Globe 100 | Methodology
How we calculate the numbers

The Globe 100 ranks the best-performing, publicly traded corporations based in Massachusetts by how well they increased sales, profits, and returns for shareholders during 2009.
Capital IQ, a Standard & Poor’s business, gathered information on some 212 Bay State companies from sources that included Securities and Exchange Commission filings, commercial news services, and corporate and government reports.
To be considered for the Globe 100 a company must:
Maintain its corporate headquarters in Massachusetts;
Trade its shares on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the American Stock Exchange;
Have been a public company for all of 2009; and
Report revenue and profit for both 2008 and 2009.
Royalty trusts and closed-end and exchange-traded funds are excluded. Real estate investment trusts and limited partnerships are included in Globe 100 calculations, but excluded from certain other charts, such as dividend yields, because of the methods used to account for income.
Rankings are derived from financial data for the four quarters ending closest to December 31, 2009, and for corresponding quarters a year earlier.
The companies are then ranked on four criteria:
Return on average equity, a measure of how effectively shareholder money is employed;
One-year percentage change in revenue;
One-year percentage change in profit margin;
2009 revenue.
Companies are assigned a score in each of the four categories, based on their rankings; the four scores are then added together. Companies are ranked highest to lowest, based on their total score. Ties are broken based on 2009 revenue.
For example, this year’s top performer, TJX Cos. of Framingham, ranked 3d in return on equity; 26th in change in revenue; 19th in change in profit margin; and 3d in revenue, giving the company a total score of 51.
Return on shareholder equity is determined by dividing 2009 net income by the average of 2008 and 2009 shareholder equity.
For the purposes of calculating return on shareholder equity, net income is defined as available for common, or net income from continuing operations before extraordinary or nonrecurring items, as filed on the company’s income statement.
If a company includes special charges — such as merger costs — in its pretax figures, the numbers will not be considered extraordinary and will be included in available for common.
Revenue for banks is calculated by adding net interest income after loan-loss provisions to total noninterest income.
Profit is calculated as net income from operations after extraordinary or nonrecurring items, as filed on the company’s income statement.
Profit margin is determined by dividing profit by revenue. The one-year change in profit margin is calculated by computing the percentage change in profit margin between 2008 and 2009.
Stock prices in all tables and stories have been adjusted for splits.
To be considered for the Growth 50 chart, a company must be based in Massachusetts and have been public in both 2008 and 2009. Companies are ranked by a composite score of two-year average annual sales and profit growth rates.
The Globe also used the same criteria to rank the top performers among publicly traded companies that are based outside Massachusetts, but are among the state’s 200 largest employers.

In 2005 Mark Radley, a cobbler from Liverpool, managed to blag his way into the AC Milan VIP suite during the 2005 Champions’ League Final in Istanbul, and ended up sitting next to Silvio Berlusconi. The game turned out to be one of the most rivetting footballing highlights of the past fifty years. But at half-time, and with Liverpool three nil down, Mark had nothing to cheer for, and he set about making a sizeable hole in the free salmon and champagne. Half an hour later he was in cloud cuckoo land, the Italian PM had lost his sense of humour, and the AC Milan VIP suite was in chaos. As Ian Rush would say – unbelievable.
I knew Mark. I was nearing the end of a long run in Hollyoaks at the time and used to have actors and crew lodging with me near Sefton Park. Numptie young actors can't go a week without losing a key, so I was regularly in and out of Mark's shop. I also had a much prized pair of ancient boots and Mark extended their life a couple of times. When I called in we always exchanged the latest footie gossip, about Liverpool FC and the imminent resurgence of Huddersfield Town. After Liverpool's amazing comeback in Istanbul I called in to congratulate him. He told me he's been in Istanbul. Even better. Then he said that something strange had happened to him during the game. When he told me about the half-time high jinx with Silvio it wasn't long before I took my finely re-glued boots home, and started writing Beating Berlusconi!
Mark’s bizarre true story in the AC Milan VIP suite and that one, amazing night in Istanbul continues to tour, creating the climax of Beating Berlusconi!, a one-man Liverpool comedy touching on many key political moments since the eighties – Hillsborough, the anti-Thatcher riots, the Iraq War, Michael Heseltine’s close acquaintance with the Tory clitoris - all this as Silvio Berlusconi retires to spend more time at his bunga-bunga parties.
Originally I’d thought of performing it myself, but my scouse accent’s shite and I’m far too old. My friend Matt Rutter put us onto Paul Duckworth. I knew Paul’d been in Brookside, and had played Ringo in the Beatles bio-pic, Backbeat, but what I didn’t expect was a human chameleon on speed. Paul ’s virtuoso, forty character performance has produced gasps of astonishment wherever it’s been seen - “a tour-de-force”, “hilarious”, “mesmerising”, “staggering” , “funny, eloquent, reflective, loveable, cheeky, cocky and deeply sad – a masterclass”. See it, and judge for yourself.

Home The Bank of Google
The Bank of Google
Lots of media outlets (here the NY Times) picked up on a story that first appeared in the WSJ online Friday about the allegedly impeding launch of a PayPal rival (Google Wallet is the rumored name).
One of the key things this move does, if the story is accurate, is signal the launch of a potentially significant diversification effort by Google. The market will soon demand this to continue to pay such a premium for Google shares.
Roughly 98 percent of Google's revenues now come from advertising. PayPal was responsible for almost 25% of eBay's first-quarter revenue.
There's no guarantee this would succeed and become a big revenue generator for Google (Microsoft's Passport failed). The NY Times article also discusses the possibility of Google gathering information about its users' spending patterns through the new system as a way to fine-tune the ads served to them. This would be a form of behaviorial targeting and I don't see Google doing this; it would all-but-doom the new effort.
Convenience and, especially, trust are key elements that will determine whether Google Wallet will succeed. Google has struggled a bit in the trust department lately, with initiatives such as My Search History, Accelerator, Autolink and others raising privacy concerns. Because of its enormous success, some people are starting to regard Google with the skepticism that Microsoft routinely encounters.
Google already has something of a "wallet" on its IE toolbar in "autofill," which can store a credit card number. That feature is very helpful and convenient in my view.
PayPal gets much of its volume from the eBay marketplace. By analogy that raises the question of who will use this and pay the associated fees? Presumably it will be a seller-fee based model. Most consumers buying things online have credit cards and consumers won't pay Google to store or otherwise use that information.
The hidden aspect of all this may be the small business angle. PayPal is effectively an alternative to a credit card merchant account for small business retailers/sellers. Yahoo! offers PayPal as part of its merchant solutions. The new Google offering could piggyback on my suggestion of a Google SME Web-hosting business in the same way.
Another question to ask is: Will Google be creating a private-party classifieds marketplace (a la eBay or Craigslist)? That would be something of a bombshell announcement (it would probably need to be free). Though no small effort, that would would be the "other shoe" for eBay — and an unhappy day for newspapers.
I've often told journalists asking, "Who's going to be the next Google" that there won't likely be another Google. I still think that's true because the next Google will probably be bought buy Google — or Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, IAC, etc. But the bigger, more diversified and portal-like Google becomes, which is now something of a market imperative, the more it creates an opening for a simple tool that just helps people find information online . . .
. . . Sort of like the way Google used to be.

NEFA CALLS FOR END TO LOGGING OF NSW PUBLIC NATIVE FORESTS
NEFA Media Release 8 September 2021
NEFA is calling upon the NSW Government to follow the leads of Western Australia and Victoria by immediately adopting a plan to phase out logging of public native forests because of their vital roles in taking up and storing carbon and providing homes for so many of our threatened species.
West Australian Premier Mark McGowan today announced that logging of public native forests will be phased out by 2024, stating "Protecting this vital asset is critical in the fight against climate change."
This visionary decision is in stark contrast to the announcement by NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean on Tuesday that he will increase protection for 4% of existing national parks, said NEFA spokesperson Dailan Pugh.
“This is the best that Matt Kean can offer at a time when logging of north-east NSW’s public forests is set to be ramped up to extract millions of tonnes of woodchips to replace coal in electricity generation, and while existing protections for threatened species, including Koalas, are weakened on State Forests and private lands.
We are in the midst of climate and species-extinction crises that need to be urgently addressed, said NEFA spokesperson Susie Russell.
“The simplest and most effective action we can take to buy us time to reduce emissions and replant forests, is to stop logging those we have left so they can regain their lost carbon and habitat values.
”Most Wood Supply Agreements expire in 2023, so this would be an appropriate time to end logging of public native forests in NSW” Ms Russell said.
The Victorian Government has already announced that they will phase out logging of public native forests by 2030.
The Queensland Government is still debating whether to honour the 1999 South-East Queensland Forests Agreement (SEQFA) commitment to phase out logging of public native forests by 2024.
The West Australian Government has committed $50 million for a Just Transition Plan to support affected workers, businesses and local economies, and $350 million boost to planting of softwoods as an alternative resource.
“We need to follow West Australia’s lead and provide support to affected workers, businesses and local economies as part of the necessary transition to a cleaner and greener future.
“If we want to improve the lives of our grandkids we must act urgently to stop all logging of public native forests” Mr Pugh said.

The Cavo Greco National Forest
Posted on 10/09/2019 18/09/2019 by turm3j
On an island that has a land mass of some 9,251 km² and a total indigenous population of fewer than 1.2 million people, you can be sure of one thing; there is plenty of empty space. From the Troodos Mountains to the Akamas Peninsula National Park near Paphos, huge tracts of land have been identified as areas of outstanding natural beauty and protected as such.
One of these many unspoilt areas is the Cavo Greco National Forest that lies in a substantial tract of land adjacent to the Coast between the Protaras and Ayia Napa resorts. While the park is loosely described as “a forest” it is actually more of an open space populated by low lying trees and shrubs. The towering cape itself is situated at the southernmost end of the park and affords stunning views and some spectacular sunsets.
A walker’s paradise
There are tons of things to see and plenty to do at the park and virtually every area can be accessed by one of the nine easy nature walks/cycle routes along well constructed and maintained paths. The Aphrodite Nature Trail meanders through the beautiful landscape some 2km and takes in one of the most stunning stretches of coastline in the South East of the island. Cavo Greco is one place where you will want to rest-up often to take it all in and there are plenty of benches for doing just that located along the trails at the many viewpoints.
Crystal clear waters and spectacular sea caves
The waters off the Cape are among some of the clearest in Cyprus which makes them popular with both seasoned scuba divers and snorkelling enthusiasts alike. The coastline is predominantly limestone and volcanic rock (cooled magma) making it particularly spectacular below the waterline. During the hot summer months, locals and some intrepid tourist will often be seen diving and jumping off the limestone cliffs into the rocky pools some 30 feet below.
The rugged coast between Ayia Napa and Protaras is peppered with natural sea caves. While a few are accessible from the park, the best way to see them is via one of the many boat trips out of the Ayia Napa Harbour. Some of these subterranean marvels extend as deep as 140 feet into the rock and swimmers can access them during calmer seas. There have even been occasions when particular low tidal levels have made it possible to walk into some of them although this is rare as the Med isn’t a tidal sea.
Natural rock bridges and spectacular arches
The Kamara Tou Korkaka or “arch” in English is the most impressive natural arch on the Island and along with the “love bridge” is a prominent feature of the park. Lovers have been standing on the bridge for years and making their wishes at sunset on the six metres of natural structure that nature has spent a few million years working on.
Ayioi Anargyroi Chapel
The pretty little Ayioi Anargyroi Chapel is built on the solid rock above the legendary Hermits Cave which is dedicated to twin brothers and revered saints Cosmas and Damianos. They were doctors who reputedly healed without accepting any payment.
The cave is accessed down a couple of flights of steps cut into the rocks and it is reputed that the water running inside Hermits Cave is Holy and has healing properties. The church itself has been a popular spot for wedding photographs over the years due to the stunning scenery and dramatic coastal backdrop.
The Cape Greco Environmental Centre
From lectures and exhibitions to aquariums, a coffee shop, and a souvenir shop, the Cape Greco Environmental Centre is the perfect place to stop off after a hard day trekking and sightseeing around the park. The centre itself has been innovatively designed with its surrounding environment in mind. In respect of this, it has been awarded an architectural design award and facilities include a media and education area.
Picnics and paddling
A short walk from the Ayioi Anargyroi Chapel brings you to the park’s purpose-built picnic area where there are even places to fire up your own BBQ. If packed lunches or cooking don’t appeal to you, however, the fabulous Konnos Bay and beach area are only 5 minutes up the road (in the car) or a steady walk along the coast from the park. The bay often plays host to some celebrity yachts in the summer months and it is a great place for snorkelling, bathing, or simply relaxing after hard days trekking around the Cavo Greco National Forest.

Rabies Cases Increasing In Ontario
By Doon Animal Hospital | July 19, 2016 | 1
A threat to our pet’s health that we thought was going away seems to be making a comeback: rabies!
At one time there were a considerable number of rabies cases annually in Ontario. As a high school co-op student in the ‘90s I travelled with some large animal vets in Perth County and was exposed to a rabid cow. This was followed by a vaccination and a series of immunoglobulin injections that I can’t say that I enjoyed.
Between 1958 and 1990, there was an average of 1500 cases of rabies each year! Vaccination has made a huge impact on these numbers and in 2001 there were only 217 rabies cases and in 2011 only 6 cases!!! However, since December of last year, there have been 128 new cases, mostly related to a new strain of rabies called raccoon variant, whereas previously we saw a fox strain of rabies. Most cases are in raccoons, skunks and bats. Most cases have been in Hamilton area but some around Stratford. So vets in Kitchener are right in the middle of these cases and we need to be aware of its threat!
Transmission of rabies is almost always by a bite. The clinical signs of rabies include an acute behaviour change and an unexplained progressive paralysis.
Vaccination is tremendously effective. We carry a rabies vaccine for dogs that, if given twice 12 months apart, can be give just once every 3 years. Most vet clinics in Kitchener carry this vaccine but some still use the annual vaccine. We carry a non adjuvanted rabies vaccine for cats which is an annual vaccine. If the cat is indoors only, I will often go off label and give every other year. Previous rabies vaccines had some rare problems in cats that, while rare, were blamed on the adjuvant. Vaccination is an extremely effective preventative against rabies!

Far Isles Session #29 - The Zombie Raft
Abdul el Abdul (Fighter 4)
Torak (Cleric 4)
Beuford Bumbletoes (Halfling 3)
The party had Lynessa turn the "Purple Haze" about to chase down the raft. Once they were close enough, Abdul el Abdul and a few sailors latched onto the squishy edge with rope and grappling hooks, joining the raft and ship together. The could now see that the mass of dead crocodiles, humanoids, and assorted swamp life that made up the raft was not still but quivering with movement. In fact, as they watched, a quartet of moss covered, half rotten bodies untangled themselves from the bulk of the raft and began to shuffle towards the ship. As the crew retreated to the rigging and the stern of the ship, the party unleashed a rain of missile fire and paralyzation rays to take them out. That done, the party passed over the ropes to the raft, and proceeded to the grass hut. Seeing no door, Beuford stuck his hand through the grass hut, only to have it grabbed by something on the other side. He pulled his hand back, and the party proceeded to tear the hut down to get inside. Inside were three more of the moss covered zombies, which were quickly dispatched. That done, they looked around the remains of the hut. There was little to see except for some creepy bone and grass charms hanging from the ceiling, and a 5' wide hole in both the floor and ceiling. Tying a couple of coils of rope together, Kwinsea then used attach rope to secure it to the ship, there being nothing else on the raft solid enough to hold it. And then down the hole went the rope, followed by Abdul el Abdul and Beuford. About 40' down they entered a chamber deep in the raft, with walls and floor and ceiling an undulating mass of bodies. Also in the chamber were a trio of deathly looking wolves, who fell on Abdul el Abdul and Beuford with a vengeance, paralyzing both. Torak and Kwinsea then dropped into the chamber, and between the borrowed paralyzation wand and a lot of stabbing, the three wolves were defeated.
Once Abdul el Abdul and Beuford were brought back to normal using a couple of potions of healing, the party headed for the only unique feature of the room, a stout oak door. After several attempts to open it failed, Abdul el Abdul noted the door was just built into the mass of bodies which formed the walls. So he proceeded to cut away around the frame, and soon the door was removed and the path free. On the other side they found a passageway writhing with arms and hands, trying to grab at them. There were also two stairs built out of the quivering flesh, on leading up and one down. The party headed down, with Beuford in the lead. Their exploration ended after about 30' in front of a wall of flesh. And a pit trap, into which Beuford fell. Luckily he avoided the spikes sticking out of the fetid water at the bottom.
The rest of the party hauled Beuford out, and headed back to take the upper stairs. This corridor was longer, and was similarly alive with clutching hands. Beuford again triggered a trap, this time the rib cage of some huge beast which sprang out of the floor. Luck was with the halfling again, as he managed to dodge the sharpened bone. His luck shortly ran out though, when the passage opened into a small room. At the far end they could see, hiding behind what appeared to be a 10' iron rose, the mysterious figure they had battled above. Between the party and him, however, stood two desiccated and undead guardians. They leveled their cold blades at Beuford, who stood alone in the front rank, and the halfling shivered as they drained away much of his vitality and power. Kwinsea once more whipped out the borrowed paralyzation wand and froze all three opponents, who were then dispatched by bladed means. The party gathered up the silver coins scattered about the writhing floor, and looted a dagger (which cast a circle of light when unsheathed) and a bone staff from the mysterious figure. Abdul meanwhile, pulled down the iron rose. It was unadorned, but subsequent investigation showed it to be magical. That was good enough reason to take it along, so the party dragged it back through the tunnels of clutching hands to the chamber below the hut. Where they were dismayed to find their rope was missing. Abdul tried climbing up, but the writhing walls did not allow good grip, and he fell before making it halfway. In the end, the party hatched a plan to send Hermes up the shaft with the ebony fly attached to some more rope. Once above "ground" they summoned the fly, and everyone climbed up the rope as it hovered overhead. And hauled up the iron rose.
Everyone looked about for the "Purple Haze", which now stood off several hundred yards to the west. There was a commotion on deck, a fight of some sort. Leaping aboard the fly, Beuford launched himself at the ship, finding the crew battling a quartet of the moss covered zombies from the raft. He leapt into the fray, and the fly returned to the raft to ferry the others over. They soon destroyed the last of the zombies, but not before four of the crew were also dead. This put the rest in a bitter mood, and they made no move to listen when given the order to raise sail and pursue the raft. Abdul el Abdul brought them around, however, by offering the thousand silver coins they'd just recovered from the zombie raft. That got the crew to work, and the "Purple Haze" was soon in hot pursuit of the raft, which had continued on it's previous heading roughly east south-east. Well, slow pursuit, as they were sailing directly into the wind, and Lynessa had to continuously tack the ship back and forth to keep the raft in sight. This continued on for days, and they left the Magic Isles behind, still following the raft in the hopes it was leading them somewhere interesting ...

Home 2012 April Mullen Brandon Jay McLaren Brittany Allen Christopher Lloyd Dead Before Dawn 3D Devon Bostick Martha MacIsaac Movie Review Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012) Directed by April Mullen
Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012) Directed by April Mullen
A friendly warning before starting things off; be aware of the fact that this really isn't being a serious zombie/demon movie but more one that is directed toward young teenagers. It does not only have the visual look of a kids movie but it's also being a childish one with comedy, characters, dialog and all of its situations.
It's a very infantile movie, in which there is never a sense of any danger or tension, also since its main characters are extremely busy with a whole bunch of stuff, such as getting the boy/girl and not necessarily with trying to survive or lifting the curse, even while clearly their lives are in danger and they have already lost some loved ones.
The good news is though that it's not being an horrible movie to watch. The movie does very little with its story, so it's also can't do an awful lot wrong. You could say that its simplicity saved this movie and still makes this a somewhat enjoyable flick, if you're in the mood for it.
It's definitely being a weird thing that this movie looks and feels like a children's movie, considering its premise and also its blood and gore. But this in every way looks and feels like a Nickelodeon movie, directed toward young teenagers. And it's not done in a satirically kind of way! It's just the movie its style, which for sure shall throw off a bunch of people already.
There is nothing wrong with a movie taking a more simplistic and comedy approach to things, after all, basically 90% of all zombie flicks are being extremely simplistic and straightforward ones but this movie just never gets clever or truly creative with anything, which causes most of its humor and situations to fall flat. Well, perhaps the movie is being creative at times, however mostly in a silly and just not all too effective way.
This movie is just being too simplistic and infantile to consider this a truly good or enjoyable genre flick but thrust me, there are far more worse genre movies to watch out there!

Bt Cotton – The Hype Vs Reality
Bt cotton is a genetically modified cotton plant, in which genes from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been inserted, on the ostensible grounds that a new pesticide that will be produced inside the cotton plant will kill a certain set of pests that cause damage to the cotton crop, thereby eliminating the use of external pesticide sprays by farmers. Environmentalists and farmers’ unions tried to stop the introduction of Bt cotton in India – they predicted that bollworms which the Bt cotton technology targets, will develop resistance, and that there are alternatives to non-chemical cultivation of cotton without resorting to the use of GM cotton seeds.
However, in March 2002, Bt cotton, the first genetically modified crop in India, was officially approved for commercial cultivation, following widespread cultivation earlier to this from illegal leakages of the seed. After its official approval, it was introduced in six states, and approval extended to some more states after a few years. Today, it is estimated that more than 95% of India’s cotton area is planted with GM cotton seeds. The GM cotton planted in India is overwhelmingly that of Monsanto’s proprietary technology called Bollgard II, after the initial introduction of Bollgard I in the market. There is also unapproved and illegal cultivation (because of illegal marketing of seeds) of Herbicide Tolerant Bt cotton, which withstands the use of chemical herbicides on the crop.
At present, Bt cotton hybrids expressing six events, with different combination of 3 Bt genes, have been legally commercialized in India. By 2014, there were 1500 Bt cotton hybrids in the market! The wide-scale adoption of Bt cotton has been due to various reasons including aggressive promotion, often with the involvement of state agencies, wide publicity to the initial short-term benefits with respect to bollworm incidence and frustration of farmers with pesticide usage, and unavailability of non-Bt seed. This has been wrongly used as an indicator of its successi.
The distress among cotton farmers has clearly continued after widespread adoption of Bt cotton, especially in rain-fed areas – as shown by farmer suicides, crop failures and rising debt. In fact, state governments have had to compensate Bt cotton farmers with taxpayers’ funds in several states after widespread crop losses.
The negative impacts of Bt cotton have been documented and articulated including by government scientists – nutrient depletion, impact on soil health, pest resistance, emergence of new pests.
The latest in the series of problems is the devastation caused during this year and last year due to widespread attack by pink bollworm. Shocking footage of farmers ‘harvesting’ pink bollworms at the ginning stage stands testimony to this.
It is by now clear that the steepest yield increases in India’s cotton have happened in years when Bt cotton had not spread large, between 2002 and 2006.
Further, chemical use in cotton fields has gone up. While insecticides use was 11000 metric tonnes in 2000, it has remained at 11600 metric tonnes in 2013. Chemical fertiliser use has gone up from 1470 million tonnes to 2300 million tonnes. Where the insecticide use was 0.9 kilos per hectare in 2002, by 2013, it was 1 kg/ha.
Meanwhile, farmer suicides did not come down. In fact, most farm suicides continue to be in the cotton-growing regions of the country, and that too of Bt cotton growers.
Right now, governments are busy promoting non-GM desi cotton with farmers, and availability of seed has become a major challenge.
In short, the claims of Bt cotton are now known to be false and the predictions of those opposing Bt cotton have come true. In effect, an irresponsible experimentation was unleashed on poor cotton farmers of India, pushing them into deeper distress.
Do we want a repetition of this story in other crops, that too food crops?
For more information check the reports in the Resources section. The graphics in this page are from a presentation by Dr K R Kranthi, Central Institute for Cotton Research.
We explain here our understanding of adoption of Bt cotton in India and how it cannot be construed to be a success of the GM technology.

The brainstem regulates vital cardiac and respiratory functions and Stems of Reed are an important building material for use in thatching in some areas. The brainstem is the most caudal part of the brain.It adjoins, is structurally continuous with the spinal cord and consists of the:. Vascular tissue provides long distance transport and structural support. Anatomy of flowering Plants Internal structure of a typical dicot stem shows following features: 1. Anatomy of Triticum Stem (Family Graminae): Following tissues are visible in the T.S. Gum arabic is an important food additive obtained from the trunks of Acacia senegal trees. Together, they help to regulate breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and several other important functions.All of these brainstem functions are enabled because of its unique anatomy; since the The vascular cambium forms between the xylem and phloem in the vascular bundles and connects to form a continuous cylinder. Stems have two pipe-like tissues called xylem and phloem. Stem cells are the fundamental source of all the bodys tissues, the template from which bodily cells are derived. Underground stem, Aerial stem, and subaerial stem are three different types of Stem. Watch the recordings here on Youtube! Areas of loosely packed cells in the periderm that function in gas exchange are called lenticels. They provide structural support, mainly to the stem and leaves. In addition, some parenchyma cells store starch. The exception is tree ferns, with vertical stems up to about 20 metres. It arises from the plumule of the embryo. Internal Structure of Monocot Stem (Transverse Section, T.S.) The latter two types conduct water and are dead at maturity. The monocot stem also has the single layered epidermis along with the thick cuti The sugars flow from one sieve-tube cell to the next through perforated sieve plates, which are found at the end junctions between two cells. Branches, leaf, flower bud and bracts are developed from nodes. Atactostele is the characteristic of monocot stem and the arrangement of vascular strands at the node is highly complex. Because the library was closed by executive order, we distributed our STEM Creativity Kits through the local elementary school. Those three tissues form the periderm, which replaces the epidermis in function. The main difference of monocot stem from dicot stem is that, here in monocots the ground tissue is NOT differentiated into Cortex and Endodermis. Stems provide a few major staple crops such as potato and taro. Decumbent: stems that lie flat on the ground and turn upwards at the ends.

It regulates the central nervous system (CNS) and is pivotal in maintaining consciousness and regulating the sleep cycle. For the use of stem node in phylogenetics and cladistics, see. Prominent cells are vessels, tracheids, fibers (Angiosperm) or tracheids (Gymnosperm). The vascular tissue of the stem consists of the complex tissues xylem and phloem which carry water and nutrients up and down the length of the stem and are arranged in distinct strands called vascular bundles. Xylem and Phloem conduct water across the plant. [ Links ] Murty, Y.S. Clipping is a handy way to collect important slides you want to go back to later. The seasonal variation in growth from the vascular cambium is what creates yearly tree rings in temperate climates. Woody dicots and many nonwoody dicots have secondary growth originating from their lateral or secondary meristems: the vascular cambium and the cork cambium or phellogen. The internodes distance one node from another. The brain stem performs the motor and sensory innervation to the face and neck through the cranial nerves. This refers to the stem or stalk of a flower. Stem shows positively phototropic and negatively geotropic growth.

During Covid19 pandemic the poor have become poorer. Prices have substantially risen. Many people are pushed to extreme poverty.
But also this time many millionaires or billionaires have increased their wealth excessively.
In Zambia, a trend was noted while millions of poor children have missed out on education, those from affluent families learnt online or were able to access e-learning on different platforms,including, Whats App.
We as a country need to build a better, fairer, equitable and just society. Poverty levels are high. Northern Province has 79.7 per cent poverty levels. Some areas of Zambia have even higher than this.
The fight against inequality requires the involvement of people at grassroots level. No doubt about this. In some areas of Zambia, we can see passion and proactive attitudes of people to change their lives. But they don’t know how.
So why grassroots involvement?
This is where people need to work collectively and organize themselves to bring about change with good leadership in place to support them. Letting people use their Voices and be heard. How else can they be served without being heard? They had to be a stop of weakening voices of the ordinary people let them be heard. Let them govern.
Inequality is not just hindering growth of our economy by causing poor production from the vast number of poor Zambians, and therefore results in no excess for agro-processing and/ or export to bring money into country, it also exacerbates poverty.
Its making societies/ communities less healthy. Zambia is 4th hungriest country in Africa. Poor diet leading to stunted growth, poor school performance, and families hungry will produce less. Poor production, leading to poor rural development and again poor health and an economy non performing continues in a viscous cycle. The poor get poorer in every way. This unacceptable cycle continues.
Inequality has also created mistrust. People failed over and over again and they don’t trust government and politicians. Hope is reduced, and this affects production, they get even poorer , with everything which goes with this persisting.
Inequality to the poor additionally hampers vital action to climate change which in turn affects rain and production and economy at large. In many rural areas you drive around trees cut for either “Chitemene” system of cultivation, or for charcoal. How do you tell these people to stop without replacing with an option . Like lime supplement instead of cutting trees and burning. And it’s any tree cut until it runs out locally.
Addressing inequality will also reduce corruption. It’s rampant and down the line it’s the poor and economy which suffers more.
As a country enhancing power of all our people is critical. Supporting communities, women, youth , children’s education, cooperatives, finance and marketing of products. Let people be heard at every level.
From grassroots, strengthening big numbers of people to come together and build their communities with support from government.
There has to be redistribution of wealth, equity, through government funded actions and accountability to the public and to the nation. Accountability to all and to the poor, to break the viscous cycle of inequality and poverty.
Let’s struggle together as a nation for our nation. You have to plough to get crops they won’t just appear. We have to plough at inequality factors until it concedes and we have a harvest.
As Zambians, strong, organized revolutionary actions together with good honest leadership, can transform our nation.We can transform lives of people and economy. We can give hope to generations, better peace and better lives.

Shared Identities
Because the war prints petered out so quickly once it became apparent that the audience for popular graphics had shifted to photography and picture postcards, scenes of battlefield pandemonium are sparse compared to the earlier conflict with China. The relatively few such prints that have come down to us dwell predictably on Japanese triumph over an overwhelmed foe, and to a certain degree the Russians are ridiculed and denigrated as the Chinese had been. Russian corpses litter the battlefield. Japanese fighting men stomp on the enemy, run them through with swords, stab them with bayonets, club them with rifle butts. They also pick off smartly uniformed Russian cavalry with their rifles—something not seen in the Sino-Japanese War prints.
“The Fall of Jinzhoucheng. The Scene of Our Second Army Occupying Nanshan after a Fierce Battle” by Banri, June 1904
[2000.446] Sharf Collection,
“Illustration of a Fierce Russo-Japanese War Battle” by Kyōkatsu, May 1904
“Russo-Japanese War: Brocade Pictures No.7” by Itō Seisai, 1904
“Our Troops Win a Great Victory after a Fierce Battle at Jiuliancheng, Hamatang. Depiction of the Death in Action of the Russian Third Marksman Division's Commander, Lieutenant General Kashtalinsky” by Ohara Koson, May 1904
At the same time, however, it is fair to say that the Russian enemy was also treated with a greater level of overall respect—a greater sense of equality and shared modernity—than had been accorded the Chinese. Nobukazu’s mirror-image fashion plate of Russian and Japanese officers (with which this section opened) is the perfect example of this, but such treatment was not exceptional. As occasionally happened in the Sino-Japanese War prints, denigration and respect might appear side-by-side in the same print. Nobukazu produced a vintage example of this, too, in his rendering of a melee in which brave cavalrymen engage in one-on-one combat in the midst of streaking gunfire.
“Picture of Our Valorous Military Repulsing the Russian Cossack Cavalry on the Bank of the Yalu River” by Watanabe Nobukazu, March 1904
[2000.544] Sharf Collection, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Even graphics depicting Japanese cutting down Russians often convey an impression of physical attractiveness as well as shared modern identity. This comes through strongly in a well-known celebration of the valor of “Lieutenant Shibakawa” by Getsuzō, where the tragic death of Shibakawa’s handsome young Russian adversary is really more striking than the hero’s dramatic pose. One of the most elegant and well-known Russo-Japanese War prints, also by Getsuzō, singles out the famous general Prince Kuropatkin as an almost perfect model of nobility and valor—charging forward on a handsome white horse to do battle even after his forces had been crushed.
“In the Battle of Nanshan, Lieutenant Shibakawa Matasaburō Led His Men Holding up a Rising Sun War Fan” by Getsuzō, 1904
“The Battle of Liaoyang: The Enemy General Prince Kuropatkin, Having Tactical Difficulties and the Whole Army Being Defeated, Bravely Came Forward into the Field to Do Bloody Battle” by Getsuzō, 1904
In an April 1904 print titled “A Great Victory for the Great Japanese Imperial Navy, Banzai!”, it is a bearded Russian admiral who holds center stage. He is doomed, clearly about to go down with his ship. But, again, his demeanor is brave and his fate obviously tragic. He is meant to be admired.
“A Great Victory for the Great Japanese Imperial Navy, Banzai!”
by Ikeda Terukata, April 1904

On 30 May 2019, approximately 250 professionals from across the WA family law sector gathered at the University Club of Western Australia for the WAFLPN Annual Conference. This year’s conference theme was “No One is Perfect: Exploring the connection between parenting capacity and children’s wellbeing”, which emerged from the feedback provided by attendees of the 2018 WAFLPN Annual Conference.
Tony Hansen’s daughters, Savannah and Montanna Hansen, opened the conference with a beautiful Welcome to Country which showcased the knowledge, talents and strong cultural connection of these young Noongar ladies. Tony Hansen then proceeded to impart some knowledge on parenting from an Aboriginal perspective, particularly highlighting the childrearing and cultural practices which differ from non-Indigenous Australian norms and understandings.
Tony, Savannah and Montanna Hansen were the first recipients of this year’s speaker gifts – intricate wooden paddle boards hand-painted by Aboriginal Mental Health Worker and artist Sally-Anne Gamble.
Master of Ceremonies and WAFLPN Chair Rod West then welcomed the Honourable Justice Gail Sutherland, Chief Judge of the Family Court of Western Australia, to perform the opening address. Her Honour provided an insightful reflection on this year’s conference theme and spoke about the role of the Family Court in identifying risk factors for parents and children.
The former Chief Judge of the Family Court of Western Australia, the Honourable Stephen Thackray, followed with a presentation on the Jiji Nyirti project. Highlighting the barriers preventing Aboriginal people from accessing family law services, the Honourable Stephen Thackray spoke about how the Jiji Nyirti (little children) pilot project in Newman sought to provide a culturally appropriate wrap-around legal service. The presentation concluded with some feedback from clients who had accessed this “Helping Court” and a look ahead at the future of the project.
Building on everything that had been shared thus far, Rohan Collard from Wungening Aboriginal Corporation talked about the various considerations that need to be taken into account when assessing the parenting capacity of Aboriginal parents and carers. Rohan provided valuable advice on working effectively with Aboriginal clients and emphasised the role of practitioners in supporting a culturally competent service system.
After a short morning tea break filled with lively discussion, delegates returned to the auditorium to hear from keynote speaker Rose Cuff, Statewide Coordinator of the FaPMI (Families where a Parent has a Mental Illness) Program in Victoria. Drawing on her extensive professional experience, Rose spoke about the importance of engaging and building positive relationships with parents living with mental ill-health based on a shared understanding of parents’ and children’s needs. As part of her presentation, Rose shared videos from parents and children talking about their lived experiences, which enhanced audience understanding of parental mental ill-health and demonstrated the effectiveness of appropriate and timely support.
It was then time to hear the President of the Children’s Court, Judge Julie Wager. Judge Wager spoke passionately and candidly about the Protection and Care jurisdiction of the Children’s Court and her hopes for future reform to support a more therapeutic court model.
After a varied and exciting first half of the conference, it was time to head outside to enjoy the pleasant weather and a delicious hot lunch. The foyer was abuzz with lively chatter as delegates networked with fellow professionals and shared their learnings from the conference so far.
As the lunch hour drew to a close, delegates poured back into the auditorium to hear from the next keynote speaker, Dr Margaret Spencer from the University of Sydney. Dr Spencer delivered an energetic and informative talk about enabling justice for families where a parent has learning disabilities. She expertly incorporated historical context, past and current research, her personal and professional experiences, videos interviewing families about their lived experiences, and a discussion of actions undertaken at state, federal and international levels to provide a holistic overview of the topic.
Finally, audience members got to hear the Department of Communities perspective on Parenting Capacity Assessments from Senior Consultant Psychologist Dr Veronica Edwards. As someone who has completed and supervised Psychology staff in the completion of Parenting Capacity Assessments, Dr Edwards provided a valuable perspectives that helped delegates situate the issues discussed throughout the conference within current policies and practices.
After another short tea break, delegates returned to the auditorium for a closing panel discussion with Judge Wager, Dr Veronica Edwards, Rose Cuff, Dr Margaret Spencer and the Honourable Stephen Thackray. Stephen Clarke expertly moderated the panel discussion, curating a selection of questions submitted by delegates via the conference mobile application throughout the day.
Too soon, the day drew to a close, marking the end of another successful WAFLPN annual conference. The WAFLPN Steering Committee sincerely thanks everyone who attended the conference in Perth, participated in one of the livestream events at Geraldton and Carnarvon, or livestreamed the conference from home. We invite you to provide feedback to assist us in planning for next year’s conference and look forward to you joining us for our conference in 2020.
If you missed the WAFLPN Conference this year, you can access speaker presentations, video recordings and additional materials shared by presenters on the Members Section of our website.

Construction of Anzac Station
January 23, 2021 460 views0
The Anzac Station is currently under construction on St. Kilda Road.
The cut and cover method, using the ‘top down’ approach, is the main method which will be used for the construction of this station.
The walls of the station will be built into the ground through a series of diaphragm walls, or D-walls. The top few meters of the station box, will be excavated by digging tools, as soon as setting the walls of the station. The roof of the station box will be built using a new permanent concrete slab at this level. Once the roof is located, an impermanent acoustic shed will be installed over the northern end of the station box and digging of the station will take place 24/7 under the roof slab and acoustic shed.
Some of the construction activities in south of the Yarra River will also be supported by Anzac Station. In May 2020 the Millie and Alice, two tunnel boring machines, were assembled independently from Anzac Station. While the Millie broke through at the eastern tunnel entrance in South Yarra in September 2020, the Alice broke through in October 2020.
Before re-launching the TBMs for starting excavation towards the new underground station at the southern end of Swanston Street, TBMs will be carried back to Anzac Station.
Significant construction activities for Anzac Station include:
Tree protection and removal
Relocation of underground services such as water, sewerage, gas, power and telecommunications
Establishment of the tunneling support site at Edmund Herring Oval
Reconfiguration of Kilda Road to allow traffic, trams and cyclists to keep flowing around the construction site
TBM launch and support site
Excavation of the station box and construction of a diaphragm wall
TBM launch
Structural works including the station entrance connections
The trucks and other construction traffic, will be transferred straightly between the site and Kings Way/CityLink using the construction traffic routes for the St. Kilda Road extent.
Construction forecast 2020/2021
A five years’ period is expected for the construction activities in the Anzac Station precinct. Maybe, the Surface disruption will be shorter than the overall construction time. Project wide rail systems installation will occur after this. Melbourne’s complicated ground conditions and the scale and complexity of the Metro Tunnel construction, cause the expected timelines for this project. Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) and the construction contractors will effort to render the project to Victorians as early as possible while sustaining the highest safety and quality standards.

Crimes on the Coast
The Old Rep
Anyone who has followed the Whitehall farce that is Brexit will know that if the British are good at anything, we do daft like no one else, and New Old Friends do daft to perfection.
I first came across them with the hilarious Crimes Against Christmas in Lichfield Garrick’s studio and they are perhaps a tad more sophisticated these days – after all they have been allowed on a stage - but just as silly in this latest adventure.
It is a tale set in a luxury hotel on an island off the English coast populated by a cast of 15, but, sadly, one assumes, the budget only stretched to four actors, plus a collection of poles, coat hangers and stands. It meant lots of costume changes at speeds even Clark Kent would have been pushed to match.
Written by company founders Feargus Woods Dunlop and Heather Westwell, they have managed to make daft interesting way beyond sketch length. It is a script that is amusing, witty and inventive with some deliciously funny crimes against the English language thrown in with its play on words.
References to the beach and a request to focus are two moments that would have even the comatose chuckling as would a brief explanation of the subtle difference between diving and acting when it came to former actress, now wolrd champion diver and always good time girl, Abigail Peavey.
Her great rival is American diver Selina Bellman, while love interest for Major Bryce Peavy, Abigail’s husband, is Rose Wentworth, who bears a remarkable similarity not only to the two divers, but also to the three policemen, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub, moonlighting from Trumpton no doubt. It is not that surprising though as Hannah Genesius plays the lot of them as well as sweeping up, literally, as new maid Maggie McAllister.
It is a lovely performance with part of the fun being that it is the same actor, sometimes leaving by one door and entering by another in seconds, with Genesius doing a fine job with accents and voices, particularly with the three PCs who are all on stage at once.
Major Peavey, meanwhile, who once killed a man - did he tell you that yet? – is up market, old school gallant, when he is not being the eccentric explorer Nelson Cholmondeley who wishes to be left alone, or Irish, hell and damnation, sex obsessed priest, Father Nathan Ginnel, who was not hiding.
Rose and little(ish) Lucien
Peavey’s son is Lucien, who one assumes is a distant cousin of Lord Farquaar in Shrek. Lucien dabbles in not so much black as blue magic, in the hands, and very small feet, of Jon-Paul Rowden, who has a day job as Michael Redwood, drunken lothario and fiancé of the up-market, demure Rose. He lounges around looking for wine, or at least the contents of his hip flask, women and . . . well he is not that bothered about song, much like a wild animal . . looking for wine, women . . . etc
When he is not in hedonistic mood he runs the hotel as manager, waiter and cushion plumper Alvaro Alcazar, having learned English presumably in Torquay from Manuel, and to prevent him getting bored, the script also demands he arrives as Insp Aquafresh, a dour Scot, to investigate a murda, which I think is Taggartspeak for murder.
And pulling it all together is Artemis Arinae who one suspects to be a distant Dutch cousin of Miss Jane Marple and probably closely related to Hercule Poirot, judging by the accent. She is of course the world’s most famous civilian detective, also known as Ashley Christmas who gives her theatrical charge an enthusiastic life of her own.
Incidentally this is the second coming of Artemis. The original was Crimes Under The Sun which was so successful it came to the attention of the Agatha Christie Estate and, as any civilian detective could see, the title was close to Christie’s novel Evil Under The Sun, resulting in a friendly request to change the name so, as in a typical English summer, the sun vanished over the coast.
I could explain the plot which involves sunken treasure, a dead fiancé, bits on the side, two dead bodies. . . possibly and 15 people on stage at once . . sort off, but you would quickly get bored, so just go and see it. You won’t be disappointed . . . and for those of you who prefer musicals, there is even a song thrown in as well.
It’s fun, clever, hilarious at times, witty, naughty and above all, gloriously, unashamedly daft with some lovely comic touches. If you don’t guffaw, or at the very least smile, then ask the person next to you to check your pulse.
Directed by James Farrell it causes mayhem at the Old Rep to 05-10-19 and then goes on the run, sorry, on tour. Find out where at Newoldfriends.com.

Home Industry News Press Release PR: Foundryside, by Robert Jackson Bennett
PR: Foundryside, by Robert Jackson Bennett
May 22, 2018 Press Release
Master fantasy novelist Robert Jackson Bennett, who has just been named a finalist for the 2018 Hugo Award for Best Series and the 2018 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. He’s is at it again with the first book in a series that will top everything he’s done before. With FOUNDRYSIDE (Crown; on sale August 21, 2018), Bennett brings us a nimble-witted, complex female protagonist who uses her strange gifts to survive in a world where magic–for all its glorious uses–has become an instrument of economic control. What happens when magic and capitalism collide?
In the past, Bennett has been lauded for breathing fresh life into the genre and for his clever explorations of politics, power dynamics, and social systems: The Seattle Times called City of Stairs “an entertaining yet thought-provoking experiment in racial reversals” and the New York Times Book Review wrote, “The book is labeled epic fantasy, but there’s no hint of staid European medievalism in its pages.” Now, in FOUNDRYSIDE, Bennett once again brings his trademark combination of imaginative world-building and a fast-paced plot, with an undercurrent of social conflict.
Magic can be monetized. That’s a fact in Tevanne, a city that runs on industrialized magic. The city has grown rich thanks to its mastery of a magical technology known as “scriving.” Or more precisely, the four merchant houses who monopolize that technology have grown rich. Sancia Grado, a former slave whose ordeals have made her an unnaturally talented thief, steals from these elite houses to survive. When she finds herself in possession of a powerful magical artifact, she must form an unlikely alliance to confront a common threat–a plot that would let Tevanne’s masters overwrite reality itself. The mechanics of the magic system in FOUNDRYSIDE are ingeniously based on computer coding and hacking, a parallel sure to delight tech-obsessed readers. And for those looking for a romance, Sancia’s budding love interest is–refreshingly–not the one you might expect.
The first in an ambitious new fantasy series from Robert Jackson Bennett, FOUNDRYSIDE will resonate with readers who love sharp, socially interested fantasy authors like N.K. Jemisin; clever magic system builders like Brandon Sanderson; and masters of faction-based warfare like George R.R. Martin.

Timber Load Lines
in T
Timber Load Lines. Special timber load lines can be used only when a ship carrying a cargo of timber on deck complies with the Load Line Rules.
For the carriage of timber as deck cargo, the IMO “Code of Practice for Timber Deck Cargoes” must be followed.
The timber deck cargo must be compactly stowed, lashed and secured. It must not interfere in any way with the navigation and necessary work of the ship or with the provision of a safe margin of stability at all stages of the voyage, regard being given to additions of weight, such as those due to absorption of water and to losses of weight, such as those due to consumption of fuel and stores.
During the winter season the height of the timber deck cargo above the weather deck may not exceed one third of the extreme breadth of the ship. At other times the regulations do not prescribe any limit. The deck load may be built up to any height, consistent, of course, with the general requirements of safety and stability, and must not exceed the designed maximum permissible load on the weather decks and hatches. The height of the deck cargo should be restricted so that the visibility from the navigation bridge is not impaired and any forward facing profile of the timber cargo on deck does not present overhanging shoulders to a head sea.
Ship’s personnel must also be protected and, if timber cargo is carried on deck, guard rails or guard lines must be provided on each side of the deck cargo, together with a lifeline to allow the crew to move along the surface of the timber over the length of the ship. The IMO “Code of Safe Practice for Ships Carrying Timber Deck Cargoes” contains many more guidelines, all aimed at overall safety.
The special timber load lines are marked on the ship’s sides as follows (the “L” standing for “lumber”, another word for wood):
LS= The Summer Timber Load Line indicated by the upper edge of a line.
LW= Winter Timber Load Line.
LWNA= The Winter North Atlantic Timber Load Line. This is level with the WNA Line.
LT=The Tropical Timber Load Line.
LF= The Fresh Water Timber Load Line in Summer.
LTF= The Fresh Water Timber Load Line in the Tropical Zone.
In all cases the freeboard is indicated by the vertical distance from the upper edge of the deck line to the upper edge of the load line in question. The lumber freeboard is less than the normal summer freeboard to indicate that the timber may add to the ship’s superstructure volume and thus improve the reserve buoyancy.

Award Winner!
On 4 October, the management team of Croydonites Festival attended the Croydon Business Awards and walked away with the award for Cultural Impact! This was a wonderful surprise and a great night out. The five other finalists were a formidable bunch, so we felt very honoured. Huge thanks to the Croydon Business Awards, Willmott Dixon and White Label.
Take a bow...
We have waved goodbye to the last audience member, returned the technical equipment and raised a glass to the artists. Now it's time to doff our cap to our enthusiastic audience who turned out in pretty healthy numbers to see the dramatic, the operatic and everything in between! Thank you for your support.
So what did we learn this year? Here are our top five lessons for 2018:
1. There's an audience in Croydon for a really wide range of theatre, and we managed to find some of you! Still work to be done though.
2. A good image is essential , especially if you are a new kid on the block. Hand on heart, not a single show in the festival disappointed us, many exceeded expectation, but audiences are slow to appear when the image doesn't tell the full story. We kinda knew this already to be fair.
3. Sometimes camera shutters are really loud.
4. Always, always, always check every corner of the venue before you start the show. We learned this the hard way and are still apologising to some disappointed audiences members who missed the start of one show.
5. Croydon makes a fantastic backdrop for immersive theatre. It played a leading role in Land of Nod and nearly stole the show.
So that's it for another year, however, we'll be staying active all year round, posting information about up and coming performances in Croydon and reviewing work we've seen around London, so keep coming back!

CroydonWrites
UPDATE: all the CroydonWrites reviews are now published on this site.
We tried out something new this year, a critical writing project called CroydonWrites. An open call solicited interest from six local writers who have been watching all the shows and working with Tom Black (an editor at the Croydon Citizen), to help hone their skills. The reviews will get their own page on this website (eventually) and some have already started appearing in the Croydon Citizen, but we thought you might like to see what Rekha Shane had to say about Land of Nod, before it hits the stands:
Parabolic Theatre Company / Land of Nod
A dead body in a back alleyway, a man on the run, a drug ring with links to the occult; welcome to Land of Nod.
This is a two hour immersive theatre production in which the audience play members of the press (no journalistic experience required) who are helping the police in their investigations. But unlike conventional theatre you control what path to follow in this megalith of a production. With multiple characters and locations you’re told at the outset that you will only see about 20% of the show in its entirety. But it’s still hard not to pout like a diva when your fellow participants recount stories of where they’ve just been. Cut yourself some slack because you’ll have to reframe your ideas about theatre here. This isn’t about watching a whole plot unfold in front of you. This is about spontaneous, interactive theatre which you get to tinker with.
The show is delivered by a brilliant cast who take to their interactive roles with ease, swapping realistic banter with the audience as they play out their stories on the streets of Croydon.
If you’re looking for a night out with a difference then you couldn’t do much better than Land of Nod. Just remember, you can’t see it all tonight, but there’s always tomorrow. Now where’s that link to the box office again…?
Review by Rekha Shane
Land of Nod - how it all started and where we are now...
Three years ago a group of creatives got together at Matthews Yard and started working on an unusual project. At the time, none of us would have thought that we'd still be working on it now.
Land of Nod was an experiment in storytelling. The group of people who worked on the initial version in May 2015 were interested to see if we could make a piece of free-roaming immersive theatre that would work outside on the streets of Croydon. We wanted to see if we could give our audience the freedom to explore old town Croydon, sending them out in search of our story amidst all the background noise. Would they return empty handed, or would the thrill of the hunt produce theatrical gold?
We really didn't know, but we wanted to find out. We put a limited number of tickets on sale for a fiver each and hoped for the best. We had no idea whether it would be a thrilling adventure or a total disaster.
Three years later, we're doing it all again. That initial experimental run was not without problems, but it worked far better than anyone had dared to hope for. Not only did the audience find our story, but they held onto it tenaciously. The backdrop of Croydon came alive in an exciting way – because anything *could* be part of the story, everything *was* part of the story whether we intended it to be or not. Croydon became a character in our site-specific piece, and a very unpredictable one at that.
For us, creating a piece of theatre that takes place on the streets and blends in with the everyday is a thrilling exercise. Of course street theatre as a concept is not new, but our approach to it – telling a complicated branching interlocking narrative that takes places in multiple locations simultaneously outside on the streets – is quite unusual. Normally, street theatre performers work hard to gather a crowd and attract as much attention as possible. Our show is a hidden mystery, one that is unavailable to the uninitiated. Our work has to be inconspicuous – our performers rarely interacting with more than a handful of our audience at a time, and in such a way that the average passer by would not even consider that a performance was in progress.
At the centre of it all is a story that belongs to Croydon – that of a young man who has stabbed someone and is wanted by the police. We have worked closely in the past with Lives Not Knives, and more recently with Ment4 – both local charities devoted to giving Croydon teenagers better prospects - in developing a story that is all too familiar to Croydon residents, and based on a range of real life experiences.
In turn we have created a hyper-real experience. One where the audience gets to explore the local area while looking at it with new eyes. Our story, and our way of telling it, enable people to step outside their unconscious prejudices and empathise with a diverse range of characters. Our story and the real world blend together to the point where one finds it difficult to distinguish between the two. Come and join us this weekend, and see Croydon through a different lens.

Show and Tell (or slow and tell?)
Dear Jo,
I’m looking forward to meeting you on the 19th, hope you don’t mind missing a bit of the wedding....
We will have 45 minutes together, it’s not a lot of time, but we have all the time.
You said you were worried about taking things out of your bag in public, and I know how you feel. One of my students asked the other day “but what are you doing it for?” They should see me now, amid this muddled mess of paper on my floor as I scribble and scratch for the answers. I mean, the sorting part is easy: I find it calming, it’s a ritual. So there is a beauty in my chaos in getting ready, because this is exactly the point of us meeting: once our bags are emptied we signify the beginning of an order.
And please don’t worry, I will not be asking for specific things you don’t want to show me. I am saying, bring whatever you like! But I don’t know, we may not even think of our stuff by the end. I’m actually thinking of re-naming it Slow and Tell. And the whole event is the script really, and we can change any parts of it that we want to. Give up and go and get a coffee, if we want to. I think I may need your help to stay entirely focused on our actions.
People might watch us, they might not. My experience is that people don’t have time to stop and be curious. But if they are, I’ll talk to them. It’s a workshop in public navigation, that’s my part of the work.
The “work”...? Ha!. It’s 45 minutes of playtime, using our stuff to start a game. I mean, does it have to be this serious? I’m playing with the weight of the things that I think this is meant to be. I think I may need your help to loosen up.
I’ll be emailing you soon with some final bits of information, some instructions to gently lay around us.
I’m looking forward to meeting you to play this out, the waiting and uncertainty, the bodies in time and in public.
We should both feel that we have the right to stop.
And don’t worry, I will not be asking to take anything from you, I am heavy enough.
Written by Anita Wadsworth
OPERA FOR EVERYONE – you have to see it to believe it.
Opera has a certain stigma about it doesn’t it? If I ask a 16 year old hanging out with his mates in the centre of Croydon if he fancied going to some opera, I can already hear the laughter. If I went into the Whitgift Centre and asked the same question to the 20 year old working in a coffee shop, while they may be more receptive, I imagine the reply to be that they couldn’t afford it, or it’s not really their thing.
It’s these responses that Pop Up Opera try very hard to counter, in fact it is in having experienced these responses that Pop-Up Opera first came about. As a professional opera singer herself Clementine Lovell was no stranger to friends and family not being present at her performances because opera was not their cup of tea. But rather than accept this and perform to an audience of strangers in theatre after theatre, she decided to bring opera home and prove to them that it could be their thing…And prove it she did! Pop-Up Opera now perform three different productions a year, touring to around 90 venues and if you look around the room you will see a mix of all ages and backgrounds which makes us very happy!
So what makes Pop-Up Opera different? Alongside the unique spaces, we immerse the audience, performing amongst them, bringing the action to life - so as you can imagine being that close, our singers have to be brilliant actors too, which they are. While we break convention with our venues, humour and captions, we always sing in the original language. This we are very strict on as while we want to bring opera to everyone, we are true to the art and the music and will never change that, which is why regular opera goers love us too. Don’t worry though, there are captions so you’ll never get lost. When needed we will give direct translations but otherwise we use artistic license and can sometimes give just one word to sum up a song, or modern day reference, or even just an emoticon. With the incredible music, staging and brilliant acting, sometimes that is all that is needed!
So why not give us a try as we come to Croydon in May. We will be performing a Mozart Double Bill: Der Schauspieldirektor & Bastien und Bastienne. I am sure that most of you are familiar with the name Mozart but may not be familiar with these operas so let me tell you in a few words: The first, Der Schauspieldirektor, is the story of a small opera company casting for their upcoming production. Budgets are tight, too many divas are in one room, and emotions run high! Expect to hear some impressive vocal acrobatics as candidates battle it out for the main role!
The second tells the tale of a young couple whose relationship is riddled with adolescent distrust and jealousy. They seek the advice of a questionable “relationship counsellor”, who confidently blags his way through various guidance and solutions… I won’t tell you the outcome, but both stories are comedies!
We’ll be with you on Thursday 17th May as part of the Croydonites Festival at St Andrews Community Hub - see you there!
Written by Emily Salmon at Pop-Up Opera
It's all about to kick off...
Only nine sleeps until the start of the 3rd edition of Croydonites Festival. Got your ticket yet? I'm afraid you've missed the early bird cheap seats and some shows are close to selling out, but don't worry there's still plenty to see and plenty of space for everyone.
But maybe you're not sure what to book for? Here's my simple guide to choosing...
1. Are you a risk taker? Not easily offended? Do you like to be surprised or immersed?
Then Scottee's BRAVADO could be for you; or if you like to be part of the action then go for Parabolic's Land of Nod, or Vinicius Salles' Glitch.
2. Looking for drama to challenge or provoke?
Gill Manly's Radio Apocalypse or Natasha Marshall's Half Breed could be right up your strasse!
3. Out for a bit of fun? Like a bit of dance with your comedy?
Sarah Blanc is the woman for you, along with her Feminist Boner, and local surrealists DISCO DISCO.
4. Want to take it easy? Like a relaxed and calming approach?
Check out the double bill from Croydon based Anusha Subramanyam and SLiDE, or Anita Wadsworth's Show and Tell.
5. More of a traditionalist?
Easy...Pop Up Opera are bringing a Mozart double bill to St Andrews Church. This company are committed to bringing opera to the masses and offer a contemporary twist on everything they do.
6. Film buff?
Come on a walking tour of Hollywood film locations (in Croydon) with the irrepressible Richard DeDomenici followed by the premiere of American Assassin: Redux filmed in it's original Croydon location with local Croydonites.
Or maybe pick a couple from different categories? We've done our best to offer something for all tastes. Come and find me in the bar afterwards and let me know what you think!

We've been planning the third festival for some time now and it will finally be announced on 14 February. It's bigger than we anticipated - 10 different performance programmes, 12 artists and companies, 7 of them from Croydon. We're using some new and unusual venues and there's a very diverse range of work, as you would expect. Everything from personal memoir to pop-up opera, immersive to intimate, disturbing to dramatic. The programme features four world premieres, an Edinburgh festival hit, a film to be made on location in Croydon (commissioned by Croydonites) and a work presented by one of the UK's leading black theatre companies and a very prestigious central London venue. Curious? We hope so.
Our thanks to: Arts Council England and Croydon Council
The Biggest Show on Earth...
In preparation for the next festival, Croydonites HQ decamped to Edinburgh this summer in search of brave new performance to challenge, provoke and entertain. We weren’t disappointed.
Armed with a teenager and a pensioner, we sat through 25 shows from comedy to cabaret, drag to drama and performance to, well more performance. Summerhall was our venue of choice, a former veterinary college that showcases work from around the world each August.
We were very lucky to get a ticket for Sh!t Theatre, who visited Croydonites this March, with their new work Dollywould. Full of their trademark comical songs, they managed to coalesce a homage to Dolly Parton with the story of Dolly the sheep via a research institute for dead bodies in the USA. It was almost sold out before the run even started, and once it was nominated for a Total Theatre Award, tickets were like gold dust. There is nothing quite like them, so never pass up a chance to see one of their shows.
Another Summerhall gem and eventual winner of a Total Theatre Award was Rachel Mars’ Our Carnal Hearts. Delving into the deadly sin of envy, the audience were asked to confess their own secret jealousies, be they siblings with big houses, friends with new babies, or colleagues with better paid jobs… The work reached a finale when Mars was (reluctantly) beaten by two audience members with rubber chickens in a Guatemalan ritual (they use real chickens in Guatemala), that has its origins in absolving sibling rivalry. With a start time of 11am, this was a great way to start an Edinburgh Fringe day.
Of course we did leave Summerhall on occasion. We saw Jack Rooke at Underbelly, whose follow up piece to Good Grief - Happy Man - sees him taking on the issue of male suicide. He is brutally honest, beguiling and very funny. Even some pretty heavy swearing didn’t put off the pensioner who was thoroughly charmed. That’s the second time he’s made me cry, nay bawl.
Katy Baird didn’t shy away from difficult subjects either in Workshy. Documenting all the jobs she’s done in the last 25 years; ranging from flipping burgers, frying fish, selling drugs and entertaining men via a webcam. The audience were treated to chips half way through the show and then another surprise involving a wine glass which had some audience members open mouthed. I won’t ruin it for you.
Kin are a circus company, who have teamed up with Ben Duke, from Lost Dog for their latest work, that graced the Underbelly Circus Hub stage. Superb physical prowess combined with subtle clowning and a sinister subplot had the audience on their feet – this one was a hot favourite with the teenager.
Ellie Dubois’ No Show was another circus performance, this time in a smaller venue (back in Summerhall) that displayed equally impressive physical skills from a female company of five. Some carefully placed lines about what is and isn’t expected of women also gave us a genial insight in to the male dominated world of circus.
Kate O’Donnell who featured in the first Croydonites Festival, has a new work - You’ve Changed - produced by Trans-Creative, a company led by transgender artists. The show charts her transition from male to female at the turn of this century, when there was no template and very little support. Impeccable storytelling is blended with wit and humour and we never feel sorry for Kate, instead we admire her determination and celebrate what she's achieved.
There were so many amazing shows…Liz Aggiss, the self-titled grand dame of the bus pass generation proved she still has it in Slap and Tickle; and Shit Faced Shakespeare, where a member of the cast gets totally bladdered before the show, just so we can laugh at them, were so wrong and so funny. It hardly matters which play it was, but for the record this one was Romeo and Juliet. A Séance in a shipping container, in the pitch black, started off with some nervous laughter but turned into a terrifying rollercoaster ride which elicited screams from yours truly.
I should probably stop here, but I can’t not mention Selina Thompson, who took a cargo ship from Europe to Africa then across the Atlantic, to chart the terrifying journey of slaves in the 19th century. In Salt she examines what it means to be part of a diaspora, and describes the racism she’s suffered on her travels. Her Brummy lilt is warm and reassuring but we don’t escape the pain inflicted on millions over hundreds of years – and take away a piece of salt to remind us of it always. The work deservedly won her a number of accolades including awards from Total Theatre and The Stage.
Can’t wait for next year…

For Whom The Web Rocks
Puerto Rico - Rules - A New Round
You are in: Home > For Whom The Web Rocks > Puerto Rico

A New Round
After the last player in the round takes a role and all players complete the action, if any, of the role, the round ends. Now, the governor takes three doubloons from the bank, placing one each on the three role cards that were not selected during the round. The doubloons are placed regardless of the number of doubloons already on the cards. Role cards with more doubloons will be more attractive to the players as they get the doubloons in addition to the privilege of the card. For example, a player choosing a prospector card with 2 doubloons will get, in total, 3 doubloons for his effort.
Finally, the players return the role cards they selected to the area next to the game board and the governor gives the governor card to his left neighbour. The new governor begins the next round by selecting a role card, and so the game continues. Place 1 doubloon on each of the three unused role cards.
Return all used role cards.
Give the governor card to the next player in clockwise order, who start the next round...
The current Governor is shown by a red border around the player's area. Other players have a green border.
When a role earns extra doubloons, this is shown as follows: .

Suicidal Florida Father Kills Two Children & Self in House Fire
Posted on April 14, 2020 April 14, 2020 by Ann Blake-Tracy
Kaeden Vasquez, 13 Kailani Vasquez 10
Antidepressants?! Stop Smoking Meds?! Sleeping Meds?! Tamiflu?! & even Miralax sold over the counter for constipation?! have all been reported to produce such deadly reactions…
This Florida father sent a suicidal note then…According to a GoFundMe campaign set up to help pay for funeral expenses, the children’s father “was not in his right state of mind and took their life and his. We are still in shock and unable to comprehend why this happened.”
Most patients who become suicidal on these drugs remain completely unaware that when they attempt to overdose using the medication they could suffer psychiatric reactions of suicidality, hostility or psychosis where they can hurt those who mean the most to them BEFORE they drop dead from the physically toxic effects of the medication which they thought would just cause them to drop dead. They are also not aware that their serotonergic medication could cause them to go into the REM Sleep Disorder where they will act out nightmares in a sleepwalk state which has long been known to produce both murder & suicide.

PLEASE GO TO OUR MAIN WEBSITE AT www.drugawareness.org TO BECOME BETTER INFORMED ABOUT THESE DRUGS & THEIR DEADLY POTENTIAL REACTIONS IN ORDER TO KNOW HOW TO AVOID THEM. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IS TO NEVER EVER ABRUPTLY CHANGE YOUR DOSE!!!

Florida Doctor Loses It When Questioned On His Medicating
Posted on February 16, 2019 February 16, 2019 by Ann Blake-Tracy
No big surprise coming out of Florida where there are SO MANY on antidepressants it would appear that a prescription for an antidepressant is a requirement for residency! These drugs are notorious for producing rage & violent outbursts!!!
And considering that widespread use in Florida they likely have more than the average of 75% of doctors taking antidepressants.
I personally already have several antidepressant – induced murder cases there, one by a doctor & one by a police chief & another doctor who suffered gender dysphoria from them & lost his family, practice & everything else as he began to think he was homosexual like in that big case in France the fellow won against that Parkinson’s drug so similar to Prozac.
www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2240249/Didier-Jambart-said-Parkinsons-drug-gay-sex-addict-awarded-160k-French-court.htm
l would not want to confront one of these drugged up doctors! It is safer to just go around them to contact the supervisor & hope you can find a drug free supervisor you can actually talk to.
The patient advocate has every reason for concern since for three decades medications used as prescribed, not abused, have been the number 3 cause of death in America! Everyone needs to be questioning any & every medication especially when they have drugged up doctors handing them out!!!
CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta (Neurologist) Weighs In On School Shootings & Antidepressants
Dr. Sanjay Gupta is an American neurosurgeon who serves as associate chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia and as assistant professor of neurosurgery at the Emory University School of Medicine.
He is also a media personality on health-related issues, and best known as CNN’s multiple Emmy Award-winning chief medical correspondent, hosting the network’s weekend health program Sanjay Gupta, M.D., and makes frequent appearances.
And he is one of the finest physicians I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Besides that he loves the title of my book on antidepressants and all aspects of serotonin, Prozac: Panacea or Pandora? As the book examines the research to learn if these drugs are the panacea (cure all) the drug manufactures’ marketing would have us believe as doctors hand them out or every ailment known to man , or are they a Pandora’s Box that once opened unleashing all i’s terrible plagues could never be contained again? From the story of Pandora’s Box: “All at once every evil and spiteful thing flew out like a swarm of insects infesting the Earth with pain and sorrow…t:-) hanks to Pandora life on Earth was never quite so joyful ever again.”)
Dr. Gupta as a neurologist and a professor of neurosurgery certainly would understand more about the brain & brain function than most doctors would. With that in mind LISTEN now as Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks out about the connection between school shootings and antidepressants after the Sandy Hook school shooting….

Mother Kills Daughter, 2, After Hearing Biblical Story of Abraham
Posted on June 2, 2014 June 2, 2014 by admin | No Comments
Kimberly Dawn Lucas
Little doubt this is an antidepressant-induced case. Besides what the mother did in killing one child, attempting to kill another and then attempting to take her own life – all indicating that to be the case, she and her ex-partner were both mental health counselors and she was also gay and a VERY LARGE MAJORITY of gays are on antidepressants. And in many cases what is not being told to patients is that the change in sexuality is often an adverse reaction to an antidepressant or other medication.
One of my very first cases in Florida was that of a married doctor who was shocked that he began having homosexual sex after having adverse reactions to Prozac. He also became alcoholic and developed an addiction to cocaine as well.
And one of my very worst cases in Florida was a married man who suddenly after beginning the use of an antidepressant flew to NYC to have a sex change surgery. A month later he returned home to apologize to his wife and through tears told her he had no idea why he had done this.
Antidepressants are not the only medications that can cause this change in sexuality. Please see this case we posted a while back out of France where a drug, Requip, which is similar in action to antidepressant but given for Parkinson’s symptoms had this reaction and sued the drug makers for it: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/didier-jambart-man-became-gay-1463143
What happened in this is just like the Jimmy Stewart movie from the 50′s that I included in my book – the movie Bigger Than Life, is a real life story about a mild mannered school teacher who went into a manic psychosis from steroids before doctors realized the drugs could do that. Now it is being repeated worldwide daily by the use of antidepressants. Better check her meds to see if she was on the same ones Andrea Yates was given at maximum dose before she drowned her five children. If you are interested there is an entire database of similar cases documented at www.ssristories.net.

Medicated & Depressed FL Mother Who Killed Her 2 Teens Seemed “Off”
Posted on January 18, 2014 January 18, 2014 by admin | No Comments
Jacqueline, Alexander and Jennifer Berman
Jennifer Berman emailed her ex-husband on Monday to say that she intended to ‘do harm’. Mr. Berman rushed to the home only to find her body was later along with her children Alexander and Jacqueline who had all been shot dead at their Florida home in West Palm Beach. Jennifer Berman had killed them all.
From the clips below from several news articles listed we can see all of the typical clues that those of us who know what to look for would find. Those are highlighted in bold.
1…..”…another neighbor said he suspected something was wrong with Mrs Berman when he saw her over the weekend.
‘I looked into her eyes and she just had this weird look,” said 69-year-old Marian Sklodowski.
‘She had tried to sell me her house for a knockdown price because she wanted the money quick. I knew her very well, and I had never seen this look on her face.
‘She was just off. There was nothing there behind the eyes. I told my wife, but she said I should not get involved.
‘I just wish I had said something now because we have this awful tragedy.’
2…..Their mother, Jennifer Berman, appeared “off” recently, according to neighbor Marian Sklodowski, who lives across the street. “The last time, compared to the first time, something was missing. Something was missing. What was missing, I don’t know,” said Sklodowski.
“Just two days ago, when Sklodowski last saw and spot Jennifer Berman, he said, she appeared upset, disappointed and confused. “You can notice that, from the face, from the eyes, something was strange in her face,” said Sklodowski.
“Just across the street, neighbor Sheren Kirk also noticed something was not right as of late. “It’s shocking that it happened, but, I think, they had a lot of stress,” said Kirk. “There’s been a divorce; there’s been financial problems.”
“A few houses down from Kirk, resident Tim Frank said after the divorce, Jennifer Berman seemed distraught about the future and her kids. “She anticipated that it was going to be very tough for her to move on,” said Frank.
3…..”Two of Jennifer’s cousins who didn’t want to be named said Berman previously threatened to harm herself, but never the children. Police said the morning of the shootings, Jennifer Berman sent emails to Richard Berman and other family members and said she was going to harm herself and the children.
Kaufman said on behalf of Richard Berman that if Richard ever thought Jennifer Berman was a danger to the kids, Richard “would have gone to the end of the earth to stop it.”
“Jennifer Berman was devastated after the loss of her father, grandmother and most recently, her mother, said a cousin who wished not to be named. Jennifer Berman, who was working as a caretaker for a 99-year-old man, had been depressed for a while. The cousin believed she was on medication but wasn’t sure if it was a sleeping aid or for depression.
“Jennifer Berman, an only child, felt alone when she was left without the three people closest to her, the cousin said, and her depression developed as the deadline neared to leave her home. Jennifer Berman’s mother owned the home on Pershing Way and when Jennifer and Richard were going through financial troubles, they moved in. The cousin said Jennifer felt the house was her last connection to her mother.
“Her mother and her were very close,” she said. “I don’t think she would have done any of this if her mother was still alive. I feel like because she was leaving her mom’s home I think the depression turned into psychosis.”
[This is often a time when medication doses are increased or changed – a time when the FDA warns that an abrupt change in dose (whether up or down) can produce suicide, hostility or psychosis.]
“The cousin said Jennifer Berman had previously threatened suicide and was battling with the thought of it ”

June 2015 - Wounded Warrior Games
During this last June, Project Enduring Pride (PEP) had the opportunity to work with and assist in the Wounded Warrior Games put on by the DOD. The games held from 19-28 June, were held at Quantico Marine Base, Virginia.
PEP volunteers executed the support as part of the mission statement to assist and aide our wounded warriors while on the Hospital wards, in transition and recovery, re-entry back into society and acquiring additional work skills.
PEP volunteers worked with the Army and Air Force Teams in helping to provide drinks and assistance to the athletes at the events, which were numerous. For long-time PEP volunteers, who have been with the programs for about ten years, seeing some of the athletics again was very heart-felt. Several Army wounded warriors were helped by PEP when they were treated at the former Army Walter Reed in DC. It was truly great to see the drive these Warriors retained despite their injuries. Truly amazing to see the sight impaired runners take the field and run their races.
PEP supplied some 140 bottles of “re-hydrate fluids” and Gator Aide to the field and track participants during “Black Flag” conditions. Addition cases of water were purchased and supplied for the later games as the temperature began to subside.
Working with the Wounded Warriors in sports was one the biggest highlights of the summer 2015 for PEP.

Mukund and Chenthil were very good friends from childhood. They grew up together in a village near Tiruchirappalli. They came together to Chennai for higher studies. After post-graduation, both of them got jobs in Mumbai through campus recruitment. They settled in Mumbai.
Though they were close fiends, there were many differences between them. Mukund would not mind about telling lies. Chenthil would not utter a lie, even as a matter of joke.
Mukund was playful, outgoing and would spend too much. Chenthil was somewhat reserved, reticent and thrifty. Mukund would mingle with crowd, form superficial relationships and would not mind occasionally offending others. Chenthil was very slow but steady in forming friendships; would never offend others' feelings; and, if he ever unknowingly caused any inconvenience to others, he would go to them and profusely apologize.
Sometimes, because of such basic differences, arguments would arise between them. Mukund would usually make fun of Chenthil's behavior and cut jokes. Chenthil would try to prove Mukund wrong but mostly realizing its futility would give up and change the subject. Maybe, they were attracted because of such differences; their friendship was always stable. Most of the times, both of them were moderators for each other. In the company of Mukund, Chenthil used to become relatively more fun loving; Likewise, Chenthil's company would make Mukund somewhat temperate.
Both the friends used to go out on excursions on holidays. On a Friday evening, they decided to go to Pune and come back on Monday morning. There is a good express highway connecting both the cities. If one starts from Pune early in the morning, he can attend office in Bombay. They reached Pune on Friday night and stayed in a decent lodge. They had a nice time in Pune visiting some of the places of interest on Saturday and Sunday morning.
Sunday morning Mukund came up with a new idea. He said that they might leave after eating and go to Lonavala, a tourist spot on the way to Mumbai; they could leave early in the morning from Lonavala for Mumbai. Chenthil was initially against it. He did not believe in unplanned trips. He said, "After all we can visit Lonavala next week straight from Mumbai. There are many places to visit there and it may take time. Moreover we may find it difficult to find a decent place to stay for the night.” A Mukund said, "These things are not problems at all. Are we girls to be afraid of such things? We may have a nice time there and somehow reach Mumbai in time." Chenthil did not argue much and agreed to the change in program.
They reached Lonavala. The place was charming with salubrious climate. With the waterfalls, hillocks, greenery and so on, the place was immensely pleasant. They visited the Bhushi Dam and Sakhar Pathar, and Nagphani.
Nagphani is known also as Dukes Nose. The friends had to walk a long distance. First, they went to Khandala. It is a beautiful valley. The river Ulhas made the whole scene enchanting. The friends spent about three hours there, even without realizing the passage of time. From there they walked to Khopoli Water Electricity Center and then to Nagphani. Here a rock is penetrated oddly into the hill. Hence, it has the name Dukes Nose.
Several miles of walk had made the friends very tired. In every place, Mukund had overstayed and now they had to walk a long distance. Darkness set in earlier than they expected. The place, which seemed so charming a few minutes back, suddenly became lonely and threatening. It was then they realized that they were not sure of the route also. They started walking fast, hoping that they were on the right path. Under these circumstances, the time simply flies. When they noticed that the time was already 9 p.m. and that they were not even sure of the correct route to Lonavala, they became nervous.
No human being was at sight. To their consternation, they realized that there was no cottage or house nearby. There was no vehicle movement at sight. It became clear to them they had got into much trouble. They thought that they had walked in the wrong direction for long. The sounds of nocturnal animals were on the rise. On all directions, they were able to see vaguely, only thorny bushes and giant-sized rocks and trees. The path they were following became more and more invisible. Groping in darkness, catching hold of each other's hand, Mukund and Chenthil were moving aimlessly, without having any other alternative.
They had no idea how long they were walking. In the darkness, they could not even consult their watches. Anytime, any animal might pounce upon them and tear them to pieces. Mukund felt sorry for not having listened to the advice of his friend. Chenthil, as was his wont, started uttering prayers. Mukund, who would have made fun of him under normal circumstances, was walking silently.
Suddenly they could see a dim light at about a mile. It looked like a street light. The friends mustered all their strength and started walking in the direction of the light.
Soon they had reached the place. It looked like a deserted palace. But the garden around it was well-maintained. The friends thought that in such a big house, there should be a number of persons. Though the house was somewhat isolated, they could also see smaller houses nearby. The villagers ought to have gone to sleep in the early hours of night. The area was completely dark except the dim electric light they saw in the portal of the house.
They were afraid of the dogs. Hesitatingly they neared the front gate of the house and called, "Sir, Sir". There was no reply. They could not say whether there was anybody inside the house. The dim light that attracted them some time back, now failed to encourage them. In the depressing darkness around, this single light seemed to enhance the effect of the darkness, rather than dispelling it.
Chenthil seemed to be more in control. Slowly, he opened the front gate and walked to the inner gate. Forgetting they were in a different state, he called in Tamil, 'Ayya, ayya'. His shaky voice was strange to himself. But, an inner door opened. Another light inside the house came to life. The friends heaved a sigh of relief. Both of them became dumbfounded at what they saw.
There was a beautiful woman. A fair complexioned woman, a picture of culture, maybe in her early thirties or late twenties, with long hair flowing up to her knees, looked at them, without crossing the threshold. The inner gate and a clear thirty feet stood between them. But somehow, the friends felt like having been thunderstruck. Was it her beauty? Or the other worldliness of the surroundings? There was an unmistakable sadness in her wide eyes. Dressed in white linen, she stood there more like a marble statue. The dim but direct light that was reflecting on her face, made it appear that there was nothing else but her melancholic face.
For about two minutes that seemed like an age for them, silence prevailed. It appeared she had no intention of talking.
It was Chenthil, who recovered first and spoke. "Madam, we are from Mumbai. We came here for sight seeing. Having lost our way, we are here at this hour for finding a shelter till morning. At morning, we have to rush to Mumbai."
Lady: Do you see the footpath, visible just outside the gate to your left? If you take it, within a mile, you could reach a country road. From there if you turn right and walk five miles, you would join the main road. Within a furlong in the right, there is a bus stop. You can catch a bus or lorry going towards Mumbai.
The friends had actually lost half of what she said in the melody of her voice. It appeared as though the powerful sweet sound waves lifted them up and kept them floating in the mid-space. Again, it was Chenthil who recovered fast enough.
Chenthil: Madam, we are not familiar with this area. We are very tired and could not walk at all. If you allow us to stay here, we would be gone early in the morning, following the route shown by you. Please.
Lady: I understand your position. But I am alone here in this house. I have become a widow recently. If I allow you to stay here in the night hours, there sure will be a scandal against me. You please understand my position and go away.
All along Mukund was keeping silent. The happenings seemed to have enervated him completely. But after seeing the woman, who appeared like a divine being to him, he had become normal but the obvious gloom in her face stirred inexplicable emotions in his mind. He wanted to say something but could not. He had a peculiar desire to kiss her just below her black eyes. He desired to embrace her and drive away all her despondency. He felt as though the woman's eyes were piercing his outer being and ransacking his mind. He also heard Chenthil pleading with hope.
Chenthil: Madam, I am very sorry to hear about your position. Please also understand the precarious condition we are in. If you allow us, just to lie down for sometime, in the veranda, we would go out without bothering you, very early in the morning. We have not eaten anything and it seems to us impossible to walk further without some rest.
It was clear that the woman felt sorry for the youngsters. She thought for a few seconds and then nodded her head.
Lady: Okay, I cannot drive you out in the pitch darkness at this hour. You may sleep in the veranda. I shall also give you some fruits and milk. Kindly go as early as possible in the morning. New Moon is just six days ahead and so you will have moonlight from 2 O'clock in the morning."
Silently she brought a plate with four good-sized plantain fruits, a packet of chikki (coconut-candy for which Lonavala is famous) and two cups of warm milk. She also gave two mats with pillows. When they lay down, she went inside and the inner light went off.
For the friends, it was all a miracle. Just an hour back, they did not think that they could lie down safely somewhere. They thanked God and lay on the mats. Chenthil tried to recollect what the lady said about the path to the main road. He made a mental commitment to get up by 3 a.m. in the morning and to leave the place, before the villagers would get up. He told himself that they should not become a source of embarrassment to the kind lady of the house and went to sleep.
Early in the morning, it was Chenthil, who got up first. He woke up Mukund. Sound sleep for a few hours had done immense good to their body and mind. As the woman had told, there was moonlight, somewhat brightening the land. They got up, mentally conveyed thanks to their host, and started walking briskly taking the footpath mentioned by the woman.
A few months passed by.
It was a Sunday. Mukund had not yet gotten up as usual. Chenthil had finished his coffee and was going through the newspaper. A jeep came to a screeching halt in front of their house. It was a police jeep. A lawyer and another, who must be a police Inspector, got down from the jeep. Chenthil heard them enquiring the ground floor residents about him. When they informed them that Chenthil was available in the first floor, they came up.
After ascertaining that it was he whom they wanted, they asked him if on a given day a few months back, had he been to the neighborhood of Khandala and stayed there for a night. Chenthil's face became pale. The Inspector asked him if he knew the woman of the house where he stayed during the night.
Chenthil said, "Yes. But I was there only for a few hours and left early in the morning."
Inspector: Yes. We know all that. There is strong evidence for all that. You know, the lady is dead. And this is her lawyer.
They spoke to Chenthil for about five minutes and then gave him some papers.
Inspector: Okay, Chenthil, we are leaving. You cannot deny or refuse anything. She was a kindhearted person but she was in emotional turmoil. You will have to come to Lonavala tomorrow. Whatever has happened, we still hope that you would not try to evade law. Of course, you cannot do it.
Now Mukund had woken up. Understanding that there were visitors, he just sat up in his bed. He just had a glimpse of the police officer leaving. He also saw Chenthil rushing to him.
Chenthil: Mukund, I trusted you as my friend, now tell me the truth. What happened the other day, nay the other night?
Mukund: Which night?
Chenthil: Don't pretend. The other night, when we were foolishly loitering near Lonavala, what did you do?
Mukund: (Clearly Mukund had become nervous.) Why do you ask? I ... I did not do anything. You know, you only woke me up in the morning 'n we came back to Mumbai.
Chenthil: Mukund, for goodness’ sake, please do not test my patience. Did you go to meet her after I went to sleep? Don't bluff.
Mukund: (Now realizing that the secret has come out somehow) Yes, at that late hour, the lady had forgotten to bolt the door beyond the verandah. I had noticed it. So after you went to sleep, I went inside... 'n...
Chenthil: Oh, My God, 'n you gave her my name 'n address. Why? Is it right? 'n, you made her believe that it was I who did it to her? Is it right? How at all it occurred to you to do a thing like this? Is this the kind of friendship we have kept up all these years from our childhood?
Mukund: (Now coming to grips with the situation 'n understanding that something had gone seriously wrong 'n that Chenthil is in the soup in lieu of him) Yes. So what? You say always that you are very intelligent. Do something about it. Leave me alone. I am shifting from this place now itself. That is all between us.
Chenthil: Mukund, Is that you? Are you talking to me like this, after the friendship of all these years? I could not simply believe my ears!
Mukund: Yes, Yes, Yes. It is me 'n now I am ditching you. Do what you can. At least now, know that I am not as dumb as you believe. (Chenthil could not believe his eyes. Mukund was hurriedly packing his things 'n getting ready to leave once for all!)
Chenthil: Mukund, You have opened my eyes. Okay, get lost. Never see me again. But before leaving please know, what has happened in Lonavala.
Mukund: I DON’T CARE (Mukund was actually leaving.)
Chenthil: Okay, But still, let me just inform you,
Do you know what Chenthil informed Mukund?
The woman, who played host the other night, had died, leaving all her properties worth more than 100 crores, to Chenthil in her will.
