Home Blog Entertainment Ranveer Singh Deepika Padukone Where Is Their Relationship Headed To Predictions
The Cosmos Doesn't Indicate Marriage For Dippy and Ranveer Anytime Soon!
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh Wedding and Their Marriage Astrology
"The relationship may take a different turn in the coming months, and things may not be all the same again..."
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are two of the most talked about celebrities of Bollywood and together they make a sizzling hot pair. The former is a super-successful and ultra-popular actress and she is being seen as the star who will be the next queen of Bollywood! Dippy is an exotic and a refreshing mix of some of the finest acting skills, bewitching and super-hot looks, an athletic body and oodles of talent! Ranveer on the other hand comes across a super-talented, super-enthusiastic, super-fit actor with a raw appeal and charming machismo. With great display of PDA in various events and with electric chemistry, these two have seemingly been in a stable relationship, but things do not seem to be all normal of late between the love birds! The rumour mills are working overtime to guess what could be fishy and there have also been some reports of some problems mounting between the two. But who can give us a better idea than Ganesha himself. So, let's tag along with him and find the answers...
Deepika Padukone's Surya Kundli
Date of Birth – January 5, 1986
Place of Birth – Copenhagen, Denmark
Chart Type: Surya Kundli (Birth Time Unavailable)
Place of Birth:- Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Will this relationship be sustainable?
The Astro-Gyaan...
As per universal Zodiac, the Libra sign indicates personal unions. In other words, it stands for marriage and related matters. In this case, there is heavy affliction found in Libra sign. Ranveer has Ketu and retrograde Saturn in Libra sign, both are separative planets by nature. Deepika has Ketu and Mars in Libra sign! These configurations denote that the initial charm and attraction may not necessarily manifest into the ultimate bond of a relationship, that is marriage. Things may anytime take an ugly turn.
Ranveer's Mars in Gemini opposes Deepika's Venus in Sagittarius. Additionally, there is Sun to Sun opposition in both the Horoscopes, so we can easily argue that opposites attract! Yes, that's true but just 'attraction' doesn't promise a stable and successful union.
The effects and implications...
Ganesha really doubts sustainability of this relationship. Even if this looks a pretty promising relationship at present, the couple may have a bumpy ride in the in the future so careful handling of the relationship will be a prerequisite. Both of them will have to nurture the relationship with great care and patience, so that it doesn't take a wrong turn.
How will this relationship affect the either person's success in films?
There are no strong planetary contact points indicating such a factor or a significant influence on each other's career. This means that 'Ram' and 'Leela' will be able to enjoy great fluidity and a freewheeling joy when it comes to their individual careers. There will not be the problems that many face in a realationship due to either an overpossesive girlfriend or a controlling boyfriend.
Is there a marriage on the horizon?
In absence of birth time this is very difficult to foretell, but the Solar Charts do not indicate their marriage in the near future. However, the month of January may prove to be an eventful month for the couple.

Q: how can we avoid header and footer code repeating in each html pages I have some ten html pages each page also has same header and footer tag can i have one page with complete header and footer ,and i will refer to that particular page from other html pages.

A: If you don't care about users who have JavaScript disabled, or are using some mobile platforms, you can use JavaScript to do it.
headerfooter.js
window.onload = function ()
    {
        var header = document.getElementById('header');
        var footer = document.getElementByID('footer');

        header.innerHTML = "
My website

Rules
";
        footer.innerHTML = "This code is in the public domain";
    }

page.html

    ... Your content ...

But don't do this, it's user unfriendly, and unprofessional. Just stick with either using php, or building a solid template which doesn't need to be edited much later.

A: You do this by using a server side language like PHP or another one of the myriad different languages out there, which pre-processes the page. Something along these lines:
<?php include 'header.html'; ?>

... page contents...

<?php include 'footer.html'; ?>

A: What's your server side scripting language? You can do what is called an "include."
The exact syntax depends on the language(s) your web server supports.

A: Presuming the "master-pages" tag on the question refers to ASP.NET, here's a Super Link.
Ps. You should give Ruby on Rails a try as well :)

A: Use Django. The best thing out there when you get a hang of it :)

A: Absolutely we can Avoid Writing same code like header and footer on multiple pages by having just a single header and footer content defined and use it on all pages.
Lets assume you have header and footer elements in your index.html for example as shown below:

Use JavaScript to store header and footer contents in a variable

Use this script on pages you would like to add header and footer and enjoy the power of JavaScript.

Code Duplication must be minimum in our document as it increases
redundancy(Extra content not actually needed)/size of document + its
really unprofessional to have same code repeated over and over again.

We can discuss this topic of Code Duplication in much greater depth with lots of cons(Disadvantages) and Less pros(Advantages).
JavaScript is the best solution because no server-side scripting needed, only Client side scripting and yeah for this to work, your client side browsers must have JavaScript Enabled that's default for major browsers nowadays.

One Night Only
Jon Stewart Lands a New TV Gig . . . at ESPN
For one night only, watch the erstwhile Daily Show host anchor SportsCenter.
By Laura Bradley
By Theo Wargo/Getty Images.
Well, this is unexpected. On Friday, Jon Stewart will return to TV—to host an episode of SportsCenter on ESPN, alongside SportsCenter "Face to Face" host Hannah Storm. Stewart has been relatively absent from the airwaves since he left his post behind the desk at The Daily Show two years ago, although he has returned to TV a couple times as a guest on Stephen Colbert's Late Show. He's also popped up at sporting events like the 2016 NBA All-Star Game. On Friday, though, he'll be in the host's chair once more—for a good cause.
According to The Chicago Tribune, Stewart and Storm will broadcast from Chicago's United Center, where the 2017 Warrior Games launched on June 30. The sports event is organized by the Department of Defense, and organizes 265 wounded, ill, and injured service members from branches across the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as the U.K. Armed Forces and the Australian Defence Force. Friday is the event's penultimate day, and per the Tribune, Stewart was also on hand to host the games' opening ceremony. He and Storm will anchor live segments during SportsCenter's 6 P.M. episode, and host the 7 P.M. installment. And during the 11 P.M. hour, Stewart will do a live interview.
But beyond hosting coverage of the event, it seems Stewart was also instrumental in getting the program on television in the first place. As the comedian told the Tribune, he got the idea that the event should broadcast on ESPN when he attended last year's games. "It was great, but it was [just] the athletes, their families, their caregivers and it felt like something that the public should be involved in," the comedian said. "On the way home, I was saying, 'This is where the cameras should be, this would be perfect for ESPN.' And my son just said, 'Well, why don't you call them?'"
For fans who are still mourning the nixed plans for Stewart's Daily Show follow-up on HBO, this presents a rare opportunity to see the comedian who changed late night back on the small screen. But Stewart clearly hopes viewers tune in for more than that. True to form, he expressed his hopes for the event's philanthropic potential with a joke: "If a shot-put falls in the forest, does it make a sound? It'd be nice if it made a sound."

Mazda introduced a sports version of the Mazda6
Mazda has created a new sporty variant of the Mazda6 GT SP as part of the 2021 update for the Japanese brand's line of mid-size sedans and station wagons.
The new Mazda6 GT SP essentially replaces the Mazda6 GT and gets a host of sporty features, including black 19-inch alloy wheels, black mirror caps, and red leather seat upholstery inside and red stitching on the door panels and around the dashboard. It also features additional lighting on the door handles, around the air vents and along the dashboard, as well as heated front and rear seats.
As sales of midsize passenger cars continue to shrink, the Japanese automaker is hoping the new sporty Mazda6 GT SP will revive interest in the model. The current Mazda6 will still be in the ranks, although Mazda is already developing a more luxurious version of the car with rear-wheel drive and a new inline-six with around 354bhp to compete with premium sedans from BMW and Audi.
With the exception of new body paint and a $ 100-700 price increase, Mazda hasn't offered any changes for the Mazda6 lineup since 2012 in a while. Two 2.5-liter petrol engines continue to power the front wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The entry-level Mazda6 Sport and Touring models are paired with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder 190 hp petrol engine. and 252 Nm of torque.
The new Mazda6 GT SP and the top model Atenza are powered by a more powerful 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 231 hp. and 420 Nm. In addition, these two variants also receive new external 'Turbo' badges.
Entry-level models come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights / taillights, adjustable power and heated mirrors, dual-zone climate control with rear air vents, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity via 8.0-inch color touch display.
Fabric seats, an auto-hold electric parking brake, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear lever are also standard, as are the steering wheel shift paddles. Touring models add LED daytime running, adjustable front seats, black leather upholstery, front parking sensors and advanced keyless entry.
The safety suite includes lane keep assist, radar cruise control with stop and go function, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, automatic high beam control, rear parking sensors, autonomous emergency braking and road sign recognition.
Along with the aforementioned elements, the Mazda6 GT SP gets adaptive headlights, while the top model Atenza adds a sunroof, ventilated front seats and upholstery in walnut or pure white Nappa leather. In addition, the sporty variant gets a 7.0-inch digital instrument display, interior and exterior LED lighting, frameless rearview mirror, wood door and end inserts, 360-degree all-round parking monitor and heated steering wheel.

Q: plot GADM shapefile in Python I want to plot GADM shape file from https://gadm.org/data.html. The file is sth like "gadm36_CHN_1_sp.rds". Can I plot this in Python and also add my data on this map please? Or is there other way to plot provincial boundaries for countries like China and others? Thanks.
Update to this question: now I understand that ".rds" files are designed for use in R programming. I am now using Geopandas Python package to process shapefiles with traditional format (.shp).

A: I found the GeoPandas library to be most useful for getting started with this:-
http://geopandas.org/io.html
It will load in shapefiles easily and allow you to plot them.
Read up and see if it will do what you want. You could also add your own data to the GeoPandas dataframe so it can be plotted.
For something a bit more powerful and permanent, I've got on well using a PostGIS extension on a PostGreSQL database. It's not too hard to load a shapefile into that, use python to script it and then visualise it in a page or notebook like Jupyter.
Happy to describe in more detail if this sounds useful.
Phil

A: For anyone falling here, I used a GeoPandas script to create a GeoDataFrame from GADM data for a long time and instead of copy/pasting it everywhere I turned it into a public lib: pygadm
For your use case I would do:
import pygadm

# both lines works
gdf = pygadm.get_items(name="Anhui")
gdf = pygadm.get_items(admin="CHN.1_1")
gdf.plot()

Top Plants: Bull Run Fossil Plant, Clinton, Tennessee
Owner/operator: Tennessee Valley Authority
When TVA's Bull Run Fossil Plant was erected in the mid-1960s, it could boast of having the largest boiler in the U.S., and the plant has enjoyed a long, enviable efficiency track record. Today the public judges coal plants by their emissions. Now that it's been outfitted with the most advanced air quality control systems, including the latest flue gas desulfurization system design, Bull Run scores a perfect "10" in both categories.
The Bull Run Fossil Plant, located on the Clinch River near Oak Ridge, Tenn., is unique in that it is the only single-unit, coal-fired plant on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) power system. The 920-MW plant uses a unique supercritical, once-through boiler technology with twin, divided-wall furnace boiler formed with about 300 miles of furnace, superheater, reheater, and economizer tubing. When the plant entered commercial service in 1967, its boiler was the largest ever erected in the U.S. (Figure 1)

There are benefits to being unique: Bull Run has been consistently recognized as one of the most efficient steam plants in the U.S.
Time to Add a Scrubber
Bull Run burns either medium- or low-sulfur coals from Central Appalachia. TVA contracted with Advatech for the installation of a wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system, or scrubber, on the plant in 2005, after installation of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit to reduce NOx emissions.
The Bull Run FGD Project — which added the eighth scrubber to the TVA system and was the second to use Advatech's double contact flow scrubber (DCFS) technology — is part of TVA's $5.7 billion emissions upgrade program. Of that total, $1.5 billion has been allocated to five scrubbers at four TVA plants. At last count, TVA had invested $450 million for its SCR and FGD system upgrades at Bull Run alone. TVA plans for two Advatech scrubbers to begin service at the Kingston Fossil Plant this year and next.
TVA elected to package the complete Bull Run project scope — engineer, procure, construct (EPC) — including balance-of-plant and original equipment manufacturer FGD technology, into one contract. TVA engineers developed the conceptual design and defined the entire project scope of work and emissions guarantees, including a very aggressive 98% sulfur removal efficiency (see table). Advatech — a URS/Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America joint venture — was selected as the EPC contractor in a multiple scrubber system purchase by TVA. The FGD technology was supplied by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

The EPC scope of supply included every aspect of the project: detailed engineering, procurement, construction, start-up and commissioning services; ductwork; absorber module; internal piping; nine recycle pumps; new 500-foot stack with a fiberglass-reinforced plastic liner (the old 800-foot stack remains in place); three forced oxidation compressors; three air rotary spargers that provide combined oxidation and slurry agitation; mist eliminators; redundant dry preground limestone unloading, storage, and feed systems; distributed control system for FGD and existing plant upgrade; electrical power distribution system (including transformers); and all foundation and building systems. The EPC contract did not include high-voltage electrical supply or construction of the gypsum storage facility.
The FGD project contract release date was April 19, 2005, and the system entered commercial operation on December 13, 2008.
Inside the Scrubber
The Bull Run FGD system consists of a single DCFS twin tower absorber housed inside a 36,540-square-foot scrubber building plus recycle pumps that spray the slurry into the exhaust gas and forced oxidation compressors that blow air through the rotating air spargers that keep the limestone slurry mixture suspended. Also added were two 160-foot silos for storing preground limestone that is trucked to the plant.
In the Advatech DCFS system, a slurry of gypsum and limestone is evenly distributed throughout the absorber tower by spray nozzles, that are installed at the bottom. This is in contrast to conventional systems, in which slurry is sprayed from the top. As a result, the slurry contacts the flue gas twice, first when it is sprayed upward and again when the gas reverses direction (Figure 2).
2. Two-stage scrubber. The stack gas must pass through a shower of limestone slurry in each separate scrubber section to remove the SO2. That SO2 combines with limestone slurry to form gypsum, which is stored on site. Courtesy: URS Washington Division
The first tower is a cocurrent scrubber, where the exhaust gas contacts slurry mixture sprayed upward from the spray nozzles, which then follows the downward flow of the gas. The slurry droplets fall into a million-gallon alloy absorber tank at the bottom of the scrubber. The gas then exits the first tower and enters the second tower, which is a counter-current scrubber in which the gas moves up through the slurry mix that is sprayed upward. Again, the droplets fall into the common absorber tank. The flue gas exits the scrubber by passing through a two-stage vertical flow mist eliminator before entering the stack (Figure 3).
3. Clean gas. The new 500-foot stack exhausts combustion gases after more than 98% of SO2 has been removed in the new scrubber. Courtesy: URS Washington Division
A slight increase in the size of the absorber, adding turning vanes in the existing unit draft system, and other passive draft pressure drop improvements kept the additional pressure drop of the system to a minimum. The gas flow rate is maintained between 10 and 15 fps through the absorber vessel.
At design conditions, the slurry solids content in the reaction tank is maintained at 30% by weight, promoting gypsum crystal growth and reducing scaling potential on the vessel's internal surfaces. The high level of suspended solids also provides higher alkalinity in the scrubber slurry to enhance sulfur dioxide (SO2) absorption and makes the system more responsive to changes in inlet concentration of SO2 (Figure 4).
4. Recycle bin. The limestone and gypsum slurry is sprayed into each scrubber section by nine absorber recycle pumps. Each pump is rated 48,000 gpm and has a 1,100-hp motor. The limestone and gypsum slurry is stored in a 1 million–gallon absorber tank. Courtesy: URS Washington Division
Overcoming Challenges
The Bull Run project encountered several challenges. One of the biggest involved major modifications to the existing ductwork to connect the FGD system. The initial plan for the major outage required for this work was to remove a large section of the old duct entirely and replace it with a new duct of approximately double the cross-sectional area. This plan would have required additional outage time to demolish the old duct before the new one could be erected. Instead, an alternate approach was developed and implemented.
The existing duct was retained, and a top hat duct system in a "C" shape was installed over the existing duct (Figure 3) while the unit was still operating. Once the unit was off line, the top of the existing duct was removed, and the new flow path was established. This approach yielded considerable savings in outage duration and cost.
During the first part of 2006, the entire industry experienced a high demand for commodities and fabrication shop space due in large part to utility air quality projects. Structural steel shape material and shop space were in short supply, as were absorber panel and flue gas duct shop fabrication space, and their availability was crucial to maintaining project schedules. At Bull Run, engineering design was accelerated in order to place a steel order and contract for fabrication shop space. Even though the structural engineers had barely recovered from the effects of Hurricane Katrina (see sidebar), they succeeded in providing enough design and detail to place a steel mill order and secure the shop space. Steel fabrication was also sequenced to meet the critical path construction activities.
By mid-2006 a strategic decision was made, based on total cost of ownership, to switch from an onsite limestone grinding system to preground limestone (PGLS) provided by a local quarry. This was a difficult decision, considering that the ball mills had already been purchased, fabricated, and were ready to be delivered, and the designs for ball mill building, structures, and the supporting system were complete. As a result, the ball mill grinding systems were eliminated, and a PGLS storage and feed system was designed, procured, and erected. This system is designed for truck delivery of the PGLS and features pneumatics to both unload limestone into the storage silos and transport it from the silos directly into the absorber.
Because project construction was at its peak at the time of the switch, the PGLS addition was organized and implemented, for the most part, as a standalone project, but it was integrated into the FGD project execution. This approach minimized impacts to the execution of the base FGD structural, mechanical, and electrical work.
Not Even a Hurricane Can Stop This Team
The Bull Run FGD Project was fully released for engineering and procurement in July 2005. However, in August 2005 detailed engineering was severely affected when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, home of the Bull Run EPC project engineering office. The 200-person project team soon scattered across the southeastern U.S. to find safety and places to stay.
Within two weeks of the hurricane, the staff regrouped at a temporary office established in Austin, Texas, the location of other corporate engineering staff. Temporary computers and software were acquired, although no documents, information, or data servers were available from the New Orleans office for about six to eight weeks. Design information was either uploaded when available or reconstructed when not. The project and office staff moved back to New Orleans in November 2005.
Remember What You've Learned
The Bull Run project was able to use a "Lessons Learned" database that incorporated information and data from prior TVA selective wet FGD systems. The Lessons Learned system includes the input of engineering specification change notices, change orders, and field information requests from all the TVA DCFS projects. Reviews were conducted by a Lessons Learned committee consisting of representatives from the engineering, procurement, construction, and start-up groups. The committee selects those items that will improve technical quality, save money, or shorten the project schedule and then communicates the results of those reviews to other wet FGD projects.
This sharing of information was very productive in terms of cost savings and schedule improvements. For example, one proposed project improvement that was developed from the Lessons Learned database concerned the fabrication and installation of the 126 piping laterals from the recycle headers to the absorber. For Bull Run, field verification and surveys were performed on each lateral prior to final shop fabrication. This process took into account construction tolerances and avoided costly field fit-up of each lateral.
Safety Always Comes First
The project developed, enhanced, and incorporated FGD program-specific safety procedures to achieve the safest possible work environment. Safety efforts included cooperation among TVA, Advatech, and the Tennessee Valley Trilateral Safety Alliance; the latter comprises TVA, TVA Partner Contractors, and the Tennessee Valley Trades and Labor Council.
The Bull Run project attained a recordable injury rate of 0.79 and a lost-time accident rate of 0.23 during a 3.5-year construction period with 1,767,852 man-hours expended. The project met all TVA safety goals and also had a period of more than 1,000,000 man-hours with no lost-time incidents, earning it a URS Washington Division President's award. In addition, there were no recordable incidents during the final 18 months of the project's peak construction period.
The team looked beyond the project at hand to ensure that work practices were as safe as feasible. During stack construction at Bull Run, a catastrophic fire occurred in a fiberglass stack liner on an FGD project at another utility. The project team initiated a safety stand-down to review procedures for the Bull Run fiberglass stack liner work and rewrote portions of them, as necessary, to further eliminate fire potential. No stack work resumed until all parties were satisfied with the new procedures and appropriate staff were retrained.
The project met all of TVA's design and construction requirements and was placed in service a month ahead of schedule and within budget. The original project schedule included a total of three months of float, although two of those months were consumed early in the project because of Hurricane Katrina. The project schedule was then reevaluated and updated to maintain the original project completion dates while only changing intermediate milestone dates. The use of overtime and supplemental staff from other offices also helped regain lost time.

MOSCOW, March 15 (RIA Novosti) - The telecommunications arm of Russia's energy giant Gazprom [RTS: GAZP] has signed contracts to provide satellite-based communications to clients in the Middle East, Gascom said Thursday.
Gascom signed the contracts to use the capacity of Yamal telecommunications satellites in the interests of Mideast clients during the largest annual Middle East cable and satellite show, Cabsat-2007, which was held in Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The contract with Denmark's Emperion, a leading provider of global satellite and wireless IP broadband solutions and services, requires Gascom's satellites provide access to the World Wide Web for users in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, the company said.
"The fantastic footprint and strong technical performance were key factors in our decision to use Yamal 202. Moreover we see great potential for new business under the Yamal footprint. We are planning to offer both DVB/SCPC and DVB/RCS services on the satellite during 2007 and look forward to expanding our relationship with Gascom," Emperion CEO Morten Hald said.
The U.S.-based EMC, a premier provider of global communications, will also use the Yamal-202 satellite more broadly and has arranged new communications channels from Germany to Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Eritrea on its basis, the company said.
Gascom was founded in 1992. Its shareholders are Gazprom, space corporation Energia and Gazprombank. Currently, Gazprom accounts for 17% of the use of Gascom's services. Government structures use 10%, corporate and commercial service providers 51%, and commercial television companies 22%.

Rep Peter King Continues Anti-Michael Jackson Rant Into Monday, Observes Reverent, Respectful Day of Silence Tuesday
by Zach Baron
Angry GOP Congressman Peter King is not backing down from his remarks, posted on YouTube over the weekend, alleging that the deceased pop star Michael Jackson was a "pervert" and a "low life" who "did some dancing" in between molesting kids. CBS 2 HD gave King an opportunity to fan his own flames, asking the congressman yesterday whether he regretted speaking ill of a dead man. Instead he launched into a further tirade about the "orgy of glorification" Jackson's been enjoying since he passed, adding:
"Yes, he
violate young boys. He did put them in terribly inappropriate positions. And that's a terrible signal to be sending out to society — that we're somehow condoning that behavior. And you are condoning it when you give him the type of — when we give him the type of regal coverage! And millions of people fighting to get to this mega-memorial! I mean, this is — this is wrong!"
Gracefully, King then added that although he was perfectly content to rant and rave about a dead man who was beloved by millions over the long weekend that preceded Jackson's memorial, he would nobly keep silent on the day itself: "I will not be speaking tomorrow, on the day of his memorial. I mean, here's a guy who had so much; in the end, he really had very little." So at least there's that. Meanwhile, Democrats are apparently already using the congressman's rant to raise money for as-yet-unchosen Democratic contender for King's House seat. May their campaign song be "They Don't Care About Us."

This weekend has been all about staying in. we watched Deadwood and The Outsiders and fell in love with the name Ponyboy. What do you think?? tonight we've been decorating the living room while listening to Malk de koijn and Beethoven.
▶ BB: the danish summer weather is all about sun and rain every five minutes.
▶ Lisen: It used to be that 9 months felt like a looooong time -but not any more!
oh the outsiders! i love that movie : ) ponyboy love love love:] the name ponyboy also reminds me of the movie the science of sleep, when she names the pony she makes ponyboy. if you haven't seen it you really should!
i do also think of "science of sleep"! lovley!
Hmmm, ponyboy... yes, why not? The movie is one I really like!
Ponyboy sounds very cute!! Maybe it could be a middle-name or second name..?
I love your new tiger-tights!!
ponyboy- Så må vi håbe det bliver en dreng :-) Det lydder ret cool..
Den ældre generation vil nok finde det lidt mærkeligt, men jeg siger "go for it"!
I love your blog and the pics!


In the first stage it will determine the optimal dose of a new treatment (a human monoclonal antibody in combination with an immune-oncological agent).
The second stage is evaluating the efficacy and safety of the drug combination administered in stage 1 as compared to the single-agents.
The study is ongoing but not recruiting any more – 61 patients are currently expected to participate.
The trial will be available in various cancer centres in the USA.
In phase I there will be one study arm (group), all patients will be assigned bevacizumab (Avastin™) in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda™, MK-3475).
All participants will receive bevacizumab and pembrolizumab intravenously in different dosages on day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Phase II: Once the right dosage is determined in the phase I trial, all patients will be given the combination of bevacizumab + pembolizumab intravenously on day 1 of each 21-day cycle.


If you're a CDP delegate, you'll need to hurry to download, print, sign, scan, and send the petition! That's Song on the left, Lara on the right.
There's a new entry in the race to replace the wonderful and widely respected Attorney General candidate Dave Jones as California's new Insurance Commissioner. Until recently, decent-but-not-Dave-Jones-level State Senator Ricardo Lara — whom we can safely call "the establishment candidate" and who (accordingly) has hired the SCREAMING ALL CAPS EMAIL HEADER SERVICE [not its real name] to send out his email blasts — has been the sole contender. Now comes a physician and single payer health insurance advocate, Dr. Paul Song, to challenge Lara for the position.
No one has to endorse Song (or Lara) for the position quite yet. The issue of this week is simply whether Dr. Song will be eligible for next month's California Democratic Party endorsement. If he is, and if he keeps Lara from getting the supermajority needed for an endorsement, then activists favoring either candidate can work for whomever they choose without running afoul of the State Party.
In other words, this is more about fairness and an equal playing field than about policy. This blog may come to favor Song over Lara, but it's safe to predict that even if Lara wins, Song's presence in the race will have pushed Lara to the left in the meantime — meaning that Lara would be more likely to come out for the sorts of strong (and powerful-special-interest-frustrating) consumer protections that have been produced by Dave Jones.

This may be the only example of this little-known Conner drive that I have ever seen. We didn't sell any of these new, and I don't recall ever seeing one come into the workshop. Pehaps another staff member extracted it from an old machine and put it to one side for my collection.
"The drive assembly housing consists of an extruded aluminum base on which is mounted a drawn aluminum cover. In addition, the aluminum cover has a designed in breather filter and diffusion tube that prevents entry of contaminants which might degrade head and media reliability. Aluminum tape seals the joint between the base and cover."
Notice the tape seal: these drives used nothing but tape to seal the head-disk asssembly — many other drives have used tape instead of a pressure gasket (notably the "Caviar" branded Western Digitals) but always as an adjunct to screws or nuts, not as the only fastener.
Conner was bought out by Seagate shortly after this drive was manufactured, and the various Conner drives still in production were phased out not too long afterwards — Seagate rebadged a few for a while, but only for as long as it took to switch the lines over to something faster and more modern. But Seagate kept the peculiar Conner tape-seal alloy casing and used it for a long series of entry-level drives running right through to about 1998.
Illustration: Conner CFS270A with some of the many drives that followed its lead. Clockwise from bottom left, 540MB Conner CFS541A rebadged as a Seagate ST3541A, a very battered-looking factory refurb 1.08GB Medalist 1082, 1.28GB Medalist 1276, 1.7GB Medalist 1700, 2.5GB Medalist 2532, and 2.1GB Medalist 4500.
None of us remember the CFS270A, and the one example that I have expired many years ago, but the factory figures tell us that it would have been very slow, especially given the weird 3400 RPM spindle.

God is "here" without being physically present at one place, and He is "there" without being absent from another place. "Where" doesn't apply to God-- He is "everywhere", without being physicaly here or physically there. What about the verse which says Allah is the fourth when there are three, and the sixth when there are five? 58:7 Have you not considered that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There is in no private conversation three but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing. The above verse was regarding secret counsels against the Prophet (sAahwaah) and the believers: Allah AWJ reminds men and warns them that their secrets are never a secret from Allah. Indeed, Allah encompasses all things. Physicality doesn't apply to God. When it is said that God is above (or over), it doesn't refer to a physical looming of one thing over another thing, subhaana Hu. Likewise, God being the third wouldn't mean His being physically present as the third. Nearness does not imply His physical presence and remoteness doesn't imply being farther from His reach. Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil aalameen la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Al-'Atheemu Al-Haleemu, la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbul 'arshil-'atheemi, la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbus-samaawaati wa Rabbul-ardhi wa Rabbul-'arshil-kareemi there is no god except Allah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no god except Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne; there is no god except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.

In my case, both (my relationships) began unintentionally-- one failed while Allah AWJ blessed the other. Yes, I do consider myself unbelievably lucky to have found the wonderful girl I am with, but I also accept that things are according to Allah's Will and not ours, so it could have been another failed relationship, and it can still be -- Allah Alone knows the future. As for dangers, I just pointed out that dangers exist in the virtual world as well as the real world -- nowhere is one "safe" from being "tested".

Guidance and straying is a matter between God and you. aakwrAllahwbHu In my case, the second time around, both of us got to know each other's ideas and inclinations extremely well before love cast its net on us. She is not a Muslim, and yet she is one of the few girls with whom I share any kind of rapport when it comes to God and religion. Would this have been possible in real life? I doubt, but Allah AWJ Alone knows His Ways. Alhamdulillah. I do believe that "stupid things," frauds, and infatuation have not been assigned to the domain of the world wide web alone.

No soul has authority over another. Guidance and straying is a matter between God and you. aakwrAllahwbHu JazakAllah for once again pointing out this shortcoming; I will try to be mindful henceforth, inshallah. :sl: Bayazid Bastami is one of the foremost mystics of Islam, and about him it is written in Kash al-Mahjub: He is the greatest of the Shaykhs in state and dignity, so that Junayd said: "Abu Yazid holds the same rank among us as Gabriel among the angels.†(Junayd = Junayd Baghdadi). One time Bayazid said, "Allah the Most Just called me into His Presence and said to me, 'O Bayazid how did you arrive in My Presence?' I replied, 'Through zuhd, by renouncing the world.' He said, 'The value of the lower world is like the wing of a mosquito. What kind of renunciation have you come with?' I said, 'O Allah, forgive me.' Then I said, 'O Allah, I came to you through tawakkul, by dependence on You.' Then He said, 'Did I ever betray the trust which I promised you?' I said, 'O Allah forgive me.' Then I said, 'O Allah, I came to you through You.' At that time Allah said, 'Now We accept you.'" This is, I believe, a mystical experience. He said, "I stood with the pious and I didn't find any progress with them. I stood with the warriors in the cause and I didn't find a single step of progress with them. I stood with those who pray excessively and those who fast excessively and I didn't make a footstep of progress. Then I said, 'O Allah, what is the way to You?' and Allah said, 'Leave yourself and come.'" The Prophet (sAahwaah) informed his companions that there will be such whose salaat and sawm will make their own (salaat and sawm) look insignificant, yet they would pass through Islam as an arrow passes through its prey. On the other hand, I have read that the lovers of Allah strive for their innermost state to be in accordance with their outermost state. Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil aalameen. la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Al-'Atheemu Al-Haleemu, la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbul 'arshil-'atheemi, la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbus-samaawaati wa Rabbul-ardhi wa Rabbul-'arshil-kareemi there is no god except Allah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no god except Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne; there is no god except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.

The Otavalos are an indigenous people native to the Andean mountains of Imbabura Province in northern Ecuador. The Otavalos also inhabit the city of Otavalo in that province. Commerce and handcrafts are among the principal economic activities of the Otavalos, who enjoy a higher standard of living than most indigenous groups in Ecuador and many mestizos of their area.

The Otavalo live in the high, cool altitudes of the Andes.  The city of Otavalo is located at an elevation of .

History

Prior to the incorporation of the Otavalo people into the Inca Empire in the late 15th or early 16th century, the region north of Quito near the border of present-day Colombia, an area  long by the same width, consisted of several small-scale chiefdoms including the Otavalo, Caranqui, Cayambe, and Cochasquí.  These chiefdoms appear to have been similar in artistic techniques, subsistence, settlement patterns, and language, probably all speaking Barbacoan languages.  The four chiefdoms collectively had an estimated pre-Inca population of 100,000 to 180,000.

The Otavalo and other Andean people of northern Ecuador are often identified with the pre-Columbian Cara people and Cara culture and as descendants of the semi-mythical Quitu culture, whence comes the name of the Ecuadorian capital of Quito.

The Otavalo area was densely populated.  The Otavalo people practiced irrigation agriculture and constructed camelones or Waru Waru raised fields to regulate the supply of water for crops.  Maize, potatoes and, at lower and warmer altitudes, coca and other tropical and sub-tropical crops were important products. Domesticated guinea pigs were an important source of animal protein, as was wild game such as deer. Prior to the Incas, the Otavalo apparently did not possess domesticated llamas and alpacas as did Andean peoples further south in Peru and Bolivia.

The brief period of Inca rule apparently did not change Otavalo culture much.  Contrary to Incan practice, few if any mitma (people forcibly resettled outside their homelands by the Incas) were moved into the Otavalo region. Also contrary to the Incas who used the vertical archipelago to exchange goods among regions, a class of long-range traders called mindaláes continued to operate among the Otavalo.  The mindaláes appear to have operated outside the authority of the chiefdoms.  They carried on trade with the people living in lower elevations on the western slopes of the Andes, especially in the Mira River valley, about  north of the city of Otavalo.  Products they brought to the highlands included cotton, coca, salt, and dried fish from the Pacific coast.

Spanish rule
The Spanish conquered the Inca Empire in the 1530s and Spanish settlement began. The Inca and Spanish conquests and the Spanish rule of the Otavalo and other nearby chiefdoms, plus recurrent epidemics of European diseases, had a profound impact on the population.  By 1582, the population of the northern Ecuador Andean region was estimated to have declined by 80 percent to an estimated 30,000. The Spanish put heavy demands on the Otavalo people for labor. One-fifth of the Otavalo were required to work, essentially as slave labor, for the Spanish, often in hot tropical climates to which they were not accustomed.  Vineyards owned by the Dominican Order of the Catholic church were characterized as "fields of blood" because of the Otavalo laborers who died working there.

Present day
Unlike many others the Otavalo survived as a distinct ethnic group, but sometime after the 16th century they lost their original language and henceforth spoke Kichwa, the Quechua dialect spoken in Ecuador, and Spanish.

In 1990, the number of Otavalo people was estimated at 45,000 to 50,000 in the Otavalo area with another 5,000 to 8,000 living elsewhere in Ecuador or other countries.

Economy
Most Otavalo are subsistence farmers who cultivate crops like potatoes but also raise livestock. Some work in the textile industry where many traditional Otavalo-styled textiles (woven with alpaca or llama wool) are exported to North America. A few Otavalo are businessmen or women who run some of these textile operations. Tourism is another significant source of revenue as these outsiders are attracted to the area because of the culture and local dress of the people.

Jefferson City Council candidates, from left, Jon Hensley, Jim Crabtree and Ashley Jones-Kaufman answer questions Wednesday during a candidate forum hosted by the News Tribune at City Hall.
Three candidates — Jon Hensley, Jim Crabtree and Ashley Jones-Kaufman — are running for one available seat in the April 3 municipal election to represent Ward 5 on the Jefferson City Council.
The News Tribune asked the following questions of the candidates, with responses limited to 150 words.
Candidates' responses are listed in the order the candidates will appear on the ballot.
Q. New construction and logging the riparian corridor around the Moreau River contribute to stormwater issues within the 5th Ward, particularly around the Green Meadow Drive area. Do you believe improved city planning could prevent the worsening of this situation in the future?
Jon Hensley: "All areas of town affected by Jefferson City's growing stormwater problem should be included in the discussion of ways to solve it. We need to listen to the challenges faced by our neighbors whose properties are being damaged and to the engineers who will design and lead the execution of the solutions. In addition to fixing the problems that exist today, we need to reassess how we predict and plan for the impact of new development and other activities."
Jim Crabtree: "Yes, education planning and design guidelines can and will improve impacts relating to stormwater. However, land clearance permits are administered by the Department of Natural Resources and not the city. However, maintaining vegetation along a riparian corridor decreases sedimentation and erosion. Erosion and sedimentation often obstructs stormwater structures and drainage ways resulting in increased flooding. Development within a drainage basin increases impervious surfaces and diminishes percolation. This obstacle can be offset with the use of retention basins that release stormwater flows at a controlled discharge rate simulating a pre-development condition. Preserving green space will also allow peculation and decrease runoff."
Ashley Jones-Kaufman: "Yes, I believe improved city planning could prevent the worsening of the floodwater situation in the future. The engineering division of Public Works is tasked with the administrative oversight and implementation of stormwater project. Stormwater-related tasks of the division include development/inspection of stormwater capital improvements, construction-related erosion control planning/inspection, stormwater complaint resolution, collection of stormwater-related GIS data, illicit discharge detection, post construction, and operational-related inspections as well as public education and outreach efforts. We should confer with the above individuals for possible solutions when it comes to stormwater."
Q. All three of you have promoted historic preservation as important to the city. Why do you believe historic preservation is important to this city? When it comes to historic preservation, how do you think we are doing as a city? What could we do better?
Jon Hensley: "The importance of effective and committed historic preservation efforts in Jefferson City are twofold. First, the proud and impressive legacy of Jefferson City is represented beautifully in so many buildings in our city's core, and we owe it to past and future generations alike to preserve and celebrate this history. Second, Jefferson City's historic structures and districts are major attractions for visitors and are important drivers of tourism and economic activity. I think we're moving in the right direction with addressing problem properties that have become dangerous eyesores over time, as well as ensuring that historically significant properties are not demolished without a thorough review. Hopefully the city can find a way to become a stronger, more active and intentional partner to neighborhoods seeking historic designations, particularly where the Housing Authority controls property within the subject area, rather than standing in the way of progress sought by neighborhood residents."
Jim Crabtree: "Historic preservation sustains the city's 'sense of place.' Our architecture and craftsmanship reflects the ethnicity and evolution of the social, cultural and economic components that formed the City of Jefferson. Essentially, the building structures reflect our history. The City of Jefferson has been successful in preserving the downtown core and is making excellent progress in Old Munichburg. The establishment of historic neighborhoods in strategic areas of the city would further preserve our architectural heritage and enhance our sense of place. This is important as sense of place is marketable and becomes an economic benefit."
Ashley Jones-Kaufman: "Historic preservation is important because it not only helps preserve Jefferson City's rich history but it also helps Jefferson City's economy. Recent studies show that historic preservation not only attracts tourists but has positive economic impacts by creating jobs and increasing property values. When it comes to historic preservation, the city has done a good job; however, with whatever we undertake there can always be improvements. An example of something that can be improved would be to make the application process to designate historic districts within our city less complicated."
Q. How would you like to promote diversity and inclusion in the city?
Jon Hensley: "I am thrilled about the return of the Human Relations Commission, and I think that the City Council, and the city at large, need to be supportive of the commission's work and open and receptive to its findings. As a community, we should pay attention to reports indicating that we are not performing as well as we could in this area. The City Council needs to clearly communicate to staff that when it comes to hiring, our city's workforce must represent the community it serves, requiring that recruitment methods are maximized in order to meet this expectation. Finally, at a personal level, each of us needs to look for opportunities to reach beyond our regular comfort zones and engage with neighbors with whom we haven't before."
Jim Crabtree: "Diversity and inclusion are critical in our community because they generate the best discussions, which in turn yields the best solutions based on many perspectives. Diverse thinking opens the doors for innovation and progress. I will not only recruit minorities, females, disabled, various generations, veterans and others who offer unique perspectives to serve on city boards and commissions, I will encourage existing leaders to use their connections to recommend diverse candidates to serve. During meetings, I will solicit input and unique ideas to resolve issues. Respectful discussion where people are encouraged to share all ideas promotes well thought-out solutions. I have experienced project teams, boards and commissions that were not as diverse and those that welcomed unique ideas. The groups that welcomed unique ideas always returned the best results. Those experiences provided me with invaluable insight that I will bring to the City Council."
Ashley Jones-Kaufman: "I understand diversity and inclusion is lacking in Jefferson City, and in order to promote diversity and inclusion we must first address the fact that diversity and inclusion is an issue. To promote diversity and inclusion in our city, I propose the following: start a conversation with the populations that feel neglected and implement positive changes suggested by that population. Offer diversity training to all city employees, contractors, the community at large. Make conscious efforts in hiring processes to employ people of different backgrounds and ethnicities, disseminate positive information and inclusive information on all written and virtual materials from the city."
Q. From reader Ed Williams: Do you believe it is ethical for council members to vote to give tax money to an organization, such as the Chamber of Commerce, when they are a member of the organization?
Jon Hensley: "When a member of the council may benefit personally from an action of the council, that member must abstain from that deliberation and vote. Membership in an organization that may benefit from a vote of the council, without some additional personal benefit, is generally not enough to trigger a conflict, though every situation must be considered on its own merits. For instance, if there was a chance that the benefit conferred upon the chamber by the council could pass through the chamber and benefit a business owned by a council member, then a conflict requiring recusal would likely exist. The fact-specific nature of these situations illustrates the importance of full transparency, working closely with the city counselor, and constantly being on the lookout for potential conflicts. The only potential conflicts I could anticipate at this point would be any vote affecting my employer, my wife's employer or property we own."
Jim Crabtree: "A conflict of interest exists when a person is engaged in multiple interests and the prospect of personal gain clouds judgment to the extent that the individual is not working for the benefit of all concerned. This is not the case where the chamber is working with the city to strengthen the local economy — a mutually beneficial goal. It is a bit misleading to say that the city gives taxpayers' dollars to the chamber. This is not a donation. The city (and Cole County government) hire the chamber to promote economic development. Without this arrangement, the local governments would have to pursue economic development on their own, which would result in uncoordinated, inefficient and likely less successful attempts to spur economic development. This relationship has been recognized in many communities for decades as local governments work with their chambers to sustain and grow their economies."
Ashley Jones-Kaufman: "No, I do not believe it is ethical for council members to vote to give tax money to an organization they are affiliated with because this could be seen as a conflict of interest/self-serving. I would have to recuse myself from any bill/issue related to energy as I work for Missouri Department of Economic Development — Division of Energy. There are no issues at this particular time that I am aware of that I would feel the need to abstain from."
The News Tribune hosted a 5th Ward council candidate forum on March 14, 2018. Video of the forum is archived on the City of Jefferson YouTube page at https://youtu.be/QIqhM55yO1g?t=1m58s.

New multi-wine tasting cellar to open in Farmville
Published August 29, 2016 by Paula C. Squires
The Virginia Tasting Cellar, a multi-winery tasting room, will celebrate a grand opening on Saturday, Sept.10 and Sunday, Sept. 11.
Located along the Appomattox River in a remodeled pre-Civil War stable, at 201 C Mill St., the tasting cellar will allow cellar guests to sample and purchase wine from a changing line-up of 12 wineries.
"There are almost 300 wineries making exceptional wines all over the state. Geographically, it is a challenge to visit multiple wineries in one day. There are hidden gems, at the end of country roads, that people may never have had a chance to taste. Our goal was to bring as many wineries, large and small, together under one roof, and create a unique experience for Virginia wine lovers," Michele Graziano, owner of the Virginia Tasting Cellar, said in a statement. Her partners in the venture are John Magin and Andrew Polster.
Graziano noted that Farmville already is home to Longwood University, Green Front Furniture and is rich in Civil War history. "We look forward to adding a Virginia wine destination to that list."
"We are so excited about this new opportunity for Virginia wines to reach a large and new audience," said Annette Boyd, director of the Virginia Wine Marketing Office.
Besides multiple tasting room counters, the tasting cellar will offer a covered patio outside overlooking the river. It has two fireplaces, wicker rockers, couches and table seating for more than 50 people.
During the grand opening weekend, the cellar will operate from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Participating wineries so far are Rosemont of Virginia Winery, Hunting Creek Vineyards, DuCard Vineyards, CrossKey Vineyards and Barboursville Vineyards with other wineries to be added before opening day.
Patrons pay $10 for an opportunity to taste 10 wines presented by winery representatives and tasting cellar staff.

Q: Using Fancybox 3 when "#" is already part of URL Fancybox 3 uses the hashtag to persist the current view in the URL:
http://example.com/sites/site1#gallery-1

However, this is too bad for a site where navigation already requires hashtags:
http://example.com/#/sites/site1

Fancybox 3 will replace this to
http://example.com/#gallery1

Is there a way to use both this navigation and Fancybox 3 at the same time?

A: It seems like Fancyapps anticipated this and added an option for it that works smoothly:
$.fancybox.defaults.hash = false;

A: Well, it is kinda impossible to have two hashes at the same time, therefore fancyBox replaces with gallery hash, but restores original after closing.
If this is causing trouble for you, then yes, disabling hash module would be best option.
btw, you can use gulp to build your own fancybox.js file without hash module; or  you can pass hash: false option to disable (from v3.1).
