en | N/A | N/A | "Compared with other types of tax relief, tax holidays reduce the efficiency of the tax system and the overall economy," says economist Jonathan Williams, co-author of a report released Friday.
Gasoline tax holidays are intended to lower gasoline prices at the pump. However, a 1-cent temporary gasoline tax holiday will not automatically lead to a 1-cent decrease in retail gasoline prices, making holidays an ineffective way to reduce retail gasoline prices.
Lawmakers often enact gasoline tax holidays with complex accompanying rules and regulations requiring gasoline stations to lower retail prices by the full amount of the tax cut -- effectively levying a price ceiling on the retail price of gasoline, Williams said. Gas tax holidays create administrative complexity, distort market pricing and distract the public from superior tax relief measures, he said. |

The expansion of permissions here was originally proposed in P1766, which SG2 considered in Cologne but which has never been seen by EWG (perhaps because the rest of it was considered “accepted”). EWG did see the corresponding NB comment, but the vote was too close to progress it. No issues have surfaced with the general direction, but the wording does not specify a coherent set of restrictions; as such, this wording makes most of the change (largely by separating the relevant candidates in the declaration grammar). EWG has seen this proposal several times, with varied outcomes; the most recent (in Kona 2022) requested to allow certain declarations unlikely to mislead programmers into thinking they have some effect.

en | N/A | N/A | Day 20: Life Is Not Seasonal {31 Days of Re-Entry}
We like to say life is "seasonal," but sometimes I wonder if this is an accurate description. Much of the world has four seasons, though some places have only one or two, but I think we can all agree that these seasons repeat. In life, our seasons will never repeat themselves. We have one chance at the season we are in before the next one begins, never to be repeated again. Life is more like a book with chapters, complete with plot twists and complex characters, though it may have repeating themes and recurring symbols.
I am currently in a chapter I'd title "The Narrowing." When we first got married, my husband and I coined this term because we suddenly had less than half the amount of time we used to have for personal pursuits and other relationships. We felt squeezed. And then we had kids. Now we wonder who we are and if we'll ever see our old selves again. When I returned from China, I had every intention of "using my Chinese" and staying in close contact with Chinese friends, but as I practically crash landed while hitting the pavement running on re-entry, those desires and expectations just became places of immense guilt and regret. I have already written about feeling like I have latent gifts, but I do wonder sometimes if China was just a stand-alone chapter. Was it like the older TV shows that wrapped up neatly in every episode, or was it a show with a long story arc, spanning multiple episodes? Will I see the character of China again (or perhaps just eavesdrop on her doppleganger in America?)? I had never lived in the mountains until six months ago, though it was always my dream. In Florida where I grew up, and Chicago where I lived as an adult, I would sometimes pretend the clouds on the low horizon were mountains in the distance. Now I am blessed to see mountains as I leave the grocery store. As novice mountain dwellers, we made the mistake of thinking we needed to live as close to the mountains as possible. I love knowing they're there, but am overwhelmed with awe when we drive several miles away and look back at the majestic horizon. I look forward to the day when I am not so close to the mountains in my story. One day I will have perspective. One day I will flip back through the story of my life and muse over the recurring themes and characters and perhaps be able to answer some of the "why's and what?!'s" that I have scribbled in the margins.
My husband and I went back to China after I had been in the states for a year to lead a summer trip for college students to teach English. On the trip, we met an American couple in their 70's that was leading a separate trip for adults. They had been travelling to China every summer for 20 years. I was relieved to discover that they hadn't even begun serving the Lord overseas until they were in their 50's. It gave me hope that China might be a recurring character in my story. As I begin to advance into the "not as young" group of life-livers, I am grateful for stories of goers who go much later in life. Young people have such a hard time imagining themselves past age 30 or 40, so it can be shocking when you realize that there can be so many more chapters yet to be written. T"To follow the Lord to the cross means this:
Every day you must surrender yourself--body and soul--and obediently do the work of your Father.
Wherever He leads you and whatever it costs you. I am speaking of the surrender to God of your whole life, each day, from now on. And each day God will lay out the work you must do. That is His part.

At this point in time I don't think that I will need it to fall back on since Hana is eating a healthy amount of solids along with her milk from the tap.

en | N/A | N/A | El Museu Darder és un museu que està ubicat a Banyoles, al Pla de l'estany. Forma part de la Xarxa de Museus Locals de Catalunya-Girona. És un dels més antics de les comarques gironines. Inaugurat el dia 22 d'octubre de 1916, va patir pocs canvis fins a la seva remodelació total, iniciada el 2003. El 2007 va obrir de nou les portes, incorporant a les col·leccions d'història natural una part dedicada a explicar el fenomen hidrogeològic de la conca lacustre de l'Estany de Banyoles, un fet que s'havia intentat des de molt temps enrere.
Els orígens del Museu Darder es deuen a l'activitat professional de Francesc Darder i Llimona, veterinari i taxidermista que venia animals dissecats i material d'Història Natural en una botiga a Barcelona. Arran de l'Exposició Universal de 1888, la botiga es va passar a conéixer com a Museo Darder amb la voluntat d'oferir un espai museístic de temàtica naturalista a la ciutat. D'altra banda, Darder era també director del Parc Zoològic de Barcelona des de la seva fundació, l'any 1892, seu del Laboratori Ictiogènic que tenia com a objectiu la repoblació dels rius i estanys de Catalunya. Darder era un assidu visitant de Banyoles i la manca de peixos que patia l'Estany de Banyoles va interessar-lo de manera que va iniciar diversos estudis d'aclimatació i portaria a la celebració de la Festa del Peix l'any 1910.
Es tracta del segon museu més antics de la província de Girona, ja que es va inaugurar el 22 d'octubre de 1916, quan Francesc Darder i Llimona va donar les seves col·leccions d'història natural al municipi de Banyoles. Des del moment de la seva creació, ocupa un edifici de la Plaça dels Estudis número 2.
L'any 1910 Francesc Darder va iniciar una estreta relació de col·laboració amb l'ajuntament de Banyoles, amb la celebració de la primera Festa del Peix, i l'exposició de piscicultura que es va dur a terme a l'edifici de la plaça dels Estudis número 2, on anys més tard, s'hi acabaria instal·lant el museu. Anys més tard, el dia 24 de juliol de 1915 l'Ajuntament de Banyoles considera interessant la proposta de Francesc Darder i del botànic Sr. Caballero de crear un museu i una biblioteca popular. El govern municipal va decidir ubicar el museu en dues sales dels baixos de l'edifici que allotjava la seu de lEscuela Graduada de Niñas'' tot i la ferma oposició de la directora d'aquesta institució. El museu es va inaugurar el dia 22 d'octubre de 1916, en plena festa Major, diferenciant fins a tres parts: zoologia, indústries derivades dels productes animals i anatomia humana.
Amb el temps i gràcies a les seves col·leccions d'animals exòtics, es va convertir en un atractiu d'interès cultural. El fons es va anar ampliant amb les aportacions desinteressades d'amants de la història natural, fins a arribar a les 20.000 peces.
Va mantenir gairebé intacta la seva museografia fins al 2003, any en què el museu es va tancar per iniciar un procés de remodelació, que duraria fins al 2007, quan obriria les portes de nou.
És un edifici de planta rectangular, antigament de tres plantes. L'entrada principal està davant la plaça dels Estudis. La majoria de les obertures rectangulars són emmarcades i distribuïdes de forma simètrica. Al damunt hi destaca una clau pentagonal en relleu. Una cornisa llisa delimita les plantes a la façana. A la façana posterior de l'edifici hi havia una galeria triple oberta amb tres arcs de mig punt. A la façana lateral encara es pot llegir "Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia. Centro de formación profesional".
Planta segona: Oficines del Museu, Oficines del Consorci de l'Estany, Oficina de Limnos, Sales de Reunions, Centre de Documentació-Biblioteca, Lavabos.
Lleó: Francesc Darder va tenir, quan era director del Zoo de Barcelona, una especial dedicació als lleons. A l'Espai Darder se'n pot veure una foto dins una gàbia amb lleons, tranquil·lament assegut. Al museu s'hi conserven quatre lleons dissecats i quatre cranis procedents de la Col·lecció Darder. En tractar-se d'una espè Home anatòmic: Peça de finals del fabricada per la casa francesa Deyrolle, on Francesc Darder adquiria molts dels objectes educatius que posteriorment venia a la seva botiga de ciències naturals de Barcelona. Conserva la seva base original de fusta, encara que semblaria que no ha portat mai les rodetes que Darder anunciava als seus catàlegs. Té parts desmuntables (els dos braços, mig cap i la part del tòrax) i, originàriament, tenia totes les vísceres, fetes amb paper maixé.
Lluci: Fins al 1910, l'Estany era força pobre quant a peixos, degut a les seves característiques naturals. Francesc Darder va fomentar les repoblacions amb la Festa del Peix. El 1954 s'aconsella la introducció d'un depredador, el lluci, per a controlar la població de carpes i gardis, tot i que acaba menjant-se les poques espècies autòctones que quedaven. Uns anys més tard, la Societat de Pescadors pesca un dels darrers llucis (que per sort no van arribar a reproduir-se), i en fa donació al museu.
Nàiades: Les nàiades són mol·luscs bivalves, tres espècies de les quals són endèmiques de l'Estany de Banyoles. Viuen al fons fangós de l'Estany i als recs, en zones de llims i amb ombra. Són animals filtradors que solen indicar una bona qualitat de les aigües i viuen semienterrats al llot. Poden arribar a fer més de dotze centímetres i tenir longevitats superiors als trenta anys. Les larves necessiten parasitar certes espècies de peixos abans de canviar a l'estadi d'adult.
Papallona isabelina: La papallona isabelina és de les més boniques que es poden trobar a la comarca. Descoberta per Mariano de la Paz Graells a mitjans del , s'alimenta de fulles d'alguns pins i viu en zones muntanyoses. El mascle i la femella són lleugerament diferents. És present al Pla de l'Estany, on s'han trobat els quatre exemplars del Museu Darder. A l'Espai Darder, tres vitrines mostren papallones i altres artròpodes, tant autòctons com exòtics.
Niuets: Una de les seccions de l'Espai Darder està dedicada a la botiga de ciències naturals que regentava Francesc Darder a Barcelona. Allà hi venia material de ciències dirigit a escoles i instituts de secundària. Es tracta doncs de material educatiu, entre el que podem destacar la col·lecció de 32 bolets realitzats en paper maixé pel reconegut preparador francès de models Auzoux. Molts dels exemplars, com aquests niuets, són parcialment desmuntables i se'n pot veure l'interior o un tall sagital.
Llúdriga: Un dels animals més emblemàtics de l'Estany de Banyoles és la llúdriga, un mamífer indicador de la qualitat de les aigües. A mitjans del segle XX l'espècie havia desaparegut de l'Estany, però a principis del segle XXI ha aconseguit recuperar-se gràcies a les repoblacions realitzades al riu Fluvià, des d'on ha tornat a Banyoles. Es desconeix la procedència de l'exemplar que s'exposa a l'Espai Estany, que és destacable per l'excel·lent treball del taxidermista que el va preparar. |

I was wondering the same thing about the tinfoil and its blocking capabilities. Do you think multiple sheets would fix the problem or do you think the use of copper mesh is definitely needed. Anyone know of a good source of cheap low quatities of copper mesh?
I'm not sure if the tin foil might be enough or not, but as for where to get copper mesh...

en | N/A | N/A | Columbus, Ohio -- As prosecutors and defense attorneys prepared and presented final arguments after four weeks of testimony in the federal bank robbery trial of alleged Aryan Republican Army co- leader Peter Langan, all the real drama was happening off-stage.In Philadelphia, a federal grand jury handed up a new federal racketeering indictment against Langan, Christian Identity minister Mark Thomas, and three others who had already been tied to the Aryan Republican Army. But the new three count indictment was not what had the courtroom abuzz.The most startling revelation was made by Langan's lover, Cherie Roberts, who told reporters during an off-the-cuff discussion in the courtroom that both she and Langan are transsexuals."She is my soul mate and we are lovers," said Roberts, referring to Langan. At one point when asked by a U.S. Marshal not to communicate with Langan, Roberts broke into tears and said, "I can't talk to my wife." According to the account Roberts gave to reporters, she and Langan decided to become life partners in October 1995. Roberts, who prefers to be known by her male name, Mishka Alexander Jackson, showed off a silver band on her ring finger. Fingering another ring with a large stone that hung around her neck to symbolize their union, she said, "I hope someday to be able to put this on her finger." Although Roberts' statements were not part of Langan's case and the jury never heard her voluntary account, one defense witness lent credence to Roberts' story in sketchy testimony about Langan's appearance in June 1994. Kimberly Dorman testified that Langan's hair was long enough to touch his shoulders just days after a Cincinnati area bank was robbed by a male whom witnesses describe as having much shorter hair.Outside the courtroom, Dorman said that he knew Langan as Donna McClure, who dressed as a woman and attended two social gatherings of the Kansas City chapter of Crossdressers & Friends in May and June 1994. During this period, testimony shows, Langan rented a safehouse in nearby Pittsburg, Kansas under the name Don McClure.Dorman, who has legally changed his name to Kimberly, said he assumed "Donna McClure" was a preoperative transsexual like himself. Although he says he is a former president of Kansas City Crossdressers & Friends, and by his own account the most famously "out" transsexual in that city, Dorman said he didn't know Roberts/Jackson.Although it has not been introduced in this trial, the medical record of an exam at the time of Langan's arrest shows that his pubic hair had been shaved and his toenails were painted pink.Even when he dons a dark blue suit and tie for trial, Langan's appearance is unusual. The red dye on his nearly waist-length brown ponytail is fading now after a year in jail, but he still maintains long, polished fingernails. Langan and Roberts exchanged glances, blew kisses to each other, and mouthed "I love you" during the three days she was in the courtroom.Roberts was reluctant to talk much about the relationship with Langan, saying only, "She's a sweetie. There is no way she could have done what they say she's done." Roberts was optimistic, saying she thought there was a possibility Langan would be freed if he is found not guilty in this trial. That rosy scenario is highly unlikely. Even if Langan was acquitted on the five counts of bank robbery and explosives possession he is facing here, the U.S. Attorney still has 7 counts of explosives possession and assault on federal agents, charges resulting from a shoot-out with the FBI during his arrest, as well as the possibility of trials on 20 other robberies the government claims he committed. This tally doesn't include the new charges filed last week. Langan and previously identified co-conspirators Scott Stedeford and Richard Guthrie were indicted along with Mark Thomas and Michael Brescia. Brescia is best known as the person militia and conspiracists claim was John Doe #2 in the Oklahoma City bombing.Thomas, the Pennsylvania leader of Aryan Nations, has been holding "Hilter-fests" and other skinhead music events politics at his compound for the last several years to bring in new recruits to Christian Identity. In his internet magazine "The Watchman" Thomas has expressed admiration for The Order, another neo-nazi bank robbery gang that killed Denver talk show host Alan Berg in 1984, and for pseudo-populist bank robber Pretty Boy Floyd. The government's latest charges center on seven of the 22 banks they claim the Aryan Republican Army robbed over two years in seven states. Another co-conspirator, Kevin McCarthy, who has pled guilty to three bank robbery and related counts, testified last week that the group's goal was "At press time on February 6, the jury in the Columbus trial had just begun deliberations. Cherie Roberts/Mishka Jackson waited to hear the fate of Peter Langan/Donna McClure, certain of one thing: "I know she's innocent."For immediate update on the verdict, call the reporters: |||PHONE_NUMBER||| . (Email |||EMAIL_ADDRESS||| [SIDEBAR] OFF-STAGE PLAYERS If Cherie Roberts' story about their life together is true it may give pause to some of Peter Langan's supporters, but he would hardly be the first fascist to bend what that movement officially views as unbreakable gender roles. It is likely that neither Roberts nor Langan consider themselves "gay." After tolerating the presence of homosexuals and other "deviants" in this section of the Nazi party until he came to power, Hitler on June 30, 1934 ordered a bloody purge, which he called "The Night of the Long Knives," to rid the party of hundreds of these and other "Unwanted Persons." Some writers, especially followers of Wilhelm Reich, have argued that fascism is a movement built on the containment and violent suppression of sexual desire.Anti-fascist activists caution, however, that sympathy for oppressed gender outlaws has its limits. As Jim MacNamara of the Anti-Racist Action network commented on hearing of Langan's latest secret, "If you were a secretary feeling the floor fall away from under her feet, or a mother who had her child in that daycare center [in Oklahoma City], you wouldn't care that the monster who planted that bomb was sexually repressed."While no direct link has been established between , members of the cell on trial here share a common strategic vision with Timothy McVeigh. To accomplish their goal of armed overthrow of the U.S. Government, they believe, requires a "leaderless resistance" capable of mobilizing widespread action while protecting against prosecution for criminal conspiracy. One of the most active proponents of this strategy in recent years has been Mark Thomas. His upcoming trial, expected to start about a year from now, will test the theory that "leaderless resistance" is just a constitutionally-protected idea, rather than a blueprint for race war. |

en | N/A | N/A | Spoiler Alert: The following story details the plot of Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verses .
Those who believe that superheroes will only become holy through their classic identities will likely assume Spider-Man: In the Spider Verse with an unpleasant rash.
Pine plays the Peter Parker of Miles & # 39; New York City; Johnson plays the Parker of New York City. He is also the hero, but not so much the man who is unable to balance spider duties against his marriage to Mary Jane Watson (Zoë Kravitz). To get from one Parker to another, Wilson Fisk (Liev Schreiber), who plays with a Super Collider for personal reasons, has to pay for the crazy science. The collider rips reality and allows Spider Folks from other dimensions to flow into Miles & # 39 ;. Spider-wife, Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), will be their robot Sp // dr and Peter Porker (John Mulaney) become his Spider coaches, though Miles, who is new to the superhero gig, can not keep up. At least not first.
Spider-Man: In The Spider Verse reads as the best kind of answer on anti-diversity threads traced throughout the modern comic book geekdom, it's a great Spider-Man movie that uses inclusiveness to fulfill the promise of Spider-Man character.
Anyone can be Spider-Man, the movie tells the audience – and Spider-Man can be anyone.
The Spider Verse is a joy to behold. It pulls the audience into the frame as good comic books pull their readers into their panels. Each cut acts as a page break, and each turn enhances the dynamics of the movie, giving every minute an urgency that the average action comic movie usually lacks.
The film is smart, energetic and has a great time in the movies as well as a treasure trove of dazzling craftsmanship. It's also a great example of how a movie gets a cartoon character. "Essence" is the buzzword that people throw around when judging whether new interpretations of superhero icons pass by, and Into the Spider verses is all essential.
People read comic books because they crave for resonance, they want to recognize parts of their world and their lives in their favorite series Into the Spider's verse gets that. "We're all Spider-Man," says the film – a sentiment reaffirmed by a quote from the late, great Stan Lee during the credits role: "This person that helps others just because it has or does have to be done and because it's right, is undoubtedly a true superhero. "
Lee and superpowers aside, it's still a special satisfaction to watch Miles pulling the habit and growing into his role as Spider-Man, what the character's biggest role is confirming truth in the process. Spider-Man is not a person. Spider-Man is an ideal, and this ideal lives iom. |

By Kerry Kennedy Reprint | | Print |
NEW YORK, Dec 12 2006 (IPS) - Because Argentinahas experienced the trauma caused by a military dictatorship, there is hope that it will back an immediate and binding Security Council resolution on Burma, writes Kerry Kennedy, author of \”Speak Truth to Power\” last year during a trip to the Navy Mechanics School in Buenos Aires, which was a prison and centre for torture during the military dictatorship, she heard government officials, survivors, and mothers of the disappeared testify how their capacity to survive often depended on their faith that they were not alone, that people on the outside cared. The author, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, argues that just as current Argentinean leaders testified that international solidarity was crucial to their fight against the military regime, so the support of Argentina and the international community is crucial now to Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Burma. For the first time the Security Council is considering a resolution to charge Burma\’s military dictatorship with grave human rights violations since it took power in 1990. The poem by Ariel Dorfman, renowned Chilean author and playwright who was born in Argentina, which follows this article, can be published together or separately.
Despite differences in culture, history, and circumstance, I have heard similar stories from other dissidents around the world. From Chile to South Africa to Indonesia, the bravest people on earth, human rights defendersor their work, say that during their dark moments of despair, news of effective international support lifted their spirits and infused them with determination.
Today, the people of the Southeast Asian country of Burma find themselves in a similar struggle, risking their lives to call for peaceful change and national reconciliation. Their leader isleadsin 1990 won 82 percent of the seats in parliament in Burma’s last, ill-fated democratic election. Burma’s ruling military junta annulled the results and has ruled by country by brutal force ever since.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s imprisonment, however, is only the most visible aspect of the human rights and humanitarian nightmare in Burma. The abuses of the military junta go far beyond brutal torture, murder, and disappearances.
Thankfully, there is hope. Last September, the UN Security Council voted to place Burma on its permanent agenda — for the first time in history. South Africa’s Nobel Peace laureate launched the idea for the Security Council to address Burma. Risking their lives, the leaders ofstrongly endorsed the effort.
Don’t believe them. It is time for the generals to be held to account.

en | N/A | N/A | ʻUluʻulu presenting Documenting Activism and panel on recording the rise of Hawaiian movement
Author Greg Wiles Date November 2, 2017
The ʻUluʻulu Archive will present Documenting Activism on Nov. 6
ʻUluʻulu produced the 45-minute film to commemorate the first landing by activists on the island of Kaho‘olawe (January 4, 1976) to protest military use of the island for bombing practice. Although the activists were eventually arrested, the event was a seminal moment for the movement. The film draws footage from Moʻolelo o ka ʻāina, a 1984 KITV production that was unique among commercial broadcasters at the time in attempting to address Native Hawaiian issues from the perspective of Hawaiians. To this ʻUluʻulu has added raw footage from its Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana collection which highlights footage of activists preparing for the first voyage to Kaho‘olawe, as well as the initial landing on the island.
Both Moʻolelo o ka ʻāina and Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana collection footage have been preserved by ʻUluʻulu. The Documenting Activism is representative of this mission; the powerful moments captured on film serve as a witness to the movement of hoʻoponopono (to put right) which continues to influence filmmakers and activists. The footage brings to light those who , while recognizing how these images are being used today.
The event will include a panel discussion by filmmakers who captured the early years of the movement along with an examination about how the footage has impacted the next generation of documentarians and activists.

The panel will be moderated by Heather Giugni, ʻUluʻulu cultural collections specialist/producer.
Kevin Coates. Coates helped document efforts to stop the bombing of Kaho‘olawe after the first landing and record moments that represent Protect Kaho‘olawe ‘Ohana’s perseverance and illustrate the strength of the movement. Coates previously had produced a documentary titled “Atomique Tahiti,” a film that helped turn opinion against atmospheric atomic bomb testing there. Since 1990 to the present, he is an underwater videographer for the Hana Reef Watch Organization and Hana Bay Outfitters, and continues to document ongoing efforts to reinstate Hawaiian Nation and Sovereignty.
Joan Lander. An independent filmmaker, has been part of the documentary team Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina, which has produced more than 90 programs focusing on the land and people of Hawai‘i and the Pacific. The documentaries examine traditional Hawaiian culture, history, language, art, music, environment, independence and sovereignty, and have been seen on PBS, Hawai‘i public and commercial television stations, and cable networks in Canada, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Japan, Mexico and Europe. Currently, Lander is working to preserve, digitize and make accessible thousands of hours of footage in the Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina library.

en | N/A | N/A | Forgive my ignorance I am new to the TCP/IP stack scene. I am currently trying to get the LWIP stack up and running with FreeRTOS on a Microblaze based system. I have successfully started a TCP server and managed to connect a client. The test code I have hacked together simply writes a string containing an incremental count from the server to the client (15 bytes or so at 1Hz), which the client receives and then prints to the screen.
I am aware that the when sending data to LWIP it is under no obligation to put the data on the wire as soon as it receives it (I think that is part of the TCP protocol). It can wait a period of time to see if new data arrives so it can send it in more efficient manner.
Using Wireshark, I am seeing the data packaged up into various size frames (maximum about 300 bytes). LWIP can do this for approximately 20 seconds, however, the client does not seem to be losing any data.
What are the parameters of the stack that govern this behaviour? Can LWIP be configured (lwipopts.h) to minimize this effect? Would this be in keeping the TCP protocol design principles? |
en | N/A | N/A | Why Indian Rupee Is Falling Against US Dollar? (Explained)
The Bretton Woods agreement made the US Dollar the official leader of the World’s reserve currency supported by the world’s largest gold reserves. This was after the Second World War. Even today the USD is one of the world’s strongest currencies. The Dollar bill as we know it today was printed in 1914. Even today, India, hold almost 60% of their reserves in USD.
Currency Demand and Force
Indian Rupee against the USD
What Does the Future Hold for Indian Rupee?
In simple terms, the value of any currency increases with an increase in the demand for it and decreases with the decrease in demand for it. On the global stage, the force of currencies is determined by central banks. However, the demand for the said currency is determined byuntry.
The same rule applies to foreign exchange requests. The higher the demand for foreign exchange, the more currency falls.
Why the Indian Rupee Is Falling Against the Dollar?
In the post-Covid world of 2022, India has seen a steady decline in the value of INR against the dollar. It is imperative to understand that the Indian Rupee has steadily downgraded against the dollar for several decades. One of the key reasons for this has been the rising inflation affecting the Indian Economy.
Currently, the Indian Rupee is valued at around INR 79 to 1 USD. The last couple of weeks has seen the Indian Rupee reach an all-time low value of INR 79 against 1 USD. There are several reasons for this steep decline, some domestic as well.
One of the key reasons for this decline is the pullout of FIIs in an uncertain global market. Added to this are thwar.
This has led to investors retreating from emerging markets like India to the safety net of the USD. According to the latest figures, the Foreign Portfolio Investor outflow is to the tune of 2.11 Lac Crore.
Reasons domestic in nature include the steep price rise in crude oil. Added to this pressure is the elevated cost of edible oil again due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In light of the fact that most of India’s crude oil and edible oil requirements are imported, this elevated price will continue to put pressure on the Indian Rupee.
The Indian Rupee's performance has been backed into a corner. Worsening terms of trade on the global platform, geo-political instability, FIIs foreign institutional investor outflow and the crowning glory – RBI’s FOREX stance. However, the scenario is not as grim as it looks on the outside.
On the Global Stage, the Indian currency has held up against the dollar a far sight better than some other counterparts. This showcases a light at the fast-approaching end of the tunnel.

The effects of the war in the short term will be seen in the upcoming quarter which might continue to put pressure on the Indian Rupee. In the short-term future, the Indian Rupee may settle down between INR 77 to INR 79 against 1 USD. a strengthening INR in the global markets in the future.
First and foremost is the fact that the RBI has a comfortable FOREX reserve. Even though the Indian current deficit is well over 90 billion USD, this reserve would help prevent further weakening of the Indian Rupee against the USD.
Whilr a few months, it also triggered companies to relook at their internationally located manufacturing units, most of them based in China.
The overall unfriendly policies of the Chinese Government have also prompted most manufacturing companies to start looking at alternative emerging markets like India and Indonesia to set up their plants. This is also likely to attract FIIs back into the country and increase their investment portfolios
Is spending good for the economy? Should we Save or Invest?
As the Indian economy strengthens with the domestic financial markets edge towards a bull run, the signs are all there, that even though the immediate future is slightly bleak, there is every reason to hope for a fantastic recovery of the Indian Rupee against the USD.
What are the reasons for the decrease in rupee value?
Rising crude oil prices, rising import costs and the Russia-Ukraine war are some of the reasons for the fall in the rupee against the us dollar.
What happens when the rupee falls against the dollar?
If the rupee faals against the dollar the cost of raw materials will increase which will be passed on to the consumers so the cost of products will also increase.

Charlie’s Angels: Film Review
The 2019 edition works as an origin story for a new trio of Angels working for Charles Townsend, now the anonymous boss of an international detective agency run by multiple Bosleys, played by Elizabeth Banks (also director, co-writer and producer), Patrick Stewart and Djimon Hounsou. The action primarily follows Elena Houghlin (Naomi Scott), a scientist who helped build a revolutionary energy device named Calisto. She knows it can also be used as a weapon and is not ready for sale and someone wants her to keep quiet. Existing Angels ) are forced to work as a team to protect Elena and destroy all the Calisto devices.
First things first, I think this film has been done dirty by the marketing. Most people think it’s a reboot when it’s not – it acknowledges all the existing Angels that have come before – and the clips in the trailer make it look rubbish. I was really hoping that wouldn’t be the case. In truth, it is sadly a mixed bag – it starts off quite weak but then gets better and better as it goes along and becomes the film I was hoping it would be towards the end.
The issue is the film is too caught up with its globe-trotting plot and forgets to develop these characters and make us like them until later. A lot happens and while it is fairly fun to watch I would have preferred more character moments so we could learn more about them and their backgrounds. What I love about the previous Charlie’s Angels is that they are a sisterhood and firm friends and that vital component is missing here. Elena is a complete newbie, all wide-eyed awe and naiveté, while Jane and Sabina don’t initially work well together as they prefer to do things solo. The film became so much better when all three started working as a team and showed so much promise in the credits montage teasing Elena officially becoming an Angel. For this reason, I would love a sequel because I truly believe it found its footing towards the end and would be fully awesome next time. But I doubt they will have the opportunity given the box office numbers.
It doesn’t help that the plot relies too heavily on “oh, this person got away” and “oh, this object got away” as reasons why the action needs to continue, so it’s not the most inspired. Like the first two movies, this one has a twist that reveals the mission wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. The twist was good and really stepped things up in terms of stakes but I struggled to follow the overly complicated plot, who was working for whom, and who was the true villain of the piece. The script also needed to be funnier and have more light-hearted moments.
I figured that this film wouldn’t use the ridiculous slo-mo stunts (or The Prodigy heavy soundtrack) of the other two but I was disappointed that they used guns so much as I loved the hand-to-hand combat of the others. There is plenty of action though and Balinska nails it in these sequences. She is damn badass and cool.
In fact, British newcomer Balinska is the star of the show. Banks said recently on Graham Norton that she wanted to find a new action heroine and Balinska is absolutely that. She looks strong and fierce, is super tall and is very capable in action scenes. I love Stewart (I’m sure you’re all aware) and I was surprised that she signed up for this. She hasn’t done a blockbuster in years. I really enjoyed seeing her doing something completely different – being the goofy, quirky one tasked with delivering the most laughs (“mo’ money, mo’ problems” killed me). I wanted to see her do more cool action moves – she’s generally the attention-seeking diversion while Jane does the hard stuff. Scott was a revelation in Aladdin and she is very likeable here. She’s the audience’s eyes into this new world and a smart scientist and hacking whizz to boot. I loved her first fight scene too. I must also mention the work of the fantastic wardrobe department.
Charlie’s Angels had to do a lot to justify its existence and it doesn’t quite achieve it. It gets so good in the final 45 minutes but it’s a case of too little too late. That’s a real the new characters and the three actresses and I would personally love another movie showing them working as an official Angel team.

en | N/A | N/A | Committing leadership and resources is a top priority
When selecting a partner for your government security program, it’s important to keep in mind the four C’s that lead to success: commitment, compliance, coverage and communication. Success in the government security market comes when a company commits its leadership and resources to all segments of the government market—federal, state and local—placing a top priority on the compliance and certification of people, projects and systems that cover the entire country while relying on strong centralized and local communication.
Commitment goes beyond a flashy brochure. It means that a security provider has adequate staff dedicated to serving the government market. To ensure success, specific expertise is needephysical security systems and solutions for government projects, whether directly with the end user or technology partners. Customers must be confident their government partner today will remain their government partner in the future. Customers are looking for a security partner that has insight and knowledge of government-mandated compliance reporting requirements and procurement standards, program management best practices and attentiveness to its partners’ overall needs.
A company’s commitment to the government sector must include a blend of focus, timing, transparency and compliance. A company must sustain a strong focus on the strategic, albeit distinct, segments of federal, state and local government projects; a strong knowledge of relevant procurement practices, trends and forecasts; a detailed understanding of performance objectives and requirements; and the applicable resources timed to maximize responses to pragmatic opportunities. In addition, by providing a company-wide philosophy of transparency, and by cultivating and educating a dedicated operations team and ensuring meticulous attention to documentation requirements, success will be achieved.
As with the real estate business where it’s “location, location, location,” the government market is about “compliance, compliance, compliance.” In strengthening a security government program, the compliance procedures of the government operations team must be emphasized.
Employing a multitude of contracting vehicles also is critical to helping develop all government agencies’ security easily and quickly. Understanding compliance requirements affects the speed and transparency of procurement as well, and the adherence to policy of procurement is vital in the government sphere and will help launch a company’s success within the market drastically. In the government security sector, companies that provide expertise in the procurement process and a willingness to work with customers throughout its entirety are more likely to experience greater achievements in the field.
A critical component of compliance includes the continual training and adding of newly certified high-security representatives in each market and establishing strict standards for staff. By requiring that only tested high-security staff work with government and defense contractors, a company begins to create a reliable reputation for having a full, government security sector and positions itself as an easy, wellinformed choice for potential and current customers.
Specially trained and knowledgeable personnel will know the language of the market and, most importantly, will be well-versed in the requirements associated with working in high security. In sustaining this kind of dialogue, providers bolster their image of proficiency within the market, positioning themselves as leaders with invaluable intelligence.
Proximity at a local project level is also critical to a successful government program. Being able to have the same types of face-to-face meetings with local project managers greatly improves the success of individual installations. Having local company offices throughout the nation that serve the government customers separates those who dabble in government security from those who are truly committed to the government customers and market. |
en | N/A | N/A | We’ve all heard the term “ransomware” before, but in case you haven’t, here is a little primer. In plain English, ram’s computer and attempts to have them pay a “ransom” to use it again. Typically, the victim’s files are encrypted so they cannot be read, then the victim is forced to contact the organization responsible for paying the ransom. Most of the time, the files are never recovered.
DarkSide is a type of ransomware attack that was first seen in 2020. Once it infects a network, the ransomware is not concerned with being stealthy; instead, it moves laterally, exfiltrating any unencrypted data as it progresses. It terminates selected processes while avoiding some like Team Viewer. Team Viewer allows for secure remote access to the system and runs in the background. See below for technical details.
Thewith a custom checksum of the Media Access Controller (MAC) address. Each executable is customized and will include a personalized “Welcome to Dark” ransom note, including the amount of the stolen data, Currently, the ransomware encryption iAt this time, investigators from several states, local, and federal law enforcement are restricting information about the hack of Colonial Pipelinuse of the DarkSide RaaS ransomware by a Russian-speaking threat group. Data does suggest that the group behind the attack shares the same techniques, tactics, and protocols (TTPs) as the DarkSide actors.
Since 2016 the threat group CARBON SPIDER has used various remote access trojans (RATs) to enable continued access to networks and systems. During this time, the group gained some notoriety using low-volume phishing attacks on corporations. The adversaries tool bag included the Sekur implant (aka Anunak), which has been used since 2016, and the Harpy (aka Griffon) backdoor has been used from 2018 through 2020. CARBON SPIDER uses Cobalt Strike extensively for lateral movement, as well as post-exploitation tools like PowerSPloit.
In April 2020, the group shifted focus away from narrow campaigns to operations attempting to infect many victims across all areas of business. The goal of these campaigns was to deliver REvil ransomware, which intelligence sources suggest they obtained from the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) vendor PUNCHY SPIDER. It is likely the group shifted targets because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Typically, the group infects a DC first before exfiltrating data and deploying ransomware.
In August 2020, the group introduced its own ransomware, DarkSide. The adversary began deploying DarkSide, likely to avoid sharing profits with PINCHY SPIDER. In November of 2020, the group took another step to using RaaS by allowing other actors to use DarkSide while paying a cut.
After gaining an initial foothold in the target network, the attackers begin the information gathering phase about the company and environment. If the profile reflects one of the group’s “prohibited targets,” they will abandon the attack research suggests. If not, the attackers move forward.
They collect files, credentials, and other sensitive information and exfiltrate the data. The ad while abusing the Certutil.exe and Bitsadmin.exe services.
The attacker also creates a shared folder on the infected machine and uses PowerShell to download a copy there.
Once the malware has been downloaded to the domain controller using shared folders, the attacker creates a scheduled task called “Test1” configured to execute the ransomware.
VSS, SQL, svc, memtas, mepocs, Sophos, veeam, and backup.
It then creates a connection to its command and control (C2) server, and data analysis shows the following domains were present: temisleyes[.] and catsdegree[.]com.
It then enumerates the running processes and terminates different ones to unlock their file to both steal related information and encrypt them.
The ransomware encrypts data utilizing a SALSA20 key to encrypt files, and the key is then encrypted with a public RSA-1024 bit key included in the executable. Reverse engineering the code, the malware doesn’t encrypt files belonging to several installed language groups: Russian-419, Ukrainian-422, Georgian-437, Tajik-428, and many more. |

In the current century America has committed this error by targeting Russia without a fully thought out plan. Let's take a look at a number of "sure-fire" actions intended to weaken Russia and bring her to her knees - an ill-conceived plan which took the form of a three-pronged attack.
Information warfare. There is a popular belief that if you repeat a lie often enough most people will confuse it with an unassailable truth. This tactic can often succeed, but not always. The flip side to this technique is the unexpected "sky is falling" phenomenon. If you make a claim too often without any empirical evidence (Collusion, Hacking, Poisoning etc) people will no longer pay attention to you and even scoff at continuous attempts to convince them of your dubious claimss. |

en | N/A | N/A | t understand.’
Tears blurred my vision. I knew I'd be dead beat in the morning.
The evening chorus of birds' song was deafening. We let the fire burn out. The grey cinders glowed again as the air blew through.
It was very creepy in the woods. We heard the cries of the night owls. John answered the owl's cry, imitating it exactly. He cast his mind back over the day. ‘I bet nobody's been here before.’ He heard the sharp crack of a twig.
Ashes blew into John's face from the dead fire. Lightning played across the sky. The silence was uncanny. A pallid moon shone fitfully between the ragged clouds. I felt a few spots of rain. I broke a branch off and stabbed at the ground with it.
The wail rose, remote and unearthly. The voice belonged to a human being. ‘He'll be alright,’ I said to myself, trying to quell a growing unease.
When we broke camp in the morning, we found animal tracks all around us. Drops of moisture hung in the hedges and cobwebs. There was a rustle in the bracken. The beautiful bronze and green in the landscape... We were surrounded by birds and beasts and plants: forests of ash, elm, and beech. There was a bit of rabbit's fur caught on a clump of thistles. The bracken was turning to the dusky gold of a fine autumn. The tracks petered out a mile or two later. There was blink of bright light beyond the forest.
John finished his sandwich. ‘It looks almost like frost in those fields, but I guess its only dew.’
We talked for hours and hours. ‘What's that?’
‘Some sort of blackbird, I guess.’
The bird was frantically beating its stubby wings.
‘What colour was the bird?’
‘It was blue, with a yellow front. Many are brilliantly coloured. These birds live by scavenging carrion. The mother birds stay together while they're feeding the chicks.’
‘I would like to brush up my zoology.’
‘Their nests are roughly built platforms of twigs. They lay comparatively few eggs.’
The bird was busy preening his glossy blue-black feathers. There was blood on the breast feathers. With a frightened chirrup, the bird flew away.
‘People like to look at animals and birds.’ He slowed down to his usual steady amble. ‘To tell you the truth, birds bore me too. It is not in our interest to tear one another to pieces.’
The sun managed to break through for a while this afternoon. ‘We'll have to cut across country. I think I know where we are. We might have to cross a swamp or quicksand.’
We set off on another four hour trek through swamps and fields. We moved through fields and over ditches, past bushes alight with glow-worms and fireflies. He kept trying to jump over ditches and ponds, miscalculating, and then falling in. The stubble was burning on the harvested fields. The whole sky above us was filled with huge brown birds—huge brown birds flapping their wings furiously to gain height. The shape of their bodies changes with astonishing speed. They were trying to find food for their brood.
It started to bucket down. The ditches beside the fields were alive with the croaking of frogs. Frogs may grow eight inches long. They breed near stagnant water, such as a slimy pond. The males are bulkier than the females. Many frogs amplify the sound of their voices using special sacs in their throats. The water teems with thousands of organisms.
John gave vent to a strange animal sound. ‘Bother!'
‘My watch has stopped.’ John's hands trembled as he struck a match. He was deathly white. ‘Do you remember Mary Stuart?’
‘What of her?’
‘Mary Stuart put a beseeching hand on my arm.’
Then he got very mysterious and told me to think about it. ‘My mother died in a freak accident, struck by lightning at a picnic. I don't know how to explain it. Electrical storms raged in the clouds, bombarding the land and the sea with lightning. When we crossed the bridge over the Lauter, there was a tremendous flash. Lightning bolts came crashing down all around us.’
I wanted to be on my own but it seemed churlish to send him away. ‘I think we should drink to the bounty of nature.’
I was trying to quell a growing unease. Darkness was coming on apace. We were looking for a good place to camp. A glow of light appeared over the sea.
The cottage was miles from anywhere. John plucked off for himself some of the ripened fruits. He looks at the garden he has planted. ‘All the trees are grown from seed.’
At the moment our tree looks like nothing more than a branch. The roses are just coming into flower. The cabbages had already started to decay. He drew an analogy between horticulture and god watching over the world. ‘God watches over us. A million years is just a blink of an eye geologically.’ I can't help feeling repulsion. I never know what to do with rotten cabbage. I had to root up all the plants and burn them. The fire took a long time to light.
The rump assembly came together in March. It was billed as an extraordinary congress. There is a storm brewing here against the Prime Minister. The building was being checked out for a bomb allegedly planted during the night. They searched the ground for booby traps.
The place of assembly filled quickly—bland, evasive, middle-of-the-road men exchanging such profundities as ‘Looks like rain today’. All of these people are card-carrying party members. There was a flurry of activity in the hall. The rumours bred hope and doubt.
The main point on the agenda was the election of a new chairman. The show attracted large crowds this year. There was a circus atmosphere about the whole occasion. Four brass rosettes in the floor mark the spot where the speaker's chair stood. People packed the hall from floor to ceiling, a capacity audience. They felt they should be near the centre of the action and attempted to gain access through a side entrance. The exit sign is marked with an arrow. Many people have felt aggrieved, rightly or wrongly, at being refused permission.
Howard said he wanted to go to the loo. ‘I'm sorry to bother you, but do you know where the toilets are? I think I am going to be sick. I greatly enjoy these meetings unless I have to make a speech, in which case I'm in a state of dreadful anxiety.’
He had been busier than usual for several days before the meeting. He felt bile rise in his throat; he was stricken by pain and began to vomit. Some vulgar graffiti about him in the loo...the water supply of the cistern was turned off.
Back in the central lobby, people were getting restless. Heissman looked acutely unhappy. He put up as an independent candidate. He may not win an overall majority on the first ballot. Mr Thompson was at pains to emphasize that he was threatening nobody; he wore a tweed overcoat which gave him a certain distinction. He hoped to play a significant role in the Parliamentary battle to come; he had already formally announced his candidacy. It is almost certain that he will be elected. He'. His wife looked at the clock. She bundled up her knitting and put it away. They have a delightful teenage daughter.
They wanted seats in the front of the hall so they could hear the speeches. WhThey are anachronisms in a changing world.
‘I can see you are interested in the idea, Thompson. Are you voting for or against?’
Thompson replied positively: ‘All in all, I am not in favour. There will be no change in policy.’ Thompson boasted of his influence over the Prime Minister. Shut up, big mouth... Much of his mind was taken up with visualizing the champagne buffet waiting for them. Their blindness to the problem was astonishing. They could be guaranteed to trot out the party line on all issues. I think they 're full of—pardon the expression—bull. That's what bugs me about the whole business.

en | N/A | N/A | It's been a long journey from the Victoria Ground to Valencia, but Derby County's John Brayford is going to have to put his club allegiances to one side at the weekend.
Right-back Brayford is the Rams' current player-of-the-year but says he remains, until tomorrow at least, a committed supporter of Tony Pulis & Co.
'I started watching Stoke when they were still at the Victoria Ground,' said Brayford.
'I was actually a mascot there against Charlton a long time ago.
'We had the back four of Sandford, Clarkson, Overson and Cranson - they had a good team but I'm not sure anyone stood out.

en | N/A | N/A | Chile’s president discusses trade with China, promoting innovation, and how to reform the UN Security Council
“The U.S. is not as rich as it used to be, and Latin America is not as poor as it used to be” Photograph by Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg
We can. It’s not easy. It needs a lot of commitment and effort. We have been able, for instance, to increase investment as a percentage of GNP from 21 percent to 26 percent—we’re almost doubling our investment rate in science and technology. We want to keep growing at 6 percent, and we need to grow at 6 percent, because if we do that, before the end of this decade, Chile might become the first—though hopefully not the only—Latin American country able ccording to Deutsche Bank, Chile’s the world’s first solar power producer to be subsidy-free. How did you do that?
Chile was very poor in terms of old sources of energy—gas, oil, coal. But we’re extremely rich in the future sources of clean, renewable energy. For instance, we have the deserts with the highest solar variance in the world. And they’re on a plateau, so there’s no dust. Therefore the capacity to produce solar energy is incredible. It’s becoming competitive. We’re not doing what the Spaniards did. They subsidized everyone, then they couldn’t afford it.
You’ve also been trying to jump-start your technology sector. Is it working?
We have two programs. One is Start-Up Chile. We’re trying to attract innovators from all over the world. We’re saying, “Come to Chile to develop your idea, and we’ll give you a grant.” It’s about $40,000. We’ve been able to attract more than 1,000 entrepreneurs. At the same time, we’re sending Chilean innovators to Silicon Valley or other places for them to be able to learn this atmosphere, this culture of innovation, science, technology. Innovation can be learned.
. We’ve had a diplomatic relationship with China for the last 43 years. We have different systems, of course, but we get along very well. By the way, there’s something very curious here, because one of the few countries with which China has a trade deficit is Chile. And trade surplus is Chile, so it’s kind of a paradox.
What’s Chile’s relationship with the U.S. like today?
It’s a very good relationship, because it’s not only trade. We have very good relations in terms of investments, in terms of political dialogue. And my intention is to keep it that way. There was a time when American aid to Latin America was very important. That’s over. . What we’re looking for with the U.S. is basically a partnership.
Chile may soon be back on the UN Security Council. What ideas do you want to bring to the table?
We hope to be back on it on Jan. 1. And we think that some countries should be incorporated as permanent members, because the council has 15 members, and the winners of the Second World War are the actual permanent members: the U.S., France, Britain, China, and Russia. I think that countries like Brazil, Germany, Japan, and India should be part of the Security Council as permanent members. And I think we should try to get rid of the veto power and establish some kind of supermajority to take the biggest decisions. |

I don't see the Lamar Odom CJ Leslie comparison at all. Odom can play point forward and do everything on the floor.
Cody Zeller to Mckale is a stretch, he doesn't nearly have the offensive arsenal that McKale had.
I like a lot of them but Seth Curry is nothing like Lou Williams. Lou Williams is a guy who will break you down. He has been a go to guy at the end of games and the shot clock because he can get his own shot off. He would rather attack the rim then settle for a long jumpshot.
Horfords mid range game has become more constant in recent years I think plumlee in a couple years will develop that more...that one was a hard one for me especially since I'm a targeels fan but...gotta give respect where it's due
The Seth curry one your right he not an ankle braker but he can definitely create his own shot Lou Williams is a better finisher but curry in my opinion will become one with work and playing time at the next level
Horford has certainly improved but he came into the league with a solid jumpshot. Plumlee has bad form and no touch so I am not sure how you think he will develop a deadly midrange game.

en | N/A | N/A | Old Girls The Great War – Summer 1916 11/04/201611/04/2016 / Godolphin As we go to Press, and as I write on this first day of July, the tremendous events of the war seem to be at their height. France’s magnificent sustained bravery in front of Verdun, Russia’s great offensive advance, Italy’s approach to Austria’s fresh line of defences, our own lengthening of our line in France and the vigorous offensive we have begun there, besides the ceaseless bravery of our sailors and soldiers wherever they arc–all these things make one feel the mighty crisis through which we are actually passing, and a great, sure hope of victory beyond it. Since our last Magazine we have had the outstanding glory of the great sea fight which has opened the way for the Armies on land, and we have had the grief and the pride which belong to the death and the life of that first of heroes in the war, who perhaps alone under God has made us sure of ultimate victory. Side by side with these tremendous events, it seems almost trivial to record the little things we at School have still been trying to carry on to help the great cause, but it is no time to despise the smallest effort on the part of anybody, for each of them helps, indeed, to produce that total supply of effort necessary to win the war. The intercessions here go on as before, and the list of names is now so long that it has to be divided into four sets. The work goes on, and about 1500 little bags and more than 200 fodder bags have been made, and 110 writing cases and some more trays have been made in the School workshops. Six girls, including Monica Wood, have been working on most days on the cooperative ground, and really wonders have been done on that bit of ground, thanks to Mrs. Robinson’s direction and the willingness of workers. For about a week we were also “commandeered” by a farmer for haymaking. I know what the School is doing interests all the Old Girls, as the many accounts of all their “war work” interest every reader of the Magazine. Let us go on holding hands, and be like the great patriotic people of old who had ” mind to work” for the strengthening of their national life and the rebuilding of their strong holds.
War Work at the UGS Settlement – Christmas 1915 04/09/2015 / Godolphin I wonder how many of the Old Girls have realised what a lot of extra work we have had to do at the Settlement since the outbreak of War. Our ordinary work has had to go on in the same way, and on the top of this we have had two new branches of work, and have just started a third.
When War broke out Miss Hodge was asked if she would work the Camberwell and Peckham Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Families Association from the Settlement. She consented to do this, and we all waited patiently to be told what it would mean. On the Monday after the declaration of War we were doing our usual work, when suddenly the small garden in front of No. 17 was besieged by a mob of women i They were all Reservists’ wives, who had expected their separation allowances a week after their husbands had been called up, and on failing to get it had gone in a body to the Town Hall. The Town Hall authorities, with great alacrity, drove them down the road to the Settlement, and left us to cope with it all. Those were awful weeks! We spent morning after morning taking down particulars as hard as we could, and afternoon after afternoon rushing round with money to relieve the women. Some of the women were seven or eight weeks before their money came through, and all that time we had to keep them going. We were often interviewing the women up to 3 and 4 in the afternoon, and we frequently had our lunch at 3 or 3.30. Then there were the visitors to be dealt with. They had to be advised as to how much the women should be given and what questions to ask and what to look out for. In the evenings there were letters to write, so as to help the harassed people who had been writing steadily since 9 a.m., and visits to be gone through. Also every afternoon one would see groups of people all over the garden wading through case after case, deciding what was to be done on this one or not done on the other one. This feverish rush has, of course, died down now, but we still have a great deal to get through every day. We have at the present time 7687 cases on our books. We were very well supported by helpers at the beginning, when everything was somewhat of a novelty, but now it is more difficult to get helpers. People think this is much too humdrum as compared with driving ambulances, &c., &c.!
The newest branch of work which is really an outcome of the War is the School for Mothers. A new building has been erected at the end of No. 19 garden, and the cost of this has been defrayed by some money given to Miss Hodge for any special purpose. The School is already a most flourishing concern, and we hope by means of this School to make some, at any rate, of the future generation more healthy and useful members of the community. The next generation is a very important one, particularly so at the present moment, and it was felt that the Settlement could not do a more useful piece of work in this district than start one of these Schools; appeals for which so often appear in our daily papers.
Letter From Miss Jones 01/01/201524/12/2014 / Godolphin S15. |
en | N/A | N/A | I am a very practical guy, and I recognize that not everyone wants a practical gift. Some people think that practical items should be bought whenever needed and that birthday and Christmas gifts should be different, purely for luxury purposes. I can understand the sentiment, but I don't buy into it. I have seen far too many times when my kids get the fad toy of the year, only to end up spending more time playing with the box it came in than with the toy itself. Go to a garage sale or charity store the next summer and see how many of those fad toys are there because the kids don't actually play with them. What a waste of money.
I hate the thought of wasting money on toys that don't get used. We need to replace the carpet in our home, and that money could have gone to the new floor that we would use everyday rather than to the toy that is never used. Practical, I know, but for long term convenience and return on money spent, the floor would have been a netter buy.
I feel the same way with weddings. It is a very special day and should be celebrated. However, to me, the many years after the wedding day should not be impacted by the debt accumulated from that single day. $20,000 could be used for a house down payment, or pay off student loan debt, or invested in TFSAs. It could be used for many other things that would make life some much easier and better than spending it on just one day. Spend it on the marriage, not the wedding.
This is a topic of conversation I have with my kids, repeatedly. They do chores around the house and yard and get paid for them. As soon as they are paid they want to get a slush, or ice cream cone, or something else that is gone as quick as you can buy it. We hold a lot of conversations about what they are trying to save money for, like an iPod Touch, and try to convey that by spending the money today on a slush (which is gone in 20 minutes) that they are putting off the bigger item that they keep talking about. They are so focused on what they can get today that they blind themselves to their long-term goals. The thing is they will talk about saving for the iPod Touch an hour later and not even mention the slush again until they have money again. I tell them they could have saved enough this past summer for the iPod Touch if they hadn't spent the money on the ice cream cones and slushes. I'm not sure if they believe me.
Adults do the same thing, except at a much more expensive scale. They also have the advantage of being to borrow to pay for things they want today, even things that disappear quickly, like vacations, wedding days and parties. At the credit union, as we deal with people who have trouble dealing with their debt, we hear many people express regret at having borrowed so much to pay for a quad, snowmobile, RV, or boat. All we can do is try to help them through the debt payment mess and hope they have learned how make better spending choices.

Yikes Christmas times and birthdays seem a little light around your Christmas tree. I'm glad i never got a new carpet from my parents for Christmas. I do agree with some points that you don't always need the best and brightest things but i also am of the belief that you only live once and you can't take those pennies with you when you die..... Weddings cost money, venues now a days are expensive and caterers and etcetera are pricy..... However if someone is going to fly/drive a long way to share in my special day and bring a usually expensive present then i am of the belief that showing them a good time and feeding them is appropriate..... And that represents the biggest cost. In regards to Grad i am wondering if your opinion will change when your kids come of that age and don't want to be the only kids at prom with a recycled paper bag dress! I'm not trying to be negative to your article but to me their are some costs that are tough to avoid for some important events and by "cheaping out" i believe you may have regrets in the long run. I can honestly say my wife and i spent over $20K on our wedding last year and i don't regret it for a second. It was the best day ever, our pictures are unreal and everybody had a great time...... Did we have to save, yes, do we have student loans, yes, do we have a mortgage, yes......
Bottom line is being frugal is fine however i think some people may be too far on the frugal side and all of a sudden you wake up at 85 with no cool life experiences and money in the bank that you will never enjoy!!!! The times of living for the day are upon us..... Everything is great in moderation...
RCUDecember 9, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Dear Anonymous, I completely agree that we should not forego all life experiences for the sake of being frugal. Weddings and grads are celebrations of important events in our lives. What I tend to focus on, however, is that each one of those events is really just a step along a much longer journey, and that going into debt for the sake of just one step (or day) could do a disservice to all the days that follow by creating financial hardship.
It's that hardship I want people to avoid. If you have saved the money, or are able to control your finances so that you can afford the extras and still have room for emergencies, then go ahead and take the vacation, spend on the wedding, or buy that quad. However, if buying that quad means you have increased the mortgage on your home, or you are paying for a trip with an 18% credit card, maybe it's time to review your spending habits.
I wrote an article some time ago about guerrilla frugality, which has people saving money in extreme, even wildly inconvenient ways. Most people who start living the guerrilla frugality philosophy do so because they were living the other extreme that lead to living with tremendous debt burdens. They then go to the extreme of cost cutting to get their spending and debt under control. If they had been more moderate before, they wouldn't need to use such extreme budgetary measures.
One last comment on this subject: Last year I spoke with a gentleman who was telling me about how he was having trouble making his mortgage payments. In almost the same breath he said he & his wife were going to get away from the stress of bills and jobs by going to Las Vegas the next week. I was flabbergasted and didn't really know what to say, so I told him to enjoy the trip. Now he has had to cut back in other areas quite severely in order to keep the house. The actions didn't line up with solving the problem. The same thing is happening with parents who are losing their quad/boat/snowmobile from payment problems, but are using the credit card to pay the over for $750 hockey registration and another $750 for equipment. Travel and meals at gmaes are in addition to this. Sometimes a couple of years of restraint can really help in the long-term.
I stress frugality, or even moderation, not for its own sake but for the consequences that come from controlling your finances, versus your spending and debt controlling you. Jerry
Rocky CUDecember 13, 2010 at 9:02 AM
Dear Anonymous, I agree completely that people should not cut themselves off from experiences just to save money. Weddings and graduations are important events that should be celebrated. Each of those events is an important step in life's journey, but I encourage budgetary control because I don't think that a few large steps should create a debt burden for so many of the steps following those events. If you have the money saved, or are able to control your budget, then go ahead and splurge a bit. Unfortunately, too many people spend a lot of money on these one day events without any savings or budget planning for how to handle the debt afterwards, and they suffer from it.
About a year ago I wrote an article about Guerrilla Frugality, where people go to some pretty amazing extremes, maybe even a little dangerous, to save money. Most people choose to live a Guerrilla Frugality philosophy because they used to live the other extreme of spending far too much, and are now dealing with the consequences of overspending, trying to get their debt under control. While I respect the desire and behaviour it takes to get debt under control, I would emphasize more moderate spending and control beforehand so that someone doesn't have to adopt severe spending constraints to get debt in order. I encourage control today so people don't have to suffer later.
Over a year ago I spoke with a gentleman who told me that he & his wife were having trouble making their mortgage payments because things were so tight. In almost the same breath he told me they wee going get away from the stress of jobs and bills by going to Las Vegas for a week. Having trouble with the mortgage, but going to Vegas for a week! I didn't know what to say, so I wished him a happy trip. Since then his family has had to make some more drastic budget cuts (sell a boat, take kids out of sports) so they can keep their house. I don't want anyone to have to go through that.
So, Anonymous, I do encourage people to think about what they spend their money on. With Christmas toys, it's a matter of asking if the kids really want it and will play with it, or are they just influenced by the TV ads. With grad, it's a question of will that dress really be worn again, or could the money be used for school, a vehicle, or something else that will get repeated use. I don't want people to be cheap just to be cheap, but I do want people to be able to control their spending so their debt doesn't control them. In encouraging people to think about spending, I hope to help them avoid the burden of over-debt, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with being in control of their finances. Idealistic, maybe, but not a miser or Scrooge. Jerry

In my humble opinion, I think you are bang on with your observations and budgeting suggestions, Jerry. Wake up people! Canadians who have prided themselves in being 'better' than the Americans in handling finances are now way behind our neighbors to the south in savings and debt, in comparison to our income. Our houses are not atm machines, we don't need every new gadget being produced and there is nothing wrong in living within our means. At the end of the day, life is about people, not things. Jerry, keep up your good work in attempting to educate people in handling finances. My motto is, 'Yes, you have to save for a rainy day, but you also have to live for today'. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. |

SCM-F-04 - RFP5. EVALUATION CRITERIASANSA promotes the concept of “best value” in the award of contracts, as opposed to merely looking for thecheapest price, which does not necessarily provide the best value. Best value incorporates the expertise,experience and technical proposal of the organisation and individuals who will be providing the service and theorganisational capacity supporting the project team.SANSA is committed to achieving Government’s transformation objectives in terms of the Preferential ProcurementPolicy Framework Act.The value of this bid is estimated not to exceed R500 000 (all applicable taxes included) and therefore the 80/20system shall be applicable.The procedure for the evaluation of responsive tenders is price, functionality (quality) and preference method.The evaluation of the bids will be conducted in the following two stages: Firstly, the assessment of quality will be done in terms of the evaluation criteria (Table 1) and theminimum threshold of 70 points explained below.

en | N/A | N/A | Have you ever wondered what is the best way to scan a book? I for one had many times when I needed to have my book scanned, just so I can browse through it much quicker.
If you ever had to convert a physical book to ebook, look no furthercan a book to ebook or other digital file formats.
To better understand how to scan a book, we will take you through the main aspects involved in this process. Book Scanning requires the following combination of tools and know how.
Special book scanner with manual or automatic book scanning.
We look at different aspects, that include how to scan a book into ebook files, such as EPUB, Kindle or Mobi, and even to PDF or Word files. Doing this correctly will mean that you have chosen the best way to scan a book and you will have optimum results.
There are a number of scanners that are developed with book scanning in mind.
Manual book scanners are the most common book scanners on the market. They usually feature a cradle, an overhead camera, and special archival led lightning.
Automatic book scanners are not very well known on the market. The cost of such a scanning machine is very high, and these are recommended in labor-intensive environments.
Flatbeds to scan books are not so common and are really not recommended. Unless it is mandatory, we don’t recommend using such a scanner as you won’t get good results and risk damaging your books.
High-it. In such situations, they will provide high-speed scanning with decent results.
To put this in perspective, the best book scanner is the equipment that is suited to your specific needs. It suits the type of books you have, including the size of the book, resolution or even file outputs.
To convert a physical book to ebook you have to scan the pages to digital files. Once you have created the digital image of each page, the scan must be enhanced to achieve the best quality of the image. The final step of the process will involve the conversion of images to text using OCR technology.
The non-destructive book scanning process means that you scan the book without removing the spine. Other aspects should include archival led lightning and a cushioning support for the book. We also recommend using special scanning glass for archival purposnon-destructive book scanning process.
In this phase, we will have to try and get the book ready for scanning. It might require some cleaning before starting the process. Some books require checking the pages as they might be stuck together. Also, this would be the moment to choose if you scan it in grayscale or in color. In our case, we also have to decide what is the book scanner that will yield the best results for that respective book.
Books can have different characteristics, therefore you will have to scan it on a different machine. For example, we can choose out of 5 different types of book scanners. Based on the bookbinding, the thickness of pages or condition, in general, we run it on our automatic or manual book scanners.
More or less, in this phase, you are preparing for things to come during the scanning process. In our case, icess will be very optimized. Furthermore, the quality of the results should be better if we have done this part correctly.
Considering the preparation process went well, you will now have to scan your book. Insert the book into the chosen machine and start going through the process. Take care so the capturing process goes well. You want minimum image issues, such as skew, contrast problems or maybe illumination artifacts.
You will have to correct the images by software afterward. Still, the better quality images you send to the software the better the end results will be. So always pay attention to quality during scanning. Stop the process if you are not sure. Change settings as you require or how your colleagues require improving the post-processing and OCR.
Last but not least, make sure you have chosen the correct machine to scan the books on. Sometimes information can be written all the way into the gutter of the book. Therefore, in such cases, use a scanner you know will go all the way into the gutter. Other times, you might require scanning books at 400dpi or more. Again, to be productive, use a scanner that can scan at those resolutions and can do it quickly.
Just to recap, there are different ways to scan a book, from destructive to non-destructive. Also, you can scan them at different resolutions. There is not a general best way to scan a book, rather than choosing the best way for that specific book.
For this process please check our book scanning page, which will show you what approach you can take. If you have chosen a good method to do the actual book scanning, you will benefit in the end.
We always insist on this phase of the process. We have invested a lot of time in building our own processing software. What it does is split page, deskews or corrects image issues. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. We can go further with white balance, image splitting or even indexing information in the book.
You might think that an expensive book scanner will turn out the highest quality directly from the scanning process. You might be wrong. While these are magnificent mechanical achievements software is lacking. Most manufacturers focus on the mechanics but they have limitations for software. That is why we always try to improve the software aspect of this process.
For more information on this go to our image processing page.
OCR as we call it is the process in which we convert images to readable text. As you know, a scanner generates an image file which is readable only with the naked eye. In Windows or Mac, you will still see the pages as an image. That is where OCR technology steps in and does its magic.
It takes images and converts them to vector shapes. Furthermore, those vector shapes are then converted to file formats that can be read by many applications. This is the most visible part of the OCR process.
What you may now know, is that during the OCR process we can now generate indexes and tags for scans. Such metadata is usually inserted in digital libraries of files. What this all means is that you can now do full-text searches for your documents. The metadata facilitates high-speed text searching and retrieving information much faster.
Last but not least you have to generate the appropriate file formats. While in most cases PDF and Word documents are the norms, there are times when this is not enough. Special XML and CSV files help developers integrate the books in digitally structured information. This is very helpful when you use a special Content Management System that works with CSV or XML files to understand information and its structure.
The other side of the story is for publishers. Such customers need to convert physical books to EPUB or other ebook digital file formats. The same process applies to them, with the difference being that from the OCR phase, the information has to be corrected.
The correction process means that you have to manually correct each page after the automatic recognition. After correction customers format it and generate a new layout for the Ebook. As we mention above, the requirements for Ebook files vary from Epub to Mobi or Kindle formats. We have seen the EPUB versions to have the highest usage for book publishing.
Advise your customers on what is standard practice and what not, or what you can improve for them.
We also provide videos on youtube with our book scanning company. We also feature an article on how to choose services from a book scanning company. If ebook pdf is what you are looking for, follow our article on scanning books to PDF. It is a great resource for conversion of physical books to PDF.
And remember, if you don’t want to do this yourself, the best way to scan a book will be to send it to a service provider. |

en | N/A | N/A | Anna Kendrick Interview: Alice, Darling
Alice, Darling will be available exclusively at AMC Theaters beginning January 20. The thriller follows Anna Kendrick’s character, Alice, who is trapped in a d. While vacationing with her two best friends, Alice begins to question the hold he has on her life and ventures on an internal journey of self-discovery. However, even with her friends at her side, Alice struggles to escape the man she has been conditioned to depend on.
Kendrick is most notably known for starring in the Pitch Perfect films. Additionally, Kendrick has worked on several other projects such as The Twilight Saga, A Simple Favor, and Into the Woods. Dir the main cast of Alice, Darling also includesKendrick chats exclusively with Screen Rant about the prep work required for her solo scenes and discusses the significance of female friendship in Alice, Darling.
Anna Kendrick Talks Alice, Darling
Screen Rant: As an actor, what did you find the most compelling about Alice, Darling?
Anna Kendrick: I really liked how restrained and thoughtful the screenplay was. I think that there is something really exciting about a script that’s not just covered in dialogue. Maybe when I was like, 20, I would have loved that because it’s like, “Oh, my line,” but there’s something really beautiful about a screenwriter who trusts that you don’t have to say everything. You don’t have to spell everything out. There was something about the atmosphere that Alanna created in the screenplay that felt like it was actually inviting you to strip away even more. It was like, “Here are the bones of the world and the atmosphere,” but the dialogue felt really secondary.
It felt like she was trusting that it was enough to put these images on paper and these characters, and that you would be willing to go along with their story and invest in them and feel for them. There weren’t these really explicit prescriptive scenes of dialoguedoing something more restrained and trusting that not everybody, every day, in every scene was going to have to be tap-dancing to keep the scene alive. To trust that you can sit in quiet moments is a scary thing to do when you’re a performer. That was a challenging and a vulnerable thing that I was really excited about.
Is it difficult to convey these strong emotions in scenes where you don’t have anyone to play off?
Anna Kendrick: Mary, the director, and Mike, the DP who also operated the camera—early on, we knew that whenever something was getting set up for the next scene, if we had the time, I would change my shirt, and we would go off on someplace on the property and steal a little moment. One of the first things we did was this moment when Alice is laying in a hammock, and Mary was like, “Oh, maybe you’re reading a book.” And I was like, “Oh, I could absolutely have the book. But I wouldn’t be able to read.”
There’s just the kind of running loop and being trapped in that means that everything else gets pushed out. You can’t focus on anything long enough to read more than a paragraph. Knowing the experience that intimately meant that we could make those decisions really quickly. Trusting that an audience is going to be interested in what [Alice] is thinking when I’m staring into space for so many of these little moments was a leap of faith.
Something that I really enjoyed about the film was the friendship between these women. Can you share some insight into building that relationship and bringing it to life?
Anna Kendrick: I love the friendships in this movie so much. I forgot about this until recently, but everybody on set ended up trying to figure out like, “Am I the Tess or the Sophie or Alice?” It was like a way less fun version of Sex in the City. Like, “Are you the Samantha?” kind of thing. I love that they want to help so much and neither of them really can. They both have such opposite approaches to trying to help, and ultimately they end up being willing to just tolerate the fact that Alice is in such a bad place, which is the most valuable thing for her—just to have them around and not be forcing an outcome. It’s hard because Tess, who’s the more vocal one, is sort of saying everything that the audience is thinking, but the second that it’s out of her mouth, you’re like, “That’s not going to help.”
That playing out on screen is really fascinating and frustrating for a viewer because you’re like, “Just tell her this.” And then it’s like, “Well, of course, she’s not going to listen. She can’t hear it. She’s not in a place to hear it yet.” I think that it’s this really great testament to friendship and the waythe hardest thing to do, which is just to keep showing up, even when that person just won’t do the thing that seems so obvious to you and still being around. I know that that was incredibly valuable to me. If people push too hard, you just feel like you have fewer and fewer resources, even though you might be the one pushing people away. It’s so valuable when friends are willing to stick with you through those bad patches in your life.

Similarly, you must avoid submerging the incisions under water. Therefore, you will not be able to soak in a bathtub, hot tub, pool, or any other body of water for at least two weeks. Doing so could significantly increase the risk for a bacterial infection.
Take fast showers to avoid overheating.
Keep your bandages dry by keeping them out of the water stream or by covering them with a plastic barrier.

en | N/A | N/A | I thought I’d been clever and careful enough to escape it – but no. In the small hours of this morning, Baby B’s virus caught up with me. With a vengeance. I can only apologise if I gave it to anyone else before realising that I was infected.
I’ll skip the gory details, but suffice it to say, I lost almost all of today. There was just half an hour this afternoon when I managed to struggle into some clothes and walk down the garden in search of a photo, and the effort of lifting the small camera with a macro lens attached was almost too much for me to manage. Luckily this ladybird sat still enough for the photo to be (more or less) in focus.
Comparing notes with R, who had this bug last week, my illness is following exactly the same pattern as his. This means that I expect to be half-recovered by tomorrow, and back to my best self (arf, arf) on Saturday. Fingers crossed. |

en | N/A | N/A | HomeNationThe third wave of Corona will have the most impact in Maharashtra,...
the Center told how
Maharashtra may be affected the most by the third wave of Corona. The third wave of Kovid-19 can infect 50 lakh people in the state and 10 percent of this may be 5 lakh children.
As soon as the second wave of corona subsides in the country, now the state governments have started preparing for the third wave. It is believed that Maharashtra may be most affected by the third wave of Corona.. At the same time, active cases in the state can reach eight lakh at their peak. These possibilities have been discussed by the government with its experts and task force and in the cabinet meeting, the government has decided to roll back some restrictions in the state, partially reversing the unlocking process..
Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Minister Rajendra Shingne said, “Around five lakh children may be infected, of which 2.5 lakh may require admission in government hospitals. On all these possibilities, this week’sIt was discussed during the meeting.” on Friday that Maharashtra may be at greater risk from the third wave and hence the state has already been alerted. Luv Aggarwal said that when a virus comes in different forms, then the existence of the virus can remain alive for a long time.
Still more than 5 percent positivity rate in many districts
Delta Plus variant found for the first time in the state
The first Delta Plus variant in India was detected in April from a sample in Maharashtra, which proves that the variant has been around for a long time. Now, the state has the highest number of Delta Plus cases and an 80-year-old woman infected with the Delta Plus variant of Corona died on Friday. Let us tell you that the first death is recorded from the Delta Plus variant.

We worked day and night for a few days to launch our Dreamfund Campaign. We started this campaign to help raise some funds to make the interior building inhabitable/occupiable. We need these funds to help install I-beams, columns, pour footings, and jack up the floors. We need these things done in the near future in order to install a new roof and new windows, hopefully before the first snow. Our building is going to cost more to rehab and fix than it will appraise for when finished, making this campaign a vital part of the project and meeting our timeline goals. Please check it out and consider picking up some swag. Share the address with others and spear the word...that's half the battle. The address is.

Speaking of rejuvenation, the Festus City Council recently passed funding to make Main Street into a historical district. y just recently decided to appropriate funding. The Tanglefoot Association has also been pushing this idea over the last few years and with their push along with our talks earlier in the year, the Council found it very appropriate to make a move to further the development of Main Street. Things are changing and the community will reap the benefits. The next year or so will be an exciting time for those around the area.
Again, please spread the word and check out our campaign page at. This isn't easy and we can't do it without the community's help.

en | N/A | N/A | Hello, readers! This article talks about Upgrading a Kubernetes Cluster using the kubeadm tool with a detailed explanation.
Upgradation of a Kubernetes Cluster
Once we have the cluster setup and running, it is always essential that we upgrade the Kubernetes version from time to time to have the newly introduced features as a part of our cluster.
The kubeadm tool can be helpful to upgrade the cluster easily with some minimal steps. For the same, we need to be sure that the Kubernetes cluster that we plan to upgrade is up from the kubeadm tool itself.
The entire upgrade plan of the cluster has three steps–
Upgrade the primary master node.
Upgrading additional master nodes.
Upgrade the worker nodes.
Let us have a look at the entire upgrade plan in a step-by-step manner.
1. Upgrading master nodes
At first, the major task is to find the latest patch that we can upgrade to using the below command-
Once the version to upgrade to is finalized, the next step is to upgrade kubeadm on the node. Yes, the upgrade should happen on one node at a time.
Upgrading the kubeadm tool —
In this example, we are upgrading kubeadm to version 1.22.x-00 effectively.
apt install -y --allow-change-held-packages kubeadm=1.22.x-00
Let us now check if the kubeadm tool has picked up the right version–
Now, with the below command, we can check the versions to which the cluster can be upgraded to –
This gives us a table defining the versions available. Choose the suitable version and apply the below command to begin the upgrade on the master node-
Upgrading other master nodes
Once we are done with the primary master node, we need to apply the below rules to upgrade other master nodes-
Drain the node, so that all the pods scheduled on it are evicted and it is marked as unschedulable.
2. Upgradation of kubectl and kubelet
apt install -y --allow-change-held-packages kubelet=1.22.x-00 kubectl=1.22.x-00
3. Post the upgrade, we need to restart the kubelet to pick up the latest configuration-
4. Once the process of upgrade gets completed, it is time to uncordon the node to mark it as scheduled for the pods.
2. Upgrading worker nodes
The upgrade of worker nodes can happen one at a time or a few at a time. But, we need to be sure that the minimum number of nodes to run the workloads is up and running.
Rest the process of upgrade is the same following the below steps-
Upgrade the kubeadm tool.
Use kubeadm to upgrade the node — sudo kubeadm upgrade node
Drain the node and cordon it to be marked as unscheduable.
Upgrade kubelet and kubectl for the worker node
Restart the kubelet software
Uncordon the nodes and make it available for the pods.
Finally, verify the status of the node using kubectl get nodes command.
The above steps can be repeated for all the worker nodes one by one for the upgrade. |
en | N/A | N/A | BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 93 No. XLI. THE REV. WILLIAM ROBERTSON, D.D., AUTHOR OF THE "HISTORY OF SCOTLAND," AND "CHARLES v." THIS eminent divine resided within the old College, at the south gate, nearly on the spot where the centre of the library now is. He was born in the year 1721, in the manse of Borthwick, of which parish his father, also called William, was then minister, but who was afterwards presented to the Old Greyfriars' Church, Edinburgh. His mother was Eleanor, daughter of David Pitcairn, Esq. of Dreghorn ; by the father's siden Fife, a branch of the ancient house of Strowan. Dr. RobertsDalkeith, under Mr. Leslie ; and, in 1733, when his father removed to Edinburgh, he commenced his course of academical study, which he completed at the University of Edinburgh in 1741. In ; and in 1743 was, by the Earl of Hopetoun, presented to the living of Gladsmuir in East Lothian. Soon after this, his father and mother died within a few hours of each other, when six sisters,' and a younger brother," were left almost wholly dependent on him. He immediately took them home to his humble residence at Gladsmuir, where his stipend amounted to little more than 260 a year, and devoted his leisure hours to the superintendence of their education. After seeing them all respectably settled in the world, he married, in 1751, his cousin Mary, . In the Rebellion of 1745, when Edinburgh was threatened by the Highlanders, he hastened into the city, and joined a corps of Volunteers raised for its defence ; and when it was resolved to deliver up the city without resistance, he, with a small band, tendered his assistance to General Cope, who lay with the royal army at Haddington-an offer which the General (fortunately for the Doctor and his party) declined. He then returned to the sacred duties of his parish, where he was much beloved ; and soon afterwards began to display his talentbecame the object of universal attention and applause. It was about this time that Dr. Robertson so ably defended his friend Mr. Home, the author of the tragedy of Douglas, from the proceedings adopted against him in the clerical courts. The first publication of Dr. Robertson was a sermon, which was preached by him in 1755 ; and to it may be attributed the unanimity of his call to the charge of Lady Yester's Church in Edinburgh, to which he was translated in 1758. InFebruary 1759, One of his sisters, Mrs. Syme, who lived at the head of the Cowgate, waa the grandmother of ' Mr. Patrick Fbbertaon, who was bred a jeweller, and was very successful in businaw in Edinburgh. Lord Brougham and Vaux.

The effect this work produced was instantaneous and extraordinary- congratulatory letters of praise, from the most eminent men of the time, poured in upon him ; and it is said that the emoluments derived from it exceeded 2600. Preferment immediately followed, which changed at once the whole aspect of his fortunes; for in the same year he was appointed Chaplain to the Garrison of Stirling Castle, in the room of Mr. William Campbell ; next year he was nominated one of his Majesty's Chaplains for Scotland ; in the year following (1761), on the death of Principal Goldied translated to the Greyfriars' Church. Two years afterwards he was appointed by the King Historiographer for Scotland, with a salary of 3200 a year. In 1779 Dr. Robertson published, in three volumes quarto, a "History of the Reign of Charles V.," which still farther increased the reputation of its author. For the copyright he received no less than 24500, the largest sum then known to have been paid for a single work; and which, according to the calculation of the Rev. Dr Nisbet of Montrose,' amounted exactly to twopencehalfpenny for each word in the work. Dr. Robertson, in 1778, gave to the world his "History of America," in two volumes quarto, a work which was well received at the time, and which still continues to be popular. On this occasionwho appointed one of their members to translate the work into Spanish; but after it was considerably advanced, the Spanish Government interfered and prevented it. In the year 178, and, in 1783, one of the fn 1791 appeared his last work, also in quarto, entitled, "Historical Disquisitions country, prior to the Discovery of the Cape of Good Hope." No. XLII. DR. WILLIAM ROBERTSON, D.D., IN HIS FULL CLERICAL DRESS.^ THE Doctor's powerful and persuasive eloquence had gained him an influence in the General Assembly which intimately and conspicuously associated his name with the Ecclesiastical affairs of Scotland. He was a long time leader of the Court party in our Ecclesiastical Parliament, and as a speaker, it is said, he Some time the Principal of the College of Carlisle in Pennsylvania, and a frequent opponent of Dr. Robertson in the General Assembly. It waa remarked that Dr. Robertson always appeared to greatest advantage in this attire. |

en | N/A | N/A | That is, the man that casts in the seed, who represents the ministers of the Gospel: and, as applied to them, is not to be understood of natural sleep, and indulging themselves in that; much less of spiritual sloth and indolence, as if they cared not what became of the seed sown, whether it sprung up, and came to any thing, or not; for neither of these belong to the characters of the true ministers of the word: for though bodily sleep in them, as in other men, is necessary for the support of nature, and to put them in a capacity of discharging their work; yet perhaps none have less of it than studious and laborious preachers of the Gospel; and much less do they indulge a spiritual sleep and slothfulness; though this may sometimes attend them, as well as others: but then, whilst they sleep, in this sense, tares are sown, and they spring up, and not the good seed of the word, as in this parable; besides, as they labour in the word and doctrine, by studying and preaching it, so they follow their ministrations with incessant prayers that they be succeeded to the conversion of sinners, and comfort of saints; nor can they be easy, unless they have some seals of their ministry: but rather, this may be understood of the sleep of death; for so it often is, that the seed sown by them does not appear in the fruits of it to the churches of Christ, among whom they have ministered, until after they are fallen asleep in Jesus: though it seems best to understand it of their holy security, confidence, and satisfaction in their own minds, that it will turn to profit and advantage, both to the good of souls, and glory of God, not despairing of success; but having left their work with their Lord, they sit down easy and satisfied, believing that the word shall prosper to the thing whereunto it is sent:
and rise night and day;
which shows their diligence and laboriousness, and their constant attendance to other parts of their work, rising up early, and sitting up late, to prepare for, and discharge their ministerial work; and their continued expectation of the springing-up of the seed sown, which accordingly does in proper time:
and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how;
it is a mystery in nature, how the seed under the clods, where it dies before it is quickened, should spring and grow up, and bring forth fruit; and so it is in grace, how the word of God first operates on a sinner's heart, and becomes the ingrafted word there; the time when, and much less the manner how, grace, by this means, is implanted in the heart, are not known to a soul itself, and still less to the ministers of the word, who sometimes never know any thing of it; and when they do, not till some time after: this work is done secretly, and powerfully, under the influence of divine grace, without their knowledge, though by them as instruments; so that though the sowing and planting are theirs, all the increase is God's: this may encourage attendance on the ministry of the word, and teach us to ascribe the work of conversion entirely to the power and grace of God. |

I never knew you could do so much with glue! Thank you so much for sharing! </s> There have been a lot of elections in South Asia in recent days. On November 16 a run-off election produced a surprise result in Maldives, where Abdulla Yameen—the half-brother of former President Gayoom—narrowly succeeded over Mohamed Nasheed, who had led the previous two first-round elections. The Indian state of Chhattisgarh (the size of a small country, with about 25 million people) had its first phase of state-level polls on November 11. And on Tuesday, November 19, there will be two elections underway in the region—the second phase in India’s Chhattisgarh, as well as the long-overdue national Constituent Assembly elections in Nepal. India will count the results from five different state elections on December 8, so we’ll all have to wait to find out who wins.
But it was the constitution drafting exercise where the former Assembly foundered. Despite four extensions, in the end members could not reach agreement on federalism-related issues (like the number of provinces, on what basis they might be formed, what they would be named, among others) and the Assembly lapsed. Since then, Nepal has been in an interim state of government—not a crisis, but not proactively advancing the important developmental agenda that its citizens want. For a country long held out as one of great hydropower and tourism potential (but a potential unrealized), the ongoing political instability has not facilitated needed investment, to quote the head of the Non-Resident Nepali association.
It will be interesting to watch indeed, Ms. Ayres. I am excited to see more of your writing since you recently joined the CFR team of Senior Fellows!

The surface of the area is primarily covered by light-coloured gravel; however, in the immediate vicinity of the playhouse, paving stone can be found. A large number of deciduous trees (about 60) are planted mainly at the boundaries of the playground; however, in the middle parts of the area, there are only a few trees (about 20), moreover they are too young to provide shade yet. Therefore, in the morning and early afternoon hours, a considerable part of the area is exposed to direct sunlight which can adversely affect the thermal conditions in summer, though the shading of the trees would be a decisive way to control heat stress, especially in summer.
2.2. Applied Methods: Model Simulation, Area Usage, and Questionnaire Survey
In order to examine the microbioclimatic conditions of the area, a modelling approach was applied in the study. We used the model ENVI-met which is a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic climate model and is capable to simulate the interactions in the surface-atmosphere-vegetation system with relatively high temporal (10 min) and spatial (0.5–10 m) resolution [37, 38]. The simulation required two groups of model input data: the configuration file (cf) contains the basic settings and the necessary initial meteorological parameters of the simulation while the area input file (.in) includes the morphological elements (buildings, vegetation, land covers, etc.) of the area. ENVI-met needs initialization time, therefore it is suggested to start the simulation at midnight or at sunrise.
The morphological characteristics of the study area were previously assessed during field surveys. In the model the vegetation (trees and bushes) was divided into six groups based on their heights. Then a default type of tree selected in the model was modified layer by layer according to our groups. This method was applied also in case of the bushes. The model was run with a spatial resolution of 1.5 m, and the results refer to 1.2 m. The simulation had a stabilization time of 24 hours and then results for the period from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CEST (in accordance with the opening hours of the playground) were applied for a hot summer day (12th July 2011) and a temperate autumn day (3rd October 2011), both typical in terms of the average climatic conditions of Szeged. We tried to select relatively windless and sunny days so that the thermal conditions could develop clearly in the study area. The necessary initial meteorological data for the model on both days were air temperature, relative humidity (both at 12 a.m.), wind speed (average of the ten-minute measurements in the period from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.), the most frequent wind direction (from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.), and specific humidity (sounding measurements at 0 UTC). These necessary meteorological parameters e Hungarian Meteorological Service at a distance of about 6 km from the playground. The specific humidity was derived from [39]. The value at 2500 m necessary for modelling was obtained by interpolation (Table 1).
After the modelling process, hourly thermal stress maps, that is, spatial distributions of the simulated PET, were created with the software Surfer 8 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the selected days. Surfer is able to visualize accurately microscale model results. Maps in two distinct times of the days (11 a.m. and 4 p.m.) were analyzed. The momentary spatial patterns of visitors in the area (at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.) are also illustrated on the maps and analyzed in terms of the actual thermal conditions.
Table 3 informs about the dates of the surveys and also the overall climatic conditions. Theabove-mentioned meteorological station. The data were averaged for the period from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for all parameters.
3.1. Simulated Thermal Conditions and the Momentary Spatial Distributions of Visitors
According to the methods described in Section 2, the heat stress conditions expressed by the spatial distribution of PET values and their relationship with the momentary area usage of the playground are examined. The thermal stress maps indicate remarkable differences between summer (Figure 2) and autumn (Figure 3) and also between the investigated times.
The selected autumn day can be characterized with lower thermal load (Figure 3). At this time, cold stress also appeared in large areas. In the morning (Figure 3(a)), similarly to the summer day, warm load prevailed primarily in the |

The post Remembering Don Victor appeared first on Jason C. Stanley. </s> My life in Taiwan – compared to Taiwanese dramas
It’s Single’s day soon (11th November or 11/11 – where all the 1’s represent how freaking lonely we all are), therefore I thought about writing an uplifting post about Taiwanese love dramas. Well, they aren’t really the best thing to watch when you are feeling lonely or are with the wrong person on Single’s Day though.
Aaaaanyway, half of my semester abroad is over. I had a very interesting and great time in Taipei so far and I am excited about all the new memories that I will make until the end of my stay here 🙂 Before I went to Taiwan, I didn’t really have an idea how the culture and country will be. Taiwan (and Taipei) is a whole different world – that I only knew from Taiwanese drama series and movies before I actually got here.
And I love these dramas! I get drawn into them and binge watch episodes after episodes, rooting for some couple to end up together, or hope that a lead actor won’t die of some illness or that the bad guy or girl won’t get away with their manipulative ways. These dramas/movies are always very intense, emotionally overloaded – and in every episode, a dozen of different coincidence happen that make you yell out loud “this can never happen in real life”. Or does it?
Here is my slightly sarcastic and personal view on how life in Taipei is 😊 Hope you’ll enjoy it! |

I want to draw your attention to these Power 5 styles you can adopt in your tweets going forward which guarantees better engagement. Here are my top picks:
A: Tweets with images in them get twice the engagement ordinary text tweets would giveere. Or choose to upload directly in twitter and via other social media dashboard apps like Hootsuite. This is an amazing possibility on tablets. From your image gallery,you can use the share button and choose to share via various social networks and social media dashboard apps that you have installed on your smart phone. You could also install the hootlet extension on chrome. I have found this quite convenient.

Some people have this illusion that tweeting is all about them and no one else. You would just end up being a one-man army.Social media has gone far beyond monochromatic(permit me) communication; and that is why it is SOCIAL. You should recognize people.
1. When your follower tweets a quality content: Forget whether he is qualified to say what he says, as long as what he says resonates with your own values
2.When they make key contributions in a twitter chat or on a hashtag you have created.
3. When they intend to reach another follower in the same conversation. You’ll observe this in most of Leke Alder’s #Letr2Jil and a host of other hashtags he runs.
4. HOST CONVERSATIONS
Expose your followers to highly relevant videos or audio clips(whether produced by you or others) via links. They will be grateful for it. Back it up with a compelling description to increase click-throughs. Interesting enough it is that now, you can play Youtube videos directly on Twitter without being redirected out of the platform. Pictures also have an amazing preview.
I would like to re-iterate that only if you use these methods consistently combined with quality content would you reap the full benefits…. I draw the curtain here. HAPPY TWEETING!

en | N/A | N/A | A CFD technique to investigate the chocked flow and heat transfer characteristic in a micro-channel heat sink
The heat transfer properties of different cooling systems dealing with Poly-Ethylene-Terephthalate (PET) bottles were investigated. The heat transfer coefficient (Ug) was measured in various fluid dynamic conditions. Cooling media were either air or water. It was shown that heat transfer coefficients are strongly affected by fluid dynamics conditions, and range from 10 W/m2 K to nearly 400 W/m2 K. PET bottle thickness effect on Ug was shown to become relevant under faster fluid dynamics regimes..

(b) Plans for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Public agencies may choose to analyze and mitigate significant greenhouse gas emissions in asimilar document. A plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may be used in a cumulative impacts analysis as set forth below. Pursuant to sections 15064(h)(3) and 15130(d), a lead agency may determine that a project's incremental contribution to a cumulative effect is not cumulatively considerable if the project complies with the requirements in a previously adopted plan or mitigation program under specified circumstances.

en | N/A | N/A | Will I get arrested and go to jail at my court date for my criminal case?
Wanatee Counties. The answer is generally, no. It is possible, though.
Generally speaking, the purpose of a criminal court date, whether it be an arraignment, a pre-trial conference, or a case management court date, is to either plea to the charges, ask the judge for a continuance to another court date because more time is needed, or set the case for trial.
Occasionally, there are people who do get arrestedt court dates, and it is almost always for one of the following reasons:
-They have a warrant out for their arrest,
-They choose to plea to the state's plea offer that includes jail,
-They show up for courtd/or
-They are out of control and disrespectful to the judge.. Each legal situation is entirely unique. Please do not rely on this post or anything else you read on the internet. If you have questions about your case please call our attorneys at (941) 444-5128 for a free consultation and case analysis.
Still afraid that you might go to jail? Make sure you do this before court! |
