Is it Black Friday 2019 already? Heck, it's not even Prime Day and yet a very rare sale that is only ever available during those two shopping extravaganzas just mysteriously reappeared on Amazon. If you head over to the Sonos website right now and buy a Playbar, you'll pay $699. If you head over to Amazon and buy a Sonos Playbar TV Soundbar, you'll also pay $699. The big difference, however, is that on Amazon you'll also get a free Sonos wall mount kit as well as a $50 Amazon gift card with your purchase. That effectively slashes the price of the Playbar to just $649, plus you get a free mount!
Of note, you can also buy a pair of Sonos Play:1 speakers and get a free $30 Amazon gift card.

The fourth Galaxy S10 phone — you know, the one with beastly specs that you couldn't order when the Galaxy S10 series went on sale a few weeks ago — is finally here.

TP-Link is one of the biggest names in home wireless networking, which obviously goes without saying. Since it's a top brand, though, the company's products are typically priced a bit higher than similar devices from lesser-known rivals. That's certainly not the case today for the TP-Link TL-WA855RE Wifi Range Extender, however. This is the company's best-selling range extender and it normally retails for $30. Considering it has more than 9,000 5-star ratings, that price is more than fair. Amazon is running a killer sale today though, and it slashes the price down to just $16.99. But if you clip the $2 coupon on the Amazon page before it's gone, you'll only pay an all-time low of $14.99!

Netflix just announced its May 2019 release schedule, and subscribers can look forward to the company adding some fantastic third-party content to its catalog next month. Among the highlights are two Austin Powers movies, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Scarface, Scream, Wedding Crashers, Zombieland, and all three movies from The Matrix trilogy. You can see each and every title Netflix plans to add to its catalog right here in our earlier coverage.
As is always the case, however, original content is the biggest draw for Netflix subscribers, not movies and shows from third-party studios. And in May 2019, Netflix is really cranking up the volume when it comes to original content. It's a good thing, too, because it might help distract from the fact that the prices of each of its streaming plans are increasing next month.
A whopping 62 different original shows, movies, and specials will be added to Netflix's ever-expanding content catalog in May, and we've stripped out all of the filler for you in this post so you can just see all of the originals set to debut next month. Things kick off right at the start of the month with the premiere of the documentary Knock Down The House, which follows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other young female politicians who sought to shake up the status quo in the 2018 Congressional elections. Two days later on May 3rd, 12 different Netflix originals will debut, including the first full season of Dead To Me, an offbeat dramedy starring Christina Applegate.
That's just the tip of the iceberg though, and you'll find the full schedule of May 2019 releases below. As always, we've included links where available so you can check out all the trailers on Netflix's site.

The occasional Netflix binge might seem like a harmless distraction to you and me, but the World Health Organization says those same personal standards should never be applied to babies and toddlers. In a new report, WHO insists that sedentary behavior in children up to five years of age puts them at a dramatically increased risk of developing habits links to obesity and all the nasty health effects that come with it.
Previous WHO guidance on "screen time" for children had already placed restrictions on the amount of sedentary time young children should spend watching TV and playing with gadgets like smartphones and tablets. These low-energy activities contribute to poor health, it's thought, and now the guidelines have become even more strict.

'I'm a Christian First and Republican Next': Vice President Pence Makes Campaign Stop in Atlanta
US official latest to comment on NBA owner's dismissal of Uyghur genocide
Omicron is taking a toll on pagans, who depend on conferences for community
As Americans gear up to cast their vote in less than 34 days, one thing is sure, Vice President Pence isn't taking anything for granted.
This week, Christian Headlines was given exclusive access to travel alongside Vice President Pence during his campaign stop in Atlanta on Wednesday.
As soon as his plane touches down at Dobbins Airforce base outside of Atlanta, Pence did a traditional meet-and-greet with statewide political officials, including Governor Kemp.
Without missing a beat, the caravan crisscrossed through Atlanta for the Vice President to attend a closed-door fundraiser lunch with the party's faithful.
The participants donated to what is looking to be a record-setting campaign fundraising season.
Pence did not let the grass grow under his feet at Saint Regis. Before long, the caravan crisscrossed again back into Cobb County, a suburb of Atlanta, to attend the Faith and Freedom rally. The rally was hosted by Ralph Reed, who seemed enthusiastic to have the Vice President in attendance.
The crowd was rumbling with excitement to hear from the Vice President. Mixed in the crowd was the who's who of the Evangelical Republican Movement, from Presidential Faith Advisor Paula White to the President's legal counsel, Jay Sekelow, to Pastor Jentzen Franklin. The ensemble of evangelical heavyweights have all shown up to hear from the Vice President. As soon as Reed introduces the Vice President, Pence makes it clear to the crowd that he is first and foremost a Christ-follower.
"I'm a Christian first and Republican next, in that order," the Vice President insisted.
Upon hearing these words, the crowd went wild. For a minute it seemed as if the crowd was transported to a country Baptist church. They were enthusiastic from the moment Pence said hello.
Pence goes on to share that he is in Atlanta to ask the audience for four more years in the White House. He has come to make the case for why the Trump Administration deserves a second term. Making a direct appeal to the crowd, Pence stated, "we have a President who has stood for faith and freedom."
He not only serves alongside the President but the two are lock and step with one another.
"The President took the case to the American people last night at the debate. He took the fight to Joe Biden," Pence added, though he didn't linger on the topic of the debate for long. Polls indicate that many Americans were unsatisfied with the debate performances.
However, Pence is hoping that the American people are satisfied with what the administration has been able to accomplish for evangelicals.
"We've stood up for those who serve," declared Pence who wanted the crowd to know that the Trump Administration is a law and order administration. "All of my heroes wear uniforms," he stated as he reassured the crowd that the administration has and will stand by law enforcement. "We stand behind the Blue Line," he added amid enthusiastic cheers.
Pence knows his crowd and appears at home with the group as he makes each point.
The President has appointed 230 Federal Judges and selected 2 Supreme Court Justices, with a third, Judge Amy Comey Barret, in the early stages of meeting US Senators. Pence was with Judge Barrett the day before his Atlanta visit and reminded his audience of how historical it is for a sitting President to appoint three Supreme Court Justices. He also built up Judge Barrett as a woman of faith. Barrett, a Catholic, was criticized by a US Senator during her Federal court Appointment as being dogmatic about her faith. At these words, the crowd booed. Pence aligned himself with Barrett by stating, "That same dogma lives inside of me also!" The crowd loved it.
Although Pence didn't appear to have a physical list, one can tell that he has the list memorized of the administration's accomplishments, including his deciding vote against Funding Planned Parenthood. "I couldn't be prouder to stand with a President who is pro-life," Pence asserted. He then compared the administration's record on abortion issues to that of Former Vice President Biden's pro-choice record.
Many in the crowd looked as though they could listen to Pence speak longer, but as his allotted time seemed to dwindle down, Pence briefly spoke about his role as the leader of the COVID-19 taskforce and highlighted the steps the administration took during the early days of the virus.
"By closing the border to China, the President bought us time and saved countless lives," the Vice President asserted before soon transitioning to the issue of education.
Pence shares that his wife Karen, who is a schoolteacher at a Christian School, is back in the classroom teaching. He encouraged the audience, insisting that the country will get through COVID-19.
Pence then wrapped his speech up on a high note, reminding his audience of the importance of faith in America and asserting once more why he believes the Trump administration needs four more years.
"This is a time of testing, the next 34 days to the election. We are coming to a time of choosing," he said.
He closed his time by quoting 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
The crowd joined in unison with his words. He emphasized the "heal their land" phrase in the Old Testament passage. This emphasis seemed to resonate with the crowd. Even Pence seemed moved as he thanked the crowd for praying for the president.
"The sweetest words we ever hear," he said, "is 'I'm praying for you.'"

A private company that has long flaunted its goal to mine the moon has finally revealed its secret plan.
On July 11, Moon Express rolled out its ambitious proposal to set up a lunar outpost and send three robotic spacecraft to the moon by 2020.
The Florida-based startup initially was formed in 2010 to win Google's $20 million Lunar XPRIZE competition, which will reward the first privately funded project to land a spacecraft on the moon and send back footage. While Moon Express believes it still has a shot at winning (Google's deadline for the lunar landing is December 2017), its current goal far exceeds taking a few videos.
It wants to take a piece.
Lunar Scout, the company's first mission and the vehicle that would be eligible for Google's $20 million prize, is slated to launch at the end of this year, according to Ars Technica. The robotic lander, referred to as MX-1E, will ride into space aboard an experimental rocket known as the Electron, which is manufactured by Rocket Lab and will lift off from New Zealand. The MX-1E is capable of hopping across the moon's surface and can deliver up to 66 pounds of payload.
The second mission, Lunar Outpost, is planned for 2019 and will aim to set up a research outpost at the moon's south pole. This lander will mine for minerals and ice inside craters that are permanently in darkness. NASA is particularly interested in this mission for the potential to turn water ice into rocket fuel. The lander will also mine for other minerals, like ore.
Finally, Harvest Moon is scheduled for a 2020 launch and will attempt to bring moon rocks back to Earth.
"We absolutely intend to make these samples available globally for scientific research and make them available to collectors as well," Bob Richards, one of the company's founders, told Ars Technica.
A few hurdles remain if the company plans on sticking to its extremely tight timeline. One is that Rocket Lab has only tested its Electron rocket once and while it reached space, it didn't reach orbit. Moon Express also didn't reveal any details of the technology that would actually mine the moon. It also has to complete the MX-1E lander, according to The Verge.
But should the plan succeed, Moon Express would likely be the first private company to land on the moon.

RWJ surgeon talks robotics at Roosevelt Care Center
Middlesex County Improvement Authority
On any given day, Dr. Leonard Y. Lee, deploys his hands and eyes into the complex interior of a patient's heart — at least virtually speaking.
Within the growing specialty of robotic surgery, Lee, a renowned physician and a chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, is considered an operating-room pioneer, advancing and perfecting the field's technological nuances.
Speaking to a room of esteemed physicians, case workers, nurses and other industry professionals, Lee will be at Roosevelt Care Center at Old Bridge, 1133 Marlboro Road, at 6 p.m. Nov. 3 to expand on his work, as well as the changing landscape of healthcare.

The hourlong presentation will primarily revolve around his instrument of choice: the daVinci XI robotic surgical system, a remote-controlled apparatus being used to treat patients suffering from heart-valve issues ranging from mitral-valve repair to aortic stenosis.
This cutting-edge technology provides Lee, as well as other physicians, access to the heart through the abdomen and chest, while at the same time better equipping its user with enhanced visual capabilities and increased instrument control.
"The minimally invasive technique allows surgeons to perform the necessary procedure without spreading or cracking the patient's ribs and significantly reduces the disruption and trauma to tissue surrounding the surgical area," Lee said in a recent internal hospital interview.
Wristed instruments, 3D-HD visualization, intuitive motion and an ergonomic design are just a few of the features that make the latest daVinci model a medical tool to be marveled, said Roosevelt Care Center at Old Bridge Administrator Alan Fialka.
"We're seeing a lot more patients with cardiac issues in our subacute wings," said Fialka, who invited medical professionals interested in the topic to the presentation. "So Dr. Lee's discussion couldn't be more relative to our operation here at Roosevelt."
Lee, who doubly holds the titles of Professor of Surgery and Interim Chair for the Department of Surgery at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, is largely considered one of the first in the state to master this state-of-the-art system, which is also being used in specialties such as urology, thoracic, colorectal, gynecology and more.
"This man is an innovator in his field and we are so fortunate and honored to host his presentation at our facility," said Middlesex County Freeholder Deputy Director Carol Bellante, a liaison to the Middlesex County Improvement Authority, the entity that oversees Roosevelt's daily operation. "We hope that Dr. Lee, his colleagues and guests will take a moment to tour our facility and see all the great strides we too are making here at Roosevelt Care Centers, in terms of both long-term and rehabilitative care."

Georgia's anti-graft efforts are said to have stalled.
By Iulian Ernst in Bucharest January 29, 2021
Transparency International this week pointed to Georgia as an example of how not to do things once you have earnt initial plaudits as a country moving ahead with anti-corruption efforts. "Georgia's anti-corruption reforms stall amid political crisis and allegations of state capture," was the headline on a blog post the Berlin-based NGO put out with its Corruption Perceptions Index 2020 (CPI 2020) released on January 28.
Georgia's score of 56 points in the index is unchanged from 2019, when it dropped by two points compared with 2018. In fact, its score has actually stagnated since 2016, after rallying for two years from 2014.
"In a country once celebrated as a reformer, anti-corruption efforts have visibly stagnated over nearly a past decade," TI Georgia stated in the blog post.
This statement needs some explanation since it might be seen to conflict with the data. Tracking the CPI scores reveals a sharp improvement over the initial years of the decade and stagnation thereafter—but, as it precisely reflects "perceptions" rather than fixed reality, the noted improvement might rather have reflected expectations ahead of the new regime that took office in 2012, when billionaire businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili was appointed as prime minister after the victory of the six-party Georgian Dream coalition.
The anti-corruption efforts of Georgian Dream more or less ceased after top officials of the previous regime, led by Ivanishvili's main rival Mikhael Saakashvili—self-exiled in Ukraine and wanted back home on multiple criminal charges that he decries as politically motivated—were convicted. Former PM Ivane Merabishvili, a leading ally of Saakashvili, was in February 2014 found guilty of public corruption charges and sentenced to five years in prison. That made him the most senior official yet to be convicted in a series of seemingly politically motivated prosecutions that followed the ascent of Georgian Dream.
More than 10 other ministers and senior officials in Saakashvili's former administration have faced similar prosecutions on an array of charges, something which supported the broad sentiment that anti-corruption moves per se were being pursued.
The stagnation period in anti-corruption efforts from 2016 to 2020 coincided with the second government of Georgian Dream.
"Georgia has not seen significant improvement in the ranking since 2012 when CPI scores became comparable year to year," TI Georgia also commented.
In 2012, Georgia placed 51st on the world ranking with a score of 52 points; in 2020 it ranked 45th with 56 points. Nonetheless, Transparency's statement is relevant in the sense that Georgia's position has deteriorated since 2016 when it ranked 44th, the best position the small nation has ever achieved.
When releasing CPI 2019, the watchdog highlighted state capture and undue influence over key institutions as the main challenges to political integrity in Georgia. "This year's results suggest that they have not been addressed," TI Georgia concluded in the blog post.
It added: "What's more, the 2020 National Integrity System Assessment found that Georgia's political system is characterised by an extremely high degree of concentration of power, as a single political group wields disproportionate control over all key public institutions. The same dominant group also often aspires to unduly influence non-state actors, including the media and the private sector. The most vocal civil society groups continue to come under attack through government-sponsored disinformation campaigns."
Concentrated power is undermining the government's accountability, TI Georgia contends, stating: "Undue partisan influence over the law enforcement agencies has rendered them effectively incapable of investigating cases of possible high-level corruption. This has undermined the public's trust in the law enforcement system: According to a 2020 survey, only 29 per cent of Georgians believe that cases of high-level corruption are investigated properly in Georgia, while 47 per cent think that they are not.
"Further, state capture has meant that the legislature and the judiciary do not properly exercise their oversight roles vis-a-vis the executive branch. Parliamentary oversight was especially limited during the state of emergency enacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
TI Georgia says that for Georgia to regain its lost anti-corruption momentum, a number of decisive steps are needed. The government, it sums up, should start by "supporting the proposal to establish an independent, multi-role anti-corruption agency that would fill the current void in terms of the enforcement of the country's anti-corruption laws."


It used to be that sites linking to yours couldn't harm you. Then along came Google's Penguin Update.
Now for many websites (and a lot of business models that involve selling 50,000 links for $10) the sky is falling. Websites that have built an unnatural looking backlink profile using a strategy of aggressive exact match anchor text usage are setting off Google's spam alarm.
So what now? Well, there's really no way around a good old-fashioned backlink audit. You can pay somebody to sort through them and identify the worst offenders, or you can do it yourself.
If you decide to go it alone, the first challenge is answering what are bad links? On the upside, they usually aren't too hard to find.
Now that Yahoo's Site Explorer has gone the way of Google supplemental results, if you want really good backlink data there's probably going to be a cost involved in even doing your own link excavation. A few tools offer some free info but require a payment for the really deep data.
If you've been hit by Google Penguin or an unnatural links penalty, you're gonna want to drill, baby, drill. The more backlinks you can evaluate the better.
All three of these tools will give you a really detailed, clear look at your backlinks and even anchor text distribution. The issue is you may also get different data from all three. They each have their own indexes and may report different backlink numbers. So while only using one tool may let a few links fall between the cracks, right now, using one or more of these tools may be your best shot at finding the backlinks you need to get rid of.
Once you get past the exploratory phase of digging through your backlinks and identifying the ones you want to get rid of, how do you get them taken down?
The answer is simple: It's not easy.
Now, I welcome anyone to weigh in on how they've managed to get backlinks removed, but in my experience, the only surefire way I know of to have backlinks taken down is to ask. Somebody put it up, so somebody needs to take it down, and that means reaching out and making the request.
Create a template email requesting link removal that you'll send to the webmasters in charge of the links identified as low quality. The template should candidly explain that you are an SEO or site owner trying to recover from a Google penalty and would he or she please remove the following links. List the URLs where the links can be found, the URL on your site they point to, the anchor text ─ all the info needed to easily find the link you're requesting removed.
She noted there are four possible outcomes. The website either removes the link and tells you, removes the link and doesn't tell you, doesn't reply or do anything, or responds by saying they will remove the link if you pay them.
During this process, Nussey suggested keeping detailed records of your efforts to remove links (she suggests compiling a spreadsheet with linking URL, contact name, contact email, date of link removal request, and response/action taken by the linking site), which you could then send to Google as part of a reconsideration request to show you've made the effort to remove every bad link aimed at your site.
And as though the idea of having to contact a bunch of people wasn't bad enough, in a lot of cases figuring out who to contact may prove to be your biggest hurdle. But don't worry, there are more than a few ways to skin this cat.
Go back to the company or freelancer you hired in the first place. If it wasn't you and it was your predecessor or a company you contracted with, then hunt down the original agreement. Follow the money backward if you have to.
If you purchased backlink services, whoever sold them to you should be your first contact. If you bought in bulk there's a decent possibility the process was automated and hopefully whatever easy method put you on 1,000 websites overnight, can also take you off. If they don't have an automated system, then they probably have a network of minions they can send the message to.
The point is, if you didn't get these backlinks yourself, start by reaching out to the person who did. Best case scenario: they may be able to turn what could be a long, drawn-out burden into a conversation with a single point of contact. If you can make it this simple, count yourself lucky and think very carefully about whose help you enlist for link acquisition in the future.
If you can't get them taken down as easily as they went up, then your next course of action may be to start trying to reach each site whose links you'd like to ditch. I know, it sounds awful and it probably will be.
The biggest challenge here, aside from the annoyance of having to send all of those link removal request emails, is to find people to receive them. You may have better luck finding contacts with some blogs, especially those selling paid reviews, or link space independently.
Although some people make it pretty easy for you to find them on the web, others make it more difficult.
For those who are intent on turning you into a cyber-Nancy Drew, there are a few tricks to hunting people down. However, in a lot of cases, there may not be an individual behind the blog or site your link is on because it's part of a large blog network. In that case, where you can't reach a real person for one site, you're going to have to go to the top. Fortunately, there a few tools to help you figure out which way is up.
Domaintools.com: If you want to find out who owns the site your link is on, visit domain tools or type "whois.sc" in front of a URL. Either way will get you to some very useful info. Now, this is another free-ish tool with the most useful and interesting info hiding behind a paid curtain. But without paying, you can often find names, email addresses and even companies associated with URLs. Provided they aren't hidden behind a private registration. Even if you can't get those details, you might find the name of the company that owns the domain as well as how many other domains they own and are associated with.
C-Class Checker: If you have a list of all the links you want to get rid of, you can run them through a bulk C-class checker to see how many of them are on the same C-class. It matters because if you have multiple sites hosted on the same C-class it may cut down the number of individual sites you have to contact. There's a good chance that websites on the same C-Class are connected through one main entity. So that means you only have to contact one person, or company, to try to get the links removed from that entire group of sites.
SpyonWeb: If you only have 1 URL to work with, this tool lets you find out what other domains they are associated with. Just put in a website URL, IP address or even the Google analytics or AdSense code and you can find all of the websites that are connected to it. Not only may you find a major websites with a person you can contact, you can see if any of your other links come from this network. If one site is really bad, chances are you can afford to lose all the links from the network it is in.
Social Media: Whether you're trying to reach the company that bought your links, a major site in a network or a website that is linking to you, if they have social media profiles, you can use them. I'd strongly advise reaching out to people quietly, and politely as your initial approach. However, if after a few friendly emails you still can't get results, go all social on them. Outcries on Facebook can get calls returned, and dissatisfied tweets can result in refunds.
Social attacks should be a last resort. In a lot of cases the kinds of sites where you find bad links, won't have social available. If they didn't take the time to write content with compete sentences, they probably didn't bother to make a Facebook page. So you'd most likely have to be looking for the company behind the network to even find someone to complain to.
Getting your links taken down may be as easy as it was placing the order for them, or it might be a miserable battle that eats up months of your life. If you do manage to lose the links that have caused you problems, then consider it a major win either way.
Remember the experience next time you're tempted to take a link deal that seems too good to be true. The clean up later on may be worse than just getting high quality links from the beginning.

Brandon attended AMTC's SHINE Convention when he was a talented 10-year-old. He could act, model, sing and dance and came away with callbacks and representation.
Brandon worked on and off for the next 6 years, training, making music, dancing, acting, growing his talents, until he was discovered (online) by a producer for Simon Cowell. At the time, they had put together a new boy group called "PRETTYMUCH." They had been in training for several months, when one boy was released. They auditioned for his replacement and Brandon won the spot.
Most people would have thought Brandon was a polished and seasoned 16-year-old performer. But Simon Cowell is not most people. He knew Brandon and the group's 4 other young men needed more knowledge, preparation, understanding of their audience– and how to best reach them. So they went into another 18 months of training before they started performing publicly as PRETTYMUCH.

Q: Sycn audio and video in html5 javascript I have two files one is video file with no volume and the other one is audio. So I'm running these two files in <audio> and <video> tags. I want that when both file are ready to play then the video play otherwise wait until both are not able to play. So, what I used for this.
canPlay is not working well for me because it can check only one of them at a time.
Thanks
UPDATE
  audio.addEventListener('canplay',function(){
    audio.play();
    video.play();
  });

  video.addEventListener('canplay',function(){
    audio.play();
    video.play();
  });

I try this but this is not working because whenever one of them is running it play both without care about other one, Because there is play() for both of them.

A: Listen for canplaythrough event of both the elements and if both can, trigger .play() on both the elements.

The canplaythrough event is fired when the user agent can play the media, and estimates that enough data has been loaded to play the media up to its end without having to stop for further buffering of content.

Try this:
var audioCan = false,
  videoCan = false;
audio.addEventListener('canplaythrough', function() {
  audioCan = true;
  playAll();
});

video.addEventListener('canplaythrough', function() {
  videoCan = true;
  playAll();
});

function playAll() {
  if (audioCan && videoCan) {
    audio.play();
    video.play();
  }
}

Edit: You can achieve the same using promise.
Try this:
var audioLoaded = new Promise(function(resolve) {
  audio.addEventListener('canplaythrough', function() {
    resolve();
  });
});
var videoLoaded = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  video.addEventListener('canplaythrough', function() {
    resolve();
  });
});

function playAll() {
  audio.play();
  video.play();
}
Promise.all([audioLoaded, videoLoaded]).then(playAll);

Baramulla, April 14 : Dr Pratibha Athavale, an Ahmedabad based dentist, representing the ASEEM Foundation, an NGO, had conducted dental camps, under the aegis of Kalapahar Brigade.
The Fourth dental camp was conducted at Braripura, a remote location, off the main axis from Mohura.
The "Zorawar RR Bn" helped in the conduct of the camp, held on 13th, 14th and 15th April.
The locals were informed of the camp in advance and the response was very good. Just after the end of second day's camp close to 100 patients were treated. The treatment included scaling, filling, extraction and other dental procedures.
At the end of the second day the locals of *Bijhama, Braripura, Katthal, Mukampiran and Mayan* villages were provided with the much needed dental treatment.
This is an ongoing effort by the Indian Army and the ASEEM Foundation to bring relief and smiles to the faces of locals by treating and educating them about dental care and hygiene.
During the second day of the dental camp a special interaction with locals was conducted where awareness related to dental hygiene was discussed. There was also a second interaction in which the topic of discussion was the use of sanitary pads.
This interaction was ment to educate young girls and ladies. There was a large participation during the second interaction as an educational awareness on a topic like this was done for the first time for the local villages.
The dental camp at Braripura was very well appreciated by the locals. They were very thankful to Dr Pratibha Athavale and Kalapahar Brigade for there effort.

The 'Family'
Operation 'Legacy'
'Honours and Awards'
Our 'Comrades'
Flammenwerfers
On the 1st September 1916, 8th Suffolk were still in training. Their efforts at Longueval on 19th July had resulted in the Brigade Commander 'recommending' them for a period of training in preparation for the next major offensive they were to be used in, which was planned for mid September.
Behind the lines, a pair of captured German flame throwers or "Flammenwerfers" were being demonstrated to the Battalion. These deadly instruments of war had first been felt by 11th Suffolk at La Boisselle on the first day of the offensive and they were now pretty much standard kit in most German units.
"The Flammenwerfers" wrote Sydney Fuller in his diary "were carried on the operators back, like a pack, and would throw a huge flame a distance of 15 to 20 yards for a short time. The only way to avoid the flame was to lie in the bottom of the trench - the flame could to be forced down to the bottom having a natural tendency to turn upwards, like a ordinary flame. These facts were demonstrated on the spot by playing the flames all over a trench in the bottom of which men were lying. They were unharmed."
It was a pretty rudimentary response to this deadly weapon, but like poisonous gas the year before, it was for the time being, the best method they had to meet its deadly force.
Welcome to our online 'blog' charting the history of the many Battalions of the Suffolk Regiment and the part they played in the Great War.

Bolt Parent Guide
This charming animation presents an insightful comparison between the fantasy realm of television and the truth of the real world.
Overall A

This painful truth becomes a problem when the pup accidentally gets separated from his co-star and owner Penny (voice of Miley Cyrus), and has to find his way home with only the help of a stray cat (voice of Susie Essman) and a ball-imprisoned hamster (voice of Mark Walton).

Parent Movie Review
by Kerry Bennett
It seems all it takes is a little sprinkling pixie (make that Pixar-style) dust to recreate the kind of movie magic that once oozed from the Disney animation department. This film's executive producer, John Lasseter, is one of the geniuses behind the Pixar hits Cars, Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. Now he's channeled his creative talents into the story of a dog named Bolt who has a difficult time distinguishing between reality and fiction.
Bolt (voice by John Travolta) lives inside a trailer plastered with pictures of him and his "person" Penny (voice by Miley Cyrus). Unbeknownst to him, the mobile home is parked on the set of a TV show. His daily attempts to keep Penny safe from the clutches of Dr. Calico (voice by Malcolm McDowell) are only staged so they can be secretly filmed for a television action series. His superpowers, including the ability to jump long distances, stop speeding cars with his head and avoid a barrage of bullets, are really the result of some technical maneuvering on behalf of the unseen production crew. But for all Bolt knows, he is a superhero. (For all young audience members may know, Bolt is also in real mortal danger during the action-packed, explosive opening scenes of this story.)
However, when Bolt escapes his artificial surroundings and is mistakenly shipped across the country, he is forced to face the rude realization that life hurts. Determined to get back to his "person", Bolt first has to come to the truth about his identity. That happens partly because of an alley cat named Mittens (voice by Susie Essman) he attempts to coerce into helping him find his way home. Somewhere during their continental voyage, he and Mittens also meet Rhino (voice by Mark Walton), a corpulent hamster who has spent way too much time caged up in front of the TV. Making his way around the world inside a plastic ball, the rotund rodent joins the expedition fully believing he is in the presence of a superhero.
Offering an engaging mix of adult and child-friendly humor, this cross-country road trip, though relatively predictable, introduces a whole new cast of enjoyably quirky characters. For parents (or teachers), Bolt also presents an insightful comparison between the fantasy realm of television and the truth of the real world that even grade school kids are likely to understand.
Moments of peril (including the depiction of a child and animal caught in a burning building), along with scenes of explosions, car chases, rocket-launching helicopters and other brief, violent interactions may give parents some reason to pause before taking their youngsters to see this film. Yet as Bolt sheds his television identity for that of a regular mutt, the transformation from superhero to real hero makes great family entertainment for almost all ages of dog lovers.
Directed by Byron Howard, Chris Williams. Starring John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Susie Essman, Mark Walton.. Running time: 96 minutes. Theatrical release November 21, 2008. Updated July 17, 2017

Rating & Content Info
Why is Bolt rated PG? Bolt is rated PG by the MPAA for some mild action and peril.
The opening scenes of the film provide plenty of explosive action as Penny and the technologically-altered Bolt are chased by cars, motorcycles and helicopters that launch missiles at the pair. Bolt uses his superpowers to stop a car and flips it over on its roof. Criminals kidnap a man and threaten to blow up a gas truck driving beside a school bus full of children. An army of soldiers (with electrified gloves) and combat vehicles attempt to surround Penny and Bolt before the dog disables them. Several soldiers are crushed and others appear to be dead. Motorcycles and helicopters also explode while in action. One character is electrocuted. Bolt threatens to drop a man in a car from a bridge. Outside of the studio, Bolt is nearly hit by a truck, falls in a hole, runs into a fence and hits a window while trying to pull off his superhero stunts. He also threatens to throw a cat into oncoming traffic. He and Mittens jump from a moving vehicle and later fall off of a speeding train. A man is sprayed in the face with pepper spray and another is hit with a flying object that causes a sign to fall on a truck and explode. A child and animal are caught in a burning building. Animals face rejection from their owners. Brief name calling and taunting are included in the script. A couple of very mild sexual comments are made.

The Beginning of West Carteret High School
As early as 1958, it became apparent that the local high schools were becoming much too crowded as a result of the growing population in Carteret County. This was especially true for Morehead City High School, which, at the time, consisted of approximately 500 students. As a result of the growing need, a school bond referendum was voted on which included, as one of its goals, money for a new Morehead City High School. Although the school administration pushed very hard for this referendum, not enough people were aware of the demand for new facilities for the students thus causing the referendum to fail.
In 1960-1961, the need for new school became county-wide. Programs offered in two of the high schools (Morehead and Newport) were very limited due to the lack of space and money. The county simply could not afford to build a new high school for each community and furnish each with the necessary equipment. Thus, the idea of consolidation began. A new high school, large enough to accommodate the entire west side of the county, seemed to be the solution to the crowded school problem. At the time, each school had a committee to student the problem; it did not take long for the two committees from Newport and Morehead City to get together to discuss the idea of consolidation.
In 1962, another school bond referendum went up for vote. By this time, people of the county had become aware of the growing need for new school facilities. The school bond was passed and preparation for a new high school began.
The first matter at hand was the site of the new school. Though a site had been chosen for the Morehead City High School, it was decided this site was not suitable because of the distance from Newport. A site was needed that was fairly equal distance from both schools. The two committees viewed different tracts of land, and decided on the area on which the school is now located.
The next issue to be decided upon was the school curriculum. Each school had some classes and activities which the other school did not. For instance, Newport did not have a football program; Morehead did. Newport had an agricultural program; Morehead did not. A combination of the two curriculums, along with a few new programs, was woven together to for the new high school curriculum.
Once the course selection was settled, the architects began planning the layout of the building. Using the ideas from schools all over the county, they designed the building to fit the needs of the classes offered. With this major segment of the planning completed and out of the way, the students could join in and help smooth out the remaining details.
It was left to the students to decide such things as the school mascot, colors, seal, motto, etc. The two groups met, and, by popular vote, decided that the school mascot would be The Patriot. The colors, as would seem fitting, were red, white, and blue. The artists of the group designed the seal and the motto.
The shape of the Crest of Arms is a battle shield. The crown denotes patriotism. The motto, Loyall Devoir, is the seal of Lord Carteret, Earl of Granville and means "Loyalty to Duty." Polaris, symbolic of the guiding star of knowledge quarters the inside of the shield. The symbol in each quarter of the crest represents a balanced education. The Grecian Lamp, whose light gives us understanding, denotes general education. The Atomic Symbol symbolizes science. The Lyre represents the fine arts. The Winged Foot of Mercury denotes physical fitness and fair play and is the symbol of our athletic program. The date, 1964, is the founding date of the school.
The original class ring portrayed the seal on one side, The Patriot of the other, and the name of the school encircling the stone, which was a synthetic ruby. Red was chosen as the ring's color by the first graduating class of West Carteret.

After almost six months of sweat, tears, and conscientious underwater gardening, our bay grasses, as part of the Chesapeake Bay foundation's Grasses for the Masses program, made a new and more appropriate home on a beautiful shore off the Rappahannock river, a small and seemingly untouched area of forest with the stillest water I've ever seen.
Our previous planting date was scheduled for Chickahominy Park but prior weekend's torrential downpour made it impossible to plant. Though I understood that I would have to be physically planting on the shore, I didn't realize how big of a deal flooding is until I was in the water myself. Instead of Chickahominy, we decided on the Port Royal planting – a historic yet small town north of Richmond in Caroline County, and a brand new site arranged by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for this year's planting.
In order for everything to remain alive and well for the hour-long road trip, we left a little water in the pans with wet paper towels on top and loaded the larger aquarium, the lamps, the water pump, and my bucket into the back of my car. After stopping for the obligatory road trip snack, we hit the road at 4 – the planting was expected to run from 5PM to 7PM, to ensure low tide.
Arriving at the planting almost had me thinking that we weren't in the right place. One of the final turns was into a small neighborhood, and eventually the road turned to gravel where there was a small dirt parking lot where we all had to meet. To our right was a house that looked like it was plucked out of 1804, on acres of land. To our right was the CBF set-up and the rest of the lovely grass growers, where we met up with Grassroots Coordinator Blair Blanchette, who you might recognize from the other updates. As growers kept trickling into the parking lot, Blanchette explained what the plan would be: return our equipment to designated bins and load our grasses into the back of a van that'll be drive down as far as possible to the shore, and that we'd be walking and following the truck through a mile-long path.
"This is the quietest planting group ever!" Blanchette would say a couple of times. This was one of the smaller plantings and seemed to be going rather smoothly. Other plantings this season weren't just larger but experienced some obstacles like heavy rain and field trip rescheduling.
The group of about 15 to 20 growers were donned in water shoes, hats, and sunglasses and all of us had traveled some distance. One grower traveled two hours to make the planting. I mean, I know people who don't have the energy to recycle, so we were clearly among people who really cared about service to the environment. I feel that like explained why they were all so friendly, if a bit quiet.
Blanchette reviewed with us the exact purpose behind going through these months taking care of our grasses every single day – after settling into routine, even I had forgotten exactly what the benefits were. Over the months what we really grew were habitats for underwater life, food for those critters, shoreline protection, a way of restoring the grasses that have declined through the years, as well as a way to mitigate climate change.
After reviewing basic safety procedures, we set off down the road and into the woods. The shore we were headed towards is part of the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge, which seemed successful at its job due to the large amount of bugs so weird and loud they sounded like they were playing the kazoo. The surrounding area was so peaceful and clean, we would have felt as if we were the first to explore this portion of the river if a path hadn't been cleared for us already.
Blanchette backed her van as close as she could down the path, but it was up to us to bring the rest of the stuff down to the actual shore. After the walk and carrying stuff down the hill in 90 degree weather, everyone was pretty eager to get into the water.
Blanchette gave out long bamboo sticks to each grower for two reasons: one was to push your bin of grasses down to the enclosure, and the other was to mark the spot where you planted so others wouldn't step on top of it. I could tell easily who were the experienced growers – one of them got a stick and hopped right into the water towards the enclosure, dragging her grasses alongside her.
Inspired by this confident grass grower, I hopped in and worked my way through the shallow water – it was about knee-deep but we had to crouch down to plant. We put our sticks down into a spot of our choosing, and following the lead of the experienced growers, I dug a hole around the stick with my hands. If you're not a huge fan of nature, I don't think this is something you'll enjoy, but you should do it anyway because you need to get over it and broaden your horizons.
Then, I double checked with Blanchette for the next step because it seemed a little weird.
"So I just put my hands right in the grass and pick it up and stick it in the water," I said, a little skeptical. Blanchette explained that yes, I was to stick my hands in the soil and would need to rip the roots, which was actually a good thing. Heavy root formation is indicative of good, healthy grass, even if it felt like I was committing a crime by pulling them apart. But I proudly kissed them goodbye and buried them in the quicksand-esque river sediment that was going to swallow me whole if I didn't get moving soon.
The last step was cleaning the pans and the larger container. If you remember, we had a swampy, smelly algae situation over the past couple months. It's sorta-kinda like never cleaning a fish aquarium. Our aquarium wouldn't be as bad as a fish's, but it was still home to soil and organic matter, which is not what we want to leave Blanchette with after she's been so helpful and excited. So we all put a little vinegar in the tubs, grabbed some steel wool, and scrubbed away.
The process was surprisingly quick and painless. The water wasn't cold, the people were kind, and being able to end the process in such a unique and hands-on way was such an exciting experience, save the quicksand-like texture of the bottom of the river that I was sure was going to take me.
Everyone left whenever they were done, so we ended up walking the mile back alone, admiring the open landscape and running from the kazoo-bugs.
Even if the process of maintaining the aquariums became a bit frustrating at times, particularly because it was in our office and not our own homes, the planting was a satisfying end to a very important project initiative from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Through the concerted effort of the CBF, the state of the bay has improved slowly but surely.
According to the CBF's health index, the Chesapeake currently gets a grade of C minus. This takes into account the state of pollution, habitat quality/quantity (our grasses), and fisheries. So while you might be stoked to get a C on an exam, it's very far from where the CBF says they want to be, and it'll never be what it once was hundreds of years ago.
But Grasses for the Masses is an extremely important part of improving the overall health of the Bay, and not the only way that you can participate. As you might've noticed, the presidential administration isn't too keen on environmental protection. Work from the CBF, volunteers, and just regular people who want to get involved, can help ensure that we don't actually go backwards.
Best case scenario, I hope you'll consider participating in Grasses for the Masses in the future if you have the ability to. There's nothing like physically planting grass to help drive home the value and importance of the effort of just one person.
The CBF has other programs and initiatives you can get involved in too. But if you don't do anything else, stop leaving your cigarette butts and beer cans all over Texas Beach and Belle Isle. Please. It makes me and the Earth cry real tears.
This weekend, activists from local environmental organizations will meet at the Governor's Mansion, calling on Gov.
