Iconic fashion brand, Tory Burch will soon be opening its doors at the Outlet Shoppes at El Paso this summer.
Heads up fashionistas because Tory Burch, the casual luxury global brand with more than 300 boutiques around the world is coming to El Paso this summer to the Outlet Shoppes at El Paso.
Tory Burch first launched in 2004 in New York with a small boutique in Manhattan where the designer's unique bohemian and classic aesthetic drew attention and since has become a world-wide recognized fashion brand.
The Tory Burch collection which features an assortment of handbags, footwear, jewelry, and soft accessories was inspired by the designer's parents and their stylish lifestyle surrounded by art, music, and travel. The exclusive new store will be opening later this summer and is located between Express and Rack Room at the Outlet Shoppes at El Paso.
Tory Burch is the latest fashion store to open up at the shopping center since Torrid, the women's clothing chain known for its trendy plus-size fashions opened up in mid-December of 2019.
The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso is currently open with temporary center hours due to the COVID 19 pandemic. They are currently open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Some stores may have limited hours or are offering curbside pickup. For more information visit the Outlet Shoppes at El Paso HERE.

Exclusive analysis: GB wiped the floor with EU27 countries by every type of medal tally
Aug 9, 2021·4 min read
I am loving this.
The EU might now regret trying to introduce its political ideology into a major sporting occasion
The '2020' Summer Olympics (which actually took place in 2021) ended last night. Brexit Britain emphatically took the European crown, both in terms of the IOC official ranking which counts gold medals, and in terms of the total tally of all gold, silver, and bronze medals.
Great Britain finished a superb fourth in the world in the official rankings, with 22 golds. However, given the EU's attempts to politicise this great sporting event, today I look at how Brexit Britain's achievements at the Tokyo Olympics completely dominated those of the EU27 countries.
The unofficial rankings — Total medals (gold, silver, and bronze) won by country
(Selecting only Great Britain and the EU27 countries)
4 — Great Britain
7 — Netherlands
8 — France
9 — Germany
10 — Italy
15 — Hungary
17 — Poland
18 — Czech Republic
22 — Spain
23 — Sweden
25 — Denmark
Comparing GB to the EU as if the EU were one country
Per capita, Great Britain won 3 times as many gold medals as the EU
Per capita, Great Britain won 3.3 times as many medals of all colours as the EU.
The EU's attempted politicisation of sport
Immediately prior to the start of the Tokyo Olympics, the EU Commission made efforts to have the EU flag carried at the opening ceremony by Slovenia. Slovenia was chosen because it currently holds the six-month rotating presidency of the EU Council. Quite rightly the International Olympic Committee rejected this, stating that a nation could only fly its own flag.
Undaunted, various EU politicians carried on using the Olympics to try to make political points.
On Friday (well ahead of the final medals table) the Vice President of the 'EU-UK Friendship Group', Radek Sikorski MEP, followed up with the following tweet which was then retweeted by Mr Verhofstadt
The EU is not one country — not yet, anyway
It is a simple fact that the EU is not a country. It consists of 27 countries that have chosen to cooperate under the EU umbrella on an ever-increasing number of areas of political and economic life. As things stand, all of these countries have separate identities and are all deemed to be separate nations — even at the globalist, 'borderless world' of the UN.
It is the clear intention of the Brussels elites that all 27 countries should become one, but this is still a long way off. For the time being the EU27 countries are distinct and this is how they are seen at the Olympic Games.
One aspect of all of this which Mijneer Verhofstadt and his colleagues do not appear to have considered is that Olympic rules state that a country may only enter a maximum of three athletes per event. Were the EU to compete as one country, who is going to tell the hundreds of athletes in the various EU member states who would then automatically be excluded from competing?
The above report obviously pokes a little sporting Brexit fun at the EU. We felt it acceptable to do so because of the EU's actions in politicising the grand sporting spectacle that is the Olympic Games.
Nevertheless, there is perhaps a serious point to make here.
The British public suffered an onslaught during the EU Referendum campaign (and before and since) from both the EU and the UK Remain Establishment, persuading them that the United Kingdom was too small and insignificant a country to survive on its own. Without EU membership, we were told, the 'poor little UK' would have no influence on the world stage, would collapse economically, and that Armageddon was awaiting us if we voted to leave the EU.
As we all now know, (and as all Leave voters knew at the time), this was nonsense. Brexit Britain is flourishing. Coming fourth in the World in the Olympics proved it. Perhaps that was why Goofy and his pal Radek Sikorski was so narked at how well Great Britain have done that they had to make quite foolish statements.
There's nothing wrong with a little national pride
Sport may not be the most vital issue I have covered, but for a great many people it is an important part of their lives. It also offers the opportunity to indulge in a little national pride and flag-waving — and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. For 'the little, isolated GB' to come fourth in the official Olympics results table is something to be proud of.
And to have beaten every other European country by a country mile is icing on that cake we were told we couldn't have, after so many years of hearing our country being put down. Congratulations to all our Olympians. We are all proud of you. Radek Sikorski MEP and Goofy the clown Verhofstadt not so much, in fact at a guess I think they may hate you.
Fly that flag high boys and girls

Coronavirus update: Mutant virus confirmed in Colorado, U.K. approves AstraZeneca vaccine
A Republican elected to Congress has died of COVID-19
Photo (c) 4X image - Getty Images
Coronavirus (COVID-19) tally as compiled by Johns Hopkins University. (Previous numbers in parentheses.)
Total U.S. confirmed cases: 19,551,716 (19,334,975 )
Total U.S. deaths: 339,360 (335,623)
Total global cases: 82,237,082 (81,508,329)
Total global deaths: 1,796,768 (1,779,189)
Mutant virus found in Colorado
It's here. The new strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19), which showed up first in the U.K., has been confirmed to be present in the U.S.
Specifically, the mutant virus has been found in Colorado, infecting a "male in his 20s." Significantly, officials say the patent had no recent travel history -- suggesting there are likely other cases of the virus. Officials say a co-worker of the patient may also have the variant.
"In addition to the reported case in Colorado, we expect that there will be additional cases that are likely to be detected in the coming days," a spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Health told CBS News.
U.K. health authorities approve AstraZeneca vaccine for emergency use
Health officials in the U.K. have given emergency clearance to a third coronavirus vaccine -- this one developed by AstraZeneca and researchers at Oxford University. Vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer already have the green light, which occurred about two weeks before the two vaccines won similar clearance in the U.S.
U.K. health officials say they are receiving 100 million doses of the latest vaccine, enough to vaccinate 50 million people.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the addition of the AstraZeneca vaccine will be enough to inoculate the entire population of the country when combined with the full order of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Congressman-elect dies of COVID-19
Luke Letlow, a 41-year old Republican from Louisiana, was elected to Congress in November but has died of COVID-19 complications days before he was scheduled to be sworn into office.
Letlow was admitted to a Monroe, La., hospital on Dec. 19 after testing positive for the coronavirus disease. He was later transferred to a Shreveport hospital as his condition worsened. Doctors say he did not appear to have any underlying health conditions that made him more vulnerable to the virus.
"The family appreciates the numerous prayers and support over the past days but asks for privacy during this difficult and unexpected time," a spokesman for Letlow said in a statement.
That $2,000 stimulus payment is looking doubtful
What are the chances your $600 stimulus payment from the government will get bumped up to $2,000? Both President Trump and congressional Democrats are in favor of it.
But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has played his hand, and it looks like the extra payment isn't going anywhere, at least not anytime soon. McConnell has proposed the $2,000 payment in a bill that includes two provisions that Democrats oppose. In Washington, it's called a "poison pill."
Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says Americans have already begun receiving direct deposit payments of $600 per person. He said paper checks to Americans who don't have direct deposit will start going out today.
One year ago today the world was a very different place, but it was about to change. Chinese officials reported an outbreak of a "mystery virus" in the Wuhan province.
The world watched with growing concern in January and February as China shut down its economy in an effort to control the fast-spreading virus. Then the virus ravaged Italy and finally arrived with full force in the U.S., changing nearly every aspect of daily life.
China eventually got the virus under control, and its economy is mostly reopened today. But a report from Chinese health officials this week suggested that the infection rate in Wuhan may have been 10 times what was reported at the time.
Michigan: State officials say they are working to speed up the distribution of vaccines. They report more than 70,000 Michigan residents had received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by the start of the week. However, 278,000 doses are still on the shelf.
Illinois: Officials have opened a new facility in Chicago where health care workers can receive the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. At the same time, Illinois officials are preparing to pay out new unemployment benefit funds authorized by the COVID-19 relief bill.
Arizona: U.S. customs officials say they have confiscated more than 200,000 "counterfeit" face masks in Phoenix. The Department of Homeland Security reportedly carried out a lengthy investigation culminating in the seizure of the phony N95 face masks.

Rabbi Kurtz Report From Israel
It has been another difficult week here in Israel. While our neighborhood is safe and life has basically returned to normal in our area, that is not the case in much of Israel. Rockets have been launched incessantly at Israeli population centers with the express purpose of killing as many people as possible. Thankfully we have the Iron Dome. I shudder to think what might happen, how many innocent deaths there would be, if it did not protect us. Still some rockets do get through. There were some deaths, some injuries and a good deal of property damage done by the rockets that got through this defense system. My cousin who lives in Petach Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv, sent me a picture and a video last Thursday of a rocket which fell on his neighborhood only a number of meters from his apartment. Thankfully, he and the family were warned by the siren and were in their safe room and therefore saved from certain injury or worse. The area where the rocket fell showed great destruction of cars, the street and the surrounding area.
It has been also quiet where Hadassa and family live, although our grandchildren have returned to zoom learning at home. We were there this past Shabbat and in the early afternoon as we were completing Shabbat lunch we heard a number of booms. We walked out onto their porch and witnessed in the distance the Iron Dome shooting down the rockets meant for the coastal area. We saw the white smoke in the sky and even saw an Iron Dome missiles in the air on its way to bring down the Hamas rockets.
Unfortunately, there has been loss of innocent lives on both sides. Hamas not only does not care how many Israelis are killed (the deaths include 2 foreign Thai workers, an Indian caregiver and 2 Arab citizens of Israel) but how many of their own people are killed as well. We understand that some of their rockets fall short of leaving the Gaza Strip and have killed some Palestinians by their impact. The pictures of the devastation in Gaza are not easy to watch, and one can only hope that after the current round of hostilities end the international community will monitor the aid given to the Gaza Strip Hamas administration so it can properly be used to improve the lives of the inhabitants and not be utilized for weapons of war.
Talk is now of the end of hostilities. The Israel Defense establishment claims it still needs a few days to achieve its goals. The problem is that no one really knows what that is. They have destroyed much of the armaments, research areas, rocket batteries, underground network of tunnels and killed many Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders. However, rockets are still flying out of their territory with great ferocity. There is no doubt that international pressure, including building American pressure, is beginning to have an effect on the decision makers here. I must note that Israel has been extremely pleased with the support given to her by the Biden administration. The question will be at the end of the day what the next step is. Some believe that the best Israel can do is bide some time until the next conflagration. Others are convinced that there is no military solution, a diplomatic solution is necessary. For at least some of them, there is a need to reach out to the PA administration and recognize that Hamas is an enemy of both. For others there is a need to make Hamas feel the effects of their militaristic actions and somehow convince the population of Gaza that they are being led by a group of terrorists who do not care about them. Some, though not many, even believe that Israel needs to send in ground troops and overtake the Gaza Strip. There is no easy solution.
At the same time there is ongoing concern that even after hostilities end we have entered a new era here. The riots in mixed cities have made Jewish Israelis, and some Israeli Arabs, concerned about the future of the society here and how we will be able to live together with respect for one another. The police are now present in these cities in full force and it is a little quieter now, but that is only a short term solution. The other concern is what effect this will all have on the Arab population in Jerusalem and in the West Bank. On Tuesday a general strike was called for by Hamas in these areas and there were many who followed that directive. At the same time they called for a day of violence in the West Bank and there were very serious riots in some of those areas.
I am not sure what the next few days or weeks will bring here but they may be very dramatic as the political mandate of Yair Lapid will come to an end in a couple of weeks and it does not look possible for him to put together a government. Will this skirmish make Netanyahu stronger or are we on our way to another election? All this is being discussed even as Israeli soldiers are fighting the enemy and the lives of many have been negatively affected by the fighting. Never a dull moment!!
Again I thank those who have been in touch with us concerned with our welfare.
And again some requests:
Make sure you get all the facts, don't let some of the media deal with equivalencies and harp on the great damage in Gaza (which bothers me as well) without understanding what it means to live under the constant threat of rockets that come indiscriminately and in great frequency. Don't be afraid to speak out on the issues once you have the facts. Israel is not totally blameless in all of this but no country would allow what is occurring on our soil to happen to its citizens over and over again.
Don't let supposed comedians like Trevor Noah and John Oliver get away with their soliloquies blaming Israel for everything. That goes for news commentators and newspaper editorialists as well.
Stay in touch with your Israeli friends and family members whose lives have been greatly affected by these hostilities. They need to know that you care about them.
Keep in touch with your representatives in the House and Senate and with the administration. It is your right as citizens to let them hear from you and, in fact, it is very important.
Finally, keep the State of Israel, its citizens, its soldiers, policemen and border guards in your prayers. This is not easy for them or for their families.
I pray for peace and quiet in our land and an era of peace in our region.
Bryna and I send our best wishes from Jerusalem.
Rabbi Vernon Kurtz
Just when we thought life was getting back to normal here (as normal as it can be) things changed very quickly. The pandemic seemed to have been conquered, people were returning with caution to their former lives, with some restrictions, we mourned the tragic loss of life at Meron on Lag B'Omer, and we began to concentrate on some of the normal issues of life. Now we are on a different path, one with which Israelis are too familiar, one which leads to loss of life, destruction of property, and a great deal of anxiety and dread.
The current round of violence here is due to a number of reasons. It is the confluence of many factors coming together at the same time: the threatened evictions of some Arab families in Sheikh Jarrah and its accompanying violence (about which the Supreme Court which was to make decision and eventually decided to postpone the decision), the end of Ramadan (including the long fast days and the heat here), the fences put up by the Jerusalem police near the Damascus Gate to keep young Arabs awaiting the end of the fast day from congregating there (the fences were eventually taken down), Yom Yerushalayim and the annual march which normally goes through Damascus Gate (at the last minute it was rerouted), the cancellation of elections in the PA and Hamas attempting to show its strength both to the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world as they profess to protect Jerusalem, the Arab worshippers by the 10's of thousands who congregated at the Al Aqsa Mosque with many of them bringing rocks and large boulders with them to create violence (including many who were provocateurs who came from northern Israel), Jewish provocateurs like new MK Itamar ben Gvir who set up his temporary office in Sheikh Jarrah and was thankfully convinced (some say by Netanyahu) to close it down, and the lack of an Israeli government. It is really a perfect storm.
It began with riots on the Temple Mount and spread to east Jerusalem neighborhoods. Starting last week Hamas began to send incendiary balloons over the border. On Monday an Israeli driving a car near the Old City was almost lynched. Rocks were thrown at him and luckily the police stepped in to save him. Monday night Hamas warned Israel that if it did not leave the Temple Mount and Sheikh Jarrah by 6 pm it would begin a rocket attack and it held to its word. Even in Jerusalem we had a siren which was surprising. While it didn't last for long and we have not had one since, it did frighten everyone. We have watched on TV rockets in the hundreds fall on southern Israel. Most were stopped by the Iron Dome installations, but some got through and created destruction and some deaths and injuries. Tuesday night rockets rained down on Tel Aviv and all the way up the coast to Herzilya. Hadassa and her family in Modiin had two siren alerts – one at 8 pm and one at 3 am and they had to run to their safe room. They heard the booms of the Iron Dome meeting the rockets and saw the white smoke it produced. Wednesday night at 1:30 am they had another one. All are safe. All over the south and up the coast people are spending time in their safe rooms, in shelters or are being very careful if they venture outside. Schools have canceled classes and many stayed away from work. It felt like the pandemic days again for those who could do work and school online.
The people of Israel, and especially those in the south who have endured this for years, want the IDF to continue and give them peace and quiet. The problem is there is no quick solution for it is a state fighting a terrorist organization. The latter are only interested in killing as many people as possible and creating havoc among Israelis. The Israeli leadership has asked for strength and patience from the Israeli public. At the same time the chances of putting together a government here based on support of an Arab party is now highly unlikely.
Unfortunately, there has also been a great deal of unrest in Israel proper between Arab and Jewish communities. On Tuesday night there were Arab riots in Lod where cars were torched, apartments and stores destroyed and a synagogue totally burned. The riots continued last night in many cities with mixed populations such as Lod, Ramle, Jaffa, Tiberias, Beer Sheva and Haifa and in some Arab cities in Israel. Though there was a curfew in Lod Arab and Jewish groups fought with one another. There was almost a lynching of someone who looked Arab in Bat Yam played out life on Israeli TV and Arab stores were destroyed. In Netanya the train station received a great deal of damage and the police were overwhelmed in all these cities as Arab and Jewish groups paraded through the streets. It was very difficult to watch this on Israeli TV. There is a very fine line of societal cooperation between the communities and it seemed that both in the pandemic and in politics the groups were coming together. Nobody knows what this means for the future but it is not good. It took a while for both Arab and Jewish leadership to speak out on the violence on both sides, but they finally did last night.
On a personal level, we are well and we appreciate the many people who have sent us notes to say they are thinking of us.
Two requests: Don't let the media or the general public get away with equivalency arguments. Israel is using surgical strikes to attempt to destroy the Hamas and Islamic Jihad leadership as well as their missiles and armaments. They have issued warnings to vacate buildings in Gaza before they attempt to destroy the intended targets. On the other hand, the terrorists are sending out rockets indiscriminately attempting to kill as many people in Israel as possible and it makes no difference to them whether they are Jews, Christians, Arabs or Bedouin. Secondly pray for the safety of those under attack and for a peace and quiet to reign in the region.
Stay well and healthy,

Reading Session: #3 WORK
The cyber space is a non-neutral space of constant contestation. Multiple dualisms ensue; the individual and the space, the individual and the platform and the individual with their own self-image. It becomes really important, then, to critically engage with the space, decolonize it and reclaim it. The hyper presence of the algorithm in our daily lives means our awareness and engagement need to be active as much as it is theoretical. This reading group ensures just that.
During the course of this reading group, we will look at the (in)justice which this contestation brings. Since the algorithm and its ensuing injustice are both ubiquitous, we will look at the various areas of human experience which they touch. The 10 areas detailed below grant us 10 sessions of discussion, and 10 opportunities to build a creative manifesto of the ideas discussed. The results of the discussion and the creative process will then be on display.
This reading group On Algorithmic (in)equality is initiated and curated by Abdel-Rahman Hassan, as part of the Future based platform.
Reading Session #3 WORK
"It is the work to live more colorfully, beautifully; to be the hero of your own show. Engaging in glamour labour is to work to look like, and be like, your tightly edited, selfie'd, highly-filtered image in the flesh." – Elizabeth Wissinger Professor of Sociology at City University of New York
Glamour labour helps celebrities, models and individual consumers build a personal image in everyday life and through social media. Recently, the concept of glamour labour have been extended with the idea that 'coolness' is a process by which the ever-morphing ideal seduces publics into chasing it (are you?). And with that, glamour labour has become a common aspiration, no longer the exclusive domain of the Kardashians or a selective view. But what exactly are we gaining by playing along this game of expensive marketing? And what are we possibly losing on the way? 1
The same questions go for another world wide web based trend, that has taken over the economy. How many times did you read in a blog that the largest taxi company in the world has no cars, and the biggest accommodation provider owns no real estate? Or, what to think about the most powerful tool for searching information, that doesn't own any information itself, except maybe the data trails you are leaving behind. Well hello, Airbnb, Google and Uber!
What are the downfalls in using the services of those technological matchmakers, influencers, and air-dealers? In this reading session we will explore the good, the bad and the ugly of Glamour Labor and the Platform Economy.

Coronavirus Treatment
Coronavirus comes from a vast family of viruses. These viruses can cause respiratory illness in humans and animals. Some coronaviruses are mildly severe and cause cough, whereas the other coronaviruses can cause severe illness.
The severe type of Coronaviruses include:
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus
Currently, Novel Coronavirus (COVID – 19) has been declared to be a pandemic disease. The reason behind this is its spreading across several nations around the world. It is believed that almost 204 countries have been affected by this virus. Interestingly, it is the first time that this disease has been identified in humans.
Presently, there are a total of 2,231 travellers who entered the Ahmedabad and Surat airports. All of these travellers were properly screened. There is another lot of 1,024 people that are under observation in their homes.
Talking about Gujarat, there are several suspected cases in the state right now. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 has reached our city and the overall state too. Presently the number of Coronavirus positive cases has reached 15,365 in the city, whereas the number is 22,067 in the overall state.
Ahmedabad: 15,365
Gandhinagar: 445
Vadodara: 1,434
Surat:2,365
Rajkot: 140
Kutch: 95
Until now (11th June, 08:10 PM), 1,385 of the corona patients have lost their lives in the state.
The state of Gujarat has been divided into three different zones (Red, Orange, and Green). These zones signify the condition of the city with regards to COVID-19.
The places that fall in the Red zone are Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Anand, Banas Kantha, Panch Mahals, Gandhinagar, and Aravali.
The places that fall in the Orange zone are Rajkot, Bharuch, Botad, Narmada, Chhotaudepur, Mahisagar, Mahesana, Patan, Kheda, Valsad, Doha, Kachchh, Navsari, Gir Somnath, Dang, SabarKantha, Tapi, Jamnagar, and Surendranagar.
The places that fall in the Green zone are Morbi, Amreli, Porbandar, Junagadh, and Devbhumi Dwarka.
Currently, all areas of Ahmedabad are in the Red zone, whereas these six wards have the highest number of cases (Behrampura and Danilimda in the south zone, Dariyapur, Jamalpur, Khadia, and Shahpur in the central zone).
The samples of coronavirus are being tested in BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad. Post the coronavirus outbreak, a total of 2,400 medical officers and 14,000 paramedical staff have been trained for handling such situations.
The state hospitals are equipped with 572 isolation beds, and 204 ventilators to deal with this pandemic. The state government has ensured everyone's safety by stocking enough triple-layer masks, and sanitizers to prevent citizens against the disease. Furthermore, there are 38 quarantine facilities with 1,117 beds.
Due to increasing patients, there was a lack in the number of quarantine facilities. With this, the Government decided to turn Samras hostel into a quarantine centre. Besides this, people who wanted to have better facilities were given the option of private hotels.
Five-star hotels like Fern Hotel at S.G. Highway and Haj House in Kalupur have decided to run as quarantine centres. This will be a payment based service. But they cannot ask for regular charges, it will be on a discounted rate.
With increasing COVID-19 cases in the city, the State Government has decided to convert 60 hotels into COVID-19 hospitals. This facility will be free of cost, the State Government will take care of the expenses. These hotels have a capacity of 3000 beds.
To control the rapidly increasing coronavirus cases, the State Government has decided to shut all the shops like Grocery, fruits and vegetables. The only things that will be available are Milk and Medicines. This complete lockdown is from 07/05/2020 to 15/05/2020.
Presently, the State Government is thinking to convert L.D. Engineering into COVID-19 hospitals. They have written a letter for the same. Everyone is awaiting the decision.
Civil Hospital, Asarwa, Ahmedabad
SVP Hospital, Ellisbridge, Ahmedabad
HCG Hospitals, Mithakali, Ahmedabad
Sterling Hospitals, Pakwan Char Rasta, Ahmedabad
Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Rakhial Char Rasta, Ahmedabad
With increasing cases, there has been an addition of two new private hospitals that will provide free Coronavirus treatment.
Lokhandwala General Hospital, Dariyapur Darwaja, Ahmedabad
SMS Hospital, Chandkheda, Ahmedabad
These private hospitals will be providing free meals and treatment to patients. Both hospitals have a bed capacity of 1000 to 1500 people. Here, doctors will get a proper amount of PPE kits, sanitizers, and masks.
Ahmedabad Airport is completely prepared for screening the incoming patients according to the guidelines by the government. Furthermore, most of the hospitals have been equipped with health alert displays to keep the patients and their caretakers aware of the recent developments.
What is Corona Virus Gujarat Helpline Number
Anyone can call on 104 from Gujarat to know more details about Corona. Well, there are several other helplines for Ahmedabad that can be helpful in these uncertain and difficult times.
Which hospitals are conducting Corona Virus tests?
The samples of coronavirus are being tested in Government centre – BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad. Besides this, Private laboratories like Supratech laboratory and Unipath Speciality Laboratory are conducting tests for COVID-19.
One of the biggest reasons behind the increase in coronavirus cases are Super -spreaders. The term super spreaders refer to people who come in contact with large populations regularly. Every day there is an increase in the number of these super spreaders. According to sources, The total number of super-spreaders in Ahmedabad is 40. Out of 40 super spreaders, 23 were identified on Monday i.e. 27/04/20.
Out of all 23 super spreaders, 11 were vegetable vendors, 4 of them work in a Kirana store, besides this, others are unidentified. The ones identified on Sunday were from Naranpura and Gota. Out of 18, 11 worked in a Kirana store, 4 of them were milk vendors, and the remaining 3 were vegetable vendors.
Presently the number of super spreaders has reached 709. This is becoming a big problem for the state government in curbing COVID-19. After looking into the seriousness of the matter, AMC (Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation) has decided to impose fines on super spreaders for not wearing masks. The rule will come into action by May 1st, 2020. The super spreaders include vegetable and food vendors, Milk vendors, Shopkeepers, and Supermarket employees.
According to sources, If vegetable and fruit vendors are caught without masks, they will have to bear a fine of Rs.2000. Whereas the shopkeepers will face a fine of Rs. 5000. Last but not least the supermarkets will attract a heavy fine of Rs. 50,000.
Coronavirus has taken several countries by storm. India has also become prone to this pandemic. While looking at the present conditions, the State Government has decided to shut down the school, colleges, Malls, Theaters/Cinema Halls, Tuition classes, swimming pools, and some other public places.
These public places will be temporarily shut for 15 days, i.e. 16/03/2020 – 17/05/2020, to prevent the coronavirus outbreak. Government officials have also advised not to hold or be a part of mass gatherings. If anyone is found spitting publicly, they may attract a fine of Rs. 500. Spitting can become a cause of spreading this disease; that is why this order has been passed.
To prevent this pandemic, the State Government is bringing out one of its oldest acts under the state by notifying Gujarat Epidemic Diseases, COVID-19 Regulations, 2020. Last but not least, AMC is also about to distribute packets with sanitizing kits and masks to spread awareness and help the citizens of the city.
Presently, The overall state of Gujarat is locked down till 17/05/2020. Even the Bus, Railways, and Air Services have been terminated in the state and country too. This step has been taken in the light of rising cases of Coronavirus in the state. This lockdown will be helpful in breaking the chain reaction of COVID – 19.
There is a piece of good news for Amdavadis in the form of Lockdown 4.0. This phase of lockdown comes with a lot of benefits for common people. Several services will be available from 19/05/2020. Ahmedabad will be almost functional with offices, shops, salons, and restaurants opening from tomorrow (19/05/2020). The offices and shops will work on the rule of odd and even. Restaurants can function only on take away basis.
But the containment zones of the city will not be given any kind of permission for opening any non-essential shops and services. Furthermore, people from containment zones will not be allowed to travel to non-containment zones.
last but not least, Rikshaws and cabs are not allowed to function in the city. ST buses will be operational from 19/05/2020.
Every citizen of the city will have to abide by the rules. The city will be operational from morning 7 am to & pm. Post that, the whole city and the overall state will be in curfew. Besides this, anyone found spitting in public places will attract a fine of Rs.200.
To increase the usage of masks among people, the Gujarat Government has decided to provide Triple-layer masks in Amul parlour at the cost of Rs. 5. Whereas the N-95 masks will be sold at the cost of Rs. 65.
Furthermore, Talking about travelling, only one person is allowed on the two-wheeler whereas a driver and two passengers are allowed in the car.
We know how strong Amdavad and Amdavadis are. We will fight this disease with unity and come out stronger and healthier. PS: Avoid Handshakes and opt for Namaste!
The situation is getting worse for the state by each passing day. Due to this, there has been an introduction of several rules for the common people too. On April 13th, it was announced that wearing a mask is mandatory in public places. If one doesn't abide by the rules, he or she may attract a fine of Rs 1000-5000 or imprisonment for up to 3 years.
The AMC commissioner Vijay Nehra said, There are new rules to be implemented for home isolation of COVID-19 patients. According to these guidelines, a person who is asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic can pick either Covid-care centre or home isolation. The patient must be isolated in a separate room with an attached washroom. If the patient is serious, he or she will have to choose between a government and a private hospital.
Every single day there is news surfacing up with regards to attacks on doctors and police force, we request to please not do so. They are our protectors, let's help them in fighting this pandemic by staying in our home and abiding by all the laws.
There has been an addition of a total of 1000 beds in the SVP Hospital. In these bad times, there is a ray of hope as the doubling rate of cases has now been prolonged to 9 days.
These statistics show some positivity with the number of patients being discharged as on 28/04/2020.
This is one of the videos showing facilities provided to COVID-19 patients in the civil hospital.

The State Government has decided to put up more eight COVID-19 hospitals with a bed capacity of 800 beds. There is a piece of bad news for Ahmedabad as our honourable Municipal Commissioner Vijay Nehra has been quarantined. The reason behind it was his coming in contact with some COVID-19 positive patients.
According to AMC, there are almost 2000 superspreaders in every ward. With this, the total of superspreaders in Ahmedabad reaches to 14,000. To identify each one of them, AMC has decided to initiate rapid testing with a goal of 500 people every day.
The pandemic of Coronavirus (COVID – 19) originated at a market in Wuhan, China which is a big market for fishes, bats, snakes, and other wild animals. For now, experts think that it has been transmitted from animals to humans. Post that it started to spread from one person to another.
Several symptoms of coronavirus include:
Breathing Difficulties
Respiratory Symptoms
In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and kidney failure.
There could be millions of viruses on your hands. So, it advised to wash your hands frequently or sanitize them with an alcohol-based sanitizer to kill the viruses.
While picking a sanitizer, Always choose the one with 60-95% alcohol content.
Avoid social gatherings and stay at home. Because while you're out in public, there may be people with cough and cold. If such people cough or sneeze and are contracted with COVID -19, then even a small droplet from their nose or mouth may contain the virus and could transmit to you.
Your hands are home to several viruses, and for the same reason, it is advised to avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. The viruses can travel from your hands to the body, leaving you sick.
When you cough or sneeze, ensure to cover it with your elbow or tissue. Besides, don't forget to dispose of the tissue. The root cause of this virus are droplets, and for the same reason, it is essential to maintain good respiratory hygiene.
Always stay informed regarding this disease through newspaper, radio, internet or Television. Most importantly, follow the instructions provided by doctors as they can be utterly helpful.
Currently, COVID – 19 is untreatable, but the symptoms can be cured with the help of medical care. None of the antibiotics works on this virus.
It's high time we come together to fight this disease and defeat it. Unfortunately, Gujarat is becoming one of the prone zones to coronavirus. But if we stay at home together, we can surely come up with this pandemic. Please follow the essential measures and protect yourself, friends, and family. There is nothing to panic; it can be controlled if detected early.
We hope this blog will come in handy while knowing about Coronavirus (COVID – 19). If you have any feedback or suggestion, please write in the comment section.

Imperas Delivers Next Generation Embedded Software Development Suite Based On ToolMorphing Technology
Model and Tool Functions Integrated in Simulation Code Stream Provides High-Performance, Extended Capability and Ease-of-Use Benefits
OXFORD, United Kingdom, May 22nd, 2013 – Imperas Software Ltd (www.Imperas.com), a pioneer of advanced embedded software development systems using virtual platforms, today announced the release of its 2nd generation virtual platform development and multicore software design kit product offerings. These new products provide extended development capabilities operating at high performance levels.
The new Developer range and Multicore Software Development Kit products utilize a simulator that leverages a Just-In-Time code morphing mechanism. Imperas' breakthrough ToolMorphing technology extends this mechanism to generate tool and model code together.
ToolMorphing allows Imperas' customers to easily build models of their electronic hardware platforms and to integrate existing, industrially proven processor models that include tool and simulation capabilities, adding advanced, unique software development features operating at a high performance level. The entire tool suite is in use at a number of leading customers on real systems.
"The embedded software industry has just started to realize the potential of virtual platforms, and the Imperas approach layers verification knowledge, performance simulation expertise and customer insights to revolutionize the embedded software development process," noted Simon Davidmann, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Imperas Software. "This new technology is already dramatically reducing our customers' engineering schedules while increasing their product quality."
Developer Product Range
The Developer range is focused on building virtual platform models of new or existing hardware platforms and includes a simulator to enable embedded software development to take place often before hardware is available.
Each of the Developer products include:
iGen™ model generator, used in the creation of the platform model and the behavioral components that populate the platform. iGen uses TCL as input and outputs C, C++, and SystemC TLM2.0 components.
Imperas Model library of 100+ cpu model variants that includes ARM, Imagination MIPS, Power, Synopsys ARC, Cadence Tensilica, Renesas, and others. The Model library also includes many example and reference platforms such as the ARM Integrator, ARM Versatile Express, and MIPS Malta. The library also includes 80+ peripheral components.
The Imperas simulator, which executes the platform, peripheral, and CPU models, and allows compiled binaries of bare metal embedded software, embedded operating systems and applications to execute un-modified on virtual platforms, in turn running on desktop PCs.
"We are delighted to be working with Imperas to deliver a high-performance Instruction Accurate (IA) simulation solution for our many MIPS partners," said Tony King-Smith, EVP of marketing for Imagination Technologies, which recently acquired MIPS Technologies, Inc., and with it the industry-standard MIPS microprocessor architecture. "The performance and capability of the system enables our customers to rapidly produce high-quality code, using features such as Imperas' OVP processor models and M*SDK. This is a clear benefit when facing tight production schedules."
The simulator exhibits extremely high performance. For example, operating on a standard X86 personal computer, a complete virtual platform simulation with a dual core ARM® Cortex™-A9 model can boot a ramdisk version of the Linux operating system in under 5 seconds. The simulator operates with the GNU GDB debugger, and can be used in the Eclipse environment, as well as being included in the Imperas M*SDK™ product.
The Developer range includes 3 products: C*DEV™, S*DEV™, M*DEV™, focusing on Controller, Standard, and Multicore embedded software development.
Unique Embedded Software Development Kit
The Multicore Software Design Kit, M*SDK, product includes all the capabilities of the Developer product, and layers on top a powerful suite of verification, analysis and profiling (VAP™) capabilities, as well as 3Debug™ an advanced multicore debugger that operates across the spatial, temporal and abstraction domains.
"Given the wide variety of customer applications for our SoC FPGAs, our software stacks require rigorous and comprehensive testing. Imperas' M*SDK has proven to be an outstanding environment for the validation and analysis of operating systems, drivers and firmware," said Premal Buch, vice president of software for Altera. "Verification using the Imperas solution not only accelerates software bug discovery, but also provides a rapid understanding of the root cause of problems."
M*SDK includes common embedded software development capabilities, as well as a number of unique features, which accelerate code tuning and debug. These include: Code Coverage, Memory & Cache Analysis, Execution Profiling, Instruction & Function Tracing, Fault Injection, Protocol Verification, Exception & Interrupt Analysis, OS Task Tracing, OS Scheduler Analysis, Memory Protection Verification, and Shared Resource Introspection.
The system is multicore ready, allowing for a heightened level of observability and controllability across specific cores or entire heterogeneous platforms. It also provides CPU- and OS-aware operation, an abstraction that allows the software engineer to work at an appropriate level of analysis without unnecessary hardware detail. The entire system can be customized easily with APIs that allow supported data structure access. This has been utilized to provide a range of specialized checkers and control signaling, as well as complete integration into other environments.
The VAP tools and 3Debug capability have been implemented based on the Imperas ToolMorphing technology, which provides for just the required code for specific tooling to be generated by the simulator. This tight integration between tool and simulated model accelerates operation and makes the system easier to use. In addition, Imperas' Slipstreamer™ technology is employed in the environment for non-intrusive embedded software operation, ensuring that running the tools in no way affects code execution behavior, while enabling instrumentation free coverage and assertions.
M*SDK has been designed for use in demanding embedded software development and test scenarios. Specific usage examples include multi-Operating System customization, porting and debugging, intensive verification regression environments for products requiring failsafe operation, FPGA platform modeling where the Imperas software tool suite also required integrating into an existing hardware simulation environment, and a range of performance critical embedded software applications where bug scenarios were particularly complex.
"Imperas is launching some very interesting approaches to processor modeling and software testing. Historically processor models have been used in relatively small numbers, despite their enormous benefits," said Martin Baker, senior manager, ecosystem and business management for the Automotive Business Unit of Renesas Electronics America. "The Imperas business model has the potential to make processor modeling an affordable approach used widely across the industry."
The Developer range and M*SDK Software Design Kit products are available now. Pricing starts at $3,600 for an annual floating license.

The Winter Solstice is literally just around the corner and oh, so auspiciously occurring within hours of not just a Full Moon, but a Total Lunar Eclipse, visible to most of the planet. So, while this all sounds terribly exciting and momentous, what does it actually mean to the magickally inclined?
This year, the Winter Solstice occurs December 21, at 5:38 pm CST (GMT -6) the moment the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn. This night marks the longest night of the year, in that the Sun will be up for a shorter amount of time this day, in comparison to every other day in the year. After this longest night, the Sun will rise a little earlier and set a little later each day until the Summer Solstice, when the Sun again begins to wane, rising a little later and setting a little earlier each day.
We metaphorically mark this return of the Sun, i.e. the lengthening days, as a rebirth of the Sun. It is the Solar New Year and the start of the Waxing half of the year.
Though magick isn't generally worked on Sabbats, as they are times of purely worship and reverence, this is a time of new beginnings, of starting new and fresh.
The Total Phase of the Eclipse, where the Moon is completely covered by the Earth's shadow, will begin at 1:41 am CST (GMT -6) and will last 72 minutes.
This Eclipse will be visible to most of the planet, with all of North and South America, Northern and Western Europe, and a small portion of North-East Asia getting the best view.
The Full Moon is a time of heightened energies. It's no coincidence that many people, regardless of practicing magick or being Wiccan or Pagan, find it hard to sleep at the time of the Full Moon. Being roughly the same percentage of water as the Earth, it's no wonder then that we should feel Her effects as strongly. Pair this power of the Full Moon with an Eclipse, and we're looking at a very powerful time, magickally.
During an Eclipse, the energy of the Moon is concentrated, focused, and we see the Moon go through an entire Lunar Cycle in just a few hours. This energy is very suitably aligned for Transformation, for creating deep, lasting change. So, what we have here is all the power of an entire Lunar Cycle, all ready high because it is a Full Moon, and then further concentrated because of the Eclipse, available to us all in one shot.
In looking at these two events together, we see a time where energies are prime for creating powerful change within ourselves, leaving us free to start fresh and anew. This is a time of new beginnings in so many ways, for with the power of the Moon backing the Sun's rebirth and transformation, we have the opportunity to access this energy and to be reborn ourselves, to take considerable steps towards further personal growth, coming closer to being not just the people that we want to be, but the people that we are meant to be.

With more than 700,00 apps in the Apple App Store, breaking through to the top can prove to be a difficult task.
We spoke with some experts and developers in the mobile app space whose apps have reached the top of the charts. We learned from them what it takes to get there.
As of May 2012, Apps must receive at least 25,000 downloads per day to get a spot among the top 50 in U.S. category. Other countries are a little more lenient, Apps must get 10,000 downloads per day in China, 5,000 in the U.K. and South Korea. And a little less in Germany, France and Australia. Obviously, the numbers reduce significantly when looking at the top 50 in a particular category.
While that may not seem like an easy task, if your app can stand out from the others in terms of engagement, social ability, and the ability to share, your app should take off.
"Instagram was a perfect storm, it beautifies natural self-expression, offers a more beautiful optimized version of your own world, and the core activity is sharing," Walter Driver, the CEO of Scopely a Los Angeles venture-backed startup building the next generation of social mobile games, told Business Insider.
Keep reading for the top ways to reach the top of the App Store charts.
Francis Pedraza, the leader of the team at Everest, believes that focusing on your community is one of the most important things any app developer can do.
Everest is an app that encourages users to live their dreams and achieve personal goals. The app helps to break down big goals into small steps, build step streaks, learn from others, and capture your journey along the way.
"Within the Everest app there is a dedicated community where people can comment on other's dreams," Pedraza told Business Insider. "Start-ups that focus on growth prematurely end up having a less rich community. If you focus on engagement within the user base that you've already established you create a really rich community that people want to be a part of."
David King Lassman and Joe Sumner founders of Vyclone, a viral video app, which was selected as one of Apple's best apps of 2012 told Business Insider that creating a meaningful user experience should be an app developer's top priority.
"We would tell people to spend more time making their app something that people want to share with others. The reality of the App Store ecosystem is that it's out of your control, if you want to try to figure out ways to move up the list faster, we've found that there isn't really a trick. Developers just have to have an app that has multiple user benefits."
Walter Driver, CEO of Scopely, is an expert in creating awesome consumer mobile experiences. Driver has developed social apps and games used by millions of monthly users.
Driver has found that word of mouth is one of the best sources for discovering apps.
"Because users hear about new apps through friends and many use their smartphones in social situations, word of mouth is one of the best ways to reach new users." But Driver admits that it's really difficult to break through the charts, especially for people who are new to the game that haven't been releasing apps frequently.
Walter Driver, CEO of Scopely, also shared that one of the most important things developers can do is make something cool.
"Make something that resonates with users and stands out from the crowd," he said. "Apple definitely pays attention to and acknowledges apps that show off the Apple medium, and I think that's terribly important."
If you are charging for your app, consider lowering the price for the first few days or weeks.
Apps like Checkmark, a location-based reminders app, had major success in the Apple App Store despite lowering their initial price.
Ryan Cash, Checkmark's Founder, believes that "app pricing is very different for every type of app, and it's something very difficult to figure out. It's kind of scary, but exciting at the same time. You'll never know if you could have earned more or less."
Although he regrets discounting his app in the beginning, Checkmark remains a popular app. It now sells for $4.99 up from $0.99 during its inital release.
A few days after its launch Checkmark was at the top of the App Store productivity category and users couldn't get enough.
Keep the application "top of mind" through email and social media integration. Give your users a great reason to share, like, and follow.
Make an absolutely killer app (if you've done that, feel free to ignore most of the above).
Hiring a PR team helps to blanket the market with as much coverage as possible.
A PR team can reach out to journalists and key stakeholders, offering them demos and reviews that can coincide with your app's launch.
In addition, PR teams can manage your social media presence and help spread the word.
App promotion networks like FreeAppADay, TapJoy, Fiksu, app-promo, and W3i all help your app to get noticed.
Unlike PR agencies, promotion networks offer a range of services to mobile developers and publishers, ranging from traditional PR and marketing, to highly specialized services such as Appstore SEO, app sponsorship campaigns, and mobile ad buying.
Nominate your app for an award or two.
Apps can receive awards from the tech industry at events like the Crunchies, Appy Awards, or Best App Ever Awards.
These events are great ways to gain exposure to a wider audience which will drive downloads.

While, I still don't know where is the most appropriate section to host this topic, I couldn't resist to post a link to a great French-Armenian dancers and Dance Troupe that few mounts ago made a great furor at Le Theatre National "Ivan Vazov" in Sofia, Bulgaria. Friend of mine attended the event and said it was awsome. After the concert the participants and fans and the public chased them to the restourant that they were suppose to rest and the party started all over again, this time with the public and everybody dancing.
After all, Gam, you're not as bad as you want us to believe.
Very cool. Thank you gams.

When is the last time I told you; "You are wonderful, full of wonder"?
Where do you find these wonderful sites?
Why is it that every time I watch such beauty I must have a box of Kleenex handy?
Yes, yes. I know. I'm an old fool. I just recently saw Anush at the Yerevan Opera House, and I had to leave the hall several times, just s I did some ten years ago because I did not have enough Kleenexes in my pocket.
The most beautiful of the whole thing are those those beautiful boys and girls, and the music is played with traditional Armenian instruments like duduk, zurna and dhol. No Zilji-oglu cymbals, no Yamaha keyboards….and so on.
Some time ago I was deeply embroiled in debates of what traditional Armenian Music and Dance is. The debate was about advertising "Armenian Nights" emphasizing "belly dancing". Can you see any bellies in the above tapes? Do you see any more than those "big Armenian noses" , (don't shoot me, it's a joke), or past the tips of their fingers?
And…. One of the tapes features Kochari. Where is Robert Kochar(ian)?
Is that the same dance our troops performed at the Brandenburg Gate in may of 1945??
And of course Tamzara - equally dear to Armenians and Greeks!
Hey Gams. We are not friends anymore.

Yes, yes! I love the nazelajem movement of those beautiful aghchiks doing the "tamarza", yes tamarza/tomarza, not tamzara,( I can write about it, if I have not already done) you give us sites that feature noise created by oud-kak, dumb-kak, clari-kak and git-kak. In the Arabic culture the clarinet is known as "ghrnata/Granada, how far is that from Yerevan?
Where are the duduks, zurnas, dhols, kamanchas, shvis, srings, sazes, tars and kanons?
Does anyone remember those instruments anymore?
I bet you MosJan does!!
Can we get over ourTurkish, Ottoman, Arabic … (musical) heritage already, and get back to the likes of the saz and kamancha of Sayat Nova!!!
Edited by Arpa, 28 July 2006 - 07:24 PM.
And of course the Classic Armenian Dance by Aram Khachaturian's Gayane!
Arpa will worship me again!
This is a coool find!
Gamavor; You know you are such a well rounded guy I am impressed. You are a professional, yet you are very much into Armenian music and Armenian dances; basically our culture. Good for you!

More Tamzara!!! Acctually this version of Tamzara I remember from my childhood at Armenian gatherings.

British Executions
Crime: forgery
Date Of Execution: 10 Nov 1762
Crime Location:
Execution Place: Tyburn
Method: hanging
Executioner: unknown
Source: http://www.exclassics.com/newgate/ng295.htm
JAMES FARR, WILLIAM SPARRY AND WILLIAM BIDDLE
Executed at Tyburn, 10th November, 1762 for forging a Will
AT the sessions of the Old Bailey held on the 22nd of October, 1762,the above prisoners were indicted for forging, and publishing as true, a certain paper instrument, in writing, purporting to be the last will and testament of Jeffery Henville, late of Charles Street, St James's, tailor, with intent to defraud Anne Ferte, housekeeper to the said Henville, and to whom he had bequeathed his personal estate.
Farr was a relation of the deceased, and a tallow-chandler in the Strand. Sparry was a disgraceful attorney, residing at Greenwich, and son-in-law to Henville; while Biddle was the landlord of the Ship and Anchor tavern, without Temple Bar.
The deceased, Henville, had bequeathed his real estate to the son of Sparry, and it appears the father coveted a share of the testator's personal property, to obtain which he contrived a spurious will in favour of himself and Farr. Biddle was to be rewarded for the iniquitous part he took in the transaction, which was to witness the forged instrument.
The forgery was fully proved upon them, and they accordingly received sentence of death. On the 10th of November they were conveyed to Tyburn, in order for execution.
They all behaved penitently and with resolution, but decent resignation. Farr fixed the knot of the halter under his left ear, and then exclaimed: "I have but a few moments to stay in this world. I have found it a wicked world -- a very wicked world indeed!" The other two malefactors declined to address the populace, and they were immediately launched into eternity.
