Utah Tech men's basketball comes out on top against Chapman University

Utah Tech University men's basketball had its highest scoring game this season with a 99-58 win against Chapman University because of its discipline on and off the court.
This game was the Trailblazers' first time playing the Panthers, so a lot of preparation was essential to come in with the right mindset and determination to win. The Trailblazers came prepared, as they scored the highest amount of points so far this season.
No. 2 Trey Edmonds, a sophomore psychology major from Aurora, Colorado, said the focus in practice was to make sure the team wasn't taking its foot off the gas. Even though they were playing a new team, they still had to put their best foot forward.
Edmonds said, "Coach wrote on the board before the game 'discipline', so we have to stick to what we know, stick to what we do, our defensive principles and play smart."
Head coach Jon Judkins had a big part in keeping the players grounded in practice and striving to play their best on the court no matter the opposing team.
Judkins said: "We always challenge our guys by asking, 'Do you want to be a great team or a good team?' A great team means no matter who you are playing, you are playing great. A good team plays down to their competition. Tonight we did a good job with being a great team."
The Panthers started off the game on the scoreboard, but the Trailblazers quickly bounced back. The two teams fought hard for the ball and continued scoring back and forth. Utah Tech was able to take the lead after nine minutes into the first half, and they stayed on top for the rest of the game. By the end of the first half, the Trailblazers led 51-29.
Utah Tech kicked off the second half with a 3-pointer by No. 21, Isaiah Pope, a junior communication studies major from Yorba Linda, California. The momentum stayed the rest of the half with the score growing from an additional six 3-pointers, multiple free throws, layups and jump shots. The Trailblazers ended the game with its highest score in a season game yet, 99-58.
No. 3 Cameron Gooden, a senior recreation and sports management major from Frisco, Texas, said to keep the momentum they will need to continue playing selfless games of basketball by sharing the ball between teammates and getting everybody involved.
"We just need to not get out of character on the court," Gooden said. "We need to prove that we can stay locked in regardless of who is out there."
Utah Tech will stay in St. George to try for another win against The Master's University Dec. 17.

Mala beads are known to protect and guide us in our daily lives. Activating your mala is the perfect way to connect your beads to your energy, and set your intention.
When choosing your intention, we recommend using your intuition and being as specific as possible – if you want your mala to bring you success, think about which situations you'd like to see that success – is it at work, through relationships? Tell your mala.
To get the most out of your intention setting ceremony, you will want to create a quiet space where you can feel comfortable and relaxed. Light your favourite candle or incense, and allow negative energy to remove itself from your thoughts and your surroundings. It's important that you feel calm and relaxed when setting your mala's intentions.
Sit down, close your eyes, and slowly begin lengthening your breath.
State your intention to the beads with a clear and calm mind. Move the mala through your fingers, avoiding your pointer finger (as it represents ego). And don't forget to be as specific as you can when stating your intention to your beads.
Visualise yourself finding peace of mind and inner calmness.
"Om Hrim Name Shivaya Om" is a traditional mantra for activating and sealing the energy in your mala. Chant this at least three times, while ensuring you remain calm and comfortable.
Seal the energetic bond with your mala by sitting for at least five minutes. Remember to continue breathing slowly and relaxing with your mala – this is the beginning of a long journey together and the perfect opportunity to get acquainted.

Q: Action of $SL_{n+1}$ on couples of linear spaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$. Let $SL_{n+1}$ act on $\mathbb{P}^n$ in the natural way. Suppose I take two linear subspaces $\mathbb{P}^m$ and $\mathbb{P}^{n-m}$, with $m < n$, that intersect in one point. Is the action of $SL_{n+1}$ transitive on the set of such couples of linear subspaces?

A: Sure it does. Denote your variety by $X$. Consider this action on the corresponding vector space $V$. Then your projective subspaces correspond to linear subspaces $V_1$ and $V_2$ of dimension $m+1$ and $n-m+1$ that intersect transversely. There is an obvious projection from the variety $Y$ of all frames in $V$ to $X$ (take the linear hull of the first $m+1$ and the last $n-m+1$ vectors). Now, up to a multiplication of all the vectors in the frame by a common scalar, $SL_{n+1}$ acts transitively on $Y$. Thus, it acts transitively on $X$.

Betty Lynn, Otherwise Known as Thelma Lou
By Christi PeltSeptember 28, 2016Featured, Guest-Who
Fans of The Andy Griffith Show know her best as Thelma Lou, the steady sweetheart of Barney Fife, but she occasionally answers to her real name, Betty Lynn. Ms. Lynn adopted Andy Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, NC as her own almost a decade ago. It was there, at the annual Mayberry Days Festival, that I had the pleasure of meeting her. Hold on to your hats, Mayberry fans, because this is BIG!
As any good imaginary talk show host would do, I took the time to do a little research on my first very real guest. I discovered my best source of information to be Melvin, the gentleman who took Landon and me on a squad car tour of Mount Airy. Melvin was a wealth of information, as he has been friends with Betty Lynn for several years. One Friday a month, Ms. Lynn spends time at the Andy Griffith Museum, talking to fans and signing autographs. Melvin insists he has never heard a single person in town say anything negative about her. Yes, Melvin, I do understand how rare that is. He said, several times a year, he gets a call from Ms. Lynn asking if he has time to take a drive. That's a sign she has a visitor in town–normally an actor friend from Hollywood or Broadway. On those occasions, Melvin doesn't need to play tour guide and point out the local sights. On those days, he just drives and listens.
Melvin, the best tour guide in Mount Airy, NC
I took a cue from Melvin and did my level best to listen more than I talked, while in the presence of Betty Lynn. She has traveled with the U.S.O., performed on Broadway, starred opposite Robert Young in her film debut, been a co-star to Bette Davis in two movies, and acted in several other films and numerous television shows. But most people want to hear about her days on The Andy Griffith Show, so that will be the focus of this interview.
It's her!
My favorite quote of the evening had to be one made when Ms. Lynn was speaking about her time on The Andy Griffith Show. The beloved actress said, "I enjoyed every minute of it. Absolutely. Oh, it was glorious! And I'm just the happiest old lady you ever met."
It's really her!
I believe she is the happiest lady I've ever met, though, even at the age of 90, she didn't seem old. Yes, she's in a wheelchair much of the time because, as she says, she gets tired out if she walks from the car to the front door. Yet, there is a still a childlike quality about her and a sweetness normally only found on black and white television shows. While speaking to her, she grabbed on to my hand, clutched it to her chest and held on for the duration of our conversation. It was like she was saying, "This is your time. Pay no attention to the line of people waiting to meet me."

In case you're curious, Ms. Lynn has the softest skin I have ever felt.
On Working On The Andy Griffith Show
An interesting fact is that Betty Lynn was never under contract for The Andy Griffith Show. Surprisingly, Thelma Lou, a character who is so well loved and remembered, only appeared in twenty-six of the 249 episodes. At $500 per episode, she wasn't getting rich, even in the 1960s. But, as Barney Fife said, "You see, Opie, it ain't only the materialist things in this world that make a person rich. There's love and friendship. That can make a person rich."
In that case, the role of Thelma Lou made Betty Lynn an incredibly wealthy woman.
Can you believe it's her?
She said, "We love The Andy Griffith Show, all of us who were on it. We were so privileged to be on that show. And I couldn't wait when they put a call in for me. I couldn't wait to go because I loved doing it so much and everybody on it was wonderful. As actors they were all great to work with. And that doesn't happen every day of the week in show business. I did a lot of movies and things, but the thing I'm proudest of, really, was being on The Andy Griffith Show. And I loved it so much."
On Favorite Episodes

It made me smile to learn that Thelma Lou still watches reruns of The Andy Griffith Show each chance she gets. I told her I wanted to bring her some cashew fudge in honor of her birthday. She immediately knew I was referring to the episode entitled, "Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt". In the episode, Thelma Lou teaches Barney a lesson after he tells Gomer he has Thelma Lou in his hip pocket. After she breaks a date, Barney says, "Thelma Lou and I have always had a standing date on Tuesday nights. Every Tuesday night for as long as I can remember we're setting on that couch, a pan of cashew fudge between us, watching that doctor show on TV."
Betty Lynn and Jim Nabors
Ms. Lynn laughed and said, "Would you believe I never have had cashew fudge? I've always wanted to try it! I've looked for it in candy shops, but you can't find it anywhere. I'll bet it's delicious! I like cashews. I like fudge."
One of Betty Lynn's favorite restaurants in Mount Airy is called "The Loaded Goat," after The Andy Griffith Show episode of the same name. She still gets tickled talking about it.
"Remember where they thought the goat had eaten dynamite and they were all scared to death of it? I can still see the scene in my mind where Andy and Don are leading that goat out of town slowly down the path. It's so funny!"
On Mayberry Days
I'm just going to stare at you for a while, if that's okay.
"I'm very grateful. And thank you for coming every year that you can. I've talked to a lot of people that it's their first time. Or they came last year and this is their 2nd time. So, keep it up if you can.
"Anyway, it's all the different things that bring people here. It's quite interesting, really. And each one of you… I hope you'll all come back next year. And I hope I'm here next year. That would be nice! I hope you do get a chance to come back and visit in Mayberry, as some people call it–Mount Airy, NC–and come back and visit with us. And I love all of you very much."
Lovefest in Mayberry
Landon and Thelma Lou
The following day, Ms. Lynn spotted Landon at the Mayor's Proclamation and called him over to her. There, they had their own little lovefest!
Landon said, "I just want you to know how much I love you."
Ms. Lynn replied, "No, I love you!"
When he insisted that he loved her more, she said, "You can't love me more." At home, Landon confessed that he believed she was right. She loves her fans with every fiber of her adorable being.
Personally, I've always thought Barney Fife was a fool to let his steady girl slip through his hands because, to quote him, "Thelma Lou, you're the cats." Thelma Lou was the cats, and so is the actress who played her.

In the previous Angular 6 tutorial we've seen how to build a CRUD web application with a Django REST framework API back-end. In this tutorial we'll see how we can integrate the Angular 6 front-end with the Django back-end.
After creating both the back-end and front-end apps we need to integrate them i.e instead of taking the approach where both applications are completely separated, we'll serve the front-end application using a Django view. In development we'll have both Django development server and Angular/Webpack dev server running but for production we'll only need a Django server.
The webpack-bundle-tracker is a Webpack plugin that generates a stats file containing meta data information about the assets of your front-end application generated by Webpack.
We'll start by installing the webpack-bundle-tracker module then update the Webpack configuration file to make use of this plugin.
If the ejection is successful you'll find a webpack.config.js in the root of your folder.
If you serve your application you'll have a ../webpack-stats.json in the parent folder i.e the root of the Django project.
After ejecting your Webpack configuration from the Angular 6 CLI you won't be able to use ng serve instead you'll have to use npm run start to serve your application.
Next let's install The django-webpack-loader package which will take care of reading the webpack-stats.json and insert the assets in a Django template.
You can find more settings that you can use via this link.
That's because http://localhost:8000 sends requests to the Webpack dev server (http://localhost:4200) to get source code changes so we need to update headers to allow request from all origins.
Throughout this tutorial we have integrated both Angular 6 front-end and the Django REST API back-end.


Here at MOST, we provide you with an easy to use audio and video approach to learning. Each course is about one hour long, and is completely prepared by MOST founder, Steve McLean. He brings nearly 40 years of experience in the water field to each course, giving you the benefit of his expertise as an Operator, Chemist, Engineer, Researcher, and Plant Manager.
I will like to get your WD3 Pipe Systems. How do I get it. It does not provide an "add to shopping cart" log. ?
Unfortunately, WD-3 is not ready to go yet. This is true for several of the courses that are listed. If you don't see the "Add to Cart" icon at the bottom of the course description, it's because I'm still working on it.
Actually, WD-3 is nearly complete, so I hope you'll see the "Add to Cart" soon for that course. I'll also announce it in the blog.
Hi Steve, don't know if you remember me I work for the city of Northglenn Colorado, and purchased all your math classes that you put on a disc for us. I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing what you do. your style is just what I needed. I have been to several classes and took the test 3 times in the past (water B ) and received a score of 52 three times not doing any of the math problems. this time after working with your disc I just received a passing score for the B and will now be going after my A..
thanks you again for all your help your mathe lessons made the difference..
Thank you, Ferral! It was your idea to put my Water Math courses on DVD. I've had dozens of people buy the DVD now, and their feedback, like yours, has been very positive. Good luck with your Colorado A license!

WATCH: Eminem's Awkward Appearance on ESPN
"Live TV freaks me out a little bit," said the rap star
By Melissa Locker @woolyknickersSept. 09, 2013
Eminem Makes Really Awkward TV Appearance Newser
Eminem hits ESPN's 'Saturday Night Football,' gives bizarre interview as Musburger and Herbstreit look on New York Daily News
Eminem rarely does press, and even fewer live appearances, so it was more than a little surprising when he showed up on ESPN's "Saturday Night Football" live halftime show on Saturday.
To help promote the rapper's new single and video, "Berzerk," he visited ESPN hosts Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit on their live show. The promotional stunt may have backfired, though, as Eminem delivered a downright bizarre appearance, seeming slightly confused, with blank, staring eyes and his mouth hanging open. He then proceeded to tell the hosts that "nothing" about his forthcoming new album "Marshall Mathers LP 2" excites him. "I'll probably be most excited to just be done with it," he said.
The rapper eventually seemed to relax, as Musburger asked him questions about his music, the likelihood of his song becoming the theme for "Saturday Night Football" and the Detroit native was able to talk about his love of the Detroit Lions. Eminem then noted the rather obvious understatement, "Live TV freaks me out a little bit."
"Marshall Mathers LP 2″ is due out Nov. 5.

Hanover, VA – On Monday, September 12, 2016, deputies responded to the 8000 block of Willow Avenue, the Spring Meadows subdivision in Mechanicsville, for a stolen vehicle. While on scene, deputies discovered another vehicle had been stolen from the same neighborhood. Multiple vehicles in the neighborhood had also been entered and had property stolen.
Both vehicles that were stolen have since been recovered. One vehicle was recovered in Mechanicsville and the other in the City of Richmond.
On the same date, deputies responded to the 5900 block of Dugout Terrace, the Battlefield Green subdivision in Mechanicsville, for multiple vehicles entered overnight which had property stolen.
Investigators still continue to process evidence and are seeking suspects in these cases.
"I would encourage all citizens to lock their vehicles and remove all valuables, even if you park your vehicle in a locked garage. This is a crime of opportunity and is preventable. We ask for the public's assistance by locking their vehicles and removing all valuables," said Colonel David R. Hines, Sheriff.
Investigators continue to work diligently to recover property stolen from vehicles in the neighborhood. The Sheriff's Office also requests that any citizen that lives in the area where these crimes were committed and has an exterior security camera, to please check their footage and contact the Sheriff's Office if anything suspicious is noticed.
Anyone with more information about these incidents is asked to contact the Hanover County Sheriff's Office at (804) 365-6140 or the Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637 (CRIMES), using the keyword "iTip" followed by their tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.

Devin Griffiths, The Age of Analogy: Science and Literature between the Darwins
Devin Griffiths, The Age of Analogy: Science and Literature between the Darwins (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press 2016) xii + 339 pp. $55 EPUB, MOBI, PDF, $55 Hb. ISBN: 978-1-4214-2076-9
In The Age of Analogy, Devin Griffiths sets out to achieve several things at once. Firstly, he proposes a history of interactions between science and literature in the nineteenth century predicated on a shift within a third discipline, history. This shift is the replacement of an eighteenth-century conception of stadial history, in which comparisons between periods in the past are used to construct narratives of progress, to a nineteenth-century practice of comparative history which does not presuppose that moments in the past can be evaluated by a single standard set by the present. Although this was a change in how history was conceived and written, Griffiths argues that it was enabled by and mapped out within creative literature, and had some of its most profound reverberations within science. Crucially, it was achieved through a new mode of practising the literary device of analogy. This takes us on to Griffiths's second aim for his book, which is to propose a new critical vocabulary for understanding how analogy itself works. Most significantly, he distinguishes formal analogy, in which one term has priority over the other – one is the tenor, the other merely the vehicle – from what he calls 'harmonic analogy', in which there is a constructive interplay as each term enables new possibilities for thinking about the other. In recasting historiography and critical terminology, Griffiths also makes a case for a fresh way of thinking about the history of science and indeed science itself. He argues both for the generative role and the value of literary practices and modes of thought – analogy, the imaginative construction of narrative, an attention to form – within science, implying and looking to demonstrate in turn the value of literary-critical techniques of reading to understanding science and its history. He has other, more local aims too: to reinterpret the relationship between Charles Darwin and his grandfather Erasmus Darwin, who he sets up as the dual termini of his argument; and, en route, to offer us new and revealing close analyses of the historical novels of Walter Scott, Tennyson's In Memoriam, and the journalism and fiction of George Eliot, as they bear on his overall arguments.
Given the extraordinary ambition of his project, Griffiths comes remarkably close to pulling it off. The difficulty he faces is that, although his first three aims are intimately related, they are not always perfectly aligned, and some sections of the book knot them more closely and persuasively together than others. There is also the challenge of how to convincingly underwrite these metanarratives through close readings of a relatively small selection of authors and, at the same time, such a broad range of genres. At the same time, the readings can gather momentum of their own, taking them in idiosyncratic directions which can temporarily obscure the main line of the argument, not unlike species being driven by the inheritance of acquired characteristics to depart from the main line of the evolutionary teleology as mapped out by Lamarck (to draw a – merely formal – analogy from Griffiths's own book).
Looking across The Age of Analogy, the last two chapters are the most tightly structured and compelling, and they go a long way to draw together the argument of the book as a whole. Reading from the back, the last chapter makes a powerful case for seeing Charles Darwin's thinking as structured by harmonic analogy as practised through comparative historicism. At the same time, Griffiths subtly reaffirms different forms of prose fiction, particularly the historical novel and Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy, as major models for Darwin's use of comparative story-telling in constructing his science. The analysis of Darwin's narrative artistry here is acute, both in On the Origin of Species and in his much less well-known volume On the Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects, published in 1862. Griffiths's reading of the orchid book in particular is richly pluralist, offering a new insight into how Darwin's prose was able to sustain both materialism and natural theology.
In its attention to botany, the chapter on Charles Darwin brings the reader back to the first case study in Chapter One, which looks his grandfather's poem The Botanic Garden and his textbook Zoonomia. This narrative arc complements the most sustained line of argument within the book. This sees Erasmus Darwin (Chapter One) as too committed to an overarching narrative of progress to realise the full possibilities of comparative history which Scott (Chapter Two) was able to achieve through his sustained experiments with the historical novel and Eliot (Chapter Four) through her work as editor of the Westminster Review – which Griffiths persuasively identifies as the first journal of comparative literature – and her own historical novels. The chapter on Eliot is, like that on Charles Darwin, a tour de force. Griffiths moves deftly between the Westminster Review, Eliot's poem The Legend of Jubal and her notebooks, always circling back to return to Middlemarch. Eliot's project to extend our sympathies through this novel, Griffiths shows us, is achieved through a subtle process of the exposure of false analogies, as the characters struggle to understand one another, and the realisation of rare, close, harmonic moments of contact. For Eliot, as Griffiths shows, the implications of comparative history necessarily pull us away from generalisations to these individual moments. For Charles Darwin (Chapter Five), by contrast, there are patterns – common descent, coevolution, shared environmental niches – and an overarching principle – natural selection – which accommodate and explain all these contingencies.
These four chapters tell a story that is at once progressive and teleological – it leads from stadial history to comparative history, in science, literature and history itself – and pluralist, as comparative history is by definition plural, and as Eliot and Darwin offer different conclusions as to where it takes us. The last two chapters in particular are worthy to stand comparison with the very best work on Darwin as a writer and on Darwin in dialogue with the novel, most obviously that of Gillian Beer and George Levine. The chapter on Scott is less tightly structured, and seems at times to wander a little, but is clearly fundamental to the argument. The chapter on Erasmus Darwin is engaging and welcome. Griffiths's conclusion that Erasmus fails where Charles succeeds is underscored by a reading of the two sections of The Botanic Garden as an evolutionary epic driven by an overarching narrative which it fails to accomplish. Yet the poem is structured much more episodically than this, and not as a single narrative, so it is not exactly fair to hold it to a standard it does not ask to be judged by. Instead, Darwin knowingly reworks the epic tradition into new forms, much as his key models, Ovid and Lucretius, had done in their own day. That said, this disagreement is the kind of productive engagement that criticism should serve, and again this chapter works well within the argument as a whole.
The least satisfactory chapter, for me, is Chapter Three, on In Memoriam. Though the subject here is analogy – and Griffiths does some lovely work with the poem's distinctive stanza to think through how it works to construct analogies – the main thread of the argument about comparative history is lost sight of here. There are several specific claims that Griffiths makes about the poem too which are not sufficiently robustly evidenced within the argument itself. He posits that Arthur Hallam was a key shaping influence on, even a partner in Tennyson's poetic enterprise in his elegy, that Tennyson's conception of the afterlife as an other world in the poem bears the stamp of astronomical speculation about life on other planets, and that the poem's structure and Hallam's place within it both mirror Richard Owen's conception of the vertebrate archetype. All these claims are plausible as well as intriguing, but the textual detail that is used to substantiate them is very thin in each case. So while In Memoriam does contribute to Griffiths's overall thesis by opening up possibilities for contact and then closing them down again in the 'Epilogue' – a point Griffiths himself makes very incisively – the place he assigns it in the book and the precise case he chooses to make about it mean that the chapter as a whole ruptures the development of the argument from Scott to Eliot rather than contributing very much to it. Given that the chronology is already distorted by placing Charles Darwin after Eliot, the argument might have been clearer, and easier to keep trim and in train, if In Memoriam had been placed after Erasmus Darwin as a second example of a reaching towards comparison that ultimately falls back to a single telos.
It is easy, though, for a reviewer to quibble about structure with distance and hindsight. The Age of Analogy is not beyond improvement, but what critical book is? This ambitious work should shape future thinking about historicism, science and literature in the nineteenth century and beyond in new and significant ways. Griffiths deserves to be congratulated on having achieved this and, in the process, on having written some of the best recent criticism on Charles Darwin and George Eliot in particular, which is no mean feat in itself.

Is demonetisation a success? Nobody really knows, not even Mr Modi as of now
No doubt demonetisation—like everything else announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-- has ended up polarising people.
January 21, 2017, 21:52 IST
Updated: January 23, 2017, 09:53 IST
Since November 8, 2016 India has seen a sudden spurt in the number of emotional economists. These economists either support or oppose demonetisation based on emotions rather than facts. So you have long posts on Facebooks and multiple tweets but the real impact of demonetisation or the lack of it is just lost in this noise.
Either demonetisation is the second best thing to have taken place in India since 1991 liberalisation or it's akin to the rule of Louis XVI of France— whose political mismanagement led to the French revolution.
Taking Modi's assertion on its face value that demonetisation was aimed at reducing black money, one wonders whether it has been a success or a failure.
But before we get to that, we have to set the parameters for measuring success or failure. A perfect outcome would mean eradicating black money from India altogether. Also people not being able to generate future black money may be an added advantage. Similarly, a failure would mean zero impact on black money or perhaps increase in black money in the Indian economy in the coming years.
It is no secret that after the government banned old currency notes, many people rushed to buy gold. The trick was simple; buy gold to use up your stash of demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes.
Taking advantage of the situation many jewellers sold gold to black money hoarders at double the price. So when gold was pegged at Rs 30,000 the asking rate was anywhere between Rs 58,000 to Rs 63,000 per 10 grams. This may just be considered a success for the government in some way. Not so much because gold was purchased but mainly because wealth created by black money was destroyed. Many would want to argue whether the wealth destruction could have implications, but that's a separate debate.
Yet, the fact is, half the black money is destroyed due to overpriced gold purchase. While the other half is back has been routed back into the economy using ingenious evasive means. As it's safe to assume that the jewellers, who sold gold to black money hoarders, will not be holding on to old currency notes. They would have brought the money back into circulation.
The other way, a much talked about one, is the cash deposits with the RBI. Going by that standard, from whatever information is in public domain about the amount of currency notes deposited with RBI, demonetisation may have been a failure.
As far as future generation of black money is concerned that in some way is taken care of by something unrelated: Goods and Services Tax (GST). Most of the black money is generated by smaller Indian traders and businessmen. Even the bribes paid to politicians and government officials could be sourced back to the businessmen. GST, if implemented in its current form, would leave little scope for tax evasion by Indian businesses. This should reduce if not curb generation of black money.
It's quite clear that one action—demonetisation in this case-- will not lead to completely stop the black economy.
To put it clearly then: Has demonetisation reduced black money? The answer is yes, even if it is marginally.
Will demonetisation stop future generation of black money? No. GST would.
So is demonetisation a success or a failure? The honest answer to that is: nobody really knows till now. Not even Mr Modi as of now.

IBM CEO brings end to facial recognition business
IBM has said it will no longer pursue the development, research or offering of facial recognition and analysis software
|Jun 9| 4 min read
IBM has said it will no longer pursue the development, research or offering of facial recognition and analysis software.
In a letter to the United States Congress, the company's CEO Arvind Krishna outlined this alongside suggestions for police reform in the form of more accountability, and better opportunities for "communities of color."
The context for the change is, of course, the ongoing protests across the United States and the world instigated by the death of George Floyd, with Krishna saying IBM believed it was time for a "national dialogue".
In the letter, Krishna said: "IBM no longer offers general purpose IBM facial recognition or analysis software. IBM firmly opposes and will not condone uses of any technology, including facial recognition technology offered by other vendors, for mass surveillance, racial profiling, violations of basic human rights and freedoms, or any purpose which is not consistent with our values and Principles of Trust and Transparency. We believe now is the time to begin a national dialogue on whether and how facial recognition technology should be employed by domestic law enforcement agencies."
Continuing, he further said: "Artificial Intelligence is a powerful tool that can help law enforcement keep citizens safe. But vendors and users of Al systems have a shared responsibility to ensure that Al is tested for bias, particularity when used in law enforcement, and that such bias testing is audited and reported."
Facial recognition software has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years, in parallel with its increasing competence thanks to the use of artificial intelligence. As reported by The Verge, research has found commercial facial recognition systems, including the one offered by IBM, to be biased.
Other companies, such as Facebook and Clearview AI have become embroiled in scandals related to the use of the technology.
It is in China, however, that the controversial technology is being most freely used. Facial recognition scans have become mandatory for those registering new sim cards.

Nearly half (49%) of surveyed viewers aren't sure if their TV watching habits are being monitored, though 62% have TVs that are connected to the internet, according to an Ace Metrix survey of consumer privacy related to internet-connected TVs.
Only 13% of viewers being tracked knew that they were being monitored and remembered agreeing to the terms and conditions for their smart TV. Even though data companies say they get viewers' consent for traciking, 75% of viewers surveyed didn't know how they gave consent.
The survey also revealed that 61% of consumers with a specific, unnamed brand of smart TV weren't sure if their device collected data about their viewing habits. Twenty-one percent said they weren't being monitored, while 8% knew they were being monitored and remembered agreeing to the terms. Seven percent didn't remember agreeing to any terms and conditions, and 3% knew and disabled the monitoring.
Much of the conversation around data privacy in recent months has been centered on social media platforms, like Facebook, with its Cambridge Analytical scandal, but the Ace Metrix survey highlights how the issue extends to data collectors and advertisers on any internet-connected platform, including TVs. Seventy-eight percent of marketers plan to buy connected TV ads over the next 12 months, according to recent research by SteelHouse and Advertiser Perceptions, making the problem more pressing.
Since many consumers don't realize that the default privacy setting on their smart TVs may allow for extensive access to their viewing behaviors, transparency might become a bigger topic of conversation in the connected TV space going forward. Protecting consumer privacy has become a mounting concern, with lawmakers and other stakeholders taking notice and demanding more from tech companies. The state of California, for example, recently adopted a new privacy law that closely resembles the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), requiring internet companies receive informed consent for data they collect on their users.
"With GDPR, and the newly passed Consumer Privacy Act in California, the industry hit an inflection point on privacy," Peter Daboll, CEO of Ace Metrix, said in a statement. "Research and data companies need to wake up. They need to be leading privacy and consumer consent reform — not following it."
A study by Maritz Motivation Solutions and the Harvard Business School shows that consumers tend to appreciate when marketers are transparent and communicate how customer data is used to target ads to them. When consumers received product recommendations paired with a transparent message explaining that those recommendations were based on their past behaviors, click-through rates increased by 11%. Time spent on the product page also increased 34% and consumers spent 38% more on the recommended items, the groups found.

Sharp Air Purifiers comes to the aid of Asthma patients
null | 9 Aug 2015 10:47 AM GMT
In a step to prevent and reduce indoor air pollution and provide a better environment to the patients suffering from Asthma, Tuberculosis and air borne diseases, Sharp Air purifiers has come out in order to help the patients of Deen Dayal Hospital in Delhi by donating its air purifiers.
After humble request from Mr Kuljeet Abrol, Mr Jagdeep Singh, Member of Legislative Assembly, Hari Nagar, Delhi has been kind enough to do the honour and help the patients of Deen Dayal hospital. Mr. Jagdeep also acknowledged and applauded this initiative and has urged NGOs and organizations to come forward and support the initiative. Mr. Jagdeep also showed keenness on understanding the efficiency of the Air Purifier in helping Asthma patients and how it can reduce the triggers in schools and homes.
Most of us feel that urban outdoor air is considerably dangerous!! City smog, automobile exhaust and even potent industrial wastes being recognized health hazards, are scientifically measured and documented. But several studies in India and abroad reveal that the Indoor air is much more dangerous than outdoor air.
"It is quite encouraging that Government and Environment Groups have started taking initiatives towards awareness of indoor air pollution and how this can impact various airborne diseases like Asthma, Tuberculosis and Airway Inflammations among children" said Kuljeet Abrol – Indoor Air Specialist & Prop. AB Traders.
"Sharp Air Purifiers equipped with Plasmacluster Ion Technology create forest fresh air by generating the same level of Positive & Negative Ions found in natural environments like forest, resorts, parks thus killing harmful substances not only form the air but also from the surface and eliminates bad odour. Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Technology has been verified by renowned and independent organizations and is perfect for use at home, offices, in car, doctor chamber, basement, canteen etc." he added
Indoor air pollution is arguably one of the most overlooked threats to human health, particularly affecting young children who are building their immune system with a sensitive airway has to fight these Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's)and micro-organisms like pollen, dust mites, fungi, virus etc, present in the atmosphere thus become more prone to allergies.
Soft toys, carpets, room fresheners, perfumes produces high levels of Indoor Air Pollution with a range of health-damaging pollutants (VOC's) & PM2.5, including small soot particles that penetrate deep into the lungs. Cross ventilation also replenishes fresh air in our indoor, but in poorly ventilated home, indoor pollutants can be 10 times higher than acceptable levels.
Considering all the limitations and preventive measures, the good news, if indeed any can be found, is that indoor air pollution is infinitely more controllable than outdoor air pollution. With careful cooperation from educators and businesses, these pollutants can be reduced at school and in our homes" said Dr Anil Garg, Incharge - Chest Clinic & ICCU Head at Deen Dayal Hospital in Delhi.
"The antibiotics work for several weeks only, it at all, and then another virus or allergy comes along to attack the immune system. We feel helplessand continually worried about the next infection that will come along" said Mr Avtar Singh, one of the parent.
"Several health authorities have recognized that certain types of air purifiers are beneficial in reducing the amount of Particulate Matter 2.5 in the room. During my studies of all Air Purification techniques, I have observed that the Sharp Air Purifier equipped with Plasmacluster Ion Technology is much superior in terms of performance, reliability and certifications. Proper ventilation and allowing direct sunlight in interior spaces are equally important steps towards improving air quality." said Dr Rajarshi Bhattacharyya, National Head of The Times Foundation.

If the battle of Hodeidah is not resolved quickly, Yemen will stand at a crossroads.
The battle of Hodeidah is particularly important for several reasons and at the top is the strategic position on the Red Sea of the city's port. For the Houthis, control is vital because the port provides them the resources they need most. This explains why their forces have put all their weight into this battle.
Progress has reportedly been made by the Saudi-led coalition to liberate the city, the port and the airport. However, that progress does not seem to be enough to translate into a political gain at this crucial time when UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths is calling for a new round of dialogue in less than a month.
It is no secret that Griffiths is receiving US and British support to pull together a new round of talks but it is not even clear which parties will be invited to participate. Will it be limited to pro-government forces and the Houthis and exclude all other active forces in Yemen? Among them are those taking part in the battle of Hodeidah alongside the national army of pro-government forces.
The battle of Hodeidah forebodes an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. What needs to be pointed out is that the forces seeking to liberate the city from the Houthis' grip -- which by extension is Iran's grip -- have a limited window of opportunity to achieve their goal. They have only one month to change the balance of power in Hodeidah.
Griffiths has previously obstructed pro-government forces from achieving victory there. Indeed, there was considerable pressure in June to stop the fighting. Those pressures were accompanied by negotiations conducted by the UN envoy with the Houthis in Sana'a, Muscat and elsewhere. The negotiations included indirect exchanges between Griffiths and Abdelmalik al-Houthi, leader of the Houthis in Yemen.
Can the pro-government forces and their allies from the Guards of the Republic and the Giants Brigade score a decisive victory in Hodeidah within a month?
If not, the situation will be difficult and complicated because there is an international desire to reach a settlement that would give the Houthis an independent entity in northern Yemen. This entity would be much like the Islamic emirate established by Hamas in the Gaza Strip and we know how that emirate has deepened the poverty of Gazans and deprived them of hope for a decent life in a better world.
What we are witnessing in Yemen is the collusion of certain forces with the Houthis to enable them to get their hands on part of Yemen, regardless of the threat they pose to regional security. The forces complicit with the Houthis do not care about the danger they pose. There is an insistence on avoiding a humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen but there is no concern for the heavy political price that must be paid or for the danger to regional stability posed by the Houthis' relationship with Iran.
If the battle of Hodeidah is not resolved quickly, Yemen will stand at a crossroads. The possibility of having a Houthi emirate in Sana'a and its surroundings, extending way to Hodeidah would become very likely.
However, removing the Houthis from Sana'a would return them to their original and true size. They are certainly part of the components of the Yemeni society and no one can deny them that or totally remove them from the Yemeni equation.
Having said that, they have no right to establish their own emirate and enslave hundreds of thousands of Yemenis as they are now doing. The Houthis have no civilisational project for Yemen nor do they have political or economic or educational projects. All they have are hollow slogans with no relation to reality, and all they know to do is recruit teenagers and children and post them on front lines.
Resolving the battle of Hodeidah within the next few weeks is a pressing necessity. A clear and decisive victory in the fight for the government's side would dissipate the fog engulfing the future of Yemen and allow for the search for a new formula for the country, within or outside the framework of a union, a formula that avoids the humanitarian catastrophe and perhaps restores hope to the Yemenis.
Without a clear military defeat of the Iranian project in Yemen, a humanitarian catastrophe seems unavoidable.

Qaqortoq, formerly Julianehåb, is a city in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland, located near Cape Thorvaldsen. With a population of 3,050 in 2020, it is the most populous town and the municipal capital in southern Greenland and the fourth or fifth-largest town on the island.

History
The area around Qaqortoq has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Beginning with the Saqqaq culture roughly 4,300 years ago, the area has had a continuous human presence.

Saqqaq culture

The earliest signs of population presence are from roughly 4,300 years ago. While Saqqaq-era sites are generally the most numerous of all the prehistoric sites in Greenland, around Qaqortoq the Saqqaq presence is less prominent, with only sporadic sites and items such as chipped stone drills and carving knives.

Dorset culture

The Dorset people arrived in the Qaqortoq area around 2,800 years ago. Several rectangular peat dwelling structures, characteristic of the early Dorset culture, can be found around the wider Qaqortoq area.

Norse culture

Written records of South Greenland history begin with the arrival of the Norse in the late 10th century. The ruins of Hvalsey  the most prominent Norse ruins in Greenland  are located  northeast of Qaqortoq. General or even limited trade between the Norse and the Thule people was scarce. Except a few novel and exotic items found at Thule sites in the area, evidence suggests cultural exchange was initially sporadic. Later, the south Greenland Norse adopted trade with the southern Inuit and were for a time the major supplier of ivory to northern Europe. The Norse era lasted for almost five hundred years, ending in the mid-15th century. The last written record of the Norse presence is of a wedding in the Hvalseyjarfjord church in 1408.

Thule people

The Thule culture Inuit arrived in southern Greenland and the Qaqortoq area around the 12th century and were contemporaneous with the Norse. However, there exists little evidence of early contact. The Thule culture was characterized by a subsistence existence and there are few, if any, dwellings of considerable structure to be found from the era. Items, however, are relatively numerous.

Colonial era until present

The present-day town was founded in 1775 by the Dano-Norwegian trader Anders Olsen, on behalf of the General Trading Company. The town was christened Julianehaab after the Danish queen Juliane Marie, although it sometimes mistakenly appears as "Julianshaab". The name was also sometimes anglicized as Juliana's Hope. The town became a major center for the saddle-back seal trade and today remains the home of the Great Greenland sealskin tannery.

Until 31 December 2008 the town was the administrative center of Qaqortoq municipality. On 1 January 2009 Qaqortoq became the biggest town and the administrative center of Kujalleq municipality, when the three municipalities of South Greenland, meaning Qaqortoq, Narsaq, and Nanortalik were merged into one municipality.

Landmarks

Historical buildings
The building that now houses the Qaqortoq museum was originally the town's blacksmith's shop. The house was built in yellow stone and dates back to 1804.

The oldest standing building at the historical colonial harbor  and thus of all of Qaqortoq  is a black-tarred log building from 1797. The building was designed by royal Danish architect Kirkerup, pre-assembled in Denmark, shipped in pieces to Qaqortoq, and then reassembled.

Qaqortoq is a town of artists and talented craftsmen. From 1993 to 1994 Qaqortoq artist Aka Høegh and other 18 Nordic artists presided over the Stone & Man project, designed to transform the town into an open air art gallery. Eighteen artists from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Greenland carved 24 sculptures into the rock faces and boulders in the town. Today there are over 40 sculptures in the town, all part of the Stone & Man exhibit.

The fountain
The town is home to the oldest fountain in Greenland, Mindebrønden, finished in 1932. It was the only fountain in the country prior to another in Sisimiut. A tourist attraction, the fountain depicts whales spouting water out of their blowholes.

Transport

Air

Qaqortoq Heliport operates year-round, linking Qaqortoq with Narsarsuaq Airport and, indirectly, with the rest of Greenland and Europe.

Feasibility assessments were underway regarding building a landing strip for fixed-wing aircraft. The issue was previously debated in 2007, when the Democrats opposed a Siumut landing strip proposal, citing ecological and environmental concerns. In contrast to the previous debates, presently the Democrats are lobbying for a  runway, making passenger flights to continental Europe possible. A shorter,  runway, supported by the CEO of Air Greenland, would enable flights with small turboprops to Iceland and eastern Canada. The cost of moving the airport from Narsarsuaq as a 1799-meter runway is estimated at DKK900 million (€120.7m), while a 1199-meter runway is estimated at DKK370 million (€50m). Presently Narsarsuaq airport is a community of 140 people, depending solely on the airport, but the Kujalleq Municipality supports the plans for moving the airport to the centre of South Greenland, thereby creating economic growth in the region.

Five locations for a possible airport was assessed. Four of these – at Prinsessen, Nunarsuatsiaap Kujalequtaa, Munkebugten, and halfway towards Narsaq – are for a  domestic runway. Only one location, northwest of the town between Nuupiluk and Matup Tunua, would be suitable for a runway up to , in order to accommodate intercontinental flights. It was in 2011 expected that a new airport would be built before 2020, probably with a 1,499-meter runway behind the mountain of Saqqaarsik, being able to serve flights from Europe, Iceland and other parts of Greenland, thereby moving the air transport centre of South Greenland from Narsarsuaq to the centre of the region.

The final political decision on the matter was then pending for years, but an act on the project was finalized by the parliament of Greenland in 2018, and a project is now being prepared for an airport with a 1500-meter runway, allowing smaller jets to land during the crucial summer tourist season. The 1500-meter runway will also be important for developing the nearby Tanbreez REE-mine project. A contract with a construction company from Canada was finally signed in February 2022.Expected completion is in 2025.

The decided site is at , 5 km north of town, having a decided runway of 1500 meters. The 1500 meter runway is considered the shortest possibility, in terms of  future economic development, especially within the tourism sector.  The access road to the airport site was completed as a temporary gravel road in 2017, which will be widened and paved.

Land

As is true of all populated places in Greenland, Qaqortoq is not connected to any other place via roads. Fairly well trodden hiking trails lead north and west from the town, but for any motorized transportation all terrain vehicles are needed. During winter, snowmobiles become the transport of choice.

Sea
Qaqortoq is a port of call for the Arctic Umiaq ferry. The port authority for Qaqortoq is Royal Arctic Line, located in Nuuk. With a channel depth of , the port can accommodate vessels up to  in length. The port offers pilotage upon request, but no tug boat services.

The port of Qaqortoq, situated close to the southern tip of Greenland, is an important cruise destination of the North Atlantic, having 30-40 calls per season, often large cruise ships transferring in late summer / early autumn from North Europe to the Caribbean.

Economy and infrastructure

Qaqortoq is a seaport and the centre of South Greenland. Fish processing, tourism, tanning, fur production, and ship maintenance and repair are important activities, but the economy is based primarily on educational and administrative services. The primary industries in the town are fishing, service, and administration.

The native subsistence economy was long preserved by the former monopoly Royal Greenland Trading Department, which used the town as a source of saddle-back seal skins. The Great Greenland Furhouse is the only tannery in Greenland and the primary sealskin purchaser on the island; it remains one of the major employers in the town.

Agriculture, mainly as sheep farming, cattle and reindeer herding, are conducted on a number of farms in the fiord landscapes close to Qaqortoq. Qaqortoq is an important service provider and supply centre for the farmers.

Of all exports produced in Qaqortoq, 70.1% are headed for the Danish market.

Qaqortoq is located in the one of the most mineral rich areas in the world, South Greenland having a vide range of mineral deposits. Mining has been a major economic activity in South Greenland in the past, especially the nearby Ivittuut mine north of Qaqortoq. A gold mine was operating from 2003 to 2013 in Nalunaq, south of Qaqortoq. The gold mine is expected to reopen in 2022.

The Tanbreez multielement project, situated less than 20 kilometers east of Qaqortoq, was granted an exploitation licence in 2020, and a major mine is expected to be established within a few years.

Employment
During the summer of 2020, the unemployment rate in Qaqortoq was at 7%, a rather high level compared to for instance Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. The level of unemployment in Qaqortoq has during the last decade been declining.

Energy
All of Qaqortoq's electricity is supplied by the government-owned company Nukissiorfiit. Since 2007, Qaqortoq gets its electric power mainly from Qorlortorsuaq Dam by way of a  70 kV powerline. Previously the town's electricity was supplied by means of so-called "bunker fuel generators", three diesel ship engines converted to electricity production.

Education
Qaqortoq is the main center for education in South Greenland and has a primary school, middle school, and high school, a folk high school which started as a workers' college (Sulisartut Højskoliat) in 1977, a school of commerce, and a basic vocational school.

Religion

Gertrud Rasch's Church
Gertrud Rasch's Church (Danish: "Gertrud Rasks Kirke") is a white concrete Lutheran church.  The church is named after Gertrud Rask, the wife of missionary Hans Egede.  Due to the increasing population in Qaqortoq, the old church could no longer adequately serve the community, and a new church was commissioned by the Church of Denmark. Construction started in May 1972 and it was consecrated on 8 July 1973. It was designed by architect Ole Nielsen, and is made entirely of concrete.  The church has a concrete altar. The motif of the altarpiece is based upon south Greenland flora.  The church features a ten-stop Frobenius organ from 1973.

Healthcare
Qaqortoq is served by Napparsimavik Hospital, officially Napparsimavik Qaqortoq Sygehus. The hospital is also the main hospital in southern Greenland. With a staff of 59 people, presently the hospital has 18 beds. The three villages in Qaqortoq municipality – Eqalugaarsuit, Saarloq, and Qassimiut – also belong to the healthcare district of Napparsimavik Hospital. The villages are visited via sea and with a medical helicopter in case of emergencies. During the summer of 2010, the hospital used Greenland-grown vegetables exclusively.

Tourism

Tourism is a significant contributor to the economy of the town. The Qaqortoq Tourist Service – Greenland Sagalands A/S – is the main local cruise operator and tourist office. The main foundation for tourism in town is the cruise tourism, Qaqortoq being the main cruise destination in Greenland with more than 35 cruise calls per season and +30000 cruise visitors. The cruise tourists are a wide range of nationalities, with Germans, British and Americans as major groups.

Roughly two-thirds of all non-cruise tourists (65.5%) are from Denmark. There are several facilities offering accommodations, including the Qaqortoq Hostel. The Qaqortoq Museum offers services in English, Danish, and Kalaallisut. The Great Greenland Furhouse is also a popular tourist attraction.

Tourists are offered by the tourist office activities such as kayaking, guided hiking, whale-watching, tours to the Greenland ice cap, Norse ruins, farms, the Uunartoq hot springs and general boating. In recent years, Qaqortoq has experienced a decline in tourist revenue, beside cruise tourism, with an average of 1,700 tourists annually staying in the town overnight, very much due to the lack of an airport close to the town. The Qaqortoq Stadium is the first artificial grass football stadium in Greenland. The Danish Crown Princely family visited the town as part of an official tour of Greenland in summer 2014. A small grove of hardy poplar trees was planted by the Crown Prince family.

Demographics
With 3,050 inhabitants as of 2020, Qaqortoq is the largest town in the Kujalleq municipality. The population is nearly unchanged from its 1995 levels.

There exists no gender imbalance among native Greenlanders in Qaqortoq, the only gender inequity is among inhabitants born outside Greenland, with 3 out of 5 being male. As of 2011 10% of the town's inhabitants were born outside Greenland, a decline from 20% in 1991, but an increase from a 9% low in 2001.

Geography
Qaqortoq is located at approximately  in the Qaqortoq Fjord, beside the Labrador Sea.

Climate

Qaqortoq has a maritime-influenced polar climate (ET) with cold, snowy winters and cool summers. The southern tip of Greenland does not experience permafrost. Thanks to its relative warmth compared to other settlements, few groves of trees can now thrive and survive under sheltered locations, making Qaqortoq one of the few Greenlandic towns able to sustain such an environment. Winters are much milder than at much lower coastal parallels in continental North America due to the marine effect. Therefore, the seasonal variation in the climate is very small for a location so far north.

Twin Town
Qaqortoq is twinned with:
  Aarhus, Denmark

Foreign Relation
Qaqortoq has a consulate from the government of Latvia, representing Latvia for Greenland.

L'échelle Interagency Language Roundtable est un ensemble descriptif d'habiletés à communiquer dans une langue. Il s'agit de l'échelle d'évaluation standard pour mesurer les compétences linguistiques dans le gouvernement fédéral des États-Unis. Cette échelle a été développée initialement par l'organisme Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR), avec la contribution du Foreign Service Institute des États-Unis, le prédécesseur du National Foreign Affairs Training Center (NFATC). Celle échelle évalue les compétences linguistiques des personnes sur des niveaux allant de 0 à 5.  Les niveaux 0+, 1+, 2+, 3+, ou 4+ sont utilisés lorsque les compétences de la personne excèdent significativement celles d'un niveau donné, mais sont insuffisantes pour atteindre le niveau supérieur. Cela signifie qu'il y a au total 11 niveaux. Ces niveaux peuvent être attribués individuellement pour différentes compétences, par exemple la lecture, l'expression orale, la compréhension orale, l'expression écrite, la traduction à partir d'une source écrite, la traduction à partir d'une source audio, l'interprétation ou les communications interculturelles. Certaines de ces compétences peuvent être désignées par des abréviations, par exemple "S-1" pour expression orale de niveau 1.

Q: How to set one header for each page using multicols in 2022 I've used headers like described here in my documents. However, since TeX Live 2022 this no longer work. Instead of a header getting printed on the page, it seems like all the columns get pushed to the right.

Unfortunately, I don't understand how the original approach even worked and don't know how to fix it. Is there anyone that knows how to achieve this on TeX Live 2022?

A:
The referenced answer patches a few lines into the interal \multi@column@outcommand to add the box.  That command has changed over the years but copying the new code to the answer seems to work.
