The ground floor of the two-storey building features a development laboratory, drying area, enhancement laboratory, receiving area, exhibit room, ballistics laboratory, bulk storage and space for equipping an indoor test firing range. On the top floor, there are offices, server rooms, conference/training room, bathrooms, dormitories, showers, consumable storage and a kitchen.
Clever Solutions Ltd. – a Trinidad-based company – constructed the building and also acquired and installed many of the special equipment that will be used by the police and civilian technicians. These include fingerprint detection capture, forensic lighting, air drying cabinets and many more that will assist with evidence-based enhancement and recovery.
"All of these equipment bear the Foster and Freeman technology and these are the leaders and manufacturers of forensic science equipment," Clive Bickram of Clever Solutions Ltd shared at the ceremony to mark the commissioning. "Your forensic laboratory is of world-class standard to the necessary ISO (International Organization for Standardization) requirement and we are grateful that this [government] allowed us to be part of this experience."
Mr. Bickram noted that the construction was carried out by a number of local contractors and he credited them for their professional work and ability to rise to the occasion in achieving the vision for this specialized facility.
The new forensic facility was jointly funded by the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis and the Whitegate Development Corporation.

"Salesman" live in Japan in 1968
Here's one courtesy of the Live Almanac's YouTube channel! On the Japanese tour in October 1968, one of the concerts was filmed (most likely during the two day, three concert stay at Budokan Hall in Tokyo on October 3 and 4, 1968) and later broadcasted on Japanese television. This recording, however, has never been officially released. The audio of it (straight from the video) does exist as a bootleg and is why we can hear cuts like the one below, but the video footage is presumed lost or destroyed.
During the performance of "Salesman" and some other numbers, Davy played bass while Peter moved to keyboards. I'm a big fan of the Japan '68 bootleg...really wish it had been preserved more carefully.

It was a black weekend for the Black and Whites as the Seniors, Reserves, Colts and Woodsmen all suffered significant defeats in important matches.
The Seniors put their finals prospects in jeopardy with a 10 goal defeat, the Reserves blew a chance to go into the five with a narrow loss, the Colts were blown away in the second half of their Qualifying Final and the Woodsmen bowed out of the 2016 finals with a loss in the First Semi Final.
The good news is that the Seniors can still finish in third place but it will be tight on several fronts, the Reserves will need a big slice of luck to make it and the Colts get a second chance in the First Semi Final vs Aspley this week.
A match the Western Magpies were confident of winning and cementing a finals position went pear shaped as the Pies capitulated in the second half to suffer their second ten goal loss to Morningside this season. The loss resulted in a loss of percentage as well as allowing Morningside to draw level on points with the Magpies. The Pies still hold third place on the ladder but such is the ladder and draw that they face a virtual elimination final when they host fourth placed Surfers Paradise at Chelmer on Saturday.
Even a win on Saturday could result in a either third or fourth placed finish as Morningside play Sandgate and this brings percentage into the equation-- the Pies hold a 5.22 percent advantage over Morningside, which equates to about a 12 goal win which means a narrow Pies victory could still see them slip a place on the ladder-- there will be plenty of AFLQ Live Score watching on Saturday!! A Pies loss means season over unless Wilston Grange upset Mt Gravatt.
In Saturday's match, leading by a point deep into time on in the second quarter before a late Panthers goal gave them a 5 point half time lead, the Pies were well in the game and in fact for long periods controlled the match in the first half without putting scoreboard pressure on the home team.
The first half was tough contested football and the Magpies decided to play it close to restrict the Panthers scoring.
The second half did not go to plan as the Pies were beaten in the middle of the ground and the home side killed the Pies on the spread who were back pedaling as a result and indisappointing second half were outscored 12 goals to 2. The Pies were fumble-bums after half timeand missed targets with hand and foot and it was an uncharacteristic display from the Magpies. Key defender Chris Hunt was injured in the second quarter and could not resume after half time and he was sorely missed.
The only winner on the day for the Pies was 17 year old fullback Charlie Pershouse, who kept Morningside's decorated full forward Kent Abey to one goal. Pershouse matched his much celebrated opponent for height and pace and his spoiling and close checking was one positive for the Magpies.
Despite being hampered with a sore foot Drew Mitchell worked hard to lift his side and another 17 year old in Will Fletcher also had a strong game across half back to underline his potential.
David Lewis was also a good player trying to stem the tide and he has had a very good few weeks with consistent football.
Nick Barling, enjoying being now injury free for the first time this year, worked hard in ruck and gave drive around ground and Jadan Morton played as a virtual old-fashioned ruck-rover and he battled hard all around the ground in an effort to lift his side.
Coach Nathan Clarke locked his charges in the rooms after the match to spell out a few home truths and he will expect his team to lift for this week's big match. It is a virtual elimination final--the loser misses out but if the Pies win it may secure third place and a Qualifying Final place and the double chance the following week.
The Magpies finals series starts a week early, so get down to the Nest this week and throw your support behind the Black & White!


Apprentice II is a very detailed and intense approach into Grandfathers' most sensitive teaching, Vision, and Prophecy. The class expands all levels of the Tracker School including the physical skills such as Tracking, Awareness, Camouflage, Stalking and Movement, Fire, Shelter, Water and the Gathering of food as well as Medicinal and Edible wild plants, pottery, Philosophy & Temple Journeys and so much more. My approach in the Apprentice classes has always been to take the student deeper into both the physical and spiritual application of not only the physical skills but also the highly spiritual skills and techniques. Even though the Apprentice II will be somewhat similar to the original Apprentice, in many respects the overall focus of the group will be different than the original in many subtle ways. Given the staggering amount of skills that Grandfather taught and the limited amount of time before the collapse, this second and last Apprentice program must take place if we are ever to preserve all that Grandfather taught and lived.
Remember that this Apprentice II group will be teaching and entering areas that I can't teach in the main stream Tracker Classes. This class will go into deep and intense detail, expanding ones base of knowledge and bringing all those who attend to the point of mastery.


LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Fire Capt. Art replica watches Hurtado was making an off-duty visit to a home improvement store when he encountered a horrific sight ― a man had deliberately cut his own arms to the bone with handsaws.
As others screamed, the veteran paramedic used rolex replica materials from store shelves to stanch the bleeding.
"I kind of MacGyver-ed it," Hurtado said fake watches Thursday, referring to the old TV drama about a secret agent who used whatever materials he could find to solve imitation rolex problems.
The incident occurred Wednesday inside Replica Audemars Piguet a Home Depot store in West Covina, a suburb east of Los Angeles.
The victim of the self-mutilation remained Replica Bell & Ross hospitalized in critical condition as investigators tried to determine why he hurt himself.
The man, whose name wasn't released, underwent surgery and was in intensive care, West Covina police Cpl. Rudy Lopez said.
"He's still not speaking," Lopez said. "We Replica Breitling don't know anything about his history, motive, concerns at this point."
Police said the man had grabbed several small Replica Burberry saws, including one meant to cut drywall.
Hurtado, 51, who works for the Pasadena Fire Department, had stopped by the store with his wife to pick up material to replace the trim on his daughter's house.
He noticed police cars as he arrived. When Replica Bvlgari officers pulled on medical gloves, Hurtado followed them into the store.
"It's just mayhem in there," he Replica Cartier recalled. 'Somebody's screaming in there as they're approaching the door that there's blood everywhere."
Hurtado saw blood in several aisles and Replica Casio people running around hysterically.
He walked down an aisle and saw police officers next to a man lying face down in a pool of blood.
"It looks like a crime scene to me, a Replica Chanel dead body," he said. "There's splatter everywhere, I'd say another 50, 75 feet of blood."
Hurtado told the store manager that he was Replica Chopard a paramedic, and he was allowed to move in. He and the officers flipped the man over. He was barely breathing and had no neck pulse.
Hurtado knew he had to do something.
"I'm not on duty, I don't have all the equipment Replica Emporio Armani that I normally have," he said.
The 21-year veteran called for quarter-inch rope Replica Franck Muller and said he would have used his shoelaces if none was available. Somebody grabbed a package of rope from a store shelf. Hurtado had a police officer cut 24-inch sections and Replica Gucci he used it and shop towels to make a tourniquet for one arm.
The man started to come around, moaning, and Replica Guess arriving West Covina paramedics took over.
Hurtado, who was working without protective gloves, cleaned up with hand sanitizer.
He said the man had cut through nerves, tendons Replica Hublot and arteries to the bone above both elbows. Without fast medical help, he could have died, Hurtado said.
"I's just things you do instinctively. I'm here to serve," he said. "Any one of my brothers and sisters in the department would have done the same thing.

Dichroic filter An optical filter that transmits light selectively according to wavelength.
Dielectric A dielectric material is a substance that is a poor conductor of electricity, but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields. Placing a dielectric between two metal plates, across which a voltage is applied, results in a slight separation of the positive and negative charges in the dielectric. This charge separation helps support the electric field between the plates and can store energy. This property is useful in capacitors, especially at radio frequencies. Dielectric materials are also used in the construction of radio-frequency transmission lines.
Dielectric Breakdown The voltage required to cause an electrical failure or breakthrough of the insulation. Determined by a destructive test. See also Breakdown Voltage.
Dielectric Constant (also K) The ratio of the capacitance between two electrodes with a solid, liquid, or gaseous dielectric, to the capacitance with air between the electrodes. Also called permittivity and specific inductive capacity.Generally low values are desirable for insulation.

Dielectric Strength – Electric Strength – Hipot The two most important, basic, and unique features that signal-isolation transformers provide are balance and physical separation, i.e. a dielectric barrier. The physical separation of the primary and secondary windings (or line-side and chip-side windings) allows sensitive low-voltage circuits to be safely electromagnetically connected to circuit nodes exposed to high voltage potentials without a direct conductive path. The voltage rating of a transformer is called out by its dielectric strength level in VACRMS or VDC. The transformer is guaranteed to isolate the primary and secondary windings from high-voltage transients below this rated level. The typical dielectric level for most telecom applications is 1500VACRMS for a one minute duration. At some voltage potential, a leakage current will begin to flow through the protective insulation. When the magnitude of this current exceeds a predefined level (typically 500µA), Insulation Breakdown or Dielectric Breakdown is said to have occurred. As per UL1950 (5.3.2): "Insulation breakdown is considered to have occured when the current which flows as a result of the application of the test voltage rapidly increses in an uncontrolled manner, i.e. the insulation does not restrict the flow of the current. Corona discharge or a single momentary flashover is not regarded as insulation breakdown."
Dielectric Withstand Voltage DWV – The voltage level at which the dielectric breaks down, allowing conduction between isolated conductors or between a conductor and the core. Isolation, or hipot is the ability of a transformer to withstand a specific breakdown voltage between the primary and secondary windings.
Differential Mode A current conduction mode in which currents, relative to two conductors, are flowing 180¡ out of phase, with equal magnitude within the conductors.
Differential Mode Current The intended signal currents that are equal and oppositely directed on pairs of signal and return (ground) conductors.
Differential Mode Noise Also known as normal-mode noise. It is the electrical interference that is not common to both lines, but is present between both lines.
Differential Mode Voltage The voltage that drives equal and oppositely directed currents to achieve an intended circuit function. The source of differential mode current.
Diffraction grating An array of fine, parallel, equally spaced reflecting or transmitting lines that mutually enhance the effects of diffraction to concentrate the diffracted light in a few directions determined by the spacing of the lines and by the wavelength of the light.
Diffusion The movement of electrical charge carriers or particles from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration. In semiconductor fabrication, the movement of impurity atoms during high temperature annealing.
Digital Having or pertaining to the use of numbers expressed in digits to represent all of the variables of a system. Using, pertaining to, or consisting of that class of devices whose performance varies only in discrete steps.
Digital Signal 0 (DS-0) North American Digital Hierarchy signaling standard for transmission at 64 kbps. (2) Digital Signal Level 0 is the worldwide standard transmission rate (64 kbps) for PCM digitized voice channels. 24 DSOs exist in each DSI (T1) signal.
Digital Signal 1 (DS-1) North American Digital Hierarchy signaling standard for transmission sat 2.544 Mbps. Supports 24 simultaneous DS-O signals. Term often used interchangeably with T-1, although DS-1 signals may be exchanged over other transmission systems.

Directional Coupler A four port device that transmits the majority of signal power incident on its input port to the output port and the remainder of the signal power to a third, coupled port. Signals incident on the output port are coupled to the fourth, coupled port, which may be terminated with a resistor equal in value to the coupler's characteristic impedance. The ratio of the coupled power to the input power is the coupling factor.
Disable The act of de-asserting the enable signal to turn off the device. In the case of an EN low device, the EN signal must fall below the typical threshold voltage of 1.5V.
Disaccommodation (DF) The proportional decrease of permeability after a disturbance of a magnetic material, measured at a constant temperature, over a given time interval. The resultant permeability after magnetic conditioning divided by the permeability of the first measurement times log10 of the ratio of time interval.
Discontinuity A broken connection, or the loss of a specific connection characteristic. Also, the temporary interruption or variation in current or voltage.
Discrete Complete in and of itself. In electronics, a discrete component consists of a single circuit element in a package, for example a diode or transistor. In practice, some components considered discrete may actually consist of a few simple circuit elements in a single package.
Discrete Air Gap Mechanical air gap created by a small number of breaks in the magnetic path. In a standard C-core this number is generally two, a standard E-core is generally three, etc.
Discriminator A tuned circuit that produces an output voltage, the amplitude and polarity of which are determined by the frequency of the input signal. A discriminator is used as the demodulator in an FM receiver.

Distortion can be expressed mathematically in terms of the harmonics of the fundamental frequency. This parameter is of considerable importance in instrumentation transformers.
Distortion-limited operation Generally synonymous with bandwidth-limited operation.
Distributed Air Gap A major feature of iron powder cores. It is the cumulative effect of many small gaps distributed evenly throughout the core. In a typical MPP core, the number of separate air gaps results from the use of powder to construct the core and numbers in the millions. The result is minimal fringing flux density compared to a core with one or two discrete air gaps in the magnetic path.
Distributed Capacitance (1) In the construction of an inductor, each turn of wire or conductor acts as a capacitor plate. The combined effects of each turn can be presented as a single capacitance known as the distributed capacitance. The capacitance is in parallel with the inductor. This parallel combination will resonate at some frequency, which is called the self-resonant frequency (SRF). Lower distributed capacitance for a given inductance will result in a higher SRF and vice versa. (2) Capacitance that is not concentrated within a lumped capacitor, but spread over a circuit or group of components.
Distributed Inductance Inductance that is not concentrated within a lumped inductor, but spread over a circuit or group of components.

DOP Dilution Of Precision
Dopant An impurity added to a pure substance to alter the behavior or properties of the pure substance. Dopants in semiconductors are either charge carrier donors or acceptors, and make the semiconductor either n-type (surplus electrons), or p-type (shortage of electrons).
Doping The intentional addition of a foreign substance to a pure substance in order to alter the behavior or properties of the pure substance.
Doppler Effect The apparent shift in frequency of an incident wave that is the result of relative velocity between the emitter of the wave and the receiver of the wave. The Doppler shift frequency (fd) is given by: fd = 2 V (f0 / c) cosF, where: f0 is transmitter frequency in Hz, c is velocity of light (3 x 108 meters per second), V is the magnitude of the relative velocity (meters per second), æ is the angle between the incident wave and target's path. Note: cos æ is 1 for motion directly toward or away from the receiver. Velocity (V) is a vector that determines the sign of doppler shift frequency.
Doppler Radar A radar system that uses the Doppler effect to measure presence and velocity of a target. The commercial Doppler systems, such as police radars and intrusion alarms, usually operate with a "zero IF" because the transmitter source (Gunn oscillator) is also used as the local oscillator for the mixer. Using this technique, the frequency of the IF signal is the Doppler shift frequency. For example, if the transmitter frequency is 10.525 GHz, a vehicle traveling at 50 mph will cause a Doppler shift of 1568 Hz.

The Doppler shift frequency (fd) is given by: fd = 2 V (f0 / c) cosF, where: f0 is transmitter frequency in Hz, c is velocity of light (3 x 108 meters per second), V is the magnitude of the relative velocity (meters per second), æ is the angle between the incident wave and target's path. Note: cos æ is 1 for motion directly toward or away from the receiver. Velocity (V) is a vector that determines the sign of doppler shift frequency.
Double Balanced Mixer A frequency translation circuit, which consists of four components with nonlinear impedance, typically Schottky diodes or FET's, connected in a ring quad configuration, with balun transformers at the RF and LO inputs to connect unbalanced transmission lines to the balanced quad. The IF output is via an unbalanced transmission line. The term balanced mixer is used to imply that neither of the input terms will appear at the mixer output. In practice, suppression of these input components is never perfect in an analog mixer circuit. Both types of mixer produce signals at odd harmonics of the carrier frequency, particularly the diode ring mixer. In most cases, these can be easily filtered out.
Downconverter (Mixer) A mixer whose desired output signal called the IF signal is the difference of the incident RF and LO signals.
DQPSK Differential quadrature phase shift key modulation.

Drop Refers to the horizontal cabling for one work area, as in "The job has 100 drops."
Drop Cable A cable that connects a network device such as a computer to a physical medium such as an Ethernet network. Drop cable is also called transceiver cable because it runs from the network node to a transceiver (a transmit/receiver) attached to the trunk cable.
Drop-out Voltage The voltage at which all contacts return to their "normal", unoperated positions. (Applicable only to non-latching relays.)
DSL Digital Subscriber Line- Another name for an ISDN BRI channel.

Duplex transmission Transmission in both directions, either one direction at a time (half duplex) or both directions simultaneously (full duplex).
Duplexer A circuit or component that allows a communications system to simultaneously transmit and receive signals through a common component, such as an antenna. Such systems typically use different frequencies for the transmit and receive signals, so the duplexer is often a pair of filters, each tuned to pass the desired signal frequency and reject the other signal frequency.

For the first time LHCb measured the difference between matter and antimatter in D0 mesons, particles composed of a charm quark and an up antiquark.
The difference in the behaviour of matter and antimatter, known as CP violation, is one of the key processes to understand why the Universe is composed only by matter particles and why there is no residual antimatter. It's the first time this effect is observed in particles containing the charm quark with fractional charge of +2/3. This asymmetry was observed in 1964 in decays of particles containing the strange quark and, later, in 2001, in particles containing beauty quarks, both with a charge of -1/3. It took almost another 20 years to reach this fundamental achievement which opens new scenarios in our understanding of the Universe and in the verification of the Standard Model.
LHCb, one of the four major experiments in data-taking at the LHC accelerator of CERN, analysed about 100 million of D0 meson rare decays collected between 2011 and 2018, measuring a very small effect, around 0.15%. This crucial milestone has been achieved also thanks to the excellent capability to identify the different kinds of particles, a unique feature of LHCb.
The Italian LHCb community gave a fundamental contribution to this measurement, namely through the data-analysis carried out by the Bologna INFN group. The activity of the 13 LHCb groups of INFN ranges from the detector construction to functioning operations, including data-analysis. In particular, Frascati National Laboratories are the leaders in muon detection and reconstruction, having built a significant part of the detector and the related software.

This was a first visit and certainly won't be the last. Great wine, great quality food and very welcoming helpful staff.
It's ages since I last ate here - definitely won't be that long before the next visit!
It is a Friday night. In the snow. Minimal bus service. Here comes Tapa: 'We're open!' It's a siren song to the precipitation weary. We book, we eat, we imbibe. We order the usual numbers - the pan, fried aubergines, artichokes, the goats cheese brulee (with an angioplasty at a 50% discount), preso for el senor. And the rioja, of course. All of it is crisply but jocularly delivered. Eyes roll back into the head at each delectable bite. We are happy. Never change, o Tapa.
Everything about this restaurant is superb. The waiting staff are incredibly friendly, not to mention knowledgeable about the food they are serving you. The food is out of this world. We shared some chorizo in wine, some chicken in a spicy salsa and the most wonderfully simplistic, yet flavoursome chickpea stew. Not only was the food delicious, but it was excellent value for money too (unlike some places in Edinburgh). I would recommend Tapa to anyone that likes delicious food in an ambient setting.
Tapa is one of my favourite places to eat at the Shore, and I'm a regular visitor. I had booked the 'November deal' for a friend and I, which was excellent value for money. We started with sourdough bread and dips (delicious), and this was followed by a choice of 2 tapas per person, accompanied by salad, patatas bravas and aubergines. The choice of tapas was extensive, and everything was very tasty. The meal was rounded off with churros con chocolate. My friend, who lives in South Edinburgh, was a first time visitor, said she would most definitely return.
My son treated me to lunch at Tapa today. We had the vegetarian platter for two which was really tasty.I usually visit Tapa in the evening but was very impressed with the lunch set menu.Looking forward to my next visit.First class service from a very friendly staff.
I am a fairly regular visitor to Tapa and it never disappoints. We had booked the August Festival deal so enjoyed that along with sourdough bread with dips, and a couple of extra tapas dishes. Everything was delicious, particularly the manchego cheese infused pesto which was served with the sourdough bread, and the chargrilled chorizo with roasted yellow pepper sauce. The service is always good, and the staff welcoming and friendly. It won't be long before my next visit.

Thousands of UK environmental activists block London roads, police arrest 113
Activists on Monday chanted slogans and held signs that read "There is no Planet B" and "Extinction is Forever" at Marble Arch, Oxford Circus and Waterloo Bridge.
Demonstrators said protests could last at least a week. Police said roadblocks were due to continue night and day at each site.
The protests were organized by the British environmental group Extinction Rebellion and are to involve demonstrations in 33 countries around the world over the coming days.
Greenpeace Activists Determined To Disrupt BP
Climate-change protesters vow to disrupt London underground
Activists are renaming streets in the Netherlands after famous women. Welcome to Beyoncé Blvd.
Extinction Rebellion has warned its members that some of them could be arrested for taking part in non-violent civil disobedience.
The group is demanding the government declare a climate and ecological emergency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025 and create a citizen's assembly of members of the public to lead on decisions to address climate change.
The group also wrote to UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday outlining their demands and asking for face-to-face talks, warning that they will escalate their disruptive actions over the coming weeks unless the government acts.
"Make no mistake, people are already dying," the letter states. "In the majority world, indigenous communities are now on the brink of extinction. This crisis is only going to get worse … Prime minister, you cannot ignore this crisis any longer. We must act now."
Activists said they smashed the glass of a revolving door at the Royal Dutch building near the River Thames and caused more than 6,000 pounds worth of damage.
Police said 113 people have been arrested so far. "There have been 113 arrests in total, the majority of which are for breach of Section 14 Notice of the Public Order Act 1986 and obstruction of the highway," London police said.
The disruption follows similar action last November when thousands of protesters occupied five central London bridges. Police arrested 85 people that day.
Rowan McLaughlin, 47, a teacher, said this week's protests were more important than the huge pro and anti-Brexit protests in London recently.

Puente de Amistad (the friendship bridge) project is being headed up by contractor Tradeco in Mexico from la Ciudad Del Carmen to Isla Aquada will sit a bridge or causeway that is a 3200 meter long structure in the state of Campeche. Project design will be of the causeway construction starting at both ends of the islands working towards the middle to an eventual connection point to make one giant causeway for more convenient travel and accessibility between islands. Some techniques and specifications being used include driving casings in to drill out and fill up with caging concrete or reinforcement casings measured at 48 inch and 60 inch diameter. Steel casings are driven in four-twenty foot sections. A very common practice used in this project makes up for land that is otherwise in existent, creating a ramp by building up dirt filled areas to walk cranes and load equipment on the barges. ICE is the main source of equipment on this project. Tradeco is currently using a 66C Hydraulic vibratory hammer, a 44B Hydraulic vibratory hammer and a I-62 diesel hammer with offshore leads. As construction progresses 2 additional 66-80's will be used to help complete the project. La Puente de la Amistad project began in March 2013 at this point the foundation process will be completed in December and the estimated completion date of La Puente de Amis tad will be in late 2014.

Zomato defers new food safety policy to May 3, FSSAI agrees with proposed steps
ET reported on April 15 that changes to the restaurant aggregator's 'Severe Food Quality' rules - which were to take effect from April 18 - can "temporarily disable" online orders if consumers complain about a restaurant's food quality.
Apoorva Mittal
Ratna Bhushan
Zomato has decided to defer its new food hygiene and safety policy to May 3 amid the restaurant industry's concerns regarding its implementation by the Gurugram-based food-delivery platform.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), for its part, has supported the steps proposed by Zomato.
"This shows the importance of screening, approvals and processes undertaken by the FSSAI, and the faith the industry places in our audits and inspections," FSSAI chief executive Arun Singhal said.
A government official told ET that it would help in facilitating the policy as it will ensure better food quality and hygiene.
In an email sent to restaurants on Friday, Zomato has sought their feedback. "We seek feedback from all our restaurant partners and would like to understand from you how this framework can be strengthened so it can be in the best interest of all stakeholders involved," Zomato said in the email. ET has reviewed a copy of the email.
Zomato added that cases that would likely fit the proposed framework have been as rare as 0.001%.
"Please be assured that Zomato will work closely with all our restaurant partners to establish the genuineness of any such complaint received…The disablement will be in consultation with the restaurant management and will only be applicable till necessary remedial actions are undertaken and verified through an FSSAI-approved hygiene and safety auditor," the restaurant aggregator platform said.
The National Restaurants' Association of India (NRAI) is meanwhile expected to hold talks with the food delivery app next week to push for amendments to the newly introduced policy.
Overstepping its mandate
NRAI president Kabir Suri discussed the association's concerns with Zomato cofounder Mohit Gupta on Friday. The association, which represents over 500,000 restaurants across the country, is seeking to avoid unfair implementation of the policy during its meeting next week.
"While the intent of the policy is understandable, the implementation leaves a lot of grey areas and scope for misuse. Further, the action of delisting is draconian," Suri said in a statement. "We have initiated a dialogue with the Zomato team and conveyed our views. They will be meeting with us next week to resolve this in a better, more inclusive way, keeping all stakeholders in mind."
Restaurants allege that Zomato is overstepping its role as a food aggregator to check restaurants' food hygiene when FSSAI – as a statutory body – is already overseeing food safety and regulation across eateries.
"This is outside the jurisdiction of Zomato. They are an aggregator. Any issues that consumers may have about the quality of food has to be between the consumer and FSSAI. We, at the restaurant level, are equipped to resolve all consumer complaints," said Anjan Chatterjee, chairman of Speciality Restaurants, a listed entity that operates Mainland China and Oh! Calcutta.
The list of actionable complaints ranges from serving pre-packaged food items that have gone past their expiry dates to serving the wrong type of meat, presence of hazardous foreign objects in food like animal/animal parts or sharp and inedible objects. It also includes serving non-vegetarian food instead of vegetarian and other health hazards like fungus or rotten food.
NRAI said that the policy, a first-of-its-kind, was being introduced without consulting restaurants and allowed Zomato to exert an undue influence on eateries listed on its app.
Singhal of FSSAI said that the regulator's existing 'hygiene rating scheme' for hotels, restaurants and bakeries was voluntary.
Under the system, FSSAI has created a checklist that restaurants and hotels need to meet based on hygiene and sanitation standards in the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
The food business is audited based on the checklist and given a rating by a third-party audit agency empanelled by FSSAI.
A certificate-based on this rating is displayed for consumers at the premises. This is intended to inform consumers that the place has been inspected and certified for its hygiene and safety standards.
In 2017, Zomato introduced Food Hygiene Ratings where it sent "accredited third-party auditors" to conduct surprise physical food hygiene audits at participating restaurants.
These ratings were displayed next to the restaurant partner's name.
As of 2019, 10,000 restaurants had voluntarily participated in the programme, which is no longer active.
Zomato and NRAI have had a history of spats.
On multiple occasions, the restaurant body has protested several schemes of the food delivery app. In August 2019, 300 restaurants under NRAI launched a logout campaign and delisted themselves from the app.
Last year, NRAI launched an order-direct campaign to protest high commissions and alleged data masking by food aggregators Zomato and rival Swiggy.
Just ahead of Zomato's initial public offering last year, NRAI also filed a complaint with the Competition Commission of India against the online food ordering platforms, highlighting concerns such as bundling of services, data masking and exorbitant commissions.
Earlier this month, CCI ordered a probe into Zomato and Swiggy over alleged unfair pricing practices.

Forza Horizon 5 gets sign language support
Forza Horizon 5 will soon get support for the sign language through a free update incoming, thus allowing those who know the language in question to be able to follow the narrative elements, the dialogues and the indications through this new channel.
The update is scheduled forMarch 1, 2022, that is, tomorrow, and it will happen through a free patch to Forza Horizon 5. Through this introduction, support for American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) will be included in the game, during the cutscenes. The system includes short videos in which actors suffering from deafness or hearing impairments communicate through sign language what is said during the scenes of the game.
Obviously, since the language in question provides for the vision of a person framed half-length, so that you can clearly see the signs made, it is not a simple dynamic to implement in every moment of the game, therefore it should be inserted in the moments of detachment, when the shot switches to the "third person" for underline some narrative passages.
As reported by Michael Anthony, a software engineer suffering from deafness since childhood, "there are some narrative elements that we lose by following exclusively the subtitles", so this new solution should ensure a more complete understanding of the story within Forza Horizon 5 Obviously we are not dealing with a game that makes storytelling its main intent, but this could represent the beginning of a new integration in terms of accessibility to video games for a large community.
Forza Horizon 5 already stands out, however, for a good amount of options in terms of accessibility that guarantee a large number of players to be able to play without losing too much of the original experience.

In 2012 I graduated from Wimbledon College of Art where I studied Costume Interpretation. Here I gained a comprehensive knowledge of historical costume, beginning with a research project looking into the historical and social context of the evolution of costume in Western Europe, as well as gaining practical experience in corsetry and the making of bum rolls and pocket hoops to create period silhouettes.
Throughout my final year I created a range of different costumes, one of which was a Baroque Court Theatre Costume. This was exhibited at Hampton Court Palace, and subsequently sold to the costume company Past Pleasures.
My dissertation topic was costume within a carnival setting. This led me to the UK Centre for Carnival Arts, where I could learn about the history of carnival, and see the work of Colin Spalding first hand. I went on to create a Carnival costume of my own, based on one of his designs. This inspired me to travel to Cuba, where I attended the Carnival of Santiago de Cuba, which was incredibly insightful, and showed amazing use of recycled materials to create costumes that were amazingly detailed and extravagant.
I went on to do work experience at Nicola Killeen Textiles. My main role here was breaking down costumes for the production of Macbeth at Trafalgar Studios. I mainly worked with sand paper, cheese graters, a steel brush and paint. The process of aging costumes in this way produced fantastic results.
I then took part in the Tech week for Macbeth. I helped organise and label the costumes to go in each dressing room. I watched parts of the dress rehearsals and went out sourcing last minute items. I gained practical experience working within a theatre setting, and enjoyed seeing the complete selection of costumes coming together.
I have been a dresser for a number of productions including Blood Brothers, All Creatures Great and Small, Tis Pity She's a Whore, Pygmalion and Cambridge Arts Theatre's Christmas Pantomime Robin Hood. My costume maintenance role within these productions involved washing, ironing, steaming, dry cleaning and repairs. My role also involved lacing corsets, helping with zips, cufflinks and wigs, pre-setting, quick changes, assisting with props and accessories as well as keeping the Wardrobe department and quick change area tidy to ensure health and safety standards were met. I was on set throughout the Tech week of Pygmalion and Blood Brothers, which meant I was responsible for liaising with the cast to choreograph each quick change and to type up dressing notes for future dressers. For each show I also assisted with 'Get Out'; packing up costumes and accessories, loading them into the wardrobe, and ensuring dressing rooms were left clear. For this position teamwork, willingness to work unsociable hours and organisational skills are a must.
I was a Costume Assistant at Emma Jealouse Costumes. Here I helped to construct costumes for the musical Barnum. This involved hand and machine sewing, working to deadlines and working well within a team.


I miss this space but life is so busy right now. How are you peeps?
I was reading a famous blogger's post including the comments section. This blogger talked about her breastfeeding journey from Baby 1 till no 2. She was comparing both experiences where with no 1 it was breezy but no 2 she stopped early due to personal problems (which she mentioned in the post).
There's one visitor who left a comment talking about the benefits of mommy's milk et cetera et cetera which I believe the blogger already knew coz she did well with Baby 1. I think this visitor is rude to comment like that the fact that it was clearly mentioned the blogger had stopped the process months ago. What's your point actually?
Whatever parenting style you choose has nothing to do with other parents. Why do you have to snoop around everyone's life and shove all your parenting philosophy down their throat? These kinds of parents used to make my life so miserable at one point I hate myself for not able to achieve the standard of this holy parenting.
I wasn't able to breastfeed my baby which I admit due to my lack of experience as a young mother who was struggling with c-sec pain and a husband across the sea with a new baby who didn't know how to latch. I was so confused and tired. Thank God my depression level was Under control or post partum depression could be the end.
I struggled for a year pumping milk every two to three hours, cried almost everyday, I was in paiin and I was angry all the time. Ask my husband he knows.hahahahaahah one day I stopped. I unfollow many parents liddis on Facebook, blogs and left most motherhood groups. I keep a few and only share with the people around me whom I know won't judge. These people have different parenting style than me but never once I felt less worthy of being a parent.
Wait...this isn't the point. Apology.hahah my point is... Be respectful can you? Cheer each other because we are mothers. We want the best for our kids. I want the best for my kids.
Examples la based on my own experience having to face these kind of 'outstanding' parents.

Paham tak aku membebel ni?
Anyhoo, had my D&C or ERPOC yesterday. Basically means my womb has been cleaned.
Showed up at the hospital Emergency door sharply at 7am. Admission process was smooth. Already on the ward bed around 7.15.
Sakai-ing myself with the new surrounding, well it's a new hospital with very nice view ahahah.
I opted for 6 bedded room since it's a simple procedure. Apparently I was the only patient that day so I got that hugeeee room alll for myself. Privacy achieved!
Then around 8am, a nurse came to insert 2 pills down my hoo haa. to help to soften the cervix opening bla bla bla. I hate being 'seluk'. Seriously. Anyway, after a few minutes of embarassment being shoved with the pills while being watched by 2 other nurses, it's done.
An hour later I started to feel the period pain symptoms. Means the pills worked.
At 10am, I was pushed to the preparation area (again pardon the term). waited for almost 40minutes lying on the hard bed and freezing temperature. Period pain you cannot lie down on hard surface. sakit pinggang. I started to feel agitated.tossing on the bed.hahah one nurse noticed and explained to me my doctor would be late as there was an emergency with her other patient. ok la what to do right.
Later the anesthetist came to do background checking before he put me to sleep.
A funny doctor. He cracked me so I could forget the discomfort for a while. I'm allergic to pain killer. I dunno which type so he asked some more and finally conclude that i might be allergic to aspirin because i kehnot take Panadol activefast. normal Panadol can. Could be aspirin. Then he started explaining about morphin bla bla bla which I couldnt help but replaying the Power Rangers song in my head the whole time till I passed out in the operation theater. Mighty morphin power rangersss!!!
Anyway, 10.55AM finally I was brought to OT 1. The room damn cold i started coughing. the temperature ignited my asthma. but not for long. then the anesthetist did his magic and 5 seconds later i heard somebody called my name "Siti....Siti...."
Sent back to the ward where B's waiting. super dizzy and tried to sleep but the nurses kept coming to check BP la, sent food, asked for condition or medication.
I was so hungry by then (fasted since midnight) so I asked when can i eat. The nurse said try to drink water first if you dont vomit you can eat. So I drank a glass of water, no sign of puking, quickly gobbled the food.
I dont want to spend the night at the ward so I need to get strong again pronto!
Story short, my doctor came about 3.30 and I convinced her I'm well enough to go home. She said ok!
Honestly, I am super fine. I've had my sad moment losing this one few weeks back when I was first told by doctor that the baby's size is too small for its size. By then I already knew I had lost it so I am fine, really.
At the end of April, I dreamed of getting pregnant.
In that dream I just found out I was pregnant with another child.
Once it happened, when a few days the UPT test showed double lines.
Not sure to be ecstatic or what because I totally didn't expect to conceive THAT fast, almost 2 months after I removed implanon and my period cycle was still unstable.
A week after that, there was a gush of water coming out from my down under. Went to see a doctor but the doc didn't have the answer. A lot of senior colleagues assured me it was nothing to be worried about.
The water came 3times. Clear, odorless liquid. By the 3rd time it happened, I was having a bad cough. And this doctor, with a stern voice told me I should've gone to the hospital. I did go. But the O&G doctor was away. It was Friday.
That night I had another dream. I lost the baby. I didn't see the baby but I dreamed of having a miscarriage with the blood and all.
Anyhow, the scan was worrying. At least to me. The size didn't match the week I was supposed to be. I was in week 9 where the heartbeats should be easy to detect. There was a small dot, about 1.3cm (week 9 should be around 3cm) and there was nothing inside the circle. I compare the size to Minmin's scan at 9th week. He already showed hands at that age but this baby, nothing. dr Hayati set another appointment the following week to see the progress.
Went home, did what most of us like to do, google About our condition, trying to match the symptoms with those found on the Internet and scared the hell out of our lives.hahahahaha don't lie.
Googled about blighteD ovum and trying to sink with the reality.
Maybe I thought too much about it, I had another miscarriage dream that night.
I told B the next day, sort of preparing him mentally about what's coming our way coz based on my google research, there was almost zero hope for blighted ovum.
Sooooooo another week passed. Which is today.
I started having spotting down under since yesterday (Sunday) and today the bleeding started. Ok it sounds scary and like I'm dying but it's just bleeding and till now I'm just having regular cramps. Nothing serious.
. And the scan shows that the area around the circle has started to bleed. Which means no baby. Dr Hayati sets a DNC (dunno what it stands for but it is to clean the womb so nothing unnecessary remains in there which could lead to serious bleeding and hard to get pregnant bla bla bla.
It's a public holiday in Malacca today. Had more free time to waste on Facebook hahahah. Then I found one article about Caesarean Awareness. And apparently, April is the month !!!
Reading the article definitely brought back the memories when I had mine. Starting from the moment Dr. Ishaireen told me that I would need the surgery till I got home from the hospital. And also, my eyes somehow swell with tears because I feel so appreciated with the words used.
Maybe because, I did hear some moms who could use their own body to pop their baby (vaginal birth) said moms who didn't (csection ) weren't real moms coz we didn't feel the pain bla bla bla bla. I was deeply offended at that time. Hahaha hormonal I guess.
Being prepped for a c-section is not a walk through the park. Many times, a mother's partner is not allowed in the OR until after the epidural has been administered and everyone has "taken their place." This means that while doctors and nurses move about, readying the operating room for delivery (maybe talking about their lunch or what movie they saw over the weekend) a strong pregnant mama sits on a cold operating table considering what lies before her - often scared and often feeling very alone.
20months after the procedure, I still can't do sit-up. I still can't get up from lying down without having to turn to the side first. I still can't do squat with any heavy weight. The area will strain and eventually cause me pain. Other than that, I can longer sneeze loudly.hahahahaha well, good for a change right?
Think about a woman who is being told she is not permitted to use her own body to give birth. Not because she can't, she is not allowed"
A C-Sec definitely wasn't my birth plan. But the condition didn't permit to have a normal delivery. A friend asked why didn't I try to be induced first. Well, it's my instinct that drove me. Minmin was big, womb fluid was depleting and he hadn't engaged. So I decided on my own after the doc professional advice to go for csection.
So, here to all mothers who were brave and strong to endure the procedure going under the knives and be cut open to bring a new life to the world!
So... after discussion with le hub, I decided to go for Implanon. Why? Less hassle. And one thing, it doesnt disturb milk production, which is the main advantage that drew my attention. I did a little research for the cost, side effects, where to get, how to get basically everything and got the minor surgery (cheh!) a week after confinement ended.
2. Cost: RM320 in 2013. Heard the price has gone up this year. The cheapest I could find. Private clinics charge more.
3. The procedure: Inject anesthetic, then insert that thanggg. The size is as big as a match stick.
4. Expired after 3 years.
5. The side effects: There are many. But am gonna tell the effects that I kena ok.
irregular period. Started coming after Minmin was 8months old (delay could be due to BF). BUTTTTTTTTTTTT the length of the cycle drove me crazy. Each cycle lasted for a couple of months. Every timeeeee! Not heavy flow, more like spotting but still... rimas mak ok!
Weight gain. Erm... actually not sure whether this is the side effect but i need something to blame.hahaha I started eating healthy and going to gym but no changes. except lost 1kg. so really guys, i need to blame this implanon.
So, due to the first side effect, I decided to remove this susuk last week. I really cannot tahan with the long menses period. So I took it out at a private clinic. If you are from Melaka and intend to remove yours, can go to KLINIK MAIZA, Cheng. Charged only RM40. Less than 5 minutes all's done! But of course, need to make appointment first ok.
So, that's my honest testimonial about implanon. Not much but honest. cewah!
Hope this post helps you in any way it can.
p/s pardon all the grammar error. Not feeling like a teacher tonight. Feeling like me.
This by far the longest time I feel relax since forever.haha Alhamdulillah for this blessing.
I can just pray for this good feeling to continue. Be positive everyone!!
This is one fundamental concept I learn this new year. There was so much fuss on my Fb timeline about this expose vs expose in Singapore. Not gonna talk about the expose but I was curios why there are so much hatred against this lady. So I did a little research. Well, useless coz it doesnt concern me but hey,I was curious.
Anyhoo, that's karma, or whatever concept you believe. Things you do today might turn back at you, to hurt you or worse your loved ones. Unless it's a good one.
Since I become a mother, I am really scared anything bad or harmful happen to Minmin. Nauzubillah...I hope he will always be under the blessing around the people who love him.
So, let's be a better person today. Whenever you feel like bashing someone on social media like FB, twitter, blog, stop and reflect. We are not perfect. They arent too.
Be nice. One day it could be our turn.
This is so true. We could realize it, but so much later after endless of reflections.
Be nice. A strict reminder, to myself!

NewCold and the Dutch Sliding Federation Collaboration
NewCold is proud sponsor of the Dutch Sliding Federation. You might wonder which sliding disciplines are under this collaboration?
Below you'll find a breakdown of all the sliding disciplines. Enjoy!
Skeleton is a winter sliding sport in which a person rides a small sled, known as a skeleton bobsled (or -sleigh), down a frozen track while lying face down and head-first . The sport and the sled may have been named from the bony appearance of the sled.
Kimberley Bos
Bobsledding, also called bobsleighing, the sport of sliding down an ice-covered natural or artificial incline on a four-runner sled, called a bobsled, bobsleigh, or bob, that carries either two or four persons. 1 Pilot in both disciplines who drives the sled down the track. The other athletes in the sled are known as breakman/pusher who are responsible for the first acceleration during a slide.
The 4-men bobsleigh
As the name suggests, there is one athlete per bobsled, and it's all on them to run, push, steer and brake their way down the winding ice track. This modern twist on a classic sport first appeared at the Winter Youth Olympics at Lillehammer 2016.
Karlien Sleper in the monobob
A luge is a small one- or two-person sled on which one sleds supine and feet-first. A luger steers by using the calf muscles to flex the sled's runners or by exerting opposite shoulder pressure to the seat.
Daria Orbatov
Further explained
The difference between all the other named sports and luge is that they have different federations. Skeleton and Bobsleigh being part of the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation(IBSF). Luge on the other hand is under the International Luge Federation (FIL). We will keep you informed about all the must know facts and stories of all the athletes and their developments.
A journey towards the 2022 Olympics in Beijing has officially started. One of which NewCold is now part of as well!
Stay tuned for more…….

This card is a combination of watercoloring and adding extra distress ink with a blending tool. I just love the soft and tender result.
Cette carte est une combinaison de peinture à l'aquarelle et un ajout d'encres Distress avec un blending tool. J'adore le résultat qui est doux et tendre.
Mariette beautiful blending of the two mediums and the result is gorgeous!! Very interesting sentiment too!!
Gorgeous card! Love the mix of watercolouring and sponging.
