Getting the language count right
The story, "Death of Jagmohan, the Elephant", by Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi, is about the death of an elephant. For a reader, the story may appear to be about a rather "big death", but what the writer wanted to say was that there are also many "small deaths". They include the deaths of Dalits and tribals who are trapped by hunger and humiliation. Anonymity surrounds them and our lack of compassion gives them finality.
2021 census data to be stored electronically
The death of a tree or a forest sacrificed at the altar of development is mourned but not spoken about. Similarly, the death of a language is literally shrouded in silence. Because of its nature, a language is not visible and fails to move anyone except its very last speaker who nurtures an unrequited hope of a response. When a language disappears it goes forever, taking with it knowledge gathered over centuries. With it goes a unique world view. This too is a form of violence. Large parts of culture get exterminated through slight shifts in policy instruments than through armed conflicts. Just as nature's creations do not require a tsunami to destroy them, the destruction of culture can be caused by something as small as a bureaucrat's benign decision. Even a well-intentioned language census can do much damage.
Over the last many decades, successive governments have carried out a decadal census. The 1931 Census was a landmark as it held up a mirror to the country about the composition of caste and community. War disrupted the exercise in 1941, while it was a rather busy year for the new Indian republic at the time of the 1951 Census It was during the 1961 census that languages in the country were enumerated in full. India learnt that a total of 1,652 mother tongues were being spoken. Using ill-founded logic, this figure was pegged at only 109, in the 1971 Census. The logic was that a language deserving respectability should not have less than 10,000 speakers. This had no scientific basis nor was it a fair decision but it has stuck and the practice continues to be followed.
Hits and misses
The language enumeration takes place in the first year of every decade. The findings are made public about seven years later as the processing of language data is far more time consuming than handling economic or scientific data. Early this month, the Census of India made public the language data based on the 2011 Census, which took into account 120 crore speakers of a very large number of languages. The Language division of the Census office deserves praise but the data presented leaves behind a trail of questions.
During the census, citizens submitted 19,569 names of mother tongues — technically called "raw returns". Based on previous linguistic and sociological information, the authorities decided that of these, 18,200 did not match "logically" with known information. A total of 1,369 names — technically called "labels" — were picked as "being names of languages". The "raw returns" left out represent nearly 60 lakh citizens. And because of the classification regime, their linguistic citizenship has been dropped.
In addition to the 1,369 "mother tongue" names shortlisted, there were 1,474 other mother tongue names. These were placed under the generic label "Others". As far as the Census is concerned, these linguistic "Others" are not seen to be of any concern. But the fact is that they have languages of their own. The classification system has not been able to identify what or which languages these are and so they have been silenced by having an innocuous label slapped on them.
The 1,369 have been grouped further under a total of 121 "group labels", which have been presented as "Languages". Of these, 22 are languages included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, called "Scheduled Languages". The remainder, 99, are "Non-scheduled Languages". An analysis shows that most of the groupings are forced. For instance, under the heading "Hindi", there are nearly 50 other languages. Bhojpuri (spoken by more than 5 crore people, and with its own cinema, theatre, literature, vocabulary and style) comes under "Hindi". Under Hindi too is the nearly 3 crore population from Rajasthan with its own independent languages. The Powari/Pawri of tribals in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh too has been added. Even the Kumauni of Uttarakhand has been yoked to Hindi. While the report shows 52,83,47,193 individuals speaking Hindi as their mother tongue, this is not so. There is a similar and inflated figure for Sanskrit by counting the returns against the question about a person's "second language".
English use
As against this, the use of English is not seen through the perspective of a second language. Counting for this is restricted to the "mother tongue" category — in effect bringing down the figure substantially. Given the widespread use of English in education, law, administration, media and health care, a significant number of Indians use English as a utility language. To some extent it is the language of integration in our multilingual country. Therefore, isn't the Census required to capture this reality? It can, given the data on the language of second preference, but it does not for reasons that need no spelling out. So the Census informs us that a total of 2,59,678 Indians speak English as their "mother tongue" — numerically accurate and semantically disastrous.
The language Census may not attract as much attention as news about fuel prices. But in the community of nations, the Indian census is bound to be discussed. A body such as UNESCO will look at it with interest. From the 1940s, when its General Council decided to establish a Translation Bureau to years later, in 2008, when its Executive Board debated "Multilingualism in the Context of Education for All", UNESCO has progressively developed its vision and deepened its understanding of global linguistic diversity.
From time to time, UNESCO tries to highlight the key role that language plays in widening access to education, protecting livelihoods and preserving culture and knowledge traditions. In 1999/2000, it proclaimed and observed February 21 as International Mother Language Day, while in 2001 the 'Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity' accepted the principle of "Safeguarding the linguistic heritage of humanity and giving support to expression, creation and dissemination in the greatest possible number of languages." In pursuit of these, UNESCO has launched a linguistic diversity network and supported research. It has also brought out an Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger, which highlights the central place of language in the world's heritage. Is our language census consistent with these ideas and principles?
One expects that the Census in India should adequately reflect the linguistic composition of the country. It is not good practice when data helps neither educators nor policy makers or the speakers of languages themselves. The Census, a massive exercise that consumes so much time and energy, needs to see how it can help in a greater inclusion of the marginal communities, how our intangible heritage can be preserved, and how India's linguistic diversity can become an integral part of our national pride.
b) Rocky summit: when Trump met Putin
A summit between the leaders of the world's strongest nuclear powers, which fought the Cold War for decades, is an opportunity to discuss areas of shared interest, find ways to dial down mutual tensions and work together to address global issues. But well before Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin sat down for their first formal summit meeting, in Helsinki, there were concerns that it would be overshadowed by allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The uproar in Washington over Mr. Trump's remarks on the Russian meddling scandal — with even accusations of treason — and his subsequent U-turn suggest that such concerns were valid. Mr. Trump could have certainly managed the summit better by addressing genuine concerns in the U.S. over allegations of Russia's election meddling. Days earlier, the U.S. Justice Department indicted 12 Russian intelligence officials for hacking and leaking emails of top Democrats. It therefore seemed surreal when the President accepted the Russian version over that of his own intelligence agencies and the Justice Department. Away from the controversy, the closed-door meeting between the leaders can be evaluated only on the progress made on a number of contentious issues before both.
The new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) is set to expire in 2021 and Russia has shown interest in extending it. For a consensus, high-level talks between the U.S. and Russia are needed. From the crisis in Ukraine to the civil war in Syria, Russia-U.S. cooperation is vital to finding lasting solutions. The Iran nuclear deal, for which Mr. Putin and Barack Obama worked together despite differences, is in a shambles. Most of these issues, including the threat posed by nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, were discussed at the summit. But it's not clear whether the talks will lead to any significant change in policies. Since the Ukraine crisis, the West has tried different methods, including sanctions and pressure tactics, to isolate Russia and change its behaviour. But those methods have proved largely unsuccessful as Russia is now a far more ambitious foreign policy power with an enhanced presence in Eastern Europe and West Asia — even if its sanctions-hit economy is struggling. Instead of continuing a policy that has failed and ratcheted up global tensions, the Western alliance should junk its Cold War mentality and engage with Russia; Russia, in turn, will have to shed its rogue attitude and be more open and stable in its dealings. The stakes are high and the bitterness of the past should not hinder U.S.-Russia relations. That should have been the message from Helsinki.

Japan's IR bill making slow progress
Secondary legislation won't be on the agenda until the next Diet session, according to sources.
Japan's IR bill progressed rapidly last diet session, but reports suggest there won't be any movement during the Diet's spring session.
Secondary legislation outlining the ground rules for potential casinos has been postponed according to analysts at brokerage Union Gaming Securities Asia Ltd, and will most likely be handled during the fall session later this year.
Japan passed the first legislation required to lift the casino ban last December and provided subsequent legislation is approved in a timely manner, casinos may open by 2023.
A team tasked with the Japanese Integrated Resort (IR) policies commenced work last month, indicating it won't all be smooth sailing.
Overseen by the Liberal Democratic Party, the team has started plans for the construction and operation of the IRs. The group is also addressing issues about problem gamblers and concerns about crime as expressed by public polls.
The group is expected to submit its recommendations to the government by the end of March.
Despite the lack of a regulatory framework major companies around the world including Melco Crown and Las Vegas Sands are already trying to outbid each other for a winning venue.
And the reason these major companies are expressing interest so soon isn't just because Japan has the potential to become the biggest gambling destination in the world, but also due to the likelihood the legislation will be approved.
Foreign tourism is the key component of the bill, with hopes Japanese companies will partner IR approved projects. Hard Rock Cafe understands the need to include local authorities suggesting a 40 to 60 per cent stake in an IR project.
Locations of three scheduled casinos won't be determined until 2019 and how licenses will be awarded remains unknown.
"We think the most likely scenario is a dual RFP [request for proposal] process: a geographic RFP followed by a developer RFP," Union Gaming analyst Grant Govertsen said.
A local contender for the IR license is pachinko hall operator Dynam Japan Holdings Co Ltd.
"Dynam intends to be a participant in any upcoming RFP process as it relates to a regional (e.g. smaller-scale) IR, especially in Yamaguchi prefecture," Govertsen said.
"We believe there is unrealized value in shares of Dynam as it relates to the IR opportunity.
"Not only as a likely front-runner for a regional license but from the standpoint of being an ideal candidate for strategic investment by an international developer who needs to better understand the locals market."

Q: Javascript AJAX Response, for loop difficulty I have a little problem. Namely, I would like to get the value of my variable: count_green outside of my for loop. Has somebody an idea how I can do that?
Here is a snippet of my code:
function State(type, count, list_name){
var count_green = 0;
var count_yellow = 0;
var count_red = 0;

for (i = 0; i < count; i++){
    var jqxhr = $.ajax( "/custom_data/getState/" + type[i]).done(function(result) {
        for (j = 0; j < count; j++){
            if(result.type == type[j]){
                if(result.value == "GREEN"){
                    $("#" + type[j]).css("color","#468847");
                    count_green = count_green + 1;
                }
                if(result.value == "YELLOW"){
                    $("#" + type[j]).css("color","#f89406");
                    count_yellow = count_yellow + 1;
                }
                if(result.value == "RED"){
                    $("#" + type[j]).css("color","#b94a48");
                    count_red = count_red + 1;
                }
            }
        }
    });
}
    //Here I would need the value of count_green, count_yellow and count_green
    //Unfortunately they are outside of the for loop 0.
    addCounters(count_green, count_yellow, count_red);
}

function addCounters(state_green, state_yellow, state_red){
    $(".line").find(".list").append('' + state_green + '');
}

As you can see if I put the method call: addCounters in the for loop I get many badges why I need to access the count-variables: count_green, count_yellow and count_red outside of the for loop and ajax code.
I saw some solutions with callback but I need only one time the value of the variables, if I work with callback I get more then 1 time the values.
Thank you in advance.

A: One solution would be synchronous requests. http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/ look at the async property.
$.ajax( "/custom_data/getState/" + type[i], {async: false}).done(...)

Another solution would look like this
var requestCount = 0;

for (i = 0; i < count; i++){
    var jqxhr = $.ajax( "/custom_data/getState/" + type[i]).done(function(result) {
        for (j = 0; j < count; j++){
            if(result.type == type[j]){
                if(result.value == "GREEN"){
                    $("#" + type[j]).css("color","#468847");
                    count_green = count_green + 1;
                }
                if(result.value == "YELLOW"){
                    $("#" + type[j]).css("color","#f89406");
                    count_yellow = count_yellow + 1;
                }
                if(result.value == "RED"){
                    $("#" + type[j]).css("color","#b94a48");
                    count_red = count_red + 1;
                }
            }
        }
        requestFinished(count_green, count_yellow, count_red);
    });
}

function requestFinished(count_green, count_yellow, count_red){
    requestCount++;
    if(requestCount == count){//all requests finished
       addCounters(count_green, count_yellow, count_red);
    }
}

How Many Amps Should I Charge My Car Battery At?
After reading all the electric vehicle primers available online, you might think that you already know everything about the EV charging process - from the different types of chargers to the charging alternatives in the stickiest situations.
But, little is written about how many amps your car battery charger should REALLY be.
This question has more to do with charge rate. It's important for you to know how long your car's battery takes to fully charge, so you can plan ahead and not waste your precious time.
Knowing what charger to use is also crucial in determining how long a full charge takes to avoid over charging or overheating.
So, what amp charger for a car battery is right for you? Is it a 2 amp or a 10 amp charger?
How Many Amps to Charge a Car Battery?
Knowing how many amps your car battery needs can be a lifesaver for your battery. With too many amps, you risk overheating your battery, which may lead to an explosion. With too few amps, your car battery will take forever to charge!
The safest amp to charge car batteries is from 4 to 7.5 amps. Charging within this range ensures the vehicle battery won't overcharge, overheat, or be damaged in the process.
Yes, you can safely charge a minimum voltage 12-volt battery with this amp rating, though it will be pretty slow. To increase the charge rate, you'll need at least 12.9 volts.
You can charge your automobile battery at higher voltages as long as it's not yet fully charged.
This means that the alternator voltages and the vehicle charger voltages could safely get 15 volts while ensuring the battery won't get overcharged.
The higher the voltage, the faster a charge cycle is completed.
How Many Amps do I need to Charge a 12v Battery?
Deep cycle batteries at 12v cannot handle more than 30 amps of charge current. Fast charging is not recommended for this type of battery, so stick to 10 amps for safety.
Keep in mind that 20 amps is already fast charging, and repeated use of high charging amps may result in bad battery health.
Should I charge My Battery at 2-amps or 10-Amps?
The rule of thumb is, lower amps result in a slow charge and higher amps result in higher charging rate.
While safe for your car battery, charging at 2 amps is very slow. You're highly unlikely to end up with dead batteries, but a battery at 50-amp hours will take 24 hours to be fully charged.
A 10 amp charger can charge a car battery in about 5 hours. There's a low chance of overheating, but if a short develops, it may cause car batteries to fail.
If a car battery fails, dangerous chemicals could leak. Immediately disconnect the charger from the power source and contact a mechanic.
Can I Charge a Car Battery at 50 amps?
Charging car batteries at 50 amps is already considered fast charging. At 50 amps, you can charge a 50-amp battery in just 1 hour. Use these types of battery chargers in moderation if you want your cars to be safely charged as frequent fast charging may result in decreased battery capacity and poor battery health.
Can you Overcharge a Battery at 2 Amps?
If you leave your car charging continuously, there is still a possibility of overcharging even at a mere 2 amps.
Overcharging your car battery produces excessive gas when electrolytes heat up and both hydrogen and oxygen are produced, eventually leaving you with a completely dead battery.
To avoid this, take note of your vehicle battery capacity to know how many amp hours it'll take to fully charge.
Do Amps Matter when Charging a Battery?
The amperage matters during a charging process if you want to maintain a healthy battery. Most batteries used in electric cars can handle up to 32 amps.
A 32-amp charger can give your car battery up to 25 miles of range per hour.
An average deep cycle battery has a voltage of 12, but this doesn't necessarily mean that you can just grab any 12-volt car charger and assume it can be fully charged safely.
If the charger exceeds 10% of the ah rating or the amp-hour capacity of your battery, you run the risk of overheating it. The amps can make or break your car's battery.
How Long Does it Take to Charge a Car Battery
The more discharged your car's battery is, the longer it takes for you to get a fully charged battery. As the charge dissipates, you may notice that some of your car's features won't work properly. Your car engine might not even start, especially in a cold environment when your battery needs to work double time. This is because there's not enough power in the batteries to keep them powered-on. Or you don't have enough cold cranking amps.
When this happens, an indicator light will show up on your dashboard, signaling that your car's battery needs some charging.
The charging rate will depend on the kind of battery you're charging and its capacity. To know how long your battery will take to charge, you'll have to find out the reserve capacity of your battery and your charger's output charging current.
A battery with 100 amp hours of capacity can be charged by a 10 amp charger in 10 hours.
If you're charging a flooded lead acid battery, it'll take more time as it is charged in phases. Voltage is held at a constant during the absorption phase, while current decreases. So, you can't increase the current and expect faster charging in lead acid batteries.
Tips on How to Use Your Battery Charger Properly
Investing in a smart charger can save you money in the long run. These chargers communicate with your car, the charging operator, and your utility company through data connections. This optimizes your energy consumption and costs.
FAQs ( Answer within 55-60 words each)
Do I need to Disconnect My Car Battery before Charging It?
You don't have to disconnect your car battery before charging as long as you're using a smart charger that's microprocessor-controlled. These chargers are designed to prevent any damage to your car.
What if My Charger isn't Working on My Dead Battery?
If your battery refuses to charge, this is not due to the amperage or your charger. It's because the charger cannot recognize your battery's low voltage.
For a charger to recognize a battery that's hooked up, it must meet the minimum voltage requirement. This voltage varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the standard voltage is between 9.5 to 10 volts.
What if my battery won't charge?
If the charger is not the issue, do some investigation on the EV. Most EVs have a secondary lead acid battery with reserve capacity to support other vehicle features independent of the main battery. This lead acid battery also requires maintenance.
There might also be sulfation and grid corrosion in the battery, which increases internal resistance. Internal resistance opposes the flow of the current, inhibiting power delivery.
How many amps should my battery charger be?
Use a charger with an amp rating that's about 10% of the total amp hour battery capacity or less. For example, a battery with a rating of 100 amp hours must use a charger rated 10 amps or less. If the battery has 50 amp hours of rating, a 5 amp charger is suitable. Most EV batteries have between 50 amp hours to 70 amp hours of rating, so you'll want to use a charger with 5 to 7.5 amp.
Can I charge a car battery with a 20 amp charger?
Yes, most EV batteries can handle up to 32 amps, so it's safe to charge your car battery with a 20 amp charger. It can give you a full battery charge in just 2.5 hours!
Can you charge a car battery with a 15 amp charger?
A 15 amp charger is perfectly fine to be used with a car battery.
Is it better to charge a battery at 2 amps or 10 amps?
If you want a faster battery charge rate, go with the 10 amps. Low charging current at 2 amps can be unreliable, but it won't hurt if you have two chargers.
Is it safe to charge a car battery at 10 amps?
Yes, it's safe to charge at 10 amps. You can have a full charge in just 5 hours!
Is it better to charge a car battery at 2 amps or 6 amps?
The general rule of thumb is, the higher the amp, the faster the charging rate. Charging at 6 amps is more reliable than charging at 2 amps.

Meet The Unknown Immigrant Billionaire Betting Her Fortune To Take On Musk In Space
By Lauren Gensler -Forbes - Even in the bloated-budget world of aerospace, $650 million is a lot of money. It's approximately the price of six of Boeing's workhorse 737s or, for the more militarily inclined, about the cost of seven F-35 stealth fighter jets. It's also the amount of money NASA and the Sierra Nevada Corp. spent developing the Dream Chaser, a reusable spacecraft designed to take astronauts into orbit. Sierra Nevada, which is based in Sparks, Nevada, and 100% owned by Eren Ozmen and her husband, Fatih, put in $300 million; NASA ponied up the other $350 million. The Dream Chaser's first free flight was in October 2013 when it was dropped 12,500 feet from a helicopter. The landing gear malfunctioned, and the vehicle skidded off the runway upon landing. A year later, NASA passed on Sierra Nevada's space plane and awarded the multibillion-dollar contracts to Boeing and SpaceX.

Five Questions with ALS Researcher Udai Pandey
Amy Madsen 11/25/2017 11/25/2017
Udai Pandey, associate professor at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, was awarded an MDA research grant totaling $300,000 over three years to identify new drugs for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) caused by a mutation in the FUS gene.
Please describe your current research.
We are interested in understanding the basic mechanisms of FUS-mediated ALS and are working to identify drugs that can suppress symptoms associated with ALS. Our MDA-funded ongoing studies are critical for translating a pool of drug hits into therapeutic candidates that can be tested in animal models of FUS-ALS.
We recently performed a large small molecule screen using a library of 400,000 drugs in a yeast model of FUS-mediated neurodegeneration and identified about 80 drugs that strongly suppress toxicities associated with FUS. We are proposing to follow up on these positive compounds in a fly model of FUS as well as in nerve cells created from ALS patient stem cells. Currently, there are no drugs available specifically for FUS ALS patients and our proposed pre-clinical studies are likely to help in identifying drugs for clinical trials.
Is this your first MDA grant?
This is my first MDA research grant. I completed my postdoctoral training with the support of an MDA career developmental grant award. MDA support has been critical and a driving force for establishing our ALS research program.
What is your focus within the ALS field, and why is it important?
We are interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of FUS-mediated ALS. We've developed cellular and animal models to determine how pathogenic mutations in FUS cause motor neuron degeneration.
A FUS mutation can lead to an aggressive and juvenile form of ALS. This protein is similar to another ALS-causing RNA binding protein TDP-43. This area is important as it can help in understanding how defective RNA metabolism leads to motor neuron degeneration.
What is the expected outcome of this research?
We expect to develop robust cellular and animal models that would be useful for studying basic ALS mechanisms.
How will your research lead to treatments and cures?
Our small molecule screening project could help in identifying drugs that might be useful for testing in vertebrate ALS models and ultimately in human clinical trials.
Does your work have any potential implications for other disease fields?
Degeneration of motor neurons has been observed in several human neurological diseases. Whatever we learn from our studies may have potential implication for other neurological disease fields.

If you haven't been to Trader Joe's, you are missing out. It's a haven for people on the keto diet. In this article we are going to go over the best Trader Joe's keto options.
We're not going to waste your time with things you can get at any grocery store. For instance, a dozen eggs is keto no matter where you get it, so these will be items that are unique (at least somewhat) to Trader Joe's.
These are delicious tortilla shells. Oh yeah and on top of that, they are just three net carbs! I realize it says 4g net effective carbohydrates on the label, but the nutritional information clearly says 10g carbs and 7g fiber. Not sure what their formula for net effective carbohydrates, but we're going go with what we know and say three net carbs.
At just three net carbs, 1 1/4 cup of broccoli slaw is an awesome treat. Now this leaves you with the dressing still needing to be accounted for, so you have some options. One is you can add it to a salad. Another option is to add it to a tortilla wrap with your choise of meat. Spread some Veganaise (no carbs) on it and make some delicious, vegan slaw. Your options are endless.
Not everyone will love these, but some of you will. In 15 chips you get six net carbs. This is a snack that will curb your appetite for a while.
Alright, I know we said we were only going to discuss things that are somewhat unique to Trader Joe's. Sure, there is riced cauliflower everywhere. But we felt like we had to mention this because it is THE BEST riced cauliflower. Just two net carbs per 3/4 cup, this stuff is freaking awesome.
Crab cakes are delicious, but I'm not telling you anything new there. The challenge is finding crab cakes or a crab cake recipe that is low carb. Well at Trader Joe's, they have you covered. Three net carbs in one of these bad boys. It's important to remember that this is per crab cake. So you are only able to eat one or two if you want to keep it super keto friendly. Or you can splurge a little and go three or four. One or two of these are a great addition to a meal.
These are absolutely delicious! Not many places you can find a mahi mahi burger. They are one net carb per burger. Without a bun they will not be very filling, but no worries, just eat an entire box! Well, that could be a bit pricey, but you can make a great meal with a couple of these mahi mahi burgers as your centerpiece.
Talk about a dip that will spice up your celery, carrots or raw cauliflower! This stuff is amazing. Just one net carb per serving. There is also plenty of versatility with this dip. You can use it to top a bunless burger. You can just take down a couple spoonfuls of it. It is impossible to lose with this dip!
These are incredible and not pumped full of carbs like many other prepackaged dried meat snacks. Also, these are budget-friendly. Throw a few in your bag before you head to the gym and they will hold off your hunger attacks. ZERO NET CARBS!
These are just a few of the very unique keto friendly eats you can find at Trader Joe's. I could literally keep going forever.
Don't forget that many of the keto-friendly foods you get at other grocery stores are going to be even better at Trader Joe's. The nuts section is to die for. More options and more flavors than you can imagine. Also, the meats there are second to none. You can find unique options like jalapeno chicken sausage. You can't go wrong when you dive into the Trader Joe's low carb options.


It's Preseason at K&L Hollywood!
If you're a regular shopper at K&L, or receive our weekly Events email, you know about our in-store wine tastings held every Thursday and Saturday. These informal, educational (and social!) meetings provide the opportunity to explore a region and expand your palate. But did you know we have an exciting new way to learn about wine? This summer, we rebooted our offsite wine dinner series as a way to elevate the food-and-wine pairing experience and to connect our customers to the people behind the wine.
Once autumn arrives, however, our focus switches to the approaching holiday season: eight action-packed weeks of stocking, hauling cases to cars and nonstop running. Eight weeks of providing gift ideas, recommendations for parties, and wine pairings for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner or New Year's Eve celebrations. I love the high energy at this time of year, but it also means our events calendar will start to wind down.
We are gearing down and capping off the dinner series for the year with three weeks of offsite events to showcase a roster of wine pairing ideas that can seamlessly make the final cut for your own holiday entertaining: I call this "K&L Preseason." Here's a recap of our Billecart-Salmon event last week that will hopefully whet your appetite for the last two dinners of 2018.
Champagne is not just for celebrating, it is also quite a versatile wine that adapts well to many different foods. Last week we kicked off week one with a fabulous dinner at Otium restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles to celebrate 200 years of Billecart-Salmon. Sixth-generation family member Antoine Roland-Billecart was in attendance to commemorate the event, which was also designed to showcase how well Champagne complements different foods and is worthy of being served during the meal - not just at the reception or after party.
The acidity in Champagne cuts through rich dishes, clearing slickness from the palate and leaving your mouth ready for the next bite. Also, the mineral qualities found in either the wine's texture or flavors (salinity, for example) adds an extra dimension to food. And because Champagne can be made of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, either as a blend or single varietal, the taste profile has considerable range. Looking for a few pairing ideas? Take a look at our menu for the evening, courtesy of the team of chefs at Otium.
Why it works: The salinity in this wine really shines, especially alongside the richness of the butter poached lobster and the subtle tarragon crème fraîche and bacon. The acidity cut through and cleansed my mouth after each bite. 100% Chardonnay from the best plots in the Côtes des Blancs.
Why it works: The body of this wine was in harmony with the light, creamy sauce and truffles. The texture of the bubbles melded well with the crunchiness of the crumb topping. 75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay.
Why it works: I could not get enough of this! The smokiness on the meat from the wood fired oven and the richness of the sweetbreads was counterbalanced by the toasty qualities and acidity in the wine. I wanted a second serving of this combination. 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 5% is fermented in old oak barrels then spends 11 years on the lees.
Why it works: Namelaka, a Japanese term for creamy texture, is a ganache that is slightly firm but ultimately sensuously creamy. The fine mousse and red fruit notes of this rosé was decadent with the ganache. Plus, Champagne + salty food = best friends. A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir.
Still think Champagne is just for celebrating? Up your wine pairing game and make bubbles part of the main event. Admittedly I don't often drink Champagne as part of a meal, but thanks to this eye-opening experience, that is about to change.
Our Next Wine Dinner is This Friday at Barbrix with Talley Vineyards!
Interested in attending? Join us this Friday, October 5th 7pm at Barbrix in Silver Lake for this $85 all-inclusive dinner with four courses and six wines. Take a look at the menu! Some tickets are still available. Click here to buy. We hope to see you there!

Everyone likes to have smooth skin and wants to look beautiful. But having unwanted hair is like a hindrance for getting smooth skin. There is a solution to get rid of those unwanted hair and that is permanent hair reduction laser hair removal. The perfect treatment for all those people who don't like or have much time to shave or wax on regular basis. Laser work amazing for eliminating unwanted hair from the face, leg, arm, underarm, bikini line and other areas. But there are some things that you must keep in your mind before getting permanent hair reduction treatment.
Pluck or Wax before Treatment is not a good idea: Once your appointment is fixed for the first treatment, you need to hold off the regular hair removal routine. This is more like a precaution to make sure that the hair follicles are in the suitable growth stage before getting the hair-removal procedure. If there is proper hair growth, then the laser hair removal process will be more effective. It's important to limit the sun exposure also and make a habit of using tanning lotions minimum before three weeks of your treatment, that won't let skin contrast.
Stay away from the sun before the appointment: Sunburn is not a good news if you are planning to get laser hair removal treatment or even if you are experiencing tanning problem. Usually, summer might not be the right time to have permanent hair reduction treatment if you love to travel. Many people start their treatment during the winter or in the fall, to have smooth and clear skin by the time summer arrives.
A test patch is must before the treatment: Make sure to go for a test patch to check how your skin would react after the laser hair removal procedure. There is a possibility of discoloration, scarring and pigment problems that can happen after the treatment. So, to be protected from those reactions physician usually conduct a small test patch first. If the test goes successfully, then go ahead with the whole treatment.
Sunscreen is a nice idea for post-treatment: After the treatment, sunscreen should be like your BFF as your skin will be sensitive, even if you won't feel like, make sure to protect it from the sun rays as much as possible. If you skip this habit you won't be able to have that smooth and clear skin that you have always wished for.
Always remain consistent: A good student is the one who follows up the teacher! It is same with the laser hair removal treatment also; you need to be consistent to see the best results. The hair follicles are on their own growth series, so go for the treatment in every 4 to 6 weeks just to maximize the possibility of zapping the most follicles. In this time duration, the dead hair starts to fall out. These are the few things that you should keep in mind for getting the best results from permanent hair reduction laser removal treatment. If you successfully get through all these then you will surely get that dreamy skin that you have always imagined. If you are planning to get a permanent hair reduction laser removal treatment and looking out for a reputed surgeon in Ludhiana, Punjab, then your search ends here. Refine Aesthetic Clinic is one of the renowned cosmetic surgery clinics in Ludhiana, Punjab.

However, the results were no better than chance, thus no one was awarded the prize. The figure below shows how you can create a clock's escapement using a pendulum.
A weight A table A watch with a second hand or a numeric seconds display on a digital watch For the weight you can use anything. The two ends on the forked side are held one in each hand with the third the stem of the Y pointing straight ahead.
The three-day test of some 30 dowsers involved plastic pipes through which water flow could be controlled and directed. Gregory concluded that the results were a matter of chance or explained by observations from ground surface clues. On the upper floor, each dowser was asked to determine the position of the pipe.
This, I believe, is the first historical reference to dowsing for water. Space them about one meter apart. This is one sidereal day divided by the sine of the latitude. How are they useful? This is the period of the pendulum. Pendulums can be found in swing sets, grandfather clocks, swinging a baseball bat, and the circus trapeze.
One rod is held in each hand, with the short arm of the L held upright, and the long arm pointing forward. What is the total time that each pendulum swings? The solution was found by a 12m wide motorised see-saw mounted on the main frame.
How different are the two periods? How to let go the pendulums at the same time Underneath this see-saw 15 electromagnets can be activated to pick up the pendulums and pull them upwards.
Once someone noticed this fact about pendulums, it was realized that you could use the phenomenon to create an accurate clock. This is where the fun starts… A brief overview of the issues we encountered and the solutions to tackle them, can be found below.
Students should reproduce the distances they used in the earlier experiment, Testing Falling, for the amplitude and length of string. The first step is to accurately measure the swinging period of each independent pendulum.
Students should have been able to arrive at the following conclusions: At this point, students should understand that gravitational forces cause the pendulum to move. Instead of changing the length of the string, change the number of weights attached to the string or the initial angle of the string.
The smaller the angle, the shorter the period will be. Each pendulum has its own set of 3 bearings, one cylidrical main bearing and two flat bearings to prevent the shaft from horizontal movement.
The main theory behind the phenomenon can also be found here. Today pendulums have many applications, including measuring local gravity and helping guide ships and aircrafts.
The dowsers had to tell whether water was running through each pipe. Press the "Start" button of the stopwatch just at the moment when the pendulum is going through its deepest point.
Ashish 2 years ago Prev Article Next Article As a child, I often wondered how pendulum clocks managed to continue swinging back and forth for so long.
Glass or plastic rods have also been accepted. Raine failed to dowse the location of a buried kiln that had been identified by a magnetometer. Count the number of swings again through the same or second time period. What happens if you start the pendulum in an upside down position of degrees?For example, if the pendulum is swinging toward the left and passes through the center position as shown in the figure on the right, then as the pendulum continues toward the left the left-hand stop attached to the pendulum will release its tooth.
Length of the pendulum-Changing the length of a pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of the pendulum.
Longer pendulums swing with a lower frequency than shorter pendulums, and thus have a longer period. The Foucault pendulum (English: / f uː ˈ k oʊ / foo-KOH; French pronunciation:) or Foucault's pendulum is a simple device named after French physicist Léon Foucault and conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the Earth's fmgm2018.com pendulum was introduced in and was the first experiment to give simple, direct evidence of the earth's rotation.
How it works The Large Pendulum Wave is a kinetic light art installation based on physical laws. There are no tricks (such as additional motors) involved. The Pendulum Wave is a physical phenomenon based on a number of independent pendulums that are very accurately adjusted concerning swinging period (or frequency).
On a steady. Scientific American is the essential guide to the most awe-inspiring advances in science and The back-and-forth motion of a swing is an example of a pendulum. We see pendulums in other areas. The Unbelievable Pendulum Catch – SICK Science!

Tomlinson Group > News > Tomlinson's new asphalt roller will increase longevity of pavements
Tomlinson's new asphalt roller will increase longevity of pavements
Ottawa, ON – Tomlinson has launched and successfully tested a new asphalt roller, consisting of Tomlinson TRAK technology. The belt rollers improve water impermeability, resulting in crack-free asphalt and fewer potholes. The design was pioneered by Abd El Halim, a civil engineering professor at Carleton University, also known as the "Professor of Pavement". Tomlinson invested in a $500,000 project to develop the first prototype. The team, in consultation with El Halim, retrofitted a traditional asphalt roller with Tomlinson TRAK belt rollers instead of twin steel drums, similar to a snowmobile design. The belt spreads the weight of the compacting machine over a larger area, preventing cracks in the freshly laid asphalt. In November 2017 Tomlinson used the machine to resurface a lane of Didsbury Road. The belt-rolled pavement outperformed the cylinder-rolled surface in a head-to-head test of water permeability.
The Ministry of Transportation discovered that a pavement which lasted just one year longer would save the province approximately $50 million annually. It is now developing water permeability standards that will be specified in new road contracts in the future, meaning contractors will need to lay crack-free asphalt. Tomlinson is engineering a second roller, which it plans to use on a 42-kilometre paving project on a highway in the Bancroft, ON, area later this year. This modified roller will also use Tomlinson TRAK rather than traditional steel cylinders.

Atlantic Canada > Federal Election
Coast guard takes a balanced approach to icebreaking program
Diane Crocker · Multimedia Journalist | Posted: June 6, 2014, midnight | Updated: Sept. 30, 2017, 4:50 a.m. | 2 Min Read
The Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker George R. Pearkes is shown.
When it comes to the Canadian Coast Guard's icebreaking program, Paul Veber said it can be hard to set an exact budget.
"We don't have any set budget per se for the ice program because the fleet is funded to be operational to deliver all the programs the coast guard delivers," said Veber, the superintendent of ice operations for the Atlantic region.
As a core program of the Coast Guard, Veber said commercial vessels pay a marine service fee that includes icebreaking, but provincial ferries are exempt from that.
Veber said the icebreakers are also in position to provide search-and-rescue coverage, navigation aids and to lift and place buoys.
During the winter season, ice officers at the Atlantic ice operation centre in St. John's answer calls for assistance. The season can run from early December to as late as late June or early July.
"We have somebody to answer the phone 24-hours a day until the ice goes," said Veber.
The plan for any given year is based on consultation with the Canadian Ice Service and on expectations from the year before. Based on that, a plan is made for deployment of the ships.
"Obviously, the development of ice isn't aware of our plans, so we have to adjust the plan as the season progresses."
This year the service saw an early start in November which meant the program had to jump ahead to ensure icebreakers were in place. In November the ice service does provide more of a glimpse of what the upcoming season will look like and from there, Veber said, the coast guard starts to work with the plan to make adjustments.
While icebreaking is a core program, Veber said search and rescue is the number-one priority of the Coast Guard ships.
"When it comes to actual ice taskings, passenger ferries that are in ice are the next priority," he said. "We have to have to make sure the ferries are moving, but commercial traffic has to keep moving as well, or else we'd be facing situations where communities have fuel shortages, or mines or production plants have to shut down."
The Atlantic region has eight icebreakers in its fleet. Four are stationed around the Gulf of St. Lawrence servicing the Labrador and Quebec Lower North Shore, P.E.I. to Magdalen Islands and the Marine Atlantic ferries running between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Icebreakers are also located outside of the Gulf on the east and northeast coasts of this province and in Sydney.
