Home ODISHA LATEST Minor boy in Odisha capital killed for resisting unnatural sex
Minor boy in Odisha capital killed for resisting unnatural sex
Reported by Santosh Jagdev
Bhubaneswar, June 14:
As the rest of Odisha celebrated Pahili Raja with great fervour on Saturday, Dillip Prusty of Bhubaneswar had to perform an unenviable task: taking possession of the body of his 11-year old son, brutally murdered by two sex maniacs, from the morgue at the Capital hospital here.
Dillip, who stays in the sweepers' basti in Unit VI, broke down and sobbed uncontrollably as he took possession of the body of his son Debendra, who would have been celebrating Raja with his peers had he not fallen into the hands of the two perverts on Thursday.
Twin City commissioner Dr RP Sharma revealed that Debendra had been lured by two youths – Sunil Gochayat (19) and Anil Gochayat (19) – and killed after he resisted their attempt to have unnatural sex with him. When Anil too attempted to do the same, the little boy resisted. Furious at his resistance, the two accused tied him to a pole and strangulated him," Sharma said.
The commissioner said one of the accused, Sunil, had been arrested and had confessed to having committed the crime. "He was arrested the day after the crime in another case in connection with the theft of motor cycle. He was identified by the father of the deceased boy as one of the two men who had lured his son away when he had come to lodge a missing case about his son on Friday," he said. Sunil confessed to the crime during the interrogation that followed, he added.
After extracting information from Sunil, Airfield police personnel, along with the scientific team, reached the crime spot and recovered the minor's body from the bush.
Sunil has now been forwarded to the court while a manhunt had been launched to nab his accomplice in the crime, Anil, the commissioner said.

UT San Diego: "Youth Symphony plans China tour for 70th anniversary"
Ensemble getting commitments from students to enable tour to go forward
By James Chute
Wednesday, May 21, 2014. San Diego, CA. Jeff Edmonds, Artistic Director of the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, rehearses the Wind Orchestra in preparation for the Spring Showcase and Ovation.

When the San Diego Symphony toured China in 2013, Sidney Yin was always in the background, observing what was going on, asking questions, helping whenever and wherever he could. n But Yin was not an orchestra musician or a symphony staff member; he was the artistic administrator of the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory.
The Youth Symphony, with the help of June Shillman, who was also instrumental in the San Diego Symphony's trip to China, has now planned its own tour to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2015. If the Youth Symphony is able to get enough of its musicians to commit, it expects to leave San Diego on June 23 to perform at the opening of the Summer Youth Music Festival in Beijing's Forbidden City Concert Hall, play two concerts in Yantai, San Diego's sister city, and conclude with a July 4 concert at Shanghai's Oriental Arts Center.
The tour would be the orchestra's second time visiting China (the first was in 1981) and its first international tour since 1998, when it performed in Eastern Europe.
"We're seeing the tour as very celebratory," music director Jeff Edmons said two weeks ago. "It's a celebration of the institution, its artistic achievement, its collaborative nature, and its desire to share classical music, whether that be here, downtown, in a nearby community, or whether that be across borders."
While seeking commitments from its musicians, the Youth Symphony continues to look for possible sponsors for the tour and is planning several free concerts in Balboa Park during 2015.
"We've been working to gather commitments from our musicians to participate in a tour to China since our Board of Directors approved the project in September," said Dalouge Smith, the Youth Symphony's CEO. "We're looking forward to receiving their responses by the end of the month. … We'll seek community partners and supporters to assist SDYS in achieving the full potential of this and all of our 70th anniversary events."
Holistic orientation
You could say the San Diego Youth Symphony, which had been scheduled to preview the tour program in a free June 18 concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion, one of several free concerts it will offer in Balboa Park during 2015, has never been more ready to go on tour.
It has made enormous strides since 1945, when it was founded by conductor Leo Scheer and operated under the auspices of the city's Park and Recreation Department. The city also established its own ballet company, the San Diego Civic Youth Ballet, and soon afterward, a city-run youth theater program, now the San Diego Junior Theatre.
Those three organizations will contribute to the park's 2015 Centennial Celebration with a joint exhibit on the history of youth performing arts in Balboa Park that launches with a performance Nov. 14, 2015, at the Casa del Prado Theatre.
In the '90s, all three organizations became separate nonprofit entities, with the youth orchestra board hiring Edmons in 1996 as its first full-time conductor. At the time, the organization was a single, 60-member symphonic ensemble that former music director Louis Campiglia had developed during his 28-year tenure, which included 12 international tours. Edmons, however, was intent on broadening the Youth Symphony's activities to include multiple ensembles and multiple kinds of ensembles.
"Certainly one of the most meaningful, foundational aspects of the organization is our desire to be holistic about music education," said Edmons. "That's one of the reasons why we have such a breadth of ensembles across all age ranges and all points of experience in classical music, both in terms of large ensembles and in terms of more intimate opportunities."
Edmons has an ally in Smith, who joined as executive director in 2005 and encouraged Edmons and the board to stretch even further, beyond multiple ensembles, even beyond Balboa Park.
"Our board of directors was confronted with the fact we were serving a relatively narrow geographic part of San Diego County, and as we looked deeper into why that might be, we discovered that the availability of music learning outside that particular area, across the whole county, was variable."
Smith and his board discovered that in many areas of the county, especially the South Bay, if students were receiving any music education, it wasn't until seventh grade. The organization broadened its goals, which under Campiglia had been focused primarily on performance, to also include access.
"We believe that music education is a powerful, transformative experience, and every child should have the opportunity," said Smith. "So we've established this vision to make music education affordable for all children in San Diego."
Mission focus
That might seem a quixotic task, and when the symphony's El Sistema-inspired Community Opus Project launched in the Chula Vista Elementary School District in 2010, it reached 65 students in two schools with a free, after-school music program.
A year later, the Community Opus Project served 200 students in six schools; then 450 students in seven schools. Last year, it reached 3,000-plus students in 18 schools.
"This year, there are seven schools with full-time music teachers (for the first time in 15 years), a full-time visual/performing arts resource teacher, and other school districts are now seeing that and asking, 'How's that happening? How can we do that?'?" said Smith.
"So we're also consulting with the San Marcos Unified School District in their development of a new strings program, starting again with after school, but aiming to get it in school. And we've had conversations with other school districts as well, as far away as Chino."
The students who want an experience beyond those school programs now participate in the Youth Symphony's ensembles in Balboa Park, which now total 590 students and offer open, public rehearsals on the weekends.
Given its mission focus, the Youth Symphony was the grand prize winner of the national Boardsource/Prudential Leadership Award in 2012, and Boardsource (a resource organization for nonprofits) is now using the Youth Symphony as one of three case studies in its current "standforyourmission" campaign.
The organization is attracting attention in other quarters as well. It's hardly an accident that inside the program booklet for the Youth Symphony's 2014 spring concerts was a full-page ad for the famed Juilliard School of Music with the headline "Imagine … yourself here!"
"Whether or not our students become music majors, they will be able to look back on the experiences they've had here," said Edmons. "They'll remember how each one of those experiences may have had a unique impact on who they became as a musician and, more importantly, who they became as a person."
Edmons is hoping that touring China will be one of those experiences.

Cobb, Kerry and Nader
I was struck by two emails that came my way a few days ago. One was an endorsement of John Kerry by Winona LaDuke. The other was a press release from the N.Y. Independence Party announcing that, this coming week, Ralph Nader will "campaign in the Black community with Independence Party leader and activist Dr. Lenora Fulani."
Winona LaDuke, of course, was Ralph Nader's Vice-Presidential running mate in both 1996 and 2000. Her endorsement of Kerry is in many ways a metaphor for Nader's
2004 Presidential campaign. Large numbers of former Nader supporters, including the national Green Party of the United States, are not supporting him this time around. Some, like LaDuke, are supporting Kerry. Others are supporting David Cobb. Other Greens are focusing their efforts on local campaigns.
But Nader just keeps motoring along, accepting support from individual Greens, several socialist groups, disaffected Republicans, former Pat Buchanan backers in the Reform Party, state Republican parties (as in Michigan where they filed 35,000 signatures to get him on the ballot) and the Fred Newman/Lenora Fulani/Independence Party crowd. This latter group has, over the past 12 years, supported white, male, multi-millionaires and rightists like Ross Perot, Abe Hirschfield, Tom Golisano and Pat Buchanan in races for President and N.Y. Governor, as well as Nader this year.
Nader has shifted his focus as the 2004 campaign has evolved. At the beginning of it he was almost supportive of Kerry, going so far as to praise him as "Presidential"
after meeting with him in the spring and then publicly advising him that he should choose John Edwards as his running mate. Now, because the Democrats have done everything they could to keep him off state ballots, he is saying there are no real differences between Bush and Kerry, spent the last week campaigning in battleground states and is prominently displaying "Spoiler" t-shirts for sale on his website.
I am so glad that the national Green Party had the common sense and political smarts to choose David Cobb as its Presidential nominee.
Cobb and his running mate, Patricia LaMarche, the only female Presidential or VP candidate among the parties or campaigns on the ballot in more than half the states, are not going to get the vote numbers of Nader/Camejo. The name recognition disparity is too great. Neither will get very many votes; Nader is down around 1% in the polls, and Cobb is, unsurprisingly, much lower. But the Cobb-LaMarche campaign has done yeoman/yeowoman work this year to keep the Green Party together, in the public eye, and positively evolving despite all the tremendous difficulties.
As a result, with two weeks to go before the election, there is a realistic chance that we could emerge after November 2 with two victories: the removal of the Bushites from office, and the survival/growth of the Green Party as an increasingly more mature and broadly-based alternative to both the Democrats and Republicans.
Key to both of these objectives is the turning out of as many of the "sleeping giant" as possible, that 50% of the eligible electorate that doesn't vote. Fortunately, there is concrete evidence via a major increase in voter registration in urban areas and among students and youth that some of these usual non-voters are planning to vote this year. We all need to do everything we can, publicly agitating until November 2, to reinforce this momentum.
One concrete way to do so, particularly among communities of color and progressive whites, is for local activists to connect with "Vote for Racial Justice Week,"
October 18-24th. Resources, including literature that can be downloaded, copied and distributed this week and until election day, is available at http://www.racismwatch.org.
Finally, it is encouraging to see the advance preparations being made both to defend the right to vote in areas like Florida where it is under attack (www.democracy2004.org), and to publicly demonstrate beginning on November 3 if there is obvious or likely voter fraud on election day. Three websites, http://www.ttww.org, http://www.beyondvoting.org and http://www.nov3.us, have information about networks that have been formed and actions that are being planned.
The independent progressive movement, in the broad sense of the term, is having a decided political impact this year. Whatever happens on November 2nd it is absolutely critical that we continue building upon this momentum. Whoever is elected on November 2nd, or selected later, the crises we are facing in this country are too great to allow our sadness over a Bush victory or our elation over a Kerry victory to stop us from moving ahead independent of both corporate parties afterwards. But for the next two weeks let's personally give everything we can.
Let's make history on November 2!

How do I find elderly home care?
If you are looking for elderly care for a loved one, it is important to have a clear idea of what kind of care they need and what level of help they require.
Some older people can manage to retain their independence with just a little input from a carer who will help with tasks they can no longer manage, but others may need companion care 24-hours a day, to ensure that they can remain safely in their own home.
It can be useful to list exactly what your loved one wants from the home care provider, so sit down with them and talk about the activities that they need help or support with. In addition to help with personal care, older people often find that they need assistance with more general household tasks, such as laundry and meal preparation. If this is the case, then live-in care can be a very cost effective option.
Not only will the carer be available to help with things such as washing, dressing and mobility issues, they will also carry out other domestic tasks. If your loved one is at risk of falls or needs someone around to keep them safe, care at home from a live-in carer can give you the peace of mind you need, if you are unable to be with them as much as you would like.
When your loved one's needs have been clearly identified, you need to find a reputable care provider. It is possible to employ a carer privately, but this can be fraught with difficulties. If you are able to find a suitable carer, you would need to make extensive checks before offering them employment.
A contract of employment would have to be drawn up and you would need to take financial considerations such as National Insurance contributions, income tax and pension contributions into account. Another problem with arranging elderly care privately for your loved one is the need to cover time off and holidays.
Some companies are simply introductory agencies and do not directly employ carers. Although they may screen potential employees, you still have the same legal and financial responsibilities regarding the employment as you would if you found the carer privately.
A care provider will not only carry out all the necessary pre-employment checks, but will also ensure that the carer has the training they need to provide the high quality care your loved one needs, and when the carer needs time off, their place will be filled by another appropriately trained and experienced carer. Some care providers cover a limited area, but others, such as Elder, can provide live-in care at home throughout the UK.
Ask possible care providers about their recruitment procedures and how they choose the carers they employ. DBS checks should be carried out on anyone who works with vulnerable older people, and care providers should also ensure that the carer is legally entitled to work in the UK.
If your loved one has specific needs, ask the care provider about how these would be met. Companies such as Elder will aim to match their live-in carers with the specific care recipient, so that in addition to being able to meet their physical support needs, they will also be able to support them in social activities or interests.
Although you may have a good idea of your loved one's needs, the care provider should draw up a detailed care plan that outlines the care required. You and your loved one should be involved in this so that the carer is aware of their needs, likes and dislikes and individual requirements.
Having a live-in carer means that your loved one will be able to make choices about all aspects of their daily activities, such as what time to get up, what to wear, what to eat and how to spend their time.
If your loved one has a condition such as Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia, they may need a carer who is specially trained and experienced in dementia care and this should be clarified at the start. People living with dementia are often much more happy and settled if they are able to remain in their own familiar environment, so care at home is the ideal solution.
Care companies such as Elder ensure that their carers have the training they need to care for people with a wide range of problems. If your loved one has had a stroke, has diabetes or needs special help with other conditions such as multiple sclerosis, they can still be supported to remain in their own home and live as independently as possible. Palliative care in the home can also be arranged to make this stage of your loved one's life as relaxed and comfortable as it can be.


Like most Americans, I really enjoyed buttery, salty popcorns with my movie nights. However, I quickly let popcorn be a food of my past when I moved to a whole food, plant-based diet. In addition to no dairy, I didn't want any extracted oils and salt added to my food. Thus, popcorn became way less desirable when it was just corn kernels popped.
I tried topping it with nutritional yeast. Occasionally, I even mixed in ground cashews. The problem was I couldn't get the toppings to stick, so I just decided to pass on the popcorn.
A few years in, I thought "what if we could spritz moisture onto the popcorn to help the seasoning stick?" I started with water and then vegetable broth. Both helped the seasoning stick which was an improvement. So I used this technique and snacked on popcorn here and there. Then last year, I got a little insight from Dr. Micheal Greger. Instead of water, use balsamic vinegar! Tried it out and it worked like a charm. Now, I can fully enjoy popcorn again!
This makes a wonderful low-calorie after dinner treat, of lunchtime snack for kids. I also make this sugar, oil and salt-free popcorn for road trips and long flights.
Makes about 5 cups | Ready in 10 minutes | Stores 2 days at room temp.
Before making the popcorn, mix the nooch (aka nutritional yeast), salt-free seasoning, and curry powder in a small bowl.
Fill a mister (usually used for oil) with balsamic vinegar, and pump it so that it is pressurized.
Pop the popcorn kernels on the stovetop or using an air-popper.
Let the popped popcorn cool for a minute before seasoning.
Spray the popcorn with the balsamic very lightly. Then sprinkle some of the seasoning over top and gently toss the popcorn with your hands. Repeat this process until all of the seasoning is used. It's best to do this in rounds so the popcorn doesn't get soggy in certain spots and more of the popcorn will be coated with the yummy flavors.
First, note that to prepare this recipe as written you'll need a mister. Here's the one I use. It's just $10. Nothing fancy, but it works great. I don't ever put oil in it, just vinegar.
To make popcorn on the stove without oil, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, once hot add the kernels and cover. When they start popping, lower the heat to medium and shake the pan occasionally to prevent burning.
Feel free to leave out the nutritional yeast or curry powder, if you like. My preference is the combination.
You can also play with your popcorn flavor by switching up the seasoning combination. A few spices I've used and liked are garlic granules, cumin, red pepper flakes, and cinnamon.
If you like this recipe I also recommend trying out Dr. Greger's Zombie Corn!
It IS quite good! Plus, sticking the powder to the popcorn with vinegar instead of liquid aminos also makes for happier blood vessels. Let me know if you try it, Muriel!

Sorla
"Change is inevitable. It is the nature of all things. Life itself, but still it remains water. You must feel the truth of this. Do not fight it. Embrace the change."
— Sorla to Nya in "The Traveler's Tree"
The Never-Realm
Patty Drake
Sorla is an elderly Ice Fisher and the leader of the Great Lake. She helped the Ninja when they travel there to find Zane, saving them from Frost Wolves and showing them the way to the Castle of Ice.
1.1 The Never-Realm
1.2 Fire Maker
1.3 An Unlikely Ally
1.4 The Message
1.5 The Traveler's Tree
1.6 My Enemy, My Friend
1.7 Awakenings
Sorla greets the Ninja when they arrive at her cabin. After exchanging introductions, she uses a mystical fire to show the Ninja what happened to Zane. She tells them that Zane is taken captive by the Ice Emperor and he is "lost." However, Lloyd believes Zane is strong and they will still come for him despite all the dangers she said. Sorla then warns them of General Vex who is out to get the Ninja.
Fire Maker
Lloyd and Sorla discuss the path to get to the Castle of Ice. She talks about having to be very quiet when you progress through Mala-Wojira or else Wojira will "strike you down."
When she heads outside to hear the news of Blizzard Samurai heading to the Great Lake, she tells everyone to head inside, so they can regroup.
Inside her cabin, the Ice Fishers throw ideas around on what they should do, but disagreements arise. Sorla then states that can't leave the Fire and they must protect it. When Kai asks why they "don't just light another fire," he is met by criticism by the Ice Fishers, but Sorla explains that they can't light another Hearth Fire since the weather is too cold. After realizing they can't transport the Hearth Fire, Sorla makes it clear they will protect it, and the Ninja agreed that they will help.
When the Ice Fishers and the Ninja head out to prepare, Kai stays behind with Sorla. He explains that he could solve the problem, but without his powers, he can't help. Sorla gives him advice saying Elemental Powers can't be stolen, and it will come back.
The Ice Fishers win the battle, but it's at the cost of losing their sacred Fire. The Ice Fishers sit around the empty Fire, freezing in the winter night. Kai continues to blame himself for not having his Elemental Powers, and Sorla asks if Kai has done everything he can do. This gives Kai the spark to try to light another Fire which turns out to be a success, with Kai slightly starting to regain his powers.
An Unlikely Ally
When Nya walks away from Kai, Cole, and Jay, she is soon confronted by Sorla who says that her powers are useful even if the water is frozen.
Sorla and the other Ice Fishers went out to see what Uthaug wanted to show them. They were shocked to see it's a piece of Lloyd's gi.
The Traveler's Tree
Sorla is shown with Nya, beginning her training on mastering ice.
My Enemy, My Friend
Sorla and the rest of the Ice Fishers try to escape Boreal but was frozen in ice.
Upon Zane destroying his scepter, the Ice Fishers, including Sorla, were all unfrozen as a result. Several days later, Sorla tells the reunited Ninja that she cannot brew Traveler's Tea due to Ninjago being a distant realm until Cole gives her the berry he had been saving. Once the portal was created, the Ninja go through as Sorla watches Krag say goodbye to Cole before comforting the lone yeti, and watches Lloyd head in as the portal disappears.

128. "Awakenings"
Zane briefly disguised himself as Sorla in "The Explorers Club."
She has knowledge of Elemental Powers, though it is unknown where she attained such knowledge.
Her role in the Never-Realm is similar to Vakama from Bionicle.
Sorla is the leader of the Ice Fishers, whereas Vakama is Chieftain of the Ta-Matoran who were former residents of Ta-Metru.
Sorla consults with the spirits of the Hearth Fire in "Awakenings" just like how Vakama 'consults' with the "Sacred Fire" from the Bohrok-Kal Online Animation "Out of Their Elements".
Sorla comforts Krag.

September 22, 2015 / Gener8 Finance	/ Leave a comment
As huge cycling fans, Gener8 Finance are pleased to announce that we are sponsoring one of the country's leading Cyclo-Cross riders, Ben Sumner for the 2015/16 season.
Cyclo-Cross is already extremely popular in Europe, as both a participation and spectator sport, and is rapidly gaining popularity in this country. It is very different to traditional road and track racing, and involves riding over a variety of terrains, including fields and tracks, with competitors having to dismount and carry their bikes over obstacles.
Oxfordshire-based Ben (pictured right), 21, is the reigning under 23 Trophy Series champion, a title he also won in 2014. In addition, he won his third consecutive bronze medal in the under-23 category at the British National Cyclo-Cross Championships in 2015.
Ben's Under-23 category success was also enough to see him come 3rd in the National Trophy Elite Men's Series – we are confident that he is heading for greatness, and at Gener8 we are proud to be supporting him all the way.
Ben rides for the Beeline Bicycles Cyclo-Cross team, which is owned by Beeline Bicycles, Oxford's leading cycle retailer (www.beelinebicycles.co.uk). The Beeline team is a huge supporter of up-and-coming cyclists in the U.K. and has a stable of talented young riders.
The cycling season begins again in October, and will see Ben compete in the Round 1 of the National Trophy series in Southampton, on the 11th. His main goal this year is to focus on the National Trophy, and win the yellow jersey!
Pre-season training is going well, with Ben recently competing in the Eastern Cyclo-Cross League (www.easterncross.org.uk/race15-16-1.htm) at Basildon Sporting Village in Essex, which he won comfortably, beating the 2nd placed rider by a full 1 minute 20 seconds!
"For the first race back I was just testing my legs really. I'm going to be focusing on the National Trophy this season, and aiming for that yellow jersey. I don't think that's an unrealistic expectation." (Ben Sumner)
Gener8 will be following Ben's progress as he continues to compete across the UK and Europe, and we will be sharing his journey with you.

Australia vs India: Aaron Finch likely to bat down the order at the SCG
Finch has so far scored only 97 runs in the series while opening the innings.

Australia's backs are against the walls in the ongoing Test series against India. With the loss in Melbourne, they won't be able to win the series but can certainly save it and defy India their maiden Test series win down under. However, for that to happen, they will have to improve their batting which has immensely struggled. For the same reason, Aaron Finch is likely to bat in the middle-order in the final Test in Sydney.
The first day of the New Year saw the hosts sweat it out in the nets at the Sydney Cricket ground (SCG) with seven of their 14-man squad taking the field. The skipper Tim Paine, Nathan Lyon, Usman Khawaja, Aaron Finch, Marcus Harris, Peter Handscomb and Marnus Labuschagne were the ones who trained in the sunshine as Australia aim to level the series by winning the last match.
Labuschagne also likely to come in
According to the Cricket Australia's official website, Aaron Finch who hasn't done much at the top of the order in the series can be moved down to bat. However, with no other opener in the side, Usman Khawaja might open the innings and Finch can take the number five position where he bats for his state team in the Sheffield Shield. This might give them stability as the aggressive player can blunt the old ball to leave the bowlers confused.
"An unchanged line-up is still a possibility, with Finch shifting down to the middle order where he calls home at first-class level, and those ahead of him moving up one spot," CA's report read.
Moreover, with the SCG pitch expected to turn, Marnus Labuschagne can also make it to the playing XI as he also provides the fifth bowling option with his leg-spinners. Labuschange was impressive in the UAE where he picked a handful of wickets and if he plays then Mitchell Marsh will most probably have to make way for him.

STS ASIA, Seoul — Apple Garosugil (가로수길 ), the Cupertino-based giant's first official store in South Korea will open in Seoul on Saturday at 10AM KST, bringing Apple's products, in-store programming and services together closer for its South Korean customers.

With the Vita release creeping up on us fast and the Japanese release set for December 17th, Sony are now pulling out all the stops and not hesitating to show off the power of the Vita. Me and fellow Koalitioner Carl Daniel were recently invited to drop in and play some of the upcoming Vita titles set for release next year and Reality Fighters happened to be one of the first ones to really stun me.
The first thing I did when picking up the beautiful Vita was enter the quick match menu to give it a quick go. I was presented with a character selection menu that was already full of faces from previous players who had used the Vita camera to create their own fighter. My immediate thought was "Ok screw this, I'm going to make my own fighter too" – so I went back to the main menu and entered the "My Fighter" menu.
I was first presented with a screen that allowed me to capture my face using the Vita's front facing camera. You get a preview on screen so you can correctly position your face for the shot. Once you snap your mug the game renders your face and automatically determines the correct skin tone for your body. Once I was happy with my face I proceeded to the next set of options which allowed me to edit everything from bodily structure, clothing, to weapons.
Reality Fighters is not a game that takes itself too seriously, so you'll find a vast selection of silly clothing items and weapons. Embracing the stupidity I chose to drape my digital fighter in geeks glasses, boxers shorts and a trench coat; with a plumber as a weapon, a nice finishing touch. For my fighting style I chose Capoeira in honor of certain characters from a more serious fighting franchise.
After outfitting my fighter it was time to hit the ring. I first played a quick match and dominated the A.I without much effort at all. Reality Fighters doesn't exactly require as much skill as your average fighter, but it is surprisingly very fun to play. You have your basic punch and kick combos as well as special attacks that can be used once your meter is full. You can also use whatever weapon you assign to your character at any time during the fight. As you can imagine it was a fun sight smacking around opponents with a plumber.
The real amazing feature that is being pushed is the dynamic locations in which you duke it out in. Not only will moving the Vita around allow you to pan the environment as you fight, but the camera can even pick up your real time environment, allowing your fighters to clash in what seems like reality.
I also got to try out the multi-player, allowing me to play against Carl Daniel. Now although Carl didn't fair so well against me, I can speak for us both when I say it was tons of fun, and I can imagine people enjoying creating their fighters and going up against each other for hours on end. At the end of the bout, win or lose, you are able to turn the Vita sideways and flick through a variety of poses with you and your buddy, which you can then save to your Vita's memory.
Overall, after playing I feel as though I underestimated how much fun Reality Fighters was actually going to be the very first time I laid eyes on the game via a Sony montage. Although the whole game did feel somewhat like a tech demo, it was so bizarrely fun that It will make the perfect launch title to get into the Vita experience. Of course they'll be more serious games on offer, but I feel like owning this game along side one of the more serious games will give you a lot of Vita variety. When dealing with handheld gaming, we all need that pick up and play game to enthrall us for a few minutes at the bus station. With the dynamic background capture features, Reality Fighters is the perfect game to carry around on the move.

Q: How to monitor if a network connection is stable during the day We have a mysql server working on Ubuntu server.
Many clients (using a Windows Xp app) give us the "Lost connection to MySQL server during query".
How can I track down the problem?
The server is always fully functional and I don't have any diagnostic idea.
The server is sitting on a VmWare ESXi and has always worked perfectly.

A: Use icpld from http://icpld.northernmost.org
ICPLD is a connection monitor which allows you to keep track of your network connection perfomance. It will log each occasion of broken networking. It runs as a background process, and sends ICMP requests to an ip of your choice. When a reply isn't received within proper amount of time, it will consider the connection as unavailable and put a stamp in its log.

A: You could look in /var/log/mysql.* /var/log/mysql/error.log to see if your server has anything to say about daytime activities.
You could also come up with a simple MySQL transaction that you could run periodically to check response time.
You could adapt this answer to maintain connectivity

In a romance more fitting of When Harry Met Sally than Bachelor in Paradise, AshLee Frazier is now engaged to her longtime friend-turned-boyfriend, Aaron Williams. "Sweethearts forever," she captioned an Instagram photo from the couple's post-engagement dinner at Manhattan's Bar Pitti.
A contestant on season 17 of The Bachelor, Frazier was delightfully swept off her feet when Williams popped the question.
"I was so surprised and trying to hug him all while he was still putting the ring on my shaky finger on the bridge over the water," she told Entertainment Tonight.
The lifestyle blogger said "the entire bridge of people around us roared with cheers."
Frazier also appeared on the first season of Bachelor In Paradise and from the looks of the post-engagement Instagram video she posted, Frazier's found the forever rose she was seeking.
💙 Best walk. Best view. Forever in my heart!

Q: PHP based server using PHP CLI SAPI Is it possible (and practicable) to develop a (simple) server software using the PHP CLI SAPI? Is there some usable way of (real) multi-threading in PHP so the server is able to handle several request simultaneously? Or would you recommend another Scripting language for a project like this (Python or something like that)?

A: Yes it is possible to develop a TCP or UDP server in PHP. Have a look at the set of socket functions in PHP: PHP:Sockets - Manual
Although PHP has no multithreading capabilities you can create simple parallelism using non blocking IO (seesocket_set_nonblock()) along with socket_select()
To answer the question 'Is it practible' it needs more information about the project requirements. Reasons for a 'yes' could be:

*

*You need to integrate the server into an existing PHP class, model framework

*You plan to interexchange PHP data structures using the server. (Might be generated using serialize(), unserialize())

You may find additional reasons for you of course.
Another thing you should note is that when in web server environment (e.g apache SAPI) you already have a parallel TCP server - the web server. You would just have to implement the communication between several requests. You may use PHP's IPC capabilities, a database or at least a file for that communication.

A:
Is it possible (and practicable) to develop a (simple) server software using the PHP CLI SAPI?

There's already one built-in: http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php

Is there some usable way of (real) multi-threading in PHP so the server is able to handle several request simultaneously?

You don't usually do that in PHP, but rather hand it off to a sepparated service (which you can also write in PHP), like http://php.net/manual/en/book.gearman.php

Or would you recomend another Scripting language for a project like this (Phyton or something like that) ?

This one depends on your needs and cannot be answered without more information. Python, Java or Golang may well be better alternatives
Note: PHP is a multithreaded language, but it doesn't expose multithreading capabilities to the scripts' runtime.

Learn why it's important to choose a more comprehensive auto insurance policy.
Your insurance is your safeguard. It helps to protect you from damage and liability. It's a valuable asset to have, yet it's not something that we must use very often. Therefore, you may be tempted to choose a cheap policy. However, use caution when selecting your insurance policy. While a more affordable policy may be kind to your wallet now, it could be costing you more down the line. Check out what you need to know about why comprehensive auto insurance is a better choice than cheap auto coverage.
When it comes to your auto insurance policy, it's important that you consider your deductibles as well as your premiums. With cheaper plans, you often have a higher deductible, which means that if you get into an accident and need to use your policy, you have higher out of pocket costs. Take into consideration how much you'll have to pay out of pocket before your policy kicks in so that you have a more accurate idea of how much your policy will cost. It may wind up costing you more in the long run.
The cheapest policies usually offer the bare minimum when it comes to coverage. Often times, if you get into an accident, your liability coverage isn't going to cover all of the damages. You're likely going to exceed your limits quickly, and you'll need to pay for costly repairs and medical bills.
When it comes to fixing your vehicle after an accident, the cheapest policies often only give coverage to damages caused to other vehicles involved. You're left fixing your car out of pocket. A comprehensive auto insurance policy, however, gives you coverage to repair your vehicle.
When it comes to your auto insurance, ensure that you're getting the best coverage possible. East End Insurance Agency can help you get the coverage that you need. Located in Southold, New York, contact us for all your personal and commercial insurance needs.

The Trowelblazers – IWD 2019 – Rebecca Wragg Sykes

The Trowelblazers - IWD 2019
Dirty Science by Rebecca Wragg Sykes
8th March is International Women's Day. It's become a familiar annual celebration centred on bigging up the women we know personally– and those we don't– who function as our 'sheroes'. For Team TrowelBlazers, IWD is in many senses what we do EVERY day.
Gertrude Bell. One of the better known early women archaeologists.
Our mission is re-setting imaginations around who archaeologists, geologists and palaeontologists were– and are today.
Women have always been there, in larger numbers and doing more awesome stuff, than we've been led to believe by the history books.
For 2019, there's a theme: #BalanceForBetter, a call to action in gender balance whether in the workplace or wider society. So let us be your guides, taking you on a journey through time and space where we'll help adjust your equilibrium to the new dimension where it's women who are at the centre of things. Going waaay back, here are some founding 'trowelblazers' who were all active in 1911, the year of the first ever IWD. While the names Gertrude Bell or Marie Stopes might be familiar, here are three others you've probably not heard of, each with their own fascinating stories.
Nina Frances Layard
Miss Layard was in her own words an Edwardian "flint hunter". But she was very much more: a pioneer in archaeological excavation, she honed her methods at the 300,000 year old hominin site she found at Foxhall Road, Ipswich in 1902. The same year she was made a Fellow of the Anthropological Institute thanks to a decade-long illustrious intellectual career, being the first woman to present her own research before the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1890. Miss Layard was very aware she was pushing boundaries and was accompanied along her challenging path by Mary Frances Outram, who she met in her 40s. In an echo of the traditional 'scholar's wife' role, Mary transcribed much of Nina's work, but was accomplished in her own right as a writer and lecturer. Miss Layard dug Foxhall Road for several years and many other sites, and by 1921 was among the first group of women admitted (grudgingly) to the Society of Antiquaries, then topped that as the first woman President of the Prehistoric Society. She published her last paper aged 82 in 1935, and that summer died just two months after Mary; they were buried in the same grave.
Hilda Urlin Petrie
In 1895, same year Nina Layard met Mary Outram, a a similarly life-altering encounter took place for a younger– but still independent– woman into nature, geology and art: Hilda Urlin. She was introduced to probably an already famous Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie, and he took her on as an illustrator. In less than a year they were married and heading off on honeymoon, throwing Hilda headfirst into a life of desert excavation. Over decades of collaboration, she not only worked on Flinders' digs with a number of other women, but excavated her own sites, including with Margaret Murray, the first ever Lecturer in Archaeology. Another co-worker, Lina Eckenstein at one point accompanied Hilda on a six day trip by train, boat and camel in the desert to join new excavations.
Hilda was perhaps unsurprisingly a strong supporter of women's suffrage, growing up with family friends involved, and supporting various organisations later in her life. Hilda died in 1957, but was outlived by her older friend, research partner and fellow feminist Murray, who wrote her obituary.

Born just two years after Nina Layard, Jane (as she was known) Longstaff's career spiralled very precisely around her great passion: molluscs, especially snails. By her 20s she was already involved in regional scientific societies and sharing her research, and joined the Geologists' Association who, unlike the older Geological Society, were open to women members such as Caroline Birley. Her achievements were so great however, that six years later the Society awarded her the Murchison Award for exceptional work by the under-40s, and when they finally permitted female Fellows in 1919, she was among the first elected exactly a century ago. She published an extraordinary number of papers and travelled widely for her research. In her 50s she married an insect expert, but like so many other early trowelblazers, collaborated through her life with other women including Elizabeth Anderson Grey. She died the same year as Nina Layard.

All these women shine as individual points of light, but zoom out and you see a veritable galaxy of other trowelblazers working in 1911, as IWD emerged from the combined action of millions of women around the world. A century on, we at TrowelBlazers believe it's fundamentally important not only to celebrate the contributions of individuals and the power of women's visibility, but also the impact of connectedness. Role models create a "See It; Be It" spark that sets girls off in pursuing passionate interests, but it's networks and raising each other up by mentoring and collaboration that will keep them in the trowelblazing careers of their dreams.

The University of Hertfordshire: Have you taken your seat yet in the Den?
Have you taken your seat yet in the Den?
You may have noticed on our homepage a familiar icon. The Dragons' Den chairs from the hit television series.
No we haven't adopted them for our office (tempting though), but we have been working hard with our partners to bring you a new online educational programme themed around the television programme Dragons Den.
It's a clever idea. You put yourself in the place of a Dragon and decide how to invest £100k across a number of business opportunities with the aim of making your first million.
Before you're let lose as a Dragon, you learn the theory, covering: strategy, marketing and finance - all essentials for business success. This is presented in easy-to-learn bitesize chunks with activities to test your learning as you go along and feedback on how your skills are improving – just as you would expect for online learning (no dreary long extracts from textbooks here).
Once you've tackled the theory you can then put into practice what you learnt and play the role as a Dragon – where will you make your investment? And this is the clever bit: working through our interactive scenarios, based on real Dragons' Den cases, you invest your dragon cash on the business cases you think will be the most profitable. What is great is you get instant feedback that helps refine your judgement and decision making skills- very helpful for the business world.
Using the programme you become ridiculously competitive seeing if you made it to the top of the leaderboard with the right investment choices (Take that! Dragons!), and yes it is rather fun too. More importantly perhaps is that you're learning business skills, remembering them and putting them into practice in a zero risk environment.
We have to be honest though, this isn't actually completely new. University of Hertfordshire business students have been using the programme as part of their studies for a number of years, to help put into practice some of what they've learnt in their studies.
It also appears in a number of MBA programmes and some large corporations have adopted the Dragons' Den Online Educational Programme to train their staff with too. In fact over 15,000 have experienced the programme so far. We're now releasing the programme as a stand-alone experience which budding entrepreneurs can purchase off the shelf and start straight away. You'll also get a University of Hertfordshire Certificate when you've successfully completed the programme.
Here's a video with a bit more information on our partner's website if you would like to get started on the programme. Best of luck! You have to get your own Dragons' Den chair though unfortunately.

A Flash of Light
"I was blind, but now I see," John Newton famously wrote in Amazing Grace. It's an inspiring story, how Newton had been a slave ship captain but "saw the light" and became a priest, an abolitionist and an ally of William Wilberforce, the British politician who led the movement to abolish the slave trade. Ironically, Newton went physically blind, but was spiritually enlightened.
Saul saw the light, too. Saul was a devout Jew who pursued the earliest followers of Jesus in the years after the first Pentecost. They were called people of The Way, then, and Saul, like many others, saw the new sect as a threat to his faith. He was on his way to Damascus to arrest more and "bring them bound to Jerusalem" (Acts 9:2) when it happened to him. There was a flash of light "from heaven" that knocked him down and he hears the voice of Jesus asking him why he's persecuting him (Jesus) and telling him to go into the city where he'll be told what to do. Saul's blinded for three days until a disciple named Ananias, told by God to visit him, comes to him and says "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit" (Acts 9:17). His sight returns and he's a changed man. He later adopts the name Paul and becomes the great builder of the earliest church communities.
The thing is, I think, we often portray these "see the light" moments as just that, a moment. A sudden flash, a light bulb goes on and everything's changed.
If only it were that simple.
John Newton marks a moment in which he called out to God during a storm at sea in March of 1748 as the beginning of his spiritual conversion. He continued working in the slave trade until a stroke forced him to retire in 1754, though he continued to invest in it for a few more years. He became a priest in 1764. Amazing Grace (and other hymns) appeared in 1779. It wasn't until 1788 that he began to speak forcefully against the slave trade and he lived to see the Abolition Act passed in 1807, dying shortly afterwards. He would acknowledge, late in life, that it took him many years from that moment at sea to find his way.
Saul's moment was a beginning, too, and not just three days of blindness. I think it took him a while to really get into that conversion moment. Conversion, by the way, comes form a latin word meaning simply to turn about. He certainly did that. He stopped what he was doing, but he needed to learn things, he needed to experience things, he needed to find his way from being a good Jew to a good follower of Jesus. He needed to understand what was happening. And that was a challenge at first because the very community he wanted to join was afraid of him: they didn't believe that he had changed (Acts 9:21-30). It took some time.
Conversions begin with a change - a change of heart - but it takes work to live into the change and make transformation happen. We begin to see more clearly and hear more deeply, we learn and experience, we taste life and we live it with all our senses, not just sight. That's what leads us to what is true.
It takes time and, of course, that means uniquely our own time. Finding love, grace, respect, compassion, truth - these aren't new things. They're already in us. This isn't about religious dogma or tradition or culture, it's about finding what's true in each of us and following that path. We are each unique individuals, but we are one in being created in the image of God and God is love. There are many paths to God.
These conversion experiences don't make something new out of nothing. They make something truly you out of everything you are.

Catholic Institutions Must Say No to Pro-Abortion Politics
Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 by Susan Brinkmann
By Susan Brinkmann, OCDS Staff Writer (Feb. 28, 2008) A rash of recent stump speeches by pro-abortion politicians on Catholic premises has promoted a coalition of 18 Catholic organizations to demand that these institutions "get their priorities straight." "We call on Catholic institutions to join us in refusing to honor or provide a public forum for any political leader or candidate who acts 'in defiance of our fundamental moral principles,'" reads the public statement released February 26 by The Cardinal Newman Society, a group that works to renew the Catholic identity of colleges and universities, and the leader of the coalition. "This includes any politician who undermines a 'culture of life' by advocating public policies to permit or support abortion, physician-assisted suicide, embryonic stem cell research or any other threat to innocent human life," the statement reads. "It also includes politicians who would threaten the institution of marriage." The move was prompted by a series of campaign events by pro-abortion presidential candidates on Catholic colleges, such as the February 13 Hillary Clinton rally at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, which took place over the objections of Archbishop Jose Gomez. Four days later, St. Norbert College in Wisconsin did the same. Obama rallies have also been held at St. Peter's College in New Jersey and Loras College in Iowa last March. "Catholic institutions need to get their priorities straight," said Patrick J. Reilly, president of The Cardinal Newman Society, in an article appearing on InsideCatholic.com. He recounted a phone call he received from the distraught mother of two students at an unnamed Catholic college who called to complain about the school's plans to host Hillary Clinton. "We didn't invite Hillary Clinton," school officials told her. "She asked to come, so we had no choice but to say 'yes' to hosting the campaign rally." Reilly admits, "The college official's lack of sensitivity to scandal was nothing new to my ears, so I confess that I was a bit under-whelmed. These Catholic campus political events featuring pro-abortion politicians have been a problem for years." Reilly's coalition includes the leaders of prominent Catholic institutions such as the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, the Catholic Medical Association, Catholics United for the Faith, Human Life International, Fidelis, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) Morley Publishing/InsideCatholic.com, and the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM). The group's statement affirms what the U.S. bishops have already taught, that "not all issues are equal" in politics: "The direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life from the moment of conception until natural death is always wrong and is not just one issue among many. It must always be opposed." Catholics are called upon to participate fully in political life, but must be guided by a Christian conscience in order to fulfill their vocation of infusing the temporal order with Christian values. "Too often, however, some Catholic institutions pursue a misguided engagement with public policy and politics that compromises and even undermines their Catholic mission," the statement says. "Catholic institutions should engage the culture form a faithfully Catholic perspective, not a position of neutrality. Political engagement does not require partisanship or endorsement of particular candidates. But it also does not require secularization, by which Catholic institutions accept moral relativism and simple mirror secular culture." The coalition is calling upon all Catholic institutions to refuse to honor or provide a public form for any political leader or candidate who acts "in defiance of our fundamental moral principles." This refusal should also include the giving of awards, honorary degrees, graduation and commencement addresses, or participation in lectures, debates, rallies and fundraisers on Catholic premises. © All Rights Reserved, Living His Life Abundantly/Women of Grace. http://www.womenofgrace.com Understand the role of faith in politics.

Trials of the State by Jonathan Sumption review — judging the judges
Is it true that judges have grabbed too much power from politicians, asks Thomas Grant
Thomas Grant
Friday August 16 2019, 12.00pm, The Times
Lord Sumption retired as a Supreme Court judge last year
EYEVINE
Since the Reith lectures started in 1948 they have become the BBC's standing rebuke to accusations of "dumbing down". In the ensuing 70 years lawyers have not featured heavily in the roster of speakers, reputed dryness of tone and abstractness of thought not necessarily making for good radio, however highfalutin.
But it was unsurprising to learn that Lord Sumption, who retired as a Supreme Court judge last year, had been asked to give the 2019 lectures, which are now published in book form as Trials of the State. In recent years it has become near-obligatory to describe Sumption as in possession of "a brain the size of a planet", while his judicial pronouncements and legal papers demonstrated a world view readily transposable to a


There's never enough time to learn everything you want. And it always seems like there's too much other stuff taking up the time you do have. This makes it hard to keep up with your Ruby knowledge.
Books and screencasts are great, but they take time and focus. And doing the dishes, commuting to work, and walking the dog can get boring. It's nice to have those moments to think or relax. But most of the time, I want to take advantage of those minutes of boredom and learn something!
For this, there's nothing better than podcasts. Instead of playing iOS games or checking my email for the dozenth time, I can learn something new about my favorite language.
They cover a lot, and I'm not interested in every episode. But listening to this podcast taught me so much. Practical stuff, too. Things I learned from the Square episode, for example, really influnced our Service Oriented Architecture. The time you spend listening will pay off.
The regular panelists are some of the Rubyists I admire most, the picks are awesome, there are transcripts of each episode (which makes looking things up later really easy), and Parley is one of the best-kept secrets in the Ruby community. It's just a great, well-put-together show.
The first Rails podcast I ever listened to was just relaunched (after almost 5 years!), and it's off to a strong start.
So far, it's been full of great guests and interesting stories, and it's been a lot of fun. I just started listening to it, and I'm really interested in seeing how it grows from here.
So, two good podcasts. But that's not all the knowledge you can squeeze out of the time you have.
There's so much good stuff locked away in conference talks, and not enough time to watch all the videos. But it turns out that a lot of conference talks don't actually need video! And with the right tools, you can treat conference videos like a podcast, too.
To listen to conference talks, I use an iOS app called Swift Player. With Swift, I can download, speed up, and listen to these talks while I commute to and from work. These talks have taught me a lot, so I recommend trying this (or something like it)!
If you don't want to use a dedicated app for this, you can download the videos, extract the audio track and play it using your phone's music player. But that's a little too much work for me.
Now you have a few ways to learn a little Ruby during a few of the spare minutes you can scrape together. So, which ones sound interesting to you? And which of your favorites did I miss?
