Q: Why compiler cannot deduce template template argument? I want to write a function that takes a generic container with any type and prints it.
Let's leave for a moment that it won't work for some associative containers and focus on the issue:
template<template<typename> typename Cont, typename T>
void print(const Cont<T>& cont)
{
   for (const auto it : cont)
   {
      cout << it << " ";
   }
   cout << endl;
}

int main()
{
   vector<string> v;
   print(v);
}

The error states:
error C2672: 'print': no matching overloaded function found
error C3207: 'print': invalid template argument for 'Cont', class template expected

Can anyone please explain why the compiler cannot deduce the types here?
Even when I explicitly state print<vector<string>>(v)?

A: std::vector has more than one class-template-args.
template<
    class T,                // -----------> you have mentioned!
    class Allocator = std::allocator<T>  // -----> this didn't!
> class vector;

But you have provided only one. This is the reason for the no matching overloaded compiler error.
In order to fix the issue, you need to provide the variadic args in the template template arg.
template<template<typename...> typename Cont, typename T>
//       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
void print(const Cont<T>& cont)
{
   for (const auto& it : cont) {
      std::cout << it << " ";
   }
   std::cout << std::endl;
}

(See a demo)

However, you could have done this simply
template <typename Cont>
void print(const Cont& cont)
{
   // ...
}

Or like the standard way, passing the begin and end iterator of the container to the function
#include <algorithm>  // std::copy
#include <iterator>   // std::iterator_traits

template<typename Iterator>
constexpr void print(const Iterator begin, const Iterator end) noexcept
{
   using ValueType = typename std::iterator_traits<Iterator>::value_type;
   std::copy(begin, end, std::ostream_iterator<ValueType>(std::cout, " "));
   std::cout << "\n";
}

and call it like
print(v.begin(), v.end());

A: std::vector is defined as
template<
    class T,
    class Allocator = std::allocator<T>
> class vector;

std::vector is a class template with two template parameters. It does not match
the template template parameter of your function.
Change it to
template <typename Cont>
void print(const Cont& cont)
{
    for (const auto& elem : cont) {
        std::cout << elem << " ";
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;
}

You can deduce T from the container, if that is necessary.

Why do elephants hardly get cancer?
Researchers worldwide are looking for the healthier and safer longer life. They also research the aging and degeneration processes in animals..
Man, live as long as we do, but hardly get cancer.
That means ... elephants can live enjoy much longer!
The incidence rate for cancer is currently 40% in humans, increasing. In addition, the older we get, the risk of disease increases dramatically. In aging research, we know that the older we get, cell damage is continuous increase.
Over the years, damage accumulates in the DNA and that leads to Diseases.
In elephants, scientists have found 38 genes that can repair damaged DNA. We humans only own 2 of them. That's why elephants live healthier!
The secret of health therefore depends on the regular repair of our cells.
If our cells are repaired on a regular basis, we, too, can LONGER life enjoying.
How can we benefit from this knowledge?
make sure that our DNA is repaired daily!
The resveratrol molecules are very sensitive to oxygen, so we need microencapsulated resveratrol.
Eternity is until 250 times more effective than Resveratrol in capsule form!
The human body is a true marvel. He is able to repel damaged cells and replace them with new ones. As a result, he stays healthy and can protect himself from diseases.
However, this power of cell regeneration depends on the healthy function of our stem cells!
Any defect in the body (such as injuries, fractures, cancers, etc.) will release adult stem cells in the spinal cord. Through the bloodstream, the stem cells are led to the corresponding defect site in the body. There daughter cells form and multiply, which then repair the defect.
As we get older, our stem cells lose their potency and can no longer replicate efficiently.
A 70-year-old person has only about 20% of the stem cells in the body that were available to him as a child.
Therefore, the body repairs only the most necessary defects with advancing age.
Without stem cells that replace old cells, we start to get older, sicker and more frail.
How can we manage this aging process?
This is where the latest development from Sisel comes into play.
The herbal active substance with the familiar name resveratrol is contained in larger quantities in the shells of grapes and in red wine. It was discovered 70 years ago, but then fell into oblivion until the 1990s.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have found in animal experiments that the organism mobilizes survival genes in starvation situations, which slow down cell aging with their high cytoprotective effect. Further research has shown that these survival genes are mainly activated by resveratrol, and not only during starvation.
Because resveratrol is both water and fat soluble, it probably provides significantly more antioxidant protection than other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, which are either water or fat soluble. Of particular importance is the ability to specifically prevent the deleterious change (oxidation) of LDL cholesterol that would cause this cholesterol to become lodged in the vessel walls. In this way, an essential factor for the development of arteriosclerosis and other serious cardiovascular diseases can be minimized. At the same time Resveratrol counteracts a clumping of the platelets and thus significantly improves the fluidity of the blood. By activating enzymes called sirtuins, the natural active ingredient can additionally increase the energy utilization.
In the meantime, a certain preventive effect against cancer, as it is known from other polyphenols, such as those isolated from green tea, seems to be certain. However, according to current knowledge, the most striking effect of the natural substance is the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and the strengthening of the immune system due to its high antioxidant capacity.

Twenty-five men and women were accused. Nineteen hung to their death on Gallow Hills. One suffocated under bone-crushing stones. All believed to possess the power of witchcraft.
In 1962 the fear of witchcraft is spreading around Salem Village. While those who are accused and sentenced face death, everyone else faces the risk of accusations placed upon them.
As Emmalynn Hawthorne, the daughter of a woman hung for witchcraft, places a bouquet of flowers upon her mother's grave, a circle of black roses sprouts out of thin air. Dark magic, the roses strike fear through her heart when Mary Pruett and the handsome, James DeKane spy upon her as the pass along the traveling road. Emmalynn flees and her panic soon turns into terror as another vine of black roses sprouts and grows throughout the inside of her home. Is she a witch? Will she be the next accused?
James DeKane has secrets of his own--ones that could prove deadly for him and anyone he holds dear. At fault for the untimely death of his parents, he must protect his hidden brother and dying sister, all while fearing that the haunting prophecy bestowed upon him at birth will come to pass. Desperate and fighting the monster deep inside of him, he's searching for the one love who can alter his destiny.

Listening in the same concert to mezzosoprano Anne Sofie von Otter and Kristian Bezuidenhout, period keyboard specialist, is a true privilege. Generally speaking, in Lieder-based concerts, great voices are accompanied by lesser-known yet sound vocals. The formula consisting in gathering top-level artists increases expectations and guarantees a substantial dose of creativity on stage, on performing some of the most interesting works by such composers as Mozart and Schubert. Separated by a time gap of a few decades, these artists coincide in their exceptional ability to create melodies and their sensitiveness in dealing with sounds.
Composers Steve Reich, Phillip Glass or Arvo Pärt share a common denominator: the reverence and influence of their work on contemporary composers like Max Richter, Bryce Dessner or –in the present case– Jóhann Jóhannsson.
The Icelandic composer, whose career has been extensively recorded on the classic label Deutsche Grammophon, delves gradually into the suggestion of vital ambiences, into the spelling-out of moods that listeners recognize as their own. It is an unquestionable achievement to be able to trigger such emotions, a feat that has materialized as soundtrack composer (for such relevant films as Arrival, by Dennis Villeneuve, or Mother, by Daren Aronofsky). The concert in the Auditori features Orphée, a startlingly minimalistic work, not at odds with expressiveness.
The lightness of the plot of L'elisir d'amore by Gaetano Donizetti, an opera composed at an unusually fast rate, shines with a most suitable mise-en-scene.
Mario Gas encourages the artists' freedom of movements, in this comedy of induced love affairs, a coarse anticipation of the finer version popularized by Wagner decades later, after Tristan und Isolde (an opera recently programmed by the Liceu with an astonishing success). This other side of the same reality narrates the everyday experience of humans, hardly comparable to gods, their hopes and their petty miseries, trying to come to terms or cope with their frustrations. A comedy for laughing at everything and everyone –even ourselves – and enjoying the melodic eloquence of Donizzetti.
as well as the shared complicity with the orchestra, which blatantly elevates the piano as its main protagonist, as in the case of the finest Concerto no. 1, op. 15 by Beethoven. Internationally renowned, the Chinese pianist is accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, in the last decades conducted by some of the most prestigious baton masters, some of them being Claudio Abbado or Nikolaus Harnoncourt. The reduced-format ensemble, its flexibility and accuracy, will facilitate the performance of a dynamic and inspirational work composed by Mendelssohn with Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream in mind. Unfettered music and magic in a concert that will amaze its audience.
The Vienna Philharmonic is one of the few orchestras that hardly need any introduction.
Added to its history, reputation and finest quality of its performances, on this occasion we count on the leadership of the baton of Gustavo Dudamel, passionate and communicative conductor, with a special gift for major scores, those pushing to the limits orchestra resources. The works programmed in the Auditori feature Adagio from Symphony No. 10 by Gustav Mahler and the Symphonie Fantastique by Héctor Berlioz, and fit perfectly Dudamel's musical spirit. A tremendous display of sound creativity, an opportunity we should not miss. Without doubt, this is surely one of the best concerts of the music season.
Picasso Museum, until 28th January.
Among the many visits to Barcelona made by Picasso, the one in 1917 is endowed with a special relevance, in that it marks a transition. No longer the young prodigy, Picasso has become a painter acclaimed in Paris, commissioned to collaborate in major projects, like the sets and costumes for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes's Parade. The project brings him back to the Catalan capital city together with ballet dancer Olga Khokhlova, who later became his first wife. The Picasso Museum of Barcelona offers until 28th January a well-documented display of his production at the time. The exposition combines cubist paintings (Blanquita Suárez) with more classical ones (Olga Khokhlova in mantilla), as well as works that encompass both styles, which reveal a constant evolution and critical revision of Picasso's production.
The violation of the classic framework, or paradigm consisting in balance and well-defined forms is accompanied by some 20th century creators by a certain compulsion to reproduce the image.
In Joan Ponç' work, an outstanding co-founder and member of the collective Dau al set, we can appreciate a clear explosion of creativity: the colour acquires bold combinations and the figures tend to de-figuration, even with self-portraits. The critical revisiting hinted at by the artist, as an activity of leisure or drama, allows to tell stories involving humankind of all times and ages. The angle of this revisiting, however, is ferociously intimate, one where its creator is exposed before his fellow human beings.
It is common knowledge that some of the most relevant Avant-garde creators resorted to African ritualistic art for inspiration, in an attempt to model their innermost concerns, not easily verbalizable in the early 20th century.
Lesser known is the influence of works from Mesopotamia, the fertile area where the origins of civilization are supposed to be located. The objects in this exposition have succeeded in establishing a link between shapes and proportions of sculptures found in archaeological sites and the art production of Moore, Miró or De Kooning, an art that goes far beyond figurativism.
The work that opened up the gates of fame to the most iconic sculptor of modernity, Auguste Rodin, can be admired until the last Sunday of the present month in Fundación Mapfre.
Inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy –its most gruesome section – the project The Gate of Hell is a catalogue of tortures and suffering inflicted on those who had led stray lives. All humankind seems to be doomed to this dark fate, which nevertheless causes admiration and even aesthetic pleasure on the spectator. Not surprisingly do details arise from everywhere, almost infinite human bodies are displayed, in a stylish exercise of matter. The symbolism of the gate, as the distinguishing mark, that separates and reunites two different worlds, does not cease to affect human beings, even in our present times, in which intercommunication seems to be a natural reality. The exposition also contains a series of objects (sketches, photographs, prototypes) that help contextualize this capital masterpiece.
An excellent idea, organising an exposition about the origins of the European Civilization based on one of the main concepts for the ancient and classical Greek society.
Paired with veneration for knowledge, the search for truth, also known as "philosophy" in Plato's times, physical exercise was an essential part of the Greeks' formation, or paideia. Together with public debates, the exchange of ideas in the agora through dialectics, rivalry was an essential feature in terms of body and competition. Like in battles, sports achievements allowed to establish a link between the most prominent men and deities. Objects from the impressive collection of the British Museum illustrate how care for the body and the soul –and their public tests– are two sides of a cosmic vision which, despite different time-related features, still remains to the present moment.

Undercover Agent Purposefully Raised Alert of Threat of Bundy Ranch Attack
Tim Brown September 29, 2017
This is not the first time we've heard this kind of infiltration inside the Bundy Ranch.
The first time came from OathKeepers head Stewart Rhodes who said there was an imminent drone strike on Bundy Ranch even though there was no evidence of such an attack.
Incidentally, while many at Bundy Ranch who were armed and those who just reported what was taking place, like Pete Santilli, are in jail facing life in prison, Rhodes remains free and even has attacked those who stood at Bundy Ranch Rhodes has also been outed by anonymous sources as the one who claimed there was an imminent drone strike on Bundy Ranch. Makes you sort of wonder whose side he is actually on… seeing as he was not found to be in a conspiracy or have any weapons charges against him.
Photo -Stewart – Rhodes – Bundy – Ranch – What – Is – That – Tucked – In – His – Waistband -? –
Rhodes will probably be angry at me for this post, after the only time I spoke to him through his profanity-laced insults via phone. So be it!
It's ok, last time I heard from Stewart Rhodes it was for calling him out on his obvious hypocrisy of what he promotes and his stand down on the issue of the Pima County Sheriff's Office, which has employed his family members, gunning down American veteran Jose Guerena on bogus drug charges in the middle of the day and leaving him to bleed out.
Now, Guerilla Media Network's Deb Jordan presents an undercover agent who purposefully raised the threat of an impending attack during the Bundy Ranch siege in 2014 with Cliven Bundy's daughter, Bailey.
Jordan reports:
During the first trial in Las Vegas, Nevada against Bundy Ranch protestors caught up in a surprising show of force by Federal Law Enforcement, the FBI admitted on the stand that 1,000 FBI and other Federal officers were assigned to surveil the Bundy family and their closest followers on social media. One of those agents was Robyn Kirkham, a Bureau of Land Management Agent who under the direction of former BLM (SAC) Daniel P. Love, began her surveillance sometime in January of 2014. Dan Love was recently fired from his position of Special Law Enforcement with the Bureau Of Land Management for misconduct and various other criminal acts, including directing evidence custodians to procure him choice ancient artifacts collected during raids on collectors so he could give them to friends, which included agents in the FBI.
BLM Agent Robyn Kirkham, known as "Alex Branson on FaceBook", contacted Bailey Bundy Logue in March of 2014 on Facebook. Bailey, who is the daughter of Cliven Bundy, says that in those messages Agent Kirkham tells her she is involved in a group of "like minded" people in Cedar City, Utah, and would like to help the Bundy family with protests they may be planning against the Bureau of Land Management's upcoming cattle impoundment. She then ask if there are any plans coming up to protest —

The messages take on a more ominous feel after Kirkham tells Bailey Bundy that she is good friends with someone inside the Las Vegas Metro Police Department who is sympathetic to the Bundy cause. She routinely alerts Cliven's daughter that intel from inside Metro PD says, "lots of cops" are coming down there and the BLM is starting to get "VERY" busy. At one point Kirkham tells her that the inside person is now advising her that the BLM had an MRAP delivered to the compound, and drops the definition of what MRAP means;
Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP; /ˈɛmræp/EM-rap) is a term for United States militaryvehicles produced as part of the MRAP program that are designed specifically to withstand improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and ambushes.
Bailey Bundy says that she had no reason to suspect Alex Branson was not legitimate because many locals were keeping an eye on the situation for them, giving them promises of support, and information. "Looking at those messages now makes me angry to think Alex Branson was setting us up from the beginning to believe we were in danger just so she could see how we would react and find out what we would do next" says Bailey . She goes on to say;
I wasn't afraid because I didn't know I should be afraid at the time if that makes any sense, I just thought she was trying to help; but it did make me sick to re-read these messages knowing now what she was trying to do.

One Week With: 2020 Lincoln Aviator Black Label Grand Touring
It's way more than OK, boomer.
Billy RehbockWriter, Photographer
For much of the last several decades, Lincoln's haven't had much clout. Cadillac, on the other hand, had and has the Escalade, the preferred ride of both celebrities and the supposed cool moms in the elementary school pickup line. Even a grade schooler could tell that the Navigator and Aviator were second fiddle to General Motors' high-end offerings, at least as far as ostentatiousness was concerned.
Lincoln has now made great strides to improve its reputation, thanks to an assault of new products bearing fresh names and sharp styling. The Aviator, particularly in its Black Label Grand Touring guise, is perhaps the most well-honed weapon in Lincoln's new-car onslaught. This three-row SUV still shares its platform with the Ford Explorer, but you are hard pressed to find many visual cues to give away that fact, whether inside or out.
Our 2020 Lincoln Aviator Black Label Grand Touring press car's sheetmetal remains emblematic of Lincoln's new form. It has a square jaw and a grille that manages to avoid gaping wide in the same way as luxury rivals BMW, Genesis, and even Volvo. Its roofline drops off with an elegant taper, making it look ever so much more elegant than its larger stablemate, the Navigator. Those who hate chrome may be appalled by its styling, but in my opinion the silvery strips highlight its body lines and endow it with an overall appearance not unlike that of a concept car. In no way does it give away its shared platform with the Explorer, beyond having swept-back rear-wheel-drive proportions.
On the inside, the only big tell that this product has anything to do with Ford is a reskinned version of the Sync 3 infotainment system, which happens to be a great interface - no harm there. Outside of the screen, materials are phenomenal. Soft-touch surfaces wrap much of the cabin, and Aviator's interior appointments depart from Ford in an even greater way than the Navigator's cabin. As someone who's not typically a fan of piano black surfaces, the Aviator's shiny plastic seems to be executed beyond my expectation. There's also a great bit of polished metal in the cabin, thanks to the so-called Flight Theme, adding an overall aesthetic that made my younger brother say, "Woah!" when he peeked inside the car. This interior is on par with the Aviator's German rivals; the fit and finish are just that good.
Its dynamics don't belie its athletic appearance, either. Our test car boasts a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine under the hood, which turns out 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It also gets some help in the form of a permanent-magnet synchronous AC motor, which provides 101 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, for a combined output of 494 hp and 630 lb-ft. On the road, that translates to a lot of capability. It's all routed through a 10-speed automatic gearbox that works in tandem with a hybrid transmission.
Off the line, this translates to a 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds. That's a huge feat, literally, because the Aviator tips the scales at a hefty 5,673 pounds. Freeway pulls feel just as forceful. In fact, Lincoln's SUV feels a bit like a pugilist in a suit, brandishing its strength in a package that conceals its might.
I drove the Aviator Grand Touring both with and without charge in the battery. When charged, it can drive entirely on electric power at speeds up to 80 mph. When depleted, acceleration is still quite mighty. I also was able to gain about a mile of charge for every 20 minutes, and it's great to get some more torque after there's juice in the battery. Unfortunately, the Aviator can only charge with a Level 2 charger, meaning that I was only able to get a mile back of its 23-mile total range in a 20-minute session.
I quickly forgot about this drawback when I hit the road again. Thanks to its adaptive suspension and multiple drive modes, it's easy to configure the Aviator to ride in a manner most pleasurable for a given situation. I tended to switch the drive mode over to "Excite—sport mode in regular car-speak—as did our Ed Tahaney when he reviewed the Corsair Reserve. This makes the steering a lot more responsive and stiffens up the suspension. The Aviator becomes pretty nimble in this drive setting, and I was able to chuck the big SUV through almost any freeway ramp I could find with the utmost confidence. It's easy to appreciate that in general Lincoln has set out to make luxury cars that drive well without also expecting them to also miraculously be track rats as well. The envelop of performance seems focused on what's attainable within a reasonable limit on the street, meaning that very little comfort or convenience is sacrificed in the name of sporty driving.
Everything I've raved about comes standard as part of the Lincoln Aviator Black Label trim level. As equipped, this test car bares a price tag of $88,895 after destination and delivery charges. For the money, it's loaded to the teeth. Just about every expected luxury feature is present, from heated, cooled, and massaging seats to soft-close doors. The B&O sound system is enhanced by the whisper-quiet cabin, and the air suspension offers a well-damped but compliant ride. Not to mention, the Aviator has a robust compliment of parking technology, including a 360-degree-view parking camera
For the sake of comparison, build a Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription in the online configurator. It's one of the Lincoln's closest competitors, due to its hybrid system. In order to match its features to the Aviator, the price ended up soaring to just more than $91,000. When I price-checked similarly equipped German cars, these too zoomed past the Aviator's MSRP with ease. Not only is Lincoln's offering exceedingly well-executed, but its top-trim level delivers on value as well.
From my full week with the Aviator, it has become apparent Lincoln is working hard to ditch the reputation it rightfully earned in the '90s and 2000s. The Aviator Grand Touring succeeds by embracing new technology and blending it with traditional luxury. The mix of electrification and old-school gas-powered muscle offers experiences that range from silent cruising to brutal acceleration. High-quality materials, state-of-the-art safety systems, and modern convenience features leave little to be desired. Now it's Cadillac's turn to start chasing clout.

The Senate Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), a proposal to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), includes a provision to create new association health plan options for small employers and self-employed individuals. These so-called "small business health plans" (SBHPs) would be considered part of the large group market, which has different rules than the small group market. In particular, the ACA requirement that premiums cannot vary based on health status does not apply in the large group market. Neither does the requirement for policies to cover ten categories of essential health benefits. If enacted, this provision would considerably disrupt the small group market because small employers could seek lower rates or less comprehensive coverage in an SBHP when their employees are healthy, but theoretically move back to regular small group market plans if an employee becomes ill or if the group wants more comprehensive benefits. This type of adverse selection could result in significant premium increases and instability in the small group market. The provision could disrupt the non-group market in a similar manner because it would permit self-employed individuals (in states that choose to regulate very small groups of one as small employers) to join SBHPs when they are healthy or want few benefits, but move back to regular non-group coverage if their health or circumstances change.
Large group market rules apply. A SBHP is defined as a fully insured group health plan, sponsored by a certified entity, and offered by a health insurer in the large group market. Several key requirements for small group market insurers do not apply in the large group market. Insurers in the small group market cannot consider the health or claims of a small group's employees, and must cover the 10 categories of essential health benefits (though states could waive that requirement under the BCRA). These rules do not apply in the large group market. The BCRA sets no standards for SBHPs in terms of what benefits must be covered or how premiums would be set for small firms that want to participate. For example, the insurer covering the SBHP could medically screen small firms applying, and charge relatively low rates for healthy groups but very high rates for groups with sick employees. In addition, the insurer could consider a group's health and claims at renewal and give them considerably higher rate increases than other groups. The same practices could apply to self-employed individuals. Small businesses could join and enroll in SBHPs, as could self-employed individuals with no other participating employees (i.e., groups of one) in states that choose to regulate such arrangements as small group health insurance.
Federally regulated. The sponsor of a SBHP must be certified by the Secretary of Labor. Federal certification is deemed approved after 90 days unless the Secretary denies the application for cause. To do business in a state, a certified SBHP must provide written notice of its certification to the insurance regulator in every state in which it will operate. The federal government also has enforcement authority over the business practices of SBHPs. The bill includes broad preemption language stating that federal standards "shall supersede any and all State laws insofar as they may now or hereafter preclude a health insurance issuer from offering health insurance coverage in connection with a [certified] small business health plan." This appears to prohibit a state from requiring that a SBHP be regulated as small group coverage and may preempt other state insurance rules, as well. The Secretary is required to coordinate with the State in which a particular SBHP is domiciled regarding the exercise of federal authority to certify a SBHP and enforce federal standards. The Secretary is also required to ensure that only one domicile state will be recognized with respect to any particular SBHP. The bill does not provide that the rules of the domicile state will supersede the laws of other states.
Nondiscrimination standards. The entity that sponsors a SBHP must be organized for a purpose other than providing health benefits, although it appears that providing health benefits could be the primary purpose of the organization. For example, a sponsoring entity could be a bona fide trade association, organized primarily for professional or industry-related purposes. Or it could adopt broadly inclusive membership standards to permit virtually any small group or individual to join. In addition, the sponsor of the SBHP is prohibited from conditioning membership on the size of its member groups. The bill does not prohibit a sponsoring entity from conditioning membership on the health status of small businesses; a nondiscrimination provision in the bill states that a requirement not to discriminate against employers and eligible employees is satisfied if the SBHP makes information about all coverage options readily available to any eligible small employer.
Under the BCRA, the SBHP provisions become effective 1 year after the date of enactment and the Secretary of Labor is required to issue implementing regulations no later than 6 months after the date of enactment.
Premium instability for small businesses and self-employed individuals – Because SBHPs would be able to set premiums for small firm and self-employed members based on health and risk status, it could be possible for SBHP members to obtain lower premiums for coverage as long as their workers and their family members are healthy. However, in the event a covered individual becomes seriously ill or injured, nothing under federal law would prevent the SBHP insurer from raising the premium for that small employer or self-employed individual, even to unaffordable levels. The affected small employer or self-employed person might then try to seek coverage in the traditional small group market or non-group market, where health status rating is prohibited, though as discussed below, premiums there could also become unaffordable.
Increased premiums in traditional small group and non-group markets – Selection of coverage options, based on which market rules are most advantageous at the time, is sometimes called adverse selection. The asymmetry of rules applied to SBHPs and the traditional small group market would tend to segment small employers based on risk, steering more expensive groups to the traditional market and driving up community rated premiums. This could lead to premiums in the traditional small group market becoming much higher for employers who need to seek coverage there. Eventually, the impact of selection could force insurers to stop offering traditional small group coverage because they could not predict the risk of potential enrollees. The SBHPs would also be open to self-employed individuals in states that permit very small groups of one to buy small group coverage, as 14 states did prior to the ACA. In 2014, one in five marketplace consumers was a small business owner or self-employed. As a result, adverse selection from SBHPs could also affect premiums in the individual market.
Lack of clear regulatory authority – The BCRA requires that SBHPs must be fully insured group health plans, suggesting that states would continue to have regulatory authority over the insurance product itself, for example, to apply and enforce state standards related to risk based capital and solvency. However, preemption language in the bill is broad, and does not specify which state laws could still be enforced, including for example, laws relating to qualifications of SBHP sponsoring entities, or the covered benefits or rating practices under such plans. At a minimum, it seems legal challenges could arise if states would try to regulate SBHPs more closely. In the past, in response to federal proposals to create new small group insurance arrangements that would not be subject to all state small group market regulation, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the American Academy of Actuaries, and others have raised concerns that market fragmentation and harm to small businesses and consumers could result.
The Senate SBHP proposal sets up competing and unequal regulatory regimes for small group health insurance that could undermine the traditional market. It also would potentially increase non-group premiums because healthy self-employed people could leave that market while people with health problems would not qualify for SBHP rates. In addition, small groups and the self-employed could choose less comprehensive policies while they are healthy, but move to more comprehensive plans if their health changed (if they remain available). Such adverse selection could drive up the cost of coverage in these markets, making health insurance less affordable for sick individuals and small groups who would have to rely on them, and potentially not available at all.

The M621 in Leeds.
Highways England has been carrying out drainage work between junction 1 and junction 7 of the route since November.
And from Monday, the project will start its second phase to install a concrete barrier in the central reservation, alongside flood defence work.
However, while the work is carried out lanes on the M621 between the junctions will be narrowed, and speed limit will be reduced from 50mph to 30mph in the anticlockwise direction (M1 junction 43 to Leeds city centre).
The same restrictions will be in place in the clockwise direction from Monday, February 26.
Highways England Project Manager Esref Ulas said: "We recognise that this is a very busy route and that is why we are carrying out these vital safety improvements.
"We would like to thank drivers in advance for their patience with our scheme so far and encourage them to allow extra time for their journeys – particularly at rush hour."
The M621 will remain closed overnight in either direction between junctions 1 and 7, and signed diversions will be in place.
The scheme is due to be completed in May 2018.

Boeing 737 Max 8 outlawed worldwide after Ethiopia, deadly crash
March 14, 2019 July 25, 2019 AyushiLeave a Comment on Boeing 737 Max 8 outlawed worldwide after Ethiopia, deadly crash
A host of airlines around the world have rollout precautionary bans and grounded their fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. On Sunday, an aircraft of the same model operated by Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302 crashed shortly after takeoff in Addis Ababa killing all 157 passengers and crew on board, including four Indians.
Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane crashed for the second time since last few months. In October 2018, an aircraft operated by Lion Air came down, killing over 180 people in Indonesia just moments after takeoff. Both these uncertainties involving Boeing 737 Max 8 jets, has killed 346 people in mere five months and has coerced a raft of countries across the globe to play safe and ground these aircraft.
According to AFP news agency, "There are about 350 MAX 8 US manufactured aircraft currently operating around the world". It has been less than four months the plane in recent crash got manufactured.
Despite the aviation giant's assurances that the plane is safe and reliable, from the UK to Australia almost every country moved to ban Boeing 737 MAX. Britain, the European Union, China, and India also joined other countries in forbidding the plane from their airspace. Besides, at least 25 carriers around the world, including Cayman Airways, South African Airline Comair, Aeromexico, Argentina's Aerolineas Argentinas, and Brazil's Gol Airlines, have independently decided to suspend operations of this aircraft.
In India, Jet Airways and SpiceJet are the two airlines operating Boeing 737 Max 8s. Jet Airways owns five of these planes, which are currently grounded. While SpiceJet has around 12 such aircraft in its fleet and has suspended after the fatal crash. This will be effective until all doubts are cleared and appropriate safety measures and modifications are undertaken to ensure the flight operation safely," said the ministry.
On the contrary, the US has so far denied taking any action against the giant's best-selling aircraft. The worldwide against the aircraft has mounted pressure on Boeing to prove that the MAX planes are safe. The company stated that 'By April, it will be deploying flight software updates that could declaim the faulty sensor issues.'

My today's post is dedicated to lipsticks and the latest trend.
Lipsticks have always fascinated me. So many colors, textures, finishes, there seems to be no end to the lipstick genre. We have witnessed glossy lips, matte lips, creamy lips, bright lips, soft n*de lips and now comes the trend of metallic and glitter lips.
Glitter lips look so hot these days, it is one of the most sparkling trend I have ever seen.
Everyone, makeup enthusiasts, famous Instagrammers and even Pat Mc Grath have showcased this glittery lipstick trend. Though I agree that glitter lips are too bold and OTT to carry even on Saturday night outs or parties. But then, once in a while, it is good and surely can be carried. Being bold is good!!
And if Pat Mc Grath launches lip kits for glittery lips and they get sold out in seconds, then obviously it deserves some attention from all of us.
So, sometime ago, I decided to do glittery lips but with some twist. Since it is not a trend you can carry daily, I decided for some offbeat colors for this look. I chose GREEN.
· I applied foundation onto the lips first.
· I sharpened my Colorbar I-glide pencil and lined my lips with it lightly. Then, when I was satisfied with the shape, I intensified it and filled the eyeliner in my already lined lips.
· Then I applied Glitzfix onto my upper lip first and put the glitter on that with help of one of my Morphe brush. I filled glitter in every gap and everywhere. Similarly, on the lower lip.
Glitter made a hell of a difference. And I loved it, much better than plain lips.
I would also like to mention that the glitter didn't fell. My utmost fear was what if I am gonna eat up atleast half of that glitter or it just flies off everywhere. But thanks to Gorgeous Cosmetics Glitzfix, it did the trick. For the time the glitter was on my lips, say 1-2 hours, it didn't fell and stayed on my lips. Obviously I didn't eat or drink anything.
You can try it yourself in various ways, your own version, with your choice of colors and glitters. Use red, orange, pink, plum, magenta, maroon, brown or any color you like plus the glitter and rock your glittery lipstick. Almost all online cosmetic stores are now having these.
Just one advise, don't forget to use a good quality glue to make the glitter stay in place.
So, don't wait more. When everybody out there can, so can you. Rock on this Glittery trend on Instagram , facebook and dazzle everyone :).
Time time, rock your sparkling lips and not teeth 😉 .
Go out. Be bold. Sizzle.
It looks great on you, dear. The shade of green too is pretty!

Review of mother and daughter's murders could save lives, family hopes
Relatives want an official review of the killing of Laura Mortimer and Ella Dalby to spark better collaboration between police, social services and others
Ella Dalby and her mother Laura Mortimer, murdered in 2018 by Mortimer's partner Christopher Boon.
Yvonne Roberts

Last modified on Sat 15 Jan 2022 15.00 EST
Ella Dalby would have been 16 this summer. She loved Latin American and ballroom dancing. Her parents were separated, but she saw her father, Tom, every weekend, as part of a close extended family. In the early hours of 28 May 2018, in the kitchen of her Gloucester home, Ella, 11, was stabbed 24 times by Christopher Boon, 28, her stepfather.
Ella was trying to protect her mother, Laura Mortimer, 31, whom she adored. Laura was stabbed 18 times in what the judge called "wanton savagery". Boon fled, leaving his and Laura's two younger daughters, aged six and two, alone in the house after telling them that he had killed their mummy and sister.
On Wednesday, a joint investigation known as a domestic homicide review (DHR) and a serious case review – called when a child or vulnerable adult dies or is injured under certain circumstances – will be published, more than three years after the deaths. A DHR is intended to allow lessons to be learned and recommendations made.
Astonishingly, Wednesday's DHR is in its 14th draft and some recommendations have already been implemented. "In the first draft, my daughter was described as an alcoholic, rubbish mum. It was awful," said Mortimer's mother, Hilary Stinchcombe. "Laura had her own successful wedding planning business. She was a wonderful mother. The night she died she'd been to her auntie's pub, but that doesn't make her a drunk. The DHR also had a number of facts wrong, so how can the right lessons be learned?"
After the deaths, Stinchcombe, Ella's paternal grandmother Kim Clements, Ella's aunt Jo Piontek and Sue Haile – an advocate for the charity Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse, (AAFDA), which supports families after a killing – became a formidable quartet battling to establish the truth and reclaim Mortimer's reputation. What they have achieved, supported by Nicole Jacobs, the independent chair of the DHR and now the domestic abuse commissioner for England and Wales, may prove groundbreaking.
"The attitude of the DHR panel when we first turned up with our questions was, 'What on earth are you doing here?'" Clements said. "We, the panel, are here to discuss the loved ones you have lost – but that has nothing to do with you."
"Families are too often pushed to the back of the queue in the DHR process," said Haile, who is completing a PhD on women's voices in DHRs. "Families know stuff that agencies don't," added Frank Mullane, the AAFDA's founder.
Now, Stinchcombe, Piontek and Clements hope that if the DHR's recommendations are widely implemented, Ella's death may yet save other children. Domestic abuse features in 41% of child deaths and stepchildren face a higher risk. For seven years from the age of four, Ella's behavioural problems at school were interpreted as a conduct issue, not a signal that at home she and her mother were under duress.

The family say that the DHR's recommendations tackle the patchy understanding of coercive control demonstrated by the police, social workers, teachers and GPs. Perpetrators of abuse use psychological, emotional, financial, sexual and physical means to isolate, intimidate and invisibly incarcerate a partner. It takes skill to detect a pervasive pattern of abuse and not an alleged sudden "loss of control". So, for Mortimer and Ella, what clues were missed?
Within weeks of meeting Mortimer in 2010, Boon had moved into her home. Within months, she was pregnant. What the family didn't know – and police didn't divulge – is that earlier in 2010, Boon had been given a suspended sentence for assaulting his previous partner and her mother in front of two children.
Between 2011 and 2018, Ella's behaviour became an issue. In school meetings, Boon was always present, while Ella's father was excluded. The DHR calls for clarity in the recording of family relationships and the people involved in decision making.
Boon claimed Ella had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and that she told lies, and he treated her differently from his two biological children. "Ella would often say she didn't like Chris," said Clements. "But when I asked why, she would change the subject. Perhaps she had conflicted loyalties, not wanting to upset us or her mum."
The family subsequently discovered that all of Mortimer's income was going into Boon's account. A fantasist, he was £28,000 in debt. "He hid the back-door key and he and Laura only had one key to the front door," said Piontek. "So she had to be home to let him in." Mortimer often saw her GP and attended hospital with leg, stomach and back pains, but no one asked her about domestic abuse.
The family say an opportunity was lost on Boxing Day, 2014. Ella and her mother, who was in a distressed state, had run to a neighbour. Mortimer said Boon had punched her in the face, but subsequently changed her story and refused to press charges. A social worker saw Boon as a high risk. She called the school, but didn't explain why she was making inquiries. In April, the case was closed. Mortimer could have been given more support – although she have may decided then that remaining in the relationship was safer. In 2017, according to the Femicide Census, 55% of women killed by an ex-partner were murdered in the first month of separation, 87% in the first year.
Prof Jane Monckton Smith in her book, In Control – Dangerous Relationships and How they End in Murder, has identified an eight-stage homicide timeline that begins with the abuser "love bombing" a victim, then moves on to isolation. "I thought she was writing about Boon. It was exactly what happened," said Piontek. The DHR recommends that frontline professionals are trained by Monckton Smith.
In hundreds of DHRs, similar recommendations have been made and ignored. They include improved collaboration between agencies, risk assessment, mental health awareness and management of serial perpetrators. Sophie Naftalin, a solicitor with Bhatt Murphy, has worked on 10 DHRs. She said: "Some DHRS are excellent, but as a lawyer my job is to get to the truth. Unlike a coroner's inquest, where the documents are available to the family, DHRs rely on agencies to self-report. Some may be upfront and truthful; others are not. Even when truthful, the significance of what might be important may not be understood. DHRs give the appearance of investigation and reflection but too often they are a thoroughly blunt tool. That needs to change."
End Femicide: the aims of our campaign
Last year, the Femicide Working Group, a coalition of NGOs and lawyers who support and represent bereaved families in investigations, campaigned for a central repository for all DHRs, investigations into police conduct and coroners' findings and a national oversight mechanism to ensure recommendations are implemented. This is also one of the aims of the Observer's End Femicide campaign, launched with the Femicide Census. The Home Office has now provided funding for a DHR repository alongside which the Domestic Abuse Commissioner's office is developing a national oversight mechanism, which could come into operation this year. "I believe that this new mechanism can help prevent future tragedies," said Jacobs.
Stinchcombe is a fierce defender of her granddaughters' happiness. Both children are receiving therapy. Piontek said of one niece: "We went to the pantomime to see Snow White. She was so upset when a [prop] knife was brought out in the forest she didn't sleep for two nights." Boon is serving 29 years. The little girl's constant refrain is: "I've got 26 more years and then we'll never be able to leave the house again because Chris will be out."
In January 2018, Mortimer learned that Boon had had an affair. In May, days before her death, she said she'd told him to leave the house. Ten days before the killings, her older child said at her school that her father had punched the door and hurt his hand – "It was a bit scary."
"Why didn't the school and social workers and police join up the dots?" said Clements. "If they had, Laura and Ella might still be here."

At least six persons have been confirmed dead in a renewed clash between community youths in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
The victims were killed at different spots in the area bringing the total number of those killed in the renewed crises to about ten in the last two weeks.
It was gathered that the incident took place in the early hours of Monday around Dumoruogbo, Dumurieh, Orumaroh and Jakpa Junction area of Effurun.
The area had been under serious tension since last two weeks following disagreements between some supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress. But it later escalated into clashes between cultists and community leaders in the area, report says.
According to an anonymous source, three of the victims were shot dead in their homes while the remaining three were stabbed and cut with an axe to death by yet to be identified youths in the area.
To this end, soldiers and mobile policemen have been deployed in the area to help restore normalcy.
Confirming the development, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Andrew Aniamaka, claimed five persons were killed in the clash and debunked claims that security operatives were involved in the killings.

Christopher Bailey is an incredible visionary and it has been an amazing experience to work together with him and Juergen to create this series of stories," Adwoa shares in an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK.
Giving models art directive authority in the campaigns they are featured in always adds a layer of authenticity. The different locations scouted for this Burberry shoot offers an insight into Adwoa's everyday life and personal story. The first set of pictures are set in North London where Adwoa was born, and the second set of pictures take place in New York where she currently resides. For the third installation of the campaign, Adwoa is photographed in Accra, Ghana for the first time, a location scouted as a way to pay homage to her West African heritage. "To be in Ghana means coming home. I've been able to bring close friends of mine here, and my grandma and my family have had a taste of what the other part of my life is like," she shares.

Where can ADWORDS conversion tracking code put for both Subscribe By Email and ENewsletter?
Where can ADWORDS conversion tracking code put for both Subscribe By Email and ENewsletter plugins?
That code can actually be dropped into the newsletters themselves, use the text view, rather than visual, and paste the HTML code AdWords provides at the bottom. It doesn't render any text, it just calls a script, so it won't effect how the content looks.
I, actually, see where the e-newsletter generated a success page so I am using the code in that page.
However, I do not see a success page generated by the Subscribe By Email plugin. I ma looking at the Mail template tab in the settings and thought about putting the code in that section. Will it work that way? Can dev create a way to have a regular success page added for it?
Also, for Subscribe By Email, I am using Mandrill and get a success page from their server. Perhaps I can redirect that to my own page etc...any info with redirecting Mandrill success pages (I am using the Mandrill smtp plugin now for all emails from Wordpress).
Hey there...just following up on the above.
I have both ENewsletter and the general confirmation for registration to work with the Adwords conversion tracking. However, I understand that the conversion tracking code for Adwords will not actually work if putting it into the 1st email confirmation code though. How can I create a success landing page the Subscribe By Email plugin as it does not seem to create one as it does similar to the ENewsletter plugin?
If you need any further assistance with this just let us know Greg!
@Tyler Postle hmm...the link is not working for me. The page does not load...on chrome.
Does it work/load for you?
It just loaded right away for me, is it still not loading for you?

The World University Service of Canada (WUSC) is sponsoring Romans Garand, TRU's first student refugee who is currently enrolled in the engineering program. Jasmine McMillen, one of WUSC's co-chairs, said that sponsoring Garand was possible through fundraising and included a lot of open mic nights and bake sales.
"We hadn't quite reached the dollar amount that we needed to sponsor [Garand], but then we were offered a really generous donation from another university out east who is also a part of WUSC and we were able to bring Romans over," McMillen said.
Garand arrived in Canada in September to start the first year of his degree program.
"I've always been fascinated about engineering and love the creativity behind engineering and I want to be among the brains in the engineering department," he said.
Garand is originally from South Sudan but was living in a refugee camp in Kenya before he came to TRU. The application process took almost a year before Garand was accepted and came over to Canada.
"It wasn't easy. It's a very long process. The first turn is getting the right person. They sort through many applicants during that time. Here were 200 and they only needed 20. So, we have to work through a series of interviews where some people get eliminated and then we remain as the lucky ones – I can't say the best because some are the best but they get left out. So, it depends on the luck. The 20 will then have to go through a series of screenings to see if they are medically fit to travel," Garand said.
Garand said that he never thought that he would be chosen for something like this. "I was just trying my luck and luckily, I got it," he said.
Bringing Garand to Canada for a year at TRU was a success for WUSC, and it hopes to continue bringing over student refugees, but the organization's current model of fundraising is both challenging and unsustainable.
McMillen said that right now, the biggest hurdle is reaching a quorum to so that votes at meetings are binding.
"What they'd be voting for is a levy of roughly two dollars on their tuition, and everyone would pay and the money would pool together to offer this opportunity every single year," McMillen said.
As of now, WUSC doesn't have the funds to support Romans for his entire four years at TRU.
"Schools like UBC do have that ability, but if the referendum is successful, it will secure us more funds to also help Romans through the rest of his degree," McMillen said.
McMillen said this program is important for all universities because it helps students play their role in aiding the refugee crisis and bringing the global community together.
"WUSC is stable at roughly around 130 people coming over every year, but we want to help increase that to 131 every year," McMillen said.
Romans doesn't currently have any plans for next year, other than working hard to put his dreams into action.
"I don't think that I have any, aside from pursuing the goal that I want, and that's becoming an engineer," Garand said.

The Deccan thorn scrub forests are a xeric shrubland ecoregion of south India and northern Sri Lanka. Historically this area was covered by tropical dry deciduous forest, but this only remains in isolated fragments. The vegetation now consists of
mainly of southern tropical thorn scrub type forests. These consist of open woodland with thorny trees with short trunks and low, branching crowns; spiny and xerophytic shrubs; and dry grassland. This is the habitat of the great Indian bustard and blackbuck, though these and other animals are declining in numbers; this area was at one time home to large numbers of elephants and tigers. Almost 350 species of bird have been recorded here. The remaining natural habitat is threatened by overgrazing and invasive weeds, but there are a number of small protected areas which provide a haven for the wildlife. Trees in these forests have adapted to not require much water.

Geography
This ecoregion covers the semi-arid portions of the Deccan Plateau, extending across the Indian states of Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu to the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. Only small patches of natural habitat remain, as most of the region has been cleared for grazing.

Climate
The annual rainfall is less than , all falling during the short rainy season, and the area receives no rainfall during the months of November to April. Temperatures can exceed  during the hotter months.

Flora
Today the remaining forest is mostly southern tropical thorn scrub, and also includes patches of the original vegetation, tropical dry deciduous forests.

Southern tropical thorn scrub forests consist of open, low vegetation with thorny trees with short trunks and low, branching crowns that rarely meet to form a closed canopy. The trees grow up to . Typical grasses of the ecoregion include Chrysopogon fulvus, Heteropogon contortus, Eremopogon foveolatus, Aristida setacea, and Dactyloctenium species.

The second storey of the thorn scrub forests in Maharashtra is poorly developed and mainly consists spiny and xerophytic species, mostly shrubs. An ill-defined lower storey can also be seen during the brief wet season. The plant species that dominate the vegetation in these forests are Acacia species, Balanites roxburghii, Cordia myxa, Capparis spp., Prosopis spp., Azadirachta indica, Cassia fistula, Diospyros chloroxylon, Carissa carandas, and Phoenix sylvestris. There are also several other habitat types found in these forests.

The driest, rockiest areas of the ecoregion are covered with a scrub dominated by species of Euphorbia. The soil is usually bare in these areas; however, some grassy growth may also appear during the short monsoon season.

The parts of the ecoregion found in Tamil Nadu receive even less rainfall than most, and the vegetation in these parts is mainly made up of thinly spread thorny forests of Acacia planifrons, with umbrella-shaped crowns.

The remaining patches of forest are also home to a large number of plants, some of medicinal and botanical interest, including an endemic cycad (Cycas beddomei) and Psilotum nudum. A small patch of the tree Shorea talura also exists within the Chittoor forest division, part of which is being maintained as a preservation plot by the Forest Department of Andhra Pradesh.

Finally, the area between the Nallamala and Seshachalam Hills is well known for the red sanders (Pterocarpus santalinus), a rare, endemic tree species that is harvested for the medicinal value of its wood.

Fauna
The dry grasslands that predominate do provide habitat for the native fauna remaining scattered amid the thorn forest. The grasslands of southern Andhra Pradesh support a good population of the great Indian bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) and blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra), although these and other species are declining in number.

The forests used to provide habitat for three prominent mammal species, the Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), the Indian elephant (Elephas maximus indicus), whose populations have recently dwindled and may have even become locally extinct, and the nilgai antelope (Boselaphus tragocamelus).

The ecoregion is home to 96 mammal species, out of which three are considered endemic: split roundleaf bat (Hipposideros schistaceus), Kondana soft-furred rat (Millardia kondana), and Elvira rat (Cremnomys elvira). Other threatened mammal species found in these forests include the tiger, gaur (Bos gaurus), dhole (Cuon alpinus), sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), chousingha (Tetracerus quadricornis), and blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra). Little-known ones like the Slender loris also occur here.

The Deccan thorn scrub forests are home to a richer variety of birds: almost 350 species, of which three are considered near-endemic: Jerdon's courser (Rhinoptilus bitorquatus), Sri Lanka junglefowl (Gallus lafayetii), and yellow-fronted barbet (Megalaima flavifrons). Jerdon's courser is a critically endangered species which was rediscovered in this ecoregion in 1986 after being recorded for the last time in 1900. Other endangered bird species such as the lesser florican (Sypheotides indicus) and Indian bustard can also be found in the ecoregion.

Over 60 species of herpetofauna are known to occur in such forest types. Unique species of amphibians and reptiles do occur here. Such species include the Duttaphrynus hololius, lizards viz. Hemidactylus scabriceps, Hemidactylus reticulatus, Ophisops leschenaultii, Eutropis beddomii and snakes viz. Coluber bholanathi, Chrysopelea taprobanica. Apart from such forms, most of the widespread species of herpetofauna, occurring on a pan-Indian scale, including the endangered Indian star tortoise, Indian chameleon, and Bengal monitor also occur here.

Threats and conservation
The remaining deciduous woodland continues to be cleared for grazing while the pasture that has been created is itself threatened by overgrazing and invasive weeds. One large area of natural forest remains in southern Andhra Pradesh.

Protected areas
9,430 km², or 3%, of the ecoregion is within protected areas. In 1997, there were eleven protected areas that were entirely or partially within the ecoregion, totaling 4,110 km². Current protected areas include:
 Chundikkulam National Park, Sri Lanka (196 km²)
 Daroji Sloth Bear Sanctuary, Karnataka (82.72 km²)
 Ghataprabha Bird Sanctuary, Karnataka (29.8 km²)
 Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary, Maharashtra (8,496 km², extension 400 km²)
