Use the science of motivation with the power of game design to unlock motivation and drive progress in your organisation. There are two conventional ways to approach motivation: set goals and try to change attitudes and beliefs (which takes a lot of personalised effort); or develop incentives and rewards to inspire effort (which takes a lot of money). This book shows you how to take a third new approach – designing the work itself to be inherently motivating. Combining the best elements of three distinct fields—motivational science, game design, and agile management—this book shows you how to positively influence behaviour through better work and project design. This game changing book: Gives you a refreshing science-based approach to the classic challenge of motivation in the workplace Is ideal for any leader or manager looking to take their workplace culture in a new direction Includes practical advice for creating highly productive, motivated and innovative teams Is written by a motivation strategy and design expert who consults on leadership and change management to a wide range of clients – from the executives of multinational organisations, through to the directors of switched-on startups. The Game Changer will show you how to unlock creative, productive and collaborative work. It is the perfect resource for forward-thinking leaders in organisations and teams focused on crafting a work culture that gets the best out of their people.

Team sports like football, basketball, soccer, and rugby are hugely popular the world over, on both college and professional levels, and such popularity means that they are big business. Very big. Broadcasting rights alone bring in billions: ESPN paid $5.6 billion to broadcast college football playoffs for twelve years; Turner Sports/CBS shelled out $10.4 billion to show the national college basketball tournament through 2024; and the most recent NBA TV deal came in at a cool $26.4 billion. As the rewards for winning have increased, it's no surprise that sports team budgets have followed suit. Sure, the athletic program at the University of Texas brought in $161 million last year, but the Longhorns also spent $154 million over the same period. Fifteen other college athletics program also racked up over $100 million in annual expenses. But that's child's play compared to the outgoings at the world's most valuable soccer team, Manchester United, which spent more than $500 million in 2015. The trouble is that all this spending often fails to yield better results. Teams in all sports have tried just about every gimmick to "hack" their way to better performance. But as they've gotten stuck in stats, mired in backroom politics, and diverted by the facilities arms race, many have lost sight of what should've been their primary focus all along: the game itself. In Game Changer, Fergus Connolly shows how to improve performance with evidence-based analysis and athlete-focused training. Through his unprecedented experiences with teams in professional football, basketball, rugby, soccer, Aussie Rules, and Gaelic football, as well as with elite military units, Connolly has discovered how to break down the common elements in all sports to their basic components so that each moment of any game can be better analyzed, whether you're a player or a coach. The lessons of game day then can be used to create valuable learning experiences in training, evaluate the quality of your team's performance, and home in on what's working and what isn't. Game Changer also shows you how to expand training focus from players' physical qualities to also advance athletes technically, tactically, and psychologically. His TTPP Model not only helps players continually progress but also stops treating them like a disposable commodity and instead prioritizes athlete health. Bringing together the latest evidence-based practices and lessons from business, psychology, biology, and many other fields, Game Changer is the first book of its kind that helps coaches, athletes, and casual fans: • Create a cohesive game plan that improves performance through defined objectives, strategies, and tactics • Put statistical analysis and technology into context so teams can bypass the hype and get meaningful results • Identify dominant qualities to maximize during training and limiting factors to improve • Create realistic, immersive learning experiences for individual players and the entire team that deliver defined outcomes • Structure player development with a new, holistic model that puts athlete health first and helps reduce the chance of injury and burnout • Balance training load so that all players are fresh and ready to play at their best in competition • Rethink coaching and organizational leadership and enhance communication, group dynamics, and player interaction • Create a winning team culture

Over the last several decades, one of the most frustrating problems facing bowlers who are looking to get better at the sport has been the lack of a simple, universally accepted system that works for everyone. Enter Mark Baker and his revolutionary approach to coaching -- an approach that has made him the most sought-after bowling coach in the world.

"A timely, speculative thought experiment in perspective, privilege, and identity." —Kirkus "The conceit behind Shusterman's latest is truly unique. While it exhibits the author's usual storytelling aplomb, it also manages to delve into more serious and timely subject matter, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Despite these heavy topics, the story still moves at a lively pace and, thanks to a zany sci-fi twist, manages to pack in a few laughs as well." —Booklist All it takes is one hit on the football field, and suddenly Ash's life doesn't look quite the way he remembers it. Impossible though it seems, he's been hit into another dimension—and keeps on bouncing through worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own. The changes start small, but they quickly spiral out of control as Ash slides into universes where he has everything he's ever wanted, universes where society is stuck in the past…universes where he finds himself looking at life through entirely different eyes. And if he isn't careful, the world he's learning to see more clearly could blink out of existence… This high-concept novel from the National Book Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series tackles the most urgent themes of our time, making this a must-buy for readers who are starting to ask big questions about their own role in the universe.

The bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet answers the question, "How can I kick more ass at life?" by culling the wisdom of world-class thought leaders, maverick scientists, and disruptive entrepreneurs to provide proven techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter. When Dave Asprey started his Bulletproof Radio podcast more than five years ago, he sought out influencers in an array of disciplines, from biochemists toiling in unknown laboratories to business leaders changing the world to mediation masters discovering inner peace. His guests were some of the top performing humans in the world, people who had changed their areas of study or even pioneered entirely new fields. Dave wanted to know: What did they have in common? What mattered most to them? What made them so successful—and what made them tick? At the end of each interview, Dave asked the same question: "What are your top three recommendations for people who want to perform better at being human?" After performing a statistical analysis of the answers, he found that the wisdom gleaned from these highly successful people could be distilled into three main objectives: finding ways to become smarter, faster, and happier. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave's years-long immersion in these conversations, offering 46 science-backed, high performance "laws" that are a virtual playbook for how to get better at life. With anecdotes from game changers like Dr. Daniel Amen, Gabby Bernstein, Dr. David Perlmutter, Arianna Huffington, Esther Perel, and Tim Ferris as well as examples from Dave's own life, Game Changers offers readers practical advice they can put into action to reap immediate rewards. From taming fear and anxiety to making better decisions, establishing high-performance habits, and practicing gratitude and mindfulness, Dave brings together the wisdom of today's game-changers to help everyone kick more ass at life.

How has technology challenged the notion of unadulterated athletic performance? We like to think of sports as elemental: strong bodies trained to overcome height, weight, distance; the thrill of earned victory or the agony of defeat in a contest decided on a level playing field. But in Game Changer, Rayvon Fouché argues that sports have been radically shaped by an explosion of scientific and technological advances in materials, training, nutrition, and medicine dedicated to making athletes stronger and faster. Technoscience, as Fouché dubs it, increasingly gives the edge (however slight) to the athlete with the latest gear, the most advanced training equipment, or the performance-enhancing drugs that are hardest to detect. In this revealing book, Fouché examines a variety of sports paraphernalia and enhancements, from fast suits, athletic shoes, and racing bicycles to basketballs and prosthetic limbs. He also takes a hard look at gender verification testing, direct drug testing, and the athlete biological passport in an attempt to understand the evolving place of technoscience across sport. In this book, Fouché: • Examines the relationship among sport, science, and technology • Considers what is at stake in defining sporting culture by its scientific knowledge and technology • Provides readers and students with an informative and engagingly written study Focusing on well-known athletes, including Michael Phelps, Oscar Pistorius, Caster Semenya, Usain Bolt, and Lance Armstrong, Fouché argues that technoscience calls into question the integrity of games, records, and our bodies themselves. He also touches on attempts by sporting communities to regulate the use of technology, from elite soccer's initial reluctance to utilize goal-line technology to automobile racing's endless tweaking of regulatory formulas in an attempt to blur engineering potency and reclaim driver skill and ability. Game Changer will change the way you look at sports—and the outsized impact technoscience has on them.

Game-Changer: Game Theory and the Art of Transforming Strategic Situations
Author : David McAdams
Publisher : W. W. Norton & Company
A radically new, and easily learned, way to outstrategize your rivals. "The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win." So wrote Zhuge Liang, the great Chinese military strategist. He was referring to battlefield tactics, but the same can be said about any strategic situation. Even seemingly certain defeat can be turned into victory—whether in battle, business, or life—by those with the strategic vision to recognize how to "change the game" to their own advantage. The aim of David McAdams's Game-Changer is nothing less than to empower you with this wisdom—not just to win in every strategic situation (or "game") you face but to change those games and the ecosystems in which they reside to transform your life and our lives together for the better. Game-Changer develops six basic ways to change games—commitment, regulation, cartelization, retaliation, trust, and relationships—enlivened by countless colorful characters and unforgettable examples from the worlds of business, medicine, finance, military history, crime, sports, and more. The book then digs into several real-world strategic challenges, such as how to keep prices low on the Internet, how to restore the public's lost trust in for-charity telemarketers, and even how to save mankind from looming and seemingly unstoppable drug-resistant disease. In each case, McAdams uses the game-theory approach developed in the book to identify the strategic crux of the problem and then leverages that "game-awareness" to brainstorm ways to change the game to solve or at least mitigate the underlying problem. So get ready for a fascinating journey. You'll emerge a deeper strategic thinker, poised to change and win all the games you play. In doing so, you can also make the world a better place. "Just one Game-Changer [is] enough to seed and transform an entire organization into a more productive, happier, and altogether better place," McAdams writes. Just imagine what we can do together.

Can you imagine if a team from the 1980s suddenly warped here and played a modern college tournament? I know players these days tend to have more athleticism in the top six teams or so, but it's all one and dones. Even some random Lute Olsen 1980s team that got bounced early would run the table. These top teams have zero continuity.
The reason I pull for mid-majors or the wack-ass newbies like Northwestern is they actually played with each other more than one year, and treat the college experience like their glory years rather than an inconvenience.

As far as MAC teams go, Ohio U has actually been the most impressive of the conference over the last 10-15 years. Upset Georgetown (who hasn't) as a 14 seed back in 2009 or 2010. And then beat Michigan as a 13 seed back in 2012, I think. They were actually super close to making the Elite 8 that year but lost to UNC in overtime. I went to BGSU and they're the only team to never win the MAC tournament and haven't been to the NCAA since 1968. Pretty pathetic.
Anyway, I'm pulling for SMU to do some damage. I usually root for most mid majors because an NCAA Tourney without at least one good mid major Cinderella team is fucking pointless.
Man, that OU run will always be the biggest what if for me (alum 2012). Walter Offutt had two free throws to ice it in regulation, but missed the front end. Then DJ had a half court shot that was just a bit wide that would have won it. Team just ran out of gas in OT.
Had they won, they would have had to beat KU, and they probably would have lost. But still, just having that chance would have been crazy. Probably the closest they'll get to the Final Four in my lifetime.
As for who wins it all, I've got Nova going back-to-back. May be a little biased since I'm currently at a school in the Big East, but seeing them up close three times... that team is unreal. Jenkins, Hart and Brunson are three of the toughest dudes in the country, and the rest of the guys do a great job filling their roles. I know Duke is the trendy pick, but I don't see them getting past Nova.
Nova, Arizona, Louisville, UNC is probably what I would go with.

I don't think there's any doubt college basketball is at an all-time low in terms of game-play.
I can't even imagine what an early 90's UNLV, Duke, or Arkansas squad would do to these teams. Bobby Hurley and Christian Laettner would beat today's Dukies by 40+ in a boat race and Duke is the Vegas favorite this year.
It's still fun to watch because it's great competition, but you are correct....the game has devolved a shitload.

All you have to do is look at the depth of the Tourney fields back then. Take 1990 (my personal pick for all-time best Tournament.) LSU had Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Jackson (Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf) and Stanley Roberts- three future NBA 1st-round picks, two in the top five- and were a 5th seed. Alabama had Robert Horry, David Benoit and Keith Askins and were a 7th seed. There was just a ton of talent- upperclass, too- throughout the field.
Greatest CBB game I've ever watched live was the Duke-UNLV Final Four game in 1991 (I was working the night of Duke-Kentucky '92.) Either of those teams, given current training, nutrition, etc, would annihilate a mid-2010's bracket.

Umm.. Fla. State might be the longest CBB team I've ever seen. Their whole squad is full of point forwards. They have like five 6'8 ball handlers and a legit 7'2 guy. Their whole lineup is at least 6'6. I mean Ojuo is 7'1 325lbs. Man they are going to be a tough out.

egg production instead of lost as excess heat? Researchers at University of New England have been studying energy partitioning in laying hens in an effort to develop a feed formulation system based on net energy. This is intended to reduce heat increment or the heat produced beyond what is needed to keep the body warm. The work has shown benefits of added fat and oil and negative consequences of using protein as an energy source. A prediction equation was developed to convert ingredient metabolisable energy values to net energy based on their protein and fat content. A validation study was conducted with 600 Hyline Brown hens to examine the effect of fat and protein levels on performance from 20 to 40 week of age.
as the control. This diet has the highest added fat. Feed conversion was 7 points more favourable than control, the birds produced larger eggs at the same hen day production as control. Yolk colour score was higher than control.
Using net values in place of metabolisable energy values will increase the relative value, shadow price and use of ingredients with high oil content. The equation can be plugged into the formulation program to predict net energy of ingredients. This will allow nutritionists to formulate to on a net energy basis. This is expected to improve efficiency and profitability in the layer industry.

Q: How to use names to access variables in Java? I am trying to write a method in a class which could be invoked several times, each time modifying one of the class' fields. However, I need to new the object and set the field's value to it if I want to modify it, but if do this inside the method, the reference seem to be lost and the field left unchanged after the calling.
Public class A {
    private Immutable a;  //Immutable class
    private Immutable b;
    public void modify(Immutable k,int v) {
        k=new Immutable(v);  //Now I am trying to pass
                             //a and b as parameters but they remain unchanged
    }
}

Is there any way to pass the name of the field into the method (e.g., change the method modify(Immutable k, int v) to modify(String kName, int v), then use the name of the field to access it?
Thanks for any inputs!

A: If you need to access a variable by a String key, you should use a Map.
Map<String, Immutable> _vars = new HashMap<String, Immutable>();

public void modify(String key, int v) {
  _vars.put(key, new Immutable(v);
}

A: What I understand is that you're trying to create a new Immutable given an integer (v).  In your modify method right now, k is a temporary reference.  Setting the value "k =" in here, only affects the reference stored here in this method, not whatever reference you called modify with.
You have client code like this currently:
A a = new A();
Immutable k = new Immutable(x);
a.modify(k, y);

and you're hoping that k will be changed.  What you really want instead of the 3rd line is:
k = new Immutable(y);

Assuming that things are really more complicated, then I would need more information to help you further.

A: Java does not support Call-by-name or call-by-reference, only Call-by-value. Your k variable (the method parameter) is completely independent from any variable used outside of the class (if there was one at all).
You could use Reflection to support passing "a" or "b" (or a Field object), but you should not.
Better have two methods:
public void setA(int v) {
    this.a = new Immutable(v);
}

public void setB(int v) {
    this.b = new Immutable(v);
}

If it is more complicated than a single constructor call, factor the common part out to a common method.

A: Use a value holder.
public class ValueHolder<T> {
    private T value ;
    public ValueHolder(T value) {
        this.value = value ;
    }
    public T get() {
        return value ;
    }
    public void set(T value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
    public static <V> ValueHolder<V> make(V value) {
        return new ValueHolder<V>(value);
    }
}
public class Processor {
    private Inmutable a ;
    private Inmutable b ;
    public void modify(ValueHolder<Inmutable> k, int v) {
        k.set(new Inmutable(v));
    }
}

Once that is done you can get the instance you just created from the value holder.
Processor processor = new Processor();
ValueHolder<Inmutable> holder = ValueHolder.make(k);
processor.modify(holder, value);
k = holder.get() ;

A: Note that while you checked the count in ChildRoot.Nodes, you did not check for the number of Rows in dt OR dtsl - judging by the error message specifically mentioning row at position 3, one of these is the culprit. Make sure you're checking for the row to exist - if it doesn't it may be a problem keeping those in sync somewhere in your application, or you might need to add it as the code executes, instead of retrieving it.

Bioenergy potentials from recently abandoned cropland under the land-energy-water nexus

Bioenergy plays a key role in scenarios limiting global warming below 2°C in 2100 relative to pre-industrial times. Land availability for bioenergy production is constrained due to competition with agriculture, nature conservation and other land uses. Utilizing recently abandoned cropland to produce bioenergy is a promising option for gradual bioenergy deployment with lower risks of potential trade-offs on food security and the environment. Up until now, the global extent of abandoned cropland has been unclear. Furthermore, there is a need to better map bioenergy potentials, taking into account site-specific conditions such as local climate, soil characteristics, agricultural management and water use.
Our study spatially quantify global bioenergy potentials from recently abandoned cropland under the land-energy-water nexus. We integrate a recently developed high-resolution satellite-derived land cover product (European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative Land Cover) with an agro-ecological crop yield model (Global Agro-Ecological Zones 3.0). Abandoned cropland is mapped as pixels transitioning from cropland to non-urban classes. We further identify candidate areas for nature conservation and areas with increased pressure on water resources. Based on climatic conditions, soil characteristics and agricultural management levels, we spatially model bioenergy yields and irrigation water use on abandoned cropland for three perennial grasses. We compute and analyze bioenergy potentials for 296 different variants of management factors and land and water use constraints. By assessing key energy, water and land indicators, we identify optimal bioenergy production strategies and site-specific trade-offs.
We found 83 million hectares of abandoned cropland between 1992 and 2015, equivalent of 5% of today's cropland area. Bioenergy potentials range between 6-39 exajoules per year (EJ yr-1) (11-68% of today's bioenergy demand), depending on agricultural management, land availability and irrigation water use. We further show and extensively discuss site-specific trade-offs between increased bioenergy production, land-use and water-use. Our high-end estimate (39 EJ yr-1) relies on complete irrigation and land availability. When acknowledging site-specific trade-offs on water resources and nature conservation, a potential of 20 EJ yr-1 is achievable without production in biodiversity hotspots or irrigation in water scarce areas. This is equal to 8-23% of median projected bioenergy demand in 2050 for 1.5°C scenarios across different Shared Socio-economic Pathways. The associated land and water requirements are equal to 3% of current global cropland extent and 8% of today's global agricultural water use, respectively.

"It is a constellation of signs:" Docs who discover restoration from COVID-19 are sometimes gradual and incomplete
By jimadmin On Oct 28, 2021
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – More and more COVID-19 patients are finding that recovery is often not quick or even complete.
One of the big problems that pop up is headaches, which often last for weeks or even months, and can affect both children and adults.
"Headaches are usually one of the most common long-term complications we see after COVID," says Dr. Emad Estamalik, Cleveland Clinic headache specialist.
Migraine sufferers in particular feel the headaches before COVID-19 compared to their cousins after the consequences pale.
"You have a high frequency or increased amount of migraines and headaches after your COVID illness, and this lasts for several weeks or several months," says Dr. Estamalik.
Dr. Estamalik says there are patients who never had migraines but did after COVID.
In the worst case, some may find the headache relentless.
"It's an incessant, persistent headache with episodic spikes that lasts around the clock," he explains.
The longer the headache lasts, says Dr. Estamalik: "There may be some loss of brain tissue."
Often times, post-COVID patients report more than just a headache.
"I hear a lot of patients, you know, talk about persistent fatigue, mood swings, depression and anxiety after an illness like this," he says. "So again, it's a constellation of symptoms as we say."
Although headaches were a strong indicator of COVID from the start, Dr. Estamalik: "So there is an overlap, so all respiratory symptoms can overlap with allergy symptoms, and both can also be linked to headaches. The first word is always if you have any doubts, let yourself be tested. "
The test will help you respond to COVID earlier or it may point you in a different direction.
WATCH: COVID-19 vs. Allergies
"You know that some of the allergy symptoms may have similar symptoms, but typically, but you won't lose smell and taste with what you know about allergies," he says. "So when you have a headache, alone, when there are no other symptoms. It is probably unlikely that it is COVID. "
And whether it's COVID or allergies, warns Dr. Estamalik before over-the-counter products.
"Be careful not to take too much or too much over-the-counter pain reliever just because of the effects we sometimes see with these drugs and what we call rebound or drug overuse headaches," says Dr. Estamalik.
Treatment for the headache is a delicate balance of medications that do not make other conditions worse.
He says other remedies, such as lifestyle and psychological counseling, are also helpful in reducing other things that can cause headaches or make them worse.

BMS state convention in Udaipur
(FOC)
NINETEENTH state convention of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) concluded in Udaipur on May 14. More than 5,000 delegates from Udaipur, Sirohi, Dungarpur, Banswara, Chittaurgarh, Bhilwara and Rajsamand participated in the convention. The three-day event began with flagging off a rally of activists by BMS national president Shri Girish Awasthi. Speaking on the occasion Shri Awasthi said the strength and spreadness of an organisation is necessary to fight injustice to the workers. Presiding over the inaugural ceremony, Shri Bhagwati Prasad Sharma, national co-convenor of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch (SJM) said only the Swadeshi method could ensure employment to the workers. Shri Gulabchand Kataria, Home Minister of Rajasthan, said only bridging the gab between the rich and the poor could extend the rights to the poor. Several BMS workers who played a key role in spreading the BMS work in the state were honoured on the occasion. Veteran BMS leader Shri Raman Shah said the developed countries are using the WTO as a weapon against the developing countries. Shri Prahlad Singh Avana was elected new state president and Shri Rajendra Sharma has been given the responsibility of general secretary.
From Nitish to Naxal leader at Guruji function (Samvad Darshan)
THE main theme of all the events being organised during the birth-centenary year of Shri Guruji is social harmony. A ray of such social harmony was witnessed in Patna on May 13 when representatives of various ideologies assembled at a function to pay tributes to Shri Guruji. Chief Minister of Bihar Shri Nitish Kumar and noted Naxalite leader Dr Vinayan were also present at the function. Speaking at the first session, Shri Nitish Kumar described the uneasiness in the minds of youth as the biggest challenge. He said without removing this uneasiness India cannot become a super power. He said he is not ruling in Bihar but serving the people and that is why he has concentrated on providing maximum employment. Shri Ram Madhav, national executive member of RSS, highlighted the thinking of RSS in social building. Shri Sushil Kumar Modi, Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, said he is among the people who saw Shri Guruji from close quarters. He emphasised the need for man-making ambience for the development of the country. Dr Vinyan said social brotherhood is not possible in the society where violence, hate, terror, crime and the gap between the rich and the poor exists.
VHP hostel activists camp (Hindu Vishwa)
AN all India three-day training camp for the hostel activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad was held in Nagpur from May 12 to 14. A total of 90 activists belonging to 49 hostels participated in the camp. Sahsarkaryavah of RSS Shri Suresh Soni, popularly known as Bhaiyaji Joshi, was also present at the camp. Speaking at the inaugural session, he said those who work have to make their way themselves and the self-experience of a worker is his real guide. Quoting Swami Vivekananda, he said just imparting the knowledge of letters does not make one literate but the aim of education should be to arise the inner qualities of a person. He said the VHP is running the hostels with the same motive. He said any child who comes to the hostel for education should feel a positive change. Shri Sitaram Agrawal, Akhil Bharatiya Sewa Pramukh of VHP, described the hostels as factory of making the patriotic youth. He pointed out that there are about 22 crore Vanvasis and backward people in the country and a large section of them are deprived of education and basic health facilities.
3,500 return to their roots (FOC)
OVER 3,500 people returned home at several home-coming ceremonies held in defferent parts of the country. At a function held in Badaun (Uttar Pradesh) over 3,500 people returned home. They had adopted Christianity about two decades back. They were welcomed by Shri Dilip Singh Judev, former Union Minister and Shri Gopikrishan Kayal, centeral Trustee of VHP by washing their feet. The home-coming ceremony was organised at G.B. Pant college of Kachhala under the banner of Dharma Jagaran Samiti. After a yajna, all the people were provided a garland and a janeu each. The other function was held in Ranchi by Sarana Samiti on May 25 in which 50 people belonging to 14 families returned to their roots. Shri Dilip Singh Judev washed their feet and welcomed them in Hinduism. Another home-coming ceremony was held in Jaunpur (Uttar Pradesh) on May 31 in which 26 people belonging to six families returned home. Shri Gopikrishan Kayal pointed out that another home-coming ceremony is scheduled in the month of June in Badaun in which over 25,000 people are expected to return home.
VHP protests conversion bid in Delhi (FOC)
VISHWA Hindu Parishad has strongly protested the conversion attempts by Christian missionaries in different parts of Delhi. In a statement issued in Delhi, the VHP alleged that the poor and innocent Hindus, particularly living in the jhhuggi clusters, are being victimised by the missionaries. A memorandum to this effect, signed by the state unit president Shri O.P. Singhal and general secretary Shri Rastra Parkash, was submitted to the State Commissioner of Police Dr K.K. Paul. A copy of the memorandum has also been forwarded to the Lt. Governor and the Chief Minister. ?We have demanded that the police should keep a strict watch and take stern action against these illegal activities through Changai conferences and other ways. Recent conversion bid in Jwalapuri area forced the residents to come to streets in large number. Similar type of cases have also been reported from various other parts of the capital,? the statement added.

Teenaged girl gang-raped, killed in Odisha
Bhubaneswar: A 17-year-old girl was gang-raped and murdered in Odisha's Ganjam district, police said Saturday.
The barbaric incident took place near Balisahi village, about 170 km from Bhubaneswar Thursday night.
A post-mortem examination conducted on the body Friday revealed that the girl was raped before being murdered, sub-divisional police officer R.C. Sethi told IANS.
Quoting her family members, police said the girl had gone to a nearby field with her father Thursday and left for home alone. Her father returned home in the evening but did not find her.
Family members and other villagers searched for her and found her body near a mango orchard with her hands and legs tied. Two heavy stones were placed on her body which also bore injury marks.
Villagers Friday informed the police who went to the site and sent the body for post-mortem examination.
"The preliminary investigation indicated that she was strangled after being raped by more than one person. We have not arrested anyone so far. Investigation is still underway," the official said.

Q: unexpected token: BillingState Im learning more about Batch Apex class and I find it pretty cool and helpful.  When I remove the Where BillingSate='TX' everything works as expected.  Yet when I use the Where condition I get the following error: First error: unexpected token: BillingState What does this error mean?
Things I considered: I have made sure the query works by using the Query Editor. The Contacts don't have any values in their MailingState fields.  I have access to all fields as a system admin. I get the same error even after using variable binding.
/*String state = 'TX';
        return Database.getQueryLocator(
        'Select id,BillingStreet,BillingCity,BillingState,'+
        'BillingPostalCode,(Select id,MailingStreet,MailingCity,'+
        'MailingState,MailingPostalCode from Contacts) From Account'+
        'where BillingState=:'+state
        );  This doesn't work either */
global class UpdateContactAddInfo implements Database.Batchable<sObject>
{
    global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc)
    {
        return Database.getQueryLocator(
        'Select id,BillingStreet,BillingCity,BillingState,'+
        'BillingPostalCode,(Select id,MailingStreet,MailingCity,'+
        'MailingState,MailingPostalCode from Contacts) From Account'+
        'where BillingState=\'TX\''
        );
    }
    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<Account> scope)
    {
        List<Contact> contacts=new List<Contact>();
        for(Account a:scope)
        {
            for(Contact c:a.contacts)
            {
                c.MailingStreet = a.BillingStreet;
                c.MailingCity = a.BillingCity;
                c.MailingState = a.BillingState;
                c.MailingPostalCode = a.BillingPostalCode;
                contacts.add(c);

            }
        }
      update contacts;
    }
    global void finish(database.BatchableContext bc)
    {

    }

}

A: You're missing a space after FROM Account, which is a constant pitfall when building queries through string concatenation.
This would be easier to see if you did not use Dynamic SOQL here, since you do not need it. Just write a static SOQL query:
return Database.getQueryLocator([
    SELECT Id, BillingStreet, BillingCity, BillingState,
           BillingPostalCode,
           (SELECT Id, MailingStreet, MailingCity, MailingState, MailingPostalCode
            FROM Contacts)
    FROM Account
    WHERE BillingState='TX'
]);

"We spent an amazing three weeks on Smiling Tree Farm! Christine is a wonderful host, with a wealth of knowledge on running a small holding, animal husbandry and an absolutely fantastic cook. It was great to experience the raising & growing of produce from paddock to the plate. We never thought we'd learn the skills of separating milk and making butter (among many others!). Our daily chores made us really feel like we were contributing to the running of the farm, which was rewarding in itself, not to mention we were always treated with delicious and plentiful food and luxury accommodation. We will definitely miss the lifestyle and all the lovely animals.
Christine is so welcoming, friendly and full of life, and always does her best to make sure your every need is met. Her home is stunningly beautiful and the helpers' snug is a cosy place to sit and relax.
It was really nice to make new friends with the other helpers. Overall Smiling Tree Farm is an amazing slice of paradise in beautiful Shropshire and we would recommend it to anyone."
"I spent 2 unforgettable weeks at Smiling Tree. It really was a privilege to spend time on the smallholding, get involved in so many routines and practices, and learn so much about the animals, fodder, fixing fences, plants, hay, weeds, ground-source heating, shelter belts, and the building and food forest plans for the future. Christine is a very positive person who is highly competent in so many areas. She always had time to answer my questions. "
I loved my time here. I learned so much. From how to make pain au chocolat to setting up an electric fence. Christine is a wonderful host, a great teacher, very knowledgeable and overall quite an inspiring woman. After just a few short weeks on Smiling Tree I feel that I'd like to have a farm of my own someday. Complete with a beautiful Jersey dairy cow just like Lollipop. I really enjoyed learning about small shareholder farming especially the dairy (including how to make butter!). The dairy provided to us by Lollipop was gorgeous. As were all the puddings and the food provided by Christine (and the animals on the farm). Christine is an amazing cook and will feed you well.
Come to Smiling Tree Farm if you want to learn and spend time with new friends. The work schedule for the day is broken up and varied so much that the day flies by. I felt that our workload was just the right balance of physical labor and lighter tasks. We did a variety of tasks like feeding the animals, sowing seeds, weeding and moving stones in preparation for wall building.
Christine is a happy and friendly person and overall a joy to be around so I was thankful for the longer breaks and lunches that allowed us to spend time talking with her.
I highly recommend going to Smiling Tree Farm. I had a wonderful time and am thankful for the new friends I made while there.
" Smiling Tree was my third WWOOFing experience (I have now been to about 30!) and it remains one of my favourites. The work was interesting and varied, the accommodation and food sublime and Christine is a very approachable and knowledgeable host who is keen to share her wealth of skills and experience. There are many innovative ideas put into practice on the smallholding including the use of sprouted fodder for the cattle and pigs, so there is plenty of opportunity to explore which ideas could work for you, if this was a way of testing out a possible future venture. Highly recommended."
"Smiling Tree Farm is such a lovely place to stay. It is so nice that you don`t want to leave. We have been there for two wonderful weeks and were very sad when the time was over.
We have seen and learned so many interesting things that it was a pleasure, no work, to do the different things: feeding the animals, preparing the fodder, weeding, harvesting garlic, cutting the hedge.
We mustn't forget to mention that Christine is a great cook. Her food was amazing and she taught us a lot about her delicious recipes. She taught us so many things, we learned how to separate the fresh milk from the house cow (we were allowed to milk ourselves) and how to make butter and cheese.
The most important thing to say is that it is Christine, who makes this place so lovely, comfortable and enjoyable. She is such a great person to talk to and to spend time with.
Thank you so much Christine."
"I had such a brilliant time here! My friend Hannah and I did lots of odd jobs around the farm - a bit of hedging, a bit of mucking out, carrying the lambs down to the field and electric fence training the piglets! The work was never dull and the bigger jobs we did a little of over several days so we were never bored with the work (morning breaks with fresh coffee and cake also helped!). Christine taught us about all the aspects of having a smallholding we were interested in and I found my new vocation in life- pressure washing!
We were treated like royalty in Christine's home! The comfiest bed, the snug with the roaring fire, and oh my goodness the food! Freshly made pain au chocolat (which Christine also taught us to make), delicious meat reared on Christine's farm (some of which Christine taught us to make sausages from), endless homemade cakes and BEAUTIFUL PUDDINGS!!
An overall fantastic experience. Thank you very much!"
"I have given 5 stars to previous hosts, but this place really deserves top marks! Christine certainly does all she can to provide a comfortable and educational time for her helpers. I would highly recommend Smiling Tree Farm if you are interested in innovative small holding practices and want to experience how well people can live in a very sustainable way. During my two week stay, I got to see all the hard work and dedication that goes into feeding and looking after the animals in a way that keeps them super healthy and happy. The rewards of all this work are the delicious food that is cooked to perfection by Christine. Some of the memories I have taken away from my experiences in the stunning rolling hills of Shropshire are the wonderful tree roosting chickens, gentle Lollipop the cow and her delicious diary, Peter the pig who just seems so content, the Shetland sheep (content until weaning :/), the pea and barley fodder that provides such beautiful food for the pigs and cows, and the incredible 15th century thatched roof house. Thank you for being such an inspiration Christine and also for going to the trouble to contact me about my forgotten phone charger and posting it to me. All the best with all your future projects!"
