Agriculture is considered as a backbone of our country because from the last few decades India has been very successful in the economy of agriculture. … Agriculture supplies bulk of wage goods required by the non-agriculture sector. It provides raw materials for a large section of industries.
Agriculture provides most of the world's food and fabrics. Cotton, wool, and leather are all agricultural products. Agriculture also provides wood for construction and paper products. These products, as well as the agricultural methods used, may vary from one part of the world to another.
Climate change is also an important challenge as its adverse impacts such as increased flooding incidence, drought, soil degradation, water shortages and increased pests and diseases constantly threaten agricultural output and productivity.

Q: Google Calendar API v3 404 for Events I've got a relatively simple task I'm trying to accomplish with the Google Calendar v3 API, but I keep running into 404 errors. I only need to access one calendar (belonging to my client) and get read-only event data via Javascript (just using the protocol with an Ajax call), so I'm trying to avoid using authentication.
I made the calendar public by going to the calendar sharing settings clicking "Share this calendar with others" and then choosing "Make this calendar public. However, the only option I have for public is "See only free/busy (hide details)."
Having realized that, I edited each event to specifically set the type to "public."
Now, I'm able to get a eventList from the calendar resource, but there are only a few details for each item in the array (see below). And, when I try to access the individual event, I get a 404.
Having tried with a basic test calendar, I'm fairly certain the calendar sharing settings are the issue. The main difference between my client's calendar and the test calendar I used is that his calendar is a part of a Google Apps for business account, I'm fairly certain.
Is there any setting in the calendar itself I can edit to make the API work without having to use auth to access the data? Or, is there an option in the business apps settings I can have my client change? Again, I'm talking about only doing GET requests on one specific calendar using Javascript, so authentication is undesirable.
There's really no code I can show here because I'm just grabbing the data via the URI; I have the same problem (the 404) when using the explorer tool in the API docs. However, as you might expect, when I authenticate with that explorer tool, the events appear with no problems.
Sample item from the eventList:

  {
   "kind": "calendar#event",
   "id": "(idremoved)",
   "status": "confirmed",
   "updated": "2012-05-29T21:06:42.000Z",
   "start": {
    "dateTime": "2012-06-18T19:00:00-05:00"
   },
   "end": {
    "dateTime": "2012-06-18T21:00:00-05:00"
   },
   "visibility": "public"
  }

A: I'm using the following to read Google Apps for Education calendars, which has the same api and security restrictions as for Business.
After getting the public calendar address, I decided to parse the full version of the calendar instead of the basic version:
https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/your_calendar_id_here%40gmail.com/public/full
from what I've seen if your calendar is public, your events will be as well. You will want to make sure that the public for your calendar is accessible in your browser by just pasting the url. Check that events are also public by doing that as well. Make sure that the calendar is public but the "Share only my free/busy information (Hide details)" box is unchecked

If only you could scratch this Lemon Verbena leaf and sniff!
Lemon Verbena plants were brought to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 17th century from Argentina and Chile. There it was grown for its fabulous lemony oil that was used in perfume and cosmetics until cheaper Lemon Grass oil replaced it. Because Lemon Verbena leaves keep their scent well when dried they were a popular with the Victorians as an ingredient in their endless making of potpourri.
Aloysia triphylla is named after Maria Louisa (Aloysia is thought to be a derivative of Louisa) the princess of Parma and wife of King Carlos IV King of Spain. Triphylla refers to the placement of the leaves (phylla) which are arranged in whorls of three (tri).
Lemon Verbena is a rapidly growing elegant shrub that can reach 15 feet with tropical conditions. Here in zone 8 Lemon Verbena plants reach about five or six feet and then sprawl about. If it is not placed in full sun, Lemon Verbena plants will get tall and spindly and the oils will not develop as well. The oil glands of the Lemon Verbena leaf are on the underside of the leaf and are used to cool the plant during hot summers.
This spindly main stem of this small Lemon Verbena plant was topped, which, as you can see below, forced the side branches to grow. This produces a sturdier plant in the pot and the garden.
Due to its South American roots, Lemon Verbena likes it hot and needs plenty of of sunlight. Plants grown in shade will be less flavorful. In frost free areas, Lemon Verbena plants remain evergreen. When exposed to light frost, Lemon Verbena shrubs become deciduous, dropping their leaves. Mature plants, well mulched in the field, can survive brief temperatures as low as 6 degrees, at which point the Lemon Verbena plant will become herbaceous (dies all the way back to the ground). Cold area planting should be done at the earliest possible time in spring so the Lemon Verbena plant can become well established pushing its roots deep into the soil developing the largest caliper trunk possible before winter.
Lemon Verbena emerges late in spring. Pruning should take place after the branches have budded and you can tell which branches are dead. If you wait too long, the old dead branches become a tangled mess with new branches and it becomes much harder to prune. This is also a good time to prune other Lemon Verbena branches that might be in the way of other plants.
Lemon Verbena flowers are small, white, single and inconspicuous. Their airy feel is an elegant crowning point for the open form of the plant.
Lippia triphylla, Lippia citriodora, Aloysia citriodora, Verveine citronelle or odorante, Herb Louisa, lemon scented verbena, Verbena triphylla, and Lippia triphylla; Lemon Verbena has had many names in the past but no matter what it is called its flavor and fragrance of lemon is second to no other lemony herb. The flavor of Lemon Verbena is reminiscent of lemon candy, sweet with strong lemon and no sourness.
Cooking with Lemon Verbena is a fun experience. Like most herbs it has its own flavor profile that, while very close to lemon, has an extra essence that can best be described as an earthy freshness. Leaves and flowers can be used both fresh and dried.
Lemon Verbena leaves can be harvested anytime for drying. Lemon Verbena leaves are thin and dry quickly. After cutting the leaves, they should be washed and lain flat or hung in small batches to dry. Pick a nice dark spot with good air circulation or cover lightly with a paper towel. Bunches can be loosely placed in paper bags. The important thing to remember when drying any herb is to check daily for dryness. As soon as the herbs are dry (when they crackle and crumble in your hand) they should be placed in an air tight container out of the light. Dried Lemon Verbena leaves and flowers can be powdered and sprinkled on veggies or fish or combined with other dried herbs to add a subtle hint of freshness.
Fresh Lemon Verbena leaves are used to make sun tea, soak in liquid for sugar syrups, make flavored liqueurs or make flavored oils. For making dishes where fresh leaves will be eaten (like a pesto) the young leaves are more desirable.
To make a simple Lemon Verbena oil for marinades or salads, combine one cup fresh Lemon Verbena leaves with 1/2 cup grape seed oil in a blender. Blend on high for at least 2 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for an hour or two. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Use immediately or refrigerate. Lemon Verbena oil keeps about a week in the refrigerator so it is better to make small batches often.
Chop just half a cup of fresh lemon verbena leaves and put in a jar. Add 4 cups of vodka and let sit covered for two weeks, shaking every once in a while. After two weeks, add 2 cups of sugar and shake to dissolve. Let THAT sit for two weeks. Strain out the leaves, bottle the gloriously fragrant, delicious liqueur and either add it to desserts, or seltzer. If you REALLY want to drink it straight, I suggest doing that by the THIMBLEFUL!!!! It honestly tastes JUST the way fresh Lemon Verbena leaves smell.

This plant is often available in plug trays. These trays hold 128 of all the same plant. They are a great low cost way to fill a lot of space. Each cell is 3/4 of inch by an inch. Check here to see if Lemon Verbena Plug Trays are available.

Younghusbands encourage positivity for Azkals' Asian Cup run, PH football growth
The Younghusbands are confident of the Azkals' chances in this year's Suzuki Cup in preparation for the Asian Cup

MANILA, Philippines – In the Rappler Talk last Thursday, April 5, Azkals mainstays Phil and James Younghusband dropped by to share their stories of the Philippines' first AFC Asian Cup qualification.
The Philippine Azkals went down to the last stretch of the qualifiers to make the historic berth happen. The team failed to capitalize on the early opportunities as they drew in Yemen and and in Nepal, mostly due to missing their key cogs due to injury.
Although things fell into place starting from the draw until their last game against Tajikistan at home, the Younghusbands stand firm on the fact that it wasn't just luck that brought them to the Asian Cup, but it was a collective effort from the team on and off the field.
"I mean anyone can make any excuse or give any reason. You can say the luck of the draw or we can say we have to travel 25 hours to places. There are a lot of things that people don't know about and behind the scenes, so a lot of the preparation that goes on and off the field that people are unaware of," said Phil.
Phil also encourages fans and supporters to be more positive heading into the Asian Cup, as the progress of the Philippines has been unbelievable. For a country that does not overflow with resources for football, it's already a great achievement to join the ranks of other countries whose number one sport is football.
"I think people have to be more positive too much negativity for me and focus more on the good things and the upside," said Phil.
"You can put it all in perspective and it's amazing that where the Philippines has achieved, we want to be more consistent and continue with success."
2018 AFF Suzuki Cup
The Azkals will be making an appearance in the AFF Suzuki Cup again this year, but with more pressure to prove themselves to the world that they are one of the best teams in Asia. This includes redeeming themselves from the 2016 edition, where they failed to make it past the group stage.
Having experienced the same pressure in the last game against Tajikistan, the Azkals are hopeful that it will give them renewed confidence during the Suzuki Cup.
"Yes, there is pressure but we enjoy pressure and we proved that and the last game. This recent achievement can give us confidence as well going into the Suzuki Cup," said James.
"Beyond this, I want to achieve more, I'm sure Phil wants to achieve more, I'm sure the coach wants to achieve more, I'm sure Dan wants to achieve more, I'm sure the players want to achieve more. We just want to be hungry and what we're looking for in the Suzuki Cup is at least to get into the final or [become] champions."
According to reports, this edition of the Suzuki Cup will do a home-and-away format starting from the group stages to solve the lopsided attendance issue in the previous years. Instead of playing with two groups of 4 teams each, there will be more games as each group will have 5 teams each.
This will give more chances for Azkals fans to watch games live at home and become the 12th man of the team again.
Phil also noted that this Suzuki Cup would be a good prequel to the Asian Cup as Thailand and Vietnam will also be competing in both tournaments. However, he hopes that new format of the Suzuki Cup not be harmful to the fitness of the players before the Asian Cup.
The Philippines Football League (PFL) is already set to end in August 2018 by loosening up the game schedules to make way from the Suzuki Cup.
"We hope that the scheduling with the domestic league and all the games happening in the Suzuki Cup that it's not too much before the Asian Cup because we want to be going to the Asian Cup in our best condition possible," said Phil.
Both Phil and James Younghusband also agree with Azkals manager Dan Palami's plans for the rest of the year until the Asian Cup.
The Azkals already proposed plans to bring in new Fil-foreigners who are currently competing Europe such as Raphael Obermair, Gerrit Holtmann and Jesper Nyholm, to name a few.
Being Fil-foreigners themselves, James admits that it has been a long-time issue that majority of the team are not pure-bred Filipinos or are Filipinos residing elswhere in the world. However, the Younghusbands are in support of Fil-foreigners who are wholeheartedly willing to play and contribute to the national team just like them.
"Let's all be serious here, we're all Filipinos here in the country and we want to play for the Philippines and we all wanna do well together. I mean like if a player is good enough and he has Filipino blood, they should be playing for the national team and if they could contribute their football skills and help us achieve more things, then let's do it," said James.
Azkals captain Phil shares the same sentiments, but argues that recruiting Fil-foreigners is a short-term solution in fortifying the squad, while developing football in the Philippines should be a long-term effort.
"It's important that we make sure the programs are in place and we're doing the right things and we're making the right decisions to ensure that players growing up here are getting the right training, getting the right amount of exposure, playing enough football, and doing the right things to make sure that they'll progress and play for the Azkals, the national team as well," said Phil.
"Rob [Gier] put it in nicely and said 'the blood that flows through the players that grew up here is just as strong as the players who grew up abroad'. So we're very much Filipino. We grew up with the Filipino values, we may have a different upbringing in football, but that doesn't make us not Filipino."
The Younghusbands also agree with Palami's intention of providing TV broadcast for PFL and Azkals games, especially through a 'bayanihan' initiative. This is patterned after getting a 3rd party to collect donations from people in any amount.
For James, showing more Philippine football on TV will be able to push the sport to the younger generation, which will spark a development in Philippine football from the grassroots level.
"Getting the funds together to really push the sport and develop it here because we want to develop the sport for the young generation. The young kids who are training right now, and maybe [those] who watched the game against Tajikistan want to achieve more for the Philippines," said James.
Phil validates Palami in the fact that public who will contribute funds to Philippine football in their own way will be able to cherish the sport even more. Aside from the 'bayanihan initiative', Phil encouraged the management to explore all possibilities of promoting the sport in the Philippines.
"I think the best thing to do is to investigate all possibilities, to look into all possibilities in making sure that we have the best exposure, the sport has the most exposure possible and there's progress," said Phil.

Henry Ford is reported to have said: "If I'd asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for a faster horse." A hundred years later, too many businesses proudly display a similar attitude, thinking that they know best for their customers.
Others have recognised that social media platforms have made it easier to communicate directly with customers, and for customers to feed back to companies. How many of us turn to Twitter to complain before even thinking about picking up the phone to customer services? As a result, companies are coming up with detailed content plans, chasing likes, comments and user-generated content to show off the depth of their "customer engagement".
Engagement is one thing; truly listening to customers' wants and needs, and making changes as a result, is much harder to do, but ultimately much more worthwhile. As a challenger brand, we understand this. We have always had to be more agile and more responsive than our competitors to grow and thrive. From the beginning we have had to focus on the things consumers really want to win their business — and keep it.
That's not to say we have always been perfect. As we grew and expanded, like many other businesses, a gap opened between us and our customers. We became too caught up in chasing the rest of the industry to stop and understand what it was our customers really needed from us.
It took a bit of time for us to realise what had happened, and that we needed to get back to our roots and start listening again. It also meant we had to take some brave decisions, and we had to have the confidence to do what was right rather than what was easy.
But it is paying off. We have recently recorded some of our highest satisfaction levels, and customer churn is dropping. After all, happy customers are valued customers. They are more likely to stick with you, to buy more products from you and to tell their friends about you too.
Ultimately, nobody likes to be told what they can and cannot do, what they can and cannot have. In a global, connected world, it's easier than ever for customers to vote with their feet — so if you don't take the time to get under their skin, they will find someone who will.

not enough to master the fine art of living. Distilled over centuries, the biblical book of Ecclesiastes offers us the time-tested advice of Israel's sages. This is the best of wisdom, with echoes of East and West-from Zen and Tao to Merton and Moore--all rolled into one.In Ecclesiastes, Bible scholar Choon-Leong Seow creatively translates and carefully interprets one of the world's most profound, most enduring collections of ancient wisdom. Sometimes joyful and exultant, other times cynical and fatalistic, the ancient author Qohelet ("Teacher") wrestles with the ups and downs of real life. Even today, we recognize and repeat the sayings of this treasure-trove of apt advice. The book begins and ends with the infamous claim, "Vanity of vanities, says Qohelet, vanity of vanities! All is vanity!" In between, the sage leaves no stone unturned in the search for meaning. As the wisdom of biblical Ecclesiastes has stood the test of time, so shall Dr. Seow's Ecclesiastes become a classic in the venerated tradition of the Anchor Bible series.

Rev George Cowie obituary: Dundee-born chaplain to the Queen and 'true servant of Christ'
By Lindsay Bruce
January 7 2022, 5.00pm Updated: January 7 2022, 7.25pm
Rev George Cowie.
The Former Tayside engineer George Cowie, who later became a Church of Scotland minister and Chaplain-in-Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen, has died aged 58.
The much-loved minister, who was born in Dundee and became clerk to the Presbytery of Glasgow, passed away after a long illness.
Road to ministry
Following in the footsteps of his father who also entered ministry, George, first attended Glasgow University training as a civil engineer.
Friends and colleagues described him as a man of deep compassion, wisdom, integrity, humour and said the Church has lost a true servant of Christ.
Rev Dr Kenneth Jeffrey, Rev Alex Benson Maulana and Rev George Cowie.
George worked with Tayside Regional Council in Dundee before embarking on ministry.
He was licensed by the Presbytery of Glasgow in 1990 and ordained and inducted to the charge of Auchtertool linked with Kirkcaldy in 1991.
A move north
In 1999, he moved to Aberdeen, where his dad was born, to minister at Holburn Central Church.
His congregation later merged with Ruthrieston South Church to became South Holburn Church.
George is survived by his wife Marian, a fellow minister, son Graeme, daughter Kay and grandson Logan.
Shown during their time in Aberdeen, Marian Cowie with husband George and their children Graeme and Kirsty-Anne.
As minister he served the congregation until 2017 when he took up the Presbytery of Glasgow role.
He also convened the church's legal questions committee and served as acting depute clerk to the General Assembly in 2014-15.
So missed
Rev Dr Grant Barclay said Mr Cowie, was "ideally suited" for the role of clerk to the Presbytery.
"He had a wide experience of church life as a parish minister in Fife and then in Aberdeen and possessed a deep knowledge of Church law," he said.
The Rev. George Cowie.
"Many ministers and staff members found George's principled commitment, genuine care and sense of humour immensely supportive and encouraging."
He went on to say that George was everything you could want in a boss.
Dr Browning, served as Moderator of the General Assembly from 2017-18.
He described George as the noblest of colleagues and the finest of friends.
Adding that he was also an aficionado of good malt whisky and amongst the safest pair of hands the General Assembly had known in the handling of many challenging issues.
"How I miss him," he said.
Royal service
George was appointed Chaplain-in-Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen in 2017 during a service at South Holburn Church.
Very Rev Professor David Fergusson, Dean of the Chapel Royal, described him as a "distinguished servant of the Kirk".

Russell Letson Reviews Jack Four by Neal Asher
September 16, 2021 July 28, 2021 locusmag 0 Comments Russell Letson
Jack Four, Neal Asher (Tor UK 978-1529049978, £20.00, 448pp, hc) June 2021. Cover by Steve Stone.
One of Neal Asher's specialties is monsters (though not of the cute sort), and the new Polity novel, Jack Four, is all monsters, all the time. It starts with brutal mercenaries and their alien customers and works its way up through nearly indestructible mutated alien warriors and their transformed sort-of-human shock troops, to natural predatory fauna, to biomechanical war machines from the deep galactic past. Even the protagonist, who starts out as one of the most vulnerable creatures in the cast, is pretty scary, though his scary side emerges only gradually.
The monstrous entities mentioned above are only a few that have featured in the 18 novels and three collections that make up the sprawling Polity future history. The sheer volume of backstory might be a barrier for those who are coming to the series fresh, but for those unfamiliar with the galactic menagerie that makes Asher's universe so busy and dangerous, the book provides a Glossary right up front, wherein are described a few of the essential beasties and some of the background that accounts for them. The prador are smart, ruthless, xenophobic, and very aggressive, now in an uneasy truce with humankind after a nasty war with the human Polity. Scattered all across our neck of the galaxy are the remnants and revenants of even nastier ancient conflicts: devolved creatures, evolved bioweapons, naturally-evolved garden- or jungle-variety predators, and the omnipresent, immortal, and strangely sentient Jain technology that has been subverting and wrecking star-spanning civilizations for millions of years. Of particular significance is the Spatterjay virus, an engineered pathogen that transforms whatever it infects into voracious survival machines – though it can be controlled and its effects harnessed, which is one of the matters that drives the story of Jack Four.
The novel's namesake and narrator is a clone – the fourth of 15, thus his identifier – who comes to awareness as he and the rest of his batch are being prepared, under neural-implant control, for some nasty work involving rogue traders, prador, and the Spatterjay virus. He knows his name, but he has no personal recollections, though bits of basic knowledge keep bubbling up.
Images rose in my mind of soldiers standing in a row, and marching. Associations blossomed through my consciousness, including positions in organizations and societies, the relative importance of individuals and the smell of something foul…. Self-awareness of my human body and its constituents came upon me then – bones and organs and muscles. A positioning instruction fell into my mind and I walked unsteadily to my assigned place amidst the rest. I had a number and it was four; I knew the numbers of the others too and where I should be.
The other clones seem to lack Jack Four's self-awareness and limited mental freedom, and the riddle of his exceptional status is the first of a series of puzzles, challenges, and hazards Jack overcomes in his pursuit of escape and eventual revenge.
There is more than a whiff of a role-playing game scenario here, as Jack must watch for clues, gather resources, and make his way through mysterious and deadly environments, each stage dumping him into the next set of dangers. It makes for a one-damn-thing-after-another plot, but the damn-things are gaudy and violent and energetic: hiding out in the ductwork of a gigantic prador vessel, dodging both crew and the "ship lice" deployed to scavenge the premises clean; surviving a crash-landing on a planet that has been a dumping-ground for all manner of off-world predatory fauna; being pursued by the minions of his one-time prador captor; and eventually taking part in an extended, multi-sided Grand-Guignol running chase-battle through a fifty-mile-across orbital habitat.
Through all this, Jack is tough and gets tougher, and (as his mind gradually reintegrates) it's clear that there is a personal and professional history that will explain how all the parts fit together. But the book's through-line remains the relentless piling-on of pursuers, opponents, hazards, barriers, and near-death experiences in bizarre environments. Along the way, we also get additional glimpses into the nature of prador, of the Polity, and even a look at how a future bathroom operates. And a warning: there are also scenes of carnage, dismemberment, torture, and massacre that are harrowing even by the standards set by previous Asher adventures. Jack is on the receiving end of much of it, so the up-close-and-personal aspect is magnified.
Despite scenery that dwarfs individual humans (or even prador), this makes for a narrowing of scope compared to, say, the recent Transformation or Rise of the Jain sequences, which can fairly be characterized as space operas. Jack Four has more in common with several of the stories in the Lockdown Tales collection, particularly the Robinson-Crusoe shipwreck-survival pattern of "Plenty". Even in a giant starship or orbital habitat or trekking across a planetary landscape, it's often just Jack and his pursuers or tormenters (though there is eventually an unexpected ally), or even Jack hunkered down in some hiding-place, rummaging through his own mind for answers: one truncated personality pursued by real demons. This is the territory of classic pursuit thrillers – Rogue Male or First Blood with inhuman monsters, along with a few from our own species, and not necessarily excluding the protagonist.

Hi friends! We'll be showing you how sewing Christmas ornaments can truly be simple and easy for all skill levels. These adorable handmade DIY Christmas ornaments are perfect for the tree, as gift toppers, stocking stuffers or even little scented sachets!
Disclosure: This project is sponsored by Canvas Etc. All opinions are our own. Also, this post contains affiliate links for you shopping convenience. You can read our full disclosure statement here.
Friends, we have a great new collaboration to share with you! Over the coming months we'll be partnering with Canvas Etc. the largest online fabric store offering textiles and sewing supplies for all your crafting needs. This means we'll be able to bring you loads of new fabric and sewing projects using a wide range of materials. Sewing has always been one of my favorite hobbies, yet we've only done a handful of sewing projects to date, such as our upcycled leather bag , DIY Christmas stocking and our DIY linen napkins.
Canvas Etc is a growing online fabric supply store. In addition to a huge selection of affordable textiles, they offer finished products such as totes, custom sewing and on-demand printing. Stop on by and see their selection of hundreds of patterns by renowned artists, which they can print onto 20 different fabrics. Or upload your own!
You might recall some of our Christmas rock painting ideas from last year, called Santa's Little Helpers. Well, we applied the same Elf, Reindeer and Santa designs to a canvas material to make these adorable ornaments. By the way, painting on canvas is waaay easier than painting on rocks, in case you were wondering! So easy in fact, that we chose to make these ornaments two sided. There's no need for expert sewing skills: these ornaments are perfect for beginners and experienced sewers alike.
Canvas, also referred to as Duck Cloth, is a durable, plain woven fabric, most often made from cotton but can also be made from linen or blended with synthetic fibers, such as polyester and nylon. Canvas comes in a range of weights depending on the end use making it a very versatile medium to work with. It's not just for tents, slipcovers or for artists to paint on; canvas is an excellent high quality, low cost option for all kinds of sewing and DIY projects such as these ornaments. If you found this interesting, you'll want to check out Canvas Etc. blog to learn more about various textiles.
Cut out 6 same sized circles measuring 3 3/4" diameter.
Using a pencil, lightly hand letter any word of your choosing, such as "peace", "o' holy night" and "love".
Trace over the pencil lines using a black fine point magic marker and put aside.
Follow the instructions found here to paint these characters. Put aside to dry fully before moving on to next step.
Cut a piece or two of baker's twine to 10" long. Fold in half and place at the top of the hand lettered circle onto the wrong side. Using a matching thread color, sew loop in place.
Align two circles together with right sides facing out: one side with hand lettering and the other side with a painted character. Ensure the tops of both circles are aligned.
Using a matching thread color, do a single stitch around the edge leaving a 1" opening. You can also use red thread color instead of matching since it will just blend in with the finishing stitches.
Fill the circle with polyfill stuffing as shown.
Change sewing machine thread colour to red and sew around the perimeter of the circle mis-aligning the stitch placement for the 2nd and 3rd laps by 1/16" or ⅛". No perfect stitching needed here 🙂 Repeat with the remaining prepared circles.
And there you have it, three beautifully painted canvas DIY Christmas ornaments! Wouldn't these make wonderful stocking stuffers or gift toppers to share with your friends and family?
You could also stuff them with lavender or other scents to use as sachets.

Thank you to Canvas Etc. for partnering with us on this project. Be sure to stop by and visit them for all your sewing Christmas ornaments needs!
These are fabulous. I love the machine stitching around the edge.


Rent means a payment under any lease, sub-lease, tenancy or any other arrangement or agreement for the use of any land or building. However, under the Indian Income-tax laws, a property owner who receives rent is subjected to tax deduction at source or TDS.
According to section 194-1 of the Income Tax Act, TDS is the process in which a person (deductor) who is liable to make payment of specified nature to any other person (deductee) shall deduct tax at source and remit the same into the account of the Central Government.
As per the existing provisions, in case of TDS on rent paid, it is the duty of the rent payer to deduct tax at the rate of 10% of the rent on any land or building, if the aggregate of the rent paid or likely to be paid exceeds Rs 1.80 lakhs in a year.
TDS on rent: On whom it is applicable?
TDS on rent must be deducted by any person if the total rent paid in a year is over Rs.1,80,000.
On the other hand, in case of an individual or HUF rent payer, it has been said that if the payer of the rent is engaged in a business or profession with turnover more than the prescribed limit, and if the accounts were required to be audited during the preceding year, then they are also required to deduct TDS on rent.
TDS on Rent is also applicable in case one has pay money for hotel accommodations on regular basis.
When the amount of rent credited doesn't exceed an amount of 1, 80,000 during the financial year.
Individuals and HUF can normally avoid deduction, except in cases where the individual or HUF is engaged in a business or profession or is liable for tax audit.
Any other taxes payable to the Government cuts TDS on Rent.
In case of hotel accommodations, if an organization or tour operators enter into an agreement with a hotel or a group of hotels for the purpose of accommodation of employees, guests etc., on an agreed rate, it wouldn't come under the purview of TDS.
Rent of land, building and furniture for individuals and Hindu Undivided Family- 10%.
Rent of land, building or furniture in case of others- 10%.
TDS rates on rented Plant, machinery or equipment- 2%.
In the above sections, we have told you about the existing provisions on TDS on Rent. However, the central government has now expanded the scope of the tax deduction at source on rent paid in order to bring more people under the tax net.
According to the new provisions, this will cover all individuals and HUF, which are not covered till now. From now onwards, each individual and HUF will have to deduct tax at source on rent being paid, at the rate of 5% in case the amount of rent for each month or part of the month is more than Rs 50,000.
So, with the new provisions, those people who are earning rent by letting out the property to people who are not engaged in any business or profession and saving their TDS will also come into the tax slab.

Summer has officially kicked off and one of our favorite appetizers to share with our friends and family is a bruschetta bar trio. Plenty of juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, strawberries and a savory balsamic glaze make for an abundance of delicious flavor combinations that even fulfill your guests sweet tooth cravings!
When it comes to preparing dishes for summer gatherings, the easier the better. As the host, we don't want to be slaving in the kitchen while our guests are enjoying the warm weather, refreshing glasses of Cambria wine and good conversation.
It really can't get any easier than making a trio of bruschetta recipes that use a lot of the same ingredients and all get drizzled with a yummy balsamic reduction and freshly picked basil for garnish.
A classic recipe with a twist. This entertaining essential is loaded with fresh ingredients, including avocado and a delectable balsamic glaze that will certainly be a crowd favorite all summer long.
Dice tomatoes and avocado into small cubes and place in a small bowl with the olive oil, black pepper and sea salt. Toss and set aside.
Slice focaccia loaf into semi-thick slices and place on a pan in the oven to toast for approximately 3 minutes.
In a saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the balsamic, sugar, black pepper and sea salt. Stir consistently for approximately 5 minutes as the glaze begins to thicken. It should stick to the back of the spoon, but remove from the heat before it turns into a glob.
Place the tomato mixture onto the slices of focaccia and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Garnish with strips of basil.
A refreshing spin on a classic appetizer with grilled bread, your favorite combination of tomato, mozzarella and basil and a savory drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or thirds.
Chop the mozzarella into small cubes and mix together with the tomatoes, olive oil and black pepper.
Slice the focaccia bread into semi-thick slices and place on a pan in the oven to toast for approximately 3 minutes.
Place the tomato and mozzarella mixture on top of the slices of the bread, drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with strips of basil.
Sweet and salty is perfected in this strawberry bruschetta recipe with the combination of salty bacon and sweet, juicy strawberries. Throwing in the creamy goat cheese crumbles and candied balsamic glaze make it a delicious alternative to typical desserts.
Chop strawberries and place into small bowl.
In a frying pan, cook the bacon and chop into small pieces. Combine strawberries, goat cheese and bacon together.
Slice the french bread into semi-thick slices, brush with olive oil and place on a pan in the oven to toast for approximately 3 minutes.
In a saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the balsamic and brown sugar. Stir consistently for approximately 5 minutes as the glaze begins to thicken. It should stick to the back of the spoon, but remove from the heat before it turns into a glob.
Place the strawberry mixture on top of the slices of the bread, drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with strips of basil.
As the warm weather heats up we love to sip refreshing, chilled wines like Cambria's Benchbreak Chardonnay. It has bright fruit notes of citrus, pineapple, white peach and apple that are complimented with a crisp finish. We picture more summer afternoons spent on the patio kicking back with this trio of bruschetta recipes, good wine and even better friends. Hope you can join us!

Hiaure (Fries: De Lytse Jouwer, ) is een terpdorp in de gemeente Noardeast-Fryslân, in de Nederlandse provincie Friesland. Hiaure ligt ten noordwesten van Dokkum, ten zuidoosten van Brantgum en ten zuiden van Hantum. Het dorp ligt aan de Hantumerweg ten oosten van de Hantumervaart. In  telde het dorp  inwoners. De dorpen Hiaure, Hantum, Hantumeruitburen en Hantumhuizen worden samen de 4H-dorpen genoemd en vormen een gezamenlijke gemeenschap.

Geschiedenis
Wanneer het dorp en de terp precies zijn ontstaan is onduidelijk. De vorm van de terp doet denken aan de terpen van voor de christelijke jaartelling, maar de hoogte doet dan weer vermoeden dat deze van later datum is. De terp zou dan ergens in de vroege middeleeuwen zijn opgeworpen, voor de 11e eeuw. De terp is eeuwenlang dun bewoond geweest, pas in de 19e eeuw groeide het dorp wat. Van de ringweg of radiale paden van de terp zijn geen sporen meer te vinden.

Rond 1230 wordt er de plaats de Jeure vermeld in een Latijnse bron. Het onduidelijk of daarmee Hiaure werd bedoeld. In 1459 werd de plaats in ieder geval vermeld als Hiouren, in 1488 als upper Hyowr, in 1505 als Hyauwre, in 1511 als op ter Jouwer en in 1664 als Op de Jouwere. De betekenis van de plaatsnaam is onduidelijk. Etymologen opperen dat het is afgeleid van de veldnaam die naar de haver (hjouwer) verwijst, of dat verwijst naar de oever waarbij het is ontstaan of juist een oudere maar gereconstrueerde waternaam Gebharô (de uitstekende). De toevoeging 'Lytse' (kleine) is een toevoeging ter onderscheiding van de grotere plaats Joure.

Tot 1984 behoorde Hiaure tot gemeente Westdongeradeel. Van 1984 tot 2019 lag het in gemeente Dongeradeel, waarna deze opging in de nieuwe gemeente Noardeast-Fryslân.

Kerk
De kerk van Hiaure staat op een terp. De middeleeuwse kerk van tufsteen werd in 1869 vervanger door een nieuwe kerk omdat de oude kerk in slechte staat was. De kerk heeft een ingebouwde kerktoren met ingesnoerde spits met een mogelijk een 15e-eeuwse klok erin.

Op enige afstand staat de rest van de bewoning van het dorp. De klokkenstoel (en twee zerken) en terp zijn de enige rijksmonumenten van Hiaure.

Sport
Het dorp Hiaure heeft zelf geeft geen grote sportverenigingen maar in Hantum liggen de kaatsvereniging De Kletsers en korfbalvereniging DTL..

Cultuur
Het dorpshuis van de 4H-dorpen staat in Hantum en heet d'Ald Skoalle. In Hantum is er een toneelvereniging It Hantumer Ploechje en een gezamenlijke zangkoor SOS Gelegenheidskoar Rûm Sop.

Onderwijs
Het dorp is net als de andere 4H-dorpen voor het onderwijs aangewezen op de basisschool de Fjouwerhoeke in de buurtschap Hantumerhoek.

Chelsea 'not given up' on Romelu Lukaku return despite all signs pointing to NO — report
So you're saying there is a chance?

Photo by Emilio Andreoli - Inter/Inter via Getty Images
Inter Milan have been adamant that Romelu Lukaku would be the last player they would let go regardless of any financial difficulties. In turn, Romelu Lukaku, never one to shy away from speaking his mind in public, has been pretty clear himself that he's not looking to leave the Italian champions, and that he's looking forward to working with new head Simone Inzaghi, to keep repaying the team's faith in him.
And yet, Chelsea "have not given up" on tempting Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge, at least according to The Athletic's latest understandings. That's after two rejected bids from us, at least the second of which was no doubt a club record and probably even approaching, if not even exceeding, the magic €100m mark — this report doesn't really specify an amount, but the numbers out of the Italian rumor mill last week were all in the nine digits.
It's unclear how we expect to change either Inter's resolve or Lukaku's mind. Inter have other pieces they can sell to generate funds if needed (such as Lautaro Martinez, who's recently been linked with Arsenal) and Lukaku seems to be in a very good place professionally and is not expected to push for a move anytime soon. We can certainly lob a third bid in their direction, but it seems foolish to expect a different answer.
And if we keep upping the bid (and/or wages on offer), then we might as well do so with Erling Haaland instead, who would probably be a wiser investment both in terms of the financials and the sporting aspects (much younger, more resale value if needed, longer return on investment, perhaps even a better fit, etc.).
Not that either one's happening, but transfer columns still need to be written, so here we are.
Talk of #CFC stepping up interest in their former striker Romelu Lukaku has increased in recent days so what's going on? I explain all here: https://t.co/BNFSfEWCFv

As some of you may know, I have training in a device called the CapnoTrainer through Better Physiology (now the Graduate School for Breathing Sciences).
For a review on the CapnoTrainer and the courses I took, plus why you need to look at Breathing as a Behavior, click here!
In 2 days, I am excited to get an addition to The CapnoTrainer called Capno Plus. It gives additional features that will be very helpful, especially in my cervical, headache, and TMD caseload. The one I am most excited about is EMG that can be overlaid with the capnograph readings on screen.
Why is this relevant? Check out the slide from Dr. Peter Litchfield below.
The case is a PT who was still having headaches despite practicing and "mastering" her relaxed breathing. This is another example of why "6 breaths a minute" may still lead to dysfunctional chemistry and mechanics.
EDGE Mobility System will soon be selling both the CapnoTrainer and Capno Plus, as well as being associated with The Graduate School of Breathing Sciences. The DipMDT who initially introduced me to the CapnoTrainer is also becoming Dean of their new Doctorate Program for PTs in Applied Breathing Sciences.
Did I mention The Capno Plus also does HRV? I will be delving into that for the athletes I see in my upcoming Texas Venture later this year!
Demonstrations of both the CapnoTrainer and Capno Plus will be part of my Certificate in Temporomandibular Management through Nxt Gen PT.

Q: List or Dictionary or something else?
I want to save some coordinates in a dictionary, BUT the xPos should be twice or more in the dictionary.

The problem is that the following exception appears:
ArgumentException: An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary.

How can I solve the problem ?
I allready thought that I can use a List or an Array, but I want a Key and a Value.
After I saved the coordinates in a Dict (or something else) I want to check whether a new coordinate is a certain distance of the existing ones.
The xPos is allways the same:
There is a "chart" where I place some blocks in a row with different yPos.
1. Block: xPos = 0, yPos = random
2. Block: xPos = 1, yPos = random
...
n. Block: xPos = 80, yPos = random
n+1. Block: xPos = 0, yPos = 20 + random
I have three iterations, for each 80 Blocks are placed.

SORRY for my bad english :|
I hope you could understand.

A: You can create a class (or a struct) to keep and use your coordinates, instead of a dictionary.
The class can have Key and Value properties and also additional fields if needed.

A: You should save the values like List, where Position contains:
public int X { get; set; }
public int Y { get; set; }

Or you can use some another class/struct from C# or some 3rd libraries (2d vector, point, etc) depends on where you want to use it. :)

A: Or you can use List of Tuple to store list of int-int pairs without creating new class and without worrying about duplicate values :
.....

It is the simplest and quickest of prayers, but it's one that I whisper a lot.
I'll admit this right here: I made a big aunting mistake during the Thanksgiving break while driving back with my sister and her three kids.
An oil tanker fell off the railroad tracks because erosion from the flood caused by Hurricane Agnes washed away the railroad ties in June 1972.
The oil tanker rolled off the track and down the hill. When it rolled down the hill, years later a tree grew between the hill and the tanker. Today, the oil tanker is rusty and dented.
As I write this, we are almost done moving the last drips and draps out of Misty Lake and cleaning the townhouse. I never realized how emotional this process is! Stuff just seems to keep coming out of the house! It's amazing what two people, who lived full single lives for 15 years, can cram into one house during the first few years of marriage.
I have written obituaries before, and I have written them for people who were friends and acquaintances. But this obituary for a friend isn't running in my newspaper.
I have been looking for Pamela's obituary online all morning. I haven't found it. She died last Wednesday. I have emailed her sister and hope to learn her family's arrangements.
My mom lives in Florida, so I can't celebrate with her. Cards, phone calls and a box of chocolate covered fruit delivered a day late have to suffice.
For two months I have been trying to find the time – and headspace – to write about post-surgery. I've thought about blogs on Lilly & Marshall from How I Met Your Mother and today's news of Osama bin Laden's death continues to compete with anything I had planned.
So, I'll work backward from one and save the other for later.


Nicknamed "The Big Unit", Johnson was one of the most feared pitchers in baseball history. The 6‐foot‐10‐inch left hander was celebrated for having one of the most dominant fastballs in the game. He began his professional career with the Jamestown Expos of the New York‐Penn League during the 1985 season, starting 8 games and striking out 21 batters. In 22 MLB seasons Johnson would amass 303 victories. His 4,875 strikeouts are the most all‐time by a left‐handed pitcher and second overall behind only Nolan Ryan. He was named to 10 all‐star teams and won 5 Cy Young Awards. In 2001, he became a World Series champion with the Arizona Diamondbacks and was named World Series MVP.

The Shipwreck
Date Sunk: January 23, 1900.
Cause: Collision.
Location: Southwest end of Naushon Island, Vineyard Sound.
After loading a cargo of hay at New London, the steamer Ardandhu was on its way to Halifax where it was to load potatoes, fish and general merchandise, the whole bound for Havana, Cuba. This was to be the freighter's first and last voyage for the Munson Steamship Line of New York City.
At 3:30AM, January 23, 1900, while off Robinson's Hole, Vineyard Sound, Ardandhu collided with the Metropolitan liner Herman Winter, bound from Boston for New York. Striking amidships, the liner's bow nearly cut Ardandhu in half. Apparently there was a misunderstanding of whistle signals. Officers and crew of the Metropolitan liner claimed they made a single whistle blast indicating their intent to go to the right and leave Ardandhu on the port side. The crew of Ardandhu claimed Herman Winter made two blasts indicating it intended to pass the eastbound steamer to the left. "This would have put the Ardandhu directly across the Herman Winter's bow, and heading for shore, the position it was in when the collision occurred." Ardanhu's watertight compartments kept the vessel from sinking immediately and Herman Winter stayed in the breach until the freighter settled away as the compartments eventually filled. There was a rush by the crew to get off their stricken vessel and it was thought that all had been saved until a head count revealed the engineer and second officer were missing. Herman Winter stood by Ardandhu looking for signs of life. The freighter drifted onto the southwest end of Naushon Island and settled by the stern, with the bow sticking out of the water. After assessing that itself was secure, Herman Winter started for Vineyard Haven to report the incident.
On January 24th, Captain Dundas returned to the wreck site with the Boston Towboat Wrecking Company's agent. They found that the freighter had slid off the bar on which it stranded and was now lying on an even keel in 60 feet of water, the masts and smokestack breaking the surface. As the wreck lay dangerously close to nearby shipping lanes it was considered a hazard to navigation.
Constructed: 1893, at Belfast, Ireland by Workman, Clark and Co. Lim.
Construction details: single steel deck and a wood sheathed steel spar deck; poop deck, 23 feet long; bridge deck, 70 feet long; 4 cemented bulkheads; water ballasted in a 202 foot long, cellular constructed, double bottom; electric lights.
Crew: 31; Master: G. Dundas (1898).
Owners: Clark and Service, Glasgow; Munson Steamship Line, New York.
Home or Hailing Port: Glasgow.
Former Name(s) and date(s):
Official number: 102594. Country: Britain.
Other Comments: Engines and boilers built by Workman, Clark and Co. Lim.
The Merritt Wrecking Company was contracted to work on the freighter. On January 25th, 1900, divers reported favorably on the possibility of floating the steamer. However, being in an exposed position, heavy seas and strong currents would make the cost of raising it too great. By the 29th, it was assumed the vessel would not be raised. However, on February 12th, Ardandhu's owners closed a contract with the Merritt Wrecking Company to raise the vessel. Local wreckers thought it would be a large and expensive job due to the currents and it was not until April that the Merritt Wrecking Company's steamer, I.J. Merritt, was able to visit the wreck site to determine the feasibility of raising her. They found the steamer had settled 15 feet into the mud and sand, which would make the salvage prohibitively expensive.
In lieu of raising the vessel, on October 13th work commenced on the task of blowing up the wreck. By November 14th the Government was still dynamiting Ardandhu's remains.

Pay-per-click (PPC) can be a key player in many modern digital marketers' online strategy.
It's not really surprising that PPC is something everyone wants to try out when 41% of all search engine clicks go to the top 3 paid ads on a search results page. That's pretty sweet pickings for someone that knows they can make money from the sales or leads their ads generate.
Search engines have invested huge amounts to make paid search results better than the organic ones that come just beneath. Far from being as annoying as the overly intrusive banner adverts of yesterday, PPC ads have now become seamlessly intertwined with a browsers online search journey.
New features like Google Ad Extensions have helped increase browser satisfaction even more. With adverting as a whole resulting in around 64.6% of consumers clicking on Google ads when shopping online.
In fact, thanks to their focus on keywords, users arriving on a page through PPC ads are 50% more likely to make a purchase than organic visitors. What's more, PPC ads increase brand awareness by a whopping 80%.
Another appeal of PPC is the immediate results it can return. Get it right and a PPC campaign will drive traffic, leads and customers. They can also bring significant revenue as soon as an ad starts running.
Great! But there's a problem.
PPC as it stands today isn't quite as easy as it was just a few years ago.
Nailing your businesses' PPC campaign can lead to fruitful results. But, it requires planning, time, hard work and energy to make a PPC campaign bear fruit in 2019.
Get it wrong, and neglect your PPC or encounter any problems beyond your control. Which in turn can effect your campaign. Then it could be one of the most expensive and wasteful costs in your digital marketing strategy.
That's why carrying out regular checks and ensuring your PPC campaigns are working as they should is crucial. Otherwise you could be throwing money at something that's not giving anything back in return. No business wants that. Yet, all over the world PPC campaigns are left to work away with little to no oversight.
So you've laid some solid foundations for your PPC campaign. You've kicked off your PPC keyword research and whittled your ideas down to a keywords list. You've created killer copy for your ad and have a quality, optimised landing page containing relevant copy and a clear call to action.
Your budget is set and your ads are all live. So what's next? Sit back and wait for the sales to roll in?
Not quite, in our experience you can take the first months planned spend and write it off for most campaigns. As soon as you turn on, your competitors will be all over your site like a rash figuring out what you do and at what price point. If you generate leads you'll find your invalid rate is at its highest in the first few weeks. Just as opposing marketing teams suss out your offer.
The truth is that when your PPC campaign is live, the hard work isn't over, it's just started. Don't fall into the trap of neglecting to check on your ads. A PPC campaign isn't something you can set up and forget about.
Refine your landing pages modifying your CTA to line up with search queries you start showing for to boost conversion rates.
Review any costly keywords – if they are expensive and underperforming you may consider stopping using them.
But checking your campaigns isn't just about seeing what keywords are working.
If your heating isn't working but your boiler is, the first thing you're likely to do is start checking your radiators. In a car, your engine might work but the car might not be moving because perhaps your brakes are stuck on. With PPC, sometimes keywords aren't the only thing you need to keep an eye on.
Like a mechanic checks a car is in working order, you need to go over each aspect of your campaigns to make sure something isn't holding you back. After all, nobody wants to be bidding on keywords and receiving nothing in return.
Here at Report Central we check and test that our keywords are triggering ads every single day. Several times a day in fact. Not only do we check our keywords, but we track our landing page load speeds, form successes, CRM integrations and even if Google is working.
How do we check if Google is working and what did we do when we saw a glitch?
We use a third-party tool called iSearch to see what a user's browser would see in our desired search locations. The iSearch tool has the functionality to simulate live Google Ads auctions by geo location, language and device.
Basically it allows us to pretend to be in the local area that we are running a campaign in. We need to do this slight bit of espionage. If we're running search ads in the USA from Manchester in the UK then if we were to search "Billboard Advertising" from our office we'd get a result for Billboard Advertising in Manchester. This doesn't really help us see what our competitors are doing.
It was by carrying out regular keyword checks that we noticed that one of our clients (and their competitor's) adverts were not being triggered by their core term. Although our organic search results were all there.
It's at this point that you have two real possibilities to consider.
Google has banned your keyword.
Not ones to back away from a problem, we got on the phone to Google to explain the problem – read our post on what happened here.
After several more hours and conversations with Google's support, our query got pushed up a level as a possible glitch in the algorithm and BOOM! magically within the hour the keyword came back online. Although it was never confirmed that we spotted a glitch, we think the relevant team at Google discovered the glitch and fixed it.
Ideally, you need to be checking your PPC campaigns every day, several times if you have the resources.
Regular checking and reporting helps you observe how well your ads are comparing to the competition, as well as ensuring that your ads are entering auctions as expected – which you can also monitor from your Google Ads interface. One day if you're as obsessive about your campaigns as we are you'll be able to "feel" problems (but that could also be excess caffeine).
Daily checks not only give you peace of mind that everything is running smoothly and working as it should in your PPC campaign, but they also mean you can perform regular account optimisations and ensure you are following Google's best guidelines.
It's always better to be safe than sorry, and in the unlikely event that you do encounter a problem like we did, you'll have the confidence and knowledge that there is a reason beyond your control for the sudden disappearance of your best performing keywords adverts.
Next Steps – if you've contacted Google support and still don't have the answers, why not ask us?
For further guidance or a helping hand with your PPC campaign the Report Central team are always here to help. Why not see how our PPC team can find the little things that make a huge difference for your campaign?

Q: Question about a charge injection compensation network for analog switches I'm studying this kind of CMOS switch:

With the switch in Fig. 2.17 in the on state, after a transient, we have Vout=Vin hence the drain to source voltage of M1 goes to zero. The MOS enters the linear region and its on-resistance is approximated by

Assuming that the gate voltage is driven by a clock signal, we have the problem of the charge injection: when the clock goes down, the transistor M1 turns off and the charge of the channel splits approximately into two. Half of the charge goes toward left (i.e. the low impedance path), instead half of the charge is deposited on the top plate of the capacitor, thus causing a voltage drop at the output (which, as a consequence, becomes smaller when the switch M1 is off). When M1 turns on again (i.e. high level of the clock), the output voltage returns to be equal to the input voltage.
The book on which I'm studying proposes some solutions to alleviate the charge injection; among these, the following circuit is reported:

The problem is that I don't understand how this circuit works: the author of my book just explains how this circuit behaves with the charge injection problem (when M1 turns off, half of the channel charge goes to the inverting terminal, causing an offset at the input of the op-amp; but at the same time also M2 turns off, thus half of the charge of the channel of M2 goes to the non-inverting terminal and, thanks to the high CMRR, no problem occurs at the output), but he does not explain how this circuit works as a switch. I assume that the working principle of this circuit must be more or less the same of the "original" switch of Figure 2.17, but then why do we have an integrator circuit? Does M1, when it is on, work in the linear region (and thus is equivalent to a small resistor) as in the "original" circuit of Figure 2.17?
In the "original" circuit of Figure 2.17, when the transistor is on, vout=vin; in the circuit of Figure 2.24, when M1 is on, we have an integrator circuit and thus a linear output voltage (and thus vout cannot be equal to vin).
Thank you

A: I think the complete circuit for the image you show should look like this.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
The circuit works in two phases, \$\phi\$ and \$\overline{\phi}\$. The figure indicates the phase when the switches are on.
In the \$\overline{\phi}\$ Phase
The input voltage is sampled on the capacitor \$C_2\$. Note that \$V_{out}\$ will be ground due to the feedback. So, you cannot use an operational amplifier for its implementation but a \$G_m\$ stage.
In the \$\phi\$ Phase
Capacitor \$C_2\$ is shorted and all its charge appears on the \$C_1\$ capacitor, giving a gain of \$\frac{C_2}{C_1}\$.
This type of circuit is useful since it combines sampling and amplification of input voltage in one circuit which relaxes the resolution requirement of the following stage in ADC.
I think you already understand how it cancels the charge injection. So, hopefully it answers your question.
