2018 HR in review: our most read blogs
2018 has certainly been a significant year for employers. Recruitment and retention have remained at the forefront but a renewed focus on gender pay and an evolving political landscape has given both a new urgency.
As this year draws to a close, we've looked at five of the top insights readers wanted to know about this year:
Attracting and Retaining Women Leaders
Mandatory gender pay gap reporting made headlines this year as organisations across the country with over 250 employees reported on their differences. With the second round of reports looming, "forward thinking employers are already taking the opportunity to evaluate their results and take action" wrote Stephanie Kowalewicz as we shared our top five ways to improve gender equality in the workplace.
Mental health has been on the HR agenda for a long time but this year employers have upgraded it from a focus to a priority – and it's clear to see why. In November we were proud to sponsor and attend This Can Happen – the largest ever gathering of organisations across the UK to discuss mental health in the workplace – and new statistics came to the fore: mental health now affects not just 1 in 4, but all of us. "What really stood out for me and my organisation, and I'm sure for most others in the room, is how vitally important it is that we encourage those who want or feel able to talk to do so", wrote our own Denise Priest. "Whether it's as simple as sitting down for a cup of tea and a chat with a colleague, inviting a friend over for dinner or starting a conversation with a stranger in need about the weather."
Creating Inclusive Workplaces
As employers we all know the benefits of creating diverse and inclusive workplaces: different perspectives, broad sets of skills, greater candidate pool and a thriving culture to name but a few. But as our very own Deb Ejenas wrote this year, the latest kid on the block to the D&I party is belonging: "Science tells us it's a human instinct to want to belong, and that we perform better, as individuals and as companies, when we feel connected." What's the latest thinking on fostering a sense of belonging? Find out more here.
Eldercare is a Business Problem
This year new data on eldercare made for sombre reading with the number of adults needing round the clock care rising by over a third to 1 million in the next 20 years. "The numbers indicate an enormous challenge and a sizeable toll to be taken on businesses when family members are not just juggling their own family responsibilities with work but now potentially looking after an elderly loved one too", wrote our own Stephanie Kowalewicz. For organisations around the country, the issue is not an if, but a when, and supportive employers is a must.
Retaining Working Parents
It's a fact of the modern workplace that parents will go out on parental leave and it's also a fact that there will always be concerns about whether or not they will return. This year, the big question has been are organisations doing enough to make sure those wishing to return are able to do so? "The answer might be no", says Denise Priest, "it might be as simple as a policy that it missing; absence of the basics can place organisations at an immediate disadvantage." So, what can you do to ensure parents return after leave?
Tune in in 2019 as we continue to tackle the challenges and discuss what the future holds for HR strategies! Happy New Year, everyone!

Since joining Leamington Cycling & Athletics Club in 1986 she has run well over 50,000 miles in training and racing (which equates to more than twice around the world). Starting out as an 800m, 1500m and cross-country runner she progressed up the distances over the years and moved more towards road running, eventually running her first marathon in 2001. For the next 10 years she focussed on marathons and was selected to run for Great Britain in the 2004 Kosice Peace Marathon, finishing 2nd female, and the 2006 Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
She will talk to us about some of her experiences and her very arduous training schedule.


Beau Garrett makes her first appearance near the end of the fourth episode of Entourage when she greets Vince at Club Prey. She returns in the series' fifth episode, The Script and the Sherpa, as Vince's girlfriend and close friend of Val Kilmer's Sherpa character. Her strict vegan lifestyle conflicts with the rest of the crew's everyday routine, so Eric, Turtle, and Drama are glad to see Fiona go when she permanently departs at the end of the episode for an ashram in India.


The Columbia Tower is the tallest building in Seattle. It's 70 stories tall, and the view from the top is spectacular. The Big Climb is a fundraiser where thousands of people climb the stairs to the top to raise money for the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My friend did the climb yesterday in memory of her father, so I'm a little late with my donation, but I still wanted to contribute none-the-less. Not only did she make it to the top (she even said "It wasn't hard") she far exceeded her fundraising goal. Who does that? Woo hoo! I'm so proud of her.


In the wake of the Ethiopian Airlines crash that left 157 people dead, leaders around the world are questioning whether regulators are doing enough to prevent these tragedies. Aviation safety is a critical issue, not just for passengers' peace of mind, but to a global economy that relies on confidence in the people who build, fly, and inspect aircraft.
For supply chain and logistics professionals, aviation safety has an added dimension: air freight. For years, cargo flights have been held to different safety standards than passenger flights, they have maintained a far worse safety record. When an Amazon plane crashed outside Houston in February, it was the fifth domestically registered cargo plane to crash since 2009, a period in which there was just one death on a domestically registered passenger flight. That discrepancy is particularly glaring given the comparative number of cargo flights; in 2017, there were 9 million passenger flights, and just 603,000 cargo flights. Pilots and industry groups attribute the poorer safety record for cargo flights to a few issues. For one thing, cargo carriers were left out of 2014 rules to give pilots more rest, especially when flying late at night. Other factors include flights with mislabeled hazardous material onboard, or flights forced to land at poorly equipped airports.
When passenger jets crash, they grab international headlines, but aircraft carrying cargo rarely receive the same level of outrage. More attention is needed on this issue, so that shippers who use air freight as a shipping method understand that there are real people taking real risks to get them their shipments on time.
As the Washington Post notes, the FAA has been the "gold standard" of air safety of decades, and that status preserved confidence in American planes and American regulatory leadership. Now, disquieting reports are emerging that pilots trained on the 737 Max with an hour-long iPad program. Even more troubling, the Seattle Times reports that "FAA managers pushed the agency's safety engineers to delegate safety assessments to Boeing itself, and to speedily approve the resulting analysis." Our connected world and connected supply chain depend on aviation systems we all trust, and that requires a regulatory system that puts safety first.

Original Language(s)
ABC Kids (also known as Disney's ABC Kids, and originally titled Disney's One Saturday Morning until September 2002) was an American children's programming block that aired on ABC from September 13, 1997 to August 27, 2011. It featured a mix of animated and live-action series from Walt Disney Television Animation and (beginning in 2001) sister cable network Disney Channel, aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 14.
The block regularly aired on Saturday mornings in the U.S., though certain programs within the lineup aired on Sundays in some parts of the country due to station preferences for non-educational programming or scheduling issues with regional or network sports broadcasts. Under its original "One Saturday Morning" brand, the block also aired in Canada on CTV from 1997 to 2002, and on the Baton Broadcast System (BBS) from 1997 until it was integrated into CTV in 1998.
After five years of mainly repeats of programs introduced onto the block prior to the 2007-08 season, ABC decided it would cease to provide children's programming during the Saturday morning timeslot, and entered into an agreement with Litton Entertainment to program that period;[1][2] the block that resulted from this deal – Litton's Weekend Adventure, which is structured as a syndication package distributed with virtual exclusivity to ABC's owned-and-operated stations and affiliates – replaced ABC Kids on September 3, 2011.[3]

In the years immediately prior to The Walt Disney Company's purchase of ABC corporate parent Capital Cities/ABC Inc. in 1996, the network's children's program block at the time, ABC Saturday Morning, aired such Disney-produced series as The Mighty Ducks, DuckTales and Gargoyles. It was also known for its famous jingle "After these messages we'll be riiiiiight back!" that existed from 1987 until Disney's takeover of the network. However, many other Disney-produced animated series (such as The Little Mermaid, Timon & Pumbaa and Aladdin) aired at the time as part of CBS' competing Saturday morning lineup. After Disney formally took over ABC's operations in 1996, Disney head Michael Eisner sought to create a Saturday morning block that was different from those carried by its competitors at the time.
In February 1997, Peter Hastings left Warner Bros. Animation in a heated dispute over the direction of two massive Warner Bros. animated series hits he had written for, Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain, and joined Disney, where was tasked with overhauling ABC's Saturday morning lineup. He pitched an idea around the concept that Saturday is different from every other day of the week, and the representation of weekdays as buildings. Hastings also proposed the use of virtual set technology; although he knew little about it at the time and the technology used was just starting to be developed, Disney and ABC liked the idea. He hired Prudence Fenton as consultant manager and co-executive producer. Together, they sampled virtual set technology at the 1997 NAB Show and chose technology developed by Accom and ELSET. Rutherford Bench Productions, which had previously worked with Disney on other projects, hired Pacific Ocean Post (now POP Sound) to produce the virtual set. The building was initially a drawing of Grand Central Terminal with a roller coaster added, but evolved into a towering mechanical structure. Even the interior has similarities such as a central high raised room, with two wings on the left and right sides and another on the south side.[4]
Disney's One Saturday Morning
On September 13, 1997, Disney's One Saturday Morning premiered as a two-hour sub-block within the ABC Saturday Morning lineup.[5] It was originally scheduled to debut the Saturday prior on September 6, however its premiere was pushed back one week due to ABC News' coverage of the funeral of Princess Diana (a news event which also resulted in CBS and Fox pre-empting their children's programs block that day).
One Saturday Morning – advertised as "five hours of summer, once a week!" (as referenced in the theme song that introduced the block each week) – featured two parts: three hours of regularly scheduled cartoons and a two-hour flagship show that included feature segments, comedy skits, and the virtual world Hastings had proposed, along with episodes of three series: Doug (which had been acquired from Nickelodeon), Recess and Pepper Ann, all of which were interspersed through the show. Schoolhouse Rock!, a longtime staple of ABC's Saturday morning block since 1972, also aired as an interstitial segment (typically it aired during The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, the only non-Disney series to carry into One Saturday Morning and one that would air until Warner Bros. ended ABC's contract in 2000). Among the educational features were:
Manny the Uncanny, in which the title character (played by Paul Rugg) would visit an unusual job site and observe how the job is performed;
Great Minds Think for Themselves, in which Genie (voiced by Robin Williams, reprising of the character he voiced in Aladdin) highlighted moments in (mostly American) history in which famous figures bucked conventional wisdom;
How Things Werk, a "how does it work?" segment, styled in the manner of a comic strip, in which a boy named Billy would accurately explain some work of engineering (such as how elevators work or how carpeting is manufactured), only to be told "Wrong, Billy!" and have an authority figure offer a far more absurd and implausible explanation for these things; and
Mrs. Munger's Class, in which a page from an actual elementary school yearbook had its faces syncro-voxed for humorous effect (the actual people whose photos were featured never granted their permission for their likenesses to be used, prompting legal action against its producers and the eventual removal of the sketch). A similar sketch called Centerville replaced Mrs. Munger's Class.
The live-action wraparound segments were originally hosted by Jessica Prunell (in the role of Charlie) for the block's first season, and later by Valarie Rae Miller (in the role of MeMe) beginning in September 1998; the segments also featured an elephant named Jelly Roll (voiced by Brad Garrett), who served as a sidekick to the human host.
During One Saturday Morning 's intro sequence as well as the opening titles of programs during the block, a tiny lightbulb icon appeared in a bottom corner of the screen (which during programs, often occurred during a static frame at the end of the program's title sequence) with an announcer saying, "Illuminating Television," in reference to the educational programming content within the block. Various animations in which the lightbulb was removed from the screen occurred after the bulb's chain was pulled by a hand, differing depending on the program (such as the lightbulb turning into a rocket, falling into a garbage can or jumping in a pool). The icon continued to be used after the rebranding to "ABC Kids" until 2004, when it was replaced for the remainder of ABC Kids' run by an "e/i" icon adorned on a mortarboard hat and a ball version of the ABC logo (based on the one seen in the logo used for the block) that bounced to the top of the screen to wear the e/i hat at the start of each act.
A spin-off of One Saturday Morning, Disney's One Too, debuted on UPN on September 6, 1999; produced through a time-lease agreement between Disney and UPN, the block aired each weekday (either in the morning or afternoon, depending on the station's preference) and on Sunday mornings, and featured many of the programs shown on One Saturday Morning (including Recess, Pepper Ann and Sabrina: The Animated Series).[6] The shorts and hosted segments were dropped in 2000 in a reformatting of the ABC block due to low ratings; by this time, the interstitials within the block were relegated to bumpers and program promotions. In September 2001, live-action series were added to the One Saturday Morning lineup with the addition of the "Zoog Hour," an hour-long sub-block featuring the Disney Channel original sitcoms Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens (the sub-block, advertised in promos for One Saturday Morning promoting the two programs as "powered by Zoog," was named after Disney Channel's weekend programming block at the time, Zoog Disney).
On July 23, 2001, the Walt Disney Company purchased the assets of Fox Family Worldwide, primarily for its Fox Family Channel, which was included in the sale as well as Saban Entertainment, a company in which Fox purchased a 50% interest in 1994.[7][8] On September 14, 2002, ABC rebranded its Saturday morning block, as a subtle nod to the Fox Kids brand acquired by Disney through its purchase of Fox Family Worldwide, to ABC Kids (as a result of the sale, Fox Kids ceased to exist; Fox's children's program lineups would be handled from that point onward by 4Kids Entertainment).[9]
The rechristened block originally contained a mix of first-run programs exclusive to the block, as well as reruns of several original series from Disney Channel. NBA Inside Stuff also began airing on the block as a result of ABC's acquisition of the broadcast television rights to the NBA from NBC (where the series originally premiered in 1992), beginning with the 2002–03 season's Christmas Day game; Inside Stuff continued to air on ABC Kids until 2004. Replacing the massive building theme used on One Saturday Morning was a stadium motif, a theme that would last for all seven years of ABC Kids' run.[9]
Through Disney's acquisition of Saban Entertainment, ABC also moved the Power Rangers series from Fox Kids to the ABC Kids block. All first-run episodes from the franchise premiered on ABC Kids beginning with the second half of the show's Wild Force season (starting with the episode "Unfinished Business"), with the entirety of the Wild Force and Ninja Storm seasons subsequently airing in reruns on ABC Family (the former season aired in part both prior to the introduction of and during the ABC Family Action Block). Subsequent seasons from Dino Thunder to Jungle Fury had their first-run episodes debut on Jetix first and re-air on ABC Kids. The RPM season aired exclusively on ABC Kids, after which ABC canceled production of the series. In lieu of a new season, ABC instead reran the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, with an updated title sequence, for the 2009–10 season.
In September 2004, ABC Kids almost exclusively carried live-action and animated series from Disney Channel as a result of the short-lived Fillmore! (which had been airing in reruns since the summer of 2003) and Recess (which was airing in reruns on the block since it ended in 2000) being dropped from the lineup. With the expanded regulation of federally mandated educational programming guidelines defined by the Federal Communications Commission's Children's Television Act, ABC chose to fulfill the three-hour quota by carrying select episodes of Disney Channel live-action comedies and animated series (anywhere between eight and 13 episodes from a given season) featuring moral lessons and/or educational anecdotes. Furthermore, some of the network's affiliate groups – primarily Hearst Television and Allbritton Communications – refused to carry any show aired within the ABC Kids lineup that did not fulfill E/I requirements (such as Kim Possible or the Power Rangers series during their tenure on ABC Kids) in order to instead free up the time to air locally produced programming. However, some stations aired these shows on tape delay, shifting them to either very early in the morning on Saturdays or to Sundays – often before local newscasts, Good Morning America and/or that week's "live" portion of the ABC Kids block began.
Beginning with the 2007–08 season, ABC Kids (outside of Power Rangers) consisted mainly of repeat episodes of Disney Channel series that first aired on the block between September 2005 and May 2007 (Hannah Montana, The Emperor's New School and The Replacements were the last Disney Channel series to be added to the block in September 2006). In fact, all of the shows aired on the lineup were out of production by September 2011 (most notably, That's So Raven, which aired its series finale in 2007 but continued to air on ABC Kids for four more years, even after reruns of the sitcom stopped airing on Disney Channel in March 2010).
Airings of Power Rangers ended on the network's West Coast affiliates on August 14, 2010, due to a two-week preemption caused by ABC's coverage of the 2010 Little League World Series and the educational programming makegoods by those stations that resulted from it; the program officially ended its run on the block nationwide two weeks later on August 28. On September 4, 2010, ABC turned over the hour held by Power Rangers to its local affiliates (with many that carried the program and some that did not using that time to debut an additional hour of their existing Saturday morning newscasts on that date). Through Haim Saban's repurchasing of the intellectual rights to the franchise from Disney and a deal reached in May 2010 which gave the cable network the television rights, all new seasons of Power Rangers began premiering on Nickelodeon with the debut of the Samurai season on February 7, 2011. Repeats of new seasons and all previous seasons also began airing on that network the following day.[10]
Replacement by Litton's Weekend Adventure
In March 2011, ABC announced that it would no longer provide educational programming to its owned-and-operated stations and affiliates as part of its Saturday morning network lineup.[1] The network decided to lease out the three-hour timeslot and seek other programmers for an agreement to produce a syndicated block for its stations. On May 24, 2011, ABC's affiliate board announced that it had reached a deal with Litton Entertainment, a production company which produces syndicated programming (including educational programs aimed at children and teenagers), to produce original content for the Saturday morning block.
ABC Kids aired for the final time on August 27, 2011; the Litton-produced Litton's Weekend Adventure block effectively replaced ABC Kids the following week on September 3, 2011.[1][2][3] As a result, ABC discontinued airing animated programming, making it the first network not to air animated series within its children's program lineup since August 1992, when NBC discontinued its animation block on Saturday mornings to launch the live-action block TNBC.

Lost is found. ABC has finally announced a launch date for the fifth season of white-hot Televisionary obsession Lost.
The Alphabet will launch Season Five of Lost on January 21st, returning the J.J. Abrams-created series to Wednesday evenings. (It aired on Thursdays at 10 pm this past season.)
Even better news for those too tired (or in my case) old to make all the way to 11 pm: ABC has moved the series back to a 9 pm timeslot. (Whew.) It will, however, air opposite FOX's new crime drama Lie to Me, starring Tim Roth, but, thankfully, that's what TiVo was invented for.
Season Five will kick off on January 21st with a three-hour event: at 8 pm, there's a one-hour recap of what's already happened on Lost to date; at 9 pm, a one-hour season premiere; and at 10 pm, another brand-new episode. Subsequent weeks will air in the 9 pm hour.
That sound you hear? It's me jumping up and down with glee at finally having a date to look forward to. I'll be counting down the days until Lost returns and the 21st can't come quickly enough for me.

...isn't it wednesday january 21st, not the 19th? anyway, the countdown has begun!!!...
Jo said…
Hallelujah. Very excited that they're premiering it earlier than we'd anticipated. Must re-watch Season 4...
Can't wait to have Lost back! And I'm thrilled that it will be on at 9pm because, sadly, I am one of those lame people who passes out at 10pm.
I think it's great that it's on at 9PM. A lot of people probably stopped watching it live because it was on later especially if you have kids or aren't in your 20s!

Q: How to parse HTTP headers using sscanf I want to parse string, like a HTTP header, something like this:

"Header: some_data\r\nHost: domain.net\r\nConnection: Keep-alive\r\n".

For example, I tried to get a value of Host header
and used this call:

sscanf(data, "Host: %s\r\n", name)),
  but sscanf returns a 0 retval.

Code example:
char name[255] = { 0 };
const char str[] = "Header: some_data\r\nHost: domain.net\r\nConnection: Keep-alive\r\n";

sscanf(str, "Host: %s\r\n", name);

I expected, that it should returns a "domain.net" in name variable.
What is a better way to do this, using only sscanf() function?

Note: Today we publish the second of six finalists' essays from our 2012 writing competition, "How did you learn to cook?" Sheila Kenny cooks beautiful food when she is not wrangling major events and celebrities in her job as Marketing Director at Lexington Center (think Rupp Arena, Lexington Opera House, Lexington Convention Center, and all those shops at Lexington Center). She has an entrepreneurial bent, too, which she brings to The Incredible Food Show, an annual Kentucky-based food extravaganza she co-invented. Enjoy her global-to-local story about learning to cook.
I had almost no interest in cooking until I had the good fortune to spend a semester in Florence, Italy, during my junior year in college.
It was there I discovered the magic and power of cooking with the first dish I was able to fully master: Pasta d' Aglio e Olio.
You could (and I did) stumble home after a night on the town and within minutes, combine a few choice ingredients—fresh chopped garlic, lots of it; red pepper flakes, good olive oil, and decent boxed spaghetti #8—and whip up a batch of sheer garlicky heaven.
Ah, yes, like a first lover, the seductive power of Aglio e Olio would leave you longing for more.
Several years later, I discovered the writer Laurie Colwin, who wrote about cooking in her books Home Cooking and More Home Cooking, in a way that stirred my soul and appealed to my emotional side. Colwin introduced me to the intellectual concept of food preparation as a way to nurture and comfort.
After reading her books, I set my sights on mastering one of my favorite dishes, guacamole. The recipe I developed became known in my family as "The Michael Douglas Guacamole." It earned this nickname when I attended a potluck party in Santa Barbara, at which the movie star-mogul was a fellow guest. I watched, with amusement and satisfaction as he demonstrated a certain fatal attraction, consuming practically the entire bowl that I had made and brought to share. Then I heard him ask, in a very loud and distinctively Michael Douglas voice, "Who made the guacamole?!?" Needless to say, I was quick to take credit where it was due.
But beyond the bragging rights that such episodes afford, what really elevated my growing interest in cooking into a true passion was what might at first seem an odd coincidence: the summer when I became a member of the Elmwood Stock Farm CSA, and when my mother was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
Each week I was faced with a brown box brimming with mysterious vegetables that I had no earthly idea how to prepare. Like that classic episode of I Love Lucy in the chocolate factory with its endless conveyer, it was a weekly deluge of vegetables and more vegetables.
Luckily, the weekly supply from Elmwood also came with a newsletter featuring great recipes from other CSA members and tips on how to transform the bounty into wonderful meals.
Just around this time, my husband and I decided to host a weekly Sunday Supper for my mother and father and my two teenage children. My parents had recently moved to an assisted living residence that did not serve dinner on Sunday. Watching their faces light up when they saw and tasted the Sunday feast I had created almost entirely from the contents of the CSA box was thrilling, like giving the ultimate gift back to the people who had given me so very much. It was comforting to my soul to know that I was nourishing my mother's failing body with vegetables grown without any chemicals or preservatives. I took great relish in preparing each of those Sunday Suppers as if it might be the last meal she would ever experience.
With the quantity of vegetables that kept coming each week, I challenged myself to keep trying new recipes that would use up the entire contents of the box, not letting anything go to waste. There were some mighty failures along the way, but most of the dishes were a great success.
I am so grateful that the challenge of the weekly box from the Elmwood CSA inspired me to transform cooking from a source of power and pride Into something so much more important: giving back comfort and love...and a healthy serving of joy.

Lakes and tanks in the metropolitan area of Greater Bangalore and the district of Bangalore Urban are reservoirs of varying sizes constructed over a number of centuries by various empires and dynasties for rainwater harvesting. Historically, these reservoirs were primarily either irrigation tanks or for the water supply, with secondary uses such as bathing and washing. The need for creating and sustaining these man-made dammed freshwater reservoirs was created by the absence of a major river nearby coupled with a growing settlement. As Bangalore grew from a small settlement into a city, both of the primary historical uses of the tanks changed. Agricultural land witnessed urbanization and alternate sources of water were provisioned, such as through borewells, piped reservoir water and later river water from further away.

The topography of the three main gentle natural valley systems allowed for the creation of interconnected tanks and wetlands where water flows downstream through a series of channels or drains. These tank cascades or chains have seen accelerated change and fragmentation caused by urbanisation in the past four decades.  Some lakes have been redefined as recreational spaces. Some have been built upon. Other lakes have reduced in size and are in various stages of deterioration. While associated pollution is rampant such as the case of Bellandur Lake which is used as a sewage tank, numerous public and private efforts have been undertaken to address sewage treatment, prevention of dumping and encroachment.

Terminology
Lakes are called keres () in Kannada language, and are traditionally referred to as tanks. Researcher Rohan D'Souza has suggested that the concept of 'kere' and 'lake' differ; for example the former also refers to the wetland and bund while the latter focuses more on a body of water surrounded by land. When the forest department started to have a larger role in the administration of these waterbodies in the 1980s the word 'lake' started to be used as compared to 'kere' or 'tank'. In accordance with this terminology, communication and practices related to these waterbodies were impacted. Anthropologist Smriti Srinivas writes that tank is also a simplification that incorporates both natural and manmade waterbodies into its context since identification of bodies of water in the region that were historically natural is a task. A 1986 report classifies some tanks as 'disused' tanks.

There is no specific definition for what a lake is in India. Urban lakes also have no specific definition. In Bangalore, smaller waterbodies 1-3 acre in size are called gokattes and waterbodies less than 1 acre are called kuntes. The words kere and katte go back to usage by the Hoysala's. Kaluves can be translated as canals, while in the context of Bangalore rajakaluves refer to bigger or large canals, channels or drains, specifically storm water drains, that connect the lake cascades. Kalyanis refer to square tanks used for immersion (see temple tanks). Other bodies of water include a well, 'bhavi', and pond for domestic use, 'kola'.

History
Rainwater has been stored in reservoirs or irrigation tanks in the Indian subcontinent for many centuries. In Bangalore and the surrounding regions of Mysore these tanks numbered in the thousands and varied in size according to the rains. They were made primarily for the purposes of irrigation and drinking water, and secondary uses such as fishing, washing and other domestic needs. Inscriptions provide some insight into their history. The history and creation of the reservoirs is linked to different empires, dynasties and periods of the British Raj. The Ganga and Chola dynasty, the Hoysala Empire, the Vijayanagara Empire, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan and the Wadiyar dynasty are all associated tanks in Bangalore, including their creation, maintenance and use. These tanks or lakes along with open water wells constituted the water supply infrastructure. Socio-economic factors, population distribution, caste, and wealth affected interaction with water bodies. The neerganti were organised labour traditionally associated with regulating irrigation water. Voddas were the tank builders. The traditional well diggers are the Manu Waddar. The Vanniyakula Kshtriya or Thigala were horticulturists associated with lakes such as Sampangi. They brought the Karaga celebration to Bangalore. The roles of these communities have been diluted over time. Cultural and religious associations abound. Urbanisation has had diverse but mixed influence on these communities. It is often the case that when the history of these tanks is discussed it is idealized.

The dependence on tanks and other sources of water such as wells reduced with the implementation of schemes that brought water from Hesaraghatta Lake in 1894, T G Halli Reservoir in 1933, and Cauvery River from the 1970s. Borewells also reduced dependence on reservoirs. The Dharmambudhi Tank is used as an example to portray historical change, and change of a commons in Bangalore over the centuries. The tank goes back to at least the 16th century; some historical references point to a much earlier reservoir at the same location. The lake would be used until the end of the 19th century after which is saw unchecked decay as a waterbody. However its lakebed was located in prime area and continued to be used for various events, festivals, and gatherings. Part of the lakebed was still wetland and had wells. In the 1960s a portion of the lakebed was set aside for the construction of a bus stand. Of the many channels and lakes that were connected to Dharmabudhi in the past such as the former Sampangi Lake, Kempambudhi Lake and Sankey Tank remain.

Sampangi lake supported both the Pete and cantonment. It provided irrigation for millet and paddy cultivation. Construction in the area included a park in 1879, a hospital in 1886 and a school in 1898. Around 1895 the lake stopped being used officially as a water source and inflow channels severed. There were contesting claims as to how the lake and lakebed should be used. By 1935 all that remained was a small square tank. On the lakebed several constructions followed. An eponymously named stadium was constructed on a portion of Sampangi lake in 1946, now known as the Sree Kanteerava Stadium. This was followed by an increase in surrounding built up area. In 1995, another portion of the former wetland was used to build the Kanteerava Indoor Stadium.

Lakes or tanks, including dry ones, have been converted to commercial areas, industries, government buildings, bus stands, sports facilities, playgrounds and residential colonies, a few tanks were breached under a malaria eradication programme. When Bangalore Golf Course was formed in 1876, it was located in the center of the city, and then land was relatively easily obtained. In 1973 the Karnataka Golf Association was formed and the members started looking for a location to set up a golf course. Among the several locations Challaghatta lake or tank was suggested, then located on the outskirts of the city. At the time there were ample lakes in the city and not much fuss was made related to the lake itself. After a number of administrative processes involving multiple departments of the local administration and multiple Chief Ministers, and conversion of the area into a golf course designed by an Australian architectural firm, the first 9 holes were inaugurated in 1986. Multiple national and international golf tournaments have been held at the course.

In 1986 the Lakshman Rau committee (under a retired administrative officer; see N. Madhava Rao) came out with a report highlighting the failure to maintain various tanks and made comments covering lake boundaries, water quality, the construction of tree parks in areas breached, to monitoring and conducting further study for new tanks. The committee identified 127 lakes and transferred 90 to the forest department. Since the 1980s custody of the lakes in the city has seen numerous changes. The former Lake Development Authority experimented with public–private participation which included leasing out of four lakes. Government administration of the lakes in the city mainly fall under a few urban local and state regulatory bodies. Outside the city management is under the village and district Panchayats, and the Minor Irrigations department depending on the size of the lake. Others forms of participation in the form of corporate social responsibility, general public involvement, including coordination with government efforts, and formation of lake groups, has resulted in some lakes seeing successful attempts at conservation and rejuvenation. There are numerous measures undertaken, debated and contested by stakeholders in relation to the rejuvenation (restoration, revival, rehabilitation, conservation) of lakes.
 Failure of these processes has been observed. Urbanization has impacted the lakes in various ways, some lakes have completely disappeared, others have been reduced to pools, some have been encroached upon, some are in various stages of deterioration, some have dried up, and some have been leased. The Koliwad committee, set up by the Karnataka legislature in 2014, reported thousands of acres of encroachment of lake land.

Topography and hydrology

The topographic setting of the city has radial slopes towards east and west with a smooth ridge running north to south; rainfall over the ridge area gets divided and flows east or west into the three gentle slopes and valleys of Koramangala–Challagatta, Hebbal and Vrishabavathi. The average elevation is roughly . These naturally undulating terrain of hills and valleys lends itself to the development of tanks that can capture and store rainwater. Small streams are formed by each valley starting with the ridge at the top. A series of shallow tanks varying in size are developed by the construction of bunds. A tank generally consists of a shallow inflow area and a relatively deeper outflow area where the bund is. The tank can further be zoned into a flooded area and a waterlogged zone. Monsoons recharge the tanks and the outflow can be regulated for irrigation of monsoon crops during the last six months of the year. Most tanks are dry a couple of months before the onset of the new monsoon. A second crop can be considered on the basis of water levels. Other seasonal changes affect the water level. Urban sewage inflow allows some lakes to retain their water spread for a longer period. Initially serving as a water source, these tanks over time also developed features of closed water lentic ecosystem habitats. The catchments on the east and west of the ridge belong to the Ponnaiyar River and Arkavathi River respectively. Both these rivers flow into the Kaveri.

The tank-canal linkages or rajakaluves (large canals or stormwater canals) were redefined by the colonial administration once they became the location for the sewerage network. Rajakaluves now refer to both the inter-lake linkages and the sewerage, and are translated as stormwater drains. In the 21st century there are 842 km in the drain network. Urbanisation has impacted these. Ensuring adequate water flow and no blockages is undertaken by the local administration. Encroachment of storm drains and catchment areas can cause both drying up and flooding of lakes. These drains often carry sewage in it, which results in the lakes getting polluted.

Bangalore has a mean annual rainfall of  with June to September seeing the majority of rainfall. 2022 was the wettest year with over 1700mm of rainfall. The city sees around 60 rainy days a year. The minimum rainfall is 587.8 mm/year. An estimate of the rain water potential is 45000 million litres. The annual mean temperature is  with extremes ranging from  to . The highest and lowest temperature ever recorded in Bangalore has been 38.9 °C and 7.8 °C. in 1931 and 1884 respectively.

Quantity

There are various boundaries and methods that have been considered when counting lakes or tanks. This includes the different jurisdictions of concerned government bodies such as BBMP, BDA, BMRDA; the different limits of Bangalore Metropolitan Area, Greater Bangalore, Bangalore Rural district, Bangalore Urban district; and counts mentioned in reports such as the N Lakshman Rao report of 1986. Over time, the expansion of the limits of the city has resulted in a transfer of lakes in the rural district to the urban district.

Bangalore has grown in area from  in 1949 to over  by 2007. The area covered by water bodies in Greater Bangalore and Bangalore Urban has seen a sharp decline since the 1960s and 1970s. Greater Bangalore has seen a reduction in water cover from 20.8 km2 in 1965 to 12.5 km2 in 2018. A study published in 2008 found that in the heart of the city only 17 good lakes exist as against 51 healthy lakes in 1985. A 2020 report listed 211 lakes within BBMP boundary limits. There are six cascading lake series- Varthur, Puttenahalli, Hulimavu, Byramangala, Yellamallappa Chetty and Madavara.

In 2015, a survey of all lakes in Bangalore Urban totaling 834 was completed. BMRDA in 2001 identified 2789 lakes (2-50 hectares in size) within its limits. In 2013, the jurisdiction of the minor irrigation department, BMRDA and BDA was 3578, 2789 and 596 tanks/lakes respectively. The Koliwad committee (2014-2016) listed 1545 lakes. An 2018 study by an autonomous institute under the Karnataka government counted 1521 water bodies in the Bangalore Metropolitan Area, out of which 837 were disused.

Quality
The largest lake in the city Bellandur Lake is "severely polluted". The lake receives 520 million litres per day of sewage and other waste that amounts to about 40% of the city's total. Out of this roughly half is treated and diverted for irrigation. Otherwise the only inflow is rainwater. When aquatic systems around the world are taken into consideration, Bellandur Lake has methane emissions that are among the highest in the world. The lake has been in the news for its pollution, froth, and fire. Post-2015 deliberations with regard to what the end-goal of a rejuvenation of Bellandur lake would entail were held. The cause of the water quality situation in the lake was discussed. No simple solutions were found. Heavy metal contamination in Bellandur Lake impacts concentration of heavy metals in the soil and crop in areas irrigated using untreated lake water. Despite the numerous shortcomings presented by Bellandur and downstream Varthur lakes, these aren't representative of the many more shortcomings of water management in the rest of Bangalore. Byramangala Lake has also seen froth. A  number of factors impact measurements and interpretation of water quality and pollution.

India's National Water Quality Monitoring Programme is implemented in Bangalore by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board through a network of over 100 monitoring stations located at lakes and tanks. Monthly monitoring data is classified under pre-defined water quality criteria A-E. In 2022, according to this data water in all the lakes in Bangalore were undrinkable with no lake falling under categories A-C.

Water hyacinth, and other macrophytes and phytoplankton, are bioindicators of certain characteristics of water quality. Using satellite imagery between 1988 and 2019 (see #Ecology) significant areas of these have been observed covering various lakes in Bangalore, varying in coverage of the wetland according to lake, season and other factors. There have been occurrences of mass fish mortality. Immersion of Ganesha idols that are made with specific types of material has impacted water quality. Some types of painted idol immersion has had significant effects on aquatic life. Over 150,000 idols were submerged in 2022. Measures to minimize pollution during the festival include use of earthen idols and smaller disconnected artificial tanks.

Integrated wetlands, constructed wetlands, and floating wetlands have been utilized to improve water quality. The integrated wetland of Jakkur Lake consists of partially treating sewage inflow before entry into a constructed wetland adjacent to the main lake body. A 10 MLD treatment plant utilizes UASB technology and extended aeration. This is followed by an constructed wetland spread over about 11 acres consisting of shallow followed by deeper settling basins with a variety of aquatic plants. The constructed wetland at Agara Lake is spread over 9 acres. Floating wetlands have been used at multiple lakes with varying success, notably Hebbagodi Lake. Some lakes have wastewater treatment plants with direct inflow into the main lake area.

Urban flooding has been considered as a disaster by National Disaster Management Authority following major flooding events in cities in India in the 2000s including Bangalore. While there are similarities between cities in the causes of the floods, Bangalore has some unique exacerbating features with regard to its lake ecosystem.

Ecology

Birds
The Birdwatchers' Field Club of Bangalore released their first list of birds in Bangalore in the 1970s. The revised list of 1994 also contains recorded sightings such as that of little grebe at Ulsoor tank in 1930 and data from the waterfowl census conducted since 1987. The 1994 list records over 220 regularly sighted birds. 109 birds are wetland birds and additional 30 species are favoured by the presence of water. A study conducted by the same group in 1989 observed economic activities in and around the tanks which affected their ecology. Out of 97 tanks that were observed in a radius of 30 km, unregulated mudlifting and brickmaking were practiced in a large number of the lakes. Micro-habitats for aquatic birds in Bangalore can be grouped into roughly five categories: open water birds, waders and shoreline birds, meadow and grassland birds, birds of reedbeds and other vegetation, birds of open airspace above wetlands. Some birds frequent multiple micro-habitats. The ninth and tenth edition of the census of wetland and water birds in 1995 and 1996 conducted by the Birdwatchers' Field Club in coordination with the state forest department found 29 lakes which had twenty or more species such as Hebbal, Hosakote and Kalkere. 25 lakes were found with over 500 birds. The pond heron was found to be the most prevalent species among all the lakes, however no one species was present in all the lakes. Common waders include egret, sandpiper and brahminy kite. Kingfisher was the most common open water bird. The most common duck was Garganey. Pintail and Coot were common reed and other vegetation birds.

A study using eBird data from 2014 to 2019 from 44 lakes in the city had a sample size that included a total of 263 species. In this study, the area of the lake and its position in the city impacted bird richness. Most resident species saw an increase while most migratory species decreased. An earlier study of 15 lakes in the city identified birds such as kingfishers, purple moorhen, little grebes, darter, purple heron, grey herons and pond herons. A 2005-2007 study observed 112 bird species at seven lakes; Hebbal Lake had 74 species while Yediur Lake had 15 species. Another localised study of aquatic birds found that the two of the most abundant species are Anas querquedula, a species of duck, and Bubulcus ibis, a species of heron. Bird poaching and hunting was rampant in 1989. It now occurs to a much lesser extent.

Fish

20 types of fish have been observed in the lakes. Cyprinidae family is dominant. Fish diversity and bird biodiversity are impacted by fishing practices. Appropriate water bodies are leased out for fishing purposes. Fishes bred for food include carps such as catla, labeo, mrigal, and other types such as tilapia, catfish. Labeo rohita or rohu is the most commonly bred fish. In 2021 Jakkur Lake supported a number of fishing families. The lake provides up to 200 kg of fish per day. The catch can go up to 500 kg. There is a fish farm and research center beside Hebbal Lake.

Macrophytes
Imagery from the Indian Remote Sensing Programme for the years 1988-2001 were used to assess growth of water hyacinth in six lakes in Bangalore. Among the largest areas in this study under water hyacinth was observed in Hebbal Lake at  out of a total water spread of . Nagavara Lake had the highest ratio of water hyacinth to water spread; in March 1989 the lake was completely covered. In the mid-1980s Neochetina eichhorniae, used in the biocontrol of water hyacinth, was released on an experimental basis in a specific area of Bellandur Lake. An impact on water hyacinth was observed. The insect had also been recorded in the coming months in downstream Varthur Lake signifying a capability to migrate. Within a few months infestation of all water hyacinth in Varthur Lake was observed.

Analysis of freely available Google Earth imagery between 2002 and 2019 for macrophytes and phytoplankton cover in Bellandur and Varthur lakes showed that macrophyte cover never fell below 29% of the total wetland cover with a perennial average of nearly 60%. Algae was about half that of the macrophyte cover. Water hyacinth has favoured types of moorhen, heron, and egret, and has caused the loss of a type of wader. Aquatic weed harvesters are used on Bellandur lake.

Common emergent aquatic plants include alligator weed, pink morning glory and cattail. Common submerged aquatic plants include those from the genus Aponogeton, Potamogeton and the highly invasive Hydrilla, Elodea. Free floating Lemna, Wolffia and Eichhornia are common. Rooted floating plants include weeds, lilies and lotus. Around 22 types of aquatic weeds are found in the lakes including algae, duckweed, water hyacinth, musk grass, water thyme, pondweed.

Plankton
The 1989 Birdwatchers' Field Club study recorded 113 forms of plankton; in terms of plankton diversity six out of the 72 lakes showed high diversity. In a doctoral study on algae from 2017 to 2019 one downstream and one upstream lake from each of the 6 lake series were targeted. Algal diversity observed included 124 species belonging to 58 genera of the four classes Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Euglenophyceae. Dominant taxa includes the species Scenedesmus dimorphus and species from the genus Anabaena. In a targeted study of 7 lakes between 2010 and 2012 the dominant classes were the same.  Microcystis aeruginosa was the most dominant algal bloom. The main zooplankton were rotifera, cladocera, ostracoda and copepoda.

Other
An inventory of lakes in Bangalore conducted between 2016 and 2018 identified 142 types of flora 191 types of fauna, belonging to nine categories of the biota (flora: trees, herbs and shrubs, aquatic flora; fauna: insects, macro benthic fauna, fish, herpetofauna, avifauna, mammals) in and around the water bodies.

Various trees, herbs and shrubs are found in and around the lakes. Aacia nilotica has been planted at various tanks. Floral diversity of wetlands include types of flowering and fruiting plants.

A 2016 study identified 116 butterfly species. Doddakallasandra lake and Madivala lake have seen efforts specific to butterfly biodiversity. Apharitis lilacinus has been spotted at Hesaraghatta Lake.

One of the, or the, most vital modern use of lakes is for the storage of freshwater and subsequent recharge of groundwater in Bangalore. This comes into question during efforts to enhance the biodiversity and aesthetics of the lakes through the creation of artificial islands and tree parks, and opposition to "soup bowl" structured restoration. Naturalist Zafar Futehally suggests a balance by restricting soup bowl structure to select lakes, and allowing the others to develop with more concern for aquatic birds and recreation.

The development of electro-mobility in Poland is one of the inevitable processes certainly awaiting the Polish automotive industry. It is expected that in the next few years, electric cars will become a viable alternative to petrol cars. Available reports an studies indicate clearly that the costs of purchasing a new electric vehicle are much higher than a vehicle powered with conventional fuel. Therefore, the expectations of the customers themselves regarding the costs of the operation of such a vehicle, including the prices of spare parts, get the fundamental meaning at the stage of purchasing decisions.
The article attempts to signal the issue of the impact of the costs of operational repairs of passenger cars on the development of electromobility in Poland. The considerations were based on proprietary simulations of costs, including the comparison of the same vehicle model equipped with both conventional engine and ecological propulsion units. The aim of the article is to draw attention to the essence of the research issues undertaken and to answer the question, whether in reality the costs of operational repairs of electric vehicles are much lower than those that are fuelled with conventional fuels. The presented research results can certainly be helpful in the purchasing decision-making processes both for individual and group clients.

A great prelude to tasting, the soil of the vineyard that produces this juice has a great historical oddity. The story goes that 100 years ago there was a train wreck that dumped tons of Hawaiian lava rock into the soil all over the vineyard. I hear you can still pull pieces from the base of the vines. The picture speaks for itself.
I found the nose very classy, yet simple. I wonder if that's the debate Michael McCay was talking about? I love that this wine is not trying to do too much. Oak and a hint of bramble berry. Everything is subtle. Very mild at first but definitely present. Just as you think its a "dud" like a firework the spices begin to turn up their amplitude. She's just making sure that you are paying attention to her. That little coy game lasts for quite a while. Very cool adventure. Simple was a good call but classy and elegant may be more fitting. I wish I could afford the price point to store a few for 2018.

Gov't defends economic plan but Labour raises jobs 'worry'
The Government has said it is helping "millions across the country to succeed and achieve their full potential" despite the latest jobs figures showing more people out of work as unemployment rose again to 1.85 million.
Thanks to our long term economic plan we have already seen two million more people in jobs since 2010. On top of that, today's figures show job vacancies at a near record high - evidence of the continued confidence of British businesses, and potential for further growth in the UK economy.
Our one nation government is helping millions across the country to succeed and achieve their full potential. I was particularly pleased to see that wages are continuing to rise - meaning that hardworking people will see a real difference in their pay packets.
– Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith
His Labour counterpart, though, said the latest figures were "worrying", highlighting a rise in youth unemployment as of particular concern.
The rise in unemployment for a second month in a row is worrying and shows we cannot afford to be complacent about the recovery. With productivity stagnating, David Cameron and George Osborne must take bolder action to raise jobseekers' skill levels to get more back into work and help build the high-skilled workforce Britain needs.
The rise in youth unemployment highlights a real danger that young people are being left behind. Ministers must urgently deliver more high-quality apprenticeships to give young people the skills they need to get a job and build a future.

Latest figures suggest jobs market may be 'levelling off'
The latest increase of unemployment "strengthens (the) possibility" the jobs market may be levelling off, the Office for National Statistics has cautioned.
This is now the second consecutive time we've reported fewer people in work on the quarter. While it's still too early to conclude that the jobs market is levelling off, these figures certainly strengthen that possibility. Growth in pay, however, remains solid.

Q: Where is information about Storage Pools and Virtual Disks stored in Windows Server? Environment: Azure, Windows 2012 R2 VMs.
I've created a Storage Pool of 3 disks (VHDs), striped, a Virtual Disk on top of it, and a volume. Then I've stopped this VM, detached these VHDs and attached them to another brand new VM. When second VM started, the Storage Pool and Virtual Disk appeared automatically, and even a volume was automatically created (with different volume letter, but anyway).
So, where is information about Storage Pool is stored? On one of the disks, on all of them (duplicated) ?

A: In Windows Server, Storage pool & space informations are stored on every physical (or VHD in your case) disks as metadata in a "Database"
There is a copie of the "Storage Space database" on every drive of the pool.
Unfortunately, there are very few public available documents about this :

This song solidifies my affirmation to the true Jesus and my complete resignation to entertaining any thought whatsoever of any possibility that my God would, or even could, eternally separate His creation from His Love – my understanding is that any such a demonstration of unforgiveness and damnation would undermine the very notion of both the gospel message of Jesus' victory at the cross, along with the truth of an all-loving, all-gracious God.
'Hades', 'Sheol', 'Gehenna' and other ancient words are used in the bible which none of actually ever meant or were supposed to mean 'hell'. Tertullian perpetuated the false doctrine of hell in the 3rd century and it has been perpetuated by many others since – to the point where most modern bibles are tainted with the mistranslation of these certain words.
The story of Hell is fabricated; the Love of the Father is not.


The Key of Terror is a special item dropped by Xah'Rith the Keywarden, a Unique monster who can be found somewhere on the Stonefort level in Act Three.
On Inferno difficulty this monster *may* drop the Key of Hate; one of the three keys required to create the Portal Device, which is required to complete the Infernal Machine event.
Obtain the three keys and the Infernal Machine plan for the Blacksmith.
Craft three keys, one of each, into the Portal Device.
The Realm of Discord. Battle King Leoric and Maghda for a chance to obtain the Writhing Spine.
The Realm of Chaos. Battle Ghom and Rakanoth for a chance to obtain the Devil's Fang.
The Realm of Turmoil. Battle Siege Breaker and Zoltun Kulle for a chance to obtain the Vengeful Eye.
Take the three demonic organs to Covetous Shen and craft them into a Hellfire Ring.
Note that steps 1-3 must be repeated multiple times, since you must create at least three red portals to obtain all three demonic organs. Furthermore, unless you are playing on Monster Power 10, the keywardens do not always drop keys and the uber bosses do not always drop the demonic organs.
