There are many people who use Apache Maven or Ant for years but do no use a repository manager like Nexus or Artifactory. Maybe initial step is something everyone need to overcome.This article describes how you can setup and get running your Nexus – an Artifact Repository Manager. Let's begin with short motivation
In my last article i introduced basic maven concepts, even when dependency management was not covered explicitly it is still one of the greatest thing maven introduced to the java eco-system. Most of maven builds produces artifacts also projects do depend on another artifacts (e.g java jar files) in different versions and configurations. It's all about managing the artifacts. Therefore every maven installation already brings a repository that may be sufficient for single developer or small team. But the more professional your software development is the more reason is present professional artifact repository. Long story short the reasons are…
- More control (Releases, Dependencies, Audits)
- Predictability and Scalability
- Speeding up of Builds
- Saving Bandtwidth
- 3dt party artifact flexiblity
- Intra/inter organisational colaboration and distribution of work
If interested read more details.
Installation & Configuration
First of all it good practice to thing about low level things like, hardware, bandwidth, operating system and backup strategy… but i don't cover it here. Following describes the installation of nexus on Debian Linux (Wheezy release). So let's start…
One Pre Requirement is installed Java (JRE) 5 or higher.
# Start by creating new user and group, you will prompted do add additional info. adduser nexus #change to work dir cd /tmp #Then download fresh version of nexus. In my case v2.1.2 wget www.sonatype.org/downloads/nexus-2.1.2-bundle.tar.gz #Create nexis basedir and change to it mkdir /usr/lib/nexus-oss cd /usr/lib/nexus-oss/ #Extract nexus-2.1.2 omly directory from archive. No need of extracting working dir. tar xzvf /tmp/nexus-2.1.2-bundle.tar.gz nexus-2.1.2/ # Creating new symlink to avoit version in path. ln -s nexus-2.1.2/ nexus
Now basic's are done. But do not start Nexus now…
I don't wannt to create "big" artifact repository (or nexus's working dir) in the same default place…
Also i' wann't to register the inid.d script to be able to control the nexus server an start it automatically. Last but not least i have to provide some configuration for example a "run as" Linux user for Nexus.
Let's assume the repository should be in directory:
then to the following:
mkdir /srv/nexus/main-repo #Set owner user and group chown nexus:nexus /srv/nexus/main-repo
Now open
/usr/lib/nexus-oss/nexus-2.1.2/conf/nexus.properties file and change
nexus-work property to:
Now we are ready to register the provided init.d script that will allow us to run nexus as a Linux daemon.
# copy init.d sctipt to proper place cp /usr/lib/nexus-oss/nexus/bin/nexus /etc/init.d/nexus #replace default location sed -i "s/NEXUS_HOME=".."/NEXUS_HOME="/usr/lib/nexus-oss/nexus"/g" /etc/init.d/nexus #Set PID dir sed -i "s/#PIDDIR="."/PIDDIR="/var/run"/g" /etc/init.d/nexus #Set RUN_AS user to nexus sed -i "s/#RUN_AS_USER=/RUN_AS_USER=nexus/g" /etc/init.d/nexus #now register the new script update-rc.d nexus defaults
In case of troubles or for different Linux distributions look here
Congratulation! Now you'r Nexus installation is available on
http://localhost:8081/nexus/. The default user and password are
"admin" and "admin123".
Basic configuration of the maven clients
Login as admin, locate predefined repositories. All repositories of type "proxy" need to change "Download Remote Indexes" property to true in the configuration tab.
As you see there are several types of repositories.
- proxy – acts as proxy for external repository.
- hosted – repository that managed artifact produced by you
- virtual – kind of adapter for e.g transforming maven1 to maven 2 format.
- group – maybe not a repository in sonatyp's terminology but behaves like one. A group groups several repositories to one exposing result as single URI.
<mirrors> <mirror> <id>nexus</id> <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf> <url>http://YOR_NEXUS_HOST:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url> </mirror> </mirrors>
Then we use a power of Maven Profiles and define new repositories they are magically (consider "*" in the mirror declaration) maps to the mirror.
<profile> <id>nexus</id> <!--all requests to nexus via the mirror --> <repositories> <repository> <id>central</id> <url>http://central</url> <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases> <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots> </repository> </repositories> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>central</id> <url>http://central</url> <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases> <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> </profile>
Do not forgete to activate thins new profile
<activeProfiles> <activeProfile>nexus</activeProfile> </activeProfiles>
Now your maven client knows only your nexus and everything it needs and how it gets it, should be controlled by nexus.
Look here for more client configuration details.

Women's Fund Fall Luncheon
Women's Fund Fall Luncheon Features Advice for Navigating a Successful Career
Sept. 19, 2011 - Wall Street veteran Carla Harris, one of the most successful and respected women in business today, will share her strategies for thriving in the workplace at the Women's Fund of Omaha's 11th Annual Fall Luncheon on October 27.
Early in her career, Harris promised herself that when she made it to the top of the corporate ladder and others came to her for advice, she would provide them with her personal tools for reaching full potential. Harris will share some of these "pearls" of knowledge and wisdom as she talks about the distinctions between mentors, sponsors and advisers; the importance of having a penchant for taking risks; the power of networks and more.
Managing director at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Harris was recently named to Fortune Magazine's list of "The 50 Most Powerful Black Executives in Corporate America." She is author of the book, "Expect to Win." Luncheon attendees will receive an autographed copy of the book.
Emcee is Lincoln comedian T. Marni Vos.
As is tradition at the luncheon, grants will be presented to local nonprofit agencies for programs targeting what Women's Fund research has identified as the most critical needs for local women and girls. This year, $133,000 will be awarded to more than a dozen agencies. Additionally, one woman will receive keys to a refurbished 2005 Dodge Caravan mini-van under the Recycled Rides program. Nonprofit agencies nominated clients for the program, and the recipient was selected by a Women's Fund committee.
The luncheon takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Ramada Plaza Hotel,
3321 South 72nd St. Ticket prices are: individual, $75; individual corporate, $150; corporate table (10 seats), $1,500. To order tickets, visit www.omahawomensfund.org or call 402.827.9280.
The Women's Fund of Omaha examines issues and conducts research to provide informed support for initiatives that improve the lives of metropolitan area women and girls. Since 1990, the nonprofit agency has invested nearly $3 million in grants and projects focused on the most pressing needs of this population.

Here's a story that almost turned into recovery instead of rescue. Sent in by Steve after my request for Real Life Survival Success Stories. This definitely meets the criteria for a survival story. After reading the article, prepping vs. survival comes to mind. Read the entire article below my comments.
I have never been in this situation. This story offers many "what were you thinking" moments. So I'll proceed with my analysis from the comfort of my keyboard. Hopefully shedding some light on the "shoulda, coulda, woulda" to keep you found and not lost for three weeks.
Main lessons to take from Mr. LaFever's ordeal:
1.) Always leave a detailed itinerary with at least one or two trusted friends about your plans for your trip. Even on "short" day hikes. These are trips that get so many outdoor enthusiast in trouble.
I'm guilty of this recently. Dirt Road Girl and I road bikes on a long stretch of beach and trough some trails on vacation. On the deserted beach, the sky turned gray and threatening. We took the first chance to exit and get back to the main bike path. I had my survival kit in my fanny pack. In my haste and stupidity, I'd forgotten to pack any rain ponchos or garbage bags to protect from exposure. I wanted to pack "light" and I was on vacation…and so was my preparedness mindset.
The heavens opened and began to dump horizontal rain three miles from shelter. My main worry was not for me, but for DRG. Her strength was okay even on the cancer drugs and she wanted to ride bikes. Being exposed to the rain and wind for three miles was only going drain her batteries. Riding on an island with relatively flat terrain turned into a potentially dangerous situation considering our circumstances. Regulating exposure (hypothermia and hyperthermia) is the key to surviving emergency situations. Something I had failed to prepare for. Fortunately, we got our soaking, chilled bodies back with only a few shivers from DRG. Prolonged exposure could have turned out to be a very different outcome.
This was a little more than a day hike for our pilgrim…and he was alone. Fortunately, his dad knew the general location of his son and was able to relay that to the rescue team.
Your plan should include at least these three W's:
- Where and when you're headed out. Including a map of the trails and area would be very useful in affecting a rescue if necessary.
- When you plan on returning. Not much good if your family knows where you are if they don't know when to expect your return. If they think you are camping for a week, when you really only planned on being gone two days, the extra five days could leave you bloated and dead in the wilderness.
- Who and how many are in your group. Are there any special needs in the group (age, special needs, health conditions, male/female, etc.). If rescuers are tracking you or your group, this info would be very valuable.
2.) Swallow your pride and live to try again. At one point, the son called his dad to say to ask for money.
LaFever said he had run out of money and someone had stolen some of his hiking gear. Authorities said they assumed he was given a ride to Boulder, as he did not have his own vehicle.
"He didn't want me to come out there," said LaFever's father, John LaFever. "He wanted me to send him some money to get him to Page."
The wise move after someone had stolen his gear and he had daddy on the phone would have been to accept the money and fly or ride home. His decision to go-it-alone almost cost him his life.
"He made the mistake 'I know what I am doing and I will be OK,"' Bronson told CNN. "There are many who have done that and paid the price."
3.) Practice with a safety net. William was found about 30 miles further along the river than most casual hikers traveled. Even though he had camping/hiking experience, this was not the time to attempt this long journey with nothing but his clothes on his back and a lighter in his pocket. To his credit, he survived by foraging and possessing one of the two most important pieces of survival gear – FIRE. Even without the other item (knife), fire helped keep him alive.
Even if you are not a smoker, it is always essential to keep a fire starting device in your everyday carry stuff.
4.) The devil is in the details. One of the factors that helped lead rescuers to him was knowing details about his particular condition. Referring back to the "Who" in my first point, family members described him as having autism. While that might seem trivial to most, it turned out to be very helpful in locating the lost hiker. Autism sufferers seem to be drawn to water. Armed with that knowledge, searchers focused on following the river. It paid off. LeFevor had not strayed from the watery path he was following.
Here's the real life story of LeFevor's brush with room temperature. Learn from his mistakes and stay alive!
Doing the stuff,
Utah rescuers find emaciated hiker after month long ordeal
- Man survives more than three weeks in remote Utah desert
- Helicopter pilot, deputy rescued him in river gulch
- Hiker had eaten roots, frogs to stay alive
- According to family, survivor has autism
(CNN) — Too weak to stand or walk, William M. LaFever sat in a shallow river bed in the south Utah desert, awaiting rescue that came more than a month after his family last heard from him.
Thursday afternoon, a helicopter flying in the Escalante River gorge spied the bearded LaFever, 28, who had lost 50 pounds and eaten frogs and roots in his desperate effort to stay alive during his walk from a Utah city to Page, Arizona.
"We came around the corner and we were pretty amazed to see him alive and sitting up," Shane Oldfield, a Utah Highway Patrol helicopter pilot assisting the Garfield County Sheriff's Office, told CNN Friday.
LaFever was hospitalized Friday in St. George, Utah, in stable condition. Family members told a deputy that he has autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder, said Becki Bronson, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.
The Colorado Springs, Colorado, man's incredible odyssey began when he called his father on June 6 or 7 to tell him he was in Boulder, Utah, hiking with his dog, according to the sheriff's office.
LaFever said he had run out of money and someone had stolen some of his hiking gear. Authorities said they assumed he was given a ride to Boulder, as he did not have his own vehicle.
"He didn't want me to come out there," said LaFever's father, John LaFever. "He wanted me to send him some money to get him to Page."
The elder LaFever said he wasn't sure how William would make it all the way to Page, but his son mentioned following the river.
Within a week of his call home, William got a ride to where Highway 12 crosses the river, and set out on his journey.
The younger LaFever apparently did not know the extent of the rigors he would face when he planned to walk nearly 50 miles in the Escalante Desert to Lake Powell and then obtain a boat ride, officials said.
Eventually, LaFever's food and strength ran out as he continued walking, according to authorities, and his dog ran off. Officials were looking into a report that the animal may have been located, Bronson told CNN.
With her brother long overdue, LaFever's sister called authorities Monday, seeking help and providing information on where he might be.
Garfield County Deputy Ray Gardner accompanied Oldfield on the flight and told him he had learned in recent training that people with autism often are drawn to water.
Oldfield said the hiker had apparently followed the river as he walked south and had been in the location where they found him for several days, sapped of almost all his strength. LaFever was only a few miles away from Lake Powell.
"I think he probably hiked as far as he could until he was physically exhausted and he went into survival mode," the pilot said.
LaFever had no compass and had discarded or lost his hiking gear.
All he had were his pants, shoes, underwear, shirt and a lighter.
He used the lighter to set a small fire at night, officials said, and then would roll into the river to stay cool and drink water.
LaFever weakly waved when Gardner and Oldfield spotted him from the air.
After their landing, the pair approached the emaciated man, not certain of his identity. Initially, LaFever did not want to get into the helicopter.
"He was asking us for food but it was not like he was shoveling it down. He was casually eating a granola bar as he was talking to the deputy," said Oldfield.
In a statement, Gardner said he had not been expecting a good outcome.
"We had no idea if William had stayed along the river, or decided to leave, or got a ride with someone, or was lost somewhere other than along the river," he said. "We flew along it without any expectation of finding anything at all. The conditions would have to be just right too; unless he was out in the open there was no way we would be able to find him."
Gardner, praised by LaFever's family for his work on the case, did not immediately return a message left Friday by CNN.
William LaFever was in an area popular with hikers, but was about 30 miles beyond where most venture, Oldfield said.
"He made the mistake 'I know what I am doing and I will be OK,"' Bronson told CNN. "There are many who have done that and paid the price."
John LaFever said his son "has done a lot of camping but he has always been close enough to where he could walk to people and get a grocery store. It has never been at this capacity."
William LaFever, who is on disability, will be hospitalized indefinitely as he regains his strength.
"I am just overwhelmed," said his father. "I was really hoping he was alive. The chances of him being found alive were one in a million, maybe."

Chess and Soccer
Chess grandmaster Jan Gustafsson at ISC
ISC'12 attendees can look forward to a special chess treat at ISC, starting at 3 - 6 pm, on Tuesday, June 19. German chess grandmaster Jan Gustafsson, who is also the current European-team champion, will play 8 simultaneous games in the exhibition hall (Hall H).
In this unique event, his opponents will be supported by the world's best chess program - Houdini. Houdini is a chess engine that combines outstanding positional evaluation with the most sophisticated search algorithm. Every second move of Houdini will be sent to the opponents' mobile phones, thanks to a software developed by the Hamburg-based software firm, cisha.
As chess computers stand head and shoulders above the world's best chess players, Gustafsson will not stand a chance - particularly in simultaneous games! On the other hand, playing against 8 amateur players is an "easy pick" for a grandmaster. A combination of players and chess program will create a healthy balance and a real battle for Gustafsson.
These games will be streamed live.
Are you interested in playing? You can apply for one of the player slots by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Players with FIDE rating numbers may want to provide their current rating.
ISC'12 catches the European Football Championship fever
This year, ISC'12 coincides perfectly with the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2012). Whether you call it Football, Fussball, Soccer or Futbol, the games are an exciting event and to let our participants root for their favorites, we will set up soccer lounges in the exhibition hall (booths #110, 710). However instead of kicking, you'll get to play table soccer.

And I've been wondering, is it only me or you guys also can't save two different families(which I created)in one town file too?If you can, how?
Can anyone name me rich, teen-young adult neighbor sim? Woman/man .
Are you Tamara Donner???
Also you can save two different families in one town file. It took me several hours to figure it out. Instead of going to "Main Menu", go to Edit Town. It allows you to create families there, that way the families you create are in one town.
Hope that helps!!!
Warning: Will get rid of all your wishes.
Yeah. When you enter Edit mode, create a new sim. then when you want to play them, just go switch active household.
You not only loose your wishes, you also have a very high risk (~80%) of loosing your sims personal inventories and usually loose all fridge contents.
In sad situations whole sims or sim families not currently played may get deleted by the game, too, because of memory balancing reasons, so playing more than one family in one town is currently not recommendable. We're all hoping to see a Patch to make playing more than one family enjoyable, which it currently is not.

Acer shows 8.1-inch Iconia W3 Windows tablet, 5.7-inch Liquid S1
updated 07:18 am EDT, Mon June 3, 2013
Iconia W3 first tablet to use relaxed Microsoft Windows 8 requirements
Acer has used Computex to reveal a new Windows 8 tablet and an Android smartphone. The previously leaked Iconia W3 is the first in the world to take advantage of Microsoft's relaxed Windows 8 tablet requirements by using an 8.1-inch display, while the Liquid S1 continues the Liquid range of mobile phones and is the first "phablet" from the company.
The Windows 8-based Iconia W3 offers a 1280x800-resolution display, and is powered by an Intel Atom Z2760 Clover Trail processor. Weighing in at 1.1 pounds, the 0.45-inch thick device includes a choice of 32GB or 64GB of storage with an optional microSD extension, and can connect over Wi-Fi, micro-USB, and micro-HDMI. It also has a claimed 8-hour battery life, front and rear 2-megapixel webcams, and has an optional keyboard dock that dwarfs the tablet and provides a similar sized keyboard to ones found on a 13.3-inch notebook. It is also bundled with a free copy of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013.
Running on Android Jelly Bean, the Liquid S1 offers a large 5.7-inch display running at 1280x720. Inside is a quad-core 1.5GHz processor with 1GB of RAM and an expandable 8GB internal storage. On the back is an 8-megapixel camera while the unrated front-facing version has a 24mm wide-angle lens, DTS StudioSound provides the audio processing, and its 2,400mAh battery is claimed to last an entire day. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity is supplemented by 3G access, though unfortunately no LTE. Software-wise, it has access to AcerCloud Docs cloud storage, wireless display and printing, and floating notifications and apps that overlay other already-running applications.
Acer is shipping the Iconia W3 later this month in the US and Europe for around $379 without the keyboard dock, with pre-sales starting tomorrow. The Liquid S1 will be shipping in the third quarter in Europe, starting from 349 euro ($454), but a US release is unlikely.

Test de personalitate
Mi-am făcut în dimineaţa asta un test de personalitate. Tot era gratuit şi am zis, de ce nu? Oricum nu mi-a venit diploma de la ei şi am intrat pe site să văd ce-i cu ea.
Testul e moca, pe brainbench.com şi rezultatele îţi sunt oferite imediat după ce termini testul. Întrebările testului (la fel şi rezultatele şi siteul) sunt în limba engleză şi nu e genul de test cu care să te chinui. Evident trebuie să fi sincer cu tine şi să te aştepţi ca rezultatele să ţi se potrivească. Mie mi s-au potrivit şi m-am gândit să le şi public pe blog. Aşa mai vede omul cam cum sunt eu.
Dacă eşti curios/curioasă, poţi da click pe titlu să citeşti mai departe.
Rezultatele sunt şi prezentate grafic şi graficul meu arată cam aşa:
Şi interpretarea imaginii precum şi a testului este următoarea:
Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS Extraverted You are slightly extraverted. It's so nice to be you. You are comfortable being the center of attention, and you are just as comfortable sitting back and letting others take the spotlight. Your warm and friendly personality allows you to take a leadership role – that is, if you want it. In general, you do not mind public speaking, but sometimes you have to be in the proper frame of mind to feel at ease when making a presentation. When you believe in something, you do not hesitate to state your mind. People enjoy when you do this, because you have a cheerful way about you. At times, you seek thrills, and adventure, but a night home relaxing is just as fun for you. Your Agreeableness: Candid VS Considerate You are very considerate. You are a popular person, aren't you? Of course you are. You truly value harmony in dealing with others. People recognize your friendly, generous, and helpful personality. Your easy-going, agreeable nature makes you such a joy to be around. This is especially true in meetings or general conversations. The topic may become heated, but you are considerate of other's feelings and you will find a happy medium in order to placate those around you. This is because you have an optimistic view of human nature and you realize that if you trust people with their decisions that they are not trying to hurt you or take advantage of you. This special and rare quality is also seen in your altruism. You enjoy helping others. To you it is not a sacrifice; to you it is fulfilling to help others in need. Your Self-Control: Impulsive VS Cautious You are very impulsive. You are an independent thinker. You do not need a book of rules to tell you how to behave – you know inside what is right and what is wrong and you act accordingly. You are able to live life spontaneously, because you are able to make decisions without endless deliberation. In fact, when you and another person are making a decision, you are able to reach a solution fairly quickly while the other person has to cautiously plan every step. Eventually, they will agree with you, which is frustrating when your first impulse is usually the correct one in the decision-making process. You tend to be a little more casual, and you do not feel out of sorts when your home or office is not perfectly neat. In general, your life is pleasurable – you know how to have fun and will never be accused of being staid or stuffy. Your Anxiety Level: Excitable VS Relaxed You are moderately excitable. In trying situations, you feel somewhat stressed and frustrated. At times you are able to overcome these feelings, but other times you feel overwhelmed. This could run the gamut of just being in a bad mood to experiencing anxiety, anger, or depression. In general, you prefer a stress-free existence, so that the possibility of negative emotions would not be a factor. You tend to be somewhat self-conscious in social situations, and are worried that people may judge or criticize you. You may react emotionally to people or circumstances that you find threatening, because you want to protect yourself. Every so often you cave into urges or cravings. Sometimes you feel a little guilty about it, other times you are just fine with your fun streak. Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative You are moderately practical. You tend to be more comfortable when your daily activities are familiar and unchanging, rather than constantly in a state of flux. You prefer to deal with facts and not ideas. You prefer to be more practical and pragmatic, but you are able to be creative when the situation calls for it. You prefer the conversation or situation to be more straightforward. Emotionally, you are more conservative and tend not to express your feelings openly. You have a proper demeanor, which summons respect from those around you. The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract You are very abstract in your thinking. You tend to be quick to grasp ideas, are a fast learner and intelligent. You possess a hallmark of intelligence that potentially separates human beings from earlier life forms, the ability to think about future consequences before acting on an impulse. Your reasoning activity involves contemplation of long-range goals, organizing and planning routes to these goals, and persisting toward one's goals in the face of short-lived impulses to the contrary. You also have keen interests in intellectual matters and love to play with ideas and think theoretically. You tend to be open-minded to new and unusual ideas, and like to debate intellectual issues. You often enjoy riddles, puzzles, and brainteasers.
Sunt un tip franc, care spune lucrurilor pe nume. Sunt pătimaş şi perseverent, dar uneori mă plictisesc repede. Încerc să fiu un om bun. În cele mai multe situaţii, îmi reuşeşte. În detrimentul meu. Vrei mai multe ? Uită-te pe pagina despre mine.
bwhahahah.. se mai uita si saitu' la om..
Merită făcut. Şi nu e un test de inteligenţă. E mai ciudat că trebuie să fii sincer. Şi nu e răzbunare, chiar dacă meritai scuipat :)
Doamne am intrat pe site si m-a batut cu 2-0 la pauza :)) o sa ma chinui sa il fac dar am eu o presimtire ca asta e in dusmanire pt mine ca te-am pus sa faci testul ala IQ si la sfarsit te-au "violat" si pe tine ca si pe mine cand ne-au cerut 3 euro pt un test IQ…jeez :) long live mada:)
Am facut si eu testul si mi-a iesit asa : Introvertita, Sincera, Impulsiva, Structura excitabila, Practica, Concreta. zic ca se potriveste … :)
p.s. eu n-am stiut cum sa copiez graficul ala …

SANTINIKETAN Santiniketan is 212 km from Kolkata and is well connected by train, bus and taxi. You can take a train to Bolpur, the nearest railway station which is 2 km away. Santiniketan has a unique cultural identity. It is a preferred tourist destination that was developed as a part of the popular religious-cultural tourist circuit of the region, Santiniketan-Bakreswar-Tarapith. Santiniketan was originally selected by Maharshi Debendranath Tagore in the 1860's for a residence and a prayer hall. Later Rabindranath Tagore started an experimental open-air school known as "Patha Bhavan" here with the objective of educating the student in close liaison with nature in the style of "Tapovana" of ancient India. In 1921, the university named Visva-Bharati came up as a center of Indian culture and the meeting place of the East and the West. In 1951 it became a Central University and is specially known for the teaching of fine arts-music, dance and painting. Attractions in Shantiniketan :
Pous Mela Pous Mela is the most remarkable annual fair here, held toward end of December, marks the foundation day of Shantiniketan. Holi or Vasantutsav is a popular festival here, which is observed with all the colours and fervour. Other melas like Barsha Mangal and Halakarshan utsav also attract tourists to Shantiniketan.
Basant Utsav: Held in the month of March on the day of Holi. Spring is welcomed through music and dances. Teachers and students greet each other with Abirs in this festival day. Basant Utsav literally means the 'celebration of spring'. The beautiful tradition of celebrating spring festival in Bengal was first started by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, at Vishwabharati Shantiniketan, the University founded by him. Actually, Basant Utsav is no different from Holi, except for the gracefulness with which it is celebrated. In Shantiniketan, Basant Utsav is celebrated with immense fervor and zeal.
Nanoor: Nannor, 18 km from Bolpur, is a small town/ large village in Birbhum District West Bengal. It is the birthplace of 14th century lyric poet Chandidas of Vaishnava Padavali fame.
Bakreswar: 59 km from Bolpur, Bakreswar is a holy place with an attractive hot-spring. Village Bakreswar in Suri Sub-division is situated 18 kms South West of Suri, the district headquarter of Birbhum. The place is renowned for "HOT-SPRING" and has historical importance as holy place for the existence of "SHIVA LINGAM". There are a number of hot springs with cold springs in close proximity to them. They all discharge in to a rivulet which run past and join a small stream about 200 yards from the temple. The hot springs at Bakreswar are reputed to cure numerous chronic ailments. A big Mela is held every year on the day of Shiva-Ratri.
Kankalitala: Kankalitala , 10 km from Shantiniketan is one of the fifty two peethas where the dismembered parts of Sati fell. Labhpur is also famous as one of the sacred peetha where the dead body of Sati fell. The famous temple of goddess Fullora also adds some interest to the religious importance of the place.
Tarapith: TARAPITH, 80 km from Bolpur, is situated near the Dwaraka river in Birbhum, West Bengal. Close by to the Temple is the Bamdev Shangha Ashram. Enshrined at the Temple is a murti of the Goddess Tara, who according to local legend suckled the thirst drenched Shiva, and saved him from suffering. The Murti is covered in a golden mask during the day, and during the night they remove this covering. She is described as holding two snakes in her hands, and Lord Shiva on her lap suckling.
Ballavpur Dear Park: Ballavpur Danga Village, 3 km from Shantiniketan, is located in the state of West Bengal in East India. The village is quite simple and mainly comprises of Santhal tribal community. The natural surrounding and unique lifestyle of the Santhal tribe is what makes this village different from others. On the excursion trip from the Ballavpur Danga village you can plan out the tour to the Deer park, which lies at the distance of 2 km from the village.
Nalhati: Nalhati (pilgrimage centre) 75 km from Bolpur, It is famous for Nalateswari Temple. It is so called because Nala or throat of Sati fell here as known by tradition. Another report says that it was a Lalat or forehead that fell here. It is regarded as a Pithas i.e. one of the 52 places where parts of Sati's body fell. It is located on a small & beautiful hill.
Jaidev Kenduli: Jaidev Kenduli, 30 km from Shantiniketan, Jaydev Kenduli had long been considered as a possible birthplace of the poet Jayadeva, who had composed Gita Govinda in Sanskrit.
Baul: Bauls are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal. The term Baul refers to both a syncretic religious sect and a musical tradition used as a vehicle to express Baul thought. Bauls are a very heterogeneous group, with many different streams to the sect, but their membership mainly consists of Vaishnavite Hindus and Sufi Muslims. They can be often identified by their distinctive clothes and musical instruments, such as the ektara. Though Bauls comprise only a small fraction of the Bengali population, their influence on the culture of Bengal is considerable. In 2005, the Baul tradition was included in the list of "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.

Donepezil for dementia with Lewy bodies: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial
- One-hundred and forty patients with DLB, recruited from 48 specialty centers in Japan, were randomly assigned to receive placebo, 3, 5, or 10 mg of donepezil hydrochloride daily for 12 weeks (n=35, 35, 33, and 37, respectively).
- Effects on cognitive function were assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and several domain-specific neuropsychological tests.
- Changes in behavior were evaluated using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), caregiver burden using the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI), and global function using the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change-plus Caregiver Input (CIBIC-plus).
- Safety measures included the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III.
- Donepezil at 5 and 10 mg/day were significantly superior to placebo on both MMSE (mean difference, 95%CI, p value; 5 mg, 3.8, 2.3 to 5.3, p<0.001; 10 mg, 2.4, 0.9 to 3.9, p=0.001) and CIBIC-plus (p<0.001 for each): 3 mg/day was significantly superior to placebo on CIBIC-plus (p<0.001), but not on MMSE (p=0.017).
- Significant improvements were found also in behavioral measures (p<0.001) at 5 and 10 mg/day and caregiver burden (p=0.004) at 10 mg/day.
- The safety results were consistent with the known profile of donepezil and similar among groups.

Here is the video description:
Memorial service for Shaima al-Awadi is being held at the Islamic Center of Lakeside. Friends, family and community members have gathered to pay respects to the 32-year-old mother of five.
Al-Awadi was found unconscious in the dining room of her home in the San Diego suburb of El Cajon. She died of her wounds several days later..
The murder has left the Muslim community in a state of shock. El Cajon is home to an estimated 60-thousand Middle Eastern immigrants, many who have come to America to seek a better life.
The service included the participation of leaders in the Muslim and Christian communities. Al-Awadi's husband Kassim al-Himidi addressed the crowd in Arabic as his son Mohammed translated.
No local police were present, but representatives of the Iraqi government did attend and speak at the service. Speakers urged the community to remain patient as authorities continue their investigation in al-Awaidi's killing.
The FBI is assisting the El Cajon police in the investigation. The Bureau is providing agents specifically trained to conduct hate crime investigations. Authorities continue to call the killing an isolated incident but have yet to comment on suspects or evidence.
Muslim leaders remind the community to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
So sad to see this video. Hate crimes In USA are increasing against Muslims and US authorities are doing nothing to stop all this.

Amazon Kindle gets McGraw-Hill college material
updated 03:35 pm EDT, Thu August 6, 2009
Kindle, McGraw-Hill team
Amazon and McGraw-Hill Education announced on Thursday that they have teamed up to deliver McGraw-Hill's library of higher education content. To date, McGraw-Hill's 3,000 professional business, medical and technical titles are available on the e-book readers. The new arrangement will add more than 100 textbooks and other titles covering most common arts, math and science fields.
The expansion is pitched as lightening the load of students as well as enabling notes and highlights in the e-books themselves.
The titles will first become available in the fall as part of on-campus trial programs, where Amazon will distribute loaner Kindle DX devices to students that come with access to the books. Other book publishers like Pearson and Wiley have already agreed to similar textbook plans for the coming school year.

The Coronation Cup started in 1996 when the fleet of Platus was based in Hua Hin. The owners wanted to name a regatta with a connection to Thailand, and John Weston - who was part of the original design team - was challenged to find a suitable name for the regatta. He decided to associate the regatta with the King's coronation.
The Ferret and the Coronation Cup. Top of the Gulf Regatta 2010.
No one has ever successfully defended the Cup, so this year presents a special challenge for Scott Duncanson and his crew. 'Scotty' has won the Cup three times - in 2002, 2008 and 2010, and K. Vinai Vongtim has won it twice, in the inaugural event in 1996 and also in 2001.
Coronation Cup 2011 will see at least four teams mounting a strong challenge, including Scott Duncanson on The Ferret, Rolf Heemskerk on The Fox, Maximilian Soh on Magic Dragon and Kenta Inaba on Motornet (or perhaps Lucky Lady). Kenta is travelling in from Japan and was on the podium last time he came to Pattaya. Maximilian is the skipper of a young but very experienced team who have won match racing events in both Malaysia and Pattaya this year.
Rolf Heemskerk won almost everything last year, but wants to add the Coronation Cup to his long list of awards. His battles with Scott Duncanson have continued for three years, and are amazingly close and eventful - similar to the Ray Roberts/Neil Pryde battles. Scott was the National Platu Champion in 2008 and 2009 but was narrowly beaten by Rolf last year.
Other entries include Pine Pacific with K Ithinai as skipper, Puma with its usual Japanese crew, and three teams from the Singapore Management University including crew from the Western Australia University. Also trying their hand for the first time we have a young team aboard Stingray skippered by Don Whitcraft, whose father Kevin will be entering the racing class aboard his much revamped boat. We may get some surprises from these teams because they are getting faster race by race, and for sure in One Design fleets everyone gets the chance to win.
The list of winners is shown below but we are missing the year 2000. If anyone reading this has knowledge please inform Kev Scott at email@example.com.

LAST UPDATED: 7:47 a.m. HST, Nov 10, 2013
BERLIN >> The European Space Agency says that one of its research satellites that ran out of fuel will most likely crash to Earth into the ocean or polar regions.
The agency said today the crash is expected to occur between Sunday 1:30 p.m. and Monday 7:30 p.m. EST (8:30 a.m and 2:30 p.m. in Hawaii.)
Spokeswoman Jocelyne Landeau said the satellite, GOCE, will mostly disintegrate as it comes down and "we will have only a few pieces which could be 90 kilograms at the most."
ESA said Friday that humans are 250,000 times more likely to win the lottery than to get hit by the debris.
GOCE was launched in 2009 to map the Earth's gravitational field.

Communities across Oregon are grappling with an inadequate supply of early childhood facilities. Meanwhile, experts have led the way to a better understanding of how the design of a facility influences a child's development - positively or negatively depending on the design.
"Room to Grow" is a compilation of articles about the design and financing of early childhood facilities. Written by professionals in the fields of early care and education, architecture/design, community development, fundraising and children's advocacy, the publication provides a glimpse of what is possible in Oregon. Interviews conducted in Oregon suggest that the expertise and funding exist now to begin making headway in communities across the state. While resources exist, they are disparate and inadequate, and putting the pieces together while operating an early childhood program can be overwhelming. A handful of heroic organizations have overcome the challenges. Their stories are told here.

Download Report (PDF)
Science confirms what common sense tells us: the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of infants, toddlers and preschoolers provides the foundation for healthy development in later childhood and adolescence. Yet in Oregon, far too many children grow up in environments that jeopardize their ability to be successful in school and life. The stresses of poverty, parental depression and social isolation, for example, can impede the healthy development of young children.
Oregon's prevention-focused early childhood programs are doing good work; however, the number of vulnerable children in Oregon outstrips the capacity of these programs to serve those most in need. Read on to learn more about Oregon's Starting Five.
From Risk to Resilience
From Risk to Resilience
Download Report (PDF)
The report, "From Risk to Resilience: Building the Social and Emotional Health of Oregon's Most Vulnerable Young Children," highlights why and how the social, emotional and behavioral health of young children provides the foundation for success in school and beyond.
Children who are engaged, able to focus, cooperate with peers, accept supervision from adults and regulate their emotions are much more likely to do well in school than those who are not. Children who are routinely distracted or disengaged, constantly fighting with their classmates and teachers, or too often swept away by their emotions will struggle, and many will fail.
The report highlights the good work being done in Oregon to promote positive social and emotional health of at-risk children. Regrettably, far too few of the young children whose social, emotional and behavioral health is at risk have access to these and other prevention strategies that can change the trajectory of their lives.

Fox's new TV show tries to make mental illness entertaining. It isn't.
In the wake of actor David Carradine's hanging last week, various theories have surfaced about cause of death, none more bizarre than that of Carradine family lawyer Mark Geragos, who told Larry King: "David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies ... And so there is a suspicion that if there was some foul play, that may be the first area they should look."
I have another idea: Look at Carradine's recent appearance on Fox's execrable show Mental, which might have made him self-destructive, at the very least.
On the show, Carradine plays an author named Gideon who's been admitted to a psychiatric institution in L.A. Speechless and wheelchair-bound, Gideon is visited by his blond supermodel daughter, who depends on Director of Mental Health Services Jack Gallagher—the Errol Flynn of psych administrators—to puzzle out her father's catatonia.
As part of this venture, Gideon is cradled in a swimming pool by a large African-American orderly. This isn't enough for Gallagher: He jumps into the pool—clothes on—to do the cradling himself. That's just the kind of guy he is; in Mental's pilot, he disrobes in the hospital lobby to subdue a violent, naked paranoid schizophrenic.
Poor David Carradine spends most of his episode with his head lolling like a giant flower on a skinny stem. He's forced to emote, somewhat, when Gallagher yells at him about guilt and judgment, at which point his character emerges from the catatonia and grrs like Tony the Tiger.
Carradine's storyline, explicated by cut-rate CGI and embarrassing biblical references, is typical of Mental, which is boring, amateurish and feebly scripted. I'm guessing it won't last long. But for the moment, it's the only network TV show about mental illness—an opportunity that's tragically squandered.
Gallagher, played by Chris Vance, is the least busy (and least irritated) hospital administrator I've ever seen. He deals with one patient at a time, and has enough freedom in his schedule to break into a patient's home to learn more about him. He discovers that the patient, Vincent (van Gogh—get it?), is an artist, so he takes him off meds and channels his creativity instead. Now ensconced in a private room, Vincent draws and the pastels work their magic. Happens at Bellevue every day.
This episode also features a patient who's been diagnosed with "Dead Cat Syndrome"—which won't be found in any book, I assure you—because he's hoarded cats then put them in his freezer. The police come when it's revealed he's been storing his dead wife in the freezer, too. A pretty psychiatrist shakes her head sadly as he's taken away: Just another day.
The second episode is about an attractive and successful white couple—she's a homemaker; he's a doctor—with a shared psychotic disorder that causes her body to manifest pregnancy at seven months. Gallagher manages to break through the shared delusion by illicitly performing a fake surgery on the wife in the husband's presence. The operating room and its staff are remarkably available for this theatrical presentation, and because the husband loves the wife, they are both brought back to utter sanity. No meds, no therapy, just love.
Some would say there's nothing wrong with these goofy storylines; they're obviously over-the-top since any hospital administrator who'd push a pharma rep into a stairwell would be fired rather than have sweaty sex with a supermodel. But most Americans know nothing about the reality of psychiatric hospitals—and this show won't help. The institution in Mental is so clean, so filled with kindly, attractive doctors and patients, so quiet, so sane, it's the Canyon Ranch of asylums.
Here are some quick-hit realities that are so far nowhere to be seen on Mental, network TV's only show about mental illness:
Hey, maybe those crazy people have it pretty good!
African-Americans are 200 percent more likely to have schizophrenia than white people.
One third of all homeless people suffer from untreated psychiatric illnesses.
There are more people with mental illness in jails and prisons than in hospitals.
At least 16 percent of incarcerated people suffer from serious mental illness.
People with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia have higher mortality rates than the general population, and are more likely to suffer from cardiac illnesses, diabetes and obesity.
"I recently did a seven-day stint at a local mental hospital, and Ms. Spikol is certainly right that the Fox show distorts the reality of such places. I hadn't been hospitalized since I was a teenager in the late 1980s, and I was unprepared for how stressful and unpleasant my recent experience actually turned out to be. Too few staff; staff that seemed either indifferent and just there to collect a paycheck, or else struggling to do some good for the patients yet overwhelmed; violent patients that have proven themselves to be a threat kept on the same ward with non-violent; fights breaking out over minor things or over nothing; people not getting the meds they need; little or no recreational outlets; these are the realities of far too many mental health facilities in cities like Philadelphia."
"By the way, Ms. Spikol, what's up with referring to a character as "a large African-American orderly"? Is his race relevant to the plot in some way? And did you mean to say that African Americans are 200 percent more likely to have schizophrenia than whites, or just 200 percent more likely to be diagnosed with it in certain contexts?"
"Wow, so Liz Spikol is a white supremacist, excellent extracurricular to have for writing reviews. Maybe if you can learn how to tone down the constant belchings of African-American schizophrenic homelessness for a second, I can put some weight into your review!
I mean, C'mon, "The homelessness among people with schizophrenia is connected to socioeconomic conditions that potentially share responsibility for the etiology of the illness." Okay, so the fact that homeless schizophrenics are in a terrible socioeconomic class is actually the root cause of said schizophrenia?! BS plz!"
"Wow people really, why twist words in your comments. Come on it's an article and all of what she is reporting as far as statistics are true. So do we all have to be so grammatically correct. All terms (homeless, gay, black, white, whatever) are just labels! You should be more upset that WE use them!
