Ledger died on the afternoon of 22 January 2008[6][1] due to a drug overdose.[8][9][10] A few months before his death, Ledger had finished filming his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight. At the time of his death, The Dark Knight was in its editing-phase and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was in the midst of filming, in which he was playing his last role as Tony. His untimely death also affected the subsequent promotion of The Dark Knight.[11] His role as the Joker in The Dark Knight earned him widespread acclaim and popularity from both fans and critics alike, and is often regarded as one of the greatest performances in film history. Ledger also received numerous posthumous accolades for his performance in The Dark Knight, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, a Best Actor International Award at the 2008 Australian Film Institute Awards, the 2008 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor, the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture,[12] and the 2009 BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor.[5]

^ It has been claimed that he was Western Australian junior chess champion, but he is not listed at WA Chess Association past state junior champions. Claims that he was near grandmaster strength are certainly an exaggeration: Australian grandmaster Ian Rogers called the claim "ridiculous" (Tweet by Ian Rogers), while American grandmaster Joel Benjamin noted "People outside the tournament chess community commonly inflate the credentials of casual players" (blog of Joel Benjamin).

Eleven months after Ledger's death, on 23 December 2008, Jake Coyle, writing for the Associated Press, announced that "Heath Ledger's death was voted 2008's top entertainment story by U.S. newspaper and broadcast editors surveyed by The Associated Press". He claimed that this was partially a result of the "shock and confusion" surrounding the circumstances of Ledger's death, as well as due to Ledger's "legacy [...] in a roundly acclaimed performance as the Joker in the year's biggest box office hit The Dark Knight".[102]
Cryptocurrencies are experiencing a moment of unprecedented attention and speculation for several reasons. 1) The value of Bitcoin has been steadily climbing through 2017, with Ether seemingly poised to overtake the cryptocurrency giant any day; 2) Blockchain technology has purposes above and beyond cryptocurrency, and has been hailed by some as the backbone of the future financial system; 3) The increasing number of people who see cryptocurrency as a form of investment similar to gold. If cryptocurrencies stabilize in value, buying Bitcoin or Ether has the potential to be a worthy venture.
After a flurry of further media speculation, on 6 August 2008, the US Attorney's Office in Manhattan closed its investigation into Ledger's death without filing any charges and rendering moot its subpoena of Olsen.[99][100] With the clearing of the two doctors and Olsen, and the closing of the investigation because the prosecutors in the Manhattan US Attorney's Office "don't believe there's a viable target," it is still not known how Ledger obtained the oxycodone and hydrocodone in the lethal drug combination that killed him.[100][101]

On 15 July 2008, Fife-Yeomans reported further, via Australian News Limited, that "While Ledger left everything to his parents and three sisters, it is understood they have legal advice that under Western Australia law, Matilda Rose is entitled to the lion's share" of his estate; its executors, Kim Ledger's former business colleague Robert John Collins and Geraldton accountant William Mark Dyson, "have applied for probate in the West Australian Supreme Court in Perth, advertising for 'creditors and other persons' having claims on the estate to lodge them by 11 August 2008 ... to ensure all debts are paid before the estate is distributed...."[114] According to this report by Fife-Yeomans, earlier reports citing Ledger's uncles,[105] and subsequent reports citing Ledger's father, which do not include his actual posthumous earnings, "his entire fortune, mostly held in Australian trusts, is likely to be worth up to $20 million."[114][115][116]
Ledger went on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, becoming the second person to win a posthumous Academy Award for acting (after fellow Australian actor Peter Finch, who won for 1976's Network), as well as the first comic-book movie actor to win an Oscar for their acting. Ledger's family attended the ceremony on 22 February 2009, with his parents and sister accepting the award on stage on his behalf.[163][33] Following talks with the Ledger family in Australia, the Academy determined that Ledger's daughter, Matilda Rose, would own the award. However, due to Matilda's age, she will not gain full ownership of the statuette until her eighteenth birthday in 2023.[164] Her mother, Michelle Williams, will hold the statuette in trust for Matilda until that time.[165]

Portraying a variety of roles, from romantic heroes to the reluctantly oppressed, Ledger created a hodgepodge of characters that are deliberately unlike one another, stating "I feel like I am wasting my time if I repeat myself". He also reflected on his inability to be happy with his work, "I feel the same thing about everything I do. The day I say, 'It's good' is the day I should start doing something else."[144] Ledger liked to wait between jobs so that he would start creatively hungry on new projects.[145] In his own words, acting was about harnessing "the infinite power of belief,"[143] thus using belief as a tool for creating.
On 27 September 2008, Ledger's father Kim stated that "the family has agreed to leave the US$16.3 million fortune to Matilda," adding: "There is no claim. Our family has gifted everything to Matilda."[115][116] In October 2008, Forbes estimated Ledger's annual earnings from October 2007 through October 2008 – including his posthumous share of The Dark Knight's gross income of "US$1 billion in box office revenue worldwide" – as "US$20 million".[117]

What is the most popular Blockchain
As compared to other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, a USDC doesn't move on its own accord as its price is backed by a fiat currency in this case. This means that stablecoins such as the USDC can reduce the price volatility usually associated with cryptocurrencies, so they are an ideal way to store value. That's why Coinbase believes that USDC can be used to buy items in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, such as tickets for blockchain-based games.

However, Coinbase doesn't list XRP on its exchange yet, and the addition of the cryptocurrency to custody services doesn't guarantee that it will be offered on the exchange. But then, because Coinbase Custody is now supporting XRP, user confidence in the cryptocurrency should increase. Additionally, institutional investing in XRP will also bring more liquidity and push up volumes of the cryptocurrency, so Coinbase listing this digital asset on its exchange shouldn't be ruled out completely.

Speaking of editing The Dark Knight, on which Ledger had completed his work in October 2007, Nolan recalled, "It was tremendously emotional, right when he passed, having to go back in and look at him every day. ... But the truth is, I feel very lucky to have something productive to do, to have a performance that he was very, very proud of, and that he had entrusted to me to finish."[147] All of Ledger's scenes appear as he completed them in the filming; in editing the film, Nolan added no "digital effects" to alter Ledger's actual performance posthumously.[154] Nolan dedicated the film in part to Ledger's memory, as well as to the memory of technician Conway Wickliffe, who was killed during a car accident while preparing one of the film's stunts.[155]
He was working with Scottish screenwriter and producer Allan Scott on an adaptation of the 1983 novel The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis, which would have been his first feature film as a director. He also intended to act in the film, with Canadian actress Ellen Page proposed in the lead role.[3][47][48] Ledger's final directorial work, in which he shot two music videos before his death, premiered in 2009.[49] The music videos, completed for Modest Mouse and Grace Woodroofe,[50] include an animated feature for Modest Mouse's song, "King Rat", and the Woodroofe video for her cover of David Bowie's "Quicksand".[51] The "King Rat" video premiered on 4 August 2009.[52]

Sprint said it plans to turn on 64T64R (64 transmit, 64 receive) Massive MIMO technology in three cities—Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles—in April. And later this year Sprint will expand that to Atlanta, Houston and Washington, D.C. The company said vendors Samsung, Ericsson and Nokia are supplying the equipment.
The company said the action is a key element of its move to 5G network technology, which the carrier has promised to launch in the first half of next year. Specifically, Sprint said the new Massive MIMO sites that the carrier's vendors are currently installing can be upgraded to 5G technology through a software upgrade—meaning Sprint will be able to remotely activate 5G on the towers in the six cities without having engineers climb the towers again.
Sprint explained that the MIMO radios use 128 antennas and can support both 4G LTE and 5G on the same radio. The technology will run through Sprint's 2.5 GHz spectrum.
Sprint's move to 64T64R MIMO represents a significant step forward in the MIMO space in the United States. Most operators like T-Mobile and Verizon operate 4x4 MIMO.
Sprint's latest announcement provides further clarity on the carrier's 5G rollout plans. Sprint's 5G push appears to stem from the collapse of merger negotiations in November between Sprint and T-Mobile. Immediately after the companies ended their talks, SoftBank's Masayoshi Son promised that Sprint would increase its annual capex from a low of around $2 billion to a high of $6 billion. Indeed, Sprint's target of a high of $6 billion in capital expenses this year puts the operator ahead of T-Mobile, which is expected to spend around $5.3 billion in capex this year.

A Cure In Sight
A UF Health ophthalmologist works toward a possible treatment for inherited retinal diseases.
By: Dee Russell
Hundreds of patients fill the exam rooms at UF Health Ophthalmology – Jacksonville every week to receive care for a variety of eye conditions, such as cataracts, diabetic eye disease and glaucoma. Monday mornings, however, one clinic is reserved for a much smaller group living with rare inherited retinal diseases.
"Most people have never heard about the diseases that I deal with, such as retina pigmentosa, Stargardt disease and Leber congenital amaurosis," said Sandeep Grover, MD, associate chair of ophthalmology. "Most of these conditions are progressive, with some eventually leading to blindness. Unfortunately, there are no treatments for most of them."
Sandeep Grover, MD
An inherited retinal disease is a type of eye disorder caused by a gene mutation that affects the retina, or the light-sensing cells in the back of the eye. These conditions can affect a patient's vision in different ways, including night-blindness, tunnel vision, impaired center vision or seeing distortions of lines and shapes, and some ultimately leading to blindness.
"When I have to tell parents their child has Leber congenital amaurosis and that they won't be able to see well for the rest of their life and we don't have any treatments, that can be very devastating for a couple to hear," Grover said. "But I also get to tell them that they are not alone. There are other families with children who also have it and they are members of a community and support system through the Foundation Fighting Blindness. It's the reason I helped start the Jacksonville chapter."
"Some of the ongoing research involves gene therapy, stem cell treatment or retinal pigment epithelium cell transplant."
Associate Chair of Ophthalmology, University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville
SIGHT-SEEING RESEARCH
The Foundation Fighting Blindness is the world's leading private funder of inherited retinal disease research. On an annual basis, the Foundation Fighting Blindness and the Foundation's Clinical Research Institute finance more than 100 research grants. This year, the Jacksonville chapter held its 10th annual VisionWalk, one of the foundation's signature events. Grover participates every year with his team Drishti, meaning vision, in support of the families affected by inherited retinal diseases in the region.
"There are various fronts in inherited retinal disease therapy," Grover said. "Some of the ongoing research involves gene therapy, stem cell treatment or retinal pigment epithelium cell transplant."
Grover is currently working to bring Luxturna to UF Health Ophthalmology – Jacksonville. It is the first gene therapy treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration for one kind of Leber congenital amaurosis and the only treatment approved so far to treat an inherited retinal disease. Currently, there are nine health care centers across the United States staffed with retina surgeons trained to administer the drug through an injection into the eye. The closest center to Jacksonville is in Miami.
"UF Health Jacksonville was one of only 10 centers in the past to administer an experimental eye treatment for retinitis pigmentosa, and I am hoping we can participate with this treatment at some point." Grover said.
He hopes this is the first of other medical breakthroughs to come that will one day slow the progression or even reverse it and prevent patients from going blind.
"This particular gene treatment is the first to surface," Grover said. "It took about 20 to 25 years for this treatment to be proven effective and approved. I think this has paved the way for other forms of treatment that will come faster and hopefully eradicate blindness from inherited retinal diseases."

Bus crash in Ecuador kills 24 people, injures 19
11:56 AM EDT, Tue August 14, 2018
QUITO, Ecuador — At least 24 people were killed and another 19 injured when a bus careened into another vehicle at high speed and overturned on a highway near Ecuador's capital Tuesday, officials reported.
The Colombian-registered bus was traveling to Quito when it hit a smaller vehicle in an area known as dead man's curve at about 3 a.m., Ecuadorean authorities said.
Col. Wilson Pavon, head of Ecuador's transit police, said the majority of the passengers aboard were Colombians, but that Venezuelans were also among the dead. Two minors traveling in the smaller vehicle were also killed.
A small fleet of ambulances and first responders rushed to the crash site about two hours from Quito before dawn. They found the severely wrecked bus overturned and several homes adjacent to the highway damaged and strewn with metal debris.
It's the second highway tragedy in less than three days in Ecuador.
On Sunday, 12 people were killed and another 30 injured when a bus carrying fans of the Ecuadorean soccer team Barcelona SC overturned on a highway after a game. Late Monday, relatives of the victims bid farewell to their loved ones at a collective wake held at Barcelona's stadium in Guayaquil.
Police were still investigating the causes of the earlier crash, but some eyewitnesses told local media that the bus carrying members of the Sur Oscura fan club that accompanies Barcelona to all its away games was seen trying to overtake other vehicles shortly before the crash.

Pineapple flowers are a cute cupcake or cake topper and are super easy to make!
Preheat oven to 220 F.
You don't want any spots on the pineapple. Don't worry if it's uneven-- that will help with the flower shape!
Take the teaspoon and make some scoops all over the pineapple. This will give the pineapple slices more of a flower look.
Thinly slice the pineapple and place on a baking sheet.
Bake the pineapples for about an hour, depending on how thick you sliced them. Flip the pineapple slices halfway through to make sure they lose their moisture. If you don't, the bottoms will still be soggy and they won't take the shape of a flower as well.
Place the pineapple slices in the cupcakes tins and return to the 170 F oven for one hour. Again, depending on how thick you sliced the pineapples, it may be more or less time.
Pineapple flowers make for the perfect edible spring decoration!
Perfect topping for some coconut cupcakes, and pina coladas!

Multigrain Atta is a unique flour blend that has become really popular in India. It combines wheat, soya, oats, maize, millet,barley, and Bengal Gram Dal to create a really nutritious blend. The taste is great and using it for the first time to bake bread I found it worked really well - the bread proofed really well and the texture was simply fantastic. Wish it could become available in my local Indian Grocery.
Sift together all the flours, add the oat germ, wheat bran, vital wheat gluten and salt.
Add the sugar to the water, mix well. Stir in the yeast. Cover and let proof for about 6 minutes.
To the frothy yeast, add the milk and one tablespoon of oil.
Pour this mix into the flour blend and bring together to make a soft dough.
Place the dough in a well oiled bowl, cover and allow to proof for about 45 minutes.
Now make the onion pepper blend for the bread.
Pour the oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and onions. Saute till transparent.
Now add the green peppers and fry till they are soft.
Turn off the heat, remove onto a plate and allow to cool completely.
Add this mix to the cooled dough, and knead it well such that it is completely incorporated.
Shape the prepared dough into a loaf, place in a loaf tin, cover and do a second proof.
Preheat the oven at 350F. Place the proofed loaf at the centre of the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then completely on a wire rack.
The loaf must be completely cool before slicing.
Your bread does look really yummy..and so healthful too! Great recipe!
Very interesting bread, with onions and capsicum can guess the flavour of this bread.

Houston shooting creates sorrow around U.S.
Maxwell W. '20, Writer
On Dec. 30, seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes died in a drive- by shooting between her mother's car and a red pickup truck on the east Beltway and Wallisville Road in Houston. Barnes' mother, LaPorsha Washington, was shot in the arm, and her 6-year-old sister was injured by broken glass from the gunshots. Her other two sisters were not harmed in the shooting.
After the shooting, which occurred at around seven in the morning, local police and federal authorities began searching for the killer of Barnes. Investigators believed the suspect was a white male in his early 40's with a beard wearing a red hooded sweatshirt. CNN stated the killer's intent was possibly tied to racism. African Americans and Barnes' family members were infuriated by this and desperately asked for help.
"It was not fair. It was not fair. He intentionally killed my child for no reason. He didn't even know her; he didn't know who she was," Washington said to ABC News.
One group who helped Washington was GoFundMe. This organization is non- profit oriented and allows people to raise money for events or projects such as graduations, celebrations, illnesses or accidents. Two thousand- five hundred people raised money with this program for Barnes' funeral expenses and other tasks. One publicized contribution came from Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins who donated his playoff check to the family.
"I feel this event is very tragic and horrible for the city of Houston. I hope the Barnes family recovers from this event," Hannah M.'20 said.
Another major contribution is from journalist Shaun King and civil rights attorney Lee Merritt who promised a $35,000 reward for anybody who finds the killer. Thousands of people across the U.S. contributed to the cause, including those who participated in a justice rally for Barnes and her family. Among the people at the rally were Gabrielle Union, Olivia Wilde and Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr.
"The Jasmine Barnes story is a tragedy, but unfortunately not that uncommon today. At the heart of the story is troubled youths who fell victim to the gang mentality and made a mistake in targeting a rival," A.P. Government and Civil and Criminal Law teacher Gaven Jones said.
Because of the justice rally and other events in Houston, the reward grew to $100,000. On Jan. 5, police identified and arrested two black men as the suspects. Eric Black Jr., 20, was charged with capital murder and Larry Woodruffe, 24, received a drug charge, but was later identified as the shooter by investigators. Authorities are still looking to see if there were any other particpants in the shooting.
"I feel this event is heartbreaking and hard to swallow for her family. Her story needs to be a platform for people to hear around the United States," Shane S.'20 said.
The death of Barnes has broken the hearts of Houston residents and people across the country. Her funeral service was held on Jan. 8 where the public and Barnes' family paid their
respects. Several black celebrities came to the service to show respect for Barnes and her struggling family.
"I say this is a very special homegoing, because I got a beautiful angel up there watching over me," Washington said about her daughter.

My lotus white chocolate is, by far, the most exotic recipe from the book. I wanted 'healing meals' to show how everyday, easy-to-get and affordable foods can be the most powerful and tasty medicine you've ever come across. But you know what? You sometimes have to splurge. There's a time for contracting and simplifying and there's a time for expanding and indulging. My lotus white chocolates will help to accomplish the latter and make your taste buds do their happy dance!
Now off to the kitchen you go to practice the art and joy of homecooking!
Pour hot water into a sauce pan & place a bowl in/over it. Make sure the inside of the bowl remains dry & the outside bottom touches the water. Place cacao butter in & let melt. This technique is called au bain marie. Add coconut blossom sugar to liquid cacao butter & use steel whisk or fork to mix together. Add vanilla extract & mix well. Place mulberries, cashews & sea salt in food processor & pulse until fine chunks appear. Add to cacao butter mixture. Mix in. Distribute mixture over four (silicon) (muffin) moulds & place one dried lotus chip in each of them. Make sure the lotus stays near the top of the chocolate otherwise you won't see it when set. Let cool at room temperature for an hour or so. Place in the fridge until fully solid. Serve or store.
Tips: *you may choose to use raw or activated cashews. To bring out extra cashew flavour roast them shortly in a dry skillet at low heat. Store chocolates chilled when weather is hot. These make wonderful (holiday/birthday) gifts!

Fueling success via employee engagement and talent: 6 straightforward strategies for hospital leaders
- Tuesday, July 5th, 2016 Print	| Email
Dissatisfaction and disengagement are endemic among the American workforce. In healthcare, rates of disengagement and burnout are especially concerning, threatening patient outcomes, the patient experience and ultimately the hospital's bottom line.
According to the 2014 Gallup study of employee engagement, 52 percent of full-time workers are not involved or enthusiastic about their work, while 40 percent said they are only passively engaged or actively disengaged. In the healthcare industry specifically, these problems are exacerbated by a high rate of leadership turnover: In 2015, hospital CEO turnover hit 18 percent, the second highest rate since 2000.
A disengaged hospital workforce poses many issues to a hospital and the patients it serves. Disengaged employees are linked to higher rates of turnover, absenteeism and errors on the job. They are also linked to lower productivity, profits and customer satisfaction, explained Donna Katen-Bahensky, CEO of DKB Consulting, during a June 29 webinar sponsored by Select International. Ms. Katen-Bahensky previously served as president and CEO of Madison-based University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics and Iowa City-based University of Iowa Hospital Clinics.
On the flipside, engaged employees are more energized about their work, are committed to their jobs, are willing and able to solve problems and are actively engaged in using their skills, experience and creativity.
"Hospital staff drive the patient experience," said Ms. Katen-Bahensky. "Without engaged employees, you do not have a positive patient experience. [The employees] are the ones that have a direct impact on the patient experience and quality of care." And while all healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to improve quality and maintain a safe hospital environment, "We all want to work in an organization in which people are happy, thriving and wake up every morning wanting to go to work."
When it comes to addressing employee engagement, hospital leaders are beginning to refine their talent strategies to ensure the hospital workforce is a strong cultural fit and aligns with the organization's core values. Here are six best practices for building a positive hospital workforce.
1. Define the organization's values — and anti-values. If an organization does not have a clearly defined set of values, there is no structure to guide employees' behavior. This in itself can incite disengagement, but it can also lead to hiring the wrong people.
"We use our values in every decision, especially recruiting and hiring," said Mark Sevco, president of Monroeville, Pa-based UPMC East, which opened in 2012, and UPMC McKeesport. "We found over the years that if we have satisfied employees, that will lead to very loyal patients, financial viability and sustained competitive advantage. But that starts with values and building patient engagement."
Establishing strong values is integral to the hiring and recruiting process. When evaluating job candidates, hiring managers and hospital leaders can gauge whether a prospective employee could embody the organization's values to determine if he or she would be a good fit. Additionally, by including "anti-values" — behaviors that won't be tolerated — in employee contracts, hospital leaders will have grounds to discipline or terminate "toxic" employees who don't exemplify the core values, according to Mr. Sevco.
2. Use a behavioral competency assessment to select and develop talent. To incorporate the organization's values into the hiring process, UPMC East worked with Select International to implement a suite of healthcare-specific behavioral competency assessments to evaluate whether prospective employees would act in a desired way in various situations. The tests screen employees from the outset and identify existing employees' behavioral deficiencies to target areas for improvement, according to Mr. Sevco.
While technical competency and experience are important to hiring decisions, Mr. Sevco pointed out behavior and attitude are equally — if not more — significant determinants of a candidate's future success. "We hire for talent and behavioral traits over experience — even when considering internal candidates who have lots of experience," he said. "The behavioral assessment tools helped us ensure applicants have what we are looking for: a sense of compassion, an upbeat attitude and enthusiasm."
3. Enhance communication across the board. "Why do we sometimes struggle to deliver an exceptional patient experience?" said Brad Weeks, director of performance improvement and research at HealthStream, a healthcare workforce solutions company. "The key factor is confidence."
According to Mr. Weeks, employees throughout the organization need confidence that they have the support of leadership, as well as the resources to provide the best possible care. Patients also need to feel confident that they are safe and receiving high-quality care.
Confidence in both of these groups is predicated on communication. Employees will feel more confident when they maintain candid and transparent communication with hospital leadership, and patients feel the most confident and have positive experiences when they feel the clinical staff respects and listens to them.
4. Invite physicians to the decision-making table. The "key lever to pull" when it comes to increasing physician engagement is allowing them to provide input on clinical and administrative decisions, according to Mr. Weeks. "Make sure their voices are heard and used in a meaningful way to improve patient care — that's where their passion is," said Mr. Weeks.
At healthcare organizations with hybrid models — both employed and affiliated physicians — physician engagement may be somewhat of a challenge, according to Mr. Sevco. However, it should be a top priority. By showing physicians data on patient satisfaction and enabling them to identify strategies to improve, hospital leaders can help facilitate stronger physician engagement as well as enhanced patient experience.
5. Give genuine recognition and give it frequently. Physicians, like everyone else, need to feel valued and appreciated, according to Ms. Katen-Bahensky. Hospital leaders can renew or increase physician engagement and commitment simply by recognizing their accomplishments and the value they lend to the organization. "Giving recognition is important for showing the good work they are doing," she said. "You have to continuously nurture clinicians. Be visible to them, listen to their issues and recognize their work."
6. Expand the role of the human resources department. HR is no longer transactional. Senior HR leaders need a seat at the table with C-suite and board leaders, and they should be included in every critical decision related to the hospital's strategy and planning for the future, according to Ms. Katen-Bahensky. "Discussions can't be all about money and nothing about people," she said. "You can't do anything without people."

The Dharwad bench of the High Court of Karnataka has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe the missing case of a fruit vendors baby.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Shankaramma Poojari, a fruit vendor who sought directions to the police to find her missing child.
According to the petitioner, she gave birth to the child at a hospital in Bagalkot on Novermber 9, 2016. She was also issued birth certificate. However, a few days after the childs birth (on November 13), her husband Veeresh, Renuka Parutagouda and Sharnamma Parutagouda came to the hospital and assaulted her.
Thereafter, she was discharged from the hospital. Despite repeated pleadings, the hospital did not hand over the child to her. The police also refused to register her complaint.
The petitioner then approached the district health officer. The police thereafter registered a false complaint and forced her to sign on the complaint, saying her baby was dead and the matter was settled.
She said this was a conspiracy by the nursing home, her husband and other respondents.
Stating that the baby had been wrongfully retained by the nursing home, she requested the court for issuance of habeas corpus, directing the respondents to produce her baby.
The court said there was no material to prove the baby was found dead on November 13, as per the police complaint.
The court, in its order, said all respondents, specifically the police and the hospital, had colluded in closing the matter by showing that the baby was dead and the body had been disposed of through the bio-medical waste treatment facility in Bagalkot.
The court directed for the transfer of investigation from the police to the CBI, and asked the CBI to take required action .

Ascending a sea of knobs on the steep west face of Yosemite's Fairview Dome, John Bachar was enjoying a fine autumn day, cool and quiet without another climber in sight. As usual, he was free soloing: climbing without a partner, rope or protective gear.
That contentment quickly became alarm when, about 100 feet up, he spotted a terrifying flaw on his new route, which no one had ever climbed before: a knob of rock which looked too fragile to trust with his weight, but which he absolutely needed to complete his ascent.
"From the bottom, it looked really good. Then I got there, and after I stood up, I could see that it had this crack in it," Bachar recalled. "It just looked like it was going to break. You might stand on it if you've got a rope, but soloing, you would never want to stand on it.
In such a situation, Bachar normally would have exercised discretion as the better part of valor and simply climbed back down again. But on this occasion, he had made a difficult and irreversible high-step move just moments before. Climbing up was a life-threatening gamble. Climbing down was impossible. On the route Bachar later named "Solitary Confinement," he felt trapped as if in jail.
The dubious knob held, Bachar moved past it quickly, and completed the easier climbing above with the overwhelming relief and adrenaline rush of a man who narrowly cheated death.
Bachar described the scare at my request when I met him in June. I was collecting material for a book of Yosemite adventure stories, and though we had never met, he kindly shared a few when I called him out of the blue. But for this world-class athlete, close calls were the exception, not the rule. Bachar trained exhaustively and routinely shocked the climbing community with ropeless ascents of such routes as New Dimensions, the first 5.11 in Yosemite, The Nabisco Wall (5.11C), and the East Buttress of Lower Cathedral Rock, a "gnarly" 12-pitch affair more than 1,000 feet tall.
For more than 30 years, Bachar embraced the rewards and perils of free solo climbing, a controversial approach he defended when we met for coffee in Mammoth Lakes.
"On the one hand, there's this incredible danger. If you fall, you're dead after you're 50 feet off the ground. But on the other hand, you're completely safe," he said, in reference to climbs within his ability range. "And there's the feeling that you're doing something that you shouldn't be doing, or you're in a place that most people never go, like being on the moon maybe… Free soloing has that sort of intrigue.
As a climber with just a small fraction of Bachar's ability and experience, I didn't presume to debate him. Though part of me wished I had when, two weeks later, Bachar fell to his death while free soloing at Dike Wall near Mammoth Lakes, where he had climbed countless times before. Because no one witnessed the accident, the exact cause of the fall isn't known. He was 52, and left behind a 12-year-old son, Tyrus.
In wake of the tragedy, it's tempting to conclude that free soloing is a reckless practice and unacceptably dangerous under any circumstances. With the consequences of a single mistake so severe and irrevocable, why would anyone take the risk? These thoughts certainly came to me when I read the awful news, accompanied by guilt for not challenging the bold position my new friend had expressed.
But upon further reflection, I realized that stark line of black-and-white reasoning doesn't address the issue's subtle complexity. Free soloists are a rare breed, but who in the outdoors community hasn't assumed some risk? Skied a steep run? Biked without a helmet? Ran out a pitch?
Since I began the sport in 1994, the vast majority of my climbing has been in traditional, roped style. I'm cautious perhaps to a fault, with only a handful of leader falls in 16 years. Yet I'm sure that in my limited exposure, I've taken greater risks than Bachar assumed on Dike Wall during his final hour. So have countless others who have climbed, hiked, swam, crossed the street without looking, exceeded the speed limit or texted while driving. The fact that we walked away from these hazards shows that we got lucky, not that we're any smarter or fitter than those who suffered accidents.
Climbing and other outdoor pursuits are central to the lives of many. These activities change for the better the lives of even those who sample them only occasionally. But without some danger, outdoor recreation as we know it could not exist. We need it to make us who we are. Defining acceptable risk is an essential and critical assessment that no one can make for another.
The heartbreaking fact that Bachar made a mistake and paid the ultimate price for it doesn't make that advice wrong.

First A330-300P2F enters service with DHL
DHL's international express operations to benefit from a new-generation and efficient mid-sized A330 freighter
Dresden, 1 December 2017 – DHL Express has become the first operator to take delivery of the A330-300 Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) converted aircraft from Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW), the joint venture between ST Aerospace and Airbus following the successful completion of test flights in October and awarding of the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in November. DHL Express has firm orders for eight A330-300P2F units in total, with additional options to receive another 10.
"DHL Express is very excited to be bringing the first A330-300P2F into commercial operation within our international air network," said Mr Geoff Kehr, SVP, Global Air Fleet Management, DHL Express. "The first aircraft is scheduled to strengthen our Asia Pacific air network, bringing added capacity and increased efficiency to a market where we are seeing dynamic express volume growth"
Dr Andreas Sperl, CEO of EFW said, "I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the trust DHL Express placed in us. This was a great motivation and we are very proud that we justified this trust by delivering the A330-300P2F on time. This delivery, which marks a milestone in EFW´s history, also showcases the synergy formed by the deep operational and engineering expertise between EFW and parent company, ST Aerospace. As the most modern converted freighter in the industry, the A330-300 P2F will support operators well with Fly-By-Wire-technology and 26 full container positions in the upper cargo deck."
Mr Lim Serh Ghee, President of ST Aerospace said, "The smooth process in attaining EASA's STC reflects the strength & quality in the engineering and design of the PTF solution, as well as our close working relationship with the aircraft original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Airbus and the aircraft conversion expertise of EFW. The delivery of our first A330-300P2F is a good start to the conversion programme. We are confident the freighter will serve DHL well, and we look forward to the next redelivery in early 2018."
The A330P2F conversion programme, launched in 2012, is a collaboration between ST Aerospace, Airbus and their joint venture EFW. ST Aerospace, as the programme and technical lead for the engineering development phase, is responsible for applying for the STCs from EASA and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Airbus contributes to the programme with OEM data and certification support, while EFW leads the industrialisation phase and marketing for the freighter conversion programme.
The A330P2F programme has two variants – the A330-200P2F and the larger A330- 300P2F. The latter is ideal for serving the international express B2B and e-commerce cargo markets, which typically have a higher volume and lower density. The aircraft can carry up to 62 metric tonnes over 3,650 nautical miles, while offering 20 percent more cargo volume and lower cost-per-tonne than other available freighter aircraft types with a similar range.
ST Aerospace is one of the leading companies in freighter conversion in the world with a track record of over 400 conversions completed to-date. Leveraging its engineering expertise, it is the only company offering both Boeing & Airbus freighter conversions through its own STCs that are developed using original OEM engineering data.
EFW (Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH) is a 55:45 joint venture of ST Aerospace and Airbus Group, based in Dresden, Germany. EFW combines various aviation and technology activities under one roof, including passenger-to-freighter aircraft conversions, maintenance and repair of Airbus aircraft, and the development and manufacturing of flat fibre-reinforced composite components for structures and interiors of the entire Airbus family of aircraft. Apart from being the exclusive supplier for composite flat panels to Airbus for all Airbus aircraft, EFW serves as ST Aerospace's centre for passenger-to-freighter conversions, aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), as well as engineering services in Europe, leveraging ST Aerospace's global network, track record and expertise in aircraft MRO and engineering.

The Simpsons Are Still Predicting the Future, and It's Plant-Based
Spencer Whaley
It is well known in the world of The Simpsons that fans of the iconic show believe it predicts the future. There was one episode that predicted a President Donald Trump, and there is even a brand new rumor that the show presaged Trump getting COVID-19, although an article in Newsweek found the picture in question to be doctored, and not from any Simpsons episode. But more broadly the show predicted a plant-based world.
Creator Matt Groening could be accused of sorcery, having transversed the decades in a time travel machine, and enjoying a laugh as he duped us, unsuspecting viewers, with his tickling tease of what is coming down the pike from the future, which only he has visited. But instead of winning the lottery or the Super Bowl pool, he has used this seeing eye to show us ways that the world is changing, evolving, as if we are pawns in a game only he can see.
A most recent example: the growth of plant-based eating, which his character Lisa, lived out in her episodes that started with a guest visit from Paul and Linda McCartney, way back in 1995. Sir Paul, now knighted, is the founder of Meatless Mondays, which he started in England (as No Meat Mondays) when beloved Linda died of breast cancer, with daughters Stella (the designer) and Mary (the photographer) to honor their late wife and mom.
The Simpson visit from Paul and Linda, two dedicated vegetarians, was a meaningful episode since as they were asked to guest-star they had an ask in return. They would come on the show as long as the creators adhered to one important stipulation: that Lisa would remain vegetarian for the rest of the series. Groening and the showrunners agreed, in part because one of the creators, David Mirkin, recently had become a vegetarian himself. The episode was a hit, receiving accolades from the press, with the writer John Serba of the Grand Rapids Press calling it his favorite episode, "because the tale of Lisa's conversion to vegetarianism has more humorous scenes per square inch than any other episode."
We loved this episode and Paul and Linda's real voices. Plus, watch to the end for a quick snip of "Maybe I'm Amazed..." Watch the remastered version with an ode to Linda here.
Rumor has it that over the years, writing and creating the much-loved animated characters, Matt Groening was so influenced by Lisa's lifelong conversion and commitment to vegetarianism that he himself ditched meat, a classic tale of art imitating life, imitating art. The episode has continued to inspire vegetarians everywhere and is still one of the most "meme-ified" on social channels. Vegans begged Groening to make Lisa convert to veganism. She kept her stalwart commitment to no meat, and one wonders: Did the Simpsons yet again predict the future, and it's plant-based!

Take Our Poll: Should Texas Celebrate Confederate Heroes Day


The constellation Ursa Major is not only the third biggest of all the 88 recognized constellations, taking up an area of 1279.66 square degrees, or 3.10% of the night sky, but it is also one of the oldest recorded, with a history that dates back to pre-historic times. This means that it was already old and well-known to most ancient cultures by the time Ptolemy included it in his astronomical treatise Almagest in the early 2nd century AD, which he listed under the Greek name "Arktos Megale", whose subsequent Latin name Ursa Major means the "greater she-bear".
Named after its discoverer, the German astronomer Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826), this grand design spiral galaxy is the biggest of the 34-member group of galaxies called M81, which is a relative neighbour to the Local Group of Galaxies. Both groups of galaxies are relative neighbors to the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.
Being relatively close to Earth, M81 is among the most studied spiral galaxies by professional astronomers due both to the 70-million solar mass black hole situated at its core, and the fact that M81 and its neighbors, M82 and NGC 3077, are involved in a gravitational tug of war that is stripping dust and gas from all three galaxies. This material is continually being "recycled" between all three galaxies in a process that causes a high rate of star formation in both M82 and NGC 3077.
Look for M81 about 10 degrees to the north-westward of the star Dubhe (Alpha Ursae Majoris), where several other members of the M81 Group can also be seen. While M81 itself is an easy target for both binoculars and modest amateur telescopes, instruments of 8-inch aperture and larger are required to discern any structure within the galaxy. Note that M81 is only visible for southern hemisphere observers that are immediately south of the equator.
Located about 12 million light years away, this edge-on (hence its apparent shape) spiral galaxy is a close neighbor of M81, and the prototypical example of I0 galaxies, which are a chaotic in form type of Irregular Galaxy. In terms of its luminosity, this starburst galaxy is more than five times brighter than the Milky Way, and its core is at least one hundred times brighter than the core of our own galaxy. In 2014, investigations into M82 led to the discovery of the pulsar now designated M82 X-2, which with a luminosity of about ten million Suns, is the most luminous pulsar yet discovered anywhere in the Universe.
M82 is an easy target for small to medium amateur telescopes. Look for the galaxy close to M81, about 10 degrees to the north-westward of the star Alpha Ursae Majoris. When viewed from Earth, the cores of M81 and M82 appear to be separated by about 130,000 light years, but the actual separation is 300,000 light years, give or take about 200-300 light years.
First discovered by French astronomer Pierre Méchain in 1781, M101 is perhaps the most iconic of all known grand design spiral galaxies. With a diameter of 170,000 light years, M101 is slightly bigger than the Milky Way, and contains at least 100 billion disc stars, and a further estimated 3 billion stars in its central bulge.
However, M101 is better known for its many H II regions, most of which are unusually big and bright, where large numbers of stars are forming. In fact, a study during 1990 showed that M101 has a total of 1,264 star forming regions, three of which are so bright and prominent that they have their own NGC designations included in the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC), i.e., NGC 5461, NGC 5462, and NGC 5471.
Two further distinguishing features of M101 are that it has 5 companion galaxies (NGC 5204, NGC 5474, NGC 5477, NGC 5585) whose combined gravitational effects are distorting M101, and that it contains a suspected low-mass binary black hole, designated M101 ULX-1. This suspected black hole may only weigh in at about 20-30 or so solar masses, but the high-energy X-rays emitted by the system shows that it is consuming material at a rate that is several times higher than what standard models predict, or allow for.
Although M101 is relatively bright at magnitude +7.86, it has a low surface brightness, which means that it is not an easy target for small telescopes. In fact, seeing this galaxy at all requires exceptionally dark skies, and telescopes with at least 8 inches of clear aperture. Use low-power eye pieces for the best views.
Discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, this planetary nebula derives its name after a sketch made of it in 1848 by the Earl of Rosse who exaggerated it to resemble the face of an owl. Located about 2,000 light years away, this nebula is about 8,000 years old, and was molded by the solar wind of its progenitor star as it evolved along the asymptotic branch of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
Look for the Owl Nebula about 2.5 degrees to the south-eastward of the star Merak (Beta Ursae Majoris) at the south-western corner of the Big Dipper's bowl. A line drawn from Merak through the star Dubhe (Alpha Ursae Majoris) at the north-western corner of the bowl, points directly to Polaris. However, while the nebula is visible as a faint patch of light in large binoculars and small telescopes, larger instrument of 8-inch aperture will show the "eyes" of the owl if seeing conditions are exceptionally good, and the sky is completely dark.
Of the deep-sky objects in Ursa Major, the three galaxies and one nebula listed above are the most easily found and viewed. However, Ursa Major contains a number of other galaxies, most notably the barred spiral galaxies M108 and M109, and a few double stars although these objects may be difficult to spot from urban areas where light pollution is a limiting factor.

Rihanna takes father to court
Categories: America
Rihanna, the famous Barbadian singer, songwriter, and actress, has taken her father to court in the US for allegedly milking her name in order to advance his entertainment business. The pop icon has claimed that her father, Ronald Fenty and his business partner have misled the public into believing that she is associated with their firm, Fenty Entertainment.
In accordance with the lawsuit, their conduct has adversely impacted her Fenty Beauty cosmetics brand and she has consequently asked the court to interdict the firm from employing the Fenty name. Furthermore, the lawsuit states that Rihanna is the owner of trade marks in the US for the Fenty name and has previously furnished 'cease and desist' requests to the defendants who 'continue to this date to use their misrepresentations for their commercial advantage and to mislead the public'. It goes on to propound that '[t]his fraudulent conduct harms not only plaintiffs but the public at large and requires judicial intervention'.
Rihanna has vocalised her difficult relationship with Mr Fenty who started the firm in California in 2017, alongside his business partner Moses Perkins. Apparently, a press release that was posted on the firm's website until 'at least October 2018', reported the launch of the firm 'with' Rihanna despite her having no involvement in this regard. Moreover, the complaint states that Fenty Entertainment has in the past, entered into negotiations on Rihanna's behalf for 15 musical performances in Latin America without seeking the artist's authorisation. The lawsuit emphasises that '[a]lthough Mr Fenty is Rihanna's father, he does not presently, nor has he ever, had the authority to act on Rihanna's behalf or had the right to use her Fenty mark, to exploit the goodwill of her Fenty brands or to solicit business on her behalf'.


Alton Towers, one of Britain's most popular amusement parks has placed a ban on male Speedo wear.
Citing the wish to keep their park family friendly and to curb unfortunate exposure accidents (ouch!), the park has become a banana hammock kill zone.
I would ban them just because they're plain tacky! Even Justin Timberlake agrees - sorta!
With the exception of Olympic divers, of course, I'm thinkin' they should be banned everywhere!
