Blackjack (also known as Twenty-one) is the King of California card games. Just like Vegas, we offer double down, split, and surrender options. Much of Blackjack's popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill. The Normandie is currently the ONLY card club in L.A. that pays 3 to 2, or 150%, on Blackjack.
Baccarat is a simple game with only three possible results - Player, Banker, and Tie. Players may bet on either the player or the banker, and the object is to form a hand with the sum of its cards equal or as close to "9" as possible.
Three Card Poker is becoming a favorite new table game. Players are discovering that it's not only easy to play, but it's a lot of fun. The object is to beat the player/dealer in a three-card poker game. The optional Bonus Bet also makes this game popular; a royal flush pays 200 to 1.
Pai Gow Poker is the most popular California action game. You must divide your seven cards into two poker hands, a two-card hand and a five-card hand. The combination of skill and luck is what makes this game so fascinating.
Pai Gow Tiles is an exciting, fast-paced game that is played with 32 tiles (rather than cards). This game, with ancient roots in China, is as popular as ever. Once familiar with the simple rankings, the game becomes easy to play.
The object of Pan 9 is to have a total value of 9, or as close to 9 as possible, by adding up the value of your cards. The Pan 9 deck is dealt using twelve (12) decks totaling 432 cards. Starting with a regular 52-card deck, the 7's, 8's, 9's, and 10's are removed.
Seven Card Stud is a classic American favorite. Objective is to obtain the best five-card hand using any combination of your three hole cards and four up cards.
California Lowball is a form of draw poker in which the lowest hand wins. The best hand is A-2-3-4-5. Lowball is played with a standard 52 card deck, plus a joker, which is considered the lowest card not already in the player's hand.
Omaha is similar to Texas Hold'em except that each player is dealt four hole cards instead of two, and makes separate high and low hands.

What's the best way to meet real estate agents?
I have read with interest your answer to the person who does not want to do business with real estate agents. I agree with your answers. But my problem is that I can't seem to meet agents and the ones I do meet do not produce much business. What is the best way to meet real estate agents?
Thanks for reading the column. Your question is a logical follow-up to the previous question. I will start with a good news/bad news scenario. The good news is that there are around 2 million licensed realtors in the United States. That means they are everywhere. The bad news is that only about one in ten is very productive. Thus, if you meet real estate agents randomly, there is only a one-in-ten chance that they will be productive. So, the question that follows is, how do you meet more productive agents?
Since they are everywhere, I would always start with your sphere. Even your refinance clients typically know a real estate agent – who sold them their home? So do your neighbors, family members and best friends. So, all you need to do is ask. You can even meet agents through mutual contacts on LinkedIn – or try the commonality angle. Which agents on LinkedIn went to your high school or college, come from your hometown or attend your church?
The vendors you deal with are likely to know more agents than other contacts. For example, if you are a loyal referrer to an attorney or settlement company, then they will know plenty of real estate agents and more importantly, they know which ones are productive. Speaking of being productive, meeting an agent is not enough. You need to do the research necessary to determine if they are the right agent. We will address that issue next week.


Am I merely an assemblage of memories and experiences or was there something in me at the beginning of my inception as a human being? How does one find one's purest self, unclouded from the world of prejudices and judgments and tastes?
Throughout our human existence, the world entices us toward her opinions, religions, and ways of being. When we die, we shed all these artificial garments of self as snakes shed their skin or trees their foliage.
One might ask themselves when am I my most authentic self, and when am I pretending?
This leads me on to a related question: why do we like what we like? Why is my inclination towards folk and not rap? Why do I have a propensity for staying up till the wee hours of the morning? We attribute some of these elements of ourselves to genetics, our families, environment growing up, and what we were or weren't exposed to. Sometimes we look to astrology or the belief in a past life to explain who we are and why our thoughts and minds shape into a particular form. Once all of these fixtures fall away, are you left with a skeleton of yourself? What truly makes you, you?
In my humble opinion, herein lies the greatest purpose of a singular human life: to create one's destiny out of the rubbish of the old world's stale opinions and breath, to breathe new life into the body marred by a parent's love or lack therein; to sculpt into new form the mind out of the genetic material one arrived on this planet with; to confer with one's heart and find it beating to one's own drum; to pull the planets and stars down and give them new names.
The greatest achievement for the human being is to write their own creation myth and mold themselves into something utterly new, a force to be reckoned with.

Q: How to avoid the error Expected 1 argument but got 0 on Typescript This is my JavaScript function
function movements(remove) {
    var op = remove ? 'remove' : 'add';
    crossvent[op](documentElement, 'selectstart', preventGrabbed); // IE8
    crossvent[op](documentElement, 'click', preventGrabbed);
}     function move(value) {

And this is how it's called
movements();

You can find reference for in jkanban.js file.
Now I have to change it to Typescript and I got this error on function calling,
Expected 1 arguments, but got 0

How can I resolve this problem in typescript ?

A: Simply add the question mark to the argument that requires your function, example:
function movements(remove?) {
    // ...
}

A: You need to specify the input for calling movements().
You can set default to the variable using this:
function movements(remove = null) {

so that the function won't break even if you don't give it the input.
You can default it to anything you like though.

Gender and the digital
Posted on 13/07/2018 by Manolis Patiniotis
BRIEF COMMUNICATION presented at the international workshop Women in the History of Science, Philosophy and Literature that took place in Syros, Greece, 12-14 July 2018.
The underlying question of this workshop is what do we learn if we adopt a gender-sensitive perspective, that we do not learn from the mainstream narratives in history of science, philosophy and literature? Stories of women who thrived in philosophy can surely be found in the mainstream history of philosophy – often combined with the politically-correct lament for the inferior status they enjoyed; but it is indeed difficult to find a history of philosophy that takes seriously into account the gendered ways of philosophizing. After all, philosophy is philosophy and science is science. Truth about the world and about being in the world does not depend on gender, class, race etc. It is a hard-core result that can be reached through various ways, but is always the same.
Of course, all of us who participate in this meeting know very well that this is an obsolete approach and that historiography has moved far beyond this point. However, we should not fool ourselves: Stories in the press, stories taught at schools, reproduced in the public sphere and even the commonsensical perception of history of science and philosophy have it this way. They defend women's position and even assert their right to enjoy equal treatment by historians, but they are unable to escape the limits of the established perspective. If we take some distance from our disciplinary borders, we'll soon come to realize that we are just an islet in an ocean of trivial feminism.
So, we are here because all of us have worked to raise this thick veil. Others by showing that philosophy is gendered; others by bringing forward the gendered nature of technology; and others, like myself and George, by simply coming across histories of women who personified alternative ways of doing science and philosophy in an otherwise male-dominated context. Speaking of my encounter with Mme du Châtelet, whose ideas were dearly adopted by two 18th-century Greek-speaking priests and scholars, I must confess that I was impressed by the realization that in the 18th century there was already an alternative paradigm in philosophy supported by a distinctly feminine network; feminine not in the sense of women's participation, but in the sense of openly giving priority to emotional involvement and aesthetic preferences, rather than to detachment, impartiality and reason: an embarrassment for philosophy, of course, which in the course of time was "resolved" through the establishment of professional institutions and the exclusion of such factors from scientific and philosophical communication.
However, I think that the feminine paradigm was not altogether suppressed by these developments, but stuck around throughout the history of modern philosophy. I am not a specialist, but I assume that we can see it in the case of phenomenology, which at times has been considered itself a departure from the main body of Western philosophy. I will only mention the (dear to me) example of Donna Haraway's epistemology. On the antipodes of the Cyclopean gaze that guarantees objectivity, Haraway asserts the fluid nature of both object and subject of knowledge: "Objects are boundary projects" and subjects can acquire knowledge only by blurring their own boundaries and merging with the objects: through sympathy and immersion. Partial and situated knowledge is the "relevant alternative" (to borrow Dretske's term) to the masculine-capitalist way of viewing and knowing.
But on top of all this, Haraway employs a paradoxical concept to make her point: modular prosthesis. Humans throughout history have developed tools to extend their bodily skills and dominate the world. But at a certain point they moved beyond that level. They acquired the ability to develop technologies that transformed their bodily experience, their way of being in and feeling the world. Technologies that did not extend their power to control the world, but that could transform themselves as sentient beings. This development enabled them to experience identity as a project, to assert the right to reinvent themselves and negotiate the boundaries between natural and artificial, human and animal, organism and machine. They became flexible, fluid, changeable, modular. They became freaks; or women; or women to be: because they gave up the privilege to sustain a well-defined self, a stable ego that would be their vehicle to penetrate the world.
Although Donna Haraway wrote her most influential works in the eighties, her thought captured the dynamics of the digital revolution, and her simians-cyborgs-women scheme were to be further developed through the notion of inforg (Floridi) in the digital era. The female qualities of knowing and being in the world acquire a new meaning in the digital context. The screen (or the interface, to be more precise) becomes the mirror, where one reflects not to confirm but to transform one's identity. It becomes the magic mirror that sustains the ability of the individuals to decompose their selves and rebuild them as assemblages of deliberately selected features ("Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"); to repeatedly deterritorialize and territorialize their being-as-person in the world. So far in history, only women were apt to such "cosmetic surgery". Men, particularly men of science, were well-formed individuals who pursued knowledge and control by becoming more of themselves. Ironically, the digital revolution calls for a radical reconsideration of the dominant perspective. In order to fully participate in the digital sphere one needs to embrace certain crucial aspects of the feminine paradigm in epistemology and philosophy.
So, we can trace a continuous… dotted line in history of science. The long ignored but always present undercurrent of feminine epistemology resurfaces by virtue of the technoscientific transformation not of the world, but of our way to understand what counts as natural. This is an important moment in the history of knowledge. Not only because the time has come to do justice to the contribution of so many women in science and philosophy, but also because the gender issue is being recast in a radically new way. The digital era enables two different approaches to the use of technology. For reasons that I cannot explain here I will call them processual and instrumentalist. Although none of them is homogeneous or politically straightforward, it is clear that they move toward entirely different directions. The processual approach, which is kin to the feminine perspective, involves the notion of reinvention of the self, as described above. The instrumentalist approach, on the other hand, revolves around the notion of innovation as it is applied in industry and technoscientific research. People who adopt this view do not see something really new in the digital condition, beyond the capability to realize projects that other technologies were unable to sustain. It is this group of people who are surprised by fake news and take precautions against the "dangers" of the free internet. The aim of this approach is to perpetuate the circle of capitalist valorization and to expand the technoscientific control of nature by new means.
I strongly believe that the transition to the digital era brings about the need of a conscious choice between those two approaches. It is not about good and bad science or about men and women anymore. It is about politics; or, to be more precise, about the point where epistemology crosses politics. The feminine epistemology resurfaces exactly at this intersection; not only as a criticism of the colonization project of modernity, but also as a viable and dynamic alternative to the instrumentalist project of the digital era and as a radical rejection of the dualisms upon which this project rests.

COVID PREVENTION MEASURES
UNILAK is welcoming students and staff back to campus. As schools reopen and university community members return to campus within the COVID-19 pandemic, UNILAK finds itself in unexpected times. UNILAK management has been working conscientiously with faculty, staff and students, to develop comprehensive plans which not only prioritize the safety of our community members but also preserve key elements of what makes the UNILAK experience different. While daily life will certainly be different, we are confident that this will be a challenging but successful
To What Extent is UNILAK Prepared for Re-opening?
As part of our preparation, UNILAK has organized a task force representing academics,
student affairs, and campus operations. All work undertaken by this task force has been
informed by the UNILAK senior management.
The following principles will guide our efforts:
We will fulfill our mission and meet the UNILAK standard of quality education.
The health and safety of the UNILAK community is paramount.
We will respond with commitment and flexibility in the face of complication.
Detailed in this statement are critical elements of UNILAK's comprehensive reopening plan. This information will continue to evolve, so we ask that you follow our communications detailed on our dedicated website and remain flexible to changes as needed. We look forward to sharing the full details of the reopening as they are finalized.
The task force has developed a comprehensive plan to continue to deliver UNILAK's high-quality academic offerings in a manner that places community safety at the forefront. After careful consideration for student health and the safety of the UNILAK community, a modified schedule has been established. This will start by a timetable which allow to group students in small groups by respecting a social distancing of 2m. We will also emphasize on the use of blended mode of teaching which will reduce the time students spend as they are traveling in the campus and this will reduce the risks of contamination which discourages travel, again minimizing the risk of exposure to the virus. Additional measures to protect the UNILAK community are listed below, and further details will be forthcoming.
RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR COVID-19 PREVENTION IN UNILAK

In my first and second parts of this 3-part series, I covered why you should be hosting your own Un-Networking Lunches and who you should invite.
Now I am going to show you everything else you need to know to execute your first lunch, and how you can leverage this strategy to acquire more clients for your business. Read to the bottom of this post for a free PDF highlighting the entire process for getting your first Un-Networking Lunch off the ground!
Let locale dictate your restaurant choice (you can indulge your foodie habits on your own time). If, like me, you live in a widespread city, choose a central location that is easy to get to.
You will also want to confirm the restaurant can accommodate separate checks. This reinforces that everyone is there by choice, to add value, and without obligation.
I recommend starting at 11:45. Starting before the noon rush should make it easier for your guests to park and get settled in.
Alternatively, you can host the lunch at your office if you prefer (or there aren't any good private rooms in your region). However, if you do this, I would cover the bill.
Finally, it's time to pick a date and send out your invitations. Ideally, you will have between 6-12 professionals attending your lunch, so you should plan on sending out 10-20 invitations.
Every Un-Networking Lunch I have hosted has been unique in some way. They don't always go as-scripted, but they are always valuable.
As the host, your primary function will be facilitating a roundtable discussion in which each attendee introduces their business, current areas of focus, and anything they could use help with.
This framework will keep everyone on the same page and give them a common language to speak throughout the course of the lunch.
At a minimum, each of your guests will leave with new connections and a desire to help you because you made this happen. In addition to providing an excellent forum for members of your network to connect and develop lasting relationships with each other, these lunches will give you a great opportunity to introduce (or reintroduce) your business to all of your guests.
Many of the people in the room will know about your business and how they can identify a good opportunity for you, but even if you have communicated this to them in the past, it's always beneficial to reinforce your value proposition.
However, the main reason why my lunches work is that I am primarily focused on adding value for professionals in my network and making sure they connect with others in a meaningful way. The new connections made and their lasting impact will prove to be incredibly valuable for all of your guests – all thanks to you.
And just like with Bob and Mark from my first lunch, they will be eager to invite their colleagues to the next one.
After hosting your first lunch, you will see how easy they are to execute, and how valuable they are for you and your guests. Now, I want you to understand how you can leverage these lunches to get in front of more ideal prospects for your business – prospects you likely would not have met otherwise.
To summarize, you will put yourself in a position to interact with 19 brand new prospective clients and COIs over approximately four lunches.
The great thing about hosting these lunches is you are in control, especially when it comes to how often you plan them. I have hosted as many as nine lunches (for 90 people) in one month, but you will end up with similar results (number of new connections) regardless of your pace.
I hope you see the benefits – for you and your key relationships – to be had by hosting Un-Networking Lunches and hope you are inspired to take action.
To make it easy for you to host your first lunch (and hopefully many more), I have put together the Un-Networking Lunch Playbook, which includes email templates and resources, to make this as turn-key as possible for you.
To get it, click here and it will automatically download to your computer or mobile device.
If you decide to put this into action, I would love to hear from you. Good luck, and let me know if I can help.
If you liked this email, please feel free to share the post with a friend or colleague.
Here's My #1 Client Acquisition Strategy. What's Yours?
Sign up to receive future articles and the first chapter of NINW!


Biochemical company, HelioBioSys, came into the news in August this year after it patented an organism that is seven-times more effective than algae in the production of biofuels. To create the highly efficient and robust bacteria the US company used the latest techniques fed by energy from the sun and carbon and nitrogen from the atmosphere to ferment into biofuels or chemical intermediates.
The man behind HelioBioSys, the co-founder and chief executive officer, David Smernoff, is the subject of this weeks 5 minutes with David generously shares with Dave Songer some details of how it all began for HelioBioSys, the role that biofuels have to play in the future and the highs and lows of working in the bio-based industry.
Dave Songer (DSo): Its a pleasure to meet you, David. Can I start by asking what first inspired you to work in the bio-based industry?
David Smernoff (DS): Seeing the first photo of Earth from Space (Apollo 8) and the Apollo 11 moon landing made me appreciate the wonder and frailty of our planet. These events triggered my passion for environmental preservation and stewardship.
I learned about climate change during my first year as a graduate student at Stanford in 1987. My research focused on the interaction between elevated effects of CO2 and nitrogen nutrition on plant growth, and from that time I knew I wanted to focus on ways to reduce fossil fuel consumption. Much of my career looked at creating life support systems for humans (NASA-Ames), but I always maintained a strong interest in protecting the life support systems on Earth for humans and all life.
In 2009 my co-founder and I started to discuss ways to support the biofuel industry using our expertise in microbiology and ecology. We wanted to do something to reduce fossil fuel dependence to improve public and environmental health. Our background led us quickly to cyanobacteria as a useful engine, along the way we have pivoted a few times to address the hard realities of challenging the embedded fossil fuel and plastics industries.
(DSo): Fascinating, how did you achieve that?
(DS): We started by genetically modifying a cyanobacteria to produce ethanol directly. It worked well, so much so that they poisoned themselves with ethanol, and the volatilization problem made us realise it would be very expensive to maintain healthy cultures and siphon off the ethanol efficiently. We then decided to co-culture the modified cyanobacteria with yeast, which also worked pretty well and led us to settle on cyanobacterial sugar production as our core feature. Following that we integrated nitrogen fixing species and strong sugar producers into our consortium. The volatility of the biofuel and sugar markets plus the complex nature of the polysaccharide led us to our more recent pivot, focusing on polysaccharide production and conversion to bio-based materials.
(DSo): What do you enjoy most about your job?
(DS):The most enjoyable part of this work is collaborating with such a diverse range of experts who are passionate about overcoming the technical and economic challenges facing the bioeconomy. Since we began, weve meet biologists, engineers and business experts and have really enjoyed working with them all and learning from them.
Amusingly, I even love the long hours, low pay and uncertainty! Its also great to wait for months to hear about another grant application not being funded.
(DSo): What advice would you give someone looking to get started in the bio sector?
(DS):Stay well grounded in the science, technology or engineering of your idea but never doubt for a minute that real success will require paying even closer attention to the economics of getting your product into the market. Hang on to that rush from the 1% flash of inspiration as you sweat through the remaining 99% of the work.
(DSo): The HelioBioSys cyanobacteria biofuel story proved very popular on Bio-Based World News; what more can you tell us about that?
(DS):Cyanobacteria have been around for more than 2.5 billion years and are the original carbon source for fossil fuels, along with green algae. They put all the oxygen in our atmosphere (thanks guys!) and our mantra is that its time to put them back to work. The real challenge is how to take advantage of their photosynthetic efficiency, and nitrogen fixation and sugar excretion traits to create an economically viable cyano-industrial biorefinery.
Its clear that a successful biofuel industry has to pay careful attention to co-products and create efficient systems that embrace the cradle to cradle approach to energy and mass within the system. Building on the extensive work done for aquatic biomass/algae systems and integrated biorefineries, we think cyanobacteria present a key foundational system to capture photons for upgrading to fossil fuel-equivalent products (fuels and biomaterials) with superior sustainability metrics.
(DSo): What sort of impact do you think the fuel could have when it is totally up and running?
(DS):We started off thinking that fermentable sugars for biofuels would fill a void in the transition to a reduced fossil fuel dependent economy. However, thats been turned upside down by falling oil prices, natural gas becoming abundant and the challenge of displacing the huge volumes and incumbency of fossil fuels. Its clear now that to make fuels work, the co-products have to support the overall economics of biomass production and processing.
By focusing on higher margin products, requiring much smaller production volumes, we will be able to demonstrate pilot-scale operations. By gaining that toe hold, over time well be able to expand to the production volumes that are required to meet reasonable demands for biofuel. Because were looking at the hydrothermal liquefaction process to create a biodiesel blendstock, our rural biorefineries could provide some part of the diesel use in agriculture, reducing transportation costs for the fuel and improving local agricultural sustainability.
(DSo): What is the biggest hurdle that you think the bio-based economy faces, and how do you think it can be overcome?
(DS):The fundamental hurdle is the embedded energy in fossil fuels. They have a huge advantage in that their photosynthetically-derived carbon has been marinated deep in the ground at high temperatures and pressures for millions of years, resulting in a very high energy density and diverse array of constituents. So it is very challenging to meet current energy and material demands that rely on capturing current sunlight and converting that carbon to fuels and products.
When you couple that to the estimated $5.3tn annual subsidy (2015) for the fossil fuel industry via tax breaks and incentives, favourable policies and externalising pollution/climate change impacts it is very difficult to compete. When you add to that a 100+ year head start in the market, its anything but a level playing field.
I think everyone in the bio-based market recognises these challenges and work required to educate policymakers and the public about the need for alternative energy and material sources, as well as how bio-based alternatives seek to internalise all production and disposal costs to ensure the continuity of the earths ecosystem for future generations. We have to start replacing significant fractions of a barrel of oil to address climate change and convert our economy to one that lives within its current solar budget. There is ample energy coming into the system, and we have the technical ability to harvest it in many ways, what we need is a global shift in the economic policies that prevent widespread adoption. A carbon tax would be a great place to start.
(DSo): Where would you like to see HelioBioSys in ten years time?
(DS):We envision having a full-scale (500-1,000 acres of production ponds) integrated biorefinery producing high-value bioplastics and gels at that scale we can generate sufficient biomass to support a modest biofuel component. We will have multiple partners supporting production and downstream processing facilities, local distribution of blendstocks and bioplastics. At that point we would like to begin licensing the technology for expansion to new geographic locations.
(DSo): What is your favourite bio-based product and why?
(DS):Well, two categories are particularly intriguing to me. The first is a biodegradable replacement for plastic microbeads, which are a huge environmental and public health problem (were already ingesting them via our water supplies) that need to be replaced with a bio-based, biodegradable alternative.
The second is non-toxic food packaging films. The current perfluorinate-based films used for takeaway and fast food containers are a public health concern, and a functionally equivalent non-toxic bio-based material is needed to reduce this source of toxic exposure. Well be looking closely at both of these applications for our polysaccharide. They are particularly exciting because they replace fossil fuel-derived products and protect both consumers and the environment.
(DSo):Some fantastic insights there, David. Thanks again for your time.

Q: In Python i have fetched the rows in a text file by querying from oracle, i need to apply regex to rows and join the values using binary seperator In Python i have fetched the rows in a text file by querying from oracle, i need to apply regex to rows and join the values using seperator

A: You don't have to use regex, string manipulation should suffice:
binary_sep = "\xDE\xAD\xBE\xEF"
for row in records:
    new_row = "".join(row[1:])  # joins row to a string, starting from index 1
    new_row = new_row.replace("|", binary_sep)  # replaces each occurrance of "|" to binary_sep
    print(new_row)

This can also be done as a 1-liner:
new_row = "".join(row[1:]).replace("|", binary_sep)

Top priority to hydro power sector: CM
M L Verma
Notice: Undefined variable: url in /home/nfjueazn/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/loop-single.php on line 55
The Chief Minister Shri Virbhadra Singh said the State Government is extending top priority for expeditious exploitation of the hydro power potential which is a very important resource for the Economic development of the State. He was presiding over a seminar organized jointly by the Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd. and the Forum of the Hydro Power Producers and other stakeholders in various river basins of the State, today.
He termed it as an imperative initiative to deliberate on the important issue of hydro power sector development and required policy changes in the hydro power policy to harness the potential of the state as early as possible. The Chief Minister said power sector is critical to the development of the economy as development in all other sectors depends largely on the availability of power. The Himachal Government is fully aware of this fact and is according top priority to the hydro power sector and it will ensure development in the remotest parts and act as the major resource for revenue of the State.
He said that though the hydro power sector has witnessed declining trends in past few years, but there is no need for worry as every sector passes through such phases. He assured that the Himachal Government would provide every possible assistance to give the boost to this vital sector, which is also a major source of the economy. He said Himachal Pradesh has the distinction of providing reliable and quality supply to all consumers in the State where hundred percent revenue villages were electrified long ago. Not only this, the consumers in the State enjoy one of the lowest tariffs in the country, he added.
Mr. Singh said that the priority of the Government is to expeditiously harness balance potential in a manner that optimizes returns to the State. With a view to achieving this, the process of involving both the central government PSUs and the private sector in a big way in hydro power development has been initiated. He underlined that while executing hydro electric projects there is a need to assess key issues and requirements to meet the needs of sustainability, environmentally appropriate developments as well as adaptation towards addressing vulnerabilities from climate change.
The Chief Minister said to embark upon ambitious programme in the hydel generation the State Government in 2006 formulated its own hydro power policy in 2006. This was formulated with a view to maintaining a delicate balance to safeguard the interest of the people and mountain a delicate ecology and environmental safeguards.

Dear Indian TV soaps, Where's the Woman?
"Rasode mei kaun tha" – the video that took over the internet like a wildfire and gave hilarious meme-worthy content to Indian netizens, grabbed attention primarily for its funny, musical portrayal of an angry mother-in-law from a typical Indian television drama.
The viral video eventually lost popularity. But let us ignore the musical version for a second and focus on the original show. The depiction of the protagonist shouldering expectations of being an obedient daughter-in-law, wife and mother bound by family virtues and societal norms raises an urgent question on the small screen's portrayal of Indian women. When Gopi Bahu meekly tolerated the questioning of her mother-in-law, viewers came across a common instance of regressive representation of female characters in Indian soaps.
The world of Indian TV drama has been famous for its traditional "good bahu", "bad bahu" saga with dramatic storylines, reaching a viewership of millions. With a number of these shows airing globally, they hold a significant impact on people. It's ironic that a majority of these serials, despite being woman-centric, present very skewed narratives of womanhood.
Female Leads and their Roles
The world of female leads revolves around a gazillion roles that she is required to fulfil to please her kin. The pilot usually showcases a young woman's parents with the sole aim of marrying off their "homely" daughter. This daughter seems to meet all major societal beauty standards. Her marriage is finalized with a boy belonging to a "good" family where she is expected to live "happily ever after". In the very next episode, the girl seems to happily, unquestioningly agree with the decisions being taken on her behalf. That's where the concept of individual choice completely gets sidelined.
Skewed Conceptions of Beauty
The notion of beauty is now becoming more inclusive than ever before in wider society. However, Indian serials remain obsessed with fair skin and slim bodies as the key traits of a "beautiful" woman. A similar storyline was observed in "Bidaai"- a serial portraying the lives of two sisters. One of the sisters was dark-skinned and hence was shown getting rejected by most of the potential grooms.
Ideals of Behavior
Next comes the cliché portrayal of the married Indian woman. The ideal portrayed is of a highly submissive woman; an epitome of sacrifice, and most importantly a great cook. She is defined as an "ideal" housewife only when she prioritizes people's interests above her own. From Tulsi in "Kumkum Bhagya" to Akshara in "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", makers have actively commercialized the subservient image of Indian women.
Even when some of these soaps have tried to endorse the idea of empowered women, they have taken a tokenistic approach towards an issue that requires much more thought and attention. When the protagonist is shown as a working woman, little emphasis is laid on her achievements on the professional front. The amount of effort she devotes towards her family life is instead glorified.
The famous TV soap- "Diya aur bati hum" that aired from 2011 to 2016 was centred around the life of Sandhya- an aspiring IPS officer who didn't give up on her dreams after getting married into an orthodox household. She was portrayed as learning household chores while balancing her studies and religiously obeying her mother-in-law. Sandhya ended up accomplishing her dream of being a civil servant. But the show highlighted that her fulfilment of familial duties made her the "perfect" Indian woman.
Motherhood is a must, but where is the Father?
Motherhood is yet another major aspect of the storylines adopted by the Indian small screen. This leaves us wondering- where are all the dads?
The role of a father is often portrayed as secondary when it comes to raising the children. The female lead questioning if she's a "good mother" the moment anything goes wrong, is indeed a common sight in these daily soaps. In a nutshell, the onus of ensuring a good upbringing of her children rests solely upon the mother.
Why Is It Problematic?
An important question arises here-
Why does our small screen need to adopt a different, perhaps newer version of the Indian women?
As per BARC's Broadcast India 2018 survey, out of 836 million viewers of Indian television, 429 million are male and 407 million are female. Daily soaps occupy a major chunk of this viewership. It's not only women but young children who watch these shows daily. With their regressive portrayal of women, these serials propagate the normalization of Indian women being naive and unrealistically selfless. Each episode airing with the sole objective of garnering TRP numbers sells perpetually flawed notions around womanhood to the viewers. This becomes extremely problematic when women living in remote and rural regions watch these shows. They further tend to relate with the characters and embrace the patriarchal values that are inherently pre-rooted in their surroundings.
In reality, there are more aspects to a woman's life than being an obedient daughter-in-law, an ideal wife or a caring mother. Her beauty transcends the dominant norms of fair skin or a particular body shape. The modern Indian woman is empowered. She is breaking free from the shackles of societal norms that once held her back.
The question remains, when will the Indian small screen shift from its portrayal of docile, "homely" women? When will producers focus on storylines with women depicted as liberated, strong-headed and essentially having more layers to their lives beyond the domestic front?

A: Have a look at my other 2 comments and proposed solution below, this is not a WP issue you're facing, it's JS/jQuery
    echo "

    echo "<button onclick='myFunction(" . $cat->slug . ")' class='dropbtn btn-" . $cat->slug . "'>".$cat->name."</button>";
    echo "

And:
function myFunction(cat_slug) {

}

Try that, should work :)


Airbags are an extremely common feature on modern cars, trucks and SUVs - and typically there are several of them in any given vehicle. Fortunately, most of the time we forget they are even there. Here's a shout out to the airbag, from By The Book Diesel & Auto Repair in Albuquerque, NM.


Discussion in 'Standard Guitars' started by ekulggats, Apr 14, 2019.
I played an Artisan Majesty the other day. I was impressed with the guitar itself, but was truly blown away by the pickups, switching systems and their onboard processing. I have not played through any other guitar and found so many powerful any varied tones to choose from as I did in that one. Inspiring for sure.
Unfortunately I am not loaded with disposable money, so- given the kind of daunting array of JP models produced, Which models would have the same/similar pickup and piezo setup as the majesty, but can be attained for the most reasonable price? The combined piezo tones I was able to get out of it were pretty incredible, I really want to have access to those sorts of tones.
You should be fine with a loaded jp6. Those can be had for the most reasonable price. Music man guitars are amazing in general, you really can't go wrong with them or any of the JP models.
nyxzz and ekulggats like this.
All the JPs with Piezo have the same electronics/switching.
A loaded JP6 would answer your needs nicely.
I actually prefer the JP models over the Majesty models; the body shape is a little more timeless and elegant.
ekulggats and Pablo like this.
I'd say play a few before you pick but best bang for your buck like everyone has said is the "basic" JP6. You just can't go wrong. Switch the pickups out to Illuminators to get closer to the pre 2019 Majesty sound and you'll be set.
I'd say play a few before you pick but beat bang for your buck like everyone has said is the "basic" JP6. You just can't go wrong. Switch the pickups out to Illuminators to get closer to the pre 2019 Majesty sound and you'll be set.
Definitely play examples of the different models.
All the various "X series" JPs have a different feel to them.
Luckily, pretty much everything but certain rare color BFRs are cheaper than the Majesty.
The Majesty is an unbelievably awesome design and killer playing guitar. I can't put down mine and I definitely want to grab another in a 7 string variety.
Starting with the JP 13(?), some guitars now have an active preamp circuit. In practical terms, this acts like a clean boost to give you 20db of gain to the signal, and also helps to buffer the signal against interference (e.g. running long lengths of patch cable, which can cause hum). I believe the JP 13, 15, and the Majesty all of this feature, but (for example), the JP6 does not.
The pickups are different in several of the models. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since some were designed specifically to fit those guitars. Brand new majesties are shipping with the Dreamcatcher/Rainmaker, but formerly came with Illuminators (what you may have tried on the majesty you played). The JP6s come with the Crunchlab/Liquifier, but on older models came with a D-Sonic/Steve-special-type pickup, or two of the Steve-special-types (they were proprietary, I believe). So if you buy used and are particular about getting the exact same pickup/electronic config you tried in store, just be aware of the pickup differences.
Keep in mind many of the model updates have been incremental and not substantial revisions. For the features you seem to value, those have been on fully-loaded JP6s since 2001. There's some bells and whistles the majesties have now that the older guitars don't, but I'd be sceptical of feeling like you're not getting the full functionality if you opt for a cheaper/older model. Used JP6s are quite affordable now and offer a broadly similar playing experience.
Lastly, just be aware of changes to other features. No JP guitars had stainless steel frets before 2015, so be aware of that. The neck radii became flatter and flatter on the new guitars (from 15" to 17", even to 20" on the JPXI, I believe). The woods have changed a fair bit, especially on certain BFR models. The rest of the changes should be obvious on first glance, however: painted necks vs. gun oil + wax, changes in body shape, changes to hardware colour on some models (JPX, stealth), and so on.
To echo what others have said, I prefer the design of the JP6, honestly. It is very comfortable and the necks are to die for. I've felt no need to upgrade to the other models from the several JP6s I've owned.
But depending on your must-have features, you might want to review the line-up using this side-by-side specification comparison tool provided by Music Man. Just select the models from the drop-down menus above the spec sheet.
The only thing I'd change about the JP6/7 series is smaller heels. Which the majesty has done.
Speaking of which, are those available anywhere yet? I thought it might be fun to put a Dreamcatcher in my HSS Jackson.
No JP guitars had stainless steel frets before 2015, so be aware of that.
My mistake; I think they were introduced with the XI, were they not? If so, I've confused two dates: when stainless steel frets were introduced on that model, and when they were upgraded across the entire model range, which I believe only happened within the last few years (I put it at 2015, but I'm not 100% on that).
In any case, my point was simply that while you'll find stainless steel frets on all the various JP models today, if you're buying in the used market, many of the guitars will not have them.
SS Frets were introduced on the XI and made standard across all JP Production models with the announcement of the JP12 at NAMM 2012.
This is confusing for the JPX because of the crossover of X models being produced for two years before this change, so there's only a few ways to tell if your guitar has stainless frets or not.
If you have an X, and you have shield inlays on the 12th fret, you absolutely have Stainless Frets. Another confirmation is the bridge post positioning, if your high E string is right above the treble post of the tremolo then you have a pre-2012 JPX and it's questionable wether or not you have SS Frets. At that point, email EBMM with the serial and they'll confirm.
But if you have shield inlays on the 12th, as well as the treble trem post NOT under your high E string. You have SS frets.
For all other models, the trem post change is enough of a visual indicator to tell.
This is the difference if anyone is wondering what I'm talking about.
Other thing to note, is that all JP's after the JP13 feature some sort of active circuit and they can no longer be used without a battery, so always keep a 2 pack of 9v or AA's in the gig bag.
Sermo Lupi and Strobe like this.
Watch out for the location of the pickup selector. I bought and sold a JP15 because I could not keep my hand from bumping it. The bumping wouldn't necessarily change pickups, but it was just uncomfortable for me.
Many players say they get used to it, but others say they don't. Just make sure you play one first!
I've never had a problem with the pickup selector, but I do knock the piezo selector from time to time if I try to do tapping. Have to adjust my hand position to avoid that.
You need to play some of the other JPs. The best ones IMO are the OG JP6/7, JPX (JPXI is pretty good too) and the JP16. I played the Majesty and couldnt really stand it at all. Just make sure whatever model you get has the stainless frets, which they started using in 2011 I believe.

Victory and Associates: These Things Are Facts!
There is a bit of a nautical theme that runs through Victory and Associates' album, These Thing Are Facts! These references to shipwrecks and staying afloat speak volumes to the band's approach. It's not just about surviving, but thriving, even when the resources available don't lend themselves to easy success. In the face of such limitations, it makes the wins, however small, seem miraculous. The optimism of these songs would be anthemic, if it weren't so constantly threatening to fall apart and that's just right.
The wins on this album can be attributed largely to the band's youthful confidence and reckless ambition. They are pushing their talent and their tools to the limit, taking their sound to the brink of where it falls apart and sometimes just beyond. When they can find that sweet spot, as on "Not Returning", where the singer relates the story of leaving home over the stretch of guitar strings and the swirl of feedback. Musically, it displays a Replacements-style hookiness; lyrically, a Modest Mouse nothing-to-lose howl.
The band displays a definition of success where ambition and process trump results. The approach varies, ranging from Rancid-style call and response to a more traditional guitar jangle chorus followed by a solo. The constant is a reach to be deeper, richer, and fuller. There is an acknowledgement, followed by a rejection, of their limitations. They would rather fail ambitiously than succeed under less challenging conditions. It is an attitude and a state of mind, working best when coming from that least understood place in the gut. In fact, the low points of the album "Brothers Doing it for Themselves" and "Turn Down the Guitars" fail, in large part, because they are too on the nose, trying to explain their ethos and abandon in terms that are too direct.
The songs aren't reactions to hurt and unfairness, but declarations of independence. While they work as assertions, they don't, lyrically, take aim at anything too specific and, as a result, don't hold too much emotional weight. They are stretching themselves thin here, testing the limits of their talent, seeing what they can get away with. It's an attitude that runs parallel to the Occupy Wall Street mindset. It's not so much whether your voice is heard, so long as you speak. These Things Are Facts Is about talking the talk. Say something enough and it will become true.
