GST collection of states, union territories increased to Rs 5.18 lakh crore in FY19, says Nirmala Sitharaman
Published: July 16, 20191:33 pm Updated: 1:37 pm
Sitharaman says efforts like extensive automation of business processes, application of e-way bill mechanism, and targeted action on compliance verification have improved the GST revenue collection
GST collection of states and union territories increased to Rs 5.18 lakh crore in the financial year 2018-19, a significant rise from Rs 2.91 lakh crore in 2017-18, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in Parliament on Monday. In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, the Finance Minister said the Centre government released Rs 81,177 crore compensation to the states during the fiscal year 2018-19 against Rs 48,178 crore released in FY18.
Saying the high-powered GST Council had made several efforts to improve tax compliance in the country, Sitharaman said: "The GST collection of the states/UTs has been showing steady improvement over the period of time. In addition, they have also assured the growth of 14 per cent for a period of five years through the payment of compensation by the central government."
She said efforts like extensive automation of business processes, application of e-way bill mechanism, targeted action on compliance verification, enforcement based on risk assessment and proposed introduction of electronic invoice system had improved the GST revenue collection.
The GST collection figure dipped below the Rs 1 lakh crore mark for the first time in the current fiscal in June (Rs 99,939 crore). The indirect tax revenue for March was Rs 1,06,577 crore, Rs 1,13,865 crore in April, and Rs 1,00,289 crore in May. Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled out on July 1, 2017, after subsuming 17 local taxes.
Last month, the GST Council, chaired by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, met for the first time after the Modi government returned to power. The council extended the tenure of the National Anti-Profiteering Authority by two years till November 2021 and allowed the use of Aadhaar as proof for obtaining GST registration. The matter of tax cut on electric vehicles and their chargers was also sent to the fitment committee for further consideration.

Q: Reading text file into variable, subsequent print() returns escape characters? Been searching around on this one to no avail.  I have a snippet where I want to read a text file into a variable in python so that I can refer to it later (specifically to kill a running process).
File is generated like this:
os.system('wmic process where ^(CommandLine like "pythonw%pycpoint%")get ProcessID > windowsPID.txt')
Resulting text file windowsPID.txt looks like this:
ProcessId
4076
My python snippet to read the file looks like this:
with open('windowsPID.txt') as f:
    print "In BuildLaunch, my PID is: "
    b = f.readlines()
    print b
print b outputs the following:
['\xff\xfeP\x00r\x00o\x00c\x00e\x00s\x00s\x00I\x00d\x00 \x00 \x00\r\x00\n', '\x004\x000\x007\x006\x00 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00\r\x00\n', '\x00']
I can see the 4076, but why can't I get it to output properly?  I just need that second line.
UPDATE
As mentioned by roippi, this can be fixed by forcing the file to open in unicode-16:
import codecs
    with codecs.open('windowsPID.txt', encoding='utf-16') as f:
All fixed!
-Chow

A: Python by default tries to open files using utf-8 encoding, but your file is otherwise encoded, so you get raw bytes output to your screen.
\xff\xfe is the UTF-16 (LE) byte order mark.  You need to open your file with the proper encoding.
import codecs

with codecs.open('windowsPID.txt', encoding='utf-16') as f:

Addressed to Monsieur P(ierre) Andrieu, --- Paris. The two pages are covered in Escoffier's handwriting. There is also a one page English translation of the letter. A very clean item. Enclosed in a neat marbled cardboard folder. With a label on the front cover. The letter is from the library of Pierre Orsi, the famous Lyon restuaranteur. A rare item.
- The letter is written one year before Escoffier's death. He writes in a rather shaky hand -- [Dear Sir, I am very surprised that you did not receive my letter which was in answer to yours, whereby you were asking me to write an article for the newspaper "L'action automobile". This article should have been about regional cuisine as seen from the point of view of the chef - Curnonsky treats it from the point of view of the gastronome. Between the chef and Curnonsky there is a wide gap that I do not wish to bridge. Mr Curnonsky speaks as a writer, he is charming and his articles are interesting in places but I have no desire to be the cause of any arguments. To answer your question, I could only do it after reading the article "les princes de la cuisine francaise". Despite all my desire to be agreeable to you and Mr Roussel, it will be impossible for me to do it. I must also tell you that the different regional cuisines do not exist anymore. Ever since all the "regions" have been merged by the advance of the automobile which created easier access from one country to another, we have now in France only one cuisine and that is French Cuisine. -- With deepest regret for not acceding to your wishes, Yours sincerely, A. Escoffier. -- My best wishes to Mr Roussel.] Pierre Andrieu was an author of many articles and books in the domain of wine and gastronomy. He was also a collaborator of Curnonsky's. Together they published in 1935 a book about the restaurants of France, titled 'Les Fines Gueules de France'. This letter pertains to the research for that book. Maurice Edmond Sailland (October 12, 1872, Angers, France – July 22, 1956, Paris), better known by his pen-name Curnonsky and dubbed the Prince of Gastronomy, was the most celebrated writer on gastronomy in France in the 20th century. He wrote or ghost-wrote over 65 books and enormous numbers of newspaper columns. He is often considered the inventor of gastronomic motor-tourism as popularized by Michelin, though he himself could not drive. The contents of the letter display an ironic point of interest. Escoffier, one year before his death is offering a glimpse of the changes he is seeing to his beloved French cuisine. Having re-organised, during his life time, the French kitchen so fundamentally from that of the Bel-Epoque era he is still only really interested in viewing the changes from the chef's point of view. It is obvious that even at the grand old age of eighty eight, he is still active and well informed.

- Escoffier started cooking in his uncle's restaurant at the tender age of thirteen. He was born in the village of Villeneuve-Loubet, near Nice on the 28th October, 1846 and died at Monte Carlo on 12th February, 1935. He was a prolific writer publishing many Culinary gems over a long distinguished career as the most famous Chef in the world. La Riz and La Morue were among the last of his ten major works, which he published at the respective grand ages of 80 and 82. (While Le Riz is scarce, Le Morue is very rare) His last book 'Ma Cuisine' was published in 1934 at the age of 87 -- by any standard; a remarkable life. A beautiful leather bound box to house two fine original Escoffier books, especially the very rare 'La Morue'.

(165)  Folding chart titled - "Tableau de Service dans une Grande Cuisine". The covers are the original terra-cotta colour with red and black lettering. They are slightly browned, with the spine cracked but holding well. Internally, it's very clean and bright. Also enclosed is a draft menu written by Escoffier at the Carlton Hotel, and dated by another hand in blue crayon - Mercredi 24-7-07 for Johnston Esq. Also enclosed, one of Escoffier's Carte du Jour printed menus from the Carlton Restaurant, the Carlton Hotel, Pall Mall, London, dated Dimanche, 21 Octobre 1906. In fine clean condition. All housed in a beautiful clamshell box bound in half dark brown leather with marble boards. The spine with raised bands, gilt lines and gilt tooling. Also with a red and green label and gilt lettering. The interior lined with fawn felt. Wonderful rare Escoffier items in fine original condition.
- The folding plate at the back of the book first appeared in 1903 in the first edition of Escoffier's major work "Le Guide Culinaire" The system laid out in the plate indicates the very precise way that Escoffier had re-organised the modern Kitchen from that of the Bel-Epoque era. It assigns the precise duties and dishes of each 'Partie' with the number of tables, couverts and times. However this chart does not indicate that each individual dish eventually served to the guest would have been sourced from numerous Kitchen 'Parties' before being cooked by one Chef de Partie (either Chef Saucier, Poissonier, Entremetier etc) and assembled on a platter for the waiter to carry to the Dining Room. The one enclosed rare draft menu written by Escoffier is a clear example of how the process works. Escoffier writes the menu in his typically messy scrawl and it is then sent to a comptroller who writes on the menu, the date and the name of the recipient of the special Dinner. It's then sent to be printed up on the formal designed menu cards to be placed before each guest at the Dinner. This special menu would also be written up in a more legible hand and posted on the kitchen banquet notice board one week before the dinner. As delineated in the folding plate, each menu is then broken down into the relevant kitchen department tasks, and each dish is then cooked and assembled for the whole dinner to served at the designated time. The Carte du Jour menu is also one of Escoffier's daily menus. His tenure at the Carlton Hotel lasted from 1899 to 1919. The book and the very rare items of Ephemera are a true and fantastic testament to Escoffier's far-reaching gastronomic influence within the highest reaches of English, European and American Society.

- Escoffier's great classic. Incomparable in many ways, not least in the fact it laid out what is now the modern Kitchen brigade with its departments clearly delineated and all recipes recorded that are still widely used today as the basics in most big Kitchen brigades. A mark of its classic place in Gastronomic history is that the recipes are still the basis of most Culinary schools curriculum. The great man is being re-discovered in this day and age once again. A sign of his lasting impact and a true appreciation for the skills and basically true recipes he used and recorded, in a time when change has become almost the norm, and food fads abound.

- John Evelyn (1620-1706) was a prolific writer and translator, touching on politics, manners, and religion as well as the more practical arts of architecture, painting and engraving, sculpture, numismatics, and perhaps what he is best known for (besides his diary) gardening and forestry. His most important original contributions are perhaps 'Sylva' which he composed at the behest of the Royal Society in 1664. Acetaria is but a chapter in 'Sylva' subtitled 'A Discourse of Sallets'. Part of Evelyn's literary knowledge of the garden were his translations of the French horticultural manual by Nicolas de Bonnefons and the garden poem (in Latin) by Renatus Rapinaus. Acetaria is certainly full of observations of how the English ways, either in the garden or at table, differed from French, Italian and Spanish - with occasional reference to India, Germany, Holland, Africa and America for good measure. The text also underscores the relative novelty of some aspects of the art of kitchen-gardening in England: we had much to learn by way of cultural techniques from the Dutch and the French, as well as plants that were of recent introduction, for example the Dutch cabbages brought over by Sir Anthony Ashley. His recipes for dressing salads is knowledgeable and interestingly not changed much in UK and Europe. Quite what Evelyn in his time, would have made of the myriad concoctions assembled to dress salads in America, and particularly in health obsessed California, one wonders. Due to the relative preparation of salads, where cooking is at a minimum, this book is quite ageless compared to other cookery books that mirror changing times.

- The 19th century brought an explosion in the popularity of gentlemen's clubs, particularly around the 1880s. At their height, London had over 400 such establishments. This expansion can be explained in part by the large extensions of the franchise in the Reform Acts of 1832, 1867, and 1885. Each time, hundreds of thousands more men were qualified to vote, and it was common for them to feel that they had been elevated to the status of a gentleman, thus they sought a club. The existing clubs, with strict limits on membership numbers and long waiting lists, were generally wary of such newly enfranchised potential members, and so these people began forming their own clubs. Each of the three great Reform Acts corresponded with a further expansion of clubs, as did a further extension of the franchise in 1918. Many of these new, more inclusive clubs proved just as reluctant as their forebears to admit new members when the franchise was further extended. An increasing number of clubs were characterised by their members' interest in politics, literature, sport, art, automobiles, travel, particular countries, or some other pursuit. In other cases, the connection between the members was membership of the same branch of the armed forces, or the same school or university. Thus, the growth of clubs provides an indicator as to what was considered a respectable part of the Establishment at the time. There are perhaps some 25 traditional London gentlemen's clubs of particular note, from The Arts Club to White's, Brooks etc. The Reform Club on the south side of Pall Mall in central London was founded on February 2nd 1836 by Edward Ellice, Member of Parliament for Coventry and Whig Whip, whose riches came from the Hudson's Bay Company, but whose zeal was chiefly devoted to securing the passage of the Reform Act 1832. Significantly, The Reform Club it was the first to change its rules to include the admission of women on equal terms in 1981. It also attracts a significant number of foreign members, such as diplomats accredited to the Court of St. James's. The Reform was known for the quality of its cuisine. Its first chef being Alexis Soyer, the first celebrity chef and cookery book author. He was followed by Charles Elme Francatelli, a former Head Chef of Queen Victoria. This a very handsome copy printed when the Club was at its height.

Q: Há alguma forma de passar os parâmetros para uma função de forma constante? Estou tentando fazer o seguinte, tenho essa conexão do InfluxDB:
InfluxDBClient('localhost', 8086, 'root', 'root', 'example')

Porém quero transformar esses parâmetros em uma constante, para não ter que ficar alterando no código toda vez que mudar.
No inicio pensei em criar para cada parâmetro:
INFLUXDB_HOST = 'influxdb'
INFLUXDB_PORT = 8086
INFLUXDB_USERNAME = 'root'
INFLUXDB_PASSWORD = 'root'
INFLUXDB_DATABASE = 'example'

Mas será que tem uma forma de juntar todos essas variáveis dentro de uma e passar direto na função?
InfluxDBClient(MINHAS_VARIAVEIS)

Influx não é o problema em si, o mesmo caso seria para o exemplo abaixo.
In [1]: def conta(a, b, c):
   ...:     print(a,b,c)
   ...:

In [2]: conta(1,2,3)
(1, 2, 3)

In [3]: teste = (1,2,3)

In [4]: conta(teste)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-5feac543a26b> in <module>()
----> 1 conta(teste)

TypeError: conta() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)

In [5]:

No caso eu não mudaria dentro da função (pois no Influx não há como).

A: Você poderia declarar suas varáveis numa lista, e então usar * para passar cada item como um argumento
CONFIG = ('localhost', 8086, 'root', 'root', 'example')
InfluxDBClient(*CONFIG)

Você poderia criar uma função que chama a InfluxDBClient passando os parâmetros necessarios
def localhostConnect(): return InfluxDBClient('localhost', 8086, 'root', 'root', 'example')

A: Tem algumas formas, mas não parece ser bem o que deseja. Estou partindo do pressuposto que pode e aceita mudar a função para trabalhar com parâmetro diferente do que aceita atualmente, nem que seja outra função. Se não pode fazer isto não o que fazer, terá que escrever todas variáveis, o que não é o fim do mundo. Suas opções são:

*

*Receber uma lista (ou dicionário, ou tupla) com esses valores. Em vez de ter variáveis soltas você teria uma lista. Isto pode correr de duas formas:

*

*Receber normalmente como um parâmetro

*Receber como uma lista de parâmetros usando o * (veja mais)

*Deixar de ter parâmetro e aí tem duas opções:

*

*Deixar as variáveis como globais (em geral não recomendado, mas há casos úteis), que podem ser acessadas então de qualquer lugar e já pega os dados lá dentro

*Cria uma função que retorna esses valores em uma lista ou dicionário ou tupla, então sempre que mudar o valor tem que mudar nesta função, e dentro da sua função consumidora você chama esta função e pega os dados. Assim fica um pouco mais organizado e só a função fica global e não as variáveis.

O que dá para fazer se não pode mudar a função é criar abstração, o que eu sempre falo, você chama a função que deseja do jeito que deseja dentro de uma função, e aí sempre chama esta função mais simples. Abstração é uma arte perdida que programadores antigos sempre usaram facilmente para esconder complexidade. Aí veio a orientação a objeto e as pessoas pararam de pensar nisso, só sabem agora criar soluções complexas.
Não tendo acesso à função original pode fazer isso em uma outra onde acessa as variáveis globais (que é o que parece querer) diretamente ali, assim não tem mais que digitar nada extra se a preocupação é esta. Exemplo:
def dbConnect(): return InfluxDBClient(INFLUXDB_HOST, INFLUXDB_PORT, INFLUXDB_USERNAME, INFLUXDB_PASSWORD = 'root', INFLUXDB_DATABASE)

Coloquei no GitHub para referência futura.

A: você pode encapsular sua função
 def novoNome(ParametroMutavel):
    return oldFunction(Parametrofixo, ParametroMutavel)

Exemplo com seu código
def newFunction():
    return InfluxDBClient('localhost', 8086, 'root', 'root', 'example')

Suponhamos que o exemple sempre mude
def newFunction(parametroMutavel):
    return InfluxDBClient('localhost', 8086, 'root', 'root', parametroMutavel)

suponhamos que tenha muitos parametros mutáveis voce pode passar por dicionário
obj = {
    'ip':'localhost',
    'port':8086,
    'user':'root',
    'pw':'root',
    'ex':'example',
}
def newFunction(dicionario):
    return InfluxDBClient(dicionario.get('ip'), dicionario.get('port'), dicionario.get('user'), dicionario.get('pw'), dicionario.get('ex'))

Christabel Beeson is hosting another supper club, by the Regent's Canal in Hoxton, this time with a seaside theme, including seafood, samphire and sand (although hopefully you won't be eating the sand!) It's on Thursday 29th May, and tickets are just £30, and it's BYOB.
"The Seaside hits London with the birth of CHRISTABEL'S Summer supper club series.
You will enter into a rustic, quirky haven of shells, sand, fish, and samphire.
Diners will indulge in cocktails & seafood, over a candlelit banqueting table - all set in a hip East London location.
If you are looking for a memorable, immersive dining experience, set in unique surroundings, this supper of seaside exoticism is one not to miss... "


Early last week, after work, myself and gal pal, Harriet, headed up to the West End for Vogue's Fashion Night Out (#VFNO). I had never been to VFNO before, so I had absolutely no idea what to expect, but the streets of Oxford Street and the surrounding area were alive with the style elite of London, each with an arm full of shopping bags and a champagne fuelled haze. I was pleasantly surprised at the huge turnout and the amount of stores taking part. Our first stop of the evening, and most definitely the best stop was the Superdry Regent Street store. Superdry is honestly a brand I would never have associated myself with previously. In the past, when I thought of Superdry, bright slogan t-shirts and branded windcheater jackets would come to mind. However, recently whilst browsing the Superdry website I recently realised how wrong and narrow-minded I was to assume such a thing. Superdry are much more than bright colours, outdoor clothing and slogans; they've developed a Premium Collection which a lot higher end and on trend, taking notes from the catwalks each season.
The best way to sum up my feelings about the Superdry Premium collection, particularly the leather items, is 100x the heart eyed emoji! The Superdry team treated us to an evening of endless pick n' mix, on hand styling advice from MTV's Lilah Parsons and a live acoustic set by The Fireflies. Thanks Superdry, I'll be back next year!
What do you think of the Superdry Premium collection?

The quirky charms of bus travel
With Greyhound abandoning Canada, here's a fond look back riding via coach.
Aug 13, 2021 • August 13, 2021 • 5 minute read • Join the conversation
Motorcoach operator Greyhound is rolling out of Canada, leaving a long legacy of inexpensive and interesting travel on the open road. Photo by Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press
Air travel's wings are permanently clipped on the glamour front — with health measures piling misery on to already onerous security steps — while the romance of the rails is largely a relic living on only for those rich in wallet and time.
But they had their day in the sun, injecting an element of excitement to travelling eagerly abetted by advertisers.
The quirky charms of bus travel Back to video
Not so the poor old bus.
With Greyhound Canada announcing in May it is permanently shutting down all its Canadian routes, the market for motorcoach journeys has never been darker — and less fashionable.
It wasn't always so.
Before deregulation of the skies in the U.S., the cheapest if not most comfortable means of covering long distances was by bus.
My first epic post-high school journey across the Atlantic was a fairly straightforward trip by car to Seattle and then a non-stop Pan-Am flight to London Heathrow.
My return, however, hobbled by a depleted bank account after seven months on the road, involved a budget flight to Newark, N.J., a surface transfer to New York City and then a cross-country Trailways bus to Bellingham, Wash., north of Seattle.
First, though, I had to navigate the cavelike maze of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, an intimidating hulk in the middle of early-'80s drugged-out Manhattan. When I felt hands on my backpack as I strolled near Times Square, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Turns out a Good Samaritan was helping me adjust my load.
But with NYC's reputation then, my first thought was a tabloid headline: Unhappy Trails for Dim Traveller.
My tensions eased when I eventually settled into my bus seat for the four-day, three-night journey, the industrial sprawl of New York and New Jersey giving way to bucolic scenes more reminiscent of the English hills I'd just left.
If bus travel has an Achilles heel, however, it comes in the form of fellow passengers. It's hard not to sound snobbish over this, but travelling by coach can often be an ordeal by proximity. To be sure, airplanes and rail cars have their share of malodorous, maladjusted and just plain malignant customers.
But the tight confines of the bus, and its last-resort tightwad image, attract a particular medley of motley characters who could fill the actors-uncredited list of the bleakest film noir. Everyone looks on the run: from their creditors, from their families, from their demons, from themselves.
As our Trailways service trundled through what Americans now dismissively call "flyover" country, I was both bemused and appalled by the slice of Americana unfolding before me. This was well before the opioid epidemic roiling North America, but several of my fellow riders were grappling with obvious addictions, not least evidenced by the empty bottles and vomit that occasionally littered the floor.
When you're 19, it's just part of the adventure. Yet it was hard not to shake the feeling one was riding a rolling equivalent of the last-chance saloon.
For all that, I have vivid memories of seeing the United States in a manner almost impossible but by bus, where the driving and refuelling are someone else's concern.
I saw the ravages of post-industrial Rust Belt economies in places like Gary, Ind., and Toledo, Ohio. I marvelled at the shining confidence of the western metropolis of Denver. And I revelled in chit-chat about accents with a fellow budget-minded Brit at fly-blown cafés in Nebraska.
A bus journey undertaken a few years later was equally epic, but this one was marked not by its oddballs and urban wastelands but by its utter loneliness. Travelling by Greyhound from Perth, the state capital of Western Australia and one of the most isolated cities in the world, to the South Australian state capital of Adelaide — a distance of 2,700 kilometres across some of the most unforgiving terrain anywhere — was a lesson in isolation.
This was before the internet, and I shall never forget the eagerness with which a young man in Kalgoorlie solicited my day-old copy of a dog-eared Perth daily paper I'd been about to discard. I was a knight delivering news from the Crusades.
Continuing east across the vast Nullarbor Plain, I have a seared-in memory of our jovial driver pulling off the empty highway at midnight, inviting his groggy charges to gaze at the stars. Sleep-deprived and aching, most us trudged out reluctantly. A few stars? Big deal.
As we stood near the edge of a sheer cliff that stretched to infinity in the inky blackness, the Great Australian Bight before us and the Outback terrain unspooling behind us, we stared slack-jawed at a velvet carpet of diamonds overhead. Unscheduled stops like that can make you forget all the indignities of bus travel.
I've squeezed myself onto other buses in the years since: From Auckland to Wellington in New Zealand (while the driver crooned Welcome to My World); from Pretoria to Port Elizabeth in South Africa, via the Drakensberg mountains and Nelson Mandela's home village of Qunu; and from Calgary to Vancouver through prairie grasslands and mountain passes to the soggy floor of the Fraser Valley.
Even recently, I've ridden the overnight Megabus service (ca.megabus.com) from Manhattan to Toronto to save on hotel costs. A double-decker, it was comfortable and uncrowded, allowing for a few solid hours of sleep as we cruised through serene Upstate New York.
The long-distance coach is still a way of life elsewhere, including in Britain, where the National Express connects with Eurolines for service to European destinations. It remains the only option for those of limited means, especially where rail and air service are lacking.
Sadly, however, the bus can never quite shake its no-respect Rodney Dangerfield baggage.
Even Hollywood has a dig. In the 1934 rom-com It Happened One Night, one of the few films where a long-haul bus trip is central to the plot, the dashing Clark Gable looks thoroughly miserable as he pretzels himself into a jammed night service with hat boxes and suitcases threatening to turn Miami-New York into a one-way ticket to hell.
You wouldn't get that on the Orient Express. But then you wouldn't get Toledo's temptations, Kansas coffee klatches or an impromptu date with the heavens, either.

Liverpool's 5 best Anfield wins vs Tottenham Hotspur
Ahead of the Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, we look at five of The Reds' best wins at Anfield over Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur might, finally, have their new stadium but they'll have to wait a little longer before playing there.
This Sunday, Liverpool welcome Mauricio Pochettino's struggling side to Anfield, where the Reds will be looking to extend Spurs' four-game winless run.
Ahead of the match, we look back on some of Liverpool's best Premier League wins against Tottenham at Anfield.
Boosted odds on the Spurs game can be found here
Liverpool 4-0 Tottenham — March 30, 2014
Sunday's match will take place five years and a day after this trouncing, which took just a matter of minutes to get going in the Reds' favour.
Glen Johnson, careering down the wing on the overlap, put in a low cross in the second minute, that deflected off first Jan Vertonghen and then Younes Kaboul, and into the net.
It didn't take long to score a second, again coming from a Spurs error at the back. Michael Dawson's poor pass played in Luis Suarez, who did what he did so often at Anfield, and put it into the back of the net.
The second two goals came after the break, with Philippe Coutinho adding to the lead on 55 minutes. Twenty minutes after that, current skipper Jordan Henderson scored directly from a wide free-kick that Suarez and Daniel Agger both dummied, bamboozling the hapless Hugo Lloris.
Liverpool 4-0 Tottenham — November 8, 1997
The match in 2014 wasn't the first time the Reds have soundly beaten Spurs 4-0 at Anfield in the Premier League, though. This game in 1997 saw four different scorers put goals past Iain Walker in the Tottenham goal, although all four came after half-time.
Despite ending the first half goalless, Liverpool struck two in the first five minutes of the second half. Steve McManaman got the first, with Oyvind Leonhardsen doubling the lead two minutes later. Leonhardsen, coincidentally, would join Tottenham after leaving Liverpool in 1999.
Two more familiar names got the final two goals, Jamie Redknapp striking just after the hour-mark, with Michael Owen rounding the scoring off four minutes before full-time.

Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham — February 11, 2017
The Reds' last home league win against Tottenham took place over two years ago, last season's tie at Anfield having ended in a 2-2 draw.
Sadio Mane is in great form now, and he was in great form back then as well, bagging both goals in this match with a quickfire 11th- and 18th-minute double.
The Senegal international has scored seven for the Reds in his last five matches in all competitions. He's shot up to equal-second in the Premier League golden boot race, alongside Mohamed Salah on 17. Is this previous victory a sign of things to come this weekend?
Liverpool vs Spurs Special: Sadio Mane to score first and Liverpool to win
Liverpool 3-0 Tottenham — September 23, 2006
The older of Liverpool's big home league wins against Tottenham have tended to feature a mix of familiar and less common goalscorers.
This 3-0 win was one of those, with Mark Gonzalez bagging one of his two league goals in his year-long Liverpool career to open the scoring of this tie.
It had taken just over an hour to get the breakthrough, but once it came there was no stopping Liverpool. Just ten minutes later, Dirk Kuyt added a second, and John Arne Riise got a third late on.
Liverpool vs Spurs markets
Liverpool 6-2 Tottenham — May 8, 1993
Late goals in these fixtures, it seems, is a pattern. With ten minutes remaining in this tie, the first Anfield meeting between the two teams in the Premier League era, the score was just 3-2.
Ian Rush and John Barnes had put Graeme Souness' Reds ahead before Teddy Sheringham pulled one back just before half-time. Steve Harkness restored Liverpool's two-goal lead just after the break and things looked to be going well, but with 17 minutes to go Steve Sedgley pulled one back.
But then Liverpool went into top gear. Mark Walters converted a penalty in the 82nd minute, before Rush and Barnes got their second of the game in the 85th and 88th.

Apple's Rare eMate 300 Turns Up on eBay Priced at $8500
By Jane McEntegart 2012-04-18T22:20:00Z
This week, Apple celebrated the 35th birthday of the Apple II, its very first machine, and it's safe to say the company has come a long, long way since then. This week, another Apple relic has cropped up on eBay to remind us just how far Cupertino has come, particularly in the last 15 years. Back in 1997, well before the names iPhone and Siri meant anything to anyone, Apple launched the eMate 300 personal assistant. The product was discontinued after less than a year on the market, so unless you're a dyed-in-the-wool Apple fan, chances are you don't have one.
However, thanks to the wonders of eBay and one man's junk being another man's treasure, an eMate 300 is now on sale on the auctioning site. Carrying a buy-it-now price of $8,499.99, the laptop hasn't generated a significant amount of buzz just yet, but we're sure someone will want this little piece of Apple history.
The eMate 300 packed a backlit 480x320 16-shade grayscale display complete with stylus, a full-sized keyboard, a 25MHz ARM 710a RISC processor and integrated rechargeable batteries, which lasted a whopping 28 hours on one charge. The model on sale is a pre-production prototype with a clear case. The seller, Maple Ridge Auction, says fewer than six of these prototypes were produced. The entire thing ran on Apple's Newton operating system.
While the eMate 300 might seem a bit of a dud, especially when you consider the fact that it was killed off before Apple managed to get all of the promised colors out the door, it can take credit for one thing: It eventually led to Apple's iBook laptop, which featured a similar durable plastic case as well as a handle.

Amazing how much has changed in 15 years. Going from 25 MHz machines with 16 colors to multi-core CPUs running at 3-4 Ghz pushing 2 million pixels 60 times a second.

Those are "buy and hide" things. You wont even try to use it, what if it brakes!?
But the eternal question remains:Can it run...?

Well in fairness, we have gone from 25mhz ARM processors to about 1.5ghz ARM dual core or 1.3 ghz quad core processors. You can't compare this with a desktop... if you did, you would see a 100-120mhz computer against a quad core 4ghz....
ok not much of a difference, but still a little.

Going from 25 MHz machines with 16 colors to multi-core CPUs running at 3-4 Ghz pushing 2 million pixels 60 times a second.This isn't a good representation of laptops in 1997. In 1997 my family had a Compaq laptop with a 12" 1024x768 32-bit color (or maybe 16-bit, can't remember) screen and a Pentium ~200mhz cpu.

Give it two more years and we'll be carrying what would be deemed a supercomputer in 1980 that sits in the palm of our hands.

Looks like an old prototype of a classmate pc.
mightymaxio 19 April 2012 04:14
Was going to say in 1997 i had a Pentium 2 300mhz machine, I always thought laptops from that era had more juice in em than 25mhz. Maybe that system is similar to a net book instead of a comparable laptop.
dimar 19 April 2012 04:52
Looks more like a huge PDA than a laptop.

"The model on sale is a pre-production prototype"
How long till Apple forces them to close the auction, and claim ownership since its a "pre-production prototype"??..
Mathos 19 April 2012 05:03
It'd actually be a cross between a netbook and tablet pc. But, back then RISC processors were much slower clockspeed wise, but, they could perform pretty close to any x86 processor at the time for specific tasks. For example look at the xbox compared to the PS2, xbox had a 900mhz celeron, and the ps2 had a 294Mhz MIPS III/IV based RISC processor.

JNU rape case: Accused files plea for interim bail
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi, Aug. 23 (ANI): All India Students' Association (AISA) activist Anmol Ratan, who has been accused of raping a first-year PhD student of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), today filed an anticipatory bail plea before a Delhi Court. The court will hear the matter on August 27. Following the complaint by the 28-year-old victim, the Vasant Kunj Police registered a case under Sections 376 (punishment for rape) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The victim claimed that she had earlier in June asked in a Facebook post for a copy of the movie 'Sairat', to which the accused responded that he got a copy, said the police. On August 20, the accused picked up the victim from her hostel on the pretext of providing her a copy of the movie, said the police, adding that he took her to his Brahamputra hostel where he offered her some "laced" drink and allegedly raped her. The police further said the accused did not allow her to leave the hostel and also threatened her. Meanwhile, taking serious note of the alleged rape, the university yesterday issued an advisory and advised students, staff and teachers to remain vigilant against such incidences, adding the administration does not tolerate such incidents and resolves to take appropriate measures to prevent them in the future. The JNU authorities said, "The University always stands for dignity of the individual, respect for women and democratic values. It is in this light that the JNU administration strongly condemns the incident of heinous rape in a hostel on the campus on August 20." "This has completely shaken the JNU Community and has tarnished the image of the university. The administration does not tolerate such incidences and resolves to take appropriate measures to prevent them in the future. The entire JNU community stands with the victim," the university authorities added. (ANI)

The cash flow statement is one of three primary financial statements that companies use to measure, track and commuicate their financial status (the others being the income statement or profit and loss statement, and the balance sheet). A cash flow statement is similar to the income statement in that it presents a company's performance over a period of time. The income statement includes items that do not affect cash during that period (e.g., depreciation and amortization), while the cash flow statement presents only the items that affect cash and tells you how much cash the company has generated. There are several ways to derive and present a cash flow statement. Typically, it will present cash generated from or used in three areas: from the core business operations, from investing in or selling long-term assets like machinery or other businesses, and from financing such as borrowing or issuing stock. The net increase or decrease in cash tells you whether the company's cash balance has increased or decreased over the time period being measured. See also: Balance Sheet, Income Statement

Original Autographed Photo of Mary Pickford, circa 1918
An Original Autographed Photograph of Mary Pickford, in the original frame. Just one in a long line of strange items I have collected.
Size in frame is 10 inches x 8.25 inches.
There are some minor loss on the image as commensurate with age and as seen in the photographs I've posted.
Mary Pickford, was a Canadian-American film actress, writer, director, and producer. She was a co-founder of the film studio United Artists and one of the original 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Known in her prime as "America's Sweetheart" and the "girl with the curls", Pickford was one of the Canadian pioneers in early Hollywood and a significant figure in the development of film acting. Pickford was one of the earliest stars to be billed under her name (film performers up until that time were usually unbilled), and was one of the most popular actresses of the 1910s and '20s, earning the nickname "Queen of the Movies".
She was awarded the second ever Academy Award for Best Actress for her first sound film role in Coquette (1929) and also received an honorary Academy Award in 1976. In consideration of her contributions to American cinema, the American Film Institute ranked Pickford as 24th in its 1999 list of greatest female stars of classic Hollywood Cinema.
Pickford became secretly involved in a relationship with Douglas Fairbanks. They toured the US together in 1918 to promote Liberty Bond sales for the World War I effort. Around this time, Pickford also suffered from the flu during the 1918 flu pandemic, but survived.Pickford divorced Moore on March 2, 1920, after she agreed to his $100,000 demand for a settlement. She married Fairbanks just days later on March 28, 1920. They went to Europe for their honeymoon; fans in London and in Paris caused riots trying to get to the famous couple. The couple's triumphant return to Hollywood was witnessed by vast crowds who turned out to hail them at railway stations across the United States.
The Mark of Zorro (1920) and a series of other swashbucklers gave the popular Fairbanks a more romantic, heroic image. Pickford continued to epitomize the virtuous but fiery girl next door. Even at private parties, people instinctively stood up when Pickford entered a room; she and her husband were often referred to as "Hollywood royalty". Their international reputations were broad. Foreign heads of state and dignitaries who visited the White House often asked if they could also visit Pickfair, the couple's mansion in Beverly Hills.
Dinners at Pickfair included a number of notable guests. Charlie Chaplin, Fairbanks' best friend, was often present. Other guests included George Bernard Shaw, Albert Einstein, Elinor Glyn, Helen Keller, H. G. Wells, Lord Mountbatten, Fritz Kreisler, Amelia Earhart, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Noël Coward, Max Reinhardt, Baron Nishi, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Austen Chamberlain, Sir Harry Lauder, and Meher Baba, among others. The public nature of Pickford's second marriage strained it to the breaking point. Both she and Fairbanks had little time off from producing and acting in their films. They were also constantly on display as America's unofficial ambassadors to the world, leading parades, cutting ribbons, and making speeches. When their film careers both began to flounder at the end of the silent era, Fairbanks' restless nature prompted him to overseas travel (something which Pickford did not enjoy). When Fairbanks' romance with Sylvia, Lady Ashley became public in the early 1930s, he and Pickford separated. They divorced January 10, 1936. Fairbanks' son
by his first wife, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., claimed his father and Pickford long regretted their inability to reconcile.[1]
