Thread: Cool Story
For 13 thousand dollars, Englishman Brandon Grimshaw bought a tiny uninhabited island in the Seychelles and moved there forever. When the Englishman Brandon Grimshaw was under forty, he quit his job as a newspaper editor and started a new life.
By this time, no human had set foot on the island for 50 years. As befits a real Robinson, Brandon found himself a companion from among the natives. His Friday name was René Lafortin. Together with Rene, Brandon began to equip his new home. While René came to the island only occasionally, Brandon lived on it for decades, never leaving. By oneself.
For 39 years, Grimshaw and Lafortin planted 16 thousand trees with their own hands and built almost 5 kilometers of paths. In 2007, Rene Lafortin died, and Brandon was left all alone on the island.
He was 81 years old. He attracted 2,000 new bird species to the island and introduced more than a hundred giant tortoises, which in the rest of the world (including the Seychelles) were already on the verge of extinction. Thanks to Grimshaw's efforts, the once deserted island now hosts two-thirds of the Seychelles' fauna. An abandoned piece of land has turned into a real paradise.
A few years ago, the prince of Saudi Arabia offered Brandon Grimshaw $50 million for the island, but Robinson refused. "I don't want the island to become a favorite vacation spot for the rich. Better let it be a national park that everyone can enjoy."
And he achieved that in 2008 the island was indeed declared a national park.Screenshot_20220114-215326.jpg

The summer heatwave didn't offer ideal market conditions for retailers of beds, sofas and curtains. So the fact that DunelmGroup's full-year results were in line with expectations was enough to send shares up 44p, or 4.4 per cent, to £10.43.
The FTSE 250 homewares retailer reported a 10 per cent rise in revenue to £1.1 billion on the back of a 4.2 per cent rise in like-for-like sales. Strong growth in online like-for-like sales, up 37.9 per cent, was also taken as a positive. Profit before tax fell by 6.7 per cent year on year to £102 million, including £8.4 million of losses related to its November 2016 acquisition of Worldstores, which sells products for homes and gardens.


Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has filed far-reaching patent lawsuits against Google, Apple, Yahoo, Netflix, Facebook, AOL and eBay, among others, alleging the companies violated patents owned by his now-defunct idea lab Interval Research.
The lawsuit also alleges that Interval Research was one of four funders of Sergey Brin and Larry Page's research that eventually became Google. The suit includes a screenshot of a 1998 Google webpage, crediting Allen's company.
Notably missing from the list of targets are Amazon.com and Microsoft, which Allen left in 1983. Allen made tens of billions from his Microsoft shares, and recently pledged to donate most of his estimated $13.5 billion fortune to charity. Allen also owns the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and the NBA's Portland Trailblazers.
Interval Licensing owns most of the 300 patents from Allen's Interval Research, and the suit comes just a week after Oracle decided to sue Google for patent violations over the open source Java programming language in relation to Google's mobile phone operating system Android.
The suit (.pdf) was filed Friday in the U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Hugh Quincy Alexander ( born August 7, 1911 at Glendon, North Carolina, † September 17, 1989 in Kannapolis, North Carolina ) was an American politician. He represented the state of North Carolina 1953-1963 as a deputy in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Born on a farm in Moore County Hugh Alexander attended the public school and Duke University, where he graduated in 1932. Then he began to study law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His admission to the bar he received in 1937 and worked for some years as a lawyer in Kannapolis. When the Second World War broke out, he enlisted in the United States Navy. He served there from 1942 to 1946, including 34 months overseas. After the war, Alexander was 1947 and 1949 elected to the House of Representatives from North Carolina. He then worked from 1950 to 1952 as a lawyer at the recorder's court of the Cabarrus County. In 1951 he was part of the leadership of the American Legion.
Alexander was elected in 1952 for the Democrats in the 38th Congress of the United States. In addition, he was the successor of the control Appropriations Committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton. Alexander was re-elected four times, where he was never able to reach a safe state in his district. This has two reasons: First, there was always larger liberal trends and secondly to growing Republican influence in the district. During his tenure, he participated in the constitution of the Southern Manifesto, which spoke out against racial integration in public institutions.
North Carolina lost according to the census of 1960, a congressional district, the state Legislature saw a chance to prevent the re-election of Mr Charles R. Jonas from Charlotte, then the only Republican among the delegates from North Carolina. Some areas that voted predominantly Republican, were added to the district of Alexander. However, the intended effect is not entered, what was clear in the 1962 election, but lost in the Jonas in his new district easily won and Alexander with less than one percentage point compared to the Republicans Jim Broyhill.

ADAMA DIAKHABY: HIS CAREER TO DATE

- Watch clips on #HTTV
Learn more about the career to date of Huddersfield Town's latest recruit, Adama Diakhaby, from AS Monaco.
Born on 5 July 1996 in Ajaccio, France, six-foot tall Adama also qualifies to represent Senegal at international level through his heritage.
The left-footed attacker played for several teams in his youth, lately SM Caen and Rennes.
It was at Caen that the youngster started to make an impact, breaking into the Club's second team in the 2013/14 season when still a teenager.
He was offered a new contract by Caen at the conclusion of the campaign but, amid reported links to AS Roma, 1860 Munich, Tottenham Hotspur and FC Sion among others, he chose to move to Rennes, where he continued to play second team football.
Adama's senior debut came at Rennes early in the 2016/17 season, making his debut in Ligue 1 – the top division in France – as a substitute against OGC Nice on 14 August.
He didn't have to wait long for his first goal, which came a fortnight later in a 1-1 draw with a Montpellier team that featured Town striker Steve Mounié in attack.
Diakhaby went on to make seven starts and 22 substitute appearances in his debut season, scoring five goals.
Two of those goals came on the final day of the season against title-winning AS Monaco; the Club that Adama joined three months' later. He put pen-to-paper on a five-year contract at Stade Louis II.
He was a regular face in Monaco's match day squad last season, grabbing three goals and three assists in 15 starts and 15 substitute appearances as his team finished runner-up in both the league and domestic cup. That tally included five appearances in the Champions League.
His form also earned him a debut for France's Under-21 side last season, for which he now has four caps.

I'm back! Well, sort of. I'm still away visiting family, but today is the first day I've had access to a real computer. Trying to get a post written on an iPad is not easy, so thank you for bearing with me as I try to blog without photo editing software and coffee. I've got something awesome for you today, complete with animal photobombing.
I owned a small boutique when I started this blog nearly three years ago. I specialized in items for little girls and bought most of my supplies through wholesale vendors or small supply shops. I often see items like headbands and clips being sold for prices I could never justify spending, especially after knowing how much you can buy supplies for. Thankfully, you don't have to pay retail for awesome. Making your own headbands from soft fold over elastic will take you less than a minute and just a couple dollars with this super easy DIY headband tutorial.
Cut your elastic to length (tips on finding the proper length below images) and a 1.5 inch piece for the loop.
Heat seal the ends of both pieces with your candle flame.
Take your elastic, shiny side up and make a loop. Put a small dot of hot glue on one end of the elastic. Place the other end of your elastic on top of the glue and hold it place firmly until the glue is dry. Careful not to burn yourself.
Put a small drop of hot glue on the matte side of the headband seam. Attach your loop piece of elastic to the glue, making sure it's matte side to matte side and the loop piece is shiny side up. Press until dry. Add another drop of glue in the same place as the previous drop. Wrap the small piece of elastic around the headband and press firmly until the glue dries.
Attach clips onto the loop or wear them plain. You can mix and match clips depending on outfits. The possibilities are endless.
I was compensated with supplies from one of my sponsors, Hairbow Supplies Etc. I 100% recommend this vendor because I purchased headband supplies from them back when I still owned the boutique. I have a hard time recommending brands I don't have history with, so you know that I'm not fluffing it by saying I love the products (and prices).
You can find amazing patterns, hair flowers, and supplies galore at crazy affordable prices. Perfect for gift giving. Gwen from Hairbow Supplies Etc is offering a coupon code for you readers. Enter CRAFT20 for a 20% discount at www.hairbowsuppliesetc.com. My favorite is the sparkle elastic. Perfect for keeping the stray hairs off my face when the humidity gets out of control.
Thank you Maria, these head bands are adorable! if I had a baby girl Id be making it right away!
I little bit of both actually. I think a lot of headbands on Etsy are priced appropriately for the materials/time/skill, but then I sometimes stumble onto ones that are absurd. It just depends on your marketing and your products. I feel like if you offer something others can't find easily, then bump up your prices. Good luck on your business journey!

Fossil-free innovations in the Swedish mining industry
How are mining companies helping tackle coronavirus?
Matthew Hall 8 April 2020	(Last Updated April 8th, 2020 17:08)
It's been four weeks since the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO). To date, the virus has been detected in 209 countries and territories worldwide, with the total number of confirmed cases approaching 1.5 million at the time of writing.
A number of mining companies have committed resources to the fight against coronavirus.
The coronavirus outbreak and associated government responses worldwide have created a difficult start to 2020 for mining companies – the pandemic has so far wiped $282bn from the market value of the top 50 companies.
Lockdown measures have required some mine operators to reduce operations or close down entirely amid efforts to suppress infection rates. While companies largely remain coy about their production outlook in light of the closures, several global companies have begun initiatives to help local, regional and national health systems in their efforts to tackle Covid-19. Here, Mining Technology details some of the important efforts supported or orchestrated by mining companies around the globe.
Canada-based Barrick is the second-largest gold mining company in the world, with gold operations across three continents and a large-scale copper operation in Zambia. The company has announced support for numerous countries it operates in, yesterday handing a cheque for $530,000 to the Zambian government.
Barrick's manager for Zambian operations Nathan Chishimba said: "As a committed partner to Zambia we would also like to make a contribution to the government's fight against the pandemic. We are consequently funding the provision of medical equipment to the value of US$340,000 at the national level, US$100,000 for the North-Western province and US$90,000 for the Kalumbila district."
Today, the company went further, announcing a $1.5m support programme to help the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) tackle coronavirus. Barrick had already implemented support measures to protect workers at its Kibali mine in the DRC. Barrick said that the mine's doctors and health workers are managing that programme using their experience in dealing with other deadly disease outbreaks such as Ebola.
Barrick has also pledged to contribute $1.7m in the form of critical equipment and expertise to help the Tanzanian government in its fight against Covid-19. The company has three fully-owned gold mines in Tanzania.
Despite preparing to leave South Africa – AngloGold Ashanti sold its South African assets to Harmony Gold Mining in February – it has nonetheless pledged to support the nation through the Covid-19 crisis. AngloGold has made two of its mining hospitals available to the provincial governments of the North West and Gauteng, which will be used exclusively by the authorities for the treatment and isolation of Covid-19 patients.
AngloGold Ashanti has also pledged to donate protective face masks, has procured a further 27 electronic intensive care beds for Soweto's Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital and is providing and servicing 24 mobile toilets for the hospital. The company is working with the Imbumba Foundation to distribute 5,000 care parcels containing groceries, handwash and other essential items to the elderly and vulnerable.
The company has also pledged ZAR20m ($1m) to the Solidarity Response Fund, a government-backed fund run by the WHO to aid in the international effort against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Diamond miner and marketer De Beers announced a $2.5m stimulus contribution, spread across Botswana and Namibia. The contribution makes up part of the company's larger effort across its four producing countries including Canada and South Africa to support governments and local communities to procure medical supplies, logistical support, food security for vulnerable households, water supply to local communities, as well as initiatives to improve education and awareness around Covid-19.
De Beers Group CEO Bruce Cleaver said: "With our contribution of $2,500,000, De Beers is supporting the unprecedented efforts of healthcare professionals, community leaders and all those confronting Covid-19 in the countries and communities in which we live and work. We have refocused our business in our host communities to support the response to the pandemic and our priorities are clear: prepare communities for the crisis, support the emergency response and be a partner in economic recovery.
"We have longstanding partnerships with the people of Botswana and Namibia spanning decades. The men and women of De Beers are proud to stand with them now in this moment of crisis and we will stand with them as their partners on the road to recovery and renewal."
The company has designed a Community Response Plan to provide the most effective and relevant support possible to host communities. It is also working with governments to provide support both during the pandemic as well as the post-pandemic economic recovery phase.

Q: cStringIO.StringO fails to save uploaded file stream when file is smaller than 1kByte I borrowed this code for saving a file stream to disk, and it works except for when the file is less than 1kb in size. I get this error:
in stuff_uploaded:
copy(theFile.file.name, './tmp/'+theFile.filename) #saves temporary file to /cp2/tmp/

AttributeError: 'cStringIO.StringO' object has no attribute 'name'
@cherrypy.expose
@cherrypy.tools.noBodyProcess()
def stuff_uploaded(self, theFile=None):
    import cgi
    import tempfile
    # convert the header keys to lower case
    lcHDRS = {key.lower():val for key, val in cherrypy.request.headers.iteritems()}
    class myFieldStorage(cgi.FieldStorage):
        """uses a named temporary file instead of the default non-named file; keeping it visibile (named), allows us to create a
        2nd link after the upload is done, thus avoiding the overhead of making a copy to the destination filename."""
        def make_file(self, binary=None):
            return tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile()
    formFields = myFieldStorage(fp=cherrypy.request.rfile,
                                headers=lcHDRS,
                                environ={'REQUEST_METHOD':'POST'},
                                keep_blank_values=True)
    theFile = formFields['theFile']
    # we now create a 2nd link to the file, using the submitted filename.
    from shutil import copy
    copy(theFile.file.name, './tmp/'+theFile.filename) #saves temporary file
    msgs = csv_to_survey.match_fieldnames('./tmp/'+theFile.filename)
    return './tmp/'+theFile.filename

So what can I do to ensure that cStringIO.StringO handles small uploaded files?

A: Just open and write the file directly:
with open('./tmp/'+theFile.filename, "w") as f:
    f.write(theFile.file.getvalue())

Or to deal with it regardless of whether the file is on disk or StringIO, use it as a file-like object:
import shutil

with open('./tmp/'+theFile.filename, "w") as f:
    # If the file pointer might not be at the beginning of theFile.file, add:
    # theFile.file.seek(0)
    shutil.copyfileobj(theFile.file, f)
    # While:
    #     f.write(theFile.file.read())
    # would work most of the time, it involves holding the whole contents of the
    # file in memory at once (which you want to avoid; that's why CherryPy
    # uses temp files for larger data). shutil.copyfileobj does block by
    # block copies, which have fixed peak memory usage while still running
    # (almost) as fast

Note: This (and your original solution) is insecure, since uploading the same file twice will overwrite the previous file, and (depending on server filters on names) file names could traverse the file system to overwrite unintended files outside the tmp directory.

 Idiotentest, umgangssprachlich für eine Medizinisch-Psychologische Untersuchung
 Idiotentest (Film), deutsche Komödie von Thomas Nennstiel (2012)


CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. - A Wisconsin man accused of shooting three Maryland men last month will have his case referred to a Jefferson County grand jury following a preliminary hearing Wednesday, although his attorney said he acted in self-defense.
"You're surrounded by 15 angry, drunken people threatening to throw you in the river...That looks like self-defense to me," Public Defender Deborah Lawson said in an interview following Patrick J. Carr's hearing before Magistrate Katherine Santucci.
Lawson added during the interview that Carr has not been charged in connection with allegations made by witnesses that he sexually assaulted a 5-year-old boy at the Harpers Ferry Flea Market before the shooting.
The Minoquan, Wisc., man is in jail on $750,000 bond on three counts of malicious wounding in the shootings of Danny Lerch, 34, and James Hoare, 36, both of Knoxville, Md., and Barry Deeds Sr., 51, of Point of Rocks. Md. Lerch and Hoare are still in Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va.
After the hearing Lawson said Carr, 53, who was briefly hospitalized for head injuries from the melee, is an antique dealer who often goes to flea markets.
At 9:21 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, West Virginia State Police received a call about a suspicious person at the flea market, a former drive-in theater on U.S. 340, according to Trooper Timothy Taucher. While en route to the scene, Taucher heard shots had been fired.
Taucher described the scene when he arrived as "Chaos. Disorder. People were down and ambulances were en route." In addition to the shooting victims, he saw Carr with an eye swollen shut, a cut and bruises.
"He felt he was set up...He shot these men in self-defense," Taucher said in describing statements Carr reportedly made to him.
Taucher testified Carr said he would be killed in prison because "They always kill child molesters in prison."
The trooper said a .38-caliber revolver was found behind a trailer owned by Robert Lee Baker. Baker told him he took the gun from Carr.
According to Taucher, the state police crime lab has not completed forensic tests on the gun and bullets and a gunpowder residue test from Carr.
Test results related to the alleged sexual assault and a records check to establish the gun's ownership are also incomplete, Taucher said.
"They picked up some weapon...I don't know whose weapon it is," Lawson said in the interview after the hearing. She asked Taucher during the hearing if he noticed that the windshield of Carr's 1969 Ford Bronco was broken and his keys were broken off in the ignition. He said he had not noticed either the windshield or the keys.
Taucher read a statement by Danny Lerch in which he said his children told him a man tried to lure them to a graveyard. Lerch and two other men confronted Carr at his vehicle but "He seemed like a nice guy. That's why we were going to let him go."
Several others attending a cookout at the market gathered around the Bronco. Barry Deeds testified that James Hoare tried to get in the Bronco, but was restrained.
Deeds admitted telling Carr, "If you hurt that kid, they'll be pulling you out of the Potomac River." His wife admitted in testimony to making a similar statement.
Deeds said he had been drinking, but couldn't testify about anyone else.
"I heard a police siren go off and immediately Mr. Carr opened up and shot my husband," Ruth Deeds testified. She said Carr's keys were taken so he couldn't drive away and two vehicles were blocking his, but no one touched Carr before the shooting.

Albert Lea Group Raising Money for a Bronze Statue of Marion Ross

There is a group in Albert Lea that's trying to raise money to get a bronze statue of Marion Ross built in front of the Performing Arts Theatre. They have a Facebook group put together to promote their fundraising.
The group seems to have been put together at the beginning of June. It's called "Marion Ross Statue" and they have some information about the statue and fundraising, too. One of the fundraising options is to purchase a brick paver to go by the Marion Ross statue. You can find info about that HERE.
A way that they are getting the word out about their fundraising is by putting together some goofy skits! Their first video was shared a couple of weeks ago "starring our very own (look-a-likes) Mrs. C & The Fonz!" Check out the short video below:
For those that do not know, Marion Ross used to live in Albert Lea. She lived there as a child until she moved to the Twin Cities to pursue her dream of acting.
There are many other celebrities that grew up in Minnesota! Take a look at where these 15 celebrities went to high school around Minnesota.

The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) claims that it uses "nonpartisan criteria" to select participants for the presidential debates. However, publicly available information shows that one of the polls used to determine participants, the NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, is run by Democratic and Republican pollsters.
The NBC-Wall Street Journal poll is not actually run by those news organizations. It is run by Hart Research Associates and Public Opinion Strategies. Both are partisan organizations on opposite ends of the establishment aisle.
According to the records from the Center for Responsive Politics, the founder of Hart Research Associates, Peter Hart, has donated $24,829 to Democratic Party organizations and Democratic politicians. The current president of Hart Research Associates, Geoffrey Garin, worked as co-chief strategist for Hillary Clinton's 2008 run and for Priorities USA Action, a Super PAC that supported Obama's re-election.
Despite his involvement at Hart, he continues to work for Priorities as it focuses on electing Hillary Clinton in 2016. He has donated $1,000 to Priorities and tens of thousands more for various Democratic politicians and party organizations. He has donated $1,250 specifically to the candidacies of Hillary Clinton.
On the other side of the aisle, Public Opinion Strategies repeatedly describes itself on its website as "the leading Republican polling company." Its co-founders, Glen Bolger, William McInturff, and Neil Newhouse have donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican politicians and organizations.
While not readily available to the public, a document provided by NBC specifically lists William McInturff and Fred Yang of Hart as the researchers.
There is cause for concern. McInturff notes on his company profile that he is "not simply monitoring public opinion, but developing messages to defend and promote client interests on complex policy issues." He has donated over $40,000 to Republican candidates and organizations.
Yang has donated $750 to Democrats. Though this figure may seem low, Yang is extremely valuable to the Democratic Party. He was named in Roll Call as one of 10 Democratic consultants who make a difference.
It is far from clear that individuals who are so invested in, and valued by, the two establishment parties can provide a truly objective perspective on a race that includes two other national parties.
In fact, independent voters are themselves shortchanged by the NBC-Wall Street poll: While the respected Gallup, which is not involved in the polls for this year's debates, reports around 42% independents, the latest NBC-Wall Street Journal poll conducted by the hyper-partisan Hart Research Associates and Public Opinion Strategies only has around 33% independents.
Nonpartisan voters are systematically under-sampled. And, importantly, the documentation provided by NBC shows that Hart Research and Public Opinion Strategies made no effort to use statistical means to correct for the under-representation of independents.
The CPD must admit that the poll in question is inherently stacked against candidates and voters who refuse to fall in line with the Democratic and Republican parties. In a year of historic animus against these two establishment parties, the poll fails to represent the diversity of the American electorate.

International Men's Day: How Has Bollywood's Portrayal Of Men Influenced My Masculinity
Bollywood's portrayal of men has been problematic, educational, therapeutic, and over-the-top. But most importantly, it has been influential. So, on International Men's Day, let's dissect it.
By Pramit Chatterjee November 19, 2019
If anyone goes through any of my reviews and analytical pieces of Bollywood movies, they will undoubtedly think that I hate them. They might as well call me a 'snob' or an 'elitist piece of sh*t'. But the one thing that you have to understand is that I am the way I am towards Bollywood movies is because of how influential they've been for me and my personality. I might love Hollywood movies but I seriously cannot shy away from the fact that the characters, male ones to be specific, that the Hindi film industry have conjured have shaped me. And since it's International Men's Day, let's talk about how they've portrayed men, and how that has changed me as a man through the years.
So, if you have to categorise me in terms of what kind of a boy I was during my childhood, you can say that I was very effeminate. Yes, I know that's a derogatory word now but back then I had no idea that it's okay to have women-like qualities in you. However, the world around me was loud, brash, and largely toxic because they were under the influence of Sanjay Dutt's gangster flicks. I am talking about Khal Nayak, Vaastav, Baaghi, Kurukshetra, and Mission Kashmir where he was constantly seen as the epitome of intoxicating charm, anger, and power. Women were merely objects of desire for him and nothing else. Now, at the age of 7-8, I had no clue about any woman other than my mother. But I knew how to behave in a toxic manner, which eventually led to multiple horrible altercations at school. Thankfully, he redeemed this streak of his with Munnabhai M.B.B.S., thereby teaching his entire fan-base about how you can change despite reaching the worst depths of humanity.
Mashable India
However, Dutt's Munnabhai didn't come out till 2003 and in that time someone else was deconstructing the meaning of masculinity one movie at a time. Yes, you're right (and you get one virtual hug for guessing), I am talking about Shah Rukh Khan. This man was creating a line between bad and good male characters with movies like Baazigar, Darr, Koyla, Yes Boss, Dil To Pagal Hai, Pardes, Dil Se..., Baadshah, Josh, Mohabbatein, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Veer-Zaara, Devdas, the list doesn't end. Seeing a man of his stature open his heart and cry like anything, while carrying out the duties that are expected from a man like him, was actually therapeutic. You can criticise how he cried or when he cried or for what he cried. But seeing him bare all his emotions on that gigantic screen shattered the only notion about how 'real men don't cry' in an instant. And, in my opinion, the crown jewel of his humongous stereotype-smashing filmography is Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi because he was playing the worst and the sugar-coated best example of a man. He practically exemplified how a person holds both of those characteristics in him and how it's up to him to let one come to the fore and let the other one die.
Now, since we've talked about the King, we've to talk about the Godfather of Bollywood: Amitabh Bachchan. The sole reason why I was exposed to his movies is because a) my parents are huge fans of his and b) because he's the Big B, you can't miss him even if you wanted to. And the first movie that I (very obviously) was shown was Sholay and I was immediately hooked. His swagger, his no-f*cks-given attire, all had a solid impact on my psyche and before I even knew it, I was sucked into the downward spiral of toxicity that his movies exuded. I mean, come on. You aren't going to look at Deewar, Zameer, Trishul, Don, Coolie, Shahenshah, and Agneepath and say that, despite giving magnetic performances, Bachchan was setting all the wrong examples for men by creating an aesthetic that was clearly anti-societal. It was only with movies like Mohabbatein, Black, Sarkar, Baghban, Cheeni Kum, Piku and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... that he started to break out of that stereotype and accept the fragility that comes with manlihood. I am sure that if he wouldn't have done that, I would have lived under the impression that being a man means being tall, dark, and handsome for the rest of your life, even when you are on your death-bed. Additionally, I think it was his ability to accept ageing that helped me realise that the men in my life aren't going to be rockstars till the end of time.
I think it is this very churning through the years that has allowed Bollywood to create the male characters of today who are easily relatable and imbues the audience with the ability to empathise with the people around them. Yes, there are some Kabir Singhs and Chulbul Pandeys that shows its ugly head now and then, makes a lot of money and attempts to set the precedence that being abusive is the best norm. But you have actors like Ranveer Singh, Ayushmann Khurrana, Vicky Kaushal, Abhimanyu Dassani, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Ranbir Kapoor embracing characters like Ram, Vicky, Deepak, Surya, Faizal, and Ved Sahni, respectively, who are flawed, are aware of it, are ready to portray them on the big screen, and guide young men (who are idolising them) through a path of self-healing and self-correction. And as someone who has learnt to rediscover myself through my failures, mistakes and achievements through movies like Tamasha, Shubh Mangalam Saavdhan, Vicky Donor, Udta Punjab, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota etc., I think this is the best time, especially as a man, to dig deeper into the layers that are being written into the psyche of Bollywood heroes.

In the last edition of Beaches|life, we featured Augmented Reality as part of our three part series: Staying Ahead with Tech. In part two, we are looking at the Smart Home. Smart home gadgets let you turn your lights on using your smartphone, stream music to a speaker, remotely lock your doors, clean your house, and much more. More than just about convenience, these devices can also help you save money on heating and energy, let you know if someone's trying to break in, or if there's some emergency. Although in its infancy, smart home technology is growing at an enormous pace.
Home automation or a smart home is a house that has a system to control lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also have home security and alarm systems.
A smart home system typically connects controlled devices to a central hub or gateway, via a wall-mounted terminal, tablet or desktop computer, mobile phone application, or Web interface.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).
Appliance control and integration with a smart grid and smart meters.
Home robots and security system integrated with home automation to provide remote security cameras surveillance over the Internet, or access control and central locking and unlocking of all perimeter doors.
Leak detection, smoke and CO detectors.
Home automation for the elderly and disabled.
Pet and baby care, for tracking the pets and babies' movements and controlling pet access.
Air quality control to monitor air quality and pollution levels.
Smart Kitchen and connected cooking using voice control devices like Amazon Alexa, Google Home or mobile applications to manage coffee machines, ovens, fridges and multi-cookers, such as Instant Pot.
Historically, systems have been sold as complete systems where the consumer relies on one vendor for the entire system including the hardware, the communications protocol, the central hub, and the user interface. However, there are now open hardware and open source software systems which can be used instead of or with proprietary hardware.
A Wi-Fi network connected to the Internet can be vulnerable to hacking.
Technology is still in its infancy, and consumers could invest in a system that becomes obsolete quickly (a.ka. abandonware). In 2014, Google bought the company selling the Revolv Hub home automation system, integrated it with Nest and in 2016 shut down the servers Revolv Hub depended on, rendering the hardware useless.

While social media has been around now for many years, business owners thought it would be a "passing fad" that would peak and disappear over time.
That debate has been answered by the sheer growth and noise of Twitter, Pinterest and new visual platforms like Periscope and formally Blab.
Many small business owners now find themselves at a precipice of knowing they need to become a player in the social media world, but where to begin?
There are social media gurus galore all wanting to take your money and offer you instant results, gratification.
Hello…..are they really about to give you instant results?
Social media, like any form of advertising takes time, testing, experience and some money. As a small business owner myself, I well know that there are no short cuts in a effective social media campaign. You will need to spend time educating yourself and some money to get your name seen by your target audience.
So…..where does a small business begin?
Are they male or are they female?
Do they have a hobby?
What are their worries that keep them up at night?
Can you answer all of the above questions?
Know your ideal customer or client.
Sit down for 10-30 minutes and think about only one of your ideal customers.
This could be an existing or a new customer…..
Answer all of the questions above.
What problems do they experience that your business can solve?
Now you have a clear picture of your ideal customer and the solutions your business can offer them.
You can decide which social media platform will suit your business, should you blog (you have a number of topics) or start a business podcast.
Download the podcast of this article instead!
I offer one to one consultations for small businesses on what social media should they can use and how to begin a blog.

The circular economy is a generic term designating an economic concept which is part of sustainable development and particularly inspired notions of green economy, economy of use or functionality of the economy , economic performance and industrial ecology (which means that the waste from one industry will be recycled as raw material by another industry or the same).
Its aim is to produce goods and services while greatly limiting the consumption and waste of raw materials and sources of non-renewable energy.
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (created to promote circular economy), it is an industrial economy which is, by design or intent, restorative and in which material flows are of two kinds well separated; biological nutrients for re-enter safely in biosphere, and technology entrants ("technical nutrients"), designed to be recycled remaining a high level of quality, without entering in the biosphere.
Many countries are implementing some support for circular economy, sometimes marked by example in Switzerland, where the Canton of Geneva has written it into its constitution, Japan (via a Framework Act) or in Scotland or in the city Roubaix where there is a zero waste policy). China has announced plans to develop 100 "model cities" in the field ... A tour of the circular economy proposed by Olivier Dubigeon world.
The European Commission announced December 16, 2014 that will introduce in its 2015 agenda a review of the legislation on waste to make an ambitious legislative package on circular economy, but on February 25 the project was abandoned by the college of new Commissioners "because of a lack of agreement on its content at European Council level," even though this project was "supported by companies, and a majority of MEPs and environment ministers," despite "anger" of local authorities, the official support (notably manifested by a joint letter signed on December a, 2014) a dozen states (and their environment ministers) and the accession of major local authorities (the Committee of Regions in particular strongly requested his return (mid February 2015). The Committee of Regions request at least the urgent implementation of five measures:. prohibit the landfilling of recyclable and biodegradable waste on 1 January 2025, adopt a single rule calculating recycling rates across the EU, use of recycled products in product-marketing, set ambitious targets in terms of bio-waste recycling and resource productivity (at least 30% increase by 2030). A representative of the Commission announced at Bercy, January 22, 2015, that the package would not be "abandoned" but "revamped" to "encourage the use of labels and eco-design."
Now there is a new, more comprehensive & ambitious plan that Commissioners' are presenting. This agenda is essential for EU economy, for jobs in the future, for the environment - for sustainability on all levels: economic, social and environmental. The future is not in low-wage production, the future is not in making things with finite components. The future is providing services to the citizens in a long-term process. Services that then materialize in products, instead of the other way around, and products that are used and re-used time and time again, so that you reduce the use of raw materials and don't deplete the earth's natural resources. Circular economy - investments for the future! (EU statement)

Dick Foster Leaves Behind Incredible Volunteering Legacy in New Jersey
By Greg Bates, 12/20/19, 8:15AM MST
Foster spent nearly five decades helping grow Garden State hockey before passing away last month at 87
The Metropolitan Junior Hockey League's Lifetime Achievement Award is reserved to extremely select company.
So, when Dick Foster earned the award in 1994, the longtime hockey volunteer was honored beyond belief. But he didn't retire from volunteering at that point. Not by a long shot.
"Then he decides to stick around another quarter century," said Glenn Hefferan, president of the Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association. "Dick would joke about that, 'I'm working on my second lifetime achievement award.'"
Foster liked to joke around, but he was always serious when it came to hockey. He was a volunteer up until the day he passed away, Nov. 2, in Manahawkin, New Jersey. The 87-year-old logged nearly 50 years of volunteering for hockey organizations on the East Coast as well as with USA Hockey.
"Unheard of," said Gene Palecco commissioner of the Atlantic Youth Hockey League. "I know I can't do it. I have 20 years in and to think I'd have another 30, I'd be 80. I probably won't live that long."
Foster's list of hockey duties over the years is quite impressive. He served as the Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association vice president from the mid-1970s until 1992 and then was a director emeritus. In 1992, Foster was named to the USA Hockey Junior Council where he spent 25 years. He was Atlantic Metropolitan Hockey League commissioner from 1990 until the day he died.
Foster had his biggest honor bestowed on him in January 2018 when he received the Dr. John McMullen Award, which is given by the New Jersey Devils for those who support amateur hockey throughout the state. Foster was one of three recipients that day along with former AAHA President Jim Plunkett.
"It was an honor to be able to do that with him," Plunkett said.
Said Hefferan: "That was an incredible day. I know it meant the world to him. I watched him cry."
Those who knew Foster well describe him a mentor in every sense of the word. He was also someone who would do all the behind-the-scenes work and not look for any recognition.
"He was a big-hearted, big brother, elderly statesman kind of guy," Plunkett said. "At the same time, he was fun. He had a heart of gold. He helped so many kids behind the scenes that few people know about. He would always just operate with the idea that kids have to come first and whatever we can do to help them further the game of hockey."
Foster lived most of his life in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, where he and his wife, Elaine, raised five sons, all who played hockey at an elite level, including Kevin, who was part of the 1982 U.S. team that skated at the World Junior Championship. The Fosters also helped raised a sixth "son," Tom Preville.

"When you've gone through all of that, you would think that by the time your youngest would be done, you'd be done," Hefferan said. "Not for him. He wanted to be involved, he was always asked to stay and remain involved. Pretty remarkable that no one ever challenged him in any of his elections. Everyone respected his opinion. They didn't always have to agree with him, but he was so well regarded and respected."
By day, Foster was a business attorney. Taking part in all the hockey activities really shifted his focus to more fun activities. But his law background provided Foster with a solid knowledge base that helped tremendously in building a hockey league.
"He knew every trick in the book," Hefferan said. "He had a great sense of humor, but he was very compassionate and had a lot of wisdom. He was very careful in measuring how he wanted to respond to things and how to address problems and how to problem solve. He had a great mind of those kinds of things that could come up in the world of hockey."
Along with his wife, kids and friends, hockey was Foster's life. He wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
"The foundation that it gave his family is what drove the passion," Palecco said. "All his kids played; his wife was involved in it. It was always some place he could go home and call family."
Foster leaves quite a legacy on the hockey communities in the Atlantic District.
"I think there are going to be many times now that we will say, 'Boy, I wish Dick Foster was here to ask his opinion,'" Hefferan said. "He was not a very verbose person, but when he spoke, he really spoke with authority and sensibility and logic. That's kind of something we need more today than ever because the sport has become very passionate and emotional for some people where they lose a little objectivity. Dick was always that grounding force."
There is a celebration of life planned for Foster on Dec. 21 at 3 p.m. at the Glen Ridge Country Club. Plunkett will be there to honor a close friend who helped fuel his own passion for hockey.
"I expect it to be a very large affair," Plunkett said. "He was so well loved."
