What is a Slushie Machine?
A slushie, or also known as a slush, slushy, or slushee, is simply flavored ice. It comes in different kinds of drinks, including frozen carbonated beverages, symbolized by the Slurpee or ICEE. Aside from those, there are also frozen coffee drinks and frozen alcoholic drinks, and other more conventional slush drinks. You can also find instant slush drinks that are formed via super-cooling.
The difference between a slushie and other frozen drinks is that ice never freezes into cubes or blocks. It just remains as tiny icy crystals. This becomes possible by using a slushie machine. A slushie machine is a type of blender that we usually see in convenience stores and fast-food restaurants that serve frozen carbonated beverages. But have you ever wondered how these machines work? How do they turn beverages into a slush? If you are also curious, then read on to know more about what a slushie machine is and how it works.
History of the Slushie Machine
Machines that are used to make frozen beverages were invented in the late 1950s by Omar Knedlik. The idea for making a slushed ice drink was thought of when Knedlik's soda fountain got broken. This forced him to put his sodas in a freezer to keep them cool, but that caused them to become slushy. Well, that wasn't a problem because lots of people loved the slushy sodas. Therefore, he thought about making a machine that can help to make a slushie, slush, or Slurpee.
The slushie machine that Knedlik invented soon became popular, that's why he decided to hire Ruth E. Taylor to create a marketing name and logo for his invention. Taylor came up with the name ICEE, and she also designed the original logo, which is still used in the present time. The very first slushie machines made use of an automotive air conditioning unit.
7-Eleven started anauthorizing deal with the ICEE company in 1965 to sell the product under certain conditions. One of the conditions was that 7-Eleven must use a different name for the product. The other condition was that the company was only allowed to sell the product in 7-Eleven locations in America, this was a non-compete clause to ensure that the two drinks never went head to head for distribution rights. In 1967, 7-Eleven then sold the product, which became known as the "Slurpee".
Today, slushie machines come in different varieties, and they are very popular in many different stores and restaurants. They are even famous at parties where alcohol is added in making frozen cocktail drinks.
a slushie machine that features different flavors
How Do You Use a Slushie Machine?
Slushie machines mix up the drink flavoring, which is usually a mixture of water, sugar, flavor, and coloring. While most alcohol drink makers require you to insert ice cubes into the machine to be crushed or shaves, a slushie machine uses water instead, to make the icy slush from scratch.
However, if you will be using a small home slushie machine, most of them do not have the freezing capabilities like the ones for commercial use. Therefore, you will need to insert some crushed ice to make some homemade slushies. Though, this might not have the same icy consistency compared to store-bought slushies.
To make a slushie, water is placed into the machine, and then it's turned on to churn. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes to make the basic slush. This depends on the size of the machine, and as well as the size of the holding container for the finished product.
How are Flavorings Added in a Slushie Machine?
Early manually-operated slushie machines crush the ice after the flavored syrup was added as the drink was placed into a paper cup. But modern slushie machines, on the other hand, add syrup to the ice in the machine so that it gives out the slush in ready-to-drink form.
When adding some flavorings in a slushie machine, the syrup is measured using a mixing vat or bottle. Then, a preset amount of water is added. It is then shaken to mix the two liquids. After mixing, it is poured into an opening either at the back or top of the slushie machine. The fluid will then go into the cooling cylinder, and the icing will start. More modern slushie machines supply the mixture from an opening on the front of the machine, which can be operated by a valve.
How Do Slushie Machines Maintain Slush?
It is quite simple to use a slushie machine, but you might also wonder how it maintains the slush after it is made. Many commercial slushie machines are stored in a metal cabinet because of the amount of use they receive from self-serve customers. But there are also other slushie machines that store the icy drink in a glass or plastic container that is attached to the top of the freezing unit. These machines are usually dispensed by employees. Meaning, they receive less abuse from the customers.
Slushie machines have a compressor and a sealed cooling cylinder. To maintain slush, the ice drink mixture is continually circulated in the storage area by a circular auger or sometimes plastic mixing paddles. This helps in retaining the texture of the ice mixture at a temperature that will not allow additional freezing or melting. Slushie machines also have a thermostat on the front or side of the unit. This allows you to change the temperature for the perfect mix.
A slushie machine is a pretty interesting drink maker. Know that you know what a slushie machine is and how it works, maybe you might want to try hiring a slushie machine when you throw a party, or maybe buy your own machine to make some cool and refreshing slushie anytime at home.

The. gitignore file tells Git which files to ignore when committing your project to the GitHub repository. gitignore is located in the root directory of your repo. / will ignore directories with the name.
Why is my Gitignore not working?
gitignore file is ignored by git and it does not work 6. Some times, even if you haven't added some files to the repository, git seems to monitor them even after you add them to the. gitignore file. This is a caching issue that can occur and to fix it, you need to clear your cache.

Below are descriptions of the engineering courses offered at Elm Middle School.
Grade level: 7
In Art 6, students are invited to look inward. To drive the art-making content, students will engage in introspective activities to explore their personal narrative, their stories, their autobiographies, their histories and their internal dialogue. They will consider how their identity is shaped and influenced by their experiences and which stories they choose to collect and embrace and which stories they prefer to discard.
Grade Level: 8
Art 7 invites students to look nearby and around. Through art making, students will contemplate and explore how their identity, their sense of self, is rooted within relationships and is influenced by how they present themselves and by how they believe others see them. They will draw inspiration from connections to immediate and local groups, such as families, peers and the community. They will sift — or prospect — for connections that resonate, that provide a sense of belonging, and that they want to foster and incorporate into their identity as they simultaneously individuate and connect.

Is Yoga Safe During Pregnancy?
Prenatal yoga is safe during pregnancy
Regular exercise during pregnancy helps to keep weight gain slow and gradual and it prepares your body for the rigors of birth. During the first two trimesters, you can continue normal exercises such as jogging, running, aerobics, and even some lightweight training.
As the pregnancy progresses, alternative forms of exercise like yoga can be used to stay in shape while taking the intensity level down a bit.
Most traditional yoga poses are safe in pregnancy
Yoga is an exercise that involves strengthening, stretching, breathing, and balancing. During the first few months of pregnancy, traditional yoga poses are completely safe. As the pregnancy progresses, expecting women may find certain poses are no longer comfortable or unsafe for the baby due to changes in the female body and balance issues associated with pregnancy.
What is prenatal yoga?
Prenatal yoga is a modified version of the exercise created to allow pregnant women to continue practicing yoga throughout pregnancy. Prenatal yoga poses are broken up into three categories for the three trimesters of pregnancy. Long time yoga followers may find they are more comfortable attending their regular yoga classes, but certain changes in each pose will need to be made as the uterus grows larger.
During the first trimester, recommended yoga poses include prenatal sun salutations, pigeon, triangle, ardha chandrasana, warrior II, baddha konasana, and knee to ankle. These poses are chosen to increase flexibility. The second trimester can include all poses from the first trimester, as well as vajrasan, bhadrasan, marjariasana, and hasta uttanasana. Third trimester poses include ardha titali asana, poorna titali asana, and supta udarakarshanasana.
What precautions should be taken?
It is important to stay away from yoga poses that involve twisting, hopping, jumping, and lying flat on the stomach. These poses are not made for pregnant women and should be avoided for the safety of the fetus. When in doubt, contact a local yoga instructor and ask questions about proper yoga poses during pregnancy.

Salt and sugar intake
I've gotten some recent questions about salt and sugar intake which i thought i would answer.
How much to eat? How much is too much? how to break a sugar addiction?
First off… salt is important, salt is necessary for functions in the body and cutting out salt completely can actually do alot more damage than eating a little more than necessary. Because generally speaking if you eat too much salt than you need you will feel more thirsty, but if you eat too little then your body can get out of balance and you may feel dizzy and get muscle twtiches along with other symptoms and can have worse consequences than just eating a little more salt than necessary.
And worrying about salt intake is usually only recommended to those who eat alot of processed food or to those who have a history of high blood pressure in their family or other illnesses related to high blood pressure. And if you are in neither of those groups then i wouldnt worry so much. Source
In sweden the recommended salt intake is 6g (i.e 2.4g sodium) which is roughly 1tsb, but most adults eat double as much.
I wouldnt worry too much about salt intake UNLESS you eat alot of processed food or use alot of salt in your cooking and then add even more salt when eating. So for example if you do alot of home cooking then choose to either 1) salt when cooking or 2) salt when eating, not both.
Salt gives flavour and it is necessary, but just like everything, its about balance. So if you eat alot of processed then maybe skip salting your food at the table. However if you make alot of food yourself and alot of the food is whole foods and not processed then it can actually be a good idea to add a little salt.
There are actually alot of people who are obsessed with clean eating and think salt is the worst and they end up drinking 3-5l and not adding any salt to their food and end up with consequences. Also remember if you workout and sweat alot, you need to replace those lost salts/electrolytes!
You can read more HERE, HERE, HERE
I wrote a post about salt intake HERE.
And which salt to use amongst all the edible salts available?
Well my recommendation personally is that if you salt your food at the table, choose one such as herbamare because it doesn't have as much salt compared to the reglar plain white "table salt". However when cooking then the plain white table one is usually the best as it is c.a 95-99% sodium chloride i.e the strongest flavour and you only need a little. Table salt does have its benefits if it is iodized as you do need iodine – unless you have an illness that means you need to be aware of your iodine intake. All the other salts have different colours, textures, slightly different mineral composition and taste a little different, so just choose the one you like best! I personally like sea salt and herbamare best!

What about sugar? Ive written several posts about sugar and sugar addiction which you can read about instead:
One thing i want to mention though is that in the past i used to think that there was such a thing as a "sugar addiction", now i dont know whether i believe in that. I DO believe that people can be addicted to food and certain types of food for different reasons whether its physical or mental or emotional reasons. But addicted to sugar…. not really. I mean you dont crave actual white sugar… you dont want to get a spoon and put it into a sugar bag. YOU DO however crave certain specific foods which contain both sugar and fat and are very processed. You can get angry, irritated, tired and all of those things if you dont get specific foods, but its not specifically sugar…. compared to caffeine, tobacco, alcohol or drugs… then its that specific drug/substance. But with sugar, i believe its the actual food and the combination of processed white sugar and fat which the person needs. And it can be because the food gives a rush of serotonin and happiness, or it could be that the person needs more energy and a cookie gives that energy or happiness, or it could be that that food just gives a sense of comfort or whatever other reason. But i think it is very important to find the reason that you may be craving the certain sugary processed food….. is it stress, emotions, anxiety, tiredness, physical reasons? It makes it so much easier to deal with those cravings and stop the binges and cravings if you know why they come about.
According to a study HERE sugar can be addictive and for people with bulimia or binge eating disorder sugary foods can be more of an addiction and problem compared to others with strong cravings, withdrawls, change in personality which is similar to withdrawl symptoms from alcohol or drug abuse. But whether its food cravings or sugar cravings and wheter it can be called a sugar addiction or not is still not defined.
You can read more from my previous posts about sugar below:
Just remember that sugar isnt necessarily bad. Its all about balance… sometimes all you need is a chocolate cupcake and other times all you need is a raw food ball or a banana. Be ok with eating sugar it wont harm you, but find YOUR balance with sugar. Some people are more sensitive to it, some people need less of it because of a family history with diabetes or others just dont like the taste of sugar so much and thats ok. But find what works for you and most of all, dont be scared of it. Because the anxiety and the fear and the guilt in connection with sugar will harm and hurt you so much more than sugar eaten now and again, ever will!!
Questions about sugar and sugar intake
Is sugar bad?
**also on a side note, i think in the U.S white sugar isn't actually vegan because bone char is used in process and bleaching of sugar. Though i've never really had to think about that and consider which foods use that type of white sugar. But HERE is a link to companies that use vegan white sugar. (Though how strict you want to be with this is up to you…. i don't know how common this type of sugar is or not)

 Hey Izzy! I really love this article. I was wondering if maybe you could do an article on natural builds, as in the fact that every body has a natural weight set point and body build that will not be changed except through extreme dieting or overeating. I have been struggling since I have a more muscular, solid build when I would much rather have a slim, skinny one that most models have. It is really hard for me, since I long to have a flat stomach/long, slim legs and end up restricting somewhat because I'm afraid of losing muscle definition and gaining more flab. On the other hand, I am also a soccer player and know I have to eat enough to fuel my body. Working out so much likely contributes to my more stocky, muscular build, though. It is a constant struggle for me, and I think that it is something a lot of people have a hard time with with, as the body type most models have is very different from the average person. I was just hoping to hear your thoughts on this.

text: People lie more in email than when they write with pen and paper. With this curious result we are surprised by Naguin, a researcher at the University of DePaul, who tested the honesty of 48 students of the Business Management course with a financial game.These students were offered an imaginary sum of $ 89, then they had to decide how much of this sum they would confess to their partner and how much of it they would be willing to share with him. Some of the participants shared this information via email while others had to write it down on a piece of paper. The results surprised the researchers themselves: 92% of the young people who shared the information via email lied, while only 63% of those who shared it by writing it on a paper gave false data. Even more interesting was the fact that people who lied in emails felt less responsible by offering more justifications for their behavior. Surprised by this difference in behavior, apparently due to the simple fact of having changed the method of transmitting information, the researchers decided to replicate the test, this time in an informal setting outside the laboratory. On this occasion a total of 177 managers took part in the experiment. The participants formed groups of three in which each member had to act as if he were the manager of a science project trying to obtain a cash fund. Real money was used to make the game as real as possible. We emphasize that the participants knew each other and were told that at the end of the game all lies would be revealed. Once again the players had to share the information by email or by writing it on a piece of paper. Again, people who used email to communicate tended to lie and cheat more than others. This study in which lies and technology are related is not the first of its kind, in a previous article I had already referred to the fact that people tend to lie more in text messages sent over the mobile phone. What are these differences due to? From my point of view the answer is very simple: people feel that email is a fairly impersonal medium and therefore do not fully identify with what they write. This causes their responsibility to vanish in front of the screen. On the contrary, we traditionally consider writing on a sheet of paper a form in which we feel more personally involved and for this we would be more cautious.

How long can a dog go without pooping? Some of you will claim that this is a completely irrelevant question. Others will say it is the most important of them all. Regarded of your opinion, we had to provide a proper answer. Also, we believe it is an important question. You will know when your dog has constipation and what to do about it.
How long can a dog go without pooping?
Most dogs can withstand up to 2 days without pooping. This is not an issue and it is normal. On the other side, we can see that a healthy dog with a proper diet will poop once or 2 times per day. Yes, dogs poop more than humans. How long can a dog go without pooping also depends on several factors. Dog's age, diet, and also genes (believe it or not) affect the answer.
Some dog breeds poop more frequently than others. Diet has a huge role in all of this as well. Dogs with an unhealthy diet will poop 2-3 times per day or they will poop much less frequently.
There is one thing we must mention here. It is the issue dog owners who don't need to know the answer to this question commonly suffer from. If your dog doesn't poop for more than 48 hours there might be an issue. Constipation is the most common problem here and it can cause more issues that need to be treated as soon as possible. In most cases constipation is harmless and there won't be any complications. But, in severe cases, it can cause:
- UTI (urinary tract infection)
- Bladder obstruction
These are just a few of the conditions and disorders constipation can cause in your dog. In reality, there are many more issues and each one can be severe. There is no need to add that you need to take your pet to a vet as soon as you notice constipation and you need to find the cause of it and also start with the treatment.
Constipation in dogs
Yes, dogs can have constipation as well. It is the same issue we have sometimes and it can be unpleasant and annoying in the lack of a better word. Constipation is the main reason why you should answer the following question. How long can a dog go without pooping and when this can get serious? In general, this issue will affect all dogs at least once in their life and this is the sad truth. Most dogs will be affected many times throughout their life.
Constipation is defined as the inability to pass stool and it is quite obvious when it comes to the end result. It can occur due to numerous reasons and it can be severe in some cases. Luckily your dog doesn't have it and you don't have to worry about it.
Luckily, constipation in dogs is easy to diagnose. There are a few symptoms and all of them are easy to notice. Your dog may suffer from constipation if:
- You notice mucus or blood
- Lethargy is present
- Lack of appetite
- Your dog dint poop for 48+ hours
- Discomfort (might be followed by shaking)
- Crouching and crying symptoms when your dog wants to poop
- Dry or very hard stool
One of the reasons why detecting constipation in dogs is easy is the fact your pet will have almost all of these symptoms. Don't forget that it is possible for your pet to have a few of the symptoms as well. Even in the worst-case scenario, these symptoms will affect the behavior of your pet significantly which will help you deduce that something is wrong with him.
Reasons for constipation
Constipation can occur in all dogs at any given moment. There is no way to predict when this will. However, we were able to find a few common reasons why constipation will occur in your dog. All you have to do after you detected constipation and you know what caused it is to solve that issue. Anyway, constipation can occur due to:
- Low fiber count in the diet of your dog
- Huge inactivity or lack of any physical work
- Larger prostate glands
- Medicines your dog takes
It is almost unlikely that a dog will suffer from constipation due to all reasons mentioned above. However, it is possible that 2 or 3 are present and each one is contributing to constipation. In that case, the treatment can be more time-consuming, more expensive, and more complicated.
You can treat constipation at home
Most dog owners would like to know can they treat constipation at home or they must take a dog to a veterinarian. Yes, you can treat constipation at home but you must make sure the larger prostate glands are not the cause. You cannot treat this condition at home which causes constipation! Also, makes sure that your dog has developed constipation recently. If he has it for a few days, take him to a vet.
If you want to treat constipation at home, you need to try a few options. These are:
- Feed your pet with canned pumpkin
- Add fiber to the diet
- Give him more water to drink
- Walk and play with your dog more
- Add mineral oil to the food before you feed your dog
Dogs are unable to tell you what they ate and how they feel so you will need to discover this by yourself. Using all of the methods above, you can treat constipation successfully and the risk of other issues is almost completely eliminated.
How long can a dog go without pooping is an important question. Now you know the answer and you know that something wrong may be present. In other words, you can detect constipation easily and you can provide proper treatment. Constipation in dogs usually is a minor problem that will be solved within days and there is no need to worry about it.

Drawing on industrial music from the 1980s – containerisation caused the demise of London's many docks and the surrounding deindustrialisation that followed provided the raw material for the birth of a political sonic reaction – Hellier has recorded percussive and resonant encounters with these familiar steel boxes. Using high sample-rate recordings and ambisonics, they reveal the hidden stories. Evoking the ghosts of their contents and journeys, each vessel resonates differently, depending on its (unidentified) load and undisclosed history but also echos of that industrial music. The soundtrack contains fragments from Test Dept, Hellier attended a gig at the Albany by the band in 1984 during the height of the miners strike, supported by a welsh male voice choir. An attempt to make aural the anger felt at the time of immense social change.
The (mostly male) phenomenon of 'container ship spotting' makes up the visual source material for these distorted journeys. The title references both the universal system used to describe cargo capacity for intermodal containers (the twenty-foot Equivalent Unit being 1 TEU) as well as the modular sculptures of infamous America Minimalist sculptor, Carl Andre. The overall effect of Hellier's work is a haunting sonic and visual experience, which evokes a sense of the uncomfortable and encourages the viewer to reflect on 21st-century displacement and the unending 'trafficking' of goods – material and people – around the world.

Betsy's Plesiosaur, Nichollsia borealis
Nichollsia borealis, one of the oldest and most complete plesiosaur fossils recovered in North America, and the oldest yet discovered from the Cretaceous Period, was uncovered in a Syncrude Canada Ltd. mine near Fort McMurray, Alberta, in 1994.
Two U of Calgary scientists, Dr. Patrick Druckenmiller and Dr. Anthony Russell have named the 2.6m long plesiosaur Nichollsia borealis in memory of the late Elizabeth (Betsy) Nicholls, former curator at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. Nicholls was a renowned palaeontologist who is credited with transforming the understanding of prehistoric ocean life by describing the largest-ever marine reptile, a 23-metre-long ichthyosaur, discovered in northern British Columbia in 1999.

"We chose this name because Betsy was a key player in the study of marine reptiles, a mentor to me, a former student of Tony, and a great person," said Druckenmiller, who is now Curator of Earth Sciences at the University of Alaska Museum of the North in Fairbanks, Alaska. "We felt it was a fitting way to honour both her memory and her accomplishments in palaeontology."
The fossil was discovered by machine operators Greg Fisher and Lorne Cundal in 1994 during routine mining operations at Syncrude's Base Mine, about 35 kilometres north of Fort McMurray near the Athabasca River. Amazingly, the specimen was serendipitously exposed by one of Syncrude's 100-ton electric shovels approximately 60 metres below ground surface. It is complete except for its left forelimb and shoulder blade.
Nichollsia is also very significant because it fills a 40-million-year gap in the plesiosaur fossil record and greatly increases the understanding of the ancient seaway that once split North America in two and whose shores abounded with dinosaurs.
"This individual was a pioneer in the marine waters that would eventually become the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, which ran the length of North America during much of the Cretaceous and was home to one of the world's most diverse communities of marine reptiles," Druckenmiller said. "It represents the oldest known forerunner of this amazing period in North American prehistory."
Nichollsia borealis is currently on display in the Discoveries Gallery at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. The paper is published in Palaeontographica Abteilung A, but I can't find a doi for it.

Plenty of researchers are anxious to find that suburbia makes us fat, but those of us who grew up running around and climbing trees in big backyards might be more likely to appreciate how certain aspects of suburban living actually encourage healthy living:
- SOUTH Australian children with big backyards are less likely to be overweight and inactive than those with small courtyards, a study has found.
Preliminary data from the Flinders University Achieving a Healthy Home Environment study, which surveyed the homes and lifestyles of 280 southern suburbs families, found the size and set-up of homes contributed largely to how fit and healthy young children were.
Researchers looked at more than 75 physical and nutritional variables in each family home over the past year.
"We found the bigger the backyard, the more active the kids," said Flinders Medical Centre consultant pediatrician Dr Nicola Spurrier, who headed the study that will continue until next year.
"But we also found the amount of play equipment and play areas in a back yard had a big impact too."
Researchers also uncovered other rather obvious points: active parents are more likely to have active kids; healthy kids are more likely to have parents who limit their TV-watching and stick healthy food in the fridge.

Whether you are setting up a sibling group for the first time or have been running groups for many years, this section will give you guidelines and activities to help you run your group
To identify and reinforce things that group members have in common. These may be general likes and dislikes, or sibling issues.
It can be especially effective if used as the first and last formal games of the group.
You will need
- A ball of wool
- A pair of scissors
How to do it
The first person holds the end of the wool in one hand and the ball itself in the other. They say something about themselves. All those who feel it applies to them put their hand up. The ball of wool is thrown to one of them (the first person keeps hold of the end) who then says something else. Repeat, with each person holding onto the wool and throwing the rest of the ball on, until everyone has had the wool thrown to them several times – the wool should now form a "spider's web" linking everyone in the group.
A leader can suggest ideas to keep it moving.
If used at the first session, each person could be asked to say their own name as they catch the ball of wool, or the name of the person they throw it to.
If used at the end of the final session, the strands of the web can then be cut to signal the end of the group.

The Effect of Annealing Parameter on Corrosion Resistance of Zircaloy-2
The effects of equal ∑Ai for different combinations of the annealing temperature and annealing time on corrosion resistance and evolution of precipitates of Zircaloy-2 were investigated.Nodular corrosion resistance in the out-of-pile corrosion test was degraded with increasing ∑Ai only when it was increased by extending the annealing time at 894K but did not depend on ∑Ai which was increased by raising the annealing temperature for a constant annealing time of 2.5h. Extensive observation and micro-analysis of precipitates by analytical electron microscope (AEM) suggested the cause of degradation of nodular corrosion resistance to be the remarkable increase in volume fraction of Si-containing precipitates such as Zr3Si and Zr2Si, which were observed more frequently in large ∑Ai only when it was increased by extending the annealing time at 894K.On the other hand, uniform corrosion resistance was improved with increasing ∑Ai irrespective of the annealing conditions, but was slightly better when ∑Ai was increased by extending the annealing time under constant annealing temperature at 894K. This behavior can be understood from the reduction in content of alloying elements such as Fe, Cr and Ni which remained as solutes in the matrix at large ∑Ai.

Conducted by Steven Kimball and Anthony Milanowski.
Purpose of study
To examine the validity of principals' teaching evaluation ratings and determine whether differences in decision making contribute to the differential validity observed in these ratings. [Validity was defined by the relationship between evaluation ratings and value-added measures of student achievement.]
- How much does the validity of the performance rating relationship vary across evaluators?
- Are differences in evaluator decision making in a standards-based teacher evaluation system related to differences in the strength of the student achievementperformance rating relationship?
The study was carried out in a large school district in the western United States, comprised of 88 schools in which about 3,300 teachers educate more than 60,000 students, that had implemented a teacher evaluation system based on Danielson's (1996) Framework for Teaching several years prior and thus had performance evaluation results for many teachers over several consecutive years. After exclusions for missing evaluation scores and student achievement data, a total of 5,683 students and 328 teachers were included in the analysis for the 2001-02 school year, and 9,873 students and 569 teachers were included in 2002-03. In 2001-02, 39 principals evaluated 5 or more teachers and in 2002-03, 57 administrators evaluated 5 or more teachers. For the qualitative component of the study, 23 of the evaluators with more valid ratings (high correlations with teachers' classroom average student achievement) and less valid ratings (very low and negative correlations with teachers' classroom average student achievement) were selected for interviews. Additional analysis of interview transcripts and written feedback to teachers was conducted for eight evaluators with two consecutive years of high (average r=.55) or low (average r=-.28) validity ratings.
- Evaluators varied substantially in the strength and direction of the relationship between their teacher ratings and the achievement of those teachers' students. Approximately 30% of administrators' ratings of teachers had correlations with average student achievement below –.10 (low validity), while over 40% of administrators gave teachers ratings that correlated with their students' achievement at.31 or higher (high validity).
- Differences in evaluators' motivations, or will, to conduct teacher performance evaluations were not related to the validity of their ratings. All administrators reported positive attitudes about the evaluation system and emphasized its value for teacher development over accountability. Attitudes towards and perceived level of accuracy in teacher evaluations were also similar between highand low-validity groups, despite comments that there was little oversight or consequences from the district. Reported compliance with the evaluation process was also high for both groups of evaluators, except for the supplemental evaluation form.
- Administrators in the higher validity group noted the value of district trainings in helping to build their evaluation skills, while only one of the lower validity evaluators talked about training from the district. Lower validity evaluators said that their experience teaching, in administration, or in business, was most helpful in conducting evaluations.
- Evaluators in the more valid group tended to talk about using rubrics in a more analytical way. However, administrators in each group mentioned factors that led them adjust ratings toward more lenient assessments of teachers.
- There were few differences in evaluator preparation between highand low-validity groups, with most preparation focusing on preparing teachers for the process. Administrators in both groups tapped multiple, similar sources of evidence to conduct evaluations, most commonly classroom observations. Several teachers in both the highand low-validity groups used a very structured approach to teacher evaluation.
- In terms of school environment, the socioeconomic status and prior achievement of students did not differentiate the highfrom low-validity groups of evaluators. Neither did the teaching or administrative experience of the evaluators nor their perceived credibility to the teachers they evaluated. In all but one case, relationships between teachers and evaluators were positive.
- Evaluators overwhelmingly emphasized the formative purposes of teacher evaluation and tended to be lenient, focusing on praise in written evaluations rather than constructive feedback or suggestions for improvement. This leniency may reduce the validity of the evaluations.
The authors conclude that evaluator will, skill and evaluation context did not have a clear or consistent influence on the validity of their teacher evaluations, that is, on the extent to which the evaluation scores were related to student achievement. Possible interpretations of this finding included complex, idiosyncratic interactions between evaluator characteristics, evaluators' reliance on gut-level feelings about teachers, a lack of expectations or support to conduct evaluations accurately (e.g., low levels of accountability, no follow-up training, no consequences for most teachers), and a lack of sufficient detail in the data to reveal differences in evaluator will, skill and context.
Findings suggest that generating evaluation scores that are highly related to student achievement will take more than specific rubrics and basic training of evaluators. The authors advocate for the development of a "strong situation" that provides incentives for accurate evaluation, oversight that emphasizes ratings differentiate among teachers, and ongoing training and practice with feedback on accurate evaluations. They also caution against the use of teacher evaluation scores in making high-stakes decisions about tenure, promotion and compensation.
The teacher evaluation system in this district was based on the Framework, and the authors include detailed information about the instrument and its use in the article. The fact that some teachers' scores on the Framework-based rubric and their students' average achievement were highly correlated provides validation that the FFT describes observable practices that are associated with teaching that raises student achievement.

Abdominal sounds are the noises made by the intestines.
Abdominal sounds (bowel sounds) are made by the movement of the intestines as they push food through. Since the intestines are hollow, bowel sounds can echo through the abdomen much like the sounds heard from water pipes.
Most bowel sounds are harmless and simply mean that the gastrointestinal tract is working. A doctor can check abdominal sounds by listening to the abdomen with a stethoscope (auscultation).
Although most bowel sounds are normal, there are some instances in which abnormal bowel sounds provide valuable information about the health of the body.
Ileus is a condition in which there is a lack of intestinal activity. Many medical conditions may lead to ileus. It is important to evaluate it further because gas, fluids, and the contents of the intestines can build up and break open (rupture) the bowel wall. The doctor may be unable to hear any bowel sounds when listening to the abdomen.
Reduced (hypoactive) bowel sounds include a reduction in the loudness, tone, or regularity of the sounds. They are a sign that intestinal activity has slowed.
Hypoactive bowel sounds are normal during sleep, and also occur normally for a short time after the use of certain medications and after abdominal surgery. Decreased or absent bowel sounds often indicate constipation.
Increased (hyperactive) bowel sounds can sometimes be heard even without a stethoscope. Hyperactive bowel sounds mean there is an increase in intestinal activity. This can sometimes occur with diarrhea and after eating.
Abdominal sounds are always evaluated together with symptoms such as:
If bowel sounds are hypoactive or hyperactive and there are other abnormal symptoms, it is important for you to have continued follow-up with your health care provider.
For example, no bowel sounds after a period of hyperactive bowel sounds can mean there is a rupture of the intestines, or strangulation of the bowel and death (necrosis) of the bowel tissue.
Very high-pitched bowel sounds may be a sign of early bowel obstruction.
Most of the sounds you hear in your stomach and intestines are due to normal digestion and are no need for concern. Many conditions can cause hyperactive or hypoactive bowel sounds. Most are harmless and do not need to be treated.
The following is a list of more serious conditions that can cause abnormal bowel sounds.
Hyperactive, hypoactive, or missing bowel sounds:
Other causes of hypoactive bowel sounds:
Other causes of hyperactive bowel sounds:
Call your health care provider if you experience any symptoms such as:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask you questions about your medical history. You may be asked:
Depending on the findings of your physical exam, the doctor may order more tests. Tests may include:
If there are signs of an emergency, you will be sent to the hospital. A tube will be placed through your nose or mouth into the stomach or intestines. This empties the contents of your intestines. Usually, you will not be allowed to eat or drink anything so your intestines can rest. You will be given fluids through a vein (intravenously).
You may be given medication to reduce symptoms and to treat the cause of the problem. (The specific medication depends on the situation.) Some people may need surgery right away.

The cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs.
They are found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs to 10 cm tall (often less), with slender, wiry stems, not thickly woody, and small evergreen leaves.
The name cranberry probably derives from their being a favourite food of cranes.

UNDATED (CNN) -- If you're looking for a career that leads to financial security, four years of college isn't the only path.
With college costs on the rise, more young people are beginning to question whether the cost of a four-year degree is worth it. A new study from Georgetown University could be part of that conversation.
According to the study, there are at least 29 million jobs for people without four year degrees. And at least a million are unfilled. These jobs, which range from areas like nursing to the trades, pay middle class wages.
The average is $42,000 a year and almost 40 percent of them pay salaries above $50,000. But there is one catch; most of these jobs still require you to get some sort of apprenticeship, training or post-secondary certificate. Those certifications can often be earned at community colleges or trade schools.
The most popular certificates for high school graduates include nursing assistant, commercial truck driver, and insurance agent. Popular certificates for those with associates' degrees include a licensed practical nurse, a paralegal or a coding specialist.
One of the study's authors says the existence of these well-paying jobs proves the middle class may be healthier than previously thought.

|Graphing Random Walk|
I am trying a produce a random walk for a distance n and my task is to
find how many times along the walk the difference between the two values
produced is 0. The walk gives a binary output and is linked to two
selective groups. I feel I have successfully completed this bit, but am
having difficulty plotting a graph to show this. The plot should be the x
value against the natural numbers, thus a visual description of how many
times the graph goes through the x-axis, to prove the Y value produced.
What function should I use to plot this graph?
Does the function need to be done within the "For" function?

What is statute law simple definition?
We often speak of two broad sources of law: statute law (the law made by the Commonwealth, State and Territory Parliaments) and common law (for present purposes, the law made by judges in the exercise of both common law and equitable jurisdiction1).
What is a statute law example?
A police officer pulls you over, and you are given a citation for violating the speed limit. You have broken a vehicle and traffic law. This law is established by legislature as a statute, or a law that is formally written and enacted. As a result, the law you broke was a statutory law.
What is Australian statute law?
Statutory Law is law made by parliament. This may be the Federal parliament or the parliament of a State or Territory. These laws start as bills and are passed by two houses of parliament (except in Queensland where there is only one house). If the bills are approved in these houses, they become Acts.
What is the difference between a law and a statute?
Statute law is written laws originating from municipalities, states, or national legislatures; laws are written or unwritten guidelines or rules that are followed by communities. 2. Statutes are not cumulative; each legislative session has a separate volume.
Why is statute law the most important?
Some, like Works of Authority, are of lesser importance. However, Statute Law stands out as the most important source of the constitution. The reason for this is that Parliament is sovereign. Therefore, any law passed by Parliament (a Statute Law) takes precedence over all other sources of the constitution.
How do you write a statute?
There are generally four elements in a citation to a statute in the United States Code:
- The title number.
- The abbreviation of the code used (here, U.S.C.)
- The section symbol (§) followed by a space and the section number containing the statute.
- The year of the code. (optional if citing to the current code – Bluebook R.
What is an example of a case law?
Example of Case Law Application
Martin argues that the new law applies only to landlords of large multi-tenant properties. … When they sue their landlord, the court must use the previous court's decision in applying the law. This example of case law refers to two cases heard in the state court, at the same level.
Does statutory mean Legal?
Both are adjectives and both are concerned with the law. If something is legal, it is allowed by the law, whereas if it is statutory, it is regulated by law.
What are the statutes of God?
According to verse 1, God's commandments are his rules and statutes – so pretty much anything God says in the Bible. Commandments, rules, and statutes seem to be interchangeable according to this verse.
What are the 2 types of laws in Australia?
There are two main sources of law in Australia, case law or common law, based on the decisions of judges in the superior courts, and legislation, the law made by Parliament.
What is an example of statute law in Australia?
statute law: the body of law enacted by the nine parliaments (one Commonwealth, six state and two territory), for example: – state legislation such as the Goods Act 1958 (Vic); Crimes Act 1958 (Vic); – Commonwealth legislation such as the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
What is an example of common law in Australia?
In a common law system, decisions of superior courts are binding on inferior courts. So, for example, precedents set by the High Court of Australia must be followed by the Supreme Court of New South Wales, the District Court of New South Wales, and the Local Court of New South Wales.

The Train Station
The building of the railroad that ran through Pocantico Hills began in _PHONE_. The railroad, planned as a direct route from New York City to Montreal, was completed only as far as Carmel, New York.
Originally the railroad crossed a swampy area which is now the larger of the two Tarrytown water supply lakes. It stretched over a large trestle that held it high above the swampland. The trestle began at East View and lowered to the ground to go through the Pocantico Hills Rock Cut which is now closed to the public because of falling rocks.
The train station was built where the Tarrytown skating shed now stands. Pocantico Hills became a thriving business community because of the railroad. It consisted of two livery stables, two grocery stores, a butcher shop, two apartment houses, a post office and two hotels.
Mr. Rockefeller found the presence of the train objectionable. Bothered by the noise and dirt, he had to wear goggles while playing golf. Eventually, Mr. Rockefeller Jr. paid to have the railroad moved to Briarcliff so he would not suffer. Many people sold their houses to him so that the railroad could be relocated.
This marked the end of the railroad's running through Pocantico Hills. It took twenty-five years and five million dollars for Mr. Rockefeller to achieve his goal.

Portis Gold Mine
The Portis Gold Mine, located in the northeastern corner of Franklin County, was the first mine in the Eastern Carolina Belt (composed of Warren, Halifax, Franklin, and Nash Counties) and operated intermittently from about 1835 to 1936. The Portis gold deposit was in the rocks of the Spring Hope Formation in the eastern slate belt. The primary mining method has been identified as "hydraulicking" 15 to 30 feet of surface material, but recovery was hampered by the region's sticky clay. The total amount of gold mined is unknown. In 1884 the estimate was more than $1 million, and in 1972 one geologist projected that up to $7 million worth of gold was mined in that area.
By the end of the nineteenth century, gold in the Portis mine was difficult to find and there were no profits to be had. The final attempts to extract gold were by the Norlina Mining Company, which brought in heavy mining equipment and constructed an assay lab, a main building for the crushing equipment, a dormitory, a superintendent's house, a blacksmith and machine shop, and a six-million-gallon reservoir for the water required by the gold recovery process. The cost of the mining operation exceeded by one-third the value of the gold recovered, and the mine was closed in 1936.

Humor and Empowerment of Women in Carol Satyamurti's
I Shall Paint my Nails Red
Carole Satyamurti, a poet and sociologist cleverly weaved the plight of ordinary women in I Shall Paint my Nails Red : women who are seen as a mere background of the societyneglected and lost in the mundane of her existence. While it is easy to discern that I Shall Paint my Nails is nothing but the showcasing of a woman's vanity seeking attention, a closer look at the poem would reveal a deeper and multi-layered analysis
of women. In essence, Carole Satyamurti's I Shall Paint my Nails Red was able to show the different roles and interpretations of women of her self, to her daughter, to her lover, the society and to lifethat painting her nails red symbolizes a departure from her customary role in to show an intelligent, interesting and valuable person capable of so much more than her ordinary routines. It is a declaration of a woman's importance
The color red is interpreted in poetry as a figure of speech for passion, anger and strong emotions. In this light, Satyamurti used this color to depict a seemingly humorous and trivial poem into one that speaks of a woman's importance. In the first line "because a bit of color is a public service (line 1 " Satyamurti departs from the convention that public service is about service, the economy and production. Essentially, the poem recognizes that it is not only men who are components of production and economics that can perform public service but also women who provide not only entertainment but beauty and compassion. This is affirmed in her second line when Satyamurti declared that "because i am proud of my hands (line 2'connoting that her hands that are used to do household chores are also important. By painting it red, Satyamurti calls attention to the role of women in the society and in the familythat while they are not being paid for work they do everyday of their lives, it should not be neglected. Thus, being proud of one's hands and putting a red paint on it declares that the woman is aware of her economic and sociological role and significance
On the other hand, the third and fourth lines of the poem points to the theme of strength and empowerment in women. In the line "because it will remind me I'm a woman (line 3 " and "because I will look like a survivor " the woman is declaring that being a woman means being brave and strong. Thus, by re-affirming her gender identity, the person in the poem is also recognizing that women in general possess strength of characters. Furthermore, because the color red symbolizes intense emotions, it evokes attention thereby, reminding us that women are not ordinary. For instance, in the fifth line "because I can admire them in traffic jams (line 5 " it is easy to note that this is vanity...

AAudio is an audio API introduced in the Android 8.0 release. The Android 8.1 release has enhancements to reduce latency when used in conjunction with a HAL and driver that support MMAP. This document describes the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and driver changes needed to support AAudio's MMAP feature in Android.
Support for AAudio MMAP requires:
- reporting the MMAP capabilities of the HAL
- implementing new functions in the HAL
- optionally implementing a custom ioctl() for the EXCLUSIVE mode buffer
- providing an additional hardware data path
- setting system properties that enable MMAP feature
AAudio is a new native C API that provides an alternative to Open SL ES. It uses a Builder design pattern to create audio streams.
AAudio provides a low-latency data path. In EXCLUSIVE mode, the feature allows client application code to write directly into a memory mapped buffer that is shared with the ALSA driver. In SHARED mode, the MMAP buffer is used by a mixer running in the AudioServer. In EXCLUSIVE mode, the latency is significantly less because the data bypasses the mixer.
In EXCLUSIVE mode, the service requests the MMAP buffer from the HAL and manages the resources. The MMAP buffer is running in NOIRQ mode, so there are no shared read/write counters to manage access to the buffer. Instead, the client maintains a timing model of the hardware and predicts when the buffer will be read.
In the diagram below, we can see the Pulse-code modulation (PCM) data flowing down through the MMAP FIFO into the ALSA driver. Timestamps are periodically requested by the AAudio service and then passed up to the client's timing model through an atomic message queue.
In SHARED mode, a timing model is also used, but it lives in the AAudioService.
For audio capture, a similar model is used, but the PCM data flows in the opposite direction.
For tinyALSA see:
int pcm_start(struct pcm *pcm); int pcm_stop(struct pcm *pcm); int pcm_mmap_begin(struct pcm *pcm, void **areas, unsigned int *offset, unsigned int *frames); int pcm_get_poll_fd(struct pcm *pcm); int pcm_mmap_commit(struct pcm *pcm, unsigned int offset, unsigned int frames); int pcm_mmap_get_hw_ptr(struct pcm* pcm, unsigned int *hw_ptr, struct timespec *tstamp);
For the legacy HAL, see:
int start(const struct audio_stream_out* stream); int stop(const struct audio_stream_out* stream); int create_mmap_buffer(const struct audio_stream_out *stream, int32_t min_size_frames, struct audio_mmap_buffer_info *info); int get_mmap_position(const struct audio_stream_out *stream, struct audio_mmap_position *position);
For HIDL audio HAL:
hardware/interfaces/audio/2.0/IStream.hal hardware/interfaces/audio/2.0/types.hal hardware/interfaces/audio/2.0/default/Stream.h
start() generates (Result retval); stop() generates (Result retval) ; createMmapBuffer(int32_t minSizeFrames) generates (Result retval, MmapBufferInfo info); getMmapPosition() generates (Result retval, MmapPosition position);
Reporting MMAP support
System property "aaudio.mmap_policy" should be set to 2 (AAUDIO_POLICY_AUTO) so the audio framework knows that MMAP mode is supported by the audio HAL. (see "Enabling AAudio MMAP Data Path" below.)
audio_policy_configuration.xml file must also contain an output and input profile specific to MMAP/NO IRQ mode so that the Audio Policy Manager knows which stream to open when MMAP clients are created:

Opening and closing an MMAP stream
createMmapBuffer(int32_t minSizeFrames) generates (Result retval, MmapBufferInfo info);
The MMAP stream can be opened and closed by calling Tinyalsa functions.
Querying MMAP position
The timestamp passed back to the Timing Model contains a frame position and a MONOTONIC time in nanoseconds:
getMmapPosition() generates (Result retval, MmapPosition position);
The HAL can obtain this information from the ALSA driver by calling a new Tinyalsa function:
int pcm_mmap_get_hw_ptr(struct pcm* pcm, unsigned int *hw_ptr, struct timespec *tstamp);
File Descriptors for Shared Memory
The AAudio MMAP data path uses a memory region that is shared between the hardware and the audio service. The shared memory is referenced using a file descriptor that is generated by the ALSA driver.
If the file descriptor is directly associated with a
/dev/snd/ driver file, then it can be used by the AAudio service in
SHARED mode. But the descriptor cannot be passed to the client code for
EXCLUSIVE mode. The
/dev/snd/ file descriptor would provide too
broad of access to the client, so it is blocked by SELinux.
In order to support EXCLUSIVE mode, it is necessary to convert the
/dev/snd/ descriptor to an
descriptor. SELinux allows that file descriptor to be passed to the client. It
can also be used by the AAudioService.
anon_inode:dmabuf file descriptor can be generated using the
Android Ion memory library.
For additional information, see these external resources:
- "The Android ION memory allocator" _URL_
- "Android ION overview" _URL_
- "Integrating the ION memory allocator" _URL_
The AAudio service needs to know if this
supported. Before Android 10.0, the only way to do that was to pass the size of the MMAP
buffer as a negative number, eg. -2048 instead of 2048, if supported. In Android 10.0 and later
you can set the
mmapBufferInfo |= AUDIO_MMAP_APPLICATION_SHAREABLE;
Audio subsystem changes
AAudio requires an additional data path at the audio front end of the audio subsystem so it can operate in parallel with the original AudioFlinger path. That legacy path is used for all other system sounds and application sounds. This functionality could be provided by a software mixer in a DSP or a hardware mixer in the SOC.
Enabling AAudio MMAP Data Path
AAudio will use the legacy AudioFlinger data path if MMAP is not supported or fails to open a stream. So AAudio will work with an audio device that does not support MMAP/NOIRQ path.
When testing MMAP support for AAudio, it is important to know whether you are actually testing the MMAP data path or merely testing the legacy data path. The following describes how to enable or force specific data paths, and how to query the path used by a stream.
You can set the MMAP policy through system properties:
- 1 = AAUDIO_POLICY_NEVER - Only use legacy path. Do not even try to use MMAP.
- 2 = AAUDIO_POLICY_AUTO - Try to use MMAP. If that fails or is not available, then use legacy path.
- 3 = AAUDIO_POLICY_ALWAYS - Only use MMAP path. Do not fall back to legacy path.
These may be set in the devices Makefile, like so:
# Enable AAudio MMAP/NOIRQ data path. # 2 is AAUDIO_POLICY_AUTO so it will try MMAP then fallback to Legacy path. PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += aaudio.mmap_policy=2 # Allow EXCLUSIVE then fall back to SHARED. PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += aaudio.mmap_exclusive_policy=2
You can also override these values after the device has booted. You will need to restart the audioserver for the change to take effect. For example, to enable AUTO mode for MMAP:
adb shell setprop aaudio.mmap_policy 2
adb shell killall audioserver
There are functions provided in
ndk/sysroot/usr/include/aaudio/AAudioTesting.h that allow you to
override the policy for using MMAP path:
aaudio_result_t AAudio_setMMapPolicy(aaudio_policy_t policy);
To find out whether a stream is using MMAP path, call:
bool AAudioStream_isMMapUsed(AAudioStream* stream);

The Australian Die Casting Association (also known as ADCA) represents the Die Casting industry in Australia. The objectives of the Association are to promote research and development activities in Die Casting.
In 1971, the Die Casting industry, through the Australian Zinc Development Association, SDCEA, and the DIA, actively and effectively assisted in setting up the first serious R & D facility at CSIRO.
A small but dedicated team of research workers was brought together and very soon they began to produce findings and knowledge of lasting benefit to the Die Casting Industry. This information became available in the form of published papers, conference presentations and industrial reports and soon gained international recognition for its innovation and high standard. The industry also appreciated this work because much of it was done in close cooperation with Die Casting companies, and they could see the practical way it could be implemented.
This activity has continued to grow, and the benefits continue to accrue. It remains a prime focus of ADCA to encourage all Die Casting companies, whether big or small, to play a part in this vital activity. Participation in cooperative Research and Development enables both costs and benefits to be shared. People benefit by gaining new ways of thinking about manufacturing problems, and by being part of a widely based team, gain new skills in the process.

The True Meaning Of Faiz's Poem 'Gulon Mein Rang Bharay'
 - 306
Many people have heard the poem 'Gulon mein rang bhare' by Faiz Ahmed Faiz, whom I regard the greatest Urdu poet of the 20th century. But hardly anyone has understood its real meaning. They think it is a poem dedicated to a lover. In fact it is a call for a revolution. Let me explain.
1. Urdu poetry is often written not directly, but in a round about way, by allusions, hints, indications and suggestions. It often has a superficial, literal, outer meaning, and an inner, deeper, real meaning, to understand which one has to wrack one's brains.
2. Great Urdu poets like Ghalib believed that poetry should not be written in the language of the common man, and they had a horror of the commonplace. To make it dignified and sophisticated (andaaz-e-bayaan) they often used Persian expressions and metaphors.
3. To properly understand the poem one has to see the historical context. For example, the poem in question was written by Faiz when he was in jail, accused in the Rawalpindi conspiracy case, for which he could have even be hanged. Hence he could not criticise the government directly, but had to use very guarded, indirect language while writing the poem, like Maxim Gorky's 'Song of the Stormy Petrel' which was written in 1901 when Russia was under the autocratic Czarist rule, and it was dangerous to use direct language.
Now let me explain the real meaning of the poem, sher (couplet) by sher.
1. Gulon mein rang bhare baad-e-naubahaar chale
 Chale bhi ao ki gulshan ka kaarobaar chale
Now the literal, outer, superficial meaning of the sher is this :
Come, so that the work of the garden can be done"
So, literally it seems to be a call to a lover.
But that is not what Faiz is really conveying. The word 'gulshan' (garden) is not to be understood literally. It means the country.
The first 'misra' (line) really means that the objective situation in the country is ripe for a revolution. The second misra is a call to patriots and revolutionaries to come forward and fight for the country, which is in great distress.
2. Qafas udaas hai yaaron saba se kuch to kaho
The literal meaning of this is:
"The prison is sad, friends, say something to the morning breeze
For God's sake at least somewhere there should be mention of one's beloved"
The real meaning here is that the whole country has become a qafas (prison).
The word 'yaar' (beloved) used here really means the people, not just one person.
So the poet is calling upon patriots to step forward and fight for the people, since the whole country has become a jail (which Pakistan had become under martial law).
3. Kabhi to subeh tere kunj-e-lab se ho aaghaaz
 Kabhi to shab sar-e-kaakul se mushkbaar chale
The literal meaning of this is:
"At least sometimes let the morning start from the corner of your lips
At least sometimes in the night your tresses be filled with a scent like musk"
But what the poet is really conveying is that at least sometimes the people should think of the country, not just of oneself.
4. "Jo hum pe guzri so guzri magar shab-e-hijraan
Hamaare ashk teri aaqabat sanwaar chale"
This literally literally means:
"Whatever befell me befell me, but on the night of separation
My tears adorned your future"
The real meaning here is that the poet is thinking of a patriot's death, when he will be separated from the people, his real lover. He says that though he will be no more, his struggles will have helped their cause.
5. Maqaam Faiz raah mein koi jacha hi nahi
 Jo koo-e-yaar se nikle, soo-e-daar chale
This literally means :
"I could not on my route find any place where I could settle down
When I left the street of my beloved, I went to the gallows"
But what the poet is really conveying is the difficult, formidable and Herculean journey of the revolutionary, who after serving his beloved (the people) often ends up on the gallows.

Ufo Case Files Of Russia
Created by Jijith Nadumuri at 03 Mar 2011 15:30 and updated at 30 May 2011 05:53
Ufo Case Files Of Russia is a book authored by the Russian UFOlogist Paul Stonehill and the British UFOlogist Philip Mantle. This book introduces the UFO phenomena of the most important cases, observations, and sightings. UFO CASE FILES OF RUSSIA endeavours to describe efforts of those dedicated researchers who have stubbornly pursued UFO research in the Russian Empire, the USSR, and modern Russia.
UFO-CASE-FILES-OF-RUSSIA.jpg paul%20stonehill.jpg Philip%20Mantle.JPG
Paul Stonehill Philip Mantle
Ancient-astronaut theory is gaining prominence due to the combined analysis of ancient literature in various ancient civilizations of the world including that of the Egyptians, Indians, Chinese, Mesopotamian, Greek, Asteks and Mayans. This book however is not directly dealing with ancient-astronaut theory. It instead discusses several paranormal incidents as they occurred and what the witnesses or those who studied about these incidents did about them, thought about them and/or concluded about them. Yet it gives several starting-points leading to the question of ancient astronaut presence or on the question of technological excellence of the ancient world that they developed by their own or by the influence of the ancient aliens. What got my attention in this book, relevant to the study of ancient India and the strange narrations in Mahabharata is the following passages. These are published here with the permission of Paul Stonehill:-
The Golden Woman
The initial chapters of the book deals with ancient Russia and incidents happened in those periods which modern UFO researchers would classify as UFO or alien encounters. Here is mentioned about a statue of the Golden woman who is associated with ancient Sumerian and Indian civilizations.
The Space Rocket with Sanskrit Inscriptions in the cockpit
Page 44:- In the 90s of the 20th century the outstanding archeologist V.Khvoika gained fame through the discovery of the ancient Trypillian culture in Ukraine. He found a "Space Rocket". The object was removed, cut into several pieces and placed in trucks. Strange writings were discovered in the "cockpit" of the space rocket. The language was Sanskrit, an ancient language of India. The Soviets were able to solve some of the secrets of the rocket ship and it helped them when they were in the process of building their own space technologies.
Page 45:- Could we surmise that if the object discovered and excavated in Kiev in 1948 was an ancient Indian space rocket? There was yet another mention of a strange archeological discovery in Kiev. This time a chest containing five hundred books written in Arabic, Greek, Sanskrit and Slavic languages.
The Three Eyed Alien
Page 86:- As part of some strange events recorded in September 27, 1989 in Voronezh a crown that had gathered there saw a "three-eyed alien" through an open hatch of a flying UFO (a red balls some 10 yards in diameter). The alien was about 10 feet tall, in silvery overalls, bronze colored boots and wearing a disk on his chest.
The dark skinned strangers (Hindus? Aliens?) who arrived in a craft
Page 104:- The strangers arrived in a craft that was shaped like an arrowhead of large dimensions. There were three of them, all of whom were described as dark skinned people… Were these strangers Hindus or aliens from outer space? It is possible for Hindus to travel to Russia over mountains at an altitude of seven kilometers… Apparently the craft did not have an engine and used no fuel. Thus air currents apparently moved it.
Page 108: The UFO flew towards Astrakhan (This city has a Sanskrit etymology:- Astra-khani, the place where the Astras or arrows are stored!)
Aircraft coated with silver-colored fabric like in an ancient Vimana
Page 141: The aircraft was spherical and had a diameter of about seven meters. It had a small, drop-like cockpit, four tall legs with tiny wheels. The aircraft's hull was either made from metal or covered with silver-colored fabric. (The descriptions of Vimanas in ancient Indian texts mentions that some Vimanas are spherical and are coated with silver)
Ancient electronics or ancient nano-tech?
Page 151: The fragments showed that the UFO consisted of unusual elements. They resembled electroinc boards of modern TV sets except that their elements consisted of atoms and molecules skillfully "mounted" on silica base. (ancient Nano-technology?)
Mention of submerged cities like that of the Nivata Kavachas
Page 176: They discovered three human skeletons each more than three meters tall. The skeletons were adored with decorations that looked like bats made from silver. There is a Kirgiz legend about a submerged city in the Issik Kul Lake (Kyrgistan) a deep water lake in Transiliysk Ala Tau area. Also observed in Trans-Baikal and western Siberian regions. (Mahabharat mentions about the submerged city of Nivatakavachas)
Mention about exotic materials
Page 198: The balls had a metallic sheen and possessed of structures resembling crystalline and would not be dissolved in any acid
Deva-like ancient tribe in China?
Page 201: Mysteries of the Ural mountains:- In the 1980s perfectly preserved 3000 years old mummies began appearing in a remote Chines desert. They had long reddish-blond hair, European features and didn't appear to be ancestors of th modern-day Chinese people. Archeologists now think that they may have been the people of an ancient civilization that existed at the crossroads between China and Europe perhaps even the southern Ural steppes.
(Are these the Devas or the Gandharvas mentioned in Mahabharata)?. My analysis shows that the Devas and Asuras were the first advanced civilization that developed on the banks of Saraswati river of North-Western India, who later migrated northwards along the Sindhu and Saraswati rivers to Tibet and settled there. They were in search of colder climatic conditions which receded from the Saraswati basin but was available in southern Tibet due to the decline of the last ice age (10,000 BC to 8000 BC). Later they might have spread from southern Tibet to northern China where these old mummies are found with Caucasian features. This implies that the Deva-Asura tribe were the forerunners of the ancient Central Asian and European tribes.)
Asura like tribes who lived in Patala (underground cities)
Page 201-202: Udmurts (oldest eastern-Finnish people in the north west woodland Urals) who were also known as ari, arsk, or as chud. The chuds were also mentioned as strange dark skinned tribe with secret-powers, who lived in the bowels of earth where they built underground cities. (Mahabharata mentions about underground cities of the Nagas and Asuras in Patala. Are these people the Asuras or the Nagas who lived in Patala?)
The lake named Narada and its mysteries
Page 207: Thousands of strange mostly spiral-shaped objects has been found in _PHONE_ by gold prospectors on the small river Narada on the eastern side of the Urals. (Narada is an ancient globe-trotting traveler sage mentioned in Mahabharata. Strange that there is a river by that name in Russia. Equally intriguing is the spiral-shaped objects.)
Anomalous regions with time dilation
Page 216: In Barsa-Kelms Island there is an anomalous region where some members spent half an hour in a 'white fog" but upon return found out they were missing a day
Anomalous regions with space-time portals
Page 219: The natives of Priamurije have legends that describe heavens opening "doors" between different worlds. The worlds are located in the "outer original world", "underground" and in the "Great Beyond". (Sounds like the space-time portals towards the-fourteen-worlds mentioned in the Puranas). They also describe about aircrafts and believe that "flying saucers" are nothing but the ships of the "Sovereigns of the Thunder" (An allusion to Indra the lord of Thunder?)
River Angara
Page 221: Such anomalies (eg:- Devil's Cemetry) are also found in a river named Kova, the tributary of the Angara river. (This river name seems to have a Sanskrit etymology. Angara means 'glowing red'. The word also seems to be the basis for the English word 'anger'. When one is angry, ones face turns red. A Gandharva in Mahabharata is named AngaraParna, the Gandharva with red hair. Similarly the red-planet Mars is named Angaraka. It will be interesting to know if this Russian river is red in color.
Levitating shaman and iron clothings, ancient astronauts?
Page 227: Legends around a lake in Chukotka includes mention about a shaman capable of levitation. From the descriptions he is mentioned as dressed in what modern observers could recognize as space-suits. (A case for the ancient-astronaut theory.)
Page 231: Another legend in Yakutia (Shaka) mentions about "very skinny black one-eyed people in iron clothing" (Similarly a case for the ancient astronaut theory.)
Mammoths as late as 1000 BC
