Kolkata: After running 300 services on Friday, Metro Railway now plans to run more trains in stretches where there is demand. After a survey, Metro realised there's less demand in the Mahanyak Uttam Kumar (MUK)-Kavi Subhash (KS) stretch than in the one between MUK and Dum Dum.
After the third platform and Y-siding became operational at MUK, 300 services were possible. It also went on a rationalisation drive and reduced the number of services in the MUK-KS stretch. After introduction of 300 services by minister Rajen Gohain on Friday, Metro general manager M C Chauhan said more services would be provided wherever needed. "We will raise number of services in MUK-KS stretch. Number of services in MUK-Dum Dum stretch may also increase," Metro spokesperson Indrani Banerjee said.

Inside the base of the statue they have a small museum, art galleries, and meeting rooms for ambassadors and foreign dignitaries.
Why so controversial?Three reasons: First, as one of our taxi drivers said when we asked his opinion, the money could have been spent on something more significant that could benefit the people, such as better hospitals. Second, Senegal is a tolerant Sufi Muslim country, but did the female figure's breast really need to be exposed? And third: it was built by the North Koreans! In spite of these issues, it's still a moving statue to see.
A Dogon mask at Dakar museum we visited on Wednesday.
We visited a #slave fort yesterday on Goree Island… Very creepy & chilling realizing the masters lived directly above the dungeons overstuffed with slaves below. April says the slave castles she saw in Ghana were much bigger and this was a smaller operation.
Goree Island was such a fascinating, relaxing place to visit. Food was great too.

'I love you': John Travolta, Kelsey Grammer, other friends remember Kirstie Alley
by: Laura Morrison
(WJW) — Following the death of longtime actor Kirstie Alley from cancer, many of her friends and colleagues shared their feelings publicly Monday night.
The 71-year-old's good friend John Travolta, whom she starred with in 1989's "Look Who's Talking," made clear this isn't the end.
'Cheers' star Kirstie Alley dies at 71, family says
"Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I've ever had. I love you Kirstie," he said in an Instagram post. "I know we will see each other again."

Kelsey Grammer, who of course starred on "Cheers" with Alley, offered a short statement to "Variety" regarding her passing: "I always believed grief for a public figure is a private matter, but I will say, I loved her."
In her later years, Alley appeared on Ryan Murphy's series "Scream Queens." And Jamie Lee Curtis, said she loved getting to know her during that time.
OSU's C.J. Stroud named Heisman finalist
"I've just heard the sad news that Kirstie Alley has died. She was a great comic foil in @tvscreamqueens and a beautiful mama bear in her very real life," she recalled in an Instagram post. "She helped me buy onesies for my family that year for Christmas. We agreed to disagree about some things but had a mutual respect and connection. Sad news."
An actor who appeared with Alley on her show "Veronica's Closet," had kind words for her and her family.
"I just head the news about Kirstie Alley," said Ever Carradine on Twitter. "I've not spoke w/ her forever, but have her to thank for launching my career. She told me I was funny every single day on Veronica's Closet, and I believed her. She threw the best parties and gave the parakeets as our wrap gift. Godspeed."
The Kansas-born actor was reportedly surrounded by her family at the time of her passing.

BISMARCK, N.D. — U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says in a television ad released last week that 300,000 North Dakota residents with pre-existing medical conditions couldn't get health insurance before former President Barack Obama's health care law.
Health care is a big issue in midterm races across the country, and has become especially charged in North Dakota, where Heitkamp's re-election race against Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer is seen as critical to control of the Senate.
Heitkamp's ad features a North Dakota woman, Denise Sandvick of Killdeer, speaking to the camera to ask Cramer why he wants to undo protections in the Affordable Care Act for people with pre-existing conditions. Heitkamp says in the ad that Sandvick suffers from heart disease while also mentioning Heitkamp's own battle with breast cancer. Heitkamp herself does not mention Obama's health care law.
HEITKAMP: "Like 300,000 North Dakotans, Denise has a pre-existing condition. That used to mean no health insurance."
THE FACTS: Heitkamp is about right on the number of North Dakotans who have pre-existing conditions, but she overstates the number who wouldn't have been able to get health insurance.
Heitkamp's estimate on the number of North Dakotans with pre-existing conditions is a bit higher than the state's figure of 275,000. The senator's estimate comes from the left-leaning Center for American Progress, but both the center and North Dakota's insurance department worked from an analysis by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
But the number of those people who might have had problems getting health insurance before the federal overhaul __ and who would have trouble if it were to be repealed __ is far smaller. That's because most of the state's residents are insured through their employer or the government.
That leaves about 60,000 who were on private insurance — and that's the group that, before the ACA, was most at risk of being denied coverage if they had a pre-existing condition. The state had an additional 60,000 people who don't have health insurance, but it's unclear how many in that group have a pre-existing condition.
"In no way did I ever say half the people in North Dakota weren't covered by health insurance," she said. Heitkamp said she meant 300,000 people would be in danger of losing pre-existing health coverage.
Heitkamp's campaign said in an email the intent of ad was to highlight the impact of repealing the Affordable Care Act.


Malacañan Palace as viewed from the Pasig River.
The Malacañan Palace (officially Malacañan Palace, colloquially "Malacañang" Filipino: Palasyo ng Malakanyang ; Spanish: Palacio de Malacañan) is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the Philippines.
The original structure was built in 1750 by Don Luís Rocha as a summer house along the Pasig River. It was purchased by the state in 1825 as the summer residence for the Spanish Governor-General. After the June 3, 1863 earthquake destroyed the Palacio del Governador (Governor's Palace) in the walled city of Manila, it became the Governor-General's official residence. After sovereignty over the Islands was ceded to the United States of America in 1898, it became the residence of the American Governors, with Gen. Wesley Merritt being the first.
Since 1863, the Palace has been occupied by eighteen Spanish Governors General, fourteen American Military and Civil Governors, and later the Presidents of the Philippines. The Palace had been enlarged and refurbished several times since 1750; the grounds were expanded to include neighboring estates, and many buildings were demolished and constructed during the Spanish and American periods. Most recently, the Palace complex was again drastically remodeled and extensively rebuilt during the rule of Ferdinand Marcos. Among the presidents of the present Fifth Republic, only Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has actually lived in the main Palace, with all others residing in nearby properties that form part of the larger Palace complex.
The official etymology word from the 1930s says the name comes from the Tagalog phrase "May lakán diyán" ("there is a nobleman there"), and as it was originally the home of a wealthy Spanish aristocrat merchant by the river.
The Spaniards meanwhile claimed the name came from the term "mámalakaya", referring to the fishermen who once laid out their catch on the river bend where the Palace now stands. A more mundane claim is that the Palace was christened after the old name of street along which it was located, Calzada de Malacañáng (English: Malacañang Street).
The Rocha family meanwhile holds that the term "Malacañáng" is directly attributed to Luís Rocha. In a 1972 interview by Ileana Maramag, Antonio Rocha related that his ancestor would take siesta in the house that he had built and that his Sikh watchman would hush any noisy passers-by. The watchman would say "Malakí iyán" ("he is [a] big [man]") whilst gesturing towards the house.
Another probable origin is the name being a point of reference for ancient water traffic on the Pasig. When heading downstream, the area of the present-day Palace is on the right bank of the Pasig, and the Tagalog word malakánan means "of the right." The river is somewhat long and meandering, with a lengthy right bank, and its only division is at the Isla de Convalecencia located a little further downstream, hence the need to distinguish between its left and right forks.
The Palace façade featured on the briefing room signage.
In current political and common parlance, "Malacañang" and "the Palace" has become metonyms for the Presidency, the executive branch and by extension the national government as a whole.
Whatever the origin, the word Malacañang is indisputably Tagalog. During the Spanish Colonial Era, Spanish language books published during the era spelled the word as Malacañang (not Malacañán). Early Spanish plans for the palace spell the name as Malacañang. The name was allegedly changed to "Malacañan" during the American occupation of the Philippines from 1898 until 1946, despite the fact that "-ng" as a final sound is very familiar in the English language. However, after the inauguration of President Ramon Magsaysay on December 30, 1953, the Philippine government changed the name to Malacañang: Residence of the President of the Philippines in honor of Palace's historical roots.
During the administration of President Corazon Aquino, for historical reasons, government policy has been to make the distinction between "Malacañan Palace", official residence of the President and "Malacañang", Office of the President. The restoration of the designation "Malacañan Palace" was reflected in official stationery, and signage, including the often seen backdrop in the press room modeled after the White House sign. In practice, the heading Malacañan Palace is reserved for official documents personally signed by the President, while those delegated to and signed by subordinates use the heading Malacañang.
The Spanish Captains-General (before the independence of New Spain, from which the Philippines was directly governed) and the later Governors-General originally resided at the Palacio del Gobernador (Governor's Palace) fronting the city square in the walled city of Intramuros in Manila. Malacañan Palace was originally built as a casita (or country house) in 1750 – made of adobe, wood, with interiors panelled with finest narra and molave. It sits in a 16 hectare land owned by Spanish aristocrat Don Antonio V. Rocha. It was subsequently sold to Col. José Miguel Formento in November 16, 1802 for a sum of thousand pesos. Later it was sold to the government upon his death in January 1825. It became the temporary summer residence of the Governors-General when the heat became unbearable in Intramuros with its gardens and a verandah along the wide river.
Rafael de Echague y Berminghan, previously Governor of Puerto Rico, became the first Spanish Governor-General to reside in the Palace. Finding the place too small, a wooden two-story building was added to the back of the original structure, as well as smaller buildings for aides, guards and porters, as well as stables, carriage sheds and a boat landing for river-borne visitors. Between 1875 and 1879, reconstruction and expansion resumed after the Palace was hit by more earthquakes, typhoons and fire. An 1869 earthquake hit Malacañang, thus, repairs are made urgent. Posts and supports were repaired or replaced. Balconies are reinforced. Cornices are provided for the roof. Roofing was replaced with G.I. roofing (formerly tile roofs) to lighten loads to the walls. The interior was refurbished. By the end of Spanish rule in 1898, Malacañan Palace was a rambling complex of mostly wooden buildings that had sliding capiz windows, patios and azoteas.
When the Philippines came under the American sovereignty following the Spanish–American War, Malacañan Palace became the residence of the American Governor-General. Gen. Wesley Merritt became the first American Military Governor to reside at the Palace in 1898, while William Howard Taft became the first Civil Governor resident in 1901. They continued to improve and enlarge the Palace, buying more land and reclaiming more of the Pasig River. From 1875 up to 1879, renovations were conducted. Left and right wings were added. An azotea facing the river was joined to the existing azotea. A staircase was transferred to the center of the foyer; and galleries were built around the stairway where the public could circulate during crowded receptions. Ground level was raised above the flood line, replacing wood with concrete, and beautifying the interiors with hardwood panelling and adding magnificent chandeliers.
Emilio Aguinaldo, recognized as the first Filipino president but of the revolutionary government, the First Philippine Republic, established during the Spanish rule. He did not reside but was later taken to the Palace by the Americans as a political prisoner for a few weeks in 1901 after his capture in Palanan, Isabela. He resided in is private home as president, now the Aguinaldo Shrine, in Kawit, Cavite.
Malacañan Palace survived the Second World War, the only major government building left standing after the Bombing of Manila. Only the southwest side of the Palace—which would have been the State Dining Room and its service area—was damaged by shelling. During the Second World War, in 1942, Japanese turned Malacañang into a gilded prison. Quezon moved his seat to Corregidor, the headquarters of General Douglas MacArthur.
The longest residents of the Palace were President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda, who resided there from 1965 to 1986. Following a student uprising that nearly breached the Palace gates in the early 1970s, Martial Law was declared, and the Palace complex and its surrounding neighbourhood was closed to the public.
Several changes were implemented to beautify the Malacañan Palace. Servant quarters was transformed — today what we know as Premier Guest House. The veranda overlooking Pasig River was walled up to become the new Maharlika Hall. Across the river, a guest house was constructed. It is situated on the grounds of Malacañang Golf Club. It is then called Bahay Pangarap.
When Marcos was overthrown during the 1986 People Power Revolution, the Palace complex was stormed by protesters who roamed the grounds. The international worldwide media subsequently exposed the excesses of the Marcos family that had hours before fled to Hawaii, including Mrs. Marcos' infamous collection of thousands of shoes. The main Palace was later reopened to the public and was converted into a museum for three years of nobody in position due Ferdinand's responsible martial decree.
After his exile, a lifestyle of excess was revealed. Some includes 15 square feet of sunken bathtub with mirrored ceiling and an altar with 19th century religious statuary of ivory with gold-embroidered robes.
In an effort to distance herself from the decadence of the Fourth Republic, President Corazon Aquino chose to live in the nearby Arlegui Mansion but held government affairs in the Executive Building. Her successor, President Fidel Ramos, followed suit. After the Second EDSA Revolution, security in the Palace was tightened due to attempts against the government. His First Lady restored Bahay Pangarap, and later it became the extension of Malacañang Ceremonial Hall. The chapel was also retained despite different religious points-of-view (former President Fidel V. Ramos was a Protestant).
Aquino's son, the current President Benigno Aquino III, resides in Bahay Pangarap, a guest villa on the south bank of the Pasig River across the main Palace, in which he works and entertains, and keeps open to the public.
The Malacañan Palace contains 10 current main existing halls some restored from historical times.
Official visitors to Malacañan Palace use the Entrance Hall. Its floor and walls are of beige Philippine marble. Straight from the entrance hall are the doors to the Grand Staircase leading to the state reception rooms. To its left is the Palace chapel and the passage to the right leads to Heroes Hall.
The painting on the right begins with the Battle of Tirad Pass and Gregorio Del Pilar and other events of the Filipino-American War, the Independence Movement under Osmeña and Quezon, events of the Japanese occupation, and the Presidents of the Philippines all the way to the Marcoses, President Corazon Aquino, and President Ramos.
Official portraits of all Philippine Presidents are on the walls, from Emilio Aguinaldo, President of the Malolos Republic, to Benigno Aquino III, painted by Fernando Amorsolo, García Llamas and other noted artists. The first portrait of President Arroyo in this hall was a photograph taken by Rupert Jacinto. That of President Fidel Ramos is unique on three counts – it is on a narra plank rather than on canvas, the likeness as well as the decorations along the sides are painstakingly singed on the wood and it was a gift of the artist, Gaycer Masilang, a prisoner serving a life sentence.
Two paintings dominate the room. The larger is a fiesta scene by National Artist Carlos Botong Francisco – a pair of tinikling dancers, a serenade, churchgoers, boatmen, and other vignettes of rural life. Commissioned for the Manila Hotel, it originally hung in one of the hotel lobbies but was transferred to Malacañan Palace in 1975. The other painting is an early Amorsolo rural scene.
Richard Nixon visits Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda and son Ferdinand, Jr. in Malacañan Palace.
... I was ushered into the office of General Arthur MacArthur, the father of the hero of the Battle of the Philippines. ... [The interpreter]... told General MacArthur in English what I had said in Spanish, namely, that I was instructed by General Mascardo to find out if General Aguinaldo had been captured. The American General, who stood erect and towered over my head, raised his hand without saying a word and pointing to the room across the hall, made a motion for me to go in there. Trembling with emotion, I slowly walked through the hall toward the room hoping against hope that I would find no one inside. At the door two American soldiers in uniform, with gloves and bayonets, stood on guard. As I entered the room, I saw General Aguinaldo the man whom I had considered as the personification of my own beloved country, the man whom I had seen at the height of his glory surrounded by generals and soldiers, statesmen and politicians, the rich and the poor, respected and honored by all. I now saw that same man alone in a room, a prisoner of war! It is impossible for me to describe what I felt, but as I write these lines, forty-two years later, my heart throbs as fast as it did then. I felt that the whole world had crumbled; that all my hopes and dreams for my country were gone forever! It took me some time before I could collect myself, but finally,I was able to say in Tagalog, almost in a whisper, to my General: Good evening, Mr. President.
President Ramon Magsaysay (1953–1957) at the Presidential Study, Malacañan Palace.
Mrs. Marcos decorated the room in mint green. She would sit on the antique French sofa and the visitors on the armchairs. On rare occasions, small concerts were held here, featuring famous Filipino and foreign musicians.
The room immediately behind the Music Room was set up by Mrs. Marcos as her office. It later became President Fidel Ramos' private office. The room beyond was originally a small sitting room and was converted by President Joseph Estrada into his own office. President Arroyo decided to use the room as her office at first. Today, the room is used by the President to receive visitors.
The Palace has always been impressive, particularly the grand reception rooms, but the Presidents' families have not always been happy over the domestic concerns of bedroom size, privacy, closet space, ventilation, color scheme, and so on. Each new presidential couple took their pick of the available bedrooms, each President frequently avoiding the bedroom of his predecessor.
A President with many children or grandchildren usually had problems, particularly when a foreign head of state arrived, expecting to be invited to stay in the Palace such as when Indonesian President Sukarno visited President Quirino shortly after the war, like many personalities who have stayed beforehand in Malacañang over the years. It is recounted that the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, dropped by in the 1920s to play polo. American and Asian heads of state have stayed at Malacañan Palace on visits to Manila.
Bedroom Suites. The bedroom suites (one baptized by Mrs. Marcos as the King's Room and another, the Queen's Room) open from the former private dining room, between which is a small sky-lit room that used to be a courtyard. These are furnished with large canopy beds, gilded wardrobes and the like. The King's Room leads to the balcony over the main entrance, from which Pope John Paul II blessed a waiting crowd during his 1981 Philippine visit and which President Arroyo confides was her bedroom as the young daughter of President Diosdado Macapagal.
The Spanish period "Malacañan Palace" probably centered on the small, open-roofed inner court that leads to all areas of the private quarters. The rooms opening to the Grand Staircase were the Dining and Living Rooms and guest suites of the Marcos period. These became meeting rooms during the Ramos and Estrada administrations and reverted to being the private quarters of the presidential family under President Arroyo.
The Old Executive Building now Kalayaan Hall, now the oldest part of the Palace, was constructed in 1920 Governor General Francis Burton Harrison. Till then, the Governors General had to commute daily to their office at the Ayuntamiento Building in Intramuros. Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood was the last chief executive to hold office there and the first in Malacañan Palace. It was their first concrete structure in the palace grounds and was enlarged over the years until 1939. It combines the histories of the American, Commonwealth, and Second and Third Republics, on the grounds of the picadero pavilion of the Spanish period.
The Presidential Museum and Library, formerly Malacañang Museum, the official repository of memorabilia of the President of the Philippines, is located in Kalayaan Hall. It was established in 2004 when the Presidential Museum and Malacañang Library were merged into the Malacañang Museum the renamed to its present name in 2010. The Gallery of Presidents features exhibits and galleries showcasing the heritage of the Presidents beginning from Emilio Aguinaldo to the present. It is composed of objects and memorabilia – including clothing, personal effects, gifts, publications and documents of former presidents as well as the artwork and furniture from the Palace collections.
The former bedroom of Imee Marcos had an antique gilded arch made by Isabelo Tampingco, carved to represent a coconut tree complete with fruit and leaves. Shelves held her collection of 19th century French porcelain dolls. At one time, now-Senator Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. lived elsewhere and used his room to practise golf. Nets were hung on all walls to catch flying balls.
The current Administration Building or Mabini Hall on Ycaza Street is the large structure to the left upon entering Gate 4. It began as the Budget Building upon the creation of the Budget Commission (now the Department of Budget and Management) in 1936. After World War II, it temporarily housed the Supreme Court, as the Ayuntamiento building wasdestroyed during the Battle for Manila in February 1945. After the war, it was later expanded with wings and top floors added. It houses the Office of the Executive Secretary, some units of the Department of Budget and Management, and offices of Presidential assistants and advisers. Some offices in this building, particularly those of the Office of Media Affairs, were invaded by an unruly mob on the evening of February 25, 1986, during the storming of Malacañang that capped the People Power Revolution. After it was gutted in a fire in 1992, plans to demolish it and build a high-rise building in its place were completely dropped due to budgetary constraints. President Fidel V. Ramos supervised its reconstruction into a spartan but well-ventilated and lit office complex, and renamed it Mabini Hall, after Apolinario Mabini.
In 2003, President Gloria Macapagal–Arroyo renamed this building Bonifacio Hall in honor of Andrés Bonifacio. The private office of current President Benigno S. Aquino III is located at the Aquino Room in Bonifacio Hall, a building . After the building's structural integrity was called into question, Aquino's office was temporarily moved to the Presidential Study on June 21, 2011.
President Sergio Osmeña (1944–1946) and his family at the Malacañang gardens.
At the main entrance is the large balete tree with a reputed resident kapre. Usually lit with capiz shell globe lights, it is hung with multicolored star lanterns during Christmas. One time only, it was lit with thousands of flickering fireflies, captured from some distant towns where fireflies still abounded and released as a grand ephemeral gesture of a present for the then First Lady.
Malacañang Park, directly across the river from Malacañan Palace, adjoins the Mabini Shrine and the former quarters of the Presidential Security Command and of the National Intelligence and Security Agency. It boasts a Recreation Hall, a small golf course and the guesthouse Bahay Pangarap.
In the subsequent presidency of Ferdinand E. Marcos, Malacañang Park became increasingly identified with the Presidential Guards. It was during the Marcos administration that the Bureau of Animal Industry building became the headquarters of the Guards (known today as Presidential Security Group (PSG)). General Fabián Ver gained jurisdiction over some of the historic buildings, including the recreation hall, which became (and remains) the PSG gymnasium, and the community assembly hall which was turned into the presidential escorts building. Malacañang Park, though, has always been a recreational park and not a military facility. The facilities and area of the PSG are distinct from the demarcation of Malacañang Park.
In 2008, the historic Bahay Pangarap was essentially demolished by Conrad Onglao and rebuilt in contemporary style (retaining the basic shape of the roof as a nod to the previous historic structure), replacing, as well, the Commonwealth-era swimming pool and pergolas with a modern swimming pool. It was inaugurated on December 19, 2008 by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at a Christmas reception for the Cabinet. Administrative Order Nº. 251, issued on December 2008, placed the administration of Bahay Pangarap under the Internal House Affairs Office of the Office of the President of the Philippines.
President Benigno S. Aquino III became the first President of the Philippines to make Bahay Pangarap his official residence, although previous presidents have stayed there. Despite living at his private residence at the start of his term, he has since occupied the house as of August 2010.
Laperal Mansion or the Arlegui Guest House is a remodeled and enlarged 1930s mansion located along Arlegui Street, half a block away. When World War II broke out, it served at one point as the residence of the speaker of the National Assembly established by the Japanese puppet state, Second Philippine Republic, Benigno S. Aquino, Sr., the grandfather of current Philippine president Benigno S. Aquino III. When the war ended, it served temporarily as the National Library. Around the early postwar era that the Laperal family acquired the property. In 1975, the property was seized by the presidential security forces under Marcos for "security reasons". The house became the office of the Presidential Economic Staff (precursor of today's National Economic and Development Authority) before former First Lady Imelda Marcos decided to expand the house to grander proportions to become a guesthouse, giving the building two turrets when it used to have one.
Legarda Mansion was built in 1937 by Doña Filomena Roces y de Legarda, one of the first art deco houses built in Manila. In this house, Alejandro Legarda, the son of Doña Filomena, lived with his wife Ramona Hernández, and their four children. Doña Ramona was well known for her lavish parties. The Legarda house is a tribute to Doña Ramona (Moning), as it houses La Cocina de Tita Moning, a fine dining restaurant that aims to recreate the wonderful parties of Manila's most elegant era, using heirloom recipes of the Legardas, served on antique china, glassware, and silverware. The house includes living room with paintings by Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo and Juan Luna, Don Alejandro's collection of antique radio equipment, a dressing room showcasing the memorabilia of the Legarda women, and the dining room where banquets are held.
The marker of Malacanan Palace was installed in 1941 at Malacañan Palace site, San Miguel, Manila. It was installed by Philippines Historical Committee (now National Historical Commission of the Philippines).

M2M and IoT have created smart factories in the manufacturing industry. This is having a positive impact on productivity and profitability alike. As the cost of smart sensors has reduced, the use of them for gathering information on factory floors has increased.
According to a recent McKinsey study, the greatest value from IoT for manufacturers will be in operations optimisation, making the various processes within the factory more efficient. This includes using sensors, rather than human judgment to adjust the performance of machinery and data collection from production to amend processes. Essentially, by remotely tracking and monitoring machinery, output can be optimised, and downtime avoided, reducing costs.
Using sensor technology, manufacturers can track serialised and non-serialised components as they are received, warehoused and used to construct sub-assemblies and finished goods. Traceability of raw materials/parts is essential and new technologies are being engaged to track them from goods-in right through the manufacturing process to goods-out.
Monitoring can help reduce costs in inventory, ordering raw materials/parts on demand on a just-in-time basis. Pulling relevant data into one single piece of software can help factory management create a dashboard of key measures right across core processes.

Megan Shipman and Risa Mei on voicing the award-winning anime movie Sing a Bit of Harmony
English voice actors for Sing a Bit of Harmony - Megan Shipman and Risa Mei - discuss recording the award winning anime movie for Funimation
Sing a Bit of Harmony
Sing a Bit of Harmony is Funimation's latest anime movie that's been impressing critics and fans since releasing in Japan in October 2021. Directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, the film follows a disguised AI named Shion who tries desperately to make the loner high school student Satomi happy by using catchy songs and friendship. In celebration of Sing a Bit of Harmony's international release, we got the chance to talk to the English language voice actors for the dubbed version of the film – Megan Shipman and Risa Mei.
Set in a near-future version of Japan with robots wandering around, Sing a Bit of Harmony is beautifully animated and a wholesome story. Shipman (Attack on Titan) voices Shion, the AI experiment that infiltrates a high school to complete her ultimate mission – make Satomi happy. Mei (Genshin Impact) portrays Satomi in the animated movie, the protagonist of the finger-snapping film who is desperate to keep Shion's identity secret in order to protect her mom's job at a robotics company.
In our interview with Shipman and Mei, we discuss what goes into recording a dub for anime, the similarities between Sing a Bit of Harmony and Disney, and unpack why this film has already made so many waves in the award circuit.
The Digital Fix: Hello. How are you guys?
Risa Mei: Good. Thank you. How are you doing?
I'm good. Thanks. So I love Sing a Bit of Harmony. I thought it was very sweet, very wholesome, very touching. It's also won quite a lot of awards already. Why do you think that so many people are drawn to the story?
Megan Shipman: I think it's a very universal kind of story. Even though there's these elements of things that maybe, you know, are a little more advanced or technologies are more advanced, and we don't have things quite like that. I think the idea behind wanting to belong and fit in and have your kind of group of people who understand you is universal. Like that is a feeling that I think everyone has felt. And so I think that's why it probably leaves such a mark on when you watch it, and it makes it kind of memorable.
Yeah. Speaking about your character, Shion, there were some scenes where you didn't have any music at all. And you were just singing.
MS: Oh yeah [laughs].
What was that like, recording like that? Was it a little bit awkward?
MS: It was interesting because I recorded my dialogue and my music separately. So even in the parts, like when she just kind of breaks out into song randomly, we kind of didn't do that while we were doing the dialogue. But we were like, 'and then she sings here. Moving on.' [laughs]
Then I would revisit it after the fact when we were doing the music with Brina. And so yeah, it was really fun, because then you really got to focus on making it like perfect, and wonderful, and spontaneous sounding even though it's not spontaneous for me, because I know I'm doing it. But it was really, really fun. Just getting to do a character like Shion who just has… I like to say that she has no social cues, but like in a very lovable way. She means the best. So yeah, it was fun. It was really fun.
Risa, your character Satomi. I think that she is probably the most relatable character in the whole film.
RM: Absolutely
Yeah, especially for high school girls; I feel you can all relate to that moment. What do you think young women especially will feel when they see Satomi on screen?
RM: I think that they…Well, as you were saying, they'll definitely find her relatable. She's very, very hardworking. And she's very, very family-oriented. You know? She loves her mom. Well, she loves taking care of the house and the family. So I think that, yeah, I think that a lot of young women growing up, especially the younger younger crowd, might be struggling with fitting in society as well as fitting in with friend groups. And so I think they'll be able to see part of themselves in her.
Yeah, definitely. Besides your work with film, you also voice a character in the videogame Genshin Impact.
RM: I do!
I've always wanted to know, is there any difference when you're doing voice work for videogames as opposed to film?
RM: Yeah, definitely. I feel like in videogames…well, I feel like it changes across the different genres of film as well. And you know what style it is. Because even when you say film, it depends on what type of film if it's a live-action dub, if it's like an animation, they're very, very different, and then even videogames depending on what type of videogame. Like The Last of Us, I probably wouldn't be treating that the same way I would treat like Genshin Impact, you know. [laughs] Although I'm not in The Last of Us…but, yeah, they're very different.
Drawn stories: Beat anime series
I feel like, especially with Genshin Impact borrowing from anime themes. There's definitely a similarity in performances between recording for a type of video game like that, and then something like Sing a Bit of Harmony. But also kind of In that respect, Sing a Bit of Harmony is also a little bit more grounded with performances. And then the same thing with Genshin Impact because it also depends on which enemies you are talking about in the game. Some enemies, which are a little bit more comedic, like you will exaggerate a little bit more. So yeah, there are many similarities and definitely a couple of differences.
Speaking about anime and anime genres, Shion and Satomi both have a soft spot for shoujo anime. Now I want to know, especially from you, Megan, how did you prepare for that considering Shion's extreme personality? Did you watch any shoujo anime yourself? I know you've previously voiced for Attack on Titan, and Fairy Tail – which aren't really in that genre wheelhouse.
MS: Oh yeah! Well, I'm a huge nerd, to begin with. I love anime. And I really love watching idol shows, and I love watching magical girl shows. Those are the things I'm always drawn to because they're pretty to look at. They're fun. You don't have to think very hard about them. And sometimes, they have some fun themes that are really emotional. And so I already like stuff like that.
I remember when I got the audition sides for Shion I, I said to myself, I was like, 'she just sounds like a Disney princess.' Like she immediately just reminded me of this magical princess where nothing could go wrong, and everything's wonderful. It was really funny to me because it reminded me a lot of the Disney movie, Enchanted that came out. Yeah, she just like pops up in New York, and she's like, 'hello'. And everyone's like, 'whoa, she is so weird.' Because it's like, so not normal, but it's not bad. It's just usually people aren't that happy and trusting. So it puts people off but not in a bad way. But rather, they react to her like,' Oh, that's weird.' But yeah, I immediately got that kind of a vibe from her.
Sing along! Best musicals
When I read the audition for Shion, I was like, 'Oh, she's so clueless. I love her.' She is just like, 'hi, hi, how are you?' She pops around, and she just wants to help, and you have to accept her like, 'oh, okay, well, you're gonna help even if they don't want you to help'.
So yeah, it was really fun reading for her because it's so funny having a character that's so happy and that doesn't understand 'Oh, that's too much'. But then having her in this movie, where everyone else is very real and grounded, and their reads were very grounded, was also fun.
I was just, 'hi! Hi!' like a golden retriever or something. I didn't have to necessarily make it sound… I guess real innocence because her reality is happy all the time. Like she's had 12 cups of coffee or something. It was pretty fun getting to act off of people.
Yeah, this film is very fun. And I think there's a lot of joy, especially in the very serious moments as well. It just made me very happy watching it. And I wanted to know, what were your favourite bits to record in this film?
MS: I think for me because I started as a singer, I have a music degree, and all that stuff, so anytime I get to work on music is great. I've worked on music a lot at Funimation. I've been really lucky that I've worked with Brina [Palencia] (the movie's English ADR song director) on adapting things as well. But anytime I get to actually like sing the things that we adapt, it's like really, really fun.
So just all of the songs are really fun, and, no spoilers, but there's a lot of stuff at the end. There were some songs and moments at the end that were really fun to do. That I think they turned out beautiful. And also just the moments in the acting. There's heartfelt moments and also really hilarious moments, even at the very, very end, and it's really fun. That's what I loved about doing it.
High school is tough: Best teen movies
RM: Yeah, and I loved jumping in and listening in to what everybody else has done, like with their lines. Because sometimes you know, it's totally unexpected, you'll hear it in the Japanese and then all of a sudden the English comes up, and you're just like,' oh that's way too perfect.' So, both the sub and the dub are quite amazing to watch both kind of in their own respects.
So yeah, and then also again to like touch on the music, because I also grew up with a musical background, also have a musical degree, and coming in and then being able to listen to some of the songs while previewing the clips, it was it's so beautiful. It's so moving, and I feel like music is transcendental. It crosses languages. It's borderless. It was really, really nice to experience that while recording.
Thank you so much. It was lovely meeting both of you. And I can't wait for everyone to see this film.
Both: Thanks!

Fujitsu SaaS Hack Sends Govt. of Japan Scrambling
Author: Elizabeth Montalbano
Tech giant disables ProjectWEB cloud-based collaboration platform after threat actors gained access and nabbed files belonging to several state entities.
Threat actors have stolen files from several official government agencies of Japan by hacking into Fujitsu's software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform and gaining access to its systems.
The Japan-based tech giant temporarily disabled ProjectWEB enterprise after learning of the attack, which is known to have affected the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism; the Cabinet Secretariat; and the Narita Airport so far but may have had other victims, according to a post on analyst firm Recorded Future's The Record.
ProjectWEB is a a cloud-based enterprise collaboration and file-sharing platform that Fujitsu has operated since the mid-2000s, and which a number of agencies within the Japan government currently use.
Fujitsu's Cabinet Cyber Security Center (NISC), which is investigating the incident, said the breach was discovered on Monday and issued a release the following day with guidance to all government agencies to take countermeasures to see if they are using ProjectWEB.
If so, NISC advised agencies to investigate to see if they also were breached, according to a statement posted online Tuesday (PDF), and to report unauthorized access or data leaks.
Platform Disabled
Fujitsu decided to suspend the operation of ProjectWEB on Tuesday following pressure from NISC, apologizing "for the great concern and inconvenience" the breach caused its customers.
"We will continue to work on investigating and analyzing the scope of impact and the causes of all projects that use [ProjectWEB] with the cooperation of our customers," according to the statement (translated from Japanese). "We take this case very seriously and will continue to consult with the relevant authorities and make every effort to support the victims. that's all Inquiries regarding this matter."
Though Fujitsu did not disclose details about nor the scope of what was stolen, a report in the Japanese press claimed that attackers pilfered documents that contained more than 76,000 email addresses for employees and contractors for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism.
Data on air traffic control also was nabbed from the Narita Airport, which serves Tokyo, according to a separate report by Japanese public broadcaster NHK. Authorities also have not disclosed any knowledge of who was behind the attacks nor what their motives may have been.
Government Targets
The attack is the second cyber incident the government of Japan has suffered in a month. In late April, threat actors leveraged two vulnerabilities in a popular file-sharing server from Japan-based Solito to breach corporate and government systems and steal sensitive data as part of a global hacking campaign that affected the Japan Prime Minister's Cabinet Office. The incident was similar to the series of Accellion attacks that occurred earlier this year.
Indeed, government agencies and their affiliates around the world have suffered a rash of cyber attacks recently that caused varying degrees of disruption.
Effects of the ransomware attack earlier this month on Colonial Pipeline, a major U.S. oil supplier, are still being felt. About a week later, Ireland's department of health was hit with two ransomware attacks—one successful, one failed—which interfered with health services and appointments and created tens of millions of dollars in damage.
The ProjectWEB incident also is not the first time Fujitsu had to disrupt a product due to a security incident. In 2019, the company halted sales of its popular Fujitsu Wireless Keyboard Set LX901 after a researcher discovered that it was vulnerable to keystroke injection attacks that could allow an adversary to take control of a victim's system.

The next amazing trick we can learn from geckos
Run across water? Sure. No problem.
Robby Berman
(Pauline Jennings, PolyPEDAL Lab, UC Berkeley)
Scientists analyze how geckos do something they shouldn't be able to do... walk (well, run like heck) across water.
They can race over water nearly as fast as on land.
Their method may look crazy... but it works. And humans could potentially do the same.
Geckos, Hemidactylus platyurus, are fascinating lizards who always seem to come up with unique ways of doing nearly impossible things. Things we wish we could do. How about the unique microscopic hooking hairs they've developed in their foot pads that let them climb up walls? Here's another: Geckos can run across the surface of water. They're far too big to able to do this, and yet... scientists are now exploring this unique talent in hopes that we can, once more, learn something from these cool critters, maybe for use in robotics.
What's so surprising
There are other animals that can scoot across the surface of water. Tiny water striders leverage the way in which water tension makes molecules stick together to keep themselves from sinking. Geckos' larger cousins, basilisk lizards, sort of do it, too, keeping themselves at least partially above the water line by generating air pockets around their feet to step on, reducing drag as they move through water. But there's a balance to be struck: Making such air pockets requires a lot of energy, and an animal therefore needs to be large enough to produce it. But geckos aren't the right size for this feat. Biophysicist Jasmine Nirody tells Science News, "Geckos fall smack-dab in the middle. They shouldn't really be able to do this at all." After looking into this mystery, she can now explain how they're getting away with it, as she does in a study just published in Current Biology.
(Current Biology)
The gecko solution
Nirody and her colleague Ardian Jusufi filmed eight flat-tailed house geckos traversing water tanks, mading videos of them that could be slowed down to see just exactly what's going on.
The geckos, it turns out, are performing a kind of sloppy swimmers' front crawl, slapping the water with all four feet while undulating their tails side to side. The slapping creates air pockets that allow about 70% of their bodies to remain up and out of the water, sparing them from having to push their entire bodies through resisting water. There's apparently an element of surface tension assisting them in this, too, since when Nirodi added dish soap to their water, the geckos slowed down appreciably. (Soap lowers surface tension.)
The geckos' tail movement propels the remaining 30% of their bodies forward in the water. Their superhydrophobic skin makes it even easier by reducing drag.
Chaotic-looking as it looks, the geckos' system is remarkably effective at letting the lizards travel nearly a meter per second — that's about 10.5 body lengths per second. It's just about as fast as they can run on land.
(Nirody, et al)
Score one more for biomimicry
Animals have developed some surprising adaptations to their environments that would be considered genius had they been developed consciously. Biomimicry is one of the more exciting — and more understandable for us lay people — areas of scientific investigation. It's led to, for example, Velcro from plant burs, octopus-inspired prosthetics, the Kingfisher-shaped bullet train, wind turbines based on humpback whales' tubercle fins, and many more.
Geckos are not only engagingly quirky — right, GEICO? — but also full of cool traits that keep them skittering along the leading edge of science.

Get whiter teeth without chemicals or bleach.
Whitening your teeth can be a great addition to your regular beauty routine. Partly because coffee and wine can leave your pearly whites less than pearly, but also because taking care of your smile is a wonderful way to care for your emotional well-being.
If you're looking for natural alternatives to traditional whitening products, which can create sticky messes and aggravate sensitive teeth, here are the two best ingredients you can use.
Baking soda is easy to use for teeth whitening. Not to mention, you probably already have some on hand at home. Its mild abrasiveness helps remove stains from the surface of your teeth.
To use, simply mix 2-3 teaspoons of baking soda with a little bit of water to make a paste. Brush gently onto your teeth and let sit for one minute before rinsing.
In powder form, activated charcoal gives dramatic results from the get-go. You'll notice a difference after only one use.
Just dip a toothbrush into the powder and brush your teeth for 2-3 minutes before rinsing.
Fun fact: When it's on your teeth, charcoal powder will totally make you look like a Halloween monster. So after you rinse, you will probably need to brush again to remove any grayish bits left behind. Not a big deal, but you probably don't want to brush with charcoal right before a first date.
When using them, remember to treat these ingredients as you would toothpaste and avoid ingesting them.
Happy brushing from the Flourish team!


Toronto-based ad targeting startup Chango has raised $4.25 million in new funding led by Rho Canada, with iNovia Capital, Metamorphic Ventures, Extreme Venture Partners and 24/7 Media co-founder, Geoff Judge; participating in the round. This brings Chango's total funding to nearly $6 million.
Founded by Chris Sukornyk, Chango is an ad platform that targets display ads based on people's previous search history. Unlike other ad retargeters who show ads to people based on the fact that they have visited a particular Website, Chango targets ads based on the searches those people have done in the past.
How does Chango accomplish this? The startup buys browser cookie data from data exchanges, toolbar companies, and vertical comparison shopping sites. When you click through to a site from a search engine, that site captures the referral data, along with the search terms that brought you there. Sites often resell this data along with identifying cookies. When you show up at a site with Chango ads, it matches the cookie on your browser with what it knows about your search history and tries to serve up relevant display ads.
Sukornyk is a serial entrepreneur, previously co-founding the X-Stream Network (a free ISP in Europe sold to LibertySurf for $75 million), Bubbleshare (photo-sharing site sold to Kaboose for a couple million dollars, and then deadpooled), and FiveLimes (a green shopping site sold to Avid Life Media, which now appears to be defunct).

Man Finds $4.85 Million Lotto Ticket in Cookie Jar
Winner finally checks tickets after wife threatens to throw them out
By Lauren Jiggetts • Published May 16, 2013 • Updated on September 4, 2015 at 10:43 am
A Chicago-area man is thankful he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar — it turned him into a millionaire.
Ricardo Cerezo's wife said she wanted to throw out a host of old lottery tickets that the family had stashed away in a cookie jar, and told her husband to check their value before he trashed them. Cerezo drove to a nearby gas station to see if he had a winner among the months-worth of unchecked tickets.
"The last ticket said, 'file a claim.' Not a congratulations, not an amount, just said 'file a claim," Cerezo said. Intrigued, he contacted the Illinois Lottery.
The ticket, which he bought in February, turned out to be worth a cool $4.85 million.
The winning ticket couldn't have come at a better time for the family. Cerezo's home in Geneva, Ill. was facing pending foreclosure, and the family was reeling from the loss of his 14-year-old daughter Savannah, who died as a result of a series of seizures.
Savannah had bought the cookie jar for her father a few months before she died on August 12, 2012. The family kept the lotto tickets and some of their family keepsakes in that cookie jar.
The windfall, however, came with a bit of melancholy.
"The honest first reaction was mammoth regret. Regret because our youngest wasn't here to enjoy this," Cerezo said.
But now he says he's able to find peace, knowing this was an incredible gift from his daughter.
The family plans to keep working to pay off their mortgage, pay for college and donate a portion of the money to charity and their church.


What a night! It was glamour 'n' glitz all the way as the Indian premiere of Slumdog Millonaire saw the who's who of Bollywood mingling with the cast and crew of the celebrated movie on the red carpet. Aamir, Hrithik and Suzanne, Sushmita Sen, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Preity Zinta, Vidya Balan, Shabana Azmi, Imran Khan with girlfriend Avantika, to name just a few… all came in their dazzling best. The Bachchans, however, were conspicuous by their absence.
Later at an exclusive party after the premiere, Aamir Khan and the film's director Danny Boyle were seen bonding like buddies, sparking rumours that the two might do a film together. Boyle had earlier said that he wants to make another film set in Mumbai and that he's a great admirer of Aamir's style of filmmaking.
The latest buzz in tinseltown is that Shahid Kapur has finally found a soulmate in his newest co-star, Priyanka Chopra. The two are supposed to be bonding big time on the sets of Vishal Bhardawaj's Kaminay and also share a steamy lip-lock in the movie. They happen to be neighbours too. Of course, we don't know where all this leaves Sania Mirza! However, Priyanka is rumoured to have told Harman Baweja in December that it was all over between them. The guy is now getting utterly fond of his Victory co-star, the petite and pretty Amrita Rao. Yes yes, the same girl who was once linked to Shahid.
While on Akki and Ash, both the stars have been honoured with the country's prestigious civilian award, the Padma Shree for their contribution to cinema. While Ash expressed her happiness at getting the award, Akshay admitted he couldn't understand why he got it! "But I feel very honoured."
Amitabh Bachchan, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Eva Mendes, Cameron Diaz and Katrina Kaif…interesting line-up of stars, you'd agree! Well, if the buzz is to be believed, then producer Feroze Nadiadwala has done the impossible - he's managed to rope in all these biggies for his upcoming Hollywood-Bollywood venture, Jewel Of India. What's more, he's got Rob Cohen of The Fast And The Furious fame to direct his magnum opus. Feroze is obviously inspired by his cousin Sajid's much talked about Kambakht Ishq with Sylvester Stallone and Kareena Kapoor!
Sushmita Sen is slated to play Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in a biopic to be made by Pakistani filmmakers. Benazir was assassinated on December 27, 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. " The producers are just waiting for the go-ahead from the Pakistan's People's Party," said Sushmita. The movie, tentatively titled Benazir Bhutto: The Movie will be a bilingual. Meanwhile, Sushmita's much hyped directorial debut Jhansi Ki Rani, where she was to play the warrior queen, has been shelved.
Ajay Devgan will be playing the smuggler-turned-film producer Haji Mastan in Milan Luthria's Once Upon A Time In Mumbai. Amitabh Bachchan's character in the 1975 super hit film Deewaar was also modelled on Haji Mastan. Meanwhile, Bipasha Basu has been signed up for Ajay's new home production, a comedy being directed by Rohit Shetty.
Producer Vikas Kapoor and director Samir Karnik are planning to make the most expensive film ever in Bollywood history. It is tentatively being called Lanka. Kapoor and Karnik hope to rope in Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Bobby Deol and Priyanka Chopra for the movie which will be shot extensively under water.
Saif Ali Khan's first home production being directed by Imtiaz Ali, has been titled Love Aaj Kal. The film is a contemporary romance with Saif and Deepika Padukone in the lead.
Zoya Akhtar makes a smashing debut as a director with a movie which brilliantly portrays the murky realities behind the rose-tinted fa�ade of Bollywood. Unlike Om Shanti Om which adopted the tone of an indulgent spoof, Zoya gets more realistic even as the jibes are gentle. Undoubtedly, the riveting script, consummate direction and superb performances from the entire cast make the film a winner all the way.
Luck… has an assortment of characters, the pivotal ones being Vikram Jaisingh (Farhan Akhtar), a struggler from Delhi and Sona (Konkona Sen), a runaway from Kanpur. The two meet in Mumbai, the city of dreams and become romantically involved. Among the other very life-like characters are the film producer Romi Rolly (Rishi Kapoor), his endearing wife (Juhi Chawla), the domineering mother and superstar of the 70s (Dimple Kapadia), her actress daughter (Isha Shravani) and the reigning superstar (Hrihik Roshan).
After Rock On, Farhan leaves an impact yet again. He is unpretentious and likeable in a completely natural way. Konkona as usual is marvellous. Rishi Kapoor as the superstitious mainstream producer and Dimple Kapadia as the mean mamma prove that vintage never does lose its flavour. The cinematography is excellent and the music, though not first rate, is pleasing enough. Sapnon Se Bhare sung by Shankar himself, stands out.
The film holds a mirror, not only to Bollywood, but to life itself. So here's your chance to get lucky. Go and watch Luck By Chance!

I'm not disappointed with the draw against RTU- Asante Kotoko gaffer Prosper Narteh Ogum
in Football, Ghana, Premier League
Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Ogum Narteh has said he wasn't disappointed despite the 1-1 draw with Real Tamale United on matchday eight of Ghana Premier League at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Wednesday.
The Porcupine Warriors failed to record yet another victory as Mbella Frank Thierry's goal for Kotoko was cancelled thanks to David Abagna Sangna's late equaliser.
Kotoko by virtue of the results have gone three games without a win.
"I'm not disappointed with the draw against RTU in the sense that we played well and created a lot of chances which we could have scored but we couldn't take our chances," Ogum said at the post-match conference.
"In terms of performance, I think we are playing well. if it is about the results then fine. However, I still believe that we are creating a lot of chances just that we are not taking them.
" I believe we should be winning all our last three games if we had taken out chances because we played well," he added.
The Porcupine Warriors currently sit third place with 14 points, three points behind joint leaders Aduana Stars and King Faisal.
They will travel to Accra to face Maxwell Konadu's Legon Cities next weekend.

Kehilat Ariel Messianic Synagogue, San DiegoFor joy, fun and a great time of celebration, it is hard to find an event more wonderful than a Jewish wedding! Of course, just about any wedding is a great occasion but there are some unique elements of the Jewish wedding which make it stand out among religious celebrations. For some people it could be the beautiful liturgy which is chanted. For others perhaps it is the symbolism of the two cups and the chuppah. Everyone seems to agree that the reception and chair dance are a high point. Parasha Chayei Sarah records many of the details of the ancient biblical ceremony as it describes the wedding of our forefather Yitzak/Isaac. As beautiful as the Jewish wedding ceremony is, it also contains some amazing spiritual pictures of God's love for us and His plan for our future. This becomes especially illuminating when we study the wedding ceremony of antiquity. While some of the details of changed today, many of the distinctive elements are still observed within the 21st century Jewish wedding.
The first step of the ancient ceremony came to be known as Shiddukhin/arrangement. This is seen in the Parasha when Abraham charges his servant to "take a wife for my son Isaac" (Bresheet/Genesis 24:4). Evidently, Abraham was getting a little anxious as his aging son was not yet married. How could Isaac fulfill his destiny of continuing the chosen line if he is still hanging around the tent! It was customary for many generations of Jews for the parents to arrange the future marriage of their children. If they had a difficult time with this, they could recruit the services of a matchmaker (shadkhin) as seen in this case. It was assumed that the parents or a qualified professional would have more wisdom on these matters than a young kid. Although this step of shiddukhin has mostly gone by the wayside in our modern culture, it is interesting to note the growth of matchmaking services (eg. JDate, etc) still within the Jewish community. In ancient times, it was considered the duty of the father of the groom to make such an arrangement and we see Abraham fulfilling his responsibility here. There is also a vital spiritual lesson to be found in this step of shiddukhin. Our Heavenly Father is seeking a relationship with all His people, especially His people of the covenant Israel. If the paradigm of the Jewish wedding is followed, it should be noted that it is not so much us seeking God but first God seeking us! Rabbi Shaul makes this point in the New Covenant when he states that it is the Father who "chose us in Messiah before the foundation of the world" (Ephesians 1:4). Those of us who are followers of Yeshua understand that ultimately it is the Father who arranged this relationship. That is indeed a beautiful truth which should give us fresh understanding of God's love!
The second step of the ancient Jewish wedding is called Erusin/engagement. Even though the young kids were arranged for a future marriage through Shiddukhin, there came a point in time where they would have to publicly affirm that it is agreeable to them. In biblical times, this was usually portrayed in a public wedding ceremony to make a statement of their consent. In the parasha it is the potential bride, Rivkah/Rebekah, who gives her consent as she is asked "Will you go with this man? And she said, "I will go" (Bresheet 24:58). Over time, this Erusin statement developed into the first part of the Jewish public ceremony. The young couple (sometimes young teenagers!) would come under the chuppah, sign a ketubah/wedding contract and share the first cup of wine representing the Erusin/engagement commitment. Unlike our modern understanding of "engagement", the Jewish Erusin in ancient times was considered a binding covenant stating that the couple was actually married. So binding was it that if the engagement was broken up, a religious divorce (Hebrew get) would be required. Yet the young couple was not to live together quite yet or have sexual relations. Instead, they entered a one-year time of preparation: the bride preparing her dowry and garments while the groom worked on the future housing for the couple. In biblical times this usually meant adding a room (or tent) to the father's existing home as the entire family often lived under one roof. Once again, we can appreciate the beauty of the historical custom but there are deeper spiritual pictures to be seen if we open our spiritual eyes. At the Last Passover Seder of Yeshua, he seemed to allude to the Erusin picture when he told his Jewish disciples: "In my Father's house are many dwelling places…I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself" (Yochanan/John 14:2-3). Yeshua and his disciples shared a cup at that Seder to illustrate that they were giving their consent to this new relationship. Thus engaged, He would be going to prepare the home during this time and his disciples (us as well!) were called to tend to our spiritual responsibilities. What an amazing picture! We believers in Yeshua have partaken of the Erusin cup and, in a sense, we renew that statement every time we celebrate the third cup of Passover. We are temporarily separated from our groom but make no mistake; the marriage vows are binding. With the Erusin established we are now called to get ready for our full wedding.
After the one-year engagement time, the third step of the ancient Jewish wedding arrives calledNisuin/marriage. In the parasha it is said that Isaac "took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her" (Bresheet 24:67). In later history this became the time where the groom would come for his bride and literally carry her (Hebrew nasa) in a processional to the final part of the ceremony. They would meet under the chuppah once again, exchange solemn vows and partake of the second cup with the Sheva Brachot (Seven Blessings). Upon completion of these things (and a joyous reception), the couple could now live together fully as husband and wife. In our contemporary Jewish wedding ceremony, even we Jews sometimes lose perspective of some of these details. Because of the difficult times so often facing the Jewish community, the one-year engagement has become optional. In fact, as you probably know from the last Jewish wedding you attended, there are no longer two distinct ceremonies. Nonetheless, the two cups are still central to the overall service. The spiritual lessons are quite obvious to those who are seeking. It was at the last Seder of Yeshua that he taught us an amazing truth in this regard. After sharing the third cup (e.g., the Erusin), towards the end of the meal, Yeshua came to the fourth and final cup (e.g., the Nisuin). But instead of partaking of that cup, he said the following: "I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom" (Mattityahu/Matthew 26:29). What a perfect analogy there is between the two cups of the wedding and the two appearances of Mashiach! Yeshua came the first time to work out the arrangements of our betrothal through his life, death and resurrection from the dead. By refusing to drink of the last cup of the Seder Yeshua was highlighting the fact that there will be a time of separation until the consummation of his Kingdom. At that time he promises to share the Nisuin Cup with all his followers and to bring us into the joy of the wedding banquet.
All this is an amazing spiritual picture which is contained in our parasha Chayei Sarah. Isaac's wedding, besides being Jewish history, is also a picture of our engagement and coming wedding with Messiah. Have you taken from the cup of engagement for yourself? Are you ready for the bridegroom to take us to his kingdom of messianic redemption?

Stein gets about 8,000 votes statewide; Clement gets 9,400 votes in Arlington County race (12%), Galdo gets over 1,200 votes in 11th Congresssional district race
Candidates,political campaigns — @ 11:54 am
Thank you to all Virginia Greens who supported our three candidates on the ballot this year. I thank everyone who got signatures for the candidates to get on the ballot; for helping distribute campaign literature, and who gave of their own money and time to help them.
Jill Stein for President got about 8,000 votes (0.3%) statewide, fairly well distributed across the state with slightly more in the 8th, 11th and 1st Congressional Districts. Audrey Clement got 9,400 votes in Arlington County Board of Supervisors election or 12 percent of the total votes cast. Green Joe Galdo in his first campaign for office for the 11th Congressional seat in Fairfax area got about 1,200 votes.
Arlington Greens have had a Green candidate for county board for six years straight. Audrey got the highest percentage of the vote for any Green facing both a Republican and Democratic candidate. In 2009, the Green candidate got about 32 percent of the vote against only a Democratic candidate for County Board in Arlington.
Unfortunately, Jill Stein only got about 350 votes in Arlington County, despite Audrey's excellent vote results. Many, many Green voters for local candidates showed they would NOT vote for our national Green presidential candidate.
Jill Stein got nearly three times the number of votes our 2008 Green candidate Cynthia McKiney received. Nationwide, Stein is expected to get over 1 million votes, the highest for any Green candidate since Ralph Nader in 2000. The Stein campaign did well and was organized, despite widespread media blackout and considering its lack of funding.
The two major parties spent a reported $2 billion directly for the presidential race, plus independent political campaign comittees funded largely by rich people and corporations spent probably another $2 billion. With about 135 million votes cast, the two major parties and their corporate allies spent about $35 per vote cast.

In cold climates, heating air and water is a major demand on household energy use. Define power factor and load factor Energy conservation book explain why each is important. The first kind of energy to be recognized was kinetic energyor energy of motion. Step 5: The non-conservative work is set equal to the energies to solve for the work dissipated by air resistance. But the method of analyzing particle motion, starting from energy conservation, is more powerful than that. Compare energy use in the three categories of energy consumers.
Systems with a Single Particle or Object We first consider a system with a single particle or object. This is called passive solar design or climatic Energy conservation book because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices. When you play video games or watch TV, turn them off when you are done. The air conditioning system can also improve in efficiency by using a heat sink that is cooler than the standard air heat exchanger, such as geothermal or water. In showers, a semi-closed-loop system could be used. These hands-on and fun activities teach kids to know the importance of energy conservation at home and at school.
