I want to do something different: Sonu Niigaam
Jul 18, 2010 Ruchika Kher
Mumbai, July 18 (IANS) There was a time when he was the voice behind every other hit Bollywood song, but now Sonu Niigaam says he wants to chart a new course. He's working on a musical project in the US and judging a children's show aimed at bringing Indian and Pakistani children together through music.
"I want to do something different now. I recently came back from Los Angeles. I am working on a musical project there," Sonu told IANS in an interview, explaining his irregular presence in the film world.
"In India everybody knows me, I have a name here but in America they don't know me so well. So there is a song that I want to release in America. I'm just seeing if I can facilitate the release over there...currently I'm busy with that.
"Working on a few other collaborations as well, but won't be able to reveal details just yet," added Sonu, who is known for chartbusters like "Sandese aate hain" ("Border"), "Yeh Dil" ("Pardes"), "Kal ho naa ho" ("Kal Ho Naa Ho") and "Saathiya".
Sonu gained popularity as a host for music show "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" in the 1990s and he is now set to return to the small screen -- this time as a judge.
The singer will be judging music reality show "Chhote Ustaad 2", which will feature 10 children from India and 10 from Pakistan, along with Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
"I did get offers for shows earlier too, but I didn't like them too much. This one is more musically inclined and also spreads a wonderful message of love and peace across the border," Sonu said.
The show will air on STAR Plus from July 24.
"Children have an impressionable mind; so inculcating positivity and a feeling of brotherhood in them from this age will result in a very good future. It's a good initiative and I hope people will appreciate it," the singer said.
Apart from his new ventures, there is something else Sonu is proud of -- his three-year-old son Nevaan. Sonu, who got the gift of music from his father, singer Agam Kumar Niigaam, says his son not only sings but has already turned composer!
"He sings and dances all the time. In fact he has also started composing even though he is just three. He has composed three songs which are very catchy," Sonu told IANS.
The 36-year-old singer married Madhurima Feb 15, 2002, and they had a son July 25, 2007.
"In fact it's not that he's become musically inclined now. Since Nevaan was eight months old I used to sing and he used to sing in the same pitch. It is shocking but true!" said Sonu. Click the Movie button below for more info:

2025 Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk, Release Date, Price
Cherokee / By admin
2025 Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk, Release Date, Price – The existing variation of your famous lightweight SUV has been in existence for some time and yes it is amongst the most ancient designs inside the class. While it nonetheless provides remarkable off-road shows, in addition to a couple of other characteristics, in addition, it believes out-of-date often, beginning from the cabin design, uninspiring dealing with and many others. That is why we anticipate seeing a complete redesign for the following calendar year. At this time, the officers will still be calm however, many options propose this sort of circumstance.
If it redesign takes place, we certainly have without doubt the 2025 Jeep Cherokee brings an entire fill of novelties. It will probably be constructed across a totally new foundation and must have new powertrain possibilities also. Obviously, this redesign brings new appearance and technologies, whilst electrification should likewise engage in essential function within this redesign.
2025 Jeep Cherokee Redesign
The present age group has been available since 2013 and, rationally, it can feel obsolete often. That is we now have undoubtedly how the new age group will be constructed across a fully new foundation. At this stage, we notice two options for your 2025 Jeep Cherokee. The first is by using the popular Giorgio system, which presently underpins the brand new Grand Cherokee. By using these a format, the brand new age group can be considerably less heavy, with a lot better driving a vehicle attributes. Other chance is usually to see advantages from the final year's merging with PSA. This means PSA's program, which could deliver plenty of new opportunities relating to electrification. We believe how the new Cherokee would reveal almost all of its elements with Peugeot 3008 in cases like this, which will come loaded with all sorts of sophisticated technological innovation.
Exterior design usually performs a substantial position in redesigns. Needless to say, the Jeep Cherokee will not be an different therefore we assume the Jeep Cherokee include the totally new design. This period, we do not feel that the corporation will risk, mainly because it do using the past era. Just before the face lift, the outbound age group appearance a bit unusual by Jeep's normal and therefore was not approved quite nicely by Jeep's conventional clients.
As a result, we have been confident that this new technology will instead come with a conservative design, with plenty of creativity obtained from the fairly recently re-designed greater brother – Grand Cherokee. We never anticipate larger changes relating to all round dimensions. The existing age group steps 106.3 in . in wheelbase which is 182 in . very long. Individuals are common measurements for your small SUV portion and that we never count on greater changes once the redesign, being a even bigger dimensions would definitely change the off-road probable inside a unfavorable way.
This is when we assume substantial upgrades. Should you glance at the present model's cabin, it appears out-of-date, it capabilities subpar interior top quality and does not have present day functions. The brand new 2025 Jeep Cherokee ought to repair everything and have a modern day and appealing format. We suppose some ideas will probably be obtained from the latest Grand Cherokee, which would have been a great issue, considering this SUV now characteristics one of many best cabins in their class, loaded with technical characteristics.
Considering we anticipate seeing comparable measurements, we rely on the same volume of interior room. The existing era previously fits grown ups both in series effortlessly, so there is not any requirement for even bigger changes with this element. However, we wish to view a greater freight place, since the recent product does not stay perfectly with this element.
2025 Jeep Cherokee Engine
In terms of powertrain, our company is fairly certain that Jeep will fall the actual inline-several and V6 motors. On the flip side, the fairly recently launched turbo-several must keep on and will also most likely be the bottom engine from the new technology. We have been referring to a 2.-liter turbo-a number of, which includes a optimum production of 270 horse power and 295 lb-toes of torque.
In the event the new 2025 Jeep Cherokee is going to journey on PSA's program, it is going to arrive with lots of alternatives relating to electrification. This specifically means the connect-in hybrid powertrain, which will depend on a 1.6-liter turbo-4 engine and incorporates 1 or 2 electrical engines, dependant upon the settings. By far the most able versions have a maximum production of 300 hp.
2025 Jeep Cherokee Release Date And Price
We feel how the 2025 Jeep Cherokee could get there in the end on this season. The existing version starts off at about 28.000 money, but we know that this new era costs a bit more.

Another MNC under the 'Permanent Establishment' scanner in India
Posted on November 6, 2019 by TP News	in Asia Pacific, India, Latest, Multinational Tax, Singapore, Tax, Tax Avoidance and tagged Experts-Opinion.
By Ritu Shaktawat (Partner, Khaitan & Co, India) and Sneh Shah (Senior Associate, Khaitan & Co, India)
A foreign enterprise could be deemed as having a taxable presence in India if it has a place of business at its disposal in India. The domestic law read with bilateral tax treaties prescribes tests and forms of presence which could be deemed as a taxable presence i.e. a permanent establishment (PE). Once a PE is constituted, income arising to the foreign enterprise which is attributable to its PE is taxable in India.
Existence of a PE and attribution of income thereto are issues of a factual-cum-legal nature and the analysis could be complex and even subjective. Foreign enterprises doing business in India often come under the scanner of the Indian tax authorities to test whether they have a PE in India and if they do, how much income is attributable to the PE for the purposes of taxation in India. In recent times, some large multinational groups such as Formula One, General Electric, Nokia, Daikin have come under the scanner due to the nature of their activities in India. This article discusses the nuances emerging from a recent ruling of the Indian tax tribunal in the case of Hitachi treating its liaison office as its PE in India for six years.
Hitachi Technologies Singapore Pte Limited (Hitachi), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Japan, was engaged in trading operations across ASEAN countries. Hitachi had set up a liaison / representative office in India in the year 1988. In 2007, Hitachi closed its liaison office and opened a branch office.
Under the Indian exchange control laws, a liaison office is not permitted to engage in any income generating activity while a branch office can. Thus, if a liaison office merely carries on liaison, advertising and general market research activities, it should not be treated as a PE. However, a branch office is deemed as a PE unless the scope of its activities suggests otherwise.
Hitachi's liaison office was engaged in marketing, marketing research, sales promotion and communication and logistical support services.
In April 2008, the tax authorities conducted a survey at the premises of Hitachi's branch and collected certain information, based on which they treated Hitachi's liaison office as its PE in India for the years 2001-2002 to 2006-2007. The key sources of information were – statements of employees recorded during the survey proceedings and email communication within the group.
The tax authorities heavily cross-examined the employees of the branch, raising questions such as:
Nature of activities conducted by the liaison office and the branch respectively, and whether there was any difference in the two as earlier conducted by the liaison office and now conducted by the branch;
Number of employees and nature of activities undertaken by each employee;
Reason for conversion of liaison office to a branch office; and
Details regarding salary expenses incurred by Hitachi in relation to employees working in India.
The tax authorities also accessed 93 pages of email communications from the laptop of one of the key employees and heavily relied on email exchanges between the representatives of Hitachi and its tax consultants, wherein the litigation risk exposure and the strategy to deal with this very tax issue was discussed. In such emails, the representative of Hitachi has stated that the liaison office was in fact actively involved in "commercial activities".
Hitachi's key contention was that its office was only acting as a communication channel between the customers and Hitachi and providing logistical support. It therefore contended that the activities of its office were "preparatory and auxiliary" in nature and would fall under the exclusion provided under Para 7(e) of Article 5 of the India-Singapore tax treaty, as per which a PE shall not arise where a place of business is maintained "solely for the purpose of advertising, for the supply of information, for scientific research, or for similar activities which' have a preparatory' or auxiliary character, for the enterprise."
Based on the information unearthed in the course of the survey operation, the tax authorities observed that the key personnel of Hitachi were working in the office and were carrying out advertisement, sales promotion and marketing activities. The office was involved in ascertaining customer requirements, price negotiations, following up on deliveries and chasing the customers for payments.
The tribunal upheld the view of the tax authorities that since Hitachi was engaged in trading operations, the nature of activities undertaken by its office could not be considered as "preparatory and auxiliary" in nature. Such activities are core business activities of Hitachi and therefore, constituted its PE in India.
As regards attribution of income to the PE, the tribunal appreciated that the basis adopted by the tax authorities (considering sales commission charged by an independent agent as a comparable) was not appropriate, given that the office was performing routine and limited functions with negligible risk profile (as compared to an independent agent) and therefore, directed the tax authorities to recompute attributable income, using the Transactional Net Margin Method.
PE analysis is a mixed question of facts and law. This ruling once again highlights the extent to which tax authorities examine facts; they do not limit their review only to the intra-group contractual arrangements but go far beyond it to understand the factual matrix. External and internal email communication and how the representatives on the ground understand the business operations of the offshore group entities emerge to be the key sources of information in such cases. The deciding factor for determining whether the activities are merely "preparatory or auxiliary" in nature or are core functions, is the criticality of such activities vis-à-vis the overall business of the foreign enterprise.

BJ Penn seems unrealistic in new quest for third title
January 12, 2017 by Sean McClure
BJ Penn is back – again. This time he is fighting at 145 pounds at UFC Fight Night 103 against a beast of an opponent in Yair Rodriguez. He has a few factors working hard against his success.
Rodriguez's hunger and desire to make a name for himself by defeating the legend.
Age (38).
Wear and tear on his body. He has been fighting professionally since 2001.
Coming in off a three fight losing streak with the last being a brutal one sided fight ending with a TKO.
Ring rust. His last fight was in July of 2014.
None of those points resonate with Penn obviously because he's back again despite retiring for what seemed like at least a dozen times. It wasn't, but with all of the should he or shouldn't he conversations it was hard to tell if he really was. Now, he says he's on his way to a third title upon this return. Penn told MMA Fighting:
The third title is also 100 percent driving me. Getting those three titles in three different weight classes, that would just be an awesome accomplishment for myself, and then I could probably get some sleep at night. That is my driving factor.
There are virtually no fans who believe he can work his way successfully through the tough competition at 145 pounds and then dethrone now champ Jose Aldo. If they do believe that check to see if they are high. With that being said there are many who would love to see the Hawaiian make a comeback and secure a championship in a third division. The first two he won were at lightweight and welterweight instantly making him the legend he is today. If he were to capture the featherweight belt it would be pandemonium.
Penn admitted he should have not come back so soon to face Frankie Edgar in 2014. He wasn't mentally or physically prepared if you believe the reports. I guess we'll have to wait and see if he was right in coming back now.

VH1 Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night is just getting warmed up, but some of these ladies have already brought plenty of heat to the stage!
Following an epic intro of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas," singers Jojo, Bebe Rexha and Empire's Serayah just wrapped up their performance of the holiday classic, "All Alone on Christmas," proving that being a diva isn't about the age, it's about the slay!
And there is still plenty more where that came from. This year's show also includes performances by Patti Labelle and Chaka Khan, as well as Divas newbies Vanessa Williams and Teyana Taylor!
Be sure to check back for more exclusive updates on this year's VH1 Divas: Unsilent Night!


His stage name is Gushungo and his croaky voice is heard in the song Toita Sei (What Shall We Do?) where he tells how native Africans were oppressed by their British colonisers and complains about the injustices of colonial rule.
Robert Mugabe has reinvented himself as a pop singer.
Zimbabwe's president is featured on the music album, Nhaka Yedu/Our Heritage by Born Free Crew.
The song has been getting blanket radio coverage in Zimbabwe in the run up to planned presidential elections. Buses in Harare have been given free copies of the album and, as a result, play it regularly.
On Power FM, a youth station, the song is played on hourly rotation and on national television the music video is featured regularly just before the news bulletin.
Political analysts say the move is part of a Zanu-PF drive to garner support from the country's largely unemployed and impoverished youth.
"It's a calculated move to try to sell the image of the 87-year-old leader to voters who are over 18," said political analyst Takura Zhangazha.
The executive producer is none other than Minister of Information and Publicity, Webster Shamu.
Mugabe is not new to showbiz. Last year he appeared in a music video talking on a cellphone in street lingo.
Since the turn of the century Zimbabwean political parties have been using music as an avenue for political campaigning.
However, only Zanu-PF music has been finding its way into the mainstream media and anyone who is found playing music from the opposition is liable to be arrested, City Press reported.
A few months ago, a police officer, Assistant Inspector Tedious Chisango, was fired from the force on allegations of playing an MDC T song and "teaching police recruits about regime change".
His employers, the Ministry of Home Affairs, indicated that the policeman had a case to answer because he had an MDC T campaign song as a ringtone on his cellphone.

Activist, actor Ossie Davis dies at 87
February 7, 2005 12:00 am by Matt Schudel
WASHINGTON-Ossie Davis, whose uncompromising character was the hallmark of a distinguished career as an actor, playwright and director, and who stood at the vanguard of the nation's civil rights movement for more than five decades, died Tuesday in his hotel room in Miami Beach, where he was making a movie. He was 87.
Davis's grandson called police when the performer did not respond to a knock at his door at 7 a.m. Police said the cause of death has not been determined, but foul play is not suspected.
Davis, who was best known as an actor, had a deep, lyrical voice redolent of poetry and pain. He also wrote several plays and books, and directed five films in the 1970s, including the seminal "blaxploitation" movie "Cotton Comes to Harlem."
He enjoyed a late blossoming as an actor and as an elder statesman of entertainment and civil rights. In recent years, he appeared on screen in "I'm Not Rappaport," "Grumpy Old Men," "Doctor Dolittle" and "The Client," as well as television shows.
He also acted in six Spike Lee movies, including "School Daze," "Do the Right Thing," "Jungle Fever" and last year's "She Hate Me." For one of Lee's films, "Malcolm X" (1992), Davis reprised the eulogy he wrote and delivered for the funeral of Malcolm X in 1965, in which he called the slain civil rights leader "our own black shining prince."
Between his frequent appearances on stage and in film, Davis had prominent roles on the nation's political stages. He participated in marches for racial equality throughout the South and participated in the 1963 March on Washington, at which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. Five years later, after King was killed by an assassin's bullet, Davis spoke at his funeral.
Despite being briefly blacklisted in the 1950s McCarthyism era, Davis often returned to Washington to speak before congressional committees about the arts or about opportunities for minorities in Hollywood. In 1981, when the Reagan administration proposed a 50 percent cut in the National Endowment for the Humanities budget, Davis registered his disappointment to the House Appropriations subcommittee.
"I am Ossie Davis, actor, writer, director, husband and father," he intoned in his velvet baritone. "And like other working-class people, I was able to pull myself up by my bootstraps-but only because the federal government provided the boots."
Ossie Davis was born Dec. 18, 1917, in tiny Cogdell, Ga. His given name was meant to be Raiford Chatman Davis, but the registrar of births recorded what were supposed to be the initials, "R.C.," as "Ossie."
He grew up in Waycross, Ga., in a verbal culture in which he heard stories of African American life marked by humor, danger and sorrow. From an early age, Davis knew he wanted to be a writer and to improve the lot of his people.
After high school, he hitchhiked to Washington to attend Howard University, where he nurtured his growing interest in theater. Davis was present when Marian Anderson gave her celebrated concert at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday 1939, after she was barred from DAR Constitution Hall.
Leaving Howard one year short of graduation, Davis moved to New York to join the Rose McClendon Players, a black theater group in Harlem.
In 1942, he was drafted into the Army. He spent most of World War II as a surgical technician with a medical unit in Liberia. He later wrote and produced shows for soldiers.
Returning to New York in 1946, he had his first starring role in "Jeb," by Robert Ardrey, about a black veteran who has lost a leg in the war, only to face racial prejudice in the South. The actor met Ruby Dee while working on that play, and the two were married in 1948.
In the late 1940s, Davis studied playwriting at Columbia University and began getting increasingly meaty parts in plays. He appeared in his first movie in 1950, "No Way Out," with Dee. In 1955, he had the lead role in a television production of Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones."
After appearing in "No Time for Sergeants" and in "Jamaica," opposite Lena Horne, Davis took over the lead role from Sidney Poitier in "A Raisin in the Sun" in 1959, with his wife as the female lead.
In 1961, Davis wrote and starred in "Purlie Victorious," a play that satirized both black and white stereotypes of life in the South. He and his wife also starred in the film version in 1963.
Despite critical success, neither Davis nor Dee made the leap to superstardom, possibly because of their unapologetic political stances. They were investigated by the FBI in the 1950s, and in the 1960s they marched with King in the South.
Davis often narrated documentaries, beginning in 1965 with public television's "History of the Negro People." He recorded the poetry of Langston Hughes, as well as the New Testament, for a company owned by his family.
In the 1970s, Davis turned his attention to directing, beginning with "Cotton Comes to Harlem" (1970). He directed four other films, including "Countdown at Kusini" (1976), which he also wrote. From 1978 to 2001, he directed nine TV movies, including "Roots: The Next Generations" (1979) and "Don't Look Back: The Story of Leroy 'Satchel' Paige" (1981).
In the past two decades, Davis found himself in demand as an actor and as a respected veteran of the nation's cultural and racial wars. From 1990 to 1994, he appeared regularly on the NBC show "Evening Shade" as Ponder Blue, the philosophical owner of a barbecue shack. He was filming his 35th movie, "Retirement," at the time of his death.
Davis continued to write plays, including a musical version of "The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars" and an adaptation of Mark Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson." He wrote a novel, "Just Like Martin" in 1992. In 1998, he published an autobiography with his wife, "With Ossie and Ruby: In This Life Together."
He lived for many years in New Rochelle, N.Y., where he taught Sunday school at a Baptist church.
Survivors include his wife, who was making a film in New Zealand when her husband died; two daughters and one son; and seven grandchildren.
Davis continued his activism to the end, most recently protesting the war in Iraq.
"We can't float through life," he told NPR radio host Tavis Smiley in November. "We can't be incidental or accidental. We must fix our gaze on a guiding star as soon as one comes upon the horizon, and once we have attached ourselves to that star, we must keep our eyes on it and our hands on the plow."

This cute and quizzical elephant was created (by Grace) by collaging hand painted papers especially made by our second graders.
We began this lesson by learning about favorite artist/author Eric Carle. This movie: Eric Carle, Picture Writer is a great way to see him at work.
Students painted the papers collaboratively at tables on tissue paper, using many tools such as stamps, carpet bits, cardboard, combs, etc. We tried to do as Eric Carle did – just paint pretty papers but not think about painting something in particular. After the papers had dried, they were sorted by color and cut down to manageable sizes.
This is a slightly altered project from the Usborne Complete Book of Art Idea. Second grade created these for the school art show. This project came on the heels of our big Eric Carle collage project.
If you look closely at the projects, they are made of three separate sections (or strips) that are then stapled to a piece of poster board.I gave each student a piece of 4 1/2″ X 12″ white tag to work with for the first strip, 6″ X 12″ for the second, and the last strip (the skyscrapers) are made on a slightly taller piece (sometimes I even give them the entire 9″ X 12″ piece).
They are then given a scrap box filled with lots of hand painted patterned papers The first strip must have a street and a row of houses. The second row must have more houses! The last row gets skyscrapers. Lots of super creative kids added landmarks, such as the St. Louis Arch (go figure, we're outside of Denver), the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty along with the tall buildings.
I had them leave a slight bit of white at the bottom of each strip. Staple all three rows on to a piece of railroad board or poster board, bending each row slightly so that they stand out in a curved arc.


Care: Leave open to dry. Wipe clean with damp cloth.

Q: Run a php script in the background I am trying to run a php script in the background on windows.
Basically my goal is to run a exe file in the background and receive a signal when its done.
I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks.

A: make a .bat file and on that bat file reference php file then it will work

A: if your using linux environment, i suggest creating a bash file and put your commands.
and if your using windows environment, use .bat file and put your commands.
php filename.php <arguments>
php another_filename.php <arguments>

and then run in in the terminal.. for the signal, you can exit() your php script based on what the condition your script needs..
UPDATE
Regarding your comment, if you want the webpage to create an executable then you must use the backtick or exec() in your web php file
for example, in your web php file:
//other php codes
echo `php runthisfile.php`;
echo exec('php runthisfile.php');
//other php codes

then if this is encountered, in the background, it will run the runthisfile.php file.. the backtick is a special symbol in php and exec() is a function that enables you to execute command line instructions..
and regarding the signalling, there are many approach.. some are:

*

*in the background file, you can store a value in the database that the web page is listening to

*make a soap call that uses xml as its data medium

*or if what I think is right, just use AJAX in your web.. it really is helpful

Q: Can JavaScript read the contents of an iframe? Is it possible for JavaScript to read the contents of an iframe embedded in the same page?
If it is, then the same-origin policy could be bypassed? I know of the XMLHttpRequest; it cannot be used to fetch data from other sites by the same-origin policy, e.g., an HTTP GET-request.
Reading the contents of an iframe would effectively provide the same functionality as (unrestricted) XMLHttpRequest's fetching resources from arbitrary websites?

A: The short answer is, JavaScript can only look into an iframe from the same domain. So, no, you can't use an iframe get unrestricted cross domain access.
The longer answer is if you wanted to test this yourself, install a simple web server. It will take you < 2 mins. Here's a bunch
Edit your /etc/hosts file or C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file and add
127.0.0.1  first.com
127.0.0.1  second.com

Make a folder with an index.html and an iframe.html. Put some JavaScript in index.html to try to look into iframe.html and also to include iframe.html as an iframe

Hello world

Run your server using that folder. In the browser go to
http://second.com/8080:index.html
Open the devtools (chrome, firefox), look at the console, you should see
Hello World

This worked because they are both on the same domain.
Now change the URL in your browser to http://first.com:8080/index.html
This time you'll see something like
VM41:66 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'contentDocument'
 property from 'HTMLIFrameElement': Blocked a frame with origin
"http://first.com:8080" from accessing a cross-origin frame.
at HTMLIFrameElement.contentDocumentDesc.get [as contentDocument]

Note: depending on which server you use you'll need to change 8080 above to match the port your server uses.

This year was notable for all five nominees being episodes of Star Trek.
Winner: Star Trek - "The City on the Edge of Forever (1967) [Desilu] Written by Harlan Ellison; Directed by Joseph Pevney

Some African-American leaders are criticizing talk show host Glenn Beck for the date and location of his planned rally in Washington this weekend. The rally will be at the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream Speech,'' 47 years after King's famous address.
Beck has said he didn't know that Aug. 28 was the anniversary of King's speech until after he announced the event, but that he believed the rally was in keeping with King's ideals. One of King's nieces will address the rally, says a statement by organizers on Beck's web site. Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, is also scheduled to speak.
Neither Sharpton nor Holmes Norton has said the National Park Service should have refused a permit for Beck's event. The park service grants permits on the basis of safety and has approved demonstrations on the National Mall in recent years including the National March for Life, March for Women's Lives and Million Man March.

Asbestos Plaintiffs No Longer Barred by Indiana Product Liability Act's Statute of Repose
Paul Steinhofer · April 1, 2016 ·
In Myers v. Crouse Hinds Div. of Cooper Indus., (2016 Ind. LEXIS 156), the Supreme Court of Indiana found that Section 2 of the Indiana Product Liability Act violates the Indiana Constitution. Further, the Court held that the Indiana Product Liability Act's Statute of Repose does not apply to cases involving protracted exposure to inherently dangerous substances, such as asbestos. This decision will likely change the asbestos litigation landscape in Indiana by allowing a large number of claims that would previously have been barred.
In Myers, the Court consolidated three appeals involving the constitutionality of the Indiana Product Liability Act. Each case alleged damages resulting from exposure to asbestos. The central issue in each appeal was the trial court's ruling on a motion for summary judgment asserting the ten-year statute of repose included in Indiana's Product Lability Act.
The plaintiffs argued that Section 2 violated the Indiana Constitution's Equal Privileges and Immunities Clause, Article 1, Section 23. Specifically, they argued that Section 2 drew a constitutionally impermissible distinction between asbestos plaintiffs injured by defendants who both mined and sold raw asbestos and asbestos plaintiffs who were injured by defendants outside that category.
The Court recognized the disparate treatment between the two classes of plaintiffs in violation of Indiana's Equal Privileges and Immunities Clause and invalidated Section 2. The Court found that whether asbestos plaintiffs are seeking relief from defendants who mined and sold raw asbestos or from defendants who provided products containing asbestos does not constitute an inherent distinguishing difference between asbestos plaintiffs. The Court further found that although both classes of plaintiffs were similarly situated, they received unequal treatment under Section 2 of the statute. Both findings violated the standard required by Indiana law to comply with Indiana's Equal Privileges and Immunities Clause. See Collins v. Day, 644 N.E.2d 72, 80 (Ind. 1994).
Following its determination that Section 2 is invalid, the Court restored its holding in Covalt v. Carey Canada, Inc., 543 N.E.2d 382 (Ind. 1989), as controlling precedent interpreting Section 1 of the Indiana Product Liability Act. In Covalt, the Court held that a plaintiff may bring suit within two years after discovering a disease and its cause, notwithstanding that the discovery was made more than ten years after the last exposure to the product that caused the disease. The holding was limited to cases as those presented in Myers, where the injury to the plaintiff was caused by a disease which may have been contracted as a result of protracted exposure to a foreign substance.
The Court's decision in Myers has the potential to dramatically change asbestos litigation in Indiana. During McKenna Storer's many years of representation of multiple defendants in Indiana asbestos litigation, we have successfully utilized the statute of repose defense to defeat and limit claims against our clients. We may now experience a surge in asbestos filings in this jurisdiction as cases that would have been previously barred can now proceed.

Die Chusrawiyya-Moschee (, ) war eine historische osmanische Moschee aus der Zeit Süleymans des Prächtigen in der syrischen Stadt Aleppo. Sie wurde 2014 während des Bürgerkriegs in Syrien zerstört.

Geschichte
Der Komplex wurde zwischen 1531 und 1534 vom damaligen Gouverneur von Aleppo, Hüsrev Pascha, in Auftrag gegeben und von dem Hofarchitekten Mimar Sinan entworfen. Die Fertigstellung erfolgte in den 1540er Jahren. Die Stiftungstafel über dem Tor der Moschee trug das Datum 1546, das Sterbejahr des Stifters.

Die nach ihm benannte Anlage war der größte Moscheekomplex (külliye) seiner Zeit und umfasste neben der Moschee auch ein Krankenhaus, eine öffentliche Beköstigungsanstalt, Gasträume und eine Medrese (Koranschule), die auch als "Azhar von Aleppo" bekannt war. Das Minarett der Chusrawiyya-Moschee hatte einen verzierten scherefe (Balkon) und eine typisch türkische Bleistiftspitze. Über der Gebetshalle befand sich eine große Kuppel, daneben auf beiden Seiten zwei kleiner bekuppelte Derwischzellen (tabhane) sowie ein Ruheort für Reisende und ein Geschäft. Über der Tür stand eine Inschrift in Naschī-Schrift. Südlich der Chusrawiyya-Moschee befand sich ein klein bekuppeltes Mausoleum, wo Frau, Sohn und Neffe Hüsrevs begraben waren. Größere bauliche Veränderungen gab es im Laufe der Zeit nur an der Moschee, die einen fünftorigen Portikus bekam.

Der Komplex besaß mehrere Wirtschaftsbetriebe, die Einnahmen zu seiner Versorgung generierten, darunter eine Karawanserei und einen großen Suq mit vielen Geschäften. Beim Erdbeben von Aleppo im Jahr 1822 wurde der Komplex beschädigt, die Karawanserei danach geschlossen und die meisten Geschäfte zerstört. In den folgenden Jahren war die Anlage verlassen und wurde von Armen und Obdachlosen bewohnt. Eine erste Wiederinstandsetzung des Baus erfolgte 1884 durch den Gouverneur Dschamil Pascha Namiq, der die Moschee wieder in Betrieb nahm. Ab 1911 wurde die Medrese restauriert und der nördliche Portikus erneuert. Diese Arbeiten wurden im Ersten Weltkrieg unterbrochen, als der Komplex als Material- und Truppenlager genutzt wurde. Unter der Leitung des Stiftungsdirektors Yahya al-Kayyali wurde die Restaurierung des östlichen Abschnitts der Anlage 1921 fortgesetzt und die Schule wurde neu als Religionshochschule eröffnet. Im weiteren Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden weitere Restaurierungsarbeiten durchgeführt, darunter die Stabilisierung der großen Kuppel.

Die älteste osmanische Moschee der Stadt Aleppo wurde im August 2014 durch eine starke Explosion komplett zerstört, zurückgeblieben ist ein großer Krater. Der kulturelle Verlust wird angesichts der herausragenden historischen und architektonischen Bedeutung der zum Frühwerk Sinans gerechneten Anlage, die der Stadt Aleppo einen völlig neuen, die osmanische Periode der Stadtgeschichte prägenden baulichen Charakter verlieh, als dramatisch bewertet.

SPANISH RADIO, ANALYST
Pedro 'Tony' Oliva Jr., or 'Tony-O' to those who followed his 24-year career as a Twins player and coach, was a man who seemed to excel in all aspects of the game. He could hit for power and average, run, field and throw, and his versatility made him one of the most feared hitters of his day.
Tony-O collected 1,917 hits and retired with a .304 career average. He is the only player to win batting titles in his first two seasons and was the winner of three in his 15-year career, which still stands as the club's longevity mark. His prowess as a hitter was demonstrated in the fact that he led the league in hits five times, and his 220 career home runs rank fourth all-time among Twins. If not for knee problems which cut his career short, Oliva would have been a certain choice for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Oliva, the 1964 American League Rookie of the Year, began his coaching career in 1976. He also works as a hitting instructor in the Twins minor league system and scouts for the club. He had his number 6 retired July 14, 1991 and was selected to the Twins 25th Anniversary Team in 1986 and the 40th Season Anniversary All-Time Team in 2000. He was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame on August 12, 2000, and was named one of the "50 Greatest Twins" in 2010. In 2013, he became the eighth ever recipient of the Herb Carneal "Lifetime Achievement" Award.
TELEVISION, COLOR ANALYST
This will be the Hall of Famer's 24th full season as color commentator for the Twins. Blyleven pitched in the major leagues for 23 years, including 11 seasons for the Twins, from 1970-92. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on January 5, 2011 and was inducted on July 24, 2011 in Cooperstown, NY. The native of Zeist, Holland, Bert is very proud to be the first Dutch born major league player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He served as the pitching coach for Team Netherlands in the 2009 and 2013 World Baseball Classic.
Blyleven is one of only three major league pitchers all-time to win a major league game before his 20th birthday and after his 40th birthday (Herb Pennock and Mike Morgan). He also pitched at the major league level with Texas, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and California. He still holds the Twins club record for total strikeouts (2,035), shutouts (29) and complete games (141). In 1973, he went 20-17 with a 2.52 ERA, tossing 25 complete games in 40 starts, including nine shutouts and 325.0 innings. He posted double-digit wins in 17 different seasons. As a member of the Texas Rangers in 1977, Bert tossed a no-hitter, defeating the Angels at Anaheim Stadium.
On baseball's all-time list, Blyleven ranks fifth in strikeouts (3,701), 10th in games started (685), ninth in shutouts (60), third in complete game 1-0 wins (15), 14th in innings pitched (4,970.0), eighth in home runs allowed (430), and tied for 26th in wins (287). He was voted AL Rookie Pitcher of the Year in 1970 and AL Comeback Player of the Year in 1989. Bert pitched in two All-Star games and was a member of two Championship World Series teams (Pirates in 1979 and Twins in 1987).
Bert and his wife, Gayle, reside in Fort Myers, FL during the off-season and have six children and eight grandchildren. They are involved in helping raise funds for Parkinson's Association and other charitable organizations.

While there, he began his play-by-play career doing University of Iowa basketball for two years.
He was named weekend sportscaster at WTCN-TV (now KARE-11) in 1981. After two years, he left to begin his Twins play-by-play career with Spectrum Sports in 1983. He remained there until 1985 while also doing Minnesota North Stars games. He rejoined the Twins broadcast team in 1987 and has remained there working for Twinsvision, Midwest Sports Channel and FS North.

Justin Morneau joined the Twins front office on January 17, 2018 and 2019 marks his second season in the broadcast booth here in 2018. Morneau, 37, was drafted by the Twins in the third round of the 1999 First-Year Player Draft and played 14 seasons in the major leagues, including 11 seasons with the Twins from 2003-13. He also played for Pittsburgh, Colorado and Chicago-AL from 2013-16.
The former first baseman played a key role on three different AL Central Division championship teams and won the American League Most Valuable Player Award in 2006. The four-time All-Star played 1,278 games in a Twins uniform, hitting .278 with 221 home runs and 860 RBI.
Morneau's responsibilities will include, but not are limited to, helping position player development by focusing on transition programs and teaching an understanding of major league expectations, environment, and culture. He will also be involved in the amateur draft process and throughout the year as a resource for player acquisitions. Additionally, Morneau occasionally serves as analyst for Twins television broadcasts.
Additionally, he will ultimately be responsible for serving as a resource for players and coaches in the mental and fundamental aspects of the game. In his role as Special Assistant, he will join Michael Cuddyer, Torii Hunter and LaTroy Hawkins by participating in Spring Training, instructional programs, and visit all minor league affiliates throughout the season. He will work alongside the Baseball Operations staff and uniform personnel to ensure development in player understanding of culture, talent evaluation and organizational vision. In addition, Morneau will play a part in supporting the Twins community efforts, being involved in charities and community work throughout Twins Territory.

The suggestion that the tropics will never have "advanced economies"
Thread starter VHS
develop least developed countries
World History Forum
Florania
Today, most (if not all) of the least developed countries are tropical countries, with the notable exception of Afghanistan.
Many explanations have been made:
The tropical climate renders the residents rather lackadaisical.
Tropical soils are relatively unproductive.
Diseases are quite rampant in the tropics.
These areas are late for civilizations.
Are these suggestions false?
Are there alternative explanations?
Can areas in the tropics become advanced economies?
Reactions: Futurist

Economy of Malaysia - Wikipedia
Olleus
I would tend to agree that, historically, developing a sophisticated society in the tropics would be harder than in temperate zones (just like it's hard in the arctic, or deserts or many other places). But I'm not sure why the reasons you gave would apply today. Advanced economies are - by definition - not agriculture based, modern medicine eliminates the problem of diseases, air conditioning and good architecture negates the temperature problem, and so on
Reactions: Tulius and Futurist
Ad Honoris
Olleus said:
Not really... all of this has a cost..... Optimal economies have a good mix of resources -in a wide sense- (temperate climate, water, wood, mineral resources, security)
VHS said:
Yes, there are objective reasons why its generally harder to have advanced economies in a tropical climate zone.... The recent invention of air conditionning has removed some of the issues but not all
Singapore will of course be cited but it is a city with an ideal location (sitting astride 60% or so of the world's maritime traffic)...
But there are advanced economies in Taiwan, southern China.... Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines are not yet there but have good prospects...
tomar said:
No economy has ever been even remotely close to optimal, whatever an optimal economy even means. Besides, you don't need to be optimal to be advanced, that's just moving the goal posts.
Maybe the cost of air conditioning and modern medicine are less than the cost of having to work around cities that are thousands of years old and whose layout is far from optimal for the modern world. Sometimes catching up from an initial situation with a disadvantage is easier than maintaining a lead but being encumbered with lots of baggage.
Yes maybe optimal was not the right word... But the cost of what in effect is "artificial climate" should not be neglected (at the other end of the spectrum climates that are too cold also create issues of their own)...... And there are 1000+ years old cities in the tropics as well...
holoow
Panama, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic are not that bad.

define unproductive soils.
They grow plenty of local foods there.
notgivenaway said:
It is about the tropical rain forests that are rather poor in nutrient; then, Thailand alone provides a substantial portion of rice.
Being starchy and (arguably) more nutritious than grains, breadfruits and baobabs can (perhaps) become staple foods of some people.
Previously, agricultural diets were quite monotonous; introduction of exotic produce has expanded our choices.

«Брейк-данс» () — американская музыкальная комедия Джоэла Силберга, вышедшая в 1984 году.

Сюжет
Главный герой фильма Келли «Special K» Беннетт — молодой танцор, тренирующаяся под руководством инструктора Франко в Венеции, Калифорния. Через своего друга Адама Келли встречает двух уличных танцоров, Озона и Турбо на набережной на Венис-Бич. Келли очарована их танцем, и они становятся друзьями. Затем они объединяются в танцевальну группу.

Франко говорит Келли, что брейк-данс — это низкопробный танец, а не настоящее искусство. Он неуважительно относится к Озону и Турбо и неуместно заигрывает с Келли. Она бросает тренировки с Франко. Позже Келли посещает танцевальные прослушивания, но её не берут в труппы.

Затем Келли отправляется на мероприятие по брейк-дансу, где находит Озона и Турбо в разгар танцевальной битвы, которую они в конечном итоге проигрывают соперникам трио «Электро Рок». Келли утешает и поддерживает Озона, она убеждает труппу записаться на танцевальный конкурс. Друг Келли, агент Джеймс, видит, что группа может показать себя, и соглашается их поддержать.

Конкурсные требования — традиционные, уважаемые обществом стили танца. Труппа выступает перед судьями в смокингах, цилиндрах и белых перчатках, чтобы произвести впечатление традиционных танцоров. Незадолго до начала прослушивания они срывают рукава своих рубашек и демонстрируют свой истинный стиль. Судьи поначалу шокированы и неодобрительны. Тем не менее, через две минуты после прослушивания судьи признают талант труппы и позволяют им продолжить. Труппа заслуживает овации судей и побеждает в конкурсе. Популярность труппы стремительно растет, и все трое продолжают танцевать профессионально не только на улице.

I suppose some people might equate what I'm saying with blind reverence for tropes. Some might say I'm willfully ignoring the uglier aspects of those tropes–the damsels in distress, the irredeemable evils, the men in white hats who aren't very interesting. Some might say I'm disregarding the whole reason we started subverting and deconstructing them.
I don't agree with that. I can see where it might seem like that, but I don't agree.
Because I'm not advocating regurgitation. I'm not advocating that we copy or mimic. I'm not advocating that people just continue on upholding the tropes and leave them on pedestals behind velvet ropes.
Rather, I'm advocating that we play with them. Let's find out what made us fall in love with them, rather than finding out why we shouldn't be in love with them. Let's flesh them out. Let's build on top of them. Let's take the parts we like from them and smooth over the parts we hate. Let's see where they go and carry them to new conclusions.
Let's have fun. Let's be okay with writing fun.

On Comic Actor Charles "Charlie" Ruggles
A nod today for actor Charles "Charlie" Ruggles (1886-1970). While his brother Wesley had more of a pedigree in silent comedy and eventually became a successful director, Charles became the better known Ruggles, valued as a comic actor in dramas (i.e. the "comic relief") as well as full-bore comedies. Born in Los Angeles, he started his stage career in 1905, making it to both films and Broadway by 1914. He was in only a handful of silent pictures, making his first significant mark in the New York theatre, in shows such as The Passing Show of 1918, and Battling Butler (1923-1924), which was later made into a film by Buster Keaton.
It was the in the era of talkies that Ruggles' film career took off, and he was generally cast as easily flustered, comfortable-looking middle-aged men. Notable pictures included the horror film Murders in the Zoo (1932); the Lubitsch classic Trouble in Paradise (1932); several pairings with Mary Boland, including the all-star Six of a Kind (1934), the unjustly forgotten and coincidentally titled Ruggles of Red Gap (in which, ironically Charles Laughton plays Ruggles, 1935), and People will Talk (1935), and the performance he may be best known for today, the big game hunter in Howard Hawks' Bringing Up Baby (1938). From 1949 to 1952 he had his own tv situation television comedy The Ruggles and from then on, his career consisted mostly of guest shots on series television, and stage work, although he would occasionally return to films, e.g. the Disney pictures The Parent Trap (1961) and Son of Flubber (1963).
I'm guessing you've seen most of these movies and a good many others that Ruggles appears in, so instead today we will show you a greater oddity, a 1950 episode of his sit com:

Q: .Net AutoCAD Mechanical OperateTransaction.Commit doesn't work I create a new Layer and want user select an object which will belong the new Layer

In AutoCAD 2013 & AutoCAD 2013 it work, when user select object he can see the new layer in AutoCAD, but in AutoCAD Mechanical 2016 it doesn't work, unless my .Net program is close.

    LayerTableRecord NewLayer = new LayerTableRecord();
    NewLayer.Color = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Color.FromColor(Color.FromArgb(RandomNum.Next(255), RandomNum.Next(255), RandomNum.Next(255)));
    NewLayer.Name = NewLayerName;

    //add this
    LayerList.Add(NewLayer)

    OperateTransaction.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(NewLayer, true);
}

Home Web Content Bill Gates a Fast-Rising Star on Twitter
Bill Gates a Fast-Rising Star on Twitter
By Stuart J. Johnston | January 20, 2010
Microsoft co-founder and chairman signed onto Twitter for the first time Tuesday, and immediately began racking up followers -- just in the first few hours he had already accumulated more than 70,000 followers and appeared to be picking up as many as 1,000 new followers every few seconds.
His Twitter address is @BillGates. But is it real and not a fake?
Despite the fact that there have been many celebrities spoofed by tweeters pretending to be them, this account bears Twitter's "Verified Account" check box logo.
Additionally, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that Bill Gates' tweets are bona fide.
"We confirm that those tweets are from Bill Gates," the spokesperson said in an e-mail to InternetNews.com.
Gates' apparent immediate goal is to encourage Twitter users to contribute to relief efforts for Haiti. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has its own Twitter Account (@gatesfoundation) with more than 350,000 followers, is focused on charity in the developing world.
One of Gate's first tweets was to thank Ryan Seacrest, who helped out Larry King with the emcee duties during a CNN sponsored special on Monday to raise money for earthquake victims.
"[T]hanks for your work on this, it will have a real impact for the people in Haiti who need it most," Gates tweet said. Seacrest responded with a Welcome to Twitter message.
King, himself, is a twitterer and last year had a contest with actor Ashton Kutcher over who could get to 1 million followers first. Kutcher won that round and established a world record.
Gate's first tweet included the old programmer's greeting "hello world."
"Hello World." Hard at work on my foundation letter - publishing on 1/25."

These Were Queen Victoria's Favorite Drugs
By Tom Meisfjord/June 17, 2020 1:15 pm EST
Consider, for a moment, that every historical figure you've ever studied or admired probably, at some point, got stoned to the bone. It's a humbling slice of perspective, but it's true: John F. Kennedy was on piles of amphetamines. Marcus Aurelius loved opium, according to NPR. Nancy Reagan used to throw weeks-long whippit ragers in the White House bowling alley. Only one of those is made up.
And Queen Victoria, long may she reign, was apparently not averse to the 19th century equivalent to binge watching Doctor Who while eating a bucket of Utz Cheese Balls. At least, that's what the BBC reported back in 2012 in a retrospective article on Great Britain's 100-year-long war on drugs. They state that up until the International Opium Convention of 1912 England wasn't, from a political perspective, big into harshing people's buzz.
And least harshed of all was the buzz of Queen Victoria, who, with nine children and a full time job, probably needed to cut loose once in a while.
Have you ever seen someone look so blissfully stoned?
First, there was the opium, which Her Majesty apparently enjoyed taking in a tincture with her tea. As ways of getting lit go, that's roughly as British as you can get without baking Rowan Atkinson into ayahuasca-laced crisps and eating them on the tube. At the time, opium didn't carry the same stigmas that it holds today, and it was widely considered the most fun a person a person could have with a prescription.
There was also the cocaine. During the 19th century, cocaine use skewed less towards "let's see how much of this we can fit in Al Pacino's face" than it does today. If anything, it was like the tattoos in a pack of Fruit Stripes – something you put in gum to make it more fun for kids. The BBC has reported that Queen Victoria sampled some with a young Winston Churchill.
Finally, it's a matter of record that during childbirth, Her Majesty went hard, breathing deep the sweet, proliferous bouquet of chloroform. According to the New York Times, she described the experience as "soothing, quieting and delightful beyond measure."
Or to put it another way, she was, if only for a moment, amused.

Community Conversation - Older people's health
124 members of the public came along to the community conversation and OPEN forum held at King's Hall, in Stoke-on-Trent, on Thursday 20 October 2016.
To download the presentation from the day, please click on the link below:
Community Conversation Presentation 19.10.16
Feedback from the event has been used to develop a number of recommendations. A summary report is available:

Watch our round-up video from the event:
Community Conversation on healthcare for older people - event summary
The event was organised by Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Groups in partnership with Saltbox Christian Centre's Older People Engagement Network (OPEN), to allow people to meet health commissioners and share their views on frail and elderly care.
People could also speak to 40 representatives of 19 community groups and charities, including Changes Health & Wellbeing, Action for Blind People, Healthwatch, the Slips & Falls service at Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service and Action on Hearing Loss.
Attendees listened to presentations by Dr Mark Williams of Leek Health Centre, John Larkham of Age UK North Staffordshire, Sally Parkin from Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire CCGs and Tracey Preston from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service.
In a workshop session, people were asked for their views on what services should be available to better support patients aged 50+ to stay healthy, independent and out of hospital.
They discussed how patients could be helped to prevent slips, trips and falls and how local organisations could work together to help reduce falls for older people. The CCGs also asked how they could best communicate with patients to let them know about what services were available to them and how they could best access them.
The views of the public will be analysed and used to help make future decisions about providing health services for older people.
Sally Parkin, Clinical Director for Partnerships and Engagement for the CCGs, said: "This has been a brilliant event - very positive but also very realistic. People have been very honest in speaking about the problems that we have in our system but it has been helpful and optimistic about what needs to happen to make things right.
"It has been a privilege to work with Saltbox and OPEN and working in partnership is a really good way to ensure that we are sharing this valuable intelligence. We will now collate this information and take it back to our patient and public involvement groups and will create actions based upon what people have told us."
The community conversation was one of a series of meetings which will be taking place across Stoke and North Staffordshire in the coming months, giving the public the opportunity to learn more about the way health services are commissioned and how decisions will be made in future.
Patients are also being encouraged to play their part in making healthcare decisions by joining their GP surgery patient participation group (PPG) or membership scheme, the patient congress at their local CCG, or by joining the north Staffordshire Citizens Jury, which is currently investigating mental health provision.

Members of the public can also make their views heard by contacting their local Patient Advice and Liaison Service at Patient Advice and Liaison Service
