Indian Railways, Lifeline to the nation…

The first railway on Indian sub-continent ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay to Thane. The idea of a railway to connect Bombay with Thane, Kalyan and with the Thal and Bhore Ghats inclines first occurred to Mr. George Clark, the Chief Engineer of the Bombay Government, during a visit to Bhandup in 1843.
The formal inauguration ceremony was performed on 16th April 1853, when 14 railway carriages carrying about 400 guests left Bori Bunder at 3.30 pm "amidst the loud applause of a vast multitude and to the salute of 21 guns." The first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly, a distance of 24 miles, on 15th August, 1854. Thus the first section of the East Indian Railway was opened to public traffic, inaugurating the beginning of railway transport on the Eastern side of the sub-continent.
In south the first line was opened on Ist July, 1856 by the Madras Railway Company. It ran between Vyasarpadi Jeeva Nilayam (Veyasarpandy) and Walajah Road (Arcot), a distance of 63 miles. In the North a length of 119 miles of line was laid from Allahabad to Kanpur on 3rd March 1859. The first section from Hathras Road to Mathura Cantonment was opened to traffic on 19th October, 1875.
These were the small beginnings which is due course developed into a network of railway lines all over the country. By 1880 the Indian Railway system had a route mileage of about 9000 miles. INDIAN RAILWAYS, the premier transport organization of the country is the largest rail network in Asia and the world's second largest under one management.

The limits to tourism
Thu, 20 Apr 2017 | City Making
The scale and growth of development is unsustainable, especially if the growing numbers of middle class around the world want the same experience. For instance, if not Dublin why not Serbia and Montenegro? It's all the same. The Vega City theme park project that United Entertainment Partners (UEP) originally planned for north Dublin is now likely to be built in Serbia and Montenegro. Fingal County Council voted by a 19 to 1 margin to reject the scheme for the US$7 billion theme park on 2500 acres, describing it as 'enormous, and unlike any proposal put forward in this country before,' and contrary to proper planning and sustainable development of Fingal.45 Instead UEP is in talks with Belgrade. UEP had hoped to attract 37 million visitors a year to Ireland (nine times the Irish population) with its three theme parks, golf courses, shopping centres, 14 hotels, conference centre, equestrian centre, ice rink and 10,000 apartments for short-term lets.
Carl Hiaasen, a newspaper columnist with the Miami Herald who has written extensively on the impact of large theme parks on his home state, says it sickens him to think a plan such as Vega City is even being considered by the people of Dublin. As a warning to Fingal, Hiaasen described the area around Orlando, where Disney World is based, as an 'ugly, congested, sprawling hellhole'.46
Consider too the latest ideas for Venice. It is likely to become the first major living city to charge an entrance fee, to offset the damage done by hordes of tourists. Often over 50,000 people a day traipse through the city and this will increase dramatically when Chinese and Indian tourists begin to travel en masse. If Eurodisney charges visitors 50 euros a visit, surely Venice is worth much more? And the sums collected will help save the city.
Implementing the ideas behind the eco-tourism movement is one way forward to overcome the contradictory dilemmas. It seeks to conserve cultural and biological diversity and to adopt an ecosystems approach to thinking through tourism. It involves being aware of the cultural sustainability of the places tourists go to and encouraging them to develop cultural knowledge and self-awareness. It focuses on providing local populations with jobs, sharing socioeconomic benefits with local communities and getting their informed consent in the management of enterprises, rather than encouraging foreign ownership of the majority of resources. In this way resilience can grow.
The ideas behind the City Safari project in Rotterdam may be a model. They have invented a new sustainable approach to tourism development. The brand name 'City Safari' has been 'stolen' or copied by many, but not the core idea. The project has a list of over 300 people or organizations that are willing to be visited. The visitor chooses the kind of people they want to meet - which could range from priests to imams, from urban planners and gardening enthusiasts to unusual shopkeepers, tattooists, and collectors of the bizarre like a man who owns over a thousand koi carp kept in tanks in a collective garden of a series of apartment blocks - and places to go to, from delicatessens to sex shops to a café employing recovering heroin addicts. The visitor gets an address and has to find their target by exploring and navigating the city. They encounter people a normal tourist would never meet. They hand over paid-for vouchers and in return they get a service - primarily a conversation about their life and what they do. In addition, perhaps, a glass of wine, a tour of a building or a meal. Its power is that the tourist and the locals connect and the benefits go directly to the local rather than an intermediary. City Safari was started as an economic development project by Kees de Gruiter and is now owned by Marjolijn Masselink to bring more resources to local people rather than intermediaries.47
The problem for less-developed countries is that tourism is often presented as one of the only routes to development. But tourism can in fact be a terrible burden on the economy of the destination. There are a number of reasons for this. One is leakage: not much tourist expenditure stays in the economy after taxes, profits and wages are paid outside the area and after imports are purchased. Indeed, of each US$100 spent by a tourist in a developed country, only around US$5 actually stays in that country's economy. A second reason is the phenomenon of enclave tourism: many tourist packages are 'all-inclusive' wherein tourists do not leave their resort or cruise ship. Third, infrastructure improvements - in roads and airports, for example - can cost the government at the expense of local health and education, especially if there is pressure from developers for tax breaks. Fourth, with an increase in the spending power of tourists, prices can rise faster than indigenous wages can accommodate them. Finally, an area can become dependent on tourism and therefore subject to tourism's vagaries. Other parts of the economy are neglected and the area lacks a healthy diversity. Also, a local tourist industry may be seasonal, meaning instabilities in employment and leaving the economy as a whole vulnerable to climatic instabilities.48
Tourism can be configured to help the areas it affects. Pro-Poor Tourism, for example, is an organization that promotes the local expansion of employment and businesses and the active inclusion of the poor. Eco-tourism as a movement is intended to encourage tourism that is responsible and environmentally and culturally sensitive. However, as with any industry, tourism must be understood as an extensive system of which no particular facet can be seen in isolation. Air traffic is increasing and, as an abundance of new wealth enters the tourism industry, this will continue. But at what cost? Clearly flying to the other side of the world to see the famous dyers in Fez market or to watch pandas chew bamboo shoots is not eco-tourism. Responsible tourism may in fact be travelling less far from home. Cities could do worse than look to Rotterdam's City Safari as a model of how tourism can be incorporated into self-discovery. In fact, why not turn your own citizens into tourists of their own city?

This rich liqueur brings together a fresh bouquet of herbaceous tones, woody essences and minerals, tied together by a sophisticated sweetness. A versatile and unique spirit, it can be enjoyed neat, with simple mixers and infusions (try it with tonic, lime cordial, cucumber, orange peel), or can be part of more elaborate cocktail combinations.
This liqueur pays tribute to the tradition, hard work and united spirit of the local agriculturist families brought together by the Growers' Association and to the special tradition of mastiha production, kept vibrantly alive in the Mastiha Villages on the island of Chios.

Swasth Report Card: Jharkhand Continues To Battle Malnutrition, But Improves In Tackling Wasting And Anaemia
Swasth Report Cards
Over the course of 10 years, not much has changed in Jharkhand, when it comes to its battle Malnutrition. But the state showed a downward trend in wasting when in India wasting rate saw an increase by 1.2 per cent
Written By: Anisha Bhatia | Edited By: Sonia Bhaskar |
New Delhi: Jharkhand's health crisis hits home in the form of poor nutrition and low child survival rate. In 2017, around 52 infants died over a period of 30 days at Jamshedpur's Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College hospital due to malnutrition. According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2015 data, analysed by the International Food Policy Research Institute in New Delhi, Jharkhand's Infant Mortality Rate was considered worse than most of the African nations. A recent Child Well-Being Index (developed by NGOs World Vision India and IFMR LEAD), released this year also listed Jharkhand as one of the bottom performing states. The index mentioned poor nutrition and low child survival rate as the main cause of the state poor performance.
Here's a quick lowdown on Jharkhand's health parameters as stated by the National Family Health Survey (2015-16), which gathered information from the 25,723 households, 29,046 women, and 3,820 men:

Here's a look at Swasth Report of Jharkhand and its performance on health indicators:
Infant Mortality Rate Over The Years Show A Downward Trend, But Still A Cause Of Concern: According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 4, infant mortality rate (IMR) — per 1,000 live births in Jharkhand saw a decline of whooping 36.2 per cent with IMR in 2015-16 being 44 and 2005-06 being 69. But the IMR of Jharkhand still remains high as compared to India's IMR in the year 2015-16, which was at 41. Moreover, Jharkhand's IMR is also worse than the African nation of Ethiopia (41).
Infant Mortality Rate over the years show a downward trend in Jharkhand
Jharkhand's Under-Five Mortality Rate (U5MR) Saw A Decline Of 42 Per Cent In The 10 Year Period Between 2005 and 2015: According to NFHS 4, Jharkhand's under-five mortality rate (U5MR) (per 1,000 live births) is at 54 – down from a whopping 93 in 2005-06. That is a drop of 42 per cent. In the same period, India's U5MR fell by about 32 percent [50 per 1000 live births in 2015-16, down from 74 per live births in 2005-06].
In Jharkhand's Under-Five Mortality Rate (U5MR) saw a decline of 42 Per Cent in the 10 year period
Malnutrition, Still A Battle In Jharkhand: Over the course of 10 years, not much has changed in the state. Stunting of children under 5 years saw a decline of mere 4.5 per cent – from 49.8 per cent in 2005-06, it declined to 45.3 per cent. In the same time period, nationally stunting saw a decline from 48.0 (2005-06) to 38.4 (2015-16), which is 9.6 per cent.Whereas, when it comes to underweight statistics (low weight-for-age), Jharkhand saw a decline from 56.5 per cent in 2005-06 to 47.8 per cent in 2015-16. But the state is still far from the national average which is at 35.8 per cent (2015-16) down from 42.5 per cent (2005-06).Not just NFHS, as per the recently released Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey, Jharkhand has the highest number of underweight children at 42.9 percent, followed by Chhattisgarh at 40 percent and Bihar at 38.7 percent.
In wasting, the state saw a downward trend of 10.2 per cent – from 32.3 per cent in 2005-06 it declined to 29 per cent in 2015-16. But the good part is that it still saw a downward trend because in India, wasting rate saw an increase by 1.2 per cent – from 19.8 (2005-06) the figures increased for the country to 21.0 (2015-16).
Malnutrition, still a battle in Jharkhand, but wasting rate saw a downward trend of 10.2 per cent in the state
Statistics Of Anaemia Among Children and Adults Show Very Less Decline: When it comes to Anaemia, Jharkhand saw a decline of mere 0.4 per cent – from 70.3 per cent (2005-06) to 69.9 (2015-16) in children age 6-59 months. Whereas, in women, the decrease was from 69.5 (2005-06) to 65.2 (2015-16), which is 4.3 per cent.
In women, Anaemia cases saw a decline of 4.3 per cent
Nationally, the average decrease for children suffering from anaemia is 10.8 per cent as per the NFHS4 survey and women is 2.2 per cent for the same time period.
Jharkhand saw a decline of mere 0.4 per cen in Anaemia cases among children
According to the Nutrition Atlas which has been prepared by the Hyderabad-based National Institute of Nutrition, Jharkhand is in top 15 Anaemic states of India with a higher percentage of anaemic women than the national average of 53.1 per cent. Jharkhand is at 65.2 per cent followed by West Bengal 63.2%, Haryana 62.7%, Bihar 60.3%, Andhra Pradesh 60%, Telangana 56.7%, and Tamil Nadu 55.1%.
Diarrhoeal Disease Deaths Saw An Upward Trend, From 0 to 8: According to National Health Profile 2019 report, Diarrhoeal disease deaths in the state in 2017 were 0 whereas in 2018 it increased to 8. Moreover, out of the total cases of Diarrhoea in India in 2018 (13,1M,94,775) Jharkhand contributed less than 1 per cent with 82,634 diarrhoea cases.Also Read: Swasth Report Of Uttar Pradesh: India's Most Populous State Grapples With Anaemia Among Women, Child Wasting And Diarrhoea

Note: NFHS-4 fieldwork for Jharkhand was conducted from 9 April 2016 to 4 December 2016 by Development & Research Services Pvt. Ltd. (DRS) and gathered information from 25,723 households, 29,046 women, and 3,820 men.

Sommarhagen var kompositören Wilhelm Peterson-Bergers hem på Frösön i Jämtland.

Huset byggdes åren 1913–1914 av östersundsbyggmästaren Anton Paulsson enligt arkitekten, den årebördige Per Bensons ritningar. Sommarhagens interiör är målad och dekorerad av jämtlandskonstnären Paul Jonze.
Den arkitektoniska utformningen av huset är influerad av nationalromantik och jugend.

På bottenvåningen ligger den stora Musiksalen, som är genomgående i två våningar med öppna takstolar.
Andra våningen utgjorde privatbostaden, med bland annat arbetsrum, bibliotek och gästrum.

Peterson-Berger bodde på Sommarhagen under somrarna 1914–1930, och därefter permanent fram till sin död 1942.
Sommarhagen blev efter hans död museum, men används idag också för konserter och andra evenemang och är Frösöns kanske mest populära turistmål under sommaren. Sommarhagen förvaltas av en stiftelse, och är bevarat i stort sett i ursprungligt skick.

Pianostycket Intåg i Sommarhagen, som ingår i samlingen Frösöblomster, utgavs just invigningsåret 1914.

Spent four hours talking whisky and politics (only planned for a single dram but that was abandoned unknowingly) with an incredible bartender in Oban. I thought it was incredibly interesting how he despised the idea of a democratic union where Scotland gets ****ed because of the population difference between Scotland and London.
I won't be surprised if Ireland reunifies, Scotland goes independent in the next couple years. I know this isn't news to anyone paying attention, but holy Christ are they upset at brexit.
Anyways, this was probably a top two or three bar experience I've ever had. It was the bartender, mrs dx, and me for four hours (only interrupted by three guys looking for a pint for half an hour). We just chatted like we were friends who went back decades.
Side note DX, the picture you paint of Ireland on your trip makes me want to go visit. It sounds like it's been amazing.

I don't think this happens as long as the Tories remain in power. They've said multiple times that they won't allow another referendum, and it's my understanding that any alternative path is non-binding and requires a certifying vote of the UK parliament.

Yeah, they have two years left before they're forced to go to election (and that's assuming no one forces one before then). It'll almost certainly be some coalition of Labour, LibDem, and the SNP taking over. And the SNP will absolutely force a referendum.

Tory MPs are already griping about Truss, barely a month in. That usually takes a season or two before the backbiting starts. If things don't turn around in a hurry (and they won't) I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of Tories call for a vote of no confidence themselves - or not block a Labour Party call - and then switch sides. Congress critters will never vote themselves out, but they also know how to read headwinds.
The Tories will just force another leadership election (Truss wasn't the pick of a majority of MPs anyway) before they force a general election.

I was there in 2011, when the "Independence Movement" was in full swing and it didn't pass then. I get they are mad but I highly doubt it happens. I hope I am wrong but their hatred of the Brits has always been trumped in the end by something.
United Ireland I could maybe see though...
I was there in 2011, when the "Independence Movement" was in full swing and it didn't pass then. I get they are mad but I highly doubt it happens.
Really? I think it is inevitable. They only missed by about 5 points last time, and since then the English have been even more idiotic and incompetent than usual, which is a very high bar.
Now, personally, I have a dream of a world entirely unencumbered by the Anglo-Saxon trailer trash of all nations that has encumbered Western history for the last millennium, but in the interregnum we should at least hope the individual groups of derp spawn get to roll in the sewage of their own self-determination. And arguably the Scots have managed to keep themselves pretty clear of that stench anyway and can go join the Faroe Islands with their Daneslaw ilk.
As the Protestant population of N. Ireland continues to shrink over the next decade, I think Irish reunification is inevitable. Particularly as the rest of the UK continues its decline, the Catholic majority will want to reunite under a Dublin government that has done a very good job of marketing Ireland as the new business gateway to the EU.
Scottish independence is another animal entirely. I get that a lot of them are hot under the collar about Brexit, but culturally I think it's more complicated than that.
I'm sure you know better than I. I thought the Scots merely detested the English, as opposed to the Irish who actively hate them.
I can't see the Protestants losing their occupation state without ultraviolence unless the English throw a canvas bag over them and punt them back over the Irish sea to Blackpool or whatever Mas-shole-like sewer they emerged from.
I think Brexit has complicated things and as the Tories continue to wreck the UK economy it only drives more to the SNP and independence. The economic factor was always the main sticking point in the independence debate but the UK economy isn't what it was in 2014.
Another thing is the EU has said the UK will never darken their towels again. OTOH, Ireland is in, and Scotland, Wales, and for that matter England are welcome.


He was born on August 3, 1962 in Moscow. He graduated from the Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography with qualification in engineering, optics, and design; then – the Moscow State University of Technology and Management with qualification in economics, and the Professional Development and Advance Training Faculty of the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
In 1984, he was employed as a research engineer in the NIIP (now the FSUE RISDE - the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian Institute of Space Device Engineering).
In 2001, he was appointed to the post of General Director.
From 2006 to 2012, he was the General Designer of the GLONASS system.
A Member of the Presidium of the K.E. Tsiolkovsky Russian Academy of Cosmonautics, a member of the Presidential Council of General and Chief Designers, Leading Scientists and Professionals of High-Tech Industries of the Russian Federation, a member of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Government Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation.
A co-chairman of the Interindustrial Council Microtechnologies in space; the author of more than 100 published scientific papers and 10 inventions and patents. He was awarded the Order of Friendship, second class Medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, the winner of the Russian Federation governmental award in science and technology.
In 2009, the share of devices compatible with GLONASS did not exceed 1-1.5% in this segment. There are few reasons for the negative attitude to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) from potential consumers and manufacturers of equipment and software.
First, chips for GLONASS devices are much more expensive than in the case of GPS. GPS-chips in a small-scale wholesale party cost $ 30, and GLONASS modules - $ 120-150. Secondly, until recently, GLONASS devices were 10 times more voracious than GPS-analogues. Thirdly, participants of the market of navigation and telematics complained of very poor quality of the software for GLONASS. And producers of navigation hardware and software admitted that they were not ready to invest in GLONASS. The investments in creation of the chip - from a zero cycle until the release of the first pilot batch of devices - are € 7-15 million. And there are no guarantees that these investments will be paid off.
Despite the solid personnel, the main part of expenses of RKS (in 2007 - 37% to the total volume of expenses, in 2008 - 38%) was the share of third parties services which officially performed the state orders assigning to RKS. A significant part of the state orders, where the RKS was the main executor, were performed by a certain NPO KP Ltd. and Sinertek JSC. Their owners were several companies – the ACC Space TV JSC (79.7% of shares), Kosmokrator RISDE LLC (18.9%), Kumir LLC of the NPO KP – the Scientific Development and Production Association of Space Device Engineering (1.4%). All they were under control of the management of the state corporation. All of the shareholders of the NPO KP were registered at the address of registration of the state-owned company (53, Aviamotornaya Str.,Moscow). And the Sinertek General Director was adviser to the Deputy Director General.
In 2010, the tax authorities found that the companies, performing works under the state orders, had no way to execute them. They did not have even basic logistics and qualified personnel. Moreover, they had no right to engage in military contracts.
The problem was solved simply: despite the fact that more than 1 billion rubles were paid for the performed works during the two years, all the works were being performed by the staff of the RKS. (In 2007, 2333 people were engaged in the works performed by the NPO KP JSC and 75 people – in the works performed by the Sinertek LLC; in 2008 - 1715 and 74 people, respectively.) In 2007, the share of employees of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise (FSUE) involved in implementation of the contracts, signed with the NPO KP JSC, was 76%, with the Sinertek - 96%; in 2008 – 81% and 92%, respectively.
In the summer of 2012, the investigative part of the 4th Directorate of the Russian Interior Ministry (MVD) opened a criminal investigation on unreasonable expenditure of more than 565 million rubles allocated to RKS for creation and development of GLONASS system.
The criminal case No. 118021 was initiated against against "unidentified persons" from among the leaders of the RKS. Searches were conducted in the offices of the three heads of the RKS, including the one of deputy director for economy, in accounting department of the company, as well as in the premises of the five commercial organizations involved in dubious schemes.
The head of the Federal Space Agency Vladimir Popovkin has banned the managers and staff of enterprises of Roscosmos, informed about the secret information, to travel abroad on holiday.
Popovkin has also recommended that traveling on holiday outside Russia be limited for managers and employees well-informed on highly important or top-secret information of the organizations. The prohibition applies not only to the organizations and enterprises subordinate to Roscosmos. It is also about the organizations with which the state has a contract to conduct activities related to the transfer of highly important or top-secret information. As a result Urlichich automatically restricted to leave.
On November 11, 2012, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin issued a decree on dismissal of the head of RKS Yury Urlichich from the office of the General designer of the enterprise and General designer of GLONASS system, having left him on the post of the General Director of the enterprise. That very day the head of the presidential administration Sergey Ivanov said that even in 2010 he was aware of the facts of the inappropriate expenditure of the funds allocated for GLONASS, but he could not announce it as he didn't want to interfere with the investigation.

Injury Update: Mitera out for 'extended period,' surgery to be discussed
Today, a Michigan athletic representative said Michigan senior captain Mark Mitera will be out for an extended period of time due to the injury he sustained in last night's game against St. Lawrence. Surgery is a definite possibility, but the decision won't be made until Mitera's family and doctors discuss options.
With 38.8 seconds remaining in the first period of Michigan season's opening game yesterday, Mitera left the ice and didn't return.
Mitera and St. Lawrence junior forward Augie DiMarzo collided and lay on the ice entangled for a moment. Two teammates helped a limping Mitera back to the Michigan bench.
Mitera did not return after the first intermission, and junior alternate captain Chris Summers replaced him on defense, playing with sophomore Scooter Vaughan.
Michigan coach Red Berenson appeared worried about the health of his captain.
"Mitera is getting an MRI as we speak, so I don't know the outcome but I can tell you it's going to be serious," Berenson said at last night's post-game press conference.
Sophomore forward Matt Rust described Mitera's injury as "kind of a fluke play." Rust said DiMarzo slid into Mitera's knee and both went down.
"You know it's serious, too, because (Mitera) doesn't go down for nothing," senior forward Tim Miller said. "When I saw his face as he limped off the ice, it scared me."
Summers, who had been playing forward in practice so far this season, played defense in the second and third periods. Berenson said if the Mitera injury is serious, he would consider moving Summers back to defense permanently.
With two other defensemen injured last week, the defense was depleted before last night's game. Losing Mitera, team captain and last year's Inside College Hockey Defenseman of the Year, could be a major setback for the Wolverines this season.

Vietnam agrees to compensate China following May riots
By Patrick Scally in News on August 28, 2014
Both Beijing and Hanoi announced this week they had agreed to compensatory terms following anti-China riots that broke out earlier this year in Vietnam. Monetary sums were not disclosed by either side. However, Chinese media is characterizing the development as a step in the right direction following a months-long "sour patch" between the neighboring countries.
Characterizing the accord in terse terms, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei released a statement saying, in part, that Vietnam had expressed "sadness at the injuries and deaths of Chinese workers". Hong was referring to violent protests which began in several southern Vietnamese cities in May after China deployed a US$1 billion oil rig to a disputed region of the South China Sea.
During the riots, two Chinese nationals were killed and hundreds of factories, many of them owned by Chinese companies, were vandalized and looted. Thousands of Chinese workers fled Vietnam in the wake of the unrest as international relations between the two countries reached a low point not seen since the the Sino-Vietnamese War in 1979.
Monday's announcement that the "Vietnamese side [has] expressed their regrets" perhaps signals that once-simmering tensions between the two countries are now easing. Shortly after the monetary agreement was announced, Vietnam dispatched a special envoy to Beijing in an effort to further normalize relations.
At issue are a wide variety of issues on both sides, central amongst them being China's claim that it controls nine-tenths of the South China Sea. The watery expanse is believed to hold enormous untapped oil and gas reserves in its seabed. It is also strategically important to a host of countries as one third of all the world's ocean-going cargo transport passes through its waters.
Although the South China Sea dispute will likely not be resolved any time soon, officials from the two countries meeting in Beijing will undoubtedly discuss bilateral trade. China and Vietnam exchange US$50 billion in goods and services annually, but many major industries, such as agriculture and tourism, have been hard hit since the events in May.

China didn't like it when Vietnamese people burned their factories, yet it was so much like last year when Chinese people burned any business that was Japanese. Did China pay for the damages?
Alien • August 30, 2014, 12:26pm
I think the destruction in Viet Nam was more serious. However, it's also true that many of the Chinese who suffered were Hong Kongers and Taiwanese, not Mainlanders.

Google Nexus Prime launch event date revealed?
Invites to a launch event by Samsung on 11th October suggest we'll see the unveiling of the Google Nexus Prime, the first handset to run the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android.
The invites were sent out by Samsung but the event is dubbed a "Google Episode" where attendees will get the chance to "look at what's new from Android", suggesting this may be the unveiling of the much anticipated software update.
The Nexus Prime is set to be the launch handset for the Ice Cream Sandwich update to Android, which will be the first version of the OS to work on both phones and tablets. The Prime will be Samsung's second launch phone for a new version of Android, with the Google Nexus S being the first phone to feature Android 2.3. This is despite Google having recently bought mobile manufacturer, Motorola Mobility. It also chose not to rekindle its partnership with HTC who made the original Google Nexus One.
The Google Nexus Prime is expected to be a powerful device, with a large 4.5in , 1,280 x 720 pixel screen a dual-core processor and 4G connectivity in the US.
The only oddity is that were this such a big launch, one might expect it to be a Google led event. In which case, this could just be the unveiling of some new Samsung phones running existing versions of Android. Here's hoping it's the former rather than the latter though.

Vikings Awarded 2 Compensatory Picks in 2018 NFL Draft
Lindsey Young
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. –The NFL on Friday announced that the Vikings will receive a pair of sixth-round compensatory picks in the 2018 NFL Draft.
The selections will be the 213th and 218th overall.
This year will be the first time that Minnesota has been awarded a compensatory pick since 2012, when the Vikings received two fourth-round picks, which they used to draft TE Rhett Ellison and WR Greg Childs.
According to the NFL's rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks, which are positioned within the third through seventh rounds.
Compensatory free agents are determined "by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors," and not every free agent lost or signed by a team is covered by this formula. The Collective Bargaining Agreement limits the number of compensatory selections to 32, per the number of teams in the league.
The Vikings and Packers were the only NFC North teams to be awarded with 2018 compensatory picks.
The 2017 NFL Draft was the first in which compensatory picks could be used in trades.
The Vikings benefited from the rule change, when they received the Chiefs fifth-round compensatory pick via trade. Minnesota used the 180th overall selection to snag Miami G Danny Isidora.
Minnesota's sixth-round compensatory picks bring the Vikings current total to seven selections in the 2018 NFL Draft. In addition to the compensatory picks, the Vikings are slated to make selections in the first, second, third, fifth and sixth rounds. They hold the 30th overall pick in the first round.
The Vikings fourth-round pick was traded to Philadelphia as part of the Sam Bradford trade in 2016, and the team's seventh-round pick was traded to the Seahawks for CB Tramaine Brock, Sr. last September.

This week Jeanne started kindergarten--hard to believe that she's now five. Like millions of children in North America, she's said good by to summer, and gone skippingly into a new place to meet new friends and learn new things.
At the same time, teachers and parents in Quebec are protesting budget cuts everywhere. What short-sightedness! Our kids need good, public schools where everyone can get a chance to grow and learn. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.
The New Normal: How Social Networks Make "Migrating" Possible
Last year a photo of African migrants holding cell phones up in Djibouti won the World Press Photo prize. The men were trying to pick up a good signal in order to communicate back home. Beautiful photo illustrating something that seemed exotic.
But that's not really the case, it appears. Having a good smart phone is essential to trying to get out of war zones these days, according to The New York Times. The price traffickers are charging has dropped, in fact, because of competition from what might be called "self-guided" migration. Facebook pages also have helped people live through crises: one FB group told of safe water outlets in Aleppo when water mains were broken through during fighting.
Fascinating, and also testimony to the degree of sophistication and education of these displaced people from unstable regions. They could be you or me, were we unlucky enough to live in one of the hotspots.
Saturday Photo: Tomatoes and the Hundred MIle Diet
August is a month of many pleasures, not the least being the arrival in markets of real tomatoes. Most of the years I don't buy them because they don't taste like anything. But now the choice is almost overwhelming and the possible uses for the lovely golden or red fruit/vegetables are legion.
Now, I can't be sure that these beauties were all picked within a hundred miles of the Jean Talon Market in the centre of Montreal where I found them. But certainly they are from much closer than the tomato-shaped objects usually on sale around here in other seasons. Worth waiting for...
Saturday Photo: The Electric Cool Aid Acid Test--Or What the Rich Drive
Not that I'm going to make fun of the environmental concerns of these folks who are shown powering up their two electric cars, but I mean, don't low gas-guzzlers and public transport have more effect on green house gas emissions and all that tra la la?
The house and cars are a couple of blocks over from us, on a street where the houses are single family, very large, and extremely well-kept. (They were repointing all the brick work when the photo was taken: a good $10,000 or more right there.)
The vehicles also are really classy, and I'm sure the people are cool too. But I really can't think that these early-adapters represent the wave of the future. Progress on the environmental front is frequently far more low-tech.
We may end up with more pears this year than the squirrels can eat! Last year we had perhaps a half dozen but this year there are lots. I've started picking the ones that look ripe-ish, trying to keep ahead of our bushy-tailed scavengers.
I had feared that last year's dismal crop was due to an absence of bees to pollinate the pear blossoms, a very sad thought. The alternate hypothesis centers on the fact that the week the trees were in bloom coincided with a sudden cold snap. Perhaps teh bees were dissuaded from flying around by the weather, I thought hopefully.
But this year the weather was fine when the trees bloomed, and the fruit set was good. Now the only thing is to hope that I can pick faster than the squirrels can eat.
This is from a photo I took of a clementine back in 2011, just after the amazing sweep of Quebec by the New Democratic Party. Election night was amazing--nobody believed what was happening really, old stalwarts were crying, the young were ecstatic.
Of course, I was glad and amazed at the Orange Wave, but I also was worried because the election ended with Stephen Harper and his Conservatives with a majority government. They were going to have a blank cheque to do whatever they wanted to do. No matter how effective an opposition the NDP was--and it has proved to be very good--the Harper program was bound to be approved.
The Canadian Federal election called today, six weeks earlier than necessary, will be decided by people who are fed up with Harper and his gang. It could be that the NDP will win a complete majority--I hope so--but even if the Liberals split the vote, the chances are good that the Conservatives will bite the dust. I certainly hope so, because, while the NDP has moved to the centre more than I'd like, Thomas Mulcair is a better leader than Justin Trudeau, and the Canadian people need a Prime Minister who cares about issues that matter.

Chad Michael Murray signs an autograph for Mady Loiacano, one of the many fans who came to see him in Eastern Hills Mall on Friday.
Chad Michael Murray returned to Buffalo on Friday to sign autographs, pose for pictures and screen a new film.
He loves Western New York.
He loves it so much, in fact, that the Hollywood actor and TV star said he is even thinking of moving back to the Buffalo area for good.
"The Buffalo area is just fantastic," said Murray, a Buffalo native and 1999 graduate of Clarence High School.
Murray's affection was returned by the scores of fans who waited in line – some of them for an hour and a half – to spend a few moments with the star.
Murray made an afternoon appearance in Eastern Hills Mall, where he spent a few hours signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans.
The line for autographs – which cost fans $20, and also got them a photo op with Murray – stretched down one side aisle of the mall. A portion of the proceeds from the signing session was to be donated to Hunter's Hope, Murray's publicist said.
Then, there was an evening screening scheduled of Murray's new movie, "Cavemen," in the mall cinema.
After that, the actor – whose credits include the television show "One Tree Hill" – was scheduled to attend a party in a Transit Road restaurant.
Members of Murray's family, who turned out for the autograph session, said they were thrilled to see the people in attendance at the event.
The actor called it a little bit of a full circle moment for him – since, he said, as a teenager he worked at a theater there.
Murray said in a phone interview earlier in the day with The Buffalo News that over the past year or so he has started thinking about moving back to the Buffalo area as a permanent home.
"To have my home base here I think is great," said the California-based actor. "I miss home. I miss being here, being able to go see the games, the Bills and the Sabres.
The last time Murray was in the Buffalo area for a public event was a book-signing at a local Barnes and Noble, his publicist said.
The line of fans Friday waited in polite, if high-spirited, quiet – broken every now and then by shrieks and screams.
Some of those who attended said that Murray's local roots are a big part of his appeal.
"He's from around here," said Lexie Aquino, 20. "He seems like he likes Buffalo.

With 2022 coming to a close...anywhere anytime access helps CPAs complete end-of-year CPE requirements
Wolters Kluwer has tax professionals covered with continued investments in cloud-based tech that can deliver all the training you need to complete your CPE requirements
It's that time of year, when many time-strapped CPAs need to confirm that they've completed their continuing professional education (CPE) before they ring in the New Year.
While the number of required CPE hours varies by state, all CPAs must earn a set number of CPE credit hours per year to maintain their CPA license. With Wolters Kluwer's CCH® CPELink, completing CPE requirements has never been easier, even for the 40% of CPAs who wait to complete a large number of credits in the last few weeks or days of the calendar year.
CCH CPELink offers anywhere, anytime access to hundreds of on-demand, virtual webinars and online self-study courses, led by industry experts. The tool's most popular courses tend to focus on technical tax and accounting issues and tax updates; however, users can also gain CPE credits by completing courses that help them learn how to maximize the features and benefits of Wolters Kluwer software tools, like CCHTM Axcess, CCHTM AnswerConnect, and more. Courses can be purchased as part of an annual subscription, or on a standalone basis – per course, per user. In addition to being interactive, they're mobile-friendly, too.
In 2022, courses focusing on federal tax updates and changes to the IRS 1099 form ranked among CCH CPELink's most popular CPE courses – with courses focused on fraud review and GAAP updates closely following.
Wolters Kluwer is committed to making it as easy and convenient as possible for tax and accounting professionals to fulfill their CPE requirements by providing on-demand access to the most accurate, up-to-date training in the industry. If you're a tax and accounting professional who still has CPE credits complete this year – it's not too late! With CCH CPELink, Wolters Kluwer has you covered, with anywhere, anytime access to all the CPE credits you need.
Dean Sonderegger, Senior Vice President, General Manager for Canada and Research & Learning, Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting North America
An annual survey of accounting firms conducted by Wolters Kluwer Research and Learning recently found that nearly 94% of accounting firms expect their usage of online learning tools to either remain steady or increase over the next several years. That high demand for online CPE tools is just one reason why Sonderegger says Wolters Kluwer's commitment to online learning is stronger than ever. The company is investing in the development of new tools to drive greater engagement for learners and is adding more than 500 new CCH CPELink courses in 2023.
Our Research and Learning team is committed to partnering with customers to ensure that our CCH CPELink content is fresh, engaging, and focused on the trends and issues that are most important to tax and accounting professionals," he continued.

Photographs by Kurt Tong.
Jiazazhi, Ningbo, China, 2019. 278 pp., 6¾x9¾".
First edition of 700, including 37 limited edition copies.
Section-sewn perfect binding.
Combing for Ice and Jade is a love note from Kurt Tong to his nanny, who was one of the last remaining "self-combed" women left in China. An early form of feminism, the comb-up ceremony granted women great autonomy at a great cost.
Kurt Tong has worked closely with his nanny over a period of nearly seven years. Having only seven photographs of herself, the book is an exploration of her extraordinary life. Her story is slowly revealed through the book, combined with Kurt's family archive, found photographs from her extended family, new photographs, Chinese ink works and women's magazines from China that span six decades.
Born in Hong Kong in 1977, Kurt Tong left to live in the UK when he was 13 years old. Currently he lives in Hong Kong. In his early career as a photographer, he excelled at documentary photography and photojournalism. Gradually, he has turned his attention to his own family history. His work concentrates on individuals, like his grandfather, his parents and his nanny. Combing for Ice and Jade won the Punctum Award in Lianzhou Foto in 2017 and Photo Folio Award in Les Rencontres d'Arles in 2018.

SA junk rating seen as inevitable
By Agency Staff	 18 November 2016 No Comments
Should South Africa avoid having its credit rating cut to junk in the next two weeks, it could just be staving off the inevitable.
More than half of 12 economists surveyed by Bloomberg said S&P Global Ratings will strip the nation of its investment-level rating. The median probability of South Africa retaining its current assessment in December is 45%, falling to only 20% in 2017, the survey shows.
Africa's most industrialised economy faces a cut to junk on its foreign currency credit rating as output is forecast to expand at the slowest pace this year since a 2009 recession, delaying the government's plans to narrow the shortfall on the budget and rein in debt.
While the economic growth outlook has improved marginally and a similar Bloomberg poll six months ago showed 12 of 13 economists said the nation's credit rating will be cut to junk by the end of the year, political turmoil, including now-dropped fraud charges against finance minister Pravin Gordhan, has overshadowed some the government's efforts to boost investor and business confidence.
"I don't think it's high enough on the priority list — that we are seeing enough being done," Christie Viljoen, an economist at KPMG in Cape Town, said on Thursday by phone. "It might be enough at the moment to avoid an immediate downgrade in December, but if it is avoided in December, it's going to happen next year."
S&P is scheduled to announce its assessment, which is at the lowest investment grade and has a negative outlook, on 2 December and Moody's Investors Service will publish the review of its rating, currently one level higher than S&P's, on 25 November.
Officials from Fitch Ratings, which has a stable outlook on its BBB- rating, visited South Africa this week and are concerned about the nation's ability to stick to its fiscal targets and about the lack of economic growth, according to deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas. Fitch hasn't set a date for its assessment.
"We will be able to maintain the current expenditure ceiling, we think we will, and I dare say, we convinced them we can," Jonas told reporters in Johannesburg on Thursday. "My sense is that there was general acceptance of our constraints and the good work we are doing."
Gordhan has been leading efforts to avoid a downgrade to junk with meetings between the government, business and labour and by talking to foreign investors. However, the standoff between him and President Jacob Zuma over control of the treasury and delays in passing new mining and anti-money laundering laws and overhauling employment legislation have fueled perceptions of political turmoil and policy uncertainty that S&P and Fitch warned against in June when they left their ratings unchanged.
"We aren't deteriorating, we are just moving sideways at the bottom," Thabi Leoka, an economist at Argon Asset Management in Johannesburg, said by phone. "The political noise is a problem and it's the biggest risk, I even think that it's a bigger risk than growth."
A cut by S&P would move the company's assessment of the nation's creditworthiness to below investment grade for the first time in 16 years and put South Africa in line with Russia and Indonesia. Investors already consider South Africa more risky than Russia. The cost of insuring against non-payment of debt for five years using credit default swaps is 26 basis points higher than for Russia.
Still, a cut to junk on the foreign currency rating may not lead to significant forced bond selling by foreign investors.
South Africa's local currency ratings, which are usually referenced for inclusion in global benchmark indexes such as Citigroup's World Government Bond Index, are several notches above junk. However, a foreign currency downgrade may hurt sentiment and add to woes for the rand in a year of domestic political turmoil and emerging market uncertainty fueled by Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as US president.
The currency weakened 0,3% to R14,47/US$ as of 6.51am in Johannesburg on Friday. Yields on rand-denominated government bonds due in December 2026 rose two basis points to 9,02%.
"While S&P is likely to remain quite bearish and quite negative on South Africa, there is sufficient scope for them to keep our rating at a BBB- level," Mohammed Nalla, head of strategic research at Nedbank in Johannesburg, said by phone. "Potentially this buys us another six months worth of time. It doesn't mean we are out of the woods." — (c) 2016 Bloomberg LP

On this page you can see several screenshots of FasterFiles.
As soon as you have created your first HotKeys, Action Lists and Actions, they are displayed in the main window from where you can manage and change them.
In this screenshot, the HotKey with the keyboard shortcut WIN + A is open. We have assigned some Action Lists to this HotKey, among others also some folders in which action lists can be bunched together.
The action list that is currently selected, first creates a new folder in the target folder (that is the currently opened Explorer window). The name of the folder is containing placeholders for the current year and the current month. Next, files are copied to the recently created folder. Because the name of the folder is variable (because of the placeholders and the Explorer origin) we are referring to the "last folder" instead of specifying any exact name. Subsequently, the last file (here Document.odt) will be renamed and opened, a text file containing the current content of the clipboard will be created, a file is downloaded from the Internet and last, the entire content of the just created folder is printed out via the default printer.
In order to create a new HotKey, you can click on the button "New HotKey" in the main window. This will make the following window open.
In this window, you can specify the name of your HotKey, you can determine which keyboard shortcut should execute the HotKey and you can adjust some other HotKey settings.
After you have created a HotKey with Action Lists, you can select the HotKey and click on "New Action List" in order to assign an Action List to the HotKey.
Later, you can click with the right mouse button on a HotKey or an Action List to edit or delete them.
In order to create Actions, first, you have to select the HotKey and the Action List to which you want to assign the new action. After that, you can click on the button "Add Action".
At the top of the window below "Action", you can determine the kind of action. The screenshot is showing the action "Open File or Folder". Here you can specify under "What should be opened", which files and/or folders should be open. With options like "Last File" or "Last Folder" you can dynamically access the files and folders that were last processed by FasterFiles without knowing their names when creating the list.
The created actions will be displayed in the list "Actions" in the main window. To edit them, right click with your mouse on one of the actions and select "Edit" from the context menu.
The screenshot is showing the action "Copy File or Folder". When creating this action, you can first define what should be copied and after that to which folder. Last, there is an option with which you can control the what should happen, in case that a file to be copied is already existing. The action in the screenshot is configured in a way that the program should ask in this case.
After you have created a HotKey and after you have assigned Action Lists and Actions to it, you can press the selected key combination and you will get some kind of selection dialog like you can see in the following screenshot.
In this case, a HotKey with the three folders "Programs", "Clipboard" and "Websites" as well as some other first level action lists has been created. Now, you can use your mouse on your keyboard to select one of the action lists and thereby execute the assigned actions of the list. The target folder at the top of the dialog is set to the current open Explorer window by default. If multiple windows are open, they are displayed with a drop down list as you can see in the screenshot. However, it is also possible to change this manually. You can directly refer to this target folder as location for actions within your action lists.
You can find more screenshots of Faster Files on the help page, where the creation of HotKeys, Action Lists and Actions is described step by step.

Feeding a baby small amounts of peanuts may reduce their chances of developing a peanut allergy. The FDA recently announced that peanut-containing foods can trumpet this claim on their labels, and you'll see it soon on an odd product called Hello Peanut.
The idea that peanuts are good for babies is not a brand new one, but it's taken some time to get that message out to parents. The American Academy of Pediatrics wrote a guideline about early peanut introduction in 2015, and the National Institutes of Health released theirs earlier this year. Based on the evidence from the LEAP trial of 600 infants who were at high risk of peanut allergy, the new advice says that kids who already have eczema or egg allergy should start eating peanut-containing foods when they're between 4 and 10 months old. Kids who aren't at risk of developing an allergy can eat peanuts whenever they want.
So let's talk about Hello Peanut. It's eight tiny packets of peanut powder, sold in a box for $25. You mix the "Day 1" packet into your baby's food, and they'll get a tiny dose of peanuts. Then the "Day 2" packet has a little bit more. Lest you think you'd be done with this after the first week, Hello Peanut also sells a maintenance kit ($20 for eight packets) so you can sprinkle peanut powder on your little peanut's food three times a week forever, or until you discover that other peanut-containing foods exist in the world, whichever comes first.
"I would not personally recommend this strategy to the majority of infants," says Steve Taylor, of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Food Allergy Research and Resource Program, because most kids aren't at risk of developing a peanut allergy and there's no evidence that it matters when or how they taste their first peanut. The peanut guidelines, and the FDA's label, point out that we only know this helps children who are at risk of a peanut allergy. And if your kid is at risk, you should check with their doctor before deciding when and how to introduce peanuts.
In fact the infants in the peanut arm of the clinical study were fed a comparatively inexpensive peanut-containing snack food called Bamba. Parents of high risk infants do not need access to specialized peanut products in my view although they can certainly choose that route if they wish. But peanut butter or Bamba would likely work just as well.
So if it makes you feel better to spend $25 on a box of peanut packets, knock yourself out. But for most kids, samples of pad thai off Mom and Dad's dinner plates will probably work just fine.

I'm sure I can't afford it.

The most important prerequisite is that this datastore cannot have the maximum capacity yet. Up to ESX version 5 this maximum is set to 2TB. So if you have a datastore of for example 525 GB, enlarging it to 700GB can be done by simply expanding the underlying LUN.
First you have to enlarge the LUN on the storage array. Take any precaution you have to take to do so. If the LUN is in a pool, simply right-click and "Expand" to enlarge the LUN. If the LUN is in a traditional RAID Group layout, you can consider creating a METALUN (striped or concatenated).
Anyway, you now enlarged the LUN and you want ESX to pick it up. In Virtual Center select an ESX host and in the upper right corner of the GUI click "rescan".
Select the datastore you want to grow and choose "properties".
Now click the "increase" button.
Verify that the datastore is indeed the LUN you're seeing (size and LUN address) and press "next".
Confirm that the free space is now available and press "next" again.
Select the amount of free disk space you want to add to the existing datastore and press "next".
Now once again verify that you're expanding the original size to the new size. Both values are on this confirmation screen. Press "finish" to actually start the expansion.
You've now returned to the properties screen of this datastore, except that now the larger size is visible. If all went well all remaining ESX hosts will automatically start a rescan. If you're in doubt whether this happened or not, simply press "rescan" in the upper right corner again.
Check if the running VMs are still running, but since this is a nondisruptive action, you should be fine here and your datastore is ready for more VMs or expansion of existing VMs.

How to Be Funny: 4 Easy Steps to Improve Your Humor
Learning how to be funny can make everything easier. Let me tell you a story. A year ago, I was having dinner with my favorite person. But I hadn't said anything remotely funny in the last hour. The dinner was great. The company was great. The awkwardness was great.
You'll be more successful if you know how to make people laugh.
Use The Rule of 3
At its most basic level, the Rule of 3 establishes a pattern, then ends with something unexpected. For example, I say red, white, and blue. But what if I say red, white, and barf. It's kind of funny, and your brain perks up because it was an unexpected turn to the Rule of 3.
Play with Numbers
For those of you who dread numbers: fear not. Numbers are your best friend when it comes to being funny. Why? Because numbers are specific. When something is small, numbers tell. When something is big, numbers tell. When someone is a jerk, numbers tell. (Please forget the last sentence, but the first two are true).
When we tell a story, there are usually multiple characters in that story. More often than not, those characters have very distinct personas that people will make assumptions about. In the story of Jennifer Lawrence getting into a bar fight in Budapest, two characters are involved: Jennifer and the aggressor.
Use a Character Switch
#5 Give her a unique compliment
The easiest way to be funny is highlighting actual funny things that happen in your everyday life. This is much easier than trying to come up with jokes on the spot. Exceptionally funny people track everything they find funny and then practice sharing it.

Q. We have noticed a "sewer" smell in the laundry room and it seemed to happen whenever we did laundry. Our hot water tank is in a closet off the laundry room, but now it seems to be happening more frequently--even when we are not doing laundry. Do you have any suggestions what it could be before we have a plumber come out?
A. Your problem is an old age one when the weather is dry outside, you must keep your unused drains inside filled with water. The traps in floor drains (or any drains that haven't been used often) will eventually dry out. Dry traps or unused drains must have water activity or you will experience sewer odour from the septic tank or the city sewer system.

Norse Goddess Spotlight: Who Is Freyja?
Jennifer Wilber
Jennifer Wilber works as an ESL instructor, substitute teacher, and freelance writer. She holds a B.A. in Creative Writing and English.
Who is Freyja?
Freyja is perhaps the most well-known goddess of the Norse pantheon. Freyja is most often associated with love, war, fertility, magic, and death. Freyja is a member of the Vanir, a tribe of deities whom the ancient Norse people associated with wisdom, fertility, magic, and the ability to look into the future. Freyja rules over Fólkvangr, which means "the Field of the People" and is a heavenly field where she receives half of those who have fallen in battle. (The fallen dead are shared between Freyja and Odin, who rules over Valhalla). Freyja's hall, Sessrúmnir, lies within Fólkvangr. Freyja plays an important role in Norse mythology, and she has complex relationships to the other Norse deities.

Freyja's Role in Norse Mythology
In Norse Mythology, Freyja serves as a goddess of love, war, magic, death, and fertility. As a member of the Vanir, she is important to fertility in the ancient Norse belief system. In many stories from Norse mythology, Freyja serves as an object of love and lust amongst the gods. Freyja served an important role in everything related to sexuality in Norse beliefs, except for childbearing, of which she had little concern for.
Freyja also plays an important role in Norse mythology in looking after the dead who have fallen in battle. Freyja and Odin, according to Norse Mythology, split the fallen dead, each bringing half to their own realm for the dead. Freyja rules over Fólkvangr, a heavenly realm of the afterlife where Freyja's share of the dead who fell in battle end up. Some sources seem to imply that Freyja may also take in at least some of those who passed on in other ways as well.
Freyja was said to be adept in magic. She practiced a type of magic called Seidr, which she introduced to the gods and to humans, according to Norse mythology. This type of magic is used to change the course of fate to bring about change in the world.

Attestations of Freyja
Freyja is mentioned in quite a few traditional Norse writings. These ancient poems and stories are how we know about the beliefs and myths of the ancient Norse culture.
Freyja is mentioned several times in the Poetic Edda (a collection of anonymous Old Norse poems).
In the poem Völuspá, Freyja is said to be the wife of Óð.
The poem Grímnismál tells how Freyja receives half of the slain dead from battles in Fólkvangr.
The poem Lokasenna recounts the story of a celebration held by Ægir, in which Loki publicly accuses Freyja of taking each of the gods and elves as lovers, despite being married.
In the poem Þrymskviða, Þrymr hides Thor's hammer and won't return it unless Freyja agrees to become his bride. Freyja wants no part in that, so Loki helps Thor to dress up as Freyja in order to trick Þrymr and get his hammer back.
In the poem Hyndluljóð, Freyja helps faithful servant Óttar to find information regarding his ancestry, so he may claim his inheritance by turning him into her boar, Hildisvíni. She uses flattery and threats to get the needed information from the jötunn Hyndla.
Other information about the goddess Freyja was revealed by the Prose Edda. The Prose Edda is an Old Norse work of literature from the early 13th century. It is believed to have been written by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson sometime around the year 1220.
In chapter 24 of Gylfaginning, the birth of Freyja and her twin brother Freyr is mentioned. In this chapter, Freyja's heavenly realm of Fólkvangr is also mentioned, as is Freyja's love for love songs.
Freyja is mentioned again in chapter 29 of Gylfaginning. In this chapter, Hár says that, next to Frigg, Freyja is the highest ranked goddess, and that she owns the magical necklace Brísingamen. This chapter also reveals that Freyja is married to Óðr, who often goes on long travels without her. Freyja, in her sorrow, weeps tears of red gold while he is away. She often travels to look for him, using various aliases including Gefn, Hörn, Mardöll, Sýr, and Vanadís while on her travels. Freyja and Óðr have a very fair daughter by named Hnoss.
In chapter 49 of Gylfaginning, it is mentioned that Freyja attended the funeral of Baldr, where she drove her chariot pulled by two large cats.
At the beginning of Skáldskaparmál, Freyja is among eight goddesses in attendance at a banquet held for Ægir.
In chapter 56 of Skáldskaparmál, Freyja allows Loki to use her "falcon shape" to rescue the goddess Iðunn from the jötunn Þjazi.

Freyja's Relationship to Other Norse Deities
Freyja is part of the Vanir family of Norse gods. She is the daughter of the Norse god Njörðr, who rules over the sea, wind, crop fertility, and wealth. There is much debate as to who Freyja's mother was, but some believe that the goddess Skaði may be her mother. Freyr, a god associated with prosperity, fair weather, and fertility, is Freyja's twin brother.
Though Freyja is said to have had many lovers, she was the wife of Ódr, with whom she had two daughters named Hnoss and Gersimi. Depending on who you ask, Ódr and Odin may, in fact, be one in the same.

Freyja vs. Frigg
Freyja and Frigg were possibly originally one goddess in Norse beliefs. The differences in the characteristics between these two goddesses are superficial, and it is possible that they were both derived to the same source deity but were split into two distinct mythological characters shortly before the Norse were converted to Christianity.
Freyja is said to be the wife of Ódr, while Frigg is said to be the wife of Odinn. Ódr and Odinn come from the same word and have the same meaning, which gives credence to the theory that these two names represent the same character. The only thing that the Eddas say about Ódr, other than describing his relationship with Freyja, is that he is often away on long journeys. Odinn was also known for travelling throughout the Nine Worlds.
Both Freyja and Frigg are accused of infidelity throughout the stories. Both goddesses are adept at seidr magic and both possess magic feathers from birds-of-prey that allow them to transform.
In addition, the word for Friday in Germanic languages, such as English, can be traced back to both Freyja and Frigg. The name Freyja means "lady" and was sometimes used as a title by aristocratic women in the Viking age. Frigg comes from a root word meaning "beloved." It is possible, and highly likely, that these were two names for the same goddess.

Iconography of Freyja
Freyja is often associated with cats. She was depicted as riding a chariot pulled by large, long-haired cats, similar to modern Norwegian Forest Cats.
Freyja is often associate with wild boars, as is her brother Freyr. Freyja was said to have ridden a boar with golden bristles.
Freyja owned a magic necklace called Brísingamen. This necklace is an important symbol that is often associated with Freyja.

Freyja's Legacy
Though the local gods and goddesses were demonized by Christian invaders who sought to completely change the culture and religion of the native people of Scandinavia, Freyja's influence persisted in Scandinavian folklore, despite the influence of Christianization. In Iceland, locals still called upon Freyja for assistance using Icelandic magical staves as late as the 18th century. In the 19th century, Freyja is still acknowledged for her role as a fertility goddess among rural Swedes.
Some people in Värend, Sweden believe that Freyja arrives at Christmas night and shakes the apple trees for the sake of a good harvest. Some people leave apples in the trees for her. It is considered dangerous, however, to leave a plough outdoors. If Freyja sits on it, it will no longer work.
In modern literature, Freyja is often used as a Norse counterpart to the Roman Venus or Greek Aphrodite. There are a number of modern poems, songs, and books written about Freyja. Freyja (and alternate spellings such as Freya and Frøya) has become more common as a given name for girls since the 1990s.
