Nearly six months later, two Occupy benefit albums struggle to break even
By Sam Rolens | September 19, 2012 | 2
In May, Rob "Reason" Silver, a part-time record producer from Oakland, and Jason Samel, the owner of a small insurance brokerage in New York, announced their nearly identical but independently conceived plans to bring a new element into the national Occupy protest—marketability. Both had come to the conclusion that there was potential within the anti-capitalistic, determinedly decentralized protest to sell a product that could help raise funds and draw in new supporters. In May, both men launched Occupy benefit albums.

There used to be grass here, but it didn't last long―not after the bodies started multiplying and the make-shift community started growing. Now the space is covered in mud and heaps of hay. And a runaway pancake that slid off of someone's blue-plastic plate. And a stray sock, and a boardwalk of planks. And feet. Hundreds of feet. This used to be Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, but not any more. Welcome to Occupy Oakland.
Saturday's Oakland protestors filling the streets — video
After police served Occupy Oakland campers an eviction notice last night, demonstrators took to the streets, marching in a circuit around Lake Merritt this morning, October 22. The march lasted about three hours and remained peaceful. It appeared to span a wide range of age, race, religious and political differences. When asked about the possibility of eviction, one man, who only gave his first name Ethan, said, "I'm not going to fight them, but I'm definitely not going to leave."


Did you miss the best real estate market in recent history?
I often have people ask me if they have missed out on the best real estate market that they might see in their lifetime. Even though prices here in Phoenix have been steadily increasing for the last 18 months, my answer is always the same. NO; but if you haven't bought yet, you missed the rock bottom. Here's the good news: even though you've missed the bottom, prices are still low in relative terms and interest rates are still incredibly low by historic standards. If you are out to buy a home for the long term, the increase in prices we've had since the absolute bottom shouldn't make much of a difference in 5, 10, or 15 years when you go to sell. You should work with a qualified real estate professional who will help you make wise and savvy decisions in your real estate purchase. If you are buying a primary residence, buy a home you can afford. If you are buying an investment property, buy a home that will pay for itself.
If you would like information or market statistics on the Phoenix real estate market, feel free to contact me through the "contact me" section of this website or by emailing me at [email protected] I prepare monthly market statistics that I compare to the previous 36 months to show trends in prices and inventory levels. I'm also happy to provide you a free buyer's guide which has a ton of great information about what to expect when buying in the Phoenix market.

Egypt and Iran Vie for Influence in Gaza
Yaakov Lappin
3 Iyyar 5779 – May 8, 2019
Photo Credit: Abed Rahim Khatib / Flash 90
Portraits of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas hang at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt on November 1, 2017.
{Originally posted to the BESA website}
At the start of April, Hebrew media reports quoted unnamed Israeli security officials as saying that the Iranian-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror faction, which possesses a rocket arsenal even larger than that of Hamas, was planning a major attack on Israeli targets.
The disclosure of this information appeared to achieve its goal of discouraging the perpetrators, and no attack transpired. But the fact that PIJ was reportedly planning an incident that could have upset Egyptian attempts to restore calm to the Gaza Strip could hint at a wider struggle taking place within Gaza between Egypt and Iran.
Gaza's ruling regime, Hamas, has reportedly faced demands from Egypt in recent months to decide whether it "takes its orders from Tehran or continues to implement the understandings for calm" formulated by the head of Egyptian intelligence Abbas Kamel.
The clash of interests between these two regional powers seems clear. Egypt wishes to see Gaza calm, stable, and cut off from ISIS-affiliated terror networks in Sinai, which also threaten Egyptian security; while Iran sees Gaza as one more base from which it can exercise its radical influence and encourage the growth of a terrorist army that threatens not only Israel but the stability of the whole region.
Iran transfers $100 million a year to the military wings of Hamas and PIJ collectively, according to Israeli estimates.
Boaz Ganor, executive director of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, recalled that with the signing of the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, Cairo had no interest in retaking Gaza.
Egypt's President Anwar Sadat "understood the problematic nature of this territory, which is the most crowded in the world, and racked with poverty, fundamentalism, and a lack of a sovereign ruler," said Ganor. As a result, Sadat did not demand a return to Egyptian rule over Gaza, even though Egypt had controlled the Strip prior to the 1967 Six-Day War.
"What Sadat understood, [current Egyptian President Abdel Fattah] El-Sisi also understands, although in a different manner," Ganor said. "Sisi understands that the Strip contains many risks to Egypt within it. Hamas, which controls Gaza, is tied by the umbilical cord to its mother movement – the Muslim Brotherhood – who are Sisi's loathed strategic enemies."
Sisi has identified a process of Iranian infiltration into Gaza via its proxy, PIJ, "and is concerned by the growth of a forward Iranian post on the northern border of Egypt," said Ganor.
Another source of concern for Sisi is the fact that ISIS in Sinai is linked to other Salafi-jihadist elements in Gaza. These security and political factors, as well as Egyptian concern over the prospect of a new armed conflict erupting between Israel and Hamas on Egypt's border, have all led to "massive Egyptian intervention and a will to be active in what is taking place in the Strip," said Ganor. Israel, for its part, is in favor of this intervention and has even requested it over the years.
Iran is trying to neutralize Egyptian influence in Gaza, Ganor noted, while looking to tighten its links with its Gazan proxies. Tehran is trying to transfer funds and weapons into Gaza. "It also seeks to instruct its proxies to disrupt every process that can lead to calm," said Ganor.
Tehran's relationship with Hamas is somewhat complicated.
According to Ganor, "Iran's influence on Hamas is significant, but much smaller than its influence on Hezbollah. Hamas zealously safeguards its independence and does not view itself as being obligated to Iranian interests."
The Iranian branch in Gaza
Lt. Col. (res.) Michael Segall, a senior analyst at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and a former head of the Iran Branch at the Israel Defense Forces' Military Intelligence Directorate, described PIJ as a "kind of Iranian branch inside the Gaza Strip." The PIJ's former leader, Ramadan Salah, as well its current chief, Ziad Nakhalah, are both frequent visitors to Iran, where they are "familiar guests," said Segall.
With Iran conducting training sessions for PIJ inside the Islamic Republic, the organization is an "explicit proxy of Iran, in contrast to Hamas, which is under Iranian influence but has its own agenda and is more independent," he argued.
Egypt has far more at stake in Gaza, which is at its back door. "Whatever happens in Sinai directly influences Egypt. Iran, meanwhile, is distant, and tries to activate its influence in Gaza by remote control," said Segall.
He summed up the Iranian proxy strategy as follows: "The more Israel bleeds on its borders, the less it can engage Iran directly." And the Iranians would like the same thing to happen in the West Bank, with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calling for terror factions there to be armed just as they are in Gaza.
"This is central component in Iranian doctrine. It's about asymmetric warfare. Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria have become part of Iran's asymmetric warfare doctrine," said Segall.
PIJ has used Iranian-made sniper rifles to fire on the IDF, as well as advanced bombs. It manufactures rockets with Iranian know-how – all part of Iran's attempt to "sharpen its influence and leave its footprint" in Gaza.
Segall positions Gaza as one element in a broader "Iranian war, which plays out in other places, including Yemen, where the Houthis operate against Saudi Arabia, firing missiles against it. It is very similar to what is happening in Gaza. The Iranians work with a proxy toolbox against the Saudis, the Egyptians and Gulf states. This is not limited to Gaza," he said.
While Iran has the power to activate PIJ to disrupt Egyptian mediation efforts or spark a new conflict, PIJ also faces pressure from Hamas, which can force its will on it, including through the force of arms, according to Segall.
"I think that on the day they receive their orders from Iran, PIJ will obey and cash its checks, which it has received over the years from the Iranians," he said.

Watch this maniac's 13-story jump into water in terrifying 60 FPS

Every once in a while you see something on the internet that just makes you go 'nope'.
Masked YouTuber 8booth first builds up the tension by filming how he's climbing up flights of stairs with an effect that's reminiscent of first-person shooter games. He then arrives on the rooftop, spending only a few seconds standing there before jumping off. He barely misses the wooden dock, escaping serious injury or death by a few inches.
The experience is exceptionally recorded with help of GoPro's newest devices – a Hero 5 Black attached to his head, and the smaller Session to this wrist. The two devices give a great view of the daredevil stunt by recording in 1080p at 60 frames per second — something that definitely makes the video that much more intense.
The fact this has been shot with two action cams only weeks after they were released makes the video look like a guerilla publicity stunt, but as the video looks like he's illegally trespassing there's a small chance.
I'm good, thanks.

Could Gerrard comments on careless treatment of Rangers' McCrorie explain his patience?
Rangers talent Ross McCrorie has not featured much this season.
At just 20-years-old, Rangers ace Ross McCrorie is living the dream playing for the Ibrox club.
Yet this season seems so underwhelming for the midfielder.
Steven Gerrard has selected him in only four league games for a combined 133 minutes of football.
Last season by comparison, McCrorie made 21 appearances in the league, with his game time adding up to more than 1,700 minutes.
So what's behind McCrorie's lack of chances?
The obvious answer is the increased competition in midfield. Rangers have signed players like Ovie Ejaria and Lassana Coulibaly on loan and Steven Gerrard wants to get a look at them while he can.
More chances could open up for McCrorie in the second half of the season.
It was also telling how Gerrard hit out at previous Rangers' regimes for playing him in defence last season.
BT Sport reported in the summer that Gerrard blasted: "We had a player playing at centre-back position, that wasn't his real position, he was thrown in at the deep end. He could have been easily destroyed in terms of career wise. We felt that decision was careless."
McCrorie was sent off in Rangers' cup semi-final against Celtic and it appeared to dent his confidence.
Gerrard appears to be trying to protect the youngster by limiting his game time. If he was not concerned about McCrorie, he would not have said it.
Again, Rangers boss Gerrard could loosen up his protectiveness of McCrorie later in the season, but now, it seems like the manager is being deliberate in taking the midfielder's bounce-back season very slowly.

Dental Hygiene Practitioner: What Expanding Roles Mean for Patients
Author: Sharon Boyd, RDH, BS
In May of 2016, the Massachusetts state Senate unanimously approved an amendment that calls for the expanded role of the advanced dental hygiene practitioner (ADHP/DHP), reports Health Care for All. The position is described as a mid-level oral health care provider. According to Dimensions of Dental Hygiene, already, many states and over 50 countries have benefited from the advanced education and expertise of dental hygiene practitioners. But how can this position affect your dental practice? Read on to learn more about why DHPs are so valuable to patients and dental offices alike, and why some professionals are apprehensive about the new position.
Why Have a Mid-Level Practitioner?
This newly created role helps bridge the gap between dentists and underserved populations, especially those utilizing government-run health plans. In Massachusetts, DHPs could potentially reach the nearly quarter million people who don't have access to a general dentist, primarily due to financial restraints. In states like Minnesota, childhood poverty is higher than the national average, and only about 42 percent of public health program recipients have access to dental care, according to Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. To try to alleviate some of that strain, Minnesota's legislature — the first in the country — voted to create this new role in 2009, according to the American Dental Hygienists Association (ADHA).
Alaska is perhaps one of the most progressive states when it comes to implementing alternative dental care. The state hosts a specialty called dental health aid therapists (DHATs). DHATs provide care to tribal populations in remote areas where dentists cannot be reached, according to the ADHA. Their scope of practice includes dentist-taught restorative techniques that are high-quality and cost-effective. There is not necessarily a need like this in every community, but it's an example of how a mid-level oral health provider can provide care to underserved groups.
How Do DHPs Help Dentists?
DHPs do not replace dentists. Rather, they help meet an unmet demand and supplement access to essential care that people aren't already getting. Adding a DHP to a private dental practice could also potentially save dental employers an estimated $50,000 per year when compared to hiring a new dentist, says NYU. Advanced dental hygiene practitioners also allow dentists to focus on larger and more complex cases, while delegating others to the DHP. For example, in Minnesota, DHPs with a bachelor's degree are allowed to "provide restorative and surgical procedures under the indirect supervision of a dentist," according to Dimensions of Dental Hygiene. With a master's degree, and the completion of 2,000 work hours, they can also add "oral evaluations and assessments, treatment planning, nonsurgical extractions of class 3 or class 4 periodontally involved teeth, and the ability to provide, dispense, and administer certain medications under general supervision (without a dentist on-site)."
Additionally, one of the reasons some private practices may choose to not serve Medicaid patients is because Medicaid reimbursements are low. It becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible, to yield a profit without sacrificing quality of care and the time that dental professionals can spend with their patients. However, if a DHP performs the same procedures, it can become cost-effective for the practice to open its services to more Medicaid patients as this generates income.
What Are the Arguments Against Mid-Level Oral Health Providers?
There are some who are still apprehensive about mid-level oral health providers. Some claim that the care provided by DHPs is unsafe and jeopardizes the well-being of patients. However, according to the ADHA, to date, pilot programs have shown safe and effective outcomes.
Some dentists may argue that DHPs will eliminate income generation for future dentists in the field. But, the additions of nurse practitioners and physician assistants to practices have not eliminated the need for medical doctors. Instead, the medical team works together and can improve access to care.
Public health standards dictate the rigorous training and education of DHPs. In addition to holding a bachelor's degree and thousands of hours of clinical experience, to advance in this position, you must also complete a master's level DHP program. It should be noted that states like Colorado already allow independent hygiene practice outside of the oversight of a dentist, and California has a Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice (RDHAP) program to practice outside of a traditional dentist office, including schools and nursing homes with a specialized license. However, there is still a need in rural areas where neither traditional or nontraditional dental practices exist.
Which States Are Taking Action?
The DHP could make it possible for at-risk and low-income individuals to obtain care that they currently have little to no access to. Approximately 20 states are pursuing or exploring licensed mid-level practitioner legislation, according to Dimensions of Dental Hygiene.
Findings indicate that mid-level oral health practitioners deliver safe care to underserved populations that cannot access care by dentists.
Employing a DHP could save offices approximately $50,000 per year.
Services provided by DHPs have been shown to be safe and effective in pilot programs.
Dental hygiene practitioners serve as mid-level providers who are necessary to bridge the gap between dentists and underserved populations, especially those on government-run health plans, meaning better dental health across your community.

The New Music Dublin was an actioned packed ten concert series over three days with a range of music that went far beyond just featuring headline acts. The featured composers were Gerald Barry and Tom Ades. Barry was represented by a concert performance of his new opera Alice's Adventures Under Ground with the RTE Concert Orchestra, the orchestral version of Wiener Blut, chamber works, Lisbon, Octet, piano duet (played by Barry/Ades) Five Chorales and songs Water Parted. Tom Ades was also well represented by his works Totentanz, Living Toys, Piano Quartet and Mazurkas. Pianist in his own Mazurkas and Gerald Barry's piano duet Five Chorales and conductor of his own work (Totentanz with gripping vocal soloists Christianne Stotijn and Simon Keenlyside). Ades displayed remarkable skill in all three areas of his creative life (composer, conductor and pianist), and demonstrated his obvious passion as a committed conductor of new music.
This trip also enabled me to support three composer colleagues from the Birmingham Conservatoire who had world premieres: Ed Bennett's new orchestral work, Psychedielia performed by the RTE National Symphony Orchestra, Sean Clancy's Five Lines of Music Slow Down and Eventually Stop performed by RTE Contempo Quartet and Andrew Hamilton's O'Rourke performed by soprano Michelle O'Rourke. Other notable first performances came from Stephen Gardner, Jerk, Linda Buckley, Haza and Simon Mayo Streets Became Liars.
Attendance at concerts forms an important part of the listening log I have produced for my research that relates to my ongoing composition projects. Also as another aspect of this log my research is looking at the wider artistic world, and to this end I visited three important galleries while at the music festival. The Hugh Lane gallery, famous for owning the reconstructed original Francis Bacon studio and many of his paintings, sketches and drawing but also includes a wide range of contemporary art including Guston, Kossoff etc and a room devoted to William McKeown, who work seemed to closely relate to that of Agnes Martin. Doorway Gallery, which deals with local artists and represents aspects of the current stylistic interests in the Irish art world, was useful to assess attitudes to art in a more localised way. The last gallery I visited was the Irish Museum of Modern Art which has an amazing collection of art from around the world.

H.E. Eng. Awaidha Murshed Al Marar: Innovation holds the key to addressing the challenges facing the UAE over the next 50 years, and drives all efforts to accomplish energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
Feb 2,2022
His Excellency Eng. Awaidha Murshed Al Marar, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE), asserted that innovation is the key to finding unconventional solutions to the challenges facing the UAE on its journey towards the next 50. It is a cornerstone of all efforts to accomplish energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
"Innovation plays a pivotal role in leading the UAE's future-driven system and our wise leadership is making great efforts to promote innovation as a strategy in many sectors, especially in energy, which is a fundamental pillar for achieving sustainable economic development," H.E. added, speaking on the launch of UAE Innovates 2022. "Innovation can set the stage for game-changing experiments in clean and renewable energy, help develop new efficient and eco-friendly water desalination technologies, and generate new ways to enhance energy efficiency across all sectors, buildings, and facilities. This, in turn, allows us to better cater to the future energy and water needs of the community, as well as to set plans to ensure better results as innovation is implemented across all operations in the sector.
"Innovation is more than a concept; it is a mindset we strive to embed in every employee and member of the community to advance every sector and create new opportunities for all of us in the future," H.E. Al Marar noted. "As the entity tasked with developing the Abu Dhabi energy sector, the DoE encourages its employees and experts to rely on innovation as a means to achieve our objectives, with innovative policies capable of making a clear impact on Abu Dhabi and the UAE's energy journey. We aim to put the entire industry on track for unprecedented development with advanced energy technologies across all operational aspects.
"We are confident that innovation is the way forward for development in the UAE, and a powerful means to ensure its economic competitiveness," H.E. added. "By launching pioneering initiatives to encourage everyone to innovate, we will pave the way for new generations that are committed to innovation and can look forward to much more prosperity for our country."

Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova have been confirmed as the top seeds for the men's and women's draws at Wimbledon this year.
Djokovic, the defending men's champion, tops the seedings as expected - with Rafael Nadal second, Roger Federer third and Andy Murray fourth.
Elsewhere, three-time finalist Andy Roddick is seeded 30th in a nod to his past performances at All England Club, while David Nalbandian - the runner-up in 2002 - is unseeded having been ranked No. 28 last year.
There had been reports that Nalbandian would be left off the seeds after his default in the final of the AEGON Championships at Queen's Club last week, where he kicked a line judge.
In the women's draw, world No. 1 Sharapova takes the top seed despite losing in the final at SW19 last year. The defending champion Petra Kvitova is seeded fourth - with Serena Williams at No. 6 as she bids for her fifth Wimbledon crown.
Sister Venus is unseeded, however, a reflection of her sparse recent appearances and underwhelming results.

Recent CIO round table events and market investigations have highlighted the growing pressure on CIOs to move quickly to deliver 'agile' technologies and services that can keep pace with ever-changing business needs.
Many solutions are typically developed by small startup companies that are able to react quickly to shifting market and technology trends, but dealing with such companies is clearly potentially more risky than doing business with less innovative, but long established tier-one suppliers.
But even after the recent financial crisis when demands to rein in costs for many organisations have been unprecedented, playing it safe is becoming more and more commercially untenable as rivals seek competitive advantage through strategic technology roll-outs. In this environment it is increasingly evident that the way in which forward-thinking companies go about sourcing products and services is undergoing a transformation. Established and lucrative vendor revenue models are being challenged by a powerful confluence of forces – technological and cultural – including social media, tablets, smartphones, BYOD, the cloud and the trend towards consumerisation of IT.
In light of these pressures, CIOs are increasingly evolving their sourcing strategies to deliver diverse application landscapes that can incorporate innovative additions from small, fast-moving technology startups, rather than relying principally on large suites of applications from single top-tier providers.
Mike Wright, global head of technology at hedge fund Man Group, says there is evidence of migration and movement in almost all dimensions of the technology spectrum in today's market. "There are extraordinary vibrant factors in operation and there is a push and a conflict between consolidation of supplier base for cost efficiency verses seeking innovation from a variety of suppliers," he says.
Richard Warner, CIO of insurance giant LV=, agrees that, in today's diverse world where there is a wide range of legacy applications combined with emerging new technologies, CIOs are facing ever more stringent demands for innovative technology to address rapidly changing business needs. He believes that the issue of addressing the broad universe of suppliers required to support such complex heterogeneous technology and business ecosystems is becoming more complex in many organisations.
Warner says that effective technology and intellectual property (IP) sourcing strategies must strike a balance between engaging leading-edge companies and safe but less pioneering tier-one suppliers.
"For many years people perused the Nirvana of how to simplify and consolidate estate," says Warner.
"And while we need to strive to do this when we can, the reality is in every large enterprise where I have worked there has been in the region of 200 to 400 major applications. It never seems to get much lower than that.
"We need to live with this and go on to understand how we manage this complexity and how to identify new and emerging technologies that we can plug into this landscape. And more importantly we need to work out how we can plug them in and leverage them quickly and effectively. One of the challenges is that some of these emerging technologies may be very well known and we are seeing many of these new ideas developed by small- to medium-sized enterprises.
Warner points out that typically more radical emerging ideas and technologies are usually better accessed through smaller companies where there tends to be more "breakthrough thinking" and commercial flexibility. In addition to partnering with highly innovative small companies, LV= has encouraged internal innovation and speeded up in-house project delivery.
"To differentiate in our market we need to move quickly and exploit emerging technology as it comes out. Some projects will work and some will fail, but how do we set ourselves up to do this? We have set up a small internal team called Fast Track to see how to apply emerging technologies to solve business problems. These guys are working independently, scanning the market and looking through various research organisations to see what is coming out," Warner explains.
Identifying the micro and macro trends driving large enterprises to increase their engagement with smaller suppliers of technology and IP, Paul Feldman, CTO Thomson Reuters UK and Ireland Legal, points out that ease and speed of technology deployment is emerging as a key driver.
"I think there have always been niche players that added value which have been used. The key difference is that deployment of solutions is so much easier now than it used to be. There is a lot less risk and it is easy to put something in because it is comparatively easy to take it out if it does not work as expected. It is easier to do the things that we have always wanted to do, and to some extent have done," says Feldman.
"I believe there has been fundamental shift in the industry. But we are still going to need the very big companies – the Oracles, the IBMs, the Apples and the Microsofts. They all provide the solid foundations that our businesses run on, and nothing I am seeing is changing that. The vast majority of services will be delivered through the capability delivered by the large industry players.
LV='s Warner believes that moves towards "digitisation of everything" are changing consumer behaviour and altering expectations of how people interact with businesses at multiple levels. He notes that, when adopting a diverse sourcing strategy, picking out the winners from a large field of small to medium-sized firms is a key issue. He explains that to manage these risks LV= has partnered with Clustre, an organisation that identifies and then partners with viable smaller companies developing innovative technologies and charges them a fee to connect them with potential buyers of their offerings.
Robert Baldock, Clustre's managing director noted that "virtually all" of the company's member firms have experienced a significant spike in interest and activity, despite these difficult economic times.
"This clearly points to a growing interest in value-for-money innovation services. Whether this is at the expense of major traditional services it is impossible to say, but with budgets constrained in many global companies, it is reasonable to surmise that the large traditional suppliers may well be the losers," says Baldock.
He adds that CIOs are currently "genuinely interested" in smaller technology companies.
"They are also open-minded enough to seriously consider smaller, more agile alternatives to conventional solutions. This is a significant shift away from past attitudes. There is a clear kick-back against traditional management consultant fee structures. In these straitened times, the pressure to look for lower-cost solutions is very evident and this plays to SMEs' key strengths," Baldock says.
Looking at this trend towards more complex sourcing strategies as a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis provides a useful perspective for CIOs, according to Wright of Man Group. He notes that IT organisations have got smaller over the last few years as cost pressures have intensified in the wake of the credit crunch, forcing much project work to be passed out of house.
"Both the breadth of skills and the depth of resources are less than they were so the need to go out-of-house has increased. The strength of using multiple patterns is that you can marry the security of large providers with smaller firms that are more innovative, or more knowledgeable about specific skills; you then potentially get the best of both worlds. But you need to find effective ways of managing that risk," said Wright.

Indian Cricket Legend, Mithali Raj To Get A Biopic, Tapsee Pannu May Play The Iconic Sportsperson
Aishwarya Dharni

Sportswomen in our country are finally getting the much deserved recognition. Captain of the Indian women's cricket team, Mithali Raj is all set to get her own biopic.
According to speculations, Taapsee Pannu will be taking on the role of the Indian cricketer.
Source: Urban Asian
Hailing from Jodhpur, Mithali Raj has completed twenty years in International Cricket. She is also considered one of the greatest batswomen the game has ever witnessed. During the Women's Twenty20 Asia Cup in 2018, she became the leading run-scorer for India.
Source: Highlights India
The project was announced back in 2017 by Viacom18 and has generated a lot of interest. According to Mirror Now, Taapsee has verbally agreed but she is yet to sign the papers to make it official. All the other formalities will be completed once a director comes on board. The script is still being developed.
Seeing female sportspersons finally being praised for their excellence with their efforts getting recognised is a great step towards women empowerment.

Q: IndexedDB takes time to initialize outer scope variable db which is needed in another function I am opening a database using indexedDB using javascript for keeping a diary entry. I am doing three things with the database: display all entry, add entry, and remove entry.
It fails when it tries to create a transaction because 'db' is 'undefined.' I was expecting db to be defined by the time the code tries to create a transaction.
Error is caused at the line with code:
      const getObjectStore = (storeName, mode) => {
        console.log('db: ', db);
        const tx = db.transaction(storeName, mode); // error is thrown because db is undefined
        return tx.objectStore(storeName);
      };

I tried to put console.log at different places to see what is wrong. I found that db takes time before it gets defined by an onsuccess response or onupgradeneeded response. I don't see any other way to define db before it is used. Can you show me how I can assure myself for the assignment of db before it is used?
Outputs:
> adding something in the diary
> db from getObjectStore:  undefined
> Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'transaction' of undefined
    at getObjectStore (script.js:35)
    at Object.setAnEntry [as add] (script.js:62)

> there is indexeddb!
> db:  IDBDatabase {name: "medDiary", version: 1, objectStoreNames: DOMStringList, onabort: null, onclose: null, …}

All the code i am working with:
  // DATABASE FOR THE DIARY

  const Dairy = (() => {
    if (window.indexedDB) {
      let db;
      const DB_NAME = 'Dairy';
      const DB_VERSION = 1;
      const DB_STORE_NAME = 'diaries';
      const request = window.indexedDB.open(DB_NAME, DB_VERSION);

      request.onerror = () => {
        console.log('Error requesting to open database permission denied.');
      };
      request.onsuccess = (event) => {
        console.log('there is indexeddb!');
        db = event.target.result;
        console.log('db: ', db);
        db.onerror = (evt) => {
          console.error(`Database error: ${evt.target.errorCode}`);
        };
      };

      request.onupgradeneeded = (event) => {
        db = request.result;
        const store = event.currentTarget.result.createObjectStore(DB_STORE_NAME, { keyPath: 'date' });
        store.createIndex('subject', 'subject', { unique: false });
        store.createIndex('date', 'date', { unique: true });
        store.createIndex('description', 'description', { unique: false });
      };

      const getObjectStore = (storeName, mode) => {
        console.log('db from getObjectStore: ', db);
        const tx = db.transaction(storeName, mode);
        return tx.objectStore(storeName);
      };

      const getAllEntries = () => new Promise((resolve) => {
        const result = [];
        const store = getObjectStore(DB_STORE_NAME, 'readonly');
        const req = store.openCursor();

        req.onsuccess = (evt) => {
          const cursor = evt.target.result;

          if (cursor) {
            const retrive = store.get(cursor.key);
            retrive.onsuccess = function (evt) {
              const value = evt.target.result;
              result.append(value);
            };
            cursor.continue();
          } else {
            console.log('No more entries');
            resolve(result);
          }
        };
      });

      const setAnEntry = (value) => {
        const store = getObjectStore(DB_STORE_NAME, 'readwrite');
        store.put(value);
      };
      const removeAnEntry = (value) => {
        const store = getObjectStore(DB_STORE_NAME, 'readwrite');
        store.remove(value);
      };

      return {
        all: getAllEntries,
        add: setAnEntry,
        remove: removeAnEntry,
      };
    }
    alert("Your browser doesn't support a stable version of IndexedDB. Dairy related features will not be available.");
    return {};
  })();

  console.log('adding something in the diary');
  console.log('... ', Dairy.add({ subject: 'hello', description: 'bluh bluh', date: Date() }));
  console.log('show all: ', Dairy.all());

A: You can use a promise to open the DB:
let promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject)
        {
            //check for support
            if (!('indexedDB' in window)) {
                //console.log('This browser doesn\'t support IndexedDB');
                reject("indexedDB not supported");
            }

            var request = indexedDB.open(dbName, dbVersion);
            request.onerror = function (event) {
                reject("Error opening DB");
            };
            request.onsuccess = function (event) {
                console.log("opened!");
                db = request.result;
                resolve(true);
            };
        });

And then you can use:
promise
    .then(
        result => {
            your stuff here sine the DB is now open!!
        },
        error => console.log(error)
    )

The parameter passed to resolve will be available as 'result'.
To use in your module format:
Add init function:
async function init()
{
    let promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject)
        {
            //check for support
            if (!('indexedDB' in window)) {
                //console.log('This browser doesn\'t support IndexedDB');
                reject("indexedDB not supported");
            }

            var request = indexedDB.open(dbName, dbVersion);
            request.onerror = function (event) {
                reject("Error opening DB");
            };
            request.onsuccess = function (event) {
                console.log("opened!");
                db = request.result;
                resolve(true);
            };
        });
    let result = await promise;
}

Your module rewritten:
const Dairy = (() => {
    if (window.indexedDB)
    {
        let db;
        const DB_NAME = 'Dairy';
        const DB_VERSION = 1;
        const DB_STORE_NAME = 'diaries';
        async function init()
        {
            let promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject)
            {
                const request = window.indexedDB.open(DB_NAME, DB_VERSION);

                request.onerror = () => {

You vehicle insurance premium may not rise this year. In a big relief to consumer, insurance regulator has decided not to raise the third-party insurance premiums for bikes, cars and commercial vehicles this year. Every year, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) fixes third-party insurance rates.
Third-party insurance rates have increased almost every year in the range of 10-40 percent in the last decade and there were expectations that IRDAI may increase the rates this year as well. But in a big relief to consumers the regulator has chosen not to revise third-party insurance rates this year.
"IRDAI extends the validity of premium rates beyond March 31, 2019, until further notice. In other words, insurers shall continue to charge the rates currently being charged for Motor Third Party Liability lnsurance Cover from April 1, 2019 onwards until further orders," IRDAI said in a notification.
Supreme Court last year had asked all general insurance companies to offer only long-term third-party motor covers to policyholders. After that Irdai had directed the insurers to offer only three-year motor third-party covers for new cars and five-year policies for new two-wheelers.

Keeping the wheels of Galloway turning for over 160 years!
McCreadie's is the progression of a long established family business tracing its roots back to the early 19th century.
There have been McCreadie's in business on the same site as the current modern dealership stands since the early 1800s when the current managing director Ian McCreadie's ancestors ran a blacksmiths business.
The changeover from horses to horsepower came in 1929. Two years previously Robert McCreadie, Ian McCreadie's grandfather, a skilled engineer, had lost his right arm in a motorcycle accident. Faced with the difficulties of a handicapped person finding employment in the 1920s, Robert McCreadie turned his skills to the maintenance and sale of the new horse-less carriages and started in the motor trade.
In the early days McCreadie's dealt in cars from all over the world, Model T Fords from America, Bonnards from France and many of the old names like Galloways and Arrol Johnsons manufactured locally at Heathhall, Dumfries.
The firm progressed, carried on through the war years and by the time the present managing director was born had become a trusted family business.
The firm continued to thrive on the ethos of providing a service where the Customer Comes First, and was appointed to represent Volkswagen and Audi in Wigtownshire in 1986.
Today as Volkswagen Group specialists with over 30 years of Volkswagen experience, McCreadie's continue to offer the very best in customer service and look forward to continuing to do so well into the 21st century.

Land grabbing, murder: Assam ex-DGP Khagen Sharma, wife in soup
Gauhati High Court asks state govt to hand over 9-year-old case to CBI; orders probe into alleged nexus between the top cop and land mafia
by EastMojo News Bureau June 7, 2019 Updated June 13, 2021

Guwahati: Former Assam director general of police (DGP) Khagen Sharma, and his wife, Bandana Sharma, are in deep trouble again after the Gauhati High Court (HC) asked the state government to hand over a nine-year-old case relating to land grabbing and murder to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The HC order came following a writ petition filed in 2010, where it was alleged that a plot of land, owned by the petitioners, was sold to Bandana Sharma by fraudulent means.
Terming the police investigation into the case "unfair, partial and unethical", the HC took strong exception to the development. "The land grabbers were exercising pressure with the help of police to vacate the property," the petitioners alleged, adding: "The incident took place in 2009 when the caretaker of the plot got threatening calls."
"Despite numerous requests to provide security, the caretaker of the plot was not given security by Assam Police," the petitioners alleged.
The single bench judge of the High Court Justice Sanjay Kumar Medhi after a long hearing of the case (bearing no WPC 2460/2010) directed the Assam government to hand over the case to the CBI.

The court also directed assistant solicitor general of India SC Keyal and senior government advocate to transfer the necessary records of the case to the CBI within 15 days.
The writ petitioners of the case include Binod Kumar Jain, Mahavir Jain, Pradip Jain and others.
It is reported that Inder Singh Dell, caretaker of the land, which belongs to Mahavir Jain, was abducted on April 7, 2010 from his Sarabhati, Athgaon residence in Guwahati in a Maruti car and was later killed. His body was recovered from Chandrapur area of the city. Following an FIR into case at the Paltan Bazar police station, the police in its charge sheet included the name of Khagen Sharma.
This is not the first time that the former Assam DGP has been in the limelight for all wrong reasons.
According to an FIR lodged by Dulal Bora at Dispur police station in Guwahati on May 27, Khagen Sharma has been availing of all government benefits like government quarters, official vehicles, fuel, drivers and security guards, among others, even after his retirement on November 30, 2015.
"This is not alone, his wife, who is in Mumbai, is also availing of the same benefits from the government," Bora told EastMojo.
Bora further alleged that apart from other benefits, Sharma is yet to return two government generators, one at his official residence in Lakhimi Nagar, Hatigaon in Guwahati, and the other at his quarters at the Special Branch complex of Assam Police.
Sources in the state secretariat alleged that soon after his retirement, Sharma also unsuccessfully tried his luck to become the security adviser to the Assam government last year.

If you're currently searching for IT jobs, you may be wondering if IT recruiters, IT staffing companies, and hiring managers want you to have IT certifications. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct yes or no answer to this question. You may not necessarily impress technical recruiters or IT recruiting firms if you have some IT certifications, while others could be a big factor in landing a job. It's easy to get confused with the 1900 plus certifications out there, so here are some tips for obtaining the right certifications to get IT recruiting companies and hiring managers to notice you.
Firstly, start by looking at job descriptions for jobs you'd like to hold one day. Some of them will list the kinds of certifications they require or prefer. Take note of them and how often they're required or preferred.
Secondly, head over to LinkedIn and check out some groups that might be specifically catered to the jobs you'd like to hold one day. Ask people about the certifications they have—or have chosen not to get. Both are important to know. If you don't want to reach out to people directly, consider just checking out people's profiles or the group discussions. Both will probably show you a little bit about what certifications are useful and which ones are not.
Lastly, feel free to compare these notes with your IT staffing agencies. Recruiters are likely to be happy to share their experience and what they've seen. They can confirm if they've seen some of the same trends you think you've noticed in certifications. It's also a great idea to start a relationship with some IT staffing firms now, even if you're not ready to search yet. They'll remember you when you are.

"Civil War: The Untold Story" on PBS, by Denver…
"Civil War: The Untold Story" on PBS, by Denver producer, stirs debate
The battle re-enactments brought in hundreds of Civil War buffs as extras for filming.
By Joanne Ostrow | joniostrow@gmail.com |
PUBLISHED: April 3, 2014 at 12:00 pm | UPDATED: September 1, 2016 at 9:51 am
A locally produced reflection on what we don't know about the Civil War is poised for impact, having landed a notable narrator, prime spots on the national PBS slate and a bit of fringe outrage.
"Civil War: The Untold Story," by Denver-based Great Divide Pictures, stretches the old textbook notions of how and why the bloody story unfolded. Not least, the film underscores that political ramifications and deep divisions unsettled by the conflict endure to this day.
"Civil War: The Untold Story" will air locally on both public TV stations. Rocky Mountain PBS (KRMA) will carry the five-hour documentary in prime time, beginning April 10 at 9 p.m. CPT12 (KBDI) will air two episodes April 29 starting at 8 p.m., and the last three on April 30 at 7 p.m.
The narration is by "Downton Abbey's" Lady Cora, Elizabeth McGovern.
The outrage is thanks to holdouts who don't like the documentary's basic premise: that the Civil War was fought over the issue of slavery. (Certain fringe groups insist it was about "states' rights," which makes the whole secession idea prettier.)
Producer-director Chris Wheeler and senior associate producer Holly Johnson said the film has inspired hate mail from neo-Confederate groups on the radical right. The film also incorporates the relatively unknown history of the contributions of African-Americans to the conflict.
The tagline — "It's not just about who we were then, it's about who we are now" — sums up the essence of the film. The country continues to weigh the appropriate role of government, the rights of minorities, the limits of power of the very wealthiest Americans. If audiences reflexively associate the emotional gut-wrench of "12 Years a Slave" with this documentary, so much the better.
The untold aspect involves the battles in the Western campaign, which are less celebrated. If Ken Burns thoroughly covered Gettysburg and Antietam in his landmark series, Wheeler invites viewers to more thoughtfully consider Shiloh and Vicksburg.
Wheeler, who won awards for his 1993 documentary "How the West Was Lost," considers "Civil War: The Untold Story" his best work. It is certainly his most intricate, involving hundreds of Civil War buffs as extras in battle re-enactments, directed with a feature filmmaker's eye.
Believe it or not, it has been a generation since Ken Burns' "The Civil War" aired in 1990, Wheeler observed. "People need to hear the story again."

Mitsubishi hasn't introduced a new vehicle in years. That is about to change with their sporty new crossover; and when your new SUV is named Eclipse Cross, you have to do something for the total solar eclipse.
So Mitsubishi is making plans to live-stream the eclipse from a prime viewing spot, and its new Eclipse Cross will be on hand, of course. The total solar eclipse will be the first to be seen from coast to coast in 99 years, but will only be visible in a narrow band of the country. If you're not in that narrow band, and are willing to view the eclipse through a filter of marketing, Mitsubishi's live-stream might be an option worth checking out.
The automaker secured a spot in Salem, Oregon, within the "Path of Totality," the band of sky where the eclipse is expected to be visible. Mitsubishi will have three cameras on hand to capture the eclipse for the live-stream. It will also photograph the Eclipse Cross with the eclipse in the background, which should just about peg the pun meter. Mitsubishi's live-stream begins at 9 a.m. Pacific on August 21, and can be viewed on the automaker's Eclipse Cross webpage. The social media hashtag is #totaleclipsecross.
While Mitsubishi is using the natural phenomenon to promote it, the Eclipse Cross is named after a different kind of eclipse. The name is actually a reference to the old Mitsubishi Eclipse, a sporty car built from 1989 to 2011 that became a staple of the 1990s and early 2000s tuner culture, including some prominent appearances in the Fast and Furious franchise.
The Eclipse Cross shares nothing but a name with the Eclipse, which was sold as a coupe and convertible over its lifespan. Instead of emphasizing performance, Mitsubishi is trying to cash in on the booming SUV craze. It's admittedly a smart move for an automaker that seems to have lost its way lately. Unveiled earlier this year at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the Eclipse Cross won't hit U.S. showrooms for a few more months at least.
One big selling point for the Eclipse Cross is its standard all-wheel drive. Mitsubishi describes this as Super All-Wheel Control, the same name given to the clever torque-tweaking system it offered on the Lancer Evolution X. But the two systems are entirely unrelated: The Eclipse Cross's is part-time with a clutch on the rear axle, and it can divert up to 45 percent of available torque rearward when slip is detected at the primary drive axle, which is the front one.
There will only be one engine and one transmission available. A turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline inline-four, and a CVT with 8 gears that can be manually shifted. Other markets will have a diesel option, but that won't make it to the States.
The novel element is a liftgate with two separate glass parts, allowing a raked roofline without encroaching on rear-seat practicality. This makes for a rear aspect reminiscent of the Toyota Prius or—less flatteringly—the Pontiac Aztek. Although it looks as if visibility should be compromised, actual vision through the rearview mirror is barely diminished from what you'd find with a one-piece rear window.

Mujahid Asari-Dokubo
'God is angry' with Northern Nigeria- Dokubo Asari
byNicholas Ibekwe
Ex-Niger Delta militant, Dokubo Asari, has blamed northern elites for the Boko Haram insurgency and 'backwardness' of the region.
In an exclusive interview with Rariya Newspaper, Mr. Asari said northerners should pray for forgiveness because they are facing the wrath of God.
"For how many years the ruling oligarchy of the north has been encouraging oppression? The people of the north are poor, they did not benefit from the years of criminal, immoral ravaging of the lands of Ogonis, Ijaws, Urhobos, Itsekiris and others. The people are watching. They are going to Dubai, London and everywhere to buy house. They are sending their children abroad. They forgot God. They forgot that there are so many children roaming the street. All these things, one day a Daniel will come to judgement. And that is it, it has come to judgement, and the people are confronting them," he said.
"What is happening in the north is the north creates a monster, and the monster is consuming them. God is angry with the north. Let them cry to Allah for forgiveness."
Mr. Asari said it would be difficult for a Northerner to win the 2015 presidential election as the fear of Boko Haram will prevent people in the region from coming out to vote on election day.
An Ijaw sovereign state
Mr. Asari who traced the struggle of the people of the Niger Delta to the Battle of Akasa between the British and the people of Nimbe Brass, said he is not interested in resource control for the people of the Niger Delta but for an independent Ijaw State.
"For me as an individual, I'm not involved in resources control. I believe first in what Kwame Nkrumah said: ''seek ye first the political kingdom, and all other things will be added to you.'' What I believe in is an independence of my people.
"Yes, my position is quite different from what others are fighting for. My position is an independent nation. It is an undeniable right of our people to fight for the independence of our country, which has not been extinguished because we signed a protracted treaty with Britain. We did not surrender our sovereignty to Britain to be colonised. So as far as those treaties are the 1914 amalgamation of Nigeria is illegal, null and void. So also the declaration of independence in 1960 and also the declaration of Nigeria in 1966 as a republic are also illegal," he said.
I only care about Ijaws
The former militant who only recently criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for running an inept government said he only cares about the Ijaw people and by relation, the Igbo and other ethnic groups of the Niger Delta.
"I have always said that, I'm fighting for the independence of my people, the Ijaw people. I don't have any feeling than the feeling of an Ijaw man. That is the truth. And the feelings of the wellbeing of Niger Delta and Igbo people, because I share blood with Igbo. I'm an Ijaw, an Igbo and a Niger Deltan. I don't have any feeling with any other people."
He said he has not ceased his fight for a sovereign Ijaw State but is only on "sabbatical" as it is inappropriate to fight with one's brother (a reference to Mr. Jonathan who is from the Ijaw ethnic group as well).
He also claimed that he was not part of the amnesty deal the federal government signed with the Niger Delta militants, saying "I will not use my hand to trade away my freedom."
Dialogue with Boko Haram
Mr. Asari, who claimed he spent time in prison with some leaders of the Islamist sect, Boko Haram, said the only way out of the insurgency is through dialogue.
"From the very beginning I was one of those people who asked the government to dialogue with them. I was in prison with some of them. I was with Mohammed Ashafa at Kuje prison; I was in SSS underground prison with Mohammed Isa, Hussain and Yusuf, Murtada and others. Late Mohammed Yusuf left SSS underground prison few days before I was put in there. Dialogue is the only solution. As far as I'm concerned, both government and Boko Haram cannot win this war. The bloodshed should be stopped. It will not remove anything from the part of government of President Jonathan to dialogue with this people," he said.

Avs rookie Rendulic out at least eight weeks with broken leg
By Mike HalfordJan 16, 2015, 4:23 PM EST
On Friday, Colorado announced that rookie forward Borna Rendulic broke his leg in last night's win over Florida, and would miss at least the next eight weeks as a result.
Rendulic, the first Croatian-born player in NHL history, has one goal and two points through 11 games this year. The 22-year-old began his season in AHL Lake Erie — where he had eight points in 26 games — and earned his call-up to the Avs in early December.
Rendulic impressed Roy in his limited time with the Avs.
"I was very happy with Rendulic," Roy told the Denver Post in early January after promoting the rookie to Colorado's second line. "I liked his speed and size."


This page contains HTML textbox code. This code can be copy/pasted into your own website or blog.
In HTML, you create a textbox by using the <textarea> element. This element creates a multiline text input field (i.e. one that spans over multiple lines).
You can specify how many columns and how many rows should be visible without the need to scroll. To do this, you need to use the cols and rows attributes.
The <textarea> element also accepts a name attribute. This name can be referred to within any script that processes the contents of the textbox.
This textbox has been given a name of "myTextBox". This can be used by any script that process the contents of this textbox (once it's been submitted to the server).
In HTML, textboxes are usually displayed as one of many elements within a form. HTML forms usually have a "Submit" button (along with type="submit"). When the user clicks the "Submit" button, the form is submitted to its "action" page (which is specified using the action attribute). It's this "action" page that is responsible for processing the contents of the form.
In our example below, the "action" page simply displays back the contents of the form. It is able to do this by checking the contents of the url.myTextBox parameter (which is passed to the action page when the user submits the form).
You can also change the textbox color and create a textbox border.
