A Detroit-area historical group is protesting a mayor's decision to stop it from sending out the latest issue of its publication, which delves into Ford Motor Co. founder Henry Ford's anti-Semitism.
Officials with the Dearborn Historical Commission say the latest edition of The Dearborn Historian, a city-financed quarterly journal, should be sent to its roughly 200 subscribers and that Mayor Jack O'Reilly should reverse his decision to cut ties with longtime Detroit journalist Bill McGraw, who wrote the Ford piece.
The mayor is censoring a history journal???
No, that's not the reason the mayor of Dearborn quashed the article.
Dearborn now has one of largest communities of Arabs outside of the Middle East.
He is catering to his Arab voter, who (he believes) would be upset at an article about antisemitism.
Under Ford, the Independent became notorious for its unprecedented attacks on Jews. But Ford's anti-Semitism traveled far beyond the Dearborn borders. Showing the marketing expertise that had catapulted Ford Motor into one of the world's most famous brands, Henry Ford's lieutenants vastly widened the reach of his attacks by packaging the paper's anti-Semitic content into four books. Experts say "The International Jew," distributed across Europe and North America during the rise of fascism in the 1920s and '30s, influenced some of the future rulers of Nazi Germany. | {

In February, the company which operates a free-to-play gaming empire with tens of million of users, was valued at $4 billion after a Series G funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz . The company has raised more than $335 million in venture capital funding according to Crunchbase.
The company has not detailed the number of shares in plans to offer and furthermore notes in standard legalese that their timely debut is "subject to market and other conditions." | {

Use of social media has exploded over the last decade. It seems we have gone from a time when social media was limited to an organized grouping of college students' selfies to now, when everyone—and I mean everyone—has a Facebook page or an Instagram account. Now when you log onto your Facebook page, your "newsfeed" is filled with Aunt Betsy's latest cat photos and a co-worker's most recent political rant. Social media can be a great thing (who doesn't like a good cat photo?), it allows people to share their experiences and stay in touch with long-distance friends and relatives in a way that used to be impossible. So, why does the use of social media matter in the context of your injury claim? Well, it could actually matter a lot. In my experience, nothing can tank a claim faster than an ill-timed and unfortunately worded Facebook post.
More and more, insurance companies are turning to social media, hoping to find a photo or a "status update" that will give them useful information to defend against your Minnesota workers' compensation, PERA disability or personal injury claims. It is the job of the attorney working for the insurance company to poke holes in your case. Social media can be a gold mine. While it might be fun to share photos from your recent Mediterranean cruise with your Facebook friends or a status update about your weekend jet skiing at the lake, this may ultimately do you more harm than good. It can be particularly problematic in cases where you have strict work restrictions, limiting your activities both at work and in your private life. For example, if you were in a motor vehicle collision and you are seeking compensation for your pain and limited mobility, it would be problematic to post a photo of you hiking with a group of friends. Seemingly innocuous photos such as these can be extremely detrimental in the hands of defense attorneys, who will use them to minimize your injuries and try to make you look like a malingerer.
Due to this common practice, use Facebook, Instagram, and even Snapchat cautiously. I always tell my clients to use common sense with regard to the content they post during the pendency of their claims. I ask clients not to post about their accident, injuries or the status of their claims. All of these things can easily be used against them in a deposition or at hearing. If my clients are not able to quit social media "cold turkey," I ask that they take a serious look at each and every post before they push "send," asking themselves whether they would be comfortable explaining the contents of the post to opposing counsel, or even a judge. If my client would not be comfortable explaining the post to these people, they have no business posting it online—even if the client believes their privacy settings are tight.
Contact Meuser Law Office, P.A. for a free, no-obligation case evaluation and consultation. The knowledgeable attorneys at Meuser Law Office, P.A. take the time with each client to help determine which benefits under the Minnesota Workers' Compensation Act you are entitled as well as discuss PERA Duty Disability benefits, Healthcare Continuation Benefits under Minnesota Statute §299A.465 and personal injury claims.

Why Blue Flag Beaches are SO Important to the environment….
Blue Flag beaches act as a standard and help encourage other less clean and tidy councils to move forward and adopt the same high standards, which in affect promote marine and seabird life rather than suffocate it.
To be awarded a Blue Flag the Council must spend a minimum of 400 hours a week removing rubbish from the sand and have adequately available waste bins that offer recycling. This is beneficial not just for your walk along the beach, but for countering the littering due to over-flowing waste bins, thereby lessening the chances of the remains of 'your day at the beach' poisoning the local sea and animal life.
A Blue Flag beach must have public toilet facilities and a free water supply nearby which ensures that you do not have to 'buy' something in order to go to the loo or have a quick drink of water.
Lastly and most importantly for those of you that love dipping your toes in the sea, paddling or swimming and don't fancy the idea of the water being infused with how can we put this nicely…human poo – Blue Flag beaches guarantee that the local water contains no more than 500 total coliforms (bacteria) per 100 ml of water and no more than 100 faecal coliforms (human sewage) per 100 ml of water. Imagine too how that translates into how much better the local seafood and fish taste without in affect your plastic or personal rubbish! | {

The Poets of Pretoria
By Sanet Oberholzer • 2 years ago
They say curiosity kills the cat. I, however, have always tended to disagree and found myself one Thursday night, armed with a bottle of wine, dragging two of my friends out to an Open Mic poetry evening in the city of Pretoria. Held at one of my favourite venues serving up arguably the best pizza in the city, I wasn't sure what to expect. Despite my tendency to be slightly late usually, I managed to arrive on time, only to discover – to my dismay – that all the seats had been taken up on a day I opted for the stylish, not comfortable, option in footwear. Nonetheless, we had a great night of listening to poets and spoken word artists share their craft, of snapping fingers and entering a different world with each poem. I found myself marking 'attend' to more and more events on Facebook. I had – it seemed – after more than five years living in this city, discovered an almost hidden world of poetry in Pretoria.

As is life, I met new people through these events and discovered that people I already knew were involved in the circles of poetry. I started asking questions and showing interest and, naturally, found someone I could talk to about all of this: Lebogang Lebese. I had met Lebo in a completely different context and had no idea of his involvement in poetry and spoken word. Without meaning to sound redundant, I had no idea really what to expect when I met up with him but I certainly did not expect to have the interview/conversation we had. Founder of Soul Ink – a poetry company that started in 2014 – Lebo shared with me the deep and amazing insights of what poetry and spoken word is in Pretoria currently, the potential for healing it has and the general beauty it encapsulates.
Whereas the poetry scene in Pretoria is currently experiencing a boom like never before, Lebo started Soul Ink when he went to university in 2014. For a lack of platforms on campus to share your poetry and meet like-minded people, he took the DIY approach and formed his own poetry group: "I wanted to share my poetry and I was sure there were other people who felt the same way and so we started Soul Ink. When it started there was an exponential growth because for a while we were the only ones doing active events. I'd like to say there's been growth consistently but there's also been times where it just tapers off because I'm not investing so much into its growth. But this year has seen us grow the most because I've actually had more time to actively pursue it after I decided to register Soul Ink as a company."

This company, he explains, is run by a whole team because his thing is writing and he claims he's not good enough at enough things in life to run a whole company. Soul Ink also collaborates with other poetry companies such as Black Suburbia, Poetoria and Blurred Lines for events such as Say Something held at the end of August. These partners hosted a poetry slam and invited two of the big names in the poetry scene, Xabiso Vili and Modise Sekgothe, to hold an "exhibition" of their poems. As Lebo explains, "that's us all coming together going hey, we really like this poetry scene in Pretoria. We are very community-driven. A lot of projects that happen in Pretoria are very collaborative.
I was unaware that Soul Ink had been registered as a company – it's not something I'd heard of before: a poetry collective turning into a company. What I found intriguing is the reason behind it and the vision Lebo has for the company. I wanted to know if it has developed into something more.
Lebo: "Most definitely, otherwise I don't think you can do the same thing so long. I've always been very interested in how art and the process of creation of art can foster healing. I think we're a very messed up society as South Africans – there are pains that run deep and I think art offers a way that is accessible to a multitude of people without having to fork over a lot of money. I think art, like spoken word, is quite rooted in a lot of our culture. There's a very big link between what you say and your spirit. There's even a saying that when you speak you wash people with your spirit. So with all of those things hanging in the back of my head I finally decided that no one has captured the market of using art as education, as a therapeutic tool and as a healing tool quite yet and we're in a society that needs all the help we can get in terms of education for as many people as possible – a society that breeds healing, that understands, that doesn't judge, that doesn't prescribe for you how to heal."

"My vision for Soul Ink is to eventually become a company that partners up with governmental institutions and can be found in high schools running programs that allows children to let out their voice, to actually experiment with creating art." He explained how he would like to become involved in initiatives that help kids understand things like Maths through the use of story-telling and using contemporary African poets and poetry, not Shakespeare's sonnets:
"I realised this is what turned a lot of people off from poetry – even in varsity. I would say I'm doing poetry and people will be like "Eh – Shakespeare, no thank you, I'm black" and I'm like no, come through, we're talking about relevant stuff. There will be Fees Must Fall poets, there's the system must go down poets, there's patriarchy must fall, there's poetry about violence, about lived experiences, about love. I think that culture is finally catching on and it's in no small part thanks to the Fees Must Fall movement." As he puts it, people have been encouraged to find different avenues of self-expression.
When I asked Lebo if he thinks poetry is a hip thing now, his reply was:

"Yeah, but I think it goes beyond that. I think it's the whole woke experience, the intellectual experience like oh, they drink wine and they snap at poetry. But in the same breath it connects with people because we're telling our stories. I think when you stick close to the truth art just becomes good because you're sharing so much of your own truth. When you can move people, that's the biggest thing…the most interesting part of art is where you can actually be like "I had an honest conversation with this person." You have three to five minutes on stage to put together a message, to put together a whole story of lived experience that is either your own or someone else's. In that timeframe the audience wants something that will take them on a journey. And I think that's why I love it. It's compact but in those three to five minutes you can go through so much, so many emotions. There are people you leave crying and they don't even know why they're crying.
Billy – 2rd Prize winner at Say Something Poetry Slam, credit Thembalani Moyo
When Soul Ink holds slams they offer cash prizes to the winners and for this reason artists turn up because they know that their work is valued and they will be thanked for being good at what they're doing. "We're still in the phase of building an industry where people have to understand that I take spoken word as seriously as a job. I take it seriously in terms of when I have bills to pay. There are so many people willing to give their stuff out for free. I think you have to believe in your artwork, you have to believe in your craft, that you'd be willing to pay for this and actively target your market". Lebo explained that it's like people not expecting a painter to hand out his paintings for free. For Soul Ink and the other poets of Pretoria, this is part of the dream: not only being recognised for your craft and your talent but actually being able to make a living off of it. That said, next time you come across a poetry event in the city, make the effort to go and, if need be, pay that small fee. You never know what waits to be discovered.

Astana riders express confidence in Vinokourov despite sponsorship delay
By Barry Ryan and Patrick Fletcher 24 February 2018
Riders at Abu Dhabi and Omloop confirm their salaries have been paid in 2018

Alexandre Vinokourov's public utterances over the years have typically been limited to a few, carefully-chosen words, and it can be assumed that every syllable of his comments on the delayed delivery of government funding to Astana Pro Team was given considerable forethought.
Astana move will provide more opportunities, says Cort
Lutsenko climbs into Tour of Oman race lead
In an otherwise anodyne interview with the Kazakhstani publication Vesti.kz, Vinokourov took the opportunity to complain that the Astana team had not yet received funding from its government sponsors in 2018, adding that the situation was "critical" and that the team's future was under threat.
The comments, published on Friday evening in Kazakhstan, made headlines across Europe by Saturday morning, not least because of the alarming suggestion that riders and staff were not being paid their salaries. Within the Astana camp, however, Vinokourov's declarations did not appear to have given cause for immediate alarm.
Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Tour, Dario Cataldo confirmed that he and his fellow riders had all been paid their salaries thus far in 2018. The Italian, now in his fourth year at Astana, added that he had full confidence that Vinokourov would eventually succeed in securing all of the promised funding from the team's Kazakhstani backers.
"We've been paid as normal this year, like always," Cataldo told Cyclingnews. "We don't know a lot about this matter either, but there's a lot of faith in Vinokourov. We know that he's working 100 per cent on this. In the past, he's succeeded every time he's needed to get funding for the team, so we're very confident that he'll do the same again.
"If Vino has served this notice to seek more funding, then it's something that he is doing as a precaution. He's not someone who will work at the last minute when funds have already expired, he is definitely working ahead of time to ensure we have the budget to continue. He knows what he's doing and he's definitely doing everything he can for the team before any difficulty arises."
Astana directeur sportif Alexandre Shefer was a contemporary of Vinokourov in the professional peloton and has been on the staff of the team since 2007. He suggested that his fellow Kazakhstani's statement was a means of trying to loosen the purse strings at a governmental level.
Astana Pro Team is named for Kazakhstan's capital city, and the team's sponsorship is provided by Samruk-Kazyna, Kazakhstan's sovereign wealth fund, which owns a coalition of state-owned companies.
"We're all tranquilli. I think it will be resolved as soon as possible," Shefer said in Abu Dhabi. "We've been through this situation in other years, where the money has been a little bit late. Vino has assured me that they will resolve the problem."
During Lance Armstrong's brief stint at Astana in 2009 - which coincided with the final part of Vinokourov's two-year doping ban - riders protested at unpaid salaries by wearing jerseys at the Giro d'Italia that had the names of the team's Kazakhstani sponsors faded out. After the UCI threatened to withdraw Astana's ProTour licence, the issue was resolved in time for that year's Tour de France. "That was a different thing, it's got nothing to do with this situation," Shefer insisted.
In 2014, Astana's WorldTour licence was again under threat, following a spate of positive doping tests, which led to the disbandment of the associated Continental team. The state backing from Kazakhstan remained in place, however, and the team won Grand Tours through the since-departed Fabio Aru and Vincenzo Nibali in the two seasons that followed.
The reaction from Opening Weekend
Over in Belgium, the team's Classics squad arrived in Gent on Saturday morning for the start of Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. The riders, wrapping up against the freezing conditions, confirmed that they'd been informed of the situation on Friday via an email from the team's management. The universal message, however, was that the focus was squarely on the race at hand.
"I don't have much news, I'm just trying to focus on the race. Honestly, I don't know what's going on but I'm not worried – it will be fine, I'm sure," Michael Valgren, who would eventually go on to win the race, told Cyclingnews.
"Yesterday we had an email, it's like no worries about it, everything is good, so I'm just trying to focus on the race and do what's best."
Directeur sportif Lars Michaelsen added: "I'm here for the race, it's out of my reach. We're focusing on the race and whatever is going on behind the scenes, we leave aside."
Astana's press officer at the race, Sven Jonker, confirmed most details in the Vesti story, but insisted that all riders and staff have been, and continue to be, paid. Valgren and Michaelsen confirmed that, too.
"Everyone has been paid in the last months. They are paying the salaries with the savings but the savings aren't going to last the whole year," said Jonker.
"There is some delay in the funds. I don't know the exact details of what's really going on behind the scenes, only that there is a delay and the management is confident it'll be sorted out as soon as possible."
On Saturday afternoon, Astana Pro Team issued a short and carefully-worded statement of its own, confirming the substance of what its general manager Vinokourov had said the previous evening.
"The team is aware of the temporary problems, which results in some delay of payments from the team's main sponsor," read the Astana statement. "We are hoping for a solution in the near future so the team can continue in the way it started this 2018 season. We are calm, confident and continue to work towards our goals."
Indeed, while Vinokourov navigates the corridors of power in Kazakhstan in a bid to secure the team's future, Astana have enjoyed a strikingly successful start to the 2018 season on the road, despite losing Fabio Aru to UAE Team Emirates.
Alexey Lutsenko won the overall standings at the Tour of Oman after placing second to teammate Miguel Angel Lopez on Green Mountain, while Magnus Cort also scored a stage win earlier in the race. Moreno Moser won the Trofeo Laigueglia, while Luis Leon Sanchez claimed the Vuelta a Murcia and Valgren won Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
Cataldo insisted, however, that the team's blistering start to 2018 was not a reaction to any difficulties in securing sponsorship from Kazakhstan.
"There's no link between the two things," Cataldo said. "In other years we were very concentrated on the Grand Tours and prepared very specifically for them, which meant that we started out in a slower way. This time, we've started the season differently and approached the first races of the season very aggressively." | {

Objective The role of serotonin (5-HT) in human aggression has been the subject of a large number of studies, mostly with adults. Meta-analyses indicate a small but significant inverse relationship between central nervous 5-HT availability and aggression, but genetically informed studies suggest two pathways: one to reactive aggression and the other to proactive aggression. Method We conducted a systemic review on central nervous 5-HT function in children and adolescents, with attention to the function of aggression. Results In total, 675 articles were screened for relevance, with 45 reviewed. These included blood assays (e.g. plasma, 5-HIAA; platelet 5-HTR2A), epigenetic studies, retrospective PET studies and 5-HT challenge paradigms (e.g. tryptophan depletion). Overall, findings were mixed, with support both for negative and for positive associations of central nervous 5-HT function with aggression in children and adolescents. Conclusion We propose factors that may be blurring the picture, including problems in the conceptualization and measurement of aggression in young people, the lack of prospective designs and the bias towards clinical samples of boys. Research needs to account for variance in the both motivation for and implementation of aggression, and look to the behavioural economics literature to consider the roles of reward, vengeance and self-control more clearly.

One of the first things you need to learn is what exactly spinal stenosis entails. Basically, certain things can cause the spinal column to narrow, placing pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This narrowing can occur over time with age, from osteoarthritis, or even if the spine and back is injured.
Most people are surprised to learn how painful this narrowing can be. Not only does it cause discomfort, but it can also affect mobility, preventing you from walking, bending, and completing normal everyday activities.
Because the narrowing compresses the nerves, many patients with spinal stenosis experience numbness, weakness, and tingling in their hands, arms, legs, and feet, as well. Neck pain is also common. In severe cases of stenosis, patients may lose control of their bladder or bowels.
If you were recently diagnosed with spinal stenosis, remember that you are not alone. The disorder is actually more common than most people think.
As a matter of fact, experts believe spinal stenosis affects an estimated 8 to 11 percent of the total population.
Thankfully, you do not have to live with the pain and immobility of spinal stenosis because there are many treatment options available. The best treatment will depend on a few factors including your age and the severity of your stenosis.
Epidural injections are common for patients living with spinal stenosis pain. These injections are placed directly into the epidural space of the spine, reducing inflammation and alleviating the spine pain for a period of time.
Spinal surgery may be an option to consider if your stenosis is affecting your quality of life.
A lumbar laminectomy to remove a portion of the spinal column can also be an option. By removing the section of the spine, there will be more space in the spinal column, which reduces pressure on the spine and nerves.
While invasive, lumbar laminectomy can be an effective option for patients.
Living with spinal stenosis is possible, but proper understanding is necessary to ensure you are diagnosed and treated effectively. | {

Award-winning journalist and former State Department speechwriter Rena Pederson brings to light fresh details about the charismatic Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi: the inspiration for Burma's (now Myanmar) first steps towards democracy. Suu Kyi's party will be a major contender in the 2015 elections, a revolutionary breakthrough after years of military dictatorship. Using exclusive interviews with Suu Kyi since her release from fifteen years of house arrest, as well as recently disclosed diplomatic cables, Pederson uncovers new facets to Suu Kyi's extraordinary story. The Burma Spring will also surprise readers by revealing the extraordinary steps taken by First Lady Laura Bush to help Suu Kyi, and also how former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton injected new momentum into Burma's democratic rebirth. Pederson provides a never before seen view of the harrowing hardships the people of Burma have endured and the fiery political atmosphere in which Suu Kyi's has fought a life-and-death struggle for liberty in this fascinating part of the world.
Rena Pederson teaches writing at Southern Methodist University. She has written on Burma for the Huffington Post, The Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor. Pederson was the Editorial Page Editor at the Dallas Morning News, has served on the Pulitzer Prize Board, and is the author of The Lost Apostle and What's Next?, which was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show. She is currently a commentator on Dallas Public Radio and lives in Dallas, Texas. | {

Hopi Indians (contraction of Hópitu, 'peaceful ones,' or Hópitu-shínumu, 'peaceful all people': their own name). A body of Indians, speaking a Shoshonean dialect, occupying 6 pueblos on a reservation of 2,472,320 acres in north east Arizona. The name "Moqui," or "Moki," by which they have been popularly known, means 'dead' in their own language, but as a tribal name it is seemingly of alien origin and of undetermined signification – perhaps from the Keresan language (Mósǐcha in Laguna, Mo-ts in Acoma, Mótsǐ in Sia, Cochiti, and San Felipe), whence Espejo's "Mohace" and "Mohoce" (1583) and Oñate's "Mohoqui (1598). Bandelier and Cushing believed the Hopi country, the later province of Tusayan, to be identical with the Totonteac of Fray Marcos de Niza.
The Hopi first became known to white men in the summer of 1540, when Coronado, then at Cibola (Zuni), dispatched Pedro de Tobar and Fray Juan de Padilla to visit 7 villages, constituting the province of Tusayan, toward the west or north west. The Spaniards were not received with friendliness at first, but the opposition of the natives was soon over come and the party remained among the Hopi several days, learning from them of the existence of the Grand canyon of the Colorado, which Cardenas was later ordered to visit. The names of the Tusayan towns are not recorded by Coronado's chroniclers, so that with the exception of Oraibi, Shongopovi, Mishongnovi, Walpi, and Awatobi, it is not known with certainty what villages were inhabited when the Hopi first became known to the Spaniards. Omitting Awatobi, which was destroyed in 1700 with the possible exception of Oraibi none of these towns now occupies its 16th century site.
Francisco Sanchez Chamuscado visited Zuñi in 1581 and speaks of the Hopi country as Asay or Osay, but he did not visit it on account of the snow. Two years later, however, the province was visited by Antonio de Espejo, who journeyed 28 leagues from Zuñi to the first of the Hopi pueblos in 4 days. The Mohoce, or Mohace, of this explorer consisted of 5 large villages, the population of one of which, Aguato (Ahuato, Zaguato=Awatobi) he estimated at 50,000, a figure perhaps 25 times too great. The names of the other towns are not given. The natives had evidently forgotten the horses of Tobar and Cardenas of 43 years before, as they now became frightened at these strange animals. The Hopi presented Espejo with quantities of cotton "towels," perhaps kilts, for which they were celebrated then as now.
The next Spaniard to visit the "Mohoqui" was Juan de Oñate, governor and colonizer of New Mexico, who took possession of the country and made the Indians swear to obedience and vassalage on Nov. 15, 1598. Their spiritual welfare was assigned to Fray Juan de Claros, although no active missions were established among the Hopi until nearly a generation later. The 5 villages at this time, so far as it is possible to determine them, were Aguato or Aguatuybá (Awatobi), Gaspe (Gualpe=Walpi), Comupaví or Xumupamí (Shongopovi), Majananí (Mishongnovi), and Olalla or Naybí (Oraibi).
The first actual missionary work undertaken among the Hopi was in 1629, on Aug. 20 of which year Francisco de Porras, Andrés Gutierrez, Cristobal de la Concepcion, and Francisco de San Buenaventura, escorted by 12 soldiers, reached Awatobi, where the mission of San Bernardino was founded in honor of the day, followed by the establishment of missions also at Walpi, Shongopovi, Mishongnovi, and Oraibi. Porras was poisoned by the natives of Awatobi in 1633. All the Hopi missions seem to have led a precarious existence until 1680, when in the general Pueblo revolt of that year four resident missionaries were killed and the churches destroyed. Henceforward no attempt was made to reestablish any of the missions save that of Awatobi in 1700, which so incensed the other Hopi that they fell upon it in the night, killing many of its people and compelling its permanent abandonment.
Before the rebellion Mishongnovi and Walpi had become reduced to visitas of the missions of Shongopovi and Oraibi respectively. At the time of the outbreak the population of Awatobi was given as 800, Shongopovi 500, and Walpi 1,200. Oraibi, it is said, had 14,000 gentiles before their conversion, but that they were consumed by pestilence. This number is doubtless greatly exaggerated.
The pueblos of Walpi, Mishongnovi, and Shongopovi, situated in the foothills, were probably abandoned about the time of the Pueblo rebellion, and new villages built on the adjacent mesas for the purpose of defense against the Spaniards, whose vengeance was needlessly feared. The reconquest of the New Mexican pueblos led many of their inhabitants to seek protection among the Hopi toward the close of the 17th century. Some of these built the pueblo of Payupki, on the Middle mesa, but were taken back and settled in Sandia about the middle of the 18th century. About the year 1700 Hano was established on the East mesa, near Walpi, by Tewa from near Abiquin, New Mexico, who came on the invitation of the Walpians. Here they have lived uninterruptedly, and although they have intermarried extensively with the Hopi, they retain their native speech and many of their distinctive tribal rites and customs. Two other pueblos, Sichonlovi on the First mesa, built by Asa clans from the Rio Grande, and Shipaulovi, founded by a colony from Shongopovi on the Second or Middle mesa, are both of comparatively modern origin, having been established about the middle of the 18th century, or about the time the Payupki people returned to their old home. Thus the pueblos of the ancient province of Tusayan now consist of the following: Walpi, Sichomovi, and Hano, on the First or East mesa; pop. (1900) 205, 119, and 160, respectively, exclusive of about 20 who have established homes in the plain; total 504. Mishongnovi, Shongopovi, and Shupaulovi, on the Second or Middle mesa; estimated pop. 244, 225, and 126; total 595. Oraibi, on the Third or West mesa; pop. (1890) 905. Total Hopi population (1904) officially given as 1,878.
Maize being the basis of their subsistence, agriculture is the principal industry of the Hopi. On the average 2,500 acres are yearly planted in this cereal, the yield in 1904 being estimated at 25,000 bushels. Perhaps one-third of the annual crop is preserved in event of future failure through drought or other causes. There are also about 1,000 acres in peach orchards and 1,500 acres in beans, melons, squashes, pumpkins, onions, chile, sunflowers, etc. Cotton, wheat, and tobacco are also raised in small quantities, hut in early times native cotton was extensively grown. In years of stress desert plants, which have always been utilized to some extent for food, form an important part of the diet.
The Hopi have of late become more or less pastoral. Flocks (officially estimated in 1904 at 56,000 sheep and 15,000 goats), acquired originally from the Spaniards, supply wool and skins. They own also about 1,500 head of cattle, and 4,350 horses, burros, and mules. Dogs, chickens, hogs, and turkeys are their only other domesticated animals. All small desert animals are eaten; formerly antelope, elk, and deer were captured by being driven into pitfalls or corrals. Communal rabbit hunts are common, the animals being killed with wooden clubs shaped like boomerangs. Prairie dogs are drowned out of their burrows, coyotes are caught in pitfalls made of stones, and small birds are captured in snares.
The Hopi are skilled in weaving, dyeing, and embroidering blankets, belts, and kilts. Their textile work is durable, and shows a great variety of weaves. The dark-blue blanket of the Hopi woman is an important article of commerce among the Pueblos, and their embroidered ceremonial blankets, sashes, and kilts made of cotton have a ready sale among neighboring tribes. Although the Hopi ceramic art has somewhat deteriorated in modern times, fair pottery is still made among the people of Hano, where one family has revived the superior art of the earlier villagers. They weave basketry in a great variety of ways at the Middle Mesa pueblos and in Oraibi; but, with the exception of the familiar sacred-meal plaques, which are well made and brightly colored, the workmanship is crude. The Hopi are clever in making masks and other religious paraphernalia from hides, and excel in carving and painting dolls, representing kachinas, which are adorned with bright feathers and cloth. They likewise manufacture mechanical toys, which are exhibited in some of their dramatic entertainments. Nowhere among the aborigines of North America are the Hopi excelled in dramaturgic exhibitions, in some of which their imitations of birds and other animals are marvelously realistic.
The Hopi language is classified as Shoshonean; but, according to Gatschet, it "seems to contain many archaic words and forms not encountered in the other dialects, and many vocables of its own. "The published vocabularies are very limited, and comparatively little is known of the grammatical structure of the language; but it is evident that it contains many words of Keresan, Tewa, Pima, Zuñi, Ute, Navaho, and Apache derivation. As among other Southwestern tribes a number of words are modified Spanish, as those for horse, sheep, melon, and the names for other intrusive articles and objects. Slight dialectic differences are noticeable in the speech of Oraibi and Walpi, but the language, of the other pueblos is practically uniform. The Hopi language is melodious and the enunciation clear. The speech of the people of Awatobi is said to have had a nasal intonation, while the Oraibi speak drawlingly. Although they accompany their speech with gestures, few of the Hopi understand the sign language. The Keresan people have furnished many songs, with their words, and Zuñi and Pima songs have also been introduced. Some of the prayers also have archaic Tanoan or Keresan words.
The Hopi are preeminently a religious people, much of their time, especially in winter, being devoted to ceremonies for rain and the growth of crops. Their mythology is a polytheism largely tinged with ancestor worship and permeated with fetishism. They originally had no conception of a great spirit corresponding to God, nor were they ever monotheists; and, although they have accepted the teachings of Christian missionaries, these have not had the effect of altering their primitive beliefs. Their greatest gods are deified nature powers, as the Mother Earth and the Sky god – the former mother, and the latter father, of the races of men and of marvelous animals, which are conceived of as closely allied.
The earth is spoken of as having always existed. In Hopi mythology the human race was not created, but generated from the earth, from which man emerged through an opening called the sipapu, now typified by the Grand canyon of the Colorado. The dead are supposed to return to the underworld. The Sky Father and the Earth Mother have many names and are personated in many ways; the latter is represented by a spider; the former by a bird—a hawk or an eagle. Such names as Fire god, Germ god, and others are attributed designations of the great male powers of nature, or its male germinative principle. All supernatural beings are supposed to influence the rain and consequently the growth of crops. Every clan religion exhibits strong ancestral worship, in which a male and a female ancestral tutelary of the clan, called by a distinctive clan name, is preeminent. The Great Horned or Plumed Serpent, a form of sky god, derived from the south, and introduced by the Patki and other southern clans, is prominent in sun ceremonies. The number of subordinate supernatural personages is almost unlimited. Thee are known as "kachinas," a term referring to the magic power inherent in every natural object for good or for bad. Many of these kachinas are personations of clan ancestors, others are simply beings of unknown relationship but endowed with magic powers. Each kachina possesses individual characteristics, and is represented in at least six different symbolic colors. The world quarters, or six cardinal points, play an important role in Hopi mythology and ritual. Fetishes, amulets, charms, and mascots are commonly used to insure luck in daily occupations, and for health and success in hunting, racing, gaming, and secular performances. The Hopi ceremonial calendar consists of a number of monthly festivals, ordinarily of 9 days duration, of which the first 8 are devoted to secret rites in kivas or in rooms set apart for that purpose, the final day being generally devoted to a spectacular public ceremony or "dance." Every great festival is held under the auspices of a special religious fraternity or fraternities, and is accompanied with minor events indicating a former duration of 20 days. Among the most important religious fraternities are the Snake, Antelope, Flute, Sun, Lalakontu, Owakultu, Mamzrautu, Kachina, Tataukyamu, Wuwuchimtu, Aaltu, Kwakwautu, and Kalektaka. There are also other organized priesthoods, as the Yaya and the Poshwympkia, whose functions are mainly those of doctors or healers. Several ancient priesthoods, known by the names Koyimsi, Paiakyamu, and Chukuwympkia, function as clowns or fun-makers during the sacred dances of the Kachinas. The ceremonial year is divided into two parts, every great ceremony having a major and a minor performance occurring about 6 months apart; and every 4 years, when initiations occur, most ceremonies are celebrated in extenso. The so called Snake and Flute dances are performed biennially at all the pueblos except Sichomovi and Hano, and alternate with each other. Ceremonies are also divided into those with masked and those with unmasked participants, the former, designated kachinas, extending from January to July, the latter occurring in the remaining months of the year. The chief of each fraternity has a badge of his office and conducts both the secret and the open features of the ceremony. The fetishes and idols used in the sacred rites are owned by the priesthood and are arranged by its chief in temporary altars, in front of which dry-paintings are made. The Hopi ritual is extraordinarily complex and time consuming, and the paraphernalia required is extensive. Although the Hopi cultus has become highly modified by a semi-arid environment; it consisted originally of ancestor worship, embracing worship of the great powers of nature – sky, sun, moon, fire, rain, and earth. A confusion of effect and cause and an elaboration of the doctrine of signatures pervade all their rites, which in the main may be regarded as sympathetic magic.
I am a young photographer, currently working on an artistic documentary essai. It consist of cycle short movies, entitled The Chaøs Chrønicles – Fragments, during our trip we had the chance to meet up with a women who lived on hopi reservation. He story is really pure and touching, i think can be interesting for your blog ! | {

wondering if there is anyone with experience that would not mind teaching a newbie about hunting in Thailand. I am in the Bangkok area and would like to try to find some mushies. If you are interested please PM me. I can speak Thai fluently and this may be of advantage. Also if you have any advice of when/where to look (besides saying "on a pile of water buffalo crap :horse:") I would appreciate it.
I thought that now that the rainy season is coming it would be the right time to make some plans. Any advice/guidance/help/teaching is much appreciated and thanks ahead of time.
every thing is exactally the way it was aways suppose to be!
i know MJ has alot of info on hunting the thai cubes and where to find them on his website. he will probilly chime in on this thread some time anyway but here is a link. i know there is a monthly full moon mushroom fest on Koh Pha-Ngan island you should check out but i dunno what the dates are.
Thanks for the reply. I have been to the Full Moon party a few times years ago. It was fun but has changed a lot even between my first and second trips. I could say it is much more commercial now than my first trip to Phang gnan. It used to be 8-10 DJs all across the crescent shaped beach with guests enjoying redbull/whiskey/coke(the cola) at some candle lit tables between the DJs in front of the various restaurants, a wink got you a mushroom shake. We always stayed the night on the island cause there was no way to get back to Samui, and why would you want to?.
Now it is the Hieneken stage, the Singha Stage,and others, 50 speed boats crossing the ocean, hookers up from Phuket for the night. I am really not into that scene anymore. Rather have my own party with the great friends I have here in Bangkok.
I have no idea why prostitutes would come from Phuket to Koh Samui to go to Koh Phanghan since Samui has over 1000 working girls on the island. And Phuket is hundreds of kilometers southwest of Koh Samui on the other side of the land mass. Samui is in the southern portion of the Gulf of Thailand, 700 kms south of Bangkok and 75 kms east of the Surat Thani Coast line. Then more than a 100 km to the Andaman Sea and then a ferry boat ride to Phuket or a plane ticket, something most working girls several hundred miles south close to the Malaysian Border and in the Andaman Sea facing India and Sri Lanka could not afford. It is better to book a room on the north of the island of Koh Phanghan days ahead of the festival. There are enough people (locals) who will drive you to your bungalow if there is an opening on the water front for the cycle to get through the water along the short and north from Thong Sala to Bottle Beach and to the east or west. The festival is held on east Haad Rin Beach and a 5 minute walk through the jungles you can have a bungalow and watch the sun set on West Haad Rin Beach and in the morn walk back to the east beach and watch the sun rise.
About 300 omelletes are prepared every Friday and Saturday night depending on monsoon and shroom season. Not every day has shrooms.
Thanks again. I guess they pros were from Samui. Nonetheless the second time I was there was a big change from my first party(I am guessing that was January 2001) which seemed to be a similar crowd to Burning Man years ago(that sure has changed as well). The first party I went to was extra special because that night was also a Lunar eclipse so it was bright moonlight then suddenly dark and then bright again.
Maybe a new Thai event needs to be started that is not so commercial.
u ever try going to Koh Tao??
did some srhooms there omlettes or u can order them in a shake blended form..
I am also in BKk and in the same boat. TS did you find any information you could share?
Hi, i'm also in bkk for a few years now, into the rainy season at the moment...any leads on where to find them around bkk, or one of the closer islands/beaches? Thanks.
Wow man that's awesome you can speak Thai. What's bangkok like?
Better late than never. Nik noi. just a little. Sawasdee! | {

Love did not lift them up where they belong.
As any hopeless romantic knows, love has a way of lifting us up where we belong. But when a stage, some microphones, and a live studio audience get involved, all bets are off. James Corden and Kristen Bell found that out the hard way on Tuesday's Late Late Show as they set out to sing Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes's timeless duet "Up Where We Belong." Let's just say they were struggling with more than just the high notes.
They can go do that. We're just going to quietly slink off and re-watch Moulin Rouge while they work on it. | {

Q: Issue Migrating to Android X I am running into an issue migrating my project to Android X. After migrating my project and trying to build it, this is the error that I am getting:
/app/build/intermediates/incremental/mergeDebugResources/merged.dir/values/values.xml:2239: error: duplicate value for resource 'attr/pivotX' with config ''.
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue?
A: Figured it out. What happened when I migrated to Android X was that some of the dependencies were mapped to the alpha channel instead of the stable one. Had to go through each dependency and map them myself. Luckily, Android has a link with all the com.android dependencies alongside the androidx. ones. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate

Full Strength Blackhawks Surge Towards Playoffs
Last night was the first game in over a month that the Blackhawks played a game at full strength. Last night was also the first game they've played after they became the first NHL team this year to clinch a playoff spot. So what better timing then for the best team in the NHL to start positioning itself for a deep run into the postseason? Getting Marian Hossa back, who actually returned before last night's game, as well as Patrick Sharp, gives the Hawks their full depth chart. Yes, the same depth chart that went over half the season before losing in regulation. A roster with a healthy Sharp and Hossa together hasn't lost in regulation all season. Barring any drastic injuries, this bodes well for the team moving forward.
I guess it'd be a misnomer to say that the Hawks are full strength as Dave Bolland has been out. But as the second line center is not expected to be out long, the Hawks look primed to get the team ready for a deep run into the playoffs. Since Hossa and Sharp went down, the Hawks have struggled (or maybe their version of struggling). Their remarkable depth took a hit as two of their best two way forwards were missing from the lineup. You can see the impact in a weak effort on the power play as of late and the team's struggles in the third period as well. Players like Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews were logging minutes usually reserved for defensemen like Duncan Keith. Now, though, the team can flatten out, sort out where to fit everyone on each line, and finish the season strong.
That's really what matters most. As we've seen not just in the NHL but really all sports, the way a team is playing as they end the season can be a huge indicator of how they might fare in the postseason. We've seen it with the Ravens and Giants in the NFL, the Giants in MLB last year, several different programs in this past NCAA Tournament, and especially with the Los Angeles Kings in the NHL last year. Hockey, maybe more than any sport, can use momentum as a major source of success. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, a team that is playing well can head into any 7 game series and feel they have a chance to win. Perhaps that's why you see so many upsets in the NHL postseason.
That's why it was crucial for the Hawks to get fully healthy. It will allow the team to mesh again and start playing consistently superior hockey heading into the postseason. The Hawks don't want to get caught stumbling towards the finish line only to have a pesky team like St. Louis take them out in the first round. Given the relative ups and downs of the Hawks over the past month, a grind it out win with a full strength squad (minus Bolland) against a good Minnesota team last night was crucial.
Handzus brings needed depth and size
If Bolland is, for some reason, out for any extended period of time, the Hawks addressed depth at center anyways with the acquisition of Michal Handzus. The big veteran center gives the Hawks even more experience up front and presents both a big target on special teams and in front of the net, and brings some needed skill on the face off. He's supplanted Andrew Shaw as the third line center, bumping Shaw down to the fourth line while Marcus Kruger fills in for the injured Bolland on the second line. If Bolland comes back, having another quality center on the roster is always a plus. Handzus is the type of player who won't complain about minutes and will be able to contribute off the bench if need be. Add that pickup to the list of shrewd moves made by GM Stan Bowman, who's reputation in and of itself has improved. Previously lambasted for gutting the 2010 Stanley Cup team (even though the contracts that necessitated the move were not his and his hand was forced), he's rebounded to field the best team in hockey right now. Perhaps his smartest move was to leave the team be the previous couple offseasons and rely on his excellent coach and talented team to come back together, instead of trading away key pieces in a knee jerk reaction to both outside and inside criticism.
There are some interesting storylines heading into the home stretch of the season, though. Chief among them is just what Joel Quenneville plans to do about the goaltending situation. Granted, it is a good one to have, being forced to pick between two good goalies. But does Quenneville stick with his preseason #1 in Corey Crawford or go to Ray Emery, who has had a fantastic season? Or does he do the unorthodox and platoon both goalies throughout the postseason? For my money, I feel that Coach Q should stick with what has worked thus far (platooning the two), and simply ride the hot hand in the playoffs. If one of the two struggles, it makes the decision that much easier. In that way, I think it will sort itself out. If one had the edge right now though, it'd be hard to pick against Emery, who had yet another lights-out performance last night.
Does Q go with Crawford or Emery
The other comes back to line pairings. Bolland seemed to be struggling before he was injured, notwithstanding a 2 goal game right before he got hurt. Does Quenneville ease him back into the rotation and rely more on Kruger on the second line? It's hard to imagine Bolland, who has always performed admirably in the playoffs, not getting the nod, but Kruger's bump to the second line shows Quenneville's confidence in him and coach wouldn't hesitate to go with Handzus and Shaw, another player he likes, if he has to. An interesting one to watch as well, but I think we'll see Bolland back on the second line when he's healthy. One thing is for sure - Quenneville will ride the hot hand not just in net, but on offense as well. If he sees Kane feeding well off Kruger on the second line, I would bet on seeing Bolland down on the third line. With the way Coach Q shifts lines, you just never know.
The Hawks though, for such a potent offensive team, need to get the powerplay sorted out. It's a major weakness on a club that can be nearly flawless on any given night. The penalty kill has been outstanding, and it'll be even more important as the playoffs start. But the Hawks have to begin to exploit teams on the power play. Additionally, they need to come out firing in third period of games where they've already established a lead. The team must establish a will that regardless of any lead, they will come out and play their punishing, puck possession style of attack. Keep up the intensity, speed, and skill on the forecheck and play with the same confidence and focus that makes the team so dangerous in the first two periods.
The Hawks will figure this out, because they have outstanding leadership, talent, and coaching. They have nine games left with a finally healthy full squad to get back to where they were when they torched the rest of the league at the start of the season. They're still atop the NHL standings and play consistently better than any team in the league. Now, with the return of Sharp and Hossa, the hope is that the Hawks can stay healthy moving forward and continue on the path of returning the Stanley Cup to Chicago.

This is the Tanyptera region's only Nationally Rare caddisfly. [Nationally Rare species are known from 15 or fewer post 31.12.1979 hectads; for A. brevipennis the count is 11].
The recent review of the conservation status of UK caddisflies gave this species the grade of "vulnerable" due to the small area it occupied. Recent loss of habitat was not then detected, but it may have been lost from one site (not in this region) in the past couple of years.
First records were in 1862 from Hale Moss, Altrincham and an off-shoot at Bowdon after only a year after its addition to the UK list, made by Benjamin Cooke. The last records from this site was 1868.
Wybunbury Moss – first record 1954 but not seen here since 1998 until re-found by Ian and Brenda Wallace in 2018 following a Tanyptera project supported search.
Hatchmere Fen – first record 1982 but not seen here since 1984 until re-found by Ian and Brenda Wallace in 2018 following a Tanyptera project supported search.
Danes Moss – 1991 – not re-found despite a search by Ian and Brenda Wallace in 2018.
The larvae are found in shallow pools, in fen carr woodland. The pools have a bottom of dead leaf fragments and a slight water flow. They dry up over summer. The secretive adults hide amongst dense vegetation and wood debris at the breeding site.
Larvae grow from late winter through spring and emerge as adults before the water-body dries up. They have not been found in autumn when their habitat is dominated by another dead leaf eating caddis, the very common Glyphotaelius pellucidus which finishes feeding as A brevipennis starts growing. It is probable that A. brevipennis hatches from the egg in autumn but stays small.
The adult is presumed to hide away over summer and the female will not develop eggs until late summer, laying in September under woody debris in the still dry, but damp, pool bottoms.
The pools where it lives eventually dry-up by natural succession, but under natural conditions new carr develops, ages and becomes suitable. However there may be no new habitat developing at some sites. Long-term drying out of sites, or droughts can dry up the pools prematurely. This may have caused A. brevipennis to be lost from Wem Moss in Shropshire. Wetting the habitat by damming is also unfavourable as they need water flow and pools that actually dry up. Removal of a lot of the tree cover at a site would probably result in local extinction.
The adult does light trap but only at its site and the insect resembles several other common species.
The larval case, triangular in section and made of dead leaves is characteristic. It also persists after the adult has emerged and when the pools dry up. The latter is very useful as the habitat is often dangerous to access when wet.
Wooded mossland sites and dense carr of lakes fens are potential sites and the initially unattractive pools of such habitats are worth investigating. Wooded mossland sites are potentially under greatest threat as they are often regarded as degraded and candidates for serious tree clearance. A preliminary survey and retention of some suitable habitat is desirable. Its status at three regional sites has been checked in 2018; Wynbunbury Moss, Hatchmere fen and Danes Moss (searches of the first two were supported by the Tanyptera Project small grants scheme). Wynbunbury Moss had a large population and has many other rare species whose status is monitored, perhaps A. brevipennis could be added to the schedules for the site. | {

I was listening to an album by Hillsong given by my ex-colleague a while back. When the song, You Hold Me Now, was on, my eyes started to well up with tears. I was touched.
My friend and brother, thank you for the Hillsong album and thank you for carrying me on your back at Yosemite when I hurt my right knee, hiking down before the sky turned dark. I know you can't say "Sister, you ain't heavy," as I am pretty heavy. Once again, expressing my gratitude for your kind and selfless act. Blessed 2017!
Dear readers, please enjoy the song.

Are you transitioning into a new home, a new family, a new job, or a new relationship? Or perhaps you're experiencing a life setback such as death, financial hardship, health issue, or divorce. Our world, our lives, and body are constantly transitioning into the next thing. We must look at change as opportunities that can move us to transition into new levels of God's glory and plan for our lives. Change is a process that involves growth and maturity which means it takes time. Transitions are about taking little steps of change to fulfill His purpose. Let us search His word on how we are to process, initiate, and respond to transition and change. Like clay in the potters hand, we are a work in progress and He understands that change doesn't happen instantly. Where is God taking you? Where is God taking the church? Whether its from here to there, this to that, or glory to glory, its all his plan to transition us into the next thing! | {

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau kicked off the world's largest conference on gender equality women's health and rights, alongside the Presidents of Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia, to an audience of over 6,000 delegates representing 160 countries.
Speaking at the plenary session hosted by Washington Post columnist Barkha Dutt, Zoleka Mandela shared the memories and wisdom of her grandfather, Nelson Mandela. She shared her personal story of loss, when her daughter was killed in a road crash by a drunk driver, and described how it was her grandfather's words which helped her find hope and purpose in her global campaigning on road safety. Rallying the audience to never give up hope, no matter how impossible the cause may seem, she encouraged delegates to collaborate and align campaigns to build successful movements. Highlighting her work with the Child Health Initiative, which is convening a growing coalition of international agencies to catalyse action on neglected adolescent health issues, she said:
"From your own personal pain can come great strength. This is the lesson for the campaigns to come, and our campaigning now. This is our approach in campaigning on adolescent health. Joining forces of those fighting on sexual health and rights, on ending violence and bringing everyone together to combat the biggest killers of young people including issues like road traffic injury.
"Along with the other major health burdens, road traffic injury is entirely preventable and we need to see far greater global commitment and funding from governments and donors."
Of the $35 billion invested annually in global development assistance for health, just 1.6% is spent on promoting the health and wellbeing of adolescents. In low- and middle-income countries, where adolescents can make up to 60% of the population, still less than 2% of national health budgets is spent on this age group. With such a gap between financing and need, 3,000 adolescents are dying every day from preventable causes. To address the dearth of investment for this age group, the Child Health Initiative, coordinated by the FIA Foundation, is calling for a global adolescent summit.
Youth campaigners made up 20% of the delegation at Women Deliver, and played a central role in debates on youth participation, sexual reproductive health rights and gender based violence. Many Women Deliver Young Leaders are already pioneering creative new projects to shift the needle on gender equality and rights.
Young people must be active and vocal stakeholders within any movement to shape adolescent health policy and inform investment priorities. A Young Leaders panel was hosted by Zoleka Mandela and speakers Olaoluwa Abagu, Pooja Kapahi, Maram Barakat, Riki Hasan and Kinga Wisniewska shared their campaigning success stories before joining the call for global action on adolescent health.
On the Child Health Initiative joining Women Deliver, FIA Foundation Deputy Director Avi Silverman said: "This is the first time we have brought the adolescent health agenda to this huge global conference on the rights of women and girls. It was another important step in ensuring that road traffic injury is recognised and acted upon as a major global health burden affecting young people. And it is critical that investment and action are scaled up to prevent 3,000 young lives being lost every day, to road traffic injury, violence, self-harm and other preventable causes. We have heard young campaigners from all over the world demand that their governments are held accountable. With Young Leaders and international agencies, we are pioneering a new collaboration to call for a global adolescent summit, to drive investment in the health and wellbeing of young people."

'On the Basis of Sex' Looks Back on Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Roots
Diane Won December 25th, 2018 - 12:05 PM
A Focus Features film directed by Mimi Leder, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's biopic concerns life leading up to her becoming the second female Supreme Court Justice. On the Basis of Sex goes into Ginsburg's journey studying law and fending off discriminatory sexism. Reed v. Reed (1971), a monumental case which introduced equal protection for women under the law, is a focal point in the film.
On the Basis of Sex is released on Christmas Day. Felicity Jones, known for her role in Theory of Everything and Rogue One, is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ruth's spouse, Marty Ginsburg, is played by Armie Hammer from Call Me by Your Name. Mel Wulf, the legal director of the ACLU in Ginsburg's time and with whom Ginsburg does not have a particularly friendly relationship, is portrayed by Justin Theroux. Kathy Bates is Dorothy Kenyon, a feminist and suffragette lawyer who worked with Ginsburg. Sam Waterston is Erwin Griswold, an accomplished lawyer who served as Solicitor General for two Presidents and dean of Harvard Law School among other things. The Ginsburg children, Jane and James, are played by Cailee Spaeny and Callum Shoniker. Jane Ginsburg became an attorney like her parents while James took a different route toward working as a music producer. For admirers of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this biopic is another choice holiday film.
On The Basis of Sex is now playing in theaters.

1/15/17 O&A NYC MILESTONE: Eddie Long Dies at 63
By OutandAboutnycmag January 15, 2017 January 15, 2017 Milestone, Religion
Controversial religious leader Bishop Eddie Long has died at age 63. Rumors that the pastor and founder New Birth Missionary Baptist Church had passed began circulate and were confirmed through an instagram post on Long's account.
"My heart is heavy, but God is in control. See you in the rapture Bishop Eddie Long. It was my honor to serve New Birth for 12 years," tweets Byron Cage. Cage is the former minister of music at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church founded and led by Long.
On New Birth's website, Long is described as:
Bishop Eddie L. Long is known worldwide as a pioneering leader, revolutionary mind changer, a family man, and a caring and loving pastor. As a pioneering leader, Bishop Long is highly regarded for his vision, boldness, and unapologetic courage to walk in the supernatural. As a pastor, he is well respected and loved for his passion to bring souls into the body of Christ and join them to a local church body, and for preaching and teaching messages that change mindsets and encourage hearts. At home, he is a doting husband to his beautiful wife, First Lady Vanessa Long and loving father to his 4 children and 3 grandchildren. At New Birth, Bishop Long is most loved for being the 'father of many' – a pastor who loves God, God's people, and who speaks life and declares, You shall NOT die but live to proclaim the goodness of the Lord!
Kevin Bond, another former minister of music at New Birth, writes on Facebook: "My sincere prayers go out to the Family of Bishop Eddie Long & the entire New Birth Church Family in the passing of Bishop Eddie Long. RIP"
In October 2016, Long told his congregation during a service earlier this month that God had healed him. "I've been on a journey and just recalibrating myself."
The 'recalibrating' is likely in part the raw food diet that he adopted. An emaciated Long professed in a video that shocked the world in August 2016. He shared in the video posted on Facebook: "I'm on the medicine that God gave you to feed your immune system to build you up," he says in the clip. "You know what, if you really want to move through this world and have influence, you gotta be spiritual and you have to walk by his commandments and you have to be healthy."
There is no word on the cause of death.

hi tuan Danny & good evening to all m'sians..
i'm a newbie here & quite old too.. suprise with the technology these days.. boleh sembang2 with so many people, young & old..
they are getting better in matching the genuine products each day, and even worst, those guys are bold & daring enough selling them online as genuine products..
sometimes i become sakit hati when my friends got conned buying fake goods with their hard earn money.. what can we do?
1) The old adage is buy the seller, not the watch.
2) When in doubt, send for SC verification.
3) Unless we are talking about vintage pieces, we should be getting full boxed sets. Most of those replica adverts would have "watch only, no box or papers" and with unreasonably low prices. So most of those whom buy into the replicas knew what they were buying into really.
Thank you for the tips..
Just sharing my experience assisting a friend in his mishap..
The advertiser even promised him should the product is fake, refund is guaranteed.
Then it becomes i say, u say.. nothing much can be done..
The only thing is that these adverts keep on appearing in the online sales apps, some do tell, with much cheaper price circa hundreds, but there might be a next person to face the same fate as my friend had experienced..
Being not a watch expert, I may find it difficult to look at all the watches for sale in Mudah. This also appears similar in Carousell, looking at Rolex watches at very cheap prices (only at RM100+) - to me, I think it is obvious those are fake watches.
Well, to buy watches in online sites, and to get them confirmed as genuine, verification is needed. Otherwise, one may be buying fake ones at whatever price stated.
Yes, nowadays, technology today has improved a lot.
Current ad in mxxxx.com, what do you think?
It has been happening for quite some time. Especially when online marketing becoming popular. A lot of people can get these counterfeit items easily via online. There's nothing much we can do if being conned but can try to make a report to that particular brand / company authority.
never think of that.. probably i'll suggest my friend to do so..
I suppose to add on, "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is"
Personally saw the advert and was tempted myself to try! | {

The New York Department of Public Service will conduct an analysis of the changing market conditions that led to Consolidated Edison Company of New York Inc.'s decision to stop enrolling new gas customers, according to a Jan. 28 press release. The study will focus on Westchester County and other areas facing supply and demand issues, analyzing market changes, capacity of gas infrastructure and alternatives, and their role in supporting the shift to a clean energy economy. The report will explore the options available for utilities to respond to changes and develop recommendations to ensure that utilities are able to meet customer needs in a manner consistent with the state's energy goals. Con Edison announced a temporary moratorium of service beginning March 15 to new firm gas customers that will increase winter peak demand due to supply constraints.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority will prioritize programs and clean energy solutions that can help consumers lower their energy consumption. Con Edison said it is developing additional programs, including for geothermal heating and air source heat pump programs, and renewable gas supplies and local gas storage. The company said that existing customers can participate in its gas energy efficiency program and gas demand response pilot to manage energy costs and lower their usage and peak demand contribution.
Last August, regulators approved Con Edison to implement a three-year, $5 million demand reduction pilot aimed explore innovative solutions to reduce gas consumption on peak days. The program complements the company's natural gas efficiency program, which was launched last July, as part of the utility's Smart Solutions strategy that aims to reduce gas usage and procure alternative resources to address a projected growing shortfall of peak gas day pipeline capacity. The "Enhanced Gas EE" program is expected to double the company's energy efficiency goals for the three years starting 2018, alleviating peak day demand while contributing to the state's climate goals. The utility said that weather-adjusted peak day demand in its service area grew by more than 30 percent over the six-year period starting 2011, and is expected to grow by another 20 percent over the next 20 years.
The department will hold public hearings in Westchester County starting in the week of Feb. 11 to gather stakeholder input. The department staff will file the report by July 1 with the Public Service Commission and State Energy Planning Board, which will assess policies, programs, and regulations to ensure reliable energy supply while supporting economic development, alongside the clean energy transition. | {

Big Brother 20 Live Feeds Recap: Week 6 – Wednesday

It was Eviction Eve in the Big Brother 20 house and what a day it was! There was drama, then a house meeting, then even more drama inside the house and I have all the details for you below! Keep reading my Big Brother 20 live feeds recap for all the Big Brother spoilers from yesterday!
Yesterday we started the day with a conversation between Bayleigh and Angela. Bayleigh went to her to try and plead her case about not being the Hacker. She tells Angela that she wished Angela would have come to her and talk to her about it. Angela reminds Bayleigh about the comp with the deletion dots and how Bayleigh eliminated her from that comp. Bayleigh tells Angela that Tyler is the one that told Bayleigh to do it. Bayleigh tells Angela that she is going to feel really stupid when she realizes that Bayleigh isn't the Hacker.
At 12:25 pm BBT, Haleigh calls a house meeting. The meeting started with Haleigh telling everyone in the house that they owed Bayleigh an apology because Haleigh was the one who won the Hacker Comp. She tells Tyler that she targeted him because when Kaitlyn was in the house she told Haleigh about all the deals and game moves that Tyler had been making and also mentioned how there wasn't a person in the house that would nominate him. That combined with all his comp wins made him an obvious target.
She then turns to Angela and tells Angela that she didn't want to take over her HOH but this is the only opportunity she has been given in this house to make a move and that's why she did it. She then adds that last week Tyler went to Bayleigh and threw Angela's name under the bus and that's when everything exploded. Tyler denied throwing Angela's name out there. Bayleigh accuses him of lying. Tyler tells the house that he went to Bayleigh after winning the POV and asked her if he used it, would Angela be the replacement nominees (this is true). Bayleigh tries to spin it like she had other people in mind and that's what she told Tyler (false).
Bayleigh starts screaming about how Tyler has treated her like trash and he owes her an apology. He tells her that he isn't going to apologize because there isn't a reason to. He denies treating her like trash and is still denying throwing Angela's name under the bus. He tells her that regardless he is still voting her out because she has a power. She is still screaming and yelling at him. He tells her that even though she is screaming and yelling, it doesn't make what she is saying true. Bayleigh tells Tyler that he has made her life hell in the Big Brother house and she retreats to the pink room.
Angela and JC have already retreated to the upstairs area and are watching from up there. Angela told JC that regardless of whether Bayleigh is that hacker or not, she has a power app and needs to go. Bayleigh has to go to the DR because her mouth is bleeding (she bit through the inside of her mouth). Back in the HOH room, JC is telling Angela that this is what Bayleigh does, she plays the victim. Angela reiterates that it doesn't matter that she isn't the Hacker, she still has a power app.
Down in the pink room, Sam and Haleigh are talking and Sam tells her that she isn't mad at Haleigh and that Haleigh did the right thing by telling everyone. Back up in the HOH room, Angela is saying that she still doesn't think that Bayleigh isn't the Hacker. She thinks that Bayleigh talked Haleigh into taking the fall to try and get the target off her. Bayleigh comes out of the DR and apologizes for screaming and yelling so loudly, she has never been that mad in her life, but she is feeling better.
Things have calmed down and there is some game talk going on in the house. JC is annoyed with Rockstar and questions her on why she isn't fighting to stay in the house. She tells him she doesn't want to go home but is mentally prepared to go if she is voted out.
Haleigh is talking about the votes. She thinks that herself, Fessy, Scottie, JC, and Brett will all be voting to keep Bayleigh. The reason Brett is on that list is because they think that he is now working with them. He has infiltrated the Hive sort of speak. He is acting as a spy for L6 to find out what's going on over there. Angela and Kaycee are doing the same thing and have decided that they aren't going to include Scottie in theirs because he can still vote with the other side.
JC had questioned Fessy about his trust in Haleigh and reminds Fessy that Haleigh using the power from the Hacker comp could have opened up the chance of Fessy being BD'd this week. JC reported this conversation back to Tyler and Kaycee. Kaycee tells JC that Haleigh being the Hacker could be a ploy by the other side, but she is confident they have five votes, enough to get Bayleigh out even if one of them is canceled.
The feeds went down for almost two hours last night for the HG's Halfway Party. When they came back, Bayleigh and Scottie are talking. Bayleigh asks Scottie what kind of deal he has with Tyler. He tells her that they have an agreement not to put each other up and to use the Veto on each other if needed. He tells her that they have never made been in on a vote together though. Bayleigh tells Scottie that she is on the block for no reason and that she doesn't understand why the vote isn't obvious. She also tells him that she almost quit.
Bayleigh makes her rounds and talks to Kaycee and then Angela. In her conversation with Angela, Bayleigh tells her that it sucks to lose a friend like her and when Angela tells her they can still be friends, Bayleigh implies that isn't going to happen. She tells Angela that her ability to turn on Bayleigh so quick hurt her. Meanwhile, Haleigh and Scottie are having a conversation. In this conversation, Haleigh asks Scottie if he has a F2 with Tyler and he tells her that he doesn't have an official deal with him. Later, Scottie tells Haleigh about a F3 deal that Bayleigh pitched to him and Fessy. The more they talk, the more upset she gets with Fessy. Scottie tells her about Fessy telling all the guys that they have to stick together and how everyone in the house thinks that her and Fessy are a secret showmance.
There is some reporting back from Scottie and Brett about votes. Scottie tells Tyler that the other side is definitely wanting to keep Bayleigh. Scottie also suggests that he doesn't think that Haleigh is the Hacker even though she is claiming to be. Later, Scottie and Haleigh talk again. They talk about how Kaitlyn ruined their alliance by voting out Steve and getting Swaggy out. Haleigh also offers Scottie an official F4 deal with her, RS and Brett. Haleigh tells Scottie that she had no idea that Bayleigh was trying to push for him as a renom. Haleigh also has decided that she is probably going to cancel Tyler's vote.
It looks like Bayleigh is pretty doomed to be evicted. We will find out for sure later today. Make sure you come back to vote in our Eviction Poll and check out my eviction prediction before my live recap later tonight!

I hope your right SC, but when I hear AV talk about Cody I get the impression he is throwing up the words more than actually meaning them. Its like he is a little kid that has been made to apologise for something he really doesn't want to apologise for. But he knows he has to or he will have to face the old man. That is the feeling I get from him. Anyway as I said I hope you are right and I am seeing something that is not there.

Southern_Canuck wrote: Nah - if you watch AVs interviews on CanucksTV he is very supportive of prospects in general - I don't believe for a second that he has it in for Hodgson. Instead, I think he looks for hard workers that want to learn and do what it takes. If you're not that kind of guy, then AV doesn't want you. With the hustle and try that Hodgson showed in the first game, I think he'll be in good with AV.
Don't forget that Hodgson got 6 or 7 pre-season games last year, and was kept by AV until the bitter end, lining up with NHL wingers... he just wasn't healthy enough to stick. Different ballgame this year.
Well said S_C.
A little patience is needed here.
Cody was put in a tough situation on the road, but had an opportunity to be the best forward in the group with a chance to display some leadership. He was given the most PK ice-time of any forward and according to Bowness' comments to the media, he was used in a number of different situations. To me it seems the Canucks are testing his defensive game and play away from the puck instead of coaxing his offensive game. It's clear where they think he needs to improve and are putting him in situations to show he can perform in that area.
From all accounts, Hodgson was the best forward on the ice and passed the challenges that were placed in front of him. Now, if Cody is continually put in this type of spot as the pre-season goes on, then I'll bang the crypt keeper's drum, but for now it's best to step off the ledge and let it play out.
Take the good from this, Cody performed well and was praised by Bowness. Like Darren Dreger said the other day, if the Canucks didn't believe in Hodgson, he would have been traded by now.

Due to all the injuries, we're going to be in for a bit of rough ride to start this season, and I think the brass wants to see how Cody performs while being a go-to guy. By all accounts, he thrives with a bit of responsibility put on his shoulders, and they want to observe how he handles adversity when he's not playing with world-class players.
Kesler is a lock not to skate on opening night, and Malhotra is questionable at this point. Hell, I'm even reading rumours that Henrik's back still isn't quite right.
Even if it's only Kesler, that's a big loss - add in MM and/or HS and we have HUGE holes up the middle; unless he utterly shits the bed or gets injured, I believe Hodgson will get a chance to show his stuff once the season starts.
In my mind, it's whether he sticks with the team as guys start returning from the infirmary that's the question. | {

——The first futuristic monster movie in 3-D.
Paul Dean has created a deadly parasite that is now attached to his stomach. He and his female companion, Patricia Welles, must find away to destroy it while also trying to avoid Ricus and his rednecks and an evil government agent named Merchant.
Set in the year 1992, ten years after a limited nuclear war as destroyed most of the USA, scientist Paul Dean has developed a new form of leach-like parasite which can grow to large portions every time it eats. Then, evil government agents storm his lab and he's forced to flee deep in the nearby desert and persued by a "merchant" (government agent) intent on reclaiming the last two parasites Paul has. The first is in a silver container, the other is in Paul's abdomen. Paul seeks shelter in a small desert town populated by scavengers which threaten his work, while one local girl, Patrica Wells, forms an alliance with Paul to help him find a way to kill the parasite within him without killing himself, as well as find a way to kill the other one which gets loose and will soon multiply into many thousands unless killed soon.

Royal Matcha Green Tea
By Dianna Monda Dill
Royal Matcha green tea has been celebrated for centuries in Japan for its unique, abundant health benefits. Today, as research uncovers its extensive health benefits, this jewel-green, powdered green tea is gaining renown as both a beverage and herbal remedy in the mainstream of the Western world.
A Different Kind of Green Tea
Of all the green teas, one unique form of powdered green tea called "Matcha" is the most nutritionally potent. And of all Matcha green teas, one in particular stands head and shoulders above the rest: Royal Matcha green tea.
This stone-ground, green tea is packed with many times more healing power than all other green teas. Royal Matcha is the highest grade of matcha green tea, and has a deeper, more intense flavor than the standard grade of green tea products. It has also been proven to be packed with more than ten times the health benefits of regular, steeped green tea.
Their name notwithstanding, many green tea products are not really "green," bit rather brown in color. Generally, this indicates some level of oxidation, which tends to destroy some of the tea's nutrients, degrading its quality. Royal Matcha tea, on the other hand, is the greenest of all green teas. While lower quality green teas are brewed into pale green, somewhat astringent beverages, Royal Matcha is brewed into a frothy, jade green beverage, which has a distinctive, subtly sweet taste.
Royal Matcha Green Tea - A Living Tradition
Royal Matcha tea is grown and produced in Japan, which is famous for the unparalleled quality of its green tea. The preparation and serving of Royal Matcha tea is a living tradition that dates back centuries to medieval Japan.

Powdered green tea was first produced in China during the Song Dynasty, and was later introduced to Japan during the 12th century, where it soon became an integral part of the Japanese monastic and secular culture. Over the centuries, it has been part and parcel of their ancient culture and lifeways for centuries.
Over time, the Japanese perfected the methods and techniques for producing Matcha. Like all other green teas, Royal Matcha is produced from the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant. However, Japan's Royal Matcha green tea owes its amazing health benefits to the meticulous care and attention that goes into cultivating, harvesting and preparing this unique brew.
Producing Royal Matcha
Three weeks before harvest, three layers of shade are built over the tea bushes using bamboo and rice straw. This blocks off 90 percent of all direct sunlight for this period of time. This slows down the tea's growth and creates a higher concentration of chlorophyll, turning its leaves a darker shade of green.
The tea leaves are plucked in the earliest days of the harvesting season, much earlier than other lower grades of tea. They are hand-picked to ensure that only the youngest and finest buds and leaves are plucked. This tea is harvested only once each year, in the springtime.
Unlike other teas, Royal Matcha is neither fermented nor oxidized. What's more, the entire leaf is used to produce the tea, with only the stems and leaf veins removed. This helps retain all the leaves' nutrient goodness, while enhancing the flavor of the tea.
The harvested leaves are dried outside in the shade, out of direct sunlight. They are then ground with a stone mill to produce the fine, talc-like powdered tea we call Royal Matcha. Today, the processed Matcha tea is stored in refrigerated facilities to maintain its freshness.
If you are looking to buy high quality green tea, no other form of this beverage stacks up to Royal Matcha tea in quality and health-giving benefits. It may cost you quite a bit more, but its superior taste and nutrient packed health benefits may make it well worth every extra penny.

Updating your kitchen doesn't have to be an expensive or timely endeavour. There are lots of things you can do – big and small – to breathe new life into your kitchen. In this week's blog, we share five ways to upgrade your kitchen.
New lights are a simple way to completely change the atmosphere of your kitchen. For a bold look, opt for elegant pendant lights or choose more discrete lighting fixtures for a subtle design.
Another easy way to spruce up your kitchen is to upgrade your hardware. Classic hardware is a worthwhile investment that will subtly improve the look and feel of the space. Although make sure to be mindful of the price per piece as the costs can add up quickly, especially if it's a large kitchen with lots of cabinets.
Little things can make a big difference. By updating the smaller items in your kitchen, such as the fruit bowl and chopping board, you can dramatically change the overall aesthetic of your kitchen.
Replacing an old kitchen benchtop with a new high-quality benchtop will considerably improve the look of any kitchen. At Stone Design Group, we offer benchtops in a range of eye catching colours and styles to suit the aesthetic of your home. They are completely customisable and available in high-end stone, marble, granite and caesarstone.
A new splashback is another easy way to update your kitchen. With a range of finishes including marble, granite, limestone, quartzite and onyx, Stone Design Group has the splashback for you.

Punyalan Pvt Ltd
Posted on November 20, 2017 by teny
What is the movie about? :: Joy Thakkolkkaran (Jayasurya) was going through a good run with his business of Punyalan Agarbathis, until a series of misfortunes strikes his life, beginning with the death of his wife Anu Joy (Nyla Usha) due to complications related to delivery. It is soon followed by the bank sequestrating his business due to his inability to repay the loan taken. This leaves his best friend and right hand Greenu sharma (Aju Varghese) on a journey to the Middle East in search of a job. Abhayakumar (Sreejith Ravi) is still left there as his driver, and Advocate Peerthanesh (Dharmajan Bolgatty) is his lawyer and the new best friend. They plan to create a new venture, and this would be Punyalan Water, a substitute for the usual mineral water in Kerala, made in an innovative style. But his problems are only beginning, against the system, including the road transport corporation and the city corporation itself.
And what is to follow in this particular adventure? :: As the system seems to stop himself from becoming the businessman that he has always wanted to be, a bankrupt state awaits him. But he decides to fight against it. This would bring him face to face against Shakthan Rajashekharan (Vijayaraghavan), the Chief Minister of the state whose fate is to be decided by the upcoming by-elections, as one seat at Thrissur is all that matters in a close call with the total number of MLAs. With Joy's challenges going viral in Facebook, and his ideas becoming popular with the common man, the Chief Minister is forced to come live on Facebook, and make a declaration, that would lead to the sequence of events, which have the strength to change the path in the elections. But the question remains if Joy's new adventure in the business field can be successful in one way or the other!
The defence of Punyalan Private Limited :: There is some motivation to be taken from this movie, regarding the need for the public to be aware of certain things in a democracy, including their own power. At these times when there is so much of debate on so many things both in the state and the centre, this movie becomes very much relevant. There is some humour which has been powered by sarcasm, even though some jokes just go around aimlessly reaching nowhere. At the same time, the movie keeps coming up with more and more ideas, and uses its cast to make things better. You see that the idea here is a much needed one for these times, even though not that strong with how it is executed, with the courtroom scenes also not being strong or funny not going on a path like Jolly LLB. If you liked Punyalan Agarbathis, I don't see why you shouldn't watch Punyalan Private Limited here. There is the feel-good factor, and some nice visuals of Thrissur too.
The claws of flaw :: One will notice that there is more dialogues and less action in this movie, and you will also notice that most of the things here might not happen at all, under any circumstance – the common man's chance is rather too far away. There is also the lack of strength with many arguments around here, and a smart twist doesn't happen with the protagonist – even when there was the chance to bring the big surprises, they are not there to be seen. The much needed depth is missing here with the tale, something which a political satire could claim to have, in order to reach better heights. The idea was rather limitless, but what comes on the screen is not. We also see the lack of any memorable female character in this movie, as only one who comes close to being the female lead is Arya herself during her short presence as a reporter. Nyla Usha's character is dead, and Rachana Narayanankutty is replaced by Dharmajan as the lawyer.
Performers of the soul :: Jayasurya is once again the one who leads the way, and he has this character played with ease. No matter how the movie fares at the box-office, this character is certain to remain with that strength which it has always had, for that much is clarified with this performance. Sreejith Ravi and Dharmajan are the ones we are supposed to look out for here, as far as the comedy is concerned, and they do deliver, but the same level is not managed until the end. Aju Varghese is sadly limited to a few video calls here, as he arrives and leaves through video chatting. Meanwhile, Vijayaraghavan shines on the other side, as the politician who is interested in nothing other than playing political games to stay glued to his Chief Minister seat – it is something which he has played before with success as we all know, but it suits him very well this time too. As I have already made it clear, there is no female character worth mentioning other than the one Arya plays.
Soul exploration :: There are so many things that the movie criticises, including the terrible condition of the roads, lack of safety for women, irritating situation brought by demonetisation, troubles in beginning a new business venture, pathetic attitude of politicians and the influential towards the common man, compulsory national anthems in cinemas, dumb social media trending, misuse of public funds, inability to eat or drink what one wishes to, hypocritical approach towards public cleanliness, exploitation in the name of taxes and tolls, laziness of the government authorities in doing their jobs and many more. The idea seems to be to criticise almost all parties, the politicians as villains who don't care about the public at all, and it doesn't begin or end with one person or one party, in one state, or at the national level. The movie takes on almost everyone, from one end of politics to the other.
How it finishes :: Punyalan Private Limited has been the movie that so many people have been waiting for, after the success of Punyalan Agarbathis, and while the sequel to Aadu Oru Bheekara Jeeviyanu has been a much awaited one for the new generation, this movie is something which everyone, especially the family audience have waited for. It is also surely a waiting long above an over-hyped, over-slow-motion, copied flick's sequel which has all style and zero substance, recently being talked about rather too much that needed, in those troll pages. This has actually been a little too long a wait, and Punyalan Private Limited has surely delivered something even when the void stared at it, but not that much as one would have wanted to, after this long period of waiting. But, when we look at the two movies separately, this one surely is close enough to the first one, and it gets there without that much of a trouble.

Home Games Xbox Two Scarlett – How Will The Next Generation Console Amaze Us
Xbox Two Scarlett – How Will The Next Generation Console Amaze Us
Agnes Grimm February 9, 2019 0 Comment
Video game enthusiasts have plenty of reasons to be excited as a new generation of consoles is on its way. The Xbox Two will be the next console launched by Microsoft, and we are expecting plenty of improvements. If you cannot wait to find out more about it, we got you covered. Recently some leaks made certain details available. Let's check them out
Apparently, a Xbox Two leak was found on Reddit by PCGamesN. The source for this leak isn't very clear, but many seem to believe that the information is legit. It is believed that the leak is related to the Xbox Scarlett.
The leak does share some details about the console. The image reveals that the next Xbox console could come with a discrete graphics chip. Therefore, the console would have the CPU separate from graphics. This is very unusual for a console, and it is something that we used to see in gaming PCs. It would mean that the graphics capabilities of the Xbox Scarlett would be similar to the ones of a PC.
If that turns out to be true, then we can expect a major price rise for the next Microsoft console. It remains to see if the Xbox Scarlett will actually bring these changes or not.
Is it legit?
Reddit user AmericanCakes shared the image with the others. According to the user, the picture was found on the PlayStation 5 subreddit, as well as the Xbox One subreddit. A message was sent to the original poster of the image, and it remains to see whether there will be a response. If he or she won't answer, it's safe to say that the information is fake.

Please let me know if you have districts that are going on spring break next week and are also involved with CBT and have student responses that are in recovery.
On Wednesday, you provided me with news on recoveries in your regions—this was a helpful view of what is still outstanding.
We are trying to keep track of schools/students that need responses recovered and escalate with Questar.
For the last three days, we've asked schools that they contact us directly to have us escalate with Questar.
Unfortunately,some schools are not receiving confirmation of recoveries completed.
Schools are checking themselves each morning. We apologize for this gap in communication to schools about this very important process and status.
Schools should continue to check Nextera Admin for recovered responses.
Please do encourage schools to share their CBT experience, including their difficulties, but we also want to encourage them to share ideas about enhancements and what else they may need to improve administration of CBT in their schools.
Can we do Mondays and Tuesdays even though we still have make-up testing happening for students who have recovered responses?
Alternate Language for students who are also in Math: alternate languages cannot be set while the ELA test window is open.
Will be able to set an alternate language for students who are in both the CBT ELA and Math administrations on Wednesday, May 25.
N/A bug with forms assignment (one school has reported this): If you see this instead of the "Set" link on the Tests tab, please contact Questar Customer Support.
Highlighter and Answer Eliminator not sticking upon pause: this was a known issue form last year and has resurfaced again this year. We will post a Known Issue about this.
Pausing and student responses disappearing: how have your schools handled the new pause-test instruction?
Schools that want to revert to math can do so--contact your RIC for details. | {

Interpublic's Mediabrands Vows to Raise Ad Budgets for Black-Owned Media by 2023
Big advertisers like General Motors and Target say they intend to pay more attention to Black-owned media outlets. Now Interpublic Group, one of the nation's biggest advertising companies, intends to follow suit.
Interpublic's large Mediabrands media-buying unit said Friday it expected to spend "a minimum of 5%" of its clients' ad budgets in Black-owned media by 2023, the latest in a series of efforts by big advertisers and Madison Avenue agencies to correct decades of disparity between what is spent in traditional mainstream media and what is allocated for media outlets owned by entrepreneurs from a variety of backgrounds. The move follows a recent "upfront" meeting Mediabrands organized to bring owners of Black-owned outlets like Urban One and Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios together with some of its ad clients, which include Aetna/CVS, American Express, Johnson & Johnson and BMW.
"The time is past due to embrace the opportunities to connect with influential audiences through Black-owned media," said Daryl Lee, Mediabrands' global CEO. "Innovation and growth are flourishing across Black-owned media outlets, providing brands with deeply authentic ways to reach diverse audiences in a supportive, meaningful manner. We are excited to be adding our voice to a growing industry conversation in support of greater diversity and equity in media spend."
In recent weeks, General Motors, Target, Hyundai and others have expressed new interest in widening the work they do with advertising agencies and media outlets owned by people of color. Some of it is spurred by the national reckoning over last year's killing of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police. And some of it has come under pressure. A group of Black entrepreneurs took out full-page newspaper ads in The Wall Street Journal and The Detroit Free Press asking why GM didn't spend more money in outlets owned by Black executives. GM has pledged to raise its allocation of ad dollars to Black-owned outlets to 8% by 2025.
Executives from the Black-owned outlets have in recent weeks expressed hope that big advertisers will follow up on their promises. But they are also wary. Some of the entrepreneurs have heard these sorts of promises in the past, yet noticed that concrete steps are often hard to make after the publicity from the announcements fades.
Getting more ad dollars can be tough for entrepreneurs of color. Big advertisers increasingly reserve the bulk of their ad spend for big, traditional outlets like ViacomCBS, Disney or NBCUniversal, where they can leverage millions of dollars in advertising across many different outlets, each of which aims to reach a different consumer niche. And big advertisers often protest that the smaller outlets don't reach the masses of audiences they need to make ad spending efficient.
But these are days when technology is spurring big marketers to refine their pitches for smaller crowds — say, expectant mothers, or first-time car buyers. With that in mind, some of the entrepreneurs note, there's little room for using size as a means of deflection.
Mediabrands said recent research showed that the U.S. Black consumer base stands at around 48 million people, with an average age of 32 representing $1.4 trillion in buying power. "We have been working with our clients to match client business goals with the authentic reach and engagement of these properties," said Dani Benowitz, president, U.S. of Magna, a media-research unit that is part of Mediabrands, in a statement. "We are confident that embracing a new framework for equity investment in media will deliver tangible returns for our clients and provide opportunities to redefine a media ecosystem where all audiences feel welcomed and included."

Q: ASP.NET - Streaming vs Downloading - forward requests We are abstracting the filestore for our ASP.NET application, the file can be served from file system or S3 or any other filestore. Now for the filestore other than filesystem we need to send a request to get the file and serve it. Used two approaches:
*
*Download the file completely and serve it along with Content-Length header
or
*Pass the stream to the response in this case Transfer-Encoding: chunked is sent along with the request
Our data includes thousands of js/css/images/mp3 files. Each JS/CSS/image file is usually in KB's, audio files may be in MB's
Should we go with streaming or downloading approach? Don't want to do a mix to avoid complexity.
What is the file size boundary after which one should use streaming instead of downloading?

Mozambique 1997
Mozambique is a country located in Africa. According to AbbreviationFinder, MZ is the two-letter ISO code of Mozambique, and MOZ is the three-letter country abbreviation for Mozambique.
Mozambique. According to Countryaah, the national day of Mozambique is June 25. The Swedish government increased aid to Mozambique to help the country pay off its large debts. Mozambique, one of the world's poorest and most debt-ridden countries, received in 1997 two-thirds of its debt written off by the Paris Club – a lender of several countries. However, the debts were still large and amounted to three times more than the country's GDP.
At the presidential election on December 22, 2004, Frelimo's candidate, Armando Guebuza became the victor with 64% of the vote. the official count. Still, Renamo characterized the election as characterized by scams. Acc. Javier Pomés, head of the EU Election Observation Corps, was in the process of a number of irregularities, although he did not think the irregularities were sufficiently extensive to warrant cancellation of the result. One of the irregularities was that the number of votes cast at some polling stations exceeded the number of voters on these tables' lists. The President of Renamo's Election Council, Antonio Namburete, declared that he could not approve the election result. Chissano, in turn, called on the opposition to take its seats in parliament with "dignity" and to make its contribution to the country's development.
According to new statistics from the Interparliamentary Union (UPI) in early 2005, Mozambique stands at 35% in second place after Rwanda in terms of female representation in world parliaments. At the same time, it is one of the few countries in the world where the post of Prime Minister or Prime Minister is held by a woman. At the same time, the country's government consists of 6 women ministers, 4 deputy ministers and 2 governors.
Five years after the murder of journalist Carlos Cardoso, Aníbal «Anibalzinho» dos Santos reported in December 2005. It happened after it mysteriously disappeared twice from prison in court during the trial. In January 2006, Anibalzinho was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
In 2006, the country carried out a money exchange, in which the country's currency Metical cleared 3 zeros. So 1000 old Meticals went on one new one.
In February 2006, the IMF questioned Mozambique's mega projects such as Mozal (an aluminum plant), HCB (one of Africa's largest hydropower plants) and the oil company Sasol. Acc. The IMF needed to manage these large projects closely to avoid corruption. The IMF also estimated that since the projects are in special economic zones, the revenue for the state will be marginal.
The extensive rainfall in the first weeks of February 2007 led to extensive flooding throughout the country. Acc. UN calculations 40,000 hectares of crops were completely destroyed while many others were affected. Several hundred died during the natural disaster, and 80,000 had to flee. At the end of the same month, Hurricane Fabio hit Mozambique with a wind speed of up to 200km/hour. It further aggravated the situation and increased the number of refugees to 100,000. The World Food Organization declared the country a disaster area and asked the world community for disaster relief to alleviate the already serious situation.
In May 2009, Parliament passed a new electoral law based on the experience of the local elections in 2003. In October, Guebuza was re-elected president with 64% of the vote, while his counterpart Afonso Dhlakama from Renamo got 32%. Frelimo captured 160 seats in parliament, while a coalition of Renamo and smaller parties conquered the remaining 90 seats.
Shopareview: Offers climate information of Mozambique in Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, covering maximum and minimum temperature for each of 12 months. Also includes when is best time to visit this country.
From 2009, Portuguese began to flow to Mozambique, as they did to Angola: on the run from the deep economic crisis in Portugal. By 2003, over 20,000 had emigrated to the former Portuguese colony.
In September 2010. protests in the provinces of Maputo and Manica came against rising food prices. 14 protesters were killed and more than 400 injured. Police defended themselves with running out of rubber bullets. 140 were arrested for calling for the protests, but all cases had to be dropped due to lack of evidence. As a result of the killings, the Minister of the Interior was removed from the post in October – and instead made Minister of Agriculture.
For many years, Mozambique has been plagued by corruption and bribery. In July 2011, the government passed new laws against bribery, corruption and theft of public funds. This happened after two ministers in the previous 2 years had been convicted of bribery. In March 2012, Calisto Alberto Tomo, Director of the Anti-Drugs Office of Southern Mozambique, was found guilty of theft of public funds along with the treasurer of the office.

Wazir Movie Review
Loads of Thrill backed by Predictable Climax along with powerful performances can make a good weekend watch
The filmmakers – Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Bejoy Nambiar has come together to make a film called Wazir, which is all set to hit the theatres this Friday. The film has an interesting star cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar and Aditi Rao Hydari in the lead roles. The film revolves around the life of a suspended cop called Danish Ali played by Farhan whose daughter is killed by a terrorist for which her wife Ruhana Ali played by Aditi Rao Hydari blames him for the same. The film is directed by Bejoy Nambiar, while it is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra under the banner of Vinod Chopra Productions in alliance with Reliance Entertainment. Let's check the crux of this film as under:
Plot/Story
Danish Ali is a suspended office who grieves a lot for losing her four year daughter who was killed in a shootout, thanks to his callousness. His wife – Aditi Rao blames for this mishap to her husband and soon he is suspended once he is seen crossing the botches to catch the terrorist who was behind killing his daughter. He is also seen contemplating suicides, however, defers his decision once he encounters a chess champion called Panditji played by Amitabh Bachchan. This man has lost both his legs along with his wife in an accident. The two are seen bonding over the game of chess and soon their friendship is seen growing up. Pandjitji asks Danish to start the investigation of the accident taking place at the Minister's place played by Manav Kaul. He suspects the minister to be behind the death of his daughter. For his friendship bond, Danish is seen taking up the investigation, which is closed by the police department. As he intensifies his investigations, Pandjitji is attacked by an unknown man called Wazir. Danish comes in the mid way to save his friend. What, happens next, who is this man Wazir is interesting to explore.
Script Analysis
The film starts with a great gusto making the film very much intriguing and captivating that generates loads of attention. You find the idyllic life of a police officer family crashing down in a tragedy. Thus the first half seems very much captivating with loads of stuff being seen over the silver screen like the unforeseen tragedy strikes without adding any frills in the scene. However, the second half seems dramatically dismaying as the film becomes very much predictable giving an usual climax making things to stretch for long. The thriller is similar to a chess game, which makes the similar to the chess moves; however, the film has more often a predictable move.
The director is seen covering the secret of the film with a see thru blanket, however, the way he dealt with the character of the minister is really weird. In fact, this was the very character that he could have played the best losing the curtain very much early in the film. The film has certain factual errors like how a suspended cop manages to do a number of things like phone tapping of the minister to nakabandi etc in order to nail the criminal, also the on and off to the present and flashback doge is also very much perplexing for the audience giving them a feeling that the film is a blend of Talash and Kahani. The character of John Abraham is a big waste in the film though Neil Nitin Mukesh proves out to be a great savoir in the film.
Star Performances
Let's start with Amitabh Bachchan, in fact, in this film Big B is the best thing to have. Big B simply has lived the character of a grief stricken father who is out for a revenge showcasing some of the incredible emotion precision. The amount of dexterity Mr. Bachchan has drawn for this character is simply mind blowing. Giving him the right support, Farhan Akhtar is not lagging behind while playing the character of a suspended police officer. With his incredible performance, he has once again proved that he is a competent actor in B Town and can act any character of his choice with utter perfection and professionalism. The rest of the characters are short lived and has not much to convey. Aditi Roy Hydari has not much to showcase except her smile wherein she looks simply gorgeous and curious. Also, Manav Kaul while playing the character of the Minister too has not much to display.
Direction, Editing, Screenplay and other technical stuff
Looking at the overall picture, direction seems to be okay, as Nambiar has managed to play good with the subject of thrill and suspense the best though he may be lagging behind with few things but that can be considered. The other elements like Music, Editing, screenplay and technical stuff has together been okay, which have helped to boosts up the entertainment value. The overall picture of the film is good and competitive and a good option of film to start this year 2016.
Wazir Review – The Last Word
The film can give you a number of reasons to watch, right from the soothing performance of Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar to an intriguing suspense thrill it encompasses to music and a number of other elements that can make a great difference. Luckily the director is seen focusing over the dramatic presentation of certain realistic scenes. However, what defies this element is good amount of groan worthy clichés, the predictable plot along with certain factual errors giving the audience very minimal of stuff to predict and enjoy a perfect thriller.

Q: Why does horizontal space after ampersand becomes less? Why does the space after the equals sign becomes less if I use the lower code, i.e., if I put ampersand after equals sign?
\begin{align*}
A&=B
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
A=&B
\end{align*}
A: If a binary relation such as = is used in an infix position it gets extra space [$a=b$] but of used as a prefix or suffix operator it reverts to mathord spacing compare [$=a$] and [$a=$].
The align environment is intended to be used as &= and adds a {} to the start of the second cell so that &B is typeset as {}=B to ensure that you get the \mathrel spacing.
If you need =& for a special alignment and want to keep the space use ={}&
A: While the question was about the AMS math environments, it's as good a place as any to offer the compare/contrast to the tabbing features of the tabstackengine package. While the package stacks tabbed content, by default, in text mode, an invocation of \stackMath will process arguments in math, and then a comparable alignment situation arises as David pointed out for the AMS environments.
The package provides three math padding modes, \TABbinaryRight which acts as if a {} is added to the end of each cell (this is the package default, which is the opposite of the AMS environment); \TABbinaryLeft which acts as if a {} is added to the beginning of each cell; and \TABbinary which acts as if a {} is added to the beginning and end of each cell.
The choice will affect the spacing around operators and relations, as shown in the MWE. So, as a general rule, with \TABbinaryRight as the default, one would use =& as the tabstackengine syntax to produce the "typically" desired result.

VH: Chapter 94
Back in his room, Li Zhao sat on the sofa and silently took out 'Book of Treasured Wisdom on Love' from the drawer. As long as his effort was deep, Ting Ting would surely be moved. He hadn't even turned two pages of the book when Li Zhao received a message from Yao Yuguang.
[Yao Yuguang: Brother, I found another photo. Take a look.]
Li Zhao opened the photo sent by Yao Yuguang and fell silent. This was the photo of a large family. In the middle was an old couple with grey hair. The body standing on their right stood upright, no childishness on his angelic face.
Behind him stood a young couple. They were a smiling man and a woman in a cheongsam. Her head was slightly down and she was staring at the boy in front of her like she was worried.
[Yao Yuguang: In order to find this photo, I opened all the jewellery cabinets in my mother's room.]
[Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: Thank you.]
He stared at this photo for a long time before using photoshop software to keep the image of Ting Ting alone. All he wanted was what Ting Ting looked like when he was a child. Li Zhao didn't want those who brought painful memories to Ting Ting. A lot of self-righteous care and troubles was just acting for themselves.
[Yao Yuguang: Looking at my hard work, can you accept me as a younger brother? If not, I can ask again next time.]
[Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: Get lost!]
[Yao Yuguang: Okay.]
After Yao Yuguang sent this, Li Zhao continued to look at the love book. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the person who wrote this book must've never been in love. If Li Zhao really followed the method in this book then he would be sickened to death before he got Ting Ting.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Li Zhao glanced at his ordinary clothes and remembered that he said he was going to take a bath. Yet he hadn't even changed his clothes. He hurried to change into his pyjamas.
Yan Ting knocked on the door and waited a while, but Li Zhao still didn't come to open the door for him.
Chagrin and self-blame appeared on the calm face. Was Zhao Zhao angry with him? Yan Ting turned to look at the stairs and saw the housekeeper standing there with a smile. Even the chef aunty was standing downstairs to wait for the result.
The people in the house were all taken by Zhao Zhao and everyone was infected by his lively personality. A year ago, they didn't dare say a word in front of Yan Ting. Now they were all watching the show.
Li Zhao changed his clothes and opened the door to meet Yan Ting's eyes. To his surprise, Yan Ting was holding a bunch of flowers. Baby's breath? Did Ting Ting finally go to the circle of friends and open the article on the meaning of flowers? Then did he come with the baby's breath to reject Li Zhao's intentions? No, that wasn't right. This bouquet of flowers wasn't the one he had given to Ting Ting. It looked twice the size.
"This bouquet of flowers… I'll give it to you." Yan Ting wasn't sure if Li Zhao's meaning was what he thought. However, what if it was?
He was afraid that Zhao Zhao would be sad at not getting a response.
Li Zhao took the flowers and rubbed his toes against the floor. "Do you know… what the meaning of baby's breath is?"
"What do you mean by giving the baby's breath to me?" Li Zhao's eyes shone.
Yan Ting had never been so nervous. "I…"
The words hadn't been spoken yet when Li Zhao grabbed his hand first. "You don't speak first."
Yan Ting stopped and watched him.
"I think… this brotherly relationship can no longer meet our emotional needs." Li Zhao coughed. "You have received my savings card. Not everyone can do that, right?"
Yan Ting opened his mouth, wanting to say 'I will spend a lifetime with you. However, at this moment, not a single word would come out. He had been wanting something for so long that once it became a reality, Yan Ting started to feel afraid, afraid that this was just his imagination.
It was just like when he was young. He always woke up from his sleep to see his long-dead mother sitting on his bed and talking to him. He had told his grandparents about this and they looked at him with contradictory feelings of disgust and pity.
Later, he came to understand that he had lost his mother a long time ago. His brain seemed to be divided into two halves. Half could always produce all types of illusory images while the other half was soberly telling him that most of the world was false. Perhaps… Zhao Zhao confessing to him at this moment was also imagined by him.
Li Zhao saw Yan Ting staring at him in a silly manner and laughed. "Silence is default agreement, default agreement is consent. From today on, we aren't good brothers. We have an impure male-male relationship, right?"
Yan Ting nodded.
Li Zhao put the bouquet on the ground and opened his arms. "Shouldn't we embrace to celebrate the upgrading of our feelings?"
Looking at Li Zhao with his arms wide open, Yan Ting reached out and pulled Li Zhao into his arms. Even if this was all imagined by himself, he was going to enjoy it.
Previously, Li Zhao hadn't felt anything when placing an arm around Yan Ting's shoulders. Now he was somewhat shy as he stretched out his hands around Yan Ting's waist. The drifting sailboat finally found the right port for him and decided to stay here.
The two of them hugged for a while. Then Li Zhao smiled at Yan Ting. "It's so good."
God was really good to him. He liked Ting Ting and Ting Ting also liked him back. Then he noticed the housekeeper uncle peeking around the corner. Once the housekeeper was found, he gave a thumbs up.
Li Zhao, "……"
Housekeeper uncle, you're so naughty. Li Zhao reached out a hand and pulled Yan Ting into the room. Then he closed the door and pressed Yan Ting onto the bed to sit down. Yan Ting looked at the bed and then Li Zhao, who was looking down at him. The Li Zhao in his imagination was so wild. Would he soon…
"Are you still in a daze?" Li Zhao reached out and poked Yan Ting's face. Then he suddenly leaned forward and his lips gently touched Yan Ting's face.
Yan Ting was shocked.
"Hahaha, Ting Ting, you're so cute." Li Zhao was amused by Yan Ting's appearance. "If you are like this then I really want to put you into my pocket."
Yan Ting always thought that he had nothing to do with cuteness.
"I gave you the book on the meaning of flowers. Didn't you read it?"
Yan Ting remembers that he had flipped through it a few times but he just thought Li Zhao liked these flowers. It was why in recent days, all the flowers in the vases were baby's breath.
"I also gave you the slippers and cups. Didn't you think of other meanings?" Li Zhao felt that his hints were obvious enough."
"You bought two identical brotherly outfits a while ago." Yan Ting watched Li Zhao. How could he dare think of anything else? He was afraid it would be an empty dream. Finally, he wouldn't be able to control his emotions and would hurt Zhao Zhao.
It seemed that there was indeed such a thing. It turned out that he had pitted himself.
"Zhao Zhao." Yan Ting stared at Li Zhao. "I like you."
No matter if the current Li Zhao was real or false, it was only at this moment that Yan Ting dared to speak his heart.
"What a coincidence. I also like you." Li Zhao's eyes curved. "My favourite person is you."
Yan Ting smiled.
"Don't smile." Li Zhao covered his eyes. "Every time you smile like this, my heart becomes evil and I want to do something below the neck. We just fell in love and can't proceed so quickly."
Yan Ting removed Li Zhao's hand covering his hands and looked at Li Zhao with great earnestness. "Zhao Zhao, from today on, I won't let you go."
No matter if this was reality or an illusion, the beast in his heart had been released and no one could stop it.
"Then don't lose me." Li Zhao smiled. "Otherwise, I can only find my way back."
Yan Ting held Li Zhao's hand tightly.
The confession was successful and Li Zhao was so happy that he couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, he got up and threw books like Book of Treasured Wisdom on Love and 36 Ways to Confess into the trash can. There was no future following these things. Only practicing would produce miracles!
Yan Ting returned to his room, took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor from his desk drawer and opened it, but he didn't eat it. If all of this was his imagination then he wanted it to last longer and longer. He returned the medicine and opened the recording on his phone.
"One dumpling…"
He suddenly realized that he had known Zhao Zhao for nearly a year. This recording had accompanied him through countless days and nights, allowing him to get some sleep at night. Such a good Zhao Zhao, how could Yan Ting be willing to let him go and belong to someone else?
After waking up in the morning, Yan Ting opened the curtains and his eyes fell on Li Zhao in the yard. It was a dream and he woke up.
"Ting Ting." Li Zhao saw the curtains in Yan Ting's room opening and stopped running to wave at Yan Ting. "Come down and run together."
Yan Ting changed his clothes and went downstairs. Li Zhao immediately walked up to him and kissed him on the face. "Good morning, my boyfriend."
The touch on his cheeks was soft, sweet and very real. All of this… wasn't his imagination? Zhao Zhao really liked him as well?
"Are you dazed again?" Li Zhao took his hand and walked outside. It seemed that his charm was too big so that Ting Ting was shrouded in the aura of love and looked a bit silly.
The shocked Yan Ting finished running with Li Zhao, the disbelieving Yan Ting finished breakfast in ecstasy and he finally insisted on sending Li Zhao to the crew to prevent Li Zhao from going alone.
"The sense of ritual after falling in love must be there." Li Zhao nodded. "Today, you send me to the crew and I'll come pick you up at night."
Yan Ting looked at the sun rising outside the window and held Li Zhao's hand.
On the way to the crew, the green trees on both sides of the road were vibrant and the flowers in the flower beds bloomed brightly. The little children jumped cutely behind their parents on their short legs.
It turned out that the world was so beautiful.
After arriving at the crew, Li Zhao took advantage of when the staff wasn't paying attention to bend toward the window and whisper to Yan Ting, "Dear, see you tonight."
D-Dear…
Yan Ting's face was somewhat red as he kept nodding. "Okay."
"Hehe." Li Zhao jumped away. He walked a certain distance before turning back to wave at Yan Ting. He was like a dog who had stolen food.
"Zhao Zhao's filming state today is very good. I was worried that after the breakup scene last night, he wouldn't be able to enter the right state. I didn't expect this love scene to be so sweet." The director looked at the scene on the monitor. "Once the movie is released, I don't know how many girls will call him their boyfriend."
"This feeling is good. The more the audiences like him, the higher our box office." The assistant quipped. "It is our crew who will make money."
This movie was called Seven Boyfriends but only four boyfriends were involved in the main plot. The other three only had a few shots. Originally, Li Zhao's scenes were ranked third among the four boyfriends. However, while filming, the director and screenwriter added several scenes for him and he could now be ranked second.
After shooting the morning scene, Liu Fen saw Li Zhao eating without his phone leaving his hand, the smile constantly on his face. She couldn't help whispering to him, "So happy, did something good happen? Saying it will also make me happy."
"Hehehe." Li Zhao scratched his head and laughed.
"I get it." Liu Fen formed fists with both hands. "Congratulations."
"Thank you, thank you." Li Zhao smiled more happily
Seeing Li Zhao so happy, Liu Fen also couldn't help smiling. She had long seen that the gentleman's affection for Li Zhao wasn't ordinary. It was only a matter of time until Li Zhao was with him. It was probably only Li Zhao, this little fool, who didn't know that the gentleman already had feelings for him.
Alas, other people's dog food was always very sweet. Still, it was easy to eat.
The moment Qin Xiao arrived at the company, he received a transfer of money. The one who transferred it to him was Yan Ting.
Qin Xiao didn't understand what this meant but he still collected the money. The boss' money would always be collected, as long as it wasn't a severance payment. In the afternoon, Qin Xiao felt that something was wrong. It was almost dinner time. Shouldn't the boss be getting off from work to accompany Li Zhao to eat dinner together?
"Sir, it is 6 o'clock. Do you need me to arrange a car for you to go back?"
"No need." Yan Ting looked up at Qin. "My boyfriend is coming to pick me up."
Qin Xiao was pushing up his glasses and he almost poked himself in the eyes. Boyfriend?
"Congratulations, Sir. A man like you, your boyfriend must love you very much."
"Yes." Yan Ting closed the folder. "He said he will live with me for the rest of his life."
Qin Xiao, "…"
He was now certain that the boss was showing off love to him. Before he could say a few more words, the boss' phone rang. Upon hearing the boss' gentle tone, Qin Xiao knew that Li Zhao was downstairs. That night, Qin Xiao saw the boss add another piece of content to his circle of friends. It was a photo of a candlelight dinner.
Who said that successful people didn't like to show off? The reason they didn't show off was because they didn't encounter anything they wanted to show off. Once they did…
They were ostentatious.
He sent into the Weibo account of the boss that hadn't been used since being certified.
20 minutes ago, this Weibo account called Mr Yan updated its first Weibo content, a photo of a candlelight dinner.
Sure enough, Qin Xiao wasn't surprised at all.
The comments area was full of exaggerated praise from Canghuan's employees. They were all saying the photo was taken to be artistic and the food looked delicious.
Bah! What nonsense. They couldn't even praise the right area.
He typed out a comment.
[Qin Xiao: Sir, the photo of you dining with your lover is really sweet and warm. The dog food today is a bit sweet.]
Chickens, learn from this!
[Mr Yan replied to Qin Xiao: The child likes it.]
The Canghuan employee: ???
The boss had a lover? It was certified by Special Assistant Qin? Was there the boss' wife?
Everyone was in an uproar. That night, speculation about the future boss' wife spread from the head office down to the branch. Even the overseas branches knew that the big boss was in love. Who was the great person who could win the mysterious big boss and allow the boss to send a photo to Weibo to show affection?
Look at what the boss called his lover: child. How sweet and spoiled was it to use this type of name? The future boss' wife was too amazing, too amazing!
Even the gossip reporters released the news that Canghuan was about to usher in a boss' wife. It was a pity that although Canghuan was a large enterprise that had been handed for a century, the audience wasn't interested in the boss' love matter. They were only interested in the grievances of the rich.
It was the boss and Li Zhao CP fans who were secretly heartbroken. This CP flower hadn't even blossomed when it had withered. Of course, there were some CP fans who were good at understanding. They said the name 'child' couldn't prove the gender of the boss' lover. Couldn't this 'child' be Zhao Zhao? Thinking like this, it seemed to be even sweeter. This guess was too absurd and even the CP fans couldn't lie to themselves. Ah, supporting a CP was really hard.
Yao Yuguang, who wanted to hold Li Zhao's thigh, jumped out of bed with horror when he saw this. Yan Ting took the initiative to show affection. What was the difference with the sun rising in the rest?
Li Zhao was too awesome!
Gou Sheng, who had a conflict with Li Zhao some time ago and whose family business had been suffering lately, shook his head and sighed. Out of everyone he had to provoke, he just had to provoke Yan Ting's man. It was truly hanging oneself.
Song Yu also saw this Weibo post. He found that Yan Ting's Weibo account only followed 10 accounts, one of which was Li Zhao. Perhaps it was because the marketing accounts and entertainment reporters didn't dare spread Yan Ting's scandal but no one published news about it.
This was also good, lest black fans said that Li Zhao relied on his face. He hadn't been relieved for long when Li Zhao's Weibo also updated.
Li Zhao V: The moon tonight is beautiful.
Song Yu's heart: Ahhhhh!
Why did Li Zhao send such an old-fashioned thing to Weibo? These days, who didn't know the other meaning of the moon was beautiful? If this came out, Li Zhao's road was over.
Song Yu, whose hands shook as he opened the comments area, "……"
What was going on with these fans? Why were they all sending Li Zhao photos of the moon?
That's right. Apart from anyone with knowledge, who would think that Li Zhao and Canghuan's boss were a pair.
In order to have more time to accompany Yan Ting, Li Zhao made special efforts in filming these days, striving to finish the filming earlier before the university's military training started.
Just as he was about to finish his scenes, he suddenly became popular.
It was because a famous 'Ms Perfect (fair-skinned, rich and beautiful)' stated on Weibo that she wanted Li Zhao to be the male lead of her new drama.
This Ms Perfect's family was rich and powerful while she looked beautiful. Her family also opened a big entertainment company and many people in the circle wanted her attention.
Two years ago, this young lady invested in a TV series for herself. She played the heroine, who was a powerful woman in the Qing Dynasty. The first, second and third male leads lived and died for her, all of them clashing for her.
It was a pity that although her face value was good, her acting skills were really worrying. That's why the drama was a bit miserable after it aired.
Even so, the actors who worked with her didn't dare to complain. In front of the media, they praised her dedication and seriousness.
It was because apart from being dedicated and serious, there was nothing else to praise. They couldn't praise her good acting.
"This Qian Jian is really interesting. She wants to work with you but she doesn't send the script to your studio or discuss things with your agent. What does it mean to talk directly to the media?" Liu Fen was disgusted by this move. There wasn't even the basic respect.
Perhaps in the eyes of this young lady, an actor with no background wasn't worthy of respect at all.
If Li Zhao dared to refuse then she would ensure that LI Zhao couldn't mix into the entertainment circle in the future.
If Li Zhao agreed, everyone might mock Li Zhao in the future.
As the crew looked at him sympathetically, Li Zhao's studio posted something on Weibo.
Li Zhao's Studio V: Zhao Zhao's work plan has already been scheduled for the next year. If you want to cooperate then please contact the studio, don't spread rumours. Everyone, don't believe in rumours.
The author has something to say:
At five o'clock in the afternoon, kindergarten ended but Baby Ting Ting was unwilling to leave the classroom.
The teacher asked: Ting Ting, why aren't you leaving?
Baby Ting Ting: Someone is coming to pick me up today. I'll wait for him.
The teacher: Who?
Baby Ting Ting proudly puffed up his chest: My boyfriend!
Congratulations to Ting Ting and Zhao Zhao! My babies have finally officially gotten together!! May you both find happiness together for the rest of your lives! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Thank you for translating!!

Friday morning, sun breaking over the trees, the grass glistening, my boy John Lee chipper about heading off to school and the day seems ripe with possibilities. A perfect time for the hippie anthem "Life is Large" by the Kennedy's.
How can you say no to the jingle-jangle urgings of the Kennedy's? They're a husband and wife team – part folk duo, part travelling show – based in the East Village who, as their personal legend tells it, celebrated their first date by visiting Buddy Holly's grave. This song embodies the spirit of Buddy Holly's bursts of pop magic. Maura takes the lead vocals with vocal harmonies coming from Pete and friends Peter Hosapple (of the dbs), John Gorka and Susan Cowsill (of the Cowsills), all sounding as if they've never had so much fun before in their lives. Imagine a movie musical parade carousing down Main Street and their calling everyone to come along. That's Pete Kennedy leading the throng with his guitar and Maura high-stepping to her own vocals. Hey, that's Roger McGuinn(of the Byrds) riding in the float playing his 12-string guitar. | {

High Electrical Bills?
Learn the common causes and how to avoid them
(Photograph by Pololia/stock.adobe.com)
Juan D. Alfonso
While the winter holidays may be over, frigid weather continues to impact much of the country. With the cold comes higher electric bills, and the increase typically brings some not so happy utility consumers.
"Frustration is probably more frequent than anger," says Jeff Marshall, communications specialist with Clearwater Power in Lewiston, Idaho. "The most common calls we get are from people who went on vacation during the winter and came back home to higher bills than they were expecting. They say they turned everything off, and that's when I have to tell them, 'The home doesn't know whether or not it's occupied.'"
While lights and electronics can be turned off, many home devices operate completely independently. Refrigerators, water heaters and central heating systems continuously draw power from the electrical grid.
"We are very conscious of TV, lights and the devices we constantly use, but they just aren't a significant part of the power bill," Jeff says. "An unoccupied home loses its TV, light and washer load, but it is still keeping the home warm."
According to Jeff, the lion's share of an electric bill comes from the water heater and central heating unit, which continuously draw energy even when the thermostat is turned down.
"People will think their heat is off," Jeff says, "but it's pretty rare for it to actually be off. 55 degrees tend to be as low as the thermostat goes. You can turn both of these appliances off at the breaker box, but a lot of people think that not using something electrical is the same thing as being turned off."
Another common misconception is when consumers keep their thermostats at the same temperature year-round and expect the bill to remain consistent.
"We get a lot of snowbirds who leave their home around 60 and expect their bill to be drastically cheaper," says Kelly Jackson, senior member services specialist with Mt. Wheeler Power Inc. in Nevada. "But it gets so cold that their heater works hard to maintain what they think is pretty cold to begin with."
However, there are some cases where excess energy consumption does occur.
"I was getting ready to bill a member when I noticed her bill went from $210 in September to $500 in October," Kelly says. "I spoke to her, we investigated it and turns out the heater in their home needed to be replaced."
What Kelly did was not unusual, according to Christina Sawyer, internal communications specialist at Mt. Wheeler Power.
"We do take the time to look at the higher bills before they go out to the member so we can discuss what might be happening," Christina says. "It's part of our customer service procedures, so they are prepared for these larger bills and we can have a discussion about how to make things easier for them."
A common complaint utilities face is when consumers claim their bill is much higher than it was in previous years or previous months when temperatures were similar. Comparing past bills with the consumer is a common industry practice.
"A lot of people come to us very confused as to why their bill is so high," Kelly says. "But when we compare their most recent bill to the previous year's usage, it turns out to be pretty comparable. I think most people just forget because of the lower bills in the summer months."
"Another part that leads to confusion is that we bill them for the previous month's usage. They get their September usage bill in October and assume that because October and November had similar weather, their bill will be about the same."
Many consumers are surprised when their new, energy-efficient homes cost far more to power than they were expecting.
"It's called Jevons Paradox," Jeff says. "When you have a more efficient device, you tend to use it more freely. For example, heat pumps use less power than a furnace, so people with heat pumps will make their home warmer than they would with a less efficient system. This eats into their savings and ends up costing them more in the long run. Newer houses have better insulation and windows. All of those things have savings, but the alarm in the back of your head is just quieter. You use it more and you'll light places that aren't normally lit."
Vampire or phantom loads from smart TVs, gaming consoles and other electronics may also drive up the electric bill.
"Manufacturers are invested in creating devices that load more quickly and efficiently," Jeff says. "On the flip side, these devices are always turned on and absorbing power from the grid. When you turn a dishwasher off, it's off, but a lot of electronics are never turned off."
An easy solution to vampire loads is buying a smart power strip. Jeff recommends the Trickle Star advanced power strips. These smart strips detect when electronic devices are in an off or standby state, and cuts their connection to the outlet.
Another way to reduce the electric bill is by inviting friends and family over. The ambient body heat produced by each person will heat the home, allowing for a much lower thermostat setting.
"I was at a conference once where the staff lowered the heat below 60 36 hours before the event in anticipation of what happens when you have 500 people in a room," Jeff says. "If the thermostat had been 68 degrees, the room would have easily heated past 80. Don't underestimate the cost savings of people in your home."
Lastly, Jeff wants everyone to know that lighting isn't that big of a deal.
"Don't be afraid of lights," he says. "They really don't use up a lot of energy. Switching CFLs to LEDs, the savings are only about a quarter. It would take years to recoup that investment."
Tips for Reducing Your Electrical Bill
Lower the temperature when you are not at home and before going to bed. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates 1% savings for every eight hours you lower the thermostat.
Dust your refrigerator. Your refrigerator is working much harder if the coils are covered in dust.
Replace your filters. Dirty filters force your air conditioner or heater to work harder to push air through the vent and uses more energy.
Nuke it. Cooking with a microwave or an electric skillet consumes far less energy than your oven.
Plant trees. Plants around your home generate shade during the warm months of the year, reducing your air conditioning needs. Planting trees with leaves that fall during the winter will increase sunlight and reduce your warming needs when it is cold.
Buy energy-efficient appliances. Replacing decades-old inefficient appliances with smart ones can save hundreds of dollars a year.
Install a ceiling fan. Fans move air around the room without actually cooling it. This provides a significant reduction in energy use while keeping your home comfortable when it is warm.
Cover air leaks. Caulk cracks and openings in your home to keep the warm air in during the winter and out during the summer.
Seal air ducts. Air loss from unsealed ducts can be responsible for up to 30% of your electric bill.
Don't open the oven. Opening your oven door while baking or cooking can reduce the internal temperature by 25 degrees. Turn your oven off 5 minutes before your meal is done to allow the ambient heat to finish the cooking. | {

The Pickens County Sheriff's Office is investigating an alleged kidnapping and seeking information about a suspect after a woman was found stranded near an Upstate highway on Sunday.
Pickens County deputies were called around 12:30 p.m. Sunday by the Oconee County Sheriff's Office in reference to an abandoned Jeep Cherokee registered to a Pickens County resident.
Deputies said the vehicle was found on the side of Highway 183 near the Oconee Nuclear Station in Oconee County. The owner of the vehicle, a 66-year-old woman, was found nearby.
Deputies said the woman reported she was abducted by an unknown male wearing an orange mask while she was attempting to enter her vehicle at her home on Holly Springs Road in Pickens County.
The woman told deputies the man forced her to drive him to various locations near the lake around 11 a.m. Sunday before he made her stop on Highway 183 and exit the vehicle.
Deputies said the man forced the victim to go through a wooded area to the water's edge where he pushed her into the lake.
A security officer from the Oconee Nuclear Station later saw the victim in the water near the property and was able to assist her, according to a release from the Pickens County Sheriff's Office.
The victim was not seriously injured.
Deputies have not identified or located a suspect and a motive has not yet been determined, according to the release.
The suspect is described as about 6' tall with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a blue sweat shirt and black pants.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Pickens County Sheriff's Office at (864) 898-5500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.

This Eastchester Musical Prodigy's Composition Is Debuting at Carnegie Hall
17-year-old Benjamin Araujo's work "Nine Portraits for Solo Piano" will be performed January 8 at Carnegie Hall by renowned pianist Irena Portenko.
By Paul Adler
Courtesty of the Music Conservatory of Westchester
There are plenty of superlatives thrown Benjamin Araujo's way, but "musical prodigy" is likely the most common. As the 2017 winner of the Very Young Composers Program at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall, Araujo's original orchestral composition "A Postcard from New York City" was performed by The New York Philharmonic that year. Never one to let the grass grow under his feet, on January 8, the 17-year-old Eastchester native will bring his next original composition to the Carnegie Hall stage, entitled "Nine Portraits for Solo Piano."
The work will be performed by esteemed faculty member at the White Plains Music Conservatory of Westchester and Dobbs Ferry native, pianist Irena Portenko, who is also founder of the international music institute and festival Music in the Alps.
We caught up with Araujo, who discussed just what it takes to be among the next generation of great composers.
Please tell us how you first sensed you had some musical talent.
My exposure to classical music began when, as a small child, I frequently visited my grandparents in White Plains. My grandfather, Paul Bergins, had classical music on constantly, especially music by Mozart, which I immediately began to love.
With my mother, I frequently borrowed music scores, and CDs to go along with them, from the Yonkers Will Library and the New Rochelle Library, and followed the scores as I listened to the CDs on our various car trips.
I began to sense my musical talent as a child when I had the opportunity to try out the organ at the Grace Church in White Plains and was able to play most of the first movement of Mozart's 40th Symphony by ear. This was particularly surprising to my parents, my grandparents, and especially Tim Lewis, the organist at the church.
What instruments do you play?
I currently play three instruments, which are piano, trombone, and tuba. Recently I started to teach myself how to play the trumpet and expect to be reasonably capable within several months.
At Eastchester High School, I play the trombone in the full orchestra and jazz band, and the tuba in the concert band. Of these instruments, it is the piano, which I have been playing since I was six years old, that is the most important to me. I felt that it appealed to me because I am able to express different moods depending on what piece I play.
When did you first begin composing music?
I first began composing music after I saw a DVD of the world premiere of an opera based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Korean composer Unsuk Chin. Shortly after, when I was in third grade, my grandfather took me to the American premiere of this opera in St. Louis, Missouri, where I met the composer herself. I was enthralled by the entire experience and decided that I also wanted to write music.
After a few early compositions, I joined the Very Young Composers Program at Lincoln Center under Jon Deak, and began to write more substantial works, two of which were performed at David Geffen Hall.
How did you find out your work would be played at the legendary Carnegie Hall?
The upcoming recital at Carnegie Hall will feature pianist Irena Portenko and countertenor Jeffrey Palmer, the theme of which is the Danish concept of "hygge", meaning "cozy", and will feature several songs by Handel, Schubert, Debussy, and others, that demonstrate this.
Irena, who is on the faculty at the Music Conservatory of Westchester, premiered my composition at her Music in the Alps Festival in Austria, in which I participated. The piece was well-received, and she decided to feature it in her upcoming recital, for which I am most grateful. For me, to have my own compositions premiered at such an auspicious venue as Carnegie Hall is a great honor, and very exciting.
The composition(s) that will be featured in this recital are the "Nine Portraits for Piano" that I had written back in 2017. They were written under the tutelage of composer Daron Hagen, who had suggested the idea of writing musical portraits about several people shortly after I began studying with him (which I am continuing to this day). In each movement of the composition, I aim to trying to "paint" a portrait of a specific person based mostly on his/her personality.
The categories of the people I portray are family members, friends, teachers, and historical figures. The influences of many different composers and musical genres, including Stravinsky, Orff, jazz, Schoenberg, or minimalist music by Philip Glass, appear in the various movements.
Composition is my greatest passion, and I want to pursue that as a career. I am starting to research various music schools, one of which I hope to attend after graduation from high school.

Multivariate and Multisource Processing of Cardiovascular Variability Signals
Sergio Cerutti
Polytechnic University of Milan
Sergio Cerutti is Professor in Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano, Italy. In the period 2000-2006 he has been the Chairman of the Department of Bioengineering, and in the period 2010-2012 the Chairman of BME Programs. His research interests are mainly in biomedical signal processing, neurosciences and cardiovascular modelling. In his research activity he has put emphasis on the integration of information at different modalities, at different sources and at different scales in various physiological systems. Since 1983 he has taught a course at graduate and doc levels on Biomedical Signal Processing and Modelling at Engineering Faculties (Milano and Roma) as well as at Specialisation Schools of Medical Faculties. He has been Elected Member of IEEE-EMBS AdCom (Region 8) in the periods 1993-1996 and 2011-2013. He is actually Fellow Member of IEEE, EAMBES, AIMBE and Associate Editor of IEEE Transaction on Biomedical Engineering. He is a member of the Steering Committee of the IEEE-EMBS Summer School on Biomedical Signal Processing. He has been Visiting Professor at Harvard-MIT Division Health Science and Technology, Boston, USA for an overall period of one year as well as for a period of four months at IST - Department of Physics, Lisbon, Portugal. He is the Author of more than 500 international scientific contributions (more than 250 on indexed scientific journals). In 2009 he received the IEEE-EMBS Academic Career Achievement Award.
Advanced techniques of signal processing are important tools for detecting new information relative to the physiological systems underneath, in a non-conventional way. By combining different signals and different signal sources allows to obtain parameters which cannot be derived by a traditional single-lead or single-channel signal processing. Biological systems are generally complex and the opportunity of obtaining a broader information spanning over different systems and modalities can be precious for fulfilling a kind of holistic diagnostic and therapeutic visions.
Particular emphasis will be dedicated to cardiovascular and autonomic parameters which can be detected from different signals and modalities in sleep studies, in some examples of atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as in the fusion of Heart Rate Variability signal (HRV) and fMRI images, in order to find a precise anatomical/functional correlate between autonomic markers and central nervous activity.
Pervasive ECG - Emotion and Identity at your Fingertips
Ana Fred
Instituto de Telecomunicações / IST
Ana Fred received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering, in 1989 and1994, respectively, both from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal. She is a Faculty Member of IST since 1986, where she has been a professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and more recently with the Department of Biomedical Engineering. She is a researcher at the Pattern and Image Analysis Group of the Instituto de Telecomunicações. Her main research areas are on pattern recognition, both structural and statistical approaches, with application to data mining, learning systems, behavioral biometrics, and biomedical applications. She has done pioneering work on clustering, namely on cluster ensemble approaches. Recent work on biosensors hardware (including BITalino – and ECG-based biometrics (Vitalidi project) have been object of several nacional and internacional awards, as well as wide dissemination on international media, constituting a success story of knowledge transfer from research to market. She has published over 160 papers in international refereed conferences, peer reviewed journals, and book chapters.
Electrocardiographic signals are typically analyzed for diagnostic purposes. However, the rhythm and morphology of these signals convey information revealing two additional views over this physiological data: emotional status and identity. For instance, the relation between heart rate variability and stress has been established. Recent studies show that, not only the rhythm, but also the morphology of the ECG changes associated with several emotional states. Even though there is intra-subject variability, that account for such emotional changes along the time, still each individual presents distinct morphological features that enable his recognition, being the ECG explored as a biometric modality for human authentication and identification. With the advent of low cost systems that enable the acquisition of ECG by simply touching dry electrodes or conductive textiles, we are entering an era where ECG data can be pervasively acquired, by embedding such systems in everyday usage devices, such as the keyboard of a computer, a smartphone, the steering wheel of a car, or the control of a Playstation. This talk presents state-of-the art developments on pervasive monitoring, processing and classification of ECG, under this three-fold scenario of identity, emotion and health assessment, ultimately connected under a cloud-computing environment.
Biomedical Micro- and Nanorobots - Fabrication and Applications
Salvador Pané i Vidal
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH)
Dr. Salvador Pané i Vidal (Barcelona, 1980) is currently a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems (IRIS) at ETH Zürich. He received a B.S. (2003), M.S (2004) and a PhD in Chemistry (2008) from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) in the field of the electrodeposition of magnetic composites and magnetorresistive alloys. He became a postdoctoral researcher at IRIS in August 2008 and Senior Research Scientist in 2012. He has authored or co-authored 50 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and books for education in science. Dr. Pané is currently working on bridging chemistry and electrochemistry with robotics at small scales. In the field of micro- and nanororobotics, his major focus has been the miniaturization of magnetic materials and conductive polymers and hydrogels for targeted drug delivery. He is the head of the IRIS electrochemistry laboratory at ETH, which he established in 2010. At present, he teaches a course on nanorobotics and supervises eight on-going PhD theses. Dr. Pané is the coordinator for the MANAQA project (Magnetic Nanoactuators for Quantitative Analysis), which is funded by the EU commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Dr. Pané was awarded the highly competitive Starting Grantfrom the European Research Council (ERC). The grant provides 1.5 million euros over five years to investigate composite nanomaterials with magnetoelectric properties for chemical and biomedical applications.
Over the past decade researchers have been developing micro- and nanorobots for use as biomedical platforms with applications such as chemical sensing and drug delivery. Understanding and controlling the physical and chemical interactions at the micro- and nanoscale is crucial for the realization of small biomedical robots. One of the main aspects investigated has been the fabrication and optimization of the motility component of these small agents, and one of the most promising approaches is to use electromagnetic systems to wirelessly control and actuate magnetic micro and nano structures. A goal of the research at the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab consists of creating untethered magnetically controlled micro and nanorobots to make current medical procedures safer and less invasive, and to create entirely new procedures that were never before possible. To increase their performance and to provide additional biofunctionalities (biocompatibility, drug delivery, sensing), other materials must be incorporated. In this work, we will present several magnetic micro- and nanoagents that have been produced in our laboratory with a focus on ophthalmologic and cardiologic applications.

President Trump calls out Philadelphia Republican Al Schmidt for saying there's 'no basis in fact' for voter fraud claims
Posted at 11:51 am on November 11, 2020 by Greg P.
President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to attack Philadelphia Republican Al Schmidt who said on CNN earlier in the day that there is "no basis in fact" for the voter fraud claims made by the president and his campaign:
A guy named Al Schmidt, a Philadelphia Commissioner and so-called Republican (RINO), is being used big time by the Fake News Media to explain how honest things were with respect to the Election in Philadelphia. He refuses to look at a mountain of corruption & dishonesty. We win!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 11, 2020
Video of his CNN interview here:
Philadelphia City Commissioner @Commish_Schmidt (a Republican) says he has not seen any evidence of widespread fraud.
"I have seen the most fantastical things on social media, making completely ridiculous allegations that have no basis in fact at all." pic.twitter.com/w3t3S9akKg
— Alli Hedges Maser (@AllisonLHedges) November 11, 2020
And this was a not-so-subtle dig at the president himself:
"People should be mindful that there are bad actors who are lying to them. And they need to turn to people that they trust and to sources of information that they trust, and not rumors and not nonsense included in lawsuits or anything else like that…" – @Commish_Schmidt pic.twitter.com/ZDFock1qyj
Schmidt, who is "responsible for elections and voter registration in Philadelphia," is not a very good target for the president, however:
I cannot stress this enough: Al Schmidt may be the most respected elected official in Philadelphia. https://t.co/vHXGcwwWvY
— Jim Saksa (@saksappeal) November 11, 2020
He's literally the guy who has been calling out voter fraud in the city for years:
Al Schmidt had focused for years on voting irregularities in Philadelphia.
He was even involved in a case in which a judge was convicted for voter fraud earlier this year — a case which the Trump team has cited repeatedly. https://t.co/su4GC38hlt
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) November 11, 2020
Schmidt was the one who initially flagged that the number of votes in a few places exceeded the number of people who signed poll books.
His work led to a conviction and another indictment of a former congressman.https://t.co/vfUTeIsdcN
And from local journal Jonathan Lai:
Schmidt and his office regularly investigate irregularities or claims of fraud in Philadelphia and refers them to prosecutors.
That's led to I think about a dozen or so indictments, most followed by guilty pleas or convictions. https://t.co/joKH6aGH1a
— Jonathan Lai ? 賴柏羽 (@Elaijuh) November 11, 2020
Just this year, even:
Here is Al Schmidt refusing "to look at a mountain of corruption & dishonesty" by investigating irregularities in vote totals and referring it to prosecutors, leading to a guilty plea this year from a poll worker who accepted bribes to inflate vote totals:https://t.co/Ank1S0rKD1
As of this morning, Biden's lead in Pennsylvania stands at about 47,000 votes:
In Pennsylvania, Joe Biden has a lead of 47,161 votes which eclipses Donald Trump's slim margin of victory in 2016 (44,292). https://t.co/r2LmMT4NTQ
— Steven D'Souza (@cbcsteve) November 11, 2020
And we have to wait until next week to hear if the Trump campaign will be successful or not in blocking the certification of votes:
A federal judge will hear arguments next Tuesday on Pennsylvania's motion to dismiss a Trump lawsuit seeking to block the state from certifying election results https://t.co/uduyA6oGq8

Fed Govt dismisses NGO's report on alleged extrajudicial killings
The Federal Government said yesterday that reports by a human rights group, Amnesty International (AI), on alleged extrajudicial killings in some northern states were not factual.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Olugbenga Ashiru, spoke in Abuja at an international conference on "Human Rights, Human Security and Conflict'', organised by the Institute of Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR).
The group in its 2012 report accused Nigerian security personnel of "unlawful killings, dragnet arrests, arbitrary and unlawful detentions, extortion and intimidation" in some northern parts of the country.
The minister said the group had, however, apologised to Nigeria.
"Nigerian armed forces have served well over many countries with impeccable record; human rights is part of their training.
"When amnesty was here, they said they were sorry; if you are sorry, you say it outside, let people know.
"I have given them the invitation to come and open an office so that when they write, it will be factual.
"We are not afraid of our operations because the military keeps to the rule of engagement, this is why there are so many arrests made.''
According to him, those that are killed died in the usual course of exchange of fire and the military had a duty to protect themselves.
"For us in Nigeria, we are signatory to human rights and people's rights; whatever level of involvement, we always remain conscious of our obligations to humanity.
"We are committed to continue the pursuit on this path for enduring peace both in Nigeria and Africa,'' Ashiru said.
The minister described Nigeria as a major contributor to global peace, adding that issues of human rights were enshrined in the country's constitution and were also complied with.
He noted that human rights issues in Nigeria predated the colonial era.
According to him, the conference is an opportunity to showcase efforts made in the sustenance of human right laws in the country.
"In Nigeria and most African countries, we have been forthright because we have entrenched human rights provisions in our constitution and that was what gave rise to the bill of rights of 1958.
"This has now formed into chapter 3 of the 1960 Independence Constitution, and today all the issues of human rights are enshrined in chapter four of the 1999 Constitution.
"Human rights have consistently been provided for in our constitution since our independence because of the respect we have for it.''
Ashiru said it demonstrated that the country did not only respect human rights, but it would also remain committed to its promotion in all facets.
Dr. Martin Uhomoibhi, Permanent Secretary of the ministry, explained that challenges of the promotion of human rights existed globally.
He said the promotion and defence of human rights required collective and global efforts to be addressed.

})
to this:
$stateProvider.state('latestPosts', {

It is essential to note that the abstract state always point to where the <ion-nav-view> exist.
Tell me if it works, Happy Coding.

Q: How do I match a character before or after a capturing group in regex? I have a Python script with a regex pattern that searches for the word employee_id if there is an equals sign immediately before or after.
import re
pattern = r"(=employee_id|employee_id=)"
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id").group(1)) # =employee_id
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id=").group(1)) # employee_id=
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id=").group(1)) # =employee_id
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id")) # None
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_identity=")) # None
How can I modify my regex pattern to only capture the employee_id part of the string without the equals sign?
# Desired results
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id").group(1)) # employee_id
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id=").group(1)) # employee_id
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id=").group(1)) # employee_id
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id")) # None
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_identity=")) # None
I attempted to use capture groups, but putting parentheses around employee_id meant my results were split between two capture groups:
pattern = r"=(employee_id)|(employee_id)="
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id=").group(1)) # None
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id=").group(2)) # employee_id
Using optional groups would match an employee_id without any equals sign.
(?:=)?(employee_id)(?:=)?
I also do not want to exclude matches where the character is both before and after the word.
A: Try:
(?<==)employee_id|employee_id(?==)
Regex demo.
Or if you want it matched inside a capture group
((?<==)employee_id|employee_id(?==))
Regex demo.
This matches employee_id if there is = before or after the string
EDIT: Python example:
import re
pattern = r"(?<==)employee_id|employee_id(?==)"
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id").group(0)) # =employee_id
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id=").group(0)) # employee_id=
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id=").group(0)) # =employee_id
Prints:
employee_id
employee_id
employee_id
OR: You can add capturing group around the pattern:
You can put capturing group around the pattern:
import re
pattern = r"((?<==)employee_id|employee_id(?==))"
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id").group(1)) # =employee_id
print(re.search(pattern, "employee_id=").group(1)) # employee_id=
print(re.search(pattern, "=employee_id=").group(1)) # =employee_id
Prints:
employee_id
employee_id
employee_id
A: If you want to have only one capture group while making sure = is either before or after the capture group then use:
(?:(?<==)|(?=\w+=))(employee_id)\b
RegEx Demo
RegEx Details:
*
*(?:: Non capture group start
*
*(?<==): Assert that we have = just before the current position
*|: OR
*(?=\w+=): Assert that we have 1+ word characters and = just after the current position
*): Non capture group end
*(employee_id): Match and capture employee_id
*\b: Word boundary
A: This is probably more complicated than it needs to be, but it is an option.
Python's re supports named groups, so one would hope that this works:
=(?P<employee_id>\d+)(?!=)|(?<!=)(?P<employee_id>\d+)=
Unfortunately it doesn't, even though the groups won't ever collide.
error: redefinition of group name 'employee_id' as group 2; was group 1 at position 37
This does, however, work with the third-party regex package:
>>> import regex
>>> pattern = regex.compile(r"=(?P<employee_id>\d+)(?!=)|(?<!=)(?P<employee_id>\d+)=")
>>> match = pattern.search("And he's like: id=42. So hilarious!")
>>> match
<regex.Match object; span=(17, 20), match='=42'>
>>> match.groupdict()
{'employee_id': '42'}
If you want to use re, you could use a helper function and a slight modification to the pattern:
def unify_groupdict(groupdict):
result = {}
for name, match in groupdict.items():
name = name.rstrip("_")
if result.get(name) is None:
result[name] = match
return result
###
pattern = re.compile(r"=(?P<employee_id>\d+)(?!=)|(?<!=)(?P<employee_id_>\d+)=")
match = pattern.search("And he's like: id=42. So hilarious!")
print(unify_groupdict(match.groupdict()))
# {'employee_id': 42}

RLC group honored
by Hanna RussmannStaff Writer
This past summer, the Breakfast Club, a RLC group at Simpson College, was presented the Governor's Volunteer Award in Des Moines.
Individuals or groups receiving the award had to demonstrate outstanding dedication to helping the community with ongoing activities; show leadership, hard work and cooperation in their service to the community; and make an exceptional contribution in their volunteer service.
The Governor's Volunteer Award was presented by First Lady Mari Culver on July 27 to chapel assistant Ann Shepherd and juniors Kellyn Pappas and Danielle Caswell.
"This award is always given in the summer and many of the students are gone, so we wanted to be able to represent the Breakfast Club and Simpson for all the hard work that the students do," Shepherd said.
To receive the Governor's Volunteer Award a person or group must be nominated. The Breakfast Club was nominated by the Iowa Board of Regents. People or groups nominated for the award must volunteer their time with a state or city government agency or an Iowa nonprofit organization to be eligible to receive the award.
The Breakfast Club serves the community by going to Des Moines early every Thursday morning to play, read or do math with inner-city kids and feed them breakfast.
The club started as an outreach for Religious Life partnered with Children and Family Urban Ministries, better known as CFUM.
Only six to eight students normally participate, but that number was even less at the beginning of this school year, as mentioned by a student leader of the Breakfast Club.
"My first outing, it was just the two student leaders and two other students, but that should increase as the year goes on," sophomore Abby Frazier said.
Interim Campus Chaplain Fritz Wehrenberg hopes this award will boost the Breakfast Club's popularity to become a major activity on campus, despite its early morning schedule.
"I know that the time of day is difficult and I know that our schedules are crammed with activity and responsibilities," Wehrenberg said. "I also know that we at Simpson are privileged people, students, faculty and staff. I would hope that more of us would see the Breakfast Club as an expression of care that our privilege provides and get involved."
Senior Stacy Bonertz has been volunteering with the Breakfast Club for three years. This year she became one of the organization's two student leaders. Bonertz began work with the Breakfast Club for a class she was taking and decided to stay with it.
"I love service, but (the Breakfast Club) was originally for a class," Bonertz said. "I needed so many hours of service, but I liked it so I kept doing it."
Bonertz is enamored with the children she works with.
"I just love kids," Bonertz said. "They have a unique outlook on life." | {

Latina Leaders and New Media
I attended the NCLR session, "Serving, Leading and Inspiring: Latinas in Elected and Appointed Office" which was great. So many amazing stories! I'll write them up later on. But afterwards I was able to grab my former State Sentor Iris Martinez (disclosure: I have donated to her campaign), State Representative Susana Mendoza and Elmy Bermejo, Chair of the board of HOPE, for a few minutes on social media.
It was a case study in how different we see social media and who is using it.
For Senator Martinez, she does not have a dedicated press person to help manage any social media outreach. Senators share press people, so one press person could be handling 4-5 or even 10 state senators. This doesn't seem to lead to having the time or energy to handle any substantive social media presence. I've talked with friends over the last few years and most of us are frustrated that elected officials aren't using the Internet to it's fullest extent. Martinez is committed to updating her website soon and looking for ways to increase her presence online.
Representative Mendoza is on Facebook and Twitter. It's really her on the other end of the iPhone, which was peeking out of her suit jacket, sending in updates. She says that she resisted joining for a long time, but quickly came to realize the power of social media/networking. While she was on the impeachment panel for former Gov. Blagojevich, she got a TON of feedback from people around the state about the impeachment as well as about her. "I got messages from Republicans in Lake County saying "I've never voted for a Democrat, but I'd vote for you if you ran for higher office." You don't let all of that go to your head, but it's great to hear from so many people. Facebook is the best door knocker!" We discussed how someone at her level of politics or even more local could definitely use Facebook and other social media tools to expand ones base in order to run for a higher office. She does say that she tries not to update too much and any updates are fairly relevant. Too many elected officials update too much and border on annoying.
Mendoza knows that her community still has issues with the digital divide and sees more non-constituents giving her feedback through social media tools. But is committed to bringing resources to the community. As she sees it, getting more people connected to computers will only increase their voices and education.
HOPE is working in California to increase the number of Latinas in leadership. They are also working on launching a poll to see how Latinas in California are using social media. Who is using it, why, how as well as seeing who isn't using it or even has access to social media. The digital divide is also a huge issue for HOPE and they want to see the divide decrease. As for their leadership training, they are targeting Latinas with potential. After a Latina goes through the training, they have access to the entire state wide network. One Latina who was campaigning had a goal of raising $5,000 in a week. With HOPE's network if every Latina on the list gave $20, she would have reached one week's goal.
And that's what HOPE is trying to do. Get more Latinas engaged in politics through running for office, working on campaigns and GIVING to campaigns. Bermejo says that it's working. Latinas are voting more, organizing receptions for other candidates and are giving more to campaigns.
The networks are forming one Latina at a time and by connecting online through Facebook, Twitter or whatever we create, I think that we'll be quite a force to be reckoned with.

What was Jim Halpert's relationship with Pam Beesly?
A major part of the character Jim Halpert is his relationship with Pam Beesly, which is often the subject of office speculation. This is made worse by the fact that Pam was engaged to Roy Anderson, a Dunder Mifflin warehouse worker.
Who is Jim Halpert from the office based on?
James "Jim" Duncan Halpert (born October 1, 1978) is a fictional character in the U.S. version of the television sitcom The Office, portrayed by John Krasinski. The character is based on Tim Canterbury from the original version of The Office.

Selected quotations from a Monitor breakfast with Congressman J.C. Watts, Jr.
Congressman J.C. Watts, Jr., from Oklahoma, is the chairman of the House Republican Conference. He also serves on the House Armed Services Committee and its Special Oversight Panel on Terrorism.
"I think that anyone who would suggest it is going to be done by Sept. 11 [is]... being overly optimistic and unrealistic."
"You could have Satan himself trying to run this operation–as mean as he is–and it would be extremely difficult based on the way the federal government operates."
"Since Sept. 11, we have had over 150 hearings in the United States House of Representatives on homeland security. Over 150 in a lot of different subcommittees and committees. There has been no overall strategy for these hearings. ...There has been no one focal point, [no] one driving committee to say this is why we are having this hearing ...no one committee or subcommittee whose sole purpose is to protect the homeland."
"Republicans have to be careful that we don't try to win elections on homeland security.... So when the issue turns more to education, jobs, prescription drugs, I think we have to have performed, we have to be prepared.
"So I think it is a very dangerous strategy, in my opinion, to say we are going to win the election on the war. I think that is very shortsighted. We need to continue to be concerned about educating our kids, creating jobs, and prescription drugs. I think we are positioned very well in those issues. But [it is] very dangerous to put all our eggs in the homeland security basket."
"The FBI needs to be restructured and revamped, reformed, whatever word we want to use. I am prepared to allow the Government Reform Committee or the Select Committee to evaluate and make that determination. I can tell you this, it sure wouldn't hurt my feelings if that is what they concluded."
"I think our challenge is to try to provide...the maximum amount of safety that we possibly can for our citizens without throwing the Constitution out the window. That can be a very, very delicate balance sometimes." | {

Dr Colonel Arthur Anthony Page (1922-2011)
Arthur Page – Tamborine Observatory 1981
Arthur was born on August 3rd, 1922 in Yokohama, Japan to Anton & Elena Pappadopoulos. The grandson of noted Russian astronomer Professor Artemic Robertovich Orbinsky of the Pulkova and Odessa Observatories, Arthur was destined for the stars. Arthur settled in Australia in 1941, and the following year joined the army. After the war Arthur studied Physiotherapy and began work at the Commonwealth Rehabilitation Centre on Swan Road, Taringa.
During that time, Arthur joined the army reserve in 1950 and retired with the rank of Colonel in 1972. Arthur and second wife Berenice, built an observatory at their residence in Chermside and both collaborated with the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics flare star program. The Berenice Page Award for Excellence in Amateur Astronomy, bequeathed after her sudden death in 1970, was inaugurated by the ASA in 1972.
In 1971, Arthur married Aileen and in that same year he moved his observatory to Mt Tamborine. The observatory was officially opened in 1973 by the then Chief of the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics, Paul Wild. The opening was attended by visitors to the 54th Symposium of the IAU held on the Gold Coast. In 1978, the telescope was upgraded to a 12" f15 Dall-Kirkham Cassegrain coupled with a photoelectric device which steered Arthur's research program on a new path. Arthur retired as Senior Physiotherapist in 1983 but remained very active in the astronomical arena taking up an honorary chair in the Physics Department at UQ in 1987.
Arthur was a founding member of the Astronomers' Association of Queensland (AAQ) and was its first President in 1969. In 1993, Arthur donated his equipment to the UQ Physics Department and through their collaboration with USQ, the Mt Tamborine observatory was dismantled and the mount was moved to Mt Kent and re-housed with a 16" Cassegrain telescope in a new fibreglass dome.
Arthur published a book in 2008 entitled "Between Victor and Vanquished" covering his time as an Australian interrogator in World War II and a copy is held in the AAQ library.
I met Arthur as a teenager in 1976 at my first AAQ meeting and was somewhat in awe of his achievements, but considered that he would have no interest in what I did. This proved far from the truth and my association with Arthur, his family, Mt Tamborine Observatory and like-minded members of the AAQ (Joe Cali, Peter Mitropoulos and Lindsay Ball) cemented an enduring friendship.
In 1992, as President of the AAQ I had the great pleasure of awarding Arthur with an Honorary Membership of the AAQ.
Arthur was known to many past and present members of the AAQ and many in the wider astronomical community. While his attendance at meetings had waned, his enthusiasm for astronomy had not. Arthur's contribution to astronomy earned him membership of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1985 and at that stage, he was the first Australian non-professional astronomer to be admitted to the organization. He also became a member of the Astronomical Association of Australia (ASA) and later in life reached Honorary Fellow status. He was also recognized for his achievements by the University of Queensland with an Honorary Doctorate of Philosophy (Science) in 1994.
The ASA awards the Berenice and Arthur Page Medal for excellence in amateur astronomy in Australia and its territories. It is normally awarded every two years for scientific contributions by an amateur astronomer that has served to advance astronomy. The Berenice and Arthur Page Medal is presented at the biennial National Australian Convention of Amateur Astronomers (NACAA) by a representative of the ASA Council. The winner also receives free Honorary Associate membership of the ASA.
The award is specifically for scientific contributions that have served to advance astronomy. While the amateur astronomical community benefits greatly from members' organisational services, their popularisation of astronomy and their proficiency in established astronomical techniques, these qualities are not relevant to the award's criteria.
The Astronomical Association of Queensland mark the importance of his contribution to both the Association and amateur astronomy in general by holding the Arthur Page Memorial Lecture each May, which is given by an invited speaker.
Arthur Page passed away in the early hours of Tuesday morning 1st February, 2011. | {

University of Notre Dame investigates death of student videographer
Clients University of Notre Dame
Jones Day served as counsel to the University of Notre Dame in connection with an investigation into the death of a student videographer at Notre Dame football practice. On October 27, 2010, a student videographer was killed when the elevated scissor lift from which the student was filming football practice tipped over. Notre Dame's investigation identified several factors that caused or contributed to the accident, including: (1) the presence of unusual wind conditions; (2) staff members' lack of knowledge regarding current and projected weather conditions; (3) characteristics of the lift involved in the accident; and (4) the height of the lift involved in the accident. The investigation also identified a number of factors that did not cause or contribute to the accident and made a series of recommendations to help prevent a similar accident from occurring again—at Notre Dame or anywhere else.

Who is Bollywood Actor Shriya Saran?
Shriya Saran Bhatnagar, known as Shriya, is an Indian actress and model who predominantly works in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi language films. Although Saran aspires to become a well-known dancer, she made her feature film debut with the Telugu film Ishtam in 2001 and achieved her first commercial success with Santhosham (2002).

In 2003, She made her presentation in Bollywood with the "Tujhe Meri Kasam" film. Afterward, Shriya acted in a few movies like Neeku Nenu Naaku Nuvvu (2003), Tagore (2003), and Ela Cheppanu (2003). With the "Enakku 20 Unakku 18" film, she made her presentation in Bollywood.
Shriya Saran Career
While in her second year at the LSR College in Delhi, Saran got her most memorable chance to show up before the camera for a video shoot. Following her dance educator's suggestion, she was welcome to show up in the music video of Renoo Nathan's "Thirakti Kyun Hawa". Shot in Banaras, the video was seen by Ramoji Films who offered her the lead job of Neha in their film Ishtam. Saran acknowledged the part and, even before it was delivered she was endorsed to four more films, including Nuvve, in which she played a tycoon's girl who succumbs to a working class man. In 2002, she featured in Santosham, co-featuring Nagarjuna, Prabhu Deva and Gracy Singh, which was her most memorable business success.
The film took the Nandi Award for Best Feature Film and Filmfare Best Film Award (Telugu). Saran played a lady who lets somebody she cherishes go with another, however wins him back further down the road. For her presentation, she procured a selection for the CineMAA Award for Best Actor-Female, giving her a decent traction in the Telugu business in the early piece of her vocation.
In 2003, Saran acted in a supporting job in her most memorable Hindi film, Tujhe Meri Kasam, featuring debutants Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza in driving jobs. She proceeded as one of the lead female jobs in Telugu film Tagore, alongside Jyothika and Chiranjeevi which was screened at the International Indian Film Academy Awards, and was a business success. She followed it with her Tamil film debut in Enakku 20 Unakku 18, close by Tarun and Trisha Krishnan, which was at the same time shot in Telugu as Nee Manasu Naaku Telusu, in which she played a football trainer. However she acted in films in three dialects that year, eight of the initial ten movies of her vocation were in Telugu.
In 2004, Saran acted in two Telugu and two Hindi movies, including Arjun and Nenunnanu, where she played an understudy in traditional singing. She had ten 2005 deliveries, nine of which were Telugu films, the most outstanding for her being Chatrapathi. There she showed up inverse Prabhas and procured her most memorable designation for the Filmfare Best Telugu Actress Award.Meanwhile, she attempted to get back in the saddle in Tamil with Mazhai, a redo of the Telugu film Varsham, where she repeated the job done by Trisha in the first. Neither the film nor her exhibition were gotten well.
Also in 2005, she showed up as one of just three characters in the film Mogudu Pellam O Dongodu, which was about a hitched couple's most memorable night together, and made a visitor appearance in a kids' film called Bommalata, which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu. Saran's just lead job in 2006, barring three exceptional appearances, was in the Tamil film Thiruvilayadal Arambam.
In 2007, she was decided to play the lead female job inverse Rajinikanth in S. Shankar's Sivaji: The Boss after Aishwarya Rai dismissed the job due to occupied schedules. which was the most costly Indian film at that time. R.G. Vijayasarathy wrote in his survey for Rediff that, beside her magnificence, Saran "demonstrates that she can act too". Her exhibition procured her a South Scope Style Award for Best Tamil Actress, her most memorable honor win, and a designation at the Vijay Awards. The job made her a star in the south Indian film industry. During this period of her vocation, she showed up in thing numbers, remembering for the movies Devadasu, Munna, and Tulasi.
Likewise in 2007, Saran got back in the game in Hindi film with Awarapan, which was a joint creation among India and Pakistan. She played a Muslim lady and needed to learn Urdu. This was her fourth Hindi film, yet the others had neglected to make any impact. Sanjay Ram, composing for Business of Cinema, gave the film 2.5 of 5 stars and said that Saran gave a brief, convincing performance. Saran later said that the film reinforced her conviction that all religions are equal. Later that year she showed up in another Tamil film, Azhagiya Tamil Magan, inverse Vijay. However pundits lifted up her looks, her presentation got blended surveys, with one commentator, Nandhu Sundharam of Rediff, venturing to such an extreme as to say that her "acting is however terrible as her looks seem to be good". That very year Saran showed up in a scene in the Kannada film Arasu. She showed up in six movies in 2007 out of four dialects.
American film debut (2008-12)
Saran made her American film debut in Ashok Amritraj's The Other End of the Line. She assumed the part of Priya Sethi, who fills in as a phone administrator in an Indian call place, while acting close by Jesse Metcalfe, Anupam Kher and Tara Sharma. Shriya's presentation was lauded by pundits, especially her on-screen science with Jesse Metcalfe. John Anderson, composing for Variety magazine, said it was "a triumphant Stateside debut for lovely Indian entertainer Shriya Saran."
Saran acted in the Hindi film Mission Istaanbul with Zayed Khan, and Shabbir Ahluwalia in 2008. She played the personality of Anjali Sagar which was roused by the personality of Romila Dutta played by Preity Zinta in the film Lakshya, a writer who wants to have a youngster with her better half, which prompts their division, since he is hesitant. Bollywood Hungama pundits said that her personality was squandered, as again she gets next to no screen time. However, she got the Stardust Exciting New Face Award.
Her most significant 2009 delivery was the industrially successful Tamil film Kanthaswamy, close by Vikram. She procured a designation at the Vijay Awards. Vikram said in a meeting that her job was comparable to his, and she effortlessly got everyone's attention on most occasions. Of her personality in the film, Saran said that it was the best she has done so far.
Also that year she showed up as the female lead in Thoranai. A commentator said that her charm and the melodies were the main high marks of the film. For Thoranai and Kanthaswamy together, she accepted her third honor win, the Amrita Mathrubhumi Award for Best Actress. She then, at that point, showed up in one more English film, Cooking with Stella, which is a satire that investigates the serious idea of connections among workers and bosses. It was chosen for the Toronto International Film Festival, which Saran attended.
In 2010, Saran made her Malayalam debut with Pokkiri Raja, in which she showed up inverse Mammootty and Prithviraj. The film broke the record in Malayalam film for opening week gross income, however it was not gotten well basically. It was said to describe Saran that all she needed to do was look pretty. She then, at that point, established her most memorable lead job in a Telugu film following five years, in the economically effective activity parody Don Seenu inverse Ravi Teja, where she plays the sister of a mobster. According to certain pundits, she got everyone's attention with her moves and heartfelt scenes.
The year 2010 was her second most active after 2005, having showed up in eight movies, this time in four dialects.
In 2011, Saran showed up in Rowthiram, where she worked with Tamil entertainer Jiiva for the first time. The film got genuinely low audits. Albeit a few surveys said that Saran was not offered a lot of chance to show her acting abilities, essentially adding a heartfelt touch to a generally savage film, she was alluded to by one more as the turn around which the film revolves. Her presentation procured her Best Actress Award at the International Tamil Film Awards. Her main other film in 2011 was an exceptional appearance in a melody for the Tamil film Rajapattai.
Saran's most memorable arrival of 2012 was her subsequent Malayalam project, Casanovva, co-featuring Mohanlal and coordinated by Rosshan Andrrews. The film was postponed commonly, and it was supposed that Saran would leave the project, however in October 2010, the maker of the film declared that shooting would start in Dubai with Shriya Saran among the cast. It was delivered on 26 January. Her next discharge was in Gali Mein Chor Hai, from chief Rumy Jafry, which started shooting in September 2011, and delivered on 3 February. She then was found in the basically normal comedic Telugu film Nuvva Nena, with entertainers Allari Naresh and Sharwanand, followed by Sekhar Kammula's abundantly deferred Life is Beautiful.
Saran has featured in Deepa Mehta's for quite some time postponed English task Midnight's Children, which depends on Salman Rushdie's profoundly acclaimed novel of the equivalent name. It was recorded under the functioning title of Winds of Change. It was screened at a few film celebrations in late 2012 in Canada lastly made its general delivery in India on 1 February 2013.
In mid 2013, Saran showed up in a thing number in the film Zila Ghaziabad. This was her most memorable thing number in a Hindi film.[60] On 7 June, Saran's Pavitra was delivered, in which she played a prostitute.[61] At a public interview in Hyderabad, she said that the movie is extremely unique for her, and that she was moved by the responsiveness that chief/essayist Janardhana Maharshi provided for the topic.[62] Her bi-lingual movie Chandra, coordinated by Roopa Iyer, was all the while made in Kannada and Tamil dialects. She assumed the part of a princess in the film inverse Kannada entertainer Prem Kumar.[63] The film delivered in Kannada on 27 June 2013, and in Tamil on 14 February 2014. It turned into a moderate accomplishment at the Kannada film industry. The film denoted Saran's re-visitation of Tamil film after more than five years.[64]
Saran's most memorable film of 2014, delivered 23 May, was the Telugu family show Manam, which was an outcome in India and America. Saran's most memorable film of 2015 was Gopala, a change of the Bollywood blockbuster OMG – Oh My God!, delivered in the January bubbly season. She will next show up in chief Karan Bhutani's Hindi film Valmiki Ki Bandook, which is right now under creation.
Shriya Saran and her baby
The entertainer discusses returning to work, keeping the fresh insight about her pandemic pregnancy off web-based entertainment, and life in Barcelona during lockdown with girl, Radha
Shriya Saran is back in India following two years, and she talks in a voice overflowing with the joy of somebody who has effectively figured out how to leave well enough alone. The entertainer as of late settled on a child uncover rather than an orientation uncover — Radha, her little girl with business visionary spouse Andrei Koscheev, was brought into the world in January this year in Barcelona, Spain.
For the initial three months, I was extremely cautious. Then, at that point, I continued my Kathak classes, yoga, and strolling. It was troublesome as we were all in our singular air pockets. Andrei and I were doing everything ourselves, and a fourteen day visit stretched out to two years. We lacked the opportunity to think; there was sufficient work to do, and there was dance.
Do you expect to pen down your pregnancy process?
I don't figure I'll do that. In any case, it was a fascinating one, similar to it was for any mother who had a child during the pandemic. Extraordinary and wonderful, at the same time. I'm recently honored and glad to have Radha and get some great clinical assistance during these difficult stretches. There was a ton of energy and love in our lives and I am thankful for that.

Audit of India's water bodies confirms their polluted status
CAG assessment reveals governments' inaction in curbing water pollution
By Bharat Lal Seth
Published: Monday 26 December 2011
The Comptroller and Auditor General's (CAG) report on water pollution, tabled in Parliament on December 16, confirms what is already known and apparent. After more than two and a half decades of the Centre's attempts to control pollution, our lakes and rivers remain critically polluted. According to the report titled Water pollution in India, no efforts have been made to compile a list of water bodies in the country. Even the process of identifying lakes and rivers for pollution abatement has been flawed, says the report.
This is correct, says R C Trivedi, former additional director of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). "Unless we have an inventory to prioritise the nature and magnitude of pollution in different regions, how can we focus our efforts?" asks Trivedi. The logical first step is to assess the problem of pollution, and curb it thereafter. In the 1980s, CPCB attempted to prepare an inventory of sources of pollution, but the exercise could not be completed due to the lack of information from the state boards. As a result, the rationale of our efforts are skewed, Trivedi adds.
Key recommendations
Ministry of Environment and Forests/Central Pollution Control Board should initiate steps, along with Ministry of Water Resources and all the states to draw up a comprehensive inventory of all rivers, lakes and ground water sources in India
MoEF should also undertake a survey to list all the keystone species associated with each river and lake in India
Higher penalties need to be levied for violation of water quality standards
Right now, there are multiple agencies involved in river and lake conservation, right from planning to implementation and monitoring. There is a need to consolidate all these functions under an umbrella agency for better coordination and accountability
The CAG office held a conference on concerns of water pollution in 2010 after which it decided to take up a first of its kind pollution audit. The examination extended to 140 projects across 24 river stretches and 22 lakes in 116 blocks across 25 states of India. "All the rivers test-checked continue to be plagued by high levels of organic pollution, low oxygen levels available for aquatic organisms and bacteria, protozoa and viruses which have faecal origin and cause illnessess. The lakes in India continue to be under threat from nutrient overloading which is causing their eutrophication and the eventual choking caused by various weeds proliferating in the nutrient-rich water," says Geetali Tare, principal director of audit, scientific departments with CAG.
Only 10 per cent waste water treated
Even after 26 years of pollution abatement works, only ten per cent of waste water generated in the country is treated. The rest collects as cess pools or is discharged into the 14 major, 55 minor and several hundred other rivers. It is quite clear from the CAG report that the overall status of quality of water in rivers, lakes and its links to groundwater has not been adequately addressed. Neither have adequate policies, legislations or programmes been formulated, says the report. The report examined various Acts and found that the maximum penalty or fine for a case relating to water pollution is just Rs 10,000. Over time "the cost of non-compliance became significantly lower than the cost of compliance with the provisions and rules and orders under the Acts," points out the report.
No inventory of water bodies compiled
The National Water Policy was envisaged in 2002. Since then 18 states have framed their water policy under it. However, with the exception of Kerala, none have formulated a seperate policy to deal with pollution, says the report. There is little emphasis on prevention and control of pollution. Furthermore, not a single state has an inventory of water bodies or has identified risks to aquatic species. No inventory of rivers or lakes has been undertaken by the environment ministry either, says the report, and this has been acknowledged by the ministry.
The CAG report has recommended that the environment ministry identify a keystone species for major rivers and lakes in the country to not only act as an indicator of ecological health but also help to design programmes in accordance. Only Himachal Pradesh has identified such species for river stretches in the state. The environment ministry has said that this identification is location-specifc and need-based as has been done in the case of the Ganga.
The report has identified the need to update research on pollution sources and their effects since majority of the research has been done between 1980 and 1995. The complexity in quantity and type of pollutant has changed since, says the report. It has also said that neither the environment ministry nor the pollution control boards have linked water pollution to risk assessment. In 2009, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare reported 1.14 crore cases of acute diarrheoal diseases occurring in India. The current programmes at the Centre do not link pollution to populations at risk, and only deal with stretches where pollution has already occurred.
The programmes, however misguided, are also behind schedule. Of the completed projects under the national river conservation plan, 82 per cent were completed after the scheduled date of completion. Moreover, only two of the twenty two projects have been completed and the rest were either beyond scheduled completion time or had been abandoned, says the report. Only three lakes have been restored to the designated criteria.
In May 2011, the environment ministry constituted a committee to look into the report and implement some of the recommendations or observations. The committee has proposed to address the issue of inadequate sewage treatment capacity as well as to amend the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 to link penalities for contravention.

Leslie Heward (* 8. Dezember 1897, in Liversedge, Yorkshire; † 3. Mai 1943) war ein englischer Komponist und Dirigent.
Er begann seine musikalische Ausbildung als Chorknabe an der Kathedrale von Manchester, studierte am Royal College of Music in London und war in Manchester als Assistenz-Organist tätig. Sein Weg als Dirigent führte ihn von der British National Opera Company (BNOC) nach Kapstadt in Südafrika zum dortigen Orchester und schließlich 1930 zum City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Eine Krebserkrankung führte schließlich zu seinem frühzeitigen Tod im Jahr 1943.
Sein musikalisches Spektrum war breit und reichte von der Filmmusik über Oper bis zur Klassik. Seine Manuskripte werden heute in der Bibliothek des Royal College of Music aufbewahrt. Von seinen Kompositionen vernichtete er einen Teil zu seinen Lebzeiten. Erhalten blieben unter anderem das symphonisches Werk The Quodlibet (Uraufführung 1932 mit dem BBC-Symphonie-Orchester), einige Film-Musiken (so für The Loves of Robert Burns), ein Nocturne und die South African Patrol. Er hinterließ zwei unvollendete Opern (Peer Gynt und Hamlet), verschiedene Choralwerke, Lieder, Werke für Klavier und Orgel sowie ein Streichquartett.

With Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D, Marantz's SR7012 is one of a handful of receivers to boast this trio of sonic processing suites straight out of the box. One step down and, following a healthy price cut since its original launch, considerably more affordable than the brand's flagship SR8012 AVR, could this £1,000 model be the sweet spot for object-based audio value?
Well, if you're not hunting for 11 integrated channels, it may well be. Unlike the SR8012, this AVR has nine channels of power, so if you are setting up for something like 5.1.4 or the Auro equivalent, it's good to go. To make full use of its 11-channel processing you will need an additional stereo power amp.
The rest of the spec sheet is AVR trumps gold. In addition to the headline processing, the SR7012 offers both DTS Virtual:X and eARC (the former promising object-based height projection from basic 5.1 or 7.1 speaker setups, the latter delivering object-based audio data back down from your TV), plus Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and hardwired Ethernet connections enabling a strong slate of networked features – including internet radio, streaming services, Apple AirPlay 2 and Amazon Alexa control. There's also HEOS support, allowing your cinema setup to become part of a HEOS multiroom setup.
Audyssey's flagship MultEQ XT room EQ software is integrated, and for a £20 fee you can download Audyssey's MultEQ Editor app, too. This gets you pretty much the full range of tools that were bundled as the much pricier Audyssey Pro Kit for installers.
For video, the SR7012 stocks an 8-in/3-out suite of HDMI 2.0 connections with Dolby Vision/HLG HDR passthrough. Should you still have legacy HD and even SD (tsk, tsk) sources, there is scaling to 4K from any video input.
Onboard amplification is touted at a very respectable 125W per channel (8 ohms, two-channel, 20Hz-20kHz), or an even more impressive 200W under a less rigorous measurement. With a nod to Marantz's audiophile heritage, all nine channels use the company's Hyper Dynamic Amp Modules (HDAMs), as found on the brand's Reference series hi-fi separates. The circuit boards bristle with what Marantz describes as 'high-grade' components, and there's a Pure Direct mode that bypasses all but essential circuits for optimal performance.
Audio credentials are enhanced by 32-bit DACs and decoding for any format from humble MP3 right up to DSD and other flavours of hi-res. Strip out the AV gubbins and the SR7012 would make a very fine stereo amplifier.
The Marantz's setup will be familiar to anyone versed in the Audyssey measurement process. Hold fire, however. If you plan to use the Audyssey Editor App, you need to run the setup from the app rather than the AVR's remote and GUI. While the Audyssey measurement and number-crunching is still done within the AVR, the app then uploads the data back to your smart device during the measurement process.
The Audyssey Editor App presents oodles of data, along with a plethora of target curves and adjustments to be fettled with. You can save many different setups and download them to the AVR as required. Different setups for different genres of film? No problem. The system also shows an in-room frequency response for each channel before and after Audyssey EQ. The 'after' curves shown in my setup were ambitiously flat compared to measurements using an independent RTA system.
No matter, though, because the SR7012 sounds pretty darn fine. Simply playing music to warm up for the main movie event is immediately impressive. The sound is clean, controlled and with the sort of expansive imaging that a stereo integrated amplifier would be proud of.
Firing up the other seven channels with Dolby Atmos material demonstrates an equally smooth and refined performance. There is no overt colouration to the sound that would give it a stand-out feature, like aggressive bass or frisky treble, just a well-balanced, even-handed approach to film mixes.
Tom Cruise's distinctive tone is perfectly captured in The Mummy (Blu-ray). Subtler sequences are nicely enveloping and cosset you within the atmosphere of the scene. Early in the film, dialogue and ambient effects effortlessly put you in a large military transport plane. Set up as 7.1.2, I certainly missed only having two overheads for the Atmos mix, but it wasn't a deal breaker.
As the action goes into overdrive about 10 seconds later, the Marantz picks up the pace. It peppers the room with detail and the LFE throb of a plane spiralling out of control. The roar of wind from the large hole in the fuselage rotates around my cinema, even if the sound of actors thumping into walls is far more Hollywood than reality.
It's only when you start to get enthusiastic with the volume control during such chaotic audio scenes does the Marantz start to falter. With all channels driven it struggles to hit big SPL numbers. The sound stays remarkably solid and stable up to around 90 per cent of its full volume range, but you will likely see that figure if you want to scale to 100dB peak in-room. When I edged higher, I found the sound getting a whole lot harder through the mid-range, begging you to back it down.
A foray into using a 5.1.4 speaker setup arguably suited the Marantz even better than 7.1.2. This array added more height detail and made the soundstage feel more expansive at lower volumes too. Dense scenes within the City of a Thousand Planets, from Valerian... (4K BD) are suitably warm and stifling. Each neighbourhood is filled with its own charm, the Marantz missing little in bringing both the earthy grime and vibrancy to the film's soundscape.
In general, the SR7012 acquits itself as a solid and sophisticated performer, if not an all-action monster. My Fifth Element 4K UHD reference Atmos disc is perfectly accurate and enjoyable but, when the scenes hot up, this does lack that last degree of grunt compared to more potent (and more expensive) AVRs. It's a better bet for smaller speaker packages and systems. Add to this the formidable feature set and stellar performance with stereo music, and it's warmly recommended.
We say: No powerhouse AVR but the SR7012 impresses with its extensive feature set and smooth, sophisticated sound with movies and music. | {

Sixth Circuit Finds No Injury in FDCPA Mini-Miranda Case
Anastasia V. Caton
On February 16, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit decided the case of Hagy v. Demers & Adams in which it applied the U.S. Supreme Court's precedent in Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins to find that the plaintiff debtors lacked standing to sue a debt collector in federal court over the debt collector's failure to include a mini-Miranda warning in a letter to the debtors' attorney.
The case began in 2010 when James and Patricia Hagy defaulted on a real property secured loan. After the mortgage servicer initiated foreclosure proceedings against them, the Hagys contacted the mortgage servicer's attorney, David Demers, with the law firm of Demers & Adams, in an attempt to reach a settlement with the mortgage servicer. The mortgage servicer agreed to settle the Hagys' debt through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Demers sent a letter on behalf of his mortgage servicing client to the Hagys' attorney confirming the settlement agreement. The letter did not include the mini-Miranda warning required by 15 U.S.C. § 1692e(11). In 2011, the Hagys sued Demers & Adams for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Among other things, the Hagys claimed that Demers's failure to provide the mini-Miranda warning violated the FDCPA. Eventually, both parties moved for summary judgment. In 2013, the district court granted the Hagys' motion and denied Demers's motion. In 2016, after the Supreme Court issued its decision in Spokeo, Demers asked the district court to reconsider its decision in light of Spokeo, but the district court refused. Demers appealed, and the Sixth Circuit reversed.
Applying Spokeo, the appellate court found that the Hagys could not demonstrate that the failure to provide the mini-Miranda warning was more than a "bare procedural violation," or caused them any concrete injury-in-fact. The Hagys admitted that they were pleased by the contents of the letter, which confirmed for them that the mortgage servicer had agreed to a settlement offer and waiver of any deficiency balance. The appellate court further found that Congress's creation of a disclosure requirement, without any articulation of the harms that might flow from a failure to provide the disclosure, cannot form the basis for cognizable injury-in-fact for purposes of Article III standing.
The Sixth Circuit's decision is notable because it bucks a growing trend among federal district courts and some circuit courts that have found that violations of the FDCPA, including its disclosure requirements, are sufficient to establish standing even absent evidence of actual harm. See, e.g., Zirogiannis v. Seterus, Inc., 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 17818 (2d Cir. (E.D.N.Y.) September 12, 2017); Church v. Accretive Health, Inc., 2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 12414 (11th Cir. (S.D. Ala.) July 6, 2016); Schweer v. HOVG, LLC, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 105034 (M.D. Pa. July 7, 2017). These cases suggest that because the FDCPA creates "substantive" and "informational" rights, the violation of these rights can be harmful, regardless of whether plaintiffs demonstrate any actual harm. The Sixth Circuit, however, clearly disagrees.
The Sixth Circuit's decision also stands in contrast to the Ninth Circuit's recent 2017 decision in which it applied the Supreme Court's Spokeo standard to the facts of the Spokeo case and found that even though the allegedly inaccurate information in Robins's consumer report painted him a positive light, Robins nonetheless had standing under the Supreme Court's articulation of injury-in-fact in Spokeo. See Robins v. Spokeo, Inc., 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 15211 (9th Cir. (C.D. Cal.) August 15, 2017). Spokeo, seeking to overturn the Ninth Circuit's decision, petitioned the Supreme Court for certiorari, again. The Supreme Court denied Spokeo's petition. But, perhaps as divergent circuit court cases continue to develop, the Supreme Court will ultimately agree to provide further guidance on how courts ought to apply the injury-in-fact requirements in Spokeo.

What's Remarkable about SanTan Village?
Do you remember stores before there were malls? The SanTan Village will bring back the good old feelings because you can walk down shaded sidewalks, look at window displays and park right in front of the store.
You can also park at some of the giant parking lots next to the mall. Take a walk and look down the main streets. Adventure down lanes and discover new things to experience.
It just feels homey and nice when you visit this outdoor mall.
Stores are spiffy and the feeling is upscale.
It's fun to wander around and look at all the stuff you can buy.
Try out one of the nice restaurants. Here's a picture of the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant. Lunch is elegant, prices seem to be just about right, and best of all the hosts are hometown friendly.
Check out the stone fireplace next to the sidewalk where you can enjoy a hand-crafted brew on a chilly evening.
Then there are all kinds of places to get your hard to find cosmetics. For example, Sephora has a huge selection. They have walls of perfumes that you can sample, both for boys and girls. Your man will smell like a perfume factory when you are done with him.
Then there's The Body Shop. Walk in and enjoy the fresh smelling ambience! First thing you see in the middle of the floor is a mystery table with a pitcher of water and a silver bowl. What's that for?
Well here's the story. A nice lady asked what fragrance we liked. "Lets try Bergamot." Smells good in tea so it should smell good on the hand is the reasoning.
The nice lady then will take your hand and rub it with a sea salt scrub. Then wash it off with water from the pitcher.
It feels great to have your hands massaged. Smells spectacular too. Yes it's free-- but you are done for. Let's face it, at that point we owned it and walked out of there with more stuff.
There is something for everybody, even kids.
The main focal point of the SanTan Village is the Harkins Theaters.
If you drove by them on the freeway when it was being built, there was just no clue what it was going to be. Now it's a place to hang out with friends and enjoy some good movies. A huge food court is right next to it.
The acoustics of the Harkins Theater are crisp and noticeably superior.
We saw a movie called Cloverfield about this Godzilla like creature go romping through NY City and the sounds were just right. It was not too loud but enough that you might jump out of your seat. And you will be happy to leave without your ears ringing from excess volume.
More stores are being added to the Village and you will love to discover places you might not see anywhere else.
The "Urban Village" area is south to the outdoor mall and has stores like Wal-Mart Supercenter, Sam's Club, IN-N-OUT Burger, etc. | {

Ettore Bugatti built fast cars—and just one airplane.
The Bugatti 100P is the aviation world's unicorn—an airplane so graceful and magical yet so rarely spotted that it's passed into the realm of legend.
Built in the late 1930s by the most renowned race car manufacturer in France, it was an Art Deco masterpiece designed to set records at speeds above 450 mph. Virtually every aspect of the airplane broke new ground. The slender, streamlined fuselage housed a pair of supercharged straight-eight Bugatti Grand Prix engines powering contra-rotating propellers. The wings swept forward, not back. The empennage was shaped like a Y, with a V-tail and a ventral fin, and the elevators doubled as rudders. There was even an automated flight control system—an analog computer, if you will—that was meant to prevent the pilot from making a fatal mistake.
But before the airplane could be finished and flown, World War II erupted, and the Bugatti became one of the great what-if stories in the history of aviation.
About 40 years ago, Scotty Wilson was embarking on a career as an Air Force fighter pilot. While killing time in an operations room in Tucson, he read an article about the Bugatti, and he was dazzled by its shape, style, and technological audacity. Wilson went on to amass 4,500 hours in F-100s, F-4s, and F-16s (and 6,500 hours in everything from Piper Cubs to corporate jets), but he never got the Bugatti out of his mind. He learned that the airplane had survived World War II, broken down into pieces that were hidden to prevent the aircraft from being discovered by the Germans. Later, it came to the United States and was restored for static display. Today, it hangs from the ceiling at the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
In May 2009, Wilson bought three eight-foot-long tables, joined them together, overlaid a grid of 100-millimeter squares, and started working. Not by himself. Core members of Le Rêve Bleu—The Blue Dream—team can be found in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Brazil, and the Netherlands. Wilson estimates that the project has consumed more than 10,000 hours and burned through $400,000 (some of it raised through Kickstarter). Working in a hangar in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the temperature has ranged from 112 degrees to below freezing, he's made most of the parts at least twice, many of them three times and some four, to get them just right. But now, on a bright, brisk day in February, the airframe is finally complete, and I'm on my way to Wilson's shop to meet him and see his handiwork.
I turn and behold an object painted a shade of royal blue so deep it's almost purple. The airplane is magnificent, a stunning combination of old school and new wave, a V-tail Beech Bonanza crossed with the X Fighter flown by Luke Skywalker, an antique that seems like it somehow came from the future. All I can think is Wow.

A collection of front pages after England loses to Croatia in the World Cup.
The England squad have been dubbed heroes by the media on the morning after they crashed out of the World Cup semi-final, losing 2-1 to Croatia in extra time.
Despite what is a devastating loss for Gareth Southgate and his team, not to mention supporters, many front pages focus on how far England made it through the tournament and the sense of national pride they instilled in the public.
Wednesday night's game was England's first semi-final in 28 years after the 1990 squad were defeated by West Germany in a penalty shoot-out.
The Times and The Guardian said it was the "end of the dream" while i said "Southgate's team will still return as heroes after superb World Cup effort".
Many of the photos show the players embracing Southgate. Others show the team clapping and thanking the fans amid the disappointment. | {

First remove your sim tray by pushing a sim removal tool or paperclip into the hole indicated by the arrow below. Next use a mobile phone opening tool to lever the back cover away from the bottom of the screen, at the three points indicated by the arrows below. You should now be able to run something thin and flat, like an old credit card, all the way around the join of the screen and back cover in order to separate the two parts. When removing the back cover, the battery may be stuck to it. If it is, use a hot air gun or hair dryer to direct some heat onto the battery too soften the adhesive holding it in place, then slide your credit card under the battery and it'll come unstuck from the back cover. With the back cover removed, your phone should look like below. Now turn the screen over and your phone should look like below. Remove the five Phillips head screws, circled below in red. Three ribbon cables, circled below in white, also need to be disconnected. Each cable attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever each one away from the circuit board to unplug. The switch for the power button is indicated by the arrow below. This is stuck to the housing with double sided tape. Carefully peel it away from the housing, making sure it stays attached to the circuit board at the other end. Circled below you can see another ribbon cable, connected to the circuit board via zif connectors. The ribbon is secured by a latch which opens and closes on a hinge. Carefully flick the latch towards the ribbon (the latch is shown in the closed position below) and the ribbon will then be free. Below you can see the latch in the open position. The ribbon cable is now free. Now lift the circuit board towards you. If the battery stays stuck down, apply some heat to soften to adhesive which holds the battery in place. Two more ribbon cables need to be disconnected. The ribbon circled in red has a plug and socket type connection and the cable circled in white has a zif connector. Disconnect these two cables and you can remove the circuit board. With the circuit board removed, your phone should look like below. If you want to remove the battery, first peel away the copper heat shield on the opposite side then simply pull the battery away from its socket, circled below. With the battery removed your phone should look like below. You can now remove the proximity sensor/power switch ribbon cable and front and rear facing cameras. The proximity sensor/power switch ribbon cable has a plug and socket type connection, circled in red. The cables for the front and rear cameras have a zif connector and are circled below in white. Disconnected these like the previous cables. Below you can see the proximity sensor/power switch ribbon cable and front and rear facing cameras, once they've been removed. The volume switch, indicated by the arrow below, is stuck to the side of the housing with double sided tape. Carefully peel this away from the housing. The socket for the vibrating motor is circled below in green. This connects in the same way as the battery so carefully pull the cable away from its socket to unplug. Lastly, remove the screw, circled below in red. You can now lift all the ribbon cables away from the back of the screen, as shown below. To remove the screen, apply some heat from a hot air gun or hair dryer for around 60 seconds then use a plastic tool, like an old credit card, to free the screen. Keep applying heat to soften the adhesive tape on the back of the screen and it will come free. With the screen removed, your phone should look like below. If you want to separate the touch screen from the LCD, turn the screen over and peel the top ribbon cable away from the back of the screen, then apply some heat and slide your plastic tool between the two parts of the screen to separate. The touch screen and LCD have now been separated. Disassembly is now complete. Reverse the whole procedure for reassembly.

Q: COM component in f# I'm C++ developer, who has to write a COM component in F#. The component should run on system with .NET 2.0. IDE is Visual Studio 2010. I'm pretty new to .NET and F#. I would like a simple sample of this component.
UPDATE
Thanks to Daniel for specified direction. This is my answer for the question.
namespace COM_FS
open System
open System.Runtime.InteropServices
[<Guid("6E6864CC-5FB7-44B8-B6E3-A5291C9B4AC8")>]
type IExampleFS = interface
abstract SetString : string -> unit
abstract GetString : unit -> string
end
[<Guid("01A11F64-59E1-496F-989F-7E0CC5CE8570");
ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None);
ComVisible(true)>]
type ExampleFS_Class = class
val mutable str : string
new () = { str = null }
interface IExampleFS with
member this.SetString(x) = this.str <- x
member this.GetString() = this.str
end
end
And I had to add AssemblyInfo.fs to the same AssemblyInfo.cs
namespace COM_FS
open System.Reflection
open System.Runtime.CompilerServices
open System.Runtime.InteropServices
module AssemblyInfo =
[<Literal>]
let public Version = "1.0.0.0"
[<Literal>]
let public FileVersion = "1.0.0.0"
[<assembly: AssemblyTitle("COM_FS")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyDescription("")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyCompany("Mycrosoft")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyProduct("COM_FS")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © Mycrosoft 2011")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyCulture("")>]
[<assembly: ComVisible(true)>]
[<assembly: Guid("39ADA032-BF0F-45C9-BE4A-66AD14352F63")>]
[<assembly: AssemblyVersion(AssemblyInfo.Version)>]
[<assembly: AssemblyFileVersion(AssemblyInfo.FileVersion)>]
()
And client C++ code looks like
COM_FS::IExampleFSPtr p(__uuidof(COM_FS::ExampleFS_Class));
_bstr_t str(L"world");
p->SetString(str);
wchar_t* wstr = p->GetString();
std::wcout << wstr << std::endl;
A: You can translate the interface from a C# sample one-to-one, with only minor differences in syntax. It's mostly (totally?) a matter of applying attributes. Beyond that, it's not much different from coding anything else.
UPDATE
Assuming this article is correct, here's a sampler of the syntax:
open System.Runtime.InteropServices
[<Guid("694C1820-04B6-4988-928F-FD858B95C880")>]
type DBCOM_Interface =
[<DispId(1)>]
abstract Init : userid:string * password:string -> unit
//...
[<Guid("47C976E0-C208-4740-AC42-41212D3C34F0"); InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)>]
type DBCOM_Events = interface end

Drugs and devices in the pipeline from Medivation, Astellas Pharma, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Boston Scientific, Northwest Biotherapeutics, and Generex Biotechnology.
Enrollment begins for trial of PCa agent in non-metastatic disease
Medivation, Inc. and Astellas Pharma Inc. recently announced enrollment of the first patient in a global phase III clinical trial, known as PROSPER, which will evaluate the safety and efficacy of enzalutamide (Xtandi) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational trial plans to enroll approximately 1,500 patients with non-metastatic CRPC at sites in the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America, and the Asia Pacific region. PROSPER will enroll a high-risk subgroup of patients with prostate cancer who are progressing despite androgen deprivation therapy, but who are asymptomatic with no prior or present evidence of metastatic disease. The primary endpoint of the trial is metastasis-free survival.
Generic version of popular ED agent to launch in 2017 after settlement
Teva Pharmaceuticals, USA Inc. has been granted permission to launch a generic version of sildenafil citrate (Viagra) in the U.S. on Dec. 11, 2017, or earlier under certain circumstances. The permission came as part of a settlement of litigation between Teva and Viagra manufacturer Pfizer Inc. Teva will pay Pfizer a royalty for a license to produce its generic version. Teva has received tentative approval from the FDA for its generic version, the company said in a statement.
Patient enrollment commences for study of single-incision sling
Boston Scientific recently enrolled its first patient in a postmarket surveillance study of the company's Solyx Single System, a single-incision sling system for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Boston Scientific initiated the study to compare a single-incision midurethral sling to a standard outside-in transobturator sling. Enrollment at up to 30 centers is expected to be completed by the first or second quarter of 2014, the company said. Continue to next page for more.
Phase I/II trial of solid tumor cancer agent adds second study site
MD Anderson Cancer Center, Orlando, FL has become the second site participating in the phase I/II clinical trial of DCVax-Direct, Northwest Biotherapeutics' next-generation dendritic cell product for the potential treatment of all inoperable solid tumor cancers. MD Anderson-Orlando joins MD Anderson-Houston, where the first DCVax-Direct patients were enrolled, while other patients are going through assessment for eligibility, according to Northwest Biotherapeutics. The primary endpoint of the trial for measuring the efficacy of DCVax-Direct is tumor regression.
Promising phase I data of PCa immunotherapeutic agent published
Data from a phase I trial of an immunotherapeutic agent for patients with prostate cancer, published in Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy (2013; 62:1599-608), demonstrated that the compound is safe, well tolerated, and generated a specific and robust immune response. Three years after the last dose of the compound, known as AE37, was administered, elevated levels of specific immunity could be detected, demonstrating that the vaccine had induced long-term immunologic memory, according to Generex Biotechnology Corp., whose subsidiary Antigen Express Inc. is developing the agent.
