Q: How does Terra Nova send messages to the future? In the first episode of Terra Nova, it's mentioned that Terra Nova is able to communicate with the future.  However, it was established earlier that going through the time schism is a one-way trip, and that you go to the past of a parallel Earth.  So they shouldn't be able to send messages back through, nor can they leave time capsules with messages inside to communicate with the future.  So how are they able to send messages back to the future?

A: It's a massive plot hole.
There's no way for them to know.
Even if they did have some sort of inter-dimensional communication device that was time delivered 85 million years later -- there is no way to tell the future that was what they needed and have it sent back to Terra Nova in the first place so they can set it up.
In fact, there is no way for the future to even know where/when these probes and people are being sent.
Essentially, the first team had to have been sent over blind.  But there's no way for them to tell anyone what they found and what supplies they need because it was a one-way ticket.
So, every single transport sent over was sent over not knowing what was on the other side of the rift, if anything at all.  In fact, they can't even be sure they weren't sending these people into a rift that simply killed them.

A: There is no reason the temporal anomaly could not transmit radio waves back and forth across the cross-time region. This could potentially explain how communication is done in a fashion similar to radio transmissions across wormhole horizons in the Stargate franchise. Energy would not have the same limitations matter would have crossing between universes.

A: Please notice the way they discovered --the so called-- "Terra Nova":
First they lost the discovery satellite, then they followed up the signals and
they then determined that where their satellite landed (or crashed) was not
a different planet, but the earth in past (but in different time stream).
That means that the anomaly through which this satellite passed is
permanent, so they can track down signals from it.
In my humble opinion, that explains everything.
Also, as shown in the last episode, Mira has a communication device and she receives commands
from her peers in future.

A: The IMBD FAQ page for Terra Nova has the following -

How can the commander communicate with the alternate 2149 if it's a one way portal and in a different timeline?
According to creator Craig Silverstein, the commander can communicate with the people in 2149 only while the portal is open . Only while it is open can he order more supplies, communicate info back and forth. The main drawback with this is that if he orders medical supplies, he has to wait till the next opening to get them.

(So, does this mean the trip isn't really 'one-way'?)

A: It hasn't been described in show yet but my guess will be that they are following the same rules of Stargate in which the wormholes are one way traveling for solid objects but radio waves can travel two ways.

A: I was asking the same question too. Perhaps it could be like the time rift in Julian May's Pliocene Saga. In those books, people can pass through a rift in time to 6 million years earlier safely but they cannot return; if they stay in the time rift when it "recycles" they return to their present and take on an age of 6 million years and rematerialize as fossils or ash. Some substances like amber and platinum can be sent back without being destroyed. Perhaps this could be the same idea behind the Terra Nova portal?

A: I believe that the issue of supplies and weapons etc. could be solved via predictability. You know on one pilgrimage they send x number of people with nx supplies and weapons. And as the x increases they just send that much more supplies and weapons.

A: Don't be silly. The two parties, the future and the past can easily agree on scribbling something on some stones or, more probable, some techy solution they have in Terra Nova, and the recipients (the future) could read/watch it.
So, ask a question on a (metaphorical) stone, get a reply back with the next recruit.

A: There's no reason to assume the anomaly itself does not allow bidirectional travel.  When the portal to the past was shown in the pilot, it was in a building with two extremely large circular buildings on either side of the portal building, giving the impression it was between two cyclotrons or something similar.
There were one or two comments that indicated the original anomaly itself was small and the implication is that it takes massive amounts of energy to open the gateway so people can be sent through (and note they are sent through one at a time, indicating there are either safety issues or that the more mass that goes through, the more of a strain on the system it is).
So there's no reason to assume it takes high amounts of energy to access the anomaly, it just takes high amounts of energy to send large chunks of matter through it.  So radio waves and possibly even tiny pieces of media might be quite feasible for Terra Nova to send back to the future in the timestream from which they came.
(But that also raises the question -- just as there was originally only two stargates, but eventually it was found the original gate could access other gates, is it possible that one could access other timestreams through that same anomaly?)

Q: Convert JSON to shapefile I have a json file that contains a lot of data with polygons, lines, points. But I can't exploit it to export the data in shapefile. Can someone help me on how to get there. The data is here.
https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/produits-numeriques-en-libre-disposition/donnees-zones-geographiques-uas.html
if someone can help me solve this problem.

A: You can't export all of it to one shapefile as it is not possible to mix geometry types in a shapefile, so you will need 3 shapefiles (points, lines, polygons).
I would make use of ogr2ogr the Swiss army knife of vector formats and use something like:
ogr2ogr -nlt POINT -skipfailures points.shp geojsonfile.json
ogr2ogr -nlt LINESTRING -skipfailures linestrings.shp geojsonfile.json
ogr2ogr -nlt POLYGON -skipfailures polygons.shp geojsonfile.json

Ivan Sablin deposited Duma, yuan, and beyond: Conceptualizing parliaments and parliamentarism in and after the Russian and Qing Empires in the group ASEEES Convention on ASEEES Commons 1 year, 9 months ago
The chapter focuses on two new institutions, the State Duma (Gosudarstvennaia duma) and Political Consultative Council (Zizhengyuan), which were introduced in the Russian and Qing Empires, when the two imperial formations joined the global constitutional transformations. The names of the two bodies pointed to the statist (etatist) rather than popular connotations of the new institutions. Furthermore, the State Duma and the Zizhengyuan were often explicitly distinguished from a Western parliament, even though the latter as a generalized notion was undoubtedly the main point of reference during the attempted imperial modernizations. Seeking to expand the current debate on the conceptual history of parliamentarism by including non-European histories, this chapter charts the genealogies of the two terms and positions them in the discussions of parliamentarism during the modernizations of the Russian and Qing Empires and during the post-imperial settlements.

Climate change probably has severe impacts on animal populations, but demonstrating a causal link can be difficult because of potential influences by additional factors. Assessing global impacts of climate change effects may also be hampered by narrow taxonomic and geographical research foci. We review studies on the effects of climate change on populations of amphibians and reptiles to assess climate change effects and potential biases associated with the body of work that has been conducted within the last decade. We use data from 104 studies regarding the effect of climate on 313 species, from 464 species-study combinations. Climate change effects were reported in 65% of studies. Climate change was identified as causing population declines or range restrictions in half of the cases. The probability of identifying an effect of climate change varied among regions, taxa and research methods. Climatic effects were equally prevalent in studies exclusively investigating climate factors (more than 50% of studies) and in studies including additional factors, thus bolstering confidence in the results of studies exclusively examining effects of climate change. Our analyses reveal biases with respect to geography, taxonomy and research question, making global conclusions impossible. Additional research should focus on under-represented regions, taxa and questions. Conservation and climate policy should consider the documented harm climate change causes reptiles and amphibians.

State police arrested a woman for the murder of her husband in Burlington on Friday.
Police arrested 70-year-old Linda L. Kosuda-Bigazzi for Murder and Tampering with Evidence after police said her 84-year-old husband, Dr. Pierluigi Bigazzi was found dead in his Smith Lane home during a well-being check.
Police said caregivers found Bigazzi dead in his home on Monday which prompted a police investigation.
Shortly thereafter, police obtained an arrest warrant for Kosuda-Bigazzi for the murder of her husband.
Kosuda-Bigazzi is being held on $1.5 million bond and is expected to appear in Bristol Superior Court on Tuesday, February 13th.
A representative with the University of Connecticut confirmed to Channel 3 Eyewitness News that the late Dr. Bigazzi was a 40 year faculty member at the school who specialized om immunology research, pathology, and oncology, and recently was preparing online materials to supplement student textbooks.
The UConn School of Medicine offered a statement on Dr. Bigazzi's passing.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our longtime faculty member Dr. Pierluigi Bigazzi, professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UConn School of Medicine. After being unable to reach Bigazzi, concerned departmental leadership contacted UConn Police who visited his home. UConn Police immediately contacted the local police department who is investigating the death in collaboration with the State Police.
Police are asking those with information to come forward, particularly those who had direct contact with Dr. Bigazzi between July 2017 and February 2018, or those who performed contract work on the Smith Lane property.

Definition: BATNA is a negotiation acronym meaning: Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement.
It is the best outcome you can expect if you fail to reach an agreement at the bargaining table with your counterpart. A well-evaluated BATNA sets the threshold at which you will reject an offer. Effective negotiators should have a walkaway point that is firmly grounded in reality before talks begin.

Google engineer fired over memo hires civil rights attorney
Kia Kokalitcheva
James Damore, the former Google engineer fired over a memo he wrote criticizing the company's diversity efforts, has hired civil rights lawyer Harmeet Dhillon, she confirmed to Bloomberg. Google said he was fired for violating the company's employee code of conduct. Damore claims it was for expressing political views that differ from Google's.
Why it matters: Damore's memo set off wide backlash because of his assertions that women were biologically less inclined to pursue computer science professions and that Google doesn't tolerate conservative or minority viewpoints. Dhillon's firm is seeking other Google employees who believe they've been unfairly treated by the company, she posted on Twitter.
Dhillon was rumored to be considered by President Trump to lead the Department of Justice's Civil Rights division.
Damore has already filed a complaint to the National Labor Relations Board and has said he's exploring further legal actions.

SA Law Chambers & Partners Results 2017
Following hot on the heels of SA Law's Legal 500 results, we are delighted to announce the results of the Chambers and Partners annual UK legal sector research. Another great year for SA Law has been rewarded with rankings in five key categories, highlighting many of our experts, and some of the leading work we have undertaken over the last 12 months.
High rankings were achieved by our Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Employment, Family, Real Estate and Property Dispute resolution teams.
"It's hard not to be fascinated by legal directory results," comments Managing Partner Steve Ryan. "The test of work well done is first and foremost the results we create for clients. However, this annual research provides a feel for how our success compares to other firms. Our clients and intermediary colleagues are critical to the process through, so thank you to everyone who agreed to be interviewed by the researchers."
Here are some highlights of the 2017 Chambers & Partners coverage:
Clients appreciate the team's business-oriented and practical approach. "They are commercial, knowledgeable and client-focused," a source says, with another adding that "they are very constructive and pragmatic."
Notable practitioners
Marilyn Bell is a highly regarded practitioner, advising on both financial and children matters in separation situations. "She is very client-focused and works unbelievable hours," a source reports, further praising her as "friendly, reassuring and always calm."
Kiran Beeharry advises on divorce proceedings as well as relationship breakdown between unmarried partners. "He battled very hard on my behalf to get the best deal possible," a client says.

When is a tang too narrow or better yet why are very narrow tangs considered adequate for the job historically ?
I have the Anelace dagger from MRL, and although I am not sure how wide the tang is as I haven't tried taken it apart to see, the tang can't be very wide considering how narrow the wooden handle is.
When flexing this blade I observe that it curves in a uniform way and not at what I would expect in an exaggerated way right at the junction of blade and tang.
Now I can see that the wooden handle would stiffen the whole grip so that the tang would not bend where inside the handle: But I would assume then that the tang bending stress would be concentrated at the point the blade become very wide at the shoulders.
Now the observed bending of the blade seems to " fortunately " contradict that assumption that all the bending would occur in the tang and not in the blade ? I guess I am looking for an explanation and reassurance that these very narrow tangs if properly heat treated are not a snapping blade waiting to happen ? Design and metallurgical / engineering question.
I'm including a Pict taken from the Moat page at Albion just for illustrative purposes as I assume that this size tang is historically correct and must be similar to the size of tang in my MRL Anelace.
Generally speaking, the items in Albion's moat sale were not made by them. They were either imported from the Italian maker, Del Tin, or from India. I'm not sure if this is relavent and I certainly don't want to derail this topic. Like you, I'm very curious to read people's comments regarding tang size.
I only used this Cinquedea blade sold by Albion but made by Del tin because the tang size is close to what I expect the one in my Anelace is. The exact form might not match what a historical tang might have been like but the size has to be close.
I have noticed in some of my reference books that the narrowness of the handle of many very wide bladed daggers, Cinquedea in particular, would impose the use of only the narrowest of tangs.
No negative criticism of this product offered by Albion meant or implied: The fact that the tang of an historical piece couldn't have been much stouter lead me to believe that this size tang was in period considered O.K.
Just don't understand why / how ?
I'm making a late German rondel dagger, and have been looking very closely at the grips of those weapons. Given the conical shape of the grip (tapering from pommel down), those must have very slender tangs. The Windlass blade I'm working with, on the other hand has a very thick, broad and robust tang. Even though the wall of wood between air and tang at the base of the grip will be only about 1/8" at its thinnest, the grip at that point will still probably be of greater diameter than what I'm seeing historically.
What's really surprising is that large hole in an already thin tang ? If the whole handle assembly including the guard was solid, the two other holes meant I assume for rivets, might mean that a lot of lateral stress would be transferred to the widest part of the blade and not all concentrated on the tang.
Although I am assuming that a period piece would be a " using " piece ? Some may have been more " male " jewellery than serious weapon ? On the other hand one like this may have been sturdy enough, but without the extra beef giving it a large margin for error strength wise i.e. NOT railroad engineered to say the least.
I guess my expectations are influenced by " modern " fighthing knives " or Bowie knives that have full tangs or at least substantial tangs.
I see the same design issues in 19th century large Spanish fighting folding knive with heavy blades and tiny pivot pins.
Here is a picture of an antique Chinese sword blade and tang. For size reference, the blade is 1 1/4" wide and the tang about 6 1/2" long. It's not obvious in the picture but the tang is the same thickness as the thickest part of the blade (around 1/4") and only tapers in thickness a little over it's length.
This sword is functional (i.e., not ceremonial or decorative as many Chinese swords were in the 1800's) and has seen a lot of use. Based on what I've seen with modern reproduction swords I would have guessed this tang was way too small. However, it was judged adequate for a combat blade by the smith who forged it and has survived hitting "something" hard enough to put nicks in the hardened steel edge.
it's hard to argue with success: So a blade and tang that have seen heavy use without failure does tell us something no matter how puny it might look at a glance.
The round shoulders leading to the tang is a very good design and avoids the sudden change in width of a 90 degree corner. I can not think of a hole in the narrow tang to be something I would choose to do if I was designing a sword.
The tang I estimate from the Pict to be between 3/8" to maybe 1/2" wide and at 1/4 " thick is narrow but not the bellow 1/4" wide of a truly thin tang.
The hole that seems to be at the level of the guard shouldn't cause any weakness but the other one in the tang leaves only a 1/8" of metal on each side of the hole !
Thanks for the Pict as it does make one think.
I hope some modern sword designers of historically accurate ( Or as close as we can get them ) can give us their input.
I don't know about the size of tangs of the Next Generation Gladius ( plural ) but the one's I've vaguely remember seeing of the first generation or Del Tin ones seemed to have very narrow tang. It think the historical ones were also this narrow.
As with my original question I want to learn why what looks like feeble tangs to me, seem to be perfectly all right historically and from a structural point of view. I could also wonder if the much wider tangs i would prefer might not have negative effects on handling or handles, guards and pommel would have to be adjusted to compensate for heavier tangs.
Your post got me curious about some measurements so I broke out a ruler to get some rough estimates.
The tang at the shoulder is 1/4" thick as measured on the left side of that little white sticker. The tang is 7/16" wide about the middle of the sticker.
You can see a place near the end of the tang that looks a little different than the rest. It corresponds roughly to what I imagine the original pommel would have covered and I really don't know why it looks different. But at the point I'm talking about the tang is 1/8" thick and a little less than 3/8" wide. You were right on with your estimate of 1/8" of steel on either side of that hole.
Jian often feature a hole in the tang. I know sometimes it's used for a tassel and sometimes for a transverse pin to help fix the hilt in place. Most jian have this hole very near the end of the tang, just below the pommel. Mine is very unusual in that it has two holes, one at the blade end of the tang and one in the actual shoulder of the blade. I also remember Scott Rodell telling me that usually when a jian has a hole in the handle there is a metal tube, sort of like a rollpin (my analogy, not his), that goes completely thru the hole.
I did some asking around on the net and someone supplied me with a photo of a very crude jian with this configuration. The hole in the shoulder was used to pin the guard to the blade and the hole in the tang didn't have an obvious use but was visible.
I showed this photo to someone who specializes in restoring Chinese swords and he said that configuration was sometimes seen in crude swords and sabers made by and for farmers. He said my blade was much too well made to have originally had fittings like that so we speculated that it was possibly refitted with more crude fittings after the originals were damaged. This is pure speculation and I'm getting away from the topic at hand but it is some interesting history and gives me alot to think about.
HMMMMMMM: If that hole in the tang was made some time later to fit a replacement handle it would at least tell us that the original maker didn't choose to make it this way. It may still be strong enough but any margin for error or extra strength would be lost. If still adequate it would not be due to good design but only to dumb luck.
A solid and supportive handle assembly should also help with bending stresses mid handle: Again, as long as the tang is adequate near the blade IMHO.
Oh, and I think factors like possible modifications to a tang later in the history of a sword is very ON topic and is an important possibility to consider.
I think you are on the right track in your reasoning. As you can see in these pictures there is a very smooth transition from tang to shoulder and that area is very robust.
At the very least one wants a small radius at the junction of tang and blade: An even more gradual transition from one to the other should be at least stronger in theory.
A full tang or one an inch wide or so gives you maximum strength but might change the balance and handling.
Again I hope that some sword makers give us their opinion and experiences with different tang styles and what to would consider the absolute minimum size requirements for one to be considered adequate. Also their reactions / opinions on those small historical tangs.
If the materials or assembly is faulty due to bad welds or bad heat treating even a robust looking tang will be inferior to a weak looking puny tang.
In any case this is also a shameless " BUMP " because I want some more input by the experts.
I will say though, that a whole lot of antique weapons were kind of "dainty". What I mean is that they were obviously meant to be used with some care. An example of what I mean is a japanese sword; you have to have good technique to cut with an antique and not bend it out of shape, and I would imagine that the same general idea would be applied to these weapons as well (working within the limitations of the weapon). They were probably designedto be strong enough for whatever use they were meant for and no stronger.
There is a hiltsmith I used to make blades for, this is his method. He would bring the completed sword back to me to replish and I would take apart the sword and there would be this really scarry skinny tang. He grinds the tangs of my blades to fitt his fittings. After seeing this several times even after I asked him to just file out the slot in the guard, well he just never got it. I do like a beefy tang, which starts at the same thickness as the blade at shoulder and maybe 1" to 3/4" wide and tapering towards pommel. This is maybe overkill in some pieces. I guess some of this goes back to those years of swordfighting with steel blunts and making swords for the re-enactment folks and actors. I also aneal some of the hardness out of the tangs as well. This is for peace of mind. But, in reality a good blade with proper distal tapering and good geometry will absorb most of the shock of a blow and the hilt area receive very little effect. I think for a good cutting sword it does not have to have alot of beef if made correctly, then again the tang should help balance the sword also. Each blade must have a custom sized tang.
Thanks John for the reply: I also like a stout tang as it makes me feel better, the last place a sword should fail is at the tang and if overbuilt the blade will either take a set or snap mid blade before anything can happen at the tang.
HMMMMM: With a dagger like my MRL Anelace or the Pict of the Del Tin Cinquedia in my first post the tang is scary narrow but the distal taper of the blade making the tang thicker than the average thickness of the blade would go a long way explaining why the blade of my Anelace flexes midblade rather than at the tang: I would assume that the stress curve ( If that is the right term for it ??? ) spread the flexing over the length of the blade rather than concentrating all the force at the tang.
Now if a tang is very narrow but at the maximum thickness of blade the above is the situation.
Now if you have a tang that is thinner than the blade, even if wide, I would think there would be a good chance of the tang failing or at least bending excessively at junction of tang and blade.
The worse situation is narrow tang + thin tang, and if we want the very worse: Add bad heat treating too soft or too brittle.
[There is a hiltsmith I used to make blades for, this is his method. He would bring the completed sword back to me to replish and I would take apart the sword and there would be this really scarry skinny tang. He grinds the tangs of my blades to fitt his fittings.
That had to be extremely frustrating!
This is one of those topics were it is hard to make definitive statements that are relevant and cover the "average" for any significant time period or type of blade. The ability to find period examples of many different configurations of tang structure to support one or another theory of what the "average" period tang was like does not help the discussion much as they do not give a representative grouping and allows for "odd birds" to confuse the issue, as Patrick pointed out.
The really general comments that follow are therefore based on my own experience of originals and the details I have seen when working on historical pieces for conservation. The sample is not scientifically defined but is relatively broad in number and of a particular aspect that is often focused on by myself when looking at original pieces.
The tangs of many modern reproductions are over engineered. They carry more mass and especially in the area that passes through the pommel are more substantial than there original counterparts. The tangs that are peened over at the top of the pommel or nut are often in the 1/8 in diameter and the taper is gradual not a bit at the end. Often the tang will be in the 1/4 inch in area going into the base of the pommel. The area at the shoulders is often of the same thickness as the blade at the shoulders, sometimes even more. But it usually carries this mass for only a short way into the grip and then begins to taper. There are examples were the tang will be almost even in width through the grip but these do not seem to be the majority in my experience. I do not think the tang was used as a significant form of counter balance, but this my personal opinion and I am of the mind that the pommels main function was not so much a pure counter balance as well, so I might be prejudice against the tangs function in this department.
The tang obviously went through certain design templates over the course of its existence, but rarely do I see the tang mass seen in most replicas today repeated in the historical items. This is probably due to the market forces on modern makers as far as what the customer is comfortable with and the mechanized processes and materials used by production makers today at all quality levels of the market.
If one incorporates rapiers into the equation you get an even more pronounced tang differential in mass from the ricasso to the peen. Often the ricasso of a rapier will have a significant thickness increase from the majority of the blade but again be less than an 1/8 of an inch in cross section area being available to peen on the nut, this all in the space of 6 to 8 inches or so at most.
Anyway those are some general thoughts and any specific style will have its own peculiarities that are of interest from your "average" type X tang to smallswords.
Interesting topic! I was amazed at how small these tangs were yet they still are quite strong. This reminds me of my very first sword. A wallhanger I bought in a small fishing shop in the middle of New York. I knew VERY little about swords then, so I went out and attempted to chop down a tree. I took it out to the tree at least once a week for around a month and a half. The tang, being the smallest amount larger than your average building nail and having been welded on finally broke, yet I am still amazed at how long it held up. If that tang can last a month doing what even the highest quality swords shouldn't do, then I think these small tangs on antique daggers and such will last quite a long time.
"Tis but a scratch.....A scratch? your arm's off!"-- Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Here are some more aspects of tangs that occurred to me might be of interest.
The heat treatment of a period blade is quite a variable thing and even more so for tangs as they would often have been adjusted post heat treat, if the blade was heat treated I should add. The use of iron on the tangs as opposed to steel seems to be something that has not been studied greatly, but some evidence is there for this. All and all the tang was often soft as the material could be.
There are also many examples of the tang having been forge welded to the blade. Some times this weld is an inch or two into the blade proper other times it will be in the body of the tang under the grip. This would have been common practice in the period and another function of the period industrial organization. One needs to remember that the great majority of swords would not have been constructed by an individual. Instead several craftsman would have contributed to the final piece and these did not have to be centered in the same shop and in fact probably were not in most cases. The industrial production would have been spread out continent wide and the use of blades from different makers by furbishers would have been routine.


We've left the dry grasslands of Alameda's eastern border for the salt marshes along its western border. South San Francisco Bay is crossed by the San Mateo Bridge and today's Dumbarton Bridge along the western border of Alameda County. I'm very familiar with Dumbarton because I was one of the minions who modeled its piers for the seismic retrofit that was recently completed.
The photo above was taken from the west end of the bridge in San Mateo County. Dumbarton Bridge (35 0038) is a continuous steel box girder bridge built in 1981. It's on the south end of San Francisco Bay and it's the shortest of the Bay bridges (at 1.4 miles). Stiff piers at the ends and tall piers in the middle makes the stiffer piers carry most of the lateral load during earthquakes. Since the bridge was designed in the 1970s we originally hoped that it would be okay for earthquakes, but we ended up isolating the steel superstructure to reduce the forces to the substructure.

Bengal health depratment to roll out C-section audit at government health facilities
After a scanner on childbirth through C-section at private hospitals, the state health department has decided to roll out a C-section audit at government health facilities.
Sumati Yengkhom
Kolkata: After a scanner on childbirth through C-section at private hospitals, the state health department has decided to roll out a C-section audit at government health facilities.
Health officials said this was being done to discourage irrational C-section deliveries and improve the maternal mortality rate in Bengal.
All hospitals have been asked to record each C-section delivery and submit such an audit on a monthly basis.
"This is to curb the rising trend of C-section deliveries. While some women will need this mode of childbirth due to clinical reasons the rest should be encourage for vaginal delivery," said a health department official.
According to the circular from the health department to all MSVs of medical colleges, district CMOHs and the district family welfare officer Kolkata, Bengal is among the states that has the highest C-section rate. While the national average is 21.5% in public sector hospitals in Bengal it is 34% in the government run hospitals.
Sources in the health department said that in Kolkata itself most medical colleges about 50% of child birth is through C-section while medical colleges in districts still have it between 25 to 30%. In private healthcare units is ranges between 80% and 100%.
"In many cases it is the patient themselves who wants to go for C-section. If we start counselling the pregnant women and their families from the time of ante-natal check-ups if the pregnancy is not high risk we could bring down the number of C-section deliveries considerably. The move by the health department is a positive," said a gynaecologist with a medical college in Kolkata.
According to data from Sample Registration System Bengal's MMR has gone up to 109 per one lakh live births in 2017-2019 from 94 in 2015-2017. From 2016 to2018 it was 98.
Health experts said that while a medically justified C-section can effectively prevent maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity it can have negative impact on maternal as well as infant health in other cases. Judicious C-section delivery is also part of health ministry's LaQshya (Labour room quality improvement initiative).

I saw Tyler Florence making this on the food network and knew I had to try it. It really changed my mind about meatloaf!
Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few minutes to create a base flavor. Throw in the red peppers and cook them for a couple of minutes to soften. Stir in the parsley, ketchup, and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Simmer the relish for 5 minutes to pull all the flavors together. Remove it from the heat; you should have about 4 cups of relish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat mixture.
Wow! Thanks for the beauty flag!
If it changed your mind about Meatloaf, then I must try it too as I was getting pretty bored with it myself here lately. Saved and printed, thanks.

HomeTOURISM HUB
Ghana to Host Inter Tourism Expo 2021
Mr Mark Okreku Mantey, Deputy Minister of Tourism Arts and Culture, has pledged government's support towards the maiden edition of the Inter Tourism Expo (iNTTA2021) to be held in Ghana.
He emphasized that the contribution of the media to the revival of tourism in the COVID-19 era could not be underestimated saying: "At this time when countries are trying to revive their tourism, the media has a significant role to play."
The Expo will start from September 28 to 30, 2021 on the theme: "Optimizing Destination Ghana – Our People, brand and culture," according to a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra.
The Deputy Minister reiterated government's agenda to promote domestic tourism as indicated in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's commitment at the launch of domestic and regional tourism on the theme: "Experience Ghana, Share Ghana".
"We believe the President's drive and the ministries commitment to make tourism the number one Gross Domestic Product with five million tour arrivals annually will be achieved with such partnerships as the inter tourism expo".
Mr Mantey commended the organizers of the event for their innovative ideas and hard work, adding that the strategic options to drive sustainable tourism and economic growth in the industry would require multiple approaches and new technologies.
He said the historic event would showcase Ghana's position as a preferred destination for leisure, meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions, urging all interested tourism trade professionals, both home and abroad to join hands in hosting the expo successfully.
Mr Emmanuel Treku, the Convener of iNTTA2021, said the Expo would attract over 150 exhibitors, 200 hosted buyers and 500 trade visitors to participate from across the globe.
Mr Treku stated that the Expo would provide a cost – effective tourism business promotion platform for sellers and buyers in the industry to network and do business in a friendly environment.
"It also offers insights into existing opportunities for business, leisure, meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions in the ECOWAS sub region via public private partnerships.
He said the expo also sought to consolidate Ghana's leadership position as the gateway to Africa, stressing that the event would be crowned with a familiarization trip to celebrate the world tourism day.

Thank you so much for the link... It helped a lot. My notification, home button and the multitasking screen was not working... now my phone looks new after the restore. Thank you. Keep up the good work!!!!
Thanks Nikita for following up!! Got another case for whom this button was disabled and got link from there for Hard reset of phone.
I cleared cache partition after taking backup of data. That din't help. This phone is turning out to be good for nothing. Factory Reset button is disabled for my phone. Not sure what else can be tried. If anyone got read of this problem, please post the involved steps ASAP.
Problems related to home button, notification bar, incoming calls can solved by factory reset of your phone. But by doing this you'll be losing all your data,so you need to back up! My phone had these problems and now it's perfectly fine!
I am facing the exact same problem like many others. Drop down notifications not working. Not receiving any calls. Home button, multi tasking buttons not working. Now, my mobile is not worth using it. I cannot do anything. I'm getting mad. Pls anyone give solution fast.
I am also facing same problem (not receiving any call/message, notifications not coming, lock not working) . Mine in Moto 2nd Gen. Although upgrade to Marshmallow happened some time back but started facing problems from 13th May, 2016.
I am same problem after the update. Touch recognition is reduced. Home button and multitask button not working. The notification bar is not showing anything.
Ever since I got the latest update phone is not recognising the SD card at all. This is getting on my nerves as most of my data is SD card. It recognises only for seconds even if I remove and connect the SD card. Please fix this problem soon.

Home World The coronation of Carlos III will have processions, feasts and concerts
The coronation of Carlos III will have processions, feasts and concerts
The coronation of King Carlos III in May will feature a star-studded concert, a grand "national lunch" and an initiative to promote volunteerism, in addition to the traditional ceremony and parades, Buckingham Palace announced on Saturday.
The festivities, ceremonies and community events, which will last three days, will be an opportunity "for people to come together in a celebration of a historic occasion"he added.
Until then, the monarchy will try to reduce the negative impact of the inflammatory statements about the royal family contained in the memoir. "In the shadow"by Prince Henry, the King's youngest son, published this month.
It is not yet known if Enrique – who lives in the United States – and his wife, the exactriz Meghan Markle, will attend the coronation, but a recent report in the Sunday Times newspaper indicated that there could be a reconciliation with his father and his brother Guillermo, heir of the throne, before the celebration.
Carlos, 74, became king after the death in September of his mother, Isabel II, at the age of 96, 70 of them at the helm of the monarchy.
Carlos II also assumed as head of state of the 14 countries of the British Commonwealth (Commonwealth), including Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The coronation usually takes place a few months after the monarch takes office, as there is a period of national mourning and many details to adjust.
– Procession –
Charles III's coronation, the first in the UK since 1953, will take place on Saturday May 6 at Westminster Abbey, where they have been held for 900 years.
His 75-year-old wife Camila will also be crowned consort.
The couple will arrive from the palace without other members of the royal family, in what is known as the "king's procession"and then he will return with a retinue, which is known as the "coronation procession".
To close the first day, the members of royalty will greet the population from a balcony of Buckingham Palace, on whose esplanade thousands of people are expected to gather.
– A concert "special" –
The next day, there will be a "special coronation concert" at Windsor Castle, West London, broadcast live on the BBC, which will feature the participation of "world music icons and contemporary stars".
will also act a "coronation choir" formed by groups of amateur singers from all over the United Kingdom, from refugee choirs, health workers and LGTBQ + groups (lesbian, gay, trans, bisexual, 'queer' and others), as well as deaf people.
The main course will arrive at night, with a light show entitled "light up the nation" that will fill emblematic places with colors, with projectors, lasers and drones.
Neighbors and communities will be invited to participate in "grand coronation brunches"as a "national act of celebration and friendship".
Monday, the last day of the festivities (which this year will be a holiday), will be organized by charitable and religious groups, which "highlight the positive impact of volunteerism in the nation's communities".

Niagara Health to enter modern era of hospital information, go fully electronic
by The Niagara Independent
December 16, 2022 | 2 min read
Lynn Guerriero, president and CEO of Niagara Health, signs a 10-year agreement with healthcare information system technology-provider Oracle Cerner. Photo credit: Niagara Health
If one walks into a Niagara hospital today, he or she may experience a triage nurse fumbling about with paper-based forms or repeating questions one would think, given how many times it's been answered in the past, the person processing them would and should know.
It's the continued legacy of an outdated information system that not only slows down the process of seeing a doctor, but often times creates more problems than it solves.
But local healthcare providers are trying to change all that.
On Thursday, Niagara Health – which oversees five facilities around the region – and Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre together signed a 10-year agreement with Oracle Cerner to build a robust, modern hospital information system for Niagara.
The new system will allow Niagara Health and Hotel Dieu Shaver to replace paper-based records and outdated electronic processes with more modern, connected, and accessible electronic health records. The system will enable better management of data, improved patient safety, faster access to information, enhanced quality and consistency of patient care, and more.
"We are thrilled to have reached this significant milestone and to have established such an important relationship with Oracle Cerner," said Niagara Health president and CEO Lynn Guerriero in a press release Thursday. "This project is another step in our digital transformation journey and will bring countless improvements for patients, families, staff, physicians and the community."
With an anticipated launch date of fall 2024, the project is expected to take about two years to complete.
The new system will include digital solutions to manage information for inpatient and outpatient services including acute care, surgical care, emergency and urgent care, complex care, mental health, cancer care and rehab. Niagara Health will implement Cerner technology, using the Cerner Canadian Reference Model, which will be based on Canadian best practices and interoperability standards.
"We are delighted to partner with Niagara Health and Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre on this digital journey to deliver world-class health services to residents of Niagara," said vice-president at Oracle Cerner, Canada Brian Sandager. "Together we will roll out a regional hospital information system that will create an improved, patient-centric healthcare delivery system."
Oracle Cerner will provide a Canadian-hosted managed service for Niagara Health and Hotel Dieu Shaver. The two organizations will join the Ontario eHub Oracle Cerner Health Information Exchange (HIE) collaborative to share information with other hospitals across Ontario. The Oracle Cerner solution is used by more than 60 hospitals across Ontario.
Though it doesn't use the Oracle network, Niagara's neighbouring hospital system, Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS), just finished a complete overhaul of its information system in June of this year.
The HHS overhaul, which eliminated paper-based patient health records and replaced dozens of non-integrated electronic applications with a single, unified system, took just over two years to implement.


Most often I start making DIY gifts + their gift wrapping super last-minute. Last year I've whipped up these upcycled Easter gift bags for my god-daughter and her sister literally minutes before I needed to leave the house for our Easter get together.
Being a super efficient person, I never want to make things twice if I don't have to. So I mostly take the extra minute or two to document the production process for you and risk arriving late to the party.
Interested what DIY gift ideas or crafts kept me from being on time so far? It happened for example HERE and HERE and even to a friend's wedding – the tutorial is not up yet.
My family and friends have gotten used to this quirk over the years, lol.
Don't forget to download your Free Templates HERE. They are a thank you for subscribing to my newsletter.
All of the supplies I used where already in my stash for a long time (I'll link to the original crafts I bought them for throughout this post for you). You simply have to work with what you have at hand & be creative if you are a last-minute creator like I am, lol. So obviously this Easter craft tutorial is perfect for Megan's monthly Craft Room De-Stash Challenge, don't you think?
At the end of this post you'll find my friends creations. Make sure to check them out!
I am still working on the little Video Tutorial for you. If you enjoy visual learning same as I do, make sure to sign up to my YouTube channel HERE so you don't miss out.
Download, print, and cut out Easter bunny & eggs FREE template. Remember, it's a thank you for subscribing to my newsletter.
If you want to improve your handwriting, grab the FREE Practice Sheet for my tall&skinny hand-lettering font, too. I came up with it while making these Heart-Shaped Wooden Herb Markers.
Using a black Sharpie marker, trace the bunny shape and some easter eggs onto one side of a Brown Kraft Paper Bag. If you make several you can mix things up by flipping the bunny template over, adding some markings to your bunnies fur, and giving the Easter eggs a different design pattern.
Don't forget to draw your little bunny a happy face (see photo above).
Add a little note or the recipient's name.
Lastly, it's time to decorate!
Add silk flowers, Rhinestones, Pom Poms, and whatnot using your trusted Hot Glue Gun. Use Sharpies, a White Gel Pen or some glitter glue to add highlights to your design.
I still had some of those darling Flower Pegs I made for my Bent-Wire Memo Board Remember. I clipped them to the top to keep the gift bags closed.
If you want to spruce up your Easter gift idea & make it extra special, why not write a little note on it in German?! Either on this gift bag or a Handmade Card.
Happy Easter! >> Frohe Ostern!
Let me know if I can add to this list for you. I would be more than happy to do so!
Learn how to DIY those darling Flower Pegs HERE. Read up on their multiple purposes, too.
Make a Motivational Cardboard Cut-Out Sign from your leftover silk flowers or a Bunny Ears Headband.
I added a little Glitter Glue to the green leaves of the daisy decor of my second DIY Easter gift bag.

I'm sure you'll love this handmade Mixed-Media Easter Card, too. Click through and you'll learn how to crochet a little Easter bunny charm. You'll find even more Ester ideas over at AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com.
How fun! I love adding the flowers to give the bag some dimension. It's always great to use what we have. Pinning to my Easter board.
Thank you for the share, Beverly. Yeah, I like working with my ever growing stash. But I also love buying craft supplies without having a project in mind. Lol.
These are too cute, Habiba! And the idea can be used for just about any holiday or special occasion just by changing up the graphics and accessories!
Yep! I bought the paper bags for Christmas but didn't take quality photos back then. Glad you like them.
What a great way to dress up a plain bag! You artwork is so cute!
Thank you so much, Roseann. I had fun making them.
Very cute! I am sure your cute and sweet gift bags were a hit!
They sure were, Lauren. The girls played with them afterwards and had a lot of fun doing so.
Love these bags and I can imagine these for all sorts of occasions!
You are so right, Claudia. They are very versatile.
Such s cute Easter idea! I really love the eggs. Such a cute design! I'm pinning this to my Easter board!
You're most welcome my dear. Happy crafting.
I'm sure these were a big hit and you will be asked to make them again for many more years. I like how they continued to reuse them for other things. Great project.
That is what I like the most, too, Donna! This way my time was not wasted for only a gift wrapping but gave them also a little play fun.
Beach buckets are a fun idea, too! Thank you for telling me.


Grief and bereavement over the loss of a loved one or close friend is an inevitable part of life, and something everyone will eventually experience.
Adding stress to an already emotional situation, families who have not pre-planned for funerals often struggle to make important decisions regarding funeral arrangements. All of these things can add up to an overwhelming amount of stress and sadness, but there's hope. With the right support, you can learn how to deal with these feelings, as well as how to handle logistical obstacles that arise when a loved one passes on.
While grief is a natural experience, someone should consider seeking help if their grief does not subside or continues for an extended period of time.

Winter is upon us and with it comes a number of risks to rental properties which can lead to costly problems for landlords.
Make sure the heating system is working as it should so there are no nasty surprises when it gets really cold. Aim to have the boiler serviced annually to keep it in good working order throughout the year.
Check all external pipes for any signs of leaks, breaks or blockages. Serious problems can occur when blocked or leaking pipes freeze during the winter, then expand and burst. Make sure they are properly secured to the walls and check the brickwork for cracks which could let water in.
If there is an open fire make sure the chimney has been swept and don't forget to provide a suitable fireguard.
Your property should be adequately insulated and any obvious draught points identified and dealt with. Fit draught excluders to any doors and windows that need it.
Tenants need to be made aware of the simple steps they can take to protect your property from unnecessary damage during the winter. Don't assume that they already know how to deal with the cold weather as many won't, or may not think about it.
Ask them to keep background heating on at a level to avoid extremes of temperature. If they go away during the winter they should leave the heating on a setting to maintain a constant temperature of between eight and ten degrees Celsius so the pipes don't freeze.
Condensation is a common problem. It can form on any surface and may not be noticed until mould starts to grow or materials show signs of rotting.
The simplest and most effective way of preventing condensation is to make sure there is adequate ventilation and heating. Extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom will help, as will telling your tenants how to minimise condensation, such as opening windows when cooking or washing and not drying clothes on radiators.
Most property owners have a list of small issues that need sorting that they simply haven't got round to. Now is the time to see to those outstanding jobs, from clearing the gutters to fixing that loose pipe or draughty backdoor to prevent them becoming bigger and potentially more expensive issues when the weather turns bad.
Having an empty property during the winter is a worry. If your property is likely to be unoccupied you need to make plans for its upkeep and visit regularly to open windows and check on the heating. With rental demand exceptionally high, if your property is priced and marketed correctly, it is unlikely to be empty for long.
Not all insurance products cover rented properties so check that you have appropriate landlords' building and contents insurance in place.
You never know exactly when an emergency will happen but problems do tend to arise more often in winter and an immediate response is always vital. If you are a Leaders landlord now is a good time to consider signing up to our Emergency Repairs Service which covers landlords for all emergency call-outs not usually covered by typical home insurance products. Tenants are given an Emergency Helpline number with access to fully vetted contractors who will attend to an emergency promptly.

#11 of Mattie Winston Mystery
Annelise Ryan
Jorjeana Marie
A new murder victim with an old M.O. puts Mattie Winston on the trail of a killer who gives a grim new meaning to flower power . . .
Spring is beginning to brighten Sorenson, Wisconsin, for Mattie and Steve Hurley and their family. While their son Matthew may be in his terrible twos and Steve's daughter Emily a moody teenager, the kids bring light to their lives when their work is dark by its nature-Steve is a homicide detective and Mattie is a medicolegal death investigator, a.k.a. medical examiner. They deal in corpses.
The latest corpse, a Jane Doe, was clearly an addict, but drugs didn't kill her, at least not directly. She's been stabbed multiple times in a pattern that is disturbingly familiar to Mattie. When she discovers flower petals from yellow carnations stuffed into the stab wounds, she recognizes a very specific M.O.-belonging to a convicted serial killer who's currently serving a life sentence.
The details of the flower petals were never made public in the last case, so it can't be a copycat crime. It looks like the wrong man is in prison, and the murderer is still at large. Now it's up to Mattie and Steve to get the case reopened-and catch the real carnation killer . . .

In September of 2014, I wrote an article titled "How Distorted Thinking Increases Stress and Anxiety." It covered the ten most common cognitive distortions. Cognitive distortions are errors in thinking. Although they're easy to define and often easy to recognize in ourselves, they can be hard to overcome. They're worth learning about and working on, though, because they can make us miserable (or, as I think of it, intensify our mental suffering).
When you engage in this type of thinking, you erroneously see yourself as the cause of things you're not responsible for. For this reason, personalization is a major source of anxiety and unhappiness. It also leads to self-blame…and that's never good for you.
Personalization appears in two forms. #1: You take your own disappointments and struggles personally. #2: You feel responsible for other people's happiness, even believing that it's your job to make sure that the people you care about are successful at whatever they do.
I'll address these two forms of personalization separately.
