Please note what type of applicant you are when reviewing this information. It is much more difficult for some applicants to some universities to receive an acceptance as an international or out-of-state student. This is because some Universities have a bias towards in-state applicants, as they are more likely to work in the state they are a resident of.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes: The End of the Whole Mess
December 20, 2015 March 21, 2016 watchwritenowLeave a comment
This month, the Happen's Kid Critics get a second look at one of the primary names in horror – Stephen King – thanks to this 2006 TNT mini-series adaptation of Nightmares and Dreamscapes his short story collection. As most adult readers (as well as film and television audiences) know, King is the living master of supernatural and psychological horror, with a role call of novels (Carrie, Cujo, The Shining, and Misery to name a few) that have become cultural touchstones as a result of a plethora of adaptations. To introduce the Kid Critics to our latest installment in this series, I posed a couple of key questions. The first, if you could change any one thing about the world, what would it be? And the follow-up question was, what would be the negative consequences of your proposed change? "The End of the Whole Mess" presents the story of filmmaker Howard Fornoy (Ron Livingston) who documents the tragic journey of his genius-level younger brother Robert (Henry Thomas), after he attempts to use his great intellect to solve a major global and societal challenge. The critics tackled this "Mess" with sharp insight.
-TT Stern-Enzi
Different from all the monster horror, this film focuses on the horrors that some people may be living. It points out all the problems of today and puts them into a long, depressing, boring mess. The film focuses so much on the messages it forgets to make it interesting for the audience.
-Henry
"The End of the Whole Mess" centers on humanity's flaws and how the greatest danger is often the one that lies within human nature. The story centers on two brothers, one a genius, the other a prodigious filmmaker who grew up amongst a world of violence, pain and cruelty, and who work together to create world peace, unaware of the consequences it will bring about. The actors, soundtrack, and visual effects all work together to make you feel like everybody is doomed. Nevertheless, I found the movie worth watching and I came away from it depressed but glad that someone out there knows that happy endings aren't always satisfying.
-Eliza
This film is interesting and dark. It makes you think about humanity on a more personal level – for example with all the violence and war now what would happen if it all ended and what the consequences be. While gloomy and morose, the film is also about hope and love between the two brothers, with guilt playing a part as well.

Anticosti Island
Island, Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Lying at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in southeastern Quebec, it is 140 mi (225 km) long; its greatest width is 35 mi (56 km). Visited by Jacques Cartier in 1534, it became part of Quebec province in 1774. Port-Menier is its present-day
and only
settlement. It is now primarily a recreation area.
▪ island, Quebec, Canada
French Île-d'Anticosti,
island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, part of the Côte-Nord region, southeastern Quebec province, Canada. The island is 140 miles (225 km) long, and its greatest width is 35 miles (56 km). Anticosti rises to 625 feet (191 m) in hills along its north coast; it is well forested with spruce, fir, and pine. The island is a hazard to shipping.
The island was discovered by the French navigator Jacques Cartier in 1534 and named Assomption. Since the 17th century, it has been called Anticosti, a name probably derived from the Indian word naticosti, meaning "where bears are hunted."
Granted to the French explorer Louis Jolliet in 1680, it was ceded by France to Great Britain in 1763 and was annexed to Newfoundland. It became part of Quebec province in 1774. After attempts to settle Anticosti failed, it was leased in 1895 by Henri Menier, a French chocolate manufacturer, who developed its resources. Menier's brother Gaston transferred ownership in 1926 to a Canadian paper corporation. Baie-Sainte-Claire was the first permanent settlement, but nearby Port-Menier, also called Baie-Ellis, is the island's only contemporary settlement and is a lumber port.

Q: Why is the output of the following program 2 97 and not 2 2? In the following code why doesn't the address of j gets overwritten in p when we call the foo function?
#include <stdio.h>
        int main()
        {
            int i = 97, *p = &i;
            foo(&i);
            printf("%d ", *p);
        }
        void foo(int *p)
        {
            int j = 2;
            p = &j;
            printf("%d ", *p);
        }

A: You are printing with foo - which sets p to 2,  then you call a print to p, which is still set to 97 in that scope.  foo does not set p globally.

A: Because p in main is another variable than p in the function. Consequently, even if p is changed inside the function, the value of p in main is still the same and still points to 97.
In more details:
    int main()
    {
        int i = 97, *p = &i;  // i is 97 and p points to i
        foo(&i);
        printf("%d ", *p);    // This prints what p points to, i.e. 97
    }
    void foo(int *p)
    {
        int j = 2;   // Here p still points to i in main
        p = &j;      // Now p points to j, i.e. the value 2
        printf("%d ", *p);  // So this prints 2
    }

Just to repeat: The important thing is that p in main and p in foo are two different variables.
If you want the program to print 2 2 you can change the function to:
    void foo(int *p)
    {
        int j = 2;
        *p = j;     // Change this line. This will change i in main
                    // and thereby also the value that p in main points to
        printf("%d ", *p);
    }

A: Below are the steps:
    int main()
    {
        int  i = 97;
        int* p = &i;        // 1. p points to i, i is 97.
        foo(&i);            // 2. Pass the address of i by value.

        printf("%d ", *p);  // 6. Print the value of i as neither p nor i have not changed inside foo().
    }

    // I've renamed the parameter name from p to q for clarity. q is local to
    // foo() only; changes made to q are only visible within foo().
    void foo(int* q)
    {                      // 3. q contains a copy of i's address.
        int j = 2;
        q     = &j;        // 4. q is set to the address of j.

        printf("%d ", *q); // 5. Print the value of j.
    }

If you would have done *q = 2 inside foo() you would have changed i's value to 2. That's because q contains the address of i.

A: The p in main is a different object in memory than the p in foo.  Writing to one has no effect on the other.  If you want foo to update the value of p in main, then you must pass a pointer to p:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i = 97, *p = &i;
    foo(&p);
    printf("%d ", *p);
}

void foo(int **p)
{
    int j = 2;
    *p = &j;
    printf("%d ", **p);
}

WARNING - doing this will invoke undefined behavior, since p will point to an object that no longer exists - once foo exits, j no longer exists, and p will be an invalid pointer.  You may get the output you expect, or you may not.
In order for a function to write to a parameter, you must pass a pointer to that parameter:
void foo( T *ptr )
{
  *ptr = new_value(); // updates the thing ptr points to
}

void bar( void )
{
  T var;              // var is an instance of T
  foo( &var );        // have foo update the value of var
}

This is true for any non-array type T, including pointer types.  If we replace T with the pointer type P *, we get
void foo( P * *ptr )
{
  *ptr = new_value(); // updates the thing ptr points to
}

void bar( void )
{
  P * var;            // var is an instance of P *
  foo( &var );        // have foo update the value of var
}

The semantics are exactly the same - the only thing that's changed is that var starts out as a pointer type.
Things get weird with array types, which we're not going to go into quite yet.

Milan Design Agenda took a look at the best winter activities in Milan for this Christmas 2015. From the best exhibitions and openings to the best foods and sights to see, we have found seven of the best things to do in Milan that you won't miss in this season. Milan is a great European winter destination. Italy's fashion capital transforms over the festive season with streets, shops and statues draped with Christmas sparkle. Whether you are looking to do some luxury Christmas shopping in the famous Quadrilatero d'Oro area, browse for unique souvenirs at the Christmas markets or simply try some traditional Milanese foods, we have found the best places to indulge in the Christmas spirit in Milan.
The opening nigh of La Scala's winter season -this year on 7 December – is an eagerly anticipated event among music lovers. As one of the world's most revered opera houses, and the cultural heart of Milan, it is a must-see while in the city this winter. With 2800 seats and some of the best acoustics in the world, a ticket for the opening night provides the chance to dress up and settle down to watch one of the most best operatic productions in the world.
Winter is an especially beautiful time to visit the capital as the streets transform with festive lights and decorations. A trip to Milan would not be complete without some shopping in the most Milan luxury avenues, such as along Via Montenapoleone or in the Piazza del Duomo. Around the Christmas season shops tend to add some extra magic to their shop windows as well as putting on some tempting discounts and gift options.
Winter is the perfect time to enjoy and warm up with some of Milan's traditional dishes. Start the day off with a cappuccino or espresso and some pastries at Pasticceria Marchesi, founded in 1824 – the Christmassy panetonne della casa is a must. Eating pasta on a trip to Italy has also become a rite of passage and Milan offers some of the very best places to do it. Head to Larte for an impressive menu of fresh pasta dishes, which combines new and classic cuisine with exceptional results.
Although there is much to see and do in Milan over the Christmas period, be sure to take some time out from the seasonal activities for some rest and relaxation. Milan has many lavish spas, perfect for some head-to-toe pampering. Milan Design Agenda recommend the one at the Chateau Monfort hotel, an exclusive refuge for the body and spirit with unique saunas, a Turkish bath and a saltwater swimming pool. After some well-deserved pampering, be sure to enjoy an aperitivo – the timeless tradition of a pre-dinner cocktail accompanied by a small selection of tapas-like dishes.
No visit to Milan would be complete without a trip to the famous Duomo and during the winter it takes on a new lease of heading up to its roof terrace. On a clear day you can take in some truly spectacular views!
This early December festival in honour of Milan's patron saint, Sant'Ambrogio, is know for its festive street market in the grounds of the Castello Sforzesco, which runs from 7 to 8 December. With traditional festive foods, drinks and unique gifts on display, this is a great way to enjoy the spirit of Christmas in Italy.
Where to do shopping in Milan, where to go in Milan, and what to do in Milan have all answers in this Milan City guide dedicated to Christmas!


Read eBooks The Poo Detective [PDF] 100% free!
As an avid reader and reviewer, I was so grateful and excited to win the "Poodle Tales" Book six from Goodreads giveaway. The author also autographed the book.
The Poo Detective, later called P.I.P (Private Investigator Poodle), disliked his nose since it was quite larger than normal. At the time, his nose just didn't fit his face. When others posed to the side for photos, he would grace the photo with his bright smile instead. He didn't feel like he fit in or even liked himself because of it but later he realized he had a great gift with the very thing he despised the most--his nose. It was a great tool for sniffing and finding lost items. He was applauded and awarded of his great achievement of retrieving these lost items, and later his nose grew with his face.
The illustrations were brilliantly done and the author creatively wrote a great story tied around things that our children may go through of not feeling accepted, peer pressure to fit in, or not liking certain things about themselves but really seeing the strengths instead of their weakness. Moreover, the words rhymed throughout the children's book.
I won another one of the series: The Modeling Poo.

A home warranty is specifically designed to cover the kinds of repairs that home insurance does not: appliances, plumbing and electrical, air conditioning and furnaces, and pool equipment.

Shultz said he could not release the amount of money the Schusters gave toward the renovation but that it was substantial. Shultz also said that the total amount needed had not been raised yet.
The school will re-name the renovated facility Burger King Stadium at Ragsdale Field.
The field was built in 1970 with stadium seating, a press box and lighting added in 1990. In 1996, a clubhouse and a concession-restroom was added.
The field was named for Charles F. Ragsdale, the program's first coach, in 2000.

The 13th Floor on Twitter, a $15K iPhone and more Digital Dish frights
By René A. Guzman on October 23, 2014 at 4:14 PM
(screengrab)
S.A. Tweet Star of the Week: @13thFloorSA
You think you're ready for the 13th Floor haunted house in San Antonio. You're wrong. Even if you follow the frightful attraction's Twitter account, @13thFloorSA, and steel yourself with its freaky tweets of La Llorona and other terrifying figures, you're not ready.
But you should give it a click anyway. Because maybe, just maybe, that Twitter account will fortify your heart and lessen your screams, at least a little. Or maybe it'll just fuel your fears even more. It's creepy that way. But fun. But creepy.
$15,000 iPhone & more pricey tech
Now for some scary money spent on historical tech. Popular Mechanics whipped up a list called "8 Most Expensive Pieces of Gadget History." No shock, some bear an Apple logo. Such highlights include mention of mint-condition 2007 iPhones going for as much as $15,000 on eBay, an auction of an Apple Lisa computer that's expected to fetch $42,000 and a rare Apple I that sold for $671,000 at auction.
But the most shocking — uh, most expensive — of the list goes to the Henry Graves Patek Philippe Supercomplication, an absurdly intricate one-of-a-kind watch that last clocked in a mind-blowing $11 million at auction. Pop Mech noted the timepiece sports 24 distinct mechanical functions, or "complications." And it might bring in even more mad money when it goes back on auction in November. See? Scary!
Apple keeps it SIM-ple
Keeping with the fear theme, here's something that should have the SIM card trembling in its tray. As TechCrunch reported, cell-enabled models of the new iPad Air 2 come with the new Apple SIM installed. This lets you switch among AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile without having to swap out a SIM card.
The way Apple describes it, Apple SIM "gives you the flexibility to choose from a variety of short-term plans from select carriers in the U.S. and UK right on your iPad. So whenever you need it, you can choose the plan that works best for you — with no long-term commitments. And when you travel, you may also be able to choose a data plan from a local carrier for the duration of your trip."
Neat Nexus 6 features, too
Let's close with a few more not-so-obvious tech gems. BGR pointed out Google's new Nexus 6 smartphone boasts a 6-inch display, 3GB RAM and a 13-megapixel main camera. But BGR also mentioned some features Google isn't really talking about.
Specifically, the Nexus 6 is water-resistant. And it sports a 3,220 mAh battery that can be charged wirelessly. And it will have Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile, though that last feature won't drop until sometime next year after a software update.
All major U.S. carriers will offer the Nexus 6, with preorders starting in late October. It should be available in November, which may mean tough luck for your Nexus 6 La Llorona selfies.

Frederick II () (14 August 1720 – 31 October 1785) was Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel) from 1760 to 1785.  He ruled as an enlightened despot, and raised money by renting soldiers (called "Hessians") to Great Britain to help fight the American Revolutionary War.  He combined Enlightenment ideas with Christian values, cameralist plans for central control of the economy, and a militaristic approach toward international diplomacy.

Early life
Frederick was born at Kassel in Hesse, the son of William VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel and his wife Dorothea Wilhelmine of Saxe-Zeitz. His paternal grandfather was Charles I, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, and his paternal uncle was Frederick I of Sweden. His education was initially entrusted to Colonel August Moritz von Donop and then from 1726 to 1733 to the Swiss theologian and philosopher, Jean-Pierre de Crousaz.

Marriages and children

On 8 May 1740, by proxy in London, and on 28 June 1740 in person in Kassel, Frederick married Princess Mary, fourth daughter of King George II of Great Britain and Caroline of Ansbach. They had four sons:
 William (25 December 1741 – 1 July 1742)
 William I, Elector of Hesse (3 June 1743 – 27 February 1821)
 Charles (19 December 1744 – 17 August 1836), father of Princess Louise Caroline of Hesse-Kassel and grandfather of Christian IX of Denmark.
 Frederick (11 September 1747 – 20 May 1837), father of Prince William of Hesse-Kassel and grandfather of Queen Louise of Denmark.

In December 1745, Frederick landed in Scotland with 6000 Hessian troops to support his father-in-law, George II of Great Britain, in dealing with the Jacobite rising. Although he supported the "Protestant succession" in Great Britain on this occasion, Frederick later converted from Calvinism to Catholicism. In February 1749, Frederick and his father visited the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, Clemens August of Bavaria, who received Frederick into the Catholic Church.

Despite his exertions in support of her father, Frederick's marriage with the British princess was not a happy one. The couple were living apart from each other by 1747, and were formally separated in 1755. Mary moved to Denmark the following year to care for the children of her late sister Louise of Great Britain, who had died in 1751. All three of the couple's surviving sons moved with Mary to Denmark. Two of them, including Frederick's heir William, later married Danish princesses, their first cousins. The younger sons lived permanently in Denmark, rising to high office in the court of their cousin; only William returned to Germany upon inheriting the principality of Hanau. He also later succeeded Frederick as Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel.

Mary died in 1772, and Frederick lost little time in marrying again. On 10 January 1773, at Berlin, he married Margravine Philippine, daughter of Frederick William, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt and Sophia Dorothea of Prussia. No children were born of this marriage.

Ruler
After being formally separated from his wife in 1755, Friedrich entered active service in the Prussian military. In 1760, he succeeded his father as Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. Despite Frederick's Catholicism, the principality remained Calvinist, and Frederick's children were raised as Protestants in Denmark.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, it was a fairly widespread practice for smaller principalities to rent out troops to other princes. However, the practise was carried to excess in Hesse-Kassel, which maintained 7% of its entire population under arms throughout the eighteenth century. Frederick hired out so many troops to his nephew, King George III of Great Britain, for use in the American War of Independence, that "Hessian" has become an American term for all German soldiers deployed by the British in the War. Frederick used the revenue to finance his patronage of the arts and his opulent lifestyle. The architect Simon Louis du Ry transformed for Frederick II the town of Kassel into a modern capital.

Landgrave Frederick II died in 1785 at Castle Weißenstein, Kassel. He was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, William.

Another glorious summer, another World Cup. And as usual the supermarkets, off-licences and pubs hope to make a killing – maybe quite literally in some cases – by a heart attack or cirrhosis of the liver.
Yes, during every World Cup we're inundated with special offers on crates of beer, wine, pizzas, crisps and countless other junk foods to consume while we watch the football.
How ironic it is then that as the world's elite of fit, athletic young men participate in a noble, healthy pursuit, many of those watching and cheering them on indulge in unhealthy, ignoble pursuits, guzzling beer by the can and stuffing their faces with crap. As the horizontally rich but follically poor comedian Alexei Sayle might say "It's a funny old world".
Up until a couple of weeks ago I thought Vuvuzela was an oil-rich South America country with a fat loud-mouthed clown as president whose team never qualifies for the World Cup.
Now it's as if the football stadia in South Africa have been invaded by swarms of angry bees. Love them or hate them they've certainly created a buzz in the air at the World Cup. It's not just Wayne Rooney who has a bee in his bonnet.
I'm splitting my sides just thinking about them.


The sane advice of a lawyer?
Two guys, George and Harry, set out in a hot air balloon to cross the Atlantic ocean.
After 37 hours in the air, George says Harry, we better lose some altitude so we can see where we are.
Harry lets out some of the hot air in the balloon, and the balloon descends to below the cloud cover.
George says, I still can t tell where we are, lets ask that guy on the ground.
So Harry yells down to the man, Hey, pardon me but could you tell us where we are?
The man on the ground yells back, you re in a balloon 100 feet up in the air.
George turns to Harry and says, that man is a lawyer.
How can you tell? inquires Harry.
George answers, Because the advice he gave us is 100% accurate, and totally useless.
A North Carolina man, having bought several expensive cigars, insured them against theft, loss, and fire.
After he had smoked them, he then decided that he had a claim against the insurance company and filed.
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigar normally.
The man sued. The judge stated that since the company had insured the cigars against fire, they were obligated to pay. After the man-accepted payment for his claim, the company then had him arrested... For arson.
The cost of a heart!
Doctor tells a rich old man that he`s going to die if he doesn`t get a new heart soon. The old man tells the doctor to search the world for the best heart available, money is no problem.
A few days later the doctor calls the old man and says he has found three hearts but they are all expensive. The old man reminds the doctor that he is filthy rich and implores him to tell him about the donors they came from.
Well" the first one belonged to 22 year old marathon runner, never smoked, ate only the most healthy foods, was in peak condition when he was hit by a bus. No damage to the heart, of course. But it costs $100,000.
The old man, waving off the last part about the cost, asks the doctor to tell him about the second donor.
This one belonged to a 16 year old long-distance swimmer, high school kid. Lean and mean. Drowned when he hit his head on the side of the pool. That heart will set you back $150,000.
Okay, said the old man, what about the third heart?
Well, this one belonged to a 58 year-old man, smoked three packs of cigarettes a day, weighed over 300 pounds, never exercised, drank like a fish... this heart is going for $500,000!!!
Five-hundred grand ?!?! , the old man exclaimed, why so expensive?
Well, said the doctor, this heart belonged to a lawyer... so it was never used!
A judge was instructing the jury that a witness was not necessarily to be regarded as untruthful because he changed his statement after he gave it to the police.
"For example." he said, "when I entered my chambers today, I was positive that I had my gold watch in my pocket. But then I remembered that I left in on my nightstand in my bedroom."
When the judge returned home that evening, his wife asked him "Why so much urgency for your watch? Isn`t sending three men to pick it up for you a bit extreme?"
"What?" said the judge, "I didn`t send anyone for my watch, let alone three people. What did you do?"
"I gave it to the first one," said the wife, "he knew exactly where it was,"


Does it get any better than this? 3 of my favourite acts, Schlachthofbronx featuring Buraka Som Sistema and released on Electronic Gods, Modeselektor's label.
Not exactly the Big Room Bangerooney one would expect with 3 quality acts of this calibre involved and it's an understated affair but still a brilliant slab of Future Tarraxo/Zouk Bass vybz.
Ahead of the release of Monkeytown's upcoming 'Modeselektion Vol.03′, the label founded by the always-surprising German duo Modeselektor is also releasing all the tracks in their compilation in three vinyl EPs, the first of which is already available on record stores everywhere. Alongside new tracks by the likes of L-Vis 1990, Illum Sphere and French Fries, the label's new release includes a fresh collaboration between German duo Schlachthofbronx and the mighty Buraka Som Sistema called Volumen,which you can stream on the Soundcloud widget below.
You can buy the new 'Modeselektor Presents Modeselektions Vol.03 #1′ record on vinyl and digital format directly from the label or at your favorite record store. Also, don't forget that Buraka's new album is dropping on June 23rd and is already available for pre-order on iTunes.


Asking for critique is dangerous.
I'll preface this by saying the books I've released are pretty good in my opinion. Some are really good. I didn't release them until I was sure about them.
But, well, a writer can always get better.
1.) Editor mentions a problem in my writing, I ask him to explicate, he provides examples.
"That's exactly what I'm asking for," I tell him.
"Well, actually, now that you mention it..."
3.) I send a book to another reader, who tells me how great I am in some parts and how stupid I am in others. "You need not to be so lazy when you can be so good."
"It's not that I'm lazy sometimes and not lazy other times, it's that sometimes the words come...but point taken."
Overall, what I'm saying here, is after a run of getting mostly line-editings and copy-editings, I've started to ask for more structural editing, and somewhat to my surprise, I'm getting tougher critique. I've always had a few readers who were willing to point out problems, and almost all readers will venture opinions, but mostly editors and readers try to be supportive.
Turns out, if you scratch under the surface a little, these criticisms pop up. Or maybe I've just assembled a crew of readers who are willing to be more critical.
I find myself doubting my abilities at the same time I recognize the problems.
Overall, I think the time has come to slow down. Now so much at the writing, because I've got a good pace going there, and I do believe that once in the throes of the fictional dream it's best to stay there, and the biggest lesson I've learned is to finish a book before I start thinking about substantive changes.
But I've also found that the more time that passes between the first draft and the second draft, the fresher it is to me, the more context I have, and the more willing I am to make changes. Sometimes the problems just become very clear and the solutions just present themselves.
For instance, it's been 3 or 4 months since I finished "Deadfall Ridge." I thought I was done with it, but I had some time--not coincidentally because I'm trying to give "Takeover" a breather--and I picked it up and the solution to a problem I'd sensed about the beginning became clear and I killed my darling second chapter, rearranged the first 50 pages, tightened it up, and damn if it isn't a better book.
I've also recently had the example of "Snaked" where the publisher asked for rewrites or changes 3 times and was probably right in all of them. I couldn't see the problems until they pointed them out, but once I addressed them, I was forced to acknowledge the improvements.
In case you think I'm a wuss about this--most writers I know can't accept critique at all, much less this level. I think I'm pretty good about it, despite my grousing.
"Faerylander" is probably the biggest example. I've been fiddling with this book for 5 years now, and each time I've come back to it--sometimes after years--I've improved it.
I don't know if this is the best thing to do for a beginning writer--I think actually writing and finishing books and moving on is probably the best training there is. But for someone who has now written 35 books, 15 of which are traditionally published, another 10 indy published (not done yet), I can afford to let time pass between releases.
I have a small "in" with a major publisher for a thriller, and I don't want that door to close (the door is open maybe half an inch, heh) so there is a little time constraint. I'm going to send the new version of "Deadfall Ridge" to him though I'd already sent a draft that was presented as finished.
But I'm going to put off the rewrite to "Takeover" for a few more weeks than I intended. The more time I take, the better. I can finish up "The Wyvern Riders" in the meantime.
I'm getting feedback for "Takeover" and by request the critique is probably more substantial than usual and as unpleasant as that can sometimes, as dangerous to my ego, I think it's a good thing.

At Thailand's Request, YouTube Blocks Video Clip of Charlie Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator'
Written byMong Palatino
Read this post in Malagasy, Español, Ελληνικά, русский, Italiano, 简体中文, 日本語, 繁體中文, English
This video clip was banned in Thailand. This part with Thai subtitles features a speech of Charlie Chaplin (dictator): "The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish." Screenshot from YouTube
A video clip of Charlie Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator' has been blocked on YouTube at the behest of the military-backed government of Thailand.
'The Great Dictator', a Hollywood film by comedian Chaplin, parodied the rise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in 1940.
On 11 June 2017, the Thai Academic Network of Civil Rights urged the public to watch a YouTube clip of 'The Great Dictator' in which Chaplin exhorts the people to take back power from the dictator.
Thailand's army grabbed power in 2014 but it vowed to restore civilian rule once political and electoral reforms have been implemented. The constitution passed in 2016 was intended to pave the way for holding elections, but critics argue that it has reinforced military rule within the country's bureaucracy.
Internet users reported on June 24 that the video clip with Thai subtitles was inaccessible on YouTube. The page for the video instead displayed the standard message: "This content is not available on this country domain due to a legal complaint from the government."
June 24 is the day when Thailand commemorates the 1932 revolution which ended the country's absolute monarchy.
The group Thai Lawyers for Human Rights said the request to block the video clip was probably made by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.
Veteran journalist Pravit Rojanaphruk wrote on Twitter that the junta's order is "hilariously insane and dictatorial."
Juntaland's dictator blocking Charlie Chaplin's satirical film mocking dictator is hilariously insane & dictatorial. #Thailand #censorship pic.twitter.com/yhMY9jPJ2R
— Pravit Rojanaphruk (@PravitR) June 25, 2017
Some activists wanted to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the revolution by highlighting the struggle to end the military dictatorship in the country. They accused the junta of suppressing the rights of the people by using the Lese Majeste (law against 'royal insult') law to detain and persecute government critics.
On June 27, the video was re-instated, but the story of its blocking remains a hot topic in Thai media.
The Bangkok Post newspaper published an editorial describing the order to block the video clip as the 'worst decision' of the government in preventing the people from commemorating the 1932 revolution:
Once again, by its aggressive censorship, the regime has only succeeded in making material more popular.
This regime seized power on a single promise to bring reconciliation. It is not just failing at the task. Actions such as the weekend attacks on sense and sensibility only drive more wedges between factions and groups.
The Post also reported that since YouTube re-instated the video, its views have spiked from a few hundred to several thousand.

BMW M4 GTS – 500 HP Sports Car at Nordschleife Race Track Video
Posted by: BMWUX
The lap time of the M4 GTS at the Nordschleife race track in Nürburg, Germany clocked in at 7 minutes and 28 seconds.
In this video, you can see the 500 HP BMW M4 GTS drifts smoothly across the Nordschleife race track where every millisecond counts. A fraction of the time difference can separate the first place from the second.
BMW M4 GTS Specs
The M4 GTS has more horsepower, more torque, and more speed compared to the standard M4 model.
500 HP (493 BHP)
Top speed of 189.5 mph
DIN kerb weight of 1,510 kilograms (ECE kerb weight: 1,585 kg).
Weight-to-power ratio of 3.0 kg/HP
BMW M4 GTS Highlights
The very limited-edition BMW M4 GTS has 700-unit production models, and of which, 300 units of M4 GTS are released in the United States. The debut of the M4 GTS celebrated the 30th anniversary of the BMW M3, which was first introduced in 1986.
The BMW engineers worked meticulously for the development of the special powertrain, chassis, and lightweight construction of the powerful M4 GTS.
Frank van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH, stated:
"They sharpen the character of the BMW M brand and embody an emotionally rich and exclusive driving experience. We've taken a radical route with the set-up of the BMW M4 GTS to create a sports machine for the race track that delivers top-end dynamics and inspirational performance. It allows us to demonstrate what is possible today with a road-legal car. Owners can drive their BMW M4 GTS to circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring or Laguna Seca – for Clubsport events, for example – and then set lap times there that raise the bar to extremely high levels for road-legal cars."
OLED Tail Lights
One distinctive feature of the M4 GTS is the OLED tail lights. OLED or Organic Light Emitting Diodes are BMW's new cutting-edge LED lighting technology that lights up to a homogeneous effect. This means that each LED light emits light in the form of a point. The OLED brings out the sleek L-shaped contour of the tail lights where they measure 1.4 millimeters in height. Unfortunately, this feature is currently not available in the North American production models.
Water injection technology
The BMW M4 GTS uses a 6-cylinder in-line turbo similar to that of the new BMW M3 and M4. The game-changer is the addition of the Water Injection technology, which gives the 3.0-liter unit a horsepower boost to 500 HP.
Goes from 0 to 100 km/h (62 MPH) in just 3.8 seconds and with the top speed of 189.5 MPH, this makes the BMW M4 GTS the agilest, most radical and dynamic model in BMW's repertoire.
Learn more about the top 3 New technologies that made the BMW M4 GTS one-of-a-kind.
M4 GTS Interior
The interior is entirely focused on BMW's commitment to the Motorsport culture. Both the driver and passenger seats are equipped with the carbon fiber M bucket seats, which weight 50 percent less than the BMW M4 sports seats.
The optional Clubsport Package can further enhance the affinity of the BMW M4 GTS with the race track. It includes a roll bar of Acid Orange positioned behind the front seats, a race-specific six-point harness and a fire extinguisher.
Along with the exclusive Alcantara or Merino leather seat covering, the interior is further graced with Alcantara material on the M sports steering wheel, three-point seat belts, and signature M stripes in the backrests.

Star Rating Protocol of Garbage Free Cities
For Prelims: Swachh Bharat Mission, Swachhta Survekshan, Solid Waste Management, Garbage Free Cities.
For Mains: Star rating protocol in Improving Cleanliness and its significance, Garbage in India.
On the eve of Good Governance Day (25th December), the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) launched the 'Star Rating Protocol of Garbage Free Cities- Toolkit 2022.
It is the most important governance tool of waste management – the Star Rating Protocol for Garbage Free Cities.
In the revised protocol the entire process of applying for certification has been simplified and made completely digital, paperless.
And new components pertaining to Information, Education & Communication (IEC) , capacity building, revenue from sale of waste by-products have been added to encourage cities to build an ecosystem to strengthen waste management systems.
The Star Rating Protocol was launched by the MoHUA in 2018 to institutionalise a mechanism for cities to achieve Garbage Free status, and to motivate cities to achieve higher degrees of sustainable cleanliness.
In the recently concluded certification exercise for Garbage Free Cities nearly 50% of ULBs( Urban Local Bodies) (2,238 cities) participated in the certification exercise, of which a total of 299 cities have been certified.
9 cities have been rated as 5-star, 143 cities rated as 3-star and 147 cities as 1-star.
In October 2021, Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 was launched, to create "Garbage Free Cities" (GFC), thereby placing India on a new trajectory of growth towards an ecosystem of holistic sanitation and waste management.
It is one of the various initiatives which intends to make Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U) a successful project.
It is based on 12 parameters which follow a SMART framework – Single metric, Measurable, Achievable, Rigorous verification mechanism and Targeted towards outcomes.
The star rating conditions have been designed in a way to enable cities to gradually evolve into a model (7-star) city, with progressive improvements in their overall cleanliness.
It is a comprehensive framework that assesses cities across 23 different components of Solid Waste Management (SWM) and is graded based on overall marks received.
The Star Rating is supported by self-assessment and self-verification for achieving a certain star rating. It also ensures the involvement of citizen groups for a transparent system of self-declaration.
Further, the self-declaration is further verified through an independent third party agency appointed by MoHUA.
The performance of cities under the Star Rating Protocol is crucial as it carries significant weightage for their final assessment in Swachh Survekshan.
Swachh Survekshan is the annual urban cleanliness survey conducted by the government.
It also ensures certain minimum standards of sanitation through a set of prerequisites defined in the framework.
Since the rating is conducted at a city level, it makes the process easier to implement and helps the cities incrementally improve their overall cleanliness.
The rating protocol is an outcome-based tool that helps MoHUA and other stakeholders to evaluate cities on the basis of this single rating.
Garbage in India
India generates the highest amount of waste in the world (as of January 2020, 147,613 metric tonnes (MT) of solid waste is generated per day) — that's more than even China. But the per person waste generated by both India and China at present is a small fraction of that by developed countries.
The per capita waste generation in Indian cities ranges from 200 grams to 600 grams per day. Only about 75-80% of the municipal waste gets collected and only 22-28 % of this waste is processed and treated.
It is estimated that by 2050, India's waste generation will double whereas growth in China's waste generation will be much slower.

New trial is set to test whether these two beverages could help.
A new trial conducted by researchers from Bristol and Oxford University will soon to test if prostate cancer risk can be reduced by green tea and tomato juice, The Sun reported.
The team made plans for this major trial after previous studies about the two beverages reveal it could help treat the deadly disease.
If the trial is successful doctors could recommend men at risk of the disease to consume the drinks on a daily basis.
Research has found tomatoes contain an antioxidant called lycopene, which has been shown to prevent growth of cancer and reduce cell damage. While the tea has been found to contain antioxidants called flavanols that helps to reduce DNA cell damage.
The tial will also investigate whether tablets that contain flavanols or lycopene have any benefit to treat the disease.

Samsung's heir-apparent Lee Jae-yong has been sentenced to five years in prison for corruption.
He was accused of bribery in a scandal that also saw the impeachment of South Korea's former president, Park Geun-hye.
The case has gripped the public amid growing anger against South Korea's biggest companies, known as chaebols.
Lee Jae-yong, who denied all charges, had faced a jail sentence of up to 12 years.
The 49-year-old, also known as Jay Y. Lee, the de facto head of Samsung, the world's largest smartphone maker, had been detained since February on a string of corruption charges.
These included including bribery, embezzlement and hiding assets overseas.
Lee Jae-yong was accused of giving donations worth 41 billion won ($36 million) to non-profit foundations operated by Choi Soon-sil, a friend of South Korea's former President Park Geun-hye, in return for political favors.
Prosecutors said the donations were made to Park Geun-hye's confidante to win government support for a big restructuring of Samsung that would strengthen Lee Jae-yong's control over Samsung Electronics.
A lawyer for Lee Jae-yonghas said already said they will appeal against the decision.
"We are confident the ruling will be overturned," lawyer Song Wu-cheol told reporters after the ruling, according to Reuters.
Nevertheless this ruling represents a huge blow to South Korea's biggest and most well-known business empire. Since the verdict, Samsung shares fell by 1%.
Lee Jae-yong's conviction raises questions about his leadership of the conglomerate. He has been standing in as chairman since his father, Lee Kun-hee, suffered a heart attack in 2014.
The Samsung scandal contributed to President Park Geun-hye's eventual impeachment. Park Geun-hye's friend, Choi Soon-sil, has already been jailed for three years for corruption.
Samsung Electronics vice chairman Lee Jae-yong has been quizzed at the prosecutor's office in Seoul as a suspect in South Korea's biggest political corruption scandal involving President Park Geun-hye.
Samsung is accused of giving donations to several non-profit foundations operated by Choi Soon-sil, a close friend to President Park Geun-hye.
The donations were allegedly made in exchange for political support of a controversial merger.
The Choi Soon-sil scandal has led to President Park Geun-hye being impeached by South Korea's parliament last month.
The claims against Samsung circle around a merger between the electronics giant's construction arm, Samsung C&T, and an affiliate company, Cheil Industries.
Lee Jae-yong, known professionally as Jay Y. Lee, has already given evidence to politicians over the scandal, but this is the first time he has been questioned as a suspect by investigators.
Jay Y. Lee also confirmed Samsung gave a horse and money to help the equestrian career of Choi Soon-sil's daughter, Chung Yoo-ra, something he said he now regretted.
President Park Geun-hye's position began to unravel in October 2016, when details of her friendship with Choi Soon-sil began to emerge.
They included revelations that Park Geun-hye had allowed Choi Soon-sil – who holds no government role – to edit political speeches.
Since then, hundreds of thousands of protestors have gathered every weekend in Seoul to demand Park Geun-hye's resignation.

Rand's theory of limited government posits an institution with sovereign authority over the use of force, but her theory of individual rights only allows for the use of force in defense against invasions of rights. As long as private defense agencies limit themselves to the defense of their clients' rights, Rand cannot justify using force to suppress them. But if citizens are free to cut their ties to the government and turn to private agencies for the protection of their rights, then the so-called government no longer holds sovereign authority to enforce its citizens' rights; it becomes only one defense agency among many. Childs formulated his argument as an internal critique of Ayn Rand's political theory, but his dilemma challenges any theory combining libertarian rights with government sovereignty. Any limited government must either be ready to forcibly suppress private defense agencies–in which case it ceases to be limited, by initiating violence against peaceful people–or else it must be ready to coexist with them–abdicating its claim to sovereignty and ceasing to be a government. Since maintaining sovereignty requires an act of aggression, any government, in order to remain a government, mut be ready to trample the liberty of its citizens, in order to establish and enforce a coercive monopoly over the protection of rights.
12 Taken severally, each challenge poses a problem for one of the forms of special authority that minarchists have traditionally wanted governments to exercise. I think the import of each individual challenge is actually less than anarchists have historically thought: minarchists could respond to any individual challenge by revising their theory, and promoting an even more minimalist government that abdicates the function that each challenge called into question. But taken together, the three challenges jointly whittle a properly limited government down to no government at all: any institution that minarchists could make consistent with liberty, in light of all three challenges, would have abandoned all claims of sovereign authority, and thus abdicated the throne.
13 See, for example, The Nature of Government in Rand 1964, 113.
14 See Government Financing in a Free Society in Rand 1964, 116–20.
15 The Nature of Government, in Rand 1964, 112–13.
16 Ibid., 107; emphasis on exclusive added.
18 Classical liberals and minarchist libertarians have sometimes tried to sidestep anarchist objections by appealing to the consent of the governed. Even if government sovereignty entails limitations on private citizens' freedom to defend themselves directly, not all limitations on liberty violate libertarian principles: free people can bind themselves to new obligations by agreeing to contracts. Liberal theorists draw up the analogy of a social contract, and claim that private citizens can be bound to recognise the government's sovereignty by explicit, or tacit, or hypothetical consent to the terms of the political system. This sort of reply could be made to any of the three challenges that I pose, and so deserves a response. Unfortunately, constraints of space prevent me from giving an adequate response. Fortunately, excellent systematic critiques of the claim already exist in Spooner 1867–1870 and the first chapter of Barnett 2004. In any case minarchists should be very hesitant to draw on appeals to tacit consent: exactly the same arguments could just as easily be used to justify all forms of taxation (on the theory that citizens consented to pay for government expenses when they consented to the contract), many forms of invasive laws (on the theory that citizens consented to abide by the government's standards of conduct or hygiene), etc. Most serious defenders of minarchism in the twentieth century have seen this difficulty and have tried to develop theories which provide for the legitimacy of government without the need for unanimous consent, whether tacit or explicit.

The University of Arizona has a large and beneficial impact on this thriving, sunny city. Tucson, Arizona (population 542,000, elevation 2,375 ft.) has been one of the fastest growing communities in the country for a long time, and with good reason. It is warm in winter, blessed with sunshine almost 300 days per year, has beautiful surroundings, and has ample land for development. At 233 performing arts dates per year, it also has one of the nation's highest numbers of arts performances. It retains a distinctive relaxed, western flavor (Tombstone is nearby), and it celebrates outdoor life due to its climate and location. The downtown has many areas and is undergoing careful redevelopment.
In addition to the rich presence of The University of Arizona, recognized as a Public Ivy, Tucson's many festivals, parades, processions, fairs, and rodeos assure there is never an absence of activity, or a dull moment, in this bustling city.
The housing choices for retirees are among the most varied and economical of any place in the U.S. There are over 25 adult retirement communities with more built every year (see Active Adult Communities link at top right). Mobile home parks are plentiful and offer a low cost housing alternative. There are many condos and private homes in neighborhoods that are perfect for retirees.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the median selling price of a home in Tucson was $233,800 during the third quarter of 2018, up from $210,000 a year earlier.
Saguaro National Park, A city that caters to retirees, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (Arizona's 2nd most popular tourist attraction, Grand Canyon being #1), More than 25 adult retirement communities, University of Arizona, Gateway to the mountains and Mexico, Tucson gets high marks for environmental sustainability, Bicycle friendly, Award-winning Public bus system, and is above average in walkability when compared to other communities.
Traffic can become intense, the summer heat is oppressive, dry heat is better than humid, but when anyplace gets over 100, it's hot!
Tucson is located in the Sonoran desert in southern Arizona, 60 miles north of Mexico and 120 miles from Phoenix. It 's on the Santa Cruz River, which is a dry river bed for most of the year. Tucson is surrounded by 5 minor mountain ranges and the Coronado National Forest is northeast. Most of the year is dry, with the rains mostly coming in summer. Average July high is 101, January low is 42.
There are many festivals throughout the year, such as the Rodeo Parade, Tucson Meet Yourself, Folk Festival, All Souls Procession, etc. The University of Arizona has an art and a photography museum. The Tucson Museum of Art concentrates on the arts of the Americas. The Arizona-Sonoran Museum is non-traditional and focuses on animals and plants of the desert. The Tucson Symphony Orchestra and Opera Company are important culturally, as is the Arizona Theatre Company.
Crime in Tucson tends to be at least double the national average.
Tucson International Airport Amtrak Sun Tran (award-winning public bus system), Old Pueblo Trolley, Biking – there are many trails and Tucson is bicycle-friendly, but there in NO integrated transportation system in and around the city. If you need to get somewhere you must have a vehicle or be prepared to pay a high price for a taxi service. Traffic has become a nightmare along with potholes. Tucson's walkability is about average compared with other cities.

Home/Crime/Army Reserve Major put Bacon at a Mosque, Threatens Muslims
Army Reserve Major put Bacon at a Mosque, Threatens Muslims
Faye HigbeeJune 10, 2016
U.S. Army Reserve Maj. Russell Thomas Langford was arrested after being accused of placing open packages of bacon at the entrance to the Masjid Al Madina Mosque in Raeford, North Carolina. He was also accused of threatening to kill members of the mosque, and attempting to run them over with his SUV.
Maj. Langford posted his $60,000 bond and was immediately taken into custody by the Army. He is charged with "ethnic intimidation, assault with a deadly weapon, going armed to terror the public, communicating threats, stalking, and disorderly conduct."

Stalking Muslims
Authorities stated that Mr. Langford sat outside of the mosque in his Chevy Tahoe, and followed them as they left the property. Later in the evening, they say he made death threats against members of the mosque.
"…absolutely frightening because you were in your worship place people eating and praying and someone pulls a gun out…" Farhae Chouehry.
When police contacted Mr. Langford, they found numerous weapons, several firearms, and ammunition inside the Tahoe.
Of course, CAIR became involved immediately when they were notified of the incident. Ibrahim Hooper's accusations were slightly different, saying that Langford approached a Muslim chaplain at Fort Bragg and threatened to blow up the mosque. He also stated that Langford tried to run over a group of people who were going into the mosque for evening Ramadan prayers.
"We call on state law enforcement authorities and the FBI to investigate this incident as a possible hate crime. We also ask local police to step up patrols in the area of this and other North Carolina mosques, particularly during the nightly activities associated with the ongoing fast of Ramadan." – Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR National Communications Director
What set off this man who had served his country with such distinction?
It is hoped that the Army will find out about his recent life to see what might have occurred to trigger his behavior.
According to wncn,
Capt. Eric Connor with the U.S. Army Reserves Command at Fort Bragg said Langford first enlisted in the Army in 2003 and served two tours of Iraq, one in 2004 and another in 2008.
Langford has been awarded the Bronze Star, Army Commendation Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, as well as other theater service medals. He went off active duty in November 2008 and immediately went into the Army Reserve.
Langford has been working in the Army Reserves G 3-3 Mobilization Section at Fort Bragg and had no prior issues in his Army record.

As coal powder is the most important fuel in the power plant, the plant owners need coal mill or coal pulverizer to grind the coal to micro powders.

SEOUL, Oct 26 (Reuters) - South Korea called off the launch of a space rocket on Friday after a glitch in the Russian-built booster halted preparations five hours before the scheduled lift-off.
It was South Korea's third attempt to put a satellite into orbit and comes after North Korea succeeded in launching a rocket in April that it said was carrying a satellite, only to abort the mission early in its flight.
Friday's failure also puts South Korea far behind economic rivals China, India and Japan.
South Korean officials at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) that is conducting the launch said Russian engineers had found a leak in the sealing while injecting helium gas into the first-stage booster.
The rocket will be taken off its launch pad and moved to a hangar to repair the faulty seal, which will require at least three days, the officials said.
"If the problem is serious, we may not be able to launch in the current window," KARI President Kim Seung-jo said. South Korea has set a launch window of Oct. 26 to 31. The officials indicated a new window may have to be set.
South Korea's second launch attempt in 2010 ended 137 seconds into flight when the rocket exploded before sending its payload into orbit. The first attempt in 2009 also failed when the rocket failed to release the payload.
South Korea's launch attempts have riled North Korea, which had been hit with U.N. sanctions for its rocket tests, which the reclusive state says are aimed at putting a satellite into orbit, but which critics say are tests for a ballistic missile programme aimed at delivering a nuclear payload.

Noise is one of the greatest but least understood risks at work. Manufacturing and construction workers are particularly at risk from noise related problems like deafness and tinnitus but almost all workplace environments can pose a potential health threat.
Employees can suffer from acoustic trauma following a single episode of unprotected exposure to noise at work, such as explosives being detonated, but most noise induced hearing loss cases involve a period of prolonged exposure.
If you think work is to blame for your hearing problems, you should seek legal advice. You may be able to claim the costs of a hearing aid from a former employer, for example, and you may be entitled to compensation for noise induced hearing loss or tinnitus or both. Call our specialist solicitors on 0203 816 0065 for free initial advice.
According to the HSE, around 170,000 people in the UK suffer from deafness, tinnitus or other ear problems as a result of exposure to excessive noise at work. In addition, it's estimated that more than a million employees in the UK are still being regularly exposed to potentially damaging noise levels in the workplace.
Your employer has a duty to provide a safe working environment. However, until recently, many employers have failed to fully appreciate the medical problems associated with noise. Nor have they taken sufficient steps to prevent workers from being exposed to it.
As a result, many employees have suffered problems of deafness and tinnitus.
What are the symptoms of noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus?
Whilst the damage is inflicted in the workplace, the symptoms of noise induced hearing loss are often not noticeable until combined with age-related issues several years later. It may be that medical experts advise you would benefit from wearing hearing aids a lot earlier than would otherwise have been the case.
The loss of hearing that results from workplace noise can have a profound effect on the quality of your work, social and family life. Not being able to hear someone properly when there is background noise or even being able to hear the television, the telephone or doorbell ringing. Not being able to enjoy conversations for fear of having to ask people to repeat themselves again and again. Some sufferers even find themselves avoiding social events for the same reasons.
Deafness is made even worse for some people by tinnitus. The continuous ringing and buzzing they hear in the ears or at odd times, can be very disturbing especially if it affects their sleep. In summary, deafness deprives many sufferers from enjoying a normal and healthy life.
Are you at risk from noise?
Are you conscious of the noise in your workplace?
Do you have to raise your voice to be heard by colleagues?
Are heavy machines used in your workplace?
Is sudden, but loud, noise a feature of your work – such as hammering or explosions?
Once it has occurred, hearing loss is unfortunately permanent. If anything, it is likely to deteriorate further over time. However, there are many steps you can take to protect yourself from noise in the workplace. These include wearing ear protection, asking your employer to move you away from noisy machinery or at least give you breaks from it, and ensuring you undertake regular hearing tests.


The sardines, locally called Choodai, constitute one of the important groups of fishes supporting the fisheries of the Mandapam area. Sardinella albella and Sardinella gibbosa are the two important species forming the fishery. Previous studies on sardines in the area include observations made by Devanesan (1932) on the food and feeding habits and Chacko (1946) on the bionomics of S. gibbosa. Investigations have been in progress since 1952 at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Station (Sekharan, 1955 and 1959) on the Choodai fishery. The present study was undertaken from May 1958 to March 1960 as a continuation of the work.

Is my German Shepherd over excited?
hiya my dog tara will be 3 this month..everytime i pet her she pees..will she grow out of this or is she just over excited?
You didn't mention whether or not this is a new or old behavior. From the picture you sent of her she does look a bit submissive there and if that is her temperament it could just be her acting submissively to you.
If it just started recently it wouldn't hurt to get her checked out at the vet to make sure that there is nothing medically wrong with her.
If it is not a medical issue you can help her overcome things like this with proper training. Good luck.
