The University of Waikato can claim double the kudos from masters student Quan Sun's win at the University of California San Diego student datamining competition.
Sun is not only a student at the university, but he used open source software developed there to claim his win in the elite "hard" category for graduate students.
In fact, says Sun, at least half the competitors in the competition used the software, called Weka, which he describes as the "Microsoft Word of data mining".
See: Computerworld's open source special feature
Sun, a former web developer, won ahead of more than 300 entries from universities in North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia.
The competition was in four sections – with "easy" and "hard" options for both undergraduate and graduate students. All competitors were set the task of predicting anomalies in e-commerce transaction data.
Sun says figuring out the answer took him about a month, working on the data for two to four hours a day and brainstorming ideas with his wife, who's a PhD student in engineering at Waikato.
In 2005, Weka software won the data mining and knowledge discovery service award from the Association for Computing Machinery's special interest group on knowledge discovery and data mining. The software has been downloaded by more than one and a half million users worldwide.
Sun, also did his first degree at Waikato. He says his previous work as a web developer has given him good attention to detail, which is essential for datamining. He's planning to continue on to doctoral study when he completes his masters later this year.
In 2006, Waikato Univerity's commercialisation company, WaikatoLink, inked a deal with open source business intelligence software developer Pentaho, giving that company an exclusive licence to sell Weka's analytical software as part of its business intelligence product. Contrary to some reports out of the US, the core developers remained employed by and based at Waikato University.
Pentaho also took control of Weka's SourceForge software distribution site and bought rights to use the Weka brand under the deal.
"We will be working closely with them to integrate Weka with the Pentaho platform," senior lecturer Mark Hall said at the time, adding that the university had reserved its rights to licence Weka for applications other than business intelligence.
Hall said the deal would enhance development of Weka as Pentaho would take over much of the burden for servicing users and allow the Waikato team to concentrate on development.
Hall now works for Pentaho out of the Waikato, says Sun's supervisor, Dr Eibe Frank. Most of the core development of Weka is still at the university, he says, but some contributions come from outside.
More recent developments include more machine learning algorithms, better documentation and an interface to the R language, a statistical language that began its life at the University of Auckland.
R was developed at Auckland by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman. Ihaka won a Pickering Medal from the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2008 for his work. When free software leader Richard Stallman, the developer the GPL licence, visited New Zealand last year, Ihaka was one of the people he planned a meeting with.
Weka produces a large number of spin-off projects. One of these involves developing algorithms to mine and analyse very large data sets, possibly even infinite data sets, as they stream on a network such as the internet.
Development of Weka began in 1993. It was the university's first government-funded computer science research project, at the time under Professor Ian Witten. The aim was to produce a software workbench that would combine techniques from machine learning (a subfield of artificial intelligence) and data mining into one framework.
At the time, data mining software for research was in all sorts of different languages and formats. After development of the workbench and algorithms, Waikato's research efforts moved to concentrate on applying machine learning to New Zealand data, such as large agricultural data sets.
In 1997 the workbench was redeveloped in Java to run on any hardware platform.

Membertou first reserve in Atlantic Canada to try online referendum
Band looks to boost turnout for referendum on matrimonial property rights law
In what appears to be a first for a reserve in Atlantic Canada, Membertou First Nation is allowing its residents to vote online in an upcoming referendum.
At stake in the referendum is the band's newly developed Family Homes Law. The proposed matrimonial property rights law deals with ownership of the family home in the event a common law or married couple separates or divorces.
First Nations matrimonial property bill met with mixed reactions
3 reasons why First Nations voters are suddenly more engaged
Residents can still vote in person on April 29 and 30. But Mi'kmaq journalist Maureen Googoo, who has written about the referendum, says the band hopes that by offering the online option it will ensure voter turnout is high enough for results to be recognized by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.
The "magic number" is 243, which represents 25 per cent of the eligible voters in Membertou, said Googoo. Anything less, she said, would make the referendum results "null and void."
Why now?
The band is holding the referendum before new federal legislation, the Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act, is implemented by the department in June.
It applies to all First Nations, except those who put in place their own matrimonial real property laws before that date.
The federal legislation does not satisfy all Membertou's concerns, Googoo said.
"They have concerns about the weight that was given to common law relationships versus married couples," she said in an interview with CBC Cape Breton's Mainstreet.
"It also didn't really take into consideration the best interests of the children when it comes to determining which parent occupies the home."
Under Membertou's proposed law, a judge would be compelled to consider what's best for the children.
Googoo said people in the community are stressing the importance of getting out to vote and don't want legislation imposed.
To vote online, residents need their 10-digit band number and a working email address. The band says the process takes between five and 10 minutes.
Googoo also said she's seen interest about the online aspect of the referendum from outside Membertou.
"Obviously, it has generated some chatter," she said.

Pictured Recipe: Roasted Veggie & Quinoa Salad
What's not to love about meal prep? It's budget-friendly, helps you stick to your diet, and saves you loads of time during the week. In this meal-prep meal plan, we walk you through four super-simple base recipes that come together to create delicious Mediterranean-style lunches for the work week. And the best part yet—all of the prep work can be done in under an hour. We already mapped out the prep plan for you (shopping list included!), and came up with some simple recipe ideas to create for the week (scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the ideas).
Make these ahead on Sunday:
Sheet Pan Roasted Root Vegetables
Download the shopping list here! We added a few extra shopping list items, like canned chickpeas and hummus, which we use in the meal ideas at the bottom of the page. Depending on how many people you are meal prepping for, you may need to adjust the recipes to account for more or fewer servings. If you end up making more than you need, use the leftovers for dinner this week.
The Mediterranean diet has long been recognized as one of the healthiest and most delicious ways to eat. It's an uncomplicated and easy-to-follow way of eating—simply include plenty of fruits and vegetables, healthy fats (like olive oil and the healthy fat you get from salmon), whole grains (like quinoa), beans and legumes, lean protein and calcium-rich dairy items.
Work backwards and start with the recipe that takes the longest to prepare. While things are cooking, you can prep the other menu items. Start by preheating the oven to 450 degrees F for the Sheet Pan Roasted Root Vegetables.
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 30 minutes
This simple poached chicken recipe has crazy-good flavor. The secret is using bone-in breasts and adding white wine and herbs to the poaching liquid. Don't eat meat? Skip this step and move onto Step 3. We included vegan and vegetarian lunch ideas at the bottom of the page.
• Shred or chop the chicken while it is still slightly warm. It is harder to pull the meat apart after it's been refrigerated.
• Don't throw out that poaching liquid! Strain the leftover poaching liquid and use it as you would low-sodium chicken broth in any recipe for an extra boost of flavor. Store it in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Super-Fast Meal Prep: Pick up pre-cooked chicken breast or a rotisserie chicken at your grocery deli.
Prep time: 10 Minutes | Cook time: 30-40 minutes
While the chicken is simmering, start to prep your veggies. This simple recipe is the perfect example of the Mediterranean diet. Fresh ingredients, plus olive oil and a little salt and pepper are all you need to make a mouthwatering heap of nutritious, tender and colorful root vegetables. This recipe makes enough for lunch this week, plus leftovers for dinner. Don't need that much veg? This recipe is easy to cut in half.
• When batch cooking vegetables, use ones that have a similar cook time so you don't end up with some veggies that are still raw, while others are cooked to death. Some good combos include...
• Summer Squash + Green Beans + Cherry Tomatoes
• Zucchini + Corn + Bell Peppers
• Beets + Potatoes + Fennel
• Super Fast Meal Prep: Pick up pre-chopped vegetables from the produce section of your grocery store.
Prep time: 5 Minutes | Cook time: 15-20 minutes
While the veggies are roasting, prepare your quinoa. This foolproof recipe for perfectly cooked quinoa is fast and easy! This high-protein, fiber-rich grain will help give your meal more satisfying staying power.
• Quick cooking whole grains like quinoa and whole-wheat couscous are great go-to options for fast meal prep. When cooking grains with a longer cook time, like brown rice or farro, make extra and freeze the leftovers.
• Super-Fast Meal Prep: Buy pre-cooked rice from the grocery store for even faster meal prep.
Prep time: 10 Minutes
While the quinoa is cooking, make your dressing. This fresh herb vinaigrette dressing recipe calls to use whatever herbs you have on hand, so it's versatile and excitingly new each time you make it. If you want to make this recipe vegetarian, skip the chicken broth and use veggie broth or water instead.
• Save yourself from washing a dish by making your vinaigrettes and dressings right in a mason jar. Just add the ingredients and shake to combine.
• Try packing your salads in a mason jar! Watch how to make the perfect mason jar salad.
You can either build all five of your lunches now and place in separate storage containers, or store the four base recipes separately and build your lunches as you need them. For the salad recipes, wait till the night before to add the greens so you don't end up with wilted salad.
1/2 cup quinoa + 3/4 cup chicken + 1 cup roasted veggies + 1-2 Tbsp. vinaigrette
(= 342 calories, 19 g protein, 5 g fiber)
To jazz it up even more: add fresh crumbled feta or goat cheese and sunflower seeds
2 cups mixed greens + 1 cup roasted veggies + 1/2 cup quinoa + 1 Tbsp. crumbled feta + 1 Tbsp. sunflower seeds + 1-2 Tbsp. vinaigrette
(= 355 calories, 10 g protein, 9 g fiber)
To jazz it up even more: serve with a side of toasted pita bread and hummus
1 whole-wheat pita + 4 Tbsp. hummus + 1/2 cup roasted veggies + 1/2 cup mixed greens + 1 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese
(= 357 calories, 14 g protein, 10 g fiber)
Cut the pita in half and spread hummus inside both pita pockets. Roughly chop the veggies and add both the veggies and mixed greens to each pita half
To jazz it up even more: add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick
1/2 cup quinoa + 3/4 cup chicken + 1 cup roasted veggies + 1/4 avocado, sliced + 1 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese + 1 Tbsp. sunflower seeds + 1-2 Tbsp. vinaigrette
(= 499 calories, 23 g protein, 10 g fiber)
Add 1 cup quinoa + 1 cup mixed greens + 1 cup roasted veggies + 1/4 cup chickpeas + 1 Tbsp. crumbled feta
(= 303 calories, 10 g protein, 9 g fiber)
To jazz it up even more: add sunflower seeds or a dollop of garlic-flavored hummus

This isn't the first time I have been surprised and disappointed by how Obama has come on like George C. Scott in "The Flim Flam Man" yet garnered worshipful attention by the public and so-called press. But tonight I realized what is happening.
Obama doesn't talk so much as generate white noise.
White noise (n.) a random signal (or process) with a flat power spectral density. In other words, the signal contains equal power within a fixed bandwidth at any center frequency. White noise draws its name from white light in which the power spectral density of the light is distributed over the visible band in such a way that the eye's three color receptors (cones) are approximately equally stimulated.—Wikipedia
Everyone has experienced white noise. It's the sound a TV makes when tuned to an unused channel, that wooshing-hissing sound that wraps itself around your brain like a warm blanket. White noise machines are sold to millions to help them sleep in noisy environments or to sooth one at work or in the doctor's waiting room.
It came to me this evening that this is how Obama anesthetizes his audience. After the first several sentences of anything he says the tempo and tenor of his speech puts one's brain into a happy fuzziness that overrides what is actually being heard. Try it for yourself. This evening, one "reporter" asked why Obama's Ponzi Stimulus could be expected to help fix the economy. Obama replied, in part:
"... the excesses on Wall Street led to this crisis and then people couldn't make payroll and laid-off people and that led to this crisis even though consumer spending helped for a while but this is unsustainable and foreigners will no longer lend us money and so the immediate job is to stop the downward spiral and this means putting money in peoples' pockets and that, by the way, is important even if you are a fiscal conservative and even if there are no tax revenues because people have lost their jobs this will put an enormous strain on the federal and state governments and so we have to stop the economy from tanking and this notion that I came in here to gin-up a $800B bill means that as soon as possible the mid-term and long-term budget is addressed while people who are worried about their mortgage payments become less fearful and then we can decide how to work more prudently and so if you want to buy a house that you can't afford we have to reform our bad habits..."
At least that's what's on my VCR. I really don't remember what he said, just that I began to feel warm and sleepy and then the answer was over. When read aloud, the President's answer is laughable. But no reporters laughed. Perhaps the answer to listening to Obama is to record what he says and stop the tape after every sentence.
The Sirens were said to so stupefy passing sailors with their songs that the sailors' ships ran aground, killing everyone aboard. Ships were finally saved when the sailors blocked their ears and tied themselves to the masts. We may need a similar strategy to save our country from President Obama.

Monster's Mash: As Cutler's season ends, teammates are quick to defend
LAKE FOREST – Whether he ends up being a starter somewhere along the line or just a backup, he'll always appreciate the guy that showed him the ropes of the National Football League.
"He's one of the most influential people in my career," said Bears quarterback David Fales, who was drafted by the Bears in 2014. "Coming into the league as a rookie, being around him and last year being around him, you learn a lot from him, being around him."
Kind words about someone whose heard the opposite kind of prose for a decent amount of his tenure in Chicago. The harsh talk continued towards Jay Cutler after his season came to an end this week when he was placed on Injured Reserve with a torn labrum.
As many debated the future and legacy of the quarterback, who may have played his final game with the team on November 20th against the Giants. A number of his teammates and coaches were quick to come to his defense.
Naturally, Fales was one of the first.
"People who aren't in the building and talk, who don't really know him and aren't around him, aren't in the room and aren't hearing his say and does," said Fales who sang the praises of Cutler to reporters on Wednesday. "I don't think people really know him who are talking about him."
Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains, who has worked with Cutler the past two seasons, had an even more passionate response his thought on the quarterback.
"There is a perception and there is a reality of that," said Loggains when asked about Cutler's perception from the outside. "It's been really fun the last two years getting to coach him. I enjoyed every minute of it."
After surgery to fix the torn labrum this week, Loggains expects Cutler to be back with the team to work with the quarterbacks during the last month of the season. To many in the locker room, that is not a surprise.
"He's definitely a resilient guy, always in the training room trying to get ice or doing something to get himself better," said receiver Cameron Meredith. "It's hard to see him be in this situation but he's definitely going to battle through it."
Something happened this week that's been a bit of an anomaly for the 2016 Bears: A player actually came off IR to rejoin the team.
That's the case for cornerback Kyle Fuller, who was activated this week to practice for the first time since August. He wasn't listed on any of the injury reports but whether he plays or how much won't be known till kickoff Sunday against the 49ers.
It would mark a long rehab for Fuller, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery before the season began.
"You're still knocking some rust off, but I was never really too concerned about that," said Fuller of his conditioning upon returning to practice. "I'll still be trying to work on it to make sure I'm ready to go."
While the body has some catch-up to do, Fuller's mind shouldn't. During his time on IR he stayed around the team in hopes to be ready should he got the chance to come back.
"That can be very helpful," said Fuller. "I think either way I would have been fine but just being around, being in the meeting room, being around the guys is always good."
The idea of "Bear Weather" may have disappeared years ago, but Sunday figures to be a prototypical winter setting for the team.
Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-30s with 1-to-3 inches of snow expected during the game. It will be the coldest and likely most adverse conditions the team has faced this season as Soldier Field's already notorious turf could to turn a bit treacherous.
"You try to be weatherproof, regardless of what it is. Snow, rain, wind." said John Fox when asked about preparing for the weather. "But most of that is really going to be handled by both teams in pre-game warm-up and making adjustments as you see the conditions."
The number of rushing yards needed by Jordan Howard to break Matt Forte's rookie rushing record of 1,238 yards back in 2008. So far Howard has 766 rushing yards on the year.

Monday, March 12, 2012
Since this is my spring break from school I decided to spend the entire weekend doing as much unproductive stuff as humanely possible, whether that be watching tons of movies (Hugo, Get Him to the Greek, Hanna, Down with Love, & Cruel Intentions, to name a few!), organizing my Pinterest boards, staying up late playing Draw Something, creating a new banner for the Facebook page, or simply avoiding my email. It proved successful, but I did slip up a bit on Sunday night so I wouldn't be a complete slob (& so that I would be able to take an indulgent bath sometime this week)! For the most part, though, it was nice to switch off a bit & get the lazy out of my system. Now I'm off to accomplish a ton of homework, projects, & to-do's before reality hits me next Monday (& enjoy the BEAUTIFUL NY weather while I'm at it; so much swooning going on)! Hope your weekend was as fantastically lazy as mine was! :)

- Pragmatic Practice
- Possible Practice
- Patient Practice
- Persistent Practice
- Perpetual Practice
1. Pragmatic Practice
First and foremost, we must establish a practice with the suttas that is pragmatic, applying the teachings to our own lives. It is not enough to merely read the suttas. We must relate these teachings to our lives directly at the very moment we are reading the words. Then as we go about our day the teachings will naturally come to mind and we will continue to apply them to our experiences. When we read about defilements of the mind, we must ask ourselves if they are present in our own minds. If so, we must see the danger directly and put into practice the teachings that will help remove them. When we read about wholesome qualities we have developed already, we must rejoice in this merit.
When our focus is on putting the teachings into practice — whatever small part we understand — our faith in the enlightenment of the Buddha will grow. And we won't be obsessed and depressed by not understanding everything we read because we see for ourselves how beneficial even the smallest bit of Dhamma is.
2. Possible Practice
We must make sure that the practice we choose is possible. We can do this by choosing a text that is both suitable for our knowledge level as well as suitable for the amount of time that we can realistically dedicate on a daily basis. It may be good to start with a practice that only takes a few minutes each day, such as reading a chapter from the Dhammapada or a single sutta from the Itivuttaka. These texts are both suitable for beginners as well as possible to do in about five minutes. By establishing a practice that is totally possible, we painlessly build up the habit and begin to see directly the benefit of encountering the suttas every single day. It's hard to imagine anyone not having five minutes each day to dedicate to experiencing the suttas.
3. Patient Practice
The Dhamma is both subtle and profound. We must be patient as we read, not getting discouraged if we come across passages that we do not understand. In fact, we can surely expect to read things that we do not understand completely. The skill to develop is the ability to focus our attention on the parts we do understand and put those into practice. As we put what we do understand into practice, our wisdom and faith will grow. If we are patient, understanding will come with time.
4. Persistent Practice
We get the most benefit from reading the suttas when we do it every day or nearly every day. Far better to read for only five minutes a day than to read for a half an hour once a week. If our life situation changes and we become more busy, we need to reevaluate how much time we can give to the practice and perhaps shift to a practice that takes less time. But it is essential that when our life gets crazy we continue to engage with the teachings.
5. Perpetual Practice
It is important to see our relationship with the suttas as an ongoing one. They are not something that we read once and are done with. Reading the suttas every day is a habit that can bring benefits as long as our lives last. As our wisdom grows, we will understand more and more. But we need to be engaged with the teachings over the long term to see this benefit. When you finish a book, begin again the very next day.

Accessories brand KOMONO has teamed up with Belgium-based artist Baloji to release a capsule collection of four unique styles of sunglasses. Imparting his signature afro-centric energy onto the Dizzy, Mujinga, Tshala and Kitoko models, both rapper and brand draw from a colonial aesthetic that remains an important source of inspiration for the Congolese artist. All styles make use of malachite and gold colorways: two hues that exude an opulent quality yet cling to a regard for Baloji's birthplace.

Crawford & Company®: A Place for Apprentices to Learn and Climb the Career Ladder in the UK
BBC News recently reported that the number of apprenticeships among 16 to 19-year-olds has decreased by 10,000 since 2010; the news story was based on a committee report by members of the British Parliament titled Apprenticeships and Traineeships for 16 to 19 year olds.
However, Crawford & Company® is embracing the opportunity to provide solid apprenticeship programs to ensure the insurance industry has talented and skilled professionals for future generations.
While Crawford & Company continues to invest in its established graduate recruitment program, the company has also identified apprenticeships as a vital component to the development of its business.
"Apprenticeships allow different personalities an opportunity to enter the industry," says Pauline Holroyd, vice president, Human Resources, Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia Pacific. "We look for a mix of skills and whilst we are keen to offer programs for university graduates, we are just as prepared to invest our time and resources to train youth through apprenticeships and traineeships."
Providing a variety of ways to enter the insurance industry is also a means of delivering equal opportunities, adds Pauline. "Everyone learns in different ways, some prefer textbook support whilst others are hands-on and favor practical learning. In order to support our ambition to become a learning organization, we set up our Crawford College, which provides a platform for capturing knowledge and sharing it through e-learning."
Apprentices coming into the organization will undertake training that incorporates professional exams through the Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters or the Chartered Insurance Institute so that they obtain their CILA or CII Certificate as well as the NVQ in Providing Financial Services. Crawford & Company provides a considerable amount of support including revision workshops to help people pass their exams first time.
"The aim of this and the graduate program is to nurture potential future claims handling talent and equip them with the fundamental skills and knowledge needed to be a successful loss adjuster," says Bill Keith, training manager, UK. "Everyone, including existing employees is invited to take advantage of Crawford College. We encourage our employees to develop their technical skills and knowledge by undertaking various professional exams and we will support everyone financially and through training workshops."
Our vision, values and culture also play a part in the training and Crawford & Company encourages its apprentices to participate in improvement work to deliver the best possible service to customers.
Crawford's commitment to continuous learning has been acknowledged by the Insurance industry too. Crawford won the Insurance Times Award 2014 for Training, Excellence & Impact, reflecting the success of its commitment to improve professional qualification success, including the continuation of apprenticeships through Crawford College.
If you are interested in undertaking a training program or finding out a bit more about Crawford College, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thoughts About Color, but First My New Granddaughter
It is such an exciting time in my life right now because I have a first grandchild, born May 31st, and her name is Eleanor Mae (sounds like a good novelist's or artist's name). I'm spending time at my daughter and son-in-law's helping to take care of her. I have to tell you right now, grandchildren are the best reason for having children. What a blessing from God she is!
In the midst of all this, believe it or not, I've been thinking about color. Maybe it's being impressed with the wonders of God's creation and color is a big part of that. Having a pretty good grounding in color theory from my formal art training, I feel I have an adequate ability to lay down and organize colors to express what I want or to make a good composition. What is more intuitive, however, and continually changing in my work is color mixing and color choice. Because I am now allowing nature to inspire me, I've come to notice the incredible range of colors that exist on the surface of one smooth stone or one small clump of moss. The wide variety of greens in a clump of moss may be extremely subtle and difficult to notice, but I strive to do just that and this enables me to get a real richness that I'm striving for in my work.
And so, I've been spending a great deal of time recently just mixing colors of polymer. For example, I'll mix an interesting green, then cut it up into 8 or pieces and add a small amount of another color to each piece and mix it in - maybe white to one piece, ecru to another, a teeny bit of red to another, yellow to another and mud to another. So all the pieces work well together because they have the same base green, but yet all are different. The resulting richness of color enables me to achieve a successful organic quality.
This richness is particularly evident in my "Blowing Grass Purse". I first mixed a large Skinner blend made of 5 colors - purple/ecru/green/ecru/peachy orange - then cut it up into 6 equal pieces and added small amounts of other colors to each blend and mixed each in. So I ended up with 6 variations of one Skinner blend and rolled many pieces of grass out of each, then assembled them all into one clump. These variations are called color shifting and can become extremely powerful when used in one piece of artwork.

What a joy - a first grandchild. My sister has always said that if she'd known having grandchildren would be so much fun, she'd have done that first. ;-) Lovely name, too.

Blessings on you and your sweet new granddaughter, and of course, her parents.

You certainly look like a happy grandma, although little Eleanor looks like she's ready for a snooze.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your color theory. It totally makes sense.
What clay brand do you find works the best for you with true color? Also do you use clays in the colors already blended or do you start with basics and blend your own? I noticed that you used a "peachey orange" so that indicates that you mix at least some of your own colors in the Skinner blend.
Your "Blowing Grass Purse" has been one of my favorites and your ability to attach the blades so closely together without their losing their individual shape intrigues me. Have any hints you'd be willing to share? Are the blades cured individually and then assembled?
Thanks in advance for any clues you'd care to share.

I've done some clay things too, and am inspired to get back to clay as an adjunct to the braiding. One always needs an additon which is unavailable, so why not make it? Thanks for your inspiration. i plan to read your blog regularly.

IndiGo will strike gold if Air India's
- By Editorial Desk --
- July 16, 2017 --
- 0 Comments
Just a day after the Union Cabinet cleared a proposal to allow the sale of government stake in Air India, IndiGo Chief Executive Aditya Ghosh wrote to the aviation ministry expressing his airline's interest in Air India, primarily its international business.
However, the market did not take it well. After the piece of news pummelled the stock prices of InterGlobe Aviation, the company that owns IndiGo, the promoters were last week forced to organise an investors' call.
In the hour-long call co-founder Rakesh Gangwal explained that the airline was planning to enter the long-haul international market on a low-cost model, with or without Air India. Surely, however, buying out Air India – provided it is viable – would help IndiGo grow the business faster.
There are many reasons why IndiGo should want to split the airline into two parts, or even more as Gangwal suggested. But aviation leaders and analysts are divided on the merit of such a move; many believe a spin-off would reduce the number of suitors for Air India and not fetch the government the best value for its stake.
What are the key arguments? For one, Air India's international business has tremendous value; if it sold off separately, there might not be much incentive for suitors to go for just the domestic business.

From the second half of the 19th Century onwards, the Muslim world has been wallowing in a pit of dissension and tumult. For the last 150 years, North Africa, the Middle East and the Near Eastern regions have been ravaged by myriad revolutions, civil wars, conflicts and invasions. Regardless of age or gender, millions of Muslims have been martyred in this environment of violence while millions more have tried to hold onto life in exile, refugee camps, devastated cities or derelict houses.
Independent journal and think tank Eurasia Review published Harun Yahya's article "Qatar Crisis And Muslims' Responsibility'" on November 10th 2015. You may read the article at the below links.

From years in the business, we know that especially for first-time movers, the moving process can leave you full of questions and important decisions to make which add up quickly developing unnecessary stress to your already stressful moving experience.One question that we've heard multiple times is "what time of day to move". Interesting question when you think of it, we all see the tips of which day is the best to move, but which time is a different story. Our suggestion is as early in the day as possible! This time will allow you plenty of time to address any obstacles or issues that might pop up.
Common issues:
- Traffic/Accident Delay
- Inclement Weather Delays
- Unreliable Moving Companies – showing up late
- Moving at Night – improper lighting when moving boxes and furniture
Of course, when working with College Grads Moving you won't run into one of the most common issues which is your moving company showing up on time. We hear stories of companies that show up hours late or not at all. This can put you in a tough spot where you've lost valuable moving time on perhaps your only day to move.

Brian Poulsen fought on the front lines of America's war against illegal immigration for three decades. He patrolled the border near San Diego on horseback, grew a ragged beard to disguise himself as a human smuggler, arrested and deported thousands of illegal immigrants, and tracked down fake document vendors at local flea markets.
His job description was clear: Do everything you can to stop illegal immigrants from coming and kick them out if they get here.
But Poulsen and other agents have discovered it's not easy to enforce immigration laws — especially those that target employers.
Aggressive crackdowns can backfire if they hurt business. A sweep of Midwestern meatpacking plants in the late 1990s, for example, prompted outrage from business and civic leaders. Immigration officials have learned to tread lightly.
Poulsen, who retired this year as the top immigration enforcement official in the central San Joaquin Valley, tried to strike a balance between stopping illegal immigration and protecting farmers' interests. His office rarely conducted audits, never issued a fine and avoided messy, high-profile raids that would permanently shut down a business and separate families.
"There's a little bit of a tightrope. I understand where the farmers are coming from," said Poulsen, who grew up harvesting potatoes in Idaho. "You don't want to see people go out of business, but at the same time, we're sworn to do a job and can't look the other way."
Things may be changing: The Obama administration has stepped up the pace of audits, which are less likely to spark a backlash than workplace raids. For example, of 16 audits conducted in the central San Joaquin Valley over the past eight years, 11 have come since late 2008.
Some agriculture leaders in the Valley are worried about the audits, which can hurt businesses by making them fire all their illegal workers.
But government figures show that the new effort is tame compared to the early 1990s, when immigration officials fined about 900 companies a year and audited thousands. This year, they fined 237.

Plum District has a great deal on $50 worth of food storage from Lock & Lock (these are some of my favorites for keeping things fresh). They have the certificate for $23, but they are also still running a 30% off code (plumlove), meaning you get it for just $16!
The best deal is on the sets of plastic or glass containers. The 32 piece set above is normally $35.99 so you can still add a few more pieces to get to $50! Heads up: shipping is additional $5.99 and isn't covered by the voucher.
I use the larger ones to keep opened flour, sugar, pasta and other products fresh & organized in my pantry, so I'm excited to try the smaller ones for more day to day food storage.

ChemLine® Provides Over 10 Years Sulphuric Acid Service in Canada
This case study highlights several sulphuric acid tank coating projects done with Advanced Polymer Coating' ChemLine® 784/32 polymer coating more than decade ago, and which are still in service today.
A major H2SO4 producer and worldwide solution provider for handling industrial bi-products, had corrosion issues with several of its Sulphuric Acid Tanks. In August 2000, they contacted Brother's Specialized Coatings, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and contracted them to internally line an uninsulated carbon steel above ground yard storage tank (called tank #2). This comprised lining the lower 22 feet of shell, and a floor area of 28 feet high x 30 feet in diameter. The cargo is 93% Sulphuric Acid at ambient temperatures. ChemLine® 784/32 was the recommended lining.
In August 2002 a second nearly identical yard storage tank (called Tank #1) was also internally lined with ChemLine® 784/32.
Tank Inspection
In the Spring 2010, both Tank #1 and Tank #2 were drained, cleaned and inspected. The ChemLine® lining in Tank #2 was observed to have stained, however the lining was fully intact and no other anomalies were noted. The tank was placed back into service.
Inspection of Tank #1 revealed a small area of intercoat delamination approximately on the southwest side of the tank approximately 4 feet to 6 feet up from the tank floor. The topcoat had delaminated but the first (base) coat was still fully adhered to the substrate and was providing protection to the substrate in this area. In May 2010 this tank was abrasive blasted to NACE 1 White-Metal cleanliness and recoated with Chemline® 784/32.
The photos are of the manway lid for storage Tank #1 after it was removed for tank inspection. These photos are indicative of the staining of the lining system that was found in both storage Tanks #1 and #2. Some mechanical damage can also be observed. This appears to have happened during removal and transport of the lid. Scrubbing with a damp cloth removed some of the staining and the coating could be observed as being close to its original color before being placed in service.
In July 2007 two additional horizontal carbon steel storage vessel tanks, each 10 feet in diameter x 22 feet long, used for 98% Sulphuric Acid service were coated with ChemLine® 784/32.
Tank Inspection
The owner is very satisfied with the performance of the ChemLine® 784/32 lining and the services provided by Brother's Specialized Coatings Services.

Ariana Grande 'Deeply Saddened' by Doctor Advised Show Cancelation
Ariana Grande has announced she won't be taking the stage for Rock in Rio performance on Sunday (May 29) in Lisbon, Portugal.
The 22-year-old "Into You" singer shared the news on Twitter the night before, revealing that she had a sinus and throat infection and had been advised by her doctor to cancel the performance.
"I'm deeply saddened to tell my babes in Portugal that I have to cancel my performance at Rock in Rio. (I've literally been crying over this for an hour)," Ariana wrote. "I promise to make it up to you, and to give you the best show I'm capable of when I return."

The "pulp" of a tooth cannot be seen with the naked eye. Pulp is found at the center of each tooth, and is comprised of nerves, tissue, and many blood vessels, which work to channel vital nutrients and oxygen. There are several ways in which pulp can be damaged. Most commonly in children, tooth decay or traumatic injury lead to painful pulp exposure and inflammation.
Pediatric pulp therapy is known by several other names, including: root canal, pulpotomy, pulpectomy, and nerve treatment. The primary goal of pulp therapy is to treat, restore, and save the affected tooth.
Pediatric dentists perform pulp therapy on both primary (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Though primary teeth are eventually shed, they are needed for speech production, proper chewing, and to guide the proper alignment and spacing of permanent teeth.
What are the signs of pulp injury and infection?
Inflamed or injured pulp is exceptionally painful. Even if the source of the pain isn't visible, it will quickly become obvious that the child needs to see the pediatric dentist.
Here are some of the other signs to look for:
When should a child undergo pulp therapy?
Every situation is unique. The pediatric dentist assesses the age of the child, the positioning of the tooth, and the general health of the child before making a recommendation to extract the tooth or to save it via pulp therapy.
Some of the undesirable consequences of prematurely extracted/missing teeth are listed below:
How is pulp therapy performed?
Initially, the pediatric dentist will perform visual examinations and evaluate X-rays of the affected areas. The amount and location of pulp damage dictates the nature of the treatment. Although there are several other treatments available, the pediatric pulpotomy and pulpectomy procedures are among the most common performed.
Pulpotomy - If the pulp root remains unaffected by injury or decay, meaning that the problem is isolated in the pulp tip, the pediatric dentist may leave the healthy part alone and only remove the affected pulp and surrounding tooth decay. The resulting gap is then filled with a biocompatible, therapeutic material, which prevents infection and soothes the pulp root. Most commonly, a crown is placed on the tooth after treatment. The crown strengthens the tooth structure, minimizing the risk of future fractures.
Pulpotomy treatment is extremely versatile. It can be performed as a standalone treatment on baby teeth and growing permanent teeth, or as the initial step in a full root canal treatment.
Pulpectomy - In the case of severe tooth decay or trauma, the entire tooth pulp (including the root canals) may be affected. In these circumstances, the pediatric dentist must remove the pulp, cleanse the root canals, and then pack the area with biocompatible material. This usually takes several office visits.
In general, reabsorbable material is used to fill primary teeth, and non-reabsorbable material is used to fill permanent teeth. Either way, the final treatment step is to place a crown on the tooth to add strength and provide structural support. The crown can be disguised with a natural-colored covering, if the child prefers.
If you have questions or concerns about the pediatric pulp therapy procedure, please contact your pediatric dentist.
Given my own fears, I regularly attempt to actualize "dental anxiety". I can't really come up with something solid anymore thanks to Dr.
M and his team.
I'm always completely calm during my twice-a-year cleanings and exams.
Dianne is comforting and thorough as she gently reminds me to floss. A reminder I must hear again and again...and again. (Yes, it is like quitting smoking. Thank you Mr. Hedberg. I'm working on it.) His reception staff is equally as professional. They are all very welcoming and well-prepared to deal with anxious patients.
Dr. Modjtahedi is beyond professional. I still cannot fathom how he completely removes all pain from any surgical procedure or cavity filling.
He's an ace. He is one of the few professionals that I will gladly trek through the amazon to visit on a semi-annual basis. He has managed to remove my trepidation for the last five years. I'd recommend him to anyone.
Here's to a full set of teeth. Unless I don't start flossing.
Keith S. Long Beach, CA - 2/21/2010
After years of being dragged to dentists all over Little Saigon, I was convinced that I had an absolute fear of all dentists. Quite frankly, it was pathetic how terrified I was of them.
I found Dr. Modjtahedi through 1-800-DENTISTS, and within the first half hour of meeting him, felt completely at ease. "OOOH," I realized, "I'm not scared of dentists. I'm just scared of medical practitioners who have no idea what they're doing!"
Because I had avoided the dentist for awhile (and before that had had bad work done), there were several things that needed to be fixed. Every staff member was extremely caring and professional; They weren't over-crowded or over-worked, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Dianne, the hygienist, was great. She, along with everyone else, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I felt comforted knowing that these professionals kept up to date on the latest advancements in their fields. Also, they really took their time. I was never kept waiting, or rushed through an assembly line of anxious patients.
During this time, I also had to have some oral surgery done. I was extremely nervous about this, but Dr. M referred me to a colleague at Newport Medical Center who did a good job (Hey, sticking a needle in my arm without me even realizing it was pretty damn nice). Later, when I had complications due to dry sockets, I paged Dr. M in the middle of the night.
He called me back within minutes.
Getting care at Bijan Family is not cheap, but it's not outrageous either.
Of course, they don't misdiagnose you on purpose and subject you to painful, unnecessary (and often harmful) "treatments" just to claim the insurance.
They treat you with respect, and always keep you informed with honest information. Unfortunately, I have become one of those uninsured Americans.
But that hasn't stopped me from recommending Dr. M and his staff to anyone who asks.
LASTLY: If you are someone who hates needles, Dr. M is the dentist for you.
His competence alone was enough; It made me realize that lot of fear was dissipated just by finding a doctor to trust. I was surprised, however, when he jiggled my cheek as he numbed me. On top of being slightly amused, I hardly felt a thing!

MOCANAQUA -- You don't see many assembly lines like this anymore. It's in the basement of St. Mary's along Main Street in Mocanaqua.
This is where about a dozen volunteers are making pigs in a blanket for the annual church picnic.
The cabbages were boiled, separated into leaves, and ready to go.
"We put the cabbage leaves on towels in case they're too wet and then the towel absorbs the wetness from it," explained volunteer Carol Howell, because nobody likes a soggy piggy.
At the other end of the room is where they make the filling; beef and rice are the main ingredients.
"We put them in the oven. We cook them for three hours. They come out and everybody says, 'Wow, these are delicious!'" said volunteer Leon Zimolzak.
But the man at the mixer, Leon Zimolzak, fears the tradition here, started in 1933, might come to an end one of these years. He says the church isn't getting the younger volunteers they need to keep the piggie process going.
Gloria Handzelek is another of the volunteers. She's been rolling her own, and yours, too, for about 50 years.
"We know we're doing something good for the church, and we enjoy being together," said Handzelek. "One big happy family."
The family knows its food. By the time they are done, they will have crafted 1,000 piggies, using 45 large heads of cabbage and 240 pounds of ground beef.
The recipe is a secret, but it's all ingredients you have around the house. It seems the key to a St. Mary's piggy is in the size and the proportion.
They're big, a cup of filling in each, and you get two in an order. There isn't a lot of rice as filler, and the people here stress it's real rice, not the instant stuff.
You'll have to wait a while before you get your hands on a St. Mary's piggy. After the assembly, they'll be cooked, then frozen. The annual "Homecoming Picnic" begins the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend.

Having problems stat migrating the new races and ithorians? Here is your fix.
As far as i know only 3 races are having problems with stat migrations right now
Ithorians, Hutts and Nautolans.
Ithorians : Their focus can go lower than 400, you can set it on 300 to be exact. *Note this is not for everyone, some people create an ithorian and their focus cant go lower than 400, you dont have problems stat migrating either*
Fix: Just set focus to 400, then the stat migrate will stick.
Bigger issue, Nautolans can set their Strength, Constution, quickness and stamina to 300. Dont, it will not stick. and their lowest willpower is 700.
Fix: Set Strength, constitution, quickness and stamina to 400, then it will stick so the best you can do looks like this
850 health
400 Strength
400 Constitution
850 Action
400 Quickness
400 Stamina
1000 Mind
400 Focus
700 Willpower
This will stick, have fun
Dont even try to stat migrate, since they have 5k health and 5k action
When you stat migrate, all these points will be converted and theres no place to actually spend them. my best call is, roll a medic, he has 1.1k mind and well have fun with that.
If you know more species that have problems, just let me know and i will figure it out in a few minutes.
Have fun.

Hey thanks for a response, wow that's a lot of info you put there. Yes I tried emailing Dev Rose at email@example.com but no response so far, that was about 5 days ago.
As far as the game I think its working alright, I had my first account and characters on the server since the end of 2015 and then that last wipe happened and I remade an account then, but was unable to play for awhile and lost the password. The game has always started and ran ok the last couple years when I played. When I start the old launcher last week it patched up some files and seems to be working ok.
As far as the pre cu client files I don't need to "maybe" find them somewhere :P I have all the original SWG cds and even cds from when I was in the SWG beta. Thanks for all the usefull info! You listed a couple new pages I was not aware of, but really right now I just need password fixed or account deleted. I tried making a new account but it said my ip already had an account associated with it.

Sean Spicer Slammed For Saying 'Hitler Didn't Use Chemical Weapons' Like Assad
Sean Spicer has had a lot of gaffes in his 3 months as press secretary, but this one takes the cake. On April 11 he claimed that Hitler didn't use chemical weapons like Assad in Syria, ignoring the estimated 1.1 million Jews and other people he gassed to death during the Holocaust. See furious tweets here.
This is on another level. Sean Spicer, 45, sent the internet into a frenzy on April 11 while talking about how appalling Assad's use of chemical weapons against his citizens in Syria was. While of course we agree with that, the way he described the situation was unacceptable. In a press conference, Spicer said "we didn't use chemical weapons in WWII. You have someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons."
Sean Spicer saying Hitler didn't use chemical weapons in WWII.🤦🏽♂ #PressBriefingpic.twitter.com/2omxhbS9hU
— Erick Fernandez (@ErickFernandez) April 11, 2017
Um, what? Apparently Spicer forgot about the 1.1 million people, including Jews, that Adolf Hitler murdered in the gas chambers of his concentration camps during WWII using the chemical Zyklon B. The timing could not be worse considering the comment came during Passover, and Donald Trump noticeably skipped the White House Seder one day before. He has also been criticized for neglecting to respond to mounting anti-Semitic acts around the country and the globe.
Spicer was given the opportunity to clarify his statement, and somehow made it even worse. "I think when you come to sarin gas, [Hitler] was not using the gas on his people the same way as Assad was doing," said Spicer. "He brought them into the holocaust centers, I understand that.
I'm saying in the way that Assad used it, dropped it down into innocent, dropped it into the middle of towns, it was broad, the use of it."
Okay, does Spicer think that the Jews were NOT Hitler's people? Because he keeps saying Assad used gas "on his own people," comparatively to Hitler, who killed millions of German citizens. Also, we assume he meant concentration camps when he said "Holocaust centers" which makes them sound like a museum or something rather than a death camp.
Sean Spicer: Pics Of Melissa McCarthy's Amazing Impression
Look, obviously what Assad did – gassing hundreds of people in Syria including women and children – was an atrocity. It's one of the worst mass murders we've seen in recent years, and against his own innocent people. But why would Spicer try to compare it to one of the greatest genocide in history, with incorrect facts, no less?
Here are some of the enraged responses from Americans on Twitter:
