Indeed, as the title says it, Christmas has come and gone ... this time, a little more silently than in the previous years ... at least in Mumbai, but, thanks to the economic melt-down, perhaps all over the world as well. Festivities such as having a Christmas tree, visiting Santa, giving gifts etc. will all go on, but as the pockets aren't so deep, the trees will be smaller, and the gifts, not as ostentatious as before. Travelling to a foreign country will also, I am sure, be marked by austerity and some effective use of common-sense (which is otherwise so uncommonly seen).
Mumbai has had the terrrible terror attacks a month ago, and although people have begun to lead near normal lives, the fear and the suspicion are still there: people check under their seats when they visit a restaurant, and some will even chide the manager for not having long table-cloths under which they may hide in case a terrorist visits their restaurant. Introspection, quiet demeanour and an acceptance of Fate have all conspired to flatten the enthusiasm of the average Mumbai who wants nothing more than peace and a promise of no-repeats of what happened on 11/26.
Today is the 28th and we are roughly midway between Christmas and the New Year. I saw big crowds near the Regal Cinema, which is a stone's throw away (I know the analogy is a bit weird) from the Taj Palace hotel and the Gateway of India. Both the Taj tower and the Trident started operations and welcoming guests on the 21st of this month, and have sent a clear message to the terrorists and their masters that they will not cower down before the actions of a murderous few.
Today was also the first day of our Muslim-Bohra calendar year. Yesterday night, we had a sort of feast - a tradition that we follow every year. We create several dishes, and also dice a lot of fruit, and serve it all in small, dainty plates and bowls atop a large serving plate known as a "thaal". This large plate, mostly of stainless-steel, is circular and more than 3 1/2 feet in diameter. Along with the dishes that are served up, we also place, in the thaal, a smaller plate containing a silver coin, some raw rice, jaggery, a supari piece, a coconut, a garland and a single betel leaf: the belief is that this is a "birthday" of the thaal. You could say we are invoking Allah for his beneficence and his limitless mercy.
Generally, we count the items on the thaal and make sure we have at least 21 items, but at times, we aim for larger number, which is usually an odd number. Yesterday, we reached a modest 25 dishes, while others aimed to go to 51 dishes or even more!
Stuffed ourselves, yes ... we did. And then, Nish and I went to attend a wedding ceremony of the son of one of our neighbour friends, where, too, we ate some food.
That's all for now. Hope you liked the entry.

Christmas Party in our building
After much vacillation between whether we should or shouldn't have a party this year, considering the terror attacks in Mumbai a month ago and the economic gloom that has threatened the livelihood of millions all over the world, the society's children and youngsters decided to go ahead with a Christmas programme that would incorporate a small memorium for the victims of the 11/26 terror attacks in addition to whatever else that they would put up for the entertainment of the members and their guests.
My younger daughter, Hannah, participated in a "Fashion Show" (with a ramp created on the stage specially for this purpose!) and also in four of the eight or nine dance items that were put up for the programme. Inas, my elder daughter, was more or less preoccupied with her college activities and also, perhaps, did not want to be an active participant this year.
In the event, the programme was very well organised. They even had a professional conductor of the entire programme, a sort of Emcee by the name of Akash. He was quite good.
There was a delightful presentation of a children's fancy dress competition to start the show. The best-dressed children were also the ones with the best performance: to wit, both the daughters of Dr. Abdul Bashir and Archana Khan. While his elder daughter depicted the attire in different seasons, the younger one showed off the various things associated with clouds. They won the events in the two age-categories and got prizes from the judges, viz. Rukhsana Bhombal (m/o Ayesha Bhombal) and Durriya, another member).
This was followed by a Fashion Show, in which about 8 "models" participated, viz. Hannah, Akshay, Aamir, Zahabiya, Nirav, Rahul, Priyanka and Rahul. Hannah wore a distinctive hair-style and her mother's black saree which suited her to a T. The models did many ramp-walks, sometimes alone, sometimes in pairs, occasionally in a group of four, or three, and finally, a row of 8, turning back into 4 pairs as they exited the stage to a loud applause.
The emcee then called the oldest guests and made them walk the walk in a parody show called the "Senior Citizen's Fashion Show", in which my dad, who had come as my guest, also participated. One lady (from 610/C) and my dad won "prizes" - a genuine surprise!
This was then followed by a slew of dance recitals, most of them, nay, all of them, based on the beat of new Hindi movie songs. Hannah participated in many of these, and several people from the audience appreciated her lissome body and beautiful and graceful dancing in their conversations with me. All the dances (barring just a few) were choreographed by Tasneem Karmalawala; she also choreographed the amazing fashion show.
I had to leave for about an hour to attend to patients at the clinic, but was back in time to partake of the delicious food that the organisers had arranged. There were five or six snacks stalls, with sada dosa, bhelpuri/sevpuri, pani puri, sandwiches, popcorn, etc. and dinner in the form of Schezwan Veg. fried rice and Hakka Veg Noodles with Veg. Manchurian balls with gravy.
All of us had hearty meals. The party closed at about mid-night, with some guests and members dancing away into the night with all the children, who danced like there was no tomorrow.
All in all, a very enjoyable evening was had by all.
Mumbai Terror Attacks: What next will be most effective as a deterrant?
Expressions of sympathy, hanging of lists of names of victims, lighting candles, going on peace marches with placards in hand ... all these are activities to foster unity amongst the members of a fractured community that is a microcosm of India. Mumbai has suffered at the hands of terrorists repeatedly, with the 1993 blasts, the 2006 train blasts and the current terror attacks at the top of a huge list. Each time, Mumbai's denizens have gone back to their routines pretty fast ... and each time, they have faced terror again, after a hiatus of months.
In such a climate, it becomes imperative to ask what we can do to prevent such an occurrence for ever? Look at the U.S. of A and the United Kingdom; they were both brutalised with the twin tower tragedy in the former and the train attacks in the latter: yet, they both have never had a further attack on their soil. Why do you think this happened?
I think the sole reason was their serious attitude and actionable activities.
Somehow, Indians lack that ability to coalesce with each other and think like a breathing, thriving, multi-brain organism.Our responses have wither been driven by rampant political drama (such as the resignations of various central and state ministers) or acts of tokenism (such as the ones I listed earlier)). The real truth is that even if there had been cohesion between people, there would have been no forward-looking dynamic action; just the acts of individuals, groups of individuals and the NGO's.
That, my friends, is the reason why I have so much anger and passion burning inside me. I participated in all the tokenist activities, but I feel as though I could have done more, much more.
How about joining self-defence classes? Joining an NGO? Giving some cash or material to recognised charities? Booking a table at one of the 5-star hotels -Taj or Trident? Visiting some of the victims' families and imparting some courage and forebearance? Filing PIL's in courts against inactive politicians and overzealous security setups? I am sure readers will think of many other things besides what I have listed.
If you do even one small thing, but do it with heart and with full feeling, it will not have been a waste.
In the end, we have to all look inside our own selves and determine what distance we are willing to travel to make that crucial difference in the lives of others, and ultimately, in ours too. Redemption of our souls will only occur when we are satisfied with what we have done. Empty actions - that is actions devoid of inner feeling - will be useless.
Dealing with sub-standard employees
This may seem like something rude to say about people who work for you, but at times, one is faced with the bitter fact that the person who is working for you and with you is not altogether competent/energetic/honest/hard-working/diligent or whatever. Now, I run a consulting practice and I have just one employee who sits outside my cabin and - takes calls, gives appointments, takes out print-outs of my prescriptions, coordinates the incoming/outgoing patients, collects my fees and so on. He/she is, effectively, more than one person rolled into one: receptionist, telephone operator, water server, etc. etc. etc.
I should be more accomodating since I am taking the work of four or five people from one person. Right? So why is it that I am saying so many negative things about this soul? Mind you, this is a general rant, and does not refer to any specific person or persons who have, at any time, worked with me or under me.
Well, the sorry fact is that some of the people who have worked with me have really, really been horrid. Either they are plain stupid (in which case, I should be called the bigger fool for having employed them!), but some of the others are wily, lazy, pre-occupied with their own things or simply, so truant that I am paralysed without their presence. On the other hand, even when they are around, they are so incompetent or adverse to improving that they end up giving me grief and stress.
How does one deal with this kind of mess? I cannot well throw them out for I need them too, to carry on with the mechanical work that forms a lot of the work that they do. I also consider the fact that I am not paying them top rupee, since most of them are students who come to work for me in their spare time, and a few are really needy people with families who it would be heartless to throw out of job. Thus, I continue to tolerate them till I can, or till they themselves realise their fault and ask to be released from the job.

Choosing the Right Career
I have seen the ridiculous matter of my elder daughter (Inas) slogging away, reading for the Common Entrance Test (CET) to gain entrance in a Medical College, and then, changing her mind a few weeks before the exam and finally, once the results were in, she switched over to a three-year course in Hospitality Sector (hotel management, catering and tourism). Initially, my wife and some other near and dear ones protested against her this decision, but later on, things became all right. Inas has begun to well and truly like the new line of studies. Doing projects, going for "waitings" - i.e. going to wedding and other functions where her friends and she wait at buffets to serve the guests - and earning money at each of the waitings - is something that she has begun to not just adjust with, but also enjoy.
Having said that, let me also say why she shifted away from a career in medicine: the following things repulsed her: a long duration of studies, which can stretch to 8-10 years if one does even basic post-graduation; or, to 11-12 years if one does Masters in a super-speciality; the prospect of very heavy books and very serious studies; the very idea of leaving social duties and being available to one's patients for emergencies at all hours of the day (or night); the requirement to stay in student hostels for 6 months per year or more; and finally, the fact that one doesn't earn anything till the entire course is over and internship has commenced (thus, after 5-6 years of joining). In addition, if one studies in Maharashtra, one has to compulsarily serve a rural area for one year after completing the internship, or pay a penalty of Rs. 10 lacs to the government in lieu of the same.
I think most of the objections outlined above have strong logic, so I respected her decision and decided to show her the green signal to join the hospitality course. Today, she goes for waitings about once a week and has begun to earn money that she can use for out-of-pocket expenses or fun, or even save for a rainy day.
Feelings of Anger at one's "impotence"
Lest you think I have problems with "that" kind of impotence, well ... no. I was referring to the feeling of anger that one gets when one feels unable to do anything for people or for one's own self after incidents like huge natural catastrophes, grave personal disasters or dangerous confrontations, after a lost argument when one knows one was right but just ... less powerful, after attacks of terror in one's city or after attacks on one's personal liberties by the insensitive acts of governments or police.
Have you also felt such impotent rage? Do share your experience(s) with me on the comment form. I have felt this recently, after the attacks by terrorists in the city of my birth and stay - viz. Mumbai. It wasn't just me ...but the vast majority of Mumbai's citizens have gone through/are still going through the same rage at the inability to do anything more than wear black bands, write angry letters to newspapers, mouth off obscenities to the nameless perpetrators, and light thousands of candles. Can all these things bring back the things Mumbai lost in the 11/26 attacks at various locations across south Mumbai? I don't think so.
I think what is needed is concerted action by the government, not just resignations by ministers of the cabinet at the centre or the state; joining hands for rehabilitation, not just to sing songs or light candles. Those things are not totally useless, and I am not saying that. However, they have token value. Imagine the difference between - saying "I will pray that your fracture heals" and - actually taking the poor fracture victim to the hospital and paying for his complete treatment. That is the difference I am talking about.

Starting on the eve of the 26th of November 2008, Mumbai city came face-to-face with stark terror: a group of well-organised terrorists landed at Sassoon Docks and proceeded to different places from where they masterminded attacks that left hundreds dead and many more injured; what I want to say about the actual attacks is already on my other blog in the form of three entries that are here, here and here.
In this entry, I am about to share with you the metaphysical dimension of the attacks: we all saw, over the days that the attacks continued, the aggressive attitude of the terrorists and in contrast, the fear and panic on the faces of the citizens of Mumbai, many of them dying unnecessarily in the random shooting of the terrorists. At the C.S.T. railway station, Ajmal Amir Kasab and his acco mplice shot people waiting for their trains so cruelly and randomly that the victims never saw it coming. Here is a photo of the surviving terrorist Kasab. As you can see, he is a fairly handsome young man of about 22-23 years' age. Hailing from Faridkot district of Pakistan, he was one of the ten young men who devastated some of the most cherished buildings of south Mumbai. They - i.e. the terrorists - were clinical and brutal in their demeanour and in their action. Gone was even a shred of conscience as they set about killing people mercilessly - unaware that by killing even one person, they were changing or, dare I say, killing humanity as we understand it. Equipped with AK-47 machine guns, grenades, grenade and bomb launchers, satellite phones, and what not, these ten killers descended upon unsuspecting travellers on the railway station, watchmen, patients and doctors at a nearby public hospital (the Cama and Albless Hospitals), pedestrians, adults, men, women and children on the roads near Cafe Leopold and the Metro Adlabs cinema, guests, staff and security men at the Taj Mahal Palce and Tower Hotel, the Trident Hotel and the Oberoi Hotel, and finally, the residents and others at Nariman House where 6 innocent Jews were killed in cold blood.
In addition to the hundreds of Indians who died, some while eating, others while just going about their way towards home, several tourists from many different countries of the world also died within the hotels that they were staying at or visiting.
Staff of all the hotels died, some entire families, such as that of the General Manager at the Taj Palace - except that the father survived. At the C.S.T. railway station, entire families were killed in the gunfire, which, although it seemed random, was actually precise and targeted to cause the maximum amount of panic and psychological damage.
Through it all, most Mumbaikars stayed away from the roads, for over 2-3 days, watching the "drama" unfold over television, as the armed forces and the NSG began their rescue operations. They would finally emerge victorious after nearly 2 1/2 days, but during those 60 hours, ordinary Mumbaikars lived and died a thousand times: stories of carnage intermingled with tales of heroism and supreme sacrifice as several distinguished city policemen and some NSG guards fell to the bullets of the terrorists. In addition, several less well-known policemen also died. And we, the ordinary citizens, watched wide-eyed, our hearts in our throats, tears in our eyes, and an anger that gradually welled up inside us as we prayed that the aggressors got their comeuppance and were killed.
A terrifying week indeed. Heads rolled in the government - both at the state level and at the center, as chief ministers, home ministers and bureaucrats resigned. Homage was paid to the heroes of the nation and they all received state burials. And we, the common citizens, watched it all from home on the various news channels.
After three to four days, people gradually started going back to work, still depressed, dizzy, worried for their safety, panicking at the slightest rumour, and above all, angry at the inefficiency of the government, the intelligence department, the bureaucracy, the politicians and the armed constabulary.
But that is another story, for some other day.

A cousin, a doctor and a gentleman is no more: Dr. Altaf Savliwala
A dear colleague of mine, Dr. Altaf Savliwala, son of Safakathusein and Sofi S. Savliwala, a Pediatrician by profession, and a soft-spoken and gentle human being, died on Sunday, 8/12/2008 in the early hours of the morning due to a massive heart attack. I came to know him about 36 years ago, when I was but a boy of 13. I still remember his soft-spoken nature and kindliness. When a particularly nasty illness struck me at the age of 15, he was studying to be a doctor at the Seth G.S. Medical College and the K.E.M. Hospital. It was he who got me evaluated by his boss (Dr. P.D. Anjaria), and looked after all my needs over the next several visits to the hospital.
Eventually, I was to study medicine and pediatrics in the same medical institutes and pass out in 1986. Over the years, I came to know more and more that he was a gem of a person. Never one to show anger publicly (or privately to me or anyone not of his immediate family) or create any form of friction between him and others, Altaf was the epitome of geniality, cordialness and humility.
I salute this kind soul who Allah called to His presence rather prematurely and early. He was only 54, physically trim, and healthier than most middle-aged people I know; also, he was a calm and careful person, and it seems cruel that Allah should snatch him from among us with the first cardiac arrest of his life.
Altaf left behind his wife Fatema, daughters Tasneem and Zahara and grand-daughter Umme-Hani (born of Tasneem and her husband Ali-Asgar).
Mufaddal adds this:
In continuation to Dr. Taher's views, Dr. Altaf's death has left a deep void in my life. Altaf was a thorough gentleman, well matured, cool and composed person. I remember all the good days that I had the pleasure of spending with him during my visits to Lonavala.
Fate has dealt us a very hard and a nasty blow and snatched away from us a great human being. I pray that his soul rests in Peace and God give strength to Fatema, Tasneem and Zahra to cope up with this tragedy.

A Brutal Assault III
Three more days have passed since the paramilitary forces such as the National Security Guards (NSG) finally took control of one structure after the other after a struggle that lasted for nearly 60 hours. The Oberoi and Trident Hotels are not as damaged as the Taj, which took the maximum damage; Nariman Building, which, it turns out, was the command center of the terrorists and the place from where their leader watched TV news and guided his "men" on how to move and where to attack, is almost completely damaged and in danger of falling.
At the end of all this, and the investigations that are going on, the National Home Minister (similar to the Minister of Home Security in the U.S.) has resigned; so has the state-home minister. The state's chief minister has also resigned on the 3rd of December evening. People, however, believe that resignations are nothing but political ploys to defuse the peoples' anger, and as such, serve only as "palliative changes" and not as real change.
News culled from various sources have thrown out many shocking details of the terror attack: the technology used by the terrorists was state of the art, their shooting skills, superb, their strategising, totally geared to cause maximum damage, and their planning, very, very detailed. They had even created their own escape routes, should they succeed in hoodwinking the security forces. They were to return to Karachi in Pakistan - once again, by sea. Their use of advanced AK 47 machine guns, satellite phones, grenade launchers, credit and debit cards from Indian banks, Indian SIM mobile phone cards, motorised rafts, false maritime licences, etc. point to an amazing level of planning, and correspondlingly, an amazing lack of intelligence by Indian authorities. It has become evident that their boat was challenged in the Mumbai waters by the Coast Guard, but they were let off once they showed the licences, which were forged = professionally.
On the eve of the 3rd of December, more than a lakh people, angered at the lack of proper security and the insensitiveness of the politician-class, lit candles and gathered en masse at the Gateway of India, just adjacent to the cordoned-off Taj Mahal Palace and Tower. Some of the men and women were celebrities, and had come to the spot because they felt passionately about the issue, but the vast majority were common Mumbaikars who were there to show the victims' families that they were with them at this hour of personal grief and tragedy; they wanted to display that they were Indians first; they wanted to tell off the politicians and bureaucrats who had failed the nation; and finally, they wanted to unite with each other and rise above the parochialism of caste and class. I was there, too, and felt a sense of terrible loss but also a sense of unity and pride in the spirit of Mumbaikars, who had finally had enough and wanted firm and decisive corrective action by the government.
As I write this on the eve of the fourth, I wish to say that two more bombs have been found, containing the lethal RDX, at two different locations visited by the terrorists on the night of the 26th, on two different days - yesterday and today. These bombs remained unexploded, probably due to some error, or else, they would have caused still more deaths and tragedy.
More than 180 dead ... and the nation continues to mourn. Mumbai is back to normal, but it is not the normal normal that I have seen earlier. People are subdued, they are morose, not joking or enjoying life as usual. The wounds of the dastardly attacks will take a long time to heal, and the scars may never fade from the memory of the present generation of Mumbaikars. Questions still remain to be answered, but that is another story.

I wanted to do something fun this week and let you decide which popular blogger has the best favicon.
Shoemoney's favicon is a scaled down version of his logo and it shows up really well considering the small size of the favicon. It certainly helps to brand his blog.
Problogger's favicon changed when he got the blog design redone last year. The new logo and favicon complement each other and help with the his branding. You can easily see the P and the Ubuntu style circle and dots on your address bar or tabs when you are on the Problogger site making it easy to find in the tabs when you are looking for it.
John Chow's favicon is a picture of half of his face. Considering the small size and how little space there is the favicon does appear to resemble him. I would guess there was a little Photoshop work done to make his favicon appear that clear but they did a good job. I am a little surprised it does not match his blog more, but in many ways his face is his logo.
Daniel Scocco runs Daily Blog Tips a popular blogging tips blog. The Daily Blog Tips favicon clearly draws its inspiration from their blog name taking out the DBT. Considering the small space it works not to bad, although it does appear to be a little blurry to me.
Now it is your turn. Vote in our poll and help determine which popular blogger has the best favicon!

Firefighters contain blaze at Allegan County poultry farm
WOOD TV-8
OTSEGO TWP. — A fire sparked at an Allegan County poultry farm has been contained, and the farm's 50 employees have been accounted for with minor injuries, WOOD TV-8 reports.
Dark, billowing smoke from the fire at Konos Inc. Vande Bunte Eggs, located at 2107 110th Ave. in Otsego Township, could be seen from nearby highways and the slopes of Bittersweet Ski Resort on Friday, Jan. 3.
A farm spokesperson said Barn B was destroyed in the fire, but Barn A and more than 250,000 hens were saved. The barns contained an estimated 550,000 hens at the time of the fire.
The fire started around 11 a.m., Burch said. Its cause is unclear and only minor injuries were reported by employees.
"The first priority at all of our farms is the welfare and safety of our employees and our hens," said Rob Knecht, vice president of operations at Konos. "We are thankful for the work of all the fire departments that helped today. Their quick actions kept our farm safe and we are eager to resume production tomorrow."
Due to the rural location of the farm, several neighboring communities supplied water tender trucks, including Dorr Township, Otsego and Trowbridge Township, Burch said.
The farm produces 550,000 eggs per day for its customers and more than 13 million cage-free eggs annually to grocery stores and restaurants across Michigan.
The cause of the fire is unknown, and supply interruptions are not anticipated.

Klopp Got The January Breaks Right, But What Happens Next?
May 17, 20192019-05-17T10:33:34+00:002019-05-17T10:33:34+00:00 Analysis No Comments
I'll be honest, friends, I'm still a bit heart-broken. I knew it was going to happen, that we'd rack up 97 points but be pipped to the title, yet that doesn't make it hurt any less. It feels so crushingly 'Liverpool in the Premier League era' to achieve the third-highest points total of all time, boast two Golden Boot winners, the Golden Glove winner and lose just one match across the entire campaign and yet fall short. The fact that UEFA are now considering banning Manchester City from the Champions League because of their financial shenanigans certainly doesn't make it any easier to stomach. I'm willing to bet that in the future the titles the Cityzens have won under the ownership of Sheikh Mansour will have an asterisk against them, but that doesn't change the reality right now. Even if at some point further down the line the Premier League and Football Association decided to retroactively remove the titles from them, we would still have been denied that party at the end of the season that we so richly deserved.

The problem, of course, is that talking about this is dismissed simply as 'sour grapes'. Never mind the fact that it looks as though Manchester City have essentially bought every trophy they've been able to put into their cabinet since 2008 by lying about sponsorship deals to cover shortfalls in their Financial Fair Play obligations, that they seem to have done something that should have rocked football just as much as the Juventus match-fixing scandal and the FIFA corruption cases, if we mention it we're just 'always the victims'. I remain immensely proud of the way that Jürgen Klopp has gone about his business as Liverpool manager, taking us to two Champions League finals in a row and racking up 97 points in the domestic league along the way. To do that at a time when Manchester City's spending means that they should be dominating every competition that they enter is quite remarkable. But it still hurts. The only thing that will take the pain away is if we're able to win the Champions League, but how will the break before the match hurt us?
Klopp's Mini Winter Breaks Were Always About The Season's Conclusion
When Liverpool took not one but two miniature winter breaks during January, plenty of supporters cried foul. The notion that they put forward was that it would have been better to have been in the FA Cup rather than be able to disappear off to Dubai and Spain when the lack of cup matches allowed them the break to do so. Never mind that our squad was on its last legs and injuries were mounting up, the belief was there that we'd have been better off making it past Wolves in the FA Cup and travelling away to Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup fourth round. It's an argument that I'll never be able to get my head around, given that the breaks gave us a chance to get the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold back from a minor injury and removed the need to rely on James Milner as a right-back option. They gave the manager the winter break that he so craved, one that he lacked in the 2016-2017 season when the wheels fell off our season in January.
Winter breaks for Liverpool?
Short term pain
Long term gain #lfc
— mainstand red (@mainstandred) February 20, 2019
Too many people thought that the breaks were about the there and then, but Jürgen Klopp was always using them to give his players a break that would allow them to be fit and firing as the campaign came to its conclusion. My personal opinion is that he looked out our fixtures, looked at City's and thought we'd win all of our nine games in the run-in but that City would drop points in at least one of theirs. We did our part of that, but City didn't do theirs. To win eighteen out of their nineteen games in the second-half of the season is truly unbelievable form and to point to draws with Everton, Leicester City, West Ham and Manchester United and say that that's when we 'lost the league' is ludicrous. The winter breaks were always about our form for the end of the season push and in that sense the manager and his team called it absolutely right.
We've Got Another Mini-Break But Can't Be As Rusty When We Return
The issue is that we did very much look rusty when we came back from our mini-winter break at the end of January. Back-to-back draws with Leicester City and West Ham United were unfortunate, but an understandable consequence of the players essentially being put through a miniature pre-season to ensure that they were ready for what was to lie ahead. There's an argument that if we hadn't had them we wouldn't have been able to win those final nine games that came after the Everton match, to say nothing about having the ability to take the fight to Barcelona in the second-leg of our Champions League semi-final. It's also true that we looked rusty in our home game against the Foxes, though, even when you take into account the mitigating factor of the appalling weather.
Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City, the home side extend their lead at the top of the Premier League by 1 point. Sadio Mane puts Klopp's side ahead but Harry Maguire levels on the stroke of the break on a winter wonderland at Anfield #LFC #LCFC pic.twitter.com/9VpD0CHz5I
— Josh Bunting (@Buntingfootball) January 30, 2019
The challenge that confronts the German and his backroom staff now is to ensure that the players are rested well enough before the 1st of June but that they're nowhere near as rusty as they were on the 30th of January. It's a difficult balance for a manager that regularly talks about the need for rhythm in his football team. The difference, of course, is that they know exactly what comes at the end of this particular break. They've also got the experience of what the Champions League final involves, with the players having one over on their Tottenham rivals in that sense. Spurs have to cope with the break too, of course. It's just that we've literally seen it play out in front of our eyes when the Reds aren't quite at it because they're out of that rhythm. Will the manager organise a competitive behind-closed-doors game before the month is out? Or will it just be about changing the training? Whatever he does, I'm confident he'll get us firing for the biggest game we've had in a year….

For environmental cleaning that's backed by a national brand, choose AdvantaClean. There are many locations across the U.S., and you'll be glad to know that one of them can serve you in New Holland, PA. We're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in case of emergencies, though we can also schedule an appointment for a time that suits you.
Mold remediation and removal are no problem for us, so whether you find this fungus growing on a wall, ceiling, or drainpipe, you can call us right away. We'll put on respirators and other safety gear, vacuum out the mold, and wipe down the surfaces with an antimicrobial chemical. To capture those mold spores that went airborne as we worked, we'll likely set up an air scrubber.
If you don't have an infestation but you suspect mold of being in your property, look to us for a mold inspection. We can identify most species of mold on sight, and if there's something we can't identify, we'll take a sample for analysis. Our high-tech mold testing kits will measure how much mold is in the atmosphere.
Crawl spaces are notorious for harboring mold, but with crawl space encapsulation, you'll be able to prevent its growth. Our team will lay a plastic vapor barrier across the walls and floor, which will keep water from condensing on them.
Whether the source was a flood or a pipe leak, water damage can have potentially wide-ranging effects. That's why you'll want to hire our technicians for mitigation. Our trucks carry all the proper equipment, such as portable pumps, fans, floor scrubbers, and dehumidifiers. We comply with EPA and OSHA health regulations, and the EPA has even certified us for lead-safe practices.
We'll begin with a prompt water removal, dry the interior, and sanitize your belongings. Our employees can also eliminate seepage, even tracing it down to the basement and foundation. If you haven't had basement waterproofing done, you might want to request it after the restoration is over; it will protect your concrete and masonry walls from damage.
Flooding is often covered under insurance, so if you're going to file a claim, let us assist. We'll help you gather the right paperwork and explain the situation to your insurance company.
Air ducts should be cleaned every three to five years because the dirt, pollen, and other contaminants they build up can interfere with airflow and lower the indoor air quality. Dryer vents also build up lint, which presents a fire hazard. That's why we offer both air duct and dryer vent cleaning. No matter how long your ducts and vents are, we'll clean every inch, even going into the attic or behind the walls.
AdvantaClean has continually refined its services over the more than 20 years that it's been in business, and it has even won the 2016 Best of HomeAdvisor Award. If you live in or around New Holland, PA, get in touch with us today.

Fish, animal, and plant life are sustained by its 300-foot-deep waters and by the fresh water flowing in the Truckee River. In addition to the cui-ui fish, an indigenous species found only in Pyramid Lake, the lake is known for the Lahontan cutthroat trout that the Native Americans manage through their fisheries program.
The mountains surrounding the lake support deer, antelope, and bighorn sheep. The lake is also a resting place for a variety of migrating waterfowl. Anaho Island, a National Wildlife Refuge, is the breeding ground for a large colony of American white pelicans. It is also home to a variety of other shorebirds.
The tufa formations found at this lake are some of the lake's most distinctive natural features. These formations are calcium carbonate deposits formed by precipitation over hot springs. They include the Pyramid (which gives the lake its name) and the Needles.
Archaeological Qualities of Pyramid Lake Scenic Byway
Since time immemorial, the Northern Paiute people comprised many bands that occupied northwestern Nevada and southeastern Oregon. By roaming in small, family-centered groups, these remarkable people developed an ingenious technology that made life possible in a high desert environment. One band centered its territory around Pyramid Lake and were called Kuyuidokado, or cui-ui eaters.
On display at the Pyramid Lake Visitor Center are tools and artifacts that reflect the ancient culture that was essential to these peoples' survival. Much of the collection has established a timeline for archaeologists in determining when these tools were used.
Qualities of Pyramid Lake Scenic Byway
The Pyramid Lake Paiute nation is governed by ten council members who are elected biannually in December and on staggered two-year terms. The majority of enrolled members, numbering around 1,700 people, reside on the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, and approximately 12 percent of this membership live in other areas throughout the western United States.
There are strong cultural ties between the lake and the Kuyuidokado. Unfortunately, the cui-ui fish are endangered.
So are the Lahontan cutthroat trout, which are also indigenous
to Pyramid Lake and Truckee River. The Kuyuidokado feel it is their duty to save these two fish species because they consider themselves the keepers of the lake.
Hundreds of years before settlers traveled through Nevada, the Paiute Indians lived near Pyramid Lake, then called Coo-yu-ee Pah. Their traditional culture was centered around the lake. The Paiute depended on the cui-ui fish to survive.
Unfortunately, in 1859, the Paiute Indian Reservation was formed, giving only a fraction of the land to the Paiute people. They continued to live as they had been and create a culture rich in history and family.
The present name of the lake was given by John C. Fremont in January 1844. The first band of explorers stumbled upon the lake after a difficult journey through the harsh desert that lasted several weeks. They pitched their camp near a striking 400-foot-high rock island outcropping. Fremont wrote in his journal on January 14 and suggested a name for the fascinating lake: Pyramid Lake. The explorers were also captivated by the stone needles, pinnacles, and steaming sulfur springs, which the Paiute people still hold sacred today.
The present-day vision of Pyramid Lake took millions of years to form. It is the remnant of an inland sea, Lake Lahontan, which covered more than 8,000 square miles about 11 million years ago.
Today, Pyramid Lake is 26 miles long, 4 to 11 miles wide, and 350 feet deep at its deepest point. It has been called the world's most beautiful desert lake and presents a range of colors from turquoise to emerald green to deep blue.
Because Pyramid Lake used to be part of an inland sea, it is a very alkaline lake, the type found in semiarid or arid environments. Visiting the lake is almost like going to the beach. Unlike the beach, however, Pyramid Lake has a number of interesting formations scattered around and throughout its waters. The lake is also home to a variety of wildlife that visitors usually don't see at the beach.
Tufa needs just the right kind of conditions to form, and Pyramid Lake is the world's largest producer of tufa rock. It is created when the following environment is present: a stable lake, a source of calcium, high water temperatures, and a stable bedrock or substrate. When all of these conditions are present, all that is necessary is a branch or rock around which the carbonate can form.
Pyramid Lake demonstrates its age through the tufa formations. Changes in color and texture of the rock, as well as primary silt level changes, also indicate what kinds of weather Pyramid Lake has survived, including winds, droughts, floods, and glacial activity.
Other tufa formations attract attention, too. The primary area, the Needles, is located at the northwest end of the lake, in the hot springs area. This area of continuing geothermal activity contains more tufa deposits than anywhere else in the world.
Other types of formations exist around the lake, such as the Stone Mother and her basket. The basket is actually a rounded, hollowed rock, but a legend exists about the Stone Mother that goes like this: In the ancient days, a mother had four sons. They could not get along and were forced to leave. Their mother, in terrible grief, sat in the middle of the desert and cried so many tears that they filled the lake. She was in such despair she just dropped her basket beside her, and then the mother and her basket turned to stone.
Anaho Island, located in Pyramid Lake, is a National Wildlife Refuge that is one of only eight nesting grounds for white pelicans in North America. As many as 9,500 pelicans nest on the island in the spring, so both the federal government and the Paiute people carefully protect the island from intruding boats or visitors.
The best place to view the pelicans is from the southeastern or southwestern shores with binoculars; the best time of year to see them is March through October. Numerous other types of birds -- including double-crested cormorants, California gulls, blue herons, golden and bald eagles, rock wrens, owls, falcons, snowy egrets, and California quail -- draw bird-watchers.
Because the nature of the lake is so well protected and preserved by the Paiute, an uncommon amount of wildlife lives undisturbed at Pyramid Lake. Not only do many birds live here, but also burros, bighorn sheep, bobcats, wild horses, mountain lions, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, and jackrabbits. There are few spots in the county where visitors can see such a range of wildlife.

Pyramid Lake offers all kinds of opportunities to enjoy the surrounding nature. You can hike, rock climb, ride horseback, backpack, and so much more. And, after a full day of activity, hot springs at the north end of the lake among the needle rocks allow you to relax while enjoying Pyramid Lake's famous tufa formations.
The lake itself draws the most recreationists; it is a favorite of anglers, who throughout the history of the lake have gone from fishing as a means of survival to fishing as a business venture to fishing for sport.
Fishing at Pyramid Lake is an experience all its own. The water is unlike most lake water and is a startling pastel blue. The surroundings are pure desert, with little vegetation.
After some practice, many fishers have discovered that the best way to catch fish in Pyramid Lake is from the top of a five-foot ladder or other tall object. The fish come into the shallows, and the added altitude gives anglers a better view, as well as a longer casting range. Be careful, though. While you can see the fish, the fish can also see you. Fish often roam the edges of the lake near a series of ledges or drop-offs. If you stand on a tall object and wear polarizing lens, you can actually see the fish take the fly ten feet away.
Pyramid Lake has also been known for the size of its fish, especially the cutthroat trout. In 1925, a Paiute named Johnny Skimmerhorn caught the world's record cutthroat -- a 41-pounder. Photographs from the '20s and '30s show celebrities such as Clark Gable struggling to hold up a pair of massive cutthroat. Another photograph shows a group of Nevadans peeking out from behind a line of shimmering fish that stretches eight feet long from a day's catch. Unfortunately, the fish are no longer as large due to extensive fishing, but five-to ten-pounders are not uncommon.

The Thermals
by Hutch Harris
Folk/Country
Pop/R&B
Open share drawer
Welcome to the latest edition of Pitchfork's "Guest List". Each week, we'll ask one of our favorite artists to fill us in on what they've been up to lately: Which tracks they can't stop spinning, what books they can't put down, and what new bands they've caught on tour. This week it's the Thermals' Hutch Harris, who's been rocking to Sonic Youth, and melting faces off with his 9-volt micro-Marshall amp.
__ >> Favorite Songs of the Past Year __
Thom Yorke: "Analyse"
Sonic Youth: "Incinerate"
Quasi: "Alice the Goon"
__ >> Favorite Old Records at the Moment __
The Ink Spots: "Shine on Harvest Moon"
That was written in 1903. Their version is from 1950-something, I think. I love that song.
Depeche Mode: "Never Let Me Down Again"
Love it, love that one so much.
The Undertones: "Family Entertainment"
Circle Jerks: "I Want Some Skank"
We played the Fuck Yeah Fest in L.A., and Keith Morris was curating it. They picked out [the acts], so I was listening to a lot of Black Flag and Circle Jerks and stuff like that.
__ >> The Best Song Ever __
The Breeders: "Doe"
I think it might be "Doe" by the Breeders, from * Pod * . That's pretty close. Every time I write a song, I'm just pretty much trying to write that song. That's one of my most favorites ever.
__ >> Best New Band __
Shaky Hands
There's this band called Shaky Hands, which is from Portland. I still haven't met those guys, so we have no affiliation, but I hope we will be affiliated soon, in the future. I think eventually we'll probably have to play a show together. They played a house show a couple months ago, and it was fucking awesome.
__ >> Best Show This Year __
I saw them, whatever week that new album, * Rather Ripped * , came out. Actually Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney, she took me, because she knows those guys of course, so she got me in to see that show. And I saw them probably about four or five years ago, right when Jim O'Rourke started playing with them, and that was pretty good. But this time, they played the Roseland in Portland so it was just-- the sound was really good, and that show was just amazing.
__ >> Best Concert Venue __
Wonder Ballroom, Portland
There's so many in Portland. This place is probably just like a year old, maybe a little bit older, but it's really nice, and it's all-ages, too. So it's the rare venue in Portland that has good sound, good space and a good stage, and then is all-ages as well.
__ >> Best Record Store __
Second Avenue Records, Portland
You know, you've got your Jackpot here, and your Ozone, and those record stores that I feel like get a lot of credit, but Second Avenue, I feel like they don't get the credit they deserve. They have a ton of vinyl. They have a ton of punk vinyl that I can't find anywhere else. And they're just the best stocked record store. They're not always the nicest in there, but if I want to find something, it's usually there. Sometimes they're really nice to me, I have to say, but sometimes they're kind of weird. But sometimes they're really nice. I went looking for the first Jesus & Mary Chain record, * Psychocandy * , and of course they had it, because they have everything. That was the last record I got there.
__ >> Last Great Film I Saw __
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story *
I've seen a lot of crappy movies. * Superman * , which I didn't really like. I saw * Scoop * , which wasn't very good. You know, I rented * Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story * , and that I loved. That's the only thing I've seen recently that I really liked a lot.
__ >> Last Great Book I Read __
Sinclair Lewis: * It Can't Happen Here *
I read this book called * It Can't Happen Here * by Sinclair Lewis, it was really fitting for what I've been writing about, too, because it's-- I think it was written in 1935-- it's about fascism in the United States. It was really good.
__ >> Favorite Piece of Equipment __
Marshall Microamp
I have one of those mini-Marshall amps that clip on your belt, and it just takes a 9-volt battery. Almost all the overdubs I did on our last record were all on either that mini-Marshall or I have a mini-Fender that's like that, too. It's so tiny, but it sounds huge when you mic it. That's my secret weapon, the mini-Marshall.
__ >> Best Thing I Bought This Year __
Supro Belmont Guitar
I haven't really bought that much stuff. I really try not to buy-- most of my money is spent on stuff that goes into your body, like food. I bought this guitar, the brand is Supro and it's called the Belmont. And I live and work on Belmont, so it's kind of perfect. It's this really cute old 60s guitar; it seemed to fit me perfectly. So I guess that's probably the best thing I've bought in the past year.
__ >> Best Thing I Did This Year __
I got a girlfriend in the past year. I haven't had a girlfriend in the past four or five years. That's the best thing I did: I got my shit together enough to be with someone.
__ >> Best TV Show __
"Arrested Development"
I don't have television, so I see it when we're on tour only. And then usually it's just shit late at night like Adult Swim. Like "Pee-Wee's Playhouse". I didn't realize they were rerunning those until our last trip out. I was stoked, those are so rad. I haven't seen anything new, though. I like watching some shows, stuff like "Arrested Development" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm", I just watch those on DVD. I know it's over, but I love "Arrested Development".
__ >> Best Radio Program __
Probably Fresh Air on NPR. That's the only one I actually find myself listening to. I mean, I listen to NPR all day, but Fresh Air is the one that I really like, and she usually has people on that I want to hear.
__ >> Best Video Game __
Sometimes in the arcade I'll play Galaga, but I don't play any home games.
__ >> Ringtone __
It's just some totally lame, stock, it just goes boop-boop-boop-doo-doo-boop. It sounds like you're starting Dig Dug or something. It sounds like some old crappy video game. Just a cheesy little midi bloop.

Groupe Renault #SHAREDMOBILITY | "Logistics is a fundamental element for us"
EZ-PRO is based on a platform designed for last mile delivery and logistics specialists, but also for merchants and end customers. Benoît COLLARD, Managing Director of Champagne Piper-Heidsieck, talks about his enthusiasm for the EZ-PRO project.
Founded in 1785, Piper Heidsieck is one of the oldest "Maison de Champagne" and exports more than 85% of its volume abroad. Logistics is therefore a fundamental element in everyday life.
For Piper Heidsieck, working with the Groupe Renault means working with a company or group that is totally in tune with the pragmatic challenges that must be faced in delivery. These issues are not so much distances, because maritime transport has undergone a real revolution, but that is really what happens at the last metre. Having the ability to consolidate a path, and then having the opportunity to make this delivery to the end and in a precise way, really seems to be the way of the future.
HOW DO WE DEVELOP AN END-TO-END SYSTEM THAT INTEGRATES ROBO-VEHICLES AND A MOBILITY PLATFORM?

Justin Bieber Finally Addresses Those Kourtney Kardashian Rumors
And he's got a pretty good sense of humor about it all.
NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 18: Justin Bieber performs on NBC's "Today" at NBC's TODAY Show on November 18, 2015 in New York. (Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images)Photo: Getty Images
Justin Bieber may be posting confusing Instagram posts left and right — really, what do you mean by posting this photo with Hailey Baldwin? — but he's usually an open book when it comes to talking candidly about his love life. It seemed like everyone was grilling him about which songs on his new album, Purpose, were about ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, how he still felt about her, and what he has to say about all of his past mistakes. Now, he's finally addressing a few new rumors that have cropped up in the weeks after the album dropped...including that one about Kourtney Kardashian.
He handled the question posed to him by the hosts of the Bert Show with considerable grace. When he was prompted with the tabloid headline that Kourtney was "using" Justin to get back at ex Scott Disick, he laughed it off by corroborating: "I'm being used, man. What can I say?" before adding that "she's great" and he's "known them for years." He added that nothing is happening between the two of them.
(Basically, if he's joking about the situation, you know it's a nonissue.)
He also did a bit of a backtrack on that whole "we could reunite!" hint he dropped a few months ago about his on-again, off-again status with Selena. (Remember when he said that and our hearts collectively stopped? Yeah, us, too.) He clarified it by saying, "I just want her to be happy. I love [Selena]. We're friends still. We needed time to grow for ourselves and we were like, 'Maybe we'll come back together in the future,' and then it ended up being so long and we just grew apart and we're not the same people anymore."
They've both definitely moved on, though, and they're both rooting for each other. Justin has seen Selena's new video for "Hands to Myself," and had a few choice words for Christopher Mason, the model she picked to star with her in the clip. "What is she trying to do to my heart right now?" he joked, before making sure we all knew he was "just kidding. She loves me. I love her, too, always. Who's this guy? He's a joke! This guy's a chump...Nah, I guess he's pretty handsome actually. I can't even lie."
He also touched on his experience with fame and all the pitfalls of growing up in the public eye. He added that he was found on Youtube "for my talent" as a preteen and not manufactured on X-Factor...which might be a reference to a certain band that also released an album on November 13, too, but Justin was quick to clarify that it was "not a shot." PHEW. In any case, it's only natural that a kid who didn't seek out fame might need to adjust to the limelight. He's learned his lessons, and he's growing up.
The full interview was recorded in December of 2015, so that was way before all of the New Year's Eve photos with Hailey Baldwin hit Instagram...and sadly there are no clarifications from Justin about that. He says he's single and doesn't have a girlfriend in this interview, which made our ears perk up, because has that answer changed now? Only time will tell. But for now, Jelena shippers, we're sorry to say that the ship has sailed.

Some Cossack-related links – Sing. Dance. Fight.
Today brings some Cossack-related stories from various sources, bundled together for your convenience!
Russia Beyond the Headlines features a photoset of 19th-century Cossacks: 19-century free-spirited Cossacks captured in photographs.
English Russia brings us something more contemporary with photos from a Moscow exhibition of bladed weapons. The many pictures of different types of knife don't particularly interest me, apart from a few pictures featuring different kinds of Cossack and Caucasian shashkas. There are some shots, though, of stalls selling various bits of clothing and other equipment for the neo-Cossack revival, which are of interest.
Returning to Russia Beyond the Headlines, there's an article about a Cossack hip-hop artist, Maxim Ilinov. The video doesn't appear to work, at least on my Chromebook, but it includes some further links to articles about modern-day Cossack culture.

The Host - Movie Review
By Shreya Sapkota
Photo Source: ThreesixfiveFilm
If I were to name one movie that I absolutely hated, it would be "The Host", a sci-fi thriller adapted from the novel The Host by Stephanie Meyer. The reason why I do not like this movie is that the interpretation of the novel was lost on the way. Even though the movie was based on the novel and had the exact same story, a lot of the elements of the story was lost when the 600 pages of the book were crammed into a one-hundred-twenty-five-minute movie.
People who have read the novel will most probably agree when I say that the movie absolutely trashed the novel. The storyline was both hasty and awkward. It was shortened and modified in such a way that a lot of scenes wouldn't make sense to people who hadn't read the novel. Instead of showing the novel's strengths and character development, the film was more of a list of the main events, never expanding anything to give it a proper meaning and backstory. It was harder to connect with the characters and understand the changes that the characters went through during the course of the movie.
Even the bond between Melanie and Wanda is not properly depicted in the movie which makes up most of the main plot in the book. Whereas the chemistry between 'Melanie and Jared' and 'Wanda and Ian' were more or less non-existent. The movie misses out on many of the important aspects of the novel, from a character named Walter whose death has a big impact on Wanda to the interactions and the friendships she makes in the caves, and many other such significant scenes. The movie presented romance as one of the central conflicts rather than the relationship between Melanie and Wanda but couldn't quite properly showcase the romance. These changes made in the movie were most probably done to appeal to a mainstream audience however it didn't quite please most of them.
Most of the time, films that have been adapted from a book always feel a lot bland in comparison, but I have never seen it gone this bland and boring. Overall the movie just scratched the surface of the different conflicts of the book and the most important and exciting events were left out. Without the action and story that it needed to be a good science fiction film, The Host, instead, was more of a mind-numbing movie with no particular genre to define it.

According to the most recent data compiled by United States Census Bureau and The National Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, nearly 1 in 13 citizens in Connecticut have 1 or more substance abuse issues (these figures include statistical analysis of reported alcohol, prescription drug, and illicit drug abuse combined). An alarming number on the surface, yet understandable, as science reveals addiction as a disease of the brain. Unlike most mental disease, addiction can not only be treated, it can be permanently overcome during recovery. In return, addiction awareness and prevention become more widespread the more patient and understanding we become during the healing process.
