quietearth [Celluloid 09.15.08] movie review horror
Year: 2007
Release date: Unknown
Director: Adam Wingard
Writers: Adam Wingard & E.L. Katz & Lane Hughes
IMDB: link
Trailer: link
Review by: quietearth
Rating: 8.5 out of 10
When a film starts out with "WARNING: The following film contains sequences that many not be suitable for individuals diagnosed with epilepsy", you know the bar is being set very high. While seemingly an oversimplified mixture of storyline and PSYCHOTRONICS, Pop Skull pushes the boundaries of immersion to the point of falling into the avant garde category, and I would call it nothing short of groundbreaking and brilliant. Furthermore, I would recommend watching this very late at night, sans any type of psychadelics. I'm going to continue on and attempt to explain some of this beauty, but for those already intrigued, just skip it and wait for the film to drop.
The story is simple, Daniel is a pill addict in Alabama (replete with accents and all) who's girlfriend broke up with him. He takes dramamine and other over the counter highs in an attempt to escape the loss, and at times he is unable to distinguish dreams from reality. These dreams more often take the tone of the sinister, if not down-right nightmares which leads us into the visual sequences. The film is well shot with a dark overlay, with the overall feel of masterpieces like Phantasm or Phase IV, but the majority of time is spent in that land of make believe where the whole film could be nothing but a bad trip. And this is where it's hard to explain.
While chatting with a woman, he explains his specious reality problem and talks of ghosts and the viewer is hit with a scream and a vague human face for a split second. While this idea may be nothing new, it's the way it's done which makes it important. Daniel's face will contort, the boundaries pulsing which shifts into some dream sequences flashing vibrantly dull pictures of him and his Ex, only to end in a vortex of confusion and optical illusion. The colors flash on the screen, is it green, red, pink? What corner is it in? In the end it doesn't really matter, it's mesmerizing and should be watched in the dark.
While we get a window into Daniel's past, there are glimpses into some painful moments of other characters which remain unexplained but implies some shared personal torture. There's also a spirit in the house, imagined or real it provides some of the scarier moments and made me wonder if there wasn't something even more evil that lie within our main character.
You're probably wondering, was this a horror film? Simply put, yes, but in the end the terror is only a large aspect of a story akin to a descent into madness, and not the cheap obvious kind, but one so delicately built it it takes you along for the ride. I'd highly recommend this to any film fan, it's breathtaking visuals and realistic, drug induced hell will undoubtedly see many a filmmaker attempt to reproduce it.

Broncos lose Koppen for season
By ARNIE STAPLETON the associated press
Published: July 28, 2013; Last modified: July 28, 2013 09:40PM
ENGLEWOOD — Broncos center Dan Koppen is out for the season after tearing his left ACL on Sunday in 9-on-7 drills, less than six weeks after rejoining Denver following J.D. Walton's setback in his comeback from ankle surgery.
Koppen, an 11-year veteran who played his first nine seasons with the Patriots, was caught in a pile early in the workout and was carted off the field and taken for an MRI, which revealed the season-ending injury.
Manny Ramirez, who took most of the snaps at center during Denver's offseason practices, stepped in for Koppen, whose teams have gone 108-28 in games he has started.

Saga Volume 1 TP (edition 2012)
by Brian K Vaughan
Work details
Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Here is my review of Saga...bear with me I eventually get to the review.
I had my doubts when I first started this, but it is definitely interesting. Not something I would typically read, but I'm trying to branch out.
Saga is a phenomenal sci-fi opera written by Brian K Vaughan (Y the Last Man) and illustrated by Fiona Staples. In both tone and content it is akin to space epics such as Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy, though due to its vast scope and content that may be considered adult it is likely unfilmable. But this is for the best, as I could hardly imagine Vaughan's imaginative universe without Staples' art to bring it to life. Staples' style is clean and bright, with expert attention to detail that adds credibility to this world and takes every opportunity to add something extra for those who take the time to notice.
Essentially a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, Saga tells the tale of two doomed lovers from warring species, as narrated by their newborn daughter years later. In this first volume their action-packed adventure begins, and Alana and Marko embark on a flight for their lives and the life of their daughter.
My experience with reading proper comics is very limited. I've read manga in loads, and recently some graphic novels, also the occasional comic strips. But full-color, comics like these, I think the only one I've read is W.I.T.C.H, from about 10 years ago. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading in this format! The story is very interesting, warning for some "mature" parts I guess, really enjoyed Fiona Staples art. I enjoyed reading this more than I thought I would initially, as the genre really isn't my cup of tea but this might be an exception. Will continue reading this, when I get my hands on the second volume.
This series centered around the relationship between two soldiers from opposite sides is my new obsession. Addictive world building space opera with characters I've become very attached to. Not every hero does good things and not every villain is all bad. It's fantastic!

I have a set of regions (bounding boxes) for some image, example python code:
im = Image.open("single.png")
pix = np.array(im)
gray = rgb2grey(pix)
thresh = threshold_otsu(gray)
bw = closing(gray > thresh, square(1))
cleared = bw.copy()
borders = np.logical_xor(bw, cleared)
label_image = label(borders)
for region in regionprops(label_image, ['Area', 'BoundingBox']):
#now i have bounding boxes in hand
What I would like to do is to merge regions which overlap or the distance between bbox edges is less than
X. Naive approach would be checking distances between all regions, which has O(n2) complexity. I can write something smarter but I have impression that this kind of algorithm already exists and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Any help is appreciated.

You already tried to drive away GDEN stock buyers by telling them this bill wouldn't even get out of committee. How wrong you are.

If they are making $15 per day in Montana, and we share the PA money with a partner, that is where I came up with an estimate of $5 profit per day on each PA machine.
There is nothing special here except hype. Musk is not re-inventing....the next Google.

This invention relates to an installation for intensive vegetable cultivation in a greenhouse, and in particular for plants in containers without an earth substrate, i.e. fed by a sprayed nutrient solution by a method of cultivation otherwise known as "hydroponic". The invention also relates to an improved hydroponic cultivation method for plants in containers, which can be carried out using the aforesaid installation inside greenhouses with a controlled atmosphere.
In modern cultural methods it is known to dispose in greenhouses, suitable containers provided with discharge holes at their base and openings at their top. The root of the plants to be cultivated is usually placed inside said containers, so that their foliage emerges from the openings at the top.
A nutrient environment is created inside said containers for the plant roots, consisting of a liquid which is vaporised, sprayed or simply fed into the container intermittently.
The holes provided in the base of the container can discharge said liquid so that it can be changed and possibly recycled after being possibly regenerated so as to restore its nutrient characteristics.
In the case of roots continuously immersed in the liquid, the liquid is obviously discharged for its possible replacement at predetermined intervals, whereas if the liquid is only sprayed into the container on to the roots, discharge is continuous over predetermined cycles.
This process provides a greenhouse cultivation method known as "hydroponic". However, in carrying out this method practically in the known manner, difficulties arise deriving from the correct metering of the nutrient liquid, its wastage, the excessive overall size of the relative equipment, and lastly the impossibility of giving the plants being cultivated an exact and sufficient exposure to light.
The need to expose the plant to light in itself leads to serious space problems. Although it is known that the light requirement reduces as the plants develop, these problems have not yet found a solution, so making the said hydroponic cultivation method uneconomical or unattainable in many cases.
On the other hand, the need to provide vegetable products during the whole of the year independently of the season, and in particular fruit and green vegetables, means that there is a definite requirement for a continuous cycle installation in which the product can be made available in required and programmable quantities, with a more or less continuous flow.
The need to provide continuous production methods for vegetables also derives from the impossibility of obtaining seasonal or even cyclical labour. In view of the improved constant utilisation of labour, this continuous production also leads to substantial cost reductions.
The present invention provides an installation which overcomes the aforesaid difficulties by providing an improved cultivation method which is both extremely efficient and economical on an industrial scale.
According to the invention, said installation comprises a plurality of containers each consisting of an outer open bottom casing of any shape, provided at its upper edge with suitable outwardly extending lips and corresponding inwardly extending depressions at its lower edge, and which can be stacked on identical containers by partly inserting one into another to form a column, at the surface of which the said lips and depressions form series of axially equidistant coplanar apertures communicating with the outside, and constituting a like number of culture planes.
The invention also provides suitable means for vertically supporting each pile of containers, these means being able to be raised and lowered, and to which each container is fixed individually and independently from the others of the same column.
The invention also provides means for spraying a nutrient solution into the highest container, means for collecting said solution at the bottom of the lowest container after it has traversed all the containers of one column, and means for recycling said solution, possibly after enrichment or regeneration, to the spray nozzles disposed on the highest container.
Furthermore, the engagement means between the individual containers constituting a single column and the support and raising means are such as to enable the lowest container to be easily removed, and to be fitted on top of the highest container. Likewise, the means for supporting, raising and lowering each pile of containers, or column, are at least such as to be able to support the entire column starting from the penultimate container at the bottom, and to be able to lower the entire column through steps equal to the height of one container.
An installation such as that described enables various fruit and vegetables, such as tomatoes, strawberries and similar plants, to be cultivated in a greenhouse or in the open in a suitable climate, by using an improved method comprising the following operations:
setting up at least one vertical column constituted by the said containers on support and raising means;
placing the said spray means for nutrient solution, of known type, at the top of the column or columns;
inserting the plants, taken from the seedling nursery, into the lips in the highest container,
then removing the last container from the base of the column after a certain number of days substantially equal to the total number of days necessary for completing the culture divided by the number of containers constituting each column;
lowering the column by a distance equal to the height of the container;
inserting this latter into the top of the column in the space made available by said lowering, and lastly
placing new plants into said container which is now at the top of the column;
repeating this process until the first container at the top, in which the first plants were placed, has reached the base of the column at the end of the production and maturing cycle.
The process can continue indefinitely in the same manner.
The aforesaid process described in relation to placing the plants at one level or into one container per time, can be carried out by placing the plants into a number of containers, or at a number of levels simultaneously. For example, the plants can be placed into the first two most upper containers, so occupying the two highest levels, the process then proceeding by removing the two lowest containers, then placing them on the top after lowering the column by a distance equal to the total height of two containers, and so on.
The merits and operational and constructional characteristics of the invention will be more apparent from the description given hereinafter of one preferred embodiment, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container;
FIG. 2 is an axial section through this latter on the plane of symmetry of the lips and depressions;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the means for coupling the container to its support cable;
FIG. 4 is a side view of three containers stacked one on the other to form a column portion;
FIG. 5 is a section on the line V--V of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a modular portion of four columns forming part of a line of columns, and their support means, seen laterally;
FIG. 7 is a front view of various lines;
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the spray nozzle at the top of each column;
FIG. 9 shows the filling cycle for any one column of five containers which house plants having a cultivation cycle of 120 days, from the beginning to the end of the cycle.
FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show a container 1 consisting of a middle cylindrical portion 2 and provided upperly with a short slightly flared portion 3 from which four lips 4 extend in equidistant symmetrical positions.
At its base, said container 1 tapers over a short portion 5 which comprises four depressions 6 aligned with the overlying lips 4.
Each container 1 comprises, immediately below the upper flared portion 3, a shaped plate 7 fixed by normal rivets or glued, and acting as a support for a shaped resilient tongue 8. As will be apparent hereinafter, a cable 9 is coupled between said plate 7 and said tongue 8 to act as support and raising means for a column of superimposed containers. Each container also comprises two external hooks 88 on the diameter orthogonal to that comprising the tongue 8, their purpose being explained hereinafter.
Said column, as stated, is constructed by partially inserting any number of containers one into the other as better illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, which show three containers 1 with their relative common support cable 9.
A plurality of parallel lines of vertical columns, each composed of a plurality of containers 1 inserted one into another as illustrated in FIG. 4, is disposed inside a building comprising insulated transparent walls to form a greenhouse and including the normal environmental conditioning means to ensure the required temperature and humidity.
Said building preferably has its axis running from north to south to give better exposure of the plants to light, and the lines of columns are parallel to this axis.
As the building can obviously be constructed in an infinite number of ways, all normal, only the internal equipment of the building will be described here.
It is also apparent that in particularly favourable climates, said equipment can be disposed in the open.
It consists (FIGS. 6, 7 and 8) of a framework of sections 10 which define the lines parallel to the north-south axis of the building or greenhouse. Said framework 10 supports a network of pipes 11 from which the spray nozzles 12 branch downwards, one for each column of superimposed containers.
Each of said spray nozzles (FIG. 8) consists of a pipe 13 closed at its end by a plug 14 and with its wall provided with small bores 15. Said pipe 13, which is resilient, also supports a disc 16 which partly closes the top of the highest container 1 of the column, and acts inter alia as a support for the stems of the plants placed in the container.
On the floor of each building below each column of containers there is disposed a cup-like support 17, the base of which is connected to a discharge manifold 18. Said cup-like support 17 collects the liquid percolating through the column of superimposed containers resting on the support.
The manifold 18 collects the liquid from at least all the columns of the same line of columns, and forms part of a network of manifolds covering the entire building or greenhouse, which discharges the collected liquid into a tank 19 (FIG. 7).
The liquid is withdrawn from the tank 19 by one of more pumps 20, and is continuously recycled thereby to the network of pipes 11 and their spray nozzles 12.
The framework 10 also supports at man height a series of gangways 21 which run along the corridors between one line of columns and the next.
The purpose of the gangways 21 is to facilitate the manual handling of the containers 1 disposed in the upper part of the respective columns of containers.
As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, all the containers of any one column are fixed by the respective resilient tongues 8 and plates 7 to a cable 9, which is stretched between two pulleys 23 and 24 fixed respectively to the framework 10 and floor of the building.
The cables 9 of one or more columns forming part of the same group of columns used for the same culture are connected via further idle pulleys to a winch 25 which is operated by the crank 26 and provided with suitable locking means, to progressively lower the column or columns of the same group as the culture progresses.
In the example illustrated, a group of columns is constituted by a longitudinal line of four columns.
At each level of culture where rendered necessary by the volume of the plants or by the weight of the fruit, each group of columns supports an inclined rectangular mesh 27 which at its base is mounted on coplanar hooks 88, and at its top is supported by hook tie bars 28 which are connected to the edge of containers of the higher level.
The improved method already defined in the initial part of the present patent can be carried out using an installation such as that described.
FIG. 9 shows the successive progressive filling or loading of any one column as the improved cultivation method is carried out.
By way of example, the method is described for plants having a culture cycle of 100 days, carried out over at least one column of containers of five levels of culture, i.e. formed by superimposing five containers.
For said culture, the plants are inserted into the first container A at the top of the column (FIG. 9a).
After 20 days, the lowest container is removed from the column, it is inserted into the top after lowering the column by a distance corresponding to the height of one container, and new plants are inserted into said container B (FIG. 9b). This procedure is repeated at intervals of 20 days until all five containers of the column A-B-C-D-E are full.
After carrying out the last of these operations, a further 20 days are allowed to pass to complete the maturation cycle, after which as the required 100 days have passed, the fruit can be collected at the base of the column directly from the plants of container A which at the beginning of the cycle was at the top (FIG. 9e). After collecting, the usual operation is repeated, and the column, completely filled with plants, assumes the configuration of FIG. 9f. The cycle can obviously continue indefinitely, taking action every 20 days, the plants in each container then maturing every 100 days.
Experiments carried out on tomato plants have shown that in an installation in which the lines of columns are spaced apart by approximately 2 meters and in which the columns of each line are spaced apart by approximately 50 cm and having ten levels of culture, production is of the order of 140-160 kg/m2 per annum, and up to 180 kg/m2 under particularly favourable conditions, with a specific water consumption of approximately 20 liters/kg of product.
Production is in fact more than three times that obtainable in hydroponic cultivations conducted using conventional systems, and water consumption is greatly reduced.
The labour requirement is two persons per 2000 m2 of culture when viewed in plan.
A further advantage of the invention is the complete elimination of Nematoda, which cannot survive with the proposed system, and which at present lead to production losses of 15-20%.

"The reader provides access to materials that a lot of times you just didn't read," said Craig, 51, of Austin, Texas, who was one of about 500 blind people who tested the device over the past few months. "It certainly makes you more independent."

Jail officer faces child porn counts
SoVaNow.com / February 13, 2013An officer at the Meherrin River Regional Jail, Christopher James Vesper, 32, was arrested at his home near Bracey last week and charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography.
He is being held in the Pamunkey Regional Jail under no bond. His next court date is March 5.
Vesper was hired as a jail officer with the Meherrin River Regional Jail in Alberta approximately three months ago, after retiring from the U.S. Army with the rank of Staff Sergeant.
Jail Superintendent Chrystal Willett said that before he was hired, Vesper was thoroughly vetted and his record was clean.
Virginia State Police began investigating Vesper in December after they were contacted by New Jersey law enforcement.
Vesper was arrested by Special Agent M.A. Clark of the Virginia State Police High Tech Crimes Division. However, the case remains under investigation.
Willett said to date, no one from either the Virginia State Police or New Jersey law enforcement has contacted her about Vesper. On the day he was arrested, Monday, Feb. 4, he reported to work but left early, she said. Willett said later that day, she received a phone call notifying her that Vesper was being transported to her facility for lockup. "Since he was a jail officer, we could not have him at this site, and I had him transported instead to Pamunkey."
He has remained there since his arrest, according to Pamunkey officials. Vesper resigned his position with the Meherrin River Regional Jail on February 8.

Deni downs Wagga City
A massive 51-0 win brings the Drovers one step closer to the second division finals.SAM HALL July 8, 2014 8:20am
Scott Francis attempts to run the ball as his teammates keep Wagga City players away at Hardinge St Oval on Saturday.
Deniliquin Drovers stunned Southern Inland Rugby Union powerhouse, Wagga City, with a comprehensive 51-0 drubbing on Saturday.
The locals were far too strong for the Boiled Lollies, running in nine unanswered tries in windy conditions at the Hardinge St Oval.
Loose forward Storm Tamati starred for the Drovers, bagging three tries and claiming the Players' Player mug.
Deniliquin coach Warwick Strong said he was happy with his side's performance, but admitted the locals still have a lot of work to do if they want to qualify for this year's second division finals.
"It was a good result for us against a quality opposition," Strong said.
"The first half was probably a bit of individual brilliance from certain players that saw us score, but we really came together as a team in the second half.
"That was probably the most pleasing thing. It was good to see some of the combinations and plays coming off during the second half."
Five-eighth Sonny Tamati was first to score for the Drovers. The utility back was filling the shoes for captain Nathan Holahan who was a late withdrawal from the game.
Next to score was winger Daniel Veamatahau who found space out wide and ran 50m metres to score in the corner.
Storm Tamati and towering number-eight Scott Francis also bagged five-pointers in the opening term to see their side lead 22-0 at half time.
"We were fortunate that City didn't score in the first half," Strong said.
"They threatened a few times, but we managed to hold on."
Sonny crossed the chalk again shortly after the break to snare his second try of the match, before winger Sam Tuliau and outside centre Reed Jackson both crashed over for the home side.
Storm capped off a brilliant performance with two tries late in the game to see the Drovers run out comfortable winners.
Fullback Shannon Poka finished with three conversions.
"It was really important for us to put in a good performance this week," Strong said.
"We have to keep winning to make finals.
"Next week it starts all over again. We've got a tough away trip to Temora. It's going to be a real test for us."
Francis received the three votes as best player on Saturday, Storm claimed two votes and the Players' Player accolade, while young second-rower Shawn Barnett and Poka shared one vote each.
The under-strength lady Drovers put in a brave performance against Wagga City on Saturday.
Despite being beaten convincingly by their more experienced opponents, the local ladies continue to gain respect in their first season.

Welcome to Sanctuary Counseling Group
Sanctuary (n): from the Latin sanctus or holy; 1) a sacred or holy place; 2) a place of refuge or safety, a haven; 3) shelter from danger, hardship, or threat.
Sanctuary Counseling Group—formerly known as Methodist Counseling and Consultation Services—has provided mental health counseling and pastoral counseling in the greater Charlotte area and in satellite offices in cities and towns around the western piedmont of North Carolina for over 50 years. To learn more about us and the kinds of services we provide, or to find out how to make an appointment with a therapist in your geographical area, feel free to contact us. We would love to hear from you.
Setting Boundaries With Teens
Very often, during our life, we find ourselves in situations that require us to identify what we are comfortable with and where our personal limits lie. Parents can be essential in helping children and teens identify this "property line" for their own lives, to insure that they grow up to be healthy, independent adults. Your main task as a parent is to help your child develop inside, what you have been providing on the outside, including responsibility, self-control and freedom. These limits are known as "boundaries" and are essential for healthy character development, as parents keep one eye on their child's future. Children are not born with boundaries, but begin to internalize this concept from external relationships and discipline. For example, if children do not endure consequences from negative choices they make, they will not have an appropriate view of reality and how these choices will impact their lives in the future.
According to psychologist, Lawrence Kohlberg's Moral Development stages, prior to the age of twelve, children have not internalized the concept of treating others the way they want to be treated, nor do they have the insight to understand the impact of their choices. When parents implement appropriate rewards and consequences, children begin to develop healthy morals and character qualities.
Between the ages of twelve and eighteen, teens are in the final stage of solidifying their own identity as distinct from their parent's identity. As a result, parents should enter the stage of "de-parenting", meaning moving from a position of control to a position of influence with their teens. During this phase of life, parents should provide teens with as many natural consequences as possible. These forms of consequences may be repayment for items lost or broken, or the loss of privilege to hang out with friends if their chores are not complete.
Many problems can occur for adults who did not experience appropriate boundaries with their parents. These include the inability to say "No" to hurtful people or set limits on hurtful behavior from others. These adults can also suffer from destructive impulses, due to having parents that constantly gave into their desires and did not teach them to delay gratification. Maintaining closeness with others and resolving conflict in a healthy way can also be difficult for those who didn't experience appropriate boundaries growing up. For example, parents should strive to let siblings try to resolve their own conflict with one another, before they step in, so that children can hone this skill for future relationships.
Parents can begin setting boundaries with their teens in four basic steps. The first and most important step for building a relationship with your teen is to let them know you are on their side. Parents in the midst of conflict with their teenager usually omit this step and miss an important opportunity for closeness and validation of their teen's perspective. Parents who let their teen know that the boundaries they are setting up are for their teen's benefit, safety and protection can help calm and support the needs of their child.
The second step is for parents to let teens know that they have established set rules and requirements. This step identifies specific boundaries for teens as parents make their expectations clear.
The third step should empower the teen's choice as parents let their children know that they can choose to accept or reject the rules. This allows for teens to gain insight into the future impact of their choices. Parents should recognize that due to the fact that their teen's brain still in the midst of developing, this isn't a skill that comes naturally to them.
The fourth and final step to setting boundaries with teens is for the parents to offer an explanation of the consequences that will occur if their teen should choose not to comply with their parent's rules and limits. Parents must follow through with the consequences they warned their teen about in order for teens to truly understand and internalize their own boundaries.
We live in a society that promotes instant gratification and rarely supports parents setting and sticking to limits and boundaries with their children. It is imperative that parents recognize the danger in avoiding consequences for their teen's choices. Healthy boundaries will give children and teens an appropriate view of reality, along with aiding in the development of strong character qualities, responsibility and independence in their adult lives.

Karnataka mulls legal steps on Hogenakkal project
Bangalore: Karnataka is contemplating
taking legal action against Tamil Nadu for "deviating" from
the original plan on the Hogenakkal drinking water project and
on the issue of utilisation of water, state Water Resources
Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Monday.
"The very location of the project is itself in
question. As against utilisation of 1.7 tmc feet of water
envisaged in the original plan, now it has been increased to
2.4 tmc feet," he told reporters here.
He said Tamil Nadu had earlier stated that the project
would provide drinking water to 30 lakh people, but had now
revised it to 45 lakh, in "violation" of the original plan.
Moreover, Tamil Nadu was also transferring water from
Cauvery basin to Pennar basin through this project, which is
against inter-state river water disputes act, he alleged.
Bommai alleged that Tamil Nadu has defied the Centre`s
directive to stick to the original plan and had not evinced
interest in holding parleys to sort out the contentious
He recalled that Karnataka Chief Minister B S
Yeddyurappa had indicated during unveiling of a statue of
saint-poet Sarvajna in Chennai last year that chief
secretaries of both states would meet for talks on the
Hogenakkal issue. However, no such meeting had taken place so
far, he said.
The minister said he would also meet the state`s legal
team to discuss various options.
Bommai, who will leave for Delhi tomorrow, said he
would call on Union Water Resources Minister to seek his
intervention to direct Tamil Nadu to adhere to the "original

I am glad I used P&O Ferries as everything was as it should be.

Downsize are higher prices on the ship and too cold temp in the cabin during the night - thermostats did not worked.

The English city of Hull, or Kingston upon Hull to give it its official name, is located in the ceremonial county of the East Riding of Yorkshire, in the north east of England. The city, and its port, lies on the banks of the River Hull where it meets the Humber estuary, around 40 km from the North Sea. The city's history dates back to the 12th century where the monks of Meaux Abbey needed a port in order to export the wool they gathered from their estate.
The Hull of today is very different from the Hull of the past and has undergone a transformation in recent years. The city was declared the UK City of Culture for 2017. The city's cultural and sporting heritage are clear for everyone to see. In the city, visitors should visit the Old Town and Museum Quarter, Hull Marina and The Deep, which is an aquarium located at Sammy's Point. From a sporting perspective the city is home to a Premier League football team, Hull City Football Club, and a Super League Rugby team, Hull FC Rugby Club.
Ferries from the town's port depart to Rotterdam/Europort in The Netherlands, with a crossing time of between 10 and 11 hours. There is also a service to Zeebrugge in Belgium, with a crossing time of around 14 hours and a weekly service to Hamina in Finland.
The Dutch city of Rotterdam is the second largest city in The Netherlands, after Amsterdam, and will offer visitors a unique appearance as most of its buildings are post war after most of its buildings were damaged or destroyed during the Second World War. Recent development projects in Rotterdam have transformed the city and provided it with a new lease of life. Rotterdam has new stylish architecture to see and structures such as the Euromast, with its elevated panoramic restaurant, is definitely one not to miss. There are many cultural attractions in the city to enjoy and include the Museumpark which is where many of the city's museums are located. Also one not to miss is the Kunsthal Art Gallery which is one of the best galleries in the city, with many exhibitions held year, and is located at the southern end of the Museum Park.
Also in the city is the Maritime Museum, which celebrates The Netherlands' rich maritime history and contains many interesting exhibits including some interesting models. There is also the Openlucht Binnenvaart Museum which houses a large collection of historic waterway boats and is situated close to the Mariniers Museum, on the Wijnhaven.
Ferry services from Rotterdam depart to Hull in the UK.

Apple agrees to pay $32.5M to customers in FTC settlement over in-app purchases
Apple is to refund "at least" $32.5 million to customers who complained their children made in-app purchases without permission, the US Federal Trade Commission has announced .
Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed the settlement decision to his staff in a memo. That memo has now leaked online, giving an inside look at what the executive really thinks about the situation. He said Apple had already refunded in-app purchases to parents last year (approximately 37,00 claims refunded), and that a federal judge had ruled Apple's actions a full settlement.
"Then the FTC got involved and we faced the prospect of a second lawsuit over the very same issue," Cook said. "It doesn't feel right for the FTC to sue over a case that had already been settled. To us, it smacked of double jeopardy.
"However, the consent decree the FTC proposed does not require us to do anything we weren't already going to do, so we decided to accept it rather than take on a long and distracting legal fight."
The FTC opened an inquiry simply because it didn't approve of the lack of clarity surrounding in-app purchases. Customers were not explicitly told how in-app purchases and passwords worked together. Parents could enter their password, for instance, and then their child would have a 15-minute window to pick up that device and make in-app purchases without having to re-enter a password. This resulted in many parents receiving huge bills.
READ: Apple, Samsung's CEOs will meet in February in hope of settling patent dispute
The FTC said in a statement that the lack of clarity over in-app purchases violated the FTC Act. The regulatory body even quoted an example where one child spent $2,600 without permission in the app Tap Pet Hotel. Consumers have reported millions of dollars in unauthorised charges to Apple.
Apple not only has to pay again but will now also have to make its billing practices more clear. In addition, Apple will have to give any unclaimed balance of the $32.5 million to the FTC after a year.
