle Gangetic plains and the consequent need to preserve cattle wealth -led to a change in ideology. dialectics of material forces, without mentioning that this is only 'one' philosophical approach to the understanding of societies and 'he'. being a Thus, the simplistic 'base-superstructure' model is used by a Marxist ideologue to convince young minds that historical evolution is a result of the Marxist himself, prefers it over others. This Marxist regime of truth is calculated to create a band of future Marxists-note that history students in DU, JNU, etc. are often Marxists despite the ideology otherwise having only a peripheral presence in India-who have been 'converted' at ayoung .
age! Onlya rewriting ofhistory textbooks can prevent further conversions byMarxist missionaries/ .
The textbooks on medieval India have sought to project the medieval state in India as non-theocratic, ignoring the fact that 'theocracy' Is not the real issue, as far as the medieval state is concerned. For, the basis of state in medieval India was unequivocally Islam, which provided almost all the symbols of state, and provided legitimacy to that state. Numerous instances of temple destructions are rationalized as quests for .
power, wealth and legitimacy from the Ulema, despite the fact that no evidence can show that fanaticism was not a reason for the destruction of .

Have you ever given thought to the humble potato?
The potato is an often-understated, yet immensely versatile, culinary staple the world over.
It's ubiquitous globally, and used in myriad dishes, many of which are similar throughout numerous cultures worldwide. Potato latkes are essentially the "Jewish version" of potato pancakes — a dish with which many of us may be familiar. Potato dumplings are known as samosa in India, pierogi in Poland, wonton in Southeast Asia, knish in Jewish communities, etc.
Baked potatoes, potato casserole, French fried potatoes, poutine (a Canadian dish using French fries), potato chips, hash browns, potatoes au gratin, potato salad (Kartoffelsalat – a German dish served hot, American potato salad – served cold), scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, creamed potatoes, potato sticks, curly fries, and more, are but a few of the ways the potato can be prepared.
Potatoes can be additions to, or used as the primary ingredient in, stews, soups, shepherd’s pie, fondant potatoes (a preparation & presentation method), tater tots (American), Lyonnaise potatoes (French), and numerous other dishes.
This RECIPE for a quick-n-easy-to-prepare Classic Potato Soup may be found HERE.

Days before New year day Guruji had given Darshans for Matajis and Prabhus separately and Guruji had given satsangs and talks encouraging us all to sing the divine names with Him.
For New years eve a livestream production had occurred here on site to give the internationally community an overview of activities worldwide, including the inauguration of the Sri Vitalla Dham ashram and the Paranitya temple which through Gurujis grace have manifested.
The new years celebrations began in the temple with euphoric Kirtan getting everyone on their feet. At midnight Guruji began the new year with offering Arati to the deities gracing us all with His presence. The night continued with fireworks and then to the tent with Premavahini, a band from Croatia, offering their heart in song, leading us into the new year with Harinaam.
New years day again was a spectacular morning where Guruji gave us the opportunity to witness abhishekam to His personal deities. He ended the festivities with a beautiful talk on the importance of being grateful. Not just for the year but everyday and wishing everyone not just a happy new year but Happy days and that we understand the importance of being grateful for every day that has been given to us by God.

(HGM 967 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"1236 Eagle" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Cobalt" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey produced. It is also known as "Stiegel Blue".
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Stiegel Blue: 1932-1941. Commonly called cobalt blue. Heisey's has exceptionally good color.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

"Beaker Head Challenge: 3018 - Louis Riel School Science 8-1
When given the topic of the world in 3018, many students first thoughts were futuristic technology, for example: flying cars, robots and advanced spaceships. But there were also many thoughts that our world will be a wasteland in the future, with nothing but trash everywhere. We thought of many ideas for our final tapigami sculpture like a pill with items inside, or a newspaper with news on what's happening or stuff popping out of it. The final idea that ended up winning the most student votes was a spaceship. We incorporated other ideas with it like junk you would find in space and future weapons.
Getting to that final idea was not simple either, some students argued that spaceships already exist, and weren't futuristic enough. The students that chose the spaceship said that it represents the evolution of humans. According to World Population Growth in the past 100 years, our world population has increased from 1.5 to 6.1 billion people. If we keep increasing at this rate, humans will overpopulate quickly which would lead us to colonize on other planets. As many scientist have stated, including Stephen Hawking, this will be a necessary movement in order to keep the human race thriving. Around the spaceships, students who disagree with the idea would put what they feel best represents the future. We called that space junk. Many students wanted futuristic weapons as they feel that better represents the future. They will have them around the spaceship.
When it came to making the robot, students split themselves into 2 groups. It was based off of who wanted to do what, but it was still split evenly. Many people in our class wanted to help in the building process so we ended up have many smaller groups working on space junk and one group working on the spaceship. A student took the time to make a design that we used as our diagram. Throughout the week we had to simplify our plan due to time restraints. Instead of making the space junk items we expect to see in the future, they used balls of rolled masking tape, attempting to make it look like actual trash. Some made a few weapons but not many. The other group making the spaceship is planning to make it shoot bullets. Our end product and the journey to it was quite satisfactory.
