Assisted living facilities are not alike and have their own distinct personality. They range from large complexes in the suburbs to high-rise apartment buildings in the city, and even small cottages surrounded by nature. The majority of assisted living centers are licensed and provides care for at least 20 people while many larger communities can serve up to 100residents.

Different communities havedifferentpolicies for pets but all of them supports afurrypet to look after their seniormembers.Consider doing a proper research beforechoosingany pet and inform the assisted livingfacilityif your loved one happens to be allergicto
Assisted Living is costly for some citizens and so 41 states provide home and community-based waivers that enable low-income residents to enjoy their stay at these communities.Also,
long-term care insurance can help seniors for financing their long-term care needs. Veterans and their spouses can enjoy VA benefits which will diminish the cost of senior care. Medicaid facilities are available for seniors with low income and fewassets.
Assisted living and nursing homes arenotthe same. While home-based assistedlivingmembersare independent, nursing home residentsrequire24- hour assistance. Also, assisted livingoffersone bedroom apartments comparedtonursing homes with single private rooms. Lastbutnot the least, assisted living members aremobileand don't require continuousmedicalattention whereas nursing home patients arebed-ridden
and require skillednursing.
Assisted living offers diverse options for their residents by fulfilling their cultural, religious, dietary, and language needs. There will be an ever increasing need for niche senior living communities due to the large diversity of America.
Modern private assisted livingcommunitiesoffer memory care programs for their membersto improve the quality of life of eachresident.
Senior citizens suffering fromAlzheimer'sor dementia will have the option to livewiththe general population of the community.Ifthe condition becomes bad they will be shiftedto

Oh, I don't know....the holidays bring out the poet in me. The hustle and bustle of Yuletide shopping, the hushed reverence of the season, the wonder in a child's eye as he takes in a riotous display of multi-colored Christmas lights, the consulting of the entrails of an owl as "people of nature" attempt to divine the omens of the coming year... Oh, it's all so thrilling.
It's in that spirit that I trot out a favorite carol of mine. Inspired by "The 12 Days of Christmas" I chose not to write the entire excruciatingly long song (I mean, how repetitively boring IS the whole thing? It's like a holiday version of "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.")
So, without further adieu...
On the 12th Day of the Winter Solstice, a Druid gave to me....
12 Anglo-Saxons
11 Romans roaming
10 Crows a-cawing
9 Vikings raiding
8 Pagan wizards
7 Wooden idols
6 Lunar Elf gods

4 Celtic runes
3 Chicken bones
2 Solar flares
And a goat's head in a fir tree

does anyone know about examples of this?
I think I recall Tim Chruches talking about this in regards to something on his O+C firmware, a May-Verhulst logistic map based sequencer. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're asking for though, I'm not familiar enough with the field.
Im not sure what im asking for myself. I was just curious if anyone knew about some ways to apply it to music, as i was very interested in it some years ago
I tried to do my PhD in this kind of direction. I got to the end without ever getting to the music part, but I got as far as applying game theory to turn taking (a kind of rhythm I guess). Game theory applies to groups of agents, so it's probably best applied with groups of simulated agents that are interacting in some kind of improvisation.
My thinking lead in the direction of simulated robot drummers learning to produce music together. You have figure out how to get them to learn something musical. I invented a metric for turn taking, studied how agents learned to do turn taking and then described how to design agents' reward functions such that they would learn to produce arbitrary, predetermined sequential joint actions. The next step would be to build that idea out to apply to music making robots.
I think the interacting agents paradigm is probably worth a digital eurorack module or two. In another chapter of my life, maybe.
I guess part of the problem is that music is generally a cooperative exercise with lots of coordination and a lot of the fun of game theory is for competitive games and games played without coordination. So maybe something like rap battles would be a good place to start?
I'm sure I could write a lot more here if I thought about it some, and dug through my list of paper references.
PhD thesis available at http://peter.raffensperger.org/Peter_Raffensperger__Measuring_and_Influencing_Sequential_Joint_Agent_Behaviours_(one_sided).pdf
Forgive my naïveté, but why doesn't game theory include cooperative strategies? If it doesn't, then I'd venture to suggest that perhaps it is not a comprehensive theory.
Sorry I didn't mean to imply that game theory doesn't include cooperation; it does. I was brashly opining that cooperative game theory was less interesting, which isn't really true, but if all the agents are trying to cooperate and they can communicate freely and cheaply, then their interactions can look more like that of a single agent.
Consider the example of all the neurons in my brain being modeled as individual agents. They all live or die together and they communicate easily, so "Peter" can be accurately modeled as one agent. Similarly if we improvise together and we've practiced together lots, then we can make good music together and we can be accurately modeled as a single agent, a band.
John Zorn has done quite a few of these. Cobra, Xu Feng etc.
I think that skips a few steps though. It takes time learn how to cooperate. So you move from dissociated atoms trying to cooperate, into a molecule that acts as a unit, with a big perceptible gradient in between. It's that gray area in between that I think would be interesting to explore (likely with the help of machine learning techniques).
In my ample free time (heh).
Yes, you're right, there is some space in the middle where the communication and ability to cooperate is not complete, so game theory can be productively applied. (Actually that's most of what I did my research on.) I was trying to draw a contrast to the competive case, where, if the agents don't share the same goal then we can apply game theory the whole time.
I speculate that part of what the gray area of "imperfect" collaboration looks like is illuminated by the question of what an agent should do when it has poor estimates of its state-action values and a poor estimate of what the other agent will do. How does the agent explore its world while also deriving value from known benefits? How does an agent learn about the other agents? What does "value" even mean in a musical context? Game theory works great in theoretical economics because value can be quantified as money (for better or worse). But in music, what is valuable? We need to quantify our aesthetics somehow. Deep neural networks for music appreciation, I guess? Now I'm really rambling, so I'd better stop.
just ordered xenakis' formalized music. thanks!
I think this is possible. If I wasn't at work thinking hard about databases, I'd try to elaborate (in my typically naïve way. For a guy that dropped out of college as a freshman, I do seem unusually attracted to computer science. I just hope the more learned folks will keep me honest in my own rambling!)
Yeah, @abalone is rightly pointing out aesthetic concerns that can't be quantified. But I maintain there are quantifiable attributes that contribute to the more ephemeral qualities.
yes, how do parts become a whole?in music, rhythm section ...where the bass is the bass drum /the drum kit, congas, piano contribute to the whole tune
trying to make this relate to the topic ... but really just want to post this video of marvin gaye singing his heart out while lounging on a couch in rehearsal (remembered this out of the blue yesterday)
practice makes the parts become a whole? (aware i'm not adding anything)
If your interest includes zero player games, using cellular automatons to sequence or influence your composition in some way is pretty straight forward in most environments I think.
I've sequenced my modular that way using 2 automatons running in an axoloti (with the ca_seq object) and clocking them in with a rotating clock divider.
Not as exciting as what @praffensperger mentions but still technically game theory applied in music I believe, and you can get some pleasing results.

I got a free sample of an orzo pasta a while back that was pretty tasty. It got me thinking that I really needed to add an orzo dish to my collection. It is such a fun little pasta with its rice-like shape and texture. I was craving mushrooms so I turned my recipe for mushroom risotto, into a delicious cheesy mushroom orzo dish. It was beautiful and creamy and my family loved it. It's fairly straightforward to make and could be eaten as either a main course or a side dish.
1 TB. olive oil
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 cup orzo pasta
2 1/2 to 3 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 TB. butter
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in mushrooms and onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and onions from the pan and set aside.
2. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add in the orzo and toast until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in salt. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to low, cooking until orzo is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Stir in butter and parmesan and butter until melted. Add in mushrooms and onions and serve hot. Add more salt to taste.

Reinstall Windows 7 from Safe Mode - NO HARDWARE IS BAD
My computer failed trying to do updates. It then says "Update Failed, Reverting Changes. Do Not Turn Off Computer". And there it hangs forever.
I have tried EVERYTHING. And nothing works. I can, however, get to Safe Mode.
From Safe Mode, I ran Chkdsk (ran to completion in 3 hours, no disk problems), Tried all the utilities, nothing has worked.
I did check Device Manager, and no devices report errors.
The only hint I got was from the Recovery Console, when I ran Fix Computer, it failed on "If you have a device plugged in such as a music player or ..., take it out and restart". I had originally had a bluetooth adapter plugged in, so I removed it the very first time I tried to fix this 4 days ago. Over 20 reboots later, it's still saying that. But there is NO hardware plugged into the computer. I even went to Safe Mode, plugged it in, then when it showed the BlueTooth radio in the Device Manager (which only shows when I plug one in), I deleted it from device manager, and took the adapter back out. Still no go.
All this is to say (1) there is nothing plugged in, and (2) device manager is not showing any devices with errors, I looked at them all.
So I can't get to normal Boot, and I can't reinstall Windows 7 from Safe Mode without doing a complete wipe.
Is there a way to reload just the OS for Windows 7 in Safe Mode by doing an update rather than a total wipe? I saw the tutorial but it talks about removing hardware, and I don't have any offending hardware or devices.

Welcome to Seven Forums.
I would suggest booting into safe mode, opening msconfig and try a clean boot. If it boots then you can either do a repair install or try enabling services and startups one to a few at a time to find the offending issue.

Yeah, i did that. It didn't work either. I also tried "Last Known Good Configuration". Didn't work.

Do you have installation media/repair cd?
You could try a couple of things, like from cmd prompt
cd /d <drive letter of Windows installation>:
(press enter)
DISM /image:<drive letter of Windows installation>:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions.

I ran DISM as shown from the D: drive image (i dont understand that, since its on C: drkve when I boot normally but in recovery mode its D. DISM ran to a good end successfully. But when I rebooted it still stuck trying to revert changes like it has all along.

I have a ZT Club 12 for sale. It's presently advertised on Reverb.com. It's the only ZT Club 12 on the site right now. These are incredible little combo amps. It's 200 watts and JBL E-120 creates alotta head room. I can't say it's a "bedroom" amp because it can get really loud. It was my backup rig when I used to gig. It saved my butt one night when my MC2300 crapped out. These amps are extremely difficult to find since ZT stopped production of the Club 12. It lists at 22 lbs, but the JBL brings that up to about 35 lbs.
I'm asking $325 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.

The National Campaign Disappointed by House Passage of Bill that Will Result in Millions of Women Losing Health Insurance and Contraceptive Coverage: We strongly urge the Senate to vote against the bill
May 04 2017
(Washington, DC)—The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy is disappointed that the U.S. House of Representatives voted 217 to 213 today to pass the American Health Care Act or AHCA (H.R. 1628), which effectively repeals many existing provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA has resulted in millions of women gaining health insurance coverage that has enable them to obtain the full range of contraceptive methods without co-pays or deductibles. Earlier estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicted that 24 million people would lose health insurance by 2026 because of this bill—including millions of women.
The bill would also block Medicaid reimbursements from going to a key safety-net provider of birth control. The National Campaign's research shows Planned Parenthood is the only publicly funded clinic offering the full range of birth control methods in an estimated 105 counties across the U.S. If women covered by Medicaid—especially in those counties—cannot go to a provider offering the full range of contraceptive methods, then their ability to get birth control could be compromised.
"Today's vote could significantly and negatively impact women's access to the full range of birth control methods," said Ginny Ehrlich, CEO, The National Campaign. "This disappointing bill will result in millions of women losing their health insurance and, with it, their coverage and access to birth control which almost everyone believes is a basic part of women's health care."
Research from The National Campaign shows that despite the coverage gains of the ACA, more than 19 million American women already live in contraceptive deserts—defined by their lack of reasonable access to public health care sites offering the full range of contraceptive methods. Furthermore, an overwhelming majority—81% of Americans (including 70% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats)—agree that birth control is a basic part of women's health care.
"We strongly urge the U.S. Senate to oppose this bill," Ehrlich stated. "The AHCA will only exacerbate the current gaps in contraceptive access for millions of low-income women and deny millions more their contraceptive coverage. Women need contraceptive coverage and access in order to decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant. Without that, we will lose the benefits of reduced unplanned pregnancy rates, such as improved health outcomes, less taxpayer spending, and fewer abortions. These are positive results that we should all work toward."
About The National Campaign: The National Campaign is a private, non-partisan, non-profit organization that seeks to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families by preventing teen and unplanned pregnancy.

Archdiocese of Southwark granted Indult for Blessed Oscar Romero
2017 is the centenary year of the birth of Blessed Oscar Romero, born 15th August 1917.
Following a petition from the Archbishop of Southwark, the Most Rev Peter Smith, to have Blessed Oscar Romero added to the liturgical Calendar of the Diocese, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, by virtue of the faculties granted to it by Pope Francis, has granted that a 'liturgical commemoration' may be celebrated annually in St George's Cathedral, Southwark, on the 24th March, the anniversary of his martyrdom.
Although the Archdiocese did not meet the criteria for having Blessed Oscar Romero added to the diocesan calendar, it was recognised that 'the Cathedral is home to a national shrine... and contains a number of his relics...' and so the request was granted for the Cathedral.
Archbishop Peter was very pleased to have received this permission, as was The Archbishop Romero Trust which encouraged and supported the application, believed to be the only such granted outside Central America. His Grace said: "I am delighted that the Holy See has approved this request, and hope that the example and prayers of Blessed Romero will prove a blessing to the diocese and to all who visit the Cathedral."
On 3rd February 2015 Archbishop Romero's was formally declared a martyr, and beatified in San Salvador, El Salvador, on 23rd May 2015.
A four metre three dimensional painted Salvadoran Cross, by Fernando Llort, known as the 'Romero Cross', and a memorial were installed in the Cathedral, and on the 19th September 2013 blessed during an ecumenical service. The cross contains a fragment of Archbishop Romero's blood-stained alb and his zucchetto.
Bishop Patrick Lynch, auxiliary bishop in Southwark and titular bishop of Castro, at Archbishop Peter's request, will celebrate the 12.30pm Mass in St George's Cathedral on Friday 24th March 2017 in honour of the memory of Blessed Oscar Romero, the 37th anniversary of his assassination. Bishop Lynch will be vested in a red chasuble originally made for the beatification ceremony and presented to the Cathedral by the Diocese of San Salvador; he will also use the new collect prayer for Blessed Oscar Romero. The intention at the Mass will be to pray for the repose of the soul of Bishop Michael Evans, former bishop of East Anglia and for nearly 28 years priest of the diocese of Southwark, who had a great admiration and devotion for Oscar Romero, and was a founding trustee of the Archbishop Romero Trust.

— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) October 29, 2015
Halloween is this Saturday and you're sure to see plenty of great costumes.
If you're into golf though, it's not likely you'll see a costume or costumes that top this.
B.J. Simpson (@bugafan on Twitter) posted this picture of a young Jordan Spieth and a young Michael Greller decked out in the proper attire right on down to the Under Armour logos and USGA bib.
Check it out (h/t Golf.com):

Now those are major championship-worthy costumes.
The PGA Tour pays a visit to Asia this week for the CIMB Classic at Kuala Lumpur G&CC in Malaysia, where Ryan Moore returns as the two-time defending champion.
It may be just the third event of the 2015-16 season -- and it's far, far away -- but as you'll see when you read on, there are still some big names who made the trip.
RELATED: CIMB Classic tee times | This week's pro golf events | Rules changes
Here are the five players -- with an added dark horse -- you'll want to keep a close eye on.
5. Sergio Garcia
Best finish in 2015-16 season: Debut
Reason to watch: Would you believe me if I told you Garcia hasn't won on the PGA Tour since 2012? I can't really believe it, but it's a fact. Sure, he's had a couple of close calls since, but no hardware to show for the effort. Garcia returns to Malaysia after a T2 a year ago and a T11 in 2014. Will he improve on that this week?
4. Gary Woodland
Best finish in 2015-16 season: Debut
Reason to watch: In each of the last two years, Woodland has finished second at the CIMB Classic. Clearly the Kuala Lumpur G&CC fits the eye of this bomber. Injuries have plagued Woodland early on in what figures to be a promising career on the PGA Tour. He has all the makings of a star. Is this the season he busts out in a big way? The CIMB Classic would be a great start.
3. Ryan Moore
Best finish in 2015-16 season: T10 Frys.com Open
Reason to watch: Moore's career record in the CIMB Classic is decent: two starts, two wins. That's right. Moore returns as the two-time defending champion with a chance to notch PGA Tour career win No. 5. Coming off a disappointing T43 last week in Las Vegas, I expect Moore to bounce back in a big way this week. It would be crazy to think he wouldn't be able to do that given his recent history in Malaysia.
2. Patrick Reed
Best finish in 2015-16 season: Debut
Reason to watch: Having won at least once in each of the last three seasons, I'm anticipating that Reed will keep that trend going in the 2015-16 season. Does that start this week in Malaysia? Well, he hasn't done anything particularly special in two previous CIMB Classic starts -- a T40 and a T26. I don't think that matters for a player like Reed. He can get hot any place and any time.
1. Henrik Stenson
Best finish in 2015-16 season: Debut
Reason to watch: This will be Stenson's first start to the new PGA Tour season, but he ended the last one on fire with five top-10 finishes in his last six starts, including two runner-up finishes in back-to-back week at the Barclays and Deutsche Bank Championship, as well as a T2 at the Tour Championship. Though he hasn't played in the CIMB Classic before, Stenson still gets the nod this week -- his game travels well (he's won all over the world) and he's the top-ranked player in the field at No. 7 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
DARK HORSE: Anirban Lahiri
Reason to watch: This is Lahiri's first start as a member of the PGA Tour after securing his card at the Web.com Tour Finals. He's also a member of the Asian Tour, which co-sanctions this event. He won the Malaysian Open on this course in February. With a strong showing he can lock up the Asian Tour's Order of Merit title. Pretty cool for Lahiri. With his dual-membership he has a chance to finish one season on a high-note, while starting a new one on a high-not -- all in one tournament.
Here's how my five to watch fared last week at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open:
5. Ryan Moore -- T43
4. Kevin Na -- T2
3. Brooks Koepka -- Missed cut
2. Jimmy Walker -- T78
1. Rickie Fowler -- T25

Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Windward Community College special education information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Windward Community College.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time.

Lately, Astro has been playing the Lord of the Rings trilogy for days on HBO.
Me being a huge fan of LOTR, I gladly watch them repeatedly.
It just became very nostalgic, I started to remember again those moments when I was so much in love with the movies that I will count the days till the next movie to hit the cinema, I will buy any magazines that have LOTR pictures in it, I will collect the posters, make sure I always keep up to date with anything new for the next installment.
When the first LOTR came out, which was the Fellowship of the Ring, I was 12...and now I am 24. Can you imagine that? 12 years later and I am still very much in love with these movies and the trilogy is still my favourite movie of all time.
Now, Peter Jackson gives me something to look forward throughout the year. With the prequel, The Hobbit. I gotta admit, the reason I am in love with The Hobbit is mainly because of how it reminds me of LOTR trilogy and I just love that nostalgic feeling so much.
Of course, in comparison with LOTR...The Hobbit doesn't come close in terms of giving me that impact after watching it, even though The Hobbit has better graphic...obviously since it uses all the modern technology.
No movie has ever manage to make me feel the way I did after I watch the first installment of LOTR and no movie has ever manage to make me feel the way I did after I watch the last installment of LOTR.
To have such interest in something...is just amazing because it makes you passionate about something.
I am now counting the days for the second installment for The Hobbit. Which will be called The Desolation of Smaug.
What I want to see is the appearance of Legolas with his father King Thranduil.
You have no idea how I wish to see that on screen and it is finally coming true.
Amazing feeling indeed. I manage to find a picture of Orlando Bloom (Legolas) and Lee Pace (King Thranduil) on set while filming and it just got me jumping with joy ^_^
|*photo taken from Google Image
The only flaw for me will be...Legolas doesn't look younger than he was in LOTR even though this suppose to be "before" the journey of LOTR =.="
Well, what do you expect, it has been more than 10 years since LOTR...you can't expect all the original cast from LOTR to age like Bejamin Button, right? Hahaha
Nevertheless...now I can't wait for the trailer of the 2nd installment to come out!!

At PAX Prime last year, the public was shown the very first trailer of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, the next chapter in the Big Boss timeline. In a recent interview with franchise creator Hideo Kojima, it appears that Ground Zeroes might not release in its current state.
Kojima-san mentioned in an interview with VG24/7 that Ground Zeroes will be his most mature game yet, and he's worried that it might be too much for everyone to handle. He says, "I'm going to be treading a lot of taboos, and a lot of mature themes that really are quite risky." As many know, Kojima-san has been teasing us with a taboo project for a while - it appears that Ground Zeroes will be it. He continues:
"Honestly, I'm not even sure if I'll be able to release the game. Even if I did release the game, maybe it wouldn't sell because it's all too much. But as a creator I want to take that risk. As a producer it's my job to try and sell the game, but I'm approaching this project from the point of view as a creator. I'm prioritizing creativity over sales."
A multitude of topics that come to mind that could be considered extremely taboo, but some gamers are sick of being treated like children by the game industry. Do you think Kojima-san will keep the mature content in there, or will Konami step in for the benefit of more sales? Let us know in the comment section below!

So when it comes to buying their first Big Rapids home, it's very common for newcomers to put off confronting the whole daunting issue. When you're still new to your career, tackling a purchase involving years' worth of income channeled through a maze of unfamiliar procedures is easy to put off. But when the delay stretches well past the point in their financial lives when it would be clearly advantageous to own rather than to continue renting, it's the same thing as throwing hard-earned cash overboard.
They really ought to teach this stuff in school! That having been said, here is a broad-brush, very basic rundown of the lay of the land aimed at first time area home buyers:
Since the asking price for even the most modest Big Rapids home is a number with multiple zeros on the end, you might assume that common sense indicates it's out of reach. All the more so if early mistakes handling credit cards or student loan troubles have damaged your credit score. The good news is that potential home buyers with less than outstanding credit can still buy that first home — given some careful financial planning and research on your part.
- The most important factor banks use to determine your mortgage eligibility is your FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation) credit score. The numbers range from 300 to 850, are based on a number of factors including how much debt you have and your payment history. In general, borrowers will need a credit score of at least 650 to qualify for a conventional home mortgage loan.
- BUT, it's not the only factor. Although your credit score tops the list of elements that determine your eligibility for a mortgage, banks will also consider the amount of money you can commit to a down payment. Saving up may delay your first home purchase, and definitely takes discipline… but today, the amount you need is changing. Different lending institutions have different rules for determining eligibility, and some offer-
- Non-conventional loans. Today, first-time home buyers with relatively low credit scores can often secure such loans. You should research Big Rapids banks to find those currently offering non-conventional loans to borrowers with qualifying credit histories. You should also consider a Federal Housing Authority (FHA) loan, which eases credit requirements. For example, you might qualify for an FHA loan with a credit score as low as 580 with a down payment of just 3.5%!
- You can also use money from an IRA for your down payment. In other circumstances, withdrawing money from your IRA before age 59 ½ means paying a 10% penalty, but that rule doesn't apply when you use your IRA to purchase a first home!

Karnataka Assembly polls 2013: Arun Jaitley all praise for state BJP
Arun Jaitley backed Karnataka BJP and praised it for completing the five year term inspite of challenges that they faced.
Zee Media Bureau
Bangalore: The party may be on the back foot in Karnataka due to allegations of corruption and non-governance, but nonetheless Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Arun Jaitley backed the state BJP and praised it for completing the five year term inspite of challenges that they faced.
Arun Jaitley told the BJP cadre in the state while unveiling the party's manifesto recently, "The BJP succeeded in installing its first government in the south five years ago. We have governed and completed (our) full term taking up challenges for the people."
"Whenever the party faced challenges, it stood by values rather than individuals. Politically, we have emerged cleaner, stronger and more cohesive," he added.
The Bhartiya Janata Party has promised 25kg rice at one rupee a kg to the poor and free laptops to class 12 and college students if voted to power again.
Lessons on "cultural nationalism" and moral values, introduction of Yoga as part of syllabus in schools and colleges, priority for Kannada medium students in higher education and employment, free Wi-Fi and Internet for all schools and colleges are other promises made in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) manifesto for the poll.
Releasing the manifesto here on April 19, senior party leader Arun Jaitley contended that the one rupee a kg rice and free laptops offers were not populist schemes. The cheap rice scheme would ensure right to food to the poor while students would make good use of IT equipment in a state known as India`s tech hub.

Carmel man allegedly punches, clubs victim
Troy — Police said a Carmel man struck a woman with his fist and a club Jan. 7 during an argument.
Corey Gerry, 31, was arrested and charged with domestic violence assault, Class D, after Waldo County Sheriff's Deputy Cassandra McDonald responded to a Ward Hill Road residence in Troy for a reported domestic disturbance.
The victim of the assault told police she arrived at the residence and was met by Gerry. A verbal argument ensued and escalated when Gerry allegedly punched the victim in the face and struck her with a small club, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
Police said the victim was able to leave the residence and contact law enforcement. Her injuries did not require medical attention.
Gerry is being held on $300 cash bail until he is arraigned.

Hi Arch,
It explains how to install XP after 7 and still be able to boot into both.
That is what you are you doing - albeit you will replace one of your existing 7 partitions with XP.
The principle is the same.
If there is a part you don't follow, feel free to ask .
Hope it helps

I wanted to share something with you today that's a little heavy because I think it is an important topic to discuss and be aware of. It also helps me put things into perspective when I think I'm having a bad day. Perspective is so important. But don't worry, you're more likely to find yourself smiling at the young woman I'm about to introduce you to than shedding any tears. With that being said, here's the wretched truth…
My cousin Michelle has cancer. She found out over Christmas while on a family vacation. She is 25 years old and has already had a double mastectomy. The past few months have been traumatic. I mean, most
She started a blog shortly after her diagnosis to document her experiences. The blog is called Killer Boobies. The title alone gives you some idea of her wicked sense of humor. Believe me when I say Michelle is a brilliant writer. Her blog is better than the books I'm reading right now. Her attitude belies the seriousness of her situation. Besides humor and honesty, she offers a poignant look at mortality. I wanted to share some of her story here and lead you to her blog, not just because this diagnosis has affected someone I love dearly, but because I think she is an inspiration; the kind of person who offers wisdom and insight you'll think about on your drive to work even though you've never met her.
Now I'll let her do the talking herself. The following are excerpts from her blog that give you some idea of the amazing character my cousin, Michelle, has.
|As you can see, this koala did a breast exam on me and didn't find anything. I'm firing him as my doctor.
My name is Michelle.
I'm 25 years old, and I have breast cancer. At first I was in denial. Then I was scared. Then I remembered that I'm only 25, and decided to treat this whole cancer thing with the same humor and youthful irreverence with which I treat everything else in my life.
I think the idea of nipple tattoos is kind of cool, I've always kind of wanted to shave my head and I am blessed to have an amazing family, wonderful friends and the world's greatest boyfriend here to help me through this.
I wasn't one of them.
For me, the Mayans were right: December 21 was the end of my world. That day, what I thought was a routine gynecological appointment to drain a lingering breast cyst became something more when I was shuttled into a dark ultrasound room, probed and prodded for over an hour, forced to undergo an immensely painful and invasive biopsy, then confronted by a kind yet frank radiologist who said, "Unfortunately, it does look like a cancerous growth."
On December 26, 2012, she called to tell me what I already knew: the biopsy results were back, and the lump in my breast was cancerous.
"Breast cancer?" I said incredulously, looking down at my 30As. "Me? But I don't even have breasts!"
The Diagnosis
I found the lump myself, a few weeks before my 25th birthday. I went to the gynecologist, who told me it was a cyst and not to worry, but to come back if it didn't disappear in a few months. Four months on, it was still hanging out. That's when I got the ultrasound, the biopsy, and the news that changed my life forever.
Here's what we know so far:
- Invasive ductal carcinoma with lobular features
- 1.4cm tumor at 11 o'clock on the left breast
- HER2/neu+++
- Grade 2
- 0/1 nodes
- Double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction on 1/11/13
- BRCA 1 & 2 negative
- 6 cycles of "TCH" chemotherapy
- One year of intravenous monoclonal antibody treatment (Herceptin)
- Five years of hormone therapy (Tamoxifen)
I think all of Michelle's posts are moving and extremely well written, but here are some that cover aspects of a cancer diagnosis that everyone should know:
A) Its historical relationship with deadly military gasses
B) Having to wait to find out which side effects you're going to get
C) Needing to take steroids, and then needing to eat EVERYTHING IN SIGHT (MORE CUPCAKEEESSSSS)
D) All of the above
2. What's the best part of chemotherapy?
A) Snacks!
B) Law & Order: SVU marathons
C) Not changing out of my jammies all day long
D) All of the above
Hint: The answer is DD, because this blog is about boobies.
The Most Exciting Regular Day Ever (What people fighting cancer and disease really want)
I had an incredibly normal, basic, simple day today, and there's really no way to convey how excited and happy that makes me.
Here is a list of normal things I did today for the first time since surgery:
1. Put on makeup. I looked in the mirror, which recently has been a little traumatic, and actually spent some time applying mascara, blush and lipstick. It's amazing how something so simple can really boost your mood and make you feel pretty.
2. Put together an outfit that didn't look like a cross between something Hugh Hefner would wear on a bad day at the mansion and costume pajamas that would make an awesome and comfy Halloween outfit. No sweats and slippers for me today! I'm wearing leggings with chunky socks and boots, a flannel button-up and a cozy faux shear sweater. I look like a normal 25-year-old instead of someone's senile grandma robbing a Victoria's Secret Pink store.
3. Slept in my own bed, on my side. Yes, you guys, I left my dear chaise lounge and went back to my own bedroom last night. I didn't stay up 'til 2am watching late night talk shows. I didn't have to sleep on my back and wake up three times in the night to take pain meds and empty my drains. I slept through the night and woke up without a sore back (or, at least, with a less sore back) for the first time in two weeks.
4. Went to lunch!
My beautiful, funny, sweet aunt came up from Laguna Beach to visit today. I was nervous about this because I haven't had any visitors since my surgery, since I was too busy watching TV, eating chocolates and popping pain pills to talk to anybody – but I'm so glad she did. We went out to lunch at a cute cafe where I was a barista in high school. I felt like I was a super-secret spy because no one suspected I was a direly ill cancer patient, and everyone just served me my BLT wrap and jasmine tea assuming I was a normal, healthy 20-something. I should probably enjoy that, because once I go bald, it's going to be real obvious that something is wrong with me.
My aunt also brought me an amazing outfit that I can't wait to wear, now that I'm back to actually dressing myself, as well as some pastries, a fun puzzle and a book of prayer. I truly feel like I'm having Cancer Christmas. New amazing things arrive in the mail each day! In fact, over lunch, we were discussing the variety of reactions that people have had to my news and the different ways they've reached out to me, and it forced me to reflect on what truly helps at a time like this. Gifts are sweet and wonderful, but what I love more are the letters that come with them. What really means the most to me is when people I love call, text, email and write to let me know that they love me, too. The best thing to hear right now is how much my friends value our friendships. In some ways – and I know this will sound bizarre, since it sounds bizarre even to me – this diagnosis has been a blessing. I'm like Tom Sawyer, getting a chance to listen to my own eulogy – hopefully, like Tom, without actually dying. I know that getting to the other side of this experience will give me a life of purpose and love I never could have imagined without it.
Bills, Bills, Bills,
When I passed out in the MRI prep room a thousand years ago (read: last month), an ambulance had to come and pick me up to drive me literally across a parking lot to the trauma bay of the main hospital. I just got the bill for that. It was $1,360.
My ambulance ride cost me roughly $700 per minute. Good God, at least they could have taken me in a limo! I should have been poppin' Cristal in a hot tub in the back of the thing for that price
Alright, you knew it was coming: I have to talk about my hair.
Objectively, the hair thing just seems so…trivial. I mean, if a genie came up to you and said, "[Your name,] I'm going to let you live a long, healthy life – provided that you go six months completely and utterly hairless. If you refuse, there's a 30% chance you'll die." You'd obviously take the half a year of baldness, right? I mean, I totally would. Wouldn't I?
Also, what kind of jerk genie would ask that?
But subjectively, when B-Day (that's Baldness Day) starts to sneak up on you, it becomes this big, distracting deal. I was tired of dealing with the stress of that when I really needed to be focusing on the fact that while yes, chemotherapy will make me look temporarily like an alien, it'll also be saving my life. So I made a decision that I was going to take charge of the hair situation.
The doctor came in while I was in recovery to let me know that they had gotten 15 healthy eggs, which means that even if I wind up totally infertile at the end of this whole ordeal, I can still get all Duggar family up in this biatch ("this biatch" being my womb) if I so choose.
Enjoy your weekend! And don't forget: check yourself! and tell the people you love how much they mean to you!

DeMar DeRozan leads the team in scoring at 27.3 while Jonas Valanciunas has taken care of the rebounding at 9.5 and Kyle Lowry got most assist per game at 7.
Serge Ibaka battled through a left ankle sprain in Game 2, which he suffered during the third quarter of Game 1 after stepping on Antetokounmpo's foot. In this series, they're going to need to keep moving the ball and punishing the Bucks for leaving shooters open.
Thon Maker has emerged as a linchpin of the Milwaukee Bucks' defense as they attempt to upset the No. 6-seeded Toronto Raptors in the first round of the East playoffs. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a statement performance as he finished with 28 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block, which resulted in a technical that was rightfully rescinded after further review from the league office.
The Raptors have won straight up, but couldn't cover the spread in neither of the home games. Their physicality sent a message that they weren't satisfied with just making the postseason.
Although the Raptors were the better team on Tuesday, there's a sense that they were fortunate to come away with the win, and the reality is the game could have certainly gone the other way. His counterpart, Bucks rookie Malcolm Brogden, looked much more like the veteran player of the two.
If Toronto wants to win this series, pulling out game two was basically a prerequisite. The story of this series, at least when Toronto has had the ball, has been Milwaukee's aggressive trapping. "There are a couple of things we can do better at to make sure we do get bodies back and fly out and get to especially Tony Snell".
Game 2 saw a bounce back effort from all-star guard Kyle Lowry. The Raptors bench of Patrick Patterson, P.J. Tucker and Corey Joseph played a combined 72 minutes while accounting for just 13 points on 4-15 shooting.
None of this is to say that Toronto has figured Milwaukee out. "We must have maximum energy on both ends of the floor, precise execution, and really go out and get this game".
After taking the first punch, the Raptors responded in the best way they could with a 106-100 win on Tuesday night. It's only one game at a time. He has to be accounted for, but that does not mean they can go back to not showing Antetokounmpo a bevy of bodies. The effort was there and the Bucks made Toronto earn this one to the last whistle. First, the lack of Michael Beasley, who played just six minutes in game one while receiving a "DNP-Coach's Decision" in game two. The game is not going to be pretty. "I thought we did a much better job putting on-time, on-target passes".
The Bucks haven't been relevant since the days of Big Dog, Ray Allen, Sam Cassell and George Karl, but they are relevant now with plenty to look forward to, regardless of what happens in their series against the Raptors with the scene now shifting to Milwaukee for Games 3 and 4.

Northern Territory Road Trip
Alice Springs Travel Blog› entry 3 of 7 › view all entries
On Monday 18th Feb we said goodbye to Perth and carried on our merry way to Alice Springs. The flight took about 2 hours and it was a clear day so looking out the window you would have been able to see everything down below except there wasn't anything to see apart from red desert! Alice Spings is weirdly half an hour ahead of Perth so at the moment we are +9 1/2 hrs ahead of the UK. The main words you can describe Alice Springs by are hot, hot and very hot!!
The Hostel we stayed in was called Alice's Secret and our room was nice and big and we even had our own sink! On the downside though there was a cockroach in our bed - you can't have everything! We spent 2 nights here and our first day was spent wondering around Alice Springs in the heat trying to find the most economical way of getting up to Darwin.
We set off to Uluru the next day in our new Campervan. This campervan, although we loved Fluff, was much better. It had air con which we wouldn't have been able to sleep without - being so hot and all, a toaster, kettle. We even bought a couple of microwave meals (for those days when we didn't have steaks for tea!) to cook in our 'microwave' which in fact turned out to be the air con unit. Oooppps!
Seeing Uluru was absolutely amazing (but bloody hot!).
Later that day we drove back to Alice springs and stayed in a caravan park there before heading up North towards Darwin. On the way we stopped at the Devils Marbles.
The next day, on our way up to a town called Katherine the worst thing happened.
After stopping to buy a new tire, we got to our next campsite in a town called kathrine. This town is nearer to the top end and so it was much more green and lush.
We went to visit Katherine Gorge the next day and went on a little boat trip along the river that goes through the gorge. It was pouring down but it was so worth it! halfway along, the guide took us on a walk along the riverbank and showed us some Aboriginal painting on the rocks which were thousands of years old. We then stopped at Edith Falls where there were croc's in the water! Afterwards we carried on up North to Kakadu national park which is the biggest National Park in Oz.
We had a choice the next morning of seeing a sacred aboriganal rock and paintings or a jumping crocodile boat trip and obviously we chose the latter! It was amazing! The crocs were wild and just lived in the river but they come up to the boat in the hope of it sinking so they could eat all the tourists!! Oh and to get fed bits of meat by the guide! They have the meat on a bit of string which they dangle near the croc and eventually it jumps up out of the water to get the meat.
Last night was our last night in the van so we stayed in a campsite near Darwin as thats where we had to take the van back to. We met another 'interesting' character here who got talking to Adam in the gents and told him to come to his caravan in half an hour as he had something to show him... oh and bring your camera... LOL!!! We were so intrigued we just had to go along and see what it was. He turned out not to be an axe murderer or anything but he had 2 lovely pet cockatoo's to introduce to us! Yay!
Well we have spent today looking around Darwin (and in an internet cafe!).
Bye for now!

IoT Networks Get New Rival
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Silver Spring Networks joined the increasingly crowded race to provide a wide-area wireless network for the Internet of Things. Starfish is a public version of the 900 MHz network the company developed initially for smart utility meters.
Nearly a dozen contenderss are trying to fill a need for long distance networks that cut the cost and power consumption of today's cellular machine-to-machine networks. Silver Spring believes it can offer at relatively low cost significantly better throughput and latency than current leading 900 MHz competitors in the space, Sigfox and the LoRa Alliance.
The latest version of the Silver Spring network is capable of data rates up to 1.2 Mbits/second and 10-50 millisecond latency per hop, typically limited to three hops. It claims point-to-point reach up to 50 miles.
Aapo Markkanen, an analyst following the sector for market watcher Machina Research expressed skepticism about the companys figures of merit for its 900 MHz network. They may be able to achieve those data rates or that latency or that range separately, but in real life the performance of needs to be compromised significantly on all fronts, he said.
At this stage, Silver Spring is not providing enough data on its costs and power consumption to adequately determine its likely impact, he said. The companys attempt to offer a platform-level solution stack as part of the launch sounds comparable to what Helium and Samsara are doing, he added, pointing to two hot competing startups.
Public Starfish networks will initially be deployed in seven cities including San Jose where the company planned to officially announce its plans at city hall. Other cities preparing public Starfish networks include Chicago, San Antonio, Calcutta, Copenhagen, as well as Bristol and Glasgow in the UK.
The company is essentially starting from scratch in public IoT nets with proven technology. Silver Spring has deployed more than 22.3 million nodes using its 802.15.4g (Wi-SUN) radio and mesh network, however those devices are all on private networks, mainly in utilities.
Over the past two years the company has been expanding to use of its networks in smart city deployments for applications such as streetlights. Mike Bell, a former Apple and Intel executive pushed the company to roll out a public IoT network service when he joined as chief executive in late September.
"There was talk of Starfish when I arrived, but I kicked it into high gear," said Bell in an interview with EE Times.
Bell had never heard of Silver Spring when a recruiter contacted him about the job while he was at Intel. "I realized this was the biggest IoT company no one had heard of, the possibilities are pretty big," he said.
It's still early days for Starfish. Bell was not prepared to release pricing for the network, details of its plans for hardware developer's kits or a road map of cities where it plans deployments.
However, the company did announce it plans a free service called Haiku offering 5,000 16-byte messages per month, aimed primarily at customers of Sigfox. "Our service is so much better we can handle that for free where for others this is the best they can offer," said Bell.
Before April, Silver Spring will release two hardware developer's kits. One will serve nodes with a direct power source, the other is based on the company's existing battery-powered node. The company also will offer a so-called IoT router that runs Linux and links its mesh networks to legacy Ethernet or cellular networks and a software developer's kit.
The company plans hackathons early next year in most of its initial target cities to attract developers. Its software is based on an open source RTOS modified by Silver Spring. It supports a variety of protocols including Wi-SUN FAN, Zigbee, cellular, Ethernet, USB and serial as well as 6LoWPAN, UDP and TCP. It supports security standards including PKI and X.509 certificates.
The Starfish network is implemented in firmware on Silver Spring's own SoC and an off-the-shelf 900 MHz radio chip. Bell said he is open to making the mesh technology available on SoCs from other companies.
Silver Spring has developed a 900 MHz network that meets security and reliability needs of utilities, Bell said. The company can seed public IoT users for relatively low capital costs.
The company went public in 2013 and is still struggling to establish a track record of profits. It its last fiscal year it lost $89 million on about $190 million in revenue, and in its most recent quarter it nearly broke even on almost $70 million in revenue.
