Next-generation DocuTechs Among New Technology Platforms from Xerox
Friday, January 30, 2004
Press release from the issuing company- Watch for exclusive analysis about this news coming on Monday. NEW YORK--Jan. 29, 2004-- Gaining traction on its growth trajectory, Xerox Corporation today unveiled two breakthrough technology platforms coupled with consulting services that put new power into its core production and office markets. The offerings - including five new printing and imaging systems ranging from $979 to $99,000 - beef up what is already the industry's broadest document product and services portfolio. "These platforms fundamentally change the competitive dynamics of today's markets, delivering ways to help customers make and save money," said Anne Mulcahy, Xerox chairman and chief executive officer. "They present an opportunity to build new businesses, enrich existing ones and ultimately transform the way work flows through enterprises of every kind." According to Mulcahy, who will address customers here today in an event broadcast to 10 locations worldwide, Xerox's new platforms are based on clean-sheet designs that will result in faster product development cycles and lower manufacturing costs. They will also spawn a steady stream of technologically superior, next-generation products over the next several years. The first offerings to result from the new platforms are: * The DocuTech 100 and 120 Copier/Printers, two black-and-white 100 and 120 page-per-minute digital systems that create a new mid-production market segment and set image-quality, productivity, ease-of-use and reliability benchmarks. They bridge the gap between current light-production copier/printers and heavy-duty systems, offering features previously available only on high-end equipment. The platform can produce customized black-and-white brochures, newsletters, manuals and booklets that deliver offset-equivalent print quality without the time and expense. "This next generation of DocuTech is, in many respects, a revolutionary product, bringing a new quality and price-performance level to quick and commercial print shops, in-plant operations, and large offices," said Barb Pellow, Gannett Professor of Printing and Publishing at Rochester Institute of Technology. * The Phaser 8400, the first office color printer derived from a new solid ink technology platform, runs at an unprecedented 24 ppm - in color or black-and-white, all for less than $1,000. IDC research shows the sub-$1,000 segment is the fastest-growing part of the U.S. color page printer market, growing at 212 percent year-over-year in unit shipments*. The Phaser 8400 breaks a key price barrier while setting an industry standard for speed, performance and functionality. "To say that the 8400 is an impressive performer is an understatement," said PC Magazine, which has published an early independent review of the printer. Xerox simultaneously rolled out two other office printers, the Phaser 4500 black-and-white laser printer and the Phaser 7750 color laser printer - each offering unmatched performance and value. In addition, the company showcased enhanced consulting services aimed at streamlining document-intensive processes in offices and in high-volume production environments, such as large commercial print operations that produce direct mail campaigns, statements and insurance policies for Fortune 500 clients. Xerox is working with customers to uncover hidden costs, reduce waste and standardize processes. "Printing is only one part of the equation. Our strategy goes beyond total print management to focus on smart document management throughout the enterprise," said Ursula Burns, president, Xerox Business Group Operations. "We're helping customers look at the interplay of people, process and technology to find real and measurable cost savings." Xerox customers including Continental Airlines, Prudential Financial, AlphaGraphics, and major commercial printers will join Mulcahy and Burns on stage to share first-hand experiences on how they increased productivity while reducing costs. Next-Generation DocuTech The two DocuTech copier/printers represent the first major redesign of the DocuTech line, which launched the transformation of traditional offset printing to digital in 1990. The result of a $400 million development effort that generated more than 300 patents, this black-and-white platform creates a new digital alternative to offset printing. Because these DocuTechs are built for reliability, they are capable of consistently producing as many as 700,000 pages a month. They have 40 percent fewer moving parts than existing digital production printers. A scanning system built around breakthrough Xerox technology scans both sides of a two-sided document at record speed and quality. The DocuTech 100 starts at $77,000 and the higher-speed DocuTech 120 is priced up to $99,000. Order-taking starts Feb. 1 with initial installations beginning in March. New Solid Ink Platform Xerox rolled out its first solid ink platform since the advanced office color printing technology was redesigned in 1998. The Phaser 8400 is the first of a family of color printers built around this new solid ink architecture. Innovations in print head design result in smaller, more uniform ink drop size. Image quality is further enhanced by 300 percent more inkjets that fire 30 million drops per second. The redesign shaved 25 percent off the printer's weight and cut the number of parts from about 600 to a dozen sub-assemblies. Like other solid ink products, the Phaser 8400 uses a considerably lower volume of materials to produce color prints. Thus, it produces 97 percent less waste than a comparable color laser printer over the life of the product. It starts at $999 and is available immediately. Xerox's other new office printers are the Phaser 4500, a 36-ppm black-and-white laser printer, and the Phaser 7750, a 35-ppm color laser printer. With more features and faster print speed than other printers in its class, the Phaser 4500 starts at $979. The Phaser 7750 color laser printer is designed for graphic arts and office professionals who need high-quality color output for day-to-day printing and pre-press proofing. Starting at $5,599, it's 46 percent faster than other color laser printers. Both printers are available immediately. Ramping Up Consulting Services As part of its focus on people-based consulting services, Xerox Global Services is expanding Six Sigma-based service offerings designed to help office and production customers save money and improve productivity. Xerox's new Production Services help clients with high-volume printing needs to deploy the right technology with the right processes. Production Document Assessments help redesign printing facilities into more efficient operations, enabling customers to reduce turnaround times and deliver marketing materials quicker. Xerox is also ramping up office services through the use of Office Document Assessments that help customers save up to 40 percent in document-related costs. These assessments have been strengthened with a standardized methodology to ensure improved focus on document output processes. In addition, Xerox has enhanced Web-based software tools that monitor networked devices and correct potential printer or network problems before they occur. Xerox's expanded portfolio of digital systems and value-added services is generating returns through increased customer demand and share gains in targeted markets, as evidenced by the company's equipment sales growth reported earlier this week. For the fourth quarter 2003, equipment sales grew 11 percent with 60 percent of all fourth-quarter equipment sales due to the 38 new products launched within the past two years.

As it's been pretty much grey, damp and chilly I've also stayed in and tried to keep warm and do some crafting, I am currently making some of my Harris tweed brooches.
They look quite interesting on the back too.
I'm just adding sheep, and embroidering heather onto them but work has stopped today with cold hands!
It's drawing to the end of 2013 and it's another year I am pleased to see the back of. I had hoped for better as 13 is a lucky number for me but it wasn't quite so this year. I've only achieved a couple of the things on my internal to do list, getting my Barista qualification and getting editorial into magazines but there are other irons still in the fire.
Lets hope 2014 is the year when I achieve much more.
I wish everyone a wonderful happy and healthy new year and it will be lovely to 'chat' with you again on the other side! x

Christmas is special, there's no denying that, but you're expected to do something traditional and do not, do fucking, NOT deviate from the standard and not cook turkey in the traditional-in-an-oven-bag manner or there will be consequences, trust me, I know.... one achiote-marinated bird and your christmas cooking license is revoked for... well, at least 10 years and counting.
No, don't touch thanksgiving, Christmas or some of the other classics. You can improve them, maybe a side dish here, a side dish there, but don't mess with the bird or the ham. No, those aren't the type of arenas for experimentation this past weekend we crossed a milestone that warranted such food-fuckery: dried/aged ribeye steaks now plated with some blue-feet chanterelles, asparagus and mashed potatoes.
The meat. This is how it looked when we first bought it. Nice marbling, heaps of connective tissue. These were rubbed with fresh garlic (reasoning for this is that garlic is a good anti-microbial and you know... flavor) and then placed in the fridge on makeshift racks with their styrofoam platters and some meat skewers holding them elevated.
Kimmi Raikkonen approach to choosing wines, I asked the guy at the wine place to recommend something and a 2010 Grand Cru St. Emilion at a decen price is not too shabby. If presses though, I would have gone with a Russian River Valley pinot noir, but ok, french it is.
recipe for classic dinner roles didn't disappoint.
I'll make note of this for the sake of dry-aging at home, the sear is awesome! it's like a layer of fried beef jerky coating a juicy steak. And no, no off-odors were detected. Nor did the steaks develop any sort of mold or spoilage in spite of being fridge-neighbors with our sourdough starter.

The 4th South Asian Cities Summit 2018 The New Urban Agenda is a theme of unprecedented global consultation and dialogue, in which international, local and regional governments have actively participated.
All India Institute of Local Self-Government (AIILSG)
AIILSG is a premier institute working towards strengthening and reinforcing Urban Local Governance. For nearly nine decades it has contributed to the principles and practice of urban governance, education, research and capacity building. In all that AIILSG has done, it has taken care to work with a full range of stakeholders – grassroots organizations, NGOs, ULBs, state and national governments, international organizations, organizations of the UN, research organizations and universities. Among international agencies, it has been working closely with World Bank, UNICEF, UNDP, UN-HABITAT, USAID, UNESCO, DFID, GIZ, CITYNET and others in carrying out various developmental programmes for enhanced urban development and management.
United Cities and Local Governments Asia-Pacific (UCLG ASPAC)
The regional section of UCLG is based in Jakarta, Indonesia. The organisation is the key knowledge management hub on local government issues in the region. UCLG is a worldwide association of local government organisations that dates back to 1913. UCLG is the only local government organization recognised by the United Nations, and nominates 10 out of 20 members of UNACLA, the first advisory body of local authorities affiliated with the UN. The Asia and Pacific region is the biggest of the eight sections in UCLG with linkages to more than 7.000 local governments.
Global Covenant of Mayors
The Global Covenant of Mayors – South Asia is the regional chapter of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, an international alliance of cities and local governments with a shared long-term vision of promoting and supporting voluntary action to combat climate change and move to a low emission, resilient society. Across the world, cities have made voluntary commitments to take significant action on climate change that are in line with, and in many cases more ambitious than, their respective national government baselines. Since its June 2016 merger (the EU Covenant of Mayors + the UN Compact of Mayors), the Global Covenant of Mayors has worked to consolidate these commitments into one cohesive alliance. As of October 2017, more than 7400 cities and towns across the world have made a commitment to the Global Covenant, representing almost 700 Ml total population, and committing for 1,29 GtCO2e tons avoided by 2030.
"We are making plans to redevelop 400 stations as new icons of cities as a station is a starting point of any city and attracts maximum footfalls", said Suresh Prabhu in SAC Summit 2016 (Former Railway Minister)
Minister of Commerce & Industry and Civil Aviation of India
State of affairs in our cities presents a challenge and an opportunity to promote urban development that is sustainable, equitable and a catalyst for economic growth. I am quite hopeful that the South Asian Cities Summit will play a constructive role in achieving this goal.

But we've hit on a method that's working: post-it notes. It was inspired by this clip from YouTube, where the lady has square papers that she writes on.
And I thought, "I can find squares like that!" Mine are sticky on one side, but that works: We write, we scoot them around and make a couple 2-3 letter words, and then I stick them on the fridge. The plan is daily practice.
I've caught the kids looking at them a couple times. And, if nothing else, it increases the environmental exposure to Japanese that the kids are getting. Which is all to the good. It's a long trip to fluency, but baby steps get us closer!

Groundfloor is Fintech. Groundfloor is the first and only real estate lending marketplace open to non-accredited investors. Before Groundfloor, only accredited investors had access to the diversification, risk-adjusted returns & control available via private market investments. Groundfloor opens the door to short-term, high-yield returns backed by real estate. We bring together individual investors looking for short-term lending investments and borrowers looking for short-term financing for their specific real estate projects! Our borrowers get access to more flexible, faster and cheaper capital than a traditional bank or a hard-money lender. Investors get access to short-term, high-yield investments offering returns that average over 10%. We are Dynamic and are making great things happen! We are an authentic, intelligent & transparent company!
GROUNDFLOOR's first offering four years ago was available only to residents of Georgia. In 2014 and 2015, we quietly prototyped the original version of Groundfloor under the innovative Invest Georgia Exemption. After 18 months of regulatory and product development, we became the first issuer with a security like ours to qualify with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Regulation A. For the past two years, we have operated under Tier I of those rules, which allowed us to offer securities with concurrent federal and state-level qualification. Our work with state and federal regulators made our product offering and our company better. Still, two-thirds of the U.S. investor population were left out. We have always been eager to bring GROUNDFLOOR to the rest of the country. With our lending operations ready to supply more than the Tier I limit allowed, we recently decided to request qualification under Tier II, tripling our addressable market and paving the way to start offering our securities to over 200 million individual investors in all 50 U.S. states. With our new Tier II approval, we are ramping up loan volume to satisfy our investor demand. The ideal Processor candidate will be a huge contributor to our business and help to take GROUNDFLOOR to the next level.

Though Kanye West has never been considered a man who holds the reputation of being a peacemaker in the past, it appears that the tide has turned as he now says that he wants wife, Kim Kardashian, and the wife of Jay-Z, Beyoncé, to cuddle up BFF style and improve upon the quality of their relationship. West is known for expressively sharing his strong opinions without censorship and, in recent reports, he finally makes it clear that he is not happy about the cold and forcefully cordial relationship going on between Kim and Beyoncé.
West is reportedly wanting to convince Kardashian to "soften" her stance toward Beyoncé in the hopes that their feud can come to a close. In fact, the distant connection between the two ladies now bothers West so much that he decided he will take the matter in his hands, personally, and work to change how the two interact.
Though assumptions have been made regarding the truth behind their feud and the validity of it, Beyoncé did make it clear prior to the Kimye (Kim and Kanye) nuptials that she was not interested in participating in their wedding because of its potential coverage on Kardashian's show,'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.' Although Beyoncé and Jay-Z did not attend the wedding personally, it is reported that they did, however, provide a $100,000 honeymoon gift for the couple.
In another incident earlier in the year, it was rumored that Beyoncé requested to not sit too closely to Mrs. West when they were all at the MTV video music awards ceremony. But now that West says he wants she and Kardashian to cuddle up and create a more cozy environment within their friendship, Beyoncé may need to reconsider next year's seating arrangements.
Back in June it was reported that Kardashian had finally decided to give up trying to become friends with Beyoncé after several attempts. The TV star did want to gain the affections of the singer and she had high hopes that the musical couple would be in attendance at her Florence wedding last month, however, after the ditched wedding invitation, it appears that Kim has grown tired of "pandering" to the pop music diva. Despite her relationship with Beyoncé, Kardashian has been very supportive of the relationship between West and Jay-Z. The two rappers had been best friends for years and have also been on tour together.
The question becomes is it possible for two women who so directly compete to maintain the attention of the public to be able to ignore the fact that they are in direct competition and, somehow, choose to develop a relationship that can be built upon genuine feelings of trust. Regardless of whether or not it is possible, West says that he wants Beyoncé and Kardashian to cuddle up their relationship and have more friendly encounters with one another. If his past is any indication of what to expect in the present, the girls had better plan to find a way to overcome the issues in their relationship and prepare to deliver to West exactly what he wants.

11.06pm - Tuesday Night: *writing in a notebook because I can't sleep*
I need to be up at 4.10am and I can't effing sleep! When I started this blog (a.k.a. the place where I can talk to myself), I was in the middle of a holiday from work so I got into a really good habit of blogging regularly, but, alas! That has gone out the window of late. *shakes fist at work* I sincerely apologise for this. (who am I apologising to? myself?? good grief.)
So, what have I been up to recently?
- I started to watch 'American Horror Story' on le Netflix. I'm trying not to watch ALL the episodes at once because I know season 5 doesn't start until October.
- I got rewarded for being an 'outstanding human being' (not really, but we all know that I am) at work and one of the prizes to choose from was 2 cinema tickets, so YAY to cinema trip for me and friend. Oh, and on the award thing I got, it said that I was "always smiling", which is pretty darn amazing seeing as I am dead inside.
4.35am - Wednesday Morning: Time for another exciting episode of 'How To Survive Work After 4 Hours Sleep'!! *repeatedly bangs head against wall*
6.07am: When did this turn into a Day in the Life of Me? Heigh-ho. Anyways, I'm dressed, I no longer look like a zombie and I'm semi-functioning. What more do you want from me?!
6.18am: You know in Tom & Jerry when Tom is so very tired that he props his eyes open with toothpicks?
Yeah, that's what I feel doing right now. 2.30pm can't come soon enough IMO.
11.07am: My only break of the day. I guess I can call it brunch but I don't really count a ham & cheese toasty as brunch type food. I need a bacon sarnie or a cooked breakfast. Anyhow, it doesn't matter what it's called because as Winnie the Pooh once said, "it's the tasteful thing to do, be it ten or twelve or two, cos anytime is food time, when you set your clock on Pooh time!" I think my clock is permanently set on Pooh time.
3.15pm: Finally home! It's time for coffee, cake, and Netflix before I even think bloggy thoughts.
5.44pm: I've officially reached the grumpy level of tiredness. Let me get on my high horse for a moment. I have a female acquaintance who is always complaining about being single and that she never meets any nice guys. Well, last weekend she Instagrammed a weekend away with one particular boy and I was like, "Oh how nice. She's finally met someone." (even if the kissing selfie did make me retch.) Now today, she posted something about being single and a friend of hers commented saying "but what about *******" and she replied with "oh, I'm not ready for a relationship." EXCUUUUUSSSSSEEEE MEEEEEEE????!!! What is up with her? Why go away with him on a mini holiday if you were going to decide this less than a week later??
She needs to understand that she is fudging lucky that a) a guy likes her and b) is willing to ask her out because some of us (like me for example), aren't that lucky. I suffer from chronic singleness and a fear that I am going to die alone, so hearing something like this really upsets me. *sighs* *gets off high horse*
6.06pm: To "get on one's high horse" is such a weird idiom.
6.32pm: Note To Self - Never again try to blog when you are extremely tired because you will waffle on and make people think you've gone doo-lally.

|Observing blank, blending stump and pencils at the ready.
"the camera could not replace the human eye"
Jupiter is now well placed in the night sky, it's time to gather my pencils and observing blanks .
For the next few months I will be collecting as many Jovian sketches as I can.
The Schmidt telescope has been on form recently, so as long as the sky gods cooperate I shall have a fair collection of observational drawings by the end of this apparition.
Each drawing brings back memories of standing at the telescope eyepiece, teasing out the faintest planetary detail, and looking for any colour and contrast variations.
With each sketch I am reminded of the varying yearly Pembrokeshire weather patterns. One day it would be T shirt weather, another I was dressed like an eskimo, frantically trying to warm my fingers to allow quick sketches.
One late night I almost stood on a hedgehog that was sitting outside the observatory door.!!
Thankfully my dark adapted eyes spotted him just before I put my foot down.
|Various drawings to be collated
This majestic king of the planets is visually a beautiful sight through the eyepiece.
If you ever have a chance to telescopically view Jupiter grab it..!
|Jupiter & Galilean moons
From an early age I was fascinated by the early drawings of the planets, especially from the end of the 19th Century.
The artist and astronomer Etienne Leopold Trouvelot's pastel drawing of the planet Jupiter, easily stands out as one of the best examples.
|"The planet Jupiter. Observed November 1, 1880, at 9h. 30m. P.M." E.L. Trouvelot, 1881–82.
What a beautiful Great Red Spot, look at those lovely cloud formations on the Equatorial Zone.. the detail is so wonderfully abstract. I love this drawing..!
Fingers crossed for some sketching weather
Clear Jupiter Skies


text: LANSING -- Driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances could haunt a driver for a lifetime. Sen. Jason Allen, R-Traverse City, and Rep. Kevin Elsenheimer, R-Bellaire, are proposing that all convictions for drunken driving be kept on file for the life of the driver. Under current law, a drunken driving conviction is erased from a driver's record after 10 years. Allen and Elsenheimer introduced bills that would revise the record-keeping standards while also making a third offense a felony even if previous violations occurred more than 10 years ago. The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved the bills, which await full Senate consideration. "I certainly support the content and direction of this legislation," said Rep. Rick Shaffer, R-Three Rivers. "Drunk driving is so serious that it's criminal. Only a firm stand from the Legislature and stiff penalties can deter the recurrence of violations." The maximum penalties for a drunken driving felony include a fine of $10,000 and imprisonment for 20 years. Co-sponsors of the Senate bill are Sens. Valde Garcia, R-Howell, and George Thomas, R-Texas Township. Co-sponsors of the House bill include Reps. Barb Vander Veen, R-Allendale, Tim Moore, R-Farwell, and John Stahl, R-North Branch. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Michigan urged quick passage of both bills. "People arrested for drunken driving for the third time have used up all their chances," said MADD Executive Director Homer Smith, of Lansing. "We certainly endorse this effort." If enacted, the changes would take effect on Jan. 1 and would be known as "Heidi's law" -- named for Heidi Steiner, a 16-year-old Bellaire resident who died in a 1991 alcohol-related accident. Steiner was driving home with her brother after a softball game when a drunken man driving a large truck smashed into her car. Steiner suffered head trauma and a broken neck and died a few hours later. Her brother survived. The driver was given a 10-year prison sentence. "People always say that it must be hard for us to talk about Heidi," said Ann Steiner, her mother. "But we love hearing her name. "She was a caring person who loved her community and did a lot of volunteer work. That loving and caring still lives on even after she's gone." Her daughter had been an active member of Students Against Drunk Driving, Ann Steiner said. Steiner and her husband approached Allen and Elsenheimer last October after finding out that the man who killed their daughter was arrested again for drunken driving. The Steiners were livid when they learned that the man would be tried as if it had been his first offense because his previous arrests were more than 10 years earlier. "The first offense, I can understand. Everyone makes mistakes," Steiner said. "But for people who insist on driving under the influence again and again, that's a serious problem. It doesn't matter if their past arrests were five, 10, or 20 years ago." Steiner said the bill is progressing faster than she expected. "There has been tremendous support from legislators to get this bill through," said Steiner. "It can be a bit frustrating to think that it takes a year to pass a law. "But that's the process and this is Heidi's legacy."

Someone asked me once, can I please bring someone for the moral support during the photo shoot. Let me answer that part here in length.
One word answer, YES.
Well, this is no war or some medical surgery where you would want someone for a moral support, but still if you wish to get someone to be available, I just don't mind.
Also, ensure your friend / family / moral support shouldn't create a problem or fuss during the shoot, he / she should refrain giving any advice on how I should be taking the pictures.
Q: Who is an ideal Moral support?
A: I say its your subconscious. Some says, my friend, my mom, I think it's all fine, just ensure they're mute or friendly, and not a pain in my neck.


text: The World Economic Forum, hosted by Egypt this year, was the final stop on Bush's tour [AFP] Bush's visit to Sharm El Sheikh for the gathering of hundreds of world policymakers and business leaders was the final stop on his five-day Middle East trip - seen as a farewell tour - to Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Allies criticised But the president's criticism of Hamas, which has been shunned by Israel and the West as a "terrorist organisation" despite winning Palestinian parliamentary elections in 2006, is likely to stir new controversy. RELATED Palestinian memory cannot be erased Israel 'committing memorycide' Why Bush must recognise the NakbaEgypt, a key US ally, has been negotiating indirect talks between Hamas and other Palestinian groups on one side and Israel on the other. Amani Soliman, Al Jazeera's Middle East editor, said: "For Bush to come out and say this in Egypt ... puts the Egyptians in an uncomfortable situation. "These people are sitting down to talk to the Israelis, albeit through Egypt." Before the US president spoke, Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian leader, had called on Israel to accept peace offers by the various Palestinian factions, stressing that no agreement would be forced on the Palestinians. Bush also told Arab leaders that the "time had come" to reform their political systems. He said: "Too often in the Middle East, politics has consisted of one leader in power and the opposition in jail. "The time has come for nations across the Middle East to abandon these practices, and treat their people with the dignity and respect they deserve." 'Invest in Palestinians' The US president's trip comes eight months before the end of his presidency - the target date Bush set for reaching a peace agreement that would see the creation of a Palestinian state. IN DEPTH Israel and the NakbaInsisting a deal was still possible before he leaves office, Bush said: "A peace agreement is in the Palestinians' interest, it is in Israel's interest, it is in Arab states' interest, and it is in the world's interest." He called for Arab nations to seize the opportunity and "invest aggressively in the Palestinian people". Directing his comments at Palestinian and Israeli leaders, he said: "Palestinians must fight terror and continue to build the institutions of a free and peaceful society. Israel must make tough sacrifices for peace and ease restrictions on Palestinians." SOURCE: Al Jazeera and agencies

Paul Volpe Denies Shaun Deeb Sixth SCOOP Title
On Monday, Shaun Deeb nearly won his sixth Spring Championship of Online Poker title on PokerStars, but was denied by Paul "paulgees81" Volpe. Last year, Deeb stole the show earning four SCOOP titles, all of which were in "High" events. Having won a SCOOP event previously, that brought Deeb's overall count to five.
With the potential of winning his sixth SCOOP event, Deeb made it to heads-up play in Event #4 High $2,100 Badugi, but lost to Volpe, who claimed the title and $34,780. In the same event last year, both players made the final table. In that event, Volpe notched a fifth-place finish for $8,850, and Deeb took seventh for $5,130.
Event #4 High $2,100 Badugi attracted 47 entrants to build a $94,000 prize pool, nearly double that of the $50,000 guarantee, with the top six finishes in the money. It was a tough playing field with notables like Team Online member George "Jorj95" Lind III (18th), Team PokerStars Pro Jose "nachobarbero" Barbero (14th), and Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer (10th) each making deep runs.
After over two hours of play, the final table was set with Deeb as chip leader and Volpe third in chips. With the elimination of "MagicDeal" in eighth and "filfedra" in seventh, the top six saw themselves in the money with blinds increased to 1,000/2,000.
In the elimination hand of Phil "Jackal69" Shaw, which was reported in the PokerStars Blog, Shaw raised from the small blind with only 4,290 chips left behind. Volpe called from the big blind, then Shaw drew one card while Volpe drew two. Shaw bet, Volpe called, and Shaw drew one card while Volpe drew two again. Shaw bet, Volpe raised, and Shaw called all in. Both players drew a single card on the third draw, and Volpe showed the to beat Shaw's . With that, Shaw was eliminated in sixth place collecting $5,170.
Chris "d0r1t0s" McClung was the next to go in fifth place for $7,050. Deeb raised from under the gun, McClung three-bet from the button, and Deeb called. In the first draw, Deeb replaced two cards, and McClung stood pat. McClung bet, and Deeb called. In the second draw, Deeb took one card, and McClung continued to stand pat. Deeb check-raised McClung's bet. McClung reraised, and Deeb called. On the third draw, Deeb stood pat only to find McClung drawing two cards after two rounds of not drawing. Deeb showed for an eight Badugi, and McClung showed for a three-card jack sending him to the rail in fifth place.
A dozen hands later, it was time for "Fresh_oO_D" to end his run leaving home with $9,400 in cash for fourth place. After three draws and betting, "Fresh_oO_D" saw all his chips in the middle with with a Badugi ten while his opponent, "Stroynowski," had a better hand of .
Eliminating a player wasn't enough to keep "Stroynowski" alive, and he was the next to bust after being the short stack between Volpe and Deeb. Play reached the nine-hour mark, and the stakes jumped to 1,400/2,800. In the hand that broke "Stroynowski", Deeb stood pat for the last two draws to show a king-high Badugi with against "Stroynowski," who only had a three-card four with . He was out in third place for $14,100.
Heads-up action began with Volpe as the chip leader with 191,675 chips to Deeb's 43,335. Chips went back and forth and at one time Deeb even took the lead reaching 158,325 chips to Volpe's 76,675, but the lead came back to Volpe who maintained it to the end.
It was 45 minutes into heads-up play when Deeb finally caved and ended his run, finishing as runner-up. Volpe raised to 3,200 on the button and Deeb called with both players drawing two cards. Deeb led with a bet, Volpe raised and Deeb called. Both players drew just one card on the second draw and Deeb check-raised Volpe's bet. On the third draw, both players drew just one card again. Deeb pushed his remaining 650 chips to the middle and Volpe called. Deeb showed a for a three-card 5-2-A and Volpe showed for a better hand with a three-card [3-2-A].
Deeb had a great performance but couldn't obtain his sixth SCOOP win, instead taking home $23,500 for his second-place finish. Volpe was crowned the victor of the $2,100 buy-in Badugi event adding a SCOOP title to his résumé and $34,780 to his bankroll.

Poonch (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], June 24 (ANI): Pakistan on Saturday violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch sector. Pakistan resorted to unprovoked indiscriminate firing from small arms automatics and shelled mortars. Earlier on Thursday also Pakistan violated the ceasefire in the Poonch sector of the Valley. The Indian Army retaliated strongly to the ceasefire in the Khari Karmara areas of the sector. The Pakistan Army, earlier in the week also, had initiated indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics and mortars in the same sector. (ANI)

Sauce hits the ground running
A few days after helping Adelaide to a win over North Melbourne, Sam Jacobs threw his support behind the Kangaroos – the Ardrossan Kangaroos. Crows players had the weekend off following Thursday night's game, but the big man isn't one to put his feet up.
Instead, Sauce jumped at the chance to go home to his beloved Yorke Peninsula and support his local football team. The 202cm ruckman donned the lime green as the runner for Ardrossan's A-Grade clash with the CY Cougars at Maitland.
Unfortunately, Sauce's superb relaying of messages wasn't enough and the Roos went down by 15 goals. Jacobs plans to pull on the boots for Ardrossan once he retires from the AFL - hopefully, a fair few years down the track yet.
West Lakes Whodunit
Brodie Smith fell victim to one of the oldest locker room pranks in the book last week.
The All Australian defender headed into the Club for physio and some weights work on the football department day off last Tuesday.
It was only after Smith got changed after his session and started driving home that he felt an uncomfortable burning sensation, and realised someone had basted his underwear in Deep Heat.
Smith and midfielder Matt Crouch were both quick to point the finger at a mischievous teammate.
"My first phone call went to Rory Atkins, who was at the footy club too," Smith told FIVEaa.
"He strongly denied it. I think 'Tex' (Taylor Walker) would be my next suspect. I reckon it's definitely one of them. I'll find out and they'll get theirs, don't worry."
Atkins continued to deny responsibility, insisting he too had been a victim of the mystery prankster.
"That happened to myself as well, I just didn't put it all over social media!" Atkins said.
"We have a few culprits in mind. I'm not naming names because when we find out, we'll save it for a rainy day and they'll get theirs."
Some might say it's payback for Smithers, who recently teamed up with Rory Laird to 'catch' unsuspecting teammates in a fishing prank.
Attention to all players of @Adelaide_FC ....#deepheat + #undies = # pic.twitter.com/r4PJWax5Q0— Brodie smith (@Brodiesmith33) June 21, 2016
@Brodiesmith33 @Adelaide_FC this has @RoryAtkins21 written all over it— Matt Crouch (@mcrouch2) June 21, 2016
Rorys reunited in song
It started towards the end of last season, but the tradition of the three 'Rorys' together in the team song appears to be here to stay. Rory Sloane, Rory Laird and Rory Atkins first stood side by side in the song after Rat's second game against Gold Coast in Round 17, 2015.
The trio drifted apart in the song the rest of the season and we thought, maybe, the novelty of the Rory treble had worn off. That was until the namesakes came together again following victory over Richmond in Round Three this year. Even when Laird was sidelined by a fractured toe, Sloane and Atkins stuck together in the celebrations. It's now become a talking point among fans on social media, who keep an eye out for the trio after every Crows win.

Nick Xenophon Team for Hindmarsh and former SANFL footballer Daniel Kirk or Crows defender Kyle Cheney?
It's a big week for both men, with Kirk preparing for Election Day and also hoping to qualify for the Rio Paralympics and Cheney getting ready to face former club, Melbourne, at the MCG.

For four young adults from Russia, the Presbyterian Youth Triennium made for quite an introduction to the United States.
Andrey Chekalin, Anatoly Vdovenko, Elena Gumen and Evgenia Guseva arrived in Georgia from Moscow a few days before traveling to Purdue University to attend Triennium, July 20-24.
The group came to the U.S. as part of a partnership between Good News Baptist Church in Moscow and First Presbyterian Church of Columbus, Ga. Started several years ago, this "twinning" relationship allows the churches' members to take turns visiting and working with each other every summer.
Chekalin had never heard of Triennium before, but was excited to check it out.
"Why not?" he said. "We won't be there alone. We'll have people with whom we're familiar."
And although the Russians weren't quite sure what to expect, the huge daily worship services were a big hit. Gumen said she appreciated worshipping with 5,000 others in a big auditorium — a new experience for her.
Vdovenko said he would like to see large gatherings like Triennium in Russia.
For Chekalin, the chance to meet other Christians was a highlight. He and the other Russians were in a small group with dozens of other global partners, who hailed from countries such as Northern Ireland, Portugal and Germany.
"It's the coolest group," Chekalin said. "We're all the same spirit, and it's wonderful. We believe in the same Jesus Christ."
Chekalin noted one big change from his experiences of church in Russia — female pastors. He's not used to seeing women in the pulpit in Russia, but appreciated the sermons from all the pastors at Triennium.
For the Americans hosting the Russians, the visit was a chance to reconnect with a church that has been a close partner for more than 10 years.
On odd years, a group from First-Columbus — typically, two youth, two adults and one pastor — visits Good News church for two weeks. Because the group is small, there's a pretty competitive application process to go on the trip. Once people hear the stories of those who have gone, interest goes up.
For Alanna Word, who made one summer trip, the opportunity to travel and meet other Christians was very appealing.
"What better place than Russia?" she said.
Once there, groups often work at a camp, helping with crafts, working in the kitchen or building facilities.
"We all have things in common," said Carrie Ann Sharitt, who also made a trip to Russia one summer to work at the camp.

The host, Stuart MacLean, tells heart warming - and usually funny - short stories about his two protagonists's (Dave and Morley) family life and related (mis)adventures. Dave owns and operates a record store called the Viny Cafe, and Maclean interweaves his stories with a variety of music, from olden goldies to jazzy creations to seasonal favorites.
MacLean recounts his stories in such a way that you come to know his characters as if they were real people - the mark of a great storyteller. One of his classic stories is 'Dave cooks a turkey', which can be found on the 'Christmas Concert' CD. Lots of laughs.

The house is located in one of the best streets in Frenchs Forest. It is quiet and bright with the Sun streaming into the house from morning till afternoon in winter. The house has large windows around the house taking in the leafy view around the house. There's also a sunny veranda where you can have your breakfast outside or read a book while taking in the tranquil and green surrounding view of the area. Gas heating is available in winter.
The kitchen and bathroom have just been updated. The owners need to use the storage area underneath the house but renting out the whole house upstairs which has three good sized bedrooms. Main bedroom can have a king sized bed, the medium one can have a queen size bed and the smallest one can have a double bed.
The rent is kept low (with all bills included) to take into consideration that the owners will keep the storage area downstairs. The downstairs and upstairs are quite separate (no internal access so your privacy is assured). The previous people living there had no need to go downstairs.
The transport to and from the city and major shopping malls are very convenient and frequent. Walk 350 meters to the bus stop to city.
A very safe neighborhood with fantastic neighbours.
We are the owners renting out the whole house individually. If you want to take up the whole house upstairs as a family or find your own roomates, we are happy to rent out that way as well.
We are just listing our house now so there are no tenants yet. The house is available this weekend when the installation of the new kitchen will be complete. However you are welcome to inspect the house/room any time from now.

Last night, once again, was of the somewhat discomforted variety, regardless of a pre-emptive dose of amitriptyline and tramadol. It was rather difficult to clamp down on the moans & cusses that seemingly forced their way out of my mouth; my beloved responded by cuddling me tight (until she was overwhelmed by sleep) but then, the cuddles were followed by a gentle patter of feet, approaching the bed, as our beautiful hound came to add further comfort, stretching his forepaws across my upper arms and his head across my shoulder, and onto my neck as he lay along the edge of the bed.
You may well think that Piper, our beagle–podenco hybrid hound, was very clever to hear, and respond quite swiftly to, my moans upstairs, when his bed is in a room, behind a closed door, downstairs. Up until a few short weeks ago he did indeed sleep downstairs, usually on a sofa in preference to his quite de-luxe bed. Matters changed when Helen had a bad coughing fit, at night, to which the solitary Piper responded by whining, barking and finally banging against the living room door.
After this sustained barrage of sound we succumbed to his whiles / concern and allowed him to run upstairs. That night he settled himself on the duvet, creating his own cradle in a ridge between the recumbent bodies of Helen and myself.
After a couple more evenings he had decided that he needed to keep an eye on us, sneaking through the living room door in the time it took to switch off a light. He soon decided that he didn't like being alone and commandeered the bedroom armchair, equipped with an old blanket and towel, as his customary nocturnal roost.
Come morning, he pays a visit to our bed, as if to check we're alright and still there. If he outstays the welcome of his inspection routine, he can generally be persuaded to go back into HIS chair!

Apparently, Dare to Go Zero will feature eight area families competing against one another to see who can reduce their garbage output the most drastically. Finally, a reality show you can feel good about! Hopefully the concept will go viral and other cities will create their own versions of the competition.
The episodes will be available via the City's YouTube channel starting at the beginning of May.

About Bhubaneshwar
The 'Temple City' of the country and one of the angles of the religious Golden Triangle known as 'Swarna Tribhuja' (the other two being Puri and Konark), Bhubaneshwar is one of the most sought after destinations of Eastern India. Furnishing as the state capital of Orissa and the center of all religious, cultural and economic activities of the region, Bhubaneshwar happens to be the largest city of the Odisha Province. The term 'Bhubaneshwar' literary means, 'the Lord of the Universe'. Boasting of its elongated history of more than 2000 years, Bhubaneshwar has been known by several appellations over the ages. They being; 'Toshali', 'Kalinga Nagari', 'Nagar Kalinga', 'Ekamra Kanan', 'Ekamra Kshetra' and 'Mandira Malini Nagari'.
Celebrated for its rich architectural and cultural endowment depicted through the large spectrum of over 600 temples revealing the typical Kalinga style of architecture and jillions of lofty sculptures singing the sagas of the artistic ingenuity of bygone era, Bhubaneshwar is truly a most precious jewel in the casket of Orissa. Following the suit of the planned cities of the country including Chandigarh and Jamshedpur, the contemporary Bhubaneshwar city was designed by Otto Königsberger; a prolific German architect in the year 1946. One of the cardinal planned cities of India, Bhubaneshwar has also listed itself amongst the cleanest and the greenest civics of the nation. Categorized as the 2nd tier city, Bhubaneshwar, a booming IT and industrial hub is one of the fastest developing metropolitans of India.
A prominent pilgrim destination of Hindus, Buddhists and Jains, Bhubaneshwar is particularly acclaimed for its 10th century Lingaraja Temple, the twin cave groups of Kandagiri and Udayagiri, the inscriptions of Ashoka and an ancient Jain Monastery dated back to 2nd century BC. Bhubaneshwar is the very site of the great battle of Kalinga when the invincible Emperor Ashoka was overwhelmed by the sight of blood and leaving the path of warfare and massacre, he turned to Buddhism.
History Of Bhubaneshwar
The chronicled history of Bhubaneshwar can be divided into two categories – Erstwhile Bhubaneshwar and Modern Bhubaneshwar. The ancient history of Bhubaneshwar is dated back to more than 2000 years while the concurrent testimony of Bhubaneshwar is just as old as the Independence.
The earliest mention of the name of Bhubaneshwar can be found in the records of the ignominious war of Kalinga fought near Dhauli (now Southern Bhubaneshwar) in 3rd century BCE when Bhubaneshwar furnished as the antiquated capital of Kalinga Empire. The edicts of the mighty Mauryan emperor, Ashoka dating 272 BC to 236 BC and a number of Buddhist and Jain shrines constructed around the same period even complement the accounts of the human habitation at Bhubaneshwar during that era. Later, the greatest emperor of Kalinga; Monarch Kharavela of Chedi Dynasty restored the lost glory of Kalinga and established his capital at Sisupalgarh (presently the outskirts of Bhubaneshwar). The Hathigumpha Inscriptions created by Kharavela and found in Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves give a detailed account of his governance which is estimated to be dating back to 2nd or 1st century BCE.
The Anno Domini history of Bhubaneshwar is mainly characterized with the building of innumerable temples which renders the city its nickname of 'the Temple City'. These temples, apart from portraying the architectonic dexterity of yesteryears also illustrate the political history of Bhubaneshwar. Kalinga Kings ruled Orissa and other surrounding regions till 11th century AD and almost all the temples of Bhubaneshwar were set up between 8th and 12th century AD. It is believed that the headquarters of Orissa were shifted from Bhubaneshwar to Cuttack in 12th century which remained so till the Independence of India. 15th century Bhubaneshwar was under the governance of Mughals.
The modern history of Bhubaneshwar marks its onset with the province being taken over by British East India Company in 1936 AD. During this time, Cuttack was the capital of the Bhubaneshwar Province. After Independence when Orissa was made one of the states of India, Bhubaneshwar was declared a part of it and the capital was shifted from Cuttack to Bhubaneshwar. An expert German architect named Otto Königsberger was assigned the responsibility of designing the plan of the modern Bhubaneshwar city who brilliantly fulfilled the job and Bhubaneshwar became one of the earliest planned cities of the country. The well laid down roads, gardens and properly segmented sectors of the city gave it a perfect demeanor of a modern metropolitan. On 13th April 1948 Bhubaneshwar was officially declared the capital of the Orissa state. Today, the rapidly developing city of Bhubaneshwar has hardly stuck to the plans of Königsberger and it has wildly expanded in every possible direction.
Today, the ancient history of Bhubaneshwar is preserved in the form of archaeological relics by The State Museum of Bhubaneshwar and the Tribal Research Institute Museum.

Microsoft Reference Source is a Good Friend
With recent versions of .Net, Microsoft has provided reference source to allow you to navigate and debug issues with the .Net framework. The reference source website is a great tool to have in your back pocket when researching how something in the .Net framework works. You can download a full solution (minus some resource files) for use in Visual Studio or you can link directly to a line of code when sending emails or instant messages to colleagues.
Recently I was working with the Managed AddIn Framework, and I was trying to determine how to load settings for an AddIn. I did some reading and really didn't find much on the subject. I tried creating a
.config file for the AddIn and magically it was able to load the settings from there. I don't like magic in my code, so I wanted to know how the settings were being loaded. I downloaded the reference source and was able to dig into the AddInActivator class and find the calls into the AddInServer. Inside that code, I found that they explicitly load the configuration file based on the AddIn assmebly name:
AppDomain domain;
AppDomainSetup setup = new AppDomainSetup();
setup.ApplicationBase = Path.GetDirectoryName(token._addin.Location);
setup.ConfigurationFile = token._addin.Location + ".config";
I then took this information and was able to build up a nice email to my colleagues with links directly to the lines of code that we needed to understand to know how the MAF framework loaded configuration files.
I encourage every .Net developer to get a copy of the reference source on your machine and leverage it when you need to get a better understanding of how the .Net framework works.

W. R. Grace & Co. announced Wednesday that it earned $29.7 million in the fourth quarter, a swing from a $184.3 million loss in the same period a year earlier.
Both quarters included charges related to the Columbia-based chemical maker's asbestos-related liability and bankruptcy reorganiztion, which it emerged from on Monday.
On a per share basis, Grace earned 38 cents in the October-to-December period, compared to a loss of $2.44 a year earlier.
For the full year, Grace made $256.1 million, or $3.30 per share, up from $40 million, or 52 cents a share for 2012. Sales slipped 3 percent to $3.06 billion in 2013, partly as a result of a decline in surcharges for rare earth materials used in catalysts and slightly lower sales volume.
Grace recorded about $155 million in asbestos and bankruptcy-related expenses, driven largely by a $129 million interest rate settlement, in 2013's fourth quarter, down from about $369 million a year earlier.
Grace shares rose 85 cents in Wednesday trading to close at $96.87 each.
Grace employs about 1,100 people in Maryland between its headquarters and a research facility in Columbia and a large plant in Curtis Bay.

Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark isn't banking on the idea of completely removing rail lines from the city – at least, not without looking at other ways to spare change.
"I've never heard any (estimate) less than $1 billion – some said $2 billion – to move those lines out of town," Clark said on The Brent Loucks Show Tuesday.
In July, former mayor Don Atchison dropped a hint that local businesses were looking into doing something about the lines – considering everything from rail line relocation to land development.
Last week, the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) released results of a study finding the local economy loses $2.5 million of Gross Domestic Product per year as a result of traffic delays at nine major rail crossings in the city.
"That's the challenge that we're in. We've identified the issues of safety and traffic flow in some of our intersections in our city," Clark noted.
In a report submitted to council Monday, two intersections were highlighted as the most disruptive: 22nd Street and Avenue F, and Idylwyld Drive and 25th Street.
Clark said building infrastructure around the lines might be a faster – and cheaper – solution.
"It'll take forever for us to actually move the lines out of town, but if we could do something with an overpass – that would be tasteful and work there, that would cost much less money – let's not spend all our time studying, evaluating and talking about a billion-dollar solution."
The mayor said the issue also impacts future public transportation options: running a bus rapid transit line down 22nd Street is simply ineffective when there's a rail crossing.
"It creates a lot of unpredictability in the transit routes and timing," he said.
"It's not an easy thing putting an overpass or underpass in, but if we can do it – and it takes less time – I think we need to explore it seriously."
Clark said there will be an answer within the year as to what the options are moving forward, based on the first phase of a feasibility study into rail line solutions.
A city report in March estimated the cost of that study at $400,000.

And Picking The Bones
new internationalist
issue 167 - January 1987
Chewing the fat
Does imperialism belong in the graveyard of history
'I don't think imperialism affects Bolivia at all, or other countries either, for that matter. Each country is autonomous. Here, it's the Bolivian government which decides what happens.'
Maria Ester Quiroga, secretary, 26 years old.
'There's direct intervention from the imperialist countries in Bolivia. You can see this from the commercial propaganda and from the TV and radio programmes. They have nothing to do with the Bolivian people, they won't reflect our world.'
Franklin Quisbert, accountant, 30 years old.
'Bolivia has all different kinds of minerals, but we don't have the machinery to get them out. The imperialist countries are interested in Bolivia because they want the gold and silver we're sitting on and they know how to exploit them. What can we do? We just do what we're told like sheep.'
Domiga Calle, housewife and miner's widow, 50 years old.
'Lots of our problems come from outside the country. Take the foreign debt - it's a pressure which we suffer daily. We'd be better off not having children, because each one is born already owing a thousand dollars.'
Gregoria Callisaya, market seller, 40 years old
'For me, imperialism is shown in our university courses. Most of the text books are in English and many of us don't know the language well enough to use them. Also, there's a lot of technological information we don't have access to. We're just being trained to service equipment which is brought here from the US.'
Teodosio Mamani, student of electronic engineering, 23 years old.
'You can't feed your family, you're a prisoner in your own country. Because you're a squatter, you have no land of your own and no money to buy any - so hat independence do you have? In that way, things haven't changed. But other parts of the country are different.'
Nicholas Diawara, journalist, 40 years old.
'In some ways, yes, our country is still colonized. Like now, if you're not from a certain tribe, you won't get a job. These days it's good to be a Kikuyu. And this is just like colonialism. It's discrimination because of what you are, your tribe or colour.'
Sarah Paulme, unemployed, 19 years old.
'This country's in the hands of the nationals now, so it's not colonized. But the foreigners still have a lot of influence on the government. This influence works through aid: we have to toe the line. Also this country is not as democratic as it should be, it's more like a dictatorship. You can't just say what you think or you'll be inside. The foreigners aren't always there to be seen; but they are there in the background.'
Wanjiku Kariuki, secretary, 43 years old.
'Despite political independence, colonial trends and imperialistic tendencies continue to rule the roost in this country. The educational system, an ugly legacy of British administration, needs to be completely reorganised to give the country a new direction.'
Prabha Ras, housewife, 28 years old.
'I am confused. I don't know if the country is really free. The educated elite and political leaders revere the nineteenth century colonial laws made by the British administrators.'
Pulla Satish, sales executive, 30 years old.
'I am quite bitter that the present political leadership of the country, though superficially steeped in British colonial tradition, is utterly devoid of the discipline, honesty, commitment and hardworking spirit which belonged to the old British administration.'
Kuttumba Vittal, an industrialist, 58 years old.
'I am not sure whether India has attained independence in its true sense. The ruling class is still obsessed with colonial paraphernalia.'
Uttar Bhat, retired Government employee, 60 years old.
'It is untrue to say that the country is still colonised. For colonialism would not allow political freedom, social independence and the secular spirit now found in India.'
Kalaben Jayanayagi, a stenographer, 48 years old.
'For me, imperialism means not being able to eat the pineapples and bananas grown in your land because they're too expensive. It's living in the slum areas while a few yards away from you is a big posh well guarded house.'
Clara Baz, nurse, 22 years old.
'US interests in my country mean that we have to run away from police truncheons if we go on demonstrations. Fighting to take control means finding a safe place to think of another action to take on the following day.'
Gabriela Torcelino, factory worker, 38 years old.
'There are over 90,000 South African troops in Namibia. There is at least one soldier for every two Namibians. South Africa's imperialism is keeping us hostage in our own country.'
Mack Hengari, Namibian Student Leader, 21 years old.
The comments were collected with the help of Susanna Rance, Reba Linden and Radhakrishna Rao.
