Working with purpose
You can't manage time, but you can make better decisions about how to use it. This workshop gives you the tools to get more out of your day!
"If you allow your whole self to be absorbed by the demands and agendas of a persecutory to-do list scribbled by others, you will quickly lose the very dimension of life that makes it liveable" - Josh Cohen
So true! We set off to work fully intending to give our best and get the most out of the day. But what happens? We become distracted by short term crises, other people's to-do lists, or we just lose sight of the big picture. We don't do it deliberately, but we often finish the day feeling exhausted, frustrated, and disappointed. We vow to do better tomorrow but instead, we spend our lives trying to catch up.
No one can manage time, but you can make better decisions about how to use it so this is a workshop about how you manage you. Previous participants have;
- cut hours from their working day
- renewed their commitment to self-care and personal well-being
- found the courage to delegate and seek support for their work
- found the motivation for their side-hustle
- identified ways to eliminate time-wasting habits from their daily routine
What will you discover?
The workshop will;
- remind you of what you are great at and the skills you should be making the most use of in your work
- help you reassess your objectives and how you can best work towards them
clarify what you want work to do for you and why you do it - how it supports your career and life aspirations
- give you insights into the compromises you are currently making in life to accommodate the demands of your work and the consequences of those compromises for you and those around you
You will leave with;
- actions you have identified which will help you make better use of your working time and keep you "on purpose"
- the one thing which you can action right away, and be held accountable for, which will make a big difference to your working day
- a realisation of how much control you have in how you organise yourself
- insight into the habits and beliefs which have held you back so far
- the motivation and commitment to do something different
- ideas, tips, inspiration, and encouragement from a supportive group and workshop leader
Also included;
- refreshments
- the working with purpose workbook
- a free gift
- a free follow up accountability call with the change agent to see how you are getting on with your key action

Evictions put on hold by Gov. Ducey
Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order delaying the enforcement of eviction action orders for renters impacted by COVID-19 Tuesday. The order applies to renters who are quarantining due to COVID-19 or are facing economic hardship as a result of the outbreak. It will remain in effect for 120 days.
"Nobody should be forced out of their home because of COVID-19," Ducey said in a news release. "This order is about protecting public health and providing relief to families impacted by this virus — whether through sickness or economic hardship. This is the right thing to do to support Arizona families during their time of need and prevent the spread of COVID-19."
On March 18, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced a suspension of all evictions for HUD-financed properties. On the same day, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to suspend foreclosures and evictions for at least 60 days due to the coronavirus national emergency.

Case Scenario: A 29 year-old man with a history of heroin abuse dies in respiratory failure due to a presumed heroin overdose, 6 hours after hospital admission despite resuscitative efforts including administration of multiple doses of naloxone. A UDS test is positive for benzodiazepines and negative for opiates and other illicit drugs of abuse. The death is reported and accepted by the local Medical Examiner (ME). Hospital admission blood and urine samples are additionally requested and conveyed to the ME's Office. An autopsy is performed along with testing of the hospital admissions samples. The cause of death: Acute intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl, acetylfentanyl, carfentanil, and alprazolam.
How comprehensive is your hospital lab's Urine Drug Screen? A myriad of obscure, clandestinely synthesized, highly potent, harmful, or rapidly fatal drug and medication analogues are not detected by standard urine drug screening tests used in many hospitals. These include fentanyl and fentanyl analogues, synthetic cathinones ("bath salts"), and synthetic marijuana ("K2", "Spice"). Furthermore, hospital urine drug screening tests are limited by the parameters of the actual testing kit and report the presence ("positive") or absence ("negative") of the drug, medication, or drug/medication category included in the panel. Furthermore and for many reasons, a positive result does not always indicate an acute intoxication and a negative result does not exclude one either. Screen tests on blood (i.e. ELISA blood panel) are a better gauge for toxicity but again, only for what is included in the panel. It is important to recognize the limitations of urine drug screening in order to optimize management of the toxidromic patient. Would the patient in the above scenario have benefited from administration of additional doses of naloxone? Consultation with the hospital's clinical pathologist or medical toxicologist who may recommend sample submission for testing at a more comprehensive reference laboratory, is optimal.
In contrast to hospital testing, postmortem forensic toxicology testing routinely involves comprehensive qualitative and quantitative testing of blood, urine, and other bodily fluids to aid the forensic pathologist in the determination of the cause, contributing factor(s), and the manner of many types of death. In addition to drug deaths, deaths resulting from motor vehicle accidents, falls, fires, over/under-medication, and homicidal and suicidal violence are included, often occurring after a period of hospitalization. In those instances, hospital admission blood and urine samples are particularly advantageous and will be requested if available. Intoxicants found in these samples would indicate a degree of intoxication closer to the actual time of intake and prior to infusion of resuscitative fluids, blood transfusions, metabolism, and the administration of medications. Under these conditions, intoxicants can become undetectable or otherwise uninterpretable due to the presence of low levels of parent drug and/or metabolites. Administration of medicines such as morphine and fentanyl during the terminal hospitalization can further confound interpretation and determination of the cause of death if based on results of testing of postmortem samples only.
More on this important topic can be found in Chapters 5 and 6 in Essentials of Death Reporting and Death Certification-Practical Applications for the Clinical Practitioner available on Amazon.com.

Deirdre Kessler. Illustrated by Brenda Jones.
Volume 16 Number 1
Deirdre Kessler, a resident of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, has written a picture book for young children called Lobster in My Pocket. She has previously published the novels The Private Adventures of Brupp ¹ and Brupp on the Other Side ² as well as A Child's Anne ³, a popular retelling for very young children of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic, Anne of Green Gables.Set in an east-coast fishing village, Lobster in My Pocket tells the story of Lee, a lonely young girl who discovers Lucky, a talking lobster, in one of the crates on the wharf. Lee sets Lucky free and Lucky in return helps save her from drowning in a wild storm after she falls off the wharf. The east-coast setting is realistically portrayed, but the characters are not as well developed. The parents are merely flat background figures, and although it is implied that Lee has a special relationship with her grandmother, their relationship seems to lack warmth and understanding. The magic of the encounter with the talking lobster is undercut by the prosaic, repetitive language and the various themes running through the story. The loneliness of the child, Lee's friendship with her grandmother, the magic of Neptune and the talking lobster, commercial lobster fishing, and the disappearance and return of Lee's cat Nosey are themes which are part of the narrative; however, the narrative doesn't flow very easily from one to the other. The cover illustration is colourful and attractive, and the gray, white and blue line drawings by Montr&eACUTE;al artist Brenda Jones accurately reflect an east-coast setting. The print is large and readable; however, there is an uneven balance between text and illustration. The placement of the text on the page is distracting in some instances. Lobster in My Pocket is suitable for a primary school aged audience. It is a good story to begin discussions with children on friendship, loneliness, unusual pets, fishing, and life in an east-coast community. We need more Canadian picture books for children with an east-coast setting!

Indian spiced chicken kebabs
- Serves: 4
- Cooking Time: 20 mins
- Course: Main Course
- Cuisine: Fusion
- 12 boneless chicken thighs
- 200g Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 3 lemons, juiced
- 50g harissa paste
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp ground fenugreek
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 kebab skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes if they are wooden
1. For the marinade, in a large bowl combine the yogurt, harissa, lemon juice, garlic, spices, coriander and harissa. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs and coat evenly. Cover the bowl and allow the chicken to marinate for at least one hour or overnight. The longer the better.
2. Remove the chicken from fridge and skewer three thighs on each stick. Try to almost weave the chicken onto the skewer, making sure each thigh has been spiked through three times. This will ensure the chicken will stay on the skewer throughout grilling.
3. You should now have four skewers with three chicken thighs on each. Make sure to leave at least eight centimetres at each end of the skewer free to make handling while cooking easier.
4. Place kebabs on a plate or tray and bring to well heated barbecue or very hot griddle pan.
5. Place each skewer on the heat making sure they are about three fingers width apart. Grill on one side for five to eight minutes then carefully turn the kebabs to the other remaining side. The chicken might stick a little to the grill. Cook on the remaining side for a further eight minutes. Check that they are cooked through, remove from grill and serve.

- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon bell peppers
- ½ – 1 cup broth (whatever most of the meat is)

- Broil the meat till very rare, but cooked through.
- Cut it into small cubes.
- Mix with all other ingredients except the pie shell.
- For the broth, just add enough to make the mixture a little wetter.
- Put the mixture into the pie shell.
- Be sure the shell lid is sealed, and punch some holes in the top with a knife.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes to an hour, till the shell is golden brown.
- Makes 6 – 8 slices, and can be served any temperature.
- It's easiest to cut when cold.

Zamorin (Samoodiri; Malayalam: സാമൂതിരി, Portuguese: Samorim, Dutch: Samorijn) of Calicut is the hereditary royal title used by the Hindu rulers of the medieval Kingdom of Calicut on Malabar Coast (present day Kerala). The Zamorins ruled for almost six centuries, between c. 12th and 18th century AD based at the city of Calicut, the one of important trading centres in southern India.[1]
The Portuguese trader and navigator Vasco da Gama visited the Calicut in 1498, opening the sailing route directly from Europe to India.
The Eradis with their original base at Nediyiruppu (near present Kondotty) and were land-locked and sought an outlet to the Arabian Sea. The Eradis subsequently moved their capital to the port of Calicut, then also called Thrivikramapuram. According to K. V. Krishna Ayyar, a historian, the city of Calicut was founded on a marshy tract along the Malabar coast in 11th century AD. During Classical antiquity and the Middle Ages, Calicut was dubbed the "City of Spices" for its role as the major trading point of eastern spices.[2] The name Kozhikode is thought to be derived from Koyil (Palace) and Kota (Fort) meaning 'Fortified Palace'. Others have called the city by different names. The Arabs called it Kalikooth, Tamils called the city Kallikkottai, for the Chinese it was Kalifo. The word Kozhikode, the modern name for Calicut, is also thought to have derived from the famous fine variety of hand-woven cotton cloth called Calico that was exported from the port of Calicut.
Other seats of the Zamorins were Ponnani, Trichur and Cranganore.[3]
There were five Places of Dignity (Sthanams) existed in Calicut, each with its own separate property enjoyed in succession by the senior members of the three Royal Branches (Kovilakams) of the family.[3] The Zamorin's family, being Eradis are connected to several other Eradi clans who are resident in Nilambur, Ponnani and nearby localities in Malappuram district.
The three Royal Branches were,
The senior female member of the whole Zamorin family, the Valiya Tamburatti, also enjoyed a Places of Dignity with separate property known as the Ambati Royal Branch.[3]
Apart from the southern half of Kurumburanad, Payyanad, Eralnad, Ponnani, Cheranad, Venkattakkotta, Malappuram, Kappul, Mannarakkad, Karimpuzha, Nedunganad, Naduvattom, Kollangodu, Kotuvayur, Mankara and Polanad the Kingdom of Calicut included the following territories as tributary states in the during the late 15th century: Kottayam, Payyormala, Pulavayi, Tanore, Chalium, Beypore, Parappanad, Tirunavaya, Kakkad, Talapalli/Punnattur, Chittur, Chavakkad, Kavalappara, Edappally, Patinhattedam, Cranganore, Kollengod, Cochin and all of its vassal states, Paravur, Purakkad, Vadakkumkur, Tekkumkur, Kayamkulam and Quilon.
The Kingdom only included the following territories during the late 18th century: Payyanad, Polanad, Eralnad, Cheranad, Venkattakkotta, Malappuram, Kappul, Mannarakkad, Karimpuzha, Nedunganad and Ponnani. The Zamorin claimed to be (with more or less influence) the paramount sovereign over Payyormala, Pulavayi, Beypore, Parappanad, Tanore, Talapalli, Chavakkad and Kavalappara. Calicut had also taken possession of (the more full and immediate) sovereignty over Kollangodu, Kotuvayur and Managara.
The chief ports under direct control were Putuppattanam, Pantalayani Kollam, Calicut, Tanur, Ponnani, Chetwai and Cranganore.[3]
Famous legends such as The Origin of Kerala tell the establishment of a local ruling family at Nediyiruppu, near present-day Kondotty by two young brothers belonging to the Nair Eradi clan. The brothers, Manikkan and Vikraman were the most trusted generals in the army of the Cheras.[4][5] However, during the legendary partition of Chera Kingdom, the king didn't give any land to these two brothers. Due to his feeling of guilt, the king later gave his personal sword and his favorite prayer conch (the sword and the conch were both broken) to his general and told him to occupy as much as land he can with all his might. So the general conquered neighboring states and created a powerful kingdom for himself. As a token of his respect to the Chera king, he adopted the logo of two crossed swords, with a broken conch in the middle and a lighted lamp above it.
Historical records regarding the origin of the Zamorins of Calicut is obscure. However, its generally agreed that the Zamorins were originally the rulers of Eralnadu region of the Later Chera Kingdom (9th-12th century AD) and were known as the Eradis. Eralnadu province was situated in the northern parts of present day Malappuram district and was landlocked by the Valluvanad and Polanadu in the west. It is known that Eradis, along with other governors and chiefs, helped the Later Cheras during an attack by Western Gangas on the kingdom. This event is even now celebrated as a historical event in Chittur taluk where the fight took place. Eralandu Utaiyavar appears as signatories in the Jewish Copper plate (11th century) and the Syrian Christian Copper plate (13th century). Around the break up the Later Chera Kingdom in 11-12th century AD, several of its chieftains and governorates became independent. Eralnadu was perhaps one of these new states originated from the ruins of the Later Chera state.
Although there is no solid basis for the famous partition legend surrounding the end of Later Cheras, it is a possibility that following the mysterious disappearance of the Chera ruler, the land was partitioned and that the governors of different nadus (fiefdoms) gained independence, proclaiming it as their gift from the last sovereign.
After the de-establishment of Later Chera kingdom, the Eralppadu came to rule over the city of Calicut. There is some ambiguity regarding the exact course of events that led to the establishment of Eradi's rule over Calicut, their later capital.
The stories about the origin of the Kadathanadu dynasty (Badagara) is associated with battles of the Eradis with Polanadu. When the Zamorin attacked Polanadu, he exiled a Polarthiri royal princess from his territory and she was welcomed in Cannanore, the Samoothiri's rivals, and after the marriage with Cannanore prince with this princess the Kadathanadu dynasty originated. The name Kadathanadu refers to as the passing way between Cannanore and Calicut.[6]
The Eradi later assumed the title of Samudrāthiri ("one who has the sea for his border") and continued to rule from Calicut. The term came into use only after the 15th century, first time in the writings of Abdul Razzak. Ibn Battuta visited the country in the 14th century and refers to the rulers as Punthureshan Kunnalakkonathiri. The title Samudrāthiri was shortened to Sāmoothiri over time in common usage. Access to the sea helped the Eradi chief to develop the city into one of the major trading centers of the Eastern world abounding in a wide variety of goods like black pepper, textiles, lac, ginger, cinnamon, myrobalans, and zedoary. Vessels of various sizes from around the world, like Chinese junks, arrived on the shores of Calicut.
The power balance in Malabar changed as Eralnadu rulers developed the port at Calicut, allied with Muslim Arab and Chinese merchants and used most of the wealth from Calicut to develop huge Nair army. The Zamorins became the most powerful king in the Malayalam speaking regions during the Middle Ages and harboured greater ambitions to extend their rule over the whole of former Chera state. This motivated them to enter into battles with neighbouring kingdoms with great success.[3]
Smaller states south of Calicut (Chalium, Parappanad and Tanore) soon had to submit to Calicut and became their feudatories one by one. The rulers of Payyormala, Kurumbranad, and other Nair chiefs on the suburbs of Calicut also acknowledged the supremacy of Calicut. There were battles between Calicut and Kurumbranad for a long coastal region called Payyanad. Payyanad was a part of Kurumbranad in early times, and was given as a royal gift to Calicut. The Calicut easily overran the Kurumbranad forces in the battle and Kurumbranad had to sue for peace by surrendering Valisseri.[3]
But, it took almost a hundred years for Calicut to organize an attack on Valluvanad- the most powerful adversary of Calicut in their early conquests- after the possible conquest of Calicut in 13th century. The immediate aim of the Calicut rulers was capture the holy city of Thirunavaya. They took advantage of the Saivite- Vaishnavite enmity (called Kurmatsaram or Panniyur - Chovvaram feuds) in western Valluvanad. In the most recent conflict, the Vaishnavites of Tirumanasseri province of Valluvanad had attacked and burned a nearby Saivite village. The rulers of Valluvanad and Perumpadappu (modern Cochin) came to help the Saivites and attacked the Vaishnavites simultaneously. Tirumanasseri province was soon occupied by its neighbors on south and east, Cochin and Valluvanad. The ruler of Tirumanasseri appealed to Calicut and Tanur for help, and promised to cede Ponnani to Calicut as the price for his military protection. Ponnani was an important port in the Tirumanasseri province, and was an ancient centre of Muslims in Malabar. Calicut, looking for such an opportunity, gladly accepted the offer. Along with the combined armies of their subordinate kings (the kings of Chalium, Beypore, Tanur and Cranganore) and that of "Shah Bandar" Koya's, Calicut army advanced by both land and sea on their first major expedition to the south.[3]
The main army under the command of Zamorin himself attacked (encamping at Trpangode) an allied army of Valluvanad and Cochin from the north, initiating the Thirunavaya war (approx. 1351- 1363). The battles were fought between Tirunavaya and Vakayur. Meanwhile another huge force under Eralppadu (crown prince) commanded the navy across the sea and landed at Ponnani and later moved to Tirumanasseri, with intention to attack Thirunavaya in Valluvanad from the south with help of the army of the Vaishnavites. Eralppadu also prevented the army of Cochin joining Valluvanad army. The Muslim naval merchants and commanders at Ponnani supported this army with food, transport and provisions.[3] The army of the Eralppadu moved north and crossed the Nila river and took up position on the northern side of the river.
In spite of the fact that the soldiers of Valluvanad did not get the timely help of Cochin they fought vigorously and the battle dragged on. In the meantime, the Calicut was also successful in turning Kadannamanna Elavakayil Vellodi (junior branch of Kadannamanna) to their side. Finally, two Valluvanad princes were killed in the battle and Calicut annexed Tirunavaya, winning the Thirunavaya war.[3]
The Thirunavaya war was not the end of Calicut's expansion into Valluvanad. Calicut continued attacks on Valluvanad. Malappuram, Nilambur, Vallappanattukara and Manjeri were easily occupied from Valluvanad. But it encountered stiff resistance in some places and the fights went on in a protracted and sporadic fashion for a long time. But, further military operations (in the east) against Valluvanad were neither prolonged nor difficult for Calicut. Moreover, Calicut successfully followed a policy of appeasing the feudatories/governors of Valluvanad and conferring upon them the areas they originally held under Valluvanad.[3]
But, the battles in the western borders of Valluvanad was bitter, for it was marked by treachery and crime. Pantalur and Ten Kalams came under Calicut only after a protracted struggle. The assassination of a minister of Calicut by the Chief Minister of Valluvanad while visiting Venkatakkotta in Valluvanad sparked the battle, which dragged on for almost a decade. At last the Valluvanad minister was captured by Calicut forces and executed at Padapparambu, and his province (Ten Kalams, including Kottakkal and Panthalur) were occupied by the Zamorin. The Kizhakke Kovilakam Munalappadu, who took a leading part in this campaign, received half of the newly captured province from Zamorin as a gift. The loss of this brave and fiercely loyal Chief Minister was the greatest blow to Valluvanad after the loss of Tirunavaya and Ponnani.[3]
Calicut faced defeat for the first time in their next attack on Cochin. The combined army of Cochin and Valluvanad resisted Calicut forces and a bloody battle ensued for three days, at the end of which Calicut army was on the retreat. After a period of uneasy calm in Malabar, Calicut invaded Nedunganad, a small state between Valluvanad and Palghat. Nedunganad was annexed without striking even a single blow. At Kodikkunni, the king of Nedunganad surrendered to the Calicut forces. Then the Calicut forces annexed a number of smaller towns around Tirunavaya such as Tiruvegappuram from Valluvanad. But, at Kolakkad, the Valluvanad governor tried to overcome the Calicut prince's advance. Near Karimpuzha in Valluvanad, the common people (the Cherumas and Pananns of Kotta) resisted the advancing army. The Calicut won their affection by gifts and presents. At Karakkad, Calicut prince was met by an ancestor of Kavalappara Nairs, a vassal of Valluvanad. At Vengotri, Nellayi and Kakkathodu, the governors of Palghat surrendered to Calicut.[3] Zamorin of Calicut appointed the Eralppadu as the governor of southern Malabar region during this time. The provincial capital was at Karimpuzha. Talappilli (present day taluk of the same name and coastal regions from Ponnani to Chetwai) and Chengazhinad (ruled by Chengazhi Nambiar) submitted to Calicut without any resistance after an invasion by Calicut's Nair army.[3]
Calicut then annexed the whole of Ponnani taluk from Valluvanad and captured Vannerinadu from Cochin. The Cochin ruler was forced to shift their capital further south to Thiruvanchikkulam.[3] In 14th century, Calicut temporarily conquered large parts of central Kerala. Even Trikkanamatilakam near Thiruvanchikkulam was under their control and Cochin ruler again shifted their capital (c. 1405 AD) further south to Cochin.
In 15th century, Calicut conquered large parts of the Cochin Kingdom, and reduced it to a vassal/feudatory state. The Family feud between the Elder and Younger branches of the royal family of Cochin was exploited by the Calicut to conquer Cochin. The military intervention was initiated as Calicut's help was sought against the ruling Younger branch of the Cochin royals. The rulers of Cranganore, Idappalli, Airur, Sarkkara, Patinhattedam (Trichur) and Chittur supported or joined Calicut forces in this occupation of Cochin. Some of these were the vassals of Cochin. The Cochin king was defeated in a battle at Trichur and his palace was occupied. But, the defeated king escaped to further south. Pursuing the king to south, the Calicut army under Zamorin penetrated and occupied the city of Cochin. Unable to withstand the attacks, Cochin finally accepted Calicut's rule and became his feudatory.[3] The Elder branch ruler was installed on the throne of Cochin as vassal ruler. However the sway did not last long.
The battles against Cochin were followed by a war against Palghat and the conquest of Naduvattom by a Calicut prince. Kollengode of Venganadu Nambitis was also put under the sway of Calicut during the time. The severe and frequent battles with Valluvanad by Calicut continued. But even after the loss of his superior ally Cochin, Valluvanad did not submit to Calicut. Nair unrests continued in the occupied regions of Valluvanad, and to counter this Calicut followed a custom of settling Muslim families and the families of other Hindu generals who had allegiance to him, in the captured areas of Valluvanad. Calicut invaded Valluvanad (now shrank to Attappadi valley, parts of Mannarkkad, Ottappalam and Perinthalmanna) but could not make much progress, because these regions were dense forests and hills. It was impossible for Calicut's large army to march forth through these areas. Valluvanad numerically inferior army successfully kept the armies of Calicut at bay.[3]
Calicut was also successful in bringing the powerful state of Cannanore under their control. During his conquests, the Zamorin occupied Pantalayini Kollam as a preliminary advance to Cannanore. Kolattri immediately sent ambassadors to submit to whatever terms Calicut might dictate. Cannanore officially transferred the regions already occupied to Calicut and certain Hindu temple rights. Calicut and Cannanore fought numerous battles before the arrival of the Portuguese. Later, this rivalry paved the way for an anti-Zamorin alliance between the Portuguese and Cannanore.[6]
After their conquests in central Kerala, Calicut probably waged war against Quilon (Venadu Swaroopam) and led a southern expedition. However, some historians reject the whole of idea of the southern expedition by Calicut. According to them, some land and Hindu temple rights were transferred to Calicut during an official visit to Quilon by the ruler of the Calicut. The nominal reason for the military expedition was to protect the rights of the Brahmins in Quilon. Quilon had earlier opposed the expansion Calicut supremacy south of Cochin (former Perumpadappu kingdom). However, the Calicut forces advanced by Chetwai and Kanhur River, the Zamorin crossed the backwater at Vypin, marching through Chiranganad Karappuram, Payattukad, Alleppey, Trikunnappuzha and Kartikappally, and entered Odanad. Soon, the ruler of Quilon propitiated Calicut by paying the expenses of the battles, ceding the lands known as Munjiramukkattam (Munjiramukkattam was later transferred by the Calicut to the temple of Padmanabha or to Mathappuram shrine). Quilon also agreed to send annual tribute along with the flag of fealty to Tirunavaya for the Mamankam festival.[3]
Calicut's attitude towards the vanquished kings and foreign governors was generally marked by moderation. The whole conquered area was not ruled directly from Calicut but was ruled by a Calicut official (general, minister or prince). Sometimes, its former rulers allowed to rule as a vassal or feudatory.[3] Now, the kingdom covered almost all of Malabar and Cochin and the rulers of Quilon were made tributaries.
Soon afterwards, Deva Raya II (1424-1446 CE) of Vijayanagara Empire conquered the entire present day Kerala state. He defeated (1443) the Quilon as well as the Calicut. Fernão Nunes says that the Zamorin and even the kings of Burma ruling at Pegu and Tenasserim paid tribute to the king of Vijayanagara Empire. Later, Calicut and Quilon rebelled against their Vijayanagara overlords, but Deva Raya II quelled the rebellion. As the Vijayanagara power diminished in the next fifty years, Zamorin again rose to prominence on Malabar coast. Samoothiri built a fort at Ponnani in 1498.
The landing of Vasco da Gama in Calicut in 1498 with two ships has often been considered as the beginning of a new phase during which the control of the Indian Ocean passed into the hands of the Europeans. The strong colony of Arab merchants settled in Calicut was hostile, but the Zamorin welcomed the Portuguese and allowed them to take pepper, drugs etc., on board. In Portugal, the goods brought by Gama from India were computed at sixty times the cost of the entire expedition. Calicut soon allied with the other Indian states on the western coast against the Portuguese and participated in a number of naval battles against them. Kunhali Marakkar were the famous hereditary Grand Admirals of Calicut and organized a powerful navy to fight the Portuguese.
A Dutch fleet arrived in Calicut in November 1604 and marked the beginning of the Dutch presence on the Indian coast and concluded a treaty with Calicut on 11 November 1604. It provided for a mutual alliance between the two to expel the Portuguese from Malabar. In return the Dutch East India Company was given facilities for trade at Calicut and Ponnani, including spacious storehouses. Later in 1661, Calicut joined a coalition led by the Dutch to defeat the Portuguese and Cochin and conducted a number of successful campaigns. The Dutch virtually ruled Malabar for a period of 135 years. As a result of the Kew Letters, the Dutch settlements on the Malabar Coast were surrendered to the British in 1795 in order to prevent being overrun by the French. Dutch Malabar remained British after the conclusion of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814, which traded the colony with Bangka Island.
The English reached Calicut in 1615 under Captain William Keeling and concluded a treaty of trade under which, among others, the English were to assist Calicut in expelling the Portuguese from Cochin and Cranganore. In 1664, Zamorin gave the English permission to build a "factory" (trading depot) in Calicut but did not extend any other favours.[6]
In 1766, Mysore forces under Hyder Ali marched to Malabar and easily conquered the Malabar up to Cochin. As the Mysore edged closer to the outer reaches of the city of Calicut, the Zamorin sent most of his relatives to safe haven in Ponnani and to avoid the humiliation of surrender committed self- immolation by setting fire to his palace at Mananchira.[9]
After the suicide of the king, some members of the Zamorin family rebelled against the occupiers. The Crown Prince Krishna Varma with his nephew Ravi Varma lead anti-Mysore activities based in southern Malabar. Anti-Mysore activities were secretly supported by the English East India Company.[10] Though Mysore conferred on the Zamorin prince a jagir (vast area of tax-free land), after taking charge he continued the revolt. Mysore soon sent an army under the command of M. Lally and Mir Asrali Khan and crushed the uprising. Later, Ravi Varma joined the infamous Pychy Rebellion of Cotiote Rajah. He died in combact, while Krishna Varma committed suicide upon capture by the Company.
In the settlement negotiations with the Joint Commission after the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the Zamorin proved recalcitrant. To pressure him, a portion of his territories (Payyanad, Payyormala, Kizhakkampuram, Vadakkampuram and Pulavayi) was leased to the ruler of Kurumburanad as manager for the English East India Company. Finally, after prolonged negotiations, the hereditary territory of the Zamorin, together with the coin mint and the sea customs, was leased back to him. He was also temporarily given jurisdiction over the petty rulers and, as a mark of the Zamorin's exceptional position in Malabar, the revenue fixed for Beypore, Parappanad and Vettattunad was to be paid through him. As previously noted, these tax-payment and jurisdictional arrangements were terminated in 1799 and the Zamorin became a mere pensioned landlord.
Manavikrama was the ruler of the Kingdom of Calicut between 1466 and 1471. There are no records indicating the actual personnel name of the king, since the rulers of Calicut only used titles.
The Zamorin of Calicut made significant contributions to the cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Calicut. He himself was a scholar and distinguished himself in the field of letter writing. He wrote the Vikramiya, a commentary on Murari's Anargharāghava. The Zamorin of Calicut married Vasumati, the daughter of the Mangattachan (Prime Minister, the Mangattachan is one of the Calicut's four hereditary Chief Ministers). Afanasy Nikitin, the earliest known Russian to India, visited the Kingdom of Calicut during the rule of this Zamorin. He was impressed by the big market of the city of Calicut.
The Zamorin of Calicut's court was adorned by 18 celebrated royal poetic scholars called "Eighteen-and-Half Poets". Scholars like Uddanda Sastrikal and Damodara Bhattatiri of Kakkasseri were also associated with the famous literary assembly known as the Revathi Pattathanam.
Some of the prominent members of the "Eighteen-and-Half Poets" were,
There were no recognized organs in Calicut, and the government was an autocracy. Women were not allowed to be the ruler, and the oldest male member traced the female becomes the next Zamorin.[3]
The Zamorin was assisted in the work of government by four hereditary Chief Ministers called Sarvadhi Karyakkar (the Mangattachan-the Prime Minister, the Tinayancheri Elayatu, the Dharmottu Panikkar- the instructor-in-arms who commanded the Army and the Varakkal Paranambi- treasury and accounts) and number of Ministers called Karyakkar. Zomarin had a good naval fleet which was commanded by Kunjali Marakar. The Karyakkar were appointed and removed by the Zamorin.[3]
The sources of revenue were,[3]
Calicut army consisted mainly of feudal levies, brought by the vassal rulers and chiefs. The former were divided into five (Commanders of the Five Thousand, of the Thousand, of the Five Hundred, of the Three Hundred, and of the Hundred) classes. Standing armies were kept at strategic locations like Calicut, Ponnani, Chavakkad, Chunganad etc. Dharmottu Panikkar- the instructor-in-arms who commanded the Army. The nominal cavalry was commanded by the Kutiravattattu Nair. Nair militia was slow moving as compared to the cavalry, and always fought on foot. The use of firearms and balls had been known before the advent of the Portuguese. As gunpowder and shot made by the natives were poor quality, Calicut later employed the Europeans to manufacture them. The Moplahs formed the main corps of the musketeers, lead by Tinayancheri Elayatu.[3]
The hereditary Grand Admirals of Calicut were the famous Kunhali Marakkars and the navy ships (Sambuks, Kappals, Patakus, Ferry Boats and Kettuvalloms) were manned by the Moplahs. Every port in Calicut had a Chief Pilot, whose duty it was to see the ships safely anchored from the sea pirates. The Moplah seamen was famous for their guerrilla warfare and hand-to-hand fighting on board. But, the ships were smaller, inferior in artillery, and incapable of joint/organized operations.[3]
The coins minted in Calicut included Fanams (made of gold), Tarens (made of silver) and Kasu (made of copper). Sixteen Kasu made one Taren, and sixteen Tarens made one Fanam. The mint was destroyed in 1766. The officer in-charge of the mint was called the "Goldsmith of Manavikraman".[3]

Yurt 101
Yurts are the traditional round houses of nomadic Asian tribes (should you want details on its origins (hint: it's not Mongolian) – see here).

How to Turn a Job Search into a Career Find
Ever watch a hamster running mindlessly on a wheel and think Yeah that about sums up my job search? There is a better way to uncover a great career with more intensity of purpose. You need a focal point. You must have a game plan and a destination for your initiatives or like the hamster youll be pointlessly running in circles.
The only way to find a new career is to stop looking for a job
Career success requires the identical effort and targeting as setting a course for continuous professional development.
Job opportunities are found through the strategic use of the same steering mechanism that successfully sells products and services: Positioning, Exposure and Marketing.
Seek employers needing solutions to their problems
Change your career search strategy from hastily blasting resumes extolling your attributes to more thoughtfully approaching an employer with the idea of helping him or her solve a problem or achieve a goal. By doing so, youll leverage your competitive advantage. Youll then always invest your energies where you can obtain the highest return of time and energy because your initiatives will have a target or an intensity of purpose.
Hot career tip: Deliberately design your career management campaign for success.
There are nine angles to engineer a successful marketing strategy in a competitive hunt and each brings focus and clarity. These benchmarks more effectively drive a career transition because they concentrate on identifying problems, differentiating solutions and maximizing exposure to career resources.
Finding a great career position is no accident
A career move must be deliberate and strategic. You must master proven product sales techniques meshed with relentless subterranean market research and analysis to find your best career.
Your success in turning a job search into a career find will be in direct proportion to what you do after you do what you are expected to do. Be absolutely clear about what you want, why you want it, when you want it and what you are willing to do to get it.
Let your inner hamster escape off the mindless track of a career pursuit without purpose. Regain control of your job search. Grab the key out of the cage youve put yourself in by using the distinct marketing concepts of Positioning, Exposure and Marketing.

'Over the Moon' Cast and Filmmakers Debut Trailer, Discuss Animated Musical
Netflix and Pearl Studio unveiled the first trailer for their animated film "Over the Moon" on Tuesday following a virtual discussion with some of the cast and crew about the pic last week. Actors Sandra Oh, Phillipa Soo, John Cho, Ruthie Ann Miles and newcomer Cathy Ang joined producers Gennie Rim and Peilin Chou, along with director Glen Keane, to discuss the making of the movie, a musical adventure about a young Chinese girl named Fei Fei (Ang), who builds her own rocket ship to travel to the moon in order to prove the existence of the legendary Moon goddess Chang'e (Soo).

Work from 380°.
"…Lara's installation 380° (2007), presented as a recent solo exhibition at Galería Comercial, builds on her interest in mapping while also moving in directions at once personal and cosmic. The piece comprises a number of spherical sculptures, some resting on pedestals or tripods and others suspended from the ceiling, that resemble a 3-D diagram of a planetary system—but a diagram that has been exploded. No orbital patterns organize these globes into a coherent universe; 380° is, perhaps, the artists first self-portrait, making metaphoric the network of relations that she has created over the past five years.
Art and cosmos, gallery space and universe, commerice and the big ban: the allusions in 380° are all-encompassing ones that can simultaneously mean everything and nothing. It is in this territory that Lara's work exists, amid contradiction and ramifying complication in the precariously balanced realm of ideas." – Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy

Parenting in Difficult Times
What kind of legacy are we leaving our children… especially in our nation's current situation? What we are facing seems to be a difficult, challenging, and very interesting time in our lives right now. How are we reacting, what are we saying, how are we loving, steering, and guiding our children through this time?
God is our refuge and STRENGTH, a very present help in trouble. Psalms 46:1
The most important thing to remember? Stay focused on the information that is TRUE – that being God's Word. There are so many truths and lessons we can learn from these experiences we are going through… don't miss them!
In Proverbs 22:6 it says to "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it"
Do we speak truth?
Do we show love no matter what?
Do I point them to Christ?
When my kids look back at this experience, I pray they will remember how we as a family stayed united and sought after God's truth through it all.
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! Psalm 121:2

4 Things to Do When You Feel Attacked
Let's face it, life is challenging. Some seasons are worse than others. Approaching the holiday season is no exception.
The Enemy of Our Souls Prefers to Attack Us When We're Tired
Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:12
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Spiritual Attacks Come When We Least Expect Them
Not looking? Watch out. Attacks can come our way during moments when we think we're feeling pretty good or strong. Like a skilled boxer, the enemy is strategic. He uses a quick jab to surprise us, distract us, knock us off balance and mess with our confidence.
Keep in Mind – It's His Job
Revelation 12:10 "Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night."
Remember, God Has Instilled Himself in You
1 John 4:4 "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."
Read more...
Character Over Control And Comfort
We all want it. We don't always get it. Sometimes we get it, then decide we don't want it.
It seems sometimes Christians get this notion of the "abundant life" (found in John 10) fleshing out as the perfect life, being in control of all circumstances, a comfortable existence, all our dreams coming true, instant answers to prayer and 100% happiness.
All. Day. Every. Day.
But here's the hard truth: life is not easy. It wasn't meant to be. This is not Heaven.
When we pray with control in mind, we treat God like a vending machine.
He is not a vending machine, a genie in a bottle or a drive through.
He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Maker of Heaven and Earth. And He wants to see you grow in character, know and trust Him infinitely more than He wants you to feel comfortable.
Consider these wise words…
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. -James 1:2-3Take on an entirely new way of life — a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. -Ephesians 4:22-24Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. – Romans 5: 1-5

The Issue with Perseverance
All Moses knew was that God called and sent him. He obeyed, told Pharaoh to let his people go, and stood for God.
For a time he'd be the most hated man in all Israel
There would be 10 plagues
His family would be significantly stretched & then separated
His own brother would be involved in rebellion against him & God – twice
The wilderness would present one life ending threat after another
There would be another 40 years of wilderness wandering
After everything he taught them (and they'd been through), very little of it really mattered…they seemed to learn little to nothing
So many people under his leadership would die because of rebellion, hatred of him and hatred toward God
In the end, he wouldn't even get to enter the Promised Land

Listen Up!
I have always been told that communication takes two people: one person to send a message- verbal or nonverbal- and one person to receive the message. Of course, message sent doesn't always mean message received. Good communication requires the message receiver to actually acknowledge the message was received.
In general, our society is filled with people engrossed with pleasing only themselves. When we participate in this behavior, our focus is off of others and solely on ourselves.
Most people in life just want to be heard. I witness it in my job every day. Someone else's problem may seem small to us, but to them it could be a major crisis or devastatingly life changing.
The Bible tells us in James 1:19:
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry…
Did you notice what James points out first? Be quick to listen. I am so quick to think of what to say next- or have a response prepared- before I've even completely processed what someone else is actually saying. That makes it all about me.
Making it about them requires more than merely hearing, but actively listening.
I encourage you- along with myself- to take the time to really listen to others. You never know how you may impact someone's life just by taking the time required to truly listen to them. The next time you find yourself working to actively listen to someone, remember these three things:
2. Actively listening is an act of love.
3. Actively listening reflects your relationship with Christ.

4 Things to Remember When You're On the Edge
I can honestly tell you this: you are not alone. Over the past two years, I have had some major events in my life that have not only tested my emotions and thoughts, but also tested everything I believe in and the will to keep pushing through those events. By the grace of God and a great support system, I have come out of all of those circumstances a much stronger person… or so I thought.
Every now and then, a little something from each of those events creeps back into my life and thoughts. I feel the weight of things that happened in the past all over again. I feel the wounds they have left behind- in my mind and the inner most parts of my being.
It is usually then that I find myself right on the edge of keeping it all together…
I feel like I'm about to have a good old fashion freak-out moment.
1. Normal – The definition of "normal" is up for interpretation. What I have learned is that my feelings and my reactions are absolutely normal. I am not weird for feeling upset or wanting to cry about past traumatic events. Neither are you.
2. Time – they say time heals all wounds. Not really. It may be a nice cliché, but in real life it takes intentional work to heal through the pain. This is what heals the wounds and grows us. If the pain isn't dealt with and merely buried in "time" (denial), it will one day rip that scab off with the same intensity as it did 30 years ago. Scars will always be there, but I know with the Lord working in me as I do the work of healing and the buffer of time- this allows us to become stronger. One step at a time. One day at a time. It must be a conscious choice we make every day.
3. A Support System – they say that you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. If you're not close with your family, you must still have a support system in place. Usually our parents have gone through something in the course of their lives. They can offer advice or just be there to listen. Be wise about this- choose people who are safe, honest and have your best interest at heart.
4. God – they say to just lean on God in the hard times. It's so easy to say, harder to do. What I have learned is this: God deeply cares for me and feels the overwhelming emotions with me. When I question God on why bad things happen to good people, He doesn't get mad at me. He tells me that evil things are not His plan- His plan is for our good. His plan is for all of us to live in eternity with him. But there is a darkness in this world and that darkness (our enemy- Satan) is the cause of those bad things happening to good people.
The bottom line?
When I am sometimes on the edge, God can work in my life if I allow him to. God wants what is best for us, and sometimes being on the edge is just where he wants us. No pain is wasted in the hands of our Savior. He desires to grow us through it. He wants us to reach out and grab his hand, so he can pull us into his loving arms.

Patience- When You Think You Can't Wait
Ever notice how effective that is?
Situations of life that expose our lack of patience can be as varied as life itself. Just when we think we've learned to be patient with one thing, we're taken by surprise with another… and right back to impatience.
Here's one thing I'm grateful for: on the subject of Patience, the Bible is full of stories of situations as varied as life itself. It really helps to look at how other people deal – or don't deal – with impatience so we can get a better grip on our own situations. Our Children's Pastor and I often work together to bring the subjects we talk about into the forefront for the entire family. The hope is that if both parents and kids are working on it at the same time, then perhaps the entire family benefits more…grows more.
To review, we've given a very simple definition for Patience and a memory verse to make it easy and practical.
Patience is "Waiting until later for what you want now."
"Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don't lose hope. Wait for the Lord."
Here are some of the Biblical stories that we covered and the Bottom Line for each:
- Hannah Prays for a Baby
- Hannah prayed out of her deep anguish and found God's Peace. Remember, God doesn't grant Patience, but He does grant Peace.
Found in 1 Samuel 1:9 – 2:1
Bottom Line: When you think you can't wait, tell God about it.
- Hannah prayed out of her deep anguish and found God's Peace. Remember, God doesn't grant Patience, but He does grant Peace.
- The Golden Calf:
- They were blinded by their own sight. Remember, insecurity gropes for something physical-tangible, which can often result in a dismissal of God's help in order to make room for your own frantic solution.
Found in Exodus 32:1 – 35
Bottom Line: When you think you can't wait, don't forget what's true.
- They were blinded by their own sight. Remember, insecurity gropes for something physical-tangible, which can often result in a dismissal of God's help in order to make room for your own frantic solution.
- Esau's Birthright:
- Esau was consumed with the urgency of his own hunger. Remember, yielding to immediate and overwhelming desire nearly always leads to tragic loss.
Found in Genesis 25:24 – 34
Bottom Line: When you think you can't wait, think twice.
- Esau was consumed with the urgency of his own hunger. Remember, yielding to immediate and overwhelming desire nearly always leads to tragic loss.
- Solomon's Wise Words:
- Arresting your immediate frustration gives you greater clarity of mind. Remember, long-term unresolved anger always becomes bitterness…unresolved bitterness often becomes despair and depression. Found in Proverbs 14:29 – 30
"He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is quick-tempered exalts folly. A tranquil heart is life to the body, but passion (unbridled emotion) is rottenness to the bones."
Bottom Line: When you think you can't wait, don't lose your cool.

Practice Doesn't Get Us to Perfect, But Makes Us Better
Personally, when I am faced with injustice- just plain old someone being mean, or unrealistic deadlines that start to build my stress level- I do a couple of things.
First, I Consider the Source
Generally, the people driving me crazy are not drawing from the same source that I do. How do I know this? From the fruits they display.
Galatians 5:22-23 speaks of the Fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Yes it happens! I am thankful the Holy Spirt convicts me to the point of an apology and eventually changed behavior. Again, this is developed over time with practice, as God allows opportunities. Sad to say, it doesn't happen in each of us automatically (wouldn't that be so much easier!), but does get better as we choose to respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:11-12:
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and say all sorts of false evil against you because of me, rejoice and be glad for great is your reward in Heaven.
It's helpful to remember that Jesus tells us this injustice will happen when we are living in and for Him. Remembering who I am in Christ and the knowledge that I have all of eternity to look forward to helps me to stay focused and remember what is next!
Practice doesn't get us to perfect, but in the long run, makes us better. We have much to be thankful for because God's promises are true. This should drive our behavior. Does it drive yours?
This may not be all that helpful (even to some Christians since in my opinion there is a real lack of understanding on what eternity will be like) to some. Considering this, how can one look forward to eternity if one doesn't know what it is? Another blog for another time! No one knows for sure what eternity will be like, but God does tell us in His Word a lot about this and it will be terrific for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their savior! Revelation Chapter 21 is the culmination of this. Halleluiah and Amen!

Lessons in the Rearview Mirror
Not so fast. God had something to say.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
Sometimes we don't see beauty looking in the rearview mirror- in the car or in our lives.

Why hybrid cloud is becoming more relevant today
As enterprises brace for the impact of the Covid 19, one technology has risen to its claim of being resilient and scalable. The sudden shift of millions of people to a remote work infrastructure has been made possible only due to the cloud. The cloud is also powering a host of services that have made people productive. From cloud-based collaboration tools (Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, WebEx) to cloud-based telephony tools, almost every service is possible only due to the cloud.

Study of the effect of strong resonance decays on the emitting source in baryon-baryon femtoscopy with EPOS — •Gerhard Huber for the ALICE collaboration — TUM Munich
The femtoscopy technique has been used, in heavy-ions and pp collisions, to investigate both the emission source and the interaction potential between particle pairs by measuring their correlation function. For such studies, the emitting source has been generally assumed to have a Gaussian profile With the achievement of high precision femtoscopic data in pp collisions RUN 2 with ALICE and the improved knowledge of the underlying interaction it is possible to study the effect of strong resonances and collective effects on the profile source. Transport models as EPOS are tuned to describe the full dynamics of pp collisions at ALICE energies and are able to provide the space-time emitting source of the produced particles including resonances decay and rescattering which lead to non-gaussian contributions. This source can hence be used in femtoscopic analysis tools, as CATS, to evaluate the theoretical correlation function and compare it to experimental data.
In this poster we will present a detailed analysis on the effects of strong resonance decays on the emitting source, obtained with EPOS model simulations for pp collisions in ALICE. We will show the comparison of the resulting correlation function for different particle pairs, proton-proton and proton-Λ, with recent ALICE data in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV.

We document heterogeneity in occupational employment dynamics in response to government spending shocks. Employment rises most strongly in pink-collar occupations, while employment in blue-collar occupations is hardly affected. We develop a business-cycle model that explains the heterogeneous occupational employment dynamics as a consequence of differences in the short-run substitutability between labor and capital services across occupations.
