Provincial Politics
Ontario ties university and college funding to graduates' employment rates and salaries
By Kristin RushowyQueen's Park Bureau

Ontario's colleges and universities will see the majority of their funding tied to measures such as graduate employment rates and salaries starting in two years, a move critics called "absolute insanity" given the ongoing economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
Minister of Colleges and Universities Ross Romano said Thursday that the province had signed agreements with the post-secondary institutions, which each decide the weight of the 10 "metrics" that 60 per cent of their funding will depend on starting in 2024-25.
He said the province consulted with presidents at the institutions and has their buy-in on the changes, and noted the schools aren't competing against one another but will be measured against their own success.
However, if schools don't improve they can lose funding, which goes into a pot for the other institutions that have.
"Our government believes in making institutions accountable for student success," said Romano. "That's why we are making sure Ontario's publicly assisted post-secondary institutions have a clear mandate that is focused on meeting the needs of students and equipping them to succeed in rewarding careers."
He said that "placing a greater emphasis on outcomes will encourage colleges and universities to be more efficient and specialized, and to focus on what they do best."
While critics fear that liberal arts programs could be at risk under the new system, Romano — who noted he has a bachelor of arts degree — said he doesn't expect that to happen.
"The humanities are so critical right now," he said. "The arts are so critical, as they intersect with our tech sector."
Schools will start reporting on the 10 metrics this year, but the funding changes won't kick in for two years, and then not fully until 2024-25.
The government spends about $5.2 billion in operating funding for the province's public 24 colleges and 21 universities, with the bulk of that money tied to enrolment.
NDP post-secondary critic Chris Glover said it's wrong to tie 60 per cent of funding to "outcomes and political directives set by the Doug Ford government" and called the move "absolutely appalling."
Research "clearly shows that this kind of funding just destabilizes institutions and makes it impossible for them to budget" and also negatively impacts education quality, Glover said.
He said colleges and universities agreed to these changes "with a gun to their heads. This is bad for students, and bad for institutions and it's absolute insanity to do in the middle of a pandemic" and when the future of the economy is so uncertain.
Rahul Sapra, president of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations and a professor at Ryerson, said "during his briefing, Romano kept repeating that, 'You do not remain the best by standing still.' He should take his own advice and not immobilize universities and colleges by wrapping them in more red tape."
Sapra said performance-based funding "is a solution in search of a problem ... Romano failed to demonstrate how this model will do anything to help Ontario's post-secondary institutions, faculty, or students."
If the province "meaningfully consulted with faculty and students, they would know that this is the wrong funding model at the worst possible time," he said.
The metrics schools will be judged on include: graduation rates, graduate employment rates (in a related field) and salaries, experiential learning, skills/competencies, research funding (universities), apprenticeships (colleges), funding and research level from industry sources, and community and economic impact.
The schools themselves can determine the weight of each metric, up to a maximum of 25 per cent.
"We do not want to, in any way, be penalizing" schools financially, Romano said. "That is not the purpose."
Corrections- Nov. 27, 2020: This article was edited from a previous version that mistakenly transposed the number of public colleges and universities funded by the province. The province funds 24 colleges and 21 universities.

Boeing stock trading strategy
Еrading analysis on shares of the company Boeing
Need to know advice for all new traders in the stock market.
Boeing, with its headquarters in Chicago, is now the biggest manufacturer of military (including the space) and aviation technology in the world. Recently, a new generation of fighter aircraft, developed by the company made its first test flight, and it was successful. Shares of the company have gone up all the time, because the fighters already by 2024 can enter the US Army. But today, the market froze in anticipation - Turkishair cargo Boeing crashed in Kyrgyzstan. What will be the outcome of the investigation? How will this affect the shares of Boeing?
Shares of the company shot up again to new heights in the stock market. All of our recommendations, which we did earlier, reached the target. We greatly underestimated the capabilities of these shares. Their growth is impressive in its scope, which could significantly increase your account with a broker. This steady upward trend rarity on the waves of the stock market unpredictability. Now shares huddle to the level of 160.00. If you draw a support trend line, the triangle will be visible. This figure shows the continuation of the current trend, mainly up. So we wait for the price break through this new high, and buy the stock with a realistic target at 300 points.
• Chart timeframe: H4
• The level of entry into long position: 160.00
• The level of profit and close the position: 163.00 (300 pips)
Possible bullish movement in the breakout of the resistance level 1208
Possible bearish movement in the breakdown of the support level 113.50

Editor's Note: This essay is adapted from a speech sponsored by the Heritage Foundation and the Claremont Institute, delivered on November 15, 2004 in Washington, DC.
hat emerged from the 2004 election was a moral consensus, and with it, something we might call a mandate. But it is not the mandate some are talking about.
Let's begin with some inescapable facts. George W. Bush is the first president of either party since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 to be reelected while gaining seats in both houses of Congress. President Bush won a majority of the popular vote (the first president in four elections to win a clear majority). He won by more votes (a margin of over 3 million) than Bill Clinton (both times), Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon (in 1968), John F. Kennedy, or Harry Truman. The president increased his support from almost every sector imaginable: black voters (although only a little, by about 3 percentage points), Hispanic voters (13 points), Jewish voters (5 points), and Catholic voters (about 5 points, which translates, however, into at least 1.5 million votes, half of his margin of victory). Meanwhile, Tom Daschle became the first party leader in the Senate to be ousted in over 50 years, and Louisiana elected its first Republican Senator since Reconstruction.
So what happened? To use a phrase of the Left, people "thought globally and acted locally" in this election. We saw this especially on the moral issues offered up by ballot initiatives, the most prominent being gay "marriage." Amendments against gay marriage succeeded in all eleven states where they were on the ballot, even in liberal Oregon. In job-wracked Ohio, which delivered Bush's electoral-college victory, the amendment succeeded by over 60%; and Phil Burress, who organized the initiative there, registered 54,000 new voters on the strength of that issue alone. In Ohio, the black community voted for President Bush by a greater percentage than their national average, giving him 16% compared to 11% nationwide. As a result, Ohio, which may have lost more jobs than any other state, delivered a 118,000 vote majority to Bush because of something more important, apparently, than jobs.
According to the National Exit Poll, when asked, more voters cited "moral values" as their top issue than cited the economy, terrorism, or Iraq. Other polls revealed a moral values vote as well. Of course, the choices are not completely severable, nor are the issues suggested by the phrase "moral values" severable either. Terrorism and Iraq are linked; and there are deep moral dimensions to the war on terrorism—especially for Bush voters. To some voters, perhaps many, "moral values" implied something about the character of the candidates. Bush voters clearly had a high opinion of President Bush's character when it came to such things as leadership, reliability, and credibility.
But surely, some meant what we usually mean by moral values—issues of life, family, country, decency, the coarsening of the culture. In the 2004 election we saw an emphatic rejection of political and cultural leftism on such matters for the second time in 30 years. The last time we experienced this emphatically was 1976, when Americans rejected McGovernism in the Democratic Party by nominating and then electing Jimmy Carter, the seemingly morally serious, and openly evangelical, candidate for president. The hopes and dreams for Jimmy Carter were dashed during his presidency (and he has been a great disappointment since), but in 1976 Carter was the most religious—and socially conservative—candidate.
The Return of the Left
For a quarter-century, the cultural Left was kept from dominating the Democratic Party. But in 2004, it returned. Back from exile, it was Michael Moore, Hollywood, and prominent parts of the mainstream media (think CBS and the New York Times) that made leftist politics and culture central themes for the Democrats.
John Kerry may himself have been a Vietnam veteran who gave a fairly hawkish convention speech, but his votaries, his movement, took it all with a wink and a nod—as what he had to say to try to get elected. His supporters (unlike their platform) were against the war. They debated and argued against the war across the country and on national television, objecting to Abu Ghraib more than to Saddam Hussein. Their opposition was so deep that John Kerry and John Edwards refused to sit through a Joint Session of Congress address by Iyad Allawi (the only leader in the Arab world seeking to build a democratic state) and then allowed their spokesman to call him "a puppet." They harped on a putative failure in Tora Bora more than they saluted Afghanistan's free elections. They obsessed on our failures—and we had failures—but they ignored our successes, and we certainly had those too. So, in foreign policy—on the conduct of the war—a part of the 1960s Left (the blame-America-firsters) was back, and seemingly in charge.
A clear demonstration of this was how Michael Moore's message in his movie Fahrenheit 9/11 gradually became indistinguishable from the Democratic Party's message. This was dangerous, because Michael Moore had said incredible things—that Americans are dumb, that George Bush was a deserter from the military (desertion is a federal crime), and that Iraq's bloodthirsty thugs were the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers. Yet the Democrats embraced Michael Moore and invited him into the Democratic sanctum sanctorum: first, at an official campaign rally for General Wesley Clark, where he had called President Bush a "deserter"; and later at the Washington, D.C., premier of Fahrenheit 9/11, attended by such Democratic luminaries as 9/11 commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste, DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe, Senator Tom Daschle, and Senator Tom Harkin. Finally, and triumphantly, Moore was given full and almost royal access to the Democratic National Convention, garnering the largest and most enthusiastic crowds, and availing himself of a prime seat in President Jimmy Carter's box.
All this was predictable, long before John Kerry's Democratic acceptance speech. Before the summer conventions, we already knew what the Democrats had done: they had nominated the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. They put leftism front and center, and they wore it with pride.
In this way, the Democrats in general, and John Kerry in particular, fundamentally misunderstood the heart and soul of this country. Those words—heart and soul—are Kerry's words, not mine. He used them when he attended a July fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Senator Kerry sat through a Hollywood performance where John Cougar Mellencamp sang a song entitled "Texas Bandito," where Meryl Streep caustically questioned President Bush's commitment to Jesus, where a comedian said "Latins for Republicans is like roaches for Raid," and where Whoopi Goldberg described the president—and his name—in pornographic terms. At the conclusion of this "Concert for John Kerry," the senator claimed that what was said there "conveyed the heart and soul of America." (Tapes of the event, though much requested, were never released.)
At that moment, American business, which often knows best what Americans want, think, and feel, got it. The Democratic Party did not. Immediately after this concert, Slim Fast fired Whoopi Goldberg as a spokeswoman. Slim Fast knew more about the American heart and soul than did the Kerry campaign or the DNC. And so their campaign went on and on—with record Democratic fundraising and with Democrats outspending Republicans in "527" attack ads questioning the president's military service as well as his honesty. Al Gore told large audiences that the president "betrayed this country," and compared the administration to Nazis ("digital brown shirts"). Howard Dean remained on the hustings throughout 2004, intoning that the president had "lied," and that the "Republicans are essentially the best propaganda machine since Lenin." John Kerry repeatedly said that President Bush lied about going to war. Tom Harkin called Dick Cheney a "coward." NAACP president Kweisi Mfume (who has since announced his resignation) said President Bush would take us back to the days of Jim Crow segregation. Max Cleland charged that President Bush was AWOL during Vietnam. Ted Kennedy (who had rescued Kerry from Howard Dean during the primaries by showing up to burnish Kerry's liberal credentials) said the Iraq war "was made up in Texas...the whole thing was a fraud," and that "Iraq was George Bush's Vietnam." The list goes on and on. High-ranking Republican spokesmen, by contrast, made no such ad hominem attacks. There was no Republican Michael Moore. The worst charge hurled against Kerry was that he was a flip-flopper, to which the Democrats replied, no, he was a consistent liberal. Or was that a moderate? At any rate, he flip-flopped consistently.
The country would not, and could not, swallow what Kerry represented nor what his supporters sold—not those words, not this kind of leftism. Kerry no more knew the heart and soul of this country than did his advisors. They tried to leverage unprecedented anger into a fury of anti-war sentiment, something that almost never works in wartime here. And they missed the "heart and soul" elsewhere: Bill Clinton (who knows something about how to run against Republicans) instructed Kerry to campaign in strong support of the initiatives against gay "marriage," but to no avail. Three days after the election, Clinton criticized Kerry for merely endorsing these initiatives "once or twice, instead of 3,000 times."
The Left argued—and has been arguing since the election—we know what this moral values thing is all about: that the right wing, and the Christian Right, had captured the Bush campaign. Many on the Left still cling to this notion. Bill Maher stated, after the election, that "the Christian Right is hijacking this country." Garry Wills wrote, "Where else do we find fundamentalist zeal, a rage at secularity, religious intolerance, fear of and hatred for modernity?" Maureen Dowd, of theNew York Times, wrote: "W. ran a jihad in America so he can fight one in Iraq—drawing a devoted flock of evangelicals, or 'values voters,' as they call themselves, to the polls by opposing abortion, suffocating stem cell research, and supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage." In fact, what President Bush stood for, ran on, and won on is a center-right morality, which we might call common moral sense. America has not turned far-right. What the president stood for is mainstream. In this election, the voters affirmed both that the Left's political message does not resonate in America, and that the far Right does not govern America.
Moreover, President Bush did not manipulate "a devoted flock of evangelicals"—in fact, they were out in front of him and his campaign on many issues, and often frustrated over what they regarded as the White House's indecisiveness. To be sure, President Bush is conservative on many things, but his conservatism leaves plenty of room to his right. Yes, Bush drew the support of evangelical Christians and should have: he is deeply sympathetic to much that, rightly, troubles them. Yet evangelicals' support of him is not the biggest part of the electoral story, because Bush drew very large support from Catholics, and even raised his numbers among Jews (who gave him more support than to any Republican in four presidential elections—in fact, the Orthodox Jewish community gave him 69% of their vote). Plain numbers: Bush received just over 60 million votes; approximately 20 million of those votes came from evangelicals. Forty million came from other people.
Bush did not campaign vociferously on ending abortion; he campaigned against partial birth abortion (which Kerry supports, and a vast majority of Americans oppose). The president did not suffocate stem cell research; he was the first president to fund it, and then barred further federal funding of it. President Bush did support a constitutional amendment to bar gay marriage—but so did voters in every state where they could add such a ban to their state constitutions. In short, the president campaigned from the middle, or the middle-right, and he won.
A Moral Agenda
Having won a mandate for common moral sense, what will President Bush do with it? In his first press conference, he provided an initial outline of the agenda: "Social Security and tax reform, moving this economy forward, education, fighting and winning the war on terror." Is this a values agenda? Well it may not be the values agenda the religious Right would like to emphasize—and some have said so already—but it is a values agenda nonetheless. Social Security and tax reform do speak to family values—and morality. A robust reform of Social Security is long over-due, and President Bush is the first candidate to have the courage to speak about it and campaign on it. Also, for as long as I can remember, conservatives have looked to the tax code to support the American family, ranging from such measures as the elimination of the marriage penalty to the child tax credit.
I would like to see the president and his party build on these reforms. He should seek more and better school choice in the No Child Left Behind law. Currently, it allows only public-school choice; it should include private-school choice as well. We should move forward with a reauthorization of welfare reform featuring a strong marriage component and a renewed effort on faith-based initiatives. We should seek the defunding of Title X family planning—and instead, put more emphasis on abstinence programs for young people. We should fight a stronger and more public war on drugs. Perhaps we will need a renewed federal Defense of Marriage Act or Federal Marriage Amendment. And, last but not least, a vigorous backing of a constitutionalist federal judiciary. For better or worse (mostly, worse) Tocqueville was right: "There is hardly a political question in the United States which does not sooner or later turn into a judicial one." Ultimately, the courts must secure President Bush's domestic legacy. We have been too reticent for too long on court appointments. The president won the election; he should nominate strong federal judges, over and over again, and campaign for their approval, over and over again.
But there is more. We are fighting a war. The election revealed that the American people want a physical defense of the country as well as a moral defense—and they do not separate the two. Ronald Reagan upheld the defense of the country on a moral basis, as did Abraham Lincoln (and whose fervent opposition to slavery was based in moral conviction). The war on terrorism and the war in Iraq are not separate—and they are not separate from the great moral cause of our time: freedom versus slavery, democracy versus tyranny, civilization versus barbarism.
The American Mainstream
The reason all of these things are not severable is that they are all a function of what philosophers have called the moral point of view. And we have a president who has one.
On all these issues, we have a large, robust, and compelling agenda—a moral agenda—and, I might add, an eminently achievable agenda. Public opinion is everything, Lincoln observed, and this president now has a mandate based on public opinion. The time has come to pursue these goals with renewed energy from the executive branch. For this is a course of action resoundingly approved, not by extremists and radicals, but by a broad swath of Americans: the Right, the center Right, a little of the anti-terrorist center Left, and an awful lot of the center itself.
So, looking back at the election of 2004, we can say, with all due respect to William Butler Yeats, that the center can hold and is holding. This center—and the range of moral values it represents—is not the project of extremists, jihadists, or radicals. It is the project of us—our neighbors and our friends—and it was just spoken for by people all over this country, in every part of this country, and in every state of this country—be it red or blue.

Nanga Parbat, Sanskrit for "Naked Mountain" is so named because some of its slopes are so steep that they are bereft of vegetation and snow. According to the local old legend, Nanga Parbat is also called Diamir, which means abode of fairies. It is believed that the Queen of fairies lives there in a castle made of solidice crystal is guarded by gigantic snow serpents and frogs. The earlier disasters in climbing this mountain are attributed to the displeasure of fairies. Nanga Parbat is not a single peak but consists of 20km long series of peaks and ridges culminating in an ice crest of (8125m). Its South Face known as Rupal Face is (5000m) high, while the North or Raikot Face plunging over (7000m) from the summit to the Indus forms one of the world's deepest gorge. This expedition takes us to the West Side, which is known as Diamir Face.
Nanga Parbat is the second highest mountain of Pakistan and ninth highest in the world. It is not part of the Karakoram as it is the western extremity of the mighty Himalaya. It is separated from the Karakoram by the mighty Indus River. Since the first disastrous British expedition led by A. F. Mummery in 1895, mountaineers have tried to ascend its summit through different routes but few lucky ones have succeeded. In 1934 four German climbers and six porters perished in a storm. In 1937 disaster 18 Sherpas and 12 climbers were buried alive by avalanche that covered their camp. In fact Nanga Parbat has claimed more lives than any other 8000er relative to the number of attempts, hence the frightening nickname of Killer Mountain. It was first climbed in 1953 by a joint Austrian - German Expedition. Hermann Buhl made the final ascent in a tortuous 41 hours solo ordeal without oxygen. Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner climbed the south face (Rupal Face) with his brother Gunther in 1970, descending by the Diamir face, where Gunther lost his life.

"The market climbs a wall of worry." You've heard it hundreds of times. It sticks around because it's true. And we know it is true, at some level. But it is always in the moments of true worry that we want to discount this (and all other) time-hardened wisdom.
Because we will forget, here's what the Wall of Worry has looked like over the past five and a half years.
a) Unemployment is 9%. Corporate earnings fell 90% over the last 12 months. 10 major banks went bankrupt or sold at fire-sale prices in the last 9 months in the United States alone. The ultimate blue-chip (GE) just announced it is cutting its dividend by 66%.
b) Unemployment is still going up! The US Dollar is absolutely tanking. There's no way this dead cat bounce is legit.
c) Deficit spending is out of control! We are on a path to ruin.
d) Dodd-Frank will cripple the financial industry and permanently slow economic growth.
e) The US is going to hit the debt ceiling and default on its obligations. We will lose our position as the world's reserve currency and life as we know it will be over.
f) The "Arab Spring" is destabilizing the Middle East and will lead to international war.
g) China's "hard landing" will have a ripple effect on the global economy, which is not strong enough to take such a big blow.
h) Greece. Italy. Spain. Portugal. The Euro is a failed experiment. The "Grexit" will cripple already-weak European countries. A lack of stability will lead us all back into a global recession.
i) Too much "uncertainty" surrounding Obamacare is preventing US companies from reinvesting in their own growth.
j) More "uncertainty" surrounding US politics as we head into the 2012 elections. If Obama wins, the country's economy will be in tatters.
k) North Korea is threatening the world with nuclear weapons. It's not "safe" to be in the markets.
l) The Boston bombings claim the lives of 3 people and injure hundreds more.
m) Unable to produce a spending bill, the US Federal Government shuts down. Our country is clearly too dysfunctional to invest right now.
n) Russia invades Ukraine. We are on the brink of a possible global war. Only fools would be invested now.
o) Ebola outbreaks reach the US. A spread could decimate the global economy.
So when the next bear market comes, when things get scary again and you try to tell yourself that it was "easier" back in the bull market, pull this back up. It's never easy. There is always uncertainty. There is always a great reason to sit on the sidelines and wait for better economic conditions. Except that the better conditions never come, and in the process you miss the incredible power of long-term compounded returns.

The Bishops Castle Railway was begun in 1861, planned as a line from Craven Arms to Montgomery, thus linking the Shrewsbury to Hereford line to the Oswestry to Newtown line (later called the Cambrian Line), linking Mid-Wales and Shrewsbury, with a branch line from Lydham to Bishop's Castle. From the start, the railway was hampered by shortage of capital. Many investors were already involved in more established lines and did not want competition and distractions to dilute their returns. Although the company continued to build, possibly hoping to dispel doubts and generate interest, the line ultimately only reached Bishop's Castle and was sold in 1867.
The Bishop's Castle Railway ran from near this place to Craven Arms from 1865 to 1935. This plaque was unveiled on October 24th 2015, the 150th anniversary of the Railway's opening.

Through a random series of events including a missed return flight home, I found myself having cocktails at a beach café in Cape Town on Friday night with a few new girl friends. After hearing my story and with encouraging nods of support, one declared that I should read Arianna Huffington's book Thrive because "you need it!".
To begin with, I live a pretty glorious life. Not always easy, but pretty glorious. I do the kind of work that I truly believe is my life's calling, providing me with new experiences almost daily and taking me to distant lands I wouldn't have imagined I'd possibly travel to. The journey of a first generation entrepreneur in your family is one of the toughest paths that one can choose. Nobody before you is fronting startup capital or buffer income to live off until you generate a profit and it does not come with a great social network of contacts to broker strategic deals. It's a tough struggle and the risk of failure comes with dire consequences.
Despite this upward battle, I managed to have successes along the way, including awards, loads of recognition through media coverage for my work, great feedback from those who have benefited from my offering and I get invited to be part of awesome opportunities. Along the way I did however lose myself. With a steep learning curve and low on resources, I allowed circumstances to slowly start chipping away at various parts of me for the sake of the business. Not only is pulling all-nighters or sleeping for four or five hours at best over-glorified in the entrepreneurial community but I let go of all my hobbies one-by-one. My spiritual life took a beating and I was never available to friends – either because of being too broke or busy the calls slowed down and eventually stopped. I always felt guilty for not being available to family, but kept prioritizing mounting deadlines anyway. When not working I was mostly out at networking events with the lines blurring between friendships and acquaintances until hardly any identity remained beyond a work context. My most meaningful relationship was with my business partner and when that relationship disintegrated, it followed a huge depressing void, but the fight needed to continue despite the loneliness and skills gap – and so it did.
I have never been a sickly person but in the past three years I have been battling allergies and when I get ill, I'm wiped out for about a week. I got first stage shingles when my business partnership fell apart and somehow still managed to travel and speak at conferences, wearing long-sleeved shirts to cover the evidence of painful boils. At some point my doctor put me on a six-month immune booster and encouraged me to "take it easy" as I suppose they all do. My life literally came to a crash when my car got hit by a bus with me in it, missing the driver's door which possibly saved my life but the car was a write-off. The accident was no fault of my own but I do believe that God was trying to give me a wake-up call. What did Lesley do?….. well, I had my car moved and got a ride to my next meeting (face palm moment). Soon into the meeting I had a migraine which lasted for a week. I forced myself to work only to get a kidney stone a week later. Lying alone on my bathroom floor clenching my belly, throwing up and with the most excruciating pain I would not wish upon anyone was eventually my "aha" moment.
After closing shop last June, I went to Calitzdorp in the Klein Karoo to look after the farm of my old priest for a week. I forgot my cellphone charger in Joburg (thanks God) and spent the week praying, meditating, journaling, reading and taking the dogs for long walks through vineyards, olive groves and the valley. I spent five months mostly sleeping, crying and starting my recovery from burnout with the help of a few sessions with my psychologist, gifted business coach, priest and five remarkable friends who allowed me to be depressed without judgement but also gently (and sometimes harshly) spurred me on. I say "starting my recovery" because I feel like an alcoholic in the sense that you can't ever stop managing it.
The second half of 2015 was about reconnecting to God with a sense of wonder, appreciating this blessed life that I get to live. With this core in place, I can now re-imagine the kind of life that I want to live. It is essential that I start my day giving thanks and I have recently started taking up yoga again. I've never been a jogger but after a three-day hike in the Semien Mountains of Ethiopia where I realized just how unfit I am; I've started doing it at my own pace – small steps while taking deep breaths. I am trying to alternate between hiking and biking over the weekends and can see my guitar giving me the side eye from my bedroom corner. Who knows which hobbies I'll discard and pick up again. I am rebuilding me. My weight and body shape may never be what it once was but I appreciate this vessel for carrying me thus far.
I do not claim to have now mastered self-care but it is a daily practice that I have to prioritize. I now understand why the flight attendant says "own mask first" because I am of no use to anyone if I am not abundantly refilled. I'd like to give from a place of joy, not depletion. I'd love to have a sustained glorious life.
Lesley, I am inundated with work and recently my blood pressure started reaching for the stars. So I am at the point you are. Learning that the basics are what counts, Jesus first, but slso looking after the body and soul.
Thanks for sharing your story which will help so many in this frenetic world that measures our successes not by the lives we touch but by the fame and glory of realising rapacious ambition!
Thanks for your simply said yet powerful story. It resonates with so many innovative-minded women who also get burned-out. But not all find understanding when they need it and recover their 'bounce-back ability. After this a person is always more vulnerable to hyper-vigilance (being overly alert to a perceived threat). Have you read Adriana Huffington's book on women called 'Fearless Women.' I find it inspiring when things get overwhelming. Go well and be gentle with your self, and find time to put joy (and not just work) into each day.

From June 1, 2005 until February 19, 2009, the Foresight Institute Update was named the Foresight Institute Weekly News Digest. An earlier quarterly newsletter titled Foresight Update was published from June 15, 1987 through spring of 2007, and is archived here.
Two books are available on the Web that present Foresight's vision of nanotechnology.
Since January of 1993, Senior Associates of Foresight Institute have received a quarterly "insider's newsletter" originally written by Foresight Founder Eric Drexler, and more recently by other Foresight principals. A library of past letters will be made available to Senior Associates.
As a nonprofit public foundation with the goal of promoting beneficial nanotechnology, Foresight Institute has included the development of public policy recommendations in its work since the beginning.
Foresight Background carried essays, question-and-answer sets, reference information, and other materials not expected to date rapidly. These were mostly written in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Foresight Briefings present more in-depth treatment of topics of special interest. These were written from the late 1980s through the late 1990s.
Foresight Institute's Mission was updated in 2004. The previous version of Foresight's purpose, policy, and perspective, as well as even earlier versions from 1992 and 1991, are available for comparison.
Foresight has long supported the development of new systems and technologies that will lead to better dissemination of information and analysis of proposed policies as an objective that is crucial to addressing emerging technologies. Foresight co-founder Eric Drexler (who is no longer affiliated with Foresight) devoted a chapter of Engines of Creation to "The Network of Knowledge" and wrote a 1987 essay "Hypertext Publishing and the Evolution of Knowledge". This interest led Foresight in 1996 to advocate enhancing the World Wide Web to provide true hypertext publishing functionality. These efforts eventually produced the CritSuite software enabling bidirectional, fine-grained annotation of any web text. This project has been completed and the original crit.org domain is no longer associated with the project. Web enhancement archive.
Presentations either made by Foresight Institute principals or made by others at Foresight Conferences and events. The links are either to PDF files created from PowerPoint slide presentations, to papers written in conjunction with the presentations, or to audio files or other media files from the presentation.

Hours after yet another Pakistani warning about incursions on its soil, an airstrike killed nine people and wounded two others at a school owned by a pro-Taliban Islamic cleric. Quoting local sources in the South Waziristan tribal area, Pakistani intelligence sources said the strike had come from a suspected US spy drone. The Washington Post reported that Pakistan plans to arm thousands of anti-Taliban tribesmen in the region in hopes of replicating the successful "Awakening" movement against Al Qaeda in Iraq.
US forces transferred control over security in Iraq's Shiite-dominated Babil Province to government troops Thursday, leaving only six areas still in American hands. Only if asked for help will the Americans be involved in future security operations there, officials said. Meanwhile, however, a terrorist in Baghdad rammed his explosives-laden car into a motorcade carrying Labor Minister Mahmoud Mohammad al-Radhi, a Shiite. He escaped injury, but 13 other people were killed.
Defying China's government, the European Union awarded its prestigious annual human rights prize to dissident activist Hu Jia. Hu, who is serving a 3-1/2-year prison term for subversion of state power, was named the winner of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. In Beijing, the Internal Affairs Ministry called the announcement "criminal interference in China's judicial sovereignty." China had sought to deny Hu both the Sakharov award and the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize, for which he also was a nominee. The Nobel Prize went instead to Finnish diplomat Martti Ahtissari earlier this month.
With President Umaru YarAdua's fate in the balance, the Supreme Court of Nigeria delayed its decision Thursday on whether he was elected legitimately last year. The ruling, a court spokesman said, will be revealed at an unspecified later date. Election monitors declared the April 2007 vote was flawed, and two rivals filed challenges seeking to annul the results. YarAdua has pledged to "step down immediately" if the court rules against him.
In spite of a pledge not to do so, Colombian police fired on ethnic Indian protesters with live ammunition last week, President Álvaro Uribe conceded. But in reversing his original stance on the incident, he maintained at a news conference Wednesday that two people who died in the incident had been handling a home-made bomb that exploded. The Indians have been demonstrating since Oct. 10 to demand that Uribe's government honor promises to protect their land.
Police in Mexico City said one of 16 people arrested following a shootout earlier this week is Jesus Zambada Garcia, a leader of the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel. Zambada gave a false name when he was captured, and his identity couldn't be confirmed until days later. The Justice Ministry called his arrest "one of the most significant" in President Felipe Calderón's uphill campaign against the drug trade.
All pupils in England's state-supported primary schools must be instructed in sex education, the government announced Thursday. The order applies to children as young as age 5. Schools Minister Jim Knight said, "It's vital that this information does not come from playground rumor or mixed messages from the media." According to records, 4,376 girls under 16 in Britain had abortions last year, the highest rate in Western Europe.
At least 27 people died and 17 others were hurt in a massive explosion Thursday at an illegal fireworks factory in western India. The blast occurred in Deeg, 120 miles northwest of Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan State. Such accidents are not uncommon in India, where illegal fireworks factories spring up to meet demand before the annual Hindu festival of lights in late October.

Prague 12 also rejected the revised project of apartment buildings in Kamýk
Sugar Mizzy August 26, 2021
The original project was reduced by several floors, but according to the city district, it is still oversized and has worsened the traffic situation and quality of life in the area. Eva Burianová, a spokeswoman for the city district, told ČTK today. In addition to the town hall, the locals also opposed the construction planned by Trigema in the past. More than a year ago, the municipality and the Ministry of Regional Development joined them, according to which the plan was in conflict with the zoning plan.
"The oversized design of the proposed building in comparison with the surrounding buildings still applies. There is a risk that there will be a large number of parking spaces for local residents and, last but not least, there will be civic amenities in the vicinity of the proposed project, which is not ready to accommodate more new residents, "bring Deputy Mayor Eva Tylová (BEZPP / Pirates with Green Support).
According to the resolution of the city council, the proposal does not meet the limits of the zoning plan. In addition, according to Tyl, the developer uses public land during construction, on which there is now a partial park, to which he has no legal right.
The Two Towers project included two apartment buildings originally with 18 and 14 floors, the height has now been reduced to 15 and nine floors. They are to be built in Vosátková Street in the Kamýk housing estate instead of a low-rise shopping center.

When Is Compensation Due Under the Highlands
1. Use of the Property
Before a Court will determine that a landowner has been deprived of the use of his property, it may ask what proof of that use. In Williamson County Planning Comm v. Hamil Bank, 473 U.S. 172 (1985), the U.S. Supreme Court said.
Viewing a regulation that "goes too far" as an invalid exercise of the police power, rather than as a "taking" for which just compensation must be paid, does not resolve the difficult problem of how to define "too far," that is, how to distinguish the point at which regulation becomes so onerous that it has the same effect as an appropriation of the property through eminent domain or physical possession.[17] As we have noted, resolution of that 200 question depends, in significant part, upon an analysis of the effect the Commission's application of the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations had on the value of respondent's property and investment-backed profit expectations. That effect cannot be measured until a final decision is made as to how the regulations will be applied to respondent's property. No such decision had been made at the time respondent filed its § 1983 action, because respondent failed to apply for variances from the regulations.
2. Exhaustion of Administrative remedies
Additionally, there may be administrative remedies that need to be utilized. The landlowner failed to apply for a waiver or compensation, the Highland Commission could argue to respond to a court challenge.
Are you denied the use of your property but getting no compensation. Selected cases handled on contingency. Call (973) 598-1980

Q: How to pass a url title in a form action in django sorry for newbie question, I'm learning django and ran into a problem.
I'm trying to pass a page title to url that will searched for in views for .md file with name of that title. (Page's title is coming up dynamically from other function in views, i.e {{ title }}).
HTML:
<form action="{% url 'edit' %}">
{% csrf_token %}

    <button class="btn btn-outline-info" type="submit">Edit page</button>

urls.py:
path("wiki/edit/", views.edit_page, name="edit")

views.py:
def edit_page(request, page):
    if request.method == "GET":
        return render(request,"encyclopedia/edit_page.html", {
            "pagename": page,
            "html": markdown2.markdown(util.get_entry(page))
        })

What is the best practice for this. Thanks very much!

A: only add this /<str:page> to your path it means to put any string at this part of url and you will get this string in your page parameter in your view function
path("wiki/edit/<str:page>", views.edit_page, name="edit")

and for the form action put    {%url 'edit' title %}

A: You have just missed by a bit,only part you need to update is your html template and your urls.py
<form action="{% url 'edit' page=title %}">
  {% csrf_token %}

    <button class="btn btn-outline-info" type="submit">Edit page</button>

your urls.py should be as:
urls.py path("wiki/edit/(?P<page>.+?)/$", views.edit_page, name="edit")

Note that this method is ideal in case you are passing title with spaces or characters

Bet matches and our first win as a team
Posted by: girisopinion on: August 21, 2009

A typical cricket maidan where kids in India spend their weekend mornings playing cricket
When you look back at your childhood some memories always linger in your mind. For me as a kid growing up in India playing cricket was normal. The best memory of playing cricket was when few friends form a team and start playing matches with random teams we find in the ground. We wake up at around 6:00 AM, gather around at a common spot and leave to the ground with our kit. Sometimes we would have a pre-scheduled game and sometimes we would go to the ground, find a great spot, pitch the stumps and wait for find another team who are looking for a game. It was fantastic experience. We had a decent team and had lots of fun playing together. We had players from all age groups and it was fun to play as a team and enjoy the time spent with each other whether we win or lose.
Even though we played for fun, the fact that we kept losing played on our minds a lot. This changed when we played a game against a team we did not even know, scored just 48 runs in a 12 over game and bowled them out for 48. So not exactly a win but gave us a huge amount of confidence. That was the first time we did not lose a game.
That tied game was followed by our first win as a team and it was unfortunate that it wasn't a bet match :). The memory of that game is still fresh in my mind. We were playing a team who had beaten us couple of times before so obviously we did not have much hope. We did not even have a full X1 and picked out a guy who was at the ground and was hoping to get a game with some team. The funny part is that he turned out to be our best bowler of the day. This was just a friendly game and they won the toss and elected to bat first. We did not start that well with the ball but eventually restricted them to a decent total. Considering it was just a 16 over game, we had done a decent job in keeping them down to just 95 runs. We wanted to win this game badly but before we realised we were 4 down for about 17 (I don't remember the exact score or the overs but remember the situation) and things weren't looking good for us.
That's when I came into bat and my cousin was already batting at the other end. Having lost 4 wickets already we decided to go for the broke as we realised that keeping wickets isn't going to help at this stage. It was counterattack of epic proportions and the opposition hadn't expected this. I have had few partnerships with my cousin before but this was the best. The fact that we kept hitting boundaries at will was just amazing. I couldn't believe that this was the same team to whom we had lost before as they were completely falling apart with every passing over.
At the end of the 14th over we needed just 4 to win with both of us still at the crease and I was really nervous as this was going to be our first win as a team. The first three balls of the over, I wasn't able to connect and I decided whatever happens I am going to throw the kitchen sink at the next ball I am going to face as we had enough batsmen in the hut even if I got out. The ball was short outside off stump and I hit the ball as hard as I could, the ball sailed over the boundary over the cover fielder for a six and that was it. It was our first win as a team and that too we completely hammered them in the end. It was a great feeling. Even though it was just a tennis ball game and wasn't a bet match we enjoyed the victory.
We would go on to win couple more games after that but nothing as sweet as the first one. We stopped playing after that summer as people got busy with academics and I left to US the following winter for studies. But those memories will never fade away. Memories are all we carry throughout our lives and that sure was a great one for me.

Love for the game
Kids playing cricket in India
I was like any other kid in India growing up in Chennai. Like most I was drawn to Cricket at a very young age. A wooden plank and a rubber ball and you are good to go. Cricket is one of the most inexpensive outdoor games anyone can play. For me as a kid I started playing the game even before I understood the rules. Even the harshest critic of the game now would have at least had a couple of hits during his younger days. I still remember the first time I watched any cricket match. It was India Vs Pakistan and Sachin Tendulkar smashed Mushtaq Ahmed for two consecutive sixes in Sharjah.
Since then I have been hooked on to this great game. Cricket has been a part of my life in one way or the other for almost 18 years now. I used to watch almost every game that India played, kept track of the records Sachin broke (I Still do) and played the game whenever possible. We even had a team in our locality in Chennai and we used to play some matches with random teams in the play grounds when we were young.
The playgrounds in Chennai during the weekends were an incredible sight. Starting at 6:00 AM in the mornings teams used to run to the grounds to catch a spot to play a match. The matches mostly will be fixed between two different teams and they will agree to play in a particular place at a particular time. It will mostly be a bet match. The money never used to be huge but still enough to keep the teams competitive.
It was fun and we also played our share of bet matches. We did not win too many games but it was great fun. On a Sunday, getting up early in the morning, assembling outside a team member's house. Riding our bicycles to get to the ground to catch a good pitch to play our game used to be a thrilling experience at that age. We have had our share of losses but even though we played the game as hard as we can, we always had a hearty laugh about the game later when we met again in the evening.
I remember the first ever time my team had a tie and the first game we won. It's all part of a memory I will always cherish. The game has been so close to my heart and has remained a passion. When I was a kid I always wanted to be involved with the sport. I used to think, even if I don't make it as a player I would at least become a presenter or commentator or writer or even a statistician. Even though I could not achieve my goal and ended up as a software engineer, the game still lives close to my heart. The main reason I started blogging was due to my love for the sport.
Cricket is a game of extreme emotions and unlike other team sports it is played for a longer duration. In the other team sports you don't have enough time to go through various emotions during a game. Cricket is a game where you can be happy a minute and shattered immediately after that.
I have learnt a lot from the game. It has taught me the virtues of life like patience, competitiveness, team spirit etc. Even though I hardly get to watch any games these days and mostly follow the scores online, I still try to keep in touch with the game. I write about the game whenever I get time.I still have a dream of reporting cricket for living in the future but that might not happen.
The game has been really close to my heart for all these years and will continue to be so throughout my life. I am not sure how involved I can be with the game in the future but I will always cherish the memories the game has given me till date.

Greece: New report on squalid conditions for 46,000 refugees trapped in Greece
With international attention focussed on the implementation of the recently agreed EU-Turkey deal, the plight of more than 46,000 refugees and migrants stuck in squalid conditions across mainland Greece is in danger of being forgotten, Amnesty International warned in a report released today (18 April).
The report, Trapped in Greece: an avoidable refugee crisis, examines the situation of refugees and migrants – the majority women and children – stuck in the country following the complete closure of the Macedonian border on 7 March.
Conditions are inadequate in many of the 31 temporary accommodation sites, set up by the Greek authorities with significant EU assistance. They are severely overcrowded, with a complete lack of privacy, no heating, and not enough toilets.
Meanwhile, of the 66,400 asylum-seekers pledged to be relocated from Greece in September 2015, only 615 had been transferred to other EU member states, according to information published by the European Commission on Tuesday (12 April). The UK is not participating in the relocation scheme, the government having refused from the beginning to share any responsibility for refugees who have arrived in Europe. Last year, the UK received 38,878 asylum claims, including dependants, and resettled a further 1,864 refugees - 1,194 of whom were Syrian. Eight EU countries received significantly higher numbers of asylum claims, including Hungary, France and Sweden.
John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International's Director for Europe and Central Asia, said:
"The decision to close the Western Balkans route has left more than 46,000 refugees and migrants in appalling conditions and in a state of constant fear and uncertainty.
"EU countries have only exacerbated this crisis by failing to act decisively to help relocate tens of thousands of asylum-seekers, the majority of whom are women and children, trapped in Greece. If EU leaders do not act urgently to live up to their relocation promises and improve conditions for stranded refugees and migrants, they will face a humanitarian calamity of their own making."
A Syrian woman who was nine-months pregnant at a makeshift camp in Idomeni on the Macedonian border told Amnesty:
"The conditions here are not good and we are sleeping on the ground; our blankets are soaked with water. There are no bathrooms. This is why people are getting sick."
An Afghan asylum-seeker staying at the Elliniko temporary accommodation centre, at an unused airport outside Athens, said:
"It's a total mess – there is nothing here… Everybody is sleeping on the floor in the old terminal hall. We don't even have basic things. There is a toilet but it is so dirty. I don't sleep [in the camp], it's too smelly."
In another camp in Athens – an informal set up in Piraeus port – there are between 3,000 and 5,000 people staying with only a few basic services provided by volunteers, a few humanitarian organisations and the port authorities.
Many of the refugees and migrants interviewed during two Amnesty research trips, between 8 February and 13 March, were hoping to continue their journeys onwards to Western Europe to reunite with family members. The majority had little information about their options since the closure of the Macedonian border.
"Why don't they let us go? They want us to die here?" asked a 70-year-old couple from Aleppo, who were camping in Idomeni. "It's cold and we are [living] on top of each other."
In addition to lacking information on their rights in Greece, the particular needs of vulnerable refugees and migrants are not being met. Women in some of the accommodation centres told Amnesty researchers they felt unsafe and at risk of exploitation by men. Amnesty also talked to unaccompanied children detained in police stations for up to 15 days until they could be transferred to a shelter for children.
Amnesty is calling on Greece to make urgent improvements to the country's asylum system and to ensure access to effective protection for everyone trapped in the country. As a priority, it must set up a mechanism for the systematic provision of information and the identification of individuals with specific needs.
While EU member states should continue to support Greece so that it can adequately receive asylum-seekers, they must also urgently accept asylum-seekers to their countries from Greece. This must include swiftly relocating large numbers of asylum-seekers through the existing EU emergency relocation scheme, and ensuring effect is given to EU rules, into which the UK has opted, that provide for many of those with family in another EU country to be reunited with their relatives.

Lesglésia de Sant Sadurní de Montmajor és l'església principal del nucli de Montmajor, al Berguedà. Està catalogada com a patrimoni des del 1982. No està protegida i està en un bon estat de conservació. L'església va ser construïda el 1922 i substituïa l'antiga església de Sant Sadurní del Castell de Montmajor. Els germans Casimir i Esteve Sala Codinet en són les arquitectes que van optar per un estil  historicista i eclecticista.

Ubicació
L'església de Sant Sadurní de Montmajor està situada a la carretera de Montmajor al Pujol de Planès, a la part alta del nucli capital del municipi berguedà.

Descripció i estil
Sant Sadurní de Montmajor té una sola nau i capelles laterals. El seu presbiteri està situat a la banda septentrional i forma un absis poligonal amb les capelles. La façana està situada a migdia i té una porta d'arc apuntat i una rosassa amb quatre lòbuls. Té un campanar amb la forma d'una torre amb la planta quadrada adossada a la banda occidental i a l'est de l'església hi ha la rectoria. Una volta d'aresta cobreix la nau interior.

Dins l'església hi ha els retaules barrocs de Sant Esteve del Pujol de Planès (el major de Sant Esteve i el lateral del Roser), la imatge de la Dolorosa que estava al retaule major de l'antiga església del Sant Sadurní del Castell de Montmajor i una imatge de Sant Llop de la mateixa església.

És una església eclèctica que té uns mòduls neogòtics medievalistes.

Història
El 1907 el rector Climent Camp va sol·licitar al Bisbat de Solsona poder viure fora de la rectoria de Sant Sadurní del Castell de Montmajor perquè estava en molt mal estat de conservació i va demanar construir una nova rectoria. Això, juntament amb el fet que els veïns del nou nucli de Montmajor situat a la zona dels Plans volien disposar d'un temple més proper, va fer que es demanés de fer una església nova. El 1911 la nova rectoria ja estava construïda al peu de la costa i s'hi va començar a construir el nou temple seguint el projecte dels arquitectes Casimir i Esteve Sala i Codinet aprofitant les pedres de l'antiga església del castell. El 17 de setembre de 1922 el bisbe de Solsona Valentí Comellas va inaugurar la nova església. El campanar, que es va començar a construir posteriorment, es va culminar el 1950. També s'hi va traslladar el cementiri de la parròquia. Entre el 1911 i el 1922 es van celebrar misses en una sala de la rectoria que servia com a oratori. El pressupost de la nova església fou de 10.000 pessetes.

Latest Air Conditioner(AC) Technology [2022]
By: Arshi Tahir
The latest air conditioner technology can help users decide what product to purchase and which to miss out on. As each one has different needs and preferences, it is obvious that the manufacturers have come up with some of the best technologies to help us live better. These have been designed to 'customize' the machine according to the man's needs. Some of these technologies are also 'climate and region specific' that have been specifically featured to ensure the required services as per the prevailing conditions that cannot be avoided in the case of a climate or a place. So, what are some of the latest AC technology you can opt for when purchasing an Air conditioner? Here is our comprehensive list.
1. Inverter Compressor
2. Dual Inverter Compressor
3. Triple Inverter Compressors
4. The Use Of AI in Air conditioners
5. The Image Sensor Technology
6. The Penta Sensor Technology
7. The Rapid Cooling Technology
Latest Air Conditioner(AC) Technology: The Conclusion
Compressors are the most important parts of the Air conditioner. However, these are all the more important as the majority of the machine's work occurs due to this particular part. The main work of the conventional Compressor is to run at full power till the temperature in the room reaches the pre-set temperatures. After this is attained, it automatically switches off and allows the unit to function normally on its own.
However, once the temperature within the closed space rises again, the Compressor kicks off again. This can lead to a lot of power consumption every time the Compressor kicks ON or OFF. Meanwhile, certain brands have introduced the all-new Inverter Compressor. The main difference between the conventional Compressor and the Inverter compressor is that the latter can run at variable speeds. Hence, it only consumes power according to the speed with which it runs; hence this is one of the best considered latest air conditioner technology. However, the inverter does not switch off when the Air conditioner is not working, but it does work at variable speeds.
This is also known as the Dual Cool technology, as these Air conditioning units also feature advanced BDLC motors. This is one of the new technologies in air conditioners and comprises rotary systems. The main aspect of the dual inverter compressor is to be able to maintain the required temperatures without too many fluctuations. This helps in saving electricity bills and protecting the machine and is also a safe choice to protect the entire home and family from circuit mishaps. The dual-tone AC can work at the tonnage range of 40% and 110% capacity. This also depends upon the climatic conditions and the temperature requirements.
This is yet another of the latest air conditioning technology introduced by the tech-giant Samsung. While most might assume that this technology comprises three rotary motors, however, this technology comprises of 8-Pole inverter technology. This is quite different from the 4-Pole technology that is applied in the dual inverter. The best part about the Triple Inverter Compressors is that they help save up to 69% of more energy and cool 67% faster. One can expect a cooling effect even if the outside temperature is 54 degree Celsius. The other benefits include noise reduction and vibration effects. This is also one of the best in the latest split ac technology in India.
The introduction of Sensors in Air Conditioners has revolutionized the working of Air conditioners to a great extent. These help in providing smart and efficient cooling. The latest in the LG air conditioner comprises the revolutionary ADC sensor- Ambient, Condenser, and Discharge. These go a long way in ensuring safe operations.
Ambient sensor: this sensor is used to provide comfort to the user. The function of this sensor is to sense the outdoor temperature and decide the required temperature. It also controls the operation load to adjust the thermostat accordingly.
Discharge Sensor: This sensor is responsible for managing the cooling cycle and adjusting the discharge temperature accordingly.
The Condenser Sensor: This sensor monitors the discharge pressure to regulate the refrigerant flow. Thus, it is responsible for improving the Compressor's reliability.
This is a revolutionary technology introduced by the tech-brand Hitachi, also known as 'iSee.' This technology senses the number of people in the room, their activity, and their location, hence adjusting the temperature accordingly. The remarkable aspect of this technology is that it also estimates the room size and shape to regulate the 'swing angle' and optimize the cooling. Likewise, this technology also senses the absence of people in the room; hence, it shuts down or regulates the temperature accordingly. Hence, helps save big on electricity bills.
Likewise, the iSense technology offered by the same brand is specially designed to ensure temperature comfort at night. In case of the absence of active members in the room, the sensor instructs the unit to decrease the temperature by 1 degree Celsius every hour for two hours.
This is yet another great split ac new technology by Hitachi. This technology is governed by an advanced microcontroller and is designed to offer the best cooling solutions during hot summer days. This sensor is also known to optimize the cooling effect according to the load and hence protects the critical components of the Air conditioner. Along similar lines is the unique 'Follow me' feature that works in the 'remote.' In this case, the unit receives the instruction from the remote; hence, the temperature is adjusted accordingly. Finally, the Blue Stars Precise Cooling Technology is also worth mentioning, which adjusts the unit's internal temperatures with a precision of up to 0.1 degree Celsius.
This is yet another latest technology in split ac that works by cooling the room quickly at a fast speed. This technology is known as the 'Himalayan Cool Technology' in the LG AC units that offers rapid cooling solutions within 30 minutes. The best part is that the savings are not compromised in this case.

Texas longhorn sets Guinness world record for longest horns
< a min read
GOODWATER, Ala. (AP) — A Texas longhorn in Alabama has set a mark recognized by the Guinness World Records for longest horns, with a span wider than the Statue of Liberty's face.
News outlets cite Guinness World Records as announcing last week that Poncho Via's horns measured just over 10-feet-7-inches (3 meters) as of last month, beating all previous records. The 7-year-old steer belongs to a family in Goodwater, just southeast of Birmingham. Poncho's owner Jeral Pope says he brought Poncho into the family when the steer was 6 months old.
The organization says the Pope family first noticed the potential of Poncho's horns when he was about 4 years old and his horns were growing straight out instead of curving upward. Pope says Poncho is a gentle giant with a soft spot for apples, carrots and marshmallows.
