Last week I spoke in front of a full house at the Royal Geographical Society, telling the story of the Transcaucasian Expedition and the future of the trail project. The talk was live-streamed on Youtube and is now available to watch in full.
This 45-minute talk will give you a complete picture of our work last year and a hint of what's to come in 2017 – with a few surprises thrown in for good measure.
I hope you enjoy it as much as the audience did on the night. Feel free to post any questions in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them!

Meet the 17-year-old prodigy chef who makes $160 10-course meals
Published Fri, Aug 5 2016 3:41 PM EDT
Marguerite Ward@forwardist
How one 17-year-old became a culinary prodigy
At age 10, Flynn McGarry started playing with knives in his parent's kitchen.
Just a year and a half later, he opened up Eureka, a pop-up restaurant in his mother's Los Angeles house that served $160 10-course meals and was frequented by celebrities and notable chefs.
"I've always learned better by just kind of throwing myself into the fire, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out," McGarry told CNBC.
Needless to say, McGarry, now 17, is not your average teenager. He is a Zagat 30-under-30 honoree and one of Time Magazine's most influential teens.

In 2014, after McGarry's home-based supper club became a big success, he expanded. Eureka relocated to Bier Beisl in Beverly Hills with the support of chef and owner Bernhard Mairinger. It then opened in New York with the help of family friend Carla Ruben, owner of Creative Edge Parties in the West Village.
World-class chefs became interested, and chef Daniel Humm took McGarry under his wing as an apprentice at Eleven Madison Park, a three-star Michelin-rated restaurant.
"I've always seen cooking as a creative outlet, so it was never something I started just for fun," McGarry told CNBC. "It was a matter of learning the techniques and then transitioning them into creative ideas I had."
When The New York Times Magazine featured the young chef's story in 2014, he secured a spot on the world's culinary stage. But he was so busy working, he didn't even have time to take stock of his success.
"When all of this was going on and The New York Times thing came out, I was working in a restaurant, and I didn't even really see it or read it for like two days because I was working," he said.
Eureka's pop-up locations are now closed, and McGarry is working on his next venture: opening a permanent brick-and-mortar location.
And he couldn't have done it without the support of his family.
"My parents have been undeniably supportive, and I probably could not have gotten this far if they were slightly smarter and like held me back," McGarry said. "But they've always had the same attitude of, 'Sure, go do it. If you really believe in yourself and want to do it, why not?'"
There's really nothing holding me back.
For McGarry, success means honing in on your passion and ignoring other people's opinions and doubts.
"There's really nothing holding me back, other than people's opinions, which is not a real thing," he said.
McGarry recently finished high school a year early after taking a state exam that allows for early graduation. He plans on opening a full-time location within the next three years.

College Alumni Data Are Breached by Hacker
By Robert TomshoStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
March 17, 2005 5:43 pm ET
BOSTON -- Boston College sent letters to more than 100,000 of its alumni warning them a hacker had breached a university computer system containing personal data including their Social Security numbers.
Boston College spokesman Jack Dunn said, however, that the college found no evidence any data was taken and believes the hacker was trying to use the college's machine to attack other computers.
The security breach was discovered by the college's technicians last week during a routine check of the on-campus computer system, which is connected to a phone bank used in fundraising activities. Mr. Dunn said the college took the computer offline, repaired the security breach and purged it of all Social Security numbers. The computer system involved is managed by a third-party vendor who Mr. Dunn declined to identify.
The college's letter told alumni it didn't believe their data had been taken but advised them to take precautionary measures such as notifying banks and credit bureaus. No alumni have called the college to report any related illegal activity, Mr. Dunn said. Some of Boston College's 137,000 alumni didn't receive the letter because their personal data wasn't stored on the computer involved, he said.
Boston attorney John J. Griffin, Jr., past president and a director of the Boston College Alumni Association, said he received one of the letters but wasn't concerned and hadn't heard much about it from other alumni.

Q: JQuery chained selects implementation I am a newbie as far as JQuery, AJAX & PHP are concerned and I am trying to build a form with chained selects that will provide initial data for a new mysql record.
I have downloaded the JQuery chained select remote plugin and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the data returned for the second select dropdown. The first dropdown is populated using another function and when the user selects a value from this dropdown, I want that value to be used as the search string for the second dropdown.
The code snippet for the main form is:
<?php

    </script>

<form action="" method="post">

Season:
<select name="season" id="mark">
<option value="">Select Season...</option>
<?php
$i = 0;
while ($i < count($showseason)){  // obtain seasons from getseason() function
?>
<option value="<?php echo $showseason[$i]; ?>">
<?php echo $showseason[$i]; ?> </option>
<?php
$i++;
} ?>
</select>
Competition:	<select name="competition" id="series">
<option value="">Competition type...</option>
</select>

The following is the code for the Mysql select (json.php)
<?php

include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/helpers.inc.php';
include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/db_connect.php';

try
{
    $result = $pdo->prepare("SELECT sideid, competition FROM pennantsides");
    $result->execute();

    echo json_encode($result->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC));

    }
catch (PDOException $e)
{
    $output = 'Error selecting records - Please contact your Site Administrator';
    include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/views/output.html.php';
    exit();
    }

A: Isn't it $('#mark').remoteChained("#series", "../models/json.php"); you're trying to do ?
Also, what's the content of the json file when you launch it on your browser (or via whatever GET method you use) ?

I have used Gene's Glass for window tinting and glass replacement. Gene's staff is always quick and professional and their prices can't be beat.
My husband took my car to genes to have my front two windows and my brow tinted. He was very impressed with the fast courteous service and the wonderful job they did.
Gene's glass shop saved me money and impressed me with their expertise and professionalism. They quoted me a windshield at the same price as their competitors, but did not have the extra fees attached to the price that the other competitors had. Saved me quite a bit of money. I was in and out of there in less than an hour. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will be going back there for window tinting soon.

The placement of a band to attain a tiny stomach pouch has been reported to produce early satiety in patients undergoing gastric banding. The adipocyte-derived hormone, leptin, has been shown to decrease both food intake and body weight. The aim of the present study was to assess the potential involvement of acute changes in leptin concentrations following laparoscopic adjustable silicone gastric banding (LASGB).
The study groups comprised obese male patients undergoing bariatric surgery by LASGB and overweight men undergoing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (NFd). Blood was drawn before surgery and 24 hours postoperatively for glucose, insulin and leptin measurements.
In both experimental groups, a statistically significant decrease was observed in pre- and postsurgery glucose (LASGB 111 +/- 8 vs 99 +/- 6 mg/dl, P < 0.01; NFd 107 +/- 7 vs 98 +/- 5 mg/d, P < 0.01) and insulin concentrations (LASGB 39.8 +/- 11.9 vs 32.9 +/- 10.3 U/l, P < 0.01; NFd 13.2 +/- 3.3 vs 12.2 +/- 2.9 U/l, P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed when the percent change from pre-surgery values was analysed between both groups. Following surgery, an increase in leptin concentrations was observed in the LASGB group (23.5 +/- 4.7 vs 37.5 +/- 6.8 micrograms/l, P < 0.001) whereas a small decrease was evident in the NFd patients (12.9 +/- 4.6 vs 8.9 +/- 2.2 micrograms/l, P < 0.01).
These findings strongly suggest that the short-term increase observed in plasma leptin concentrations following LASGB may play a key role in triggering an early satiety signal due to the modification of the gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology.


The cab pulled up outside a little restaurant on a corner of a main street in the less-desirable part of town. My heart sank. I remember people talking about this place and it sounded pretty rubbish. The front of the restaurant was wasn't up to much, it was old and tatty so I held out little hope for what was on the inside. Undaunted, my friend hopped out of the cab and headed for the front door. I stepped inside and it wasn't that much better… old fashioned, the décor gave the impression of not having been updated for about 20 years. My friend sat at our table and grinned "this is a great little place!" I wasn't so sure. Certainly, I felt totally overdressed.
The waiter came and handed us the menu's. I was slightly surprised to see a few things that I really like – but it was cheap, so I held out little hope of it actually tasting good. We ordered – I chose calamari for my starter followed by duck breast, my friend chose scallops followed by fillet steak. The wine we chose was alright, drinkable at least, so we chatted and waited for our food. It took AGES for them to arrive. An hour later and I am beginning to lose hope of ever eating but then the waiter appears and our starters are plonked down in front of us – I have to say, 0 out of 10 for presentation, but good grief did my calamari taste good!! It was fresh, perfectly cooked and an absolute delight to eat. Sadly the service in between courses was lacking and by the time the main course arrived, we had been there almost 2 hours… but again, the food was amazing – my duck was the best I have ever tasted. I enjoyed every mouthful and couldn't believe how well cooked it was. My friends steak was a masterpiece too… tender, juicy and the sauce was to die for. Our deserts arrived very quickly – as soon as the main course had been cleared so it was quite unexpected!! We both chose the crème brulee and again, heaven in a pot. I couldn't believe how wrong everyone had been about this place, I was going to let everyone know that if you can handle the slow service, the food was so much of a treat that it makes the wait worthwhile!!
Utterly fictional of course, but a good way to explain about Seren, her diagnosis and the wrong impressions people have of Down's syndrome. Until you have experienced it, there is no way to explain how much joy a child with Down's syndrome can bring… look at her and judge her by her disability and you will never learn the truth of what amazing things she can achieve. It might take her a whole lot longer to reach her milestones, but boy oh boy it's worth the wait.
Here is one of my PMM's (proud mummy moments) – 24 hours after her first couple of crawling "steps", she is trying to master the art of forward movement (with a little help from a piece of chocolate). She was 13.5 months old.


ARCH9045 and ARCH9046 Dissertation 1 and 2 are only available to candidates with permission from an appropriate supervisor. Planning students should take PLAN9010 and PLAN9011 Planning Dissertations 1 and 2. Students enrol either full time over one semester (ARCH9045 and ARCH9046) or part time over two semesters (ARCH9045 then ARCH9046). The units are not assessed separately - a single dissertation is required. The appointment of a supervisor will depend on the topic chosen for the dissertation by the student. Students and their supervisors should complete an Independent Study Approval form and return it to the Student Administration Centre to effect enrolment. The aim of the dissertation is to train the student in how to undertake advanced study. The student should learn how to examine published and unpublished data, survey and experimental results, set objectives, organise a program of work, analyse information, evaluate this in relation to existing knowledge and document the work; and to allow the student to pursue an area of interest in greater depth than is possible in coursework or to investigate an area of interest which is not covered in coursework. The dissertation will normally involve a critical review of published material in a specified subject area, but it may also be an experimental or theoretical investigation, a feasibility study, a case study, a computer program, or other work demonstrating the student's analytical ability. The dissertation should be 15,000 to 25,000 words in length. The dissertation should contain a literature review, a research methodology, analysis of data, a discussion of results and conclusions. The dissertation will be judged on the extent and quality of the student's work, and in particular on how critical, perceptive and constructive the student has been in assessing his or her own work and that of others. Three typed A4 sized copies of the dissertation are required to be presented for examination. These may be in either temporary or permanent binding. If in temporary binding they must be able to withstand ordinary handling and postage. The preferred method is "perfect binding"; spring back, ring back or spiral binding is not permitted. Students are required to submit one copy in permanent binding on acid free paper for the library, including any emendations recommended by the examiners. For more details see the requirements for the PhD thesis in the Postgraduate Research Studies Handbook. Dissertations are due at the end of the first week of exams for the semester in which you are enrolled for Dissertation 2. The assessment is based solely on the submission of your dissertation. The dissertation is generally marked by two examiners.
Unit of Study coordinator: An academic supervisor is required. Discuss with your program coordinator.


Yet another trick in my graphics tutorial collection, this time about creating a postage stamp with Inkscape.
And, as I believe people are already used to, a Romanian translation.
I do graphics for fun (I'm not a pro neither a good graphic!!!) but I've learned a lot from your tutorials.
Such positive feedback is what keeps me working and publishing more, thanks!
Nice work! It really helps me to learn Inkscape by following a tutorial for a "real" project, not just abstract instructions.
Aside from always showing how to do something in particular, your tutorials always teach me new ways of looking at Inkscape.
Once again an awesome tutorial!
keep these awesome tuts coming mate!
Ryan, that was a though decision: show 3 different imperfect techniques or make a decision, choose one and stay with it.
In the end I considered showing 3 ways is a better Inkscape lesson as it cover more areas even if it does not stand up well as a one-shot tutorial.
Ovidiu, I am glad to hear my tutorial was useful for a real project.
Brilliant stuff... One of those things that's so simple once someone points it out to you, but you'd never think up on your own.
Thats unfair! :-) I had the idea first, but did not puplish my made stamps.
BTW you made great looking stamps, probably better than mine. Yours look really professinal. Scared that someone will print them out and put them on a post card? I had those thoughts.
Thanks for the information, it is very useful. I visited a site and it's also cool, I'd like to share this site with you www.2-clicks-stamps.com , please check this one out!
Probabil ca sint mai regulate: se poate aplica aceeasi tehnica dar putin mai migalos decit am facut eu in tutorial si cred ca poate sa iasa destul de bine.
I got stuck at the point path difference. I went to the path menu and selected difference but nothing happened. It's a pity since I really wanted to make the stamp.
When applying difference both the contour and the base rectangle are selected? It should work.
I finally got it to work using the second method. It does not look as good as yours but it' also not bad. I learn a little more each time I make a new one. Will move on to try and make a rubber stamp. Thanks for being so helpful.
Got stuck with the rubber stamp tutorial after the point where I made a union between the circles and the text. I marked it up with the calligraphy pen but the intersection, simplify did not work. Are there any steps missing?
Maybe you should do some un-grouping?
I discovered Inkscape a few days ago and your blog just today. I really enjoyed your tutorial on buttons and this one on postage stamps. I'm going to make some for my daughters.
This is cool (even if I am not making it work exactly). Here's what I would like to do and maybe you have a better idea of how to do it? I want to set up a box in Inkscape that will be sent to a laser cutter. So I want box joints, like the stamp perforations but square and interlocking. Would you do it with one of these methods or do you have a more clever way?
How about drawing some rectangles, one large (a wall) and some other smaller (the joints) and use "align and distribute" like "relative to: biggest item" and "align sides of objects relative to right side of anchor". And the other walls can be created with boolean operations (difference).
Yes, I came to that conclusion, but now just need to make it work ;-) I'm clumsy at this stuff. Perhaps another tutorial for you, in any case.
Eureka, or something like it! I got it working: had some grouped items that were causing the Union operation to fail. This is much easier/quicker than doing it in sketchup and then exporting to inkscape as I saw elsewhere.
You can make box joints pretty quickly with the union and difference commands: difference makes the inset parts (the groove) and union makes the part that fits the groove. Is InkScape scriptable/automatable? Sharper minds than mine could probably make a box generator: parameters would be the dimensions of the box, the thickness of the material and the number of joint/fingers to make (or their width and let it figure out how many).
Thanks for the tips. I gotta see what else you have here.
There are a number of extensions using Inkscape in a scripted way, LPE is probably strongest, and I believe Python is the language of choice for that.
You have done some incredible work on these tutorials. I have transposed many of them at www.wikihow.com and they required very little work to fit wH format!
nicu felicitaciones desde ciuda dbolivar antioquia colombia, por estos consejos, excelente, gracias mijo y para adelante.
Excellent tutorial; I was looking for a open-source replacement to Corel Draw Suite, for light, quick projects...Inkscape is a nice alternative. Keep up the good job. As a suggestions, you should put your tutorials in Youtube.
Your tutorial is great, my question is what program are you using to create these perfs. Forgive my ignorance, I am not a graphic artist, rather. I am documenting all the different combination of perfs catalog#, date of issue, perf gauge and other relevant information. Please help me to draw the different combinations of perfs and straight edges.
@Vijay: this is an Inkscape tutorial, so obviously Inkscape was used to create the drawing.
A svg file would be time saver.
Thank you for sharing your expertise with the rest of us. I really appreciate the multiple alternatives you provide and the very easy-to-understand explanations.
Thank you very much, your tutorial is absolutely amazing!


Tubbercurry boasts two of the most popular and successful festivals in the West of Ireland; the Summer School of Irish traditional music and a major theatrical festival held every year. These events attract large numbers of performing artists and cultural tourists from all over the world.
There is also an annual Fair Day held in Tubbercurry every August. There is usually a high attendance for this with many people coming from abroad. During this day, a stall can be hired out on the main square, where people sell goods. The square is closed to traffic along with the town's main street.
Despite its small size Tubbercurry, is renowned in the West of Ireland for night time entertainment. Several bars and restaurants, as well as traditional Irish pubs, form the main attraction for people who travel from all over the Connacht region.
Tubbercurry is centrally located on the N17-Sligo/Galway Road. It is 20 Miles from Sligo Town, 23 Miles from Castlebar (the County Town of Mayo) and 20 Miles from Boyle, County Roscommon.
Tubbercurry as a settlement place is on the map for over 600 years.
The earliest mention of Tubbercurry in the history annuals is 1397 when a battle took place there between two O'Connor families, the O'Connor Don from Roscommon and the O'Connors from Sligo town.
Tubbercurry celebrated its 600th birthday throughout the year of 1997 and this culminated with a visit to town by then President of Ireland Mrs Mary Robinson.
Mrs Robinson came to visit the Old Fair Day Festival in August 1997 and planted a tree in Wolf Tone Square to mark the occasion.
Over the last 600 years there has been a number of milestones in the history of Tubbercurry and events in the town reflected by and large events on a national scale.
The Famine Years of 1845 – 1847 were severe in South Sligo like other parts of the country and but for the help of a local merchant family, the Mullarkeys of Teeling St., things could have been a lot worse.
In the early 1840's the Mullarkey family owned a racehorse, 'Pride of Ballyara' and in their own words he won a large fortune for them racing in England over a number of years. They owned the land in Ballyara where St. Attractas Community School now stands.
ne'er meet his like again.
This headstone is still to be seen today in the old Ballyara graveyard and is well worth a visit. (entrance opposite St. Attractas Community School). After the Famine Years, political and agrarian reform followed the national trend. Charles Stewart Parnell spoke at a political rally in the 1880's in Tubbercurry.
Banada Convent was opened and developed at Banada from the 1860's and the Marist Convent in Tubbercurry was established after the Marist Sisters came to town in 1904.
The war of Independence and the Civil War was a turbulent time in Tubbercurry and the Black & Tans burned a large part of town in October 1st 1920 as a reprisal for the killing of an R.I.C. officer by the I.R.A. at Chaffpool.
Throughout the early decades of the 20th century as Ireland found the going tough as an independent country, Tubbercurry developed slowly but surely.
Agriculture was the main industry of the region and most activities were based around farming. The creameries of Rathscanlon and Achonry developed their butter making procedures and those that could not find work locally had to emigrate. This was the case all too often during those decades.
In 1955 Basta Industries was established by the Gallagher Brothers of Cashel and this breathed a whole breath of fresh air into employment opportunities locally.
James, Matt and Bert Gallagher were the main drivers of this industrial revolution in Tubbercurry. They also had building interests in England as rebuilding works had commenced after World War II.
Tool & Gauge was a sister company of Basta and both of these factories employed up to 400 people from the 1950's to the 1980's, people who otherwise would have had to emigrate. Since the 1980's as a result of restructuring, employment has dropped but still over 200 top quality jobs are provided by both Basta & Tool & Gauge.
Free education was introduced in the 1960's and this was a huge help for young people who wanted to get 2nd level and 3rd level education. As the decades rolled towards the 21st century South Sligo now has a highly skilled and highly educated population.
St. Attractas Community School opened in 2002 as a result of the amalgamation of Banada & Marist Convent Schools and is one of the finest second level schools in Ireland and possibly even in Europe.
Today, in the 21st Century Tubbercurry looks back with pride at its achievements over the years. The local Chamber of Commerce & Community Association continue to develop contacts around the world to attract people and business to our community. Housing developments on an unprecedented scale in Tubbercurry has seen the population of the immediate town grow from 1000 people to closer to 2000 over the last few years.

Hugh Stewart on a Lifetime of Portraiture
Feature Image by: Hugh Stewart
Hugh Stewart is known predominately as a celebrity photographer, and for his portraiture. He's photographed a lot of celebrities over his career, but a few stand out. "Three of them cross over into my fathers generation — and I feel like they've been around all my life — Paul Newman, Michael Caine and Clint Eastwood."
Hugh shot Michael Caine three times, Paul Newman he shot twice, and Eastwood once. They were all low-key; they didn't come with a team, or a cavalcade of black SUV's, or publicists.
Michael Caine on the set of The Quiet American in Hanoi, Vietnam.
For Michael Caine, Hugh flew to Vietnam to shoot stills on a film he was in. He saw him every day for a couple of weeks.
Paul Newman drove himself, in a beaten-up old Mercedes, to the theatre company location in Westchester. He was wearing his Rolex Daytona. He was cool. He wasn't interested in the stylist. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Hugh remembers him questioning. So, Hugh shot him as he was. "He was a little disengaged — he was older and had just been diagnosed as being quite ill."
Paul Newman outside the Westport Country Playhouse Theater in Westport, Connecticut.
Hugh travelled to Carmel, on the California coast, to photograph Clint Eastwood.
He rang up who he thought was Clint's publicist; she turned out to be his wife.
"Where do you want to shoot him?" she asked. Hugh responded, "In this field I found, at about 4pm tomorrow when the light is good." He also asked, "You haven't got an old car we can use?" — still thinking she was the publicist.
"You know what, he's still got the old truck from Bridges of Madison County, (1995). If you want to use that, we will leave it for you up at the top of the road. Pick it up and I'll make sure Clint is ready."
The next day as he waited at the location with Scott Roper, his assistant, Hugh saw a beaten-up old Mercedes chug down the dirt road.
"This old man got out and his pants were up to here." Hugh points to near the top of his stomach. "He was wearing a golf shirt; I had to take my shirt off and swap."
Clint Eastwood in his truck from Bridges of Madison County.
Clint turned up with a packet of crackers and a bottle of wine, and spent three hours with them talking about all the old films.
Hugh asked what he wanted him to do with the truck. "Just park it up there with the keys on the tyre and I'll pick it up tomorrow," was the response.
The day after the shoot they flew back to New York to photograph a celebrity chef, down in the meatpacking district. "Literally four black SUVs turned up to drop him off — he was on the food network!" Hugh remembers.
In his mind, Hugh's style has evolved, but not too much. "It's just become a lot tighter. There's something about the richness, the same sort of light, and the filmic quality of it — and also always trying to have a sense of narrative to the story — that hasn't changed."
"You're constantly trying to evolve. I think when you start out you're more interested in what your contemporaries are doing. Now I have no interest in that. I'm confident enough to know that I can produce good pictures. I can push it a little bit and they still look like mine."
When he looks back at portraits he took 20 or 30 years ago he feels "they sit quite well next to what I'm doing now.
Stephen Fry on the set of Bright Young Things, a film he directed in England.
Generally now clients come to Hugh wanting something similar to what they've seen of his before: "Now at least I'm my own inspiration," he says.
"The perception is that Annie Leibovitz is a best friend with every single person she has shot. The reality is that she probable only sees them when they come to the studio for a shoot and that's it. I'm exactly the same."
Getting the best out of people is second nature to Hugh. "You create an environment where they feel comfortable, and they don't feel you're threatening. They open up and you have these very honest discussions with them."
"I like it that I can walk into somebody's home and connect with them, that's my drug. It gives me energy."

Q: How to guarantee contents dimensions of WPF window are always the same regardless of window trim thickness? Using this image to clearly show the problem:
Red box background image
If I do this in Visual Studio...
Designer layout A
... the image gets clipped because the trim of the window is fatter at runtime than the pseudo-trim in VS designer:
Runtime dimensional change A
If I increase the window size in Visual Studio to look like this...
Designer layout B (with window size increased to match Windows 7 trim thickness)
... the result looks correct:
Runtime dimensions look correct... for Windows 7 trim thickness only
I've tried the same steps with and without a window Grid. The result is the same.
————
As a point of reference, macOS/Cocoa windows are defined by the size of their content area to avoid this problem.
In other words, if I set a window in Xcode to be 300 x 300, at runtime its content view frame will always be 300 x 300 regardless of how Apple changes the window trim dimensions from version to version of the OS.
————
What is the WPF method of achieving window-trim-agnostic content dimensions?

A: Use GetSystemMetrics to tell you the width and hight of the border to the window (via SM_CXSIZEFRAME & SM_CYSIZEFRAME) and add it to the size of window you are opening or resizing.

Dad and sons saved after boat takes on water

The last rays of light had just sunk beneath the horizon when Shaun Becker and his two boys were saved from a watery grave off Steep Point, near Shark Bay.
It was April and the Baldivis father had set out fishing from Shelter Bay about 3pm with sons Bryce, 12, and Kaiden, nine.
Mr Becker, a 44-year-old pilot, had ensured the small vessel was well stocked with safety equipment.
After 30 minutes or so, the seas had started getting rougher so he decided to head to a more sheltered spot.
Then the tide began to shift and a strong current started pushing the dinghy out to sea.
"Our weight distribution probably wasn't the best," Mr Becker recalled.
"By the time I realised what was going on, we had caught the crest of the next wave, and the boat took on water over the back.
"It never fully sank and didn't capsize, but the motor was submerged. We were sitting ducks."
Fearing for his sons more than himself, Mr Becker set off a flare and then activated an emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB).
A group of nearby cliff fisherman saw the flare and called police, who contacted the Shark Bay Volunteer Marine Rescue Group.
Commander Drew Wassman remembered getting the call about 4.45pm, followed by an EPIRB alert 15 minutes later.
"By 5.15pm we had four men on the boat and it was leaving for Steep Point, about 35 miles away," he said.
"The crew got to the area where the EPIRB was activated about an hour later; then they just used a bit of local knowledge to figure out which way the dinghy would have drifted. Within 10 minutes they'd come across them."
Mr Wassman, 57, said the trio had hit trouble near an island called Monkey Rock.
He said the situation would likely have ended in tragedy had volunteers not been so close at hand.
"They were heading north, north-west along the back of Dirk Hartog Island," he said.
"It's not a very nice spot out there. For about another 40 miles there's nothing but vertical cliffs.
"Once you go in there there's no escape and it's virtually certain death if you get washed into those cliffs."
Mr Wassman said the stricken trio were pulled aboard just as night fell. A search and rescue aircraft sent from Perth arrived about 10 minutes later.
"I think the aircraft would have been able to spot them, but someone still had to be there to get them out of the water before they went up on the back of the cliffs," he said.
"The wife was on shore and she was a bit frantic apparently. But they were in good health and spirits."
Mr Becker said the survival skills he had learnt as a pilot helped him keep his boys calm while they waited for help to arrive.
"My youngest didn't really know what the consequences were, whereas my 12-year-old had a good understanding of what had happened," he said.
"I tried to give them tasks, like reading the instructions before we set the flare and the EPIRB off, making sure we did it properly."
"I had tethered my orange safety kit to the boat to make us visible from the air at least, because it was starting to get dark."
Though all three had lifejackets, Mr Becker was forced to give up his own when one of his son's automatically inflating lifejackets failed to activate.
"My youngest son wanted to swim off; he said he could make it," he said.
"I had to explain to him that's the first thing you do not do. You huddle together and make yourselves as visible as possible. If it wasn't for the EPIRB I think we would've been in a lot of trouble."

Yara Shahidi gearing up for a 'Grown-ish' graduation
ByGeorge Pennacchio
<iframe width="476" height="267" src="https://abc7news.com/video/embed/?pid=11515043" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
'One thing that Zoey has taught me is that you can always recover.' Yara Shahidi and her fellow cast members of "Grown-ish" are wrapping up four years at California University and gearing up for the big decisions that go with graduation day.
HOLLYWOOD -- The cast members of "Grown-ish" are gearing up for graduation day. Senior year at California University is about to end, and that means lots of big life decisions for Zoey Johnson and her college friends.
Yara Shahidi, who plays Zoey, says she can relate to what her character is going through.
"I think I've gotten to the point where every decision feels so big that it's become small now. And I think to a certain extent, one thing that Zoey has taught me is that you can always recover," said Shahidi. "When you play a character that is constantly seemingly messing up, but somehow in there growing up too, I feel like it was an important thing for me to experience even if it was in fake college, because it's let me kind of move into my own life. And be okay, knowing that I'm going to make the best decision for me right now and know that there's still a future waiting if something goes awry."
This season, Zoey will face the tough choice of pursuing her dreams in the fashion world or being with her boyfriend Aaron, played by Trevor Jackson, as he chases his own goals. Jackson is happy the show has been shining a light on his generation's attempts to solve problems while also attempting to do good in the world.
"I want to save the world, change the world. What am I doing? What am I not doing? What can I do more of?" said Jackson. "And, you know, every time we tackle an amazing topic, I feel like I'm playing a part and doing my part in that and helping the world by creating a conversation that will create solutions to the issues."

"Federal laws to stop the bulldozing of forests could provide a lifeline for koalas which are on track to become extinct in New South Wales as early as 2050," said WWF-Australia CEO Dermot O'Gorman.
"Ending excessive tree-clearing would help the vast majority of Australia's threatened species," Mr O'Gorman said.
Australia is the only developed country on a list of the world's deforestation hot spots.
Mr O'Gorman said that the ALP's proposed new laws to control broad-scale clearing would also require mechanisms in place to enforce them, if our unique wildlife is to be saved.
WWF-Australia said other initiatives announced today were also positive.
"Labor's plan to cut the nation's emissions across the transport, manufacturing and energy sectors is a big step forward for Australia's role in tackling climate change," Mr O'Gorman said.
WWF-Australia's recently released policy, WWF's plan for Australia's iconic wildlife and oceans, highlighted that Australia needs to urgently reduce emissions by 45-55% by 2025 and by 65-85% by 2030, if we are to meet the Paris Agreement targets of keeping temperature rises to 1.5 degrees and well below 2 degrees.
WWF-Australia welcomed Labor's re-announcement of its commitment to 50% renewable energy for the electricity sector by 2030.
WWF-Australia has been calling for the major parties to adopt renewable energy targets of 100% renewable electricity by 2035, and this target is a positive step.

Won't Back Down
Concerned mother Jamie (Maggie Gyllenhaal), worried her dyslexic daughter's school is not meeting her needs, decides to take steps toward reforming it. She enlists the efforts of one of the school's excellent instructors (Viola Davis), and together they begin the arduous process of fighting the teachers' union, a process fraught with obstacles around every corner. As Jamie begins having some success, the clouds of opposition gather.
The PG Won't Back Down has a smattering of language that ClearPlay edits — about 10 instances. The ClearPlayed version still has some serious family drama — conflicts between parents and children. Although the material is appropriate for most audiences, the thematic elements are aimed at parents.
Does Won't Back Down get an 'A,' or will I be bored of education?…
Won't Back Down follows a very familiar underdog formula, with the usual sacrifices by the heroes, with the stakes rising and everything on the line. But it's sincere in its telling. The performances are believable, and even if the plotting becomes predictable, its heart is in the right place. Unless, of course, you're a member of a labor union, in which case you might find yourself siding with the movie's "villains."

Rated PG for thematic elements and language; 121 min; Directed By Daniel Barnz

SHANA POPLACK, LAUREN ZENTZ, NATHALIE DION
In this study, we investigate whether preposition stranding, a stereotypical non-standard feature of North American French, results from convergence with English, and the role of bilingual code-switchers in its adoption and diffusion. Establishing strict criteria for the validation of contact-induced change, we make use of the comparative variationist framework, first to situate stranding with respect to the other options for preposition placement with which it coexists in the host language grammar, and then to confront the variable constraints on stranding across source and host languages, contact and pre-contact stages of the host language, mainstream and "bilingual" varieties of the source language, and copious and sparse code-switchers. Detailed comparison with a superficially similar pre-existing native language construction also enables us to assess the possibility of a language-internal model for preposition stranding. Systematic quantitative analyses turned up several lines of evidence militating against the interpretation of convergence. Most compelling are the findings that the conditions giving rise to stranding in French are the same as those operating to produce the native strategy, while none of them are operative in the presumed source. Explicit comparison of copious vs. sparse code-switchers revealed no difference between them, refuting claims that the former are agents of convergence. Results confirm that surface similarities may mask deeper differences, a crucial finding for the study of contact-induced change.

Concurrent models and cross-linguistic analogies in the study of prepositional stranding in French in Canada
RICARDO OTHEGUY
Prepositions can be found with and without adjacent complements in many forms of popular spoken French. The alternation appears in main clauses (il veut pas payer pour ça ~ il veut pas payer pour "he doesn't want to pay for [it]") and, though with a more restricted social and geographic distribution, in relative clauses (j'avais pas personne avec qui parler ~ j'avais pas personne à parler avec "I had no one to whom to talk ~ I had no one to talk to"). In main clauses, the variant lacking the adjacent complement is said to have an orphaned preposition (il veut pas payer pour); in relatives, it is said to have a stranded preposition (j'avais pas personne à parler avec). In popular spoken French in Canada, stranding appears to be much more frequent than in other Francophone areas. Because so many French speakers in Canada are bilingual, because of the high frequency of stranding, and no doubt also because stranding violates prescriptive norms, stranded prepositions in French in Canada are widely believed to be instances of English influence (e.g. j'avais pas personne à parler avec is regarded as modeled on I had no one to talk to). But in a masterly variationist treatment, Poplack, Zentz and Dion (2011, this issue) argue that Canadian stranding is not of English origin. Stranded Canadian prepositions represent, instead, the expansion to relative clauses of the ordinary main-clause orphans. The historical source for Canadian stranding is thus analogy-induced and internal (French orphans), not contact-induced and external (not English stranding).
Benchmark varieties and the individual speaker: Indispensable touchstones in studies on language contact
MARTIN ELSIG
The authors of 'Phrase-final prepositions in Quebec French: An empirical study of contact, code-switching and resistance to convergence', Poplack, Zentz & Dion (2011, this issue), henceforth cited as PZD, make a strong case for showing that, in spite of surface similarities, preposition stranding in Canadian French relative clauses cannot be qualified as a case of grammatical convergence due to language contact with English, but that it rather turns out to be a result of analogical extension of a native French strategy, preposition orphaning, to a new context. The application of a particularly sound and accountable methodology, the comparative method of variationist sociolinguistics (Poplack & Meechan, 1998; Tagliamonte, 2002), allows them to invalidate the hypothesis of a causal relationship between contact and the phenomenon under study.
A milestone study: Structured variability as the key to unraveling (contact-induced) language change
RENA TORRES CACOULLOS
Despite increasing attention to bilingualism – conferences, publications, grants – linguists are as far as ever from reaching consensus. Is code-switching the alternation between two equally activated languages or is it the insertion of elements from a source language into a recipient language? Can and should we distinguish borrowing and code-switching of single words? Is there grammatical convergence between bilinguals' two languages and does code-switching promote it? Since the first accounts of the structure of code-switching in the 1970s, the same questions have been readdressed with astoundingly little, if any, cumulative advances. Scientific progress has been obstructed by polemic debate, often fueled by elicited judgments, which may display random error (Labov, 1996), or reports of the behavior of stray individuals, which are uninterpretable in the absence of knowledge of the systematic community pattern (Labov, 2006/1966, p. 5).
Another icon of language contact shattered
PIETER MUYSKEN
Ouh que c'est laid! "Oh this is ugly!" is one of the comments among the 11,800 hits on Google for the sequence "la fille que je sors avec" [the girl I go out with]. Often the comments include the idea that the whole expression has been taken from English as a direct calque. The authors of the present keynote article, Poplack, Zentz and Dion (Poplack, Zentz & Dion, 2011, this issue), argue convincingly that this type of preposition stranding in Canadian French cannot be ascribed to language contact with English. Using sound and accountable methodology, derived from the research paradigm of variationist sociolinguistics, they manage to disprove the hypothesis of a direct causal link between the expression in Canadian French and its supposed earlier use in English. Thus, an icon of language contact, both in popular perception and in many not-so-well-informed academic sources, has been shattered.
Preposition stranding and orphaning: The case of bare prepositions in French
GEORG A. KAISER
In their keynote contribution, Poplack, Zentz & Dion (henceforth PZD; Poplack, Zentz & Dion, 2011, this issue) propose an interesting "scientific test of convergence" (under section heading: "Introduction") which contains criteria to check whether a particular feature in a given language in contact with another one is due to language contact or not. This is a valiant endeavor with a laudable goal. It is valiant because the answer to this question requires a complex investigation of the languages at issue. It is laudable since it is commonly believed that a given feature of a language in contact with another one is the result of convergence. This belief however is, in general, only a mere conjecture due to superficial similarities of the features at issue, for which no empirical evidence is provided. Yet, there is no doubt that PZD accomplish their endeavor in an outstanding manner. Based on a thorough study of substantial data from Canadian French and Canadian English, they demonstrate in a convincing way how it is possible to reveal whether a given feature is contact-induced or not.
On the distinction between preposition stranding and orphan prepositions
YVES ROBERGE
Poplack, Zentz and Dion (PZD; Poplack, Zentz & Dion, 2011, this issue) examine the often unquestioned assumption that the existence of preposition stranding (PS) in Canadian French is linked to the presence of a contact situation with English in the North American context. Although this issue has been the topic of previous research from a syntactic perspective (Bouchard, 1982; Vinet, 1979, 1984), to my knowledge, it has never been explored using variationist sociolinguistic methods applied to a large corpus of spontaneous speech, with emphasis on code-switchers as potential agents of contact-induced change.
What counts as (contact-induced) change
We are most grateful to our commentators for their careful reading of our Keynote Article (henceforth KA) and their incisive observations on contact-induced change, and for the many challenging and thought-provoking issues they raise. We welcome the opportunity to respond to (some of) them, especially since, perhaps not surprisingly, these are symptomatic of the very issues in the field of contact linguistics that prompted us to write this KA in the first place.
Can native Japanese listeners learn to differentiate /r–l/ on the basis of F3 onset frequency?*
ERIN M. INGVALSON, LORI L. HOLT, JAMES L. McCLELLAND
Many attempts have been made to teach native Japanese listeners to perceptually differentiate English /r–l/ (e.g. rock–lock). Though improvement is evident, in no case is final performance native English-like. We focused our training on the third formant onset frequency, shown to be the most reliable indicator of /r–l/ category membership. We first presented listeners with instances of synthetic /r–l/ stimuli varying only in F3 onset frequency, in a forced-choice identification training task with feedback. Evidence of learning was limited. The second experiment utilized an adaptive paradigm beginning with non-speech stimuli consisting only of /r/ and /l/ F3 frequency trajectories progressing to synthetic speech instances of /ra–la/; half of the trainees received feedback. Improvement was shown by some listeners, suggesting some enhancement of /r–l/ identification is possible following training with only F3 onset frequency. However, only a subset of these listeners showed signs of generalization of the training effect beyond the trained synthetic context.
Stop consonant productions of Korean–English bilingual children*
SUE ANN S. LEE, GREGORY K. IVERSON
The purpose of this study was to conduct an acoustic examination of the obstruent stops produced by Korean–English bilingual children in connection with the question of whether bilinguals establish distinct categories of speech sounds across languages. Stop productions were obtained from ninety children in two age ranges, five and ten years: thirty Korean–English bilinguals, thirty monolingual Koreans and thirty monolingual English speakers. Voice-Onset-Time (VOT) lag at word-initial stop and fundamental frequency (f0) in the following vowel (hereafter vowel-onset f0) were measured. The bilingual children showed different patterns of VOT in comparison to both English and Korean monolinguals, with longer VOT in their production of Korean stop consonants and shorter VOT for English. Moreover, the ten-year-old bilinguals distinguished all stop categories using both VOT and vowel-onset f0, whereas the five-year-olds tended to make stop distinctions based on VOT but not vowel-onset f0. The results of this study suggest that bilingual children at around five years of age do not yet have fully separate stop systems, and that the systems continue to evolve during the developmental period.
Cross-language effects in written word recognition: The case of bilingual deaf children*
ELLEN ORMEL, DAAN HERMANS, HARRY KNOORS, LUDO VERHOEVEN
In recent years, multiple studies have shown that the languages of a bilingual interact during processing. We investigated sign activation as deaf children read words. In a word–picture verification task, we manipulated the underlying sign equivalents. We presented children with word–picture pairs for which the sign translation equivalents varied with respect to sign phonology overlap (i.e., handshape, movement, hand-palm orientation, and location) and sign iconicity (i.e., transparent depiction of meaning or not). For the deaf children, non-matching word–picture pairs with sign translation equivalents that had highly similar elements (i.e., strong sign phonological relations) showed relatively longer response latencies and more errors than non-matching word–picture pairs without sign phonological relations (inhibitory effects). In contrast, matching word–picture pairs with strongly iconic sign translation equivalents showed relatively shorter response latencies and fewer errors than pairs with weakly iconic translation equivalents (facilitatory effects). No such activation effects were found in the word–picture verification task for the hearing children. The results provide evidence for interactive cross-language processing in deaf children.
Acquisition of complement clitics and tense morphology in internationally adopted children acquiring French*
K. GAUTHIER, F. GENESEE, K. KASPARIAN
The present study examined the language development of children adopted from China to examine possible early age effects with respect to their use of complement clitics, lexical diversity and verb morphology. We focused on these aspects of French because they distinguish second language learners of French and native French-speaking children with language impairment from children learning French as a native language and, in the case of object clitics and certain verb tenses, are relatively late to emerge in native speakers. Thus, it might be expected that they would be susceptible to the delayed onset of acquisition of French experienced by internationally adopted children. Language samples of twelve adopted children from 3;6 to 4;8 living in French-speaking families were analyzed and compared to those of non-adopted monolingual French-speaking children of the same age, sex and socio-economic status. The adopted and control children had similar levels of socio-emotional adjustment and non-verbal intellectual abilities. The adopted children exhibited accelerated language development in general, and there were no significant differences between the internationally adopted and control children with respect to lexical diversity and verb tense. However, the adopted children made significantly more errors using complement clitics, and in particular object clitics, compared to the non-adopted children. The results are discussed in terms of possible effects related to delayed age of acquisition of French.
Cross-linguistic influence in French–English bilingual children's possessive constructions*
ELENA NICOLADIS
The purpose of this article was to test the predictions of a speech production model of cross-linguistic influence in French–English bilingual children. A speech production model predicts bidirectional influence (i.e., bilinguals' greater use of periphrastic constructions like the hat of the dog relative to monolinguals in English and reversed possessive constructions like *chien chapeau to refer to a dog's hat). In contrast, other explanations predict unidirectional influence from French to English. Possessive constructions were elicited from preschool French–English bilingual children as well as preschool French and English monolinguals within the same age range. The results showed bidirectional influence, consistent with a speech production model.
Coordinating comprehension and production in simultaneous interpreters: Evidence from the Articulatory Suppression Effect*
CAROLINA YUDES, PEDRO MACIZO, TERESA BAJO
This study aimed to investigate the capacity of coordinating comprehension and production processes and the role of phonological working memory in simultaneous interpreting. To this end we evaluated the Articulatory Suppression (AS) effect in three groups of participants, monolingual controls, students of interpreting and professional interpreters. Three variables were examined, the material to be studied (words, pseudo-words), the complexity of the articulations (simple, complex) and the articulatory rate (participants produced their speech at their own rate). Monolingual controls showed AS effect in all study conditions; students of interpreting showed AS effect in complex study conditions and professional interpreters showed AS effect only when they studied pseudo-words and produced complex articulations. These results suggest that coordinating comprehension and production processes in interpreters is mediated by the retrieval of lexical–semantic information and the distribution of the speech.
The relation between the working memory skills of sign language interpreters and the quality of their interpretations*
RICK VAN DIJK, INGRID CHRISTOFFELS, ALBERT POSTMA, DAAN HERMANS
In two experiments we investigated the relationship between the working memory skills of sign language interpreters and the quality of their interpretations. In Experiment 1, we found that scores on 3-back tasks with signs and words were not related to the quality of interpreted narratives. In Experiment 2, we found that memory span scores for words and signs under oral articulatory suppression were related to the quality of interpreted narratives. We argue that the insensitivity to articulatory suppression in memory span tasks reflects the interpreters' ability to bind information from multiple sources in episodic memory. This enhanced ability leads to less reliance on the retention of information from the source language in memory during interpreting, and will positively affect the quality of interpretations (Padilla, Bajo & Macizo, 2005). Finally, in contrast to previous studies on the memory spans for signs and words (Hall & Bavelier, 2010), we found that the memory spans scores for spoken words and signs were equally large. We argue that the use of a large set of phonologically complex stimuli in the present study may have stimulated participants to use a speech-based code to store and retain the signs in short-term memory.
The effect of bilingualism on letter and category fluency tasks in primary school children: Advantage or disadvantage?*
REZA KORMI-NOURI, ALI-REZA MORADI, SHAHRAM MORADI, SAEED AKBARI-ZARDKHANEH, HAEDEH ZAHEDIAN
The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of bilingualism on letter and category fluency tasks. Participants were 1,600 monolingual and bilingual children from three cities in Iran: Tehran (Persian monolinguals), Tabriz (Turkish–Persian bilinguals), and Sanandaj (Kurdish–Persian bilinguals). We separately presented nine Persian letters and thirty-one categories to the participants, and asked them to generate as many words as possible using each of these initial letters and categories within a maximum of three minutes. Bilingual children generated more words than monolingual children in the letter fluency task; this effect was more pronounced in Grade 1 and for Turkish–Persian bilinguals. However, Persian monolinguals generated significantly more words than both bilingual groups in the category fluency task. Thus, bilingualism can be of both advantage and disadvantage, and produce a dissociative effect. We discuss the results on the basis of the specific nature and different cognitive demands of letter and category fluency tasks. We suggest that the degree of language proficiency of bilinguals should be considered as an important variable in future research on bilingualism.
Is retrieval-induced forgetting behind the bilingual disadvantage in word production?*
ELIN RUNNQVIST, ALBERT COSTA
Levy, Mc Veigh, Marful and Andreson (2007) found that naming pictures in L2 impaired subsequent recall of the L1 translation words. This was interpreted as evidence for a domain-general inhibitory mechanism (RIF) underlying first language attrition. Because this result is at odds with some previous findings and theoretical assumptions, we wanted to assess its reliability and replicate the experiment with various groups. Participants were first shown drawings along with their labels in the non-dominant language. Afterwards, they named 75% of these drawings in their first language or in their non-dominant language. Finally, participants' memory of all L1 words was tested through the presentation of a rhyme-cue. Recall of L1 words was better after naming pictures in the non-dominant language compared to when the picture was not named at all. This result suggests that speaking a second language protects rather than harms the memory of our first language.
Comprehension of competing argument marking systems in two Australian mixed languages*
CARMEL O'SHANNESSY, FELICITY MEAKINS
Crosslinguistic influence has been seen in bilingual adult and child learners when compared to monolingual learners. For speakers of Light Warlpiri and Gurindji Kriol there is no monolingual group for comparison, yet crosslinguistic influence can be seen in how the speakers resolve competition between case-marking and word order systems in each language. Light Warlpiri and Gurindji Kriol are two new Australian mixed languages, spoken in similar, yet slightly different, sociolinguistic contexts, and with similar, yet slightly different, argument marking systems. The different sociolinguistic situations and systems of argument marking lead to a difference in how speakers of each language interpret simple transitive sentences in a comprehension task. Light Warlpiri speakers rely on ergative case-marking as an indicator of agents more often than Gurindji Kriol speakers do. Conversely, Gurindji Kriol speakers rely on word order more often than Light Warlpiri speakers do.
Receptive vocabulary differences in monolingual and bilingual adults*
ELLEN BIALYSTOK, GIGI LUK
English receptive vocabulary scores from 797 monolingual and 808 bilingual participants between the ages of 17 and 89 years old were aggregated from 20 studies to compare standard scores across language groups. The distribution of scores was unimodal for both groups but the mean score was significantly different, with monolinguals obtaining higher standard scores than bilinguals. Consistent with previous research, older adults had higher vocabulary scores than younger adults. The results are discussed in terms of the implications for theoretical conceptions of linguistic processing and clinical diagnosis in bilingual populations.
Can experience with co-speech gesture influence the prosody of a sign language? Sign language prosodic cues in bimodal bilinguals*
DIANE BRENTARI, MARIE A. NADOLSKE, GEORGE WOLFORD
In this paper the prosodic structure of American Sign Language (ASL) narratives is analyzed in deaf native signers (L1-D), hearing native signers (L1-H), and highly proficient hearing second language signers (L2-H). The results of this study show that the prosodic patterns used by these groups are associated both with their ASL language experience (L1 or L2) and with their hearing status (deaf or hearing), suggesting that experience using co-speech gesture (i.e. gesturing while speaking) may have some effect on the prosodic cues used by hearing signers, similar to the effects of the prosodic structure of an L1 on an L2.

KriArj Entertainment has bought the remake rights of the 1964 classic thriller Wo Kaun Thi and Shahid Kapoor might play the lead in the film. Who can forget - Naina barse rimjhim, Lag Ja Gale se, two of the most celebrated songs of all time? The original film was helmed by Raj Khosla and starred Manoj Kumar and Sadhna.
Talking about the same with a leading daily, Prernaa said, "The minute we acquired the remake rights we thought of the songs". When Deccan Chronicle quizzed her about which actress she would like to see lip sync the songs in the remake, the veteran singer said, "The melodies of Woh Kaun Thi were the soul of the theme". Take the songs away and you take away the film's heartbeat. The actor has recently signed a three-film deal with Prernaa Arora's production house and if the buzz is to be believed, makers want to sign Kapoor for the WKT remake.
Woh kaun Thi is a timeless classic that spotted the symbol of beauty. The 1964 film was a black and white film that went on to become a major hit. After this project, he is committed to doing two more films with the studio. Apart from this, the production house will also entertain us with Parmanu: The story of Pokhran, Fanne Khan and Kedarnath all hopefully to release this year.


Still, the increasing demand for battlefield power is certainly a very real issue and portable nuclear reactors could provide a solution, or at least part of a solution, to that problem.
Could NextGen Reactors Spark Revival In Nuclear Power?
The United States Army ran an innovative nuclear power program for more than 20 years. The men involved operated a series of small, nuclear heated generating plants in some of the world's least hospitable environments.
The nuclear unit is dubbed "the hedianbao", or "portable nuclear battery pack" according to a report by the South China Morning Post newspaper.. Despite the name, it's not some sort of a futuristic fission battery but a reasonably small, leadcooled reactor which could fit into a standard shipping container, measuring about meters long and meters high.
