Interviewed by: Melissa Paluch
Mallika Ghatak, 43, is a college graduate, was born in Mumbai, India. She has a 12 year old son named Vihaan and a husband named Haroon. Mallika initially came to the United States with her Indian husband. When Mallika arrived in the United States with no work permit, she struggled emotionally with the fact that she was about to start her new life while being dependent on her husband. She felt that she partially lost her identity since it was the first time she was not financially independent. Once Mallika became a permanent resident and obtained a work permit, her life improved. She started working for a major American television channel where she made her first friends and colleagues. She felt more integrated into the U.S. society. Mallika's Indian culture is important to her. Her son speaks Hindi, and the family celebrates both Indian and traditional American holidays. Currently, Mallika works as a Senior Business Development Manager for a transportation company and lives in Northern Virginia with her family.
Mallika works as a Senior Business Development Manager for a transportation company. She shares an apartment with her family in Arlington.
Mallika came to the United States initially on vacation with a close friend, but she says, "Being on vacation is quite different than living here permanently...It's not all New York City and Miami Beach….You also come to the country with the mindset of fun, but not to live there." What spurred Mallika to come to the United States permanently was marrying her husband, Haroon Ghatak, in 1999 in Mumbai, India. A few months later, they came to the United States to live for good.
Haroon's Background in the United States
Haroon had already lived in the United States for many years before they got married. He attended a public university in Alabama and studied Computer Information Systems and Math. Later, Haroon attended a public research university in Georgia where he earned an MBA. After acquiring his academic degrees and beginning to work, Haroon wanted to settle down and find a wife so he returned to India.
Socio-Cultural Perceptions Regarding Arranged Marriage
While Mallika was enjoying her independence, her parents were thinking of an arranged marriage for her. Looking at their family tree, they found her a potential love match in Haroon, a first-generation Indian immigrant with whom she shared a common uncle. Her parents and his parents talked about the two of them being a good match. Mallika's parents were quite impressed by Haroon's academic credentials, though both Mallika and her parents sadly realized that marriage to Haroon would mean she would have to leave India for the United States. And this put Mallika and her family ill at ease as she had always lived with her family, even in college. According to Mallika, "Unlike the typical Indian arranged marriage where the bride meets her husband on their wedding day," Mallika and Haroon met each other with their families before the wedding.
Struggles upon Arrival
Mallika and Haroon were married in India in November of 1999. In December of the same year, Mallika traded in her travel visa for a dependent visa. However, life for Mallika in America was a bit of a culture shock and didn't meet her expectations. For starters, unlike what she saw on television and among her husband's Indian friends, life in America didn't lead to immediate material gain. As she described the situation, her husband's Indian friends were buying their wives fancy new cars and houses. Mallika and her husband, on the other hand, lived in Arlington, VA across from the metro.
Gender- specific Struggles Faced upon Arrival
Mallika became quite annoyed with having to depend on Haroon and not having her own identity. She was used to Mumbai where she had her own identity and everywhere she went, people knew her and her family. In the United States, Mallika knew no one but Haroon and his friends. They knew her as, "Have you met Mallika, Haroon's wife?" And what really irked Mallika was the fact that she could not work legally because of her dependent visa.* Mallika was so depressed about not being able to work and forge an identity for herself that she considered working for cash as a nanny, but she and Haroon agreed that even a few hundred dollars a day was not worth risking not receiving permanent residency.
Mallika had a hard time living in America and eventually left Haroon by saying that she missed her family. "I bought a one-way ticket back to India. I simply felt that I lost my identity." Mallika thought that Americans perceived her as this 'village Indian woman,' when in reality she grew up quite cosmopolitan. Haroon was very understanding and knew that Mallika was not used to living away from her family. He knew that she was having a terrible time adjusting to life in America. He talked to her parents, and he told them to not let anyone influence her nor convince her to come back to him.
How Permanent Residency Enhances Immigrants' Integration into U.S. Society
When Mallika came back to America, everything changed for the better. She received her permanent residency and got a job at a major American television channel. She finally started feeling like she could be herself. She made her first American friend, Brad. "We ate lunch together every day for six years," she said. She really felt that God sent Brad to her. She felt very self-conscious of talking at work because of her accent, but Brad put her at ease. He said that if someone makes fun of her accent, she should just "laugh it up and own it." She began to let her guard down and make new friends. She finally knew that she adjusted to America when Haroon attended one of her workplace parties and people said, "This is Haroon, Mallika's husband."
Once Mallika got her green card, she wanted to fit in with American culture, and she planned to achieve this through food. "When I thought of America, I thought of frozen dinners, fast food and Twinkies." When Mallika would go out with her American friends, Brad and Alicia, she would head straight to Popeye's or KFC, or McDonalds. Meanwhile, Brad and Alicia would laugh at her and opt for more healthy foods.
Creating a Network of New Friends and Colleagues
When Mallika arrived from India, she had several immigrant friends who were simply "social friends." She had no strong bond with them. All of these "friends" became successful materially. However for Mallika, "success means growing intellectually." When Mallika got pregnant with her son, her colleagues threw her a baby shower. They are her friends and are as close as family. And when Mallika learned that her father had passed away in India, her boss held her hand while Haroon's father delivered the bad news to her at work. Mallika said that she, "drifted in and out of Hindi during that conversation, while her boss held her hand."
Mallika's Relationship with Indian and American Culture
Mallika's Indian culture is important to her. Haroon's mom only speaks Hindi, which is how Mallika's son, Vihaan, learned Hindi. Mallika feels that it is more important for her son to learn Hindi than for her mother-in-law to learn English. Mallika, Haroon and Vihaan go to India every year for vacation. Mallika said that she would never move back to India to live permanently as India seems so different to her after her father passed away. To retain her Indian culture, Mallika celebrates both Indian and traditional American holidays. Diwali is known as the "festival of light," and Mallika celebrates this at home. Every member of Mallika's family has a candle holder that looks like a house. Mallika said, "Typically, only men are given this candle holder because they traditionally provide for the family." Mallika has changed this tradition by providing a candle holder for herself, as she contributes to the family too. She wants Vihaan to feel special because he is her son, and not because he is male. Mallika wants to teach her son that men and women are equal. While growing up in India, Mallika and her family actually had a Christmas tree and they hung ornaments on it of Hindu Gods and precious memories. The tree is what bonds her to her father even in death so Mallika will not allow anyone to touch the tree. She will only give the artifact to Vihaan upon her death.
Future Aspirations
Mallika would like to become a U.S. citizen because she considers her life to be here because of her son. Haroon, on the other hand, feels a deep bond to India and does not want to give up his Indian citizenship. He even thinks about going back some day, but Mallika does not want to go back as her life is here. She is glad that she came.
* Mallika was likely admitted to the U.S. through the H-4 visa category (spouse of an H-1B worker), H-4 visa holders were not eligible for work authorization at the time. In order to work, an employer would have had to petition for her separately.

Stocks to focus on: HDFC AMC, Vedanta, PTC India, IDBI Bank, Siemens
Here is the list of the top 10 stocks that will be in focus today:
HDFC Asset Management: HDFC Asset Management Company (AMC) said on Tuesday that one of the company's promoters, abrdn Investment Management, will sell its entire 10.2% stake in the mutual fund. As a result of the stake sale, investment firm and developer abrdn Investment Management will cease to be a co-sponsor of the HDFC Mutual Fund, the company said in a BSE filing. Of the total, the UK-based company aims to sell 2,11,18,578 shares, representing 9.9% to a single buyer. The rest will be sold separately, the asset management firm said.
vedanta: He further said that the government and central bank would also consider relaxing the five-year lock-up period for shares if a non-bank financial company merges with IDBI Bank. The oil-to-metals conglomerate will offer "nominal, unsecured, callable, non-cumulative and non-convertible notes" in one or more tranches, the company told stock exchanges.
PTC India: PTC India's board of directors has again been rocked by a series of resignations, with BSE chairman SS Mundra the latest to resign from the state-owned power trading company's board of directors, two people with knowledge of the news said. events. Former Finance Ministry Secretary Sushma Nath was the first to resign in the last week of November. Former chief income tax chief commissioner, Mumbai, Devendra Swaroop Saksena and Jayant Purushottam Gokhale, founder of Gokhale & Sathe, resigned from the board this month.
Bikaji Foods International: The ethnic snacks company has reported a 43.5% YoY growth in consolidated profit after taxes from $40.92 crores. The increase in profit is led by operating performance. Revenues for the quarter grew 32% to $Rs 577 crore compared to the prior year period as it has witnessed good double-digit growth across all categories year-on-year. The EBITDA margin increased from 10.4% to 11.1% in the same period.
IDBI Bank: According to a government clarification on Tuesday, the central government will allow a consortium of foreign funds and investment companies to own more than 51% in the state-owned IDBI Bank Ltd. Current Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rules restrict foreign ownership in new private banks. He further said that the government and central bank would also consider relaxing the five-year lock-up period for shares if a non-bank financial company merges with IDBI Bank.
siemens india: The engineering company Siemens has become the lowest bidder for a project for the manufacture of 1,200 electric locomotives of 9000 HP (horsepower) for a value of more than $20,000 crores at Dahod in Gujarat. Indian Railways submitted the tender for the manufacture and maintenance of 9,000 HP electric locomotives at Dahod in April this year. The cost of the project was estimated at about $20,000 crores.
HPCL: The Indian state-owned Hindustan Petroleum Corp. issued an immediate tender for the import of 40,000 tons of RON 91 non-oxygenated gasoline for delivery from December 11 to 25. The bidding closes on Tuesday, market sources were quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency. The refinery had previously sought between 40,000 and 55,000 tons of non-oxygenated gasoline to deliver between December 20 and 30 through another tender that closed on December 1.
vodafone idea: Vodafone Idea has started talks with American Tower Corp to extend the senior issue of optionally convertible debentures to the tower provider after Vodafone Idea's shareholder approval for the issue expired. The issuance was contingent on the government's conversion of interest from the deferral of adjusted gross revenues and spectrum fees from $Rs 16,000 crore owed by the company in equity shares, which has not occurred, the No. 2 carrier told exchanges on Tuesday.
tv dish: Direct-to-home operator Dish TV announced on Tuesday the appointment of three new independent directors to the company's board, the first major appointment after the departure of its promoter-backed former chairman, Jawahar Lal Goel. In addition, the company also announced the resignation of Rajeev Kumar Dalmia, its chief executive, from the board effective close of business hours on Tuesday, Dish TV said in a regulatory filing.
Hinduja: Hinduja Tech, part of the diversified business conglomerate Hinduja Group, has acquired Drive System Design for an "undisclosed sum" to expand its eMobility services from development to production, the company said on Tuesday. Drive System Design is an engineering consultancy known for developing innovative solutions for electrified drive systems.

Q: Opposite of O_CREAT|O_EXCL Is there way in C on Linux to only write to a file if it already exists? In other words, the opposite of open(..., O_CREAT|O_EXCL).
Note that I don't want the existence check decoupled from the actual opening of the file (like calling stat() beforehand) because that would be a race condition.

A: To do this I would try to open the file with O_WRONLY, if open() doesn't fail, the file exists. You can check errno to check the error.
I don't know any other way.

A: Check for ENOENT while trying to open the file without the O_CREAT flag.

ENOENT O_CREAT is not set and the named file does not exist; or O_CREAT is set and either the path prefix does not exist or the path argument points to an empty string.

A: If you can use fopen, then:
file=fopen(some_sime, "r+");
if (file) fd=fileno(file);

Last fall, Davis Brown debuted his Symphony No. 1 with the Salisbury Symphony in a concert at St. John's.
This month, Davis — who's been a composer for more than 40 years — will present a concert of original contemporary Christian music. The free event will take place in the Faith Center on Saturday, March 17, beginning at 3 pm.
Along with Davis, other featured performers include Bradley Chestnut on guitar and vocals, Ondria Witt on vocals, Kevin Agner on cello, and Sacha Witt on trombone.
Davis first performed at St. John's on solo piano. As a result, Rob Durocher, minister of music, asked him to give a piano concert. But since Davis was teaching out of town, he had no time to prepare. Since he lives in Salisbury full-time now, he's been a part of the praise band for the 9:27 service.
Rob's invitation was still open, so Davis decided to plan a concert.
Davis says that his songwriting comes from the perspective of telling a story. As he develops songs, he thinks about working through a crisis or another situation — and looking for spiritual guidance and strength to cope.

Submit a Dear Life
Fourth quarter offence lifts Hawks
Shelby BlackleyFebruary 25, 20144 mins read
(Photo by Kha Vo)
LONDON, Ont. — The Wilfrid Laurier women's basketball team was one quarter away from being eliminated from the playoffs.
In the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) West semifinal Saturday, the Hawks were down 37-29 against the Western Mustangs going into the fourth quarter and needed a big offensive presence to have a chance to make the OUA West final.
And the Hawks found just that. A 15-0 run at the beginning of the fourth and 24 total points in ten minutes lifted Laurier over the Mustangs and right into the OUA West final this coming Saturday.
"To make it sound simple, we started to hit shots," head coach Paul Falco said.
"We had trouble knocking down shots in the first three quarters and once the lid came off the basket, a few of them started to drop. Our offence grew and we were able to finish them off in the fourth quarter."
In addition to a surge of offence, the Hawks played solid defence throughout the entire game, holding OUA leading scorer Jenny Vaughan to merely five points the entire game when she typically averaged over 20 throughout the regular season.
Fourth-year Whitney Ellenor had a solid 13 rebounds in the game, with six of those coming off the offensive board, giving Laurier more chances for points.
The Hawks outrebounded the Mustangs 49-37.
And after the Mustangs eliminated Laurier in the OUA West quarterfinal last year, it was a big win heading into their biggest challenge yet.
"It feels good," Falco said.
"We had such a rivalry with Western the last couple of years, who were a pretty evenly matched team. To get them at their gym, on the road, was a big win for the girls and we're looking forward to heading down to Windsor and giving them another shot."
The Windsor Lancers, the No. 1 seed in the country, are heavy favourites with only one loss this year.
In their two meetings throughout the season, Windsor defeated Laurier 73-44 and 70-59.
But Falco believes the next few days will be crucial in finding a good game plan for Laurier to take on the powerhouse Lancers.
"We've got a couple days to figure things out in terms of trying some different things," he said.
"Last time we played them, we played much better than the first time here. And some of the things we tried, we'll try again."
For the Hawks, the big focuses will be good defence and good rebounding, which were evident factors in the OUA West semifinal against the Mustangs.
Then, it'll be finding ways to shut down Windsor's offence.
"We have to be a little bit better at taking care of the basketball and not turning it over, because a lot of their game comes from the transition game off turnovers. So that'll be an area we're looking to clean up for sure," Falco said.
A win in Saturday's OUA West final will send Laurier to the OUA final against the winner out of the East division, either the Queen's Gaels or the Carleton Ravens.
It'll also give the Hawks a berth in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) championships in Windsor.
If the Hawks lose, they'll play for the bronze medal in the OUA and the final berth into the CIS championships.
But Falco isn't thinking about the worst-case scenario right now.
"I think we have to take the approach we've had the last few weeks here — just look at the game that's ahead of us and not look past it," he said.
"We have a chance to qualify for the nationals this Saturday, so you always want to take advantage of that opportunity when it presents itself.
"So we're going to do what we can to knock off Windsor and look at the next game, whoever that might be, after that."

Our solar system is in the Milky Way galaxy and located in an outer spiral arm. This is where we call "home." The solar system is made up of some major and minor players, all of which interact with each other.
The solar system consists of our sun, which is a star, and all that its gravity affects. The planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
There are also dwarf planets such as Pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids of all shapes and sizes.
The solar system also includes an area that is past the outermost planet, Neptune, called the Kuiper Belt, which is home to a ring of icy bodies, including the dwarf planet Pluto.
Just outside of the Kuiper Belt is the Oort Cloud, which is a huge spherical shell that envelopes our solar system 1.6 light years away.
While we have never been able to directly see the Oort Cloud, it's believed to be made up of icy chunks of space debris that range from mountain size to larger. The Oort Cloud is the sun's gravitational influence boundary.
Our system is "elliptical" in shape, which means that it's shaped like an egg. The sun is the center of the solar system and all of the planets, moons, and other objects orbit around it due to the sun's gravitational pull.
Solar systems contain quite a few different types of objects. Our Sun is also a star and is at the center of our solar system surrounded by planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, gas, comets, and dust. To date, our Solar System contains:
8 planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune)
5 dwarf planets (Pluto, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris)
181 moons
566,000 asteroids
3,100 comets
History of the Name:
We refer to the "solar system" as it has been named after our sun, called "sol" which is Latin for "sun." The words "Solar System" relate to two things: Any celestial body that is "of the Sun," and a collection of objects that work together to form the entire whole.
Scientists believe that our solar system was formed around 4.5 billion years ago. We have observed how systems are created and they begin with a dense cloud of interstellar dust and gas that experiences a collapse.
may be due as a result of the shockwave of the explosion of another star, called a supernova. When the collapse occurs it creates a "solar nebula," which is a mass of swirling, spinning material.
As it spins, gravity occurs and pulls more and more material in until the pressure in the center becomes so great that hydrogen atoms combine with helium to release a huge amount of energy.
That energy results in the birth of a star such as our own sun, and in our case, our sun amassed over 99% of the available matter.
Further out of the disk mass, other items were also starting to merge together and they began to smash into each other creating bigger and bigger objects.
Some of these grew large enough so that their gravity assisted in shaping them into spheres, and these became planets, large moons, and dwarf planets.
If their own gravity wasn't strong enough some of the clumps didn't create planets but remained oddly shaped and remained in bits and pieces that were affected by the sun's gravity.
Many of these ended up in the asteroid belt while other smaller pieces that were left over turned into comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and small misshapen moons.
Scientists believe that the early solar system looked completely different than the one that we see today. It's thought that the planets that we have now were probably in totally different locations, with the gas giants formed and orbiting closer to the sun.
There is also a good possibility that we had many more objects rotating and some may have been kicked out of the solar system while others simply crashed into existing objects to be engulfed by them.
The arrangement of the planets and bodies in our solar system today is due to billions of years of changes. It's believed that 4.5 billion years ago all of the planets settled into the current configuration.
When our solar system first formed, the intense heat of the sun could only allow the survival of rocky materials. This is why those planets closest to the sun are the smaller terrestrial planets with rocky, solid surfaces: Mercury, Venice, Earth, and Mars.
Gravity does have an influence on ice, liquid or gas, that was in the outer regions and the sun's gravity held the gas giants of Jupiter and Saturn, and the ice giants of Uranus and Neptune.
Moons:
We are sending more missions and probes out in space and with each one we learn more about our solar system. We have discovered that there are over 150 known moons in our solar system and it's believed that there are more that are waiting for confirmation.
Only two planets don't have any moons: Mercury and Venus. It seems that of all of the planets, the big giants have grabbed the most. Jupiter and Saturn have the most moons, so many that they have been compared to miniature versions of our own solar system.
Even the dwarf planet of Pluto way out in the Kuiper Belt has five moons of its own. Its moon Charon is responsible for giving Pluto its wobble.
As we continue to develop more powerful telescopes and send additional spacecraft missions out, we are finding that even some of the small asteroids have moons. A group of scientists in 2017 found that Florence, also known as "asteroid 3122," had two little moons.
So far, our solar system is the only location that we know of that harbors life, and our planet Earth has an abundance of life in all shapes and sizes. However, as we explore some of the planets we are discovering that some of the moons may have liquid water, which is one of the requirements of life.
Jupiter's moon, Europa, and Saturn's moon, Enceladus have global saltwater oceans that exist under icy, thick shells.
Previous definitions of what we considered to be "habitable" environments have changed over the years. We maintain that to allow the growth and adaptation of life there needs to be liquid water, an energy source, and a source of food.
However, scientists have discovered life on Earth in areas that were previously thought to be uninhabitable. These life forms are called "extremophiles" and have altered opinions about how life might thrive on other worlds.
Space Visits:
As humans, we have been viewing, watching, and studying our solar system over the millennia. However, it wasn't until the last number of centuries that our technology and science has been evolved enough to figure how things actually worked.
As we have expanded into the era of robotic spacecraft, we are learning so much more about our solar system and farther out into the universe.
Important Events:
2003: Spitzer Space Telescope: Spitzer contains an ultra-sensitive infrared telescope that is used to study everything from asteroids and comets, including near-earth-objects (NEOs), planets, and even galaxies that are far far away.
2009 Kepler Telescope: The sophisticated telescope discovered over 2,600 planets outside of our solar system.
2009 Herschel Space Observatory: An incredible number of discoveries that added to our knowledge of planetary science and astronomy.
1992 Geotail Satellite: Monitoring the area of Earth's magnetosphere known as the "long tail region"
2015 DSCOVR: The Deep Space Climate Observatory monitors alterations in the solar win and sends space weather alerts to planetary scientists for following and forecasting any geomagnetic storms that could affect the Earth and our technologies.
1965 Surveyor Model SD-1: Designed as a rehearsal mission to gather information about the surface of the moon that would be required for the future Apollo moon landings.
1966 Surveyor Model 2: Designed to test the launch simulated Surveyor lunar lander spacecraft into a barycentric orbit toward the moon in preparation for future space missions.
1968 Pioneer 09: Fourth probe in a series that were to continue studying interplanetary space from a heliocentric orbit in preparation for continued space missions.
1967 Pioneer 08: Third probe in a series sent to study interplanetary space in a heliocentric orbit with a main mission to collect data on plasma, magnetic fields, and cosmic rays for preparation of additional space missions.
Facts about The Solar System for Kids:
The answer to "what is a moon" is a bit fuzzy: The International Astronomical Union is the organization that helps to define what a planet is and what isn't. However, when it comes to the topic of moons, there isn't an easy definition. Moons are thought to be bodies that orbit planets, but that explanation doesn't cover conditions where bodies are orbiting double planets or asteroids.
Asteroids and Comets are leftover pieces of our solar system: These smaller bodies never made it to become part of planets or moons, but scientists believe that these "leftovers" may have brought liquid water and organics to our Earth.
All of our planets are on the same "plane" and orbit in the same direction: When you see an image of all eight of the planets in our solar system you will notice that they have a tendency to follow the same "path" in the sky, also called the "ecliptic." They also orbit our sun in the same direction. This is one of the reasons that scientists believe that the planets, the moons, and the sun were all formed from a spinning condensed gas and dust cloud.
Our solar system is WAY out there: When you think of the Milky Way galaxy you usually see a spinning galaxy with billions of stars. Our sun may be one of those stars but we are way out in an outer "arm" of the galaxy. NASA has indicated that we are around 165 quadrillion miles from the center, which just so happens to be home to a supermassive black hole.
Our solar system is really big: When Voyager 1 was launched in 1977, it took 35 years for Voyager 1 to pass through the area where the sun's gas and magnetic environment has any effect. This was 11 billion mi/17 billion km away from our Earth. This means that our solar system is really large.
We have a huge sun: Our sun collected 99.86% of our solar system's mass. This shows you just how big our sun is. The sun is made up of hydrogen and helium and that demonstrates how much of these gasses are in the universe as compared to the metals and rocks as we have on Earth.
Our solar system is a good example to understand exoplanets: Exoplanets are very far away and look tiny even using the most powerful telescopes. Examining planets in our solar system such as Jupiter, that have miniature solar systems, so we can watch how super-Earths outside of our solar system possibly work.
Beyond the solar system:
Our Milky Way galaxy is a spiral shape that is around 100,000 light-years across. Our sun is only one of about 100 billion stars within the Milky Way.
stars are in a pinwheel-shaped pattern and the Milky Way has four major "arms" that span out. Our solar system is in one of these arms.
The Milky Way galaxy is only one of billions and billions of galaxies in the universe. The size of the universe is unknown, however, scientists believe that it is still continuing to expand outward.

Thus far, our Moon is the only location outside of our planet that human beings have personally visited and set foot.
The asteroid belt is in the far region of the solar system between Mars and Jupiter. This is where a majority of the asteroids in our solar system are found.
An eclipse happens when one celestial body, such as the moon or a planet, moves into the shadow of another celestial body. On Earth, we have two types of eclipses: the eclipse of the moon called a lunar eclipse and the eclipse of the sun called a solar eclipse.
Our sun is incredibly active. It's made up of the gases hydrogen and helium and the process that it uses to create energy is called nuclear fusion.
A meteor has a name change once it enters the atmosphere of Earth. It's then known as a "meteoroid" or a "space rock." When it flies through the atmosphere it meets the resistance and begins to heat up.
Humanity has been observing meteors for thousands of years.
Asteroids are objects made up of mostly metals and rocks.
All through history, many civilizations observed comets and were both in awe and frightened by them. They didn't know what they were and some thought that they were stars with "long hair" that would appear, possibly bringing bad news.
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body, such as the moon or a planet, moves into the shadow of another celestial body.

"Xanadu"
Olivia Newton John &
Episode(s)
"Eggtown"
"Xanadu," by Olivia Newton-John & Electric Light Orchestra (from the musical Xanadu), is a song featured in "Eggtown" in which it was heard on the TV when Hurley played the film on the VCR in his and Sawyer's house.
A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
Open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me
Xanadu, Xanadu,
(now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you, Xanadu
The echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
That came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Xanadu...
Xanadu is another name for Shàngdū, which was the summer capital of Khublai Khan of the Yuan Dyansty in ancient China. It was located in what is now Mongolia. Shàngdū means "Upper Capital."
Marco Polo described Xanadu as having a palace and "Round this Palace a wall is built, inclosing a compass of 16 miles."
Xanadu is the location of the "stately pleasure-dome" referenced in Samuel Coleridge's 1816 poem, Kubla Khan. The poem touches on multiple themes and images that crop up in Lost, including a "sacred river" running through caverns, a "savage place" that is "holy and enchanted," "ancestral voices prophesying war," and a "sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice." The poem closes with a warning to beware a figure, presumably Kubla Khan:
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

Q & A with Mark Waters, By Chris Nelson
Many people will be familiar with you from Uncommon Ideals. What happened next?
The release of Uncommon Ideals was the first time my work had received recognition in the action sport world and things begun to flow. My girlfriend (Sunnie) and I were living in an apartment in the city, work was dry and inspiration was beginning to fade. I was emailing cover letters to just about every production company in England only to receive replies saying stuff like, Thanks for your interest, we will keep your records on file". I am lead to believe this is a polite way of saying f*@k off, due to the lack of jobs I received. Sunnie's positive spirit and my job pulling pints were the two things keeping me sane. At this point I needed a bit of a break and Uncommon Ideals was that. Within weeks of the release emails slowly found their way to my inbox and I found myself shooting in some pretty amazing locations. This raised both my spirit and the digits in my bank, which allowed me to fund the creation of The Salt Trail.
What was it that lead you plunge headlong into the financing and production of an independent full length feature?
During the early phases there was little to no thought put into it whatsoever. Sunnie quit her job and we gave up our rental house and most of our possessions and set off on a six month adventure with no plans or expectations. The film was never the priority of the trip; we just went travelling and the cameras came with. Taking on the backing from brands would have tied me to a contract to achieve something specific. I never wanted that, we just set off on an adventure and shot it. As the frames started to build the story began to take shape. It felt right to fund the project independently because the story was naturally bending in a direction that partly promotes the idea of not being driven by money, so it would have been a bit of a contradiction to have all these brands and plenty of money to back the project.
One of the things that travelling opened my mind to many years ago, is to not be driven by monetary success and western expectations, but to rather be motivated by passion and what feels right. This education grounded me to a life of living in the moment with no regrets or worries. I guess TST became a bit of an experiment to see if this lifestyle of living in the moment, going with the flow and doing what just feels right, would be enough to make a full-length feature. It was only three months into the trip that Sunnie and I sat down, reviewed the footage and got exited about the possibility of this story actually materialising. The next 12 months was dedicated to bringing this film to life. Commercial work was coming in to keep the funds flowing which gave me the freedom to focus on TST.
The aim of the experiment was that if the film works then the theory of living in the moment has been proved right, because the film was created by completely surrendering to the moment whilst doing what felt right. The Salt Trail is now complete, funded by pockets full of soul. It's a projection of how I see the world, can be shared with my family and friends and is a memory that will be kept alive for life. I guess success comes in many forms and this is good enough for me. Anything that comes after is a bonus.
Where did the title The Salt Trail come from? Did you have a narrative or story in mind when you started filming?
The name was always something I hoped would happen spontaneously as the film grew. I went through so many different ideas but nothing really stuck until the week before the trailer went live. Myself, Sophie and Kristyan were at Deus eating tacos and bouncing ideas. Nothing was really standing out until Sunnie threw it out there, which earned her a huge high five. As for the narrative and story, the only thing I had in my head was that I wanted to create a visual refection of the life rewarded from travelling. There was no pre-direction. A six month return flight was booked to Asia and everything else fell into place, by letting the natural flow of life direct the story.

The Salt Trail // Mini teaser Ep1
I always dreamt of hitting the Mentawais, but the crowds, resorts and boat trips put me off. However after a bit of research we found the complete opposite. A beautiful little village lost amongst the coconut trees with the friendliest, happiest people we had ever come across. We went for 10 days and stayed for a month, living off coconuts and noodles. After the first 10 days the boys left, so I stopped shooting surf and we absorbed the rest of the island. Mark Waters
The film has an amazing diversity of footage – from aerial work, water shots, time-lapse to moments of that are quite intimate. What aspects of the process was the most challenging technically and personally?
I guess the biggest challenge was deciding what to shoot and when. I only really shot mornings and late afternoons to keep the golden light flowing, which gave me around 4 hours a day. Within these hours the waves were always going off, the landscapes were amazing and the lifestyle was buzzing, so I was usually pretty torn. Unfortunately, I could not be in five places at once because of my like of super hero powers, so decisions were pretty challenging. Besides that, it was all pretty cruisy. I only shot when I felt like it, so nothing was forced. I would usually just pack the gear and go for a walk and see what happened.
I was lucky enough to have Vít Hašek and Daniel Pék come on board and provide me with the aerial footage. They were super generous and sponsored me with the aerials free of charge after hearing the ethics behind the project. Sunnie took land cam position from time to time, when the waves were on and I was desperate to shoot water. The most challenging thing for me was the producer role. It was tough trying to sort all the admin and legal bits and pieces, while trying to keep creative in the edit. This slowed things down quite a lot. I don't think I would attempt to fill all these positions again in a feature length production because it's just to much work. I love the creative side but I could have done without the admin responsibility.
There have been some iconic surf movies made that revolve around Indonesia – was this in the back of your mind when you were making The Salt Trail
It was kind of in the back of my mind but necessarily in a positive way. There has been so many films shot in Indo, so another Indo film might not be deemed exiting to some. With this in mind my idea was to shoot Indo in a different light by not constantly focusing on perfect waves, but focus more on the feeling.
This is a visual story about splashing some colour into your lives, by opening your eyes, breaking away from the mould and following your dreams. As wave sliders, we are inspired by waves to travel the globe in search of perfect waves but the deeper you look and the further you go, you realise that its not about finding that perfect slide…its about the people you meet and what you find along the way and how these experiences change you deep within.
The film shows a great contrast between the hustle and bustle of Bali and the isolation of the Mentawais. Which part did you enjoy the most and how did it feel stepping back to the UK to finish the project?
The Mentawais have become a special place for both myself and Sunnie. I always dreamt of hitting the Mentawais, but the crowds, resorts and boat trips put me off. However after a bit of research we found the complete opposite. A beautiful little village lost amongst the coconut trees with the friendliest, happiest people we had ever come across. We went for 10 days and stayed for a month, living off coconuts and noodles. After the first 10 days the boys left, so I stopped shooting surf and we absorbed the rest of the island. As always, Sunnie had made some awesome bonds with all the kids, which led to an introduction to the small local village where we were welcomed with massive smiles. We immersed ourselves as much as we could and felt like we found our little place in the community, where we were rewarded with priceless gifts every day until the day we had to leave.
As for coming back to the UK, it's always a bit of a culture shock travelling from east to west. Got to take the good with the bad. I can't help but notice all the rushing around and all the stress that people are taking on everyday to meet expectations from others. Unsatisfied people, disguised with designer labels pacing the streets trying always to get somewhere, missing out on the life buzzing around them. Those moments remind me of the contrasting connections we made with those who have nothing, wear no disguise and hold no stress. They just smile and this thought stokes me out. I am yet to properly immerse myself in the rugged British coastlines but winter is creeping in and I'm feeling the time is near.

The Indian Story
Dave Cilliers
The relatively small American City of Springfield, Massachusetts, was founded in 1636 and has been home to some iconic American brands. Springfield Armory produced the first American musket in 1794 and later, the legendary Springfield rifle. The Pentagon closed the armory in 1968 during the Vietnam war. Other notable companies attracted to Springfield were Rolls Royce, who built their luxury cars for the American market from 1919 until closure in 1931. The Wall St crash and subsequent Great Depression, effectively destroyed the market for Rolls Royce. With the influx of skilled labour attracted to Springfield by numerous precision manufacturers, it is not surprising that the first American motorcycle was built in the City in a forest. In 1901, George M. Hendee and C. Oscar Hedstrom, founded the Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company. For interest sake, it is worth noting that the Smith and Wesson firearm manufacturers, established in 1852, still call Springfield home.
To be historically accurate, Hendee Manufacturing Company changed its name to Indian in 1928. By this time, 'Indian' was a household name for motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. In 1910, Hendee Manufacturing built more motorcycles than any other manufacturers in the world. 1911 saw Indian take 1st, 2nd and 3rd places at the Isle of Man.
Between 1920 and 1946, the Scout became established as Indians most popular model. Sporting a 42º V-twin engine, designed by a fellow named Charles Franklin, the Scout built a reputation for strength and reliability. Engine capacity grew from 610cc to 740cc. The Scout 101 was known for its excellent handling.
The other iconic Indian model was the Chief. Also a V-twin, the Chief had a bigger capacity engine at 1000cc, growing to an eventual 1300cc. The Chief sported the swooping, skirted fenders that were to become an Indian trademark. From 1930, Indian motorcycles sported the famous Chiefs head logo, either on the tank or as a die-cast fender emblem. The Springfield plant became affectionately known as the 'Wigwam'.
Indian sowed the seeds of their eventual demise by selling virtually their total production to the U.S. Government at the end of WW1 in 1917/18. This caused numerous Indian Dealers to fold, with negative long-term consequences. Many of these Dealers turned to Harley-Davidson, Indians arch-rival. Despite a merger with Du Pont Motors, a division of the Du Pont chemical empire in 1930, the strategic blunders resulted in the eventual bankruptcy in 1953.
Various entities flirted with the Indian brand by re-badging Royal Enfields and Matchless motorcycles as Indians in the USA. Floyd Clymer, of Clymer Technical manual fame, tried to resurrect the American Icon from 1963 to 1977. His death in 1970 resulted in his widow selling the rights to the Indian name to a Los Angeles lawyer, called Alan Newman.
The Indian story lay fallow until 2011. Enter Polaris Industries. Emerging from the 1960's as snowmobile and ATV manufacturers, Polaris bought the rights to the Indian name and started building new, modern Indian motorcycles in tandem with their own Victory brand. Victory, in a short period of time built a solid reputation for engineering excellence, with a range of superb V-twin power cruises. In the beginning of 2017, Polaris announced that they would halt production on Victory in order to focus all their attention and resources on the legendary Indian brand.
The loss of the Victory has undoubtedly been Indians gain. What has emerged is a growing range of V-twins that are truly worthy of the Indian name and heritage. The 'Scout Sixty' sports a 1000cc V-twin motor with really sweet styling and good performance. The straight 'Scout' has similar styling to the Sixty but with upgraded suspension, styling accents and a 1200cc potent motor.
'Indian Chief Dark Horse' is predictably painted various shades of black and sports the classic Chief skirted fenders and Indian head tank decal and fender emblem. The 111 cubic inch Thunder stroke V-twin pumps out a massive 161.6 Nm of torque at only 3000 rpm. A classic power cruiser of note, dripping with heritage and nostalgia, yet totally modern – Awsome!
The Indian Chief Vintage is a classic 'bagger'. Touring windshield, leather seat and saddle bags and powered by the 111cu in Thunder Stroke mill. Two-tone paint completes what is a timeless Indian picture.
In this crazy world of constant change, I find myself hankering more and more for something classic and timeless. Something that is functionally modern yet harks back to a time when sanity prevailed; something that looks like it was built by a craftsman, not a computer; something that stirs the soul and the blood. The new Indians are all of these things and more – Truly classic Americana.
All of these and other new Indians are available in South Africa – the Chief Classic, Springfield, Chieftain, Roadmaster and more. Visit: www.indianmotorcycle.co.za to see the full range.

The title, Hanami Aoyama 花見青山, refers to the tradition of hanami - literally "flower viewing", where people gather and celebrate under cherry trees during blossom season, engaging in festive meals and bouts of drinking. Sakura (cherry blossoms), due to their relatively short lifespan, are seen to symbolize the fleeting nature of life, and often planted in cemeteries. This book is set in Aoyama Cemetery, which was a popular destination for such parties. But as the drinking and festivities overwhelmed the peacefulness of the cemetery, parties were outlawed in 2009.

Local Pastor Speaks Out After Fight Happens In Her Church
Posted: Jul 22, 2017 / 03:59 AM CDT / Updated: Jul 22, 2017 / 03:59 AM CDT
Thursday night police vehicles could be seen outside of Second Congregational Church during their once a month dance they help host for developmentally disabled adults.
"It was a domestic violence incident, which can happen anywhere but unfortunately it was here in our church," said Second Congregational Church Pastor Rebecca White Newgren.
Police were called to the area a little before seven after they say a fight broke out. Soon they arrested 33 year old Robert Wheelock who they say attacked two people he had a previous domestic relationship with.
A staff member of one the social group agencies attending the event also was hurt while trying to break up the fight. One of those hurt is in critical condition but is expected to recover.
"This was not just a random act of violence, someone didn't just walk in the doors," Newgren said. "These two people were guests of ours for the night and this unfortunate altercation happened," she added. Newgren says Wheelock is developmentally disabled and is saddened the fight happened on church grounds, but says it was an isolated incident.
"This still is a really safe place to be," Newgren said. (It's) A place that we love and treasure and so we are grateful to have this space and grateful for the public to be able to come and use it at all times in lots different ways," she added.
Newgren says the unfortunate occurrence should make Rockford residents more aware of the impact of domestic violence."Whether it's here on the west side or somewhere way far east domestic violence is a problem in our city, so I think it's something we should really look in to," she said.
Wheelock is charged with two counts of aggravated battery, domestic battery, and aggravated domestic battery. He's currently in the Winnebago County Jail.

Written by: Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali
Directed by: Luis Bunuel
MPAA Rating: NR
Language: French with English subtitles
L'Age d'Or (1930)
Scorpions and Bishops
Director Luis Bunuel scored a smashing success with his first film, thefourteen-minute Un Chien Andalou (1928), but pushed a little toofar with his follow-up feature L'Age d'Or (1930). Within weeks ofits opening, the church began making noises about banning it.
While Un Chien Andalou (1928) deliberately avoided making any kind of sense, L'Age d'Or very nearly develops specific themes, but each individual viewer will no doubt come away with different ideas.
The film begins with a documentary-like look at scorpions, paying special attention to the five sections of its tail, topped by a sixth section -- a sac full of poison. Scholars could easily delineate the film itself into six sections, and equate the final section -- a kind of recreation of Sade's "Ten Thousand Days of Sodom," with a Christ-like figure wearily emerging from an orgy -- as the final sting.
It's more likely, however, that Bunuel simply strung a bunch of shocking images together, which would explain why the main character kicks a blind man in the stomach, or why a woman finds a cow in her bed. Many of the images attack religion specifically: a series of Bishops turn into skeletons and the hero tosses more Bishops out a window. The scene of a woman sucking the toe of a statue was also probably designed to provoke.
Though artist Salvador Dali and Bunuel collaborated on Un Chien Andalou, and Dali is credited again here as a co-writer, Bunuel claimed in his autobiography that Dali only wrote one scene, or image, for L'Age d'Or, a man with a rock on his head walking near a statue that also has a rock on its head.
I first saw L'Age d'Or years ago on a terrible VHS tape, and it nearly put me to sleep. Now after a brief theatrical run, Kino has given us a clean, restored transfer on their essential new DVD. Certainly this film will baffle, astound and infuriate all at once.
Though I can't recommend this classic highly enough, I have a few small quibbles with Kino's DVD. The film itself is above reproach, but a commentary track by Robert Short (author of The Age of Gold: Surrealist Cinema) is very nearly the most monotone and uninteresting I have ever heard. Additionally, it would have made sense to include Un Chien Andalou -- which has never been released on DVD -- as an extra, not to mention a third Bunuel film from the same period, the short "documentary" Land Without Bread (1932).

Tories now admit they sent Saskatchewan robocall
Glen McGregor and Stephen Maher, Ottawa Citizen 02.05.2013
Matt Meier is the owner of Edmonton-based RackNine Inc., the company whose equipment was used to launch more than 7,000 misleading calls directing voters in Guelph to the wrong polling station in the 2011 federal election.
OTTAWA — A forensic voice-analysis expert has matched a voice recording from a mysterious company that sent out a robocall "push poll" about Saskatchewan riding boundaries to the firm used to send out the infamous "Pierre Poutine" calls in the last election.
After initially denying any involvement, the Conservatives said Tuesday that they had failed to identify themselves as the source of the voice-broadcast to Saskatchewan residents last week.
The party blamed an "internal miscommunication" for the failure to identify itself and the origin of the call.
Liberal MP Ralph Goodale filed a complaint with the CRTC Tuesday morning, alleging the failure to name the source broke telemarketing rules — the same offence for which Liberal MP Frank Valeriote's riding association was fined last year.
The pre-recorded message sent to some Saskatchewan residents last Thursday told recipients that proposed changes to the province's riding boundaries would pit urban areas against rural ones, and offend "Saskatchewan values."
The robocall was presented as an interactive public-opinion survey — an American tactic called "push polling" — but appeared designed to rally opposition to changes to the ridings that would help opposition parties at the expense of Conservatives.
The originating number of the call, shown on recipients' call displays, was answered by a generic voice recording saying no one was available to answer.
But on Monday, a recorded male voice on the outgoing message identified the line as belonging to "Chase Research," a company that does not seem to exist in Saskatchewan.
The voice sounded similar to the voice of Matt Meier, owner of Edmonton-based RackNine Inc., the company whose equipment was used to launch more than 7,000 misleading calls directing voters in Guelph to the wrong polling station in the 2011 federal election.
The same voice and company name, Chase Research, was also heard on another number affiliated with a "push poll" sent out to Alberta residents during last year's provincial election. That call offered a highly prejudicial poll asking voters which kinds of tax increases proposed by Progressive Conservative Premier Alison Redford they favoured.
The Wildrose Party was suspected by some of involvement in the call but its origin was never confirmed. Meier's company has worked for Wildrose as well as the federal Conservatives.
After the Citizen made inquiries of Meier, the outgoing messages on the two numbers were replaced by out-of-service messages.
The Citizen and Postmedia News then asked U.S.-based forensic audio expert Ed Primeau to analyze the recordings of the outgoing Chase Research phone message and compare them with the outgoing voice message on Meier's own phone.
Primeau, who has testified as an expert witness in dozens of cases in American courts and overseas, is a board member of the American Board of Recorded Evidence and a member of the American College for Forensic Examiners International.
He said he is 95-per-cent certain that Meier recorded the outgoing messages used by the mysterious Chase Research.
"He has a distinct style of speaking," he said. "Everybody has a distinct style. It's like a fingerprint."
The cadence of one phrase used in the messages — "and reason for call" — is identical, he said.
A frequency analysis confirms the match, he said. "They're almost identical in the spectrum," he said. "I'm looking at these and it's insane how close they are."
In an email Saturday, Meier had offered a cryptic response when asked if his voice-broadcasting companies, RackNine and 2call.ca, were involved in the Saskatchewan call.
"Thanks for thinking of me, but your fascination is unwarranted."
On Tuesday, after the voice analysis, Meier failed to respond to repeated calls and emails to himself, his company and his lawyer, R. Justin Matthews, seeking comment.
Matthews told Postmedia he "has not been retained to respond to your inquiries."
Saskatchewan Conservative MP Tom Lukiwski told the Regina Leader Post last week that Saskatchewan Tory MPs were not responsible for the calls.
"Certainly polling is not something I'm doing and I'm pretty sure I'd know if any of my colleagues was doing something like that and I haven't heard a thing. That's just something I wouldn't have done anyway."
Conservative party spokesman Fred DeLorey also originally denied the party was involved, writing in an email Friday, "We are not polling."
On Tuesday, however, after the Citizen and Postmedia received the forensic analysis, and sent emails to the party and Meier, DeLorey sent a release to the parliamentary press gallery saying that the party did make the calls.
"There was an internal miscommunication on the matter, and the calls should have been identified as coming from the Conservative Party," said DeLorey.
Throughout the ongoing robocalls investigation, which stems from the May, 2011 federal election, Meier has maintained that he never knew his robcalling service was being misused by a person known to him as "Pierre Jones." He has co-operated with Elections Canada investigators by providing electronic records to help find the person.
Meier recently settled a defamation claim he had launched against New Democrat MP Pat Martin for comment Martin made about RackNine in the days after the robocalls scandal broke.
Reached Monday, Martin said under the terms of the settlement he can't discuss any payment, but a source says he is trying to raise $100,000 to help with it. He said he has already received a $10,000 donation from his former carpenters' union. All the donations will be reported to the ethics commissioner and those over $500 will be publicly disclosed.
An independent commission has proposed boundary changes that would create five entirely urban ridings in Regina and Saskatoon, instead of the mixed rural-urban seats now in place. Conservatives are opposed to the changes, saying they would divide the province and create unfeasibly large rural ridings.
Goodale, the only opposition MP from Saskatchewan, said the prejudicial tone of the push poll was part of what seems to be "abusive anti-democratic behaviour" by the Conservative Party.
"Their political objectives trump every ethical rule and every regulation of the CRTC and decent behaviour," he said.
