AIPWA Zonal Workshop Held at Samastipur
CAMPAIGNS AND STRUGGLES
APIWA Workshop
AIPWA activists from UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha attended a Zonal Workshop at Samastipur, Bihar on 8-9 July 2017, in which they discussed three topics – 'Hindutva and the Women's Movement', 'A Marxist Approach to Women's Liberation', and 'Women's Movement and the Law in India'. The participants in the workshop held group discussions on a range of commonly-faced questions relating to the Hindutva hate-campaign and widespread patriarchal ideas. A film 'Salt of the Earth' was screened, which also contributed to discussions on the need to make the question of social reproductive work central to trade union struggle, Left movements as well as the women's movement.
The workshop was due to have been held at the Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, PUSA, Samastipur, which recently became a Central University. But the newly appointed Vice Chancellor of the University, at the very last minute, denied permission to AIPWA to hold the workshop, saying that he could not allow 'dangerous women like Kavita Krishnan (AIPWA Secretary)' to come to the campus. The remarkable efforts of the AIPWA unit of Samastipur ensured that the workshop was nevertheless held successfully at another venue. But the participants of the workshop taught the misogynist VC a lesson by holding a spirited protest march against him and burning his effigy. AIPWA activists said it was a shame that the BJP Central Government was appointing such RSS elements as Vice Chancellors of Universities, who are afraid of the women's rights movement and brand its activists as 'dangerous'. Indeed, AIPWA activists aim to pose the gravest danger to custodians of patriarchy, caste and gender discrimination, and violence against women.

The shift in technology and move to the cloud is not like any other in our lifetime, and the speed of innovation is happening much faster than anyone anticipated. Cloud is the new normal. Every industry and all levels of government—including the U. S. federal government—are utilizing the cloud for their most complex, innovative, and mission-critical projects.
When a government agency selects a commercial cloud service provider, they are selecting a partner to provide a springboard for good government. Today, the cloud is not just providing agencies with infrastructure solutions, but is laying the groundwork so that the government can tap into true innovation. It provides a connection to some of the most innovative, cloud-focused Systems Integrators (SIs) and the most agile startups in Silicon Valley and other hubs of innovation, and access to the most cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning—all while employing best-in-class security.
We've seen our government customers use the cloud as a springboard to do everything from detecting cyber threats to enhancing the performance of their combat networks to analyzing and storing data for use in tactical warfare.
To help ensure our customers are able to maximize the advantages of the cloud, AWS has worked with partner organizations since its inception. From well-known players like Deloitte, Accenture, Booz Allen, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Leidos, to the partners who have built offerings from scratch on top of AWS like Novetta, DataBricks, ECS/InfoReliance, REAN Cloud, c3IoT, Telos, Heroku, Sonian, and Rightscale, the AWS Partner Network (APN) includes tens of thousands of partners around the world.
These partners are finding new ways to help both civilian and defense agencies at every stage of the cloud adoption journey, from migrating workloads to building entirely new applications.
For example, when the U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) sought a solution to comb through reams of cyber data to detect, assess, and mitigate cybersecurity threats, the agency turned to APN partner Enlighten IT Consulting (EITC). The company developed a Big Data Platform (BDP) for ARCYBER that is scalable and capable of ingesting, storing, and visualizing multiple petabytes of security data. As a result, the Army was able to process over 500 terabytes of data, and saw a 500 percent increase in the number of countermeasures developed and deployed on its network. By utilizing an AWS partner, the U.S. Army is not only getting the best solution for their data combing needs, but they also have access to a team that is continuously refreshing back-end technology, so government developers are always working with the latest BDP release, and spending their valuable time on mission-critical work.
In another case, APN Partner Raven Solutions led the transition to the cloud for the Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Fleet and Family Readiness (N9) program to deliver N9 information and services to regionally constituent sailors and families. Prior to the CNIC N9 GovCloud, N9 information was distributed via a large number of disjointed, informal, and regionally-managed websites and WordPress blogs. These sites, often hosted in foreign nations and managed by installation-level IT staff, were the target of cyber attacks. By deploying CNIC N9 GovCloud on AWS GovCloud (US), the U.S. Navy was able to significantly reduce overall costs, decrease investment in hardware, increase security by reducing network attack surface, and centralize information and data governance.
From startups to SIs, agencies get access to the best and most innovative companies through the APN.
Another shift we've seen from our government customers is the desire to leverage the most cutting-edge technology—in the same way that our commercial enterprise customers do. There is a growing interest in government to leverage AI and machine learning capabilities, which require the support of a hyperscale cloud. With hyperscale cloud supporting the federal government, agencies can deploy solutions today with the confidence that their resources will scale with the increasing demands of their missions tomorrow.
Former Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work said recently that AI and machine learning are essential to strengthening and increasing the operational tempo of DoD battle networks. But as Work said as reported by National Defense Magazine, all of that data needs to be "triaged, annotated, and stored somewhere for discoverability and learning. The way we will provide that data to them and provide access to that data is through the cloud." AWS understands this need goes all the way to the tactical edge, so with AWS Snowball and AWS Snowball Edge, data can be securely accessed and used even in the most austere and harshest environments.
With the launch of the AWS Secret Region in November, AWS became the only cloud service provider that offers solutions at every data classification level – including Unclassified, Sensitive, Secret, and Top Secret – and the only hyperscale cloud provider with authorizations at all FISMA levels and DoD Impact Levels. The AWS Secret Region is available to the DoD, the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), and other federal customers with appropriate Secret-level network access. The DoD can buy AWS cloud services through contract vehicles, including the Army Cloud Computing Enterprise Transformation (ACCENT) Blanket Purchase Agreement, which is now available DoD-wide.
Agencies across government can have the confidence to use the cloud for mission-critical workloads and have the ability to scale quickly with each new mission, no matter the data classification.
Federal agencies are already on a path to digital transformation that will reshape how the government does business and serves citizens. AWS and our partners are ready to help.
Check back soon for more examples of how the evolution of cloud technology is helping to modernize IT in support of good government.

Review: Post Malone – August 26th
By Fashionably Early Staff
Post Malone has been a huge figure in the new wave of hip hop since the release of his hit "White Iverson". When "White Iverson" dropped it quickly became an anthem of sorts being played everywhere especially on the radio and in the clubs. Since then, fans have been patiently waiting some time now for Post to release his debut tape. Now that August 26th is here, some listeners are beginning to get concerned with the way he only seems to be able to make music about the same topics, just in different manners. While we are still beyond intrigued with Malone's talent and the way he can work a melody, it's obvious that there are still some areas for improvement.
August 26th opens up with "Never Understand", a new track composed of a solid beat, some verses where Post spends time flowing about the lifestyle he lives, and drops a hook that will be stuck in your head the rest of the day. Hook writing is an area of Malone's music where he has continuously seen success. Whether we are talking about the tracks released prior to August 26th, or the tape's first track "Never Understand", or even other cuts from the tape, the common denominator is the instantly-captivating hooks. Post's hooks are the definition of the word. Each track he releases can almost always be counted on to come with a silky smooth chorus. "Never Understand" certainly made for an interesting opening track, that is undeniable. However, other songs off the tape such as "40 Funk" and "Git Wit U" that have the same recurring theme of getting intoxicated through drugs, booze, and sleeping with various women, are not necessarily songs we did not enjoy, but they do start to create a feeling or redundancy. This redundancy leads fans and listeners in general to wonder if Malone's lyrical depth has peaked.
One track that fans seem to really be enjoying, but when actually looked at under a microscope could almost be described as disappointing, is "Monte". "Monte" is somewhat of a pseudo-sequel or form of follow up to "White Iverson". The track's hook features several bars where Post lets listeners know that he "feels like Monte", which we assume is a reference to NBA star Monta Ellis. At first listen, this track feels like one of the best on the tape. After a few plays though, even this begins to feel watered down – especially once Lil Yachty hops on the beat and lays down what could be considered as one of the better verses on the project. Two other big features came from 2 Chainz and Jeremih. 2 Chainz assisted with the second track "Money Made Me Do It", which also serves as a chance for Post to pay his respects to Bankroll Fresh on another hook he can take right to the bank. Jeremih jumps on the fifth track "Fuck", which is one for the ladies that also features some of Post's best work on the tape.
As a whole, August 26th was not a failure by any means. That being said, some could also question how much of a success Post's mixtape debut actually was. While the project definitely contains songs that listeners can vibe too and sing along with, that is about as much as it does contain. Malone does a great job when it comes to making tracks regarding his drug usage and ability to pull women as he builds his buzz, and he is responsible for cooking up some of the catchiest hooks coming out. There is just only so many ways to talk about the same topics before the become redundant, which is our concern with the project. Sure we would have loved to hear Post go a little harder on some tracks, but our issue was with the repetitive feeling the project gave off from track to track. Although, we are also aware of and open to the idea that Malone may not need to have more depth within his lyrics; especially in today's music scene with the talent he has already. The young Texas native has made incredible strides in his career thus far, and built himself up a loyal fan base with his style of music. The fact alone that he has this large following of loyal listeners who don't seemed phased at all by the lyrical depth but rather captivated with Post's ability to work a melody could be all the emcee needs. For now the only thing to do is wait and watch how the tape is continued to be perceived.
Takeaway: Post Malone demonstrates more than ever how talented he is when it comes to cooking up hooks; as well as writing about drugs, booze, and women on his mixtape debut August 26th. However, it only takes a couple listens before the tape begins to feel redundant. Thus creating the question on whether Post Malone can continue to ride the wave his music talents have provided, or if fans will begin to tire of each release seeming to be very similar in theme.

Q: Google charts remove array from inside the main array of data I have the following script:
  google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
  google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
  function drawChart() {
    var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
      ['Year', 'Sales', 'Expenses'],
      ['2004',  1000,      400],
      ['2005',  1170,      460],
      ['2006',  660,       1120],
      ['2007',  1030,      540],
      ['2009',  1030,      540],
      ['2011',  1,      677]
    ]);

    var options = {
      title: 'Company Performance',
      curveType: 'function',
      legend: { position: 'bottom' }
    };

    var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
    chart.draw(data, options);

    function swicthGraphType(){
      $("input[type='radio']").click(function(){

        var thisValue = $(this).attr("data-lineType");

        console.log(data.Ad[0]);

        if(thisValue == ""){
          options.curveType = '';
        }
        if(thisValue == "function"){
          options.curveType = 'function';
        }

        chart.draw(data, options);

      });
    }

     swicthGraphType();

  }

I would like to create a click function which removes temporally one of the arrays for example:
data.Ad[0]

and put it back in the graph when I want. Basically I would need a function which I can use to show what I need to see in the graph

A: Solution A:
Add a array variable var blackList = [],
write a filter function, function dataFilter() {}, which loop each element of your data, if it's not in the black list, then add it to a new array, finally, return the new array.
then use the new array to fill your chart instead of you original data.
you modify the black list variable, to decide which to filter or not.
Solution B (base on A):
Use object instead of array for black list:
If you think modify the black list as an array is not easy, then you can create the black list as an object, use properties of object to store your black list, the name of property is year e.g. 2006, the value of property is your data of that year.
Add/override a black list element: blackList[2006] = ['2006', 660, 1120];
Read/detect a black list element: blackList[2006]
Delete a black listelement: delete blackList[2006]

Can a client terminate a contract "for convenience?"
On behalf of Smith Bigman Brock posted in business litigation on Friday, November 23, 2018.
Much of the stability of your business in Daytona Beach comes from the confidence in knowing that your clients cannot simply walk away from your contractual agreements. If they do want to cancel a contract, they typically need to have cause to do so. Yet are there exceptions to this rule?
Private companies might also try and cite convenience for terminating a contract with you. Such a privilege, however, is only afforded to them if it is granted in the terms of your contract.
So what can you recover when a client terminates your contract for convenience? The law allows you to collect whatever is due for the work that you have thus far done, as well as whatever is needed to cover the costs of you ending your services. You can try to go after the company or agency for breach of contract, yet to succeed in doing so, you typically need to prove that it never intended to fulfill the terms of the initial contract, and thus negotiated with you in bad faith.


Happy employees work hard– and smart. They make sure that every task they accomplish is done with their best efforts.
They enjoy being productive. They inspire and encourage their colleagues to do the same.
They spread happy, positive vibes all around the workplace and these happy, positive vibes can be very contagious.
What employer wouldn't want that? Happy, smart, productive, and loyal employees who actually love what they do for the company, and also dream to see the business grow bigger day by day? No wonder why employee happiness is increasingly becoming a top priority for many companies nowadays.
That's why many of the biggest companies bandy about the concept of work-life balance. Sadly, not everyone actually makes the effort to have this happen.
It's something certainly worth investing in as happy employees are more productive, more creative, and likely to stay longer. That's why we've compiled seven ways you can do this today.
Your employees tend to take their cues from you when it comes to their attitude at work– because you're the boss, after all. If you approach them with near-perpetual seriousness, that's the same attitude they're going to carry around the workplace and towards their colleagues as well.
Of course, this doesn't mean you have to start goofing around and being a company clown. Being open about your own learning moments and being able to laugh at yourself not only lightens the mood, but also sets a good example for everyone to follow.
2. People Need to Laugh!
Many people think that being totally serious means everyone is working to be productive. Many times, overly formal atmosphere can be very oppressive and highly stressful.
It often helps to inject a bit of a break from the stressors to get people unwound. Lighten up! Do something different out of the blue just to break the ice, have a fun and engaging team building activity and get everyone involved.
Organising the Alsco's first aid training for employees is one cool way to do it. It stands out, will most likely be unexpected, and even teaches important life skills.
Ask them what they love about their job and what they don't. Be attentive and help provide solutions if necessary. Make sure you also emphasize a truly open-door policy so they can vent and be honest.
5. Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
Small or big achievements, successes, birthdays–these are the things that your employees love to celebrate. Why not be a part of it a bit more?
Splurge for the snacks for little celebrations, organize a monthly event for celebrants, take them out for drinks when the success is particularly great. You make them feel that you care in this way and keep them happy.
Opening dialogues is a good way to go. Another way is to promote team pride with Alsco uniform rentals. We can provide a beautiful, personalized look for your teams to keep them united.
Proper hygiene and cleanliness also go a long way towards employee happiness. No employee would enjoy coming into an office that isn't properly clean and reeks of dust and dirt. Bacteria in the workplace can get employees sick and this definitely affects their mood to go to work.
That is why cleanliness in the office should never be taken for granted. With Fresh & Clean, you have many sanitation options that make sure your office is fresh and conducive to happy employees.
Alsco has been one of the most reliable names when it comes to quality cost-effective commercial services. We provide highly-customizable services for businesses across here.
If you're looking for ways to get things done better, call us today. Our friendly customer service representatives are more than happy to help you out!


Found a very interesting article today on Allusiness.com concerning why companies have not been faster to implement Social CRM opportunities (Social CRM is using networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter in place of traditional phone lines). The article basically blames the recession for thwarting innovation and therefore acceptance of Social CRM techniques.
Not sure if this is the reason or not, but we are sure that customers at most companies do not find the customer service they are receiving to be acceptable... just look at the charts on the http://www.customerservicescoreboard.com/ home page!


British-Dutch oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell published its Annual Report for 2018 last week in which it also revealed the company's first carbon emissions reduction target of between 2-3% by 2021.
Fossil fuel-driven companies like Shell have been repeatedly in the news of late as, one after another, they all announce variations on promises to reduce carbon emissions or align their businesses with the Paris Agreement. In the past few months Shell has been joined by BP and Chevron, which have all bowed to investor pressure to align their businesses with the Paris Agreement.
Shell has been making significant headway around its December commitment to implement short-term Net Carbon Footprint targets in support of its longer-term ambition to reduce its Net Carbon Footprint associated with its energy products in step with society's push to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. Specifically, Shell is aiming to reduce its Net Carbon Footprint by around 20% by 2035 and by around 50% by 2050. In support of this, Shell will set Net Carbon Footprint targets from 2020 for shorter-term periods of three to five years, with a new target to be set each year for the next three- or five-year period.
Importantly, Shell has also promised to link its energy transition to long-term remuneration for its executives. Specifically, the targets will be linked to the remuneration of approximately 150 executives this year, and then expanded to 16,000 employees in 2020.
As part of its Annual Report 2018, Shell laid out its first short-term Net Carbon Footprint target — a 2021 target to reduce its footprint by 2% to 3% below the company's 2016 Net Carbon Footprint of 79 grams of CO2-equivalent per megajoule.
Put another way, Shell's carbon emissions targets cover Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, whereas competitors such as BP and Total which have also laid out carbon emissions reduction targets have both chosen not to include Scope 3 emissions — those emissions generated by consumers of their product.
Shell's December commitment was made in partnership with a leadership group of institutional investors on behalf of the global investor initiative Climate Action 100+, an investor-led initiative with over $33 trillion in assets under management.


Daycab and construction trucks behave differently than highway tractors in the used commercial truck market, say analysts at NADA Used Car Guide, a division of J.D. Power and Associates. The NADA report says that last year the typical used daycab vehicle sold at retail when it was just over 100 months old and had 425,000 miles.
This means daycabs are 28 months older with 65,000 fewer miles than the typical sleeper tractor. Original owners hold on to daycabs longer than sleepers, and they accumulate fewer miles per year.
Adjusted for mileage, 3- to 5-year-old daycabs sold for an average of 8% less money than their sleeper counterparts, all else being equal, said Chris Visser, senior commercial truck analyst at NADA Used Car Guide.
Like highway tractors, daycabs have become more plentiful, which has, or will, reduce prices for buyers. On the other hand, demand also seems somewhat less.
"The devaluation in the wholesale channel has not yet fully carried over to the retail channel," Visser said. "We expect this price difference to shrink going forward due to the widening supply gap between sleepers and daycabs."
The January report summed up the market performance of construction trucks during 2015 as being very similar to their run in 2014. On average, the typical construction truck sold in 2015 was 128 months old and had just over 250,000 miles.
Compared to 2014, trucks sold were 8 months newer and had about 35,000 fewer miles. Universal average pricing was nearly identical, at just over $63,000 in both years. Overall, there were about 7% fewer construction trucks sold in 2015 than 2014.
Trucks of model year 2007 saw the highest sales volume in both periods, mainly because the period was the last high-build year before the recession. Availability of newer trucks improved in 2015, with the 2009 and 2010 model years seeing the most notable increase year over year.
This increased supply resulted in notable price erosion for 6- and 7-year-old trucks. The average 6-year-old construction truck in 2015 brought 6.6% less money compared to 2014, while the average 7-year-old unit brought 7.4% less.
The report concludes availability of newer trucks should continue to improve, as the higher-build 2012 and 2013 model years continue to return to the secondary market in greater numbers. Demand for construction trucks by sector should run slightly behind 2015 over the next few quarters due to slowing economic conditions.

Happy birthday Colleen!🎶🎶🎶 How fun to be seeing the world on your birthday. Rome sounds wonderful! 🏛 The photos are fab!!!


I recently had the pleasure of photographing Sneha and Heemesh Seth's amazing family. Our shoot started out with just Sneha, Heemesh, and their 2 young daughters. What made this shoot extra special is as we progressed, more family members were able to show up, and soon we had multiple generations of their family taking part. It was great to get to see the young girls interact with their grandparents, and them taking so much joy in the experience. Here are a few photos from the shoot. Enjoy!
I would also like to thank Sneha especially, because she has referred more friends to me than anyone I have ever photographed!


1. Watch TV on your mirrored cabinet.
As you're brushing your teeth or applying makeup, catch the traffic report or a recap of last night's game on a TV integrated into your mirrored cabinet. While some cabinets have screens installed inside the cabinet itself, an in-mirror design lets you make full use of storage.
This cool new gadget makes singing in the shower even better. The KOHLER Moxie showerhead + wireless speaker is the first of its kind to combine the delivery of water and music. It installs the same as a standard showerhead and syncs with your Bluetooth-enabled devices to stream music or your favorite podcast right into the shower for up to seven hours of play per charge. And when shower time is up, the magnetic wireless speaker can come with you, whether it's elsewhere in the bathroom, the patio or the park. Kohler also sells colored speakers separately, making it easy for everyone in the family to have their own.
3. Immerse yourself in sound.
After a long day or intense workout, a bath soak can relieve stress and soothe muscles. Couple warm water with sound therapy and you take relaxation to a new level. VibrAcoustic hydro-therapy, offered on six Kohler bathtub lines, captures the power of sound waves with four original music compositions that either slow your breathing and heart rate, or invigorate and rev you up for the day ahead. The premium sound quality from the bath actually allows it to double as an audio source, whether you play music from your MP3 player through an auxiliary cable or stream from your Bluetooth-enabled device.
4. Save water with a push of a button.
Making your bathroom smarter can also help you be smarter about water conservation. Digital showering systems control temperature and flow with a digital interface, which eliminates the need for manual valves and gives your shower a sleek, modern look. With conservation settings such as a pause feature and shower timer, it's easy to save one of the earth's most precious resources without sacrificing performance.

Capacity Development: A Key Need for Global Ocean Observing Systems I Posters
Session ID#: 85050
Oceanography is a global science with an obvious need for a global network of oceanographers, decision-makers, and industry partners, who work together to define requirements for ocean observing, observe and interpret ocean processes in regional contexts, and use the data / information in wise decision-making for conservation and wise and sustainable use of resources. Yet many coastal countries, especially SIDS (small island developing states) and other developing countries, still have limited numbers of oceanographers and other oceanography-aware stakeholders, limited oceanographic infrastructure, and limited means to take action on oceanographic information.
Building upon a related session that we will lead in OceanObs'19, we strive to build a strategy that works towards improving oceanographic capacity and research/monitoring infrastructure for the decade ahead, which has been designated by the United Nations as a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The strategy may emphasize SIDS and other developing countries, but should be global in outlook, and should include recommendations for coordinating separate efforts. Young researchers and educators are expected to play an important role in developing this strategy and implementing its recommendations. In support of this larger goal, we seek presentations that focus on advancing a global oceanography capacity strategy, designed to solve practical problems. Presentations can focus on strategies for oceanographic capacity development, integration of disparate strategies, global and regional observing and modeling systems, and other related topics.
