Something that I'm sure crosses almost everyone's mind when coming to teach in Korea is, "What will the dating scene be like? Will it be like home? Will I be able to meet new people?" I know I certainly worried about dating in Korea! When you're moving to a new country you know things will be different, but just how different will they be?
Never fear, because it's not all that different. There are always those distinct differences that people find confusing, but these are the things that we can all get around. Let me tell you about some of them!
Dating in South Korea is quite similar to American or Canadian relationships, but ex-pats will notice some differences!
Back home, meeting a potential partner can be tough, so meeting friends of friends and hitting the town are popular ways to meet people. In Korea, it's almost the same. To me, it seems like being in a relationship is a lot more important here than back home, so Koreans are very eager to find someone special. Blind dates are much more common here than back home. Parents, relatives or friends will help set someone up in the hopes of making a match. No matter what culture it is, blind dates will always be a nerve-wracking experience!
When it comes to how we express ourselves in our relationships and what we look for in a partner, there are some pretty distinct differences. Of course, looks play a role in the decision making process, but Westerners are also looking for compatibility and people we can get along with. In Korea, appearance is a dominant factor in these decisions. Beauty is important here, and for Korean girls, the wallet size is also something to consider! That being said, love is always in the air here, with not one, but TWO days to express your love to your main squeeze!
When things start getting more serious with your significant other, you might introduce them to your parents. This is always scary, right? Well in Korean culture, that won't happen for a long time! When a couple wants to introduce each other to their parents, it's because they intend to get married. If introductions happen before this is planned, then the family will definitely start pushing for wedding soon! I think its better to just stick with the matching outfits until you're sure he or she is "the one".
Of course, these are just minor cultural differences. The standard/traditional dating rules still apply: the guy pays on the first date, girls wait for the guys to call them, and both try to avoid certain awkward first date subjects. If you ever find yourself dating a native of Korea, then all the more power to you! There are so many great people to meet in this country, so go out there and find someone! Good luck!

North Vietnam Coastal Cruising – Danang to Hanoi
Go where few tourists have gone – to the astounding Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, where caves as long as 30 kilometres were discovered only recently. The Vinh Moc tunnels and Khe Sanh Combat Base provide an eye-opening insight into the history of the America-Vietnam war. Be enchanted by the dreamlike scenery of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam's must-see natural wonder of limestone islands. Witness the great scene of early morning ritual at Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi. Here you might encounter anything from laughing yoga to ballroom dancing
Much of Vietnam's stunning coastline, hundreds of miles long, is seen mostly by local fisherman. Small-ship adventure cruising, however, is a way of experiencing not only the must-see limestone scenery of Halong Bay, but also those destinations most travellers haven't discovered yet. The star of this particular show is Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, an unspoiled haven of cliffs, mountains, rivers and impossibly long caves that were discovered barely a decade ago. Add in historic Hue, vibrant Hanoi and the important war sites of Vinh Moc and Khe Sanh, and this becomes one unforgettable week of leisure and discovery in Vietnam.

Also visit the elaborate royal tomb of Emperor Tu Duc, with its beautiful lake, frangipani and pine trees. Later, return to the ship for dinner, and set sail at midnight for Vinh Moc.
Vinh Moc
Visit the intriguing Vinh Moc Tunnels today. These were built to shelter local communities in the Demilatarised Zone that separated North and South Vietnam during the war. As you'll learn, the the tunnels grew in sophistication as well as depth, and many families resided in this underground village in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Embarking at Bai Chay (Halong City West), soak up the views of this World Heritage-listed beauty and its pretty limestone islands. You'll also visit a cave in the area. During the warmer months your leader will discuss the option for swimming from Ti Top Island. Kayaking along the bay is another great option.
Halong Bay to Hanoi
Disembark after breakfast, then transfer by bus to Hanoi, arriving around midday. Your leaders can offer suggestions for lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a walking tour of Hanoi, which includes a visit to a traditional water puppet show. Your host Liem invites you into his home, a small-scale theatre that continues a long running family tradition passed down from generation to generation. Witness not only the show itself but gain a behind-the-scenes insight into how the puppets are made and animated. For the final night of the trip, head out on the town with fellow travellers for an optional farewell dinner, and retire to a local hotel.
Those feeling active can rise early for an optional leader-led walking tour this morning. This includes 'laughing yoga', tai chi, and other lakeside activities enjoyed by Hanoi's local population. The trip comes to an end after breakfast at the hotel.

On September 14, 2010 I was interviewed on two CBC morning talk shows about my documentary. I discussed how as a result of my research, I am allowing students to use cell phones in the class room so that I can teach them proper social etiquette, digital citizenship, and help them learn how to manage their compulsion to text through cuing their attention. By the time I drove back to Kitchener, I had two messages from CTV asking to do a feature on teens and texting and a story on how I handle cell phone use in the classroom. The next day, while I was taping CTV's Provincewide the Toronto District School Board announced it would be reviewing their policy on banning cell phones in the school. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty was then asked to weigh in on the issue and supported the Board's decision, saying schools should be open to using cell phones in the classroom. The CBC called me back and asked me to participate in their radio talk show syndicate circuit for the following day. After CTV spent the morning in my classroom taping footage for the news story, I went home and spent 3 hours on the phone speaking with 11 talk show hosts across Canada. A special thanks goes out to Neil Andersen for sending me a copy of one of the live recordings from St. Johns.
Please keep in mind that restricted use is the first step in teaching students to become self-regulators. It is the only way to draw their attention to their own habits and open a space for discussion. Gradual release of responsibility follows.
While shooting for my documentary on teens and texting, I had the opportunity to fly out and meet former senior executive of both Apple and Microsoft, Linda Stone. Linda is a well-known and respected leader when it comes to talking about technology and managing attention in a fast-paced world. Her articles have appeared in the Huffington Post, the New York Times, The Economist, The Boston Globe, and the Harvard Business Review. She is also a speaker at corporate conferences.
Here are some clips from the interview. Linda talks about continuous partial attention and multi-tasking, email apnea, as well as uni-focus and managing attention.
Social Media in the classroom has become a hot issue in education. I've talked to several teachers who want to create opportunities for students to communicate using the same technological platforms teens have already grown accustomed to. I interviewed Microsoft Social Media Researcher and Harvard Fellow, danah boyd about how teens connect using social media and asked her to suggest some tips for teachers wanting to use these platforms. I also spoke with Educational Researcher Dr. Tracey Alloway from Stirling University in Scotland about the benefits of social media in Education including the building of working memory.
Is it the death of texting?
A former media instructor of mine, who has since become my online friend in all things media, sent me an article from the U.K. called, "The Death of Texting", asking what my students would think about it (thanks Neil!). The Online Mail article claims that the slowing growth of the number of texts signals an end to texting. I'm not an analytics specialist by any means, but I'm pretty sure it's common for trends to stagnate at some point without it meaning the death knell is about to ring.
While it's true that more and more people may opt for the texting services that are on their data plans rather than messaging by SMS, I don't forsee an "end" to the craft of texting. I also don't see video chat "replacing" texting, as the author claims. While the technology or platform may change, the communication itself doesn't necessarily change. Instead, we end up with an expanded repertoire of tools.
Texting is popular because of its anytime, anyplace nature. As long as teenagers continue to stay in touch with friends in their every waking moment, whatever technology that helps them with this is surely going to survive. In an interview with Microsoft researcher, danah boyd, she explained to me that teens use technology to help them find their place and identity as their social circles continuously shift through their development.
The teenaged students I interviewed about Facebook and texting gave me some pretty good insight into the popularity of texting as a medium of choice, saying it's great because it's intimate while requiring short spurts of commitment, and participants don't have to worry about how they look. Students talked about carrying on multiple conversations and the enjoyment of no one else knowing who or how many other people they were conversing with at the same time. Not only do they benefit from feeling connected, but they also reinforce or move higher in social status.
Although I didn't talk to students about video chat, there's a whole different dynamic going on in a visual conversation. You can't talk to multiple people at the same time without the other person knowing about it, and body language and voice expression come back into play. The time commitment and attention required for such a task continues to keep this form of communication limited.
The question of "user friction" also comes to mind. Friction is generated by the number of steps it takes to follow through in using the technology, as well as the commitment required on the part of the user. In online commerce it's been found that customers feel most comfortable with about 3 steps in making online purchases. This friction is generated through the desire of ease of use against the peace of mind required when it comes to making secure transactions. Not enough steps will cause a customer to question the security of the transaction, while too many steps make the customer feel like online shopping is an arduous task. In communication with close friends, we want to be one-step away. Texting is a one-step process. Straight from your contacts, you can compose and send a message. It's an easy way of maintaining close friendships.
In Facebook, the "Like" button is what I would call a half-step process. It only requires hitting the button of something you're already on anyway. The time commitment and attention required is minimal, maybe even too minimal. It's a perfectly easy way of signalling that you're aware and somewhat interested in your friend's or acquaintance's life. These tiny bouts of commitment are part of relationship maintenance.
Video chat is a multi-step process. You need to make sure you look okay, you need to make sure you are in a suitable location, and then, you have to make sure the other person is available at the same time, under the same conditions. These steps come before the ones you have to take in operating the communications device. Going through all the steps of a video chat signals a serious investment in the relationship and will likely be reserved for such.

Lauter ist ein Gemeindeteil der Gemeinde Surberg im Landkreis Traunstein in Oberbayern. Das Dorf mit 342 Einwohnern liegt auf  an der Bahnstrecke München–Salzburg. Bis in die 1970er-Jahre hatte Lauter eine Bahnhaltestelle.

Geschichte
Lauter ist einer der Orte, die in den  bereits 790 genannt wurden. Im 8. Jahrhundert schenkten die Grafen Adalbert, Reimbert und Norbert Güter in Lauter an die Salzburger Kirche. Es ist jedoch nicht ausgeschlossen, dass der Ort noch älter ist, zumal hier die Römerstraße Salzburg–Augsburg, heute  genannt, vorbeiführte. Allerdings konnte die Römerstraße bisher noch nicht archäologisch nachgewiesen werden.

Als Mautstation war Lauter von 959 bis 1245 ein wichtiger Ort, der erst an Bedeutung verlor, als im 19. Jahrhundert die Straße im Surtal gebaut wurde. Mit dem 2. Erhartinger Vertrag von 1275 wurde die Mautstelle an der so genannten Mittleren Salzstraße nach Traunstein verlegt. Gleichzeitig aber wurde Lauter zum Grenzort. In diesem Vertrag hat der Bayernherzog die Westgrenze der Besitzungen des Salzburger Erzbischofs anerkannt. Lauter gehört zum Rupertiwinkel, mit dem es 1810 zu Bayern kam. Schon immer gab es einen Schmied, einen Wagner, einen Kramer und einen Wirt.

Gemeinde
Am 17. Februar 1968 wurde der Name der Gemeinde Kapell amtlich in Lauter geändert. Am 1. Januar 1970 wurde sie aufgelöst. Ihr Gebiet wurde in die Gemeinden Neukirchen am Teisenberg und Surberg eingegliedert.
 Ehrenbürger
Die folgenden Personen erhielten die Ehrenbürgerwürde durch die Gemeinde Kapell.

You can change your personal color scheme in the control panel, I believe.
You used to. You can't anymore.
That's similar to what the original color scheme was for Footballidiot back in 2011.

Create engaging and intelligent content experiences on your own.
According to the global CBRNE Defence Market Analysis and Forecast for 2020, the military segment is projected to grow at a fast pace e.g. the United Kingdom plans to equip their fleet with 10 nuclear and radiological detection vehicles. The Netherlands also plans to increase the operational lifespan of their 12 armoured vehicles for CBRNE reconnaissance. According to the latest weekly tally of a WHO's report, most new cases of coronavirus worldwide (46%) are still reported in Euope despite the decline in cases that followed "the strengthening of public health and social measures" in the region. Indeed, although the number of new cases decreased, the tally of deaths rose "substantially" in Europe over the last week to reach more than 29,000 deaths. The sharpest rise in coronavirus cases was recorded in Austria, with a 30% increase in new cases in a week. WHO also noted that the United Kingdom was the first country in the region to record more than 50,000 deaths.
Armenia accuses Azerbaijan of using white phosphorus during the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh after several soldiers were admitted to the hospital in Yerevan with wounds that are typical of a chemical or phosphorus weapon. Furthermore, France calls for international supervision to implement a ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, after a deal was signed earlier this month between Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan without the participation of the Minsk Group.
According to the global CBRNE Defence Market Analysis and Forecast for 2020, North America is projected to see the highest growth at present the region is generating the highest revenue, witnessing an increase in the number of developments related to CBRNE defence. A UK-funded programme began demining Falkland Islands in 2009, and on 14 November 2020, The Falklands was finally declared landmine free, almost 40 years after the conflict. The United States has successfully intercepted and destroyed a mock intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in its latest test of a sea-based missile defense system, on November 17. The United States recorded 1 million COVID-cases in a week on 19 November, the highest level ever reported.
Biopharmaceutical companiy Pfizer will ask the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 20 November to allow emergency use of its coronavirus vaccine. Making the company and its German partner, BioNTech, the first coronavirus vaccine developers to submit their shot for review by U.S. regulators. The FDA is expected to issue a decision within weeks. Moderna, another COVID-19 shot developer is also highly likely to seek FDA authorization.
Latin America accounts for 1 of every 3 COVID-19 related deaths, according to John Hopkins University's tally.
Mexico has become the fourth country, behind The US, Brazil and India, to hit 100.000 COVID-19 deaths.
Taiwan's ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone) is frequently intruded by the People's Liberation Army's (PLA). According to the Minister of National Defense, Yen Teh-fa, a total of 276 PLA aircrafts have entered Taiwan's southwest ADIZ since the beginning of the year. Taiwan's Deputy Chief of Defense staff has also noted that there have been drone intrusions in Taiwan's southwest ADIZ.
The Philippines is reportedly set to be the first buyer of India-Russia cruise missile. This move is suspected to unnerve Beijing, given the current border stand-off with New Delhi and other territorial disputes with its neighbors in the South China Sea.
The Thai cabinet has decided to extend the state of emergency until January 15. Meanwhile, India still holds the second-highest number of total cases worldwide, but its rate is decreasing. South Korea is seeing a slight rise in cases as the country is battling its 3rd wave. On 23 November, another daily rise of more than 200 new cases was reported, only a day after tightening social distancing rules. Whereas Japan reported 2159 new daily cases on 22 November, topping 2000 cases for a fifth day.
North Korea's announcement of developing a COVID-19 vaccine has again focused attention on Pyongyang's purported biological weapons program. Nevertheless, according to Stimson Center policy-paper, North Korea does not possess an advanced BW program as shown by official public records from US and South Korea.
On 8 November, an exploding landmine killed a North Korean officer and maimed another soldier, the latest of dozens of casualties caused by mines laid to deter citizens from illegally crossing the country's border with China.
Saudi Arabia reserves the right to arm itself with nuclear weapons if Iran cannot be stopped from making one. Tehrain has been working on the use of nuclear power for decades. Additionally, several people wounded in a bomb-attack at a Remembrance Day ceremony attended by foreign diplomats in Saudi city of Jeddah, on 11 November. A Greek consulate employee and Saudi security officer were reported to have been hurt. On November 13, there was reportedly a "sea-launched missile" strike near the central prison in Idlib, Syria. The Israel Defense Forces uncovered and disarmed a number of explosive devices that had been planted inside Israeli-controlled territory in the southern Golan Heights, near the Syrian border, on 17 November. Four rockets struck inside a heavily fortified area in Baghdad housing foreign embassies including that of the United States, on 17 November, signalling an apparent end to a temporary halt in attacks by Iran-backed militias targeting Washington's presence in the country. The Turkish government will impose weekend curfews, although partial, between 10 am and 8 pm. This comes as an effort to help curb the current surge in COVID-19 cases. However, health experts are advocating for a total lockdown, fearing that the situation will escalate and be worse than it was in the spring. WHO issues a warning of a deadly second-wave of of COVID across the Middle East. The concern was raised after many countries in the region have lowered their guard after complete-lockdowns imposed earlier in the year. Over 3,6 million people have been infected by the pandemic, the virus has killed over 76.000 people in nine-months. At least four policemen have been confirmed dead and 15 others, including 10 civilians, injured as a car bomb exploded next to a police base in Almar district of the northern Faryab province, on November 8, in Maimana, Afghanistan. On 9 November, a roadside mine blast wounded two civilians in Kabul. On November 13, a suicide car bomb blast at the western entry gate of Kabul killed three soldiers, wounding four others. The attack on the army checkpoint follows weeks of violence, including an attack by gunmen earlier this month, killing 22 people, mostly students of the Kabul University. The assault was claimed by the ISIL (ISIS) armed group.
Covid-19 has had a great impact on landmine-clearing efforts in Western Sahara. Rockets from Ethiopia's northern Tigray region hit the capital of neighbouring Eritrea on Saturday, 14 November, the latest indication that Ethiopia's internal conflict is spreading beyond its borders. The United States government announced an additional USD $3 million for humanitarian demining projects in Zimbabwe on 18 November. Nine trucks were petrol-bombed on N3 and R103, Gauteng, South-Africa, on 19 November. COVID cases in Africa surpassed 2 million, According to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention on 20 November. Southern Africa is the worst hit in the region with 22.300 deaths and 85.100 cases. North Africa recorded 66.300, East Africa 249.200, West Africa 200.00, whilst Central Africa refgistered 63.500 cases.
News from Pfizer and BioNTech that they have had promising results from COVID-19 clinical trials of a vaccine is encouraging, which makes it possible that some doses will be available to New Zealand in the first part of 2021. Australia's Victoria state, once hard-hit by the pandemic, has reported no COVID-19 cases in 3-weeks for the first time since February. As of 20 November, there are only two active cases remaining across the state.

Q: Clean old options from child dropdown when receiving data by JSON I populate child dropdown (second dropdown) by the onchange event in parent dropdown (first dropdown). After that by onchange event of child dropdown I am autofilling three text boxes. But my issue is with first dropdown. Id of first dropdown is combo and id of second dropdown is combo1.
When I select A from first dropdown then I in second dropdown I have got a value 1 by appending in javascript written below in auto.jsp. But when I select option B in first dropdown then I got 2 in second dropdown but the old value 1 should be removed from second dropdown, but it is still remaining there, why? Similarly when I am selecting A or B from first dropdown multiple times then multiple values 1 or 2 are coming in second dropdown which I want to remove and to display single times that is if A will be selected then 1 will be displayed and if B will be selected then 2 will be displayed, how can it be done?
auto.jsp
   <script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
 $("#combo").change(function() {// by onchange event in first dropdown I populate  second dropdown having id combo1
  $.getJSON('combo1.jsp', {firstcombobox : this.value}, function(responseData) {
   $("#combo1").append(
$("<option></option>").html(responseData.name).val(responseData.name)
);
  });
});
// After getting value in second dropdown, by onchange event i am autofilling 3 textboxes.
$("#combo1").change(function() {

 $.getJSON('combo2.jsp', { combo1Val : $(this).val() }, function(data) {

 $("#firsttextbox").val(data.name);
$("#secondtextbox").val(data.roll_no);
 $("#thirdtextbox").val(data.fine);
  });
 });
});
    </script>
<body>
//First dropdown
 <select id="combo" name="firstcombobox">

     <option value="">select</option>
      <option value="a">A</option>
       <option value="b">B</option>
        </select>
// Second dropdown
      <select id="combo1" name="combo1Val" >
     <option value="">select</option>
 </select>
</body>

combo1.jsp
<%@page import="net.sf.json.JSONObject"%>
<%@page import="net.sf.json.JSONArray"%>
<%
String firstcombobox=request.getParameter("firstcombobox");

if(firstcombobox.equalsIgnoreCase("a")){// If selected value in first dropdown is A then 1 will be displayed as written below
JSONObject arrayObj= new JSONObject();

       arrayObj.put("name","1");// I displayed 1 in second dropdown option when A is selected
          response.setContentType("application/json");
      response.getWriter().write(arrayObj.toString());
      }
else if(firstcombobox.equalsIgnoreCase("b")){
  JSONObject arrayObj= new JSONObject();
       arrayObj.put("name","2");
          response.setContentType("application/json");
      response.getWriter().write(arrayObj.toString());
}
else{
}
%>

A: In auto.jsp '#combo' change anonymous function, replace:
$.getJSON('combo1.jsp', {firstcombobox : this.value}, function(responseData) {
    $("#combo1").append(
        $("<option></option>").html(responseData.name).val(responseData.name)
    );
});

with:
$.getJSON('combo1.jsp', {firstcombobox : this.value}, function(responseData) {
    $("#combo1").empty().append(
        $("<option></option>").html(responseData.name).val(responseData.name)
    );
});

To split the string into an array look here: How do I split a string, breaking at a particular character?
They use as follows:
$.getJSON('combo1.jsp', {firstcombobox : this.value}, function(responseData) {
    var splitValues = responseData.name.split(/,/);

    $("#combo1").empty().append("<option value="0">Please select...</option>");

    for (var idx in splitValues) {
        $("#combo1").append(
            $("<option></option>").html(splitValues[idx]).val(splitValues[idx])
        );
    }
});

Hope this helps?

Een business angel, ook wel informele durfkapitaalverstrekker genoemd, is een vermogende particulier (meestal een ex-ondernemer die zijn bedrijf heeft verkocht) die een gedeelte van zijn eigen geld actief investeert in het kapitaal van veelbelovende bedrijven in ruil voor aandelen, een achtergestelde lening of een combinatie van beide. Per investering gaat het doorgaans om bedragen tussen 50.000 en 500.000 euro.

Naast geld brengt hij ook ervaring, branchekennis en de juiste contacten binnen.

In diverse regio's bestaan er netwerken en soms 'verenigingen' van business angels.

ICYMI - This Week on WIIHAMB - 2015 Week #42
In case you missed it - You shouldn't have, but just in case you did.
On this particular Sunday, the clocks has gone back and I have a stomach bug. YAY! This stomach bug has already prevented me from attending two shows this weekend and I'm becoming ever anxious that I won't make it to Years & Years on Tuesday either. That would be really awful for numerous reasons. Another thing to add to the list of dumb things I didn't do: go and see Leks Rivers on Monday. And I'm so so so annoyed at myself, surprise surprise. I'll get over it eventually, in the meantime, let's ponder the week that was.
Keep up to date with all of the daily goings-on over at WIIHAMB Daily.
I provide to you yet another song that every other blog has already shared: Here is Jack Garratt's 'Breathe Life'. The multitalented musician has plenty in the pipeline, with the announcement of his debut album 'Phase', set for release in February, as well as a headline show at London's Brixton Academy. 2016 is set to be an even bigger year for Garratt than 2015 has been and we're not even there yet.
I love Alessia Cara, she's literally the only person on this planet who has made 'Hotline Bling' even mildly bearable for me so imagine how stoked I was when I saw that she'd covered Nick Jonas' 'Levels'. I reckon that really, Alessia Cara could probably sing absolutely anything and make it sound incredible. How much would I need to pay her in order to get her to cover every song ever? Also, later this week we learnt her debut album is being released in three weeks. What?
Today I listened to Olivver the Kid's new EP The Boy Who Cried Wolf and uncovered a new found appreciation for the songs which I'd already heard that are taken from it. 'World On Fire' is one of those, and it's really cool. Essentially, there's no way that anybody who likes The Neighbourhood could not like this. That kind of multi-genre-crossover thing done really well.
Callum Meadows Mcnab AKA MDWS is from Brisbane and 'Heartbreak' is his debut single. Didn't I say something a little while ago about the excellent quality of new artists creeping out of Australia? The influences on MDWS' Facebook page read like an absolute dream as well: Caribou, Flume, Gallant, Frank Ocean. The best bit is, there's an EP on the way before the end of the year - praise the lord!
Avid Sunset Sons fans (i.e. the likes of me) will be aware that 'On The Road' featured on the four-piece's secret/pretend-it-didn't-exist Le Surfing EP which was released early last year. 'On The Road' follows 'She Wants', which also featured on the hush hush EP, and is accompanied by an apt video of Sunset Sons being on the actual road.
I can not believe that I haven't already posted this. I know I said that last week but I genuinely thought I'd already tbt'd this song. A few searches later and it would appear not. I wanted 'Everything' to be so huge, and it just didn't make it which to this day still leaves me really gutted and mildly infuriated. I think that this is dance meets pop at its finest, and although the video is too peculiar for words, the song is fantastic. Another sad story of the music industry.
We have another 'Love Myself' case on our hands, a song that I didn't think was that great until I saw other people talking about how great it is. I think maybe it's just not what I expected from Snakehips. I do feel very Alessia Cara 'Here' about this track in that it just GETS ME. I really hope that there's a video for 'All My Friends' and that it's as perfect as 'Here's video was.
*EDIT* Since posting (on Friday) this has all changed and the track below is only the first minute and a half of this song... so you know, listen to it on your preferred music service...
Delilah? Delilah… is that really you? This is not how I thought we'd hear new material from Delilah but I'm so glad it is. I've been obsessed with mysterious ensemble Ritual for a while now, and their wispy eerie vibes. The more I think about it, there's probably absolutely no one better in the entire world that they could have collaborated with than Delilah.

This past weekend I had the chance to use my shiny new VFR/IFR checkout in the new Diamond DA40XL on an overnight cross country flight to Iowa with my family (minus the dogs). Get the details of the flight including lessons learned after the jump.
Today I had my first flight and VFR portion of my checkout in N793US, a 2007 Diamond DA40 XL. I plan to post an in-depth review of the airplane after I complete my IFR checkout and do a XC flight back to Iowa next weekend. In advance of a more detailed write-up, I want to say that this was the most enjoyable flight in an airplane I have ever experienced!!! I've got time in various Cessna models, Piper models as well as a few others and this airplane was awesome to fly! It is a very light weight and fast airplane that would be a good transition to some of the faster, and more complex singles out there — however, you won't find better fuel efficiency!
I hope KCAC has more of these planes on order because these composite airplane manufactures are on to something with their light weight, fuel efficient and technically advanced aircraft!
Was so excited yesterday when I was looking around on the Diamond Aircraft site and discovered a local FBO (KCAC) had recently been selected as a Diamond distributor — Okay, so I was only moderately intrigued at this point; give me a second I'll get to the good part…the rest of the story after the jump.

Q: Why does the test command need escaping for ">"? From $ help test:

test: test [expr]
Evaluate conditional expression.
Exits with a status of 0 (true) or 1 (false) depending on
  the evaluation of EXPR.  Expressions may be unary or binary.  Unary
  expressions are often used to examine the status of a file.  There
  are string operators and numeric comparison operators as well.

I'm a bit confused as to what expr can supposedly contain. The help page for test indicates that it is a conditional expression, consisting of file, string or numeric operators. So how does the string comparison operator cause unwanted file re-direction?
$ [ "a" > "b" ]
$ ls -la
-rw-rw-r--  1 user user     0 May 28 17:22 b

I understand that to prevent re-direction I need to escape >, but I'm confused why. It's not like I can place any command as the expr:
$ [ echo "hello" ]
bash: [: echo: unary operator expected

As far as I can make out from the help text test only evaluates pre-defined operators in expr - file re-direction not being one of them. test/[ are only meant to evaluate conditional expressions - I'm limited to only the operators that test accepts, and arguments it accepts with them.
(For comparison, with the following built-in there is no confusion as to what > means and no escaping is necessary):
$ echo $[2>1]
1

So what is interpreting > as re-direction meaning escaping is needed?

A: test is an ordinary command, not special syntax, and as such undergoes the same processing as any other command.
[ "a" > "b" ]

is just a (overly) clever synonym for
test "a" > "b"

and so > is interpreted as an output redirection before the arguments to test are identified. The exact same command can be written
[ "a" ] > "b"

To prevent the shell from recognizing > as the redirection operator, it must be escaped.
[ "a" \> "b" ]  # or [ "a" ">" "b" ]

The other example you gave, $[2>1] is special syntax (not simply a built-in command), and so doesn't undergo the same processing. $[...] is an obsolete, no-longer-documented, form of arithmetic expansion, equivalent to $((2>1)). As special syntax, the shell parses the contents of $[...] different than it would an ordinary command.

A note on ]. test is a regular command, and so is responsible for interpreting its arguments as it sees fit. The following are all syntactically correct:

*

*test a \> b

*test a \> b ]

*[ a \> b

*[ a \> b ]
However, only 1 and 4 are semantically correct. When used as [, the final argument must be ] to maintain the illusion of [ ... ] as merely "grouping" the expression.
$ [ a \> b
bash: [: missing `]'

When used as test, ] is not a valid part of an expression at all, and must be omitted.
$ test a \> b ]
bash: test: too many arguments

The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are well-known and range from lowering the risk of heart disease to protecting cognitive function. New research suggests that supplements of the unsaturated fat may have an additional benefit: they may lower the risk of childhood asthma.
A supplemental intake of fish oil during pregnancy may significantly reduce the risk of asthma in children.
Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the two major classes of polyunsaturated fat. They can be found in certain foods like flaxseed and fish, as well as in dietary supplements such as fish oil.
So far, research has indicated that omega-3 fatty acids - when consumed directly from food - have a variety of health benefits. A moderate consumption of seafood has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and has also been associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia.
A weekly consumption of at least 8 ounces of seafood by pregnant women also seems to improve health outcomes in their infants.
A new study - carried out by the Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood (COPSAC) research center in Denmark, in collaboration with the University of Waterloo, Canada - suggests an additional health benefit: reducing the risk of childhood asthma.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 6.3 million children in the United States under the age of 18 - or 8.6 percent of all U.S. children - currently have asthma.
As the CDC report notes, the prevalence of asthma has increased in the U.S. over the last decade, and the disease is currently at its highest level.
The authors of the new study hypothesized a link between the rising numbers of children affected by asthma in Western countries and the low levels of anti-inflammatory omega-3 in their diet. The researchers therefore examined the effect of omega-3 supplements in pregnant women on the risk of wheeze and asthma in their offspring.
Prof. Stark and team selected 736 pregnant women who were 24 weeks into the gestation period. They randomly administered some of the women a daily dose of 2.4 grams of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) in the form of fish oil. The control group received a daily dose of olive oil as a placebo.
The LCPUFAs included eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These can be found in coldwater fish and are crucial for regulating the human body's immune response.
The researchers used rapid analytical techniques to measure EPA and DHA levels in the blood of pregnant women. Prof. Stark, who led the testing procedures, explains the benefits of using such a method.
"Measuring the levels of omega-3 fatty acids in blood provides an accurate and precise assessment of nutrient status. Our labs are uniquely equipped to measure fatty acids quickly, extremely precisely, and in a cost-efficient manner."
The mothers' offspring formed the 2010 COPSAC cohort, and they were followed for 5 years - the age at which asthma can be clinically diagnosed.
During the 5-year period, researchers monitored the children's health for asthma and persistent wheeze, as well as respiratory tract infections, asthma complications, eczema, and sensitization to allergens.
In total, the clinical trial included 695 children, 95.5 percent of whom completed a 3-year, double-blind follow-up period.
The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The results of the study seem to confirm the authors' hypothesis.
"We've long suspected there was a link between the anti-inflammatory properties of long-chain omega-3 fats, the low intakes of omega-3 in Western diets and the rising rates of childhood asthma. This study proves that they are definitively and significantly related."
The study revealed that pregnant women who took the daily dose of LCPUFA during the third trimester reduced their children's risk of developing asthma or persistent wheeze by almost 31 percent.
The treatment group had a 16.9 percent risk of persistent wheeze or asthma, compared with 23.7 percent in the control group. This corresponds to a relative risk decrease of 30.7 percent.
The blood tests also revealed that the supplements most benefited the women who had low levels of EPA and DHA at the beginning of the study. The supplements reduced the risk of asthma in their children by 54 percent.
The n-3 LCPUFA supplements were also associated with a decreased risk of lower respiratory tract infections, but they did not seem to have any effect on asthma exacerbation, eczema, or allergic sensitization.
The authors highlight the contribution of their study to asthma treatment and prevention options.
"The proportion of women with low EPA and DHA in their blood is higher in Canada and the United States compared with Denmark. So we would expect an even greater reduction in risk among North American populations. Identifying these women and providing them with supplements should be considered a front-line defense to reduce and prevent childhood asthma."
"Asthma and wheezing disorders have more than doubled in Western countries in recent decades," adds Prof. Bisgaard. "We now have a preventative measure to help bring those numbers down."

• Panama City - Bella Vista - Panama
Dec. 19, 2008 - PRLog -- This classic car for sale is located in the Republic of Panama Central America. However, since Panama has mayor ports that ship world wide it is easy to send this car any where in the world. The vehicle has a powerful 8 cylinder engine (Corvette) and works perfect. Anyone interested can contact me to the e mail provided on this press release or call me 00 (507) 6617 6974.
Here is a bit of history on this Excalibur car.
This four seater convertible is the original neo-classic Excalibur. Based on the 1928 Mercedes 540k, the Excalibur has a rich history in servicing America's elite. The Excalibur began as a concept car in 1963. It attracted so much attention that it soon went into production.
Today the Excalibur is only made by order and can cost in excess of $200,000 US! Very few cars were ever made, Excalibur Cars' peak production was 367 cars in one year. This low figure ensured that high standards could be kept and each vehicle be made with care.
Magnificent design and a powerful Chevy V8 bring the best of both worlds to the passenger, combining luxury with performance to create a truly unique experience.
About Roberto Duran;
In 2002, he was chosen by The Ring Magazine to be the 5th greatest fighter of the last 80 years.[2] He held world titles at four different weights - lightweight (1972-79), welterweight (1980), junior middleweight (1983-84) and middleweight (1989). He was the second boxer to have fought in five different decades. Mamby became the first boxer in history to compete in five decades. Two weeks later, Roberto Duran became the second fighter to do it.
He finally retired in January 2002 at age 50 (having previously retired in 1998) following a bad car crash in October 2001, with a professional record of 119 fights, 103 wins with 70 KOs. Up until the second Ray Leonard fight, he was trained by legendary boxing trainer Ray Arcel.

Doing well. Glad to talk to you again!
Can you talk to us more about your song "The Drugs That Didn't Last Forever"?
No matter what else I write or sing, it's always my favorite. There's a lot of directions it can go musically when I play it live.
I was on a train between Amsterdam and Antwerp and there was a couple across the aisle from me that looked completely burned out, like Amsterdam had chewed them up and spit them out. Then I was in Paris on Valentine's Day, and it was pouring rain and I had a nasty hangover. Over the course of the visit, the stories just combined naturally.
I may just take my iPhone and shoot something. My son likes doing YouTube videos of mundane stuff, like his video games or when he buys new shoes or something, so maybe I'll have him do it. He'll work cheap.
The single comes off your new album Premiere. Farewell – what's the story behind the title?
Originally, I was going under the impression that I would walk away from the solo thing at any time, but I'm probably sticking with it for the foreseeable future, so the title is a bit facetious.
To be honest, I can barely remember it. The folks I worked with did such a great job, but I don't remember specifics. Sometimes, I'm not a reliable narrator of the process.
What role does New England play in your writing?
It never used to, but while writing the next batch of songs New England, the places and people have come charging forward. There's a whole side of New England that people who aren't from here don't know about. There's so much character to explore.
How Uncle Tupelo and The Replacements has influence your music?
Farrar, Tweedy and Westerberg are such amazing songwriters. Uncle Tupelo brought the roots music my family listened to in touch with the punk and alternative music I loved. The Replacements were such a perfect band for the time. Everything in rock and roll was so clean and shiny, and here was the band that was falling all over themselves and doing everything wrong. I could relate to them more than I could some hair-metal band. When those guys wrote songs, I believed every word they said.
I always just hung around in the background and finished lyrics and melody separate from the rest of the band and then introduce it once they got everything settled. Working on my own takes a lot longer, because I'm concocting the music and the lyrics, so they're born together like twins. I still tend to hold lyrics off as long as I can.
Lately, it's just telling stories, exploring characters, shining a light in a dark place. Those are the most fun songs to write.
I got a hold of a Hammond B3 organ, so my latest project is trying to wrestle pleasing sounds out of it. I'm at the "making strange noises" part of the learning process. No place to go but up!


Rapid Tac Application Fluid allows installers more control over their applications than ever before. A task which could take hours can now be accomplished in minutes. Using Rapid Tac Application fluid can allow a large graphic to be installed with one person, where two people were required to perform the same installation dry.
Rapid Tac Application Fluid also cleans the surface without leaving residues ensuring a contaminant free installation. It then helps to "float" the vinyl film until it is properly positioned. Rapid Tac Application Fluid's best feature is that it effectively breaks the surface tension of the adhesive on the film allowing it to flow and bond to the substrate more effectively than even a dry application.
It is now possible to achieve a full bond in as little as 90 seconds.

With inspiring cases, he shows how VanBerlo, together with clients, approaches business cases in an unorthodox manner. An innovative approach that results in products, services or a product-service hybrid that puts the end user at the center. Edwin Schenk, Director Business Development of the Dutch Design Foundation, discusses the added value of designers for the business during his lecture.
New this year are the inspiring break-out sessions that are scheduled after the plenary part. Visitors can already sign up for this in advance and the program can thus be even better aligned with their specific interests or business ambitions. The range is wide: from a session on how innovative thinking can strengthen a company, a presentation on the possibilities of digital textile printing in interior design and a workshop on wall coverings to a session on creating height effects using Canon technologies - software solutions and a demonstration of the Océ Colorado 1640 from Canon.
"The interior market is an interesting growth market, in which print is playing an increasingly important role. The trend towards the personalization of various applications leads to a growing demand for exclusive, tailor-made products for inter alia interior decoration. This offers fantastic growth opportunities for organizations that want to expand their existing sales market ", says Job Frans, Channel Manager Industrial & Production Solutions of Canon Netherlands. "During the fifth edition of 'Interior innovations with print', we once again give visitors a picture of the many possibilities that print in interior has to offer. We offer them a tailor-made program, which enables them to really discover the opportunities for their business.
Participation in 'Interior innovations with print' is free.

September news from Beg Steal Borrow »
Letters to Ariadne World Premiere
By wjrcbrown
Letters to Ariadne will enjoy its world premiere at the Validate Yourself Film Festival in New York on 2 September 2017.
The screening will take place at 2pm at the Hotel RL by Red Lion, Brooklyn Bed-Stuy,
1080 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11221.
The film is comprised of a series of video-letters from director William Brown to his niece Ariadne as he travels around the world.
To this end, Letters to Ariadne features letters from places as diverse as England and Scotland, Canada and the USA, Italy, France, Mexico, Sweden, Macedonia and China.
The film is partly indebted to a Brown Fellowship that William won from the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas, to spend a month at the house of the late artist and photographer, Dora Maar, in Ménerbes, France.
The screening follows a busy summer for Beg Steal Borrow. Not only have they shot both Sculptures of London and This is Cinema, while also continuing to work on The Benefit of Doubt, #randomaccessmemory and Vladimir and William, but there have also been screenings of Circle/Line (at the East End Film Festival) and The New Hope, Roehampton Guerrillas (2011-2016), Ur: The End of Civilization in 90 Tableaux and Selfie (at the Straight-Jacket Guerrilla Filmmaking Festival).
The Validate Yourself Film Festival is an annual festival run by filmmaker Antoine Allen, whose Life is Too Short was completed in 2015.

The Wednesdays JB Floyd Ballroom Group Class studied the Tango and the Swing.
We get together every Wednesday at 12 noon and this week we went a little bit further with our Tango, reviewing the basic, the promenade and adding something new – the open break and right side pass. I am very pleased with how my students are handling the Tango, their footwork and timing are very accurate.
At the half hour we switched to the Swing, and keeping with our Aretha Franklin theme we danced to her hit ' Chain of Fools'. 'Chain of Fools' is a great song with a steady beat and some very cool changes – really enjoyable song to study our East Coast Swing. One of the patterns that we focused on with the Sliding Doors, concentrating on the lead and follow.
A successful study in Tango and Swing – I am very happy with our progress today.
Just click on the pic below and you too can Tango.

Lion Country Safari dedicated to protecting and preserving rare rhino population
Posted: 10:14 AM, Nov 27, 2019
By: T.A. Walker
Lion Country Safari, the drive-through animal adventure park in western Palm Beach County, is on a mission to keep the endangered southern white rhinoceros species alive.
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Lion Country Safari, the drive-through animal adventure park in western Palm Beach County, is on a mission to keep the endangered southern white rhinoceros species alive.
The facility's newest Rhino is baby Bash. David Backus, the Preserve Lead Keeper at Lion Country Safari, loves spending time with this adorable animal.
"There you go, you're down," Backus said as Bash's rear-end hit the ground during one of their playful sessions together.

Zoo spokesperson Haley Passeser said the spunky rhino loves playing in mud puddles.
"When it rains, he runs through the puddles, full steam ahead," giggled Passeser.
Bash was born at Lion Country Safari on Sept. 26 weighing more than 100 pounds.
"He will gain 1,000 pounds in his first year," said Passeser.
Bash is very unique because breeders have a really difficult time breeding even one or two generations of rhinos in captivity, let alone three. At 52 years old, his grandfather, Buck, is the oldest living rhino in North America.
"All five rhino species are generally decreasing overall," said Backus.
It takes around 15 months for a calf to be born. And only a few are delivered each year across North America.
"So every birth is very significant," said Passeser.
🦏 SPECIAL COVERAGE: Taste and See South Florida 🦏
Poaching is the chief cause of the species' dwindling numbers. Some people falsely believe the rhino's horn is an aphrodisiac.
The International Rhino Foundation said a rhino will be killed every 10 hours. That's why, for the keepers at Lion Country Safari, their work to keep the population from going extinct is especially meaningful.
"It's just not a safe environment, unfortunately," said Passeser when talking about poaching. She added if poaching stopped, maybe someday these rhinos could be released back into the wild.
As Bash grows, you can find him and his mom Anna in the maternity pen. Lion Country Safari is waiting for Bash to mature and bond with his mom before he joins the rest of the herd and gets big enough to stand up to the bullying zebras.
Bash and Buck aren't the only unique rhinos in the zoo's care.
Liisa is a rhino who's approaching her six-year anniversary this week of her cancer diagnosis.
Clowning around! Rhino Liisa trying to get "extra" treats! 🦏@LionCountry pic.twitter.com/Go8sxysNIV
"We had to remove about two thirds of her horn," said Training and Enrichment curator Kimberlee Wuenstel.
Liisa was diagnosed with a cancer called fibromyxosarcoma. It's so rare that keepers said it's only been seen in two other rhinoceros in the world.
"In order to treat it, we had to remove [her horn] in stages," said Wuenstel.
The cancer was discovered during a radiograph session that Lion Country Safari does every few months. The keepers routinely weigh the rhinos, administer medications in their hump, draw blood through veins in their ears, and take X-rays of the 4,000 pound mammals.
"Come on, target," Wuenstel said to Liisa during an afternoon activity session. The rhino knows if she touches the target and holds in place for 10 to 15 seconds, her keeper, Daniel Soler, will reward her with food.
While WPTV was at Lion County Safari, Liisa held her head in place until she heard her trainer use a bridge (audio cue) to release her head back down to the ground.
"Good," said Wuenstel.
"Her horn is growing back," said Passeser gleefully. "We weren't sure if it would grow back."
Keepers build trust with the rhinos by routinely touching their ears and getting them used to the interaction so that when it's time to do a procedure, they are used to the stimulation.

Q: How to force cloudflare to cache api which it keeps categorizing as CF-Cache-Status: DYNAMIC? I am trying to cache an api get request that produces json - using cloudflare by page rules : Cache Everything with Edge Cache TTL > 0.
No matter what I try - I am unable to get past: CF-Cache-Status: DYNAMIC!
Referring to the documentation of page rules I even tried a sample xml file - but the same issue persists.
Page rule:

https://.com:8443/cache_*
Cache Level: Cache Everything

Using cf workers too - availed no result. The api is being served by Spring Boot, have tried virtually all combination of headers. What am I doing wrong?

A: You'll want to read up on how to use Cache-Control header, as this will enable you to control the caching behavior on file types that Cloudflare would not normally cache -
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/about/cache-control
There are some cases where Cloudflare will never cache the response (for your safety) however. For example, if the server is returning a Set-Cookie response header.

A: Oops! I was using an unsupported port. Apparently 8443 in NOT supported for caching.
This was pointed out by M4rt1n at cloudflare forum:
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/unable-to-cache-json-api-with-page-rules-stays-at-dynamic/322632/4
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/218411427 > only port 80, 8080 & 443 supported for caching.
Cloudflare would have simply said - "8443 is not supported for caching" when i was trying to add the page rule with cache everything

Residents offered an employment BOOST
Published: 8th January 2020
Barnet Council's BOOST employment support agency has opened a branch in a third location to help more residents overcome obstacles to finding jobs in 2020.
The BOOST team are looking forward to helping more people find work in 2020.
BOOST was launched in 2015, and two years later, a second BOOST was launched in Childs Hill. A third has now been opened in South Friern Library, where it is open to the public from 10am-5pm on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month.
The BOOST teams help people from across the borough find employment, whether it's by helping them improve their CVs and interview techniques, or their health and wellbeing. They also help residents find job, training and volunteering opportunities and provide advice on issues including housing, benefits and debt. What's more, once they've helped people find work, they give them the advice and support to thrive in their new jobs.
Since its launch in 2015, BOOST has helped more than 850 Barnet residents find employment. A current average of 17 people per month are supported to find work through the employment support service – a figure that it hopes to increase.
The Leader of Barnet Council, Councillor Dan Thomas, said: "I'm delighted that so many residents of the borough have been able to find meaningful employment through our BOOST scheme. Our new venture in South Friern Library will help even more people seize the opportunity to find and succeed in the jobs that are right for them. We're proud to be able to help people back into work – whatever their circumstances may be. Come to BOOST, and we will help you find employment."
The Burnt Oak BOOST team is based at Burnt Oak Library, while the Childs Hill BOOST is based at 184 Cricklewood Lane in a small parade of shops. They are open from 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday. You can contact the Burnt Oak BOOST on 0208 3595600, and the Childs Hill BOOST on 0208 3597200.
The BOOST project is funded by Barnet Council working in partnership with Barnet Homes, JobCentre Plus, Future Path Development CIC, Cambridge Education, Barnet and Southgate College and local community organisations.


Voldermort: Origins of the Heir given the Greenlight by Warner Bros.
A trailer for the fan made film Voldermort: Origins of the Heir was released on the web on the 28th of May and has impressed many with its dazzling visuals, intriguing premise and all round great quality. Fans of the Harry Potter franchise are hyped.
Voldermort: Origins of the Heir is a non-canonical prequel to the Harry Potter series. The story follows a young Tom Riddle and depicts his first rise to power as Lord Voldermort.
It's been a bit of a rocky road for the independent film company, Tryangle, to get their project going. They originally took the project to Kickstarter, in 2016, to be crowdfunded. However, Warner Bros. put a stop to the project over an issue with copyright violations.
With Warner Bros. now allowing Tryangle to continue production under their specific conditions, the film is said to already be in post-production and scheduled for release, supposedly on Youtube, by the end of the year.
There has been no news on what the author of Harry Potter, J K Rowling, thinks about the whole affair.
Video games have been a passion of mine from the very first time I played one, at the age of five on Amstrad!( Never heard of it? It was an 80s thing) From then on, I developed a great love for video games and have always owned some form of console throughout each generation of gaming, from the NES to the PS4. Call me a casual if you like, I was probably gaming before you were even born, kiddo.

As Flipkart raises a billion dollars, e-commerce is set to explode
August 1, 2014, 10:46 AM IST TOI Edit in TOI Editorials, Edit Page, India, TOI
Times of India's Edit Page team comprises senior journalists with wide-ranging interests who debate and opine on the news and issues of the day.
Almost 15 years ago Jeff Bezos, founder of US online retail firm Amazon, said e-commerce was going to change the way the world shops. It has and in the process rained billions of dollars into India this year. Investment plans announced this week by homegrown Flipkart — founded by the Bansals who are former Amazon engineers — and Amazon itself show how fast India is changing.
Even as successive governments have agonized over allowing foreign investments in traditional retail, their online counterparts have piggybacked on the recent dramatic increase in access to internet through mobile phones among young Indians. And this is not restricted to metros. Flipkart, which has over 20 million customers, gets around half of its orders from mobile phones — up from just 5% a year ago. A combination of a relatively young population and exploding internet access are bound to attract a mix of money, technology and companies into India — perhaps even leapfrogging the retail stage. Innovative strategies can be designed even for products that customers would like to 'touch and feel' prior to purchase. In case of clothes, for example, customers can be given an option where they can try them out in their homes before purchasing them.
As sourcing, retailing and warehousing costs drop due to the Internet platform, this could be a bonanza for Indian consumers who've been hit hard by inflation. Indian e-commerce companies have raised foreign money through complicated structures, while Amazon operates in India as an online marketplace connecting local firms and customers. India has turned out to be Amazon's fastest growing market, while Flipkart displays commendable ambition to take Amazon on. Fears regarding e-commerce are misplaced. They have not hurt local businesses. Instead, they have helped many small firms, geographically restricted on account of limited resources, find a national market for their products.
When developments in India's e-commerce industry are juxtaposed to improvements in communications technology that will drive India's plans to bring every household into the formal financial sector, we may be on the cusp of unprecedented boom in this area. This week's announcements should catalyze NDA government to revisit old bugbears. Change makes its way into India regardless of politicians' desire to uphold the status quo. Technology on which e-commerce platforms are built has a lot of Indian contribution. It would be a shame to ignore it in India.
This piece appeared as an editorial opinion in the print edition of The Times of India.

Bach Cantatas Pilgrimage 2000
On Christmas Day 1999 a unique celebration of the new Millennium began in the Herderkiche in Weimar, Germany: the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists under the direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner set out to perform all of Johann Sebastian Bach's surviving church cantatas in the course of the year 2000, the 250th anniversary of Bach's death.
The cantatas were performed on the liturgical feasts for which they were composed, in a year-long musical pilgrimage encompassing some of the most beautiful churches throughout Europe (including many where Bach himself performed) and culminating in three concerts in New York over the Christmas festivities at the end of the millennial year.
It was a remarkable and rewarding experience for all who took part, as well as for the audiences who came to hear us in thirteen European countries and in New York. As both musical and spiritual pilgrims we became participants in a living process, a journey of discovery both physically and emotionally.
Most of the concerts were recorded by the ensemble's record label, Soli Deo Gloria, which was specifically created for that purpose and later released 27 volumes of live recordings from that year.
'When we embarked on the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage in Weimar on Christmas Day 1999 we had no real sense of how the project would turn out. There were no precedents, no earlier attempts to perform all Bach's surviving church cantatas on the appointed feast day and all within a single year, for us to draw on or to guide us. Just as in planning to scale a mountain or cross an ocean, you can make meticulous provision, calculate your route and get all the equipment in order, in the end you have to deal with whatever the elements - both human and physical - throw at you at any given moment.
With weekly preparations leading to the performances of these extraordinary works, a working rhythm we sustained throughout a whole year, our approach was influenced by several factors: time (never enough), geography (the initial retracing of Bach's footsteps in Thuringia and Saxony), architecture (the churches both great and small where we performed), the impact of one week's music on the next and on the different permutations of players and singers joining and rejoining the pilgrimage, and inevitably, the hazards of weather, travel and fatigue. Compromises were sometimes needed to accommodate the quirks of the liturgical year (Easter falling exceptionally late in 2000 meant that we ran out of liturgical slots for the late Trinity season cantatas, so that they needed to be redistributed among other programmes). Then to fit into a single evening cantatas for the same day composed by Bach over a forty-year span meant deciding on a single pitch (A = 415) for each programme, so that the early Weimar cantatas written at high organ pitch needed to be performed in the transposed version Bach adopted for their revival, real or putative, in Leipzig. Although we had commissioned a new edition of the cantatas by Reinhold Kubik, incorporating the latest source findings, we were still left with many practical decisions to make over instrumentation, pitch, bass figuration, voice types, underlay and so on. Nor did we have the luxury of repeated performances in which to try out various solutions: at the end of each feast-day we had to put the outgoing trio or quartet of cantatas to the back of our minds and move on the next clutch - which came at us thick and fast at peak periods such as Whitsun, Christmas and Easter.'
