Apple Inc. (AAPL) was incorporated in 1977. Presently, the company is responsible for the design, manufacture and marketing of a wide range of media mobile communication devices, the Apple Macintosh computers and portable digital music and video players. Its devices run on customized software unique to the company. These software include the iOS on which Apple's mobile devices run, the OS X on which the Mac range of computers run, as well as several software for its server and applications.
Apple is known by several of its groundbreaking products which are listed as follows:
a) iPhone
Perhaps no product can be better described as the face of the modern Apple than the iPhone, which can best be described as a combination of Apple's iPod, a phone as well as an Internet device. This smartphone presently has 6 versions, with each new version driving the phone-loving public into buying frenzies that frequently see stores running out of millions of devices within hours of launch. Launched in 2006, sales of the iPhone alone have consistently driven the revenues of Apple northwards in the last 5 years.
b) iPad
The iPad is a multi-purpose mobile device that comes in the form of a hand-held tablet. It performs the same functions as the iPhone and also revolutionized the tablet device market on its release.
c) Mac
The Mac was the company's first computer product and has undergone various improvements since Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built the first version in the 70s. There are the desktop versions (iMac, Mac Pro & Mac mini) as well as the portable versions (MacBook Pro & Air).
Other products Apple is noted for are
d) iPod, which is a port able digital media and music player.
e) iTunes: An application store which enables users purchase, download and playback digital audio and video files.
f) Mac App Store: this is where applications for the Mac can be downloaded and installed.
g) iCloud: This is Apple's cloud storage service.
h) The App Store, which is where mobile apps for the iPhone and iPad can be purchased and sold.
Interesting Facts About Apple Inc
Apple's success which has seen it leave its major competitors in the dust (save for Google of course) is innovation. The ability to create revolutionary new products and sell same to a mass market has seen the company become arguably the most valuable company in the world. It recently launched a new "smart" product known as the smart watch. Apple has also launched a smart TV, and there seems to be no end to the ability of the company to create and sell new products.
The uniqueness of Apple's products is that they are able to create several other markets and businesses that can generate income not just for the company but also for those whose line of work is centred around the company's many products. For instance, the creation of the iPhone and iPad has spun-off a very vibrant mobile apps market which is presently worth billions of dollars. Programmers are making money developing apps for entrepreneurs and themselves and several online courses and offline academies have sprung up to teach people how to create apps. Apple's value cannot be truly quantified.
What Does the Future Hold for Apple's Investors?
A certain article published by CNN Money puts it aptly: "Apple's massive rise in stock price from $5 to $130 in a decade is benefiting everyone from college kids to retirees". There is the story of a Chinese American couple that invested $10,000 into Apple stock and have now become millionaires. Stories of ordinary people who did nothing else but put their money into Apple stock and become financial comfortable a few years down the road abound.
Apple is a stock that is great for value investing. As long as the company keeps coming up with new products as well as powerful enhancements to the existing ones in a way that thrills a mass audience, then the company will keep bringing value to those who invest in it.

So are these Indian blanket flowers...
One early morning, I took out the long lens that I hardly use, and caught this view from my patio. It is a merged view of the bromeliad corner and my container area at the patio. There actually is a little gravel path between the corner and patio. Do you see my effort of "Vertical" gardening with that bromliad wreath attached on the fence on the back? The pink Angel's trumpet (Brugmansia) on the back was the result of my stucking a branch trimmed off my other Angel's trumpet into the ground last year. Now it has become a small tree!
Here is the view of the west backyard flower bed looking towards the bromeliad corner, you can see both white and pink Angel's trumpets blooming in this picture. Loving the colors shown in this picture, so Spring!
Oh, want to show you a picture of this same area that I took one month ago. Do you see that big rosemary in front of the Orange Marmalade Crossandra? That was a small plant in six inch container that I started from seed about one year ago. As you know me, I can not stand any bare spot in the garden, and love to squeeze plants here and there, so I decided to stuck that young plant in that location. Now one year later, it becomes huge, and blocked the view of the three Orange Marmalade Crossandras that are major focal point of this flower bed. I moved the rosemary somewhere else in the garden, now it looked better :)
Mealycup sage started blooming again once the weather warmed up. It has my favorite color of blue/purle, I expect it will become even more prolific in the next several months.

Frankie and Stankie (2003)
by Barbara Trapido
Booker Prize (135)
Biggest Disappointments (227)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I loved The Traveling Hornplayer by the same author so decided to try this novel despite the iffy title. I struggled to care about the characters, in part because there is no real dialogue- it's all descriptions of interactions. Is that 3rd-person limited narration? Anyway, stuck with it and it has some great moments so not sorry I did.
This is the story of Dinah, a South African girl of Dutch-German heritage from birth in the 1950s to young adulthood as she finds her own character and path.
There are many themes in the book, from race to gender, and puberty to sex and education to work. Dinah grew up in a period when race laws were ever tightening while protests were breaking out, not only in the segregated communities, but also at universities. Indeed it is at uni that Dinah really comes face to face with racial politics as '60s South Africa is set to explode. Dinah's family is liberal, though not actively against the racial policies, and through her candid comments, me can see how colour lines are clearly drawn.
Trapido also shares an insider's view of the complicated relationships which make up girlhood. With her sister, Lisa, being close in age, Dinah has her first friendship. As Dinah goes to school and becomes more independent, she starts to form bonds of her own, though at first she is usually the passive partner. Her classmates, while all female, come from different backgrounds: social, economic, religious and linguistic. As primary school children, these differences are not important, but the move to different secondaries puts the girls on paths that will lead them further from each other. What is also clear, were the lack of options for women at the time, with few careers open to them.
I also enjoyed the portrayal of the school system, from classroom dictators to "chalk and talk", cut with rather tame pranks. I am sure that the characters will be recognisable to anyone who went to school!
The narrator grows up with the text, so observations made when she was a child are from the point of view of her 10-year-old self. It is then left up to the reader, with help from the author, to interpret these comments, to put them in context and read between the lines. At times this makes the text rather dense, but never tedious. Readers unfamiliar with South African history shouldn't worry as Trapido fills in the social background to the book.
I have been reading quite a few South African authors lately, so I was inevitable led me to compare Frankie and Stankie with Youth by J.M. Coetzee, another recent read. Apart from gender, what sets the books apart is that this book gives us both the personal and wider contexts. Frankie and Stankie is not only a good Bildungsroman, but is also interesting for its well-depicted back drop.
Seductive, funny, heartbreaking.
This is a wonderfully written book which allows us to take a peek at what it was like to live in South Africa during the 50's.
Loved this book - well written detail from a childs point of view growing up as a white in apartheid S Africa

Dinah and her sister Lisa are growing up in South Africa in the fifties. It is at school that Dinah first learns about racism. As we follow Dinah from childhood, through adolcescence and marriage, to voluntary exile in London, we get a vivid glimpse of one of the darker passages of 20th century history.… (more)

WSU, Spokane Alliance lay ground for mobile medical clinic
April 25, 2018 -- The Spokesman-Review -- To create a Spokane-based mobile clinic, WSU has partnered with the Spokane Alliance, a group of roughly 30 churches, nonprofits and other community organizations. The alliance will have community forums and gather feedback from stakeholders through the end of the summer. Some ideas that already have been proposed are bringing the clinic, along with interpreters, to neighborhoods with a large number of Russian and Slavic residents, providing care around Spokane's homeless shelters and treating people in rural areas of the county, said Dave Kovac, secretary for the Spokane Firefighters Union, a member of the alliance.

To commemorate the nomination, I have released WorkItOut 1.4 and finally fixed all of the bugs identified. Voting begins Monday, August 10th, and I will post more information as I come across it.
HowdyFebruary 26, 2009
My full time job is as a project manager coordinating the development of an Android app. I thought it would be neat to give myself a small project to learn more about the Android API and better understand what goes through the minds of the developers. I am not a coder by any means, but creating something from scratch and having (or attempting to have) full control over it has been fascinating.
I decided to write this app mostly for myself, in the past I have used the notepad app on my sidekick, blackberry, G1 to keep track of only my most current weights for each exercise. But this really didn't give me the ability to see how far I'd come nor was it a motivation factor.
I released the app on the marketplace just for kicks. So far the app has over 6000 users and almost 20000 downloads. I have received emails and suggestions from all over which have me very excited about the many possibilities and directions this little app could go.
I am also new to the blogging world, so this is my attempt at sharing my experiences to whoever is out there reading.

Many of us think of springtime as the best time for gardening. And typically it is. If you live somewhere with four seasons, you've been cooped up for months, Pinteresting about tips requiring an eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog, you're certainly ready to till up some soil and make plants grow.
But with some effort and know-how, autumn can most definitely be the new spring. Or at the very least you don't have to spend the entire fall hacking down unruly tomato plants, untangling squash jungles, and pawning off your zucchini harvest on unsuspecting urbanites.
Knowing your zone is a good place to start when deciding what you can plant in the fall. Not sure about your growing season? The USDA Zone Finder is a helpful tool. Simply enter your zip code and get a general idea when you can expect a typical frost and what plants you should plant and when. Sproutrobot.com can also help you decide when to plant what and is self-explanatory and user-friendly.
Generally, keep an eye out for seed packets indicating a seed-to-table growing season of 40 days of less. Spinach, mustard, arugula, turnips, radishes, and Asian greens such as tatsoi and mizuna are good options. Spinach and kale are some of the hardiest of fall harvest vegetables. And when shopping for seeds -- or perusing the seeds you have left from your spring planting extravaganza -- look for plants with the quickest growing seasons, particularly beets, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, radish, and cauliflower. Also, planting in the heat of the summer can help jumpstart vegetables that mature better in milder fall temperatures. Think of it as spring in reverse. Those plants that did well in the cool spring months but waned in the heat? Well, they have a second chance in the fall.
Container gardening can also help with the transition from summer to fall. Because gardening isn't just about having a bountiful harvest. Sometimes, it's about having good curb appeal. And we don't all want to carve jack-o-lanterns. Container gardening takes on a whole new meaning in the autumn months. And according to a recent Baltimore Sun article, mums aren't the only flower you can enjoy in the fall, though they tend to bloom late and you can choose from an array of colors, including white, russet, rose, gold, bronze, and purple, to name a few. Also good to note, mums grow as perennials in Zone 6 or warmer. Other options include heuchera, also known as coral bells.
Succulents and edibles such as sage, parsley and mini peppers can add a pop of lushness in containers as well. And when you consider what type of container to use, don't think you have to stick with the traditional pot. You can hollow out pumpkins and gourds and fill them with pops of colorful flora for a unique look on your porch, patio, or veranda.
Also be on the lookout for late blooming perennials, such as Silver Lace Vine, a relatively hardy vine that tends to bloom in the late summer and well into fall when many perennials have begun their change from flourishing to dormant. I find that having a few shrubs and trees requiring minimal care that provide maximum aesthetics throughout the seasons encourages me to keep the rest of the yard and outdoor entertainment areas looking their best.
Herbs can also up the ante in the fall. You could consider most of them weeds because of their hardiness, but because of their usefulness, you shouldn't. One late bloomer to consider is pineapple sage, as the bright red blossoms in the fall liven up herb gardens. Chives prove to be durable as well, as does rosemary, marjoram, and sage. Quite honestly, herbs are my favorite part of gardening. Basically, they're weeds with a purpose. And we all know weeds grow, well, like weeds.
While many of us consider fall the time to lag on yard work until the last leaf has fallen from the biggest tree, you can still push your enjoyment of the growing season to the utmost. This also gives you the upper hand in keeping up with Jones's. Plus you get to admire your hard work for a few extra months when you dabble at fall gardening projects.

Cancer researchers in the UK have discovered a way to turn colchicine from the crocus flower into a new treatment that acts like a smart bomb to target cancerous tumors. Colchicine is naturally toxic to the human body, but it is also well-known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. The team of researchers created a delivery system that allows the chemical to travel through the body with its toxic properties switched off. Once it arrives at the cancer site, an enzyme in the tumor naturally reactivates the colchicine. The chemical then goes to work cutting off blood supply to the tumor in order to starve it.
The research team involved with the study is based out of the Institute for Cancer Therapeutics at the University of Bradford in the UK. The researchers set out to find a way to use the healing properties of the crocus without unnecessarily harming the patient being treated. In research with mice, the scientists discovered that 100% of the subjects reacted to the treatment, and in half of the cases the animals appeared to be cured of their cancer.
The treatment is effective only on cancers that cause tumors — so far they've treated breast, colon, lung, prostate and sarcoma tumors successfully — because it actually works to cut off the blood supply to the tumor by killing the veins and arteries that feed it. At this time no side effects have been noted in the mice being treated and a clinical trial is expected to begin in about 18 months.

The long-running Syrian humanitarian crisis has been filled with moments of sadness and manifested moments of hope. But one thing that's definitely true is that the five-plus-year civil war has left millions displaced or living without shelter.
And Syria can, during its winters, can get very cold — making those points painfully apparent to those without a proper roof over their heads.
That's what makes a new campaign ad from Unicef United Kingdom so heartbreaking to watch, but inspiring in its ambition to help. In it, a young Syrian girl walks around what looks to be a post-apocalyptic refugee camp. She soon discovers and begins taking care of a teddy bear, a toy millions of children around the world cherish and love without inhibition.
But as the mostly nonverbal clip progresses, we see that the girl is starting to get colder in the rapidly decreasing temperatures. It's then that the teddy bear reciprocates the love of the girl — but in a way that requires sacrifice on both their parts.
The powerful ad, produced by Saatchi and Saatchi in London, encourages viewers to contribute to providing warmth for those in need.
"Unicef has launched its largest ever appeal to provide urgent humanitarian aid to children and families affected by the crisis in Syria," the organization's site says. "Unicef is delivering life-saving food, clean water and vaccines, as well as providing warm winter clothing and blankets. In 2015, in Syria alone, Unicef supplied 1 million children with clothing kits, thermal blankets, school heating or vouchers for winter supplies. This winter, even more children need our help."
You can visit Unicef UK's website to learn more and see how you can help.
And you can see the tear-jerking ad below:

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services
WALTHAM , Mass. – Aug. 13, 2008 – Wolters Kluwer Financial Services announced today the launch of its new Cost Basis Reporting Resource Center, located online at www.costbasisreporting.com. The Resource Center is the company's latest tool to help the financial services community prepare for the pending cost basis reporting legislation in Congress, providing news and updates related to the proposed legislation, insight from financial and legal experts who are continually monitoring its developments in Congress, and information about technology that can help them prepare for the legislation.
The pending legislation would require financial organizations to report adjusted basis information for securities to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and to their clients—a challenging task due to complex corporate actions that make it difficult to calculate the basis of stocks and securities. The sheer number of taxpayers that would require this service from their financial organizations would make the task even more difficult.
The Resource Center includes news articles and white papers about the potential legislation and its requirements, as well as key areas of concern for brokerages and other financial organizations as they prepare for the changes. The site also helps firms take steps to assess the capabilities of their current cost basis systems, and provides insight from experts at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services' Capital Changes and GainsKeeper.
"The new Resource Center helps the financial community gain a better understanding of the pending cost basis legislation and the various factors that affect a firm's ability to properly handle cost basis calculations," said Richard Ryndak, manager of international content development at Capital Changes, a recognized leader in corporate actions tax analysis and cost basis tracking.
"Based on proposed effective dates for cost basis reporting requirements, brokers, return preparers, tax advisors and taxpayers will likely have less than two years to prepare," said Stevie Conlon, tax director for GainsKeeper, which provides sophisticated tax lot accounting services to financial organizations, advisors and individual investors. "That isn't much time when you consider provisions of the legislation and the data and technology that firms will need to meet the requirements. If firms are up to speed on the pending legislation and assess their readiness now, they can prevent significant penalties for noncompliance down the road."

You know, this will go down on your permanent record
File this under 'Stupid things that make me giggle, stupidly.' But for some reason, I always get a laugh when someone mis-spells something in the title field of a blog-entry, and that title is then used to auto-generate the filename (and hence, the URL) for that entry.
Inevitably, the poster will then notice his or her error, go back into the entry and fix it... but the typo will live forever in the permalink to the article. Like this little nugget: Google Deprecates Their SOAP Search API.
Is there a lesson to be learned here? Not by me there isn't!

Plank Notes: Carter Back, Callahan Out and More
- Updated: November 20, 2007
Despite the Pirates losing a tough game at home to the Wolf Pack on Sunday, they had a strong run, grabbing five out of the possible eight points over the the last week.
(I'll have more on that later)
The Ducks were busy yesterday as they completed a trade for former Pirate Brian Sutherby from the Washington Capitals for a second-round pick in 2009. As a result, look for the Ducks to announce that Ryan Carter has been reassigned to the Portland Pirates.
Joe Callahan will be out at least one month with a right foot fracture.
Geoff Platt currently made an impression on the coaching staff, collecting three goals and three assists for six points in his first three games in a Pirates uniform.
Former Pirate Ryan Getzlaf has signed a multi-year extension with the Anaheim Ducks. The deal is for five-years and worth an estimated 26.5 million over the life of the deal. It was speculated that Getzlaf could be on the move if Brian Burke and his agent Gerry Johannson couldn't get a deal done. Anaheim and Toronto had been having discussions and it was believed they had a strong interest in Getzlaf.

Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave (1976)
America Bangmungaeg
Bruce Lee slår tillbaka
The Stranger
Nomination Year: 2010
SYNOPSIS: Bruce Lee Does Not Appear In This Film, although Bruce Lea does. Nobody actually fights back from the grave, though. That confused us for a bit before we realized that the title was an outright lie (as opposed to the usual subtle lie).
Some of the "high" points include:
Bruce Lea makes these weird noises when he fights. "Did Pac-man just die in the next room?" type noises. Although I blame that on the over-enthusiastic Foley artists. When Bruce (and the camera) are in one room, looking out through a sliding glass door, across a balcony, down at a woman walking on the far side of a swimming pool, and we can hear her shoes CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOPping clear as day ... that's too much Foley. Too much Foley in the fight scenes, too much Foley in the chase scenes, and I'm sure if we'd had any love scenes -- I'm sorry, my brain just shut off.
Wong (Bruce) arrives in America, but when he visits the dojo belonging to a friend, he discovers that the friend has just recently been killed by (apparently) The Village People. Seriously, he is told that his buddy was last seen alive in the company of "a Japanese, a White, a Black, a Mexican, and a Cowboy."
So he goes off in search of these men, and gets picked up by a waitress. This waitress is a lot like Daphne from Scooby-Doo, always getting into trouble, being beaten up, and so on. At one point, Wong has to nurse her back to health from the brink of death via a loving acupuncture sequence. He then borrows her car. It gets stolen. A parade randomly passes through. Finally (finally!) he has his showdown with The Village People.
The back cover reads "He eventually finds the bad guys behind it all, and they live to regret it." This is another blatant lie. All the bad guys behind it die pretty much right after he finds them. Nobody regrets anything. Except me, for watching the movie. And Amy, for watching it with me.
- Worst Cover Copy
Not the Wong cover.
On the front cover is a picture of ... well, if it's our guy, let's just say that he's not on the cover in any location where he is in the film. Now ... on to the back cover. It reads, in its entirety: "A lightning bolt striking the grave of Bruce Lee, bringing him back for action. Bruce Lee, plays a kung fu instructor who starts a quest to avenge a friend's death, and on the way gets romantically involved with a girl that has similar problems. He eventually finds the bad guys behind it all, and they live to regret it."
So, apart from the bad grammar, we have a few other minor quibbles. The actor is Bruce Lea, not Bruce Lee. Maybe they meant the character? Nope, the character is named Wong something. He's not a kung fu instructor. Never was. He does eventually find the bad guys behind it all, but nobody lives to regret anything. Except Wong. And us.
- "Cutting Butter With A Chainsaw"
Just had to be sure?
The Cowboy fires off camera ... a lot. He accidentally shoots his buddy ... a lot. I wonder why he didn't think to change his aim after firing the first shot....
- Actors/Directors of Note
Actor Claim to Fame Bruce Lea given name is Jun Chong, but you can probably guess who he looks like Deborah Dutch Jang Lee Hwang former taekwondo instructor of the Korean Army Shô Kosugi One of the most famous martial artists on film; Hosts his own "Ninja Theater" series of movies
Director Claim to Fame Doo-yong Lee also wrote Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave

Veteran's Surge to End Homelessness: Get Trained to Help
Get trained to help find homeless veterans as part of Central Florida's effort to end homelessness.
In collaboration with the local Veteran's Affairs (VA) and Homeless Services Network (HSN), a "surge" outreach initiative will take place to locate every homeless veteran in Central Florida. The "surge" count will take place across the region during the week of July 20.
Over the next couple of weeks, a tremendous effort will be underway to train volunteers and then perform a large-scale community point-in-time count (surge) of homeless individuals with the goal of creating a registry and identifying veterans. Community advocates will lead hundreds of volunteers in this effort to identify homeless veterans in need.
Your participation is needed - join our partners with Rethink Homelessness and the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness as we take action.
Training will take place the week of July 13 in anticipation of the surge the following week. To choose your training session and get involved, visit rethinkhomelessness.org or call 321-710-4663 x2.

Rob Drummond: Wrestling fuses pro wrestling, short film and theatre
- Lauren Mayberry
- 26 January 2011
Playwright, actor and director's play about a pacifist who decides to 'man up'
Those unfamiliar with choke slams and half nelsons may only associate wrestling with spandex, muscly men and the career salvation of Mickey Rourke. Yet playwright, actor and director Rob Drummond hopes to change that with his latest, and most ambitious, project, Rob Drummond: Wrestling.
The Glaswegian, known for his performances in Sixteen and Bullet Catch at the Arches and Mr Write at the Tron in previous years, has fused pro wrestling with short film and theatre into a semi-autobiographical 'play' about a pacifist who decides to 'man up'.
'I've been into wrestling since I was eight years old and never grew out of it,' Drummond says. 'Ever since I got into theatre professionally, I've wanted to do something like this, as wrestling lends itself well to the theatrical. It's almost like aggressive dance.'
The show – funded by Creative Scotland's Vital Spark Award – was almost sidelined when 28-year-old Drummond dislocated his elbow during training with Scottish Wrestling Alliance trainers in December but will debut at The Arches in mid-February.
The final cast includes trainer 'Damo' Damien O'Conor, training partner 'The Antagonist' James Tyler and wrestler 'The Mercenary' Joe Coffey, besides Drummond himself (who as yet has no stage/ring pseudonym).
Arches, Glasgow, Wed 9–Sun 13 Feb

Named scholarships
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of Akron is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today's students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
The need for scholarships grows each year, however, as students continue to face an increased financial burden in pursuit of a college degree. In fact, 94 percent of today's baccalaureate students borrow to pay for college – versus just 45 percent in 1993. Across the country, the average college-related debt for borrowers in the class of 2016 was $37,172; for Ohio students, that figure was $30,239.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to the MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND MOVING FORWARD scholarship campaign, which is the University's most important initiative. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of Akron, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
This is not the page to apply for scholarships.
Students who want to apply for scholarships should visit the scholarship page on the Financial Aid site.
The Department of Development does not accept applications for or distribute scholarships. Scholarships are distributed through the University's Office of Student Financial Aid.

Coleman, Lester E. and Kathleen A. Chair
Dr. Lester E. Coleman graduated from The University of Akron in 1952 with a bachelor's degree in chemistry. He proceeded to obtain a master's degree and Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Illinois. Dr. Coleman joined Lubrizol Corporation in 1955 as a research chemist and eventually ascended to Chairman and CEO. He held more than 30 U.S. patents and 85 foreign patents and authored 50 magazine articles and magazine publications. Mrs. Coleman has served as a trustee for Hiram College and has been very involved in the Cleveland community.
The Lester E. and Kathleen A. Coleman Chair was created in 2002 by The Lester E. and Kathleen A. Coleman Foundation and a matching contribution from The GAR Foundation. The endowment provides the University with annual financial support for the recruitment and retention of a senior scientist of recognized stature and national reputation in the field of chemistry, with preference given to those concentrating their work in the synthesis or spectroscopic characterization of macromolecular materials. The endowment will fortify interdisciplinary research within the University and will promote interactions between regional and national colleges and universities, government agencies, and other organizations involved in chemistry and polymer science.

text: Timo posted this on the Roadster blog: I remembered my vague estimations about how fast 250HP roadster could go. In that thread I came up with about 160mph in appropriate third gear. Some time ago we also learned that Tesla had to limit the top speed to 125mph because of adequate cooling as current motor is air cooled. I understand there may not be enough space around for effectively aircooling it while constantly running above 120+kW. Liquid cooling? In that therad someone mentioned that ESS is not capable of constantly outputting more than 120kW. Did we learn something that says otherwise?

I'm idly curious as to whether or not there's a more offensive show on television than Two and a Half Men. (At least on free-too-air Australian TV – but then, we have plenty of our own crap.) It offends many groups – men, women, ex-wives, their new husbands, fathers, mothers, their offspring, oh, and alcoholics. I ended up watching an episode yesterday thanks to my brother, and it actually seems to have gotten worse from the last time I caught it.
So younger brother Alan – who, don't forget, was so screwed over by his ex-wife Judith and her crippling alimony payments that he's had to move in with his brother Charlie and has spent the last however many years leeching off him – is involved with the much-younger Candy. I could overlook the fact that Candy appears young enough to be Alan's daughter – after all, Modern Family tackled that same issue with intelligence and maturity – if she had anything going for her as a person. But she appears to have chosen a life of willful ignorance and her sole purpose in life seems to be to get Alan to pay for stuff – a new car when hers breaks, extensive dental work, and finally moving in with him when her housemate moves out and she can't afford to pay the rent on her own. Does she not have her own job? Is her sole purpose in life to get men to pay for her stuff? It didn't bother me so much that Alan paid for all that stuff – I've taken a short-term loan from my own partner to pay for tuition and paid him back in installments – but that Candy seemed to expect that the man in her life, well, fund her life, and Alan, while reluctant, acquiesced.
Anyway, Alan's bankrolled all these expenses by exhausting his savings and selling his brother's things on e-bay. (Charlie hasn't kicked him out by now… why?) Meanwhile, Charlie's rolling his eyes and making wisecracks at what a loser Alan is for going even deeper into debt for a woman who has nothing to recommend for her other than a young body.
I'm not sure what the Powers That Be behind TaaHM thought they were saying. I suspect it was that haha, isn't it funny, women are money-grubbing bitches who use sex, the law and whatever other underhanded means they can get their filthy mits on to castrate men and bleed them dry. The thing is, while I had zero respect for Candy for apparently relying on sex to get men to fund her lifestyle (and seriously, how often does that happen in real life? I'll wait for y'all to find an example. A real example that you have personally witnessed, not a friend-of-a-friend story or something you saw on TV) I had even less for Alan, an apparently intelligent guy, for thinking with his penis to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. This is the patriarchy that's all-superior to women?
*And just for extra laughs, Charlie, after one too many blackouts, decides to give up drinking. Excluding beer, which apparantly beer isn't alcoholic. Because, heehee, isn't Charlie-the-alcoholic just so funny. At this point, though, Charlie was the only one in the show I came even close to respecting. At least the guy has some grasp of the fact he's an alcoholic who uses women and he doesn't leech off anyone. Yeah, that's the kind of caliber show this is, that the lead male is a misogynistic, womanising alcoholic but at least he can fund his own lifestyle.
So here with have a man whose steretyped bitch of an ex-wife bled him dry in the divorce and continues to bleed him dry in the form of alimony payments (aren't they supposed to stop when the spouse remarries?) to a point he has to leech of his brother for seven years. Then he hooks up with a woman young enough to be his daughter and sinks even further into debt to pay for stuff that any self-respecting person, man or woman, would rather pay for it themselves by working – honest day's work and all that. I realise that sometimes, people aren't in a position to pay their own way, but the impression I got from Candy was that she wasn't willing, and that she expected the man in her life to do it. It's the old, ugly stereotype of 'airhead exchanges sex for stuff', and one that I have never known to exist in real life. I'm sure such women do exist, but certainly not to the extent film and television would have us believe.
I'm flabbergasted to know that TaaHM is so popular, and that it's lasted as long as it has. It offends so many groups on so many levels. Oh, I forgot to add Americans to my initial list. Because as much badly-written, stereotyped claptrap that Australia had churned out over the years, at least we don't have an equivalent to Two and a Half Men.
*Bro was watching a three-ep marathon so may not have been the same episode. The offensiveness tends to roll together.

Welcome everybody!
A brand new album calls for a brand new website, don't you think? I'm really excited about Full Circle. The new CD was recorded live at a sold out concert at Burlap and Bean Coffee and it contains pretty much the entire performance. 16 songs and 22 tracks - presented gapless so you can put it on and pretend you're at the show. You can listen to it on the music page and buy it at the store. There's some brand new material as well as old favorites on there. It's got something for everybody.
Hopefully, so does michaelbraunfeld.com. Stay and look around a bit. Make yourself at home. Join the mailing list. And come back often to stay up to date on all the fun stuff that's going on!
Thanks for visiting, MB

Scholarship Program
Founded in 1974, the McKelvey School of Engineering was the first school at Washington University to create a scholarship program.
Support for scholarships is one of the most important investments alumni can make in the present and future success of Washington University. Scholarships and fellowships help attract and retain outstanding young men and women in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.
Scholarships make it possible for qualified applicants to attend a premier university and achieve their fullest potential, regardless of their personal financial means. In many respects, scholarships help erase the distinction between those on different ends of the economic spectrum.
Giving an endowment gift to Washington University is a smart investment; it is an investment in a brighter future for our world. It is a gift that outlasts life, a gift that creates a permanent legacy to honor or memorialize an individual or an organization, a gift of opportunity that can literally change the lives of students and scholars.
The Washington University Board of Trustees has established minimum gift levels required to create endowments for various purposes in order to ensure that the income generated from the endowment fund significantly enhances the educational experience of our students and provides substantial support for the research and scholarship of our faculty, as well as the University's many important programs and initiatives. At these levels, the donor(s) may name the endowed fund.
These scholarships encourage donors to make Annual Fund gifts of $5,000 or more to create one-year, named scholarships. Scholarship donors are recognized by the William Greenleaf Eliot Society at the level of Eliot Fellow or higher.
A main attraction of the program is the opportunity it offers donors to meet and get to know the students they are helping, and for the students to be able to thank their sponsors in person. Often, lasting friendships and even business and professional relationships have developed between sponsors and scholarship recipients.

Permissions are a new feature of 2sxc 7.1. They allow you to change access rights to views and they also allow you to publish certain data-functionality - like allowing anonymous users to create content on your site (very practical for contact-forms).
Currently permissions can be applied to these areas:
Each area has slightly different abilities which I'll try to explain below.
Basically permissions are simply a set of instructions - saying "On some object, if the Condition applies to the current user, give him the following Grant."
Conditions are basically things that DNN already checked before. So if DNN says this user is an Admin - then then this is what the condition will check.
Note that not all conditions make sense everywhere. Clck on the image to discover more.
So a grant is basically what is allowed. Note that not all grants make sense on every kind of object.
Check out the image to discover more.
When applying permissions to views, the following rules apply:
Common use cases are:
Some queries are admin-only, some are public. So all have a REST API (from 2sxc 7.1 and up) and to define who is allowed to use the queries, you'll set permissions.
Common use cases:
Note that you can give other Grants as well - like update - but only the "Read" aspect will be respected.

The Ballad of Fang Rock
At the end of Horror of Fang Rock, the Doctor turns to Leela, and tells her that someone will probably write a poem about what they thought happened at Fang Rock. As if to prove this, he begins to recite a poem, The Ballad of Flannan Isle by Wilfred Gibson. The entire poem is reproduced here. The events of Horror of Fang Rock occurred about 1909. The collection of poems, in which this one appeared, called Fires, was published in 1912, three years later. Terrance Dicks wrote Horror of Fang Rock based on the poem; perhaps the only time this has been done. The lines that the Doctor quoted in the closing scene of the serial are marked.
Extract taken from The Complete Works of Wilfred Gibson in the Auckland University Library. (The book was autographed by Gibson himself.)
The marked quote also appears on page 126 of the Target novel of this serial, and Wilfred Gibson is not credited with the poem's extract in the publication details of the book. Both serial and novel were written by Terrance Dicks.
This item appeared in TSV 3 (October 1987).

Just updated Leopard and now having "#!/bin/sh" in the "command(s)" section of the bundle editor for any bundle yields "bad interpreter: no such file or directory" if I remove the directive, it works fine, but now on the shell bundle, the run command script is a ruby script and TextMate will not take #!/usr/bin/env ruby, yields bad interpreter again, but I really need to tell TextMate this is a ruby script. So I ran the script with ruby -e'do something'. That is weak sauce but it works. I also noticed circular dependencies in the bundles. You need ruby to run a python script in the python bundle; you need bash to run a ruby script, you need ruby to run a shell script.
I am not sure why this is because the text in command(s) should be treated as a shell script. Anyway, if anyone else has this problem, then removing the shell directive line should help.

Pete Yost of the Associated Press begins an article titled "Roberts Has Backed Administration Policies" as follows:
John G. Roberts has demonstrated strong backing for Bush administration policies, ruling against Geneva Conventions protections for detainees at Guantanamo Bay and in favor of keeping Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force records secret.
Roberts' record as a federal appeals court judge is short but clear, and he has a trail of solid conservative credentials dating back to the administration of President Bush's father.
Abortion rights groups say Roberts in a 1991 case tried to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision legalizing abortion, during his days as a lawyer in the administration of President George H.W. Bush. Roberts helped write a brief that stated, "We continue to believe that Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled."
There you have it: Bush nominates administration stooge to Supreme Court. Of course, some observers would say that the AP's headline could more accurately have read, "Administration's Policies Generally Upheld In the Courts." Roberts was part of a D.C. Circuit Court panel that unanimously (and correctly) reversed a rogue district court ruling on Guantanamo Bay and the Geneva Convention. As for the records of Vice-President Cheney's energy task force, the Supreme Court agreed with Judge Roberts' position by a 7-2 vote.
The fact is that liberals have brought many court challenges against the administration, few of which were meritorious, and few of which have succeeded. It is possible, I suppose, that President Bush could appoint to the Supreme Court a judge who consistently sided with the minority in opposition to his administration. But is that really what the Associated Press expected?
UPDATE: I just noticed another error in the article. It says: "Roberts is a member of the conservative Federalist Society, which has influenced Bush's judicial picks." This has been reported in dozens of mainstream outlets today, but it isn't true. Roberts says that he has given a speech or two to Federalist meetings, but has never been a member of the organization. But that's how the MSM operate: they read something and repeat it without doing any fact-checking.

June 27,2014(ISN) – Dear friends, teammates, and fans,
We have shared many great moments together over the years, but today I need to share news about the biggest fight of my life.
About two months ago I was diagnosed with a rare terminal disease called AL amyloidosis. It's causing abnormal protein to be produced and deposits are being formed on my heart. It's hardening my heart and my doctors aren't sure how long I have to live. Initially they thought years, but now they think it could be a lot less. I could be down to months or even weeks.
I began fighting this disease a few days after Pat Quinn's ring of honour night. I went to the hospital because I was short of breath and 48 hours later I received the news. I've been in the hospital under the supervision of some great doctors ever since. I also have the support of my kids, my sisters, my family and some great friends.
I'm telling you about this now because news is beginning to leak out and I wanted you to hear it from me. I also want you to know that my spirit is strong even if my body isn't. I'm going to use all of my time to be with my kids and everyone I love.
I feel very fortunate for my life. During my career I played in some great NHL cities including, Vancouver, Long Island, Philadelphia and Montreal. In my heart, I will always be a Canuck and I have always had a special relationship here with the fans. Your "Gino, Gino" cheers were my favourite. I wish I could hear them again. You have been amazing.
My teammates became like brothers and am thankful I had the opportunity this past year to re-unite with so many of them. I'll never forget my first NHL game against Chicago and my first goal. It also means the world to me that my hockey career gave me a chance to open doors for kids in Aboriginal community. I was just a little old Indian boy from the Rez. If I could do it, so could they. My hope is that my hockey story helps show kids from home what's possible. I always tell them that education is freedom.
I also made some great friends through hockey and away from the ice as well. Life-long friends who have been with me as I lived out my dream on the ice. It made the journey that much more special and cherished.
This isn't goodbye, but I wanted you to know what is happening. I'm going to stay strong and I hope to spend as much time with my kids as possible.
I understand the media will likely want to learn more, but I hope you can respect my request for privacy as I focus my time on my children and family.

In this interview I spoke with Rafi Kretchmer, VM marketing at Panaya a company focused on helping enterprise clients using Oracle and SAP ERP run a more agile operation.
Panaya helps organizations test and manage ERP changes that drive core business processes, faster and better at a fraction of the cost. They focus on ERP organizations based on the Oracle EBS and SAP software S/4HANA. Panaya is a subsidiary of Infosys.
Using a cloud-based solution customers get visibility and actionable insights to mitigate ERP change risks, gain automated code fixes, accelerated tests and reporting. Having worked on several enterpise projects and organizations I know first-hand how time consuming, and error-prone changes can be to any part of the system. And mistakes or ommissions can be very costly when you have billion dollar organizations so it makes good sense to automate the process as much as possible. This becomes even more of a challenge with organizations spread across continents, time zone and languages.
This in my book is the closest definition of an agile enterprise in the monolith software package universe. The ultimate being a microservices (MSA) architecture organization, which many enterprises are starting the evolution to. That said, the vast majorist of current IT is run on the monolith software and it makes greate sense to make these existing system more agile and nimble.
Retailers are no exception to this challenge, as software is the backbone of all large retailers and can make or break them depending on how it runs.
One of the major activities of large ERP SCM (Supply-Chain Management) software is the upgrade process. As the vendors improve and enhance their applications ever year custoemrs need to keep up with these changes and if they don't they can lose ground in functionality, performance, security and other aspects of their business impacting their bottom ine and customer satisfaction amonth other benefits. SAP is aiming to make this process more efficient by their Enhancement Packages according to the linked document.
The upgrade projects often involve large teams with multi-month durations and can be very disruptive to business so I was happy to see the CloudQuality products specifically addresses the upgrade challenge.
And here's a link to a recent white paper on a SCM case study.

In the title compound, C22H19NO2S, the two phenyl rings adopt a trans conformation with respect to the indole moiety. The indole system deviates slightly from planarity. The aromatic ring of the phenylsulfonyl group is almost perpendicular to the indole ring, while the benzyl ring is oriented at an angle of 77.01 $(1)^{o}$. A zigzag $C-H{\cdot}{\cdot} {\cdot}O$ intermolecular hydrogen bond along the b axis and $C-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}{\pi}$ interactions stabilize the crystal packing.

Degrade, not destroy

*** TOP Secret ***
From: Commander and Chief, US Armed Forces
To: Commander, US Central Command.
I. Situation:
ISIS/ISIL has taken over part of SYRIA and IRAQ, contrary to the wishes of the Iraqi Government and responsible forces in Syria.
The policy of the US Government is to (destroy/degrade) Isis. Ultimately this is the responsibly of the diplomatic, and economic agencies of the US government. However they cannot function effectively while ISIS maintains a serious military capability.
II. Mission:
US Central Command will destroy the ISIL capability to conduct offensive military operations in Syria and Iraq to destroy Isil's military capability.
US Central command will assist the Iraqi government in obtaining at nominal control of Iraqi territory held by ISIS.
III. Execution:
In Iraq this will be done by assisting and supporting, remotely or on site, Iraqi ground and air operations recapture it's national territory; and conducting ground and air operations against Sisl where necessary.
In Syria This will be done by conducting air operation against Isil and ground operations if ordered.

I know it is not politically correct, but the government spent a lot of your tax dollars teaching me to think like a soldier. It's a hard habit to break.
If he President would commit the resources and political will to support it, it would be a workable solution to the military part of the problem, and make work on the other aspects possible.
Any thing much less will most likely fail with many unnecessary deaths to show for it.

Isn't that basically the military part of the strategy he's laid out, except for the "ground operations if ordered"?

- hank_F_M said...
I would hope so. But the news make it sound like we are a day late and a dollar short of where we should be.
I am afraid that domestic political concerns will prevent the commitment of enough resources and political will to accomplish it.

I think the red Corima (cork) works the same but for half the cost?
Or less probably. I pay around 38 Euro retail (used to be 30) for a blister of 8 Corima pads which last me a very long time.
Sure, they won't be to everyone's taste and I can well imagine there being other pads aorund that suit a certain brand of carbon rim better etc.
OTOH you'd be hard pressed to find a pad that offers this degree of modulation while still offering ample braking power sans burning holes in your rims and pockets too...
I like them a lot as they make braking easy. No surprises, no wheels locking up.
Sure I'll ditch them if I find a pad that does everything these do better. Hasn't happened so far and I don't think it will any day soon.
Another aspect I value about them is that even after several tens of thousands of km they hardly show any wear and, even more importantly, neither do the braking surfaces of the rims.
I like.

The programme of the World Parks Congress finally takes shape with the launch of the preliminary programme! From the thousands of ideas, case studies and inspirational stories that were submitted from all over the world, the stream leaders and programme working group have designed a diverse and exciting schedule. While this programme will continue to develop over the coming months, the initial programme provides a comprehensive view of some of the sessions and events that will take place at the Congress.
The World Parks Congress organised by IUCN, will be held in Sydney 12-19 November 2014. The theme of the congress is Parks, People, planet: inspiring solutions and its programme will include:
Plenary sessions:
The Opening Plenary will bring together world leaders, governments, youth, indigenous peoples and numerous protected area stakeholders to debate the central question: Why Protected Areas?
The three sub-plenaries, Parks, People and Planet will showcase how vital protected areas are to humanity and what must be considered at the World Parks Congress to affect real change for the future.
The Stream Sessions, the work engines that power the Congress, will host charismatic keynote speakers and will comprise many interesting sessions on specific topics.
To start planning your Congress experience, visit the Programme page:
World Leaders Dialogue
From Thursday 13 to Tuesday, November 18, the « World Leaders Dialogue » will take centre stage. Political debates will let the world leaders specify theirs policies and actions to achieve the international issues for protecting Nature. These discussions will also involve media personalities, protected areas experts, activists, CEO from private sectors, Aboriginal leaders and politicians to make the World leaders dialogue one of the congress highlight.
The full details of the World Leaders Dialogues can be found here:
The Congress Pavilions
The conference will also host a number of institutions or partners who will entertain the participants on their respective pavilions with thought provoking presentations. For example, the French Marine Protected Area Agency in partnership with IUCN decided to continue the Ocean + adventure initiated during IMPAC3, the 3rd International Marine Protected Areas Congress held in October 2013 in Marseille. This Pavilion will have a programme entirely dedicated to the protection of the marine environment and marine protected areas. 5 other pavilions will also be open to delegates.
Congress Field trip
The congress is not confined to the walls of the amphitheater or the workshop rooms! The programme also includes a variety of specialized Field Trips, enabling participants the opportunity to hear from the people on the ground, see conservation in action and learn from each other's experiences. These tours showcase the many successes and challenges across the Australian landscape.

FreeWheel Turns Nine: A Conversation with Co-Founder and Co-CEO Doug Knopper
I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend and colleague, Doug Knopper, co-Founder and co-CEO of FreeWheel, in the days leading up to the company's ninth anniversary on February 14th. To mark this special occasion, I asked him to share some stories from the early days at FreeWheel as well as a few insights into how to take a company from startup to a market-leader. Here's a recap of our conversation.
Multiscreen users think mobile first. So does StickyADS.tv.
Digital users are now more commonly known as multiscreen users. According to a recent study from Millard Brown, time spent on video viewing and other web browsing activities is unevenly split among mobile, desktop and TV. Unsurprisingly, mobile is the winning screen with 52% of the daily screen share. Desktop and TV cross the finish line a bit behind (21% for desktop and 27% for TV). With mobile largely driving online video consumption growth worldwide (35% growth forecast for mobile devices in 2016 vs 6.5% for non-mobile devices), premium publishers clearly need a solution that enables them to monetize users across multiple screens to stay in the race.
2016 FreeWheel Kickoff: Imperative Now More Than Ever
The decision had been made. We have become simply too big to pull off the annual company Kickoff like we have done every year since FreeWheel was founded. Given the intense amount of growth FreeWheel experienced in 2015, there were just too many employees to bring together. Too expensive. A logistical nightmare. Decision done. But… […]

By Cpl. Sheila Solis
11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, I Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton, California.
My name is Sheila Solis and I have had the honor and privilege of being a United States Marine for the past two years. I am a first-generation American, born and raised in Newark, New Jersey from a family that emigrated from the beautiful country of Ecuador.
Being a Marine has provided me with so many opportunities I never thought I would have while giving me the strength and courage to confront any obstacle that comes my way. Being a Latina and a Marine makes me feel invincible. Like I'm a new breed of super woman who can dance bachata, make the best empanadas, and shoot at an expert level with my M16A4 service rifle.
Before joining the Marine Corps, I attended Seton Hall University as a nursing student and worked part-time as an assistant in the pre-school department at Marion P. Thomas Charter School. I enjoyed the many things life had to offer but what I enjoyed doing the most was spending time with my family and closest friends.
Living in the tristate area, I never had a dull moment enjoying the night life, shopping for the newest fashions, and trying all the amazing foods. Now I have to bring up food because as a true Latina, we all know we were raised right if we know how to cook like our abuelita! Which I love to do. I love to cook and give food to the families in the area. It is how I spread love, the Latina way!
I decided to join the Marine Corps after a semester of school when my family and I realized that affording a private university was too difficult. Although at the moment it was financially difficult, everything happened for a reason. And that reason led me to make one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
With my family's support, I decided to become a U.S. Marine. I knew it wasn't going to be easy and something I would have to work hard for, however, I also knew it would help me continue my educational dreams and ultimately help me become a stronger person.
After I became a Marine, I became conscious of how many fears I overcame. For the first time in my life, I was away from my family and everything I was ever used to. I have traveled all over the world and I've become an independent Latina representing both my family and country. It is one of the best feelings to know that everything I have achieved has been through all of the hard work I have put in.
I dreamt of visiting California and the Marine Corps not only gave me the opportunity to visit California, but to actually live there. It has given me an opportunity to visit different countries, experience new cultures and enroll in school once again. The Marine Corps has truly helped me accomplish all of my goals in ways I never expected. Being a Marine has not only helped me realize how much potential I have within myself, but it has also made me realize the influence my decisions have on the people around me.
Aside from all the positive impacts this decision has had in my life, it has also been a positive force to the people that look up to me. Having a big family that has many young Latinas seeking positive mentorship, my decisions are watched very closely and admired. Being someone our future generations look up to has become a sentiment I hold very dear to my heart. With my head held high and standing at attention, I have never felt as proud as I do this moment, as a Latina serving in the United States Marine Corps. OOH-RAH!

A contract for the first phase of a project to replace the Royal Navy's 22 year old LR5 submarine rescue submersible has been awarded to WS Atkins of Bristol. The future NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) will provide a rescue capability for the four NATO nations - France, Norway, Turkey and the UK - who are participating in the project. Along with a new United States rescue system, NSRS will form the cornerstone of an emerging worldwide submarine rescue capability.
The future NSRS project will be designed as the next generation and is expected provide a significant advance on anything in service around the world today. WS Atkins will lead a team of international experts to develop a multi-national system that will be compatible with almost all NATO and many non-NATO submarines. It will be capable of operating from a wide range of commercial and military motherships and be air-deployable worldwide at short notice. The nine month project definition contract, worth approximately £700,000, will identify and assess technology needed to procure, operate and support a new system due in service from 2005. The estimated whole life cost for one system is in the region of £120 million over 25 years.

Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on Saturday visited the Indo-Bangladesh border in Assam's Dhubri district to review security measures, particularly in the riverine areas, following allegations of unabated illegal influx.
Shinde told reporters here that he wanted to review security measures on the country's eastern flank, particularly riverine areas.
The visit was in keeping with his commitment made when he assumed charge about two months ago, he said, adding he also wanted to visit border outposts, some of which had been damaged by erosion, besides interacting with the BSF personnel posted there.
Shinde, who is on a day-long visit to Assam, reached the Panbari border camp of the BSF in a helicopter. He had arrived in Guwahati from Delhi in the morning, official sources said.
He travelled by a special BSF boat from the BSF Bay in Dhubri town to Shishumara, Mohamayachar and Udligaon in Dhubri area and Sahapara BOPs in Mancachar area and Indo-Bangladesh border to take stock of the situation.
Shinde is also scheduled to review the internal security situation with Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and senior Assam government officials, the sources added.
