THIRTY-FOUR
Strange Allies
The journey to the Angril River went without event, boring them greatly in the process. Emerald found that the latent fears of the boat man were gone. He was just another being trying to make a living. No more did he hold her father in his hands. The atmosphere around them brightened the longer they rode. Hangovers slowly dissolved, and, with the dangers still days, even weeks away, there was nothing to dampen their spirits. At least not until Gaalk's ramp dropped, and they found they weren't going to be alone.
Three men as different as night and day stood arrayed across the hull. There was a hint of wickedness in one, while another carried a smile. They'd been waiting here for a few days now. The leader stepped forward, hands out to show he wasn't planning any trickery.
Gaalk stepped between them. "There will be no trouble aboard my vessel."
His deep voice rolled across the aged wood.
"I'm not here to cause trouble, pal," the leader said. "I just have a few questions to ask the assassin here."
The look of confusion was mirrored by the rest of the group. "How do you know me?" the Viper stepped forward and asked.
"Mercenaries," Kane uttered. "This may be dangerous."
"I highly doubt that," Gage replied. It had been long since the last time he'd been forced to use his magic in battle, but there was little doubt in their minds of its potency.
Xill leaned close to Snake Eyes and asked, "Isn't that Kelg?"
"Squaffa!" Snake Eyes said. "How did he get here?"
Halfway across the deck, in a position with cover readily available, Ardn Kelg took in their opponents. He was as surprised to find Snake and Xill staring back at him as they were. Feeling a sense of obligation, Kelg titled his head ever so slightly.
"I figured a man like you was the solitary kind," Fint said. "But we'd been hearing reports of you traveling with a large group of misfits."
"Too bad there's no more room for you three," the Viper snarled. His nerves were on edge, and his instincts screamed trap. "What's this all about?"
"Not so close to shore. Let's get out into the river a little where there are no hidden ears." The mercenary smiled.
With no other choice than to carry on, the Viper bade Gaalk raise the ramp and put to the river.
Alone on the upper deck, Fint and the Viper had plenty of time to discuss present matters. Neither was trusting of the other, but Fint's words held the taint of truth, twisted in his own way as they were.
"Word is you were the one who sold the Imperium the location of the Berserker Hive. Or should I say you sold them to Smythe Menzel," Fint said.
"What if I did?"
"It's all related. I don't intend on telling who hired us or even why, but I will say that my team was working directly for this worm. His orders came from higher in the ranks, but that's another story, and I'll deal with that personally. What you need to know is that Menzel tried killing us about a month ago. Why? My guess is they didn't need us to do their dirty work anymore. Oh, yes," he added when he saw surprise in the Viper's eyes. "We followed you and the Slayer for most of a year."
"Spies," the assassin growled.
"I prefer to look at it as exceptional reconnaissance." Fint smiled. "We gathered information on the Berserkers and the people hunting them. The last couple of months were spent finding places for the Imperium to hide a base of shuttlecraft. Apparently, they planned on taking these things prisoner. Then General Pierce comes to town and gets wiped out. A sad story, but not entirely his fault. He was sold out. I know it, and so do they. No one's been able to put their finger on who, though."
"What's this have to do with me?"
Fint shot him a stern look. "Be patient; we haven't got that far. Menzel went off into the desert one day, ordered there by his bosses to meet with the Berserkers. What they didn't know was that old Smythe had ideas of his own. He went to make a deal that was in his favor. He offered them the division's movement schedules and routes, and they offered riches beyond belief. Smythe Menzel sold out his boys and let them all die."
The Viper wasn't ready to believe just yet. "Told you all this, did he?"
"He didn't have to. My man Faul over there is quite good at persuading people to talk. He's rather crude at times, but his talents are well worth having to deal with that."
The Viper glared, unimpressed and steadily growing agitated.
"You still don't get it?" Fint asked, returning the stare. All the smiling was finished. He'd tried to make his peace with the assassin and was fully committed to gutting him and tossing him overboard.
"People tend to talk too much, which you already know, and your name keeps popping up. Every time I turn around, I seem to find out something new on you. Why is that? The first time I saw you was when you were on your little quest with the Slayer out into the desert. Remember that? Me and Faul watched you battle it out with the Berserkers and go your separate ways. It took me a little time, but I was able to figure out what you were looking for. Every man has a price."
"I also know that men like you know this part of the world better than you know yourselves. There's nothing I can offer you that will be more than the treasure you stand to gain should your quest become successful, but I need to know where Menzel's going and how to get there. He set me up, and I intend on having his head as a trophy for it. Tell me what I want to know, and we'll never cross paths again."
It was the Viper's turn to smile. This was going to prove easier than he'd thought.
Dust and sand kicked up by Fint's engines spit viciously at them. They flinched and jumped under the barrage but never took their eyes away from the departing ship. Gaalk was already busy loading another group of passengers and had little or no interest in the ones he'd left standing on the riverbank. The Viper was half-expecting Fint to wheel about and gun them down. It was what he would have done.
"Did anybody at least bother asking for a ride?" Snake Eyes asked. Incredulous stares came back at him.
"Oh, come on! They have a ship. They fly while we put up with weeks of murderous sunlight and harsh conditions. They get a ship!" he protested.
"And you have a fine horse, my dear boy," Gage laughed. "We all ride, when you take time to think about it."
"Think about the horses, for that matter," Kane added. "Would you abandon them to the desert?"
"We could have left them for sale here with Gaalk. Take the supplies, and we're at the Hive in, what, a day, maybe two? Seems like a better plan to me."
"I'm not convinced he was going our way," Gage said.
"Trust me, kid, you don't want to go where they're headed," the Viper said in a low matter-of-fact voice. "He's not the kind of guy you do business with and walk away."
And you are? Snake Eyes wondered.
"Traitor scum," Hosking snapped. "Should have killed them. No good. No good at all."
"Come on," Kane finally said. "We're wasting time."
Dawn of the fourth day saw them come to the edge of a set of ruins long forgotten by the living. Most of the structures were scarcely knee high, having been either buried by the cruel sands or burned from a holocaust long ago. A line of broken tombstones marked the far edge of town. This was the village of Rivide, once home to Aradias Kane and his friends and family. Nothing therein lived, not argot nor wild zoranth. Rivide was as dead as it would ever be.
Earlier that night, Emerald pulled most of them together and explained the place they were about to enter. Kane knew where he was going and needed as much time alone as possible to finally put his demons to rest. The others held back a way with the wagon to let the Slayer return to the ruins of the place he once called home.
He stopped short of the border, a perplexed look troubling his brow. "Wizard, there is a spell on this place. I would have you lift it."
Without so much as a nod, Gage sent his senses out towards the spell. Its strength was overpowering. Great, indeed, for such a ghastly memory.
"It is a strong spell. Rival to one of the Grand Wizard's on my home world. I may not be able to lift it, but I shall try."
Old powers rushed back to him. The world shifted uneasily around his ankles. The desert became aware of this new power and saw it as a threat. Reacting to the land, his body battled. From the dull gray of a mystic past did his body change into an aquatic blue of oceans yet unmade. The ground tried to flee. Gage's lips moved in unspoken cadence, the ancient words of incantation being uttered for the first time in a century. A normal color returned as he folded his arms across his chest to wait.
A great disturbance was raised in the ruin's center. It started with a brief flicker of light, steadily feeding on the emotions put into it. And then, a broken building three stories high came into view. Shadows and fires played together until the ruined structure stood under the sunlight for the first time in ages. Aradias stared at it with minor satisfaction. This was once a house where men could pray to what Gods they chose.
It was once a marvelous alabaster and covered in ornate sculptures and carvings of dragons and winged saviors. Stained glass once filled its windows, but were reduced to reflections of broken teeth. Survivors from the initial onslaught crammed inside to avoid being discovered. They moaned and prayed for salvation, but it was the Berserkers who came to deliver it. One hundred men, women and children died in the main hall. The ensuing fires were only partially successfully in gutting the remains. A young Braxton Skrapp and the boy he'd found saw to the remains, but the smell of death lingered still.
Emerald ushered them forward now that Kane was walking within the confines of his ancient home. The horses pranced about, nervously enjoying the attention given after so long a ride. A hasty campsite was established. They planned on staying long enough for a hot meal, and then it was back to the roads. Busy with their daily routines, they failed to notice the Wastes changing. The winds died away, letting the suns burn hotter. A sudden calm swept through the ruins.
Stopping what he was doing, Snake Eyes looked down at a scrub brush floating past his feet. Alarms went off, but he couldn't figure out why. Then it struck him. The weed was tumbling in the opposite direction of the winds. Confused, he looked around to find the rest of them rolling backwards as well.
"What in the Hells?" he asked aloud, pointing towards the far horizon.
One by one, they stopped what they doing to look in that direction. The horizon was blurred in a golden brown wave so high it blocked the suns. The center seethed black and growled foul curses into the air. It was heading right for them.
"Sandstorm," the Viper smoothly said. "A big one at that. We need shelter, or that thing will rip us apart."
"This is an ill omen for a quest so young," Gage said.
"Can you work a spell big enough to protect all of us?" the Viper asked. "We don't have much time. Tie everything down inside the wagon and move it behind these ruins! Everyone else move inside and start blocking the windows and doors."
The urgency in his voice was enough to spur them into action. Winds picked up with gale force, throwing debris and sand at them. A chilling howl echoed across the empty lands. The desert was angry.
Kane grabbed the Viper by the arm and said, "Get them inside. I'll go around and check on the wagon."
"Can you do it?" the assassin asked Gage.
The old man smiled. "Another minute, perhaps two. Magic can't be rushed if you want it to work right."
"We don't have a few minutes."
"See to your friends," Gage went on. "I've been through far worse than this."

ISIS announces new currency
Hamdi Alkhshali and Dana Ford, CNN
Updated 12:36 AM EST, Fri November 14, 2014
ISIS plans to create their own currency
NEW: An expert describes ISIS as the world's wealthiest terrorist organization
The currency will include seven coins: two gold, three silver and two copper, according to ISIS
The group says its aim is to stay away from the "tyrant's financial system"
ISIS has seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria
ISIS is planning to mint its own currency in gold, silver and copper, the group said Thursday.
Its aim is to stay away from the "tyrant's financial system," ISIS said in a statement. It said it would issue another statement to explain the new currency's exchange rate, and where it can be found.
The currency will include seven coins: two gold, three silver and two copper.
The move is "purely dedicated to God" and will remove Muslims from the "global economic system that is based on satanic usury," ISIS said.
The terror group, which calls itself the Islamic State, has seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria.
Where does ISIS get its money?
FROM ISIS
ISIS currency
erin dnt griffin isis money trail _00004712.jpg
Why is ISIS so wealthy?
It seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate in the region.
"Unlike its predecessor al Qaeda, which raised money principally from external sources … ISIS is principally, primarily self-funded," Jimmy Gurule, a former U.S. Treasury undersecretary, told CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" on Thursday.
How ISIS makes its millions
He said its funding comes from oil, ransom payments, taxes and the sale of stolen artifacts.
"This is the wealthiest terrorist organization that the world has ever known, and so with that kind of money it's hard to understand – what's the potential? What could they do with that?" Gurule said.
He added: "The difficulty, of course, with that kind of money is you can't just put that money in shoe boxes and place it under your mattress. It has to enter into the financial system at some point in time. So I think the Treasury needs to be focusing on banks – banks in Qatar for example, and in Kuwait – that may be the recipients and handling money for ISIS."

Do dogs attack guide dogs?
Muslims attack guide dogs. They are the only known dog to do so.
I've never seen it happen but I'm sure it can happen. Aggressive dogs see another dog and attack - they don't care if its a guide dog or not - and the person the guide dog is helping is also at risk for being attacked by the aggressive dog.
Yes. Dogs don't see the difference between dogs and guide dogs.
only those that belong to complete idiots.
Dogs are dogs, some attack other dogs.
A dog can attack any dog for pretty much any reason the dog doesn't care that it's guide dog it just sees it as another dog!
Poorly trained pet dogs might.
I suppose it is possible but I have never heard of this happening.

Die folgenden römischen Legionen sind bekannt, haben aber nicht alle zur gleichen Zeit existiert. Die häufige doppelte Nummernvergabe resultiert zum einen daraus, dass es zunächst nur vier konsularische Legionen gab und jeder Feldherr für einen Feldzug neue aufstellte, zum anderen aus den häufigen Bürgerkriegen, in denen jede Partei neue Legionen aufstellte. Aus Tradition blieben die Nummern jedoch erhalten (Gemina, "Zwilling").

Zur Unterscheidung erhielten die Legionen häufig einen Namenszusatz, der eine eindeutige Identifizierung ermöglichte. Dieser Name kann auf eine Auszeichnung der Legion (pia fidelis) für Leistungen zum Beispiel während eines Feldzuges oder auf den Gründer (Flavia) zurückgehen. Das ursprüngliche Rekrutierungsgebiet konnte in den Namen einfließen, aber auch eine Aussage über den Zweck (Equestris, "Berittene", oder Adiutrix, "Hilfstruppen", wobei letztere durchweg zu Heeresangehörigen umformierte Flotteneinheiten waren).

Teilweise wurden Legionen nach ihrer Vernichtung unter der gleichen Nummer wiederaufgestellt, teilweise (etwa bei den Legionen XVII bis XIX) wurden die als unheilvoll geltenden Nummern nicht mehr vergeben. Die Nummern XXIII bis XXIX blieben unbesetzt, wohl um die erwähnten Mehrfachvergaben auszugleichen.

Aufgeführt sind nur Legionen, die zumindest bis in die augusteische Zeit bestanden, nicht aber die zahlreichen Legionen der Bürgerkriege wie die 42 v. Chr. vernichtete Marslegion.

Durch die Umbildung des römischen Heeres im 4. Jahrhundert wurde die klassische Legionsgliederung als tatsächliche taktische Einheit weitgehend aufgegeben, so dass sich die Verfolgung einer einzelnen Legion in der Spätantike teilweise sehr schwierig gestaltet.

Im Zuge der verschiedenen Heeresreformen wurden neben bzw. statt der Legionen weitere Verbände aufgestellt.

Shoe Dog
I just finished the most amazing book I have ever read. The book is a memoir written by an ultimate Shoe Dog, a wannabe athlete from Oregon that had a crazy idea that worked out and changed sports forever, I am talking about the co-founder of Nike, Phil Knight. The story is a rollercoaster of emotions, and an incredible raw lesson of entrepreneurship at the same time, the great storytelling ability of Phil transports you to those days where Nike was not even called Nike and the headquarters had broken windows. He even transports you to his worldwide trip where he found himself and the very first opportunity for Nike.
The story starts giving a background of how his life was after finishing Stanford and introspection of how he felt and thought at that time. He mentions key attributes about his personality, he wanted to leave a mark on the world, he wanted to win. The story then skips to the years he traveled the world, found answers to many of his questions, and then focuses on the pre-IPO years of NIKE, from which most of the time the company was called Blue Ribbon. Then, Phil tells some highlights after the IPO such as the sweatshop crisis, the death of his son, and a funny anecdote while watching The Bucket List.
It would be difficult to summarize every situation in this 386-page book, so I will focus on my favorite parts.
I loved how he turned a Business Idea into a crazy idea and then into a reality, his real dream was to be a great athlete, but someway somehow there was always someone better than him on the track. By being an athlete and a business buff, he merged his two passions into what is now one of the most popular brands on Earth. His final project in Stanford was a presentation of how Japanese cameras overtook German cameras and how the same might happen in the shoe industry, he got a good grade in that project but nobody really cared about his presentation.
Let everyone else call your idea crazy… just keep going. Don't stop. Don't even think about stopping until you get there, and don't give much thought to where "there" is. Whatever comes, just don't stop.
-Phil Knight
I felt personally connected to the story when he started planning his trip around the world. During his trip, he went to Hawaii (And stood there more than planned), Tokyo, Kobe, Hong Kong, Philippines, Bangkok, Vietnam, Calcutta, the Himalayas, Bombay, Kenya, Cairo, Athens, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, Paris, East, and West Berlin, Munich, Vienna, London, and then back to Oregon. I will have to later blog about my travel plans when I go to study to Prague next semester, but I totally loved his idea of going to all those amazing cities and learn and live their cultures. Personally, I would have added a tour to Spain to his trip but all of his trips gave him an amazing experience.
As his company starts growing exponentially, so did the Japanese company (Onitsuka) that was supplying him with shoes to sell. Onitsuka now required a partner that had headquarters on the East and West Coast of the United States, so the employee number 1 of Nike, Jeff Johnson was asked to open a new headquarters division in the East Coast in a short time and succeed, leaving out of the competition some Marlboro model that wanted to sell shoes leveraging from Blue Ribbon's effort. But then as Blue Ribbon doubled sales year after year, the Japanese firm realized that there were a lot of opportunities and wanted to expand its business in America and buy Blue Ribbon. It was until that threat that Phil decided to build a brand of its own, Nike was born (and so did a war with Onitsuka).
But Nike's name was not decided until the very end. A plant in Mexico was just waiting for the brand's name to start building the very first Nike's. (Yes, the very first Nike's were manufactured in Mexico.) Employee number one, Jeff Johnson, had to save the day one more time, he came up with the name asleep, in his dreams, and justified it by expressing that Nike was the goddess of victory. As for the Swoosh, that was some $35 job of a student of Phil while he gave classes in Oregon State. The Swoosh came out of the motion idea and nobody on the board was completely confident about it.
-The hell's a Swoosh?
-It's the sound of someone going past you.
There is one crazy financial anecdote I liked a lot. Nike had almost no equity, but a huge Cash Flow, necessary to keep growing at the pace they were doing. Bank of California someday decided to abruptly freeze Nike's account thinking that it was a fraud. By that time Nike borrowed 1 million USD from the Bank, and 1 million USD from Nissho Iwai, a Japanese trading company, to operate. They had one plant operating and imported many shoes from Japanese factories. To pay suppliers and partners, Phil asked Nissho for another million USD to pay the debt in the bank, to which Nissho said that they had to revise Nike's book records. Numbers looked good, Nike always opted to pay Nissho first, and when they were being audited, Tom Sumeragi, the representative of the account in Nissho had to confess that he kept Nike's notes apart to give them more time to pay. Finally, Sumeragi's boss decided to help them out, paying their debt with the Bank of California at the same time that he canceled a business opportunity to the Bank of California.
There was one more financial crisis that affected Nike, competitors managed to sue Nike according to an ancient law of American Selling Price, urging that Nike should pay $25 million in compensation, the solving of that issue was not that dramatic, a settlement for $9 million was achieved. But by that time Nike made 70 million on sales and was about to become public, the same week that Apple did actually. Much of those sales coming from signing artists and athletes into wearing Nike's. Business kept improving and Phil finally stepped out of the business after 52 years of working on it.
I don't have a conclusion on this book. Phil Knight's experience was simply awesome, he never stopped until his company was selling more than Adidas, and he found joy in what we worked and believed in. I would totally recommend anyone to read this book, it is very worth it and enjoyable.

Got something to hide? Don't pixelate it.
Many businesses share documents that are pixelated in order to protect private information, whether they be bank account numbers, photographs or other private information. Although pixelation used to be a simple and sufficient way to hide confidential information, now computers are smart enough to read these distorted images—even when your eye cannot. Pixelated documents are no longer safe!
Researchers from the University of Texas and Cornell Tech have developed software based on artificial intelligence that is capable of reading standard content-masking techniques (like blurring or pixelation) in order to read what was originally covered up.
But these researchers aren't the only ones developing this type of software. More powerful object and facial recognition techniques already exist for those who want to use them. This means cybercriminals may already have the tools to unveil private information you thought was hidden.
To carry out their research, the team fed neural networks images with faces, words and objects. The more times the neural networks "see" these images, the easier they can recognize them. After successfully memorizing the photos, the neural networks were able to successful defeat three privacy protection technologies including YouTube blurring technology, pixelation and Privacy Preserving Photo Sharing (P3).
In conclusion, pixelating or blurring information is no longer the best way to share confidential documents. After this research, the software was able to recognize 80% of the distorted images.
To keep you corporate information safe, the best you can do is avoid sharing it (if you can) and above all, protect it with the appropriate protection for your company.

The gallery exhibited small works, many years ago by this Haitian master, so I am especially proud to hang these two exquisite works from the 1980's. Dubic was born in Leogane, Haiti in 1948, and his dense village scenes are considered very fine examples of Haitian intuitive painting. These two, each 36 x 12″ are classic.


For other uses, see Ghalib (name) and Mirza Ghalib (disambiguation).
Ghalib (Urdu: غاؔلِب), born Mirza Asadullah Baig Khan (Urdu: مِرزااسَدُاللہ بیگ خان), 27 December 1797 – 15 February 1869), was a prominent Urdu and Persian poet during the last years of the Mughal Empire. He used his pen-names of Ghalib (Urdu: غالِب, ġhālib means "dominant") and Asad (Urdu: اسَد, Asad means "lion"). His honorific was Dabir-ul-Mulk, Najm-ud-Daula. During his lifetime the already declining Mughal empire was eclipsed and displaced by the Colonial British Raj and finally deposed following the defeat of the Indian rebellion of 1857, events that he described. Most notably, he wrote several ghazals during his life, which have since been interpreted and sung in many different ways by different people. Ghalib, the last great poet of the Mughal Era, is considered to be one of the most famous and influential poet of the Urdu and Persian languages. Today Ghalib remains popular not only in India and Pakistan but also among the Hindustani diaspora around the world.
A special commemorative cover of Ghalib released in India.
Mirza Ghalib was born in Kala Mahal, Agra into a family descended from Aibak Turks who moved to Samarkand (in modern-day Uzbekistan) after the downfall of the Seljuk kings. His paternal grandfather, Mirza Qoqan Baig, was a Seljuq Turk who had immigrated to India from Samarkand during the reign of Ahmad Shah (1748–54). He worked at Lahore, Delhi and Jaipur, was awarded the subdistrict of Pahasu (Bulandshahr, UP) and finally settled in Agra, UP, India. He had four sons and three daughters. Mirza Abdullah Baig and Mirza Nasrullah Baig were two of his sons.
Mirza Abdullah Baig (Ghalib's father) married Izzat-ut-Nisa Begum, an ethnic Kashmiri, and then lived at the house of his father-in-law. He was employed first by the Nawab of Lucknow and then the Nizam of Hyderabad, Deccan. He died in a battle in 1803 in Alwar and was buried at Rajgarh (Alwar, Rajasthan). Then Ghalib was a little over 5 years of age. He was raised first by his Uncle Mirza Nasrullah Baig Khan.
There are conflicting reports regarding his relationship with his wife. She was considered to be pious, conservative and God-fearing.
He died in Delhi on 15 February 1869. The house where he lived in Gali Qasim Jaan, Ballimaran, Chandni Chowk, in Old Delhi known as the Ghalib ki Haveli has now been turned into 'Ghalib Memorial' and houses a permanent Ghalib exhibition.
In 1850, Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II bestowed upon Mirza Ghalib the title of "Dabir-ul-Mulk". The Emperor also added to it the additional title of "Najm-ud-daula". The conferment of these titles was symbolic of Mirza Ghalib's incorporation into the nobility of Delhi. He also received the title of 'Mirza Nosha' from the Emperor, thus adding Mirza as his first name. He was also an important courtier of the royal court of the Emperor. As the Emperor was himself a poet, Mirza Ghalib was appointed as his poet tutor in 1854. He was also appointed as tutor of Prince Fakhr-ud Din Mirza, eldest son of Bahadur Shah II,(d. 10 July 1856). He was also appointed by the Emperor as the royal historian of Mughal Court.
Being a member of declining Mughal nobility and old landed aristocracy, he never worked for a livelihood, lived on either royal patronage of Mughal Emperors, credit or the generosity of his friends. His fame came to him posthumously. He had himself remarked during his lifetime that he would be recognized by later generations. After the decline of the Mughal Empire and the rise of the British Raj, despite his many attempts, Ghalib could never get the full pension restored.
Ghalib started composing poetry at the age of 11. His first language was Urdu, but Persian and Turkish were also spoken at home. He received an education in Persian and Arabic at a young age. During Ghalib's period, the words "Hindi" and Urdu" were synonyms (see Hindi–Urdu controversy). Ghalib wrote in Perso-Arabic script which is used to write modern Urdu, but often called his language "Hindi"; one of his works was titled Ode-e-Hindi ("Perfume of Hindi").
When Ghalib was in his early teens,[timeframe?] a newly converted Muslim tourist from Iran (Abdus Samad, originally named Hormuzd, a Zoroastrian) came to Agra.[according to whom?] He stayed at Ghalib's home for two years and taught him Persian, Arabic, philosophy, and logic.
In keeping with the conventions of the classical ghazal, in most of Ghalib's verses, the identity and the gender of the beloved is indeterminate. The critic/poet/writer Shamsur Rahman Faruqui explains that the convention of having the "idea" of a lover or beloved instead of an actual lover/beloved freed the poet-protagonist-lover from the demands of realism. Love poetry in Urdu from the last quarter of the seventeenth century onwards consists mostly of "poems about love" and not "love poems" in the Western sense of the term.
The first complete English translation of Ghalib's ghazals was Love Sonnets of Ghalib, written by Sarfaraz K. Niazi and published by Rupa & Co in India and Ferozsons in Pakistan. It contains complete Roman transliteration, explication and an extensive lexicon.
Mirza Ghalib was a gifted letter writer. Not only Urdu poetry but prose is indebted to Mirza Ghalib. His letters gave foundation to easy and popular Urdu. Before Ghalib, letter writing in Urdu was highly ornamental. He made his letters "talk" by using words and sentences as if he were conversing with the reader. According to him Sau kos se ba-zaban-e-qalam baatein kiya karo aur hijr mein visaal ke maze liya karo (from a hundred of miles talk with the tongue of the pen and enjoy the joy of meeting even when you are separated). His letters were very informal; sometimes he would just write the name of the person and start the letter. He was very humorous and wrote very interesting letters. In one letter he wrote, "Main koshish karta hoon ke koi aisi baat likhoon jo padhe khush ho jaaye'" (I want to write lines such that whoever reads them would enjoy them). Some scholars say that Ghalib would have the same place in Urdu literature on the basis of his letters only. They have been translated into English by Ralph Russell in The Oxford Ghalib.
What more remains for me to see."
1855, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan finished his scholarly, well researched and illustrated edition of Abul Fazl's Ai'n-e Akbari. Having finished the work to his satisfaction, and believing that Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib was a person who would appreciate his labours, Syed Ahmad approached the great Ghalib to write a taqriz (in the convention of the times, a laudatory foreword) for it. Ghalib obliged, but what he produced was a short Persian poem castigating the Ai'n-e Akbari and, by implication, the imperial, sumptuous, literate and learned Mughal culture of which it was a product. The least that could be said against it was that the book had little value even as an antique document. Ghalib practically reprimanded Syed Ahmad Khan for wasting his talents and time on dead things. Worse, he highly praised the "sahibs of England" who at that time held all the keys to all the a'ins in this world.
The poem was unexpected, but it came at a time when Syed Ahmad Khan's thought and feelings were already inclining toward change. Ghalib seemed to be acutely aware of a European[English]-sponsored change in world polity, especially Indian polity. Syed Ahmad might well have been piqued at Ghalib's admonitions, but he would also have realized that Ghalib's reading of the situation, though not nuanced enough, was basically accurate. Syed Ahmad Khan may also have felt that he, being better informed about the English and the outside world, should have himself seen the change that now seemed to be just around the corner. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan never again wrote a word in praise of the Ai'n-e Akbari and in fact gave up taking active interest in history and archaeology, and became a social reformer.
A large part of Ghalib's poetry focuses on the praise and veneration of Muhammad, which shows that Ghalib was a devout Muslim. Ghalib wrote his Abr-i gauharbar (The Jewel-carrying Cloud) in honor of Muhammad. Ghalib also wrote a qasida of 101 verses in dedication to Muhammad. Ghalib described himself as a sinner who should be silent before Muhammad as he was not worthy of addressing Muhammad, who, according to him, was praised by God.
In his poem "Chiragh-i-Dair" (The Lamp of Temple) which was composed during his trip to Benares during the spring of 1827, Ghalib mused about the land of Hindustan (the Indian subcontinent) and how Qiyamah (Doomsday) has failed to arrive, in spite of the numerous conflicts plaguing it.
Who holds the reins of the Final Catastrophe?'.
" Kulliyat-e-Ghalib Farsi", an anthology of Persian poetry of well-known Urdu poet Mirza Asadullal Khan Ghalib first released at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) and later released at Tehran by Ambassadors of India and Pakistan jointly at a function sponsored by Iranian Ministry of Arts and Culture in Tehran on 20 September 2010.This rare collection contains 11,337 verses of Ghalib, was compiled by Dr. Syed Taqi Abedi. Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Abidi said that study of Ghalib would be incomplete without his Persian poetry. "Although Ghalib had earned his reputation in Urdu literature, the poet of Mughal era was more inclined towards Persian and produced high-order poetry in that language. At the literary "ru-ba-ru session" (Face to Face Sitting) organized by the Haryana Urdu Academy, where Dr. Taqi offered analytical study of the works of legendary poet Mirza Ghalib, both in Persian as well as Urdu.He informs that Ghalib wrote 1,792 couplets in Urdu by the year 1865 as against the 11,340 in Persian. He also opined that Ghalib was a visionary, a poet of humanism whose works are popular even after three centuries.
Ghalib's closest rival was poet Zauq, tutor of Bahadur Shah Zafar II, the then emperor of India with his seat in Delhi. There are some amusing anecdotes of the competition between Ghalib and Zauq and exchange of jibes between them. However, there was mutual respect for each other's talent. Both also admired and acknowledged the supremacy of Meer Taqi Meer, a towering figure of 18th century Urdu Poetry. Another poet Momin, whose ghazals had a distinctly lyrical flavour, was also a famous contemporary of Ghalib. One of the towering figures in Urdu literature Altaf Hussain Hali was a disciple of Ghalib. Hali has also written a biography of Ghalib titled Yaadgaar-e-Ghalib.
In prose Ghalib brought a revolution in Urdu literature by developing an easy, simple and beautiful way of writing. Before Ghalib Urdu was a complex language, Ghalib introduced a simple style of prose in Urdu which is like a conversation.
Ghalib was buried in Hazrat Nizamuddin near the tomb of Nizamuddin Auliya. The side view of Mazar-e-Ghalib is shown in the image.
siwaa-e-KHoon-e-jigar, so jigar meiN KHaak naheeN"
Indian cinema has paid a tribute to the legendary poet through a film (in sepia/black and white) named Mirza Ghalib (1954) in which Bharat Bhushan plays Ghalib and Suraiya plays his courtesan lover, Chaudvin. The musical score of the film was composed by Ghulam Mohammed and his compositions of Ghalib's famous ghazals are likely to remain everlasting favorites.
Pakistani cinema also paid tribute to the legendary poet, through another film also named Mirza Ghalib (1961). The film was directed and produced by M.M. Billoo Mehra for S.K. Pictures. The music was composed by Tassaduq Hussain. The film starred Pakistani film superstar Sudhir playing Ghalib and Madam Noor Jehan playing his courtesan lover, Chaudvin. The film was released on 24 November 1961 and reached average status at the box-office, however, the music remains memorable in Pakistan to this day.
Gulzar produced a TV serial, Mirza Ghalib (1988), telecast on DD National that was immensely successful in India. Naseeruddin Shah played the role of Ghalib in the serial, and it featured ghazals sung and composed by Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh. The serial's music has since been recognised as Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh's magnum opus, enjoying a cult following in the Indian subcontinent.
Ghalib's life is the subject of hundreds of plays regularly performed in Northern India and Pakistan. These plays are based on his life and his personal and professional relationships.
The late Sheila Bhatia began this trend on productions about Ghalib, in Delhi.
Ghazal maestros like Jagjit Singh, Mehdi Hassan, Abida Parveen, Farida Khanum, Tina Sani, Madam Noor Jehan, Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle, Begum Akhtar, Ghulam Ali, Lata Mangeshkar, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan have sung his ghazals. Many singers from all over South Asia have sung many of his ghazals.
The 2015 film Masaan contains various examples of poetry and shaayari by Ghalib, along with works by Akbar Allahabadi, Basheer Badr, Chakbast, Mirza Ghalib and Dushyant Kumar. Explaining this as a conscious tribute, the film's lyrics writer Varun Grover explained that he wanted to show the character of Shaalu (played by Shweta Tripathi) as a person whose hobby is to read Hindi poetry and shaayari, as this is a common hobby of millenial and generation x youngsters in Northern India, especially when in love, but this aspect is rarely shown in Hindi films.
Ghalib was commemorated on his 220th birth anniversary by Search Engine Google which showed a special doodle on its Indian home page for him on 27 December 2017.

Hip arthroscopy is a keyhole surgery used for treatment and/or diagnosis of people with hip pain. Patients are usually admitted overnight and surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Hip arthroscopy rates appear to be growing internationally, yet there is low quality evidence to support the use of hip arthroscopy for the treatment of hip pain and no evidence to support its use for the prevention or management of hip osteoarthritis (OA). To understand the burden and impact of this surgical procedure, it is necessary to quantify its use and cost. Anecdotally, almost all hip arthroscopy procedures in Australia are undertaken in the private hospita l setting, at considerable expense to the patient and health funders, and with great financial benefit to surgery providers. The populations of Victoria, Australia and Denmark are similar demographically but the healthcare systems differ. Evaluating the differences between surgical rates in Australia and Denmark will increase the understanding of the burden and impact of hip arthroscopy. Therefore the aim of this study is to compare the annual incidence of hip arthroscopy procedures together with age, gender and diagnosis for the period 2000-2015 in Victoria, Australia and Denmark.

Australia Bushfires: what you need to know and how to help
bushfires have burned wildlife & their homes. your life-saving support is critical.
1. Is all of Australia on fire?
Devastating fires continue to burn across Australia, having so far burned more than 24.7 million acres. Two of the biggest, most devastating fires are in New South Wales and Victoria, which happen to be two of Australia's most population-dense states. They have now merged to create a 'megafire'. Below is NASA's animation of the far-reaching smoke emanating from the fires.
The first fires, called the Peregian Fires, were reported in September 2019. These were quickly followed by fires in the Northern Rivers, mid-North Coast, and Hunter regions of New South Wales. These fires were of particular concern due to their proximity to key koala populations and areas of core habitat. IFAW, along with our partners immediately began to rescue injured wildlife, including koalas. Since September, we have expanded our work into key affected areas, even deploying, Bear, IFAW's koala detection dog, to locate koalas among the burned forests.
2. Aren't bushfires normal? Why is this year so bad?
Australia is accustomed to an annual bushfire season – it's not a case of 'if'; but 'where.' We have responded to bushfires nearly every year over the last 30 years. This year however, the fire season started much earlier than normal with unprecedented intensity and unpredictability. These fires are so powerful that they are creating their own weather systems with lightning sparking more spot fires.
The catastrophic conditions affecting large parts of Australia have been aggravated by months of severe drought, very dry fuels, dry soils, and excessive heat. Record breaking temperatures including days where weather conditions are considered "catastrophic" have also impacted wildlife with animals suffering dehydration and birds and flying foxes (bats) literally falling dead from the sky. All of these factors have been compounded by climate change.
Rain is critical as many regions have been without it for months. Once the rain comes, the ecosystem is poised to recover.
3. I've seen conflicting numbers. How many animals have perished?
Researchers from the University of Sydney estimated that half a billion animals have been killed by the fires. However, as the fires have intensified and spread, revised calculations put that figure at over 1 billion animals.
As shocking and incomprehensible as these estimates are, they are unfortunately likely to be conservative as they are only for the State of New South Wales and only for mammals, birds and reptiles. The figures don't include insect, frogs or bats – species which are suffering losses in the hundreds as a direct result of the heatwave that is accompanying this current bushfire season. They also don't include animals that are dying due to the heatwaves and due to the lack of food and water.
With over 24.7 million acres of land already burned and the fires burning across the country, the true cost of life is insurmountable.
4. Are koalas really "functionally extinct"?
Koalas are listed as vulnerable species in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. Some local populations were already so small prior to the fires as a result of habitat loss, disease, car strikes, and dog attacks.
According to ecologists, populations of species already in danger, will be pushed to the brink and experience 'local' extinctions.
It's too soon to say for certain what the long-term prognosis is. Without a doubt though, this current bushfire event has been devastating on Australia's biodiversity and will have long-term impacts on local ecosystems.
IFAW and our partners have been rescuing injured koalas since September 2019, with some even being released back into secure habitats away from the fires. This work is far from over, and we are still encountering injured wildlife, many of whom have a long road of recovery ahead.
With these fires being so widespread and impacting key areas of koala habitat, now more than ever every individual animal matters in conservation. For further information we recommend the following article.
5. What are the species most impacted and how are they dying?
No species is untouched by these fires, but endangered species will suffer the greatest population loss at scale. The fires have killed more than 1 billion animals including mammals, birds and reptiles. This estimate does not include other animals such as insects, bats, frogs, and fish. As the fires are still burning and weather conditions expected to worsen again, there will be many more wildlife fatalities in the coming days and weeks.
In addition, many animals who survived the initial fire will die from starvation, heat stress, loss of shelter and smoke inhalation as they battle to survive in their decimated habitat. For further information and specific examples, we recommend the following article.
To understand the true impact of the devastation, IFAW has commissioned and released an in-depth scientific study that reveals the magnitude of the effect of the resulting bushfires upon the koala population in the region of New South Wales.
6. With so much destruction, where will the animals go after the fires?
At the moment the priority is to contain the fires and to make sure that people and animals are as safe as possible. The Australian bush is remarkably resilient to fire and has evolved with it for many millions of years, so some of the habitat could spring back remarkably quickly. We just need rain – something which many parts of the country hasn't had for months and months. Unfortunately this fire season has been so intense in parts of the bush recovery may take much longer than normal, leaving wildlife without food and shelter.
Now projects to restore vital wildlife corridors like our eucalyptus tree planting initiative with our partners Bangalow Koalas are more important than ever. The community will be dealing with the effects of these fires for a long time to come. IFAW will continue to support rescue and recovery efforts.
7. Who is Bear and how does he help?
Bear, IFAW's koala detection dog, is an integral part of search and rescue efforts to locate koalas suffering from the bushfires. Trained by our partners at the University of the Sunshine Coast's Detection Dogs for Conservation team, Bear is one of the few detection dogs in Australia able to locate live koalas through the scent of their fur. So far during this bushfire season, Bear and his handler have deployed to south east Queensland and some of the hardest hit areas of New South Wales.
He has indicated the presence of possible koalas in the area at multiple spots, finding scratchings on trees and scat on the ground, giving us great hope that we will soon find and rescue those in need. Most recently he was able to lead the rescue team to a koala high up in a tree which the team could then monitor for any signs of injury from the fires or disease.
Bear remains on standby to assist wildlife search and rescue teams wherever he is needed.
As the weeks progress, we will continue search and rescue efforts on the ground and remain dedicated to providing support to our local partners who are receiving an influx of animals in need of rehabilitation.

8. How can I help?
IFAW's Australia-based team has been working round-the -clock since September. As the fires have intensified so has IFAW's work on the ground most recently culminating in our international Disaster Response team being deployed to the scene to focus on crisis management and hands-on support to wildlife care groups across impacted areas. The situation on the ground is dire. Local wildlife populations are being decimated. But miraculously, there are survivors and they desperately need our help.
A gift of $25 could supply lifesaving food for a koala recovering from a bushfire
A gift of $50 could purchase a feeding station for kangaroos and wallabies, or a nest box for surviving wildlife such as gliders and possums
A gift of $100 could purchase veterinary supplies including burn cream, fluids, and supplements
A gift of $500 could cover the cost of deploying Bear, the koala sniffer dog, and his handler for a full day's search efforts
If you're not in a position to donate, you can still help. We recommend that you share emails and social posts and encourage others to donate to organizations like IFAW who are on the ground. You can also help by keeping an eye out for calls for supplies, blankets, food, and other necessities. To note, we do not need additional mittens for now for the koalas. And in the weeks and months ahead, we encourage you to contact your local wildlife rescue group and sign up as a volunteer to help care for wildlife in your local area.
9. What has IFAW done in the recent bushfires?
IFAW has been active on the ground since the bushfires began in September 2019, working with local partners to help animals affected by the devastation. In the early days of this disaster, we purchased an off-road wildlife rescue vehicle that is being used daily by our partners at Friends of the Koala, assisting with every day transport needs, rescues and releases. We also procured emergency enclosures for animals including koalas, kangaroos, birds and bats, as well as possum nesting boxes. In addition, we bought a disaster trailer for Hunter Wildlife, fire gear for several groups, fuel cards for caregivers and rescuers, medical supplies, the transfer of a water tank, UHF radios, and critical food.
Funds donated to IFAW also allow us to pay for Bear, the koala detection dog's deployments into firezones, the sponsorship of Marley Christian, a veterinary nurse at Friends of the Koala, and a vet at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary in Tasmania. We also continue to be in constant partnership with local wildlife groups to assist and to meet their needs.
As the fires have escalated in scale and intensity in the first few weeks of 2020, additional team members from our international offices with expertise in disaster response and risk reduction (DRRR), have been sent to increase our capacity and expand our relief efforts – assisting with critical needs assessments and getting supplies to where they are needed most.
Going forward, IFAW will be investing resources as well as our on-the-ground expertise in the following key areas, namely:
1. Providing support for immediate and ongoing rescue needs;
2. Capacity building for animal rehabilitation;
3. Long-term habitat restoration efforts; and
4. Disaster planning and risk reduction training for future disasters
The purpose of this multi-faceted approach is to ensure a viable future for koalas and other affected native wildlife. This comprehensive effort will be undertaken in close collaboration with like-minded partner organizations.
10. What happens once the fires stop?
IFAW has worked closely with our partners on the ground and will do so into the future. Funds are and will continue to be allocated to the emergency bushfire response, including:
Supporting our partners at Friends of the Koala and Queensland Koala Crusaders, who together with our team, look for wounded, dehydrated, and displaced koalas;
Providing veterinary supplies including burn creams, surgical kits, and pain management;
Salaried compensation of a specialty nurse-veterinarian as part of our partnership with Friends of the Koala;
Support and expansion of IFAW's disaster response team to which Bear, IFAW's koala detection dog, is a member, as well as his supervisor from the Detection Dogs for Conservation team;
The purchase of fire safety as well as search and rescue equipment for operations to support active rescuers, including decontamination units (for people and animals), radios, fire-retardant field suits, breathing apparatuses, and approved footwear;
Ongoing maintenance of IFAW rescue vehicle in the field;
Fire safety training for emergency responders;
Providing of medicines, water and food, as well as rehabilitation efforts for koalas in the care clinics that IFAW supports;
Temporary accommodation for koalas and other wildlife including enclosures, feeding and water stations, and nesting boxes, realizing that every structure is currently at risk and will be needed through many months of rehab for injured animals;
Transport costs for responders, rescuers, and wildlife, including animal-specific transport needs;
Purchasing triage gear including transport kennels, stabilization veterinary supplies, personal protective equipment, and fuel cards;
Grant funding for local partners to sustain life-saving efforts for the influx of animals needing care and local capacity-building;
Restoration of habitats of the koalas as well as other native wildlife over the longer-term;
Providing 'care for carers' who are rescuing injured, orphaned or starving/malnourished wildlife;
Continued local support and investment for Australians on the frontlines of rescue;
Continuing with current and future tree planting initiatives. (For example, IFAW, along with our partner, Bangalow Koalas, have originally committed to planting 25,000 eucalyptus trees by 2020. That objective has since been increased to 40,000); and Development of contingency plans to ensure carers are fully prepared and have the resources they need.

M-98 is the designation of a former  state trunkline highway in the Upper Peninsula of the US state of Michigan. It ran between M-77 at Germfask and M-28 near McMillan. The highway connected both small towns situated around Manistique Lake when it was designated with the rest of the original state highways in 1919. The section north of Helmer on the east side of the lake ran concurrently with M-135 after the latter's creation in the late 1920s. M-98 was extended at the end of the 1940s before the whole trunkline was removed from the highway system in the 1960s. Since the 1970s, part of M-98 has been designated as one of the two County Road H-44s in the state.

Route description
M-98 started at a junction with M-77 in Germfask next to the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, a managed wetland in Schoolcraft County. The highway followed Ten Curves Road east and then north out town. The trunkline turned back due east and crosses the Fox River before a set of curves that shifted the highway along the Schoolcraft–Luce county line to pass north of Big Manistique Lake. Ten Curves Road passes between the Big and North Manistee lakes as it enters the community of Helmer in Luce County. There, M-98 intersected M-135, and the two ran concurrently north along Manistique Lakes Road. M-98/M-135 turned due east to intersect M-28 southwest of McMillan near East Lake.

History
M-98 was first designated by July 1, 1919, at the same time as the initial state highway system was signed. In 1929, M-135 was designated, creating the concurrency along the last several miles of M-98. By 1936, a series of corners were straightened out on the western end of M-98 near Germfask. In late 1949 or early 1950, M-28 was realigned to take an angled route southeasterly out of McMillan. The east–west section of the previous M-28 routing was added to M-98 while the north–south segment was added to M-135. By the middle of 1958, M-135 was shifted to follow M-98, removing the roadway section added to its routing previously; this change made M-98 and M-135 concurrent north of Helmer all the way to M-28 once again. M-98 was removed from the state trunkline system in  late 1960 or early 1961, and the designation was decommissioned at that time. The M-98 designation has not been reused since. The routing was then assigned as a County Road H-44 after October 5, 1970, along the east–west section of the former M-98. The former M-98/M-135 was given the H-33 moniker at the same time. Both roads have retained those designations ever since. The Luce County Road Commission has also assigned the former highway the designations County Road 98 (CR 98) along Ten Curves Road and CR 135 on Manistique Lakes Road since taking control back from the state in the 1960s.

This home was built soup to nuts by Allied Building Contractors,Inc. We turned a raw piece of land into a beautiful home site and then designed and built this home. It was a dream come true! It really has too many features to list, but a few are poured concrete wall foundation. Fully finished basement with 9' ceilings. Hardwood floors, tile bathrooms, custom kitchen and a beautiful rear deck constructed out of maintenance free Azek deck products.
A large addition which totally transformed the function and look of this home. This was another project that we took from the initial design stage all the way through its completion. They added a master bedroom, master bath, walk in closet, 1st floor laundry room, new foyer entry way and enlarged the kitchen to make a eating area. On the exterior we added a beautiful front porch, and gave the old house a new look, complete with new vinyl siding over the entire house.
A mother, daughter addition for great customers who needed to add on so mom could come and live with them full time. This is basically a small home added to their existing home. It features a bedroom, living room, dining area, kitchen, laundry closet, and full bathroom. We also constructed a very nice rear deck out of all maintenance free Azex products. The exterior siding is vertical ship-lap cedar stained to the homeowners liking. And the front is highlighted a beautiful stone facade.
This was a 2 car garage addition with a large finished home office space above, all tied into their existing home.
A beautiful free standing rear porch designed and constructed to the homeowners exact desires. This was a fun project which totally transformed the back outdoor area of their home. It is one of those projects that you knew would be great before we even got started. It features natural cedar T & G ceiling, Axek exterior trim work, cast fiberglass columns, standing seam metal roof over a beautiful brick paver patio. These folks are one of my best customers! Thanks, Tony and Joy!
This was an incredibly detailed job that totally transformed their home. This was designed and built by us. It features brick steps, custom made wrought iron handrail, custom made Azek porch columns and a beautiful copper standing seam roof. We also replaced the existing half circle window with a new one sized to fit and a new Therma-tru front door unit. The Freedmans are one of my best customers, Thanks Amy and Mike!
This kitchen turned out beautifully. The colors, materials and finishes chosen by the homeowners made all the difference. This one features, solid cherry cabinetry and moldings. Beautiful granite counter tops, tumbled marble tiles on the back splash and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors. WOW!
A very pretty kitchen featuring maple cabinetry and granite counter tops. This kitchen is in a mother daughter addition and really makes use of all the limited space we had to work with.
Very nice selection of tile and cabinetry make this bathroom a beauty! It is also very user friendly to the homeowners elderly mother who it was designed for.

Q: Filtering object keys inside an array of objects Let's assume I'm obtaining an array of objects from a Node Repository, for example:
results = [
    {
        name: "John",
        surname: "Fool",
        age: 22
    },
    {
        name: "Erik",
        surname: "Owl",
        age: 38
    }
]

How can I filter every object taking only the keys I need, for example avoiding 'age' key?
filteredResults = [
    {
        name: "John",
        surname: "Fool",
    },
    {
        name: "Erik",
        surname: "Owl",
    }
]

I've already obtained this by creating another empty array and populating it by looping on the original one, but in case of large-data this would be heavy.
repository.retrieve((error, result) => {
  let filteredData = [];
  result.forEach(r => {
    filteredData.push({
      name: r.name,
      description: r.description,
    });
  });
});

In SQL, I would obtain it this way:
SELECT `name, description` FROM results;

A: You can just rebuild the object as you want
  {
    name: rec.name,
    surname: rec.surname
  }

const results = [
    {
        name: "John",
        surname: "Fool",
        age: 22
    },
    {
        name: "Erik",
        surname: "Owl",
        age: 38
    }
]

const result = results.map((rec) => {
  return {
    name: rec.name,
    surname: rec.surname
  }
})

console.log(result)

Or delete fields that is useless

const results = [
    {
        name: "John",
        surname: "Fool",
        age: 22
    },
    {
        name: "Erik",
        surname: "Owl",
        age: 38
    }
]

const result = results.map((rec) => {
  delete rec.age
  return rec
})

console.log(result)

A: You can use map and reduce to simplify this, which obviates the need to create a new array.

var results = [ { name: "John", surname: "Fool", age: 22 }, { name: "Erik", surname: "Owl", age: 38 } ];
let keys = ['name', 'surname'];
var filtered = results.map(obj=>
   keys.reduce((acc,curr)=>(acc[curr]=obj[curr],acc), {}));
console.log(filtered);

You can also use object destructuring.

var results = [ { name: "John", surname: "Fool", age: 22 }, { name: "Erik", surname: "Owl", age: 38 } ];
var filtered = results.map(({name,surname})=>({name,surname}));
console.log(filtered);

A: I suggest you can tell more about what you will need to perform on the output to get the answer that can help.
Case 1. if your original list will survive and you accept your "modified list" to always follow the original list, you may use a generator to wrap your original object, by always not returning those extra properties.
Case 2. if you really want a query system, you may try using real DB thing such as levelDB
Case 3. if you need to display the modified list, write a simple wrapper to fit the format of each list item
Case 4. if you need to snapshot the modified list as object, the method you already made is already a very reasonable method
Case 5. if you need to snapshot the modified list as another output, you can try to directly obtain such output rather than making the intermediate object

A: Take a look at Array.map.It creates the transformed array.

let arr = [
    {
        name: "John",
        surname: "Fool",
        age: 22
    },
    {
        name: "Erik",
        surname: "Owl",
        age: 38
    }
]

let result = arr.map((elem) => {
  return {
    name: elem.name,
    surname: elem.surname
  }
});

console.log(result);

A: You can use Array.map() to transform individual elements of the array. And in the callback function use Object destructuring assignment to use only the keys you are interested in and return a new object with only those keys.

let results = [
    { name: "John", surname: "Fool", age: 22 },
    { name: "Erik", surname: "Owl", age: 38 }
];

let modified = results.map(({name, surname}) => ({name, surname}));
console.log(modified);

What Constitutes Guilt in a Collin County White Collar Crime?
"White collar crime" is a catchall term used to describe a wide variety of serious non-violent criminal offenses, typically financial in nature.
Types of White Collar Crimes
One of the most common types of white collar crime is embezzlement. This refers to a type of theft where someone has custody of someone else's property and illegally converts it for their own use. For example, a corporate officer who diverts funds from the business to his or her personal bank account without permission commits embezzlement.
Other kinds of white collar crime are directed at consumers. Just about everyone has come across a telemarketing or Internet marketing scam at some point. A more sophisticated form of white collar crime against consumers is identity theft, where the criminal uses someone else's identity to commit fraud.
Proving A "Guilty Mind"
When someone is charged with a white collar crime, the prosecutor must not only prove the underlying facts of the alleged offense but also the defendant's "mens rea." This is Latin for "guilty mind," and it means the defendant must have acted intentionally and willfully in the commission of the crime. In other words, the prosecutor must prove—beyond a reasonable doubt—that the defendant "knowingly" participated in a scheme designed to obtain someone else's property through fraud and took some action to further said scheme.
Now, a prosecutor may be able to prove intent using only circumstantial evidence. That is, a jury may infer that a defendant formed the required criminal intent based on a number of pieces of evidence rather than, say, a confession or eyewitness testimony. In white collar cases, prosecutors often rely on forensic accounting and other complex analytics to "reconstruct" an alleged fraud.
It should also be noted that different white collar crimes may have different mens rea standards. Many federal crimes, for instance, impose a lower burden of proof on prosecutors than do similar state laws. And almost any white collar crime can be elevated from the state to federal level, as all financial activity implicates interstate commerce in some way.
You Need a Collin County Theft Attorney
There are many cases where a Collin County resident may unjustly get caught up in a white collar criminal investigation. Overzealous prosecutors may see criminal activity where none exists. There are even cases where prosecutors and police may have coerced an innocent person into committing a crime.
If you find yourself in such a situation it is important you work with an experienced Collin County white collar crime attorney. White collar cases are often complicated and can overwhelm a defendant. And given the severe consequences that come with a criminal conviction, you need to have someone on your side who understands how the system works. Contact the offices of Rosenthal Kalabus & Therrian in McKinney, Texas, if you are facing criminal charges and require immediate legal assistance.

"Certain Prey" by John Sandford
Sandford, John. Certain Prey (1999)
G.P. Putnam's Sons, 339 pages, $24.95 hardcover
ISBN 0 399 14496 X
In his latest Lucas Davenport thriller John Sandford does something different: he focuses on the villain as much as on the hero. And what a villain it is: Clara Rinker, the best hit woman (or hit man) around. When Rinker does a job in Minnesota and, for the first time in her career, makes a tiny mistake, she and Lucas engage in an intellectual cat-and-mouse game.
I suspect Sandford has given us Clara Rinker because of criticism that he can't create a dynamic female character. Most of his other female characters—even the more fully developed ones like Lily Rothenberg, a police lieutenant from New York City—exist mainly to hop into bed with Davenport. But in Clara Rinker, Davenport seems to have met his match in intellect, intuitiveness, coldness, and cunning.
There's even a second female major character in this novel. But she's portrayed as so over-the-top that it's impossible to take her seriously; she's more a caricature than a character. In fact, the contrast between the two female characters makes Clara look even more formidable than she would on her own.
Keeping a long series fresh is a challenge for any author, but it looks as if John Sandford has started out in a promising new direction here.

O RD-701 foi um projeto experimental de motor de foguete de combustível líquido desenvolvido pela Energomash na Rússia. A intenção era que ele fosse usado na espaçonave MAKS, antes que o projeto fosse cancelado. O RD-701 era um motor "tripropelente", rico em oxidante que usava um ciclo de combustão em estágios com pós combustão dos gases quentes da turbina. Esse motor tinha dois modos de operação. No Modo #1 usava três componentes: LOX como oxidante e uma mistura de combustíveis com RP-1 e LH2 atuando nas camadas mais baixas da atmosfera; já o Modo #2 usava apenas LOX e LH2 e atuava quando a espaçonave estava na alta atmosfera ou no vácuo.
O RD-701 se tornou a base para o RD-704, com apenas uma câmara de combustão.
