C.D. On Songs: Sunshine Riot // "Cotton Fevour"
On 12.06.11 | In C.D. On Songs | by C.D. Di Guardia
It is December. Ignore the sweat trickling down your brow and remember that. I feel the need to remind you of this, because I am otherwise worried that you'll be all "This show is on December 9 – it feels like I have months until then!" and then you'll run the risk of missing Sunshine Riot's gig this Friday night at the Middle East Downstairs. And then you'll feel like a huge dummy, and we all know you are not. So pay attention. And listen on.
Sunshine Riot – "Cotton Fevour"[Download It!]
These guys try to trick us. Ok, maybe they're not duplicitous; we had to expect some sort of to-do from someone with the word "riot" in their name. Yet they start out "Cotton Fevour" in almost solemn style, looking us earnestly in the eye and singing in soft, hush-hush tones. They even use the British totally wrong spelling of the word, to throw us off. Like that's gonna be the whole song. As if! The track shows its true colors in a rollicking, rasping kick-ahead of a movement, and we're all "Ah, so that's how it is, Sunshine Riot. That's how it is."
The contrasting sections give this track a nice one-two feel, as if the song itself is going through natural progressions of emotion and energy. The key to this contrast is its overarching theme and sound – something that ties the two parts together in their difference; I guess that is why it is "overarching," in that it arches right over the thematic walls you expect to appear between parts of a song that are sort of slow and soft and ones that are loud and raucous.
The song's transformations to and from its two modes of being are clearly depicted in the vocal performance, which, while obviously being the voice of the same person, changes drastically to fit both feels. The quieter vocal presence is clear-eyed and softly intimate, whereas the rockin' one is raspy, ranty and maybe even a little out of hand. The wildcard of the vocal ushers the song through its paces, and serves as a capable companion for the listener. That's you. - Boston Band Crush
"Great . . . genre-defying songwriting going on here." - The Daily Dose

Quick Sand Love
Written By: Jonny Orton
Pre chorus
There's a place where the sky
only ends where it starts
and the tide is always high
on the shores of your heart
So breathe in that warm, blue July
and chear up girl, let me tell you why
She got the quicksand love
the kind that gets you stuck
the kind that drives you nuts
and you can't get enough
There is no time like the present
there is no day like today
with the sun on your face
and nothing left to say
and I don't really care what your daddy said
no I don't really care what your daddy said!
Written By: Sunshine Riot
If you feel like your best songs are behind you,
Play on.
There's a perfect note in the air,
She cannot wait to write all your wrongs.
I don't know where I'm going.
I don't know where I've been,
With this broken heart of mine.
Better Days are up ahead,
Better times are on their way.
Met a girl from Los Angeles
She waiting on a bus and some make believe.
She said she never cried a day in her whole damn life
I said dry your eyes, I know what it's like.
Quicksand Love
So breathe in that warm blue July
And cheer up girl, let me tell you why
She's got the quicksand love
The kind that that drives you nuts
and the wind in your hair
And I don't really care what your daddy says

Q: Increase Memory Usage in Docker (Linux) I am currently running a docker image on Linux, where I am supposed to compose videos together thanks to moviepy. Because I work with lots of videos, the process becomes quickly quite heavy to bear. I came to a point where it did not work anymore, with an exit code 137, but with OOM flag = false when running docker inspect <CONTAINER>.
However, I ran again my image in a container with docker stats running in background, and I saw the used memory increasing progressively towards the limit memory (15 Gb), and then it crashed. I actually see this threshold in Docker's memory in the Total Memoryparameter when running docker info. So I wonder two things :

*

*Is the allocated memory equivalent to a share of my computer's ram, or from the heap memory (computer's disk size) ? Because I surely have enough hardware on this computer to provide, but as it has around 16Gb of RAM, I suppose it is ram. I just wonder then why it cannot use heap memory to store things ... Because of the VM docker creates ?

*The only workaround I found was to separate my videos, which is more of a quick hack than a fix. Is it possible to tell a dockerfile to start and run another container once of them has maxed out memory ? (Would be only possible if it is heap memory and not ram)

It is possible that I completely miss a point in Docker's way of running things, do not hesitate to explain any mistake I'm making. Thanks for reading.

Pradosh Vrat, otherwise called Pradosham, is committed to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The Pradosha fasting and ceremonies are seen on the thirteenth day of lunar fortnight. There is a fascinating story said in the Puranas which portray the root of the Pradosh Fasting. The Pradosh vrat katha is connected with Samudurmanthana or Churning of sea and Lord Shiva drinking the toxin Halahala.
To get Amrita or the mixture of life, Devas and Asuras began the Samudra Manthan or stirring of sea on the guidance from Lord Vishnu. The agitating of the sea created the shocking toxin Halahala which had the ability to eat up the universe.
God Shiva acted the hero of the Devas and Demons and he drank the toxin Halahala. The devils and divine beings proceeded with the stirring of the sea lastly they got the Amrut or mixture on the twelfth day of lunar fortnight.
The Devas and Asuras thanked Lord Shiva on the thirteenth day. Satisfied with the dedication, Lord Shiva is accepted to have moved between the horns of Nandi the bull. The time when Shiva was to a great degree cheerful was the Pradosham period or the nightfall time.
It is accepted that Lord Shiva is to a great degree glad amid this period and favors his devotees and satisfies their wishes amid the Pradosh period on Trayodashi day. Shiva aficionados perform Pradosh for accomplishing moksha and satisfying their fantasies.


We hold the Key to Remote Influencing and Embrace The Final Peace of Oneness!
I am about to leave in 48 hrs for the Middle East and especially Jerusalem where I will be doing some very intricate High energy work for one month.
I will release in the next couple of days, for time is now of the essence, extremely crucial written information together with another interview I gave today to a radio show, about what is really happening behind the human scene/plane and causing great rumbling and fractures in our Cosmic design and Planetary structures. The earth and mind shattering events we have all been witnessing are a testament to the incredible difficulties Creation displays before the day of the Great Shift is upon us.
You will be told what that day is all about and how to prepare for it.
You will understand that it is not a burst of the outer sun that will penetrate all, but a great and Infinite burst of the Inner Great Sun.
You need to listen first to the interview listed above, in order to understand and integrate the more advanced material which will be soon forthcoming.
Many already are, and even more of you will soon be, rattled at your core. I need you to integrate this Cosmic point of view in order to mitigate the coming shock and understand that there is much much more happening than meets the human eye or understanding.
Please integrate the knowledge with an open heart and make it a knowing you carry within, in order to save you and yours from extreme duress and, as a matter of fact, sing to your heart a song of GREAT and Final Hope for deliverance from the enslavement of this old dark Matrix and its dark lords – which have ruled us for so long.
To the ones who have been warriors of Light and deeply wounded and scarred often in multiple embodiments for eons in their souls, minds, and biology, I proclaim that the time of deliverance is nearing rapidly and that the old capstone-less pyramidal structure is about to be challenged and undone by the One Himself.
You must, as Humankind, be given enough information to at the very least realize what is at stakes here and that deep within each of you lies, out of Divine Free-will, the key to your freedom from the battles and tragedies being forced upon us on purpose.
We must stand up for our own rights as Divine Precious Creatures of the Oneness. We cannot and should not accept to be handled by the Dark Fear-based lords in the way we, sadly, handle cattle and sheep.
I will address all this and much much more in my next written message which you should be getting in a couple of days.
This interview is capital. It provides the base to the understanding of the next message.
Without it, you may not really fully understand the incredible scope of what is happening and the reasons for all the dramatic events unfolding in the world, now in Japan, and soon in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Please listen to this interview carefully and spread it to as many friends and loved ones as you can.
Also please read attentively the message that I will release in the next few days and listen to my next interview.
You may notice that such revealed knowledge has never been made openly public before and that your total view on Life might change thenceforth.
I dislike sounding dramatic, but this time I feel strongly that your sheer survival is at stakes, and that we, being in the same boat of Creation cannot allow it to be steered by unconscious Captains, misaligned compasses, and a broken rudder.
Kindly send this link to as many friends and relatives as you can. Help wake up humanity.
Timing is the key and it is NOW, not later!

Chinese Bad Female Rulers
Empress Wu Zetian (17 February 624 – 16 December 705)
Empress Lü
Empress Dowager
Unstoppable Empress
It is amazing how Chinese history twists its turns and reveals the most unexpected events of female governance. For ages, the Chinese emperors were accused of falling in love or obsessed with different women which subsequently led to the Empire's collapse. A good example is the historically true legend of Yang Gui-Fei and her being the emperor's concubine. However, the Chinese historical heritage shows that the gender issues were strengthened with the outrageously well-performed empress' duties. It was evident that women, doing the men's job, were brilliant. No matter how the male environment adopted that fact, the ruling was successful and pretty wise.
We will write a custom Chinese Bad Female Rulers specifically for you
Though some consider women to be tender, nice, and soft, the Empress Wu Zetian was opposite to all the female features listed above. Moreover, she was deemed to be ruthless and somewhat despotic which is unusual for the Chinese woman, you would think. However, this was exactly what helped Empress Wu Zetian to remain just and unbiased since she was doing the male job in a female way. Also, she was known to be the best ruler amongst all who managed everything effectively during culturally diverse periods.
Born in a rich family Wu was taught music and the Chinese language. Hence, she was able to read classics and get highly educated for those times. By the age of thirteen Wu was considered a well-bred young lady who now could be introduced to the emperor's court. Meanwhile, Emperor Tai Tsung made her the favourite concubine which gave Wu a wonderful opportunity to promote herself within the court and overall political issues through the Emperor.
The time passed, and the old emperor was replaced by his son Kao Tsung who had successfully taken power. Since Wu Zetian liked the new emperor long before, so she did everything possible to overthrow his wife after giving birth to his sons so long. She was a very cunning woman who thought that all was fair in love and war; therefore she accused the emperor's current wife of killing the newborn daughter. Of course, the response of the emperor was reasonable, adequate, and satisfactory for Wu Zetian. This was the start of the 27-year-old concubine's essential invasion of Chinese political life.
There is no doubt the Empress now had a full range of power within the court since the Emperor got injured and could not perform his duties anymore. "Wu Zetian proved to be a very competent monarch and throughout her reign, the legacy of prosperity was bequeathed" (Pandajojo). Although it seems like he could rule at least somehow, his wife did not let him do so. She has taken over the post and embodied the so-called female justice. This was implemented in serious structures created: the secret spying organization to find out the opposition's intentions. It can be said here that such kinds of actions are truly adopted by the female insight, though already inherited by many contemporary countries' politics. No wonder she was viewed as a cruel person since she used to get rid of everybody who stood in her way including the poor ex-empress Wang. Moreover, Wu Zetian now appeared at the peak of her power. Besides total control over political issues, she managed to outwit her elder sons and put into governance her youngest one to rule in shadow.
Ultimately, she would say that the best ruler is the one who treats the country's issues like a mother treats her children. Of course, during her reign, there were a lot of Chinese cultural, political, and gender perspectives changed. No wonder, the women's role within the country's society was hugely reconsidered. This Empress can deservedly be called a very totalitarian ruler though very devoted. She managed to open the world of politics and art for women.
Moreover, one of the achievements this historical figure can boast of – she was the one to start her dynasty by putting her family members to the political court. Needless to say this entailed complete rooting in Chinese history.
Although the climbing for the highest post in the state was somewhat rough as per historians, her governance was known as fair and just after her youngest son declined the office. Moreover, Empress Wu Zetian reduced taxes, instituted exams for the higher posts of power. She raised agriculture since this was and still is the prior economical feature of China. What is interesting in terms of gender research, Empress Wu Zetian used to appoint trustworthy people to the position of state's government. This is a mere female approach to the successful outcome.
One of the main changes Chine underwent during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian was the shift of religious matters. Of course, the most rooted religion ever was Daoism – and it was replaced by Buddhism. The empress invited the best scholars to plant the seeds of this faith which have successfully existed till nowadays.
It is amazing how this woman managed everything inside her head. Of course, it is a well-known fact that in ancient China women were somewhat in disgrace. However, such historical examples as Empress Wu Zetian give a certain impression of powerful and totalitarian regimes that took place way long ago. It has to be mentioned, though, that as any woman she must have become tired of such a tensed life of confrontation, lies, and power held in her hands entirely. Subsequently, she loosened the responsibilities of secret agencies and just started being too fearful and suspicious. Ultimately, her son took over the reign, which was to be expected since all these years he didn't lose hope to take the place of his mother.
However, despite her old age she continued to take interest in the affairs she was doing the best: finding talented officials and giving them a chance of promotion. This was the prior aim of a female ruler – to approach the governance wisely with far-reaching goals. One can hardly deny that she was a cruel ruler; however, she could never forget that everything is done for the sake of the empire's prosperity and success. Though she was just doing what every male Chinese emperor did. She was held hostage of the times she lived in.
It has to be said right at the beginning that Empress Lü used to be the most brutal empress ever known in the history of China. After the death of her husband, she had got the title of Empress subsequently empowered with everything an empress should have. The first thing she did was take revenge upon Concubine Qi. She murdered her son, and then put Qi through tremendous tortures. She ordered to cut off her limbs, blind her and make her deaf. There were other examples of inhuman treatment of other emperor's relatives that only proves her being thirsty for power woman: …there is no doubt that Empress Lu was behind the murder of Emperor Shao's mother. (Chi̕en, p. 121). So, for sixteen years the power was situated in her hands.
Of course, there was also a place for wisdom within the governing. People were satisfied with the fact that endless wars and invasions were stopped. Many Chinese officials were afraid of Empress Lü's army and so didn't even dare to rebel. Also, they were afraid of her ruthlessness and kept merely quiet since she proved to be somewhat unreliable in terms of private agreements as it was with Peng Yue.
Being a widow she exercised even more power than she did before. It is hard to believe but after the emperor's death, the empress became even crueller. Just as our previously discussed historical figure, Dowager Lü used to exercise power through her son who by then took the reins.
The first targets to come closer to power were Consort Qi and her son. Of course, the emperor loved both his concubine and the son she gave birth to. However, this wasn't on Dowager Lü's plan list. She had to take over the concubine to get the highest position in the country. So, despite the love and moral tortures of the emperor who regretted he ever went hunting, Dowager Lü did what she had to do most maliciously. They say that the emperor could not see anyone and indulged himself in drinking and miscellaneous relations for a year. Hence, he could not take any serious decisions on his own and left it all to his mother.
Those were the most shocking events in Emperor Hui's life. Nevertheless, he had to be careful with Dowager Lü for long after. Namely, he was to protect prince Fei from the empress to keep him alive. During one of the fancy feasts, the emperor suggested Prince have a seat right next to him. This was considered to be a great honour, which resulted in Dowager Lü's great offence. Hence, she decided to get rid of Prince Fei by pout=ring poison into his cup of wine. Afterwards, she tried to toast him which was a mistake because the emperor unravelled her plan right away and tore out the goblet meaning to drink the poisoned drink himself. However, history's turns are unexpected, so were the actions of Dowager Lü. She swept the drink off. Though Prince seemed like a wise person who wanted to protect his life and made an agreement with the empress that gives away all governance over his principality to Dowager Lü's daughter.
In 192 BC Dowager Lü got the most unusual marriage proposal ever. The letter came from Xiongnu chanyu Modu who wanted Dowager Lü to marry him because they both were lonely and had a lot to share. However, she deemed that offer to be weird and somewhat intimidating. Although, for the sake of justice it has to be mentioned here that despite the offence she felt, the empress carried out a wise decision. Since she was afraid of Xiongnu's military strength the decision was to give a daughter of the imperial prince in marriage. This way she paid off, didn't display her offence and ensured peace. The actions were very wisely thought out. Sometimes Dowager Lü is thought to be the wisest and the ablest for administrative qualities.
So, after Dowager Lü was so insistent, the emperor Hui married Princess Luyuan's daughter Zhang Yan. Unfortunately, their marriage turned out to be childless. And the historians still debate whether their children were adopted or not. However, this is not the only issue for debates because scholars still consider Empress Lu to be the primary ruler despite the emperor's influence; though some don't.
The issues of gender within politics in ancient China were close to absurd. Sometimes it seems like the gender issues were merely turned upside-down because Empress Lu was a wonderful representation of total control over the male ruling. Indeed, there were fascinating moments of her political influence, however, those can be deservedly called the merciless ones. Within the historical period of Empress Lu, the cruel justice and desire for power prospered. Unlike other contemporaries of her times, she embodied the utmost willpower and strong standpoints.
Empress made her way to power disregarding the circumstances. She did everything possible and impossible to achieve the set goals for the sake of China, power, and her son. And although she wasn't introduced to the court from her very childhood the path of the powerful woman repays this shortcoming. She was a straightforward but restrained woman, Empress Lu may have behaved like an emperor, but she never claimed the title of one (Raphals, p.70).
The two brilliant historical figures under consideration were Empress Wu Zetian and Empress Lu. Both of them represent the entire wise power over men and their ambitions. It is said that female governance in China led to different undesirable love affairs and sexual issues. However, due to the example of these two empresses, we can clearly understand that the reigns were successful just as much as they were the unbearably savage. Female politics is deemed to have been fair and unbiased throughout Chinese historical heritage.
Chinese Bad Female Rulers by yourself?
It is proved now that the two women reflected the best tradition of female ruling – fear for their children and fear to lose power. Moreover, it is widely known that ancient China politics was a cruel place to live in. The emperors were killed for the sake of getting the power in somebody else's hands. The concubines were murdered because other women were afraid they would give birth to sons for the emperors. And the children were killed in this endless political melting pot.
The historical research made on both empresses is very interesting and valuable in terms of enlightenment. It is needless to compare the two lives that those two women had. They have much in common, though slightly different adolescence age development. After getting to the highest position of power of the empire, historians can now truly admit that women are much more unstoppable than men though much restrained and sage.

Media literacy is an expanded conceptualization of literacy to include not only reading and writing, but speaking, listening, viewing, creating, and sharing through all of the media in our lives. Media literacy education strengthens our ability to access information, analyze media messages, create thoughtfully, reflect on our experiences with and through media, and using many forms of media to make our voices heard in the world.
When children access messages, they learn to use technology tools well, comprehend what they read and navigate online sources. Children understand how to identify sources and select and use appropriate content. They learn digital tools to complete whatever work they do in the classroom.
Students can bring many traditional strategies of print literacy, including strategies for comprehension and abstraction, to media texts in a variety of formats. Students can develop their abilities to interpret, evaluate, and analyze print media like books and newspapers, visual media like video and photography, audio media like radio and music, and digital media like videogames and websites.
Composition in the 21st century involves more than just pencil on paper—which is still a foundational component of student learning. Students can also express ideas and creativity by performing, making videos, recording podcasts, writing online, programming videogames, manipulating images, and creating other media that expand their conceptualization of literacy.
When students reflect on the ways that their everyday uses, experiences, and knowledge of media connect to classroom learning, they begin to understand how to transfer knowledge and skills developed in the classroom to their everyday lives. Understanding how to use their critical judgment, interact with others responsibly, and provide critique and support for their peers are all important aspects of reflection.
Students' voices are often heard in the classroom, but they can also make themselves heard outside of the classroom to improve the quality of life in their families, homes, schools, communities, and the wider world.

Enter the Debate
Jessica Lee
After the lack of indictment in the cases of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, two black men killed by white police officers, students flocked to Kemper Auditorium in December to listen to Professor David Canton explain the events in the broader context of American history. In an insightful presentation on the lingering effects of slavery and institutional racism, Canton challenged his listeners to reject current black stereotypes and become better acquainted with the United States's history of oppression. I was inspired, but as a Korean student, I still had one question: where did I fit into the conversation?
I believe that as a fellow minority group in America, Asian-Americans have an obligation to support the black community, particularly during these trying times. And yet, I didn't see many other Asians speaking up or involving themselves; I feel that many Asians and Asian-Americans are raised within a culture of passivity that prefers to ignore conflict rather than face it head on. While Asians and Asian-Americans should not overshadow black voices in conversations about black oppression, they still have an important and supportive role to play.
Furthermore, I think Asians and Asian-Americans should take advantage of the way these issues have recently galvanized minority communities in America. This energy – our energy – can also be applied to a different discussion of the oppression that Asian and Asian-Americans face.
Last January, for example, Kang Chun Wong, an 84-year-old Asian man from New York, NY., was knocked to the ground by a group of New York City police officers attempting to arrest him for jaywalking. Wong struck his head on the pavement and fell unconscious. I vividly recall the swelling surge of indignation from looking through the photos accompanying the report. One depicts Wong sitting on the ground, handcuffed and bleeding profusely from his face.
I was looking forward to having a healthy discussion about the incident with my peers at Andover, but to my dismay, nobody wanted to. The incident received little attention on social media before the outrage fizzled, and everyone moved on. Asians had once again missed an opportunity to fight for their rights.
I believe Asians need to be more involved in the race discussion. Whether we are fighting for ourselves or supporting others, we can no longer ignore the larger issues of justice and fairness. I have come to realize that, as an Asian, I am a part of America's race debate.

Ex-Rep. Derrick Smith's Last-Minute Bid To Avoid Prison Fails
Filed Under:bribery, Crime, Derrick Smith, prison
State Rep. Derrick Smith arrives at the federal courthouse in Chicago for his bribery trial. (Credit: CBS)
CHICAGO (STMW) — It's finally time for former state Rep. Derrick Smith to face the music.
A federal judge has ordered the West Side Democrat to report to prison by Friday and begin serving his five-month sentence for taking a $7,000 cash bribe.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman put Smith's surrender to the Federal Bureau of Prisons on hold late last month after Smith's defense attorney asked the judge to first let his appeal process play out. After hearing arguments, the judge shot down his request Tuesday and gave Smith three days to surrender.
Last month, she pointed out in court that Smith's sentence could have already been behind him had he started serving it immediately.
"He would have been done by now," Coleman said. "It would have been over."
The feds caught Smith on tape accepting a $7,000 cash bribe in exchange for a letter of support for a state grant application roughly a year after he'd been appointed to the Illinois House of Representatives.
Smith thought the cash he was pocketing from an FBI mole in March 2012 was coming from the owner of a day care center in his district, prosecutors have said. He later handed back to the FBI $2,500 of the bribe that he'd stashed in his bedroom, telling an agent he'd "f—– up."

Local civil rights icon remembers friend Martin Luther King
EWING, N.J. (WPVI) -- At the Kidsbridge Tolerance Museum in Ewing, young children were learning about empathy and empowerment Monday while down the hall, local civil rights icon Edith Savage Jennings remembered the bloody battle for racial equality.
Jennings was a friend of Coretta and Dr. Martin Luther King.
Coretta was her matron of honor.
Jennings spoke to King on the phone just hours before he died, when he made an unusual request.
"[He said], 'if anything should happen to me, would you please stay close to Coretta and the children?' I said, 'Martin I don't own a black dress. What are you talking about?' He said, 'I just want you to promise me that, then I'll go get the plane.'"
King got on a plane and flew to Memphis, where he was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel.
Jennings, who helped integrate Trenton movie theaters when she was 13, believes Dr. King had a premonition about his death.
"He had so many threats and so forth, he knew. He was preparing himself," Jennings said.
46 years later, King was remembered Monday with events like the one at the Good Intent Firehouse in Mount Holly where kids made cards for seniors.
"I want to do a good job because I really want them to like it," young Alexis Fisher of Florence, New Jersey said.
Little ones, of course, may not know much about Dr. King yet, but organizers say it's never too early to learn about service and contributing to your community.
"Helping the senior center and maybe people that don't have family members," Mt. Holly Recreation volunteer Briana Banks said.
"Everybody should be treated fairly and equal," 10-year-old Sidney Graham said.
And so whether it's Sidney just learning about Dr. King's speeches or 89-year-old Edith Savage Jennings, who still misses her friend, this was a day to remember a man who changed our nation.
Though as Jennings says, there's still so much work left to do.

CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
The gene products of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans are designated human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) since they were first described as cell surface antigens of blood leukocytes. The HLA antigens are highly polymorphic glycoproteins encoded on the short arm of chromosome 6. There are three classes encoded in the HLA region: class I (A, B, and C loci), class II (DR, DQ, and DP loci), and class III (tumor necrosis factor, complement factor genes, etc). The biological function of class I and II antigens is to act as the gatekeepers to the human immune response by presenting antigenic peptides to T lymphocytes. Class I antigens are present on almost all nucleated cells, whereas class II antigens are primarily expressed on B cells (along with class I determinants) and other antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells, endothelial cells, and monocytes. These antigens and their associated antibodies play key roles in hematopoietic cell and solid organ transplantation compatibility. They are also intimately involved in allosensitization to nonleukoreduced blood components, leading to platelet transfusion refractoriness. Other clinically important lineage-specific white cell antigens include those on neutrophils, which are much less polymorphic and less commonly a cause of clinical problems than the MHC system. Antibodies to neutrophil antigens play a role in alloimmune neonatal neutropenia, autoimmune neutropenia, and transfusion reactions such as transfusion-related acute lung injury. Platelets also possess a relatively limited number of platelet-specific polymorphic antigens that are involved in clinical disease states such as fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, posttransfusion purpura, platelet transfusion refractoriness, and other alloimmune thrombocytopenias.

Calculating annual return holding period return or aggregate returns.
This weekend while teaching the portfolio management and optimization course to a group of Executive MBA students at IBA we ran into an interesting debate on calculating annual returns, holding period returns and aggregate returns for an equity portfolio. We realized that because of difference in market practices across the region we take a great deal of calculations for granted.
The questions around actual realized returns arose when we started discussing performance evaluation and interpreting fund management and performance reports filed by fund advisors, mutual funds and investment management professionals. If you are fund manager why would you favor one return calculation over another and what is the difference? Why is there a difference between the returns that we calculate and the returns quoted in the fund management reports? As an investor sitting across the stable would you prefer the same standard or an alternate one?
I thought it would be useful to do a short review that walks us through a simple example and the three possible choices of calculating and quoting returns that you are likely to come across.
The settings for the question.
Our original class discussion case focused on an equities only portfolio. We take the same example for illustrating the procedure used for calculating holding period return, aggregate return and compounded annual returns.
We have an equities only portfolio that is invested in 12 securities.
The original amount invested on 1st December 2008 was US$ 29,932.6. The primary constraint on the portfolio was a per security limit of 12% of total portfolio investment with rebalancing. This means that every six months the portfolio was reviewed and exposures of above 12% were reduced to 12% and exposures of below 12% were increased to 12%. Dividends were reinvested back into the same positions.
On 15 November 2012 portfolio performance was reviewed after a period of four years. The value of the portfolio stood at US$ 73,074.4. What was the total holding period return across four years? What was the annualized return per year for each of the four years?
We will now answer this question using three related but slightly different approaches.
Aggregate return and annual return using simple interest.
The aggregate return calculation is easy. We calculate the change in the value of the portfolio and express it as a percentage of the original invested amount.
The return per annum calculation is where two of the alternates diverge.
The first approach – the simple interest approach – divides the aggregate return by the holding period expressed in years to get the annual return figure.
Our holding period is 1,445 days. Divided by 365 and expressed in years that gives us 3.96 years.
If the calculated return is correct the ending portfolio value from this equation should reconcile with the actual ending portfolio value in our account.
We refer to this approach as the simple interest approach because we assume no compounding of interest or returns.
To re-emphasize, our 144.2% aggregate return translates into 36.4% annual return per year without any compounding of returns across the four years.
Aggregate return and annualized return using compound interest.
Our third and final approach is the one that causes the most confusion. Sometime we calculate or observe results quoted on a continuous compounded basis. How does that work?
Total return = Annual return * holding period in years.
Annual return = Total return / holding period in years.
Did you notice we have come full circle?
Both the simple interest approach and the continuous compounding approach use the same model to calculate annual return. However because the underlying model is different the results are different.
Calculate annual return. The three approaches.
The big question. Which approach do you prefer?
As a fund manager the simple approach for calculating and quoting annualized returns or returns per annum is very attractive.
It is easy to explain, easy to calculate and its looks better than the other two alternates. As an investor though we often look at multiple asset classes including bonds and currencies where returns are quoted on a compounded basis. So a 36.4% return on a simple interest basis is not really comparable with a 25.3% return quoted on an annual compounding basis. In general we rarely see performances or returns quoted on a continuous compounding basis but it's a useful measure to have in certain instances. So as an investor the preference is to see some compounding in return in order for us to make meaningful comparisons across asset classes.
Most securities regulators understand this and regulate both fund disclosures and fund manager reports. The objective is to standardize reporting across an industry so that investors are not mislead or misinformed because of usage of different investor reporting standards across the industry.

Call Me American: A Memoir
Abdi Nor Iftin
921 Iftan Ift
Abdi Nor Iftin first fell in love with America from afar. As a child, he learned English by listening to American pop artists like Michael Jackson and watching films starring action heroes like Arnold Schwarzenegger. When U.S. marines landed in Mogadishu to take on the warlords, Abdi cheered the arrival of these real Americans, who seemed as heroic as those of the movies. Sporting American clothes and dance moves, he became known around Mogadishu as Abdi American, but when the radical Islamist group al-Shabaab rose to power in 2006, it suddenly became dangerous to celebrate Western culture. Desperate to make a living, Abdi used his language skills to post secret dispatches to NPR and the Internet, which found an audience of worldwide listeners. But as life in Somalia grew more dangerous, Abdi was left with no choice but to flee to Kenya as a refugee. In an amazing stroke of luck, Abdi won entrance to the U.S. in the annual visa lottery, though his route to America was filled with twists and turns and a harrowing sequence of events that nearly stranded him in Nairobi. Now a proud resident of Maine and on the path to citizenship, Abdi Nor Iftin's dramatic, deeply stirring memoir is truly a story for our time: a vivid reminder of why western democracies still beckon to those looking to make a better life.
The Day That Went Missing: A Family's Story
155.937 Bea
Life changes in an instant. On a family summer holiday in Cornwall in 1978, Richard and his younger brother Nicholas are jumping in the waves. Suddenly, Nicholas is out of his depth. One moment he's there, the next he's gone. Richard and his other brothers don't attend the funeral, and incredibly the family returns immediately to the same cottage - to complete the holiday, to carry on, in the best British tradition. They soon stop speaking of the catastrophe. Their epic act of collective denial writes Nicky out of the family memory. Nearly forty years later, Richard, an acclaimed novelist, is haunted by the missing piece of his childhood, the unexpressed and unacknowledged grief at his core. He doesn't even know the date of his brother's death or the name of the beach where the tragedy occurred. So he sets out on a pain-staking investigation to rebuild Nicky's life, and ultimately to recreate the precise events on the day of the accident. The Day That Went Missing is a transcendent story of guilt and forgiveness, of reckoning with unspeakable loss. But, above all, it is a brother's most tender act of remembrance and a man's brave act of survival.
Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen
Jose Antonio Vargas
070.92 Vargas Var
Jose Antonio Vargas was born in the Philippines. When he was twelve his mother sent him to the United States to live with her parents. While applying for a driver's permit, he found out his papers were fake. More than two decades later he was still in the US illegally, with no clear path to American citizenship. To some people he is the "most famous illegal" in America. In his mind, he is only one of an estimated 11 million human beings whose uncertain fate is under threat in a country they call home. This is not a book about the politics of immigration. This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but about the unsettled, unmoored psychological state in which undocumented immigrants find themselves. This book is about being forced to lie to get by; about passing as an American and as a contributing citizen; about families, keeping them together, and having to create new ones when you can't. This book is about what it means to not have a home.
Heart Berries: A Memoir
921 Mailhot Mai
Heart Berries is a powerful, poetic memoir of a woman's coming of age on the Seabird Island Indian Reservation in the Pacific Northwest. Having survived a profoundly dysfunctional upbringing only to find herself hospitalized and facing a dual diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder and bipolar II disorder Terese Marie Mailhot is given a notebook and begins to write her way out of trauma. The triumphant result is Heart Berries, a memorial for Mailhot's mother, a social worker and activist who had a thing for prisoners; a story of reconciliation with her father-an abusive drunk and a brilliant artist-who was murdered under mysterious circumstances; and an elegy on how difficult it is to love someone while dragging the long shadows of shame. Mailhot trusts the reader to understand that memory isn't exact, but melded to imagination, pain, and what we can bring ourselves to accept. Her unique and at times unsettling voice graphically illustrates her mental state. As she writes, she discovers her own true voice, seizes control of her story, and, in so doing, reestablishes her connection to her family, to her people, and to her place in the world.
Heavy: An American Memoir
Kiese Laymon
800.92 Laymon Lay
In this powerful and provocative memoir, Kiese Laymon fearlessly explores what the weight of a lifetime of secrets, lies, and deception does to a black body, a black family, and a nation teetering on the brink of moral collapse. Laymon invites us to consider the consequences of living in a country wholly obsessed with progress yet wholly disinterested in the messy work of reckoning with where we've been. In Heavy, Laymon writes eloquently and honestly about growing up a hard-headed black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson, Mississippi. From his early experiences of sexual violence, to his suspension from college, to his trek to New York as a young college professor, Laymon charts his complex relationship with his family, weight, sex, gambling, and writing. By attempting to name secrets and lies he and his mother spent a lifetime avoiding, Laymon asks himself, his mother, his nation, and us to confront the terrifying possibility that few of us know how to responsibly love.
Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love
800.92 Shapiro Sha
What makes us who we are? What combination of memory, history, biology, experience, and that ineffable thing called the soul defines us? In the spring of 2016, through a genealogy website to which she had whimsically submitted her DNA for analysis, Dani Shapiro received the stunning news that her father was not her biological father. She woke up one morning and her entire history--the life she had lived--crumbled beneath her. Inheritance is a book about secrets--secrets within families, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman's urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity, a story that has been scrupulously hidden from her for more than fifty years, years she had spent writing brilliantly, and compulsively, on themes of identity and family history. It is a book about the extraordinary moment we live in--a moment in which science and technology have outpaced not only medical ethics but also the capacities of the human heart to contend with the consequences of what we discover.
Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art
Mary Gabriel
700.411 Gab
Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting. Gutsy and indomitable, Lee Krasner was a hell-raising leader among artists long before she married Jackson Pollock. Elaine de Kooning used her work and words to build a bridge between the avant-garde and a public that scorned abstract art as a hoax. Grace Hartigan fearlessly abandoned life as a New Jersey housewife and mother to achieve stardom as one of the boldest painters of her generation. Joan Mitchell escaped a privileged but emotionally damaging Chicago childhood to translate her fierce vision into magnificent canvases. And Helen Frankenthaler, the beautiful daughter of a prominent New York family, chose the difficult path of the creative life. At twenty-three she created a work so original it launched a new school of painting. These women changed American art and society, tearing up the prevailing social code and replacing it with a doctrine of liberation.
Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over
Nell Painter
700.92 Painter Pai
Following her retirement from Princeton University, celebrated historian Dr. Nell Irvin Painter surprised everyone in her life by returning to school--in her sixties--to earn a BFA and MFA in painting. In Old in Art School, she travels from her beloved Newark to the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design; finds meaning in the artists she loves, even as she comes to understand how they may be undervalued; and struggles with the unstable balance between the pursuit of art and the inevitable, sometimes painful demands of a life fully lived. How are women and artists seen and judged by their age, looks, and race? What does it mean when someone says, "You will never be an artist"? Who defines what "An Artist" is and all that goes with such an identity?
921 Brennan-Jobs Bre
A frank, smart and captivating memoir by the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs. Born on a farm and named in a field by her parents--artist Chrisann Brennan and Steve Jobs--Lisa Brennan-Jobs's childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisa's father was a mythical figure who was rarely present in her life. As she grew older, her father took an interest in her, ushering her into a new world of mansions, vacations, and private schools. His attention was thrilling, but he could also be cold, critical and unpredictable. When her relationship with her mother grew strained in high school, Lisa decided to move in with her father, hoping he'd become the parent she'd always wanted him to be. Small Fry is Lisa Brennan-Jobs's poignant story of a childhood spent between two imperfect but extraordinary homes. Scrappy, wise, and funny, young Lisa is an unforgettable guide through her parents' fascinating and disparate worlds. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the seventies and eighties, Small Fry is an enthralling book by an insightful new literary voice.

Evolution of dobutamine echocardiography protocols and indications: safety and side effects in 3,011 studies over 5 years
J Am Coll Cardiol. 1997 May;29(6):1234-40. doi: 10.1016/s0735-1097(97)00039-9.

Objectives: This study sought to document the safety of dobutamine stress echocardiography as it has evolved at a single center and to define predictors of adverse events.
Background: The indications and protocol for dobutamine stress testing have evolved over 5 years of clinical use, but the influence of these changes on the safety and side effects of the test is undefined.
Methods: Over 5 years, 3,011 consecutive dobutamine stress studies were performed in 2,871 patients, using an incremental protocol from 5 to 40 micrograms/kg body weight per min in 3-min stages, followed by atropine or an additional stage with 50 micrograms/kg per min, if required. Clinical data were gathered prospectively, and hemodynamic and echocardiographic findings were recorded at each stage, including recovery. Dobutamine echocardiography was defined as positive for ischemia in the presence of new or worsening wall motion abnormalities; in the absence of ischemia, failure to attain 85% of age-predicted maximal heart rate was identified as a nondiagnostic result.
Results: Studies were performed for risk assessment (70%) and symptom evaluation (30%); over the study period, there was an increment in the use of dobutamine echocardiography for preoperative evaluation. Most tests (n = 2,194 [73%]) were terminated due to attainment of peak dose with achievement of target heart rate (> 85% maximal age-predicted heart rate); 455 patients (15%) failed to achieve > 85% maximal predicted heart rate despite maximal doses of dobutamine and atropine. The protocol was stopped prematurely in 230 patients (7.6%) because of side effects, including ventricular (n = 27 [0.9%]) and supraventricular rhythm disorders (n = 22 [0.7%]), severe hypertension (n = 24 [0.8%]) and hypotension or left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n = 112 [3.8%]). Noncardiac symptoms, such as headache, nausea or anxiety, caused early test termination in 45 patients (1.6%). The remaining tests were stopped because of severe chest pain (n = 106 [3.5%]) or severe ischemia by echocardiography (n = 26 [0.9%]). Serious complications occurred in nine patients, including sustained ventricular tachycardia in five, myocardial infarction in one and other conditions in three requiring hospital admission (sustained supraventricular tachycardia, hypotension, suspected myocardial infarction), but neither ventricular fibrillation nor death occurred. Independent predictors of serious complications could not be defined. Over 5 years, higher dose protocols and more frequent use of atropine have raised the number of diagnostic protocols from 59% to 80%, without increasing the incidence of major side effects.
Conclusions: Despite the use of more aggressive protocols and alterations of the indications for testing to include sicker patients, major side effects are a rare complication of dobutamine echocardiography.

Inverting Reality
In the troubled age we live in the wealthy elite have perfected the art of inverting reality.
How else could the gutting of the social safety net be renamed austerity, and the dismantling of the public commons and transfer of its wealth to the extremely wealthy be excused as merely privatization? How else could wars on behalf of corporate industry be re-cast as "humanitarian interventions" and the "war on terror?"
Or the plunder of impoverished nations for the benefit of the powerful be explained as "free trade?" How else could the wanton destruction of the environment with impunity be seen as "job creation?"
Or the housing of millions of sentient beings in cramped, disease ridden, concentration camps be touted as a solution to "food insecurity?"
Or the mass incarceration of impoverished people of color be redefined as the "War on Drugs?" And refugees fleeing from regions where corporate exploitation has made life a misery be labelled "illegal aliens," and demonized as criminals by the slick, intelligence devoid, powerful?
On a finite planet, with humanity fast reaching the upper limit of consumption and where resources are dwindling, the machinations of this global industry of plunder are beginning to crumble under their own weight. But it will not be a soft landing. The elite have steadily constructed the surveillance state; and they have augmented it with a militarized police force designed to protect their power and wealth with the distribution of swift and violent punishment. They have codified laws that allow for the indefinite detention, or extrajudicial execution, of anyone they view as a threat. And they will not hesitate in the slightest in employing everything in their arsenal at the first sign of ecological calamity and social unrest.
This is the inherent nature of capitalism; and in particular its terminal stage, neoliberalism. It is a system predicated upon wealth acquisition at the expense of the entire planet. Wherever it manifests itself the fundamental foundations of democracy are reduced to mere spectacle without substance. Wikipedia defines it as: "privatization, fiscal austerity, deregulation, free trade, and reductions in government spending in order to enhance the role of the private sector in the economy." There are those that may use more euphemistic parlance to describe it, but its conclusive message to most of humanity, and countless other species, is no less cruel. It feeds on the most vulnerable through violence, disenfranchisement and humiliation. It castigates the poor as intrinsically deficient. And it divides the natural world into worthiness categorizes for efficient exploitation.
It has created a multi-national aristocracy that becomes more consumed with its corpulent privilege every day. But it is also a system which is ultimately destined to rot of its own suppuration and conceit.

Our Shared Humanity
When our ancestors were hiding in the trees from predators the connections they had to each other were indispensable. They accounted for their ability to survive and eventually climb down to the earth. As time progressed this connection evolved into a great awakening of consciousness. They began to understand each other as more than the sum of their parts. A complex society developed out of our cooperation, ingenuity and shared empathy for one another. Eventually the commons, a place for the entire community to come together, was celebrated as essential. It was never perfect or a place devoid of cruelty, aggression or intrigue. But here our demons were dealt with in the open, and the natural world was revered and cherished as the source of all life. The concept of ownership was unknown. Resources such as water and land provided for everyone. And our ancestors, for the most part, maintained this era for eons.
As civilization evolved so did the complexities of our relationships with each other and with the world we live in. Most hunter-gatherer societies became agrarian. Hierarchical forms of governance developed and eventually imperialism commenced. Throughout this long period of human history kingdoms rose and fell, disease and famine were rampant, one people plundered another for resources and religion, and most of the world remained unmolested, wild and vast. Human society continued to, more or less, evolve; and despite some rather major set backs, scientific discovery gradually became accepted. Then came the discovery of fossil fuels. This is when civilization took a giant leap ahead, and the commons began their death spiral.
Powerful merchants and nobles in Europe and North America learned fast that they could amass enormous wealth through industrialization with the use of these new fuels. This led to a rise in the standard of living for many who languished under feudalism, but it also allowed for the powerful to impose new forms of exploitation and abuse. While famine and disease were reduced, global population exploded; and widespread pollution of the environment and the decimation of forests and wild lands burgeoned. By the mid-twentieth century, following a world war that killed over 60 million people, most of the remaining commons began to be dismantled to make way for a consumer driven, assembly line society.
The materialism and convenience this offered evolved into a global machine of corporatism whose appetites have become insatiable. But, in spite of all this, a piece of the enlightened dawning in our evolution as a species has been retained. Many still stand in wonder at the natural world and grieve at its demise. Most feel empathy for the suffering of others. And despite being immersed in a sea of mindless consumerism, human beings still yearn for a connection we once knew before materialism became the dominant force of our day.
The emergence of the social media at the beginning of this century signifies a collective longing for the commons of old. It has also been a powerful tool for dissent and activism; and has been instrumental in organizing protests against tyranny around the world. But in this medium individuals are easily categorized into camps or groups. It has made advertising far simpler and made corporations far richer. And it has forged a new era of social control and authoritarianism that emanates from the mentality of the mob. The vacuous, soul sucking maw of commercialism stalks every page. It offers us agency, while it robs us of one of the most precious liberties we have, our privacy.
In this age privacy is often looked at as a quaint vestige of a bygone era. Yet with its disintegration, the very essence of democracy is assaulted. The private is a sacred space in which to contemplate issues and construct critical thought before returning to the commons. But social media entices people to give this space up and turn over every piece of information. It is a place that has been created by corporate interests and informed by the surveillance state. And while its secrets are sacrosanct, the individual is expected to bare all lest they be suspected of a misdeed.
Social media is not going to go away as long as industrial civilization is around. And its algorithmic hypnotism, that undoubtedly creates new pathways in the brain for dopamine induced pleasure, will continue to hold most of us under its spell. But its days, too, are numbered. Without the machine of industrial society, social media cannot exist. It is dependent on mines in Africa and petrochemicals that are accelerating climate change. Those who place complete faith in technology do not pay attention to the enormous cost that is exacted from the planet or the billions of people who are mercilessly exploited to make all of this "first world" technology possible. They choose to ignore the mass extinction of species, the dying, acidified oceans, the super heated atmosphere, or the tens of thousands of people fleeing for their lives from these ravaged regions.
There are those that say; "the same thing was said about television; but the world didn't end." I contend that television did, in fact, end the world as we knew it. It, too, promised a deeper connection to each other and a better life. And it, too, provided a medium for authoritarianism. The corporate state was nourished by television, and it still dominates it like a plague. It, like the social media, influences our perception of the world and of ourselves. It sold us cigarettes, vanity and war; and in the process the commons, a place for all, was privatized and sold to the highest bidder.
In the days to come the social media, like television, will increasingly be used by the powerful for social control and disseminating propaganda for the corporate state. It has been, and will continue to be, a means of surveillance of those who dissent. And it will justify every brutality of a ruthless police state. The death machine of endless consumption will be celebrated on it until the last forest is felled and the last fish is taken from a dying sea.
But as industrial civilization draws closer to its end from the ravages of climate change, perpetual war and mass species extinction, the social media is the only thing modern society has left that even remotely resembles the commons of antiquity. It can be used by the powerful to nourish havoc, but it can also provide a space for the rest of us to make sense out of senselessness, and share our collective grief. Sadly, unlike those days of old, we may not have any trees to ascend back to when the earth has finally had enough of our pillage, and all that humanity has built crumbles to dust. But in the meantime we have within us a heritage that is deeper and richer than the emptiness of mindless consumption; our shared humanity.

Queens Road Station was opened to passenger traffic on 9th July 1894 – the line had opened to goods trains a week before on 2nd July. It was part of a line that ran from Stratford into Saint Pancras Station
The building of the line, originally called the 'Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway' had been a source of argument from the first proposals to build it. The local paper, the Walthamstow Guardian, had said in 1890
'A direct line to Victoria is what is wanted to make Walthamstow in all respects complete' (19th April 1890)
This was perfectly true, though local residents would have accepted a route to Kings Cross as a poor second best. There were many local meetings , generally in favour of a passenger line to ease overcrowding on the Chingford Line and provide competition for the current service.
They were promised by the local investors, especially Courtney Warner, a line that would run almost entirely passenger trains through an area that was already becoming densely populated with small houses, taking passengers into Kings Cross, well to the west of the Chingford Line's terminus in Liverpool Street.
However, the Midland Railway company, one of the main backers of the plan, wanted a rail route for goods trains from the docks at Tilbury, through East London, into Central London. This is what was eventually built, with a big interchange at Stratford, terminating finally at St Pancras. The passenger service was a very poor second to the freight traffic. In recognition of the fact that the line was running through areas that were already heavily built up, a great deal of the line is on arches – it is one of the most elevated train lines in London.
Other lines were proposed in the last years of the century, but none got enough money backing to be built. It was not until well into the twentieth century that the Gospel Oak to Barking passenger service (part of the original line) became more prominent; a connection to Victoria had to wait until the coming of the Underground .

Abhay Deol and Patralekha are coming up with a horror comedy titled 'Nanu Ki Jaanu' which has the most basic plot line ever with a ghost coming into the house and creating a situation from which one can derive humor. Patralekha is playing the ghost and she is barely even there in the trailer as most of screen time is eaten up Abhay and his friend' character. This does look like a B-grade film with a million year old jokes and forced exaggeration in the performance by being mere loud.
Abhay has complained so often about not wanting to do mediocre films as his artistic capabilities are beyond mere mortals but than he came up with this fractured audio-video footage that could not have sounded good on paper as well. In his highest point of judgement doing a horror comedy with absolutely no horror and none whatsoever comedy does not sound like the sharpest decision ever. Since Golmaal Again became a blockbuster on the box office putting horror comedy genre on the map of Hindi cinema many makers thought of doing the same thing and are in search of bank.
Trailer of the film is nothing better than Scooby doo meets Phillauri and without consent. Direction and camera angles of the film seem s basic as there is no language in it plus ghost element in this one is simply not coming out to be funny enough. Abhay seems to be improvising a lot of dialogues in a bad language which is suppose to generate laugh but is not and there are a series of sequence that look like individualistic gags but an arc of a screenplay leading upto something. Title of the film gives away the ending in it's context as both the Abhay and Patralekha's character will fallen in love and live together .
