It was about that time for our Grandma-Grandaughter dinner date. We wanted something fuss free, relaxed, and somewhere that just does good food. I'd always walked past Busaba Eathai, and it was somewhere I'd always been meaning to try. I'd heard good things, and when someone on Twitter suggested I pay it visit, it just spurred me on even more. Good thing Grandma loves a bit of Thai.
It had a pretty good spread of a menu. I wouldn't have been able to narrow it down if I wasn't cutting carbs, which narrowed it down a lot.
We got our health on and we both ordered juices. I got the Koh Samui coconut, carrot and orange.
Grandma went all out with the Nam polamai carrot, apple, celery, dandelion and nettle extract.
We were ready to chow down.
It was the exact place we were looking for. It has a really chilled vibe, with big tables that everyone just shares.
The decor was simple with some typical Thai touches.
Armed with some hot chilli sauce, we were ready to go.
Out came the spread that we ordered. The majority of the dishes that we ordered were actually sides, since most of the mains contained some form of carbs (noodles or rice mostly).
I ordered the fish cakes, which we were really excited about until we were told they had prawn in them, so Grandma couldn't have any as she's allergic. I guess I'll just have to take one for the team!
The Thai Calamari with ginger and peppercorn was my favourite. It's a must-order.
I tried to sneak as much veg in as I could, so ordered the Chinese broccoli with garlic and shiitake mushroom.
We also got the Phad Phak, which wis French bean, broccoli, courgette, baby corn, cashew and pine nut.
Grandma got the Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce to make up for the fact that she couldn't have any fish cakes.
The only main we ordered was a stir-fry. We went for the Peppercorn Scallops, which came with asparagus, sugar snap peas and lime leaf.
However, my go-to Thai dish will always be Pandan Chicken, which is with garlic and coriander root wrapped in a pandan leaf.
For those who have (for some stupid reason) never had it, you unwrap the pandan leaf off the chicken before you eat it.
Say hello to a juicy piece of perfection.
I was absolutely stuffed, but Grandma has such a sweet-tooth and will always order a scoop of vanilla ice cream to finish off her meal. I'd been so good with my detox so far, but Grandma always manages to peer pressure me into having a little bit. At least we didn't do cocktails this time!
Sadly, Grandma has now been told by the doctor that she's no longer allowed to have cheese or ice cream. Two of her favourite things. I don't know how she's going to survive! Maybe I'll buy her a bottle of Jack Daniel's instead.

These two MADs (mandibular advancement devices) made by VitalSleep and PureSleep both work very well.
My wife and I slept comfortably with both devices. The convenience factor of the VitalSleep ultimately made it our preference over PureSleep.
You have to be careful during the fitting process with PureSleep. Review all the instructions before you try either product.
Reading my reviews on each will help you make the best decision.
PureSleep comes in two parts: one piece fitted to the upper jaw and the other to the lower. Once you find the most comfortable fit, you use the boil and bite method to customize it. This means, however, that you must take extra care during the fitting process, as you cannot adjust it after you do the boil and bite.
This device has a number of small crevices, so you must be diligent when cleaning.
Ordering and shipping took significantly longer than it did for most anti-snoring devices I have ordered. Initially, I had to fill out a 21-question form. I did not mind this very much as I wanted to make sure I was a good candidate for the product. The two-week shipping time, however, annoyed me a bit.
The first night went well for me. I woke up refreshed and my mouth did not feel sore. My wife, however, had a bit of an ache in her jaw. However, after three or four days, she no longer experienced soreness and awoke without pain.
My son told us, after the first night, that he did not hear any snoring sounds coming from our room when we wore the PureSleeps.
My wife and I were annoyed by the complicated cleaning process though. It took a lot longer than with most other stop snoring devices due to the customized design and many nooks and crannies.
VitalSleep stabilizes your lower jaw while pushing it forward, which allows you keep your airway clear when sleeping.
VitalSleep has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
VitalSleep markets itself as Made in America.
Compared to other MAD products, this one arrived very fast. Since the website is secured with a Norton Shopping Guarantee, the product will ship out the same day as long as the order is placed by 3 pm.
We customized our mouthpieces with the boil-and-bite technique.
Despite its appearance, VitalSleep is actually comfortable. My wife especially loved the way her device fit. Usually, one-size-fits-all MADs do not fit well in her mouth. This one was easy to adjust using the hex tool provided.
The next morning, we felt energized and the device only left me with a mild soreness in my mouth and jaw. Our teenage son said that neither one of us had snored the night before. I decided to try readjusting it to see if I could eliminate the soreness. After doing so, I noticed that my mouth felt better after the second night.
My wife and I were reasonably satisfied with the cleaning process. Since there are so many different gaps and crevices in the device, it did take a fair amount of time to scrub it clean. I used a toothbrush and toothpaste to clean it, along with a denture tablet once a week.
The biggest drawback of the PureSleep concerns the fitting process and the elaborate cleaning. My wife would have been a lot happier those first few nights if she had been able to adjust it after the boil and bite like she could the VitalSleep.
If you purchase either mouthguard, make sure to use a VitalSleep coupon or PureSleep Coupon.

Q: AngularJS variable not getting incremented? contactManager.controller('contactsList',
function contactsList($scope){
    $scope.myId = 0;
    $scope.contacts = [{id:$scope.myId,name:'Default',mail:'test@cognizant.com',mobile:'000000'},
                        {id:$scope.myId++,name:'andefined',mail:'undefined@cognizant.com',mobile:'1111'}];
});

contactManager.controller('addContactCtrl',
function addContactCtrl($scope,$location){
    $scope.contact = {};
    $scope.add = function(){
        if($scope.contact.name){
            $scope.contact.id = $scope.myId++; // **Increment Doesn't happen Here. It assigns the same value evertime**
            $scope.contacts.push($scope.contact);
            $location.url('/');
        }
        else{
            alert('Name is mandatory');
        }
    };
});

Increment doesn't happen in $scope.myId++ !
I'm trying the assign id's to every new contact added to the list, but the id's are not getting incremented !!

A: You are better off using a service that provides the ID for you.  You can create a service as follows:
contactManager.service('uniqueIds', function () {
    var currentId = null;

    return {
        getNextId: function () {
            if (currentId === null) {
                currentId = 0;
            } else {
                currentId = currentId + 1;
            }
            return currentId;
        }
    }:
});

You can then use this service in your controllers as follows:
contactManager.controller('contactsList', ['$scope', 'uniqueIds', function ($scope, uniqueIds) {
    $scope.contacts = {
        id: uniqueIds.getNextId(), //Service call
        name: 'Default',
        mail: 'test@abc.com',
        mobile:'000000'
    }, {
        id: uniqueIds.getNextId(), //Service call
        name: 'undefined',
        mail: 'undefined@xyz.com',
        mobile:'1111'
    }];
});

contactManager.controller('addContactCtrl', ['$scope', '$location', 'uniqueIds', function ($scope, $location, uniqueIds) {
    $scope.contact = {};
    $scope.add = function(){
        if($scope.contact.name){
            $scope.contact.id = uniqueIds.getNextId(); //Service call
            $scope.contacts.push($scope.contact);
            $location.url('/');
        } else {
            alert('Name is mandatory');
        }
    };
});

EDIT: If you are looking to generate uniqueIds, then this is not the way to go - You may want to check this out to generate them.

Le Figlie della Provvidenza per le sordomute (sigla F.d.P.SM.) sono un istituto religioso femminile di diritto pontificio.

Storia
Le origini della congregazione risalgono alla scuola gratuita per fanciulle povere del popolo aperta a Modena nel 1817 e diretta da alcune pie donne dette Figlie di Gesù: nel 1822 la scuola cominciò ad ammettere bambine sordomute e, con l'appoggio del duca Francesco IV d'Austria-Este, nel 1828 fu eretta una scuola speciale nell'ex convento degli scalzi presso la chiesa della Madonna del Paradiso. La direzione dell'istituto fu affidata al sacerdote Severino Fabriani.

Per la direzione della scuola, nel 1828 Fabriani fondò la congregazione delle Figlie della Provvidenza per le sordomute, di cui entrarono a far parte alcune insegnanti della dissolta comunità delle Figlie di Gesù.

Le costituzioni dell'istituto furono approvate da papa Gregorio XVI il 9 gennaio 1845. L'istituto ricevette una prima approvazione pontificia temporanea il 6 luglio 1932 e quella definitiva il 7 gennaio 1941.

Attività e diffusione
Le suore si dedicano alla cura delle sordomute.

La sede generalizia è a Modena.

Alla fine del 2015 l'istituto contava 90 religiose in 9 case.

These earbuds aren't perfect, but for $60, they're definitely worth a look.
TaoTronics makes some of the most popular budget headphones on Amazon, and if you caught my review of the company's noise-canceling headphones, you'll know that I've previously been impressed with what TaoTronics can pull off with such competitively-priced products.
The latest TaoTronics headphones to hit the scene is a pair of truly wireless earbuds called the TT-BH052. This is the very first time TaoTronics has tried making a pair of earbuds in this form factor, and while they're far from perfect, this is a really valiant first result that's still worth your consideration.
A good entry into truly wireless earbuds.
Truly wireless earbuds require a lot of work to be any good, and while TaoTronic's first shot at them isn't perfect, reliable Bluetooth performance and a great price makes them worth a look.
If you plan on buying the TaoTronics True Wireless Earbuds, be sure to use the promo code N8IO63G9 at checkout for $20 off your order for a final price of just $40. The code is valid now through December 5 at 11:59 PM EDT.
With truly wireless earbuds, one of the easiest things to get wrong is the pairing and connectivity. So many models utterly fail in these regards, but somehow TaoTronics has managed to avoid most of these pitfalls.
Upon pairing them to your phone for the first time, just put both earbuds in your ears, tap on them from the list of Bluetooth devices on your phone, and they'll connect. From that point forward, they'll automatically connect when you put them in your ears and disconnect when they're placed back in the case.
While not quite as magical as what you'll find with AirPods with an iPhone, everything here works much better than I was expecting. Bluetooth 5.0 is used to deliver strong connectivity for up to 10 meters (33 feet), and while I noticed a couple of tiny dropouts during my testing, it was for less than a second and nothing that really detracts too much from the overall experience.
You can listen in full stereo sound with both earbuds in each ear, or listen to mono audio with just one. Along with that, TaoTronics also offers a Twin Mode that allows two people to each use one earbud.
Add that together with IPX7 water resistance, customizable ear tips, and solid battery life (3 hours of playback with 40 chargers with the charging case), and it's easy to see that TaoTronics did a lot of things right.
On that same note, there are a few areas where I'd like to see some improvements made if we get a version 2 of these earbuds at some point down the road.
For starters, sound quality can't help but feel a bit lifeless. It's perfectly fine for casual listening at the gym or around the house, but don't expect anything more. Songs and podcasts aren't unenjoyable to listen to, but bass is virtually nonexistent.
Sound quality for these earbuds is just OK.
You can control your tunes using a variety of taps on the side of either earbud, ranging from skipping tracks, playing/pausing a song, and even adjusting your volume. Having access to all of these controls is nice and something you won't even find on the $160 AirPods, but if you're not precise with each tap, it's easy to not have anything be registered or to accidentally skip a song when you just meant to pause it.
As for the charging case, I'm a bit hesitant about how well it'll hold up after a few months of solid use. It's relatively portable and simple to use, but the button to open it is extremely mushy and the top plastic feels like it could pop off at any second.
Time to get down to business — should you buy the TaoTronics True Wireless Earbuds?
For its first shot at earbuds of this form factor, I think TaoTronics did an admirable job. The earbuds are enjoyable to use and give you the same conveniences of other products that cost $100 more.
If you absolutely need the truly wireless style, TaoTronics' earbuds are some of the best you'll find within this price range. Then again, if you're okay with the traditional wireless style that has a wire connecting both earbuds, you can get similarly priced products with much better sound.
I wouldn't recommend everyone rush out and buy these ASAP, but for the right buyer, they could be exactly what you've been looking for.

Mike Buesing – independent Xerox service tech
I started my career as a Xerox employee in 1973. After 8 years in a refurb center and 2 years as a field tech in Dallas I quit. I left the comforts of Xerox and joined a company that started the first independent service company to specialize in repairing Xerox copiers.
After 10 years with them I started A-Tech in 1993. A-Tech services the entire Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. I still specialize in selling and servicing Xerox brand copiers and printers. If a customer want a brand new copier I can offer the CopyStar models at a very affordable price. Made by Kyocera Mita they are extremely reliable and simple to use. Supplies are included in my service contracts..

Vintage Xerox Copiers 1959 – 1970's
In 1959, nobody really thought that Gutenberg's printing press needed to be improved on, except Xerox, which introduced the Xerox 914, the first plain paper, automatic copier the world had seen. Between 1959 and 1976, more than 200,000 914s were manufactured. When Xerox hired me in 1973 I was eventually trained to assemble and test these. They didn't have any circuit boards, all relays, timers and switches. They had a 'puffer' that shot a small stream of air to help remove the copy from the drum. They actually made a very sharp copy for back in those days. The lens was either made by Bausch & Lomb or Zeiss. Visit this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmS0Jpo6dxQ
Xerox 9200/9400/9500/9700
This was the first one to produce copies at 120 pages per minute. It was common to see 10-20 copies on them. These were made to military specs and the best ones made in those days. Later they made the 9700, the first high speed digital printer.
In 1966 the Beatles had landed; The Stones were rolling, and Dylan was crooning. Counter culture was groovy. But faster printing wasn't far out, it was already in the office where the squares were working. The Xerox 660 was the fastest table-top, plain-paper copier the company had put out to date. And it reflected the fast times the country was seeing, cranking out and out of sight 11 copies per minute.
This was the first generation of their duplicators. Here's the data I found on the very expensive programmer: The Burroughs 101P479 programmer is a fantastically rare Beam-X circuit which functions as the primary control and display unit in a Xerox 2400, the world's first high-volume photocopier. The 101P479 controls the number of copies being made, and calculates the billable cost on a sliding scale. The 101P479 dates from 1965, and is equipped with five Beam-X Switch magnetic beam switching tubes and several early transistors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExX3AUY-wSo
Times have changed and in a good way. This old beast had cascading developer that dropped toner mixed with developer across the drum, had a gear driven chain-bead mechanism that seldom worked for very long for toner reclaim, helix gears for the lamp scanner, a scan cam that moved the lamp, rotary cam that actuated switches paper feed timing, registration...all crammed into a tiny dark hole. This was one of the first copiers that offered two sided copies.
Xerox notes
Xerox products did cost more but they are built to last for twenty years. They owned the market at first but faced increasing competition as technology changed. For the longest time all Xerox technicians had to wear dress suits to work. We looked great but it wasn't really practical but is was the image Xerox wanted to convey. Service techs flew first class to the national training center, stayed on campus, had free meals, etc. All sales reps trained there as well. One prerequisite to be a sales rep was a 4 year degree. How times have changed!

A Time-Management Guru's 3 Rules to Work By »
Skype Must Be More Transparent, Says Activists And Advocacy Groups
A roster of privacy advocates, Internet activists, journalists and other organizations have issued an open letter to Microsoft, calling on it to issue regular transparency reports about the release of Skype user information to third parties.
The letter was addressed to Skype division president Tony Bates, Microsoft chief privacy officer Brendon Lynch and Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith and signed by groups including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Reporters Without Borders and GreatFire.org. In the letter they said:
Skype is a voice, video and chat communications platform with over 600 million users worldwide, effectively making it one of the world's largest telecommunications companies. Many of its users rely on Skype for secure communications—whether they are activists operating in countries governed by authoritarian regimes, journalists communicating with sensitive sources, or users who wish to talk privately in confidence with business associates, family, or friends.
It is unfortunate that these users, and those who advise them on best security practices, work in the face of persistently unclear and confusing statements about the confidentiality of Skype conversations, and in particular the access that governments and other third parties have to Skype user data and communications.
We understand that the transition of ownership to Microsoft, and the corresponding shifts in jurisdiction and management, may have made some questions of lawful access, user data collection, and the degree of security of Skype communications temporarily difficult to authoritatively answer. However, we believe that from the time of the original announcement of a merger in October 2011, and on the eve of Microsoft's integration of Skype into many of its key software and services, the time has come for Microsoft to publicly document Skype's security and privacy practices.
Concerns that Skype can and has been wiretapped have ramped up since Microsoft bought the VoIP provider for $8.5 billion in cash back in May 2011.
Before that, Skype told CNET in 2008 that it would not be able to comply with wiretapping requests because of its peer-to-peer architecture and encryption techniques. It also said it is not subject to the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. But the Microsoft acquisition fueled concerns that Skype can be used as a spying tool by different governments. Last July, Microsoft refused to diclose whether or not Skype had started taking part in online surveillance after hackers alleged that changes in Microsoft had made to Skype's architecture made it easier for users to be spied on.
The letter calls on Skype to release a regularly updated transparency reports detailing requests for user data by third parties, similar to the ones already released by Google (link via Google Translate), Twitter and Sonic.net twice a year. Here are what co-signers would like to see:
Quantitative data regarding the release of Skype user information to third parties, disaggregated by the country of origin of the request, including the number of requests made by governments, the type of data requested, the proportion of requests with which it complied — and the basis for rejecting those requests it does not comply with.
Specific details of all user data Microsoft and Skype currently collects, and retention policies.
Skype's best understanding of what user data third-parties, including network providers or potential malicious attackers, may be able to intercept or retain.
Documentation regarding the current operational relationship between Skype with TOM Online in China and other third-party licensed users of Skype technology, including Skype's understanding of the surveillance and censorship capabilities that users may be subject to as a result of using these alternatives.
Skype's interpretation of its responsibilities under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), its policies related to the disclosure of call metadata in response to subpoenas and National Security Letters (NSLs), and more generally, the policies and guidelines for employees followed when Skype receives and responds to requests for user data from law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the United States and elsewhere.
Skype has been contacted for comment.

Ignorance comes with consequences
IGNORANCE COMES WITH CONSEQUENCES…. Gallup released a new national survey the other day, noting public attitudes on the origins of life. The results weren't exactly encouraging.
A 40% plurality of Americans seriously believe that humans were created by their God, in our present form, about 10,000 years ago. That's two-fifths of the U.S. population. Another 38% believe evolution occurred, but was guided by divine intervention. Just 16% believe in an entirely natural process, though that number has nearly doubled in recent decades.
Not surprisingly, there's a political dynamic at play — most Republicans (52%) in the United States embrace the notion of young-earth creationism, while Democrats and Independents accept this in much smaller numbers.
Reading these results got me thinking about a story President Obama told about a year ago, after he returned from a trip to Asia. He shared an anecdote about a luncheon he attended with the president of South Korea.
"I was interested in education policy — they've grown enormously over the last 40 years. And I asked him, 'What are the biggest challenges in your education policy?' He said, 'The biggest challenge that I have is that my parents are too demanding.' He said, 'Even if somebody is dirt poor, they are insisting that their kids are getting the best education.' He said, 'I've had to import thousands of foreign teachers because they're all insisting that Korean children have to learn English in elementary school.' That was the biggest education challenge that he had, was an insistence, a demand from parents for excellence in the schools.
"And the same thing was true when I went to China. I was talking to the mayor of Shanghai, and I asked him about how he was doing recruiting teachers, given that they've got 25 million people in this one city. He said, 'We don't have problems recruiting teachers because teaching is so revered and the pay scales for teachers are actually comparable to doctors and other professions. '
"That gives you a sense of what's happening around the world. There is a hunger for knowledge, an insistence on excellence, a reverence for science and math and technology and learning. That used to be what we were about."
I've been thinking a fair amount lately about whether the United States is really in "decline" as an international power, and our ability to compete on the global stage in the 21st century. And in general, I think the push in some circles, including at the White House, for a renewed national emphasis on science and math will benefit the country tremendously.
But then I see a Gallup poll that suggests a plurality of Americans reject the foundation of modern biology, and may very well think The Flintstones were a documentary.
It's not too late for the United States to bounce back from this decline, but we're going to have to do a lot better than this. Our global competitors aren't playing for second place, and the more societal ignorance reigns, the harder it will be for us to come out on top.


Hundreds of motorists formed long queues in front of filling stations in Abuja on Monday as they waited to buy the Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol.
The queues were pronounced in the city centre, stretching several metres in most of the filling stations visited.
It was learnt that the queues were triggered by the planned strike by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, before the oil dealers were prevailed upon by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to suspend it.
In front of the Conoil filling station located directly opposite the headquarters of the NNPC, the queues by motorists grew very long.
The Total filling station close to Conoil was not dispensing petrol when our correspondent visited the outlet. This made the queues in Conoil to grow longer.
The Nipco filling station along the Lugbe Expressway had long queues of motorists waiting to be served petrol.
The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, told our correspondent that the queues could be as a result of the proposed strike by IPMAN members.
"People react to news of strike by oil marketers and this alone can cause queues in filing stations. But the good thing is that they have suspended the strike after the intervention of the Group Managing Director of the NNPC," Ughamadu explained.
He stated that the leadership of IPMAN announced the suspension of the scheduled nationwide strike following a meeting with the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, in Abuja on Monday.
Ughamadu noted that the Chairman, IPMAN Committee on Foreign Exchange Intervention, Products Sourcing and Distribution, Mr. Musa Felande, stated that the meeting with Baru, where peace was brokered, also addressed all the pending issues concerning the association.
Felande was quoted as saying that the meeting put to rest earlier grievances on issues relating to products' supply, the equalisation fund, access to forex and pricing of products, which were of interest to IPMAN.
He said, "This is a very remarkable day for IPMAN and the country. We want to let the public know today that IPMAN is now one single group and we are determined to continue to support the government.


Haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd bring anyone who is interested up to date with the Neural Net stuff I'm working on.
The last post I did on this subject was to piss and moan about the loss of my data source for the Yank racing which pretty much put that project to bed. Undeterred I decided to wait it out and begin anew once the UK flat racing got underway. I'm happy to say that I've been busily gathering data and recording it in a spreadsheet over the past few months and I'm hoping to begin training the network this coming weekend…I just have to get hold of the software that will do all the number crunching for me in the meantime.
Once the testing phase is complete I'm going to put up some proofing picks though I'm not sure where…probably on here and maybe on one other site. The whole point of creating this thing was to try and get something that I could market (plus use it for myself obviously). The beauty of this product is that it gets better with time and no matter how many people decide to buy it (if I think it's marketable) it doesn't affect the market prices in any way like a plunge on an Isiris tip might…everyone uses it in their own way and chooses their own races for forecasting, oblivious to what anyone else might be doing with their copy so really no two copies out there should be alike.

The Gambling Gods Spit In The Eye Of Every Seahawks -6.5 Bettor Out There Last Night With One Of The More All-Time Bad Beats
hubbs12/01/2020 2:25 PM
There's really not much to say after that. Bad beats are rough no question, but that was a special kind of fuck you to the soul. The hail mary prayer deflection to the hail mary specialist himself Richard Rodgers AND the two point conversion spitting in every Seattle backers' eye. It's a loss that'll make you question life as you know it. How are you expected to go to bed and wake up in the morning for work? I'm not sure to be honest with you. The decision to go for two there where the Steven Cheah nerds of the world will tell you is the right call is the ultimate kick in the balls. It's a sledgehammer to the balls in fact. Is it the right call? Numbers will back it up and tell you the odds of not converting a 2 point conversion twice are less than getting it once. To that I say go fuck yourself and your numbers. As a gambler it's a sight that'll make you throw up your dinner and never want to eat again. You got into that final drive not thinking for a second that your number is jeopardy. That was the perfect Doug Pederson stamp on this dogshit game where that bumbling idiot refused to kick on 4th down countless times, thus costing his team points time after time. More on the game as a whole here via Smitty.
That two point conversion attempt, which nerds will tell you is genius, is just cruel and unusual punishment to everyone on Seattle. Eagles +6.5 had zero business covering. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Carson Wentz was atrocious. He played as bad as advertised, and some may argue worse. That's just as bad as it gets. Thoughts and prayers to anyone and everyone who took an L on that final drive. El Pres lost enough money on Black Friday/Cyber Monday with all the amazing deals we had to lose like that. The only thing you can say is fuck you Doug Pederson.
If you were on the right side of this play I don't think you can even publicly acknowledge it. You are asking to get the shit kicked out of you.

GANDHINAGAR: Chief minister Vijay Rupani's announcement that cows and other animals from cities would be moved to a dedicated piece of land on the outskirts has been forgotten and left mired in a bureaucratic tangle. Despite several months passing since the announcement, not one of the eight municipal corporations have begun the process of shifting cattle away from cities. The state revenue, urban development and animal husbandry departments are passing the buck around.
To avert traffic jams caused by cattle blocking roads and accidents, the Gujarat CM had announced in April that the government would provide land at token prices and give financial assistance to cattle owners in eight municipal corporations, so that modern cattle farms can be set up 15km-20km away from the cities. So far, the government has not formed a scheme for cattle owners or allocated land to municipal corporations to shift cattle. The decision was announced by chief minister Vijay Rupani while disbursing Rs 6.77 crore in loans or assistance to 513 cattle owners at a function in Gandhinagar under the aegis of the Gujarat Gopalak Vikas Nigam, as part a scheme for the welfare of the Rabari and Bharwad communities.
The CM said the government will provide electricity, water, cattle sheds and other amenities for these cattle stations, besides assistance of up to Rs 3 lakh for each cattle station, to set up a total of 5,000 cattle stations. The government allocated Rs 140 crore under this head in this year's budget.
The state's animal husbandry and cooperation department has also not formed a formal scheme to be offered to the cattle owners living in cities. Rupani had said our culture has for ages the revered the cow, the Ganges, the Gita and Girdhar and cattle owners have been taking good care of all these four entities. He said it was time cattle owners supplemented their income and added value to their profession through education and self-employment as part of the government's development mantra of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'.
