So, you have decided to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure, sounds great idea, is not? Have you thought about cosmetic surgery cost in Delhi? Have you thought about the factors that affect it? Of course, each procedure is different so is the cost associated with it. Also, it is a known fact that cost varies on the basis of the geographical region. Although it is said that most cosmetic procedures are performed high cost living areas, cost of the procedure varies. If you choose to undergo cosmetic procedure in Delhi then you can be assured to save a lot of money.
In recent years, an increasing number of people are choosing India as the destination to undergo cosmetic procedures. There are several reasons for this. Not only that the national capital of the country, Delhi has some of the best cosmetic surgeons but also the quality of the treatment and care offered is second to none. After all, patients, today, look for the care which is the best and as per global standards. And, this is exactly what you can expect to get if you choose to undergo plastic surgery in Delhi.
Plastic surgery cost in Delhi I relatively affordable making it possible for a large number of people to avail its benefits. There is no doubt that cost is the biggest factor when it comes to making a decision regarding plastic surgery procedure. Many people often take a step back because of the inability to spare huge amount of money for desired cosmetic procedure.You can now, however, get a new look by simply visiting a surgeon in Delhi. Effective treatment is given ensuring that a patient gets the excellent result post-surgery.
Whether you choose to undergo face lift, neck lift, body contouring, tummy tuck, otoplasty, eyelid surgery or upper arm lift, would determine the overall cost of the surgery. After examining a patient and understanding his goals, the specialist cosmetic surgeon in Delhi would suggest whether a standalone procedure or combination of procedures is required to achieve the goal. It is often that the combination of surgeries is recommended so that you can get the excellent results.
When cosmetic surgery is performed by an experienced, trained and skilled surgeon, you can be assured about the results. Credentials of the cosmetic surgeon, thus, play a crucial role in determining the success of the chosen procedure. Do not choose a surgeon simply because of the low-cost treatment. Compare credential, fee and facilities before making any decision.
Plastic surgery costs might be reflective of why you require the procedure or procedures. However, people who opted for low cost procedure often end-up facing complications. In a nutshell, you should be extremely cautious while choosing the cosmetic surgeon to get the excellent results.

The sun was just going down on Salton Sea, one of my favourite places on earth, I just came down from the painted mountain and waited for that sun to hit the hotspot, and when it did, well, it looked like this. If you are looking for sunsets that rock your world, Salton Sea has them. They are almost alien like, just like the surroundings.

Some about airport :
Dubrovnik Airport (Croatian: Zracna luka Dubrovnik; IATA: DBV, ICAO: LDDU), also referred to as Cilipi Airport, is the international airport of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The airport is located approximately 15.5 km (9.5 mi) from Dubrovnik city centre, near Cilipi. It was the third-busiest airport in Croatia in 2017 after Zagreb Airport and Split Airport in terms of passenger throughput. It also has the country's longest runway, allowing it to accommodate heavy long-haul aircraft. The airport is a major destination for leisure flights during the European summer holiday season.
Yugoslav flag carrier Aeroput used a seaplane station in Dubrovnik to open the first routed linking the city. The first route was opened in 1936 linking Dubrovnik to national capital Belgrade via Sarajevo. Next year a route to Zagreb was inaugurated. But it was in 1938 that Dubrovnik saw a significant increase in air traffic, with the introduction by Aeroput of regular flights to Vienna, Brno and Prague with stops in Sarajevo and Zagreb, and also the introduction of a regular flight between Belgrade and Tirana with a stop in Dubrovnik. However, by early 1940s, with the World War II, Aeroput operations were suspended.
Dubrovnik Airport opened in 1962. The city was originally served by the Gruda Airfield which opened for commercial traffic in 1936 and was in use only during the summer months. The domestic airline Aeroput linked Dubrovnik with Belgrade (via Sarajevo) first in 1936, and a year later a route to Zagreb was opened.
During 1987, the busiest year in Yugoslav aviation, the airport handled 835,818 passengers on international flights and a further 586,742 on domestic services. Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, the airport surpassed the one-million-passenger mark in 2005. Today, Dubrovnik boasts the most modern passenger terminal in the country. A new terminal is being planned in place of the old airport building, constructed in 1962, which has now been demolished to make way for a new modern structure. The price tag of the project amounts to seventy million euros and is to be financed out of a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. In May 2010 a new terminal opened stretching over 13,700 square metres. It has the capacity to handle two million passengers per year.

Honey, nature's sweet home remedy
Dr. Julie Gatza of Nature's Sources reviews 10 surprising
uses for this amazing golden super food
Honey has a long and fascinating history in promoting human health.
The first written reference to the medicinal use of honey was found on a Sumerian tablet dating back to 2100-2000 BC describing its use as a drug and topical ointment for open wounds. Ancient Egyptians later discovered honey to be an effective embalming agent able to prevent the decay of corpses. Reportedly, jars of honey found in the tomb of Tutankhamen have not spoiled after thousands of years and are still edible.
Today, as alternative medical protocols gain more acceptance, many people are cutting back on their use of antibiotics and turning to traditional natural alternatives like honey. Holistic practitioners consider it one of nature's best all-around home remedies.
Through the centuries, honey has been reported able to help the body battle dozens of health challenges, including:
Wounds and burns
There are clinical studies and volumes of anecdotal reports on the effectiveness of honey in sanitizing wounds and reducing inflammation.
Digestive issues
In a recent study, honey's viscous property was found to promote normal digestion.
Skin blemishes
Honey has been used to decrease appearance of acne inflammation
Oral Health
According to studies, honey reduced plaque and "can be used as an alternative to traditional remedies for the prevention of dental caries and gingivitis following orthodontic treatment."
Upset bowels
Initial human trials showed beneficial effects for several gastrointestinal conditions. Honey reduced colitis in animal studies.
Sore throats
A traditional remedy for coughs and sore throats, honey helps soothe tissues. Children age 2 and older with upper respiratory tract irritation were given 2 teaspoons of honey at bedtime which stopped their night-time coughing as effectively as OTC cough medications.
In a Finish study, patients treating allergies with honey reported a 60% lower total symptom score, twice as many asymptomatic days, and 70% fewer days with severe symptoms
Studies have indicated that Manuka honey stimulates immune cells and triggers cytokine production
Adding honey to milk at bedtime helps the body release melatonin into the brain, which is necessary for deep sleep
Honey as a future medicine
Further study of Manuka honey from New Zealand could lead to new treatments for a variety of health challenges, researchers say.
While nearly all types of honey bring health benefits, the honey many researchers feel delivers the most health benefits overall is Manuka Honey which is only found in New Zealand. Made by bees collecting nectar from flowers on the Manuka bush, Manuka honey contains a powerful naturally occurring substance called methyglyoxal (MG).
Produced by New Zealand's premier honey processor, Biohoney, each batch of Manuku honey is carefully tested by an independent laboratory to precisely establish its health supporting methyglyoxal content.
Listeners can visit www.NaturesSources.com to see the entire line of Biohoney products.
1. How long has honey been used medicinally?
2. What makes honey an effective topical dressing for wounds?
3. For health and medicinal applications you recommend Manuka honey from New Zealand. What is Manuka honey – and what makes it such a powerful functional food?
4. Brushing your teeth with honey seems like an invitation for cavities, yet there are studies that say otherwise. What's the story?
5. Brushing honey on one's face seems like it would cause acne, not cure it. How does honey zap pimples?
6. What's the nutritional profile of honey? Does it provide any vitamins or minerals?
7. How can listeners learn more about the many Manuka honey products available from New Zealand's premier honey maker, Biohoney?

When the Mars rover Curiosity stuck its landing on the red planet on Aug. 6, 2012, it not only opened a new era of space exploration and a bright new door to NASA's future, but it also signified a triumph of human ingenuity over staggering odds.
There was virtually zero margin of error with the $2.5 billion project, as this new book about the Rover points out, and many things could have gone wrong with a mission that depended upon the work of more than 7,000 scientists and engineers, and about 500,000 lines of computer code.
After being blasted into space by an Atlas V rocket on Nov. 26, 2011, Curiosity spent eight months hurtling some 354 million miles through space, plunging into Mars's atmosphere at a brutal 13,200 miles an hour. For the rover to alight safely in the chosen landing zone, everything had to work perfectly in an immensely complicated system known as E.D.L. (entry, descent and landing). The process involved rocket-powered deceleration, a giant parachute and a sky crane using nylon ropes to lower Curiosity gently onto the surface of Mars and set it directly down on its wheels.
It all sounded pretty crazy, as NASA's top administrator observed, but, as it turned out, it was "the right kind of crazy." For more than three and a half years now, the little rover has been working diligently, trundling across the surface of Mars, looking for evidence that the planet could have once supported life, and occasionally tweeting.
"The Right Kind of Crazy" is the title of this engaging book, written by Adam Steltzner, an engineer leading the team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (J.P.L.) that was charged with landing the Curiosity. Written with William Patrick, the book is an inside account of the intense decade of teamwork that went into Curiosity, and it's also the story of Mr. Steltzner's own unlikely journey — from an aspiring musician, who barely graduated from high school, to a California Institute of Technology recruit to a team leader at the J.P.L. in Pasadena, Calif.
Though "The Right Kind of Crazy" is hobbled at times by the author's digressions into management-speak (the reader gets the feeling that he was encouraged to try to extrapolate all-purpose lessons about teamwork and leadership from his experiences), the book offers a gripping account of the Curiosity mission, and some fascinating insights into the engineering principles and analytics involved in pulling off the project. Mr. Steltzner — who became known at J.P.L. for his Elvis hair, his cowboy boots and his swaggering style — often talks less like a science geek than like the rocker he wanted to be as a teenager, and he displays a gift here for capturing the high-stakes, adrenaline-laced atmosphere of the Mars Science Laboratory, as the overall project was called.
On top of racing the clock, which had been "set by celestial mechanics" (at one point, the launch date would have to be moved back from 2009 to 2011), Mr. Steltzner and his colleagues were faced with inventing a landing system for the car-size one-ton Curiosity, which was filled with delicate scientific equipment and way too heavy for the air-bag cocoons used in earlier rover missions. Along the way, there would be moments in what Mr. Steltzner calls the Dark Room — that place where it's hard to "egghead" your way through a problem, and "you know you have no solution."
Six months from launch ("a few seconds in spacecraft development time"), something went horribly awry in a simulated landing: Radar, crucial to the process, failed to kick in. After a string of all-nighters, examining "every component for the source of the failure," Mr. Steltzner says, they found "that all our incredibly sophisticated naughty bits had worked fine." There was nothing wrong with the spacecraft computer or the flight software or the algorithms.
"What hadn't worked was some run-of-the mill, everyday components" of their test equipment. In this case, the problem was caught in time to save the mission; a similarly mundane mistake that went undiscovered (one team had used English units of measurement; another used metric units) led to the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999.
In the course of this book, Mr. Steltzner gives us an appreciation of the hard data and intuition involved in the engineering of a huge project like the Mars Science Laboratory — and the way teams learned to break down seemingly impossible problems into smaller, more manageable ones. He writes that one of the difficulties with space exploration is that "we never have enough iterations to allow us to fully learn from our mistakes." And he describes the technology necessary for landing the rover on Mars as "tantamount to magic."
He reminds us that the kind of life NASA hopes to find on Mars "has nothing to do with little green men or dudes who look like Arnold Schwarzenegger." Microbes, even fossilized microbes, would be "an astonishing discovery." Life beyond Earth, he adds, would be "a profound and comforting discovery" — comforting because "it means if we screw up and ruin all life on Earth, we would not have destroyed the only living things in all existence."
Curiosity hasn't found any actual life on Mars yet, but it did find an ancient stream bed and evidence that the planet could have supported microbial life billions of years ago. And the rover keeps toiling away, collecting samples, analyzing rocks and sending back spectacular photographs of the red planet, along with the occasional selfie. On the first anniversary of its safe landing on Mars, hundreds of millions of miles from Earth, the lonely little rover sang "Happy Birthday" to itself.

Voicing the Void: Muteness and Memory in Holocaust Fiction
Voicing the Void: Muteness and Memory in Holocaust Fiction
I remember at one time poets used to "poeticize" it is still possible to write verses it is also possible to do many other things
--Tadeusz Rozewics
Although it claims a vast and growing readership, Holocaust fiction goes against the grain. In the ongoing critical discourse about the Holocaust and its representation, the status of imaginative literature as a serious venue for reflections about historical events comes repeatedly under question. Holocaust fiction is seen by many readers as--at best--a weaker, softer kind of testimony when compared to the rigors of history, or--at worst--a misleading, dangerous confusion of verisimilitude with reality. Louis Begley, in reflecting on the connection of his novels to his personal experience as a child survivor, succinctly articulates what many readers find most problematic about the idea of Holocaust fiction: "To separate what is true from what is not would be like trying to unscramble an omelet" (Fein C10). But the word "fiction" as a synonym for "lies" poses it antithetically to truth and reflects negatively on the expressive possibilities of a particular literary form when applied to the world of actual events.
The present study presumes fiction as a serious vehicle for thinking about the Holocaust. The trope of muteness, predominant in Holocaust narratives of all sorts, functions in fiction deliberately and explicitly to . . .

The World Cup has converted kids to Football spectators. How good are they at watching the game? Well, they now want the volume increased for the Spanish commentary on Univision and, if Baab is not watching, Katya screams "Annaaaa … Yellow card" as soon as a dude gets one!
And, of course, Baab tries to outscream the commentator each time a goal happens ("GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL") and Katya covers her ears with her hands and runs out of the room screaming for deliverance!!
PS (OT): Will we hear the IPL commentators replacing "DLF Maximum" with "Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks"??? 😉

Bloke DJing In Restaurant Thinks People Are Actually Listening
A bloke who is paid to play music in a restaurant while people eat is under the illusion that people are actually listening to him.
Alan Lafferty, a self-titled "tune technician", believes that the restaurant he works in would be empty were it not for his "ultra-modern and super sophisticated" tune selection.
"I don't really see myself as a DJ," Lafferty explained earlier. "That just seems so corporate and square. I'm more of a tune technician or a dream weaver, I provide the people with a soundtrack for their food and I like to think that I play a pretty big part in their whole dining experience."
"Honestly, I've had people come up to me and tell me that they've never tasted food like they have while I'm playing tunes," continued the overly confident human MP3 player. "There was this one guy tonight who was having a steak, I saw it was cooked blue so I banged on Eifel 65 Blue (Da Ba Dee), if that's not a fully rounded dining experience, I don't know what is."
Wunderground also spoke to the man who ordered the blue steak to get his opinion of Lafferty's track selection.
"Oh really, there was a DJ playing, I hadn't noticed," claimed the man who had just finished his dinner. "I thought it was just some random playlist, I find it hard to believe that someone would actually play that Blue Da Ba Dee shite while people are trying to eat their dinner, it really brought the tone of the place down if I'm being honest and cost the waiter a couple of percent on their tip."
Another diner claimed that he thought there was "one of those annoying Mariachi bands or something" playing in the restaurant.
"Surely that wasn't a DJ," he said dismissively. "Jesus, I've heard a few train wrecks over the years but that was like two nuclear bullet trains having a head-on collision. Honestly, if that was a DJ, I'm the Pope and I'm not even Catholic."

I attended a fellowship held by Dr. Mainous the II, the father of my pastor, Charles Mainous III. Dr. Mainous were one of the first people to fight for educational freedom for Christian schools and homeschools in the state and national levels back in 1975, a legacy that the VDP strives to honor and carry. He sat with politicians (particularly the current governor of Ohio, John Kasich, whom he presented a KJV Bible), written books, spoke at universities, and fought the IRS and won.
He preached the sermon "It's Worse Than You Think".
The United States is worse:
1. Politically
2. Economically
3. Morally
4. Educationally
5. Spiritually
He made several points, which were all interesting. He brings notice to the Chinese and Islamic encroachment of our nation, through foreign owned farms and Sharia Law. Dr. Mainous recalls prayer being taken out in public schools. He brought attention that we are indeed a constitutional republic, not a democracy.
With this call of action, we, the new generation, shall restore and revive.

Since becoming a Google Certified Teacher, I've come across so many great technology resources, tips, and contacts that they're impossible to enumerate. It seems like everyone has a little corner of the web set aside to share their ideas. I'm working on one myself to support my upcoming workshop, Go Paperless with Free Google Tools.
I was looking at Kathy Schrock's Google Goodies page, and I found this neat trick:
If you publish a Google Doc or Spreadsheet, and you want your users to have their own copy of the document or template, forward them the URL with &newcopy appended to the end of it.
What we need is a common clearinghouse for all of these sorts of Google tips and tricks. Each Google tool has its own help documentation and associated forum, but I'm not sure that's the right place for it. The email traffic from the Google Certified Teachers discussion group is rich in resources and tips, but it is only open to the GCT community. The Google Teacher Academy resources page is a start, but it's not exactly what I have in mind.
What to do…

It's frustrating, disappointing and a whole lot more for Jon Gott.
It looks like the 10-year CFL veteran, who has never missed a start when healthy in his five seasons (covering 76 games) since joining the Ottawa Redblacks in a CFL Draft Day trade in 2014, won't start and may not even go to Winnipeg for Friday's game. It's expected Evan Johnson, a first-round draft pick of the Redblacks in 2017, will get the start.
"I don't know if I should say too much about it," said Gott, who's 32. "You see what's going on. Evan's playing left guard at practice; that's kind of probably how it's going to go. (The Redblacks) could probably give a better explanation why, I'll leave it at that. It's tough. I thought I was playing pretty good, then I get the call saying, 'You're not playing.' It sucks. You deal with it and hopefully your number gets called again.
"I want to be on the field. I feel like I can contribute quite a bit. It's not fun, but I'll keep on showing up to work, keep on doing what I'm doing, and hopefully I get back out there soon. It's a team sport. That's just how it goes, I guess."
When the guys who make the decisions are asked about Gott, you hear, "good player" and "we're lucky to have him," but unless injuries happen — and that's not out of the realm of possibility — Gott may be relegated to backup duty well beyond Friday. The Redblacks start four former first-round draft choices — Jason Lauzon-Seguin, Nolan MacMillan, Alex Mateas and Johnson, with another (Mark Korte) waiting in the wings. Then there's left tackle SirVincent Rogers, the league's most outstanding lineman in 2015.
"We know who Jon Gott is and what he can do," Redblacks coach Rick Campbell said. "Jon's going to be around here and he's going to play here again this year. We're going to navigate our way through the season and do what we think is best as we go through it."
Asked about Johnson, Campbell said, "He's a guy who's going to play in this league for a long time. He brings versatility; another factor in this thing is Evan can play both guard and tackle. The CFL's a league where a lot of teams dress six O-linemen — that's what we usually do. When you dress six, you have to make sure you have your bases covered."
Johnson, who missed a couple of games in July with an injury, said, "We don't worry about who's playing and who's not playing. We know all of us can play, we know all of us can start. It's just a matter of whose number gets called."
MAINSAH HAPPY TO BE BACK: When the Redblacks cut Tafon Mainsah on July 3, they told him they may bring him back. It didn't take long; two weeks later the DB was back in Ottawa.
"When they cut me, they told me it was a numbers game," Mainsah said. "I went home; the day they called me and asked me to come back was going to be my first day at a part-time job (catering at a barbecue place). I was thinking I'd be gone for a couple of months — they called me back in two weeks."
Mainsah, whose parents are from Africa, is happy for another opportunity. As a kid, it was more about soccer and basketball.
"I got sick of that and picked up a football," he said. "When me parents found out I was playing football, they had to start researching because they knew nothing about the sport. I guess I've thrown them a bit of a curveball coming to Canada because American rules are different.
"Basketball was my first love, but I stopped growing. Five-foot-10 in basketball is pretty short, but it's pretty normal for football."
REST PRUNEAU? Defensive back Antoine Pruneau has been banged up much of the year; playing on special teams along with his defensive duties has taken a toll: Asked if he would think about removing Pruneau from special teams to save him from the wear and tear, Campbell said, "I know he wouldn't want to. Maybe we would make the statement we would dial someone back on offence or defence (instead of special teams). That's how important special teams are. He's so good and there are too many yards on special teams — huge swings and chunks of yards happening. We want to make sure we take care of guys like Antoine and not ask too much of him, but at the same time I know guys like him want to be out there doing their thing."
IN GOOD SHAPE: The Redblacks go into Winnipeg, it looks like, with no additional injuries. While receiver Brad Sinopoli hasn't taken many first-team reps this week, he'll be in the lineup. Said Campbell: "He's good to go; I think he's even better than last week. We're in pretty decent health, we're missing a couple of guys who have been out long-term, but other than that it's been pretty good so far."
THE END AROUND: QB Trevor Harris took the Redblacks' offensive line out to dinner Monday, spending about $400 at Ten Sushi at Bank Street. Said Harris: "It's something quarterbacks do to tell your big guys you appreciate them. I don't think in football they talk about the O-line enough. Typically, when you win or lose they talk about it being because of a skill-position guy, but typically the games are won and lost up front." Asked who the best eater was, Harris said: "(Alex) Mateas was going hard. Right when I thought everybody was done, he ordered an extra 25 salmon sashimi, then 25 like salmon sushi." … It wouldn't be surprising to see linebacker Kyries Hebert return soon after the bye week.

Ol' Roger Stone is back in the headlines. Is it possible that he is about to finally get what he deserves? Please take a minute to read this post by our friend Gronda who has done her homework on this one, as always! Thank you, Gronda!!!
My guess is that Roger Stone, a long time political strategist and friend to the republican President Donald Trump will be next on the FBI"s Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Trump-Russian probe to be invited for an interview where his testimony will be given under oath.
The circumstantial case that I have developed from public information leads me to think this. First, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort were business partners for years and their firm had actually previously done lobbying work on behalf of the president during his casino business days. Roger Stone has ties to Russia going way back and so does Paul Manafort.

There are sandwich shops that stick to the basics – think turkey and Swiss on whole wheat with a little mayo – and those that go over-the-top with breads, spreads and combinations of ingredients that make you go hmmm. They mean well, but they try too hard, and in doing so lose sight of what makes a good sandwich.
Disappointment, and an empty wallet, inevitably follows.
At first I thought Sisters Gourmet Deli might be one of these "we try harder," Avis Rent-a-Car delis. But I was wrong. It's more like a Goldilocks deli that gets it just right.
Sisters, located in the former Wannawaf waffle restaurant in Portland's Monument Square, offers a straightforward array of sandwiches (any of which can be turned into a salad at no extra charge) that walk the line between something recognizable and something that tastes different and delicious. They all range from $8 to $10. Sisters makes their own bread, a thick flatbread covered in herbs, that they use for all their sandwiches. Gluten-free bread is available for an extra $2.
We tried two sandwiches, the Ambrosia and the Two Little Pigs, both heated up in a panini press. The Ambrosia was filled with chicken, cucumber, roasted red peppers, feta, sun-dried tomato, hummus and spinach. I thought this one could probably lose the sun-dried tomato, which felt like it was one ingredient too far, but otherwise the flavors were good. The chicken was tender, and I especially liked the hummus, which lent some creaminess to what was otherwise a sandwich with a lot of crunch.
My favorite, though, was the Two Little Pigs, so named because it contains both bacon and "Dr. Pepper pork tenderloin" – pork that had been marinated in one of my favorite sodas. The pork was coupled with red onion, a smear of honey mustard, and pepper jack cheese that gave the sandwich a little bite. My only complaint is that the Dr. Pepper Pork should have been tender and moist, and it was disappointingly dry. I ordered in late afternoon, so perhaps the meat had been sitting in the heat a bit too long. Don't let this keep you from trying the sandwich, since my coworker had the same one at lunchtime another day and said it melted in her mouth.
Some people might think the generous sprinkling of herbs on the bread is too much, but I enjoyed the added flavor. I like it when bread actually contributes something to the overall product instead of being just an afterthought.
Next time I'd like to try the Chicken Salad Wrap (grapes, almond, tomato, bacon, mayo, spinach) or the Shore Wrap – fresh salmon, avocado, carrots, cucumber, secret sauce, mixed greens – but maybe hold the carrots.
Sisters has a large cooler stocked with a variety of drinks, including beverages from Maine Root and Green Bee.
Not much has changed since the space was home to Wannawaf. Customers order and pick up at the counter, and there are about 20-25 seats, much of it counter-height seating. The sea green walls are highlighted with yellow accents, and the tips of all the chair legs are dipped in pink. I noticed some of the counter seats had hooks screwed into the counter by them, so that women have a place to hang their purses, or men their jackets – a nice little touch.
Bottom line – this place is definitely worth a try.

BHUBANESHWAR, India, June 2 (Reuters) - The Indian state of Odisha said on Friday it had approved a plan by JSW Steel to set up a 10 million tonnes a year steel plant costing about 500 billion rupees ($7.8 billion).
JSW, which is India's biggest steelmaker by capacity and produces 18 million tonnes a year, has sought 4,500 acres of land which were earlier allotted to South Korea's Posco , Odisha state-chief secretary Aditya Prasad Padhi told Reuters.
"We will evaluate the exact amount of land required for the project and give them the land," Padhi said, adding the project is likely to be built in four years.
The government of the state in the east of India has also approved JSW's plan to lay a slurry pipeline linked to the plant.
JSW would submit expressions of interest for two iron ore mines in the eastern state of Odisha, its Joint Managing Director Seshagiri Rao had said in April. ($1 = 64.4150 Indian rupees) (Reporting by Jatindra Dash; editing by Alexander Smith)

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — In the hours before taking on the Tampa Bay Rays, Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave is getting a haircut.
"I've gone up and down a couple times between Triple-A and here, and whenever I come up I always try to get an Andy Fade cut," Cave said.
His barber's name is Andy Duran, but the Twins know their team barber as "Andy Fade."
"I try to be here all home stands, so you come to the field, get these guys ready, make them look good for the game," Duran said.
Duran is from Rochester, New York, and was born in the Dominican Republic. He came up in Triple-A baseball.
"I made my way up here just like a player [laughs]!" Duran said. "Making a good relationship with the guys, with the team, you know. Doing what you've got to do. That's the key," Duran said.
A man who cares about his hair, or his beard, is loyal to his barber.
"They get called up and they was like, 'Hey, you want to come into Minneapolis?' I'm like, 'For sure, let's do it,' you know. So that's how everything started, like, in 2014, around there," Duran said.
You earn that loyalty when you're good at what you do.
"There's times where I'm in Triple-A, you know, I keep trying to hold off. Like, if I get the call up soon, how long can I hold off on this haircut so I can see Andy up there?" Cave said.
"You know, I don't even ask him what he wants. I already know his style, what he wants," Duran said. "Some of them the signs, like little lines and stuff like that, so you know, I do it all."
Sure, Duran gets paid for these sweet fades, but there's more.
"It's nice when you see yourself on camera and you see yourself, you're looking good, you know. I like when I do my job and I look at it on TV and I'm like, 'Oh, you know, it came out perfect, you know, it came out good,'" Duran said. "I like that. That's me. Everyone. Not just Cave [laughs]!"
It's easier to play well when you've got a guy like Duran in your clubhouse.
"He makes me look like a different guy. I got all these grays in my hair, he makes it look good," Cave said. "I'm definitely not dyeing it. I'm rolling with it."

$html = LBWeb::loglist_html( %params );
Returns HTML of the logfile list to directly show the overview of your logfiles in your plugin. It is thought to show the list on navigating a Logfiles tab ($navbar), but you can integrate the HTML where you like.
LoxBerry Compatibility
This function is available starting with LoxBerry V1.2.5. If you use that function, set this minimum version in your plugin.cfg.
This feature only works with logfiles creates with the module LoxBerry::Log (Perl) or LBLog (PHP). It does not work for logfiles created with own logging features (as the list is read from the LoxBerry logfile database).
The function returns a preformatted html string of the list of your logfiles. Additionally, with the NAME parameter, you can filter to a specific logfile group name (e.g. 'Daemon') to only show that logfiles.
To give parameters to the function, use an associative array with named parameters.
Case sensitivity
All parameter names are case-sensitive and written in capital letters.
Calling loglist_html in a plugin without parameters will return the html with all logs of the current plugin (=package).
NAME is the log group name used with LoxBerry::Log/LBLog. If you have created a logfile with LBLog::newlog( [ name => 'Daemon' ]), use NAME => 'Daemon' to list only logfiles of that group.
If you omit the NAME parameter, the list includes all logfiles of your plugin, independent of the log group name.
Package is not required in the case of a plugin. By default, this is the $lbpplugindir-Variable.
Core-Developers have to use the PACKAGE parameter.
Return value
Returns a string that is the HTML code of the logfile list. Print the result of the function to your webpage.
Returns FALSE, if the call failed.
require_once "loxberry_web.php"; $html = LBWeb::loglist_html ( [ NAME => 'daemon' ] ); echo $html; # Core-developers: Also use the PACKAGE parameter $html = LBWeb::loglist_html ( [ PACKAGE => 'Plugins Update', NAME => 'check' ] ); echo $html;

5 – pray for peace
I pray for peace
for no more cameras
in the face of bloodied children
clawing out of fragmented buses
no more pained leaders
griping about the lack of fair media coverage
it's more important to be righteous
that it is to be right
I pray for peace
and wonder what will come next –
no that's a lie
I don't wonder
because what will come next
has already happened
the same war in different places
the same inflexible jargon
this land is our land not your land
they march forth
with the word of god on one side
and the sword of god on the other
I pray for peace
for the righteous and the right
to get on the same talk show
to get Oprah over there
but no side is ready
for that close up
until there is enough sand kicked
so the rich stain of trickling
sweat blood and adidas
in the the frame for the camera
I pray for the camera men
for freedom of the press
how dare you shoot reporters
journalist don't want your land
they just want to reduce it to
quick clips flashes of bombs
parents wailing – please help
no no no
get over there
for the background of this shot
we have to keep the cameras rolling
risk our lives for higher ratings
now there's a cause worth fighting for
this scrap of land for my camera man
my sound guy and the line feed grip
if you dare not let
our preproduction teams in
you'll get no sponsors for your war
this dismemberment moment from
the makers of daisy fresh panty liners
I pray for peace
but not too sincerely
because I don't want to upset
the world economy
too much peace means higher inflation
when the death rate is lower
there are more starving to feed
I pray for peace
so I can watch TV in peace
so I can get back to reality escapism
sitcom movie stars in crisis
no war to worry about
only the daily grind to occupy me
with a future of safe routes
because that's what peace is all about
The concluding Section 5 is more theme and variation. As the piece progressed I increased the level of cynicism in the face of what never changes yet pretends to wants to change. The media coverage, or is it obscurage, of events has been the same for as long as I can recall. I've looked at press from WWI, read about the Spanish Civil war & nothing has changed except the speed at which we get the image.
Locations, names, weapons may change but causes remain the same. Media has become very protective of its right to 'report' without taking sides. Now we get security camera footage & handheld cell video so everyone is a reporter and everyone is showing the truth of the moment.
'daisy fresh panty liners' is a reference to the Daisy Cutter bomb. It seemed a fitting, if cruel, interpolation of what happens with this bomb and a product used to absorb blood. 'What if they gave a war and nobody came' a 60's slogan runs through the subtext of this whole series. Even CNN breaks for commercials & some sponsors have specified they don't want their ads run during certain types of new coverage.
Like so many things we ordinary folk want the actually ramifications are deeper than we realize. Ending war could cripple the world economy. A cure for the common could would cripple the pharmaceutical industry. So the peace we pray for often isn't world peace but for peace of mind in a world that is driven by profit.

LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- As many families struggle to cope with flooding in Texas, some are abandoning their dogs and overwhelming shelters.
Now a Colorado dog rescue is stepping in to help.
"It's a pretty urgent situation down there," said Deb Hill, Executive Director of Homecomings Dog Rescue. "The shelter director called me and said, 'We are in deep trouble.'"
Deb says her shelter has been rescuing dogs from the Stephens County Animal Shelter for quite some time. She says many people have lost their jobs in the oil sector and, in turn, abandoned their dogs.
She says the flooding made a bad situation even worse.
"That's Sloan," Hill said, pointing to a photo on her phone. "He is a sixth month old border collie mix. He was found dumped with his two brothers."
The Stephens County Animal Shelter hasn't taken on water yet, but when flood waters cut off half the town of Breckenridge, TX, on Monday, the shelter was flooded with dogs.
"A lady went to the grocery store and there were flood waters and she went to get into her car when she came out and a young German Shepard just jumped in her car," Hill said. "She didn't know what to do so she just brought him to the shelter. We'll probably get him next week."
On Friday they transported a total of 17 dogs into Lakewood. They are spending the night with foster families but they are hoping to find them permanent homes during two adoption events on Saturday.
Both events last from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Some of the dogs will be at the Lakewood Petsmart located at 160 Wadsworth, and the rest will be at the Glendale Petsmart located at 4300 E. Alameda. You can view the dogs available here.
There is also a GoFundMe.org page set up.

If you are looking for a comfortable midsize car for your family, you can choose the Kia Optima SX Turbo. This car has a very comfortable space for both children and tall passengers. The system is also user-friendly with an upgraded interface. In its class, this car is also known as smooth-ride if it's compared to its rival.
Specifications of Kia Optima SX Turbo
Optima SX uses a front-wheel drive. The engine type is inter-cooled turbo I-4 which produces an output of 245 HP / 6000 rpm. The general torque value is 260 net / 1350 rpm. This turbocharged engine has 4 cylinders. The transmission only consists of automatic with overdrive. Unfortunately, the fuel consumption isn't the best in its class. The ratio of city trips and the highway is 21/30 mpg.
The front suspension uses strut and the back is multi-link. The car is also supported with complete safety features, including airbags for drivers, passengers, front head, rear head, and front side. Other features include DRL, child safety locks, brake assist, traction control, blind-spot monitor and stability control.
The SX turbo series has a different look than other trim levels. The car that was released in 2016 is sportier when viewed from the side. The door handle and rearview mirror are the same color as the car body. While from the front, the car looks charming with a black grille, double-designed headlights, and bumper with the same color.
While from the rearview, this car looks bulky. This happens because Optima has a very large luggage capacity. Rear lights have used projector LEDs. The luggage opening has the Kia logo, while on the left side; you'll see the Optima SX logo.
Optima SX has roomy interior room capacity so that makes all passengers feel comfortable. The space in the first and second row has a very spacious legroom so users will not feel tired on a long journey. Optima can carry up to 5 people. Passengers with a height above 6 feet still feel comfortable in the back row.
The material used in the interior is made from premium and the design is charming. The most reliable part of this car is its cargo capacity of 16 cubic ft. Users can put various grocery items or put some luggage for a vacation. In the midsize car class, this car is still leading in its class for the luggage capacity section.
When you make a long trip, the infotainment feature will still make the trip be cheerful. This car is equipped with 6-speaker audio, Bluetooth, USB port, and UVO infotainment system, Wi-Fi hot spots, satellite radio, and an 8-inch touch screen. This infotainment system called UVO is responsive enough to control various other features.
Price of Kia Optima SX Turbo
In the USA, this car is sold at prices starting at $ 31,990. The SX turbo variant is the highest variant of the entire Kia Optima trim. In terms of engine and material quality, the SX turbo is the best trim. But in the midsize car class, the price is still in the average range.
Kia Optima SX Turbo competes fiercely with its rival, the Mazda. Optima has smooth handling and a powerful engine. Unfortunately, this car is not fuel-efficient compared to Mazda. But if you want a car that is comfortable for the family, then this car is the answer.

Season 2, Episode 5: 'Rebecca'
You could look at the latest episode of "Better Call Saul" as another chapter of a serialized tale. But it might make more sense to regard it as a public service announcement with a very simple message: Don't go to law school.
Much of this episode concerns the tedium and humiliations of life in corporate law, the fate awaiting many law school graduates who are lucky enough to land jobs. The bulk of events centers on Kim Wexler, who remains in the white-shoe version of the doghouse, performing a brain-deadening assignment in what appears to be the library at a minimum-security prison. Kim is doing "document review," which any young associate will tell you is the lowest form of grunt labor — so low that it is now outsourced to foreign countries as a cost-saving measure.
As an associate with some seniority, Kim should have enough juice to avoid this kind of job, but she is being punished — unfairly, you may recall — for her attempt to minimize the ignominy her love interest, Jimmy McGill, must endure over his unauthorized client solicitation ad. Here, Kim desperately tries to win herself clemency by landing a big client, figuring that if she can add something to the firm's bottom line, the partners will return her to her office and work befitting her station.
She's seen calling friends and people she barely knows, trolling for anyone in need of legal assistance. But even after she harpoons a big fish in the form of Mesa Verde, a bank looking to expand into new states (just the kind of time-consuming toil that yields thousands of billable hours), she is refused a get-out-of-jail card. Howard Hamlin, revealing a cruel streak, barely thanks Kim after this new client is landed.
"You've got enough on your plate in doc review," he tells Kim, refusing to upgrade her assignment in the wake of this triumph.
It's not just Kim who dramatizes the grim purgatory of life in a law firm. When Jimmy tries his hand at writing a brief an officious young associate, clearly acting on orders from above to babysit our hero, critiques everything from his word choice to his formatting errors. What is terrible is that she isn't needlessly nit-picking; she is actually trying to be helpful.
Maybe you aspiring lawyers watched all this and thought, sure, it's terrible for those who take the money and work for corporate law firms. I would never do that. I want to put away criminals working for a district attorney. Well, think again. This episode also reintroduces Bill Oakley (Peter Diseth), a prosecutor in the district attorney's office, who crosses paths with Jimmy and makes plain how much he despises his own work. He salivates over the gorgeous office Jimmy must have ("Fireplace! I'd kill my mother for a fireplace."), the car he was surely given ("I bet it's German. Is it German?"), the assistant he's been assigned ("Is she hot? She's hot, right?"). Bill is so overwhelmed by a kind of joyful jealousy that he doesn't notice a horrible stain on his own lapel.
"Yeah, it's vomit," he says, once Jimmy alerts him to the problem. "Worst part, could have come from two defendants."
Get the picture? Either side of the post-law school life — defense or offense — can be ugly and soul-crushing.
The episode writer Ann Cherkis has delivered something singular here. For decades, law firms have been portrayed on television as realms of glamour and intrigue. The reality can be pretty awful because, as many young law firm associates will tell you, the job can be both strenuous and boring. Boring because it consists of jobs like document review and strenuous because when a business profits by billing out your time, there is no upside to efficiency. You have to plant your butt in a seat and sweep that yellow highlighter, back and forth, into the wee hours.
Obviously, this isn't true of every law firm. But it is certainly closer to the reality than, for instance, "The Good Wife." And this episode shows why. The work seems dull and grinding and it is difficult to make gripping television out of dull and grinding. Ms. Cherkis succeeds, thanks largely to her attention to detail. The ordeal of networking for dollars, for instance, is vividly rendered in those scenes where Kim is trying to recruit new business, in places as inconvenient as the ladies' room.
I was really curious if Ms. Cherkis was drawing on personal experience for all this. So I interviewed her briefly on Monday.
"I'm not a lawyer and I did not go to law school," she said, from Los Angeles. She had assistance from a terrific researcher, other writers and her father.
"He's a retired corporate lawyer," she said. "I actually called him a lot. I talked to him about document review, what that looked like at his firm, whether young associates would be assigned that work." She was interested in portraying the drudgery of law firm life, "which, from talking to my father, is all too true."
Near the end of "Rebecca" the show leaves law firms and pivots to Mike, who is eating alone at a diner. In walks none other than Hector Salamanca. What a pleasure to again meet this menacing little cretin and Juarez cartel member.
He was last seen in a wheelchair, committing the murder-suicide that blew up Gus Fring in Season 4 of "Breaking Bad." Here, he introduces himself to Mike with a civility that is chilling, and has a seat in Mike's booth. Then he politely opines that his nephew, Tuco Salamanca, should go to prison for assaulting Mike in the previous episode. But not for the eight to 10 years he'll go away if he's prosecuted for that gun charge.
"I would like for you to tell the police that the gun was yours," he says.
"Then I'm subject to the gun charge," Mike replies.
"You're an ex-cop," Hector says, proving he's done some research. "They go easy on you," Hector adds, also suggesting that Mike will get $5,000 for his troubles. "Think about it," he says, then leaves.
This is exactly the kind of horrendous pickle that "Breaking Bad" and Season 1 of "Better Call Saul" were so adept at dropping characters into — the sort of pickle that has been all too rare of late. Mike squirms when he's once again alone, underscoring that for all his careful planning, he didn't see Hector coming.
"Better Call Saul" has for several episodes told two stories, and now those stories are so different that it is getting harder to solder them into one piece. Jimmy is navigating his numbered days in a law firm, and Mike is gamboling with miscreants, trying to subsidize his daughter-in-law and granddaughter. No doubt these two tales will intersect again, but for now they feel like two separate shows.
Looking ahead, anyone care to guess what Mike will do next? We know that he lives, Tuco lives and Hector winds up in a wheelchair. Take those parameters and feel free to fill in the blanks.

Believe it or now, but the baffler has been around for 40 years!! Cobra is looking to use the equity in the product name with a complete new line of products. The Baffler XL Driver has a 5,000 sq. mm. face (17% larger than the AMP CELLTM Offset Driver) in addition to a 21% increase in effective face area, Cobra said. More of the face is located above the low CG for optimized spin, consistent launch conditions it said. The larger face creates an enhanced trampoline effect, it promises, giving the golfer more consistency with hits across the face. The Baffler XL Driver ($250) is named for the 40th anniversary of the Baffler and part of a line that includes Fairways, Hybrids, Combo Set and Irons, which will debut at retail starting on November 15, 2013.
The new Baffler XL Fairways ($179) and Hybrids ($159) feature a new, high MOI Tungsten Perimeter design with oversized rails. "The Baffler XL Fairways and Hybrids were designed with the specific intent to make golf easier," said Tom Preece, Vice President of Research and Development. "We achieved that through the combination of a high MOI clubhead, low CG, pronounced rails and increased Tungsten in the perimeter. All of these technologies work together to increase ball speed, lower spin, improve confidence at address and ultimately make the ball go farther and make golf easier and more enjoyable." The fairways and hybrids have a thin, high strength steel face with more flex to produce greater ball speed, Cobra said.
The new Baffler XL Irons feature an oversized face with moderate offset design for a forgiving, draw-biased ball flight. The Baffler XL Combo Set features a wide railed sole with more pronounced rails and a beveled leading edge. These design elements make them easy to hit from any lie. "The Baffler XL Combo Set is going to be extremely popular among game improvement seeking players," said Jose Miraflor, Director of Product Marketing. "The technology and design work that went into the Baffler XL Combo Set truly delivers a maximum game improving set that will make it easier to hit the ball, easier to hit the ball far and easier to hit the ball straight."
The COBRA Baffler XL Combo Set ($599/Steel $699/Graphite) features a True Temper steel shaft or COBRA Baffler graphite shaft and comes as a stock set of 4-6H(graphite), 7-PW, GW(steel or graphite). A Baffler XL Iron set ($499/Steel $599/Graphite) is available in a stock set of 4-PW, GW.

Blackmagic Design, a producer of video editing products, says a new version of its DaVinci Resolve Lite product enabling unlimited color correction nodes is now available.
DaVinci Resolve Lite 8.1 has unlimited color correction nodes that enable the use of multiple color correctors for more complex and creative grading, which is a dramatic boost in power over the previous version of DaVinci Resolve Lite that was limited to two nodes, Blackmagic says. Adding more than two color correction nodes was the top requested feature by DaVinci Resolve Lite colorists, the company says.
To help promote the art of color correction, DaVinci Resolve Lite includes many powerful features found in the full version of DaVinci Resolve for a powerful toolset that can be downloaded free, the company says.
DaVinci Resolve Lite includes all the same high quality processing of the full DaVinci Resolve, but projects are limited to SD and HD resolutions. In addition, unlimited nodes require using a single processing GPU and a single RED Rocket card. Stereoscopic 3D features, noise reduction, power mastering, remote grading and sharing projects with an external database server are features only offered in the full DaVinci Resolve so are not included in this free DaVinci Resolve Lite edition, Blackmagic say. To acquire those features requires an upgrade to the full DaVinci Resolve Software which costs nearly $1,000, the company adds.
"Thousands of colorists have downloaded and are using DaVinci Resolve Lite to help generate a revolution in visual design that's dramatically improving the production values of the entire television industry," said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design's CEO. "We are very excited to be able to offer this new enhanced version of DaVinci Resolve Lite, and we hope that many more people will be able to explore the art of color correction on their television production work."

Having subsidised food importation for many years using earnings from oil, there have been calls to develop and implement a sustainability plan that will ensure that the opportunities in the agriculture sector are not only properly harnessed but maximised to drive non-oil revenue.
While the effect of mechanization may have limited the number of hands required in farms, the opportunities inherent in agricultural enterprises and allied industries in developing countries remain enormous.
In Nigeria, agriculture is the largest employer of labour, especially in rural communities, according to the World Bank, considering the amount of labour generated through various out-grower schemes.
It is in line with this thinking that many investors like Aliko Dangote and even the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, in pursuit of the promise to create 200,000 jobs in the state, are consolidating their job creation drive with various fertilizer plants.
For the Edo State Governor, the revamping of the Edo Fertilizer Plant and Chemical Company Limited, in Auchi was envisioned as a tool for unlocking the agricultural potential in the State by providing the people with low-cost inputs to grow sustainable agribusinesses, attain food sufficiency, diversify the local economy and increase the state's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo, in the company of Ministers of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh and Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah, inaugurated the 60, 000 metric tonnes of fertilizer a year plant, at Auchi.
Indeed, the plant was revived under a public, private partnership arrangement, between the Edo State Government and WACOT Limited, a market leader in agricultural input processing and distribution, and the Federal Government.
The project is part of the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative, designed to disrupt the importation of blended NPK fertilizer into Nigeria, by directly negotiating discounted contracts for procuring core raw materials, blending same locally and selling NPK fertilizer to farmers at a significantly lower price. For the Edo Fertilizer Plant, NPK fertilizer would be sold for half the market price.
In his speech, Osibanjo said: "The President Muhammadu Buhari administration is committed to making it easy for investors to do business in the country. We want to achieve this through the promotion of transparency and efficiency. We want every state to be involved in this drive and create the enabling environment for business to thrive in their domain."
He commended the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, for creating the enabling business environment for the revitalization of the fertilizer plant, adding that the revived facility was proof that the Edo State government was in sync with the Federal Government's initiative to diversify the economy away from oil to the agricultural sector.
He stressed that fertilizer blending plants were being revitalized across the country as a result of the presidential initiative to diversify the economy from crude oil, boost farming activities as well as develop the agriculture value chain.
In his inauguration speech last month, Obaseki said that the project had died pre-maturely because the PDP administration squandered the opportunity for pecuniary gains, noting, "The facility was never operated for a day after it was fraudulently launched by the opposition party about 14 years ago.
What the opposition could not do for nearly a decade, this government, with the support of the Edo people, has done, in only about nine months."
Obaseki said the revitalization was an effort to make the state self-sufficient in food production, noting that the ceremony was a milestone, as the facility was moribund for a long time, depriving the people of the benefits of having a fertilizer blending facility in the state.
According to him, "The aim of revitalizing this plant is to make the state self-sufficient in food production and enable farmers to get fertilizer at affordable prices. We in Edo State are determined to make food available in the country."
The plant will serve not just farmers in Edo state, but also those in neighbouring states, making it a hub for the supply of agricultural inputs.
He said the facility would go a long way in providing fertilizer for farmers in neighbouring states such as Kogi, Delta, Ondo, and Anambra, as it is the only blending plant in the region.
Obaseki commended the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative as well as the management of WACOT Limited for partnering with the state government in revamping the plant.
"This achievement is an open call to other investors to bring in new technology, create more jobs and expand our economic opportunities," he added.
The governor called on the Otaru of Auchi, the community where the plant is located, to ensure the protection of the facility against vandalism as it would provide several economic opportunities for the community and state.
The Edo Fertilizer plant is a bold step in the campaign to diversify the state's earnings, and provide essential inputs for farmers in the state, many of whom have had to go through the drudgery of farming with little or no stimulus for improved yield or income. It is expected that inputs sourced from the facility would serve as a stimulus to revitalizing the business of smallholders and medium scale farmers in the state.
A key highpoint of the revamping project is that it somewhat justifies the argument for Public Private Partnerships (PPP), as the private partners in the project, WACOT Limited has shown that much can be achieved if dedicated public servants mount the saddle of state. Instructively, the turn-around of the facility happened in just nine months after a 14-year hiatus.
Acknowledging this, the Group Managing Director of WACOT, Rahul Savara, commended Osinbajo for commissioning the plant and Obaseki for fostering the partnership between the state and his company.
He said the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative has made local production feasible and sustainable in the country, adding that the company's employees would be made up of 95 per cent indigenous workers.

Introducing Math Mini-Courses from A+ Interactive Math. A+ interactive math is now offering a way to close learning gaps. They offer 20 different Math Mini Courses. Each course offers an in-depth review of math concepts from a basic to advanced level. You get 1 year of access to the online courses and prices range from $9.99 to $19.99. You can review the course as many times as you like with in that year.
With a Math Mini Course you get video lessons, interactive Review, Worksheets+test, automatic grading and printable reports.
We used Elementary and Middle School Division for 1 parent/1 student. We also received the Money Mini Course for 1 parent/student.
The Elementary and Middle School Division course covers a lot. It starts out with an introduction to division and moves on through division in relation to subtraction and multiplication. Then Division using objects, and travels on through to end with dividing a 4-digit number by a 2 digit number. As a mom who does not excel in math I was pleased to see how it broke things down and that the lessons built on each other. I though it was fairly simple to follow. The lessons are clear and were easy to understand.
When they log in it takes them to a main dashboard from there they can select the video lessons w/interactive review. Printable work sheets and test and a how to get started video. You can also view a PDF of the lessons. The girls start with the video lessons w/interactive review. I have them complete all the lessons and reviews before they move on to take one of the test. I did find the printable worksheets to be great. They fit in with the lessons and help to reinforce the concept that was being taught. We have used a lot of printable work sheets.
Our only real complaint is on the video lessons. You have to remember what lesson you completed last. It does not automatically progress to the next lesson when you log in the next day. My daughter has to write down what lesson she did or she forgets by the next day. Not a big issue but some sort of check off would be helpful. You also have to click update lesson status so that it marks that you completed the lesson and marks down a completed date. They also must click the frog to submit an answer on the Interactive Q & A questions.
We also had the opportunity to try out the Mini-Course Money, This starts out with counting pennies, nickles, dimes etc. and continues through to making change and ends with calculating sale prices and interest rates. My 6 year old is working with this one. The beginning lessons on counting and making change are great. She is doing well with them I am pleased to see her money counting abilities are getting better. I like how it progress through the course. Each lesson is building on what they learned before. The graphics are great. She loves that the Interactive Q&A questions are corrected right away. How ever the interest rates are a bit over her head.

The concept of hiring songwriters is highly overlooked and misunderstood in the Nigerian music industry. This is because a lot of Nigerian artistes do not see a need to involve songwriters on their projects, even when it would give their music a better art form and an improved overall quality.
A lot of Nigerian music makers seem to find it enough to focus on the sound production, the repute of featured artistes, promotion, while they put less attention into the art form of music.This impropriety is encouraged by the fact that a lot of Nigerian music lovers would celebrate such music, even when important components like lyrics has been diluted, over a more complete music form.
Since most Nigerian artistes view the music business as a spectators sport, they tend to make structural adjustments to their music, and in most cases, they model their songs to get increased commercial success. This explains why a lot of made-in-Nigeria music would score low in a lyrics assessment test.
Music critics have been quoted to consider a lot of these songs good for dance, having great vibe but shallow in depth and sometimes flawed with incoherent content. Artistes like Yemi Alade, Lil Kesh have been criticised in the past on this basis. Even Wizkid, with his undeniable chorus composing ability, was not spared when he included incoherent lyrics of 'Ogunmola eleniyan, Fashola eleniyan, Baruwa eleniyan …..' into his song, In my bed. A song with a loud sexual theme.
It might not seem a conspicuous dent but lyrical porosity has an insidious effect of denting the music. Although this is tolerable by a lot of fans, credible award organizers keep their eyes peeled for the lyrical content of songs, in their assessments. Lyrically-off songs can be likened to junk food, made in a rush, consumed in a rush, and so they tend to go down the pipe even faster.
The need for Nigerian artistes to make high quality music is not encouraged by the light negativism that ensues artistes hiring songwriters. It is a misconception to think less of the hubris of an artiste on the basis of having hired songwriters to make hit records. Not a few of the internationally celebrated artistes collaborate with songwriters to make music of the highest quality, with Kanye West and Drake on the long list. Wizkid, although guilty of compromise on In My Bed, was celebrated and awarded for writing the record breaking One Dance song by American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
Another songwriting success story is the Password co-written Gobe song performed by Davido. Even with Davido's enviable portfolio, with numerous hit songs up for selection, Gobe would still be considered one of his best songs. The thorough work done on the song is evident and appreciable. A lot of the song's beauty is in the lyrics and the melody. Although the degree of Password's contribution to the song is exclusive, it is speculated that there could have never been a Gobe song without his contribution. If there was, it could have lacked some of the elements that made the song so lovely and fine. This shows just how hiring songwriters can improve the quality of a song.
In addition to that, a songwriter and the performer, in a case where they are different persons, would need to maintain a professional relationship to make this system work. While working on adding quality to ones music, it is also important to avoid the occurence of scandals that originate from allegations of intellectual property theft, music beat theft, unpaid royalty etc, some of which we have seen pollute the ambience of the industry over the years. The blessing of performing a well-written song should be enjoyed without the curse of scandals and relationship breakoffs.
Nigerian artistes, at all levels would do well to increase the attention given to lyrical content of their songs, whether they work with a songwriter or the song is self-written. This way, we are guaranteed of making better grade of music, which is important now that the world is paying attention to the music industry in Nigeria, with songs by Nigerian artistes being exported increasingly. The door to global music appears now to be open to Nigerian artistes, this implies that the bar has been raised, and the stage is now bigger. Players in the Nigerian music business; artistes, performers, promoters, managers, investors and the audience should all makes sense of this reality. We cannot afford to serve our music half-done. To be frank, without striving to make music in the best possible way, Nigerian music would at best achieve commercial success, but the gates to the global awards and recognition would remain shut to Nigerian artistes.
