Hitting out at the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) today said that Akhilesh is one of the most unsuccessful chief ministers, adding that the law and order have failed miserably in the state under his leadership.
Commenting on the deplorable state of affairs, BJP Uttar Pradesh chief Keshav Prasad Maurya said that the land mafias, mine mafias, and cheating mafias have been getting protection under the guardianship of the Akhilesh Yadav-led SP government.
He said that the CM should resign on moral grounds for not only failing to control the law and order situation but also failing to provide security to the women of the state.
"He is one the most unsuccessful CMs. I don't understand why he is still holding the post. He should have resigned on moral grounds. He has failed on all fronts and is responsible for the deteriorating law and order situation in the state, He has also failed to provide security to women," he said.
The Samajwadi Party has been facing heat ever since a 34-year-old woman and her daughter were gangraped in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh.
Meanwhile, family members of the victims' have been threatening to commit suicide if the accused are not brought to book at the earliest.
The Congress has also expressed its ire over SP leader Azam Khan's insensitive comments on the case.
"With folded hands, I request Azam Khan to spare us. Every morning he says something or the other, I don't know whether he states it intentionally or because of some other reason," party leader Renuka Chowdhury said.
"Whether he speaks on his own or says so with the government's backing. God knows what he wants to say and what he understands. What I am saying is, please spare us," she added.
Khan had said that a desperate opposition could stoop to any level to defame and disgrace the government since the state elections are approaching.

Episode 1452Earl from
Earl is buying an LG 55" OLED TV. What's a good sound bar to go with it? Leo says that TVs have speakers, but they're largely an afterthought and they sound terrible. The TV manufacturers expect people to invest in a home theater system. An AV Receiver with surround sound and subwoofer is the best option, but if he needs to go with the sound bar option, then Leo says that Scott Wilkinson really likes Onkyo, Vizio, and Yamaha. Yamaha's YAS106 is a great one for under $300, as is the Vizio SmartCast.
Earl can check out Scott's recommendations at avsforum.com here.

The Ultra Pure System is a 'FINAL STAGE' filter/poilishing system, Once the water is filtered by your Reverse Osmosis and Di filtration process down to 0PPM, 0TDS, the Ultra Pure System will then start a final ultrafiltration process removing further Ionic contaminants, Ions, Gases, until just solely 'SUPERCHARGED' water molecules are left in the 0PPB range.
The Ultra Pure System connects before your hose reel on board. This is a similar process to what happens in the laboratory environment, where they use a 'delivery point-of-use unit' which provides a final filtering/polishing at the point-of-use, delivering Ultra Pure water to the user's specific needs.
FACT: Ultra Pure water loses its ultra purity power by either being stored in tanks for a period of time before use or being transferred into a water tank on board. (thereby being exposed to the atmosphere and starting the process of absorbing carbon dioxide and negative ions). The Ultra Pure System solves this problem by filtering the water just before 'point of use', this ensures that the water processed is of highest quality 18.3 megohm resistivity, 0.055 microSiemens/cm or lower, or in the 0PPB range right to the windows.
Click the link below to watch how quick Ultra Pure Water loses its ultra purity once stored.
Ultra Pure System RefillWe recommend refilling the Ultra Pure System every 4-5 months to maintain the optimum quality of the water. * Our Specialised Micro Beads are packed in Vacuum sealed bags, in a temperature-controlled atmosphere. This is crucial as High-end Sec Nuclear Grade Micro Beads absorb moisture and contaminants from its surroundings before use, shortening the life of the Micro Beads.* The Ultra Pure System has an integrated distribution system built into the tank.£100.00
- Integrated distribution system means greater micro beads efficiency by eliminating top and bottom dead zones and also channeling which can decrease the full use of the Micro Beads by 30%
Inline Strainer Filter1/2 inch hose barb. An inline strainer is recommenced to avoid clogging up the pump from loose debris and tank swarf etc in the water.£25.00
Quick check TDS meterThe Quick Check TDS meter Is a quick and simple way in making sure the water going into the Ultra Pure system is 0ppm. Simply press the button on the monitor, if it's a green light the water is 0ppm, if it's a red light that means the water is higher than 0ppm.£25.00
Ultra Pure SystemTHE FUTURE IN PURE WATER CLEANING£399.00
- Turn 0PPM Pure water into 0PPB range Ultra Pure water
- Extra simple design for minimum maintenance and easy operation
- High quality parts
- Up to 15 litres a minute of Ultra Pure water
- Easy to install
- 4 - 5 months of Ultra Pure water per refill
I heard about Ultra Pure water & my first instinct was that it might be overkill. But after researching and looking into its technology I decided to give it a go. It was so simple to install and it plumbed straight into the existing system on my van, no hassle and I could notice the difference instantly.
That hard to clean dirt from birds, snail trails simply dissolves with very little effort. The brush feels lubricated as it glides quickly and effortlessly across the glass.
I did use a water additive before but Ulta Pure water made those addictives look rubbish and also the money I now save from not having to use it.
Also, this system is second to none when it comes to first cleans & cleaning heavily soiled gutters & any upvc & it cuts through that dirt almost as well as a regular clean. I just wish this Ultra pure system was available years ago.
First Day I tried the Ultra Pure System was on a 'First Clean' and you could really tell the difference to using regular Pure water! Cleaned over the vents and there was no spotting left at all! Also used it on a restaurant window that always for some reason left marks with regular pure water but the Ultra Pure was amazing it left no marks!
Defo speeds up your work, once you see the results as you become more confident in it's excellent results!!
Design is slick and sturdy! It's really easy to fit into your van.
Would highly recommend to window cleaners out there! Great product!!

I am spending a blissful week at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia, where I taught in the Graduate Programs in Children's Literature for the six-week term last summer as well as for six weeks in the summer of 2014. I'm not here to teach this time, however. I'm here just because I couldn't bear to stay away. Our beloved founding director, Amanda Cockrell, is retiring after a quarter century in the position. My dear friend Lisa Rowe Fraustino now takes the helm. I wanted to be part of the gala farewells to Amanda and to spend time with colleagues and former students returning for reunion week.
So here I am. I'm writing this while sitting at "my table" in the Hollins library, looking out at a grassy hill rising toward the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I love work. I always have. And I especially love working at a beautiful table in a beautiful library on a beautiful campus in a beautiful city. Plus walking twice around the permimeter of that campus at sunrise. Plus eating scrumptious cafeteria breakfasts (how I love made-to-order omelettes, and hash-brown potatoes, and biscuits with butter and jam.). Plus attending luncheon talks on craft, and an inspirational talk last night by visiting author Guadalupe Garcia McCall. And a pool party Tuesday night, dinner party tonight, and Francelia Butler Conference all-day Saturday.
I'm so happy here, and so productive here, too. Maybe I'm so happy partly because I'm so productive. And maybe I'm so happy and productive partly because I'm so intellectually and creatively stimulated. So now my question for myself is: can I find a way to be this happy and productive at home?
At home I take a lovely walk each morning at 6 am with a dear friend and a faithful dog. So I already have that. At home I make myself breakfast - maybe I could go to a little extra effort to make a more lavish one? But maybe that's not worth it. At home I have lots of creative and intellectual friends - maybe I should make sure to have regularly scheduled breakfasts and lunches with them, or to find stimulating talks to attend together. Still, I do have all these delightful Hollins-y things already in my life.
The main thing I lack is a place to work that is as inspiring as this table - so quiet, with so much room to spread out my books and papers, in a room so full of light, with a view so serene. I have an acceptable little office at home, with a desk I keep fairly uncluttered, and a view out into a tree where squirrels scamper and play. But . . . it isn't THIS quiet, and THIS beautiful, and THIS sacred a spot consecrated to doing the work of my heart. So I think I should give myself the pleasant challenge of trying to find one.
The one thing I can't find a replacement for at home is the whimsical little children's literature characters, created by Hollins faculty member Ashley Wolff, which are hidden all around campus.

Burnham-On-Sea Coastguards were called to Brean Down for a second consecutive day on Tuesday (February 12th) following concerns for the welfare of a dog owner attempting to catch one of his two dogs off their leads.
On Monday a dog was feared to have been killed in a fall from Brean Down, and Coastguards were called back to Brean again on Tuesday afternoon shortly after 3pm.
A Burnham-On-Sea Coastguard spokesman said: "We were tasked to reports of an owner who was attempting to catch his dog that had become distracted by the local wildlife."
"He had two dogs that were off their leashes and were very eager to explore everything they could."
"We were tasked after reports came in from various sources that one of the dogs had been caught and was safe while the other was seen to be chasing and barking at the goats."
"The goats, who are naturally sure-footed on such terrain, were able to easily avoid the dog and took refuge in their rocky overhang where they gather."
He added: "The worry was that the owner, who was dashing after the dog, was either in danger of falling or risking his own safety should the dog fall, as we are only called to a risk to human life this was a clear indication that there were worries for the owners wellbeing."
"As we arrived on scene and drove the vehicle to the top of Brean Down the radio burst into life, there was an update that the owner had managed to get his dog back onto a leash and was safe."
"As we were already along by the Fort where he was said to be located we had a quick scout around for him but there was no sign."
"One of our team members who had arrived from work was at the base of the Down and spotted him walking down the steps. Once he was close he attempted to speak to the man and let him know we were on scene and wanted to check he was OK, but when approached he was very angry and became verbally abusive while continuing onwards to his car without breaking stride."
"We understand that it can be a stressful time. It goes without saying that we are here to help without judgement no matter the circumstances, so it is always a little disappointing when we encounter people who are so quick to act in this manner."
"We are only concerned about people's welfare and, when necessary, issue safety advice."
"This chap was very lucky to walk away with both his dogs and no loss or injuries. It is so important to keep dogs on leads whilst on high ground, there are signs urging caution but ultimately it is the owners responsibility to ensure dogs are on leads where there is a danger of falling, plus dogs should be controlled and not chasing the goats or causing them worry."
"There are miles of beautiful beach for dogs to run freely and safely. So always remember any high ground keep old 'Rover' on a lead, it could save your beloved four-legged family member's life."
"If anything does happen, please dial 999 immediately and ask for the Coastguards. Never put yourself at risk."

Stacy: Snapped
Detective Hawkins leaned back on his heels, gasping for breath.
His partner, Smith, peered at him over the body, noisily working on a piece of chewing gum, apparently unaffected by the stench of blood and other bodily effluvia.
Hawkins hated his partner, had since day one. After 8 years on the force, Smith was easily the thing he'd hated most. Hawkins fists clenched as watched Smith idly wind the victim's intestines around his pencil.
Later, as they led Hawkins away, the beat cops stood over the remains of his partner, shaking their heads. Interesting use for a fire hydrant, that.

Astronaut Scott Kelly's DNA, gene expression studied after year in space
Astronaut Scott Kelly set a record for the longest single spaceflight in U.S. history, and now, two years later, NASA has released new research about what the nearly yearlong stay in orbit did to his body. It confirms preliminary findings that Kelly experienced changes to his gene expression -- although experts say reports that Kelly's DNA changed in space are an exaggeration.
Kelly spent 340 days on the International Space Station in 2015 to 2016, along with Russian crewmate Mikhail Kornienko.
To better understand the potential health impact of a year of weightlessness in space, NASA conducted a groundbreaking study comparing Kelly to his identical twin brother Mark, a retired astronaut who remained here on Earth.
The twin brothers underwent medical testing before, during, and after lengthy mission.
One of the more interesting findings of the study concerned what some have dubbed the "space gene." Researchers discovered that while 93 percent of Scott Kelly's genes returned to normal after landing, the remaining 7 percent did not. NASA called the amount of change "very minimal," but said it could point to possible longer-term changes in genes related to his immune system, DNA repair, bone formation networks, hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), and hypercapnia (excessive carbon dioxide in the bloodstream).
Derrick Pitts, chief astronomer and planetarium director at the Franklin Institute, told CBS News that understanding these factors becomes especially important when considering the potential for longer-term human space exploration and the health effects that could have on the body. A trip to Mars, for example, could mean astronauts spending at least 3 to 4 years in space.
"We do not yet clearly understand how the space environment fully affects the human body," Pitt said on CBSN, "and of those changes, how do we mitigate them and can we see a correction if we come back to a normal Earth environment?"
He offers the hypothetical that if humans suffered long-term health issues because of the way the genes expressed themselves following two years in space, that would drastically impact plans for future missions.
"What that would mean would be that we would have to abandon the idea of the human exploration of the solar system because everything else is more than 600 days away," he said. "So that would make a major change in how we think about exploring the solar system, exploring space, and a change in understanding who we are and what we can do as explorers."
Of course, we are still years away from having such knowledge, since Kelly's year in space is the longest time period for which researchers have this kind of data.
Pitts also explained that changes in gene expression aren't that uncommon even here on Earth. NASA describes gene expression as "how your body reacts to your environment," and a huge variety of everyday factors -- from the amount of exercise a person gets, to the type of diet they eat, to which drugs or toxins they're exposed to -- can have an impact.
"Let's take twins. We can have a twin on the west coast and a twin on the east coast and what will happen is that those twins will react differently to their environments, so the way their genes are expressed will be different," Pitts said.
NASA issued a statement Thursday offering clarifications on the research after some reports claimed Kelly's DNA had actually changed in space.
"Mark and Scott Kelly are still identical twins; Scott's DNA did not fundamentally change," NASA said. "What researchers did observe are changes in gene expression, which is how your body reacts to your environment. This likely is within the range for humans under stress, such as mountain climbing or SCUBA diving."
Susan Bailey, a professor at Colorado State University and a lead researcher of the twins study, said she was shocked to see such headlines.
"It was news to all of us too," Bailey told CBS Denver. "I think it was a very innocent comment. An innocent tweet that just exploded. It really caught people's attention and imagination."
On March 10th Kelly tweeted out an article saying his DNA had changed. He joked that even he was surprised.
Bailey said her research, and nine other studies, aren't finalized yet and should be released from NASA later this year.
"It's really just the beginning of finding out what space flight does to people," she said. "We're still trying to figure out what that means and what caused it and if there's any kind of long-term health risk associated with that."

If you are looking to invest in a Bluetooth keyboard case for your iPad, then you will find this article review very helpful. Below, we have reviewed the Yekbee iPad Keyboard Case for iPad 2018, one of the Best iPad Keyboard Case for School available. It will work effectively with your Apple iPad 2018, iPad 2017, iPad Air 2, or Air 1.
(6th Gen) – iPad 2017 (5th Gen) – iPad Pro 9.7 – iPad Air 2 & 1
This Bluetooth iPad keyboard case by YEKBEE allows you to conveniently type or view videos on-the-go while guarding your tablet against accidental drops or even scratches. The case provides numerous viewing angles, thanks to its 360-degree rotatable feature. This means you can use your iPad in both portrait and landscape orientation.
The hard case offers decent protection to your iPad. Besides that, it can be effortlessly detached from the keyboard for standalone usage. It features durable polycarbonate shell and shock-resistant corners, which ensures the safety of your iPad against any hard falls, scratches, and spills. The reinforced aluminium hinge is very robust, and you can adjust the device in any angle to find the one which suits you best.
Another main attraction of this keyboard case is the backlit keys. The 7-color backlit keyboard comes with three brightness levels, which are remarkably handy when working in low light conditions. Your tablet's auto sleep/wake feature also works nicely with this case, which allows extending the battery life.
This comfortable YEKBEE iPad Keyboard Case for iPad provides a more natural way to type, viewing, reading, presenting, and watching your favorite shows or movies. The edge-to-edge design of well-spaced keys provides laptop-like typing, hence ensuring optimal typing. The keyboard case is both stylish and functional. It looks as premium as the iPad itself and comes in three matching colors to choose from.
The Yekbee iPad Keyboard Case for iPad 2018 is outstanding. It fits snugly on the tablet, and the finish is top-notch. Additionally, all the hole cutouts are in the correct place. Not to mention it pairs easily with your iPad using the Bluetooth. It is perfect for students who would like to use their iPad as a mini laptop.
I bought a Yekbee 360 iPad case and it began to fail after one month. First the space bar wouldn't work, then other keys failed.I found out I could not get a replacement thriugh Amazon, for some reason. I tried to get in touch with the manufacturer by phone and email but never heard back from them. I would not recommend this product and the "world-class customer service" touted on Yekbee's website appears to be a fairy tale.
It is always so disappointing to hear stories of not just failed hardware but also lack of customer support from the manufacturer. I would try Amazon again to help you get a response from the manufacturer. At the end of the day, you have been supplied with a product that is not of merchantable quality.
Having issues with the yekbee ipad keyboard case. Some keys does not work and some, when I press do something different to what the key corresponds. For instance, the delete key does not work. It does not do anything. When I press the number 2 key, the brightness of the screen decreases. If I press the actual key that should be used to decrease brightness, nothing happens. The letter L key does not work either. Something is wrong. I do not know if it is a setting that is wrong or that the keyboard has a glitch. Can anyone give me suggestions?THANKS!!!!
I had some problems with long lag from pushing each key down and holding a split second to register on the screen. the right shift key was small and placed strangely. I wrote to Yekbee and with no hesitation they said they would send me the newest model that has addressed the lag problem, made the shift key larger and in the right place and now comes with ten back light key colors. They didn't won' the one I had back and shipped to it the next day. Customer service was wonderful. did this directly with Yekbee and not through Amazon all though they were.following this closely I later. found out. loved the first one can't wait to get my hands on the updated one
The letters b and n suddenly stop working on my keyboard.
I received my 360X keyboard for my iPad as a Christmas present. A couple of keys weren't working. I called Amazon and they sent me a replacement — that very day! Unfortunately, a few months later more keys on the replacement keyboard are also not working. I called Amazon again. They said they couldn't give me another replacement but will refund the purchase price when I send it back. Still need an iPad keyboard. Anyone have a suggestion?
I got a Yekbee keypad. If I turn it of and back on the keyboard will light briefly, otherwise it doesn't light up.
Within a few months of use, the keyboard breaks away from the case. I purchased 15 cases 6 months ago; I have returned close to 1/2 of the order already
I am trying to be verrrrrry patient here. I bought the 360 Keyboard for my iPad 6th generation 9.7". I ordered the blue, and I was jazzed because I own the ZAGG keyboard for my older iPad mini, original, and the backlit were a Godsend when camping and not having enough light sometimes. (Backlit keys eliminate the need for light that attracts bugs galore)
Well, first thing I notice is that I cannot, for the life of me, get the backlit keys to work. When I initially turn the keyboard on, they backlight up with blue. Cool. Great. Then it disappears. But the fun stops right there. Nowhere can I find the buttons that turn the backlight keys on, not the color or light keys at the top. On other demo videos there is a lightbulb key on the bottom, which my keyboard surely does not have.
Another wonderous, if not confusing, is how I managed to receive a keyboard of snow white keys. ?
And when I press on the command key, two grey notices of shortcuts appear on the screen, overlapping each other so that the larger screen behind it cannot be read, and if I try to press it with my fingers, it disappears LOL.
I only just opened the bleepin' box, too, and I was sooooo excited to get a case for my replacement iPad 2018.
Well, it certainly would appear I will be doing the "Disappointment Email Tag" game tomorrow.
How do you charge this case I see where but I did not get a cord with it ????
Hi, the keyboard should have been delivered with a USB Micro cable. If not, it is just a standard connection and you can purchase an OEM cable.
Like!! Thank you for publishing this awesome article.

The most difficult part in the Academic Competition is "Writing".
We never know what we will be asked to write, It could be an essay, a story, an article or whatever else. We have to stick to the style and do our best.
Today we talk about Essay writing.
Step 1: Listening to the lecture.
Step 2: Read and mark a given essay.
Step 3: Write your essay and send to firstname.lastname@example.com. Later I will discuss every essay with every student.
Report Writing
Some academic assignments ask for a 'report', rather than an essay, and students are often confused about what that really means. Confusion often arises about the writing style, what to include, the language to use, the length of the document and other factors.
What is a Report?
Essentially, a report is a short, sharp, concise document which is written for a particular purpose and audience. It generally sets outs and analyses a situation or problem, often making recommendations for future action. It is a factual paper, and needs to be clear and well-structured.

Working with Whole Foods Market is another opportunity to center the racial equity work with our clients. We wanted to share a bit more about the process and how it all came about for us.
Selecting an artist for the mural in the parking lot grew out of the equity work Whole Foods Market was doing with our friends The Justice Collective, an organization we deeply respect. To mark the completion of the 90' x 30' mural, Whole Foods Market reached out to us to produce a celebration for the mural and include a Pop-up Market. The name of the mural, "Authentically Oakland" framed the intention of the event as an opportunity to center equity by prioritizing pop-up applicants of color in our local Sweet & Savory, Makers & Designers, and Community Engagement categories and we chose the last weekend in February to celebrate Black History Month.
What really struck us was the value that our vendors received from the opportunity to talk to each other as well as with Whole Foods Market's regional buyers, meet and greet with Chef Tanya Holland, and get in front of Whole Foods Shoppers! We anticipate some interesting collaborations in the future!

Introduction: Toy Parachuter Shooter
I made this toy in about 20 minutes for my kids to shoot their little army parachute guy up in the air. It's a lot of fun and can shoot lots of lite things into the air or across the room. It's all made from scrape from my shop and the blower from an old moon bounce.
To make your own, simply screw a blower motor to plywood with some heavy base. Then attach a 4" PVC tube to the plywood with zip ties and screws. I used duct tape along the bottom of the tube for a better seal. Next cut out a section of the pipe for the loading chamber. Gorilla tape was used for the hinge and it works fine. I also taped a small section around the door opening on the inside of the tube for a better seal. Anything will do for the door handle. Obviously check for sharp edges or screws before letting the kids loose on it.
That's it, plug it in, load it up and have fun.
Here's a large video of it in action. And yes that is an instructables t-shirt my son is wearing.

We check our email, proceed on Facebook, browse the information and look for videos on YouTube. In cartoon college, it became evident that the conventional way of animating has turned into something of the past. Not always so: a few animators go the conventional route, but computer animation and computer generated effects have changed the way animation and movies are created.
Today's animation colleges concentrate on both the older and the newest. Say you are watching a movie like The Wizard of Oz, that was created with celebrities in theatres and matte paintings to showcase that the wallpapers of the Emerald City; now it would be done by computer, in which the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow will be enhanced characters rather than actors . A celebrity would need to voice the character, but sometimes there would be no requirement for a celebrity to really be on place, as it might be revived instead.
When the first movie version of The Lord of the Rings premiered in 1978, it featured a blend of revived cells and live activity rotoscoping (animating over live action), that lent the movie a mysterious and dark look. No matter how the movie was restricted in what it might do and it just covered half of the true narrative. Together with the new Peter Jackson trilogy, lots of the problems the very first movie was not able to reach was remedied with computer technologies, where live activity was combined using computer generated characters. The most notable element of those films was using actor Andy Serkis who played with the infamous Gollum, via a procedure referred to as'motion capture' in which a celebrity is coated with reflective markers, filmed against a green screen and a computer generated character is revived over the movement capture picture.
Animation college taught me the way the motion capture process would revolutionize the manner animation and movies would be produced. The very first Star Wars movies were made the conventional way, using versions of spaceships and matte paintings. From the time the next batch of movies were published in the late 1990s, all of the alien characters and spaceships were computer generated. This is part of the reason the series' founder, George Lucas, has gone back and tweaked his first movies, to provide them longer ambience and include more graphic flourishes which were hopeless when he left the first movie in the 1970s. Nevertheless that was contentious in certain camps, as most die-hard lovers felt that the first movies have to have been left without the new-fangled embellishments.
But most animation colleges provide you with the leeway to discover your specialty. It is great to experiment with the two, which provides an opportunity to choose which functions for you. If you like computers, then personal computer animation might be a fantastic fit. But if you like the way old cartoon looks, there's still an audience for this and if you are in animation college, you may want to provide that fashion a whirl.

The Transformer Prime may be the latest and greatest from Asus, but it has a prohibitive price for your average user. This is where the new budget friendly Asus Transformer Pad steps in. Designed as a low cost alternative to the higher priced Prime cousin, the Transformer Pad is for those who'd like to have many of the features that make the Prime a much desired tablet but without being hard on the wallet.
Among the Transformer Pad qualities, the tablet will retain the Tegra 3 heart while also being 3G and 4G capable. Battery back-up times will be about 10 hours with another 4-5 hours added easily with the optional keypad dock attached. The 10.1 inch display will have 1280 by 800 pixel resolution which, it must be said, is quite modest after what we have seen with the iPad 3. The OS will be Android 4.0 ICS. The Transformer was first unveiled at the MWC and it's good to see it's finally set to make its debut on April 22nd.
However, Asus is mum on the price, though we know it will be cheaper than the Transformer Prime (which starts at $499). Interestingly, while Asus has said it will reveal the pricing on the 22nd of April, retailer BJs is reported to have started accepting pre-orders for the Transformer Pad for $399. That's a whole $100 less, which isn't bad for a device that can also be a laptop alternative.

Are Your Best Employees Pressured to Leave Their Jobs?
I've often heard, and experienced, the tale of the strong employee who shocks everyone and leaves his or her job unexpectedly. Everyone wonders why, and then, gradually, the grapevine reveals that the employee's colleagues and work environment had become unsustainable.
I thought of that common scenario this morning when the news came out that House Speaker John Boehner would be resigning not just from the Speakership, but from Congress altogether. I puzzled over why he would resign altogether from a job he seemed to have a passion for, and had risen far in, and then I remembered my own observations of the work world.
If you're in the position of carrying a significant balance of the workload, it's not unusual for there to be others who feel free to critique heavily from the sidelines, while contributing little themselves, or those who take advantage of the high-performing employee's ability to get work done—and pile even more on.
Once you're a department's, or business unit's, point person for executing assignments, you risk placing yourself in the position of having a thankless job. I've never encountered a company before that did a good job of acknowledging the reality that, regardless of promises of collaboration, there is always one person in each work group who carries the heaviest load, and without whom the work simply wouldn't get done. The delusion of an equal sharing of the workload in each department makes it hard for companies to provide adequate support to those carrying the heaviest loads. Many, if not most, of these individuals do not carry titles commensurate with their contribution, so it's easy for them to be overlooked, and even beat up on. That, obviously, wasn't the problem for a person who carries the title of Speaker of the House, but it is a problem for many of your employees carrying the heaviest workloads with ample pressure, and little acknowledgement or support from the company.
How can companies better recognize and support those contributing the most completed and delivered work in each business unit? Since titles are usually not a good indication of workload level, how can trainers and Human Resource professionals go about doing this?
The first step is getting rid of the delusion that work is shared equally in each work group. Most of us have seen for ourselves that this isn't true. There's often an informal role division in which one employee becomes the work horse, another the critic and loudest voice, and another (or two or three) the lesser work horses who become resentful when the lighter workload they are carrying—compared to their chief work horse colleague—is pointed out.
A trainer or Human Resource specialist helping to develop a work group has to first recognize, based on performance reviews and meetings with each member of the team, that one person is carrying a much heavier load than the others. It's usually hard for a work group's manager to recognize the group's hardest worker, since they may tend to reflexively favor another employee they simply like better, or who is a friend of theirs. For that reason, it is helpful for an HR representative, or a trainer, to sit in on performance reviews for an objective perspective. It's also important for performance reviews to emphasize the importance of employees listing in itemized fashion their work routine, and tasks completed, on an average day. This is something I always did on my own because I always suspected that few knew how much I did, but most employees probably don't realize that a performance review is an opportunity not just to be evaluated and rewarded, but to set the record straight.
Once the record is set straight on who is doing the most work in each work group, rather than who has the highest or fanciest title, the next step is figuring out how to best support them, so they aren't burnt out, and pressured by colleagues/critics who, in reality, are contributing much less. I would recommend making the manager of each work group aware of the workload dynamic they may be missing, and then suggest the manager have a conversation with the star employee to let her know the boss realizes the heavier workload she has been shouldering, and that if the burden becomes unmanageable or overwhelming, to not hesitate to knock on the boss' door. The key is letting the star employee know she's appreciated, and that the boss would prefer finding strategies to offset the pressure placed on her, rather than lose the work group's most important contributor.
How does your company acknowledge star employees in each work group, and then ensure these star players don't end up unrecognized, unsupported, and burnt out?

Obama: New Orleans Not Forgotten
NEW ORLEANS - President Obama praised the resiliency of this city's residents in rebuilding their flood-wrecked homes and promised to continue funneling federal dollars to the effort.
"It is always an inspiration to spend time with the men and women who have reminded the rest of us what it means to persevere in the face of tragedy and rebuild in the face of ruin," Obama said during a town-hall-style meeting Thursday at the University of New Orleans.
Obama's visit to New Orleans - his first as president and his sixth since Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in 2005 - was eagerly awaited by residents and leaders throughout the Gulf Coast, who still rely on federal resources to rebuild from the floods.
Obama brought along members of his Cabinet, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan and Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
His first stop was the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School - the first school to reopen in the Lower 9th Ward since Katrina - where he met with students in the cafeteria.
From there, he traveled to the University of New Orleans' lakefront campus, a few blocks from where intake canal levees busted during Katrina, unleashing floods that crushed homes and helped destroy 80% of the city.
As Obama walked into the Recreation and Fitness Center, the crowd roared in approval, reminiscent of his concertlike campaign appear-ances last year.
"It's more than significant that he's here," said state Rep. Barbara Norton, who was in attendance. "He's concerned, and he wants to help get Louisiana back on its feet."
Obama lost Louisiana to presidential rival John McCain during last year elections, but he remains highly popular in New Orleans, a majority Democratic city.
The event drew local leaders from both parties, including Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise and Gov. Bobby Jindal, also a Republican, who met Obama at Louis Armstrong International Airport and escorted him most of the day.
When Obama publicly thanked Jindal, the overwhelmingly Democratic crowd booed.
"Bobby, if it makes you feel any better, I get that all the time," Obama said, drawing laughs. He added, "This person's working hard on behalf of the state."
In his 20-minute speech, Obama praised innovations in the city's public schools, pledged to keep rebuilding levees and wetlands to protect the area from future storms and promised to improve government assistance.
"As we continue this recovery effort, I've made it clear that we're not going to tolerate the usual turf wars between agencies," he said.
"I promise you this . . . we will never forget about New Orleans. We will never forget about the Gulf Coast."

Brady, Patriots torment Tebow
New England weathers quick start by Denver.
DENVER — Not this time, Tim Tebow. Not with Tom Brady on hand.
Brady threw for two touchdowns, ran for another, and the New England Patriots shut down Tebow's late-game heroics and clinched a playoff berth with a 41-23 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
"It was a really good day for us," Brady said. "Very emotional game. It was really rocking early. We showed some mental toughness."
The Patriots (11-3) won their sixth straight game and another AFC East title by bouncing back from an early 17-6 deficit and an awful first quarter in which they were outgained on the ground 167 yards to 4.
This time, there was no last-minute magic from Tebow, who had guided the Broncos (8-6) to four straight fourth-quarter comebacks and six straight wins.
Instead of another slow start followed by a fantastic finish, the Broncos started fast, then fizzled.
They scored on their first three possessions, then were done in by a trio of turnovers in the final 81/2 minutes of the second quarter.
"We showed today that we're not ready to go to the playoffs and make a push," Champ Bailey said. "We've got to get better, and we only have two or three weeks to do it."
Tebow, now 7-2 as Denver's starter, threw for 194 yards and ran for 93 yards and two scores but was sacked four times, including a 28-yard loss in the fourth quarter.
"He's gotten better every week," coach John Fox said. "Six or seven weeks ago, people said he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. He does that. I think he can do that. I don't think that was why we lost the game tonight."
Brady was 23 of 34, including his first scoring toss to Chad Ochocinco. His touchdown run was his first of the year.

London – Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the families of the deceased loved ones, and the community at large in Christchurch, New Zealand, who will be mourning the death of 49 men, women and children in a callous, calculated and premeditated attack by individuals with deep hatred in their hearts.
This is a moment for politicians and leaders to stop and reflect over decades of policy making under the guise of the 'War on Terror', whose actions and policies are premised upon the mass demonisation of Muslims, including treating them as a fifth column within the nations of their birth.
It is incorrect to narrow this down to a fringe group. Much of the rhetoric on which the perpetrator of this attack has relied, is mainstream in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and the West at large.
Individuals allied to think tanks that are in close proximity to the corridors of power, such as the Henry Jackson Society, have openly advocated for 'less Islam' and 'making conditions for Muslims harder across the board'.
These attacks are logical end point of these calls and the language and rationale used in the killers manifesto – depicting Muslims as 'invaders' and 'terrorists' – is reminiscent of many of the messages spewed by such individuals and institutes.
The War on Terror manifested as hot bloody wars abroad, and cold wars at home, demonising Muslims and their beliefs has lead to this inevitable outcome. The rise of racism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, hatred and anti immigrant sentiments are intimately tied to this.
Moazzam Begg Outreach Director for CAGE said:
"Anti Muslim sentiment is not confined to the far-right but lives in the respectable halls of parliament, press rooms and academia. The violence meted out against peaceful worshippers today is generated from the neo-con playbook of alienating Muslims and stoking anti-immigrant sentiments. New Zealand is yet another signpost of the brutality unleashed."
"Our work is all about ending cycles of violence. Currently this cycle is spiraling out of control and our politicians are stoking these tensions and inciting white supremacist nativist thought while refusing to acknowledge the lasting damage to social cohesion, economy and most importantly security for all citizens that their warped narratives will inevitably have. The attacks in New Zealand are a horrifying manifestation of it."

This story is about two 19th wives. The first is Ann Eliza Young , the 19th wife of Brigham Young. Ann Eliza divorced Brigham in the late 1800s and started a crusade against polygamous marriages. The story is told of how both Ann and her mother were forced into their plural marriages. Her father also tells a bit of his own story and her brothers are also included. This is all told from historical accounts of the time. An interesting tidbit is the story of a present day writer trying to get ahold of these accounts. The Latter Day Saints (LDS) church is very reluctant to re-visit such a troubled time in their history.
The second story is in the present time. In a commune of Firsts , a sect that still believes in polygamy, Jason's father is killed and his mother is accused of the murder. Jason was kicked out of the commune at age 14 for holding hands with a girl. Jason returns to try and discover what really happened and to try and clear his mother of the crime.
This book points out the crimes involved in polygamy, the violence behind trying to maintain one's way of life, the sexual abuse and the abuse and neglect the children must put up with. I was intrigued with the history of the LDS but horrified by the total neglect of the woman's and children's human rights. There were a number of extraneous story lines that lead nowhere and were not of any consequence in the story. Jason's love interest and the runaway being but two of them. I still found the story very interesting though.
First Line: "In the one year since I renounced my Mormon faith, and set out to tell the nation the truth about American polygamy, many people have wondered why I ever agreed to become a plural wife."

Continuing the series of posts showing work taken in London in 1979 as posted to Facebook with comments an image at a time in the first half of 2018.
Previous post in London 1979 series
London Photographs 1979 – Peter Marshall
Wembley Stadium, Brent, 1979
19g-46: tree, sign, railing
Although I went to Wembley Stadium in 1979, I found little or nothing the the actual stadium area that interested me, making a few pictures of steps, shadows, sheds and signs, but really nothing of the actual stadium. I suspect I felt too many pictures had already been taken of it.
Palaces of Industry, British Empire Exhibition site, Wembley, Brent, 1979
19g-52: building, concrete, reinforced, derelict
I had come to Wembley to try photograph these derelict buildings which were built in 1922 and 1923 for the British Empire Exhibition of 1924 -25, probably because some of them were about to be demolished shortly I'm not quite sure exactly which buildings I photographed, and although some were demolished in 1980, the last only went in 2013.
Although they had been built for the temporary exhibition, their reinforced concrete made them difficult to demolish, and they had only remained there so long because it would have been expensive to get rid of them. I think this is one of the buildings that was still standing and being renovated when I returned three years later and took some more pictures on Engineers Way.
The Empire exhibition was important in accelerating the development of the surrounding areas of north-west London, much of which soon became covered with suburban housing in the years up to the second war.
The area is I think totally unrecognisable now, with about the only remaining building being the 1934 Empire Pool (now Wembley Arena), which I think I photographed a few years later.
Palaces of Industry, British Empire Exhibition site, Wembley, Brent, 1979
19g-64: building, concrete, reinforced, derelict,
A second picture of the derelict concrete buildings, apparently left standing after the exhibition as it was too expensive to demolish them.
I think I probably took rather more than the handful of pictures in the area during this visit than have survived, and suspect that one of the films that I took may have been ruined by a camera or cassette fault or in processing. Although it is possible to lose digital images though card or hard disk problems – and to delete them by human error, digital is in many ways more reliable than film, not least because you can see some or your mistakes on the back of the camera.
In the 70s and 80s I was always short of cash, and loaded almost all the film I used into cassettes from bulk 100 ft lengths. I used a 'daylight loader' which mean that a short length at the end of each film was exposed in attaching it to the cassette spool, though later I learnt to do this part of the procedure in total darkness to avoid this. Re-using cassettes led to occasional problems with light leaks. Sometimes I used plastic bodied cassettes made for reloading – and these had caps which were quite easy to twist off – sometimes too easy. The metal bodies used by Ilford and most other films had ends which popped off when you squeezed the cassettes and could be re-used but could get too easy to remove with repeated use. (Kodak's were crimped on and needed a can opener to remove and were not re-usable.)
All normal cassettes used felt light-traps on the opening where film emerged and films might be ruined by scratches if grit was caught in these from loading the camera in a dusty place, and we had to try hard to keep them clean when reloading them. Those fabric light traps were not intended for repeated use and this sometimes led to leaks. Leica used to have their own metal re-usable cassette which worked without a light trap, the with a slot opening up inside the camera, but it was hardly practical.
Processing too had its traps. Developers not stored in air-tight containers could react with oxygen in the air and become less active or even entirely useless (though normally they went brown to show this.) Some were meant to be re-used, and careful counting of the number of films developed was necessary to avoid them becoming too weak. As mentioned in a previous post I had to abandon some developers as simply too unpredictable.
One of my late friends, a professional photographer who did a number of jobs for a leading oil company magazine, was flown out by helicopter by them to photograph their North Sea Oil rigs. It was an extremely long and tiring day, and on reaching home she loaded the films into a multiple tank to develop them. After she poured the first chemical into the tank she realised she had poured in the fixer rather than developer. (Fixer is the chemical used to dissolve the undeveloped silver halides from films after development as most photographers will know.) The films were ruined, and she had to go in the next day and confess to her client. Fortunately for her, she had worked for them on many previous assignments and they appreciated her work, and they arranged another helicopter to take her out and make the pictures again. That time she made sure she got the processing right.
22 St Agnes's Place, Kennington, Lambeth, 1979
19h-22: house, decoration,
Friends of mine lived in a council flat a few minutes walk across Kennington Park from St Agnes Place. Lambeth Council had wanted to demolish the street to extend the already large park in 1969, but the properties were squatted and the demolition stopped. The council again tried to demolish them in 1977 but the residents resisted. There was considerable national publicity and a High Court injunction stopped the demolition, and the fight led to the defeat of the Conservative Lambeth Council and the resignation of its leader.
Some properties had been demolished, but the core of the street remained, with many of the houses having been renovated by the squatters. The area had become well known for its Rastafarian community and Bob Marley stayed there several times in the 1970s. Despite some local rumours, spread by some councillors, it always seemed a safe place when I was there, and a haven for many homeless and was a lively cultural centre, though I never attended any of the many free parties there or photographed other activities. It housed a Rastafarian temple and at least in later years it was the home of pirate radio stations Wireless FM and Rasta FM.
The residents formed a housing cooperative and paid their utility bills but Lambeth Council continued to try to evict them, obtaining a possession order in 2003 but failing to enforce it when the residents put up barricades. Two years later the council came back with a High Court order, which meant they could bring in the riot police; this time the residents who had decided only to put up a token show of resistance left peacefully. Most of the street was demolished, with just one property, the Rastafarian temple, remaining for a couple of years until police raided it for drugs and the occupiers were evicted. The council had said they would come to some kind of agreement with the temple occupiers, but reneged on that promise and the demolition was completed in July 2007. The drugs trial collapsed with all defendants being found not guilty.
Just two of the original 3-storey and basement terrace houses remain on the street, still joined to four smaller terraced properties of a similar age on one side,. Further down the street where the properties I photographed were are some newer properties, with more building still taking place. The site of the Rastafarian temple was at one time marked by some decorative paint on the railings, but I think these have now been painted over by the council, but the street no longer runs along quite the same route as it did.
The 12 Tribes of Israel, St Agnes's Place, Kennington, Lambeth, 1979
19h-23: house, decoration,
The houses at 28-34 St Agnes Place were occupied by different groups from the Rastafari community for over 30 years. A thriving hub for the Rastafari community it became recognised as the Rasta International Headquarters.
First squatted in 1969, the remaining premises were closed after a police drugs raid in 2007, where the police made several arrests, but all were found not guilty as the case against them collapsed in court. Some people said that the drugs raid came after a dispute between residents that led to some giving false stories that crack cocaine dealing was taking place. Cannabis use plays an important role in Ratafarian religious ceremonies, used to enhance spirituality and promote unity. They interpret various Biblical references to the 'herb of the field', the 'herb of the land' and 'The tree of life' as meaning ganja (marijuana) and regard the prohibition of its use as an attempt by Babylon to impose an improper restriction on people's religious freedom. Not all Rastas use ganja, and many condemn its irresponsible use simply to get high.
For those of you who don't have your Bible at your side, Genesis 49 is where Jacob brings together his sons before his death and blesses them, giving instructions for his funeral, and in verse 28 in the King James version reads:
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
Symbols, St Agnes's Place, Kennington, Lambeth, 1979
19h-24: house, decoration,
It's a shame that this photograph was not taken in colour, and much as I loved black and white photography and its ability to abstract, to render light and shade, express through form and line with a clarity that usually evades colour photographs, I often think that black and white was something of an aberration, an artifact resulting from the scientific basis of photography. If the efforts of Talbot and Daguerre had resulted in colour images, would anyone ever have bothered to invent black and white photography?
There were people in the 1840s who claimed to produce colour images – and did, but any relationship between the colours in their images and those of the subject was purely accidental, the colours being random freaks of chemistry and physics. Since all early photographic processes were only sensitive to the blue end of the spectrum, producing realistic colour was impossible. Though prints could be and were made in almost every colour though were seldom if ever black and white. Hand-colouring too dates back to the early years of photography, and particularly with the aid of computer technology can look very realistic, but is never authentic.
You can of course convert colour images to black and white, and there have been a few occasions when I have done so, realising at the time of taking or afterwards that a particular image would be stronger in b/w. Back in the darkroom days there was even special panchromatic printing paper made for the purpose, as normal black and white photographic paper is only sensitive to the blue end of the spectrum; printing from colour negatives on it needed lengthy exposures and gave rather odd tonal results.
Once we could scan negatives or transparencies it became much easier, and various software emerged, often as Photoshop plugins, which could make the conversion to black and white resemble more closely the tonalities of b/w film. With digital cameras it became simpler still, and with my Fuji cameras I can now – should I want to – actually view the world in black and white as I take pictures, with the Acros film simulation providing me with a truly filmic view and enabling me to digitally apply yellow, red or green filters.
Under extreme low light conditions or when my finger twiddling has led accidentally to seven stops of underexposure I've occasionally had to convert to b/w to get usable images, but otherwise it's not a feature I've yet taken advantage of. And I find it intensely annoying when some younger photographers who have never learnt to use b/w convert their colour images in the hope that it somehow makes them more seriously documentary.
The Star of David would I think almost certainly have looked better in colour, and also those stripes and the door frame.
Writing by window, St Agnes's Place, Kennington, Lambeth, 1979
19h-25: house, decoration, writing,
There was a great deal of writing on the walls here, and much of it – as in this picture – is misogynistic. It's perhaps best that you can read only a little in this small reproduction, though enough is legible to get the general drift and of course it is clear on the larger original.
One of the more polite texts about women reads 'Blessed is the man who can terrorise a woman with a look', but there are also other subjects. One that rather appeals to me states 'If there was anything in the world worth having – I would not want it'.

For the safety-conscious Swedish market, a United States manufacturer of desktop computers developed a special display screen that produces a much weaker electromagnetic field surrounding the user than do ordinary screens. Despite an advantage in this respect over its competitors, the manufacturer is introducing the screen into the United States market without advertising it as a safety improvement.
Which of the following, if true, provides a rationale for the manufacturer's approach to advertising the screen in the United States?
- Many more desktop computers are sold each year in the United States market than are sold in the Swedish market.
- The manufacturer does not want its competitors to become aware of the means by which the company has achieved this advance in technology.
- Most business and scientific purchasers of desktop computers expect to replace such equipment eventually as better technology becomes available on the market.
- An emphasis on the comparative safety of the new screen would call into question the safety of the many screens the manufacturer has already sold in the United States.
- Concern has been expressed in the United States over the health effects of the large electromagnetic fields surrounding electric power lines.

The big techs were one of the topics during the recently-concluded Bank for International Settlement's annual general meeting held in Basel, Switzerland. The discussion centred on their entry into financial services even with already established platforms in their respective businesses.
Big techs' entry into finance introduces new elements into the risk-benefit equation. Some are old issues of financial stability and consumer protection in new settings, which can be addressed by adapting or expanding existing regulation. But there are also important new elements. Public policy towards big techs in finance needs to build on a more comprehensive approach that draws on financial regulation, competition policy and data privacy regulation.
The "DNA" of big techs' business model
The business model of big techs rests on enabling direct interactions among a large number of users. An essential by-product of their business is the stock of user data. The data are then utilised as input to offer a range of services that exploit natural network effects, generating further user activity. Increased user activity then completes the circle, as it generates yet more data. We dub this the "data-network-activities" loop – or the "DNA" loop.
The DNA loop is self-reinforcing. More data generates stronger network effects, which elicit more activity, leading to yet more data. This means that big tech firms with an established platform have a running start when they venture into financial services.
The source of their competitive advantage depends on the nature of their existing platform. Big techs with e-commerce platforms collect data from the activity of sellers and buyers, and can combine them with financial and consumer habit information. These can be a valuable input into credit scoring models, especially for loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and consumer loans. Big techs with large social...

The study of biological diversity is of interest to biologists of all stripes, especially those belonging to the three sub-disciplines that make up the Department of Integrative Biology – physiology, ecology, and evolution. The most fundamental benefit of the study of Biodiversity is to provide information about the current state of life on Earth so that we can do a better job of detecting and protecting species at risk of extinction. It is estimated that the rate of human-induced extinction is currently two to three orders of magnitude higher than background rates. We can't protect what we don't know exists and, therefore, one of the primary goals of Biodiversity research is to catalogue all of the species on Earth. Ours is not the first generation to have such a lofty goal; taxonomists have strived to achieve this for centuries, but only recently have the molecular and computational tools become available to put this goal within reach. The Biodiversity Institute of Ontario is at the forefront of what is now a global effort and has developed some of the tools (including most importantly, DNA barcoding) that are being used to describe the staggering diversity of life on Earth.
Understanding patterns of diversity requires knowledge of the function, evolution, and ecology of organisms, which makes the major in Biodiversity an interdisciplinary endeavour that is especially well suited to the Department of Integrative Biology. This program will benefit Ontario, Canada, and the world by training graduates who can enter the growing field of Biodiversity Science and associated industries and government agencies, and contribute to global efforts to understand and protect life on Earth. The value of this major to humanity is underscored by the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), of which Canada is a signatory. CBD is a legal commitment to 1) protection and conservation 2) sustainable use and 3) fair & equitable distribution of benefits of genetic resources.
One of the values that we adhered to while developing this major was flexibility, the result of which is a program with ample space for electives. Students in this major will enjoy a capstone experience, which will be offered as two consecutive courses (in semesters 6 and 7, 0.5 and 1.0 credits respectively), called Interpreting Biodiversity I/II. These courses are somewhat unique in that they are built upon a Service Learning model in which the class as a whole works on a single research project.
Further information about the College of Biological Science can be found at: http://www.uoguelph.ca/cbs
Information regarding research and faculty involved in the Biodiversity major can be found at: http://www.uoguelph.ca/ib/
A complete listing of all courses required for this major can be found in the Schedule of Studies located in the Undergraduate Calendar.

Kolak (or kolek) is an Indonesian dessert prepared with a base of palm sugar and coconut milk, flavored with pandanus leaf. One of the most popular version includes plantain and is called kolak pisang or banana kolak.
With its rich and intense flavors, Indonesian cuisine is one of the most colorful cuisines in the world. It is also highly diverse. This diversity comes from the fact that Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 inhabited islands out of a total of 17,508, making it the world's largest archipelago, with more than 300 ethnic groups
In 2011, Indonesian cuisine also started to gain worldwide recognition, as three of its most popular dishes made it to the list of "World's 50 Most Delicious Foods (Readers' Pick)", a worldwide online poll by 35,000 people held by CNN International.
Rendang, the spicy meat dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group actually topped the list as number one. Nasi goreng, the popular fragrant fried rice came in as number two, followed by satay, a region's favorite, at number fourteen.
But back to our kolak.
In Indonesia, where almost 90% of the population is Muslim, kolak is popular during the holy month of Ramadan, as it is often served for iftar (evening meal to break the fast).
Kolak isn't really a dessert though. Typically, Indonesians do not eat desserts as we know them in the Western world. Anything sweet is considered snack food. In Indonesia, there is no major distinction between breakfast or lunch or dinner food. However, there is a on between regular meal food and snack food. Beside sweet food, fried rice, most noodle dishes, and certain other savories are eaten as snack food.
Indonesians eat around six times a day. Generally, people eat dinner leftovers for breakfast. Then a mid-morning snack, often a cake or a sweet and spicey fruit dish like rujak, a mixture of diced fruits and vegetables in a peanut and brown sugar sauce with chili.
At lunch, people typically go home to eat with their family. Around 3 PM, Indonesians eat a second snack, which may include rujak, or kolak, or a crushed ice based dessert like es campur or es doger.
People then go back to work until about 7 PM, at which time they go home and eat dinner. Indonesians often have a third snack later in the evening from the street snack vendors. Such snacks may include satay, mie goreng (stir fried noodles) or other various sweet snacks, such as kue putu, steamed coconut and rice flour steamed in a bamboo tube.
Kolak pisang is the most popular variation of the coconut milk and palm sugar based dessert. The most common bananas used for this variation include plantains (pisang raja) and pisang kepok (saba banana).
Kolak ubi or kolak singkong uses sweet potato (ubi) as well as cassava (singkong) as its main ingredients. This version often includes banana as well. The chewy texture of sweet potato and cassava in kolak ubi is a perfect combination with the thick and sweet coconut milk sauce.
Kolak labu is made with pumpkin (labu kuning). This version is typically children's favorite.
Kolak kolang kaling is a common version of kolak sold during the month of Ramadan. The main ingredient of this version of kolak is kolang-kaling (palm fruit).
The main ingredient for kolak biji salak is sweet potato pearls. Unlike other kolak versions where coconut milk and the other ingredients are cooked together, kolak biji salak is typically cooked in palm sugar syrup. The coconut milk is cooked separately, and it is only added to the kolak before serving.
Other ingredients that can also be added in a kolak include jackfruit or tapioca pearls. Kolak can be served warm, cold or at room temperature.
Pandanus is the other ingredient that is key to any kolak recipe. Pandanus is a palm-like tree or shrub that with about 750 different species. Other common names for the plant include pandan, screw palm, and screw pine.
Although pandanus is used for cooking, mature pandanus leaves are often used for handicrafts. But other parts of the plant are used for housing, clothing, textile for bags, or other uses like fishing or religious usage.
When it comes to cooking, pandan leaves are a popular ingredient of Southeast Asian and Indian cuisines. They add a distinct aroma to rice and curry dishes in recipes such as nasi lemak, kaya (Malaysian coconut jam), and desserts such as pandan cake, which features a distinct green color. In Indian cooking, pandan leaves are often added to biryani.
Pandanus is known as daun pandan in Indonesia and Malaysia, bān lán in China, su mwei ywe in Myanmar, bai toei in Thailand, rampe in Sri Lanka, and as lá dứa in Vietnam. Fresh leaves are typically torn into strips and tied in a knot so they can be removed easily at the end of cooking in a similar fashion as a bouquet garni.
Pandanus can also be found as dried leaves and bottled extract. This extract distilled from the pandanus flower is known as kewra (also spelled kevda or kevada) in India and it is often used to flavor drinks and desserts in India.
Pandan leaves are a major ingredient of Sri Lankan cuisine as featured in our lotus root curry, which was the first time I personally used pandan leaves.
I actually prepared this delicious snack for a weekend breakfast. My kids actually loved it and keep asking me to make it again. Well, kids, there are 195 other flavors and thousands of other recipes for us to discover!

- In the same pot, bring the coconut milk to a boil and stir.
- Add the palm fruits and the palm sugar. Keep stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

Sandra's story
"After 34 years in education I was made redundant. I found myself unemployed for the first time in my life. I was very anxious about going to the DWP. On my first visit I met my fantastic advisor Pauline Francis. Pauline made me feel very relaxed, she was very kind and caring and talked me through the whole process. She told me about the New Enterprise Allowance.
"I told Pauline I had always walked all of my friends dogs for free and that I would love to set up a business as a dog walker, however, I just didn't think it was possible. Pauline told me all about the BIC and the programme they ran for people just like me who knew nothing about running their own business and she put me in contact with Ron Anderson.
"The whole experience has been a huge learning curve for me. I officially set up my dog walking business called 'The Dogs' on the 4th February and I couldn't be more excited. I could never have dreamed that any of this would be possible and without the help of Pauline and Ron it would never have happened.
"My office is now the beach, surrounded by the love of dogs and I couldn't think of a better job in the world."

You will want to learn as much as you can about the position in which you are applying for. If you are like many job seekers, you may have turned to the internet or used your local newspaper's employment section to help you learn about all open jobs in or around your area.

Federal prosecutors indicated in a court filing that they have not decided whether to join Rosenfelds civil suit, which claims that Murray performed surgeries such as cataracts and administered injections for wet macular degeneration that were not medically necessary and cost the taxpayer-funded Medicare program potentially millions of dollars. But prosecutors did acknowledge that they were not willing to pursue civil patient-referral violations by Murray while he worked at Bascom and made more than $1 million a year among the highest paid employees at the university. An attorney for Murray, who left Bascom under pressure four years ago, said Rosenfelds suit represented a long-standing personal vendetta against a surgeon with a 25-year track record of groundbreaking patient care in which he has saved lives and the eyes of thousands of patients. The allegations in the lawsuit go back many years, were carefully reviewed by the University of Miami and found to be unsupported, said defense attorney Jeff Marcus, a former federal prosecutor. UMs attorney, Dan Gelber, said the university and Bascom have fully cooperated with the inquiry by the U.S. attorneys office but declined to comment about the newly unsealed case. Rosenfelds attorney, Stumphauzer, also declined to comment further about the allegations. Rosenfeld not only complained about Murrays medical practice while they both worked at Bascom, he also brought evidence of alleged Medicare fraud to the U.S. attorneys office and federal investigators after the surgeons departure including an analysis of dozens of his rivals patient records. Those files were seized by agents with the FBI and and the Department of Health and Human Services in 2013. While the civil case has finally been made public by U.S.
