Other Residents
The following is a summary of the discussion and actions taken at the Port of the Islands Community Improvement District (CID) Board of Supervisors meeting.
FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS Call to Order and Roll Call
The Port of the Islands Community Improvement District meeting was called to order by Chair Kish and all Board members were present. Also at the meeting were Cal Teague, District Manager, Anthony Pires, the Attorney, David Schmitt from Hole Montes Engineering, Mitch Gilbert from FUS, and Robert Soto from Soto Lawn Service, Scott Prepham, Louisville Title Company, and Steve McNamee, Resident. Audrey Sanders, Orchid Cove Resident, Marcene (who did not provide her last name), and Christopher Dudak from PDM participated via web conference.
SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS Pledge of Allegiance
THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Chair Rotation Discussion
An item was requested by Supervisor Jensen, who felt that the Chair position of the Board should rotate annually.
Chair Kish began by informing the Board about a meeting he had with a landowner and Attorney Pires without the knowledge of District Manager Teague or the Board. The purpose was to prevent a potential breach of Sunshine laws when Mr. McNamee requested records, and a subsequent threat of a lawsuit against District Manager Teague for not cooperating as Mr. McNamee requested. Board members expressed concern that they were not informed about the meeting, and about the resulting legal fees incurred.
After much discussion, the Board agreed to make a change in the Chair and Vice Chair, and to further consider changing the Chair after every election, and possibly on an annual basis. Vice Chair O'Connell was nominated for Chair. Supervisor Holloway was nominated for Vice Chair.
Attorney Pires commented that the Agenda would need to be amended to allow this action.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Supervisor Jensen, with all in favor, the Board accepted the nomination of Vice Chair O'Connell as Chair, effective at the next meeting date of December 17, 2021. The Board accepted the amended Agenda as presented, including the reorganization of the Board.
Vice Chair O'Connell nominated Supervisor Leishear as Vice Chair, with no second.
On MOTION by Chair Kish, seconded by Supervisor Jensen, with all in favor, the Board accepted the nomination of Supervisor Holloway as Vice Chair, effective at the next meeting on December 17, 2021.
Attorney Pires reminded the Board that the previous changes in Board positions will be ratified with a reorganization resolution, which will be presented at the next meeting.
FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Approval of the Agenda
Include 10G – ERC Transfer Request. The amended Agenda was accepted in a previous motion.
FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Audience Comments on Agenda Items
Rick Swope from 167 Cays asked about a letter he had sent, and which District Manager Teague had forwarded to the Board, concerning the sale of Parcel 13. He felt that the community is being forced to sell this parcel, even though the District has no debt and has a solid financial position. He believes that the Board should wait to sell it. The Board stated that the reason for selling it is the income it will generate, and that it will help alleviate delays of capital and maintenance expenses.
SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Approval of Meeting Minutes
A. Draft Meeting Minutes for October 15, 2021
Change Line 34 "a lot" to "a lot of land" to avoid confusion.
Change Line 99 from "HOA" to "COA".
Change Line 143 to "based on a 3 down to 1 reduction or ERCs when completed with an occupancy permit from the county". Strike the rest.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Vice Chair O'Connell, with all in favor, the Board accepted the Draft Meeting Minutes of October 15, 2021, as amended.
SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Landscape Maintenance
A. Landscaper Notes
Robert Soto reviewed his report and presented several proposals for consideration:
His crew will be mowing the retention area. This had not been previously completed due to water saturation.
He submitted a Palm Tree trimming proposal.
There are also proposals for Firebush installs on US 41 and near the bridge area.
Mr. Soto stated that there has been some irrigation damage from a truck going through the median on October 27, 2021. The Board would like to see the police report and determine if there are options for reimbursement of repair expenses.
B. Union Road Median Plantings Proposal
Robert presented proposal #4657 to relandscape the median at Union Road, which is the entrance to Orchid Cove. He recommended the placement of sod, rather than plantings.
On MOTION by Supervisor Holloway, seconded by Supervisor Leishear, with all in favor, the Board accepted Proposal #4657 to landscape the median at the north side of Union Road at US 41 for $5,876.50, as presented.
C. Any New Proposals
Robert presented three new proposals.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Supervisor Holloway, with all in favor, the Board approved Proposal #4663 to trim the palm trees, at the cost of $3,654, Proposal #4664 for landscaping the washed out area on the west side of the 41 median, at the cost of $1,044, and Proposal #4665 for landscaping on the portion before the bridge on the west side of the US 41 median, at the cost of $666.
Supervisor Jensen complimented Soto Lawn Service for the previous trimming of the palms.
District Manager Teague requested that the mowers be careful not to mow the cannas along the retention ponds.
EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Utility Operations
A. Utility Report
Mitch Gilbert from Florida Utility Solutions (FUS) presented and summarized his report:
He commented that they are manually filling the reuse tank to prevent overflowing. The inflow PLC has been ordered and will be installed when it is received.
During the wastewater plant inspection E.coli were observed. He stated that FUS took 20 samples, and they were sent to two different labs. The result was that they all tested negative. He emphasized that the community's potable supply of water was at no time at risk of contamination.
Supervisor Jensen wondered if there has been an increase in sheet flow on the north wellfield. Mitch stated that there has been, and also that those main supply lines from the wells could be underwater in the future. Mitch observed that this could be caused by an environmental project north of Port of the Islands, which is designed to bring back sheet flow. It was suggested that the road could be raised so that the supply lines would not be underwater.
Chair Kish commented on Mitch's invoices. He stated that he was not disputing the prices, but he felt that the parts and labor should be listed separately. Mitch explained how the line items are presented, such as, where they reflect contract prices, when labor hours are outside the contract, and where parts are needed. Chair Kish felt that his concerns were alleviated after Mitch's explanation.
It was requested that all ongoing contracts that were sent to Chair Kish be sent to the rest of the Board.
B. Water Meter Changeout Program Update
All have been completed except the larger meters. He is still waiting on delivery and hopes to have the project completed by the end of the year.
C. Sinking Sewer Cleanout Repairs
This project has been completed.
D. Orchid Cove Backflow Preventer Repairs Update
This project will be completed by the next meeting.
E. Area Lights and Cameras at Plant Update
The lights, light ballasts, and cameras should be installed by the next meeting. Three cameras have been installed so far.
NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Engineer Report
A. New Home Construction/Drainage/Sidewalk Damage Issues
Engineer David Schmitt reviewed his report and several items were discussed:
He put a spreadsheet in the packet outlining the progress on 16 new homes under construction.
The resident at 199 Cays Drive has requested a ramp across the swale for accessibility by a wheelchair. He was asking for a conceptual agreement from the Board. Attorney Pires explained the legal requirements, and he has a template to accommodate this request. This could be advantageous for the resident and the District, because they maintain drainage designs.
On MOTION by Supervisor Holloway, seconded by Vice Chair O'Connell, with all in favor, the Board agreed that Attorney Pires will create a non-disturbance and encroachment agreement for 199 Cays Drive.
There is a drainage issue on Sunset Cay, because the easement was not identified properly. It needs a 6′ easement agreement to bring it into conformity with the current drainage swale designs.
Other drainage issues were discussed, and Engineer Schmitt is monitoring them.
i. Joe the Builder Cleanup Issues
This was a concern made by Vice Chair O'Connell regarding construction material. If seen in the future, the Board will contact District Manager Teague. Pictures will be taken by Board members and sent to Code Enforcement by District Manager Teague and Staff.
B. Drainage Concerns Along Cays and Newport Drive
Engineer Schmitt submitted a field report after a big rain. This report pointed out that some swales need to be reestablished. He would like to delay these repairs until all new home construction on Cays Drive is completed. His priority is to complete the repair on Newport and Morning Star first, then on Cays Drive when the constructions are completed.
District Manager Teague recommended that the Board authorize Engineer Schmitt to place elevation stakes in the swales, so developers have that information. He will send out Field Manager Pepin to place them, which will save money.
Upon Supervisor Jensen's comment, road stone piles will be purchased for the Union Road potholes. Hole Montes will get the material, have it placed in a pile, and it will be spread by Mitch Gilbert.
C. Bid Specifications for New Generator and Control Board
This is still being developed.
D. Reevaluate Ownership of Stella Maris Stormwater System
According to various agreements in the past, the CID has not had control over the stormwater system in Stella Maris. This was controlled by a condo or Property Owners Association (POA). Initially the developer plans included condos, and the utilities were private. The Board agreed that there should be parity, because the CID controls this system in all other areas of the community. The Board agreed that the CID should take over ownership of the stormwater system and all other systems not controlled by the CID. Engineer Schmitt stated that if the CID takes over all the permits, easements, and structure areas, the roads could be a problem, because the condos have common areas and the roads cannot be transferred.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Supervisor Jensen, with all in favor, the Board agreed that Engineer Schmitt and Attorney Pires will research the systems not being maintained by the CID at Stella Maris, and any permits in a POA's name. Engineer Schmitt will identify the costs to maintain them.
E. Statutory Requirements on Stormwater and Wastewater
A schedule for the requirements of House Bill 53 was prepared by Staff, and was handed out in the packet.
Engineer Schmitt included the template for stormwater. The wastewater template has not been prepared as of yet. He sees no problem with meeting the deadline.
A resident of Evening Star Cay asked if this area has the same situation as Stella Maris, regarding the maintenance responsibilities. She was informed that it does not. Also, she would like a bridge across the swale behind her house. Attorney Pires will research this.
Chair Kish would like a better breakdown in the Hole Montes invoices. Engineer Schmitt will add more detail in next month's invoices.
TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS District Manager Report
A. Resolution 2202-01 FY 2021 Budget Amendment
The auditors will want an amendment for overruns. There is an overrun for the engineer for preparing the CIP update. Mosquito spraying went over $37,000. The capital outlay for the utility meters changeout was charged to the water sewer fund, not the general fund. The total expenses to be amended is $79,438.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Supervisor Holloway, with all in favor, the Board adopted the Resolution 2202-01 FY 2021 Budget Amendment.
B. Monthly Financial Report
The Board would like to be informed of likely Budget overruns, so they can be identified when the next Budget is developed.
On MOTION by Vice Chair O'Connell, seconded by Supervisor Holloway, with all in favor, the Board accepted the October 2021 Financial Report, as presented.
C. Historical Issues Book Update
District Manager Teague informed the Board that it should hopefully be completed by next month. Supervisor Jensen would like Ron Benson to be at the meeting when it is presented.
D. Discussion on Board Incurring Legal or Engineering Expenses
The whole Board would like to be informed by email when a Supervisor has a request that would incur legal or engineering expense. This is for information only, not for approval. Attorney Pires and Engineer Schmitt explained that they have legal requirements to represent the Board, despite what is directed or decided by District Manager Teague.
E. Airplane Club Field Mowing Update
District Manager Teague reported that the mowing was to be completed at the end of October and each following weekend, but it is delayed due to water saturation. Cliff MacMorris is also considering the request to spread gravel on Union Road potholes, if the CID provides the gravel. Mitch Gilbert has agreed to spread the gravel, so they can remove the request from the Model Airplane Club.
F. Irrigation Line Lightning Strike Insurance Claim
The claim was submitted on October 28, 2021 and is currently being researched by Egis Insurance Company.
G. ERC Transfer Report
Steve MacNamee requested to transfer 8 utility ERCs and 6 O&M ERCs from Parcel A to Parcel B, both of which he owns. This application was submitted to District Manager Teague, and he forwarded it to Engineer Schmitt and Attorney Pires.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Vice Chair O'Connell, with no vote, there was a request to suspend any discussion on ERCs until new rules are completed, except for those currently authorized.
Because Mr. MacNamee's request was covered by the current rules and is not to be considered for change, the motion was withdrawn.
Engineer Schmitt and Attorney Pires have 10 days to review the request and send a recommendation to the Board. The Board agreed to extend this meeting to December 3, 2021 to expedite the response to this request.
District Manager Teague broached the subject of mosquito spraying. He asked the Board if they would like to continue spraying if the number of mosquitos has gone down. If not, the spraying will end at the end of the month. The Board would like to see it continue 3 days a week, and they would like the contractor to determine the frequency and intensity.
District Manager Teague also stated that Clarke will be coming to fix the remote controls and calibrate the sprayers.
A resident asked about the spraying by the Collier County Mosquito Control District (CCMCD). District Manager Teague stated that the Collier County Commissioners rescinded the previous resolution, so a new resolution was presented. The CCMCD Manager and Commissioner LoCastro stated that Port of the Islands was still included and spraying could be implemented in October.
ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Field Manager Report
A. Field Report
Because of the length of the meeting, District Manager Teague asked if the report could be delayed. The Board agreed, and if they have any questions, they could email District Manager Teague.
Chair Kish wondered why the District is being charged for its own irrigation water, as he has noticed on the invoices. District Manager Teague explained that this is required by the auditors.
B. Other Follow-up Items
i. Cays Drive Landscape Lights Repair Update
Boring for conduit has been completed, and Excel Electric is scheduled to return on November 22, 2021 to run the new wiring.
ii. Cays Drive Monument Painting Updated Proposal
Marco Island Painting provided a proposal for $2,100 to pressure wash, seal, and paint the walls. This will be reconsidered after the legal issues are resolved.
TWELFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Attorney Report
A. Prepmac Lawsuit Status
Attorney Pires reported that the status remains on hold. Nothing is happening currently.
B. Cays Drive Monument License Agreement
He sent the agreement on November 15, 2021, but it was not in the packet. There were still some questions, which will be discussed at the continued meeting.
Attorney Pires also commented that he found documentation concerning zoning requirements, at Port of the Islands. David Weeks of Collier County had provided him a copy of the July 2, 1985 DEO/POI agreement which he found interesting, and a copy of the agreement will be provided to the Board.
THIRTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Old Business
A. Parcel 13
i. LOI from Scott Prepham
Attorney Pires noted that Scott Prepham was present at the meeting as this is his topic being discussed.
Upon discussion with Attorney Pires, Supervisor Jensen stated that he will recuse himself from votes on issues associated with Scott Prepham, and that he must state his conflict of interest. According to Attorney Pires, this is because both Supervisor Jensen and Mr. Prepham have their real estate licenses with Port of the Islands Realty. He will also recuse himself from any Board action accepting or rejecting the LOI. It is also prudent that Supervisor Jensen refrain from any discussion of the issue.
After discussion, the Board would like to move forward with a Realtor. The Board wondered if the CID could legally allow Mr. Prepham to take action without going to the Realtor. Attorney Pires recommended that the LOI not be signed, because it could reflect poorly on the community's reputation if the proposed agreement with LandQWest is rejected.
The Board agreed to reject the LOI and move forward with a real estate agreement. It was also agreed that Mr. Prepham could go through the Realtor to submit a proposal.
On MOTION by Vice Chair O'Connell, seconded by Supervisor Leishear, with all in favor, with Supervisor Jensen abstaining, the Board agreed to reject the LOI, and proceed with a real estate agreement.
ii. LandQwest Listing Agreement
Attorney Pires submitted a redlined version of the listing agreement in the packet.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Supervisor Holloway, with all in favor, the Board accepted the agreement, as amended, allowing the Chair to sign the agreement after Attorney Pires updates the agreement.
The Board asked that there be a requirement that monthly reports be presented to the Board concerning the progress of selling the property.
iii. How to Proceed
See the previous discussion.
B. Rules Change Updates
Attorney Pires had submitted a redlined and clean version of the proposed rule changes, which was sent to the Board separate from the packet.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Suprvisor Holloway, with all in favor, the Board agreed to have a public hearing on January 21, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the rules changes.
C. New ERC Methodology Update
The O&M methodology is still being prepared, and Attorney Pires stated that it will not affect the rules changes. A public hearing will be held on this issue. The hearing could be in January, but the Board will wait to schedule it. A draft will be presented at the next meeting.
D. Online Meetings
i. Professional Audio Proposal
A proposal was presented by GammaTech, at the request of Supervisor Leishear, to ascertain what a professional audio system would cost. The proposal totaled $20,212.37. The Board discussed whether Orchid Cove would consider cost sharing. Jesse of GammaTech can present the proposal at the next meeting.
ii. Online Archive of Meeting Recordings
There is currently one year's archive on the Port of the Islands website, so no one needs to request a link to view previous meetings on the Go to Meetings site. However, this disappears after 12 months. Comparatively, the Zoom site has infinite storage capacity, but the cost is prohibitive. Zoom costs $20,000 per year. Another option is to use YouTube for permanent online storage of all meeting videos. The Board agreed to use YouTube for the archive of meeting videos.
FOURTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS New Business
A. Discussion on Sale of the Water and Wastewater Facilities to the County
The Board discussed the sale of the utility plant to the County. The Board agreed to request that Commissioner LoCastro ask the County utilities for a meeting to discuss the issue, on a preliminary basis only.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Supervisor Jensen, with three in favor, and Chair Kish and Vice Chair O'Connell opposed, the Board agreed to send a letter to Commissioner LoCastro, asking him to request a meeting with County utilities and zoning to discuss the sale of the utility plant on a preliminary basis.
FIFTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisor Requests and/or Comments
There were no Supervisor Requests and/or Comments.
SIXTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Audience Comments
Kathryn Kehlmeier stated that the stop sign on Newport Drive is hidden, and the "Stop" painted on the street is faded. Engineer Schmitt will look into it, and he suggested that another stop sign could be added. When asked if this is a DOT right of way, District Manager Teague stated that it is not.
Deborah Jansen on Sunrise Cay requested that there be a representation of residents when the Board is meeting with Commissioner LoCastro. She is in the process of requesting a meeting with him.
Chair Kish left the meeting at 1:37 p.m.
Deborah Jansen also stated that when the Board is looking at the CIP, she would like there to be more community input on prioritizing CIP issues, and that there be a reserve fund for each item. She offered to create a spreadsheet and disseminate it throughout the community. The Board commented that this information is on the website and is readily available. Her concern was that there are residents who would rather have their assessments increased, rather than have an RV park.
SEVENTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Adjournment
On MOTION by Supervisor Holloway, seconded by Vice Chair O'Connell, with all in favor, the the Board agreed at 1:50 p.m. to continue this meeting to December 3, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. to consider 10G and 12B.
The Continued Meeting is on December 3, 2021 at 9:30 a.m.
The Next Regular Meeting is on December 17, 2021 at 9:30 a.m.

Anthem was asked to develop a seamless, cross-media campaign to highlight the innovative technology and chef-like results of Panasonic's Inverter Microwave Ovens.
We translated this idea into print and digital ads, new powerful packaging, and created the Inverter microsite within us.panasonic.com.
We conducted focus groups to explore consumers' knowledge of microwave inner workings and to delve into language that clearly communicated the benefits of Inverter technology.
All of these contact points reinforce the idea that Inverter microwaves are cooking tools. Your microwave can be used confidently to prepare many culinary creations using cooking methods that cannot be duplicated with conventional microwaves.
The graphics enhanced the premium technological and style appeal of the Panasonic brand, while using compelling food-photography to convey excellent cooking results.

Q: How to output all endpoints exposed by Spring I'd like to have a way how to expose all endpoints that exposed by my Spring application. Is there a simple way to check, for each @profile which are exposed?
Example:
GET   /api/resource
GET   /api/resource/list
POST  /api/resource
PUT   /api/resource

In the past, I have used a web application made in Laravel, and they had a simple cli method for checking the exposed methods.

A: I assume based on how the questions is worded that you are not using Spring Boot, if you were, the actuator mappings endpoint does this for you, but your answer lies in how the mappings endpoint is build in actuator. There is a RequestMappingHandlerMapping object you leverage.

A: In this scenario you can use two approaches:

*

*Spring Boot Actuator feature. Your endpoints of application will be available at http://host/actuator/mappings

*Swagger library can also be used to list all endpoints of a REST API

A: The best solution is to use Spring boot actuator and hit the endpoint /actuator/mappings to get all the endpoints.
But if you can't use actuator or can't add it as dependency you can retrieve all the endpoints programmatically the mapping handlers, Spring get shipped with three implementations of this interface (HandlerMapping):

*

*RequestMappingHandlerMapping: which is responsible for endpoints that annotated with @RequestMapping and its variants @GetMapping, @PostMapping .. etc

*BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping: as the name suggest it will resolve the endpoint(URL) directly to a bean in the application context. for example if you hit the endpoint /resource it will look for a bean with the name /resource.

*RouterFunctionMapping: it will scan the application context for RouterFunction beans and dispatch the request to that function.
Anyways, to answer your question you can autowire the bean RequestMappingHandlerMapping and print out all the handler methods. Something similar to this:
@Autowired
RequestMappingHandlerMapping requestMappingHandlerMapping;

@PostConstruct
public void printEnpoints() {
    requestMappingHandlerMapping.getHandlerMethods().forEach((k,v) -> System.out.println(k + " : "+ v));
}

Q: mv folder1 folder2 and files dissapear Executed the line
mv Scenery myTakes

where both Scenery and myTakes are directories. While Scenery was renamed to myTakes, I was pleasantly surprised to find the new directory empty.
I'm wondering baffled what happened to those files and why this didn't work.
Thanks guys.

A: There are 2 ways mv handles
mv folder1 folder2

If folder2 does not exist, folder1's name is changed to folder2.
If folder2 exists (and is a directory (the Unix/Linux word for "folder" is "directory")),  folder1 keeps its name, and is moved into folder2, as folder2/folder1.
There is a known pitfall for newbies with mv. If one does
mv a b c

and c is a directory, a and b are renamed to c/a and c/b. This is good.
However, if c is a file, hilarity ensues:
File a is renamed c, the old c is lost, then b is also renamed to c and the former a is also lost.
Either "be careful" (ensure that the rightmost parameter to mv is a directory) or use the "--target-directory=" option to mv.
Read man mv.

This four-week course (+1 retreat day) will focus on the Buddhist Lojong (mind training) practices on finding strength in adversity. Lojong is a rich tradition of Buddhist practices that became popularized in Tibet through the notable Buddhist masters Atisha Dipamkara, Langri Tangpa, and Chekawa Yeshe Dorje. Lojong is also regularly taught by modern Buddhist teachers such as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and Pema Chodron.
The Lojong teachings primarily focus on how to transform obstacles and adversity into the path of awakening through recognizing that happiness and suffering depend on the mind. Rather than blaming our misfortune exclusively on external circumstances, we learn to develop flexibility within life's challenges. These teachings also further point towards our deep interconnection with all beings, serving in the development of a more open and compassionate heart towards ourself and others.
Through a combination of experiential learning and meditation, this series will explore how to truly cultivate a happy mind in all circumstances. Along with weekly teachings and discussions, each class will include suggested readings and practice recommendations. At the end of the four-week series we will take a deep dive with a daylong retreat. This is an opportunity to further integrate and internally develop the principles covered over the course of this series.

Home / Economy / The turning point that was 1991, in five charts
The turning point that was 1991, in five charts

4 min read . Updated: 12 Aug 2021, 01:23 AM IST howindialives.com
As India gears up for its 75th independence day, there is a lot to be proud of. India was already progressing on a number of fronts in the first few decades after independence but 1991 changed things in many ways.
Since its independence in 1947, India has made progress in every dimension. And yet, given the long arc of change for developing nations, it remains a work in progress. 1947 was a seminal moment in the country's history. 1991 was another. The forces of change unleashed by the opening of the economy left their imprint deep and wide. As we see below, these forces served to change the course of some dimensions. In other dimensions, they lifted the trajectories of progress in a significant way.
Even before independence, India's gender balance had been worsening. The sex ratio—females per 1,000 male population—had declined from 972 in 1901 to 945 in 1941, according to government data. Post-independence, the decline continued. The census of 1991 registered a dismal sex ratio of 926, which poorly concealed the practices of killing baby girls and aborting female foetuses. Only Kerala had a sex ratio above 1,000. At the other extreme was a state like Bihar, whose sex ratio had regressed from 1,000 in 1951 to 907 in 1991.
The opening of the economy in 1991 saw more women enter schools, colleges, and shop-floors. In 1994, India passed a law that banned prenatal sex determination, though its implementation has been inconsistent. Meanwhile, India's sex ratio has gradually improved, to a projected 948 in 2021. Further, only four states have seen their sex ratio fall between 1991 and 2011: Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Return to Private
'Gross capital formation' is a measure of creation of assets that lead to future growth. Generally, the higher the capital formation in an economy, the greater its growth. In 1950-51, the private sector was leading capital formation in India, outnumbering the public sector by a multiple of about 3. That soon changed. India needed big additions to its basic infrastructure—roads, power plants, agriculture, train tracks, schools, hospitals, etc. It put the public sector in the centre of this building. By 1958-59, the public sector began to match the private sector in capital formation. That continued as India nationalized several sectors, including banks, insurance and mining. Post 1991, the order flipped again. As India loosened controls on sector after sector, private enterprise came into its own. Since then, capital formation by the private sector has always outstripped that by the public sector, generally by 2-4 times.
Plugging In
Liberalisation increased private presence in all spheres. It also created economic imperatives and raised consumer expectations. A fundamental area where this was seen was in electricity demand and supply. In urban areas, long power cuts were routine. In rural India, about 470,000 of 634,000 villages were declared to be electrified in 1990. But this definition was about bringing electricity to a village, not regular supply.
A measure of the amount of supply to households is the per capita availability of electricity for domestic use. This has risen 6-fold since 1991 and is at its highest levels now. Reforms initiated in the latter half of the 1990s have shaped this. These covered strengthening the financial position of state-owned power distribution companies, reducing transmission and distribution losses, adding more capacity, and selective privatisation. This sweep has even touched rural areas. The government declared all villages to be electrified in 2018. Supply, though far from complete, is increasing.
Highways to Growth
In the 10 years after 1990-91, India added twice the length of national highways as it did in the preceding 40 years. It was during this decade that the trickle down benefits of good roads were first sought to be harnessed in a big way. A prominent piece of India's national highway drive, the Golden Quadrilateral, was conceived in 1999 and launched in 2001. This project connected the four main cities located on four corners of India, and a host of others en route, through 4-6 lane highways spanning 5,800 km in length.
That underlying philosophy of highways as an economic multiplier has continued. The pace of addition in national highways has been maintained since. More highways boosted goods movement via road. The number of goods vehicles have increased from 1.3 million in 1991 to 13.7 million in 2017-18. And the total number of registered vehicles has increased 14-fold after liberalization.
Sporting Success
Basking in its new found freedom, India hosted the first Asian Games in 1951. It was a small affair, featuring 11 countries and 12 sports (the 2018 edition had 45 countries and 40 sports). India finished second in the medals tally. As the Games became more popular, India's rank slipped, barring 1982, when it played host for the second time. The bottom came in 1990, when India finished 11th, with 23 medals across 10 sports.
India has risen from the lows of the 1990s. This is a period that saw cable TV come to India and fuel the rise of cricket. In time and with much effort, greater finances, private interest, better infrastructure trickled down to other sports. At the Asian Games, India has graduated from a band of 20-40 medals to 50-70 medals. There is also greater sporting diversification in India's medals portfolio. In the 2018 Games, India scooped its biggest haul of 70 medals, spread across 18 sports. Still, many gains remain to be made.

Rumor: Star Wars spin off featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi in development?
Gavin for Star WarsScified2017-08-19 04:15:202017-08-19 04:15:20https://www.scified.com/articles/rumor-star-wars-spin-off-featuring-obi-wan-kenobi-development-24.jpg

According to THR, the British director of Billy Elliot and The Hours, Stephen Daldry is in talks with Lucasfilm to direct the eagerly awaited Star Wars Story movie focusing on Obi-Wan Kenobi. British actor Ewan McGregor, who portrayed the character in the Star Wars prequel trilogy had previously met with Lucasfilm, possibly about the role of which he is keen to reprise, but was unable (likely contractually prohibited, aka non-disclosure agreement) to elaborate on the topic of discussion at said meeting (see video below).
Together these two snippets of news suggest that Lucasfilm may indeed be developing an Obi Wan movie, with McGregor attached to star, and likely to feature Luke Skywalker as a child in a supporting role.
The above video confirms McGregor's involvement in the project (at least in principle), while Lucasfilm's meeting with Daldry, a director whom frequently works with children, suggests a sizeable role for a child actor. Unfortunately, THR's article that broke the news does not follow an official announcement from Lucasfilm, but instead cites unnamed sources, of which also claim that no script has been written and that no cast is attached. Thus Daldry's attachment to the project cannot be confirmed.
Because this news has not come directly from Lucasfilm, but instead from unnamed sources we see this as an indication rather than confirmation as to what may be happening behind the scenes for the hotly anticipated Obi-Wan movie. We suspect this news was likely sourced from Daldry's representative CAA.
One reason we are being cautious with this news is that the article that broke it also claims that Lucasfilm is considering movies featuring Yoda and Boba Fett. Star Wars fans will know that a Yoda movie has not yet been confirmed and that the Boba Fett movie is looking likely to become a movie about bounty hunters in general after Lucasfilm had to put the Boba Fett movie on indefinite hold following Josh Trank's dramatic split from the recent Fantastic Four movie which saw the director removed from the project. Another reason we are being cautious about this news is best shown from the following quote from the article...
"In the original Star Wars trilogy, Kenobi is a desert-dwelling and war-weary hermit who later proves to be a wise and powerful warrior, brandishing a lightsaber. He is briefly a mentor to a young Luke Skywalker before being cut down by Darth Vader, his former pupil. Alec Guinness' portrayal of Kenobi garnered him an Oscar nomination."
Even the casual Star Wars fan knows that Obi-Wan Kenobi was a Jedi Knight and Master (and former General) whose student was Anakin Skywalker, not Darth Vader. This quote reads like it was written by someone who has only seen the first movie, with the article as a whole reading like someone who hasn't been following the news on this movie.
So until this is confirmed by Lucasfilm, consider this as little more than rumor.

Making a movie about someone who was a key part in 4 of the 7 episode movies and we know pretty much from start to finish. Shine on Disney.
Maybe in 10 years after they scrape the barrel with OT characters we can finally branch out and see something new.
Granted if this is true Obi Wan in the most interesting character they are choosing to do a stand alone, but we see him in all his interesting moments don't really care about what he did on Tatooine for 19 years.

Saving Truth: Finding Meaning and Clarity in a Post-Truth World
Abdu Murray
Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. Conversely, those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant.
This cultural phenomenon led the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary to name "post-truth" their word of the year in 2016. How can Christians offer truth and clarity to a world that shuns both?
By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the Culture of Confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks.
Ultimately, Saving Truth provides arguments from a Christian perspective for the foundations of truth and how those foundations apply to sexuality, identity, morality, and spirituality. For those enmeshed in the culture of confusion, the book offers a way to untangle oneself and find hope in the clarity that Christ offers.

Every Piece of Me: Shattering Toxic Beliefs and Discovering the Real You
Jerusha Clark
Throughout Scripture, God reveals himself as the great I Am. He does not define himself with reference to any thing, person, or trait. He is, and that is enough. Women find themselves in a far different situation. When we introduce ourselves, we typically describe ourselves in terms of our relationships (the wife, mother, daughter, sister, or friend of someone else) or in terms of our accomplishments (our title, position, education, or accolades). When our identity is wrapped up in these external things, we inevitably (and exhaustingly ) strive to prove ourselves worthy of love, attention, or affirmation.
God never meant for us to focus on whether we are "enough," whether we measure up. He made us--every piece of us--to be just as he is.
Jerusha Clark discovered this while exploring Jesus's seven powerful "I am" statements recorded in the Gospel of John. She invites women to join her in embracing the life and truth of these words, relishing the freedom of an identity fixed on Christ alone while leaving behind fear, bitterness, busyness, and toxic thoughts that steal our joy and limit our power.

Alliance Blue Cross and Blue Shield is buying Cragin American Insurance Co. from LaSalle Bank. The purchase will give the St. Louis-based Blues plan access to 1 million potential managed-care customers in southern Illinois.
Cragin is based in Chicago and is chartered to underwrite health and life insurance. Alliance is the for-profit subsidiary of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Missouri.
Alliance already acquired a significant provider network in Illinois when it bought HealthLink last year. The HealthLink HMO was partially owned by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Mo.), but Alliance recently has received permission to buy out the Kansas City portion.
Illinois regulators must approve the Cragin purchase. Alliance hopes to have a PPO product on the market by early 1997.
"Geographic expansion into southern Illinois, a market underpenetrated by managed care, is a move we established as a priority," said Frederic C. Brussee, Alliance president and chief operating officer.


Over the past few weeks, we've been discussing science-backed strategies proven to enhance the quality of communication among family members in business together.
But in order for these strategies to be effective, they must be formally implemented—which is why we conclude our discussion of constructive communication with a final strategy: establishing a written communication policy that includes the foregoing strategies.
Families might benefit from establishing a formal communication policy that not only establishes regularly scheduled, face to face meetings, with ground rules to help insure attention, such as "no cell phones," but also that incorporate the foregoing findings from Appreciative Inquiry (AI), as well as insights about positivity ratios, non-verbal communication, and other communication data.
We also emphasize that positive psychology is NOT about ignoring real issues (although, in practice, there might seem to be less of them as increased attention is given to "possibility seeking" and away from "problem solving"). For example, new studies are demonstrating that facing problems head-on, while remaining solution-oriented, increases a sense that one's behavior matters and improves employee productivity.
Next week, we'll take a look at "fit" when it comes to employing children in family businesses.

The DriveArchive survey is just for fun, a chance to quickly have your say on some motoring related topics.
Please note that (even if you are logged on) your opinions here will be totally anonymous.
On my commute there is a stretch of road up a hill, maybe half a mile long. The local council spent weeks and weeks working on this stretch, causing much disruption, to create a wider path to one side, which is designated now as a path and cycle path. Despite this, people on push bikes (often MAMILs) struggle up this hill NOT using the path but on the road, causing rush hour traffic to often grind to a halt and go at their pace, as the road is quite narrow.
Should there be some form of censure for cyclists who don't use a cycle path when one is provided. Should they be, say, fined? Or perhaps shot?
Should there be a ban on motorhomes and caravans driving during daylight hours? They can do what they want at night; just not get in the way during the day.
Near me there is a roundabout, a normal 4 exit roundabout, but in fact nearly everyone coming in one direction turns left - i.e. takes the first exit. Probably because this is the 'natural' flow of the road there is very little indicating going on. This is infuriating when you're going the other way, and are waiting to get on the roundabout to turn right... you sit there waiting to go, but because hardly anyone bloody indicates you sit there like a lemon.
Should roundabouts all be kitted out with cameras (everywhere else is) and people who don't indicate brought to book?
There has been a spate of roadworks near me recently that have all followed a similar pattern. A hole appears, and is fenced off, and surrounded by traffic lights. No humans are then visible. The site is left unattended for days. Suddenly men appear, seemingly just fill in the whole - and the entire thing disappears in a matter of hours. So, I propose that if during working hours we as motorists see an unattended set of roadworks, we can photograph it and claim 5 quid from the local council. This, I feel, would encourage them to dig the hole and do the job all in one go, thus saving hundreds of man hours of queueing at traffic lights for the rest of us.
Should there always be someone in attendance at roadworks, and some sort of refund available if not.


In John 15 Jesus says, 'Make your home in me, as I make mine in you.' This is an invitation to intimacy. He adds, 'Those who remain in me, with me in them, bear fruit in plenty.' This is a call to fecundity. Finally he says, 'I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.' This is a promise of ecstasy.
Henri Nouwen's In the House of the Lord relates the themes of intimacy, fecundity and ecstasy to the movement from the 'house of fear', where most of us live most of the time, to the 'house of love', which is the home of God. Henri Nouwen explores each theme in relation to the fear which thwarts it and the love which fosters it and examines the implications of the themes for Christians today.

The Fulbright Foreign Student Program from the the United States Embassy in Dar es Salaam .The Public Affairs Section of the United States Embassy in Dar es Salaam is seeking qualified candidates for the Fulbright Foreign Student Program. Online applications are now available. The deadline for submitting applications will be no later than March 31, 2022. Only successful candidates will be contacted, and interviews will be scheduled for April 2022.
*** Application Cycle 2023 – 2024 Now Open ***
The Public Affairs Section of the United States Embassy in Dar es Salaam is seeking qualified candidates for the Fulbright Foreign Student Program. Online applications are now available. The deadline for submitting applications will be no later than March 31, 2022. Only successful candidates will be contacted, and interviews will be scheduled for April 2022.
Applications can be accessed at https://apply.iie.org/ffsp2023 The submission deadline for applications is March 31, 2022. For more information, please email drs_exchanges@state.gov.
The Fulbright Foreign Student Program is open to any qualified candidate but strongly encourages the inclusion of female candidates and prefers candidates who have not had extensive recent experience in the United States. Recent (within three years) recipients of Fulbright grants are not eligible to apply, and it should be emphasized that funding is for a maximum period of two years only. It is important to note that doctoral degree candidates will typically need to secure additional funding to complete their course of study and we now prioritize the selection of Fulbright Master's candidates over Ph.D. candidates.
U.S. Embassy encourages candidates with disabilities to apply as special accommodations are available. The U.S. Government has provided previous grantees with a screen reader and note taking software, laptops, cell phones, canes, and/or wheelchairs to assist them while on their grant in the U.S.
Applicants must be citizens of Tanzania or permanent residents qualified to hold a valid passport issued by Tanzania.
Applicants must have a record of outstanding academic achievement and preparation in their chosen field of study. They must show high motivation and serious commitment to completing the program and to returning home.
Applicant must have at least the equivalent of four (4) years of university study or the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree. Candidates that have three (3) years of tertiary study should have the equivalent of thirteen (13) years of primary and secondary school and their undergraduate degree should allow them to be eligible to pursue higher education in Tanzanian universities.
Applicants who wish to pursue study in a field other than their current field of study must demonstrate adequate background in that field.
Applicant must meet the minimum scores on required standardized tests.
Applicants must be affiliated with or committed to working at an academic institution or public or private institutions in Tanzania upon return and should have the endorsement of their home institution.
Applicants should have a high motivation and a serious commitment to completing the program as scheduled and to returning home.
Applicants with no extensive or recent U.S. experience will be given preference.
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree obtained before March 31, 2020, as well as at least two years professional experience relevant to their prospective field of study.
Applicants must have a sufficiently high level of English proficiency to enable them to complete a full-time program of graduate study in the United States.
No applicant may receive more than one Fulbright Student grant, including Humphrey Scholar alumni. This does not apply to the Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program alumni.
Employees staff (LES) employed by the State Department/United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are ineligible for grants during the period of their employment and for one year following the termination of employment.
In Tanzania, the Fulbright Foreign Student Program is administered by the U.S. Embassy's Public Affairs Section, which nominates candidates to the Fulbright Scholarship Board in Washington, DC. The Fulbright Scholarship Board makes the final selection of candidates. For the Embassy to complete the nomination process before the deadline date for submission, we urge aspiring candidates to submit their online applications by March 31, 2022. Applications received after this date will not be considered.
Fulbright funding is for a maximum of TWO years of funding in a master's degree or doctoral program. Students accepted to degree programs less than two years are eligible to only receive funding through the designated period of degree completion – as stipulated by the host institution. Master's applicants are given placement priority.

Home WMNF News Local Government Tampa Council members want consultant to study TBX
Tampa Council members want consultant to study TBX
April 14, 2016 by Seán Kinane and filed under Local Government, Mass Transit, News and Public Affairs, Transportation.
Some members of Tampa City Council are so enraged at a proposed interstate highway expansion that would cut through neighborhoods that they want to hire a consultant to analyze its impacts. Council members met Thursday morning as the CRA Board – Community Redevelopment Agency – and got an update on the proposed Tampa Bay Express from the Florida Department of Transportation. Council member Frank Reddick interrupted the FDOT presentation about how residents are compensated when they give up their homes to make way for the project nicknamed TBX.
Listen to the full story here:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/wmnf/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TampaTBXFull.mp3
"To stand here and put so much emphasis on: 'They're going to get money; somebody might get $30,000, somebody might get this, somebody might get that.' That's not important. What's important is that you're dividing families. What's important is you're taking away businesses, who have been establishing those communities for years. And you're taking that away.
"And I can understand about the urban planning, the urban development, and you can say all those things. But you've got to think about the personal sacrifice these families are making and these businesses have to make.
"And I hope DOT will give consideration, because it bothered me to hear that they'll displace a lot of people just to put a baseball team in place. Now you want to displace a lot of people just to put toll lanes in. And what I hear is it's not going to reduce traffic."
The FDOT's senior right-of-way agent, Zenia Gallo, told Council members there are still 140 families and 33 businesses that would need to be relocated and compensated if TBX goes through. It calls for widening interstates and adding express toll lanes. The most controversial section affects neighborhoods in downtown, Ybor City and Tampa Heights.
City Council member Yvonne Yolie Capin agrees with her colleagues on the need for a consultant to see whether TBX should be slowed down or stopped.
"If the study shows – the consultant we plan on hiring shows – that we need to, we will make the most effort we can to do that."
Video: Tampa residents speak out against TBX
Near the end of the meeting eight residents spoke out against the TBX project, though many others had already left. Building contractor Chris Koury accused FDOT of 'abuse' and 'decimating' 12th Avenue for pressuring so many people like him to sell them their properties.
"It's abandoned now and the code enforcement folks park on the grass. That's what their using the property for. I've subsequently taken this house, because I was the last bidder on the house, and moved it to 11th Avenue, 600 feet away. It cost me about $92,000 just to move it, then there was land costs. But, it's sitting very prominently, in that national historical landmark district. It will represent us all well, and eventually I will sell it. Probably lose a little bit of money on that.
"But, you guys, please understand the abuse that is coming out of FDOT. They buy in excess, way ahead of time and it's time we all put a stop to it. It's just ridiculous."
On June 22 the Hillsborough Metropolitan Planning Organization, or MPO, will vote on whether to move forward with spending more than $20 million in the state budget to acquire properties needed for TBX right-of-way. City Council members favor putting on the brakes because there are two other transportation issues being considered at the same time as TBX: GoHillsborough and a "premium transit" study by HART. So on May 12, the City Council sitting as the CRA will ask the boards from downtown, Tampa Heights and part of Ybor City to fund a consultant to study whether TBX makes sense within a proposed long-term plan for Tampa Heights.

September 26, 2020 by Luce
It took me several days to find the time to pay a visit to Mr Hale. The new machines I ordered from Leeds had finally arrived so I had to supervise their installation in the mill's main shed. But then, on a windy morning mid-September, I finally went to Crampton to seek out my new teacher.
The house was located at the corner of Canute Street and a narrow alley, which gave the impression it was at the bottom of a dead end. The street was, however, very lively, with people praising their wares, and lots of small children playing. I jumped up the few stairs and knocked on the front door.
A very stout maid with a forbidding expression on her round face opened the door yet made no show of letting me step inside. I produced my card. "Good day to you. Mr Thornton wishes to speak to Mr Hale." I deliberately kept my voice jovial.
The maid took it, glanced at it, and then stepped aside to show me to a parlour on the right. She ostentatiously closed the door behind me, so I went to stand before one of the small windows, where I had a view of the busy street below.
While I was waiting, I could hear the house creak above my head, as if the maid was going from room to room to search for her master. I glanced around the somewhat shabby room. It was small with only two windows and one door, through which I had entered. A large book case occupied one wall, a small fireplace another. In the centre stood a table large enough to dwarf the room even more. The whole surface of the table was laden with books. Books were everywhere, I realised. They were stacked on the floor near the walls, they covered the mantelpiece and every chair, and even the window sills.
I was bewildered and wondered why on earth an ex-parson would want to have that many books. Then my thoughts were interrupted when the door opened to let Mr Hale in. He was a tall man, sturdily built though not rotund. He had curly hair of a non-descript brown, which had begun receding from his forehead, and a pair of friendly, grey eyes. He wore his whiskers so long that they almost brushed the sides of his mouth. A style from some thirty years before, one my own father had also favoured.
"Mr Thornton?" he boomed in a voice he must have used in his church sermons during his days as a parson. "Welcome, sir! My friend Bell told me a lot about you, and I am very pleased to meet you!"
I struggled to keep a congenial countenance, as I felt anger at Mr Bell, all of a sudden. What had he been divulging of my affairs to this virtual stranger? Mr Bell was good with words, I knew that all too well. I inwardly shuddered guessing at what secrets of mine he would have revealed.
"Good day to you, sir," I said, extending my hand. Mr Hale glanced at it in mild surprise but eventually took it and shook it firmly.
"Mr Hale," I continued, reassured by his handshake, "I have a fervent wish to broaden my education through reading and discussing literature. My time is limited, though. You might know I am a cotton manufacturer, and the running of my mill claims most of my day. However, I might find some hours during the evening to devote myself to studying."
"Splendid! Splendid!" Mr Hale exclaimed. Then he slapped me on the back and said, "Sit down, my good man, sit down!" With swift movements, he cleared two chairs and dragged them to the table. We sat but after two seconds, Mr Hale jumped up and strode towards the book case, where he began rummaging through the books.
I was once again bewildered. He was completely different from what I had come to think of a teacher, with only my limited school days as a reference. Soon, however, Mr Hale returned to the table with two, rather shabby books. Both leather covers were dusty, I noticed.
"Now then, John … I hope I can call you by your first name? I call all my students by their first names, you know."
I had barely time to nod when he continued," Now then, John, you must tell me what you have previously had in the way of education.I understand – from Mr Bell, of course – that you have not finished your grammar school?"
"No, indeed not, sir. At sixteen, I was forced to work, but I went to Lancaster Grammar School here in Milton until then."
"Ah, so you had Latin and Greek?"
"Yes, sir, although my knowledge is very basic."
"No matter, no matter," Mr Hale replied, folding his hands while placing his elbows on the table. "We will soon pick up where you left. Now, in my opinion, it is best we start with either Plato or Aristotle. Which of the two do you prefer, John?"
Again he caught me completely off guard, or was it the sound of the front door opening that disturbed my thought, I do not know. Mr Hale, however, had not heard. He pressed me on, "We have to make a choice, John. Now it's difficult, I know."
Suddenly, his gaze darted to the half open door and he exclaimed, "Margaret, is that you?"
It was enough to make me jump to my feet in some sort of panic. Of course, you fool, I scolded myself, could you not have guessed you would meet her again? I hastily went to stand before the window, my back to the door, conscious that my torment was back again. I was suddenly anxious that it should show on my face.
"Margaret, is that you? Well, Margaret! Come in, Margaret. Come in. Meet my new friend and, erm, first proper pupil. Mr. Thornton, this is my daughter, Margaret."
I took a deep breath and turned. There she was, the bane of my life, and as I suddenly realized, the delight of my heart. Her hair, a deep dark brown, was dishevelled because she had just removed her hat, but it was so becoming that I longed to touch it and straighten the tumbled locks. In her lovely, heart-shaped face, her eyes, which I now noticed for the first time, were a deep blue, her nose tiny and pert, and her mouth lush and deeply red. The sight of her made my stomach summersault, and I had to fight hard to keep my own countenance undisturbed. When I finally spoke, I was glad to hear that my voice was steady. "I believe your daughter and I have already met."
"Ah … " Mr Hale said, oblivious to the tension between me and his daughter, "now, Mr. Thornton cannot decide between Aristotle and Plato. I suggest we start with Plato, and then move on. What do you think?"
I gave him a swift but stunned glance, confused as I was because of his lack of comprehension, and forged on. "I'm afraid Miss Hale and I met under less than pleasant circumstances. I had to dismiss a worker for smoking in the weaving shed."
Miss Hale all but burst out in speech. "I saw you beat a defenceless man who is not your equal!"
The raw aggression in her words finally sunk in with her father. He exclaimed in shock, "Margaret!"
I could not help coming to her defence. "No, she's right." And after a pause to regain my composure, I managed. "I was angry. I have a temper. Fire is the greatest danger in my mill. I have to be strict."
If I had hoped to win her over by explaining my perfectly sane reasons, I was totally wrong. She turned away in disgust, saying, "A gentleman would not use his fists on such a … pathetic creature, or shout at children."
I must have heard wrongly, I thought. A gentleman? What had that to do with what was been said about my mill? Devil take it, but she was taunting me to no end!
My voice raised, I nearly shouted. "I dare say a gentleman has not had to see three-hundred corpses laid out on a Yorkshire hillside as I did last May. And many of them were children. And that was an accidental flame. The whole mill destroyed in 20 minutes."
All she did was glancing sideways at me. Nothing of what I had said, touched her, I could see.
I sighed. "I should go," I said to Mr Hale, and we shook hands. "You'll join us for dinner next week?"
"Oh, yes, of course," he replied. "Erm … thank you. Erm …we'll start with Plato next Tuesday."
Just then, I recalled something my mother had said when I left the house. Something about her wanting to get acquainted with Mr Hale's wife. "I will ask my mother to call … when you're settled," I quickly said, giving Miss Hale a parting look. I very well knew I must be frowning. She was so … well, headstrong and opinionated!
"Of course, erm … ," Mr Hale ventured. "Now by all means. We're always here. Aren't we, Margaret?"
Miss Hale looked positively sullen and refused to answer as I took my leave.

Home Science Is it time to restore Pluto's status as a planet?
Is it time to restore Pluto's status as a planet?
No matter what anyone says, Pluto is a planet, according to Kirby Runyon.
Europa, commonly known as a moon of Jupiter, is, too. So are the Earth's moon and more than 100 other celestial bodies in our solar system denied this status under the prevailing definition of "planet."
The International Astronomical Union's 2006 definition demoted Pluto, dropping the consensus number of planets in our solar system from nine to eight.
Pluto "has everything going on on its surface that you associate with a planet. …There's nothing non-planet about it."
That change—a subject of much debate at the time and since—makes no sense, says Runyon, lead author of a short paper that makes the pro-Pluto argument.
Icy, rocky Pluto had been the smallest of the nine planets, its diameter under three-quarters that of the moon and nearly a fifth of Earth. Still, Pluto "has everything going on on its surface that you associate with a planet. …There's nothing non-planet about it," says, Runyon, who is finishing his PhD this spring at Johns Hopkins University.
Runyon, whose Earth and planetary science dissertation focuses on changing landscapes on the moon and Mars, led authors from five institutions in drafting a proposed new definition of "planet" and a justification for that definition. Both will be presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
All the authors were scientists on the New Horizons mission to Pluto, which the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory operated for NASA. In 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft became the first to fly by Pluto, some 4.67 billion miles from Earth, passing within 8,000 miles and sending back the first close-up images ever made of Pluto.
The researchers argue for a definition of "planet" that focuses on the intrinsic qualities of the body itself, rather than external factors such as its orbit or other objects around it. They define a planet as "a sub-stellar mass body that has never undergone nuclear fusion" and that has enough gravitational heft to maintain a roughly round shape—even if it bulges at the equator because of a three-way squeeze of forces created by its own gravity and the influence of both a star and a nearby larger planet.
This definition differs from the three-element IAU definition in that it makes no reference to the celestial body's surroundings. That portion of IAU's 2006 formula—which required that a planet and its satellites move alone through their orbit—excluded Pluto. Otherwise, Pluto fit the IAU definition: It orbits the sun and it is massive enough that the forces of gravity have made it round.
Coauthor Alan Stern, the principal investigator for the New Horizons mission, has argued in the past that the IAU definition also excludes Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune, which share their orbits with asteroids.
The proposed new geophysical definition omits stars, black holes, asteroids, and meteorites, but includes much of everything else in our solar system. It would expand the number of planets from eight to approximately 110.
That expansion is part of the appeal of the new definition, Runyon says. He would like to see the public more engaged in solar system exploration. As the very word "planet" seems to carry a "psychological weight," he figures that more planets could encourage that public interest.
"I want the public to fall in love with planetary exploration as I have," Runyon says. "It drives home the point of continued exploration."
The new definition, which willing researchers can adopt without approval from a central governing body, is also more useful to planetary scientists, Runyon says. Most are closely affiliated with geology and other geosciences, thus making the new geophysical definition more useful than the IAU's astronomical definition.
The Planetary Science Research Discoveries, an educational website founded by scientists at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, has already adopted the new definition.
