Reason: The Sambhar Salt Lake, India's largest inland salt lake, a bowl shape lake encircles historical Sambhar Lake Town located 96 km south west of the city of Jaipur (Northwest India) and 64 km north east of Ajmer along National Highway 8 in Rajasthan.
Reason: The Decennial Census of India has been conducted 15 times, As of 2011. While has been conducted every 10 years, beginning in 1872, the first complete census was taken in the year 1881. Post-1949, it has been conducted by the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. All the census since 1951 is conducted under 1948 Census of India Act.
Q3. Consider the following statements regarding South Asian river dolphin.
The South Asian river dolphin is found in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan.
The Ganges river dolphin is the official animal of the Indian city of Guwahati.
Reason: The South Asian river dolphin (Platanista gangetica) is a freshwater or river dolphin found in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan which is split into two subspecies, the Ganges river dolphin and the Indus river dolphin.The Ganges river dolphin is primarily found in the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers and their tributaries in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, while the Indus river dolphin is found in the Indus River in Pakistan and its Beas and Sutlej tributaries. From the 1970s until 1998, they were regarded as separate species, however, in 1998, their classification was changed from two separate species to subspecies of a single species. The Ganges river dolphin has been recognized by the government of India as its National Aquatic Animal. The Indus river dolphin has been named as the National Mammal of Pakistan. Further, the Ganges river dolphin is the official animal of the Indian city of Guwahati.
Reason: Barren Island is an island located in the Andaman Sea, dominated by Barren Volcano, the only confirmed active volcano in South Asia. and the only active volcano along a chain of volcanoes from Sumatra to Myanmar. Along with the rest of the Andaman Islands, it is a part of the Indian Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and lies about 138 km (86 mi) northeast of the territory's capital, Port Blair.
Reason: The eastern ghats are a discontinuous range of mountains along India's eastern coast. The Eastern Ghats run from the northern Odisha through Andhra Pradesh to Tamil Nadu in the south passing some parts of Karnataka. They are eroded and cut through by the four major rivers of peninsular India, known as the Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri.The mountain ranges run parallel to the Bay of Bengal. The Deccan Plateau lies to the west of the range, between the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats. The coastal plains, including the Coromandel Coast region, lie between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. The Eastern Ghats are not as high as the Western Ghats. The Jindhagada Peak is the highest peak in eastern ghats.
Q6. Which of the following organisation gives a quality certificate for agricultural products?
Reason: AGMARK is a certification mark employed on agricultural products in India, assuring that they conform to a set of standards approved by the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection, an agency of the Government of India.
Reason: The river starts from a glacier called Gangotri Glacier, which is in the Garhwal region in the Himalayas. The Ganges flows through north India and ends at the Bay of Bengal in eastern India. Overall it flows 3,877 km making it one of the longest rivers in the world.
Q8. The River Ganga flows in which of the following states?
Reason: The river flows through the districts Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.
Reason: A judge of the Supreme Court can be removed under the Constitution only on grounds of proven misconduct or incapacity and by an order of the President of India, after a notice signed by at least 100 members of the Lok Sabha (House of the People) or 50 members of the Rajya Sabha (Council of the States) is passed by a two-third majority in each House of the Parliament.
Reason: When any of our rights are violated we can seek remedy through courts. If it is a Fundamental Right we can directly approach the Supreme Court or the High Court of a state. That is why Dr. Ambedkar called the Right to Constitutional Remedies, 'the heart and soul' of our Constitution.

WebLink Connect allows you to import Profile data for organizations and/or individuals from a Microsoft Excel file. Click here to see a list of all fields that can be created/updated through the Profile Import. Note: Make sure you have properly prepared your data before importing into WebLink Connect. Click here for details on preparing your data.
1. Go to Admin > Import Profile Data From Excel.
2. Go to the Excel Import File Path box and click the [...] button. This will take you to the Windows Explorer box and there you will navigate to wherever you saved your Excel file.
3. Select the file and click Open.
4. By default, all of the column headers are named exactly as our template file is labeled. If you have changed any of the column header names in the spreadsheet, update those column header names in the appropriate field. While you may rename columns in your spreadsheet, you may NOT include extra columns other than additional AffCode columns. Click here for details on what data can be imported.
5. If the individual data in your spreadsheet is for the Main Contact of each organization, click the 'Add Individuals as main contact of organization' checkbox. If this box is not checked, the individuals will be related to the organization but will NOT be set as the Main Contact.
6. Set the Profile Relation Types you would like to set for the relationship between the Organization and Main Contact. Usually Employer is set in the top box.
7. Decide if you want to import the new profiles as members, prospects or neither and click the appropriate check box. Note: Since you can only identify the Profiles as Member, Prospect or neither, and not a combination of these, make sure you are only importing like groups at one time.
8. If your file includes affiliation code values in one or more columns, check the box "Import Affiliation Code Value from Excel File." Note that all values in the AffCode columns MUST match an Affiliation Code already in your database exactly.
*Best practice: if you do not import data regularly, you may want to create an affiliation code specifically for flagging profiles brought in during this import and assign that code in the AffCode1 column to all rows.
9. Once you are satisfied you have all the fields mapped and settings configured, click the second tab at the top, Data to Import.
10. When validating the data, the Import will check for an exact match between the Organization Name and/or First and Last Name of your spreadsheet and the data in your database, as well as an exact match on Email address. If you would also like the Import to check for an exact match on Address, check "Include Address Fields in Duplicate Checking." Then click Step 1: Validate and Check for Duplicates.
11. If there are problems with your data (invalid columns, incorrect affiliation codes, etc.), you will immediately receive a message telling you what the validation issue is. If all is well, the duplicate check process will begin automatically. If there are no validation issues OR duplicates, you will be notified and asked to confirm that you would like to begin the import. Click here for more details.
12. The system will display a list of all potential duplicate profiles from the rows in your Excel spreadsheet. You will have the option to either override the existing duplicate profile, create a new profile, or skip the row in the Excel file completely. Click here for more details on the duplicate checker.
13. If you are satisfied with the data, then click the Step 2: Import button. NOTE: This cannot be undone! Once the profiles are imported, they can only be deleted manually, one at a time.
14. The import runs as an offline process, and you can continue working in WebLink while the import runs. When the import is complete, you will receive an email indicating the results of the import.
Can you import individuals only without creating an organization?
Hi Amy, yes you sure can! Just don't fill in any of the organization columns. Check the checkbox "Individual Profile is the Member/Prospect" if you are setting the imported profiles as either a member or prospect, or if you want an affiliation code to be appended to the individual (as opposed to any organizations you may have for some rows).
How can I import individuals to existing organizations?
This is possible, but you will need to "touch" each row that has an existing organization to tell the system to use the existing org profile. In your Excel file, make sure you include the Organization name for each new individual, with either blank or current contact info for the organization. If you have multiple individuals from the same organization, that's fine, but be sure to include the organization info on each one of those rows.
After validation, you'll see a list of all of the "duplicates" that the system has found, for all of your organizations. You'll need to go down that list and select the existing organization profile for each row, otherwise a duplicate organization profile will be imported.
You can then run the import, and the individuals will be added to the existing organizations you've chosen to "override" in the import.
I exported our member data from WebLink to Excel. Changes to phone numbers, addresses, etc were made in Excel. Is it possible to upload the updated Excel file into WebLink and have the profiles in WebLink Profiles updated ?

Read alouds can do so much for our students. They can listen to fluent reading, learn about new authors, hear our thinking about vocabulary, character development, plot, and more. So which books make the best read alouds? Well, today, I will be linking up with Tara at Looney's Lit Blog to share a few of my favorites in her Wild about Read Alouds link up.
Ironically, the theme in my room this year is Wild About Reading. Much of my room will include animal print decorations, a themed reading nook, and we'll be using our SAFARI notebooks (Students and Families Are Responsible and Informed) to keep us organized. I am definitely wild about welcoming my students to a fun room and keeping them organized to be successful readers. I am also Wild about Reading!
So who should be Wild About Read Alouds? Everyone...teachers and parents! Why use read alouds? Well, for starters, we model fluent reading. It gives our students an opportunity to hear what good reading sounds like. When you're reading read alouds, talk about the importance of phrasing, expression, and rate (we slow down for important parts and speed up for less important parts).
Another reason for using read alouds is to model comprehension skills. Some books lend themselves well to specific skills. If you look under the Reading Comprehension or Mentor Text tabs of my blog, you can find a listing of recommended books and the skills they work well for.
In addition to comprehension skills, read alouds provide an opportunity for stretching our students thinking to build schema and prepare the students to read books that are currently too hard later. They also can provide another exposure to information students may be studying in science and social studies. Read alouds should be just above what our students can read with support.
Finally, read alouds (or mentor texts) showcase writing traits that we want our students to imitate. For recommended read alouds by writing trait, go to the Writing tab to the left of my blog.
So what books am I wild about? Well, it depends upon the age of the class. For first grade, I recently came across Brian Lies' Bat series including Bats at the Beach, Bats at the Library, and Bats at the Ballgame. I love the playful language Lies uses. Children at this age love rhyme, and they're curious about bats. I love pairing fiction and nonfiction, so you could share these and move into researching bats with nonfiction titles.
Another favorite for first is Karma Wilson's Bear series. I love how she weaves into the story juicy words. She doesn't flood students with too many but includes maybe 6-8 in the book. I love the themes of this series too...friendship, dealing with sickness and greed. I have done reading units on this series. If you're a first-grade teacher, you might check them out. The activities included are great for modeling comprehension skills for your students. The materials would work well in print or projected on a smartboard. Like the Bat books, the bear books could lead to nonfiction about bears too.
Moving on to second grade. In second, students are beginning to transition into beginning chapter books, but personally, I think it's important to not jump into chapter books so quickly ourselves. Author studies in second grade are just so fun! Favorite second-grade authors?...Eric Carle, Kevin Henkes, Cynthia Rylant, Arnold Lobel, Mem Fox, and Leo Lionni. Since many of the books these authors write are within the range of a second grader, it works well to choose one or two books by the author as a read aloud for modeling strategies, and then use the rest for skill practice skills in guided reading groups. The authors I have done materials for can be accessed by clicking the author name above which will take you to the materials.
Students in third through fifth are becoming more independent in their reading. They're able to read silently, and oral fluency is really picking up speed. From the reading perspective, the read alouds help polish phrasing and expression. Again, the goal with read alouds can be to extend content area information, expose the students to authors whose books they should consider reading, for skill modeling, and for writer's craft. Here are a few ideas for each grade.
Jan Brett's books are written between a 3rd and 4th grade level. They work well as read alouds for younger grades as well. The comprehension skills included in this bundle are geared more to 3rd/4th grades, but could also be used for skill modeling. Although Jan Brett is typically thought of as a "winter author", she does have a quite a few books for any time of year. Certainly, she's one author every child should love.
Patricia Polacco is another favorite. I've mentioned before, but the fact that she did not learn to read until she was in her teens and was able to overcome such challenges to publish these amazing books is such an inspiration to children everywhere who face learning struggles. This author study bundle includes unit materials for thirteen different titles. If you need other options in the upper grades, be sure to check out books by William Steig, Patricia Maclachlan, and Tomie dePaola too.
For chapter book read aloud, I'm a huge fan of Kate diCamillo's Because of Winn Dixie and the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Roald Dahl is another that fully captures readers. James and the Giant Peach includes amazing vocabulary and is the perfect choice to highlight word choice and writer's craft. The Brian Series (Hatchet, Brian's Winter, Brian's Return) certainly are page-turners whether the reader is a boy or a girl. Gary Paulsen's story is also very interesting to research. I met him at the VSRA conference the year before last, and what a treat that was! If you want to hook boys into reading, his books are a great choice to read aloud. Wow, there are just too many to highlight! What are your favorites? Share your comments below.
Oh I found it on TPTs...can't take credit. I was amazed at how many animal print materials I could find. I can't wait to decorate my room this year because of it. I was in yesterday, and a wooden stool was left in the "don't need it anymore" area, so I snagged it and am going to paint it up for my sharing chair. I will post about that on another day.
Great post! I'm definitely going to check out your recommended read alouds for specific skills!
I shared ideas from others...can't take credit, but definitely a great listing. I just saw a linky about mentor texts you might check out. The blog required the title of book, skill purpose, and materials.
Wow! Thanks for sharing! Love the theme for your class this year!
Hoping to get in and get started putting it together next week. I arranged some furniture, but that's about it. So much more to do. Oh well...it'll get done.

The Colombo Declaration : "10 Years is Enough-No Deal at the WTO Hong Kong Ministerial Meeting!"
mabini / June 22, 2005
Declaration of the Organizations, Movements and Individuals Gathered for the Asian Strategy Meeting on the World Trade Organization, Colombo, Sri Lanka, June 6-7, 2005
From December 13 to 18, 2005, the World Trade Organization's Sixth Ministerial Meeting will take place in Hong Kong. This event will have massive consequences. Either the WTO finally gets consolidated as the prime mechanism of global trade liberalization, or it unravels a third time, possibly crippling permanently its usefulness as an institution for the promotion of the interests of Northern transnational corporations (TNCs).
Dismal Decade
That the WTO is suffering a deep crisis of legitimacy and credibility as it marks its 10th year of existence comes as no surprise to us in Asia. When it was founded in 1995, it was sold to developing and least developed countries as an institution that would bring about growth, reduce global poverty, and decrease income inequality by expanding free trade. A decade later, the evidence is undeniable that the WTO has brought about exactly the opposite effects.
– The Agreement on Agriculture (AOA) has proved to be nothing but a gigantic dumping mechanism for cheap subsidized grain and foodstuffs from the United States and the European Union on the agricultural markets of developing and least developed countries', destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of farmers and agricultural workers and provoking the suicide of many of them and their dependents.
– The Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) Agreement has functioned to rob our communities of their collective right to resources, seeds, indigenous knowledge and even life itself, and to thwart development by allowing transnational corporations to monopolize technological innovations throughout the whole range of industries. It has seriously undermined people's food sovereignty. By putting corporate profits above public health concerns, TRIPs has facilitated a public health crisis in the form of HIV-AIDS that has drastically setback many parts of Asia as well as Africa.
– The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), with its central principle of "national treatment" providing foreign investors equal rights as national actors, is proving to be an extraordinarily powerful tool for TNC entry into and control of the service sector. This situation is particularly acute for developing and least developed countries which accounts for more than 50% of their gross domestic product. Especially threatened are water, electricity, telecommunications, health, educational and other essential services that necessitate public generation and delivery systems in order to assure all citizens equitable access to them. GATS will lead to the shrinking of the public sector, threatening national sovereignty and provoking serious social unrest.
Although it claims to provide potential benefits to LDCs, the GATS Mode 4 (the movement of natural persons) carries a big risk of allowing big business control of the movement of people, resulting in the trampling of the rights of migrant workers.
.WTO-mandated liberalization and WTO-sanctioned dumping have resulted in job losses and welfare erosion across the board, but the brunt of their negative impacts have fallen on women, who make up more than half of the work force in agriculture, industry, and services in many countries but receive lower remuneration, are subjected to worse working conditions, are less protected by labor and human rights codes, and face greater job insecurity than men. Indeed large numbers experience outright exclusion from the labor force, leading to the forced-migration of many. Privatization of basic services also increases the burden of social reproduction for women.
WTO rules also accelerate the marginalization of already vulnerable groups such as dalits and indigenous people who now comprise a significant number of the poor and hungry.
The Anti-Development July Framework Agreement
In a stupendous display of cynicism, the trade superpowers have labeled the current round of trade negotiations the "Doha Development Round." Yet there is nothing in the Doha Agenda that promotes development. In fact, everything in the so-called "July Framework Agreement" that serves as the basic text to conclude the current round is profoundly anti-development:
– The framework on agriculture is designed to maintain or expand such mechanisms of massive subsidization for Northern agricultural interest such as the "Green Box" or the "Blue Box" while demanding market access to Southern agricultural markets through a new round of steep tariffs cuts, if not outright elimination of tariffs.
– The framework for non-agricultural market access (NAMA) aims to radically bring down and bind industrial and manufacturing tariffs to allow TNC products to flood Southern markets, resulting in unemployment and contractualization, as well a
s deindustrialization and the inability of developing and least developed countries to use trade policy as an instrument of industrialization. It will also result in greater hardship for already suffering fisherfolk, particularly those in tsunami-ravaged countries, whose livelihoods will be further eroded by NAMA's proposed liberalization of fisheries.
– The July Framework relegates to the backburner the principal concerns of developing and least developed countries, which are development, the institutionalization of Special and Differential Treatment and addressing problems associated with the high cost of implementing previous liberalization commitments,
People's Resistance and Corporate Response
Not surprisingly, the pro-corporate agenda of the WTO has provoked massive resistance over the last 10 years. In Seattle in December 1999, the combination of the refusal of developing and least developed countries to rubberstamp a new round of liberalization and massive anti-WTO mobilization by global civil society brought about the collapse of the third ministerial meeting. In Cancun in September 2003, resistance by developing and least developed countries organized into the G-20, G-33, and G-90, where the least developed countries played a critical leadership role, combined with civil society demonstrations and actions inside and outside the Cancun Convention Center that led to the collapse of the fifth ministerial.
To salvage the WTO as an instrument of the TNC agenda, the United States and the European Union successfully mounted an institutional coup in July 2004 wherein the WTO General Council came out with a decree that could only legally be issued by a full ministerial meeting: the now notorious July Framework Agreement. This maneuver, however, could only succeed owing to the cooptation of G 20 leaders Brazil and India as full negotiating partners in the so-called Five Interested Parties (FIPs), with the EU and US designating them to "represent" the South. Once again, the big Northern powers deployed divide-and-rule against the South; once again they succeeded. Once again, the Northern elites stoked the ambitions of their Southern counterparts; once again they succeeded in turning them against their people.
Nonetheless, the resort to threat, deception, and cooptation underlines the fact that developing and least developed countries have lost all faith in the possibility of reforming the WTO so that extraordinary methods must be used to bring them on board.
Why No-Deal-in-Hong Kong is the only Viable Strategy
With nothing to gain and everything to lose by agreeing to the July Framework, the developing and least developed countries must resolutely stand their ground and refuse to make the latest concessions demanded by the big trading powers. Global civil society must consistently pressure the governments of the South to reinforce their determination and force them back into line should they, like the governing elites of Brazil and India, falter. In this connection, we demand that governments put the interests of people above that of transnational corporations.
By refusing to give their consent to the pro-TNC agenda in each of the key negotiating areas in the negotiations leading up to the Hong Kong meeting and during the Ministerial itself, the developing country governments have it in their power to stalemate the latest liberalization offensive. This strategy would, of course, be tantamount to preventing a deal from being reached at the sixth ministerial, but, as in Seattle, as in Cancun, no deal is better than a bad deal.
Derailment of the sixth ministerial will not end the threat of free trade to the developing and least developed countries. They will still have to contend with bilateral trade and multilateral trade agreements—the so-called WTO plus agreements—pushed by the US, EU, and Japan. Nevertheless, given the WTO's centrality in the TNC agenda, a failed ministerial could help bring about a new global power equation marked by more favorable conditions for the achievement of what we consider to be strategic prerequisites for the success of pro-people sustainable development:
– the expulsion of the WTO from the domains of agriculture and fisheries, services and intellectual property rights;
– frustration of the WTO's aim to de-industrialize the developing countries and least developed countries and make them captive markets for the TNCs;
– and the creation of a trade regime that genuinely promotes pro-people and rights-based sustainable development
In conclusion, we declare our solidarity with peoples and communities fighting back against the WTO and bilateral, regional and multilateral free trade agreements in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other parts of the world.
We call all to participate in activities taking place within the next few months aimed at preventing a deal from being reached at the Hong Kong Ministerial, be these lobbying activities, mass mobilizations, and non-violent direct action. We also urge civil and political movements to mobilize and organize activities and actions designed to pressure national
governments to protect the peoples' interest. We urge everyone to mobilize their co-workers, families and friends and bring them to the "derail-the-ministerial" demonstrations and events in Hong Kong in mid-December. We also call on developed country governments to desist from the tactics of intimidation and, manipulation that they regularly employ in negotiations…
We, workers, organized and un-organized, peasants, dalits, indigenous peoples, fisherfolks, women, students, migrants and other marginalized communities of Asia in solidarity with other peoples of the world will stand at the forefront of the global struggle against the Hong Kong Ministerial Meeting.

What is DVD & How to Recover Data from DVD Disc?
DVD is the short name for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc, and it refers to a storage media that can store a large amount of data accessible through a compact disk drive. As of today, DVDs are widely used to store data, movies, and other contents. A typical DVD has a storage capacity of 4.7 GB, other DVDs such as double layer discs can hold data between 8.5 – 8.7GB. To write data to a DVD, one needs a DVD writing a program and a DVD writing drive.
In most parts of the world, DVDs are still popular and are used as the most reliable way of storing data and information. In the US, Europe and Canada, DVDs are becoming less popular due to the advancement of technologies such as Blu-Ray discs and movie streaming services like Netflix. Over the past few years, the sale of DVDs has declined in most developed countries as users turn into other better storage media devices such as Flash drives and memory cards and external hard drives.
DVDs can be rewritten with new data on several multiple times. However, some data burning methods and writing programs may write or burn files to a DVD permanently. After saving files on a DVD for permanent use, one cannot erase that data or retrieve previously deleted data with any data recovery program.
Most DVD file recovery software tends to claim that they can recover deleted files on DVD which is quite impossible. The only way you can recover files from a failing or scratched DVD is backing up files with data backup management software.
Disk Drill provides you with a backup solution for all retrieved data from a DVD. Once you have copied files from a scratched DVD, you can save them on your PC hard drive and use Disk Drill special recovery features such "Guaranteed Recovery and Recovery Vault" to backup data. These data protection features are available for Disk Drill free version users.
If you have a damaged DVD that has some scratches, try to copy files to your PC drive using various data transfer programs.
After copying DVD files, save the data in a folder and keep details of the drive name or partition letter.
Download Disk Drill Full version for Windows or Mac OS X, depending on your PC OS platform and install the DVD data recovery software on your PC.
Launch Disk Drill on your PC.
Disk Drill will display all drives connected to your PC. Locate the "Recovery Vault and Guaranteed Recovery" options and activate them.
When you accidentally delete you backup DVD data, this features will help you retrieve the DVD deleted files from your PC hard drive.


We have listened to some of the complaints and have decided to add to the list of prizes a Fat Pack of Dark Ascension. This will be given away in a random drawing for everyone that enters. Remember all entries need to be made by February 10th. The drawing will be made at the end of the contest and those who did not win either the Booster Box or Custom Playmat will be entered. And we will still be sending out a Free Pack to everyone who receives at least 250 views.
Thanks everyone for your business and helping us grow!

SVG: 1.3 Billion dollar estimates for 2022
By Admin. Updated 9:33 p.m., Monday, December 13, 2021, Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4).
The Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for the 2020 fiscal year were presented in the House of Assembly today (December 13) by Finance Minister, Camillo Gonsalves.
The Estimates amount to one billion, three hundred and twenty nine million, three hundred and forty thousand, eight hundred and sixty dollars.
This figure represents a 9.6 percent increase over the approved budget for 2021. The approved budget for 2021 does not include the subsequent volcano-approved appropriations. Mr. Gonsalves said in Parliament.
For the 2022 estimates, recurrent expenditure, inclusive of amortization and sinking fund contributions amount to nine hundred and thirty one million, eight hundred and seventy six thousand, six hundred and sixty dollars.
Capital expenditure is estimated at three hundred and ninety seven million, four hundred sixty three thousand, eight hundred and sixty dollars.
Financing for the 2022 budget is expected to come from current revenue of six hundred and seventy seven million, five hundred and eighty six thousand dollars, and capital receipts totaling six hundred and fifty one million, eight hundred and thirty two thousand, eight hundred and sixty dollars.
The Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure are laid before the House before the Appropriations Bill for any fiscal year is debating in Parliament. The 2022 Appropriations Bill, known as the National Budget will be debated in January, 2022.

SCOTUS' Meaningless Ruling on Recess Appointments
By Jim Newell, Salon
SEE ALSO: High Court Rebukes Obama on Recess Appointments
The Court ruled that President Obama's recess appointments were illegal. Here's why they're too late
his morning the Supreme Court ruled to limit the president's recess appointment powers — but not eliminate them. It upholds a lower court ruling that several recess appointments President Obama made in early 2012 to the National Labor Relations Board were illegal. It does not, however, conclude that the recess appointment power is a thing of the past and should mostly be discarded, as the lower court previously had.
The good thing for the Obama administration, at least, is that in practical terms, today's ruling no longer really matters. That's because the Senate majority has since eliminated the filibuster on executive and judicial appointments that was the cause of this whole mess to begin with.
The ruling — in which the Court considered the recess appointments clause for the "first time" — held that "The Recess Appointments Clause empowers the President to fill any existing vacancy during any recess—intra-session or intersession—of sufficient length." It defines "intra-session" recess as "breaks in the midst of a formal session" and "intersession" as "breaks between formal sessions of the Senate." So the president, according to the majority opinion, still holds the power to make recess appointments to vacancies when the Senate is either taking a break between sessions or taking time off during a session.
Where the court found issue with President Obama's 2012 appointments was the lack of "sufficient length," (three days, in this case) of the intra-session recess in which the appointments were made. The period in question — January 3-6, 2012 — came between so-called pro forma sessions of the Senate. Most senators were away on holiday break, but someone stuck around to gavel the Senate into session. The Obama administration argued that those pro forma sessions didn't really count as the Senate being in session, since they effectively only existed to prevent Obama from making recess appointments. The majority opinion, written by Justice Breyer, doesn't buy that argument. "The Senate is in session when it says that it is," Breyer writes, "provided that, under its own rules, it retains the capacity to transact Senate business." And so:
Because the Senate was in session during its pro forma sessions, the President made the recess appointments at issue during a 3-day recess. Three days is too short a time to bring a recess within the scope of the Clause, so the President lacked the authority to make those appointments.
Okey doke. Three days, not enough, looks like the President is trying to bypass the Senate's advise and consent role, got it.
What the Obama administration was trying to do, more broadly, was force a nasty new political reality to a conclusion. Senate Republicans were filibustering nominees, and gaveling in pro-forma sessions to prevent recess appointments of them, not because they had specific problems with those nominees. It was because they didn't, and still don't, believe in the very function of the NLRB, and would rather leave vacancies there vacant indefinitely. This was no way for a government to be run, so the Obama administration deemed that those pro forma sessions didn't really count as the Senate being in session; Republicans were just acting in bad faith to stymie President Obama and Senate Democrats. The Courts officially disagree.
This whole legal battle, though, could have been avoided had Senate Democrats done what they eventually did to solve the problem, but earlier: eliminate the filibuster on judicial and executive branch nominees, and then not worry about what does and doesn't count as a recess appointment.
After the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year that the NLRB appointments were illegal, President Obama renominated appointees to fill those slots and submitted them to the Senate. What happened? Senate Republicans filibustered them forever, of course. Eventually, Senate majority leader Harry Reid got fed up and triggered the "nuclear option": a Senate rules change that would require only 50 votes, instead of 60, to invoke cloture on executive and judicial nominations. The NLRB nominees, and several others that had been held up, made their way through.
Had Reid gone ahead and invoked the "nuclear option" earlier, President Obama never would have had to make those legally dicey recess appointments, and this issue never would've made it to the courts. But, hey, he eventually did. So today's ruling, in practical terms, isn't that big of a blow to the presidency.

Virginia Tech football: Justin Fuente discussed several topics at the ACC Kickoff
Fuente talked new facilities, Devon Hunter, Justin Hamilton and more.
By Bryan D. Manning@BryanDManning Jul 22, 2021, 11:56pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Virginia Tech football: Justin Fuente discussed several topics at the ACC Kickoff
Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports
Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente spoke at this week's ACC Kickoff in Charlotte and expressed excitement about the upcoming season.
Fuente also talked about several other topics, such as position changes. The head coach talked about redshirt freshman Wilfried Pene moving to defensive end, which we discussed earlier this week. Another freshman is on the move, as Jack Hollifield — Dax's little brother — is now an offensive lineman, specifically at center.
Pene's move to defensive end is almost out of necessity, although coaches were intrigued with him there earlier this year. Depth could be an issue at both defensive end and defensive tackle after the recent departures of Alec Bryant and Robert Wooten.
Another player fans are excited about is freshman Keli Lawson. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound athlete from Sherando High in Stephens City will begin his career at wide receiver.
"We can see that there's something there. He's a long kid that's athletic, but what is he? What he's going to play?" Fuente said, per Andy Bitter of The Athletic. "I told the staff, we will offer him and figure it out.
Fuente noted how he watched some basketball film of Lawson and just had to try him at wideout first.
Another topic of discussion was safety Devon Hunter. Hunter, who was suspended last season, is back this fall competing at safety.
"I feel like I have a really good handle on Devon Hunter's character from what I've seen from him every single day for whatever it is, the last three or four years," Fuente said.
It truly does speak of what Fuente thinks of Hunter because he has had a zero-tolerance policy with some off-field issues in the past.
Fuente also spoke about NIL (name, image, likeness).
Fuente thinks the #Hokies are uniquely positioned in this era of NIL: "We are the No. 1 sports brand in the commonwealth of Virginia."
— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) July 21, 2021
While I am certain Virginia fans would have an issue with Fuente's statement, football is always king, regardless of a team's record.
It was refreshing to get some answers from Fuente after what seemed like a long offseason. James Mitchell, Braxton Burmeister and Chamarri Conner also spoke to the media at the ACC Kickoff.

Swoon-worthy novels that will make you fall in love with love all over again.
Take a break from planning your wedding—on the beach, by the pool, snuggled beside your sweetie—and remind yourself what the celebration is all about. These classic (and classic-in-the-making) love stories, hand-picked by Entomology of a Bookworm's Kerry McHugh, are full of romance from beginning to happily ever after. If you haven't read them yet, well, what are you waiting for?
Considered by many to be the Latin American author's greatest work, One Hundred Years of Solitude packs seven—yes, seven!—generations of family stories into one beautiful, inspiring novel full of powerful matriarchs and many a romance.
Sullivan's novel weaves together the stories of four unique marriages with the life of Frances Gerety, the (real-life) advertising woman behind the now-famous tagline "A Diamond Is Forever." Through multiple lenses, The Engagements explores the ups and downs and ins and outs of marriage, in all its many variations and across the generations.
Poor Jane Eyre is faced with one challenge after the next, but her determination keeps her trucking along until she gets the happy ending she deserves. If you're already more than familiar with Jane's trials and tribulations, consider Re Jane, by Patricia Park, a modern retelling that takes inspiration from Brontë's original story but updates it in surprising ways. Both old and new are tributes to the importance of staying true to one's self in the search for love.
The Melville House edition of Morley's 1917 novella is compact enough to fit in the pocket of any bag, making it the perfect lightweight on-the-go companion. Don't let its small size deceive you, though: the story of a traveling bookseller and the unexpected love he finds when selling his bookmobile packs a big heart.
Ifemelu leaves Nigeria, and her first love, Obinze, to go to college in America. In her years abroad, she learns about how to cope with the struggles of immigrant life and what it means to be black for the first time. But above all, she learns how love can be tested but still endure across thousands of miles and decades of time. While the subject matter may seem heavy, Adichie's novel is so engaging that you won't be able to put it down until you find out whether or not the two young lovers find their way back to each other.
Published in 1908, Forster's novel centers on young Lucy, who is touring Italy with a chaperone in order to see the world. As she falls in love, gets engaged, and travels from Florence to Rome, readers are treated to a will-she-won't-she romance that is at once heartfelt and humorous. It reads like a turn-of-the-century romcom, complete with absurd coincidences and biting humor.
Mitchell's epic story of the South before, during, and after the Civil War has been hailed by some as the greatest love story of all time—and rightly so. Though tinged with heartbreak and heartache, the romance between Scarlett and Rhett may be one of the most powerful of its kind.
The Red Notebook recounts the missed-connection love story of Laurent Letellier, a Parisian bookseller who finds a woman's purse on the sidewalk and is determined to return it to its owner. What starts as a good neighborly deed turns into something more as Laurent reads the small red notebook he finds in the purse and is desperate to meet the purse's owner. The novella, translated from the original French, is clever and charming and a delight to devour.
If you haven't read Little Women since childhood, it's time to revisit it as an adult. The story of four sisters explores the strength of family bonds and friendship and romantic love—there's more than one marriage in the mix. The combination of a good story and a heavy dose of nostalgia will sweep you up in the lives of the March sisters.
If you're the type to pack War and Peace in your tote, Middlemarch may just be the challenge for you. Eliot's novel weighs in at over 800 pages, but it's well worth the effort if you're willing to stick with it. The novel explores the female identity and the subject of marriage in particular, and its mix of good and bad unions provides both entertainment and education alike. Bonus: If you love the novel, or love the idea that novels can be powerful forces in our lives, consider picking up My Life in Middlemarch by Rebecca Mead as a second course.


I first featured this singer a few months ago, during MMI podcast 215. I said that the sort of things she was up to made her one to watch in the coming months…and here we are again. It feels like she's on a journey of self-discovery or something like that. I'm sure that her best work is still ahead of her but its not surprising that she has been nominated for Best New Artist and Best Female Artist in this year's MMA. I wonder how she'll do on the MMI Listeners' Picks poll, when voting opens on that via Facebook in a couple of weeks time.
The CD album Ommi was one of the most underrated music releases from Malta last year. I'm thankful to its executive producer, Steve Borg, for sending me a copy of this album, featuring some of the best romantic poems in the Maltese language, which have been set to music by Dominic Galea. I don't doubt that in years to come, this will be seen as Doreen Galea's best work ever.
Last March, Vince Fabri turned 50. To celebrate this milestone in his life, he presented a live (semi-private) concert of his songs at the MITP. We met casually this summer, as we always do whenever I visit Malta, and he promised to send me a recording from that night, but I forgot to remind him so I remain with it. Fortunately he has apparently uploaded several songs for what appears to be that show to Reverbnation and a couple of other places online. I hope he'll read this and take it as a reminder to send me the entire recording from that 50th birthday concert, or perhaps he'll uploaded it to the M3P.
Chris Farrugia has been active for a whole decade in the Maltese live electronica scene so I'm a little surprised that this is the first time I've really heard of him. He tagged me on a video for this track, which he uploaded to Facebook a few days ago. I hate it when people tag me on their uploaded videos or pictures when I'm not really in them. However, I'm glad that I discovered Chris Radium this way. I guess that every cloud really has a silver lining.
This outstanding Maltese guitarist has been active in the local scene since the 1980s but never really received much public acclaim, for one reason or another. I was mighty pleased when I discovered that he is not only uploading video clips of himself playing some cool covers on his guitars, but also a small number of original tunes, which also appear on the OurStage website. In the new age of easy access to self-publishing, people like Eugene Baldacchino are finally beginning to reach the audiences they've always deserved.

Who Knew? Simplicity is Hip
In just the past few weeks, publications ranging from the New York Times, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal have published major stories on simplicity — and in the case of the Times, it was a review of not one but two books on the subject, Simple and Simpler.
Even the new Pope is renowned for his simplicity, right down to his name.
Naturally, this new interest in simplicity caught our attention.
And it isn't just in the sense of a Thoreauesque lifestyle change, or like a Williams-Sonoma "Agrarian" catalog, where a "simple" lifestyle can cost thousands of dollars. We're talking actual business benefits, such as refraining from inundating consumers with choices. "We found that the single biggest driver of "stickiness" — customers' likelihood of following through on a purchase, buying the product again, and recommending it — was, by far, 'decision simplicity,' the ease with which consumers can gather trustworthy information about a product and confidently and efficiently navigate their purchase options," wrote Karen Freeman, Patrick Spenner and Anna Bird in the Harvard Business Review last spring.
"Smart firms make simplicity a goal in itself," writes Mitchell Osak in the Financial Post. "For many enterprises of any size, increasing simplicity is the new black." And that's black, not ebony, onyx, charcoal, outer space, black bean, black olive, jet, or licorice.
Not to say this is easy. "Complexity is the coward's way out," write Alan Siegel and Irene Etzcorn, authors of Simple: Conquering the Crisis of Complexity, one of the books reviewed by the Times.. "But there is nothing simple about simplicity, and achieving it requires following three major principles: empathizing (by perceiving others' needs and expectations), distilling (by reducing to its essence the substance of one's offer) and clarifying (by making the offering easier to understand or use)." Siegel is also the CEO of Siegelvision, a brand-identity consultancy, and is the chairman emeritus of Siegel+Gale, a brand-strategy firm where Etzkorn is an executive director, and which publishes a blog on simplicity.
The computer industry is not immune to this focus on simplicity. "Complexity is slow, expensive and not secure," writes Kim Nash in CIO in an article about how GE, among other companies, is focusing on simplicity. "If systems are difficult to use, employees get flummoxed, wasting work time searching for functions or waiting for help. Multiply that lost time by thousands of employees, and entire companies slow down. When a new business opportunity or a chance to beat a competitor comes along, you can't move fast enough or don't have the funds to invest."
Moreover, writes Ron Miller in CITEworld, the recent decrease in PC sales and the rise of smartphones could be due to the latter's emphasis on small, simple apps that have just a few functions, compared with everything-but-the-kitchen-sink apps that may do everything — if you could just figure out how. (Though, as the Wall Street Journal points out, that adds its own complexity — 800,000 apps in Apple's App Store alone.) "There's been a fundamental shift in user expectations, bordering on a sense of entitlement — all driven by the simplicity of using little granular apps on mobile devices," he writes.

George RR Martin is working on new Game of Thrones book while social distancing
By Rick Marshall	 April 16, 2020
Much of Hollywood is in a holding pattern due to the coronavirus pandemic, but A Song of Ice and Fire author George RR Martin appears to be keeping busy.
The acclaimed writer offered an update on The Winds of Winter, the upcoming sixth novel in the fantasy series that inspired the TV hit Game of Thrones, as well as House of the Dragon, the prequel series set in the same world as the HBO show.
Posting from isolation on his website, Martin indicated that his work on the long-awaited Winds of Winter continues, but there's still no official word on when fans can expect to see the book finally published.
"I have good days and bad days, but I am making progress," he wrote.
As for House of the Dragon, Martin reported that work also continues on the HBO prequel series, which is set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones during the height of the Targaryen dynasty. While social-distancing requirements have put a hold on any filming for the series, Martin indicated that "development is continuing apace, since writers can still write at home."
The update suggests that the scripts for House of the Dragon are getting quite a bit of attention from Martin — who serves as the show's co-creator and executive producer — and co-creator Ryan Condal, the series' showrunner and head writer.
"I do know that Ryan Condal and his team are roaring ahead on the scripts for House of the Dragon, and that one has a full season's order from HBO," wrote Martin.
Martin also confirmed he's still working on several other movie and TV projects as a producer — not writer — but declined to identify any of them or indicate whether they're also tied to the universe of A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones.
"When and if any of these make it to the screen, well, that's always the question," he wrote.
While there's no official publication date set for The Winds of Winter, HBO previously indicated that House of the Dragon will premiere in 2022. Whether social-distancing practices and the global pandemic will force that date to be pushed back remains to be seen, but the fact that the show has received a full-season order suggests it will eventually make it to fans' screens.
Beyond that, it's still a waiting game for fans.

Sielsowiet Gierszony (biał. Гяршонскі сельсавет, hiarszonski s., ros. Гершонский сельсовет, gierszonskij s.) – dawny sielsowiet na Białorusi w obwodzie brzeskim, w środkowo-zachodniej części rejonu brzeskiego (na południe od Brześcia).

Centrum sielsowietu były Gierszony. Jednostka podziału administracyjnego znajdowała się przy granicy z Polską, przez co poprzez Bug graniczyła z polskimi gminami Kodeń, Terespol, leżącymi w powiecie bialskim województwa lubelskiego.

W skład sielsowietu wchodziło 8 wsi: Arkadia, Bernady, Gierszony, Kotelnia Bojarska, Mitki, Przyłuki, Stradecz, Zakazanka.

Historia
W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym większość miejscowości sielsowietu należała do gminy Kamienica Żyrowiecka lub gminy Miedna w województwie poleskim II Rzeczypospolitej.

Sielsowiet został utworzony w 1939 r. po agresji ZSRR na Polskę. W l. 1941-1944 znalazł się pod okupacją niemiecką. W 1954 r. przyłączono do sielsowietu sielsowiet pugaczowski. 21 lutego 1994 r. decyzją Komitetu Wykonawczego Brzeskiej Obwodowej Rady Delegatów ustanowiono strefę przygraniczną na terytorium sielsowietu Gierszony.

1 czerwca 2007 r. znaczną część sielsowietu (Arkadia, Bernady, Gierszony, Kotelnia Bojarska, Mitki) włączono w obręb miasta Brześć, a z pozostałych miejscowości (Przyłuki, Stradecz, Zakazanka) utworzono sielsowiet Stradecz (21 grudnia 2007).

and now you know why this card is for two challenges. Kristii used the same colors as The Play Date Cafe!
Before I share my card I have one more topic to cover. I have several followers for which I am very grateful. You guys come visit me and leave me comments and genuinely make my day a better day. I have one follower in particular who comes every day, every post and leaves me the most amazing comments. The other day her comment simply said "Kelly, you inspire me!" that one sweet comment stayed with me all day because well, it's completely awesome but because she inspires me too. So this card is for Kara Lynne. I am so grateful that you come visit and leave your fantastic comments that make little old me feel amazing. She is a wonderful crafter too! You can check out her fabulous creations here. Thank you, Kara Lynne so much for your sweetness, but more than anything thank you for inspiring me to be a better commenter, crafter, visitor, and friend!
Fairly simple card today. I loved Kristii's general layout with the pattern paper taking up 3/4 of the card along with those sweet squares for her focal point.
Thanks for stopping by! Please know that I do genuinely appreciate the time you take to leave me a comment and make my day!
Oh, I love your cas take on the case study! Great card!
WOW! How do I comment on that! I'm just reading along and there's my name! Maybe I'm a bit hormonal today, but it really brought tears to my eyes. This is a beautiful card, Kelly. I love how you blended the two tones together on the butterflies and the fluttery movement they show being stamped off the edge. I'm so humbled and honored that you dedicated it to me!
What a beautiful card for the sweet Kara Lynne! She is a true treasure! LOVE those angled stripes across the base of your card, and those individual, butterfly squares are fantastic and so full of life! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
This is beautiful! Love the design! I totally agree with everything you said about Kara Lynne too! Thanks for joining us this week at The Play Date Cafe.
What a lovely card! I think it's a perfect take on the CASE. I love how you've used our colours too. So glad you could join in the fun with us this week over at The Play Date Cafe!
Those butterflies are gorgeous! Perfect use of the colors!
wow, this is awesome, great job!
Fabulous card Kelly...Love your card and congrats on your win!
I love how you've stamped the butterflies inside the punched squares, and your coloring is fantastic! This is a beautiful, clean and simple CASE of Kristii's card. Thanks for sharing it with us at CASE Study!
Lovely coloring! And the paper you used is so pretty! Gorgeous!
Hi Kelly, still catching up on your old posts. Anyway, love this card. Hope you don't mind if I CASE it.

Q: Change delimiter for foreach in csh I have a string as follows :
set str = "HELLO SO COMMUNITY| CAN YOU HELP ME"
foreach word ($str)
    echo $word
end

Presently, this prints HELLO and then SO and then COMMUNITY and so on.
I want the delimeter for the printing to be | . SO the output should be HELLO SO COMMUNITY and then CAN YOU HELP ME. Does anyone know how to do this.

A: set str = "HELLO SO COMMUNITY| CAN YOU HELP ME"

set delimiter = '|'
set special_char = '_' # A character you know doesn't appear in your strings

set words = `echo $str | sed "s/ /$special_char/g" | sed "s/$delimiter/ /g"`
# words now contains "HELLO_SO_COMMUNITY _CAN_YOU_HELP_ME"

foreach word ($words)
    echo $word | sed "s/$special_char/ /g"
end

Replace special_char with a character that you know does not appear in your strings. Just be careful with any special characters. I'd avoid *, ?, $, \, and other tokens that might be interpreted by cshell. Rule #1 of cshell is that it always interprets them in the wrong way... :P

Description Very well done drawing of a kangaroo by the beach.
Artist Statement Most artists need an alternative source of income to supplement their artwork, and I am not exception. You can view more of my work on my casino blog, which also has much of my work.
I make my living is professional gambler, which allows me lots of free time to work on my artwork. My goal is to be able to gamble as I need to when I am in the "zone" and to draw when I want to when I am in THAT "zone". You'll notice that much of my drawings are about casino's and the casino lifestyle, which I guess serves as a surrogate for myself since I have been banned from most land casinos (for winning too much) and now spend most of my effort on online casinos, which are a bit more accommodating to folks like me.
