The author style is awesome too with a very high sense of humor which helps a lot to deliver serious messages. What I did not like, and what prevented me from giving four stars, is the use of many bible verses and the shift of context after its chapter to Christianity! The book is good, so why to transform it to a Christian book?! BTW, I am Christian, so I have no negative feelings toward Bible verses or Christianity in general; but the mix between the very valuable points of the book and Christianity is not needed, and sometimes it is fabricated link.
Other than this, the book is awesome and I did enjoy it. It's worth reading. Are you a married man? Do you think you suck at being a good husband?
Well, the good news is that you have plenty of company! Doug Fields has a short book pages that is chocked full of practical advice to help any guy improve his status with his wife. What I appreciated about the book is that - unlike many Christian help books - it's not done in a lecturing tone or with a condescending "I've arrived" attitude. Fields comes from the attitude of "I'm the chief among sinners" and his advice is Are you a married man? Fields comes from the attitude of "I'm the chief among sinners" and his advice is just as much for him as it is for other guys.
Because we're human - and guys! Most importantly, he gives guys the proper carrot to motivate us to improve The actions themselves are simple to remember - but difficult to carry out everyday. They are: 1.
7 Ways to Be Her Hero: The One Your Wife Has Been Waiting For
Don't say everything you think; 2. Say what is powerful; 3. Don't say anything listening ; 4. Go big with small things; 5. Be liberal with touch - but not THAT way; 6. Put your pride aside; 7. Shepherd your wife's heart. Fields' best advice comes at the end, when he says to take these steps one at a time and practice it and master it before trying another because trying them all at once is futile and you will fail. This book has the feel of being mentored by someone who has been there before and wants us to learn how to be a good husband.
Urvashi Rautela Calls THIS Person Her Hero, Shares Viral Picture of ‘Sweet Flower of Love’
The book is not lecturing; it's more of a friend to friend, Godly man conversations about sharpening our iron. I read this slowly so I could absorb and think about as much of this book as I could. It will probably be a reference that I will return to time and again. Mar 27, Josh rated it really liked it. Good Basic Marriage Book The author does a good job pitting this information on a shelf that all men can reach.
Its basic information, but sometimes it's the basic stuff we forget. Jun 22, Greg Webb rated it liked it Shelves: , christian , relationships. Wasn't crazy about the way Fields 'dumbed' this down to try and appeal to "guys" rather than men with his forcefully awkward potty humor not that I'm a prude, it just seemed misplaced and ill attempts at connecting through "guyisms". May 18, Robert rated it liked it. Quick read with practical, tested advice on how to have a healthy marriage. For better or worse, it really cracked the whip on husbands, but it's about how guys can improve so perhaps that's fair.
One of my favorite concepts was Fields' idea of One Heart in marriage. If, by God's design, my wife and I are one, then when I hurt my wife, I hurt myself too. On the other hand, when I build up her heart, I also build up myself. That's the powerful dynamic of onenes Quick read with practical, tested advice on how to have a healthy marriage.
That's the powerful dynamic of oneness In your marriage, you have One Heart, and when you wound your spouse, you wound yourself too. Jun 11, Greg rated it it was ok Shelves: family. I listened to this on a road trip today and it was ok. Many of the points Fields makes are ones I've heard often, but they are good reminders none-the-less!
I am inspired by men who seek to help and support other men to be better, and for that I hope I can do some things differently as a result of this book. Mar 05, Jennifer rated it it was ok. The best thing about this book is the title. Bought this one for my husband but of course I had to read it first. It was painfully wordy, and the "good stuff" could have easily been reduced to a pamphlet or blog post.
Where's my red pen? Oct 02, Trae Castles rated it really liked it. Simple steps, practical advice, comical writing, and stuff that guys should just know. Dec 28, Daniel Adams rated it really liked it. Very practical. It was humorous and light hearted while getting to the heart of the issue.

The lessons in this book are simple yet extremely effective. Gentlemen it is well worth a read. Aug 28, Andrew rated it it was amazing. This book is primary written towards men but women could still benefit from reading this book. Doug Fields opened up about his own personal failures and frustrations in loving his wife completely like Christ loves her.
- Keeping Mother, Baby and Child Safe from Toxic Chemicals.
- In der Ferne ein Feuer (German Edition)!
- Selections from the Journals (Dover Thrift Editions);
The first chapter, he looked into what is breaking and hurting our marriages. He also explored the meaning behind Ecclesiastes and this verse basically means Solomon was pursuing after everything he wanted to do and he realized, he was chasing things like the wind. And in the second chapter he revealed what scripture verses relate to marriage and how God is strongly for marriage. Part B of the seven chapters was designed to address if your wife had a big problem in that category.
I would recommend this life changing book to all men. This book is especially helpful to all of the husbands that are striving to become the best husband that they can be. Doug Fields did an excellent job in describing how men are born to chase after something and most of us have a problem with chasing after work too much. I liked how he stressed that it is important to work but we also must make time for our wife and kids. I appreciated that Doug Fields wrote in a way that men could connect with the content and it was very relatable.
May 30, Susan rated it it was amazing Shelves: blog-review , netgalley-review , book-cover-lured-me-in , self-help. I know. I am not a man. I admit my curiosity and I read it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised on both accounts. Fields is right on target and I walked away with a fun list of practices to improve my relationship. Skimming through will defeat the purpose. The principles and advice shared are relevant for men in any season of marriage or can be referenced for a genuine refresher.
My only critique is in regard to the formatting for e-reader devices. I use a Kindle Paperwhite and at times the formatting was choppy and broken, especially around chapter transitions, which I found slightly distracting. I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review. Aug 12, Tima rated it really liked it. It doesn't take very much for a man or woman to feel like they are in love.
CAP OFF YOUR LOOK
The key is finding ways to keep that love alive and make your wife feel like she is loved and cherished. The author speaks candidly from his experiences about ways that men can step up to the plate and be a hero to their wives. The book is not meant for women. It's written by a man for a man. The jokes are guy jokes, the presentation is all guy, and the way of looking at situations is from the male perspective.
I'll be It doesn't take very much for a man or woman to feel like they are in love. I'll be the first to admit, I'm a girl and I read this book. I wanted to see if it was something I could pass on to my husband. And ironically enough, the author talks about this being the case. Men don't buy books. Women buy books for their men to read. Well, I did just that. And I'm definitely going to pass this one on. I honestly didn't get some of the jokes or what the author considered humor.
But I read the book while my husband and I were on a road trip together. So I read large portions of the book aloud to hubby and he got it. So clearly I'm the wrong gender. But that aside, it's straight forward, practical, Christian advice for the husband. While there are jokes and stories to keep the book amusing, the subject matter is something every guy should read and apply.

Albums from Wu Wei and Miya Masaoka meld disparate accents by combining the instrumentation and musical forms of both worlds.
Over the past few decades, Asian composers with Asian roots, have melded Eastern and Western musical accents by combining the instrumentation and musical forms of both worlds. It is not always easy, given the different conceptions of intonation, rhythm and harmony that underlie each tradition, but it works mainly because of the erosion of rigidity on both sides. The yield, all told, has been an arresting repertory that represents neither tradition so much as individual composers’ omnivorous psyches, expressed through the use of a boundary-free toolbox and an expanded lexicon.
Two recent recordings, ‘Overtones — Harmonic Seasons’ (Harmonia Mundi) and Triangle of Resistance (Innova) touch on different corners of this deeply expressive hybrid style.
Mr. Wu and Mr. Want, who were born in China and live in Berlin and Paris, respectively, are both also instrumentalists: Mr. Wu is a master of the sheng, a Chinese mouth organ, and also plays the mandolin0like liuqin and the morin kluur, a Mongolian fiddle; Mr. Want contributes a Western twang on the jaw harp, the reedy sound of the hulusi as well as percussion.
The 13 imaginative tone poems here are full of surprising sounds, even for listeners familiar with Chinese music. Extended techniques, like those that Western players use to create fresh timbres on orchestral instruments, make parts of the sweetly melancholy “The Chant of Stars” sound electronic. In “Sismic [sic] Echo,” the tactile jaw harp tones, rumbling beat, reedy themes and oscillating sheng figure bring otherworldly tone colors to music that would not be out of place in a 1950’s detective film.
Four “Overtone” dances-one for each season-are mini-dramas, if not as overtly pictorial as Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” nevertheless evoke images of, say, wintery iciness and a springtime woodland awakening. And though most of this music is harmonically Western, a few pieces- “Dragon Dance,” “Morning Prayer” and “Five Leaf Clover” – are built on pentatonic themes that give the music a folkish inflection.
The Wu-Wang collaboration is light-spirited and pleasant, overall, with occasional forays into meditative introspection. “Triangle of Resistance” is pointedly the opposite. An American experimental composer of Japanese descent, Ms. Masaoka devotes most of the recording to the three-movement title work, and emotionally raw evocation of Japanese-Americans’ experience in internment camps during World War II. Ms. Masaoka did not experience this-she was born in 1958–but her mother, at age, 13, was sent to such a camp, and she passed along her memories.
Scored for string quartet, synthesizers, an array of Japanese percussion instruments and Ms. Masaoka’s own instrument, the koto, and conducted by Richard Carrick, the work thrusts the listener brusquely and unsentimentally into the world of the detainee. In “The Long Road,” the opening movement, chaotic string writing-alternatley siren-like, fragmentary and eerie–is set against heavy, irregular percussion figures and a synthesizer that briefly sounds like an idling engine, but makes it sway to an oddly courtly, but de-tuned, melancholy quartet passage.
Ms. Masaoka deftly avoids doing anything long enough for the listener to feel comfortable with it. Her central movement, “The Clattering of Life,” combines scored and improvisatory sections to suggest texture and tensions of life in close confinement. Only in the finale, “Survival,” does the slowly climbing quartet written suggest hope, though not certainty.
This may seem exactly the right time for a work about xenophobia and its human toll (not that there is a wrong time). As a coda, of sorts, Ms. Masaoka also offers “Four Moons of Pluto,” a brooding otherworldly but ultimately consonant score for solo bass, powerfully rendered by James Ilgenfritz. Whether or not she intended it, Ms. Masaoka’s message seems to be that there may be peace and contentment out there somewhere, but not on the earth.


The Beginning of the End of Nuclear Weapons
The Beginning of the End of Nuclear Weapons focuses on how some 120 nations came to agree on the 2017 UN Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons. It includes background on the development of the atomic bomb, the impact of its use on Hiroshima, and progress over decades of anti-nuclear activism.
This June 2019 documentary is a collaboration of Spaniard Alvaro Orus, long a maker of films on nonviolence, and Briton Tony Robinson, co-director of Pressenza International Press Agency. Pressenza was a partner of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, which won the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting the ban treaty. It shows how stagnation after the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty led to a new chance, the “humanitarian initiative” which resulted in the ban treaty. The film’s title refers to the Nobel Laureate speech made by Hiroshima survivor Setsuko Thurlow. One of the many other activists interviewed dismantles arguments used to support the theory of nuclear deterrence.
Discussion after the screening will cover how local citizens can participate in the current US “Back from the Brink” campaign for federal policy changes to help prevent nuclear war. The discussion leader will be Gwen DuBois, president of Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility and co-founder of Prevent Nuclear War Maryland.

One year, in celebration of when the Picori last came to Hyrule 100 years ago to the day, the festival was unusually grand. Hyrule Castle was hosting a tournament of sword-fighting skill that calls to mind the heroes of legend. That year’s champion was a mysterious man by the name of Vaati. He won the tournament with an almost magical ease, and all of Hyrule was abuzz with rumors about this shadowy figure. The young Link, who attends the festival that year with his childhood friend, Princess Zelda, is charged by his grandfather, Smith, with delivering the sword that will be presented to the champion. During the ceremony following the sword competition, Vaati shatters the sacred Picori Blade and opens the Bound Chest, which, for an age, had been sealed by the Picori Blade, trapping evil monsters within. Vaati is after the Light Force, the golden light that was once wielded by the Hero of Men mentioned in the legends of the Picori. He subdues the castle guards and turns Princess Zelda to stone before departing. Vaati was once a Minish, an apprentice of the Minish sage Ezlo. Ezlo had made a magical Cap with the power to grant wishes, but Vaati had stolen it and used it to become a powerful sorcerer. He had transformed Ezlo into a hat himself, then proceeded to hunt down the Light Force. Link is asked by King Daltus to seek out the Picori and ask them to reforge the sacred blade, and he travels to the Minish Woods with the help of his Map. There he meets Ezlo, a curious creature whom he rescues from a group of Red Octoroks. Ezlo hops onto his head and offers to help him find the Picori. He also helps Link shrink down to a minuscule size — the size of the Picori people, who call themselves the Minish. Link meets with Gentari, the elder of the Minish Village, who tells him that in order to reforge the sacred Picori Blade, he will need the Four Elements, the embodiment of the sacred powers of earth, fire, water, and wind. Vaati had learned from the legend of the Wind Tribe that when the Four Elements were collected, the path to the Light Force will open. Knowing that Link is collecting them, Vaati decides to wait until the task is complete. Once Link has gathered the Four Elements, he brings the Picori Blade — renamed the White Sword by Melari, a Minish sword-smith — to the Elemental Sanctuary hidden within the courtyard of Hyrule Castle. There he infuses the White Sword with the Four Elements, fully restoring the sacred Four Sword — a legendary blade with the power to split one warrior into four. Link then gains access to a chamber with stained glass, where the location of the Light Force is revealed to be within Princess Zelda. Meanwhile, Vaati has brainwashed King Daltus and shrouded Hyrule Castle in darkness. He discovers from the stained glass of the chamber inside the Elemental Sanctuary that the sacred Light Force had actually been passed down through Hyrule’s princesses, and so he prepares to extract it from Princess Zelda. Link rushes to her rescue, and, after vanquishing Vaati, uses the Four Sword’s evil-banishing power to restore Princess Zelda. With Vaati defeated, the Mage's Cap could be used to restore Hyrule. Princess Zelda puts on the cap and wishes with all her heart that Vaati’s cruelty might be undone. With her righteous wish and the power of the Light Force that still dwelt within her, many miracles happen as a result. Now that the land of the humans had been saved, Ezlo ventures back into the world of the Minish through the Minish Door, not to return until perhaps the next time, one hundred years later, when the doorway to their world would open once more.

In the journey of life, the bond between a mother and her daughter is like a sweet song made up of those special "firsts" that warm our hearts. It all begins with the very first time the little girl enters this world, her cry echoing with the sweet symphony of a new beginning. In that instant, the world softly whispers, "Welcome!" Yet, it's the mother who cradles her close, whispering her own special welcome with a loving embrace.
As the years gracefully dance by, the daughter graces the world with her first smile, a radiant expression that brings joy to everyone who beholds it. It's a smile that carries with it the promise of a love that knows no bounds. Those first unsteady steps, as she ventures forth into the great unknown, are met with the warm hands of her mother, extending to catch her and reassure her, saying, "I've got you."
The Story of "Pehla": From Baby Steps to Bridal Lehenga Dreams
Through the pages of time, the "firsts" continue to paint the canvas of their connection. The first word, a tiny masterpiece of language, is spoken and met with applause, the mother- her daughter's most cherished audience. The mother teaches her daughter to sew for the first time, passing down the art of crafting with love and care, a moment they both treasure as a symbol of their connection. She recognizes the dhaaga that binds them together.
Then comes the day when the daughter cooks her first family meal, a memorable chapter in her life's journey. It's in these moments of culinary creativity that the mother's guidance offers the most support. It's a lesson in tradition, a gentle reminder that even in the kitchen, there is the warmth of a mother's love.
And so, as the journey unfolds, the mother and daughter find themselves in the midst of yet another monumental "first" - the daughter's wedding day. It's a day filled with a myriad of emotions, an exquisite blend of joy, nostalgia, and love. The mother, who has witnessed countless "firsts" in her daughter's life, is there once again, standing by her side, offering support as she embarks on this new chapter.
As they prepare for this momentous occasion, they reminisce about all the "firsts" that have brought them to this point. The first cry, the first smile, the first steps - all those moments that have woven the tapestry of their unbreakable bond. The wedding is not just a celebration of the daughter's love story but also a celebration of the love between mother and daughter, a love that has grown stronger with each passing "first."
In the end, it's a day filled not only with the promise of a new beginning but also with the warmth of their shared history. It's a reminder that through all of life's "firsts" and all the moments in between, the love between a mother and her daughter is a timeless and beautiful melody that continues to play in their hearts.
One of the most cherished traditions at WNW is offering the mother of WNW brides a thread - a simple yet deeply symbolic gesture. This thread serves as a paintbrush for the mother to do the first embroidery on her daughter's bridal lehenga. It's a moment that marks the beginning of her daughter's new journey, a new "first," and it's only fitting that it should start with her mother's blessings and love.
As the mother lovingly embroiders the lehenga, she pours her hopes, wishes, and blessings into every stitch. Each delicate motif becomes a testament to the love and guidance she has provided throughout her daughter's life. It's a way for the mother to impart her wisdom, her strength, and her enduring support as her daughter embarks on this beautiful journey of love and commitment.
Weddings at WNW, a bridal lehenga studio in Kolkata, are a reflection of this profound connection between mothers and daughters, where the union of two souls is not just a union of hearts but a union of families. It's a day when two sides come together to bless the holy union, to celebrate love, and to create lasting memories.
The embroidery done by the mother on her daughter's bridal lehenga is a powerful symbol of this union. It's a reminder that weddings are not just about the bride and groom but about the families who come together, weaving new threads of love and togetherness. It's a testament to the deep-rooted traditions that honor the past and celebrate the future, all while strengthening the bonds that make weddings at WNW truly extraordinary.
“Maa ki Mamta ka Pehla Dhaaga”- From First Thread To Bridal Lehenga
The quote "Maa ki mamta ka pehla dhaaga" translates to "The first thread of a mother's affection" in English. This quote emphasizes the tradition of "Pehla Dhaaga," which is a significant cultural practice in some Indian weddings. In this tradition, the bride's mother or a close female relative does the first embroidery on the daughter's bridal lehenga (traditional wedding attire).
Among the many treasures that WNW held dear, one of the most rewarding experiences was the art of handcrafting a monumental part of someone's life journey. Here, they didn't just create clothing; they embroidered memories, moments that would be cherished for a lifetime.
In the heart of WNW, two brothers, Harsh & Ankesh Bhotika, with wisdom beyond their years, recognized that weddings were not merely about the union of two souls. They were turning points in the lives of entire families. But above all, they understood the extraordinary bond between a mother and her daughter.
In this realm of emotions, WNW acknowledged the incredible journey that mothers and daughters embarked upon during the transition to marriage. The deep well of love and care that flowed through this relationship was like no other. It was a connection nurtured over a lifetime.
From a daughter's very first smile to the playful moments of childhood when she experimented with her mother's lipstick, and to the day when she draped her mother's saree for the very first time – these were the moments that truly bound them together. In these simple acts, skills and life lessons were passed down through generations, all wrapped in love and care.
And so, WNW paid homage to this unique relationship of "firsts" between mothers and daughters. They celebrated it through a sacred ritual known as 'Maa Ki Mamta Ka Pehla Dhaaga.'
In this sacred tradition, the mothers of brides-to-be at WNW, the handcrafted lehenga studio in Kolkata, were welcomed into the studio with open hearts. What awaited them was a delightful surprise – the very fabric from which their daughter's bridal lehenga would be crafted. It was a moment filled with significance, marking the beginning of the creative journey.
With loving hands, these mothers stitched the first thread, continuing a tradition of shared moments. This thread symbolized more than just the start of a dress; it represented a new chapter, a fresh beginning, and most importantly, a memory to be treasured forever. These stitches were bound by the eternal love between mother and daughter.
And so, in the heart of WNW, an entire Puja ceremony was held to honor this auspicious moment. It was their tribute to a mother's embrace, lovingly embroidered on her daughter's dreams. It was a testament to the unbreakable bond between generations, where love, care, and tradition intertwined in a beautiful tapestry of life's most cherished moments.
WNW’s “Pehla Dhaaga” Campaign
Aj meri shaadi hai
Ek nayi zindagi ki shuruwat hogi aaj se
These lines are a poetic expression of someone's excitement and anticipation on their wedding day. The phrase "Aj Meri Shaadi Hai" signifies the importance of this moment. The daughter is thrilled about the beginning of a new chapter in their life, referring to it as the start of a "nayi zindagi" or new life.
It's a day filled with dreams, hopes, and the promise of a beautiful journey ahead. These lines capture the essence of the joy and the sense of a fresh beginning that a wedding day symbolizes in many cultures, marking the union of two individuals and the start of their married life.
Choti si thi jab shaam ko chaat pe khelti thi tumhare sath. Paudo ko paani dena, tuta hua phool uthake tumhare baalon me lagana
The daughter nostalgically recalls how, when she was young ("Choti si thi"), she used to play with her mother on the terrace ("chaat"). They engaged in simple yet heartwarming activities like watering the plants ("Paudo ko paani dena") and carefully picking up fallen flowers to adorn her mother's hair ("tuta hua phool uthake tumhare baalon me lagana").
These activities were not just about the actions themselves but also about the love and bonding shared between the mother and daughter during those innocent and carefree moments. The daughter's reminiscence reflects the deep affection and gratitude she holds for her mother and the beautiful moments they spent together.
Jab tum taiyaar hoti thi kahin jaane ke liye main tumhari lipsticks uthake bhaagti thi, kabhi mu par, kabhi gaal par lagake dikhati thi tumhe, tumhare jaisa dikhna tha jo mujhe
These lines depict a heartwarming memory of a daughter reminiscing about her mother's influence on her during her childhood. The daughter fondly recalls how, whenever her mother would get ready to go somewhere, she would playfully take her mother's lipsticks and hurriedly apply them on her own lips and cheeks.
This act wasn't just a playful imitation but a way of expressing her admiration and the desire to emulate her mother's appearance. It signifies the strong bond between the two and the daughter's yearning to be like her mother. These lines beautifully capture the innocence and love that exist in the relationship between a mother and her daughter, highlighting the profound impact a mother can have on her child.
Pehli bar tumhari saree pahenna, aur aj tak tumhare madadke bina na pehen pana aadat si ho gayi hai meri
These lines express a daughter's nostalgic reflection on how, for the first time ("Pehli bar"), she tried wearing her mother's saree. The experience left an indelible mark on her as she reminisces that even to this day, she cannot put on a saree without her mother's assistance.
It speaks to the powerful bond between a mother and daughter, where the mother's guidance and presence in helping her wear a saree have become an integral part of her life. These lines evoke a sense of longing for the simplicity and closeness of her childhood, where her mother's support was essential, and they beautifully capture the enduring influence and connection between the two.
Aaine ke samne tumhara mujhe bithake, ek dusre me ek dusre ko dekhna, khusi ke aansu le aarahi hai aj
These lines portray a poignant moment on the daughter's wedding day. She is seated in front of the mirror, and her mother has lovingly placed her there. As they gaze at each other's reflections, tears of joy well up in their eyes. This emotional moment signifies the profound connection between them.
The mirror reflects not only the daughter's radiant beauty on her special day but also the unspoken love and shared memories between mother and daughter. It's a touching scene where the daughter's journey from childhood to this significant milestone is encapsulated in the mirror's reflection, and the presence of her mother beside her in an embroidery wedding lehenga brings a flood of happy tears, underscoring the deep bond and cherished moments they've shared.
Hum samajhte hai maa aur beti ke rishte ka har woh pehli ahsas ki kimat. Tabhi hamara kosish hai is pehli parampara ko aur bhi khaas banana. Shaadi ke pehle dhaage ko pyaar se bandhna , aapke ma ke hath se
In these lines, Harsh Vardhan Bhotika, the founding member of WNW, emphasizes the profound value of the mother-daughter relationship and their "firsts." He expresses a deep understanding of the emotional significance attached to these moments.
WNW's aim is to elevate this tradition further by making it more special. We suggest that before the wedding, the daughter should lovingly tie the "Pehla Dhaaga" (first thread) with her mother's hands. This act symbolizes the unique connection and love between them, creating a beautiful and heartfelt tradition to celebrate the bond they share.
Client Testimonials: From the Hearts of WNW Brides
Priyanka Soni shared a heartwarming post on her Instagram, saying, "Thank you, WNW, for making my bridal journey so special. The Pehla Dhaaga tradition is something I will cherish forever. Seeing my mother embroider my lehenga was a moment I'll never forget."
Khusboo expressed her gratitude on her Instagram, with her voice narrating, "I can't thank WNW enough for letting my mother be a part of my bridal outfit. Pehla Dhaaga was a beautiful experience that made my wedding even more special." Her happiness can be witnessed in the reel when she’s sitting beside her mother while she does the embroidery, and later Khusboo showers her mother with lovely rose petals as a part of her joy.
Anubha Choudhury shared a touching reel on her Instagram, showing the process of her mother embroidering her bridal lehenga as the conveyance of her emotions. Putting words to it, she expressed her heartiest thanks to WNW, for preserving the bond between a mother and daughter on the most important day of my life.
These testimonials from Priyanka Soni, Khusboo, and Anubha Choudhury highlight the emotional significance of the Pehla Dhaaga tradition at WNW and how it made their bridal experiences truly memorable. It's a testament to WNW's commitment to creating unique and meaningful bridal moments.

to Martino TRAVERSA - Editions Leduc
violin - duration : 8’
commissioned by Philippe ARRII-BLACHETTE
premiere : October 28th, 2015, Italy, Parme, Traiettorie Festival
Alexandra GREFFIN KLEIN (violin)
This work for solo violin is a tribute to human genius, today capable of guiding a tiny robot through the vastness of outer space towards an equally tiny target: the Chury comet. On November 12th, 2014, after more than ten years of travelling through space,
Philae successfully touched down and began to beam back data that continues to reveal "the building blocks of life", never before observed on a small celestial body.
Like much of my music, Philae seeks neither to describe nor to tell, but rather to translate my impressions upon contemplating the images that have been sent back to us and more largely, this extraordinary European technical achievement.
The score alternates abruptly between smooth and rough, light and dark, slow and fast, lively and still. I also wanted to further my research into melody, begun in my earliest works, while exploring the distinctive technique and beautiful timbre of the violin. To do so, I have used, throughout the score, three materials that are easily recognisable to the ear : a swooping motif (like the "backwards" sound thrusted by the bow, which we hear right in the first bar and which returns throughout the work) ; rapidly-played notes (grouped in a harmonic constellation) employing the spiccato technique so specific to this instrument; and last, a sequence of notes that are repeated on the violin's open A string. This sequence becomes increasingly present through the insertion of satellite notes as well as its mutation, near the end of the work, with very soft "bow rolls".
Expressing this force that sends a little robot across the universe is also, perhaps, to express the one that drives the scientist to push an experiment further, and the composer to invent/create new spaces.
Dominique CRESSON, Ouest France, 26 novembre 2015
" ...Lyonel Schmit qui s’attaque à bras-le-corps à l’oeuvre d’Allain Gaussin, Philae. Un goût d’espace s’il en est. Une puissance qui nécessite une virtuosité qui n’a rien à voir avec celle d’un robot. Impressionnant. Nous ne dirons jamais assez tout le respect et l’admiration que nous éprouvons pour le compositeur et l’interprète... "

VSC “Revised” Library Plan Is Being Widely Panned
According to a story in today’s Times Argus, VSC administrators’ revised library plan isn’t finding a lot of support from the VSC staff or lawmakers.
From the Argus piece:
“I think it’s the same as their old plan,” says Preston Garcia, president of the Castleton University faculty assembly. “I don’t think there’s any change at all. It provides more detail, which they should have to begin with, but there’s no change. … I think they’re trying to get positive headlines, that they’re making concessions, but I see zero concessions.”

Jews & Chocolate
There are some surprising Jewish connections with chocolate, including Jews in the early chocolate trade and early Jewish chocolate makers. Because the discovery of chocolate and the Spanish Inquisition, along with the Expulsion of Jews from Spain and later from Portugal, coincided, the Jewish connection to chocolate in the early days was primarily through Conversos in Portugal, France, Belgium, Holland, the Caribbean and North America. Later on, Jews engaged in candy making as well.
As we travel, my husband, Rabbi Mark Hurvitz and I explore local chocolate opportunities and culture.
I research the associations between Jews and chocolate, both historical and contemporary.

This course focuses on underlying religious and philosophical assumptions in the most recent works of Haruki Murakami (1949-), 1Q84 in three volumes and Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage. Murakami is the most popular and widely read novelist in Japan today and a major literary figure worldwide. He cites as his two sources for inspiration in writing 1Q84 George Orwell and the AUM religious cult, responsible for bombing Tokyo subways with sarin gas in the 1990s.

It can be a challenge to find all the places where one's research appears. The academic citation system is fragmented and well known for errors and omissions. When an anonymous editor at Wikipedia suddenly decided that my achievements as an amateur mathematician were negligible and rallied his troops to remove my listing under "Amateur Mathematicians," I knew their efforts were misguided and began to explore the actual reach of my work.
For the record, my first peer-reviewed paper was published before I took any college-level math classes. My discoveries have been written about in Science News, Science Magazine (American Association for the Advancement of Science), and PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). I've presented at Yale and was invited to appear in a documentary to talk about fractal structure in the music of Bach. I've been delighted to hear from students all over the world who have been inspired by my work to do their own mathematical research.
So, here is a list of papers, books, patents, and reference sites that cite or describe my research, along with some high-quality articles and blogs that have covered my work (I've left out my citations of my own papers). I've also included a few YouTube videos from math channels that talk about my discovery of e in Pascal's triangle. (If the database doesn't load, you can find it here: Citations.)

As much as I love my chosen field of toxicology, I don’t often turn to it as a topic for leisure reading. However, A Is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie is a new take on toxicological analysis. Author Kathryn Harkup is both a toxicologist and a fine storyteller. She weaves together the story of Agatha Christie’s life, the horror stories she penned, and the science behind the toxins that killed many in her stories.
The book progresses by addressing a different poison used in Agatha Christie novels in each chapter: chapter 2 is titled “B is for Belladonna”; chapter 3, “C is for Cyanide”, and so on. In each chapter Harkup details how each poison is used, both legally and illegally, and how Christie incorporated them into her novels. She delves deeper into how the poisons function and how they were discovered as well.
Harkup toes the line between dumbing down her topic of study and avoiding the potentially snooze-inducing scientific minutia. On the contrary, interweaving an account of the scientific importance of a compound with some discussion of its historical implications proves a fascinating approach. In each chapter, Harkup takes the reader through how each poison was utilized in each Agatha Christie novel, describing how the victim’s symptoms and death affect the plotline. She again brings in history by comparing these fictional deaths with the deaths of poisoned historical figures, and also describes how the victims’ symptoms correlate with the pathological effects of toxic exposure.
Harkup’s novel is a fascinating combination of literature and science that I immensely enjoyed. You can see my full-length book review of The Poisons of Agatha Christie on American Scientist.

On June 22, 2022,
Mayor Kate Gallego made a visit to the Burton Barr Central Library on Wednesday, June 22, to view the Show Your Colors: LGBTQ+ Pride Flag Exhibit showcased at the @Central Gallery. In attendance was Brant Keeney, president of the Phoenix LGBTQ Employee Alliance (LGBTQ-EA) and staff from Phoenix Pride. Chris Christensen, curator of the exhibit and past LGBTQ-EA president, gave an in-depth tour highlighting the design concepts behind the 22 flags that are featured, told anecdotes on the Rainbow Pride flag, considered the most iconic symbol of Pride and the Phoenix connection to the Transgender Pride flag and many others.
After the tour, Mayor Gallego, a strong ally and friend to the LGBTQ community, proclaimed June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in the City of Phoenix. She went on to say that this month we reflect on the work we do to increase awareness and establish support for our LGBTQ+ friends, family, and neighbors and urged all Phoenicians to join her in celebrating Pride Month around our city. Mike Fornelli, Executive Director with Phoenix Pride was on hand to receive the Proclamation from the Mayor.


In a constantly evolving industry, it’s vital to keep an accurate account of the pulse of consumers and their habits. When it comes to operational initiatives and business strategies, spa and resource partner professionals need hard data to inform and support their most critical decisions. For this reason, the International SPA Association (ISPA) equips its spa and resource partner members with robust research reports in partnership with renowned research organisation PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
ISPA recently released the 11th edition of the ISPA Consumer Snapshot, detailing the evolution of consumer attitudes and behaviours over the last two years, as the COVID-19 pandemic made its effects felt around the world. The ISPA Foundation commissioned the study to discover how those attitudes and behaviours may have shifted among spa-goers and non-spa-goers in that time, in order to supply ISPA members with an accurate picture of their target consumers.
In addition to the Consumer Snapshot, the 2022 ISPA US Spa Industry Study will be released to all ISPA members in July. This year’s Industry Study indicates a significant bounce back from the depths of the pandemic in 2020. Particularly encouraging is the overall revenue growth, substantial increase in spa visits and a hopeful rise in revenue per visit.
ISPA members enjoy exclusive access to all research studies conducted by the association, including monthly Snapshot Surveys that focus on various timely and pertinent topics. The ISPA Research Library includes thousands of pages of research reports that can be used to assist members at every turn as they seek to navigate the ever-changing landscape of spa and wellness.


The Scramble for Africa
The Association for Promoting the Discovery
of the Interior Parts of Africa (commonly known as the African
Association), founded in London on June 9, 1788, was a British
club dedicated to the exploration of West Africa, with the mission
of discovering the origin and course of the Niger River and the
location of Timbuktu, the "lost city" of gold. The formation
of this group was effectively the "beginning of the age of

and religious themes were discouraged.
The African Association also felt that it was the great failing
of the Age of Enlightenment that, in a time when men could sail
around the world, the geography of the Dark Continent remained
almost entirely uncharted. The Ancient Greeks and Romans knew
more about the interior of Africa than did the English of the
Motivated by sincere desires for scientific knowledge and the
abolition of the slave trade, yet not averse to gaining opportunities
for British commerce, the wealthy members each pledged to contribute
five guineas per year to recruiting and funding expeditions from
England to Africa. Along with British government, the French and
Germans later became involved in exploration, but generally with
less elevating ideals. In 1830 the Royal Geographic Society (RGS)
was founded, a short time later it absorbed the Africa Association.
The London Missionary Society's star was rising also, desiring
to 'bring god to the heathen' and were actively sending missionaries
to Africa and elsewhere. Those missionaries that did arrive in
Africa, some found exploring either a natural adjunct to their
mission or an accidental by product of their search for converts.

When I grow up I want to be a teacher Aban is 12 and lives with his family in the Gushegu town, in Ghana. He has been at Neesim school for six years moving from another school in 2011. “When I first started at school I found a number of subjects difficult, particularly ICT. Now school is good and I particularly enjoy English – my favourite subject! I love our library At my other school I didn't get enough books to read but here in Neesim the library has plenty of books. I go after school every week. I like the e-readers and enjoy reading African story books, books about animals and Dagbani history books. My favourite book is ‘Twins in Trouble’. It tells me not to steal or lie about other people! God love us My teacher is very humble and I have learnt that we should not fight, that we should share, love others, and respect their views. The school has helped me understand how God loves us, how we do his work, and how he created the universe. I also understand how God saves us from our sins through his son Jesus Christ. When I grow up I want to be a teacher." Adika 29, is the school’s librarian and literacy teacher. “I decided I wanted to be a teacher when I was in Junior High School and I completed my teaching diploma in 2014. Though I enjoyed the course, I found the reality of teaching hard. Since coming to Neesim, I have enjoyed the in-service training and learnt to use different methods to teach. I have improved alot and now I love my job. Neesim is different Neesim is different to other schools as there is much more management supervision and of course the weekly staff devotions. The devotions have taught me to forgive, to love and to draw closer to God. I can see that the reading programme with the library facility has really helped the children to improve their reading skills. My dream is to further my education to acquire more knowledge and skills so I can help the children even more!"

Janie Mines applies the religious themes taught by her family in a real-world exposé of how those childhood experiences prepared her to enter the class of 1980 at the U.S. Naval Academy. She reveals a painful chapter in American history. It is an insightful, uniquely personal journey of fortitude, faith and resilience told by the young woman who stood alone and forced both the institution and the armed forces to look in the mirror. Janie Mines is one of the strongest women I know. Her story will stir the conscience of the reader and provoke a truly deeper conversation of race and gender relations in our country. Sadly, it reveals how culture can undermine and corrode the best intentions of law, policy, guidance, and the leadership. —Patrick Walsh, graduate, U.S. Naval Academy, Class of 1977

An Introduction of James
What separates an epistle from a letter is the fact that an epistle is written to the church in general, while letters are written to specific people or congregations. James is one of these epistles. It is a practical book that is written to the church in general. One of the reasons this seems to be so is because James does not seem to speak about any local issues. In verse 1 he speaks of the 12 tribes scattered throughout all the nations, but this is most likely speaking of the spiritual Israel (Christians).
The first verse tells the reader that the Author is James. It also tells the reader that the author is a servant of Jesus. When asking which “James” this might be, Carson and Moo in An Introduction of the New Testament say this concerning the authorship, “The lack of elaboration points to a well-known James, and it is natural to think first to those men by this name who mentioned in the New Testament” (pg. 621). Of these men, there is only one that is both alive during the time of this letter and not obscure. The James that is left is the brother of Jesus. James was highly involved with the work of the church in Jerusalem (Acts 12,15,21), so it is not a surprise that he would take the leadership role of writing a general epistle to the churches of Christ.
The epistle speaks first of enduring trials. Trials produce stronger and more faithful Christians if they are handled the right way. The letter speaks of wisdom and how to live in wisdom. A large percentage of Biblical scholars show how James is reminiscent of the wisdom literature in its nature. The majority of this book revolves around the concept of Christian liberty and the wisdom therein. However, the major focus of the book is pointing the Christian to where said wisdom comes. Wisdom is evident and strengthened by works and kindness, but its source is from above. The source of wisdom is in the faith, trust, and reverence one has in his creator. No matter what physical, emotional, or social trials a Christian goes through, true wisdom comes through depending on the truth and greatness of the will of God. A trusting prayer gives the Christian the wisdom he lacks in order for him to be a strengthened, blessed, and peaceful child of the Lord. Although chapter 5 of James is a section of closing remarks, the aforementioned is still the context of this chapter. – Jesse

Naruto is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. It tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja who always seeks recognition and dreams of becoming Hokage, the ultimate and most influential leader of his village.
The series is based on a one-shot of Kishimoto published in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump magazine.
Naruto Coloring Pages
Naruto is a series that was born from a one-shot story to become a global phenomenon, a cosplay trend, a universe of millions of ideas. Naruto can provide classes of content to the best film industries in the West. It includes socialization, serialization, massification, and commercialization of content
Everything unfolds with a single thread: teenagers want to be strong, the strongest. What for? To protect them all, to be recognized, to have friends. From this line comes the story of Uzumaki Naruto, a somewhat clumsy ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village.
The shinobi world associated with stealth, deception, and life in the shadows, elements almost absent in this anime. The strength, say relevance, of the characters is defined by a repetitive and straightforward formula: the more striking and great the technique, the more powerful is the one who uses it.
Naruto (the series) was never exempt from such ostentatious skills. From Uchiha Sasuke’s first Katon – fire technique – in his training with Hatake Kakashi to the never-ending Fourth Ninja World War, fans of this franchise have enjoyed the ability of mangakas – manga drawers – to create unimaginable ninjutsu – ninja techniques.
Naruto was serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from issue 43 of 1999 to issue 50 of 2014, with the chapters collected in seventy-two volumes tankobon by Shueisha publishing house.
The last representative of the Uzumaki lineage lives in a universe plagued by bloodless murders, as befits a shounen -series for youngsters between the ages of 10 and 15-, conspiracies and battles where the law of the strongest prevails.
