Q: Django admin - How to calculate a field value depending on other model field values I have this scenario:
A Service repair that might include repair/installation of multiple spare Parts in a machine. For every spare part involved in the service repair, the technician can select its state (new, used, refurbished). In a separate table called PartCostRate, I map a cost percentage for a state:
models.py
class Part(models.Model):
    item_code = models.CharField(max_length=255, primary_key=True)
    name = models.CharField('Part Name', max_length=128)
    exw_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=12, decimal_places=6)

class PartCostRate(models.Model):
    PART_STATES = (
        ('N', 'New'),
        ('U', 'Used'),
        ('R', 'Refurbished'),
    )
    state = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=Part_STATES)
    rate = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2)

class Service(models.Model):
    service_code = models.CharField(max_length=10)

    parts = models.ManyToManyField(Part, through='ServicePart')

class ServicePart(models.Model):
    PART_STATES = (
        ('N', 'New'),
        ('U', 'Used'),
        ('R', 'Refurbished'),
    )
    service = models.ForeignKey(Service)
    part = models.ForeignKey(Part)
    state = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=PART_STATE)
    quantity = models.IntegerField()
    cost = models.DecimalField(max_digits=12, decimal_places=6)

admin.py
class ServicePartInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = ServicePart
    extra = 1
    verbose_name = 'Repaired / Installed Part'

class ServiceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
   inlines = [ServicePartInline,]

From the admin interface, how can I calculate the cost of the part (from the inline of serviceadmin) depending on the selected state and quantity. For a select of Used, I need to query the PartCostRate model to check what is the rate of Used and then check the exw_price of that part and then do the calculation without forgetting the quantity.
I am not sure how to do that from the admin. Does it require javascript in order to interactivley show the calculated cost in its field. Because sometimes they might change it manually.
Thanks in advance

A: There are two ways to do it
1) Javascript like you say. Look at this link. You'll see how to hook your own script files into django admin
2) Create your own modelform, extend your ServiceAdmin setting form value (check this out) form and update the values in form at form save.


This is an easy-peasy one-pot meal you can cook over the campfire or on the stove – it'll keep everyone warm and toasty from the inside out.
I developed this recipe especially for camping – a time when one-pot meals are of particularly high value! It's easy, economical, quicker than a lot of lamb soups and a family favourite.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot on the camping stove on a high heat. Season lamb with salt and brown for about 5 minutes until evenly coloured (you may need to reduce the heat depending on the thickness of your camping pot).
Reduce heat to medium, add onion and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes until onion is soft. Add tomatoes and stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes until starting to reduce.
Add green beans, canned beans and carrots and cook for about 8 minutes until veges are tender and soup has thickened. Remove from heat and stir through chopped spinach, if using. Serve with buttered bread rolls.


Christian Counseling: What Effect Does Video Game Violence Have On Aggression?
While the psychological community has been claiming a significant research connection between aggression and video game playing and media violence, the Supreme Court (2011 - Brown vs. entertainment Merchants Association) criticized the research studies linking video game playing with increased aggression as flawed and "unpersuasive." The Court also concluded the unconstitutionality of the government regulating sales to minors and affirmed that games have full free speech rights.
How did the respected psychological community get it wrong? Apparently, researchers and dispensers of psychological information ignored contradictory research evidence and exaggerated findings. I have always been greatly disappointed with some in my profession who fudge and mismanage research findings and more with publishers of research. Typically, research studies that fail to show any statistical significance or fail to confirm research hypotheses are too infrequently published. Yet we, as a community, are bound to follow not only legal requirements but our own self-developed ethical standards. We pledge to promote the truth and practice above reproach. Perhaps this lesson will serve to ensure living out the ethics proclaimed to be held.
Whether or not researchers will conclude from future evidence a connection between violence in media and games with increased aggressive behavior or attitudes is unknown. In the meantime, adults should self-monitor and parents need to observe their children or teens who use violent games or view media violence to determine if there are any changes in attitudes, speech and other behaviors. In the end, the research question about increased aggression for viewers of violence must be asked of each individual child, teen, and adult, regardless of research study outcomes, which can only apply to the general population.

As mentioned previously, the active component in a vaccine is the 'antigen'. This can be in the form of weakened (attenuated live vaccine) or inactivated microbes, parts of microbes, or modified microbial toxins (toxoid vaccine). Vaccines are made up not only of the antigen, but also multiple excipients that improve the effectiveness of vaccines and provide a longer expiry date. The following Figure shows a summary of the multiple vaccine components.
Examples of attenuated live vaccines that are available in the market include the tuberculosis (BCG) vaccine and oral polio vaccine. The attenuated microbes present in the vaccines are unable to reproduce to the quantities required to cause disease. This relatively small amount of attenuated microbes however, is sufficient to trigger our bodies to produce antibodies that give our bodies the 'memory' to prevent future infection.
Meanwhile, inactivated vaccines contain microbes killed using formaldehyde. These microbes are unable to reproduce once introduced to the human body but are still able to stimulate the body to produce immunity, albeit through multiple doses.
The hepatitis B and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines on the other hand, are made up only of the immune response-inducing segment of microbes without the rest of the illness-causing portions. The hepatitis B vaccine for example, contains the protein coat on the hepatitis B virus surface. Toxoid vaccines such as the diphtheria vaccine do not contain the bacteria itself but a toxoid modified through inactivation of the diphtheria exotoxin. Actual bacterial toxins cause illnesses but the inactivated toxoids do not result in illnesses, yet they afford immunity to future toxin exposure.
These are examples of the active ingredients of vaccines. However, in recent years many people have been expressing concern about the other ingredients in vaccines and their safety. Let's have a look at these other possible ingredients, which include adjuvants, stabilizers, and preservatives, as well as trace components such as antibiotics and inactivating agents.
Adjuvants are added to enhance the body's immune response towards the antigen. Examples of common adjuvants include aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate. Despite some concerns regarding the side effects of aluminum, studies have shown that the exposure to aluminum through vaccination is much lesser than the amount consumed from food and water!
As most vaccines are produced through freeze-drying of multi-component mixtures, there is a risk of destabilization of the vaccine. Thus, stabilizers are primarily used to prevent separation of the vaccine components. The common stabilizers used are human serum albumin, gelatin, lactose, sucrose and amino acids. Human serum albumin is a natural blood component while the latter examples are commonly found in our daily diet.
In order to ensure the absence of microbial growth, preservatives are usually added –in a way similar to how preservatives are added to processed food such as jams. Examples of preservatives in vaccine include thiomersal, phenol and phenoxyethanol. Thiomersal has been safely used as a vaccine preservative for over 80 years, phenol is commonly found in mouthwash and lozenges while phenoxyethanol is commonly found in cosmetic products. In fact, most single-dose vaccines no longer contain preservatives.
Vaccines may also contain minute (sometimes undetectable) quantities of substances remaining from the manufacturing process known as 'trace components'. These could be anything ranging from antibiotics, inactivating agents, cell culture fluid, egg proteins to yeast.
Antibiotics are added into vaccines during manufacturing to prevent microbial contamination but are mostly removed in subsequent purification. While there may be traces of these antibiotics left, it is usually in very small 'micro-gram' quantities that are mostly undetectable in the final vaccine. Furthermore, antibiotics known to cause allergies in selected individuals, such as penicillin and cephalosporin are not used in vaccine manufacture.
Small amounts of inactivating agents such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, on the other hand, are incorporated during the manufacturing of inactivated and toxoid vaccines. As a matter of fact, the amount of formaldehyde present naturally in the body of a newborn is more than 50 times higher than that received from a dose of vaccine.
Contrary to the growing misconception about vaccine safety, most of the excipients in vaccines can in fact be found in our day to day household products. Furthermore, numerous studies have shown that concerns linking vaccination to autism and other chronic illnesses are largely unfounded. Do not hesitate to clarify any of your doubts regarding vaccination with your healthcare providers and together, we can improve immunization rates through proper understanding!

The surf reef off Boscombe was broken this year by a boat propeller and is currently being repaired. While surfers have been out catching waves regardless of whether Bournemouths artificial surf reef is working or not, for me it was a prompt to think about other things you can do in the water with boards. Kite surfing looks wild and exciting, the perfect sport for thrill seekers. However having once managed to break my arm falling of a stationary swing I am avoiding kite surfing. The combining of wind and waves with a board, kite and strings seems like tempting fate for me.
A more peaceful and less perilous way of enjoying the water is stand up paddle boarding, also known as SUP. It is exactly as its name describes you stand on a board while using a paddle. And if you can keep your balance, you can do it without getting wet. Its a pleasant leisurely way to travel and you can cover a lot of ground on a SUP. I have some friends who quite often go from the Poole side of Bournemouth to Hengistbury Head and back on their paddle boards after work.
Inspired by this I asked a friend to take me to the SUP class that got her started. Getting into a wetsuit took longer than it took to get going with the board. The group had a little paddle in waist deep water where we practiced turning and the art of going from standing to kneeling, very handy if wake from a boat challenges your balance, and then we headed off for two hours of paddling.
Once we got to deeper water and were feeling in control of our boards our instructors demonstrated speedy pivot turns to give us a challenge which got most people falling in. Two hours maintaining your balance while paddling turned out to be enough exercise for me to wake up with stiff legs the next day, as well as happy memories of crystal clear water. Its fascinating how different ones town looks when viewed while standing on the sea.
The people who took me paddle boarding are based in Poole but there are certainly plenty of places in Bournemouth that offer SUP lessons alongside surfing and kite-surfing lessons. But of course if the wind has got the waves up and you fancy an adrenaline rush then you might want to take the opportunity to have a go at kite-surfing. But I think Ill be keeping my feet planted firmly on my paddle board!
Susanne did a course with Easy Riders who are based in H2O Sports on Sandbanks Road, Poole, just 5 minutes from Poole Harbour. More details call 01202 744055 or visit www.easyriderskiteboarding.com.

National Parks to Purchase Fuel-Efficient and Alt-Fuel Vehicles as Part of Clean Cities Program
June 21, 2012 • by Staff • Bookmark +
WASHINGTON – The National Parks Service is partnering with the U.S. Energy Department via the Clean Cities program to deploy fuel-efficient and alternative-fuel vehicles in five national parks across the U.S. The parks deploying new vehicles including the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia; the Blue Ridge Parkway, also in Virginia; the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas; the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California; and the Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado.
The Shenandoah National Park plans to partner with Virginia Clean Cities to deploy an all-electric vehicle (EV), a plug-in hybrid EV, and 12 propane lawn mowers. The park also plans to install three EV chargers, two of which park visitors will be able to access. At the Blue Ridge Parkway, the park plans to partner with Virginia Clean Cities to replacing vehicles from 1989 with eight new hybrid vehicles.
At the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, the park plans to partner with Alamo Area Clean Cities to deploy a propane-powered truck and an electric utility truck. The park also plans to install two publicly available EV chargers. The Golden Gate National Recreation Area plans to partner with San Francisco Clean Cities to install five EV chargers, which will serve both the public and the park's five new electric vehicles. The park also plans to upgrade its heavy-duty maintenance equipment to run on a biodiesel blend and the fueling infrastructure to support it.
Lastly, at the Mesa Verde National Park, the organization there plans to partner with the Southern Colorado and Philadelphia Clean Cities coalitions to deploy a new propane bus, shuttle van, truck, and lawnmower, and two propane fueling stations. Mesa Verde is also launching a park-wide initiative to educate the public about the benefits of reducing vehicle idling.
Clean Cities said these new projects follow three pilot projects launched in 2011 at Grand Teton National Park, Mammoth Cave National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. The parks predict their combined projects will save more than 13,000 equivalent gallons of gasoline and roughly 100 tons of greenhouse gases annually, the organization stated.

Just finished reading the book "Why we want to be rich" by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump. As I've said before, they both are my favorite characters and I've lived half of my life by reading their books and using their advice in my daily life. Although I haven't played the role of that entrepreneur, I've tried several times and will try again and again. This book is more and more about real experiences and ideas of two heroes about financial knowledge and the facts of today's world. I learned a lot by reading this book about the future of trade, investment, and business. The book is a little bit long in comparison to other financial books of these writers, I finished the book in two weeks by reading about 2 hours a day. Make your hands dirty and read this book if you are planning to your future and if it's important for you to make a better life!

Susaye Greene w/SOULKISS: I Can't Help It: Live in NYC!
So a couple things right of the bat… this performance has been on repeat for me for a couple of days. One reason is that "I Can't Help It" may rank in my top five songs of all time, because quite frankly it is a masterpiece rhythmically, harmonically, melodically, lyrically period. I'm not being arrogant when I say that last statement is not up for debate.
Secondly, the fact that this is a performance by the co-writer of this opus, Susaye Greene, causes me to be so introspective because it is almost if I can hear the writing sessions that she and Stevie had over thirty years ago. There's a phenomenon that occurs when the originator of an idea performs their creation, it's just a different space.
Thirdly, the performance itself. The band is killin' straight pocket style, great backing vocals courtesy of our friends from SOULKISS, a great keyboard solo from Ron Gilmore and Susaye herself who goes far beyond singing the song, she is living the song onstage.
I'm sure I'm not the only person that does this but often when I find videos on youtube that I enjoy I will put them on repeat and go and do other things online while I'm still listening to the music. I'll often do this if I have to transcribe a song that I have to perform, I listen to it a bunch of times before I even try to play a note and I find that magically the song tends to play itself. I say all this to say we have to make a conscious effort to listen to music more, than we watch it.
The most important criteria in undertaking this approach is determining first and foremost if you are being presented with music. I would say that beyond a shadow of a doubt, this song, performance and musicians personify what music means to me: passionate, substantive, artful, liberating communication. I would love to say to my wife what Susaye is communicating through singing but speaking is only one dimensional and compared to the three dimensional experience that is music, my verbal entreaties would be quite a bit less than par for the course.
Here's the challenge, currently there are about 571 or so views of this video on youtube. The point is that here you have a great performance by the co-writer of a song that I believe should stand on equal footing with the works of Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers et al in the Great American Songbook and we can get more people to check it out than that??? And you wonder why music in the main is in the sad state of affairs that its in?
When you don't know better you cannot do better, here at GFM we would like to believe that we can be an agent of the knowing to influence the doing. If you didn't know, now you do and it is our collective responsibility to tell everyone that we know so that they might be informed. Please pass this piece of history around for music's sake!
Thank you so much sir! I know how you and I feel about this song!
Well put my friend! Thanks for sharing. I had never seen Ms.Greene before this vid. Yes "I can't help it" is one of those tunes that just is! I remember the personal joy I felt when I learned how to play the bassline. Easily one of MJ's greatest tunes! Share I will!

The Week in Early American History
May 26, 2013 By Jonathan Wilson in The Week in Early American History Tags: George Washington Book Prize, peer review, Three-Fifths Clause, Treaty of Paris, Tweet the Debates, XYZ Affair	3 Comments
In time for Memorial Day, we have several stories about time, memory, and narrative in general, as well as links to stories of early America.
First, two new book reviews: Mike Jay's review of Suzanne Corkin's Permanent Present Tense, on memory and personal identity, and James Gleick's review of Lee Smolin's Time Reborn, on the nature of time itself.
Then, has wider access to information done anything in recent years to restrain the "paranoid style in American politics"? Maggie Koerth-Baker says no.
With respect to fiction, Kameron Hurley reflects on her attempts as a fantasy writer to overcome received narratives about what women do in history, especially as fighters. Today, meanwhile, Jim Smith and Ray Zimmerman intend to begin recreating Civil War drummer Peter Guibert's 1913 march from Pittsburgh to Gettysburg, commemorating the biggest of the white veterans' reunions.
The Bostonian Society is displaying Britain's original copy of the 1763 Treaty of Paris at the Old State House (PDF).
The Amistad is in port in Philadelphia through May 29.
A British-born resident of Amsterdam, Stephen Brumwell, has won this year's George Washington Book Prize.
This summer, the Constitutional Sources Project will be playing out the Constitutional Convention according to Madison's notes on Twitter. They are encouraging interested persons to register to play a specific delegate and help "Tweet the [Constitutional Convention] Debates." To just follow along, follow @TweetTheDebates.
Was the Three-Fifths Clause an "anti-slavery measure"? According to Talking Points Memo, Virginia's Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, E. W. Jackson, claimed so in 2011.
The contemporary photography of Robert Christian Malmberg uses the nineteenth century's collodion process to produce striking, somewhat uncanny monochrome portraits of living people. (Contains some nudity.)
Rober Deaner offers his proposal for reforming the peer-review process for academic journals.
Finally, "how about a little XYZ Affair?" The Junto is pleased to note the existence of these (NSFMCEAS) Founding Father pinups. The Junto is now going to go away and be busy decorating its locker until next week.

The Return of the American Revolution »
Brian A. Graham says:
Once again, who to choose, Hamilton or Madison? Oh that Ben Franklin!
Toby Grytafey says:
Thanks for mentioning Tweet the Debates! I hope you enjoy following along and you're all welcome to get involved!
One question I have that people here may know more about – As we'll see at the Convention, "federal" is used to refer to the government they are replacing for a "national" one, which becomes a mixed federal/national government through compromise.
Then, some of the biggest proponents for the national government publish the Federalist Papers, and the opponents of the new government become known as anti-federalists. This seems like it completely switched the meaning of the word around. The people who want to maintain the federal government are anti-federalists.
In addition, William Pierce refers to Robert Yates as an "anti-federal" man in his character sketch of Yates.
Is this just a reframing of a word for political advantage (which is pretty common today)? Or were there contemporaneous uses of the word that make this more understandable?
I, for one, am really looking forward to TTD. As for the labels, there was indeed a switch. The nationalists adopted the name for themselves, some historians have argued, as a way of softening the perceived radicality of their proposals.
In her most recent book, Pauline Maier consciously avoided using the term "anti-federalist" because of its party connotation. She argues that the views of those who opposed the new Constitution were so disparate that often their disapproval was the only thing they had in common. That highlights one of the key reasons behind the nationalists' victory, i.e., they, at least, had a plan. The very term "ANTI-federalist" is emblematic of the fact that their role in the debates and ratification process were primarily negative, i.e., they stood opposed but never offered a coherent alternative to either the AOC or the proposed Constitution, in large part because of the ideological disparities among them.

The Wightman Story
Life at Wightman
Survey Request
providing resources is all about people
Helping Service Providers Grow and Evolve in the 21st Century
Wightman Utilities Expertise
As communities expand and technology advances, there is a growing demand for new and/or upgraded resources and infrastructure. At Wightman, we support the field and administrative needs of companies that provide and deliver required utility resources in the areas of land acquisition and easements, engineering and environmental planning and permitting, as well as compliance monitoring.
Across all Wightman services, safety is of the highest concern, particularly when personnel are working within or projects are being planned in or around, high-risk areas. Wightman is ISNetworld certified for work in the utility sector, with our field personnel trained in OSHA and client-specific protocols.
Our surveyors, who are licensed in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, have the expertise to handle right-of-way corridor expansion projects and construction staking for new infrastructure (i.e. towers, transformers, pipelines, sewer and water lines, substations, telecommunications, private sector, etc.). We also provide right-of-way acquisition services through our partnerships with specialists in this field. For situations where access is limited or conditions are too dangerous to gather accurate measurements through use of traditional survey methodology, we offer high-definition laser scanning (HDLS) for safe and effective data collection.
Our engineering team work closely with Clients to create site plans and obtain permits for construction of substations, transmission and distribution lines, as well as various pipelines (i.e. sewer, water, oil and gas, etc.). We are experts in developing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and related permitting; filing and obtaining right-of-way permits; and helping Clients navigate the regulatory processes that can be involved in these activities.
Clients can count on us for an array of inspection and testing services through our engineering and environmental services. These include, but are not limited to: concrete testing, soil compaction testing, asbestos and hazardous material surveys and erosion and sediment control inspections. Wightman also has extensive experience in developing and implementing overall environmental program management for utilities projects, and can provide detailed mitigation plans or strategies related to invasive species or biosecurity issues, erosion and sediment control, training/orientation and access/stakeholder planning (amongst others)
Why Wightman for Utilities?
What sets Wightman apart is that we take the time to understand our Clients, your processes and how your internal communication channels work. With this level of attention to Client operations, we are able to facilitate, streamline, and expedite how the work gets done – making your job easier.

Porayar situated within the Cauvery delta, Tamilnadu along the south-eastern coastal part of India. The core
sediments display rich diversity in pollen content especially in terms of forest markers which in turn,
indicates good succession of changing vegetation. Cyperaceae and Poaceae pollen are the dominant
herbaceous markers in the core sediments. The diagnostic presence of Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae
pollen along with other associates points towards a marshy environment. Input of pollen from the
Cauvery's upper catchment region is evidenced by the presence of typical Western Ghats taxa markers in
addition to presence of other arboraceous pollen taxa and marsh taxa assemblages that implies the source
was wider including the local surroundings.

The Quaternary period, known for oscillating global climate changes, is punctuated by several glacial and interglacial climatic events. The Holocene period, the latest interglacial period that started around 11,700 yr B.P. (Huang et al., 2008; Ramesh et al., 2010), has been still in much dynamism in terms of climate system. This varied climatic regime, in temporal and spatial scales, influences terrestrial landscape, ecosystem, as well as the floral and faunal composition and distribution (Kale et al., 1994; Walther et al., 2000; Hughes et al., 2003; Parmesan, 2006). Sediment cores act as the best evidence for natural repositories. They have been used for various scientific study and sedimentary processes. One of the ways to reconstruct long term environment history using various proxies is to study the longer sedimentary core records. Many such studies have been conducted in flood plains and delta areas (Allison et al., 1998; Goodbred and Kuhel, 2000; Singh and Rajamani, 2001a,b; Brown and Pasternack, 2003; Pia et al.,2007; Nick et al., 2012). Frequently, the focus is on the recent Quaternary/Holocene histories (Amorosi et al., 2004; Sharma et al., 2004; Sangheon et al., 2006; Ayako et al., 2007; Singh, 2010). Pre Quaternary and Quaternary studies (Banerji, 1979; Williams et al., 2006; Revel et al., 2010) also provide the deep time perspectives. The delta and floodplains of the Cauvery River, originating in the Western Ghats of south India and draining into the Bay of Bengal after transgressing through a good part of peninsular India provide such valuable sediment repositories and is the area of focus for the present study. In an attempt to reconstruct past vegetation and climatic history, in the framework of an ongoing effort to understand natural and anthropogenic dynamics of this delta during the Quaternary, the present research reports the palynological analysis carried out on the retrieved sediment core from this delta. South Indian shield is formed by the accretion of many crustal blocks ranging from mid Archean to neo- Proterozoic and comprises several block mountains (Drury et al., 1984; Radhakrishnan 1989, 1993; Krogstad et al., 1989 and Balakrishnan et al., 1999). Cauvery and its various tributaries, that receive sediments from these 14/2016 Utkal University A PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF QUATERNARY SEDIMENT CORE FROM CAUVERY DELTA older crustal blocks and high standing block mountains, follow a number of shear zones/fault-lineaments having N-S, E-W trend (Valdiya, 1998; Chadwick et al., 2000; Jayananda et al., 2000; Meissner et al., 2001). The important ones are Moyar, Bhavani, Palghat, Cauvery and Attur shear zones (Harris et. al., 1994; Bhaskar Rao et a1., 1996; Raith et al., 1990; 1999). The two important sources for the sediments of Cauvery basin are the rocks of northern Archaean low grade granite-gneiss-greenstone terrain of Dharwar Craton (DC) and the southern late Archaean to Neoproterozoic rocks of high grade granulite terrain. Several N-S and E-W trending major shear zones bound these terrains. In the upper reaches, Cauvery and most of its tributaries flow through rocks of DC that includes low to high grade volcanic sedimentary rocks that are surrounded by more extensive 3.4 to 2.6 Ga old tonalitic-trondhjemitic-granitic (TTG) gneisses of granodioritic composition, known as Peninsular Gneisses (Pichamuthu, 1965; SwamiNath and Ramakrishnan, 1981; Chadwick et a1., 1981; Radhakrishna, 1983) that are intruded by synkinematic calc-alkaline to K-rich magmatic bodies. The gneisses has quartz, plagioclase and k-feldspar as essential mineral constituent along with minor mafic mineral phases comprising of biotite and amphibole and accessory phases such as zircon, apatite and magnetite. The less extensive volcanic sedimentary supracrustal rocks comprise of phyllites, banded ferruginous cherts and greywackes, dolomitic limestone and schists with chlorite (Choudhary et al., 2011; Jayananda et al., 2000; Raith et al., 1990). Lenses of hornblende-pyroxene granulite, garnet-granulite and layered anorthosite are associated with calcic-alkaline rocks. Closepet granite, a linear Batholithic intrusive divides Dharwar craton into two domains, the western Dharwar craton (WDC) and eastern Dharwar craton (EDC) (Viswanatha and Ramakrishnan, 1981; Allen et al., 1986). The Closepet batholiths were emplaced 2.52 Ga (Jayananda et al., 1995). This pink coloured coarse grained porphyritic granite consists of quartz, plagioclase, K –feldspar and subordinate mafic and accessory minerals are hornblende, biotite, rutile and zircon (Radhakrishna, 1956; Chappell et al., 1974). The TTG gneisses of WDC is comparatively older in age (> 3.0 Ga) compared to that of EDC (<2.7Ga) that also contains abundant calcic alkaline to high potassic gneisses and is extensively intruded by mafic dyke swarms (Meen et al.,1992; Nutman et al.,1992, Balakrishnan et al., 1999; Jayananda et al., 2000; Chadwick et al., 2000). WDC is highly deformed compared to EDC and shows a gradual progression in metamorphic grade from amphibolite to Granulite facies in N-S trend (Pichamuthu, 1965). The gneissic rocks are more prone to break-downs and weathering at their foliation and shear planes and produce large masses of regolith. METHODOLOGY
Coring and Sampling
As part of a major project- Science of Shallow Subsurface (SSS), nine cores were retrieved from the delta region in a two-phased drilling programme (fig-3.1). All the coring locations were chosen after taking into account the available information such as latitude, longitude and the geomorphologic setting of the studied region. These coring sites have been selected through the north-south and east west transects of the delta with an aim to cover maximum part of the region. Sediment cores were retrieved from the selected sites using a double barrel Diamond / Tungsten drilling bit corer. A fixed length PVC tube was attached to the corer for retrieving the sediment. A combination of both rotary circulation and rotary percussion methods were used to recover the cores from soft consolidated and unconsolidated sediments respectively. Core recovery was 100% in muddy formations and 60-70% in sandy beds. After completion of drilling, the cores were shifted to the cold room and kept in preservation at 4°C. The plastic tubes containing the sediments were cut length-wise into two halves using a circular saw and a nylon string to cut the hard pipes and soft sample respectively. Out of the two halves one half was wrapped in plastic thin films to retain the internal moisture and preserved for future use. The other half was sub-sampled at 2 cm to 5cm intervals.

The pollen is extremely resistant to decay and is often preserved for thousands of years (Faegri and Iversen, 1975). The pollen grains consist of two layers- exine, composed of Sporopollenin (Zetzsche, 1932) with little Polysaccharides (Rowley et al, 1981) and intine composed of Cellulose. During fossilisation only exine gets preserved retaining the characteristic morphology of the plant taxon. Palynological protocol, adapted from Faegri and Iversen (1975), was followed for processing of pollen with slight modifications. The whole procedure is given in chart.3.1. First 5g to 6g of sample from the master core were taken for analysis. Recoveries of the core sediment, quality of samples (clay rich) as well as the interest in special core section were taken into account for the number of sub samples to be considered. The selected samples were taken for oven drying for duration of 24 to 48 hours at 40 to 45°C. The oven dried samples were then crushed in a hand agate mortar for breaking up the lumps and to make samples consistent and

This was followed by suspending the powdered samples in distilled water and constant stirring by a magnetic stirrer for effective dispersion of the sediments. Fig. 2.

The solution was then subjected to wet-sieving with a 150µm mesh. Sample fractions less than 150µm were collected into a 500ml glass beaker with a Teflon funnel and those greater than 150µm were discarded. This sieved sample solution was then centrifuged for 3 to 4 minutes at 2000 to 2500 rpm and the supernatant liquid was discarded. An addition of 10% potassium Hydroxide (KOH) was made to the sample residue and the sample was subjected to heating in a water bath for 5 minutes to remove humic material such as unsaturated organic soil colloids and humic acids. This process is also helpful in removing various particles of less than 3µm that interfere with pollen in organic rich sediments. The sample was then added with 10% Hydrochloric acid (HCl) to dissolve Carbonate materials. The above processes were repeated until all reactions were brought to an end. The sample, after this pre-treatment, was treated with 40 to 60 ml of 48% Hydrofluoric acid (HF) in polypropylene 100 ml tubes for 36 to 48 hours in order to dissolve silica (SiO2) with intermittent stirring and

Then the residue was kept in contact with 40 ml of hot 20% HCl for 4 to 6 hours to break up siliceous colloidal clumps and dissolve the fluorosilicates formed during the HF treatment. The residue was transferred to polypropylene 15ml centrifuge tube, centrifuged and dehydrated with Glacial Acetic acids. The pre-treated samples were then acetolysed with Erdtman's acetolysis mixture (9:1 mixture of acetic anhydride and concentrated sulphuric acid) in a water bath at 90 ⁰C for 5 to10 minutes and mixed thoroughly with the help of a glass rod. The main aim of the acetolysis procedure was to remove the polysaccharides and cellulose which coat the upper column of the pollen grains (Erdtman 1960) enabling to see the characteristic features of the pollen wall and distinguish the pollen taxa. The whole process was done inside a well-ventilated fume hood. The acetolysed residues were stored in 50% glycerine in 10ml volumetric tubes. The completion of each step was followed by repeated washing and centrifugation till the samples were free of acids. Fig. 3. Flow chart showing standard procedure for pollen preparation RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The coring site in the village of Porayar is located 2m above msl, (N 11°01' 17.8''; E 79 °50'42.6'') in the eastern coastal part of Cauvery delta, north of Karaikal, in the state of Tamil Nadu, around 2 km inland from Bay of Bengal. The total length of the sediment core recovered was 26.5m. Of this, the top 1.5m of core was missing possibly due to recent disturbances and substituted by sediment dumped here from elsewhere. A simplified litho diagram is given in (Fig-4). A PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF QUATERNARY SEDIMENT CORE FROM CAUVERY DELTA Fig. 4. Litho-stratigraphy and location of samples taken for radiocarbon chronology of Porayar (PR) core from central marginal part of the delta plain. * Radiocarbon dates, Srikanth (2012). Throughout the core, abundant microfossils, mostly foraminifera along with some estuarine affinity gastropod mega fossil shells, were present except at the top and bottom parts. The mud sequence above 12m depth is intercalated with rootlets and organic materials while the remaining part is mostly made up of fine to medium grained sand layers intercalated with silty mud and at places dispersed calcrete nodules. On the basis of texture and colour the Porayar core sediment was divided into 6 units.The observed sedimentary facies for the entire Holocene sequence was composed of primarily the estuarine deposits underlain by fluvial sedimentary units below the depth of 12.5m (Singh et al., 2013). For the pollen analysis a total of 50 sediment samples have been chosen from the recovered core sediments and processed by the standard protocol (Faegri and Iverson, 1975). Out of the 50 samples, 3 samples, corresponding to depths 4.49m, 6.94 and 9.92m of the core were barren. Ten samples between the depths 13m and 20m contained sparse and badly preserved pollen. Though one or two slides were counted for all these 13 samples, due to the low pollen counts ( 10-20), these could not be considered for making the pollen diagram. The pollen preservation was good between 10m to 4m and comparatively less so in the rest of the core. A total number of 97 pollen taxa were encountered in the entire profile (table-4.2). To do interpretation of the generated fossil pollen data and to find out the relationship in terms of vegetation, the palynoflora were grouped in to different assemblages according to their life-forms. The pollen taxa that totalled 97 were grouped classically into Arboreal Pollen (AP:56), Non-Arboreal Pollen (NAP:37) and Non-Classified (NC:4); some ecological groupings such as forest markers, opening & disturbance markers, marsh/swamp indicators and aquatics were then attributed to these; there were 3 aquatic and 6 cultivated/introduced pollen taxa. The most common among the pollen taxa recovered was Poaceae that contributed a major share to the pollen spectrum (21-60%). Values of Cyperaceae ranged from 1-23%, with higher values in the middle part of the core. Members of Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae recorded a higher frequency ( 19%) at the depth of 4m to 1.8m and with lesser frequency ( 6%) at the depth of 10m to 13m of the core. In the middle part of the core its occurrence reduced further with a relatively stable value 3%. Rhizophoraceae pollen occurred occasionally in a very low percentage ( 3%) only between the depth 13.m and 11m of the core and was absent throughout the other parts of core. The pollen of Pandanus < 1% was rare and present sporadically at some depths of the MOHAPATRA, A. KRISHNAMURTHY, P. SRINIVASAN, P. SINGH, P. P. DAS core. The pollen of Typha, considered an aquatic indicator, was present throughout with maximum of 2% in some samples in the middle part of the core. There were 47 taxa belonging to the forest group, of which Drypetes, Diospyros, Rutaceae, Syzygium, Glochidion, Atalantia, Randia, Mallotus and Melastomataceae/Combretaceae are the important APs and Securinega Phyllanthus, Acalypha and Justicia are the major NAPs contributing to the pollen spectrum. Some forest taxa such as Aporosa, Elaeocarpus, Macaranga, Mimusops and Myriophyllum had very few occurrences at 13m to 10m and were absent in other parts of the core. The other forest pollen taxa occurring in a considerable value include Hardwickia, Schleichera, Madhuca and Haldina. The pollen of Eucalyptus, Casuarina, Cocos and Delonix were found in a good numbers in the upper part of the core. The frequencies of the pollen of Compositae (echinate) and Dodonaea were comparatively higher in the upper part of the core. Chrozophora, Phoenix and Ricinus (<1%), although negligible, only appear between the upper 3m of the core. A large number of trilete and monolete spores were encountered mostly between10m and 5m. CONCLUSION
The present study reports the palynological investigation carried out on a sediment core of Cauvery deltaic region. The analysis of sediments indicates rich diversity in pollen content especially in terms of forest markers. The most common among the pollen taxa recovered was Poaceae with higher values in the middle part of the core. Members of Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae recorded a higher frequency and were 47 taxa belonging to the forest group were identified from the core samples. The pollen assemblages along with other associates point towards a marshy environment. Typical Western Ghats taxa markers in addition to presence of other arboraceous pollen taxa and marsh taxa assemblages implies that the source of this fluvio-deltaic Quaternary deposit was wider including the local surroundings.

National stroke services must address all elements of care of patients with cerebrovascular disease and stroke from prevention, acute treatment, non-acute treatment, rehabilitation and continuing and palliative care
Irish Heart Foundation: Council for Stroke National Clinical Guidelines and Recommendations for the Care of People with Stroke and Transient Ischaemic Attack Revised Version March 2010 Foreword 18 months ago the Irish Heart Foundation published an audit of stroke services in the Republic of Ireland. The audit revealed what many had suspected. Adequate services and facilities to prevent, asses and treat the yearly toll of10,000 victims of stroke are not available to most of our population. Even when supposedly available they are often seriously deficient. Only one hospital had a stroke unit. The Rehabilitation services were often poorly organised and uncoordinated. The end result was that most patients with acute stroke received care which was less than optimal and were not accorded the timely rehabilitation which plays a major part in preventing long-term disability. The Stroke Council of the Irish Heart Foundation addressed the issues raised by the audit. It set up a working party to produce a comprehensive strategy for the development of a service in line with best international practice adapted to Irish conditions. The result, prepared over the last 18 months is this document. It sets out a strategy for the prevention, treatment and management of stroke. It shows that strokes may be prevented, that warning signs are often ignored and that simple population educational measures can be very effective in reducing numbers of victims. The establishment of proper assessment units for the prompt management of patients suffering transient ischaemic attacks is one of the key points of this preventive strategy. Prompt treatment reduces mortality from acute stroke and t disability levels amongst survivors. The key to this is rapid assessment of the stroke victim, the provision of thrombolytic therapy where appropriate and the organisation of Accident and Emergency departments to deal effectively with the victims and to direct them to designated stroke units. Such units provide immediate care, close monitoring of and appropriate intervention in the evolving stroke. The physical grouping of patients in such units ensures that rehabilitation can be provided in a timely fashion and the many disciplines involved can be organised in such a way as to ensure that this is done to provide optimal benefit. The patient can progress seamlessly from the acute event through early rehabilitation into properly organised appropriate rehabilitation programs and back to the community. Stroke at this stage has elements of a chronic illness, and ongoing nursing, medical and therapist support is required, both at home, and for an important minority of those affected, in nursing homes. The report deals with the role of allied and health professionals, nurses, doctors and primary care centres in this process. Central to this concept is the creation of stroke networks. Networks embrace all the hospitals, services and individuals providing care at every stage of the process. Care of the acute stroke victim begins in the ambulance, continues through thrombolysis, early recognition and assessment in the accident and emergency departments, stroke unit and the provision of internationally acceptable levels of ongoing care. Such a service could save up to 350 lives a year and substantially reduce the number of those suffering from major disability. As medical director of the Irish heart foundation I have watched with admiration the way in which so many people, far too numerous from me to acknowledge individually, have worked together to produce this report. They are drawn from all the disciplines associated with the care of the stroke patient and were joined by others
