|Smt. Sangita Gairola||Member and Convener Secretary, Ministry of Culture|
Smt. Sangeeta Gairola, Secretary Culture, Government of India, welcomed the members of the Mission, and gave a brief background of the developments that culminated in the constitution of NML. She pointed out that the terms of reference of NML have emanated from the recommendations of the National Knowledge Commission (NKC). Secretary, Culture expressed concern on the declining reading habit in the country. The Mission will have to focus attention how we can provide access to reading material in libraries in print and electronic form with the help of ICT.The Chairman, in his opening remarks, emphasized that the Mission should take decisions on the implementation of the recommendations as early as possible and provide a roadmap for the future. He said that the tenure of the Mission is for three years. It may not be feasible to suggest creation of new institutions or libraries. It would be better to up-grade the existing libraries. The Chairman said that he has given some suggestions which have been circulated to the members. He requested the Members to offer their comments/observationson the future activities and programmes to be undertaken by the Mission. Dr. H. K. Kaul, said that all types of libraries (i.e. public, academic, special and school libraries) are under the ambit of the Mission. He informed that digitized version of 180 million pages (4,40,000 books) are available on the web, and the NML could supplement the digital material by creating new content, if required. He suggested that there should be knowledge centres in villages with new contents on health, agriculture, etc. in different languages, for which Post Offices and schools can be used. Dr. Kaul also said that there is a need to empower the librarians. Suitable training is needed for librarians so that they can use the online content. Networking can help these libraries to access online and digitized materials. Infrastructure development in public libraries is another area that needs immediate attention. Dr. Kaul said that the present course curriculum of library schools is outdated and there is a need to strengthen the training facilities. Shri Subbiah Arunachalam suggested that National Census of Libraries must be given top priority so as to have objective and accurate data on the spread and use of libraries. He said thatthe reading habit is coming down and one of the main objectives of the Mission should be to make available books to the readers. Shri Arunachalam observed that emphasis must given to upgrade the present LIS system, and NML must make a strong case to improve library education. Shri Arunachalam emphasized that there is a rural urban divide in dissemination of information. He mentioned about his experience with the Swaminathan Research Foundation’s Projects. He stressed the importance of development of relevant content in rural areas, beneficial to the rural community to transform libraries into community service centres. Prof. A. R. D.Prasad mentioned about the importance of multimedia information kits for the neo literates. He mentioned that public libraries should also offer referral services. A survey should be conducted to assess the information needs of the community. A data driven policy document should be prepared for the library sectors. He also mentioned that ISO certification is important for the standard practices in libraries. Prof. Prasad said that for the purpose of maintenance of data repositories, cloud computing technology may be adopted by the libraries. He also emphasized the importance of open access to information and open data repositories. He explained the need to establish Indian Institute of Library Science which would engage researchers to develop standards, best practices, preparation of training modules etc. and contribute to decision making process of the NML. The institute would have collaborative arrangement with various international agencies and also take up research projects from them. Prof. Swapan Chakraborthy said that the Mission should give more attention to deliverables. One of the major purposes should be to identify and prioritize them. These may include (i) Integrated staff development plan (ii) Leadership training programme (iii) Information security issues caused by migration of technology etc. (iv) Creation of joint use libraries (v) Special provision for orthopedically handicapped in public libraries (vi) Revision of Delivery of Books (Newspapers) Act of 1954. Shri B. S. Baswan said that the declining reading habit is the major concern for the society. We should avoid creating new institutions and try to develop the existing libraries. Street corner libraries, networking, reference as well as referral services, digitization of relevant materials are important for library development. He also said that a Mission should not be a permanent body. It can be converted to an autonomous organisation later. He expressed his concern regarding public private partnership, observing that private agencies may be encouraged to investin libraries as a part of their corporate social responsibility programme. The content development is a critical area. In order to implement the recommendations it would be necessary to create brief, clear and specific business like proposals.
The Chairman summarized the view points presented by the members. He laid emphasis on using existing resources like school libraries to achieve reach and penetration, and on organizing and presenting existing digital content. He said that the NML would work as an advisory body, and stressed the importance of establishing a Task Force, anchored within the Ministry of Culture, which will be responsible for implementation of the projects of the Mission. The task force should engage consultants for its work. The Chairman also emphasized that the Task Force should be headed by a Joint Secretary level officer. He agreed with the suggestion that Working Groups may be set up, using external expertise, wherever necessary, to prepare an implementation plan. The advisory body or the Mission can meet as often as needed to endorse the plans and programmes prepared by the Working Groups.

If you give your child the book of their interests, there will be no such thing as a child disliking reading. If you have tried all the hacks to make sure they at least glance at the book but somehow weren't fruitful. We got you covered with a well-curated list of best books for a kid. All these pieces are timeless classics; let's dig in!
One of the best books for kid, penned by Eric Carle! This story flows along the life of a caterpillar. This much-adored book is a must-read for toddlers and preschoolers. It depicts the life cycle of a caterpillar and how it blossoms into a beautiful butterfly. Not only is this classic an eye feast with colourful denotations, but it also helps children comprehend and grasp the notions of days in a week and types of food. It gives them an insight into healthy food from a fresh and excitingly painted perspective. The ultimate delight for the reader, however, has to be putting fingers through the holes the caterpillar left munching.
The seven-part Harry Potter series is not just any other fictional story but a legacy that will live in our hearts forever. J.K.Rowling wrote this series, and her writing gives the same adrenaline rush no matter how many times you read it. The Wizardry and Witchcraft instil curiosity and keep the reader hooked. This will be an exhilarating read if a student loves magic and fiction.
Written by Maurice Sendak, this book is an ultimate delight for kids and children. If your children love wild creatures and all things spooky, they will surely enjoy reading this piece. The story begins with the Protagonist, John Max, beautifully dressed in his wolf outfit. He gets lost in a different dimension and has to encounter several wild creatures. Every flip is a new beginning, and exciting elements embedded in the writing just add up to the reader's experience.
Written by the British author Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a rollercoaster of emotions. The protagonist, Charlie, goes through several ups and downs in life, coming from a poor background. The story revolves around the mysterious Chocolate Chocolate Factory and the lifestyle of Charlie. It is amusing, funny, heart-warming, and one of the best books for kid. The tone of the writer is clear and easy to comprehend for kids.
Undeniably a classic and a coming-of-age novel by Louisa May Alcott! Little women is the perfect blend of genres. It has adventure, hints of family drama, romance, love, and not to forget the distinct and marvellous female characters. The plot revolves around the journey of four sisters from an early age to womanhood. It intriguingly captures the feminine nuances of the Civil War Era. This 19th-century American Classic with bang-on suspense and excellent character development is a treat for the readers.
Keep the above mentioned list of best books for kid in mind. From learning how to read efficiently to improving cognitive abilities in students, the benefits of reading in early age are innumerable. It helps them concentrate, instils creativity, and widens the horizon of gaining knowledge. Schools play a crucial role in incorporating a long love for reading. At Rainbow group of schools, we ensure our students read and attain perspectives apart from their academics.

MISTS OF COUNTY CLARE
How can you miss what you have yet to know...
How can you long for the fields of green
or the mists that spray upon the Cliffs of Moher..
Do you long for the majesty of the River Shannon
that wends it's way to the might
and sometimes fury, of the North Atlantic?
Not even the years of famine that wrenched at the very heart of Clare
could break the bonds that tie the people to the land.
So many left in wooden ships to build a life anew
knowing not what lay ahead
but longing for all they left behind.
From these broken hearts, came determination..
and courage and persistence.
The Irish spirit survived, as did the very essence of Clare
and back they came - to the land of their forefathers
to revitalise and build again.
The heart of Clare remains within the heart of all who long for her
those who returned, those who visit to walk the paths of their ancestors
those who cry out to know from whence they came.
As the mists of Clare roll over the Burren
so do the heart connections waft through the mists of time.

Last month we celebrated our son’s engagement at a brewery in the Alger Heights neighborhood of Grand Rapids. Under the laughter and my lavender-infused cocktail I noticed a flier with the weekend specials. One side featured a beautiful poem that captures the essence of hope. This event occurred the same weekend that we had the special privilege of watching the baby birds which we had observed on our deck over the summer from egg to maturity, fly away from the nest.
A brood of Eastern Phoebe was raised high up in the corner of our deck. We watched over the course of a month as these brown-and-white songbirds outgrew the nest.
Songs for the People
- Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
Let me make the songs for the people,
Songs for the old and young;
Songs to stir like a battle-cry
Wherever they are sung.
Not for the clashing of sabres,
For carnage nor for strife;
But songs to thrill the hearts of men
With more abundant life.
Let me make the songs for the weary,
Amid life’s fever and fret,
Till hearts shall relax their tension,
And careworn brows forget.
Let me sing for little children,
Before their footsteps stray,
Sweet anthems of love and duty,
To float o’er life’s highway.
I would sing for the poor and aged,
When shadows dim their sight;
Of the bright and restful mansions,
Where there shall be no night.
Our world, so worn and weary,
Needs music, pure and strong,
To hush the jangle and discords
Of sorrow, pain, and wrong.
Music to soothe all its sorrow,
Till war and crime shall cease;
And the hearts of men grown tender
Girdle the world with peace.
A prolific writer, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper published many collections of poetry. Born in Baltimore in 1825, the only child of free African American parents, she was orphaned at age three and raised by her uncle. She grew to become a respected teacher, journalist and activist.
As a young woman, she embarked on a career as a traveling speaker on the abolitionist circuit. She helped slaves escape through the Underground Railroad and wrote frequently for anti-slavery newspapers, earning her a reputation as the mother of African American journalism.

I was not familiar with her until finding Songs for the People at our Brass Ring Brewing table. Subsequently, I found Watkins Harper's works on slavery very moving. When I read Bible Defense of Slavery, The Slave Auction and The Slave Mother I can’t help but mentally substitute Abortion into each of those titles, seeing the unborn children targeted for abortion as the subject.
From the Library of Congress, Sacred Land Regained: Frances Ellen Watkins Harper and The Massachusetts Fifty-Fourth A Lost Poem by Donald Yacovone of The Massachusetts Historical Society:
“Her poetry [also] appeared in the antislavery press and was sung as hymns at abolitionist meetings and conventions. The following antislavery hymn, Freedom's Battle, a-version of Be Active (1856), has never been reprinted and is not discussed in the growing body of Harper scholarship. The poem's strength rests on its appeal to conscience and the Christian imagery that would have spoken with equal force to blacks and whites.
Onward, ye Sons of Freedom In the great and glorious strife; You’ve a high and holy mission
On the battle-fields of life.
See Oppression's heel of iron Grinds a brother to the ground, And from bleeding heart and bosom Gapeth many a fearful wound.
On my blighted people's bosom Mountain loads of sorrow lay; Stop not, then, to ask the question, Who shall roll the stone away?
O be faithful, 0 be valiant, Trusting not in human might, Know that in the darkest conflict God is on the side of right.”
Room to smite the earth with cursing, Room to scatter, rend and slay, From the trembling mother’s bosom Room to tear her child away; - Lines by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
The nest, early summer (left) and late summer.
On Friday we moved our youngest child into her college dorm. It was a beautiful day full of energy and anticipation. Before arriving, her father and I both had our moments, overwhelmed by emotion as this day had finally arrived.
Six days before she embarked on this new adventure, Bella made a public profession of her Christian faith at the congregation where she and her siblings attended. It was such a joy to see her and two young men from her congregation be baptized.
What a beautiful beginning to a wonderful week! Bella, we’re so grateful for your decision to commit your life to the LORD and be immersed in front of your local body of Messiah (full service below).
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? As the Scriptures say, ‘For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.’ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:31-39
We love to spend as much time as we can outside. Here are some favorite photographs I took in the past month of God's awesome creation. When I think of the beauty and complexity of the universe and everything it it, I am reminded of the apostle Paul's words to the Athenians in the first century:
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
“Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. - Romans 1:20
WHAT IS THE JOHN 10:10 PROJECT?
Contrary to wishful thinking, the Christian life isn’t a free pass to Disneyland. In reality, it can often seem more like a minefield laced with fear, disappointment, anxiety and doubt. Yet, in John 10:10 Jesus promised anyone who follows him the opportunity to know an “abundant” (i.e. blessed, satisfying, meaningful) life.
Now, he didn’t say this abundant life would be circumstantially easy (check out the apostles in the book of Acts: tortured, imprisoned, crucified). But Jesus did offer us genuine hope, joy, purpose and inner peace that surpasses all understanding – even when our roof leaks like a sieve or one of our friends battles cancer.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. - John 10:10
So, how do we experience this abundant life when everyday life is often so difficult? Many ideas have been proposed and the best seem to share a similar conclusion: the better we know Jesus, the more we’ll trust him. Trust leads to faith, and faith leads to a life empowered and enriched by the Holy Spirit. The films that comprise THE JOHN 10:10 PROJECT were produced to help nurture a deeper understanding of God. Each 4-10 minute video explores a facet of the Lord’s character, promises and power. Think of them as small stepping stones on your pathway to a more abundant Christian life. Each film in this collection is structured for use in personal devotions, Bible studies, outreach and corporate worship.

Michael Yardley said it best:
"Nothing in shooting is written in stone; ultimately, what is right is what works for you."
Of course, we all have to start somewhere, so a great many books have been written with the intent of telling the novice how to shoot. Michael's book (from Safari Press) is one of the best of them. It is full of excellent advice and practical tips, and should be in every clay target shooter's library.
However - before you go too far down the path of obtaining advice, be it books or coaching - Bill strongly urges you to locate a copy of
The Shotgun Book
by Jack O'Conner
which was published years ago (1965) by Knopf. Your public library may have it, and used copies can often be found on eBay. The 22nd chapter (titled "The Elements of Shotgun Shooting") is what you want to read. Once you have done so, follow up on this solid base by reading chapters 23 ("To Lead or Not to Lead") and 24 ("It's The Angles") as well. The truths contained in these 30-odd pages will help you to pick out the wheat from the chaff as you navigate a field of literature heavily laden with "bum dope".
Now, here's another small tip from Bill, which has nothing to do with books: powerful forearms are an asset to the shot gunner. If your upper body strength is lacking, do start regular exercise - a few push ups each morning when you wake, followed by several arm curls with a light dumbbell (say 15 pounds) may work wonders.

On February 8th, 1882, Wilde lectured in Buffalo, NY. It was his twelfth lecture of the tour overall, but his seventh in nine days and he was beginning to weary of the travel.
"But I’m dreadfully tired...it isn’t the lecturing. I delight in giving my lectures when I find there is interest in them, but it’s the long distances. The traveling has nearly used me up. I haven’t been used to it you know. At home I’d get up in the morning, have breakfast, do some writing, and then maybe start off for Egypt or some other distant ? (this word could be port, part or past), but take my time about it all."
Fortunately for Wilde the Buffalo lecture was a rare matinee, and there was time for him to take a much needed break with a visit to Niagara Falls. So he 'courteously' declined social invitations for the evening, and boarded the 6:10 PM train over the Central Railroad to Niagara Falls, some twenty miles to the north of Buffalo.
Today there are twin cities of Niagara Falls.
One is in the state of New York, but it had not yet been incorporated at the time of Wilde's visit .
The other is in Ontario on the Canadian side . This is the one Wilde visited and he put up at Prospect House  pictured opposite in 1880.
Since Wilde's arrival in New York for his tour of America, much had been made in the press of his remark that he was disappointed in the Atlantic Ocean. Now at Niagara Falls, Wilde was confronted by another majestic embodiment of the natural world, and was again moved to apparent meiosis.
"When I first saw Niagara falls I was disappointed in the outline. The design, it seemed to me, was wanting in grandeur and variety of line, but the colors were beautiful."
* Verses from British satirical periodical Fun.

Again, the press seized upon the remark:
Wilde later said that there is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about. In this vein he continued an avant garde penchant for capitalizing on his own notoriety, presumably favoring fame over obscurity in spite of the ridicule. Opposite are examples of his continued references to the disappointments of Niagara Falls, and in this interview, on a return visit to America in 1883, Wilde remarks on fame and obscurity, and he provides an update on the Atlantic's monotony.
 Buffalo Express, February 9th, 1882.
 The City of Niagara Falls, NY was incorporated on March 17, 1892 from the villages of Manchester and Suspension Bridge, which were parts of the Town of Niagara in the southwest corner of the county, a settlement originally founded in 1812 as the "Town of Schlosser".
 In 1882 the city of Niagara Falls, ON had only recently adopted that name. In 1856, the town of Clifton was incorporated and changed its name to Niagara Falls in 1881. In 1882, the community of Drummondville (located near the present day corner of Lundy's Lane and Main Street) incorporated itself as the village of Niagara Falls. Thus there were two municipalities named Niagara Falls at the time (with the village being referred to as Niagara Falls South to differentiate it from the town). In 1904, the town and village finally amalgamated to form the City of Niagara Falls. (Wikipedia)
 There were other hotels known as Prospect House in the area before and after this one, the name presumably popular because of the view afforded of the Falls from the now collapsed plateau of Table Rock.
 Buffalo Express, February 10th, 1882.
Prospect House, Niagara Falls, ON (1880)
Wilde wrote in the hotel album:
"The roar of these waters is like the roar when the mighty wave of democracy breaks against the shores where kings lie couched at ease."

Fun With Reading: Third Grade Fiction
In the words of Mark Twain: “The man who doesn’t read is no better off than the man who can’t read.” The same is true of kids. Today, many kids are so plugged-in and over-scheduled, they make little time to simply kick back and lose themselves in a good book. But there’s good news, too: third grade is a key time to hook a reader for life.
Parents can help kids work on their reading (https://www.education.com/resources/ela/reading/ ) while keeping things fun, with this activity that turns a pile of books into a game of prediction. Plus, this is a fantastic way to begin exploring the local library with your child!
What You Need:
a stack of index cards
your local library
What You Do:
Go to the library, choose three books your child has never read, and borrow them. These should be fiction, not non-fiction.
Using the markers, write the numbers 0-10, one per index card. (These are your Prediction Challenge cards.) Put 10 empty cards from the rest of the stack on the table and place the pen beside them.
Invite your child to play a game. The object? You’ll choose a number from 1-10 and give her a “Prediction Challenge” card. Then, let her choose one of the books you’ve checked out of the library. She must try to guess what happens in the story without reading the full book. Here’s how it works: your child reads the first chapter (or several chapters, but not more than half of the total number of pages), then writes ten predictions as to what may happen in the story– one on each index card. Once she’s finished writing up her predictions, you’ll read the rest of the book together and see how many come to fruition. If she meets or exceeds the challenge number, she wins!
The more your reluctant reader reads, the more she’ll enjoy it. And the more fun you make it, the more tempting reading will be. So add some game to the equation. Making predictions about what comes next in a story is a major component of the third grade reading curriculum. Plus, when your child reads often, she’ll read better, and she’ll meet those state reading standards lickety-split!

When the Dead Talk Back is the story of a man who is haunted by the dead, whom he believes talk to him. Paul Jude Walker is a father, husband, and author who spent his entire adult life trying to understand the voices that contact him. Is he crazy? Is he psychic? Can the dead communicate with the living? Paul, along with his best friend Tony, spent 10 years of his life trying to understand the voices in his head. This film is the result of that exhaustive research.
Is there a scientific reason he hears these voices? Is there an answer in New Age philosophy? Perhaps he is simply crazy. This film explores the nature of the 'gift' that ultimately becomes his curse, as this experimental journey into the darkest aspects of humanity exposes the truth behind the nature of paranormal phenomena. Beginning with a single startling experience with a ghost in his teenage years, Paul spends his entire journey in this film trying to understand why these voices speak to him. Along with his wife and family he slowly loses his grip on his notion of self, and on reality, as he tries to define the nature of his own consciousness through the prism of making a film about his ghosts, and the ghosts that plague us all. A film about a film about a man trying to find himself, When the Dead Talk Back is a haunting journey you won't soon forget.

Book by Charlotte Mildon
In the Maori culture, the spiritual wisdom keepers have had to remain secretive for many generations, due to government legislation and the oppression of religion. Now, in this fascinating short book, Charlotte Mildon explores the prophecy of the divine feminine, sharing some of the experiential learning that has enabled her to access the source of Maori healing.
Dr Arikirangi Turuki Rangimarie Rose Pere, Te Tohuna Kura Waka, is one of the most influential and well-respected leaders in Maori culture. She is an internationally acclaimed educator and priestess of the highest order, who unfolds the spiritual powers of being one with the tangible and intangible phenomena in the universe.
Dr Pere shares how it is the responsibility of the Tohuna to sow the seeds of wisdom so that people may remember who they really are, as a spirit first having a physical experience on earth. As a Tohuna Kura Waka, Dr Pere plays a vital role in the return of the divine feminine with a focus on the transmission of ancient knowledge to future generations.


And Then I Am Gone: A Walk with Thoreau tells the story of a New York City man who becomes an Alabama man. Despite his radical migration to simpler living and a late-life marriage to a saint of sorts, his persistent pet anxieties and unanswerable questions follow him. Mathias Freese wants his retreat from the societal “it” to be a brave safari for the self rather than cowardly avoidance, so who better to guide him but Henry David Thoreau, the self-aware philosopher who retreated to Walden Pond “to live deliberately” and cease “the hurry and waste of life”? In this memoir, Freese wishes to share how and why he came to Harvest, Alabama (both literally and figuratively), to impart his existential impressions and concerns, and to leave his mark before he is gone.
About the Author
Mathias B. Freese is a writer, teacher, and psychotherapist who has authored six books. His I Truly Lament: Working Through the Holocaust won the Beverly Hills Book Awards and the Reader’s Favorite Book Award, and it was a finalist in the Indie Excellence Book Awards, the Paris Book Festival, and the Amsterdam Book Festival. In 2016 Tesserae: A Memoir of Two Summers, his first memoir, received seven awards.

Are they two really different memoirs? I think the same characterological themes surface in both. [Amazing Grace: I was lost and now I am found, was blind and now I see.] In the first memoir I wander, lost, and in the second because of age and reflection and the awakening of intelligence, now I see. The tone of one is scaling personal heights, often desperately, while young and foolish, and the last memoir is the arrival of old age with the wise understanding it was the struggle, Sisyphus at that, that really counted. Read both as complementary bookends. Both books engage in interior self-dialoging; in one I fabricate therapy sessions to distil the disturbances in my life; in the other, I engage Thoreau, who never says a word, to self-engage myself at 77. Some of us wear a cross around our necks, others wear a star of David. I choose to wear a question mark. For me, a memoir is a living written expression of who we are and much more entertaining than a stone in a bleak cemetery.

Most of our knowledgeable history seems to be comprised within the astrological era known as the Age of Pisces. Pisces is the most mystical of all astrological signs, which is also the last of the twelve (12) signs carrying elements of each sign. Pisces is also one of the more emotional signs, where although they may not externally express as such, they often may have an internal calamity going on. Nonetheless, as the term mystical implies, this was the era of mystery. Like all mystery stories, we go through a build up in anticipation for the climactic end. Like all "good" mystery stories, we expect the climactic end to disclose all that was left a mystery. We expect the dissolution of ignorance.
Throughout the Age of Pisces and it's predecessor Age of Aries, religion/spirituality seems to have carried a dual aspect. Such is expressed as the teachings provided to the masses, the "exoteric", as well as the teachings kept of the hidden few, the "esoteric". In most traditions, the language of the official religious/biblical text was preserved in a particular language to keep the uneducated masses from actually discerning the script for themselves.
It is also my understanding that the time of Moses may be considered the end of the Age of Aries and the beginning of the Age of Pisces. As Moses first climbed Mt. Sinai, he was provided with particular knowledge from his deity, which some claim to have been the Qabalah. When he initially returned to his people, he noticed that they were still worshiping the Ram (most sources say Golden Calf). The Ram being the symbol of Aries, Moses believed his people were not ready for the obtained information, where he returned to Mt. Sinai after shattering the tablets of information. In other words, while Moses was attempting to usher in a new age, the people were still clinging to the old. Hence, Moses returned again to his people with strict laws dictating obedience as opposed to mystical insight, where he chose to divulge the hidden information only to a chosen few. (I don't remember the source of this information).
The Age of Pisces may be best represented by the Christ figure, whose religious emblem was that of the fish, a symbol for Pisces. The Age of Pisces being mystical, this was a time of the mystics who held the esoteric knowledge and would divulge such information. Nonetheless, this was also a time where the the extensive libraries, including Alexandria, including those scriptures preserved in Tibet, and the 53 mile long shelving of the Vatican/Secret Archive library, where kept in secrecy from the public purview. Now with the idea of mystery in mind, one has to ask why an organization like the Catholic Church, a religion which keeps its followers within the four corners of ONE book (similar to "parole evidence" in practicing law), would hold such an extensive library? In addition, the mystics which brought the most enlightening information to the masses were quickly opposed by those in political/religious power, with Jesus and Siddharta Guatama coming to mind. Hence, the Age of Pisces was the age of a few Mystics who would dispel the Mystery. In the East, we called these individuals "Gurus", with "Gu" meaning "ignorance" and "Ru" meanding destroyer, the "destroyer of ignorance". Hence, this was an age where we had to sort through the Mystery to discover Truth.
As many new agers are propounding, we are either at the cusp of or within the Age of Aquarius with Aquarius representing freedom. This is the age where we are to do away with Gurus, where knowledge seems to be freely accessible. This seems to becoming more and more evident with the advent of the internet ushering in the "age of information" as well as social media quickly dispelling the elite owned corporate media. With the axiom "as within, so without" and vice-versa, if we are dispelling ignorance externally, then there is most likely an equivalent inner illumination going on as well. Therefore, I seem to define the Age of Aquarius as not necessarily getting rid of the Gurus/Teachers, but minimizing the need for such where the dissolution of ignorance, externally as well as internally regarding the more subtle realms, creates a different environment. An environment where we are done pursuing our Truth and moving in a direction of living it. We are bridging Heaven on Earth. It's the illumination/dissolution of ignorance and living our Truth.
Overly educated and continuously exploring and revealing more behind the veil.
"It cannot be too highly emphasized that the mystic swims in the same waters in which the psychotic drowns."

Can we take a Shelfie?!
So you have some shelves, now what to do with them? Bookshelves, built-in shelves, china cabinets, floating shelves...there are so many opportunities within your home, no matter how grand or quaint, to style a great shelfie! The curating of a great shelf can help bring together a room and showcase the personality of not only the home but those that dwell within it. It can be a bit of a challenge to find the perfect balance of accessories to adorn those empty shelves, but I'm here to share that you will find most of what you need already in your home. Many of the items already in your space are things you have collected over the years right? They are a reflection of you, so why not put them on display and flatter them so?! - XO Meeshie
Not sure where to start? Not a problem, here are some tips to get you going. Books, vessels, picture frames, and plants make a great shelfie starter kit!
I like to remember three rules when tackling those empty rows of space -
Stack Up - Books stacked in 3's or maybe just one if it's a large coffee table book, topped with a pretty bowl or accessory.
Line Up - Books lined up like magical library shelves. I also love inserting odd objects between the books to add interest to the line up. For example, a weird foot sculpture, a piggy bank...have fun with it.
Zigzag - Start from the top on one side and work your way down in a zigzag pattern stacking books, topping with unique bowls or objects that add texture and interest, lining up books, inserting a plant here and there, maybe a picture frame etc.
Take a step back - Many a times as designers we style a shelf, rearrange it, style it again, rearrange it again, and again...and again. When things aren't feeling quite right, is always good to step away and come back to it. You just need to see if from a different perspective. The next time you feel yourself going down the rabbit hole, take your phone out and take a picture of it. Seeing it through different view can help point out the flaws, if any, or shine open up your eyes to what you were missing.
Repurpose - Give life to old items! Old picture frame...repaint it, stick a sweet photo in it and put it up. Pretty vase up in your cabinet you never use or is chipped, fill it with water and put some pretty plants or flowers in it. Weird but cool tchotchkes you inherited from grandma? Those are fair game too! There is no limit to how creative you can get.
The goal at the end of the day is to create balance and composition. There are no rules as to what goes...have a cool mask from mardi gras, a beautiful tea kettle you found at a thrift shop, an old decanter turned vase? You name it, doesn't matter! Have fun with what you're putting together...the more unique, the better!
Shop the look!

LIBRARY CUM READING ROOM
A BRIEF REPORT
To provide opportunities and facilities to education thirsty and seekers of knowledge the Alhikmah Foundation, since its inception established a library with a reading room facility under a caption name of Alhikmah Education Point.
Starting with a meager number of 15 regular readership, the membership has now reached to a staggering figure of around 400 plus readership which annually cross to around 5000 figure.
Out of these members about 60 percent of them consist of school going students from 8th to 12th standard of different schools. The rest, regular members belong to college going students pursuing the studies in engineering and professional courses as well as those preparing for different competitive exams. Even the research scholars engaged in research work numbering around 10 are also a regular visitor of the library and avail the facilities available both in terms of a large number of books on different subjects and a variety of news papers, magazines and journals as well as a quite and peaceful reading atmosphere of its well furnished reading room facility, A handful of general readers of different interests also visit the library regularly.
The reading room facilities attached with the library is a boon for different categories of students coming from far off areas of UP, Bihar and other parts of country for pursuing higher studies, living in a dingy room of rented houses having no peaceful reading atmosphere. They avail this reading room facility of the library, come with books of their courses of study supplemented with the books, magazines etc. available in the library and enjoy reading in a peaceful and congenial atmosphere.
The library and reading room facility are availed of by the students residing in various colonies of Jamia Nagar, Taimur Nagar, Maharani Bagh and neighboring areas.
Presently the library has a stock of more than 4 thousand books on different subjects.
Initially the library was started with active and financial supports of the member of the Foundation in the form of membership fee and special donations for the purpose and meeting its monthly expenditure of around Rs. 10,000 to 15,000.
However for the last 2 years the Government of NCT of Delhi has recognized it as Public Library and has been granting a sum of Rupee 40,000 per year to meet the expenditure on books and magazines etc. The library is still running in a private rented building at Jogabai, Zakir Nagar, New Delhi.
COACHING CENTRE & GUIDANCECoaching B. Ed., Basic, ETE
For the last more than 10 years the Foundation at its Education Point haslib20153l
also been organizing Coaching for the candidates appearing in the entrance examination of B. Ed., Basic and ETE. Around 60 to 70 students desirous to appear in the entrance test of B.

In the field of academic writing, study paper has the same importance as that of a thesis, except it is much more detailed and needs extensive research on the subject issue. A research paper is similar to a documentary or a essay in which the author provides a detailed explanation and substantiation of the subject he’s writing about. Typically, a research paper is required before a person may gain admittance to any graduate faculty of his/her option. It is also demanded by some universities and some colleges for clearing a particular course. But not everyone has the opportunity to compose a research paper and so pupils who wish to make a diploma must rely on several different resources on the Internet.
When a student finds an essay question or topic that interests him, he can search for the Internet so as to find advice on the subject and proceed in composing his research paper. The first step that is taken from the procedure is looking on the subject of interest. Then comes the compilation of the information gathered from different sources. Next comes the test of the data. Lastly, the conclusion and recommendations have been evolution writers reviews added to the study paper.
Before writing a research papers, there are certain guidelines that have to be followed. First and foremost, the student needs to have a clear idea about what research is all about. This means that he/she ought to have a very clear idea about exactly what research is all about. Then the student should study on the Internet for any reference material that will be necessary in writing the research paper. If the pupil has an older version of this class textbook, then the writer’s resource box may be useful to him. He might take advantage of the box to source out extra info.
The Internet also provides many forums, blogs, and discussion boards which would be of great assistance in gaining research details. The forums and blogs offer thoughts and ideas that assist with researching topics. The discussion boards provide a venue for interaction among the researchers. It’s a good source of information if the pupil can post his/her question or feedback on the topic.
The Internet is also beneficial in finding out review sites that provide advice on both the research papers and dissertations. A student may also go through university brochures to gather basic information on research documents. The library is an additional useful location where one could find information on research papers. One may get access to research manuals and reference books.
Last, the social websites would be a very valuable tool in getting research documents. Most colleges and universities have websites that provide advice on research papers. This assists in deriving the needed information. Thus, it’s advised that a student should be very much involved with the research oriented learning that goes with research papers.

Rajasthan Assembly Election Result: Rajasthan Assembly Election Result BJP Achieved Significant Victory.
Rajasthan Lal Diary pages Revelation Played Important Role In Congress Defeat In Assembly Election.
Jaipur, 03 November(City Times): Rajasthan Lal Diary pages Revelation: In the ongoing counting of votes for the Rajasthan Assembly Election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has achieved a significant victory, crossing the majority mark of 100 seats out of the 200-seat assembly. The saffron wave has swept across Rajasthan, marking a substantial political shift in the state.
The Role of Lal Diary in BJP’s Victory
Amidst the unfolding victory of the BJP, the infamous ‘Lal Diary’ has once again emerged in the political discourse of Rajasthan. The red diary, whose pages were previously brought to light by Udaipurwati MLA Rajendra Gudha, has played a notable role in exposing alleged wrongdoings within the Congress government led by Ashok Gehlot.
The Pre-Election Unveiling of Lal Diary In Rajasthan
Before the Rajasthan elections, Rajendra Gudha, who had been dismissed from the cabinet of the Ashok Gehlot government, stirred up controversy by publicly revealing four pages of the alleged ‘Lal Diary.’ Gudha claimed that the diary contained details of ‘illegal transactions’ involving Gehlot and other leaders, sparking a heated political debate.
Contents of the Lal Diary
According to Gudha, the ‘Lal Diary’ contains accounts of transactions by MLAs, details about the BJP helicopter going empty, reasons behind BJP MLAs leaving their party’s barricades, and accounts related to the Rajasthan Cricket Association elections. The diary also delves into the controversial mining issue involving GR Khatana, a matter vehemently denied by Kunjilal Meena and Gaurav Goyal.
Origins and Controversy Surrounding Lal Diary
Gudha claimed that the ‘Lal Diary’ originated during an income tax raid at the house of Dharmendra Rathod, close to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. During the political upheaval caused by Sachin Pilot’s rebellion, the diary allegedly detailed ‘illegal transactions’ involving high-profile individuals. The narrative suggests an attempt to shield the diaries from an income tax raid and the subsequent dramatic events involving police, Karni Sena workers, and a balcony escape with the diaries.
5 points Related To Lal Diary
- Lal Diary Allegations: The Lal Diary, a source of political controversy in Rajasthan, contains allegations of illegal transactions involving Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and other leaders.
- Sachin Pilot’s Role: Pages from the diary suggest that Gehlot allegedly orchestrated a plan to monitor and record Sachin Pilot’s activities during the time of his rebellion against the Congress.
- Government Toppling Conspiracy: The diary reveals claims of a conspiracy to topple the state government, mentioning a flat in Gurgaon and Danish Abrar’s farm house in Mehrauli as locations under scrutiny.
- Additional Names Mentioned: Besides political figures, the diary allegedly mentions names of an advisor to CM Gehlot, an independent candidate, the head of a renowned company, the CEO of a media channel, and a woman journalist.
- Impact on Elections: The Lal Diary has resurfaced just before the Rajasthan Assembly Elections, creating a fresh stir in the political landscape and potentially influencing voters’ perceptions of the Gehlot government.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Response and Denials on Lal Diary
Despite the sensational claims made by Gudha and the emergence of new pages from the ‘Lal Diary,’ Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has consistently denied the allegations. Gehlot dismissed the accusations as false and attributed the ‘Lal Diary’ controversy to a conspiracy orchestrated by BJP leaders and a former Rajasthan minister.
Latest Revelations from Lal Diary
As the election dust settles, new pages from the ‘Lal Diary’ have resurfaced, bringing fresh revelations. The latest claims suggest that Gehlot orchestrated reconnaissance for Sachin Pilot to go to Delhi and orchestrated a plan to record Pilot’s activities in a flat in Gurgaon and at Danish Abrar’s farmhouse in Mehrauli.
Lal Diary Political Impact and Ongoing Developments
The rekindling of the ‘Lal Diary’ controversy has injected a new dimension into the post-election political scenario. The BJP’s victory, coupled with the lingering allegations from the diary, raises questions about the political landscape in Rajasthan and the challenges that lie ahead for the Congress party.
Story of the Lal Diary continues In Rajasthan
The saga of the ‘Lal Diary’ continues to unfold, adding layers of complexity to the political narrative in Rajasthan. As the BJP celebrates its triumph in the Assembly Election, the impact of the diary’s revelations on governance and public perception remains a subject of keen observation.

A Series of Unfortunate Events season 2 came out at the beginning of April on Netflix. After a successful first season which made us familiar with Baudelaire orphans and their dreadful life where they are tormented by the evil Count Olaf to get his hands on their enormous fortune. The first season had the mix of humor and sorrow where you laughed at the funny getups dawned by Neil Patrick Harris, but deep down you felt sorry for kids who had to suffer this much. By the end of the season, children are put under the guardianship of Prufrock school after the death of several of their guardians by the hands of Count Olaf. The season 1 was full of mystery and adventure where it kept us on the edge of our seats anticipating the answers to various questions. After the successful season 1, the hopes from season 2 were high, and we were anxious to find out what life has in store for Baudelaire orphans.
What A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 2 beholds?
The story picks up right from the point where last season ended. Mr. Poe drops the children under the guardianship of Prufrock school and for once you are hopeful that life wouldn’t be that difficult for Baudelaire’s as they try to make a new home in already desolated school. The two-episode part of school perfectly highlights the broken education system where kids are forced to cram things, and there is no scope of self-growth. The condition is so bad that even the library in the school is open only for 10 minutes hence stopping the children from learning from the best source of knowledge that is, books.
The only positive sign for the Baudelaire kids is that they find friends in Quagmire’s who are also orphans. Soon, we find out these kids have a lot in common as their parents worked together in the secret organization. Everything takes a sharp turn when Count Olaf appears again now as a gym teacher. Then we witness unfortunate events and how Baudelaire’s again tackle them, but now with the help of Quagmires. At the end of second episode Quagmire’s are kidnapped by Count Olaf, and Baudelaire’s begin the search for their friends.
In season 1 we saw Baudelaire kids put under the guardianship of different people, however, in this season each of the guardian represents the various type of people in the society. The Squalors represent the wealthy section of the community who are too materialistic and can go to any limits to stay in the limelight. While living with Squalors they unearth details regarding the secret organization for which their parents worked and the term VFD will lead them to solve this mystery.
Once again after escaping the shackles of Count Olaf now disguised as Foreigner Gunther, the Baudelaire kids move to VFD aka Village of Fowl Devotees. The village showcases the culture which doesn’t let society develop by enforcing stupid rules. Nathan Fillion portrays the significant role of Jacques Snicket which adds humor and much-needed flavor to the story. After surviving and saving Quagmires from Count Olaf, the kids find themselves hiding in the Heimlich Hospital. The hospital known for keeping records reveals a twist in the story that turns around things for both kids and Count Olaf.
At last Baudelaire reach the carnival which rightly depicts how people with extraordinary capabilities are treated as freaks in the society. The second season ends on a cliffhanger, and bold decisions of creators to kill main characters make the series more uncertain, hence fueling the anxiousness in you.
What makes A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 2 Worth Watch?
The series is able to maintain the mystery around the main plot which keeps you on the edge of your seats. The season 1 introduced us to a big puzzle, and in season 2 all the pieces in the complex puzzle start falling in the correct places. The crisp and detailed narration by Patrick Warburton brightens up the whole screen, and you enjoy his dialogues in between the episode. However, Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf remains the highlight of the series who is humorous and at times doesn’t shy away from taking bold decisions. The actors playing the role of Baudelaire kids are a delight to watch, and Sunny Baudelaire steals your heart right away. Other actors namely Lucy Punch, Nathan Fillion, Patrick Breen, Sara Rue and Sara Canning keep you utterly vested in the plot.
The series of unfortunate events season 2 has several plus points over the season 1 as each episode is able to depict the various sections of the community beautifully. The series is not only a pure entertainer as it is based on the kid’s book it shows the importance of friendship, books and never give up attitude in life no matter how terrible the situation gets. Lemony Snicket’s books are no Harry Potter books which are filled with magic, according to me the books are more realistic and teach you a whole lot.
What makes A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 2 blahh?
The pacing inevitably dips in the middle of the series and things may seem repetitive after some time. As kids, again and again, go through the same cycle. Other than this everything sits perfectly in the comic drama filled with twist and turns.
