There is an undeniable bond that develops between females and horses. No matter if she is three, thirty-three or eighty-three, a four-legged, 1200 pound equine can inhabit the deepest recesses of a female heart. This book is my humble attempt to explore these intimate relationships. Many, many thanks to 'my horsewomen' that allowed me to intrude into their lives, their routines & schedules, granting un-limited access to their horses: Cheryl; Cassidy & Jessica from Irish Creek Stables in Mohrsville, PA; Elizabeth, Nancy, Paula, Sabrina & Sandy from Schocharie Ridge Farm in New Tripoli, PA; Diane & Lisa from Valley Mist Farm in Oley, PA. The pleasure was all mine, photographing you & your horses helped to feed my fever. Dedicated to my granddaughter, Caroline: May you someday know how it feels to fly without wings! OXOXOX

I am writing part of a PHP web application (which will be used in a high school bug finding contest) where the user must find bugs in a given Java program. As a part of this, when the Java program executes, we want to highlight the lines of the source of the Java program where the code has executed. To do this, all we need are the line numbers of the source that have been executed, that is, the code path (or is it called code coverage?). We will highlight the lines in the source file using the line numbers.
We will be using PHP's shell-exec() to execute the Java program and the tool to get the code path (whatever that will be). What is the easiest way of getting the line numbers of code path?
Thank you very much!
Here is a picture that describes what we would like

Battered and battling 90-degree, wind-whipped heat, West Texas A&M found a way to win on the road again.
The Buffs overcame an early 10-0 deficit to outscore Abilene Christian 41-21 the rest of the way in earning a critical 41-31 Lone Star Conference football victory and 15th road win under coach Don Carthel.
With No. 5 Delta State's loss Thursday, the Buffs should rise a notch in the American Football Coaches Association Division II poll this week. The Wildcats travel to Stephenville this week to play No. 10 Tarleton State, which rolled Eastern New Mexico, 40-10, on Saturday in Blackwater Draw, N.M. The unbeaten Texans also should advance in the national poll.
WT and Tarleton are 6-0 in the LSC.
Up Next for WT
The Matchup: Angelo State (2-5 overall, 1-2 in Lone Star Conference) at West Texas A&M (8-0, 4-0), 6 p.m. Saturday, Kimbrough Memorial Stadium.
The win gives WT its second 8-0 start in school history. The 2005 team won its first eight games and then fell, 58-53, to Angelo State at home. The Rams return to Kimbrough Memorial Stadium this week.
At some point, Buffs fans have to wonder when injuries are going to do in their team. But it didn't happen against ACU.
Quarterback Keith Null threw for more than 300 yards for the sixth game (he had a season-low 297 vs. Midwestern State) despite playing two-plus quarters on a twisted right ankle.
While Keithon Flemming ran for more than 100 yards for the fifth game, the Buffs also worked in Wayne McKnight and Kelvin Thompson to mix rushing styles and save wear and tear on Flemming. But McKnight was stood up on a run near the goal line and also injured an ankle. He missed the entire second half.
In a showdown of two backs new to the LSC, Flemming came out the victor. The WT sophomore ran for 113 yards compared to 88 for ACU junior Bernard Scott. Both had 18 rushes.
It was a hard-hitting game, evidenced by the block ACU quarterback Billy Malone, who is 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, put on Buffs defensive end Justin Williams. On a broken play, Malone flattened Williams, who weighs just a few pounds more.
But for WT, receiver Charly Martin, who was plagued by leg cramps much of the third quarter, stole an apparent interception from Wildcats defensive back E.J. Whitley at the Wildcats 1 in the fourth quarter. The catch set up a field goal that gave the Buffs a 10-point lead.
Malone's rematch with Null was about even ... on the stat sheets. Null beat Malone's Wildcats, 40-24, in 2005, when both quarterbacks were freshmen.
On Saturday, Null was 29-for-47 with an interception on a tipped pass. Malone was 28-for-49 with two interceptions. The big difference was Null threw four touchdown passes and Malone threw one.
Also, Null was better at making key throws than Malone. ACU's last two drives ended on an incomplete pass that was tipped by WT linebacker Jared Brock and by Kyle Seals' interception of Malone.
Despite 96 passing attempts combined by the teams, the defenses managed only one sack combined (of Null).
WT generated 511 yards. Of the Wildcats' 436 yards, 183 were generated by receiver Johnny Knox. While teammate Jerale Badon caught 10 passes, it was Knox who had the big game. Knox caught a wide-open 37-yard touchdown pass, a short pass that he legged into a 60-yard gain that set up a touchdown and a 39-yarder. That's more than 25 percent of the Wildcats' offense.
But despite giving up those three big plays, WT's defense also came up big three times:
Null was stripped of the ball in the first quarter, and ACU recovered at the Buffs 2. Three plays, ACU was at the 3 and had to settle for a field goal.
End Jon Granger knocked down running back Taber Minner for no gain on fourth down at the WT 14.
Brock's tip of a Malone pass late in the game, also on fourth down, led to a Buffs field goal.

2009 Nissan Xterra SUV SE 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Overall I'm very pleased with my Xterra SE. Something I haven't seen mentioned here is a recent recall I was told about through a Nissan mailing. The mailing states that there "could be" a bad weld on the torsion bar and to schedule an appointment with the dealership and they'd diagnose and repair at no cost if necessary. The dealer informed me that they needed a special welder to do the repair and they didn't have one there. They are supposed to locate a business nearby that can handle the job and contact me. They also said that Corporate Nissan informed them that this recall is for ALL Xterra's- not some of them. I felt a bit deceived by the mailing at that point. Otherwise, I'm very happy.
Sound System, Blue Tooth, XM all work great. Very happy with the exterior looks and interior versatility. I camp, mountain bike, carpool etc... and it's very capable in all areas.
Interior could benefit with stronger plastic-seems to "ding/scratch" quite easily (I'm outdoorsie but, I'm pretty conscious about taking it easy on the overall appearance of my purchase). Exterior Temp Gauge. Rear Heat/AC Control/Vents. Front Seat Heaters.

Q&A with Oklahoma defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger
Are you amazed you're back on the field right now, considering what you went through last December? "I'm pretty amazed. I have to give thanks to the doctors they put around this facility. Dr. (Brock) Schnebel and the trainers. There wouldn't be a chance of me coming back without them. The rehab they put me through was amazing and the facilities they put me in with the rehab were amazing." How much pain were you in last year with the foot and the back? "It was just different every week. It was something I had to fight through because I love football. Surgery was a must-have. But compared to last year and how I feel now, body-wise, I feel great. It's just a point of getting used to getting back to football since I've been out of training from last December to July." Where would you say you are right now, put a percentage on it? "I'm about 90-95 percent. Besides getting back to the groove of everything and getting used to how fast everything moves, I think I'll be pretty good." Is it just a question of getting back into football shape? How far along are you there? "I still work out in between practices. It would be wrong to just throw me in there right now, because after about 15-20 plays, I'm no good, well, I might be no good. As days and weeks go by, I'll get back in shape and get my weight back down to my playing weight." How far away are you from getting into football shape, to a 100 percent? "Maybe a month, or less. I'm just going to keep pushing it until they tell me to stop." People forget about the foot because of the back surgery. How does the foot feel now? "The foot feels great now. It was healed when I came back. I tape it up from a doctor's standpoint, just to make sure I don't re-hurt it. But it feels back to normal." You seemed to have earned a lot of respect from teammates, because people initially thought you'd be out for the year with the foot, then people thought you might be out for a couple months, but you came back a lot sooner against Texas. How did you make it back so quickly? "Again, doctors and trainers. Without them or the facilities here, I wouldn't have. The doctors have been here so long, they know exact procedures to get you back on the field. Also, the coaches have instilled it in us how to be tough. Of course, it was painful when I came back. But it wasn't too painful where I didn't think I couldn't play." Did it get to a point with the back where you thought, 'I can't tolerate it anymore?' "It was just one of those bad weeks; it escalated to the point where I couldn't take it no more. Doctors said I needed surgery to correct it. It came out for the best." Did you think there was a chance your playing career was over at that point? "At a point, during this rehab, it was a little frustrating because I had never been seriously hurt before. It was just frustrating because I'm used to doing everything full-go. But I had to learn to be patient. It came slow, but it came along." So you have no pain now in your back? "No, none." Was there something that prompted the pain that required the back surgery? "No, there was nothing they could pinpoint it to. It could've been anything. It started out as the same pain that came and went. I never missed a game before; it was manageable. But it was one of those days where it wouldn't go away. It wasn't like the foot at all. They strongly advise me to have surgery and it helped me then, and in the long run." Playing through injury all year, how tough was it to watch the national title game from the sidelines? "At that point, I was looking at the bright side. I mean, I was walking. The surgery could've gone wrong. I could've been paralyzed. But I had the chance to come back. I had the chance to go with the team to Miami. I got out of the hospital two days before we got on the plane. So, they put me on crutches, and coach Stoops allowed me to come even though I couldn't do anything. I was just happy to be there and not be sitting at home watching it."

text: Did a search but there doesn`t seem to be much info about these bikes on BF. Apparently, these bikes were made in collaboration with Pacific Cycles(see link). They do look a lot like the Reach but what I found really interesting was the removable pull-cart which attaches to the rear rack and is designed to be used with the carrybag. Anyway I snapped a couple photos today:

In an excellent feature on Magnus Carlsen in the Telegraph, Nigel Farndale writes:
He [Carlsen] has always been interested in the history of chess and has had the chance to play both Karpov and Kasparov, two legends of the game. But if he could play anyone in history who would it be? 'I think the top ones would be Fischer and Capablanca, maybe Mikhail Tal, but I think I would beat Tal pretty easily. Fischer would be more difficult, but I think I could beat him too.'
Carlsen isn't being arrogant, just honest. And here's the thing: he's unquestionably right. Chess is actually that one sport where the best player of the current generation is likely to be the best ever in objective terms. That is because the body of knowledge expands enormously with every generation, as do the tools of analysis (and therefore preparation). If Fischer at his 1972 peak met the Carlsen of today, he would be bound to lose. Indeed, I believe he would lose to some other top players as well, such as Caruana and Nakamura, simply because they'd be much better prepped. Of course, if Fischer was born in the same year as Carlsen, it could be a different story. But that's a counterfactual, and all we have to go by is the games they actually played. So Carlsen is right.
I think when he doesn't speak of Kasparov, he's just being respectful. Kasparov coached him at one point, and bumps into Carlsen now and then as a grandee in the chess circuit, and Carslen would want to avoid awkwardness. But I have no doubt he believes he can beat Kasparov as well.
We will find out in March which of eight contenders takes on Carlsen for the World Championship later next year. Whoever it is, Carlsen will be favourite to win. But he does, according to me, have one weakness: his tendency, in poker terms, to go on tilt. Here's an old piece I wrote about it, though Anand sadly could not capitalise.
And ah, Farndale also writes in his piece:
For someone who exhibits phenomenal powers of concentration at the chessboard – he is capable of calculating 'lines' that are 30 to 40 moves ahead – Magnus Carlsen is easily bored.
I hate to quibble, but Farndale is wrong here. No human can actually calculate 30 to 40 moves ahead accurately. In fact, as a famous study once demonstrated, experts actually calculate the same number of moves ahead as novices do—but they calculate the right ones. This is not a glib remark: grandmasters have a far wider understanding of recurring patterns on the chess board and motifs than lesser players do, and this knowledge is implicit, their responses to it instinctive. So a top GM would not even consider some lines a lesser IM might, and an IM would instantly see things on the board that would escape me completely. But we'd all see the same number of moves ahead!

I was fortunate a few days ago to win the Bastiat Prize for Journalism for the second time. The prize is given annually to a writer whose work serves to "explain, promote and defend the principles of the free society." I had also won it in 2007, and became the first person to win it twice.
Here's the speech I delivered on receiving the award:
These are the pieces I won the award for:

As today is apparently Constitution Day, here's a thought from the great BR Ambedkar, who is considered the chief architect of our constitution:
We built a temple for a God to come in and reside, but before the God could be installed, if the devil had taken possession of it, what else could we do except destroy the temple? We do not intend that it should be occupied by the Asuras. We intended it to be occupied by the Devas. That is the reason why I said I would rather like to burn it.
These words were spoken in parliament in 1953, if I remember correctly.
I'm surprised that so many smart people I know express reverence for our constitution. Our constitution is deeply flawed: it does not protect freedom of speech or the right to property, and is a sprawling, unwieldy cut-paste job that has constantly been amended over the decades to suit the nefarious purposes of politicians. Ambedkar himself felt this way in 1953—things have only gotten worse since then.
Do watch this great lecture by Shruti Rajagopalan to get a sense of the journey our constitution has travelled.

Munna Kumar Sharma, the national secretary of the Hindu Mahasabha, has said about Aamir Khan:
If not move to Pakistan, he should indulge in 'ghar wapsi' to free himself from the crimes of 'love jihad' that he has committed.
I love that sentence, for the way in which it combines three Hindutva tropes into one sentiment. There is genius there—or should I say, Hindu Mahagenius?

... an essay about a selfie is itself a selfie of sorts. I wonder here, what would be more narcissistic for the author: to be aware of this, or to be oblivious?
Posted at 5:13 PM by Amit Varma in Small thoughts
So how has the government reacted to Aamir Khan's recent comments about the growing intolerance in India? Rediff reports:
The government on Tuesday termed as "misplaced" superstar Aamir Khan's comments on growing intolerance, saying such statements only bring disrepute to the country as well as Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"His comments on intolerance is completely misplaced. Comments like this only bring the image of country and the Prime Minister Modi down," Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju told reporters on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi when asked to comment on Aamir Khan's statement on Monday at an award function in the national capital.
The Modi government's obsession with optics is now getting beyond parody. These guys are more concerned with image than substance. This is understandable during a campaign, but they won the damn election and are actually governing now. Why so insecure?
Meanwhile, bhakts on Twitter have made it quite clear that Aamir's claims of intolerance won't be tolerated. What fun.

Surely by now you have read all about Anil Thakraney's interview of Pahlaj Nihalani, the chief of the censor board:
Speaking of Spectre, surely Bond would kiss beautiful women he encounters, he isn't going to say Namaste to them.
So why didn't people object to the earlier Bond films? There was not a single kiss shown in Skyfall. That time no one thought of the sanskaari thing? We have passed the kiss! We only asked them to reduce the duration by 20 seconds.
I don't get this logic. A kiss is a kiss. Ten seconds or one minute.
(Gets angry). This means you want to do sex in your house with your door open. And show to people the way you are doing sex.
Nihalani is a buffoon, but that is not the point. Nor is it the point whether the censor board has been more 'liberal' under the previous government or under this one. The point simply is that the censor board should not exist at all. The existence of the board is a violation of free speech. Period. Protesting against or making fun of Nihalani is besides the point. Even if the most cultured and intelligent and pro-free-speech people on the planet headed the censor board, they would be as deserving of my contempt as Nihalani is.
Forget the man; examine the principle.
And oh, by and by, wtf is 'do sex'?
Update: In an otherwise excellent column, Mitali Saran writes: 'It is time to have an adult at the head of the CBFC.'
No it isn't. It's time to do away with the CBFC. Individuals aren't the problem; systems are.

The Monday Poem:
by Lawrence Raab
Years later they find themselves talking
about chances, moments when their lives
might have swerved off
for the smallest reason.
What if
I hadn't phoned, he says, that morning?
What if you'd been out,
as you were when I tried three times
the night before?
Then she tells him a secret.
She'd been there all evening, and she knew
he was the one calling, which was why
she hadn't answered.
Because she felt-
because she was certain-her life would change
if she picked up the phone, said hello,
said, I was just thinking
of you.
I was afraid,
she tells him. And in the morning
I also knew it was you, but I just
answered the phone
the way anyone
answers a phone when it starts to ring,
not thinking you have a choice.

The Haryana government took Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swacch Bharat campaign to a new height on Tuesday by deciding to recruit only those people for select jobs who don't defecate in the open.
Advertisements issued by the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) Kurukshetra in prominent dailies on Tuesday said for the post of block coordinators, preference will be given to candidates "not defecating in the open".
I can totally imagine this scene:
A young man walks in to interview for the post. The first question he is asked: 'Do you defecate in the open, young man?'
'No sir,' he says.
Then he climbs up on the desk, lowers his trouser and underpants, squats, and PLOP, out it comes. Then he climbs back down.
'Young man,' says the interviewer, 'congratulations. The job is yours!'

Most things won't happen, Larkin said,
But this one will: We will be dead.
The saddest thing, in each context,
Is knowing that we could be next.
Some take the bus, some take the train,
Some die in sleep, the rest in pain
But of one thing we can be sure:
All die imperfect, each impure
Some wishing that they had been better,
Others worse, but no one deader.
Shoes left, like Buddhists, at the door:
Those won't be needed anymore.

I'm travelling at the moment and haven't been following the news too closely, so I'm hesitant to comment on the Bihar elections. One thing I can say for sure, though: all simple narratives are wrong. Elections are complex phenomena, and a mix of personal, local and national reasons—in that order—make people vote the way they do in state elections. Any one-line explanation of the elections will always be wrong.
One thing that seems clear to me actually renders the future unclear: the BJP will now consciously veer in one of two opposite directions. They will either sideline the communal elements in the party and continue pushing for 'development'; or they will go all out appealing to religious nationalism (and caste-based politicking when relevant). I think the time when they could do both credibly is behind us now.
If they go the religious nationalism route, they can be assured of their core vote-share of maybe around 15% that will be loyal to them. Where do they get the rest from? In 2014, people were just fed up and wanted to be rid of the UPA, and the BJP's development rhetoric was attractive. But this government hasn't delivered and isn't doing anything to deliver on the kind of economic growth that lifts all boats, as it were. It is safe to say that many who voted for them on the 'development' or 'change' planks are disappointed. Many of the votes they lost in Bihar are probably on that account. Plus, of course, the opposition consolidated, as they will continue to do so. Even if the BJP hold that national 31% of the voteshare they got in 2014, they will lose seats next time around because wherever a mahagatbandhan is possible, one will emerge. The paradigm is BJP vs the rest now, not Congress vs the rest.
So here's the upshot: the only way BJP will be a dominant party in future Indian politics is if it delivers on development and sidelines the nutjobs. But its gains in that case are nebulous and hard to pin down in numbers. Ditching development, increasing communal polarisation and mobilising those core voters, on the other hand, guarantees it a stable base, but has an upper limit. By itself, it is not enough to keep the BJP in power—unless the nutjob constituency grows, a prospect that terrifies me.
I suspect that the BJP will stay in its historical comfort zone. They might talk development but will walk identity politics, as they did in Bihar. Every failure will push them further into that comfort zone. They will growl and periodically lash out from a foetal position.
This is definitely a simplistic analysis. (All topical political analysis is.) I hope I am wrong.

The Monday Poem:
by Tony Harrison
Though my mother was already two years dead
Dad kept her slippers warming by the gas,
put hot water bottles her side of the bed
and still went to renew her transport pass.
You couldn't just drop in. You had to phone.
He'd put you off an hour to give him time
to clear away her things and look alone
as though his still raw love were such a crime.
He couldn't risk my blight of disbelief
though sure that very soon he'd hear her key
scrape in the rusted lock and end his grief.
He knew she'd just popped out to get the tea.
I believe life ends with death, and that is all.
You haven't both gone shopping; just the same,
in my new black leather phone book there's your name
and the disconnected number I still call.

Dibakar Banerjee may have made a bit of a fool of himself by returning an award that wasn't his to return, but he's absolutely right that Anupam Kher "has every right to be unhappy." Kher, the hypocrite who once headed the censor board of India, is not when he says:
Nobody has the right to call India intolerant.
I can't imagine where his concepts of rights arises from. Everybody has the right to call India anything they damn well please—and he has the right to disagree, as Banerjee pointed out. It is incredibly ironic that his riposte to those complaining about rising intolerance in India actually proves their point. The elite and supposedly cultured Anupam Kher is Exhibit A.

From a fine essay on Vladmir's Nabokov's love for Véra Evseevna Slonim :
He could not write a word without hearing it in her pronunciation.
He also called her "his kittykin, his poochums, his mousikins, goosikins, monkeykins, sparrowling, kidlet [...] his skunky, his bird of paradise, his mothling, kitty-cat, roosterkin, mousie, tigercubkin." He eventually married her; they were together for half a century.

A BJP worker in Shivamogga has warned the Karnataka chief minister S Siddaramaiah of consequences if he dares to eat beef.
Let him eat beef at Gopi Circle in Shivamogga. If he does so, he will be beheaded. We won't think twice about that. By making such a statement, the Congress leader has hurt the sentiments of Hindus. We have all grown up drinking cow's milk.
This is standard-issue macho bigotry. I'm not surprised at the talk. I was more taken, actually, by this marvellous piece of logic of a BJP spokerperson from that area:
If he eats beef, then Congress workers will eat dog, fox and so on to appease him and get the posts of chairmen of boards and corporations.
Wow. Should we call this Noah's Slippery Slope?

For a couple of years, every Monday I've been posting a poem on Facebook, with the intent of demonstrating that good poetry is something that can speak to everyone, and need not be abstruse, self-indulgent writing that only a chosen few can engage with. Starting this week, I'm shifting this tradition to India Uncut. Here's the Monday Poem for today:
by Arun Kolatkar
An old woman grabs
hold of your sleeve
and tags along.
She wants a fifty paise coin.
She says she will take you
to the horseshoe shrine.
You've seen it already.
She hobbles along anyway
and tightens her grip on your shirt.
She won't let you go.
You know how old women are.
They stick to you like a burr.
You turn around and face her
with an air of finality.
You want to end the farce.
When you hear her say,
'What else can an old woman do
on hills as wretched as these?'
You look right at the sky.
Clear through the bullet holes
she has for her eyes.
And as you look on
the cracks that begin around her eyes
spread beyond her skin.
And the hills crack.
And the temples crack.
And the sky falls
with a plateglass clatter
around the shatter proof crone
who stands alone.
And you are reduced
to so much small change
in her hand.
This poem was from Kolatkar's 1976 masterpiece, Jejuri. The entire book is brilliant, I can't recommend it highly enough.

In a column that begins by asking why Indians don't dominate cricket, Aakar Patel writes:
[W]e are the Shahid Kapur of cricket though we think we are Shah Rukh Khan.
This is a clever line, and a provocative one, and Aakar loves to provoke. Even his provocative pieces, though, usually contain some insight. In this one, there is none, and the best answer he can offer to the question he asks is one of culture. ("Perhaps [the answer] lies in the idea of ambition and excellence.") This is vague; it's also incorrect. I don't think one can generalise about Indians that we lack ambition or don't try hard enough to excel, and even if that were true, there would be enough outliers in such a large population for excellence to emerge anyway.
Let me take a shot at an answer. The clue to where our cricket is lacking lies in the composition of our all-time cricket XI. Try and draw one up. You will find yourself conflicted about batting spots (Merchant or Sehwag to open with SMG; Viswanath or Laxman or Kohli at No. 5) and spinning slots (Prasanna or Harbhajan; Chandra or Kumble), but the bewilderment that comes when you consider the fast bowling slots will be of a different kind: not of who you keep out among some excellent options, but who you pick among some mediocre players. Kapil Dev walks in; who partners him. Whoever you pick—Srinath, Zaheer, maybe Amar Singh in desperation and misplaced nostalgia—would not be a contender for the all-time fourth XI of any other major side. Indeed, no other side would have such a huge problem in any department while picking their all-time XI. (Try West Indies, just for fun.)
This is India's key weakness. To win abroad, we need to take 20 wickets, and we rarely have the fast bowlers to do it. But why don't we produce enough fast bowlers? Consider what batting and spin bowling require, and what you need for fast bowling. The former two both come down to skill: strength and endurance don't matter; physical attributes are irrelevant. Fast bowlers, on the other hand, need to have fast-twitch muscles. This is genetic; you either have them or you don't; and Indians tend not to have them.
This is why we can't be world beaters in sports that require either strength or endurance. (Even in hockey, we declined when astroturf became ubiquitous and speed became important, and the dribbling game wasn't enough.) I do have hope for cricket, though, because fast bowling isn't everything, and we were the No 1 side in Test cricket for a brief while. To use Aakar's analogy, I don't think we're the Shahid Kapoor of cricket: we're more like Akshay Kumar, or like Govinda in the 90s.
And oh, I don't hold that nature is everything and nurture doesn't matter. Culture is important, and is is true that we are not a country with an outdoor sports culture, the kind Australia has. I'm just not sure which way the causation runs.

Rediff carries an interview with a BMC corporator, Parminder Bhamra, who is moving a proposal to "make gaumutra (cow urine) compulsory to clean hospitals in Mumbai."
What is the reason you are moving this proposal to use cow urine in hospitals?
I feel not only hospitals, but gaumutra must be used everywhere. Diseases like cancer can be cured by gaumutra, so why not use it? You see, gaumutra kills all bacteria.
Do you want phenyl to be replaced with gaumutra?
I am saying we should respect sentiments.
What does your proposal in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation say?
While phenyl is made of chemicals, this (gaumutra) is Ayurvedic, so it must be used.
You must note one thing here: this guy is from the Congress party, not from the BJP or a lunatic fringe outfit.
Will Congress corporators support you?
One hundred percent. Do you know the Congress party symbol was once the Cow and Calf? Other parties have captured our symbol. Originally it was our symbol.
Has the BJP then hijacked the cow from your party?
The BJP's job is to hijack other people's ideas. They don't have their own brains. They only take other people's ideas and move ahead. They have taken all the ideas of the Congress and some of the Janata Dal and moved ahead.
So you see, there isn't just a party or a cultural organisation or a handful of fringe groups which believe in this whacko stuff. No, there is a significant constituency out there which thinks like this, and it is perceived to be so large that other political parties are also catering to it now. But is that perception correct? Is there any data on what people believe in this country? Does this man's support for gaumutra really help his electoral prospects? Who's got the numbers on all this?
One thing I can tell you for sure is that gaumutra isn't ever going to cure cancer. Not the literal one; and not the cancer in our society either.

So Anupam Kher gets booed at a literary event and calls the audience a "paid audience." He follows it up by saying that "people have an agenda and cannot handle a chaiwala becoming a PM."
This is the precise problem with our discourse. Anytime people disagree with you or oppose you, you attack them instead of their argument or their viewpoint. So they are a "paid audience" or they "have an agenda" or they are "ISI/CIA agents" or they are "sickulars" or "bhakts" or "libtards" or aaptards". And they say, "your father too," and we all get caught in an endless cycle of abuse and snark, egged on by the echo chambers we build around us. Messy.
As for Kher, he lost his credibility the day he accepted the chairmanship of the censor board all these years ago. If you're against free expression, you're against art. Shame on him.

The Modi government, under fire for rising intolerance and violence related to eating beef, has allegedly disallowed permission for the airing of a documentary on beef-eating practices made by students of Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
The film titled "Caste on the Menu Card", about the beef eating practices in Maharashtra, was to be screened on Saturday at the Jeevika Asia Livelihood Documentary Festival 2015, in Delhi. However, the makers of the movie say that they were informed by the organisers that they would need a censor certificate.
Firstly, you should note that this is not a protest by some 'fringe elements' within the RSS fold, but a decision by the government. So that whole approach of saying 'Hey, we're focusing on development, these are fringe elements, nothing to do with us' won't work here.
Secondly, you should also note that it was a Congress government that first introduced censorship in India, and over the years have been quite happy to ban books, films, plays and even music albums. So the fault really lies with us. We've been tolerating these assaults on free speech for way too long.
It's never too late to start being intolerant of intolerance.
Oh, and here's the trailer of the film in question. I don't know if watching the full film will make me angry, but it is guaranteed to make me hungry.

An article by TK Devasia in Scroll refers to the Communist Party of India (Marxist) as "the largest business house" in Kerala. We are told:
If the land in possession of the party and its feeder organizations is taken into consideration, the CPI(M) is the single largest owner of land in the land-scarce state. Former Union Finance Minister P Chidamabaram estimated the asset of the CPI(M) in Kerala at Rs 4000 crores a few years ago. He had accused the working class party of driving away investors and using the opportunity to accumulate assets in the state.
The party that views capitalists as class enemies justifies the investments, saying that the workers had created them in order to strengthen the party's fight against capitalists and monopolies.
The workers, indeed! Look, I don't want to single out the CPI(M): every political party in this country is in the business of turning power into money, and then using the money to hold on to or gain more power. But it's especially ironic in the case of the communists. Maybe they should change that parenthetical 'M' into 'Money' instead of 'Marxist'?

As the posts below (and above, as time goes by) would show, I've started blogging again. By that I mean, blogging blogging. Between 2004 and 2009, I wrote more than 8000 posts on India Uncut, at around five posts a day, and the readership was good—I got about 20k-pageviews-a-day when I tailed off. There were diminishing returns and all that, and I got into other things, and I subsequently used IU just for posting links to my columns.
Now that I'm back to writing full-time—even though I'm writing a book and not taking on too much media work—it makes sense to resume blogging—especially as I love the short format of the blog post so much. It's perfectly suited to the pithy thought that packs in more than an ephemeral, shallow tweet could do, and yet should not be forced into a longer piece when that could be stretching it. The Age of the Blog is over, of course, and much of what blogs provided to people has been made redundant by Twitter and Facebook, and I'm pretty sure I'll never get the kind of readership I used to have. Still, if only to indulge myself, I'm at it again.

Question from suresh419
How to send resources to great works - international airport?
Well, I have cities that make crude oil, alloy and metal which are the essentials for phase 1 of the international airport. I click on the button that says to send resources there, but after 30min of play (on fast mode) they still don't even have one stock.
I have a trade depot that "exports" these metals and oil, is there a something I should do here, like stop exporting for sales? or maybe click on "use locally"? or just stop accepting that kind of shipment?
there's so many alternatives that if I try to try them all, I may ruin my city lol... hmm ... or maybe send my recycling trucks there... meh, i'm not sure, please somebody, give me an answers... its already been 2 hours nothing yet now. thanks.
3 years ago
You have to do two things:
1. Click the on button when viewing the great work for the resource you'd like to send (you did this).
2. Set the trade depot/port to use locally for the resource.
Note: You should be able to watch your exports (with the trade view turned on) go from your city to the great work. The great work resource may not progress at first. This may be due to lag or a server glitch. Just make sure you can see the exports traveling to the great work.

Messi can avoid jail by paying £20m fine for alleged tax evasion
Barcelona ace Lionel Messi can avoid a prison sentence for alleged tax evasion if he admits to wrongdoing and pays a fine of 20 million pounds, according to a tax expert.
According to The Sun, the football star and his father Jorge are being investigated for an alleged 3.4 million-pound tax fraud in Spain between 2007 and 2009, and may face up to six years in jail or be ordered to pay fines of up to six times the amount allegedly defrauded if convicted.
The report further said that Messi's father is accused of being the brains behind the operation - one which allegedly used shell companies and tax havens to hide income relating to Messi's image rights.
According to tax expert Jose Maria Mollinedo, if the Argentine pays and admits his involvement, he could obtain a reduction in the minimum punishment and would not have to go to prison.
However, Messi has denied committed any infringement, stating that he and his father have always fulfilled their tax obligations, following the advice of their tax consultants, who, he added, will take care of clarifying this situation.
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has also defended Messi, saying that the club supports him and his family as they do not have any doubt about his innocence.
Messi, recognised as the best player in the world, is rumoured to earn 250,000 pounds-a-week and 13 million pounds in endorsements, the report added. (ANI)

Republican congressional candidates in Oklahoma spar over campaign ad about health care
WASHINGTON — The Republican contest for the eastern Oklahoma congressional seat turned decidedly negative Tuesday when state Rep. George Faught released a television ad showing his opponent apparently endorsing a single-payer health care system.
In the ad, plumbing company owner Markwayne Mullin is shown saying, "I think a single-payer, single-pay system would be the best."
The ad likens Mullin to President Barack Obama, who also is quoted in the 30-second spot endorsing single-payer, universal health care.
Mullin, of Westville, got 42 percent of the vote last week in the Republican primary for the 2nd Congressional District seat being vacated by Rep. Dan Boren; Faught, of Muskogee, got 23 percent. The two will meet in the Aug. 28 runoff primary.
An Aug. 28 runoff also will decide the Democratic nomination in the 2nd District race between Rob Wallace, of Fort Gibson, and Wayne Herriman, of Muskogee.
Mullin said Tuesday that the "quote from my opponent's ad is being used to misrepresent my position, and that is a shameful political trick only a career politician would use."
Mullin said he has always opposed the health care law and got into the race for Congress in part "because of the damage ObamaCare will do to my business and other businesses."
The ad began airing just days after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the 2010 health care law. In fact, though, Faught's ad does not describe the law, which some opponents refer to as ObamaCare.
The health care law does not establish a single-payer system in which the government administers the programs and issues payments to doctors and hospitals. Obama and the Democratic lawmakers who crafted the law ultimately rejected an approach that would have established a Medicare-type system for all Americans.
Instead, people who can afford it will be required to purchase private health insurance through state-based marketplaces.
Faught was among the conservatives who pushed Gov. Mary Fallin last year to reject a $54 million federal grant to establish the exchanges.
Mullin accused Faught's campaign staff of following him around and taping everything he says — "obviously planning to take my words out of context like they just did."
Elisha Krauss, Faught's campaign manager, said the video clip of Mullin was taken from a Republican candidate forum held last August in McIntosh County and that the full video shows Mullin was responding to a question about health care.
Krauss said the Faught campaign did not follow Mullin around; rather, she said, campaign staff members recorded events that Faught attended such as the McIntosh County forum.

- Materials
The frame is made from composition ornament on a wooden chassis. The chassis has mitred corners, which are braced on the reverse. The flutes of the inner scotia are carved in the wood, displaying a slight, but interesting, variation in width and depth. The frame carries a mixture of gilding, burnished on a red bole on the fillet, water gilding on the slip, matte gilding on grey brown over red bole on the leading edge. The leading edge carries a torus of imbricated laurel and berry, banded at the corners and centres. The inner scotia corners are covered by acanthus leaves, the back edge carries a ribbon and stick ornament.

Good condition with worn, but nevertheless original, surfaces.

- About
The frame maker is identified in an Agent-General's account for the NGV, dated 5/9/1877, which serves also to date the frame.1 The frame is safely regarded as the first framing of the painting, though how much it relates to the preference of the artist remains unknown. Given the date it entered the collection –1878 – and the beginning of John Thallon's business in the same year, it is worth noting this frame as a reference for the similarly fluted classical revival frames common to Thallon in his first years as a frame maker. It is a fine example of the classical revival frame, with carved fluting (in contrast to some frames of this type where the fluting has been formed in a mould) and retaining original finishes. The variations in the gilded surfaces, which here remain intact, are commonly lost from frames through mishandled restorations, specifically resurfacing with gold coloured paint or re-gilding with heavy false gold.

I'm mostly speaking about Java and classical OOP. Say I'm using DAO pattern. So I create interfaces like CustomerDao, AccountDao and others. I would place then into org.example.dao package:
This all seems good to me so far. Then I create implementations for these interfaces. Here rises my first question: How do I name them? One practice that I have seen is to use *Impl postfix like CustomerDaoImpl. Or perhaps the name should reflect the nature of the implementation, e.g. AccountDatabaseDao or DatabaseBasedAccountDao? Or may be the name should be left intact and then the package would describe the nature of these implementations? If you suggest one or another way, then where should those implementations be placed? A separate package (what naming logics?) or the same package?

How it all started, as far as I can see:
Older sister always watched it on TV in the mornings before School. I watched it with her, from episode 1. I remember just loving Ash as a kid, and I guess the whole Japanese anime style attracted me as a kid, and I loved the way the show was set out, the whole getting different pokemon and using powerful moves against each other to be the best against everyone, the whole battling thing. And all the different types. It was the SHOW that got me into it, and I didn't discover the game about until half a year later.
Also the fact my sister and everyone at school had Pokemon trading cards made me always think about it.

I don't really want to take apart my entire mount because I am turned off by the idea of adjusting my worm gear meshings. When I auto guide the RA axis stays well below the +1 and -1 limitations on my PHD graphs however the DEC always seems to wonder beyond +1 and -1, resulting in non rounded stars. I spend a good bit of time balancing and polar aligning and I have been thinking about putting a new layer of oil or grease on the DEC worm gear and the Geared axle that rotates on the DEC axis. Im not sure if anyone has tried this combination but I would like to put a mixture of Corrosion X Gun oil and WS2 powder on the gears to give them a long lasting super low friction coating. Im not sure if this will help with DEC guiding at all, but it has been a butter smooth combination on the bolt action of some of my hunting rifles. I have checked with corrosion x and WS2 and they say that their products are completely safe on aluminum and brass and are guaranteed not to damage or corrode or make brittle the components. Does anyone have some input on this procedure?

Transmission Gear Ratio for Cal 2-27
I have just purchased a 1975 Cal 2-27. Is there any way to determine what the gear ratio was on the tranmission? The boat was upgraded from its Atomic Four to a Kubota diesel in 1988 and has a Martec 2-blade folding prop 12D-12P.

Liverpool are set to trump Barcelona for young Sevilla striker Luis Alberto. Alberto spent last season on-loan at Barca B with the view to signing permanently for the Spanish giants. But disagreement over the player's transfer price has stalled the deal.
The Guardian says the 20-year-old is on a season-long loan with Barcelona's B team and the Spanish champions have an option to make his move permanent before the end of June. That has not deterred Liverpool from submitting a bid to Sevilla and putting themselves in prime position to sign Alberto should a move to Barcelona fail to materialise.

Here are my main criteria for selecting a new device (in order of importance):
Ability to keep my unlimited data plan, I'd rather not interact with VZW at all.
CM11 support with working camera/corder, navigation, and wifi tethering
Easy reliable root/s-off process
Excellent camera hardware. SGS5's kinda sucks, One M8 not bad, and we can't use LG GPro2 on VZW.
Excellent battery life, or option for extended battery. (With my usage habits I can get >52 hours from of my Rezound's extended batt and Kernel Tuner)
>32GB storage, prefferrably removable SDcard
As for keeping my data plan, I hope all I have to do is buy a phone from a 3rd party, swap in my SIM and continue life as normal. I know the current phones now use the mini-SIM or whatever, and that a normal SIM can be trimmed to fit. Will this work or do I have no choice but to involve VZW in the upgrade?

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
