Who has been the head priest of holy Tirumala Temple for four long decades, about the large scale corruption in the administration of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board and also in the affairs inside the Tirumala Temple, many rumors have started roaming all over the electronic media and social media about the priceless Jewelry of Sri Varu.
Three controversial incidents, that occurred one after the other, on the sacred Tirumala Hills, sometime during 2008-09, have led to large scale speculation and immense fear among the millions of devotees of Lord Sri Venkateswara about the precious jewelry of Sri Varu, gifted to Him by many kings and rulers of the place for centuries.
Controversial Incident Number One : The rumor about many heavy Gold Coins – which are called Dollars by TTD – in the Tirumala Temple went missing or a doubt about them going missing had gained great momentum among devotees, that year.. This had led to a wide discussion not only among the devotees of Lord Venkateswara but also among the priests of the temple.
Controversial Incident Number Two : Almost during the same period, a precious Red Diamond stone, gifted by the rulers of Mysore, was rumored to be broken after falling down from the crown of the processional Deity of Sri Varu (Utsava Murthy) while He was being taken out in a procession in the Mada street on Tirumala Hills, during an annual ceremony.
It is claimed by the TTD authorities, "a few currency coins thrown by the devotees during the procession have hit the Red stone and it had broken into pieces and fell all over the area".
While some argued, "how can anyone or anything break a diamond"; some others said, "yes, a stone from Sri Varu's crown had fallen down and broke into pieces but we are not sure whether it is the rich Red Diamond Stone or any other stone"..
The TTD authorities, however, have finally said, "we have collected all the broken pieces of stone, we found in and around the area, and have cautiously preserved them in our safety lockers".. However, the TTD did not clarify, "what are those broken pieces and to which stone they belong".
Controversial Incident Number Three : Unfortunately during the same period and time, a more controversial rumor, which is much bigger than the previous two, had emerged from nowhere and had spread like a wild fire among the devotees of Lord Venkateswara all over India.
"The large and invaluable Diamonds studded crown, gifted by King Krishna Devaraya of the Vijayanagara dynasty is missing"..This was that rumor.
Although social media was almost non existent those days, all these rumors kicked up enough dust due to the presence of strong print and electronic media those days.. Many discussions have taken place in news channels and many columns have been presented in newspapers, highlighting these rumors.
Horrified by the sudden turn of events in the affairs of the sacred Tirumala Temple, the TTD board had convened an emergency meeting and had unanimously passed a resolution on the 15th of September, 2009.
The then Executive Officer of the TTD board, Sri IYR Krishna Rao, had constituted a committee on 27-10-2009, under the Chairmanship of Justice D.P.Wadhwa, former Judge of the Supreme Court, for the Purpose of Verifying the jewels of Lord Venkateswara and appointed the following members on the Committee.
The committee then had a series of meetings both in Tirumala and Tirupati and examined many records of TTD.. In the proceedings of the Executive Officer dt: 14-09-2010, the committee was requested to give a comprehensive report after verification of the Lord's jewels.
The committee, then again, had met at Tirumala on 26-09-2010 and had continued its deliberations on 27-09-2010, 28-09-2010, 29-09-2010 and 30-09-2010.. The committee had not only examined the records, with reference to Sri Varu's Jewels, but had also held many rounds of discussions with various persons, custodians and the officials concerned.
Finally, after an year of extensive study and verification of almost all the records with TTD, the committee Chairman Justice Wadhwa had called for a large media conference in the Padmavati Guest House on Tirumala Hills and presented a detailed 187 pages report to the media.
"We have worked on for a year and verified all the jewels of the Lord. All the jewels are in order and the system to keep the track of jewels is well placed, established and maintained by the temple administration of TTD. We have suggested to the TTD board to introduce some modern technology to have a more transparent and fool proof system of protection of jewels".
Speaking in the same press conference, one of the committee members, Justice Jagannadha Rao had said, "Apart from the jewels of Srivari temple at Tirumala, we have also verified the jewels of Tiruchanoor temple.. We have selected the jewels in random and were surprised to see that there's a perfect record system being maintained by the Tirumala temple administration.
Fortunately, the simultaneous verification carried out by expert team of Gemologists for diamond and other precious stone studded jewels and the verification of gold by the team from government mint also observed that the jewels of Lord are safe and intact".
Another member, former DGP Sri R.Prabhakar Rao had said, "All the jewels are intact as per the Tiruvabharanam register.. However, we have suggested the temple management to go for hi-fi internal security system in the wake of increased terror perception across the country".
Senior and renowned journalist, Sri Pothuri Venkateswara Rao had said, "After verifying all the jewels personally, physically and technically, all of us have unanimously declared that the jewels are intact and are safe".
Former TTD EO, Sri Venkatapathi Raju had said, "After thoroughly verifying all the records and personally examining the jewels we have drawn the final conclusion.. We have also made some recommendations to the TTD like surprise inspection in the Sub-temples of TTD to verify the jewel registers.. We have further suggested to the temple management to appoint a team of archakas to inspect and verify the jewels adorned to the presiding deity inside the sanctum sanctorum".
"No where in the country, such a brilliant system of maintenance of jewelry records is in practice. We verified 370-380 jewels for a period of over a year since the committee has been constituted.
Of these 370 plus jewels, 100 jewels are being decorated to the presiding deity of Lord Venkateswara every day, while another 70 to the processional deities.. We have verified all the jewels at random and in a phased manner and they have perfectly matched the list in Tiruvabharanam register".
Adding further, Sri PVRK Prasad had said, "To have more perfection of our verification, we have thoroughly studied various books on the temple history written by Sri Veeraraghava Chary, Sri Sadhu Subramanya Shastry, Dr N Ramesan and many other stalwarts who have dedicated their lives in the service of Lord Venkateswara and in bringing in sky-high reputation to the temple management.
The jewelry records, since the day the responsibility of the temple management has been handed over to TTD in the year 1933 from the hands of Mahants, are intact.. However, we have made 22 recommendations to the TTD board to have more transparency in safe guarding the antique jewels".
> Separate treasury building with state of the art security apparatus.
> Hi-fi museum with fool proof security mechanism to display the antique jewels.
> Separate inspection teams with officers and archakas under the control of FACAO of TTD for sub-temples.
> Digitalization of jewels with Radio-frequency identification (RFID), for the purpose of identification and tracking.
Made by renowned Telugu journalist and one of the members of the Wadhwa Committee, Sri Pothuri Venkateswara Rao, about the jewelry in Tirumala Temple.. However, he had made this observation not during the press conference but in his autobiography, 'Vidhi Naa Saradhi' (Telugu).
Here's what he had said in that book,"In our verification, we have found a clear description of the invaluable Diamond Crown gifted by King Sri Krishna Devaraya to Sri Varu during his reign as king of the Vijayanagara kingdom.
However, to our utter shock, we have not found any mention of this invaluable crown in the "Tiruvabharanam" register that's being maintained by the TTD authorities ever since they took over the administration of the Temple in 1933.
For sure, there is a mention of every small jewel belonging to the Lord in that register but not even a hint about this precious crown.. That means this Crown had disappeared from the Tirumala Temple much before 1933″.

Soundtrack Review
Music from the SYFY Original Television Series
Composers: Trevor Rabin and Paul Linford
Label: Varèse Sarabande
Varèse Sarabande release Trevor Rabin and Paul Linford's score for the 12 Monkeys TV series. The show explores the provocative story of Cole, a time traveler from a decimated future in a high-stakes race against the clock. Using a dangerous and untested method of time travel, he journeys from 2043 to the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will all but annihilate the human race...
Trevor Rabin and Paul Linford deliver an intricate, synth based sci-fi score for 12 Monkeys. The album contains 23 tracks (1 hr, 01 min, 23 sec). It's a score that works incredibly well in the show, and is a passable collection of tracks in its own right - if you're looking for a synth based sci-fi sounding score.
There are a handful of themes that will grab your attention - 'Katarina (Jones's Theme)' being the most obvious example, but there way more atmospheric background themes. While these work well in the show, they do sound a little bland when they are centre stage.
While it's not an essential purchase, there are enough memorable moments here to make it worth buying if you're a fan of the show.

Top 10 Women Startup CEOs - 2020
There has been a significant changes in the last few decades, wherein, increasing number of women have been taking up the charge as the leaders across every filed. Many researchers today believe that women are more are more transformational than men leaders when it comes to inspiring team and leading them towards the success of that particular organization. Also, women are believed to be the agents of change, be it decision making in politics, businesses or communities. While, it is also believed that where women hold more executive leadership positions, the company is more likely to increase its growth bandwagon. This elevating women in decision-making benefits politics, businesses, and communities. If we look at the current juncture, female entrepreneurs are leading the way for women around the globe and changing the business world for the better. According to a executive compensation study Equilar 600 reveals that on average women CEOs take home significantly more than their male counterparts. While if we look at the report from Catalyst.org a non-profit, there are currently 29 female CEOs at the helm of the companies in the S&P 500. Therefore, there are lots of cases where women have been proven to be the driving force in their respective fields. Time and time again women are showing the true meaning of being feminist, irrespective of which space one is currently in. As leaders are often tasked with choosing between options that aren't black and white, women are also said to have the honestly to seamlessly lead the entire company's success journey. However, even though the numbers of women in the talent pipeline has been steadily increasing over the last 3 decades, there are still large gender gaps from entry-level right through to top-executive positions. Being a country, which is presently boosting women empowerment, and girl child education, through numerous government and private bodies, India is creating its pathway to a successful future. Recognizing some of the women in the corporate sector, in this issue of the CEO Insights magazine, we present a list of 'Top 10 Women Startup CEOs - 2020'.

The Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot Film is Evidence for Skeptics, not Advocates
Phillip Morris and Bob Heironymous with Bigfoot Costume
"At the end of the day, there's just too much dirt surrounding the Patterson film to use it as any reliable source for debate about the existence of Bigfoot..." --Micah Hanks; Mysterious Universe
In an article for MysteriousUniverse.org, Micah Hanks revisits the Patterson/Gimlin film after a new stabilization is offered on Reddit. The thread on Reddit uses the new stabilization to argue the weakness of the P/G film as evidence. While Mr. Hanks believes the snew stabilization does not offer anything new to either side of the argument, he does have issues of using the P/G Film as the Holy Grail of Bigfoot evidence.
(New stabilization from Reddit User)
His issues with the film are mostly based on John Napiers concerns with Patty's Anatomy (for those uninitiated, Patty is the name affectionately given to the subject in the P/G film), Read one of Napier's arguments presented by Mr. Hanks below.
For starters, the creature displays a sagittal crest atop it's skull; however, the subject also, rather famously, appears to possess female mammary glands (breasts). Among the great apes, we have the sagittal formation that occasionally appears, primarily among the male members of the species (gorillas and orangutans), rather the females. Hence, it seems rather out of place that the prominence on "Patty's" head so greatly resembles a sagittal crest formation, since "she" would be the least likely of the sexes to possess this trait.
There can be an argument made that the sagittal crest is not a marker of gender, and more of an indication of vegetation-chewing diet. There are multiple examples of modern and relict female primates that have sagittal crests. Female Paranthropus also had sagittal crests. Mr h
Mr. Hanks also draws attention to Napier's critique of Patty's belly--or lack there of. The argument is if patty has a the diet that comes with a sagittal crest than she should also have the large intestinal track or belly that come with it. These arguments about Patty's anatomy can go back and forth forever. Which perhaps underlines Mr. Hanks premise. His final argument about mismatched data does get interesting.
Finally, the individual footprint length used to estimate relative height of the purported animal, matched to the distance between tracks left in the sand (which were measured at the scene of the purported observation at Bluff Creek) are inconsistent with the proportional ratio for expected stride. Primatologists, like Napier, who observed the film have pointed this out, although it remains one of the least-discussed aspects of the the film's investigation which argues strongly against the animal in the film being genuine. To this, he noted in his 1972 book Bigfoot that the manner in which the subject appears to walk in the film looks very exaggerated: "All three factors should be consistent with each other. Could it be that the 'exaggerated' walk of Bigfoot was designed to magnify the normal step length, an effect which, in the event, failed miserably?"
It would be interesting to see anybody take on this final argument of the mismatch of data. head over to the MysteriousUniverse.org website and read Micah Hanks entire article titled, "Maybe It's Time We Forget About The Patterson Bigfoot Film".

So, my house burned down. Lost everything I worked for up until this point in my life.
Spent a few days in the hospital due to smoke inhalation.
Lost the house, laptop, backups and the safe since I don't trust banks.
No house, no clothes besides what I was wearing, no laptop, no internet, no money being in a foreign country.
All my accounts are 2FA protected (+ randomly generated passwords) so had no real way of getting back in since phone/simcard burned down with it.
Me, xiao9 and deadc0de don't know each other real names or address in real life so it was somewhat tricky to get in contact with each other again.
Currently back home with my parents again, found some temporary work for the past 2 weeks earning some money, bought new laptop, replacement phone/simcard arrived and now I'm back! Well, online at least.
We are sorry to hear this bad news , I hope you are in good health now.
I wish you all good luck, you are a good and very responsible man, and i know you will have success no matter what get in your way... so keep going, keep following your dreams, and i`m sure you will reach them!!
I wish you all good luck, you are a good and very responsible man, and i know you will have success no matter what get in your way... so keep going, keep following your dreams, and i`m sure you will reach them and We do not want to leave this game as one of the most loved ones, it is one of the most wonderful games we have played in our lives and we have suffered your loss again and our hearts are with you in this ordeal.
Sorry to hear! Hope your ok and find a way to get back on track!
This news is very sad but we are happy you are fine!

Contemporary Dutch portrait photography has been held in high regard for many years, both in the Netherlands itself and on the international stage. Indeed, photographers like Anton Corbijn and Rineke Dijkstra are even more widely known abroad than in their own country. But what makes Dutch portrait photography so unique? The exhibition entitled "Dutch Identity" in Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle centres on that question with works of 25 prominent contemporary portrait photographers, all from the Netherlands: Danielle van Ark, Blommers&Schumm, Koos Breukel, Joost van den Broek, Ernst Coppejans, Anton Corbijn, Linelle Deunk , Desiree Dolron, Rineke Dijkstra, Charlotte Dumas, Lucia Ganieva, Ringel Goslinga, Pieter Henket, Carli Hermès, Cuny Janssen, Danielle Kwaaitaal, Annaleen Louwes, Hellen van Meene, Vincent Mentzel, Erwin Olaf, Carla van de Puttelaar, Viviane Sassen, Martine Stig, Marie Cécile Thijs and Marcel van der Vlugt.
The contemporary photographic portrait evolves from the Lowlands' centuries-old tradition of portraiture. Portraits are all about identity. Not only the identity of the model but also that of the photographer and that of the person viewing the portrait.
In an age that virtually everyone has a photo camera at hand in the form of a mobile phone and portraits, selfies or otherwise, are flung without a thought and in massive quantities out into the world via social media, Dutch Identity shows that a photographic portrait can be much more than a random snapshot.
The exhibition was organised by Cathinka Huizing and Harriet Stoop-de Meester, joint authors of the book Dutch Identity, Dutch Portrait Photography TODAY that will be published by publishing house De Kunst.


Christopher Cervino, 43, faces fraud and other charges for his alleged involvement in a scheme to trade stock at inflated prices, according to reports. Authorities allege the plan was masterminded by a man previously convicted in another stock scam.
Authorities say Cervino allegedly accepted two payments equaling $35,000 as part of the scheme. Cervino was reportedly recently arrested and charged with conspiracy, securities fraud, wire fraud and perjury, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He faces decades in prison and up to $5 million in fines if convicted.
According to his FINRA Broker Check, Cervino was registered with Primary Capital in New York, NY from 10/30/2014 – 01/07/2016 and prior to that he was registered with COR Clearing LLC in Edison, NJ from 08/07/2013 – 10/29/2014. He has six disclosures listed on his Broker Check and he was permanently barred from the securities industry by FINRA in April 2016.

Q: Getting an import error on android while code works on windows (kivy) I'm building an app using kivy/python. I created an apk using buildozer. On windows my code runs perfectly but when I run the apk on my android device it immediately crashes. I ran adb logcat to find the error and I think I've found the relevant bit:
 I python  :  Traceback (most recent call last):
 I python  :    File "/home/casper/Desktop/MyApp/.buildozer/android/app/main.py", line 17, in <module>
 I python  :    File "/home/casper/Desktop/MyApp/.buildozer/android/app/price.py", line 8, in <module>
 I python  :  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
 I python  : Python for android ended.

This seems weird to me because everything works when I run it on my laptop. Do I need to install requests in another directory or something? Thanks!

A: yes your code will work perfectly fine while testing on your windows, this is because python has the module 'requests' . But on compiling to apk , you will run into errors because python for android does not have the 'requests' module. .you will need to check alternative libraries that are supported by 'python for android'
