Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley won't seek re-election in 2022
Pulaski Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley released a statement today saying he won't seek re-election in 2022.
His decision is related to a medical condition.
His statement:
For the last several months I have been experiencing severe vertigo that has not responded to traditional treatments. I have had numerous tests that have not pinpointed the cause and been on several different medications that have not alleviated the problem. While vertigo is not life threatening, due to the seriousness of my condition, it has made my daily life difficult.
At this time and in fairness to everyone involved I want you to know that I will not be seeking re-election and will retire at the end of my term in 2022 It has been a humble honor and privilege to be a prosecutor since 1991.
Jegley oversaw prosecutions in the state's largest county, meaning the biggest load of criminal cases with a staff of almost four dozen prosecutors. I thought he managed to balance well the crush of crime against complaints about police misconduct and the need for reform in the justice system.
In doing so, he occasionally drew criticism from all sides. Example: Though he tried twice to convict a well-connected police officer for killing a suspect, he still drew criticism from police critics who say he didn't try hard enough. The current Little Rock police chief, Keith Humphrey, hasn't been happy with some of Jegley's decisions on handling matters referred by his office. Jegley also drew fire for not prosecuting Charles Starks in the killing of Bradley Blackshire. Humphrey fired Starks contrary to recommendations of officers in the line of command.
Jegley is about 68, a 1974 graduate of Hendrix College, and had been expected to run again for the office before the health issue arose. The office covers Perry as well as Pulaski County.
After law school in Little Rock, he did stints with the administrative office of the Supreme Court, as legal adviser to the North Little Rock police, the Court of Appeals and the law school legal clinic. When Mark Stodola became prosecutor in 1991, he hired Jegley as his chief deputy. When Stodola left the job to run for Congress, Jegley ran to fill the post in 1996 and has been there since. He's never had an opponent in eight races, which tells you something.

What is the maximum number of circles of area one packable, without overlapping, onto a sphere of radius one?
Do you mean on the surface of the sphere?
For stack exchange "geometry" would be a tag.
Yes, thank you, the surface. Tag, you're it!
Interesting question! Is each circle's area the area of the smaller part of the sphere's surface that is enclosed by the circle? If so, the answer must be less than 4pi (the surface area of the sphere), and so is at most 12. I would imagine that 7 non-overlapping circles could be accommodated quite easily. I think the answer is 10.
The question is very ambiguous. What does it mean to have a circle on the boundary of a sphere?
To start with, you probably don't mean circles since they are 1 dimensional and have no area. I guess you mean disc? But this also has problems since strictly speaking, no disc of positive radius exists on the surface of a sphere.
The only way I can parse this is that you mean a topological disc (i.e. a set which is homeomorphic to a disc) of area 1. In this case however, the answer is pretty trivial. Either you allow them to intersect in which case the answer is clearly infinite. Or, they may not intersect and skipjack's upper bound of 12 is obviously attainable.
Since I doubt the latter interpretation is what you have in mind, but I don't know how else to even interpret this, you should ask the question more clearly.
My general question might loosely be stated as "What is the maximum number of circles of area one which do not overlap, and pack onto a spherical surface of radius N, where N is a nonzero integer?"
The achievable maximum density of circles on the sphere surface would asymptotically reach the well known Pi*sqrt(3)/6 ~= 0.9069 of the hexagonal lattice packing of circles in the plane.
If you are you interested in 'exact' values, then the only proven results are for N=1 (9 or 10 circles dependent on the area definition), and unproved results with good numerical evidence would be 40 or 42 circles for N=2 and 94 or 95 circles for N=3."
SDK: Please see that you were right about the ambiguity of my question regarding area surrounded by a circle on the sphere; skipjack, you estimated well with the guess of 10 circles for N=1.

Colorado to scrutinize oil and gas pollution →
1,500 protesters swarm Albany to call for continued fracking ban in N.Y.
by olikellopas Posted on January 10, 2013
While New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) was inside the Empire State Plaza Convention Center yesterday outlining his plan to make New York the "progressive capital of the nation," 1,500 people were outside with a suggestion about one way he can ensure that happens.
For about a year, Cuomo has been weighing whether to lift the state's ban on hydraulic fracturing. Last summer, it seemed that he was close to allowing fracking in certain regions of the state, but instead he postponed the decision and called for research into possible health effects of the practice. (A leaked report suggesting that there were no negative effects has been widely dismissed as insufficient.)
Opponents of fracking took advantage of Cuomo's speech — and its attendant cameras — to ensure that the pressure remains high. From EcoWatch:
More than 1,500 New Yorkers from every corner of the state descended on Albany [Wednesday] to rally against fracking outside of Governor Andrew Cuomo's State of the State address. The group delivered a clear message calling for the governor to reject fracking, implement a statewide ban, and be a leader in clean, renewable energy for New York and the nation. …
"Governor Cuomo, don't do this," said Logan Adsit, a resident of Pharsalia in Chenango County, which is located in the Southern Tier that the Cuomo administration has indicated as a target of fracking. "Don't poison my family. Don't poison anyone's family. This state, which my family has called home for generations, should not become your toxic legacy. That's what I've come here to say today."
Fracking was never expected to be mentioned in Cuomo's speech, since, as an adviser told the Democrat and Chronicle, the issue is currently being reviewed.
Earlier this week, a coalition of environmental groups called on Cuomo to maintain the ban. From the Times Union:
"While we welcome your determination to lead on climate change, we are greatly concerned by indications that you may soon allow high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) in New York," the letter asserted. "A decision to allow HVHF would be a direct contradiction of your promise to lead on climate change. Opening New York's doors to this form of extreme fossil fuel extraction undercuts your pledge to make environmental protection, including initiatives that address climate change, a legislative priority."
The protesters had a point. Cuomo's speech was heavy on climate change and clean energy, and he placed particular emphasis on being a progressive leader. By postponing and isolating the fracking decision, Cuomo has drawn more attention to it and penned himself in. His environmental leadership will now be judged largely on this issue, despite the string of energy and climate goals he outlined yesterday. For a guy who almost certainly wants to solidify Democratic support leading up to 2016, Cuomo has an exposed flank on the issue of fracking.
Fracking opponents clearly know it.

← Are the Apprentice girls growing up?
Gracious in defeat, Laura Moore explains just how valuable she found being on The Apprentice on the pithy follow-up show.
At 22 she made less of her youth than does Stuart Baggs, the now legendary "brand".
But even though she was unsuccessful by not winning, she succeeded in learning a great deal.
The Apprentice is a tough ordeal, but also a way of gaining multi-disciplinary experience under maximum scrutiny, in just a few weeks.
There's sales, marketing, purchasing, negotiation, team work, working with very annoying people, having fun, winning, losing, finance, working with very senior people, to name just a few of the challenges on offer.
For Laura it was obviously a steep learning curve. Some of the contenders have a lot more experience.
Personally I think she leaves centre stage with a very good attitude, and for that reason, and her growing "skill set" I think she will prosper.
Baggs, I vote for Stuart?
Are the Apprentice girls growing up?
What happens when we "lose it"?
So what exactly is Lord Sugar looking for?

Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat (Widescreen Edition) [DVD] NEW!


Since the juvenile court was started more than a hundred years ago, a basic assumption underlying the juvenile court has been that juvenile offenders shouldn't go through the adult criminal courts. The juvenile court was created to handle juvenile offenders on the basis of their youth rather than their crimes. The purpose of juvenile court is treatment and guidance rather than punishment. During the 1980s and 1990s, the public called for getting tough with juveniles and trying them as adults. Many states passed laws making it easier to try certain youthful offenders as adults; some states considered the radical proposal of abolishing juvenile courts.
Supporters of getting rid of juvenile courts center their arguments on the need to punish juvenile criminals and a concern for juveniles' rights.
The juvenile court is founded on false premises because its purpose is to shield youths from the consequences of their own actions.
The juvenile court fails to deter juvenile violence.
The current juvenile crime problem requires that we punish juvenile offenders in order to deter the next generation of juveniles from becoming predators.
Justice demands that juvenile courts be abolished—if juveniles are tried in adult courts, they will be afforded their full array of constitutional rights.
Many experts believe abolishing the juvenile court will only make matters worse.
The premise of the juvenile court is sound—since children have not fully matured, they shouldn't be held to the same standards of accountability as adults.
The purpose of the juvenile court is to treat, not to deter.
Changing the social environment in which juveniles live is a more effective way to reduce juvenile violence than punishing juvenile offenders in adult courts.
While the denial of full constitutional rights for juveniles is sometimes a problem, the juvenile court's mission is benevolence—to serve the best interests of children.
It has been suggested that the entire debate over whether or not to abolish the juvenile court diverts attention away from the most important question confronting the juvenile justice system: How can juvenile delinquency be reduced when neither the present juvenile courts nor adult criminal courts are designed to attack the various environmental factors that are among the causes of juvenile violence?
The initial causes of much juvenile crime are found in the early learning experiences in the family. They involve weak family bonding and ineffective supervision, child abuse and neglect, and inconsistent and harsh discipline. In addition, there are indications that very poor urban communities put youths at greater risk for involvement in violence. Some neighborhoods also provide special opportunities for learning or participating in violence.
The presence of gangs and illegal drug markets provides exposure to violence, negative role models, and possible rewards for youthful involvement in violent criminal activities. Schools also play a part in generating juvenile violence. An important cause of the onset of serious violent behavior is involvement in a delinquent peer group. Alcohol and guns are also implicated in violent behavior by juveniles. In addition, growing up in poverty and unemployment have major effects on the likelihood that a young person will turn to violence during the transition to adulthood.
Make youth access to handguns harder and make guns safer as a way of reducing gun‐related crimes by juveniles.

Film Watch - 304. Short Circuit
Title: Short Circuit Director: John Badham Year: 1986 Run time: 1hr 38m
Suddenly, Johnny Five was available to rent on iTunes in HD, and that was our cue to watch it. I felt like I had seen the film before, but gradually we came to realise that I'd seen the sequel and not the first. I had no idea Steve Guttenberg was in it!
0:36 - Something tells me this won't have aged well at all. It'll still be awesome though. 2:39 - I can't remember the last time I saw wild poppies. 3:45 - It's like Robot Wars but on a massive scale. 10:35 - "Better get number five off that generator…" That's a setup if ever I heard one. 15:32 - Cows! 18:11 - People don't like it when you answer rhetorical questions. 23:36 - That lady has a pet raccoon. Weird. 24:23 - He's that excited about going outside. He must get out as much as Mr C does. 28:01 - "We can get to know each other. Communicate. Input." 34:57 - Jeez, if you learnt about the human race from television these days… 39:31 - "Error." 44:09 - Hanging over the edge of a cliff is not a great defensive position to be in. 46:36 - "I am standing here beside myself." 52:41 - Humming robot is cute. 54:40 - Dancing robot may be cuter. 1:03:06 - I think a pancake making robot would go down well in our household. 1:03:40 - Having said that, the robot cooks like Mr C does. 1:11:26 - The robot's playing baseball. Who's on first? 1:12:53 - He's doing the commentary on his own escape. So cool! 1:20:27 - "Today, Crosby, today." How quickly the robot picks up attitude! 1:26:45 - Robot high five.
I hadn't quite realised the Fisher Stevens controversy going into this and only discovered it when noticing - "Hey, that's the guy from Friends but… he's not Indian." So, there's that aspect of it which is a little disconcerting.
Overall, though, the film is fun, the characters are kooky and the robot is über-cool. It's amazing how quickly they can get you to care about a hunk of tin that was designed as a war robot.

Sound quality is pretty good. I found this while looking for the legendary Nashville concert. Ok, it has one big point in it's favour, Broken Things! but putting that song aside, Paris has a better setlist (imo) and after comparing the two of them, I'm keeping Paris!


I sometimes would think about how life is one long wait which only leads in the one destination or end – death. Pretty grim, right? But there is truth in that. All of us, in varied possible ways, will cease to exist.
Feeling rather uninspired the past week, I reflected again on where I am in my life. I am in a stable job, able to pay our bills and put food on the table. Everything is fine.That is until I recall what I said before – my wish to be able to leave a mark. I am not sure how I am doing in that part.
Everything seems to slow down to a point where I feel like I'm stagnant. Maybe I am always looking for a more obvious development. And with my limitations, I don't think I should expect that on a daily or even a weekly basis.
I was never a patient person. knowing that, I seem to be constantly put into a position that is teaching me that. While it is causing me much distress, I am thankful for that.
So I will continue to wait and hope and pray. And that does not mean I'll just wait idly. The wait is an exercise on perspective. While going through my days, I have to keep mind that is eager for the good things that will come.

Court Rules Northern Ireland's Abortion Restrictions Violate Human Rights Law
A high court judgment in Belfast last week ruled that Northern Ireland's abortion restrictions are a violation of human rights commitments, further increasing the pressure on the territory, which is part of the U.K., to remove its legal protections for the unborn.
Published in Abortion
Once-Catholic Ireland now provides free abortions
At midnight on New Year's Day, the Republic of Ireland's new abortion law was enacted, following a referendum which showed massive support for legalisation. Despite a huge campaign to save the 8th Amendment - which had previously protected Ireland's pre-born babies - and courageous opposition from pro-life politicians, years of poor catechesis coupled with injections of cash from pro-abortion globalists meant that the majority of the Irish people were ready to embrace legal child-killing. Irish doctors are outraged, since they are now obliged to refer for abortions, (and possibly to perform them!) and shockingly, will earn more for aborting babies than for caring for pregnant women throughout their pregnancies.
Irish politician: "Real healthcare does not have a victim"
Ireland's pro-life politicians have been facing ferocious opposition in trying to push through amendments that would mitigate the impact of that country's disastrous new abortion law. The Eighth Amendment - the part of the Irish constitution which had protected pre-born children from abortion - was repealed in September of this year. The Eighth Amendment was replaced by the phrase, "Provision may be made by law for the regulation of termination of pregnancy", allowing abortion on demand in the first trimester, and potentially to full term on certain conditions. Ireland's Lower House has been debating the terms of this change in law.
What Really Happened to Savita?
[Photo credit: IndiaTimes.com. In the wake of the Irish referendum, which has failed to protect human life, abortion advocates are still using tragic hard cases to justify their position. Savita Halappanavar's death was one such case. Dave Pellowe put together this concise summary after his interview with the abortionist, Leah Torres, and it's a useful reference to bookmark.
Irish Officials Linked to Big Pharma and Big Abortion
[It's a sad day for Ireland, whose citizens have voted to repeal the 8th Amendment, that which ensured protection for the preborn. No longer does she "acknowledge the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantee in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right." Pro-life campaigners have been hampered by an extremely pro-abortion press, vast sums of foreign money funding abortion groups and even politicians apparently deliberately misrepresenting Catholic Church teaching.
I Survived an Abortion, Now I'm Fighting to Save the 8th
I remember being a happy child. I had simple joys then. Some toys, some sweets, my playmates, a VHS tape of The Sound of Music, my beloved dog and my doting parents made me feel the luckiest kid on earth. But an experience suddenly burst my happy bubble when I was about nine years old. It was the 16th of January, a big feast in our small town is being celebrated. It was Sto. Nino's fiesta (Feast of the Child Jesus). I remember being glad because there were no classes that day. Therefore I was allowed to watch The Sound of Music even if it wasn't Friday.

Save the 8th! Interview with Richard Casey
By now, many of you will be familiar with the massive Save the 8th! campaign, mounted by Ireland's pro-life community. Abortion is currently illegal in Ireland, except under very few circumstances. On May 25th, a referendum will be held in Ireland to determine whether or not to repeal the constitution's 8th Amendment, adopted in 1983: protection of the unborn child. The mainstream media has, on the whole, supported the pro-abortion side, concentrating on the fact that many Irish women travel to England in order to procure abortions. However, this 'need' to travel simply shows that Irish women have been sold the same lie that is being spread around the world: a mistimed pregnancy will ruin women's lives.

Akerman and National CASA/GAL Association for Children announce 2021 recipient of Academic Excellence Scholarship for foster youth
Akerman LLP, a top 100 U.S. law firm, and the National Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian ad Litem Association for Children (National CASA/GAL Association) today announced Tawanna Brown, of Verona, New Jersey, an incoming freshman at Seton Hall University, as the 2021 recipient of the Akerman Academic Excellence Scholarship.
The Akerman Scholarship, which awards $2,500 a year for up to four years of higher education, is funded through an endowment established in 2015 as part of the firm's historic $1 million pledge to the National CASA/GAL Association. The endowment supports young adults who have spent part of their childhood in the foster care system, by helping minimize the financial burden of higher education. The honorees demonstrate outstanding academic commitment and readiness for success. The scholarship endowment is currently supporting four scholars, contributing $10,000 annually to their educational pursuits.
"Tawanna has faced more obstacles in her 18 years than most people do in their entire lifetime, yet she found the strength to persevere and rise above it," said Beth Zafonte, chair of Akerman's Philanthropic Council. "Tawanna's struggles have motivated her not only to work hard, but also to help others who are currently in similar situations. She is truly an inspiration and Akerman is honored to award her with this scholarship."
"Assisting youth who have experienced foster care as they continue on their path to success is an important initiative of the National CASA/GAL Association. The scholarship provided through this partnership with Akerman is one of the many ways that we are able to offer tangible support to help youth achieve their full potential," said National CASA/GAL Association CEO Tara Lisa Perry. "Tawanna has an incredibly bright future ahead of her, and we are honored to support her in her educational endeavors."
Brown is a steadfast advocate for children in foster care, having entered foster care herself at 12 years old. As such, she is a devout member of the New Jersey Department of Children and Families Youth Council. The council was created to provide children who are currently in or have been in foster care with a voice. On this council, Brown is responsible for curriculum review, webinars, training courses, and the development of new policies, agendas and course programs. Additionally, she participated in the Essex County Prosecutor's Office Summer Internship and the Howard University Crump Summer Law Program, working to get closer to achieving her dream of becoming a lawyer and continuing her advocacy work.
"We are so proud of Tawanna. She is a great example of what belief in oneself and the pursuit of excellence can yield even in the face of adversity," said Marla Higginbotham, executive director of CASA for Children of Essex County.
Studies demonstrate the invaluable benefits a CASA volunteer brings to a child's life. Children with a CASA/GAL advocate are more likely to do better in school. Only 50 percent of youth in foster care earn a high school diploma, compared to 91 percent of all students nationwide. Only 15 percent of foster youth attend postsecondary institutions, with only about three percent completing college due to insufficient support, lack of appropriate guidance, and unmet financial needs. The goal of the Akerman Scholarship is to help these students afford higher learning so that they will be more successful after they age out of foster care and live independently.
About Akerman
Akerman LLP is a top 100 U.S. law firm recognized among the most forward thinking firms in the industry by Financial Times. Its more than 700 lawyers and business professionals collaborate with the world's most successful enterprises and entrepreneurs to navigate change, seize opportunities, and help drive innovation and growth.
About the National CASA/GAL Association for Children
The National Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian ad Litem (CASA/GAL) Association for Children, together with its 950 state and local member programs, supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so that every child who has experienced abuse or neglect in the United States can be safe, have a permanent home and have the opportunity to thrive. National CASA/GAL offers leadership and support to the network of programs and leads its continued growth. CASA/GAL volunteers and staff work every day to help change a child's story.

Q: Are there anyways to speed Greenplum up? I have 3 vms(one master two segment hosts of the opensource version), each has 32 cores 64 threads and the memory of 251G.
There is one big table,which have nearly 70 fields and one hundred million records.
The parts of definition as follows:
with (appendonly=true,compresslevel=5)
distributed by(record_id) partition by range(dt_date)
(partition p201012 start ('2021-01-01'::date) end ('2021-01-31'::date) every ('1 days'::interval))

The culster have 30 primary segments and 30 mirror segments.
Both insertion(<2000 records/s) and selection(about 25s) are too slow,since we have one hundred million records a day and more than one second is not allowed.
So my questions are: is there anyone using Gpdb? Are there anyways to speed it up?
Thank u!

A: My initial thought is that you have way too many primaries/mirrors (30) for that few cpus on the system.   The general rule of thumb is 3-4 cpu/vcpu per segment (i.e., postgres database).  Your system should be reconfigured to only have 2 primaries per host to better utilize the cpu and memory on the hosts; 1 might even be better with that small amount of memory on the segment hosts.
As it stands now, you are swamping the system with too many databases trying to utilize too few system resources.

Shatrughan Sinha will take on Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, a four-term Rajya Sabha member fielded by BJP, in the Patna Sahib seat.
Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, who quit BJP to fight from Patna Sahib on a Congress ticket, Saturday scoffed at the saffron party's claim that the seat has been its stronghold and said he "would have loved" to fight Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the seat.
"Let them (BJP) live in fool's paradise ... Voters of Patna Sahib will teach them a lesson," Sinha, popularly known as 'Bihari Babu', said.
He cited the victories of Congress and RJD nominees in the past from the prestigious Bihar seat, from where he is seeking re-election for the third straight time, to deride BJP's claim.
"There was news in some quarters that Modi himself will enter the fray from Patna Sahib on a second seat in addition to Varansi ... What happened?...I would have loved to take on him on the seat," Sinha, also known as 'Shotgun' told PTI.
Sinha, a Modi baiter, will take on Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, a four-term Rajya Sabha member fielded by BJP, in the Patna Sahib seat. This will be the first time that Prasad will be contesting in a Lok Sabha election. Sinha himself has served two terms in the Rajya Sabha previously and had been a member of the union council of ministers headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Sinha trashed allegations that he has been an absentee in the Patna Sahib consituency and never cared for people who had voted for him. "Go and see my record ... I have spend 106 per cent from my MPLAD fund ... It's available on the net," he said.

Q: How to get the current directory for an nw.js executable Struggling to find the current directory when I create an nw.js executable.
I have created a Mac server application with a mix of html and Javascript and a lot of node.js module usage. I have two xml files that the server accesses and that reside in the same folder as the application.
When I run the application as follows:
./nwjs.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs .
and find the current directory as follows:
var workingFolder = process.cwd();
then my working folder is the one where the application and xml files reside.
However, if I follow the 'package and distribute' guidelines (create a .nw file, name it app.nw, and put in contents/resources), and then run the .app executable, I get the following as the working folder:
/private/var/folders/3x/2hq40kzs59q8gj6yfn4ktj940000gn/T/.io.nwjs.nw.HcwnF2
I assume that the context changed. So I have been looking at alternatives to get the current directory. I tried:
var workingFolder = global.__dirname;
and got the same result. Then:
var workingFolder = process.env.PWD;
and got undefined (although this worked for the 'unpackaged' version)
How do I get the current directory?
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

A: For Windows use: var path = require('path'); path.dirname(process.execPath);
For Mac and Linux use: global.__dirname;

A: Node-Webkit extracts the *.nw file to the temporary directory so that temporary directory is the current working directory. You can use side by side packaging  (Putting the package.json file and nw.exe in same folder without compressing) method to keep the working directory to the folder where nw and package.json file resides. You can use the following to get the current path
var path = require('path');
var nwPath = process.execPath;
var nwDir = path.dirname(nwPath);


During the construction of grey structure, certain MS (mild steel) items are required at various stages e.g. Steel door frames (steel chogath), steel safety grills for window openings, steel stairs, steel main gate etc. Steel door frames and steel main gate are made from steel sheets that are available in different gauges out of which mostly used for these tasks are G14, G16 and G18. Lesser gauge value means heavier & expensive sheet. Other units used in making steel items are Steel Pipes, steel rods and angle iron that are measured in dimensions (width x breadth), diameter and thickness respectively.
Recommended sheets for steel door frames and steel main gate is G16. G14 sheets can also be used for main gates but due to heavier weight, it can cause imbalance in gate with time. Steel chogath can be made in two types of sheets MS(mild steel) sheets and GI(galvanised iron) sheets ("Jisti" in local language). Steel chogath made in GI sheets are a little expensive as compared to the chogaths made in MS sheets because of its corrosion resistant characteristic. Steel chogath should be fixed during brickwork of walls and special care should be taken for level and plumb line before pouring concrete to hold chogaths in walls. Before ordering steel chogath, it should be kept in mind that standard pressed sheets available in market for making steel chogath has a pataam (door stop) of 1.5″ by default that can accommodate 1.5″ thick door only during finishing. If you require a 2″ thick door, your steel chogath should have 2″ thick pataam (door stop).
Safety grills for window openings are made of steel rods both in " ( )½" and "( )3/8 " diameter. Safety grills made in ½" have more strength but come at a higher price as compared to other one. Steel pipes or angle iron are also used in safety grills at borders on four sides to hold the mesh of steel rods together. Dimension of border pipes should be 1" x 1" at least and in case of angle iron it should be 1.5″x1.5″.
Spiral stairs is essential steel item that is required almost in every house these days. Spiral stairs are used for accessing rooftops from rear passages of house. As shown in picture above, it consists of a main centre pillar that should be made of G14 steel sheet in 4" diameter. Hand railing pipe in 2" diameter and steps are made from angle iron and can be 2 to 2.5 feet in width as per desire. Make sure all the steel items are coated with red oxide paint to prevent corrosion. Main centre pillar should be properly grouted with concrete in soil for minimum 2 ft in depth along with steel bar supports and during fixing, special care should be carried out to make sure the centre pillar is in plumb line for full height. A slight mistake can cause whole stair to tilt in any direction. Other than a strong grouted base, supports should also be provide at every 10 ft and centre pillar that is hollow, should be filled with 1:2:4 concrete.

Analysis: Strike on Syrian Base Likely Unrelated To Alleged Douma Gas Attack
The motives behind a suspected Israeli missile attack on a Syrian airbase have more to do with containing Iran than punishing the Syrian government for using chemical weapons, writes journalist Areeb Ullah.
Written by Areeb Ullah Published on  April 9, 2018 Read time Approx. 2 minutes

In the dead of night, as Syrian civilians in Douma reeled from the effects of yet another chemical attack, an assault began on a government airbase just outside of Homs.
Fourteen fighters, including several Iranian troops, were killed in the attack on the Syrian Tiyan facility, also known as T4, on Monday, according to the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Forces from Russia and Iran, which are allies of the Syrian government, as well as personnel from Iranian-backed Hezbollah, are known to have had a presence at the base.
Moscow and Damascus say that Israel carried out the strike, something Israel has yet to say it did, although in the past it has admitted to carrying out attacks inside Syria.
Instead, experts believe that the strike had less to do with events in the outskirts of Damascus and more with Israel's desire to contain Iran. Here are three ideas behind that reasoning:
Leila al-Shami, coauthor of Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War, said that the attack was due to Israel's own internal security considerations rather than the massacre in Douma.
"Most of the time Israel has been involved [in Syria] it has been to do with their security priorities," she said. "Assad being in power has, by and large, been useful for Tel Aviv, as it has been quiet on Israel's border.
"The Israelis have never had an agenda to see the fall of Assad, or support the Syrian people's calls for democracy. But I do believe it is concerned about Syria getting out of control, especially when the Syrian regime is being supported massively by Israel's enemy."
'This Is Nothing New'
In February, Israel said it had launched multiple air strikes against air defenses and Iranian targets inside Syria. Among the targets was the T4 airbase, after it said it had intercepted an Iranian drone on the Syria-Israel border.
A former Israeli security operative who wished to remain anonymous told Middle East Eye (MEE) that a build-up of Iranian troops and weaponry is a "red line" for Israel.
"This airstrike has nothing to do with the chemical attack, but if it is interpreted as such, then fine. Israel will benefit and be seen as the good guy," the operative told MEE.
"Israel has been bombing targets inside Syria throughout the civil war. This is nothing new. This base, in particular, is a hub for the Iranians. And for Israel, any buildup by Iran on its borders is an automatic red line."
The trilateral summit between Iran, Russia and Turkey in Ankara last week also raised the question of Iran possibly gaining further influence in the region.
Mehdi Beyad, a Middle East analyst who focuses on Iranian geopolitical strategy at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, believes the meeting helped solidify Iran's "strategic advantage" in the region.
"It's useful to see the strike in the context of the recent trilateral negotiations," Beyad said.
"Israel's strategic hopes of undermining a regional tilt towards Iran have been continually dashed, from relying on the U.S. to relying on Russia to keep the balance of power in check."
Beyad said that Israel was now trying to address the deterioration of its strategic posture, and the consolidation of Iran's, through these sort of strikes.
"This strike, more than anything, is Israel's way of sending a message to Iran, and crucially, everyone else, that they are adamant to prevent the development of an Iranian military infrastructure in Syria."

Clinical effects of blood transfusion during the immediate postoperative period in cardiac surgery patients
Home > Issue 3 (Volume 8) > Clinical effects of blood transfusion during the immediate postoperative period in cardiac surgery patients
Author: Athina Ntenta, Efrosyni Lazaridou, Evagelia Hatzileonida, Kalliopi Leleki, Maria Sileli, Vasilis Hatzitolias
Posted By : kouf
Introduction: Blood transfusion is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Aim: Our goal was to investigate the association between blood transfusions in the early postoperative period and complications during Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) stay.
Methods: Retrospectively analysis in 874 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, valve surgery or combined procedures. Patients were allocated to two groups according to the presence (Group A) or absence (Group B) of blood transfusion during extracorporeal circulation, surgery and CICU stay. Two hundred thirty four patients with preexisting hepatic or blood diseases, atrial fibrillation, emergent surgery or those received autologous blood transfusions were excluded prior to the study. Morbidity was defined as prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation, mechanical ventilation>7hours, reintubation, use of non-invasive ventilation, postoperative atrial fibrillation and length of hospital stay. Statistical analysis was carried out using Chi-square, Student's t-test, Relative Risk (RR) and logistic regression with statistical significance set at p<0.05.
Results: In the final analysis 640 patients were included. From these, 486 patients received blood transfusion (Group A) while 154 patients were allocated to Group B. Patients in Group A were older (67 vs 62, p<0.01) and characterized by higher Euroscore I (4.9 vs 2.91, p<0.01). Patients receiving blood transfusion differed significantly in terms of prolonged mechanical ventilation (p=0.035), mechanical ventilation >7 hours (p<0.01), need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation (p=0.025) and length of hospital stay (p<0.01). No significant difference was found regarding postoperative atrial fibrillation and reintubation rate. Multivariate logistic regression indicates blood transfusion as an independent predictive factor for hospital stay over 5 days (p=0.03) and mechanical ventilation > 7 hours (p<0.01).
Conclusions: Blood transfusions seem to associate with certain complications in cardiac surgery patients.
Keywords: CABG, blood transfusion, morbidity, valve surgery.

Xiaomi's Mi 11 Series Will Be One of the First to Adopt the Snapdragon 888 5G Chipset
Qualcomm just unveiled the Snapdragon 888 5G mobile platform for flagship phones that arrive next year. And just like last year, Xiaomi has confirmed today that its Mi 11 series will be one of the premium flagship series to be powered by this chipset.
The Mi 11 series will be a successor to the Mi 10 and Mi 10T series, which were both powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset. Not only Xiaomi's Mi flagships but Redmi's premium offerings (such as Redmi K30 Pro) are now also powered by the top-of-the-line Snapdragon chipsets.
"I'm glad that our new flagship smartphone Mi 11 will be one of the first devices with Snapdragon 888. This is another cutting-edge product from us and will be loaded with various hardcore technologies," said Lei Jun, Founder, chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi.
Xiaomi is one of the many strategic OEM partners for Qualcomm, alongside Lenovo, LG, Motorola, Realme, OnePlus, and others. No other details for the upcoming Mi 11 series were doled out during the presentation. But, we do know a few things, thanks to some recent leaks.
What can we expect from the Mi 11 series you ask? Since it will be powered by the new Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, you will see unique camera and gaming advancements. It might feature a QHD+ display along with MEMC, SDR-to-HDR tone mapping, and AI upscaling support. It will also be interesting to see whether Xiaomi will equip its long-rumored foldable phone (that will possibly arrive with the Mi Mix branding) with the Snapdragon 888 chipset.
As far as rumors go, Xiaomi will unveil the Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro next month, i.e early January. That's a whole month earlier than the usual February launch schedule for the company's flagship lineup. We will share more details on the Mi 11 lineup as and when they pour in. So, stay tuned for more information.

Interview: The Price Paid in Kigali to Keep the City's Image Pristine
Birgit Schwarz
Communications Deputy Director, Europe and Africa
Gikondo Transit Center, April 2015. © 2015 Human Rights Watch.
Rwanda's capital, Kigali, stands out as a safe and tidy city. Keeping Kigali clean, however, comes at a high price for those who can least afford to pay it – the city's homeless, its street hawkers, and others living on society's edge. Rounded up on a regular basis, these "undesirables" are locked away in Rwanda's Gikondo Transit Center, where several hundred people may share a room in cramped conditions, supplies of food and water are insufficient, and certain detainees called "counselors" beat other detainees with wooden sticks. A Human Rights Watch researcher speaks with Birgit Schwarz about the new report, 'Why Not Call This Place a Prison?', and the realities in Gikondo Transit Center.
Who are the people held at the center and why were they detained?
"Why Not Call This Place a Prison?"
Unlawful Detention and Ill-Treatment in Rwanda's Gikondo Transit Center
The people detained at Gikondo are among the poorest in the capital. They include street hawkers, homeless people, sex workers, beggars, and other vulnerable people from the margins of society -- people who are seen as tarnishing Rwanda's image as a safe and progressive country. They are arbitrarily rounded up by the police on the streets of Kigali. Gikondo is where people often go to look for a relative or friend who has gone missing. Thousands of people have passed through the center over the past 10 years.
In what way and how often do these round-ups happen?
The round-ups happen arbitrarily, without arrest warrants or any other legal procedures. One woman told us she was arrested on her way to the market and accused of being a prostitute. Many women, especially street vendors, are arrested with their young children. The round-ups come in waves, a former detainee told us. At times nobody is arrested for a whole week and then all of a sudden, there can be round-ups every day. Sometimes as many as 70 people are arrested at the same time, put on trucks and taken to Gikondo.
On what legal grounds are sex workers and homeless people arrested? Are they committing an offense according to Rwandan law?
Sex work and vagrancy are illegal in Rwanda. Human Rights Watch believes that criminalization of sex work is harmful to sex workers, who are overwhelmingly women, and exposes them to enhanced risk of harm, exploitation and violations of their rights. A wider concern here is that due process is not being followed. The arrests are arbitrary, there are no processes in place to regulate arrests, detention, or release. None of the former detainees we had spoken to had been charged or brought before a court. There is not even a legal framework that governs Gikondo, as the minister of justice admitted to us in a letter last year.
In what conditions are these people held?
The center consists of a large warehouse with four rooms built around a courtyard. Former detainees compared its layout to "airplane hangars, big and long." Several hundred detainees can be made to share one of these rooms; sometimes they do not even have enough space to lie down. Detainees have different names to describe these rooms. They often refer to the women's room as the room for prostitutes or sex workers, even though many of the women were arrested for other alleged offenses. Another room, for men accused of minor offenses, is commonly called the room for "men who stole and who continue to deny it."
The standard food ration consists of a cup of boiled maize, sometimes mixed with beans, once a day. Water is only provided sporadically. Medical care is erratic. Hygiene and sanitary conditions are very bad. Mothers with young children are not provided with milk or baby food. The kids are given porridge once a day mixed with water. When there is no porridge, they are given the water that was used to cook the beans.
Detainees are not allowed to contact relatives, friends or lawyers to inform them that they are held at the center, and they cannot receive visits.
Detainees are beaten on a regular basis. Most of the beatings are carried out by other detainees, known as "counselors," whom the police have put in charge of the center's internal security. They carry wooden sticks of which they make ample use any time a detainee breaks trivial rules, such as stepping out of the toilet line or talking too loudly. The first beatings usually occur upon arrival to extort "candle money" – money to avoid the beatings. Those who cannot afford to pay, get the stick.
The government claims Gikondo is a rehabilitation center. Why do you call it a detention center?
Rehabilitation implies some sort of process geared toward a positive outcome and reintegration into society. Yet every former detainee we spoke to testified that the period they spent in Gikondo had made their life more difficult. Some had undergone extreme suffering there, as a result of ill-treatment and the deplorable conditions. None of the former detainees we spoke to had gone through any form of rehabilitation or other activities at Gikondo, or received any support or assistance.
Once released, some former detainees, especially sex workers and street vendors, simply went back to the work that had led to their arrest in the first place, for lack of alternatives. As a result, many were then re-arrested and sent back to Gikondo, not only once, but several times. Some of those we spoke to had lost count of the number of times they had been taken there.
Who decides when a detainee is to be released?
Decisions on releases are as arbitrary as decisions on arrests. People can be detained in Gikondo for periods ranging from a few days to several months. Sometimes the guards will decide that a detainee has spent enough time at the center and they'll simply release them. One woman told us she was released when her 7-month-old son got sick and could not eat anymore. The easiest way to get out is to pay the police. Corruption is common in Gikondo.
What was the most shocking story you came across?
Earlier this year, a woman whom our researcher had already interviewed several times came to see us and broke down crying. She was a street hawker, selling clothing and belts. This time around she had been detained with her small child and, too destitute to pay for "candle money," was beaten by the "counselors." "They beat us like cows," she said. The place made her feel less than human. "You know, we have no one else to go to," she told us. "Are you going to help us close this place?"
What was the hardest part of this research?
The hardest part was probably trying to reassure the victims that we were going to guard their confidentiality, not reveal their identity, and persuade them that they could speak to us freely. Although they were fearful, many were adamant that the truth about Gikondo be told. "We live in fear of this place," they'd say. "Do what you can to close this place."
How did you find out about the center?
We've known about it for at least 10 years, since 2005. In 2006, we already published a report on children (particularly street children) who were detained there. It was only in August 2014 that the Rwandan authorities decided to stop sending children to Gikondo.
What do you want the Rwandan government to do about the situation?
Gikondo should be closed immediately. If the Rwandan police have grounds for believing any of the detainees should be charged with a legitimate criminal offense, those people should be transferred to an official normal detention center, brought before a court, and put through the correct process. The Rwandan police should stop rounding up people who are vulnerable and marginalized, and who live on the parameters of the economy and society. Their lives are already difficult enough as it is.

Your origins are as a live act, why did you make the transition to producing and releasing music?
It was a natural process that we think any band goes through. If you do not start producing and releasing your music, it gets really hard for people to get to know you. You got to play by the rules to some extent.
Does what you do live differ from the music you produce?
Yes and no. Our approach to producing is very similar to our approach to playing live.
However, when we play live, we simplify the tracks to their minimal expression and leave lots of room for improvisation. In the end we are playing our tracks, but they are more like live remixes than exact renditions. Every show gets it's own twist.
For anyone who hasn't heard your music how would describe your sound?
First and foremost it's techno, but we go all over the place, call it eclectic techno if you will. There are touches of house, dub, electro, acid… You can hear jazz, rap and latin influences too. Texture wise, warm and fat. We are gear junkies and you can definitely hear that.
Does being married help when it comes to working on music together?
It doesn't hurt, that's for sure. Fun fact, LN is inscribed inside our wedding rings.
You have traveled a lot with your music, can you tell us about your best crowd so far?
SUNJAM!!! It's an amazing 24 hour party in the middle of the Caribbean on Water Cay, a small key off of the island Utila in Honduras. That crowd has the most vibrant energy we've ever felt. The location definitely ads to the magic. Best party ever!
Do you have a favourite venue/ event you like playing at?
It's not any easy choice, but we are going to have to go with O'Portiño, an underground venue in Galicia, Spain. It's a beautiful little bar and restaurant next to the sea by day, club and afterhours by night and the early am hours. Concha, the owner, is one of the coolest ladies on the planet and she not only throws a mean party, but is a fabulous cook. Galicia, calidade!
What have been your key inspirations for this L.P?We draw inspiration from every day life and the world around us. We started the album in our old home in Spain and then moved to the US halfway through its completion, so that definitely made in impact too. Playing with the names of the computer keys, the title, Escape Control, refers to the place technology has in our lives today and the side effects of such an intimate relationship.
Do you have a favourite track from your new L.P?
Hard to choose a favorite, their our children. Right now at this very moment I (S5k) would say Español is my fave, Martin hates them all.

ELDER PATRIOT – There is a lot going on that the corporate-owned media is deliberately ignoring. When all of the facts are laid bare, a very real possibility arises that President Obama may be planning to start WW III by pre-emptively striking Russia on multiple fronts rather than allow Donald Trump to become president.
Here are the facts. Once you consider them you can connect the dots and come to your own conclusion.
Despite not having a single shred of evidence Hillary Clinton is blaming Russian hackers for the Wikileaks release of thousands of damning emails that, if they were the focus of the mainstream media would end her campaign.
On the campaign trail Mrs. Clinton has threatened to go to war with any country that is caught hacking official U.S. government computers.
Along with president Obama she has consistently claimed that Vladimir Putin is trying to influence our elections.
The Russian economy is dependent on access to the European oil market.
Clinton donor George Soros started a coup in the Ukraine with the intention of blocking the flow of Russian oil to the European market.
The Saudi's want access to the European oil market and want to build a pipeline through Syria in order to open the most efficient channel of delivery possible.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar funded and armed ISIS to overthrow the Assad regime to put an end to Syrian resistance to the Saudi pipeline.
Mrs. Clinton, through the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative has accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from the Saudis. They are reported to be funding as much as 20% of Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign.
Mrs. Clinton's minions consistently remind donors that she "always remembers her friends," especially when their "display of friendship" is big.
Hillary Clinton is in danger of losing this election. According to a Rasmussen poll released yesterday, Trump weathered the Clinton campaign's October surprise in fine shape. He took their best shot and still has a two-point lead.
Sooner or later the "Friends of Hillary," aka the mainstream media, will have to begin reporting on the revelations coming from Wikileaks' daily release of Mrs. Clinton's emails that find each successive batch more damning than the prior ones.
NBC News, that has become the mouthpiece for both the Obama White House and the Clinton campaign, reported that the CIA is prepping to conduct cyber attacks against Russia's infrastructure.
The CIA has long been the military arm of America's elites looking for the next resource-rich nation to overthrow the leadership of and to then take control of so that access to stealing those resources is not interfered with.
Obama ordered our military to enforce a no-fly zone in Syria. Russian fighter planes are operating there at the behest of the Syrian government so that the threat to the Syrian government from ISIS can be defeated. By striking either Russian or Syrian fighter planes the United States will become, in essence, ISIS' airforce.
Our generals demanded a declaration of war from congress before entering into the Syrian theater and "starting WW III" their words not this author's.
Syrias hold no strategic importance to America.
It's ludicrous to believe that we would go to war over unsubstantiated claims of Russian hacking that everyone knows has been going on since the Internet was first invented. We do the same to them. Everyone spies on everyone, including allies. While everyone knows it goes on that was one of the revelations that came from the Snowden releases. Frankly it would be a dereliction of duty not to.
Perhaps even more incredible would be going to war to defend ISIS. Obama knows all of this but everything he has done to bring the United States to the brink of subservience to global governance is not completed. He needs Hillary Clinton to succeed him as president to finish his work but the chances of that happening are shrinking.
Obama and Clinton were the architects of the mess in Syria that starting a nuclear war with Russia cannot fix it and it's doubtful the president even cares about changing things in Syria at this point.
More likely Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson's federalizing of the voting process, under the pretense of protecting our strategic infrastructure, is being conducted to accomplish that for Mrs. Clinton.
Examination of everything we know at this point leads to the conclusion that the flow of Saudi money to advance the progressive's 60-year assault on Western values must protected as well as the increasingly dangerous influence Obama has given them in shaping U.S. foreign policy within our government. And, that can only be protected if Mrs. Clinton becomes our next president or Barack Obama doesn't vacate the office.
Obama has proven to be a weak and ineffective Commander in Chief but to protect his legacy and his plan of bringing America to heel, if would be foolish to put starting WW III beyond his consideration, especially with Hillary coaxing him on.
"It is now Hillary Clinton that wants to start an air war with Russia over Syria by calling for a no fly zone.
"We have 2000 nuclear missiles on hair trigger alert. Former Russian General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev (who along with Ronald Reagan famously brokered a peaceful resolution to Soviet-American tensions) is saying we are closer to a nuclear war than we have ever been.
"Under Hillary Clinton, we could slide into nuclear war very quickly from her declared policy in Syria.
Committing us to war greatly increases the possibility of extending Obama's time in office or of Hillary winning the presidency through a fixed election that the corporate-owned media will ignore by choosing instead to report exclusively on the war as it escalates.
And, even if Trump were to win, it commits us to doing the dirty work for the Saudis for the foreseeable future.
There is another angle to consider. England, Russia, and the United States are three countries that appear to value their independence more than they do a place in a New World Order. A nuclear war with Russia could weaken both countries so severely that they no longer are able to offer resistance to the forces of globalism.
Do not underestimate the diabolical nature of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Walkers has become the first food company to retain its Carbon Reduction label, after reducing its carbon footprint by 7%. The snacks brand was also the first to display the Carbon Trust's Carbon Reduction Label in March 2007 when it committed to cut its carbon footprint by 3% by 2009. Companies have to reapply for the label after two years.
Walkers has introduced a number of energy-saving schemes which helped save 4,800 tonnes of CO2 emissions including: new high efficiency gas burners and low energy lighting; light-weighting packaging; switching to 100% British potatoes to lower food miles; and running delivery trucks on biodiesel containing 5% used cooking oil. This has saved Walkers more than £400,000 over the past two years, which it reinvested in future energy-saving projects. Last year, Mey Selections also signed up to pilot the scheme and now the Highlands-based producer, which makes oatcakes and shortcake, is working to reduce its carbon footprint. Initially, Mey Selections' Luxury All Butter Shortbread, Heather Honey and Blossom Honey will feature the new label on-pack.
