Apocalypse Münsterland Container Tour starts
Apocalypse Münsterland Culture in 3D goes on container tour through Münsterland
VR goggles on! Culture in 3D goes on a container tour through Münsterland
Exhibition of the "Apocalypse Münsterland" project on the road as of 23 August
MÜNSTERLAND. In a museum on wheels, exhibits from 28 museums throughout Münsterland will be touring the region from 23 August. The special feature: In the container, the museum pieces are not behind glass, but can be experienced with virtual reality glasses. Visitors can turn, move, touch and try out pictures, sculptures, machines or buildings in the digital space. "Everything is allowed," says Kathrin Strotmann from Münsterland e.V., which is taking the container on the road with the cooperation project "Apocalypse Münsterland".
The story of the project: the future has lost its culture and is sending an SOS to the present. "Help us, send us culture you want to preserve!" In 2018, over 2000 visitors to 28 museums and exhibition halls in the region had heard the call for help and selected cultural objects to send to the future.
Now everyone can take a "last look" at the cultural asset before it is transmitted through the container as a sending station of the future: The container will make more than 23 stops at 19 different locations throughout Münsterland in the period from 23 August to 19 October (see below for locations/dates). For all those who are interested, this means: Go there and put on your glasses! The cultural assets can be experienced in a playful way through virtual reality glasses as well as haptically through 3D prints.
"We have 28 completely different exhibits in digital form. Those who come to our mobile container can choose what interests them and immerse themselves in the digital world of the exhibit," Kathrin Strotmann describes the concept of the exhibition on wheels. "In the virtual space, visitors can, for example, go into an underground burial chamber to look for an ancient ceremonial vessel or have the function of the Telgte Hunger Cloth explained to them in a Gothic church."
Students from Münster University of Applied Sciences from the course "Museum of the Future" had taken on the digitisation of the exhibits. The cultural objects were scanned or measured with a 3D scanner and then remodelled in 3D on the computer. The students also designed the tour container.
In the regional cultural and cooperation project "Apocalypse Münsterland", a project community of 28 museums and exhibition houses in Münsterland is working together under the project management of Münsterland e.V. with other cooperation partners from the region: Münster University of Applied Sciences, Department of Architecture (MSA | Münster School of Architecture), BOK + Gärtner GmbH (agency for communication design and scenography), FabLab Münster of münsterLAND.digital e.V. and the Münsterland Art and Culture Foundation.
The project is funded and supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (State Funding Programme Regional Cultural Policy), the LWL Cultural Foundation, the Commerzbank Foundation and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture based on a resolution of the German Bundestag (Federal Programme Rural Development).
The participating museums and exhibition houses can be viewed at www.apokalypse-muensterland.de/museen. All tour dates are once again available at www.apokalypse-muensterland.de/containertour.

Among custodially remanded male prisoners from Greater London and its surrounds, in 1979-1980, nearly 3% (63 men) were aged 55 or over, about one third of these being over 65. More than 40% were detained on theft charges and few for more serious offences, although serious violence was not unknown and nearly one-fifth of those 65 or over were subsequently convicted of non-violent sexual assaults. Like their younger counterparts, less than one-fifth of those aged 55 or over appeared to be first-time offenders. About half of the men of 55 or over had active symptoms of psychiatric disorder on entering the prison and about half had some form of physical disorder, twice the rates for those under 55. Psychosis and alcoholism were the major psychiatric problems; 27% were alcoholics, to the extent of showing withdrawal symptoms on or soon after entering prison. Schizophrenia was less common than the younger age groups, but affective psychosis more so; 37% of the older men had a major functional psychosis. Two-thirds of the 55-64 age group and over three-quarters of the over 65s were without an address; most of both groups were personally isolated.

Lone Star Carpet Care and Restoration bets our reputation (and our name) on carpet cleaning, but that isn't all we do! We're also experts in tile and grout cleaning. For over 20 year, we've been the company that San Antonio residents call to get their tile and grout looking as good as (or better than) NEW!
Our clients understand why carpet needs deep cleaning. It's made of fibers, after all, which absorb moisture and trap small particles within its thick construction. But these same clients would never imagine that their tile and grout could be just as filthy as their carpet.
Remember when your grout was brand new and bright white? Now it has a dark brown, even a black color. What do you think causes that? Would you believe it's caused from dirt, food particles, dander and germs trapped under the surface of the grout? Even harmful mold and mildew can grow within the narrow strips of grout between tiles. The microscopic particles trapped in your grout could be making you, your family or your customers sick!
Most people don't know that, although grout is strong enough to hold tiles in place, it is extremely porous. It allows dust and many other things to settle into these pores, just like carpet does. And your tile probably isn't as clean as you think, either. Regular mopping and cleaning (and by "regular," we mean every few days) is your best defense against germs and bacteria on your tile surfaces, but you'll never be able to penetrate into the deepest layers.
Lone Star Carpet Care and Restoration has high-powered, truck-mounted equipment that blasts hot water onto both tile and grout, cleaning and sanitizing them. Along with our acid wash, this method of treatment is the only way to achieve maximum results. A regular mop and store-bought cleaner just can't do what we can.
Although it's a separate service, Lone Star Carpet Care and Restoration does recommend that you allow us to apply a sealant after we deep clean your tile and grout. This sealant protects the floor from stains, dirt and mildew in the future.
Most of us learn to live with the dingy color of our dirty tile. Maybe you don't even remember what color it's supposed to be. The added benefit of tile and grout cleaning is that this service restores the bright, spotless look that your tile and grout had when it was brand new!
Lone Star Carpet Care and Restoration does tile and grout cleaning for residences and commercial businesses, as well as hotels and guest lodgings. We frequently deep clean the tile and grout in homes. As you can imagine, bathrooms and kitchens are the main rooms that require this service. Offices and hotels also frequently request our services to keep their tile and grout as clean as possible!
Let Lone Star Carpet Care and Restoration come out and do a thorough tile and grout cleaning in your home or business today!

David Shribman: Richard Nixon still haunts and…
David Shribman: Richard Nixon still haunts and bewilders
David Shribman
YORBA LINDA, Calif. — He was, like Calvin Coolidge, an introvert. He was, like Theodore Roosevelt, a battler. He was, like Bill Clinton, a policy wonk. He was, like Donald Trump, a polarizing figure. He was, like Warren Harding, a scoundrel. He was, like John F. Kennedy, a dreamer. He was, like Lyndon Johnson, a prisoner of Vietnam. He was, like Woodrow Wilson, a student of the presidency. He was, like George H.W. Bush, an experienced master of government. He was, like William Howard Taft, a reluctant practitioner of the political arts. He was, like Herbert Hoover, a tragic figure.
And yet there never has been anyone remotely like Richard Milhous Nixon.
The other day a group of Nixon loyalists gathered here — where Nixon was born and where his fears, resentments, insights and dreams took root — to mark what would have been his 106th birthday. "He continues to impact our lives through his foreign policy and domestic achievements," said William H. Baribault, president of the Richard Nixon Foundation, at the commemoration.
And Sunday is the 50th anniversary of Nixon's ascendancy to the presidency, an event largely unmarked but worthy of fresh attention. In a remarkable inaugural address overshadowed by Kennedy's and forgotten by history, the 37th president spoke of the great promise of the moment, the "high adventure" of the time, the chance to "shape decades or centuries," and this conviction, written in the text of his address and sandblasted onto his tombstone: "The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker."
His battles are over — he died a quarter-century ago, before Netscape Navigator, the phrase "information superhighway" and Justin Bieber were born — but the battle over Nixon continues.
"The Nixon years were a period of fertile ideas," said the historian Richard Norton Smith, who has served as director of the Lincoln, Hoover, Eisenhower, Ford and Reagan presidential libraries. "We tend to forget that because of the way it ended."
Then again, Ken Gormley, the president of Duquesne University and the author of a biography of Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor Nixon resisted and eventually caused to be fired, believes Nixon crossed several forbidden constitutional boundaries. "The tragedy of the Nixon presidency is that he won re-election as one of the most popular presidents in American history, yet he squandered that by trying to embellish his place in history even further — and that ended up destroying him."
This debate — malignant tumor on our politics or master of modern politics, or both — has raged since Nixon first ran for the House here in 1946, flared when he disparaged Helen Gahagan Douglas in a 1950 Senate campaign still regarded as a case study in character assassination, singed when as Dwight Eisenhower's embattled 1952 running mate he delivered the cloying "Checkers" speech and burned through his three presidential races.
"His opponents accept their view of him as a proto-fascist, dog-whistling bad guy," said Frank Gannon, who accompanied Nixon in his early exile and retirement, assisting him in his writing. "But he was a domestically liberal, international conservative, middle-road politician."
"There was real hope that he would do something to wind down the war in Vietnam," said John Roy Price, part of the Nixon domestic-policy team and one of the centrist Republicans who founded the Ripon Society. "There was also hope among some of us coming in that he would do something to improve race relations." Price said he joined the administration "to help Richard Nixon restore faith in American institutions."
The domestic-policy operation Price joined, along with future Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, was headed by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Harvard professor whose heart was broken by the Kennedy assassination. Its remit included health care, welfare, urban initiatives, even the sort of guaranteed-income program that Sen. George McGovern proposed in his doomed 1972 race against Nixon. In those early days, Nixon embraced environmental programs and endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment.
"A lot of time has elapsed, and people have put Nixon in greater context," said the conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan, then a top Nixon aide and later a presidential candidate himself. "There's now constant reference to the foreign-policy achievements, the summits with Russia and China. But his domestic agenda makes him seem as the last Republican progressive. Of course I opposed some of these things."
He may not have been the New Nixon — that was a confection he concocted — but this was a new profile for Nixon, evident especially in his views on Vietnam, which began to take form with a 1967 Foreign Affairs article he wrote with the assistance of Ray Price, later the principal sculptor of Nixon's inaugural address.
"He thought he could bring about a change from a bipolar international system full of malaise into a new, more fluid international situation," said the historian David Eisenhower, President Eisenhower's grandson and Nixon's son-in law. "The riddle he ran on was: End the war and win the peace. We usually won wars to get peace. He implied that the whole continuum of win and lose wouldn't necessarily work. I saw him give 130 speeches in the campaign, but I didn't understand what he was up to."
People have spent a lifetime not understanding what Nixon was up to, a view he didn't discourage. The presidency of Donald Trump has only renewed attention on Nixon, with Trump opponents finding new virtue in him by comparison and Trump supporters finding common cause with Nixon in the new age.
"This was a remarkably gifted and complicated man," said Roger Porter, who teaches a Harvard course on the presidency and is the only person who has had appointments from each of the last nine presidents. "He had a brilliant mind in many ways. He was prepared to do big things as president."
Those early years — and that elegant, evocative inaugural address — remind us of the high hopes and the deep disappointments. Nixon is gone, but he is still with us. A half-century later he still haunts, and bewilders, us.

The Greatest Game by Todd Denault
It is simply known as "The New Year's Eve Classic." Any good hockey fan knows exactly what game that refers to - the 3-3 tie between the famed Montreal Canadiens and famed Soviet Red Army on December 31st, 1975. So many people also refer to it as the greatest hockey game ever played.
What made this mid-season exhibition game so important? Why has it remained such a touchstone for so many people? What effect did have on the future course of the sport?
That is the focus of Todd Denault's new book The Greatest Game: The Montreal Canadiens, the Red Army, and the Night That Saved Hockey.
Buy The Book: Amazon.ca - Chapters - Amazon.com - E-Book
This is Denault's follow up title to his inaugural book/instant classic Jacques Plante: Man Who Changed Face of Hockey. Denault returns with his trademark exhaustive research and presents one of the most important hockey books ever written.
In order to answer the aforementioned questions, Denault first sets the stage for that game.That meant going back a full two decades to 1954 when the awesome strength of Soviet hockey was first introduced to Canada, and the idea of a game between the Soviets best and a NHL team was born.
From there the book tells the parallel story of the Soviet Union in international hockey and of the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL. This is done by using Anatoly Tarasov, the father of Russian hockey, as the conduit for the Soviets and Sam Pollock, arguably the greatest general manager in NHL history, for the Canadiens.
Then the reader is introduced to Vladislav Tretiak and Ken Dryden. It is through these two goalies that story flows. Other players certainly are given the spotlight, but it is the intertwined story of the top two goalies in the world in the 1970s that is the constant throughout the book, especially after both Tarasov and to a lesser extent Pollock fade into the background.
The backstory is long but necessary in order to build up the game so when it finally happens you know it's going to be big. Everything in the backstory leads to that game, brilliantly building a much anticipated crescendo. That's a hard thing to do when writing about an event where we all know the result and happened 35 years ago.
While building that crescendo, Denault's amazing research creates a real gem of a text as he looks at the state of hockey at that time. From Canada's external and internal challenges on the international stage to the deteriorating state of the National Hockey League, where only violence seemed to be escalating.
The New Year's Eve game helps to set the table for the golden age of international hockey competition and the Habs subsequent sweep of the Flyers helps sound the death knell for "the goon age" in hockey. Hence the subtitle of the book ... The Montreal Canadiens, the Red Army, and the Night that Saved Hockey.
This is a great history text that offers so much more than just a look at a single match of hockey. Any historical text that offers a look at Soviet hockey gets big kudos from me. As a big student of Soviet hockey history, I have voraciously read anything I can on the subject, and I can tell you Denault's offering is right up there with Lawrence Martin's The Red Machine as the top text book on the subject. And Denault's look back at the Canadian and professional game is every bit as important.
This is a great book for the hardcore hockey fan on your Christmas shopping list.
Here's the specs:
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
Here's more from McLelland & Stewart:
"This game wasn't about money, points, or trophies. Instead it was played for pride, both personal and national. It was a confrontation twenty years in the making and it marked a turning point in the history of hockey.
"On December 31, 1975, the Montreal Canadiens, the most successful franchise in the NHL, hosted the touring Central Red Army, the dominant team in the Soviet Union. For three hours millions of people in both Canada and the Soviet Union were glued to their television sets. What transpired that evening was a game that surpassed all the hype and was subsequently referred to as "the greatest game ever played." Held at the height of the Cold War, this remarkable contest transcended sports and took on serious cultural, sociological, and political overtones. And while the final result was a 3-3 tie, no one who saw the game was left disappointed. This exhibition of skill was hockey at its finest, and it set the bar for what was to follow as the sport began its global expansion."
And if you're interested in this title, I also recommend:

Remembering the Indian Freedom Struggle Movement
Deepak Nain
Deepak Nain is a Third Year student pursuing an undergraduate degree in history. His interests lie in Indian history, contemporary politics and foreign policy. He is a passionate reader and a proponent of liberal ideas who believes firmly in historical revisionism using dynamic tools and methods for historical reconstruction.
The story of India's resistance took different forms at different stages of British expansion. Therefore, revisiting these events serve multiple purposes by helping us draw lessons from the past and look for new heroes that are lost in the cumbersome process of history writing. The movement can be looked at from two sides, the first one involving the old form which regarded the British as usurping foreigners and sincerely believed that they should be swept off the face of India even if through violent means. The other was the new and improved form of resistance inculcated by English education and western ideas which tried to achieve constitutional self-government by a slow progress under the protection of the British.
The spread of the English pattern of education and the impact of western ideas of liberty, equality and nationalism influenced the growth of the national movement. This class had an implicit faith in the British sense of justice and fervently hoped to be entrusted with a larger share in the administration of their own country. It would seem the history of the freedom struggle fails to acknowledge the role played by the former group due to hijacking of the academia by a group of historians who have left no stone unturned in their scathing review of this group while creating a specific class of people predominantly the 'bhadraloks' as the flag-bearers of Indian independence. It can be argued that biases are inherent to history writing but, in this case, it is the selective representation of the role of revolutionaries, women, and peasants relegated to the footnotes of history. A more complex and inclusive account of Indian history is the need of the hour.
However, with the passage of time even the educated Indians or, as Lord Macaulay called them, the "Brown Sahibs" felt disappointed and disillusioned as they found that the despotic rule of an alien power gave them no opportunities. Thus, towards the closing of 19th century, dissatisfied with the rate of progress achieved, many Indians started favoring the adoption of measures which, it was hoped, would produce speedy results. The new leaders infused with a deep religious spirit, exemplified by the promotion of native culture, sprang up, especially in Bengal, designed to remove the reproach that Indians were a non-martial and effete people. Exhortations were addressed to the people, particularly the youth of the country, in the name of Kali, the goddess of strength, and in the name of Shivaji, to unite and retaliate against the foreign rule.
But over the years, the historiography of Indian nationalism dominated by Marxist historians has reduced nationalism to a sort of 'learning process' through which the native elite became involved in politics simply with the expectations that certain favors in the form of wealth and power would be given to them. The general orientation of the elitist historiography is to represent Indian nationalism as primarily an idealist venture in which the indigenous elite led the people from subjugation to freedom. It fails to acknowledge the contribution made by the people on their own i.e. independently of the elite. There are numerous instances in the past which clearly indicates that in several cases the principal actors were the subaltern classes and groups constituting the mass of the laboring population and the peasants. This was seen in peasant uprisings of Santhals, Paiks, Kols along with the revolt of 1857.
Along with the active participation of peasants and the artisan class, we often come across what has been called as passive resistance by the historians where they deliberately delayed their duties and performed other tasks in the service of their English masters. In many historic instances involving large masses of working people and petty bourgeois in the urban areas, the bigwigs derived their strength directly from the paradigm of peasant insurgency and mobilized them to their benefits especially visible in the taluqadari crisis of 1856. However, Leftist historians waited for the rise of mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress(INC) to explain the peasant movements of the colonial period so that it would be treated as the 'prehistory of the freedom movement'. A peasant, according to subaltern historian Ranajit Guha, knew what he was doing in a revolt and the fact that they were designed primarily to destroy the authority of the subordinate elite and carried no elaborate blueprint for its replacement, doesn't put it outside the realm of politics. Therefore, motives of such rebellions were less primitive than it is often presumed to be.
In the long history of India's liberation movement, it is important to trace the emergence of revolutionary ideology which grew very popular along with the ideas of non-violence. The British became unpopular among Indian masses when their promises of colonial state being a benevolent and welfare state appeared to be failing and the economic exploitation of Indians reached unprecedented levels. Dadabhai Naoroji writing about the drain of wealth to England as a result of British economic policies in his book, Poverty and Un-British Rule in India followed by some works by scholars like RC Dutt and William Digby brought an end to the façade of a welfare state.
However, the stalwarts of INC directed a majority of the resistance against the British, endorsing the passive methods of boycotts, hartals and demonstrations as their main weapons. A lot of people considered them too moderate and ineffective becoming disillusioned with these methods and opting to obtain freedom via individual conspiracies instead. The initial decades of 20th century proved to be conducive to their growth both abroad and at home, especially in Bengal, which became the hotbed of revolutionary activities and Indian nationalism primarily because it was the first province to have received western education, hence getting a taste of ideas of democracy and freedom of speech. By the time Gandhi landed in India, the ideas of Swaraj had already captivated the minds of millions of Indians.
Historians have projected India's freedom either as a sole achievement of INC or as a wartime gift by Britain. When INC was conducting nationalist movements towards the end of 19th century, a minority of ardent Indian patriots headed by Bal Gangadhar Tilak were preparing the mind of the people for an acute struggle, believing in action and extreme sacrifice for the country. Shyam Krishna Verma is credited with the propagation of the movement abroad and foundation of the "Indian Home Rule Society" aimed at securing Home Rule for India by mobilizing the support of public in England. The revolutionary movement itself was a result of gradual emergence of national renaissance manifested through social and literary movements in which the works of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Swami Dayanand Saraswati and many others were used to invoke the sense of nationalism and India's ancient glory.
Shyamji openly propagated the use of force to achieve independence, foreseeing that the possibility of a peaceful revolution was very remote. He also started "India House" owned by Madam Cama which became the center of patriotic extremism. Amongst his finest recruits was Vinayak Damodar Savarkar who took over the movement after the departure of Shyamji and was a founder of "Abhinava Bharata", a secret society of revolutionaries involved in clandestine operations and preaching the gospel of freedom to influence world opinion in favor of India's independence. He also communicated with President Roosevelt regarding the appeal to Hitler to ward off the colonial danger to civilization and argued that he should also ask Britain to withdraw armed dominance over Hindustan. Shyamji Krishna Verma, SR Rana, Mrs. VR Cama and VD Savarkar formed the earliest band of revolutionaries working in Europe. Rash Behari Bose had been watching all these political developments on the Indian scene and in the years preceding the Second World War kept up the correspondence with Savarkar and founded the Japan branch of Hindu Mahasabha with himself as its president.
"Anushilan Smiti'' based in Calcutta was another organization founded on the same lines in Bengal, arising out of conglomeration of local youth groups and gyms which came into being as a club of physical exercises in 1902 and was led by nationalists such as Aurobindo Ghosh and his brother Barindra Ghosh and had started a weekly newspaper Jugantar to preach armed struggle. It had branches in Calcutta and Dacca. Its members swore an oath of liberating their country with a copy of the Gita placed in their hands in front of the sacrificial fire. This presents a unique example of how religion played a critical role in driving people to action and exhibits how religious revivalism became a vital force for the growth of revolutionary work. With the outbreak of swadeshi movement, it gradually began to acquire a political complexion and within a few years it grew by leaps and bounds and became the most important recruiting agency of Bengali youth for secret work. By 1902, their activities were supported by ample funds and a well-equipped technical and intelligence department and it was forging alliances with other rebellious groups.
The working of revolutionaries is dismissed by historians as lacking planning and coordination without any idea of creating a republic union as we see today but what is even more fascinating is the existence of a common network of revolutionary conspiracy from Punjab to Bengal in which Anushilan Smiti formed an important link. However, it is worthwhile noticing that the Smiti focused less on manufacturing of arms and ammunition and more on propagation of the cult of violence through its far-flung and close-knit organistion. The idea of non-violence and satyagraha didn't fit well with its leaders resulting in its indifference towards the Non-Cooperation Movement. Sachindra Nath Sanyal was one such leader who was borne out of this Smiti and was incharge of its branch in UP and later went on to found "Hindustan Socialist Republican Association" at Firoz Shah Kotla in Delhi which sought the 'banishment of British from the seats of political power'.
It was not as if only those directly affected by the British were inclined towards extremism. Har Dayal, who was studying at Oxford on returning to India is an example. By 1910, he set up an independent press in San Francisco for the publication of Ghadr from which the name Ghadr Party was derived to neutralize the British propaganda in US and elsewhere. The movement got a fillip from the voyage of Kamagata Maru after which the Indians in Canada started thinking in terms of challenging the immigration laws of their country which created an unfair distinction between Indian and Europeans. Ghadr Party is also credited with the formation of the provisional government of India rooted in Kabul proclaiming alliance between Hindus and Muslims with the support and approval of their cause by the Sultan of Turkey and the Kaiser of Germany. After the departure of Har Dayal from the American scene, the tradition of his lecture tour was maintained by Ram Chandra, Barkatullah, Bhagwan Singh and Govind Lal.
The vital contribution of Indian revolutionaries can be clearly seen from the "Sedition Committee Report of 1918" which regarded them as a bigger threat to the mighty empire due to their unwillingness to compromise and demand for full-fledged independence unlike the INC which had developed an attitude of compromise and petitions. The revolutionaries, some scholars argue, would have presented a bigger threat if they had successfully driven out British from India with the use of force and violence resulting in a power vacuum in the absence of a single pan-Indian Party leading to an outbreak of civil war. Such arguments are largely speculative though, owing very little to facts. If we look at some of the letters written by Bhagat Singh to his fellow comrades, one can get an idea of his thought process and how deeply rooted his philosophy and ethics were. He believed that power had to be transferred to the revolutionary party through popular support, to organize the reconstruction of society on the socialist basis and to educate masses with no intent of laying down a populist regime at all.
The initial years of independence witnessed a shift in the manner of history writing from chronicling the details of kings and queens to documenting the aspects of the lives of common people but still when it comes to historicizing sensitive events such as the independence movement, the colonial historiography, predominantly the Cambridge school of thought, known for its cynical outlook towards the issue of Indian nationalism remains influential to date. It is only through exposure to similarities and differences of opinion among different schools of thought that we can engage in a meaningful debate. Selective representation of facts is also a form of biased history propelled to indoctrinate young minds by preventing their exposure to the other side of the story which has to be taken care of immediately via promoting and pioneering research that portrays both sides in an adequate and holistic manner.
The pertinent question here is not to argue over what won us independence but to open the stage for a discourse over how the forces of revolutionary activities and Ahimsa played their part without diminishing the role of the former. Many scholars from the time of independence itself have been indulging in the process of history writing and in debates as to what extent was the use of force instrumental in achieving freedom. Their impact may have been minuscule but that doesn't mean that their heroic contribution don't deserve a place in history. Their contribution should in fact be floated as an alternative narrative that led to Indian independence so that they are able to color present passions and set right the course of History-making.


SAP HANA alert monitoring is used to monitor the status of system resources and services that are running in the HANA system. Alert monitoring is used to handle critical alerts like CPU usage, disk full, FS reaching threshold, etc. The monitoring component of HANA system continuously collects information about health, usage and performance of all the components of HANA database. It raises an alert when any of the component breaches the set threshold value.
The priority of alert raised in HANA system tells the criticality of problem and it depends on the check that is performed on the component. Example − If CPU usage is 80%, a low priority alert will be raised. However, if it reaches 96%, system will raise a high priority alert.
The System Monitor is the most common way to monitor HANA system and to verify the availability of all your SAP HANA system components. System monitor is used to check all key component and services of a HANA system.
Alert tab in Administrator editor is used to check the current and all alerts in HANA system.
It also tells about the time when an alert is raised, description of the alert, priority of the alert, etc.
High and Medium priority alerts.

Boutique hotel, bar planned on Bardstown Road in Cherokee Triangle

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – A closed laundromat on Bardstown Road in the Cherokee Triangle will be demolished to make way for a five-story boutique hotel and a bar, according to plans filed Friday with Louisville Metro government.
Dustin Hensley, owner of Utopia Ventures LLC, plans the project at 1125 Bardstown Road, between Akiko's and Nowhere Bar.
"This would be the biggest project of my career," said Hensley, who said he is 37 and manages multifamily buildings and does historic preservation work primarily in Old Louisville.
Hensley's company took title to the Bardstown Road property in 2017, records show.
Hensley said the hotel will be upscale and "super-boutique" – about 40 rooms. It will be set back from Bardstown Road against the alley at the rear of the lot.
The bar will be closer to Bardstown Road, according to plans.

Hensley said he hasn't nailed down the project's financing, hotel brand or construction timeline. One of the buildings could be constructed by the end of the year in the fastest scenario, he said.
Hensley said he is not worried about vacant buildings along the historically vibrant Bardstown Road corridor.
"I am not really concerned about Bardstown Road going backwards; there is a lot of development in the city in general," he said. "I don't think the Highlands is going anywhere."
Louisville Metro government filed two liens totaling $1,777 on the Bardstown Road building last year for property maintenance code violations, records show.
Hensley acknowledged the liens but said "There is no point in spending thousands on a building you're going to tear down."
Hensley also appears to have been the subject of a WHAS investigation in 2009.
The station reported at the time that more than a dozen construction workers employed by a Hensley-managed company on an apartment renovation in Old Louisville were not paid for their labor, and that Hensley had been convicted of armed robbery and theft in 2006.
Hensley declined to talk about that reporting.
"I would like to leave the past in the past," he said. "Obviously I am doing big things. I think my actions speak for themselves."
Online court records show Dustin L. Hensley was convicted robbery and theft in Jefferson County in 2006 and that the same person was convicted of operating as an unlicensed HVAC contractor in 2010.

As our collection of studies exhibits, Quarterly parity, the issues of parity are on the origin of potential enormous losses for hoteliers, who've a number of causes, in accordance with whether or not or not the OTA have a contractual relationship with inns.
What we don't typically focus on is the position that wholesalers play in aggravating this drawback relating to non-contracted OTAs.
"The fundamental mechanism is that wholesalers subcontract their shares at an excellent worth and promote them to OTAs, leaving room for inns," Clive Wooden World Industrial Director of Parity Perception at OTA Perception. "However it's shocking what number of hoteliers usually are not conscious of what's occurring day after day when prospects ebook by the numerous channels accessible. How a lot of their revenue is threatened? "
As a part of our ongoing work on this space, now we have collected numerous information factors that map wholesalers to non-outsourced OTAs. We analyzed this information to supply this infographic.

The Miami Beach real estate market is holding steady from last year as 2018 nears to a close. On the one hand, condominium sales remain flat as a majority of domestic buyers enter the market and look elsewhere in Miami-Dade County for new inventory. On the other hand, commercial spaces are faring better following a stream of natural crises in previous years.
Many buyers, she says, are coming from places like New York City and San Francisco.
Americans are shopping to invest in a vacation home and a property that doubles as an easy rent. Danny Hertzberg, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker, credits events like Art Basel for exposing domestic visitors to Miami and exemplifying how international the city can be.
Price points change depending on whether the unit offers ocean views and luxurious amenities, Ms. Brito said. Properties selling at top dollar offer ocean views instead of the Miami Beach interior cityscape, she said.
Opulence is also defined by beach service, a high-end pool, and extended concierge offerings. For example, Ms. Brito said, a resident who flies in from New York can expect the front desk to order the groceries prior to arrival.
The Miami Association of Realtors reports that in the third quarter of this year Miami Beach had the second-highest number of closed residential sales paid in cash, with 241 transactions. The average sale price closed at $556,607.
South of Fifth, or what Mr. Hertzberg dubs the Manhattan of Miami Beach, continues to sell well. The neighborhood stretches from South Pointe Park at 1 Washington Ave. to Fifth Street.
Residents in the neighborhood get around on foot, on a bike, and – at times – in luxurious cars like a Maserati.
Buyers who settle in Miami Beach are at a walkable distance from fine dining and world-class entertainment options.
And Lyle B. Stern, president of Koniver Stern Group and a Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce board of governors member, says the commercial market also is doing better than the past three years.
Miami Beach experienced less-active streets with the temporary closure of the convention center, Hurricane Irma and Zika.
Lincoln Road, especially, is welcoming more foot traffic and vendors are paying a steep price for that attention. Although the prices do fluctuate depending on the area, Mr. Stern says that for example an organization looks at an average of $250 per foot net on the leasing market on Lincoln Road.
Each sub-market in Miami Beach offers a different commercial niche for nearby visitors and residents. Take South of Fifth versus Lincoln Road – the former has a great dining scene while the latter caters more to shoppers.
Mr. Stern expects renovations on Lincoln Road by James Corner Field Operations to soon be approved by the City of Miami Beach and eventually bring back more foot traffic to the area. The project will be done in micro-units from blocks 400 to 1,000 on Lincoln Road starting in the summer. Construction work will be barricaded off so as to not disrupt those passing by.
Mr. Stern points to Sunset Harbor as another area growing in popularity. The neighborhood off Bay Road that faces Venetia Way offers dining and retail options that feed into the health and fitness craze.
The condo market is expected to remain flat in 2019, with no growth in prices, as buyers look to Brickell and downtown for new construction. But renovation plans looming over Lincoln Road might encourage buyers to keep their sights on the area as Mr. Stern believes the outdoor mall and other commercial spaces will soon see even better times.
