New Windows 7 icons were been introduced with the Vista and a lot of carry over to the Windows 7. Alternatively Mac OS 10 has got a few icons, which are clear like an internal drive while on the Windows and Vista 7 appears more like the external drive. The windows will not get rid of the older icons either. In case, you look in icons, then you can see the things like 3.5 or 5.25 floppy disk. Few differences with trash bin is on a Mac it is expanded when it is full.
The windows 7 has also continued glass like style that it debuted in the Windows Vista, also there are many icons possessing recent style, which steps away from glassy look. And one is Wordpad that in the Windows 7 follows different style. As well in the Mac OS X, TextEdit icon has got text that run in 'Think Different' TV adverts that Apple did in latter 90s.

Ruger Standard & MK Pistols
Ruger MK II
Never Overlook a Box Marked..................
SGW Gunsmith
Gun Parts! Last week when coming back from town I spotted a sigh in front of a house that stated there was an "ESTATE SALE TODAY". Thought I stop and nose around a bit to see if there were any items of interest. I spotted this box that has a sign next to it stating 'gun parts' $65.00, so I opened it up:
Yup! Gun parts alright, was just wondering if they were all included. I asked the person if this price was correct, and they responded that it was and they just wanted to get shed of those parts. I paid for the box of parts and cruised around for anything else that might cause me to reach again into my pocket.
Once I got back to my shop, curiosity was piqued and I wanted to find out if all the parts were indeed there. The pistol went together just find, even without one missing grip screw:
Most of you may already know that the AMT Lightning is "kind of a close" copy of the Ruger Mark II pistol introduced in 1984 by Arcadia Machine & Tool Co. They also produced a copy of the Ruger 10/22, and that must have been the last straw for Mr. William B. Ruger, as he had his team of lawyers draw up a letter of "displeasure" that AMT would dare do such a thing.
Once assembled, I found that this pistol is a bit more rough in action than the Mark II could ever possibly be, but we'll do some "tuning & smoothing" to see if we can get it even close to a Mark II. One, no two, things I did notice though. The bolt on this pistol is two piece with one-inch diameter, straight bolt ears and the mainspring housing assembly is cast as one piece. Interesting, but am wondering about who used those stainless steel parts first, Ruger, in 1982 when they introduced the Mark II in stainless, or AMT when they came out with the Lightning in 1984? Hmmmm.

What amazing luck! Must be someone disassembled it as a safety precaution and whoever priced it couldn't have known there was a whole pistol in there.

Yes, I think you nailed it. She knew it was a gun, but didn't know why her Dad took it apart. She just wanted it out of sight so her kids would not get hold of it. Not that they were likely to get it back to working order. She was happy with the $65.00 and after I found all the working parts were there, I was quite elated also.
From the way it sounded there were a few other firearms that other buyers carried off at bargain prices, just so they were gone, I guess.

It doesn't come along very often. Usually, folks think an old gun that grandpa left behind is worth a ton of money just because it's an old gun. Not always the case and most often it's a single shot 12 gauge off-brand sold at Coast to Coast for $45.00 back in 1952.

A great find. And no FFL required!
You can't call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.
OldStrummer said:
Thanks. The strange thing that I noticed on this box of parts (AMT Lightening) was that the bolt was a "two-piece" version, much like some of the Ruger Mark II stainless steel bolts were made.
Over on another forum (RFC) the process for a preventative fix for those bolts was bashed by a nitwit who calls himself "DrewBone", and sad to say, a member here agreed wholeheartedly with his post. Well, again, lesson learned. I see that there are snakes where you never expect them to be. Just can't trust some people, so will keep that in mind.
When I discussed my idea with the Customer Service Manager at Ruger about my method for a fix, he thought it was GREAT, and apparently, so do the owners of the 46 two-piece bolts that I've done, and they now maintain their original pistol as it SHOULD be. Joe, told me that they get between 3 and 6 Mark II, two-piece seperated bolts back a year. Now, there are no Mark II bolts left in stock for replacement so owners will then have a Mark IV bolt sent with a different type of bolt ear set-up.

When I lived in Beijing, I paid no rent: instead I lived in the homes of various Chinese families who allowed me to live with them free of charge on the condition that I help their children with English. In addition to writing, I earned a small sum through private tutoring and teaching high school seminars. My specialty were the high fliers aiming for the Ivy League. [...] The "highest fliers" were usually the children of Beijing's rich and prominent. By living in their homes, teaching in their schools, and meeting with them often to customize the education of their children, I was exposed to the inner life of Beijing's high society. It fundamentally reframed how I understand China.
She will (depending on the length of her morning commute) wake up somewhere between 5:30 and 7:00 AM. She must be in her seat by 7:45, 15 minutes before classes start. With bathroom breaks and gym class excepted, she will not leave that room until the 12:00 lunch hour and will return to the same spot after lunch is ended for another four hours of instruction. Depending on whether she has after-school tests that day, she will be released from her classroom sometime between 4:10 and 4:40. She then has one hour to get a start on her homework, eat, and travel to the evening cram school her parents have enrolled her in. Math, English, Classical Chinese — there are cram schools for every topic on the gaokao. On most days of the week she will be there studying from 6:00 to 9:00 PM (if the family has the money, she will spend another six hours at these after-school schools on Saturday and Sunday mornings). Our teenager will probably arrive home somewhere around 10:00 PM, giving her just enough time to spend two or three hours on that day's homework before she goes to bed. Rinse and repeat, day in and day out, for six years. The strain does not abate until she has defeated — or has been defeated by — the gaokao.

Our defective product attorneys have secured $724 million in combined verdicts for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer after regular use of talcum powder.

Talcum Powder & Ovarian Cancer | Talcum Powder Verdicts | Talc History
What is Talcum Powder?
Talc is a mineral made up of various elements including magnesium, silicon and oxygen. It is mined from the earth and then ground into a fine powder. Talcum powder is used in a wide variety of products, Johnson's Baby Powder for example, to absorb moisture.
Products that contain talcum powder:
Summer's Eve Body Powder
Nivea Pure Talc
Perfumed powders
Shower to Shower and Cashmere Bouquet body powders
Pressed cosmetic powders, including face powder, eye shadows and blush
Some deodorants
Some condoms and diaphragms
Popular brand names:
Johnson's Baby Powder
Cashmere Bouquet
Gold Bond Medicated Body Powder
In recent years, research has linked talc to deadly cancers, specifically ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.
Talcum Powder for Feminine Hygiene
For more than a century, Johnson & Johnson marketed its Johnson's Baby Powder, Shower to Shower body powder, and other talcum powder products as safe, even for infants. Many women grew up using the product not only to care for their babies, but also for their own personal hygiene based on the recommendation of their mothers and grandmothers. For generations, women were told a sprinkle of powder on their genitals would keep them dry and fresh.
Ads dating back to the 1980s for Shower to Shower body powder pushed the message, "just a sprinkle a day keeps odor away," and reminded women that "Your body perspires in more places than just under your arms."
In 2006, Johnson & Johnson launched a campaign to encourage minority women and overweight women to use its talcum powder as a genital antiperspirant and deodorant. According to internal documents, the company distributed baby powder samples through churches and beauty salons in African-American and Hispanic neighborhoods, and reached out to weight loss company Weight Watchers for other promotions. These efforts were allegedly designed to target "curvy Southern women 18-49 skewing African American."
What Johnson & Johnson wasn't telling women is that it was aware of studies from as early as the 1960s that were drawing a concerning link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer.
Link to Ovarian Cancer
In the 1960s, Harvard University researcher D. Daniel Cramer and colleagues saw a possible link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, noting that some talcum powders contained asbestos, and asbestos placed intraperitoneally on the surface of the ovaries of animals resulted in multilayered abnormal cell growth. In 1971, researchers observed talc in human ovarian and uterine cancers.
A 1982 case-controlled study was the first to link genital use of talcum powder to ovarian cancer. Since then, dozens of studies involving thousands of women have found that genital use of talcum powder increases the risk for the deadly disease, including one that found women who have used talcum powder on their genitals were 30 percent more likely to develop ovarian cancer than those who haven't.
In 2016, researchers with the University of Virginia focused their research on African American women, believing this demographic was more likely to have used talcum powder in this manner. They found that African American women who used talcum powder for feminine hygiene were 40 percent more likely to develop cancer than those who did not use talcum powder on their genitals.
Researchers with Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, conducting a National Institute of Health-funded ovarian cancer study, suggested that talcum powder causes inflammation in the body that can lead to cancer.
Asbestos in Talcum Powder
Asbestos is a known carcinogen. Because talc is mined from rock and soil, often in the same proximity and manner as asbestos, talcum powder can easily become contaminated. "During talc mining, if talc mining sites are not selected carefully and steps are not taken to purify the talc ore sufficiently, the talc may be contaminated with asbestos," the FDA said in a news release.
Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that is both durable and fire-resistant. It is used to make a variety of products including construction and shipbuilding materials, like insulations, cement products, and floor tiles; as well as friction products, like vehicle brakes and brake pads.
On Oct. 19, Johnson & Johnson recalled about 33,000 bottles of Johnson's Baby Powder after testing revealed that samples of the company's talcum powder were contaminated with asbestos. The recall prompted retailers – including Walmart, Rite Aid, CVS and Target – to pull all 22-ounce bottles Johnson's Baby Powder from their shelves and in some cases issue a "Do Not Sell" register prompt as a precaution.
In recent years, asbestos has been banned in more than 60 countries and its use limited in the United States. It had been known for decades that exposure to the microscopic fibers of asbestos could lead to cancers, including mesothelioma.
Asbestos exposure is most often linked to mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that forms in the lining of internal organs such as the lungs, abdomen, or chest.

Asbestos In Cosmetics
Recent testing of cosmetic products by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revealed asbestos in talc-based products sold by major retailers including Johnson & Johnson, Claire's and Beauty Plus Global. This testing has led to product recalls, including Johnson's Baby Powder.
Since 2018, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been conducting an ongoing survey of cosmetic products for asbestos. In that time, the agency has warned consumers when products have tested positive for asbestos and advised them to stop using them.
FDA testing has identified asbestos in the following talc-based cosmetics:

Johnson's Baby Powder, Lot #22318RB
Sept. 6, 2019 – Beauty Plus Global (Recall)

Q: Caches of all versions of a webapp deployed in parallel are shutdowned I use ehcache in a webapp whose versions are deployed in parallel on a Tomcat instance. This is a handy way to deploy new versions without stopping an application.
I however have a problem with this way to proceed : even if I give the cache and disk store different names, depending on the versions of the webapp, all caches are stopped when stopping one instance.
My config is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd" name="mywebapp-${project.version}_build_${buildNumber}">
<defaultCache
    maxElementsInMemory="1000"
    maxElementsOnDisk="10000"
    eternal="false"
    timeToLiveSeconds="300"
    timeToIdleSeconds="300"
    overflowToDisk="true"
    diskPersistent="false"
    memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU"
    statistics="true"
/>

<cache
    maxElementsInMemory="1000"
    maxElementsOnDisk="10000"
    name="org.hibernate.cache.internal.StandardQueryCache"
    eternal="false"

    timeToIdleSeconds="300"
    overflowToDisk="true"
    diskPersistent="false"
    statistics="true"/>

<diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir/mywebapp-${project.version}_build_${buildNumber}"/>

</ehcache>

${project.version} and ${buildNumber}
being replaced by maven during the build process.
Does someone know how to avoid this unwanted behaviour ?
I am using ehcache-core-2.4.3 and hibernate-ehcache-4.3.8.

A: The way net.sf.ehcache.constructs.web.ShutdownListener works is by shutting down ALL cache managers.
So the only way for this to work for you is by making sure your cache managers end up in different class loaders, that is ehcache is loaded by the web application class loader and not the container one.
Do you provide ehcache jar in your app's WEB-INF/lib? If yes, are you sure there is not an Ehcache in tomcat's classpath?
If this solution still does not work, you may be better off creating your own ServletContextListener that would shutdown only the cache manager from the containing application.

A: Some details are missing from your query.
1)How are you stopping the cache?
2)How are you deploying application in tomcat?
3)Have you checked the location where does the cache object is created ?
But as a behavior all cache will cleared once you restart tomcat.

The more proud of the Dodgers
magictr | March 26, 2020 | Sport | No Comments
Nobody is more accustomed to attend the matches of the Los Angeles Dodgers as the former team manager Tom Lasorda, who is a figure very popular among the supporters. For the first time since a long time, the man of 92 years of age could not come to greet the crowd during the opening day of activities in the major league baseball.
The official MLB had no choice but to postpone the start of the regular season because of the pandemic of the virus COVID-19. Almost a national holiday across the United States, the"Opening Day" should be celebrated at home, and this is also the case for Lasorda.
"I do not even know what is happening with the world. […] Fortunately, I have the tv. I need it more than ever," said the one who was manager of the Dodgers from 1976 to 1996 in the newspaper "Los Angeles Times", Wednesday.
"I believe that this country will grow out of it. It is too strong and too big for that."
His seventh-inning
In most of the games played at Dodger Stadium, Lasorda made an appearance on the giant screen during the seventh inning. He then gets a standing ovation warm all the supporters, who are familiar with the one that has allowed the city of angels to put the hand on two world Series during his reign.
"I'll tell you, [without the Dodgers] I would really be lost," said a member of the hall of fame of baseball. I don't know what to do. It gives me the opportunity to stay with people, try to help them and the Dodgers. This is how I serve."
Too proud to admit defeat so easily, Lasorda is convinced that Americans will regain their national pass-time soon enough and that he should not lose hope.
"I am privileged and honored to be here among the supporters. The buffs are the best thing in the world, he mentioned. They love to get out and go see the Dodgers play. We are at a point where we are no longer able to do so. We need to go back on the right path."

Home News Jeremy Reeves named Munford fire chief with town experiencing unprecedented growth
Jeremy Reeves named Munford fire chief with town experiencing unprecedented growth
Jeff Ireland
Two life-changing events led to Jeremy Reeves becoming Munford's fire chief.
The first came when Reeves was 15 and he was visiting his grandparents in rural Kentucky. His grandmother died from an aneurism after it took a while for first responders to get to her house.
"I don't know if you'd call it foreshadowing, but I knew I wanted to help people because I thought maybe she could have lived," said Reeves, who began taking EMT classes four years later.
When he was 19 a brush fire broke out behind his South Tipton County home.
"I grabbed some towels because I didn't know what to do," Reeves said. "I probably made my mom mad because I used some of her good towels. I went out there and helped them put the fire out."
While he was ruining his mom's towels Munford Fire Chief Jay Bonson asked him if he wanted to become a firefighter.
"I was like, 'Sure, why not?'"
He went to his first firefighter training class that very night and became a volunteer. He was hired full-time in 2008, became a lieutenant in 2010 and was named acting chief last July when Chief Alan Barkelew was dealing with some health issues.
Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole officially named Jeremy Reeves the town's fire chief at last month's board meeting.
After Barkelew retired Reeves was named chief at Munford's board meeting on Nov. 22.
Reeves, 35, becomes chief at a time when Munford is going through unprecedented growth. Approximately 1,400 houses have recently been built or are under construction right now. He believes more firefighters will be hired over the next few years and it's likely an additional fire station could be added within 10 years or so.
"We're fixing to boom like Atoka did a few years ago," Reeves said. "Honestly, changes are going to be coming, but nothing crazy, nothing too big right now. I have an awesome, awesome group of guys and they're really good at their jobs. I know that sounds cliche, but they're really are good at their jobs. I'm not going to be a micromanager. They're the ones that run the day-to-day and I trust them completely to do that."
Reeves no longer uses towels to put out fires. Instead, he plans on helping the department evolve as Munford grows.
"Chief Barkelew was a good a chief and I learned a lot," Reeves said. "I'm ready to lead us to a bigger and better future."

'Israel will not shy away from another Gaza war'
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi warns that if tensions continue to escalate on the Israel-Gaza border, the military will not hesitate to launch another campaign in Gaza.

(August 31, 2021 / Israel Hayom) Israel will not hesitate to launch another campaign in the Gaza Strip if tensions on the border continue to escalate, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi said on Monday.
"As soon as 'Operation Guardian of the Walls' ended, the IDF began to prepare for another campaign," he said. "We have improved and continue to improve our warfare capabilities as well as operational plans in the Strip. Unless calm is maintained in the south, we will not hesitate to launch another campaign."
The Israel-Gaza border has seen weeks of unrest, with Palestinian rioters burning tires and throwing explosives at IDF troops. On Aug. 21, Israeli Border Police officer Bar-El Hadaria Shmueli was shot in the head at the border fence. After fighting for his life at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva for several days, Shmueli succumbed to his wounds on Monday afternoon.
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz also told reporters on Monday that another war with Hamas was on the table.
"Our attacks in Gaza are focused in a way that they target Hamas, depriving it of its capabilities. I cannot guarantee that 'Operation Guardian of the Walls' will not resume," he said.

9 new trailers you should watch this week
I watched HBO's new film Bad Education last week. The whole thing felt a bit like a heist movie in reverse — it's about a superintendent who's stealing money from his school district, only you're watching as the crime unravels, rather than as it plays out.
It's a fun film, in large part thanks to Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney taking on some big characters. But the movie also takes the course a lot of true-story movies do, where they worry more about telling you what happened than they do about building characters.
I think this works to a point. It's a wild story, and they do an entertaining job telling it. But I wish the film pushed a little further into who these people are. Showing the crime only as it's unraveled is a cool way to tell the story, but it also means we don't get to learn much about what anyone is doing until it's a bit too late.
Check out nine trailers from this week below.
Almost a decade after leaving The Office, Steve Carell has a new sitcom. While Space Force is a workplace comedy, and Carell is once again playing a boss, he's taking on a very different role than Michael Scott. In Space Force, he seems to be the one everyone else is playing off, and there's a great cast around him. It looks like it's off to a funny start. The show debuts May 29th.
It's been a while since we got a new Judd Apatow comedy. His first feature since Trainwreck five years ago stars Pete Davidson as a slacker still living at home, who suddenly has to start being responsible for some young kids. Universal's trailer for the film paints it as weirdly uplifting… which I have to imagine is not the primary tone of the movie? It heads on demand on June 12th.
Becoming is being pitched as the documentary counterpart to Michelle Obama's blockbuster memoir. It's hard to imagine fans won't find something to enjoy here, though The New York Times said the documentary is less revealing than the book. The film hit Netflix earlier this week.
I'll Be Gone In the Dark
HBO has a documentary adaptation of Michelle McNamara's investigation into the Golden State Killer, and like the book, it seems to pull in McNamara's obsession around finding the culprit in a big way. The documentary comes to HBO on June 28th.
Have A Good Trip
Hearing your friends' stories about being high and laughing at dumb stuff is never as funny as they imagine it's going to be. But… it might be a little different when it's famous people telling you stories about being high, and that seems to be what Have A Good Trip is all about. The film comes to Netflix on May 11th.
It's The Great British Bake Off, but with flowers — and that seems like a pretty good recipe. The show debuts May 18th.
Elisabeth Moss plays a take on the horror writer Shirley Jackson, author of "The Lottery" and The Haunting of Hill House, in Shirley. The film comes from Josephine Decker, the director behind Madeline's Madeline, and it looks similarly dreamy to her previous work. The film comes out June 5th.
I try not to post too many weird trailers each week, but I had to make extra room for this one, which seems to be a neo-noir gangster vampire movie about a hitman hunting down a jazz musician, if I'm understanding all of this correctly? It comes out June 5th.
This is sort of like Home Alone… except the bad guy is a neo-Nazi played by Kevin James.

Discussion in 'Mod Releases' started by Fan of Saints, Jun 25, 2015.
The best way around that, is to make your character, and then install the mod. Other users have reported this issue as well. Another way, is to make your character (which will be invisible) and the moment you are in the plane, go ahead and quit the game and restart. You should have the model of the default male, and go to image as designed once you've escaped.
My character is invisible even after quitting and restarting the game. However, the hair is visible.
Is it just this one outfit? Huh, that's weird, I didn't touch it at all.
Though I just checked this DualShock 3/4 mod and it collides with the pack, tell me if you prefer DualShock 3 or DualShock 4 version and I'll send you updated ASM_PC file.
It is probably too late to be asking but did a fix for this ever get made? I am in the same boat in that I was hoping to use this pack and the dualshock 4 button prompts mod but I noticed that patch_vint_doc_containers.asm_pc , interface-backend_cpeg_pc and interface-backend_gpeg_pc are in conflict. If a fix did get made for this I cannot seem to find a link anywhere. If anyone has it or knows where it could be found it would be appreciated. Alternatively I would have no problem attempting to fix the conflict(s) myself however these files do not seem to be covered by the merge mods guide here: https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/merging-mods-many-images-within.4782/ . If anyone around could assist in that manner I would be graeful.
I used to play with GoS and decided to check this one out. So far i've only noticed changed vehicle handling and smarter enemies. What's up with a very far third person camera and invisible character after the first mission? Somehow managed to get over it and finally got to the character creation. How do i get rid of super buffed-up bodies? I've deleted 'player_creation.xtbl' as it is said on the mod page but now i can't really change clothes in store. Everytime i try to change them (in a safehouse, shops) they don't change appearance, a bit of scrolling up and down and my game starts to stutter then when i hit a menu button or something else i get blackscreen and that's all. I'd really like to play with TTDIS but this stuff makes me crazy. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Hello, unfortenately i can`t play with this mod.
I did install on fresh and clean steam installation but as soon as i start new game i get black screen.
I really want this mod , any sollutions?
Finally get it to work.
Clean steam files-> install mod ->goto folder ?:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\47494006\55230\remote and delete remotecache.vdf !!!
Start Game , set Antiallising to 8x , play prologue till character complitation -> Character is invisible ! -> start game -> when in prison , save game, exit game , restart game and you`ll be fine.
Great mod ,much better than the others!!!
does this work with the all new character creation mod by jedidave?
Just installed the mod package and im not able to get past the opening mission. When i have killed the swat guys that attack helicopter spawns 200ish meters below me on to the ground and doesnt move anywhere. I managed to damage it enough to trigger the "vault ride" section by using satchel charges to boost myself to the roof of the next skyscraper and shooting the chopper from there. But when the vault is lifted after the cutscene the helicopter doesnt show up at all and im left to shoot endless waves of swat guys on the roof. Any fixes to the issue?
When i had Gentlemen of Steelport installed in my game, this would also happened to me when i start a new game. I fixed it by disabling Heli Customization since it converts all helis into boats. My point is if you have a Gentlemen of Steelport build with Heli Customization installed (or just the mod itself), you should remove it and rebuild it without that mod.
It gets a bit trickier when we're talking about Realistic Eye Textures though, as removing it also requires updating ASM_PC files. I might do that for you later but you have to tell me if you're using Naughty Edition first, as it's different there.
How do you remove Realistic Eye Textures with Naughty Edition installed on SR3 and SR4? I already know how to remove it without the Naughty Edition installed and to be honest, it's easy! You just have to remove the eye_[color].str2_pc files and update the removal with ASM Updater. Anyways, I honestly like to use the vanilla eyes instead of those eyes because my character is supposed to look like me (minus/excluding the clothes) and my (blue) eyes aren't as light as the RET blue eye. I also like to keep most of my character customization as vanilla as possible.

Capacity building, institutional building & Knowledge management, etc.
Currently, 42 climate proofing projects under WDF and 40 projects under IGWDP are being implemented in 6 States with total financial outlay of Rs.2250.40 lakh.
Due to adverse impact of climate change in the recent pass in the region, the springs which are the lifeline in the NER are getting dried up, affecting agriculture and livelihood of rural community. To address the issue, NABARD is promoting innovative and integrated concept of Springshed based participatory watershed development programme in NER, including Sikkim on a pilot basis with financial support under WDF.
The programme was launched in January 2017, and the entry point activities are being undertaken in the programme area. The approach is expected not only to address drinking water scarcity in the region but also, help farmers doing farming during off-season as well, for the alternate livelihood. It is planned to sanction and implement 25 projects during the current financial year in the identified project areas.
To address the sustainable development in completed watershed projects, NABARD has come out with Sustainable Development Policy, wherein, the critical issues of technology transfer, agriculture extension, credit intensification, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Integrated Nutrient Management (INM), Promotion of FPOs etc., are being addressed in the post watershed development period through capacity building and leadership development of the watershed community, convergence of various centrally sponsored schemes like National Food Security Mission, National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture, etc. including social security schemes like PMJJBY, PMSBY, APY, JDY, etc. The pilot has been rolled out in 8 States during 2016-17. In all, 336 SDP projects are being implemented, with financial commitment of ` 3259 lakh.
In order to promote holistic development in watershed villages with integration of social infrastructural facilities like health, education, sanitation, etc., in NABARD assisted watershed projects, a few corporate bodies have partnered with NABARD for convergence of their CSR funds on Co-funding basis. So far, about 28 corporates bodies are associated with NABARD for implementation of 130 Watershed Development projects with co-funding arrangement. Major corporate bodies include ITC, TATA TRUST, MCX, Ambuja Cement Foundation, Dalmia Cement, Jindal Steel, BALCO, Mahindra & Mahindra. As on 31 December 2017, 130 projects are being implemented under CSR collaboration with total financial outlay of Rs. 9385.21 lakh, out of which Rs. 3571.68 lakh has been contributed by corporate bodies. In order to have enhanced value addition, more visibility and better impact of such collaboration, integration of CSR funds is being advocated for watershed plus activities like health, sanitation, drinking water, education, skill development, popularizing alternate Agri and Allied livelihood enterprises among watershed community, etc. to ensure holistic development on such areas.
NABARD has signed MoU with National Remote Sensing Centre, Hyderabad (NRSC) for monitoring of all the ongoing watershed projects in 16 states through Geospatial, satellite and mobile app. based technologies. The project provides NABARD the platform on BHUVAN web portal for digitization, online and real time tracking of physical and financial progress and impact evaluation of watershed projects through use of remote sensing, GIS and GPS technologies.
In order to address climate change issues along with restoration and rehabilitation of degraded soils for ensuring food security, under 'One World No Hunger' programme, KfW Germany is implementing Soil Restoration and Rehabilitation programme in 123 watershed projects completed by NABARD under Watershed Development Fund. The programme is being implemented over a period of 4 years until December 2019 in the states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha and Chhattisgarh with total Financial Component of EUR 10 million. The funds are routed through NABARD for implementation of the programme by Project Facilitating Agencies and Village Watershed Committees (VWCs). An amount of Rs.5952.98 lakh has been sanctioned for 123 projects out of which as on 31st December 2017, Rs. 2350.57 has been disbursed to PFAs and VWCs for implementation of the projects.

Mar, 9, 2015 Posted in People
As a landowner and proprietor of Eshton Hall near Gargrave, Mary Richardson Currer (1781-1861) exercised considerable influence in the old West Riding of Yorkshire. Although she never met the Brontës, both families were on visiting terms with the Revd. Theodore Dury (1788-1850), Rector of St Andrew's Church, Keighley, through whom, apparently, she negotiated a gift to Patrick Brontë (1777-1861) of fifty pounds (£50) following the death of his wife Maria, née Branwell (1813-1821) in September 1821. This made good the Brontë family's loss of her annuity of a similar amount. Although it had been intended as a gift, in due course, Patrick returned the amount through the charitable clergy channel that had conveyed it to him.
In the decades surrounding the Reform Acts (1832 and 1866), the responsibilities of the clergy and their associates, the landowning gentry, among them Miss Currer, included among their responsibilities the management of schools, roads, drainage and other services that have subsequently passed to elected local government bodies. Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) recognised Miss Currer's eminence in the region by adopting her name as her nom-de-plume, 'Currer Bell'. In addition, Charlotte drew on Miss Currer as a role model in her village activities, notably the Haworth Sunday School, where she acted as instructor.
Indirectly, too, Charlotte's extraordinarily wide reading would have been encouraged by the example of Miss Currer's local celebrity as the collector of a formidable private library. Although Charlotte's portrayal of Shirley Keeldar, the heroine of Shirley (1849), is mainly an expression of admiration for the strong, managing character of Emily Brontë (1818-1848), whose death left the Parsonage desolate, Charlotte seems to have drawn on the image of Miss Currer for her literary portrait of a forceful, kind-hearted, landowning character.
Both sisters had reason to admire this local landowner, who maintained a strong presence in the affairs of the old West Riding, not least in her gift of books and shelving to the Keighley Mechanics' Institute Library. Despite contrary suggestions, many of the Institute's books are echoed in the Brontë sisters' writings.

Elisa Pérez Walker (1930 – 4 September 2012), better known by the pseudonym Elisa Serrana, was a Chilean feminist, teacher, and novelist. She was a member of her country's Generation of '50, which also included , Elena Aldunate, Mercedes Valdivieso, and Matilde Ladrón de Guevara.

Biography
Elisa Pérez Walker was born into a family of landowners. Her mother was Blanca Walker Larraín and her father was Santiago Pérez Peña, a civil engineer, farmer, deputy for Caupolicán Department (1924; 1926–1930), Minister of Justice (1932), mayor of Magallanes (1937), and president of the Chilean Golf Federation (1949–1951).

About them she would say:

Elisa, who had eight brothers, was educated at the , about which she later said, "Family affection failed to sweeten the bitter memory I have of my childhood: the school, the classmates, and the teachers were tremendously odious." She then studied pedagogy in religion at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile.

At age 19 she married , an essayist 20 years her elder, the former Minister of Agriculture (1940), a future member of the Academia Chilena de la Lengua (1970), and columnist for El Mercurio. The couple had five daughters, among them writer Marcela Serrano, of whom it was observed "you can perceive a certain continuity, a literary-filial relationship that seems to go hand in hand with the generational change that took place between Elisa Serrana and her daughter." Their daughter  is a historian.

In 1972 the Popular Unity government expropriated the Los Remolinos family farm in Ñuble, which according to her daughter Margarita "was an emotional tragedy" for the family. Despite this, they were not supporters of the military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet against Salvador Allende the following year.

Elisa Serrana worked at the  publishing house from 1962 to 1976, becoming director of the Disney children's magazine department. She was a teacher at Saint George's College in Santiago.

After suffering a stroke in 1987, she retired to , 15 kilometers from Melipilla, where she spent the last 30 years of her life. Described by her daughters Paula and Margarita as "extremely Catholic," the writer "never stopped believing or praying."

Literary career
Elisa Serrana's first creative efforts were, she considered, "horrible verses, which converged in a shoebox as a wonderful secret." She later wrote her first novel, which she later described as "320 pages of fiction with some real touches and features of people" about her family, which was never released "because the book is bad." She published a poetry collection, Homenaje al miedo, in 1950.

Her first stories were brought to writer Eugenio González Rojas, who commented on and corrected them. She began to publish articles and short stories in various newspapers and magazines in 1955. She made a name for herself as a writer in 1960, when her first novel Las tres caras de un sello was published to critical success.

In the literary field, much of her work concerned the role of bourgeois women in Chile. Four novels followed: Chilena, casada, sin profesión, an exhibit of the effects of feminism in Chilean society of the 1920s; Una; En blanco y negro; and A cuál de ellas quiere usted: "mandandirumdirunda", which received a distinction in the 1985 María Luisa Bombal Contest.

In the opinion of Michelle Prain Brice, Serrana portrayed

The stroke she suffered in 1987 forced her to abandon literary production, without realizing her dream of writing what she considered her masterpiece: "the story of three generations, her mother's, hers, and their daughters. The three with their dramas and virtues and with their difficulties of adaptation."

This talk didn't happen (or hasn't happened yet) because I sprained my ankle badly when running the previous evening, and spent the morning at hospital getting it checked.
I gave a talk on study design for EME Programme applications. I don't think I said what people were expecting at all but I had some positive comments. Here are the slides and here is the script (which I didn't really use). They recorded it too so I'll link to that when it's posted somewhere.

Mecum Glendale 2021 Records $42.3 Million in Sales
3-Day Auction at State Farm Stadium Exceeds Expectations and Raises the Bar for Future Success
Above: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe Original Engine, Duntov Mark of Excellence (Lot S122.1); sold at $2,695,000 Below: 2016 Ferrari F12tdf 449 Miles, Originally Owned by Roger Penske (Lot S105); sold at $880,000
Walworth, Wis --
Mecum Auctions, the world's largest collector car auction company, outdid itself once again, setting a new record-high sales total for its Glendale, Arizona, auction. Held March 18-20 at State Farm Stadium, the 2021 auction reached $42.3 million in overall sales totals, a more than 14% increase over Mecum's first auction in Glendale, which itself had been a record-setting event as the highest-grossing inaugural event in company history.
A total of 712 of the 829 offered vehicles hammered sold for an exceptional 86% sell-through rate, and the auction's top seller achieved a sale price of $2.7 million. The top-selling 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe (Lot S122.1) was an award-winning car that boasted an original legendary L88 engine, easily shooing it into the multimillion-dollar collector car category.
"The success of this auction in only its third year is unprecedented," Mecum Chief Operating Officer Sam Murtaugh noted. "By exceeding $42 million in sales in only three days, the Glendale, Arizona, event has officially established itself as the third largest auction on the Mecum calendar. The success and continued growth would not be possible without the natural synergy that has developed with our partners at State Farm Stadium and the gracious host city of Glendale. Mecum is excited to compound the momentum in Arizona, and we all look forward to 2022 by making it bigger and better than ever."
Other notable vehicles to land among the top-10 sellers in Glendale included a trio of Ferraris from the headlining 20-vehicle Steve Todhunter Collection, which sold in its entirety for an overall total of $6.08 million. It was a 2016 Ferrari F12tdf (Lot S105) that landed the second seat in top sales at $880,000, followed by a 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO (Lot S103) in third with a $720,500 sale. Todhunter's 2006 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo (Lot S109) nabbed the fourth spot among top auction sales with a $605,000 price tag.
Another main attraction collection in Glendale was the diverse Napa Valley Collection of 18 classic vehicles, which saw a 100% sell-through rate for a total of $2.1 million. Four of the collection's cars broke into the six-figure range with a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (Lot F123) claiming the fifth spot among top auction sales at $495,000 and a 1970 DeTomaso Mangusta (Lot F120) just shy of making the list at $302,500.
The complete top 10 collector-car sales at the Glendale 2021 auction include:
1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe (Lot S122.1) at $2,695,000
2016 Ferrari F12tdf (Lot S105) at $880,000
2011 Ferrari 599 GTO (Lot S103) at $720,500
2006 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo (Lot S109) at $605,000

These ancient parchments discovered by chance in desert caves by the Dead Sea tell mysteries about the mysterious Jewish sect that wrote them, and debunk a myth about Goliath's height while about it.
In 1947, a group of Bedouin stumbled upon a number of clay jars in Khirbet Qumran, a site of caves overlooking the Dead Sea. Inside the jars were beautifully preserved scrolls with ancient Hebrew writing.


Earlier this week, a situation came up where we needed to make sure a new feature worked when it was used with a non-English culture. Normally we'd run some tests on a Japanese machine, but one wasn't readily available at the time. Instead, I put together a quick tool that our tester could use to run his tests under.
The tool simply switches the current culture (and UI culture by default) of the running thread, then proceeds to execute the target application. The obvious downside is that the tool only changes the culture of the main thread, so any work done on newly created threads or the thread pool will not automatically pick up the culture change. However, for cases where you know that your work will only be done on one thread, or you manually propagate culture information, this will work as a quick and dirty way to launch applications.

"Tootsie was a stray who came into our local shelter. I brought her home to foster her for Internet MinPin Service a year ago. She was somewhere around 10 years old at the time. She apparently had had injuries to her back legs. There was little muscle tone and she could barely walk, often holding one leg up as she tried. I started her on a glucosamine/chondroitin preparation but saw little progress. Three months later someone told be about Askariel products and I purchased the Amazing ArthroSoothe and started her on that. She made amazing progress. Within a month she was able to use the leg that previously she had not walked on. A couple months later she was able to go at a fast walk and a few more months and she could trot. Six months after starting the Amazing ArthroSoothe, she was able to actually run. Today you would never know that her back legs had been so bad. She has good muscle tone, runs, uses steps, and never has any more discomfort."
"My dog Buddy is a 7 year old Golden Retriever. He started to limp after a little playtime and overall just seemed like he was getting old. We used some Rimadyl but since my vet told me these products can be hard on Buddy's liver, I wanted to find a natural vitamin.
I ordered the Pet Arthritis Package and, I must admit, was a bit skeptical. I just had to write to tell you how great these formulas worked. I used the Pet Arthritis Package and within DAYS, Buddy started to improve. He is now able to jump back on the bed and is wanting to go on walks and play again. Thanks Ask Ariel!"
"When we got Legend as a 1 year old dog, we noticed he couldn't jump into our van or onto the bed. He tired easily after running just for a minute. We had to lift a 70 lb dog into the van if we wanted to take him somewhere! We found out he had some weakness and inclination toward hip dysplasia. We weren't sure if it would help but we tried the Pet Arthritis Package. It is amazing how much these products helped him right away. He now leaps and bounds flying off the bed onto our other dog and is just a big bundle of energy. We are truly AMAZED how well these pet arthritis products work."
"Thank you so much for recommending these terrific products to us. Our Labrador Retriever Jake was really slowing down. He wasn't able to jump on the bed anymore and was having difficulty getting up the stairs. Within 2 weeks of using these products, he is feeling so much better. He is much more energetic and seems like his old self. Thank you Susan and Ask Ariel"

I loved my birthday hat! I intend to wear it every year until it falls apart. It's beautiful and very well-made.

Rebel Yell, A Hero for Southerners
In this piece, Carolina Contrarian interviews a young Southerner, known online as "Electric Dinosaur" (old ideas, new technology) about his new graphic novel series entitled "Rebel Yell" featuring a Confederate superhero.
C: Can you give us some background on who you are and tell us a little about yourself?
ED: Sure. I'm from the rural Deep South. I enjoy the countryside, drawing, and telling stories. I'm in my twenties. I think that storytelling is a craft which is often underappreciated, and is generally something at which Southerners excel.
CC: How did you become interested in Southern history and identity?
ED: It was definitely my rearing. At an early age, I recognised there was something different about the South, even if the particulars weren't worked out until later. Of course, family is the greatest influence, and my parents and grandparents helped form me. Like any proper culture, you're in it before you realise just exactly what it is, it being so natural.
In later years, I was a member of the SCV along with my father and grandfather. There was a website called Southern Nationalist Network which was also really good (I remember Lewis Liberman did some graphics for it), but then it fell off the map, sadly. Then I found the Abbeville Institute and, more recently, Reckonin', both of which are greatly needed. We need fellowship of like-minded people.
CC: What gave you the idea to create a graphic novel?
ED: Ideas are always floating around, but this one didn't come concretely until 2015, after the terrible Charleston Church shooting. I was so disaffected by the various State governments' spinelessness that I wanted to do something. Most Southerners, it seems, weren't standing up for their flag, so I wanted to show in a simple way that it is a symbol for good. Superheros seemed an accessible way of telling stories, especially given their popularity both at that time and presently.
CC: I assume you're a fan of the genre. Are there other characters or series that you especially like?
ED: I was raised reading comics - all manner, mind you, not just superheros. But the superhero comics we did read were really good. Primarily, these were from the Silver Age (c. 1955-1970), during the heyday of the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Batman, Green Lantern, etc. Even then, especially during the late 60s, comics began to get kinda depressing. DC especially turned to more mature themes, like the drug problem. One Green Lantern/Green Arrow special in 1971 even had Green Arrow's kid-sidekick do drugs (a vice which he ultimately kicks, but the inclusion was just strange). And then of course politics took a heavy hand in many. So when Obama makes an appearance in Spiderman, it doesn't really surprise me.
One enjoyable character was Cannonball, a Southerner from Kentucky who appeared in The New Mutants (an X-men spin off). Speaking with a drawl, he at one point remarks that he's used to outnumbered fights, as his ancestor had served in the Confederate army (which I believe may be where his particular moniker came from - he could turn himself into a human cannonball). The early issues especially were well-written and with a good cast of characters.
Some contemporary superhero comics which are pretty good are those published by Arkhaven Comics. One of their characters is called Rebel, a girl from Alabama with superpowers. They're really taking the initiative in trying to offer some alternatives to the mainstream comic book industry. I have a soft spot for them because they've been publishing the works of PG Wodehouse as comics - a really stellar job.
Of course, there's a great site in the Digital Comic Museum, where you can read slews of old comics that are now in the public domain. There's some really good stuff out there, often overlooked or ignored because it isn't Batman.
CC: There are several other contributors named in the first book. How did you find artists and others to partner with for the finished product?
ED: There's an online artist forum called DeviantArt where people can exchange ideas, post their own work, or hire others to help them. It's all very freelance and flexible. Overall, the site is surprisingly Southern-tolerant, so far as symbols go (no purge yet). I had seen one artist advertising way back in 2014, I believe, and reached out to him the following year. I would have drawn the first few issues myself, but other duties impeded. Finding the colourist was much the same. I really wish we could found a forum of Southern artists, though there are online groups.
CC: How long did the development process take?
ED: The first issue, because I wasn't tackling it seriously and sat on it for so long, actually went from 2015-2018. When the thought finally struck me to crowdfund the printing, everything was done but lettering and editing. The actual development process (say for issue 3) takes maybe two or three months, from writing the script, turning in the pages of the script and references, and waiting around for the page roughs. Colouring is a quick return. Formatting can be tricky and causes the most headache. But, with the experience gained from issues 1-3, the time span keeps getting less and less. I'd say three months tops for new work.
CC: I like how you name the dystopian setting "Vandal City." It really illustrates the destructiveness of the enemies of the Rebel. How do you plan to flesh out the "villains" of the series?
ED: Thank you, the name was fun to create. I was surprised no one had taken it yet.
Superheroes themselves are neat (and obviously the main attraction), but the good guys have good standards. They have to act in a way that, while maybe not predictable, is probable. They have to be good, and the reader should like them.
Villains, on the other hand, have a destructive freedom. They can be bad guys who are hated or bad guys who are loved. You can make them off-puttingly bizarre or as commonplace as you want. Not only this, but they serve as illustrations of ailments facing modern man, whether it be greed, ambition, or other errors. Take the diabolical distortions of tech-guru "Synicon" from a future issue:
Synicon: "People used to love God, because God knew all things. He even knew you - everything about you. You could speak to him whenever you wished and were perfectly understood by him even when you didn't understand yourself. A necessary role for the well-being of man. Now, however, that function has been supplanted by our own methods. Knowledge of yourself - the most intimate personal details, relationships, biological urgings and genetic makeup - can be transmitted seamlessly to millions across the planet. The universal quest for God was nothing more than a quest to make oneself known and loved by all. But we need not a god to make known one's individuality. We now have methods for finding it even when you yourself don't know."
Other: "This is all superficial understanding. A man can't be known by others in ---"
Synicon: "But they think they can, and who can tell them they are wrong? Who has the authority to deny them their reality? The mind - and the notions therein - is all that matters. We shape the world - all matter is malleable."
Of course, at the end of the day, bad guys are bad no matter how much we enjoy writing them, and the writing itself should reflect that. If there are shades of gray, these should be rare.
CC: The nods to 1980s pop songs were a neat touch, that I, as a Gen-Xer, particularly appreciate. What gave you the idea for that?
ED: Glad they pleased! I'm a millennial myself, though I do enjoy earlier music. The whole first issue - especially the villain - was a little observance on culture. We have some outlandish punk-pop baddie attempting to take revenge on his former girl, who herself can't find her place. The whole city is sort of a throw-away culture, cheap and artificial (like superhero comics generally, really). The Rebel enters in opposition to the noise with his own voice.
As for the name "Rebel Yell," both it and the first villain, Gunther Glitz, were inspired by a particular artist, so it only seemed fitting to fill the pages with song references from that era.
CC: What do you hope readers get from Rebel Yell?
ED: I foremostly want them to enjoy it. Then I hope they can see our symbols as something good. Let them know they have a voice and are themselves something unique.
CC: I see that the second issue is in development. Can you give us any hints about what to expect in this next installment?
ED: The second issue was actually supposed to be launched after four or five other issues, but I decided to step up the date because of the continued destruction of our monuments. The issue centres on such vandalism. It's not as heavy on story as the other issues, but rather spotlights a big brawl between our hero and some modern urban redecorators. Expect some high energy.
CC: What are your long-term plans for the series?
ED: I have a dozen issues of Rebel Yell scripted, three or four of which I hope to launch a year (all total, over a hundred pages annually). I hope to get enough of a base that we can expand into some other minor areas as well. I have a pop-culture magazine, reminiscent of the old gem Nintendo Power, that I've been working on. It's about halfway through. I don't know if there'd be much interest in that, but it's fun nonetheless.
