One thing that is more goosebump-inducing than cosy, she said, are the ghost stories that seem to be as much a part of old, historic houses like this one as its old-fashioned furniture. In the family's first summer opening the inn, one guest from England told them that he liked to stay at the Homeport because of the ghosts.
Perhaps the most deliciously chilling of those features her dog, Cooper, who was her companion at the inn for several months in 2011 while the family was getting ready to open for business. McLellan was living in an apartment on the top floor at the time while her husband stayed home in New Hampshire.
At first, McLellan figured her dog woke up because of nocturnal rodent activity. But as the 2 a.m. incidents continued, she began to wonder.
The early morning barking attacks only went away entirely after the family renovated the top floor, she said, adding that ghosts, of course, have nothing to do with the family's decision to sell the inn.
Thank you for finding that and posting it.

Jimmy Westlake: Baseball tonight at Pegasus Park
Jimmy Westlake
Watch the big game out in Pegasus Park
Pegasus_Park_090707
Hello sports fans. Did you know that there's a baseball game tonight up in the stars? It's true.
The first pitch is at 9 p.m. just as darkness falls. You can catch all of the action by facing the eastern sky and looking for the star pattern called the Great Square of Pegasus, which tonight will be transformed from a square into a diamond — a baseball diamond.
It's the Milky Way Red Giants vs. the Andromeda White Dwarfs at Pegasus Park in the last game of the Universal Series. The series is tied at three games each. Tonight's game will determine the baseball champions of the Universe.
The ballpark is full of baseball fans tonight, forming the hazy band of the Milky Way arching high overhead. Just listen to that crowd roar.
Home plate tonight is marked by the uppermost star in the diamond — the bright star Scheat (She'-at). Careful how you say that, baseball fans.
Down to the lower left of home plate is first base, covered tonight by that great baseball all-star Alpheratz (Al-fee'-ratz). On second base is the four-time golden glove winner Algenib (Al-gee'-nib), and, moving on to third base, it's Markab, a shoe-in for rookie of the year.
With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, the score is still tied zero to zero. Sadal Bari, the league's homerun king, is up to bat for the Red Giants and has run the count full. It's up to him to keep the game from going into extra innings.
Sadal Bari has just fouled off four straight pitches and the big game has suddenly come to a standstill. The White Dwarfs' catcher, Tau Pegasi, has joined his brother and ace pitcher Upsilon Pegasi for a conference on the mound in the middle of the diamond.
Could this be the end of the night for Upsilon? Not likely, since he has a perfect game on the line. If he can retire Sadal Bari, Upsilon will have his second no-hitter of the series.
Meanwhile, the batter, Sadal Bari, has walked down the third base line and is talking the situation over with his third base coach, Lambda. No doubt, Lambda will have some good advice for Sadal Bari. Will he give him the green light again?
Uh-oh. The umpire behind the plate, Matar, is getting very impatient with this delay of the game and is about to make his way out to the mound to break up the conference. Play is about to resume in Pegasus Park and everyone is standing and cheering.
Will Sadal Bari knock it out of the park? Will Upsilon pitch his second perfect game of the series?
Oops, we're all out of time, so you'll have to catch the end of this game for yourself, tonight, under the stars.

Diamond Group accelerates Digital Transformation with Veeam
Diamond Group improved recovery point objectives (RPOs) by 98% and added unmatched efficiency to operational and cost reductions, increasing customer satisfaction by 90%
Jakarta, Indonesia, August 26, 2021: Veeam® Software, the leader in the backup, recovery and data management solutions that deliver Modern Data Protection, today announced that Diamond Group, one of the leading, fast-moving consumer goods companies in Indonesia, chose Veeam Backup & Replication™ to modernize their data protection and eliminate downtime. Veeam, together with HPE, helps Diamond Group streamline business processes, safeguard critical data, ensure 24/7 availability and accelerate business processes with minimal disruptions.
Diamond Group previously suffered from corrupted data due to the lack of a capable backup solution. It caused the business to halt operations, incurring significant losses in terms of transactions. As a leading FMCG, the company processes upwards of 30,000 orders, 40,000 invoices and shipments to all 34 provinces in Indonesia daily, meaning an hour of downtime would have tremendous implications on business operations, which would lead to considerable losses.
Choosing Veeam Backup & Replication was a strategic decision made in line with Diamond Group's vision of becoming a world-class digital company within the consumer goods industry. The deployment started in 2020 and has since enabled Diamond Group to strengthen its system and infrastructure landscape to address future needs. Instant VM Recovery® helps Diamond Group improve recovery time objectives (RTOs) and minimize disruption and downtime across different business environments. IT teams can now back up at the file level in virtualized environments and improve their recovery point objectives (RPOs) by 98%, increasing operational efficiency and reducing cost. In addition, Instant VM Recovery ensures intelligent and automated backup and recovery, with the added ease of monitoring from a single console. As a result, downtime is shortened, increasing productivity rates and prevents the business from accruing tangible and intangible losses, ultimately increasing customer satisfaction by 90%.
"As part of the company's commitment, we built our infrastructure for the long-term. The technology providers we entrust as partners should be companies with a proven track record," said Norman Chen, President Director of PT Diamond Food, Indonesia. "The reliability of Veeam Backup & Replication to support our core IT infrastructure has been very satisfying for us. Its reliability has proven to ensure business continuity of our always-on, 24/7 business operations and contributes to our revenue growth consistently, despite the current global situation."
"We were using HPE Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) and HPE SimpliVity to help us streamline and scale efficiently. At the same time, we also needed a more robust solution for backup and replication to ensure our environment was available 24/7, which is critical in accelerating business processes as a whole," said Joanito Iwan, CTO at Diamond Group. "The most fundamental reason why we rely on Veaam is due to its technological reliability and ability to work with HPE's HCI technology, which has helped us achieve an SLA of no more than 18 hours of downtime per year. Veeam's solution also ensures data accuracy and reliability, which is critical for maintaining high business efficiency and productivity."
In 2019, in preparation for its IPO, Diamond Group embarked on the strategic journey of Digital Transformation, which now plays an integral part in its business resilience and continuity. This commitment was also part of their journey to become a world-class digital company in the consumer goods industry. Due to its new smart IT infrastructure, the company has recently seen double-digit growth and increased customer satisfaction by 90%.
"At Veeam, we are well-positioned to lead intelligent transformation and are therefore committed to empowering our customers with our Modern Data Protection and data management solutions. We are excited to work with Diamond Group as their trusted partner in their Digital Transformation journey, especially during this pivotal time as it shifts into a publicly traded company," said Habisanti, Country Manager Veeam Indonesia.

Well, you already set up your Amazon associates website to promote products, done your homework on SEO, categories and niches, UX/UI and promotion – what else can you do to beef up Amazon sales through your websites?
You might as well make use of the most effective marketing tool out there – ratings and reviews. Amazon has Millions of products – and almost each and every one of them is reviews by consumers who bought the products. Amazon had consumer ratings and reviews since 1995 (!) and for a reason… reviews are the driving force behind e-commerce.
Why incorporate online reviews on your website?
2. The importance of consumer reviews to customer purchase decisions is increasing every year. Reviews have become a critical milestone in the customer's journey; A Pew center research shows that half of adults under 50 routinely check online reviews before buying new items which means they will want to see reviews before they click on an Amazon ad in your website.
3. Having the next step in the customer journey on premises in your site generates a more qualitative lead – because they've made their decision on your website. This boost both the conversion rate and your rating with Amazon itself!
4. Since ratings and reviews are constantly updated, this means renewed content on your website, which means more contribution to your SEO.
5. Last but not least – peer reviews are information your readers are interested in and trust. This means more time on page (more for your SEO!) and more trust in your content. Your not just shoving and ad in their faces – your giving them relevant information which they want.
So now, how do you enrich your content with online reviews?
1. Show the real thing – make sure you display ratings and reviews from trusted sources – brands matter to consumers when it comes to relying on customer reviews. If you're an Amazon affiliate, for example – the best is to show Amazon's ratings and reviews – it's by far the most powerful product reviews brand for many reasons one of them being that Amazon take their review platform seriously. You can hook up Amazon reviews to your website with Txtrider.
2. Show it as it is – never manipulate or mess reviews or ratings! Why? Because the consumer can easily call your bluff if they research just a little bit further. Reviews are all about credibility – yours as well as the third party.
3. Show it all – And here's another point to consider – a full 5-star rating is not always a win. A perfect 5, even more so when based on a few has a fishy smell to it which your readers will notice. Consumers appreciate and believe a product or business who has their faults (to a degree, of course). Showing all colors of ratings and reviews on your content transcends reliability and transparency.
4. Show what's relevant – to make your readers get a positive experience on your content, which will turn out even more productive – for them and for you, make sure you attach ratings and reviews for products you discuss in your blog (website or content). Relevance is a must.
5. Show it with style – not too close, not too many. You know your readers and where exactly is the limit between useful information to harassment. So keep a safe space of at least 10 words between each mention and limit the total number of links to a reasonable amount, relative to the text quantity.

Mir Ali Schir Navaji eller  Nizām al-Din ʿAlī Shīr Herāvi (persiska: نظام الدین على شير هراوی), Alisjer Navoi (uzbekiska: Alisher Navoiy) eller Mīr ʿAlī Shīr Navā'ī (med flera varierande stavningar), av pseudonymen Navā'ī (نوائى, med betydelsen "den gråtande" på persiska), var en centralasiatisk poet, målare, politiker, mystiker och byggherre av uiguriskt ursprung, verksam vid det timuridiska hovet i Herat. Han föddes i Herat den 9 februari 1441 och dog där den 3 januari 1501. Han var en viktig framhävare av den turkiska tjagataiskan såsom litteraturspråk, till skillnad från den tidigare förhärskande persiskan, och räknas ofta som en av det från tjagataiskan härstammande uzbekiska språkets samt den uzbekiska kulturens viktigaste förebilder.

Carson McCullers' Bookshelf
Carson McCullers' undiagnosed childhood bout with rheumatic fever plagued her throughout her life and often sent her to bed for long periods of convalescence. Unable to pursue her mother's dreams of her becoming a concert pianist, Carson found a new profession waiting in the pages of Tolstoy, E.M. Forster, Dostoevsky and Proust just to name a few.
In her unfinished autobiography Illumination and Night Glare, which was dictated to a host of faithful "secretaries" as she was recovering from a stroke, McCullers jokes, "I read everything; books on house decorations; catalogues on flowers; cookbooks which I especially enjoy, and like the [New York Times,] everything that's fit to print."
What are McCullers's favorite books from a lifetime of reading?
"Tolstoy is considered by almost everyone as the greatest novelist that ever lived, and I can only say, me too. From his first beautiful book on [war] and [Sebastopol,] all through his long and marvelously productive life he stands alone as a writer."
"It is interesting to me to think of the seeds of his stories, 'his illuminations.' Anna Karenina was evolved because he had heard of a woman who had jumped in front of a moving train and died. The grandeur of [War and Peace], a historical novel, which must have brought Tolstoy almost daily illuminations. He was fastidious as Proust in his realism of the styles and fashions of the times, and like Proust he was working on an immense canvas." — Carson McCullers
By Fyodor Dostoevsky
"The next and possible one of the strongest influences in my reading life is [Dostoevsky]—Tolstoy, of course, is at the top. ... One is just swept away from one incredible scene to another incredible scene. The scene when [Nastasya] lights a fire to burn up the bank notes in front of [Ganya] is almost like a [True Story] fiction, but in spite of it, the emotions of the scene make it so real." — Carson McCullers
By Isadora Duncan
"When I was fourteen years old, the great love of my life, which influenced the whole family, was Isadora Duncan. I read [My Life,] not only read it but preached it. My daddy, who believed with my mother, that a child should read without censorship, could not help but be amazed by my preaching of 'free love' to the family at large, and anyone else who would listen. One nosy neighbor criticized my parents for letting me speak so precociously about [Isadora] Duncan and her love life." — Carson McCullers
By James Joyce
"This week I've been reading [Dubliners.] How such a spasm of poetry could have come out of the grimy Dublin streets of that time is miraculous to me. [A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,] I also read every year or so. ... Whenever I think of artists having a hard time I think of James Joyce. He had one hell of a time to earn a living for himself and his family. [Dubliners] was suppressed, and at one time burnt, I believe [Ulysses] was suppressed and pirated all over the world, and of course James Joyce did not receive any of the pirated money. He earned only the fame and the grandeur of a noble spirit." — Carson McCullers
Tender Is the Night
By F. Scott Fitzgerald
"...Another lesser writer who is also dear to me. Scott Fitzgerald, always in debt to his agent; with a wife that was mad and confined to institutions. Scott, extravagant, [lovable,] playful and impossible. His genius flourished, and he wrote [Tender is the Night,] in the most appalling psychological situation." — Carson McCullers
Beast in the Jungle
"It's a bleak white January day, and I've been drinking cup after cup of hot tea and reading Henry James. I'd never realized how really good he is. One is quite willing to stumble through pages of ambiguities for those sudden, exquisite lines, those almost unexpected revelations. I'd never realized how deeply he has influenced the present poets—Eliot, Auden, etc. I want us to read the Beast in the Jungle together." — Carson McCullers
By Isak Dinesen
"[Edwin Peacock and John Ziegler] insisted that I read a book called [Out of Africa,] and since I thought it was about big game hunting, I insisted just as firmly I didn't want to read it. In the end they got their way, for when Reeves and I were in the car on our way to Fayetteville, they slipped two books in my lap; they were [Out of Africa] and [Seven Gothic Tales.] I started [Out of Africa] in the car and read until sundown. Never had I felt such enchantment. After years of reading this book, and I have read it many times, I still have a sense of both solace and freedom whenever I start it again. I have naturally read all of her books, but these particular two are my favorites." — Carson McCullers
By Richard Wright
"Another writer who was particularly dear to me is Richard Wright. ... Dick and I often discussed the South, and his book, [Black Boy,] is one of the finest books by a Southern [Negro.]" — Carson McCullers

"After the postman comes this afternoon I'll read Proust. Today I was thinking of the immense debt I owe to Proust. It's not a matter of his "influencing my style" or anything like that—it's the rare good fortune of having always something to turn to, and great book that never tarnishes, never become[s] dull from familiarity." — Carson McCullers

Supporters say that Janahan Sivanathan, a Sri Lankan Tamil who lives in Stainforth, Doncaster, was horrendously tortured�as a school student�during the war in Sri Lanka, after he was rounded up and held captive for ten days in 2009.
They are staging a solidarity protest today at the Home Office in Sheffield in support of 22 year old Janahan Sivanathan.
Supporters say Mr Sivanathan, a Sri Lankan Tamil who lives in Stainforth, was "horrendously tortured" as a school pupil during the war in Sri Lanka, after he was rounded up and held captive in 2009.
Janahan was detained last time he reported at the Home Office. Supporters say he could be again tomorrow despite his case being due to be heard in court on July 15.
The protest is to demand Mr Sivanathan is not detained and is allowed to stay in the country.
Protest organiser Alistair Tice said he was is at particular risk because of political activities with the Tamil Solidarity group. He participated in London protests against David Cameron's visit to Sri Lanka ahead of a Commonwealth meeting in 2013, and President Sirisena's visit to London in 2015.


I mentioned my intention to review the Lead Person Network (LPN) at the recent Computing Conference. The LPN was established in 2014, with the intention of having a point of contact in each of the new, merged colleges. The idea was to have a single point of contact, through which we could communicate with colleges and get feedback on qualifications and support materials. The Lead Person in each college was meant to cascade information to colleagues and act as a conduit between SQA and Computing staff in their college.
It's had mixed success. It seems to work well in some colleges but not so well in others. In casual conversations with college staff, I've discovered that some lecturers don't know about the LPN and have no idea who their Lead Person is. So, it's time for a reboot. Caitlin is going to lead the review of the LPN, starting with a review of membership. Me and my team will also do our part to refresh the network — we were inconsistent in our use of it (sometimes using it and sometimes not). Caitlin will check that we have got someone from every college, check that it's the right person and that that person wants to continue in the role, and clarify the role of the Lead Person. For our part, we will use the LPN more often and use it more consistently in future. We're also considering ways of providing some concrete benefit to serving as the Lead Person.
The LPN doesn"t replace any of the existing channels of communication so we will continue to use blog, Twitter, e-groups and e-mail as normal. But the LPN potentially provides a way of getting quick feedback about things and, I think, it's worth giving it another try. Please contact Caitlin if you want to know more about the Lead Person Network.

Q: How to detect php server timeout on ajax request? I want to know that suppose you did an ajax request to a page that runs PHP code. The page outputs some data (using flush() method or otherwise) but because of a 30second timeout or some other error, the php request ends.
Now when the request ends, I want to find out about it  on client side and restart the request.
i.e suppose I have something like this
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
    if(xmlhttp.readyState==3 && xmlhttp.status==200){
    document.getElementById("A").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
    else if(xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
    document.getElementById("A").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    //plus some additional code to end the process
    }
    else if(xmlhttp.status== SOMETHING /*WHAT DO I ADD HERE TO KNOW THAT THE SERVER HAS TIMED OUT OR SOMETHING SO I CAN RESTART THE XMLHTTP CYCLE */){
    //code to resend xmlhttp request.
    }

}

A: One strategy I used was to set a timer in JS, and then clear it if the call was successful.
var myTimer = setTimeout(stuffToDoOnFailure, 6000); // 6 secs

ajaxCall(function callBack() {
    clearTimeout(myTimer);
});

EDIT:
Of course, if the ajax call succeeds after 6 secs, you might end up with both stuffToDoOnFailure and callBack being executed, so you want to handle that case somehow. That depends on your app, though.

Q: How to update PostgreSQL database while using .NET 5? I start to learn .NET 5 to create full-stack applications. I create a model with the following code:
public class Contact
{
    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "First Name")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Last Name")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string Address1 { get; set; }

    public string Address2 { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.PostalCode)]
    public int Zip { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
    public string Emanil { get; set; }

    [DataType(DataType.PhoneNumber)]
    public string Phone { get; set; }

    // Seting up Date & Time
    public DateTime Created { get; set; }

    // Seting up using of image
    [NotMapped]
    [Display(Name = "Image")]
    [DataType(DataType.Upload)]
    public IFormFile ImageFile { get; set; }

    public byte[] ImageData { get; set; }
    public string ImageType { get; set; }

    // Thinking about primary key that the database will manage
    public int Id { get; set; }

    // Let's think about a derive property (a combination of firstname & lastname)
    [NotMapped]
    public string FullName { get { return $"{FirstName} {LastName}"; } }
}

Unfortunately, after creating the app I saw a typo mistake in Email => Emanil.
Now after correcting the typo I try: Add-Migration EmailUpdate but it fails, I do try Update-Database as well still fail, I make corrections on each line were I have Emanil to Email:
public async Task<IActionResult> Create([Bind("FirstName,LastName,Address1,Address2,City,State,Zip,Emanil,Phone,Created,ImageData,ImageType,ImageFile,Id")] Contact contact)

Just want to know the best way to update it (I use Visual Studio for the project).


An ideal complement to many majors, the Art History minor builds the techniques of visual intelligence necessary to successfully navigate an increasingly image-driven world. Students learn to interpret visual evidence as well as written documents to understand and interrogate how evolving ideas about quality and judgement have shaped the institutions of art, including the growing art market. A diverse and strong faculty brings its own research into the classroom, allowing students to gain international exposure and real world experience with world-class museums and cultural centers in Boston, Cambridge, and the greater metropolitan area. Art History minors often have opportunities to conduct independent research, develop publishable texts and gain exposure to the dynamic fields of visual art and curatorial practice.

Q: Chained Payment like functional for credit card checkout I know about PayPal Chained Payments. They involve a primary (the goods seller) and secondary (the store) receipt and the primary one have full control over refunds and so on.
I want to have a way to process credit cards, without the buyer to have an PayPal account. I wonder if there is some mechanism to have a primary and secondary receipt in this case. How to handle fee receiving in this case?

A: I was stuck with the same sort of issue.
My research concluded that this cannot be done, with the current adaptive payments APIs.
So there are two solutions
1) Wait till the rest api team adds spilt payments to the rest APIs. You can follow development of this feature @ https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-iOS-SDK/issues/9
2) Pay into one account (A nominee account look it up) and use mass payments to pay out to other accounts

When the body of a young woman is found dead beneath the cliffs of the deserted Icelandic village of Kalfshamarvik, Ari Thor Arason uncovers a startling and terrifying connection to an earlier series of deaths, as the killer remains on the loose...
'Jonasson's books have breathed new life into Nordic noir' Sunday Express
'Jonasson skillfully alternates points of view and shifts of time ... The action builds to a shattering climax' Publishers Weekly
Two days before Christmas, a young woman is found dead beneath the cliffs of the deserted village of Kalfshamarvik.
Did she jump, or did something more sinister take place beneath the lighthouse and the abandoned old house on the remote rocky outcrop?
With winter closing in and the snow falling relentlessly, Ari Thor Arason discovers that the victim's mother and young sister also lost their lives in this same spot, twenty-five years earlier.
As the dark history and its secrets of the village are unveiled, and the death toll begins to rise, the Siglufjordur detectives must race against the clock to find the killer, before another tragedy takes place.
Dark, chilling and complex, Whiteout is a haunting, atmospheric and stunningly plotted thriller from one of Iceland's bestselling crime writers.
'Traditional and beautifully finessed ...morally more equivocal than most traditional whodunnits, and it offers alluring glimpses of darker, and infinitely more threatening horizons' Andrew Taylor, Independent

Q: How to set that a string field is not equal to empty string MongoDB aggregation pipeline how do I set that a certain field can not be an empty string.
When I set friendsArray.lastMessage string field to be empty, it gives me results that I want i.e:
matches = db.user_relations.aggregate(
        [
            {"$match": {"userId": id}},
            {"$unwind": {"path": "$friendsArray"}},
            {"$sort": {"friendsArray.lastTimestamp": -1}},
            {"$match": {"friendsArray.lastMessage": ""}},
            {"$limit": 6},
            {"$replaceRoot": {"newRoot": "$friendsArray"}},
            {
                "$lookup": {
                    "from": "users",
                    "localField": "userId",
                    "foreignField": "_id",
                    "as": "joined__"
                }
            },
            {"$unwind": {"path": "$joined__"}},
            {"$replaceRoot": {"newRoot": {"$mergeObjects": ["$joined__","$$ROOT"]}}},
            {"$project": {"joined__": 0}},
            {"$match": {"$expr": {"$eq": ["$isProfileBlocked", False]}}},
            {
                '$addFields': {'userId': {'$toString': '$userId'}}
            },
            {"$unset": valuesToUnset}
        ]
    )

But when I change this: {"$match": {"friendsArray.lastMessage": ""}},
to this: {"$match": {"friendsArray.lastMessage": {"$not" : [{"$eq": ""}]}}}
it gives me some strange results? It mixes data and I really don't know what its doing?
I have tried putting $ne and $nin arguments and searched the whole internet, but I can not find a satisfying answer?
Does anybody know what am I doing wrong?

A: You are not using a correct sintax on the $eq operator. Check the docs.
Note that the $eq in find is diferrent that the $eq in aggregations.
The correct way to do it is how you use it on this line:
{"$match": {"$expr": {"$eq": ["$isProfileBlocked", False]}}},

I also made an example of what you need here.

With Karthi and Sivakarthikeyan going up against each other this week, Kollywood's trade circle is hoping to revive its business
Kollywood's last big box-office battle for 2019 is here. Sivakarthikeyan's Hero is clashing with Karthi's Thambi this Friday for the Christmas weekend. Unlike the previous years, 2019 introduced a new trend in the industry, where two big movies get simultaneous release on a festival day. It happened for the first time when Rajinikanth's Petta clashed with Ajith Kumar's Viswasam on Pongal. Later, when Vijay's Bigil released alongside Karthi's Kaithi.
The Hero vs Thambi clash comes at a time when the Tamil Nadu market is at an all-time low post the Deepavali releases. Ruban Mathivanan of GK Cinemas, Porur, says, "After the phenomenal run of both Bigil and Kaithi, not a single Tamil film managed to rake in money — some of which couldn't even survive the opening weekend. We are hoping that Hero and Thambi revive the market, even though Christmas season is not as big as Pongal or Deepavali." Now, will the films turn out to be profitable ventures? The trade feels that both movies may work since Sivakarthikeyan's Namma Veetu Pillai and Karthi's Kaithi were super hits. A leading exhibitor and distributor says, "When two big movies clash on the same day, it stirs curiosity among audiences and creates an initial push."

Going by the trailer for Hero, it looks like Sivakarthikeyan is playing a superhero who takes on the education system in Tamil Nadu. The PS Mithran-directed film has Abhay Deol playing a businessman, the antagonist, while Kalyani Priyadarshan plays a motivational speaker. Kotapadi J Rajesh of KJR Studios, who has bankrolled Hero, says: "The film also has Tamil sentiments and I'm confident about it since Sivakarthikeyan has a huge fan base among children and women. The movie has a 'U' certificate and is a fun entertainer."
Thambi, on the other hand, is said to be a family thriller with a twist in the end. Karthi plays Jyothika's sibling and a conman. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, it is targeted at family audiences. One of the interesting aspects of the movie is, it has been produced by Jyothika's thambi Suraj Sadanah. Sources say that Suraj has already made table profits from distribution rights.
One question that is prevailing in the trade circle is whether Hero and Thambi have the potential to bring in the audience. Previously, superhero movies have received lukewarm response, but the makers of Hero are confident about the product. Likewise, Jeethu Joseph's films post Drishyam have not worked big time. His Bollywood début, The Body, which released last week, has tanked at the box office. Since Karthi is someone who typically takes the less travelled path, his choices seem to have some acceptance.
The trade, meanwhile, is hoping that these two movies mint money at the box office and retain the shows till Darbar, which arrives on Pongal. That said, both Hero and Thambi will face stiff competition from Salman Khan's Dabangg 3, a Tamil dubbed version of which is releasing here. Who will get the lion's share will depend on quality.

The Congregation of the Mission (Latin: Congregatio Missionis) is a Roman Catholic society of apostolic life founded by Vincent de Paul. It is associated with the Vincentian Family, a loose federation of organizations which claims Vincent de Paul as their founder or Patron. They are popularly known as Vincentians, Paules, Lazarites, Lazarists, or Lazarians.

Main article: Vincent de Paul
The Congregation has its origin in the successful mission to the common people conducted by Vincent de Paul and five other priests on the estates of the Gondi family. More immediately it dates from 1624, when the little community acquired a permanent settlement in the Collège des Bons Enfants in Paris, which later became a seminary under the name of St. Firmin. The first missions of the Lazarists were in the suburbs of Paris and in Picardy and Champagne.[3] Archiepiscopal recognition was obtained in 1626. By a papal bull on January 12, 1633, the society was constituted a congregation, with Vincent de Paul as its head. About the same time the canons regular of St. Victor handed over to the congregation the priory of St. Lazarus (formerly a lazar-house) in Paris, hence the name of Lazarites or Lazarists.[4]
Within a few years they had acquired another house in Paris and set up other establishments throughout France; missions were also sent to Italy (1638), Tunis (1643), Algiers and Ireland (1646), Madagascar (1648), Poland (1651), and Turkey (1783). A bull of Alexander VII in April 1655 further confirmed the society; this was followed by a brief in September of the same year, regulating its constitution. The rules then adopted, which were framed on the model of those of the Jesuits, were published at Paris in 1668 under the title Regulae seu constitutiones communes congregationis missionis. The special objects contemplated were the religious instruction of the poor, the training of the clergy, and foreign missions.[4]
On the eve of the French Revolution, St. Lazare was plundered by the mob and the congregation later suppressed; it was restored by Napoleon in 1804 at the desire of Pius VII, abolished by him in 1809 in consequence of a quarrel with the pope, and again restored in 1816. The Lazarists were expelled from Italy in 1871 and from Germany in 1873.[4]
The Lazarite province of Poland was singularly prosperous; at the date of its suppression in 1796 it possessed thirty-five establishments. The religious institute was permitted to return in 1816, where it is very active. In Madagascar it had a mission from 1648 until 1674. In 1783 Lazarists were appointed to take the place of the Jesuits in the Levantine and Chinese missions; and in 1874 their establishments throughout the Ottoman Empire numbered sixteen. In addition, they established branches in Persia, Abyssinia, Mexico, the South American republics, Portugal, Spain, and Russia, some of which have been suppressed. In the same year they had fourteen establishments in the United States of America.[4]
Present dayEdit
As of 2021, the Vincentians number about 3,100 worldwide, with a presence in 95 different countries.[1] Its specific apostolate is the evangelization of the poor and the formation of the clergy. As of 2017[update], Tomaž Mavrič [pt] is the incumbent worldwide superior general of the Congregation of the Mission, elected during its general assembly on July 5, 2016.[5]
Opus Prize FinalistEdit
On August 30, 2007, The Catholic University of America, (with the Opus Prize 2004 Foundation, affiliated with The Opus Group), announced that it would award on November 8 a $1-million and two $100,000 Humanity prizes to finalist organizations which contributed to solve most persistent social problems: John Adams (of So Others Might Eat which serves the poor and homeless in Washington, DC); Stan Goetschalckx (founder and director of AHADI International Institute in Tanzania which educates refugees from Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi);[6] and Bebot Carcellar of the Vincentian Missionaries Social Development Foundation. On November 8, 2007, David M. O'Connell, president of Catholic University, personally bestowed these Opus Prizes at the university's Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center.[7]
PhilippinesEdit
In 2008 the Vincentian family marked 150 years in the Philippines, led by the provincial Bienvenido M. Disu, Gregorio L. Bañaga, President of Adamson University, and Archbishop Jesus Dosado of the Archdiocese of Ozamiz. The Philippine province has a deacon, 5 incorporated brothers, and 97 priests. Its most impressive work in its history is the housing program for hundreds of families, especially those affected by demolitions and relocations along the Philippine North and South Railways (PNR) tracks.
The CBCP Newsletter announced on July 10, 2008, the appointment of the Philippine Marcelo Manimtim as director of Paris-based Centre International de Formation (CIF). Manimtim is the first Asian to hold the office.[8]
Housing programsEdit
In 1991, Carcellar was assigned to Payatas. With his "Planning for a new home, Systemic Change Strategy," he organized Philippine massive home constructions, which he began by a savings program at Payatas dumpsite. Carcellar's "The Homeless Peoples Federation Philippines, Inc. (HPFPI)" provided slum dwellers of Iloilo City and Mandaue City with initiatives to survive poverty. In 2008 it promoted savings in Southeast Asia, since the Philippine Federation affiliated with an international network called "Slum/Shack Dwellers International".[9]
Another, younger Vincentian was also assigned by Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales as the Coordinator of the Housing Ministry of the Archdiocese of Manila.
Vincentian Center for Social Responsibility (VCSR)Edit
On September 28, 2007, Philippine Vice President Noli De Castro welcomed the launching of the Vincentian Center for Social Responsibility (VCSR)[10] by the Adamson University. VCSR intends to engage the Adamson's academic community more deeply and directly in nation-building and to directly respond to Millennium Development Goals' poverty alleviation initiatives in the country.[11] De Castro also cited the Adamson University and a Vincentian priest named Fr. Riles for their efforts in putting up the VCSR.
VCSR is also responsible for the creation of the Vincentian Facilitators (VF), the Academic Social Responsibility (ASR), the Academic Social Entrepreneurship (ASE), and the Academic Social Journalism (ASJ) at the Vincentian-owned Adamson University. Through VCSR, the movement towards academic social networking has become a reality in the university. VCSR is also responsible for organizing the First Northville and Southville People's Congress,[12] consisting of around 750,000 relocatees from Metro Manila and suburb cities and the municipalities of Cavite, Bulacan and Laguna.
United States of AmericaEdit
The Vincentians went to the United States in 1816 and two years later established St. Mary's of the Barrens seminary.[13] They founded Niagara University (1856), St. John's University (1870), and DePaul University (1898).[14]
The Western Province of the USA has a mission in Kenya, where in conjunction with parish ministry water projects have been initiated to provide clean water to the people.[14]
The New England Province was founded in 1904 by Vincentians from Poland. They staff parishes in New York and Connecticut. The Provincial headquarters is in Manchester, Connecticut.[15]

How do you repair a troubled start?
"Freddie was a three-month-old baby when he came to us. He'd been taken into care at just seven weeks. His mother was in prison with drug misuse problems and his father had died.
"His troubled start meant there was a possibility Freddie could have been HIV-positive. We received a lot of support and useful information from Coram at this time, which helped manage our worries.
"When we adopted Freddie, the adjustment process was absolutely fine. We already had one child, and knew we'd be good parents for him. Our older son had always wanted a little brother or sister, and was delighted when he became a part of the family.
"As he gets older, Freddie's curiosity is peaking about his family. It's really important that he knows where he comes from.
"Luckily Coram helped us to arrange contact between Freddie and his birth mother, and enabled us to integrate this contact into our lives.

Is it time for you to make the move to R32?
You might think R32 Refrigerant is new to the air conditioning world, but it has actually existed for many years and is already widely used in Japan, Australia and India. Many UK businesses have already set up initiatives to replace all their air conditioning equipment to systems charged with R32. Manufacturers of R32 systems suggest that national retailers and leisure chains are leading the way in the move to the more economical, more affordably maintained and lower GWP R32 charged air conditioning equipment.
The purpose of this eBook is to provide Facilities, Building, Estate and Project Managers with a guide to the legislation and the pros and cons around changing air conditioning systems to those charged with R32 refrigerant.
When it comes to refrigerant choice, R32 is certainly the most talked about. With the continuing rising cost of R407C and R410A, maintaining existing equipment is becoming increasingly more expensive for systems that are no longer considered up to date. It is little wonder that our clients are requesting our advice in what air conditioning system suits them now and for the foreseeable future.


In this video we can see Woman wrestling in this video. Professional wrestling (often shortened to pro wrestling or simply wrestling) is a form of sports entertainment which combines athletics with theatrical performance. It takes the form of events, held by touring companies, which mimic a title match combat sport. The unique form of sport portrayed is fundamentally based on classical and "catch" wrestling, with modern additions of striking attacks, strength-based holds and throws and acrobatic maneuvers, much of these derive from the influence of various international martial arts. An additional aspect of combat with improvised weaponry is sometimes included to varying degrees.
