She was spotted on Facebook by producer Ambika Hinduja who cast her for a role in Teen Patti which became Shraddha's debut movie. But Shraddha became more famous when the sequel of Aashiqui released as Aashiqui 2 opposite Aaditya Roy Kapoor. She was also trained as a singer when she was a child as her maternal side of the family has been classical singers.
Educational Qualifications Background
Shraddha Kapoor was brilliant in her studies and she even scored 95% in the twelfth standard. She studied at Jamnabai Narsee School and at the age of 15, she was shifted to American School Of Bombay. In her new school, she became friends with Athiya Shetty and Tiger Shroff.
She was just 16 when Salman Khan had offered her first film after seeing her in a school play which she had rejected because she was planning to become a psychologist. After completing her high school years she had joined Boston University to major in psychology but later dropped when she got her second offer to work in the film industry.

Shraddha Kapoor is one of the highest-paid actresses as she is multi-talented and knows what she's doing. She has done her best in critically acclaimed movies like Stree, Haider, Chhichhore, and Saaho. She hasn't yet worked with big stars of Bollywood but is still a very desirable and successful star actress. She generally charges INR.23 crores rupees per movie she works for.
As of 2022, Shraddha is estimated to have a net worth of around$ 10 million USD. She earns through her work in movies, a lot through brand endorsement deals, appearance in print and video advertisements for mobile phone brands like Realme, and some smartwatches and brands and singing too.

This family consists of several DNA-directed RNA polymerase III polypeptides which are related to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RPC82 protein. RNA polymerase C (III) promotes the transcription of tRNA and 5S RNA genes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the enzyme is composed of 15 subunits, ranging from 160 to about 10 kDa . This region is a probably DNA-binding helix-turn-helix.
DNA-directed RNA polymerases EC (also known as DNA-dependent RNA polymerases) are responsible for the polymerisation of ribonucleotides into a sequence complementary to the template DNA. In eukaryotes, there are three different forms of DNA-directed RNA polymerases transcribing different sets of genes. Most RNA polymerases are multimeric enzymes and are composed of a variable number of subunits. The core RNA polymerase complex consists of five subunits (two alpha, one beta, one beta-prime and one omega) and is sufficient for transcription elongation and termination but is unable to initiate transcription. Transcription initiation from promoter elements requires a sixth, dissociable subunit called a sigma factor, which reversibly associates with the core RNA polymerase complex to form a holoenzyme [PUBMED:3052291]. The core RNA polymerase complex forms a "crab claw"-like structure with an internal channel running along the full length [PUBMED:10499798]. The key functional sites of the enzyme, as defined by mutational and cross-linking analysis, are located on the inner wall of this channel.
This family consists of several DNA-directed RNA polymerase III polypeptides which are related to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker's yeast) RPC82 protein. RNA polymerase C (III) promotes the transcription of tRNA and 5S RNA genes. In S. cerevisiae, the enzyme is composed of 15 subunits, ranging from 10 kDa to about 160 kDa [PUBMED:1406632]. This region is probably a DNA-binding helix-turn-helix.
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the HTH_9 domain has been found. There are 15 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.


I'm interested in modern poetry and novels. For many years now my paintings are based on that. Most of my inspirations come from history, myth and poetry. I think repeating life experience, learning from them (awareness , tragedy , …) and living in that cycle is what makes an artist go to studio every day.
From now on I will try to find opportunities that reach in depth for concept and context equal. With that hope in my mind, making a media (language) from main media (painting) in very long process , speaks by it self because I cant find any word to express myself or how I feel when I'm working in my studio.

The most renowned and trusted gemmological grading laboratories are the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the American Gemological Society (AGS), the Hoge Raad voor Diamant (HRD), the International Gemological Institute (IGI), and the 2 versions of European Gemological Laboratory (EGL International and EGL USA). From these 5 laboratories, the 3 that set the standard are the GIA, AGS & HRD.
The GIA is widely regarded as the most reputable and recognized grading laboratory in the world, with the strictest standards. Founded by the creator of the GIA, The American Gemological Society (AGS) is a newer certification and markets itself around the fact that it offers an Ideal cut grade which is one higher than the Excellent from GIA and is as strict as GIA in every respect. The Hoge Raad voor Diamant (HRD) or Diamond High Council is almost as renowned worldwide as GIA but not as popular and it is 95% as strict in its grading.
BEWARE: Even though these are the 5 leading international diamond certification organisations their grading criteria do vary and are not equally strict. Please be aware of the differences when choosing your diamond (see below).
All the certificates differ slightly in layout, terminology and grading systems, with some including diagrams and symmetry or proportion grading and others being simpler. However, the two main grading aspects to consider when comparing certificates are colour and clarity, for their evaluations largely determine the price of a diamond and yet they are not consistently graded across the board. A colour grade, for instance, may differ in up to two grades (sometimes more) from one certificate to another and yet this is not always reflected in the price, so beyond understanding simply how colour or clarity grades work, it is essential to know how to interpret and compare them.
Besides the 5 popular types of certificates that reputable jewellers offer, there are a multitude of other types of certificates not always independent, such as "in house" certificates which are typically graded more generously even than EGL International certificates and which cannot be compared with independent internationally recognised certificates.
* Note: Although not published anywhere, these differences are generally accepted within the diamond trade as correct and are also based on our experience.
When it comes to comparing lab grading entities, it's more important to watch for consistency than strictness of grading. For example, the GIA will not grade a diamond the same way the IGI rates a diamond. The reliability of the Color and Clarity grades and in some instances the Cut grades is only as good as the certifying lab's reputation. But if one lab consistently gives a single Clarity grade higher than another lab, that lab is by no means less "authentic."
The main other differences between the certificates lie in the differences between GIA, HRD and AGS. GIA gives separate grading for symmetry and polish which the HRD groups together under the heading of "finish." HRD also includes one clarity grade termed "Loupe Clean" which is not offered by the GIA. The AGS provides more information on the cut grade and offers one grade higher than the traditional poor-to-excellent scale of GIA, called "ideal cut," as well as a number scale from 0-10 on which to grade diamond cut.


This year's dealer tour took place in Morocco, the most colorful and vibrant country in North Africa between 8-11 February.
With the start of the new season, our traditional dealer trip to evaluate the past season and to talk about our plans for the next season started with the city tour of Casablanca.
During the annual meeting held during the trip, sales evaluations were made and the most successful dealers of the previous year were given plaques.
We would like to thank our dealers who accompanied us during our travels with gala dinner and city tours.


Elastomers and natural rubber are very sensitive in their original state, which is a problem with the additional input of temperatures. To not damage the material and to not jeopardize the quality of the end product, our customers use one of our BOOSTER pumps designs. The series can be tempered hydraulically, can establish high pressures and can optionally be equipped with tempered shafts.
It is important to transport the material in a gentle manner in particular when processing natural and synthetic rubber.
Rubber is a demanding and sensitive medium in its original form that has special properties that must be considered during the handling processes. Our years of cooperation with the large rubber manufacturers guarantees pumps of the highest quality and integrity, which are made exactly for the process stages. Temperature deviations through mechanical friction are prevented through tempered shafts.

Everything we do in life has a certain amount of risk associated with it. Travel is one of those things.
Recently I was flying home after attending BloggyCon. I had had a layover in Denver, so I grabbed a late lunch and boarded the plane just like normal. It was essentially a typical non-eventful air travel day. As we pushed away from the terminal and started heading out to our runway the pilot quickly stopped the plane. I had an isle seat, but I did't think much about it, as it is not uncommon for pilots to stop quickly. However, we did not move again. A guy sitting on the other side of the isle against the window says, we are in the grass. At first I didn't think I heard him correctly, "In the grass?" I ask. He confirmed it. The pilot then makes an announcement that says our aircraft had lost brakes and he put the engines into emergency reverse mode, hence the quick stop.
We were in good hands. Photo taken by the lady with the window seat in my row.
Since that day I have had several people ask me what the atmosphere was like on the plane. It was calm. No one screamed, no one was hurt. It didn't take us long to figure out that we were very glad we lost brakes while still on the ground as opposed to landing in Reno. As we sat on the plane, a maintenance crew worked on the brakes below us and the pilot gave updates as he knew them. The flight crew did their best to answer questions and provide information. Everyone got to know their neighbors. There was a sense of togetherness and camaraderie with the people near me.
It was finally decided that the plane could not be towed back to the terminal at that time. They were going to evacuate the plane and bus us all back to the terminal. We unloaded the plane from the rear. They had numerous emergency service professionals to assist us as well as the flight crew and the airport representatives waiting for us. We all made our way onto buses that took us back to the terminal.
First time to leave a plane by the rear exit.
Back to the airport we go.
We were greeted in the terminal with water, meal vouchers, and confirmation that we would be boarding another plane that night headed to Reno. Everyone seemed relieved we would be heading home and that we weren't going to be staying overnight in Denver.
The second plane finally arrived, we reboarded with a new flight crew. This flight went just as planned, and we had a safe landing in Reno. Although this incident caused about a three hour delay, it is safe to say that I personally was very glad to find out we did not have brakes in Denver before we took off. I cannot even imagine what the possible outcome would have been had we discovered that when we landed in Reno. I think every person on that plane probably spent a few minutes reflecting on what is important in their life and thanked someone or something for giving us a positive outcome.
I boarded another plane this week. The reward outweighed the risk for me.
I wanted to give a shoutout to United airlines (the airline I happened to be flying during this incident), as they did an excellent job handing a volatile situation. They provided continuous updates, were friendly and helpful, sent a survey about our experience immediately, and offered points or a cash credit toward our next flight. It was a good case study in crisis communication.
Disclaimer: United Airlines has in no form or fashion compensated me for writing this post. I am just glad to be here today to share my story about United flight 296.
Have you ever had a close call when traveling?

ACEVO on Charity CEO pay in The Guardian
Published: Thursday 19 December 2013 - 12:30
The Guardian reports on the highly debated subject of charity CEO pay.
Bearing in mind what we know about boardroom pay, what would you expect to be the annual salary for the chief executive officer of an organisation with a famous brand name, about 4,000 paid employees and an annual turnover of about half a billion pounds?
Let's assume, for good measure, that this chief executive has a first-class degree in chemical engineering from Cambridge and an MBA from Harvard. What is she or he worth? Are you thinking half a million? A million? More?
In fact the details above describe Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, who earns less than £220,000 per year. I will be the first to agree that this is a far from a miserly sum. It is what is commonly known as shitloads of dosh. On the other hand, it is less than the take-home pay of at least 40 local authority chief executives, and about a 20th of the pay of the equivalent boss in the private sector.
This week, Sir Stephen Bubb, head of Acevo, which represents chief executives from the charity and non-profit sector, was subjected to a ritual grilling by the parliamentary select committee on public administrationover the issue of charity executive pay. He was in bullish mood, telling journalists: "There are all sorts of inequities in pay, but while nobody gets worked up about footballers, the chief executive of the Red Cross is pilloried."
He has a point. The truth is that for all but a handful of huge charities, this is a non-issue. There are 163,000 registered charities in the UK, give or take. More than 95% of them have a total annual income of less than £500,000. Only around 1% of charities employ 1,000 people or more, and of those the median salary of their chief executive is £60,000. British charities handle about £60bn per year and employ about 750,000 people, and a few hundred of those earn six-figure salaries. Now I have absolutely no idea what the chief executive of the Royal Opera House does to justify a salary of £741k; I find it obscene. I am also aware that it is freakishly unusual.
Most people have little understanding of charity law, or indeed the day-to-day practice of charity management. Few realise that a charity's job is to make as much money as it can, and then spend that money on its aims and objectives. The law cares little as to how the money is made.
Yes, some charities will rattle cans and pull at heartstrings. Others will invest, often with a shocking lack of concern as to the ethics of their investments. Others operate as service delivery companies in their area of expertise. For about 30 years, politicians of all stripes have been actively pressing charities in this direction, making the so-called third sector a significant player in the dismantling of centralised state provision, and the tendering out of health and social care services.
In the past decade, national and local government grants to charities and the voluntary sector fell by a third to £3bn. Over the same period, the amount received in the form of service delivery contracts went up from £4.5bn to £11.2bn. A small number of the largest charities are, wittingly or not, actively complicit in the ideological dismantling of the NHS and statutory social care services, for their own gain, while simultaneously sacrificing their independence and ability to advocate on behalf of the vulnerable.
I find it faintly depressing that Bubb is hauled over the coals on the issue of chief executive pay. The plain truth is that almost everyone who works for a charity, at any level, from a minimum wage shop worker to a glittering blue-chip CEO, could be making more money, often for less work, in the private or public sectors. The vast majority of charities serve vital functions, and the vast majority of those who work for them, just like those who support them, do it because they care deeply for the cause and would prefer to work for something other than their own bank balances.
But the sector also has its problems, and many of them can be traced back to that urge to behave ever more like private companies in the cut and thrust of the free market. That is a process that Bubb has done more than anyone to champion and accelerate. Charity executives should have some difficult questions to answer. As the issues go, their pay barely registers.

Which Voices And What Do They Say? A Fight For The Soul Of Our Media
David Brewster
Bari Weiss
Bari Weiss, a leaning-conservative writer for the editorial page of the New York Times, has just quit her job, saying that the paper didn't stand up for her when she was attacked for politically incorrect opinions. She wrote, "My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views."
Bari departed with this resignation-letter blast at The Times. An excerpt:
"Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions."
Partly this uproar is fallout from the departure of the former editorial page editor, James Bennet, a deeply respected editor who had wanted to broaden the ideological spectrum of the page and was forced out after running an explosive op-ed by the Republican Sen. Tom Cotton. Weiss characterized the conflict over Bennet as a culture war between the younger, "woke" writers and those over 40 more dedicated to a range of opinion. She said this conflict is spread across many papers in the nation.
Surely, finances are forcing papers to favor younger, cheaper writers. Surely the country, at least in large cities, is drifting leftward. Another more financial reason was once explained to me by a notable writer at the New York Times. The bias of the paper, he said, is not to liberalism but to urbanism, a close cousin. The reason is economic: it's easier and more efficient to print and distribute papers in an urban concentration, so the Times caters to urbanist (normally liberal) readers. Of course, as the Times switches to millions of digital readers, this factor may diminish.
And what about in Seattle? The Seattle Times is now really two papers: the news side which exhibits the same leftward drift of most media (urbanist, younger, woke writers coming into dominance, following the big stories of leftist urgency), and by contrast the editorial page, which reflects publisher Frank Blethen's fiscal conservatism (and social liberalism).
For the rest, Seattle media exhibits a growing monoculture of reporting that is too-predictably sympathetic to victims and underdogs. "Follow the victim" has supplanted the old mantra of "follow the money." This orientation seems particularly true for public broadcast media, with its reliance on member contributions and the need to cultivate ideological loyalty. Media have always had a yen for younger readers, since advertisers favor the young, who are more willing than stubborn oldsters to switch brands and try on new identities.
But I would say the main reason is the rise of Young Turks to positions of authority in mainstream newsrooms, pushing aside the aging Boomers and their complacent moderation.
The other trend is the defection of moderate and conservative writers to the echo chamber of FOX and right-wing radio and blogs. Like everything else in America, media are becoming ever more tribal and polarized and identitarian. Seattle, which used to be a kind of swing-state, ideological broker, now aspires to leftist vanguardism. Our media are coming off the sidelines and joining the parade.

Doug Norberg July 15, 2020 At 10:48 am
David, as usual, well written. "identitarian" great word .
How 'bout: leftist vulgarism rather than: vanguardism
there is a lot of hand wringing over loss of small papers and local journalism . the journalists are on a suicide mission but don't know it.
Kathleen Cain July 15, 2020 At 12:16 pm
This is a disappointing and self-pitying move, especially coming from someone as (apparently) tough and determined as Weiss always seemed to be. When she claims that she is leaving the NYT because of bullying by her colleagues, she is indulging in exactly the kind of fragility and whining that she so eloquently called out when other journalists did it. Writing opinion journalism has never been a popularity contest. That's a truth that she seemed to welcome and acknowledge in the past. Has she forgotten about that? And which one is the real Weiss? Is it the whiner or the warrior?
Her departure also contributes to the very lack of editorial diversity at the NYT that she is now complaining about. There's some irony.
David Brewster July 15, 2020 At 1:30 pm
To Doug Norberg: Not so sure about the suicide mission; more like a survival mission. Advertisers, sponsors, donors all like a more sharply defined audience, where their ads "resonate." I suspect much of the ideological alignment has more to do with these marketing decisions than intolerance in the newsroom. It used to be that media wanted "mass," so they could appeal to a wide audience, such as department stores (once the mainstay of city dailies). Now mass is with Google and Facebook, and so to stay alive the rest of the media has to practice market segmentation. Not sure how to cure this.
Here's the story, incomplete so far, of Andrew Sullivan's leaving New York Magazine. Sullivan has always been an odd fit for liberal magazines, as he is an eclectic blend: gay, Catholic, and "Tory." Sullivan says he'll explain his reasons for leaving in a column soon. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/14/media/andrew-sullivan-resigns-new-york/index.html
Tim Spelman July 16, 2020 At 1:01 pm
I appreciate the point of view you are expressing. And I also appreciate the articles I have been reading in Post Alley, and the tradition of the Weekly that it is carrying forward. I have to say, however, that the profile of your writers leans heavily Boomer/post-Boomer and that you would benefit from more opinions from younger writers.
Kathleen Cain July 16, 2020 At 2:25 pm
Tim Spelman, I couldn't agree with you more. Too much of any single thing is a bad thing. Diversity (of age, political slant, race, sexual identity, income level, whatever) is essential because it benefits everyone, insiders as well as outsiders.
Linda Jenning July 20, 2020 At 3:56 pm
I agree with the concerns about shutting down too many important voices.
But regarding Bari Weiss, it appears that some of her claims don't hold up. Here's a piece that provides some context about Weiss. https://newrepublic.com/article/158535/self-cancelation-bari-weiss
NICHOLAS+O'CONNELL July 20, 2020 At 9:31 pm
Nicely put, David! The ideological drift of many Seattle publications leftward leaves many important stories uncovered and results in a stultifying lack of diversity of opinion. It's good to see that Post Alley is resisting this drift. It makes for a sharper, livelier, more interesting publication.

ALMONDSBURY UWE have appointed former Arsenal midfielder David Hiller as their new manager.
The 40-year-old replaces Danny Phillips, who is due to move to Dubai with his work.
Hillier made 142 appearances in eight seasons for the Gunners, and played 16 games as they won the First Division title in the 1990/91 season.
He joined Portsmouth for £250,000 in 1996 before Ian Holloway took him to Bristol Rovers in 1999.
Hillier, who works in Bristol as a fireman, recently managed Almondsbury's Toolstation Division One rivals Oldland Abbotonians.


Within an aesthetic experience such as RPing, players must bracket their natural selves and enact a fantasy self. In losing themselves to the game, they become engrossed in the experience and this is what makes the game fun. The acceptance of the fantasy world as a temporary real world gives the game meaning and the creation of the fantasy scenario and culture must be made to be engrossing. The inaction of the game means the character has different knowledge than the player. It further goes how the player identifies with the character. Do they play the character as themselves or as a medieval character would or some hybrid in between.

The best and brightest are preparing to descend on Marina del Rey for the fourth annual World Animation and Visual Effects Summit, set for Nov. 2-4.
The World Animation and Visual Effects Summit is gearing up for its fourth edition, set for Nov. 2-4 at the California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey, Calif.
The intimate event offers one of the best venues for making connections with animation and visual effects professionals from all around the world over an informative, intense and rewarding three days.
The schedule includes A-list speakers and experts from every aspect of the business delivering keynote addresses, participating in panel discussions and mixing and mingling at informal gatherings.
The first day of the event will be capped with gala party honoring the best and brightest in the animation and visual-effects industries. Previous events have been among the most memorable and fun industry events of the year, assembling a uniquely A-list collection of producers, filmmakers, voice actors, studio executives and visual effects artists. And this year promises to be no different.
New to this year is the addition of master classes on the third day of the summit. The first to be announced is a session with Jose San Ramon, founder and chief creative officer of Ilion Animation Studios in Madrid, Spain. Ramon's class will speak to animation being a new asset class in the financial community and to issues that most investors and studio executives are unaware of.
The class will benefit from Ramon's experience speaking to a wide global financial community in turning Ilion into a successful worldwide animation studio that has produced the 2009 feature Planet 51. Currently partnered with Paramount, Ilion has evolved into a multiproduction studio, aiming to produce various feature films concurrently in order to meet the growing worldwide demand for top quality digital content.
All of which should perfectly complement summit programming in which animators and VFX artists explain their cutting-edge techniques, tech developers show off their newest tool sets for getting the job done, and producers and executives talk about all the best ways to use animation and visual effects content into the marketplace and maximize its success.

Q: Sharing JavaScript code between .NET desktop and browser I have a set of core, complicated JavaScript data structures/classes that I'd like to be able to use both in the browser as JavaScript and run on the desktop with .NET 3.5.  Is it possible to compile web-friendly JavaScript into assemblies that my C# code can access?

*

*Managed JScript - Is there a compiler for this available that will produce something that can run on the desktop CLR?  I've only seen released examples for the Silverlight runtime.  It doesn't sound like it's officially available on the desktop but I'm willing to try something less blessed, like can I compile with the Silverlight tools and then run on the desktop CLR?

*JScript .NET - Sounds like it's got enough custom language extensions where having the same code run in a browser would be really hard, but maybe there's a way...?

If neither of those work, I guess my options are to:

*

*Have a C# version and a JavaScript version which I have to keep in sync (yuck).

*Write a preprocessor of sorts that runs at compile time to turn my JavaScript into JScript .NET or something that I can compile into .NET assemblies.

*Script#: Looks like this turns C# code into JavaScript code.  Not awesome since I'd prefer to be able to heavily tune JavaScript code directly, but it could work.

Anyone have success with any of these options?

A: JScript.Net is actually mostly EMCAScript3 compliant.  As long as you treat your code as a processing library (only have it do crunching, etc - use callbacks to interact with the program), you should be fine.
I'm doing something similar, using javascript as my core parsing library, and then using it within python, dotnet, and php.

A: Managed JavaScript (IronJScript) appears to have been killed.  See this answer:

A: How about another option:

*

*Host the javascript application inside your desktop app via winforms' WebBrowser control?

Is this possible?
You can also access the DOM from WebBrowser control but not everything you want is fully supported.

Anne C. Conway (born July 30, 1950) is an American lawyer and Senior United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. She is also serving as a Judge on the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

Education and career

Conway was born in Cleveland, Ohio. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from John Carroll University in 1972 and her Juris Doctor from the University of Florida College of Law in 1975. At UF Law she was executive editor of Florida Law Review and interned with Legal Aid. After graduating law school, Conway was a law clerk to Judge John A. Reed Jr. of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, serving from 1975 to 1977. She was in private practice in Orlando, Florida from 1978 to 1991. She joining the firm of Young, Turnbull & Linscott before moving to Wells, Gattis & Hallowes a year later. She was made a partner at Wells, Gattis & Hallowes in 1981. In 1982, Conway began practicing with Carlton, Fields, Ward, Emmanuel, Smith & Cutler.

Federal judicial service

President George H. W. Bush nominated Conway to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on July 24, 1991, to the seat vacated by Judge George C. Carr. Confirmed by the Senate on November 21, 1991, she received commission on November 25, 1991. She served as Chief Judge from 2008 to 2015. She assumed senior status on August 1, 2015. She is stationed at the Orlando Division of the court.

In April 2016 Chief Justice John Roberts appointed Conway to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a term starting May 19, 2016.

Judge Conway approved a 2017 FISA Court warrant for Carter Page, a former adviser to the 2016 Trump Campaign. The warrant application was released publicly in July 2018, marking the first time FISA warrant application materials were made public. The heavily-redacted, 412-page application cites many sources, including confidential informants. Among those many sources, the application cites the Steele dossier, leading former assistant U.S. attorney and legal commentator Andrew C. McCarthy to write, in reference to the fact that the renewal submission contained unverified allegations, an idea he had previously considered "crazy" ("It turns out, however, that the crazies were right and I was wrong,") that "the newly disclosed FISA applications are so shoddy that the judges who approved them ought to be asked some hard questions," and "what happened here flouts rudimentary investigative standards."

Other service

Conway serves on the board of advisers for the Center for Governmental Responsibility at the University of Florida.

I firmly believe that content is the most important part of a website, and that visitors are more likely to repeat their visits to your site for new content rather than great design or cool widgets. So when I read "CHART OF THE DAY: The Internet Is Finally, Primarily A Content Platform" I was cheered.
I opened up the chart, at first glance it seemed great, but when I squinted at it a little more I wasn't so sure.
So I went through their figures of actual time spent on each of their activities and my graph looks a little different.
It seems to me that some of the "communications" we were doing in 2003, we are in 2009 doing under the community category. This makes sense; my sunday brunchers sort out time and place via facebook – whereas once we would have used email or in really ancient times called each other. I use flickr rather than email to share photos (although I might still email people the link) and aren't we all tweeting now?
I also took a look at the change, and here the obvious winners are community and content. Community has gone from zero to 181 minutes per month of our online time. Of the 413 extra minutes per month that we're spending online 196 of them are in consuming content. If this change continues it won't be long before content really is king.

Sri Lanka Expects Higher Spending in 2010 to Rebuild After War
Sri Lanka may increase public spending in 2010 as the government builds roads, ports and power plants after the end of almost three decades of war on the South Asian island.
Government expenditure, including debt repayment, is forecast to total 1.78 trillion rupees ($15.7 billion) this year, according to the Appropriation Bill tabled in parliament today. The bill outlines spending estimates ahead of the annual budget to be presented June 29. The total spending in 2009 was 1.75 trillion rupees, according to finance ministry figures.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who won re-election in January after ending the Tamil Tiger rebels' 26-year fight for a separate homeland, has pledged to spend $1 billion to help drive growth to the fastest pace in three years in 2010. Still, Sri Lanka plans to nearly halve its budget shortfall in three years as faster economic expansion after the war boosts tax revenue, Treasury Secretary P.B. Jayasundera said April 6.
"With a lot of capital spending planned, the government needs to find ways to generate revenue and curtail the deficit to win the confidence of foreign investors and donors," said Saminda Weerasinghe, research manager at Acuity Stockbrokers Pvt. in Colombo. "Fiscal indiscipline could also constrain monetary policy."
The International Monetary Fund said last month it may give Sri Lanka the next installment of funds under its $2.6 billion bailout package as the South Asian government pledged to cut its budget deficit. The Washington-based lender said in February it may consider changing its aid program to the country as the government failed to contain its 2009 budget shortfall.
New Tax Regime
Sri Lanka's 2010 budget will include a "new tax regime while rationalizing public spending," Jayasundera said in April. He said the government aims to narrow its budget gap to 5 percent of gross domestic product by 2012 from 9.7 percent in 2009 and an estimated 7.5 percent in 2010.
The government may spend an estimated 30 billion rupees on the ports and aviation ministry, 83 billion rupees on highways, 26 billion rupees on power and energy and 60 billion rupees on a new economic development ministry, according to the bill.
The bill estimates defense spending at 202 billion rupees for 2010. The outlay on defense last year was 189 billion rupees, according to the central bank.
The government's annual budget, which is usually presented in the preceding November, was delayed by parliamentary elections in April.

Q: Fetching data without transaction Below is the sample code snippet with spring transaction . My question :-Will same session be used for fetching entities at line1 and line2 ?
My understanding :- I believe yes and it will be ensured by spring transaction
@Transactional()
    public void method1(
     //fetch entity1 from dao  with the help of entity manager//line 1

     // fetch entity2 from dao with the help of entity manager//line 2

    // now I fetch thru method entity.fetchLazyField()// line 3
    )

Now if i remove @Transactional(). I believe session will be closed as soon as entity1 is fetched and separate session will be used for line2. Right ?
At line 3(once  @Transactional is removed) , will I be able to fetch data or session is closed exception should be thrown  ?
I am not pasting big xml configuration and complete dao code which just fetch the etity with entity manager.  Transaction propagation attribute is Required

A:
Will same session be used for fetching entities at line1 and line2 ?

yes you are right (assuming you are not using PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)

Now if i remove @Transactional(). I believe session will be closed as
  soon as entity1 is fetched and separate session will be used for
  line2. Right ?

I don't think so, but check this and this.

By Kayla Dwyer
May 17, 2019 | 6:57 AM
A 28-year-old man was found dead in his vehicle after his car landed upside-down in a creek in a rural part of Schuylkill County early Friday morning, according to state police.
His passenger flagged down police as they were driving through nearby Auburn Borough shortly after 3 a.m. He then led the troopers to the scene, on rural Berne Drive just north of Deer View Drive in South Manheim Township.
The man told police he was in the pickup truck when it crashed, flipped onto its roof and came to rest in the creek. Police found the driver dead in the vehicle.
The crash and the driver's cause of death are still under investigation.
Police are withholding the victim's name until they reach his next of kin.

Rose Madder è un romanzo horror scritto da Stephen King e pubblicato nel 1995. Racconta gli effetti della violenza domestica e, stranamente per un lavoro di King, si basa su elementi della mitologia greca, in particolare le erinni (probabilmente basate sul mito del Minotauro).

Trama
All'inizio del libro, ambientato nel 1985, il marito di Rose, Norman, la picchia mentre è incinta di quattro mesi, causandole un aborto. Rose immagina per un attimo di scappare da casa ma rinuncia all'idea: Norman è un poliziotto, ed è bravo nel rintracciare le persone. Ha anche un temperamento violento ed è stato recentemente accusato di aver picchiato un'afro-americana di nome Wendy Yarrow. Il processo e la commissione per gli Affari Interni lo hanno reso ancora più scorbutico ma ne esce con solo un ammonimento perché la testimone chiave, Wendy Yarrow, viene trovata uccisa (si scoprirà poi che è stato Norman ad ucciderla).

La storia fa un salto avanti: in un mattino di 9 anni dopo, quando Rose sta rifacendo il letto, nota una macchia di sangue sul lenzuolo, probabilmente perso la sera prima dal naso. Norman l'ha colpita in faccia per avergli rovesciato addosso del tè freddo. Rose si rende conto che ha subito passivamente gli abusi di Norman per quattordici anni e che, se continua a farlo, lei potrebbe anche lasciarci la pelle. Ma quando Rose si chiede: che succederebbe se Norman non la uccidesse? Come sarebbe lei dopo altri quattordici anni di violenza?

Rose (che misticamente inizia a chiamarsi "Rosie Real" (Rosie Vera, nella traduzione italiana, in omaggio ad un album di Carole King), prende quindi la difficile decisione di fuggire da casa, da una città senza nome nel nordest (alcuni riferimenti fanno credere che si tratti di Buffalo), e prende il primo bus diretto fuori città.
Dopo l'arrivo a destinazione, in una città del Midwest su di un grande lago (forse Milwaukee ma più probabilmente Chicago), è disorientata e scoraggiata. Fortunatamente l'addetto allo sportello di assistenza viaggiatori, Peter Slowik, la indirizza ad una casa famiglia chiamata "Figlie e Sorelle", F&S. Qui, fa subito amicizia e, con l'aiuto della direttrice, Anna Stevenson, ex moglie di Slowik, trova un appartamento ed un lavoro da cameriera d'hotel.

Poche settimane dopo Rose decide di dare in pegno l'anello di fidanzamento, ma scopre che è solo una pietra senza valore. Prima di abbandonare il banco dei pegni nota un dipinto raffigurante una donna con un vestito color rosa di robbia (il cui nome in inglese è proprio Rose Madder) ed inizia subito ad amarlo. Scambia l'anello con la tela, che stranamente non ha la firma dell'autore, solo le parole "Rose Madder" scritte a carboncino sul retro. Fuori dal negozio uno sconosciuto le chiede di leggere un passaggio di un libro, ed è così impressionato che le offre un lavoro in una ditta che produce audiolibri. Il figlio del proprietario del banco dei pegni, il trentenne Bill Steiner, la invita a cena. Sembra che dopo aver sofferto per anni, finalmente ottenga quello che vuole: un buon lavoro, una casa tutta sua ed un uomo che l'ama.

Norman è deciso a punirla per averlo abbandonato. Usando le sue capacità quasi soprannaturali, la trova ed inizia a darle la caccia. Mentre continua ad avvicinarsi a lei (e inizia a perdere l'autocontrollo), Rose scopre che il nuovo quadro non è normale come sembrava.

Da un lato, la sua immagine si allarga mostrando più cose del mondo raffigurato. Da un altro, Rose scopre che può diventare un portale per un altro mondo. Proprio in questo mondo nuovo, c'è una donna chiamata Dorcas che somiglia a Wendy Yarrow, che ne assiste un'altra, quella che compare al centro del quadro. Non sapremo mai il vero nome di questa donna per cui verrà chiamata "Rose Madder". King, da molti indizi, sembra faccia capire che questo mondo sia lo stesso della serie La Torre Nera, molto probabilmente nella città di Lud.

Rose Madder chiede a Rose di salvarle la bambina da un labirinto sotterraneo in cui risiede un mostro simile a un toro monocolo e cieco, chiamato Erinni. Rose lo fa, e Rose Madder promette di ripagarla. Rose torna nel suo mondo e quasi dimentica l'accaduto, ma quando Norman, dopo aver ucciso Peter Slowik, attacca alcuni dei suoi amici del F&S, uccide anche la direttrice Anna Stivenson, e la segue al suo appartamento, capisce che le serve l'aiuto che le era stato promesso.

Rosie induce Norman, che si sta progressivamente trasformando in una nuova incarnazione del toro Erinni, a seguirla nel mondo del quadro, dove incontra una fine violenta e sanguinosa per mano di Rose Madder. Rosie torna nel suo mondo e conduce una vita normale senza più contatti con Rose Madder. Sposa Bill, al quale ha fatto dimenticare i momenti passati nel mondo ultraterrena con alcune gocce di un liquido magico, e tempo dopo ha con lui una figlia, ma scoprirà che la rabbia violenta che caratterizzava Norman e Rose Madder è rimasta dentro lei. In questo momento ricorda che Rose Madder, prevedendo il problema, le aveva consegnato dei semi magici dicendole "ricorda l'albero". Rosie pianta i semi in segreto vicino al suo lago preferito e scopre che quei semi si trasformano, negli anni, in un meraviglioso albero i cui frutti, però, sa che sono letali.

Well it's August. I've had a bit of a hairy month in July trying to convince myself I didn't hate writing. LOL It REALLY felt like I did.
Here's the prequel to Devotion--some of you saw it on JoviNation, but I made a little blog for the people who don't go on the boards.
Jamie will be up in a little bit----Devotion will be starting soon.
Woohoo!! Can't wait Tara!! The Hat was awesome & if it's any indication, Devotion will be as hot & as rivetting as your other work has been!! You have talent & I for one am so glad you share it with us!! You rock!!
Oh that would be a treat Diane! Yes this weekend would be good Tara. We ff junkies are getting low on new things to read. Maybe Jovi should hit the road to give us inspiration heh!!
Taaaaaaaaaara, I need an up date to at least one of your stories. I always come here first, but I'm having trouble keeping the faith. Please give me something soon.


The Norwegian Data Inspectorate (Datatilsynet) has given Google a fine of 250,000 NOK (that's U.S. $42,262 – Dissent) for having illegally collected personal information about Norwegian citizens.
In 2010, Datatilsynet found that Google had collected data related to Street View service. At the same time, the company acquired personal information, passwords and e-mails from unsecured wireless networks. This was illegal, and the inoectorate demanded information to be deleted, according to NRK .

Details should be identified well in advance of the start of a project to assure the proper materials are delivered to the job site. Contractors should also obtain detailed drawings that depict how to properly assemble waterproofing systems over these details, and they should request job-specific detail drawings for nonstandard conditions.
These conditions require that contractors install waterproofing systems in steps.
Every manufacturer and system will use a slightly different combination of accessory materials. However, read on for a general explanation of how to use these products and what to avoid.
Reinforcing fabrics and tapes allow liquid-applied waterproofing systems to bridge gaps that are often found where penetrations in the waterproofing field occur and ensure adequate thickness over the transitions. These penetrations can be electrical conduit, plumping, or in the form of drains and scuppers. The reinforcing provides a strong "joint" for the waterproofing where these gaps occur.
When waterproofing plywood sheathing, for example, all the seams between sheets should have reinforcing so the waterproofing doesn't flow into the gaps creating thin spots and potential weak points where tears could occur if the plywood moves.
A reinforcing fabric is a roll of fabric that must be adhered to the surface. The fabric is usually adhered with liquid waterproofing. When the initial coat of waterproofing has enough strength to hold the fabric in place, a second coat of waterproofing can be applied to the top of the fabric.
A reinforcing tape is a fabric with a sticky adhesive on one side. The tape can be stuck into place and does not require the initial coat of liquid waterproofing. The cost associated with tape is typically less than fabric due to the speed at which it can be applied. When comparing costs, it is important to factor in the price of the initial coat of waterproofing needed for fabric.
There must be no wrinkles or fish-mouths present in the tape or the fabric. If any exist after the system is dried/cured, they must be cut out and properly repaired. Wrinkles and fish-mouths provide small tunnels through which water travels, reaches the gaps in materials, and continues, using the path of least resistance.
A trowel grade mastic product is a viscous liquid-applied material that can be used over sharp edges to assure proper thickness or to fill in gaps and cracks prior to installing a waterproofing system. The product may come in pails, cans or caulking tubes.
Expansion joints, large cracks and voids may need to be filled with foam backer rods and then topped off with trowel grade or caulking material. This is typically necessitated where movement is expected. Using a foam backer rod followed by trowel grade or caulking material will maximize the life of the sealant in the gap.
Certain systems utilize uncured neoprene flashings or metal flashings to achieve results similar to those provided by reinforcing fabrics or tapes.
Review details with waterproofing manufacturer.
Ask for standard and nonstandard detail drawings that illustrate proper techniques.
Obtain the necessary accessory products.
Execute carefully! Take extra time to install the system over details. Defects in the details almost always result in leaks.

ILOILO CITY, Jan. 12 (PIA) –- Disposition of high profile cases and achieving a zero backlog are among the top agenda of the Office of the Ombudsman for 2012.
Ombudsman-Iloilo officer-in-charge Atty. Ma. Sonnette Daquita said during the weekly cable TV Program "Hangpanay" anchored by the Philippine Information Agency, that these two priorities are on top of the eight-point agenda of the Ombudsman.
Daquita said Ombudsman Carpio Morales has given all Ombudsman offices to zero-in on high profile cases involving high-ranking officials, large sums of money over P50 million and other grand corruption cases.
"Ombudsman Carpio Morales is telling us not to be satisfied in catching the "small fish" but must go after the "school of big fish" lurking in government offices," Daquita said.
Lodged at the Iloilo office now and elevated for investigation of the Ombudsman in their central office, is about 10 high profile cases, Daquita added.
"For cases involving high-ranking officials in corruption cases involving over P50 million, our central office does the preliminary investigation," Daquita further said.
She added that the Office of the Ombudsman is also bent on reducing the volume of non-priority complaints and cases, like non-corruption cases, frivolous cases and cases involving offenses, which may be coordinated or referred with other agencies, like the Civil Service Commission and the Department of Justice.
As to zero backlogs, Daquita said there are more than 11,000 pending cases in Ombudsman offices in the country, and Carpio-Morales has taken the steps to implement strict enforcement of the prescribed time frames under existing rules.
She added that the enormous workload and the few investigation officers, especially lawyers in the Ombudsman contribute to the seemingly impossibility of accomplishing a zero backlog, but they are starting now, until the end of the term of Carpio-Morales.
"Here in our office we only have two lawyers and a few well-trained investigation officers, and we have no provincial offices," Daquita said.
Ombudsman Carpio-Morales has initiated the operation of a computerized centralized Uniform Case Monitoring System, which can facilitate the effective monitoring of cases, which also depend in part on the collective efficiency of the human resources and internal processes.
On the whole, the office plans to create a Committee on Rules which will consolidate and revise the Rules of Procedure of the Office of the Ombudsman.
Meanwhile, the Ombudsman-Iloilo plans to continue with its impact projects started in 2011, which have generated support from various groups.

Q: MT / MD mismatch when compiling cryptopp despite no library dependencies I'm currently trying to compile a static 64 bit version of cryptopp (more precisely, the cryptlib VS project) using MS Visual Studio 2013 on a Windows 8.1 machine. Since it is a static release build, I've set the Runtime Library to Multithreaded (/MT).
However the linker throws several of the following errors:
error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MT_StaticRelease' doesn't match value 'MD_DynamicRelease' in adhoc.obj

In most of the similar cases I've found here and on google, this was caused by one library setting /MT and another one setting /MD. The weird thing about this case is that the linker does not include any libraries (except maybe some Visual-Studio-internal magic) and there are no additional include directories. The linker command line assembles as:
/OUT:"build\x64\static_release\cryptlib64.lib" /LTCG /MACHINE:X64 /NOLOGO

In the project file, I couldn't find any other <RuntimeLibrary> settings except for those on project level so I'd assume there is no .cpp file which has a /MD switch.
To sum it up, this means my library defines /MT, but something which is used by crytlib internally seems having /MD defined. Is there a way to find out what object/cpp/define/library/whatever has that switch defined?

A: This linker diagnostic is a 100% accurate hint that you are in fact linking .obj or .lib files that were built wrong.  Almost always .lib files that you don't know about because you didn't have to explicitly list them as Additional Dependencies.  MSVC++ makes it pretty easy to specify link dependencies without having to use the setting, like using Add Reference or #pragma comment(lib, "yadayada.lib") in a source code file.  Very convenient of course, but not so visible when you are trying to troubleshoot linker errors like this.
It is easily diagnosable however, the linker has an option to show you what it is actually linking.  Use Project + Properties, Linker, Command Line and add the /VERBOSE option.  The linker now gets very chatty to the Output window, showing you every .lib file it loads and what symbols it uses from the .lib file.
The .lib name should be enough of a hint to know where to start looking, you ought to know the #include from there.  Whether you can really build with /MT is still up in the air, if it is an import library of a DLL then the odds dwindle rapidly.  Avoid forcing it, having more than one copy of the CRT in a process is fraught with trouble.

A: Cleaning the solution and then rebuilding might help. It seems the linker is still trying to use the old object files (before you applied /MT).

A:
The weird thing about this case is that the linker does not include any libraries (except maybe some Visual-Studio-internal magic)

There is a good chance that is where its coming from if you are certian its not something in your gear.
If Dynamic C++ Runtime Linking is an option for you, then you might consider using it for Crypto++. To ease the troubles of converting Crypto++ to Visual Studio 2010 (and above) and converting to /MD and /MDd, you can use vs2010-dynamic.zip. Just unpack it over top of the existing Crypto++ sources.

Aberdeen & Rockfish 2-8-2 "Mikado" Locomotives in the USA
The Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad was incorporated in 1892 and eventually ran from Aberdeen, NC through Raeford, NC and on to Fayetteville, NC. In the mid 1920s, Fort Bragg in North Carolina began to expand and as a result the A&R became very busy delivering materials for the expansion of the Army post. With the continuous press of business the short line railroad increased its motive power through purchases of second hand "Mikado" type locomotives, with two coming in 1929, one in 1935 and the last coming in 1941. This small railroad did a huge job during World War II moving material and troops in and out of Fort Bragg.
There is one surviving Aberdeen & Rockfish 2-8-2 "Mikado" type locomotives. It is number 40, which is operational on the Valley Railroad. Number 40 had 48" drivers and 20" x 28" cylinders.

Why Detroit Lions' Adrian Peterson says he could play past 40
Carlos Monarrez
At this point in the NFL season, most players start feeling their age. And then some.
Not Adrian Peterson.
The Detroit Lions' 35-year-old running back said Thursday he feels as good as ever. And then some.
At the start of the season, Peterson said he thought he could play another five years and still play when he's 40.
Now Peterson thinks he could possibly play beyond 40.
[ This behind-the-scenes Lions executive will help with GM search ]
"Man, nothing has changed," Peterson said during a conference call. "Still feeling great. Still feel amazing.
"I feel like I can play this game for a few more years. I could actually play past 40. But I think that's the point where like hey you know what, enough is enough."
To be clear, Peterson didn't say he plans to play past 40, but only that he feels good enough for it to be a possibility. And that might be hard to argue against since Peterson has scored four touchdowns combined over the past two games and has averaged at least 3.5 yards per carry in each.
But after doing some quick calculations in his head, Peterson dialed it back a bit and said his goal is to play another four seasons, to reach 18 seasons.
"I feel like that's a good career and a good mark to inspire the generations coming, the current guys and generations after me," he said. "I feel like, 'Hey, this guy played for a long time.' They say the running back (career) is only what, two or four years, something like that? How about 18, you know?"
Longevity is one thing, but Peterson has another goal in mind. He admitted he would like to make a run at some rushing milestones. But there's one goal that stands out.
"Is that one of the underlying things I want to accomplish?" he said of reaching milestones. "Yes, it is. But winning a championship has always been a goal that I'm going after. That right there, that's what motivates me the most is winning a championship. Say if we win one this year or next year, I'll still be trying to play the game because I can still do it.
"If I felt I couldn't be productive or my body was telling me like hey, OK, it's enough here, you're really pressing right now. Then I would hang it up. But that's not what it is. So I always say the eye in the sky doesn't lie. You can watch it and you see that hey, I look better that a lot of the young running that's in there right now."
[ Adrian Peterson: Let's help fight hunger in Detroit ]
Peterson is likely to clear a milestone in Sunday's game against the visiting Green Bay Packers. He has 3,171 career rushing attempts; four more would put him ahead of LaDainian Tomlinson for sixth all-time. (Emmitt Smith is No. 1, with 4,409 attempts.)
But Peterson wasn't aware he was so close to Tomlinson, a fellow Texan he grew up admiring.
"My mindset has always been go out there and put your best foot forward and good things will happen," he said. "And that's what's happened to me. That for me is black and white. That's the easiest way to be successful. Obviously put the work in, but that's the easiest way to approach it."
Then Peterson admitted he learned a lesson that made him regret chasing milestones.
"I tried chasing something once before and it didn't work out well," he said. "So told myself to revert back to the same mindset that I've always had."
That came in 2012, the year Peterson was named NFL MVP after he rushed for 2,097 yards with the Minnesota Vikings. Peterson was closing in on Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season record of 2,105 yards; in the next-to-last game of the season, against the Houston Texans, he wanted to rush for a specific number of yards to give him a chance to break the record the next week.
"And that was the first time I ever did that, like, 'OK, make sure I focus on getting 150, 175 yards or whatnot,' " he said. "And they shut us down in the run game. I think I had maybe 13, 14 yards.
"And just watching the film, a lot of it I was pressing. I was trying to do too much. So that was just kind of a reminder for me just to sit back, relax and just go."
[ Adrian Peterson vs. Texans: You saw us stop ourselves on offense ]
It may have felt like 14 yards to Peterson, but he actually had 25 carries for 86 yards. But the lesson still applied; the next week against Green Bay he forgot about the record and rushed for 199 yards (to finish with 2,097 yards, eight short of the record).
"Coming back to that last week against Green Bay, that was the mindset I had," he said. "I didn't care about the record. I simply said, 'Hey, if it's meant to happen, it'll happen.' But the main the goal is win this game, which would give us the playoff berth and put my best foot forward.
"And 200-and-some yards later I ended up a couple yards short of the record. I didn't even know until the (post-game) interview."
