Mom: Sridevi Impresses Yet Again, Despite The Glitches | Mom Movie Review
Sridevi starrer Mom is a powerful story of a mother, and draws you in, despite a somewhat unbelievable storyline.
Bollywood has matured over the years. It is refreshing to see that it now has lead roles for female protagonists who are in their 40s and 50s. The subject of assault on women has been dealt with sensitively in recent movies such as Pink and Kahaani 2. Rape is no longer about the heroine screaming 'Bhagwan ke liye mujhe chod do' with the scene added for titillation, only for her to be rescued by the hero. It is now about the survivor.
Sridevi had enamoured us with her performance in English Vinglish. She is back with Mom to prove that she knows her craft with such finesse that she can bring any character to life.
A woman's quest for justice
(Spoilers follow)
A caring yet strict school teacher and a devoted mother, Devki (Sridevi) lives in Delhi with her husband, Anand (Adnan Siddiqui) and two daughters. The elder daughter, Arya (Sajal Ali) seems like a regular adolescent from an affluent family whose life revolves around her friends, crushes, gadgets and planning vacations to exotic locations, while resenting her stepmother whom she calls 'Ma'am.
In a horrifying scene, Arya is abducted in a car and gang-raped by four men. Despite Arya's statements identifying her assailants, they end up walking free as the evidence is tampered with. Devki, who has lost hope in the judiciary takes it on herself to avenge her daughter's gang rape and punish the four rapists, with help from a private detective DK (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), while trying to protect herself from the crime branch cop, Mathew Francis (Akshaye Khanna) who has become suspicious.
The rest of the movie follows her quest for justice. Despite a somewhat unbelievable plot hereon, and a cliched climax, what really worked for me was Sridevi's natural and flawless acting. Even though there are too many loopholes in the plot that take away from the engaging premise created built up during the first hour of the movie, she can emote grief and shock in a way that continued to haunt me after leaving the theatre.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is also excellent, as always. His accent, his humour, the little nuances that he does with his character are all very appealing. The direction is impressive in parts, particularly an aerial shot of the car in which the gang-rape happens with an eerie background music, followed by a look at the victim – brutally honest and raw.
Mom and Pink: Comparing two women centric movies
Mom is being compared to two other recent movies, Pink and Maatr. I have not seen Maatr, but, in my opinion, Pink was a cult movie. It was not restricted to the assault on women, and their struggle with the judiciary, but instead, was a preview into the sick mind of a perpetrator who has no respect for a certain 'type' of woman. It challenged Indian sensibilities to accept that a woman has the choice to say 'No' at any given point of time, even if it means withdrawing her consent.
Most men (and women) I interacted with after Pink was released, agreed that going into a room with an unknown man was 'asking for it'. Drinking or dressing a certain way, staying out late are all beyond their purview of acceptable behavior, something they would never do. Some people even gave me examples of having an expensive car, and how one would not leave it unlocked on the streets at night! A typical discussion on the movie flowed as follows:
Me: Don't compare women to cars! A woman is not a property.
Pink Haters: It is not about that. It is about being careful and protecting your precious belongings!
Me: Then what about little kids and old women getting raped? I am sure they don't go out drinking at night in short clothes. What about women getting raped in their homes, office premises?
Pink Haters: That's different. They are innocent but here, the girls invited trouble!
The argument ends with accusing feminism of being an 'out of control' liberation movement that is unequipped to deal with its 'consequences'.
My takeaways
For preventing crime against women, there are few things that need to be done.
1.At a very basic level, there should be better law and order in place.
2.Secondly, the punishment should be so harsh that there is a sense of fear. With corruption running in our veins, the influential and wealthy get away with everything. Our judicial system is slow to begin with. While announcing the verdict in Mom, the judge says that 'As per the principles of justice, even if a guilty person walks free, an innocent person should not get punished.' If for argument's sake, the criminals do get punished despite lack of evidence, human right activists would come running to their rescue.
3.The most subtle yet important aspect is to change the people's mentality fundamentally, which is what Pink aimed at.
India fails in all of the above. If I look at developed counties, the United States for example, there is still a high rate of crime. Given their (lack of) gun laws, they are vulnerable to incidents of shootings committed by mentally disturbed individuals. But in India, the criminals are usually not mentally ill. They are fearless. They know that they will get away with it.
What is the key takeaway then from a movie like Mom other than its cinematic appeal?
I wish there was a vigilante!

The new classification of malignant fibrous histiocytoma leaves only a small group of tumors without further line of differentiation, so-called pleomorphic sarcomas, not otherwise specified (NOS) as a pseudo-entity. This study focused on these tumors and analyzed the association of gene expression profiles to clinical outcome.
Ten fresh samples of pleomorphic NOS sarcomas were evaluated histopathologically and by means of microarray analysis. Analysis of expression profiles was performed by clustering methods as well as by statistical analysis of primary vs recurrent tumors, irradiated vs nonirradiated tumors, tumors of patients above and below 60 years of age, male and female, and of tumors that developed metastatic or recurrent disease during the clinical course and those that did not.
Tumor clustering did not correlate to any histopathological or clinical finding. Detailed gene expression analysis showed a variety of genes whose upregulation (platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha polypeptide, solute carrier family 39 member 14, solute carrier family 2 member 3, pleiotrophin, trophinin, pleckstrin and Sec7 domain containing 3, enolase 2, biglycan, SH3 and cysteine-rich domain, matrix metalloproteinases 16) and whose downregulation (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 4, hairy/enhancer of split related with YRPW motif 2, protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type Z polypeptide 1, SH3 domain GRB2-like 2, microtubule-associated protein 7, potassium voltage-gated channel shaker-related subfamily member 1, RUN and FYVE domain containing 3, Sin3A-associated protein 18 kDa, proline-rich 4, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase ID, myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia translocated to 3, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5, nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X-type motif 9, NudC domain containing 3, imprinted in Prader-Willi syndrome, TAF6-like RNA polymerase II p300/CBP-associated factor 65 kDa, WD repeat and SOCS box-containing 2, adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factor 3, KRR1, proliferation-associated 2G4; CD36, complement component (3b/4b) receptor 1, solute carrier family 4 sodium bicarbonate cotransporter member 4, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), GATA binding protein 3, LPL, glutathione peroxidase 3, D: -aspartate oxidase, apolipoprotein E, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3A) were associated with poor clinical outcome in terms of development of metastatic or recurrent disease.
The classification of these tumors may undergo further changes in the future. Gene expression profiling can provide additional information to categorize pleomorphic sarcoma (NOS) and reveal potential prognostic factors in this "entity."

Sonny Curtis (born May 9, 1937) is an American singer and songwriter. Known for his collaborations with Buddy Holly, he was a member of the Crickets and continued with the band after Holly's death. Curtis's best known compositions include "Walk Right Back", a major hit in 1961 for the Everly Brothers; "I Fought the Law", notably covered by the Bobby Fuller Four and the Clash; and "Love is All Around," the theme song for The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Overview
Curtis was born in Meadow, Texas, United States. As a guitarist, he played on some of Buddy Holly's earlier 1956 Decca sessions, including the minor hit "Blue Days Black Nights" and a song he wrote, "Rock Around With Ollie Vee". In 1955 and 1956 he, along with Buddy Holly, opened concerts for rising new star Elvis Presley. Although he had gone on the road with other musicians by the time Buddy Holly put together the Crickets in 1957, Curtis joined the Crickets in late 1958, shortly before Holly's death in 1959, and soon took over the lead vocalist role in addition to lead guitar.  The Crickets' post-Holly recordings were put on hold after Holly's death, and Curtis was drafted in late 1959.  During basic training, he was given a three-day pass and met Crickets' drummer Jerry Allison, who was then playing with the Everly Brothers, in Los Angeles. Curtis played him the song "Walk Right Back", which Allison had him immediately take to the Everlys; they recorded the song that weekend and were later rewarded with a Billboard top 10 hit. The song was also a hit in 1978 for Anne Murray.

In late 1960, the Crickets' album In Style with the Crickets was finally released, including the original versions of two of Curtis's best known compositions, "I Fought the Law" and "More Than I Can Say" (co-written with Allison and a UK 4# hit by Bobby Vee and a US 2# hit by Leo Sayer). Along with Allison, he participated in Eddie Cochran's last recording sessions, including the song "Three Steps to Heaven." In 1964, he released the single "A Beatle I Want to Be". He has continued to record and perform intermittently as part of the band over six decades, most recently in their album The Crickets and their Buddies (2004), where they reprised most of their hits with help from many noted fellow musicians.  Curtis did leave the Crickets several times to pursue his solo career, but even during those periods made occasional guest appearances, in performance and on record, with the Crickets. His song "The Real Buddy Holly Story" was written in response to the inaccuracies in the movie The Buddy Holly Story.

"I Fought the Law" was later covered in the studio or in concert by many artists, including The Bobby Fuller Four, the Clash, Dead Kennedys, Bryan Adams, John Cougar Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Social Distortion, Mike Ness, Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils, Green Day, the Ramones, the Grateful Dead, Stray Cats, Mary's Danish, Mano Negra, the Big Dirty Band, Lolita No.18, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Attaque 77, Die Toten Hosen, Status Quo, Nanci Griffith, and the Men They Couldn't Hang. For the 2003 film, Intermission, Colin Farrell recorded a version of the song, singing it in the guise of his character in the film.

Later, Curtis wrote the theme song of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, "Love Is All Around", which he also recorded for the show. Curtis also co-wrote the 1989 Country Song of the Year, "I'm No Stranger to the Rain", recorded by Keith Whitley. Other songs he has written include "The Straight Life" (recorded by Glen Campbell, and later by Bobby Goldsboro) and "A Fool Never Learns" (recorded by Andy Williams). Anne Murray also recorded the Sonny Curtis songs "I Like Your Music" and "You Made My Life a Song" on her 1972 LP Annie.

In 1991, Sonny Curtis was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2007, Curtis was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, as a member of the Crickets. In 2012, Curtis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Crickets (along with Allison, bassist Joe B. Mauldin, and rhythm guitarist Niki Sullivan) by a special committee, to make amends for the Crickets having been rebuffed and not included with Buddy Holly when Holly was first inducted in 1986.

Talia Byre

Talia Byre tends to show her eponymous womenswear at the tail end of the men's shows in Europe. The collections in Milan and Paris mostly looked like piles of stuff, every model laden with accessories and collaborations and little tricks to generate buzz. Byre's work is so emotional and human and purposeful, showing it after such a consumerist display made her look miles better.
Byre is a designer's designer, who said over a video call that "fittings are her favorite thing." She tends to refit and re-assess her pieces every two days or so, dicing up pieces from past seasons to make new, provocative silhouettes. Spring 2022 is a meditation on color, each hue inspired by tones she stumbled on in a box of vintage thread and meticulously hand-crafted herself. Creamy bubblegum pink, pure tomato red, glum indigo, and dirty white come together in knit bodysuits, sweaters, and dresses that lap up the female body. She tries her pieces on herself, her sister Freya, and a fit model to make sure seams and cuts come in just right. After weeks of stuff all you can really say about Byre's work is: gorgeous.
It's also meaningful. Byre's grandparents owned the popular Liverpudlian store Lucinda Byre and remnants of their collections still exist in Byre's life. A pleated midi skirt—quickly becoming a signature for her young brand—is called the "Everlasting Skirt"; it's shape is inspired by a piece she inherited and loves. "Everything with me is ritual and heritage," she said, as she walked through each of her 17 looks. There's her own heritage, growing up in the North of England in a family connected to the sartorial spirit, and then there is the heritage of her clothes themselves, which are mostly made up of old clothes. Her clever upcycling innovation this season—aside from her ever-more-lush knits—is a leather skirt made of old trousers, cut to look like pants when standing still, but imbued with motion otherwise. The elegance and layering of dancers is another of Byre's references, as are the Stettheimer sisters and their artworks, though the beauty of her garments is that you don't need to know the why to fall in love.

Ultimate Guide to Take ETS Train from KL Sentral to Padang Besar
Planning and Booking ETS Train Tickets
I had always wanted to visit Thailand since I was young. Therefore, I had planned a trip to travel to Thailand during the holiday. After thoughtful consideration, I decided to take the train from KL Sentral to Padang Besar before taking the train from Padang Besar to Hat Yai, Thailand. My travel itinerary was as follows:
Going to Kuala Lumpur Sentral (KL Sentral)
Arrival in Padang Besar Train Station
Going to the pick-up point at Kuala Lumpur Sentral (KL Sentral)
Kuala Lumpur Sentral or KL Sentral is one the transportation hub located in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. One can easily reach KL Sentral via LRT, KTM Komuter, ETS train, KLIA Transit, RapidKL buses and many other modes of transportation. KL Sentral also serves the purpose as an exchange or transit point for most of the transportation available. As a result, KL Sentral is always crowded with people.
KTM Counters in KL Sentral
On that day, I went to KL Sentral with LRT. Once I reached there, I headed to the KTM Ticket Counter to confirm about my train ticket booking. You can easily find KTM counter on the 1st Floor. Alternatively, you can go to the 2nd Floor where you can find more KTM counter specifically for the ETS train service.
There were 4 KTM ticket counters on the 2nd Floor. Left side is to buy tickets for current departure and the right side is to buy tickets for future departure.
Please note that the train ticket price to return from Padang Besar to Kuala Lumpur is the same with the train ticket price from Kuala Lumpur to Padang Besar. The estimated duration of the trip from Kuala Lumpur to Padang Besar is 5 hours 30 minute, depending on the type of train you choose.
Taking a Meal Before Departure
During a boring waiting for the train to reach the station, you can fill up your stomach with some food first. There are many food selections in KL Sentral for you to choose. Popular fast food restaurants such as McDonald's, KFC and Burger King are available in the train station.
If you have more time before departure, you can go to the Nu Sentral shopping mall situated next to the KL Sentral for more choices of meals.
Gate C to Padang Besar
I looked around to see where I should go next. Then, I saw there were two different gates opened for different destinations. The KTM Komuter service is another train service operated by KTMB for intercity travels. Passengers for ETS train service need to follow and pass through Gate C next to the KTM Komuter entrance gate.
ETS Train from KL to Padang Besar
After showing the KTM ticket voucher paper to the staff that was guarding the gate, I went down to the departure platform. Usually, people will take the escalator to go down but if you need a lift, there is one lift on the left before the escalator.
After waiting for a while, the train came and passengers started to fill up the train and settled down to their seats. The seats in the ETS train were comfortable. The train was fully air-conditioned and there was also F&B Bar in coach C that sells food.
Tips: Consider having a sweater or blanket with you for the train journey because it might get cold after two hours being on the train.
After few hours, I finally reached my destination. The train from KL took me about 5 hours 30 minutes to reach Padang Besar. I sat comfortably and waited for the train to stop completely before I stepped out of the train to the arrival platform in Padang Besar.
Padang Besar Immigration Checkpoint
Actually, Padang Besar Malaysia Train Station is the Immigration Checkpoint for all the train commuters travelling between Malaysia and Thailand. There is no direct train from Malaysia to Thailand. All travellers need to alight from the train to clear the customs and immigration at the Padang Besar Train Station before taking another train heading to Thailand.
Both Malaysia Immigration and Thailand Immigration checkpoints were in the same building, which is at the Padang Besar train station. The distance between the two checkpoints was not far and passing the immigration point was easy.
Note : The immigration counter is only open from 6am to 10pm daily. There is another border checkpoint in Wang Kelian, Perlis, open from 7am to 7pm daily.
I got hungry after passing the immigration. Thus, I decided to take a break from the train journey and get something to eat in Padang Besar while visiting the town for a bit.
Outside Padang Besar Train Station
After I walked out from the train station, I saw many transportation options for travellers to proceed with their next journey. You can take a taxi, van or motorbike to your next destination. A motorbike ride to travel around Padang Besar sounds like a good and fun budget option and that was exactly what I did.
My next train trip after visiting Padang Besar was taking the train from Padang Besar to Hat Yai. I noticed that you could also travel to Hat Yai with a taxi or a van transfer service provided by travel agencies. Please note that taking train will cost you less compared to a taxi.
I had included many things to do and places to visit on my travel bucket list. The travel experience was so good. Therefore, I am ready to embark on a more little adventurous journey on my own in the future. So long, guys!
Padang Besar (Thailand) Train Tip
You can go to Padang Besar (Thai) Train Station from Padang Besar (Malaysia) Train Station by taking the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) at Padang Besar (Malaysia) Train Station.


Dean was supposed to be the "perfect first boyfriend," but really he was just... kind of awful. He was super possessive of Rory and always wanted to be her first priority, even over school. Um, hell no. Plus, he was kind of boring. He only got worse when he came back in season 5 and cheated on his wife... We're still bitter that Rory lost her virginity to him. Where's a time machine when you need it?? #teamJess forever.
He cheated on pretty much every girl he dated, AND he broke apart Naomi and Annie's friendship only to break Annie's heart a few episodes later. Good thing the show basically replaced him with Liam who proved to be a much better guy for Annie. *Sips tea*.
Zig started off as an awkward, yet adorable kid who just wanted to skateboard and play guitar. Then he came back for sophomore year and was suddenly a gang member and certified bad boy. Okay, it WAS kind of hot, but just not what anyone needed tbh. He was extremely jealous in his relationship with Maya to the point where he would flip out if she didn't answer his texts for like, an hour. Oh, and he cheated on her with her arch-nemesis and proceeded to lie about it for weeks afterwards. No, thank you! Please exit the premises.
Tony was gorgeous (hellooo, Nicholas Hoult! Or should we say, Nicholas HAWT), but he was a major jerk. He cheated on Michelle with a long-list of girls (not to mention his gay friend Maxxie) and was pretty emotionally abusive. Ain't nobody got time for that! He was sort of redeemed in season 2 after he suffered a traumatic brain injury, though.
Justin came from a rough home life and clearly was dealing with a lot of underlying issues, but that still doesn't excuse the way he treated both Hannah and Jessica. He started a pretty messed up rumor about Hannah and then later covered up for Bryce rather than telling Jessica the horrible truth about what happened that night at the party. Cute face or not, Justin has got to go.
Luke eventually became a pretty good friend to Ryan and Seth, but he was a seriously awful boyfriend to Marissa. He cheated on her with multiple girls (sensing a pattern here?), including her friend Holly. Oh, and then he later slept with Marissa's mom too. TBH, we still haven't forgiven Julie Cooper for that.
Let's be honest, none of the Upper Eastside guys were very good boyfriends. But Dan spent SO much time acting like he was above all the pettiness and backstabbing when he was, in fact, the biggest perpetuator of all the drama. That just really grinds our gears. We still don't understand why Serena would pick him over Nate freakin' Archibald.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are #relationshipgoals IRL, but their relationship in That 70s Show was so problematic. Kelso cheated on Jackie all. the. time. and expected her to forgive him just because he wrote her a dumb song or something. Even though Hyde was less than perfect (seriously, why did everyone on the show have to cheat?), he seemed to love and appreciate Jackie much more than Kelso ever did.
Blaine and Kurt were cute at first, but we got real tired of screaming at them whenever they were onscreen throughout the seasons. They fought constantly, and Blaine eventually cheated on Kurt while they were doing long-distance. Toxic relationship much?
Okay, everyone is on the same page with us here, right? Ross was adorable, but he was actually kind of the worst boyfriend ever. He didn't treat Rachel right (were they really on a break?!), yet he didn't want her to be happy with anyone else. What kind of man doesn't want the person they love to be happy?? Joey > Ross all day, everyday.
Need help finding a new boyfriend now that we've wiped away the movie romance haze? Check out our article Want to Make Someone Like You? Here's How in Only 5 Steps.

ZHUHAI, China--19 November 2010-- General Electric [NYSE: GE], the worlds premier technology and infrastructure company, announced a series of deals and investments with major players in the Chinese commercial aviation sector at the countrys biggest aviation exhibition held in Zhuhai this week.
CFM International, a 50/50 joint venture between GE and French company Snecma (Safran group), secured four deals for engines and services with a total value of $2.1 billion with three leading Chinese carriers, namely Air China, China Eastern Airlines and the HNA Group:
20 CFM56-5B engines from Air China, the countrys flagship carrier;
30 CFM56-5B engines from China Eastern Airlines, the countrys second-largest carrier by fleet size;
42 CFM56-5B engines to power new A320s under HNA Group, the countrys fourth-largest airline group, with delivery due to begin in 2012;
A long-term service agreement on maintenance of the CFM56-5B-powered HNA Group A320 fleet.
Both the Air China and China Eastern deals were first announced at the Farnborough Air Show, UK, earlier this year.
Also at the Zhuhai Air Show, Shanghai-based Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Limited (COMAC) received one hundred launch orders for their C919 aircraft, Chinas homegrown narrow-body passenger jet. As part of these orders, GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), which provides aircraft leasing and financing service globally, signed a letter of intent to purchase up to 10 of the C919 aircraft. The 150-seat C919, still under development, is expected to enter commercial service in 2016. CFM International has already signed up with COMAC as the sole foreign propulsion system supplier including engine.
COMAC also signed an agreement with AVIC International for 100 ARJ21-700 regional aircraft powered by GE's CF34-10A engine. The parties will jointly market and sell these regional jets internationally.
GE Aviation capped the eventful week in Zhuhai with a Memorandum of Understanding with HNA Group to form a joint venture in the coastal city of Tianjin to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for GEs CF34 engines.
John Rice, GE vice chairman and head of international operations, said: China is the fastest-growing aviation market in the world. These latest investments and agreements ensure GEs long-term participation in Chinas air transportation boom.
Mark Norbom, president & CEO of GE China, said: The agreements signed this week demonstrate our consistent, long-term commitment to our airline partners in China. The decision to add C919s to the GECAS fleet shows our confidence in the commercial prospects for the aircraft and strengthens the relationship with our Chinese partners in the aviation space.
GE (NYSE: GE) is a diversified infrastructure, finance and media company taking on the worlds toughest challenges. From aircraft engines and power generation to financial services, medical imaging, and television programming, GE operates in more than 100 countries and employs about 300,000 people worldwide.

I don't know what this pixdaus site is, but they give you embed codes for the pictures, so here's a nice cactus in bloom from Q T Luong.
I'm going to guess it's an echinocereus, but that red is very very red.


A new catalog (#59) has been released from EduCalc and it contains some new and interesting products for both the HP48SX and HP95LX. The one that many HP48 users had been waiting for is "Goodies" Disk #8, with over 240 new files of useful material and shareware and public domain programs. (I have a copy of Goodies Disk #8 and am making copies available at our meetings.) A new book called "An Easy Guide to the HP48" by Thomas Adams looks like a good starter for those just getting on board. Also, the disk-based HP16C Emulator library for the HP48 appears in the catalog for the first time. This is the project that Rick Grevelle and I have worked on over the past two years.
On the HP95 front, there are also a handful of new entries. ACE Technologies has introduced "DoubleFlash" flash memory plug-in cards, with sizes up to a whopping 20 megabytes. Several versions of Sparcom's "SmartDock" docking station(formerly called "Station 95") are now for sale, one with a standard serial port for connecting to a PC, one which adds Centronics parallel I/O for printers and still another which includes a send-only fax and modem. There are still rumors of another version with a built-in hard disk drive to be announced in the future. A company called Dataviz now sells a connectivity product to connect the HP95 to the Macintosh. In addition, some new HP95 software products appear for the first time: The Golfer's Edge - a golfer's on-the-course companion; Antibiotica PC - an infectious disease analytical software package; QC-Link/HP a quality control package; and Maclean Mailer - an automated MCI Mailer for the HP95 to name a few.
The much-touted 1.3-inch, 1-ounce, 21-megabyte hard disk drive from HP, dubbed Kittyhawk has just gotten a "bit brother" in the Kittyhawk II. It doubles the memory capacity without changing the size or weight. With over 40 meg of space plus the capacity to handle up to twice that using over-the-counter disk compression software, this version will probably handle some serious applications in the palmtop and handheld world. Supposedly, HP has a couple of dozen manufacturers signed up to incorporate the drives into their products. For us oldtimers who still have a calculator perspective,we can ponder all the uses of cramming 42 meg into a space the size of the HP41 card reader! Check out the articles later in this handout.
I recently received a new double-issue of the Handheld and Portable Computer Club's Datafile Newsletter, dated November-December 1992. This 60-plus page issue is full of programs and articles for several present and previous HP calculator models. This issue is the first that the HPCC group has released since the untimely death of their editor (and long-time member and enthusiast) Mark Cracknell. Another member has taken over the thankless job of newsletter production and it looks like they're back in the swing of things. There are nothing but fond memories of the trip to London last September to attend HPCC's Tenth Anniversary conference and we look forward to the conference that the Dutch group, PROMPT, is planning for 1994.
I recently received a call from Lew Thomas, longtime HP user and hardware developer. He has recently moved to the east coast and expressed interest in visiting our group on a Saturday afternoon to demonstrate his new HP95 products.Two of his recent developments have been an HP-IL interface device and also a "port doubler" for the HP95. A new project on Lew's drawing board is an adapter to allow PCMCIA version 2.0, type III devices to plug into the HP95 in place of the current version 1.0 cards. This would allow card-sized devices up to 10.5 millimeters thick to be attached. An example of a recently announced PCMCIA 2.0/type III device is maxtor's 1.8-inch, 105-meg hard drive in a plug-in card. AS soon as Lew's plans are firm, I shall make them known.
Before too long, it will be getting close to the upcoming Summer Consumer Electronics Show time at McCormick Place in Chicago on June 3rd through the 6th.The Chicago CHIP HP group has already planned their annual special users meeting for Friday evening June 4th, with Paul and Brenda Hubbert's annual CHIP picnic on the following Sunday. Perhaps there will be some new HP toys worth seeing by then.

Bennett unveils revamped aid program for tech industry
National technology innovation authority to offer loans, investments
By Yuval Azulai & Gali Weinreb
The Ministries of Finance and the Economy last week announced a reform in the Office of the Chief Scientist aimed at facilitating state support for entrepreneurship and innovation that will center around the establishment of a national authority for technological innovation with a wider range of tools for providing aid to companies and entrepreneurs.
"The reform constitutes a revolution that is taking place for the first time after 20 years of the Office of the Chief Scientist", said Minister of the Economy Naftali Bennet. "It will shorten processes and provide the right toolbox for enhancing Israeli innovation and bolstering economic growth. Together with the Angels Law, the reform will release a huge amount of energy into the Israeli high-tech market"
Bennett said "the tools now available to the Chief Scientist are like an old-fashioned dial phone in the iPhone 6 era," adding that as an ex-high tech CEO, he didn't use the tools then offered by the Chief Scientist because they weren't suitable for his company. "With the coming reform, the Office of the Chief Scientist will operate at a sector 20-25 years ahead into the future in Israel through its flexibility and the diverse and up-to-date facilities it offers."
the authority is slated to begin operating in 2016 as an operational arm of the Office of the Chief Scientist with Chief Scientist Avi Hasson serving as its chairman. The authority also will have a director general, while its board of directors will be composed of representatives of the Ministries of Finance and Economy and 3 representatives from industry.
Hasson, Bennett and Minister of Finance Yair Lapid have been promoting the reform for the past year because they believe the Office of the Chief Scientist's existing tools no longer are fulfilling the actual needs of companies and entrepreneurs engaged in innovation.
While current assistance is mainly in the form of support through grants, when the new authority begins operating, the state will be able to support innovative ventures, among other things, through equity investment, guarantees, and loans.
If, hypothetically, it is necessary to establish activity in genetic research, after the reform, the state will be able to invest $5 million to accompany a $25 million;n investment by a foreign investor. In the current situation, the government has no tools for supporting such a venture, because it will take the government 2 years to approve the program. We've got to be a lot quicker Bennett told "Globes."
Hasson said the new authority would be statutory and would be able to take action on industry's needs "quickly and effectively.""We've built a system of balances and brakes to preserve the governments goals with a wise, flexible and innovative policy according to standards adapted to the sophistication and innovativeness of the industry we are serving. The Israeli high-tech industry, with its impressive achievements over the past 20 years that have made Israel one of the world's leading centers of innovation, is in an alarming slowdown, and significant measures are therefore necessary to restart it."
The plan will be presented at the socioeconomic cabinet meeting next Sunday, after which it will be brought before the Knesset as part of the Economic Arrangements Bill submitted by the government.
Before the program can be implemented, a change in the current Research and Development Law also is necessary. the budget of the Office of the Chief Scientist currently totals almost NIS 1.5 billion.The authority itself will be budgeted by the state, and future royalties paid by companies that have received aid will go to the state.
At the same time, Bennett told "Globes" he was acting to increase the Chief Scientist's 2015 budget, adding that , as part of comprehensive staff work he had led with a team on the subject, he consulted leading high-tech figures in an attempt to identify the current gaps.
Several dozen Ministry of the Economy employees slated to work in the framework of the new authority object to the new program, however, as does the Manufacturers Association of Israel, which has expressed reservations about it on Sunday.
"We welcome any measure that will improve the way the government system works," said Manufacturers Association CEO Amir Hayek. "In this case, however, the proposal includes an injection of funds designated for industry into venture-capital funds whose goal is to maximize their profits in the short and medium term, and certainly not the development of advanced and sustainable industry in Israel. We'll get an innovation authority, but there's a major risk that it will contribute to innovation, but not in Israel."

Inside Llewyn Davis reviewed by Armond White for CityArts
When an apparition of Bob Dylan appears in Inside Llewyn Davis, it underscores the Coen Brothers' abiding ambivalence about their Jewishness. Dylan, the oracular pop-star-prophet -outsider from Minnesota (like the Coens) represents an advance on mainstream culture and power that troubles the Coen Brothers' fascination with American character.
Inside Llewyn Davis is the latest go-round for these clever lads' interest in the agonies of personal identity amidst a heartless society not entirely their own. Llewyn (Oscar Isaacs), a dark, curly-haired folksinger in 1961 New York City, is barely over the suicide of his singing partner. He's economically strapped, homeless, living off patronizing friends and virtually begging for a solo recording career while also booty-begging for understanding from a free-spirit Greenwich Village girl (Cary Crybaby Mulligan) he might have impregnated.
Knocking at the door of WASP-Americana–the 50s-60s folk-music craze–Llewyn is a modern Wandering Jew who, like Dylan, dare not speak his ethnicity (his name is a Welsh creation like Dylan's chosen's moniker). The Coens cutely symbolize Llewyn's rootlessness in his constant chasing after a friends' runaway Calico cat named Ulysses–more cuteness evoking the Homeric wandering of the Coens' O Brother Where Art Thou? While that 2001 film was a surprising rich excursion into country music culture and America's racial legacy, Inside Llewyn Davis offers no surprises. It's solemn but not funny.
The Coens' peripatetic imagination frequently dips into recurring obsessions (the film noir genre, pop music totems, literary antecedents and sharp political satire) finding rich veins of humor and feeling–as in their best movies The Man Who Wasn't There, The Ladykillers, The Big Lebowski and A Serious Man. But Inside Llewyn Davis is their first movie that feels wholly redundant.
This is a thornier problem than simply the Coens' self-pleasing sarcasm, their intellectual narcissism. They're not clever by half; it's second nature to these new era movie brats. But the self-pleasing self-indulgence may offer less meaning in itself than it does to them and their fans. That eye-wink title, Inside Llewyn Davis, refers to his non-selling solo debut album (he stashes a milk crate full of the vinyl discs at a friend's apartment) as well as a teasing exploration of his soul. Problem is, Llewyn's "soul" is shown without the insight into Jewish tradition (which made A Serious Man extraordinary) but as a series of beautifully-tooled, second-hand motifs.
Here, the Coens revisit the untrustworthy pop culture of Barton Fink and the Jewish paranoia of A Serious Man. Combined, they question the ethics of American pop culture and the neediness of Jewish artists. Been there, atoned for that.
Working with talented cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel (who shot Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow and Aleksander Sokurov's bizarre, redundant Faust), the Coens lose the sharp, emotional evocation of regular collaborator Roger Deakins, who gave vision to Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners, for a more obvious illustration of existential mystery. This film looks good: Dark and shadowy with pale, hazy light–moody road scenes of Llewyn driving through blurred visibility and traffic bumps.
But sharpness matters; it proves perception and insight. Delbonnel proves the Coens are coasting. Satire on haimish Jewish camaraderie may be affectionate and recognizable (a colleague's wife tells Llewyn "I thought singing was a joyous expression of the soul") yet this doesn't go beyond Paul Mazursky's Next Stop Greenwich Village (1976) which piercingly captured the Jewish New Yorker's response to sex, hip, Hollywood, pop and Americana. Instead, The Coens go "smart." Llewyn meets John Goodman as a Burl Ives-folk icon on two canes with a heroin addiction and his dour, sexually ambiguous chauffeur (Garrett Hedlund of last year's fine but neglected On the Road adaptation) plus a sneaky bookshelf nod to Nabokov's Pale Fire.
Fans and critics who are familiar with the Coens will overrate these details. Problem is, Inside Llewyn Davis (with its lament "Where is its scrotum?!!" and jokey references to Disney's The Incredible Journey) question Jewish alienation superficially. HBO's Flight of the Conchords was a more trenchant display of outsiders' music biz alienation. But Oscar Isaac's Llewyn, with his Hoffman-Pacino whine, seems disconnected from his own singing and lacks the great feeling he showed in his role as the remorseful pop star in the high school reunion film Ten Years.
Critics who cluelessly praise T-Bone Burnett's musical production ignore Burnett's drab musicianship. The musical banality of Inside Llewyn Davis is its greatest problem–impersonal, apolitical folk music. Llewyn, a modern version of Saul Bellow's Dangling Man–searching for his place in society and the universe, dangling between expectation and reality–really is less talented than Llewyn's deeply envied WASP competitor GI Troy Nelson (Stark Sands) who has the unfathomable gift of connecting to listeners.
Inside Llewyn Davis doesn't connect. The Coens are facetious about Llewyn's personal crisis. That's why the movie ends the same way as Philip Kaufman's The Wanderers with Dylan revolutionizing Jews' and the world's selfconsciousness. The slick, talented Coens may please fans who are already familiar with their habits but, sadly, for gifted, witty film artists, the Coens' Inside Llewyn Davis says nothing new.

 Łodyga Prosto wzniesiona, mięsista łodyga miewa do 4 mm grubości. Pod ziemią roślina ma krótkie, grube i poziomo leżące lub skośnie podnoszące się kłącze, które nie tworzy rozłogów.
 Liście Wszystkie liście są odziomkowe, wąskoliniowate do półcylindrycznie rynienkowatych, trawiaste, mięsiste, do 4 mm grubości, u nasady rozszerzone.
 Kwiaty Małe zielonkawe kwiaty są obupłciowe i zebrane w gęste, wielokwiatowe, szczytowe grona. Szypułki kwiatowe do 4 mm długości, krótsze od owocu. Działek kwiatu jest sześć – ustawionych w obu okółkach; ku górze działki stają się lekko czerwonawe. Pręcików sześć.
 Owoc Podłużne owocolistki w liczbie sześciu z sześcioma małymi znamionami są jednonasienne; rozpadają się na sześć owoców częściowych. Owocki wzniesione, podłużnie jajowate, do 6 mm długości, u nasady zaokrąglone, a na szczycie nieco ściśnięte.

Biologia i ekologia
Bylina, geofit. Kwitnie od maja do sierpnia. Występuje na rozproszonych stanowiskach, ale gromadnie na słonych łąkach i na wybrzeżu. Pojedynczo w głębi kraju. Gatunek charakterystyczny zespołu Triglochino-Glaucetum maritimae. Liczba chromosomów 2n = 12, 24, 28, 36, 48, 80, 120.

Zagrożenia i ochrona
Roślina umieszczona na Czerwonej liście roślin i grzybów Polski (2006) w grupie gatunków wymierających na izolowanych stanowiskach, poza głównym obszarem występowania (kategoria zagrożenia: [E]). W wydaniu z 2016 roku otrzymała kategorię VU (narażony).
Od 2014 roku jest objęta w Polsce ochroną częściową.

Zastosowanie
 Roślina jadalna
Świbka morska jest jadalna. Młode liście zbiera się przed kwitnieniem, ich smak jest mdłosłony, ale po ugotowaniu znika swoisty zapach. Jest jarzyną podobną w smaku do szpinaku. Wykorzystywane mogą być również owoce: Indianie Ameryki Północnej spożywają je prażone.
 Roślina użytkowa
Z powodu zawartego w owocach węglanu sodu w południowej Europie używano tej rośliny do pozyskiwania sody.

Patrick John Burke (born December 14, 1973) is an Irish former professional basketball player. Burke (whose family moved from Tullamore, Ireland, to Cleveland, Ohio, when he was three years old) competed in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and also played in Europe, ending his career with the Polish club Asseco Prokom Sopot.  He was a co-captain of the senior Irish national basketball team and also represented his country at the World University Games.

Early life
Burke played high school basketball at Mariner High School in Cape Coral, Florida. He played college basketball at Auburn University with the Auburn Tigers from 1993 to 1997.

Professional career

NBA
After not being drafted out of Auburn University in 1997, Burke became the first Irish-born player in NBA history when he signed a contract with the Orlando Magic in 2002. He played in 62 games with them, averaging 4.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. He did not play in the NBA during the 2003–04 NBA season, or the 2004–05 NBA season. In his return to the NBA, he played for the Phoenix Suns for two seasons. He was also in training camp with the Golden State Warriors in 2007 before being released.

Europe
Burke was a EuroLeague champion with Panathinaikos in the 1999–00 season and he also helped the "Greens" to win three consecutive Greek League titles from 1999 to 2001. In Europe, he also played with the Spanish clubs Tau Ceramica, Gran Canaria and Real Madrid, and with Maroussi in Greece. He helped Real to the final of the ULEB Cup (now called EuroCup) in 2004 and to the Spanish League title in 2005.

In November 2007, Burke signed with Russian club Khimki and helped the team win their first Russian Cup title. Burke averaged 8.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in 211 career games played over all of the different European leagues that he competed in. In 2008, he moved to the Polish club Asseco Prokom Sopot and he helped the team to win the league's title.

types of insurance, such as property and casualty, life, health, disability, and long-term care. Think about your strengths and interests: What could you do forever? The Department of Labor reports that there were 436,000 insurance sales agents in 2006 and that approximately 50 of them were independent agents or worked for brokerages.

Write your business plan. The growing use of the Internet in the insurance industry has altered the relationship between agent and client. As a result, many insurance agents are involved in "cross-selling" or "total account development". The new parent segment are also either homeowners or renters, generally.

Nobody's perfect. If we limited our interactions to people who were, then we wouldn't have many interactions at all. Business is different though. When you work with someone, you're taking a risk on them. You want their background to be as clear as possible—but sometimes it isn't. When you do uncover something in their history, you might be a bit torn about it. Past behavior might be an indicator of future behavior, but only that—an indicator. It isn't a guarantee. You don't want to turn down an ideal business connection over something that might be an anomaly.
Finding red flags is easy if you have the right technology. It's determining their value that's hard, especially when you're dealing with the heavily regulated financial industry. While some red flags are obvious issues that can't be ignored, others may be false flags. Technology can help you know when to look deeper and when to ignore those false flags.
Direct involvement in prior SEC investigations for companies they've worked with – Many companies may be investigated by the SEC, but if your candidate comes up as a named entity in that investigation, it should be a cause for concern.
Prior censures or actions on their licenses – Someone who holds a professional license in a financial or legal capacity is expected to adhere to codes of ethics. In some cases, ethical violations will get that individual censured while still allowing them to practice. That means they may have a valid license, but a shadowy past.
Individual actions under the FCPA – The FCPA has provisions to keep companies from engaging in graft and bribery, and provisions for individuals. A person who has been directly fined under those provisions for individuals is high risk, as they're considered a direct cause of the violation.
Falsified or "bloated" credentials – Some credentials are standard and required, like a Series 7 License. Others are optional and show a higher level of expertise in a specific entity. Both types should be easy to verify through the specific issuing entity. If they can't be verified, that should be a cause for concern.
Material misrepresentation – Some prior law enforcement interactions might be forgotten, but others can't. If someone claims they have no criminal history, and the record shows a speeding ticket, that's not a material misrepresentation. It's far more likely they either forgot about it or didn't think it applied. However, if they have felony convictions, it's hard to claim they "forgot" or didn't think they were relevant to the investigation. It's much more likely they were intentionally trying to conceal the crime.
Being a named party in a lawsuit – Companies are sued all the time. Anyone who owns a business knows that. However, lawsuits rarely name a specific employee unless that employee was directly involved and is considered egregiously negligent. For example, say an insurance company's policyholder sues their insurance company under bad faith provisions for claims delay. Their insurance company and the board of directors may be named because they are fiduciaries and are directly involved. The claims adjuster who managed the claim, on the other hand, won't be named unless their own negligence rose to an egregious level.
While these are all pretty good indicators of trouble, they aren't foolproof. After all, lawsuits settle out of court, FCPA actions are closed without findings all the time, and even a license censure can be a one-time event never to be repeated. These red flags aren't a sign that you need to end a business relationship. They're just a sign that you need to vet it a bit deeper.
This is something which can be accomplished via Remote Risk Assessment. RRA is a process that works by analyzing biometric indicators in the human voice to assess for risk. The analysis is done via calling in to a brief, automated remote interview at a call center in order to minimize human bias in the process.
Say an individual's background check showed they were involved in an FCPA investigation. The person investigating them could have them submit a written statement, explaining their role in the events that are the subject of that investigation. This gives the investigator a jumping off point for creating the questions for an RRA interview.
Then, say the individual responded that they never were directly involved but had been following company procedure at the time. In this case, the investigator could set up an interview that would address questions like "Did you intentionally violate any law or other legal restrictions while conducting business with X?" The interviewee would then answer "yes" or "no," and the system would measure that response to determine its level of risk deception. Essentially, it allows you to verify someone's ethics even when they've made mistakes in the past.
AC Global Risk developed this technology to answer the ever-increasing need for deep vetting both in the private and public sectors. Our proprietary technology helps individuals verify everything from immigration questionnaires to pre-employment interviews. For more information on using RRA, contact us today.
