Kalyani: The first ball of the Ranji Trophy match between Bengal and Vidarbha is yet to be bowled, but the pitch of Kalyani has already made it to the headlines. In this scenario the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has send a letter to the BCCI where they raised questions on the jurisdiction of work of a neutral curator.
CAB President Sourav Ganguly too confirmed that they have sent a letter to the BCCI, but didn't give any answer on what was written in the letter." We have sent a letter to the BCCI but it is an internal matter of BCCI and CAB, and I won't comment anything regarding this matter," said Sourav.
The BCCI will keep a close watch on the Ranji Trophy Group D clash between Bengal and Vidarbha starting at Kalyani from tomorrow. The 22 yards at the Bengal Cricket Academy was the middle of controversy during the Ranji Trophy clash between Bengal and Odisha which lasted for only two and half days. The wicket at the venue was blacklisted along with the strip at Sourashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
The BCCI in order to ensure a sporting wicket has sent neutral curator SB Singh from Ranchi to oversee the preparations today. The local curator Sujan Mukherjee was told by Singh that he has been sent by BCCI to oversee the preparation of the wicket. Mr Mukherjee was seen seating at the sidelines at the BCA stadium
BCCI pitches and curator committee chairman Daljit Singh when contacted by xtratime.in said, "In our last technical committee meeting held in Kolkata, it was decided in the presence of BCCI technical committee chairman Sourav Ganguly that all the Ranji Trophy matches will be played on a sporting wicket."
Anyone who visited the venue yesterday must have noticed the stark difference in the nature of the wicket. There was very little grass left compared to what was present yesterday to produce even support to the batsmen and bowlers.
"I wanted a wicket which will produce a good game of cricket for four days," said Singh to the reporters in Kalyani.
Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary also looked unhappy with the wicket. Talking about the wicket, Manoj said, "We are not worried about the wicket at all. All I can say is we did not get the wicket we wanted. We have to rethink our strategy once again. Bottom line is to play well as a team in all the departments."
Vidarbha coach Chandrakant Pandit feel, "Both the batsmen and bowlers will get help on this wicket for four days."
The clash will be a battle to take the top spot in Group D. Bengal is currently placed in the third spot with 13 points from 3 matches while Vidarbha has pocketed 14 points from similar number of matches. Punjab is currently on top in the group with 15 points but they have played a match more.
Both teams will be missing their pace spearheads. Bengal will definitely miss the services of Md. Shami.
According to Manoj, "We will definitely miss him especially with the way he is dominating test cricket recently."
The Bengal captain is in front of a milestone of becoming the first cricketer from Bengal to score 6000 runs in Ranji Trophy. He is just 91 runs short of the milestone.
"To be honest, I was not aware of it (milestone). I have never given much attention to personal milestones. All I am focussing now is scoring runs and leading from the front," said Tiwary.
The match will be officiated by English umpire Martin James Sagger. The former Kent and England fast bowler is in India on an exchange programme. This will be his third Ranji Trophy match he will be standing as an umpire this season. The previous two matches were between Mumbai vs Tamil Nadu and the one in Pune between Karnataka and Maharshtra.

Q: Create JavaScript object of asterisk separated strings I've three strings.
var ids = "1*2*3";
var Name ="John*Brain*Andy";
var Code ="A12*B32*C38";

I want to create a JavaScript object of it.

A: A JSON object is just a string, so it would be:
var json = '{"ids":"'+ids+'","Name":"'+Name+'","Code":"'+Code+'"}';

If you want the strings converted into string arrays:
var json = '{"ids":["'+ids.replace(/\*/g,'","')+'"],"Name":["'+Name.replace(/\*/g,'","')+'"],"Code":["'+Code.replace(/\*/g,'","')+'"]}';

If you are not at all looing for JSON, but in fact a Javascript object, it would be:
var obj = {
  ids: ids.split('*'),
  Name: Name.split('*'),
  Code: Code.split('*')
};

Based on your description "I want first item of the array to be having three props i.e. Id, name and code with values 1,John, A12 respectively." it would however be completely different:
var Ids = ids.split('*'), names = Name.split('*'), codes = Code.split('*');
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < Ids.length; i++) {
  arr.push({ Id: Ids[i], name: names[i], code: codes[i] });
}

And if you want that as JSON, it would be:
var Ids = ids.split('*'), names = Name.split('*'), codes = Code.split('*');
var items = [];
for (var i = 0; i < Ids.length; i++) {
  items.push('{"Id":"'+Ids[i]+'","name":"'+names[i]+'","code":"'+codes[i]+'"}');
}
json = '[' + items.join(',') + ']';

(Note: The last code only works properly when the strings doesn't contain any quotation marks, otherwise they have to be escaped when put in the string.)

A: I find that Guffa give a good answer. I want only dissuade from the manual JSON serialisation because Name properties could have a special characters which must be escaped. So I suggest a minimal change of Guffa's suggestion and use JSON.stringify (see http://www.json.org/js.html)
var Ids = ids.split('*'), names = Name.split('*'), codes = Code.split('*');
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < Ids.length; i++) {
  arr.push({ Id: Ids[i], Name: names[i], Code: codes[i] });
}
var result = JSON.stringify(arr);

The Oscars went down last night so you know what that means folks: Fox & Friends is furious that the entertainers talked about politics.
They're most displeased with director Spike Lee, who after winning Best Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman, made a call to vote President Donald Trump out of office in the 2020 election.
"Stars wasted no time using the Oscars to make a political message, and make that message clear while taking jabs at President Trump," said Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth, on a show that regularly invites on everyone from Kid Rock to Duck Dynasty stars to Diamond & Silk to opine on politics.
"Well, he won, for the first time, he hasn't been on stage a lot, so he was happy," Brian Kilmeade snarked.
While it may have been Lee's first competitive Oscar (he won an Honorary Award in 2016), the iconic actor has a well-stocked awards cabinet for movies like Do The Right Thing (which received an Oscar nomination), Malcolm X and Inside Man.
The Fox News segment came minutes after Trump unleashed on Lee in a tweet, calling the director's speech racist.

Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Series: The Penguin English Library
The Penguin English Library Edition of Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
"I would be content, ay, glad, to live with you as your servant, if I may not as your wife; so that I could only be near you, and get glimpses of you, and think of you as mine ... I long for only one thing in heaven or earth or under the earth, to meet you, my own dear! Come to me - come to me, and save me from what threatens me!"
When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune, meeting her 'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future. With its sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful criticism of social convention, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy's novels.

Thomas Hardy was born in Dorset in 1840 and became an apprentice architect at the age of sixteen. He spent his twenties in London, where he wrote his first poems. In 1867 Hardy returned to his native Dorset, whose rugged landscape was a great source of inspiration for his writing. Between 1871 and 1897 he wrote fourteen novels, including Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. This final work was received savagely; thereafter Hardy turned away from novels and spent the last thirty year of his life focusing on poetry. He died in 1928.

As for me, I spent the day in class. Five hours of class. I really enjoyed the professor and the topic (Internet and Digital Copyright Law), but five hours is much too much. Anyway, I survived. And after the class, I was given a free pastry by my baker friend. It made me smile. The neighborhood baker is this older gentleman who likes to make fun of my lack of language skills. Actually, at first, he seemed to just get really annoyed with me each time I entered the store, but he's slowly come around. He's now really friendly (maybe that's what happens after he watches you get proposed to by a random stranger in the bakery one day). He smiles at me whenever I pass the store and gave me my free treat today! Of course, now this means that I feel guilty going to any other bakeries, but that's okay!
Then I spent a quiet evening at home cooking dinner and watching Grey's Anatomy, Season 2. Pretty exciting Valentine's Day, n'est-ce pas?
This weekend was even more exciting – let me tell you. I didn't leave the apartment a single time because I was stuck writing a paper for Comparative Criminal Law and taking a final for EU Law and Policy. I bet you all wish you were studying abroad now, don't you?
Anyway, just wanted to wish you all a wonderful "holiday." Love you all!

Mark Shields (1937-2022)
via the Washington Post:
Mark Shields, a onetime campaign manager who became one of Washington's most respected political commentators, both as a syndicated columnist and as a genial liberal counterpart to several conservative sparring partners on the "PBS NewsHour," died June 18 at his home in Chevy Chase, Md. He was 85….
The Wall Street Journal once called Mr. Shields one of the "wittiest political journalists in America" and "frequently the most trenchant, fair-minded, and thoughtful." In a statement, PBS NewsHour host Judy Woodruff said, "Mark Shields had a magical combination of talents: an unsurpassed knowledge of politics and a passion, joy, and irrepressible humor that shone through in all his work."…
He was, by his own admission, a traditional Massachusetts liberal in the mold of one of his political heroes, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.). He helped organize Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign, which was gaining momentum before Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles in June 1968.
Thereafter, Mr. Shields tended to view politics with a touch of sorrow-filled regret. He often mused that if Kennedy had been elected, he would have become the most inspiring and transformative president in a generation. Instead, Mr. Shields measured the aspirations and achievements of later politicians with a bemused sense of humor, brushed with the disappointment of reality….
In one of his final appearances on "NewsHour" in 2020, Mr. Shields noted that the Democratic Party had traditionally been the political home of lunch-pail, working-class White men. The problem facing the party in the 21st century, he said, "is one of attitude as much as it is of platform. I mean, the Democrats, that were once a shot-and-a-beer party have become a sauvignon blanc party arguing about which wine is more sensitive."
via David Brooks in 2020:
Every Friday evening for the last 19 years, Mark Shields and I have gathered to talk politics on the "PBS NewsHour." When people come up to me to discuss our segment, sometimes they mention the things we said to each other, but more often they mention how we clearly feel about each other — the affection, friendship and respect. We've had thousands of disagreements over the years, but never a second of acrimony. Mark radiates a generosity of spirit that improves all who come within his light….
Mark's father was the first Catholic to serve on their town's school board. The first time he saw his mother cry was when Adlai Stevenson lost to Dwight Eisenhower. Mark went off to Notre Dame and then served in the Marine Corps, before working as a congressional aide.
This was the mid-60s. Evidence that government worked was all around. The G.I. Bill had worked, though mostly for whites. Mark had served with Black Marines because Harry Truman had the courage to integrate the military. Mark saw the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968….
I don't know if it was midcentury liberalism or the midcentury record of the Boston Red Sox, but Mark instinctively identifies with the underdog. Every year he invites me to do an event with him with Catholic social workers. These are people who serve the poor and live among the poor. They have really inexpensive clothing and really radiant faces, and in their lives you see the embodiment of an entire moral system, Catholic social teaching, which has its service arm and, in Mark, its political and journalistic arm.
He comes from a generation that highly prized egalitarian manners: I'm no better than anyone else and nobody is better than me.
via Paul Begala:
To me, Mark represented an inclusive and empathetic liberalism. He spoke in terms of values, not programs. (No one cares that you voted to expand Section 8; but they do care that you helped a poor family afford an apartment.) At a time when politics is increasingly driven by purity tests, Mark wanted everyone at the table. "There are two kinds of political parties," he would say. "Just like there are two kinds of churches: those who seek out converts, and those who hunt down heretics."
The Francis Factor: A Discussion on the First Six Months of Pope Francis' Leadership, 2013:
Mark Shields, a national columnist and commentator, recalled the joy of Christianity that Pope John XXIII displayed. He believes Francis brings that sense of joy about the gospel as well. He remarked that Francis does not focus on talking about loving and caring in the abstract, but living it out in his interactions with those he encounters. Shields also stressed the communitarian mentality of Pope Francis, his tendency to ask "are we better off?" This again contrasts with the typical embrace of individualism in our society.
The Catholic Case against Libertarianism: Steve Schneck and Mark Shields, 2014:
Shields argued that nonjudgmental tolerance has become the highest virtue in a society where individual economic acquisitiveness and self-expression are so honored. He contrasted this "me culture" with Catholic teaching's "we culture." And he argued that the strength of a nation is based on the willingness of the people to make sacrifices for the common good. Shields spent a great deal of time talking about the importance of national service, seeing it as vital in fostering this type of shared sacrifice by getting Americans to look beyond themselves and their own interests. Ultimately, he argued, "We need the politics of the common good again."
Pope Francis, Catholic Social Thought, and US Public Life, 2017:
You're gonna put together a majority in the country when you've got a third of Democrats who are pro-life? There's got to be room for and voices for and attention paid to people like Bob Casey and Joe Donnelly. There wouldn't have been an Affordable Care Act without the votes of pro-life Democrats.

In 1960, French filmmaker René Clément was the first to adapt Patricia Highsmith's 1955 novel 'The Talented Mr Ripley' for cinema – Anthony Minghella returned to it 40 years later with Matt Damon and Jude Law in the roles of Tom Ripley and Dickie Greenleaf, played here by Alain Delon and Maurice Ronet. Set in Italy, this sun-bleached, louche thriller, infused with a lively, on-location documentary style, tells how Ripley arrives from the US as an envoy of Greenleaf's father, charged with bringing the rich, dissolute son back home. But Ripley's growing infatuation with his wealthy friend turns murderous, and Greenleaf's girlfriend, Marge (Marie Laforêt), is one of many caught up in a tale of deceit and desperation. In this version, it's Delon – impossibly beautiful, impossible to read, cold, cool – who steals the film, and the most powerful scenes are on Ripley's yacht, when Clément allows himself most freely to indulge the story's otherwise muted homoerotic edge. Clément changes the ending so it's less satisfactory than both the Highsmith and Minghella versions, but he succeeds in making his film as beautiful on the surface and strange and sinister below deck as Ripley himself.

Rule 14 Determination of Supplementary Calls and Deferred Calls etc.
The Association may determine Advance Calls, Deferred Calls and Supplementary Calls and variations in the Premium Rating, either generally for all entries or separately for any entry or category of entries.
Rule 13 is the vehicle that gives the Association the power to levy the Advance, Supplementary and Deferred Calls that may be required to ensure that the Association has the funds that are necessary to meet the liabilities and expenses of a mutual association, and Rule 14 is the vehicle that determines how such Calls are to be quantified.
Whereas Rules 11-13 are primarily designed to enable the Association to calculate Premium Ratings and Calls which are applicable to all Ships which are entered with the Association, Rule 14 enables the Association to make further adjustments in relation to a particular entry or to particular categories of entries. For example, it permits the Association to take account of enhanced risks which apply specifically to a particular Ship or class of Ship or Member or trade. For example, Members engaged in the carriage of persistent oil as cargo to the United States were for several years obliged to pay premium surcharges either per voyage or in some cases a lump sum covering all such voyages. However, the Association ceased to require such surcharges at the commencement of the 2014 Policy Year.
Rule 14 also allows the Association to determine the Premium Rating for a P&I entry and Defence entry of the same Ship on a different basis, which may be necessary due to underlying differences in the risk profiles of these different types of cover.

When you need to lower your cholesterol, you may be concerned that you won't be able to enjoy delicious food again. However, there are many tasty foods out there that actually lower your LDL cholesterol levels.
Avocado contains oleic acid, which helps lower LDL cholesterol. Avocado makes a great sandwich or salad topping, or you can try cooking with avocado oil.
Good news: you don't have to completely give up dessert to lower your LDL cholesterol. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants that help lower cholesterol. Just be sure to eat in moderation, as chocolate is high in sugar and saturated fat.
The most recent research concludes the green tea can lower your LDL and total cholesterol levels significantly. While more research is needed to study exactly how much green tea is required to lower cholesterol, doctors suggest drinking two cups a day when you want to lower your LDL cholesterol.
Nuts are a good source of monounsaturated fats, which lower LDL cholesterol and may even raise HDL cholesterol. Eating 1 ounce of nuts on a daily basis for one month may lower your LDL cholesterol by as much as 20 percent.
Oats are a powerful tool for lowering cholesterol because they are a great source of soluble fiber, which blocks your body from absorbing cholesterol. Studies show that when you eat oats with a least 3 grams of soluble fiber daily, you can lower your LDL cholesterol by up to ten percent.

Halfway through my eighteenth year, I left school and headed out to Manhattan. My uncle lived in a two bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side where he kept his dog happy with lots of caviar. He was a handsome, rich man but without a wife. As a pioneer in the field of chaotic dynamics, he had won scholarships and been awarded a significant amount of money. But he and I were a lot alike: Alone and empty.


Its in my blood, its my heart and soul. I spent many years photographing weddings full time but my first and foremost love was always portraits, and in particular, photographing women. I believe every woman should have at least one absolutely drop-dead gorgeous portrait of herself. Those photos will be treasured for a lifetime, but so many people go through life without ever seeing themselves as their loved ones see them and I think that is an absolute tragedy.
Put your trust in me, and I will capture the best photographs you have ever seen of yourself, photographs that will be treasured for your entire life and beyond. Photographs you will look at again and again and still be blown away. That is a promise. Come and join me!
On a more personal level-I am an odd sausage. My tattoos are extensive, my humour is dark and my heart is huge. I am mum to two humans (Mia, 16, and Ethan, 8) and one fur baby rescue dog called Mavis (2 and a half), wife to a beautiful long haired Irishman, and I am obsessed with RuPaul's Drag Race and love a good meme. I love gory and gross horror movies and TV but have a lifelong love of anything Shonda Rhimes makes (Grey's Anatomy for life, yo!) I listen to a stupidly wide range of music (from classical to rap to blues through to death metal) and my biggest hobbies outside of photography are crochet and gaming. I am a lifelong depression-sufferer, deal with two chronic illnesses (fibromyalgia and chronic migraine) and beaten a 15 year long battle with bulimia. I am always struggling with anxiety and a lack of self-worth and am in a never-ending battle with my weight thanks to my eating disorder history, but I'll never stop trying to better myself and love myself more. I am honest and open about all this (some say to a fault, especially on social media) but I don't want people to think my life is amazing, that its all glamour and gorgeousness. Its a battle, and one that I share openly so others might find small comfort in knowing that someone out there feels the same way.
So, HI! I'm Donna. Thoroughly messed up, glorious, flawed and loved human being just like you. Come see me and we'll have an absolutely ACE day!

Stables Indoor Ring
C. Stéphane Guiran
"Le Nid des murmures"
'Le Nid des Murmures', installation de Stéphane Guiran pour le Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2017 - © Eric Sander
"I imagined a nest made from geodes gleaned in Morocco's Atlas Mountains. Stone flowers gathered by human hands. Like poems garnered directly from the earth. From these broken geodes, a gentle purity emanates. That of quartz, keeper of murmurs. To white quartz we ascribe the magical gift of reflecting thoughts and feelings. Singing the silent words hidden within us.
A sound creation based on children's murmurings illuminates the poetic journey.
The Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire Stables' Indoor Arena boasts truly remarkable architecture. Anchored in the soil. It has the allure of the earthly seat of that ancient furnace in which matter once crystallised. Aerial. It has all the lightness of a cathedral whose rows of windows are open to the winds and the birds.
Assembled against a backdrop set between earth and sky, the four thousand quartz geodes become a huge amplifier of murmurs. An enhancer of silences. Let each visitor leave their dreams there, their wishes and secret fantasies. And those silences will fly away, through the open windows, blown by the wind. To reach the World's ears. To reach the humming of the stars, which will turn them into Constellations. Weaving a map of song fashioned from cocoons of the Self. Dreams ready to hatch. To fashion a world where poetry guides its beings towards an awakening that sleeps in us all". Stéphane Guiran.
Stéphane GUIRAN
Stéphane Guiran was born in Var, France, in 1968. He lives and works in Eygalières and Barcelona. An ESSEC graduate, he left the world of graphics in 2001 and turned his hand to sculpture.
From 2002 to 2011, most of his works were created from steel lines, in keeping with his early years as a graphic artist. In 2004, he learned the ropes of casting during a year's residency in Barcelona, which opened the way to monumental sculpture. The pared-down lines of the work he produced during this period evoke an imaginary form of writing unfolding in space, often inspired by Japanese calligraphy and haikus.
He joined the Alice Pauli gallery in 2011 and started exploring other mediums, photography first of all, around the reflections captured in the "Symétries" series. Then glass and crystal, which rapidly took on a predominant role in his work. Crystal led to more organic shapes, largely inspired by his close relationship with nature. He employs crystal in a range of contemporary expressions: as recycled material through his work on cullet, as pixel or design element, and in dialogues with natural crystals and other crystalline stones.
Nature and abstraction live in his work like the two sides of a single mirror. His latest creations meld his sculptural work with his interest in images through installations combining crystal and video, in which he seeks to involve the onlooker in the feelings that crystals arouse in him.

Mondelez India lights up the village of diyamakers
Celebrates the spirit of Diwali with another heart-warming instalment of 'Kuch Achha Ho Jaaye, Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye'
Festivals form an intrinsic part of the Indian culture. Mondelez India, with its campaigns, colourful packaging and unique product formats has been at the heart of India's festive spirit for over 70 years. This year, Mondelez India brings alive the joy of goodness by bringing people together and strengthens relationships with a deep rooted mantra of generosity and making a difference to people's lives. Just like no festival is complete without celebrations, Diwali cannot be revered in its true sense without illuminating our homes with diyas.
Surchand in Rajasthan is a village famously known as the village of diyamakers, while they have been lighting up our lives for 50 years, they themselves continue to live in darkness; until recently, when Mondelez India decided to install solar panels at their homes, ensuring that Diwali, the festival of lights holds true for every house in Surchand.
Anil Viswanathan, Director - Marketing (Chocolates), Mondelez India, said, "Cadbury is a brand built on the founding principle of goodness and generosity. The initiative reminds us of how any act of kindness, however small, can bring joy to people around you, thereby building on our strong proposition of 'Kuch Achha Ho Jaaye, Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye'. This Diwali, we hope to celebrate the generosity in everyone, showcasing how such moments go on to strengthen human relationships."
"Brand speak is no longer enough. If you really want to be a brand that matters, you have to be a brand that does. Cadbury has always had generosity at its core. So when Diwali came around, we discovered this village that makes diyas for a living, but doesn't have electricity for most of the day. The irony was obvious. And the solution was too. What if we could light up their lives, the way they light up ours? From there it was only getting it done that was the hard part. And their reactions were totally worth the hard work." Neville Shah, Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy & Mather.

A watcher runs in all job action executors and watches all RUNNING jobs to see whether or not they are progressing. The watcher inspects both ActionProgress and non-ActionProgress jobs.
If a RUNNING job is not progressing, the watcher moves the job to a TIMED_OUT state. The watcher either takes the job from the same job executor microservice or from one of the other available executors.
If a TIMED_OUT job is not progressing, the watcher will attempt to FAIL the job.
Any job executor microservice with an available slot to run new jobs, will take the TIMED_OUT jobs before consuming new job requests from the message queue. A base back pressure mechanism exists in order to deal with this.
If the original job action executor is still running and attempts have been made to progress the job, it is marked as TIMED_OUT, considered as a fatal error, and is ignored.

As expected, Intel officially announced their new 9th-gen Core processors this week along with the Z390 chipset. We wrote all about it here with some brief commentary on what to expect considering the embargo for benchmarks and full reviews is not lifted until October 19.
Although we're technically not bound by this as we didn't sign an NDA to get our sample, for a number of reasons we are going to wait, out of professionalism and respect for other reviewers who will be sinking days upon days of work into their day-one review.
"Intel has now officially announced its new Core i9 9900K processor, proclaiming it as the "world's best gaming processor." It's not just some marketing bluster either… well, not entirely. Intel has commissioned Principled Technologies to do a benchmarking sesh on its newest 9th Gen chips, and their competition, across 19 of the most popular PC games."
So Intel can go and publish their own "testing" done suspiciously through a third party ten days before reviews, while reviewers are prohibited from refuting the claims due to the NDA. First bad sign.
"But the real point of all this is for Intel to be able to hold out the 9900K as hands down the best gaming processor compared with the AMD competition, and in that it seems to have excelled. On some games, such as Civ 6 and PUBG, the performance delta isn't necessarily that great, but for the most part you're looking at between 30 and 50% higher frame rates from the 9900K versus the 2700X."
Right away many of the results looked very suspect to me, having spent countless hours benchmarking both the 2700X and 8700K, I have a good idea of how they compare in a wide range of titles and these results looked very off. Having spotted a few dodgy looking results my next thought was, why is PCGamesN publishing this misleading data and why aren't they not tearing the paid benchmark report apart? Do they simply not know better?
Over at the Principled Technologies website you can find the full report which states how they tested and the hardware used. Official memory speeds were used which isn't a particularly big deal, though they have gone out of their way to handicap Ryzen, or at the very least expose its weaknesses.
Ryzen doesn't perform that well with fully populated memory DIMMs, two modules is optimal. However timings are also important and they used Corsair Vengeance memory without loading the extreme memory profile or XMP setting, instead they just set the memory frequency to 2933 and left the ridiculously loose default memory timings in place. These loose timings ensure compatibility so systems will boot up, but after that point you need to enable the memory profile. It's misleading to conduct benchmarks without executing this crucial step.
Still, it would almost be fair if they had done the same for Intel, but they didn't. For all Intel platforms they first set the memory to XMP and then adjusted the frequency manually, handling Intel a significant performance advantage, particularly for games.
The next step in their manipulation of the results was to only test at 1080p with a GTX 1080 Ti using quality presets that were a step or two down from the maximum level. In many cases this simulates the kind of performance we see when testing at 720p using ultra quality presets. Of course, we also test at 1080p and 1440p as well to give readers the full picture.
One of the worst results picked by PCGamesN to show was from Ashes of the Singularity. Let's ignore the 9900K for now since I can't show you those results, instead let's focus on the 8700K and 2700X. Here the 8700K was 29% faster than the 2700X, that's a much bigger margin than I would expect to find. Principled Technologies are using the built-in benchmark, the CPU focused benchmark with the game running in the DirectX 12 mode with the high quality preset.
Here are the results for Ashes of the Singularity, let's talk about them. Compared to the paid results produced by Principled Technologies using the stock memory my 2700X was 18% faster, that's a shocking result already.
The 8700K, on the other hand, was 4% slower and this meant compared to the 2700X it was 4% faster and up to 9% faster with the higher clocked memory. That however is nothing like the 29% performance advantage Intel enjoyed in the paid testing.
Next I looked at Far Cry 5 and here the change wasn't quite as extreme for the 2700X, it was just 3% faster in my test and 10% faster with 3200 spec memory. However the 8700K was slower again, 7% slower with the 2666 memory that Principled Technologies used. Even with 3200 memory I couldn't match their result.
This means while they claim the 8700K is 26% faster in Far Cry 5, in reality it's more like 14% or 12% with 3200 memory, still a clear win for Intel but not nearly as extreme as the Principled Technologies benchmarks would lead you to believe.
The last set of results that I looked into were for Assassin's Creed: Origins and again they used the built-in benchmark with the 3rd highest quality preset at 1080p with a GTX 1080 Ti. Here the 8700K was 36% faster according to Principled Technologies when in reality it's more like 8% with stock memory speeds and 10% with overclocked memory.
So it's quite obvious that the Principled Technologies results are a load of rubbish and no one should be reproducing them. Of course, the focus here for Intel was to highlight how great the Core i9-9900K is and unfortunately right now I can't show the real results for that CPU. Needless to say though, it won't be 50% faster than the 2700X in games.
The 9900K will be faster than the 2700X for gaming, no doubt about it, but it's also going to cost twice as much once you factor in the motherboard price. On average we found when using tuned memory for both the 2700X and 8700K, the Intel CPU was ~9% faster at 1080p using a GTX 1080 Ti. Realistically, we're expecting the 9900K to be a few percent faster when compared to the 8700K, at least in games as most titles aren't coming close to tapping out the 6-core/12-thread processor.
I don't have too much of an issue with Intel commissioning the report itself, and the Principled Technologies report is very transparent as they clearly state how they tested the games and configured the hardware. The results and testing methods are heavily biased, but they haven't attempted to hide their dodgy methods. You can dig into the specs and find all the details, it's still dodgy but it's a paid report, so it's somewhat expected.
The misleading benchmarks from Nvidia regarding their GeForce 20 series launch was pretty bad, this though is on another level and I seriously hope we don't see these results published anywhere else with the intention of promoting the 9900K. Intel is under pressure, we get that, but ultimately this kind of move is making the company a disservice.
We expect more on this subject to pop up in the coming days and it goes without saying, please wait for our independent i9-9900K review and the reviews of other trusted media outlets to arrive late next week. Tomorrow we also expect to follow up with our thoughts on the new unlocked 28-core Xeon workstation CPU and Intel Core X-series processors, see where those stand against Threadripper.


Congratulation ! I like Konica's as well.
No Paypal! That means many times, if price is low. Sender not send out the merchandise, he keep the money and merchandise too. It happend with me few days before. Try to riport immediately on Ebay as item not received, I don't know is it help or not.
Here in Greece I wait 3-4 weeks when I order from Germany. Only China & Uk send me in 1 week.
That is very interesting why take longer from Germany than Uk.Both item send as air shipment ?
Many funny histories from that time.
Well maybe it was not 40 years ago, but 35, 36, 37 or so... My memory is not as good as it used to be then.
The Zenith 122 hasn't arrived either.
The worst experience is my last selling, a small multimeter that I sold for 10�. For these small things I never wait for the payment, because I've never had a problem... Until this time. I use to go once per week to the post office, so I send everything pending at once.
The guy told the multimeter was fine and voted positively. I'm still waiting for the payment. He marked the item in eBay as "payment sent" but after a week I've got no money in the account... Sent three emails with no answer. I'll wait until thursday and raise a claim in eBay.
Never send to anybody before get payment, just keep this rules always. I over on many transaction for all buyer has natural to pay before I got only one request to pay after.
Some other good payers will suffer the penalty of longer time delays because one bad payer.
I see this is ok.Clearly shows average people habbit, 90 % of our customer (web, software, graphics business) don't pay just if we ask them please pay! Nice isn't it ?
The Konica is lovely! If anyone else wants something similar, I think the sae camera was made by different brands. The others - such as the Chinon 35EE - usually go for less money, not that the Konica is very, very expensive!
Interesting this cam is very, very expensive and so many superb Konica lens are so so cheap.
17 days to get to Spain from Belgium.
Another parcel sent from the U.K. took 48 hours.
To honour the truth, the spanish Post Office may have been partially responsible for this expansion of the complex space-time.
Anxiously waiting to arrive home to open the box.
(In my office we cannot bring/show any kind of cameras, for security issues).
I've been shooting film all the week-end, I'll be sending the film to the lab later in the morning.
Really curious about what can come out. The main purpose is to check if the camera is fully operational, (and the photographer as well ).
From outside, the camera seems to work fine, even the light meter. I shot an ISO 100 24 pic film. Once developed, I'll try B&W, (if the camera is ok).
Even not being a rangefinder, this camera is quite comfortable.
Let's see what happens with the lab.
Or is the "V" model (see last picture from the link) ?
Maybe I end collecting rangefinders at the end.
I'm sorry to not been shooting film for so long.
-The developing can be made in 1 hour till 3 days (depends on how much you pay).
-The films you can buy are of ISO 200 (no 100 or 400 or else) and mostly cheep ones (and bad) - some Konica , old Agfa . The best I could find are Kodak Gold 200 and Fuji Superia 200. So you can't buy slides and very, but very rare whtn you can find a B&W film (Fomapan).
-The films are kept in store, no frige is used (I didn't see it).
With all this, my joy of shooting film is turnin into disappointment .
That means something is wrong with this camera.
I hope you can fix it. I am sure you will soon be a specialist with all those experience. It's part of hobby.

Cuffy, Kofi of Coffy (overleden na 13 mei 1763) was aanvoerder van een slavenopstand van meer dan 2500 slaven in de Hollandse kolonie Berbice (in het huidige Guyana) in 1763. Cuffy was van Akan-afkomst. Hij werd in West-Afrika geboren en vandaar als slaaf door de WIC naar Berbice verhandeld. Daar werkte hij als huisslaaf op de plantage Lelienburg. Cuffy is een nationale held van Guyana.

Opstand

Op 23 februari 1763 kwamen de slaven in het gebied in opstand onder leiding van Cuffy, Cosala, Accabre, Atta, Akara en Goussari. In die tijd telde de hele kolonie slechts 346 blanken (mannen, vrouwen en kinderen) en 3833 Afrikaanse slaven. Vrijwel alle blanken ontvluchtten hun plantages, richting het noorden. Ongeveer veertig van hen vonden de dood.

De opstandelingen hielden het grootste deel van Berbice gedurende tien maanden bezet. Plantages werden verwoest, huizen verbrand en suikermolens onklaar gemaakt. Vanuit plantage Lelienburg vielen Cuffy en zijn mensen de plantages Juliana (Vlissingen), Mon Repos, Essendam, St. Elizabeth, Alexandra en Altenklingen, Hollandia en Zeelandia aan en namen ze in, waarna ze naar Fort Nassau trokken. De plantage De Peereboom werd op 3 maart 1763 aangevallen en de hierheen gevluchte blanken gevangengenomen, voordat Cuffy en zijn mensen hun laatste strijd om Fort Nassau planden. Op 2 april deed Cuffy een vredesvoorstel aan gouverneur Wolfert Simon van Hoogenheim: Berbice zou worden verdeeld tussen de blanken en de Afrikanen. De gouverneur stuurde geen antwoord, maar zocht ondertussen hulp in de nabijgelegen kolonies Suriname en Essequibo. Toen een antwoord uitbleef werd op 13 mei de aanval ingezet, die echter met grote verliezen werd teruggeslagen.

Verdeeldheid onder de rebellen en het arriveren van versterkingen voor de Nederlanders leidden ertoe dat de opstand uiteindelijk werd neergeslagen. Akara leidde niet-afgesproken aanvallen op Dageraad, op een moment waarop Europese versterking aangekomen was, en het Afrikaanse slavenleger leed zware verliezen. Cuffy kreeg een hevig meningsverschil met Akara. Akara werd afgezet en gedwongen te werken tussen de manschappen. Vervolgens sloot Akara een bondgenootschap met Atta tegen Cuffy. Kort daarna pleegde Cuffy zelfmoord.

De slavenopstand van Berbice was de eerste serieuze poging van een grote groep slaven in Guyana om hun vrijheid terug te winnen. Ook was het de eerste georganiseerde poging van slaven om hun vrijheid te herwinnen in het hele Amerikaanse continent. Het was de grootste opstand tot dan toe, tot aan de slavenopstand op Jamaica in 1791.

Jaarlijkse herdenking
De verjaardag van de slavenopstand van Cuffy, 23 februari, wordt sinds 1970 gevierd in Guyana als 'dag van de republiek'. In het centrum van Georgetown is een monument opgericht voor Cuffy.

Globally patients are experiencing great results from stem cell therapies. For someone interested in stem cell therapy, the Stem Cells Transplant Institute in Costa Rica is one of the best options. The mission of the Stem Cells Transplant Institute, under the direction of Dr. Leslie Mesén, is to treat each patient with respect and compassion, inspiring hope and nurturing healing. Using the most advanced technologies, the team of experts at The Stem Cells Transplant Institute believe in the potential of stem cell therapy for the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and many more. Based on clinical data showing positive results, our clinic provides treatments that have been approved by the Costa Rican government. The treatments offered are currently under investigation in the United States but have not yet reached the final stage of approval by the FDA.
Medical tourism used to mean traveling to the United States or Europe for procedures or medication not available in many other countries. However, today many people from the United States and Europe are traveling to other countries for medical treatment. Medical tourists come to Costa Rica because of its excellent healthcare, which is ranked higher than the U.S. by the World Health Organization. Physicians in Costa Rica are highly trained professionals completing at least 4 years of college and an additional 1-year internship; the medical universities are considered some of the best in Latin America and many physicians continue their training abroad. All practicing physicians must be affiliated with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Costa Rica, a professional body responsible for the audit of medicine and surgery.
Dr. Leslie Mesen, founder and CEO of the Stem Cells Transplant Institute, studied medicine at Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) in San José, Costa Rica. Dr. Mesen is board certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine by The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and receives continuing education courses in both the United States and Latin America.
Unlike traditional medicine, stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine focuses on addressing the cause of the disease rather than treating only the symptoms. Regenerative medicine uses stem cells to fix structures in the body that do not function properly due to an injury or disease. Stem cell therapy has the potential to improve the quality of life for many patients with chronic diseases such as; diabetes, Parkinson´s disease, Alzheimer´s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and many other inflammatory diseases. Esthetic treatments like anti-aging options, weigh-loss, and hormone treatments are also showing great potential in the wellness/medical tourism field in Costa Rica.
McKinsey and Company, an influential global consulting company, reported that medical tourists from the United States and Canada, prefer Latin American countries including Costa Rica because of the short travel time, affordable costs, and the opportunity to enjoy a memorable vacation. There are direct flights from many cities in the United States and Europe; it is only a 2.5 hour flight from Miami, Florida to San Jose, Costa Rica. The Stem Cells Transplant Institute is located close to the airport in Escazu, San Jose. Treatment packages include a two-night stay at the beautiful Intercontinental Hotel located just minutes from the clinic as well as shopping and restaurants. Another option for accommodations for patients to stay in would be the Hotel Quality Real San José. From either location, you could enjoy the rich culture and heritage of San Jose by taking a VIP bus tour or, if you are feeling a bit more adventurous, venture out on your own to Avenida Central and visit the many museums, parks, shops and restaurants located along the avenue.
The priority of the expert team at the Stem Cells Transplant Institute is to provide the best personalized care. Contact us to see if stem cell transplantation is a viable treatment option for you.


It takes a very smart or very stupid person to plan a recipe around a slightly odd ingredient they've never tasted before.
You be the judge (literally, for a week after January 24th, you can vote here…please vote for me…specifically THESE).
Three little cupcakes, all in a row...actually, these are the bigger ones.
I'd been noticing a lot of posts about a practically magical winter fruit that I'd never met in person before: the quince. From what I'd read and seen, I gathered that it was very similar to a pear or apple, only it smelled better and was utterly inedible (and white on the inside) without a long, hot bath in some sugar syrup (after which it would also be pinkish). Hmm…poached quince…not too different from poached pears, I bet…and what do we poach pears in?
Yes, that would be wine, which as I am all too aware, is the theme for this month's Iron Cupcake.
I decided to re-use the recipe for the Chardonnay cupcakes, only omitting the vanilla extract and nutmeg. In their place, I used the insides of a long, fat, juicy Madagascar vanilla bean, opting to keep the cake simple. I also cooked them slightly less than the first batch, because I wanted to keep them as soft as possible. I also stored them on the counter, lightly covered with plastic wrap, for a full 24 hours before filling and frosting. They are extra moist and lack the caramelized crust around the edge. They hold up just fine to refrigeration and freezing (they come to room temperature in about 5 minutes when refrigerated and are just as soft), which is pretty important since being able to freeze the frosting on them as soon as it was applied was a pretty big deal.
Yes, they're tiny buttercream roses (well, not so tiny in the case of those giant ones on top…there's only a few of those). No, I've never done them before. I just had a lot of tiny lopsided mini cupcakes to practice on. And had to switch to the cloth pastry bag that belonged to my grandmother…great grandmother? The seam around the tip of the cheap plastic pastry bag I had been using split, and I had to switch to a bigger petal tip. But it worked so much better and some of the cupcakes even kind of looked like roses!
So you can see there what I did with the quinces (which are as magic as they seem…they're covered with tufts of fuzz and smell like the sweetest pear candy ever, but are completely inedible until you cook them), but why did I want roses on the tops of my cupcakes? For practice? As a cute vehicle for those great pearlescent jimmies? To do justice to the adorable cupcake papers?
I would have liked to have photographed these outside in the grass...but this is Maine and there is a blizzard outside.
None of the above. The frosting is rose flavored! It is also a light and airy Swiss meringue buttercream (based on Joe Pastry's recipe). While I liked the French buttercream for the Merlot cupcakes, I didn't want something that rich. Besides, I needed yolks for some upcoming creme brulee!
I wish I had a garden tea party to take these to!
There used to be a recipe here, but since I am SO in love with these cupcakes and the voting is closed, I'll be keeping this one to myself from now on. If you are really interested, just ask and I may share it with you. It's just that if I ever end up opening a business that sells cupcakes, I'm going to want to put these on the menu at some point, and I'm going to want to retain the rights to my original recipes. Based on my notes above, you can pretty much figure out how I made these anyway.
What's the verdict? Well, I pretty much love them. These cupcakes are quite fruity from the wine and the quince, and two of my favorite things to eat are fruits and flowers. Z thinks they are good, though too fruity and girly for him. I ought to be coming through town on Monday morning, so if you see me and you like ridiculously fruity, girly, tiny cupcakes, try to snag one…and then vote for me later!
I thought I was going to keep it to two entries this time, but I just received an ingredient from my mom that qualifies for this challenge. If I add the rose buttercream (or just the rose flavor), plus another, trickier (to locate) ingredient, I'd have a famous flavor combination that I haven't had a chance to taste myself but would love to try.
I think I'll eat this guy tonight.
Those are some fancy looking cupcakes, they sound delicious!
These look wonderful. What a creative idea! And the presentation is so elegant!
These are beautiful! Well done! You are a very patient person. I would love to have these at a garden tea party. Thanks for the post.

Josh Clayton (born 17 January 1996) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is the son of former  player and  list manager, Scott Clayton, and was drafted under the father-son rule.

Clayton showed promise as a versatile player from a young age and played with the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup and for Vic Metro in the 2014 AFL Under 18 Championships. After he was drafted, he played various roles in Brisbane's reserves team in the North East Australian Football League, but his inconsistency meant that he was only able to play in two AFL matches before he was delisted at the end of the 2017 season.

Early life

Due to his prospects as a potential father-son selection, Clayton was able to train with the  for two weeks in December 2013 and January 2014. In 2014, he played for the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup and also represented Victoria Metro at the 2014 AFL Under 18 Championships. He played in a number of different positions, usually as a forward or midfielder and averaged 21.9 disposals per match in the TAC Cup.

AFL career
Clayton was drafted by the Brisbane Lions with their sixth selection and the eighty-sixth overall under the father–son rule in the 2014 national draft. Due to being a father-son selection and chosen in advance of the draft itself, Clayton was able to begin training with Brisbane a month early in November. His first season was expected to be mainly focused on development and he didn't play any games in the AFL in his first season, instead spending time playing for Brisbane's reserves side in the NEAFL playing in a number of different roles while the team suffered many player losses due to injuries. Though his initial contract lasted until the end of the 2016 season, he signed a contract extension at the end of 2015, adding another year to his contract and tying him at the club until 2017.

In 2016, Clayton played mainly across half-forward, but also had many stints across half-back throughout the season. Despite inconsistent form, he impressed enough to make his debut in Brisbane's sixty point loss to  in round 22 at the Gabba. He averaged 19 disposals per game in the NEAFL, but in the two AFL games he played as a half-forward he only managed a combined total of 12 disposals. He was delisted at the conclusion of the 2017 season.

Player profile

Clayton is a versatile player, who throughout his career played in the forward line, midfield and in defence. During his career, he was known for his athleticism and decision-making while in possession of the football. He also had good aerial skills and lateral movement, allowing him to easily move through traffic in the midfield. He also showed prowess as a forward with his fast and smart leading. For a while he played across half-back in the NEAFL, but struggled more in defence than he did elsewhere on the ground. In his two AFL games, he was noted for his running ability.

Personal life

Clayton's father is Scott Clayton, who played 160 games for  and worked as 's list manager. This helped Clayton with his adjustment to AFL even though Scott worked for a different club than the one that Clayton was drafted by.

1. Yamunotri Dham Yatra
Success is largely a matter of holding on after others have let go.Seat of: Goddess Yamuna
District: Uttarkashi
Yamunotri, the seat of Goddess Yamuna, is the source of the Yamuna River. The actual source and glacier is located at an altitude of 4421 meters above the sea level, about 1 km further up. But it is not easily accessible. For the same reason, the shrine has been located at the Yamunotri Temple at the foot of the hill. Pilgrims offer prayers at the temple itself.
Legend: According to a popular legend, sage Asit Muni – who had his hermitage here – bathed daily in both Ganga and Yamuna. When, due to his old age, he could no longer go to Gangotri, a stream of River Ganga appeared opposite Yamunotri for him to bathe.
Yamunotri Temple: Situated in the Garhwal hills at an altitude of 3291 meters above the sea level, the temple was built in the 19th century by Maharani Gularia of Jaipur. Goddess Yamuna is represented here in the form of a silver idol. Chardham Tour Operators in Rishikesh And Haridwar
Opening hours:6 am – 8 pm; 1st week of May – Diwali
Aarti time: 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Surya Kund: It is one of many thermal springs in the region. The Goddess Yamuna is believed to be the daughter of Surya (the Sun god) and Sangya.
Divya Shila: It is a powerful rock pillar near the Surya Kund at Yamunotri. As a ritual, the pilgrims offer prayers to the pillar before entering Yamunotri.
2. Gangotri Dham Yatra
Seat of: Goddess Ganga
Gangotri – the seat of Goddess Ganga – is frequented by millions of pilgrims each year. The Gangotri Dham is set 19 km from Gaumukh – the place where Ganga River originates. From Gaumukh in the Gangotri Glacier, the river flows as Bhagirathi up to Devprayag. Here, it merges with Alakananda and forms Ganga as we know it.
Legend: According to the Hindu mythology, Goddess Ganga took the form of the river to cleanse the ashes and liberate the souls of King Bhagiratha's predecessors when Bhagiratha meditated to please the goddess. To minimize the impact of her fall, Lord Shiva placed her in his matted locks. At the point of impact, the goddess came to be known as Bhagirathi.
Another legend talks of Ganga as beautiful woman born out of Lord Brahma's kamandalu (water vessel). It is said that Lord Brahma washed Lord Vishnu's feet after the latter killed the demon Bali in his reincarnated form of Vaman. Lord Brahma, thereafter, collected this water in his kamandalu. And Goddess Ganga was born out of it.
Gangotri Temple: Built in the 18th century by the Gorkha General Amar Singh Thapa, the temple is home to the shrine of Gangotri.Opening hours: 6:30 am – 2 pm, 3 pm – 9:30 pm; 1st week of May – Diwali
Bhagirath Shila: It is believed to be the holy rock where King Bhagirath prayed to Lord Shiva.
Submerged Shivling: This Shivalingam is submerged in the waters of River Bhagirathi at Gangotri. According to the Hindu mythology, it is here that Lord Shiva sat to receive Goddess Ganga in his locks.
Pandava Gufa: A 1.5 km trek from Gangotri takes you to the Pandava Gufa where the Pandavas are believed to have meditated and rested en route Kailash.
3. Kedarnath Dham Yatra
Seat of: Lord Shiva
District: Rudraprayag
Located near the head of the River Mandakini in the Himalayas, Kedarnath is flanked by breathtaking snow-clad mountains. The city is named after King Kedar who ruled in the Satya Yuga. The saintly king is believed to be the ruler of the 7 continents. His daughter – Vrinda – is believed to be a partial incarnation of the Goddess Laxmi.
Legend: According to a popular legend, Nar & Narayana (two incarnations of Lord Vishnu) prayed in front of a Shivalingam in Badrikashraya of Bharat Khand. Pleased by their devotion, Lord Shiva granted them a boon. The duo requested Shiva to take up a permanent seat as a Jyotirlinga at Kedarnath so as to free the devotees of Lord Shiva from all their miseries.
Kedarnath Temple: Built in the 8th century by the Hindu philosopher Adi Shankaracharya, the Kedarnath Temple is known to be built in the same vicinity as the ancient temple built by the Pandavas. A conical rock formation inside the temple is worshipped by the devotees as Sadashiva, a form of Lord Shiva.
Gandhi Sarovar: The lake is believed to the place from where Yudhishthir – the eldest Pandava – departed to heaven.
Shankaracharya Samadhi: Located very close to the Kedarnath Temple, the place is believed to be the place where Adi Shankaracharya took Samadhi.
Bhairon Temple: Located 1 km from the Kedarnath Temple, the Bhairon Temple is believed to be the home to the protector of the Kedarnath Temple and valley.
4. Badrinath Dham Yatra
Seat of: Lord Vishnu
District: Chamoli
The main deity here is the Lord Vishnu, worshipped in his aspect of Badrinarayan. This Dham is the only one that is a part of both the original Char Dham and the Chhota Char Dham circuits.
Legend: According to the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Badrinath is the place where Nar & Narayana – the dual forms of Lord Vishnu – meditated. The holy town has also been mentioned as a destination that the Pandavas crossed en route heaven. Another popular legend tells that Sage Vyasa authored Mahabharata at a cave in Mana, a destination approximately 4 km from Badrinath. Chardham Tour Operators in Haridwar.
Badrinath Temple: The story goes back to the time of Shankaracharya who discovered a black Saligram stone image of Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Badrinarayan. He enshrined the same in a cave near Tapt Kund hot springs. In the 16th century, the king of Garhwal moved the stone idol into the present day temple.
Neelkanth: The 'Garhwal Queen' is a snowy peak that forms a pyramid-like background to the Badrinath Temple. The peak, 6597 meters above the sea level, is the first place to receive the sun's light in the region.
Tapt Kund: The abode of Lord Agni, Tapt Kund is a hot spring that is famous for its medicinal properties. Surya Kund and Narada Kund are also present in the vicinity.
Vasudhara Falls: The 400 feet high waterfalls are located 4 km from Badrinath in the Mana Village. It is believed that the water of the falls will turn away from the visitors who are not pure at heart.

More people have equity in their homes! – Call Michelle, Call it Sold!
This is such great news that I just had to share it. I remember years ago when I started my real estate career, it was very common that I would have to figure out how much my sellers would have to BRING to closing to sell their home.
Many times, I had to tell people that it really was not feasible for the to sell at the time. I would tell them to sit tight if they could. Some took that advice, but others had to move for whatever reason and many lost big.
It was quite disheartening for sellers to realize that they would have to pay to sell their homes. Sometimes I would have to explain that the boat or RV in the driveway, which they used a Home Equity Line of Credit to buy was they reason that they now couldn't move.
I am so happy that so many people are coming out of being underwater on their homes, and they will now be able to make their dreams of a new home come true!!
If you are one of the MILLIONS of people who have been waiting to sell, let me know. If I can't list your house myself because of location, then I can refer you to an awesome agent in your area!

The Uncommon Life
Uncommon Knowledge
Uncommon Knowledge: Why Do Ladies Love Cool James?
Science has finally confirmed the reason ladies love the rather literally named LL Cool J—at least if humans are anything like birds, specifically nightingales. Research suggests that the quality of a male nightingale's song lets females know how good a father he'll be.
The study, published in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, found that the better the male nightingale was at singing, the more often he fed his offspring, which is especially important because the males play a big role in raising their young. Because all nightingales are pretty talented singers, it's essential that the ladies are real critics of nocturnal ditties. They listen not just for the quality of their potential mate's chirp but also for the complexity of his crooning—scientists found that it's flight-of-fancy variations such as "buzz," "whistle," and "trill" that really earn him bonus points.

Just to try out the idea, and because this loom is currently not in use and has a warp on it, I wove a few inches of brocade with two widely spaced satin-based brocade wefts on a plain weave base.
I like the transparency effect of the white weft.
And then for a change of scenery, I spent some time on this never-ending dobby warp, interleaved networked thingies, but it didn't go well.
My copy of an exhibition catalog featuring Ethel Stein, Weaver, just arrived via the UPS truck at my front door, so I think I'll quit for the day, make a cup of tea, and enjoy the book.
Do I believe that? No, not necessarily. But frequently, after circling around, exploring permutations, saying multiple what-ifs, I come back to my first idea and find it to be the best one of all. I don't know if that is the case here, but here is my first thought about brocade.
What direction do I want to take? Dobby? 8 shafts? 16 shafts? Jacquard? Pickup? No idea. But I do know that I want an airy fabric, something completely different from the lampas I've been working on the past two years.
I have a good book to recommend to you: A Box of Matches, by Nicholson Baker. It's about a middle-aged man who every day gets up very early and tries to figure out what his life is about. Nothing much happens, but everything is examined. A moving and very funny read.
As I pause on the homeward leg of my journey, here are a few words about the Complex Weavers Seminars 2016, just ended. It was a well organized conference. I thought Janice Lessman Moss's keynote address was thoughtful and inspiring, and the seminars I attended information-packed and thought-provoking. The Complexity exhibit contained a generous helping of blockbusters and plenty of other solid and well-crafted pieces. The informal exhibitions & events, including poster sessions, were enjoyable (I hope the poster sessions will be a permanent part of CW). The fashion show was as usual a highlight.
A very big thank you to all the organizers and other volunteers who made this event possible. See you in 2018!
In Auburn, Indiana. Worth a trip for car enthusiasts and Art Deco fans.
In the textile dept. of the Chicago Art Institute, a beautiful lampas by Ethel Stein, brought out for us to enjoy. Frabjous day!
This is what a roomful of weavers looks like.
Ninety of my best friends waiting for me to begin my lampas seminar this morning.
Complex Weavers Seminars 2016 began tonight with Janice Lessman-Moss's keynote address, "Between the Lines: Mapping Meaning in textiles." It was a thoughtful and inspiring presentation, and afterwards the attendees (some pf whom are pictured below) got to take a closer look at some of Janice's samples.
Tomorrow the seminars and study group meetings begin.
So many weavers in one place! Love seeing old friends.
Pheasant Run Resort, St Charles IL (near Chicago).
First, a jacquard sighting in Indiana.
Next, a repeat pattern spotted while touring a distillery in Kentucky yesterday.
Revisiting the drafts I showed you a few days ago, I wondered what a spotty and eccentric liftplan would do for this interleaved threading. The result is surprising.
This might be useful where a multicolor crosswise striped effect is wanted, and here's the bonus: only one shuttle.

First Major US Study Of Body-Cam Show Police Bias Against Black People
The first major US study of body-cam footage concluded that police, at least in Oakland, California, showed more respect to white people than to black people.
The study from Stanford University researchers analyzed the transcribed text from 981 traffic stops caught on body cams by 245 Oakland Police Department officers in 2014. White people pulled over were more likely to be called "ma'am" or "sir," and they were more likely to hear the words "please" and "thank you" from police officers. Black people, however, didn't get as much respect, and they were more likely to be called by their first names and even "my man."
"Indeed, we find that white community members are 57 percent more likely to hear an officer say one of the most respectful utterances in our dataset, whereas black community members are 61 percent more likely to hear an officer say one of the least respectful utterances in our dataset," according to the study. (PDF) The results held constant no matter the race of the officer, the study said.
The researchers point out that their survey underscores that data collected from body cams can have more uses than for just police work. They say their research model can be duplicated with other police departments.
"This work demonstrates the power of body-camera footage as an important source of data, not just as evidence," the researchers found.
The researchers cautioned that the study was conducted with only the transcripts of 183 hours of body-cam footage, not the footage itself. And privacy concerns notwithstanding, the researchers said that more could be learned from body-cam studies if they listened to the audio and watched the footage. They wrote:
'However, studying body-camera footage presents numerous hurdles, including privacy concerns and the raw scale of the data. The computational linguistic models presented here offer a path toward addressing both these concerns, allowing for the analysis of transcribed datasets of any size, and generating reliable ratings of respect automatically.'
A review of the actual footage could also act as a teaching moment for police departments. "In addition, footage analysis could help us better understand what linguistic acts lead interactions to go well, which can inform police training and quantify its impacts over time," they said.
'The studies presented here open a path toward these future opportunities and represent an important area of research for the study of policing: computational, large-scale analyses of language give us a way to examine and improve police–community interaction that we have never had before.'

Q: Quill text editor how to use instances after creating with JQuery I'm using Quill text editor as the text editor of my site, one of the site options is to create dynamic text editors, the function that defines the quill editor looks like that:
function quillDefine(quillID) //quillID is the id of the div that I'm going to define as quill element
{
    var toolbarOptions =
        [
            ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike'],
            ['blockquote'],
            [{'align':[]}],
            ['clean']
        ]

    var quill = new Quill('#'+quillID, {
        modules: {toolbar: toolbarOptions},
        theme: 'snow'
    });
}

how can I use this quill instance that I created inside other funcitons?
for example:
funciton getQuillInstanceText(quillID)
{
    //I know I can use $('#'quillID).html(), but is that the proper way to do so?
}

I want to use the quill API functions like getContents() and etc.
How can I reach to the instance I just created?
Thanks a lot.

A: Unfortunately there is no Quill API that will return a Quill instance from a corresponding DOM container. If you are using jQuery you can use $.data():
var quill = new Quill(quillID);
$(quillID).data("quill", quill);

funciton getQuillInstanceText(quillID) {
  var quill = $(quillID).data("quill");
  var text = quill.getText();
  return text;
}

Or with plain JS:
var container = document.querySelector(quillID);
var quill = new Quill(container);
container.__quill = quill;

funciton getQuillInstanceText(quillID) {
  var container = document.querySelector(quillID);
  var quill = container.__quill;
  var text = quill.getText();
  return text;
}

Edit: As of Quill 1.2.0, you can now use the experimental find API.

A: Instead of saving the editor object as an attribute of the HTML, you can also create an object that will hold all editors, and you can store and get each editor by key (ID) whenever you want:
var editors={};
editors[quilID] = new Quill(quilID);

function getQuillInstanceText(quillID) {
  var quill = editors[quillID];
  var text = quill.getText();
  return text;
}

In this case you don't need any DOM querying nor JQuery.
