India's renewable energy sector powers the nation during COVID-19 pandemic
Kanika Verma
Policy & Outreach Specialist
The fight against the novel coronavirus has bought the entire country to a standstill. During the nationwide lockdown announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, only essential services are allowed to operate.
As India struggles with the lockdown, the government has taken measures to insulate the renewable energy sector as much as possible. Due to a sharp decline in commercial and industrial activity, there was a resulting decline in the power demand leading to shutdown of several thermal power plants in the country in order to match demand with supply.
With an ambitious target of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, India remains strong in its pursuits. However, with the decline in the demand for predictable and controllable power generation in the grid, the impact of increased share of unpredictable and intermittent renewable energy generation remains a matter of grave concern.
In anticipation of possible curtailment by various states, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) reiterated the must-run status accorded to renewable energy projects. Must-run status means that electricity retailers are obligated to buy all electricity generated from renewable energy projects irrespective of the cost or other parameters.
Recently, following the extension of the lockdown period till 3 May 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs has also allowed the construction of renewable energy projects in its revised guidelines. In a letter dated April 12, renewable energy project developers have also been granted an extension of commissioning deadlines by using the force majeure clause to seek an extension.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) , in an effort to make sure that payments for the renewable energy projects are not put in jeopardy, reiterated that all stakeholders involved in lending to the sector align their activities to strictly comply with its January 2019 order regarding the Approved List of Models & Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar cells and modules.
Additionally, in a bid to minimise the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the heavily import-dependent domestic solar industry, India has staged the launch of a new campaign to foster its domestic renewable manufacturing scene.
MNRE, in recent days, has requested state and port authorities to set aside land sites of 50 to 500 acres to set up new factories of renewable equipment, from solar cells and modules to silicon ingots and wafers, steel frames, inverters, and batteries.
According to MNRE, the engagement has been fruitful with the states of Madhya Pradesh and Odisha and port authorities in the southern city of Thoothukudi expressing "keen interest".
Moreover, the onset of the pandemic has not stopped state owned NHPC to hold a major solar auction. At a time of great uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 lockdown, this reaffirms investors' faith in the long-term prospects of solar energy in India. The auction reportedly saw strong competition during price bidding and was oversubscribed.
The 2-Gigawatt tender concluded at tariff lows of INR 2.55/kWh ($0.033/kWh). These tariffs are lower than the 2019 average. Even though a slowdown is expected in India's economic growth, the resulting tariffs indicate an optimistic view of the cost of financing of these projects by the developers.
According to news reports, the five winners at the auction were SB Energy (part of SoftBank), O2 Power (backed by private equity firm EQT and Singapore's Temasek), Axis Energy, Avaada Energy and EDEN Renewables (joint venture of Total Eren and EDF Renewables).
Shielding them from the current supply constraints on equipment and labour, the projects are expected to come online in 2022.
"During lockdown we kept our interaction with stakeholders alive through virtual platforms and also brought out new bids," Singh said. "This tariff is the result of several measures which we have undertaken during the past few months to enhance confidence of investors and to promote ease of doing business. We stand committed to minimizing the risk to investors".

Q: App not starting - React Native (Android) I was trying out React Native's Getting Started guide. After completing the installation, I tried to run the application.
It seems that while the application had successfully been deployed to the virtual device, the debugger did not attach / the app did not automatically start.
I am running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Any ideas?

Nothing happens, and I get the red screen of death when I try to run the application from the virtual device. I also explored this solution. Thanks in advance

A: Thought I would come back to close my question. My solution:
It seems that ADB had not been installed (didn't know this had to be done manually). Subsequently, I had to manually start the packager.
The actions I took:

*

*Install adb: sudo apt install adb

A key way to drive better performance than your competitors as you vie for consumer attention is by incorporating search intent signals.
In our Marin Software Holiday Guide, we detail things you can do to create powerful cross-channel campaigns using search intent audiences—and find new growth during the holidays and beyond.
Dimensions to Audiences: Roll up multiple similarly themed keywords and categories into one dimension, in order to avoid fragmenting audiences into very small sub-segments that deliver minimal reach on Facebook.
Make creatives consistent: Make sure your landing pages align with specific keywords, categories, or any other criteria.
Add the right optimization layers: Automatically increase or decrease your manual Facebook bids by a set percentage, based on ad performance versus your expressed CPA or ROI goal. Also, automatically allocate the right budget to the right ad sets.
Experiment with different ad formats and objectives: Use search intent to build new campaigns and expand to more specialized ad types and objectives; for example, you could combine search intent with Facebook Leads Ads to reduce CPA and increase lead quality.
Measure and refine: Use multi-touch attribution to measure across devices and channels and to deduplicate for accurate data.

It's not as if we didn't know what we were getting, right? Thursday's Twitter rant at Mika Brzezinski, the MSNBC co-host of the Morning Joe news program, didn't show us anything we weren't already aware of. This President is a chauvinistic, misogynistic sexist --- but we knew that. If you somehow missed what the Lothario-in-Chief tweeted yesterday, you can look it up (it ain't pretty). What we should really consider is how this man has surrounded himself with so many kowtowing, hypocritical sycophants, including members of his immediate family. First Lady Melania tweeted that when attacked, her husband would "punch back 10 times harder." This from the First Lady who said the primary issue she wants to work on is cyberbullying! Is the irony too great or are we living in some bizarre alternative universe? And what about Ivanka, the "Special Assistant" to the President? In Town & Country magazine just this week, regarding her role in the White House, she stated: "I instead like to focus on areas where I can add positive value, where I can contribute to the agenda. Policies around workforce development, around ensuring that barriers are removed from around the working family. Policies that enable that family to survive." Apparently that doesn't include families where the Mom is a morning news show host viciously attacked in her father's Tweets. Where are those "positive values" she's talking about?
And then there's Sarah (Chucklehead) Sanders, the Deputy Press Secretary, who comes from an Arkansas Bible-thumping family. When asked if she would use Trump as a Role Model for her kids, her response was: "When it comes to role models, as a person of faith, we all have one perfect role model. And when I've asked that question I point to God. I point to my faith. And that's where I would tell my kids to look. None of us are perfect. And certainly there's only one that is. And I would point that direction." Apparently she wouldn't point in Jesus's direction with all that stuff about being one's "brother's keeper" or "turning the other cheek" --- fairly well known adages from the New Testament. As Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out last evening on MSNBC, this White House seems to only have read the Old Testament with its "revenge" and "fire and brimstone" orientation. Their defense ("they attacked us first!") seems to go back farther than Hammurabi's 4,000 year old "eye for an eye" since, like his "I get two scoops to your one" table manners, they ascribe to "two eyes for an eye" in "punching back 10 times as hard." Of course, in the land of the Blind, the One-eyed Man is King.
Beyond the sheer grotesque, petty sexism, though, we have to consider more than what this reveals about a 71 year old man-child because, like it or not, he represents the United States, our country, to the rest of the World. What does this mean to our relations with Angela Merkel of Germany or Theresa May of Great Britain (or the 13 other female heads of state around the globe)? It is time for the Republicans and anyone else who believed "he'll grow into the office" to accept that this is who he is and he is not going to change. Look at his Cabinet! Of the 23 positions filled, only FOUR are women --- and that includes Nikki Haley at the United Nations and Linda McMahon of the Small Business Administration (we won't discuss Ben Carson being the only African American right now). At the Department of Transportation, of course, we have Mitch McConnell's wife (isn't that convenient!), Elaine Chao (a twofer for Donald, an Asian woman) and at the Department of Education we have super donor billionaire, Betsy DeVos (who required a Mike Pence tie-breaking vote to gain confirmation). And that leads to another problem with this President that, of course, has to do with telling the truth.
Remember all that "drain the swamp" campaign rhetoric and the vicious attacks on Hillary Clinton for speaking at Goldman Sachs for an exorbitant fee? And claiming Ted Cruz was in Goldman's pocket because his wife had worked there? How does that square with Bannon, Mnuchin, Cohn, Jay Clayton (Head of the Securities & Exchange Commission --- like the fox in the henhouse) and Dina Powell (Deputy National Security Advisor) --- all being Goldman Sachs alumni? Add Wilbur Ross and Rex Tillerson (and the list goes on, of course) and we see that all that campaign rhetoric was just that --- rhetoric to pull the wool over the low information, we-hate-the-Establishment voters. As "Verbal" Kint told us in The Usual Suspects, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." We now have a President who tells us he will "drain the swamp" and then populates his Cabinet with Swamp Creatures --- and his "base" applauds what a shrewd wheeler-dealer he is. If you have seen that movie then you know that, like Keyser Soze, our President has spent a lifetime convincing people he is someone he is not --- and has profited greatly in doing so.

Colin Fry, medium - obituary
Medium who toured the world with his 'spirit guide' Magnus
Colin Fry Photo: Rex Features
Colin Fry, who has died aged 53, was a self-proclaimed medium who relayed messages from "the dead" to audiences in Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Japan; on British satellite television he featured in such "paranormal reality" shows as Most Haunted and 6ixth Sense.
Viewers hoping for dire warnings from beyond the grave would be disappointed. A warm and charismatic performer, Fry's stage pronouncements tended towards the prosaic. Bereaved grandchildren were instructed to tidy their rooms; dead parents reassured their offspring that the end had been relatively peaceful.
Sceptics countered that Fry's main talent lay in basic "cold reading" techniques – the art of analysing body language in order to make high-probability guesses about a person. In 1992 Fry was caught out at a seance when the lights were turned on unexpectedly, revealing that he was still holding a "spirit trumpet" that was meant to be suspended in mid-air. Fry later put the incident down to his relative inexperience at the time. He also denied any suggestions of exploitation, pointing to his training as a bereavement counsellor. Members of his audience were encouraged to seek professional help if Fry felt they were struggling to cope with their loss.
Though he had initially refused to appear on television on the grounds that most programmes made fun of spiritualism, Fry gave in when he was approached by producers at the age of 40. The format of the shows, however, tended once again towards the banal. A message broadcast before 6ixth Sense admitted that "differing opinions exist as to the true nature of clairvoyance and clairaudience". None the less, the subject has proved adaptable to the small screen. Most Haunted completed its 17th series in 2015.
Colin Fry in 2006
Colin Fry was born on May 19 1962 in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. His mother, Margaret, a student nurse, had intended to remain at home after the birth but suffered from post-partum depression and decided that work would be beneficial. Colin was raised in large part by his maternal grandmother, Lilian, with whom he shared a close – he would say psychic – bond.
From an early age, Colin became aware of an ability to perceive things that other members of his family could not. A vision of an old man – "like a taller, slightly thinner version of [Doctor Who] William Hartnell" – at the foot of his bed was a first glimpse of "Magnus", who would become Fry's proclaimed "spirit guide" in adulthood. Aged four, Colin announced to the table at teatime that "Old Nanny", his great-grandmother, had died. A telegram to that effect arrived the next day.
After leaving school at 16 without any qualifications, Fry worked in the retail industry while giving demonstrations at spiritualist churches. But it was not until his stepbrother, Michael, died of Aids in 1996 that he resolved to become a full-time medium. Fry had nursed Michael for many years, and saw a chance to keep the relationship intact. "But he's very clever," he explained in 2003: "He'll often pass messages to me through other mediums."
Fry went on to become a reverend of the Spiritualist Church, and wrote several books on spiritual and mental well-being. A memoir, The Happy Medium, was published in 2012. The title seemed to contradict a life that had had its share of physical hardship. He became partially deaf aged 23 and relied on hearing aids in later years. Last April he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
A heavy smoker, he recalled an earlier encounter with a fellow spiritualist, who disapproved: "This old love said to me: 'That'll kill you, you know.' I replied: 'My love, do you honestly think that bothers me? I know where I'm going.'"
Colin Fry is survived by his civil partner, Mikey.

Imagine that communication is not a thing of words, but of the body. And that the body does not speak in personal gestures, but through the energy of movement itself. It is precisely on this primal power of the body and the mounting energy of intuitively driven movement that Andrea Miltnerová and Jan Komárek have focussed. This movement composition is another step forward in the long-term dance research of this artistic duo. They search in Tranzmutation for new ways to shed what is normally considered dance movement. Their fragile tale is an invitation to the borderline between destructive potential and exhilaration: Tranzmutation is a tour of the borderlands between self-destruction and transcendence.
Tranzmutation got finacial support from Czech Ministry of Culture and Motus, producers of the Alfred ve dvoře Theatre.
Her contemporary dance solo Dance of the Magnetic Ballerina was selected by the prestigious European network Aerowaves as one of their priority performances for 2013. It has been successfully presented at numerous festivals and theatres throughout Europe for example: Aerowaves Spring Forward (Zürich Tanzt), East Gate Europe 2 festival Denmark, Paradiso (Julidans) in Amsterdam, euro-scene Leipzig, Unidram Potsdam, Kammermachen Chemnitz, International Dance Festival Bonn, Crossroads Antwerp, International Theatre Festival Sibiu Romania, Plai International Music Festival in Timișoara Romania, Guerilla Light Festival in Ljubljana, Manipulate Edinburgh, The Place Theatre London and The Old Vic Theatre Bristol England and is invited to the Kuopio International Dance Festival in Finland and to Italy and France. Her deep interest in the baroque led her to collaborate on the reconstruction of baroque operas and to create her own performances based on movement analysis and ethnochoreographic research, for example The Baroque Body Revealed, Pentimento and Vertical Horizontal. She has worked as a director, choreographer and dancer with the early music ensembles Collegium 1704 and Collegium Marianum. She has danced in baroque operas at the National Theatre, at the baroque Castle Theatre in Český Krumlov and in festivals in Germany, Slovenia and Hungary. She is currently working with French choreographer Françoise Denieau, performing in her productions throughout France, including Paris (Opéra Comique) and Versailles (Opéra Royale), in Luxembourg, Switzerland (Lausanne), London (The Barbican) and Moscow (Bolshoi).
Jan Komárek studied painting and graphic design at the School of Applied Arts in Prague. He worked in various different fields, as well as composing music for theatre and puppet theatre. After emigrating to France, he formed Mimo Theatre, creating puppet theatre for both adults and children, performing himself as puppeteer and clown. In 1983 Jan moved to Toronto, Canada, where, together with composer Rainer Wiens he founded Sound Image Theatre, using actors as well as dancers and various performers to create image based, poetic performances with live music. He received several prestigious Dora Mayor Awards for Best Play, Best Set and Lighting Design and Best Music. He gradually started to work as lighting designer for other professional theatre companies, particularly in the dance field in Toronto and Montreal. In 2001, Jan moved back to Prague, where he became known on the alternative scene for his own shows and lighting design. He was voted 'Theatre Personality of the Year 2009' by the … příští vlna/next wave… Festival and was awarded first prize for Lighting Design by an international jury at the 2010 Tanec Praha Festival. In Jan's creations, sound, light and movement are inseparable elements and are created together. He draws his inspiration from images, be they paintings, drawings or photographs, as well as from the look and personality of the individual performers.

She may not be a Legionnaire, but Nia Nal (Nicole Maines) is ready to become a hero as The CW debuts this first look photo of the character in her Dreamer costume.
The character — loosely based on the Legion of Superheroes' Dream Girl created by Edmond Hamilton and John Forte — has always been on a heroic trajectory since she was first announced. In this Sunday's episode, Brainiac 5 (Jesse Rath) will suggest she become a "superfriend." A trailer for the series return released earlier this week also teased the costume.
Nia will become Dreamer, television's first transgender superhero, on the Feburary 7th episode, "Menagerie." The January 27th episode, "Blood Memory," will offer the secret origin of her powers and introduce her family, which includes her mother Isabel (Kate Burton) and sister Maeve (Hannah James). All three are from Naltor, which will be familiar to Legion fans as the home planet of Dream Girl. On that world, 1000 years from now, the citizens all enjoy precognitive abilities. But on Supergirl, that power is a little more selective.
Considering Brainy's apparent familiarity with Dream Girl, his attempt to turn Nia into a hero may have an effect in both time zones.
Supergirl returns Sunday on the CW.

Ellis Island of the West
by Laurie McAndish King August 29, 2016
JOE CHAN WANTS to meet you. He has a story to tell.
Joe's parents both entered the United States at Angel Island before he was born, and Joe grew up hearing their stories. He has since become an expert in the history of the Angel Island Immigration Station, and he volunteers as a docent, sharing the story of his family — and that of hundreds of thousands of other families — with visitors from around the world.
Remnants of those stories are still visible at the immigration station. The barracks display historical re-creations of immigrants' living quarters, including a men's game room that houses a ping-pong table, record player and mahjong tiles. With a little gentle prodding, Joe will show you his parents' Certificates of Identity, reproduced as delicate photo-etchings on a commemorative monument that lies between the old barracks and the sea.
Known as the Ellis Island of the West, the Angel Island Immigration Station processed nearly a million immigrants from 82 countries between 1910 and 1940. But their treatment was in sharp contrast to the immigration experience implied by the famous poem that is nearly synonymous with Ellis Island:
… Give me your tired,
your poor,
Your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse
of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless,
tempest-tost to me …
For many Asian travelers entering through Angel Island, "processing" was a frightening ordeal. A high barbed-wire fence surrounded the Immigration Station, and gun towers guarded its perimeter. Families were separated — men in one section, women and children in another. At one time the Asian men's barracks, designed to accommodate 56 people, housed more than 200.
Inside the barracks, narrow metal bunks were stacked three high, with suitcases stashed into corners and laundry hanging at all angles. The newcomers were required to strip, en masse, for physical exams and had to use the restrooms in groups and on a schedule. Many were denied mattresses to sleep on.
The average length of stay on Angel Island was three-and-a-half weeks, but some immigrants were detained for nearly two years as they waited for their entry papers to be approved. (The average processing time for the 12 million people who entered the U.S. through Ellis Island, by way of comparison, was just three-and-a-half hours.)
On the immigration station's website, Lina Fong recounts the story of her mother's 17-day stay at Angel Island: "Many people committed suicide in the restroom. She was scared to go. Every day there was someone crying. She felt like those were the worst times of her life."
In part, the difficult circumstances were an understandable, if very unfortunate, result of overcrowding. But the Angel Island facility also enforced policies like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. As the name indicates, the policy was designed to exclude, rather than embrace, immigrants from China; Americans were afraid Chinese laborers would take their jobs. The result was that the Angel Island Immigration Station — also called "The Guardian of the Western Gate" — became a holding station for Chinese immigrants hoping to enter the country.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first law preventing a specific ethnic group from immigrating to the United States. It was followed by laws intended to limit the immigration of Japanese, Indian and Filipino people and was later strengthened by the Immigration Act of 1924, which instituted a quota system restricting immigration of Russians, Greeks, Italians, Spanish, Eastern Europeans, Africans, Arabs and East Asians in an attempt "to preserve the ideal of American homogeneity." We still use the quota system today.
It was a quirk of fate — and poetry — that led to the preservation of the Angel Island Immigration Station (the station was awarded National Historic Landmark status in 1997). Closed after a fire in 1940 and slated for demolition in 1970, the detention barracks were preserved because of the discovery of Chinese poetry carved into their splintered wooden walls. Here's one such poem:
Why should anyone complain
If he is imprisoned here?
From ancient times, heroes often were
The first ones to face adversity.
Joe points out a few of the more than 200 poems and poetry fragments that have been painstakingly restored. He reads some aloud in Chinese, remarking on the attention to rhythm and classical form, the nuanced historical references, and the calligraphers' skill and artistry.
The poetry here helps to preserve a record of immigration history, but the museum serves an even more important purpose: it reminds us of our national struggle to accept immigrants and embrace ethnic diversity. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, said, "We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions, bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Whoever seeks to set one nationality against another, seeks to degrade all nationalities. Whoever seeks to set one race against another seeks to enslave all races. Whoever seeks to set one religion against another, seeks to destroy all religion."
Whether you're seeking to understand more about the immigrant experience, provide a civics lesson for the kids, or learn a little history on a day trip to Angel Island, the Immigration Station is worth a visit. Be sure to say hello to Joe if you see him.
Ferries to Angel Island run from Tiburon (Angel Island Ferry), San Francisco (Blue & Gold Fleet), and Oakland/Alameda (Blue & Gold Fleet). The Immigration Station is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; admission is $5 for adults and $3 for youth. The station is a 1.5-mile walk from the ferry landing at Ayala Cove.

Q: Node.js/mongoose: undefined is not a function I have this MEAN app in which the users can upload their photograph. Here is the route for that:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var passport = require('passport');
var User = require('../models/user');
var Verify = require('./verify');
var multiPart = require('connect-multiparty');
var multiPartMiddleWare = new multiPart();
var fs = require('fs-extra');
var path = require('path');

  router.post('/edit', multiPartMiddleWare ,function(req, res) {
  var file = req.files.file;
  theuser = req.body.username;
  console.log("User " + theuser + "..." + file);

  var uploadDate = new Date();
  console.log(file.path + '\n')
  var tempPath = file.path;
  var finalPath = path.join(__dirname, "../userphotos/", theuser + file.name);
  console.log(finalPath);
  var savePath = "/userphotos/" + theuser + uploadDate + file.name;

  fs.rename(tempPath, finalPath, function (err){
       if (err){
           console.log(err)
       } else {
           User.find({"username":theuser}, function(err, userData){
               var userd = userData;
               userd.image = savePath;
               console.log('\n' + userd + '\n'); // the userd is proper
               userd.save(function(err){ //Error occurs HERE
                   if (err){
                       console.log("Error whilst saving file: " + err)
                       res.json({status: 500})
                   } else {
                       console.log("Image saved");

                       res.json({status: 200})
                    }
                  })
              })
          }
      })
});

The image gets saved to my temp folder as well as the destination. However, when I try to save the source in to the user document, I get a undefined is not a function.
Here is my mongoose route:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var passportLocalMongoose = require('passport-local-mongoose');

var User = new Schema({
    username: {
        type: String,
        unique: true
    },
    password: String,
    image:   {
        type: String
    },
    bio:   {
        type: String
    }
});

User.plugin(passportLocalMongoose);

module.exports = mongoose.model('User', User);

How do I resolve this issue?

A: I think you're using wrong function here:
User.find({"username":theuser}, function(err, userData){ ...

Try
User.findOne({"username":theuser}, function(err, userData){ ...

A: You are using User.find() which returns an array, and hence you cannot save it. You can use userData[0] to get the first User from the array or just use User.findOne() which will also return the first User matched.

A: Change this var userd = userData; to var userd = userData[0]; . userData got array of several document (may include only one doc in array) so need to get one document to do modifications.

"The politically incorrect need not be educationally inappropriate"
The dissent note by a member of a government appointed committee reviewing textbooks of political science avers that the pedagogic intent and methods of the NCERT textbooks are sound and they encourage critical dialogue among learners.
It is hardly possible, in my considered opinion, to identify "educationally inappropriate material" in the textbooks under review, without taking into account the pedagogic intent and the pedagogical methods of these books.
Firstly, in the light of the National Curriculum Framework 2005, the former director of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), professor Krishna Kumar, notes in the foreword to each of these textbooks,
Treating the textbook as the sole basis of examination is one of the key reasons why other resources and sites of learning are ignored. Inculcating creativity and initiative is possible if we perceive and treat children as participants in learning, not as receivers of a fixed body of knowledge.
In other words, the pedagogical intent of these textbooks is to treat learning as a series of creative and critical acts in interpretation, mediated both by the classroom and the wider world. For instance, in Democratic Politics – I: Textbook in Political Science for Class IX, the advisors to these textbooks write,
…You may encounter many contentious themes during this tour. Our attempt here is not to hand over a definite opinion to the students but to enable them to think on their own.
This is precisely why the textbooks under review, without being treated as self-standing and as the only source of knowledge and learning, encourages learners to read magazines such as Frontline, India Today, Outlook and The Week (see Contemporary World Politics: Textbook in Political Science for Class XII), consult online sources (Democratic Politics –I: Textbook in Political Science for Class IX), read newspapers and collect different types of information (Democratic Politics – I: Textbook in Political Science for Class IX).
Again, the visual material in the books – postal stamps, photographs, advertisements, cartoons etc. -- are selected and arranged in such a manner that these textbooks do not "hand over a definite opinion to the students but to enable them to think on their own." Referring to this particular role of the visuals in the textbooks, Democratic Politics – I: Textbook in Political Science for Class IX, for instance, notes,
Munni and Unni are two characters specially designed for the book by cartoonist Irfan Khan. The two of them keep appearing every now and then to ask all kinds of questions: impish, irrelevant, irreverent or even impossible. The questions are sparked off by the points made in the text. But in most cases you will not find the answer in the textbook itself… They give the space to take a detour and get into a side discussion that is often richer than the main one…
Critical Dialogue
In other words, the visual materials in the textbooks do not merely illustrate the text, but engage with it in a critical dialogue, opening up spaces for the learners to inquire, question, and interpret. Given this pedagogical method, the text and the visuals in these books cannot work independent of each other. In a manner of speaking, only in the mutuality of the text and the visuals, these textbooks realise their pedagogical intent. Doing them apart will be pedagogically deleterious. Let me add here, the visuals do not spare even the textbook writers. In Indian Constitution at Work: Textbook in Political Science for Class XI, Irfan Khan's Unni poses,
Am I just a figurehead or am I asking real questions? Did the textbook writers give me power to ask questions I wish to ask or am I asking questions they have in their mind?
Finally, the National Curriculum Framework 2005 also places emphasis on "values enshrined in the Constitutions of India" as one of the foundational principles of school-level pedagogy. The textbooks consciously and splendidly capture these values. Let me offer two instances from Democratic Politics – I: Textbook in Political Science for Class IX. It offers the learners following set of reasons justifying democracy as a political system: "Democratic government is a better government because it is a more accountable form of government."; "…democracy improves the quality of decision making."; "Democracy provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts."; "Democracy enhances the dignity of citizens."; "…democracy is better than other forms of government because it allows us to correct its own mistakes." All these statements are highlighted in the book by employing bold typefaces.
What is more, one of the exercises given to the learners, asks the learners to do the following:
"Form different groups in your class and collect different types of information (news clippings, articles, photographs, cartoons, etc.) about struggle for democracy in any country that is currently not democratic."
Yet, it is common knowledge that politics on ground strays away often from "values enshrined in the Constitutions of India". In the spirit of upholding these values, the books invite the learners – often by means of political cartoons – to reflect seriously on these real-life deviations in politics.
Against this backdrop of the pedagogical intent and method of these textbooks – which are indeed imaginative exercises in critical pedagogy – I read all the textbooks with care, and from my own location as a teacher, as a parent, and as someone who has a steadfast commitment to certain kind of transformative politics. While reading these textbooks, I did take into account the suggestions by subject experts and the concerns expressed by political parties, educational and other NGOs, and public intellectuals. After the rewarding exercise of reading them, I do not find – let me confess, contrary to my expectation -- anything educationally inappropriate in them; and they should be used as they are.
This, however, does not mean, these textbooks are forever. Like everything else -- be it life, society or political icons -- these books will court redundancy over time. In my judgment, that time is not yet. After all, what is often being perceived as "politically incorrect" need not be "educationally inappropriate".

Is WATCHMAN is Right for You?
Call Concord Hospital Cardiac Associates at (603) 224-6070 ext. 5008 to speak with our nurse coordinator.
If you have atrial fibrillation (AFib) you may be a candidate for WATCHMAN™ — a new device offering an effective alternative to blood thinners for AFib patients.
WATCHMAN Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) is an implantable device that blocks the left atrial appendage, so blood doesn't pool there and form blood clots that cause blockages or stroke. The tiny wire and mesh device is threaded through a blood vessel into the heart, where it blocks blood from entering the left atrial appendage.
If you can't take blood thinning medication, WATCHMAN is an effective alternative. It can help you in several ways. It reduces stroke risk if you're unable to take blood thinners. If you do take blood thinners it can help you avoid Emergency Department visits because of uncontrolled bleeding. More importantly, even though it is impossible to cite specific numbers, doctors know the device has saved patients who otherwise would have had a stroke.
WATCHMAN is implanted into your heart in a one-time procedure. To implant WATCHMAN, Dr. Adam Chodosh makes a small cut in your upper leg and inserts a narrow tube, as done in a standard stent procedure. Your doctor then guides WATCHMAN into your heart's left atrial appendage. The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes about an hour. Most patients undergoing the WATCHMAN procedure stay one night in the Hospital.
In a clinical trial, 9 out of 10 people were able to stop taking warafin medication just 45 days after the WATCHMAN procedure. During the 45 day period, heart tissue grows over the implant to form a barrier against blood clots.
Concord Hospital Center for Cardiac Care is among the first in New Hampshire to offer patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation an alternative to long-term warfarin medication with the WATCHMAN Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) implant. Dr. Adam Chodosh and Dr. Patrick Magnus of Concord Hospital Cardiac Associates are the cardiologists at Concord Hospital currently performing this procedure.
In March 2017, Ted Bailey of Chichester became the 11th WATCHMAN patient at Concord Hospital Center for Cardiac Care. Within weeks, he no longer was taking blood thinners, while the WATCHMAN made sure no clots could form in his heart.

Two-Vehicle Accident Claims One Life
Written by Debbie Gregory
Published: Wednesday, April 28,2010
A 43-year-old Macon County man was killed and several others seriously injured, following a Saturday afternoon, April 24, two-vehicle accident at the bottom of the Westmoreland Ridge on Highway 31 East. Billy Randall Likens, of Lafayette, was a passenger in a 1989 Pontiac driven by Ms. Freida Beth Polson, which collided with a 1998 Isuza Rodeo on the rain slick highway with poor visibility.
According to the officer's report, the Isuzu, with Ms. Heather Evans behind the wheel, was traveling northbound on Hwy. 31 E, when she hydroplaned and veered into the lane of the southbound Pontiac, which was unable to stop and struck the vehicle on the passengers side. The Isuzu continued on across the pavement finally coming to rest in a ditch on the south side of the roadway, while the Pontiac remained in its lane of travel.
Ms. Evans was transported to Sumner Regional, in Gallatin, Tennessee, by ambulance and is listed in stable condition and her two passengers, Michael and Bradley Evans were treated at the scene and released. Ms. Polson and her front seat passenger, Billy Likens, were both transported to Sumner Regional Medical Center listed in critical condition and later transferred to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, where Mr. Likens passed away. The rear seat passengers, Stevie Polston and Bethany Pryor, were transported by ambulance to the Sumner Regional E.R. and are listed in stable condition.
The investigating officers were Deputy Brian Hutherson and Officer David Arnett.
Funeral services for Mr. Billy Randall Likens are scheduled for Wednesday, April 28th, at 11:00 a.m. from the chapel of Alexander Funeral Home, in Lafayette, with Brother Tony Whittemore officiating and interment will follow in the Haysville Cemetery. He is survived by one son, Billy Randall Likens, Jr.; mother Irene Gass; sister, Angela (Billy) Bandy; brothers, Matthew Likens and Brandon Likens; grandson, Lewis Hayden Likens; and special friend, Freida Polson all of Lafayette.

Trash': Gingrich Responds to WaPo Writer Trying to Dig Up Dirt on Him
"The news media's never quite found itself as excited about the facts about Barack Obama."
Newt Gingrich has a message for major news outlets looking to smear him by digging up statements and transgressions from his past: Why not first look into the past of the man who's currently in the Oval Office?
On Monday, Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake reached out to his followers on Twitter for help in finding damaging remarks made by surging GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich:
The ordeal is reminiscent of an incident earlier this year during which the Post and The New York Times asked readers to help dig for dirt in the 24,000 pages of emails released from Sarah Palin's time as governor of Alaska.
While the search for damaging information produced little ammo for liberals, the call for volunteers to help smear the Republican governor drew criticism from conservatives who have long alleged a left-leaning bias from the so-called "main stream media."
When asked during a radio interview what he thought about Blake's tweet, Gingrich said he's not surprised.
"I think that you have to expect that kind of trash," said Gingrich. He went on to say that he's been honest about his past and that he has had to ask for forgiveness for some of the things he has done.
"It's a little sad to see a paper the quality of the Washington Post stoop to that, which used to be the National Enquirer approach to life. But that's just the nature of where we are today," he said.
Gingrich commented that rather than "crowd-sourcing" into his past, the media should account for where they have come short in carrying out the appropriate investigation into the president.
"I wish they would crowd-source to discover what he did at Columbia University, and I wish they would crowd-source to figure out what he did with Saul Alinsky's ideas on the South Side of Chicago," Gingrich said. "But the news media's never quite found itself as excited about the facts about Barack Obama. Would rather worry about rumors about conservatives than facts about the President."
Gingrich pointed out that it is "absurd" how little Americans know about the president's life after he left Hawaii, in particular what he did in Chicago.

An exporting company that offers its customer credit and guarantees the credit risk with EKN, can sell or pledge guaranteed receivables to a bank. The rights under the guarantee are then transferred to the bank. The exporting company notifies EKN of the transfer and if payment fails, EKN pays compensation to the bank.
An exporting company that offers its customer credit and guarantees the credit risk with EKN, can sell or pledge the guaranteed receivables to the bank. Then the rights under the guarantee are transferred to the bank. The export company notifies EKN of the transfer and if payment fails, EKN pays out compensation to the bank.
In the event of a transfer, EKN offers the bank supplementary conditions for the Guarantee for loss on claim for exporters, credit period over 12 months. These supplementary conditions aim to make it possible for a bank that buys or takes EKN-guaranteed receivables as security to record the risk in the transaction as a risk at EKN, that is, the Swedish state, in accordance with the EU capital adequacy rules.
In order for the supplementary conditions to be applicable, the bank must ensure that the buyer accepts that the payment obligation is independent from the export contract. This can be documented directly in the export contract or in, for example, a bill of exchange, promissory note or letter of credit.
For the supplementary conditions, the exporting company and the bank fill in the form Notice of transfer/pledge of rights and send to EKN.

↑ Scintilla does not properly support right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. While text in these languages may appear correct, it is not possible to interact with this text as is normal with other editing components.
↑ The XMLTools plugin facilitates checking XML syntax and validation, e.g. to an external schema such as for OSIS. XMLTools also has various options to "pretty print" and linarize (sic) the XML.
↑ SC Unipad makes no use of installed Windows fonts. Rendering is implemented within the editor itself. Supports Unicode 4.1.0 only. The free edition is session time limited.
↑ BabelPad is a free Unicode text editor for Windows that supports the proper rendering of most complex scripts, and allows you to assign different fonts to different scripts in order to facilitate multi-script text editing.

Debut album 'Wheel of Steel' showcases the outer limits of lap steel guitar.
Velocihamster, the brainchild of Midwest musician/producer Sean Williamson, has released a hilarious (and seriously cool) playthrough video for the song "Roar." You can watch it above.
Dubbed "the world's only lap steel metal band," Williamson is celebrating the release of his debut LP, Wheel of Steel, a collection of songs that showcases the true outer limits of lap steel guitar.
In the clip above, the guitarist transforms his lap steel into a metal machine—complete with palm muting and breakneck solos—stripping the instrument of any country-sounding stereotypes. Williamson hopes to change common perceptions of the lap steel with Wheel of Steel—and we'd say he's off to a great start with "Roar."
