Telaria launches 'first complete video ad platform' for OTT
Formerly known as Tremor Video, the video SSP is now adding ad serving and analytics to its repertoire.
Barry Levine on May 23, 2018 at 4:59 pm
Video supply-side platform Telaria has launched what it says is the "first complete video ad management platform" for over-the-top (OTT) TV.
The platform includes an ad server designed for advanced TV, which Telaria defines as OTT or streaming video through a phone, laptop or internet-connected TV, as well as live-data visualization, diagnostics and a decisioning engine for guiding campaign decisions. This is the first entry into ad serving and analytics for the New York City-based Telaria, formerly known as Tremor Video.
Head of product Craig Berlingo told me that the platform handles auction or fixed rate and allows program makers, such as Hearst newspapers, Hulu or Gannett, to programmatically request ads through major demand partners like DoubleClick, the Trade Desk, Adobe Marketing Cloud, Media Math, AppNexus or others.
Or a publisher can employ the specially designed ad server for direct-sold ads. Telaria says that the ad server's unique features include real-time reporting of performance, as well as transcoding of creative assets to four versions with varying resolutions for different screen sizes.
An "ad pod" can be assembled with the platform's help for a given inventory, such as a 90-second block, with rules so that the viewer doesn't see the same ad four times in a row. Also onboard: yield management designed specifically for OTT, audience targeting by program type and IP address, and business rules for brand safety.
Here's a screen from the inventory dashboard:

Kae MaÞunÿu-Tjiparuro WINDHOEK - Manfred Ngaujake, a former communal farmer but now trying his hand at commercial farming, made an interesting observation in an article published in Farmers Forum last week. This was to the effect that white farmers would never let go of their commercial land unless they have exhausted it. This is borne by Ngaujake's personal experience of the difficulties he has been facing on his farm he bought a couple of years ago. The sharper end of this personal experience, is the near-to total state of erosion that he found the farm in. Hence his remarks about white farmers only forfeiting land once depleted. How the Agricultural Bank of Namibia can/may be providing loan for such is a million Namibian Dollars question. But finding self on a commercial farm on the borders of two constituencies, that of Aminuis in the Omaheke Region, and that of Aranos in the Hardap Region, the remarks of Ngaujake could not ring louder. How the particular farmer, especially in this era of droughts, is making ends meet is any wonder. Incidentally, the latter farm has also been bought by an emerging commercial farmer, who was also formerly from the communal area. It is with this reality in mind that the Aminuis Constituency Councillor, Peter Kazongominja, is bringing home the awakening message of the disturbing reality of the ever worsening and critically if not already devastating droughts, which with its vicious debilitating and destructive grip on the communal areas in his constituency. "Drought in Aminuis is now at what you say is the highest level. Since April, we have been impressing this upon the government when we sounded the first SOS. From the government, the President during his State of the Nation Address (SORA), we came to the level of the regional government," attests the councillor. But at this level, albeit Kazongominja, nothing is moving to enable them get the necessary help. "The Prime Minister is awaiting a report that is supposed to follow an investigation by the regional office which is supposed to be the last report embracing all reports from the various sectoral fact finding missions," informs the councilor. The regional management is still to endorse this report compiled by the emergency response experts in the regional office but has as yet to meet. Before approaching the prime minister, the regional leadership has to reach consensus that there is indeed drought in the Aminuis Constituency that warrants to be declared an emergency. Most importantly, the regional management needs to recommend who needs to receive drought rations as well as how much drought fodder is needed and for how many livestock. The reality of the Aminuis Constituency, according to the councillor, is that with or without rain, 50 percent of the inhabitants normally need food aid. While another 50 percent have been relying on the livestock for subsistence. But with drought, it means the number of those clamouring for food aid has increased with the councillor putting this now at 80 percent. This is out of inhabitants of about 12,343. Currently there is no single food aid supplies in warehouses in the region, meaning there is no food aid distribution except for the San community. Thus according to the councilor, he has been relying on leftovers from this programme to help those in dire need. Kazongominja adds that the constituency is also in need of fodder assistance but is not sure if the government would agree to extending such. Currently, farmers are in flight from the constituency in search of hiring grazing as they are just in limbo with their livestock. This they are and have been doing without any backing. The farmers and their livestock flight from the constituency has simply been directionless targeting at time the help of those who have been resettled but with little help, especially given that those are prohibited by law from accommodating others doing this at the risk of forfeiting their resettlement privilege unless there is an agreement to rent grazing, which again must have the approval of the authorities. This can be an elaborate and longish process with the desperate farmers resorting to underhand dealings with those on resettlement farms. In this regard, it is even difficult to keep track of the whereabouts of farmers because where they may have find grazing may be illegally on resettlement farms and should this be known to the authorities could be at their risk and that of fellows on such farms who have come to their rescue. Within the constituency itself, there's no single village that can come to the rescue of others with already disputes about villagers helping fellow already in abundance.

Q: Make a loop stop on variable being false I'm trying to make a discord bot that says a message every 5 seconds when a condition or command is executed, and stop that loop when another one is executed. I have simple code and I'm not sure why its not working, I have just make it log to console for testing right now.
I have tried while loop and for loop, setinterval and they just won't stop even when I set the var to false.
var c = 0;

if (message.content == prefix + 'test') {
    message.delete();
    c = 1;
    while (c = 1) {
        setInterval(function () {
            console.log(c);
        }, 5000)
    }
}

if (message.content == prefix + 'stoptest') {
    message.delete();
     c = 2;
}

if (message.content == prefix + 'check') {
    message.delete();
    console.log(c);
}

I'm confused why when I do the stoptest command and set the var c to 2 it still continues to log in console saying that c = 1.

A: when you write :
while (c = 1) {
   setInterval(function () {
      console.log(c);
   }, 5000)
}

*

*c = 1 is not a condition, check operator in JS ==

*setInterval() is already designed to call something indefinitely so don't nest it in a while loop

if you want to write a loop that can be stopped :
let flag = true;

while(flag) {
  //do something
  if(anythingYouChooseHappens) {
    flag = false; // that stops the loop
    // or if don't want to use a variable you can just write `break` in this closure
  }
}

I think while loop is not the best solution here so you can start with :
let myInterval;

myInterval = setInterval(function() {
    console.log(c);
    if(anythingYouChooseHappens) {
        clearInterval(myInterval); //stop the 'loop'
    }
}, 5000);

A: The reason this is not working is because the while loop is happening synchronously, meaning the code following it will never get a change to execute as the while loop will never actually exit.
If you simply want to keep posting messages until a certain event fires, a loop is not necessary. Instead, you can try:
var interval;

if (message.content == prefix + 'test') {
    interval = setInterval(function () {
        // Post your messages to Discord here
    }, 5000)
}

if (message.content == prefix + 'stoptest' && interval) {
    clearInterval(interval);
}

Here, we set an interval that starts when the message content is prefix + 'test', and we clear that interval whenever the content is prefix + 'stoptest'. This will keep your code asynchronous, meaning the rest of your code will get a chance to execute once the interval has been started.

A: You can try this:
var a;
if(message.content == prefix + 'ckeck'){
a = setInterval(()=>{
    if(message.content, == prefix + 'stop'){
        clearInterval(a);
    }
},5000);

Q: Invalid value for createPaymentMethod: card should be object or element. You specified: null Update: Not sure what happened but it's working now! (didn't change anything)

I am using React Stripe.js and I am trying to create a payment method with Stripe's <CardElement /> but I am getting an error that says: "Invalid value for createPaymentMethod: card should be object or element. You specified: null."
SelectPlan.js (where error comes from):
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { Button } from "@material-ui/core";
import { CardElement, useStripe, useElements } from "@stripe/react-stripe-js";

const SelectPlan = () => {
  const stripe = useStripe();
  const elements = useElements();

  // function creates customer with necessary card info
  async function createCustomer() {
    try {
      const cardElement = elements.getElement(CardElement);

      const { paymentMethod } = await stripe.createPaymentMethod({
        type: "card",
        card: cardElement,
      });
    } catch (error) {
      alert(error.message);
    }
  }

  return (

      <CardElement />

      <Button onClick={createCustomer} variant="contained" color="primary">Submit</Button>

  );
};

export default SelectPlan;

StatusModal.js (parent component)
import React from "react";
import { Modal } from "@material-ui/core";

import SelectPlan from "../components/StatusModal/SelectPlan";

const stripePromise = loadStripe(process.env.REACT_APP_STRIPE_KEY);

const StatusModal = () => {
  return (
    <Modal open={props.modalOpen} onClose={() => props.setModalOpen(false)}>

Pick your plan

        <Elements stripe={stripePromise}>
          <SelectPlan />
        </Elements>

    </Modal>
  );
};

A: Please see this solution, It is working for me.

try {

UPDATE: I incorrectly identified Debo Adegbile as also Wesley Cook. He was not born Wesley Cook. My apologies! In the considerable conversations about Debo Adegbile's appointment to head the DOJ Civil Rights Division, I see little about his current position as Senior Counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Committee Chair Patrick Leahy loves this guy. He's just the greatest. And he's been hanging around the U.S. Senate. Adegbile is considered an expert on Voter's Rights, theirs, not yours. He will not be advocating for Voter I.D.laws. As an attorney for the NAACP, he defended against Mumia Abu-Jamas's death penalty sentence, originally upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, and won. The killer's death row sentenced was reduced to life in prison without patrol. Jamal is a former member of the now defunct Black Panthers, today replaced by the New Black Panther Party. He was convicted of murder in 1982.
Someone has to defend murderers. Debo Adegbile did so vigorously, but beyond that, the real problem is that he will fight from the highest perch in Washington, D.C. to keep this country from assuring 'one person, one vote' is the law of the land. It makes total sense that Adegbile has been senior counsel for the Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee.

Q: firefox not working after trying to dowload firefox 34.0.5 I use the VMware Workstation to use Ubuntu on Windows.
The current version of Firefox was 31.0 and the Mozilla Firefox download download page said that this was the current version! (34.0.5 is the latest , that was what I knew)
So i tried to download 34.0.5 using this webpage (32-bit((I have a 64 bit windows laptop, but my VMware Workstation could only handle 32-bit) http://linuxg.net/firefox-34-0-5-has-been-released-how-to-install-firefox-34-0-5-on-the-most-popular-linux-systems/
it didn't work. I checked through my commands and they were correct.
And so this appeared in the terminal:
aayush@ubuntu:~$ firefox
bash: /usr/bin/firefox: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

The firefox button just kept on loading and nothing happened
A new firefox 34.0.5 file had been created, so I removed it but nothing happened .
What can i do??!

A: Even if you're using Ubuntu 14.04 and had the trusty-updates repo activated, you could upgrade to Firefox 34.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 with sudo apt-get install firefox (after apt-get update -ing).
I don't know exactly what you did to your system, but if you extracted a tar archive to some folders & changed links & stuff, you should probably reverse & undo whatever you did, then use the regular/official Ubuntu repo & update the regular way.
Installing by downloading the binaries straight from mozilla can work, usually, but it's far easier & usually more stable to use the official repos, built & tested for Ubuntu.

With the 25th annual South By Southwest festival once again taking over Austin Texas, the masses flocked to the capital of the Lone Star State to be indoctrinated into the world of hi-tech ideas, open-bar sponsored parties, music madness, and BBQ. Although not usually as omnipresent in the Gram culture, the beginning of SXSW features a multi-day tech portion in which people come to pitch, to be pitched, to absorb, expound, and disrupt. One of the key partners of South By (that's how the cool kids refer to it) this year was luxury automotive giant Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes brought their unique, forward-thinking me Convention to Austin with the intention of introducing the world to one of their major mandates, the Future of Mobility. Although it is a simple turn of phrase it packs a significant and important punch.
Stark's responsibility is to ensure Mercedes-Benz Cars' core business profitability and competitiveness by setting up an outstanding product and technology portfolio as well as pushing forward each C.A.S.E. dimension and their intelligent combination into new, innovative and customer-oriented business models. To achieve a consistent logic from strategy up to implementation, Stark is responsible within the Mercedes-Benz Cars Strategy for the planning, development, and production of electric vehicles and is responsible for the integration of all C.A.S.E. topics.
We sat down to chat with Stark to discuss this and more.
Sidewalk Hustle: Whats the idea behind C.A.S.E.?
Wilko Stark: From our perspective at Mercedes-Benz we said there are four major trends which are changing the automotive industry fundamentally. On the one hand side connectivity it's from human to autonomous-driving and its shared mobility and services and electro-mobility. Therefore we built up this division called C.A.S.E. which is combining all these trends, and we want to push these trends together. Our vision at the end is to develop self-driving cars embedded in Mobility Services. Mobility will change and have dramatic impact on society, especially in inner cities (not so much suburban areas) we have self-driving cars, you have mobility services like Lyft and Uber, we have mytaxi in Europe so we are number one in Europe regarding ride-hailing services and that's our vision and therefore we set up this division to really drive these trends forward.
SH: Why break the Paradigm? Why would we want to take the people from behind the wheels of their cars?
WS: For one simple reason technology is further developing and we want to have an environment and a future which is sustainable which is Green, Social and Free and that's our vision and given the legislation we have around the globe, in China, in Europe and also in the US, you will see a higher share of electrification, all kinds of electrification, this is the idea we embrace with our technology brand EQ. So this is our vision, self-driving cars, of course, it's fun to drive, there's no question, and look at Mercedes AMG, fun to drive, but we are also in situations, especially in cities with traffic jams etc where it's unfortunately not fun to drive. In these cases you have mobility services of a self-driving car so that you can use the time not looking at the road but reading a book, listening to music, chatting video conferences whatever, I think that's also an improvement in the quality of life.
SH: How does this change how we interact with the automobile? Do I need a steering wheel? Do I need a driver's license?
WS: In the first step we will see self-driving services, self-driving cars which are embedded in Mobility Services like Lyft and like Uber, and you can imagine if you take a smartphone or if you take the telecom network today you have LTE you have 3G, etc and imagine you still have cars, with a driver, but you also have self-driving cars. This will be the beginning, so this means that for example in inner cities like San Francisco if you want to commute, and this is already happening today, people usually commute with Uber or with Lyft because parking is very expensive in downtown San Francisco. These people still have their own car for the weekend to go skiing or whatever, so from my perspective we will have two worlds, where there will be a big market for people who want to own a car, because it's an emotional product, and household incomes are increasing, and people still want to buy it. On the other hand, it might be adequate to use a mobility service or self-driving cars to get around.
SH: What are some of the hurdles for you to get to this future of mobility?
WS: The key hurdles in developing this future is really the development of autonomous driving because this actually means we need to talk about artificial intelligence, deep learning of the computer system because the car has to learn different traffic situation. It's very simple here in the US because of the grids, but in Europe more difficult, or China which has difficult traffic situations and when you have completely different traffic situations, for example in Melbourne Australia, they have something called a Hook Turn. This is something completely new. Therefore we really have to test our self-driving vehicles all around the globe. The other part is the development of a better battery electric vehicle. This means the development of the batteries that have a range of about 500 kilometers, that's really convenient for the customer, we are also developing in the future a self-automated charging system, where you just park your car in the garage and it's automated and it charges by itself, so you have to do nothing. In the future, the car will actually drive into the garage by itself. That's the future, you won't have to go to the petrol station and this is an improvement in the quality of life.
SH: Is this future expensive? To build this future do you have to build new infrastructure?
WS: Absolutely, for electric vehicles, you DO have to build up the infrastructure, a charging infrastructure, so this is what we started in Europe to be built up together with Volkswagen Group, BMW, and Ford Motor Company. Actually four-hundred fast charging stations on the highways across Europe. This actually means you can drive with an electric vehicle across Europe and the big difference is that we go to a power of 250 kilowatts, even 350 kilowatts with 800 voltages, so this means that you can recharge your electric vehicle within 30 minutes. Grab a coffee and just go back and when the car is completely recharged you are going another four hundred, five hundred kilometers again.
SH: Are there areas in the world that are quicker to adapt to this than others?
WS: Sure. Based on regulations China is at the forefront of electrification and by law, if you need a new number plate (license plate) it has to be an electric vehicle in Beijing and Shanghai already. The Chinese government is pushing electric vehicles like hell. They will have a share of electric vehicles in 2025, about 25%, this is at least the target for the Chinese government. So China is really the front-runner, followed by Europe and then the US, except California, is a little later on.
SH: When can we expect to see all this come to the market?
WS: We will be coming out with self-driving cars actually beginning next decade, so it's not so far actually, two, three, four years from now. That's our vision.
SH: Thank you for your time.
It's comforting to see that a brand who has been in the automotive business for over a hundred years taking the lead in creating a new paradigm of transportation. It's a change of mindset that is needed in the 21st century and one that we can not afford to ignore.

Now that Cowher's in, what of Tomlin?
Thread: Now that Cowher's in, what of Tomlin?
hawaiiansteel
By Dale Lolley
Color me surprised.
Bill Cowher was a very good coach, one of the best of his era. But his credentials when it came to gaining entrance into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while good, didn't make him a shoo-in.
When I looked at this year's list of finalists for the three coaches who were going to be put into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I felt Cowher had a chance. But he was up against Dan Reeves, Jimmy Johnson and Tom Flores, all two-time Super Bowl winners, along with single winners Dick Vermeil and Mike Holmgren, who not only won a Super Bowl each, but also took another franchise to a Super Bowl. And that doesn't even mention Don Coryell and Buddy Parker -- another former Steelers head coach -- who were considered innovators.
So while Cowher, with his two Super Bowl appearances — one win — and 149-90-1 record in 15 seasons, certainly was deserving, I thought the three two-time Super Bowl winners would probably get the nod. But we now know at least one of them didn't after Cowher's surprise announcement on Saturday night's pre-game show.
With the announcement that Cowher will be one of the three coaches put into the hall by the Blue Ribbon Panel that is choosing this year's special centennial class, I can't help but think the Steelers are going to have three consecutive coaches go to the Hall of Fame eventually.
Don't think so? Consider that Mike Tomlin has already been to two Super Bowls, winning one, the same as Cowher. And Tomlin's career record in 13 seasons is 133-74-1 in his 13 seasons.
With even a pair of 8-8 records in the next two seasons -- and Tomlin has never had a season worse than that -- he would match Cowher's record through 15 years.
As for playoff wins, Cowher went 12-9 in his career in the postseason, while Tomlin is 8-7. But remember, Cowher went 4-0 in his final playoff run in 2005. So prior to that run, which also resulted in his Super Bowl win, he was 8-9 in the postseason, including 1-4 in AFC Championships, all at home.
Certainly, getting that far is an accomplishment. It's not easy to do. And Cowher's teams did well to get that far several times.
But as I often hear, winning playoff games is all that matters in Pittsburgh, ignoring the fact Cowher went 3-3 in the postseason from 1998 through 2004, a span of seven seasons. That completely ignores how difficult it is to win in the postseason on a consistent basis -- or at all.
Don't think so? Look at Saturday night's results as case and point. The AFC playoffs were supposed to be a mere formality for the Ravens. After all, they had won 12 consecutive games and were double digit favorites to beat the Titans.
But, as Saturday night's 28-12 thumping of the Ravens by the Titans showed us, anything can happen in the NFL postseason. That's why even the best coaches are right around .500 in the postseason -- a handful of coaches, including Bill Belichick aside.
That's the problem for coaches of his generation. No matter what they do, how many games they win, they're going to be compared to Belichick. And he just might be the best to ever do it.
So while Cowher certainly deserves his Hall of Fame bid, so will Tomlin when that time comes -- though you wouldn't know it from the screaming for his head that goes on in Steelers Nation.
I get it. Steelers fans expect to win every year. And when they don't, there's disappointment. But a disappointing season or two doesn't mean you fire the coach right away.
If the Steelers had done that, in say, 1999 after Cowher put together back-to-back non-playoff seasons in which they went 13-19, Cowher might never have won that first Super Bowl. And he might never have gotten the news he did Saturday night.
That's the kind of record that would have gotten Cowher replaced in a lot of places. Cleveland comes to mind. How's that working out for the Browns?
Chuck Noll went in after his career, and deservedly so. And now, so will Cowher. Chances are, Tomlin won't be far behind -- whenever he decides to hang it up.

Tomlin appears to love his job. Seems like he wants to coach a long tome.
He probably won't be with the Steelers his entire career. We don't know yet because Tomlin's story still being written. To soon to say one way or the other.

Woooooo!
I'm happy for the Chin - he revitalized the franchise and produced a long run of excellence, regardless of his playoff record. There's no doubt his overall record is HOF material. Now if I were to be honest, when stacked up against the other names on that list? Hard for me to agree Cowher was top 3. Gotta think Holmgren is the 3rd - but if he's passed over? That doesn't seem correct. Also, while I won't go so far to say it's a factor - celebrating the 100 year season and having the ability to announce entrance to the HOF on the two pre-game shows sure was convenient. The cynic in my thinks that 'might' have been considered for this years selections.
2014 MNF EXEC CHAMPION!!!
A lot of coaches are going to get in that fans think shouldn't be in because they compare everyone to the cheat.
Its not just wins and losses. It's the total contribution to the NFL. No 2 coaches are alike and I don't think the committee is going to weigh every coach using the same metrics.
Tomlin is going to get in when it's all said and done and his detractors will have to spend the rest of their lives complaining about why he wasn't worthy.

I think it just worked out that way and someone in marketing had a good idea to announce it on TV.
No I don't believe that - and I said both are deserving. But I also don't think it's too farfetched that in the discussions someone said 'we can get Coryell in next year - but Bill and Jimmy have a national audience right now!'
Unless you really believe the NFL is above such things................... ........
Well it worked. I was misty. I had no idea what was going on. That dude looked like a mafia boss from a TV show. I thought he was an actor

Cowher had an insane record when up by 10 -- 89-1-1 or something. At some point it was 80-0.
That's a level of dominance from a winning situation that's rarely seen. That must have factored in greatly.

I have visited Larch Mountain twice in the last couple weeks, trying to track down the reported Gray Jays and other higher elevation birds. The mountain itself is an extinct volcano with no larch trees to speak of, but certainly some spectacular views from the top, Sherrard Point.
From left to right you can see Mount St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Jefferson. Pretty sweet.
Finding birds up there is not always easy though from the viewpoint at the top I could see Ruby-crowned Kinglets flitting about on the tops of trees far away. Yesterday morning after visiting the top I took the dogs for a wander around some closed roads and trails. A lone American Pipit was standing in the center of a gravel lot just below the main parking area.
The bird seemed too big for a sharpie so at the time I was thinking Cooper's. But now looking at the streaks and the way the wings are shaped, I am trying to make it a goshawk... Eh?
Further down the road from the parking area, between mileposts 11 and 12, there's a closed road (a gravel trail really) that leads back to the Larch Mountain trail. I was about half a mile down the trail, in the middle of turning a pine cone into a Northern Pygmy-Owl, when a group of four or five birds flew overhead. They looked grayish and were making sounds I knew I had heard before. I snapped off a few quick shots before they disappeared over the treetops.
At the time I had assumed they were the Gray Jays. The photos are terrible but they show some key field marks... of a Clark's Nutcracker?
Yes this is a god-awful photo. But there's the mostly white tail (with black in the center), the pointy beak, and the black wings with the light colored patch on the secondaries (wording stolen from Sibley). Plus the sounds I heard from them- so familiar but couldn't place them. I have a horrible memory when it comes to bird sounds despite my ability to tell at least 100 dogs apart by bark alone.
Now even farther down the road, at the sign that announces leaving and entering Mt Hood National Forest there is another closed road I like to walk the dogs along. Overhead were swirling swifts, in the trees chattering chickadees, and on the ground... uh... Pacific Wrens... doing wren things.
This fella seemed smaller and was leaning towards Sharp-shinned at the time. It seems to have a smaller head and other photos show it even more hunched-looking. Obviously I need some help understanding these birds- what do YOU find the most useful field marks for in-flight accipiters?
Looks like ya wore them pups out! That first panoramic view is incredible!!!
Love the panorama and Mt St Helens. Birds are a bonus with a view like that!
It seems like I was just there, the view from the lookout is gorgeous. Cool hawks sightings. Your dogs are cuties!
What a view of all those Volcanoes!!! I was just reading about that area in my National Parks guide..its from 1986 SO all old news but still interesting..
Wish I could help with the ID's but you have narrowed down as best anyone can...so it will have to go in the I DONT KNOW stack for a while I guess. Either way FUN to see right?
CUTE shot of your boyz!!
Jen, Northern Goshawk is a bird that I've seen on several occasions but am still not comfortable identifying in flight. That said, your bird looks neither like a Sharpy nor a Cooper's to me. It looks far too chunky and cool-colored to be a Sharpy, and it looks too Sharpyish (short head and neck projection and small-headed) to be a Cooper's. I know you said you brightened it, but how much? The overall colors suggest whites, grays, and blues as seen in an adult male Goshawk.
That said, my inexperienced vote would be for Goshawk. Plus, the timing is on the early side of perfect for migrating accipiters. A great bird for the county if you can get an expert to confirm it!
Well, you asked for it. The top accipiter is far too compact and short-winged/short-tailed to be a goshawk, which are beastly and are as big as Red-tailed Hawks. Complicating things is the fact that the bird has a full crop, giving it the illusion of being bulky and long-necked. I think the bird looks great for a Sharp-shinned, particularly in the second picture, being small headed and very compact.
The second bird is more difficult; I would guess female Sharp-shinned or male Cooper's. The squared tail and small head is good for Sharp-shinned but the proportions make me think Cooper's.
The first bird looks like an immature Coop- fine vertical breast streaks (Sharpies/Goshawks have thicker/heavier streaks), lots of head projection, and a broad white tip on the tail.
The second a-sip looks like an adult Sharpie- square tail, small head. I don't see any vertical breast streaks (for immature) and I can almost make out red tones of the adult chest barring.
The accipiters are hard to ID, especially with photos. In the field you get multiple angles, wingbeats, flight style, etc. You should visit Bonney Butte sometime- your dogs would be welcome there too. Late September/early October is peak raptor migration there.
Okay...I don't diddly squat about Accipiters, but they sure are fast! I'll break out the field guide next time I'm hoping to be of service. Sorry you didn't get your Goshawk - yet!
Ha, no worries, considering the variety of answers on the first accip (Dave Irons said it "felt" like a Cooper's) I am leaving it unspecified.
Way to volunteer your friend there to transport me, haha. I would not turn down the ride though if he feels like driving up and down a NASTY road sometime.
Jen- the first photo of the accipiter is probably a Sharpie .And not a Gos, because the Gos has zero "waist", but Coop's and sharpies do .Also the chest is quite robust hinting at Sharpie. The second photo also appears to be sharpie, because of tail tip being square and a thin terminal band. The last photo is not a Coop's because of square tip tail and broad based wings.

The last of the published Phoenix Journals is what has tipped the scales, so you might want to study them well, especially in light of the fact others have attempted to obfuscate and dilute their significance by presenting the so-called "Unpublished Journals", which were never endorsed by Gyeorgos Ceres Hatonn.
In March 1999, lacking sufficient funds to publish any more Phoenix Journals in the form of the little white books, Commander Hatonn instructed that the masthead should be changed to CONTACT — The Phoenix Journal; i.e., the newspaper became the Journal, or ongoing record of the Phoenix Project.

The voice of Brahmas' football

Mark Nogy looks at the Citrus College Owls football team as they prepare to play the Brahmas at John Shepard Stadium at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, Calif. on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017. Photo: Randi Love
When football games start, Mark Nogy is there to announce. Nogy has been announcing the Pierce College football games for 12 seasons.
"I've been doing the Canoga games for a long time, and somebody told me that they had an opening here at Pierce," Nogy said. "I've been coming to Pierce games because they are a lot of fun to watch, so I came to a few games every year."
Nogy said he applied for the job at Pierce when he saw the advertisement in the stands. He said he didn't have to audition for the job.
"I saw the ad on the stands one day, then I talked to him and he said, 'Yeah, I can use a PA announcer.' This happened in 2005, and he said, 'Yeah if you want the job you can have it.' I didn't had to audition or anything. I told him that I've been doing the Canoga games for 10 years, and he was happy with that," Nogy said.
Nogy said he prepares for gameday with the same routine he has on a regular basis.
"I usually get here one hour before game time, and I already have the rosters ready," Nogy said. "I go over the names, and I make sure I don't screw them up. You don't screw up because that's your credibility, although you are going to make mistakes sometimes."
Nogy said that when he mispronounces a player's name, a coach or a relative will go up and let him know how it's pronounced.
"Usually, a coach or a relative will somehow get word up here and say, 'Hey, this is how you pronounce it, or no. 24 is actually so and so," Nogy said. "Having bad rosters is bad for a PA announcer, so you trust that these are correct."
Nogy said that when he calls out the players names, they, and their parents, appreciate it, and especially in high school, they'll go and thank him.
Nogy plans to retire after his time is up, and said that teams are looking for younger broadcasters.
Nogy said his most interesting memory was during a Canoga v. Valencia match when they were having technical difficulties with the scoreboard.
"It was in the 90s, back when Canoga would sit in the visitor's side. We were having issues with the clock. They thought we were messing around with it, and I could have sworn that 30 fans were about to kick down our door and get in the booth," Nogy said. "Thankfully, we moved Canoga to our side, so I'm in friendly territory."
Nogy was also a sports editor for Canoga Park High School when they had a newspaper called The Hunters' Call. He said that being on the paper prepared him for college.
Nogy also taught history for 16 years in LAUSD. He then became a counselor. Currently, he's a counselor at Columbus Middle School.
Nogy began his career at 18 for his college radio station.
"I practiced, and I got on the air just for a few seconds, and from there, it all worked out," Nogy said. "About a year later, I was sports editor of the station."
Antony Villalobos, a health teacher and basketball coach at Canoga Park High School, runs the scoreboard for the games and has known Nogy for 21 years.
"Mark is a true sport's guy. He is much involved in Canoga sports history, but the way he remembers dates and facts regarding sports here is quite amazing," Villalobos said. "I barely remember what I had for breakfast."
Besides announcing the games together, Nogy and Villalobos played basketball against each other during high school.
"Our teams actually played each other in a tournament. We shook hands in the late 70s after the game," Villalobos said.
One of Nogy's best memories at Canoga Park High school was announcing the games.
"We had some good players, and we had some good teams. We had some guys going to Division I to play football," Nogy said. "It was great to say I was there to see their games."
Former Canoga High football player David Parra knew Nogy from 1999 to 2003 because he announced the games.
"He's a great professor. I used to have him for class. He was a history teacher, and he was really cool, down-to-earth guy," Parra said. "He knew me personally because I took his class."
Nogy also announces the Canoga Park High School Annual Memorial Day services.
"Mark is responsible for it developing into one of the most respectable and impressive ceremonies around," Villalobos said. "He always wants things done right and takes it personal if anything falls flat."
Nogy might not had accomplished all of his goals as an announcer, but some say he has left a legacy at Canoga Park as a teacher and as an announcer.
"I feel like ever since he has been an announcer and does the Memorial Day services, nobody else can replace him," Parra said.
Nogy plans to stop announcing the Canoga Park High school games in about 3 years.
"The games had been fun to do, " Nogy said. "You got to have fun doing this."
Nogy said it's not easy for those who want to pursue a career in journalism or broadcasting.
"You have to pay your dues, you don't go to the top quickly," Nogy said. "There's a lot of competition, so you better be good and practice a lot."

Difference Between Benzyl and Phenyl
Studies in Organic Chemistry are the most extensive and significant to date. In addition to making it simpler for us to comprehend life, it also reveals the chemistry at a microscopic level involved in the production of the particles.
Compounds in organic chemistry may react with a wide range of atoms, reagents, and other compounds to produce a whole new product with entirely new properties.
Identifying organic chemistry molecules is based on their carbon chains, which generally create a circular shape by bonding together in certain ways. The benzene ring, which has six carbon atoms, is the most significant chemical. Hydrogen atoms are linked to the carbon atoms much more tightly.
A new compound is formed when successive hydrogen atoms are replaced with functional groups of a different kind. Structure-wise, benzyl and phenyl have a ring-shaped structure that is made up of benzene, but the functional groups they create are distinct.
Benzyl Vs. Phenyl
When comparing the two functional compounds, Benzyl is made up of a carbon-hydrogen bonding ring tied to a CH2, while Phenyl has six carbon atoms, five of which are linked to hydrogen and one of which is linked to a substituent.
Benzyl
Benzyl is a close cousin of benzene and has little resemblance to its parent compound. "Bn" is the abbreviation for the ring.
Because it is a functional group, the molecules it creates have the qualities that they have.
Chemically, Benzyl comprises of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded to the CH2 group in a sequential arrangement
Toluene is C6H5CH3 and benzyl is C6H5CH2 hence the monovalent radical is formed from Toluene.
Methyl and ethyl CH linkages have stronger bonds than carbon and hydrogen, hence the amount of external energy required to break the bonds is higher, often about 90 Kcal/mol.
Benzyl methyl and benzylamine are examples of the chemicals that may be produced by this reaction.
Carboxylic acids and alcohols are protected by these compounds in organic chemistry.
Phenyl
When abbreviated as "Ph" or "Ph," Phenyl is a derivative of the benzene group that has certain qualities with Benzene in terms of structure and chemistry.
In terms of molecular weight, C6H5 has a mass of 77 g mol-1.
As the benzene Phenyl lacks the hydrogen atom, it may readily link with the next element in the chain, such as another phenyl group.
As a result of the strong atomic link, the dissociation energy needed to break the bond is very high, at 113 Kcal/mol. The dissociation energy required to break bonds established with various atoms, however, ranges from 105 Kcal/mol for methyl to 101 Kcal/mol for ethyl.
Because of the strong carbon and hydrogen bonds, phenyl has an extremely low reactivity. Phenyl, like Benzene, is sp2 hybridized, too.
Phenyl's characteristics may be altered by substituents, which can be electron donors or electron withdrawers.
Phenyl functional group molecules are utilized in pharmaceuticals. Frxofenadine and Atorvastatin may be used to treat allergies and cholesterol-related issues.
Phenyl is also utilized in the house, schools, hotels, and other places where cleanliness and disinfection are required.
Both Benzyl and Phenyl, which are functional groups, are devoid of hydrogen and are produced directly from toluene, but Phenyl is nothing more than a Benzene Ring without a Hydrogen Atom.
Chemically, Benzyl has a C6H5CH2 structure, while Phenyl has C6H5CH5 structure.
Inorganic benzyl has a low dissociation energy link between connected carbon and hydrogen atoms, making it a reactive chemical; however, the bond in phenyl is stronger and hence less reactive
Benzyl takes just 90 kcal/mol of energy to break C-H bonds, but Phenyl requires 113 kcal/mol of energy to do so.
For example, benzyl alcohol is written as BnOH, while benzene may be expressed as PhH. Benzyl is shortened as Bn, whereas a phenyl molecule is simplified as Ph.
To understand life, one must study organic chemistry, which deals with the molecules and numerous atom combinations that might lead to life-giving substances.
Chemically, the most intriguing and significant group to study in organic chemistry is the benzene functional group, which may be further broken down to generate additional functional groups such as benzoyl and phenyl.
An very reactive functional group, benzoyl includes the benzene ring as well as a CH2 molecule. The bond dissociation energy is rather low, making it an excellent protective group.
It's easy to see from the chemical formula that phenyl is an isomer of benzene without a hydrogen atom. Because the c-H bonds are difficult to break, this molecule has a high bond dissociation energy and is hence less reactive.
Both serve a significant purpose in our lives and help to establish a strong foundation for the future.

The Indoor Generation &Co. Health Wellness & Pharmaceutical
We chose to build the campaign on the fact that we spend 90% of our lives indoors. In other words, we have gone from being part of nature to being apart from nature.
"The purpose of 'The Indoor Generation' is to create awareness about the importance of daylight and fresh air. The main objective of "The Indoor Generation" campaign is to start a global conversation around bad indoor environments and to encourage people—and also other stakeholders like architects, politicians and health organisations—to act."
"We chose to build the campaign on the fact that we spend 90% of our lives indoors. In other words, we have gone from being part of nature to being apart from nature.
Based on this insight, we coined the term The Indoor Generation to address the following serious facts:
• Indoor air can be up to 5x more polluted than outdoor
• Living in damp and moldy homes increases the risk of asthma by 40%
• Lack of daylight makes 15% of us sad
• Daylight can boost your children's learning abilities by up to 15%
• Kids' bedrooms are often the most polluted rooms in the house"
"VELUX wanted a campaign to help raise awareness about the importance of daylight and fresh air, showing that daylight and fresh air are not only nice to have, but they're things we need as human beings.
They wanted to address everybody—primarily end-users, but also influencers broadly speaking—in order to increase demand not only for roof windows, but for all kinds of possible solutions to the problem."
"Diving into the extensive research material collected by VELUX, including their own research and studies by esteemed academic institutions such as University of Oxford, Harvard University and Fraunhofer IBP, we had a real eye-opener. When we saw the mass of research and data, we were horrified. Together with VELUX, we felt society at large had a right to know about this. So instead of talking about windows, we decided to talk about 'the problem.' For which, VELUX products are of course one of the solutions for The Indoor Generation, but only a part. The Indoor Generation is breaking open a discussion between many stakeholders and the general public."
"The distribution of the campaign has been planned for the context of the strategic themes and insights. Tapping into an existing global context concerned with health and wellbeing has been a key driver of success. Media partnerships with globally influential titles such as The New York Times and Huffington Post became one cornerstone to combine credibility and reach. We also carried out a survey with 16,000 people across 14 markets and turned that into the backbone of the news push flavoured with existing research from Harvard and Oxford. The creative development, distribution and PR have been integrated from day one and allowed us to create a campaign that travels between people."
"It was vital for us to coin a creative concept, that would make the indoor environment feel relevant. It is a highly complex issue, and in order to create awareness, we had to make ourselves relevant – not only to the professional segment, but to all of us. We wanted people to be able to recognise themselves as part of The Indoor Generation and really feel, both mentally and physically, the importance of this agenda. But how do you do that? The Indoor Generation is a way of talking about us and the indoor life we have in common—but also a platform for talking about the dangers that comes with it."
"From day one, our whole team has been personally affected by the insights and learnings we have had about the indoor environment. We really hope we are able to creative the global attention that this subject deserves, and we are extremely proud to help raise awareness about the importance of daylight and fresh air, and also be part of actually changing the behaviour in society.
We set out to create a campaign that travels between people, and we managed that by tapping into intrinsically human insights—and by integrating the creative development with the distribution strategy from day one."

I first met Ida at the Weybridge Ecademy meeting and was drawn to her by her sense of purpose and her drive. Ida, as you will read, it passionate, determined and very aware of the contribution she can make.
What has inspired me about Ida is her ability to slowly and calmly build a network of advocates around her. I meet so many people who know, admire and like Ida very much but she does not make a noise just for the sake of being heard.
Ida can teach many of us how to be patient, how to work strategically on a mission and how to always leave an impression that is positive.
Ida is a 21st century Social Entrepreneur, she knows how to collaborate, she knows how to build an online reputation and she knows how to position her business in a way that all her stakeholders can share in the success, if Ida is successful the ripple effect is tremendous.
I wanted to write my story so far and share how it all came about. In December 2006 I left England for a holiday in my home country Uganda one thing led to another and this holiday changed my life as I knew it for ever.
I had a long standing invitation to visit a former colleague who had moved to Kenya as her husband had been posted there for work so I called on her for a whole week. When I got back to Uganda I had an invitation to a New Year's Eve party by Lake Bunyonyi Kabale in SW Uganda. I had never been to this part of Uganda so I agreed to go. We had fantastic time, partying etc. The following day I asked my cousins if they would show me around the village.
I was shocked by what I saw, the poverty in the place was worse than anything I had ever seen. I could not reconcile the beauty of the landscape to the poverty of the people. This part of Uganda is very cold, so there were children walking on the country roads, with no shoes, runny noses, women carrying water on their heads, with rags for clothing.
When we got to the top of the hill, we found some women weaving baskets and we started talking to them about their lives, and one thing they had in common was that although they had husbands who worked as casual labourers, they never got to see their husbands' money, so it was up to them to ensure that the children in particular had food.
I was in a contemplative mood as I left this village and headed back to the city for the rest of my holiday. Life had not changed for most of these people, the women were my age group, but looked so much older and most had no formal education. I wondered what would have happened to me if my father had decided not to put me through the education system because of my gender.
When we got home I had a heart to heart talk with my father who was very ill at this stage (he had just had a cancer diagnosis). This would be the last time I would have such a conversation as the next time I saw him he was in intensive care and died within hours of my arrival.
I came back to the UK, with a view to doing something to help the women I had met, both in Kenya and Uganda. I was overwhelmed by how privileged my life was.
I went back to work, as a Housing Manager in Paddington, with feelings of "Oh well, that is not my life now, it was just a holiday, forget about it" But for some reason, I could not settle back into my role, I was in charge of a team of 7 staff, they too noticed this in me, and I wondered if it was because I had been away for a whole month. My boss irritated me amongst other things, but the last straw was a long running dispute between a Leaseholder and a tenant, the local politicians got involved too.
My thoughts turned to the folk I had left behind in East Africa. I thought to myself this has to be some of the most expensive council housing in the UK and the occupants are arguing over where a bench should be located etc!
When I got home that day, I wrote my resignation letter and handed it in the following day. At this stage I had no real idea what I was going to do but I knew that there had to be something better out there. I felt a strong sense of relief, until I started telling my family and friends what I had just done; some thought I had lost the plot for walking away from a well paid job. I must admit so did I, but once that letter of resignation was in there was no turning back.
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TRY SLEEPING WITH A MOSQUITO!
There was my answer of what I was going to do. I would go and use my skills of working with the poor in London on the poor of Africa. But it would not be about charity, it would be something that would enable the women to earn money from their work and this money would go directly to them.
I had some lovely bags that I had bought from a Malagasy woman in a market in Nairobi, as well as baskets and other bits and pieces from my holiday. I took these to a shop in Weybridge Surrey to get their view as to whether there was a market for such things. The shop owner said there would be as they were very well made, and gave me some price indication but told me there were all too ethnic for her shop.
With that in mind Ethnic Supplies was born!
The programme ended with an invitation to a Business exhibition at Kempton Park by Business link where I got to attend various workshops. Back then I had a real fear of anything techy and as I selected which of the workshops I should attend I made a mental note to avoid any workshops dealing with IT.
Looking back this doesn't make sense at all as those are the very workshops I should have attended so I could learn about ICT By a bizarre twist of luck that is exactly what happened.
Whilst searching for a workshop on Marketing I ended up in the wrong room where the workshop was ICT related. I got in just in time to hear the facilitator say "Google loves Ecademy and Craig's list" and he went on to ask who in the audience was signed up to either.
I realised I was in the wrong room and left but made a mental note to look up those two "things" (didn't know what they were back then) when I got home. I did and signed up to both.
Shortly after signing up to Ecademy I went off to Tanzania to meet the first group of women I would work with, and on my return I went to Madagascar. It was whilst I was in Madagascar, that the value of Ecademy sunk in. I posted a blog about what I had seen and before I knew it, people were offering to send blankets, children's clothing etc.
Over the last two years I have made some good friends here on Ecademy and sadly some have left. I have had my hand held quite literary. I am grateful to Nathalie Jamois in particular, who helped sort out my website and pointed out the groups I should join on Ecademy, who to follow, Peter Blanchard, who helped with tips on sales and marketing, how to ask for a referral, David Nunn and the Weybridge Ecademy group, these folk are simply great, Emma James, the Ask Linda Ecademy group and some new found friends Ces Loftus, Suhad, Christine Miller and Carolyn Williams.
I don't know when or how I @ethnicsupplies got into Twitter but frankly it doesn't matter. However what does is the ability to connect with others that Twitter provides. I have no doubt folk will debate the inns and out of Twitter for some time to come of as we say in Africa until the cows come home but I would urge you not to dismiss it.
My Twitter story starts with a post sent by Ed whose Twitter handle is @chiefmoamba. Ed posted a Tweet in which he mentioned an Africa gathering in London. This is someone I didn't know and I can't even remember how he became my "Follower" or me his. He politely answered my questions one of which was how I could get hold of tickets to the Africa Gathering event in London.He informed me that the tickets were sold out and asked if I would mind leading on one the seminars! Phew! All of this in just a few minutes of exchanging what is technically text messages!
Having reviewed the details I asked him what on earth I would talk about as the whole gathering appeared to be about ICT. Well those who know me will not be surprised by this. He suggested that I could talk about my work at Ethnic Supplies. That is easy enough I thought, so I agreed to join them. Here is how the actual day went.
sincerely had no idea how much I relied on ICT in the running of Ethnic Supplies. What happened next following my appearance at the Africa Gathering knocked me for six. An email arrived in my in box, I along with the other speakers at that event were invited to submit a paper for a conference on Ethics, Roles and Relationships in Interaction Design in Development and given a deadline of May 10 2009.
Accept. This author, who is not a part of the traditional 'community' of HCI4D, brings similar insights about listening to people impacted by development is critical to success. I think that her perspective would be very interesting – that we could learn from her experiences and vice versa. I also think that there is a potential for interesting collaboration as well. Although she does not explicitly mention ethical issues, they are implicit in what she has written.
Accepted, The author has clearly has done some serious thinking about the relevant work. I agree that we can learn by engaging with this person.
I could not believe my eyes and was glad that I had taken the time to submit the paper. I started to reflect on the power on Twitter as well as that following leads through. Whilst at the Africa Gathering I met three important people who were also running seminars. One of those people was Dr Chris Hutchison a lecturer at Kingston University. He ran a seminar on the University's Africa project and sat in on my seminar too.
We had brief conversation afterwards, he introduced me to his colleague Catherine we and agreed to meet up to continue the conversation. May was a busy month for us all and it became near impossible to meet. I had a work assignment that took me off to Uganda, and then there was the BBC Gardener's World Exhibition during the second week of June. When this ended in the belief that the "fortune is the follow up "I dropped Chris a line with possible dates of meeting him and Catherine.
It transpired that he was speaking at a conference in Latvia. I also learned from him that there was a conference at the University on 26 June 2009 and I would be welcome to be one of the speakers, which I promptly took up and my topic was – Representation and Interpretation – focusing on how Africa is portrayed in the popular media.
At the conference I learned from Chris that he had been made head of the University's Africa Project. He and Catherine were currently working on a project in South Africa and want to explore ways of promoting financial independence for the women. Chris asked if I would consider collaborating with them on this particular project by including them in what I do at Ethnic Supplies Ltd. Discussions are still under way.
The most exciting connection on Twitter was with a fellow Ugandan who lives in Texas and whose Twitter handle is @tmsruge. Like me Teddy is working to help a group of women and children access western markets with their wares. We have decided to join forces. I have recently sent off the samples of the work of the women's group he is involved with to MONSOON ACCESSORISE having met them at London Fashion Week, and I am waiting for feedback.
Some are not interested in products but in what I have to say (the message behind the products), so this has presented speaking opportunities for me as well as opportunities to collaborate with others including academics.
Some are looking to source products that I don't carry at Ethnic Supplies so I provide a consultancy service to such people. My first client is a coffee roaster from North London. I have introduced him to the Ugandan Coffee Development Agency and a local coffee co-operative in Uganda that he can work with. They have produced a purely Uganda coffee that isn't currently available on the UK market and are awaiting certification from Italy.
LET THEM HELP THEMSELVES OUT OF POVERTY.
The biggest achievement that makes it all worthwhile is the impact that my work has on the women producers. I can't begin to tell you what it feels like when one of them says to me I have been able to send my children to school because you found a market for my baskets. I exhibited at the BBC garden's world live this year- this was made possible by Penny Ritson.
I submitted a paper to a workshop on Ethics Roles and Relationships in Interaction design in developing regions, which was part of a much wider conference Interact2009 in Uppsala Sweden my paper, was accepted and I was invited to present it on 24 and 25 Aug 2009, further details here. This was through a random connection on Twitter.
I have recently been contacted by a Scottish company that specialises in African inspired Tartans to help them start a new line of Tartans using Wild silk from Madagascar. Another assignment will see me accompany a group of ladies from Surrey through South Africa in March next year.
share and learn. I remember a blog I posted on FAIRTRADE way back in February and the discussion continued well into May, and I have forged new connections with some of the folk who turned up for the discussion. I have a lot of learning to do still.
I would like to move away from holding the products myself to supplying them to others which is the goal I started out with. I continue to speak to Retailers about this. This would free me up to spend more time in Africa working alongside the ladies. There are huge gaps in the skills set especially when it comes to supplying overseas and this has meant that they have missed out because their orders were late.
I would also like to build on the consultancy work where I help businesses to set up in Africa or partner with African businesses through my network of contacts both here and in Africa.
Do you know any buyers at retail outlets that I could approach or companies wishing to set up in Africa but don't know where to start?


The government has directed Internet and social networking giants such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft to "immediately remove" any link to the "deadly game" Blue Whale which has allegedly caused several suicides by children in the country.
In a notice issued on August 11, the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MEITY) said that instances of children committing suicide while playing Blue Whale Challenge Game have been reported in India and the Government is concerned about the availability of such games on Internet.
"It is understood that an administrator of the game uses social media platform to invite or incite children to play this game, which may eventually lead the child to extreme steps for self-inflicting injuries including suicide," said the notice which has been sent to Google India, Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Microsoft India and Yahoo India.
"You are hereby required to ensure that any such link of this deadly game in its own name or any similar game is immediately removed from your platform," said the notice copies of which have also been sent to the ministry of home and the ministry of women and child development.

Two ships have collided in the Black Sea some 20 km south of Bulgaria's Emine Cape, the Bulgarian Maritime Administration announced.
The collision occurred late on Monday, and there is still very little information about the incident.
Seven sailors are believed to be missing, according to unconfirmed reports.
One of the ships is believed to an oil tanker sailing under the flag of Sierra Leone, and the Bulgarian authorities fear they might be an oil spill along the country's southern Black Sea coast.
Units of the Bulgarian Civil Protection Service has set off for the site of the incident and are expected to begin a rescue operation starting around 7 pm local time.
Expect further details as more information becomes available!


Babel is collectivist and its language is muddied and muddled even as it promotes "politically correct speech," while Sinai's speech is clear, if subject to increased precision over time.
Babel promotes "victimology," while Sinai promotes individual responsibility and the development of free will.
What is sublimation? Freud advised instinctual renunciation to protect precious relationships, while advocating sublimation: Using repressed rage or Eros as energy for sports, creativity in any medium, excelling in an intellectual or artisanal skill, participating in those political movements that honor individuality and independence. Above all, learning about the body, about preventive medicine (impossible without study of nutrition, hygiene, anatomy, and knowledge of the natural world; about child development, and raising children to maximize their own gifts and readiness for participation in the larger world outside the family).
