Wow, time goes so fast and unfortunately I have been way too busy to do many reviews, sorry about that! Anyway, I picked up a new friend the other day. It's an Ampeg GVT15-112 tube combo, which is a 15-Watt valve amp, that can also be switched to 7-Watts thanks to its half-power, power amp mode. I got mine at a really good price, and straight up I must say that it has a bold, clear (but not overly bright) warm tube tone.
Anyway, Ampeg are better known for their bass amps, although in the 70s and 80s it released some well regarded tube amps for guitar as well.

Initially I must admit that aesthetically it is refreshingly different from your typical Marshall or Fender (nothing wrong with those amps) amps. With its black tolex off set by a brushed metal control panel, black n' chrome knobs and overall high quality build, I was impressed even before I had turned it on. The controls, by the way, are all Bandaxall controls which are slightly different from the conventional ones. Bandaxall actually incorporate a boost function into them, so when you turn over half way you get a boost in the mids for example.
Powering this baby are two 6L6s and the two standard 12AX7s pre-amp tubes, so I would hazard a guess to say that we are more in the Fender type of tone. Ampeg describes itself as having an American tone. This means that, well to my ear, it has nice clear cleans with plenty of headroom, it's very warm and sounds particularly great with single coils. However I have an ES355 clone with vintage style Humbuckers and it sounds great with that too.
The foot switchable reverb is stunning (Footswitch not included), lush but not in an over the top Fender way, but full and lush under currents that fill out the sound but don't overpower it. Magnificent with OD and I thought it took pedals really well (Another cool feature which I think all amps should have is the effects loop). I think for humbuckers, the reverb helps a little by making the sound a bit more lively or warmer. I have found that some humbuckers particularly on clean can sound a little flat, but a bit of reverb, plus this amps wonderful Bandaxall boost really fills it out. The tank is neatly stowed at the base of the amp with a padded bag protecting it.
Okay so overall how is this little amp? I am guilty of using the word 'Keeper' and I must admit that I am untrustworthy about that. However, after finding this little gem I have lost the urge to look for other amps. The pre-gain boost you can give it, combined with great tone controls that really affect the tone, the wonderful reverb and a Master volume make this a no brainer, and I got mine brand new in box with warranty shipped for $469!
Now I did change the speaker from the Celestion 70/80 (which honestly sounded fine at bedroom levels) to a Vintage 30 I had lying around. Was there much difference, hmmm possibly a tiny bit more clarity and handled OD better, but I wouldn't say that it improved the overall sound and tone much. Speakers are another story altogether and best left for another day! Seriously, Ampeg make strong durable cabinets, quality electronics, and have a great reputation. This gets a big thumbs up from me!

- AMP is an acronym for Accelerated Mobile Pages and was announced by Google on October 7, 2015
- Its goal is to provide easy methods for web developers to create lightning-fast web pages
- While Google sponsored it, it is an open source initiative
- Other participants include Bing, Baidu, Pinterest, Twitter, and many others
- It was originally targeted specifically at mobile pages, but can be used for any type of web page
- It was also originally only targeted at news/media sites, but can be used on all types of sites today
- Studies such as this one show that user engagement on AMP sites is higher than on non-AMP sites
Recap: Why Page Speed is So Important
You've heard it many times: Speed on the web is important. Many people don't fully internalize that for most mobile devices, the challenges with page load time are materially greater than they are for most desktop environments. One of the core goals for AMP is to level that playing field. What are the practical advantages of faster sites? Let's have a look:
Clearly speed is a big deal. You can already see how much this matters to users from that data alone. But people are also beginning to recognize the AMP lightning symbol in the search results, as shown by this poll running on 9to5google.com:

The Applied Food Mycology course offers a research led introduction to fungi, yeasts, the toxins they produce and the problems they can cause in foods. This includes both spoilage and health effects. It will present a balanced view of the importance of mycology in the context of the modern food industry.
The growth of fungi and yeasts in foods, and the consequent problems caused by these organisms, is a very important part of food quality and safety, but mycology often does not receive as much attention as the perhaps more familiar problems caused by bacteria.
And yet, food spoilage caused by fungi and yeasts can be far more significant, in particular key food groups that are acidic in nature and/or have low moisture content. These include food groups such as bakery products, dairy products, beverages (e.g. fruit juices), dried fruits and nuts, and confectionary.
Fungi can also present health risks by the production of specific toxic agents called mycotoxins, which are often poorly understood. Mycotoxins are being increasingly recognised as agents of both acute and chronic toxicity in humans and animals, further adding to the importance of understanding food mycology.
By the end of the Applied Food Mycology course you will be able to:

There was a time when air conditioning was considered a luxury. It wasn't until 1902, when inventor Willis Carrier created the first large-scale electrical A/C unit, that "conditioned air" was even an option for the public. But by the 1950's, the residential use of air conditioning greatly expanded and in that decade became what it is known for today: a home essential. Air conditioning provides many things for the modern home including air circulation, humidity control and, most importantly, comfort. Today's central A/C units have a typical lifespan of 12 – 15 years, so it's imperative to find the right system for your needs.
If you are in the market for a new air conditioner, there are several key factors that you will want to consider. We have a compiled a list of the most important:
Choosing a Professional Installer –
Finding a professional HVAC company to install your new unit is the most important part of the equation. If you don't already have a preferred HVAC company, then getting a recommendation from a friend is preferable. There are also several home service sites online that offer reviews of local plumbing, electrical and HVAC businesses. Contact at least three potential installers and get quotes on the work. Make sure that you get information on the make and model of the A/C unit(s) that they carry so that you can research the quality of the brand as well.
Installation –
There are two costs involved when you install a new A/C unit. There is the price of the new system and the installation price. You can opt to purchase a new unit yourself – and then hire someone to install it. This might work in your favor if you can buy a new air conditioner at wholesale – or find one sale. But even if you find a unit on your own, you will need a professional technician to perform the installation.
Unit Size –
One of the most important factors in searching for a new air conditioning unit is getting the appropriate size. If you are replacing a unit, there's little question about the size your home requires. But if you are buying a unit for a new build – or simply outfitting an older home with central air you will need to make sure you find the right size. If it's too small or too big for the square footage, you will be wasting energy – and your home will never be adequately cool. An HVAC technician should perform a load calculation which tabulates the square footage, insulation, climate zone and a number of other variables to determine the proper size.
More Information on Load Calculation
Energy Efficiency –
All modern air conditioning units are measured by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). This rating measures the ratio of cooling capacity to the power input. The EPA requires all models manufactured after Jan. 1, 2015 to have a minimum rating of 14 on the SEER scale. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the air conditioner. However, the higher the number, the more expensive the model, so you'll need to find a rating with a price point that works within your budget. In addition to the SEER rating, an Energy Star label certifies the most energy-efficient models on the market. Energy Star ratings take into the SEER number as well as the energy efficiency ratio (EER). Their seal of approval means that the unit will use 8 percent less energy than similar models on the market.
Annual Maintenance –
You will want to speak with your HVAC technician about annual maintenance programs after your unit has been installed. Regular maintenance will ensure that the unit continues to run at peak performance for years to come. An annual maintenance program will also ensure that your manufacturer's warranty stays valid.
The Importance of HVAC Maintenance
When you decide that you need a new air conditioning unit, make Cassel Home Comfort your first call. We can help you with every step of the process – including setting up an annual maintenance contract. ________________________________________________________________________

Interest in Leicester stimulated by football success, bigger impact than RIII
One way of gauging interest in a city is to look at its Wikipedia page views. If there's growing interest among visitors to the online encyclopedia, you can ask why. Here's the story so far this year, for views of Leicester's page. Notice the spikes.
The notes in red on the spikes show the football games, and scores, that Leicester was involved in at that time. Could be coincidence, but might not be.
To check the footie connection, here's a comparison with the page views for the Leicester City FC Wikipedia entry.
The shapes are similar, but much bigger. Perhaps it is the football.
How about comparing with a couple of other midland cities, say Derby and Nottingham. Do they have a football-related spike?
So what happened around Friday 29 January 2016? Why did Derby's page views shoot up, ahead even of mighty Leicester's? Might it be related to the FA cup match that was played on that day? Derby played Manchester United at home in the fourth round. They lost, 1 -3. Perhaps it's the taking part, not the winning, that matters to Wikipedia viewers.
How does all this compare with the excitement generated by the reburial of Richard III a year ago? In Wikipedia terms, the king's impact was much less. On 26 March, the day of the interment, Leicester page views peaked at slightly over 3,000. Daily averages for the month hovered around 1,200. That's clearly much less than the 18,000 peak of the Man City game, and the regular spikes over 4,000 in the past couple of weeks.
Large claims were made last year for the economic benefit to the city of the King in the carpark. It might be worth examining what the King Power effect is by comparison.

Jaime Elimelech's meditative oil paintings infuse simplicity with hidden energy. Elimelech paints graphic shapes that are placed in the space as bodies would be in a figural study—they do not align in patterns or fill the canvas, but rather appear as individuals, each with its own idiosyncratic sighting and relationship. The palette alternates between vibrant colors and studies in black and white. Isolated within the composition, shapes seem poised to spring to life.
Elimelech has been a student of painting and Chinese calligraphy, and the expertise in brush control is evident in his work. He paints on both canvas and linen with utter precision and layers color on in smooth fields. His lines are so even that they appear almost machine-made. When he does choose to make his brushstroke known, it is a measured and luxurious specimen, perfectly placed to convey their materiality and direction.
Elimelech was born in Santiago, Chile and today splits his time between his native city and the town of Marbella. He has exhibited all over the world, including in Japan, Norway, and France.

text: CORK, Ireland, Feb. 18, 2013 — InfiniLED's latest MicroLEDs (µLEDs) achieve high optical beam intensity and produce up to 1 mW of light from a single 20-µm pixel at 405 nm, equivalent to a light output density of more than 300 W/cm2. They provide the wavelength flexibility, drive characteristics and simplicity of an LED and the power and collimated beam of a laser. In the patented MicroLED structure, a parabolic reflector is etched into the semiconductor material during fabrication, placing an optical component directly at the site of light generation and at the most effective position for control of the light produced. By directing all the generated light through a single surface of the semiconductor, it can be efficiently collected and used in the wider system. Applications include life sciences, consumer electronics and OEM equipment. Single pixels can be used to produce high-intensity collimated light over a small area or to produce usable light with a few nanoamps of current. To produce larger amounts of light, clusters of tightly packed MicroLEDs are available, resulting in high light density and collimated emission over a wider area. MicroLEDs are also available as addressable arrays of pixels, where the collimation from each pixel results in high packing densities and minimal crosstalk between the devices.

Location of Nagpur (नागपूर)
in Maharashtra and India
Nāgpur is a city in the state of Maharashtra, and is the largest city in central India and also the third largest city by population in the state of Maharashtra. With a population of around 2,420,000; Nagpur UA is the 13th largest urban conglomeration in India[3], the 114th largest city [2] in world, and the 143rd largest urban area in world in terms of population.[4] The city is also the seat of annual winter session of Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha. Nagpur is also the major commercial and political center of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, and is also famous throughout the country as "Orange City" for being a major trade center of oranges.[5] The city assumes political importance from being the headquarters for the Hindu nationalist organisation RSS and an important location for the Dalit Buddhist movement.
Nagpur lies precisely at the center of the country with the Zero mile marker (indicating the geographical center of India) located here.[6] The city was founded by Gond people but later became part of Maratha Empire under the Bhonsles. The British East India Company took over Nagpur in 19th century and made it the capital of Central Provinces and Berar. After first states' reorganisation, the city lost the capital status but as per informal "Nagpur Pact" between political leaders; was made the second capital of Maharashtra.
Central Provinces and Berar, 1903. Princely states are shown in yellow.
Human existence around present day Nagpur city can be traced back 3000 years to 8th century BC. Mehir burial sites at Drugdhamna (near Mhada colony) indicate megalithic culture existed around Nagpur and is still followed in present times[8]. The first reference to the name Nagpur is found in a 10th century copper-plate inscription discovered at Devali in the neighbouring WardhaRastrakuta king Krsna III in the Saka year 862 (940 CE).[9] Towards the end of third century King Vindhyasakti is known to have ruled the Nagpur region. In the 4th century Vakataka Dynasty ruled over the Nagpur region and surrounding areas and had good relations with the Gupta Empire. The Vakataka king Prithvisena I moved his capital to Nagardhan (ancient name Nandivardhana), located at 28 kilometers (17 mi) from Nagpur.[10] district. The inscription is a record of grant of a village situated in the visaya (district) of Nagpura-Nandivardhana during time of
Recent history ascribes the founding of Nagpur to Bakht Buland, a prince of the Gond kingdom of Deogarh in the Chhindwara district. In 1743, the Maratha leader Raghoji Bhonsle of Vidarbha established himself at Nagpur, after conquering the territories of Deogarh, Chanda and Chhattisgarh by 1751. After Raghoji's death in 1755, his son and successor Janoji was forced to acknowledge the effective supremacy of the Maratha Peshwa of Pune in 1769. Regardless of the military conquests, the Nagpur state continued to grow. Janoji's successor Mudhoji I (d. 1788) came to power in 1785 and bought Mandla and the upper Narmada valley from the Peshwa between 1796 and 1798, after which Raghoji II (d. 1816) acquired Hoshangabad, the larger part of Saugor and Damoh. Under Raghoji II, Nagpur covered what is now the east of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, and parts of Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.
In 1803 Raghoji II joined the Peshwas against the British in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. The British prevailed, and Raghoji was forced to cede Cuttack, Sambalpur, and a part of Berar. After Raghoji II's death in 1816, his son Parsaji was deposed and murdered by Mudhoji II. Despite the fact that he had entered into a treaty with the British in the same year, Mudhoji joined the Peshwa in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1817 against the British, but was forced to cede the rest of Berar to the Nizam of Hyderabad, and parts of Saugor and Damoh, Mandla, Betul, Seoni and the Narmada valley to the British after suffering a defeat at Sitabuldi in modern-day Nagpur city. The Sitabuldi fort was the site of a fierce battle between the British and the Bhonsle of Nagpur in 1817. The battle was a turning point as it laid the foundations of the downfall of the Bhonsles and paved the way for the British acquisition of Nagpur city.[11] Mudhoji was deposed after a temporary restoration to the throne, after which the British placed Raghoji III the grandchild of Raghoji II, on the throne. During the rule of Raghoji III (which lasted till 1840), the region was administered by a British resident. In 1853, the British took control of Nagpur after Raghoji III died without leaving an heir.
Map of Nagpur district with major towns and rivers.
From 1853 to 1861, the Nagpur Province (which consisted of the present Nagpur region, Chhindwara, and Chhatisgarh) became part of the Central Provinces and Berar and came under the administration of a commissioner under the British central government, with Nagpur as its capital. Berar was added in 1903. Tata group started the country's first textile mill at Nagpur[12], formally known as Central India Spinning and Weaving Company Ltd. The company was popularly known as "Empress Mills" as it was inaugurated on 1 January 1877, the day queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India. Political activity in Nagpur during India's freedom struggle included hosting of two annual sessions of the Indian National Congress. Importantly, the Non-cooperation movement was launched in the Nagpur session of 1920. The city witnessed a Hindu–Muslim riot in 1923 which had profound impact on K. B. Hedgewar[13], who in 1925 founded the RSS, a Hindu nationalist organization in Nagpur with an idea of creating a Hindu nation. After the 1927 Nagpur riots RSS gained further popularity in Nagpur and the organization grew nationwide.
After Indian Independence in 1947, Central Provinces and Berar became a province of India, and in 1950 became the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, again with Nagpur as its capital. However when the Indian states were reorganized along linguistic lines in 1956, the Nagpur region and Berar were transferred to Bombay state, which in 1960 was split between the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. At a formal public ceremony on October 14, 1956 in Nagpur B. R. Ambedkar along with his supporters converted to Buddhism starting Dalit Buddhist movement which is still active. In 1994, the city witnessed its most violent day in modern times in form of Gowari stampede deaths.

Nagpur lies on the Deccan plateau of the Indian Peninsula and has a mean altitude of 310 meters above sea level.[14] The underlying rock strata is covered with alluvial deposits resulting from the flood plain of the Kanhan River. In some places these give rise to granular sandy soil. However, in low lying areas which are poorly drained, the soil is alluvial clay with poor permeability characteristics. In eastern part of city crystalline metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, schist and granites are found, while in the Northern part yellowish sand stones and clays of the lower Gondwana formations are found. [15]
Nagpur city is dotted with many natural and man made lakes with Ambazari lake being the largest of all. Other natural lakes include Futala lake, Gorewada Lake and Telangkhedi lake. Sonegaon lake along with Gandhisagar lake are man-made lakes created by cities historical rulers. Nag river, Pilli nadi along with various nallas form the natural drainage pattern for city.[16] [17] Nagpur is known for its greenery, and was judged as the cleanest and second greenest in India after Bangalore.[18]
As it is located at centre of Indian peninsula far from Bay of Bengal and Arabian sea, Nagpur has a tropical wet and dry climate with dry conditions prevailing for most of the year . Nagpur city receives an annual rainfall of 1,205 mm (47.44 in) from monsoon rains during June to September.[19] The highest recorded rainfall was 304 mm on July 14, 1994.[20] Summers are extremely hot lasting from March to June, with maximum temperatures occurring in May. Winter lasts from November to January, during which temperatures can drop below 10°C (50°F).[14] The highest recorded temperature in the city was 48.6 °C (119.5 °F) on 26 May 1954[6], while the lowest was 3 °C.
Civic Administration
Nagpur is administered by Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) which is democratically elected civic governing body. Nagpur Improvement Trust(NIT) works along with NMC and carries out works like development of civic infrastructure and new urban areas on behalf of NMC.[21] The city is divided in 10 zones which are in turn divided into 136 wards.[22] Each ward is represented by a corporator, majority of whom are elected in local elections.
Sitabuldi fort is home to Indian Army's 118th infantry battalion.
Nagpur is an important city for the scientific community as it is headquarters of number of national level scientific and governmental establishments like the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute NEERI, Central Institute of Cotton Research (CICR), National Research Centre for Citrus, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, and the Jawaharlal Nehru National Aluminium Research and Development Centre.
Nagpur is also an important city for the Indian armed forces. The city is the headquarter of Maintenance command of Indian Air Force. The Indian Army's Ordinance factory and staff college are located on west side of city. Nagpur's suburb Kamptee has cantonment of Regimental center of Indian Army's Brigade made up of National Cadet Corps' Officers' Training School, Institute of Military Law and other establishments. Nagpur's National Civil defense College provides civil defense and disaster management training to pupils from all over India and abroad. Indian Air Force's giant IL-76 transport planes nicknamed "Gajraj" are based in Nagpur.
Marathi, official language of Maharashtra is the local language in Nagpur. Varhadi dialect of Marathi is spoken in and around Nagpur city. Hindi is spoken extensively in Nagpur.

Nagpur branch of Reserve Bank of India
Nagpur has been the main center of commerce in the Vidarbha region since early days and is an important trading location. However, Nagpur's economic importance had gradually declined relative to Mumbai and Pune after the merging of Vidarbha into the Maharashtra because of a prolonged period of neglect by the state government[40]. During the slowdown, state and central government offices were a major source of employment in the city. Nagpur's economy is now recovering from past slowdown[41] and city has attracted Rupees 5,000 crore in investment in 2004.[42]. The city is important for the banking sector as it hosts the regional office of Reserve Bank of India, which was opened on September 10, 1956[43].

Railways Transport
Due to its central location in India, the Nagpur Railway Station is an important railway junction and a transit terminal for trains that connect the country lengthwise and breadthwise, especially trains connecting India's major metropolises, Mumbai to Howrah-Kolkata, Delhi and Jammu to Chennai, Hydrabad, Bangalore and Kanyakumari in the South, as well as western cities such as Pune and Ahemedabad.[57] The city is the Divisional Head Quarters for the Central Railway and South East Central Railway Zone of Indian Railways.
Road Transport
Nagpur is also a major junction for roadways as India's two major national highways, Kanyakumari-Varanasi (NH 7) and Hajira-Kolkata (NH-6), passing through the city.[57] One more highway number 69 connect Nagpur to Obaidullaganj near Bhopal. Nagpur is at the junction of two Asian Highways namely AH43 Agra to Matara, Sri Lanka and AH46 connecting Kharagpur, India to Dhule, India. Auto rickshaws operate in most parts of Nagpur and are the main form of hired transport within the city.
The new national highway is being built between Nagpur and Mumbai, alternative to the existing NH 6. This new Nagpur-Aurangabad-Mumbai express highway is build on the national highway basis, though being the state highway, entirely inside the state of Maharashtra. This highway will be a major boost to the under developed regions of Vidarbha
and Marathwada in Maharashtra state.
Nagpur's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport has the busiest Air traffic control room of India.
Nagpur Railway Station
The Nagpur railways constitute a very significant part of the transport and communication system in the important city of Nagpur in Maharashtra. Many people from the rest of the country and abroad, visit the city of Nagpur to spend a vacation or on a work-related tour. For these frequent visitors to the city of Nagpur, the railways of Nagpur, along with the airways and the roadways, are of immense importance.
Some important trains that are available at the Nagpur railway station are the Vishakapatnam Nizamudin Samta Express, the Banglore Nizamudin Rajdhani Express, the Mumbai Howrah Mail, the Bangalore Gorakpur Express and the Howrah Mumbai Mail.
The railways at Nagpur were established a long time back well before the independence of India, as Nagpur used to be an important city of India even in those days. The year 1867 marks the beginning of the Nagpur railways. In the year 1881, the city of Nagpur was linked up with another important city of India, that is, Kolkata, via the railways of the state of Chhattisgarh.
The railway station of Nagpur was previously housed towards the east of the place where the current station has been constructed. The present-day railway station of Nagpur was also put up in the pre-independence days. The year of its establishment is 1924.
The railways in Nagpur are important not only because the city is one of the tourist destinations of the country and the second capital of the significant state of Maharashtra, but also because of its prime location. The railway station of Nagpur has a central location in the entire country and hence is strategically very important not only in the state but in the entire subcontinent of India.[2]
Move over model station, if all goes according to plan then Nagpur could well be developed into a world class station. The Indian Railways has identified 22 such stations in India which can be upgraded to international standard and Nagpur is one of those.
Making this announcement at a 'meet the press' programme at the divisional railway manager's office on Tuesday, Sowmya Raghavan, general manager, Central Railway, said: "I'd see to it that the city gets the best of passenger amenities." Raghvan, who was on her first official to city as general manager CR, asserted that central railway has even identified priority areas like security, safety and cleanliness. "We plan to install CCTVs and metal detectors on all sensitive stations in the entire zone. My commitment is that passengers should have a feel of the facilities when they enter the station. We'll instil a sense of behaviour among the front-line staff too as to how to behave with the commuters," said Raghvan.
The general manager, who inspected the 140-km stretch between Ballarshah and Nagpur, further said: "There's great demand to start new trains but I've no powers to start those. I can only forward such proposals to the railway board — the one which we did to make triweekly Nagpur-Pune Express into a daily train. The decision is expected in this railway budget."
Once again, hopes to develop Ajni railway station into a terminus has been dashed. Raghvan was non-committal on the issue but could only say that it would be developed as a coaching complex. "If you plan to increase trains from Nagpur in future, we would need a coaching complex to maintain these trains and Ajni would be developed on these lines. A Rs 8.9 crore proposal has already been sent to the board," the top official asserted. "Ajni is hardly 2.8 km from Nagpur station and as such it can't be developed as a second station after Nagpur," she added.
When asked about her assessment of the division, she was all praise for the officials but also said that she asked them to overcome certain shortcomings too.[3]
Following are the trains which operates from the Nagpur Railway Station.[4] More passing trains from Nagpur, are available for Bhopal via. Itarsi Junction, Gwalior, Jabalpur via. Balaghat Junction, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Indore, Jaipur, Lucknow, Agra, Benaras, Rajkot, Surat and almost, all the destinations throughout the India.

Air Transport
Nagpur's Air Traffic Control (ATC) is the busiest in India, with more than 300 international flights flying over the city every day in 2004. In October 2005, Nagpur's erstwhile Sonegaon Airport was declared an international airport and was renamed Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport.[59] Country's first ever international cargo hub, the Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) is planned on the outskirts of the city.

If you haven't heard of Goat Simulator, then you've just been missing out. It's (apparently) Coffee Stain Studios' take on the life of a goat and allows players to see the world through a goat's eyes. We'll just let you try and get over the initial shock of the developer of Sanctum 1 & 2 working on a goat simulating game.
That being said, the developer has announced that the game will be releasing on April 1st via Steam. An obvious attempt for April Fool's, right? But the studio is serious. When asked "bro are u srs", Coffee Stain simply replied "Yes". We remain skeptical.
Amazingly enough, there will apparently be Linux and Mac ports when the game "launches" but there won't be any multiplayer mode. Its physics are apparently too resource-hungry to handle more than one goat on screen. Again, we're not saying Goat Simulator won't definitely release but heck, we'd be even more surprised if it did. Stay tuned for more details.

must read
The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. Current and former American military and intelligence officials said that Air Force planning groups are drawing up lists of targets, and teams of American combat troops have been ordered into Iran, under cover, to collect targeting data and to establish contact with anti-government ethnic-minority groups. The officials say that President Bush is determined to deny the Iranian regime the opportunity to begin a pilot program, planned for this spring, to enrich uranium.
A government consultant with close ties to the civilian leadership in the Pentagon said that Bush was "absolutely convinced that Iran is going to get the bomb" if it is not stopped. He said that the President believes that he must do "what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do," and "that saving Iran is going to be his legacy."
One former defense official, who still deals with sensitive issues for the Bush Administration, told me that the military planning was premised on a belief that "a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government." He added, "I was shocked when I heard it, and asked myself, 'What are they smoking?' "

June 2010 – I gaze at the spartan brown door of apartment number 264, not quite knowing what to expect behind it. I am a year away from my Bar Mitzvah – the day that I become a man within my Jewish community. And though this important rite of passage still seems somewhat far off to my twelve-year-old self, it is the reason that I am standing in the hallway of Heritage Pointe, a Jewish retirement home in Southern California.
While highlights of Bar Mitzvahs generally include reading from the Torah or celebrating with friends and family, an important aspect of this ascent into manhood is the Mitzvah Project. This project, which can range from volunteering at a soup kitchen to collecting used sports equipment for underprivileged children, is completed in the months leading up to the Bar Mitzvah and serves as a young man or woman's way of giving back to the community. Intellectually curious by nature, I knew that I wanted my Mitzvah Project to somehow incorporate my particular passion for history.
I stumbled upon Heritage Pointe one day while brainstorming ideas, and I instantly decided that I would undertake my project there. Heritage Pointe's appeal lay in the fact that its residents had lived through the modern history that I spent nearly every moment of my free time reading about. And there was one specific event in modern history that I felt would be appropriate to center my project on – the Holocaust, the ultimate story of my people's suffering and survival. Standing on the threshold of adulthood, I was ready to learn the lessons of a catastrophe which must never be repeated from someone who had endured it.
A little unsure of what volunteering there even entailed, I called Heritage Pointe. I found out that young volunteers could be paired with a resident to "brighten his or her day" with weekly meetings. This form of volunteering was certainly the best way to do good while catering to my appetite for learning, I thought. I signed up immediately, but with one request: could I possibly be paired with a Holocaust survivor?
And thus, I found myself standing at the door of apartment number 264, about to spend an afternoon with a stranger who had survived one of history's greatest tragedies. I bring my hand to the door, preparing to knock, but I hesitate. I realize that I know nothing about the man behind the door except for his designation as a "survivor." Will he take offense to my curiosity? Will our personalities mesh? Will we even be able to hold a conversation? With this shroud of uncertainty falling down upon me, I nervously rap my knuckles against the door. My voice falters, but I call out, "Hello, Mr. Silbert."
"Yes, come in," an accented voice replies. I open the door, take a few steps into the modest living room, and stop in my tracks. My eyes dart around the room, catching glimpses of collections, gadgets, and paraphernalia that this man has amassed throughout almost ninety years of life. A sizable stack of books dominates a humble side table that sags under the weight of thousands of pages of knowledge. A small screwdriver, a miniature pair of pliers, and other diminutive hand tools lie scattered around a half-complete model ship. A print of Lincoln in Dalivision hangs on the wall alongside black-and-white photographs of Yad Vashem and a Schindler's List movie poster.
My survey of Mr. Silbert's eclectic decor is cut short by a brusque, "Please, sit down."
"Oh, um, yes sir," I reply, caught off guard. "Hi, my name's Justin. Nice to meet you, Mr. Silbert." I extend my hand to a white haired, blue eyed man wearing gray Reebok running shoes. His button-down shirt is cuffed at the shirtsleeves and tucked into a pair of blue jeans. The name "Ziggy" is embossed on his homemade black pendant. He clasps my hand and responds, "Nice to meet you, too, Justin."
We are separated by nearly two feet and nearly eighty years. I feel out of place, an intrusion into the foreign world of his apartment. On that day, I don't think either of us could have imagined that, over the course of four years, we would grow to regard one another as family. With time, his patchwork decor and his distinct wardrobe would become, just like his relaxed chuckle and clever quips, a comforting characteristic of a person I love.
June 2014 – I burst open the door of apartment number 264 and saunter into a room I could navigate with my eyes closed. Ziggy's face lights up with a beaming smile, and he gets to his feet to wrap me in a warm embrace. "Any progress?" I ask, pointing to a model ship that has been in constructional limbo for four years, and he responds with the customary, "Business as usual."
But I barely have time to admire his handiwork before he shows me a funny cartoon he clipped out of this week's newspaper. We share a hearty laugh, and then he asks me what I think of the current situation in Israel. He listens thoughtfully to my analysis and offers his own insight, weaving a famous Latin quote, a reference to his childhood in a Polish shtetl, and an anecdote about his days as a Los Angeles hair stylist into his genius response. Yet, by now, I have grown too accustomed to Ziggy's wisdom and unique style of thinking to gape in awe of the elegance of the stream-of-consciousness he has spewed back at me. Instead, I merely catalogue his comments in the ever-growing file in my brain marked "Brilliant and Enlightening Things Ziggy Has Said."
Our conversation twists and turns; one minute we are talking about the latest sports news, the next about an interesting discussion from my English class, and the next about an apparatus Ziggy has invented to pick fruit off tall trees in the Heritage Pointe courtyard. At times, it's easy to forget that this close friend I'm sharing a joke with is the same man who hitchhiked through the Siberian tundra after bribing his way out of a prison where he was held as an Enemy of the State. It's easy to forget that the man who has spent so many hours cheering me on at my soccer games and sitting beside me at family dinners has also spent so many days of his life hiding under the floorboards of a Righteous Gentile family's farmhouse. It's easy to forget that the man applauding in the audience of my eighth-grade musical production also snuck across the Eastern Front of World War II in an attempt to return home, or that the man who wept with me as Jean Valjean ascended to heaven in the stage production of Les Miserables also shed tears as an Einsatzgruppen killing squad shot wildly at him and hundreds of other Jewish captives. And indeed there were tears in my eyes at my Bar Mitzvah, when I knew that the man who handed me my symbolic prayer shawl had, seventy years ago, used his traditional Jewish prayer straps to tie himself into the uppermost branches of a tree while he hid from the Gestapo in the Carpathian foothills.
Yet there is one more aspect of Ziggy's story that is easy to forget. Every once in a while, Ziggy's voice wavers in the middle of a thought-provoking discussion or an intelligent remark. And then, the wisest man I know wipes his eyes and says, "Justin, they took my education." In these moments, I am jolted by the reminder that the Holocaust stole Ziggy's opportunity to fuel his intellect with formative schooling. I look down at the carpet, unsure and uncomfortable. The man weeping beside me about being uneducated is capable of drawing parallels between the teachings of Talmudic rabbis and ancient Roman scholars. The sheer happiness I see in Ziggy when we are discussing a cerebral issue paints a vivid picture in my mind of a young Ziggy in a life he did not get to live. Ziggy deserved to pursue a college education – his signature radiant grin undoubtedly plastered on his face as he debated a professor's point in a crowded lecture hall or constructed a clever argument for his dissertation. But instead, he was forced to spend his young adulthood wondering what horrors the next day of the Holocaust had in store for him.
Ziggy's loss of education has always been the detail of his story that I wrestle with the most, the one that hits me even harder than his harrowing accounts of prison cells or firing squads. Nevertheless, for a long time, I wasn't really able to explain why it weighed so heavily on me. Throughout this reflective process, though, I have peeled back the many layers of our relationship and have begun to understand my emotional connection to his deprivation of formal learning. I now realize that, the very first time I knocked on the door of apartment number 264, I had already been prepared by history books to hear stories of concentration camps and mass extermination. But to me, these horrors were just grainy gray-scale photographs on a glossy textbook page. No number of books could have prepared me for tragedies that registered on a deeply personal level.
And Ziggy's loss of formal schooling hit me about as personally as possible. Ziggy and I are equally voracious learners, and I now realize that – although our shared background as Jews is what brought us together four years ago – our shared passion for learning is what has drawn us close to one another. Really, the differentiating factor between my education and Ziggy's is that he was chased away by the Gestapo before he had the chance to delve deeper into his studies while I have been fortunate enough to pursue an immersive academic environment at a rigorous boarding school. It has taken these last few months of reflection for me to realize that Ziggy's deprivation of education haunts me because he so greatly deserved what I am so lucky to have.
But while Ziggy's loss of learning is so upsetting, his love of learning has created a classroom in apartment number 264. It is a most unorthodox classroom, one without grades or assignments. In fact, there is not even a designated instructor or student, with Ziggy and I opting rather to engage in an amorphous dance of reciprocal teaching and learning. But it is a classroom where I literally and figuratively face my history, and where I reflect back an image of what Ziggy's mind would have looked like in another country and era. There is no age gap anymore. We are peers separated only by our circumstances.

To hay net or not to hay net?Read Now
Earlier this year I posted a short video making a comparison of a horse eating from a hay net and then eating hay from the floor (See below). The inspiration for making this video was to create awareness of the musculoskeletal impact this may have.
In all honesty I was taken aback by the huge response which eventually went viral with messages and comments coming from all over the world. The debate amongst horse owners on the subject was impressive which you can see on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/animalspine/.
The natural instinct of the horse is to graze from the ground and I hope I don't need to produce a research article to prove this! Yes, they will browse at different heights in trees and bushes but predominately at ground level. So why do we put up a hay net and expect them to eat like that for prolonged periods like it's natural? Below are a few areas to consider when deciding how to feed.
The idea that hay nets slow down the rate of consumption is inconclusive. There is conflicting research on the subject out there. I guess we as horse owners could conduct our own research project in our own yards, timing our own horses eating with a hay net and without to make our own conclusions - I think you'd be surprised.
The alignment of the jaw and teeth which are influenced by the position of the head and neck. When the head is in a natural grazing position the jaw aligns itself correctly to properly grind down forage. Natural jaw movement is compromised when eating in an upward position which effects the way the teeth wear and the function of the surrounding anatomy, saliva production and therefore digestion - why not quiz your equine dental technician?
The respiratory system is able to drain effectively when the head is positioned towards the ground. The amount of dust in the air from being pulled from a hay net presents a risk of breathing in dust particles and causing irritation as well as getting dust in the eyes.
If you watch your horse eating from a net they tend to consistently tilt the head from side to side, pulling the neck back and up, hollowing in the back and loosening the core. From a training perspective this is the opposite of what you are aiming for when you ride. Ideally we want to create connection and contact over the topline and engagement of the core to support the weight of a rider. A lower head position when eating will also reduce tension over the topline improving suppleness and relaxation - just think of the beloved carrot stretches!
As an animal musculoskeletal therapist I appreciate there are certain circumstances to why you might need to use a hay net, whether for health reasons, ease of mucking out.....……... The habit of putting up hay nets has become wide spread without much thought of the musculoskeletal impact or considering what is natural for the horse. But you need to ask yourselves.......is there a better way?

Can there be anything better than finding a place that has some really scenic yet arid natural beauty? Of course not and that is why thousands of visitors come to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area each year to enjoy some beautiful rides and some amazing sunsets. You can walk along the Canyon, drive through the geological formations or simply sit and watch the whole setup in awe. This is one place where every family must come while on a holiday to Vegas.
The normal visiting time period would be at least 2-3 hours and extend a little more if your participate in multiple activities like rock climbing, hiking and mountain biking. The 13 mile drive area is good for biking and you would be able to see the spectacular rock formations and the different textures of the rocks here. It is a great way to take a break from the glamour and bling of Vegas and move to an area that is all natural and easy going. In fact, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area is a striking contrast to what Vegas is famous for.
You can get an annual pass for the Red Rock Canyon at $30 per person. You will have to pay $7 for car/ trucks, $3 for motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians. Military personnel get free yearly passes if they are currently serving. You can even get the $80 America The Beautiful annual pass or the free access pass for the disabled. Senior citizens, over 62 years of age, get America The Beautiful Senior pass for $10 per person.
There are different day hikes and seasonal events that keep on happening in the Red Canyon. Therefore, you can easily become a part of them. The hike trails of this area are very popular so don't forget to go on one. Additionally, remember that you will be able to get your tickets on the ticket booth but they do not accept credit cards. Therefore, keep some cash ready. If you want to be here just a little longer, don't forget to camp at the Red Rock Canyon Campground. Remember that there can only be 9 people on a campsite and the charges are $15 per night for two vehicles. For group campers, 8 vehicles are allowed with 10 to 20 people and the charges are $40 per night.

Sally Cecilia Hawkins Biography:
Produced in London, England, in 1976, performer Sally Hawkins studied her craft in the famous Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She graduated in 1998 and moved to stage and movie work. Among her remarkable early roles was in All or Nothing (2002). In 2008, Hawkins starred in Happygolucky. She won a Golden Globe Award with this movie. Hawkins after costarred with Cate Blanchett in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine (2013).
Both of her parents, Jacqui and Colin, will be the successful writer-illustrator team behind numerous children's books. She spent her early years in London's Blackheath area with her older brother.
Hawkins was a timid kid who struggled with dyslexia. As she described to the Independent newspaper, getting into performing helped her both personally and academically. "English was consistently an academic area, there was a hurdle I found so difficult to break. However, when I spoke the words, I understood what they meant." Hawkins was thus taken with performance that she applied to the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Art. She admitted to the prestigious program.
In 2007, her first job with renowned director Woody Allen, Cassandra's Dream reach the big screen.
The next year, Hawkins had a career breakthrough using a starring role in Mike Leigh's Happygolucky. She plays a London schoolteacher named Poppy in the movie. Her character is among the very relentlessly cheerful characters in movie history. Hawkins' deft management of the character earned her wide acclaim as well as a Golden Globe win for the best performance by an actress in a comedy or musical.
She also starred opposite Miranda Richardson in Made in Dagenham, a movie concerning the 1968 women's strike with an English Ford auto plant, the exact same year.
She stars as Ginger, the working class sister of wealthy Ny socialite Jasmine (played by Cate Blanchett), in the movie. The film explores genetic pressures involving the pair, which makes for riveting viewing.

Our Recommendations for Drones in Schools
We often get asked, 'which drone should I buy for our school?' Well, here are some comments for micro drones, which weigh less than 100 grams.
The micro drones are great for schools just getting started as they are cheap, and the risk profile is relatively low. We have an eight-year-old son who has been using the micro drones since he was five. So, we know that young students can use the micro drones, but it is just the younger they are, the more space they need to fly as their hand-eye coordination isn't well advanced. And expect more crashes!
We find that from Year 5 upwards is the ideal age for class activities using drones, given one to two adults per class. Nothing wrong with incorporating them into the younger grades, but we recommend more supervision, which of course is not always feasible.
Parrot Mambo
This is / was our preferred drone, but just before Christmas 2018 they all went on sale and then were discontinued. Stocks are low, but you can still find them around at a few stores.
The Mambo is what we used in our programs for two years and it is a great drone for the following reasons:
- Price point – currently the base model (if you can get it) is AU$99;
- It is stable in flight;
- It has a downward facing camera which is good for doing mapping activities which align nicely to industry applications for the curriculum;
- It works well with Tynker for block coding, as well as Python and other more advanced scripting languages;
- Is sturdy and manages the rigours of students and classrooms; and
- Has an inbuilt lego attachment and other accessories that you can purchased.
Our recommendation is three batteries per drone, a battery charger, a set of spare propellers and propeller guards per drone. And of course with all the drones, remember the safety glasses!
DJI / Ryze Tello
The Tello came out in 2018 and they released a Tello EDU in late 2018. We have been testing the EDU. Overall it is a great drone to fly and is our preferred drone behind the Mambo. Here are our comments:
- It is a bit more expensive than the Mambo at $169 for the Tello and $219 for the EDU (you can get a discount through us);
- The largest difference between the Tello and Tello EDU is that the EDU allows more access to the Software Developers Kit (SDK), which is good for students wanting to do more advanced coding with Python. The rest of the drone is essentially the same;
- It has a good forward-facing camera that takes photos and video. It doesn't have a downward facing camera that is accessible yet (we say 'yet' as we hope in the future that the downward facing camera will be accessible. Currently it is only used for stabilisation);
- Both the Tello and Tello EDU can be coded using Scratch or block coding.
- The battery life is better than the Mambo, with around 11 minutes of flying in normal conditions (advertised at 13 minutes, but this is likely in perfect conditions);
- As an additional safety feature it has an interesting cage that you can buy to completely cover the propellers;
- While created by the brand Ryze, it is using technology from drone and technology juggernauts DJI and Intel respectively. We are hoping for big things here;
- We have found that the Tello EDU has some wifi interference issues when multiple drones are flying at once, controlled by separate tablets if using the black Tello app. This means that connections between drones and the tablets are lost and landing or controlling drones becomes problematic. This is likely caused by the camera streaming and taking up bandwidth. This is resolved, if you are flying multiple drones in the classroom, by using the Tello Edu app (orange one), as it doesn't stream the video.
Find out more about the Tello here – https://store.dji.com/product/tello?vid=38421
And the Tello EDU here – https://store.dji.com/product/tello-edu?vid=47091
The CoDrone is another micro drone that we have tested recently as well. Here are our comments on it:
- It is more expensive than the Tello and Mambo, but in our opinion not as good a drone;
- It is not as stable in flight as the Tello or Mambo and tiny amounts of a breeze make it drift;
- A camera is an optional extra;
- It comes with a remote controller (for the CoDrone Pro at $269) that you can build – our seven year old built it (see video – https://youtu.be/f9KaM_w5ggI). But the pieces are fragile looking and with pins etc, so not too sure how long it would last being built and taken apart multiple times; and
- It can be coded using block coding in its native app from Petrone.
No doubt there are many other options available out there for micro drones, but here is what we look for in the sub 100g category, in priority order.
- Price point that is affordable for schools to buy multiple craft;
- The drone has electronic stabilisation to make flying much easier;
- It can be coded using block coding and preferably other types of coding such as Python;
- It has at least a forward-facing camera, but preferably a downward facing camera; and
- It has a range of accessories, including spare batteries and a separate battery multi charge
We used to recommend the Parrot Mambo, but since stocks are so low, and there is no guarantee on the apps being maintained into the future, we recommend the Tello if you are just starting your drone fleet at schools! We don't believe that the Tello EDU provides extra benefits through the SDK for the majority of schools.
The CoDrone is more expensive than the Tello, but the capability of the Tello is superior.
If purchasing the Tello, then the Tello Boost Combo is a well-priced pack that provides accessories and spares for schools.
We would only recommend the Tello EDU for schools that are looking to do more advanced coding with their students, and if your school has an advanced IT capability (or up for a large challenge!) to work through the set up.
