When I don't have much work my mind loiters in all possible direction. I am bit weird and unique from childhood. According my friends my uniqueness make them call me psychic. Losers! When they have tons of problems still they can't stop commenting on me.
As a young spinster daughter's dad even my dad has some worries about me .Specially about my marriage. So far no guy dared to knock my door! Guess even they know marriage does not provide exchange scheme, if you don't like it then change it.
I am 25.This info is for those who didn't do R and D in my Face Book profile. My mom had strictly told me that I am left out with only 2 options. 1. Getting married and 2.becoming a nun. Compare to 1 first one second one sounds better, even though I know I will miss out some fun.
Marriage is life time package which includes cooking, cleaning, washing and many more things I don't know. Married people know better than me and those are single enjoy your freedom. Being freedom lover I felt marriage is prison if and only if your life time partner is not broad minded as you expected. In-laws melodrama will be running 24/7 pathetic than Ekta Kapoor's serials. When main roles are carried out by our partners gang we have to act like dumb cow who shakes its head in response. If you start acting like real human being then you are in deep shit
I feel becoming nun is a good option. Being Jesus my best buddy (I know many will laugh when they hear about it) submitting my list of needs through prayer, worshiping him, getting up at 5 am is not big deal. Even though I love to sleep till10! Nowadays even nuns are in face book so I can still contact my friends. I can write too! But being a nun may be my mind instead of loitering will choose a straight road and see only god. Sounds really psychic
I shut my mind out of those thoughts and concentrate on how I can ever stay single! Every day I can celebrate Independence Day.
I need a break badly. If I was a guy I could have said in more fashionable way "I need to have a smoke" .Being a gal also I can say that but I can't stand it. Instead I say I need to pee.

FLINT, MI -- The number of Flint-area deaths from Legionnaires' Disease has climbed to 12 after the state received new data from area hospitals showing three more cases, including two that were fatal.
The cases were reported between May and October 2015 and were discovered when officials from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reviewed hospital testing data recently submitted to the department, according to an MDHHS news release.
"To date, 91 cases and 12 deaths have been identified in total for 2014 and 2015 in Genesee County," said Eden Wells, chief medical executive with the MDHHS. "We remain vigilant in identifying any potential case associated with the outbreak."
According to the release, two of the three newly discovered cases were not previously reported in the 2015 summary because they were not appropriately reported to the public health system.
The third was reported in a different jurisdiction, and there was "no epidemiologic information available to link it to the outbreak," according to the release.
The new discovery brings the number of Legionnaires' deaths during the water crisis to 12. There were 46 cases of Legionnaires' and seven deaths from May to October 2015. There were 45 cases and 5 deaths from June 2014 to March 2015, the release says.
According to the release, Legionella is a type of bacteria commonly found in the environment that grows best in warm water, such as potable water systems (hospitals, large buildings), hot tubs, cooling towers, and decorative fountains.
When people are exposed to the bacteria, it can cause legionellosis, a respiratory disease that can infect the lungs and cause pneumonia. The bacteria can also cause a less serious infection called Pontiac fever. Legionella is not transmitted person to person, according to the release.
The spike cannot be conclusively tied to the switch in the city's water source in 2014, but there is no evidence that proves it is not the cause, the release says.
It was determined that more than half of the people - 55 percent, or 50 individuals - contracted Legionnaires' at a hospital served by the city's water system, the release says.
Teams from MDHHS, Wayne State University, the Genesee County Health Department and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are expected to continue enhanced surveillance for Legionnaires' Disease in 2016.
MDHHS is also working with the hospitals to ensure accurate reporting in the future.

A further 100 jobs to be cut from the Deniliquin and Leeton mills
SunRice has yesterday announced a further 100 job losses anticipated in 2020, following further reconfiguration of its Riverina operations.
The C20 crop, to be harvested in 2020, is now expected to be smaller than the C19 crop harvested earlier this year, which at 54,000 tonnes was the second lowest crop on record.
"It is with deep regret we have been forced to make another series of changes to our Riverina operations ahead of the 2020 harvest," SunRice CEO, Mr Rob Gordon, said.
"[Wednesday's] announcement will take the total number of positions impacted to approximately 230 since reconfiguration commenced in November 2018."
SunRice took significant steps, including putting record prices to growers in August 2019 in a bid to stimulate plantings for C20, which has ensured that a milling program should be maintained at the Deniliquin and Leeton mills until at least early 2021.
While SunRice has been able to keep both Deniliquin and Leeton Mills open, the small plantings for C20 mean shifts will drop to a one shift operation at both mills, commencing from the end of the first quarter of 2020.
As a result, SunRice announced that 80 manufacturing and support staff will be affected. Twenty more staff at SunRice's storage subsidiary, Australian Grain Storage, will also be impacted.
This will bring the total number of job losses at SunRice's Riverina operations to approximately 230 positions since reconfiguration commenced in November 2018.

Following a vote by the city council at last week's meeting, a four-way stop sign will be installed at the intersection of Vann Street and E. Street on the east side of Williams.
The council voted unanimously to approve the installation of two stop signs for east- and westbound E Street traffic at the intersection. The project will also include pavement repairs, roadway striping, and installation of high-visibility crosswalks. It will cost the city about $200,000.
City Administrator Frank Kennedy said that the project will be funded using the balance of the $900,000 the city loaned itself for street pavement repairs earlier this year.
Kennedy said that the bid on the initial pavement repair project, for which the money was initially earmarked, came in well under budget, opening up the $200,000 for the work on the Vann Street and E Street intersection.
"I like the idea that this is going to look good, and not going to bounce you around when you come to Williams, because this enhances our appearance, and our ability to draw people in," Councilmember John Troughton, Jr. said.
Trin Campos, Williams' city engineer, said that traffic volume alone wasn't enough to warrant a stop sign at the intersection, but added that a number of safety factors came into play as the east side of town continues to become more urbanized with new commercial and residential development.
Campos proposed two more locations for the installation of four-way stop signs, both of which were on Seventh Street. The work on those two intersections would have cost the city $40,000 apiece. The council asked Campos to bring back more information on those two intersections at a later date. ■


text: Released in 1998, Something Wicked This Way Comes offers Iced Earth virtually replicating their previous effort, The Dark Saga, but with somewhat less inspired results. "Burning Times," "Stand Alone," and "My Own Savior" are fine slabs of the classic metal/thrash metal combination the band has become known for, but they lack the spark of yesteryear. "1776" is a humdrum instrumental in the Iron Maiden mold, and while "Watching Over Me" and "Consequences" show the band breaking new melodic ground, "Disciples of the Lie" and "Blessed Are You" are two of the few truly memorable songs. Perhaps time limits are the real problem, as the band seems most at home during the extended compositions comprising the "Something Wicked" trilogy which closes the album. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

Diana: Her Fashion Story (Part 1)
Victoria Haddock
Diana, Princess of Wales (1961-1997) is the focus of a sold out exhibition at Kensington Palace that celebrates her life and style twenty years after her death. Diana: Her Fashion Story features twenty-five garments, photographs and original sketches in six themed displays that chart the evolution of Diana's style from Sloane debutante, to glamorous princess, to confident humanitarian. Warning: be prepared to queue at busier times for entry into the exhibition space - the route through the exhibition is one way and staff only allow a certain number through at a time so that everyone gets the chance to see the items on display. I would recommend advanced booking.
The first dress that you see is Diana's debutante ball gown by Regamus, a brand popular with young aristocratic women, which she wore to an autumn ball at Althorp House in 1979. This and the now iconic pink chiffon blouse with 'pie-crust' collar by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, which Diana wore for a feature on 'Upcoming Beauties' in Vogue in 1981, defined the early English-Rose, 'Lady Di' look. The Vogue publication coincided with Diana and Prince Charles' engagement announcement and the 'Lady Di' blouse was immediately copied on the high street, selling out within days. Princess Diana's Emmanuel designed wedding dress is not featured in the exhibition, but the Bill Pashley tweed wool suit worn on her honeymoon at Balmoral is. The Princess asked the designer for two differently sized versions of the suit, eventually taking the larger suit to allow room to participate in country pursuits.
As the new Princess of Wales, Diana would have had to attend numerous yearly public engagements that would require different practical and aesthetic requirements from her clothing. In 1985 Diana explained some of the rules to Royal dressing that she had learnt; 'you'd be amazed what one has to worry about, from obvious things like the wind… and you've got to put your arm up to get some flowers, so you can't have something too revealing and you can't have hems too short'.(1) She began to create a working wardrobe with British designers, many of whom she would stay loyal to, helping to shape her image from 'Lady Di' to a proud ambassador for the British fashion industry.
Catherine Walker (1945-2010) became one of The Princess of Wales' favourite designers, their professional relationship starting three months after Diana's wedding and lasting until her death. During the late 1980s and 1990s, Catherine Walker designed many of Diana's tailored silhouettes to flatter her 5'10" figure, and together they developed what Walker would call Diana's 'royal uniform'.(2) The exhibition featured a number of Catherine Walker's designs (she is noted for having created 1,000 for the Princess of Wales during her lifetime). My favourite piece was a cream silk crepe dress decorated with sequined falcons, which the Princess wore during a 1986 official visit to Saudi Arabia. The dress was designed to be regal and respect local customs, with long sleeves and a high neckline, while the embroidered falcons conveyed a diplomatic message by referencing the hosts' national bird. Another Walker outfit on display was the pearl encrusted dress and bolero-style jacket, that became known as the 'Elvis' dress. Diana wore the glamorous creation to the British Fashion Awards in 1989 and on a visit to Hong Kong, looking every inch the modern royal.
One of the most popular dresses on display, and probably her most famous evening gown, was the midnight-blue velvet Victor Edelstien gown worn to a state dinner at the White House in 1985. On a mannequin the dress looked a little stiff, yet images of the twirling ruched velvet filled newspapers and TV screens the next day after The Princess of Wales was snapped dancing with John Travolta.
The final room of the exhibition contains a selection of the seventy-nine dresses Diana sold at Christie's in New York in June 1997. The sale raised $3.25 million for Aids and cancer charities and can be seen as a symbolic act, following the end of her royal duties and the start of her new life focusing on humanitarian work. The ice-blue Versace beaded dress that Diana was photographed in by Patrick Demarchelier and the black silk crepe and beaded Catherine Walker evening dress worn at a UNESCO charity event in 1994 reflect Diana's decision to wear continental as well as British designers following her divorce. Diana's evolution into an international fashion icon saw her learn 'the power of her own image and how to use it to help others and raise awareness of a good cause' (Lynn, 2017, p. 12).
Diana: Her Fashion Story is showing at Kensington Palace until 28th February 2018.

Sainsbury is offering a film and ebook bundle offer which it claims is the first of its kind in the world – download the film Captain Phillips for £9.99 and get the ebook that the film is based on completely free. The offer though is valid only until Feb 16th.
"Whenever a major feature film based on a book is released naturally lots of people want to read the book that inspired it. Historically there have been special tie-in editions of individual books, but the speed and convenience of digital downloads now make it possible to bundle the film and the book together for one great price. We're delighted to be the first UK retailer to offer multi-format entertainment in this way," said Tim Lennox, managing director at eBooks by Sainsbury.
The film has already received some rave reviews and is based on a true, gripping story of a US cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama that was hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009. The film has already raked in $214million in box offices worldwide and the ebook is considered just as enthralling to read as the film.

Well I will be horrendously busy with my favorite thing (insert sarcasm) standardized testing for the majority of April...sigh...but when and if I find time between that and watching my son, I have ordered two books from the library by Diane Ravitch. I either agree or disagree with her, black and white and no gray. Then I'm also reading Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt's "Deliberate Dumbing Down of America". She may be tied with John Taylor Gatto as my educational heroes. Expect more literary responses in my blog whenever I get to it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amOQOG3o9DA has a video of Iserbyt that is pretty eye-opening.

Shev Bhaji or Sev Bhaji is a very popular Maharashtrian recipe. Sev is deep fried savory noodles made with besan or gram flour. Sev Bhaji is sev cooked in rassa or broth, which is quite spicy. Sev is very absorbent and it thickens the broth, turning it into the gravy-like consistency. The sev bhaji gravy is piquant, very warm and comforting. It has a layer or spicy oil on the top, also known as tarri.
Shev bhaji is typically enjoyed with bajra bhakri (Pearl millet flat breads) or jowar bhakri , which are much healthier, gluten-free choices. You could serve them with rotis or rice too.
Sev Bhaji
Serves: 4
- Onions – 2 medium,sliced
- Dried coconut – 5 tbsp, grated or sliced
- Garlic – 8 small cloves
- Ginger – ½ inch
- Oil – 1 tbsp + 4 tbsp
- Red chili powder – 2 tbsp
- Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
- Khandeshi garam masala powder – 1/3 tsp or garam masala -1 tsp
- Lal teekha sev / Red Spicy Sev – 1 & ½ cups
- Jaggery – 1 tsp (optional)
Salt – to taste
- Water – 3 cups approx.
- Coriander leaves – a handful
- Procedure
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet and add sliced onions to it.
- Sauté them on a medium-high flame stirring them often till they turn golden brown.
- Let the onion cool. Add them to the grinder jar along with the garlic, dried coconut and ginger .Grind the ingredients to a very smooth paste using some water.
- Add the remaining 4 tbsp oil in the same skillet and warm it. Do not heat the oil completely. Add the spices; garam masasla powder, red chili powder, and turmeric powder and sauté them on very low flame for a few seconds till they give out a nice aroma. Add in the ground paste and sauté on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. When the raw smell of garlic goes away and the oil begins to separate, add in the jaggery . Mix and sauté for a few more seconds till the jaggery melts. The mixture would look bright and ooz oil. Add in the 3 cups of water and mix well. Bring it to a boil. Let it simmer till the curry thickens a bit and a layer of oil forms on the top. Add in the coriander leaves. If you are going to serve the shevbhaji immediately, add in the shev now. Let it simmer for 1 minute and then turn off the heat. If you would serve it later, add shev later just before serving. The shev softens and curry thickens. Shevchi bhaji is ready. Serve hot

Do you take .800, .835, .900 or .950 Fine Silver Jewelry?
Yes! We will pay 100% spot, just like .999 Fine Silver.
Will you accept a piece that isn't marked?
We are willing to work with unmarked silver! Many antique Native American jewelry pieces are not stamped, but it's clear that they're made with high-quality coin silver. If you are a precious metals expert and can identify sterling silver by feel, touch or acid test, we'll accept your unmarked pieces. If you're unsure, contact us!
What if I send jewelry that is not silver?
We will offer to send it back to you. We would consider it as costume jewelry. If you are interested in selling it as costume jewelry we would offer $5 per pound.
What do you mean by wearable?
We are looking for new, used or antique jewelry that is functional, presentable and largely ready to wear. However, we will accept pieces that are scratched, tarnished, as well as bent ring shanks or easily fixable jewelry. We will make an offer of 87% of melt price on damaged items.
Do you accept duplicates?
We do, but prefer no more than 20 duplicates of any particular item. If rings, bracelets or necklaces are identical in design and size, we consider those duplicates. If pieces are the same style but different in size, we consider those distinct items. (This most often applies to store closeouts and similar liquidation sales.)
What are the maximum and minimum amounts you're willing to buy?
Generally, we'll buy up to $20,000 worth of wearable sterling silver jewelry without notice. If you're looking to sell a larger quantity, please call us to arrange and confirm a sale. There are no minimum requirements for a shipment.
How do we lock in spot price?

We'll gladly continue to accept your shipments as long as that trust is upheld.
Do we need to sort the jewelry before we ship?
While sorting is always helpful and makes the settling process quicker on our end, we can do the sorting for you! We will contact you with the breakdown of the lot before we settle the invoice.

Himachal Pradesh is fast emerging as the Fruit bowl of the country and the State Government is endeavouring to make horticulture sector as a major source of income for the horticulturalists of the State.
As of now, 2.18 lakh hectares area has been brought under fruit cultivation in the State. For diversification in horticulture, an additional area of 3729 hectare has been brought under different fruit crops during by distributing 45.08 lakh fruit plants during the period 2013-14. For production of quality planting material, 39 new nurseries have been registered and 10.39 lakh fruit plants have been produced at government nurseries. Infrastructure facilities at 60 Progeny Orchards and 13 Nurseries have been strengthened for improving their demonstration value and increasing production capacity.
To improve productivity, improved varieties and root stocks of Pome, stone and nut fruits are being imported from advanced countries and the horticulturalists and farmers are being trained for the purpose. For technological dissemination in horticulture, 74768 orchardists and farmers have been trained by organizing training camps and courses and 460 farmers were trained by organizing exposure visits during this period.
The government has also ensured necessary steps for integrated development of horticulture in the state. A sum of Rs. 42.89 crore has been spent under Horticulture Mission during 2013-14.
To promote protected cultivation, the State government has enhanced subsidy on green houses to 85% out of which 35% is being borne by the State Government. The subsidy on anti-hail nets has been enhanced to 80% out of which 30% is being borne by the State government. During this period, an area of 2.55 lakh square meters has been covered under green houses and 23.5 lakh square meters under anti-hail nets.
To enhance apple productivity, guidelines for Apple Rejuvenation Project have been simplified and 560 hectare area is being brought under this project. A fruit production level of 8.49 lakh MT has been achieved during year 2013-14. With a view to ensure remunerative prices of apple produce to the growers, 34229 MT 'C' grade apple fruit valued to Rs. 22.25 crore was procured under Market Intervention Scheme during the year 2013-14.
The Government is equally concerned about providing irrigation facilities to the fruit growers. Under National Mission on Micro-irrigation an amount of Rs. 3.00 Crore is being spent to promote micro-irrigation. The State Government has also increased subsidy to 80% for small and marginal farmers with 30% states share.
Similarly, to fight pests and other related diseases to fruit crops, an area of 110.0 hectare has been brought under bio-control so as to promote Integrated Pest Management. To combat incidence of pests/diseases in fruit crops, 496.0MT pesticides valued to Rs. 21.38 Crore involving subsidy of Rs. 6.85 Crore have been supplied to the horticulturalists and farmers.
The growth pattern in plan size for horticulture clearly indicates the determination of the State Government to strengthen the horticulture industry of the State. Against approved outlay of Rs.84.97 Crores, an expenditure of 124.64 Crore has been incurred for the development of horticulture during year 2013-14 under State plan schemes.

Twigg on form in Final Olympic Qualification Regatta semifinals
The 2016 FISA European Continental and Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland moved on to semifinals and repechages for day two of racing. Emma Twigg of New Zealand set the tone in her semifinal by leading from start to finish and showing fine form.
The weather saw calm water, cool temperatures and rain on the Rotsee regatta course.
Women's Single Sculls (W1x) - Semifinals
At the end of this regatta four women's single scullers would qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. These scullers were aiming to be in the top three places to go to tomorrow's final. In Semifinal One Emma Twigg of New Zealand used a high rating to get her nose in front with Sanita Puspure of Ireland holding onto her pace. Despite being the 2014 World Champion, Twigg was not shaking Puspure and the two scullers went through the middle of the race neck-and-neck. Then Twigg decided enough was enough, did a piece and left Puspure in the proverbial dust. Twigg came through in first rating a comfortable 33. Meanwhile, Puspure held on to second over Elza Gulbe of Latvia. In fourth place Russia's four-time Olympian, Julia Levina is out of the Olympics.
Denmark's Fie Udby Erichsen was the leading boat in Semifinal Two. Erichsen is the London Olympic silver medallist and then took time off after London to have a baby. She's been working on her form over the last couple of years and slowly building up to get to Rio. Erichsen led Ekaterina Karsten of Belarus through the middle of the race with Nataliya Dovgodko of Ukraine in third. Great Britain, in fourth, would have to put in a big effort to qualify. Erichsen came into the finish rating a comfortable 29 as Dovgodko took on Karsten. Karsten looked confident though and did enough to stay with Dovgodko.
Qualifiers: NZL, IRL, LAT, DEN, BLR, UKR
Men's Single Sculls (M1x) - Semifinals
After success in yesterday's heats it was not surprising to see Hannes Obreno of Belgium out in the lead of Semifinal One. But Obreno's lead was not large and going through the middle of the race Rhys Grant of Australia was keeping up along with Hungary and Russia. These margins remained close with Grant attacking Obreno and Andrey Potapkin of Russia going after Bendeguez Petervari-Molnar of Hungary. In a crazy fast sprint to the line both Grant and Potapkin hit 40 strokes per minute. There was nothing in it as Potapkin and Petervari-Molnar closed on Obreno and Grant. At the line Potapkin had missed out on going to the final by just half a second. His 2016 Olympic hopes had come to an end on the waters of the Rotsee.
On his home waters Markus Kessler of Switzerland gave it his all in Semifinal Two. Kessler was leading at the start before he got pushed into second by Sverri Nielsen of Denmark. Once in front Nielsen tried to push away and in the second half of the race he managed to do so. Going with Nielsen was Robert Ven of Finland and Philipp Syring of Germany. These three scullers formed a group that was able to push away from the rest of the field. Kessler missed his chance. The Swiss sculler rowed slowly back to his coach.
Qualifiers: BEL, HUN, AUS, DEN, FIN, GER
Lightweight Women's Double Sculls (LW2x) - Repechage
This repechage required a top for placing out of five boats to qualify for the final. All of these scullers competed yesterday in the heats and they return to race in these cool and wet Rotsee conditions today. At the start it was Cecilia Lilja and Emma Fredh of Sweden in the lead with Romania chasing hard. But there was nothing in it and at the half way point a mere two seconds separated the entire field. This Semifinal One was going to be decided on who had the second half endurance to hold it to the end. The margins remained close coming into the final sprint. Despite rating 37 Australia was not able to hold the pace of the rest of the crews. The Australians will not be going to the Rio Olympics.
Qualifiers: SWE, ITA, GRE, ROU
Lightweight Men's Double Sculls (LM2x) - Semifinals
Semifinal One opened with Spain in the lead. The Spanish crew of Adria Mitjavila and Rodrigo Conde Romero regularly have a fast start and today they would need that and more to be in the three qualifying spots. Coming into the middle of the race the 2012 Olympic Champions, Mads Rasmussen and Rasmus Quist of Denmark had pushed into the lead. Then 2012 Olympic finalists, Pedro Fraga and Nuno Mendes of Portugal used a high 38 stroke rate to establish themselves in third. Coming through to the end the top three leading crews looked in solid spots. But the Czech Republic and Hungary were desperately trying to get up there. It was to no avail. The leading crews all were rating in the high 30s and had secured their positions.
In Semifinal Two the very popular crew from Turkey, Huseyin Kandemir and Enes Kusku took an early lead ahead of Greece. Kandemir and Kusku still had the lead as they went through the half way point with Belgium and Greece going neck-and-neck and stroke-for-stroke. New Zealand and Ukraine were also on the pace, while Bulgaria was now too far back to attack. Margins closed as these boats pushed through the rain to get to the finish line as quick as possible. Turkey still had a slight lead with Belgium's Tim Brys and Niels Van Zandweghe attacking. Then New Zealand started to really open it up and they took their stroke rate to 41 to overtake Greece. Ukraine also went to 41 to attack the Kiwis. The New Zealanders were the stronger duo and took third while Belgium crossed just ahead of Turkey.
Qualifiers: DEN, ESP, POR, BEL, TUR, NZL
Women's Pair (W2-) - Repechages
Five boats lined up and two boats would go through to the final in each of the two repechages. Wits were on the line and a false start by Ivana Filipovic and Jovana Arsic of Serbia meant a delay in racing as all of the boats went back to line up again in Repechage One. As the rain got heavier the race took off for a second time with Poland's Anna and Maria Wierzbowska in the lead. Russia followed most closely with a virtual line forming between Chile, Serbia and Ukraine. Then the Wierzbowska sisters managed to get a slight edge. Had they gone out too hard? Could they maintain it? Rating 33-34 it looked like they could. Going through the middle of the race the positions looked all but decided with Poland and the Russian duo of Ekaterina Potapova and Maria Krasilnikova now pushing away from the rest of the crews.
Despite a last minute attempt by Serbia, Poland and Russia had enough of a gap to take the two qualifying spots.
Repechage Two got away quickly to try and make up the delayed time with Italy 's Alessandra Patelli and Sara Bertolasi taking the lead. The Italians held it right to the end with a clear water lead at the finish. Argentina's Maria Abalo and Zoe Fleischmann were in second for the entire race with Norway, in third, unable to catch them.
Qualifiers: POL, RUS, ITA, ARG
Men's Pair (M2-) - Semifinals
Semifinal One opened with Argentina's Rodrigo Murillo and Martin Lasserre in the lead, albeit only just over Germany and Russia. Then Georgij Efremenko and Ivan Podshivalov of Russia got their boat ahead of Argentina with Germany solidly in third. But now the European Champions, Hungary were coming fast. Adrian Juhasz and Bela Simon of Hungary had gotten off to a very slow start and were giving it their all to get into a qualifying position. Rating 43 Hungary was gaining with every stroke. Argentina hit 47 in a desperate attempt to hang in there with Russia looking a lot more relaxed on 35. Hungary finished first. The smiles on their faces were large. Surprisingly regulars in the pair, Germany missed out on moving on to the finals.
Jakub Podrazil and Lukas Helesic of the Czech Republic got away the quickest in Semifinal Two with Poland right on the pace. Then going through the half way point margins between the boats had closed up with less than three seconds separating the top four boats. Podrazil and Helesic continued to hold a small lead as Belarus moved into second and Poland held on to third. In the sprint to the line the Czechs remained in front and rating 38 as they had for most of the course. Poland came through right behind them at a 35 stroke rate pace and Belarus held on to third. Disappointment for Croatia with Olympic medallist, David Sain missing out on qualification.
Qualifiers: HUN, ARG, RUS, CZE, POL, BLR
Women's Double Sculls (W2x) - Repechage
The top two boats would get to go to the final meaning that three boats missed out. The Netherlands had the upper hand at the start with Lisa Scheenaard and Karien Robbers leading the way through to the half way point. Did they have the stamina to hold it to the end? Russia and Ukraine were following very closely. This is a great result so far for the Netherlands as they have had to substitute Robbers into the boat. In the last 300m the Dutch still had the lead. But then it all changed. Ukraine and Russia were flying and had closed the gap on the Netherlands.
Ratings were going up and up. The Dutch hit 41, Ukraine was on 39 and Russia on 37. By just 0.12 of a second Russia missed out on the final. Their 2016 Olympic dream ended today.
Qualifiers: UKR, NED
Men's Double Sculls (M2x) - Repechages
Two boats would get to go to the final in each of these two repechages. At the start of repechage one all boats got away together with the fast starting Spanish having a slight lead. Then Poland's Dawid Grabowski and Dominik Czaja got out in front to take the lead. They then moved right away from the rest of the field with the Czech Republic overtaking Spain to move into the second qualifying spot. These two crews were not challenged and neither had to sprint the finish.
Argentina had the lead at the start of Repechage Two. But margins were slight with the entire field remaining within striking distance. Argentina's Ariel Suarez and Cristian Rosso were still in the lead at the half way point with the United States' Stephen Whelpley and William Cowles now moving into second. But it was not over yet and Ukraine remained very much within striking distance. Argentina continued to lead. Rosso finished fourth in this boat class at the London Olympics and he kept his 2016 Olympic chances alive. Rating 39 Argentina crossed the line in first. United States, rating 40, held off Ukraine to also qualify.
Qualifiers: POL, CZE, ARG, USA
Men's Four (M4-) - Repechage
The top four boats would qualify for the final. One boat would miss out. At the start New Zealand had the lead with Spain then taking over after a piece at the 750m mark. The boat looking outside of qualification was the Czech Republic. Could they do something special to get into a qualifying spot? Serbia then did a push and got ahead of New Zealand. The Czech Republic had moved up. All five boats were in with a chance. As Spain got themselves back in the lead rating 39, the four remaining boats formed a line. This was going to be a photo finish. Two strokes before the line Argentina crabbed. Scrambling, they managed to get across the line. Serbia missed out by just over half a second.
Qualifiers: ESP, NZL, ARG, CZE
Lightweight Men's Four (LM4-) - Repechages
The two repechages required a top two finish to make it through to the final. In Repechage One Russia had the best start and they still had the lead going through the middle of the race. Russia then moved out to an open water lead with Poland in second but under threat from Serbia and Hungary. With Russia remaining in the lead in the final sprint a line of three boats formed behind them. Rating 42 a strong finish by Hungary gave them the qualifying spot. Serbia and Poland had missed out on qualifying.
Spain and Japan are both known as fast starters and these two crews led the way in Repechage Two. They remained in the qualifying spots going through the middle of the race with Austria and Indonesia still within striking distance. Coming through to the end these crews pushed through the rain with Indonesia remaining with a chance. Spain rated 36 coming through to the finish. Japan rated 38 and Indonesia gave it their all at 42. The Indonesians held it all together and still looked strong at the finish, but they had left the final sprint just a little too late.
Qualifiers: RUS, POL, ESP, JPN
Women's Quadruple Sculls (W4x) - Repechage
The top four boats would go through to the final and one boat would miss out. France was at the back of the field with 500m rowed with Romania at the front. But the margins were still tight and only two seconds separated the field. Then the Olympic Champions, Ukraine took the lead with Romania holding on to second. The pace of France now meant that barring disaster the top four boats had all but been decided. France at the half way point was down on fourth by open water. The top four crews kept the pressure on but did not have to go full out so they could save themselves for the finals.
But then France did the comeback of their lives. From four seconds down, France closed on Russia in fourth and these two boats had to sprint for the line. Russia got there first with France missing out on qualifying by one second.
Qualifiers: UKR, GBR, ROU, RUS
Men's Quadruple Sculls (M4x) - Repechage
Four of these five boats would qualify for the final. The United States only just missed out on qualifying yesterday in the heats by less than a second. Today they got out the fastest and remained at the head of the field through the middle of the race. But margins were minimal and less than three seconds separated the field. Coming into the final sprint Norway was in fifth but still was within striking distance of qualifying. Norway, however, did not have enough left to sprint. Instead it was a line between the top four crews. Italy, China and the United States were on 40 strokes per minute. Canada was with them on 39. Just half a second separated all of them at the line. The finishing order is below.
Qualifiers: CHN, USA, ITA, CAN

The Enphase Micro-inverter shifts DC to AC conversion from a large,
centralized inverter to a compact unit attached directly to each solar
module in the power system. Distributing the conversion process to each
module makes the entire solar power system more productive, reliable,
and smarter than traditional inverter systems.
Solar power production is affected by various factors such as module
mis-match, obstruction shading, inter-row shading, and obstacles such
as dust or debris. In addition, non-uniform changes in temperature,
irradiance, and shading create complex current-voltage curves, further
affecting energy harvest. This is due to the fact that in traditional
systems the performance of the entire system is dictated by the
performance of the weakest module.
The Enphase Energy Micro-inverter System solves solar power
challenges by performing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) at each
solar module. MPPT is an algorithm used to calculate and respond to
temperate and light changes detected on a solar power system, and to
determine how much power to draw from the module. A centralized
inverters MPPT algorithm sees the entire solar power system as a
single module, and responds to the lowest production numbers it detects.
The Enphase MPPT algorithm works at each solar module in an
installation and achieves greater than 99.6% accuracy which enables it
to maximize energy harvest at all times, even during variable light
conditions. Tests show systems using Enphase Micro-inverters increase
energy harvest by as much as 25% over systems using traditional
Traditional centralized inverters implementations create a single
point of failure for solar power systems. If the inverter fails, the
entire system is disabled. Enphase Micro-inverters convert power
independently at each solar module. If one micro-inverter fails, the
rest continue to operate as usual. Also, if a micro-inverter is damaged
or fails, it can be replaced during routine maintenance or when
convenient, further reducing maintenance costs.
With the Enphase Micro-inverter System, installers are no longer
limited by string design, marginal designs, co-planarity, and matched
modules. The space, heat, and noise associated with a large inverter
are eliminated. Micro-inverter systems improve mechanical integration,
reduce wiring time, and remove the need for DC switching points.
Another benefit of the distributed Micro-inverter design is the
potential for installations to be expanded over time. An initial set of
solar modules can be installed and additional modules added as needs
and budgets grow without requiring the replacement of a large
centralized inverter.
The Enphase Micro-inverter is CSA Listed per UL1741 and can
withstand surges of up to 6kV. Enphase Micro-inverter systems undergo
rigorous testing including HALT and HASS, ensuring reliability.
Independent testing by Relex a leading third party reliability expert
has shown an estimated Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 119 years
for Enphase Micro-inverters.
Works wiht 150 to 210 watt Solar Modules
M190 microinverter is compatible with a wide range of 60 and 72 cell
modules up to 235 watts STC, including SOLON, Sharp and SunWize.
M210 microinverter is designed to be compatible with the 72 cell SANYO
N-Series high efficiency module (HIP-200NKHA5, HIP-205NKHA5,
HIP-210NKHA5, HIP-215NKHA5). The M210 in combination with a SANYO
N-Series module constitutes the current state-of-the-art in energy
production. The Enphase Energy Microinverter System not only improves
energy harvest, but also increases system reliability and simplifies
design, installation and management of PV systems.

In this file photo, policemen stand guard outside Delhi High Court. (Photo: Reuters/Adnan Abidi)
New Delhi: The police are merely a law enforcing agency having nothing to do with the constitutional validity of any statutory provision, the city police has told the Delhi High Court hearing a PIL seeking decriminalisation of beef consumption in the national capital.
The Delhi Agricultural Cattle Preservation Act provisions prohibit slaughter, transport or export and consumption of cattle meat and beef and provide punishment for a term which may extend to five years and fine up to Rs 10,000.
"We (Delhi Police) are a law enforcing agency and we do not deal with the constitutionality of the provision under challenge before this court," the counsel for the police told a bench headed by Chief Justice G Rohini while responding to the plea seeking decriminalisation of beef consumption in New Delhi.
The court was hearing the plea by a law student and an NGO seeking setting aside of the provisions of the Delhi Act which criminalise possession and consumption of beef.
Meanwhile, the Delhi government has sought time to respond to the plea by May 8, the next date of hearing.
The plea claimed that the provisions of the Act were "a case of legislative over-reach".
It has contended that "prohibition on possession and consumption of beef per se as under the Act is in violation of the fundamental rights of the petitioners and other similarly situated persons, as it infringes on their personal liberty" and causes "hostile discrimination having no nexus with the objects of the Act".
"The right to eat the food of one's choice is an integral part of the Right to Life and Liberty," the PIL said, adding that the Constitution "mandates the state not to make law towards enforcement of a particular religious practice".
The petitioners have also claimed that the Act was a "gross encroachment on the rights of the petitioners to choose what they can eat".
It said the Scheduled Sastes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) "often have diet containing meats" and contended that "these communities are directly affected by enforcement of the Act".

He was originally part of the Soviet lunar program and was training with Aleksei Leonov for the first manned circumlunar flight. After the success of Apollo 8, however, the flight was cancelled. His first spaceflight was Soyuz 12 in 1973, a test flight to check the changes made to the Soyuz spacecraft after the Soyuz 11 disaster. His second flight was the abortive Soyuz 18a that made an emergency landing in the Altay Mountains, 21 minutes after launch. With his third launch on Soyuz 27 he flew to space station Salyut 6 and landed five days later with the Soyuz 26 spacecraft. His last mission was Soyuz T-3, during which several repairs on Salyut 6 were done. He also served on the backup crews for Soyuz 17 and Soyuz T-2. Altogether he spent 20 days, 17 hours, and 44 minutes in space.

by Hazel Hutchins
About a decade ago, I participated in a children's book workshop in Canmore with Canadian author Hazel Hutchins.
I purchased one of her books, Two So Small, which she'd used as one of the examples in the workshop. The book has the flavour of a Folk Tale with surprises sprinkled throughout as well as sweet ending.
Here is the description from an online bookstore:
A gentle story about a brave little boy and his goat who, after many wrong turns, meet a baby giant in need of their help. In order to fully capture the size of the giants, Two So Small features an extra-large fold-out picture at the story's end.
It became one of those books which I read over and over again to my young child. And it is one of the books which will remain on my bookshelf to read with grandchildren.
Happy Reading!

How to make Linux's desktop look good on high-resolution displaysApr 20, 2015, 08:00 (1 Talkback[s])
Ultra-high-resolution displays with high pixel densities are all the rage now, and for good reason: They look amazing compared to conventional displays. The big problem for PC users is that a lot of software isn't designed with that level of pixel density in mind.
If you're running GNOME 3 in Linux, your first boot will have you looking for your reading glasses.

Ephesians 3:14-19
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,[a]15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
In the introduction to what has become a favorite devotional book (Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young), she talks about walking around outside, where the sunlight was hot enough to sunbathe, but the snow was so deep that the sun couldn't melt it. It immediately made me think about our faith, and when it is deep enough, the heat of the battle cannot dissolve that faith. A thin layer of faith can be disturbed, but not a deep faith.
We need continually abiding faith so Christ's Spirit can truly dwell (remain) in our hearts (the seat of our thoughts, will and emotions). We need to be "rooted and grounded" in His love, not only in the intelligent understanding of what God's love for us and in us is, but in the experience of His love flowing through us toward others. So many people think that God loves us just so we will feel loved, but we are missing the point that God loves everyone, and when He pours His love into us, it is not meant to be hoarded or welled up, but poured out lavishly on others. That's hard for us when all we really are considered about 99% of the time is getting what we want.
I pray that you truly will experience how all encompassing God's love can be if you let Him love you instead of pushing Him away in your hopelessness or despair. I pray that you will experience His glory-filled strength which is perfected in us when we acknowledge that we are weak and we need Him to do all the things we cannot do for ourselves. I pray that you will truly be filled with God's Holy Spirit, in every nook and cranny, and that you will willingly submit to what the Spirit speaks to you and wants for your life, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Last week was a special week. It was both my Dad and sister's birthdays. When I began travelling in December I only intended to backpack around Southeast Asia for 6 months. So with a return ticket that was soon running out, I decided I didn't want to waste it.
I've since come back to Vietnam to continue my travels. In fact, as I write I'm sitting on the rooftop of my new apartment in Hanoi. It's a scorching 40 degrees out here and I'm getting absolutely baked! It's so hot that the air-con inside doesn't work, and the fan is just blowing around hot air – making it even more unbearable to stay indoors. So it looks like I'll just have to get used to this heat and make the most out of sunbathing.
Back to England
Anyway back to my birthday surprise visit in England… after stepping off the plane in Birmingham Airport, I was greeted by one of my high school best friends, Serena. She was in on the surprise and had kindly offered to pick me up from the airport.
As we left the arrivals I'd never felt so appreciative of the air in England. No dusty roads and no air pollution. I closed my eyes, breathed in the fresh, clean air and listened to the none existent sound of motorbike horns honking.
The surprise
So we drove back to my parents home, and after
We rang the bell. My mom answered the door to Serena – I quickly jumped up from around the corner screaming "SURPRISE".
The whole family were in shock. My Mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, I'd like to say my nephew Neel was as well, but he was too busy watching videos of himself on the laptop. (It's a strange thing he likes to do, I'll explain it in a later post).
The whole surprise video was recorded… but somehow when I went to update my iPhone it got deleted. It's a shame because the looks on my families faces were just priceless!
Despite the lack of video here are a few photos that didn't get deleted or destroyed from my phone. To my family: thank you for a fun week at home. It was great to see those shocked and surprised faces when I walked through the door. Don't miss me too much, it'll be Christmas before you know it and I'll be back for the holidays!
Now I'm off to take an ice cold shower to cool down.
Ciao for now,
Current location: Sweating and blogging away from my rooftop balcony.

When she arrived she handed me a packet of fun papers, images, colors, fabrics, all to start my own little project with (can you tell why I love her?!) and I seriously could not wait to shuffle through the stack and get started.
|my gift of inspirational items
When she came over I had asked her to bring some of her journals/ art books...and I could have spent hours just looking at each thought out tiny detail and color choice. I knew that I needed to start one of these as well. If you know me well you know that I have been a creative journaler since I was in high school...so to stumble upon someone with such similar interests or ways of expressing themselves felt rare and exciting. I started a new journal today. This one is more an exercise in creativity and composition than purely expressing my feelings-but I know that will be in there as well. So here are a few shots of the first pages....it was delicious to be starting something so new and old at the same time. I cannot wait to see where this goes. (and sometime I will have to show you Isabelle and Judah's journals they started today....Isabelle's was especially amazing!!!)
Do any of you journal or have art books? I would really enjoy seeing snippets of them or having tips from you on what you do in yours.

Here's what they're doing, what all these get rich quick commercial scams do and have been doing forever, they tell you money back guarantee if it doesn't work for you or don't like it no questions ask and they give you 60 days or whatever amount of days to return it, because they know most people forget, have other things on their mind and most likely will try to return the product too late after the money back guarantee period. And it seems from reading the complaints that no no takes it a step further by telling you when u call to return it that u can't until you've tried it for 45 days, so they're really stacking the odds in their favor by only giving you 15 days to ask for a refund, they know that most likely you'll call too late....
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Location: Los Angeles, California
I want my money I don't like it
I paid full price when I place my order on March 3rd and I still have not received my nono I ordered I called and got the runaround saying that they don't have my name or anything how in the world don't they have my name you pay in full I guess they just take your money and you don't get the product. this makes me mad so I lose over 200.00 to them almost 300.00I will never do this again Never thanks anyway
Barbara Burham
I'm not sure where you live, but I'd call your credit card and appeal the charge if you experience anything like this future. I use credit vs debit for all telephone purchasesv for this exact reason.
Your reason will be that the product want delivered.
For those that want to return it and Customer service is refusing refund. Box up your paperweight (No!No!) along with a written explanation of why you're returning it for a refund. Take pictures of your box, letter, NONO, and mail it back to them insured along with tracking number.
Once you can see it was delivered, print off verification and call your credit card company to dispute because the product delivered was not the what you were left to believe. Keep you pics as evidence that you've returned it in case you need them and you will get your money back minus shipping costs.
I am so glad I read these reviews because I was planning on buying one. Thanks to all of you who gave me "a heads up!" I feel for you though.
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in and we appreciate your feedback.
Our commitment to our customers is to provide them with a quality product to use for a full 60 days in order achieve professional hair removal results in the privacy of their own home. no!no!
is backed by our 60 day triple guarantee that begins the day you receive your package. Our triple guarantee means that if you have tried using no!no! for at least 45 days & no more than 60 days, and you are not satisfied, we will refund the full product price, shipping and handling charges and we will cover the costs for you to return your no!no!. If you choose to return before you've used the unit for at least 45 days then we will still gladly refund your product price but the cost of postage to return is your responsibility.
We hope this helps.
Best Regards,
no!no! Customer Service
That doesn't address there concern at all. They said they never received it and you come back with a skit.
Why not address there problem head on instead of reading a script from your computer or there on your desk. I know they give you things to say but man up and address the dang problem!
i am still awaiting return details and have noticed you've taken another payment!! The no no has burned mine and my daughters skin like we'd cut ourselves I'm not paying £280 for something that harms us!!!!

Accident Research Institute (ARI), formerly known as Accident Research Centre (ARC), is the pioneer road accident research institute in Bangladesh. This is the only national institute for collecting, storing and doing scientific research about the road accidents in Bangladesh. It conducts accident investigation and reconstruction, road safety audit, seminars, workshops and training's on road safety for professionals. It also collaborates with different government and non-government agencies and provides advisory services regarding road safety issues.
Establishment of ARI/Background of ARI
The Honorable Prime Minister of the People's Republic of Bangladesh in her first address to the nation declared to establish an Accident Research Centre in mitigating the accident problem in the country. In a meeting regarding the Honorable Prime Minister's 100 days programs a decision was made to establish an Accident Research Centre at BUET. The Proposed Accident research started its activities from January 2002. At its inception activities were managed at the Traffic Engineering and Safety Research Centre of transportation and Traffic Engineering Division of the Civil Engineering Department, BUET. Later on the center sifted to its own full-fledged 4-storied building sides the Department of Urban and Regional Planning (URP), BUET. After nearly six years of launching, the Accident Research Institute (ARI) has been established by the Syndicate of BUET in its 418th meeting held on 12 January 2008 following the recommendation of the Finance Committee on 08/01/2008 (Office Order No- Songstha/E-30/Re-3806, Dated- 29/01/2008) by converting the erstwhile Accident Research Centre (ARC)
The institute has given the mandated function to carry out scientific research and investigation to ascertain the causes of accidents on roads, railways and waterways in Bangladesh. It has also given the mandated function to create awareness for safety issues at different stages of community across the country and share acquired knowledge with the professionals at different levels to ensure safer transportation system. In order to achieve the above, there are two divisions in the institute: (i) Research and Investigation, and (ii) Education and Training.
