Leap into darkness
The first thought that comes to mind when we are overwhelmed with fear or uncertainty is to look for people who can calm those French tightrope walker and acrobat Charles Blondin is best known for his most daring feat of crossing the Niagrara Gorge across the roaring Niagara falls on a tightrope 1,100 feet high in June of walked that tightrope across 160 feet directly above the waterfalls several times and each time with a different daring feat – once in a sack, then he did it on stilts..(Bible) Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as '...the assurance of things hoped for the conviction of things not seen'..The crowd at Niagara gorge screamed in excitement as Blondin finally walked across one dangerous step after another — blindfolded and pushing a wheelbarrow. When Blondin reached the other side he suddenly stopped and addressed the excited crowd. 'Do you believe I can carry a person across in this wheelbarrow?' .The crowd screamed excitingly 'Yes You are the greatest tightrope walker in the world. You can do anything!'.Blondin then challenged the crowd 'Okay, Get in the wheelbarrow with me' No one months later his manager Harry Colcord, showed his complete faith in Blondin and did ride on Blondin's back across the those mighty phrase 'Fear not,' and similar variations like 'Do not be afraid,' occur all through the The Bible (Luke 17:5-10) the apostles ask Jesus to increase their Faith. Jesus responded saying that even with faith as small as a mustard seed, they could perform great things if they trusted can draw a perfectly good Faith-lesson from this. We love The Lord of our Belief. We all do. We trust in God's Almighty Power. We pray about His power,. We speak to others about His power. We write. We sing. We Preach of the awesome power of God. But when it comes to our personal life, how many of us can take up the risks and challenges God places before on our shoulders? In relation to our personal life, our family, our work or business, our career, and our wide spectrum of relationships. Faith is a leap out of darkness into light but trusting in something unseen, something beyond our immediate understanding.

Curchorem sewage treatment plant bypassed green test, shows RTI reply
Margao: A Right to Information (RTI) reply shows regulatory deficiencies in the construction of a sewage treatment plant at Curchorem, as the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) said that no environmental impact assessment (EIA) was conducted before the commencement of the project. The RTI response, dated June 25, said that the GSPCB has no records of the EIA being conducted for the STP being constructed at survey No. 505, Cacora, within the jurisdiction of Curchorem Cacora Municipal Council (CCMC). Activists said that the GSPCB's statement that 'EIA report not available with the board' directly contradicts mandatory requirements under the EIA notification 2006 and an NGT judgment (application no. 124 of 2013), which mandates prior environmental clearance for STP construction. In its judgment, the NGT, referring to the guidance manual dealing with EIA clearance of effluent treatment plants, issued by the environment ministry said, 'The bare reading of the (guidance manual) shows that establishment, expansion and even modernisation of combined effluent treatment plants require environment clearance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She is just 10 years old!

' Activist Aditya Dessai said that 'as the same sewage line passes through the Cacora Industrial Estate, and would also carry all types of effluents, it is plainly evident that the project requires environment clearance'. The board confirmed that while No Objection Certificates from the town and country planning department and the local municipality were issued, these clearances were granted without any environmental assessment. Water quality data before construction, public consultation records, and mangrove destruction estimates are also missing from official records, the RTI reply said. Dessai said, 'The STP's location on the Zuari bank has resulted in large-scale destruction of mangroves through filling of the riverbed within the high tide line, thereby violating provisions of Section 24(1)(b) of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.' Dessai said that Rajasthan high court order of Oct 24, 2024, prohibits illegal constructions and encroachments on riverbeds, floodplains and river catchments. The court had directed state chief secretaries and the jal shakti ministry to ensure compliance with anti-encroachment measures.
