IPL 2018,SRH vs RCB: Kane and Shakib al lead SRH to 146
For Hyderabad fast bowler Mohammad Siraj, it was a dream come true when Indian and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli paid a visit to his residence in Towli Chowki on Sunday night. Alex Hales departed for 5 runs while Shikhar Dhawan went down after scoring 13 runs. In his illustrious career, which is expected to last at least 8 more years, Virat has broken many records and established himself as a legend of the game. Williamson's innings was studded with five boundaries and two huge sixes. However, the run rate started dropping significantly with his departure, and RCB lost another two wickets of AB de Villiers and Moeen Ali in the next two consecutive overs.
After restricting Sunrisers to a manageable 146, the visitors began their chase on a promising note, and looked comfortable at 60/2 before the innings derailed with three quick wickets as they eventually ended on 141/6.
Rashid was denied the wicket of the Bangalore captain after Kane Williamson dropped a relatively easy slips catch, following an outside edge from Kohli.
For the Sunrisers, Shakib Al Hasan scalped 2, including Parthiv Patel and Virat Kohli. Kohli managed to score 39 runs off 30 deliveries.
RCB's woes compounded in the next over when Afghanistan's wonder spinner Rashid went through the defence of risky AB de Villiers (5) with a wrong'un.
RCB now will have to rely on results from other matches to see if they finish in the top 4.

"If you have strong characters in the team you can always do well in such a tournament".
SRH know their primary strength is bowling, so they don't try to be fancy with the bat.
Sunrisers are the pacesetters after 10 matches of the 2018 edition, with their latest success moving them two points clear at the summit.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has been on a roll this season but same could not be said for their opponent of the day. Sandeep Sharma, Basil Thampi, Rashid Khan and Yusuf Pathan also bagged a wicket each. He and Mandeep Singh (21no off 23) did their best to knock off the required runs but, in the face of some superb Sunrisers bowling, they fell short.
Williamson then walked in and together with Shakib denied the tourists any more inroads till the 16th over, even as the New Zealander brought up his eighth IPL half century in 35 balls.
With the win, Sunrisers move to the top of the IPL table while Bangalore remain stuck in sixth.

AIADMK leadership tussle: EPS, OPS supporters clash in Chennai
11 Jul-2022 10:15 AM
Chennai: Supporters of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) E Palaniswami (EPS) and O Panneerselvam (OPS) clashed on the streets of Chennai ahead of the general council meeting amid a Madras court order that gave a go-ahead for the meeting to be held today.
The HC rejected a plea by OPS and allowed the general council meeting, which proposes to revive the interim general secretary post and abolish coordinator as well as joint coordinator posts to be held.
The party general council chaired by presidium chairman A Tamil Mahan Hussain commenced after the court's nod.
OPS supporter, Kolathur District Secretary, Krishnamurthy got hit by a stone thrown by EPS supporters at the party headquarters. The supporters of OPS and EPS also burnt posters and banners ahead of the meeting.
After the demise of Jayalalithaa in 2016, the party has been following a dual-leadership formula with EPS as co-coordinator and OPS as coordinator. The clamour has been growing louder for a single leader in the party since the district secretary meeting on June 14 this year.
In comparison to OPS, EPS enjoys the support of a large number of party MLAs and district secretaries and today's meeting is expected to elevate EPS to the post of general secretary and abolish the dual leadership structure.
E Palaniswami arrived at the party office for the General Council meeting. Workers gathered in large number to welcome EPS holding banners with the slogans such as "EPS as single leader".
Among those gathered outside the party headquarters was a man dressed up as AIADMK founder MGR.
AIADMK Presidium Chairman Tamil Magan Hussain on June 23 announced that they have decided to hold the next General Council Meeting (after the one that took place on June 23) of AIADMK at 9.15 a.m. on July 11.
Earlier on Sunday, the EPS camp of AIADMK held a discussion at the residence of EPS in Tamil Nadu.
After all the 23 resolutions of the General Committee members were rejected, the supporters of O Panneerselvam-- who wanted to have the dual leadership format in the party continue-- staged a walkout from the meeting.
"All members rejected all the 23 resolutions and the only demand of General Committee members is on single leadership. When the next General Committee meeting is convened, all these along with the resolutions for single leadership will be adopted," AIADMK Deputy Coordinator KP Munusamy had said.
He further expressed that whenever the next General Council Meeting would happen, all the 23 resolutions and a single leadership resolution will be passed.
Former Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami, former Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam and other leaders of the party were also present at the June 23 meeting.
Palaniswami has been eyeing single leadership in the party and his camp is pushing for passing a resolution in the said regard during the June 23 meeting, while Panneerselvam claimed that the general body could not pass the resolution without his signature as per the party bylaw.
Both the camps held several rounds of talks to resolve the issue but remained unsuccessful.
OPS had also written a letter to EPS demanding postponement of the general body meeting citing a "confused situation" in the party which the AIADMK co-coordinator denied. In comparison to OPS, EPS enjoys the support of a large number of party MLAs and district secretaries.
Amid all this drama, OPS' long-time loyalists had also joined the EPS camp.
On Tuesday, Thiruvallur District Secretary Alexander and Puducherry State Secretary Anbalagan extended their support to EPS.
Amid a controversy over the issue of single leadership in AIADMK between OPS and EPS, the former had held an "individual meeting" with his supporters and district secretaries at the party office here. (ANI)

U.S. Tells Rwanda to Stop Supporting Rebels in DR Congo
Congo News Agency - July 2, 2012
U.S. Department of State spokesperson Victoria Nuland
The U.S. has told Rwanda to stop supporting rebels in eastern Congo after an annex to a U.N. report published on Friday said that top Rwandan officials have provided weapons, ammunitions and men to a new rebellion led by warlord Bosco Ntaganda, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges.
A statement released on Saturday by U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that the United States "are deeply concerned about the report's findings that Rwanda is implicated in the provision of support to Congolese rebel groups, including mutinous elements now operating as the M23 armed group."
The U.S. has "asked Rwanda to halt and prevent the provision of such support from its territory," the statement said.
The United States had come under pressure from the Congolese government and rights groups after the release of the annex was reportedly blocked by U.S. officials at the U.N. The move was seen as yet another cover-up for Rwandan President Paul Kagame, a U.S. ally in Africa's Great Lakes region, who many consider a dictator maintaining his hold on power with an iron fist and an easy trigger.
Despite multiple U.N. and rights groups' reports dating as far back as the late nineties, Rwanda has increasingly felt emboldened by the unwavering support it has received from the U.S. and the U.K., while its officials have repeatedly been implicated in political repression at home and war crimes in eastern Congo.
Rights groups have called on the United States and the United Kingdom to stop providing close to 350 million dollars in aid each year to Rwanda as long as the authorities in Kigali continue to use their tax-payers' money to fund rebels across the border in DR Congo.
As late as it may have come, the statement from the U.S. will certainly be welcomed by many Congolese and observers of the Great Lakes region, who will see it as a sign that the U.S. will not continue to condone human rights abuses and the fueling of wars by an ally.

'Do you want everybody in this country to be vegetarian?' SC asks NGO seeking meat export ban
'Do you want everybody in this country to be vegetarian?' SC asks NGO seeking meat export ban
Replying to the PIL, a single judge bench of Justice Lokur wondered whether the NGOs want everybody in this country to be a vegetarian.
October 12, 2018 4:04:45 pm
Last year in May, the central government had issued a direction which imposed a ban on sale and purchase of cattle from animal markets for the purpose of slaughtering.
The Supreme Court today categorically stated that it can't issue an order forcing everyone to be a vegetarian in India. Justice Madan B Lokur made the observation during the hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by two NGOs. The Healthy Wealthy Ethical World and Guide India Trust had filed the PIL and sought a ban on export of meat, according to Indian Express report.
Replying to the PIL, a single judge bench of Justice Lokur wondered whether the NGOs want everybody in this country to be a vegetarian. "Do you want everybody in this country to be a vegetarian?" asked Lokur. Justice Lokur has also fixed February as the next date for the hearing.
Last year in May, the central government had issued a direction which imposed a ban on sale and purchase of cattle from animal markets for the purpose of slaughtering. The "Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Regulation of Livestock Markets) Rules, 2017" was notified by the Environment Ministry under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
However, Madras High Court has issued an interim direction staying the Centre's direction. Later in July 2017, the Supreme Court had said that the stay would remain in force and extended it to the "entire country."

Huawei has launched its latest P30 series phones in the Kenyan market, with the P30 Pro series retailing at Ksh99, 999 ($1,000), the P30 at Ksh72, 999 ($730), and the P30 Lite at Ksh29, 999 ($300). The Huawei P30 Pro sports an in-display fingerprint scanner, 3D curved glass body, FullView display, GPU Turbo 3.0 support, triple rear camera setup, ultra-wide angle lens and is water and dust resistant.The Huawei P30 Pro has been launched in India at Rs. 71,990. Taken with the P30's f/1.8 aperture and 204,800 max ISO and the P30 Pro's f/1.6 aperture, optical image stabilisation and a mad-for-a-smartphone ISO of 409,600 and it's not surprising that Huawei's latest snaps low-light images like nothing you've ever seen before. "With the launch of Huawei P30 Series in India, we are rewriting the rules and reshaping everyone's perception of mobile photography".
On the design front, the P30 Pro flaunts a 6.47-inch OLED dewdrop display with minimal bezel on the screen and a resolution of 2340×1080 pixels. The P30 Pro is dubbed a "quad camera" with numerous imaging options.
I also played around with the "Pro" modes of the camera that weren't as accessible to a photo newbie as they were to me now, and took some... interesting shots. Achieving a record-high overall DxOMark score of 112, the HUAWEI P30 Pro is equipped with a new Leica Quad Camera System, including a 40 MP main camera with the HUWAI SuperSpectrum Sensor, a 20 MP ultra-wide angle camera, an 8 MP telephoto camera, the HUAWEI ToF Camera and the 32 MP front camera. Best of all, it has a high-fidelity magnification feature, with 5X optical zoom, 10X hybrid zoom and 50X digital zoom. "And the new 32 MP front-facing camera is a selfie game-changer".
HUAWEI believes its recently-released P30 Pro smartphone is on course to become the company's most popular handset in South Africa.
Li said that that the phones bring technology and art together to deliver an experience that rivals DSLR cameras, without needing external accessories. The phone which runs on Huawei's flagship processor Octa Core Kirin 980 houses EMUI 9.1 based on the Android 9.0 Pie.

Are you looking for hotels near Disneyland? I have the perfect property for you, and it's somewhere I have stayed at twice this year, it's Grand Legacy at The Park and it's only a five minute walk. Here are a few more reasons why you should stay near Disneyland at Grand Legacy.
Looking for hotels near Disneyland? Read this.
Disclosure: I did receive one night complimentary in exchange for this post but I did pay for four nights on my own because I truly enjoy my stay at Grand Legacy.
It must be close (our feet can't handle the extra few minutes of walking at the end of the day).
It had to be clean.
It was a no-brainer, being that we had already stayed at Grand Legacy at The Park – we both had it at the top of our list and so I reached out to the good people at Grand Legacy to see if they wanted to share the stay here on The Bewitchin' Kitchen.
1. It's right across from the main gate.
This is a huge plus! Trust me with this, you don't want to walk 20 minutes to your hotel after a day at The Park. I remember my first trip to Disneyland, and one night I was limping back to Grand Legacy wondering how anyone else could walk any further (we do long days at Disney haha). Then our next trip our "close hotel" ended up being a 20 minute walk and yeah, go with the short option. It's worth every penny (more on the penny later).
I have walked out of plenty of hotels in the past, I have a high standard of cleanliness and it's something that I don't apologize for. In my two stays at Grand Legacy at The Park I have never had a complaint.
3. They have amazing food.
I loved The Fifth Rooftop Restaurant and Lounge so much I wrote about it last January. The tacos my friends, oh the tacos – SO good! Check out the blog post (completely with what we ate) and don't forget that when you stay at the hotel that when you check out (and showed proof with receipt) you get $2o off the hotel stay (with a purchase of $50 or more, if you spend over $25, it's a $10 credit to your bill).
Bonus: Amazing views from The Fifth. Grab a cocktail, or hot cocoa and watch the fireworks or take in the beautiful night views of Disneyland.
4. There are convenient stores and fast food options downstairs.
This is one of the big pluses for us! Whenever we stay at hotels, we like night snacks but Disney snacks are pricey. There was a taco shop (good tacos too), an ice cream store, a pizza store, and a convenience store at the front of Grand Legacy at The Park. It was so convenient for when we had some cravings at the end of a long day.
This was especially appreciated after our first day when we had to leave the park because our son was in so much pain. His ear was killing him after the flight, and having a spot to purchase medicine and supplies at the hotel is incredibly helpful when you travel with a family.
5. The pool is quiet.
The pool is also cold. They're advertised as heated, but I couldn't do it (it very well could be because it was January and December when we were guests). With that being said, that didn't stop my son (does it ever stop the kids?). The plus? Both times we visited we found the pools at night to be quiet, and a great way to get that last bit of energy out of the five year old while I relax in the hot tub (warm and comfy).
Another bonus? Near the kid's section (across from the splash park) the pool is a gradual entry, which is great for the littles! I really loved this feature. On our last day, we spent an hour at the pool (while enjoying a coffee) watching our son have so much fun. I appreciated that I didn't have to be in there with him, and he liked his independence.
6. You can watch the fireworks from your room.
The Grand Legacy has a motel entrance to your room, where you enter from the outside. The benefit to that is you can stand on the walkway and have a beautiful view of the fireworks.
Note: if you have a family suite in the new tower, your window looks out to Disneyland.
Since traveling to the US means international travel for our family, we have days where we have our phones turned off (to save on data/roaming fees). So it's nice that at the end of the day I can switch to wifi and check my emails, share some photos, and wind down from a busy day at Disneyland.
8. It's close to other restaurants and shopping at the Garden Walk.
It's roughly a ten minute walk (or a 15 minute pregnant waddle) over to the Anaheim Garden Walk where you can do some light shopping, eat at the Cheesecake Factory, hang at The House of Blues, or hit the gym at 24 Hour Fitness.
9. Fridge and microwave in every room.
I don't think I need to expand on this, but it's so handy to have!
I find so much value in free breakfasts! I'm not a breakfast eater, so I don't like going to restaurants to sit down for breaky. Grand Legacy at The Park changed what they do from last time, they don't offer a continental breakfast anymore, instead, they have a snack bag. We had a granola bar, apple, and another little snack. I preferred this as we could take it to the park.
The big downside? No coffee. We didn't like this option, it's part of our morning routine to have my husband grab us a coffee and bring it back, so we can sip it as we get ready. To get a cup of coffee Eric had to go two doors down to Dennys (which I'm not a fan of, even their coffee) so it was a pain. The rooms do come with a coffee maker, but we don't like using in-room coffee makers (I'll save you the reasons why). This was the big downside to Grand Legacy. Is it a deal breaker? No, not at all but my husband said he would rather a cheap continental with simple toast if that meant he could have his coffee at a convenient distance.
Finally, the price. You get beat it with the value you receive. To my husband and I, we find a lot of value in the saying "time is money". Stay at the Grand Legacy at the Park saves us time with our walks to and from the park and we find the cost of the convenience to be worth it (and it's not expensive). I have seen rates as low as $96 (US) a night, but they do go higher at higher seasons. Keep in mind that you do have to pay for parking, but if you're flying into SNA simply for Disneyland, take an Uber. You don't need to drive. In fact: the first trip we did the whole Universal Studios adventure in addition to Disney and rented a car just for that day. We saved money on the rental and the parking fee for that.
Randa's Tip: I have stayed in both the Deluxe room and the Premier Room. The Premier room is a tad bit bigger and I recommend the upgrade. That little bit of extra space is appreciated. The downside is there is no closet, but there is a wardrobe to organize your clothes in addition to the dresser. If you're wondering, we were in room 147 and prefered the ground floor (no hauling strollers up and down stairs or waiting for elevators). It was a little noisy with the elevator right across, so maybe request a few rooms down.
While you're planning your stay at The Grand Legacy, check out some of the other things to do in Southern California.
For more information, please visit the Grand Legacy's website, I highly recommend them. It's one of the best hotels near Disneyland.

We always stay at the park when we go to Disney. We've never stayed her before though. I think we'll have to give it a try on our next trip. Thanks!
I will have to give this a try whenever I do Disneyland. Thanks for the recco! Looks like you had a great time.
This looks like a nice place to stay! I agree 100% it HAS to be clean!!
Glad to hear this is as beautiful and clean inside as it looks from the outside. I've walked past this hotel quite a few times. Now I know – I'd love to stay there next time!
Wow this looks like a great place to stay. I have never been to this hotel but I have been to a different local hotel chain that I was not a fan of near the park, I would love to stay here instead next time!
This is great information, my biggest traveling issue is where are we going to stay. I want close like you mentioned. I also have two kids so that changes up what I'm willing to deal with. Looks like a winner to me.
It's perfect for families! We went back to the hotel a lot this trip (I'm pregnant and we had a five year old that was exhausted), it's so nice that it was so close.
I would love to crash there. Being that close to park is hard to beat.
I almost stayed there a few years ago. Now I am kicking myself!
How fun! I have never been to Disneyland before, but I'll definitely have to keep these tips in mind. Thanks for sharing them!
Location is the most important thing to check when I choose a hotel for us to stay. Love that this one is right across from the main gate. Thanks for the info. Will keep this hotel in mind.


Walmart today unveiled a new associate education benefit designed to remove barriers to college enrollment and graduation. The program reflects the company's commitment to train and educate workers to advance in the jobs of today -- and the future.
In partnership with Guild Education, a leading education benefits platform, Walmart associates will be able to access affordable, high-quality associate's and bachelor's degrees in Business or Supply Chain Management. Under the program, which will be made available to all U.S. associates, Walmart will subsidize the cost of higher education, beyond financial aid and an associate contribution equivalent to $1 a day. Degrees will be offered through the University of Florida Online, Brandman University and Bellevue University – nonprofit schools selected for their focus and outcomes on serving working adult learners.
"Walmart is making a significant investment in its workforce that will not just help the company, but help shift how our society moves towards more affordable and accessible pathways for individuals to be recognized and rewarded for their work-based skills and knowledge, resulting in high-quality, relevant credentials. We applaud Walmart's efforts, "said Jamie Merisotis, president and chief executive officer of the Lumina Foundation.
"I commend Walmart for trying an innovative strategy to increase the skills and post-secondary education of its workers and for committing to having the Lumina Foundation conduct and independent evaluation of the program. I look forward to studying Lumina's findings," said Alan Krueger, professor of economics, Princeton University.

Douglas Todd: How to debate immigration without distorting facts and foes
Douglas Todd
Immigration boosters have to stop labelling their opponents as deplorables, xenophobes and racists, says former top immigration official Andrew Griffith. On the other hand, immigration critics should avoid lobbing around terms such as liberals and the elites. Griffith also points to the factual flaws in each side's arguments.	Jean Levac / PNG
Canada is one of the few advanced countries that can't seem to hold an authentic public discussion about immigration policy.
Canadian boosters of high immigration and those who oppose it are mutually contemptuous. Their verbal boxing matches are dominated by sloganeering and name-calling.
If Ottawa is ever going to take seriously public opinion to fine-tune its immigration policies, the combatants need to follow a few rules. They may need a referee, who acts fairly when others are losing their heads.
Andrew Griffith may not realize it, but he has just stepped forward to be the mediator between those who advocate more open borders and those who seek greater restrictions.
The high-level Immigration Department official, who has helped draw up the country's citizenship policies, took early retirement to undergo cancer treatment.
But his time away from the bureaucracy has inspired him to write books and a compelling essay just published by the journal Policy Options, titled, "How to debate immigration policy in Canada."
I've experienced Griffith's diplomat-like poise. Occasionally, I've tried to get him to air stronger opinions, yet he doesn't take the bait. He's committed to even-handedness.
But he's also realistic. To use an edgier phrase than he might, Griffith realizes Canadians are pretty pitiful at openly discussing immigration issues.
Like others, Griffith suggests fear of being labelled xenophobic is the over-riding contributor to Canadians' unusual silence on mass migration, which has arguably defined this country more than any other.
It doesn't help the cause of dialogue that almost no politician, and few academics, will critique how Canada's approach to the complexities of immigration affects the host society.
As Simon Fraser University's Sanjay Jeram recently said, Canada needs politicians, and the public, to more thoroughly air varied views on how migration impacts economic issues, especially salaries, housing prices, rental costs, traffic congestion and the social-safety net.
Sanjay Jeram: Why Canadians need to debate immigration economics
Douglas Todd: The view from the migration sector bubble
Douglas Todd: As ethnic enclaves expand, will Canadians trust erode?
Before explaining Griffith's incisive guidelines for how to fight fairly, it's worth mentioning the source of Canadians' too-hot-to-handle avoidance of immigration issues.
In the 1990s, I assumed people who complained about political correctness were mostly just opposed to social-justice causes. But, increasingly, even the left wing has grown frustrated by PC over-protectiveness.
A recent Angus Reid poll found seven in 10 Canadians say political correctness has "gone too far," leading them to routinely self-censor. That's higher than even in the U.S.
Four of five Canadians, especially millennials, also agree: "These days it seems like you can't say anything without someone's feelings being offended."
SFU's Sanjay Jeram urges Canadians to openly discuss economic immigration issues.
Since Griffith assumes Canada will always welcome immigrants, international students and temporary foreign workers, he believes we've got to be less afraid of discussing the process required to make sure that succeeds.
The Immigration Department insider first examines the arguments put forward by the boosters; the people, usually from the corporate world, who want to dramatically hike migration rates.
He cites the Century Initiative and Justin Trudeau's Advisory Council on Economic Growth, which include people who want Canada's population to hit 100 million, soon. Griffith could also have named flag-bearers from the media, such as Doug Saunders, author of Maximum Canada.
Griffiths has pearls of wisdom for how the advocates could fight more fairly and logically.
Advocates of expanded immigration have to stop labelling their opponents as deplorables, xenophobes and racists, he says.
I've found stereotyping of opponents is common among boosters, and the media, who are also prone to refer to immigration-skeptic political parties as anti-immigrant, far right and xenophobic.
Griffith doesn't mention it, but a better word for such parties would be nativist, defined as those who seek to reduce current immigration flows to protect elements of their culture.
Many nativist parties, such as those in Finland, Denmark and Italy, are not economically right wing. They stand for policies Canada's left can only dream about, like generous welfare, universal daycare and free higher education.
Griffith's second most important criticism of immigration apologists is they're predilection to make sweeping claims about economic prosperity.
Advocates should "avoid using catchy round numbers without substantiation," Griffith says. Instead of focusing on how migration can increase the GDP, they need to examine its mixed regional impacts and its dubious effects on average incomes.
Griffith says a study by UBC economists Craig Widdell and David Green and Carleton University's Christopher Worswick found "neither a positive nor a negative impact of immigration on jobs and wages."
Griffith also urges boosters to stop:
• Arguing Canada is a vast empty land that needs to be filled, while turning a blind eye to how almost all migrants move to its major cities.
• Ignoring how technology will likely reduce the number of jobs for domestic and immigrant Canadians, who increasingly have poorer economic outcomes.
• Claiming immigrants are "more entrepreneurial," while overlooking most who go into business open small-scale retail outlets and very few start major companies.
• Dismissing critics' concerns about newcomers arriving with different cultural "values."
• Denying the rise of ethnic enclaves and how slow integration can be costly to the host society, the social safety net and immigrants themselves.
Griffith raises equally valid criticisms of those who want to restrict immigration.
Too many critics, he says, seize on individual examples to assign negative characteristics to ethno-cultural groups, "such as by labelling all Muslims as extremists."
I also support Griffith in urging critics to rely less on anecdotes, more on statistical evidence.
In addition, Griffith urges critics to stop:
• Looking at mainly the costs of immigration, while overlooking any benefits.
• Failing to appreciate surveys that explain "the similarities and differences between Canadian-born and foreign-born people."
• Over-using labels such as elites or liberals.
By reducing the rhetorical mistakes of each camp, Griffith believes Canadians could finally have a constructive debate over mass migration.
"Debate is normal and healthy," he says, "provided that it is conducted in a respectful and thoughtful manner."
Can Canadians, who take pride in their niceness, step up to the plate — and model how to openly discuss immigration in a way that is both more real and more civil?

(1903–91). When King Haakon VII of Norway died in 1957, he was succeeded on the throne by his only child, Olaf Alexander Edward Christian Frederik, who took the name Olaf V. The new king was a grandson of England's King Edward VII and a great-grandson of Queen Victoria.
He was born on July 2, 1903, at Appleton House near Sandringham, England. His father, Prince Charles of Denmark, had not yet become king of Norway (see Haakon, kings of Norway). His mother was Princess Maud. Olaf attended the Norwegian Military Academy and Balliol College at the University of Oxford in England. As a skier he distinguished himself in the Holmenkollen competition held outside Oslo, Norway. He was also an outstanding yachtsman, winning a gold medal in the 1928 Olympic Games at Amsterdam, The Netherlands. On March 21, 1929, he married Princess Martha of Sweden. She died in 1954. They had two daughters and one son, all of whom married commoners.
When German armies occupied Norway in 1940 during World War II, Olaf offered to stay behind and resist the Nazis, but he fled to England with the royal family and the government. In 1944 Olaf was named head of Norway's armed forces. He returned to his country in May 1945. Olaf served as Norway's king for 33 years and was succeeded by his son Harald after his death on Jan. 17, 1991.

Everyday Health Diet & Nutrition Weight
The Fat Acceptance Movement
The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance is leading the fat power movement with political action, education, and support for obese people.
By Jan Sheehan

More than 60 percent of Americans are currently obese or overweight. Skyrocketing obesity rates have brought widespread attention from the medical community and public health officials in recent years due to the health consequences of packing on pounds. But people dealing with obesity are throwing their weight around, too.
The fat acceptance movement, spearheaded by the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), has been waving the fat power banner and gaining recognition for the movement. Members of NAAFA even took their message of fat power to Congress in 2009, meeting with the staff of 45 senators and representatives to address concerns of the fat acceptance movement.
Recently, Everyday Health spoke with NAAFA co-chair Frances White about the fat acceptance movement, fat power, and NAAFA.
Everyday Health: What is the fat acceptance movement?
Frances White: The fat acceptance movement champions a new kind of beauty that is not defined by the size of your waist. Supporters of the fat acceptance movement work to fight size discrimination. Most people in the fat acceptance movement have an issue with the words "obese" and "obesity," which seem overtly prejudiced and negative. We prefer the words "fat" and "fat power."
EH: Who started NAAFA and why?
White: An engineer named Bill Fabrey founded the NAAFA in 1969 because he was tired of the discrimination his overweight wife faced. He saw the need for an organization to support fat people. He started by placing an ad in the Village Voice; six people answered. That same year, the organization was incorporated in the state of New York. We now have 11,000 members nationwide, a monthly e-newsletter, and an annual convention, which will be held this year in San Francisco.
EH: What is the main goal of NAAFA?
White: NAAFA is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to fighting the stigma of obesity and eliminating discrimination based on body size. NAAFA does this through education, advocacy, and support. At our conventions, we have self-empowering obesity workshops, movement classes, dances, a plus-size fashion show, and a vendor fair where large-size people can buy attractive fashions and accessories. We've also launched a $1,000 scholarship fund to encourage fashion design students to think about obesity-related designs and consider going into the plus-size fashion world. We also strive to get our message across with political advocacy.
EH: Do obese people in America face discrimination?
White: Obesity discrimination is common in this country. In fact, it's one of the last publicly accepted discriminatory practices. Fat people face discrimination in employment, the ability to adopt children, and in receiving unbiased health care. The New England Journal of Medicine documented that an equally qualified fat person will earn about $7,000 less per year than an average sized person. Parents in several states report having their children taken away by social services because the child is fat and therefore it's considered that the parent is abusing the child. Some states and municipalities have started passing laws prohibiting weight discrimination. States and cities with such laws include Michigan, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Santa Cruz, Calif.
EH: Do you feel fat people are unfairly pressured to lose weight?
White: Yes. Many people struggling with obesity are told by medical professionals that they would not treat an obese person until that person loses weight. But that same doctor would not hesitate to recommend potentially dangerous bypass surgery. The fat acceptance movement is opposed to drastic weight-loss diets and weight-loss surgery. Evidence suggests that 95 to 98 percent of diets designed to lose weight fail after five years. Yet our thin-obsessed society believes that fat people must lose weight in order to be healthy and happy. This is perpetuated by the $49 million-a-year diet industry that has a vested interest in discrimination against fat people. The NAAFA and most people in the fat acceptance movement oppose making changes to one's body at the request of another person.
EH: Critics of the fat acceptance movement say that the movement gives a stamp of approval to obesity, which is linked to serious health problems including heart disease, diabetes, joint problems, and reduced life expectancy. They also contend that fat power and the fat acceptance movement discourage obese people from trying to get to a healthy weight. Can you reply to these criticisms of the fat acceptance movement?
White: We in the fat acceptance movement believe that people of all sizes and shapes should strive for fitness and good health. Even though I'm fat, I make healthy food choices and get movement into my life. There is too much blame placed at the door of fat people in the war on obesity. Fat people are blamed for increased health care costs, even though people who are not fat also get heart attacks, have high blood pressure, and develop diabetes. The fat acceptance movement promotes "health at every size." This means that everyone should pursue optimum mental and physical health regardless of physical appearance, obesity, or size.
EH: What do you think of the 600-pound woman in New Jersey who is trying to reach 1,000 pounds to win the title of the world's fattest woman?
White: I think it is a really odd goal to have. We feel that everyone should be free to have the body one is slated to have genetically and not feel pressured to conform to the standards of a thin-obsessed society. We certainly don't support the idea of getting fat just for the sake of winning a title. Instead, the goal of the fat acceptance movement is a society in which everyone is respected and valued regardless of his or her size.

I'm heading to the west coast to visit some old friends, and I thought I'd take a moment to talk about three individuals who've had a huge impact on my life. Beginning with the first friend I made in Chicago, Deja Sue.
I met Deja Sue at some point in the year 2000. We were both taking improv classes at the Annoyance theater and we were both in the same level 1 class. I had recently dropped out of both high school and college and was honing my chops as an actor. Deja Sue rode 2 stops on the Brown line train with me after our first class. Little did I know we'd be great friends for the next 16 years.
Our friend Patrick had a wicked huge collection of wine bottles.
We took several more classes together and worked the improv circuit for awhile. I did tech for her critically acclaimed sketch show with Tony Mendoza called "The Sniffs". That show was later accepted to the San Fransisco Sketch Festival and we flew out together to do the show. Serendipitously, we are meeting out there again. This time for two burlesque shows Deja Sue is performing in.
At some point we started talking less and less. We had a good 2 year period where I don't think we really heard from one another. We were still in each others top 8 on MySpace, so we'll always have that. But it was harder to stay in touch back then.
Deja Sue made me two mix tapes which I still listen to frequently. One featured a performer everyone should become familiar with, Mrs. Miller. A high school? Elementary school? music teacher who sings the classics, including Downtown, which is the track Deja used to introduce me to Miller.
Deja's husband gave me my first tattoo. A tree frog on my right calf. I treasure that thing. I'm going to eventually get another frog on my opposite calf so that I have "frog legs". Alex is hooking me up with another tattoo on this trip, but it's going to be something a little more intensive. The frog will have to wait.
Deja's favorite movie is Showgirls, and we used to watch it together. Long before the special edition DVD came out with the awesome commentary track. We used to sit in her garden studio and laugh. "Where are you from?" "Different places!"
I was thrilled when 5 years ago, Deja Sue joined the cast of the Kiss Kiss Cabaret, which I was working for as a stage manager and sound engineer. Deja was a natural. I remember her first act, which I believe utilized some custom garbage cans that Alex made for her. That was just the start. Deja Sue's costumes have become somewhat legendary in Chicago. I know several performers who have confessed being heavily influenced by them.
Deja Sue Hits the Kiss Kiss Cabaret stage.
At the time, Deja was living way south west in Chicago. So we didn't get to see each other much. So selfishly, her getting cast in KKC was one of the best things that could have happened. We'd get to hang out at Chipotle before shows and gossip. It was a great way to spend the couple years before she and her husband moved to California.
It's not often that you find people like Deja Sue. She's been a friend when I was a teenager (albeit late teen), when I was an improvisor, when I was scared, when I was cocky, when I was sad, when I was a jerk, and when I became a photographer. Which is to say she's been a friend to me, the real me that maybe I didn't even know yet.
So thank you Deja Sue. I love you and I treasure our friendship.
Here are a few more photos just for funzies. Click on any image to view in a lightbox.
Deja was one of the first 3 people I shot for my Bad Makeup Project, and she set the bar really, really, high.
One of Deja's first acts was a true midwestern chicken dance routine.
Deja always wore her opinions on her chest.
That's a ship on her head.
Deja knows how important it is to have a raven next to your mirror.
Deja has an incredible collection of oddities, including this two headed chick.
I have nothing to say other than this is an awesome shot.
Deja Sue and Taxidermy are joined at the proverbial hip.

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) photography and photogrammetry has long been a balance between weight and the quality of the camera equipment carried.
Low cost camera solutions such as the GoPro can be carried on almost all UAVs because they are small and lightweight, but these benefits are also drawbacks because limited size/fish eye lenses and small image sensors reduce the quality of the photographs they take, together with this the lack of control of many of the camera settings is a drawback.
High quality DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras have superior quality lenses and image sensors together with the fact that they have extensive control of the camera settings meaning that they take much better photographs. But they can only be carried by much higher power/cost octo and hexo-copter systems.
One solution is the lightweight point-and-shoot camera/compact camera used in some mapping solutions, such as those provided by 3DRobotics (Canon PowerShot S100). Although these cameras provide a better quality solution than the GoPro, and may be all that is required for mapping exercises; they are still limited in their optics and higher megapixel sensors which are much more important in the recording of complicated structures and photogrammetry work.
Changes in the camera industry due to competition from the phone industry has enhanced development of a different solution. This is the MILC (Mirrorless Interchangeable-lens camera) or DSLM (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) Camera. These cameras don't have the mirror reflex optical viewfinder of a DSLR camera, and the associated weight, replacing it with a LCD screen or with an app on a mobile device which controls the camera. As a result they have the capability to carry high quality interchangeable lenses without the weight associated with DSLR cameras. The system comes in two different forms; the first resembles a standard digital SLR camera, while the second resembles just a lens with all control being provided by an app on a mobile device.
3DRobotics UAV Mapping Solutions, discussed in another blog entry, carry the Canon PowerShot S100 digital compact camera.
UAVs come in a number of different configurations and increase in price with a higher level of complexity and ability to carry heavier loads.
Gimabls are an important element in stabilizing cameras during photography and video recording, as well as providing a motorized solution to move the camera to a desired angle during flight. They can add significantly to both the weight and price of any UAV solution depending on the camera equipment they are carrying.
The 3DRobotics Iris+ Quadcopter has a payload capacity of 400g which would allow a rather small 15g for a mount to attach a Sony A5000 DSLM or 68g to attach a Sony QX1 Lens-Style Camera without weighing too much, although the system could be flown with excess weight reducing the flight time. A downward facing 3D Printed Sony A5000 Mapping Mount is available for both the Iris+ Quadcopter and X8+ Octocopter, it weighs 36g.
Although the X8+ is a octocopter by definition, it gets over the intrinsic problems of size, weight and cost caused by eight separate arms by having two rotors on each arm, one pointing up and the other downwards. With a maximum payload of 1KG it can carry a Sony A5000 DSLM camera (388g) together with a gimbal such as the DYS 3 Axis Brushless Gimbal for Sony NEX size cameras (609g) to support and move it, the gimbal is designed for the NEX range of cameras, but they are almost identical to the A5000 in design. Although a lighter mount could be used.
The mirror-less camera would seem to provide a solution to the problem of how to carry a high specification camera capable of capturing high quality images on a fairly low-cost UAV solution.
producing a rectangular 360º product. The 360 lens video publisher software gives the ability to sharpen, brighten, add contrast and reduce video noise and output the video as a flv, mov or avi file in various compression ratios. The software costs $99.
The Eye Mirror attaches to a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex), video cameras and underwater cameras, it screws into the camera filter thread on most cameras although adapters are available.
The GP 360 is designed to work with the GoPro series of camera, although a modification to the GoPro is required.
This is a sealed version of the lens designed for underwater work and can be screwed onto the front of many underwater cameras.
The system provides the ability to record 360º photographs/videos with existing cameras, enabling the immersive viewing of both Archaeology site and Cultural Heritage. The created photos/videos can be viewed in a number of ways including the Oculus Reality VR (Virtual Reality) headset.
In order to use the GoPro lens the camera lens needs to be replaced with a custom replacement lens provided by the company, although if damage is sustained during the process the company will fix the camera, or the company will do the replacement for a fee of £40. A firmware update needs to also be conducted.
