Kayamkulam Kayal, Kayamkulam Lake or Kayamkulam Estuary  is a shallow brackish water lagoon stretching between Panmana and Karthikapally. It has an outlet to the Arabian sea at Kayamkulam barrage. The Kayal used to be connected to the sea most of the time except during dry season when a bar like formation separates it from the sea. Now the bar has been opened up permanently for construction of Kayamkulam Fishing Harbor. Kayamkulam boat race is conducted in Kayamkulam Kayal.

History
There is a popular belief that Kayamkulam kayal was once lush green fields and Kayamkulam Raja, angry and desolate from being defeated by Travancore King Marthanda Varma, ordered his naval officers, Arattupuzha Arayars, to rupture the barrier separating it from the sea and let salt water in to make the fields un-cultivable. It is believed that when Kayamkulam was annexed the King threw all the valuables in his palace into Kayamkulam lake and fled the Kingdom.

In Aithihyamala it is mentioned that Kayamkulam Kochunni sunk his mother-in-law, after killing her, in Kayamkulam Lake.

Geography

Kayamkulam Kayal lies between latitudes 9°2'N and 9°16'N and longitudes 76°25'E and 76°32'E. The backwater occupies area in both Alappuzha district and Kollam of the total ,  is in Kollam district and the rest  in Alappuzha district. The Kayal has high length to width ratio and is almost a linear water body. It fall within the Survey of India(501) topographic sheets 58C/8 and 58C/12. The Kayal is connected to Vembanad Kayal in the north and Ashtamudi Kayal in the south.

Meteorology and climate
The Kayal area has wet and maritime tropical climate influenced by the seasonal heavy rains. It receives more than 2000 mm of rain annually more than 70% of which come from the southwest summer monsoon(ഇടവപ്പാതി) and the rest from northeast winter monsoon (തുലാവർഷം). Annual mean temperature minimum and maximum are around  and . Humidity is higher in mornings than in afternoons.

The Kayal used to be connected to the sea most of the time but during dry season the sediments from the inflows separate the Kayal from the sea by forming a bar like formation and during the rainy season the bar is cut open by rivers and the Kayal was connected to the sea. Now the bar has been opened up permanently for construction of Kayamkulam Fishing Harbor.

Water quality
Quality of water in the Kayal is highly dependent on the season as it is connected to both sea and fresh water rivers. The salinity of the water is highly season dependent and it also exhibits a gradient. In monsoon season salinity is 11% while in dry season it 30% almost that of a marine system. Presence of heavy metals is quite low and there is marked decrease in monsoon season due to heavy inflow. Levels of toxic material is below detectable limit. These estimations were done before setting up of Rajiv Gandhi CCPP on the banks of the Kayal. A study after setting up of the power plant reported that the temperature of cooling effluents were perceptibly higher than the lake water and the dissolved oxygen contend also fell near the plant site.

The water was studied by Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute after NTPC was set up. Recorded pH values vary from 6.75 (May 2000) to 8.3 (April 2002). Mean water temperature is (2002). Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) values, Chemical oxygen demand(COD) values and nutrient content were high, these were attributed to NTPC effluent discharge and retting of coconut husks.

Algae
The shallow warm waters of the Kayal is abundant in vegetation and planktons. The distribution of algae is climate dependent showing marked variations. A 2001-02 study reported the presence of forty-one genus of algae seven genus of Myxophyceae, Twenty one genus of Chlorophyceae, five genus of Desmidiaceae and eight genus of Bacillariophyceae. It also report the presence of fifteen zooplanktons which includes four genus of protozoa, eight genus of Rotifera and three genus of Copepoda. A 2012 study reports the presence of ten genus of Chlorophyceae. This study also remark on the seasonal variation of algae population and reports that Chlorophyceae population peaks in post monsoon. The deeper part of the lake is poor in vegetation except for encrustation by blue green algae Oscillatoria. A 1975 study reported the presence sixteen genus of foraminiferans.

Sediments
Percentage of sand, silt and clay varies widely with location and season with more percentage of sand in post monsoon season than in pre-monsoon. Silt and clay contents are higher in pre-monsoon. Sand grains fall mainly under the medium to very fine sand grade of Wentworth grain size scale. The northern part is silty or clayey centre mostly sandy and southern part mostly muddy but with great variations in between.

Environment Impact Assessment before setting up Rajiv Gandhi CCP in Kayamkulam noted that concentration of mercury and nickel in the sediments is much lower than the crust rocks. Distribution of copper is inconsistent and varies spatially. Concentration of lead is marginally high but they are generally associated with chelates and other organic matter and are fixed in the sediment matrix and are not leachable. Sediment is high in iron content possiblily because weathering of charnockite and pagmetite rocks.

Aquafauna
A 1955 study by Mary John identified fifteen species of grey mullets. She reports that most species of grey millets migrate to the lake during the months when Kayal is connected to the sea. The Kayal is rich in prawns. An environment impact assessment by National Thermal Power Corporation in association with the Fisheries department lists about 70 species of fishes in the Kayal. There are about 40 commercially important fish species which includes flathead mullet, greenback mullet, longarm mullet, largescale mullet, gold-spot mullet, bluespot mullet,  tade grey mullet, bluetail mullet, Commerson's glassy perchlet, bald glassy perchlet, greasy grouper, tiger perch, spotted catfish, milkfish, longfin snake-eel, largetooth flounder, Solea indica, roughscale tonguesole, speckled tonguesole, barracuda, pearlspot, orange chromide, sulphur goatfish, spotted scat, whipfin silver-biddy, slender silver-biddy, small Bengal silver-biddy, common ponyfish, splendid ponyfish, shortnose ponyfish, Indo-Pacific tarpon, tenpounder, fringescale sardinella, Indian anchovy, Commerson's anchovy, Malabar thryssa and walking catfish. Besides the commercially important species there are about 30 other species of fish including northern whiting, bigeye trevally, black-tailed trevally, congaturi halfbeak, long-billed halfbeak, Quoy's garfish, chacunda gizzard shad, milkspotted puffer, diodon, Indian halibut, chorinemus, dusky sleeper, tank goby, mangrove red snapper, dory snapper, sleepy goby, sharptail goby, spotfin snouted goby  Indian short-finned eel, Macrognathus guentheri, long whiskers catfish, yellow catfish, striped dwarf catfish, scarlet-banded barb, greenstripe barb, climbing perch, Indian carplet and spotted snakehead.

There are about fifteen species of prawn in the Kayal of which eleven are commercially important. Commercially important species include giant tiger prawn, Indian prawn, green tiger prawn, Metapenaeus dobsoni, speckled shrimp, Jinga shrimp, giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium idae, Macrobrachium Spence, Macrobrachium idella, Macrobrachium scabriculum and other species include Caridina nilotica, orange shrimp, Metapenaeus brevicornis and Macrobrachium equidens.

The Kayal is also home to crab species Scylla serrata and Portunus pelagicus.

Inland fishing

The Kayal directly serves as the means of livelihood of thousands of fishermen. The chief catch is grey millets and prawns. The main fishing season is from October to January during the season the Kayal will be connected to the sea. The majority of fish are caught using any one of cast net, gill net, scare net, seine net, dip net, ring net, scoope net or trap. Arattupuzha, a fishing village on the bank of Kayamkulam Kayal, is famous for chakara mud formation resulting from thronging of large amount of fish and prawns.

Avifauna
The environment impact assessment survey conducted by NTPC, reports the presence of 27 species of birds that fall into 25 different genera. These birds include common myna, common kingfisher, Malabar pied hornbill, snakebird, cattle egret, little ringed plover, Indian roller, house crow, jungle crow, jungle fowl, fork-tailed drongo, black-rumped flameback, little egret, Asian koel, common moorhen, black-capped kingfisher, house sparrow, black kite, white-throated kingfisher, yellow-throated sparrow, stork-billed kingfisher, baya weaver, red-vented bulbul, greater painted-snipe, black-headed ibis, common babbler and hoopoe.

Benthic fauna
Environment Impact Assessment Survey conducted by NTPC, recorded the presence Amphipoda, Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Gastrotricha, Isopoda, Nemertea(ribbon worm), Oligochaeta, Polychaetes, Sipuncula(peanut worm) and Tanaidacea in the lake bed. Kayal is home to molluscs, two mussel species Asian green mussel and brown mussel, oyster species Crassostrea bilineata and clams of genus Meretrix and black clam are found in Kayamkulam Kayal.

Alappuzha Mega Tourism Project

Kayamkulam Kayal area is one of the benefactors of Alappuzha Mega Tourism Project announced by the President of India, when he was visiting Alappuzha to witness the Nehru Trophy Boat Race.

There are also allegations of misuse of the money.

Rajiv Gandhi CCPP Kayamkulam
Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Plant Kayamkulam or NTPC Kayamkulam is on the bank of Kayamkulam Kayal. The majority of the plant site is reclaimed land from the Kayal which originally belonged to the Keral State Agricultural Department and was used for Grass Farming. The site was then acquired by NTPC. Kayal was drenched and the bed materials were used for leveling the plant site. Effluents and other waste from the plant, after processing, is discharged into the Kayamkulam Kayal.

National Waterway 3
National waterway 3 passes through Kayamkulam Kayal. Total length of waterway in the Kayal is approximately  and Least Available Depth is at least . Kayamkulam Kayal had been drenched for creation of the Waterway. There is an IWT terminal in Kayamkulam occupying an area of .

Clone REA220 recognizes CD47, a heavily glycosylated protein with an extracellular IgV domain, five transmembrane domains, and a cytoplasmic tail, which exists in four different isoforms. CD47 interact with integrins, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), and cell surface gylcoproteins SIRPα and SIRPβ. Owing to these interactions, CD47 plays an important role in lymphocyte homeostasis, maturation and activation of dendritic cells, cellular transmigration, and phagocytosis of cells. Expression of CD47 is found ubiquitously.
Additional information: Clone REA220 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
Analyzer. Lymphocytes were pre-gated for the analysis. The specificity of the conjugated antibodies was confirmed by blocking the binding to the ligand, using pure unconjugated antibodies (left peak). The Tandem Signal Enhancer has been used to increase binding specificity of tandem-dye–conjugated antibodies. Cell debris and dead cells were excluded from the analysis based on scatter signals and propidium iodide fluorescence or 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescence, as in the case of tandem conjugates.


A collaboration of automotive manufacturers, semiconductor and software companies have formed Automotive Grade Linux to develop and adopt an open software platform for connected, secure vehicles.
Automotive manufacture crosses international boundaries, with vehicle manufacturers in Japan and South Korea competing with those in the USA and European countries. The user is also multicultural, with any one country's roads occupied by an international pool of vehicles. It therefore makes sense to bring together international vehicle manufacturers to dip into that talent pool and select the interior functions, together with the safety and navigation features, for vehicle development. The Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) open source project is just such a collaboration. It brings together automotive makers, suppliers, and technology companies with the intention of developing and adopting an open software platform for automotive applications. It addresses infotainment, instrument clusters, Heads Up Display (HUD) units, telematics, and connectivity, as well as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), functional safety, and autonomous driving.
The standard platform will save Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) development time and costs as they can share code to include connectivity and functionality in a cost-conscious, time-sensitive environment.
There are over 110 members in the alliance, including founders Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota, with technology companies such as Arm, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Intel, Luxoft, Microchip, Micron, NEC, NVIDIA, NXP, Qt, Synopsy, Texas Instruments, Toshiba, and Wipro.
The AGL Unified Code Base (UCB) is a Linux-based Operating System (OS) and application framework developed to help manufacturers and suppliers develop a de facto industry standard on which to develop infotainment systems and connected car services. Later this year, Toyota will release an AGL-based infotainment system in its 2018 Toyota Camry, before rolling this out to most of the Toyota and Lexus vehicles in North America.
Last month, Amazon announced that it has established a working group with AGL members Nuance Communications and Voicebox Technologies to simplify the development of voice-enabled apps in vehicles that are compatible with multiple speech-recognition technologies. The vehicles employ open source software to use Amazon's speech-based digital assistant, Alexa, in vehicle infotainment systems.
Nuance develops embedded, cloud, and third-party speech solutions for customers like Toyota, Subaru, AT&T, Renault, and Mazda. Its Dragon Drive automotive platform is used in over 200 million cars and in more than 40 languages. Voicebox Technologies specializes in contextual voice technology. It builds voice applications, using patented Context Management to model human conversation to break away from the one-question-one-answer staccato voice recognition formula.
"Our goal is to voice-enable every application in the vehicle, but the challenge today is that developers have to manually integrate with each automaker's preferred speech recognition engine," declares Dan Cauchy, Executive Director of Automotive Grade Linux at The Linux Foundation. "We plan to provide a standard set of open APIs that allows developers to write their application only once, and it will work on any system from any automaker using AGL, regardless of the underlying speech recognition technology. We believe . . .this will greatly reduce fragmentation and create an ecosystem of speech-enabled apps for the vehicle," he adds.
"We envisage that customers will have a voice service, like Alexa, with them throughout their day, with continuity between their home and their car. Making it simpler for automakers to implement voice services is a big step toward this vision," says John Scumniotales, Director of Products at Amazon Alexa Automotive.
With this impetus, AGL could scale voice across the automotive industry.
The race for voice-recognition in vehicles began in earnest this year, as Google announced plans for its Google Assistant to be available for Android Auto software at CES 2018 in January.
There are estimates that there will be one billion connected cars on the road in the next two years. At CES, Green Hills Software announced its partnership with u-blox, using the latter's automotive connectivity and positioning technology with the Green Hills INTEGRITY Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and Multivisor secure virtualization. The u-blox Toby-L4 LTE Cat 6 Modem series provides in-vehicle cellular connectivity and the RTOS and Multivisor can securely combine Linux-based services with critical application and vehicle bus services in a single Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers can use the open source software to design a scalable system without compromising safety or security, says Green Hills. The combination can be used for remote vehicle monitoring and control, electric vehicle management, eCall (emergency call) or bCall (breakdown call) responses, telematics services and ADAS data.
Figure 2: Green Hills Software's Integrity RTOS and Multivisor secure virtualization service.
The embedded development vendor supplies compilers, Multi IDE ,and Integrity RTOS for the three main vehicle domains, the cockpit, the secure gateway, and the driving/ADAS, says Tubbs. "Green Hills has had a dominant market share of the cockpit for a number of years and is working with its partners to provide future secure gateway solutions and the security- and safety-certified path of future self/autonomous driving systems," he adds.
Security is one of the main concerns around combining open source-based car services in the connected car. The systems have to be reliable for functional safety, but also impenetrable to malicious attacks. Security can be integrated into the OS, which can act as a building block for the connected vehicle and its differentiating functionality. The Integrity RTOS and Multivisor secure virtualization service isolates critical networking and security tasks from guest OS, other tasks, and AutoSAR applications. The secure, safe, and scalable architecture is well-suited to Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) -certified systems.
"The foundation of a secure system has to be a secure RTOS, and the Integrity RTOS is the most highly certified RTOS in the world," he asserts. "Its un-hackable partitioning along with secure virtualization provides a contained environment that an open-source OS and applications can be securely run in. Green Hills Software also provides the other components that are required to build a secure platform. They include secure boot toolkit, embedded cryptography toolkit, network security protocols and device lifecycle management (key management and certificates). In combination it provides an end-to-end solution for connected car security," he says.
AGL member ForgeRock believes that as systems begin to operate autonomously with more automated decisions, not only must the connected devices be trusted, but the data must be secured to maintain system integrity. Rather than using cryptographic security methods, the company offers ForgeRock Edge Security, which ensures the integrity of IoT devices and communications using secure, standards-based tokens, rather than hard coded user names and passwords, or individual Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates, which need to be managed.
Its Identity Edge Controller (IEC) establishes a cryptographic root of trust to create a trusted identity for each smart edge device. The IEC intercepts unauthorized traffic from entering the network. The second part of the company's Identity Platform is the Identity Message Broker. It is installed in the Cloud or on the edge of the network and works in tandem with the IEC, providing security at the message level over native IoT protocols. It authenticates the source and secures the data and authorizes the data flow using the Access Management mechanism.
Another AGL member, is Microchip, which announced a System on Module to simplify industrial-grade Linux designs at this year's Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany (See eeCatalog's Embedded World 2018 Review).
The SAMA5D2 microprocessor-based ATSAMA5D27-SOM1 System on Module (SoM) features the ATSAMA5D27C-D1G-CU System in Package (SiP), with integrated power management, non-volatile boot memory, Ethernet PHY and high-speed DDR2 memory on a small, single-sided PCB.
Impedance matching is done in the package, not manually during development, so the system will function properly at normal and low-speed operation. Three DDR2 memory sizes (128-Mbit, 512-Mbit and 1-Gbit) are available for the SiP and optimized for bare metal, RTOS and Linux.
For security, the SAMA5D2 microprocessor includes PCI compliance, Arm TrustZone and capabilities for tamper detection, secure data and program storage, hardware encryption engine and secure boot. The SoM also includes the company's QSPI NOR Flash memory, a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC), an Ethernet PHY and serial EEPROM with a Media Access Control (MAC) address.
There is an accompanying SOM1-EK1 development board and a free Board Support Package (BSP), which includes the Linux kernel and drivers for the microprocessor peripherals and ICs on the SoM.
Figure 3: Microchip removes design complexity with a SAMA5D2-based reference design and production-ready module.

In a passage made famous for its teaching about spiritual gifts, Paul begins by stating emphatically, 'No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.' (1 Corinthians 12:3). Today, the Holy Spirit is well known for his role as author and distributor of gifts. But to begin with, our very faith in Jesus and our profession of faith in Jesus (the two always go together if our Christianity is sincere) is a change that is effected in us by the Holy Spirit: to come under the subjection of the Lordship of Jesus is a work of the Spirit of God that no one is sufficient for themselves.
God gives his Spirit to save sinners. Two promises run throughout the Scriptures in salvation history from the beginning of sin: 1. God's Son would take on our nature and suffer for us, and 2. God's Spirit would make effectual to us his obedience and suffering for us. These 'two great means of recovering fallen man' are: 1. God gave his Son for us and 2. God gives his Spirit to us.
The reception of the Holy Spirit is the mark of genuine Christianity. Jesus promised to send the Spirit, not only to the Apostles and first Christians, but also to 'all who would believe in him through their word' (John 17:20). Christ sends the Spirit to supply his own absence, and ultimately to bring us to himself. 'If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ' (Romans 8:9).
The effectiveness of the gospel depends on the Spirit. The gospel is itself called the 'ministry of the Spirit' (2 Corinthians 3:6-8). Without the Spirit the gospel would be dead and ineffectual. And to separate the gospel from the Spirit is to reject it, and to kill it. (Isaiah 59:21).
Whatever God works in us, God works by his Spirit. And there is nothing done by us that is acceptable to God but that which is an effect of the Spirit's operation.
The only unforgivable sin is against the Holy Spirit, because -- as God has no other Son to offer for our sins if he be rejected -- God has no other Spirit to make Christ's work effectual to us if the Holy Spirit is despised.
Today Pentecostals continue to emphasise the importance of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Pentecostalism emerged as a movement, now over a century ago, intent on bringing the role of the Spirit back into focus, primarily because it felt that his work had been neglected in the Church largely since 'early times'. And to be sure, the Pentecostal desire has got something unequivocally right.
The importance of the subject is immeasurable because the necessity of the Holy Spirit's work is absolute: Our salvation, Christianity itself, the gospel, Christian growth and the condemnation of the unforgiven, all depend critically on the Holy Spirit, both his person and operation. The Spirit matters because God gives the Spirit to save us.

Manitoba Hydro to sell 215 MW of renewable hydroelectricity to SaskPower
A term sheet providing for a new long-term power sale has been signed between Manitoba Hydro and SaskPower. The terms sheet will see up to 215 megawatts of renewable hydroelectricity flow from Manitoba to Saskatchewan, beginning in 2022.
The new sale, announced by both utilities on October 29, will last a minimum of 18 years with a potential extension up to a total of 30 years, bringing long-term benefits to electricity customers in both provinces. This is the largest of three recent major power deals between the two provinces. By 2022, Manitoba Hydro will be supplying up to 315 megawatts of hydroelectricity to Saskatchewan.
Financial terms of the term sheet are confidential.
"We're extremely pleased to announce that we've agreed to a term sheet for this significant new power sale to SaskPower," said Kelvin Shepherd, President and CEO of Manitoba Hydro.
"We anticipate a final legal contract for the sale will be concluded in mid-2019. The energy we will be providing to SaskPower is reliable, renewable hydroelectricity that is currently surplus to the needs of Manitobans. Revenues from this sale will assist in keeping electricity rates affordable for our Manitoba customers, while helping SaskPower expand and diversify its renewable energy supply," Shepherd said.
"This clean hydroelectric power represents a significant step forward when it comes to reaching SaskPower's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030," said Mike Marsh, President and CEO of SaskPower. "It's also reliable baseload electricity, which we'll need as we add more intermittent generation options like wind and solar. Manitoba Hydro has been a valued neighbour and business partner over the years and this is a demonstration of that relationship."
The sale to SaskPower will fully utilize the additional transmission capacity provided by a new 230,000-volt transmission line planned for construction between Birtle, Manitoba and Tantallon, Saskatchewan. When complete, the 80-kilometre line, announced in 2015, will also improve the reliability of the electrical grid, benefiting customers in both provinces.
The line is anticipated to be in service in 2021.

Fairfax, Virginia, 12 December 2017: Sevatec was recently honored with the 2017 Corporate Philanthropy Award from the Washington Business Journal. The award recognizes the region's most active and inspirational companies who made a difference in their communities through financial and volunteer philanthropic work.
For the second consecutive year, Sevatec earned recognition in two categories: Financial Giving and Volunteer Hours. Sevatec is the only mid-tier IT government contractor to be honored in either category.
Sevatec actively promotes its culture of service to employees, customers, and communities. In addition to over a decade of monthly charitable initiatives that support worthy causes, SevaTruck Foundation, a fully-equipped food truck, was launched in 2015 to serve free, hot nutritious meals to children and veterans suffering from food insecurity.

Several ships have been named Bellona or Bellone for the Roman goddess Bellona:

 Bellona, originally , and previously John, had been launched in Liverpool in 1775. True Briton and John were slave ships, making three voyages in the triangular trade in enslaved people. In 1778–1779 Bellona had an unusually successful time as a privateer, capturing five prizes. She then returned to enslaving, making three more enslaving voyages. New owners renamed her Lord Stanley, and as Lord Stanley she made a further 11 enslaving voyages.
  was a three-decker merchantman launched at Limehouse by Woolcombe for Boyd & Co. She then traded for a decade before, in 1792, commencing a series of four voyages for the British East India Company as an "extra ship", that is, on a charter contract. During the first of these voyages she transported convicts from Britain to New South Wales. French privateers captured her and the British Royal Navy recaptured her, the Royal Navy seized her once, and then finally a French privateer captured her in February 1810 and scuttled her.
  was a three-decker merchantman launched at Calcutta. In 1799 she sailed to Great Britain and was admitted to the Registry of Great Britain in 1800. A French frigate captured her in 1801.
  was launched at Lancaster. She was a West Indiaman that made one voyage as a whaler. She disappeared in 1809 as she was returning to England from Jamaica.
  was built in Spain in 1797 and was taken in prize circa late 1804. She made two voyages as a privateer, including one in which she sailed from Liverpool to the River Plate area. On her return, in a highly unusual gesture, her owners awarded her captain £100 despite his lack of success. Next, Bellona made a voyage as a slave ship. She was wrecked as she was coming back into Liverpool after having delivered to Charleston the captives she was carrying.
  was launched at Whitby and was lost in 1814.
 , of , was a steam cargo ship built by Smith and Rodger at Govan. In 1889 she was renamed SS Benbrach. She wrecked on 25 January 1889.

THE campaign to axe a 'crippling' tax on Burton's breweries and pubs was today a step closer to success after 100 MPs joined the fight.
They demanded an urgent review of the beer duty escalator, which adds 10p in tax to the cost of a pint of beer every year.
MPs from all three main parties backed a House of Commons motion calling on Chancellor George Osborne to reconsider the escalator before his 2013 Budget.
Burton MP Andrew Griffiths described the tax as 'completely unsustainable' and said 5,000 jobs would be saved within a year if it was axed.
Beer duty has rocketed by 42 per cent since 2008 but sales have fallen by nearly a fifth in that period and nearly 6,000 pubs have closed.
ONE hundred MPs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of scrapping the beer duty escalator in a bid to save thousands of jobs in the brewing and pub industry.
A House of Commons debate, opened by Burton MP Andrew Griffiths, called on the Treasury to carry out an urgent review of beer tax policies.
Treasury minister Sajid Javid, however, said the Government stood to lose £105 million over the next two years if the beer duty escalator was abolished.
This, he said, would have to be recouped through spending cuts or tax hikes elsewhere.
Alcohol duty currently increases by two per cent plus the rate of inflation every year.
The Tory, who chairs the parliamentary beer group, described the beer duty escalator as 'completely unsustainable'.
Beer duty last year contributed £3.4 billion to the Exchequer, compared to just £330 million levied on cider.
"Many breweries are paying more than 50 per cent of their turnover in tax and duty," Mr Griffiths told MPs. "It is simply unsustainable. We believe a fair tax system would help drive growth.
Cathy Jamieson, Labour's shadow treasury minister, said her party would not oppose the motion, tabled by Mr Griffiths and Liberal Democrat Greg Mulholland, calling for a review of the escalator before Chancellor George Osborne delivers his 2013 Budget.
Not a single MP opposed the motion when it was put to a vote. Around 100 were in attendance at the end of the debate to cast their votes.

Among the many hidden and obscure treasures that West Newton shelters, lies the little-known West Newton Cinema located on Washington Street. This cinema prides itself on showing films of a unique nature, referred to as independent or "indie" movies.
West Newton Cinema was initially built in 1937 and has been independently operated since 1978, when David Bramante acquired the cinema. As of now, the cinema holds six screening rooms and plans on adding another room. The building has been renovated since its opening, but still maintains a nostalgic, cozy style.
To achieve the strongest gist of what an "indie" film is, it is best to ask someone who is largely associated with independent films.
"A true independent film, is a film with a very small budget, no affiliation with the film company and [is] a labor of love," said Bramante.
Bramante distinguished that "independent films" refer to films that are not of the commercial or mainstream variety. Although there are very little exceptions to the indie movies' presence within the cinema, he expressed the non-indie movies in the theater are there for a distinct purpose: they are good movies.
As far as the future of the West Newton Cinema, Bramante is currently working on an exciting renovation and modernization, which includes new seating and upgrading aesthetics like the rugs and the décor. He also plans to add what he described as an "invisible" upgrade, which includes replacing the outdated reel projectors in exchange for the more state-of-the-art digital projectors.
In order to attract more moviegoers to the West Newton Cinema, Bramante urges the Lasell community to take action and "make students aware" by addressing issues concerning transportation, scheduling a special screening or even including a discounted price for students to get a feel for the theater.
It's up to Lasell students to get the word out on the theater so students don't have to take that extra trek to Boston to enjoy a decent film.


Happy national adoption month! As I read about various events honoring adoption this month and check out the many blogs on the subject I am struck by how much adoption has changed since my husband and I set out to adopt our first child in 1989.
It's now almost twenty-three years since we adopted my son and almost fifteen since we adopted my daughter. As I reflect on all the change that has occurred since then it is mind-boggling. What has happened in the world of adoption is such a powerful reflection of these changes.
When my son was born in 1990 adoption was still mostly closed. I remember that California was beginning to have open adoption. There was no internet. Nobody had a website. There was no Google. There was not the huge access to the vast amount of information and opinions that we have today. There were no blogs!
Adoptive parents were given standard advice: Tell your children they are adopted. Tell them they can search for their birthmothers when they get older, preferably at age eighteen. Birth parents were mostly invisible. Adoptee grief was tucked away behind the wish that everyone would be happy and the assumption that all would have a better life created by the "solution" of adoption.
We are now rocking on the sea of anger at these presumptions. This is creating dramatic and lasting change. Change never comes without pain, just as adoption does not come without loss.
There are many common features to most adoptions: loss, grief, fantasies of lives not lived, anger at abandonment. These are all difficult feelings to deal with and overcome. It is easy to become stuck along the way and even easier to assume that, because there are many common experiences, there is one "correct" way to feel about them. This strain in the current narrative of adoption forecloses on the great variety of emotion and experience that all participants in the adoption have.
We need to make space for many voices, most especially the voices of change. Adoptees are working to open records and claim their full identities. Birthmothers are gaining a voice and power in the decision to place their children and maintain relationships with them. I would like to raise my voice for the changes that adoptive parents are experiencing as the world of adoption opens.
I notice that, as the voices of a hurt and anger in both adoptees and birthparents have taken their justifiable place on the stage of adoption, there has developed at the same time a tendency to disparage adoptive parents. While this is not always the case, it occurs often enough to be identified as a theme that deserves to be challenged.
I remember my shock at seeing adoptive parents referred to in some places as "adopters." The adopter seems to be someone who only wanted to parent a child for their own selfish reasons, oblivious to the child's loss. As we challenge the narratives of the "chosen baby" who can only be grateful he or she was adopted and the insistence that adoption is "best solution" for the children it touches, I would caution that we not swing in the other direction and vilify the many parents who have adopted their children after suffering their own losses and have walked the heroes path to raise them.
I adopted my children in the last years before the changes that are now occurring, that is to say in closed adoptions. As the adoption world has opened I have been challenged to rethink what I was told over twenty years ago. In that process, my husband and I have helped both children search for and find their birth families with two dramatically different results. Again, no two situations are the same! In order to do this, I have had to soul search and let go in ways I never imagined years ago when we were given the advice I refer to above. Much to my surprise, it has opened my heart in ways I never imagined and brought into our lives a new extended family for one child that broadens our world and theirs. For my other child, questions were put to rest, but the birth family did not want connection and my child was challenged to grieve again.
I think these two results of search and reunion serve as reminders to us all that no two situations in adoption are the same. Biological connection gives us different kinds of connections, not always positive ones. When it does it is amazing and when it does not, it can be very hard, but also freeing. As we ride the tide of change that is opening us all to each other it is so vital to hold in mind that extreme positions and assumptions about the meaning of our adoption experiences do not allow us the room to have our own individual stories and to learn and grow from them.

Fifty Years ago Johnny Cash did Folsom Prison...
The Witch Review: Tedious, not terrifying? (Spoilers)
By Spencer Coriaty
| March 8, 2016
The plot? We are introduced to a strict Puritan family who is cast out of their settlement in 1630's New England for their overly pious beliefs. Out of options, they resort to farming in a remote, desolate area. In their monastic solitude the family is soon visited by a supernatural Witch living in the woods who forces them to unravel and come apart at the seams.
On a technical level The Witch is commendable for its historical accuracy and attempt a horror period piece. The production design of the wooden house, the Plymouth settler clothing, and the attention to detail with the 1600's dialogue are entirely commendable. But even with all its pleasing aesthetics the movie can't seem to break from its spell of a disjointed plot, a collection of half-baked themes and displeasing characters.
There are glimpses and hints of atmospheric terror sprinkled throughout the film like the beginning shots of the demonic presence in the woods. What follows however are formulaic idiosyncrasies that aren't engaging enough to keep the viewer interested. The farm animals milk turns to blood, the family's newborn baby goes missing, and the goats start jumping up and down on their hind legs. Eggers is clearly a director that believes in slow burning tension without revealing too much. This old school filmmaking technique of less is more can often prove successful, but only if it's handled in the right hands.
Unfortunately Eggers direction clouds the movie with nugatory scenes that don't get us anywhere. The beginning of the film holds some weight, but soon the Witch is treated as a nonentity with more importance on the crumbling relationships within the family. Scene after scene is setup that provides little to no payoff. The father squabbles with his wife, the daughter squabbles with the young twins, and that barnyard animals stare blankly at the screen. The director's attempt to set a mood can't work because we're constantly hit over the head with languorous pacing. About one-third of the movie in and the audience has lost interest. About two-thirds in and we're looking at our watches trying to count down the minutes the credits will finally start rolling.
While the pacing is horribly sluggish the theme of the movie is irritatingly sporadic. Every idea presented here seems to be shortchanged. There is a moment when the daughter in the family, Thomasin, is falsely believed to have supernatural powers. It conjures up images of the Salem Witch Trials which put improper blame on innocent individuals; something we can relate to. Unfortunately the idea is never fleshed out and the concept of paranoid accusations is left on the backburner for laughable scenes in which goats impale humans.
The saddest thing here is that the cast looks to be putting in 100% with their efforts largely wasted. One of the few highlights of the movie is Anya Taylor-Joy performance as Thomasin, which is amazingly authentic as a young woman mistreated by her family. The rest of the cast, comprised of surprisingly talented child actors, do what they can but it isn't much. The movie makes the idealistic decision to have all the dialog in 1600's dialect which is at the same time impressive but incredibly jarring to the audience. The movie would have benefited from placing subtitles on the bottom explaining what each conversation was yammering on about.
As the last few minutes of Robert Egger's stuffy horror movie The Witch come to a close, the audience is left sitting in the cinema quietly subdued and perplexed as to what they just spent the last hour and a half watching.
The film can't make up its mind if it wants to be a character study of isolation and hysteria or a supernatural terror. As a horror The Witch fails in that it's not scary. As a drama the movie suffers from characters that just aren't relatable. The film is about 90 minutes of laborious acts of the mundane with an occasional supernatural jolt that comes too late and too far between.
The Witch has all the pieces needed to make a convincing psychological horror, but the end result is an amorphous mess. The movie ignores cliché horror tropes like cheap jump scares, but it doesn't understand how to substitute them with convincing atmospheric buildups. Instead it wastes its time on gorgeous set production and cinematography, which don't mean a thing unless they're filled with characters and a plot we care about. In the end The Witch pales in comparison to psychological horrors of past like The Shinning or Rosemary's Baby because of its confusion and fascination with the mundane. By the time the credits start rolling you'll be thinking that a Witch had put a spell on you for not walking out sooner.
4/10 – Robert Egger's attempt at atmospheric horror is a dull mess that will have you constantly looking at your watch.

1942: A Love Story is a 1994 Bollywood film starring Anil Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Jackie Shroff, Anupam Kher, Danny Denzongpa, and Pran. The film was the first ever to be given a U/A rating while featuring a scene, previously considered inappropriate for young children, showing the actors kissing. The film was highly acclaimed for its music, songs, picturization, cinematography, lyrics and the portrayal of its leading lady Manisha Koirala, a turning point for her career. The film was released some time after the death of the music director, Rahul Dev Burman. The film received nine Filmfare Awards. This is the first Indian film to use Dolby Stereo.
The film is set in 1942, when the British Raj was declining. It was a time when many Indians were either working for the British or rallying in underground meetings and protests against them. In this atmosphere, Naren Singh (Anil Kapoor) falls in love with Rajeshwari "Rajjo" Pathak (Manisha Koirala). Their romance is shown developing in spite of the political and social unrest at the time.
Love Story 2050 is a 2008 Indian science fiction-romance film starring producer Pammi Baweja and director Harry Baweja's son Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra. Some parts were filmed in Adelaide, Australia. Initially the film was supposed to release on 21 December 2007 but got postponed to 4 July 2008 due to extensive post production work. The premiere was held on 2 July 2008 in London. The film draws a lot of similarity from the 1991 Telugu film Aditya 369, although Telugu film dealt with travel in past as well as future but Love story 2050 was only about travelling to the future. The movie was released on 4 July 2008 to negative reviews and was a commercial disaster.
Karan Malhotra (Harman Baweja) is a spirited and happy-go-lucky boy who does not follow the rules. Sana (Priyanka Chopra) is the opposite of Karan: a sweet and shy girl who lives life by the rules. Even though they are completely opposite, they fall in love, leading to a magical love story.
A scientist, Dr. Yatinder Khanna (Boman Irani), has dedicated 15 years of his life to building a time machine. Sana expresses a wish to time-travel to Mumbai in the year 2050, but she is killed in an accident before her marriage to Karan. Karan wishes to travel back in time and find Sana. Dr. Yatinder, Karan, and Sana's siblings, Rahul and Thea, travel forward in time and reach Mumbai in 2050. They are fascinated by the futuristic Mumbai, with its flying cars, holograms, robots, 200-story buildings and more.

Q: How to deserialize actix web form data and serialize it into csv file? How to deserialize actix_web Form data and serialize it into csv file? Is it possible to use one struct for it?

Is flying to Milford Sound worth it?
So you're going to Queenstown, and everyone keeps going on about how much you absolutely *must see* Milford Sound.
I mean, I'm not here to disagree with them.
Self-drive ¦¦ If you have access to a car, the easiest way to get to Milford Sound might be to just drive it yourself. You just have to pay for petrol and snacks and you're good to go. I hear the scenery along the way is breathtaking, and you'll be able to stop, get out, and take photos to your heart's content. Things to bear in mind are that it's at least a 4 hour drive each way – as the crow flies it's not a large distance, but the road has to skirt the mountains. It makes for a lot of driving in a day, so make sure to not drive tired and check the road conditions before you go and throughout the journey.
This option is hard to cost because I don't know how many snacks you want to buy but using some consultancy-grade back of a napkin calculations I reckon fuel would run you about $120 NZD for the return trip. Bear in mind that's for a whole car full of people so if you can pack 'em in your cost per person decreases nicely. Oh and don't forget petrol ain't that cheap in Queenstown. Neither are snacks. Just sayin'.
Coach ¦¦ Again this is a long drive, but with the benefit of not having to do any of the actual driving yourself. If you're lucky you may even get some food thrown in with this option. However, it's still a long trip and you don't have the benefit of being able to choose your own adventure – when the bus departs, how often you stop, etc. Nano did the coach on the way to Milford Sound and said they had a great driver who stopped as often as they wanted so she could get her photos, so that's encouraging.
You're looking at around $100 NZD per person for this option. There seem to be special offers around for coach trips so do shop around.
Small plane ¦¦ You can get to Milford Sound in just 40 minutes if you fly – which makes this a very appealing option. In addition to the chance to see the beautiful scenery of New Zealand from above, this is a true 'experience' and not just a day trip. The negatives being you're in a very small plane (seats 10 max) so if you're not a keen flyer this isn't the trip for you. Flights are also liable to be cancelled if the weather turns – so either you can have your whole trip cancelled or you are put on a coach for the return journey. I don't know how common this is, just be aware it could happen.
Now, this option ain't cheap. You're looking at around the $400 NZD per person mark, give or take. Everyone seems to charge around this so I'd pick the operator based on quality of experience, convenience, etc. Note this price doesn't include actually landing in Milford Sound – it's just a flight over. If you want to land and do some sort of tour it's an extra $80-100 NZD or so.
You can also mix and match a plane trip with a coach ride although this actually ends up being more expensive than just taking one mode of transport. I wouldn't have expected that so do bear it in mind.
Helicopter ¦¦ If you want to go all out, you can go for the helicopter experience. I believe this included a couple of landings in scenic places on the way – places a plane wouldn't be able to access. I'm not certain on that one though so do check with your operator of choice.
We were quoted an eye watering $950 NZD per person for this option. I've also seen companies where you can have a private helicopter tour, but I dread to think what the cost of that one would have been.
Add-ons ¦¦ Once you get to Milford Sound, you can choose from a variety of activities. Most people will go for a cruise, which I highly recommend. I loved seeing the Sound from the actual water, and we got to see some great wildlife along the way, too. As I mention above, it's only an extra $80ish NZD for this option which personally I found well worth it. We also saw people out kayaking on the lake which looked pretty cool.
So what did we pick?
The flight went without a hitch, our guide was super friendly and nice, and the cruise was on a smaller boat than the rest which personally I preferred. The only thing I'd say is don't bother paying extra for the lunch on board the cruise option. It wasn't worth it – bring your own. Other than that, I can certainly say that flying to Milford Sound is worth it and it's a trip I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a friend.
Have you been to Milford Sound? How did you get there? Can you handle small planes…?
I'm re-living our New Zealand honeymoon through your Instagram posts! We went to so many of the same places, including Milford Sound!! We went with a tour company that took us there and then brought us on an overnight boat cruise. I loved it and we are already planning to go back for our 5-year anniversary.
Wow that is a very small plane! I've never been on one that small, not sure I'd cope well haha. I'm not a good flyer at the best of times though!
This is so beautiful. I must find my way to NZ sometime!
You seem to be hooked on small planes 🙂 Looks like a great trip, and fantastic place (a lot like British Columbia in fact).
Oh my goodness, you're right! It is absolutely stunning! I really need to expand my horizons and travel haha.
We wanted to fly to Milford Sound as you did, but unfortunately the weather conspired against us (despite it being NZ summer) and our flight was continually cancelled. In the end we decided to drive as we didn't want to miss out on seeing it altogether. The drive is long; beautiful, as you say, but also due to the long drive there and back in a day, it didn't leave us that much actual time at Milford Sound. We also went on a cruise which was cool but I certainly didn't get the amazing photo opportunities that you did from the plane. I definitely think you picked the best option and you were lucky your flight got to go ahead!
Oh, that plane trip sounds so awesome! We haven't been to the South Island yet but it's on our future travel list!!
I'm not a small plane person at all…. especially prop planes. They make me super, super nervous. I don't actually know why… I think the opportunity to see NZ from the air would be worth it though!
From all of the pictures that you've been posting, you obviously made a great decision to fly into Milford Sound and then cruise! While the plane and helicopter rides are more expensive than driving, I always say that our motto while on vacation is that we might not come back so we should go all out, so those might be our choices!
That plane is sooooo tiny!
Good to know all the options; my dad travels around this neck of the woods all the time for his work and he has said its quite dangerous to drive at the moment due the foreign tourists coming over and having no idea what to expect from New Zealand roads.
What a great guide! I mean I would like to do them all, especially flying sounds like it would really be worth it!

QinetiQ profit up 35 per cent
28 November 2007 in IT Finance, News
Strong US sales drive income to £46m for the half year
QinetiQ has seen a 34.5 percent jump in half-year profit from £34m to £46m thanks to strong sales in the US defence market.
Sales are 18.5 percent to £638.8m.
The company has made 11 US acquisitions in recent years and has won contracts in Australia and the Middle East. But it is to cut 400 administrative and support jobs across the UK as part of a reorganisation.
A National Audit Office report last week concluded the creation of QinetiQ from the government's Defence Evaluation and Research Agency had not resulted in best value for money for the taxpayer. A 34 per cent stake was sold to a private equity firm, The Carlyle Group, for £125m in 2003. By the time of the 2006 stock exchange flotation, the value had shot up to £1.3bn, based on a 36 per cent revenue increase and a 261 per cent rise in profit.


My Art Studio was open to all art lovers.
THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR VISIT! I REALLY INJOYED IT!!!
My own art studio is # 321 @ Silver Street Studios, is not overly spacious, there is enough room for me to create and display my art.
The walls of the studio are high, lending adequate opportunity to render a good display of the art forms I have created. Its own typical atmosphere as one might suspect, but there is no doubt that the variety of art forms on display lend new freshness and character to it.
It has become my quiet and interesting hideaway where I can create, design, and display what is so close to my heart – art work that hints and tilts back to the natural world of beauty, grace, and splendor. The place where I implement and brainstorm my wildest ideas – sketch them in the rough, and later translate them into formidable pieces of art that often betray a touch of the surreal, the unique, and the contemporary.
It is here, where I try to capture the genuine character of the natural, boldly create and design, and bring to canvas, sculptures and frames that represent the deepest recesses of my heart.
I would be pleased to welcome you for a private visit!
Permanent exhibition, during one of the upcoming events open to the public.

Silver Street is a creative workspace, art and event complex at 2000 Edwards. The project is a redevelopment of the old Silver Eagle Distributors facility by Jon Deal, Paul Hobby and Steve Gibson. The building houses a 20,000 square-foot event space, a 7,000 sq.ft. gallery corridor, and 65 creative studios.
Silver Street, Winter Street and Spring Street represent the largest concentration of working artists' studios in Texas. The three buildings serve as the hub of art activity in the Washington Avenue Cultural District.
A variety of art works will be showcased during the Bi-Annual Opening weekend – paintings, sculpture, ceramics, glass, mosaic, photography, mixed media, and jewelry. Visitors will be treated to museum quality artists, many of them represented by local and nationwide galleries.


Golfer Ai Miyazato is clinging to her #7 world ranking this week, days after losing to Taiwan's Yani Tseng for a third consecutive tournament.
Tseng won the Kia Classic in Carlsbad, California, with a six-stroke 2-under 70, becoming at age 23 the second-youngest player to score 15 Ladies Professional Golf Association tour victories. Nancy Lopez was 22 when she achieved the feat. Tseng won the LPGA Founders Cup a week ago in Phoenix, and before that the LPGA Thailand trophy, with Miyazato on her heels each time.
Miyazato finished in fifth behind South Korea's Sun Young Yoo, China's Shanshan Feng and South Korea's Jiyai Shin. Tseng took away $255,000 with the victory, while Miyazato put $64,156 in her pocket.


Castle of Park is a Scottish tower house built in 1590. Whilst the exterior looks deceptively modest, the inside is surprisingly spacious and gives a glimpse into life as a Jacobean laird.
The first fort on the West Blockhouse site was commissioned by Henry VIII. The current impressive Victorian structure, completed in 1857, housed six guns, 34 men and one officer.
This small thatched cottage is formed from the gatehouse of a medieval castle, which has seen 1000 years of dwelling. A thirteenth-century bridge takes you over a moat to the cottage.
The striking Old Place of Monreith was built in 1600 as a traditional fortified tower house for defence. It sits on the site of an earlier medieval house.
Morpeth Castle was originally a gatehouse, added in about 1350, at the entrance to the castle proper. Over the years, its guests have included Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII.
Saddell Castle, built in the early 16th-century, looks out across the Kilbrannan Sound to the Isle of Arran in a magnificent location on Saddell Bay.
You stay in the only remaining side of a quadrangular castle completed in about 1370. The lodgings were likely commissioned by Sir Guy de Bryan, a close friend of Edward III.
