A Short History of Nearly Everything
A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. His challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know.

A Short History of Private Life
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "write a history of the world without leaving home."

The End Is Always Near
Apocalyptic Moments, from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses
Written by: Dan Carlin
Narrated by: Dan Carlin
In The End Is Always Near, Dan Carlin looks at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will our world ever become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something out of The Twilight Zone.
almost excellent
Narrated by: William Roberts
In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.
The Lost Continent
Travels In Small Town America
Hardly anyone ever leaves Des Moines, Iowa. But Bill Bryson did, and after 10 years in England he decided to go home, to a foreign country. In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

Tiny Habits
The Small Changes That Change Everything
Written by: BJ Fogg PhD
Narrated by: BJ Fogg PhD
The world's leading expert on habit formation shows how you can have a happier, healthier life: by starting small. Myth: Change is hard. Reality: Change can be easy if you know the simple steps of behavior design. Myth: It's all about willpower. Reality: Willpower is fickle and finite, and exactly the wrong way to create habits. Myth: You have to make a plan and stick to it. Reality: You transform your life by starting small and being flexible.
The World as Stage
William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself.
A Bookshop in Berlin
The Rediscovered Memoir of One Woman's Harrowing Escape from the Nazis
Written by: Françoise Frenkel, Patrick Modiano - foreword
Narrated by: Jilly Bond
In 1921, Françoise Frenkel - a Jewish woman from Poland - fulfills a dream. She opens La Maison du Livre, Berlin's first French bookshop, attracting artists and diplomats, celebrities and poets. The shop becomes a haven for intellectual exchange as Nazi ideology begins to poison the culturally rich city. In 1935, the scene continues to darken. First come the new bureaucratic hurdles, followed by frequent police visits and book confiscations. Françoise's dream finally shatters on Kristallnacht in November 1938, as hundreds of Jewish shops and businesses are destroyed.
A Brief History of Humankind
Written by: Yuval Harari
Narrated by: Derek Perkins
In Sapiens, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical - and sometimes devastating - breakthroughs of the cognitive, agricultural, and scientific revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities.
I'll definitely listen to this again.

Written by: Jonathan Haidt
Narrated by: Ryan Vincent Anderson
The Happiness Hypothesis is about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations - to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing. Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the author of The Righteous Mind, shows how a deeper understanding of the world's philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims can enrich and even transform our lives.
A strong, practical intro to Moral Psychology
By Kindle Customer on 2018-09-13
Written by: Sam Harris
Narrated by: Sam Harris
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie.
Sam does an amazing job of explaining lies.

Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World
Written by: David Epstein
Narrated by: Will Damron
David Epstein examined the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters, and scientists. He discovered that in most fields - especially those that are complex and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They're also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can't see.

The Appalachian Trail covers 14 states, and over 2,000 miles. It stretches along the East Coast of the United States, from Maine in the north to Georgia in the south. It is famous for being the longest continuous footpath in the world. (Compare this with the Pennine Way, which is a mere 250 miles long.) It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas.

How an Ancient Flower Shaped and Poisoned Our World
Written by: John H. Halpern, David Blistein
Narrated by: Peter Ganim
Opium tells the extraordinary and at times harrowing tale of how we arrived at today's crisis, "mak[ing] timely and startling connections among painkillers, politics, finance, and society" (Laurence Bergreen). The story begins with the discovery of poppy artifacts in ancient Mesopotamia, and goes on to explore how Greek physicians and obscure chemists discovered opium's effects and refined its power, how colonial empires marketed it around the world, and eventually how international drug companies developed a range of powerful synthetic opioids that led to an addiction epidemic.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD
"Glorious. . .You will marvel at the brilliance and vast weirdness of your design." (The Washington Post)
Bill Bryson, bestselling author of A Short History of Nearly Everything, takes us on a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body. As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best, a must-listen owner's manual for everybody.
Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body - how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Bryson-esque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular. As Bill Bryson writes, "We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted." The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively listenable facts and information.
©2019 Bill Bryson (P)2019 Random House Audio
"Bill Bryson is not so much a discoverer of new lands as a charismatic cartographer of existing ones, smartly mapping points of entry into territory that might otherwise remain impenetrable to curious travelers. With light footed prose, The Body winds its way through the dense terrain of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry.... The result is an absorbing catalog of the human body in all its firmness and fatality.... The colossal roster of facts on display is dazzling.... Bryson's distinctive voice will likely delight readers eager to go sightseeing around the world they embody." (The American Scholar)
"A delightful tour guide...Bryson's stroll through human anatomy, physiology, evolution, and illness (diabetes, cancer, infections) is instructive, accessible, and entertaining." (Booklist starred review)
"[Bryson] describes the often bewildering mystery of diseases, the science of pain, and the advances made in medical treatment, all with care and concern. Bryson's tone is both informative and inviting, encouraging the reader, throughout this exemplary work, to share the sense of wonder he expresses at how the body is constituted and what it is capable of." (Publishers Weekly starred review)
"A pleasing, entertaining sojourn into the realm of what makes us tick." (Kirkus Reviews)
Bill Bryson's Appliance of Science
The Road to Little Dribbling
P. Dyson
Great stories just like Brysons other books
If you like Bryson, you'll like this.
The book seems to endlessly cover just about everything related to the human body. It is at times whimsical, other times quite gory and cringe-worthy, but in a good way. The book kept me captivated and I found so many different interesting topics that made me want to check out in more detail later.
On top of the stories within the book, I find Brysons voice very soothing.
Bryson Takes on the Human Body
An excellent study of the history of the human body broken up into thematic sections. He does an excellent job of exploring the limitations of what we know, as well as how much there is still to do in medicine (his section on how the female body has been represented in medicine is excellent). His performance is pure Bryson, and I learned so much. Highly recommended.
A LOT of information!
So much information that I was getting brain overload!! To get around it, I decided to use the book for fun facts/ trivia. That made it easier on my poor head and I'm enjoying it a lot more.
Momma bear
Should be a read for everyone who's alive. forthright and factual, but also easy to listen to.
Struggled to finish, especially last two chapters, a little too morbid. A little too close to home.
Must Read for the Sheer Fun of It
The Body, A Guide for Occupants, written and narrated by Bill Bryson. If you are a Bill Bryson reader, you know his style and quippy manner of writing. Always a joy, no matter what his subject matter. For you, Bryson fans, just stop reading now, buy the book and add a joyful undertaking to your life. You will not be disappointed; this is a full circuit informational source of data about the body, done by analyzing each system of its makeup, organ by organ, function by function, bacterium by a bacterium and done with typical Bryson élan.
For those of you who do not know Bill Bryson; its time to learn. His writing comes with energy, style, and enthusiasm, and a smack of ironic and flip intelligence. Yet, he is always easy to understand. No high flaunting words, just good British syntax. (He is an American ex-pat to Britain.) More important is the fact that when he covers a subject, he gets you all you need to know, and I do mean all the information you may need. As to the science of our bodies, he gives you in a manner that lets the layman know what a chief physician needs to know.
Two last points. If you are a person committed to exercising, dieting, or just an ordinary hypochondriac this is a sourcebook for truly understanding your ailment. Bill Bryson is a pretty good reader, as well.
I learned a lot. Detailed, but not boring. Bryson did his research, but kept it interesting.
Lindsey Cobb
Bill Bryson is the best!
Lovely informative book, narrated by the author (so it has his wry sense of humor included in speech).
Barbara Stanbro
A very interesting review. I learned a lot I didn't know. Glad he's reading his own book. I've found other narrators annoying, and his words in his own voice are preferable to this listener.
Meddlesome
Nicely detailed yet Fascinating
As a physician I am gratified to hear such a clear depiction of the history of the human body.
ScratchGolfer
Great information
This is an outstanding listen if you want information on how the body works. I don't understand how Bill Bryson is able to gather so much information for his books. Like a couple of his prior works, I will listen to this book over and over because I learn something new with each listen. I have listened to his books At Home and A Short History of Nearly Everything numerous times. I would like to thank him for writing them.
Treat your body well
"You are gone, but it was good while you lasted, isn't it?"
- Last words of the book
Buretto
Informative, but not really the best Bryson
I love Bill Bryson, but this book just doesn't have the charm or appeal of most of his other works. In my opinion, he's best in the language and travel books, where he can express his dry wit in a more personal way, speaking from experience. There is no question that he is an engaging storyteller and makes his subjects very accessible to the audience. But unlike with books by, say, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan or Sam Harris, for example, who have presented access into specific subjects of their expertise, I was never quite able to shake the idea that Bryson is merely a conduit of recently (though very thoroughly) researched information about the body. There are some clever moments, and a few intriguing stories, but the book mostly consists of lectures on anatomy, pathology, endocrinology, etc., albeit by an amiable professor.
Do no harm!
Simply fascinating and in depth look into the body. Easy to understand. This book will leave you with the impression that the well intentioned doctors have been wrong in many instances and serious missteps have been made along the way. We still know very little but are making progress.
T Shurland
Well researched, well read, deeply informative, entertaining and insightful. From a practical value standpoint this is the best piece of non fiction I have ever read (I bought the ebook also).


The Dawn spacecraft uses ion propulsion to get the additional velocity needed to reach Vesta once it leaves the Delta rocket. It also uses ion propulsion to spiral to lower altitudes on Vesta, to leave Vesta and cruise to Ceres and to spiral to a low altitude orbit at Ceres. Ion propulsion makes efficient use of the onboard fuel by accelerating it to a velocity ten times that of chemical rockets. This efficiency is measured in terms of the specific impulse of the fuel (Isp).
Dawn's engines have a specific impulse of 3100 s and a thrust of 90mN. While a chemical rocket on a spacecraft might have a thrust of up to 500 Newtons, Dawn's much smaller engine achieves an equivalent trajectory change by firing over a much longer period of time. The figure below shows the specific impulse and thrust of different thruster types.
The ion thruster is powered by large solar panels. The power ionizes the fuel (Xenon) and then accelerates it with an electric field between two grids. Electrons are injected into the beam after acceleration to maintain a neutral plasma.

A.	The information that must be included falls into two major categories. The first category is a description of the proposed facility and its environmental setting. Among other things, the information provided must include the description of potential environmental and health impacts resulting from the construction and operation of the proposed facility; measures proposed to minimize environmental impacts; reasonable alternatives to the facility; and the identification of all other state and federal permits, certifications, or other authorizations needed for construction, operation or maintenance of the proposed facility. The second category is a description of the proposed studies or program of studies designed to evaluate potential environmental and health impacts that the applicant intends to include in its application for an Article 10 certificate. The description of the studies must include the extent and quality of information needed for the application to adequately address and evaluate each potentially significant adverse environmental and health impact, including existing and new information where required, and the methodologies and procedures for obtaining the new information. The preliminary scoping statement must also include an identification of any other material issues raised by the public and affected agencies during any consultation and the response of the applicant to those issues.
A.	If the documents submitted are sufficient to comply with the requirements of the law, regulations and stipulations, the Chairperson of the Siting Board will issue a letter to the applicant advising that the documents submitted constitute a complying application. The Chairperson will also fix the date for the commencement of a public hearing and the Department of Environmental Conservation will initiate its review pursuant to federally delegated or approved environmental permitting authority or air and water permit applications. Within a reasonable time, the presiding examiner will hold a prehearing conference to expedite the orderly conduct and completion of the hearing, to specify the issues, to obtain stipulations as to matters not disputed, and to deal with other matters deemed appropriate. The presiding examiner will then issue an order identifying the issues to be addressed by the parties. Later in the proceeding there may also be a consideration of additional issues which warrant consideration in order to develop an adequate record.
A.	Provided they file with the Siting Board a notice of intent to be a party, within 45 days after the date given in the published notice as the date for the filing of the application, the following parties have a right to be a party to an Article 10 proceeding merely by giving the required notice: (a) the affected municipality; (b) any individual resident of an affected municipality; (c) any non-profit corporation or association, formed in whole or in part to promote conservation or natural beauty, to protect the environment, personal health or other biological values, to preserve historical sites, to promote consumer interests, to represent commercial and industrial groups or to promote the orderly development of any area in which the facility is to be located; and (d) any other municipality or resident of such municipality located within a five mile radius of such proposed facility (their notice of intent must include an explanation of the potential environmental effects on such municipality or person). In addition, the presiding officer may for good cause shown permit a municipality or other person to become a party and to participate in all subsequent stages of the proceeding.
A.	All municipal and local parties to the proceeding are eligible for application phase intervenor funds. The presiding examiner shall reserve at least 50% of the application phase funds for potential awards to municipalities.
A.	A written transcript record is made of the hearings and of all testimony taken and the cross-examinations thereon. In addition, the presiding examiner will provide a summary of the proceedings in a recommended decision that will be presented to the Siting Board. The parties will also present legal briefs to the Siting Board with citations to the portions of the record they deem relevant to their positions.
A.	Following any rehearing and any judicial review of the decision, the Siting Board's jurisdiction over an application shall cease, provided, however, that the permanent board shall retain jurisdiction with respect to the amendment, suspension or revocation of a certificate. The Department of Public Service or the Public Service Commission shall monitor, enforce and administer compliance with any terms and conditions set forth in the Siting Board's order granting a certificate.

Two third-year engineering students — a 21-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl — died after the scooter they were riding crashed into the rear of a UP Roadways bus that had slammed the brakes suddenly to pick up passengers on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.
GREATER NOIDA: Two third-year engineering students — a 21-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl — died after the scooter they were riding crashed into the rear of a UP Roadways bus that had slammed the brakes suddenly to pick up passengers on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.
The accident took place near Chaprauli turn in Sector 168 when Utkarsh Singh and Vaishnavi Gupta were on their way to Noida. Utkarsh, who was riding the scooter, had a helmet on, but it broke into two under the impact of the collision. The girl, Vaishnavi, did not have any protective gear. Both were declared dead on arrival at a private hospital.
Police said Utkarsh was from Allahabad while Vaishnavi was a Varanasi resident. Both had been pursuing a BTech course in electronic communication from IIMT College in Knowledge Park area.
The accident occurred around 12.15pm. The bus, which was travelling at a speed of 60-70kmph on the expressway, stopped suddenly to pick up passengers at a stop. Police said the scooter was moving at almost the same speed just metres behind the bus and Utkarsh would have had little chance to either slam the brakes or change the lane when the bus screeched to a halt. The momentum carried the scooter under the bus. The bus, bearing the registration number UP16 P-9340, has been seized, but its driver and conductor managed to escape.
"We came to know about the accident around 12.20pm. A police team was sent to the spot immediately. Both students were rushed to the nearby Jaypee Hospital in Sector 128, but were declared dead on arrival. Their parents have been informed," said Hansraj Bhadouriya, SHO of Expressway police station.
Virender Gupta, Vaishnavi's uncle and local guardian, said she had taken admission at IIMT College three years ago and stayed at the hostel. "The boy was wearing a helmet but it broke under the impact of the crash. This is sheer negligence on the part of the bus driver," said Gupta. The SHO said the bus had been seized. "We are waiting for the parents of the two students to arrive. A case will be registered if there is a complaint," he added.

The Skateboarding Community Claims Beto O'Rourke Is Not Good At Skateboarding
A new mock political ad is saying that the 2020 candidate is simply not qualified to call himself a skater.
By Dom Nero
Beto O'Rourke may be able to balance himself atop the counter of a coffee shop, but the recently-announced presidential candidate should not be allowed to call himself a skateboarder. At least, that's according to a satirical video posted yesterday on Twitter. Directed by Glenn Fellman and written by comedian (and skater), Jon Millstein, the ad says: "There's a lot of things you can call Beto O'Rourke. Congressman, Texan, charismatic political sensation. But there's one thing that we shouldn't be calling him... Beto O'Rourke is not a good skateboarder. Not even close."
The mock political attack ad condemns O'Rourke's skateboarding, as a group of frustrated skaters share their criticisms of his so-called skills on the "stuntwood." Rounding up the many cringeworthy clips of the Texas congressperson flailing around on a wobbly board, the ad proves, if nothing else, that O'Rourke is inarguably a "fakie" when it comes to shredding.
Beto O'Rourke Is Running for Hero
Millstein's ad raises an important question: Is Beto even the best skater in the primaries so far? According to the definitely-not-photoshopped stills in the video, Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard, and "Bluntside Bernie Sanders" all appear to have some sick moves that could put O'Rourke to shame. Can the candidate survive this sort of condemnation so early in his campaign?
Though the skating community seems to think he'd be better off running a PacSun, many Democrats seem to think already that O'Rourke has what it takes to run this country. Like it or not, he's quickly become a formidable figure in the race for president.
Millstein made a brief statement on Twitter following the release of the video, stating "Beto does not push mongo," and "he is not so much as a 'poser' as he is an atrocious skater." Skaters, and Americans in general, should keep up with Millstein's campaign on Twitter to stay informed when it comes time to hit the polls in 2020.
Skate or die, Beto.

2 Who can express the noble acts of the LORD, * or show forth all his praise?
3 Blessed are they that alway keep judgment, * and do righteousness.
5 That I may see the felicity of thy chosen, * and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, and give thanks with thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers; * we have done amiss, and dealt wickedly.
7 Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness in remembrance; * but were disobedient at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Nevertheless, he helped them for his Name's sake, * that he might make his power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; * so he led them through the deep, as through a wilderness.
10 And he saved them from the adversary's hand, * and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
11 As for those that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them; * there was not one of them left.
12 Then believed they his words, * and sang praise unto him.
13 But within a while they forgat his works, * and would not abide his counsel.
14 But lust came upon them in the wilderness, * and they tempted God in the desert.
15 And he gave them their desire, * and sent leanness withal into their soul.
16 They angered Moses also in the tents, * and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
17 So the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, * and covered the congregation of Abiram.
18 And the fire was kindled in their company; * the flame burnt up the ungodly.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, * and worshipped the molten image.
20 Thus they turned their glory * into the similitude of a calf that eateth hay.
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham; * and fearful things by the Red Sea.
23 So he said he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the gap, * to turn away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.
25 But murmured in their tents, * and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
27 To cast out their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves unto Baal-peor, * and ate the offerings of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their own inventions; * and the plague was great among them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed; * and so the plague ceased.
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness, * among all posterities for evermore.
33 Because they provoked his spirit, * so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
35 But were mingled among the heathen, * and learned their works.
37 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, * whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was defiled with blood.
38 Thus were they stained with their own works, * and went a whoring with their own inventions.
39 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, * insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
40 And he gave them over into the hand of the heathen; * and they that hated them were lords over them.
41 Their enemies oppressed them, * and had them in subjection.
42 Many a time did he deliver them; * but they rebelled against him with their own inventions, and were brought down in their wickedness.
43 Nevertheless, when he saw their adversity, * he heard their complaint.
44 He thought upon his covenant, and pitied them, according unto the multitude of his mercies; * yea, he made all those that led them away captive to pity them.
45 Deliver us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen; * that we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, and make our boast of thy praise.
46 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from everlasting, and world without end; * And let all the people say, Amen.

Munna Bhai 3: Ranbir Kapoor might replace Arshad Warsi as Circuit
NH Bureau Friday, 20 July 2018 11:32:07 AM 2 minutes, 0 seconds
Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in a special song Baba Bolta Hai Bas Ho Gaya
New Delhi : After giving super hit performance in the blockbuster film Sanju, Ranbir Kappor has become the talk of the town. If reports are to believe than Ranbir Kapoor might be seen as Circuit in Munna Bhai 3, replacing Arshad Warsi, a filmfare source stated. "Seeing Ranbir's performance in Sanju everyone is impressed. The makers believe Ranbir and Sanjay will share great on-screen chemistry considering their rapport with each other," a source told Filmfare. However, no official announcement has been made from the makers of the film, till then.
The icon role of Circuit portrayed by Arshad Warsi has been worth-appreciating and has drawn ever-lasting impact in the mind of viewers. Certainly, it would be a big challenge for 'Sanju' (Ranbir Kapoor) to take the position of Warsi. But, his brilliant acting skill might beat the heat to give outstanding performance as 'Circuit' too.
Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt acted together in a special song Baba Bolta Hai Bas Ho Gaya, which was part of Rajkumar Hirani-directed film Sanju. Ranbir Kapoor played the protagonist in Sanjay Dutt's biopic, which revolved around the actor's personal and professional struggles. The film had acclaimed by critics as well as the audience. Till date, Sanju has also crossed the 300 crore record breaking mark.
A video of behind-the-scenes released earlier this month, showed team effort of Sanju working thoroughly to transform Ranbir Kapoor for the look of Munna Bhai. Mr Hirani revealed how Sanjay Dutt reacted after he saw Ranbir in the Munna Bhai look for the first time: "When Ranbir became Munna Bhai for this film, I in my excitement showed it to Sanju and Sanju's immediate response was: 'I hope I'm doing Munna Bhai 3'.
Coming to the role of Circuit in the first two installments of the series- Munna Bhai M.B.B.S and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, both directed by Rajkummar Hirani, Arshad Warsi played extremely well. Both the films were highly successful at the box office on release in 2003 and 2006 respectively. Sanjay Dutt had also received a Filmfare for his role in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.
In an interview, Rajkumar Hirani had revealed how Munna Bhai 3 paved way for Sanju. "I had actually gone to meet him to discuss the next Munna Bhai movie, but after listening to his story, it fascinated me to know that someone can actually have a life like his."

FEATURED COMMUNITY PARTNER: Olympic Environmental Council
In the late 1990s, the Olympic Environmental Council fought to hold Rayonier, Inc. accountable for cleaning up the pollution left behind at their former pulp mill in Port Angeles, Washington.
Although largely unknown, Miller Peninsula State Park is considered by many to be a crown jewel of the state park system, boasting long beaches with spectacular views and almost 2,000 acres of contiguous forest dotted with many wetlands.
Some long-time Washingtonians will remember reading newspaper stories in the early 1990s about plans to sell a large portion of the property to Mitsubishi, the Japanese megacorporation. Mitsubishi wanted to develop the property into a 100-million-dollar recreational community – a resort with two major golf courses, a lodge, and residential properties. "Basically, a new city," according to Dr. Darlene Schanfald, a founding member of the Olympic Environmental Council (OEC).
Darlene Schanfald
It was thanks in part to the efforts of members of the OEC, that those plans never came to be. "It was so backroom and quiet," said Dr. Schanfald, "I happened to discover it and became a whistleblower, and from there we started to organize state-wide." Dr. Schanfald helped found the Olympic Environmental Council in 1990, around the same time as she and her team were launching their efforts to protect Miller Peninsula State Park from the planned development.
OEC is an umbrella organization that brings together smaller environmental groups from across Washington's Jefferson and Clallam counties on the Olympic Peninsula. "Many of us in the two counties had been working together on issues just as friends," said Dr. Schanfald, "and we decided we needed a formal organization." OEC was founded as a result, bringing together 35 separate organizations. One benefit that OEC provides to its members is the 501c3 status needed to apply for grants.
"We work on everything from forestry, critical area ordinances, sewage issues, aquaculture, zoning, saving wetlands, comprehensive plans to hazardous waste sites," said Dr. Schanfald. She says that not much about OEC's approach has changed in the last 30 years- except to accommodate the pandemic. Before the pandemic, they often met in a member's home, and went door to door with their messages. That's changed, but they still write letters to the editor, take out ads, challenge permits and go to court, if need be. Dr. Schanfald does say that e-mail has ended the need for cutting and pasting their messaging like they used to do.
In the late 1990s, Dr. Schanfald built a state-wide coalition to insist that Rayonier, Inc., (now Rayonier A.M. Properties LLC, which has corporate offices in Jacksonville, Florida) be held responsible for the cleanup of the toxic waste that it planned to leave behind on land and in the water of Port Angeles Harbor, the site of its pulp mill in Port Angeles, Washington. Rayonier closed the pulp mill in May of 1997. "Rayonier's friends, including civic leaders, denied the existing pollution, although Rayonier was rated as the worst polluter in Washington for three years in a row according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Toxic Disease Registry," said Dr. Schanfald. "But, ultimately we were successful." Since 2007, Rayonier has removed some of the pollution at the site. The Washington Department of Ecology's Toxic Cleanup Program staff, under the Model Toxics Control Act, is supervising the cleanup process, which is expected to take many more years.
Before Dr. Schanfald began her work as an environmental activist, she earned a Ph.D. in social-clinical psychology and helped run a sleep disorder clinic at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Now she says it feels like she works 16 hours a day, seven days a week as a volunteer with OEC and other organizations. We at the UW SRP are grateful for her efforts and happy to continue our support for OEC members through our Community Engagement Core.

Hello my lovely readers. As I say every time I do a monthly favourites post, I can't believe how quickly the past month went. Although I am excited as it means Spring is on its way! So here are the products and other bits and bobs I loved in January.
My wonderful friend Kim from The ThirtySomething Life was lovely enough to send me a package of beauty products you can't buy here in the UK. This lip definer and shaper was inside and oh my I love it! It really makes my lips stand out but still look natural and it doesn't tug my lips when I apply it.
In winter my hair needs a little more TLC so I've been using this hair treatment from Etude house. It makes my hair really soft and makes it looks so much healthier. It also means that styling my hair is a lot easier. I love the smell of this treatment, kind of like strawberries crossed with sun cream. I use it once a week after washing my hair and my hair definitely appreciates it.
Another gift from Kim was this face cleanser, it's so gentle on the skin and makes my skin feel so fresh and clean. I've definitely noticed that I've had fewer break outs since I've been using this cleanser.
While rummaging around in my makeup bag I came across this mascara tester. I brought this with a magazine (yes I bought the magazine purely for the tester) months ago and completely forgot all about it, oops! So I gave it a try and it's amazing! This mascara really elongates my lashes while giving them loads of volume too. Even though it's not waterproof I've found Roller Lash doesn't smudge or flake away. I'll definitely have to invest in the full sized one.
If you read my Netflix post you'll know I'm a huge anime fan. I can't believe it took me this long to watch this one. Edward and Alphonse are two brothers trying to regain their lost bodies. Edward lost one arm and one leg where Alphonse lost his entire body (his soul is now latched to a suit of armour) for trying to use alchemy to bring back their dead mother. There's a lot more to it than that, the show is very dark at places while at other times it's light hearted and touching. Definitely give it a watch.
Travel Man: 48 Hours In..
Richard Ayoade (or Moss if you are an IT Crowd fan) travels to cities for 48 hours with a fellow comedian each episode in order to filter out the "nonsense" and find the best parts of the city. It's very funny but also really interesting, definitely watch if, like me, you have a case of Wanderlust.
This is the diary of a teenage girl living in Stalin's Russia. It's very informative and shows how frightening a time it was to live. I won't go into too much detail as there will be a review of the book up on my blog soon (watch this space).
So those were my January Favourites, I hope you enjoyed reading about what I was loving in January. What were you enjoying in January? Have you tried any of these products?
I'm glad someone else shares my love for Roller Lash! Thanks for sharing, I love hearing other people's favourites!
It's so good! I'm pleased I discovered it. Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Check out Shikhar Dhawan's new BMW M8 Coupe that he recently bought for Rs 2.18 crore
An all-black bimmer for Dhawan
By Yash Bharati
Limited-overs opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan, who is also gearing for the upcoming second phase of the IPL 2021, has bought himself a new speedster. The Delhi Capitals explosive batsman, who lives in Delhi with his wife and son, recently made this purchase. While his garage is already a luxury car fest with Audi, Mercs and Range Rovers, the BMW coupe is a stealthy addition to the list.
Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has bought a new BMW M8 Coupe worth Rs 2.18 crore
By now, it's no secret that Indian cricketers love fast cars. A huge chunk of the players who have represented India on the international stage own superfast Porsche cars. While Virat Kohli gets his adrenaline rush from the Audi R8, MS Dhoni has a huge collection of bikes and vintage cars that can set the road on fire.
But, for opener Shikhar Dhawan, who mostly had SUVs in his garage, the BMW M8 Coupe brings a speedy edge to his collection. The car has also bagged Performance Car of the Year at the Car and Bike Awards in 2021. It was pitted against the Audi RS7 Sportback and Mercedes-AMG GT 63 four-door Coupe in the performance category.
With swept-back headlamps, the two-door model features a sculpted bonnet, wide kidney grille, and an overall aerodynamic design. The split tail lights, a dominance of carbon fibre finishing on the roof and aluminum wings make the car stand out. The black finish on Dhawan's speedster makes it a night shiner too.
The car interiors are decked with merino leather upholstered seats, ambient lighting, Harman sound system and M Sports seats. Under the hood, there is a 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbocharged motor – one of the most powerful engines from the German carmaker. The motor produces 592 bhp and 750 Nm of power figures and comes paired with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. With the M-spec xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the car clocks 100kmph in just 3.3 seconds.

Area police are consulting with particle physicists and game theorists to try to get to the bottom of a mysterious mass disappearance that took place at Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett. Last Tuesday, while a pair of celebrity siblings, camera crew in tow, were filming a reality TV show at Indian Wells, another camera crew arrived and apparently began filming the filming of the reality TV show. Soon, another camera crew arrived to film the filming of the filming of the reality TV show. A fourth camera crew then pulled up, and soon were filming the filming of the filming of the filming of the reality TV show. When a fifth camera crew showed up, and began filming the whole phenomenon of the multiple layers of filming, witnesses report that the entire entourage of camera crews, celebrities and TV directors abruptly vanished, equipment and all, leaving no trace. Police, basing their investigations on the theoretical work of Albert Einstein, believe that the high levels of abstraction achieved by the camera crews became insupportable on our plane of existence and that the missing persons may have been turned into dark matter. Stephen Hawking has been summoned.
Police have arrested three Shelter Islanders and charged them with criminal trespass and destruction of merchandise. Last Wednesday, three men, who investigators believe were accompanied by others still at large, boarded a boat under cover of darkness. The boat, owned by Shelter Island's Old Man McGumbus and docked in Coecles Harbor, was heavily laden with fresh supplies of jerky intended for distribution on the Island. Old Man McGumbus, the 104-year-old WWII veteran and dried-meat aficionado, has long held a monopoly on the supply and sale of jerky on Shelter Island—a fact that many Shelter Islanders feel has led to unfair prices. Police say the three men and their accomplices took the boxes of jerky on the boat and heaved them into the water while emitting war cries and disturbing the peace. They are urging anyone with knowledge of these events to come forward.
In late-breaking news, police stopped large numbers of people leaving The Lovin' Spoonful concert at Suffolk Theater for violating codes prohibiting "flagrant displays of mellowness." Police noted that concertgoers wore big smiles, looked "really relaxed," and were humming songs like "Do You Believe in Magic"—sure signs that mellowness had reached excessive levels. Due to the sheer numbers of suspects involved, however, police were forced to let the violators go with a warning.

Suspect in northern California shootings was farm employee

Officers arrested 66-year-old Chunli Zhao after they found him in his car in parking lot of sheriff's substation

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — An agricultural worker killed seven people in back-to-back shootings at two mushroom farms that had employed him in Northern California and the massacre is believed to be a "workplace violence incident," officials said Tuesday as the state mourned its third mass killing in eight days.

Officers arrested 66-year-old Chunli Zhao on Monday after they found him in his car in the parking lot of a sheriff's substation, San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus said.

Authorities believe Zhao acted alone when he entered a mushroom farm in Half Moon Bay, California, and opened fire, killing four and leaving another seriously wounded. He then drove to another nearby farm where he had previously worked, and killed another three people, said Eamonn Allen, a spokesman with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
No further details about Zhao's motivation or the names of the people he allegedly killed had been released as of Tuesday evening. He was booked on suspicion of seven counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, jail records showed, and was being held without bail.
At an earlier news conference, Allen declined to answer questions about whether Zhao had any previous criminal history, saying, "there were no specific indicators that would have led us to believe he was capable of something like this."
"All of the evidence we have right now points to a workplace violence incident," Allen said. The dead were five men and two women. The eighth victim, a man, remained in the hospital. Some were Asian and others were Hispanic, and some were migrant workers.
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
It would not have been Zhao's first fit of workplace rage, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. In 2013 Zhao was accused of threatening to split a coworker's head open with a knife and separately tried to suffocate the man with a pillow, the Chronicle reported, based on court documents.
The two were roommates and worked at a restaurant at the time, and the man, identified as Jingjiu Wang, filed a temporary restraining order against Zhao that was granted but is no longer in effect. Wang could not be immediately reached.
The sheriff's office identified the first shooting location as Mountain Mushroom Farm. But California Terra Garden took over the business last year, company spokesperson David Oates said. He did not know how long Zhao worked there, adding that he was one of 35 employees who had stayed on when ownership changed. Oates declined to provide details of the four slain workers.
The site of the second shooting was nearby Concord Farms. Owner Aaron Tung said in a statement that the farm was waiting for more information before it could comment. He thanked the community for its support.
Half Moon Bay is a small, laid-back, coastal and agricultural city about 30 miles (50 km) south of San Francisco. Its sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean make it a popular spot for hikers and tourists, who flock there to surf and for an annual giant pumpkin festival.

Earlier this month the area was hit by heavy rainstorms that caused flooding and damage, temporarily preventing farmworkers from earning, Half Moon Bay Vice Mayor Joaquin Jimenez said. Several farmworkers and their families lived in mobile homes at the the mushroom farm where the four died and had been relocated to hotels and offered mental health and other support after the shootings. He said the farm employs 20 to 30 Chinese and Latino workers, some of them in the country without legal permission.
"There's a lot of fear. We have to understand, a lot of our farmworker community is also undocumented, so there's also the fear of that, of their legal status. So for them to come forward to ask for help is going to be very difficult," said Jimenez, who is also the farmworker program director for the Latino advocacy group ALAS.
Thousands of farmworkers work in the broader San Mateo County, an area known for growing mostly flowers, peas, Brussels sprouts and fava beans. There are a few small mushroom growers in the area, said BJ Burns, president of the San Mateo County Farm Bureau.
California was still reeling from an attack in Monterey Park, just outside Los Angeles, that killed 11 and cast a shadow over celebrations of Lunar New Year, an important holiday for many Asian American communities. Authorities are still seeking a motive for the Saturday shooting.
"For the second time in recent days, California communities are mourning the loss of loved ones in a senseless act of gun violence," President Joe Biden said Tuesday. "Even as we await further details on these shootings, we know the scourge of gun violence across America requires stronger action."
The new year has brought six mass killings in the U.S. in fewer than three weeks, accounting for 39 deaths. Three have occurred in California since Jan. 16, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. The database tracks every mass killing — defined as four dead, not including the offender — in the U.S. since 2006.
About two hours after first receiving reports of a shooting, a sheriff's deputy spotted Zhao's car parked outside a sheriff's substation in a strip mall and arrested him.
"He did not actively surrender to us," Allen said, declining to answer a question on why Zhao had driven there.
Video showed three officers approaching a parked car with drawn weapons. Zhao got out and the officers pulled him to the ground, put him in handcuffs and led him away. A weapon was found in the vehicle, officials said. The video was captured by Kati McHugh, a Half Moon Bay resident who witnessed the arrest.
"We're still trying to understand exactly what happened and why, but it's just incredibly, incredibly tragic," said state Sen. Josh Becker, who represents the area and called it "a very close-knit" agricultural community.
It's a majority-white community. About a third of the population is Latino and about 5% Asian, according to Census data.
At an afternoon news conference, Gov. Gavin Newsom said he met with Chinese farmworkers who heard the gunshots. Speaking through a translator, they said it was hard to comprehend what was happening.
"They had never heard a sound like that," he said.
The shooting was likely to leave some in the community fearful and searching for other work, he said.
"The trauma and the damage, the devastation, is felt for generations in some cases, communities being torn asunder no one feeling safe," Newsom said.
The shootings in Half Moon Bay and Monterey Park followed the killing of a teenage mother, her baby and six others at a home in California's Central Valley on Jan. 16. Officials discussing the investigation mentioned a possible gang link to the killings.

Home > Untagged FG – Nigeria Now Africa's Largest Rice Producer.....
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Sabo Nanono has disclosed that Nigeria is now Africa's largest rice producer.....
Speaking at an event to mark the 2020 World Food Day, the Minister stated that a range of policies and initiatives to strengthen the rice and cassava value chains has been put in place.
Nanono further disclosed that they are harnessing the economic potential of both livestock and fisheries.
"Significant progress has been made to improve agricultural productivity since the inception of the present administration.
"To boost food security, Nigeria has curbed imports and has established a robust rice production programme to encourage more rice production at home.
"Efforts in this direction are starting to show results as Nigeria is now Africa's largest producer of rice. The country is also the largest producer of cassava in the world."
On diversifying the economy, the Minister said the Federal Government through the Agro Processing Productivity Enhancement and Livelihood Improvement Support project had set aside N600bn as loan support to 2.4 million farmers across the country.

Q: Trouble with loop in R I am still pretty new to programming in R, and loops always seem to trip me up. What I am trying to do is compare my capacity to demand, and take the smaller of the two values to calculate profit. In the below example in the 6th position capacity is 55,000 but demand is 56,074.44 so I can only produce my capacity.
Current code:
UnitCost <- 3.70
Capacity <- c(30000, 35000, 40000, 45000, 50000, 55000, 60000)

Profit <- c()
for (i in 1:length(Capacity)) {
  Demand <- rnorm(n = 1, mean = 50000, sd = 12000)
  Revenue[i] <- min(Demand, Capacity[i]) * UnitCost
  Profit[i] <- sum(Revenue[i])
}
demand
Profit

Output:
> Demand
[1] 56074.44
> Profit
[1] 111000.0 129500.0 148000.0 166500.0 185000.0 118181.7 207475.4

Output Needed:
> Demand
[1] 56074.44
> Profit
[1] 111000.0 129500.0 148000.0 166500.0 185000.0 203500.0 207475.4

A: The code you have provided is not complete. I have a couple of questions -

*

*Is your demand a constant? Why are you assigning a value of to it the loop?

*What is 'd' in the line where you assigning the value of Revenue?

I assume 'd' is the demand and I re-wrote your code, which seems to give the desired output.
UnitCost <- 3.70
Capacity <- c(30000, 35000, 40000, 45000, 50000, 55000, 60000)
demand <- 56074.44

Profit <- c()
Revenue <- c()

for (i in 1:length(Capacity)) {
    Revenue[i] <- min(demand, Capacity[i]) * UnitCost
    Profit[i] <- sum(Revenue[i])
}

demand
Profit

Output -
demand
[1] 56074.44
Profit
[1] 111000.0 129500.0 148000.0 166500.0 185000.0 203500.0 207475.4

A: First I would use sapply instead of the for loop, as follows:
sapply(Capacity, function(cap){
  sum(min(demand, cap) * UnitCost)
})

This would give you the following output for the demand indicated in your question:
# 111000.0 129500.0 148000.0 166500.0 185000.0 203500.0 207475.4

EDIT: To apply this to multiple-year demands, you may do the following:
num.years <- 1:5
sums <- data.frame(t(sapply(num.years, function(i){
  set.seed(i-1)
  demand <- rnorm(n = 1, mean = 50000, sd = 12000)
  sapply(Capacity, function(cap){
    sum(min(demand, cap) * UnitCost)
  })
})))
row.names(sums) <-  paste0("Year_", num.years)
colnames(sums) <-  Capacity
sums

This will give you the following output:
#          30000   35000     40000     45000     50000     55000     60000
# Year_1  111000  129500  148000.0  166500.0  185000.0  203500.0  222000.0
# Year_2  111000  129500  148000.0  166500.0  180392.6  180392.6  180392.6
# Year_3  111000  129500  148000.0  160263.8  160263.8  160263.8  160263.8
# Year_4  111000  129500  148000.0  166500.0  185000.0  203500.0  222000.0
# Year_5  111000  129500  145352.7  145352.7  145352.7  145352.7  145352.7

Hope it helps.

A: Actually you don't need for loop for *apply functions, and pmin can help you to get the desired output
Demand <- rnorm(length(Capacity),mean = 50000, sd = 12000)
Profit <- pmin(Capacity,demand) * UnitCost

such that
> Profit
[1] 111000.0 129500.0 148000.0 166500.0 185000.0 203500.0 207475.4
