Redeveloping an entire terminal at one of the world's busiest airports
To meet the needs of modern travellers and revolutionise the guest experience, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is redeveloping Terminal 1, one of its oldest terminals. Terminal 1 was built in the early 1960s; over time, it has become less able to accommodate the millions of passengers it welcomes each year.
The core of the project is the construction of a new boarding area totaling more than 500,000 square feet. Boarding Area B will feature 25 new gates, including 7 "swing gates" that give international arrivals direct access to the US Customs and Border Protection Federal Inspection Area. The terminal will also have a new centralised security checkpoint, a state-of-the-art consolidated baggage-handling system, dining and retail concessions and post-security connecting walkways.
The airport also wanted to raise the bar with a world-class, environmentally friendly project expected to earn LEED Gold certification. Accomplishing this will require tearing down the building and renovating it from scratch. When fully completed in 2022, Terminal 1 is expected to meet or exceed award-winning environmental standards. This will be a six-year, $2.4 billion redesign project – the largest ever undertaken by the airport.
And the goal is to rebuild the entire terminal without ever closing it.

Building the design team
The design joint venture consists of international firms HKS Architects and Woods Bagot, plus local partners ED2 International and Kendall Young Associates, which combined their talents to design and deliver the 25-gate Boarding Area B project. TSAO Design Group served as a primary design subconsultant. Austin Webcor JV, a joint venture of Austin Commercial and Webcor Builders, is responsible for the project's design management and construction.
With the project owned by the airport and the City and County of San Francisco, key opportunities for the team included integrating a vast body of stakeholder expectations, from wayfinding requirements to Arts Commission needs – all while implementing technical and operation requirements and operational phasing, as well as designing a high-level guest experience, for which SFO is known.
"A project with this level of sophistication requires bringing together the best talent from across the world. Team members collaborating across San Francisco, New York, Melbourne, New Delhi and Dubai can see the design updating live."
—Pardis Mirmalek, Design Technology Leader, Woods Bagot
Creating the design vision
To develop a collaborative vision for the project, the design team and airport representatives got together in a visioning workshop. Bringing together input from the stakeholders, the team found that its members shared a common vision: They wanted the terminal to have a uniquely San Franciscan feel that captured the romance of travel.
Working with the theme "Bay Area Naturalism," the team sought to create a relaxed and functional environment that would serve all of the terminal's future users. According to Woods Bagot director Carsten Voecker, "Terminal 1 is going to be frequented by around 7 million passengers a year and all of these passengers will find an environment that is tailored for their very own needs."
With collaboration the key to success, the project kicked off with construction of the "big room," a 33,000-square-foot structure on the outskirts of the airport. It housed more than 200 designers, engineers and contractors who would collaborate on and co-ordinate every step of the project.

"We needed the right tools to work on a platform where we were up to date and could keep up with the project pace."

Crafting the design-technology framework
Co-ordinating a multifirm, multiple-stakeholder, public-private partnership on a design-build project for a busy international airport – all while keeping the airport's daily operations running – was no simple task.
Woods Bagot design-technology leader Pardis Mirmalek emphasizes the need for an integrated framework to enable co-ordination of multiple design iterations with the project's numerous stakeholders. "This is a trillion-dollar industry that loses about $100 billion each year," Mirmalek says. "As creative professionals, we go through hundreds, if not thousands, of design iterations that need to be co-ordinated across numerous disciplines and stakeholders. That could result in a major loss to building budget and time if not rationalised or set up in an integrated framework."
Crystal Barriscale, regional director of urban design at HKS, explains: "It was quite a complex team that needed the right tools to work in a platform where we could stay up to date and keep up with the project's pace. The big challenge was how to collaborate with a 24-person or greater consultant team and a large builder team to deliver the project."

Collaboration made easy using cloud-based model
To handle the complexity of the project, the team chose the latest design-technology tools, including BIM 360 Design (formerly Collaboration for Revit) to co-ordinate globally and across teams, consultants, contractors and stakeholders. This allowed all of the joint venture teams to keep their own globally distributed studios in sync.
"A project with this level of sophistication requires bringing together the best talent from across the world," Mirmalek says. "Team members collaborating across San Francisco, New York, Melbourne, New Delhi and Dubai can see the design updating live."
BIM 360 streamlined the process from design to delivery, letting studios, contractors and stakeholders collaborate through one common cloud-based model.

Russia to Arrest Cosmonauts for Discussing Non-Traditional Orientations During Repair Mission
Posted by BC Bass on Thursday, August 22, 2013 in anti-gay cosmonauts gay rights homosexuality international space station russia satire Science spacewalk World News | Comments : 0
SAN NARCISO, Calif. (Bennington Vale Evening Transcript) -- Now that the slaying of an Australian baseball player in Oklahoma has become old news, the contentious debate of gun rights has once again given way to the contentious issue of gay rights. Much of the uproar stems from Russia's renewed sense of homophobia, which has resulted in the passage of recently ratified anti-gay laws that threaten to disrupt the 2014 Winter Olympics being hosted in Sochi. On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin shocked the global community anew by announcing that two cosmonauts would be arrested under the law upon their return to Earth for "propagandizing non-traditional sexual actions" during their attempts to repair a camera on the International Space Station.
Issues affecting the LGBT community took center stage in today's media. Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier sentenced to 35 years in military prison for leaking classified documents that portrayed the government in an unfavorable light, revealed his sexual identity issues in 2010 at the time of his arrest. On Thursday, Manning released a press statement confirming his desire to live as a woman.
"As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning, I am a female," Manning wrote.
A day before, actor Wentworth Miller, who was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2006 for his role in the series "Prison Break," came out as gay to protest the Russian government's anti-gay legislation. Miller's mother is of Russian heritage.
In June 2013, after two decades of decriminalizing homosexuality, Russia took a major step backward by passing a federal bill that bans the distribution of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" to minors, using heavy fines, threats of imprisonment and overly broad interpretations to punish violators. The new law, to be enforced during the 2014 Winter Olympics, has continued to provoke outcry from athletes, celebrities, gay rights advocates and other groups around the world.
And yet, Russian officials have betrayed no signs of relenting, evident in this morning's announcement about the arrest warrants issued for the country's famous spacewalkers.
Cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Alexander Misurkin were scheduled for a more than five-hour spacewalk Thursday morning outside the hull of the Zvezda command module to attach an experimental camera aiming system on a telescope mount. Because of technical problems discovered shortly after the beginning of the excursion, the project was delayed. The device was eventually installed, but the entire ordeal was captured and transmitted on video. Russian officials said the footage reveals offensive non-traditional sexual behaviors.
"This was a deeply troubling and embarrassing incident for the Sovie...Russian Federation," said Boris Demidov, a spokesperson for Roscosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency.
"We are still trying to determine how many impressionable children witnessed this disgusting display," he continued. "Here were have two heroic specimens of Russian men, both straddling a phallic object together in space, holding hands, seemingly unable to figure out how the long shaft should slide into the proper opening at the base. Both utterly confused about what seems a natural process to normal people."
Demidov described transmissions from the cosmonauts to flight controllers as "communications full of homosexual code words and propaganda."
Upon reaching the attach point, the spacewalkers began repeatedly talking about "mounting plates," bolting things on "in the wrong orientation" and "bi-axial platforms" -- all conspicuous allusions to gay male sex acts, according to Roscosmos leaders.
"It was their impression that the work station was not oriented properly," NASA commentator Pat Ryan reported from the United States.
"It was not innocent," Demidov protested. "Yurchikhin and Misurkin have been corrupted by the decadent Westerners they have had the sad occasion to meet during joint missions. They went on and on about mis-alignments and non-traditional orientation and inconvenient positions and all these bi-axial things and screws. Minutes of chatter about missing screws. It was appalling."
Toward the end of the mission, Russian officials stated, Yurchikhin and Misurkin decided to compensate for the problems with orientation using unorthodox methods.
"They told flight engineers that there really wasn't anything too terrible about re-orientation once they became familiar with it, and that they could still make it fit," Demidov explained, blushing. "So they forced the shaft into the wrong mount, using a hole never intended for that purpose. They said they could just compensate for this misalignment -- that it worked just as well, it wasn't hurting anything and that people would just have to accept it."
When Yurchikhin and Misurkin's mission ends, they will be met in Russia by federal law enforcement agents who will take them into immediate custody as examples to the public.

As deadlines near for service members to get COVID vaccines, the vast majority have complied
American Homefront Project | By Carson Frame
Published November 1, 2021 at 8:01 AM EDT
Corpsman Yesenia Ocenasek, right, administers a COVID-19 vaccine to Aviation Ordnanceman Gunner Collado in Newport News, Va., on Sept. 8.
The Pentagon says fewer than 10 percent of active duty troops remain totally unvaccinated. Some have requested exemptions; other face punishment.
After Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered America's 1.4 million active duty service members to get COVID-19 vaccines, the service branches set their own deadlines for compliance.
The Air Force set the most ambitious deadline - Nov.r 2. The deadline in the Navy and the Marine Corps is Nov. 28, and the Army's cutoff date is Dec.r 15.
The Department of Defense says more than 90 percent of active duty troops have received at least one vaccine dose. Some of the rest have requested medical or religious exemptions. Others face possible punishment for disregarding the order.
At the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, lines at the central immunization clinic were steady in mid-October, with a mix of uniformed service members and civilians awaiting the vaccine.
Each day, the clinic serves between 150 to 200 people, down from about 800 per day in January, right after the vaccine received its emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration.
Lt. John Barrow, the official in charge, says Navy leaders have been transparent with sailors about the vaccine and the requirement.
"We provide education, we have subject matter experts, and we have command instructions," Barrow said. "And we tell them that there is a process in place if you choose not to."
There's also a built-in incentive. Right before ships leave port, Barrow sees a small bump in vaccinations, likely because immunized sailors can avoid onboard quarantine and masking protocols. He said more than 99 percent of the Navy has already received at least one dose.
Even with that, he's had to dispel a few vaccine myths shared by sailors.
"That you became magnetic. The 5G. That it was a tracking device for the government to track you. Sterility in males and females. Those are the top ones that we had to show there is no evidence to support any of that," Barrow said.
Commands throughout the services have adopted the same direct approach.
Air Force Lt Col. Matthew Kowalski oversees hundreds of security forces personnel at Joint Base San Antonio - Fort Sam Houston. Though he's encountered only a handful of vaccine resistors, he says he treats every case as unique and tries to get to the root of the airman's concern -- whether it's medical, religious or ideological.
Higher-ups gave him a list of answers to frequently asked questions.
He said those include, "How the vaccine was developed, how the vaccine has been rolled out, what the role of the FDA has been. Certain ingredients of the vaccine that are in other vaccines or even other foods that we take daily."
If a service member refuses the vaccine without an exemption, commanders have a stable of disciplinary options under military law, including administrative paperwork, nonjudicial punishment, or court-martial charges. Unvaccinated troops also can't deploy or travel on military planes.
Those who remain unconvinced have found their options narrowing. One Marine, stationed at Parris Island, S.C., said she's among those who have refused the vaccine.
She asked to be identified only by her first name, Angel, because the Marines have started disciplinary action against her.
"My primary fear is that I really don't know how my body will react to it," she said. "I'm just a strong believer that if it's not broken, don't try to fix it."
Angel said she's concerned the vaccine might make her ill because she has a family history of heart inflammation. But she's also been influenced by some misleading or false claims she's heard about the vaccine that she's not sure whether to believe.
The stakes are high. She said she's already been counseled by leadership and told she could lose her health, education, and retirement benefits if she refuses a lawful order.
"It's definitely taking a toll on me. Definitely stressing me out," she said. "It's a lot of confusion back and forth inside myself, in the sense of 'Is it worth it or not?'"
Angel said she's one of the only people in her unit who have formally refused the vaccine.
Kowalski, the security forces commander in San Antonio, said debates about the vaccine have pretty much stopped in his unit. He added that most rumors about vaccine safety have been naturally dispelled by time and peer acceptance.

The role of nutrition in critical care
Nutritional support, which is integrated in the disease management of critically ill patients, has been shown to improve clinical outcomes such as reducing (infectious) complications, hospital length of stay and even mortality.1,2 If normal oral intake is not possible, early enteral nutrition, (within 48 hours) by means of oral nutrition supplements or tube feeding is preferred above parenteral nutrition. 3,4
There has been scientific progress in the field of medical nutrition, and now there is a better understanding of optimal feeding in the critical care setting2 ,5, 6, 7, 8,9. Both clinical nutrition guidelines and ICU experts have recognised the need for a new, individualised approach to nutritional care10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
For surgical patients it is important to reduce the period of starvation just before and after surgery, to prevent inadequate nutrient intake days before and after surgery and to modify the metabolic response to surgical stress. For intensive care unit (ICU) patients it is important to target the right amount of energy and protein intake without overfeeding the patient. For both surgical and ICU patients, there is the challenge to deal with the disease-related compromised gut. Immunonutrition for ICU patients has long been considered to bring additional medical benefits, however most recent guidelines have changed towards not recommending high dosage of immune-modulating nutrients. Immune-modulating nutrients refers to nutrients that aim to alter the immune response.
"The significance of nutrition in the hospital setting (especially the ICU) cannot be overstated."

World Making
Why is Australia allowing the cotton industry to export so much water?
Master of Sustainability student, Tony Adams, questions the allocation of Australia's scarce water resources in an unregulated market and proposes a more rational pricing mechanism.

By By Tony Adams, Master of Sustainability student at The University of Sydney
While there are drier countries than Australia, after Antarctica, Australia is the driest continent on the planet. Yet, Australia is one of the world's largest exporters of water. Australian water exports come primarily in the form of virtual water – the water used to produce the products we extract, grow or manufacture. This article questions the allocation of our scarce water resources in an unregulated market and proposes a more rational pricing mechanism.
Australian water: a scarce resource
While parts of Australia, such as North Queensland, receive significantly large rainfall, other areas, such as he Murray-Darling River Basin are not so plentiful. The long-run average rainfall in the basin is only 470mm per year (about half of Australia's average). The water footprint network identifies the Murray-Darling as one of the most stressed river basins in the world based on average blue water scarcity. Blue water is the term used for fresh surface and groundwater, which includes the water in the rivers of the basin as well as the water stored underneath in the natural aquifers of the basin.
Australian water exports
Usually, water is not directly traded between countries. While some trade does exist, particularly bottled drinking water and water piped to neighbouring countries; due to the cost of transporting such a bulky and heavy commodity, water is not a highly-traded commodity. The global trade in water occurs through the trading of various water-intensive goods – virtual water. Australia is the seventh largest gross exporter of virtual water and the fourth largest net (exports minus imports) exporter after India, Argentina and the USA. (See WFN)
Water and cotton production in Australia
One of the largest users of this water resource in Australia is the production of cotton. Cotton production is one of the largest users of water in Australian agriculture. Australia is the eighth largest cotton producer and the third largest cotton exporter in the world. Over 95% of Australia's cotton crop is produced in the Murray Darling River basin.
As many of the arguments supporting cotton are based on the value brought to the economy, it is appropriate to measure this value on a water usage basis. The table below calculates the value of production per mega litre of water used:
Data based on Value of Agricultural Commodities produced and Water consumption by commodity for 2014-15 by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
*Value per dollar is conservative as water usage is based on water usage for Production of meat cattle plus water usage for hay production. True value per GL is in the range of $ 8,409 – $21,414.
While the value of the cotton industry is significant, when measured against its use of water, particularly given the water strains in the Murray Darling River Basin where it is primarily grown, the cotton industry's value is questionable.
Why does Australia export so much water through its cotton industry? Simple economics. If the combination of water cost, land availability and productivity make it a profitable activity, then a cotton industry will evolve. The key question then becomes: if water is so scarce, why is it so cheap as to allow this high water intensive crop to be so profitable? The answer to this lies in part in the complicated structure of water rights and water trading. Many claim that traded water markets, such as that created in Australia, establishes an adequate market price for water. However, as the only participants in these markets are generally the owners of water rights (historically due to land holding) and active users of water (irrigators), the needs of the ecosystem itself are often neglected.
While it is often argued that Australia is one of the most water efficient cotton producing countries in the world, the normal economic arguments of competitive advantage need to be tempered by the largely ignored realities of both water scarcity and acknowledgement of the inefficiencies in the pricing of water. A recent journal article by Jia, Long and Liu argues that the basic underlying economic premise of the water market is flawed and that water will be misused in arid regions due to the availability of land. Further arguments centred on the number of communities impacted or people employed are spurious because these communities could equally be supported, and jobs provided, by other, less water intensive, agricultural activities.
How can we address Australian water scarcity?
For Australia to ensure that the best use of our scarce water be achieved, a more progressive water charging system needs to be introduced. Agriculture that is highly water intensive should be charged more for their excess water use (over some benchmark) to ensure that the price mechanism reflects the true scarcity of water, and that market economics, with failing water markets, don't allow the ongoing misuse of this valuable resource.

HP to release Open webOS in September, first development pieces released today
By Daniel Bader
Jan 25, 20125:17 PM EST
HP announced it was going to open-source webOS at some point in the future, but no specific mention was made as to when the tools, and the finished product, would be available. Though we don't have the former just yet, the company is releasing the Enyo 2.0 application framework for developers to seamlessly create tablet and phone apps.
Another interesting announcement is that webOS is moving to a Linux-based kernel, obviously to entice existing manufacturers familiar with the Android kernel to build devices on HP's now-free OS. When the finished product is released in September, it will be under the Apache 2.0 licensing scheme, which "provides a legal framework that balances open innovation and a dependable user experience, which is consistent with HP's vision for webOS."
Between now and Open webOS' September release, HP has outlined a number of tools and milestones it plans to reach. Next month will bring Qt WebKit extensions and Javascript core, while March will bring the Linux kernel source and graphics extensions for the framework.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 25, 2012 – HP today began executing its plan to deliver an open webOS by committing to a schedule for making the platform's source code available under an open source license.
The company aims to complete this milestone in its entirety by September.
HP also announced it is releasing version 2.0 of webOS's innovative developer tool, Enyo. Enyo 2.0 enables developers to write a single application that works across mobile devices and desktop web browsers, from the webOS, iOS and Android platforms to the Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers – and more. The source code for Enyo is available today, giving the open source community immediate access to the acclaimed application framework for webOS.
By contributing webOS to the open source community, HP unleashes the creativity of hardware and software developers to build a new generation of applications and devices.
"HP is bringing the innovation of the webOS platform to the open source community," said Bill Veghte, executive vice president and chief strategy officer, HP. "This is a decisive step toward meeting our goal of accelerating the platform's development and ensuring that its benefits will be delivered to the entire ecosystem of web applications."
The webOS code will be made available under the Apache License, Version 2.0, beginning with the source code for Enyo.
webOS roadmap
Over the first half of the year, HP will make individual elements of webOS source code available – from core applications like Mail and Calendar to its Linux kernel – until the full code base is contributed to the open source community by September.

As part of our Kickstarter for Screams Heard 'Round the World, we offered to write obituaries for donors. Here are the obituaries for our dearly departed, very much beloved donors. If you would like your very own obituary, please visit our store.
The literary world is in mourning today after the sudden and unexpected passing of Nick Ulanowski. After the recent vampire uprising, Nick rallied his community and formed a militia to fight off the ghastly undead. Nick co-invented the garlic bomb, a device which, when detonated, sends shrapnel and garlic into the undead. Nick had 73 confirmed kills under his belt before being ambushed by a pack of vampires. He heroically sacrificed himself so that his squadron could escape to fight another day. According to one of his squad mates, his last words were, "Come and get me, you bloodsucking bastards!" He was last seen hurling garlic bombs at the swarming undead, laughing with glee as they exploded, killing several vampires before being overwhelmed by the horde. In addition to inventing the weapon that will ultimately destroy the undead, Nick was a poet. His book, As the Moonlight Shines, is a testament to the human spirit's triumph over the undead. He will be sorely missed. In lieu of flowers, please donate garlic to the Vampire Slayers Association.
The unexpected death of Nadira Bonavita shocked the world today. Nadira will be missed by all, especially at dinner time, where her culinary skills revolutionized the world of cooking as we know it. When vegetables gained sentience and began to grow little arms and legs, Nadira was the one who warned us that we were all doomed, and we should have listened to her. Instead, we thought that the vegetable monstrosities were cute little pets, which ultimately led to humanity's downfall. Nadira worked tirelessly against the vegetable uprising, single-handedly defeating an entire army of carrot-creatures with nothing but a potato peeler and a pot lid. For her valor, she was awarded the Medal of Honor. We wish that Nadira had died peacefully, but that is not the case. She was attacked and overpowered by evil sentient cauliflower while rescuing a bus full of puppies and children. It was a close battle, though, as Nadira managed to kill and cook seven of the cauliflower-monsters, preparing a delicacy and finally making cauliflower edible. Witnesses say that her final words were, "We all know cauliflower is disgusting. I've always wanted to try and make it edible." Although she lost her life, she triumphed over the bland and tasteless cauliflower, creating a dish whose praises are still being sung. In lieu of flowers, please kill a vegetable in her honor.


There hasn't quite been anything like Harry Potter–and there probably never will be.
Seven years ago today, readers across the world lined up in front of their favorite book stores for the release of a book. Its first day of sales shattered records (which had been previously been set by its predecessor, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sold 8.3 million copies in the United States and 2.65 million copies in the United Kingdom. It was estimated that the book sold so quickly that 15 books were sold a second–a second.
The release of J.K. Rowling's final installment in the Harry Potter series brought masses of people together for midnight release parties. It was a phenomenon never seen before. Sure, people had been lining up for movies and even concerts, but the thought of people partying to read? That was groundbreaking.
Fans reached the final pages of the book–the long-awaited Epilogue that Rowling had promised so many years earlier. The cover was closed and the end had been given.
And a lot has happened since then. In a sense, Harry Potter is the book that keeps giving.
When Deathly Hallows reached its film adaption, it set the trend of two-part finales that book-to-film adaptions seem so fond of. Movies like 'Breaking Dawn', 'Mockingjay', 'The Hobbit', and even 'Allegiant' are and have been following in the footsteps of WB's decision.
One of the greatest manners in which Harry Potter has lived on is in its theme park. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was announced before the release date of Deathly Hallows, on May 31, 2007.
The theme park, which was originally scheduled to open to the public in 2009, officially opened its doors on June 18, 2010. Fans of the books were able to dive into the locations they had grown to love. Hogwarts was finally a reality (in a manner of speaking), as was Hogsmeade and… butterbeer (yum!) With the recent expansion of The Wizarding World, fans are now able to explore not just Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, but Diagon Alley and Gringotts as well. For many, this is the closest they believe they'll ever get to the books becoming reality.
And, of course, there's J.K. Rowling. The author hasn't faded into the background since the release of Deathly Hallows. On the contrary, Jo (as many affectionately call her) has been making headlines in the last few years. Last year, a bombshell was dropped on the world when they learned that she had secretly published a mystery novel, The Cuckoo's Calling. The book, which shot straight to the best-seller charts within hours of the revelation, introduced Rowling's most notable post-Potter character to date: Cormoran Strike. Strike recently starred in her latest book, The Silkworm, and is expected to make several more returns in upcoming years. A media frenzy also surrounded Rowling with the release of her first post-Potter novel, The Casual Vacancy, which was received with mixed reviews from Rowling fans and non-fans alike.
So where does that bring everyone now? Years after the final pages had been read, what is there to say about the Harry Potter craze that once knocked everyone off their broomsticks? Was it a fad? A phenomenon? A lifestyle?
I think many would say that Harry Potter hasn't died. In fact, some have referred to its fan base as "the fandom that lived." Indeed, many agree that it wasn't just a fad. It wasn't just the trendy thing to do. The majority of fans who lined out of the bookstores seven years ago are adults now. Yet even as their lives have moved on, many still think fondly back to the days of cloaks and wands. For a few, it may be one of the things that bonds the interests of new and old readers of our age. A new generation is being introduced to the story of the boy wizard who charmed the hearts of millions, not so much unlike the young readers of last decade.
Ask a 20-some-year-old what got them reading. There's a good chance Harry Potter will be mentioned somewhere in the conversation (and maybe also something about a missing letter).
And so, in that sense, Harry Potter has become–quite literally–the boy who lived.

FATCA, tax evasion and Vietnam veterans
A few years ago, attending an event at the Institute for Economic Affairs, a London think-tank closely associated with libertarian right-wing causes, this blogger found himself sitting next to a very agitated American. The subject under discussion was, of course, tax, or more specifically Britain's highly discriminatory non-dom rules which give tax haven treatment to super-rich people living in Britain. TJN favours their abolition. He, a non-dom, was vehemently in favour of their retention.
Like many on the libertarian right, the core of his argument was that he was a 'wealth-creator'. On closer examination, however, it turned out he was an investment banker, specialising in mergers and acquisitions. Far from creating wealth he did the opposite: cutting existing jobs, set up aggressive tax avoidance structures, and generally destroyed economic value. And though he probably earned a fortune doing this, he still resented paying taxes: it goes with the territory.
This attitude is deeply embedded within global business elites. Swisster, the online Swiss newsletter, reports that expat American citizens living in Switzerland are getting hot under the collar about the recently enacted Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) which requires non-American financial institutions, UBS, for example, to automatically disclose client information relating to US citizens to the relevant authorities, i.e. the Inland Revenue Services.
Reporting on a 'town hall' event organised in Geneva by American Citizens Abroad, Swisster suggests that measures implemented by Washington this year will "will make tax compliance an even more onerous burden for savers and their money managers." But before you get too concerned about the onerous burden issue, just reflect on two statistics from the same article.
First, while all eyes are focussed on the debt situation in Greece and southern Europe, the debt build-up in the USA is beyond eye-watering:
With a debt projection of 20 trillion dollars by the year 2015, government staffers are whacking rules on foreigners to bring more money back into their coffers from abroad.
Second, while tax compliance in Greece is exceptionally poor and has unarguably contributed to the fiscal crisis engulfing that country, American expats aren't exactly angels. As Swisster reports:
"An expert panel advised against deliberately breaking the law, but statistics show that only 6.6 percent of Americans abroad are fully compliant with tax reporting requirements, said one speaker, who cannot be identified due to the Chatham House rule."
Do the sums and you'll find that 93.4 per cent of Americans abroad are not fully tax compliant with tax reporting requirements, which is a pretty astonishing statistics for a country which is regarded as having one of the toughest tax administrations in the world.
But maybe poor compliance is not so surprising when one considers how deeply tax evasion has rooted itself in right-wing libertarian culture, and the extraordinary excuses spouted by tax cheats. On which note the following comment, reported in the Swisster article, ranks among the most idiotic:
"The crowd at the Webster 'town hall' event – which was held under the Chatham House rule – hissed quietly as experts listed the growing number of rules contributing to the tax burden on Americans living abroad.
"Some of these guys served in Vietnam," said one attendee, who asked not to be identified."

I went to see the celebrated "Badass" author Jen Sincero speak, and she kept repeating "act as if". I liked this mantra immediately but it took me a minute, more like 2 weeks, for this practice to really be absorbed and put into play.
Jen S. was getting at the fact that you have to be one step ahead of yourself in business (and perhaps in goal setting in general) – which is a hard concept to wrap your head around. I started to think of this idea and how it would apply to my business. I imagined myself 6 months or 1 year in the future and how successful I would be (keep in mind I was still caught up in seminar woot-woot mentality). I had to begin to plan accordingly.
These ideas translated into spending money I didn't have to create a structure that was bigger than what I currently needed to support the business I have – act as if (I already have it).
Armed with my new found enthusiasm that comes with attending networking and pump-you-up events I began to act as if. I increased my computer support systems to the "executive" packages to be ready for the clients I will have – act as if (I already have them). I hired 2 freelancers to do various tasks for me as they were taking up a lot of my time. I was now free to take on all of the new writing jobs that were going to come my way – act as if (I already doubled my writing jobs).
Meanwhile, back in Reality-ville, the very next day a client I had worked with for 2 years called to cancel their service. Immediately. As this was one of my first clients I did not have a contract with them (lesson learned for future!) so I lost the revenue immediately. Gulp. Now, not only did I have to get new clients to fill the "as if" gap, I had to replace old clients. Harsh but important lesson. Please learn from my missteps.
Before getting carried away acting "as if" I recommend a pulse check on your current business. This, of course, I learned the hard way. I incurred expenses assuming I would continue as if AND increase business. Right. Curve ball #1000 of Entrepreneurship. Just when you think you got it, the universe presents its sense of humour: Universe 1; The Writing Suite 0.
I do agree with the "Badass" queen in theory. At some stage of your business, you have to grow BEFORE you have the funds or revenue to support the growth. If your business doesn't grow, it dies. You have to stay one step ahead to be prepared to accept new business when it comes along. When and how is up to each entrepreneur and their comfort levels regarding business growth. Pushing yourself keeps you on the edge of your comfort zone and helps you believe you deserve more and bigger business deals. That confidence will help you successfully grow.
Hustle, girl! The hustle is real!


In spite of the simplicity of some of the games, they have been favorites through the centuries thanks to their many variations and endless entertainment possibilities. Many of the games offer the opportunity for both strategic and tactical thinking.
In Carl's Crypto and WordPuzzle your knowledge of crosswords will be put to the test.
In the games for two or more players you can choose to play against an animated computer player, who's skill level you can change, or play against another player on the same computer. You can also play those games against another player over the Internet or through a network.


I had a hot date with a very handsome man last night. Of course, it was my husband. What kind of woman do you think I am?
Back to my hot date. We went out for dinner at a local Japanese restaurant and then walked down the way for gelato....chocolate hazelnut, if you're wondering. It was my first gelato ever and I'll probably become a regular there. It was that good.
It was so great just to be together and walk while holding each other's hands rather than gripping tightly to tiny hands that try to wriggle away as you cross the street. Although, that's fun, too. We talked about our plans for the future and our current stresses. We laughed at funny things the kids say recently and tried to compare notes on why we think Brother is having sleeping issues. We weren't interrupted even once by questions about what a word we'd just said meant or questions about how to spell it. It was just....nice.
After the fabulous gelato, we headed to the movie theater. We have both wanted to see Hancock and this was our chance. Despite all of the bad reviews I've read, we both actually liked it. Judging by the audience in the theater with us, most of them loved it, too. Especially the guy beside of me. Seriously, dude. He was all about it. Talking back to the characters and laughing so hard he doubled over several times. I loved that part best. There were some unanswered questions in the end but all in all, I liked it.
You know something? I love dating my husband. We are finally at a point in our parenting and our marriage that we don't feel guilty or anxious about leaving our kids with a sitter to spend quality time together. We both realize that this is what keeps our marriage happy and alive. I won't tell you that the first few times we did this, we had no plan of what we'd do and we wandered around aimlessly checking the clock to see if it was too early to go home without being considered losers by our newlywed babysitter. I would never share that. I'd also never tell you that our idea of a great time is to just go to the bookstore and look through books and magazines. Because if I told you that, you would think we were some nerdy couple and we most certainly are not. We are young, hip and lots o'fun.

The MegaManEffect is an application that emulates an effect seen in the classic NES game Mega Man 2. When you launch a Mac OS X application, the screen goes dark, stars sweep the night sky and your application's icon is presented in a blue letter box bar with a cheesy 8-bit music introduction.

![MegaManEffect](images/sample_screen.jpg)

MegaManEffect was written while I attended the ADHOC/MacHack conference in 2004 and took second place in the ADHOC Labs Showcase! In the summer of 2005 the application hit a nerve in the community generating tons of interest and downloads. It is to this day one of the most distributed pieces of code I've even written.

For awhile after various personal site redesigns,  the MegaManEffect download page had disappeared. After many, many emails in 2007 I finally put it back online and even upgraded it to a Universal Binary so it runs great on Intel Macs.

* [Download the MegaManEffect Application](https://github.com/zorn/MegaManEffect/releases/download/1.1/MegaManEffect.app.zip)
* [See MegaManEffect demoed on Attack of the Show](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6q3vfQKTJI)
* [See the original MegaMan 2 game in action](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDBXnWpvmE)

The source for MegaManEffect is available under a BSD license.

While the app binary still works, the code itself isn't terribly "good". It was written as I was still learning Cocoa (2004).

Представнички дом Сједињених Америчких Држава () један је од два дома у Конгресу Сједињених Америчких Држава, који има дводомну (бикамералну) структуру. Други дом Конгреса је Сенат Сједињених Америчких Држава.

Први члан Устава Сједињених Америчких Држава одређује која овлашћења има Представнички дом. Тако овај дом доноси федералне законе који важе на цијелој територији САД. Законе које усвоји Представнички дом мора одобрити и Сенат, а мора их потписати предсједник САД. Уколико предсједник стави вето на закон, он неће ступити на снагу, осим ако и Представнички дом и Сенат поново не изгласају закон двотрећинском већином у сваком дому.

Број представника који ће имати нека савезна држава у Представничком дому зависи од броја становника сваке државе, односно пропорционалан је том броју, али је свакој савезној држави загарантовано најмање једно мјесто. Представнички дом је првобитно имао свега 65 посланика из 13 држава (биран је један представник на сваких 30.000 становника). Са растом броја становника растао је и број посланика (конгресмена) у Представничком дому, али и квота од 30.000 становника (на колико је долазио један посланик). Представнички дом је 1920. имао 435 посланика (тада се бирао један на сваких 350.000 становника), а тај број требало је да се повећа већ 1929. године. Тада је одлучено да ће се у овај дом трајно бирати 435 посланика без обзира на пораст становништва. Тренутно се број посланика из појединачних савезних држава одређује на основу пописа становништва који се врши сваких 10 година. Најмногољуднија савезна држава Калифорнија тренутно има 53 посланика.

Представнички дом, по Уставу има неколико искључивих надлежности:
 да иницира доношење закона који се тичу пореза;
 да покреће опозив (импичмент) федералних службеника;
 да бира предсједника у случају да електорски колегијум није у могућности да то уради.

За предсједника Представничког дома се обично бира шеф посланичке групе странке која има већину у дому.

Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. I don't remember it much now, but I really enjoyed it.
The Bear and the Nighingale by Katherine Arden. As with most hyped books, though, I'm afraid that I won't like it and will be disappointed.
The most recent book to fit this description is Diane Duane's The Book of Night with Moon. It normally wouldn't be as much up and down, but with my cat having health issues, it made it hard to read about other cats having trouble. And it is a well-written book, so it packs an emotional punch.
Cosmos by Carl Sagan. I didn't expect it to be so closely tied to the TV show by the same name. I thought it was going to be deeper and harder to connect to. I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible this one was.
Oh. I was supposed to pick just one? Oops.
Yeah, just like the books, I can't pick just one snickerdoodle, either.
I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you feel like playing along make sure to ping me so I can see what your answers are!
Oooh I may try this later. I enjoyed The Bear and the Nightengale but I had similar concerns before starting it!
Now, my question is, do you like your snickerdoodles hard and crunchy or soft and almost gooey?
The "Public" approves your answer.
I have not had much luck finding a soft gingersnap. They're usually too firm for my taste (but I eat them anyway). I'd agree, though, they are both awesome.
This is a fun tag! And I like your choices, though I haven't read all of them. Seanan McGuire would be one of my picks for Thin Mints, actually.
I think I'll pass on the Mira Grant books. Those edge toward horror and sound much too dark and creepy for me. But I want to read the Incryptid series and the October Daye series for sure.
I'm curious about some of the Mira Grant books. They do tend toward horror, but some seem to still be the kind of book I might enjoy. But I love the Incryptid and October Daye series! I haven't come close to catching up on either yet, but they're fun.

Express LOL: The tongue-in-cheek review of Vishal Sikka's appointment as Infosys CEO
Infosys CEO search enters final phase with screening of external candidates
Kannada film star and housing minister M H Ambareesh will appear at a rally on Sunday.
The Congress in Karnataka got a boost with a key figure in the Vokkaliga heartland, Kannada film star and housing minister M H Ambareesh, returning to Bangalore following nearly 50 days of treatment for a life-threatening lung condition, including a month in Singapore.
The actor, who enjoys a sizeable following in the Mandya region where he is the district in-charge, indicated Friday following his return that he would resolve "minor differences" within the unit which is threatening the prospects of the party's candidate — actor Ramya Divya Spandana.
"We will win in Mandya, I have the confidence," said Ambareesh, who is set to make a cameo appearance in the election campaign in Mandya on Sunday. He also said he would be campaigning Saturday for former Infosys CEO Nandan Nilekani in the Bangalore South constituency, where there is an almost 20 percent Vokkaliga population in a nearly 20 lakh electorate.
The Kannada film star, in whose absence the Mandya unit of the Congress has been involved in a pitched factional feud involving his own supporters and those of former chief minister S M Krishna, refused to blame anybody for the disputes that have been threatening to derail party prospects in a seat that it wrested from the Janata Dal (Secular) only in 2013.
Ambareesh on Friday said the 31-year-old actress was naive on account of her age and some of her actions and statements may have inadvertently hurt his supporters. He said these were minor differences that could be sorted out.
"What is wrong if she says it was her father who brought me into politics. She is very young and was probably not born when I entered politics so she knows of things only from the time she reached an age of understanding. Whatever the situation, it is for seniors like me to help and guide young people like her," Ambareesh said. "What is there if she said she knows Rahul Gandhi. I know him as well. But I don't think she said anything to the extent that people are saying she did," the actor-turned-politician said.
The housing minister said he had advised Ramya that she had somehow managed to win the polls in 2013 but that she needed to work hard in reaching out to the people to sustain the support.
Looking at the national picture, Ambareesh said he had attempted making a calculation with his limited political knowledge on whether the electoral numbers were stacking up in favour of Narendra Modi as is being widely perceived.
"The BJP is saying Modi will be prime minister. I want to know how he is going to do it when the numbers don't seem to be adding up," the minister said.

2 Modi lacks national vision: Anand Sharma
3 Poojary banking on 'sympathy' for Dakshina Kannada seat

Nikolao glaros
October 1894 - July 21, 1915
Headstone Inscription: (Translated from Ancient Greek)
Nikolao Glaros from Ikaria Ascended 21 July 1915 Year 21
Nikolao Glaros came from Icaria, Greece. We found a New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 that shows a Nikolao Glaros arriving at the New York Harbor on September 28, 1906. The ship's manifest information mostly fits our Nikolao Glaros. According to the Passenger List, the Nikolao Glaros, passenger, was 11 years and 11 months when he arrived. If this is our Nikolao Glaros, it means he was possibly born in October of 1894 and came to the United States at almost the age of 12.
Icarians began to settle in America in the 1890's. In the Western States, they labored on railroad construction and in mines. As early as 1907, it was estimated by the Greek Consul General in New York that there were between 30,000 and 40,000 Greek laborers in the American West. Greek railroad laborers were especially concentrated in California, where in 1910, there were more Greeks proportionate to the total state population than anywhere else in the U.S.
Many of the Icarian immigrants expected to work and return to their homeland after earning capital and dowries for their families. Perhaps that was Nikolaos's plan.
According to his death certificate, he was born to Staros Glaros and Maria Zachros. He lived in California for nine years and possibly spent time in Willits, CA with a James Glaros (informant on death certificate). He was 21 years old at the time of his death.
According to newspaper articles, we know that Nikolao was a track laborer for the railroad. His job was to make sure the rail lines were inspected, repaired and maintained. It was a physically demanding job that took Nikolao wherever the railway took him. For whatever reason, Nikolao slept on straw near the Moraga railway station on the night of July 9, 1915. He began to show symptoms of illness on July 13th and was taken to the county hospital for examination. A bubo was found on his right femoral region and was examined by placing some of the fluid into two guinea pigs. The guinea pigs died in five days. Upon post-mortem examination of the pigs, it was confirmed that Nikolao had been bitten by an infected squirrel and died from Bubonic Plague. Nikolaos died on July 21, 1915 at 8PM, in the Martinez County Hospital. Nikolaos was buried on the same day that he died in Potter's Field, Alhambra Cemetery, Martinez.
His case was the only one in the state since October of 1913 when another case appeared in the same county at Walnut Creek. Nikolao's case was investigated in the field and in the laboratory by the United States Public Health Service. An investigation was also conducted with his culture by the State Hygienic Laboratory.
Nikolaos's death created an extended campaign against the plague which was conducted in Contra Costa County by the State and County Boards of Health. His case reached many medical research reports, bulletins and records in the United States, including Texas Medicine. He was also in the Tulsa Daily World newspaper on Friday, August 12, 1915.
Nikolaos's headstone was repaired and reinstalled on Monday, September 18, 2017 by the Napa Monument Co. and funded by Dorothy Glaros and the Pan Ikarian Brotherhood Association. The rusty nail was removed and cracks were repaired, along with a well deserved cleaning. The opposite side is new stone with the original Greek lettering newly etched into the stone. The headstone has been secured into the base with new stainless steel rods.

Does Amazon Really Destroy Jobs?
July 29, 2018 / by Brittany Hunter
Amazon has become the target of just about everyone who is envious of its success or wants to find a way to take a piece of Bezos' digital empire. Recently, the city of Seattle passed a new law, levying a new employment tax on the company. The city is essentially blaming its rising rates of homelessness on Amazon's generous employee salaries. City officials claim that since Amazon employees can afford to pay for more expensive homes, housing costs are rising, thus resulting in many Seattle residents taking to the streets in desperations.
And, of course, many outdated brick and mortar establishments, like Toys R Us for example, have also blamed Amazon for their demise. Even President Trump has joined in on this war on Amazon, accusing the company of dodging taxes, once even tweeting:
"Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt – many jobs being lost!"
This anti-Amazon rhetoric is, of course, nothing new for the president. During his campaign, he made his opinions of the company well known. Going as far as to threaten the company before even being elected to office, the then-presidential candidate said, "believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They're going to have such problems."
And after a year and a half in office, the President still hasn't seemed to have a change of heart for Bezos and Amazon. But is there any truth to Trump's claims that the Amazon is both destroying jobs and "stealing" money from the taxpayer?
The Ultimate Job Destroyer?
The American people are not united on much these days, or so it would seem. However, if you wanted to give Americans a reason to unite against their leader, threatening their Amazon Prime accounts would be a surefire way.
Earlier this year, a report produced by the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) found that over 80 million people in the United States hold Amazon Prime memberships. A number worthy of recognition especially considering that it has doubled in less than two years.
Amazon has revolutionized the American retail experience. Not only do Prime members get free two-day shipping on essentially any item they wish to purchase from food to electronics, but members also have access to Amazon's library of streamable films, shows, and music at their fingertips. Need an item in less than two days? No problem! Amazon Now offers delivery services in under an hour for participating products. Even more amazing, Amazon Prime now also dabbles in the restaurant delivery service business competing with the likes of Uber Eats and GrubHub.
And yet, in spite of all these subcategories, each requiring its own set of employees, Donald Trump has accused Amazon of inhibiting job growth in the United States. As of January of this year, Amazon had 306,800 employees and a promise to hire an additional 100,000 full-time employees by mid-2018.
On their own these numbers are impressive, but they do not account for the additional employees who will find future part-time employment via Amazon's participation in the sharing economy.
Amazon Enters the Sharing Economy
Receiving an Amazon Prime package as an adult is akin to opening up a Christmas present from Santa Claus as a child. You don't know how the package arrived, but it doesn't matter. You asked for it and 48 hours later it appeared on your porch as if by magic. Unfortunately, there is no mythical Amazon being responsible for delivering these packages. There is, however, an army of Amazon delivery personnel who operate on the sharing economy model.
Like the "Uber of packages," Amazon couriers work when they want. As with the rest of the sharing economy, this allows millennials interested in side hustles or others looking to get ahead financially the opportunity to work around their own schedules.
In the few years since the sharing economy has grown in the United States we are already seeing the benefits it brings both in job creation and consumer satisfaction. Amazon's restaurant delivery service works the same way.
As Americans are generally discontent to live mediocre lives with mediocre salaries, these side hustles have become essential to living a full and prosperous life. Amazon's contributions to the sharing economy as well as the overall job creation in the country is something worthy of praise. Yet instead, the company's reputation is being eviscerated by the President in very public social media posts.
Why All the Condemnation?
Trump has made the claim that Amazon hasn't paid its fair share of taxes and is thus, stealing money from the American people. This is entirely untrue, but what Trump is implying by this comment hits at the core of his real problem with the company: he's a brick and mortar enthusiast.
After Trump's tweet, Politifact dissected the president's post to decipher which, if any, of his claims were true. According to the site:
"While Amazon takes advantage of tax breaks and loopholes, it pays federal corporate tax, and charges sales taxes in 46 U.S. jurisdictions. Last year, Amazon paid $412 million in federal, state, local and foreign taxes."
So if it's not about destroying jobs or stealing tax dollars, what is Trump so mad about?
Trump is a traditional businessman who made much of his money through the real estate business. By nature, the virtual business realm is almost completely foreign to him. Trump has made his living buying and selling physical space. Subscribers to the belief that Amazon is the boogieman of the brick and mortar world will appreciate this, as they see Amazon and other online retailers as a threat to their existence.
As Jeffrey Tucker says:
"It's not just about ideology; it's a battle of economic interests. Trump is joining an emerging war between old-style economic institutions, rooted in brick-and-mortar and nation-state loyalism, vs. new-style digital institutions that span the globe and empower producers and consumers directly
But it is not and never has been the president's job to decide which companies succeed and which ones fail. That power rests with consumers who utilize the power of their own purses at their own discretion. Unfortunately for Trump and other brick and mortar protectionists, Amazon is constantly proving that consumers prefer to use its retail platform above all other options. For a president to openly condemn a company for outperforming the competition is antithetical to the free market that Trump pretends to support.
At the end of the day, Trump is worried about his own interests, not the interests of consumers.
Hitting the nail on the head perfectly, Tucker explains the situation:
"Consider that Trump is the consummate physical-world capitalist. He builds towers, casinos, hotels, country clubs, all rooted in real estate, and all with a gawdy 1980s-style aesthetic. With that comes "the art of the deal." The deals are done on golf courses, in "old boys" clubs, through personal networks. It's about meeting in board rooms with mayors and city planners and trading favors. He hires contractors to dig and build and rent. He puts his name on large structures and they reach to the skies to proclaim his personal glories."
But there is another layer to Trump's disdain for Amazon. And like many of Trump's stances, this one is also rooted in personal drama.
Facts have never meant much to our president, but any criticism cast in his direction has quickly garnered his attention. Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, recently purchased the Washington Post, a publication that hasn't shied away from attacking Donald Trump.
Addressing this issue head-on, Trump has even made statements questioning Bezos' motives:
"I have respect for Jeff Bezos, but he bought The Washington Post to have political influence, and I gotta tell you, we have a different country than we used to have."
He later continues this line of thinking saying:
"He owns Amazon. He wants political influence so that Amazon will benefit from it. That's not right."
Unfortunately for Trump, he has chosen to attack a mighty monument of consumerism. Amazon's services are just too good and too plentiful to fall victim to Trump's attacks. In fact, Amazon Prime's 80 million subscribers outnumber the 57.6 million people who voted in the 2016 election. Sorry President Trump, consumers have already voted with their dollars and they choose Amazon.

Pro Kabaddi: Haryana Steelers stun Bengaluru Bulls; Telugu Titans register first win of season
Vikash Khandola starred yet again with 12 points as Haryana Steelers registered their second consecutive win.
Aug 11, 2019 · 11:21 pm
Vikas Khandola in action against Bengaluru Bulls in Pro Kabaddi | PKL
Raider Vikash Khandola starred yet again with 12 points as Haryana Steelers registered their second consecutive win, beating defending champions Bengaluru Bulls 33-30 in a thrilling match of the Pro Kabaddi at the TransStadia arena in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Vikash started on a positive note for the Steelers, scoring a point off his very first raid. Bulls initially took the lead, but Vikash removed main man Pawan Sehrawat out of the equation during a do-or-die raid.
In the very next minute, Steelers captain Dharmaraj Cheralathan tackled Mohit Sehrawat and got the Steelers within reach of the Bulls.
Pawan, who has been in great form during this season for Bengaluru, was kept in check by the defenders of Haryana. Their captain Rohit Kumar was coming up with successful raids to keep the scoreboard ticking for the Bulls.
Towards the end of the first period, Haryana closed in on the gap with successful tackles and raids. Bulls were all-out for the first time in the match during the last play of the first-half.
It was one of the best comebacks by Steelers this season with Vikash also reaching a personal milestone of 200 successful raids. The Bulls were now just a point away for Steelers at the end of the first period at 17-16.
At the start of the second-half, defender Vikas Kale did his job to perfection as Steelers took the lead for the very first time in the match.
Both teams were neck and neck but Vikash ensured Steelers walked away with five points. Apart from successful raids, the raider contributed defensively as well to take his team home as they won their third match of the season 33-30.
Haryana Steelers will take on UP Yoddha next on Wednesday.
Fortunegiants' losing streak continues
Gujarat Fortunegiants slipped to their second loss at home and their fourth straight in the competition when they lost 30-24 to Telugu Titans.
Titans' star raider Siddharth Desai picked up 7 raid points, but it was the 16 tackle points by the defence that helped them to their first victory in this season. Vishal Bhardwaj led the charge picking up a High 5.
Trailing 13-17 at the break, Gujarat's More GB was sent to the bench by Vishal Bhardwaj early in the second period. However, it did not take Fortunegiants very long to open their account, through a successful Rohit Gulia raid. Defenders Bhainswal and Bhardwaj then took control of the match and brought up their High 5s in quick succession as the match stayed close.
But Titans captain Abozar Mohajermighani stepped up at a vital time for his team, first sending back Fortunegiants' most successful raider of the season Gulia and then taking down More to send the visitors' lead up to six points.
Bhainswal, though, stood strong for Fortunegiants and picked up Suraj Desai twice in do-or-die raids to keep the score difference in check.
But Ankit, who had stepped out of bounds, was involved in the tackle giving the point to Titans. The six-point gap this opened up remained till the end of the match as Telugu Titans went on to claim their first-ever Pro Kabaddi victory over Gujarat Fortunegiants.
