The Firecracker 150 will serve as the final tuneup for the Sportsman division prior to the Martin's Home Heating Sportsman 150 on SpeedWeekend. In addition to drivers being able to dial their cars in for the long run, the top five will also be thinking big picture as they will receive provisional starting position in the Labour Day Weekend Sportsman showcase. While the huge purse for the winner awaits on September 1st, this event could foreshadow who will be running for the $7,500 in three short weeks.
The "front five" have made most of the headlines in the Martin's Home Heating Sportsman division in 2018. The top five in the point standings have won every regular point night features and only Brady Creamer (Miramichi) has been able to best them with that victory coming in the Martin's Home Heating 125 in June. Drew Greenlaw (Eastport, ME) and Curtis Collins (Saint John) have swapped the point lead back and forth all season and each have one feature win on the year. While this race does not pay points based off finishing positions, both young guns will have their radar placed on the checkered flag Saturday.
The O'Blenis sisters, Alexandra and Courtney (Boundary Creek) have lit the lamp a total of five times in feature racing action. Alexandra is the most recent feature winner and has a one win advantage on her sister. Courtney has the advantage on her sister in the championship standings by two points with only Fan Appreciation Night and Night of Champions standing between them and the end of the championship chase.
Jacob Logan (Harvey) has been consistent all season and was rewarded with a victory on July 21st during DMR Auto and Ricky Bobby Night. While Logan is a former Atlantic Champion, he is still searching for his first extended distance victory at his home track.
While the Martin's Home Heating Sportsman stars have the spotlight, the DMR Auto Sales Street Stock, Fredericton Gun Shop Sharp Shooters and the return of the Atlantic Modified Tour will each look to steal the Saturday show.
Santa did not leave Riley Goodwin (McAdam) the greatest of gifts during Christmas in July. A mechanical failure late in the DMR Auto Street Stock feature on July 28th resulted in the No. 77 having to pull off before the finish. With his three closest rivals each finishing on the podium, it tightened the point standings even more with just three point races to go. Goodwin still holds the advantage but it is only two points on Justin Cole (Harvey), four points on Shawn Hyslop (St. Stephen) and five points on Christmas in July's feature winner Roger Slocum (Chipman). With this being the tightest the top four has been all season in this division, one mistake could eliminate them from championship contention.
Not to be outdone, the Fredericton Gun Shop Sharp Shooters are putting on quite the classic championship battle with only three point races to go. With a misstep during Christmas in July, Brody Levesque (Fredericton) fell from first to third in the standings. The good news for the fans of the No. 05 is that he only sits three points out of new leader Bryan Suttie (Keswick). Sandwiched in the middle is Scott "Bat Hubby" Kennie (Fredericton), who is a single point from Suttie's championship top spot. The trio will have to be on top of their game not only to beat each other but fend off some hungry competition looking for a victory after a weekend off.
The Atlantic Modified Tour will make their first of two stops to Speedway 660 this Saturday night with a 35-lap feature on tap. It is the first time the Tour has been in town since SpeedWeekend 2016 when Mike "Sparky" Raeburn (Hampton) drove to victory lane. Cody Price (Nackawic) is the most recent winner on the Series, going to victory lane last Sunday at Petty International Raceway. Joe Hoyt (Waasis) leads the Atlantic Modified Tour point standings by a single point over the Stafford Racing car, which has been shared by Braxton Stafford (Blackville), Ashton Tucker (Miramichi) and "The Racing Ranger from Renous" Kim Hallihan. The pair of cars have a substantial gap on the rest of the field in the championship standings.
The RE/MAX East Coast Elite Realty Pro Stock division is off this weekend and will return for Fan Appreciation Night on August 18th.
Adult grandstand admission price for Saturday evening's Firecracker Sportsman 150 is $20 (aged 16 and up). Pit admission is $25 and is restricted to those 16 years of age and older. Tickets are available at the gate on race day. Pit gates for competitors will open at 1pm, grandstand gates open for spectators at 5:30pm with racing getting underway at 6:30pm. A complete race day format will be available via Speedway660.com later in the week.


The Academy of Stomatology was founded in 1894 by a group of Philadelphia dentists eager to form a society that would further the profession of oral medicine. This group of dentists included Edwin T. Darby, Louis Jack, Robert Huey, D.N. McQuillen, S.H. Guilford, J.A. Woodward, E.C. Kirk, C.J. Essig, and J.D. Thomas. In the constitution, they stated that "the object of this organization shall be the education and mutual improvement of its members in all matters to the study of the oral cavity by the presentation and discussion of papers; the collection of literature, specimens, and models, and the study thereof; and the fostering of all efforts which tend to the advancement and elevation of dentistry as a profession," ( Transactions of the Academy of Stomatology, 1894-1897, page 5). The Academy consisted of a president, a vice president, a secretary, a treasurer, a librarian, and a council consisting of five members, as well as the general membership, which at the time of formation could not exceed fifty. The general membership was open to dentists who practiced in the Philadelphia region and "who performed genuine work for the advancement of the profession," ( Transactions of the Academy of Stomatology, 1894-1897, page 6). The members were required to apply for membership and the application process included original research and a presentation. During their tenure as member, individuals were expected to submit original research at least once every two years; and if their research was accepted, the members would present their research to the general membership.
The presentations of original research by members may have made up much of the content of monthly meetings as there were scholarly presentations made at each meeting.
A new member was inducted into the Academy of Stomatology of Philadelphia in December 2015, making it the oldest continuing education organization in American dentistry.

Every construction company has one ultimate goal, which is to develop a base of loyal customers. These customers will be more likely to share positive experiences they have had with your company through the trusted relationship you have developed. Loyal customers will stick around through thick and thin, and they will also be more willing to not only provide your construction company with regular business, but additional business as well. Developing customer loyalty is of the utmost importance, as competition throughout your specific industry has likely increased over the years, offering customers more choices in the process. Customer loyalty can be a great tool to maintain a competitive advantage.
With the increase in competition however, utilizing previous methods of maintaining existing customers has proven difficult. What attracts customers today to a specific construction business is the great service offered, quality workmanship, professional attitude and competitive prices. Today, in order to create loyal customers, it will take time, dedication, positivity and commitment.
In order to build a customer loyalty, good practice involves meeting your clients face to face. There are several ways you achieve this such as having dinner, attending sporting events, attending industry meetings and even attending board meetings of community organizations. When you invest time in your customers, you will be rewarded in the future as your customers will know that you have put their interests first. Making your customers a priority will surely guarantee you loyal customers. Always select a relaxed setting where you can have a conversation with your customers.
In order to build a relationship and trust with your customers, you need to maintain constant contact with them. One method of doing so entails creating a list of customers and categorizing them according to how long they have been customers and how much business they have done with you. Once this list has been created, you can then rank them according to how loyal they are to your business, along with the likelihood that they will continue to do business with your company in the future. Once you have ranked them, it is important to make more of an effort to stay in touch with those ranked highly when it comes to loyalty, as this will demonstrate to them that you care about their business. It is important to note that you should not forget your other customers as well!
Anyone would love to know that there are people out there who remember special occasions in their life. As a construction company building loyal customers, it is important to remember your customer's special occasions. Some of these occasions include birthdays, anniversaries and holiday's among others. During this time, you need to go out of your way and learn what is important to your customers. Do not simply buy general gifts that you can easily purchase at the store. Remember, thought counts when it comes to gift giving. On the other hand, you don't have to spend a fortune, just do some research and provide them with a gift they will remember, as they will be likely to think of your company next time they need work done.
Information is a powerful tool and when utilized well, it will earn you loyal customers. In order to let your customers know what you are up to, you need to utilize different forms of media such as newsletters, emails, or even a simple check-in phone call. The main points that should be highlighted in the newsletter, email or phone call include the excellent service that you offer and the unique or special packages you have for existing customers. The main reasoning behind this strategy is to keep your customers informed and aware of what is new with your company.
One of the reasons why customers decide to leave a specific company is the perception of indifference. When customers select a company to work with, they want to know that you not only care about them, but their business and challenges as well. The first thing you need to do to demonstrate that you care is to be familiar with their hobbies, goals, and other major life events. Always ask them about their life when you speak to them, and extend the conversation beyond work. This will help humanize the discussion and provide your clients with more personalized service. By showing your customers that you care, it will help to set your business apart from other construction companies.
In order to maintain a competitive advantage, creating loyal customers is a must. The world of business today is highly competitive and companies are going out of their way to use different methods not only to entice new customers, but also to retain their current ones. Some of the methods they use include showing that they care about the customer, making the customer a priority, maintaining constant contact with customers, remembering special occasions, and keeping them informed about the business. Practicing the above methods will surely guarantee you loyal customers, who will not only provide consistent business for your company, but will also help you attract new business as well.


The Britain-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said SDF fighters were advancing "cautiously" due to mines planted by Isis gunmen. It said US-led coalition's warplanes are giving cover to advancing SDF fighters.
U.S. officials have said in recent weeks that Isis has lost 99.5% of its territory and is holding on to fewer than 5 square kilometres in Syria, or less than 2 square miles, where the bulk of the fighters are concentrated. But activists and residents say Isis still has sleeper cells in Syria and Iraq, and is laying the groundwork for an insurgency. The US military has warned the group could stage a comeback if the military and counterterrorism pressure on it is eased.
Earlier on Saturday, Isis militants attacked SDF fighters near an oil field in the country's east, triggering airstrikes by the US-led coalition.

Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin
Photo Harlingue/H. Roger-Viollet
(1872?–1916). One of the most notorious characters in modern Russian history was a religious charlatan and opportunist known as Rasputin. For more than 10 years he maintained a hold over Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra, through his ability to relieve the pain of their son Alexis's hemophilia, an often fatal blood disease.
Rasputin's real name was Grigory Yefimovich Novykh. He was born in Pokrovskoye, Siberia, Russian Empire, about 1872. All his life he remained an illiterate peasant. His reputation for wild, licentious living earned him the surname Rasputin, meaning "debauched one" in Russian. For a time he studied at a monastery, where he learned a doctrine that he corrupted into his own belief that the best means of salvation is to indulge one's appetites as much as possible. Rasputin did not become a monk; instead, he married and fathered four children. He left his wife to travel to Greece and Jerusalem as a self-proclaimed holy man with the ability to heal the sick and predict the future.
In 1903 Rasputin turned up in St. Petersburg, the Russian capital, where he was welcomed for his mysticism and healing talents. In 1905 he was introduced to the royal family, and three years later he was summoned to the palace during one of Alexis's bleeding episodes. Rasputin succeeded in easing the boy's suffering (possibly by his hypnotic powers) and warned the royal couple that the destiny of both the child and the dynasty were irrevocably linked to him.
In the presence of the royal family, Rasputin consistently maintained his guise of a humble and holy peasant. Outside the royal court, however, he soon fell into his former wild habits. When accounts of Rasputin's conduct reached the ears of Nicholas, the tsar refused to believe that Rasputin was anything other than a holy man. By 1911 Rasputin's behavior had become a general scandal. The Russian prime minister sent Nicholas a report on Rasputin's misdeeds. As a result, the tsar expelled Rasputin. Empress Alexandra, however, had Rasputin returned within a matter of months. Nicholas, anxious not to displease his wife or endanger his son, upon whom Rasputin had an obviously beneficial effect, chose to ignore further allegations of wrongdoing.
In 1915, during World War I, Nicholas went to the front to command Russian troops. Alexandra was left in charge of Russia's internal affairs, and she appointed Rasputin as her personal adviser. This position gave Rasputin the chance to become the most powerful man at court. He appointed Russian church officials and cabinet ministers and even intervened in military matters.
During these tumultuous times, several attempts had been made to take the life of Rasputin, but up until late 1916 none had been successful. Finally, a group of conspirators lured Rasputin to a private home in St. Petersburg (called Petrograd from 1914 to 1924) on the night of December 29–30 (December 16–17 according to the old calendar), in 1916. That night the conspirators poisoned and shot him. Still Rasputin did not die, so they tied him up and threw him through a hole in the ice into the Neva River, in which he drowned. A few weeks later the Russian Revolution ended the rule of the Romanov Dynasty.

Q: LINQ expression node type is not supported in LINQ to Entities I get an error when I try to run the following query in LINQ to Entities:
 var query = DBConn.myView
                            .Select(dm => new App.DTOs.MyDTO
                            {
                                ID = dm.ID,
                                Prop1 = dm.Prop1
                                ....

                            .Where(dm => dm.TypeID != 4);

The Error message is:
LINQ expression node type 'TypeID' is not supported in LINQ to Entities

It fails on the .ToList() call:
private List<MyDTO> lstDTO;
lstDTO = query.ToList();

However, if I remove the .Where() from the query, it works. Is there any way to use the Where clause with this query?

A: You just need to swap your Select and Where part around:
var query = DBConn.myView
              .Where(dm => dm.TypeID != 4)
              .Select(dm => new App.DTOs.MyDTO
                            {
                                ID = dm.ID,
                                Prop1 = dm.Prop1
                                ....
                            });

A Bernanke boost for India?
Attention will focus on the US Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee on 18 September as Ben Bernanke deliberates on whether to cut the US Fed Funds rate and, if so, by how much?
The futures market is already pricing in a 25 basis point cut, to be followed by two more cuts this year. The conventional wisdom is the market will be disappointed with a 25 basis point cut on 18 September and will rally only if the cut is 50 basis points. Observers have pointed out that the average Fed Funds rate for August was around 5%, 25 basis points lower than the target rate of 5.25%. So, a 25 basis point rate cut in effect has already happened. Citigroup economist Yiping Huang says in a recent report that he expects the Fed to cut rates by 50 basis points on 18 September and by another 25 basis points before the year-end.
What does this mean for the Indian market?
Apart from the improvement in sentiment, there's also another factor. Huang's view is that if the 75 basis points rate cuts in 2007 completely offset the slowdown in US growth, then it would accelerate Asian growth by 0.8 percentage points in 2008 and strengthen Asian currencies by an average of 0.7%.
The effect on India is relatively less, but it would add to India's gross domestic product growth by 0.4 percentage points and strengthen the rupee by 0.6%. While, in the likely event of rate cuts not completely offsetting the slowdown in US growth in 2008, the impact on Asia will be larger.
In these uncertain times, what is an investor to do?
It may be best to take a leaf out of Marc Faber's latest Gloom, Boom and Doom Report. He advises investors that "in the ongoing financial battle between the optimists, who expect a new high shortly, and the pessimists, who expect a new low before the end of October, the best course of action may be to only take small positions and to be patiently awaiting better entry points both on the long and the short side."
Is the sharp drop in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and the infrastructure index for July a one-off event?
There are several reasons for believing so. One of them is that the sharp decline in credit during the earlier part of the fiscal year is being reversed. Consider the data: During the three months from 1 April to 6 July, non-food credit declined by Rs12,094 crore, compared with a rise of Rs36,654 crore in the same period last year.
But look at the sharp pick up in bank credit since then. During the period between 6 July and 31 August, non-food credit rose by Rs51,284 crore. That's comparable to the Rs51,646 crore rise in the same period last year. And in the month to 31 August, non-food credit rose by Rs32,802 crore,?more?than the Rs31,319 crore rise during August last year. The point is that credit growth is back on track and we no longer have the huge slowdown we saw in the beginning of the fiscal year.
We're still not sure about the reasons for the rise—whether it's because external commercial borrowings have slowed down and corporates are borrowing more, or whether consumption demand is reviving, seen from the rise in auto sales in August. If you consider that the category "Wood and wood products; furniture and fixtures" is showing the highest rate of growth in IIP, then housing demand seems to be rather good, because the demand for furniture and fixtures will depend to a large extent on the demand for new housing. A Citigroup note on the July infrastructure data says the reasons for the slowdown in construction indicators such as cement and steel are capacity constraints and shutdowns rather than lower demand.
The other reason for considering the July IIP numbers a blip is provided by the ABN Amro Purchasing Managers' Index. The August reading of this seasonally adjusted manufacturing index was 57.9, the highest since last November. The bounce follows a July reading of 52.9, the lowest in the 29 months since the beginning of the survey. As Gaurav Kapur, senior economist at ABN Amro India pointed out, "these indicators seem to suggest that the contractionary impact of higher interest rates on local demand conditions, especially leverage driven spending, could be on a decline." The BSE Auto index is still underperforming the Sensex, but the margin of underperformance is diminishing and auto stocks are no longer getting bashed in the market.
And finally, consider the fact that excise duty collections in August surged 9% over the year ago level. In July, the year-over-year growth in excise collections had been a low 2.1%. That's another reason to believe that industrial production will rebound in August.

1 Why bother with regulation and National Registration?
2 Why is regulation so important to the public and the NHS?
3 Do I need to belong to a professional association?
4 Does the GRCCT provide insurance?
5 Why do I need to do further studies every year?
6 Does GRCCT Accredit Schools?
7 Are National Occupational Standards a Requirement?
Why bother with regulation and National Registration?
Regulation is a chance for practitioners to own their profession . The profession are able to decide what is right for the future of their profession rather than having policy dictated from outside sources. The GRCCT is capable of contributing to the ever-changing CAM debate, for instance with regard to the provision of Integrated Healthcare and the political control issues emanating from the European Commission.
Why is regulation so important to the public and the NHS?
The primary function of regulation is to protect the public from practitioners who have not trained or trained on a course below the profession-determined standard, perhaps have no insurance to practice and no redress if something goes wrong. The public therefore need to check that their practitioner is on the National Register. All healthcare professionals should only refer to GRCCT Registered practitioners.
Do I need to belong to a professional association?
In order to register, you need to show that you have trained to and are working to the agreed national standards. You do not have to belong to a professional association in order to register, but we strongly recommend that you do. See the 'How to apply for admission to the National Register' page for information on the different services provided by a regulatory body and a representative body.
Does the GRCCT provide insurance?
No, as a regulatory body, it is not our function to provide you with professional indemnity and public liability insurance; however you do need this to be able to register. You can either obtain insurance yourself, or one of the many advantages of belonging to a professional association is that they often provide a cheaper block insurance scheme.
Why do I need to do further studies every year?
In order to be regarded as part of integrated healthcare in the UK it is vital that CAM practitioners act in the same professional manner as all other healthcare professionals. Keeping your knowledge and skills up to date every year shows that you are committed to providing the best quality service to your clients/patients and keeping abreast with all the latest developments and research. See the Education & CPD page for more details.
In general voluntary regulatory bodies do not accredit education providers. This is the role of awarding bodies and profession associations. Admittance to GRCCT is on the basis of professional membership or award under direction of each profession.
Are National Occupational Standards a Requirement?
National Occupational Standards are the minimum requirement for safe practice of a skill and are published by the government Sector Skills Councils. In the case of complementary therapies this is Skills for Health. Where a National Occupational Standard (NOS) exists for a therapy practitioners working below the NOS would be considered a danger to the public and are not granted admission to the National Register.
Where a NOS is not yet in place the profession developed competencies may be used in conjunction with existing NOS competencies to provide a minimum standard for safe practice. Practitioners meeting the standard may be admitted to the National Register.

I never want the journey to end: Radhika Agarwala

# I never want the journey to end: Radhika Agarwala
Radhika Agarwala is one of the new young artists on the block making her presence felt since her return to India from London with exciting works. She recently came up with her third exhibition- In The Middle of The Garden- with Serbian Ivana Ivkovic and painter Viraag Desai at Tejas Gallery in Kolkata after a year long residency for the initiative. TWF correspondent Shubhashree Hom chats up the promising painter living between Kolkata and London
As a first question I would ask you to introduce Radhika Agarwala as a person to our readers?
I am an artist, an explorer of cities ,objects and cultures, a wanderer of the unknown and known. I returned to my homeland after six years and have to say it's quite overwhelming and exciting to be back. I was born and raised in Kolkata .As a child, I was surrounded by music, cinema, art on the streets and home, chaos and bling everywhere. Drawing was my first tool I plunged to express my world. I finished my undergraduate in painting from Rabindra Bharati University. I got eager to engage with other communities and look at art outside my periphery and left for America. I studied at School Of The Art Institute of Chicago and Florida, worked as an artist apprentice in New York only so that I could spend time in museums and galleries. Life suddenly was rapidly changing, and the thirst to travel and interact and collaborate with other artists became like an addicition. I finally moved to England to finish my second masters from Goldsmiths in London where I ended up living the last three years.I exhibited widely and did few residencies in Europe and to pay my bills,worked at the Natural History Museum. During this years, I experimented and learnt how to live, think and survive differently the most. Moving has been the only consistent thing. I was never in a comfort situation as such and hence pushed all my boundaries. The more uncertainty there was, more new doors seemed to have opened. I walked, collected and documented stuff from everywhere-books, images, sounds, animals, roads, nature. My work is a by- product of all of this and the influence of the west and east merging and collapsing together and ultimately depicting a metaphysical journey.
Did you always want to become a painter? Was it your passion?
Yes, I always wanted to become a painter .Painting, sculpture, video, drawing all work parallel for me. The idea was to be able to make things and show an alternate reality.
Artists don't get the usual benefits and acceptance that easily, so yes, it was only my unlimited passion and desire.
Radhika, how do you approach your work when you plan for your projects?
It largely depends on the kind of space and concept. Group and solo exhibits have a different sentiment and approach. If it's a solo show that I had in London 2013 at Hjellegjrede Gallery, 'For Two Lovers', I worked for one full year towards it and my time was divided between London, Turkey, Austria and Kolkata. But every painting that I created was a product of research and data I had collected along those cities and conversations, yet a committed theme was always on my mind. I had a familiarity with the gallery space which also changed the dynamic. For my group show that finished last month in Kolkata, 'Beneath The Black',Gandhara Art Gallery, there was very little that I could orchestrate other than hanging my painting which was largely determined through the title and concept note of the show. At present, I'm collaborating with few scientists and working with unfamiliar subjects and hence I'm not in so much control with my technique or final production ,rather more excited about the process. So it all depends.
Tell us about this Bagan Projects?
Bagan Project is an artist led initiative residency program by my former colleague from Chicago and myself. We both being residents of Kolkata realized the lack of an adequate space for artists to experiment and collaborate. It is essential for the city to have outside influences and via our program, an international cultural exchange along with critical discourse will take place. The residency site is set amidst exquisite flora and fauna, forty five minutes away from Kolkata.It is suitable for self-directed and research based projects, for emerging and established artists from all genres and countries. Curators, art critics and art patrons are welcome to open studios and lectures. The first artist that we invited was from Serbia. Three of us worked at the site and it was interesting to see the outcome, filled with cross cultural debates and we perceived the panorama quite differently.
Tell us about your 3D documentary? What have you tried to show your audience through it?
This documentary to me is less of a film and more of a three dimensional painting. I wanted to portray aspects of surrender and rituals. The wild horses walk collectively ,grazing, drinking and meandering and with the music that plays along makes us anxious as though there would be a climax or an attack. This is the anti Garden of Eden ,a hyper real landscape and a representation of wilderness in which these creatures are the only survivors that are symbolic of universal existence .The title 'Harder, Better ,Faster ,Stronger', is derived from a French electronic band and the music piece is from different recordings of chamber music. I like to incorporate references from popular culture, things that I see and listen to everyday. I shot the entire film in the mountains of Ladakh, where I spent a lot of time and it's an assimilation of many small shots that I have to put together through editing which results in seamless looping video. I have tried to show them a beautiful surface with mutants and created tension and symbology but I want to keep the message open ended for the audience.
So, what made you to venture into the 'Middle of the Garden'?
The residency where we have set up our project is surrounded by many shades of green. It reminded me of the botanical gardens with specimens of plants, shrubs and trees. Some are identifiable and others are not region specific. I wanted to challenge myself against this fantastical kind of surrounding.
How do you think the viewers should relate to it?
It's somewhat like a puzzle and the viewers can decide to resolve it or not. Because it's like the feeling when you are really standing in the middle of nowhere, you don't know what would happen next. There is a sense of mystery, suspense and eeriness in it.
That means you have added a touch of absurdity in your creation?
I think so. From the start, things were uncertain, conversations between the three of us,the cup of coffee I drink, the painting which I draw, the place where I worked that's not my home and hence this this uncertainty prevails in my life everyday. I made a monochromatic painting and called it 'In The Night, No Control'. It was a barren topographical view of nature with few sections of paint gleaming out.This was part of the show.
From where have you drawn inspiration for this exhibition?
Nature was the common denominator in mind and inspiration for this exhibition.
Why did you choose the title 'Middle Of The Garden'?
Sometimes ideas just crop up and 'Middle of the Garden' was that and seemed ideal for our ideologies. Two other artists and myself were searching and stuck in an utopian kind of landscape. All our discussions, tea sessions and execution of work was in this in between space.
One can never know what you find in the middle of the garden, it could be anything or nothing. I wanted to play with this notion.
Have you also tried to add this romanticism in your documentary?
Yes, there is a huge role of romanticism within the documentary. Because I have imagined a hyper real world with untamed powerful creatures who are the only survivors .They are my superheroes. It is not us that makes the land so sublime. I like dealing with such absurdity where the positive and negative are superceded. There is a relationship of idealism and folklore attached to it and I have tried to break the monotony and mundane aspect through the music that amplifies a particular energy to it.
Your work depicts that you have tried to highlight the absurdity of myth. So have you tried to challenge this concept to the viewers or just stated whatever came to you?
I have tried to do both. Myths generally are absurd. It's like a story that can be told and interpreted in million different ways.I enjoy fantasy, history, and symbols and somehow cross pollinate all these aspects into one surface. But this was the first time I did not use my hands literally to create or display something and this was a constant battle for me in a good way. This particular work was an accumulation of impulses ,experience and reactions in the wilderness.
What do you prefer dreamscape or landscape?
There is no big difference between the two. Though the video for me is more of a dreamscape than a landscape. It is a surrealistic documentary of a landscape.
Would you like to give a message to the young artists who inspire you in terms of work? If you are asked to guide them what would you say?
Be fearless and believe in your dreams. Get out of your comfort surrounding ,belonging and obviously create art in whichever form every single day. It has to become a happy ritual. Nothing comes easy but in a time like today, things are more accessible. Be careful about technology as it can overpower emotion and instincts sometimes. But on the whole, do not give up, there is a lot happening that one can grab to.
There are no rules or guide that one can follow. Each artist makes their own. It's a journey of massive ups and downs that we have to learn how to embrace and filter through. I would never like to end that and only hope to make it more meaningful through my art.
As a last question I would ask what's next?
My paintings will be shown at Osians, Mumbai in September and ArtBull, Delhi Auction houses in December .A group show in London in November is also in the pipeline.

The Dubai Municipality has announced that the second phase in the expansion of the Jebel Ali Sewage Treatment Plant has been completed at a cost of AED1.3 billion.
The project, with a water treatment capacity of 375,000 cubic metres, takes the combined capacity of Warsan and Jebel Ali plants to about one million cubic metres with the possibility for further expansion.
Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality said, "This expansion will cover the Expo and other areas of development and can accommodate the continued and future population growth with high efficiency. It will also support the strategy of the provision and preparedness of infrastructure.
"We have also reduced the cost of treating the wastewater to make this the world's lowest expansion," he added.
The expansion is characterised by a 25 percent reduction in energy consumption and produces about 232 billion cubic metres of irrigation water compliant with international standards and supports the plan to plant trees in the city in a big way as this water would be enough to irrigate 6,250 hectares of cultivated land.
"What is unique about this project is the participation of a young cadre of 13 engineers, including three women," Al Hajri noted.
Fahad Al Awadhi, Director of Drainage and Irrigation Department and Project Manager, pointed out that the first part of the project deals with water treatment and the second with the treatment of solid materials.
The project was completed taking 10 million working hours and using 143,000 cubic metres of reinforced concrete, 24,000 tons of reinforced steel, 2,659 mechanical and engineering equipment and machinery, 700 km of cables and 30 km of pipes. The project handles 21,900 tonnes of solid waste rich in nutrients that make them suitable fertilisers with high international standards and can be used as biofuels.

Tesla Model S P85
Posted on September 17, 2014 April 18, 2016 by A. Renesis
The girl at Tesla is nice, talkative and prepared but her introduction to the new Model S is rather fruitless. Unlike most test-drivers, soon-to-be buyers and fellow bloggers and car journalists, I couldn't care less about the brochure and its contents.
That's for the scholars and pedantic mouths to feed, and I'm neither. I sit next to a weird individual during the brief briefing, he's not a journalist nor a future buyer, perhaps he just wants to have some electric fun. He's taking notes, I'm having coffee.
The car I'm about to drive is a Tesla Model S P85, it is a new car but it isn't a new idea. Tesla Motors Car Company was founded by the same guy that invented PayPal and it has been around for years. The Tesla Roadster, which I've driven four years ago, was the first electric car to be desirable more than useful.
This is a completely different car and concept. To start with, it is not based on something else (the Roadster was essentially a fatter and eco-friendly version of the Lotus Elise). The Model S is a full-on, spot-on executive saloon, except it is perhaps aimed at creative marketing directors rather than cement salesmen. It is long, it is red, it has tons of technology thrown in it, beginning with the gigantic screen for the sat-nav and controls. I swipe the sunroof open on the screen, the actual sunroof opens above my head, I have technological friends that'd kill for this bunch of malarkey. I would not, but I still believe it is astoundingly cool. The sun's out, the promenade with its bars and the beaches are less than a mile away, and so I set off.
The Model S is bulky, heavy, and long, it has the same presence as any other executive car on the market but it doesn't feel dull or German, it feels modern and European, even though it is actually American, and it rides well, and it rides fast. As with any electric car, there is no gearbox and there is no combustion, therefore no filter, all of this translates into instant and brutal acceleration. This is the sort of thing I would kill for.
The S does not scamper around like a skinny and frantic child, it's a serious car that would wear spectacles if only it could. The fun in it comes from driving it, not from the car itself. Unlike the Roadster S, which was essentially the opposite.
Samy, the girl with me, tells me I'm driving the very same car that Elon Musk himself, the man himself, has driven recently. His phone was recently paired in the chronology of the Bluetooth system.
The greatest advantage of any fully electric car, hands down and no doubts, is that at the end of the fiscal year your expenses for fuel will be exactly nought. The monumental drawback however, is that charging points are not that easy to find outside California, Denmark and maybe Switzerland. You can of course charge it at your house, but that would make your electricity bill go up and it would still require too much time. The range, though extensive as it may be, is not a match for a petrol or diesel car. The S won't take you to Liverpool and back from Chester with the same ease and tranquility that a Mercedes E-Class (random example) would guarantee, but then again, it could do so with more panache, style and less money.
The Tesla Model S is a very serious and competent car, one you could actually buy and keep and use and like, even if you don't live in Palo Alto, California, where this car is truly at home.
I've enjoyed every minute of it and with it, and in it with Samy. Samy was born in Turin but lives in Amsterdam, one of the few cities I've visited that can be both deadly-serious and amusing, medieval and futuristic.
That's what the Tesla Model S is. An extremely capable and avant-garde way to have fun, in a rather medieval way.

Have you noticed a new area on my blog? I've grouped together all of my posts that focus on sustainable living, recommending ethical brands and sharing tips for living a more sustainable life. Going forward, this is going to be a bigger focus on my blog, as I hope to encourage my readers to make simple changes in their lives that make a big difference to the wider world. Starting here, with five simple tips for more sustainable travel.
I travel quite a lot, as one of my greatest loves is to explore the world and visit new places. Yet, I'm fully aware just how bad my travels are for the environment. Not only do my frequent flights drastically increase my carbon footprint, but I have previously visited destinations that are struggling with over-tourism. Needless to say, I've been questioning my own travels quite a lot recently, thinking about what I can do to make my holidays more sustainable. I don't want to stop travelling, but there are small things that I can do to lessen my impact on the environment.
This may come as a surprise but you don't always have to fly to reach your destination. Look into other forms of transport such as boats or trains, even if just for part of your journey. For my recent trip to Finland, I flew to Helsinki but then took the train to Lapland rather than taking a second flight, and I've previously taken the ferry between Greek islands. You're still taking a carbon-guzzling flight to get to your first destination, but you can make a huge difference by travelling by train or boat to continue your journey. Alternatively, boycott planes all together and take some time to explore your own country or to visit places easily accessible by other modes of transport. I'm based in England, and have taken several trips to mainland Europe on the Channel Tunnel or on ferries.
Many places around the world are struggling to cope with the huge amounts of tourists that are constantly visiting. Cities such as Barcelona and Venice, areas including Tulum in Mexico, and entire islands such as Santorini simply don't need more visitors. Spread your wings and visit someplace different, rather than following the Instagram crowds. If you discover a place off the beaten track, be subtle about how you promote it to the world. Don't use a specific location tag on Instagram and try to help to keep hidden places hidden. If you really want to visit an overcrowded destination like Venice and Santorini, don't contribute to the cruise ship problem where people come in for the day, don't spend any money and leave again on their ship. Rather, stay in accommodation owned by local people and spend your money in local restaurants, helping the local economy.
Whether you're buying food and drink or souvenirs to take home with you, shop local. Stay clear of tourist trap shops where they're selling cheap tat, and spend a little more money to buy authentic items made and sold by local people. Often, the cheap versions are made overseas and imported, not only adding to your carbon footprint but likely made from unsustainable materials or in questionable factories. Support the local economy by buying a couple of environmentally friendly mementos of your trip (but stay away from anyone selling items such as shells or made from animal parts). The same goes when you're purchasing food and drink - put your money into the local economy by staying clear of chain restaurants and supermarkets and buying from local shops and markets. Avoid imported food and spend your money on locally grown produce.
If you stumble upon a beautiful beach or rolling meadow, by all means enjoy your day but make sure that you leave the place exactly as you found it. That means tidying up after yourself and taking all of your rubbish with you (to recycle) but it also means don't take anything with you. Don't pick flowers or take shells and pebbles with you leave. Don't trample on protected ground (such as on the lava moss in Iceland) and don't touch anything fragile (such as coral reefs). Respect the nature that you have traveled to admire.
Never, ever take part in an activity that is designed for human entertainment at the expense of animal welfare. The most obvious examples of this are riding elephants and posing with tigers in Eastern Asian countries, but similar activities can be found all around the world from dancing monkeys in Moroccan squares to cramped zoos in Europe. If the purpose of your travels is to see a particular animal, travel to a place where you can see it in the wild. If you are going on a safari or a whale watching trip, do your research and take the most sustainable option that has the minimum impact on the animals. Never feed or touch wild animals, and stay clear of tours that encourage this.

Q: Why do WebDAV implementations not support GETing a folder RFC 2518 states:

The semantics of GET are unchanged when applied to a collection,
  since GET is defined as, "retrieve whatever information (in the form
  of an entity) is identified by the Request-URI" [RFC2068].  GET when
  applied to a collection may return the contents of an "index.html"
  resource, a human-readable view of the contents of the collection, or
  something else altogether. Hence it is possible that the result of a
  GET on a collection will bear no correlation to the membership of the
  collection.

As a user of owncloud I often find myself suffering from the low performance of an initial sync of a folder containing lots of small files (See owncloud bugtracker for others reporting the same issue). After some investigation I came to the conclusion that the culprit is the underlying WebDAV implementation, which yields an index.html for a collection and thus forces the client to issue a GET request for each file. Since each GET causes a significant overhead (in the order of several hundreds of ms), the whole operation never uses the available bandwidth and is perceived as agonizingly slow.
So what is the reason that widely used WebDAV implementations do not allow a client to download a whole folder at a time? The specification does not explicitly forbid it. Surely this would increase performance, so I guess there must be some technical reason to this limitation.

A:
The specification does not explicitly forbid it.

It does not forbid it, but it does not even remotely suggests that it's a something that the implementations should do. All the examples given are about retrieving a list or index of contents, not the contents itself.
Moreover, even if the server implementation chooses to support retrieving contents of a collection, there's no specification for format of that (how to package individual files into one download). So such implementation would be proprietary and your WebDAV client won't support it anyway.


Events happen. They are the things that are perceivable, detectable and observable. Events are physical changes in the world around us.
The fact of an event happening is not related to why it happened. Why is a story we create to help us predict what will come next. We create the idea of causation, suggesting that one event leads to another, and that the second event was "caused" by the first.
Even if this is true, it does not tell us why. It just dictates a string of events.
Why is a far harder concept to grapple with. If "why" is a story, then the story can change. We humans often pick a story that tells us we are bad. Sometimes we tell stories that tell us we are good. Events do not define us as good or bad, only our actions based on our intentions.

FDA Approves New Drug Combination Treatment for CCP Virus

Texas Governor Rules Out Another Lockdown as Cases Surge
By Tom Ozimek
November 23, 2020 Updated: November 23, 2020
Texas' Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday ruled out another lockdown as new daily cases have surged past their summer peaks in recent days, although the number of deaths due to COVID-19 in the state remain well below previous highs.
Abbott made the remarks in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, during which he was asked whether, "given the surge, are you going to re-lockdown or tighten controls on the Lone Star state?"
"First, no more lockdowns in Texas," the governor replied, adding, "second, we had a plan in place before this most recent outbreak and what that plan entailed was that if one of our 22 different hospital regions in the state of Texas has a hospitalization rate of 15 percent of total beds occupied by COVID patients, that leads to an automatic rationing back of the openings to 50 percent across the board as well as closing down bars in those regions."
Abbott said those policies have led to a drop in spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus in El Paso and Lubbock counties, which saw recent surges.
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), new daily infections in Lubbock County have fallen from their Nov. 16 record peak of 772, down to 474 on Nov. 21. The number of daily deaths due to COVID-19 hit a record high of 12 on Oct. 27, before falling to the low single digits in recent days, although DSHS notes that it expects the number of fatalities for recent days to grow as more death certificates are filed for those days.
El Paso County, meanwhile, saw a record number of new daily infections on Nov. 4, with 3,100 cases, before dropping to 843 on Nov. 22. The number of daily deaths in El Paso hit a record of 20 on Nov. 1, falling to six on Nov. 17, with DSHS noting the same caveat about the number of fatalities being a trailing statistic.
Abbott visited hard-hit Lubbock last week, where he told reporters that he would not impose another lockdown.
"It is important for everybody in the state to know that, statewide, we're not going to have another shutdown," Abbott said. "There's an overestimation of exactly what a shutdown will achieve."
Following the surge in El Paso, authorities rushed more than 1,200 additional medical staff while 10 mobile morgues were in place to handle the dead.
There has been a statewide mask mandate in place in Texas since July, and restaurants and businesses continue to operate at reduced capacity.
The number of new daily cases in Texas surged to a record high of 12,597 on Nov.21, while the number of daily fatalities, which hit a peak of 277 on July 23, fell to five on Nov. 19, with DSHS noting it expects that number to climb as more death certificates are filed.

In her interview with the Guardian, stylist and writer Ayishat Akanbi said, "My problematic ideas are my favourite ones, because they are the most genuine."
I learned about Ayishat Akanbi through a video that landed on my YouTube this week. She is known for speaking on topics related to activism and woke culture. In the video, she was speaking in a women's conference in Sydney, with a talk titled, The problem with wokeness.
And we are running into problems. Several of them. So today, we're dissecting, and learning how to move forward.
If you've read my previous post on cancel culture, you might be familiar with how I feel about wokeness. But their discussion in that conference is one of the most powerful I've seen.
Wokeness, which is now a word in the Cambridge Dictionary, is a state of being aware, especially of social problems. You can be woke about anything — climate change, racism, veganism, and onwards.
If you're an active user of social media, you most likely have advocated for something before. At the same time, you most likely have seen people in a heated argument before, too. Activism is growing — and for good reason! But can it be that our act of taking it into social media is making our passions for change a little more complicated?
Not only is it taking a toll on our mental health, online activism is steering us towards performative awareness. Here's what that means: When a video or graphic relating to an issue is posted somewhere, it very easily spreads like wildfire. The black squares for #blackouttuesday was a stellar example. Now raising awareness is important; I'm not saying it isn't. But when the bulk of our activism happens online, we run the risk of doing the bare minimum and calling it a day.
The second problem we have is the threat of conformism. We're following one set of ideals, and antagonising the rest. The hope that an entire generation of the Internet can share one ideology, is not only supremely unrealistic, but also very dangerous. I say this as someone who is a racial minority, who writes for women's rights and believes in social justice: I have to accept the fact that change doesn't necessarily mean everyone agreeing with me.
In her speech, Akanbi explained, "Shooting ideas down doesn't eradicate them, but prompts them to operate with insidious undertones, and in doing so, we push people into the arms of extremism."
If we don't make room for different perspectives, we're only scaring everyone into having the same opinions. Which leads me to our final problem in woke culture: Strong intolerance. Now you might be reading this and think, How dare she call me intolerant! But having progressive, left-wing politics doesn't mean you can't be prejudiced, the same way having traditional politics doesn't mean you're unkind.
I should mention that I have also sinned in all these areas. I have a) hit repost within five seconds for the sake of 'raising awareness' — even if without donating, b) blindly followed a perspective I thought was cool from the Internet, and c) stereotyped people who don't share the same values as me.
We all have our shortcomings in online activism.
But from here, we can do better.
We don't put good things into the world when we're angry.
What causes our issues with wokeness or online activism is that it's reactionary, not responsive. So how can we do better? First, step away after receiving information.
It'll always be tempting to react — to raise a voice on the issue as soon as possible — but we don't put good things into the world when we're angry, and self-awareness has to come before activism, not after.
Contrary to popular belief, it's okay to 'post late'. In fact, wait. Let the noise die down. Take a minute to breathe and think— process your input before deciding your output. In doing so, it is in this space, this window of time, that our reaction (anger and shock) can turn into a response (a considered approach). This approach can mean seeking knowledge, taking action, self-evaluating... This way, our output will not only be more informed, but much less hateful too.
Second, advocate in private. When you disagree with someone on Twitter, try DM'ing them instead of replying. When you see a problematic Instagram comment, try messaging them privately. What happens here is we're taking away the performative element of online dialogue. We allow for a real conversation to happen only between us, and this person.
Akanbi said it beautifully: "We can rebel against the lies and caricatures we've been sold about each other by being more interested, than irritated."
Be interested, not irritated. Instead of shaming a person's opinion, be curious about how it was formed. I'm willing to bet that if you approach anyone kindly and harmlessly enough, you can both be vulnerable and share your thoughts, however different. And you'll find that seeking to understand a person's views is much less tiring than defending your own. You might also find that all of us across the spectrum have more commonalities than we think.
If you don't find middle ground, though, don't internalise someone else's ignorance. You really owe it to yourself to not be angry over something stupid being said online. I truly think distancing yourself from online debate is a form of valuing your energy. Akanbi said, "Anger is productive if it's an occasional visit, not a permanent residency."
Personally, I'm also not a fan of resharing something to say, "This is disgusting", and leaving it at that. Because I've found that it spreads nothing if not my own anger and cynicism. It's also important to not always be in a hurry to show everybody how stupid someone is — because who does that serve if not our own entitlement?
And this ties to one of my favourite moments from Akanbi's discussion in that conference. "I try not to be offended by anyone I don't consider intelligent," she said, "Otherwise I would always be offended."
"I try not to be offended by anyone I don't consider very intelligent." –Ayishat Akanbi
And finally, I believe the best step we can take on being better at online activism, is to not take it online at all. Speak less on social media. Share as little as possible. Remember: the Internet can live without your opinion. This advice isn't to make you silent about causes that matter, but to prioritise the quality over quantity of your activism.
An Instagram story is not the only way to draw awareness. Message a close friend and ask if they've been supporting any causes lately — and if they say no, recommend a few! Take wokeness into your real social circles, not just your following. Implement woke values into the workplace. Bring awareness into the family.
Alongside all of this, in the words of Ayishat Akanbi, "Compassion and empathy are paramount to any social movement."
In order to move anywhere, we have to be willing to exercise both. Activism is less in what you show, and so much more in how you listen, think, and do.
Against all odds, I believe in my heart that a balanced society is still possible. I believe that humanity can withstand a lot, but also achieve a lot, when working together. I don't know if I'll be around for when that day finally comes. But it doesn't matter if I'll always be angry.
What matters is, with all this anger in my hands, I know exactly what to do with it.

this is such a necessary post. the reason why I try my best to stay away from political or social discussions or issues online is the strong intolerance in woke culture. i'm one of those people who end up experiencing fear because people are always on fire and refuse to listen. it's especially evident on twitter where if you offer differing perspective, "activists" will come at you with such intensity. it's funny, really because activists or leftists or minorities who do this end up treating certain individuals within that minority group the same way majority of the people do. does that make sense? i'm not sure if i word it out properly. i guess my point is that i don't think people can ask questions on the internet anymore without being insulted. i see a lot of people say things like "i don't have time to educate you" and i think that's quite snobbish, or elitist. or maybe that's just me because i personally have no problem helping others understand, educating others. i don't have to spoon-feed them with an entire lecture, sure, but i can always guide them. i think people today don't do this anymore. i also find it weird when "woke" people antagonise those who question things for the purpose of wanting to understand further, since questioning things is not always equivalent to siding with the 'villain'. i don't know, i just try to be more logical most times instead of, you know, immediately following other minorities or activists. i grew tired doing that and have had enough of people accusing me of things or putting words in my mouth when all i did was ask or rise possibilities from other point of view. i think it's not addressed enough that even activists can have tunnel vision.
this is also why i think discussing about 'woke' issues are best done in person. it's very rare to find people who can have a mature discussion online these days.
P.S: i just found your blog and i'm already in love with it. you are so in tune with your senses and i can feel that in your writing.

Hello Elise!
Gosh I love what you said. And I so agree - I have mixed feelings about the "don't expect us to educate you" narrative, because sometimes people *do* want to ask questions on how they can get better or do better, right? I definitely think most activists have tunnel vision these days, sadly.
But thank you so much for reading. Your kind words also mean so so much <3 Hope you're staying safe and well! x


Why hello darling, aren't you looking Marvelous. This open toed bootie in black has a cute front-wrap, lattice design and deconstructed, pleated details. Plus, you can slide it on in seconds with the velcro strap.

As the official soundtrack to Hardwell's Miami aftermovie, "Never Say Goodbye" already proved to be a surefire favorite amid his explosive set at Ultra this year. Hardwell took the fast-rising label favorite Dyro on stage during his Ultra set, which created one of the most memorable moments of Ultra.

When I played for Yale
Failed assassination attempt
Sir Thomas Rich's rugby team. David George Ball front row, second from left.
The Virginia Gazette, James City, February 15, 2012
By David George Ball
Small for my age, I didn't like being called "Tichy Ball" (small person) by my classmates at Sir Thomas Rich's School in Gloucester, England. Dad rubbed it in by saying I was the brain and my brother was the brawn. When my history teacher started calling me Tichy Ball, I knew I must do something about it. I tried to eat more, but school lunches of waterlogged cabbage and gristle disguised with gravy didn't help. I noticed the rugby players drank a lot of milk during the morning break, so I joined them. At rugby practice I hustled as scrum half.
A year later I had shot up to 5 foot 11 inches. The head coach told me to practice with the "first 30", which provided the players for the top rugby teams. When the scrum half for the second 15 left school, I took his place. To my great joy, I scooped up a loose ball and scored a try. The coach moved me up to the first 15. I listened with satisfaction as the headmaster announced my name in the school team for the next game. Nobody called me Tichy Ball anymore. My experience proved invaluable when I came to America and won a Scholarship to Yale. A friendly graduate student, who was captain of the Yale rugby team, discovered my skill as a scrum half. He said, "Why don't you come out to practice?" "Are there any freshman?" I asked. "No, but come anyway."
Many thick-necked, muscular football players thought of rugby as a form of spring training. Although I had felt like a Tichy Ball at Tommy Rich's, I had the advantage of knowing a lot about the game. I may have been skinny at 160 pounds, but I reveled at getting the ball out fast and tackling hard. One day after practice the captain said, "We need an extra player against Havard." My heart pounded with excitement. I was only a freshman and he wanted me to play for Yale against Harvard! The trouble was, the game was in Cambridge, and I had a longstanding date for the prom at my girlfriend's boarding school in Northampton, Mass. When I explained my problem to the rugby captain, he said I could leave after the game and promised, "I'll find you a ride." I borrowed a tux from a friend and packed it with my rugby gear in an old suitcase. My teammate who was providing the ride had trouble cramming the suitcase into the trunk of his MG. Early in the game a Harvard wing forward slapped into me and knocked me out. I was helped to the sidelines. Since there was no substitution, the captain put me back in the game as soon as my head cleared.
After the game, I left for the boarding school, still groggy from the concussion. The prom had already started. My date pointed out a small bathroom that was hardly big enough for both me and the suitcase, let alone for changing clothes. It was a major struggle to change into the wrinkled tux. The dance floor was the next challenge. My evangelical background meant I had never danced before, and my head was spinning. I held my date close, not least to keep my balance. We saw the headmistress approach holding a ruler. My date whispered that the school rules required us to remain at least one foot apart while dancing. I noticed something on the floor and, trying to distract attention, said to the headmistress, "Somebody has lost something." "Yes," she replied in a haughty voice. "It's your cummerbund." I'd never been so happy. From that weekend on I played scrum half for Yale.
David George Ball of James City received his bachelor's degree from Yale in 1960 and his law degree from Columbia University in 1964. He served as an assistant secretary of Labor 1983-93. The essay is based on stories in his memoir, "A Marked Heart."

ESSAY: European trade and Israeli occupation
Posted on January 30, 2009 by Antievil
The scope of this study is far too broad to be thoroughly examined by means of this
thesis. My aim however has been to present to the reader an outlook of the Human
Rights and Intellectual Property Rights of the Palestinian people, of how they can be
combined, and of how they sometimes interact. Since the violations inflicted upon the
Palestinians discussed in this study often have elements of both, it is however easy to
end up with a Human Rights perspective even though it has been my intention to shed
some light on both areas. For the future my hopes for peace and prosperity goes out to
the peoples in question – but how this will be achieved is truly another question.

VIDEO: Turkish PM storms off in Gaza row (Finally a European HERO) + HERO RALLY IN TURKEY ( a must see!!!)
Davos Erdogan Crushing Israel – Hero Rally

Turkey PM storms off in Gaza row
Turkey's prime minister has stormed off the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos after a heated debate on Gaza with Israel's president.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan clashed with Shimon Peres, whose voice had risen as he made an impassioned defence of Israel's actions, jabbing his finger.
Mr Erdogan said Mr Peres had spoken so loudly to conceal his "guilt".
He accused the moderator of not allowing him to speak and said he did not think he would return to Davos.
The Turkish PM stressed later that he had left the debate not because of his disagreements with Mr Peres but because he had been given much less time to speak than the Israeli leader.
Turkey is one of the few Muslim countries to have dealings with Israel, but relations have been under strain since the Islamist-rooted AK Party was elected to power in 2002.
Late on Thursday, a WEF official said that Mr Peres and Mr Erdogan had spoken by mobile telephone, and both men now considered the matter closed.
In the debate, Mr Erdogan was cut off as he attempted to reply to Mr Peres.
Palestinian children reportedly injured in an Israeli missile attack lie in hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, 29 January
Many of the casualties in Gaza have been children, doctors say
Earlier the Turkish Prime Minister had made an address himself, describing Gaza as an "open-air prison".
When the audience applauded Mr Peres, he said: "I find it very sad that people applaud what you said. You killed people. And I think that it is very wrong."
The moderator, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, had given him a minute to reply, then asked him to finish, saying that people needed to go to dinner.
"I do not think I will be coming back to Davos after this because you do not let me speak," Mr Erdogan shouted before marching off the stage in front of Mr Peres, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and an elite audience of ministers and international officials.
Mr Peres had told the audience Israel was forced on to the offensive against Hamas by thousands of rockets and mortars fired into Israel.
"The tragedy of Gaza is not Israel, it is Hamas," the Israeli leader said.
"Why did they fire rockets? There was no siege against Gaza. Why did they fight us, what did they want? There was never a day of starvation in Gaza."
He argued that Mr Erdogan would have reacted in the same way if rockets had hit Istanbul.
More than 1,300 Palestinians and 14 Israelis were killed during the three-week conflict which began on 27 December.
At news conference later on Thursday, Mr Erdogan complained that he had been allowed to speak just 12 minutes to 25 for Mr Peres.
"I did not target at all in any way the Israeli people, President Peres or the Jewish people," he said.
"I am a prime minister, a leader who has specifically expressly stated that anti-Semitism is a crime against humanity."
Ref: BBC
We should all demand that PERES returns the Noble peace price!
He is celebrating the Gaza massacre and as a supporter also a guilty of
its crime. PERES IS A WAR CRIMINAL!
Welcome to Israel, where Noble peace prize winners lies and celebrates
genocide!

The Ichthyologists of Boston, founded in 1931, is a private nonprofit association of Chemical Engineers with over 600 Local Section members and over 1350 AIChE National members located throughout the six-state region. Our "formal" name is the Boston Section of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. We hold monthly meetings from September to May, with such annual favorites as October's Guppy Night (Student Night), Couples Night, and Old-Timers Night. For more information on meeting topics or why we are called the Ichthyologists, refer to the following sections.
When the Ichthyologists were founded in 1931, meetings were held on Friday evenings. Since Friday night meals frequently involved serving fish, the group's informal name, the Ichthyologists, evolved naturally. Over the years, a tradition developed of using fish terminology for our officers, known generally as "Offishers," and individually by selected fish names such as "Kingfish" or "Queenfish" for the Section Chair, or "Shark" for Treasurer. View the other Offisher titles, and contact information here.
Most Ichthyologists have learned not to take themselves too seriously, thereby leaving an abundance of serious attention for their responsibilities as chemical engineers. This energy is reflected in our work in the public, private, or educational sectors, dealing with manufacturing, environmental and management issues on a daily basis. In addition, many of us strive to advance the profession itself, especially through AIChE involvement.


This simple, classic dessert is a summer favorite! Perfect for entertaining.

Q: Posting Array using JSON & JQuery to a C# Web Api back end I have the following JQuery:
var dataToSend = {
    list: [{ Code: 'ABC', BusinessDate: '31-Jan-2012' }, { Code: 'DEF', BusinessDate: '31-Jan-2012' }]
};

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    traditional: true,
    url: '/api/dashboard/post/',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: JSON.stringify( dataToSend),
    success: function (result) {
        alert('done');
    },
    error: function (result) {
        alert(result);
    }
});

and the following method at on the server:
 [System.Web.Http.HttpPost]
        public void Post(List<MyObject> list)
        {

        }

MyObjects definition:
public class MyObject
{

    /// <summary>
    ///
    /// </summary>
    public string Code { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    ///
    /// </summary>
    public string BusinessDate { get; set; }

}

The method gets hit, but shows no results in the collection. If I change the parameter to be:
 [System.Web.Http.HttpPost]
        public void Post(MyObject list)
        {
           // return new JsonResult();
        }

and only pass through the first item in the collection, I receive the object with the data in the web api method without issue, it's only when trying to pass arrays that I seem to have a problem.
Fidler shows this as the JSON:

{"list":[{"Code":"ABC","BusinessDate":"31-Jan-2012"},{"Code":"DEF","BusinessDate":"31-Jan-2012"}]}

Could someone please explain what I am doing incorrectly which so I can not receive arrays?

A: What your JSON is sending is essentially this: an object with a property called list that then has a list of objects in it. You have one unnecessary redirection. Try to remove the list: from the data you are sending and directly send the list as your parameter.

A: Add  in your headers. content-type :application/json
This should work.
