A Haskell 2010 refactoring tool. HaRe supports the full Haskell 2010 standard, through making use of the GHC API.
Version 0.7.2.8 supports up to GHC 7.6.3.
There is no support for GHC 7.8.x. There will never be support for GHC 7.8.x
From version 0.8.0.0, GHC 7.10.2 is supported.
From version 0.8.3.0, GHC 8.0.1 is supported.
From version 0.8.4.0, GHC 8.0.2 is supported.
It is tested against GHC 7.10.3, GHC 8.0.1 and GHC 8.0.2 (via travis-ci.org)
It currently only has emacs integration built in, community input welcome for others.
HaRe attempts to operate in a safe way, by first writing new files with proposed changes, and only swapping these with the originals when the change is accepted. In the process the original file is renamed to have the current date/time as a suffix. Thus it should be possible to (manually) undo changes.
Even so, it is strongly advised to back up any source files before refactoring, as we can make no promises as to the reliability of this tool. Use at your own risk.
At the moment parsing of any file with FFI exports will fail.

* Updated to latest versions of Diff and hspec
* When refactoring a CPP pre-processed file, read the preprocessor
directives and non-compiled code as comments, so the source can be
round-tripped. This allows refactoring of simple #if/#else/#endif
code. NOTE: no refactoring is done on code that is not live after
the preprocessor.
2013-09-12 v0.7.0.5

Maduromycosis is a progressive granulomatous infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues which may involve muscle and bone. Mycetoma pedis (mycetoma of the foot), the most common form of mycetoma, is known widely as the Madura foot. The infection is endemic in Africa, India and South Americas and Madurella mycetomatis is the most prevalent cause of mycotic mycetoma worldwide. The characteristic clinical presentation includes a triad of tumor like swelling, draining sinuses, and macroscopic grains [1]. Infection usually follows a traumatic inoculation of the pathogen into subcutaneous tissue via contaminated mechanical vectors. This infection can spread and involve fascia, muscle, bone and regional lymph nodes [2]. Mycetoma requires long-term treatment, consisting of a combination of surgical procedures and prolonged medical therapy. In the absence of a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment, mycetoma can lead to significant morbidity due to bone destruction and deformities [3].
A 45 year old male presented to us with 5 years history of gradually progressive swelling and painful nodular lesions over the plantar and lateral aspect of his right foot. The lesions were a single nodule to begin with, but over the time, they had increased in size and number to their present size, and there was history of intermittent purulent discharge and crusting over these nodules. He did not recall any predisposing injury and did not suffer from systemic symptoms. On physical examination, the patient had a large swelling in the dorsum of his right foot with multiple crusted nodules and sinuses draining purulent fluid (Fig. 1a and b). There was no lymphadenopathy. Other systems were normal.
A biopsy of the lesions was done which revealed large amount of black grains, with a reactive inflammatory process surrounding the lesion (Fig. 2), which confirmed the diagnosis of Maduromycosis. The patient was treated with Itraconazole for 6 months which showed mild improvement in symptoms.

CORI POLICY ADOPTED: Selectmen voted to implement a CORI policy for all elected and appointed officials who may, in the course of their business in their elected or appointed role, have unlimited access to children or the elderly. The policy will also pertain to town employees.
This decision came after Selectmen Fred Goodrich requested Town Administrator Charlie Blanchard to look into such a policy.
Blanchard contacted Agapi Koulouris, Acting General Counsel for the Criminal History Records Board, who noted that a clear explanation is needed as to the circumstances surrounding such unmonitored access. The individual authorized to view CORI records would have to agree that the potential for unmonitored access actually existed, justifying the criminal history records check. An investigation group looks into CORI access requests and makes sure the use is justified.
Koulouris said the CORI check would have to be consistent for all who hold the same position.
In the case of CORI checks for elected officials, she suggested that town counsel be asked to develop a procedure to be followed. She does not believe it would be legal to require a CORI check be conducted before an election. If it was done after the election there could be a serious problem if the individual was unable to continue to serve in his or her elected capacity.
"My thinking is that this policy would have a chilling affect on the democratic process. Let's get something on the books now, and then talk about it further to tweak it," Selectman Mike Quinlivan said.
"Under the new policy no CORI is needed if you are elected or appointed unless you have unmonitored access to the children or the elderly. In other words, the CORI is triggered by the unmonitored access, not the election or appointment," Chairman Jack Malone said.
CAUCUS SUPPORT: Selectmen agreed to support the Republican Caucus opposing Governor Deval Patrick's desire to apply revenues from as yet unapproved casinos toward the FY09 budget.
"The profit from the lottery funds was to go to cities and towns, but when the going got tough, they went back on their word. Therefore, I'll endorse this as those who don't remember history are condemned to repeat it," Quinlivan said.
WARRANT OPEN: Selectmen opened the warrant for the annual town meeting, which is scheduled for May 5. All warrant articles must be received prior to April 7. Selectmen soon will begin meeting weekly to deal with budget and warrant items.

The Bride is about an English Lady and a Scot Laird. Jamie was forced to marry Alec Kincaid when the Scot king ordered Alec to pick an English bride, while Jamie's stepfather was punished by England's king because he didn't pay his taxes. Jamie's stepfather was to marry two of his daughters to the Scots. He didn't really want to give Jamie to the Scot because he depends on Jamie on running his house, so he tried to hide Jamie from the Scots by telling them he only have three daughters but they still found out about Jamie.
Alec picked Jamie over her sisters because of her beauty and the strength of her character. Jamie is very tough lady who puts her family first before herself. Because she's not really her stepfather's daughter she's learned to make herself useful to him and her sisters so that she would feel that she's a part of them.
At first she's scared of Alec because there was a rumor that Alec killed his first wife but as the story progress, she learned to trust him.
The book is about how Alec and Jamie adjusted to their new status in life. It is about how they put their differences aside to make their relationship work.
I really loved this book! 'The Bride' is one of the historical romance novels that made me laugh. It is one of those books that are fun to read. When I was reading this book, I forgot everything that is surrounding me. I didn't even notice how the sun has turned into night! I highly recommend this book!

In his State of the Union address on Jan. 31, President Bush called for greater civility in our public debates about national policy. Our differences cannot be allowed to harden into anger, he said. While it may prove to be an elusive goal, a restoration of civility in our public debate could have important pragmatic consequences. At other times and on other issues, a more civil public debate has fostered the kind of bipartisan foreign policy that strengthened the leadership of the United States in the international community. Today, however, we are a nation sharply polarized on many issuesmost especially on issues of foreign policyand our attempts at leadership in the international community are more often resented than respected.
The pressures of the political season leading up to the 2006 elections, however, pose a formidable challenge to any hope of restoring civility in the nation's public debate. Karl Rove, the single-minded strategist behind President Bush's political success, has already defined the 2006 political campaign as a choice between the Republicans who understand the meaning of 9/11 and the Democrats who do not. Mr. Rove generously allowed that this did not mean that the Democrats were bad Americans but that they were simply wrong about the challenges of international terrorism after the terrorist attacks of 2001. The president, after calling for greater civility, insisted that the debate about U.S. policy in Iraq should not be preoccupied with hindsight and second-guessing.
While the conciliatory overtures of the President's address were welcome, more troubling was his continued attempt to invoke the emotional legacy of 9/11 as justification for the invasion of Iraq. Saddam Hussein may have been a monstrous dictator, but there is no evidence that Iraq played any role in the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001. Yet in his State of the Union address, the president reminded his audience that On Sept. 11, 2001, we found that problems originating in a failed and oppressive state 7,000 miles away could bring murder and destruction to our country. Was the president referring to Iraq, or Afghanistan, or possibly Saudi Arabia, the homeland of most of the 9/11 terrorists?
A few weeks before the State of the Union Address, the U.S. Catholic bishops, in a statement by Bishop Thomas G. Wenski of Orlando, chairman of the Bishops' Committee on International Policy, anticipated the president's call for a more responsible approach to the choices that now confront the United States in Iraq. Like President Bush, they called for a serious and civil national dialogue about the choices that confront the nation in Iraq, acknowledging both the mistakes that have been made and the signs of hope that have appeared.
While Democrats as well as Republicans accepted the Administration's case for invading Iraq in 2003, the bishops' conference did not, but warned against unforeseen consequences and questioned the morality of a pre-emptive military strike against Iraq. The history of the past three years has confirmed the bishops' fears. No weapons of mass destruction were found; planning for the post-invasion occupation proved inadequate, and disastrous decisions were made; the reconstruction effort has been plagued by corruption and inefficiency. An honest appraisal of past history is essential to wise decisions about the future and cannot be dismissed as simply hindsight or second-guessing.
In moving toward a responsible transition in Iraq, the bishops underline the need for wider and deeper international support for the reconstruction of Iraq, which will require the United States to give its international partners and allies a real voice and real responsibilities. Like President Bush, the bishops call for greater civility in our national dialogue, but they also insist on the need to acknowledge past mistakes, failed intelligence and inadequate planning. The bishops echo Pope Benedict's message for the World Day of Peace, In Truth, Peace, when they insist that our national dialogue must begin with a search for the truth' of where we find ourselves in Iraq and not with a search for political advantage or justifications for past positions.
The bishops' idea of the kind of national dialogue necessary at this moment in our history is probably not what Karl Rove or his Democratic adversaries seek for the political season of 2006. But it is the kind of debate this moment deserves, if we are to honor the sacrifices of U.S. military personnel and the aspirations of the Iraqi people. Greater civility in our public debate is not simply a nod to conventional etiquette. Rather, it demands acceptance of honest assessment of the past and critical analysis of failed policies. Civility is not the enemy of disagreement, but the condition under which disagreements can be seriously entertained and consensus reached in foreign policy.

Joey: Hey man.
Chandler: Hey- want some breakfast?
Joey: How can you even ask me that?

Phoebe: No I just stopped by her apartment to drop off some books I borrowed and I heard that someone was in the shower.
Monica: Are you sure it wasnt Joey?
Phoebe: Well if it was he has an identical twin- cause he is sitting at your kitchen table eating pancakes with Chandler.
Monica: I cannot believe this, it takes Rachel forever to get ready in the morning. Ill be stuck here until noon. she promised she would go right away.

Joey: So??
(Chandles rises from the table and starts walking towards the bathroom, Joey gets up and starts to follow when Chandler turns around and glares at him one more time)

This week's winner is Amy M! Thanks so much to everyone who commented!
I took an (inadvertent) two-week hiatus from blogging to get my head together with respect to my current WIP. It's still not there completely, but I'm getting closer. The book takes place in Napa, so visiting helped a lot. My friend Spence (of Tahoe trip fame) is always up for a road trip, so last week, I dragged her north to do some research. Another friend joined us for part of the time, and let me tell you, it was a huge treat to be up in Napa with two of my besties. We left Silicon Valley after I dropped off the Barrett pack at school, and it only took us an hour and a half to make our way up to Napa. It was like a different world. Relaxed. Low-key. Low stress, too. The weather was beautiful, and the vineyard-covered hillsides were breathtaking. But don't let me tell you. Let me show you.
First, we stopped at the Oxbow Public Market. It seemed like a mini version of San Francisco's Ferry Building with all the artisanal food stalls (cheese, bread, chocolate, pastries, etc. inside). We ate here twice, and both times I really enjoyed it.
We stopped at Hess Winery and toured the art gallery. There we found this flaming Underwood typewriter. My friends encouraged me to take a picture with it ("Get closer," they said, but I was a little afraid to, given that it was totally en fuego).
We were able to see Napa at its best during this season. Unfortunately, the manuscript I'm working on takes place in winter-time, but I got what I needed from some friendly locals.
The cheese selections at the local grocers were outrageously comprehensive. People love their cheese. And their wine, of course. 🙂
Last but not least, Spence and I toured Jarvis Wines, which had a secret underground cave. I took this picture surreptitiously, since I'm pretty sure photos weren't allowed on the tour. Spence is in the background, looking suitably mysterious.
It was good to get away from SV for at least a little while, and it was even better to get my much-needed research done. Now, onward with the writing!!
This week I'm giving away a copy of Midnight Secrets by Ella Grace, a romantic suspense story I really enjoyed. To enter, just leave me a comment letting me know if you've ever been to Napa and what you loved about it. If you haven't been to Napa, no worries! Tell me what you love about Napa Valley wine. If you don't drink wine, just tell me something funny. 🙂 Contest ends Thursday, April 10 at 9pm Pacific. U.S. only, please.
And for those of you who read to the end, this is my 100th blog post! Yay!

Pity the poor teens growing up in London today. The fast-moving modern world, both enriched and strangled by smart phones and social media, has created many different issues for those dealing with the challenges of adolescence.
But sometimes (only sometimes!), we can't help wishing photography had been a little more ubiquitous when we were young; it'd be great to look back at our carefully crafted teenage world via an Instagram channel or Facebook feed.
For those of us in our 30s and 40s, there are precious few documents of that time: we have to rely on our memories of beloved Take That/Trainspotting/Teri Hatcher posters fraying at the edges; scarves artfully draped over mirrors; plastic-y stereos, piles of mix tapes and vinyl; the heady scent of Exclamation, Lynx Africa or vanilla joss sticks in the air... nostalgia is a funny thing.
For some lucky teens today, their teenage realms have been documented not just by their smart phones, but for a new exhibition at the Geffrye Museum.
Teenage Bedrooms is a small display, looking inside the homes of 26 London teenagers to explore the meaning and significance of contemporary teenage bedrooms.
The show combines photographs, interviews, objects and an installation representing a teenager's bedroom to examine how identity, memory and friendship are expressed within these intense, private spaces.
Within the family home, the teenage bedroom emerges as an intimate canvas and a space apart, described by one participant as 'like a house inside of a house'.
Curators at the Geffrye's new show have also interviewed the parents, asking them to reflect on their own remembered teenage bedrooms.
One noticeable development is the recurrent mobile phone on a pillow or laptop on the duvet. Beds that used to be single are now often doubles, described as 'an island of comfort from which to connect and communicate'; very different from the static, public (and frequently overheard) phone in the hall from when previous generations were younger.
At least guitars, fairy lights and Elnett continue to survive.
Teenage Bedrooms is curated by Carey Newson, an ESRC-funded doctoral researcher from the Centre for Studies of Home. The photography is by visual anthropologist Kyna Gourley. It runs from 4 October to March next year, and is free.

|Retailers sample Languedoc wines at W. Lakeshore, Chicago
I'm starting to get more invitations of this nature but it's hard for me to justify taking a day off work, the cost of parking, the drive, hotel, etc. But meeting a good friend for dinner was enough for a little 'what the heck' trip to Chicago.
I spent a week in the Languedoc in January learning about organic wines. The wines I tasted were made almost exclusively with traditional methods and presented by 10 different distributors.
I left again convinced of the tremendous quality for value the Languedoc offers winos.
The reds are full bodied and rich, the unusual whites are crisp and often soft on the palate. The Roses, right next door to Provence, are soft but perfect for summer sipping.
I'm not a big sparking fan and left generally unimpressed with the sparklers, but one strike is a pretty good batting average.
Benson Marketing Group which promotes Languedoc wines. Account executive David Cohn told me his company likes to include an education component and not just a wine tasting. He's right. I'm sometimes shocked how little retailers know about a given region or its wines. Now, no retailer can be an expert of all the world's wine regions but a specialty tasting like this one makes sense when it includes an education component.
Two retailers joined Frederic Jeanjean, President of the Languedoc AOC, to talk not just about the wines and the region, but also how the wines should be promoted or presented to consumers.
Languedoc wines are a great value, most drinking well above that magic $12-$16 range you'll pay.
|Nice view of Lake Michigan, Navy Pier from 33rd floor.
Discussion including pronouncing the French names, the always-controversial topic of French wine labeling was part of the 45-minute session.
"We don't want to copy the other appelations," Jeanjean said. "We want to be unique. Even though we were one of the first regions of the world to produce wine with the Romans, we are young. This is our Renaissance period."
Here are some labels I tasted and thought were standouts:
Chateau des Karantas Languedoc - The Karantas wines from the La Clape region are affordably priced and really nicely-balanced, full-bodied wines. They are distributed by Carroll Distributors in Indiana.
Gerard Bertrand Wines - Bertrand was named European Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast and tasting a couple of the wines proved the accolades. I tasted my first-ever PicPoul wine at the Bertrand table and enjoyed the light and soft white.
Les Deux Rives Corbieres - Lex Deux Rives wines were consistently good from the white, rose through the Chateau d'Aussieres Corbieres which was the best red blend I tasted all day. This is another label widely distributed, including Indiana.

BSNL to invest Rs 830 cr in Odisha
Puri: State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will invest Rs 830 crore for improving services in Odisha and half of that amount will be spent on the broadband network in the current financial year, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said today.
Inaugurating wifi hotspot zone created by BSNL at Lord Jagannath Temple, Prasad said, "During the current financial year a project outlay of Rs 830 crore has been earmarked for BSNL Odisha for various projects including the Rs 400 crores earmarked for NOFN (National Optical Fibre Network)."
The launch is part of government project to provide wifi service at historical monuments. Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and state minister Pranab Prakash Das were also present at the function.
The wifi facility has been created by BSNL with the optical fiber backbone which can provide backhaul broadband bandwidth of up to 100 MB per second.
BSNL will provide free Wi-Fi service for 30 minutes per 24 hours, limited to three times in a month, which visitors can utilise in multiple sessions.
"After free usage limit of 30 minutes is exhausted, a customer can continue using the service on paid basis for which subscription plans are available in the denomination of Rs 30, Rs 50, Rs 90 and Rs 150 for validity of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes and one day respectively," BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Shrivastava said.
BSNL has already extended similar wifi facility in the world famous Sun Temple, Konark, in Odisha.
"In the initial phase already 12,500 lines have been replaced and during 2015-16, 12,750 lines have been planned to be installed," Prasad said.
He also inaugurated a new BSNL building at Bhubaneswar which has been constructed at a project cost of approximately Rs 17 crore.
Prasad further said that BSNL is replacing 30 years old switching technology with the latest Next Generation Network (NGN) technology.
The minister mentioned that BSNL plans to commission 372 2G mobile sites and 193 3G BTS (mobile towers).
Under the NOFN project, BSNL has plans to cover 3,369 village panchayats in 167 blocks this fiscal.
Shrivastava said it will cover 15 revenue districts: Boudha, Cuttack, Deogarh, Dhenkanal, Gajpati, Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur, Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Kendrapara, Kendujhar, Khurda, Mayurbhanja, Nayagarh and Puri.

Additional Tips : Be Creative with the Seasoning
Option 1: Instead of the lime and salt seasoning, you can add a crushed clove of garlic, some olive oil and salt.
Option 2: Instead of the green chillies, you can add some red chilly powder/cayenne pepper along with a dash of lime juice and salt.
Option 3: Or just keep it plain simple with salt and pepper.
For a variation, you can add sprouted green gram or add some chopped pineapple. You can use parsley if you do not get coriander leaves. You can use yellow and red bell pepper too. Mix and match ingredients for variation in color, crunchiness, and taste, and all provide our bodies with the essential antioxidants.
This is a fantastic recipe and so simple! I am going to try it out today! Thanks for sharing! :)
Purple Perl, This looks scrumptous! What a great alternative for enjoying corn! Must try this! Thank you for sharing, Peace & Blessings!
Sounds great. I tweeted. Yum.
Lovely! I always enjoy corn no matter how it's prepared. This recipe sounds very yummy and healthy. Rated up!
I like your combination of ingredients in this corn salad. When we have fresh corn, we only boil it for about 3 to 5 minutes. Eating salads like this one of yours is certainly good for one's health! Voted up and useful. Thanks!
This looks like a delicious salad for summer. I am copying off this recipe and I will pin it. Thanks for the recipe.
Wow salad looks so delicious. Though i have tried it only few times but i think we can also add cucumber to the salad to make it more delicious.... lovely hub.
Love salads! Never tried it with chilli though..... Interesting concept. Have to give it a try.
Thanks, interesting, awesome.....

The veritable classic of short poems for Valentine's Day begins, "Roses are red, violets are blue." The poem has been rewritten many times, both romantically and humorously, and can be personalized for any lover.
Beyond the almost nursery rhyme poem, a classic poem like Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Sonnet 43" from "Sonnets from the Portuguese," is short and romantic, perfect for Valentine's Day. The poem opens, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. / I love thee to the depth and breadth and height / My soul can reach," and is best suited for a serious romance.
For a more modern twist to send your crush, try Langston Hughes' "Harlem Sweeties," which describes in detail the beauty of a flirtatious girl in Harlem, with phrases like, "glow of the quince" and "honey-brown dream."
For Valentine's Day cynics, "Another Valentine" by Wendy Cope talks about the feeling of obligation on the holiday, "Today we are obliged to be romantic / And think of yet another valentine," though by the end romantic feelings are evident even among critics.
Other poems perfect for wooing a longtime love or an infatuation include "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by Christopher Marlowe, "A Glimpse" by Walt Whitman and "I Wanna Be Yours" by John Cooper Clarke.

This book is a place where social actors in transformative times will find connection between servant-leaders like Medgar Evers and Malcolm X, who themselves have hallowed certain spaces with their sacrifices for justice, and the sustainers, who ensured the transformation of Robben Island Prison, the Selma to Montgomery trail, and other sites into permanent symbols of equality. Builders, actors, preservers, scholars, storytellers and activists, by returning again and again to these sites, hallow these grounds anew. Through their stories, readers will find:
inspiration to transform, restore and sustain landmarks of justice, in order to maintain the flame of many selfless acts, and by that light, to illuminate current and future efforts to transform society and bring forth the fruits of equality;
information about the reinforcing power that sacred spaces of the struggle have, for all generations and groups of justice workers, whether their efforts takes digital, direct action, traditional, or non-hierarchical form;
evolution of landmarks of the civil rights, human rights and social movements, and specific changes those landmarks must make in order to play a more integral and explicit role in bringing justice and equality for the marginalized.

I don't have to work to get money.
Part of all my profits goes into permanent wealth creation, capital and reserves.
You have many beliefs about money. Many of those beliefs are transparent to you (you do not consciously know you have them) and so they work behind the scenes producing results that seem to come from some external source (thus the idea of being a helpless victim of circumstances or chance). But you can bring them out of transparency and even change them. You can also discover your beliefs by asking yourself questions like:
What did I learn about money as a child?
What is my biggest fear about money?
How did my family handle money?
How do I handle money?
Do I feel worthy of having and enjoying money?
What do I criticize and praise myself for regarding money?
It is of great help to have some kind of a guide as you go along making deep changes in your belief systems. It also helps greatly to keep records and measure your progress. The degree of guidance you can get varies greatly as well, and it is important to choose a guide that fits well with you yet moves you further than you imagine (this helps you see beyond your "fence").

There's no question that an MBA student at Smith will spend the majority of his or her time outside the classroom working on schoolwork or finding a job or internship. However, that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of events where students can put such stressors out of their minds.
Two such events took place last week. Last Thursday was the annual MBA Association charity auction, at which students bid on items with the proceeds going to the Special Olympics. This year the auction generated more than $11,000, easily topping last year's record. Eight Smith faculty members donated dinners for four-to-six students at their homes, and Associate Dean Ken White offered a trip to a Washington Nationals baseball game that will include transportation via limousine.
Then on Friday, Smith's Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship and Smith alumnus and Under Armour founder Kevin Plank held the ninth-annual Cupid's Cup student entrepreneurship competition. The competition was emceed by former NFL player and bow tie enthusiast Dhani Jones, and judged by Plank, Def Jam Recordings co-founder Russell Simmons, MapMyFitness founder Robin Thurston, and SoulCycle co-founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice.
This year's competition was won by Disease Diagnostic Group, makers of a handheld malaria diagnosis device.

text: Hi girls, I've been posting in the other threads about my dislike for the monogram speedy (no offense to anyone ), but I must come clean...the main reason I did not buy that bag was because it was not made in France. All the bags at the boutique were made in the u.s.a. Dont get me wrong, Im all about the red, white, and blue , but isnt l.v so expensive because its made in france? does this bother anyone else or is it just me??? I've also heard that the L.V's that are made in spain and the U.S are considered "second grade"...is this true???

If you want to see what modern poets make of Blake you will have to go to the poetry events I am leading at the Ashmolean. They are not shown on the Ashmolean's own festival programme on-line nor on the Blackwell's festival website.
However, you can find information about them on the written leaflet available in both places. Poems by Nick Owen, Tina Negus, Jalina Myana, Mary Stableford, Diana Moore, Julie Forth and others can be heard in readings at the museum exhibition at 12.30 and 14.30 on January 24th and February 21st. My illustrated presentation, "In the footsteps of Blake," can be seen on 28th February at 11.00 -12.30 p.m. in the lecture theatre at the museum. You can find examples of poem-picture art inspired by Blake on the Flickr website here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/poetryandpicturesengland/

Failed in First year of Graduation?
Now what ? 1 year break
Should I change course or should I repeat first year? Should I change college?
You need to understand, What are real reasons of failing?
– Failed in choosing course?
if you misunderstood your current course or now if you realize that you are not liking your current course then better change it as you will not succeed if you do not have interest in it.
– Failed in understanding subjects?
What efforts have you taken? did you attain college lectures? did u read books ? did you join classes for extra coaching if you are not understanding in college? In spite of taking all these efforts if you have failed then better change course. If you honestly feel that you have not taken those efforts then join good coaching class and build your foundation strong. Alternatively change your college and take fresh admission to better college where you will get better teaching and you can create your fresh new image.
– Failed in preparation of Exam?
Some times you treat first year as rest year and enjoy your new college life too much as a result you study less and when exam comes it's too late to realize that you have very less or no time to prepare. In this situation you can repeat first year either in same college or fresh admission in other college and focus more on studies.
– Failed in writing papers?
Refer to EQPS or answer papers of scholar students to understand how to score good marks. Practice writing papers with time limit and ask your subject teachers to check and give their feedback on improving your scores.
Request University/college and get photocopy of your papers and find out where you went wrong. If possible also get some scholar student's help and get their answer paper photocopy to compare their answers with yours.
– Are you outsider (hostelite student)?
You need some time to adjust with new city, people, climate, food style(mess), responsibilities, etc…
if you are leaving away from home for the 1st time then normally you tend to enjoy your freedom as it's new city for you and mostly no body knows them, so freak out, Enjoy Life , party !!. Eventually you Study very less and result is FAIL in academics.
– Failed because of Medical or exceptional problem? you could not prepare or give papers.
Better repeat 1st year, study hard, score high and make best use of your break time.
Now what ?
If you are year down then now you have to think of Whether to repeat 1st year in same college or take fresh admission to 1st year in different college?
it's up to you. If you are self driven and if you think you really did not study last year then use this year and study hard. If required get coaching from good class to build your foundation strong.
If you take admission to college then again you will have to attain college compulsory (lectures and practicals) which will leave you very less time for studies. instead I will advise you to join classes. Further if you are really weak then try to get some personal tutor to help you personally.
If you take admission to same college for 1st year for same course then it won't make much difference as most of the things will be same. Instead you can think of changing college and create your fresh image. Take college that has good faculties / placements / near by your home.
How can I make best use of year?
– study in depth of failed subjects, practice earlier year question papers, score high, get good percentage which will help you in getting job.
– In Pune university backlog exam will be in October, so till October exam focus only on ur failed subjects and make them strong. After your backlog exam start studying 2nd year syllabus on ur own (from books, Internet, private institutes) so that you will shine in 2nd year and give you more confidence.
"First year is not a Rest year, it's a Test year".
You need to test whether you are in right course. If it's not suitable to you then better change course instead of just dragging your self for another 3 years and get paper degree which will be of no use.

3D Printing
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is a state of the art manufacturing process that can generate any 3D computer model into a precise plastic prototype. This part can be actual size or scaled down version of a larger object. The model is generated from a 3D computer modeling software or can be 3D scanned from an existing object. These models can be easily generated at a small fraction of the cost of construction. If it can be imagined, it can be created.
Possibilities of 3D Printing
- Prototype designs to scale or scaled down
- Working Assemblies
- Tradeshow scaled down models
- Custom iPhone cases
- Christmas ornaments
- Machining/Construction set up jigs
- Test fit parts
- Toys
- Equipment models
Let us build something for you:
PES is a design and engineering firm and can help generate your product from scratch. We have all the 3D modeling and design software in house to turn your idea into real possibilities.
Have a particular broken item that you can't replace? Need an educational model for your customer, patient, or student? Want a special unique iPhone case design specific to your identity? How about a scale model of your product for a tradeshow? Let PES model and build your custom ideas at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional manufacturing.

Following Lord Shankar's advice, when Goddess Lakshmi and Shanidev were on their way to meet Lord Brahma, they saw Naradmuni who asked them where they were going to. After knowing the reason, Naradmuni told both of them that he could sort out the issue then and there and they did not need to trouble Lord Brahma for this purpose. Both the Lords were very happy to know this. They asked how the issue was going to be sorted out.
Naradmuni pointed at a distance and asked both Goddess Lakshmi and Shanidev to walk till that point and then to come back. Both of them, with a question mark on their faces, followed the instruction. When they came back, Naradmuni said that he came to a conclusion that both the Lords were equal in status – nobody is superior and nobody is inferior. How? He explained, Goddess Lakshmi is great when She comes in and Shanidev is great when He departs.
The issue was solved. Both Goddess Lakshmi and Shanidev were exhilarated to hear the decision. They left for their respective destinations happily after thanking Naradmuni for sorting it out."
The above story was shown in one of the episodes of a mythological TV show several years ago. I was spellbound to know how a complex issue like this could be solved diplomatically, so easily. Certainly a very big clash could be avoided by Naradmuni who handled it very tactically and smartly. I must say that episode of the TV show inspired me a lot and encouraged me to give a very different approach whenever there is a problem with friends or among friends.
Not only this episode, there are many things we can learn from history and mythology. Many of these teachings are still applicable in today's world. We just need to refer to the correct parallel situation to get inspiration from.

An appeal has been made to prevent a potential tragedy for youngsters swimming in Dorney Lake.
The venue's managing director, Ivor Lloyd, said its main concern is to protect visitors by stopping them from jumping into the water and risking death or serious injury.
Entry to the 2012 Olympic rowing canoeing venue is free but swimming is not permitted other than as part of an organised event.
However, it is visited daily by children looking to enjoying the water in the summer heat.
"The main thing for us is the possibility that someone is going to badly hurt themselves," he said
"It's the usual thing, the youngsters are about 12-13 years old and they don't really understand the danger of water courses.
"We need to raise awareness."
Mr Lloyd said it was especially important to enforce the message in light of the recent death of a teenager in water close to home.
Kyrece Francis, 13, had reportedly been enjoying the warm weather with friends but got into difficulties in the River Thames and drowned on Tuesday, July 22.
Dorney Lake carries the added risk of thrill-seekers hitting the bottom of the lake if they are diving in from the bank or pontoons.
"The real danger is that someone will go off and hit the bottom," added Mr Lloyd.
"They're going to break their back or their neck if they don't outright kill themselves."
Furthermore, he said hitting hidden buoy lines in the water could cause horrific injuries to divers and swimmers and even 'sever a limb'.
He was also desperate to stop 'needless' criminal damage at the lake.
Throw lines and life rings have been tossed into the water, which could compromise rescue efforts in case of an emergency.
A separate appeal from the South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) also called for care to be taken following a spate of call outs to water incidents involving children, young people and adults this year.
Tony Heselton, paramedic and SCAS safeguarding lead said people should only swim in designated areas where there are the appropriate safety precautions.

- San Jose(esp the region I stay in) is the most artificial place I ever will see. Yes, it even beats the places you dream about. Everything here is just about perfect. Where else do you find deserted roads all through the day. The VTA train which runs for local transportation also runs all for itself.
- Where do you find trains and buses running bang on time. I mean, if the train is supposed to come at 7.23 it will come sharp at 7.23 .
- There's not a spec of dust on roads. The reason for this is that the roadsides from where sand can fly into the road is covered by wooden flakes which are left behind from construction of trees.
- The climate seems to be tailor made for comfort. Well that is for the time being though. Sunny and windy afternoons and chilly but comfortable nights.
- The city is amazingly clean and the people unbelievably friendly.
- The city is well planned in all aspects with perfect roads and infrastructure.
- But even though they thought of all this they missed to think of an important aspect which one might need and that has to do with toilet. Hope you got it.

Life in San Jose
Well, I am in San Jose for the past 2 weeks and will continue to bless this land with my presence for another 10 weeks. So how's life here, or how's life different here. These are some of the points which were markedly different from what I had seen or experienced so far.

Paul Resika
Paul Resika (08/15/1928- ) was born in New York City. He studied privately with Sol Wilson from 1940 to 1944, and with Hans Hofmann from 1945 to 1947. He has taught at the University of Oregon, the Art Students League, Cooper Union, Dartmouth College, Skowhegan School, the University of Pennsylvania, and the State University of New York at Potham. A painter, his works are simplistic in terms of composition and complex in terms of coloring; simultaneously abstract and realistic. In many of them there is no clear line of horizen coupled with a rather illusive use of light. His preferred subjects are those that are imbued with historical significance; currently this is interpreted as French farm houses with red roofs. Although he likes to paint outdoors, he does not think of himself as a painter of landscapes, nor does he attribute any particular virtue to this practice. Resika says "What we want as painters is to be free, happy and certain about what we're doing." Resika has been the recipient of several awards including the Louis Comfort Tiffany Grant, a Childe Hassam award, and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship (in 1984). Also, he has participated in a great number of solo and group exhibtions throughout the United States and abroad. A retrospective of his work was held at the Artists' Choice Museum in New York City in 1985. His works are in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, Lincoln, NE, and the National Museum of American Art, Washington, DCHis works are in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, Lincoln, NE, and the National Museum of American Art, Washington, DC.

Luckily he will survive. The shooter escaped, but a suspect has been captured.
From an article:
Police said a group standing on a corner down the block from the home in 4200 block of West Fifth Avenue began arguing with someone sitting in a car. Someone from the group pulled out a gun and opened fire.
McDuffie had just made it in her house when she heard the shots. Tyvion was shot while he was helping his cousin bring her bike up some steps.
"He just placed his arms up and said he had been shot," she said. "He heard the shots and he felt (the) shot in his arm."
The gunman fled north. Police say they are questioning a person of interest.
McDuffie said she became panic-stricken when she couldn't quickly find her cell phone to call 911. "My daughter had to call an ambulance," McDuffie said.
McDuffie said doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
Police said the shooting occurred in an area where the Four Corner Hustlers street gang has been embroiled in a conflict with several other gangs as well as feuding internally. ....
McDuffie said she's lived in her two-story brick house for two years but Sunday night's shooting may have been the final straw.
"Now he can't come outside," McDuffie said of Tyvion. "We have to move."Bullets don't know when to stop.

Keke Lindgard for Elle France. Just the right amount of preppy, casual and sexy. I love red lips.
So today I thought I would put on something cute for work as I was really not in the mood for tax – white collared silk top under black bodysuit with grey pencil skirt falling just above the knees.
But oh my gawd it was freaking freezing today in London. Pencil skirt – big, BIG mistake. Linen scarf – I was training myself for winter. Leather jacket – seriously, Yasmin, you're not a polar bear. You can barely stand the air conditioning in your car.To keep myself warm I had to consume a LOT of tea. I kept whizzing off to the ladies every 15 minutes. I really should have anticipated this and shouldn't have chosen such a time consuming outfit to assemble.
I thought I would be able to go home and change before dinner but it didn't help that the tube was temporarily suspended, and there was a massive holdup on Oxford Circus so I was pretty much stranded in town, AND I had to pee. Real badly. I ended up seeking refuge at Selfridges (where toilets were easily available) until it was time for dinner.
So there I was, lifting, unbuttoning, pulling down, squatting, followed by standing, pulling up, buttoning and 'straightening' my skirt. Imagine doing that 20 times and you are where I am. Tired. As I am typing this I feel the need to go again.
Next time, I'll just stick to chunky knits and black skinny trousers to work. Less tea, less trips. Fashion is not always a good idea.
I am quite sad. And pathetic. Whichever. You decide. Like every other female who's obsessed about fashion, I am ecstatic, no, deliriously excited about Lanvin's genius collaboration with H&M. After months of what feels like agonising pain, that wait is (almost) over. Lanvin's collection will go on sale this Tuesday (23rd Nov) in London in selected H&M stores and online. It's gotten to a point where I've actually had dreams (yes, more than one!) of Lanvin dresses and necklaces, oh, that fuchsia necklace. I will go insane if I don't have that necklace around my neck within the next few days.
I've been 'strategising' the ways in which I will (note will. Don't say I don't have focus and drive) get my hands on at least one of these beautiful garments and accessories:
1. Waking up at 6am (the garments officially go on sale at 7am online) and 'prep' i.e. constantly refreshing the website in case it 'decides' to open earlier. I will have, laid in front of me, all of my credit cards – all with full financial capacity to enable maximum purchasing power. My laptop(s) will be placed in strategic areas in the flat to ensure maximum internet connection strength;
2. If that fails, I would call work and let them know I have an "emergency" and will be late for work and quickly rush to H&M store and brave the crowd of manic female shoppers;
3. Alternatively, I could go to the extreme – call in sick for work and start making my way towards all the selected H&M stores.
The boyfriend reading this will be shaking his head all the way from the Argentinian farm.
I'm getting all giddy now.

I've never been a fan of maxi skirts until now. How can I not? It is such a versatile piece – it can be dressed up or down, worn day or night and it's so comfortable. Also a plus: no longer having to pull your skirt down every time the wind blows, or if you are like me, constantly having to touch your butt to make sure your skirt is not tucked inside your lace knickers. Not that that's ever happened to me, yet. I've always wondered, if you ever saw someone on the street with her skirt in her panties, would you go up to her and inform her or just stare and walk away?
I've once seen someone wear tights and a short tshirt (thus it wasn't long enough to cover her behind) in public, in daylight – which means that you could literally see EVERYTHING; and I wasn't sure if I should have gone up to her and let her know that she had (obviously) mistaken her tights for leggings. I mean, there could have been a possibility that she did it intentionally, right? I mean, it's London. There are odd people with 'eclectic' fashion sense around here.
Anywhoo, I digress.
I used to think long skirts were only created for the tall and lanky but I've come to realised that with the right cut, and most importantly, the right attitude, anyone can pull off this look. Take lessons from Mary Kate and Ashley. It works. And they still look amazing without trying too hard. Love, love, love. Now all I need to do is see my tailor. Or get new heels to go with my new purchase.
It has become amazingly evident that the Ipad is the sexiest, if not essential, digital fashion accessory to date with major fashion houses creating its own version of Ipad covers to Vogue creating the first ever Ipad app version of a fashion magazine with its December issue. The application promises the exact same content as its paper counterpart but with additional features such as live interviews and fashion clips from international fashion shows. I can totally picture myself at Starbucks, tall skinny latte in one hand and the other flicking through the digital pages. Talk about chic!
Plus I've been told by the boyfriend how it's a great conversation starter. So far, he's been approached by men and women alike, young and old. I distinctly remember him becoming particularly engrossed with Ipad talk with an elderly woman on the tube. How convenient.
I do find it incredibly bizarre how the actual gadget is often the cheaper part of the package. Owning an Ipad does not necessarily make you fashionable; you gotta get the right skin to go with it first. Chanel's signature quilted case will set you back $1,555 – better start collecting all those loose change in between the cushion covers. And you thought it was going to be that easy.
My dad is in town. It's been a while since I've gotten a Johan lecture. It usually revolves around the same theme –
'Yasmin, what are you planning on doing after you qualify? Are you going to get married? Are you going to continue with tax, be a lawyer?'
I flash him my biggest smile and say, 'I want to work in fashion, daddy!'
*cricket sound*
My dad is not amused. He then tells me that I can do fashion, but that I should go into law first for a couple of years, you know, to gain some connections. With those connections, I would be able to meet someone who will (not may, but will) give me a fashion-based gig. For sure. Or, better yet, I should finish my CTA qualification, go home to Malaysia, become a tax lawyer (oh he is cunning, my father), gain some connections and then go into fashion.
I'm still considering.

I love Disney classics. My all time favourite is The Little Mermaid. What's not to like? Amazing red hair, the cutest little purple shell bikini and Disney's very own version of Justin Bieber and Zac Efron. Kids nowadays are deprived of the idea of prince charming and happily ever after, and it's probably our own fault. We're scarred for life, it seems. Jaded is probably the right word.
Now with modern day cartoons it's rare for cartoonist to even consider including a decent looking human being, let alone prince charming into its story plot.
I indulged my inner child and spent a Saturday afternoon watching Princess Ariel desperately try to get Prince Eric to kiss her. If someone tried that now we'd call her desperate. And slightly dumb. The latter for her bad negotiation skills. See? Jaded.
Despite how I feel though, I would still like my kids to experience that piece of happily ever after. Besides, it worked for Kate Middleton right?

I personally am not a fan of Olivia Palermo – granted my judgment is based on how MTV portraits her on The City and thus, all the bad magnified and all the (if any) good downplayed. Despite that, I doubt that it's all just MTV playing up the bad. Nevertheless I have to admit, that girl can dress. I am madly in love with her Charlotte Olympia black laced booties. Beatrix Ong does one (nymph) which is somewhat similar but without the heavy price tag.
