Simulative appraisal
By the time this article gets to the readers, early birds would have already gone to queue the polling stations. A lot will depend for whom they vote, how they exercise their right of choosing the next party and how much critical issues of national importance weigh upon their conscience? As in the past, a big chunk of the voters is likely to vote on the basis of clans, local arm twisting and petty bribery. These traditional patterns will be confined to less than 20 percent of the electorate. The other 80 percent will vote for issues and change; hence, my hypothesis that the results on May 11 will be a surprise and out-of-the-box. The sweeping mandate will defy pseudo intellectuals and pundits of doom, who predict a hung Parliament.
This article is based on the premise that elections 2013 will be affected by hitherto unknown statistical data that shall impact results. What remains of the legacy of 2008 elections is a voter leftover of 44,027,567 after the removal of 37,186,053 unverifiable or bogus votes. This means that only 54 percent votes of the 2008 figure in the 2013 list. If seen against the overall voter turnout in 2008 at 43.6 percent, it means that a total of 34,980,069 votes were cast, slightly less than the unverifiable votes. Assuming that at least 50 percent of the unverifiable votes were cast as rigging, the turnout drops to 16,387,042 votes or 20.18 percent. Therefore, one critical figure to assume the party positions in 2013 will be the voter turnout factor of 0.20. As long as the turnout remains close to 20 percent, the old political parties will excel through their fixed vote banks. As the turnout rises, the old horses will be edged out.
Based on the statistic that all parties bagged 16,387,042 votes, their percentages can be calculated as, PPP 30.79 percent (5,045,570), PML-N 26.81 percent (4,393,365), PML-Q 23.12 percent (3,788,684), MQM 7.43 percent (1,217,557), MMA 2.21 percent (362,153), ANP 2.03 percent (332,656) and Independents 11.16 percent (18,287,938) votes. In terms of seats in the National Assembly (without factorising the reserved seats), this translates to PPP 91, PML-N 69, PML-Q 38, MQM 19, MMA 7, ANP 10 and Independents 20. Add the additional 64,826,578 votes in 2013 to get a stunning forecast.
In addition, while evaluating this hypothesis, following factors must be considered.
First, the traditional vote bank of PPP, which is not likely to waiver, is around 5,045,570 voters, but this is a mere 6.25 percent of the total new rolls. Therefore, as the turnout rises beyond 20 percent, so will the odds against the party.
Second, the policies of PPP in the past five years and failure to affirmatively capitalise on the Bhutto legacy will impact negatively in Punjab and KPK. In Sindh, it is still likely to emerge as the majority force. The combined candidates of PPP-PML-Q will give a tough contest to PML-N and PTI, yet fail to offset the inherent handicaps. Their combine strength of 129 in 2008 has already taken a major dent.
Third, due to inability to conduct campaign under threats of terrorism, PPP vote bank in KPK and Punjab is most likely to shrink. Of the nine seats it won in KPK in 2008, it may retain few. This factor also applies to ANP and MQM. But the party more likely to suffer is ANP. These allies will have to pay the cost of aligning with a corrupt government that shred Pakistan to sinews.
Fourth, in 2008, PML-N won the major chunk of its National Assembly seats from Punjab. Including the bogus votes, its total share of the turnout in 2008 was 19.6 percent. Excluding bogus, if we assume that its traditional vote bank of 4,393,365 is still intact, it only translates to 5.44 percent of the current voter lists. In 2008, the party cashed the sympathy factor of Benazir Bhutto. It won 63 seats in Punjab and six from other provinces. Punjab with 147 seats in a tri-directional contest and will reach a saturation directly related to the surge in voter turnout. Quadrupling its vote bank to 20 percent means a monumental challenge of bagging 20,181,002 votes that translates into much beyond the figure it bagged in 2008. The party will also be limited by its comparative showing in areas other than Punjab. Given the neck to neck fight, this increase is improbable.
Another factor that impacts predictive analysis of 2013 is that PTI, JI and PKMAP boycotted the 2008 elections and their voters had either abstained or voted for other parties.
In a total of 81,213,620 votes in Elections 2013, NADRA added an additional 36,696,442 that were originally not part of the voter lists. Excluding the turnout of 2008, this calculates to 64,826,578 (79.82 percent). These are Pakistanis, who have not voted in the past.
Recent surveys indicate that PTI is edging ahead of PML-N its closest rival in predictive surveys. Assuming that it will be the major beneficiary of the exclusion of unverified votes and inclusion of additional votes, a close contest is predicted up to 20 percent turnout; anything beyond will be an exponential success for PTI.
If the turnout is in the range of 20 percent, the combine of PTI, JI and PKMAP will equalise the mainstream parties of 2008. This translates to 136 National Assembly seats excluding reserved. In order to predict realistic outcomes, limitations like the weaker position of the parties in different provinces must be placed. PTI has its major strengths in Punjab and KPK that have a total of 195 seats excluding reserved. Also, consider that JI and PKMAP are contesting on limited seats. Hence, it can be predicted that at the above turnout, PTI will win between 70-80 seats with 10 seats going to JI and PKMAP. The PML-N, PPP, PML-Q and ANP are likely to compete with 100-115 seats.
A 40 percent turnout will eclipse the 2008 verifiable turnout of 16,387,042 votes by 40,362,004 votes or 246 percent. Even if half these votes go to PTI, the results will be in the range of 130-150 seats for PTI in the Khyber and Punjab regions. Add an additional 4-5 seats in Sindh and Balochistan and PTI will be edging closer to a two thirds majority.
Take the turnout to 50 percent and an entirely unpredictable scenario emerges. The PTI gets into the driving seat with 150-180 seats out of a house of 272, but this will be its saturation point. The metaphorical tsunami would have reached its high point.
Whatever the results, PTI will ultimately end 30-40 seats short of whatever it wins because of the lack of homework in Sindh, Balochistan and non-Muslims.

Yahoo cancels earnings call as Verizon calls for a discount
Tags: #back-door #backdoor #breach #financial #insecurity #privacy #security
Companies: #government #verizon #yahoo
Following a disastrous data breach and claims that it had installed a back door into its email client for the US government, Yahoo has cancelled its earnings call.
Traditionally taking place immediately after a company publishes its quarterly and yearly financial reports, the earnings call is an opportunity for investors and press to ask questions and put the numbers in context. For most companies, even those publishing bad news, it's welcomed as an opportunity to spin the figures into a positive light and redirect attention onto more favourable areas. For Yahoo, though, it appears to be a minefield it's looking to avoid: tomorrow's financial report will not be followed by an earnings call, the company has confirmed.
Officially, the call's cancellation is the result of 'the pending transaction with Verizon,' in which the latter is discussing a deal to acquire Yahoo. Unofficially, however, it may have more to do with awkward questions the company would rather avoid: questions surrounding the recent data breach that saw personal information on around 500 million users stolen, or the claim earlier this month that Yahoo had inserted a wholly insecure back door into its email system to scan for US government-provided keywords - and without the knowledge of its chief information security officer.
For Verizon, the recent bad press appears to be souring its planned deal to acquire Yahoo. Although Verizon itself has been keeping silent sources speaking to the New York Post have suggested that the company could be asking for a $1 billion discount on the deal, more than a fifth of the originally-agreed $4.8 billion purchase price - and it's hard to see Verizon taking Yahoo's lack of confidence as indicated by the cancellation of the earnings call in a good light.

Shenandoah's Eclectic Scribblings: 12 Days of Pioneer Christmas, Day 6: my own novella, Defending Truth!
12 Days of Pioneer Christmas, Day 6: my own novella, Defending Truth!
And look what I held in my hands for the first time this week!
This is my debut as a published author--Anna's as well. I've already shared the story of how I got my first contract, at last year's ACFW conference, and during the past week I've been amazed at the fulfillment of hope from a year ago. Other hopes fill my heart now, as I face attending ACFW again in just three weeks. What does God have for me this time?
I discovered a rather crucial typo just two days before receiving my first copies of the book. The Battle of Kings Mountain actually takes place in October 1780, not 1781 as the book says. Argh! How did this happen? It's right there, in the galley, in my own drafts, in the original proposal, for crying out loud ... and I never noticed. All I can figure is that I was so deep in finishing my full-length historical, which finishes up in September 1781, that I typed that year without thinking.
Three female characters in the collection, across three different novellas, share the name Milly. :-) One is Truth's aunt, named after the real-life Milly (Millicent) Bledsoe, married to the real-life Loving Bledsoe.
Truth's four younger siblings are loosely modeled after my own four younger children. Three of those read Defending Truth before I turned it in to my editor.
Any other questions? If I haven't answered them here or in the Pioneer Christmas interview, feel free to ask! And don't forget to enter the giveaway for a copy, signed by all nine of us. Anna is giving away a copy as well, so you can enter over on her site for even more chances to win!
A Pioneer Christmas Collection Release!!
Hi Shannon, Big congrats from Rose who got my first contract from Barbour at the ACFW conference in Indy in 2010. Enjoy the ride!
Congratulations! I look forward to reading Defending Truth1, and more in the Pioneer Christmas Collection!
And thank you, Kimberli! I couldn't have done this without you. Hugs!!
I am looking forward to reading the stories in the Pioneer Christmas Collection.
I am so looking forward to reading the novella collection! I love ones that are Christmas themed!

How India's Rape-Survivors End Up Marrying Their Rapists
POORVI GUPTA
25 Aug 2020 7 min read Share
Rapes leading to marriage between perpetrator and survivor are not legally recognised. Such unions—backed by police, courts, panchayats and parents—are often a ploy for convicted or accused rapists to evade punishment and are more common than you think.
ILLUSTRATION BY SRISHTI SHARMA/FEMINISM IN INDIA.
New Delhi: On 16 June 2020, convicted rapist and Kerala ex-priest Robin Vadakkumchery sought a two-month bail from the Kerala High Court to marry the girl he had raped and impregnated when she was 16.
The 52-year-old former clergyman offered to marry the survivor now that she is of legal age "to ensure the welfare of the child", he said in his bail petition. The girl, now 20, and her parents reportedly agreed to the marriage.
Vadakkumchery's plea, pending in the High Court, is not without precedent. Rape survivors are often coerced into marriage with their rapists across India, and this occurs with the support of law-enforcement agencies, panchayats and parents.
On 24 July, the Orissa High Court granted bail to a rape accused, arrested under a Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) case, for marrying the girl he had raped, now that was an adult. They married in June, when the accused was released on an interim 30-day bail.
In another case, village elders and a 14-year-old rape survivor's parents in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, married the girl to the man who allegedly raped her and impregnated her in 2017. The girl's parents are daily wage workers, according to media reports, and could not afford to take care of her and her child. Their requests of financial aid from the local administration were ignored.
How Rapes Cases End In Marriage
There are several circumstances where rape survivors end up marrying the men who raped them, said Geeta Ramaseshan, senior lawyer of the Madras High Court.
In the first, a couple is involved in a consensual relationship. But because they are of different castes or the parents do not accept the relationship, they accuse the man of rape, particularly when the daughter is a minor.
"During the course of the trial, the man agrees to marry her," said Ramaseshan. There could be an element of consensual sex with a promise of marriage. The girl agrees that she wanted marriage."
Then, there are rape cases under the controversial "false promise to marry" category, where perpetrators convince the survivors to have sex with them by promising to marry them, a promise they do not honour.
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data from 2018 records 12,568 such reported rape cases. In 2017, it registered 10,553 cases under the 'known persons on promise to marry the victim' rape cases.
In 2013, data journalist Rukmini Shrinivasan examined 460 cases under trial in New Delhi's district courts. Of these, 109 cases were filed under 'false promise to marry' and only 12 cases resulted in conviction out of all the 460 cases.
Shrinivasan's study also found that more than a third cases of rape were those in which young people had engaged in consensual sex outside of marriage. These cases had been filed by the parents of minor daughters.
"Police are reluctant to file a first information report (FIR) in such cases but now the Supreme Court guidelines and legislation are so stringent that the police have to comply and register the case," said Ravi Kant, president of the NGO Shakti Vahini.
The accused then "goes to jail for three-four months after which a settlement happens and the survivor flips her statement in court, said Ravi Kant, explaining that many "false promise to marry" cases and live-in cases, reach either a monetary settlement or a marriage and it reflects on the legal system.
But it is a third category of rape cases where pressure to marry the rapist is both insidious and outside the purview of law.
A judge might feel that the best solution to a rape case, particularly one that results in an unwanted pregnancy, is marriage. Judges get swayed by arguments of stigma.
"What will happen to the woman? Who will take care of her?" said Ramaseshan. "These stigmas are strengthened if a child is born due to rape. In such cases when the man offers to marry her or agrees to marry her because the judge has asked, it is only to escape the punishment."
But, she noted, "rape is not an offence that can be settled and such offers from courts are clearly not sustainable".
Worse, when such a practice is adopted in one case, there is danger of it becoming a norm in other cases, said Suman Chakravarti, the public prosecutor in the Vadakkumchery rape case.
The marry-your-rapist-to-get-out-of-jail-free card is not recognised under any law. Yet, it continues formally within courts and informally within families and village councils. In many cases marriage is a rescue ploy for convicted or accused rapists to evade punishment. "A court of law cannot be a part of such settlements," said Chakravarti.
Marriage As A Solution To 'Lost Honour'
In a false-promise-to marry rape case under trial in a Delhi court, a 23-year-old woman accused a man of raping her on the pretext of marrying her in 2017. She was only 19 then.
The woman told Article 14 that she immediately called the women's helpline and Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) helpline to file a complaint against the accused. "When I went to the police station to register a complaint against him, he told the police officials that he will marry me in two years." she said.
"He started to cry in front of the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) then she asked me what I wanted, to which I said I want justice. She then told me if I wanted to live respectfully in the society then I must marry him. So I agreed and didn't file the complaint," she said. "I was very strong at that time and I was also willing to fight the case but he and his family forced me, threatened to beat my parents if I didn't agree to marry him."
They finally got married in June 2019. But after two months of marriage, the man left the survivor telling her he had only married her to escape rape charges, she said. The woman is now fighting a case under section 498A (cruelty by husband or his family members) of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
"Only know how I live with this stain on mine and my family's honour," said the survivor. "All my relatives and neighbours know that I was raped by my husband. I am only living for my parents who support me fully otherwise I have no motivation to live when I know that I have to fight everyday to get justice."
Very often, village panchayats also push for marriage following a rape.
"Village elders and the relatives of the rape survivor pressurize her to marry her perpetrator," said Ravi Kant. "This is inhuman and unacceptable. The government should generate awareness on this issue because this scenario often plays out on the ground level and such cases reach settlement without the intervention of the law."
The government should also frame legislation in this regard which will make such marriages illegal, he said.
Patriarchal societies stigmatise rape to the extent that a woman loses her 'honour' and purpose of life if she is raped. Even the courts are not immune to the idea of the 'fallen' rape survivor (see Article 14's Courts' Misogynistic Rules For Rape Survivors) and fall into stereotypes of the 'hapless rape victim' when passing judgments.
"It becomes a matter of shame for the woman when the neighbourhood and her relatives find out she has been raped," said lawyer Seema Sammridhi. "In our society, people continue to have such regressive thoughts that a woman who has been raped is 'impure'. Such backward ideas leave women with no choice but to accept her rapist as her husband," she said.
In rural areas especially, the stigma of rape only harms the survivor's life as members of the panchayat downplay the heinous crime of rape as just a 'mistake' done by the man. Hence they believe that the appropriate "punishment" for him would be to take care of the survivor by marrying her.
"There is no assistance in rehabilitating rape survivors from the government so that they can have better agency over themselves," said Mariam Dhwale, general secretary at the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA).
"It doesn't matter if the survivor marries her rapist because her life anyway gets distorted. What's the guarantee of security in such a case when the survivor is forced to marry a criminal? Does the court even have any mechanism to check whether the survivor is leading a good life or not?"
While rape crimes and false-promise-to-marry cases are majorly the crimes where marriages between the rape survivor and her rapist to defend them from punishment is common, a similar phenomenon has also been seen in an acid attack case. In 2018, the Bombay High Court freed an acid attacker who was sentenced to life imprisonment after he married the woman he threw acid on. The attacker had spent eight years in jail after which he was set free by the court.
Safeguarding The Rights Of The Survivor
The 'advise' of police and courts to rape survivors to marry their rapists, must be documented and recorded in court, said Ramaseshan.
"The judge will have to ask her whether the settlement is of her own will. I have seen judges ask this of the survivor in their chambers with no one else present. Women in a few instances have told the court that they are not willing but are being compelled by their families," she said.
Another solution is to increase training sessions on gender, patriarchy and caste tensions. "Many judges and police are aware of these issues but choose to ignore it. During one training for police inspectors, when I raised this issue I was told that if such marriages do not take place, there will be caste riots in the area. Such tensions and complexities must be addressed," said Ramaseshan.
Oversight is perhaps the most important aspect of protecting rape survivors. "Human rights lawyers and NGOs working on women's rights must follow up the case at all stages to see that there is no injustice," added Ramaseshan.
Amending rape law to ban all such 'settlements in rape cases is not a viable option, said Chakravarti. "The survivor is always free to marry any person, including the accused," he said. "It depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. However, such marriage cannot be used against the prosecution."
"The prosecution for rape is for the offence committed which the accused will have to face at any rate," said Chakravarti. "By contracting into a marriage with the survivor, one should not get the impression that he can escape for good."
But in several cases like the Odisha rape case, bail was granted conditional to the marriage between the survivor and the accused rapist. India may have strict rape laws and the POCSO Act, which may prescribe death as punishment for rape, but the conviction rate is 27.2%, according to the 2018 NCRB report mentioned earlier, because of such settlements and compromise.

So I decided to get that taken care of. It took me a long, long time to pick out images!
In the end, I cancelled that subscription but decided that using credits isn't going to be economically sound if I publish as much as I want to this year (if!), and I chose to buy their much more robust 150 images a month subscription instead.
Yes, it's quite a bit more money. But 150(!) images a month, and I can download all in one day if I want (some stock sites won't let you do that, instead imposing a daily download limit in addition to the monthly limit), and that means I don't have to be so picky with images—the new subscription knocks the cost down to less than $1 each. With credits (or through the subscription I've been using for the last two months), those same images cost me about $8 each.
I didn't end up getting any writing done today, and I've had to remind myself: the schedule is a suggestion, not a rule. My ultimate goal is 28 hours a week of timed writing and 22,630 words. I can have days where I just have to do other things.

The bankruptcy discharge is one of the most broad and powerful provisions in U.S. law. Discharged debts cannot ever be collected from the debtor. However, there are limits to the bankruptcy discharge and it is only meant to help honest debtors. The federal bankruptcy code excepts certain "bad actor" debts from discharge, like criminal fines, debts from willful and malicious conduct, debts from drunk driving, etc.
The bankruptcy code does not automatically except a debt for "willful and malicious injury" from the order of discharge. Instead, a creditor has a duty to affirmatively object to the discharge of the debt. If the creditor fails to file a timely objection, the debt is included in the discharge and the creditor may not collect from the debtor.
If you have caused a willful injury to another person and need financial help, speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney. Your attorney can explain your legal rights and discuss your bankruptcy options. The bankruptcy code is flexible to permit repayment, discharge, or time to restructure your finances.

Alan Shearer is backing Lewis Ritson to go all the way to the top – and the Newcastle United legend hopes the Lightweight sensation follows his path and packs St. James' Park for a big fight night.
A star-struck Toon Army mad Ritson met the number nine idol in the build up to his European title clash with Francesco Patera on Saturday night (October 13) and the 'Sandman' has sold the Metro Radio Arena out after packing it to the rafters for the first time in June when he destroyed Paul Hyland Jr in a round to win the British title outright.
Gallowgate favourite Shearer knows all about the fanatical support in Newcastle after banging in 206 goals in ten seasons for his boyhood club, and he believes that the fans will soon be roaring him to World title honours on the hallowed turf.
"This will be my first ever fight that I'm attending so there's no pressure for Lewis!" said Shearer.
"The fans are incredible up in Newcastle. If he keeps on winning then a fight a St James' Park could happen as Lewis dreams of.
"That buzz when you walk out at St. James' is special. I never really used to hear the singing on the pitch during the game, when you walked out the atmosphere was loud and that's when I used to soak it all in but when that whistle went it was game time and I was zoned in.
"I used to stand on the terraces as a fan so to walk out and score in front of your own people is that bit more special. That's the same for Lewis, but he's knocking people out!
Shearer and Ritson have a common thread having both played for famed kids' team Wallsend Boys as kids, and the hitman-turned-pundit thinks the club has played a part in his success – and along with his close bond with his trainer father, could help him stay at the top when he's there.
"When I was a young boy playing at Wallsend Boys club it taught me a lot. Lewis played there as well and some of that discipline will have no doubt rubbed off on to his game.
"Having his Dad standing there in the corner for each fight must be a proud feeling for the both of them.
"What I would say to Lewis is the easy part is getting to the top, but the hard part is staying there. He'll have the money, house, holidays and car. The opponents will know more about him and the level is only going to get tougher. It's not easy and he'll have to probably come through some tricky moments but he's got a great team around him.
Ritson vs. Patera tops a huge night of action in Newcastle as rising Light-Heavyweight star Joshua Buatsi makes the first defence of his WBA International belt against Frenchman Tony Averlant, Liverpool's Robbie Davies Jnr faces Sunderland's Glenn Foot for the British and Commonwealth Super-Lightweight titles, Doncaster Heavyweight David Allen is gunning for another huge KO when he takes on Samir Nebo and Cruiserweights Simon Vallily and Craig Glover meet over ten rounds.
There's action elsewhere on the card from IBF European Super-Bantamweight Champion Thomas Patrick Ward, fast-rising Liverpool Welterweight Anthony Fowler, Newcastle Cruiserweight Lawrence Osueke, popular Benwell Super-Welterweight Joseph Laws, Spennymoor Welterweight Chad Ellis, Manchester Light-Heavyweight Hosea Burton, Newcastle Super-Lightweight Terry Wilkinson, Bedlington Lightweight Darren Reay and the professional debut of Scottish Super-Middleweight talent John Docherty.
David Allen says he needs to beat Samir Nebo in "devastating fashion" if he is to set up a showdown with former WBA Heavyweight ruler Lucas Browne at the end of the year.
'White Rhino' returns to action this Saturday at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US, as he takes on the Germany-based Syrian on the undercard of Lewis Ritson's European title fight against Francesco Patera.
Nebo has only two losses in 13 fights, with all of his wins coming by knockout, but Doncaster's Allen is confident he can defeat Nebo in a similar style to his brutal stoppage of Nick Webb at The O2 in July.
"I'm going to get Nebo on the hook, and I'm going to smash him," said Allen. "I will never win another fight on points. None of them will go the distance ever again. I fully anticipate knocking out Samir Nebo inside four rounds.
Allen is eager to take on Australia's Browne in December if he gets a win in Newcastle and believes a fight with the former World Champion would be another entertaining encounter for his fans.
The potential match-up has been gaining momentum on social media in recent weeks with the pair calling each other out on Twitter.
"He's old enough to be my dad, but Lucas Browne is a tough, strong, powerful man. I think if the fight happens next, it will be at the right time for me. I'm young, fresh, and I'm coming through.
Ritson vs. Patera tops a huge night of action in Newcastle as rising Light-Heavyweight star Joshua Buatsi makes the first defence of his WBA International belt against Frenchman Tony Averlant, Liverpool's Robbie Davies Jnr faces Sunderland's Glenn Foot for the British and Commonwealth Super-Lightweight titles and Cruiserweights Simon Vallily and Craig Glover meet over ten rounds.

"Good afternoon everyone and thanks for coming along to the press conference to announce our second Newcastle show, October 13 at the arena, following a wonderful experience last time out when Lewis Ritson won the British title outright. This press conference will be streamed live around the World on our social channels, it's nice and busy in here today so make sure you make loads of noise for the fighters and show everyone what a great city this is.
"Before we talk to the guys, I just want to say thank you, not just for coming today, but for what you created last time out at the arena. We do shows all over the World but you can't ignore or fail to embrace the passion when you go to certain places. Last time out when Lewis Ritson ring-walked it was unexpected. We knew he sold a load of tickets but what happened during that ring-walk, what happened during those ring announcements, what happened during the performance and after it was something that you rarely see. It's like the emergence of a new powerhouse for British boxing in the North East and Newcastle. I will honestly never forget that experience and I don't think Lewis will either.
"Now the journey really gets interesting. You go from British title level onto European title level, in the hope to achieve a World title opportunity. We know where we're at, the feet are on the ground and there's a long way to go. With you lot behind him, he has every opportunity. He's going to get the opportunities for big fights, this is a whole new level to where he has operated before.
"I just want to thank everyone for coming out for the press conference, it is a great turnout. I can't wait to get in there again. I've already been training hard for weeks now. I'm ready to do some business.
"It was Tatli, Petit or Patera and me and my dad sat down and we didn't think there was much between the three of them. I think they are all pretty similar so it doesn't matter who we get in with, we always say yes. We've got our opponent and we're ready to go.
"We're expecting to be in for the long haul on the night, that's what we train for. We'll be ready for everything on the night. The atmosphere was very special last time out, the support we get is brilliant, this time the atmosphere will be bigger and better.
"Thank you Eddie for having me here, I am very excited. I was very happy when I got the offer to fight Lewis. I saw Lewis from one year ago and I always thought 'I want to fight this guy'. I know I have the ability to beat him. He is a really tough fighter, he comes forward, I'm a hard worker too and it will be a great fight on October 13.
"I'd like to thank Eddie for getting me back on the shows, I started to think that it was never going to happen. This really is a pick'em fight. You've got Glenn's aggression and physical strength against my speed and power. I've got everyone down in my neck of the woods backing me. It really is going to be one of them fights where neither of us will need to go looking for each-other.
"I'm very excited. It's a brilliant show. I'm really looking forward to Davies Jr vs. Foot. I've boxed in Newcastle before twice. We'll hopefully have a good opponent for October 13. I'm really excited to be in Newcastle.
Lewis Ritson will face Francesco Patera for the Vacant EBU European Lightweight title at Metro Radio Arena Newcastle on October 13, live on Sky Sports.
'The Sandman' won the British Lightweight title outright by defeating the previously unbeaten challenger Paul Hyland Jr at the Metro Radio Arena in June and is predicting another destructive performance against Patera in October.
Patera is no stranger to fighting on these shores, having lost a close decision to Birkenhead hardman Sean 'Masher' Dodd for the WBC International title in 2016. He went on to beat Finland's Edis Tatli to win the European title in May 2017 before losing out in a rematch later that year.
Ritson gets his shot at European honours after Tatli decided to vacate his belt.
"I've dealt with all the top operators at domestic level and now it's time to announce myself on the European stage," said Ritson. "I'm feeling unstoppable right now and I'm ready to take on anyone that gets put in front of me. The Metro Radio Arena is my fortress and nobody is beating me in my backyard. The noise my fans make inside the arena is incredible, it's like there's two of me in the ring!
"Patera has held the European belt so we know that he poses a real threat and I'll have to be at my best to get past him. I've been told there's not much between Patera and Tatli in terms of ability and style. Patera looks big at the weight and is a busy fighter, I'm expecting an exciting fight.
"I was completely blown away with what I saw both in and out of the ring last time we were in Newcastle," said promoter Eddie Hearn. "Lewis Ritson has fast become one of the most popular and exciting fighters in British boxing and now he gets an opportunity to challenge for a European title. He has cleared up domestically and this is the next step.
Ritson vs. Patera tops a huge night of action in Newcastle as rising Light-Heavyweight star Joshua Buatsi makes the first defence of his WBA International belt that he won at The O2 in July, Liverpool's Robbie Davies Jnr faces Sunderland's Glenn Foot for the British and Commonwealth Super-Lightweight titles, Heavyweight fan favourite David Allen returns after his 'life-changing' win over Nick Webb and Cruiserweights Simon Vallily and Craig Glover meet over ten rounds.
There's action elsewhere on the card from IBF European Super-Bantamweight Champion Thomas Patrick Ward, Newcastle Cruiserweight Lawrence Osueke and Benwell Super-Welterweight Joseph Laws.

Ricky Burns laces them up for the 50th time on Saturday night at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, live on Sky Sports – and the Scottish boxing hero says that there are plenty more great nights left in the tank.
Burns created history by becoming Scotland's first three-weight World champion in May 2016 when he added Super-Lightweight glory to his Super-Featherweight and Lightweight titles by stopping Michele Di Rocco for the WBA title in Glasgow.
The 'Rickster' still harbours dreams of fighting for World titles again and as he prepares to fight in the North East, a rematch with Anthony Crolla is top of a list of fights he wants as he writes new chapters in his fantastic journey.
"The Ricky Burns story is not finished just yet," said Burns. "I've got no regrets in my career, I've lived it. I'm proud to say I'm a three weight World Champion and still think there's a couple of big fights in me.
"That being said, I have a job to do on Saturday night for those to come to fruition. I've never boxed in Newcastle before so am looking forward to the atmosphere. Lewis Ritson is doing wonderfully well, I've enjoyed watching his recent rise. We had him in for sparring a while ago and I remember telling Eddie he should sign him.
When I started off I didn't really have any burning desires, it was just taking things one fight at a time. I remember the blonde hair on my debut in particular and waiting by the entrance ready to walk to fight Woody Greenway. I just wanted to establish my jab and get the first one out of the way. Audley Harrison just turned over from the Olympics and was on the card so there was quite a bit of media attention.
I boxed on quite a few Scott Harrison and Alex Arthur undercards from there, then I got a late call to fight Graham Earl in my 10th fight, I was originally down to fight someone called Stevie Murray I think it was and didn't bat an eye lid when they offered me that fight on two weeks' notice. I was there as a bit of a stepping stone for Earl but I was confident in my own ability and showed I can box off the back foot effectively. He was the reigning British Champion at the time and despite it only being an eight rounder it catapulted me to that next level.
The Arthur fight was brewing by this point. I had sparred with Alex before, so sort of knew what to expect. Did it come too soon? Perhaps, but on the bigger picture it was a good learning fight for me. It was my first twelve rounder for starters and my first title fight, it was all experience. There was some talk of a rematch but we never got around to agreeing it with the weight.
The Carl Johanneson fight was a bit of a nightmare all round. I had ate something that didn't agree with me in the 24 hours or so leading up to the fight, that's not an excuse but it had a huge bearing on the fight. I remember someone from the board suggesting I shouldn't take the fight, but there was too much riding on it and I had large support. He obviously got to me with some body shots, I was struggling in there and it was just one to forget all together.
After that I switched trainers from Rab Bannen to Billy Nelson. I had some time off in between then was quite busy, boxing on the small halls to get back into contention and build some momentum.
We won and defended the Commonwealth title then it was the Michael Gomez fight. He was the first fight I had where my opponent really played up with some pre-fight antics. He was in my face at the weigh-in and said some unsavoury things so I really, really wanted to do a number on him. If the ref hadn't have jumped in to stop the fight when he did, I'd have still been there drilling him on the ropes. That one meant a lot, it was a great atmosphere in there.
The Roman Martinez fight was one that had been in the pipeline for some time. There was talks and it didn't get over the line, but then it was on so we had studied him quite a bit knowing it was likely to eventually happen. We knew Martinez was a bit of a banger and it showed in the first round, but I got back to the gameplan, the longer it went I got into my grove and it was truly a night to remember. I was the underdog going in and was overwhelmed after.
There was a bit of talk before the Nicky Cook fight that he was struggling with some form of injury, so the game plan was to test him to the body early. It was a strange one how it all unfolded and I felt a bit bad for the fans who had paid their hard earned cash to see a proper fight but what can you do?
I was done at the weight after the Cook fight, I said to Billy I wanted to move up. The Michael Katsidis fight was a war of attrition. I proved a lot of people wrong that night. Marquez I think was the full Champion and I ended up getting elevated after winning the Interim title in that fight. That one did not disappoint, Michael is a true warrior.
The Kevin Mitchell fight was talked about for a long time. We had sparred and got on and since obviously become pals in Tony Sims' gym but at the time I really wanted to do a number on him. I was almost dismissed in the fight and felt like I had a real point to prove. It was another top night in Glasgow and a conclusive victory for me.
I switched promoters and had some issues outside the ring that definitely affected me mentally and that showed in the next couple of fights because I was below par. I still get reminded of the broken jaw in the Ray Beltran fight to this day, I can't believe looking back how I got through that. I'd say my toughness is one of my biggest traits and it showed there. It's a cliché you've got to bite down on your gumshield at times and grit it out, that was one of those moments.
Terence Crawford is a class act, he was confident all week and now you can see why. He's just gone on to win his third World title after becoming the first undisputed Champion in a long while. The angles, his timing, his footwork, you've just got to take your hat off to him and say he's a real talent. I'd love to see him fight Spence, that's one of the best fights out there to be made.
The Dejan Zlaticanin defeat probably hurt more than losing my World title. We had a lot going on out of the ring, Amanda went into labour just before the fight, we were just moving house and everything else that was well publicised. I got caught cold in the first round and totally went against my trainer's instructions. It just slipped away in the end and I remember being really upset in the changing room after.
The Omar Figueroa fight in Texas was an experience, it's my only fight out in the States to date and with Matchroom's new U.S venture I'd like to get back out there if the right fight came up. Figueroa obviously failed the weight and I remember being in the hotel afterwards and some bloke came up to me, I thought it was his brother at first but it was Omar – He looked like a different bloke after he rehydrated, I've never seen anyone transform as much as that. He apologised for missing the weight and we agreed to carry on, it was a remarkable turnaround because he looked dead at the weight. He really hurt me in the 11th but I had some success in the last round, he said after the fight another minute or two and he would have struggled to see the fight out but there you go.
We made history with the Di Rocco win, that was a proud moment. I wasn't to be denied on that night. People were writing me off, saying I should retire but again I showed people otherwise. I think he was struggling at the weight to be honest and I got to him eventually. The scenes that followed will stay with me for a while and it was a proud moment.
Burns' 50th fight is part of a huge night of action in Newcastle as Lewis Ritson defends his British Lightweight title against Paul Hyland Jnr and Josh Kelly challenges Kris George for the Commonwealth Welterweight title.

Tunisia's Utopixar is Getting UNICEF's For its Blockchain Project
in Africa News
Photo Credit: unlock-bc.com
UNICEF, through its innovation fund will invest in six blockchain projects in emerging markets, each project will get close to $100,000 to develop an open source prototype over the next year. The Global NGO announced months after announcing a blockchain call to start-ups that could benefit humanity.
Only Utopixar from Tunisia (Africa) and – Atix Labs from Argentina, Onesmart and Prescrypto from Mexico, Statwig from India, as well as W3 Engineers from Bangladesh – were picked from the pool of over 100 entrants.
These six companies will build prototypes and systems for global problems including – transparency in health-care delivery, affordable access to mobile phone connectivity, and the ability to direct finances and resources to social-impact projects. They join 20 other technology startups currently under management by the Fund in fields from data science and machine learning, to virtual reality, to drones.
They joined UNICEF 20 other technology companies from – data science and machine learning, to virtual reality, to drones in its Innovation Fund. The new investments, according to the organisation, form part of a wider blockchain strategy for the humanitarian agency.
"Blockchain technology is still at an early stage — and there is a great deal of experimentation, failure, and learning ahead of us as we see how, and where, we can use this technology to create a better world," Chris Fabian, Principal Adviser, UNICEF Innovation says.
In addition to the funding, Innovation Fund will provide product and technology assistance, support with business growth, and access to a network of experts and partners.

Atix Labs – will develop a platform for small to medium-sized enterprises to gain access to funding while creating traceability into where the funds are used and measuring the impact.
Onesmart – to work on the misappropriation of funds in emerging markets with the scale of its prototype application, which ensures the delivery of state-provided social services to children and young people.
Prescrypto – will provide a digital solution to the lack of electronic prescriptions in developing countries with a platform that allows medical services providers to view one common history of a patient, and improve the level of care.
Statwig – use blockchain solutions to ensure the efficient delivery of vaccines through an enhanced supply-chain management system.
Utopixar (Africa) – will deliver a social collaboration tool for communities and organisations to facilitate participative decision-making and value transfer.
And finally, W3 Engineers – will improve connectivity within the refugee and migrant communities through an offline mobile networking platform without the use of sim cards and internet connection.
These investments are part of UNICEF's blockchain explorations of using smart-contracts for organizational efficiencies, creating distributed decision-making processes, and working to build knowledge and understanding of distributed ledger technology in the United Nations and UNICEF's nations.

Oedipus Rex (2006) 5min. 28sec.
Based on a small collage from Marx Ernst (1891-1976), which depicts the profile of a male body with the head of a sphinx sitting on a chair holding the head of a lion. In the video I make a plaster mould with my face covered by a sphinx mask made of clay. This video was my first to film the act of mould-making, and my first attempt to portray the blindness which operates in artistic practice.


A recent study by a major New York-based online assessment organization on property security, sought to seek out the function and spot of monitored alarm system in modern day dwelling safety. And, in that regard, thinking about the really Top rated PRIORITY that Americans place in home safety and the security of their homes, a lot more specially in today's desperate economy, the quite Key question that the reviewers Initially sought to discover, was just this: is often a superior and dependable burglary alarm technique (just assuming a customer can discover one particular) an efficient tool that may deter and avoid household break-ins or burglaries?
Feeling safe inside your property is one of the most significant factors for any house owner. Using a Monitronics Alarm System you'll be able to rest assured that the fire and police departments or an ambulance is accessible to you whenever you have to have it. Finding out your Monitronics alarm method by following these few and uncomplicated actions. Just before you realize it, you will be a single step closer to possessing the safest environment feasible.
Due to it is tremendous deterrent effect power or element. Says Chris E. McGoey, an internationally acclaimed expert and probably one of many foremost authorities on house safety management in America who frequently works with the media on household violence, crime and burglary prevention and is often a frequent specialist witness in court instances on such matters throughout America, who was consulted by study's reviewers, among other sources, alarm systems deter burglaries since they improve the prospective and [provoke within the prospective burglar the] worry of being caught and arrested by the police. The deterrent value comes from the alarm firm lawn indicators which can be placed inside the protected premises, and in the alarm decals around the windows. House and apartment burglars will commonly bypass a property with visible alarm indicators and can go to an additional home that will not have such a sign.
Alarm systems is usually an awesome addition to any residence or enterprise, and bring reassurance to people who live, work, and own the constructing. Being aware of your alarm technique will make it that considerably extra powerful of a deterrent to burglary, having said that, in the event the burglar knows a lot more about your program than you do, they could take advantage of modest flaws that could end up costing thousands of dollars of harm and theft, or worse. It turned out, even so, from the researchers' findings, that the answer to that vital question is YES, it really is, and within a Huge Way... BOTTOM LINE:Overwhelmingly, by the overwhelming amount of information accumulated by the expert researchers of this New York investigative office, the almost conclusive acquiring from the researchers is that the mere fact of just obtaining a great, professionally installed and monitored ELECTRONIC Residence Safety Method ALONE, DRASTICALLY REDUCES the possibility of possessing a BURGLARY inside a household, and hugely DETERS BURGLARS from hitting a household. (Just as it does, as well, in respect to other critical risk and emergency circumstances).
Get your alarm program. You'll want to 1st get a Monitronics alarm system, which is often accomplished by going to their web page and filling out a type or calling to possess a representative come out and demonstrate their technique. After working at the biggest alarm business in the nation, I saw that individuals who ended up unsatisfied with their protection, or ended up having to recover from a significant loss on account of break in, made a few of these really uncomplicated, quick to miss blunders.
- A recent 2009 Rutgers University study by its School of Criminal Justice, making use of 5 years of information, the most complete of its type ever conducted, scientifically proved that burglars, by a margin of as considerably as 30 to 40 %, often avoid properties with burglar alarm systems, as the study additional identified that an installed burglar alarm makes a dwelling significantly less eye-catching towards the would-be and active intruders and protects the house without displacing burglars to nearby properties. Activate your program. When you have got an Monitronics alarm technique, you might really need to activate it. You may do in two strategies. First, when you had an installer install the system for you, he will activate your technique at that time.
- That, in deed, in an earlier study in 1994 that was based on interviews with burglars, Burglars on the Job, which had been published by Northeastern University Press, researchers had created a related finding, and had concluded that, Most offenders, even though, wanted to prevent alarms altogether and, upon encountering such devices abandoned all thought of attacking the dwelling. Practically every alarm system owner is conscious that their method runs off from the electrical energy on the home, it can be either plugged into a wall or it truly is hard-wired into the creating. There is certainly an issue with that even so: When the electricity goes out, a breaker flips, or the plug comes loose, the alarm technique loses its main supply of energy!
- That, according to a Temple University study headed by Professor Simon Hakim, Director of the university's Center for Competitive Government, a monitored alarm technique makes a property 3 occasions much less probably to be burglarized versus a dwelling with out an alarm. Organizations without having alarm systems are 4.five occasions a lot more probably to be burglarized than the ones with electronic security method. And, ultimately, losses resulting from burglary average 400 less in residences without having alarm safety systems. Arm your program, be certain all doors and windows are closed. Press the Doors and Windows button. When arming the program at evening, press the button twice. A remote handle may be used to arm and disarm your Monitronics alarm too. The controller is accessible at the time of obtain.
- That, according to confession made by the burglars, 9 out of ten convicted burglars admitted that they would steer clear of generating a burglary attempt altogether on a house that is protected by an alarm program. (U.S. Division of Justice study, 1999). A single OTHER Critical Getting Of these RESEARCHERS, Though IS THIS: That, what exactly is most likely from the most essential significance of all, on the other hand, is that you select an electronic program which is on the Correct brand from a high-quality corporation. Like any other industry, you will find good brands and corporations, and you will discover poor brands and firms. Backup batteries are what your alarm system certainly will depend on through a power outage. These are commonly positioned inside the panel or, in the case of enclosed systems, within the keypad itself. What most owners are certainly not conscious of, is that these batteries don't have a pretty lengthy life, and they have to be maintained periodically to function at all. An old, worn out battery, or one that just isn't hooked up ideal, will not power the program.
In deed, as outlined by this obtaining, as a homeowner or consumer when you choose the improper or incorrect house security technique, or, even worse than that, the wrong or unreliable organization which offers or installs the method for you, you stand a severe possibility of sustaining serious break ins, and in some cases threat to life, which is just mostly attributable to that particular factor alone! And, further more, which you might, in stead, possibly locate your self in even worse shape than you had been ahead of you very first went for the residence safety program.
- That, an efficient residence safety technique (but one particular from a respected residence safety corporation) makes a property three times Less Probably to become burglarized, as outlined by a National Burglar and Fire Association study (2004). Moreover, however, the 2009 study by Rutgers University, initially cited above, discovered that though getting a residential burglary alarm technique in a residence does, in deed, reduce crime by as significantly as 30-40 percent, it does so, though, not only on the home only that has the alarm system, but within the Complete surrounding location. Select and use a pin quantity. To disarm your technique, enter the four-digit PIN number which you chose at the time of activation. Press slowly and firmly to be positive the quantity is entered correctly.
Activate the emergency buttons on your Monitronics alarm by pressing the proper button twice. This measure is put in spot to ensure you're seriously in an emergency scenario. Monitronics also features a silent alarm feature in case of home invasion. For security motives, it is possible to speak to the enterprise to learn extra concerning the feature. When your alarm goes off, Monitronics will contact you by means of the method to be sure that anything is okay.
- That installation of electronic security products by Americans, and use of skilled solutions (as well as the spending) on them, has been growing at an estimated four.three % per year (STAT Sources, Inc., a Newton, Mass, complete service market place study organization specialized in such matters).
Years ago, bells were used in shops and other public locations. This was to announce a customer or other particular person coming in in the event the shopkeeper was at the back with the retailer. They are nevertheless used for tiny retailers and in some people's homes. These can be holiday bells as component of a decoration, a single cow bell, or any number of other sorts. These bells are available in all variety of sounds and look. The majority of them are very sensitive to motion. They'll notify you in the event the front door, or any door is opened as they sound at the slightest movement if hung correctly.
- That 94 percent of residence alarm owners are happy with their alarm systems (Prof. Simon Hakim's study of Temple University). That 90 % from the Police think that alarms deter burglary attempts. (STAT Resources study). This can be 1 virtually everyone knows about, regardless of whether they've an alarm method or not. We've all seen the films where the burglar sneaks about outdoors the home until he comes across the phone line getting into the property. He pulls out his snippers, and cuts the line. Then, when he busts open the window or front door, the alarm goes off, but no one can get the signal.
- In line with a Board Resolution passed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police in 1994, alarm systems, offering, although, they are professionally installed and monitored, are useful instruments to deter crime and deliver peace of mind for each residential users and organization owners.
In point of reality, possessing a good monitored burglary alarm system is just not only important and efficient as a burglary deterring tool. But, in accordance with security professionals, pound-for-pound, having a monitored dwelling alarm security method, which they strongly emphasize Must be a very good and reputable brand, is maybe the very best and SINGLE MOST Helpful Solution that a single could institute in possessing a residence that scares away possible burglars and keeps them away out of your household, and your family security. In contrast to most factors in the films, that is one that Hollywood got appropriate. Regular alarm systems make use of the phone line to send out any signals at all, like fire, burglary, and carbon monoxide signals. With out the telephone line, nothing at all is received by the alarm company, and no get in touch with goes out to the authorities. Even numerous telephone line systems are pretty uncomplicated to disable in the outside in the constructing.

MRSA means 'methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus'. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria that normally lives on the skin of people and in people's nose. Methicillin is an antibiotic that can usually kill these bacteria but unfortunately, some of them cannot be 'killed-off' with methicillin and hence they are named MRSA.
What do MRSA positive means?
It means that one of your test cultures showed that you are carrying one of these bacteria. Staff will take special precaution when they are treating you.
Staphylococcus aureus is a normal bacteria that does not harm people in normal circumstances. In a dialysis patient, if the bacteria get into a wound or blood, it can cause serious infection and can make the patient very ill.
Staphylococcus, including MRSA, is mostly spread by interpersonal contact by the hands. It can also be spread by objects, such as towels and clothes that have been contaminated with the bacteria and then are shared or used by someone else. It is not uncommon MRSA infections spread among household members, or other people who have frequent that close contact and/or share personal items.
Careful hand-washing is the most important way to keep from spreading MRSA to other patients.
Anyone can become colonized and then infected with MRSA, although certain people are at a higher risk.
In hospitals and other long-term healthcare facilities, MRSA can be spread from one patient to another on the hands of healthcare workers. Hands or gloves may become contaminated with MRSA when healthcare workers touch a patient's skin, wounds, wound dressings, or devices such as IV tubing.
People who need hemodialysis for kidney failure have a substantially higher risk of becoming infected with MRSA compared with other patients.
How do I know I have MRSA infection?
Usually, a culture taken from an infected site or blood specimen is needed to confirm the presence of MRSA infection.
Yes. Although MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics, there are other medications that can be used to treat MRSA infection. Special laboratory testing can help doctors decide which antibiotics will be the most effective for treating an infection.
If antibiotics are prescribed, it is very important to complete taking the medicine entirely, as prescribed by the doctor. This will help prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant to the antibiotics used to treat the infection.


I received these Japanese sponges as a gift a few weeks ago and thought they were too nice to use for cleaning. I thought about incorporating them in a project as the faces are embroidered and it is not what you would expect for something that it supposed to help you clean the grime. I decided to do a little set-up in my bathroom, because this is were you usually see sponges, but not in that manner. I added limbs and ribbons to make them more like little people and pretended that it was a poolside snapshot after a hard day's work (hence the almost spotless sink). I did a composite of two pictures, one with the sponges, the other with water and did more work in Photoshop than I ever did in my life. I know it's not perfect, but I am quite proud of the result, considering my lack of experience.

From Jefferson City, take Hwy 54 south to Hwy 42, turn east. Follow Hwy 42 until you come to Hwy 134. There is a State Park Sign there. Hwy 134 leads you right into the park. Pass the park's trail information center and go to the equestrian parking on your left.
The north loop is marked with green arrows, the south loop is marked with red arrows. There are several interior connector trails marked with white. The trail corridor is well marked and is easy to follow due to a lot of use. It's rough, rocky, has several steep hills, and has drop off or bluffs next to the trail in some places. Make sure your horse is in pretty good shape. The scenery is beautiful. There's a Civil War era cemetery along the trail. I don't know why it has this problem, but it seems to be known far and wide as being exceptionally bad for ticks.

On Monday shortly before noon US west coast time (2000 UTC), NASA's InSight lander successfully touched down on Elysium Planitia on Mars. It sent a signal beep and image of the surface of Mars to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

The lander used aerobraking with a heat shield, then a parachute and finally rockets to achieve a soft landing on the surface. It used similar entry, descent, and landing sequence to the Phoenix spacecraft.
Insight project manager Tom Hoffman said, "We hit the Martian atmosphere at 12,300 mph [miles per hour; 19,800 kilometres per hour], and the whole sequence to touching down on the surface took only [six and a half] minutes [...] During that short span of time, InSight had to autonomously perform dozens of operations and do them flawlessly — and by all indications, that is exactly what our spacecraft did."
InSight stands for Interior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport. The lander's two-year mission is to assess what Mars is like underground, determining the planet's heat flow and listening to the reverberations of groundquakes and meteorite impacts.
Acting director of NASA's Planetary Science Division Lori Glaze said, "We've studied Mars from orbit and from the surface since 1965, learning about its weather, atmosphere, geology and surface chemistry [...] Now we finally will explore inside Mars and deepen our understanding of our terrestrial neighbor as NASA prepares to send human explorers deeper into the solar system."
InSight is expected to begin its mission in a few months, once it has placed the equipment on the surface of Mars. Its solar panels are now open, catching sunlight and powering the spacecraft. It is equipped to drive a device up to 16 feet (5 meters) down into Mars's surface, a record for Mars probes. This is to help characterize heat flow from the planet. Insight also has ultra sensitive seismometers which it is to use to detect Mars earthquakes for the first time. By recording the seismic waves from these quakes, InSight would help scientists infer things about the interior of Mars, such as how seismically active it is. InSight has as single seismometer, with which NASA plans to assess signals from different types of vibrational wave, triangulate their sources, and so derive information about the planetary interior.
InSight was launched May 5 of this year and traveled reportedly 301,223,981 miles (somewhat over 484,773,000 kilometres) between planets followed by two suitcase-sized cube satellites called Mars Cube One, individually MarCO-A and MarCO-B, which relayed information to Earth during the landing process.
Previous successful landers on Mars include Viking 1, Viking 2, Pathfinder, Spirit, Opportunity, Phoenix, and Curiosity. Of these, only Curiosity is still in communication with Earth, after NASA lost communication with Opportunity in June. InSight's landing spot in the Elysium Planitia is about 600 km from Curiosity's landing site in Gale Crater.

Banoffee Pie is such an easy peasy dessert that calling it a pie is like scaring away most of the cooks for no reason. It is a simple assembly of every day things that blend in with each other to make a beautiful and exotic dish.
Coming back to the recipe and the source of its inspiration , you may have noticed that I have been using my tiny tart dish more often. The pie also made from the to do list to the have done recently thanks to the same dish.
1) In mixie, crush the biscuits with 1 tspn butter.
2) Grease the tart plate and pour the biscuit mixture. Using the back of the spoon press the mixture gently.
4) In a non stick pan, heat the remaining butter and sugar. Quickly add the condensed milk and stir it.
6) Chop bananas into small pieces.
7) Now, get the tart dish out of the refrigerator. Pour the condensed milk mixture.
9) Now top it up with whipped cream.

That is such a simple recipe,Pradnya. Honestly, I never thought that goes by the name of pie could be so easily made. Bookmarked.
Seriously?..just banana and toffee?..Until now I had never really given much thought to this recipe, though I have been seeing so many bloggers doing this..Sometimes the simplicity of dishes takes us by surprise right?..very nice and yes after reading and seeing what this is, I would surely make it, the combination being my favorite as well..
Such a tempting and wonderful dessert,look delicious..
I made this pie a couple months ago and was surprised by its simplicity. Your looks great.
I made it couple of years ago and made 1/2 & 1/2 banoffee & fruitoffee. I don't like bananas and instead used mixed fruits. Yes, it is such an easy dessert.
That is such a tempting dish. I always have bananas on hand. Will definitely try this out soon.
Delicious and such an easy dessert!!
This I love. Will love to see the master Pradnya make it when I see her next.
