Cole Rejects 'No-Fly No-Buy,' Calls Sit-in by Dems 'Destructive'
By Sandy Fitzgerald | Thursday, 23 June 2016 10:30 AM
Rep. Tom Cole and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough Thursday morning squared off about the nation's "no-fly" list, with the "Morning Joe" host demanding to know why the procedure making up the list isn't changed if the list is too flawed to determine who should be allowed to buy guns.
"It's worth noting had any of these laws passed they wouldn't have stopped anything that happened in Orlando," the Oklahoma Republican said on the program. "The idea that there's some magic legislative fix to what's a deep social, cultural problem I think is an illusion. And frankly I think it's a situation where the Democrats have exploited this tragedy for political purposes."
Cole, on the show as House Democrats continued their sit-in to push for votes on laws concerning gun control measures, said he didn't know why the House would even want to vote on a measure that did not pass in the Senate earlier in the week, as it could not become law, anyway.
"This is all about, as the Speaker [Paul Ryan] said, publicity, a stunt," Cole said on the program. 'It was, I would say, very disrespectful, very destructive and in the end self-defeating."
Meanwhile, he argued, there are people working on cleaning up the nation's no-fly lists, which have at times included names including that of late Sen. Ted Kennedy and even of Georgia Rep. John Lewis, one of the Democrats speaking out during the House sit-in.
Cleaning up the list, argued Cole, won't be done with "stunts" on the House floor, but with "serious legislation introduced and usually worked on in a bipartisan manner," Cole said.
And once someone gets on the no-fly list, it's hard to get off it, and becomes an "incredible invasion of your rights as an individual," said Cole.
"Then why don't we get rid of the list if it's so bad?" asked Scarborough. "I don't understand. Why have the list at all?"
He continued that the argument about the list is the same he hears about background checks being so "terribly flawed" they can't be fixed.
Cole responded by saying that the list is deeply flawed.
"Almost everybody on that list is a foreigner and not able to buy a firearm in America anyway," said Cole. "We're talking about a small population of Americans on the list. It depends whether you're talking no fly list or terrorist watch list, there's a lot of complexity here. "
"Maybe we should get rid of it," said Scarborough. "It's not complex. You're saying this is a terrible list."
But when Scarborough asked Cole it would make sense that he and other lawmakers do their jobs and make the list better 'so we make sure people on that terror watch list can't go in and by an AR-15 and mow down people in Oklahoma" the representative reminded him that he does know something about terrorism.
"I lived through an incident in Oklahoma City," said Cole, referencing the domestic terrorist bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in 1995. "The largest in American history."
And, he said he believes federal authorities are trying to prevent another Oklahoma City, but the terror watch list and no-fly lists must be accurate."
"This is my point, Congressman," said Scarborough. "Fix the list."

Fauci: Serving in Trump Admin Was 'Somewhat Awkward'
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a recent interview . . .
At the end of Donald Trump's presidency, television networks left the mute button unused. They covered Trump's farewell . . .


FC Porto maintained its lead of the Portuguese league after drawing at second-place Sporting Lisbon 0-0 on Sunday. The result kept Porto two points in front of Sporting, and five points ahead of third-place Benfica.
Porto was the only team with a perfect record after having won its first seven league games. Benfica's Jonas put the defending champions ahead only two minutes into the game but Maritimo equalized early in the second half for a 1-1 draw.

Ready to buy a new home in Llanrumney? Failing to check that a lawyer is on your lender's list of approved solicitors can put your Llanrumney transaction at risk of delay or failure.
Only LenderPanel.com provides a subset of authorised Llanrumney conveyancers for over 130 lenders.
Is the fact that my conveyancer in Llanrumney is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Llanrumney conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Llanrumney who is on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Llanrumney.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom apartment in Llanrumney with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland.We like our Llanrumney conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland informed us his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Llanrumney and Solicitor practices in Llanrumney offering conveyancing It is important to make clear that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. They may both also handle other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
Are all Llanrumney Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
When it comes to lenders such as Lloyds, do Llanrumney solicitors face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Llanrumney is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Llanrumney are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Llanrumney you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanrumney may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.


We talk a lot about networking as an important factor in an L.LM. student's success, but there is another much-overlooked element that many L.LM. students are blissfully unaware of—coachability.
Coachability refers to our capacity to solicit, receive, and integrate feedback. Those who are coachable appreciate that there are other ways to approach situations and that there are things that we can learn from others. Being coachable is not a sign of weakness or vulnerability; it is, to the contrary, a sign of fortitude.
As a foreign LL.M. student who may not yet have spent any considerable time in the U.S., there are many things that we need to learn. Culture in general, but especially business culture, is quite different from that in other countries. It took me quite some time to find my groove here in the U.S. and I am still learning.
We all know people who lack the ability to be coached. These people would rather remain convinced of their correctness than improve what they do. They refuse to take personal responsibility for their actions; they resist feedback by being defensive or making excuses; they blame others for their shortcomings; they lack general interest in self-assessment or self-improvement; they are not receptive to change or to learning new things or new approaches; and they exude a sense of negativity and pessimism. LL.M. students with these traits will get stuck somewhere along their pursuit in the U.S.
Those who are coachable, however, possess endless potential. They embrace a commitment to learning and improving; they accept responsibility for their behavior and do not look to place blame or responsibility on others; they demonstrate a strong sense of self-awareness by recognizing their own weaknesses; they demonstrate tolerance for a high degree of candor by soliciting, actively listening to, synthesizing, and integrating constructive feedback.
Coachable LL.M. students are willing to learn new things and ways of doing things, and to go outside their comfort zone and engage in discussions that might be uncomfortable; and they appreciate the perspectives of others, which they view as opportunities to learn and grow.
Have you ever had a conversation with someone who was seeking advice or assistance, and who had a "but" response or counterargument to every suggestion you offered? These LLM students are not easily coachable. They are not truly looking for advice or solutions, they are looking for validation, and when they do not receive it they become defensive. Others who are not coachable are those who always have excuses and explanations for missteps.
Being coachable requires that we accept that there are things that we do not know. And as a foreign L.LM. student in the U.S., there are many things we do not know. Consequently, there must be people whose judgment we come to trust so deeply and inherently that we accept their guidance even when we are unable to appreciate its wisdom. Have confidence in those whose judgment you value and learn to be coachable.

Dubai Holding Commercial Operations profit jumps 25 per cent in 2015
Dubai Holding unit said said growth was supported by TECOM and Jumeirah
by Robert Anderson
Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group, a business unit of Dubai Holding, announced a 25 per cent increase in net profit on Saturday to Dhs 5.83bn.
The group said it was targeting an annual profit of Dhs 10bn in four years.
The company's revenue was up 15 per cent to Dhs 14.53bn compared to Dhs 12.63 billion a year ago.
This growth was supported by the strong performance of business units including TECOM, Jumeirah and Dubai Properties, according to the group.
TECOM saw an 11 per cent increase in registered companies at its business parks last year reaching more than 5,100.
Dubai Properties launched three new real estate projects and handed over more than 800 residential units, according to Dubai Holding. It also saw 98 per cent occupancy across its 15,000-unit leasing portfolio.
"Dubai Holding continues to make big strides in its successful strategy aimed at creating an innovation driven knowledge-based economy. This is in line with Dubai's long-term ambition to transform into the smartest and most productive city in the world," said chairman Mohammad Abdulla Al Gergawi.

Trouble Ahead! Detour!
Posted by MLToday | Aug 18, 2020 | Commentary | 0
By Greg Godels
There is little good news to digest in the US.
We are deep in the midst of an epidemiological crisis, with the US leading the world in infections and deaths. The daily totals have grown to 65,000 or more infections and over 1,100 deaths. To give context to the numbers, the total number of US Covid-19 deaths so far this year amounts to over 22% of all the US battle deaths since 1775. In the worst year of the Vietnam War (1968), combat deaths averaged over 1,400 per month. Those monthly totals are surpassed today in a day and a half, with the virus killing the most vulnerable, especially the elderly, African Americans, Latinos y Latinas, and the poor.
The US is losing the war against the coronavirus.
US infections account for as much as one-fourth of all infections globally, an embarrassing number for the supposed wealthiest country in the world, the self-styled beacon of democracy. How can a state claim to be democratic that cannot minimally guarantee the health and safety of its most vulnerable citizens? How can a state lecture, even intervene in other states to bring them the bounty to be won by emulating the US?
If democracy has anything at all to do with delivering the will of the people, then it must answer to the poor US showing against the coronavirus. A robust democracy would deliver a robust public health service, a universal and comprehensive system available to all, and not a broken, overwhelmed, profit-infected, catch-as-catch-can, class-privileged monstrosity. A real democracy would recall the failed career politicians, deny the soulless lobbyists, and sweep away the preening consultants who pollute our political system.
The failed response to the coronavirus is only one aspect of the acute political crisis sweeping the US. With a little over three months to the national election, the two-party circus is reaching new lows. What has been a bi-partisan fiasco in response to the virus, has been politicized into universal finger-pointing. Democrats overlook the disastrous earlier outcomes in New York, much of New England, and now in California, while witlessly blaming Trump. Republicans refuse ownership of the deadly results coming from states suffering Republican governance, while boasting of mindless allegiance to Trump. And President Trump stumbles through contradiction after contradiction, while candidate Biden wins support through reticence, with a shamefully inadequate answer to the coronavirus.
When not blaming each other, the two parties blame The People's Republic of China (PRC).
With the compliance of the media, the two parties are ginning up a new Cold War hysteria against PRC and Russia unlike any seen since the missile-gap panic of the early 1960s. Trump and Biden are sparring over who can produce the tougher policy against PRC. This senseless conflict can only end in disaster for the world.
It's increasingly clear that the anti-PRC project reflects the growing consensus among US elites that the PRC economy is dynamic and resilient and the US economy is declining, posing a threat to US global dominance. Nor is it a secret that previously secure ties to international "friends" are fraying. While the UK remains supplicant, Germany, France, and many other allies are reluctant to turn on PRC or Russia, and resent the US's demands for conformity. A stronger PRC and a weaker US will only accelerate this trend. The US is an empire in decline.
Trump's previous renegacy — rapprochement with Russia, the DPRK, and PRC, deserting NATO, leaving Syria and Afghanistan, etc.– has been tempered or extinguished by the security services, the military, and the political Old Guard, leaving him an unconventional, conventional politician. Domestically, his tax policies won the allegiance of Wall Street and the super-rich, dispelling the illusion that the ruling class could not live with him, his vulgarity, and his ill manners.
While it may be understandable that sectors of the working class would have viewed him as representing an alternative to the unfriendly globalist, corporate vision offered by the Democratic Party, that illusion should now be crushed as well. And as his poll numbers shrink, his "wilding"– his erratic behavior — only intensifies. In conventional times, Trump would be a dead fish.
But this is not a conventional time. The Democrats have attributed their past failures to intervention and subversion. The last refuge for a decadent political party is to place the blame elsewhere: Julian Assange, Wikileaks, dirty tricks, RussiaGate, the Chinese, etc. etc. The Democrats have no electoral strategy other than to ridicule and demonize Trump. Their pre-convention set of issues is unremarkable. It will be further diluted when it becomes a platform. And it will be turned into tepid dishwater when it becomes policy, should Biden be elected. This is a pattern repeated election after election, and Democratic Party loyalists learn nothing from it.
Looming over the election like an ominous storm cloud is a US economic crisis of unprecedented potential. Despite the stock market's seeming independence from any reality, the collapse of employment and economic activity is real.
Just as pundits think they see a flash of light from amongst the billowing clouds, the coronavirus strangles any tentative economic recovery. In the US, the great contradiction of 2020 is between a sinking economy and the deeply ingrained, wide-spread ideology of immediate satisfaction and narrow, individual self-interest that produces and reproduces tens of thousands defying the virus protocols. Decades of voracious, immoderate consumerism and the demagoguery of unqualified, personal rights have produced an allergy to selfless collective action.
But the coronavirus is ideologically biased: it retreats before rational collective action and advances against self-centered, self-serving choices. Thus, the dogma of liberty as action without restraint, reason, or responsibility so widely preached in the US since the country's birth comes face-to-face with a danger that devours its true believers.
Since the 1980s, finance capital has accounted for a greater and greater share of putative US economic activity. The character of that activity is further and further removed from productive activity and more and more engaged in accumulating and valorizing the chits of future and potential economic activity (speculation). Obviously, the viability of this process rests on thin subjective factors: public confidence. In a moment, economic disruptions can wash away the necessary confidence, resulting in a collapse as occurred in 2000-2001 and 2007-2009. We are there again.
Of course capitalism is resilient. But the disruptions of 2020 are far more dangerous than in the past, unleashing enormous, latent deflationary pressures. As investor and consumer confidence recedes, speculative "values" come into question, further eroding confidence and perceived value. A deflationary spiral ensues. And the tools available to Central Banks and Treasuries are depleted and less effective today.
If there is an encouraging development in the US, it is the remarkable burst of anti-racism activism that has spread from major urban areas to small Midwestern towns.
Impressively, white people in large numbers have joined, even organized these actions which began as outrage at police violence against Black people and enlarged to tackle the systemic racism of US society. This may well be the most significant counter to the crisis of racial justice since the Civil Rights Movement of the last century.
As a result of these actions, US public opinion has undergone a striking shift. A recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll (July 9-12) shows that 56% of the US people "hold the view that American society is racist"!
Significantly, the most popular explanation for US racism with respondents was: "People of color experience discrimination because it is built into our society, including into our policies and institutions."
In addition, 57% of the people surveyed "totally" support the "protests and demonstrations" that emerged after George Floyd's murder.
Other significant findings of the survey include:
● 75% of respondents "are encouraged that America is finally addressing long standing issues about racism in our society and working to ensure that all Americans are treated equally."
● 71% of respondents "feel angry because our political system seems to only be working for the insiders with money and power, like those on Wall Street or in Washington, rather than it working for everyday people to get ahead." [This number has only slightly changed since 2015].
● 50% of respondents "feel concerned that the protests on racial issues are creating social unrest and bringing too much change to the country, including erasing America's history and significant figures in the country's story."
Arguably, there has never been a time in US history when a majority deemed US society to be racist and supported street action to oppose the injustices associated with racial injustice.
Surely this moment offers great opportunity and should not be wasted.
Fundamental to seizing this moment is clarity about the essence of racism, avoiding false steps, dead ends, and foolishness. Too many of today's anti-racism warriors scratch away at the margins, confusing language, symbols, and postures with racial inequality. They attack straw men, words, statues, and buildings rather than the many barriers to equality. They fail to grasp that jobs, homes, security, and health are the substance of racial equality, and not the attitudes and interactions that spring from inequality. In the immortal words of the great Nina Simone: "You don't have to live next to me, just give me my equality."
Sensitivity training, street drama, and verbal hand-wringing will not remove the burden of low income, the absence of wealth, decaying neighborhoods, poor schools, and inadequate health care. They require political and economic solutions, redistributive solutions. The polls show that the US people are ready for a modern version of "forty acres and a mule," a dedicated and effective round of economic affirmative action. Are the politicians? The leaders? The pundits?
If this potentially historic moment is not to be lost, it must not be appropriated by Democratic Party politicians bent on using it as a bludgeon against the Republicans and subsequently cast aside. It must not serve as a frivolous expression of youthful rebelliousness, only to offend the forces now supportive of fundamental change.
The interdependence of these four crises— epidemiological, political, economic, and racial– offer a unique opportunity to enact fundamental change in the US. Does anyone believe that either Biden or Trump is up to the task?
The challenge requires a mature, committed, and ideologically sound Left to drive it. It is hard to disagree with BAR's Glen Ford: "…the U.S. Left is so weak, it has been unable to put forward a narrative that explains the multiple crises that have been so devastating to the American people, or to even minimally fulfill our obligations in solidarity with victims of U.S. imperialism around the world."
But that doesn't change the urgent need to now forge a Left that understands the severity of the crisis, a Left that has a vision beyond capitalism, a Left that has a well formed notion of a socialist future, and a Left that has a proposal on how to get there. That is the job before us.

Consumer Reports Praises AirPods Pro Sound Quality, Noise Cancellation Features, but Rates It Below Samsung's Galaxy Buds
By Omar Sohail
Despite being outright impossible to repair, Apple's AirPods Pro are generally well-received for superior audio quality as well as nifty features to further deliver that stellar sound experience. Now Consumer Reports is here with its own AirPods Pro review and while it gives due praise to the new product, it's still not the best for customers.
Surprisingly, Galaxy Buds Does Not Offer Noise Cancellation Like the AirPods Pro and Still Gets a Higher Rating
Shortly after praising the iPhone 11 Pro Max, Consumer Reports says the improvements in the AirPods Pro are quite evident, in both design and sound quality.
AirPods Pro Work Just Fine with 10-Year Old iPhone 3GS, Noise Cancelling and All
"The AirPods Pro sound really good. Like a majority of Bluetooth headphones, the Pros still might not suit the most critical audiophiles. But the significant improvement in sound paired with the features consumers love from the older AirPods should make this model a serious contender if you're in the market for a pair of true wireless earphones."
Consumer Reports also says that the AirPods Pro's noise-canceling feature works great and blocks out ambient noise for when you want to have an enjoyable listening experience. The review also stated that while Apple didn't create the Transparency feature first, it works very well with the AirPods Pro, especially when users want to switch between this mode and noise cancellation. As for battery life, Consumer Reports states it's more or less the same compared to Apple's second-generation AirPods, but you're getting more features in return for that same battery endurance.
Sadly, AirPods Pro received a review score of 75, and while that puts Apple's product at a higher ranking than Amazon's Echo Buds at 65, it's lower than Samsung's Galaxy Buds, which don't even feature noise-cancellation.
"The Echo Buds, Amazon's new noise-canceling true wireless headphones, didn't score quite as well in our tests, but they're solid performers and far cheaper at $130. And while the AirPods Pro sound far better than Apple's earlier models, they still don't meet the audio quality of our top pick for true wireless sound, the Samsung Galaxy Buds, which also sell for around $130. (They aren't noise-canceling.)"
Regardless, Consumer Reports says that if you're in the market for wireless earbuds, the AirPods Pro will easily be the choice for most people. Speaking of choices, if you want to know the detailed differences between Apple's AirPods Pro and regular AirPods, be sure to read our comparison.

Savlon
Savlon is a brand of antibacterial personal care products with the active ingredients of cetrimide and chlorhexidine gluconate.[1] Commonly sold as a cream, the product range also includes antiseptic sprays, sticking plasters and other antiseptic products.
INN: Cetrimide and chlorhexidine gluconate
Combination of
Chlorhexidine gluconate
https://www.drugs.com/uk/savlon-antiseptic-cream-leaflet.html
UK: General sales list (GSL, OTC)
The product name is derived from the original Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) manufacturing site name of the Avlon Works at Avonmouth near Bristol, UK on the Severn Estuary.
Savlon is sold in many countries, with different manufacturing and licensing agreements.
In 1992, Johnson & Johnson acquired the Savlon OTC brands from ICI.[2] Since then, Johnson & Johnson manufactures and distributes Savlon products throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2015, Johnson & Johnson sold Indian rights to the Savlon and Shower To Shower brands to ITC Limited.[3]
Also in 1992, ICI sold its Bangladesh rights to Savlon to ICI Bangladesh Manufacturers Limited, now ACI Limited.[4]
In June 2019, STADA Group of Germany acquired UK rights to Savlon from GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Products for its UK subsidiary Thornton & Ross.[5]
Savlon antiseptic liquid 250 ml flask.
FormulationEdit
The active ingredients in Savlon products are two antiseptics, cetrimide and chlorhexidine gluconate.[1] These agents were discovered and first developed by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI).[6]
Savlon is commonly sold as an antiseptic liquid. It is used for cleansing and prevention of infection in skin lesions, including small cuts and blisters and minor burns, and is useful in first aid kits. Other items sold in the Savlon range include hygiene soap, antiseptic cream and healing gel. Savlon's antiseptic liquid comes in the SKU sizes of 75 ml, 125 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 750 ml and 2 L. In Australia, Savlon was acquired by Reckitt Benckiser after its takeover of Boots Healthcare (International) in late 2005. Sometime after that date, at least as far back as 2016, Reckitt Benckiser changed the Savlon cream formulation slightly - possibly as a cost saving, causing the product to "liquefy" inside the tube, leading to wastage and making it difficult to apply. All complaints to the company to resume the original formulation have so far fell on deaf ears. NOTE: This only applies to Savlon sold in Australia and New Zealand, manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser Australia. the UK and Indian versions of Savlon are NOT made by this company and are NOT affected.

I loved this book it was very inspirational and my favorite character was Summer. I recommend this book for ages 8 and up. It is probably one of my favorite books and I really want to see the movie which is coming out in November!
I would highly recommend this book to all ages. It has quite a lot of comedy and drama both at the same time involved in it. It is about bullying and how you shouldn't judge someone by their face. I wonder if it is a true story. This book is a heartwarming book.
Wonder is a book about a normal boy who has a face abnormality. This shouldn't stop him from being liked by others, but it does. He goes through phases of friends, some real, some there just because they were told to. I like the way this book is written; it changes who is narrating every few chapters. The perspectives of the person narrating changes how you look at the characters, which helps the story move along. After reading this book, I realised that what you look like on the outside doesn't matter, it's only the inside that counts. I would recommend this book to 10-13 year olds.

Amazon's fresh $1B investment in India is not a big favor, says India trade minister
India's trade minister isn't impressed with Amazon's new $1 billion investment in the country.
A day after Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos announced that his company is pumping in an additional $1 billion into its India operations, making the total local investment to date to $6.5 billion, the nation's trade minister Piyush Goyal said Amazon's investment was not a big favor to India.
"They may have put in a billion dollars but then if they make a loss of a billion dollars every year then they jolly well have to finance that billion dollars," Goyal said in a conference Thursday organized by think tank Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi. "So it's not as if they are doing a great favor to India when they invest a billion dollars."
The remark from the Indian minister comes days after India's antitrust watchdog announced a probe into Amazon India and Walmart-owned Flipkart's alleged predatory practices.
Bezos, who is in India this week, has sought to meet with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but his request has not been approved yet, a person familiar with the matter told TechCrunch.
Goyal reiterated that foreign e-commerce players would have to abide by the local law if they want to continue to operate in the nation. He said the watchdog's allegations were "an area of concern for every Indian."

Hop on board—and go almost anywhere—with public transit on Google Maps
David Tattersall
Product Manager, Public Transit
More than 70 percent of the world's population doesn't own a car1—a surprising fact for anyone who's sat for what seems like hours on end in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Millions of people rely on public transit to get around. That's why, since 2007, we've worked to include public transit routes and schedules in Google Maps. In fact, buses, trains, trams and subways included in Google Maps travel 200 million kilometers every day—that's the equivalent of driving every single road in the world three times!2
Today, Google Maps is helping you get around on public transit even more easily with these additions:
We've added every single transit route in Great Britain to Google Maps—making it easier to get anywhere from Land's End to John O'Groats.
On the other side of the globe, Vancouverites looking for sun can now get real-time updates on whether a bus to Kits is faster than one to Third Beach.
In Chicago, Cubs fans can now zip to and from Wrigley Field, armed with the real-time information they need to hop on a bus and avoid congestion on Lake Shore Drive.
And finally, just in time for the games, we've recently added transit information for every host city in Brazil. Can you say "GOOOAAALLLLL?!"
Our transit data spans six continents, 64 countries and more than 15,000 towns and cities worldwide. And we're not done yet: Google Maps will continue to improve—serving people the information they need to get around town when and where they need it.
1 This estimate is based on the most recent World Bank data on the number of passenger cars per 1,000 people throughout 100 countries and territories. Passenger cars refer to road motor vehicles, other than two-wheelers, intended for the carriage of passengers and designed to seat no more than nine people (including the driver).

Effect of a Popular Movie Streaming Brand: A New Era of Subtitling Services
Posted by Gummy Tran on January 21, 2022.
When it comes to hitting the quality of dubbing, closed captioning, and subtitling services in different languages, Netflix is a trendsetter. Subtitle quality has been hit or miss in the Over the Top (OTT) streaming industry in the past.
Netflix has set a high standard for competitors to meet. The company doesn't always get it perfect, but it provides subtitles and dubbed content in many languages other than English, making it well competitive in the industry.
Let's discover how Netflix has become the industry standard for subtitling and dubbing for streaming services and discuss a few of its guidelines for translators.
Netflix Has Raised the Bar on Dubbing and Subtitling Services
Disney+ and Netflix, for example, provide subtitles and audio tracks in various languages for a large percentage of their titles, even the unknown ones. There are times when you can only get dubbing or subtitles, but there are plenty of choices for every language. Spanish films, for example, are subtitled in French, and Norwegian films are dubbed in Dutch.
On the other hand, Hulu has Spanish dubbing for a tiny minority of its movies and TV shows, as well as all of its original programming. Audio and subtitling are available in German, Spanish, and other languages on AppleTV+. However, its limited library consists of acquired or original titles that pale compared to Hulu or Netflix.
So, how does Netflix manage to provide such a diverse range of translation options?
What Netflix offers the Industry
In recent years, global demand for online media has skyrocketed. International viewers have flocked to streaming services. Hiring professional dubbing and subtitle translation companies for films, series, and specials can increase the appeal of Netflix and other streaming services, which can enhance their income stream by focusing on localized content.
The more Languages, the more Users
The addition of global original content and additional languages to Netflix increased membership. As a result, the streaming service continued to invest in localized content, and you can now watch Netflix in 27 languages and more. This resulted in a 50% boost in subscriptions within two years.
Subtitling services are frequently initiated with an English script. This is used as a guide by the translator when creating localized material. This is not the same as a word-for-word translation. Translators attempt to give content a regional flavor to make it more digestible for global audiences. Nevertheless, the priority is always to maintain the original content's creative vision.
Netflix Quality Standards for Subtitling services
When it comes to subtitles, dubbing, and closed caption translations, Netflix follows strict guidelines. The corporation is also considering using AI and NPL solutions to provide translators with a better starting point.
It should be noted that, when available, Netflix usually accepts the subtitles provided by the content provider.
#1. Duration
Netflix specifies the minimum and maximum lengths of subtitle events. For 24fps filming, the minimum duration is five-sixths of a second or 20 frames. The maximum time allowed is 7 seconds.
#2. File Format for Subtitling services
The firm uses subtitle files in TTML1 format (.xml or. ttml). Japanese translations must be saved and transmitted in IMSC1.1 format (.xml).
#3. Glyph List
Glyphs are nonstandard characters that include punctuation, numbers, and currency symbols. Accented vowels and language-specific characters are also included. The NETFLIX Glyph List contains a list of accepted glyphs.
#4. Line Treatment
Everyone using Netflix and turned on subtitling knows that no more than two lines of text appear simultaneously. Netflix clarifies that only one line should be used. Here are some guidelines for dividing subtitles into two lines:
Break the line after punctuation marks, prepositions, and conjunctions.
Keep first and last names together and do not separate a noun from an adjective or article.
A subject pronoun and verb should not be separated, and a prepositional verb should be kept with its preposition.
Keep verbs and their auxiliary verbs, negations, and reflexive pronouns together.
#5. Positioning
All subtitles should be centered at the top or bottom of the screen. (Japanese translations can be vertically positioned.)
#6. Netflix Originals Credit Translations
Title card translations must include both full and forced subtitle streams. For more information, consult the Originals Credit translation guide.
#7. Title Cards
Subtitles are also used for title cards and dedications. "Based on True Events" or "In Loving Memory of John Doe" are two examples.
#8. Currency and Brand Names
The currency should not be changed for localized viewers by subtitlers. For example, if the characters speak in euros, you would not translate this to USD for American viewers.
Use well-known English-language brands or a generic term for the product being discussed. Is the brand known by another name in the region for which you're translating? If so, make use of it.
#9. Quotes
Paraphrase quotes to avoid copyright infringement. If the translation is in the public domain or you have documented permission from the copyright holder, you can use the translation verbatim.
#10. Translator Credits
To avoid copyright infringement, use quotations. You may use the translation verbatim if it is in the public domain or if you have documented permission from the copyright holder.

Plans released in 2002 for a casino resort in Diamondhead show a mix of amenities incorporating the waterfront. Diamondhead Casino Corp. has put all or part of the 404-acre site up for sale.
The 400-acre site between the interstate and the Bay of St. Louis caught the eye of Donald Trump and several other developers, but unable to find a partner or get financing to build a casino, the owner has put the property up for sale.
Diamondhead Casino Corp. has the largest and some say the best casino site in South Mississippi. The land sits along 2 miles of shoreline on the bay and has 2 miles of frontage along Interstate 10, east of the Diamondhead exit. It would be the only Coast casino directly on I-10 and would be 30 minutes closer to Louisiana than the Biloxi casinos.
A portion of the land won site approval from the Mississippi Gaming Commission in 2014.
"The only reason we put it up for sale is we owe people money and we have to pay them," said Deborah Vitale, Diamondhead president.
The company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission it has signed a 6-month agreement to sell all or part of the property. The contract with Newmark Knight Frank, an American real estate brokerage with international offices, extends through Oct. 31.
Diamondhead Casino Corp. can continue to look for a partner to build a casino, Vitale said.
"Our primary focus is to find a joint venture partner," she said. Beyond that, she said the company would prefer to sell portions of the land rather than the entire 400 acres.
Vitale envisions a large mixed-use resort with a boardwalk along the water and plenty of acres for a variety of amenities that no other casino site can offer, she said. The property is surrounded by airports at Diamondhead, Gulfport and New Orleans.
"Donald loves this property," said Vitale, who held a letter of agreement with Trump in 2006 to build a casino on 40 acres. Trump pulled out of the project a year later.
Casinos Austria International Holding also was interested in developing the site before the recession began locally in 2009.
Phoenix Gaming and Entertainment LLC later signed a letter of intent to buy 25 acres for $1 million an acre to build a casino, but the deal ended in 2011 when Phoenix was unable to secure financing for the project.
Unlike that other projects proposed on the Coast, "We have site approval and we're still here," Vitale said.

Getting on and Going forward With Jo Brand
June 3, 2016 June 3, 2016 annejjacobson1 Comment
(Semi-apologies to all of you who are familiar with Brand's comedy. I have no idea of her, and I was impressed.)
During a very full ten days in the UK I did manage to use a BBC iplayer, on which one can watch reruns of current shows, and some past ones. One show that was quite amazing was the first episode of Jo Brand's new series, 'Going Forward'.
As the author and lead actor, Jo Brand puts it,
Having failed the auditions for Darts Players' Wives, it's lovely to slip into a glamorous lilac nurses tunic and step into the exotic world of community health care.
Or, as the BBC puts it,
Going Forward is a universal tale and holds a mirror to modern Britain and the sacrifices made as lives are put on hold for the sake of others. The unique series treads its own fine line between tragedy and triumph to add its own bittersweet voice to this well-trodden ground.
I don't think I've seen a British actor so disregard the conventions of female loveliness in role after role. Such a relief! The older series, Getting On, is on Hulu. You may have to have a taste for the very British form of potty-humor to enjoy it.
Judge hands down six-month sentence for sexual assault to avoid "severe impact" on assailant
June 3, 2016 June 3, 2016 philodaria3 Comments
The victim read a letter to her assailant regarding the impact this has had on her during the proceedings.
Via BuzzFeed:
One night in January 2015, two Stanford University graduate students biking across campus spotted a freshman thrusting his body on top of an unconscious, half-naked woman behind a dumpster. This March, a California jury found the former student, 20-year-old Brock Allen Turner, guilty of three counts of sexual assault. Turner faced a maximum of fourteen years in state prison. On Thursday, he was sentenced to six months in county jail and probation. The judge said he feared a longer sentence would have a "severe impact" on Turner, a champion swimmer who once aspired to swim in the Olympics — a detail repeatedly brought up during the trial.
On Thursday, Turner's victim addressed him directly, detailing the severe impact his actions had on her — from the night she learned she had been assaulted by a stranger while unconscious, to the grueling trial during which Turner's attorneys argued that she had eagerly consented.
The full letter the Stanford victim read to hear assailant describing the impact on her is posted at BuzzFeed. I was going to excerpt a quote, but the letter is so powerful and important, I just want to encourage you to read it in its entirety instead.
Gender and Just War Theory
June 3, 2016 jennysaul
Ethical theorists tend to discuss fighters in war in apparently gender-neutral language such as "combatants." This may (or may not) be an appropriate idealization for the purposes of clear-eyed ethical analysis. Still, the fact is that the combatant is culturally gendered masculine. Being a combatant is treated by actual people as occupying a gender role with a host of traits. The warrior is understood as more than a mere "combatant." First and foremost, he is a "he." In addition, he is tough, aggressive, unemotional, self-sacrificing, obedient to authority, and has authority over others, especially women.

Essex equalises female professors' pay
June 3, 2016 June 4, 2016 jennysaul3 Comments
The article title says "university wipes out gender pay gap with salary hike", but it looks to me like the raise is only for the female professors. For those who speak American, that's just the full professors. It COULD be that those were the only ones paid less, but it seems unlikely given the other stats in the article. Anyway, a move in the right direction!
UPDATE: I missed the bit in the article which said there weren't significant gaps at other pay grades.
Meena Krishnamurthy on Decolonising Philosophy
A story that I was often told as a student – indeed, one I have since retold my own students – is that contemporary analytic political philosophy began with John Rawls. After John Stuart Mill's work on utilitarianism in the 19th century there was no further work in political philosophy, the debate was considered settled, until the publication of Rawls's A Theory of Justice, which was foremost a rejection of Mill's utilitarianism.
I am not the only one who has been told this "standard story". As Charles Mills' notes, the standard story is one that is prevalent in the discipline and appears in works across analytic and continental political philosophy.[2]
I came to realize just how false this story was about two years ago.

Divided Harmonics is a Moscow-based musical collaboration between Sasha Martinsen and Paul Bokov (owner of Gliese 581C Records also known as Wrong Mantra). Their long-awaited full-length album Cryptic Moon Egregore is a result of a several-year-long special trippy sound development, expanding the traditional idea of downtempo music. Finalized material represents deep multilayered stuff that was the initial goal from the foundation of the band.
Melodies coming from the unknown depths. Good album.
can we please talk about how psychedelic this is?
I don't like the talking on tracks 1 and 5, but otherwise the music is enjoyable.
I still don't like tracks 1 and 5, but the other four tracks are VERY trippy.
Awesome sounding music and cool album cover! Thank you.


Dickson from dtwatches.com was a pleasure to work with. Fast email replies, good communication throughout the whole process (even checked in as soon as it was delivered). I bought a Tudor Oysterprince from him, and it was exactly as described and pictured.
Shipping from Hong Kong to Florida was very fast at just 5 business days door to door.
Hope to do business with him again!


The ss Rotterdam was built in Rotterdam, departed from Rotterdam and is now back in Rotterdam for good! The Rotterdam was built in 1959 and was the fifth ship by this name to sail for the Holland-America Line (HAL). It is one of the most well-known post-World War II Dutch passenger ships. It experienced the last decade of the transatlantic line and cruise ship service between 1959 and late 2000. The steamship has been moored at the Derde Katendrechtsehoofd in the Maashaven port in Rotterdam since 4 August 2008. It has been completely renovated in the style envisioned by the designers and interior decorators in the 1950s. It now serves as a floating multifunctional venue.
The Holland-America Line commissioned Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij NV (RDM) in Rotterdam to build the ship on 27 October 1955. The keel of the ship was laid on 14 December 1956 under construction number 300. The christening and launching on 13 September 1958 by Her Majesty Queen Juliana of the Netherlands attracted huge crowds, with tens of thousands of people lining both banks of the rivers to watch and take photographs of this momentous occasion. The new pride of the Dutch merchant fleet was christened with the words: 'I hereby name you the Rotterdam and I wish you a safe voyage.' The first sea trial was made in 1959 and the shipyard transferred the ship to the Holland-America Line on 20 August 1959.
For the first ten years, the Holland-America Line deployed the Rotterdam primarily for the Rotterdam – New York transatlantic route and as a cruise ship during the off season. The ship made its maiden voyage to New York in 1959. The Rotterdam made a cruise around the world in 1961 and 1962. The advertising slogan was 'around the world in eighty days'.
In the years that followed, air travel took the place of the transatlantic passenger line service. This is why Holland-America Line announced in 1968 that it would focus entirely on cruises and that the Rotterdam would consequently be refitted for this purpose. The ship returned to Rotterdam from its last transatlantic voyage on 3 October 1968 and was moved to the RDM for the renovation work. The renovations were completed in December and the ship once again set sail from Rotterdam for winter cruises in the Caribbean and summer cruises in Alaska.
The ship was acquired in 1997 by the US-based cruise company Premier Cruises, a company that envisioned a market for operating older second-hand ships with steam turbines.
The company rechristened the vessel Rembrandt with a view to maintaining the Dutch identity and loyal clients. Premier Cruises, however, unexpectedly encountered financial problems in 2000 and was declared bankrupt at the request of a US investment bank. The Rembrandt was moored in Freeport, the Bahamas.
'Stichting Behoud Stoomschip Rotterdam' (Steamship Rotterdam Foundation) was founded in April 2001. The foundation is committed to preserving the ship as maritime heritage. The objective of the foundation was to once again moor the ship in Rotterdam as a stationary attraction with a new function.
The US investment bank sold the ship to Rotterdamse Droogdok Maatschappij (RDM) in 2003. Following various inspections and inventories, it was decided in 2004 to tow the ship to Europe. The ship could not sail on its own power because too much work needed to be done on the propulsion installation. After being moored for three years and nine months, the Rotterdam left Freeport on the hawser of a tugboat on its way to Gibraltar, where the initial activities were carried out with the aim of saving the ship.
The ship changed ownership again in 2005: housing corporation Woonbron, in cooperation with Albeda College acquired the ship. In that year the Rotterdam was towed to nearby Cadiz on the south coast of Spain, where work was carried out on the hull, the structure and parts of the decks. The process of refurbishing and renovating several hundred cabins was then carried out in 2006 in Gdansk, Poland and in the North German port city Wilhelmshaven.
The day has finally arrived. After nearly fifty years, ss Rotterdam is making her way into the port in grand and majestic fashion. La Grande Dame is back! The quays extending from Hoek van Holland are lined with crowds of people eager to watch this final voyage live. All her wanderings have finally come to an end as ss Rotterdam arrives at its final destination at one of the most beautiful places she could ever imagine – on Katendrecht in Rotterdam! Yesterday becomes today and today becomes tomorrow. ss Rotterdam opens to the public on 15 February 2010 and instantly becomes one of the city's most popular places!
The ship was towed into and moored on the quay of the Derde Katendrechtsehoofd in Rotterdam. After further renovations and modifications, the ship was opened to the public on 15 February 2010.
It was announced on 2 November 2012 that Woonbron had sold the ship to WestCord Hotels and the ss Rotterdam was officially transferred to WestCord Hotels on 12 June 2013.

Lawsuits are expensive. The average civil lawsuit in a federal court costs $15,000, according to the Federal Judicial Center. If your case requires expert scientific or medical evidence and testimony, costs can exceed $100,000. Depending on your agreement with your attorney, you may not be required to pay these costs if you lose your case. However, the high costs of litigation make attorneys less likely to take on cases that are not clear winners. If they lose the case, they have large litigation costs to pay.
An alternative to this arrangement is becoming more common. Hedge funds and several banks have begun the business of providing loans for lawsuits. These can include providing living expenses to plaintiffs who cannot work due to their injuries and providing large law firms with funds to pay expensive expert and litigation costs until a verdict or settlement is reached.
This is a relatively new development. Prior to the 1990s, many states had laws that prohibited investing in lawsuits. Some states are now taking these statutes off the books. In 1997, Massachusetts was the first state to repeal this prohibition. South Carolina, Texas, and Ohio have also repealed similar statutes.
Although this new source of money for litigants and their attorneys provides obvious benefits, there are drawbacks as well. Like any other loan, these loans require interest payments, and rates from 15 percent to 24 percent, substantially higher than those found at a bank, have been reported. Also like other loans, these must be paid back, regardless of whether you are successful with your case.
Some litigants have been surprised to learn that their law firm borrowed money to fund their case. Although this information should be provided to a client early in the relationship, some plaintiffs have been surprised when they receive bills from their attorney for interest payments after a case has been completed.
In the right situation, with proper disclosure, lawsuit financing can provide plaintiffs with the opportunity to have cases heard that would otherwise be turned down by attorneys because of lack of funds. If your case involves substantial expert and litigation costs, you should check with your attorney regarding the availability and cost to you of lawsuit financing. This is a changing area of the law and the requirements will vary from state to state.

Q: Why can't Application Verifier find memory leaks? I'm using Windows 10 Application Verifier, x64 version 10.0.10586. It has all the "Basics" checkboxes ticked, including "Leak". Application Verifier curiously is implementing a page protected heap for the memory, as the malloc call returns memory at the end of a page.
DLL code:
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void LeakMemory()
{
    malloc(1);
    VirtualAlloc(nullptr, 4096, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);
}

main code:
#include <Windows.h>
#include <crtdbg.h>

int main(int, char**)
{
    //_CrtSetDbgFlag(_CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF);

    HMODULE h = LoadLibraryW(L"DLLProject.dll");
    void(*pLeakMemory)() = reinterpret_cast<void(*)()>(GetProcAddress(h, "LeakMemory"));
    pLeakMemory();
    FreeLibrary(h);

    printf("bye\n");
    return 0;
}

Output is as follows:
Page heap: pid 0xFE8: page heap enabled with flags 0x3.
AVRF: ConsoleApplication4.exe: pid 0xFE8: flags 0x81643027: application verifier enabled
bye
The program '[11172] TestProject.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

App verifier fails to report either of the leaks.
If I enable the _CrtDbgFlag call then verifies that in fact the malloc leaked by also printing this on app shutdown:
Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{74} normal block at 0x0000015C0979EFF0, 1 bytes long.
 Data: < > CD
Object dump complete.

Why doesn't Application Verifier work? It also fails to find leaks if I allocate memory in main() instead of a DLL, but I think that's a known limitation of it.

It was after the Under-19 World Cup (the class of 2010 featuring his KXIP teammates KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal) that I started paying attention to how AB de Villiers , Yuvi paji, MS Dhoni hit sixes,"
Mandeep Singh says : "Dhoni ka bat bohot piche jaata tha, so I tried that. For a year or two then, I became so bottom-handed that I would only get out bowled, leg before. And that messed with my confidence," "The things I learned from IPL, and being around top players, is great.

Mandeep Singh says : "A couple of matches, yes, I was set and should have carried on. But not all fifties are the same,"
Mandeep Singh says : "It wasn't like there was no chance for players from smaller centres. But the performances were largely neglected. We know there are good players in the Ranji Trophy plate division. But it's easier to be ignored because of the impression that they can only perform at that level. This season, things have changed a lot. We will miss the Chandigarh guys. But because of so many openings now, if a talent is identified he can be fast-tracked,"
