Marathon Baba by Girish Kohli
It may not sound the name of a novel but that of a spoof on a reigning religious guru or a boring philosophical novel but little did I know that what was in store for me was something this funny and interesting. Yes! Marathon Baba written by first time writer Girish Kohli sweeps you away from your boring lives and takes you to the fictional world of Karna, a simple man, who lives in the City of Slums, and runs away from his home and life only to achieve a demi-God status some day and be called Marathon Baba.
The back cover of the book does not really say anything about the story or the plot of the book but it gives you a map of the world that Karna lives in. I must admit the map looks a little like the Map of Middle Earth in Lord of the Rings, but nevertheless, this is a book that, after reading cover to cover, I am willing to forgive for anything wrong under the sun. Girish Kohli is not an IIT-IIM graduate, I don't even know if he ever went to school or not, but someone who can write a debut novel that is this pleasing, I'd say, kudos to you!
Marathon Baba is the story of a guy named Karna who lives in a fictional land, which you can easily mistake for an India like country. Karna grows up in an environment where his parents keep quarreling, which he calls a battlefield. Heartbroken after being dumped by the love of his life and bored of a stereotypical IT job, Karna runs away at the age of 23 to face life. Leaving all his money and worldly pleasures behind, he embarks on a journey towards the mountains in order to find himself. He travels from fictional city to fictional city having free meals at temples and gurudwaras and having sex with tramps. He becomes a traveler by the day and a compulsive insomniac, who runs all through the night, as he is haunted by the drams of his ex girlfriend. Running becomes a part of his life and on one such running outing, his skin mysteriously turns red. He runs day and night and chances upon a pair of running shoes that are worn by a skeleton floating in a river.
The shoes not only become his running fleet, but also lead him to a treasure, the returns of which help him and his new accomplice Java, a junkie, gay drummer to build the Marathon Ashram at the banks of a holy river. The Marathon Ashram promises to give free refuge to anyone who has been running away from his life. Other than Karna and Java, the first person they accept as a member to the ashram is Karsihma, a sultry beauty who has mysterious healing powers and has run away from her life after her mother's demise. Karna fondly calls her Ma and she changes the face of the Ashram. Soon, Karna gets a brigade of 33 deadly disciples, one of which is a movie Superstar Suryakant after whose inculcation the media garlands him with the name of the Marathon Baba and he soon achieves a cult following across the masses.
The story takes a bitter turn when a beggar and ex-businessman claims his ownership of the shoes that led him to the treasure that helped Karna build the Ashram. He threatens to kill Karna and to expose his deep dark secret to the whole world. What is the secret and what happens later, that I'll leave for you to find out!
Never have I read a novel by an Indian author that has succeeded in putting a smile on my face all through the 255 pages that it runs through. Girish Kohli has arguably written the most stylish novel and I must say that if you want to take a lesson in creative writing, it is this, it is this, it is this!! The style of writing is so fresh that you are hooked onto the book due to the immense pleasure of reading it and a different concept and a an amazing idea never hurts.
The language of the book is simple and laid-back and the whole story kind of flows effortlessly like the fictional river Gathaji in its story. Girish manages to make the reader visualize every word that he has written and his humor just percolates into the protagonist too. Though the Marathon Baba is not supposed to be a spiritual guru, yet his one liners are humorously philosophical. The whole story revolves around just one character and that has been written and handled really well. The style and humor more than make up for any shortcomings that maybe in the story. The content is supported by little footnotes by the author himself and the mention of his own name within the dialog makes sure you take it as a piece of fiction.
Frankly Speaking, Marathon Baba is one of the best works of fiction by an Indian writer. The climax is edgy and all in all I would say that an Indian novel minus a love a story is just what could have restored my faith in the writers here.
My Rating: 4/5 and a double thumbs up for first time writer Girish Kohli. You made me enjoy this one, I'm definitely gonna buy the next one too!

Is Justin Timberlake Rebounding with an Olsen Twin?
June 03, 2011 | by: Jaclyn Hendricks
Rumored New Summer Fling of Ashley Olsen and Justin Timberlake
Well I certainly didn't see this pair coming. It looks like former boybander turned movie star Justin Timberlake has found himself a new leading lady. After splitting with his longtime love Jessica Biel in March, Timberlake has been linked to numerous Hollywood starlets, which include a pair of Olivias, as well as his Friends with Benefits co-star Mila Kunis. However, it seems the hunky 30-year-old has made a play for billionaire and fashionista, Ashley Olsen.
The recently single Olsen sister, who split with The Hangover Part 2′s Justin Bartha earlier this year, has been spotted out and about with the A-list singer and screen stud in New York City, from a polo match to a Saturday Night Live after party, according to media reports. But is this fresh coupling getting serious this soon?
"They are hooking up," said an insider to UsWeekly, who broke the story on June 1. "They are really trying to keep it on the down low."
Although both Timberlake and Olsen have been linked to long-term relationships in the past, are these two just having fun with a potential summer fling or heading toward the real thing?
According to sources at UsWeekly, Olsen is "aware of Justin's reputation with women, but…They're in the same head space." However, when touching base with both camps, Timberlake's reps were eager to put the rumors to rest of his supposed romance with the former Full House star.
"They are friends," said Timberlake's rep, "they are not romantically involved."
Yet, with this summer just starting to heat up, anything is possible, and I'll be sure to keep this potential pair on my romance radar.

Above and Beyond: A Colorful and Expansive Soho Space With Rare Views
By Morgan Halberg • 01/15/16 11:58am
We mercifully made it in time to catch the view. (Michael Weinstein)
"I'm so glad we're here while there is still some light!" Stribling broker Sean Turner exclaimed as she ushered us through the living room of an eighth-floor condo at One Vandam, opening a sliding-glass door that revealed a covered, west-facing terrace on a bitterly cold January afternoon. (Mercifully, though, the arctic blast below seemed somehow muted at altitude.)
We had barely reentered the 2,221-square-foot apartment (one of 25 units spread over 14 floors) before Ms. Turner promptly whisked us into the kitchen, which can be either opened up to the rest of the apartment or, if one prefers to remain mysterious while cooking, can opt to close—through which we arrived at a smaller terrace. "This is a view over Soho—since it's a historic district, it's very rare to see in this [southerly] direction with unencumbered views," she noted.
After taking in the views provided by the apartment, currently listed for $6.2 million, we headed into the lavender-accented master bedroom, which, while colorful, took a backseat to the coziness of the dressing room and en-suite bath, with its radiant-heat marble floors.
A tad beige. (Michael Weinstein)
The other two bedrooms, each also with en-suite baths, were done in the generally neutral tones of taupe and beige, with a few strategically placed pops of blue and green. "The powder room is where you can have more fun," Ms. Turner opined, "fun" apparently defined as emerald-green tiled walls and a large marble slab sink. "This is very special," she said, pointing at the round, leather-outlined mirror. "It's a Jacques Adnet Circulaire original."
"This is a building I've worked on from the very beginning," Ms. Turner informed us, gazing up at the 10-foot ceilings and walls that were nearly entirely, and not so subtly, adorned with various pieces of art. "We immediately thought, well, Soho—the people that love to live here, they love to shop, they love fine things, they love to go out a lot…and they love artwork."

A small order from an African airline can't diminish the huge challenge Comac faces to disrupt the aviation duopoly.
A Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China Ltd. (Comac) C919 aircraft taxis after landing at the Pudong International Airport in Shanghai, China, in May 5.
It's generally seen as a good thing for an aircraft manufacturer when an airline plans to buy its planes. So Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China Ltd.—the country's would-be challenger to Boeing Co. and Airbus SE—should have a lot to celebrate.
Not so fast. Such a small order—from an airline part-owned by China's debt-ridden HNA Group Co., no less—is hardly a ringing endorsement for a plane that's been in development for the best part of two decades. Moreover, the travails of the 737 Max demonstrate just how challenging developing new aircraft is in the 21st century, let alone for a newcomer like Comac.
Without that piece of paper, aircraft are excluded from swaths of the world's aviation market. That's both a near-term problem—removing flexibility for global airlines in how they deploy their fleet—and a long-term one, killing off the bulk of the secondary market that carriers depend on for selling their worn-out aircraft.
Comac first lodged an application for its would-be 737- and A320-killer, the C919, with the European regulator in 2016, so the best it could hope for would be to see approval some time in 2021. In the case of the ARJ21s being sent to Ghana, the process of winning certification from major regulators proved so challenging that Comac ultimately gave up. When the Republic of Congo—not exactly a major aviation market—became the first foreign country to award a type certificate two years ago, the manufacturer regarded it as enough of a milestone to put out a press release celebrating the fact.
If everything goes to plan, it's possible to see the C919 getting its paperwork in order before the start of 2022—but at this rate, a date closer to 2025 would hardly be surprising. At current targeted production rates of around 60 a month for the A320neo and 737 Max, there will already be little shy of 10,000 competing Airbus and Boeing planes in the air by that time, and Boeing's planned new midsize aircraft could be nearing its first deliveries.
*One should be enough, as the agencies validate each other's approvals as a more-or-less routine step.


How to set transparency with hex value ?
For example, you want to set 40% alpha transparence to #000000 (black color), you need to add 66 like this #66000000.
About the "transparency with hex value". I may have it wrong but shouldn't the alpha code be last in the color?
@Lizelight71 and @sogen, the correct format is actually #rrggbbaa; I've tested this, and #aarrggbb does not work. (So the above would indeed need to be #00ff001C).
@meatnordrink, I don't think that's correct. For me, #FF000000 is the color black, whereas #000000FF is transparent. This tells me that the order of the values looks like this #AARRGGBB.
I've just tried this in chrome and it wouldn't show the color at all with AA value at the start, it worked with it at the end. With that in mind I think people might be mixing up the usages of their examples.
style="background-color: #a4f9ef7F" where 7F is the transparency. Trying it with 7F at the start didn't work for me. It seems this is translated by the browser into: background-color: rgba(121, 210, 209, 0.498);.
Android uses #AARRGGBB (see doc as pointed out by @gkaffka).
Web browsers uses #RRGGBBAA (see https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-rrggbbaa for browser support).
Gidhi naa life ae marchesindi!
Is there a way to detect if user is on android or browser? Or is this specifically saying it is backwards if it is an android app? Like if they're on android in a chrome browser itd be cool, but if dev'ing an app for android you use backward?

Ron Rege Jr. creates his own visual poetry that sets him apart from other cartoonists as one of the most original artists to enter the medium in the past decade. His storytelling is neither linear nor altogether accessible, however, his recognizable thin line and cute characters draw you into a dreamlike, sensitive, fantasy world that, as odd as it seems, is entirely realistic.
"Ron Rege is one of a handful of cartoonists in the history of the medium to not only reinvent comics to suit his own idiosyncratic impulses and inspirations as an artist, but to also imbue it with his own peculiar, ever-changing emotional energy. To me, he is unquestionably one of "the greats."
"Reducing the world to an arcane iconography of shapes, Skibber Bee~Bye creator Rege has developed an odd, childlike language of drawing that verges on pictorial calligraphy."


Wouldn't you know it... the one panel that was actually on-time, was the one panel I was late to. I got there 5 minutes after 10am, so missed most of David's introduction.
This started becomming a habit for me, as each one I was early for started late, and each one I was late to, started on-time. So if you ever plan to be at a BotCon while I'm there, make sure I'm late to the panels if you want them to start on time.
David was also talking about his role as Beast Wars Depth Charge as well, while Steve Blum was in the audience heckling the pair with the voice of TFPrime Starscream.
Not sure why Steve Blum wasn't up on stage for this panel as well, since he was also a TFPrime Voice Actor.
The last bit of David's bio that I caught - had voiced a Klingon in Star Trek Into Darkness, and played the Gorn in the Enterprise flashback of the classic Original Series episode.
James' bio - spent 19 years in the industry, with a mostly Theatre background. Did some Soap roles, then 5 roles in Star Trek, and the Highlander series. Then recently got into Voice Acting, with Starship Troopers first, and Transformers Prime is the second Animated/Voice role.
That was about it, before the Q & A.
Commented on Frank Welker being a non-stop comedian at recording sessions.
James - had no idea of the Gen1 version, so just thought the character should sound tough and cocky, a bit like Clint Eastwood.
David - believes that it is best to ignore anything previous, so as to create something unique & original. Said his audition was phoned in at 1am from his home studio "half clothed".
Had high regard for Sue Blu as a Voice Director.
David - similar to Scott McNeil, he was told on the day of recording his final lines that Depth Charge would die.
They each now have toys of their characters - you can see some of David's newest ones in the photos at this panel.
James - the Movie was recasting the voice of Megatron in the second one (or third one), and he was one who was invited to audition (maybe as a back-up for Hugo Weaving). Obviously it wasn't required.
David - voiced the character Brawl in the first Movie game, and auditioned for the role of Megatron on the DS game.
James - game voices and some commercials.
David - a voice role in the 2014 Marvel Universe movie "Galactic Guardians".

Who did Jokowi handpick to be his 2019 running mate?
@AzimIdrisHybrid

INDONESIAN President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo on Thursday announced the selection of a prominent Islamist cleric and nonpolitical party figure Ma'ruf Amin as his vice-presidential candidate, as he looks to bolster his Islamic image and secure another term in office.
Jokowi's selection of 75-year-old Ma'ruf comes at a time when the Muslim-majority country is experiencing the decline of its pluralistic brand of Islam and the rise of religious fundamentalism promulgated by influential far-right groups.
With Ma'ruf fielded as running-mate, the moderate Jokowi will be facing off with former general Prabowo Subianto and the deputy governor of Jakarta, Sandiaga Uno. Both of Jokowi's opponents are nationalists with deep ties to the business and military elite, as well as popular ultraconservative religious groups like the Islamic Defenders Front (IDF).
SEE ALSO: Prabowo enters Indonesia's 2019 election race after months of indecision
Widodo's selection came as a surprise to many. Hours before the announcement, former chief justice Mahfud MD touted himself as the Widodo's vice-presidential candidate.
So who is Ma'ruf?
Born in Tangerang on March 11, 1943, Ma'ruf came from a fairly modest background, starting his career as a teacher in the North Jakarta districts in 1964, before rising up the ranks to become one of the most revered and influential religious figures in the country.
"Maybe there are questions from the people all over Indonesia why Professor Dr. Ma'ruf Amin was chosen. Because he is a wise religious figure," Widodo said, as quoted by Reuters.
"I think we complete each other, nationalistic and religious."

Source: Reuters
According to the Jakarta Post, Ma'ruf currently chairs the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Indonesia's highest Muslim clerical body that oversees all registered Muslim organisations such as the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah and the Islamic Union (Persis). As a central authority, the council issues fatwas and plays an advisory role in issuing halal certificates.
Last year, Ma'ruf received an honorary degree as a professor in sharia economy from Maulana Malik Ibrahim Islamic State University of Malang in East Java.
Ma'ruf's selection is not without controversy. Last year, the cleric was a key expert witness in the blasphemy trial that sent Chinese Christian former Jakarta governor and staunch Widodo ally, Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama, to prison for two years. As MUI chairman, Ma'ruf signed a document to suggest that Ahok had made a blasphemous statement when quoting a Quranic verse during a speech in 2016.
SEE ALSO: Under Jokowi, conservative groups start to condemn terrorism
The MUI was also pivotal to several controversial regulations including the country's anti-Pornography law, which has to date blocked out 70,000 "negative" websites, and the 2013 decree banning the Ahmadiyah Muslim religious sect.
In December last year, Ma'ruf said he regretted the Constitutional Court's decision to reject a petition to criminalise gay sex, calling for a "stern prohibition" of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender activities.
Human Rights Watch researcher, Andreas Harsono, said Ma'ruf as head of the MUI, had overseen a rise in religious intolerance across Indonesia.
"He issued fatwas condemning religious and gender minorities like the Ahmadiyah and LGBT individuals at a time they were subject to violent assaults," he told Reuters.
Political analyst Arya Fernandes, of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, told The Straits Times that Jokowi's fielding of Ma'ruf shows the president's willingness to compromise and accommodate interests of various political parties.
But even when Jokowi has his Islamic bases covered, the analyst says Jokowi faces another challenge of youth voters interested in Ma'ruf's opponent, Sandiaga, who is a younger candidate.

Perfecting the pour
By Li Yingxue
Monday, May 20, 2019, 12:29 By Li Yingxue
For Du Jianing, becoming a champion barista boils down to dedication and teamwork
Du Jianing brews four cups of Ninety Plus Gesha Estate coffee at the final round of the Boston World Coffee Championships on April 14. (DIANNE WANG / CHINA DAILY)
'Welcome, my dear customers. This is a picture of my coffee shop. In this beautiful place, we present the most exotic coffee in the world to coffee lovers in China.
"As a barista, I brew coffee and share the flavors and stories behind them. This is why I love coffee, because it is all about sharing," said Du Jianing, in her prologue to the final round of the Boston World Coffee Championships on April 14.
Over the next 10 minutes, she made four cups of Ninety Plus Gesha Estate coffee for herself and the three judges sitting in front of her. They watched her present her coffee-making skills with her narration, and enjoyed the coffee with her as if they were sitting in her own coffee shop — Uni-Uni Roasters and Bakery in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.
Representing China, this final presentation helped Du win the title of 2019 World Brewers Cup Champion — her first win in three World Brewers Cup appearances, after finishing 15th in Ireland in 2016 and eighth in Brazil in 2018 — making her the first Chinese winner of the event.
The World Brewers Cup competition highlights the craft of filter coffee brewing by hand, promoting manual coffee brewing and service excellence. Around 40 competitors, all national champions in their home countries, joined the two-round competition, with just six making it through to the finals.
Before the presentation, Du ground her coffee beans twice — first crushing them loosely into large lumps before grinding them into fine particles. The first grind makes the coffee evenly distributed and removes the silver skin covered pieces, while the second grind brings out clearer flavors.
She chose a different style of dripper from most of the other baristas, so she could use thinner filter paper to gain a more even extraction, while the large opening at the bottom helped achieve clearer layers of flavor.
The brewing was the most exciting part to watch, since Du was the only competitor using both hands to pour the water while altering the speed that she decanted the liquid.
"There will be four stages of brewing. During the first stage, I will pour 60 grams of water at the speed of 6 grams per second for 10 seconds... and for the second stage, I choose to pour 80g of water and adjust the pouring speed to 4g per second for 20 seconds," said Du.
As she poured, Du showed the weight of the dripper on an iPad screen next to her, which was a risky move if she made any mistakes, as the judges could monitor the exact time, temperature, and flow rate readings in real time for each brew.
Her steady hands ensured that the pouring perfectly matched her description.

According to her mentor Zhang Yinzhe, Du spent a year practicing pouring the water accurately using two hands so that she could manage to make four cups of coffee and drink them together with the three judges within the space of 10 minutes.
"Most competitors would use the 10 minutes just to make the coffee and describe the flavors, and the judges would have to drink them after that. But Du decided to curtail her preparation time so that the judges could drink along with her as she explained the flavors," said Zhang.
Du's recipe for the finals of the competition was 16g of coffee, 240g of water, to brew 190g of beverage at a temperature of 94 C with a total extraction time of 1 minute 40 seconds.
"Now it's the most important part: Let's enjoy the coffee together," said Du, who recalled this as the key moment of her presentation — savoring the coffee.
She asked the judges to enjoy the aroma before pouring the coffee into the cup.
"Please swirl the vessel gently a few times. You will find yourself immersed in delicate, velvety floral aromas before being overwhelmed by apricot and cocoa notes, followed by the nice sweet taste of cream," Du said to the judges.
Unlike other competitors, Du simply introduced the coffee flavors using just a few words, the same way she briefly explained her brewing process.
Zhang explained that this simplified description allowed the judges more time to concentrate on the coffee.
"In the previous competition, Du would explain as much as she could, but we realized that it was actually a burden on the listeners, so we decided that less is more," said Zhang.
The judges drank the coffee with Du three times as the temperature cooled, to sample the different flavors released by the coffee.
"What I love most about this coffee is the acidity! It is sweet like grapes, from a purple grape changing to a green grape, with medium intensity — it's vibrant and lively," said Du, explaining that the balance of the coffee, its complex flavors, delightful acidity and structured body in the mouth "was like a cello concert".
The final results were announced from the sixth runner-up to the winner, so when the second place was revealed and Du's name still had not been called, her whole team started to cheer.
"I felt blank at that time. I couldn't breathe or even hear my team celebrating," Du recalled.
The 27-year-old Beijing barista started her coffee career nine years ago, and her competition route took off in 2015 after she was invited to work for Zhang's newly opened cafe in Nanjing.
"She is timid but eager to learn new things, and even though she is nervous before each competition, once she is on the stage, she really shines," said Zhang.
Du took third place at the China Barista Championship in 2015 and the following year became the national champion at the China's Brewers Cup, gaining the only spot that allowed her to compete on the world stage.
But she realized there was a gap between her and other top baristas in the World Brewers Cup in 2016 and decided to take a year off and be the assistant to her fellow teammates and allow them to compete.
In 2018, Du was back in the game. She made national champion again and was ranked eighth in the world. She was two places away from the final. One month later, she started to compete in the national competition again to earn her spot in Boston.
She stopped eating carbohydrates weeks before the competition to stay clear headed for her practice sessions, and also spat the coffee after tasting during evening practices so she could be well rested for the next day's training.
"I've practiced the whole presentation for the final 300 times, and I know exactly what move I'm going to make when I speak a certain sentence," said Du.
Rather than focusing on winning the competition, Du said she focused on presenting her best skills as a barista.
"I knew I was in better condition than my previous competitions, because before I couldn't bear any changes to my brewing routine or my presentation, but this time I was still discussing things with my team and changing certain phrases the night before the final," said Du.
After winning the world champion title, Du was invited to join many coffee events around China. But after nearly five years' competition she feels she has completed a stage in her life. "The next step will definitely be related to coffee, but I need some time to figure out what it will be."

What the EU's "Lawful" AI Focus Tells Us about the Future of Regulation
Reading the EU's AI Ethics guidance tea leaves to assess the future of AI regulations in Europe
by Kate Kaye
The winds of regulatory oversight for artificial intelligence are blowing in the U.S. and Europe. The European Commission signed off on its Ethical Guidelines for Trustworthy AI earlier this month, the culmination of several months of deliberations by a select group of "high-level experts" plucked from industry, academia, research and government circles. In the advisory realm, the EU guidance joins forthcoming draft guidance on AI from a global body, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Meanwhile, U.S. federal lawmakers want something on the books. A new bill proposed by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. Yvette D. Clarke, D-N.Y., would require large corporations to subject their algorithmic systems to automated decision system and data protection impact assessments. And, in February, U.S. representatives proposed their own guidelines for ethical AI in a House Resolution.
The EU guidelines emphasize "lawful" AI, which seems to be an important distinction from an earlier draft. Why? For IAPP's Privacy Tech, RedTail's Kate Kaye asked sources — including one of those "high-level experts" — what "lawful" AI means when it comes to the future of EU regulation for AI.

The LFA team is expected to have an up-to-date and comprehensive understanding of relevant diseases, how they are prevented, transmitted and treated, and their impact on a specific country. The team assesses the recipients' institutional and health/programmatic capacities and arrangements to ensure adequate health expertise (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and/or malaria) in the implementation of the donor grant funds. The LFA team also determines whether the recipient has adequate infrastructure and information systems to support grant implementation, including the monitoring of performance of implementing partners and outsourced entities in a timely and accountable manner. The donor has recently adopted an intensive risk management approach to services with enhanced effort toward in-depth verifications and reporting. The identification of financial and programmatic risks with ongoing updates shall be provided the donor with special attention to the overall context of the relevant diseases and grant implementation incountry.

What To Offer On A Residence In Today's Market 2014 Clever advertising and marketing Strategic advertising and marketing is very important.

"In 2015 it would certainly have offered as a building story for a large replacement house however this year we pitched it at the equestrian market," he says. "We valued it at 10 percent listed below in 2014's rate and approved 750,000, happily." An aerial picture and excellent brochure, he states, assisted.

People love ghost towns. There is something about completely abandoned places that is so attractive to some people, regardless if some of these objects are dangerous. Typically, the holy grail of urban exploration is Pripyat in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine. However, if you want to see a completely abandoned Soviet town, which is in relatively good shape and does not ooze with radiation, you should go to Latvia.
Skrunda-1 now is completely abandoned, but it used to be home for thousands.
Skrunda-1 (later Skrunda-2) was the name of a small closed town, built for military personnel of a radar system in Latvia. The object itself began its life in 1963, when Soviets started building the first radar in the area. It was finished in 1968, but then construction of another, bigger and better one was started. Soon it was clear that facilities need personnel to protect and run them and it would be better for them to have their own closed town.
It looks especially spooky on grey days.
In 1980 over 600 families already lived in Skrunda military town, but it continued growing. Sauna, hospital, kindergarten, gym, garage, big water tower and many other facilities were built. However, vivid life in Skrunda did not last forever. Soviet Union collapsed and as Latvia regained its independence it was clear that Soviet troops and their equipment cannot stay there forever.
In 1994 Latvia and Russia signed an agreement, according to which Russian troops had to move out until 1998. Russia tried to negotiate and extend this time for two more years, until the radar system in Belarus is going to be finished. But Riga did not back off and with pressure from all Baltic States Russian troops had to leave and abandon their town.
One of the radar was demolished back in 1995. It was a large Daryal radar unit – one of the most advanced radar systems in Soviet Union. US actually partially funded the demolition and it was an American company that was hired to bring radar to the ground. This, of course, was achieved with a spectacular blast that many Latvians enjoy seeing.
Skrunda-1 was abandoned and quickly became popular between thieves and vandals. All metal that could be sold as scraps was scavenged, windows were broken, furniture and everything that could be reused was stolen. However, the site also became popular between tourists. They started coming to see the ghost town and there really aren't many of them in the area.
Here are some pictures from the Skrunda-1 town.
In 1980 around 6000 people lived in this town.
Last soldiers and their families moved out in 1998.
There are two underground bunkers in the territory.
Most of the metal was stolen long ago.
From 2016 Skrunda Municipality, which currently owns the town, started charging 4 euros for the entrance to the military town. No preparations were done in order to make it more tourist-friendly. There is broken glass everywhere, as well as some sharp metal rods poking out from the walls. Some daredevils climb on top of the water tower to look over the territory better, but as everything is rusting away that really isn't safe.
…but it really isn't safe anymore to climb to the top.
Should you go there? It depends. If you want to see what life used to be in Soviet Union – there is nothing left for you. It also has little to do with military history. Sure it was built as a complex for military personnel, but now it is just a deserted town.

'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' to end in 2021
"Keeping Up With the Kardashians" is coming to an end.
The announcement of the reality show's close was made by Kim Kardashian on Tuesday via Instagram in a letter "to our amazing fans."
"It is with heavy hearts that we've made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians," the 39-year-old reality star and businesswoman captioned a lengthy note.
The caption was posted with an original series poster showing the entire family in much younger times.
The wildly popular series, which has run on E! since its inception in 2007 for 20 seasons and hundreds of episodes, is executive produced by Ryan Seacrest and has produced a myriad of viral moments, as well as spurred numerous spin-off series.
"We'll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we've met along the way," the Skims creator added.

The mother of four declared that the series' farewell season will air "early next year in 2021" and in looking back on her time on the franchise, Kardashian expressed gratitude to the fans who have remained devoted viewers for nearly 15 years.
"Without 'Keeping Up with The Kardashians,' I wouldn't be where I am today," she wrote. "I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years. This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever."
Kardashian signed her memorandum "With Love and Gratitude."
Kim's younger sister, Khloé Kardashian, also shared the news with a similar note on Instagram on behalf of herself, Kim, their mom Kris Jenner, older sister Kourtney Kardashian, younger brother Rob Kardashian, younger half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as Kourtney's ex Scott Disick.
She captioned it: "I am so grateful and thankful to everyone who has supported us and been there through it all. I'm too emotional to fully express myself at the moment. My sappy post will come soon. Change is hard but also needed at times❤💔❤💔 I love you all. Thank you for the memories!"
During its time, the franchise grew its production tree to include titles and television specials such as "Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami," "Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event," "Lord Disick: Lifestyles of a Lord," "Kourtney and Kim Take New York," "Khloé & Lamar," "Kourtney and Khloé Take the Hamptons," "Dash Dolls," "Rob & Chyna," "About Bruce," "I Am Cait" and "Life of Kylie."

New York Hospitals Pilot Malpractice Reform
Five New York City-based hospitals will test an innovative approach to medical liability reform under a three year, $2.9 million grant from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The participating hospitals are Beth Israel Medical Center, Maimonides Medical Center, Montefiore Medical Center, Mount Sinai Medical Center and New York Presbyterian Hospital. Under the program, New York Presbyterian will focus on surgical errors, while the other four institutions will work on reducing errors in obstetrics. Institutions agree to provide early disclosure of medical errors with early offers of compensation to patients and families. Cases that can't be settled outside the courtroom will go before judges who are specially trained in "Judge-Directed Negotiations," with a curriculum based on the pioneering work of Judge Douglas McKeon of the Bronx County Supreme Court. That approach utilized by Health and Hospital Corporation institutions in the Bronx and Manhattan has reportedly saved as much $50 million annually in "transaction costs" associated with protracted litigation. The pilot project has the support of the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the New York State Bar Association. Patients and families participating in the project still have the option of pursuing jury trials. According to NYSDOH, New York has the highest medical malpractice costs in the nation ($1 billion annually) and led the nation in the number of claims filed with the National Practitioner Data Bank over a 10-year period ending in 2009.

Breguet and fine watchmaking are indissolubly linked. Watchmaking couldn't be the same without the impressive contribution of inventions and innovations that this brand made during a long history that spans four centuries.
Swiss-born Abraham-Louis Breguet established the eponymous watch manufacture in 1775 in Paris, where he had moved at the age of 15 to be apprenticed to a Versailles master watchmaker.
Today Breguet watches are made in Switzerland, in the Vallée de Joux, also known as the "watch valley" because it is the centre of advanced mechanical horology and the home of some of the most famous Swiss watch factories.
We recently had the pleasure to visit the main production site of the brand in L'Orient, a village at an elevation of 1,013 metres / 3,323 feet with less than 5,000 inhabitants which is part of the municipality of Le Chenit in the Canton of Vaud, near the French-Swiss border.
Click here to read our report.


NatureRails balustrade railing systems are fabricated using heavy duty spindles, newel posts and incorporate a unique look that is all your own. Our products are safe, reliable, and beautiful works of art that also function as a railing. Easy to install, our products can be configured with the exact spindle you would like and a newel post size of 3 to 4 inches.
Our decorative baluster border added to your spindle railing will keep your guests asking, "Where did you say you got your railing?" With so many options, the railing is as unique as you are.
So easy, just follow the simple steps below to receive a complete quote on your project.
3. What style of spindles do you prefer? Hammered or simple square?
4. Which decorative border would you like to use? See choices above.
The price of the railing depends on which border you select, the length of the railing, type and quantity of spindles used. $149 per foot and up for a standard 36-inch rail height.
Sorry, baluster installation not available. However, it's easy enough for you or your contractor to install with our detailed baluster installation layout plan prepared for your job.
Custom work is a major part of our business. If you would like a different border, we have an award-winning nature artist on staff that can design anything you can imagine. Maybe you would like a different color choice? We have access to 100's of quality powder coat colors. Customers have often combined these baluster railings with our other custom railing products. Take a look at our product photo gallery.
Never needs painting! Always looks amazing!
Are you designing a new deck, verandah, or porch for your home? Maybe you are doing a DIY project, or renovating a home. This can be an exciting time, something you have worked toward for years. Don't you want a deck railing system that lasts longer than the time it took to build your home? So often baluster railing is painted and rusting in less than a year. You just renovated, and now you have rust stains on your deck or stairs, and the wood is turning gray from the weather.
You can stop looking now, as you have found the right place to get top-quality balusterswith that decorative touch to set your home apart. Our baluster railing is thick, high-quality, and durable. Just ask our customers, they are thrilled when they get their products installed.
Why are NatureRails Products the Best?
From concept to delivery your order is treated with white glove service. We remember when customer service with a smile and a quality product was the foundation of a successful business. We still follow that model and treat every client's railing with the level of detail we would put into our own custom railing. Ready to call now and let us do the rest? Call 888-743-2325 and we can go over details and provide you with a written estimate. Would you rather get to know us a little better? Then please keep reading.
The process of your dream balustrade system starts with all-American hard work. Once you determine your desired spindle size, decorative baluster border choice, color and sizes needed—then let us do the rest. Sounding overwhelming already? Email your napkin drawing of your total area sizes or architectural plans and we can estimate your deck or balcony railing. Don't draw? No architect? Send photographs of your area and we can discuss the possibilities available for your new custom balustrade railing.
If your space is ready, one of the first things to determine is your newel post size. You want to ensure proper support according to the post size selected. Your newel post size should take in account your final spindle size. NatureRails offers 3″ and 4″ metal posts, sold separately, or use your own.
Once you have your measurements, along with a deposit we can begin designing your baluster railing. Your detailed design sketches are created and emailed to you for review and sign off. Reviewing you design sketch ensures your proper size, look & price of your new Decorative Baluster Railing.
After approval of your design sketches, fabrication begins. Your decorative border insert is fabricated with high quality precision water jet or laser cut, depending on the design. Next, all your components are hand welded by a certified welder.
To ensure your products look great and stand up to any weather condition we have added these additional steps to the manufacturing process. First, a two-step cleaning process is done to ensure proper powder coat adherence. A rust inhibitor is added in a wash that is applied to the product after sandblasting is completed to remove any mill scale or dirt from the fabrication process.
Whether you select steel or aluminum, your product will be carefully powder coated in one of our many gorgeous, durable textured colors. Unlike paint, powder coat will not rust, crack or fade. It is durable, looks beautiful and requires minimal maintenance! An additional primer powder coat layer is also frequently used for exterior steel railings.
Of course, you want your home to have the wow factor, a place you love telling people "I live here!." Maybe that place is the beach. You paid how much for those views? Or maybe you live in your log or timber frame home in the woods, a perfect place to enjoy your new custom home. Even if it's a renovation for a fix and flip, what better way to not only add safety to your deck and railing area but do it in a way that sets your home apart from the others on the market.
What if you didn't have to worry about stability in a railing because it would be all American made products of high quality? Or maybe you love the look of NatureRails wildlife art panels, but you still want ample view with some decorative features for your new deck along the bay. With NatureRails, you really can have it your way.

Tomorrow at 11am EDT- Fan Presale for StarTalk Live! at the Beacon Theatre NYC on 9/15/16
Our StarTalk Live! shows at the Beacon Theatre in NYC are turning out to be a high point of our year, thanks to a combination of timely topics and great guests, and the fact that they are part of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, which always includes some of the finest comedic talent in the country.
Last year, the show was all about "Comets and the Rosetta Mission and Pluto and the New Horizons Mission." Host Neil deGrasse Tyson welcomed Dr. Natalie Starkey as his science guest, and everybody liked Natalie so much, we invited her to become one of the hosts of our new podcast series, StarTalk All-Stars, premiering this June. Co-host Eugene Mirman's comedy guests were Scott Adsit, who was at our very first StarTalk Live!, and Ilana Glazer, who's become one of Comedy Central's hottest stars thanks to her show, Broad City. Music legend Christine Lavin even jumped on stage to sing a song about Pluto. (You'll be able to listen to Part 1 of that show on June 3, and Part 2 on June 10.)
In the Green Room at the Beacon Theatre, 9-21-15. L to R: Ilana Glazer, Scott Adsit, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Eugene Mirman, Dr. Natalie Starkey. Credit: Elliot Severn.
The previous year, Neil and Eugene were joined by two of the most outspoken public champions of the theory of evolution, Richard Dawkins and Bill Nye, along with returning guest comedian Jim Gaffigan and Maeve Higgins, who has gone on to be one of our most popular comic co-hosts. (Listen here: Part 1 and Part 2.)
Bill Nye snaps a selfie backstage at the Beacon Theatre in NYC with Maeve Higgins, Jim Gaffigan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, RIchard Dawkins and Eugene Mirman at StarTalk Live! on November 18, 2014. Photo by David Andrako.
And the first time we took the stage at the Beacon, we had Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa, hydrogeologist Dr. Tess Russo, and comedian Jason Sudeikis to help Neil and Eugene explore "Water World." (Listen here: Part 1 and Part 2.)
On stage at The Beacon Theatre for Water World: (L to R): Jason Sudeikis, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Neil deGrasse Tyson, His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa. (Not Shown: Eugene Mirman, Dr. Tess Russo.)
Who will our guests be when we return to the Beacon this year on September 15? What will the topic be? By now you know that even if we did know, we're not at liberty to tell. (But we don't know. At least, I don't.)
Here's what we do know:
StarTalk Live! will be at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on September 15, as part of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival.
Doors open at 7 pm, show starts at 8 pm.
Fan Presale Starts: 5/18/16, 11am EDT
Fan Presale Starts Tomorrow, but…

But, as a special reward for everyone who is still reading this blog post, here is the link and the password. You'll still have to wait until tomorrow at 11:00 AM to get your tickets, but at least this will put you at the front of the line!
