We'll look to build on our happy memories from IPL 2020 season: DC's Patel
By on	 September 19, 2021 Sports
Dubai, Sep 19 (IANS) Delhi Capitals all-rounder Axar Patel believes that his team will look to build on its happy memories from the IPL 2020 edition ahead of the second half of the IPL 2021 starting September 19. Patel had taken nine wickets in 15 matches in the 2020 edition of the IPL, where Delhi finished as runners-up.
"When it was announced that the second half of the tournament will be held in the UAE, I thought about our performance the last time we were here. We have happy memories from that tournament as we reached our first-ever IPL final. We are looking to repeat our performance and hopefully, just go one step further in the final this season," said Patel in a release by the franchise on Sunday.
Patel, who was part of the Indian squad for the Test series in England, pointed out the massive difference in weather conditions between UK and UAE.
"It's been a drastic change for us as far as the weather is concerned. It was quite cold in England and now we are getting used to the heat here. When we stood on our balconies during quarantine, we got an idea about the heat, but we got to know the full extent of the weather conditions when we started practicing in the nets. We are looking to get used to the conditions in the next 2-3 days."
When asked about his personal goals for the remainder of the IPL 2021, the 27-year-old said, "My personal goals are always aligned with the team goals. I always think about what the team needs and then set my personal goals accordingly. I always carry out my preparations according to the team's requirements. And personally, I just look to get better with every match in every season."
Delhi Capitals, ranked on top of the points table, are set to take on bottom-ranked Sunrisers Hyderabad on September 22 in Dubai in re-starting their second leg of IPL 2021.

EmberConf 2019 Reflections
Chris Garrett | 25 Mar 2019
Another year, another EmberConf! I always love coming up to Portland and visiting the community and my friends within it, it's a nice break after what is usually a hectic season at the start of the year. This year I decided to do a quick retrospective post, to get my thoughts and feels out there while they're still fresh.
Lots of New Faces
The Ember community is fairly tight-knit, a lot of us know each other pretty well, or have at least seen each other around over the years. In fact, I definitely missed a few people who couldn't make it this year, or have moved on to other frameworks and communities. But there were a whole bunch of new attendees there this year as well!
A lot of the newcomers had showed up in Discord or in other places online before the conference, but plenty hadn't. Overall it felt like the community had grown, and grown a bit more diverse at that! It always feels good to see new faces and people joining up, and I really hope their EmberConf was a good as my first one.
It's also a reminder that we are always growing, and that we have to remember to make sure we don't get carried away and forget that there are always beginners and other folks trying to level-up, and we shouldn't accidentally leave them behind. This is going to be a major focus to me personally this quarter as I begin to focus on the upgrade story for Ember Octane, and making sure it's as straightforward and easy as possible. Speaking of Octane...
The Octane Excitement Was Real
I had so many different conversations with so many different people who were incredibly enthusiastic about Octane! This is probably the most excited I've seen the community in years about new features, and it really felt validating for all the hard work we've been putting into them. There were a lot of hard decisions we had to make along the way, but it's all paying off now!
Of course, we still have to polish up and ship the edition in the coming months, but all of the early feedback has been invaluable, and really at this point it's mostly about fixing bugs and patching up a few holes here and there. I think the move toward the Edition concept and terminology is really going over well, and I'm more eager than ever to get the final edition out there for Ember users to adopt in their apps!
A11y Was Front-And-Center
It was really great to see such a large emphasis place on accessibility this year. From Melanie's excellent day-one closer, to the variety of conversations I had with folks who were clearly passionate about an accessible web, it was clear the community cares about this and wants to make it better. I think Ember is on track to be one of the better SPA frameworks out there for a11y, and our emphasis on conventions will really help us here in the long run.
It was also very encouraging to see that this was a major concern in leadership as well! The core teams talked about this a lot at the all-hands face-to-face, and it was clear that they all cared a lot about it. We had some great ideas spark out of that conversation, and I'm excited to work on them - hopefully I'll have more to share on that in the near-future 😄
I Love This Community
Really, my biggest take-away personally this year was how much I love being an Emberist. This community is full of amazing, wonderful, smart, caring, and thoughtful people, and I really enjoy being a part of it and coming back every year. There are tons of little details - the fact that we have child-care to make it as easy as possible for folks with families to come, the pronoun stickers, the swag-recycle drop, the no-photography lanyards, the MCs - that capture just how much time and effort goes into it every year. All of this is emblematic of the values of the Ember community, that we always try to outdo ourselves, always try to find a way to be better than we were before.
Coming back to Portland always feels like, in many ways, coming back home, because of that. I'm so glad I got to see everyone again this year, and if I missed you, I hope I'll see you next time! ❤

Ember Octane Update: What's up with `@action`?
It's been a little over two weeks since EmberConf, and three weeks…
Coming Soon in Ember Octane - Part 5: Glimmer Components
Hello again, and welcome back! This is the fifth and final entry…

We're straight shooters at Silverware, and prefer straight up answers over sales-speak, but when we are first asked by a prospect, "What does Sage Intacct cost?" our initial answer is likely to be a bit vague; something akin to, "It all depends." In truth, no business software vendor can answer that question for you without knowing a lot more about your business and the challenges you're facing. It's just not a simple answer like, "Here is the Sage Intacct pricing list." But we understand that you need a frame of reference – a starting point for the journey – so we're providing you with the following thoughts on how much you could and should be spending, and why.
There is a broad set of core financial functionality included with Sage Intacct, complemented by a long list of optional, more specialized functionality such as project accounting and contract management. Training and implementation – and do not think for a minute that cloud-ERP implements itself – vary considerably depending on your unique circumstances. So you see, it really does depend on the situation and needs of the organization.
The low entry costs of cloud ERP solutions like Sage Intacct – compared to the hefty upfront perpetual license model of most on premise ERPs – is enormously attractive. Be aware, though, that system costs tend to converge over time, so be certain you're making a careful, well-thought-out comparison.
The reality is that you should spend what it takes to solve your business challenges – or as many as you fiscally can. And in general, business software is a cost-effective way to solve problems.
Consider even one manual task, such as printing and mailing invoices. If that task takes an employee two hours each week and they earn $25/hour, you're spending $2,600 annually in labor to deliver those invoices. Add in postage and you might double that amount. If your business management software supports electronic invoice delivery, you just saved $5,000 annually. That $5,000 would help offset the cost of the software, and your employee could be assigned to more value-added tasks.
Our clients have shared dozens of these time- and labor-saving examples with us over the years. Report creation, generation, and distribution is another task that often involves a lot of time and effort. Sage Intacct's reporting engine automates much of this task, allowing you to add the overhead savings to the bottom line.
David Thikoll is the director of business development at Silverware. Silverware designs, implements, and supports accounting, business management, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions for mid-market businesses.

Kitaab al-Ghaybah
By Shaikh at-Taa'efah, Abu Ja'far Muhammad Ibn Hasan al-Toosi (a.r.)
In this article, we introduce our readers to the famous book "Kitaab Al-Ghaybah" by the revered scholar 'Shaikh at-Taa'efah' Abu Ja'far Muhammad Ibn Hasan al-Tusi (a.r.).
The following are some of the titles conferred upon this great personality: "The Imam of the Imamiah sect after the Infallible Imams (a.s.)"; "The Pillar of the Shi'ites" and "The Scholar of Fundamentals and Branches of Religion."
Some of our eminent scholars also praise him thus: The Learned, the Practitioner, the Way (sabeel), the Judicious, the Pure, the Noble, the Insightful, the Skilled in law, the Explainer, etc.
He has authored books on various aspects of Islamic sciences. He was celebrated as the standard in these sciences. His style and writings are an example for the Shias. Our scholars have benefited a lot from his writings and will continue to do so, Inshallah.
Kitaab al-Ghaybah is one of his more famous compilations. It is an excellent source for dispelling misgivings and doubts about the Occultation of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.).
The author himself notes that he has collected authentic traditions to answer different queries regarding Occultation.
Kitaab al-Ghaybah comprises of one preface and eight chapters.
A Note on the Chapter of Occultation
Sheikh Al-Tusi (r.a.) says that we use two ways to prove the Occultation of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.).
The first approach is the necessity of the presence of an infallible Imam (as people are not infallible and are prone to wrong judgement or personal benefit). So, in every era, they need a Guide and Leader to direct their affairs. An infallible leader has to be always present, irrespective of whether he is apparent and manifest or in Occultation and hidden.
However, a few people acknowledge such people who are very much fallible as the Masters (Saaheb al-Amr) and Prophet's (s.a.w.a.) successors. But, their actions and deeds have testified to their fallibility and thereby, their falsity. Hence, it is improper to acknowledge them as an Imam.
Therefore, sects such as the Kaisaniyyah, Naadusiyyah, Fathiyyah, Waqefiyyah, etc, who believe in the Occultation of such (fallible or dead) leaders are misguided.
We believe in the son of Imam Hasan al-Askari (a.s.), His Occultation and birth are validated (through proofs and traditions in the book). Following these proofs, there is further discussion on his birth and the causes of Occultation.
The second approach is that it is not necessary that the Occultation should be taken as a benchmark to prove the Imamat of Imam (a.t.f.s.). (Rather if the Imamate of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) is proved, then Occultation of Imam (a.s.) is consequently proven).
Therefore, if our opponents acknowledge our beliefs (i.e. there are only twelve successors to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and Imam Zamana (a.t.f.s.) is the son of eleventh Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.) and is already born) and after accepting the Imamate of Imam (a.t.f.s.), the answer to the question of his Occultation, should be their own liability. While, if they do not accept the Imamate of Imam (a.t.f.s.), then their objection or question on the Occultation of Imam (a.t.f.s.) is not appropriate.
Whenever the proof of Imamate is demanded from us, we have proved through convincing arguments, at relevant junctures, that the presence of an infallible guide is necessary in all circumstances and in every era, in the midst of fallible people on whom religious responsibilities have been imposed. We've also proved that infallibility is one of the necessary conditions for being an Imam.
Following this preamble, we say that the Muslims are divided in a few groups on the belief of Imam's being.
The first believes that the Imam does not exist in midst of the people. But the evidences which we've offered counter and negate in every era their claims on the presence of an Imam.
The second acknowledges fallible humans as their Imams. This belief too is dismissed under our contention that infallibility is a must for an Imam. We can easily make out from their apparent state that they were transgressors and fallible. There's no need to prove something which is clearly known and obvious.
The third is that of the Kaisaniyyah, who subscribe to the leadership of Muhammad Ibn Hanafiyyah. Similarly, the Nusiyyah say that Imam Ja'far Sadeq (a.s.) is still alive and he is the Imam of the last era. The Waaqefiyyah have not accepted any Imam after Imam Musa Kazim (a.s.) and believe that he is still alive.
Our arguments (the arguments in the book 'Kitaab al-Ghaybah') clearly bring out the baselessness of these beliefs.
Respected readers, we're introducing the book Kitaab al-Ghaybah so that the Shi'ites of Ahle Bait (a.s.) may derive the maximum benefit from the effort undertaken by our revered scholars, by referring to this book.
To make it interesting, we also present the initial arguments of this book, so as to encourage the inquisitive minds for further reference to evidences regarding Imamate.
In giving evidences of Occultation, we have chosen two ways by which the beliefs of the false sects are rejected outright.
Furthermore, these arguments depend on three things; the need and existence of an Imam, the infallibility of the Imam and that the truth (haqq) will never ever abandon the Islamic Ummah.
We will now present these core principles briefly. These detailed accounts are present in books written on the evidences of Imamat. Here, we narrate only the evidences related to Occultation of the Imam of our time (a.t.f.s.).
Following are the topics found in this book:
1. The rational and traditional proofs of Imam-e-Zamana's (a.t.f.s.) birth. (Pg 153-166)
2. Incidents and narrations in which those who have met him (a.t.f.s.) are mentioned. (Pg 167-189)
3. The truth of Imam's (a.s.) Imamate in the Era of Occultation proved through miracles. (Pg 189-222)
4. The causes of the delay in Reappearance. (Pg 222-231)
5. The emissaries and representatives in the period of Occultation (Pages 231-279). There are two kinds of emissaries discussed here: the honoured ones and the censurable ones. The honoured personalities are those who were appointed by Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) and the criticised ones are those who transgressed and appointed themselves as emissaries and representatives of Imam (a.s.).
6. Imam-e-Zamana's (a.t.f.s.) long-life. (Pg 283).
7. The signs of Reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) (Pg 289).
8. Imam-e-Zamana's (a.t.f.s.) qualities, position, stature and way of life (Pg 310-354).
Brief tracts from Kitab al-Ghaybah
On the eve of his martyrdom, Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) asked Ameerul Momeneen Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.):
O Abul Hasan, bring a pen and a paper.
Then he (s.a.w.a.) dictated his will, in which he said:
O Ali, after me there'll be twelve Imams… you are the first among them and Allah has named you Ali al-Murtaza, Siddique-e-Akbar, Farooque-e-Azam, Al-Maamoon and Mahdi. These names don't befit anyone else… you are my vicegerent, upon my Ahle Bait and upon my wives. After me, you are the caliph of my nation till you live. Then you hand this over to my son Hasan (a.s.). Then he hands over to my son Husain (a.s.), then… then…then….then…and then when the time of death arrives for Hasan al-Faazil, he will entrust it to his son Muhammad al-Mustahfiz.
(Kitab al-Ghaybah, Shaikh Al-Tusi (r.a.), Pg 107-108)
Ja'far Himyari asked Muhammad Ibn Usman (r.a.):
Have you seen Saheb al-Amr (a.t.f.s.)?
He said: Yes and the last time I saw him was when he was near the Holy House of Allah (Kaaba), reciting:
"O My Allah, Fulfill what You have promised me"
Then he [Muhammad bin Usman (r.a.)] said:
Then I saw Imam (a.s.) holding the cloth of the Kaaba and pray in a state of mourning,
"O My Allah! Take revenge from your enemies through me."
(Pg 168)
A few people met Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) during the Hajj in 293 A.H. and narrated a few supplications from him (a.s.). One such supplication, he said, Imam Ali ibn Husain Sayyad-us-Saajedeen (a.s.) would recite at this (under the Hijrul Meezaab) place.
Abeedoka be Fenaaek
Miskeenoka be fenaaek
Faqeeroka be fenaaek
Saaeloka be fenaaek
Va as-aloka ma la yaqdero alaihe ghairok (Pg 173).
Finally, we pray to Allah,
'O Allah! Show us his handsome and illuminated visage, make our eyes capable of beholding him and hasten the reappearance of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.). Aameen!

Following from the post Free to Choose: Mass Customization for Modern Manufacturers, here is the second rule to live by for modern mass customizers.
For practical reasons, manufacturers have to set limitations on range of configurability in their product architecture. These limitations are driven by a wide variety of business and technical requirements, including manufacturing constraints (Is it possible to assemble this?), and sales and marketing strategies (Do we want to offer this to our customers?) For many companies, it is tempting to try to control these limitations with brute force, identifying all the possible product configurations up front, and allowing customers to choose from an approved catalog. Without the right technology, this is often the only option. This is prohibitive, however, when you consider the number of permutations that must be defined, documented, and managed for a highly dynamic product. Imagine the task of identifying every possibly way a Lego kit could be put together, and you can understand magnitude of complexity with this approach.
A better strategy is to focus on uncovering the governing logic behind the configuration of your products, and to capture this logic into a manageable set of business rules. Establish rules that define what cannot be done, and rules that define what must be done. Part A and Part B cannot be on the same assembly. If you have Part C, you must have Part D. Document and manage rules that define other relevant business and technical requirements to include spatial constraints, approved vendors and lead times. By making your business rules the manageable asset rather than a massive list of possible configurations, you simplify the business problems inherent in product customization, and unleash configuration possibilities that you may not have known existed. Use a customer-interfacing product configurator, and operate within the boundaries set by your business rules, allowing your customer to freely explore and discover product configurations that meet their unique needs.
To realize success from a rules-driven product management approach, rule development should be considered a necessary phase of the product lifecycle. New product components or architectures should not be released without a complete set of business rules that define how those components can be arranged into a saleable product configuration. Integration with a PLM system is critical to oversee this development process, and to maintain associativity between your rules and your product data.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation v. Lubell case brief
Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation v. Lubell case brief summary
Appellant purchaser sought review of an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (New York) that dismissed the purchaser's statute of limitations defense, brought under N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214(3), in an action by appellee museum to recover stolen artwork.
A museum filed suit to recover a stolen painting that was currently in a purchaser's possession. The purchaser obtained the painting many years before from a reputable art gallery. The trial court dismissed the purchaser's statute of limitations defense.
The court affirmed.
The court held that while there was a three-year statute of limitations for recovery of a chattel, N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214(3), the cause of action for replevin against the purchaser of the stolen artwork accrued when the museum made demand for return of the artwork and the purchaser refused to return it.
The court held that there was no duty of reasonable diligence on the museum for purposes of the statute of limitations.
The court held that it would be impossible to craft a reasonable diligence requirement that would take into account all variables.
However, the court held that the museum's conduct in failing to apprise anyone of the loss of the painting could be considered in the purchaser's laches defense.
The court affirmed the dismissal of appellant purchaser's statute of limitations defense in an action by appellee museum to recover stolen artwork.

5100A-D/90° HPBW, Uni-Directional Antenna
dBs 5100A-D/90° HPBW
The dBs 5100A-D is a uni-directional broadband, 10 element, higher performance, collinear dipole phased array designed specifically for use as an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) antenna. It exhibits very low side lobe levels and negative angle radiation (minimizes multipath). The above-the-horizon null-filled pattern minimizes the radiated cone of silence. The antenna handles input power to 5,000 watts at the standard ADS-B pulse duty cycle and operates over its entire frequency range with an input VSWR at 50 ohms of less than 2.5:1.
This antenna provides vertically polarized, uni-directional coverage with the main beam of radiation tilted upward to minimize the effects of ground reflections. The horizontal HPBW is a nominal 90°. The array has two integral monitor probes which constantly sample the RF signal delivered to the antenna.
The array is enclosed and effectively weatherproofed within a 6.25″ O.D. filament wound, ground smooth fiberglass radome for prolonged trouble-free use under severe environmental conditions. The uni-directional radiation pattern is produced by a full-length pattern shaping element within the radome. Mounting is made by means of an integral base flange with 6 each mounting bolt holes. All RF input/output ports are Type N receptacles.
Obstruction light power is fed through the array and a provision is made for mounting an obstruction light and/or lightning arrestor at the top of the array.
Lightning rod kit, obstruction light, pipe adapter (with or without cover), and plate adapter are available option items.
The model dBs 5100A-D ADS-B antenna has been designed for ruggedness, lightweight, minimum size, long life, and in accordance with FAA-E-2754 and FAA-G-2100. Exceeds the requirements of the UK CAA specification.
dBs 5100A-D/90º with Marine Option: The dBs 5100A-D/90º Marine Version antenna is an optional upgrade from the base model. The RF transmission assembly is completely sealed and weatherproofed to protect in harsh environments such as salt water, extreme humidity, wind, sand, snow, and ice. Contact our factory for more details.

Your favourite chocolate artisans, Planète Chocolat, give you the opportunity of using their delivery service for shipping gifts anywhere in Oregon. Take advantage of this service to taste the most delicious chocolate candies, caraques and truffles in America. Relive your childhood memories!
Chocolate and Oregon - they have a long history, which attendees will discover during National Chocolate Day, celebrated every year on October 28th. So, in Portland, there are quite a few signs that put this ingredient in the spotlight, like the chocolatey creations at the store Alma, chocolate beverages by Cocoa, or even homemade delicacies created by Pitch Dark Chocolate, Woodblock Chocolate or Xocolatl de David. Oregon possesses a passageway to one of the biggest chocolate fountains in the world. This can be seen at a store called The Candy Basket, not too far from Portland, which contains 2 tons of chocolate that flows continuously.
Chocolate is a closely observed ingredient in this west-coast U.S. state, which borders the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, at the University of Oregon, researchers created a test decades ago having to do with chocolate addiction. Researchers observed brain MRIs of women that ingested a chocolate milkshake. The conclusions were relentless ; the chocolate beverage automatically triggered parts of their brain that stimulate pleasure… what a way to attract fans!
But, addict or not, chocolate has a special place in most of our hearts, and makes a lovely gourmet gift to give to somebody all year round. For all of the traditional holidays like Christmas, Easter, birthdays, babies being born, baptisms, weddings, Valentine's Day or as a simple act of kindness, take advantage of this delivery service offered by Planète Chocolat in Oregon!
In order to guarantee a quality delivery service to Oregon, we wrap your chocolate in a special isothermal package invented by cooling specialists if temperatures tend to be high. Your chocolate is sensitive to heat and fragile, therefore it is protected from impact and kept at a temperature under 20 degrees until it arrives at its destination. Thus, quality and taste are always guaranteed.

Building The Asian Television Network
By: Shan Chandrasekar
From: Polyphony Vol.12, 1990 pp. 47-52
© 1991 Multicultural History Society of Ontario
The Asian Television Network is an important communications link among the South Asian communities of Ontario, and between them and Ontarians generally. Its founder has also established an important new link that connects Toronto with an international South Asian communications network. It is a business, a kinship connection, and a contribution to the development of multicultural understanding in Ontario.
My father, K. Subrahmanyam, gave up a law career to become a film maker, and in 1936, he became the first South Indian to make a motion picture with sound. Over the next twenty years he became a major figure in the Indian film industry, producing some three hundred feature films as well as short films and documentaries. He achieved enormous success but had his share of failures as well, and our very large family experienced both great affluence and extreme deprivation. We learned to appreciate whatever we acquired and to cope with adversity.
Like so many others who lived through and participated in this dynamic period of social reform and freedom struggle in India, my father sacrificed an easy life for the challenge of leadership. He made one of the first anti-caste films, attracting controversy and criticism even within our family. His subsequent work dealing with the remarriage of widows and child marriage entrenched his reputation as a rebel and an enemy of traditional social values. His film "Tyaga Boomi" (Land of Sacrifice) was a contribution to the nationalist movement and was banned by the British government. He was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi, and this was reflected in his film "Gita Gandhi", which was also banned. The negatives were seized and he was kept for a time under house arrest; for almost eight months he was not allowed to make films.
Although much of this happened before I was born, my father's achievements and the film business dominated my childhood years. After independence in 1947, he worked with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and was one of the first to lead an Indian film delegation to the United States. It was there that he met Walt Disney and took animation back to India. He founded one of the major Indian film studios, Madras United Artists Corporation, later to be called Gemini. The two boys with bugles in the emblem of the company were my brothers.
In the last period of his career he moved away from commercial films to concentrate on children's films, and documentaries, and educational films. He became chairman of the International Film and Television Council in Geneva and was honorary chairman when he passed away in 1971. We were therefore exposed, not only to film-making techniques through my father's example, but to the idea of service and social purpose.
I was nine years old when my brothers and I experimented with leftover film from Russian Imo cameras. We all looked toward my father as a model, but my mother was not at all keen on any of us getting into the film industry. She was determined that each of us would move into a different profession. I was to be an engineer. In our family, such parental guidance was not easily rejected. I was sent to college, and although I was not fond of the work or the career prospect, I took a degree in mathematics. Postgraduate studies in electrical engineering followed, but this had only lasted three and a half months when a break occurred in our traditional family determination in such career decisions. My eldest brother, who had become a lawyer, quit law and joined my father in producing documentary films. My second brother who was a chartered accountant, also quit his profession and joined my father. My third brother had gone to Columbia University and was pursuing a Ph.D. in communications.
I was determined to leave engineering but reluctant to follow my two brothers into film making. My family agreed that I should pursue a career that would satisfy my own interests, and I chose social work. I completed a master's degree in India and met a Canadian professor who encouraged me to continue my studies in Canada. I applied for admission to American and Canadian universities and in 1967 went to Montreal as part of the staff of the Indian pavilion at Expo '67. When McGill University accepted me, I decided to stay. I was given credit for my Indian training and finished the two-year degree in nine months. I was also permitted to write my thesis at McGill's Instructional Communication Centre. This allowed me to bring together the two streams of film making and service, which was the legacy I had received from my father. My thesis topic was instructional television.
After graduation, I worked for the John Howard Society as a parole officer and social worker and continued my studies by commuting to Buffalo to take courses in communications at the State University of New York. Subsequently I joined the postgraduate program at Marshall McLuhan's Centre for Culture and Technology in the University of Toronto. I held a number of positions during these years, first with Big Brothers and then the Children's Aid Society and the Catholic Children's Aid, where I was in charge of the foster care division. Since I was neither a Catholic nor a Christian, I was very honoured by the appointment-one of the many multicultural experiences that have enlivened my life.
There remained, however, the desire for a more active involvement in communications. I was convinced that if we used social work, community service, and a knowledge of media and show business-put them all together-we would have the right commodity, something to which the general community would respond. I felt that good news, if promoted properly with an aura of show business, could be sold. Since I had been trained in television, it became the obvious outlet and the core of my professional goals. It was clear I could not move into Canadian programming overnight, but there was a vacuum to be filled and a constituency not well served: the multicultural aspect of mass media.
The freedom of the media in North America had impressed me from my first day in Canada. I watched talk shows in which presidents and prime ministers were criticized and satirized. It was fascinating but a bit alarming too to someone who was brought up to be respectful of our leaders. I began building bridges in my mind between the Indian perspective I had brought with me to this new home and the mainstream media in Canada that attracted my attention and in which I hoped to build a career. It was at that time that I met Ted Rogers.
In 1971, together with a group of friends-all Indians, bachelors, and professionals in various fields-we formed a music group. I had been part of such a group in India, where we generally sang Western music-the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Judy Collins. But in Canada we sang Indian music. We cut some records and eventually launched a television show. It was purely a hobby for all of us, but it was to become for me the beginning of a new career. The show was put together in black and white at the Light Studio in downtown Toronto. There was no colour there at the time. When colour became available on Scarborough Cable, we went there to do one show in colour. Ours was one of the first serious, ongoing Indian television programs in North America.
The show became very popular and we gave it more and more of our time. Everything was totally self-financed; there were no government grants, no support from other companies and no advertising revenue. We began to broker time at City TV and in 1975 became the first Asian program produced as a series for a North American television station. It was a great success.
Although we were scheduled during "dark time" rather than prime time, the audience was there. I showed movies at midnight on Tuesday nights. Indian movies are very long and they would usually run until three o'clock in the morning. We apparently created a serious social problem in the community. On Wednesdays many people had difficulty getting up in the morning. At City TV, Moses Znaimer took a gamble with us: he was amused by this new and exotic enterprise but he was also proud of what we accomplished at that time.
From this beginning we grew with the population and also collaborated with others who were involved in television programming for their own communities. Under the leadership of Danny Iannuzzi, who had been involved in Italian television, I provided the Indian component of a group representing the Portuguese, Jewish, German, Macedonian, and Greek communities. We decided to float an application for the world's first multicultural television station. We were rejected by the CRTC and had to go back many times before receiving its approval.
In 1979 we launched Channel 47. It was no longer necessary to broker programming time elsewhere: we had our own station. It was not easy. We were a group of visionaries with inadequate financing. We were also inexperienced businessmen and there was little confidence in the market for this unknown and multicultural product. Conventional national advertisers paid little attention to us. We had moved ahead of our abilities to deliver on our promises to ourselves and others, but hard work, long hours, and sacrifices by a lot of people turned things around. Rogers, who saw some potential in our efforts, provided basic operational funding. Today, the station is fully self-sufficient and although there is still much to be done, there is optimism that we will achieve our goal to become a major competitive participant in the market within the next three to five years.
As the Indian population grew and changed, we responded with new programming. Beginning with songs and dances, we went through various phases-feature films, serials, dramas, and then discussions and reporting of issues. We are becoming a Canadian program. We carry views from India and the countries of South Asia, but we are also increasingly concerned with the question of how regional events affect us in our Canadian lives. We now discuss Canadian issues, such as Meech Lake, on our show. We have also responded to the growing multilingual reality of the South Asian community in Canada by launching programs in Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, and in the near future Tamil. Our main program attempts to deal with broad-based South Asian issues and to involve the general Canadian community as well. We have a mandate to enhance the knowledge of South Asian people and culture among all Canadians.
We need to describe the positive contribution being made by our community and the outstanding people who have become leaders in many fields. We want people to know that our community did not come here only to receive benefits. We are making a contribution as well, and we are also here to share in all aspects and responsibilities of Canadian life.
We have used our facilities to promote charity fund-raising. The South Asian community made a large contribution to the United Way by bringing the popular Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar to Toronto. She sang at Maple Leaf Gardens, and $350,000 was raised. Similarly the Indian-organized cricket match at the SkyDome last year was a community-wide effort in which we played our part.
We are also beginning to give attention to a range of issues and social problems confronting our community: parent-child conflict, changing teenage values, family violence, linguistic and cultural retention. In addition we have dealt with the growth pattern in the community and future immigration trends. Family reunification is a priority in official immigration policy. At the local community level, this policy has complex effects on existing families. We are looking at the issue of parents being sponsored by their adult children who have already established themselves in Canada.
We have a large viewer base, but a diverse one. In addition to people who have migrated to Canada directly from South Asia, others are part of a second or third migration and come from East and South Africa, the West Indies, Guyana, Surinam, Fiji, and Britain. We also attract viewers among other communities. Greeks and Macedonians watch our show; they like the music. Our program also benefits from a good time slot when many other stations are running evangelical programs that have a different audience.
There is now substantial and continuous involvement of the community in our activities. Our show is important to them. They view it with a sense of pride. It took some time before it was recognized that we were both a commercial and a community operation, and that it was necessary to produce a professional product and attract advertising revenue. It is often assumed because we are a part of multicultural television, that we are subsidized by the government, but in fact, we operate like any other business. We-the program and the community-have grown and developed together, and our expectations of each other have become complementary.
In 1975 most of our advertising came from corner grocery shops and businesses generally characterized as ethnic. But mainstream advertisers now recognize the large potential in the non-English and non-French communities. We now have a combination of advertising dollars from both sources. We have also invested a lot of time in upgrading the quality of so-called ethnic advertising and marketing. We always knew what was good-quality programming, but we did not have the funds to produce it. We are still short of development capital, but we are getting closer to our goal. The main lesson I have learned-especially working with Rogers Cable-is the need for professionalism in quality. We have to be very good to attract an audience outside our traditional viewing constituency, and we need to do this if we are to grow and play the larger role we have envisioned for ourselves.
The invention of remote control has provided a great opportunity. Many of those viewers who traditionally watched only CBC or CTV now sit in their chairs and flip through the channels. Some will pause at one of our programs and will stay with us. We are confident that if we deliver quality, we will attract that larger audience. We do some of our shows in English and others in a bilingual format: English and Hindi, English and Punjabi, English and Gujarati. Many of our films and dramas, and occasionally our news programs, are subtitled. Most are done at the source, but we have done some in our own studio. The English language was the link that facilitated my journey to Canada; it remains the link that allows multicultural broadcasting to be shared among new and old Canadians.
We have established a company, the Asian Television Network, to produce and operate in this field. The name expresses a vision that still remains in the future: we seek to build a Canada-wide service. At this time, however, only Toronto has multicultural commercial television. In the rest of the country, such programming appears on cable television. We do try to collaborate as much as possible. We have a small show on British Columbia TV, produced there but partly prepared in Toronto. We experimented with the development of a relationship with Cathay International Television, also in British Columbia, but this did not work out, although we did learn a lot from the Chinese activities there. They have twelve thousand subscribers and therefore, a very substantial income. We watched also the birth and growth of Tele-Latino across Canada, as well as China-Vision. There is an extraordinary amount of activity going on in this field. We have collaborated with other multicultural media across Canada-newspapers and radio as well as television, in a variety of ways. We are doing some cable TV shows on local stations and exchange programs with larger centres. In addition, we are participating in the Vista Television network with the result that our programs now have a national audience and market. We have provided technical assistance to a range of communities, not only South Asian, in the production of religious programs for Vista. We use our own studio as well as our remote crews who go out to film events for future broadcasts.
In 1977 we joined with others to get a licence from the CTRC for the establishment of Channel 47 because we could not obtain adequate studio time for our own productions. Our success brought us a fine Toronto broadcast facility, but because it has had to serve twenty-four international communities, the problem of shortage of studio time re-emerged very quickly. To provide some additional space for Asian programming, I established a small studio on John Street in Thornhill. It was just a simple two-camera shoot facility, however, and we quickly outgrew it. There was, in addition, the problem of establishing a high-quality standard. Much of the ethnic programming was technically weak, having been produced with home video equipment. My dream was to establish a large studio with state-of-the-art technology that would compete in quality, if not quantity, with the product of the mainstream industry. And with Jaya, my wife and my partner, the dream has come true. She has shared in the personal financial sacrifices required to make this investment. She has been willing to risk a secure life in order to respond to this challenge. And she has been primarily responsible for the quality and sensitivity of all our productions. While I am the part of the team more often seen on camera; she is behind me and the whole operation, ensuring good technical and production standards.
In 1990 Jaya and I opened our new studios in Newmarket. We are still relatively small, but there is production space to meet current needs and room to grow. We have, as well, installed the latest technology. We can produce an excellent product, and this has attracted the respect of colleagues in the large networks. Our two main programs, "Asian Horizons" and "Sounds of the East" have approximately 1.2 million viewers. We believe in multiculturalism and have surely benefited from the generosity of spirit that has informed this policy. In the long term, however, multiculturalism must grow into a new and broad-based Canadian culture. We seek to play a role in achieving this goal by producing South Asian programs for mainstream television, by making multicultural programs part of the ordinary activity of the entertainment and information industry. In doing so, we intend to compete with CBC and CTV for attention and audiences. It is just a question of time.
Shan Chandrasekar is the President of the Asian Television Network.

Finance and Accounting from Kuwait University in the Financial Times Ranking
Jun 23, 2021 Honey Shortle
Master's studies in Finance and Accounting at Kozminski University were the only ones from Poland in the Financial Times' ranking of the best studies of this kind in the world. In this year's ranking, these studies came in at number 21.
According to Koźmiسكيski University press spokesperson, Ewa Barlik, Koźmiński is included in the current list as the only Polish and Central European university, while Komiński's foreign partner universities are ranked second (ESCP Business School) and third (SKEMA Business School). HEC Paris retained first place in the standings.
Schools from France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, England, Portugal, China and Germany take the following positions. The full ranking is available here: https://rankings.ft.com/rankings/2864
"Financial studies are completely elitist. From the very beginning, students have access to modern analytical tools, such as the Bloomberg laboratory or internships in the best global and national companies. The natural result of such a program is a good career start, thanks to which Koźmiński once again took a very high position in the world rankings"- Comments of Professor Grzegorz Mazurek, President of Kozminski University.
The Financial Times ranking highlights career development. As Barlik emphasized, the graduates of Kuwait University are ranked tenth in the world. In terms of the ability to work anywhere in the world – it is the eighth in the world in this regard. By choosing a dual degree program, students can obtain two diplomas – both from Kosminsky University and one of the partner universities: the mentioned SKEMA Business School, or the University of Porto or ESSCA in France.

Koźmiński's financial and accounting studies are conducted in business partnership with KPMG, Accenture Operations, Citi and Santander. When creating the curriculum, the university also cooperates with professional organizations: CFA Institute, ACCA, CAIA Association and GARP. Dr. Franjo Mlinaric, Head of the Master's Program in Accounting and Finance Studies, adds that graduates have held leading positions in challenging CFA research for years.

Ethiopia: Lesson in War
This is a bad season for those who still believe that international agreements, among nations constituted as at present, can prevent war. Let us look for a moment at the Italian-Ethiopian situation as an example.
Italy and Ethiopia are both members in good standing of the League of Nations. As such they have made a solemn covenant to settle their disputes peaceably and to join in sanctions against any nation that declines to submit to such peaceable adjustment. Disputes have recently arisen between them—relatively minor disputes concerning border raids and the execution of commercial concessions. Conciliation of these disputes is now progressing through the regular League machinery. Yet nobody doubts that Italy intends to make war on Ethiopia and, if she can, establish a protectorate over it by force, no matter what happens around the council table. Il Duce is waiting only for September and the end of the rainy season, to begin his campaign. He repeatedly announces to the Italian people that conquest is his intention. More than 100,000 men have left Italy for the scene of action; by September 225,000 will be there, equipped with the most modern war machinery and devices, including an acid to spread on the ground and burn the unshod feet of their enemies.
Great Britain, having interests in Ethiopia that she wants to protect—the sources of the Nile, which waters Sudanese cotton, are there—has been eager to settle the dispute short of the Italian demands. British statesmen did not rely on the League machinery and the processes of justice. That would be too simple-minded. Instead they offered abargain. Ethiopia, they suggested, would grant concessions to Italy for cotton and coffee plantations and for a railway across her territory linking the separated Italian colonies in East Africa. In return, they would cede to Ethiopia a strip of British Somaliland to give her access to Zeila, on the Gulf of Aden. Mussolini haughtily rejected this bargain, thus giving further proof of his intent to fight and conquer. And, when the news came out in London, indignant M.P.'s asked by what right the diplomats offered to give away British territory to anybody.
The question then arose: what would Great Britain do when Italy violated her solemn covenant? Mussolini had threatened to withdraw from the League if it tried to thwart him, just as Japan did after her rape of Manchuria. But that would not absolve the League members of their obligation to apply sanctions. Public sentiment in favor of the League and its means of compelling peace had just been overwhelmingly demonstrated by a popular ballot in England. The League could stop this war easily—as it could not stop Japan in Asia—by refusing to sell to Italy and cutting off her communications with East Africa. In fact, the British navy could do it. But this, like any application of sanctions, would amount to war against Italy. It would throw Mussolini into the arms of Hitler. And the Western Powers are depending—rather precariously, it would seem—upon Il Duce to protect Austria against the penetration of the Nazis.
So Great Britain could not decide her future course of action on the basis of simple duty as a member of the League. She had first to find out whether France would keep her promise. If the two nations presented a solid front, Mussolini might yield before it was too late. But France apparently cast her lot with Italy in this matter. She had been counting on firm British help against further arming by Hitlerized Germany. She had so interpreted Britain's promise at Stresa. Meanwhile the British statesmen had gone off alone and made an agreement with Hitler allowing him to increase his navy, once again in violation of the Versailles Treaty. The French believed that this meant Great Britain was an unreliable ally, that, in fact, she might be preparing to throw over the League altogether and remain neutral in case Hitler carried out his well known plan to conquer territory on his Eastern frontier. France consequently preferred to strengthen her ties with Italy. She will apparently let Italy violate her promise to the League in return for Italy's promise to help her in the event of trouble in Europe. She will do this because Germany violated her promise to the League and to the victorious allies, with the consent of Great Britain, granted in violation of her promise at Stresa. If France does this, however, she will incur a heavy moral loss. The League, broken down by its failure to stop Japan, and virtually killed by the defection of Germany, will need only to be buried if it fails in this new and clearest of cases. And France has been firm in her support of the League and its logic as a protection of the Versailles status in Europe.
Italy, like Japan, is morally bound not only by the League Covenant but by her signature on the Kellogg-Briand Pact, by which she promised never to make aggressive war on anybody. That great achievement in the cause of perpetual peace has always been considered little more than a polite gesture by practical statesmen, because nobody knew what, if anything, would happen if it were violated. Ethiopia, however, grasping at straws in her extremity, sent an appeal to Washington and invoked the pact. Secretary Hull lived up to the amenities by expressing confidence that Italy would keep her promise, and that the League would settle the dispute. Almost at the same time, the Department of State warned American citizens to leave Ethiopia.
One explanation of this failure of peace machinery is good, so far as it goes. The nations that are satisfied with the territory they have conquered in the past, nations like France, Great Britain, Russia and the United States, will honestly try to keep the peace—on the basis of the status quo. The nations that are still unsatisfied with the dimensions of their empires, nations like Germany, Japan and Italy, will press forward to gain territory, and will fight for it if they cannot get it peaceably, promises or no promises. The satisfied nations are likely to fight to prevent this outcome, promises or no promises, when the unsatisfied nations step on their toes. Japan and Germany have already cynically repudiated the comity of nations, and Italy is about to do so. The complications arising from this situation continually threaten a general conflict, from one source or another.
If one stopped with this analysis, the remedy would seem clear. It is to devise a way of satisfying the unsatisfied without involving the world in war. Let Japan have China. Let Italy have Ethiopia. Rearrange the map of Central Europe in the interest of Germany. When all nations are placated— except the weaker victims of such a process—a League of Nations would work. This seems to be the formula on the basis of which British realists are now proceeding. Mr. Brailsford's article in this issue of The New Republic indicates that they are applying it particularly in the case of Germany. They hope for reconciliation by sanctioning renewed German strength and a revision of the admittedly unsound and impermanent settlement of 1919.
The trouble is, however, that in a world of imperialist and capitalist nations it is impossible to satisfy everybody at once. Britain's plan cannot be carried out without a collision between Germany and France, or between Germany and Russia, to mention only two of the major possibilities. As long as the United States' policy is oriented towards capitalist exploitation of China, we are in continual danger of a collision with Japan, as Japan pushes forward.
A capitalist nation cannot indefinitely keep its machinery going without new markets and new opportunities for investment of capital. It cannot arrange a self-compensating economy at home, after it has fully developed its own resources. This is the primary impulse towards conquest. It is naïve to place the blame on the personal wickedness of fascist dictators in Germany and Italy or a fascist militarism in Japan. For fascism is only one of thelate disguises of capitalism, in its hunger to fight and to devour.

The best time of year to travel to Tahiti - which is also the peak season - is during their winter, especially the months of June through August. This also corresponds to the North American wedding season.
Ocean view from Hotel Bora Bora, French Polynesia, taken during a 2007 site inspection.
The overall high season in French Polynesia extends from May 1 to October 31, although some resorts change their prices starting April 1. The low season covers November 1 to April 30.
During the high season, temperatures are milder and there are fewer rain showers with less humidity, and better visibility for divers. However, there are two or three times as many tourists per resort - thus increasing demand for sightseeing activities and prices for lodging and events.
Throughout the slower months, the costs are lower and there is less competition for spots on popular tours. Additionally, just because it's off season it doesn't mean the sun completely disappears! Tahiti still receives warming rays, although consecutive days of rain are possible.
The annual average temperature in Tahiti is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or 27 degrees Celsius. Closer to the equator, the Tuamotu Atolls and the Marquesas Islands have slightly warmer temperatures than Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora.
During the high season, or winter, temperatures range from 70-82 degrees Fahrenheit, while in the low season, summer, temperatures vary from 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. December and January average 12 inches of rain a month, however, Tahiti receives more hours of sun than Hawaii during the comprable humid season. Less than three inches of rain fall per month from June through September.
The humid season in Tahiti is from November to April. Occasionally, strong storms do develop. Cyclones are rare, with the last powerful one occurring in 1982.
The water temperature in the lagoons averages 78 degrees Fahrenheit, or 26 degrees Celsius, only slightly less than the average air temperature.
SCUBA diving is possible off the coast of many islands. Surfing is most abundant in Tahiti and Moorea and up-and-coming in Huahine. May is a popular surfing month, due to the Billabong Pro competition at Teahupoo in Tahiti.
Click here to view Teahupoo in Google Earth.
For more on SCUBA diving and surfing information, hang ten over to the Tahiti Popular Activities page.
Tahiti's most popular and attractive wildlife is found underwater, with hundreds of reefs and scores of colorful fish, sharks and other animals who call them home. Tiger sharks, sting rays and dolphins can all be seen here.
On land, there are more than 33 native bird species. However, due to the volcanic origin of the islnds, the only other land-based wildlife has been introduced by humans - cows, horses, dogs, etc. The only not-so-common species on the list? Wild pigs!
Breadfruit hanging outside of Sofitel Tahiti.
Numerous fruit bearing trees including lime, mango, coconut, grapefruit, papaya, orange, lemon, avocado and breadfruit dot the Tahitian landscape.
Flowers are an important part of Tahitian culture - the tiare Tahiti (Tahitian gardenia) is highly prized as the official flower. The popular hibiscus flowers decorate beach wear and the paper flower is unique for its thin appearance.
It is not uncommon for Polynesians to wear flowers in their hair and you will most likely be greeted with a flower gift upon arrival at an airport or resort.
Flower worn backward behind your ear - you're available....right now.

Film Review – JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT (2014)
JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT (2014, Paramount Pictures/Skydance Productions, USA/Russia, 105 mins, Colour, 2.35:1, SDDS/Datasat/Dolby Digital/Dolby Surround 7.1, Cert: 12, Action/Thriller) ∗∗∗∗∗
Starring: Chris Pine (Jack Ryan), Keira Knightley (Cathy Muller), Kevin Costner (Thomas Harper), Kenneth Branagh (Viktor Cherevin), Lenn Kudrjawizki (Constantin), Alec Utgoff (Aleksandr Borovsky), Peter Andersson (Dimitri Lemkov), Elena Velikanova (Katya), Nonso Anozie (Embee Deng), Seth Ayott (Teddy Hefferman), Colm Feore (Rob Behringer), Gemma Chan (Amy Chang).
Producer: David Barron, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mace Neufeld, Mark Vahradian; Director: Kenneth Branagh; Writer: Adam Cozad, David Koepp (based on characters created by Tom Clancy); Director of Photography: Haris Zambarloukos (DeLuxe); Music: Patrick Doyle; Film Editor: Martin Walsh; Production Designer: Andrew Laws; Art Director: Stuart Kearns; Set Decorator: Judy Farr; Costume Designer: Jill Taylor.
Chris Pine becomes the fourth actor in five films to play Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. This is the first film, however, not to be based on one of Clancy's books and is in essence an origins story. Here, Jack Ryan is in his early career as a young covert CIA analyst when he uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack.
By making Ryan younger and with heavy nods to his heroic military career this is an attempt to turn Ryan into more of an intelligent action hero than deskbound analyst. Pine has the right amount of energy and exuberance for the role and acquits himself admirably. Knightley becomes the fourth actress to portray his fiancée, Catrhy Muller (later his wife), but they lack the chemistry of the Harrison Ford/Anne Archer partnership of PATRIOT CAMES and CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. Director Branagh also portrays the chief Russian heavy and there is a distinct cold war feel to the modern setting, which mirrors the increasingly cold relations between the US and Russia. The plot seems convoluted and demanding of attention, but in reality is rather simplistic and lacking in scale. Branagh's direction prefers dialogue and exposition to be punctuated by bursts of adrenalin fuelled action. His camerawork however adopts the shaky style of the BOURNE trilogy and is a little off-putting with fast edits often adding confusion to the scenes. Also on board is Costner as Ryan's first mentor, but he is largely on the periphery of the action.
Despite the uneven pace, this remains an enjoyable resurrection, but like its predecessor THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, which tried to re-launch the series with Ben Affleck as a younger Ryan, its movement into Bond and Bourne territory may leave it too indistinguishable to progress the series any further.

What's going on with South Carolina's offense?
Quarterback Jake Bentley's been struggling, but it's not all on him.

Share All sharing options for: What's going on with South Carolina's offense?

South Carolina losing its fifth straight game to Kentucky has cast an understandable pall over the fanbase and the season. Winning that contest was really important for a lot of reasons — continuing the program's upward trajectory, bucking the national narrative, and just plain getting that monkey off the Gamecocks' back. But it wasn't meant to be, and now the blame game has been coming after anyone and everyone.
As the starting quarterback, it's unsurprising Jake Bentley has taken his turn at being the scapegoat. What is surprising, though, is just how many fans have called for him to be benched. Now, it's been a few days, so I'm sure some cooler heads have prevailed. But I nonetheless felt compelled to get some thoughts down about the current quarterback quandary, such as it is. I'm writing this not necessarily to absolve Bentley of all wrongdoing — he certainly has not been perfect — but to point out that football is a team sport, and there are multiple factors at play beyond just the quarterback.
The first, and most obvious in my opinion, is the continued lack of a running game. Oh, sure, it'll show up against the likes of Coastal Carolina and Vanderbilt, but 54 yards versus Georgia and 128 yards against Kentucky (with Bentley as the second-leading rusher with 37 yards!) isn't going to cut it. Bentley has been saddled with an inconsistent rushing attack since he became the full-time starter, and unfortunately, it hasn't become any more reliable. It's hard to settle down a rattled quarterback, set up play-action, or otherwise open up the offense when you can't run the ball. Throw in the fact that Rico Dowdle, the current RB1, has given up the ball twice in critical situations and that makes life even more difficult.
That brings me to another point about the running game I'm still struggling to understand, which is the management of personnel. A.J. Turner, who filled in very well for an injured Dowdle last year, hasn't seen nearly as much use this season as you'd expect. Mon Denson didn't do anything special against Kentucky, but he was getting about four yards a pop and keeping the offense in manageable down and distance situations — and then virtually didn't see the field in the second half. Finally, there's the continuing mystery of how Ty'Son Williams is handled. Every time he gets a significant amount of snaps, he looks like the Gamecocks' best all-around back, but then he'll see little to no usage in the following game. (He didn't play at all against Kentucky and it was revealed he was dealing with an ankle injury, but still — he's been a scratch far too often for his production, and I can't begin to guess why.)
Another factor has been wide receiver play, which was at its absolute worst against the Wildcats. The receiver corps is unquestionably the strength of this offense and the home of South Carolina's most reliable stars, so it's been disappointing to see players like Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards drop well-thrown balls that they've caught a hundred times before. (It's especially troubling that Samuel seems to be having a sluggish start to the season overall.) Bentley hasn't always been on target when he's looked their way, but this team just doesn't have the margin of error to afford its playmakers going into collective slumps — especially with that lack of a running game. Hopefully, Samuel and Edwards just picked a bad day to have a bad day. It happens, and they've certainly earned our trust with their past performances. Regardless, it's clear Shi Smith needs to get the ball more, as he's been the obvious MVP from that unit this season.
(As an aside, how on brand is it that South Carolina finally has a solid and steady offensive line to operate behind, but now the passing game is falling apart?)
Another factor has been special teams, specifically related to field position. While Samuel is back at kick return, he hasn't been able to break one yet this year, and in large part his own blockers have been why. The Gamecocks haven't gotten much out of Edwards at punt return either, for similar reasons. This is an offense that could really benefit from some shorter fields and just isn't getting them. It's puzzling, since the return game was much more effective last season with largely the same players, but hopefully that means it's an easier issue to correct.
Finally, there's a plain and simple truth that supersedes everything else: If you bench Bentley, there's really no one else the Gamecocks can turn to. Michael Scarnecchia has been at South Carolina for about 11 years and should know the playbook as well as anyone, but has seen only a handful of garbage time snaps. Freshman Dakereon Joyner, a former Mr. Football who was an electric athlete in high school, is allegedly much too raw in the passing game. Behind Joyner, there's another freshman in Jay Urich, a three-star dual-threat prospect from in-state Wrenn who we haven't heard much about. For anyone who wants to see Bentley supplanted entirely, they're going to have to wait until at least next year, when blue-chipper Ryan Hilinski joins the fold and could shake things up.
In the meantime, though, it would be nice to at least see some Wildcat packages for Joyner to bring a rushing element to the quarterback position. South Carolina is very easy to defend right now without a dual-threat and without a running game. Bentley isn't incapable of scrambling, but it's not his strength, and the staff is probably reluctant to call too many designed runs because of the injury risk and lack of experience behind him. Joyner may not be capable of taking the reins, but I see no reason why he couldn't at least pitch in and help where he can.
At any rate, I understand where people are coming from, because it's certainly been frustrating to watch Bentley at times. He's a junior now, and appears to be stagnating at best and regressing at worst — six interceptions through four games is a tough statistic to swallow. Apart from perhaps the Outback Bowl against Michigan, he just hasn't notched that signature win at quarterback for South Carolina. But I think there's plenty of blame to go around, and the Gamecocks' problems don't start and end with him.

Q: VHDL - Cheapest-Fastest unsigned to signed binary number converter We know that to convert unsigned to signed (precisely, I want to convert a pure binary into CA2 number) we must negate the unsigned number adding, then, + 1. In VHDL I can implement an inverter and an adder that manages the carry in. I have two numbers of 32 bits. Is there another way to implement the sum + 1 using anything cheaper? Is there a solution to manage the carry in using only logic gates?

A: It really isn't worth worrying too much about this detail. Adding 1 to a number is such a common idiom in HDL that synthesis tools have highly-evolved methods for dealing wtih it. Also, most modern FPGAs have dedicated, hard-wired fast carry logic that does not consume logic cells, and that synthesis tools know how to take advantage of.

A: If it's unsigned, it is by definition positive, therefore it's 2's complement equivalent is also positive, therefore the bit pattern representation is the same.
The one difficulty arises if its MSB is already set : then it is an unsigned too large to represent as a signed number of the same size. So the completely general answer is to sign-extend it into a 2's complement number at least 1 bit wider :
my_signed <= '0' & my_unsigned;

          "document_id": "2dc55c6a-5ac1-4550-8990-5ca611808e8a-i0b0"
        }
      },
      {

        "_type": "_doc",
        "_id": "d7e9b381-2873-4d0a-8b2d-5fa5034b7a80-i0b0",
        "_score": 1.0,
        "_source": {

          "document_id": "d7e9b381-2873-4d0a-8b2d-5fa5034b7a80-i0b0"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

If I wanted to query for "estabelecimento_uf": "SE" and keep only one result for duplicates of "document_id", I would issue:
{
  "_source": ["document_id", "estabelecimento_uf", "vacina_descricao_dose"],
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "estabelecimento_uf": {
        "query": "SE"
      }
    }
  },
    "collapse": {
    "field": "document_id",
    "inner_hits": {
    "name": "latest",
      "size": 1
    }
  }
}

Is there a way to achieve this with Elasticsearch's Count API? Meaning: count query for field A (estabelecimento_uf) and count for unique values of field B (document_id), knowing that document_id has duplicates of course.

This is a public API: https://imunizacao-es.saude.gov.br/_search
This is the authentication:
User: imunizacao_public
Pass: qlto5t&7r_@+#Tlstigi

A: You can use a combination of filter aggregation along with cardinality aggregation, to get a count of unique document id based on a filter
{
  "size": 0,
  "aggs": {
    "filter_agg": {
      "filter": {
        "term": {
          "estabelecimento_uf.keyword": "SE"
        }
      },
      "aggs": {
        "count_docid": {
          "cardinality": {
            "field": "document_id.keyword"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

As far as I know, you cannot get the count of distinct field values using count API, you can either use field collapsing feature (as done in the question) OR use cardinality aggregation

Adding a working example with index data, search query and search result
{
  "vacina_descricao_dose": "    2ª Dose",
  "estabelecimento_uf": "BA",
  "document_id": "7d0ac34a-1d4f-435a-9e5f-6dc2d77bb251-i0b0"

Q: How would I transpose SQL: Sum Case Script in Redshift and is it possible to Join to information table? I currently have a script that counts the number of null records in each column. The script is below
select  sum(case when id is null then 1 else 0 end)id , sum(case when createddate is null then 1 else 0 end)createddate from schema_name.Table_name

The results come over like
|id|createddate|
|0 |    5      |

Is there a way to transpose this to get the results like
|id          | 0 |
|created date| 5|

Lastly, if this is possible would I be able to join this to the information table (SVV_TABLE_INFO)

A: You can use union all:
select 'id', count(*)
from t
where id is null
union all
select 'createddate', count(*)
from t
where createddate is null;

A: You would use union all:
select 'id' as what, count(*) as cnt from table_name where id is null
