Half Love Half Arranged by Itisha Peerbhoy Most Indian women are aware of the concept of arranged marriage. Even if it hasn't happened to. half love half arranged by itisha peerbhoy goodreads half love half arranged pdf. Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are.
Or the fact that celebs like Jacqueline Fernandez, Taapsee Pannu, Katrina Kaif swear by their fitness routine and are known to train for longer hours than their male counterparts? Then again look beyond these superwomen. Look around you. There are regular women storming into male bastions, physically-challenging professions and pursuits, and coming out triumphant. This new-found confidence comes with taking care of yourself, being cognizant of the fact that our body needs to be given TLC, from the right diet and nutrition to exercise and care to help us stand strong.
This is when I raise a toast: May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them! Half Love Half Arranged explores the concept of arranged marriage, taking it a little too far.
Rhea resorts to a Punjabi matchmaker aunty who, luckily for her, introduces her to one good-looking, well-to-do man after the other—all of whom are apparently equally interested in getting married. However, true to life, there is something wrong with each man she meets, or at least with their expectations of her.
As she goes from man to man, experience to experience, she even realises that she is in love with her somewhat hippie best friend, Arf. Somewhere along the way, she even manages to lose her job. Who Rhea marries and how it happens is what the entire story is about. And who Rhea finally ends up with is an interesting surprise. Theres No way out orst part of being drunk at night is that youve to face the consequences early morning, especially when youve set up enormous scenes after drinking in your own chuffing house.
A twinge in your head reminds you of the quantity you gulped down and your family reminds you of the blatant behavior you displayed after being bladdered. Things become worse when you realize that the weekend is now a week away. I got up at about ten, after completely exploiting the snooze option in my alarm clock, scratching my bumps. Home is the place where you can scratch your bumps exactly where it itches.
I had the nerve to get out of my room and shout for breakfast. No one was there to attend me. My sister entered the dining room and set a plate for herself.
Serve the breakfast for me I commanded. She gave me an angry stare dreadful enough to jolt me. I swallowed. What would you like to have sir? Should I make it lime this time? I narrowed my eyes at her and strode towards the fridge. Will anyone tell me why am I being subjected to this brutal behavior? I asked, infuriated.
Why dont you ask the ACP sir? I growled and left for college. I murmured to myself as I stepped out of the main door. Indian neighbors I tell you, three women stood beside our door, whispering to each other. Totally drunk, he is extremely shameless Mrs.
Gupta, I was about to appoint him as my daughters tutor She stopped as she saw me approach. Its your lovely daughter that I have to teach aunty? Why not? She dances really well when shes drunkReverb is perhaps her favorite pubeven the bouncer knows her really well.
Maybe she can as well give me some dance lessons I managed a smile as I spat my words at the gossip queens and jumped down a flight of stairs. The frustration of a bad morning may spoil the impending hours of the day. No breakfast, a crabby sister and a fresh fall apart are enough to reduce your happiness to rubble. I told my brain to shut the fuck up and concentrate on something better. On my way many curious eyes greeted me and worsened my frame of mind.
My parents have been telling me constantly to bother about the chuffing society in which we have to live. It is not me who decides how to live my life, society does. Right and wrong are no more the issues of morality. Rather, they are the privilege of the society.
These chiefs of society are seriously messing up lives of frivolous youngsters like me. The Delhi metro was again offering more mood spoiling opportunities.
Constant halts and apologies for delayed journey irritated hell out of me. Acquaintances, briefly aware of your faux pas, point at you, nudge the ones they accompany and whisper to each other. Bloody losers! They dont have the guts enough to confront you and say their opinions about you aloud at your face. The next station is Punjabi bagh. I heaved a sigh of relief as my destination arrived.
My relief was short lived. At the entrance of our engineering wing, for no reason, stood Radhika with swollen eyes. She purposefully applied no eye make-up to highlight the puffy eyes she had. Beside her, stood the hunk of the Business Administration wing- Debashish Sen. He was a typical Bengali boy with a satisfactory dressing sense and good physique. Girls found his dimples pretty electrifying.
Despite all that, he was gawky at times. Ha had been one of the people who nurtured hard feelings for me for being in a relationship with Radhika. Radhika had once informed me that he had asked her if they could be more than friends. He proposed in an awkward manner. I remember it made me roll on the floor and laugh at his proposal.
He had bent down on his knees in a corny manner, took Radhikas hand and said, kya aap humaare bachho ko sagey bhai behen banne ka mauka dengi? Gawky, as I said. Now that I and Radhika had split up, it was his chance to display some heroic deeds. He strode towards me in a classy gait. An eye contact was established. He narrowed his eyes at me. I gave an ugly stare. There was tension in the air. I reached my pocket for my knuckles. Heavens know I wanted to hit him hard for nothing.
I tapered my eyebrows at that plague. He growled and aaaannnchhiiii! He sneezed. Gawky, as Ive mentioned over and over again. I managed not to laugh. So, you want to be turned inside out? Deb made a poor attempt at threatening me.
I believe in application rather than verbalizing, you asshole! I snarled and approached him to give him a smack in his dimpled cheeks. He must have felt dizzy for a while, for longer maybe. I had no intentions of ceasing him of his end, but I had better things to do in the college I clicked my fingers and pointed a finger at him. Not the index or the pinkie, nor the ring or the thumb, its the one you pull up when you dont give a fuck. He recovered the trauma and stepped back.
From the corner of my eye I noticed him holding Radhika by her shoulder and trying to stop her tears that flowed endlessly. I wonder where do girls get their tear stocks from and altered shoulders every time. I walked untroubled and entered my classroom.
It was now the professors chance at me. Look, colleges cool dude is here. Welcome him my friends He raised a brow at me. Please continue sir, no formalities I smirked. Get out of my class you spoiled brat! You think youd enter my class half an hour late and Id let you shake off that easily? Im not lateIm early for the next lecture I said and made a face. The whole class giggled as Mr. Talwar scowled. This particular professor had unidentified grudges against me.
I tried to solve them in the beginning, but now I think answering back is so much more fun! The college was much of a chaotic building these days. Every next student was either busy in organizing an event or in coordinating one for some rubbish credential.
Editorial Reviews
I was busy in hunting for some good-looking chicks rolling up from Delhi University to our campus for attending such a lackluster carnival. After a long hectic month of some ludicrous assessments, this was the time for putting some ice on our heads. Everyone left to join their respective events and I and Karan left for occasion in anticipation.
Karan Arora, my best buddy, a bulky guy with a harebrained persona, also the one who keeps falling prey to even the poorest of bullies without any reasons. Nobody knew anything better about me than him at this point of my life, he was a bestie indeed from high school days! Some pretty hot chicks lingered about in the college premises. I was damn bored of the girls of our college.
Headlines today: College carnival brings new stock for admiral! We sat on a bench which had the clear view of all possible happenings. Girls walked by and we gave numbers out of ten corresponding to their figures. Most of them were a six! Looks are deceptive, so dont just look. Give a full stare! And we did the same. Suddenly, I noticed a familiar face in the crowd, seven if you ask me. A slim girl, dressed in a body hugging charcoal gray top and denims, pulled out a pencil from behind her ear as she instructed some volunteer about some events chores.
Oh fish! Small round world!
A Half Baked Love Story - Anurag Garg.pdf
Mishka Narula and I studied together till tenth standard and changed our schools. She willingly did that due to her tiff with a guy and I changed it unwillingly. Parental care you know. They wanted me to study in some remarkable high school, which literally scratched my life out.
We were not in contact for four long years, but we used to be great friends. Some experiences lead us spaced out.
I knew she was friends with Radhika, the bitch told me once that they both were high school friends. Literally, it is a small round world! For a moment I thought of saying hi to her. Then I noticed her approaching my topical foe- Deb. Is she dating that loser? I wondered like I give it a damn!
I turned to find my way to something better to think about. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Deb and Radhika greeting Mishka like shes some very beloved friend. I had a momentary eye contact with Radhika.
Deb was standing right behind her like a bodyguard. Mishka suddenly raised her hand to call out for me. Radhika nudged her, abruptly pointing her little finger at me and whispered something. I tell you. They are faster than Indian media when it comes to publicizing issues. Mishka, who seemed pleased to see me a fraction-of-a-second before, gave a disgusted expression. I didnt bother to greet her and walked out of that event with Karan.
I must have been looking pretty handsome that day. I noticed many hot chicks eying me every now and then. Desperate singles you call them! Hiiiiiii Aarav! I turned around to respond and found Mishka looking at me with some mixed emotions. Hi I couldnt speak more than that. Actually, I didnt want to fuel any conversation with her that would lead me to Radhika. How have you been? Changed so much ehh? Change is the rule of life I reverted rudely. Excuse me, I need to go I said.
I need to talk she exclaimed. I said, avoiding any eye contact with her. I need to know why you did this to Radhika? It was personal if you ask me!
And why the fuck Im answerable to you? This is how you talk to an old friend? This is how Im, got a problem?
Then dont talk to me arrogance ruled my voice. You used to be such a reserved and decent guy, what has become out of you Aarav? I need to go! She strode towards me and clutched me through my elbow. But I need to know why, the things Radhika told me about you were just not realistic to me, she emphatically said. If not now, then whenever you want. How about never? I said as I jerked her hand away and joined Karan and gang to get something out of the day.
I walked through the crowd of party animals, a dozen memories of my secondary school years hovered my mind. Oh Im sorry! Owww, fuck man! I uttered as I turned in disgust. A lovely lady dressed in a black off shoulder top and blue denim mini gave an apologetic smile as she spilled her hot chocolate on me. Pleasure is all mine! I spoke, elongating each and every letter as I assessed her from top to bottom, you know, top to bottom, with two big pauses.
I regained consciousness and realized I should have said Its okay! A hand suddenly went around her waist as I took the napkin from her. I just spilled my hot chocolate, she said in a childish tone to the guy who had grabbed her and made a puppy dog face. Why all hot girls are committed to such nasty puppies? I asked within. Her full lips and the pink gloss on them drew my attention.
Juicy onesher lips. Come lets get you another one love, said that bastard and he kissed her. My gaze followed her sexy legs. I wondered how girls manage to flaunt such revealing clothes in this chilling winter. Shes gonehot one by the way I said as Karan punched my shoulder. Darn it! Her curves have ruined you, you were lost in the depths of herKaran paused and winked at me.
Eyes I added as we both laughed hard. I enjoyed the company of this asshole.
He never tried to make a mess out of my life. I cleaned up the hot chocolate from my jacket.
In the evening, war of DJs, perpetual party, girls, and much more awaited us. My party freak gang soon joined me. I grabbed a bottle of whisky from Karan and we were on for a grand party. Deafening music, alcohol, and hot chicks the trio makes life a heaven to live. I suddenly felt something vibrating in my jeans. It was just my phone, must be mom. Unknown number, I disconnected. We partied hard that evening. I bothered to look at my phone at a. Five missed calls from the same number.
I texted my sister that Id stay at my friends place for the night, as if informing her mattered at 2 am. A lot of alcohol had poisoned our blood and the body heat was rising. We went to Ramans house to spend the night, a Richie with a separate apartment. When I regained my senses, my head was stuck to a hairy chest. Whose darn bed is this? Why are you in your boxers? Bloody hell! Why am I only in my boxers?
I panicked. Hey hey! Ive not raped you said Raman as he grabbed his pillow, turned over and snored again. He slid his hand down to scratch his filthy ass, while Karan was forced to rest on the floor.
I looked for my clothes, put them on and walked out. My phone again did silly things to my pants. I sometimes really hate the vibration mode.
It was the same number, who the hell is pestering me now? I was about to pick the call but now, the battery ditched me. I drove towards the hell-my home, home pest home! The best thing about reaching home at 12 noon is that you only have to face mom. It is far easier to tolerate her when dad isnt around. She speaks and I ignore, easy enough. But perhaps all dogs have their day, this was my day.
Mom wasnt at home. She had gone for her kitty. My empty stomach made embarrassing noises. I broke into my house and conquered the kitchen. Gobbling up a sandwich, I put my phone on charging. As I switched it on, it rang again. Hello, whose this? I said in an impressive tone expecting a hot chick with a sensual voice.
Hi Aarav, does it cost you a million dollars to pick a call? Whos that? I said as I chewed my sandwich. Mishka this side, can I have a few precious minutes of your day sir? What is it Mishka? I asked, annoyed. I want to meet you. How straight forward! This is how she was. Different from other girls in the sense that she never offered long useless conversations, only blatant significant statements.
I have a busy schedule this week. I never said that meeting you next week is a problem for me. Ill see to it, okay bye I hung up. Mishkas sudden interference made my stomach twitch. Maybe it was something you call-guilt. But I thought I had become immune to being guilty for breaking up with bimbos.
I roared, growled and threw my sandwich away. A text beeped on my phone. Derz no point of avoidin mem not here 2 make u feel guilty or 2 shower lectures on u jus wana talk 2 uI xpct a rply Mishka luk Mishka, I seriously dont wana discuss bout anything, leave me aloneu r no1 to sudnly cm n make a mess of my life lik thatso jus mind ur own chuffin busness This is what I wanted to reply, but I preferred avoiding.
If she doesnt want to make me feel guilty, why is she so desperate to have a word with me? The question boggled my mind. I strode up and down my room, pulled the curtains, jumped up and down my sofa, skipped through television channels but the restlessness didnt pass away. The doorbell rang. Mishkas terror shook me. Has she now tracked my house? I stumbled twice before I grabbed the door knob and opened it enough to peep through.
To my relief, it was just my lovely mom. She didnt give expressions as I have described before. Suddenly, when she entered, she looked like a fierce version of Indian police officer ready to sputter interrogative statements on me about my absence from the house and my late-coming. I could visualize her dressed in khaki uniform tapping her stick and eyeing me with a raised eyebrow.
Oh mom! Its you! Im so glad youre back! Im so damn hungry, get something to calm my belly down I made a modest attempt to distract her from the list of questions she was preparing in her mind. A mother is an epitome of care, she forgets everything once her child cries with hunger. Well, this was just an assumption of my splendid mind.
Review: Half Love Half Arranged by Itisha Peerbhoy
Do you want me to pack your bags and throw you out with them or are you yourself abandoning the house? Umm my mom- the modern mom, uses alternative ways to show love and care. Im ashamed of my womb that gave birth to a drunkard like you. Your father has never touched alcohol all his life Well, now this was surely an exaggeration. She sobbed and continued, I wonder if his blood still rushes through your veins.
Its alcohol only. We brought you up for witnessing this day? The whole world pinpoints me because of you. I cannot walk out of the home. You are the burning topic everywhere. My friends bitch about me because of you. Firstly you missed your IIT for that girl and now doing all this rubbish. Well, this is what pinched a bit too much. My past was my real and only weakness. I am not the actual problem, my deeds arent the slip-up. Society is what bothers my mom! Calm down mom!
I reached out to her to hold her. She hit me real hard. Get lost! Live at whoevers place you want to She shouted and switched back to crying. I am so sorry mom, I uttered my most-used-phrase with a shameless smile and caught my mothers hand gently. And my job was done. I saw her heart melting. I wiped her tears and hugged her. I had mastered the field of female psychology by now.
I could handle any of them pretty easily. I stayed home all day despite the frequent ugly stares and cribbing from everyone in the house. I dragged myself and tried to spend time on Facebook, phone games, staring at the walls, trying to discover new angles of lying on my couch to have a better view of my ceiling fan and so on.
My phone rang. Not Mishka! Well, maybe my prayers were wasted in compensating for the sins of my previous birth. There was she- the recent pest of my life and there was no way out. For once I thought of flushing my phone but then I dropped the idea and picked up the call.
Hello Aarav! How are you? Im fineso? Do you like to party? Yeah, who doesnt? I exclaimed but on realizing whom I was talking to, I calmed down and continued, But why? Remember Devika? Why is she bringing such random topics in between? The girl sticking to your side in school?
I tried to sound oblivious, but in reality, I could never forget that girl. She secretly had a crush on me. She was too garrulous, nosey and well I accept she had a cute smile. Oh shut up Aarav! She is in the town for new year celebrations In town? She went abroad? Well, now this was something actually unfair on my part. I was better than her in academics, still, she gets the break to foreign universities.
Luck, what the fuck! Mishkas never ending chattering distracted me from my gloomy failures. Yeahyou know, those well off people throw their children in foreign universities.
Shes returning this week and throwing a New Year party all friends are invited, shed be just so happy to see you Oh wait! Who said Im coming? Of course you are coming. No excuses! Farmhouse, chilling winter, bonfire, drinks, music! Im so excited! And our first invitation goes to you.
You cant turn it down like that. Have some courtesy handsome. Okay, Ill tell you about my plans, I replied in an exhausted tone and hung up. She didnt utter a word about Radhika. Maybe she really doesnt want to have a sneak peek into my life. I really needed a break from pubs and bitches. Not at all a bad idea! But if Mishka is comingNO! That means Radhika is coming! I shouted loud enough to agitate my father. Alcohol not yet off your nerves Mr. Son of ACP? Dad commented. I got up from the couch, went straight to my room and banged the door.
I slept to avoid random thoughts. Life goes on aran, the assholes call woke me up the next morning. Youve not yet been suspended from the college.
Are you coming or not? Hmmcatch ya in one hour I yawned and took a leave from my bed. The day was quite monotonous until I came across Deb.
Im going to take you down Deb set a spark. Fucked in the head or what? Debs keema is on the menu today, I said to Raman and Karan as we laughed out loud. We both snarled at each other as Deb dared to grab my collar. Radhika came running and caught my arm.
Leave him, she nearly pleaded. You must have asked your swine-head guy to stay away from me, I growled and jerked her hand away Deb gave me a little punch in my belly. It felt like a tickle. So, a warning aint enough huh, you son of a bitch. I curled up my fingers into a punch. Radhika rushed for help. A whole lot of free show viewers gathered around. Only one of them had the courage to intervene- Mishka. She made unsuccessful attempts to depart the two enemies.
The crowd scattered the moment our dean surpassed. Deb the coward ass hugged me to escape suspension. I gave him a sharp blow in the ribs as he tried to offer a bear hug. I wished I could kick him hard in the groin. Suddenly Deb fell on the ground. Mishka screamed in terror. What happened to him? Deb was lying on the ground, his mouth bleeding. He must have done something, said Radhika in a terrified tone.
Help us to get him to the doctor you motherfuckers! Mishka shouted at the crowd gathering to watch the drama.
I had never seen Mishka getting so hyper and uttering such swear words. Two boys stepped forward to help Deb to get into a car. I got worried indeed. Im gonna get your balls! Radhika spat the words at me as she dialed a number, maybe an ambulance, I wondered, too astounded to think properly. A few minutes later, I realized that the SOS dialed by her was not , it was ! Unlike very often, Delhi police reached in time! This guy, officer, he had issues with Deb. He has tried to take him down once before as well.
I can get you many witnesses Radhika blurted as I watched, not knowing what to do. There was no point in running away. A broad chested police inspector faced me as I swallowed. The inspector held me by my collar. Another rich mans brat, arent you? How I love taking up such cases. He gave me the once-over as if he was getting extreme sexual pleasure by looking at me alone. What can be worse than falling a prey to a gay police officer? Bbbbbbbut you cant arrest me until that guy gives his statement.
I just hugged him. I stuttered and made an attempt to at least delay my lockup. The inspector nodded and we prepared to depart for the hospital. Meanwhile Mishka and Deb had gone to the hospital. That day, for the second time, I got the opportunity to ride in a PCR. It is surely not a car youd like to be in, especially seated in the back seat with the hawaldaar. Some old memories rushed via my nerves again. We arrived at the hospital where Deb had been admitted.
Mishka and Radhika stood there with some acquaintances. Are you happy now? Mishka shouted and gave a disgusted expression as she saw me coming. Quiet maam, please, its a hospital, a nurse came to my rescue. The doctor came and informed about Debs condition.
He had hurt his rib bone but his condition was pretty stable now. Permission was granted to the inspector to visit him. It was now time to welcome my new accessory-handcuffs! Inspector went inside the ICU. What is taking him so long! Every second was a burden. Deb was now going to avenge for everything, of every encounter with me, Radhikas breakup, his broken rib! I was in deep shit.
Everyones expressions made it difficult for me to stand the situation. The inspector came out after seconds. Yes I was counting each and every second. I raised my hands towards him, surrendering my hands to the jingling handcuffs.
The boy said he doesnt want to file any complaint against Aarav. There was no fight, and Aarav didnt hurt him deliberately, the officer declared. But sir! I can get you a half a hundred witnesses against this man, Radhika spoke through her teeth. If Deb files no complaints against him, we cannot take an action.
Youre free to go boy, be careful in future. The gay officer patted my shoulder and left. I was too perplexed to react. I looked around. I felt my body being drained of something.
I could make no sense of anything. I was totally numb. I rushed to the doctor. Can I meet him once? The doctor nodded and I ran into the room. The whole hospital apparatus gave a sharp blow to my head.
The door behind me screeched open again and Mishka and Radhika entered. Deb was lying on the bed with all those oxygen mask and crap that I had only seen once in my life. Why did you do this favor to me? Deb opened his eyes and smiled. Because I am not Aarav His words were a mere whisper but they echoed several times in my head.
I stared at him in utter astonishment. A tingling sensation rushed up through my spine and affected my eyes. They were moist.
Hes not the guy Ive known since childhood. I know people change, but they transform so drastically? Mishka murmured the rhetorical question to Radhika. Forgiveness is the biggest revenge, I had heard, and today, I was experiencing it. Debs gesture had invoked in me a feeling that I had become invulnerable to: shame, guilt. My knees could no longer bear my weight and I fell on the floor, my head held in my knees.
A stinging soreness conquered my chest. A gentle hand rested on my shoulder, Are you okay? Mishkas voice stroke my ear. The nurse entered, Grant him some rest, move out please. Mishka supported me to get up.
Radhikas hatred towards me knew no bounds. She kept murmuring every now and then. We moved out to the hospital cafeteria. I still couldnt have a complete control on my senses. The girls didnt force me to speak. Only girls know when it is right to leave someone on their own. If they can chat endlessly, they can also maintain a comfortable silence to soothe you. Radhika broke the perpetual noise of kitchen utensils. I nodded my head in agreement. I absent-mindedly gulped down the coffee all at once as if it was water and moved out of the cafeteria.
I had always longed to see Deb in this condition. What had happened to me now? Why am I being so affected by the situation? Or is it his words that have killed the shamelessness in me? I wandered aimlessly in the lawn. Many classmates had gathered there for Deb, they had hatred for me in their eyes.
They absolutely detested me for my evil deed. One chance and Id be their prey, quenching their thirst of my blood. I couldnt establish an eye contact with them. I suddenly had a strong urge to meet Deb. I took long steps towards ICU. The scenario of the hospital always upsets me and reminds me of some bad memories I made long ago! Pain is such a dominant feeling in every heart in the premises- a feeling that I had forgotten long ago.
He was fast asleep. The nurse rushed into me to inform that he was on anaesthesia. I turned back and found Radhika and Mishka in the corridor. Will he be alright? I managed to ask, still not able to look into their eyes. What do you, Radhika roared but Mishka caught hold of her. Yes hell be fine very soon. I think you should go home. Your family must be tensed, were here for him.
Dont worry, said Mishka in a restful tone. I didnt respond to it and walked to the lobby and occupied a bench there. The day had exhausted me physically, mentally and perhaps emotionally as well.
Yes, emotions werent completely dead in me. The dormant sentiments were paving their way through my heart. I took a nap sitting on the bench. I suddenly woke up when someone wrapped a shawl around my shoulders.
Oh Im sorry I woke you up son It was Debs mother. She looked like a typical Indian mother, her face showed extreme pain as a part of her own flesh was experiencing immense pain, all because of me.
Hats off to the mother who had come to comfort the culprit of her son!
Romance Books
I shook my head. Hows Deb now? I had never expressed such concern for anyone. Radhika surpassed. She looked at me and gave a promiscuous look. I thought you went back to some pub to celebrate, She said. I shrugged. Ummwell, Deb woke up a few minutes ago. Hell be discharged in about three days.
By the way, you dropped your phone at the ICU. Your mum has been calling a lot of times. I informed her that you were caring for a friend in the hospital. She sounded like she didnt believe me.
No one expects care and affection from you. She taunted, almost threw the phone into my face and left. I went to the rest room and splashed some cold water on my face.I nodded my head in agreement. Will Rhea ever meet Mr Perfect, or has she already discarded him, or does she have to settle for someone in between?
A lovely lady dressed in a black off shoulder top and blue denim mini gave an apologetic smile as she spilled her hot chocolate on me. The scene now was no less than a picture-perfect drama act. I patted his shoulder lightly and hugged him.

14 Jan, 1988 Eluru
Film Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Naga Shourya Mulpuri is an Indian film actor known for his works in Telugu cinema. He made his debut with the 2011 Telugu film Cricket, Girls And Beer. He then made a cameo appearance in the National Award-winning anthology film, Chandamama Kathalu. He then appeared in box-office hits such as Oohalu Gusagusalade and Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya.
Shourya was born in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh and lived for several years in Vijayawada, before moving to Hyderabad to pursue his dream of acting in films. Prior to entering the film industry, he played tennis.Before he got his first role, he struggled for almost five years. He stated, "Every time I was on the verge of signing a film, something or the other would happen and I was back to square one", and added that he was "disappointed and wanted to go back to my parents". He then saw an advertisement by Vaaraahi Chalana Chitram, who were casting for Srinivas Avasarala's romantic comedy Oohalu Gusagusalade and sent in his portfolio. Although he had no hopes, he was selected for the lead role. While working on Oohalu Gusagualade, he was selected for a role in Chandamama Kathalu which became his first release. An anthology film, it featured Shourya as part of an ensemble cast, with him having about 20 minute screen time in the film.
Oohalu Gusagusalaade released two months later and became a critical and commercial success. Critics noted that Shourya "deliver(s) (a) commendable performance" and was "perfect as the boy next door".[6] His third release that year, Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya, was again a romantic comedy. A triangular love story directed by Trikoti, it was about a son and father falling for the same girl. The Hindu wrote about his performance, "Naga Shourya proves yet again that he's one of the best among the newer lot of actors. He brings in the required innocence of a teenager and shows his anguish and helplessness in the later portions effectively". Shourya's final release of the year was Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki alongside Avika Gor. His next release was the 2015 film Jadoogadu under the direction of Yogie opposite Sonarika Bhadoria.
He next appeared in Ramesh Varma's Abbayitho Ammayi whose music is by Maestro Ilayaraja and Kalayana Vaibogame being directed by Nandini Reddy. Kalyana Vaibhogame became a huge hit and garnered positive feedback to Shourya.

1. Attendance
2. Draft Panel Formation Proposal
3. A look at the Latin part of MSR2 with attestations. Version 7 (.docx) (.pdf)
5. DoNM
1. Chris Dillon, Alireza Saleh, Mirjana Tasić, Aysegul Tekce, Vladimir Visnjic
2. Chris thanked Mirjana for her research on the Americas, Central Asia, and Eskimo Aleut; it will be reflected in the next version (4) of the proposal.
The following major edits were agreed:
⦁ The addition of definitions for terms such as alphabet, script, glyph and attestation.
⦁ We lack some illustrations of some points in the text, for example, handwriting. Aysegul volunteered to provide a sample of Turkish handwriting.
⦁ Australasia and South-East Asia have been covered in one section, as Polynesian languages occur in both areas.
Issues remaining include:
⦁ lack of volunteer time during stages of the work
⦁ lack of expertise (especially linguistic in the Americas, Australasia and elsewhere, Security and law enforcement and XML)
Effect on work schedule
We currently do not have a sufficient number of people to form the panel. This could change after Marrakech and will not immediately affect the working schedule.
It is possible that an additional stage may be needed to exclude some code points, possibly German ß and Turkish ı, for security reasons.
⦁ Are we happy to regard the 26-letter A-Z as a "basic" set?
⦁ Does anyone know the official reason why the Unicode ranges Latin Ligatures and Full-width Latin letters were excluded by the Integration Panel?
(additional questions to ask the IP:)
⦁ What form is cooperation with the Cyrillic, Greek and Armenian panels expected to take?
⦁ German ß, Turkish ı, etc.
3. The panel has provisionally OK'd: Turkish ı and three additional "WITH LINE BELOW" code points for Pitjantjatjara.
4. None.
5. 9 February. Chris would email information about the LGP face-to-face in Marrakech to the list. Provisionally it is scehuled for 17:00, Sunday 6 March. Alireza would speak to ICANN about travel support.

An installation of architectural structures grown from mushrooms has been unveiled for Milan Design Week 2019 as part of an experiment that aims to create sustainable and organic construction methods.
Image by Marco Beck Peccoz
The installation by Carlo Ratti Associati, called The Circular Garden, was grown over six weeks and will be returned to the soil at the end of the month. Each of the four structures is composed of a sequence of arches that together comprise one kilometre of mycelium. The project experiments with sustainable structures that can grow organically and then return to nature in a fully circular way.
Developed in partnership with energy company Eni, the structure is located within Brera's Orto Botanico, the city's botanical garden. "People have been using mycelium on a small scale, making bricks and packaging and so on, but something at this scale had never been done before," Carlo Ratti said at the installation's opening. "The reason we built it with catenaries is that the material hasn't been studied that much from a structural point of view. Antoni Gaudí discovered that if you make catenaries, and you turn them upside down, you get pure compression structures — that's where the shape came from."
Image by Marco Beck Peccoz
The circular garden pushes the boundaries of mycelium, which is the fibrous root of mushrooms. "Mycelium is getting more and more applications everywhere," continued Ratti. "I believe Ikea is using it for packaging, and people are using it for bottles of wine. But for us it was more to start thinking about what happens when we use it at an architectural scale. During Salone so much waste is produced — I really hate it. Last year we made a pavilion that was all recyclable, but there is so much waste that is produced this week — like any temporary fair."

The circular garden engages with Mycelium at the architectural scale, with a series of 60 four-metre-high arches scattered around the botanical garden. "I really love this place, it is one of my favourite places in Milan," said Ratti, who is also a professor at MIT. "It is a piece of countryside in the centre of the city. Because it is so protected, we couldn't bring in real spores, so we had to dry the structures in the oven to make sure we were not introducing things to the garden's ecosystem. So, we had to do an additional part of production, which is not only growing the mycelium, but also drying it."
Image by Marco Beck Peccoz
The mycelium was grown in the two months preceding the opening of the circular garden with the help of leading experts in the field of mycology — particularly the Dutch Krown.Bio lab. Spores were injected into organic material to start the growth process. "A garden has always been a place where everything comes from the earth, and then goes back to the earth," Ratti continues. "The broader topic we wanted to explore was: can we do an installation that is like a real mushroom? So that in eight weeks it grows, before being shredded and returned to the earth.
"It was an experiment to try to do that at the scale of architecture. I dream of a future when architecture could grow like a plant. A plant's code is so much smarter and for us it was a way to explore that."

Bellwoods Brewery Boogie Monster American Double/Imperial IPA at 8% ABV
Pours a clear pale gold with one finger of tight white head, good retention, and moderate lacing. Nose is pine and floral hops, pineapple, pale biscuity malt. Taste follows suit, mildly sweet malt with pine resin, grapefruit, and tropical fruit. Medium body and sticky, with moderate sustain carbonation and a long, intensely bitter finish.
Surprisingly light in colour and body for a DIPA, with the moderately high ABV very well integrated – could easily pass for a hop bomb-ish single IPA. The hop presence definitely handily beats out the malt backbone (which is, regardless, sufficient to the task) but the bitterness is a little over-emphasized – more sustain on the floral notes would have been nice. All in all, a very nice DIPA, but one that could stand a little polishing.

WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE — Fighting as American troops did in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy, doughboys have smashed through the outer crust of Hitler's fortress in a gallant display of courage and skill. …
That was the start of the first dispatch filed 75 years ago today by Associated Press reporter Don Whitehead, writing from the beaches of Normandy to inform the American public of the D-Day invasion of Europe by American, British and Canadian troops, code-named Operation Overlord. It would take a couple of days for his account to appear in American newspapers, and by then the 156,000 Allied troops had established a foothold on the shores of Nazi-occupied France.
D-Day began the final phase of World War II in Europe, and in the ensuing months the German armies would be squeezed in a vise between American, British and Canadian troops in the West, and Soviet forces in the East.
In less than a year — on May 8, 1945 — the Allies would accept the unconditional surrender of Germany. By the time Japan surrendered, on Sept. 2 of that year, the U.S. had some 407,000 troops killed and 671,000 wounded. Only the Civil War exacted a higher toll on the American people.
By contrast, it is estimated that the Soviet Union lost 24 million people, military and civilian combined, in World War II. The worldwide toll of the war is impossible to determine, but it has been reckoned at around 60 million dead, military and civilian.
Appropriately, solemn ceremonies are being held today at many locations in France, Britain, Canada and the U.S., in memory of those who perished all those years ago and in the abiding hope that nothing like a world war will ever again darken the globe.
Appropriately, one place the D-Day anniversary is being observed today is Bedford, Virginia, where the U.S. D-Day monument was established in 2001. This tiny community lost 20 of the 32 sons it sent to the invasion of Normandy.
Because this is bound to be the last large gathering of D-Day veterans — even the youngest of them are now in their 90s — there could hardly be a better time thank them for their service and to reflect on the human costs of war.

I think that watching a movie just to drool over an actor starring in it would not be really respectful to my SO.
Hi. I am a mother of two older children. I love to have fun. Going out to dinner, doesn't have to be fancy. Was married for over 30 years and my husband decided he didn't want to be married.
Hi..I am newly retired but not for good. Still looking to go back to work. I would like to meet someone for dating right now and who knows what happens afterwards. I like intimate sessions but.
good grab
However, you also misunderstand the importance of sexual compatibility in a relationship. While I agree that people can learn to be better in bed if they're not good, there are other issues entirely - like sexual tastes. One of you could have a major fetish the other doesn't share. One of you could have minimal sex drive or a voracious appetite. Or one of you could like it long, slow, and sensual and the other be all about fast, hard, and wild. These are all issues that can create huge amounts of problems in a relationship and which really need to be sorted out before you marry, IMHO.
My guess and I could be wrong - fear.
I think am a caring man like my friends do say but can't say until you are close to me.Am sure am God fearing, honest, loyal and straightforwar.
Damn fence is in the way.

OMG I Want
Some 25 yr old guy's are fine to have kids with their gf/wife, but I feel this day and age, less are happy to have kids at that age. Doesn't sound like he wants kids (well not with her right now anyway). I'd say the vast majority of guys don't want to have their fwb get pregnant. Who wants to have a child with your nsa partner. While the relationship has since bumped up in status now with commitment, still the vast majority of guys (and I'd say women too) don't want to be hit with the 'oops I'm pregnant' statement just a few months into a relationship.

Legendary hedge fund supremo Ray Dalio is in ebullient mood. Following a series of moves by Mario Draghi to underpin European government financing Dalio told Bloomberg that, in his opinion, the euro will now "likely" stay together because existing growth-constraining austerity measures will henceforth be balanced by money printing over at the European Central Bank. His statement was, of course, a response to ECB President Draghi's save the Euro pledge. Continue reading

What's Up Doc?
According to Wikipedia, Kabuki is a classical Japanese dance-drama known for the stylization of its plot and for the elaborate make-up worn by the key performers. This definition also seems to fit the drama in an unknown number of acts currently being acted out on the European stage by some of the continent's leading central bank players perfectly.
It all started last Thursday when, as surely everyone but my blind and deaf uncle must now know, Mario Draghi made what is widely though to have been an important speech. We will do whatever it takes, as long as it is in the mandate, he is reported as saying. And since stopping anything which could be life-threatening to the Euro dead in its tracks forms part of the bank's mandate under any conceivable interpretation, the ECB now have the widest possible brief within which to circumscribe their actions. The only limitation is that it should be enough, just enough, and no more. As Mario Draghi said, "believe me, it will be enough".

Whom The Gods Would Destroy
The Times They Are A Changin, as the old song goes. Neither in jest nor in total earnest was a truer word ever said in terms of the 2 year old Euro Debt Crisis. The to-ing and frow-ing we have seen over the last few days as commitment to decisions taken at the recent summit started to wobble only serve to underline how hard it is at times to change. These days I have no central "Euro" scenario. Only tail scenarios exist, under which the debt crisis veers in either one direction or the other according to the decisions taken or the absence of them. Naturally this makes the eventual outcome very hard to foresee, which is why the financial markets are having such a hard time of it, and why we see so much volatility.
In the case of the full banking, political and fiscal union scenario the efficient causes which could make it happen are obvious: just keep the various participants looking down into the abyss often enough and long enough. In the case of complete breakup things are rather different, since it is hard to concretise what would actually bring it about, although the risk is evident, and indeed in many ways it seem a more probable end point than the other one.
After thinking about this for some time, the conclusion I have reached is that it is towards political risk, and the progressive destabilizing of Europe's democratic systems, that we need to look, which is what makes recent events in Romania look like something rather more than a mere historical footnote. Continue reading
Political union is transfer union
It is very often suggested that there is no point looking at solutions to the European crisis that don't involve more "political union", an EU institutional term meaning a move towards a more centralised and "federal" (in the special EU sense) union. This argument is curious.
For a start, what is it about political union that is meant to solve the problem? Some people will probably say that it would be "a message" or "a signal" or something, a demonstration of commitment to the European Union that would in itself create confidence. But this sounds a lot like hand-waving to me, or the kind of genius that suggested introducing a pan-European tax as a way of making the Union more popular (yes, Mr. Verhofstadt, it is not entirely forgotten).
More seriously, political unions tend to have a substantial budget and the capacity to use it in a discretionary sense. In the political union between the provinces of Germany, there is a systematic redistribution of money between richer and poorer parts of the union. In the political union between the states of America, there is less overt redistribution, but there are very large federal agencies that in practice tend to redistribute money around the union. NASA, for example, had a secondary and very important role subsidising the industrial development of the South-Eastern US, and this goal influenced important design decisions in the Apollo and Shuttle programs.
It is also true that some degree of redistribution is inseparable from anything that could be described as a political union. Try to imagine the opposite. The political union would have to be designed so as to make absolutely no change to the a priori distribution of income, an exercise that boggles the mind in its complexity and futility.
The simplest model would probably be a libertarian utopia/dystopia with a minimal state devoted solely to defence, funded by a flat tax on the citizens. But now imagine what would happen when its army deployed for annual exercises. A large quantity of income collected all over the union would suddenly be spent in the exercise area. If, as is likely, there were a limited number of convenient training areas, or the army tended to train where it expected to fight strategically, we would expect to see a military-industrial complex emerge in those areas.
Just because your biggest customer is the army doesn't make you useless, of course, it may make you indispensable. And in that case, our political union that is not a transfer union would have to think about how to keep you going between deployments, in which case it would be undertaking both industrial and regional policy. A state (or political union) that has no budget, or a budget that is economically indistinguishable from the absence of one, is no state (or political union). Marx thought that the state would wither away in true communism; you can argue about what he meant, but I think he imagined a society in which the functions of the state were either unnecessary, or else carried out by the citizen as a matter of course, not even perceived as a duty. A state whose budget changed the structure of the economy so little as to be totally non-redistributive would, I think, have a fair claim to have withered away.
I can't see how an entity that made no transfers of wealth or income can be considered to have the functions of a political union. Further, even if a political union was created that was not also a transfer union, it wouldn't solve the problem. Various parts of Germany need transfers from others; the same goes for all political unions. Declaring "political union" doesn't solve the problem in itself. It might be taken to mean "direct ECB management of Greek public finances", but then this is just hoping that the Greeks can find some more money with more will, and perhaps a pony as long as the pony is Karlsruhe-compliant.
Here is the problem: political union is transfer union, or it is not political union, and anyway, if it is not transfer union it is no solution. Transfer union is unacceptable. Therefore, political union is unacceptable, and anyone who talks political union is saying "Let the file mature while we do what the EU does best, holding an Inter-Governmental Conference".
On The Brink Of What?
This weekend I have been thinking quite a lot about what the world is gonna look like on Monday, and have come to the conclusion that it won't be that different from the way it was last Friday. The big news surprise of the weekend was in fact Greece related – since the national football team qualified for the quarter finals of the Eurocopa, beating the Russia by a resounding 1-0.
Oh yes, they also had elections in Greece, didn't they? Continue reading
ECB decides now is not the time for complexity
Strangely timed ECB announcement —
The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) has decided to discontinue the preparations for the Collateral Central Bank Management (CCBM2) project in its current form. In the project detailing phase, a number of challenges in the field of harmonisation were identified and the Eurosystem has decided to address these issues first before proceeding further with a common technical platform. The existing Correspondent Central Banking Model (CCBM) for cross-border collateral management remains in place.
Tracking back through the link trail, it seems that CCBM2 is a project that has existed since 2007, and was being jointly led by the Central Banks of Belgium and the Netherlands. It was focused on unifying the platforms for handling of cross-border collateral posted with the national central banks. Now while the functions of CCBM2 embraces some hot-button issues such as collateral and Target2 balances, this all appears to be a sensible decision that an IT-heavy project was dragging on, getting more complicated than first envisaged, and probably diverting time from other more important tasks. But with the fevered speculation out there about this weekend, did this seem like a good day to bury bad news that could instead be the wrong day to be telling people that the Eurosystem collateral management system has a few holes in it that won't be fixed for a while?
Some thoughts on institutional capacity in South-Eastern Europe
Now everyone's seen the title and stopped reading…Nouriel Roubini has a simple plan for Greece:
Grezxit path: election, default, exit, capital controls, deposit freeze, drachmatization of euro claims, depreciation, return to growth/jobs
Bada bing, bada boom, and it's peace and jobs and freedom all the way up. Dr Doom makes it all sound so simple, stuffed into 140 characters. Now, I'm sympathetic to the Greeks here, and I think that, for example, the idea of imposing nominal wages cuts across the private sector is not just counterproductive but getting on for gratuitiously cruel. But I think we could do without 140 character eurozone exit plans.
What is being suggested here is a stupendous exercise in sheer administration and logistics. Apart from the problem of issuing a new currency, it's probably going to be necessary to pull this off as a surprise. Obviously nobody will be very surprised, but there is such a thing as tactical surprise as well as strategic surprise, and although the capital flight is inevitable, less of it would be much better. All kinds of contracts must be re-written, and it's important to get it right first time in order to minimise the amount of vulture-fund tiresomeness down the track.
Setting up capital controls basically means shutting off international payments, and without fucking up so badly that it will be impossible to start things going again. There are all sorts of trappy administrative details – what happens to OTE's balance with their roaming partners? Olympic Airways aircraft down-route? And there's the oil question. Some people seem to think motor fuel rationing is literally the worst thing in the world, some would disagree, but nobody would argue that a good, solid, tested contingency plan is vital.
These are all the kinds of questions Sir Humphrey Appleby would have asked. I was wondering what the Greek equivalent of Sir Humphrey was, until I realised that of course the concept is absurd. Humph is a satire of a powerful, independent, professional, and highly competent civil service, and if Greece had anything like that, it might not be in this mess.
J. K. Galbraith remarked that poverty is an equilibrium state. Now, a government that literally can't bring in the taxes with a gun to its head isn't something that arises by accident. There is a qualitative difference between one that could perhaps do more to collect on super-rich individuals who go to expensive and inconvenient lengths to pay no tax (like, for example, Sweden), but generally collects every damn penny it can, one that is a bit flaky but which will, by default, collect your income tax routinely (like France), and one that makes it harder to pay your taxes than not. Being that perverse takes effort, and it happens for a reason, that being "keeping the political nation together and keeping politics mostly non-lethal".
We could go on, and we'd discover that the history of how things got this way places a lot of responsibility on the UK, Germany, the Soviet Union, and other major world powers with highly effective civil services. But none of this is going to solve anyone's problems. Neither is barking at the Greeks to bring in the taxes, because their institutions weren't designed that way. Trying to convert the Parthenon into a supertanker is an insane project no matter how much you need another tanker.
So much for the austerity plan.
But Dr. Doom's plan-in-a-tweet could be expanded to Jim Hacker sending Sir Humphrey an e-mail like so:
"All the economic policy decisions since 1979. I want you to reverse them, over a Bank Holiday weekend. Can I have a brief on one side of A4 for the Cabinet? Thx xoxo PS THIS MUST NOT LEAK"
Now, well, quite a few people would say that rolling back every economic decision since '79 sounds great. Some of us have had that feeling for much of the intervening period. But I think everyone would agree that it's quite the project. In fact, if it came from a left-wing political party we'd probably think it unrealistic, romantic, and impractical. Which of the French Trotskyist presidential candidates was it who wanted to use war emergency powers to requisition the banking sector in its entirety? These days, it's hard to tell them apart from Roubini and I for one think this is an improvement.
I reckon the UK civil service might be able to come up with a roughly workable contingency plan, and shut up about it. I think this because, at least into the 1970s and possibly later, they regularly maintained an economic analogue of the military's War Book mobilisation and transition-to-war plan covering the case in which the UK had to quit the multilateral clearing system, never mind the ERM. (And they didn't leak it.) With all due respect, I'm not so sure about the Greek civil service.
As a result, I'm forced to consider that this might be more bish bosh, loadsa money than bada bing, bada boom. And any half decent civil servant would point out that if your policy advice is impossible to implement, that's not something you can just laugh off. Plans that cannot be implemented are so much wind, whether they come from Roubini, Syriza, or the European Central Bank.
If you want a one sentence answer-in-a-tweet, Greece doesn't need the EU to send it a tax commissioner. It needs the EU to send it a default commissioner.

2012 – The Year We All Learn To Live Dangerously
Well, the latest batch of EU interim growth forecasts are out, and there are few surprises after so much prior comment. The Euro Area as a whole is expected to contract, but of course within the aggregate contraction some will fare rather better than others. "The EU is set to experience stagnating GDP this year, and the euro area will undergo a mild recession", according to the press release. What this means in practice is that Greece is expected to contract by 4.3%, while the German economy is forecast to grow by 0.6%. During yet another year Eurozone economies are expected to diverge far more than they will converge. Downward revisions of one percentage point or more were made to the forecasts for Estonia, Spain, Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands, while those for Germany, France, Austria, Slovakia, Denmark, Poland and the UK were either left unchanged or reduced by less than a quarter percentage point. No one was revised upwards. Continue reading
Quick Reality Czech
The Czech Republic is the first economy in central and eastern Europe to slide back into a full technical recession during the current downturn (evidently it is unlikely to be the last), with a 0.3 per cent quarter-on-quarter GDP decline in the last three months of 2011, after a 0.1 per cent drop in the previous quarter.

Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation told CBS' "60 Minutes" last week that, "Our infrastructure is on life support right now." In the transportation sector of our infrastructure, one out of every nine bridges are currently officially considered to be structurally deficient. That would be a total of 70,000 bridges across the country over which incredible amounts of traffic pass every day. In many cases, those bridges are carrying loads that exceed their planned capacity.
If that isn't frightening enough, add in the aging water and wastewater systems that are crumbling and the highways that are in need of repair. Unfortunately, the fixes for these worsening problems cost money – lots of money. And it's simply not available.
New York and New Jersey state officials have begun to consider EB-5 as a potential funding source for much needed bridge repairs. This is an idea whose time has come, especially with the vast number of potential EB-5 investors waiting for their opportunity to use the immigration by investment program to bring their families to America.
EB-5 could unlock the finances needed to begin fixing our broken infrastructure, but there will probably be come changes in the program and/or some fancy legal footwork to make it practical. With the current limit on the number of available EB-5 visas the full potential of addressing the infrastructure problem is not attainable. If we are going to introduce immigration reform, broadening the scope of EB-5 so that infrastructure funding becomes available should be one of any reform's key components.

Hi, need to submit a 4750 words essay on the topic Database Management System.Download file to see previous pages...
This thesis provides a benchmark to assess the performance of storing binary large objects in a relational database management system.A benchmark framework that reduces development and integration costs of benchmarking the database performance of a specific application is included.A randomly generated test script is utilized to provide variation among test cases and consistency between different runs of the benchmark.The benchmark is platform independent and can be extended to support any database vendor providing a Java data source for connectivity.The benchmark framework requires the implementation of one simulation class for each application benchmark.This significantly reduces the cost of benchmark development. Deciding which database system, operating system, or hardware configuration is best suited for the application is now feasible. Existing benchmarks do not provide any analysis of storing BLOBs within the database and are generally completed by the database or hardware vendor rather than the consumer.With the passage of the Utah Digital Signature Act of 1995 and the Federal Electronic Signature Act of 2000,more and more paper documents are being stored electronically. These digitized documents have "electronic signatures" attached to them that serve not only as unique identifiers but make them legally binding and enforceable as well.One obvious medium that is used to quickly access and store these electronic documents is the database. Many online and distributed systems require the efficient access of thousands of binary files such as music (the sample files streamed to potential customers), digital signatures, and other documents and videos that generally range in size from 10KB to SMB. The storage and retrieval of these items can be accomplished through a database system using a column type capable of storing binary data (commonly referred to as a "binary large object" or a BLOB). There are many existing database systems capable of storing BLOBs. Such systems' functionality, performance and cost vary greatly among vendors (with some costing as much as $25,000 for a single CPU license). The prohibitive cost often keeps some organizations from conducting full assessments of database systems for possible use in their operations, potentially causing a loss or revenue. Entities with limited resources need an affordable means of assessing or benchmarking their own database utilization. This thesis, first and foremost, provides a database benchmark for storing BLOBs in a database. Secondly, a database benchmark framework is provided with the example implementation being the BLOB database benchmark. By so doing:
Developers will finally have a database benchmark for the storage of small, medium and large BLOBs in a database.
Users will have a reliable and affordable means to benchmark their applications' database utilization on multiple database systems.
Users will be able to determine the performance of different accessible system configurations (hardware, database and operating systems).
Users will be able to get results reflecting the configuration capability of their organization. Running the benchmark locally will allow reliable replication of the benchmark without reading large disclosure documents provided with results from commercial benchmarks.
The software development community will now have a benchmark for storing BLOBs in a database. This benchmark will fill a void as most database benchmarks focus on OLTP (online transaction processing) that consist of very small records and none focus on the general storage of BLOBs.
My research indicates that no research has been done comparing the performance of database systems' ability to store BLOBs.

Jay Gunn's "Surface Tension" #1 explores an apocalypse heralded by the arrival of coral towers within our oceans. Check out our spoiler-free review of this Lovecraftian horror below!
Written and Illustrated by Jay Gunn
Months after mysterious corals drew 99% of humanity into the sea, a band of survivors ekes out a hollow existence on a remote British island.
When two people are cast up on the beach, completely blue, but very much alive, the island is thrown into turmoil.
What caused the mass extinction event? How did these two return from the deep, when billions died? Most importantly, what is the coral, and what does it want with the Earth?
A creeping, psychological horror fable of a planet rebelling against its inhabitants – perfect for fans of The Walking Dead, The Day of the Triffids, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers – Surface Tension is a gorgeous and timely ecological adventure of unprecedented scope. The oceans have never seemed so threatening!
There are few certainties about the world. One is that humanity's pollution of the Earth is reaching a critical threshold where it can no longer be ignored. The second is that people will always find ways to reinvent the zombie formula.
"Surface Tension" #1 catches up to the world a year after its supposed end. Massive towers of coral erupted throughout the ocean, causing most of humanity's skin to turn to water and compelling them to disappear into the ocean. Now, two of those who were thought lost have come back to one of the few islands where humanity still exists. And it seems they may be related to what caused the coral structures in the first place.
One of "Surface Tension's" strengths is that Jay Gunn's art can be really fucked up. The coral infection that spread throughout humanity is depicted horrendously, with peoples' faces melting like water. There's also the case of the creates that came with the coral, looking like abomination that sprung out of the prehistoric era. Gunn manages to balance his deformed creatures with a nice use of storytelling, these things tend to pop onto a screen in a way that's mildly unsettling and visually striking. While plenty of creatures like zombies have been so assumed into the cultural lexicon that they're no longer frightening, Gunn's creations always manage to be unsettling at least.
And it's this same sense of uneasiness that helps sell the world of "Surface Tension." It's not a world immediately in danger, but one surrounded by it. Literally. In an ocean. The island of Brieth, an idyllic fishing community, makes for a suitable location then as it's a stark contrast to the deep sea terrors that are always poised to take the town. In fact, another strength of the issue is how Brieth seems more or less fleshed out. Though the local townsfolk aren't given too much introduction here, other aspects like a Lovecraftian cult worshipping the coral towers implies a world greater than your average end of the world scenario. "Surface Tension" does a solid job of building some suspense around this new world it lives in, but unfortunately gives it all away too quickly.
One of the bodies that washed up, Megumi, reveals how she was tied to the coral towers right away with little problem. On one hand, it illuminates some aspects of the world and clarifies some things. On the other hand, it lays the central mystery of the title bare before you. That's not to say the backstory isn't interesting, but it is incredibly convenient. The horror in this comic seems to exist within the uncertainty that comes from being surrounded by an infinite ocean of murder monsters and psychic doodads. Pulling the curtain back on those aspects of the story just takes another mystery out of the equation.
Another problem that just giving away what the coral towers are is that it just takes up so much space. As I mentioned earlier, no time is dedicated to any of Brieth's residents, save for an old lady whose job is to immediately ask Megumi for the 411. On one hand, yes the concept is incredibly cool and one i would want to show off too. On the other, there aren't any actual people developed enough to let the situation affect them. It kind of feels like the book is pitching itself to you as you read it.Continued below
Final Verdict: 6.7 – "Surface Tension" #1 is a comic with a compelling premise and some unnerving design to back it up. Its main concern, however, is its unwillingness to further populate its world with characters we can latch onto. I'd like to follow this series, but not if every character's going to be a cardboard cutout. Even Z-Nation had some personality.

Reports of citizen complaints of police misconduct often note that officers are rarely disciplined for alleged misconduct. The perception of little officer accountability contributes to widespread distrust of law enforcement in communities of color. This project investigates how race and segregation shape the outcomes of allegations made against the Chicago Police Department (CPD) between 2011 and 2014. We find that complaints by black and Latino citizens and against white officers are less likely to be sustained.
Music consumption imbues a city's neighborhoods with a character all their own, contributing to a vibrant and dynamic map of urban cultures. Brick‐and‐mortar music retailers remain an important site for this consumption, persisting despite challenges posed by digitization. But the landscape of contemporary cultural consumption has been shaped by urban inequality over time.
Using a multi‐methods approach, we examine socioeconomic and demographic change in Buffalo, New York's, West Side neighborhood. We do this by performing a systematic case study of the neighborhood analyzing census tract data, crime data, key informant interview data from community leaders and organizational representatives, and content analysis data from local newspaper articles. Results suggest that although the neighborhood has shifted dramatically over the last forty‐five years, the changes have been uneven across the West Side.
The aim of this article is to examine the interactive dynamics of "Africa" and the "world economy" over the past half century. By relating the overarching developmental trajectory of the continent to the long-wave rhythms of the world economy, the article identifies three relatively articulated periods in the political economy of postcolonial Africa. The first, from circa 1960 to the late 1970s, was a period of state-led developmentalism enabled by the long postwar boom in the world economy and the embedded liberalism of the Bretton Woods system.
The rise of global environmental governance regimes allegedly contradicts the process of an environmental "race to the bottom" (RTB) that results from capitalist globalization. We examine new developments in this area through a qualitative case study of the Basel Convention. Here, we find that new regulations in toxic wastes governance are in fact being co-created with industry actors and aim to accelerate the flow of toxic "resources" to less-developed countries.
