T3 - Explore!
I was among the few fortunate to be present at the recent unveiling of the identity of the most promising retail venture of the century – I am not exaggerating… indeed, it is. I am referring to the upcoming new Terminal 3 at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), Delhi. The Terminal Building spread over 50 lakh square feet would be able to cater to over 30 million passengers per annum (mppa) in 2010 and would be able to scale upto 54 mppa by 2020! By far, this would be among the top five biggest airport terminal buildings in the world and possibly the biggest in India. The Airport is ably managed by the GMR Group – leaders in Infrastructure, Power, etc, who also manage the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Hyderabad. Many would know that recently, the Hyderabad Airport was ranked the fifth best airport in the world in the five-fifteen million passengers a year category. The council, an international association of the world's airports, has also ranked the IGIA as the Best Improved Airport in the Asia Pacific region. All this, thanks to the persistent efforts of the GMR Airports Team, ably lead by none other than Mr. Kiran Grandhi, Chairman, GMR Airports Division.
The new Terminal 3 which had a different Retail Identity earlier now has a new one developed by Holland based Marketing, Branding and Communication agency THEY. The new identity efforts, apart from choosing the Retail and Commercial partners, has been led by Suredj Autar, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Strategic Planning for GMR Airports, The two day event was chaired on Day One by Mr. Martin Moodie, founder and editor of The Moodie Report, the world's most trusted travel retail news website that never sleeps. Martin introduced Suredj as Supersonic Suredj - "He's an ebullient, live-wire, irrepressible character who knows only one speed – supersonic." Indeed, he is. I have known Suredj for over four years now since his previous role as Managing Director of HMSHost when he launched the operations in India and led other initiatives in the Asia Pacific Region.
Back to the retail identity. The Dutch agency THEY's founder Van der Vorst remarked - "For us, Explore exactly captures the diversity and forward-looking way in which India is progressing – and at the same time it's a promise, a link to the customer; an invitation to the customer to explore all the great things that can be found in an airport." The colorful logo was also unveiled and the various commercial partners would be able to integrate the new identity with their own, whether it's a store that sells books, music, duty free products or coffee (like Café Coffee Day). What I loved most about the new name is its flexibility – it goes well with almost every category!
The Retail areas are spread over 2 lakh square feet (that's as big as a Mall, someone remarked in the audience). The retail areas have been carefully planned across the domestic and international areas. The common check-in area would have over 100 counters that could be used interchangeably for Domestic and International Airlines (similar to how it is at Bengaluru International Airport where I worked earlier and which introduced this concept two years ago). Focus has been given to walking areas, seating and shopping/dining areas such that each of it is visible from the other. So, when a passenger is walking, he/she cannot miss the shopping areas and the seating areas are close to the dining areas. While most of the shopping areas are on the same floor when a passenger enters, the food courts are a level above. There are two premium coffee outlets planned – a Coffee Day Square in the Domestic Departures and Coffee Bean Tea Leaf in the International Departures. And expect a host of F&B options – from Subway to Mc Donalds, Chinese delicacies to local cuisine, there is everything for everyone's pallet. The Retail areas would sell almost everything possible, including an exclusive area for Luxury Retail and the highlight is going to be the much expected "Dilli Bazaar", an area that would focus on the local favorites from the city.
Later in the evening, there was a cocktail, sit down dinner hosted by none other than the Chairman himself which was preceded by a short interaction. When Martin Moodie who was on the stage with him asked how good the new Terminal 3 would be, Mr. Grandhi promised it would be 10/10 to a thundering applause and cheer from the crowd. When I met him later in the evening to introduce myself and to shake hands, he got up from his seat with a smile – a charming gentleman that he is, I couldn't have expected more! His effervescent personality resonates in his organization and his team. Everyone was so cheerful and enthusiastic and like them, I am also eagerly looking forward to the grandest retail opportunity of our times… Watch this space for more updates over the next months.

Pressed by lack of financial means, low-income social groups often choose to buy foods high in calories and face difficulties in accessing facilities for physical activity, said participants at a European parliamentary symposium on obesity.
The first European Parliamentary symposium on the fight against obesity took place on 18 October 2007. Under discussion were, among others, the role of education, information and awareness-raising in promoting balanced diets and encouraging physical activity.
"If we are urging people to lead healthy lifestyles, our message has to be supported by structural measures that are in line with it. People need to be given the possibility of choosing and buying healthy foods and accessing physical activity infrastructure," said Maria Iglesia-Gomez from the Commission directorate-general for health and consumer protection.
Stakeholders also debated ways to cure obesity as well as the food industry's commitments to increasing healthy choice through product innovation.
"In the day after the World Day for the eradication of poverty, it is important to recall the connection between obesity and poverty. In fact, due to a lack of financial means, many European households no longer have access to highly nutritious food products such as quality milk, fruit and vegetables. That is why Europe could contribute, by a reform of the CAP, in support of the supply of quality fruit and vegetables at more affordable prices," said MEP Frédérique Ries, author of a recent parliamentary report on promoting healthy eating and physical activity.
"Some foods are too expensive for low-income people in society. They turn more to high-energy intensity products. In Sweden, for example, the high social groups do not really have an obesity problem whereas the low-income groups do. This phenomenon is reproduced regarding access to physical activity. The low-income groups have problems here again as they experience problems in accessibility to physical activity, due to costs," said Francesco Branca from the WHO regional office for Europe.
"A priority focus regarding physical obesity and obesity prevention should be children and people of low economic status," said Winfried Banzer from ENGSO, an NGO representing European sports organisations.
Overweight and obesity figures are increasing at an alarming rate in Europe, in particular among lower income groups. Sedentary modern lifestyles and over-eating have elevated obesity to the number one public health challenge of the 21st century. Rapidly increasing childhood obesity is of particular concern.
The European strategy to fight obesity, proposed by the Commission in May 2007, highlights the need for better information for consumers, enabling a healthy choice and encouraging physical activity as the main tools to counter the challenge. The food industry and advertising sector have been given until 2010 to develop, implement, monitor and demonstrate self-regulation.

Q: Why does create-react-app fail to compile after switching branch in local development docker? I created a docker-compose.yml to configure local development docker environment. Everything seems to work fine except when I switch branch with git, create-react-app suddenly fails to recompile. File changes continue to be detected, and hot module reloading is attempted, but I almost always end up with the Failed to compile or Error: invalid hook call error in react-error-overlay. The only way I can recover from this is running docker-compose restart <service name>.

Why does create-react-app fail to compile in the local development docker after a branch change? How do I go about debugging what is going on?
Note running docker-compose restart <service name> is not desirable because the build process takes 2 minutes, and I don't want to wait 2 minutes every time after I change branch.

Beijing Yahe CEO Liu Chunhai discusses major trends in animal production industry
Created: Wednesday, 18 September 2019 04:09
Liu Chunhai, CEO of Beijing Yahe for 12 years, spoke ahead of the EuroTier China about the major challenges in the global animal farming sector and elaborated the company's technical innovation to address them
EuroTier China will be held from 19-21 September in Qingdao International Expo Center (QIEC), China.
Liu Chunhai is the associate professor in Heilongjiang Bayi Agricultural University and goat nutritionist in Liaoning Academy of Animal Sciences. He has won the technology progress prize of Heilongjiang (First Prize – Once; Second Prize – Twice). He has six invention patents as well. Chunhai has first put forward "Glucose Imbalance Theory for Dairy Cows after Calving."
Beijing Yahe is a launch partner for the EuroTier Worldwide Network of animal farming trade fairs.
Major challenges globally for animal farming in the next 5 years
The direct impact of food safety and human health is the direct impact of drug residues on human foods, the potential harm of super bacterial resistance to humans and the potential hazards of zoonotic diseases such as non-clam. It has its own influence and can mutate and harm humanity. The bird flu that has been raging for many years has sounded the alarm for humanity. In addition, the large-scale pollution of large-scale farming on the environment harms the ecological balance of nature and indirectly affects human health.
Beijing Yahe set to address these challenges
It is hoped that Yahe will contribute to safe food for the survival and development of human beings in the non-antibiotics and reduction of antibiotics. It will improve production efficiency from nutrient additives, reduce waste discharge, realise resource conservation, production safety and environmentally friendly solutions and continue to develop safe production alternatives. This includes the plant extract of antibiotics, which focuses on reducing carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus emissions and improving production efficiency.
The role that expert technical know-how, a strong global network and innovation plays in Beijing Yahe
First of all, in terms of ruminants, we use the theory of amino acid balance for cattle and sheep as the mainline to reduce the cost of milk/kg, reduce the feed cost of beef cattle and mutton sheep, improve feed conversion ratio and lead the Chinese ruminant nutrition to the level of developed countries such as Europe and America. At the same time, rumen glucose developed first by us in the world has a significant effect on the dairy cows in the perinatal period. We first put forward the theory of Glucose Metabolism Imbalance for dairy cows in the world and have corrected the lack and deficiency of the theory of negative energy balance in dairy cows. It has been recognised by many famous experts in the world.
In the application of advanced plant essential oil to replace antibiotics, our innovative process technology has improved the shortcomings of some foreign products and achieved good production results in domestic and international markets. Facing the general trend of economic globalisation, we are more dependent on the platform supported by EuroTier to go out of China, to embrace the international market and establish a global network with EuroTier as the line, sales agent and dealer as the point, and point-and-line combination, so as to contribute to human health and food safety.
What does the partnership between Beijing Yahe and EuroTier mean to you and to your company?
As a good platform for EuroTier, we carefully play our roles on this platform and quickly integrate into the international market. EuroTier means that our brand is getting more and more famous and our efficiency is much higher.
What is the one trend in the animal production industry that we can watch out for in the next 12 months?
· Pay attention to the trend of reshuffle and production varieties of the industry by ASF and adjust the company's strategic direction. Pay close attention to the impact of trade wars on domestic livestock product costs
· As for the foreign market, we will seize the trend to reduce and replace antibiotics, strive to emit the sound of Yahe on the international market, show our technological progress and promote global progress.
· In the field of ruminants, continue to help customers in China and out of China to apply rumen products and technologies to improve production efficiency and efficiency
What products do you have for animal farming and how do they help in the production boost?
We have essential oil to replace antibiotics, rumen-protected vitamins, rumen-protected lysine, rumen-protected methionine, rumen-protected glucose and rumen-protected choline chloride to improve the performance of ruminants.
In the recent challenges of using antibiotics as growth promoters in animal, which many studies have shown to have an adverse impact on human health, what solutions do you recommend/provide to ensure a proper quality check?
The technical solution to replace antibiotics should be gradually developed. In the government-scientific research, we will strengthen the guidance of public knowledge and the government will speed up publicity and popularise emission reduction and resistance knowledge. For the consumers, the terminal tracking of meat, eggs and milk is carried out and all aspects of production are grasped to realize traceability of the products.
In the recent outbreak of the African Swine Fever (ASF) in many Asian countries, particularly in China, how does Beijing Yahe support prevention of ASF and other livestock diseases in general?
As for ASF prevention, the government should do a good job in propaganda work, understand the characteristics of ASF and propose prevention plans for swine farms to reduce the fear of pork consumption in the shadow of ASF.
The application of mature essential oil compatibility schemes can improve animal immunity, prevent diarrhoea in young animals and promote and improve survival rate.
In the aspect of milk and milk goats, products such as rumen glucose are used to reduce postpartum metabolic diseases of dairy cows, promote health and improve the production efficiency of dairy cows and dairy goats.
In Asia and the Pacific, do you have any further plan for expansion? How do you see the role of the Asia-Pacific region in the context of the global animal farming industry?
Asia-Pacific is an emerging market in the world. It has a large population and is in the early stage of economic development. Therefore, it has a huge consumption potential and production potential. We strive to cooperate with exhibitors such as EuroTier to promote the brand of Yahe. We pay more attention to cooperation with local industry elites so that our products and technologies will enter into the Asia-Pacific region and the results will flourish.

Healthy Living • Life Well-Lived
How to Stay Healthy If You Work Weird Hours
By Melissa Rudy
Once you've nailed down your why for healthy living, it's time to figure out the when. For those working a traditional first-shift job, it's usually a toss-up between exercising in the early morning or late afternoon—but if you have a non-traditional schedule, squeezing in your daily sweat can get a little dicier.
More than 15 million Americans work unconventional work schedules, such as evening shift, night shift, rotating shifts or other unique arrangements. For the on-call doctor, a scheduled spin class can be instantly knocked off the agenda by an emergency at the hospital. For the evening worker who clocks out at 6 a.m. after a 10-hour shift, hitting the sack might take priority over hitting the punching bag. And the server who's on her feet waiting tables in a busy restaurant may not have much energy for exercise after closing time.
Despite the obvious hurdles, exercise is especially important for the health of those who work erratic schedules. "Exercise is more than just burning calories—it's a break from your daily routine, a chance to recharge and take your mind off your stressors," says Hannah Fleischman, owner of H & Arrow Fitness. "Plus, studies prove it boosts your immune system, speeds up your metabolism and helps prevent disease. It's also known to help participants cope with stress more effectively by lowering levels of cortisol, the stress hormone that makes your body store extra calories as fat."
Finding room for healthy living in a hectic work life might not be easy, but by introducing a few creative schedule tweaks and smart strategies, it is possible—and entirely worthwhile.
Nutrition Hacks
Keep a "safety box" of filling foods on hand.
When you don't work a standard nine-to-five schedule, you're most likely not eating at traditional meal times, which makes it a challenge to find healthier choices. Ken Immer, president of Culinary Health Solutions, suggests creating a stash of healthy, protein-packed foods that effectively reduce hunger and eliminate convenience snacking.
"Keep a 'safety box' of some filling foods in your car, at your desk or at another location where you can often feel trapped without any good choices," Immer recommends. "The box can contain foods like beef jerky, nuts, nut butter, apples or high-fiber bars. The key is to have single-serving amounts that you can grab as needed."
Prep meals on your days off.
Preparation is the key to avoiding the temptation of takeout, convenience foods and break room treats. Alysha Coughler, coach and registered dietician at Build My Body Beautiful, suggests using your day off as a food prepping session.
"Cook healthy food in large batches and then pack a week's worth of lunches, dinners and snacks," recommends Coughler. "This plan not only saves time, but also prevents unscheduled trips to the vending machine or all-night drive-thru window if you work nights when healthy meals are harder to find."
For health coach Jill Ginsberg, Sunday is meal prep day. "All it takes is about 30 minutes of work to set yourself up for some serious healthy eating success for the rest of the week," she says. Ginsberg's four staples are to make a pot of whole grains, roast a pan of veggies, make one sauce or dressing, and create a mini "salad bar" in her fridge by marinating some kale or just using a bag of pre-washed lettuce, along with cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, sliced peppers and cucumbers.
"After taking the time to gather those four things, you'll have a bunch of meals—including salads, burritos and grain bowls—at the ready," says Ginsberg. "Simply add the protein of your choice, like salmon, chicken or tofu, or dice up some avocado and toss in some beans."
Fuel up for your day, the right way.
Personal trainer Tricia Brouk understands the challenges of a demanding schedule, but also stresses the importance of fueling with the right foods. When she gets up at 4:30 a.m. to work with three back-to-back clients, she needs to have enough energy to stay focused, but doesn't want to consume the entire morning's worth of calories before 9:00.
"At that time of day, it's important to eat something that can be digested easily, but that packs the biggest energy and nutrition punch," says Brouk. One of her morning staples is a small bowl of steel-cut oatmeal with five raw almonds, which gets her through those first three clients without weighing her down. And because that first breakfast is only 120 calories, she can consume another small meal later in the morning. "Not only does this stoke the metabolic fire to burn more calories, but it also keeps me from overeating at lunch."
Say yes to smoothies.
For time-crunched shift workers, drinking a daily smoothie is one of the quickest, easiest ways to squeeze in the recommended servings of fruits and veggies. To make the process even faster, Ginsberg likes to prepare smoothie freezer packs in advance. She fills labeled baggies with the fruit and veggie ingredients for each smoothie and keeps the bags in the freezer.
"When you're ready to make your smoothie, simply add your liquid to the base of the blender followed by the contents of the smoothie pack," Ginsberg says. "Blend until smooth, and you have a smoothie in seconds. Don't forget to also add extras like seeds, nut butters, protein powder or spices."
Cut back on caffeine.
It can be tempting to reach for the coffee or soda for a quick pick-me-up during sleep-deprived shifts, but that strategy could backfire, says Dr. Aaron Braun from SignatureCare Emergency Center.
"It's easy to use caffeine as a crutch when working a strange schedule, but stopping intake a few hours before your shift ends will allow your body to wind down and relax properly when you get home," says Dr. Braun. "Caffeine can stay in the body for up to three to five hours, so timing your intake is a good way to have a healthy work-life balance."
Make traditionally "non-portable" foods more accessible.
Soups and salads traditionally call for a sit-down meal, but when you're on call or on the clock, eating can be more of a vertical affair. That doesn't mean you can't still enjoy your favorite meals—you just have to find creative ways to repackage them.
Immer is a big fan of mason jar salads as an easy solution for grabbing greens on the go. He makes several ahead of time so he can grab one as he leaves the house. "Just a quick shake, and they're dressed and ready to eat wherever you might be."
For portable soups, Immer suggests using a large vacuum bottle to keep the contents hot for up to 12 hours. "It can be simple like miso soup, or just a bone broth to sip on during the day as a more filling beverage to keep hunger at bay."
When eating outside of a normal schedule, you can also enlist the help of friends or family to store leftovers from mealtime in to-go containers, since cooking a full dinner at midnight might wake up the rest of the house.
Exercise Hacks
Embrace bodyweight exercises.
When you can't get to the gym—or even to a hotel weight room—make the most of bodyweight exercises that you can do anywhere, sans equipment. "You can get a killer workout in just minutes by mixing together simple exercises like jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers, squats, sit ups and pushups," says Ginsberg. "When you get bored with those exercises, shuffle things up by adding a new one." Ginsberg prefers to write her routine on a mini whiteboard and hang it somewhere highly visible: "The more you see it, the more likely you are to do it!"
NASM-certified personal trainer Allan Misner is a big fan of the 20-second workout. He picks a few bodyweight exercises and does a set of 10 whenever he has a spare minute. "Over the course of a work shift, you could get a full-body workout, 20 seconds at a time."
Misner also recommends Tabata-style workouts, which involve doing an exercise at full pace for 20 seconds and then resting for 10 seconds, for eight rounds total. "Beyond the cardiovascular benefits of this high-intensity interval training style, you'll get your full workout done in just four minutes," he says.
When Brouk is on set for 14-hour days and can't get to the gym, she still sets aside 20 minutes to do this quick bodyweight routine three times through: 25 squats, 25 pushups (full or modified on knees), 25 bicycles and a forearm plank. "This mini-workout not only starts your metabolic engine, but also puts you in the right frame of mind to do an excellent job at work."
Get a healthy dose of realism.
Even with the best of intentions, the medical worker who leaves the hospital at 6 a.m. may be hard-pressed to summon the energy for a pre-sunrise workout. Genevieve Malone, trainer and founder of The Inertia Project, has many clients who struggle to squeeze in exercise around unconventional work schedules. Above all, she encourages them to be honest with themselves.
"My lawyer client liked the idea of working out in the morning, but was always exhausted when she woke up, so her workouts suffered," Malone says. "We had an honest talk, and decided it was better to focus on doing the workouts after work. When she let go of her 'ideal vision' of those morning workouts, she was actually able to complete more workouts and see better results."
Incorporate exercise in creative ways.
Unconventional schedules call for unconventional workouts. Exercise doesn't have to involve treadmills or dumbbells. Many of Malone's clients find creative ways to incorporate physical movement into their jam-packed workdays.
"One of my clients bikes to work because it takes the same amount of time as driving," she says. "Another babysits her niece and uses playtime with her as a fun way to work out. She even carries her on her back for added weight during squats and stair steps."
If your job involves extended sitting, such as at a late-night call center, there are plenty of exercises you can do at or around your desk while on the clock. Yoga instructor Alexis Novak offers these creative ideas:
Oblique chair tilts: Sit on the edge of a chair, plant your feet firmly, sit up straight and engage your core. Tilt the body to the right and left by reaching your fingertips toward the ground.
Wall sits: Find a wall, walk your feet about three feet forward, press your back firmly up against it and glide down until your knees are in line with your hips and your thighs are parallel with the ground. Engaging your core and glutes, hold and breathe for one minute with a 30-second break, and then repeat for four reps.
Downward facing dog "runs": Take a downward facing dog pose. Alternate right and left heel lifts, hopping from side to side like an inverted run. Keep this cardio burst up for 45 seconds, then take a 15-second break. Repeat for three reps.
Desktop heel lifts: Walk your hips up to the side of a desk. Elevate the heels as high as you can. Lower them to hover above the ground, re-elevate and repeat for 60 seconds. Adjust the feet to a little wider than hip distance and repeat. For the final set, brings the heels together and point the toes out, then repeat the raises.
Trade social media for movement.
How many times a day do you scroll through your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter feed? If all of those minutes were spent exercising instead of e-socializing, they could add up to a significant calorie burn.
"Each time you find yourself scrolling through your social media accounts, do a set of squats or calf raises instead," recommends Jill Franklin, trainer and owner of Aerial Physique. Another option would be to do a little bartering: For every five minutes of Facebook, for example, commit to an equivalent amount of exercise.
Make meal prep part of your workout.
You don't have to be at the gym, or even out on the sidewalk, to reap the benefits of movement. Fleischman encourages her clients to consider preparing meals as part of their workout.
"Think about the physical activity you do for cooking," she says. "Walking around the grocery store pushing your cart, loading and unloading your groceries, washing, cutting and cleaning the ingredients—and then the actual steps it takes to cook your meal and wash your dishes." Even if you pick up some healthy takeout, you're missing out on burning all those calories you would have spent cooking.
Make the first day back non-negotiable.
If you know you'll have several days off in a row due to unavoidable work obligations, choose the day you'll resume the workouts and make that a 100 percent no-skip day, recommends Malone. "Having that day set beforehand prevents the familiar tug of 'I'll do it tomorrow' and then never getting back into the swing of things," she says.
From healthcare to hospitality to tech support, there are plenty of jobs that fall outside the traditional nine-to-five timetable. If your workday defies conventional schedules, you don't have to resign yourself to a life devoid of exercise or nutrition. By sneaking in some clever health hacks, you can maintain your physique without compromising your paycheck or your passion.

Bekas è un film del 2012 diretto da Karzan Kader.

È girato in lingua curda; uscito nelle sale italiane nel 2015.

Trama
Ambientato nel Kurdistan iracheno durante la guerra in Iraq degli anni '90 e sotto il regime di Saddam Hussein, Bekas (lett. "Orfani") narra la storia di Zana e Dana, due fratelli orfani che trascorrono le loro giornate lucidando scarpe e arrangiandosi come possono.

Il loro punto di riferimento è Baba Shalid, un anziano signore cieco che gestisce un negozio di radio usate, ma un giorno muore lasciando i due fratelli nello sconforto.

Dopo aver visto il film di Superman nel cinema locale, senza nessun parente e senza nessun legame, decidono di mettersi in marcia per raggiungere l'America e incontrare Superman. Prima provano con un trasportatore di clandestini vendendo quello che possono, ma non hanno fortuna, e poi con un asino che comprano con i pochi risparmi che hanno, che chiamano Michael Jackson.

Si incamminano verso questo luogo che immaginano ricco di luci e di grattacieli ma pensano che la distanza sia piccola in quanto, da una cartina, scambiano l'America con l'Europa.

Arrivati al confine pensano di passare tranquillamente con l'asino, non impiegano molto a capire che il passaggio non è facile con tanti militari e carri armati a sorvegliare.

Dopo varie vicissitudini tentano il passaggio clandestino saltando sui camion di merci ma le loro traversie non si fermano in quanto devono poi attraversare una zona minata. Alla fine si accorgono che, nonostante l'America, il loro legame è sempre più stretto.

Riconoscimenti
Il film ha vinto il premio della giuria popolare al Dubai Film Festival del 2012.

Kristen Bell's Daughters Know the Plot of Frozen 2, and How Can We Bribe Them to Tell?
Kristen Bell's Kids Know the Plot of Frozen 2
29 August, 2019 by Alessia Santoro
As if we weren't already upset that Kristen Bell isn't our mom, another perk of being her kid just cropped up: her daughters already know the entire plot and all of the new songs to Disney's Frozen 2, which doesn't come out until Nov. 22. Four-year-old Delta and 6-year-old Lincoln became privy to the upcoming film's finer details when Kristen started singing the new songs around the house, and we know what you're thinking, but trust, there's no way you can bribe these girls to share what they know . . . they know they'll get in trouble big time if they tell!
"I did explain to my kids that they can't talk about it," Kristen told E! at the 2019 D23 Expo. "I was singing the songs to them very early on and thank god their words are still muddled when they're singing, which has saved me a couple times when they've gone full voice with a new hit from Frozen 2 in the middle of the living room. I'm like, 'Oh, oh, don't.' I had to explain to them they couldn't really talk about it, this had to be a secret."
"I have told them the entire plot line," she said. "They know everything, they know all the new characters, they know all the new songs. And they can sing them, but they know they're gonna get big time busted if they tell anyone."
We're so jealous! Guess we'll just have to wait until Nov. 22 to be included in this exclusive circle of knowledge. (By the way, Frozen 2 comes out just 10 days after Disney+'s launch, giving you plenty of time to watch Frozen on repeat beforehand!)

No MDR Charges On RuPay, UPI Payments From Jan. 1: Nirmala Sitharaman
Dec 28 2019, 6:30 PM Dec 28 2019, 6:30 PM December 28 2019, 6:30 PM December 28 2019, 6:30 PM
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said no merchant discount rate, or MDR, charges will be applicable on transactions using RuPay and UPI platforms from Jan. 1, 2020.
The Department of Revenue will soon notify RuPay and Unified Payments Interface as the prescribed mode of payment for digital transactions without any MDR, she said after meeting with the chief executive officers of public sector banks in New Delhi.
Accordingly, all companies with a turnover of Rs 50 crore or more will be mandated by the revenue department to provide the facility of payment through RuPay debit card and UPI QR code to their customers, she said.
MDR is the cost paid by a merchant to a bank for accepting payment from customers via digital means. It is expressed in percentage of the transaction amount.
"After extensive consultation with stakeholders, banks and so on, I'm happy to say that announcement which was made in the budget will see the notification coming on January 1, 2020, whereby those modes which are getting notified will not have charges under the MDR being levied on them," Sitharaman said.
In her budget speech in July, Sitharaman had proposed that businesses should offer low-cost digital modes of payment such as BHIM UPI, UPI QR code, Aadhaar Pay, debit cards, NEFT, RTGS, etc., to their customers, and no charge or MDR shall be imposed on customers to promote digital payment.
All banks will now start a campaign to popularise RuPay debit card and UPI in order to strengthen the digital payment ecosystem and move towards a less-cash economy. The finance minister said the government has already amended two laws—Income Tax Act, 1961, and the Payments and Settlement Systems Act, 2007,—to give effect to these provisions.
The minister also launched a common e-auction platform to sell the attached assets of defaulters for the improved realisation of value. The platform is equipped with property search features and navigational links to all public sector banks' e-auction websites, provides single-window access to information on properties up for e-auction as well as a facility for comparison of similar properties.
According to latest data, a total of 35,000 properties have been uploaded on the platform by public sector banks. The state-run lenders have attached assets worth over Rs 2.3 lakh crore over the last three financial years.

If the number of people visiting your website is important to you or if you measure the success of your site by it's visits, there is an easy way to increase Traffic: Search engine optimisation and Google ads. But that'S the fast track to ruin.
There is this thing called Search Engine Marketing, mainly Google AdWords and display ads. In combination with on site search engine optimisation it is a powerful tool to increase the awareness of your website. And thus its traffic. But it comes at a cost. Virtually if you pay for Google AdWords or as hidden costs of paying a professional to analyse and code your site to be search engine optimised.
Okay, let's assume you are fine with spending your money on ads and key word analysis. But what do you do with the visitor you just attracted?
Are you welcoming them with a landing page that barely meets the key words of the ad—or do you even send them to your home page (wich is worse)?
Are you confusing them with a wild bunch of products and a navigation no one understands at first glance?
Are you putting them off with too many required fields in your contact form or with forcing them to sign in when they just want to buy?
Are you leaving them alone with questions they may have and don't encourage them to turn to you via phone, e-mail, chat, twitter, facebook and so on?
If you answered all these questions with "no" you can stop reading here. You seem to be well prepared to welcome new visitors with a thoroughly optimised website and it is a brilliant idea to increase traffic with money.
But if you don't put the user experience first, if you try to increase traffic now and care for UX later, I think you have a problem. So before you ask for SEO you may be well advised to care for UXO—user experience optimisation.
Yes, sure I invented UXO. But think about it: The web is about users not numbers. And conversion is about users as well. And even Google tries to deliver good content to people. It may seem like Google is this divine eye on overwatch of the digital world. But they make a living on delivering results for real people. They know that user acceptance is their most valuable benefit.
And just so, you sell your products to real people, not to search engines. It's not all about being found but being nice. Google doesn't buy your stuff, people do.
Yes, there is a truth to more visits = more sales. But quantity is not the problem in the web. And yes, if you have a very niche product and a very small target group you may be forced to put a lot of money into advertising and marketing. But only if you aim for a local audience not a global. Only if you have only a limited number of customers in your area, you need to make yourself known—and that will cost you money.
But in the web, you have an unlimited number of potential customers.
You have a niche product with little competition.
You try to sell your product within a highly competitive market.
In both cases people will find you and your product. Either because you are the only one selling that stuff, or because so many people are searching. And once they found you, all you have to do is convince them that you are the perfect fit. You could do this by offering the lowest price, but who wants that? What you'd rather do, is give them an assuring brand. You don't get a USP by buing a massive number of visitors but by building an extraordinary user experience.
To be frank, there is a third scenario, that AdWords are very suitable for: You have a new product with little competition, that nobody knows about. If you can't expect anyone to search for a keyword you address, you probably give them a nudge towards the thing you sell. But then again, should you not rather put your emphasis on content marketing and reaching influencers and early adopters?
Invest in your brand, not in Google.
So let my try to conclude. I think that buying visits is a short sighted approach. Thinking about your users first, is cheaper and more efficient. You spend less money on a longer lasting revenue. And you invest in your brand, not in Google.
And there is a side effect to UXO you should not underestimate. UXO makes good SEO but not the other way around. You can make a website perfectly Google optimised but the users hate it. If you write good copy, for people to easily grasp, if you have a low barrier site structure, search engines will love your site—and not only those you did bribe.

Can quantum computers design quantum computers autonomously better than other methods?
We've seen people use computers to design computers, AI to write computer programs, robots teach themselves, and even robots build themselves. I understand that conventional computers can be used to emulate quantum computers.
Robotic arm builds more robotic arms.
My question is: Will quantum computers be inherently able to design better quantum computers (which presumably robots could then build) or is that task better suited to Deep Learning / AI and conventional computers (with human intervention)?
Perhaps another way to ask the question, though I'm fairly certain that this won't make it clearer: "Do conventional computers limit us to quantum Darwinism while quantum computers might enable universal Darwinism with respect to the evolution of quantum computer design?".
Oversimplified (not the question): Could they understand (design) themselves better than classical computers, Deep Learning / AI, or mankind - IE: they do not suffer from what Zurek calls "pointer states".
physical-realization architecture quantum-turing-machine
RobRob
Sort of, quite possibly, if by degrees
This is a speculative, but plausible, answer
First of all, how do qubits interact and states evolve with time?
The description of how individual qubits evolve (i.e. a single qubit gate operation) is given by some Hamiltonian1. Multiple, non-interacting qubits (that are exactly the same) therefore evolve using multiples of that same Hamiltonian. However, as soon as you include some form of interaction, simulating the exact evolution of a large number of interacting qubits quickly becomes intractable (which is exactly why quantum computers should be useful, in theory).
Now, how are quantum processors designed?
Designing the microarchitecture of a processor (such as the connectivity, layout of the chip etc.) is one thing, but engineering sizes of qubits, waveguides etc. requires going on a computer and running detailed simulations a lot of the time. If there was a way to simulate large Hamiltonians for a long time, it's reasonable to assume that this would help improve knowledge of how the qubits interact with each other and the environment, such as in a more detailed version of this and extensions thereof, as well as generally being able to look at how multiple qubits interact at once. This would in turn allow for improved design of the details of chip, which would lead to effects such as reduction of decoherence.
Finally, what are quantum computers good at?
As mentioned above, quantum computers are potentially useful because of what makes them hard to simulate - a quantum computer is a system that quickly becomes intractable it simulate with increasing numbers of qubits. However, something that quantum computers offer a speedup of is... Hamiltonian simulation.
In other words, by iteratively running a quantum Hamiltonian simulation, using a classical computer to (tell the quantum computer to) vary certain parameters, it's not unreasonable to assume that a quantum computer could help for optimising certain aspects of the chip to e.g. reduce decoherence times, improve fidelities etc. In turn offering better simulations and allowing for yet more qubits, which potentially offers better simulations and the continual improvement would (hopefully) begin.
As for whether it does, or if classically simulating a few qubits and extrapolating from this would give a just-as-good design is something that only time will tell.
1 Having said that, in linear optical quantum computers (at least), unitaries are implemented directly using physical components such as beam splitters and phase shifters directly describing the unitary, as opposed to, say, superconducting, where applying microwaves is described in terms of a Hamiltonian, which is then used to give a unitary. OK, all this is maybe simplifying a bit, but that gets the gist across. What does matter is that, in linear optical quantum computers, generating the photons on say, a ring resonator, is described by a Hamiltonian
Mithrandir24601♦Mithrandir24601
We don't yet know if quantum computers are actually better than classical computers, as @heather mentions here. As for now there are just some theoretical algorithms which we know of, specifically for quantum-computers, which have much better time complexities than equivalent classical algorithms. For example - prime factorization and discrete logarithms.
Wiki also says:
Besides factorization and discrete logarithms, quantum algorithms offering a more than polynomial speedup over the best known classical algorithm have been found for several problems, including the simulation of quantum physical processes from chemistry and solid state physics, the approximation of Jones polynomials, and solving Pell's equation. No mathematical proof has been found that shows that an equally fast classical algorithm cannot be discovered, although this is considered unlikely. For some problems, quantum computers offer a polynomial speedup. The most well-known example of this is quantum database search, which can be solved by Grover's algorithm using quadratically fewer queries to the database than are required by classical algorithms. In this case the advantage is provable. Several other examples of provable quantum speedups for query problems have subsequently been discovered, such as for finding collisions in two-to-one functions and evaluating NAND trees.
Whether you can use these speedups to design better quantum computers, depends. I can imagine that you could of course simulate a quantum computer using another quantum computer, which could help in making new designs or rather testing-before-building. But I don't think polynomial speedups, faster prime factorizations, etc. will directly help in designing a quantum computer, unless you actually make use of it somehow.
P.S: This is a very short and perhaps incomplete answer, I know. I just wanted to give the OP a basic idea. I'd request others to write alternate answers to this question.

Midcoast cartography talk in Brunswick
The Times Record
Matt Edney Che Keshu
Friends of Merrymeeting Bay's fifth presentation of their 23nd annual Winter Speaker Series, entitled George Sproule's Mapping the Mid-Coast, 1770, features Matthew Edney, Oster Professor in History of Cartography at the University of Southern Maine. This event takes place in the Morrill Meeting Room of Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick on Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m.
This presentation is also known as "George Sproule's Mapping of Mid-Coast Colonial Maine: Local Colonists vs. Imperial Agents." George Sproule (1743–1817) mapped Merrymeeting Bay in about 1770 as part of an imperial project to map the coasts of British North America. This heavily illustrated presentation explores the nature of Sproule's work in the context of colonial mapping practices and the distinct nature of the imperial project.

Will the Pacific North Coast Oil Tanker Ban Hold Water? A Review of Canada's Proposed New Legislation
Will the Oil Tanker Ban Hold Water (PDF)
Oil tankers, Pacific coast
In January 2016, West Coast Environmental Law Association released Keeping Our Coast Clean: Frequently Asked Questions About an Oil Tanker Ban on BC's Pacific North Coast, in response to the Prime Minister's direction to formalize an oil tanker ban on the north coast of British Columbia. Since that time, West Coast lawyers have participated in Transport Canada roundtables, made written and oral submissions, and met with Ministers and federal officials to advocate for strong oil tanker ban legislation, in collaboration with allies from First Nations, labour organizations, northern community groups and environmental organizations.
On November 29, 2016, the federal government announced that it will introduce legislation in spring 2017 to entrench an oil tanker ban on the north coast of British Columbia, and it provided preliminary details on the content of the legislation. In Will the Pacific North Coast Oil Tanker Ban Hold Water? A Review of Canada's Proposed New Legislation, West Coast evaluates the available details on the federal government's proposal for oil tanker ban legislation.


Born in 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina – Lives and works in Buenos Aires. The art of Eduardo Basualdo is one of passages and thresholds: between the material and the immaterial, the visible and the invisible, the word and the thing and also between different moments in time – for these, the artist prefers the notion of limbo, conceived of not as a final destination for unsaved souls but as a waiting-space: the prenatal wait within the womb, the imminence of impending dawn. His work is designed to fill the viewer with the expectation of something else about to happen or to be seen, beautiful or terrifying, ready to pounce or fall, endowing Borges' dictum "the aesthetic experience is, perhaps, the imminence of a revelation that does not occur" with full sensorial and even material strength. Man, in this conception, is an amphibian being, always on the verge of crawling out from the water onto land, from matter into spirit, from bodily organs to the mind, and then back again.
Basualdo's works will, whether we want to or not, train our eye to perceive what is not there, what lies beyond. In his works (in his worlds) there is always more than meets the eye: and what does meet the eye is there to lead it towards this dimension of the yet unseen. However much there might be, there is always more: a chink in an otherwise solid door, some extra space and emptiness behind or beyond the continuous lines of everyday life, the ghostly image of what lies beneath the table or behind the wall, the visible shadow of the hidden blade.
His art constructs a peepshow into other worlds.

OceanaSugar Hill, St James
Unique property characterized by its intricate poolside façade, vaulted tower and internal garden is ideal for a group getaway.
Overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Oceana is a magnificent four bedroom estate villa on the prime location of Ocean Ridge in the exclusive gated community of Sugar Hill.
Secluded amidst tropical trees and shrubs, including frangipani, bougainvillea, ginger lilies, banana and coconut palms, and approached via a private driveway adjacent to the house, Oceana maximises the benefits of its superb position with the enjoyment of tropical living.
The internal design is stunning, with elegantly curved doors and windows in natural wood reflecting a cloister-like ambience within the coral stone walls. The matching jalousie shutters throughout the house add a further touch of refinement, and provide a cooling sea breeze in the living areas to complement the ceiling fans. There are three bedrooms in the main house, with the fourth in a separate self-contained cottage in the grounds. All bedrooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans, walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms with marble throughout.
The living room opens out onto the expansive covered terrace through two sets of French windows. Beyond is the large pool deck, the gardens and the azure sea. On the right the hall leads to the lower bedroom wing with its own hallway and door for additional privacy and quietness. Across the hall is a twin bedroom, where the beds can also be arranged as a kingsize, with a private patio. At the end of the hallway is the Queen Bedroom Suite, with sitting area, which opens through French windows onto both the pool deck and the covered terrace.
The tower, reminiscent of a medieval bell-tower, is a feature of the house with its high vaulted ceiling and ornate windows. At the top of the stairs you enter the Master Bedroom Suite, with superking size four poster bed and separate dressing room. The ensuite bathroom has a large corner bath tub, a separate shower and twin basins. Running the length of the Master Suite and approached through two sets of French windows is its private veranda, offering truly spectacular westerly views of the Caribbean Sea.
The picturesque, partially open-air dining room looking out towards the sea is an impressive feature of the house, with its own internal garden and cathedral ceiling. The spectacular black granite dining table on carved coral pedestals is complemented by a matching built-in bar, the perfect place for cocktails as you watch the sun set on the sea. Next to the house is the self-contained, air-conditioned, one bedroom cottage with ensuite bathroom and separate kitchen. This can be configured as twin beds or king size as required. Guests of Oceana have the use of all the Sugar Hill amenities. These include a clubhouse with large pool, restaurant, fully-equipped, air-conditioned fitness centre and members lounge, as well as the first class David Lloyd tennis facilities. Sugar Hill is a gated community with security guards both at the gate and on patrol 24 hours a day.

評論: Still waiting for better symmetry. Hey, this thing may just rip but I'd rather wait for the confirmation if not already LOng.
評論: No need to adjust my stop yet.
評論: Fellow traders and followers, I had to preface this to say that I will not be able to devote as much time to assisting and working with our fellow traders as frequently. Yes, I did and will ALWAYS say that I am a technical trader and ultra long term Crypto Bull--on a few particular coins ;-). However, longmoney has taken a lot of profits during this correction. And I have some needed upgrades to attend to in order to accommodate my trading setup.
But longmoney isn't leaving Tradingview. I give back because the more money I make, the more money we all make. I will be upgrading my Account Subscription plan to accommodate more time to my new trading setup and long term trading goals and needs. Once that is complete, I will be able to add other website and contact information a la carte.
I hate EOS, but damn that was a MONEY call!

Will you join me in spreading love and kindness? It sounds simple doesn't it? Well, in truth, it isn't that easy, but there isn't a better time than NOW to be brave, courageous, diligent and fierce and stand up tall and proud for love and kindness.
When I ask people to choose kindness, so many say 'I always choose kindness' and I bet 99.9 percent of those are untrue, even though they 'think' they do. I choose love and kindness most of the time as this is my passion and purpose to let people know they are worthy of living their dreams. However, I am not loving and kind all the time. Sometimes I'm not very loving and kind to myself. Sometimes it's others, but it does happen.
Now before you decide to join me – and I want to HEAR FROM YOU if you are going to join me, let me explain what love and kindness means to me. The word love can be loaded with meaning and people often jump to it being a romantic love. Romance is of course amazing and needed. Love of family, friends, pets is also powerful. When I do free hugs, I used to say I was spreading love but so many felt it was sexual love, so I changed it to saying spreading kindness.
On that thought, kindness also has it's challenges. I've been accused of being 'too nice' and therefore not seen as strong. I personally don't believe you can be too kind. I believe that you can be kind and still say no and have boundaries on what you will and will not accept in your life. I can be kind and still disagree with others. So let me give you how I see love and kindness in context with my work and then you can decide if you are willing to be brave, courageous, diligent and fierce with me.
Love – Kindness in action.
Kindness – A inner strength of shining light upon yourself, others and the world regardless of seen and unseen circumstances.
I promise you, if you choose to stand with me, you will mess up – I sure do! But you will also clean up. You will be so focused on love and kindness that when you stray too far into fear, you will be reminded that you are brave, courageous, diligent and fierce as you ARE love and kindness.
Being gentle with yourself and others truly knowing everyone is doing the best they can with the current circumstances they find themselves in.
Being okay messing up and stepping into fear from time to time. Fear allows you to see what you don't want, so you can return to love and kindness much quicker and more certain than before.
Sending love to those who are steeped in fear. There are certainly fearful things going on in the world right now as there has been through eternity. I am not asking you to ignore what is going on, far from it. I am asking you to stand TALLER in love and kindness because of what is going on. Your getting angry and defiant is adding fuel to a heated topic. Feel what you need to feel, but don't act upon those feelings. And that includes complaining about them, calling people names and demonizing people who are acting upon fear.
Acting from a space of love rather than fear. Action, action, action – I am all for action…as long as it's coming from a space of love over fear. Dig deep and pull out your inner Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Jesus, or any other peace leader. Fear based actions certainly have consequences, but unless you are personally involved in the situation, it's not your job to bring down the punishment. However you can add love. And let us not forget that prayer, meditation, intention, and positive thoughts are also action steps. As is reaching out to your congressmen, senators, and local leaders and telling them how you want them to support love, peace, compassion and fairness. Click here to find out your congressmen. Click here to contact your senators. Stand up, speak up from a space of love. VOTE for those who uplift rather than tear down.
Being loving, kind and peaceful in your own life. If the global concerns are bothering you, step back from trying to solve world problems and ask how you can bring more love, kindness and peace into your world. I promise you, if we each started doing this in our own place in the world, the shift would be massive. Share your smile, share a kind word, volunteer – do something everyday that brightens the life of someone else. Little acts of kindness make huge impacts.
Focusing on what you want in your life. Start talking about what you want in your life, who you want to see in leadership roles in the government, how you want your community to be. If you are agreeing to join me, that means you will STOP calling people names…even the ones you think deserve it. Love doesn't call names. Jesus doesn't call names. Martin Luther King didn't call names. Gandhi didn't call names.
Being brave in your own life. How are you allowing fear to run your life? Look into it and see how you can be more loving and kind to you.
Letting people know they matter. The majority of people out there hurting people with words or actions are because of their own fears of not being seen, not being heard and not feeling they matter in the world. It doesn't happen overnight, it's a buildup. So before it builds up, be that person who share kindness with others. A smile is the easiest gesture you can do.
I know, I know – love can be very scary, but it is oh so worth it. You feel like you can get hurt if you love too much, but I promise you, you only get hurt if you love too little. Love isn't asking you to pretend there isn't pain in the world or people abusing their power. It's asking to be brave, courageous, diligent and fierce on it's behalf as it takes true bravery to be loving and kind. It takes true strength to be loving and kind and it take each of us doing our part to showcase love and kindness.
So are you in? I insert your name here agree to stand for love and kindness. I agree to focus on what I want in my life and in the world. I agree to be kind in my thoughts, words and actions, even with people I disagree with. I agree to focus on solutions rather than problems. I agree to see people's hearts over their fears. I know I will mess up as will others, and I will be gentle with myself and others when we mess up. I agree to be Brave, Courageous, Diligent and Fierce knowing that LOVE IS THE ANSWER.
I will focus on spreading love and kindness to all I meet.

Fashion for Good Opens Innovative New Museum in Amsterdam
Adidas X Parley Features in the Good Fashion Journey
When ISPO Textrends launched Blind Faith, a mega trend that highlighted the importance of transparency from brands to pass on to the consumer, it was clear that sustainability in the textile chain through to retail was becoming a major factor in final purchasing decisions, as consumers become more involved and concerned with where their apparel comes from and what it was made from. This mega trend has been gaining momentum, and continues to do so, with brands announcing regularly what they are doing on a sustainable level.

Sustainable and Circular Fashion Innovation Features in a Unique Experience
Times have changed, in today's market the consumer is in control and expects their brands to pursue a strong sustainable ethos in conserving energy and resources. The interest from consumers is palpable, with Fashion for Good opening a brand new Fashion for Good Experience in Amsterdam.
The exhibition is an innovative, interactive technology-driven museum focusing on sustainable and circular fashion innovation. The museum aims to change the hearts and minds of visitors by helping them discover the stories behind their clothes, learn how they can take action and explore how they can have an impact on both an industry and international level. Through a personalized journey towards transformation, visitors will learn about the history of good fashion, discover more sustainable products and explore future fashion innovations.
Educating and Engaging the Consumer
Through a series of interactive exhibits and activations, visitors can discover 50+ innovations on the verge of disrupting the fashion industry. At the center of the Experience is a digitally enabled Good Fashion Journey, through which they can discover and commit to ways to make a difference. At the end, visitors can take home their own personalized Good Fashion Action Plan, a digital guide filled with inspiring tips, as well as ways to implement them into their daily lives.
Fashion for Good - C2C Design Studio.
Pushing the Boundaries of Good Fashion
The museum will also showcase concepts that push the boundaries of good fashion through The Good Shop, which features a carefully curated collection built around an inspiring theme that will change every three months. The first collection is themed "Splash: Rethinking the Role of Water in Fashion" and features innovative pieces from adidas x Parley, Kings of Indigo, ECOALF, Insane in the Rain, Karün and Miss Bay.
Read here: The research project Sport Infinity has set itself the goal of developing a new generation of recyclable sporting goods.
B2B and B2C - Both Sides of the Story
Located in the heart of Amsterdam, this unique space will combine storytelling and interactive learning with world-class programming, with the ultimate aim to make all fashion good. Fashion for Good believes that changing the fashion industry is only possible when both the industry and consumers change. That is why the Experience showcases both sides of the story, looking at innovations within the industry on a supply chain and product level, while empowering visitors with a new outlook on fashion and providing them with tangible actions they can take. Questions asked and answered include: How is biodegradable glitter made? Can a dress be made from mushroom roots? How can blockchain technology make the garment production process more transparent?
How it was Made
Like the fashion industry, Fashion for Good is on its own sustainability journey and has made every decision fitting out the space with sustainability in mind. Everything on display has been thoroughly assessed against Fashion for Good's sustainability criteria, and the organization sought materials that are cleaner and safer than conventional alternatives and designed for more than one use.

The Fashion for Good Experience, at Rokin 102, will open on the 5th of October. The Experience will be open seven days a week.

Donald Trump: PM Modi is a good friend but India is a tough trade negotiator
"Modi is my friend and now her (Ivanka) friend and has great respect for India and the Indian people that I can say," said the US President as he introduced his daughter to the audience, who was present in the room
Sirf News Network
Washington: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday described India as "very good negotiators" as he celebrated Diwali in the White House along with top Indian-Americans and said he is "grateful" for his friendship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"The United States has deep ties to the nation of India and I am grateful for my friendship with Prime Minister Modi," Trump said before lighting the ceremonial Diya in the historic Roosevelt Room of the White House. It is the second consecutive year that Trump has celebrated the largest festival of India and Indian Americans in the White House.
"We're trying very hard to make better trade deals with India. But, they're very good traders. They're very good negotiators. You would say right. The best. So we're working. And it's moving along," Trump said referring to the India-US trade deal negotiations that have started between the two largest democracies of the world.
Along with nearly two dozen top Indian American officials of his Administration, President Trump had invited the Indian Ambassador to the US, Navtej Singh Sarna, his wife Dr Avina Sarna, and his special assistant Pratik Mathur to be present during the White House Diwali celebrations, a rare.
"India is the world's largest democracy, and the relationship between our two countries can act as a bulwark for freedom, prosperity, and peace, Trump said.
"Modi is my friend and now her (Ivanka) friend and has great respect for India and the Indian people that I can say," said the US President as he introduced his daughter to the audience, who was present in the room.
Trump said that he is thrilled to celebrate Diwali at the White House.
"I'm honoured to host this beautiful ceremony at the White House. Very, very special people. We're gathered today to celebrate a very special holiday observed by Buddhist, Sikhs and Jains throughout the United States and around the world. Hundreds of millions of people have gathered with family and friends to light the Diya and to mark the beginning of a New year: very special new year," he said.
The first White House Diwali celebrations was held in 2003 under the then US President George W Bush, who never attended the celebrations in person. A senior administration official represented him. It was mostly held in the India Treaty Room of Executive Office Building, which is part of the White House complex.
Over the years, it is being celebrated by the Indian Americans in Pentagon and the State Department. For the past several years, Diwali is also being celebrated at the US Capitol by Rep and Senators, being hosted by India Caucus.

As we enter even deeper into this series of scholars of Adrienne series with the first and second, let's enter into this new and special scholar.
I would like to introduce probably the one scholar who has been the most present spiritually to the movement of Adrienne in the Church. Please meet this wonderful scholar, Fr. Jacques Servais, S.J.. In spiritual, academic, and ecclesial works, Fr. Servais, a Jesuit with the highest academic credentials, has grown the significance of the spirituality of Adrienne, especially for young adult men through his Casa Balthasar and his new endeavors with the Accademia Balthasar. While I have not yet met Fr. Servais in person (we came close when I visited Rome in 2005), I have met several people touched by him, such as Fr. Justin Matro, O.S.B. and Nicolas Faguer. These good men presented the goodness of Fr. Servais. I am so thankful and I know you will be when you begin to enter his scholarship and ecclesial mission. Enjoy!
Continuing from my first post in this series highlighting scholars of Adrienne, our next scholar is the important early reader and friend of Adrienne, Barbara Albrecht.
Durchblick in Texten, vol. 1 of Eine Theologie des Katholischen: Einführung in das Werk Adrienne von Speyrs. Einsiedeln: Johannes Verlag, 1972.
Darstellung, vol. 2 of Eine Theologie des Katholischen: Einführung in das Werk Adrienne von Speyrs. Einsiedeln: Johannes Verlag, 1973.
"Kirche als Geheimnis des Lebens in der Sicht Adrienne von Speyrs" Christliche Innerlichkeit 10 (1974): 31–42.
The mission of this website is dedicated to advancing the theological study of Adrienne von Speyr. As such, I am beginning a new series on highlighting the best scholars who have and who are working on understanding the world of Adrienne von Speyr. The first scholar I would like to highlight in this series is Dr. Michele Schumacher, a private docent on the theology faculty of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, who has been a regular speaker and writer for important Catholic institutions and publications in Europe and the United States.
Dr. Schumacher's most important work so far on Adrienne is her excellent study A Trinitarian Anthropology: Adrienne Von Speyr and Hans Urs Von Balthasar in Dialogue With Thomas Aquinas, published by CUA Press in 2014, and will stand for a very long time as the definitive work on Adrienne's theological anthropology. Of the many things I love about this book is the in-depth study of the intimate connections of the theologies of Adrienne and Balthasar.
As you will see below, she also has very many articles and chapters demonstrating her great accomplishments with furthering the theological study of Adrienne. Enjoy!
