Cider Corps is partnering with Myke's Pizza to serve made-to-order pizza at the Mesa cidery. Here's what else to expect from Cider Corps' expansion.
If you're already a fan of Cider Corps, picture yourself enjoying a seasonal cider with a slice of potato and bacon pizza on the patio.
That's all part of the expansion plans for the downtown Mesa cidery.
Cider Corps is adding a pizza kitchen and partnering with Myke's Pizza, a pop-up known for its made-to-order pies. Myke's will occupy part of the space next door to Cider Corps, which the cidery is taking over to make room for additional production equipment and a new bottling line.
Pairing cider with pizza
Since opening in 2017, Cider Corps has relied on rotating food trucks to feed its patrons. One of the trucks, Myke's Pizza, has quickly gained a following.
Cider Corps owners, Josh and Jason Duren, knew they eventually wanted to offer steady food services. When it was time to expand, the brothers approached Myke's Pizza owners with a proposal.

"We thought that they have such an amazing product that it's a shame people don't get to experience it more often," Josh said. "We had all the tables, the space, the drinks."
Construction has started on the 2,000-square-foot space next to the cidery. The kitchen for Myke's Pizza will occupy about a quarter of that space and feature a Renato wood-fire oven that can bake up to five pizzas at a time.
Lately, Myke's Pizza has been a more constant presence at the cidery Wednesday through Saturday evenings as co-owner Myke Olsen prepares for the opening of his first brick-and-mortar location.
Myke's Pizza is slated to open in mid-April, sharing dining space with Cider Corps. The pizza kitchen will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays. When it's not open, food trucks will be onsite.
"We've been talking with them about it for about 10 months, so I've had a lot of time to calm my fears down," Olsen said of taking the pop-up operation to the next step. "Now, I'm just really excited and glad we're going to have a permanent home."

What to expect from Myke's Pizza
Pizzas range from $10 to $14. There are plans to add salads and sides, as well as new pies, like a white pizza with butternut squash and crispy sage. The current menu features:

Margherita: Crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, aged Gouda, basil and olive oil.
White Pie: Mozzarella, garlic and aged Gouda.
Arugula: Crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, aged Gouda, arugula and olive oil.
Potato & Bacon: Josh's favorite is topped with garlic cream, mozzarella, potatoes, bacon, rosemary and aged Gouda.
Two varieties are especially popular:
Tomato Pie: Olsen's version of the marinara with crushed tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and cracked pepper.
Salami: Crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, salami, spicy honey and aged Gouda.
From amateurs to cider pros
The Duren brothers began making cider at home when Jason, a retired Marine sergeant, returned from Afghanistan in 2013, having suffered traumatic brain injuries resulting from two improvised explosive devices.
Doctors told Josh that brain exercises like puzzles would help his recovery. Josh figured creating cider recipes would be a more fun and creative puzzle.
MORE: Therapeutic hobby for Marine yields fruitful results for Cider Corps
The brothers got pretty good at their hobby, and in 2017 they opened Arizona's first fully dedicated cidery and taproom.
At any time, as many as 15 ciders are on tap plus a cider slushie that's dispensed from an old-school-style machine. Patriotic-themed flavors in the rotation include Mango Foxtrot, Private Palmer with Prickly Pear and Semper Vera. Pints range from $5-$7.

Increasing supply to meet demand
Last year, the Durens produced more than 40,000 gallons of cider.
The expansion will also make room for 10 new fermenters, allowing Cider Corps to increase production by 400 percent and meet demand from restaurants, bars and retail locations statewide.
There will be a lot more room for guests, too.
Once the patio space is added, construction is complete and Myke's Pizza is up and running, the seating capacity will increase to about 100, Josh said.

In October 1812, over 900 American troops surrendered to the British after the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Queenston Heights. Most of these P.O.W.s were exchanged immediately, but the British singled out 23 specific men among them and refused to return them, claiming they were actually British citizens. Against the vociferous protests of the American government, the British shipped the "Queenston 23" to England, intending that they would be tried for treason and, if found guilty, executed. In response, President Madison ordered 23 British P.O.W.s to be held as hostages to answer for anything that happened to the Queenston 23. As the situation escalated, ultimately hundreds of men, Americans and Britons, on both sides of the Atlantic were taken hostage, some remaining in captivity for nearly the entirety of the war. But why were these particular prisoners so important? It has to do with the different views that Britain and America had about what it meant to be a citizen—and ultimately, the meaning of the entire war itself.
In this episode, Dr. Sean Munger takes you deep into a little-known episode of the War of 1812, but one that has profound implications for understanding the war as a whole. In the course of this episode you'll learn exactly how sore the British were over losing the American Revolution, why it was particularly dangerous to one's liberty to speak with an Irish accent, how young war hero Winfield Scott's attendance at a White House reception proved especially fateful, and why the last battle of the War of 1812 was fought not on the battlefield, but in a British courtroom a decade later. This is a highly unusual look at America's second war for independence, and highlights how ultimately the early struggles between the United States and Britain were really about identity: who "counted" as a citizen, and why that question was of such vital importance.
(Above) Winfield Scott, as he appeared during the War of 1812. He was considerably more handsome at that time than he would become when he ran for President in 1852, or at the beginning of the Civil War, by which time he was America's most beloved soldier.
(Above) Mentioned in the episode, here is a video clip of the triumphant return of former American hostages held in Iran between November 1979 and January 1981. The return of the Queenston 23 (who were down to 20 by the time they were released) was nothing like this.
All images are believed in to be in the public domain. I am not the uploader of any of the YouTube clips embedded here.

Pakistan court orders seizure of Musharraf's property, freeze of bank account
Drew Singer
[JURIST] Pakistani Judge Shahid Raffique on Saturday ordered that the property of former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] be seized and his bank account frozen in connection with his alleged involvement in the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto [BBC obituary; JURIST news archive]. The judge ordered the nation's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) [official website] to conduct the seizure because Musharraf had failed to respond to multiple subpoenas [Al Jazeera report].
Musharraf was arrested in February [JURIST report] because he had not cooperated during the investigation of Bhutto's death, and investigators alleged that Musharraf did not provide adequate security [DAWN report] for Bhutto when she was assassinated during a campaign rally in Pakistan in 2007. According to an interim criminal charge sheet [JURIST report] by the FIA, Musharraf appointed and allegedly gave orders to the police officers accused of failing to protect Bhutto on the day she was assassinated. Specifically, the prosecution document alleges that Musharraf ordered the officers to remove a security detail for Bhutto prior to her departure and that he later ordered the same officers to hose down the scene of the assassination.

Aizawl: In the 12 Lok Sabha elections held since 1972 in Mizoram, a candidate from a non-ruling party has won the state's lone parliamentary seat only twice, in 1980 and 1998. Will 2019 polls be the third time?
The main fight in Mizoram is between young Independent contestant Lalnghinglova Hmar — a 42-year-old journalist and editor fondly called Tetea, who has the support of the Congress and Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) — and C Lalrosanga, a candidate of the ruling Mizo national Front (MNF), who is a retired director general of Doordarshan.
Young voters are expected to play a key role in this election in Mizoram. The Young Voters' Club, in association with the Chief Electoral Officer, organised a massive campaign on 29 March in the state with the theme "Your vote, your voice" to create awareness about the election among the youth and first-time voters. They are expected to turn out in high numbers for the polls.
Hmar is expected to get a significant chunk of the votes from this segment, being one of Mizoram's best-known journalists and the joint editor of the largest circulated local paper, Vanglaini. A winner of many journalism awards, Hmar is also a football enthusiast. He is an executive member of the All India Football Federation and has put in considerable efforts to promote the game in Mizoram and at the national level — all of which enhances his appeal, to first-time voters in particular.
"Previous Lok Sabha elections in Mizoram were issue-less elections," said Congress spokesperson Lallianchhunga. "But the 2019 election is going to be different, with the citizenship bill, Hindutva, secularism, cow-related violence, failure of the BJP's electoral promises, and so on. Mizo Christians are going to make the BJP pay for the problems they have faced since the party came to power in 2014."
ZPM spokesperson and leader of the Zoram Exodus Movement Sapdanga said: "There has been a sudden political upheaval in India Looking at Lalnghinglova Hmar's achievements in the world of football, I am sure he will take the youths of Mizoram to greater heights."
Hmar, an honorary secretary of Mizoram Football Association, has strong views against the BJP's proposed Uniform Civil Code. The 42-year-old history graduate believes that the move will pose a grave danger to minorities in the state, and that the BJP poses a threat to Mizo customs and traditions.
What made you want to be a candidate for the Lok Sabha election?
The main reason is the citizenship bill. BJP chief Amit Shah had said on 17 February that it is the BJP's priority to pass the bill. As I am strongly against it, I decided to contest the election.
I am also at the prime of my life and want to contribute to my state and its people however I can. I am also immensely interested in sports, and if I can win this election, it will give me a stronger platform to promote the youth of Mizoram in various sports.
You often talk about the Uniform Civil Code. What is it about?
During the 1998 election, the BJP manifesto talked about the Uniform Civil Code. If it is implemented, Mizo customs and traditional laws will be removed. This poses a grave danger to minorities.
If you become an MP, what will you do about the Assam-Mizoram border dispute?
I feel that negotiation at the state government level is the only way to settle the dispute, not through violence, as was witnessed last year.
What are your plans to promote sports?
Even without money and very few opportunities, Mizoram is able to attain a good position in sports. As an MP, I'll be able to work better for the people of Mizoram not only in sports but in other areas, as well.
Do you think MNF candidate C Lalrosanga will be a tough opponent?
I do not think that this is a competition between two individuals. Voters know what my principles are and that I stand against the BJP. So I do not have any fear of losing.
C Lalrosanga, a 62-year-old married man with five children and 11 grandchildren, has a bachelors degree in history and completed a course in management from the Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad. He also completed a radio management course from Deutsche Welle Cologne, Germany.
The MNF candidate is also an active member of the Presbyterian Church and is currently the chairman of Wake Up Mizoram, a parachurch organisation. Lalrosanga believes he can improve the state of politics in Mizoram through gospel preaching.
When asked why MNF chose a non-politician to be its candidate, Liansuama, a member of the party's nomination committee, said: "I personally feel C Lalrosanga is among the best candidates the state has. He can win neutral votes."
What made you decide to contest this election?
MNF's motto is, "Pathian leh kan ram tan", which means "for god and our nation". I support this motto and want to work for god and for the people and State of Mizoram. I believe this is my calling.
Moreover, I am against the citizenship bill, and if elected, will fight it tooth and nail. The MNF government is also against it.
What are your plans as an MP?
- Road connectivity: The national highway, border areas and interior roads need development.
- Railway connectivity: Mizoram has railway connectivity till Bairabi, which will shortly be extended till Sairang. I want to push this project even further. At the same time, I am concerned about maintaining a strict inner line work permit for non-Mizo workers. If inner line permit is not properly regulated, the Mizo population can be assimilated easily.
- Airway connectivity: Currently, only Air India flies to Mizoram. Airport management and maintenance is also in bad shape, and the runway is not in the best condition for bigger airplanes either. If elected, I will push for more private airlines to fly to Mizoram.
- Mobile and internet connections in the interior and border areas of Mizoram are very poor. I will persuade service providers to bring better service to the state.
What is your opinion on the Assam-Mizoram border dispute?
It is not going to be an easy task to settle this. But if elected, I can use my influence by working towards strengthening the Mizoram government and in negotiating with the Assam government.
Do you consider Hmar a tough opponent?
I don't think Tetea being younger makes him any fitter to contest the polls as I have more experience than any of my opponents. I am well versed with the parliamentary system of governance.
This upcoming election is likely to be one of the most exciting Lok Sabha elections that Mizoram has witnessed. Most believe that whoever wins these polls will have more of an impact on Mizoram as an MP than his or her predecessors.
Young social activist James Lalramdinmawia said all the candidates in the fray this time have immense achievements in their respective fields and are good enough to earn the respect of other MPs .
"Whoever is elected as an MP, I want that person to represent the State of Mizoram to their full capability," he said. "Our MP should concentrate more on nationalism rather than regionalism."

Seeking to avoid 'full lockdown,' cells monitor ribosome collisions
Cells activate individual quality control responses if they can
By Talia Ogliore December 17, 2020
(Image: Shutterstock)
Ribosomes are the machines in the cell that use instructions from mRNA to synthesize functional proteins. There are hundreds of thousands of ribosomes in each cell, and they mostly process their instructions faithfully. But sometimes ribosomes get stuck or stall on roadblocks along defective mRNA molecules.
Zaher
New research from Washington University in St. Louis shows that cells monitor for ribosome collisions to determine the severity of the problem and how best to respond when things start to go awry.
The research from the laboratory of Hani Zaher, associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, was published in the journal Molecular Cell.
"The cell has two methods of stress response that are triggered by this very same signal of ribosomes running into each other," Zaher said. "However, the quality control mechanism of ribosome rescue and mRNA degradation responds more swiftly — to resolve the problems and to prevent premature activation of the integrated stress response.
"Only after cells have exhausted the capacity of the quality control system do they move to shut down the entire translation system by activating the stress response," Zaher said.
Leo Yan, a graduate student in biology and the first author of the study, used an analogy relevant to human experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Integrated stress response is like a city going through full lockdown," Yan said. "If you only have 10 cases, you don't want to come out and tell the city, 'Let's just hunker down and not do anything,' or shut down all the productivity. You want the city to have a system to evaluate the severity of the stress — and to deal with it according to its severity.
"The value of our paper is in describing the dynamic within the system that the cell can use to evaluate the level of stress — from local, individual events, to events that require shutdown of the entire translation machinery," he said.
Yan and Zaher discovered that cells are using ribosomes like sensors to alert them about changes in their environment.
The scientists used drugs and genetic manipulations to alter ribosome speed and density, providing compelling evidence that both major kinds of stress response are activated in response to ribosome collisions.
When ribosomes are evenly distributed, rarely running into each other, cells know that conditions are good. When some ribosomes run into each other, cells recognize that there are problems —and call on quality control factors to resolve the collisions. When many ribosomes are colliding with each other, cells go on high alert and shut things down.
"There's a communication between these two pathways," Zaher said. "And the reason for that is that, even though the integrated stress response is a pro-survival pathway, it comes at a cost of shutting the cell down. You don't want to activate it prematurely, unless you're certain that there is a problem."
The researchers made their observations using a yeast model system, but the findings are applicable to mammal cells, too, they said. In humans, dysregulation of integrated stress response signaling has been linked to diseases including diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Pandas 1.0 is here with massive changes
Post author:Amna
Post category:Blog / Technology News
Pandas is the data analysis library for Python. The library was built specifically to help developers when working with data in structured formats like matrices, tables and time series data.
Pandas 1.0 has been released to remove the not-so-efficient working functionality from the previous version.
The brains behind Pandas 1.0 have introduced a number of significant changes in the library. Here we have listed some of the most important ones:
Requires Python 3.6.1 or higher
While earlier Pandas lent support to all versions of Python, with Pandas 1.0 – things have changed drastically. Pandas 1.0 only supports Python 3.6.1 for now. A new support policy has also been rolled out that states the library will support the higher versions of Python to.
The future versions of Pandas like 2.0, 3.0 will also have support for Python's newer versions. While the minor releases will only show disappointment for features but not remove them, the major release will entirely remove them.
New NA Value
The previous versions of Pandas made use of different types to show missing data, which was dependent on the type of the container they were in. For instance, one for objects, another for datetime types etc.
But with Pandas 1.0, all of these types are being amalgamated into one missing-data type. This type is referred as NA in the documentation of Pandas 1.0. For now, only a few object types can support NA as it is still in experimentation phase.
"Pandas is a NumFOCUS sponsored project. This will help ensure the success of development of pandas as a world-class open-source project, and makes it possible to donate to the project."
– Pandas
Deplored Features
The documentation of Pandas explores in detail all of the features that will be deplored in Pandas 1.0. None of the features will be removed though. A few of the features have either been reorganized or renames, for instance the testing module. Some changes include modifying the usage of certain function parameters. In other cases, like Index.item () and Series.item(), the features have not been depreciated.
Creators of Pandas advise developers who are using earlier versions of Pandas (0.25 or earlier) to first migrate to 0.25 version so that their code behaves like its is expected. Once that is ensured, Pandas creators recommend you to migrate to Pandas 1.0.
Some of the features that have been wiped off from Pandas 1.0 are:
Old features that were previously deprecated
Matplotlib unit registration
SparseSeries and SparseDataFrame
API Incompatibilities
As massive changes have been introduced to Pandas 1.0, a few Panda's APIs have now become incompatible (backward). Most of these incompatibilities will result in warnings when you use the APIs. It is suggested that the current Pandas scripts are tested simultaneously with Pandas 1.0 counterparts to witness how it goes.
The API incompatibilities affects the behavior of a number of common elements, including:
IntegerArray
The DataFrame type
About Pandas
Pandas is an open-source, library to ease developers in working with Python when they are using data structures and data analysis tools. It was initially released in 2008 by Wes McKinney.

When thinking about the health care spectrum, it may be difficult to understand how pharmaceutical sales teams can impact patient-centricity. Typically, sales teams do not have direct interaction with patients . They can, however, achieve this goal by building lasting relationships with health care providers dealing with patients regularly; physicians, nurses, and administrative staff who are the front-line representatives. Sales teams need to listen to their customers – understand the content physicians need, the channel on which they prefer content delivery, and the frequency at which they want to be called – to achieve a patient-centric focus.
How can pharmaceutical sales teams cultivate this type of customer-centric thinking and action throughout the ranks? It starts with sales leadership fostering an empathetic environment with their own teams. Innovative sales leaders must embrace the responsibility of creating valuable relationships with every member of their team to build a culture of empathetic, patient-centric thinking.
1. Empathetic Relationship Management – To foster patient-centric thinking and behaviors throughout the team, empathetic leaders who can create a patient connection in all steps of the sales process will be critical.
2. Collaboration – Pharma sales teams that work together to pinpoint what each person on the team can do to put the patient first often hit or exceed performance goals.
3. Communication – Effective pharmaceutical sales teams regularly discuss the patient experience and how to impact it, with a focus on keeping the lines of communication open.
4. Coaching – High-performing pharma sales teams embrace an environment where giving and receiving feedback and actively soliciting input from others drives continued patient-centric thinking.
With these four key behaviors, not only will pharmaceutical sales teams improve their customer service record, they will also experience higher employee engagement with increased loyalty and retention. They are likely to spend less time having to replace team members. A more engaged sales organization results in higher productivity and ultimately, increased revenues, all while creating a better experience for the customer and patient.
For pharmaceutical sales teams, the future is about making a better connection to the patient. Creating a patient-centric culture requires putting every member of the sales team in the shoes of the health care providers, relating to their experience with patients and empathizing with how they may be feeling. It also requires sales teams to understand the patient journey.
Pharmaceutical sales managers need to connect with their sales teams, help the teams connect with physicians and staff, and then help them connect with the patients. Pharmaceutical organizations that recognize the importance of developing empathetic sales leaders may gain a competitive advantage and exceed even their own expectations.

O say that the Gypsy people have been ignored by historians, politicians and the media would be something of an understatement. The Gypsies – or Roma, as they are more properly known – are to be found in almost every European country, and in a good many other places too, including the U.S. Numbering at least eight million in Europe alone, they now constitute the continent's largest minority without a state of its own. And today they are arguably the most consistently persecuted minority as well, enduring everything from segregated schools and ghetto compounds in the Czech Republic to pogroms in Kosovo. Yet the international community has, for the most part, turned a blind eye to their plight.
Why should this be so? Well, when outright racism is not a cause, unthinking hostility and astonishing ignorance often are. Many people still think of "Gypsies" in crude stereotypes – as thieving vagrants, fortune-tellers or, at best, picturesque figures out of Bizet's "Carmen." They are, in fact, a distinct people who have preserved their own language and culture since migrating to Europe from India in the 10th century. Even so – to take but one example – the Times Atlas of World History in the early 1990s contained no entry for Roma (or Gypsies) in the section charting the movement of peoples.
Inevitably, Mr. Lewy takes us back before the Nazi era, since official modern prejudice against the Roma originates in the 19th century. In 1885, Bavaria issued measures aimed at controlling Gypsies and gathering information about them. In 1899, a Central Office for Gypsy Affairs was established by the Munich police; from 1911 it began fingerprinting any Gypsies it could lay its hands on. Other states supplied names and photos, and by 1925 this data bank included more than 14,000 names from all over Germany.
In the 1920s, states and municipalities throughout Germany approved measures for combating "Gypsies, Travelers and the Work-Shy." In 1929, the city council of Frankfurt was the first to set up what was officially called a "concentration camp for Gypsies." Yet this did not resemble the deadly concentration camps of later years. Though fenced in, camp inhabitants could enter and leave at will, and there was no permanent guard.
When Hitler assumed power in 1933, Germany's Roma constituted a small minority of about 26,000. They were of no particular interest to the Nazi leadership, whose racial policies were directed almost exclusively against the Jews. "Mein Kampf," for example, does not mention the Gypsies, and in his 12 years as Fuhrer, Hitler mentioned them only twice, in brief remarks on their military service.
Yet, as Mr. Lewy explains, this indifference changed, largely as a result of pressure from below. Local communities that regarded Gypsies as asocial and criminal felt there was little place for them in a new social structure that placed excessive emphasis on law and order. By 1938, measures of control and harassment against Roma began to assume an explicitly racial nature. Decrees "for combating the Gypsy plague" made mention of their alleged racial inferiority.
From 1943, persecution turned into partial genocide, and a special "Gypsy camp" was established at Auschwitz, in which 20,000 Roma would die. Yet, as Mr. Lewy shows, Nazi policies toward the Gypsies remained inconsistent. Some types were targeted for extinction; others (though often treated very badly) were spared death. For this reason Mr. Lewy, like most historians before him, makes a distinction between the murder of Roma and the Nazi campaign to kill every single Jew.
Estimates by reliable historians of European Gypsies killed in World War II range from 90,000 to 196,000, out of a prewar population of several million. Although Mr. Lewy never gives a figure himself, he is dismissive of a new generation of Roma activists who, desperate to draw attention to the dire situation of their people today, vastly exaggerate the number of Roma victims of the Nazis.
Even so, the actual numbers were bad enough. It is worth noting that the Roma were the only other group subjected to anything approaching full-scale genocide, and some Roma – notably the children on whom Mengele "experimented" – were subjected to horrific treatment.
Given the discrepancy in the scale of genocide, Radu Ioanid's "The Holocaust in Romania" naturally concentrates on the fate of the Jews. Relying on hitherto inaccessible archives, Mr. Ioanid recounts in chilling detail the savage persecution of the Jews under the Nazi-allied regime of the heinous dictator Ion Antonescu. At least 250,000 died.
The book's account of the Roma outlines how almost 25,000 Romanian Gypsies – approximately 2.5% of the country's Gypsy population – were deported to Transnistria (now in Ukraine). All but 1,500 of these died there with the Jews.
Mr. Ioanid's book is especially timely since, amazingly, Antonescu is undergoing a rehabilitation in Romania today: streets are being named for him, statues erected and minutes of silence observed in his memory. What this perverse homage does to the memory of his victims is almost beyond reckoning.

Assam CM to expand cabinet
Chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal is all set to expand the 11-member ministry of two years in alliance with Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bodo People's Front (BPF) on Thursday. He is also likely to reshuffle the portfolios of the existing ministers to accommodate the new entrants.
Sonowal was given the nod to increase the size of the ministry by BJP president Amit Shah.
Sonowal is likely to reshuffle the portfolios of some of the present ministers, including that of Pramila Rani Brahma of BPF, who is currently in charge of forest and tribal welfare departments.
· India Won 8th South Asian Judo Championship
Indiawon 8th South Asian Judo Championship held in Lalitpur, Nepal.
On the concluding day of the championship, Indian women and men won team events.
Keeping the unbeaten streak, Indian women whitewashed the championship by beating host Nepal by 5-0 in the final of team events.
Indian men also won the team championship. They defeated Pakistan by 3-2 in the final.
National Panchayati Raj Day: 24 April
National Panchayati Raj Day is the national day of India celebrated by Ministry of Panchayati Raj on 24 April annually.
Then Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh inaugurated the first National Panchayati Raj Day in 2010.
Diu Smart City becomes first to run on 100% Renewable Energy during Daytime
Diu Smart City has become the first city in India, that runs on 100% renewable energy during daytime setting a new benchmark for other cities to become clean and green.
Diu had been importing 73% of its power from Gujarat until last year.
It has now adopted a two-pronged approach whereby a 9 MW solar park spread over 50 hectares rocky barren land has been developed besides installing solar panels on the roof tops on 79 government buildings thereby generating 1.3 MW annually.
To further enhance its solar capacity, Diu offers its residents a subsidy of Rs 10, 000-50,000 for installing 1-5KW roof top solar panels.
Diu is saving about 13,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year. Due to low-cost solar energy, power tariffs have been cut in residential category by 10% last year and 15% this year
India highest recipient of remittances in 2017
India retained the top position as recipient of remittances with its diaspora sending about USD 69 billion back home last year, the World Bank said.
Remittances to India picked up sharply by 9.9 per cent, reversing the previous year's dip, but were still short of USD 70.4 billion received in 2014.
India was followed by China the Philippines, Mexico, Nigeria and Egypt.
· Government to pump in Rs 5,000 crore in next two years to increase micro irrigation footprints
India has the potential to bring nearly half of its net cultivated area (140 million hectares) under micro irrigation. But so far, only 10.12 million hectares (mha) as against the estimated potential of 69.5 mha has been covered by a dedicated scheme for this purpose launched by the Centre 12 years back.
Realising that the scheme to increase the country's micro irrigation (MI) footprint to stop indiscriminate use of groundwater has not gained desired pace, the Centre had last year set a five-year target of bringing 10 mha under MI.
The government has already earmarked Rs 5,000 crore (Rs 2,000 crore during 2018-19 and Rs 3,000 crore during 2019-20) as an initial corpus for the MIF. The dedicated fund is expected to encourage public and private investments in sprinkler and drip irrigation.
Giving momentum for geo-tagging of MI assets created under the central programme on the BHUVAN App, encouraging fertigation (use of fertilisers through drip irrigation system) and additional incentivisation for promoting adoption of MI are some the key issues which will be discussed during the mega meet of farm policymakers.
· AFSPA revoked in Meghalaya, parts of Arunachal
The Centre has revoked The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) from Meghalaya since April 1.
In Arunachal Pradesh, the impact of AFSPA was reduced to eight police stations instead of 16 police stations and in Tirap, Longding and Changlang districts bordering Assam.
The Ministry has also relaxed the Protected Area Permit (PAP) for foreigners visiting Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland. The PAP will be valid for five years, but residents from Pakistan, Afghanistan and China will not be allowed to visit these areas.
The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 is effective in whole of Nagaland, Assam, Manipur (excluding seven assembly constituencies of Imphal) and parts of Arunachal Pradesh.
The AFSPA gives power to army and central forces deployed in "disturbed areas" to kill anyone acting in contravention of law, arrest and search any premises without a warrant and provide cover to forces from prosecution and legal suits without Centre's sanction.
Tripura withdrew AFSPA in 2015. Last year, the Home Ministry gave up its power and asked the Assam government to take a decision on continuing AFSPA in the State.

1940s-themed dinner dance to raise funds for Wisbech Ferry Project homeless shelter
James Podesta
Ferry Project team, Wisbech
A 1940s dinner dance will be held next month to raise funds for a Wisbech homeless shelter.
On Saturday September 19, the Luminus Ferry Project will take over the Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech to put on an evening to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Guests are invited to don 1940s inspired outfits and to bring their dancing shoes. There will be music and entertainment from the era, as well as a hog roast, bar and raffle.
Sponsored by Anglian Water, it's hoped the event will raise more than £5,000, which will be used to help fund the work of Luminus Ferry Project's Night Shelter.
Luminus Ferry Project provides up to 88 bed spaces in Wisbech and engages with nearly 400 people per year.
These include people with financial problems, people fleeing domestic violence, people recovering from a family breakdown or from drug and alcohol abuse, young people leaving the care system, those who have been sexually abused, ex-offenders and those with simply nowhere else to go.
Support for the event has already been pledged by local groups and voluntary organisations, with volunteers from the National Citizen's Service (NCS) and Luminus Ferry Project staff giving up their time to make it a success. Raffle prizes are still needed for the event and will be greatly received
Luminus Ferry project director, Keith Smith, said: "Fundraising events like this, as well as donations received by the public, local businesses and charities are important for Luminus Ferry Project, as they enable us to continue to offer the support we do to the many people who are affected by homelessness in Fenland.
"We are very grateful for the support we receive, and hope to see lots of people at this wonderful event."
Doors open at 7pm. Tickets to the event are £19.45 per person and can be bought from Octavia View, Wisbech, or by calling 01945 429300. Discounts are available for group bookings, and all proceeds will be donated to the homeless shelter.

8 things that may affect you directly from budget 2017
"Budget 2017 outlines how we can thrive in an uncertain and rapidly changing world. It is a call for us to pull together – the Government, firms, unions, community organisations and individuals, with everyone doing his part. Our bonds will help us develop greater resilience in the face of unexpected shifts and improve our ability to adapt."
Minister for Finance, Singapore
The Government's Budget statement for financial year 2017 was delivered on Monday (Feb 20) by Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat who outlined three main themes of economy, environment and society that is facing our island nation of Singapore today.
Below are six measures that are likely to affect Singaporeans directly:
Water prices are set to increase by 30 per cent in two phases starting July 1, 2017.
Prices of water need to reflect the rising costs of producing water. The Government's efforts in building more desalination and NEWater plants have also made water more costly. However, the Government will introduce measures to help lower and middle-class income households offset this increase. This is the first time in 17 years that water prices have been revised.
Taxes on diesel vehicles will also be restructured -
The Government is introducing a volume-based duty at S$0.10 per litre on automotive diesel, industry diesel and diesel components in biodiesel.
Increase in the GST Voucher - Utilities-Save (U-Save) rebate for eligible HDB households -
To offset the increase in water prices, there will be a permanent increase in the GST Voucher - Utilities-Save (U-Save) rebate for eligible HDB households. The increases will range from $40 to $120 depending on the HDB flat type. Lower-income households will also receive a one-off GST Voucher - Cash Special Payment of up to $200.
Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebate will be extended -
Eligible households will get 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebates this year.
Personal Income Tax Rebate -
To help residents with tax bills, there will be a Personal Income Tax Rebate of 20 per cent of tax payable, capped at $500, for income earned in 2016. - See more at: http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/budget-2017-5-things-may-affect-you-directly#sthash.jsX4ahPi.dpuf
If you're a student: More bursaries for post-secondary education -
Annual bursaries will rise up to $400 more for undergraduates, up to $350 for diploma students and up to $200 for students in the Institute of Technical Education (ITE).
Other than increasing bursary amounts, the income eligibility criteria will also be revised, enabling about 12,000 more Singaporean students to benefit and bringing the total number of beneficiaries to 71,000.
CPF Housing Grant increase for first-time home buyers -
Couples who are buying a resale flat for their first HDB home will receive more subsidies from the Government. First-timer couples who buy resale flats that are 4-room or smaller will get $50,000, up from the current $30,000. Those buying resale flats that are 5-room or larger will receive $40,000, also up from $30,000.
Additional Registration Fees up, if you're thinking of buying a motorcycle -
Motorcycle riders may soon need to pay higher taxes on their vehicles, following the introduction of a tiered Additional Registration Fee (ARF) system. At present, all motorcycles incur an ARF of 15 per cent of their open market value (OMV). But with the new system, the ARF for motorcycles with OMV of up to $5,000 will remain at 15 per cent, the next $5,000 will incur ARF of 50 per cent, while the remaining value over $10,000 will be subject to an ARF rate of 100 per cent. The tiered ARF will apply to motorcycles registered from the second certificate of entitlement (COE) bidding exercise in Feb 2017.
The Transport Ministry will also stop the contribution of motorcycle COE quota to the open category, as very few have been used to register motorcycles.

United States v. Tisdel
Full title:UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. MONIQUE TISDEL…
Court:UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Date published: Oct 27, 2015
629 F. App'x 719 (6th Cir. 2015)
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT
Case No. 15-3217
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. MONIQUE TISDEL, Defendant-Appellant.
COLE, Chief Judge.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR FULL-TEXT PUBLICATION
File Name: 15a0717n.06
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO OPINION BEFORE: COLE, Chief Judge; DAUGHTREY and DONALD, Circuit Judges.
COLE, Chief Judge. Monique Tisdel pleaded guilty to trafficking in heroin. She faced upwards of 24 months' imprisonment under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines ("USSG"). Instead, the district court varied downward and imposed a term of one year and one day in prison. Finding no error, we affirm.
In December 2013, federal agents investigating a drug ring picked up a series of phone calls between Tisdel and Mark A. Makupson. These calls revealed that Tisdel was acting as a courier for Makupson, dealing small amounts of heroin and providing funds for the purchase of additional heroin. A grand jury indicted Tisdel for her role, albeit minor, in this operation. She pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(C).
A probation officer prepared a Presentence Investigation Report ("PSR") for the district court. See 18 U.S.C. § 3352(a); Fed. R. Crim. P. 32. With respect to Tisdel's "offense level," the PSR began with a base level of 18 because the drug quantity at issue was between 40 and 60 grams of heroin. See USSG § 2D1.1(c)(11). After a five-level decrease, the offense level came down to 13. See USSG §§ 3B1.2(b), 3E1.1(a), (b). As for her "criminal history," the PSR placed Tisdel in category III because she had three countable "prior sentences" between March and October of 2013—for drug possession and possession of criminal tools, driving under the influence, and driving under suspension—and because she committed the instant heroin offense while under probation. See USSG § 4A1.1(c), 1.1(d), 1.2. Ultimately, the PSR calculated the guidelines range: a total offense level of 13 and a criminal history category of III, amounting to a sentence of 18 to 24 months' imprisonment. See USSG § 5A.
At the sentencing hearing, the district court agreed with the PSR's recommendation. Tisdel's counsel objected, arguing that, although "according to the system . . . she does fit within [c]ategory III," this finding would be unfair because it "overstates the seriousness of her [c]riminal [h]istory and her likelihood of recidivism." Further, as Tisdel's counsel pointed out, she "has no offenses of violence in her past" and "never served a prior sentence." Tisdel hoped for a criminal history reduction because it would allow a discretionary split-sentence of six months' imprisonment and six months' home confinement. See USSG § 5C1.1(d)(2).
The district court considered this argument, but pointed to countervailing concerns of recidivism. The court noted that Tisdel "caught a break" on her March 2013 drug possession conviction when she was granted intervention in lieu of conviction, but "less than five months later" she became involved in this case. Moreover, the district court explained that "[c]riminal [h]istories are largely related to the underlying offense. . . . [N]ot . . . to whether somebody served jail time before." The court did not find that category III over-represented Tisdel's criminal history and, instead, thought it was "in line with what the Sentencing Commission had intended."
After considering all party objections and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, the court ultimately "g[a]ve her a variance in the case" and imposed a sentence of one year and one day in federal custody.
We review sentencing decisions under an abuse-of-discretion standard. United States v. Coppenger, 775 F.3d 799, 802-03 (6th Cir. 2015). All sentences, "whether inside, just outside, or significantly outside the Guidelines range," Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 41 (2007), must be procedurally and substantively reasonable. See United States v. Kamper, 748 F.3d 728, 739 (6th Cir. 2014). Such review entails "consider[ing] not only the length of the sentence but also the factors evaluated and the procedures employed by the district court in reaching its sentencing determination." United States v. Webb, 403 F.3d 373, 383 (6th Cir. 2005). However, because "[d]istrict courts have an institutional advantage over appellate courts in making" sentencing determinations, Koon v. United States, 518 U.S. 81, 98 (1996), the mere "fact that the appellate court might reasonably have concluded that a different sentence was appropriate is insufficient to justify reversal." Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
Tisdel primarily faults the district court for denying her "request to be placed in criminal history category II," which she claims resulted in an unreasonable sentence. That argument, however, is foreclosed. Tisdel may not appeal the district court's refusal to depart downward under USSG § 4A1.3(b)(1). In any case, we find no procedural or substantive error in the district court's sentencing determination.
On appeal, a defendant may not challenge a district court's refusal to depart downward "unless the record reflects that the district court was not aware of or did not understand its discretion to make such a departure." United States v. Puckett, 422 F.3d 340, 345 (6th Cir. 2005) (quoting United States v. Stewart, 306 F.3d 295, 329 (6th Cir. 2002)). We have long held that a sentence is "not appealable on the grounds that the sentencing judge failed to depart from the Guidelines on account of certain factors which the defendant feels were not considered by the Guidelines and should reduce his sentence." United States v. Draper, 888 F.2d 1100, 1105 (6th Cir. 1989).
Tisdel has not shown that the district court misunderstood its discretion. See United States v. Santillana, 540 F.3d 428, 431 (6th Cir. 2008) (holding that the district court need not "explicitly state that it is aware of its discretion," rather, we "presume" as much "absent clear evidence to the contrary"). Here, the district court understood the advisory nature of the guidelines, as evinced by its words and actions. As the sentencing transcript reflects, the district court considered the Sentencing Commission's intent, understood the policy undergirding USSG § 4A1.3 departures, and found that Tisdel's criminal history was not over-represented. See United States v. Johnson, 553 F.3d 990, 999 (6th Cir. 2009) (declining to review the district court's refusal to grant a downward departure under USSG § 4A1.3(b)(1) where the sentencing judge merely stated "the circumstances here . . . are not so exceptional as to form the factual basis for any such departure or variance"); United States v. Moore, 225 F.3d 637, 643 (6th Cir. 2000) (noting that the district court need not engage in a "ritualistic incantation" to show that it adequately considered its discretion to depart downward on the basis of criminal history). Moreover, the court ultimately granted a variance, which further confirms that it understood the discretionary nature of the guidelines.
In reviewing Tisdel's sentence for reasonableness, we "must first ensure that the district court committed no significant procedural error." Gall, 552 U.S. at 51. Procedural reasonableness tracks what went into the punishment determination. For example, in reaching its determination, the district court must have correctly calculated the guidelines range, considered the § 3553(a) factors, adequately explained its decision after hearing out the parties' arguments, and treated the guidelines as advisory. Id.; United States v. Grossman, 513 F.3d 592, 595 (6th Cir. 2008). Where a party has failed to object to a procedural defect below, we review the claim of procedural unreasonableness for plain error. United States v. Vonner, 516 F.3d 382, 385-86 (6th Cir. 2008) (en banc).
Under any standard of review, however, the district court's methodology clears each procedural hurdle. First, the district court correctly calculated the guidelines range. Tisdel concedes this point and her counsel admitted as much at the sentencing hearing. Second, the district court considered the § 3553(a) factors, including Tisdel's beneficial "history and characteristics." For example, the court noted that "a fair number" of Tisdel's prior offenses "[did not] score because they [were] driving under suspension and other traffic violations." The court also pointed out that Tisdel was "a smaller player" in the Makupson conspiracy. Further, the court stated that Tisdel's "good work record" and "good relationship with [her] immediate family" all "work[ed] to [her] benefit." Third, the district court addressed Tisdel's argument for leniency, explaining that, on balance, the circumstances did not warrant a criminal history departure:
Well, in this case, I have set . . . the Criminal History Category at . . . III. I don't find that it overrepresents [under USSG § 4A1.3]. I think it is in line with what the Sentencing Commission had intended. . . . [But] having considered all [of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)] factors, . . . I am going to give a variance in the case.
Fourth, as demonstrated above, the court treated the guidelines as advisory.
In sum, the sentencing judge need only "set forth enough to satisfy the appellate court that he has considered the parties' arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising his own legal decisionmaking authority." Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356 (2007) (upholding sentence where "judge's statement of reasons [were] brief but legally sufficient"). The district court did just that. See, e.g., United States v. Bolds, 511 F.3d 568, 582 (6th Cir. 2007) (affirming sentence as procedurally reasonable where district court accurately calculated the sentencing range, considered the § 3553(a) factors, including the policy statements of the Sentencing Commission, as well as the defendant's arguments for a lower sentence, and explained the reasons for imposing the sentence).
"Assuming that the district court's sentencing decision [was] procedurally sound," we next "consider the substantive reasonableness of the sentence." Gall, 552 U.S. at 51. Substantive reasonableness asks whether the punishment itself was appropriate. We must "take into account the totality of the circumstances, including the extent of any variance from the Guidelines range." Id. If the sentence is within the guidelines range, we may apply a "presumption of reasonableness." Id.; Vonner, 516 F.3d at 389-90. This presumption "naturally extends to sentences below the Guidelines range." United States v. Pirosko, 787 F.3d 358, 374 (6th Cir. 2015).
Tisdel's sentence was substantively appropriate. The district court considered all arguments and presented an adequate rationale, in line with the sentencing factors and guidelines-policy. See United States v. Curry, 536 F.3d 571, 573-74 (6th Cir. 2008) (per curiam) (upholding a sentence as substantively reasonable where the district court "considered [the defendant's] sentencing range and the factors in § 3553(a) before imposing a [below-the-guidelines] sentence"). Recognizing the need for "adequate deterrence," 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2)(B), the district court explained why it imposed the one year and one day prison term. Here, the district court was concerned with Tisdel's recent drug-related conviction because she was "given a break" and went "back to criminal conduct" within months. That pattern of recidivism, the district court stated, "suggests that a longer sentence may be needed." Moreover, the court correctly identified that its determination was "in line with what the Sentencing Commission had intended." See USSG § 4A1.3 cmt. background (describing "younger defendants . . . who are more likely to have received repeated lenient treatment, yet who may actually pose a greater risk of serious recidivism than older defendants").
In any case, the district court imposed a below-the-guidelines sentence. See United States v. Greco, 734 F.3d 441, 450 (6th Cir. 2013) (stating that defendants who seek to challenge the substantive reasonableness of a below-the-guidelines sentence "bear a heavy burden"). Upon motion of the government under USSG § 5K1.1, the court allowed a downward departure in Tisdel's offense level to 12. On top of that, after discussing the § 3553(a) factors, the district court granted a sentence variance. Her sentence dropped from a potential maximum of 24 months to only one year and one day. Tisdel's variance was so low that it amounted to a bottom-of-the-guidelines sentence for the next lowest criminal history category. The court effectively gave her what she asked for. That we might have further extended the district court's leniency to a departure or a split-sentence does not justify reversal. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
Tisdel could have received upwards of 24 months in prison, but she only received one year and one day. She may not appeal the district court's refusal to depart downward. Moreover, her sentence was procedurally and substantively reasonable. For these reasons, we affirm the district court's sentencing determination.

Q: Why does Webview crash at first start? In my Android app, when I create a new emulator and try to write in webview for the first time, it's not active. I can't write in textfield and then the app crashes. If I reload the app all works OK.
Code:
String url = "http://api.vkontakte.ru/oauth/authorize?client_id=2731649&scope=wall,notify,docs&" +
            "redirect_uri=http://api.vkontakte.ru/blank.html&display=wap&response_type=token";
    WebViewClass wvClforVK = new WebViewClass();

In oncreate:
webview= (WebView) findViewById(R.id.vkWebView);
         webview.setWebViewClient(wvClforVK);

On buttonclick:
webview.loadUrl(url);
in wvClforVK
 @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
         view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }

A: You must set the content view BEFORE attempting to use any components such as your R.id.vkWebView. If you use findViewById(...) before setting content view, it will return null.
To set the content view call...
setContentView(R.layout.main);

...assuming your layout file is called main.xml but you don't put the .xml part on it when using R.layout. Usually you will set the content view as early in an activity's onCreate(...) method as possible. This is often done immediately after the call to super.onCreate(...);

A: For android 4.2.2,
Add loadUrl("about:blank") before you start loading your desired URL.
So,the final code is
WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.my_web_view);
webview.loadUrl("about:blank");
webview.loadUrl("https://google.com");

Before adding loadUrl("about:blank"), when i run my app on android 4.2.2 crash everytime my webview try to load Url.

Vlad Guerrero Out Two Months
Dave · April 17, 2009 at 5:18 pm · Filed Under Mariners
Vladimir Guerrero's MRI revealed a torn pectoral muscle, and the doctors said he'll be re-examined in a month. Which means he's out for two, probably.
I don't know how many more things have to go right for the M's before people start to realize that this division is up grabs. The Angels season has been nothing short of a train wreck, and their already weak line-up just got worse.
It's a race to 85 wins. There's no reason to think that the M's can't be right there at the wire.

Hate to root an injury onto such a good player … and probably a nice person … and a franchise ridden with tragedy …
But I for one, am DONE with the Halo's stranglehold on the AL West.

I know I shouldn't, but I can't help being excited about Vlads injury, because that means weve got a pretty good shot at the division!

I'd like to take a moment to say I actually feel pretty bad for the Angels team and its fans right now. With all the injuries and Adenhart's tragic death, this is a team that has a chance to really show their intestinal fortitude for the rest of the season. I hope they're in it till the end, and I hope they overcome all the obstacles being thrown at them. But I also hope the M's beat them to the division title.
Here's hoping Junior stays healthy for a while and we see if he's still got anything left in the tank to help us to a title run.

I cringed at the crash metaphor, myself, but obviously unintended. I like to see the competition hit some bumps, but there's real human tragedy involved, so it's hard to be too joyful about the situation.
FWIW, Amy K. Nelson's writeup about the Adenhart tragedy on the monopolistic sports infotainment channel's website is excellent.
Also, I'd rather see Saunders go down than Guerrero. I just love to watch the man play, I love his swings at garbage pitches that put the ball in the second deck in left, I love his obvious humility, his rocket arm…awesome. Here's hoping we take advantage and run out to a ten or so game lead while he's out. Go M'S!!

One of the enduring images of Vladdy I have is when he hit that rocket shot back up the middle that hit Soriano in head. As he hit it, he could immediately tell that it was going to be a problem, and yelled something to try to warn Soriano. And then he stood on first and looked sick as he saw Soriano loaded onto the stretcher.
Much like when Randy Johnson hit Tim Salmon in the face, and was the first person to him. I think it was Salmon.
These guys may be competitors, and some of them are rivals, but they are also still people, and most of them are good people… Unless they're Yankees, of course.
I really feel bad for the Angels. They are having injuries like crazy, had the horrible accident, and Vladdy getting hurt.
But the M's need to try to seize this opportunity. Because the Angel's are going to get their pitching back together soon, and they're not as bad as their record, obviously.

The Angels are two-time defending AL West champions, that hardly qualifies as a strangehold. But yes, this is the opportunity that the sportswriters all thought we had at the beginning of The Season That Must Never Be Spoken Of when two or three Angels starters were out with injuries. Now we're actually in a position to do something about it. OK, I'll start The Wave….
