Why bullet train is not a luxury but a necessity for India; its bigger benefits are speed, convenience
The bullet train project is about trying an alternative approach which is easier in terms of effort and project management but may have similar financial burden.
Ashutosh Sarkar February 24, 2018 10:33:17 IST
The critics of the bullet train project may not like the recent statement of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi advising those opposing the bullet train project to travel on bullock carts. However, they should realize that his emphasis on the necessity of the project for India is appreciated by the masses. In fact they should realize that continuous criticism of the project may boomerang on them as the people at large does not believe that the government, by committing to the bullet train project, has compromised on the upgradation of the Indian Railways.
Millions of businesses thrive and billions of people live, directly or indirectly on Indian Railways. Therefore, in addition to its financial objectives, it has to achieve a social goal and this is why it is, unlike many rail networks around the world, is controlled and run by the government. Naturally, any investment by the government on the Indian Railways is seen by the public as an act for the welfare of the people. But the politics and too much of bureaucracy has made, operationally, the whole network as one of the most inefficient railway network in the world. The consequence is not just longer travel time or loss of taxpayers' money.
Travellers regularly meet with fatal accidents and also face innumerable incidences concerning their safety. Given the seventy of years of heritage of poor management during post-Independence era, the effort to improve both financial and operational performances of Indian Railways appears to be a Herculean task. Even if we assume that a complete organisational overhaul is possible, given the size, the financial requirement may reach few hundreds of billions of dollars. Finally, the taxpayers' would pay a major part of the above funds and also the interests on borrowings for something for which the outcome is unknown.
Given our competency in project management, they may have to spend more than a decade before we can see substantial difference in performance. As any economy is deeply linked to its transportation and communication infrastructure, until we do it (or rather complete the overhauling process) our economy must suffer.

The bullet train project is about trying an alternative approach which is easier in terms of effort and project management but may have similar financial burden. The investment, however, would build an alternative high-speed network that uses latest of the technological advancements and is safer. The alternative being completely new makes it easier to manage and execute.
More strategically, we can use the new network for long-distance travel while utilising the existing one for short-distances. Please look around and analyse some of the major technological innovations where governments as well as private enterprises are putting hundreds of billions of dollars. A good number of such big technological developments relates to the transportation sector. No one has any doubt that these efforts are going to drastically change the way businesses would be conducted in the future.
In such a scenario, the Indian Railway, with an average speed of just above 50KM/hour looks medieval and would definitely hamper our economy at a time we are aiming to become world's third largest economy after the USA and China.
The critics argue that the bullet train project is not financially viable and is a wastage of taxpayer's money. The prime minister, on the other hand, argued that the project is coming very cheap. Please note that the repayment of the loan will start only after 15 years with an annual repayment of lesser than Rs 3,000 crores. For India of 2035, it is indeed an insignificant amount. The critics argue that the project would be viable only if a volume of 100,000 passengers per day is achieved and this is impossible to achieve. The argument is also that the airfare between Mumbai and Ahmedabad is cheaper than the targeted one-way fare. The fallacy in the above arguments is that the volume requirement becomes relevant only after 15 years when the repayment of the loan starts.
Given the conservative estimate of 20,000 passengers per day in 2020, any scientific estimation method would give closer value to the desired number for the traffic volume in 2035. I also did a quick check on the prices for one-week advance air ticket and found that the least airfare is at least 40 percent more compared to the proposed train fare. The biggest benefit though would be travel speed and convenience. A businessman or an entrepreneur or someone from the working class would only see an economic opportunity in saving time and improving convenience. Thus, keeping in mind about the India of the future, building a pan-India network of bullet trains would definitely be a rational investment decision for the government.

Firefighters battle brush fires in Smithsburg area
SMITHSBURG — Firefighters worked for several hours Monday battling about seven brush fires that extended from Bayer Drive north to Edgemont Road, according to a fire official.
Danny Gibson, chief of the Smithsburg Community Volunteer Fire Co., said he believes the fires might have been caused by a malfunction on a passing train.
The train stopped at one point, then continued, Gibson said.
About 30 firefighters worked from 9:51 a.m. until about 1 p.m. to extinguish the blazes, Gibson said. He estimates the fires burned across 3 to 4 acres.
Gibson said the blazes were stopped near High Rock.
Bayer Drive is off Jefferson Boulevard.

Tropical pyomyositis
Author: Marie Hartley, Staff writer, 2010. Updated by Dr Jannet Gomez, Postgraduate student in Clinical Dermatology, Queen Mary University London, UK. February 2016.
What is tropical pyomyositis?
Tropical pyomyositis is a rare condition characterised by primary muscle abscesses arising within large skeletal muscles. It was first described by Scriba in 1885.
Who gets tropical pyomyositis?
Tropical pyomyositis most commonly affects children and young adults, who are otherwise healthy. Most are 10–40 years of age, with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. It can follow:
Blunt muscle trauma
Intravenous drug use
Intramuscular injections.
Predisposing factors include:
Nutritional deficiencies
Parasitic infections
Treatment with immunosuppressive drugs.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been found to be a strong risk factor for pyomyositis, due to immune compromise, primary HIV myopathy, antiretroviral therapy, and staphylococcal carriage.
What causes tropical pyomyositis?
Staphylococcus aureus is responsible in around 90% of cases.
Group A streptococcus accounts for another 1–5% of cases
Other bacteria cultured from pyomyositis include Group B, C and G streptococcus, pneumococcus, haemophilus spp., and Gram negative bacilli. Recently, community-associated (CA)–methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has been noted.
What are the clinical features of tropical pyomyositis?
Tropical pyomyositis can present with a single or multiple abscesses. The most commonly affected muscles are abdominal, spinal and gluteal muscles, quadriceps, pectoralis major, serratus anterior, biceps, iliopsoas and gastrocnemius.
Tropical pyomyositis has 3 distinct stages.
Invasive stage
Initially, there are 1–2 weeks of diffuse (widespread) pain, which may or may not be accompanied by fever. Since infection is deep in the muscle, overlying erythema is usually not seen. It can mimic a haematoma, thrombophlebitis, fasciitis and osteomyelitis.
Suppurative stage
In the second phase, a mass develops which progressively grows and becomes hard and painful over a further 1–2 weeks. The area is tender to the touch, with a wooden consistency. As the abscess forms, high fevers and systemic symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, and malaise) develop.
Late stage
If the abscess remains untreated, the third stage develops. The abscess may extend into an adjacent bone or joint, or septicaemia (blood poisoning) may develop. Septicaemia can result in septic shock, kidney failure, metastatic (distant spread of) abscesses and death.
How is tropical pyomyositis diagnosed?
The diagnosis of tropical pyomyositis can be difficult because the condition is rare, and the classical features of an abscess can be hidden by the tense overlying muscles. Laboratory findings can be nonspecific with leucocytosis and elevated ESR/C-reactive protein.
Blood cultures may be positive for S. aureus in 30% of patients.
Muscle enzymes (aldolase, creatine phosphokinase, aminotransferase, and lactic dehygrogenase) are usually normal or slightly raised.
Ultrasound scan shows hypoechoic areas with an increase in muscle mass and collection of fluid.
CT scan shows low attenuation with loss of muscle planes and a surrounding rim of contrast enhancement.
MRI shows hyperintense rim on T1 weighted images on gadolinium DTPA scan with peripheral enhancement.
Pus aspirated from the abscess can be viewed under a microscope or cultured in the laboratory to check for the presence and type of bacteria. However in 15-30% of cases, the pus may be sterile.
What is the treatment for tropical pyomyositis?
Surgical drainage of abscess: primary wound closure and vacuum drainage promotes better healing.
Appropriate antibiotics are given. Penicillin β-lactamase resistant penicillin (flucloxacillin) and vancomycin are the most commonly used drugs. Broad spectrum empirical antibiotics are needed for patients with HIV infection or other immunosuppressive state.
Treatment is continued till wound is clear of infection and the patient afebrile for 7–10 days.
What is the outcome for tropical pyomyositis?
If diagnosed early, the disease is curable, but delay in diagnosis often leads to a prolonged stay in hospital. Aggressive therapy may be needed.
A higher rate of Gram-negative bacterial infections, bacteremia and mortality is seen in in patients with pyomysoitis when they suffer from an underlying systemic illness.
Mortality is reported to be 10% in temperate regions.

Description IL1F9 Full-Length MS Protein Standard (NP_062564), Labeled with [U- 13C6, 15N4]-L-Arginine and [U- 13C6, 15N2]-L-Lysine, was produced in human 293 cells (HEK293) with fully chemically defined cell culture medium to obtain incorporation efficiency at Creative-Proteomics. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. The activity of this cytokine is mediated by interleukin 1 receptor-like 2 (IL1RL2/IL1R-rp2), and is specifically inhibited by interleukin 1 family, member 5 (IL1F5/IL-1 delta). Interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 1, beta (IL1B) are reported to stimulate the expression of this cytokine in keratinocytes. The expression of this cytokine in keratinocytes can also be induced by a contact hypersensitivity reaction or herpes simplex virus infection. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

George Floyd, calls for police reform, where we go from here: A conversation with The SJ-R
Natalie Pierre
State Journal-Register
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed while being taken into police custody. That same night, video of his murder — showing then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds until he stopped breathing — surfaced. The footage ignited a nationwide movement calling for police reform and speaking out against racism.
In the days following Floyd's death, a diverse group of people across Springfield began taking to the streets to join the Black community in protests calling for change.
Over the last year, police, lawmakers and other members of the local community have come together to have more conversations about race relations, racism and policing.
At noon today, The State Journal-Register will host a roundtable discussion looking back at the last year. The discussion will dive into the conversations that have taken place throughout the community, the steps that have been taken in an effort to create change and look at how we can continue to build on everything that has taken place since Floyd's death.
Springfield Police Chief Kenny Winslow, former Springfield City Council member and current state Sen. Doris Turner, local activist and community organizer John Keating II and local therapist Oluwatamilore "Tami" Odimayo will join SJ-R culture, diversity and inclusion reporter Natalie Pierre for the discussion, which will take place live on The State Journal-Register Facebook page.
About the panelists
Serving as Springfield's chief of police since 2013, Winslow has implemented a number of community policing initiatives within his department. Each year, SPD takes part in The Outlet's Bridging the Gap BBQ, which brings Black youth from the community together with police and first responders in an effort to establish familiar and trusting relationships in a laidback environment. Last month, Winslow — who joined the SPD in 1995 — was named the 2021 Chief of the Year by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police.
Turner — the first Black person to represent Springfield and Sangamon County in the state legislature — served on the Springfield City Council representing Ward 3 from 2011 until her legislative appointment earlier this year. During her time on the city council, she worked with Springfield police on use-of-force and training issues, helped make the city one of the first in Illinois to require all uniformed officers to wear body cameras and led a number of other police reform efforts.
Growing up as the son of a union organizer and a social worker helped lead Keating to activism and using his voice to stand up for the rights of people within Black and brown communities, and other marginalized groups. Last June, in an effort to keep conversations surrounding injustice at the forefront, he launched an organization called Education & Action Together. E.A.T. works to fight injustice, end police brutality and educate people about civil rights violations.
As a clinical professional counselor and certified drug and alcohol counselor at Killian and Associates, Odimayo is one of a handful of Black licensed therapists in Springfield. As such, he spends much of his time working to promote mental health awareness in Black and brown communities. In promoting that awareness, he stresses the importance of people being aware of racial trauma, and the impact continuously watching or reading about Floyd's murder, or others like it, can have on someone's mental health.
As part of the SJ-R team, Pierre works to identify stories that provide a voice for underrepresented groups within the community. She also helps lead company-wide efforts at the Gannett-owned newspaper working to ensure the organization's news coverage reflects the diversity and varied lived experiences of those within its communities. An award-winning journalist, she has more than a decade of experience working for newspapers in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and the Washington metropolitan area.
WHEN: Noon today
WHERE: You can join the discussion live, or set a reminder for yourself, by heading to this link: https://www.facebook.com/statejournalregister/posts/10165542101845232
ASK US: Those who have questions they would like answered during the conversation are encouraged to email Natalie Pierre prior to Wednesday at npierre@gannett.com.
Contact Natalie Pierre at npierre@gannett.com or on Twitter @NataliePierre_.

Fascinating documentary about legendary Soviet hockey team.
Parents need to know that Red Army is a documentary directed by Russian-American Gabe Polsky about the Soviet Union's legendary national ice hockey team from the '70s and '80s. It has extensive interviews (in English and subtitled Russian) with the most famous members of the Soviet team, particularly the legendary Russian Five, including Slava Fetisov, Alexei Kasatonov, Vladimir Krutov, and hall-of-famer goalkeeper Vladislav Tretiak. The interviewees' language infrequently includes variations on the word "s--t" (shown in subtitles), and some of the hockey footage shows violent confrontations and plays -- even blood on the ice. But otherwise this is a fascinating documentary for any hockey, sports, or history fan.

i've been working on this...conceptually i'm pleased, and i got the type of response i wanted from the critique today, but i'm still desirous of more from the content. i have directions in mind, but any discussion is great.
anyhow, here i present you with a video painting. ideally hung on the wall in a flat panel LCD TV, but also well suited for high resolution viewing on your computer screen: transformation of utility, reconceptualizing motion.
Edit: Actually, I kind of forget I've been working on this project for a while since it was interrupted by frustration with my tools. This other video is done with photoshop, as opposed to layering photographic elements, but is built on the same notion. I made this video painting during the summer of '04. I have other attempts as well, but they haven't been finished, and may need to come after the paint based model.
I am now exceedingly annoyed at the crappiness of mplayer's loop function, but I like this.
er, sorry there's no progress bar. they aren't that large, so estimate your wait?
anyone have ideas on why it might not be showing download progress?
nice work. i really like the paint texture. lots of cool possibilities here. the digital one is neat but could be developed. i like the dancing smudges.
here's a collaboration piece i did for school along similar lines. ink/paint/source photo done by classmates. i just made it move.
I have the idea to create a huge wrap for a carousel and then place a wall between the carousel and the viewer to create a huge cinematic loop, but it changes the social and physical positioning of the work quite a bit. Still a neat thought.
both of those pieces are simply beautiful. the first one made me feel a bit dizzy, but that may be just me cause i get motion sickness way too easily.

States can't use grant money to discriminate against religious schools, Supreme Court rules
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh joined Roberts, while Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.

PETITION: Tell Trump Christians can't accept SCOTUS ruling imposing LGBT ideology! Sign the petition here.
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 30, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Tuesday that states may not deny tuition grants to religious schools if they would award those same grants to secular private schools.
Espinoza v. Montana concerned Kendra Espinoza, a Montana mother who used a tax-credit-funded state scholarship to send her daughters to Stillwater Christian School. The Montana Supreme Court had struck down that tax-credit system on the basis of the Blaine Amendment to the Montana Constitution, which bans the use of taxpayer funds at "sectarian" schools.
Blaine Amendments, which are part of the constitutions of 37 states, were "added to state constitutions in order to enforce the nativist bigotry of the day" against Catholics, according to a Cardinal Newman Society report.
On Tuesday, the nation's highest court sided with Espinoza and reversed the Montana justices. The majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, explained that while it's ultimately up to states to decide whether to support private schools at all, if they choose to do so they cannot discriminate against some on the basis of their religious beliefs.
"Disqualifying otherwise eligible recipients from a public benefit solely because of their religious character imposes 'a penalty on the free exercise of religion that triggers the most exacting scrutiny,'" Roberts wrote, citing the court's 2017 ruling in Trinity Lutheran vs. Comer. "Montana's no-aid provision bars religious schools from public benefits solely because of the religious character of the schools. The provision also bars parents who wish to send their children to a religious school from those same benefits, again solely because of the religious character of the school."
Calling the majority holding "perverse," Sotomayor claimed in her dissenting opinion that the court "appears to require a State to reinstate a tax-credit program that the Constitution did not demand in the first place." However, the issue was not whether Montana had to keep the program as a whole, but whether it could discriminate on the basis of religious status within it.
"Today, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that affirmed one of America's first freedoms, established in the First Amendment -- the right of religious freedom," said Family Research Council (FRC) research fellow for legal & policy studies Katherine Beck Johnson. "America was founded, in part, to apply the principle that a government may not tell anyone what to believe or how to worship. For many Americans, our religion informs every aspect of our lives, from where and how we worship, to how we interact with civil society, to how to educate our children. Americans of faith even come together to form institutions united around their common goals."
"It was high time for the Blaine Amendments to bite the dust," Becket Fund senior counsel Diana Verm added. "Our Constitution requires equal treatment for religious people and institutions. Relying on century-old state laws designed to target Catholics to exclude all people of faith was legally, constitutionally, and morally wrong. The Court was right to kick the Blaine Amendments to the curb."
Tuesday's victory for religious schools follows a string of defeats for social conservatives at the nation's highest court, each of which involved at least one justice appointed by a Republican president. But while some conservative voters have said they feel demoralized by those defeats, the fact remains that Espinoza v. Montana would have been a 7-2 ruling against religious equality without Gorsuch or Kavanaugh, who were appointed by President Donald Trump.

Metakomunikat – zakamuflowana informacja przekazana razem z komunikatem werbalnym na poziomie uczuć i nastroju mówiącego.

Metakomunikat można przekazać  poprzez zaakcentowanie jakiegoś słowa, rytm lub wysokość głosu a także poprzez modyfikatory werbalne (wyrazy modalne) takie jak: tylko, jedynie, znów, teraz, ciągle, zawsze itp. Zazwyczaj jednak modulacja głosu i modyfikator werbalny występują razem tworząc komunikat, który choć nie wypowiedziany werbalnie jest zrozumiały na poziomie uczuć często z pominięciem świadomości. Metakomunikat pojawia się wtedy, gdy człowiek boi się przekazać wprost jakiejś informacji drugiej osobie. Za metakomunikatem ukrywa się co tak naprawdę myśli się o wydarzeniach czy innych ludziach. Ludzie szyfrują uczucia negatywne (agresję, irytację, dezaprobatę, ironię, niechęć itp.) i takie, z którymi nie chcą się zdradzić.

Przykład
 "To tylko gra". - Poprzez użycie wyrazu modalnego tylko i odpowiedniej modulacji głosu przekazuje się drugiej osobie tak  naprawdę informacje, aby nie przejmowała się tak bardzo grą i nie brała jej zbyt poważnie, jak to teraz robi.

 "Nie, dziękuję" - ta zwykła fraza może nieść ze sobą bardzo różne komunikaty w zależności od rytmu, intonacji i akcentów, które się postawi. Może wyrażać grzeczną odmowę, ale jeśli zaakcentuje się ostro te dwa słowa komunikat może znaczyć wówczas: "Nie chcę nic od Ciebie. Zostaw mnie w spokoju".

Jak radzić sobie z negatywnymi metakomunikatami?
Krok pierwszy: Uchwyć metakomunikat.
Aby móc obronić się przed metakomunikatem, najpierw trzeba go zauważyć. Pomagają nam w tym nasze uczucia. Jeśli w rozmowie z kimś nagle nie wiedząc skąd, czujemy się nieswojo lub zaatakowani, choć ze słów osoby z nami rozmawiającej to nie wynika, to warto przeanalizować w myślach wypowiedź naszego rozmówcy (intonacja głosu, akcenty, tempo, modyfikatory werbalne) i sprawdzić czy nie zawiera w sobie metakomunikatu.

Krok drugi: Rozszyfruj metakomunikat.
Kiedy już się odkryje, w czyjejś wypowiedzi ukrytą informację, sprawdź czy twoje domysły są prawdą. Zapytaj swego rozmówcy czy te uczucia, które rozszyfrowałeś z metakomunikatu faktycznie mu towarzyszą. Ten krok jest niezbędny. Łatwo bowiem można się pomylić, źle odczytać czyjąś intencje i jeśli nie zweryfikujesz swoich domysłów, pozostaniesz ze swoją interpretacją i nigdy nie dowiesz się tego, co tak naprawdę ta osoba myśli czy czuje. Ujawnienie zakamuflowanych komunikatów zwiększa prawdopodobieństwo, że następnym razem komunikacja będzie bardziej otwarta i bezpośrednia.

Red 4-stave music written in a gothic hand and square gothic notation.

Viewed in isolation the syallables are virtually unintelligble.
Foliation in roman numerals (lxxxiiii), in red ink.
The number 1413 is written in black ink at the end of the last 4-line stave (verso). It appears to be a later hand. The significance of this number remains a mystery at this time.
The leaf is tension mounted.
Decoration includes ten large cadel flourished initials in red, blue and brown, with extended pen trailing on the response incipit Iustum deduxit dominus per uias rectas, and anthropomorphic detail to the capital of the verse incipit Letamini in domino et exulte iusti et gloriamini.

Gun licensing continues to rise in Mass.
By Matt Rocheleau Globe Staff,January 27, 2016, 10:45 p.m.
Tens of thousands of new gun licenses were issued to Massachusetts residents in 2015, continuing a recent surge, according to state data.
There were 342,622 active Class A firearms licenses statewide, according to figures provided by the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services earlier this month. That was up about 24,700, or 7.8 percent, from the same time a year ago.
A Class A license, the broadest license available under state law and by far the most popular, allows the holder to carry rifles, shotguns, or handguns. It also allows the holder to carry a concealed handgun.
The number of Class A licenses has increased by 104,150, or 44 percent, from five years ago.
A steady rise in the number of active Class A gun licenses in Massachusetts
Class A licenses are the broadest license type available under state law and by far the most popular.
SOURCE: Massachusetts Department of Criminal Justice Information Services
The increase in the popularity of gun licenses in recent years has been attributed to fears that lawmakers might impose further restrictions on gun ownership, particularly in the wake of high-profile mass shootings.
"People are rightfully concerned that they won't be able to exercise their civil rights," said Jim Wallace, executive director of the Northborough-based Gun Owners' Action League of Massachusetts, an affiliate of the National Rifle Association. "Especially in this state, [the push for new regulation] just seems to never stop."
"There is certainly fear of overregulation," he added.
Massachusetts is considered to have some of the tightest gun restrictions in the country. Wallace said there have been campaigns for even tighter restrictions within certain cities and towns.
"There have been a number of local efforts," said Wallace. "It's no longer just happening down in D.C. or on Beacon Hill, it's happening in people's backyards."
He said he thought a few other factors might also be causing the increase in gun licenses.
An increasing number of women are obtaining licenses, he said.
He also said people who are between their mid-20s and mid-30s have become interested in gun ownership, more than previous generations.
Wallace said he thought the Internet had helped the trend because it has made it easier for people to find information.
"Now, if you say, 'I want to get involved in clay [skeet] shooting. How do I do this?' You just get online and everything is right at your fingertips," he said.
Wallace said there's also increased interest in gun ownership from "people coming into the hunting world because they want natural food."
Gun control advocate John Rosenthal said the rise in gun licenses is not a surprise.
"It's all part of the master plan of the gun lobby, and it's working," said Rosenthal, a local real estate developer who is co-founder of the Newton-based nonprofit Stop Handgun Violence. "More guns, more fear — more fear, more gun violence — more gun sales."
He said, "Sadly, more gun licenses will result in likely more accidental gun deaths. It will put more kids at risk in homes. There will be more teenage suicides. There will be more accidents from unlocked guns."
The increase this year in the number of Class A permits was smaller than in recent years. From 2014 to 2015, the number grew by 9.1 percent, while from 2013 to 2014, the number grew by 11.2 percent.
Generally, the licenses are most popular on a per capita basis in communities west of Worcester as well as in a few places in the southeastern portion of the state.
The highest number of active Class A licenses per 1,000 residents was in the Central Massachusetts town of Oakham, at 268 licenses per 1,000 residents, followed by the western Massachusetts communities of Middlefield (265) and Peru (262).
The lowest number of licenses per capita was in Brookline, which has seven licenses per 1,000 residents, followed by Cambridge (10), and Boston (11).
About 90 percent of all gun licenses in the state are Class A licenses.
The next most common type is the Firearm Identification Card, the lowest-level gun permit, which allows the purchase and possession of non-large capacity rifles or shotguns only.
There were 34,243 active FID cards statewide as of the start of the month, 88 more than a year ago, but about 3,150 fewer than in 2010.
The third most common type is the Class B license, which allows the purchase of all weapons sanctioned under the Class A license except for large-capacity handguns. It also does not allow a person to carry a concealed handgun.
There were 2,879 active Class B licenses as of the start of the month, 315 fewer than last year and 2,035 fewer than in 2010.
Lawmakers passed legislation in August 2014 phasing out Class B licenses. The state stopped issuing Class B permits at the start of 2015, though active ones will remain valid until they expire.
Class A, FID, and Class B permits expire after six years.
The only other type of gun possession license allows residents to have machine guns, but the only people eligible for such licenses are certified firearms instructors who train police personnel and gun collectors.
There were 1,781 active machine gun licenses statewide as of Jan. 5, records show.
Gun license applications are reviewed, and the licenses are issued, by local police departments. Application requirements can differ from one community to the next.

Launching of DHA Multan chapter by DHA is perceived as the biggest thing that has happened to real estate sector of Multan. Multan is a historical city and considered as the metropolitan of south Punjab. The cotton rich southern Punjab is an ideal location for a first of its kind high end residential society.Multan District is surrounded by the Khanewal to the North and North East, the Vehari to the East and Lodhran to the South. The Chenab River passes on its Western side, across which lies Muzaffargarh.
DHA Multan will be a model community that will offer diverse housing portfolio for different classes including elite class, moderate class, while people with low income can also be a part of it. DHA projects provide residencies especially to defence related personals those are fighting for us to provide them with a safe and secure future.
Multan is considered an undeclared metropolitan of southern Punjab. In addition DHA Multan is located in one of the most sought out location in Multan. The average prices of Plots in good societies around DHA Multan are above 15 Million. DHA Multan is expected to rise much higher than its competitors in the area. In 5 years time we can safely assume that this File would have converted into a plot with a price above 12 Million minimum.
DHA Multan is not a separate authority rather it is a chapter of DHA Lahore and this has been done specially to keep the functioning smooth.
Defence Housing Authority Multan will become a model community with diverse housing portfolio for high, moderate and low income families. Innovative planning, environmentally compliant, safe and secure, state of the art development and availability of all amenities of life at doorstep will be the hallmark of the Community. It will be a community where everyone will have an immaculate place to live.
Develop vacant Government Land or acquire privately owned land in line with the government policies for purpose of designing, developing and implementing facilities, schemes and investment opportunities by creating communities, business centers, theme parks etc.
Planning and development of land according to international urban planning guidelines and standards and improving existing recreational, residential and commercial projects.
Develop subsidiaries and joint ventures with any other entity for developing more effective business and operational models and to take advantage of any opportunities which may present themselves from time to time.
DHA Multan has launched its first Phase in Multan and the prospects look great. The location of DHA Multan is excellent and the prices in the surrounding societies is a witness to that. DHA is expanding itself to other cities and Multan seems to be the perfect city to launch a society with a huge population and being the De-facto capital of south Punjab or the proposed province of Saraikistan consisting of around 6 Crore population.
Multan is the most prosperous and happening city in south Punjab and it occupies a central location. Plots in good societies in Multan including Multan Cantt range from 1.2 Crores to 2.5 Crores which makes the file prices ranging from 45 to 48 lacs for one kanal in DHA Multan a very attractive bargain. It is safe to assume that once the balloting is conducted which is expected in 2019, the price of Plots in DHA Multan will increase significantly.
All of this is not going to happen over night and the process of DHA Multan files turning into plots, followed by possession and than development. It has already taken almost a decade since it was launched and it may take another before it is a fully functional and thriving society.
DHA Multan will therefore remain an area to focus in years to come for investors and genuine home owners who would want to secure a peaceful living in one of the most prestigious society in Pakistan.
It is important to mention here that Multan city presently is in need of organized and managed society. DHA Multan has filled that gap amicably and in future we expect that the plot prices are going to rise significantly.
Balloting of DHA Multan files is expected to happen in 2019 and these files will be allocated plot numbers through a computerized ballot. It is hard to assume how quickly and how high the plot prices will go since we do not have the master plan of the society yet, however we can safely assume that in 5 years after balloting, possession would have been handed over and the price of an average plot in DHA Multan may range from 150 to 200 Lacs.
While you will have to pay the development charges which will be around 22 Lacs, it is still safe to assume that you will get atleast a 150 to almost 200 % increase in next 5 years if you invest in DHA Multan.
If you are a local resident or living in south Punjab than its best to buy and hold it for long term and sell it after possession or build your own house in future. However if you are not a resident of Multan or any surrounding areas than you should follow any of these strategies.
The best time to buy is to either buy DHA Multan Affidavit file or Allocation file plot balloting of Phase 1 DHA Multan and the best time to sell will be in 6 months to 1 year after balloting. This will yield you the maximum profit in a short time period.
The second strategy you can adopt is to buy a good location plot after the plot balloting. The best time to buy will vary and largely depend on the prevailing market conditions. Usually it is the time when the market is slow and it is hard to find a buyer. You can take advantage of the situation and buy a good location plot and sell it just before possession or may be a little while after that.
Results of all category are uploaded on web page. You can easily find your result of each category after inserting your CNIC Number. System will check it in all categories and let you know.
In case you receive invalid message, it is advised to try after some time as system is already processing required number of requests.
In some cases successful candidates are asked to forward certain missing documents to "Director Transfer and Records, DHA Multan". Please forward it without any delay, so that your documents are processed at the earliest.
Information letter (English and Urdu).
Membership and Undertaking Form (To be returned to DHA Multan after filling details).
Last day of down payment, membership charges and miscellaneous charges is 15 July 2017. However, these charges can be paid earlier than 15 Jul 2017 on receipt of documents.
For Overseas Candidates, services of reputed firm sought to deliver required documents at your door steps. Please contact DHA Multan if you do not receive documents by 5 July 2017.
It is mandatory to write reference number on all copies of Challan form before depositing it in the prescribed banks.
Complete ballot results are updated on DHA Multan website including 1 Kanal, 2 Kanal , 10 Marla, 8 Marla, 5 Marla Residential and 4 and 8 Marla commercial plots.
As per latest reports the ballot result of DHA Multan will be available online on 5th June 2017 after 11 am.
If you are reading this chances are that you have been allocated DHA Multan installment file , follow the procedure below to sell your file.
Your installment files can be sold easily on premium to interested buyers and we can help you sell it safely and easily with best premium price.
The premium on files will depend on various things and will vary day to day.
You will shortly receive a letter from DHA Multan regarding the confirmation of your allotment and due date for submission of your first installment and membership fee. This should take some where between 30 to 60 days after ballot.
If you do not have the money to pay first installment you can contact us and visit our office with original documents including the DHA Multan letter issued in your name and CNIC and we can assist you to sell it to a potential buyer on profit.
Usually the transfers will not be opened by DHA Multan unless you deposit first installment and membership fee,so in case you are unable to deposit the first installment yourself , you will not get as high a premium as those who will be able to do so. This also puts the buyers money at high risk and therefore not advisable in most cases.
Contact our sellers agent for further details.
Contact our buyers agent whose numbers are given below.
The transfers of these files will open in 30 to 60 days, so right now you can book your file from a potential seller but it can not get transferred immediately.
You can purchase the file after down payment and membership is paid by seller which is advisable or you can pay the down payment on the sellers behalf but that will put you on higher risk as the seller remains the lawful owner till it is transferred.
In both cases sign a legal agreement with the seller and take all original documents from the seller including the DHA letter issued in his favor, bank deposit slips and the copy of CNIC.
If you purchase from some one who can not pay the down payment you will have to pay less premium but it puts your money at more risk, so be careful to cover every legal aspect before you conclude the deal. Imlaak will hold no responsibility in case a seller backs out of the deal.
After signing the agreement, you will have to wait till the transfers are opened by DHA Multan and than you can get it transferred in your name.
Also remember that Purchaser will have to pay transfer fee or any other expenses incurred on the transfer of the said file as the seller will only be responsible to pay his membership fee.
DHA Multan balloting will be held on 31 May 2017 "In Sha Allah".
Office timings 31 May only. 0900-1300 Hours.
From 31 May to 2 June 2017, no transfer / Allocation activity will take place in DHA Multan.
A lot of rumors are in the air about the expected balloting of the plots on Installments. However as per our news source we can confirm that it will be a while before the balloting takes time and may take DHA Multan 1 month to 2 months , therefore we are looking at May or even as far as June for the scheduled balloting.
Please Note that the actual launch prices may differ.
Remain tuned for more details.

Q: Updating SharePoint 2010 from August 2011 CU to Service Pack 2 I want my SharePoint 2010 farm to update from August 2011 CU to Service Pack 2.
Just wanted to confirm, do I need to install all of the CU's in between August 2011 CU and SP2? Or just download SP2 Foundation & Server and install one by one (first Foundation and then Server).
Here is the list of all CU's and SP's.
Additionally, if anyone has experienced any issues with SP2 or can share link with me for SharePoint 2010 SP2 pros and cons, it will be highly appreciated.
P.S: Please recommend if I need to install any other CU after SP2 installation which is more stable release.

A: I required me to install June 2013 CU first and then SP2 on top of it. June 2013 CU was released later than SP2 and have greater version number. Install them in the same sequence, first Foundation and then Server.
No need to install all of previous CU's for SP2. It includes all of previous CU's in it but not June 2013 CU (as mentioned above).
I experienced an issue that my User Profile Service was unable to start. However, troubleshooting that took me some time and finally i was able to start it. FIM services in services console must be running for UPS sync.
SP2 is one of the stable release. However, it can be updated with July 2014 CU.
This helped me a lot to work with patching.
Hope it help someone else.

DNA methylation of retroviral promoter and enhancer localized in the provirus 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) is considered to be a mechanism of transcriptional suppression that allows retroviruses to evade host immune responses and antiretroviral drugs. However, the role of DNA methylation in the control of HIV-1 latency has never been unambiguously demonstrated, in contrast to the apparent importance of transcriptional interference and chromatin structure, and has never been studied in HIV-1-infected patients.
We analyzed the relation of latent and reactivated HIV-1 promoters in a model of Jurkat cell lines and in memory CD4+ T cells of long-term aviremic patients by means of bisulfit sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation in cell-sorted populations. To assess the resistance of latent HIV-1 to reactivation we exposed the cells to TNF-α, protein kinase C agonists, inhibitors of HDAC, and inhibitors of DNA methyltransferases.
We show in an in vitro model of reactivable latency and in a latent reservoir of HIV-1-infected patients that CpG methylation of the HIV-1 5' LTR is an additional epigenetic restriction mechanism, which controls resistance of latent HIV-1 to reactivation signals and thus determines the stability of the HIV-1 latency. CpG methylation acts as a late event during establishment of HIV-1 latency and is not required for the initial provirus silencing. Indeed, the latent reservoir of some aviremic patients contained high proportions of the non-methylated 5' LTR. In the latent reservoir of HIV-1-infected individuals without detectable plasma viremia, we found HIV-1 promoters and enhancers to be hypermethylated and resistant to reactivation, as opposed to the hypomethylated 5' LTR in viremic patients. However, even dense methylation of the HIV-1 5'LTR did not confer complete resistance to reactivation of latent HIV-1 with some histone deacetylase inhibitors, protein kinase C agonists, TNF-α, and their combinations with 5-aza-2deoxycytidine: The densely methylated HIV-1 promoter was most efficiently reactivated in virtual absence of T cell activation by suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid.
The latency controlled solely by transcriptional interference and by chromatin-dependent mechanisms in the absence of significant promoter DNA methylation tends to be leaky and easily reactivable. Tight but incomplete control of HIV-1 latency by CpG methylation might have important implications for strategies aimed at eradicating HIV-1 infection.

K-218 Liverpool registered car c.1903
A car is parked at the roadside on a sunny day. The driver is dressed for some serious motoring whilst his passenger is a clergyman without an overcoat. He looks slightly uncomfortable perched on the seat of the open car. Who is he? Could he be the owner, or a friend or relative of the driver? It's hard to say but here we have a glimpse into a pioneering moment in motoring history.
I picked this glass lantern slide up on eBay for a couple of pounds. It interested me because it is an early example of an automobile, probably dating from about 1903. I haven't been able to identify the make of the car (indeed I would be grateful for any suggestions) but what is clear is that it was registered in Liverpool and was probably photographed on Princes Avenue. I don't know who the clergyman was or the driver but the letter K was used for cars in Liverpool from 1903 to 1914. The records for these early registrations no longer exist but presumably this car was the 218th car to be registered in Liverpool. Whether that means the photograph was taken in 1903 I don't know (would at least 218 cars be registered in the first year of the registration system?), but judging from the style of the car, which doesn't have a steering wheel, I would guess that it was manufactured closer to 1903 than 1914. I had thought it might have been a Liver Phaeton, manufactured in Birkenhead by William Lea, of which only one example survives in the Museum of Liverpool. However, the car in the Museum has a number of differences and this clearly isn't a Liver Phaeton. Having said that William Lea was a highly successful entrepreneur who made his own cars using imported Benz engines including a larger version of the Phaeton. His showrooms in Birkenhead had an indoor track that could be used for test drives with room, apparently, for fifty cars. By 1909 he was also the agent for "Benz, Progress, Darracq and English Benz Cars", all available from his depot on Berry Street in Liverpool. He also advertised a very large stock of vehicles for sale. But he was far from being the only car dealer in Liverpool at the time. The city had its own Self-propelled Traffic Association from 1896 (President, the Earl of Derby) and The Liverpool Show of 1903 at St George's Hall claimed to possess the largest (and best) exhibition of motors outside of London. It is possible to search back issues of The Autocar online courtesy of Grace's Guide (http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Main_Page) but that just confirms the massive variety of vehicles available to early enthusiasts of motoring. If this clergyman was one of them he must have caused quite a stir being able to shoot around his parish in his own motor car, but I rather suspect that he was induced to climb aboard by a car-owning parishioner and have his photograph taken for posterity.

Operating six round trips daily, seven days a week, the CNG-powered shuttles provide disadvantaged communities and area residents with greater access to centralized employment, airports and education. Ridership jumped from less than two hundred during the first month to nearly 1,200 in April, with an estimated 13,300 climbing on board per year. Average trip length is 39 miles each way, equating to nearly 520,000 trip-miles annually.
Those who take advantage of the V-line will ride in style, since each 20-passenger shuttle features comfortable seats, free Wi-Fi, USB charging ports, storage racks, and can accommodate two wheelchairs per trip. The cost is $10 each way, $9 for students, seniors, the disabled, and veterans. During its first year, Fresno State University paid the cost of round trips for its students and employees.
When the V-line's ribbon was cut, and the Visalia Rawhide (minor league farm team to the Arizona Diamondbacks) sent their mascot, Tipper the Cow, to meet Fresno State's Bulldog mascot, TimeOut, it was the culmination of a vision of greater connectivity and accessibility.
"We are excited to finally see the V-Line shuttle route meet the needs of many students, airline passengers and others, while improving air quality, transportation choices, and overall quality of life for many here in the south San Joaquin Valley," said Monty Cox, Visalia's former transit manager. With the City projecting annual ridership to ultimately surpass 16,000 passengers per year, it looks like the vision is becoming reality. "

Governor Inuwa Yahaya, others honoured as Distinguished Alumni of ABU Zaria
Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State and some other personalities who graduated from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria have been honoured and featured as Distinguished Alumni of the institution.
The Governor was a guest of honour at a public presentation and lunch of the maiden edition of a book, titled "A compendium of Distinguished ABU Alumni", organized by the ABU Alumni Association held at the International Conference Center, Abuja.
Governor Yahaya was featured as one of the Distinguished ABU Alumni in the compendium, which is a collection of 'who is who' that passed through the institution, an honour he warmly appreciated.
Speaking at the occasion, Governor Yahaya recollected with nostalgia, his experience as a student in ABU Zaria some 40 years down memory lane, admitting that the institution had contributed in shaping his life and molding his personality.
He said, "We must appreciate what ABU has done for us. For instance, in Gombe State, three out of the four Civilian Governors from 1999 to date are products of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria and we are proud of that and we remain appreciative".
"Even as we gather here to rejoice today, we must individually and collectively think of how we can Improve on our lots and the lots of students we left far behind in the school at the moment. The school has done its own part and it is now our turn to give back", the Governor remarked.
He extended the message of solidarity, support and goodwill of the government and people of Gombe state as well as those of all ABU Alumni in the state, noting that the compendium will serve as a reference material not only to those who passed through the ABU but to the generality of the populace.
The event was attended by the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, members of the National Assembly, Traditional Rulers, Chancellor and Vice Chancellor of ABU, President of the ABU Alumni Association, politicians, elder statesmen, captains of industry among other dignitaries.

"I wouldn't recommend [macular degeneration] to anyone, but it's survivable. I found less and less that I needed to record what was there and realized more and more that solving the riddle of the rectangle or the square was what painting was about."
Thomas Sgouros in a 2009 video profile produced by Joseph A. Chazan for AS220
Born in 1927 to Greek immigrant parents in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Sgouros received his BFA in illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1950.
After working as a professional illustrator in Boston and New York, he returned to RISD in 1962 to teach in the illustration department and invest himself in his studio practice as an artist. He exhibited his work regularly and became an esteemed member of the RISD illustration department. Among many other recognitions for his teaching and leadership, he held the Helen M. Danforth Distinguished Professorship from 1991-1994 .
A member of the National Academy, Sgouros received several awards, including a Claiborne Pell Award for Excellence in the Arts.
His work is in the permanent collections of the Anchorage Museum of Fine Art, The Cleveland Museum of Art, Jacksonville Museum of Fine Art, RISD Museum, Colby College Museum of Art, and Newport Art Museum.
Sgouros's post-macular artwork
In a brief six-month period in 1992, macular degeneration devastated the vision in both of Sgouros's eyes. This happened just as he felt he'd come into his own as a painter. Consequently, vision loss seemed at first like "the end of everything" for him.
He continued teaching at RISD and spending time in his painting studio. As he explained many years later: "I had to work and I didn't know quite what to do. I couldn't examine anything based on observation, which turned out to be a pretty good thing, because I don't think an artist should be a reporter of observation, rather something a little more profound." He used masking tape and a T-square to create horizon lines and then began painting the Remembered Landscapes that would constitute the sole subject of his work for the last twenty years of his painting life.

Honório Tonial (Sananduva, 28 de março de 1926 — Erechim, 9 de maio de 2017) foi um escritor, professor, radialista, wikipedista e poeta brasileiro,  o qual tem obras publicadas em língua portuguesa e língua talian.

Biografia
Honório nasceu em 28 de março de 1926 em Linha Boa Vista, distrito do atual município de Sananduva, sendo o sétimo em uma família de 14 irmãos. Estudou em um colégio da Linha Veado, em Sananduva, iniciando a carreira de docente como professor particular aos 16 anos de idade. Transferiu-se para a cidade de Caxias do Sul e em 1949 formou-se professor rural em Guaporé. No ano seguinte, assumiu como diretor em uma escola de Nova Prata.

Fundou a localidade de Vila Paraíso, em Sananduva, durante a década de 1950 e foi o responsável pela criação da Associação dos Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais (APAE), a principal instiuição para auxílio de deficientes intelectuais da região. Em 1963, mudou-se para Erechim e se tornou cordenador rural da 15ª região da Secretaria de Educação e Cultura, formando-se em nível superior em 1967 como professor de português em Passo Fundo.

Iniciou a carreira de locutor de rádio pouco tempo após, tornando-se mais conhecido por ser um dos principais responsáveis pela difusão do idioma talian no país. Foi o autor do dicionário português-talian em 1997. Tornou-se o co-fundador da Assossiassion Virtual Mondial del Talanvéneto, conhecida como Asvirmontave, uma associação referente ao idioma talian, além de ministrar palestras sobre o idioma em território gaúcho.

Foi um dos principais responsáveis pela inclusão do talian no Inventário Nacional da Diversidade Linguística, ao ser reconhecida em novembro de 2014 como referência cultural brasileira pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN), recebendo votos de congratulações da Câmara de Vereadores de Erechim em março de 2015 pelo feito.

Em 2015, foi agraciado pela prefeitura de Erechim como "Patrono da Feira do Livro" daquele ano realizada no município, aos 89 anos. Faleceu de causas naturais em 9 de maio de 2017, aos 91 anos de idade.

We conducted a survival and route selection study of juvenile fall and spring run Chinook salmon in the Sacramento San Joaquin watershed. Several treatment groups of hatchery salmon were fitted with 0.3 gram JSATS transmitters. Over 1000 juvenile Chinook salmon were tagged and released in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. Fall run fish were released at three locations along the Sacramento River. Spring run fish were released in three groups, two at locations along the Feather River and one coinciding with a release group of fall run that were released in Sacramento. Sacramento releases were timed to coincide with the arrival to the Delta of the fish released upstream. Analyzing movements of fish trucked and released, that have not undertaken a complete out-migration may be problematic when attempting to extrapolate results to fish released at the hatcheries. Previous studies suggest that mortality is in reaches immediately below release locations. Our concern is that migratory behavior is also affected. Our study sought to elicit differences in the migratory behavior of the treatment groups, as well as examine the factors affecting the route that the fished used during their outmigration. Detections of fish were analyzed for transit time, route utilization, and survival.


Well-equipped back machines are equipped with a higher functionality increasing the variety of exercises. While equipment features like integrated lifting handles or folding mechanisms improve the handling, comfortable upholsteries facilitate the training.
This criterion considers the adjustment options of single units to the user and the general ergonomics of the back machine. An ergonomic construction with correct joint angles prevents physiological false postures.
This movement criterion mainly focuses on the quality of the accomplishment (due to friction resistances, storages, ergonomics, etc.). A constant course of motion is very important for back training. Such a movement is joint-gentle; the training effect is improved thanks to an increased muscle activity.
The stability of a back machine is achieved by the size of the floor space, a high own weight, and a sturdy frame construction. A sturdy back machine is not only durable; it is safe and offers a higher weight loadability.

Senate pro tem files bill extending Open Meeting law pandemic exemptions
Mike Seals - January 24, 2021 10:47 pm
Treat files separate bill to modernize the law
OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat filed legislation Thursday to extend exemptions to the state's Open Meeting Act that allowed public bodies to meet virtually during the coronavirus pandemic.
Treat said Senate Bill 1031 reinstates the same exemptions to the Open Meeting Act that were signed into law in 2020 but expired in November. He indicated his preference for the Legislature to fast-track the bill early in the legislative session.
"At the time, in-person gatherings were limited to very few people but we knew public bodies had to meet to conduct business. That's why the Legislature worked together to implement temporary exemptions to the Open Meeting laws to allow public bodies to meet virtually. The need remains for public bodies to continue to be able to meet virtually and Senate Bill 1031 reinstates the flexibility for public bodies to hold virtual public meetings until the pandemic is behind us," Treat said.
As written, the exemptions to the Open Meeting Act in SB 1031 would remain in place until the governor's emergency declaration expires, Treat said. He said the same procedures public bodies followed in 2020 related to these exemptions would be in place again under SB 1031.
Additionally, Treat filed Senate Bill 1032 which contains language to update the Open Meeting Act. Treat said he plans to work with stakeholders like the Oklahoma Municipal League and the Oklahoma Press Association on SB 1032 and that the bill would go through the typical legislative process.
"The temporary exemptions the Legislature passed last year gave public bodies flexibility to meet virtually and conduct business. Equally important, it increased transparency of those bodies by providing increased access to many more Oklahomans. More parents were able to virtually attend their local school board meetings. More taxpayers were able to follow the work of their local city and county governments. And it was all because meetings moved online due to the pandemic. So much of our life now is conducted online, and in the short-term will remain so due to the pandemic, it makes sense to carry forward the measures that brought increased access and transparency to government at all levels," Treat said.
SB 1032 requires all public meetings at a physical location include a virtual livestream for citizens to be able to view meetings virtually, unless the governmental entity faces technical or logistical difficulties. The bill also automatically allows for completely virtual public meetings immediately upon a declaration of emergency by the governor, in all counties covered by each emergency declaration.
