The word 'amulet' is fraught with meaning. Over the years, people have believed amulets will protect them from harm, bring good luck, or drive away evil spirits. These particular ones however, aren't made of rabbits feet, coins, or gems. Instead, they draw their healing powers from plants sourced from the scared Himalayas.
Plants and herbs are collected from the remote northern districts of Humla and Jumla in Nepal. Nestled among the gentle giants that are the Himalayas, the herbs that go into these amulets grow in abundance. Once they are harvested by the dedicated and resilient people of the north, the herbs make the long journey to Kathmandu, where they are transformed into a product. In the Himalayan Herbs workshop in Kathmandu, skilled craftswomen sew the brilliant pouches and stuff them with a potent combination of herbs. A string and bead are added to facilitate wearing and the amulets are almost ready for sale. The final step is to package the finished product and a short description of the medicinal benefits of the amulet into plastic bags. This ensures the aroma and benefits are preserved until opened and placed around your neck.

Weddings are costly, much more so on account of celebrities. Obviously, VIP pre-marriage ceremony can accompany an additional high sticker price. Fortunately, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have been getting a considerable amount of assistance from their image accomplices and individual, worthwhile arrangements.
Well, when the future husband posted an image of him relaxing on a yacht with some Elit vodka from his lone ranger party? Matt Kirschner, accomplice at influencer promoting and experiential occasions office Talent Resources, assesses this association was worth about $150,000.
Obviously, a few organizations are more about the brand working than the genuine sticker price. Kirschner presumes this was the situation when it went to the Quantico Actress collaboration with Tiffany and Co. Not just Chopra posted photos of her precious stone sparkler on social media, yet she likewise went to the jewelry Blue Book occasion in October. At that point came the much-discussed wedding party at Tiffany's Blue Box Café that equivalent month.
There's likewise hypothesis that Chopra will wear Ralph Lauren on her big day, which would be another common fit, also. All things considered, the two lovebirds wore the fashioner when they went to the Met Gala together in 2017 and as of late went to the design symbol's 50th commemoration appear too.
In truth, neither Kirschner nor Heller has been included with these arrangements, so nobody truly knows the couple's monetary benefit without a doubt. In any case, it beyond any doubt appears as though the two whizzes are super savvy about their organizations.
The City School just changed their Uniform and seem like they've just crossed the Gairat bridage.

ICG-Brussels bloats Madhesi numbers
Sujit Mainali / April 7, 2016
The report titled "Nepal's divisive new constitution: An existential crisis" released on April 4, 2016 by the Brussels-based International Crisis Group (ICG) has claimed that Madhesi and Tharu communities combined make up more than a third of the population of Nepal.
"The parties representing the protesting Madhesi and smaller indigenous Tharu communities of the plains, who together are over a third of Nepal's population…," the report has said.
South Asia Check has fact-checked the statement.
According to the latest census report prepared by the Central Bureau of Statistics, Madhesi (19.3 percent) and Tharu (6.6 percent) communities combined make up 25.9 percent of the total population.
The ICG report has mentioned that Tharus make up 7 percent of the population, which is almost correct.
Members of the Muslim community in the Tarai are also involved in the "Madhes Uprising". Muslims are settled also in the Hills of Nepal, but majority of the Muslim population resides in the Tarai.
Even if the nation's total Muslim population (4.4 percent) is added to the total population of communities involved in the "Madhes Uprising", then it adds up to just 30.3 percent of the total population of Nepal which is still less than a third of the total population.
The ICG report has defined the term Madhesi as an "umbrella term for a population of caste-based Hindus residing in the Tarai region, who speak plains languages such as Maithali and Bhojpuri, and have extensive economic, social and family ties across the border in northern India."
This definition has explicitly excluded the Muslim community.
Therefore, the ICG report has clearly exaggerated the size of the Madhesi community.

Online Q&A Platform Zhihu Reportedly Reduces Staff by 20%-30%
May 25, 2022, 21:31pm 2022/05/25 21:36:04 Pandaily
Recently, many employees said on social media platforms that Zhihu, an online Q&A platform in China, has been reducing its staff by 20%-30%. The layoffs covered businesses such as technology, commercialization, education and community.
Some employees who received a layoff notice said, "Although we are currently working from home, the layoffs are privately communicated on site. Rumors were circulating within the company about a half a month ago, and the layoffs started unexpectedly last Friday (May 20). Basically, they were notified on May 20 that they don't have to work on May 23 because the relevant work permissions were closed."
In response, on May 24th, Zhihu said that the changes were a normal optimization and adjustment of business and organization. The company said it focuses on building "ecology" first and constantly recruits for core positions so as to provide better experience for users.
In April this year, Zhihu was officially listed on the HKEx. On Wednesday, the company released its financial report for the first quarter of 2022. The report shows that its Q1 revenue totaled 743.2 million yuan ($111 million), a year-on-year increase of 55.4%. The company's non-GAAP net loss of was 367.4 million yuan, while that in Q1 2021 was 193.6 million yuan.
The company's content commercialization solution business earned more than 30.5% of the total, surpassing online the company's advertising business and becoming the largest source of revenue. In addition, income from vocational education businesses accounted for 5.3% of total, up 1196% year-on-year.
The business income of paid members was 222 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 75.1%, while the number of paying members reached 6.89 million, up 72.8% year-on-year. Meanwhile, the average number of monthly active users (MAU) in Q1 was 101.6 million, up 19.4% year-on-year.

According to the company's latest business plan, Zhihu intends to raise its payments to creators later in the year. On May 18, the company announced its investment of nearly 100 million yuan since the beginning of the year and has been providing financial rewards other than commercial access to creators who continue to strengthen their presence and fanbase on the platform.

This massive Tamiya R/C replica recreates the shape of the rather unique M551 Sheridan in 1/16 scale. The M551 was designed as airdrop capable armor with wading capabilities, a key concept as the U.S. took on the role of global policeman post-WWII. With an aluminum hull and rolled steel turret, it weighed just 15 tons, but had impressive firepower in the shape of the M81 152mm gun/launcher, which could fire standard rounds and MGM-51 Shillelagh missiles. The M551 was in service with active units from 1968 to 1996 and saw action in the jungles of Vietnam.

BATS CAN'T PRODUCE PAST FIRST INNING AS YANKEES SWEEP TWINS
(Nicholas Badders / Elizabethton Twins)
By Elizabethton Twins | July 3, 2019 10:19 PM
Pulaski, Virginia - For the first time in the series, the Elizabethton Twins struck first Wednesday night, scoring one in the top of the first inning against the Pulaski Yankees. The Yankees responded by scoring runs in the next two innings and holding off the E-Twin offense for the rest of the night as they fell 4-1.
Elizabethton only managed five hits in the game, with two coming from Charles Mack, who scored in the first inning on a Matt Wallner double.
Louie Varland kept Elizabethton in the game with 3.2 innings, allowing just two runs while striking out five.
Osiris German also contributed a scoreless 1.1 innings and Tyler Benninghoff finished off the game with three innings, allowing just one earned run while striking out six.
Elizabethton returns home Thursday for a three-game series with the Kingsport Mets. Fireworks will follow the 4th of July game and the night also represents the first of 11 home games in 13 days for the E-Twins.
Fans planning to attend Thursday's game against the Mets are encouraged to purchase tickets ahead of time online, as lines will be long before the game at Northeast Community Credit Union Ballpark.

3D scanning creates an accurate digital representation of your artwork, natural specimens, vintage parts, and more. The DAVID 3-D scanning technology uses a projector and a webcam to project a calibrated sequence of straight lines onto your object and record how they are distorted. The software then calculates the coordinates of each illuminated point in the camera's view. Successive views of the object are combined to form its entire outer surface. No lasers are required. Matte surfaces can often be scanned as-is, especially if they do not have a wide range of hue.

Then every once in a while there's a tip that just doesn't fit me. Like getting up early. (I write at night and hubby takes the kids in the morning.) Last April, Dayna shared the tip "Say this now: Sure I can do that." This is great advice, and I've said yes to many things, such as returning to teaching after my youngest was born, and proofreading for a small publisher to get experience and make contacts in the field.
However, I'm in a different position as a writer now. Three years ago, I followed some advice I found on Nelson Literary Agency's website and I started this blog and proactively began to grow my proffesional network as a writer. In those years, I've gone from being a newbie wondering "Where can I submit to? Who will like my stories? What are the first steps?" to being a professional with several stories published a few more on the way.
Having developed an absolutely wonderful network of both professionals and amateurs in the writing world, from Science Fiction to Romance and everything that lies between or overlaps, I frequently come across calls for submissions or hear about opportunities to expand my writing career. At first, I said "yes" frequently, but now I have to carefully pick and choose which opportunities I look into. Sometimes, even though an opportunity doesn't pay much, it's either a project I really believe in and want to support, or it's useful to me as professional development.

My story The Genesis of the Incorporeum appeared in the first Biblical Spec Fic anthology The Garden, and I plan to submit to the rest of the series as well.
I'll share the covers and links when they're available.

We just heard some good news about Conan — and no, we don't mean the high-haired Irish-Catholic NBC comic with the ankles of a puny chicken. We mean CONAN! the barbarian swordsman, thief, and Cimmerian fighter! Insiders tell Vulture exclusively that Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, will replace Mickey Rourke as Corin, Conan's father … and a single dad at that! Lionsgate begins shooting the remake of the 1982 classic Conan the Barbarian in Bulgaria later this month, with Marcus Nispel (who brought you last year's umpteenth outing of Friday the 13th) directing Hawaiian male model Jason Momoa in the title role. We can't speak for everyone, but we very much doubt that with a badass like Ron Perlman for a dad, we'd grow up to be a male model — Hawaiian or otherwise.

There are many people that want to make money with their crafts but are not sure as to what they need to do in order to make it work. There is one key thing that all crafters should think about, design.
There are a few things that work better than others and things that sell better than others. The key is finding what works and what may need a little more help, it's not the biggest and best setups that sell crafts, but organisation helps. A studio for craft will focus your efforts. There are a few ways that a crafter can find out what will work better than others. The best way is to research what is selling in the craft world. Internet is a good way to look for the best sales of items that are comparable to what is being sold by them.
Any crafter that is researching may consider looking to craft bid sites or other venues that are on the Internet for ideas as to what is going well for other people and what the customers might be buying right now. They should remember that this will change as the year goes on and that they should be ready to change with it.
When a crafter is designing their products they should think about the colours that they are using in their creations. Certain colours do better during certain times of the year. Knowing what colours do well at what times, can help a crafter to design their products better for the year in front of them. Colours also vary depending on the customers that are buying the products and what their ages are. This way the customers will have more to choose from in regards to colours and styles.
Most crafters have a certain kind of product that they do and a certain style to their crafts. This might be anything from their products being more based for a teen audience or they may feel that their products are more of a country kind of feel to them. Knowing what style they are designing in and what audience they are designing for, will help them to make the most of their crafting and their customer base.
Design is a big part of crafting and a lot of people that do crafts depend on their designs to make them the most money that they can get. Learning what works and what doesn't will make any crafters experience the best that it can be and they can make the most money possible.


Fractures of the humerus (the arm bone) can be reconstructed with inert metal plates or rods, in many different ways depending on where the fracture is situated along this long bone.
Fractures of the humeral head can be reconstructed according to the fracture type either by metal plate and screws or by metal shoulder replacement.
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint with a bony arch forming the roof (acromion). There are muscles surrounding the joint (rotator cuff) which enable the arm to move the shoulder joint. As the arm is elevated the space between the humeral head and the acromion reduces which can cause pinching (impingement) of the rotator cuff and bursa. Repetitive impingement causes inflammation and pain.
The acromioclavicular joint is at the top of your shoulder and formed by the top of the shoulder blade (acromion) and the outer end of the collar bone (clavicle). This joint moves as the arm is lifted and over time it may become arthritic (worn) and very painful. In certain cases it may also be responsible of impingement of the underlying rotator cuff muscles.
If symptoms do not settle with rest, physiotherapy and pain relieving medications, then surgery is often the next option.
This high precision operation is performed arthroscopically (key hole) – two or three small incisions are made and the procedure is carried out by camera visualisation, using small instruments. To increase the space between the humeral head and the acromion, the thickened bursa is excised and the bony spur of the acromion is shaved. This allows the tendon to run smoothly within the subacromial space once again. If the AC joint is arthritic an ACJ excision is also performed removing the arthritic ends of the joint and allowing movement.


Much like Chomsky's explanation of the media in Manufacturing Consent, the tech media is an advertising vehicle for the practices and policies of the "elite technologists" and their conglomerates. Rather than investigate, think independently and critically, and demand accountability on behalf of the public, they preach conformity in myriad ways at the hands of their corporate masters.
Notably, none of the reporting journalists felt compelled to investigate deeper into these connections or even ask meaningful questions, all notions of injustice left at the PR door of "diverse perspectives".
The Heritage Foundation is an instrumental tool in the Koch Brothers' mission to push their political and economic policies, which equate to the maxim "all for me, none for you" (noted by Adam Smith and familiar to any Noam Chomsky readers). We could even expand on that maxim to be "all for me, nothing but death and misery for you". A claim substantiated by multiple accounts, the most damning on-record being the crimes documented by investigative reporter Tim Dickinson for Rolling Stone Magazine.² These crimes have been refuted and denied by the Koch Brothers which is to be expected. Perhaps more revealing is the Koch Brothers' direct admission of their political tactics via a leaked document.
Google's appointment of KCJ highlights the company's true motivations and intents, "all for me, nothing but death and misery for you", under the typical and poor disguise of "diversity" that is frequently used by the tech industry elite to vindicate their frequent and morally-perverse decisions. In this instance, "diverse perspectives" was the operating euphemism.
Google has since disbanded the council, a move that fits into their perfected push-pull strategies,³ and the tech news sites, and media at large, had their notions of potential injustice predictably satisfied—the glimpse behind the corporate curtain forgot.
To return to the "all for me" maxim, a 2015 study found that "Google tracking infrastructure is on… 923 of the top 1,000 websites" establishing a substantial surveillance network for the company.⁴ Four years later and one can imagine the spread.
When it came to Ars Technica, we checked out their "Consent Tool" and discovered that they are part of the Condé Nast network—so what we discovered can be generally applied across all tech organizations that also belong.
Perhaps most depressingly, we discovered that Ars Technica, one of the most reputable and respected tech news websites, is not very different from the worst offenders of surveillance capitalism. And, whether knowingly or not, they are active participants. Be aware that many of these pop-ups we encountered are never visible or shown to visitors of other browsers because their browser is not effectively blocking the collection network—there's no need to tell someone to stop blocking the network if it isn't blocked.
If you want to replicate our results, then use the Tor browser and take a cruise around your favorite tech news websites.
The tech media could rise up against their masters and begin investigating the true means and purposes behind the technology products and privacy policies they push on people, they could make the arduous transition to being solely sources for journalism and advice rather than the most effective sales team a tech company has ever had. They would surely face a backlash from the industry and most would have to scale down their operations as a large portion, if not all, of their revenue would be temporarily cut off.
We are optimistic here at the blog and believe that, whatever is likely to occur, the tech media certainly has the power to help the world push back against this new "frontier of power".³ With a steady and loyal viewership whose thoughts are formed from, and minds shaped by, the flow of articles produced across their platform, the tech media could be a formidable opponent to surveillance capitalists.
We're guilty ourselves of often turning to these sources for any sort of news or investigation into these topics. A quick look through our articles will reveal a steady stream of quoted tech news sites (The Verge and Ars Technica being a majority). Where else is there to look? And real news is there, but it is buried under a mountain of ads and propaganda masquerading as such.
At the bare minimum, the tech media could at least be discussing these issues and raising the public awareness. That's what we do here at the blog since we have yet to acquire the resources to transition away from our hosting company (Squarespace—a facilitator in surveillance capitalism) and onto our own infrastructure (a necessary step to better protect our own users from surveillance—readers can help speed up that transition by donating).
In the meantime, the result of the tech news sites' journalistic failings is a "Wild West" for the tech industry as they run largely free and un-scrutinized.
But it's not just a lack of scrutiny, now the tech media organizations have been roped into facilitating, generating, and increasing the power of the conglomerates by embedding surveillance capitalist tracking network technologies on their websites and forcing users to accept the same corrupt privacy policies.
The result is a barren landscape for truth and reciprocity.
It is imperative, for we are in a drought so severe that our minds, and very nature, may never recover.
Donate Now to our work here and help us continue to analyze and uncover the truth behind tech "news". Your donations will also help us build and maintain our own independent infrastructure to host and deliver the blog to our readers free of surveillance.
We'll be publishing a list of good companies in the future to help you avoid the rabbit hole when searching for a trustworthy, socially responsible, company.

Does the scientific journal have a future?
This summer, scholars will use the break from teaching to submit manuscripts, review papers and develop new ideas. But even as the major functions of scholarly publishing march on, scholars, publishers and librarians start to ask, "What does the future of the scholarly journal look like?" Perhaps we should be asking a different question.
In 2012, Jason Priem and Bradley Hemminger made the case for a Decoupled Journal, in which the individual services related to publication are performed independently. This vision is now closer to reality.
As I look at some of the intriguing developments in scholarly publishing over the last few years, it seems as though most of the functions of the scholarly journals are now also done independently by third parties, making the scholarly journal less and less vital to the publication process.
After the manuscript is written, the first step in the publication process is submission. This step can now be handled by posting a pre-print. A growing number of disciplinary repositories accept pre-prints and other manuscripts, as well as offer some kind of version control. The original pre-print server, arXiv.org, has seen incredible growth in recent years, including documents from an expanding number of academic subjects. Support from libraries across the world is helping to ensure its sustainability. In biology, pre-print servers such as PeerJ and BioRxiv are growing, and researchers are making the case for wide-spread acceptance of pre-prints.
After submission, manuscripts are typically reviewed by peers selected by editors or suggested by the authors. Third party peer review systems and open review processes are now taking this on. Authors can now seek out independent reviewers through services such as Rubriq, Axois and others. These services coordinate the peer review (sometimes even paying reviewers!) and authors can take the reviews with them. Open review sites such as PubPeer can provide feedback on papers, allowing authors to make updates and improvements (especially if version control is provided).
Of course, journals are used as a proxy for quality: because it was published in Nature, I know it has to be good. This is done on a qualitative basis (brand recognition) and quantitatively (journal metrics, such as the impact factor). But article level metrics (pioneered by PLOS) and alternative metrics (see Altmetric or PlumAnalytics) are now providing more precise measurements of various quality indicators and provide some context for those numbers as well.
So right now, in 2014, authors can post manuscripts online, have them reviewed by independent experts, track versions and examine article impact without the need for a scholarly journal.
Many of the signs are pointing to an academic publishing model based on the article, not the journal. This doesn't mean that publishers will go away, but individual journals may not matter as much in the future. Like other brands, loyalty to individual journals may decrease. Even now, articles appear on publisher websites that can make it difficult to tell which journal the article is in. The predominant branding is typically for the publisher, possibly the platform (e.g. ScienceDirect), and the article. Journal branding is typically relgated to a small thumbnail of a journal cover.
Martin Fenner has made a compelling case that the future of scholarly publishing may not even lie at the article level, but at an even finer grained level where data, analysis, code and other information products live separate (but closely linked) lives. As the call for greater sharing of research data and code grows louder, researchers are citing data sets more often and scholars are starting to get credit for publishing high quality data.
Certainly, the statistical trend of journal growth undercuts my argument. But scholarly publishing is a very slowly changing business and has changed little since the 17th century when the first scientific journals were published. Interesting new developments in open access and peer review and providing new opportunities for researchers. Another important consideration is the business models of for-profit publishers, which seems to favor increasing numbers of journals. Creating a new journal is another way to ask for additional subscription fees. But these techniques may not work much longer as open access grows and funders require authors to make publications available.
While I won't write an obituary for the scholarly journal quite yet, the tools currently in place mean that the journal isn't necessary, and may eventually be resigned to the articles about scholarly publishing history.

Thomas "Tom" Shepherd
Regina born Tom Shepherd has never put on a uniform for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but he has been one of the most valuable players for the team over the years. Tom's commitment to the team and efforts to raise funds has played a major role in the success and survival of Saskatchewan's prized Canadian Football League (CFL) team.
Shepherd's 43-year involvement with the Roughriders began in 1966, when he helped with the club's audit. He has since been a member of the executive committee from 1978-2001, serving as treasurer and budget and finance chairman from 1979-2001, vice-president from 1985-1986, president from 1986-1989, and past-president from 1990-1992 and 1994-1995. Tom was a member of the board for the 1995 and 2003 Grey Cups in Regina, and as past president, Shepherd was instrumental in the bid for Regina to host the 1995 Grey Cup and the selection of the organizing committee, which turned over a profit of $2.7 million to the football club. He was a member of the CFL Management Council and the Saskatchewan Roughrider Governor on the CFL Board of Governors from 1987-1989.
Along with past president, Gordon Staseson, Shepherd established the Green and White Lounge at Mosaic Stadium, which has contributed to the financial health of the organization. In conjunction with Regina hosting the 1995 Grey Cup, local businessman Paul Hill and Shepherd undertook a project to construct enclosed club seating at the football stadium. These seats now bring in annual revenue of more than $350,000 for the Roughriders. The highlight of Shepherd's involvement with the football club has been the Saskatchewan Roughriders Touchdown Lottery, which he has chaired since its inception. The lottery has contributed more than $10.6 million to the Roughriders since 1986.Shepherd was also a key figure with the Regina Rams Football Club, having been involved with the team for the past 41 years, serving as director, treasurer, and ticket chairman for Rams fundraising dinners through seven national championships. Tom was instrumental in fundraising for the football club through the Ram Scholarship Fund and the Gordon Currie Scholarship Trust Fund.
Shepherd has been honoured with lifetime memberships from both the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Regina Rams. He was inducted into the Saskatchewan Roughrider Plaza of Honor in 1995, the Regina Sports Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2008.
Installed in the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame and Museum on June 13th, 2009.

Belfast City Council has moved to apologise after a change to bin collections in the city descended into chaos.
The problem stemmed from the decision to change over schedules and the way that people were to be informed about those alterations.
A total of 160,000 letters were produced to explain the changes for 310 routes.
However, the Council said that when the new bin collections moved into action on Monday morning, it was clear that the communication had not reached around 30-40% of households.
The crisis worsened with the news that several hundred of the letters were discovered in a skip in the Oldpark area, meaning they had not been delivered at all.
New letters have been issued but the Council said that could take up to two weeks and the overall problem may not be resolved for another three weeks.
Nigel Grimshaw, Director of City and Neighbourhood Services at the Council, said they were working hard to rectify the issue. "We were dealing with a contractor and unfortunately the contractor let us down on this occasion," he said.
"Ultimately we can have our conversation with the contractor, but at the end of the day residents rightly expect the Council to deal with this matter and that's what we're doing.
