According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) now affects about 1 in every 68 children in the U.S., up from 1 in 150 in 2000. This includes 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls. Contact with animals may help ameliorate this troubling trend. A recent study of 114 children between 5 and 12 years old has found that autistic children having greater contact with animals have less anxiety related to social situations.
The research was led by Marguerite O'Haire, Ph.D., from the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at the College of Veterinary Medicine of Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Indiana. Colleagues from the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, also participated in the study.
The researchers divided the 114 children into 38 groups of three. Each group had one ASD child and two children without ASD. Skin conductance, which provides an objective way for researchers to gauge social anxiety, was measured among the children as they read silently and aloud. As expected, skin conductance was significantly higher among the ASD children as they read aloud in front of their peers. In successive sessions, when researchers introduced pet guinea pigs for the children to pet prior to their readings, the ASD children's skin conductance levels dropped significantly.

Hall of Famer Joe DeLamielleure will complete his 213-mile walk from Buffalo to Canton on Saturday morning. He has been walking more than 20 miles a day since a week ago Wednesday to raise awareness for children needing prosthetic legs.
There is one particular fellow Hall of Famer who has paid special attention to the walk as the cause is near and dear to his heart.
Legendary Oakland Raiders Center Jim Otto struggled through five artificial knee surgeries over a ten-year period. Each time, infection set in and Otto nearly lost his life several times. The very difficult ordeal came to a head in 2007 when doctors told the once vibrant lineman that there was nothing else that could be done and informed him that they would have to amputate his leg above the knee. Within hours of his consent, Otto's leg was gone.
Today, the Class of 1980 enshrinee is again enjoying a relatively normal life with his prosthetic leg. His amputation above the knee is the hardest to adjust to a prosthetic leg. While he admittedly shared he can't get around as well as he once did, he considers himself blessed. He doesn't take life for granted and savors every moment such as a recent fishing trip.
Otto proudly shared that he'll be back in Canton for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Golden Anniversary Reunion on Aug. 2-4. He further stated that when his name is announced, he'll be walking up that stage.
Otto, the American Football League's all-time center and 12-time all-star, described how he cried after the recent Boston Marathon bombing.
It is Otto's hope that DeLamielleure's walk receives enough attention to raise significant awareness for the plight of those needing prosthetic legs.


from the www.ieer.org website a million times, and is having an impact on state governments and politicians around the country.
Dr. Makhijani explores the possibilities for greater energy efficiency offered by smart meters and other intelligent approaches to saving and storing electricity, President Obama's plan to reduce carbon emissions by 80% below 1990 levels by the middle of the century, and the dangerous pitfalls of "cap-and-trade" programs that do virtually nothing to stop global warming. IEER is now studying how a state such as Utah can move to 100% renewable electricity, and writing model legislation for how other states can follow this path. More information about IEER's trendsetting work can be found at www.ieer.org and www.carbonfreenuclearfree.org.
In part two of the program, Dr. Caldicott chats with Paul Collins, an Australian historian, writer and broadcaster whose book Burn: The Epic Story of Wildfire in Australia (2006) gives a popular history of bushfire in Australia. In the wake of the devastating fires that swept through the southern Australian state of Victoria in February 2009, he explains the behavior of fire and the new conditions we now face due to the consequences of global warming and climate change. He provides some historical background about how British settlers began to upset the equilibrium in the country by intensely destroying natural vegetation. Moving to the present, the February fires have just added millions of tons of CO2 to the atmosphere. Dr. Caldicott and Collins agree that politicians almost never make connections between the stronger wildfires and extreme weather the world is seeing now, and global warming, because of their limited knowledge of science. Collins mentions the work of American geologian, Thomas Berry, and the need for people to become reconnected to the earth if we are to survive. In an earlier program from 2008, Dr. Caldicott interviewed Collins about religion's role in saving the planet.

List of American and British defectors in the Korean War
This list names the twenty-two United Nations soldiers and POWs (one British and 21 Americans) who declined repatriation to the United Kingdom and United States after the Korean War in favor of remaining in China, and their subsequent fates. Also listed are soldiers who defected to North Korea.

Prisoner repatriation was one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the long cease-fire negotiations between the forces of the United Nations and those of China and North Korea. The warring factions finally agreed on an exchange of sick and wounded prisoners, Operation Little Switch, which was carried out in April and May 1953. That June, the two sides agreed that no prisoner who did not wish to be repatriated would be forced to do so (this had long been a sticking point in negotiations, with the Chinese and North Koreans wanting all prisoners returned to their home countries). Prisoners who did not wish to go back to their home countries would be given 90 days in a neutral compound near Panmunjom to reconsider before being allowed to stay in enemy territory.[1] Following the armistice that was signed on 27 July 1953, effectively ending the Korean War (South Korea never signed), the main prisoner exchange was free to proceed.
Operation Big Switch, the exchange of remaining prisoners of war, commenced in early August 1953, and lasted into December. 75,823 Communist fighters (70,183 North Koreans, 5,640 Chinese) were returned to their homelands. 12,773 U.N. soldiers (7,862 South Koreans, 3,597 Americans, and 946 British) were sent back south across the armistice line. Over 14,000 Communist soldiers, many of whom were former Republic of China soldiers who fought against the Communists in the Chinese Civil War, refused repatriation.[2] Similarly, one Briton and 23 American soldiers (along with 327 South Koreans) also refused to be returned to their homelands. Two, Corporal Claude Batchelor and Corporal Edward Dickenson, changed their minds before the 90-day window expired. Both were court-martialed and sentenced to prison terms, with Batchelor serving 4½ years and Dickenson 3½.[3]
Shortly before the deadline was about to expire, Americans south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone broadcast a message to the defectors in Panmunjom, saying "We believe that there are some of you who desire repatriation." Defector Richard Corden shouted "Do any Americans want to go home?", and his fellow detainees answered "No!".[4]
This left 22 U.N. soldiers who voluntarily stayed with the Communists after the final exchange of prisoners. The 21 Americans were given dishonorable discharges. This had the unintended consequence of rendering them immune to court-martial when they finally returned to the United States (which the majority eventually did), because they were no longer active-duty military. However, they were still criminally culpable for any acts of collaboration or offenses against fellow prisoners committed while they were POWs.
At about 4:00 am on 24 February 1954, a train carrying the 21 American defectors crossed the Yalu River into China. The Chinese soon shipped some of the men off to study language and politics. Others went to mills, factories, and farms across Eastern China.[1] However, all but 4 of them subsequently returned to the West.[citation needed]
List of defectorsEdit
AmericanEdit
Adams, Clarence (Cpl.). A soldier from Memphis, Tennessee. Adams, an African-American, cited racial discrimination in the United States as the reason he refused repatriation. While a prisoner, Adams took classes in Communist political theory, and afterwards lectured other prisoners in the camps. Because of this and other collaboration with his captors, his prosecution by the Army was likely upon his repatriation. During the Vietnam War, Adams made propaganda broadcasts for Radio Hanoi from their Chinese office, telling black American soldiers not to fight: "You are supposedly fighting for the freedom of the Vietnamese, but what kind of freedom do you have at home, sitting in the back of the bus, being barred from restaurants, stores and certain neighborhoods, and being denied the right to vote. ... Go home and fight for equality in America." Adams married a Chinese woman and lived in China until the increasingly anti-Western atmosphere of the Cultural Revolution led him to return to the United States in 1966. The House Un-American Activities Committee subpoenaed Adams upon his return but did not question him publicly.[5] He later started a Chinese restaurant business in Memphis. Clarence Adams died in 1999. Adams' autobiography An American Dream: The Life of an African American Soldier and POW Who Spent Twelve Years in Communist China was posthumously published in 2007 by his daughter Della Adams and Lewis H. Carlson.[6]

Bell described himself, Cowart and Griggs as "the dummy bunch", saying they were sent to the farm because they could not learn Chinese. They returned to the United States together in July 1955, were arrested, but were released when it was found that the military no longer had jurisdiction over the defectors after they were dishonorably discharged. Bell died in 2003.[1]
Corden, Richard (Sgt.). A native of Chicago. He returned to the United States in January 1958. He was reported to live in Milwaukee in 1961 and moved to Chicago in 1962.[7] He reportedly continued to support Communism after returning to the United States.[1] He died in 1988.
Cowart, William (Cpl.). Returned with Bell and Griggs (see below). Later the three soldiers sued for their back pay. The case went to the United States Supreme Court, which held that Bell, Cowart and Griggs were entitled to their back pay from the time they were captured to the time they were dishonorably discharged.[9]
Douglas, Rufus (Sgt.). Died in China a few months after arrival in 1954. The manner of his death is not certain but is believed to have been from natural causes.[1]
Dunn, John Roedel (Cpl.). Born in Altoona, Pennsylvania on 29 June 1928.[7] He married a Czechoslovak woman while in China and settled in Czechoslovakia in December 1959.[1][7] Died in Slovakia in 1996.[10]
Fortuna, Andrew (Sgt.). Originally from Greenup, Kentucky.[7] He was awarded two Bronze Stars for his service in Korea before he was captured.[1] He returned to the United States on 3 July 1957. He worked in Portsmouth, Ohio, in 1958; in Detroit, Michigan, from 1963–64; and Chicago in 1964. He was reported to be in Gary, Indiana, as of 1964.[7] He died in 1984.[1]
Griggs, Lewis Wayne. Returned with Bell and Cowart in 1955. He was listed as a senior majoring in sociology at Stephen F. Austin State University, graduating in 1959.[11][12] He died in 1984.
Hawkins, Samuel David (Pfc.). From Oklahoma City. He married a Russian woman in China and returned to the United States in February 1957, shortly before his wife was permitted to come to the United States. He successfully petitioned the government to change his discharge from dishonorable to other than honorable. He raised a family, and has given interviews to the press on the condition that his location not be disclosed.[1]

From Jacksonville, Florida.[7] He married a Polish woman in China and moved to Poland in 1960, reportedly settling in Katowice.[1][7] In 1988, he was given permission to settle in the United States.[1] He is the subject of the Youth Defense League song "Turncoat" about rejection of a Korean War defector seeking a return to America.[15][16]
White, William (Cpl.). Married and obtained a bachelor's degree in international law while in China. He returned to the United States in 1965.[1]
Wills, Morris (Cpl.). From Fort Ann, New York.[7] He played basketball for Peking University and got married in China. He returned to the U.S. in 1965 and got a job in the Asian Studies Department at Harvard University. His autobiography, Turncoat: An American's 12 Years in Communist China, was published in 1966. He died in 1999.[1]
Wilson, Aaron (Cpl.). (1932–2014)[17] Originally from Urania, Louisiana.[7] Cpl. Wilson was one of the five American defectors who never went beyond the eighth grade as a child. He was captured in 1950, during the first days of the Chinese-led counteroffensive that stymied the US gains on territory held by the North Koreans. His lack of education and three years of indoctrination are cited as reasons for his decision to stay.[1] He returned to the U.S. on 6 December 1956.[7] Wilson married an American woman and worked in his Louisiana hometown's mill.[1] Later in life Wilson flew a U.S. flag from an 18-foot pole in his front yard. For an interview he gave to the Korean War Veterans Association in 2002 he told the interviewer, "This is the greatest country in the world, and maybe when I was 17 years old I didn't know it, but I do now."[1] He died in 2014.[18]
BritishEdit
Andrew Condron The Sydney Morning Herald – 9 September 1962
Condron, Andrew, a Scotsman of 41 (Independent) Royal Marine Commando, was the only Briton to decline repatriation. Allegations of biological warfare during the Korean War have been reported to have influenced Condron's decision to live in China; however, those who knew him have said he was motivated by admiration of Maoism and Marxist Theory. Regarding his desertion Condron said "I made my gesture because I am against war. I have spent my years in China learning a lot."[19]
The British Government refused to rule out the possibility of arrest and trial if he returned to the United Kingdom. Regarding Condron, Lieutenant Colonel J. L. Lindop of the Intelligence Division of the Admiralty stated that the Royal Navy "regard Condron as a deserter and ... he is liable to be arrested and charged with desertion" and as a result it was difficult for Condron to return to the UK.
In 1955, Condron was included in the editor's list for a book entitled: Thinking Soldiers – by Men Who Fought in Korea. In the following quotation written by Condron he expresses his disillusionment with military life:
'... the soldier today can no longer be viewed as a robot. The more different kinds of experience he has, the more he fits them together in his mind. That is why all those who consider the soldier merely as a thing to be used, like the rifle he carries or the pack he wears, are bound to come out very badly in their calculations. Our experience, and that of the men who wrote this book, included battle, capture and much thought in Korea. We were a few among many thousands.[20][21] This excerpt draws attention to Condron's disenfranchised views regarding his own military service.
Despite political and personal reasons for his defection Condron's lifestyle in China challenged the core socialist values of the regime. The Foreign Office and British Embassy in Beijing reported Condron had been drinking "on a fairly hearty scale" and fraternising with Chinese girls, which was taboo at the time. In 1959 Condron was in a relationship with Jaquelin Hsiung-Baudet, an illegitimate daughter of the French diplomat Philipe Baudet whom he met while working as an English teacher at the Beijing Language and Culture University.[19]
Condron returned to the United Kingdom in 1960 due to growing xenophobia in China,[22] and received an honourable discharge from the Royal Marines. In 1962 Jaquelin moved to the UK to join her then husband. In 1963 Condron worked selling the Encyclopædia Britannica door-to-door, while Jaquelin worked at the BBC World Service. Condron and his wife had a son, Simon, who attended the University of Cambridge in the 1970s. Jaquelin divorced Condron due to alcoholism and later emigrated to the US, his son worked at the BBC and Condron lived in his London flat[23] until his death in March 1996 aged 68.[24]

Ascaryacudamanih (Volume1)
by Dr. K.P.A. Menon
Ascaryacudamani, a drama in seven Acts has been accepted as the earliest of Sanskrit dramas composed in the ,southern part of India. The author Saktibhadra is believed to have been a contemporary of Adi Sankara on the basis of a story that the budding genius had read out the play to the Jagatguru before it was enacted.
The theme for the play has been drawn from the great epic of Ramayana though the playwright has introduced his own innovations by introducing a duplicate set' of Rama, Sita and Laksmana with the magical powers in which Raksasas are proficient. It is the wondrous crest-jewel and the equally efficacious ring gifted to them by the hermits of Dandakaranya that enables Rama and Sita to divine the tricks that were being played on them by the deceitful Raksasas, The emotions that dominate the plays are those of the 'heroic' (vira) and of wonder (adbhuta) with the frequent interplay of srngara, karuna and others also. The play opens with the Surpanakha episode and the construction of the hermitage at Pancavati and ends with the killing of Ravana and the return to Ayodhya in the aerial car after the fire ordeal.
Among the great Ramayana plays Ascaryacudamani has a prominent place along with the famous plays of Bhasa and Bhavabhuti.
Dr. K.P.A. Menon, B.Sc., M.A, LL.B, Ph .D. Chancellor of the Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth, New Delhi is and eminent scholar, scientist an administrator who has held many important assignments in the government including the post of Defence Secretary to the Govt. of India. Epic poetry and dramas have been his special field of interest and he is also trying to unearth the vast treasures contained in Sanskrit literature in diverse fields like agriculture, science and technology, polity etc: He is the Recipient of a large number of national and international awards including the Honorary Fellowship of Biographical Academy of the Commonwealth & International Biographical Centre, Combridge, Distinguished Leadership Award of the American Biographical Institute, Albert Eeinsteir Memorial Medal the Sahityanikasa and the Kalidasa Awards for his Sanskrit writings.
Ascaryacudamani a drama in seven Acts has been generally accepted as the earliest of Sanskrit plays produced in the southern part of India. We have not so far come across any other play of greater antiquity either in Kerala or any other part of South India, nor is there any reference available to any dramatist of an earlier date. The author does make it clear that Sanskrit dramas were being regularly staged in Kerala. At the same time, there is a reference to Saktibhadra and his composition, the Ascaryacudamani, in the treatise on stage-plays known as Attaprakaram ascribed to King Ramavarma Kulasekhara, the royal dramatist, who flourished, most probably, in the latter of half of the 9th century A.D.
It could possibly be assumed that, with the production of Saktibhadra's play the literary genius of Kerala was stepping into maturity from the stage of adolescence. Adi Sankara who is qualified with the title of Jagatguru or the preceptor of the universe and the royal saint Kulasekhara Alvar, the author of Mukundamala must have flourished some time before Saktibhadra, but their compositions are not to be judged on the basis of literary merit alone. Adi Sankara was concerned with higher levels of knowledge and in his case literature was only a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge or the Knowledge Absolute. Similarly, the compositions of Kulasekhara whether in Sanskrit or Tamil, get their pre-eminent place primarily on the basis of the devotional ecstacy generated in the minds of devotees and readers.
Of the voluminous literature produced in Sanskrit during this period very little has been preserved for posterity though the number could not have been small. From the early centuries of the Christian era the great epics and classical compositions of the great masters of Sanskrit literature had been making their entry into the South-western part of Bharatavarsa with surprising rapidity as will be apparent from the influence exerted by them on the authors of this region. In the Prelude to Ascaryacudamani the playwright is being introduced as the author of such poetic compositions like Unmadavasavadattam. Since the numerical expression is in the plural form of Sanskrit Unmdavasavadattaprabhrtinam not in singular or dual form it could be assumed that he must have been the author of at least three major works and they had all attained some renown. These could have been kavyas of different types and following the dictum Natakantam Kavitvam the budding genius appears to have made an attempt to establish himself as a poet of merit through a play of the Nataka category presented to a critical and discerning audience. The staging of a Sanskrit play produced by a poet of Kerala could be considered as an important water-mark in the history of Kerala's literature. The dramatic compositions of Bhasa, Kalidasa and others were being presented to the scholarly crowd all the time and it required a lot of courage to produce a play that could be introduced on the stage as a rival or substitute to the well-known works of the great masters. That was what was being attempted by Saktibhadra and history tells us that he succeeded.
The Author and his times We are able to gather only the barest of details about the author of Ascaryacudamani from the Prelude. In speaking about himself the author of the play seems to have taken Kalidasa as his model rather than Bhavabhuti and others who have left some details about their family connections and place of birth. We can gather this much only from the conversation between the Stage-Manager and the Actress that Saktibhadra belonged to the Southern part of India and he was the author of certain other works like Unamadavasavadattam. It is not even mentioned that he hailed from Kerala. Though the author's name is given as Saktibhadra it does not really mean that it was his real name. Many poets used to assume pen names that were different from their actual names. There are some who earned a name by certain attributes characteristic of their compositions. It is believed that the poet Sukumara got that name by which he became famous due to the mellifluent style of his poetry, Sukumarapadalalityam as it is known. All that we know in the present case is that the author describes himself as Saktibhadra in the Prelude to the play and that this was his maiden attempt in the field of stage production.
According to Uloor. S. Parameswara Aiyer the great litterateur and historian in this field, Saktibhadra belonged to a brahmana family of Chengannur village. The household was known as Chennikara Svarupam within the taluk (a revenue division) of Kunnathur. Saktibhadra was a title and not his real name which might have been Sankara. This is the general belief not supported by any concrete evidence. This brahmana household had some functionary responsibility in respect of a local shrine of Thiruvarpur. The family was left with only two female members towards the latter half of the 18th Century A.D. and they were adopted into another brahmana household by about 1791 A.D. Thus the household to which Saktibhadra belonged became extinct towards the end of that century and their titles passed on to another brahmana household of Vakka Vanipuzha.
Judging from the only work of his that is available to posterity Saktibhadra must have been a great scholar, well-versed in all the sastras. Unfortunately we know nothing at all about his preceptor or educational career. There is one anecdote or rather a legend that connects him with Jagatguru Adi Sankara. It is being mentioned that Saktibhadra had the privilege of reading out his newly composed drama Ascaryacudamani to Adi Sankara while he was camping at Chengannur. The great saint listened to it with a good deal of attention but made no comments because he was observing a vow of silence for one whole year. Saktibhadara felt terribly pained that the great preceptor did not make any comment at all. His work must have been mere trash in the eyes of the great scholar, he thought, and in his despair he destroyed the manuscript.
After the year of silence was over, Sankara happened to visit that village once again and he made interested enquires about the scholar who had read out his newly composed drama to him. In his conversation he addressed Saktibhadra as Bhuvanabhuti, an expression that surprised the author himself. Sankara was referring to the effective use of that word in one of the verses in the 2nd Act of the play.
It was great news to the author that his play had been so much appreciated by the Jagatguru. Sankara then enquired of him how his stage production was progressing. Saktibhadra replied that he had confined his drama to the flames and, on further enquiry, he added that he had no other copy of the destroyed manuscript. The story goes on that Sankara dictated the whole play as preserved in his memory to the author who himself had forgotten most of it by this time. One cannot be sure whether much credence should be given to this story because similar stories are current about certain other authors and compositions also connecting them all with Adi Sankara. What is relevant for our study is the fact that there are some anecdotes correcting the author of Ascaryacudamani with Adi Sankara. It supports the is common belief that Saktibhadra is the earliest playwright of Kerala and might have lived one or two centuries before the royal dramatist of Kulasekhara dynasty.
Though we get very little information about the author himself from his only work that has survived, the drama itself helps us a lot in drawing our own inferences about the progress of Sanskritic studies in the state of its origin. The two epics Ramayana and Mahabharata must have been quite popular in the Cera kingdom for a few centuries if playwrights could think of dramas with episodes from these epics for their themes. Ramavarma Kulasekhara of 9th century A.D. had drawn from the Mahabharata for two of his plays, Subhdradhananjayam and Tapatisamvaranam and he had dealt with some episodes of, Ramayana in his third play Vicchinnabhisekam, Saktibhadra is dealing with certain well-known episodes of Ramayana in his play, possibly the only one composed by him. Apart from the epics the poet seems to have been fully conversant with the dramas of Kalidasa and Bhasa and quite possibly with Bhavabhuti and others as well. The learned audience of the period must have been regularly witnessing the play of the great masters and the author of Ascaryacudamani himself must have been one of the most regular among them. That must have put the idea into his head that he too could make an attempt in this line following the foot-steps of his predecessors hailing from the northern part of the country. That he considered: it a bold and innovative task is apparent from the conversation between the Stage Manager and the Actress in the Prelude. At the very outset the Stage Manager is remarking that he is carrying a heavy load of responsibility on his shoulders. On being questioned about it, he clarifies that he was to stage for the first time in the history of the stage, a Sanskrit play composed by a poet from the southern part of India. The Actress is full of apprehensions on this account. What comes from the mouth of the Actress could actually be taken as the apprehensions of the author himself about his maiden venture. "How could a poet from the southern part of India have the courage to produce a play?" That is what the actress has in her mind as she comments.
Actress: "Unbelievable indeed, The sky may very well put forth blossoms and oil come out of sand if a drama could come from the south".
The poet is full of justifiable self-confidence. Merit does not depend upon the region and there is no reason why some one from the south cannot produce a drama provided he has the merit. That is how he feels about it even like Kalidasa who asserts in his first stage production that old is always not gold and something need not be decried on the ground that it is new. Saktibhadra makes it clear that he has already given a satisfactory account of himself through some of his literary productions like Unmadavasavadattam. He must have felt that he had become sufficiently mature to try his hand at a full-fledged stage production coming under the category of Nataka.
While it is not possible to make a definite pronouncement about the date of Saktibhadra it could be safely assumed that he must have lived a few decades or may be, even a centruy prior to the author of Subhadradhananjayam and Tapatisamvaranam. A contrary view has been taken by Prof. Rama Pisharoti on the ground that in the prologue of Tapatisamvaranam there are references to Sudraka, Kalidasa, Harsa and Dandin but not to Saktibhadra. This argument based on Saktibhadra not figuring in the list of illustrious names quoted cannot be considered as convincing in the absence of any other material.
According to Wintertnitz "The actress who asks the Sutradhara if he is going to stage a composition of the great poets Sudraka, Kalidasa, Harsa Dandin and so on, is not bound to give a complete catalogue of the poets known at that time. That the names are chosen at random may be concluded from the mention of Dandin who is not known as a dramatist, while we should expect only authors of dramas to be mentioned." On the other hand, it would appear that Saktibhadra's play was being regularly staged along with other plays of Bhasa, Kalidasa and others when stage-guides for Sanskrit plays were composed during the regime of the royal dramatist Kulasekhara by his court poet, Tolan. Kulasekhara plays were also added to the list but Ascaryacudamani was having a prominent place during this period which it has all along retained. There is no reference to the absence of Sanskrit plays composed in South India in the Prologue of Subhadradhananjayam and Tapatisamvaranam as we find in Saktibhadra's play. Under these circumstances it could be safely concluded that Saktibhadra is a predecessor of Ramavarma Kulasekhara and was according to present knowledge, the path-breaker in this field for the whole of South India.

1. This handsome bunny melted my heart in his Easter best. Seriously though…bowties and suspenders are everything.
3. So Nash is not really into "hunting" for eggs. He's more into cracking them open and shoveling candy into his mouth…sometimes still in the wrapper. He's lucky he didn't pop a button on those skinny pants!
4. Face-painting, cookie decorating, crafts, games. I love the Easter festival at church…and so does this gal.
5. Sweet tulips from a friend brightened my kitchen and my mood all weekend long.
7. After a moving Easter service, everyone came back to our house for pizza and egg dying. My dad also taught the kids how to "blow out" eggs by putting a hole in both ends and, you guessed it, blowing. It was grossly entertaining for everyone.
8. Easter morning we woke up to snow…yes, SNOW. (What in the world, Kansas?!) But that didn't stop the kids from digging into their goodies from the Easter bunny. Arden loved her purse and Nash his car…but both were totally obsessed with some random character cups that I found at Aldi. Cheap presents for the win!
9. Later that morning we headed back out to my parents' for an indoor treasure hunt with all the cousins. They followed clues around the house to find their eggs…while Nash sat back and attempted to inhale more candy. Anyway…I just love it when all six of these cuties are together.
While the cuteness was at an all-time high this weekend, the promise of Easter shined brighter than everything else. A promise that means more to me than ever. A promise that I'm counting on.
OMG! How cute are those two? I say it was worth being a little late too. Glad you had a great weekend!
Your weekend looked like all sorts of wonderful! My boys have the same relationship with my Dad, too! I love it!
Glad you had a family-filled, fun Easter! Those sibling pictures on your porch are the CUTEST!
Awww….the porch pics! They melt my heart! So sweet!
SO stinking adorable! I saw that little picture of them kissing on Instagram and about died from cuteness overload. I'm with ya on the suspenders and bow ties. What is it about them that just makes my heart melt into a million pieces every time? And snow?! This weather is crazy.We were just in Kansas last week and it was 80! I'm looking forward to the day when the weather will stay at a fairly consistent temperature. Hot or cold – just pick one! 🙂 I'm so glad you all had a great Easter weekend!
I just adore your littles, always so sweet and fun looking!!! and the tulips! So pretty—my fav.
This sounds like the perfect way to spend the holiday and weekend! Your littles Easter outfits are the cutest!
Those highlights are much too cute! The suspenders…the porch pics…love!
Love their Easter outfits and seriously those flowers are just beautiful! I'm going to get some of them from Trader Joes for my sister's shower this weekend! Glad you guys had a great weekend!
Oh my goodness, those photos of Arden and Nash are PRECIOUS! So adorable! Glad you had a wonderful Easter!
Seriously THE CUTEST pictures of the kids! I LOVE the kissing one!
Arden and Nash win Best Dressed on Easter! So stinking cute!
Your churches festival sounds like a blast!
Looks like the perfect family filled weekend! The photos are beautiful!!

The aim of this study is to report survival and results of therapy and possible prognostic factors in women with pathologic stage II endometrial carcinoma. Forty-two patients with pathologic stage II endometrial carcinoma were treated at the department of Radiation Oncology of the Medisch Spectrum Twente between 1987 and 1998. All patients received external radiotherapy following standard surgical procedures and no adjuvant systemic therapy was given. From the 42 patients 21 had a pathologic stage IIA and 21 stage IIB. The median follow-up was 62 months. The overall recurrence rate was 21.5% (9/42). Seven patients had distant metastasis, of which three also had locoregional recurrence, vaginal vault and/or pelvic. The presence of myometrial invasion (> ½) and/or lymph-angioinvasion showed a significant relation with distant metastasis (P = 0.017). Stage IIB showed more recurrences, 33% (7/21). There was a significant different 5-year disease specific survival for stage IIA and IIB, respectively, 95% and 74% (P = 0.0311). Patients with a differentiation grade 3 and stage IIB showed a significantly poorer (P = 0.003) 5-year survival of 48.6% (P = 0.003). Results obtained in the present series of patients are in accordance with the literature. The present treatment policy seems justified, except for patients with pathologic stage IIB and grade 3, in which a more aggressive treatment should be considered.

I think this is supposed to be a sleep shirt but I think it would look fab as a top... particularly love this sort of lacey number paired with black leather.
A good fit for a UK10 (loosely fitted). Would also work on a UK8 more oversized.
The colour is a very pale peachy pink.

When Diss Museum was offered a travelling exhibition on the History of Market towns there was a problem of space.
The Shambles building was already full of World War One, Airship, Burston Strike Centenary and other items for the new season.
Then manager Basil Abbott had the idea of putting the exhibition in the window of one of the empty shops.
The old Blockbuster video shop in St. Nicholas Street, with two large windows, seemed ideal. So Mr. Abbott contacted landlord Mr. Len Ramsbotham, who readily agreed to having the exhibition there.
The project is an initiative by Museums Norfolk, SHARE and the Arts Council.


Nature changes colours every year. The Looduskalender web however appears to have been travelling in an orbit that is somewhat more remote from the sun, and the colours and look have remained the same for nearly five years.
As of today the new LK web season is open.
The new web has a little larger images, an updated header, clearer access to the cameras, a collection of links at the bottom of the page and a form to send us your observations from nature which can be accessed from the right-hand column. These are some of the immediately noticeable changes. Faster page loading, a better image on large screens and some other odds and ends hopefully make viewing Looduskalender even more pleasant.
If something that does not work quite as it should still remains hidden in some corner please let us know.

Q: What is the meaning of "Dual Accuracy" on this datasheet? I'm trying to determine the uncertainty in some of my measurements, and one of the variables I measure is temperature, using a Tenma 72-7715 thermometer. I looked up the datasheet to find the measurement uncertainty of this instrument, and this is what I found:

What does the "dual accuracy" mean? My initial thoughts are that it means the thermometer is accurate to $\pm$ 0.2% of the measured value + 0.6 °C but that latter part seems like a very large error for this instrument.

I have IBS but I am still not diagnosed with it really. I got it after my gallbladder was taken out and never realized it could be from that until i read things on these healthboards. Funny thing is, my doctor still has never put these two things together which sorta makes me mad cuz i think I might have Bile Salt Diarrhea. She does admit that she thinks I do have IBS but I would have to get all these tests with my colon to see so I dont know if I even want to be diagnosed. Anyways she tells me to take 3 to 4 antacid pills before u eat anything bad and that helps tremendously. Plus I eat fiber. I barely ever have this problem anymore unless I have my period since I have been doing this. But I found out that antidepressant pills also help it and I started taking zoloft the same time I started taking the antacid pills for panic attacks. Maybe a mixture of all that has helped.

Charles Ortel
Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St welcomed back returning guest, respected former value investor on Wall St and one of the top forensic accountants on Wall St, Charles Ortel http://charlesortel.com/.
Charles was warning people about accounting problems in GE, GM and the large Wall St banks well in advance of the 2008 financial crisis and his warnings proved prescient. Charles has been on a long and time consuming crusade for the truth about the Clinton Foundation and exposing the "largest ever charity fraud" in world history in excess of $100 billion.
During this 50+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Charles about the news today how Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said that the Trump administration won't pursue additional investigations about the Clinton private email server/Clinton Foundation. Links to stories:
1) http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11…
2) http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/22/politic…
Charles thinks Trump is playing poker, doing a rouse or intentionally doing a head fake. Notice how the Trump camp didn't say the FBI, DOJ and IRS have stopped current investigations of the Clinton Foundation?
Next, Jason asks if/when Obama and/or Trump pardon Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton if the pardon will cover all the crimes from the Clinton Foundation? Charles says absolutely not. He says the Clinton Foundation is most likely being investigated by state tax agencies in the US, foreign tax agencies (for setting up unregistered Clinton Foundation subsidiaries) and the Clinton Foundation has so many potential counts of wire fraud, mail fraud and solicitation (more than Corrine Brown received over 300 years in prison for!) that a blanket pardon can't cover everything.
Jason also asks Charles about any additional information that came out about the Clinton Foundation when Julian Assange and Wikileaks released the 36 batches of Podesta Emails?
It appears that the accounting firm for the Clinton Foundation has acted like Arthur Anderson did in covering up the massive accounting fraud at Enron.

The Browne Advantage
A Tribute to John Browne (1951-2018)
Founder of Browne's Auto Supplies
The Browne Group of Companies is the business legacy of John Browne – entrepreneur and business leader. Forty years ago he determined that the circumstance of his employment would never allow him to provide for his young family with means to give them the chance for education and a life of opportunity that was not afforded to him. So, with grit and determination, the spirit of an entrepreneur, his wife Sheila's blessing and one truck he started Browne's Auto Supplies. He criss-crossed Newfoundland, ferried the truck to Labrador and from Sunday to Friday began building a company that is now the leading automotive business in Atlantic Canada. His love of conversation, his fondness for meeting new people and commitment to his family were the driving force for his desire to be successful. A man of his word, contracts were made with a handshake. He was a tough negotiator. One would have to wake up awfully early to get ahead of him. He worked hard for every deal. His business dealings were fair and his business relationships lasted forever. His son Neil said he was the smartest man he ever knew.
John Browne would tell you, though, that his legacy is not a successful business. He would tell you what was most important to him was his family and that included his loyal employees, many of who worked for him for over 25 years and remain today with the company. One of his greatest traits was the capacity to bring people together – family, friends, business associates. His friendships lasted a lifetime.
When, in his estimation, his son Neil had learned the business well enough to manage the day to day operations, John Browne allowed himself the odd day off and enjoy what he had built. This meant snowmobiling on the west coast of Newfoundland. A game of golf which he only began to play at the age of 49 because he could not afford to play before then. For all his success his needs were simple. Time at the cabin with family and friends, a trip to sunny Florida with Sheila and his beloved country music. His legacy as a businessman continues to be honoured and respected everyday by his employees. His legacy as a husband, father, grandfather and friend is fierce. It is etched on the hearts of his family – wife Sheila, children Neil, Annette, Deanne and his beloved grandchildren Spencer, Grace, Sophia, Victoria and Jacob.

Open cast mine hauling activities have a high cost impact in terms of diesel usage. Output may also be considerably lower if these activities are carried out by diesel-only powered trucks. But if the trucks are designed to use both diesel and electric power, a trolley-assist power line can be applied to mine hauling activities.
By applying trolley-assist, mine hauling activities can save up to 50% in fuel cost, and improve the productivity of the fleet by 10% or more.
We provided a trolley-assist solution to one of South Africa's largest diversified resource groups. The truck automatically switches to electric mode when it detects and attaches to the overhead line powered by a pantograph transformer. And once the truck leaves the line, it switches back to diesel.

Take the Care/of quiz at: http://bit.ly/2Cqu6Zw and use the code "modernbuilds" for 25% off your first order!
Today on Modern Builds I'm experimenting making a metal coffee table base without any welding. I had a lot of fun trying this idea out and learned a lot in the process. I know it's not as strong as a welded table, but is a great option for the casual DIY'er that doesn't have the resources to weld. Make sure and watch the demo/explanation towards the end of the video before criticizing or critiqueing please. ALSO, I beefed up the written article for this project with a 3D model and step by step plans, so make sure and check that out if you plan on building this coffee table for yourself.
Welding is definitely a skill that should be learned.
Wow, this is really informative! What about the feet? I want to make sure are clean and flush with the metal and anti-scratch on the bottom.
I think this design would be wobly regardless. Looks very sleek. Maybe make a smaller version?
I recommend if you can not weld because of any reason. Great!!!
What paint did you use that adheres directly on the metal without primer!?!?!?
Hey Mike! I would like to build a desk with a metal base but I can't welt. Do you think your method will be strong enough in the end to hold a wooden plate on top and some standard desk stuff like books? Will it wobble a lot?
Love your videos they are so informative .
Hey! You seem like a nice fellow, and I'm really concerned about your lungs. Please wear a respirator while creating dust (especially metal), and consider ways to keep your shop clean with a dust collection system that connects to the dust ports on your machines. I'm increasingly aware of how bad wood and paint dust can be for your nose and lungs and would hate to see you get sick later.
That's great! But who doesn't love welding!?
Good presentation and demonstration! Enhanced with your fair explanation about the pluses and the minuses of this project.
I'm a welder and i am tired of welding tablrs and stands. Thanks for the idea and i could make my own non weld frame and make it also stronger.
With only one screw for a joint, it might wobble a bit…. that's the difference with the welded joints – they're stronger…still a brilliant project….
Can you make a diy furniture without any fancy professional machines but with only a hand held jigsaw because most DIY people don't buy and keep big expensive machines in their homes.
One more thing let me guide I want to make table for my desktop computer tower shape and monitor make a video on this.thanks again.
Excellent and thanks for good idea kindly tell about tools and uses and when buy new tool what things saw to buy like what speed of that tool and safty measures during using tools.thanks.
Thanks plus put rubber cups on leg tips.
Love the exposed wood bottom too! It can even be sanded down if it's not level.
