Indian rupee drops to 19.05 vs dirham for the first time
The rupee erased early gains to hit an all-time low of 70.1 per dollar on Tuesday, as concerns about Turkey's economic woes persisted.
The fall in the rupee is leading to a widening of India's current account deficit, when the value of imports exceeds the value of exports, they say.
The intervention aided the rupee stabilise just a tad below 70 to a United States dollars at 69.98 around 11.05 a.m.

A weak trend in Asia coupled with sell-offs on Wall Street last week and a slump in the Turkish lira dampened the sentiment globally, brokers said. The question is whether the Turkey contagion will spread to other emerging markets. Although it recovered quickly to 69.97 at the interbank foreign exchange market, the drop left everyone talking online.
Yesterday, the rupee had plunged by Rs 1.08, or 1.57 per cent, to a record low of 69.91 against the United States currency amid fears that Turkish currency turmoil could turn out into a global financial crisis.
Asian currencies except Japanese yen trade on a weaker footing. Previous resistance for the currency was 69.50 and a fall below that triggered stop losses from importers. "On the downside, support is around 69.30 levels", Rushabh Maru-Research Analyst at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, told Moneycontrol.

Thai SMEs, start-ups to offer sustainability debt
Bonds via private placement can be offered to no more than 10 investors per issuance
Patricia Chiu 16 Jan 2023
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Thailand will soon allow small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups to issue and offer sustainability debt securities through crowdfunding and private placement channels.
The Capital Market Supervisory Board approved the new measure, SEC secretary-general Ruenwadee Suwanmongkol says, to allow SMEs and start-ups to participate in sustainable development.
Under the new rules, SMEs and start-ups can offer sustainability bonds via private placement to no more than 10 investors per issuance.
As well, the SEC will allow a crowdfunding system to open opportunities for businesses of all sizes, including SMEs and start-ups.
Fundraising through sustainability bonds has totalled some 492 billion baht (US$14.9 billion) as of December 2022, according to SEC data, however, the majority came from large companies.
The SEC believes sustainability is central to the strategy and business operations of businesses "of all types and sizes", Ruenwadee adds, hence, the decision to push SMEs and start-ups towards sustainability and making their business operations more sustainable.

DNA genetic engineering CRISPR genetics genomics
Lego blocks for precise gene editing
Gene editing, the molecular technique which allows DNA modifications, is evolving to an unprecedented precision. CRISPR-Cas9, the groundbreaking tool used in this context, is now more and more precise thanks to...lego blocks!

by Jared Carlson-Stevermer | PhD student
Jared Carlson-Stevermer is PhD student at Department of Biomedical Engineering, Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI, USA.
DNA is the core-element of life as we know it. It can be imagined as a long helical double strand composed of sequences of information written with four chemical "letters" called nucleotides. Determinate sequences of letters delineate stretches of DNA called genes, which in turn are used by the cell as references to decode the information kept within the DNA itself. Gene editing, precisely the molecular act of modifying these DNA sequences, has the potential to revolutionize the field of personalized medicine. Many complex health issues such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, obesity and Alzheimer's disease have a genetic component. The ability to correct these abnormalities could greatly increase the quality of life for numerous patients and provide a one-time treatment paradigm for patients rather than a lifetime of drug prescriptions.
Genome editing typically initiates through the creation of a break within the DNA strand. Once the strand is broken, it can then be repaired by the cellular mechanisms through two main processes called non-homolgous end joining (NHEJ) and homology directed repair (HDR). In the majority of cases, NHEJ is used by the cell to repair the breaks. In NHEJ, the strands are reattached in whatever way possible by adding and subtracting bits of DNA until a match is made. Being a trial-and-error mechanism, NHEJ may alter the original sequence because it causes new, undesirable mutations in the genome. Undesirable mutations may lead to a whole panel of challenges for the cellular environment, ultimately leading in some cases to disease formation (e.g. cancer).
The second repair mechanism, HDR, uses a precise fragment of DNA as a molecular glue to tie the broken strands together and act as a template to precisely correct (or modify in the case of gene editing) the genome with the desired sequence. This process is often referred to as genome surgery. The possibility of favoring HDR over NHEJ carries major implications for the adoption of genome editing therapeutics in the clinic.
Recent technical advances in the field of genome editing use the breakthrough technique called CRISPR/Cas9. In this system, two components are required for editing: a single strand of RNA called a "short guide RNA" (sgRNA) used to find the gene to be edited within the DNA sequence, and a protein component, Cas9, which functions as a pair of molecular scissors. In order to promote the genome surgery, a donor strand of DNA, which will be used as a template during the HDR, needs to be delivered as well. While the two CRISPR components (Cas9 and sgRNA) can be combined to form one larger complex outside the cell, the donor/template DNA strand must be transported into the cell and localized to the break site independently.
In order to promote a precise genome surgery (HDR), we reasoned that it might be advantageous to create a system where we could attach the genome editing machinery (Cas9 and sgRNA) and the donor DNA together like a set of Legos. Thus, all the materials needed for the gene editing would be brought into the cell simultaneously and localized on the gene to be edited.
To build this Lego set we first modified the sgRNA component of the CRISPR machinery. This modification enabled us to snap in a second protein, streptavidin, and form a bigger complex that would serve as our central building block. We chose streptavidin since this protein is capable of binding any molecule that is attached to another molecule called biotin (also known as vitamin B7). Biotin is a commonly used molecular modification for many different biological compounds such as DNA, other proteins, or fluorescent tags. Thanks to the versatile properties of streptavidin and biotin, we can pair a Cas9-streptavidin complex with any "biotinylated" molecule and build a larger gene editing complex, snapping in components as needed.
In these experiments, we attached a biotin molecule to the template DNA to tether it directly to the genome editing machinery. After introducing this complex into cells, we found that we increased the ratio of precise genome surgery to imprecise editing on average 10-fold and reversed the balance between these two processes. We also attached fluorescent tags to the complex that enabled the selection of successful genome editing within a population of cells.
In summary, we have been able to create a Lego-like tool where a variety of different components can be attached to the genome editing machinery in order to promote precise genome surgery. With further development, this tool may help us overcome some of the barriers to introducing genome editing in the clinic and lead to a world of brand new therapeutics.

I know it's late. I've been taking pictures but with all my travel it's put me way behind. In fact I think I still have one or two pictures to add to Picture Summer. But I am almost there. This class was from Tracey Clark of "Big Picture Classes". I highly recommend the class. I will be also doing Picture Winter and then I will be done with all of the seasons.


This is one of the most auspicious yogas in Vedic Astrology. This is where a person's religion or spirituality becomes his duty or work.
So, lets see What is Dharma-Karmadhipati Yoga?
In a horoscope, 9th house is house of religion and spirituality. Likewise, 10th house is house of duty, work or actions. So, whenever Lord of 10th house and Lord of 9th house connect with each other, it creates a Dharma-Karmadhipati Yoga. For example, in this horoscope, 9th house has Leo Sign therein, Leo's Lord is Sun. 10th house has Virgo sign therein, Virgo's Lord is Mercury. Now, Sun and Mercury both are sitting together in 10th house. Here, it creates Dharma-Karmadhipati Yoga, which means this person will take spiritual duties in life. One of the example I can think of right now is Deepak Chopra. This yoga makes a person very well-verse and knowledgeable about spiritual texts. These are the people who can give a whole new meaning to an age old religious text which none ever thought off. As 9th house is also a house of long distance travels, this yoga makes these people to travel to other countries or far distant places to preach and teach about religion.
Now, lets see different ways in which this yoga can form.
1. The most powerful is the one in picture, where 9th house lord and 10th house lord are in conjunction in 10th house itself. This is THE strongest Dharma-Karmadhipati Yoga. Here, along with Dharma-Karmadhipati Yoga, it also creates a Raj-Yoga as Lord of a Kendra house is in conjunction with Lord of a Trikona House.
2. Second way is when 9th house lord and 10th house lord exchange each other houses. It means, if in this picture, Sun (Lord of 9th house) sits in 10th house and Mercury (Lord of 10th house) sits in 9th house. Here, along with Dharma-Karmadhipati Yoga, it also creates a Parivartana-Yoga.
3. Third way is 9th house lord and 10th house lord aspect each other or their is one planet aspecting the other.
Now, this yoga is most powerful in Kendra Houses (Houses # 1, 4, 7 and 10), Trikona Houses (Houses # 1, 5 and 9) and Upachaya Houses (Houses # 3, 6, 10 and 11). Why Upachaya Houses are good for this yoga? I feel it is because of the reason that Upachaya Houses grow/improve with time and our knowledge of any text (either spiritual or academic) also improves with time.
As always, this yoga will also come in to force when person goes through Mahadasha/Antardasha of planets involved.
@ prasad - it is active.
@ TG - yes it is.

Are You Breaking Up With the Internet?
I have a problem. I love technology and I really love the internet.
Like many of you I anxiously anticipate the happenings of the world when I wake up. I'm guilty of checking my phone for news from sun up to sun down. Sometimes I fall asleep looking at my phone or my iPad and I'm always engaged with social media in one way or another. I'm the epitome of a tech crazed millennial. I can't ever seem to get enough.
Technology has made the world smaller and so easy to stay connected. It's addictive and distracting, and many of us fall for it every single day. I always end up wondering how I get so much accomplished while taking quick glances at news alerts and articles. Shoot, I wonder sometimes if I could get even more done. Don't answer that for me, I'm pretty sure I know what you're thinking.
Anywho, I was having a conversation a few weeks back about a few of my friends deleting social media and later ran across this Time article about funny man/writer Aziz Ansari giving up the interwebs.
Don't we all Aziz, don't we all…Well, sure some of you don't. The internet is pretty fun but what I took away from this article and my chitty-chats was that there is so much trash that we're feeding our brains for no good reason. We all know Trump is there, we all know natural disasters are a thing, we all know folks will put up a fabulous picture of their world travels and pretend they don't still eat ramen or Easy Mac, we all know that everyone will show the best of themselves and if they don't it's because the sub-Tweet game is strong. We know those things are real but what we don't know is how to turn away and take care of ourselves.
Let's be clear, I'm not giving up the internet or my beloved social media, that's unreasonable for me but what I can do is lay off and maybe delete an app or two. I can make sure to be aware I'm not grabbing for my phone every five minutes like some red eyed tech junky. I can also make sure to work hard at not comparing myself to all the other amazing people I know. It's unhealthy and ridiculous.
Happy New Year! Where Did the Time Go?
Cardi B: Guilty Pleasure or Just a Pleasure?


I don't know how to put it, but i was defraging my WINDOWS drive and when it froze the last time, i restarted and then my whole windows partition is gone, i've re-installed XP and still installing drivers and stuff. Now defraggler is working, LOL.
Okay so I've been using CCleaner, Speecy, Defraggler I installed nforce and GFX card latest drivers and after restarting whenever I run Defraggler it freezes up my system not even the window opens. I have re-installed it 3-4times and restarted many times but its of no use. Its only happening in Defraggler, CCleaner is working fine. P.S. i used two registry tweaks but not related to Defraggler. FIRST: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata DWORD: DisableRemovable=1 SECOND: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom DWORD:AutoRun=1 THANKS!

It's good news for Sony – Marvel's Spider-Man is the UK's no.1 for a third consecutive week.
With FIFA 19 out this Friday, it's doubtful Spidey will make it for a fourth week. There's a chance it'll make a triumphant return later in the year, however, especially with Black Friday approaching.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider continues to sell well too, claiming #2 for a second week running.
NBA 2K19 fell to #4 during its second week on sale, meanwhile, giving way to Crash Bandicoot which rises to #3.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and GTA V then hold onto #5 and #6 (respectively).
Super Mario Odyssey is up three places to #7, F1 2018 sticks around at #8, PUBG rises to #9, and Sonic Mania Plus re-enters the top ten at #10. The blue blur was at #12 last week.
Discounts have helped a few older titles re-enter the top 20 – Dishonored: Death of the Outsider climbs to #12, while Resident Evil VII is up from #31 to #13.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is back in the chart too, re-surfacing at #37. The recent Switch reveal probably had something to do with that.
Lastly, two of last year's sports titles are about depart the top 40 – FIFA 18 clings in at #39, while WWE 2K18 is at #40. This is the life a sports game leads – popular for a year, then pushed to the wayside the moment its successor arrives. It's the circle of life.
There weren't a great deal of new releases out last week, and as such this week's UK top 40 is devoid of all new entries.
We were expecting Namco's Inversion to enter in the bottom half of the top 40 but it hasn't even managed that. According to Chart-Track it entered at a lowly #50. It's not total doom and gloom for the gravity bending shooter though – it's in at #22 in the Xbox 360 chart and #23 in the PlayStation 3 chart. It could have performed worse, but not by a great deal.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is the UK's #1 for the fourth week running. Blocky Batman is then followed by London 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man, Dead Island: GoTY Edition and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Solider.
After entering the chart last week at a respectable #19, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy has already left the top 40. That's a bit of a shame as it's rather good. Its vanishing act could be down to lack of stock however – we've hardly seen any copies while we've been out and about.
Even with the The Amazing Spider-Man movie out now, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has managed to hold onto the top spot of the UK chart for a third week running.
Spider-Man has to make do with #3, as London 2012 has risen up to #2. Spec Ops: The Line drops to #4 and at #5 it's a new entry (of sorts) – Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy hasn't done too badly arriving at #19. We hope that developers have realised now that releasing 3DS demos on the eShop does wonders for sales figures.
The last new entry is PC MMO The Secret World at #38. That's just the sales for the boxed retail version, we should probably point out. Apparently it's the most refreshing MMO in years.
Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise misses out on a top 40 placing but enters the Wii chart just shy of the top 10 at #11.
We very nearly had an all-new UK top 5 this week. Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes remains at #1 and is followed by new entries The Amazing Spider-Man at #2, Spec Ops: The Line at #3 and London 2012 at #4. FIFA 12 falls from #2 to #5.
See, Activision. If you release decent Spider-Man games, plenty of people will go out and buy them.
Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection is back in at #10 due to the release of the PS Vita version. Apparently sales were only a little bit behind PS Vita-exclusives Gravity Rush and Unit 13.
Not far behind is The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy – which we forgot to mention in last week's new release round-up because the dates kept changing – at #11.
Mass Effect 3 has shot back up to #15, due to price cuts. A few online retailers were selling it for £14.99 last week. We assume that the alternative ending DLC has helped fuel sales of it too.

Q: Automatic kernel security updates no long being installed A while back my /boot partition filled up on my Ubuntu server 14.04 install. This caused an automatic kernel security update to fail and be in a partially installed state. To fix the problem I removed the kernel that was partially installed, then ran apt-get autoremove to clear out the boot partition. At that point I thought everything was working properly.
Just recently I noticed, however, that the kernel version on this box is different from my other server 14.04 install. This other machine never had the problems with the boot partition, which is why I think that is what is causing the problem.
So the machine that had the boot partition issue is at 3.13.0-68-generic while the machine that has not had the boot partition issue is at 3.13.0-76-generic.
How do I get the machine to resume auto-installing kernel security updates?
Here is the output of apt-cache policy linux-generic
apt-cache policy linux-generic
linux-generic:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.13.0.76.82
  Version table:
     3.13.0.76.82 0

     3.13.0.24.28 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

A: The linux-generic package is not installed for some reason. That's why you do not get kernel updates.
You can install it by running:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic

COMMANDER AIRCRAFT TO RESTART PRODUCTION
Commander Aircraft, the Bethany, Oklahoma aircraft manufacturer that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2002, has reached an agreement with Tiger Aircraft for an investment that will allow resumption of Commander production this year.
Tiger Aircraft, the Martinsburg, West Virginia, manufacturer of the four-place, single-engine Tiger airplane, will purchase 80 percent of Aviation General, the publicly traded holding company that owns Commander Aircraft. The agreement must be approved by more than 400 shareholders of the parent company and by the Delaware bankruptcy court handling the case. Commander Aircraft is once again taking orders.

HUSKY SALES RISE WITH THE ECONOMY
As the final days of 2003 wound down, Husky A-1B sales turned upward, providing Aviat Aircraft with their best year over the past several years. "The initial drop-off in sales lagged behind the recession," said Aviat President Stu Horn, "and now they are keeping pace with the recovery, if not exceeding it. Part of this is undoubtedly due to refinements in our dealer program along with a shift in owner expectations for the aircraft. It's not just a bush plane anymore. The Husky is so versatile that it is now appealing to a much wider audience than the demographic for which it was originally created."
Aviat Aircraft manufactures the Husky, Pup, and Pitts Special along with kits for the Eagle Biplane. For more information on the Husky, visit AviatAircraft.com or phone the company at 307-885-3151.
POWER FLOW CUTS PRICES ON TUNED EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR 180 HP MOONEYS
Power Flow Systems has announced a $500 reduction in the cost of their STC'd tuned exhaust system for 180 hp Mooneys. The special sale price of $3,990 will last until the end of June.
Power Flow's proven technology substantially increases the evacuation of exhaust gases from the engine's cylinders, resulting in more efficient operation and enhanced performance numbers. In the case of the M20, models B, C, D, and G, owners can expect speed increases of up to 11 miles per hour. Rate of climb improves as much as 300 feet per minute, while the engine runs cooler and with lower fuel flows at the same speeds.
Earlier models of the Mooney may require an exhaust strap and support rod heat shields which are also available through Power Flow.
The company is currently developing an exhaust system for the 200 horsepower Mooneys and expects to complete certification by summer.
For more information, contact the company at 386-253-8833 or visit their website at powerflowsystems.com.

MEGGITT TO PROVIDE NEW GENERATION AUTOPILOT FOR ECLIPSE 500
Meggitt's avionics facility in Texas has been selected by Eclipse Aviation to provide the digital autopilot for its new Eclipse 500 aircraft.
The new autopilot will be a revolutionary flight guidance system based on modern technology which incorporates Smart brushless motor servos for high reliability, increased functionality and lower weight. It is expected to receive approval to the Federal Aviation Administration's Technical Standard Order TSO-C9c (Automatic Pilots) by mid 2005.
Vern Raburn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eclipse Aviation, said: "Meggitt's newest autopilot, which we flew in Meggitt's demonstrator plane, convinced us that Meggitt has the expertise to deliver a great autopilot. The Meggitt digital autopilot, which will be featured in the Eclipse 500, will go even further, delivering functionality and performance to our aircraft that today can only be found in much larger aircraft."
The contract includes on-site support services in the first year of production and in future years at prescribed build rates.

DOOR SEAL KIT AVAILABLE
Executive Twin Aviation has been developing and testing a new door seal for the Piper PA-28, PA-32 and PA-34 model aircraft for over a year. This testing was completed in September, 2003 and the new seal kit installation has been approved by the FAA Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) and the FAA Manufacturing Inspection District office (MIDO) and has been issued a FAA-PMA for installation on the above aircraft with other brands to follow in the near future.
The new seal was developed from a special rubber compound that meets Military Specifications and FAA requirements for aircraft seals. The rubber compound developed for the seal has a memory, compresses, and conforms to the sealing surface providing a perfect seal. The seal comes with pressure sensitive adhesive that makes it easy to apply and bonds well with any metal surface painted or bare.
The new seal does not install on the door(s), but instead installs in the channel on the fuselage opening(s) which allows for complete closing and sealing of the doors. This provides for an air and water tight seal. A seal kit was also designed for the baggage doors which have had a history of leaking water.
Each seal kit contains detailed instructions, an engineering drawing for installation of the new seal, including instructions for adjustment of the door as well as removal of the old seal from the door(s). A tube of super glue is also provided to bond the cut ends.

AVIATION TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. SELECTS ALBUQUERQUE FOR MANUFACTURING
Aviation Technology Group, Inc. has selected Albuquerque, NM as the manufacturing site for its high performance, two-seat Javelin jet, ATG President George Bye announced.
ATG expects to employ more than 200 people in manufacturing and engineering as the company begins production of the Javelin in the next three to four years.
The New Mexico State Investment Council has approved a significant investment in ATG. The State Investment Council's action follows a recommendation from its Private Equity Committee during a meeting Tuesday January 20, 2004.
Bye said ATG is planning a 100,000 square foot production plant to be located at Albuquerque's Double Eagle II Airport, although the company may start out with a 10,000 square foot facility at Albuquerque International Airport. The City of Albuquerque is finalizing the details of an agreement with ATG.
ATG selected Albuquerque after a search that began in the late spring of 2003 and considered eighteen cities in thirteen states throughout the nation. Bye said, New Mexico's business climate coupled with Albuquerque's economic and physical assets offered distinct advantages over the alternative sites.
New Mexico's growing aerospace community, quality workforce and proximity to research labs were also compelling influences in ATG's final decision, Bye said. By developing the facility near Eclipse Aviation, ATG will be able to create important connections to aid in the manufacturing of the Javelin. ATG will have better access to similar suppliers, raw materials and the same type of skilled workers.
ATG's website is avtechgroup.com.
JOHN KING NAMED RECIPIENT OF NATA 2004 EXCELLENCE IN PILOT TRAINING AWARD

'Blasphemy laws' – Stopping the rot
Posted on August 29, 2009 by beenasarwar
My recent article on the 'blasphemy' laws, slightly edited version published in Dawn, Aug 29, op-ed as 'A misguided mindset' – http://tinyurl.com/lzx6ux
Karachi, Aug 26
Stopping the rot
The introspection, debate and outrage generated a month ago by the attacks on two villages in Gojra on July 31 and Aug 1 may be out of public sight, as happened all too often in the past, but the nine people murdered and the homes and churches gutted are not out of mind. Neither is Najeeb Zafar, the young factory owner in Sheikhupura, Punjab, killed on August 4 for allegedly desecrating Quranic verses when he removed a calendar from a wall. The following day, police in Sanghar, Sindh, saved a similarly accused 60-year old woman, Akhtari Malkani by taking her in protective custody.
On the surface, these incidents were motivated by passions aroused by allegations of blasphemy or disrespect to the holy Quran. These criminal charges can be punishable by death – but this is a punishment for the state to administer, not private citizens. The real motivation remains settling scores, a pattern identified over twenty years ago when the first 'blasphemy murder' took place – that of the Punjabi poet and teacher Naiamat Ahmar in Faisalabad in 1992.
The pattern involves one party targeting another, alleging blasphemy while the real motives are personal enmity or economic rivalry as Zubeida Mustafa noted in a recent column. The accused tend to be poor people who have improved their lot in life, triggering jealousies. Accusations of blasphemy are used to justify the violence. Ms Mustafa also pointed to (mis) education as a factor that makes it easy, when such an allegation is levelled, to rabble-rouse a mob into violence.
The three recent cases bear out these observations. In Gojra, evidence points to a pre-meditated plan aimed at clearing out the village from the area, while the administration turned a deaf ear to the warnings and pleas of observers. A disgruntled employee accused Najeeb Zafar of disrespecting the Quran; the unarmed police sent to protect him could only watch as the mob set upon him. Akhtari Malkani had a monetary dispute with her accuser – he disappeared without registering an FIR. She says she threw a book of accounts on the floor, not the holy Quran.
Last April, there was the horrific case of Jagdish Kumar, the young Hindu factory worker in Karachi, lynched by co-workers for alleged blasphemy. The real reason appears to have been personal enmity based on Kumar's reported association with a Muslim girl.
Such cases have been taking place since the option of life imprisonment under Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code ("Use of derogatory remarks, etc., in respect of the Holy Prophet"), the 'blasphemy law', introduced by Gen. Ziaul Haq in 1985 was amended by default in 1992 to make death the mandatory punishment for anyone convicted under this law. Certainly, the law does not provide for these extra-judicial murders. However, it is equally true no such murder took place until death was made the mandatory punishment for 295-C convictions.
People of all faiths, including Muslims (remember the Muslim religious scholar lynched in Gujranwala, 1994?), have been accused and attacked since then. Investigations into blasphemy accusations indicate pre-meditation rather than the heat of passion. Those who commit the violence may be arrested but none has ever been punished. Even the Inquiry Commission Tribunal headed by Justice Tanvir A. Khan of the Lahore High Court examining the destruction of Christian homes and churches in Shantinagar, 1997, was quashed (the Punjab Chief Minister then too was Shahbaz Sharif; will he rise to the occasion this time?).
The public defamation of blasphemy victims is a key tactic preceding such attacks – posters and mosque loudspeakers are routinely used for this.
Naimat Ahmar was killed after posters cropped up warning people that a Christian teacher (Ahmar) was leading their children astray. A hand-written copy in Urdu that I saw at the time warned Muslims that Ahmar was misleading students, telling them that the Prophet (pbuh) 'stole' goats – 'bakriyaN charaya kartey thay'. Replace 'churaya' (stole) with 'charaya' (grazed) and it's apparent what Ahmar probably said.
A youngster from the militant outfit Anjuman-e-Sipah-e-Sahaba (later changed to Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan) accosted Ahmar outside the Education Department in Faisalabad and knifed him to death. Investigations revealed that the murderer's uncle wanted Ahmar's job in the Education Department. The allegation of blasphemy alone was enough to 'justify' the murder. Policemen at the lockup housing the murderer, garlanded by his ASS (sic) mentors, embraced and kissed him. The ASS was, in fact, behind just about every 'blasphemy case' during the 1990s – the SSP, now banned, is believed to be behind the Gojra carnage as well.
Blasphemy accused are attacked and murdered even in prisons and police lock-ups, sometimes by the very people who are supposed to protect them. In 2004 a police constable attacked Samuel Masih, 27, an under-trial prisoner at Kot Lakhpat jail with a brick-cutter. Samuel had been charged with spitting at the wall of a mosque (Section 295, "defiling a place of worship with the intent of insulting the religion of any class", maximum sentence up to two years). He succumbed to his injuries the following day. "I wanted to earn a place in heaven by killing him," Ali reportedly confessed.
The fanatical and misguided mindset cultivated over the past few decades will not disappear by simply repealing 295-C, although this must be done. Embarking on a sensible education policy is also a long-term step that must be taken to stop the rot. What must be an immediate priority is the strict enforcement of law and order.
Those inciting violence and murder from mosque loudspeakers and public accusations, true or false, must be held culpable, charged, tried and punished according to law. This also goes for those who desecrate a holy book or symbol of any religion. There must be accountability for those who allow these murders to take place. The political leadership is responsible for providing police with the training, means and the orders to prevent such violence. Finally, religion cannot be used or allowed to justify murder.

Good eye opener for Pakistanis, though I am not a Pakistani. Killings may be taking place for personal reasons but when they give religious colours, ignorant people get aroused. I don't know where in Islam they find these kinds of preachings. Education and proper understanding of Islam is the only way out. I fully agree with your last paragraph.


What rhymes with ampersand? Quicksand? That won't work in a blog post title.
There are some new linocut prints in my shop!
I'll start of with the gold ampersand print. I LOVE ampersands and almost bought a huge antiqued metal ampersand design. I decided against the purchase, but I've had this curvy sign on my mind ever since.

(CNN Business) —
There's more bad news for Slack: The messaging software company's stock plunged nearly 10% Tuesday after Microsoft announced that its rival Teams product has 20 million users. Slack said in September it had just 12 million customers.
Although Slack (WORK) is ubiquitous in many offices and newsrooms throughout Corporate America, the company is facing a formidable challenge from Microsoft (MSFT). That has Wall Street analysts increasingly nervous about Slack (WORK)'s future.
Slack's stock has now fallen nearly 20% from its reference price of $24 on the day of its Wall Street debut.
The stock has plummeted nearly 50% from its peak of $42, which it reached on its first day of trading in late June. (Slack listed its shares directly on the New York Stock Exchange as opposed to selling shares through a more traditional initial public offering.)
Microsoft (MSFT), which is worth more than $1 trillion compared to Slac (WORK)k's market value of $10 billion, is hoping to unseat Slac (WORK)k with its Teams collaborative workplace app. Microsoft (MSFT) is offering a free version of the tool and is also bundling Teams into its Office 365 Business Premium and Office 365 E3 cloud-based subscription offerings.
Microsoft is offering a free version of the tool and is also bundling Teams into its Office 365 Business Premium and Office 365 E3 cloud-based subscription offerings. Microsoft also has the benefit of owning video-conferencing platform Skype. Although the services aren't integrated, Teams has Skype-like features. Slack is quick to point out that it has video chat, too, though.
Teams has more users but are people actually using it?
The strategy appears to be working.
"While these users start with simple text-based chat, they quickly move on to richer forms of communication and collaboration. For instance, last month Teams customers participated in more than 27 million voice or video meetings and performed over 220 million open, edit, or download actions on files stored in Teams," said Jared Spataro, corporate vice president for Microsoft 365 in a blog post Tuesday.
But Slack has taken issue with claims that rivals are more popular than Slack's products. Microsoft, for example, may have a larger installed user base thanks to Windows and Office 365, but not every Windows user is actually embracing Teams.
"Engagement is what makes Slack work — you can't transform a workplace if people aren't actually using the product," said Brian Elliott, Slack's vice president and general manager of platform, in a blog post last month. Elliott said Slack's paid customers spend more than 9 hours per workday connected to Slack and about 90 minutes a day actively using the service.
The Microsoft threat is a big reason why Slack's stock, which debuted in late June through a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange, has plunged in the past few months. It's a classic David vs. Goliath story – except that most investors don't believe Slack has a big enough rock to slay the giant from Redmond, Washington.
Will Slack ever be profitable?
And while losses are expected to narrow, analysts are not forecasting a profit for slack next year. Or in 2021 or 2022, for that matter. Consensus estimates for 2023 are not yet available.
Although losses are expected to narrow, analysts are not forecasting a profit for Slack next year. Or in 2021 or 2022, for that matter. Consensus estimates for 2023 are not yet available.
So even though Slack's stock has plunged in the past few months, Moskowitz said that he was lowering his target price to $20 from $24 because Slack's slide "has, if anything, increased our level of concern with respect to Microsoft Teams as a competitive threat."
Why Slack chose a direct listing instead of an IPO
IP-No
He argued that the competition from Microsoft "could slow growth going forward quicker" than most analysts are expecting. He slapped a price target of just $14 a share on Slack, the lowest target of any Wall Street analyst.

Ride-sharing rivals Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT) and money-losing exercise bike company Peloton (PTON) have plunged well below their offering prices due to doubts about their ability to earn a profit any time soon. Social media site Pinterest (PINS) has also struggled as sales growth has slowed.
Slack's woes as a new public company mirror the challenges that many other so-called unicorns have faced.
Even Beyond Meat (BYND), which surged from its IPO price of $25 a share to nearly $240 in the first few months after its debut has since pulled back sharply, to $80, over concerns about growing competition from the likes of top rival Impossible Foods and big public food companies Nestle (NSRGF) and Kellogg (K).

Transfer metalizing process refers to adding a thin layer of Aluminium (with or without holographic Lacquer or the color) to a substrate namely paper, board or a film. The layer of aluminium adds a bright metallic and high gloss effect. These metalized substrates are used as base materials for packaging, labels, promotions & publications.
Direct Metalizing: The substrates are directly put into the Metallizers to transfer thin layer onto the surface, this is also called as vacuum metalizing. Uflex do not make direct metalized paper/board at the moment.
Transfer Metalizing: The aluminium layer/lacquers are first transferred to the surface of a carrier film, usually by engraved cylinders. This carrier film is then laminated to the substrates onto which the transfer is to be done. The carrier film is then removed after curing & the fine aluminium layer is transferred.
Transfer Metalized has a few advantages over direct metalized. It has greater mirror effect, especially suitable for increasing aesthetic appeal and also used for decorative purpose. Almost any surface can be metalized with this process, the applications are more versatile.
Gold: A gold effect is created by adding pigment to the release coating prior to metalizing.
Holographic: An extra glitter/brand protection/ security effect is created by pre-embossing the release coating prior to metalizing.
Matt Designs: Matt designs are available in Silver, Gold, and Holographic designs/ colours, by doing an extra matt coating to the carrier layer of transfer.
Lens Transfer: We produce beautiful lens transfer paper & boards, the lens transfer designs can be continuous running form or these can be registered as per the customer's layout of given format of label or a carton.
Bright metallic effect will offer a luxury and high quality image.
Supplied in hi gloss silver, gold and holographic patterns.

- Special comment, going forward, there will be no more trollish posts tolerated. Calling readers morons or other offensive terms will result in removal of your post.
Criticism that is concise and respectful is okay. Personal attacks and psychotic rants are not.
Wow...I can honestly say I wasn't expecting to see a fatality, especially by decapitation. Sure, we can kinda assume Ginger must've killed a few mooks with her pistol, but that's a little different in a subtle way.
I try to save the worst punishments for the worst individuals. Krassus went too far and he paid for it.
To be honest, in my opinion instant and swift death is a *very* light Punishment for holding a child hostage. Mind you, it does show that that sort of thing doesn't get taken lightly.
Well I hate to say this, but the fight seemed to end too quickly. although the decapitation was a great effect. reminds me of something you would find in the old samurai movies.
I do agree that keeping the combat to one page was the best way to do this. Being a one on one affair, especially one without dialogue, any longer and it may very well have become redundant. While I'm no historian, I do believe most sword duels to the death were generally decisive affairs once blows were struck. In real life, it only takes one decisive blow to claim victory.
The brevity of the fight also gives the impression that Kaige is a superior swordsman to Krassus, especially fueled by anger. Krassus got in over his head, and in the end, lost it entirely.
FINISH HIM! KAIGE WINS... FATALITY.

Q: List correctly the position of student marks in database I have a query that positions students according to their averages, this mysql query works well when querying positions for the whole class. But when for example I want a position for a specific student, the query ranks that student position one even when in the list the student in not position on.
Below is the query, when querying for the whole class. Here it works well.
    SELECT (@rownum := @rownum + 1) AS rank, student_id,
   student_name,term_1_avg
   FROM `students` a CROSS JOIN
   (SELECT @rownum := 0) params
   WHERE class = 2
   ORDER BY term_1_avg DESC

But when the query is like this
    SELECT (@rownum := @rownum + 1) AS rank, student_id,
     student_name,term_1_avg
   FROM `students` a CROSS JOIN
   (SELECT @rownum := 0) params
   WHERE class = 2 and student_id=2013494
   ORDER BY term_1_avg DESC

it will rank the student number 1 even if that student is not position one.
How can I alter the query such that when I query a student, it shows the position he/she is in the whole class.

A: Your ranking is done by the query, so you should keep the query as it and use it as a sub query
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT
    (@rownum := @rownum + 1) AS rank,
    student_id,
    student_name,
    term_1_avg
FROM `students` a
CROSS JOIN (SELECT @rownum := 0) params
WHERE class = 2
ORDER BY term_1_avg DESC) as sub
WHERE sub.student_id=2013494

A: Perhaps this:
Select *
from (SELECT (@rownum := @rownum + 1) AS rank, student_id,
      student_name,term_1_avg
      FROM `students` a CROSS JOIN
      (SELECT @rownum := 0) params
      WHERE class = 2
      ORDER BY term_1_avg DESC)
where student_id=2013494

Louie Ortega
Guitar & Vocals
Although best known for his unobtrusive yet fortifying guitar licks and the warm, smooth vocals behind such groups as the Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornados (Freddie Fender, Flaco Jimenez, Augie Meyers, Doug Sahm), Louie Ortega stands on his own as a singer/songwriter/guitarist.
With a career spanning more than three decades, Ortega started in 1969 as the front man Louie and the Lovers. When the group disbanded, Louie joined forces with this friend Doug Sahm for a series of recording projects and European tours. His songs, such as Little Georgie Baker and County Line were mainstays of the group's releases on Sweden's Sonnet Records. During this period, Ortega also quietly pursued a career as a solo performer and songwriter in his hometown of San Luis Obispo, CA.
From 1989 to 1996, Ortega toured extensively throughout the United States and abroad with the Texas Tornados. His performance and translation of Soy de San Luis on the group's first album helped secure the band a grammy in 1990. Their album, Four Aces, released in 1996 features two of his compositions, Amor de mi Vida and Mi Morenita.
He has performed with the newly revitalized Sir Douglas Quintet (Doug Sahm, Doug Clifford, Augie Meyers, and John Jorgenson) on Elektra Records. He has also released two solo album, You & I and In My Heart, featuring a collection of well crafted tunes which demonstrate Louie Ortega can take center stage with the best of them.
