We've been to Scotland twice now and both times we visited Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, once in the summer and once in the early spring. The summer brought about warmer temperatures and more greenery, but also more visitors. In April, we were met with much cooler temperatures, a brown-hued landscape and many trees without leaves, but not as many people. Though, truth be told, even when we visited in the summer, the crowds weren't enough to be bothersome. The park is comprised of 720 square miles (1,865 sq km) of unspoiled landscapes leaving plenty of space for you to escape the bustling cities and connect with nature! With a variety of transportation options including local buses, water buses, cycling, hiking, and well-marked roads, getting around Scotland's 1st national park is a cinch.
Things to Do Near Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond is the park's main attraction. It is the largest expanse of fresh water in all of mainland Britain. The loch contains 23 islands, is 4 miles (39 km) long and between 0.75 miles (1.21 km) and 5 miles (8.0 km) wide. For a great introduction to the park and its namesake loch, take a stroll along the Millennium Forest Path (1 mile/1.6 km) in Balmaha.
There are several other small towns along her shores you can visit that we'll discuss a little later. For other great viewpoints, take advantage of the parking locations around the perimeter of the loch, like the Jubilee Point picnic area or the visitors center at Inveruglas which contains the viewpoint An Ceann Mòr. This is one of several scenic structures throughout the park celebrating the Year of Innovation, Architecture, and Design (2016). For an even closer look at the loch, hop aboard a Cruise Loch Lomond boat to experience the beauty and tranquility of the loch while on the water.
Balloch Castle Country Park
Made up of 200 acres, Balloch Castle Country Park is a beautiful place to explore along the shores of Loch Lomond.
With miles and miles of trails to traverse, a 19th-century walled garden, plenty of great places for a picnic… oh, and a castle, the park is a wonderful spot to spend the afternoon.
Falls of Falloch
Located just over three miles from the village of Crianlarich on the A82 are the Falls of Falloch. Following a very brief walk on a designated trail, you will come to the point where the River Falloch falls 33 ft (10 m), creating a beautiful scene. The falls are also where you will find another one of the design structures celebrating the Year of Innovation, Architecture, and Design (2016). Created by John Kennedy, this steel structure, entitled Woven Sound, provides visitors with a close look at the falls.
Drover's Inn
Just a mile south of the Falls of Falloch, you will come upon the Drover's Inn. Stop in for a pint, a hearty meal, or stay a few nights in one of their 30 rooms. Though if you do stay the night, just know that there reportedly have been ghostly encounters at the inn. Nonetheless, it's a fascinating hotel with a stunning mountain backdrop right at the north end of Loch Lomond.
Small Towns in Loch Lomond
On the western side of Loch Lomond is the adorable village of Luss. Much of the current village dates to the 18th and 19th centuries. The Scottish drama Take the High Road was filmed on location here in the 80s and 90s. From the pier on the loch, the mountain of Ben Lomond dominates the skyline to the north.
The 19th-century parish church has a ceiling made from Scots pine rafters, beautiful Victorian stained-glass windows, and one of the most fascinating cemeteries we've visited in our travels. We came upon gravestones dating back to the early 1700s.
We stayed in the town of Helensburgh during our second visit to Loch Lomond. It was a great starting point for day trips throughout the national park.
The town itself is worth exploring, with its fascinating buildings, waterfront promenade, and several parks and gardens.
The bustling town of Callander lies just between the Highlands and the Lowlands, as it is located immediately south of the Highland Boundary Fault. It is a great town to explore on foot as you stroll past cafes, pubs, and souvenir shops.
Here you can wander through the oak woodlands that used to cover most of Scotland. Take a stroll along the shores of Loch Lomond on the Millennium Forest Path (1 mile/1.6 km) or climb to the top of Conic Hill (1,184 ft/361 m). Reward yourself with a tasty treat from the Old Tree Inn across the street from the visitor's center.
The Lochs of Loch Lomond National Park
Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park contains 22 lochs, including the park's main attraction – Loch Lomond, discussed earlier. While we didn't get a chance to explore all of them, here's a look at just a few!
Loch Katrine
The 11-mile long Loch Katrine is the setting of Sir Walter Scott's poem The Lady of the Lake. Hiking and biking paths run alongside the loch, making it a wonderfully scenic place to explore. For an exhilarating experience, climb the nearby Ben A'an for incredible views over the loch and surrounding area. For something totally unique, take a ride on Loch Katrine aboard the 100+ year old Steamship Sir Walter Scott.
This steamship has been cruising the scenic waterways of Loch Katrine since April 1, 1900. She is still powered by her original steam engine, though her boilers have since been replaced to be more environmentally friendly!
Loch Venachar
Loch Venachar is situated in the heart of the Trossachs between Callander and Brig o' Turk just over Duke's Pass via the A821. The loch is 4 miles (6.6 km) long, .6 miles (1 km) wide and up to 108 ft (33 m) deep in parts. It contains an abundance of brown and rainbow trout, though you need a fishing permit to fish from the shore or in a boat.
Loch Lubnaig
Nestled between the mountains of Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich, Loch Lubnaig creates a picturesque scene perfect for renting a canoe and paddling on the loch. Here you will find another design structure celebrating the Year of Innovation, Architecture, and Design, entitled Faerie Hollow.
Loch Voil
To see the final structure in the Scenic Routes initiative, we passed Rob Roy's grave site and ventured out to Loch Voil. LookOut is set in the middle of a field between Loch Voil and Loch Doine reflecting the scenic surroundings. We were more impressed with the beautiful landscapes than we were with the structure itself, as it was covered in animal droppings, but it was still a nice road trip nonetheless.
Wildlife in Loch Lomond
Wildlife is abundant throughout the park. Keep an eye out for osprey, golden eagles, red squirrels, red deer, otters and seals, and of course those adorably shaggy highland cows!
The Lodge Forest Visitor Center
Located in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, the Lodge Forest Visitor Center is a wonderful place to explore nature and experience wildlife. Follow the Waterfall Trail to gaze upon the impressive Little Fawn Waterfall. Thanks to a wildlife hide we were able to spot a few indigenous red squirrels along with a wide array of beautiful birds. The Lodge also has live CCTV footage in the nest of ospreys for a unique viewing opportunity. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can take a ride on two of Britain's longest zip wires 150ft above the forest floor at Go Ape! located at the visitor center.
Scenic Views in Loch Lomond
Duke's Pass
Duke's Pass is a 7 mile (11 km) stretch of road starting at the Lodge Forest Visitor Center in Aberfoyle. It takes motorists and cyclists through some of the most scenic parts of the Trossachs landscape. For a minor scenic detour from the route, take Three Lochs Forest Drive, a quiet forest drive complete with scenic walks.
Rest and Be Thankful
Be sure to stop off at this appropriately-named scenic viewpoint along the A83. It is the highest point on this road at 803 ft above sea level, dividing Glen Kinglas from Glen Croe. Take a moment to 'rest and be thankful' for the fact that you have the opportunity to explore beautiful Scotland!
Just a little ways down the road from this scenic viewpoint, you'll pass the picturesque setting of Butterbridge.
Hikes in Loch Lomond
Though there are hundreds of miles of hiking trails throughout the part, we only partook in a few. All the more reason for us to go back! We found some of the greatest hiking options in Argyll Forest Park on the western edge of the national park.
Big Trees Walk
The 120-acre Benmore Botanic Garden boasts a collection of 300 species of rhododendron, along with an impressive collection of plants from Scotland and around the world. Just across the street from the garden entrance is the Big Trees Walk.
Wander through Californian Redwood, Western Hemlock, and Douglas Fir trees. The trail is steep with a few navigable obstacles like the fallen Silver Fir tree that was brought down in the Boxing Day gales of 1998.
Puck's Glen
Puck's Glen was definitely one of our favorite finds in the park! The trail is actually connected to the Big Trees Walk, though we only did part of the Big Trees trail and started Puck's Glen from its car park just a short ways down the road.
Narrow paths complete with wooden bridges led past cascading waterfalls creating a fairytale atmosphere.
Castles in Loch Lomond
Dumbarton Castle
Located 240 feet (73 m) atop a volcanic outcrop known as Dumbarton Rock sits Dumbarton Castle. The castle served as a royal refuge during the Dark Ages and has the longest recorded history of any stronghold in Scotland.
After a leg-trembling 557 steps, you are rewarded with outstanding views over the Firth of Clyde from the White Tower Crag.
Inverarary Castle
We didn't actually visit Inverarary, though we had a great view of the town and its neo-gothic fairytale castle from across Loch Fyne.
So, as you can see by this lengthy post, there is plenty to do in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Though we have now visited twice, we could visit a third time and still have countless options of things to do and see! With its 720 square miles (1,865 sq km) containing 22 lochs, there is certainly no shortage of places to explore within the park.

Journal Article
Fluid Dynamic and Acoustic Optimization Methodology of a Motorbike Intake Airbox Using Multilevel Numerical CFD Models and Experimental Validation Tests
In this work a multilevel CFD analysis have been applied for the design of an intake air-box with improved characteristics of noise reduction and fluid dynamic response. The approaches developed and applied for the optimization process range from the 1D to fully 3D CFD simulation, exploring hybrid approaches based on the integration of a 1D model with quasi-3D and 3D tools. In particular, the quasi-3D strategy is exploited to investigate several configurations, tailoring the best trade-off between noise abatement at frequencies below 1000 Hz and optimization of engine performances. Once the best configuration has been defined, the 1D-3D approach has been adopted to confirm the prediction carried out by means of the simplified approach, studying also the impact of the new configuration on the engine performances.

In 1978, Charlotte native Melvin F. Graham founded Graham Enterprises, one of the Carolinas' leading real estate development and investment companies. Currently, Graham serves as chairman and chief executive officer. Graham Enterprises specializes in golf courses, residential communities, commercial development, and property acquisitions. Over the years Graham has been involved in all aspects of the design, planning, construction, marketing, and operations of numerous projects, primarily in the Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia.
Additionally, Graham Enterprises owns and operates golfcourses, retail centers, office distribution centers, mini-storage facilities, and various other types of income-producing real estate. Graham's hands-on experience and wide range of real work ethics, all help position Graham Enterprises for unprecedented success in the 21st century. Those close to Graham often comment on his passion and tireless efforts to enhance the communities and cities he works in, and the numerous evangelical Christian and charitable organizations he both serves and supports. Graham serves on the board of the Billy Graham Evangelical Association. Graham is the nephew of Billy Graham. Graham also serves on the board of Samaritan's Purse, World Medical Missions, and Southern Evangelical Seminary.
Mel's secret to his success is relying on common sense. "I'd rather have a thimble full of common sense than a truck load of book sense" – one of his grandfather's favorite quotes has been his way of navigating the real estate development business. Raised in an environment where hard work meant getting the job done no matter how long it took and where Sundays were for the Lord, he learned the basics that have kept him on track.

From around 610 A.D. to around 630 A.D., Muhammad stole passages from the Bible and added his insane imaginations to create the Koran. Also, the first half of the Koran says "hate no one" and the second half of the Koran says "hate everyone." This has resulted in "schizophrenia" throughout the Muslim community and explains why insanity is more common among Muslims than non-Muslims.

I'm at my wit's end. I had already watched the installation videos, and installing goes perfectly—the orange carrier frame for the CPU fits neatly in the black rails, everything goes down and clicks into place, but the torx screws won't thread at all. There appears to be a 0.5 to 1 mm difference in clearance compared to the PnP cap and dummy carrier frame that came with the motherboard. Nothing looks bent or out of place. This height difference is preventing the short torx screws from engaging with the threads at all.
If I take out the CPU with orange carrier frame and re-insert the PnP cap and dummy carrier frame supplied with the motherboard, the torx screws thread normally. I've gone back and forth between the dummy ones and the CPU multiple times, and every time, the CPU won't thread, but the dummy ones thread perfectly.
ASUS and AMD support are clueless.

Pretty much all comic readers have one book or specific character that is hands down their favorite. They will defend the books or the series of said character to the grave. Some people have a love for Spider-Man, some Superman, and of course, Batman. For the last four years, mine character has been Harley Quinn. The writing team of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti have brought some much depth to Harley as a character in the last five years. They've taken this character in places that no other writer prior has taken her. She's been a sidekick to Power Girl, teamed up with Wonder Woman and Zatanna, brought down the Penguin; just to name a few.
However, at the turn of spring this year, the couple hung up their pencils on the book and moved on to other projects. This was their grand re-entrance to Harley & friends. Given their history on the book and the mini-series, Harley's Little Black Book, you'd think this would be a slam dunk. There in which is where the problem lies. It's actually, kind of boring.
Palmiotti and Conner create this unlikely friendship between Gossamer & Quinn as they hunt down the Joker for putting robots in her city. Only he's not doing it. The revelation of who is truly behind the robots feels cheap and forced. While the overall book isn't up to par with the rest of the writing's team previous Quinn books – it's not without its' charm. They are several moments littered throughout the book where I was laughing aloud and looking like a fool. Hey, it's worth it.
While the story throughout the book aren't always the strongest, the art does indeed pick up where the writing falls short. The artist, Pier Brito, does create an environment where the art does pop and come alive. Given the nature of the story it does go through different color palettes but Brito still shines even during the darkest moments.
Overall, Harley Quinn & Gossamer #1, feels like a missed opportunity. The overarching story feels flooded with an unlikely match with even worse chemistry. This does provide a decent number of laughs but its' not enough to save the final product. The redeeming factor of this book, however, is the art. Brito beautifully shines with every panel and every interaction.

Note that for Worst Nodes of the Year you only need to check once a year or so whenever there's a "blocker" (i.e. a huge negative reputation node written by someone else) on the Worst Nodes list. That is why it is such a rare feat: you need a full year without some random troll posting an absolute shocker. The last such shocker was Re^4: Canonization Without Representation (rep:-27) by trippledubs - which disappeared from Worst Nodes of the Year on March 18 2018.

Best Comfortable Pants at Nordstrom
I Wear These $38 Pants Everywhere — They Look So Expensive and Come in 4 Colours!
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. POPSUGAR has affiliate and advertising partnerships so we get revenue from sharing this content and from your purchase.
It's no secret that wearing denim isn't always the most comfortable choice, especially when you're sitting for long periods of time. In the last few years, I finally started to ditch my jeans for cute and comfy trousers. I'm officially never going back. My closet is filled with sleek work slacks and soft track pants, but there's one pair I always turn to: my favourite Topshop Slim Kick Flare Trousers ($38).
I discovered these on my annual window shopping tour of Nordstrom and couldn't say no to the superaffordable price. I bought them in black and they literally go with everything I own. I wear them with sneakers and booties to work, and most recently I wore them on a night out with heels to a club. Whether I'm styling with tube tops or button-down blouses, they go with it all. My favourite part: the cropped flare, which adds a little extra something to what could be a totally plain pair.
After receiving a ton of compliments, I went back for more and got the cool maroon shade. I can't imagine living without them. Spruce up your wardrobe and trade in those dreaded tight skinny jeans for these sleek trousers.

A Chilled Night Of Atmospheric Music.
A busy night at Manchester's many venues, but Jake Bugg still managed to pack out Manchester Academy for an incredible show.
Jake Bugg is one of the biggest solo artists in the indie/alternative music scene. His incredible talents have been compared to the likes of Bob Dylan, and his ability to grip a crowd when he performances hasn't gone unnoticed. Tonight, he proved just how capable he is of doing what he does best, playing his incredibly well written music to a bunch of adoring fans.
After two strong supports from Maisie Murray and O.N.R, the crowd were warmed up and ready for Jake Bugg to take to the stage with his incredible band, and deliver some of the finest music around at the moment. From 'Trouble Town', to 'Ballad Of Mr John', 'Lightning Bolt' to 'Broken' his set list showcased his incredible ability to be young and energetic, but also his fantastic skill for writing songs which just grip the audience, leaving them completely in the moment, even if it is just for a few minutes at a time.
Going into tonight's show, I was wary of what the energy levels would be like, I was expecting a much quieter affair to what I am used to, and whilst it may not have been full of mosh pits and flying pints of questionable fluids, it was one of the best gig atmospheres I have ever been a part of. Everyone was there to enjoy the music, to respect the artist, and to be trapped in many moments of sheer bliss as Jake Bugg delivered his delicate lyrics and soft acoustic guitar, but at the same time, everyone was ready to dance around and sing at the top of their voices when Bugg donned his battered black Start and delivered his more upbeat tracks.
It's the ability to have those two opposite types of track fit side by side in a set list which sets Jake Bugg apart from the rest, and the way he delivered his music to the people of Manchester really showed just how good Jake Bugg is at what he does.

Back to Forever (Fat Possum)
Reviewed by Doug Freeman, Fri., Oct. 4, 2013
LissieBack to Forever (Fat Possum)
Although Lissie's initial EPs pigeonholed her as a singer-songwriter, the dusky, soulful pop of her full-length debut, 2010's Catching a Tiger, pushed her sound well beyond folk roots without sacrificing the effectiveness of her powerful vocals. Sophomore album Back to Forever pushes that trajectory even further afield, the Illinois native exploding on opening tracks "The Habit" and "Further Away (Romance Police)" with pure Stevie Nicks dynamism, the latter even scorched by Seventies guitar. "Shameless" clips with a rough, scathing contempt, but "They All Want You" and "Sleepwalking" settle down into smoother, no less emotionally punctured patterns, then burst into rousing climaxes constantly threatening until their inevitable, cathartic release. The anthemic "I Don't Wanna Go to Work" and bitter balladry of "Mountaintop Removal" feel distinctively of the moment, while "Love in the City" and "I Bet on You" brokenly search on a disc of dark corners couched in defiantly bright pop.

Retrospective, nonrandomized controlled study on autoadjusting, dual-pressure positive airway pressure therapy for a consecutive series of complex insomnia disorder patients

Purpose: Emerging evidence shows that positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) in chronic insomnia patients (proposed "complex insomnia" disorder) leads to substantial decreases in insomnia severity. Although continuous PAP (CPAP) is the pressure mode most widely researched, intolerance to fixed pressurized air is rarely investigated or described in comorbidity patients. This retrospective study examined dual pressure, autoadjusting PAP modes in chronic, complex insomnia disorder patients.
Patients and methods: Chronic insomnia disorder patients (mean [SD] insomnia severity index [ISI] =19.11 [3.34]) objectively diagnosed with OSA or UARS and using either autobilevel PAP device or adaptive servoventilation (ASV) device after failing CPAP therapy (frequently due to intolerance to pressurized air, poor outcomes, or emergence of CSA) were divided into PAP users (≥20 h/wk) and partial users (<20 h/wk) for comparison. Subjective and objective baseline and follow-up measures were analyzed.
Results: Of the 302 complex insomnia patients, PAP users (n=246) averaged 6.10 (1.78) nightly hours and 42.71 (12.48) weekly hours and partial users (n=56) averaged 1.67 (0.76) nightly hours and 11.70 (5.31) weekly hours. For mean (SD) decreases in total ISI scores, a significant (group × time) interaction was observed (F[1,300]=13.566; P<0.0001) with PAP users (–7.59 [5.92]; d=1.63) showing superior results to partial users (-4.34 [6.13]; d=0.81). Anecdotally, patients reported better tolerability with advanced PAP compared to previous experience with CPAP. Both adaptive servoventilation and autobilevel PAP showed similar ISI score improvement without statistical differences between devices. Total weekly hours of PAP use correlated inversely with change in insomnia symptoms (r=-0.256, P<0.01).
Conclusion: Insomnia severity significantly decreased in patients using autoadjusting PAP devices, but the study design restricts interpretation to an association. Future research must elucidate the interaction between insomnia and OSA/UARS as well as the adverse influence of pressure intolerance on PAP adaptation in complex insomnia patients. Randomized controlled studies must determine whether advanced PAP modes provide benefits over standard CPAP modes in these comorbidity patients.
Keywords: insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, upper airway resistance syndrome, CPAP failure, autobilevel, adaptive servoventilation

Litigation Lawyers in Lawndale
In Lawndale, California, a civil deposition is a part of the discovery process in civil litigation.
In Lawndale, California, "discovery" is a time-consuming procedure that occurs before a case goes to trial. In the process, each side of the lawsuit is legally required to disclose all of the relevant information they have in their possession to the other side.
One way to obtain this information in Lawndale, California is to simply sit down with someone involved in the dispute, or with knowledge of some of the issues, and ask them questions. This can be done through a civil deposition, which is basically a Q&A session between a lawyer, and the person being deposed. A lawyer for the other side will also be present. The person being deposed is answering their questions under oath, just as if they were testifying in court. Because of this, it's important to get their statements on the record. For that purpose, a court reporter or videographer will be present.
Conducting A Civil Deposition in Lawndale, California
Depositions are usually conducted in Lawndale, California if a person's testimony will take several days, or more, to deliver. By doing this before a trial, the jury can be presented just with the testimony that turns out to be relevant, saving everybody a good deal of time. It is also useful if there is any reason to suspect that the witness will be unable to show up in court.
Civil Depositions in Lawndale, California, can take a very long time to be completed, usually lasting several days, and sometimes going on for weeks. So, people who are called to give depositions in Lawndale, California should be prepared for some significant inconvenience.
To mitigate this, the law of Lawndale, California usually entitles people being deposed to reimbursement. They can be compensated for travel expenses, lodging, and a can be given a small amount of money simply for their time. However, this is meant to be reimbursement for the time and expense incurred in attending a deposition, and it is most definitely not payment for the witness to give testimony that's favorable to one side or the other.
If you are being deposed in Lawndale, California you absolutely must answer all the questions truthfully and completely, to the best of your knowledge. You are under oath, and if you lie, and are caught, you could be charged with perjury, which can carry jail time.
How Can A Lawndale, California Lawyer Help?
If you are the plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit, you almost certainly already have a Lawndale, California lawyer. If either party to the lawsuit calls you for a deposition, your lawyer will have plenty of advice for you. You should, of course, follow that advice to the letter.
If you are not directly involved in the lawsuit, you might still have to appear at a deposition, if you have information that's relevant to the case in Lawndale, California. You probably don't need to hire a lawyer in that case, but it might be a good idea to at least get a consultation from one.

- We have finally escaped our mid-November heat wave. It is cold and raining. And with the rain has come yet another cold for Baby Genius–and likely for J as well. Really? Damn bakery worker.
- Tomorrow, we may or may not be attending BG's final Music Together class for the season, depending on his illness. We hope we can attend. He has soaked this class up like the little sponge that he is. It's fascinating seeing how well he uses instruments now, how attentive he is to the songs, how well he knows them, and that he definitely has favorites.
- BG is in love with his teacher. He gazes at her adoringly while she sings, and he always asks to go to her at the end of class. She holds him while he waves bye-bye to J and I. When I try to take him back, he refuses. He loves this woman and she loves him. We have urged her not to break his heart, and she promises she won't. (On another note, she also has informed us that she would love to babysit for us anytime once we move to the new town–and we would totally trust this woman. )
- We get to have Thanksgiving by ourselves this year, which is a really lovely treat. We have opted to go 100% local and vegetarian for the day, and we're very excited to be making a stuffed pumpkin (thanks to the great idea from the lovely ladies at Pumpkin Passion). Yum.
- We have recently learned that BG is mildly anemic, so we have to take him in for an appointment for yet another hemoglobin check and then likely some supplements. I would prefer to really bulk up the iron in his diet, but because he is, in fact, a toddler, and we can't guarantee what he's going to like from one day to the next, we'll likely go with the supplement for awhile. Boo.
Happy weekend. I hope it's lovely for all of you.

Police are scouring social media, including Twitter and Facebook, to get a better idea of what is happening inside the Sydney siege.
At least one hostage appears to have posted on Facebook about Monday's siege and some of the gunman's demands.
The post has since been taken down.
Scores of police officers are monitoring social media channels for posts like these that help shape how they handle the tense stand-off.
"We are monitoring what is happening (on Twitter and Facebook) and that is forming a part of our tactical response in how to handle this," NSW Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said.
Ms Burn said a number of mediums were being used but the community needed to be careful not to overreact.
"We are aware of that and we are monitoring it and we are using it as part of our strategy," she said.

Indian Visa for Myanmar CitizenMyanmar Citizen Indian Visa
Putzmeister Modi is announcing free visa for Myanmar residents.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister NarendraModi issued a free visa to all Myanmar residents wishing to travel to India. Mr Modi also expressed his concern with Myanmar over the Rakhine state in which the military has taken a sharp stance against the Rohingyas, causing a massive outbreak. Mr Modi said in a co-sponsored speech to the press with Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi after discussions at parliamentary party side forums.
"â??We are hoping that together we can find a way out that respects Myanmar's union and regional integrity,â? Modi said. Aung San Suu Kyi is under strong global urgency to end the allegations of violation of human dignity against the Rohingyas who are deprived of Myanmar nationality. In Bangladesh, the UNHCR spokesman said that at least 123,000 Rohingyas have passed the border in the last few day.
Their last expedition began on August 25 after Rohingya insurgent riot ers launched an attack in Rakhine, resulting in a violence by the Myanmar army. At the beginning of the meeting, he met State Councillor Aung San Suu Kyi and the two heads of state and met to discuss ways of further strengthening our bi-lateral relationship.
"In a tweeting, Prime Minister Modi and City Councillor Aung San Suu Kyi will gather in Myanmar to debate the further consolidation of the relationship between India and Myanmar," said PRIM. Taoiseach Modi with State Councillor Aung San Suu Kyi," said Raveesh Kumar, Foreign Ministry spokesman. Ahead of his trip, Modi said India and Myanmar were also considering enhancing current co-operation in the areas of peace and counter-terrorism, commerce and investments, infrastructures and energies, and cultural issues.
Mr. Modi reached here on the second stage of his two-nation journey, during which he traveled to the south-eastern China town of Xiamen, where he participated in the yearly BRICS peak and conducted discussions with the President of China Xi Jinping, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin and other leading personalities of the whole wide globe. It is Modi's first bi-lateral tour of Myanmar.
Myanmari' s Burmese MEP and Suu Kyi paid a visit to India last year. Burma is one of India's key neighbors and has a 1,640 km long shared frontier with a number of north-eastern states such as Nagaland and Manipur.

10 Delicious Holiday Recipes From Around The World
The time for indulgence is almost here, guys! But while we're waiting for our stuffed turkeys, pavs and barbecued prawns, here's a little holiday inspiration from across the globe. Prepare your stomach for some #foodspo.
From cakes, bakes and noodle dishes to a deliciously decadent chocolate drink, the world is full of crazy good holiday traditions that we just don't see enough of down here in Aus. So in the spirit of giving, here's 10 excellent holiday recipes from around the world that'll ignite both your imagination and appetite.
1 / 10
Panettone, Italy
Maybe I'm biased based on my heritage, but Panettone – a traditional sweet bread loaf from Milan – is the number one best food, ever, in the entire world. If it were physically possible to eat my body weight in this dome shaped bread, I would. Typically filled with candied orange, citron and lemon zest, raisins and even chocolate, Panettone is also enjoyed in southeastern France, Spain, Malta, Germany, Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland and numerous countries across North and South America. Basically, it's the world's favourite Christmas cake.
Recipe here (but it's a lot easier to buy). Pro tip: pair it with warm custard for the best dessert ever.
2 / 10
Toshikoshi Soba, Japan
Slurp in the New Year with buckwheat soba noodles in a hot dashi, mirin and soy sauce soup. Tashikoshi Soba is traditionally enjoyed before midnight on New Year's Eve, and is said to bring longevity and prosperity for the new year – that's not to say you can't enjoy this delicious soup any other time of the year as well.
3 / 10
Imbuljuta tal-Qastan, Malta
Imbuljuta tal-Qastan is a traditional Maltese drink commonly served after midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and again on New Year's Eve. It's made using cocoa, chestnuts, cloves and citrus zest, which is basically the perfect blend of hot, spicy and seasonal. (Bonus: it's vegan!)
4 / 10
Bibingka, Philipines
This decadent looking pastry is made from rice flour and coconut milk and is baked in banana leaf-lined terracotta pots. The end result is a soft and spongy cake that's subtly infused with the unique aroma of toasted banana leaves. The cake is then topped with kesong puti (a locally made white cheese), butter, grated coconut and sometimes pineapple or a salted duck egg. The best part? It's served at breakfast time.
5 / 10
Doro Wot, Ethiopia
For Ethiopians, no holiday meal is complete without a serve of Doro Wat, a long-stewed dish of chilli flavoured chicken, red Berbere spice mix, vinegar, lemon, kibbeh and tons and tons of onion. The stew is hearty and rich, and is served on spongy injera bread for all to eat. Mmhm.
6 / 10
Laufabrauð, Iceland
Laufabrauð is a traditional Icelandic bread made of a thin, wafer-like dough and often cut into intricate geometric patterns. After decorating this crisp flatbread is then deep-fried and eaten as an accompaniment to Christmas dinner. Laufabrauð can be bought in bakeries or made at home as a family as part of Christmas preparations.
7 / 10
Porkkanalaatikko, Finland
With Christmas smack bang in the middle of winter for the Finnish, it makes sense that they'd like to load up on rich, hot dishes – case in point Porkkanalaatiko, a hearty spiced carrot casserole and the ultimate side dish. The dish is primarily based around carrots and rice baked in a custard of eggs and milk. This looks delicious.
8 / 10
Bûche de Noël, France
Nothing says European Christmas like a warm log fire – a tradition that apparently extends to the dessert table as well. The traditional Bûche de Noël, or 'yule log' as it's commonly known abroad, is a heavenly flourless chocolate cake shaped like a log. There's not much else to it except that it includes whipped cream (yum) and people have been known to get really into the decorating process.
9 / 10
Moros de Guandules con Coco, Dominican Republic
It's possible no other country appreciates guandules, or pigeon peas, as much as the Dominican Republic does. They love this simple legume so much, pretty much the entire country decides to eat it in this very special Christmas Eve dinner dish. Moros de Guandules con Coco is simpler than its name suggests – all it is is rice, pigeon peas and coconut milk.
10 / 10
Hallaca, Venezuela
Hallaca is corn dough stuffed with a stew of beef, pork, and chicken, adorned with raisins, capers and olives, and folded in plantain leaves, tied with string and boiled. The Venezuelans actually see hallacas as little Christmas gifts that's lovingly prepared for the recipient and enjoyed on Christmas Eve. And what's better than the gift of food? Nothing.

Yellow dragon fruit is the new super fruit that no one wants to miss. Its health benefits include high vitamin concentration, antioxidants, and minerals. Although it is primarily seen as a new fruit in many places around the world, it has been a typical delicacy in South America countries for decades. So, you cannot be left behind as others enjoy the benefits of the fantastic yellow dragon fruit. Here is everything that you need to know.
When is a Yellow Dragon Fruit Ripe
Whether you have farmed dragon fruits or you are buying from the market, you should only consume the ripe one. A ripe dragon fruit appears bright with a deep yellow color. Check again, and you will also note some blotches on the skin.
How to Tell If a Yellow Dragon Fruit is Ripe
There are several ways you can use to tell if the yellow dragon fruit is ripe. Here are the common three options:
- Look at the dragon fruit that had developed a deep yellow outlook
When the dragon fruit is unripe, it has a characteristic green color. As it matures and ripens, the color turns from green to yellow. It should also have a few spots, dark blotches on the skin.
- Check for withered wings
If you check a dragon fruit closely, it has some leafy wings that extend off the fruit. You can tell when the fruit is ripe by looking at these wings. When it is ripe, the wings start to wither and turn brown. Besides, you will realize that the fruit becomes loosely connected to the plant and comes off easily.
- Press the yellow dragon fruit gently
Like other fruits such as mangoes, the dragon fruit becomes soft and mushy when ripe. Therefore, hold it and press lightly to feel how soft it is. If it is still hard, it might require a few more days to ripen.
How to Eat a Yellow Dragon Fruit
In most cases, the dragon fruit is eaten raw. You can opt to cut it up, blend, or freeze it. Besides, you can also grill it. Grill it? That is right. You can grill the yellow dragon fruit on a skewer together with other fruits like the pineapple.
Note that even though the outer shell appears tough and intimidating, it is relatively easy to cut. Simply place the fruit on a chopping board and cut through with a sharp knife. Then, remove the juicy flesh just like you do with an avocado. Then use the mound on salad or top with yogurt.
The good thing about the yellow dragon fruit is that you can use it in most recipes. What do you think of preparing special yellow dragon fruit juice with nuts, and serve with popcorns when watching an evening movie? Well, it is time to get creative with this amazing fruit!
NOTE: The skin of yellow dragon fruit is not edible!
How to Grow Yellow Dragon Fruit
Although the yellow dragon fruit is native to South American countries such as Nicaragua and Costa Rica, it is also farmed in many places across the globe. For example, it is grown in South East Asia, California, Nevada, Virginia and most tropical countries. Therefore, you can also grow it either for commercial purpose or home consumption on the kitchen garden. So how do you go about it? Here are four simple steps to growing the yellow dragon fruit:
- Buy the yellow dragon fruit plants from sellers
The simplest method of growing the yellow dragon fruit is buying the potted plant and taking it to your garden. All you need to do is watering and it will continue growing to maturity. But if you are more exploratory, you could also propagate the plant from seeds.
To grow it from seeds, you need to get the seeds from the fruit and cover them with a light layer of damp soil. In a few weeks, the seeds will germinate into yellow dragon fruit plants.
- Plant the dragon fruit plants on well-draining soils
For your dragon fruit plants to do well, it is crucial to plant them properly draining soils. Because the dragon fruit plant is a dry land type of plant, it means that you do need a lot of watering. Consider using a large pot with an open bottom and fill it with well-drained soil. Then, place it on your kitchen garden and plant the yellow dragon fruit plant.
- Providing nutrients for your plant
The best option to provide the nutrients that your plant needs is adding animal manure. You should also mulch it with dry leaves. To boost nutrients availability, you could also provide nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus fertilizers to the plant. Consider using commercial fertilizer about three times every year.
- Plant support
In many cases, the yellow dragon fruit plant will grow tall and start bending because of its weight. Therefore, you should consider providing support to the plant so that the fruits develop above the ground to keep them clean and away from predators.
- Flowering and pollination
The good thing about the yellow dragon fruit is that you do not have to worry about pollination. When it starts flowering, insects that are attracted to the flowers will help with pollination.
- Harvesting
Note that most dragon fruits rarely ripen off the plant. Therefore, it is advisable only to harvest ripe fruits. Simply check that the color of the fruit has changed from green to yellow. You should also apply some little pressure on the fruit to check if it is soft.
Before picking the yellow dragon fruit, make sure to remove the thorns using a sharp object such as pliers. When the fruit is ripe, the thorns should be easy to remove. However, be careful to avoid getting pricked.
Where to Buy Yellow Dragon Fruit
When many people hear of the health benefits associated with the yellow dragon fruit, the first question that runs through the mind is; "Where can I buy this 'magical' fruit?" Well, there are several options that you can use to get it.
- Place your order through Amazon. Amazon, the giant e-commerce is a great option to get high-quality yellow dragon fruits. The store works with suppliers from central and South America and will ship the fruits promptly to your door.
- Buy from stores that stock the fruit. As the yellow dragon fruit becomes more common, more dealers are starting to stock it. For example, you can purchase the fruit directly from stores such as Wal-Mart.
- Buy the fruit from open groceries. In most cities, you will get fruit markets that stock an assortment of fruits, including the yellow dragon fruit. For example, people living in Miami and areas around the city can get the yellow dragon fruit in the Southwest Community Farmers' Market.
The Final Take
The benefits of the yellow dragon fruit have made it a new sensation in the globe. This post has demonstrated what you should look for to know when the fruit is ripe, how to grow it, and where to buy. It is time to start eating the yellow dragon fruit.

The Usagi Yojimbo series has been published by four different companies. The first publisher was Fantagraphics Books, the second was Mirage Publishing, and the third is Dark Horse Comics. As of June 2019, Usagi Yojimbo is now published in full color by IDW Publishing which broke Top 100 comics this June as IDW's highest sold IP that month.
"We're all ecstatic to have Stan Sakai and Usagi join the IDW family, Usagi Yojimbo has been one of the most consistently wonderful comic-book series for decades now, a bright spot in publishing matched only by the consummate skill and professionalism its creator Stan brings to everything he does. It's a thrill to not only be able to publish new Usagi comics but also present them all in an all-new, vibrantly colored way." - Chris Ryall (IDW President & Publisher/Chief Creative Officer)
was born in Kyoto, Japan, grew up in Hawaii, and currently lives in California. His creation, Usagi Yojimbo, first appeared in 1984. Usagi has been on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as toys, on clothing, in comics, and in a series of trade paperback collections.
Stan is a recipient of numerous awards including: National Cartoonists Society Comic Book Division Award, six Eisner Awards, five Spanish Haxturs, an Inkpot, an American Library Association Award, a Cultural Ambassador Award from the Japanese American National Museum, and a couple of Harvey Awards including one for Best Cartoonist.

Steve Auerbach
Terence is a renowned genius of the guitar; playing two guitar necks at ones while singing. I play on the two tracks above. What I Don't Have features Bon Jovi bassist Hugh McDonald.
I produced the music and sang this 2008 Truth About Tobacco Campaign's TV spots for Crowell Advertising.
I loved working with this artist. We met in his 72nd year and demo'd up tracks at my studio for his bandmates from the 1960s to learn and come to SLC for a reunion show and album. Kenvin Lyman, the Utah Kid was a genius; the renaissance man who painted in light. Google him! This track is scratch demo of the arrangement I came up with for this song about the home he grew up in Morgan, Utah. All of the instruments are Apple Logic instruments.
Auerbach, Thomas & Flanders is a trio where I play left hand bass with the drummer, Shawn Thomas with John Flanders on woodwinds. This is just a rehearsal recoding, but all I have of this. Some clams, but fun!
I used to joke that I was raised at the intersection of Broadway and Madison Avenue. The two streets do not intersect, but for me, they did. My dad was a 'Mad Man' - a Madison Avenue women's fashion advertising man and my grandfather was the Concertmaster at The Broadway Theater for 20+ years.
Sitting in the orchestra pit with my Grandfather as a young boy and hearing how all of those instruments sounded together up-close left me in awe of my grandfather...and music, itself. That, plus seeing how the graphic artists pasted-up ads for magazines gave me a taste for visual and musical arts.
Sticking to music, I started on clarinet at age 9 or so in elementary and continued in high school band and jazz ensemble. By age 12, I tried guitar because I had become a huge rock fan by then - but I didn't do very well with it. At age 15 I heard Chick Corea play synthesizers with Return to Forever, Rick Wakeman with Yes and Joe Zawinul with Weather Report and I knew that I had to learn synthesizers, but piano first!
I took a few private piano lessons and talked my high school jazz director, Bill Ellington into letting me play piano in the jazz band. Mr. Ellington had been playing piano and conducting the jazz ensemble a la Count Basie. Mr. Ellington allowed it and gave me a practice room key on the condition that I meet him after school for jazz piano lessons.
A practice room key! I had the 'keys to the kingdom'! My music friends met me there after-school to jam until the janitor kicked us out! We had kids piled up in there with amps and drums and horns and stuff - it was crazy fun! Growing up in the 1970s in New York, thanks to the Civil Rights Act of 1968, NY schools were by then, integrated. So I was bussed to the black neighborhood for school and vice-versa. This provided me black music partners who shared albums and tapes of Parliament-Funkadelic and Al Green I shared the same from Frank Zappa and Led Zeppelin.
In my high school years, Bill Ellington managed to inspire music careers for me, the A&M Records R&B hit-machine Atlantic Starr, Mark Plati my High School Jazz Ensemble bassist and David Bowie music director and co-producer and many more. Mr. Ellington was also my mentor for my senior project; writing, arranging, copying, rehearsing and performing two pieces for a 20+ piece big band that I talked my friends into doing!
I played jazz, rock and funk keyboards and blues harmonica throughout my teens. Back then, you only had to be 18 to get into a nightclub. So between 17 and 19, I had been gigging and recording with a couple of bands in New York. I didn't like the scene and moved to Los Angeles.
In LA, my first friend was Peter Wesley, a DJ at at Madame Wong's and Cathay De Grande - two seminal LA punk/new wave clubs. He invited me to a house party the night the Talking Heads album, Remain in Light was released. It was totally different music from any we had heard before; Talking Heads meets Afrobeat. It was groundbreaking.
There were a bunch of kids my age at the listening party - we were all dancing like maniacs to this new music. Four of the kids also played music, so we got together and jammed on some funk in a Chilean kid, Alain's mom's garage. We tried to make a funk band, but Alain Johannes got a contract with MCA that year with his band, What is This? (later Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, PJ Harvey, Chris Cornell, Arctic Monkeys and more) and the other kids; Hillel on guitar, Mike (Flea) on Flugelhorn and Jack on drums went on to become the Red Hot Chili Peppers that summer.
I landed a job at Guitar Center in Sherman Oaks selling synthesizers, which were all the rage at the time and scores of famous artists and producers came down from Laurel Canyon, Coldwater Canyon, Encino Hills and so on - all wanting the latest sounds on their records.
I met most of my clients there and made my career as a synthesizer mentor/consultant to rock and pop stars and producers. I was a recording session keyboard player, synthesist, sound designer and pre-production consultant for Rick James, Berlin, Rockwell, Harry Balk, Avatar Records, Tina Marie, Kansas, Devo, Van Halen, Kenny Loggins, Smokey Robinson, Sonny Burke, Frank Zappa, Ike Willis and many others. I finished up in LA as Staff Writer and Arranger at Avatar Records in Malibu working for blue-eyed soul Detroit producer Harry Balk.
I moved to Utah in the late 1980s and was soon Teaching Assistant at the University of Utah for the Composer-in-Residence, Dr. Vladimir Ussachevsky. Dr. U was an electronic music pioneer who co-founded the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Laboratory, heck the guy composed with a razor blade, stopwatch and a reel-to-reel tape deck! During my time at the U of U I launched a film scoring program with the film department after I scored a soundtrack for a film that won an award at a NY film festival.
I got back into performing music in SLC's 1990s music scene with bands like The Committed, Blue Healer, Dick & Jane, Control, Saltifunk, H. Street, Chunga's Revenge, Ike Willis & Chunga's Revenge and more. The bands had attracted agency representation but when our agent moved out of the country, I took over his Planet Agency and grew it from local casual and corporate business to international scale by adding members of Frank Zappa, Jane's Addiction, George Clinton's P-Funk All-Stars, Rat Dog, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The Minutemen and Wilco to the roster.
In 2003, I booked Ike Willis (Frank Zappa) for an all Zappa music festival in Germany where Willis was part of the documentary film, Rock School about the founder of School of Rock, Paul Green. Green had brought his students from Philadelphia and Willis was impressed. Green got my phone number from Willis to talk about growing his business and after two years of courtship, Green hired me to begin the national expansion of what became School of Rock. I developed and supervised five western USA branches for those nice people until the company was sold.
So in 2009 I started musicgarage.org. Since then, hundreds of Utah's youth have enrolled at musicgarage.org for an average of 3.5 years, performing on over 300 venue and festival stages, writing and recoding original music and making memories for a lifetime.
The inscription of Salt Lake City Weekly Newspaper's 2014 Best of Utah award says it all:
Junior high can be some of the most difficult years in a young person's life, and finding your passion and someone who believes in you can make all the difference. For many local young folks, MusicGarage.Org founder Steve Auerbach is that person. The music-education programs and private instruction available through MusicGarage.Org are often a kid's bridge from feeling like an outcast to working toward a common goal with like-minded musicians. The kids are challenged through group sessions, as well as playing at local shows and festivals. When they graduate, they do so equipped with the tools to make a career out of playing music—or at least to do what they love for life.
My work is a privilege. I sure do look forward to doing more in the future!
Business background on me at https://linkedin.com/in/steveauerbach1
I produced this Frank Zappa tribute band with Ike Wills (on 25 or more Zappa albums from 1980-1993). Great musicians, fun music and killer shows like this one at Denver's Fox Theater in 2000.
On Halloween Night 2001, I was 'special guest' performer at this benefit a few blocks from Ground Zero only 50 days after the 911 attack. As teens we used go see Frank Zappa every Halloween just a few blocks away and I got to perform his music with the guys on the record for my teen friends...and their kids! In the top link, I play piano and sing backing vocals on Uncle Remus and in the bottom link, I play the synthesizer solo on Inca Roads. Both are in tribute to the late George Duke.
I co-produced this compilation for Frank Zappa Singer & Guitarist, Ike Willis with Ike and Grammy Award-winning producer, Douglas Spotted Eagle in 2002
While a student at the University of Utah, I composed and produced this soundtrack to an experimental film, "Malignant" by Mel Halbach about the deterioration of industrialized man that won an award at a New York Film Festival.
While a student at the University of Utah, I was privileged to serve as Teaching Assistant and Manager of the Electronic Music Laboratory for two years under Dr. Vladimir Ussachevsky, one of the grandfathers of electronic music pictured in the center of the photo taken at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Laboratory in Harlem, NY, which he co-founded. This piece, "Fishing with Peter" (Auerbach, 1987) is dedicated to Dr. U. and is about baptism, redemption, salvation and hope. All composed with tape loops, Steiner Modular Synthesizer, Yamaha TX16 and some 1960s, 70's and 80's vintage outboard gear we had at the Lab (studio) to Otari 8-Track.

How To Get To The Top Of A Search Engine Page
Just like a celebrity-saturated party after the Grammys, the goal on a search engine is to be seen… on Page 1. How do you get ranked at the top of a search engine like Google? The easy answer is to pay big bucks for a popular keyword ad on Google so your business appears at the top, but that may not be in your budget. Also, it may not necessarily be what you want for your gym. Unless you are a large company with a large ad budget, it is not a long term solution. Your focus, as it should be, is optimal organic ranking. This this is where SEO (search engine optimization) comes into play.
5 Important Search Engine Optimization Tips
- Be mobile friendly. Google focuses on mobile like crazy. According to TechCrunch, people spend an average of 5 hours a day on their mobile devices. That number has increased quarter by quarter over the past 4 years.
- Create quality evergreen content. Evergreen content is content that is always relevant, just like evergreen trees keep their leaves all year long. Quality content is original content that inspires your readers to share your blog posts and to use them for backlinks in their own blog. A page that is used for backlinks by others tends to rank higher on Google, Bing, and other large search engines. Include internal links in your posts as well. Interlinking in your blog post helps search engine bots effectively crawl and index your articles and passes link juice from one page on your site to another. Link juice also helps with the ranking of your article as well as your domain authority (PushPress Sites clients- Call to action buttons that link to one of your program pages on your website count as well.).
- Focus on information that is relevant to your demographic. Be sure your content answers the needs of the people searching for you.
- For Google, be sure you have Google My Business and keep it updated.
- Know your keywords. If you are small gym and trying to compete with national chains, being a big fish in a small keyword pond may be something to consider (in fact, we insist on it). Use the Google Keyword Planner and find relevant keywords to your business that people are searching on but have less competition than the more popular keywords. Look into voice search friendly keywords. With Siri, Alexa, and everyone else in between, voice search is used by over a billion people worldwide. Do not overuse these keywords on your page (If you are a PushPress Sites client, our SEO plug-in will let you know if you used a keyword too many times), but be sure they are in your URL, H-tag headings, alt image tags, and when appropriate throughout your content. HEADS UP: Google is allowing searches by emoji. Keep an eye on this for your Gen Z and Millennial demographics.
SEO tips will change slightly from time to time, but the five above have remained relevant and will continue to do so going into 2018 regardless of change in technology and trends.
If you are a PushPress Sites client, SEO is included in your package. If you would like a tutorial on making your blog posts search engine friendly, contact us through the support button on your website dashboard.

The Corps of Engineer Services (CES) a regiment of the Sri Lanka Army. The role of the Corps of Engineer Services is to design, construct and maintain all buildings, roads and associated facilities such as electricity, water supply and drainage systems used by the Sri Lanka Army, Apart from this, the Regiment is also responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of all types of generators, water pumps, sewer pumps, desalination plants and other electrical appliances. It is made up of 3 regular units and one volunteer (reserve) units and is headquartered at its Regiment Center at the Panagoda Cantonment, Panagoda.
The role of the early Works Section was to maintain Army buildings and the Panagoda Cantonment when it was completed. The beginning was made in January 1950 when the first regular officer Capt M.L.D.A Perera was commissioned to fill the vacancy of the Garrison Engineer who was shortly due for additional training at the Royal School of Military Engineering. The Panagoda Cantonment was at this stage being planned by the Public Works Department and it became the first task of this officer to follow this work, and at the same time liaise with the civil government departments in all matters pertaining to the land and buildings required by the Army. Soon the Works Squadron undertook all maintenance services and minor additions to the building of the three services.
The Works Services of the Ceylon Engineers was formed as a unit in 1958 and Lt. Col M.L.D.A Perera was appointed the first Commanding Officer of the unit.
In 1991 the Works Services of the Ceylon Engineers separated from the Sri Lanka Engineers and was redesigned as the Engineer Services Regiment.

So I've had some trouble with two component modded systems. After having some time to finally really sit down and thoroughly check out what's going on, I'm figuring out that the cables, which I thought were the initial culprit, I believe are okay. Looks like it might be the modded systems themselves. I've used the same cables with a modded system I know works, and I get no problems.
I've taken a screenshot of what's going on with one of them. They've worked in the past, but have been stored in a bin in the closet for about a year or two. If anyone has any ideas of what's going on, definitely chime in.

Social Interaction Network Extraction From Text
Abstract: Language is the primary tool that people use for establishing, maintaining and expressing social relations. People talk about who they meet, talk to, think about etc. using language. Though part of the social interactions that lead to stronger social relations may be captured by meta-data such as sending/receiving emails, a large part of the social interaction network is manifested in contents of such communications.
In this talk, I will present a system capable of extracting an interaction network from unstructured text such as emails and novels. We are using convolution kernels and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) to build a supervised model to detect interaction links between people. I will give a brief overview of convolution kernels, how they fit SVMs, their advantages and limitations. I will present some results on how extracting this social interaction network from Enron emails helps in predicting a better organizational hierarchy, and finally how this network gives us insight into the roles of characters in a work of fiction like Alice in Wonderland.

Given 'Ooh La La' is lifted from the soundtrack to a film, we really can't call this a new Britney Spears single can we? Or can we? If we can, video-wise we don't quite know when Britney made the leap from being a slightly edgy pop commodity to a children's entertainer armed with a bucketful of cheesy smiles and painfully obvious dance moves (i.e. "flashing in your eye", "my heart beats fast"). At some points throughout this, Brit shows more enthusiasm in two seconds than she did in an entire season of 'The X Factor'. That said, her two sons Jayden and Sean are on hand, so there's good reason to be 'up'.
If we can't call it a new Britney Spears single, then we'll just say that 'Ooh La La' is a fun, frothy, catchy little pop number written with kids in mind that's designed to keep punters in a happy mood as they shuffle through the litter of popcorn and chip packets to the theatre exit.

Our washer and dryer are located in the hallway on the second floor. An entire load worth of water poured out of the washer and down through the walls. It came through the ceiling below via the closet door molding and the smoke detector. No ceiling or drywall damage at all. It just poured through the molding. I'm concerned about the interior of the walls. Is it necessary to cut open dry wall and have someone come out or, because there is no drywall damage, is it ok to leave alone?
This question has not yet been answered.
