Center Update: Testing Drought Tolerance
— Written By Grady Miller (4 weeks ago)
Evaluation Of Drought-Tolerant Warm-Season Turfgrass Response To Water-Saving Irrigation Scheduling Methods
PI: Chadi Sayde; Student: Ryan Ackett
With increased urban demand for irrigation water coupled with increased municipal restrictions on irrigation frequency for residential turfgrass to mitigate draught impact on available water resources, water conservation is becoming increasingly important when selecting turfgrass cultivars (Xiang et al., 2018). Limited information or guidance on irrigation scheduling for novel water-saving turfgrass cultivars exists in North Carolina. To effectively formulate the needed irrigation scheduling guidance, comparative data on consumptive water use and lawn quality response to restrictive irrigation scheduling of novel drought-tolerant turfgrass cultivars is needed (Wherley et al., 2015). The objectives of this work are 1) to establish a state-of-the-art turfgrass irrigation research site, 2) evaluate the performance of a drought-tolerant warm-season turfgrass cultivar under eight different water-saving irrigation scheduling methods, and 3) Compare various methods of assessing turf quality, including visual rating, vegetation index (NDVI) measurements, and Green normalized difference vegetation index (GNDVI) measurements.
Method/Results and Discussion
During the first phase of this project a state-of-the-art turfgrass irrigation research site has been planned at Lake Wheeler Turfgrass Field Lab. The installation of the site has been initiated in May, 2020 and expected to be completed by the end of June, 2020. The new site is being established to replace the previous site (established in 2006) that has been impacted by the expansion of Lake Wheeler Road by the City of Raleigh.
The new site consists of twenty-four 15-ft by 15-ft plots with 3-ft separation between plots. Each plot is independently irrigated by an automated sprinkler system. Prior to irrigation system installation, the area has undergone land preparation and delineation. An underground irrigation system was installed in May, 2020 to irrigate the plots. The irrigation system is plumbed into an existing line connected to a pump supplying water from a nearby pond. The headwork system includes pressure regulation, filtration, and pressure and flow measurement system with remote access and data logging capability. Each plot is irrigated by 4 quarter circle 15-ft radius pop-up spray heads located at plot corners. The pop-spray system is equipped with 30 psi in-stem pressure regulator and can deliver high water distribution uniformity. The irrigation system for each the 24 plots is independently controlled by a solenoid valve. Each plots were also equipped by a pulsed flowmeter connected to Campbell Scientific data logging system to continuously monitor and log water applied at each of the 24 plots.
All solenoids are wired to a Baseline BL-3200X irrigation controller. Additionally, a soil moisture sensor was installed at 3" depth in the middle of each plot. The soil moisture sensors were also wired to the Baseline irrigation controller. The system setup provided extended flexibility in term of allocating specific irrigation scheduling method at the level of every single test plot. The irrigation of each Plots can be managed independently or in conjunction with any other plot. The following irrigation management methods can be executed at the individual plot level: 1) weather based irrigation scheduling, 2) from soil moisture sensors feedback , and 3)user defined schedule. A remote sensing system will be installed at the site in June/July, 2020, to continuously monitor at sub-daily frequencies turfgrass quality at the level of each test plot. The remote sensing/imaging system consists of a near-infrared camera with a wide angle lens and triple bandpass (R/G/NIR) filter C-mount. Two of the imaging system will be installed on top of two 17-ft height stationary poles at the opposite sides of the site. This system is expected to generate high-resolution data to calculate vegetation indices (NDVI, GNDVI) for each test plot. The quantitative estimations of turfgrass quality will be compared to visual assessments and other ground-based measurements. The Baseline irrigation controller, the Campbell Scientific data logger, and the remote sensing system will be connected to a WiFi system that is in the process of being established at the site. The remote connectivity will allow real-time data monitoring as well as remote operation/intervention. This capability will allow the site to be integrated in distant classroom and extension activities.
Due to the impact of Covid-19 on the availability of the desired zoysiagrass cultivar, an available draught-tolerant bermudagrass cultivar will be used for this experiment. The sod will be installed during the third week of June, 2020. After turfgrass establishment the site is expected to be fully operational to conduct the irrigation scheduling trials.

The world is full of different interesting places - resorts, seas, business centers. But when we have the time and the opportunity to travel to another country, we choose for a long time where to fly. How to choose the right country for your trip? This place should combine an interesting culture, beautiful views, good prices and convenient transport interchanges. One of the best solutions in this case is a trip to Russia.
How correctly to prepare for the flight? You need to write a list of things, book a hotel and choose the date of the flight. But this is far from the most important thing, which we must take care of in advance. The main thing that should be for every experienced traveler or beginner is a Visa. Do citizens of Zambia need a Visa to Russia? Yes, like the rest of the travelers from all over the world. Visa to Russia from Zambia is the guarantee of your safe and successful journey.
Why Visa is an important document?
To obtain Russian visa in Zambia, you need to fill out a number of important papers and documents, where you will find information about your plans and contacts. In case of any questions, the embassy will be able to quickly get in touch with you, and then give you instructions on how to safely reside abroad. What exactly do you need to prepare for applying for a Visa?
Your passport. The document should contain the name, surname, place of residence and your photo should be present.
How to Get Russian Visa from Zambia?
Visa is an important document that unites all international tourists, travelers and businessmen. Many newcomers believe that the design and receipt is quite simple and fast, so they simply do not want to prepare in advance for the upcoming flight. But this is not the best solution - the earlier you start applying for different permits for the flight, the calmer you can be before traveling.
Where to apply for a Russian visa in Zambia?
There are many different companies, where you can help with obtaining and receiving a Visa and other similar documents. Some travelers submit applications for a Visa and wait for several weeks or even months, which creates a risk for their forthcoming trip. It is also possible to start the registration of the Visa through the embassy or consulate of the country you are going to fly to, but the result of the successful passage of all procedures is also not guaranteed.
We offer our customers to quickly, officially and reliably obtain the Russian visa for Zambia passport holder. Why should you contact us? Our company has been working on the market for the design of all types of documents for many years. The statistics of satisfied customers shows that contacting us for assistance in obtaining a Visa is the best choice and guarantee of your peace of mind. What are the main advantages we have?
Support. Throughout the whole process of obtaining a Visa, we maintain contact with our customers, guaranteeing them the fastest and most reliable results.
Russia is a very large state that will surprise even the most experienced travelers not only with its size, but also with opportunities for business development or a good rest. Beautiful Russian landscapes will leave each of us with unforgettable impressions and photos that they want to hang at home and show to friends. Snowy mountains, clear seas, endless forests and modern cities - this and more will be remembered by travelers who have been here. Is there something that distinguishes the Russian Federation from the rest of the major countries?
How quickly to get a Visa?
If you need to apply for Russian Business Visa from Zambia, we will also help you quickly and efficiently. All you need to do is provide us with a number of documents, which were written above. The result of our work will pleasantly surprise you - professionals with extensive experience of work responsibly carry out their tasks, after which you will receive the necessary papers and a visa and will be able to legally go on any trip.
Most novice tourists are in no hurry to receive a Visa and similar documents, because they consider that this process is simple and will not take much time. But this is not so. If you are going to travel for the first time, then you definitely do not have the necessary experience in obtaining various papers, filing applications and other important details. The collection of all documents is a much more complicated and lengthy process than the collection of suitcases.
But now you have the opportunity to entrust all this work to competent specialists with extensive experience. We will do the most difficult for you, and you just have to take a plane and go on a long-awaited journey. We wish you the most wonderful emotions!

Q: Django serialize multiple objects in one call I was wondering how I can decrease the number of calls to my database when serializing:
I have the following 2 models:
 class House(models.Model):
     name = models.CharField(max_length = 100, null = True, blank = True)
     address = models.CharField(max_length = 500, null = True, blank = True)

 class Room(models.Model):
      house = models.ForeignKey(House)
      name  = models.CharField(max_length = 100)

There is 1 house, it can have multiple Room.
I am using django-rest-framework and trying to serialize all 3 things together at the house level.
 class HouseSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer)
    rooms = serializers.SerializerMethodField('room_serializer')

    def room_serializer(self):
         rooms = Room.objects.filter(house_id = self.id) # we are in House serializer, so self is a house
         return RoomSerializer(rooms).data

    class Meta:
        model = House
        fields = ('id', 'name', 'address')

So now, for every house I want to serialize, I need to make a separate call for its Rooms.  It works, but that's an extra call.
(imagine me trying to package a lot of stuff together!)
Now, if I had 100 houses, to serialize everything, I would need to make 100 Database hits, O(n) time
I know I can decrease this to 2 hits, if I can get all the information together. O(1) time
my_houses = Houses.objects.filter(name = "mine")
my_rooms = Rooms.objects.filter(house_id__in = [house.id for house in my_houses])

My question is how can I do this? and get the serializers to be happy?
Can I somehow do a loop after doing my two calls, to "attach" a Room to a House, then serialize it?  (am I allowed to add an attribute like that?)  If I can, how do i get my serializer to read it?
Please note that I do not need django-rest-serializer to allow me to change the attributes in the Rooms, this way.  This is for GET only.

A: As it is currently writen, using a SerializerMethodField, you are making N+1 queries. I have covered this a few times on Stack Overflow for optimizing the database queries and in general, it's similar to how you would improve the performance in Django. You are dealing with a one-to-many relationship, which can be optimized the same way as many-to-many relationships with prefetch_related.
class HouseSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer)
    rooms = RoomSerializer(read_only=True, source="room_set", many=True)

    class Meta:
        model = House
        fields = ('id', 'name', 'address', )

The change I made uses nested serializers instead of manually generating the serializer within a SerializerMethodField. I had restricted it to be read_only, as you mentioned you only need it for GET requests and writable serializers have problems in Django REST Framework 2.4.
As your reverse relationship for the Room -> House relationship has not been set, it is the default room_set. You can (and should) override this by setting the related_name on the ForeignKey field, and you would need to adjust the source accordingly.
In order to prevent the N+1 query issue, you will need to override the queryset on your view. In the case of a generic view, this would be done on the queryset attribute or within the get_queryset method like queyset = House.objects.prefetch_related('room_set'). This will request all of the related rooms alongisde the request for the House object, so instead of N+1 requests you will only have two requests.

Q: Does scala have shortcuts for functional objects? I'm writing class in Scala and want to write some update methods that will return a modified version of the original object. I want the class to continue to be immutable of course.
Of course I could do it by explicitly creating a new object of the appropriate type each time, as is done in this example, however that breaks in the face of inheritance since calling the methods on an instance of the subclass would instead return an instance of the superclass.
FWIW, I come from the land of OCaml which has special syntax to support functional objects. For an example, see here
So, does Scala have an equivalent for {< x = y >} in OCaml?

A: I'm not familiar with the concept of "functional objects" in ocaml, but I think case classes may have what you need.  For a simple use case, they provide some nice syntax and convenient functions like copy:
scala> case class Foo(a: Int, b: Int)
defined class Foo

scala> val f = Foo(1, 2)
f: Foo = Foo(1,2)

scala> val g = f.copy(a = 2)
g: Foo = Foo(2,2)

However it does come with some important limitations (like lack of inheritance).  See this page for more info:  http://www.scala-lang.org/old/node/107 and this thread for why it's a bad idea to inherit from case classes: What is *so* wrong with case class inheritance?

The Kennedys' Virginia Retreat is For Sale Again (At a Major Discount)
The U.S. presidential family spent time there just days before JFK's death
By Andrea López Cruzado

Wexford, the Virginia house U.S. first lady Jacqueline Kennedy designed herself, is back on the market at a steep discount.
Built from late 1962 through the summer of 1963, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom house is for sale at $5.95 million, reduced from $7.95 million, the asking price in September of 2015; in 2013, it was on the market for $10.99 million.

Located on over 166 acres in Atoka, the estate, which has a gated private entrance and features land views, includes four parcels, a gourmet kitchen, a pool, a tennis court and a stable, according to a listing from Mary Ann McGowan of Thomas & Talbot Real Estate in Middleburg.

The one-level house, which features built-in bookcases and French doors, was described as "really a dream" by Kennedy, a place her family wished they "could live in all year long," according to a handwritten letter from the first lady. The letter was part of a collection of 400 items related to the construction and design of the property that RR Auction sold for $17,500 in February of 2015.
"This house may not be perfectly proportioned—but it has everything—all the places we need to get away from each other—so husband can have meetings…wife paint…all things so much bigger houses don't have. I think it's brilliant!" reads another letter by Kennedy.

Sadly, the Kennedys would only spend three weekends at the house, which cost a total of $127,000 to build, according to the collection auctioned. Their last visit, as recorded by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, was on Nov. 10, 1963, just a few days before JFK was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22. Kennedy reportedly sold the property a year after her husband's death.

Available at the library's website, several photos and videos give count of the family's visits to the Virginia estate as well as black-and-white photos showing construction progress in December of 1962.
A seven-minute silent video from May 25th, 1963 shows the newly complete estate painted in a light yellow both from the outside as well as its interiors, fully furnished and decorated.

Another video, dated Oct. 27, 1963, shows Jacqueline arriving that Sunday by helicopter at the house and walking with the children up the hill to the courtyard of the property, Caroline Kennedy riding Leprechaun, her pony; and JFK driving a golf cart with John F. Kennedy, Jr.
A series of photos from the Kennedys' last time together at Wexford show JFK and Jacqueline relaxing on the lawn of their new house with Clipper, the family dog, and friends, including the late Ben Bradlee, former executive editor of the Washington Post. Another image shows John F. Kennedy, Jr. playing soldier. Wearing a helmet and holding a toy sub-machine gun, he smiles for the camera. In a third photo the first lady is playing with her son and in another shot, Caroline rides Leprechaun as her dad sits on a rock wall behind. In another image, Jacqueline is seen sitting astride her horse, Rufus.

Hedge Funds Activism as Conflict of Entrepreneurship
Alessio M. Pacces
Dual-class shares
Loyalty shares
Short-termism
Hedge funds have boosted shareholder activism worldwide. In the article "Exit, Voice and Loyalty from the Perspective of Hedge Funds Activism in Corporate Governance," which was recently published in the Erasmus Law Review, I discuss the policy response to hedge funds activism. I argue that the short-termism debate cannot shed light on the desirability of hedge funds activism. Rather, hedge funds activism should be regarded as a conflict of entrepreneurship, namely a conflict about the most efficient horizon to maximize profit. The choice of this horizon, which is uncertain, belongs to the entrepreneur. An engagement by hedge funds reveals that their views about this particular point differ from that of the incumbent management. Because the efficient horizon to maximize profit varies with the individual company, and with time, companies should be enabled to choose whether to be exposed to hedge funds activism and to alter this choice during their existence. In particular, companies should be allowed to introduce dual-class shares in the midstream, subject to a majority-of-minority shareholder vote. Such transactions would only be acceptable for institutional investors in the presence of investor protection guarantees, such as for instance board representation, and sunset clauses. I argue that this solution is more efficient than general curbs on activism, including loyalty shares.
Hedge funds activism is an important feedback mechanism in corporate governance. Activist hedge funds screen the market for underperforming companies, buy a toehold in them, and seek to determine a change in the strategy, the governance, or the management of the target in order to be able to sell the toehold at a profit. Such business model, called entrepreneurial shareholder activism, has made hedge funds a prominent influencer of corporate governance nowadays. Because hedge funds purchase a relatively small stake in their targets (well below 10%), the success of hedge funds engagement depends on the voting support of other shareholders. This is a major difference from hostile takeovers. Similarly to the latter, however, hedge funds activism is regarded with suspicion on the grounds that it brings short-termism into corporate governance.
In one particular respect, empirical evidence does not support the claim that the gains from hedge funds activism are short-term. Returns from (successful) hedge funds engagements are not subsequently reversed by the stock market. However, on the assumption that stock markets are not always efficient, these findings say nothing about whether hedge funds instill short-termism into corporate governance and whether this is welfare-enhancing. There are two problems, which make this question unsuitable for empirical analysis. Firstly, data tell us nothing about the impact of unobservable activism, either because it takes place behind closed door or because managers already account for potential engagements in their choices. Secondly, the performance of engaged companies tell us nothing about how the company would have performed in the absence of engagement. These problems tend to overestimate the returns on observable activism. More important, they make it impossible to ascertain the real impact of hedge funds activism, let alone its desirability for corporate governance.
From a theoretical perspective, the impact of hedge funds activism and its efficiency for corporate governance varies with context. Many companies benefit from the correction of underperformance fostered by activist hedge funds, particularly in the presence of investor expropriation or misuse of free cash. However, for other companies, underperformance is temporary and the change of strategy promoted by hedge funds may destroy value. Not knowing the 'right term' to assess corporate performance, whether management is 'long-termist' or hedge funds are 'short-termist' is hard to say when the conflict occurs. This conflict is rather about how the company should be managed, that is, a conflict of entrepreneurship. In the presence of hedge funds engagement, institutional investors have to decide on this conflict.
In this paper, I argue that institutional investor cannot always be trusted to make the right decision. Although there are no studies on which category of investors are decisive in hedge funds campaigns, conceptually the key investors are those that vote without having the option to exit strategically, namely the index funds. Empirical evidence reveals that most index funds managers vote actively and independently. However, asset managers usually base their voting on low-cost policies that tend to enhance the returns on their portfolio as a whole. As a result, the judgment by index fund managers is trustworthy as far as standard behaviors, such as expropriation or mismanagement of free cash, is concerned. The same judgment, however, cannot be relied upon when the issue is more about the strategy that a company should pursue.
For these reasons, the policy response to hedge funds activism cannot be one-size-fits-all. Curbs on the ability of hedge funds to profit from overt or covert activism, such as tightening the ownership disclosure requirements, should be avoided. Hedge funds activism should be welcome as default. However, companies should be allowed to opt out of this default by deviating from the one-share-one-vote norm. Several companies already do this by going public with dual-class shares voting structures. Both in Europe and in the U.S., the law makes it difficult, if not impossible, to introduce such structures in the midstream. Companies have reacted to this rigidity by introducing, or lobbying legislators to introduce, loyalty shares. These are de facto dual-class shares in disguise which may even be imposed on minority shareholders. I argue that corporate law should, instead, enable managers to negotiate dual-class recapitalizations explicitly with institutional investors. This solution would provide the following advantages. First, the veto right by the institutional investors would screen for the companies for which curbing hedge funds activism can arguably increase value. Second, managers would have to commit to protecting investors against expropriation and mismanagement while the dual-class structure is in place. Third, institutional investors could only accept the restriction if it expires within a defined period, after which managerial performance will again be assessed by the market. In this way, dual-class shares would deliver one unfulfilled promise of loyalty shares, namely the temporary character of the departure from one-share-one-vote.

Finally online - our great music vids we made in Artcelsior's factory in Rio! We had a great session with the lovely guys from Sambaí who kindly played a whole load of Samba instruments for our recordings!
A short trip to Ivson's instrument manufactory in Rio leaves us with itchy feet. The brand IVSOM is internationally known, German TV shows where the instruments come from and who actually invents and builds them!
Maracatu é trovão - Maracatu is thunder! 22" alfaias at a special price - goose bumps mega bass for your Maracatu group! The massive sounds of large alfaias will make the earth tremble under your feet!
Hand-welded agogo with 4 bells by Kalango!
Tuned to pretty intervals, each one hand crafted, rustical look - unique instruments with strong sound!
Sambatrend & News from Rio for caixa players! Brandnew invention by IVSOM - a caixa with 6 strings on the batter head and 6 more on the inside of the resonance head - extra dry and massive sound for Rio style Samba!
The Carlinhos Brown Signature Line is a real masterpiece! Design timbals and bacurinhas with fantastic sound - an eyecatchers for stage gigs - Bahia Style with visual delight!
IVSOM in Coburg with Kalango !
We are absolutely thrilled to be able to introduce one of Rio's best known manufacturers of Samba Percussion instruments to the European audience of this years Coburg Samba Festival. The authentic sound and look of IVSOM instruments has been a successfully growing part of Kalango's percussion assortment in the past few years. IVSOM is an active part of Rio's Samba community, playing caixa at the famous Samba school Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel. As Sambista and craftsman IVSOM has the knowledge and feeling it takes to make first class Rio Samba percussion. He will be at the Kalango stand open for any kind of questions or input. It's his first time in Europe, please give him a warm welcome!
We have finally managed to find a workshop for beautiful looking and sounding Atabaques: Tião do Atabaque from Rio de Janeiro manufacters drums in the traditional manner with sturdy hardwood and beautiful best choice goatskin heads.
We are offering the Atabaques in the 3 traditional sizes: Lê ( 90 cm high, 9″ diameter ), Rumpi ( 100 cm high, 10″ diameter ), and Rum ( 120 cm high, 12″ diameter ). Tension hooks enable it to easily tune the drums as high as you prefer. An additional goody is the Rumpi with a tradional rope tuning system as alternative.
Every Atabaque comes with a simple round steel stand.
Enjoy playing and hearing the typical Capoeira rhythmes, the ritual Candomblé or Umbanda Toques, or the the wild grooves of the Samba de Roda with these absolutely authentic drums!
quality of the entire range of samba percussion instruments ( Surdo, Pandeiro, Timbal, Repenique, Caixa and Cuica) is a real eyecatcher!
The standards for these instruments have been set up together with top musicians, like Rumpilezz and Chiclete com Banana from Salvador/Bahia.
will surely demand an adequate price but on the other hand these instruments seem to be very promising.
In the past we have offered Artcelsior caixas and repeniques in 2 different product lines: one version with aluminium shell and chromed tension rods and rims, and as alternative all in zinced steel. Two options with very different sound characteristics ( steel shells produce a significant dry sound!) and therefore an important part of our assortement. Since instruments with a steel shell are are much heavier we offer surdos only with an aluminium body and chromed steel hardware.
Chrome plating has become so expensive in the past few years that instruments with chrome plated hardware have more or less disappeared from the brazilian market. In order to be able to offer Artcelsior instruments for reasonable prices in the future, we have decided to follow this trend and from now on can supply not only caixa and repinique with zinced hardware, but also all sizes of surdos.

VEDANTA AND PATRIOTISM
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Reddit WhatsApp Telegram
Hindu Way of life leads to Vedanta – the end of all knowledge – and the end is two-fold: Aatmano mokshaartham, jagat hitaaya cha – Salvation of the individual self and well being of the entire universe. When a purified soul goes on expanding, seeking its identity step by step with family, society, nation and the world, the soul not only attains liberation, but the world also benefits. However, this expansion of the individual soul should not be mistaken for the universalism preached by cunning politicians and the so-called humanists. If you examine minutely the personal life of most of these people, you can find that they have never hesitated to give up their dharma to their family and society for the sake of name and personal gains, to ditch the nation to gain international popularity and fame and have sacrificed their very souls for the sake of worldly recognition and material welfare. Instead of expanding, they really shrink into self-centred, egoistic beings donning the cloak of universalists and humanists.
Hindutwa or Hinduism which has its origin in the Vedas which spread all over the world about eight thousand years ago is the one and only source of all religions of the world. Zorastrianism, Shamonism from which Buddhism and Jainism have emerged, and Judaism from which Christianity and Islam have arisen, are all offshoots of the ancient Vedic culture which spread to different lands. That is why Swami Vivekananda eulogized in his speech in the Chicago Parliament of Religions, Hinduism as the mother of all religions. He quoted our scriptures to point out that all religions, like various rivers, ultimately merge in the ocean of divine consciousness. However, Swami Vivekananda never failed to point out that Christianity and Islam have never remained within the confines of a religion and, as political movements to conquer the world and bring the entire humanity under their heels, have perpetrated inhuman Crusades, Inquisitions and Jihads and have destroyed races and nations in various parts of the world. Nowhere in the history of the world one can point out that Hinduism and its offshoots like Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism have spread at the point of sword, and nowhere in the history of the world one can point out any place where Christianity or Islam has spread without bloodshed, destruction of the local population, their culture, way of life, and their political independence. To establish the truth of this statement, one has only to go through the histories of the world written by all Christian and Muslim historians of the world.
When Pope Paul came to India and declared that he will bring down the Kingdom of Christ here, he did not mean that the message of love, compassion and peace preached by Jesus will reign in every hearth and home, but only made it clear that the rule of the Roman Catholic Church through the Bishops, Archbishops and the army of the Catholic priests and nuns would be established all over the land. He had also made it very clear that Roman Catholic Church will not recognize any other religion, including that of the Protestants, as valid religion conferring salvation. That means, when the Kingdom of God is established by the Roman Catholic Church, all men will be subjects of the Roman Catholic Empire, and in this empire, there will not be any place for any other religion. History stands witness to the fact that Church has always been the sword arm of the European Colonialists and vice versa.
As far as Islam is concerned, it has never been a religion. Prophet Mohammed, who started his career as a business manager of a rich lady who was much older than him and whom he made his mistress later, declared Jihad not to propagate the message of human brotherhood, unity of Godhead and universal and impersonal nature of God, but to establish the suzerainty of his Quresh tribe over all other Arab races whom he systematically annihilated and then flexed his muscles against Jews and Christians. Following his footsteps, Islam has always been after the blood, women and wealth of the Kafirs or the non-believers in the Prophet. The crude, barbarian and inhuman Islamic law prevalent in the Islamic countries even today has no parallels even in the brutish primitive life of the ancient cannibals.
Can Hinduism co-exist with such barbaric tribal religions? Will these religions ever allow Hinduism, the way of life which is universal and man-making, to survive even in its very homeland, Bharatavarsha? A 'Mahatma' could sit in a Hindu Birla Mandir and sing 'Iswar Allah tere naam' or 'Yesu pitaa prabhu tuu', but he would have been shoed out if he had tried to go and sit in a Jumma Masjid or in a Goa Church and sing these songs. Even today, we have many Swamis and spiritual leaders in the Hindu society who equate Hinduism with Christianity and Islam, but no Mulla or Bishop has ever recognized Hinduism as equal to Islam or Christianity respectively. Agents of Christian and Islamic organizations have infiltrated into many Hindu spiritual organizations to destroy them from within and make them claim to be universal and therefore non-Hindu forgetting the fact that no non-Hindu religion could ever be universal and eternal. God knows how many of the so-called God-men are in the pay rolls of underworld dons like Davood and Mamon, undermining Hinduism from within! If these underworld dons can purchase leading politicians and control political parties with their money-power, how much time they will need to purchase the so called Godmen? The average Hindu today has a tendency to blindly believe anyone donning the garb of a swami or a swamini and eulogize him or her as Godman or Godwoman and 'Avatar'! There is a popular belief among the Hindus that the root of the rivers and root of the religious preceptors should never be probed and therefore, anyone in the ochre rob can pass into a swami or swamini irrespective of what his or her past life has been.
When a Christian missionary enters into a tribal home in India to convert the poor and gullible people, the first thing that he does is to remove the pictures of the Hindu gods and goddesses and the traditional lamps from the pooja room and put a cross or a Jesus' picture there. The followers of many modern Gurus do the same – removing the pictures of Gods and putting the Guru's photo there. The traditional devotional songs are replaced with praise of the Guru or they are interpolated to eulogize the Guru. While many of the so called followers of these Gurus abandon traditional rites and rituals and festivals and pilgrimage etc., in the novel and blind methods of adoration of the modern Gurus, the so called Gurus make lot of money not by promoting religion, culture and heritage and studies of Vedas and spiritual literature, but by running Engineering Colleges, Medical Colleges, Technikons and even indulging in real estate business! Though the real income of these Godmen and Godwomen is unknown even to the income-tax sleuths, the pittance that they throw out in philanthropy gets wide publicity.
There are many who claim to be Vedantins while living in the cozy comfort of palatial homes and with all luxuries and material riches in life. They can reel out pages after pages from the Upanishadic and Vedantic texts about God, World and Soul, but in their individual life, the Vedanta has no place. They are not concerned about the poverty and suffering of the downtrodden masses around them in the society, but still they will speak about the all-pervading Atman everywhere. Even when the country was under the thralldom of alien rules, we had our Vedantins amongst us who spoke of the Mukti of the soul, but never about the Mukti of the nation. And Vedantins of their ilk are still in our midst today. They have no worry about the things that are happening in the country—whether it is the large-scale conversion of their Hindu brethren by Christian Missionaries backed by the money power of the European colonialists or annihilation of the poor and hapless Hindus at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists supported by Pan-Islamic forces. Patriotism has no place in their Vedanta. "Let the country go to dogs, but we will go to Heaven through our Vedantic Sadhana"—this is their philosophy. A Hindu is a Hindu by virtue of his birth in the holy land of Bharatavarsha, his maatru bhoomi, or by being the descendent of those who have been born in this land, his pitru bhoomi, or because he has accepted the land of Bharatavarsha as his land of salvation, his dharmabhoomi, karma bhoomi and moksha bhoomi. All Gods and Goddesses like Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, Shakti, Rama and Krishna and all saints and sages from Vyasa, Vasishtha and Valmiki to the modern preceptors like Ramakrishna, Dayananda and Sivananda would never have come into existence at all but for Bharatamata. If any one who calls Himself a Hindu, a Vedantin or follower of any of the Mahatmas who has been born in this land, has in his heart no love and spirit of adoration for the holy land of Bharatavarsha, he is a hypocrite and idiot. Talk of Universalism and Internationalism by such a person is just a blabbering, self-deception or deliberate deceit. Those who adore and worship all gods, goddesses except Bharatamata are unworthy to be called Hindus.
In the modern period our country did see great Vedantins who adored and worshipped the Motherland greater than the Ultimate Reality. Rishi Bankim Chandra gave the mantra of Vande Mataram and inspired the freedom movement of Mother India. Swami Vivekananda who landed at Rameswaram after his epoch-making visit to America and Europe, took the sacred soil of Mother India and besmeared it all over his body. He wanted all vain gods and goddesses to disappear and the only God, the Motherland, to be adored. Swami Rama Tirtha identified himself with the motherland and declared, "I am India". Sri Aurobindo conceived of a Bhavani Mandir where the Mother Bharat will be the presiding deity. Subramania Sivam proclaimed a new religion of 'Sri Bharati" whose path is adoration and worship of Motherland. Mahakavi Subramania Bharati once slipped and fell on the Railway platform at Kadayam, in Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu, and when fellow travellers tried to lift him up, he asked them to keep away and joyously rolled on the ground saying that he got an opportunity to roll on the lap of his mother. "Jananee Janmabhoomischa swargaadapi gareeyasi" – "Mother and Motherland are more sacred than heaven" – declared Bhagavan Rama. Unfortunately we have in our midst the so called secular Hindus who question the necessity to build a temple for that very Rama in his sacred birth place of Ayodhya in this holy land of Bharatavarsha! Perhaps the blood that flows in their veins carries the genes of those who were stooges of the Muslim rulers or the British Imperialists in the dark days of India. May God save our sacred hand from these so called secularist politicians and the bogus Vedantins who speak about universal brotherhood and world religion without the least love and adoration for their own motherland! It is time for us to install in every Hindu home Bharatamata as the Supreme Deity and convert all other gods and goddesses to parivaara devatas or secondary deities.
Vande Mataram!

About the Sport
Emergency Products and
Equipment in the sport of golf comprises of a set of golf clubs required to strike the golf ball. Each club has a shaft with a grip and a club head. A standard set of golf club consists of 14 golf clubs. The typical composition of the standard set is Woods 3 or 4, Irons 7 or 8, Wedge 1 and Putter 1.
In the early days of the game, the shafts of the golf club heads were made of different types of wood. In the middle of 19thcentury, hickory wood was widely used as the shaft material. Later Persimmon came to be the main material. Club shafts are now made of steel, titanium or carbon fibers. The shaft is a tapered steel tube or a series of stepped tubes telescoped into each other. This construction improves the accuracy of the golfers. Leather or rubber is used for the grips of the clubs.
Wedges are irons having higher than nine iron which are usually lofted at about 42 degrees. Wedges are used for high altitude, short distance and high accuracy shots. These may arise while heating the ball into the green or the "approach shot", placing the ball on the fairway to get a good shot at the green or the "lay-up shot" or hitting the ball to get away from hazards on to the green or "chi...
Golf Clubs: Irons
Irons are golf clubs have a flat angled face and a shorter shaft compared with the wood. Irons are designed for shots towards the green or from relatively more difficult locations such as the rough over or through the trees or base of hills. There are short, medium or long irons. All these have flat heads. "Wedges" are a special type of iron, heavy and shorter than other irons with a less flat f...
Constructional Features in Golf Clubs

The weight of the shaft varies from 45 -150gm depending on the length and material used. There are a number of ways to quantify. Shaft flex is the most common of them. The shaft flex is the amount of a deflection when p...

Longtime WABC Weather Anchor Is Suddenly Gone

PREVIOUS:It's a Homecoming for KGUN-KWBA's New General Manager
By Stephanie Tsoflias Siegel on Feb. 6, 2019 - 11:01 AM Comment
It was sudden, but longtime WABC weather anchor Bill Evans is gone from the air and some social media platforms.
The New York weather personality at the New York City ABC flagship is no longer on Facebook. His bio has been removed from the station's website and his title of WABC forecaster has been removed from his Twitter bio.
Evans was off the air for a couple of weeks when viewers started questioning whether or not he would return.
While Evans has not said anything about leaving the station, he posted a photo of himself at WLNG radio on Tuesday with the caption, "For the moment, I am pursuing a unique opportunity in broadcasting by returning to my roots in radio and operating the historic WLNG radio station in Sag Harbor on Long Island."
He eluded to a return to television, but wasn't specific about an opportunity. It is unclear why he left the station after 15 years.
