Men's Soccer Completes Wild Comeback Against UConn
By sports
October 18, 2017 Updated October 18, 2017 at 1:36 pm
Things looked dark for Boston College men's soccer. But head coach Ed Kelly's squad overcame dim lights and a 2-0 deficit to pull out a 3-2 comeback win in overtime against the University of Connecticut on Tuesday evening.
The Eagles (6-8-0) got off to a rough start against the Huskies. UConn (7-4-2) scored early in the 9th minute on a header by Abdou Mbacke Thiam on a perfect cross to the back post. From there, the battle moved to the midfield. And BC won that battle.
The Eagles dominated possession in the midfield, and for most of the half, the back line held strong. But they were unable to create meaningful chances, often getting got trapped in the wings when they moved the ball forward. BC had to create their chances from far out, including a long-range effort from forward Simon Enstrom that dipped just over the bar in the 39th minute.
The Huskies' strategy was simple: counterattack. With BC comfortably holding the ball in the midfield, UConn had to wait for sloppy or late passes. In the last few minutes of the first half, the Huskies showed that counter attack is lethal. Stealing the ball near their own box, only two passes and a few seconds were needed for shot to the BC's side netting.
The lights came on in the second half. The dim field with dark corners suddenly became clear—someone had forgot to turn the field lights on high. But for BC, it had to get darker before the dawn.
BC applied more pressure, but UConn kept counterattacking. In fact, the only direction they could go in was forward. If there wasn't a man in front, the Huskies lost the ball. But they stilled forced BC's goalie, Antonio Chavez Borelli, to make some magic. In the 56th minute, UConn's Niko Pedris slipped received a through ball to go one on one with the goalie. Chavez Borelli came off his line and blocked the shot. In 63rd, a brilliant backheel through ball by Mbacke Thiam setup Munir Saleh to go one one with Chavez Borelli. He bravely went off of his line again, cutting Saleh's angle and forcing him to go to far right and put in a cross. Chavez Borelli saved the header off that one, too.
And then, the darkest point. In the 78th minute, Joshua Forbes sent a lazy pass back to Chavez Borelli. UConn's Austin DaSilva picked it off, dribbled it to the goal line, and for good, unnecessary measure, fired a shot into the back of the net.
And finally, the dawn. BC came roaring back, determined to make their possession and their chances finally count. Callum Johnson sent a beautiful pass behind the defense to the running Simon Enstrom, who hammered home a shot long in the making to the top left corner. The keeper didn't have a chance, and the Eagles cut the lead in half.
BC desperately sought the equalizer, and it came in the most romantic of minutes: the 90th. A long throw into UConn's box by Heidar Aegisson, helped by nudging head of Rafael Salama, found Forbes at the far post. It had to find him there, and of course Forbes had to head it in. The Eagles had their equalizer, and Forbes had his redemption.
The Eagles and the Huskies went into sudden-death overtime. In the first 10-minute half, BC had chances. But in the second half, it had its golden goal, courtesy of Callum Johnson after 103 minutes of play. A cross into Uconn's box was weakly parried outside of the box. Callum Johnson didn't need a touch. From outside of the box, he buried a one-timer into the bottom left corner for a BC overtime victory. Someone might have thought it was déja vu. Callum Johnson had just scored an overtime game-winner against Syracuse last Friday.
The Eagles rallied back from a 2-0 deficit, scoring three unanswered goals against a UConn team that had only let up eight in its previous games. For most of the game, BC kept possession and kept the pressure on UConn. But it wouldn't have been possible without the impeccable performance of Chavez Borelli. The resilience of the team was not lost on Kelly.
"We have a lot of fight, they're starting to really believe it in. The effort, the character, it was like, 'How do we come back?' Josh gives a goal away and then he scores one in the last 45 seconds or something" Kelly said. "Just the fight was tremendous, they just wouldn't give in. They're tough, I mean they're tough. It was a great win for us, great character stuff."
With this win, the Eagles have momentum going into Saturday's game against a fearsome Wake Forest team, currently ranked No. 2 in the nation. Kelly is optimistic, though.
"There's no stopping us," Kelly said. "I mean if we can do that, we can go out and do anything."

Freight train blamed for grass..
Freight train blamed for grass fire
A freight train has been blamed for a grassfire that shut down the Seymour and Craigieburn lines last night.
Fifteen CFA units were called to the blaze, which burnt a significant area of land near the train tracks last night.
The Craigieburn and Seymour lines were shut down for two hours, leaving passengers stranded.
V/Line trains had no role in starting the fire, as earlier mooted.
V/LINE STATEMENT
V/Line rejects claims that a V/Line of train caused a grassfire at Craigieburn last night.
Our Network Customer Centre was notified of a grassfire near Craigieburn at around 6:15pm and the CFA requested V/Line trains to be held as a safety precaution.
A freight train with a faulty brake was in the area when the blaze started.
The 17:11 Southern Cross to Seymour service terminated at Craigieburn Station and coaches were organised for customers to continue their journey.
The 17:37 Southern Cross to Seymour service terminated at Coolaroo and the 18:30 Seymour to Southern Cross terminated at Wallan and coaches were organised.
The 18:02 Southern Cross to Albury was delayed more than two hours because it was held at Somerton loop and did not have access to a platform to allow customers to alight safely.
V/Line is not involved in the investigation.

Q: Python threads leak memory I have a test script that starts multiple threads, joins them and checks resident memory used by the process:
from threading import Thread
import resource

def resident_memory() -> int:
    return resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss

def work():
    a = 'Hello world'
    a += '!!!'

def run_threads(count: int) -> None:
    for _ in range(count):
        t = Thread(target=work)
        t.start()
        t.join()

def run_workers(count: int) -> None:
    for _ in range(count):
        work()

while True:
    print('Mem usage:', resident_memory())
    run_threads(10000)
    #run_workers(10000)

It seems like resident memory is constantly growing even though I join the threads.
If I run the work() function in the main thread, no memory leak is detected.
I'm testing with python 3.5.
Is this a known problem?

Impatient Game Of Thrones Fans Have Hijacked Avengers: Infinity War But Can't Decide Who Should Have Thanos' Gauntlet

Normally we'd be looking forward to a new season of Game of Thrones right now
However, as Season 8 will only arrive next year, GoT fans have had to make do with memes
Luckily, Avengers: Infinity War is here to distract them and help them channel their creativity
It's May now, which means that in any normal year, we'd be getting ready for the latest season of Game of Thrones. However, as Season 8 is going to be the last one in the series and will require time to make, there's nothing new coming from Westeros in 2018.
While we wait for HBO, messrs Benioff and Weiss and the cast and crew of Game of Thrones to work on the rumored feature-length six episodes of the final season of George RR Martin's masterpiece, the Internet has had a gala time whipping up some fantastic new memes in an effort to keep spirits high during these trying times. The memes have hijacked the recent Avengers: Infinity War extravaganza that has broken global opening records at the box-office!

Now, there are actually different opinions as to who should really wield the Infinity Gauntlet. Two strong cases have been made:
1. George R R Martin - this works for a very good reason. Author GRRM is perhaps the biggest villain in Game of Thrones as no character, however important, is safe so long as he's around. In a way, his pen (old DOS Computer, to be specific) is his Infinity Gauntlet
2. Ser Jaime Lannister who memorably lost an arm at Harrenhal which took away most of his legendary fighting prowess and then replaced it with a metal prosthetic crafted by Maester Qyburne. It appears as though Jaime's fake arm has evolved:

Effect of nano Si addition on synthesized LTO for lithium battery anode
Anne Zulfia Syahrial,, R. Satria, Bambang Priyono, A. Subhan
Department of Metallurgical and Material Engineering
Li4Ti5O12 or LTO is one of many compounds that could be used as anode component in lithium battery. The most interesting aspect of using LTO as an anode is its long cycle life which is affected by its zero strain property during insertion and extraction of lithium ions. Despite its advantages, LTO still has problem in its capacity value which is limited to 175 mAh/g. Researchers have tried many methods to increase the capacity of LTO, such as making a composite from LTO host. In this composite, nano sized Si is used as additional element because its high theoretical capacity could increase the overall capacity of the LTO composite. In this research, LTO was synthesized by hydrothermal-mechanochemical methods before we mix it with nano Si in slurry making process. The mass variation of nano Si was 1%, 5%, and 10% in wt. XRD and SEM were used for material characterization. For the battery performance testing we used EIS, CV, and CD. This research will explain the effect of Si on the LTO/Si composite performance. From the testing, it is known that the highest capacity was obtained from LTO/Si-10% sample with 216.15 mAh/g, and able to retain 42.76% of its capacity at higher C-rate (4C). The results show that LTO/Si-10% could be used as an alternative for anode component.

This app helps you run small-to-medium size events while keeping all the details straight. Let volunteers and attendees sign up right from the app's home page. Track sessions, logistics, committee action items, and more.
i loved the app for its ease of use and clarity - i would have preferred it went the extra step to take the RSVPS and sent individualized outlook invites.
Very easy to use. I like how I can have all my events in one place instead of several different folders!
I'm a Quick Base employee with some experience in creating relational databases. I've built out more than 15 apps in the last 2 years, some of them quite complex and used by dozens of people. I like apps that have some elegant solution as well as being functional and usable.


This year Lunar was there to inspire and enthuse. We called on many knowledgeable, passionate folks and put together a series of walks, talks, workshops and demonstrations designed to share and teach us new nature based skills for life.
Ever wondered why Biophilia shapes us? Or how to deepen our connection to the plants and natural world around us – from the dandelions shining in the cracks to the tree lined streets on our way to work? What are desire lines? How can mushrooms save the world?
If you'd ever wanted to learn how to forage a feast from outside your door and make wine from trees, or wanted to be able to tell a Maple from an Ash or grow your own mushrooms and help clean up our water systems, this was the area for you. You could also learn how to harvest and make your own wild teas and kitchen medicines, learn what plants will help us with our first aid needs, make beautiful baskets with bramble and ivy and even dance to Shrubstep and the music of the wild rose!
This area was not only offering a place for you to get hands on with nature but to also relax amongst it in our wood-fired hot tubs, complete with waiter service. This was a place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the festival! Take a look through a few pictures from Lunar 2018 below to get a feel for what this area was all about!

Physician, Heal Thyself
by Jonetta Rose Barras March 16th, 2001 August 29th, 2020
There LL was, minding her own business, flipping through the filings at the D.C. Superior Court Civil Action Division, and wham! Suddenly she was smack in the middle of the D.C. General Hospital reform opponents' argument about the shaky financial history of Greater Southeast Community Hospital and its new parent company, Doctors Community Healthcare Corp.
Unless there is further congressional intervention—which some irate D.C. councilmembers have privately requested of Rep. Connie Morella, Maryland Republican and chair of the House Government Reform subcommittee on the District, and Rep. Joe Knollenberg, Michigan Republican and chair of the House Appropriations subcommittee on the District—D.C. General, as everyone now knows it, will cease to exist next month. Still, given what LL discovered, the D.C. financial control board and the city government had better closely scrutinize the fiscal operations over at Greater Southeast. The hospital still can't seem to pay its bills—even the small ones.
Servicemaster Healthcare Management Services, based in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., filed a lawsuit in January in Superior Court against Greater Southeast and Doctors, charging that they owe Servicemaster $72,211 for goods and services provided between January and April 2000. The company is being represented by local attorney Neil L. Henrichsen. A stack of unpaid invoices is attached to the court documents, including a bill for $369 worth of toilet paper and $1,103.52 for can liners.
Henrichsen says Servicemaster was told that Doctors didn't have any problems with the company but that hospital officials wanted to switch to another contractor.
"Servicemaster has written letters, but they have gotten no satisfaction," says Henrichsen. "The money is due and owing, and they should have paid it."
But when LL called Greater Southeast last week, the company had a bad case of amnesia. Spokesperson Donna Lewis Johnson initially told LL that the bill was charged up and left unpaid by Greater Southeast's previous owners—which might have worked as an excuse, because that crew couldn't pay its bills, either; Greater Southeast's previous owners fell $70 million in debt, filed for bankruptcy protection, and were subsequently rescued by Doctors, which purchased the hospital for a bargain $30 million.
LL gave Johnson the case number and assured her that the lawsuit indeed names Doctors—which means that the money couldn't be owed by the previous group. Still, there wasn't a cogent response from Greater Southeast. Last Friday, Johnson told LL that Servicemaster and Doctors had reached a settlement regarding the account "months ago." That seemed unlikely, LL replied, because the lawsuit was so fresh the file hadn't yet found a permanent home on the shelf at Superior Court. Twenty minutes later, Johnson called LL yet again, leaving this inexplicable message: "There is no lawsuit that we're aware of."
The folks at Greater Southeast and Doctors appear to be New Age creative-visualization acolytes who believe that if they just close their eyes, meditate, and imagine they are debt-free, their bills will magically disappear, and there won't be any red ink, lawsuits, or annoying journalists wanting to know why a company that is proposing to take over the operation of the city's only public hospital to the tune of nearly half a billion dollars can't muster $72,000 to clear its account with a company that already has provided the contracted services.
Who knows what will happen? Maybe Part 2 of the fiscal rescue plan for Greater Southeast and Doctors is their pending health-care contract with the District. One thing seems certain: Servicemaster had better not hold its breath waiting to be paid.
FUNNY MONEY
In early November last year, Mayor Anthony A. Williams sponsored a fundraiser at Tony Cheng's restaurant in downtown D.C. Williams' deputy chief of staff, Mark A. Jones, helped coordinate the event, which tapped the wallets of Asian business leaders and political activists. The money from the fundraiser was supposed to go into the coffers of the D.C. Democratic State Committee (DSC), the apparatus that pushes the Democratic agenda in the District and represents local Democrats' interests in the national party machine.
Over the past two years, according to some members of the executive committee, who spoke to LL on the condition their names not be used, the DSC has swirled in organizational and fiscal chaos, fueled mostly by infighting and inept leadership. Now, questions are being raised about what happened to the money from the November event. Sources say that more than $20,000 was raised but that $4,000 remains unaccounted for.
"Where's the money?" asks one executive-committee member. "There were money orders, traveler's checks, and people just don't know what happened."
"There was about $4,000 in checks that had been written out to the mayor," says another source, explaining that the checks were to be rewritten to the state committee and returned. "[But] they haven't. It could just be something innocent. But that's what people are upset about."
Norman Neverson, chair of the DSC, says he doesn't know exactly how much was collected but puts the range at somewhere between $18,000 and $23,000. "I personally did not count the money," Neverson says, adding that Frank Wilds, who chairs the group of chairpersons for all the DSC's subcommittees, "undertook that responsibility."
Wilds says he turned $18,825 over to Robert Artisst Sr., the committee's treasurer. He says some checks were returned to Cheng because they were made out to Friends of the Mayor. "We couldn't deposit them. We gave them back to Tony [Cheng]; he was supposed to have people rewrite them and give them back to us. But we never got them back."
Wilds says he had nothing else to do with accounting for donations from the Cheng event after dropping the money off with Artisst. But he says he has raised "questions about the financial statements of the party."
Artisst confirms that Wilds delivered the proceeds from the fundraiser to his Ward 5 home; Artisst says he did not attend the event. "There were about a half-dozen postal money orders; I didn't see any traveler's checks. If there were any traveler's checks, we weren't the recipient of them.
"I understand there were some checks I never received that were made out to the Friends of Tony Williams," Artisst continues. "They had to go back. I got word that there was more money forthcoming, but I have not received any of it to date."
Neverson told LL that he was "not familiar with any returned checks."
Artisst says that he filed a report, as required, with the D.C. Office of Campaign Finance. That report, he says, provides all the information about donations received from the Cheng fundraiser. But a review of the DSC's "Report of Receipts and Expenditures for Candidate or Political Committee" only adds to the confusion. The initial filing, covering June 11, 2000, through Jan. 31, 2001, indicates that the committee's total receipts for that period were $17,525, including membership dues and other donations. However, an attached "balance sheet" dated Nov. 9, 2000, states that the amount raised from the fundraiser was $18,817.42. An itemized list of the exact amounts paid by each contributor, also attached to the report, indicates a "grand total" of $19,775.
An amended report, signed, once again, by Artisst, and filed on Feb. 12, 2001, fails to clear up the discrepancies, however. The amended report covers October through December 2000, and total receipts reported are $42,969.98. The "balance sheet" and "mayoral fundraiser" attachments have been removed.
The financial issues serve as the backdrop for growing questions and concerns about the current leadership of the state committee. "[The leaders] don't inspire," says yet another source. "They use their position of authority to destroy, dismantle, and get back or take revenge."
Neverson was elected last year to head the state committee. In 1999, he became chair of the Ward 4 Democratic organization, following a contentious election in which the previous officers refused to seat him and others elected on his slate. Sources say that Neverson is once again under fire in Ward 4 because many active members are not satisfied with his handling of affairs. The next election of officers will take place in June, and there are reports that he may be in trouble.
"The lines of divisiveness that came about in the 1999 election have not been healed," explains Neverson, who notes that he is not worried about his re-election. "The people decide who they want to lead them."
GROWING UP, STANDING UP, AND THROWING UP
The annual battle between the executive and legislative branches over funding and public policy priorities began in earnest this week, when Williams released his proposed budget and financial plan for fiscal 2002. The D.C. Council already has begun to scrutinize the $5.3 billion plan, and not surprisingly, the first committee to hold public hearings is Mayor-in-Wanting Kevin Chavous' Committee on Education, Libraries, and Recreation.
The council and the mayor have 60 days to finalize the document before submitting it to Congress, where it will be further scrutinized, although Knollenberg has promised not to follow that body's traditional ritual of tacking on social riders that reflect the Republican Party's agenda.
Although the Williams administration calls the proposed budget "fiscally conservative," there is no doubt it was designed to provide a platform for the mayor's re-election bid. He appears to be targeting residents east of the Anacostia River as well as those low-income citizens throughout the city caught in the squeeze of the District's escalating real estate market. Further, by incorporating measures to address some of the pet issues and concerns expressed by councilmembers in private meetings with mayoral staff, Williams is hoping to court legislators while reducing the rancor that has accompanied past budget deliberations.
The budget continues the mayor's trend, begun last year when he dubbed himself the "Education Mayor," of adding millions of dollars to the school system's operating budget. This year, he includes some new money for operations, but the most sizable increase is in the capital budget, where the mayor has placed $174 million to renovate and build new schools. Senior citizens in Anacostia, a dependable voting population, will get an $8 million wellness center from capital improvement funds. The proposed budget increases the earned-income tax credit for low-income residents who were left on the sidelines two years ago by the tax cut pushed through by the council for businesses and the middle class. Councilmembers introduced the tax-credit concept last year, and it remains a favorite of theirs, giving the mayor a twofer: brownie points with legislators and with the poor. And the budget provides new spending to help stabilize the affordable housing stock in the District.
It will be hard for councilmembers, several of whom will be looking to construct their own re-election platforms, to dismiss many of Williams' proposals. At the same time, attaching themselves to his initiatives could undermine their own efforts to claim any real territory for themselves to cite in their own campaign literature.
On Monday, when Williams released his budget, the smiling and praise heaped on the executive by councilmembers, including Nemesis of Tony David Catania, were unprecedented. During the last two budget cycles, the clashes between the mayor and the council have turned nasty, and their differences have seemed insurmountable. The result has been that the control board has played referee. But the board, which will disband on Sept. 30, has indicated that it will henceforth refrain from intervening, leaving the mayor and council to work through any differences and develop a consensus budget. Although at first glance it may seem that there will be few clashes, LL isn't betting next month's rent. As a couple of lawmakers, including Ward 6's Sharon Ambrose and Ward 8's Sandy Allen, noted, "The devil is in the details," and those smiling councilmembers on Monday morning hadn't drilled down into the specifics of the document.
The tenor of the budget discourse over the next two months will prove whether the council has grown up, and willing to make the hard choices that are in the best interests of the District's long-term future. It also will prove whether the mayor is willing to stand up, refusing to be intimidated when lawmakers make politically popular but fiscally irresponsible choices. In the end, however, the budget debate may just leave LL and other residents ready to throw up, watching the selfish interests of politicians override the needs of the people they are supposed to be serving. —Jonetta Rose Barras

Rhyl beach a hit with overseas tourists
They buck the trend by doubling the numbers of visitors in 2012
Alex Hickey
Rhyl Beach
SUNNY Rhyl still seems to be a big hit with tourists from overseas.
The Denbighshire coastal resort saw twice as many overseas visitors soak up its charms last year.
While the rest of North Wales saw a drop in foreign travellers last year 10,000 went to Rhyl - 5,000 more than the year before.
There were similar rises in other more traditional resorts with Colwyn up by 6,000 to 11,000 last year and Colwyn Bay up to 10,000 from 6,000 in 2011.
The owner of Rhyl's Pier Hotel, Wayne Whitehouse expressed surprise and delight at the town's performance.
Wayne said: "We have been busy last year and funnily enough there has been a lot of international travellers staying but I wouldn't have expected it to rise by so much.
"The majority of our guests from overseas are from Australia and America but to be honest the majority of our guest are up here on business."
But he believes Rhyl has much to offer the more discerning foreign visitor to these shores.
"It has a lovely coastal stretch, and we have the coastal path and some people stop here on their way to Holyhead, or other parts of North Wales.
"We have had quite a few in because for Zip World, the new zip-wire attraction in Snowdonia but you also get walking groups for the Offah's Dyke path."
There has also been a rise in people from overseas staying to research their family history.
"The majority of our overseas guests are from Australia and many of them have family links to Rhyl."
Whatever the reason Wayne is delighted that the often mocked town can still draw in the visitors whether from home or abroad - even when it is competing against the London Olympics.

Subject: Minutes of the sixth meeting of the Committee set up to examine feasibility of implementation of recommendation of the 7th CPC for revision of pension of pre 2016 pensioners held on 06.10.2016 – reg.
The Minutes of the sixth meeting of the Committee set up to examine feasibility of implementation of recommendation of the 7th CPC for revision of pension of pre 2016 pensioners held under the Chairmanship of Secretary (Pension) with JCM (Staff Side) on 6.10.2016 at Sardar Patel Bhawan, New Delhi is hereby forwarded for information and further necessary action.
Minutes of the meeting of the Committee set up to examine feasibility of implementation of recommendation of Seventh CPC for revision of pension of Pre-2016 pensioners held on 6.10.2016 at Sardar Patel Bhawan, New Delhi.
The 6th Meeting of the committee for examination of feasibility of implementation of recommendations of Seventh Central Pay Commission for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners was held under the Chairmanship of Shri C, Viswanath, Secretary (Pension) on 6.10.2016 at Sardar Patel Bhawan, New Delhi This meeting was called for seeking the views of the Staff side of JCM on the feasibility of implementation of the first option for revision of pension of pre 2016 pensioners recommended by the Seventh Central Pay Commission.
1.Sh. Ashok Kumar Dash, Member (Personnel), Department of Posts.
5.Sh. Sanjay Singh, Chief Controller (Pension), CPAO (representing Controller General of Accounts).
6.Sh. Tanveer Ahmed, Executive Director, Railway Board (representing Member (Staff)).
1.Shri Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary, JCM.
4. Welcoming Members of the Committee and the representatives of JCM (Staff Side), Secretary (Pension) requested Additional Secretary (Pension) to make a presentation.
5. In her presentation, Add! Secretary (Pension) brought out the position regarding the requirement of records and the factors which may affect the feasibility of arriving at the notional pay in Seventh CPC by counting increments in the last scale of pay as recommended by the Pay . Commission. She also mentioned about the anomalies that are likely to arise in the process. The presentation brought out the methodology adopted by the Committee to examine the feasibility of the first option and the finding of the Committee in this regard. She mentioned that the service records for increment method may not be available in around 18.3% of the cases. The difficulties in extracting the information from the records and determining the exact number of the increments for revision of pension under first option were explained. She indicated that the Committee has found that the alternative method of arriving at notional pay in Seventh CPC by applying formula for pay revision for serving employees in each Pay Commission and giving 50% of this as pension to be beneficial to all pensioners in comparison to the fitment method.
6. Thereafter, Secretary (Pension) requested the Members of the JCM (Staff Side) for their views on the feasibility of the first option.
8. The JCM (Staff side) mentioned that the Cabinet has approved revision of pension by the first option (increment method), if its implementation is found feasible after examination by the Committee. They mentioned that in addition to the Service Book/ Personal File, the details of increments earned can be ascertained from the Gradation/Seniority List issued by the Departments from time to time. Therefore, one cannot say that the first option recommended by the Pay Commission is not feasible on the grounds of non-availability of records. In regard to the perceived anomalies, the Staff side stated that anomalies arose in implementation of the recommendations of all previous Pay Commissions. Such anomalies can always be rectified through the mechanism of Anomaly Committee.
9, On the alternate method of revision of pension by notional pay . fixation in each Pay Commission, the Staff side felt that the pensioners who are likely to get higher benefit by increments method may not accept revision 'of pension by pay fixation method. This may, therefore, lead to litigation.
10. After detailed discussion, the staff side sought time to consider the alternate method of fixation of notional pay in each intervening Pay Commission for revision of pension as on 1.1.2016 before submitting their final views in this regard. It was, accordingly, decided to have another meeting with the JCM (Staff side) on 17.10.2016 at 10.00 A.M.
11. The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the chair.
Implementation of Government's decisions on the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission-Revision of Pension of pre-2016 pensioners/family pensioners.
I retired as Dy Manager of FCI ( Food Transferee ) on 31-3-1995 in the pay scale of Rs 3000-100-3500-125-4500.
Such being the case how can the Secretaries committee can say that all particulars may not be available for us to exercise option I for prent 2016/2006 pensioners. The whole idea is to deprive the pensioners, the benefit of 7CPC recommendation.
Sir your letter is wonderfully drafted with relevant points. So kindly fight for achieving this. We stand by your side sir.
CPAO, New Delhi has issued final pension authority after implementation of 6th CPC wherein they have indicated pay bend and grade pay as per 6th CPC. The said final CPAO authority provides important details required for implementing 1st option recommended by 7th CPC. There may be very few cases where some difficulty may arise but even in those cases Anomoly Committee can find solution. Under these circumstances there is no feasibility problem. The 7th CPC must have considered feasibility aspect as well while recommending first option. The effect of this recommendation is to bridge the wide gap that exists between pensions of two retirees who retired from same post decades apart.
If records are not available for 18.3% of pensioners how they are drawing pension? The committee may ask those pensoiners to give details if they have or the pension paying office/Bank can give details available with them and the committee can check if it is correct. The other 81% of pensioners whose records are available should not be kept as hostages. The committee cannot go back on the implementation as govt has accepted it.
Alternatively as usually done announce ,an interim relief to such pensioners pending finalization.. Many of the pensioners may not enjoy the benefit if the decision is delayed. Decision delayed means benefit denied.
I'm, Raju as rigger (sk) , Industrial worker ,I,mworking non-industrial unit vizag, but not industrial benefits ,so I want industrial benefits, transfor, overtime dutes, rolls.
What is the progress on this issue of option one for the pre 2016 pensioners?
Please ask/request/ suggest to the govt to start fixing pension who opt for option-1 and let them find the feasibility. The person who opts for option -1 would be having all the inputs available with him to feed the data if found by dept unfeasible. First start the exercise/ process. there should not be any further delay. Just on hypothetical in-feasibility one should not be denied his due.
SR officers may not have been affected by the anamolies created by 6th pay commission and as such they have created a point of feasibility .Otherwise when all the old pensioners are getting their pensions per the orders of their respected pal .New pension can also be fixed by pal. Only in those case where the posts have either been abolished or renamed there may be some anomoly which can be taken care of by anamolies commission.If there is no anamolies why the govt spending crors on such commissions for their upkeep.. Govt therefore implement 1st option without delay.
First option is most beneficial to pensioners who retired after serving long periods withoutgetting promotion. As stated above even as per the government, only in about 18% cases there will be problem in getting information. It is most unreasonable to deny first option in respect of the remaning 82% if it is beneficial to them. The payment of pension at 2.57 is only interim arrangement suggested by the 7th cpc and its main recommendation is parity with those retiring after 1-1-2016. In the circumstances , the only alternative acceptable method is to allow three options, first option as per 7th cpc, second option as suggested by the committee and the third,a residuary one , multification of basic pension with 2.57 and leave the option to the pensioner. He can also be asked to produce material available with him in support of his option. B.Appi Reddy, Guntur.

It's common in many companies for there to be animosity between programmers and managers.
Earlier in my career I met many other software developers who loved to complain about management.
And I've been just as frustrated, especially when it seems like management doesn't know what they're doing.
But eventually after having several experiences talking to other programmers I respected, my perspective changed.
In this video I share some stories about software projects I have been on where I was challenged to be enlightened to continue.
I hope these stories help you think about what you can do to take the power of your career back into your own hands.
This is the same issue we deal with in any industry. At one point of my career I was a lineman. Linemen/Engineers didn't get along either. Its a tough problem to solve! Thanks for the video to shed some light on the subject.
Hey Joshua thanks for your insight. That's a good point. I'm only familiar with this dynamic in the tech industry, but I'm sure you're right.
I've been one of them! I try my best to be honest about my part in all of this in the video. Thanks for watching!
Happy to, if I can help even one person avoid some of these mistakes I made in my career, it really makes me feel good!

The Revenant out to cross longstanding frontier in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored By QIPCO)
The Revenant is chasing a slice of history today as he bids to become the first horse in 45 years to win back-to-back editions of the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (sponsored by QIPCO).
Two horses have achieved the feat since the mile highlight has carried Group-race status – the legendary Brigadier Gerard in 1971 and 1972 and top filly Rose Bowl in 1975 and 1976.
In the intervening period, nine horses have tried and failed to retain their crown. Kris and Rip Van Winkle went agonisingly close, with Kris going down by a neck to Known Fact in 1980 and Rip Van Winkle losing out in a head-bob to Poet's Voice in 2010.
The Revenant faces a formidable task if he is to break the mould, with today's opposition spearheaded by the world's top-rated miler Palace Pier and hugely exciting three-year-old Baaeed.
Preparations have followed a familiar path for the French challenger, who lost little in defeat when going down by a short-neck to Real World in Longchamp's G2 Prix Dollar on October 2, a race he won in 2019 and 2020.
Assessing the six-year-old's return from a summer break, trainer Francis Graffard said: "It would have been fantastic for the horse to win the Prix Dollar three years in a row, so of course I was a little bit upset, but the way he finished showed he is still very competitive at the top level and so that was the positive side.
"He hadn't run since May and was probably a little bit rusty. The winner got a start on him, but I was very pleased with him, and he has come out of the race very well.
"I ran him in the spring, but he's not the same horse on fast ground. The autumn is his time of year, and there aren't too many options, so the QEII was always the aim provided the ground is suitable."
The Revenant is making a third appearance in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (sponsored by QIPCO) having also finished second to King Of Change in 2019.
"Two years ago on his first attempt, he ran a fantastic race to finish second to a good horse," said Graffard. "When we went back last year, we were very confident because he had come on a lot for his run at Longchamp. He had his ground, he was spot on, and he delivered, which was very good.
"I have been impressed by Baaeed of course, and with Palace Pier in the race again it will be a very strong renewal. On good ground it would be difficult to beat those horses, but on soft ground The Revenant is a Group One horse and he'll be fighting."
Horses since Rose Bowl who have tried to win back-to-back Queen Elizabeth II Stakes: Kris (1980, 2nd), Sackford (1984, 3rd), Teleprompter (1985, 2nd), Selkirk (1992, 3rd), Bigstone (1994, 3rd), Where Or When (2003, 6th), Rakti (2005*, 4th), Rip Van Winkle (2010, 2nd), Poet's Voice (2011, 6th)

Disabled woman died from 'massive heart attack' after she was repeatedly refused benefits
"The Tories don't actually kill the sick and disabled directly. Instead, they deprive their victims of the money they need to live – so they either starve to death, die of their condition, or take their own lives."
I wrote those words yesterday – and today, we see the truth in them.
The DWP's cruelty to Sandra Burns – subjecting her to repeated assessments, rigging the result so she failed them, and then forcing her to undergo the added stress of challenging the decisions – pushed her beyond her body's ability to cope.
And she died.
Responsibility for that death lies with the Conservative government.
The Tories deny it, of course. They say the reasons for the death of any benefit claimant are complex.
But this woman – and so many others before her – would be alive today if not for the campaign of harassment they waged against her.
That is the only element in her life that can be said to have contributed to the worsening of her condition.
But it is an indirect way of killing. It cannot be said that anybody in the government deliberately decided to kill Ms Burns – so nobody can be accused of committing a crime.
The logical accusation – corporate manslaughter – has never been levelled against the Tories in a serious way.
Why not? Probably because none of the victims – or their families – had the money to take it to court.
That's the corruption at the heart of the UK today.
A disabled woman died from a "massive heart attack" after she was repeatedly refused vital financial support following assessments carried out by a private benefits firm, it has been reported.
Sandra Burns, from Luton, was found dead at the bottom of the stairs at her home on April 16, surrounded by letters from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and over-due utility bills, having suffered what is believed to be a huge heart attack.
Brother Ian told Luton Today: "She was found dead at the foot of her stairs, apparently of a massive heart attack.
"She was surrounded by letters informing her that the gas, electricity, water, telephone and television were all in danger of being cut off."
"This debt and anxiety lay all around her on the floor", he said.
The 57-year-old, who had worked in retail for 30 years before severe back pain caused by five fused vertebrae in her spine forced her to give up working, had failed a number of benefit assessments over a five year period but successfully challenged each decision on appeal.
The disability assessments were carried out by private firm Atos, on behalf of the DWP, who withdrew from a contract to carry out assessments for Employment and Support Allowance following a string of failures and mounting criticism.
Each time she failed an assessment, Ms Burns found herself looking at a mountain of debts while she battled to have the harsh decisions over-turned.
Her Brother said the difficulties of living with a chronic health condition, coupled with having to repeatedly fight for the benefits she desperately needed, caused her health to deteriorate.

Corporate Manslaughter only amounts to a fine, it should lead to prison sentences and a fine, that should also be levied at all responsible, the fine should be noticeable and also there needs to be a separate complaints panel for the assessors that is not run by the assessor companies and includes mandatory reporting to the regulating bodies where there is serious fitness to practice concerns, then the unfit assessors should face a panel of there own and be sanctioned accordingly, a recent example would be a case of a person with dementia who scored zero points, this was overturned at mandatory stage, what has happened to the assessor nothing, what will happen to the assessor nothing, what should happen to the assessor, a panel hearing and striking of or at least suspension, unless they have a similar regulation standard like the NHS then these bad assessors will still practice and heaven forbid if there little gravy train ended and they got re-employed back into the NHS, ask yourself one question? Would you trust a wca assessor to care for you or a relative/friend in a NHS Enviroment?
and from luton, oh there at least three extremely unfit assessors there, I been assessed by two of them and have seen some other's as well

With the NBA Draft just around the corner, I think it's time that we take some time to acclimate ourselves with some guys that will almost definitely make an impact in the league. Specifically, I'm referring to the exceptional point guard from Memphis, Derrick Rose, who went mostly under the national radar due to his playing for Conference USA team Memphis. A great tidbit that I read several times throughout his freshman season was that Rose was called "Winnie the Pooh" by his grandmother when he was a kid. She said it was because he was chubby and yellow. Derrick capitalized on this someone crass reference to his skin tone, which he parlayed into the magical ballhandling persona called "Poohdini." I was nearly sure that it was an instance of Wikipedia graffiti when I read that he had a tattoo of a wizard wielding a basketball on his shoulder, accompanied by a script application of the moniker. Research proved to be difficult, especially before the tournament, but exceptional examples prove that this is indeed true. Something about this kid's game tells me that this will one day be common knowledge.
These were on the bag that my new keyboard at work. Pretty humorous, if you ask me.
This letter remains one of my all-time favorite instances of the song of unrequited love. There's some real classic stuff here. It was found at a toy store in an extremely affluent section of Dallas called Highland Park, either discarded by the target of the affection, abandoned by the hopeless suitor, or just lost. I really love to think about how old the kid was who wrote it and how he sounded when he spit the lyrics of this rap/song/poem. Solid gold.

Growing up in rural North Carolina, Moises Serrano fell in love with a country that refused to recognize his full humanity - both as an undocumented immigrant and as a gay man. The documentary Forbidden follows Moises' personal journey as an activist fighting for the American Dream.
is to bring awareness and urgency to basic human rights issues.
Our mission is to bring awareness and urgency to basic human rights issues. Moises faces significant hurdles based on his undocumented status, his sexuality, and the limited resources available living in a rural area. His story of personal transformation inspires audiences to ask reflective questions: How can obstacles in our lives lead us to our life purpose? How can we create change in our communities, state and country? How can we cultivate more intersectionality between social justice issues?
Moises is an ideal character for challenging stereotypes about undocumented immigrants and same-sex couples. His story relates directly to the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S., and LGBTQ individuals fighting for equality and civil rights.

Is Bud Battling Bob?
blood-sports.net
By: Kirk Jackson
In the past, questions regarding the Nebraska-bred, three-division world champion, posed on many occasion, years ago and since went unanswered.
These very same questions, remain ever-present now, as the fighter affectionately known as "Bud" prepares for his first pay-per-view event of this year as he faces Amir Khan at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
These lingering, unrequited questions – where is the promotion and where is the love for Terence "Bud" Crawford?
The reigning pound-for-pound No.1 fighter continues to fight without the proper fanfare, promotion and appreciation an athlete recognized by many spectators and experts as the one of the best fighters this generation should not accustomed to.
Crawford (34-0, 25 KO's), so far amassing six world titles across three weight divisions (135, 140, 147), while becoming the eighth fighter to become undisputed champion in his/her weight class, unifying all four of the titles at junior welterweight, stakes claim as the best fighter in the sport.
"I am the best boxer in the world – hands down. I can box at range or fight close up, whatever's needed. I can box equally as well on the back foot or the front foot and I have very good sideways movement. I'm a southpaw who is just as comfortable when switching to orthodox," Crawford told Daily Mail.
"I have hand speed as well as punching power and I am excellent defensively I'm an intelligent fighter who adapts to any opponent. I believe I am the complete boxer so, yes, I think I'm the No 1 pound-for-pound."
While Crawford solidified himself as one of the greats of this current era, as a top dog amongst his contemporaries, the wealth of acknowledgement and adoration amongst the casual observer escapes him.
Crawford headlines a pay-per-view for the second time in his professional career and for the first time across ESPN pay-per-view.
Crawford is promoted by Top Rank Boxing. This promotional company is headed by lawyer/boxing promoter Bob Arum and this promotional company behind Crawford, has a multi-media deal with ESPN.
On August 26, 2017, ESPN officially announced a four-year arrangement to become the exclusive broadcaster of Top Rank bouts in the United States and Canada.
The fights are to be circulated through ESPN's television and digital platforms (including Spanish-language ESPN Deportes), the ESPN+ subscription streaming service, and pay-per-view. ESPN broadcast 18 cards in the first year of the deal. Most recently as of August of last year, ESPN announced an extension of the agreement through 2025 – same year Crawford's contract with Top Rank ends.
The question begs, is Top Rank and ESPN properly promoting the fight? Aside from a brief feature on ESPN's First Take, the network hardly mentions the fight.
This past Monday, Top Rank finally released the countdown video and this past Thursday ESPN+ released a subscriber friendly breakdown show titled Ring Science, featuring ESPN analyst Andre Ward.

On the opposite of the spectrum as an example, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KO's) made an appearance during this year's NCAA Final Four across a featured segment, generating roughly 13.77 million viewers. Wilder of course is advised and promoted through different representation.
ESPN and its network affiliates has a deal with the National Basketball Association, broadcasting NBA games through the regular season and throughout the playoffs. The NBA playoffs are in full swing, why isn't Crawford featured and exposed more towards the ESPN audiences?
Another example to analyze is while fighting under the Top Rank banner, Manny Pacquiao was promoted extensively by Arum. Albeit his name was conveniently attached to the biggest pay-per-view attraction in sport (Floyd Mayweather) and subsequently other pay-per-view attractions such as Miguel Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya and even preceding those names, guys such as Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera.
The fact remains, Pacquiao was heavily promoted, celebrated and relished the benefits of his professional success and collective promotional efforts from Arum and others.
Crawford has yet to hit that mark, nor receive similar support. All is not lost however. The shining light, is the chance Crawford links up with a up-and-coming super-star at some point in the near future.
Coincidently, Crawford has a dancing partner, who happens to be another top welterweight and pound-for-pound contemporary. That fighter is IBF champion, Errol "The Truth" Spence (25-0, 19 KO's).
"I want the fight. Let me just say that right now," Crawford told TMZ Sports in reference to facing Spence. "Just to show the world I'm the best welterweight in the division."
Crawford realizes a match against Spence will be considered his legacy fight.
"The Truth" is his Marvelous Marvin Hagler, his Sugar Ray Leonard, his Tommy Hearns. Ostensibly, Arum agrees and views Spence as the main opponent for Crawford's legacy at the weight.
"They have one fighter, Errol Spence," Arum said to The Los Angeles Times.
"There's no doubt in my mind that Errol Spence wants the fight as much as Crawford wants it. So if Terence wins, I'll call Al Haymon and work to sit down and make the fight. It's not rocket science that this has to happen. We can sit down and make the fight in one day just like we did for Mayweather-Pacquiao. If a promoter blocks that fight, he ought to be ashamed."
The legendary promoter echoed sentiments of the fighters, trainers, fans, anyone encompassed in the world of boxing and familiar with Spence and Crawford.
Crawford vs. Spence is the fight to make, but Khan should not be disrespected as an afterthought.
The old adage is true, fights are not won on paper and Khan is a former world champion. And if Crawford is to get past Khan, it's not a guarantee Crawford vs. Spence happens.
It can be argued Arum kept the Mayweather-Pacquiao from occurring sooner, at its height (as far as physical primes for each respective fighter goes).
Heck, what kept the fight between Crawford and Pacquiao from happening? Crawford mentioned many times over the years his desire to fight Pacquiao – much to Freddie Roach's chagrin.
For whichever reason, in spite of sharing the same promotional company for many years, the fight between Crawford and Pacquiao never materialized. Crawford was never presented his opportunity to attempt seizing the torch from one of boxing's icons.
Due to the Nebraskan's contract with Top Rank, he may never encounter an opportunity to take center stage.
This is not to suggest Crawford is not happy with his current deal and overall set-up with Top Rank. Upon resigning with Top Rank in collaboration with ESPN, Crawford voiced his pleasure with the deal.
"I am the best fighter in the world, hands down. ESPN is the biggest brand in sports, and Top Rank is the biggest promotional company in boxing," Crawford said. "This was a no-brainer for me and my team. All of the super fights that the world wants to see will happen. Mark my words. Like I've said before, I want all of the champions in the welterweight division."
The issue is the difficulty of fan-friendly fights, particularly in the welterweight division featuring Crawford and the elite fights of that class.
Nearly all of the other welterweight champions belong to manager Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions stable. The PBC recently entered a long-term deal to televise its fights on Showtime and Fox. Top Rank is with ESPN and typically fighters compete exclusively on their respective networks. Which means slim chances of securing Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Errol Spence, Adrien Broner, Manny Pacquiao (again), etc.
The concern also revolves around the promotional aspect regarding the game's top talent.
"Bud" is an affectionate term used to address Crawford. It's been the case since his youth. But the term bud also holds significance to Crawford's situation.
The definition of a bud, is a small swelling that is underdeveloped or not yet fully developed. Bud can also come in the form of plantation for example; a bud can refer to a tiny flower, not yet opened or reached maturity.
From an in-ring performance standpoint, "Bud" is at the pinnacle of his prowess. Regarding earning potential and recognition from an overall tycoon standpoint, former Top Rank fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya, Mayweather, Cotto and Pacquiao serve as examples impersonation.
But every situation varies for each fighter. Time will indicate how "Bud" blossums.
