If you are a fan of Rajinikanth, then you are up for a treat. Just like you, millions of other fans are waiting for Rajni's next big movie – Kaala. Produced by Dhanush and directed by Pa. Ranjith, Kaala movie is expected to be one of the biggest Tamil films of 2018. Amidst all the controversies related to Kaala, the film is set for a 7th June release. From Kaala movie songs to Kaala trailer – here's everything we know so far about the upcoming Tamil flick.
Kaala is a Tamil movie, starring Rajinikanth in a lead role. The movie is produced by Dhanush. It has been written and directed by Pa. Ranjith. The film is all set to be released on 7th June 2018 in four languages – Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi. Earlier, it was set for an April release. Though, due to Tamil Nadu's Kaveri river water sharing controversy, the movie was rescheduled for a June release.
Kaala movie is produced under the banner of Wunderbar Films. The first Kaala teaser was released on 1st March 2018. The Kaala teaser only gave us a brief look of the overall tone of the movie.
Though, shortly after the release of the teaser, we got to know more about Kaala release date and cast. Here is a list of the major Kaala movie cast and crew.
Needless to say, Rajinikanth would be playing the role of the protagonist while Eswari Rao would be the romantic lead. Huma Qureshi will portray the role of Kaala's ex-girlfriend. We are yet to know more about other characters.
As of now, it is confirmed that the official Kaala release date would be 7th June 2018. It will be released in four different languages nationwide. The director, Pa. Ranjith has already worked with Rajinikanth before in Kabali. Since the movie was a commercial blockbuster, it was announced in 2016 that the duo is working on another huge project. The production started in May 2017. It was first assumed that Kaala film will be a biopic of Haji Mastan.
Later that year, Sundar Mishra (the foster son of Haji Mastan) released an open letter to the makers of Kaala. The letter threatened the makers that Haji should not be portrayed in a negative image. Afterward, Ranjith announced that the movie is not based on Haji Mastan (the gangster) in any way and is purely a work of fiction. Soon after, the first Kaala trailer was also released.
While the exact story of the Kaala movie is not out, we do know certain inside details. It would be the story of a child who escapes to Mumbai from the city of Tirunelveli. As he moved to the city of dreams, he took an unforgettable path that made him a powerful don. Residing in the Dharavi slums of Mumbai, he now has to face the toughest obstacle while distinguishing between what's right and wrong.
According to the makers of the movie, the name Kaala is used to depict Lord Yama from the Hindu mythology. He is the god of death, which turned out to be an apt name for the character.
The Kaala film is not only amazing to look at, but has a handpicked collection of various songs as well. One of the best things about Kaala movie is that the soundtracks are released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Though, the major soundtracks are in Tamil. The music of the entire album is given by Santhosh Narayanan. Semma Weightu is the first single from the album, which is already trending nationwide for its upbeat tune.
Besides that, there are some other Kaala movie songs as well that are trending. Some of them are Thanga Sela, Theruvilakku, and Kannamma. You can listen to the entire Kaala jukebox here.

10 popular brands on Shopify
Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform trusted by over 1.75 million merchants worldwide. From small businesses to large enterprises, Shopify has helped businesses of all sizes build and grow their online presence. In this blog, we'll take a look at 10 well-known brands that have been built using Shopify and Shopify Plus. From fashion and beauty to food and merchandising, these brands demonstrate the versatility and power of the Shopify platform. If you're considering building an online store, be sure to check out these success stories for inspiration and ideas.
1. Gymshark
Ben Francis, a student, founded Gymshark in 2012. In the decade since then, the fitness apparel company has achieved an incredible milestone - their valuation has risen to $1.4 billion, making them one of the few UK companies to reach this success. Initially, Gymshark utilized Magento to power their online store. However, after experiencing a 10-hour outage on Black Friday, they switched to Shopify Plus. Since then, they have not regretted this decision.
2. Kylie Cosmetics
Kylie Cosmetics is a makeup and skincare brand founded by Kylie Jenner, a media personality and entrepreneur. The brand is known for its wide range of cosmetics products, including lip kits, eyeshadow palettes, and skincare products.
In August 2016, Kylie Cosmetics made history with one of the most successful ecommerce product launches ever, handling over 200,000 visitors to their online store in a single day. To ensure that such campaigns go off without a hitch, a powerful technical infrastructure, such as that provided by Shopify Plus, is essential.
3. Heinz
Heinz is one of the biggest companies that use Shopify. When the pandemic affected the world, they needed a way to deliver their food to people who were unable to shop at physical stores due to lockdown. With Shopify Plus, Heinz launched their direct-to-consumer site within a week, showcasing the platform's ability to help a company respond to changing circumstances swiftly. In 2020, KHC reported net sales of $26 billion, and the stock has risen 44.6% in the last year.
4. Redbull
Red Bull, the global energy drinks brand, is taking advantage of Shopify Plus to power their US online merchandise store. Shoppers can visit the store and purchase Red Bull branded merch while experiencing the ultimate Shopify experience. This enterprise platform, known for its speed and energy, is the perfect fit for the food and beverage company as it helps to supercharge their ecommerce solutions and boost their online sales.
The United Kingdom's national broadcaster, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), is based at Broadcasting House in London. To power their US and Canadian merchandise stores, the BBC opted for Shopify Plus as a replacement for their old Magento platform. This world-renowned organization serves as a prime example of the clout Shopify has achieved with large companies when it comes to selecting an ecommerce platform.
Victoria Beckham is another successful example of a business leveraging the Shopify Plus platform. Her fashion label, established in 2008, has become a multi-channel company offering its products online. By using dynamic visuals such as videos and images, the brand has managed to enhance customer engagement and has even won several awards, including Best Designer Brand and Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. Just like David, Victoria Beckham is making the most of the online shopping experience.
7. Skims
Kim Kardashian is a media personality and entrepreneur who has launched a number of successful brands, including a shapewear line. Just like her sisters, Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian, the shapewear brand is powered by Shopify Plus. Shopify Plus is known for its wide range of functionalities and customizable options, which allow brands like Kim Kardashian's shapewear line to create a unique and personalized online shopping experience for their customers.
Are you curious about what Netflix is doing on Shopify? Well, it turns out that streaming services like Netflix are now getting involved in ecommerce. Netflix.shop offers limited edition apparel and products related to some of its most popular series, such as Stranger Things, L a Casa de Papel and The Witcher. These items are perfect for dedicated fans, as they are only available in limited runs.
Netflix is also partnering with up-and-coming designers to create new collections. The website went live in June 2021, and more stylish merchandise is expected to be released.
9. Supreme
It was recently announced that Supreme, a popular skate and clothing brand, has switched its online store to Shopify's e-commerce platform. The move is intended to improve bot prevention on the site.
10. Polaroid
Despite the rise of digital photography, Polaroid has managed to remain successful. The company has invested in new products and their online presence by using the e-commerce platform Shopify Plus. These efforts in technology and innovation have helped them continue to thrive in recent years.

Antegrade papillary balloon dilation for extrahepatic bile duct stone clearance: lessons learned from treating 300 patients.
Szulman C1, Giménez M, Sierre S.
Department of Interventional Radiology, Sanatorio Nuestra Señora del Rosario, San Salvador de Jujuy, Jujuy, Argentina.
To report the authors' experience with percutaneous papillary balloon dilation for extrahepatic bile duct stone clearance to the duodenum in 300 patients.
During a 16-year period, 300 patients with extrahepatic bile duct stones who underwent papillary balloon dilation were retrospectively evaluated. Two hundred eighty-six patients with retained extrahepatic bile duct stones were treated through a postoperative drain placed during cholecystectomy; 245 patients were treated through a T-tube route and 41 through a transcystic approach. In the remaining 14 patients, the procedure was performed through a newly created percutaneous transhepatic route. Success rates, technical features, reasons for failure, and complications were evaluated.
Biliary duct stone removal after papillary dilation was successful in 288 patients (96%). In 244 patients, the procedure was successfully completed on the first attempt. Forty-three patients needed two sessions, and in one patient it took three sessions. Stone diameters ranged from 4 mm to 18 mm (mean, 8 mm). Two hundred fourteen patients had four or fewer stones (mean, 2.3), and 86 patients had more than four (mean, 8.8; range, 5-25). Two patients required surgical intervention after loss of transcystic drainage, with subsequent development of peritonitis. During the follow-up period (mean, 26.6 months), no clinical or laboratory abnormalities were observed.
Percutaneous antegrade papillary balloon dilation and stone clearance is a safe and effective tool in removing common bile duct stones. Some technical issues should be considered to achieve complete stone removal while minimizing the incidence of complications.

What it takes to build an army of brand advocates
March 13, 2015 by Sarah Shearman
Virgin America's Abby Lunardini and World Wildlife Fund's Terry Macko spoke at SXSW Interactive about building brand loyalty.
AUSTIN: Brands need to engage with consumers intimately, rather than shouting at them, if they want to build an army of brand advocates, according to Terry Macko, SVP of marketing and communications for World Wildlife Fund.
Speaking on a panel at SXSW Interactive on Friday about the power of brand advocacy, Macko said consumers, rather than brands, should be the ones "shouting back at us and telling their stories."
The panel, which included Abby Lunardini, VP of brand marketing and communications at Virgin America, and Amanda Levy, VP of business development at Change.org, said brands are employing the tactics of social movements to build brand loyalty.
"In the past, brands always had big microphones, and we used to be a recipient of their messages," said Levy. "That has completely flopped on its head."
"Most people want to relate to a brand, engage with a brand, and most important, participate with the future of a brand they love," she continued.
According to Levy, only 20% of companies engage customers in their marketing efforts.
"We can't afford to be in that 80% anymore. Somehow we have to identify rescues, create the systems, and operationalize how we listen to and engage our customers as part of the conversation," she said.
Lunardini explained how Virgin America, which is a challenger brand with a marketing budget about a fifth of the size of its competitors in the US, leveraged an army of advocates to take on a legal challenge — creating a flight route to Dallas.
Virgin America did this by engaging with its frequent flyers, fans on social, and Change.org, creating a movement in the city and throwing parties for supporters (during which Virgin founder Richard Branson did his first stage dive). The airline even started marketing fares from Dallas before it had clearance to do so.
Brands must act fast and take risks, Lunardini said.
"Our competitors in Dallas [American Airlines and US Airways] could have crushed us in numbers, but they were too slow," she added.

Home International CIA: China is waging a 'quiet kind of cold war' against US
CIA: China is waging a 'quiet kind of cold war' against US
ASPEN (US), July 21: China is waging a "quiet kind of cold war" against the United States, using all its resources to try to replace America as the leading power in the world, a top CIA expert on Asia has said.
Beijing doesn't want to go to war, he said, but the current communist government, under President Xi Jingping, is subtly working on multiple fronts to undermine the US in ways that are different than the more well-publicized activities being employed by Russia.
"I would argue … That what they're waging against us is fundamentally a cold war — a cold war not like we saw during THE Cold War (between the US and the Soviet Union) but a cold war by definition," Michael Collins, deputy assistant director of the CIA's East Asia mission centre, said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado yesterday.
Rising US-China tension goes beyond the trade dispute playing out in a tariff tit-for-tat between the two nations.
There is concern over China's pervasive efforts to steal business secrets and details about high-tech research being conducted in the US. The Chinese military is expanding and being modernised and the US, as well as other nations, have complained about China's construction of military outposts on islands in the South China Sea.
"I would argue that it's the Crimea of the East," Collins said, referring to Russia's brash annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, which was condemned throughout the West.
Collins' comments track warnings about China's rising influence issued by others who spoke earlier this week at the security conference. The alarm bells come at a time when Washington needs China's help in ending its nuclear standoff with North Korea.
On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said China, from a counterintelligence perspective, represents the broadest and most significant threat America faces. He said the FBI has economic espionage investigations in all 50 states that can be traced back to China.
"The volume of it. The pervasiveness of it. The significance of it is something that I think this country cannot underestimate," Wray said.
National Intelligence Director Dan Coats also warned of rising Chinese aggression. In particular, he said, the US must stand strong against China's effort to steal business secrets and academic research.
Susan Thornton, acting assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, said increasing the public's awareness about the activities of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese students or groups at US universities could be one way to help mitigate potential damage.
"China is not just a footnote to what we're dealing with with Russia," Thornton said.
Marcel Lettre, former undersecretary of defense for intelligence, said China has the second-largest defence budget in the world, the largest standing army of ground forces, the third-largest air force and a navy of 300 ships and more than 60 submarines.
"All of this is in the process of being modernized and upgraded," said Lettre, who sat on a panel with Collins and Thornton.
He said China also is pursuing advances in cyber, artificial intelligence, engineering and technology, counter-space, anti-satellite capabilities and hypersonic glide weapons. Army Lt Gen Robert Ashley, head of the Defence Intelligence Agency, told a congressional committee earlier this year that China is developing long-range cruise missiles — some capable of reaching supersonic speeds.
"The Pentagon has noted that the Chinese have already pursued a test program that has had 20 times more tests than the US has," Lettre said.
Franklin Miller, former senior director for defense policy and arms control at the National Security Council, said China's weapons developments are emphasising the need to have a dialogue with Beijing.
"We need to try to engage," Miller said. "My expectations for successful engagement are medium-low, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try." (AGENCIES)

This project goes beyond the techniques introduced in Handmade Paper from Recycled Scraps and shows you how to use paper plying to create decorative effects on your handmade paper. Paper plying is the technique of making paper with two or more layers. The resulting two-sided paper can be used in all of your paper crafts. You can even create paper sculptures by making 2-ply paper with embedded wire.
Before you start making paper, you will need to prepare your equipment and work area. Review the list above, and make sure you have everything needed to make paper. Follow the instructions in Handmade Paper from Recycled Scraps for setup and paper/pulp preparation. To make 2-ply paper, mix pulp slurries in two tubs—one tub with white and the other tub with another color.
Tip: If you have some dark scraps of paper, just a few pieces need to be added to a white slurry to make a nice pastel.
A 2-ply sheet of paper with different colored sides is easy to make. First make and couch a base sheet in white, then make a sheet in another color and couch on top of the base sheet. Follow the instructions in Handmade Paper from Recycled Scraps for making paper, couching sheets, and drying.
Plying can be used to make a sheet of paper with a top, side or bottom border in a different color. First make and couch a base sheet in white. Dip part of the mold into another color—just 1" or 2" (2 to 4 cm) of the top or side or maybe a corner. Couch on top of the base sheet. Follow the instructions in Handmade Paper from Recycled Scraps for making paper, couching sheets, and drying.
Embedding a wire between two paper plies facilitates paper sculpting. Take four or five 6" to 8" (15 to 20 cm) pieces of light gauge wire and bend them into flower petal shapes. Press the wire loops with a heavy book so that they are flat.
Make and couch a base sheet of paper. Lay the wires on the base sheet with the ends extending beyond the edge of the sheet. Leave at least ¼" (.5 cm) between the wires. Couch another sheet on top of the wires and base sheet. Follow the instructions in Handmade Paper from Recycled Scraps for making paper, couching sheets, and drying.
After the paper is dry, cut out the individual petals. Shape the petals and join them together with another wire to make a flower. The possibilities with this technique are limitless!
That's it! Now experiment some more with paper plying!
Tip: Three-dimensional flowers and paper sculptures are easy to create from 2-ply paper with embedded wire.
Tip: Make a Double-sided Paper Window Card using 2-ply handmade paper. See the tip in the tutorial for making a peephole card.
This printable pattern includes envelope templates for gift enclosure cards in three sizes: 2¼", 2½" and 2¾". See the Mini-Envelope Pattern webpage for more details on making the card and envelope.
Tip: Make gift enclosure cards and matching envelopes from handmade paper with a contrasting border, and beautiful Square Petal Envelopes are an excellent use of 2-ply paper.

NEW ORLEANS – Worried crew members on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ship saw the boat last week.
It was a 30-foot sailboat in choppy water in the Gulf of Mexico, about 80 miles south of Cape San Blas, Florida. The sailboat, named "My Time," appeared to have operational electronics and its main sail was neatly stowed. But there didn't seem to be anyone on board.
The NOAA crew sent radio calls and even blasted their ship's horn, but got no response. That's when they alerted the Coast Guard in Mobile.
For two days, the Coast Guard tried to get a good look at the sailboat but bad weather put the investigation on hold, while the Coast Guard appealed for information from the public.
Monday (Nov.19), the Coast Guard reported that the crew on one of its helicopters had finally spotted an unidentified man at the "My Time" helm.
Did the sailor know that other mariners in the Gulf believed that his boat was abandoned and adrift?
Coast Guard Public Affairs Specialist Lexie Preston couldn't say. She said the "My Time" never did respond to the Coast Guard's radio calls.
The chopper crew "saw a friendly wave," says Preston, and that was it.

Body Language Analysis No. 4096: President Trump Refutes Florida Congresswoman Frederica Wilson's Account Of Call To Soldier's Widow - Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence (VIDEO, PHOTOS)
On 4 October 2017, in Niger - near the border of Mali, four American and five Nigerian soldiers were killed by approximately 50 militant extremists with possible links to ISIS. Several soldiers were also injured.
Green Beret Sgt. La David Johnson was one of the American soldiers who was killed along with Staff Sgt. Bryan Black, Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Johnson, and Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright.
On Tuesday, President Trump called Sgt. Johnson's widow, Myeshia. She was in a car with Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (D - FL) and another family member who raised Sgt. Johnson - Ms. Cowanda Jones-Johnson. The call was taken on speaker-phone. According to Representative Wilson, the President said, "Well, I guess he knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt." Ms. Jones-Johnson agreed with Rep. Wilson's recounting, saying "President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband."
This morning in the White House, President Trump was asked about the phone call (see the video above). What follows is a partial nonverbal analysis of the President's reaction.
JOURNALIST: Mr. President, what did you say to Sargent Johnson's widow on the phone yesterday?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Didn't say what that congresswoman said - didn't say it at all. She knows it, and sh- now -- is not saying it. I did not say what she said - and - ah, I'd like her to make the statement again because I did not say what she said. I had a very nice conversation, with thee [sic] - woman, with the wife - who is - sounded like a lovely woman. Did not say what the congresswoman said, and - most people aren't too surprised to hear that.
JOURNALIST: What is the Proof Mr. President?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Ah, let, let her make her statement again and then you'll find out.
JOURNALIST: She is saying that she - that you said this
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Okay, let her make her statement again, and then you'll find out.
This image was captured during 0:00 and is a variation of a Tight Tongue Jut - indicating Disdain, Disgust, and Repulsive feelings.
A second later, during 0:01, President Trump displays Disgust.
This "Tongue in Cheek" display during 0:03 indicates the thought-emotions of "I Just Won". It's helpful to think of this as a nonverbal form of Smugness.
Most notably, President Trump kept his arms folded during this entire portion of the meeting. It's very rare for any head of state to fold their arms during an official appearance - perhaps in their office, in private, etc., - but not during a speech, press conference, TV, etc. The only other US President who has done so was Richard Nixon - during his infamous "I am not a crook" press conference - on 17 November 1973, about 9 months prior to his resignation.
While not common for him, the President has been adopting this nonverbal configuration with increasing frequency in the last several months.
It's important to make another distinction - for not all crossed-arms are the same. Notice how tightly-held Donald Trump's upper arms are - positioned close to his torso. Also, crucially, his hands are hidden. This is significant for emotions of Low Confidence, Low Emotional Comfort, and Defensiveness - indicating a classic Beta mindset.
Summary: While President Trump's body language during this exchange does not indicate outright deception - his emotions of defensiveness, low emotional comfort, and low confidence are highly suggestive of it. These emotions have been expressed by the President with increasing frequency - particularly within the last 90 days.
Moreover - Disdain, Disgust, feelings of Repulsion, and Smugness are non-contextual when discussing soldiers lost in combat. In contrast, an emotion we would expect to see here is Empathy - and yet there is none.

Over 40 Injured in Explosion at Mumbai Refinery Plant
At least 43 workers were injured after a fire broke out following a boiler blast in the refinery of Bharat Petroleum (BPCLNSE -1.73 %) in Mumbai on Wednesday, officials said.

Bobby Brown, a professional NBA player with the Houston Rockets, has secured a position for himself in the Moron Hall of Fame a recent trip to China after he decided to improve the Great Wall of China by first drawing his name on the stone and then bragging about it. In fairness, it was just in chalk but it was still a uniquely stupid and disrespectful act.
Brown recently signed with the Rockets and seemed to celebrate by defacing ancient landmarks. For a guy who hasn't played professionally in six years, a degree of caution might have been warranted to make up for the lack of intellect or judgment.
We have previously discussed the destructive narcissism of tourists who write their names on historic locations or art. This includes the Chinese tourist who wrote on an ancient Egyptian temple or the Russian who carved his name into the Colosseum. An unidentified 55-year-old man from Missouri snapped the finger off a 14th or 15th century marble masterpiece when he decided to measure it by grabbing the hand. Two California women (again strangely allowed to go unidentified) were arrested after carving their names into the Colosseum. Then there was a 126-year-old statue of Dom Sebastian that crashed to the ground and shattered after man climbed on top of its pedestal to take a selfie with the 16th century Portuguese King.
"I had never been, it was my first time. I wrote my name on the wall in chalk. I saw different writings — I didn't mean any harm by it. I made a mistake. I could have just put my hand over it and erased it. It will never happen again.
I am unmoved. You are an adult. How much respect do you have for Chinese culture when you want to deface it? The Beijing Municipal Administration of Tourism impose a fine of up to $1,000, which is of course a meaningless amount to a professional athlete. However, it would at least create a record. Community service cleaning the Great Wall would have been more poignant.
John, I agree with you 99 times out of 100, but on this one I have to disent. Cut him a little slack.
I agree that defacing significant ancient landmarks is not the best habit to get into bit his apology seemed heartfelt. It read as a comment from a young man (albeit one old enough to know better) and not a PR firm or his agent. And it was just chalk, which would have either worn away or been washed away in the next rain.
We all do stupid and regretful things. I don't thing this incident raises much more criticism than a virtual slap in the back of the head and a 'you knucklehead'. It certainly isn't as serious as some of the examples you gave that caused permanent damage.
Give him a pass this time.
All right and I'm sticking my oar in here. As soon as he apologizes not to China but to all the young people who look up to sports heroes and copy their every move. That was the real damage. China took care of it themselves as they should have. Will we do the same?
Not while 'nice try here's an A for trying it your way' and 'social promotions' are in vogue. Come to think of it the country probably owes Bobby an apology. He followed in some one else's footsteps that's how we learn to walk.
So Bobby….on behalf of the thinking people of the country. Our apologies . The other half? They won't have a clue what was just said.
Comey gave little Bobby a 'good try' passing grade and a 'social promotion?' As I recall he did the same fo Hillary. He also said the FBI only prepares cases doesn't file charge nor judge them. Comey is the last person I would believe. He's going to die with the tar still stuck to his skin. Comey also fails to realize he's supposed to set an example. What a sad poor excuse for a public 'servant'?
So much for the highly trained experts of the adminstative progressive form of government. A pox on their failed theory.
So there you have it. Let it go, JT.
The graffiti at Horseshoe Canyon, Utah may go back as far as 13,000 years. Dudes and Dudettes, graffiti has been with us a long time.
Not the same context Paul. It had a different purpose 13,000 years ago, check out the artwork.
Unless you find "Grog loves Sheena" in a heart, then I give up.
Sum Ting, I do feel he is arrogant and that he can do what he wants. I think he could care less about being an American.
Did he have permission to graffiti the wall? If yes, please show us the contract. If no, then he violated property Rights.
Another case of an proletariat "only one" who thinks he can do what us plebes cannot.
It's the "I'm an American, and I can do as I please" arrogance that results in this sort of reprehensible mischief.
Nah, it's the I was here thing. It has been going on from the beginning of time. The first hand prints on cave walls attests to that. It is our value system that has changed. When nobody owned the cave walls it was expression. As soon as people started owning things, it became defacing public and private property. The solution lies somewhere in-between. Graffiti can be an art form and a defacement. In actuality a chalk scribble and a selfie is a viable compromise. A heart with two lovers' initials carved into the old oak tree is what?
No, listen to Sum Ting Weely Wong, it's the great American athlete thing. Don't see many great American scientists or the like doing that.
hey, thats GANG graffiti…. Because ALL graffiti is gang graffiti, right?? The public perception of graffiti is shaped by media force that just wants to make a dramatic story. Subtle bias is projected on the public, bored, scared people take on this uninformed bias without thinking, and then "all graffiti is bad" or "all graffiti is gang-related" etc.etc.etc.
This chalk thing he did would BARELY pass as a tag. It is definitely not graffiti. More of a barely stylized block-letter signature. In a city with actual graff, he'd be considered a toy. Graffiti artists actually have a code of ethics on what surfaces are game, and what surfaces are not ok. The Great Wall of China, is not ok. Schools, churches, businesses, homes, historical monuments, etc…People who tag or paint on these surfaces are usually immediately frowned upon, sorted out, and considered FOOLS by the graff world. Artists of quality who work in the world of graff actually hate on this kind of a story because it gives the media a chance to unfairly demonize it. There are INSANELY gifted graff artists out there in the world; What this guy did, is NOT graff. The media needs to be whipped indefinitely for exaggerating details and being lazy.
Graffiti from time immemorial turns into archeology. The grime of time and the marks left centuries ago make the great monuments of the world more than what they were when built. The chalk idea, perhaps more controlled such as you buy a ticket, get a photo taken, with your name chalked on the monument, and then you have to wash it off would work. Kilroy must be there. If Kilroy pays for the experience and leaves the place as he/she found it then why not?
There's a famous restaurant in Paris, perhaps more than one, where the glass panels that separate the private booths and the mirrors on the walls are covered in graffiti made by the diamond rings the rich fat cats gave to their mistresses before they went a boinking. At first it probably made the owners cry but now it draws in more customers at higher prices.
Not in context. Guess you could call the cave paintings of Lascaux graffiti too, but there is that context issue.
slohrss29 – I would accept Lascaux as graffiti. Very good graffiti, but graffiti none the less.
It's CHALK – get over it – next rain it will be gone. Damn – you have nothing better to talk about???
Put him under gun threat. Bend him over. Put a tatoo on his rear end which says: Great Wall.
It's chalk. Go easy on him. No big deal.
It is a big deal, Don. This guy was not following the cultural norms while in a foreign nation. That is a very dangerous form of behavior because sovereign nations do not have the same laws. It should not be expected that the U.S. would bail out an american citizen who broke the laws of a foreign land based on ignorance or arrogance.
Also this is one example of foreigners with greater incomes than the nations' citizens proportionately receive light fines since in this case a thousand dollars could have crippled a person of small means who resides in China and their system punishes to that level of income. But then we run into inequality in the application of justice if a foreigner is punished greater than a citizen. Jail would be a better alternative since they suffer at least in close approximation to what others must endure in their punishment.
One of the reasons Singapore is so clean is the use of he bamboo whip. To describe. if the penalty is 100 lashes it's meted out at ten a month. Takes that long for the previous to heal. Bamboo has tiny microscopic fish hook fibers when crushed or shredded. Still it beats their other punishment which is the death penalty.
The lesson is driven home population wide and as a result the city is clean. Crime is next to non existent. They don't waste a lot of money on jails and prisons. I thought about the ME group who welcome death. What if they had to get ten lashes a month for ten years. No hope of dying just ten years of agony.
Why only ten or so a month? No one inthe past ever lasted the full penalty term. Our sociologists have a lot to learn.
I thought punishment wasn't a deterrent? Maybe they should have tried the bamboo whip before they wrote that?
At the very least he used chalk instead of inscribing his graffiti in the stones: unlike so many. I suspect if he damaged, rather than defaced, the wall the penalty might include jail time.
Dude is a cliche of the "ugly American" abroad. Chinese should have sent him to a re education camp.
It is a shame it wasn't in Singapore. The Chinese go easy one bullet and send the family the bill for the cartidge. In Singapore first offense is ten lashe's with a crushed or shredded bamboo whip for littering and that included passing up some one else's rubbish. Other than the doofus American Embassy employees kid that key scratched a car I haven't heard of any one dumb enough to test them. Don't know about China in that much detail but I did notice the streets by comparison were very clean while Singapore looked like a new penny. Maybe we should emulate them starting with San Jose, CA and Houston TX..

A new visual identity was developed with the support of KeenWork Design and brings the colors green, blue and gray.
According to Luis Castellari, head of Creation and Strategy of KeenWork, the new visual identity was the result of more than a year of work in partnership with the OEC communication team. "We listened to more than 30 company executives around the world, held workshops with the new generations of young leaders and also talked with clients and strategic audiences to come up with a brand that symbolized the union of engineering with confidence in people's capacity to develop, which is in the DNA of the company," explains Castellari.
Alongside with the new brand, the company starts an advertising campaign that presents its new moment. "The campaign is an invitation for all interested parties to follow this process of learning and reconstruction," says Rodrigo Vilar, manager of Institutional Marketing at OEC.
Completing 75 years in 2019, OEC was responsible for the execution of more than 2,500 large-scale projects such as hydroelectric, thermal and nuclear power plants, as well as bridges, viaducts, tunnels, subways, and urban trains, airports, ports, railways, and works industries. Currently, the company is present in 16 countries, employs more than 20 thousand workers of different nationalities, in about twenty works for public and private clients.
Brand Repositioning
The change is part of a strong strategy of brand repositioning the company, which has adopted in recent years some measures of corporate governance, such as a new compliance system, the incorporation of independent directors, the updating and adoption of new policies and guidelines and a new process of succession beyond the beginning of its financial restructuring.
"It was an intense walk that allowed us to begin a process of reconstruction of confidence and whose results are already appearing," says OEC president Fabio Januário.
Project in Angola
Among the works of the OEC underway are the modernization of the port of Miami, the construction of a subway extension in Panama City, the Punta Catalina thermal power plant in the Dominican Republic and the Lauca hydroelectric plant in Angola.
The enterprise will account for 40% of all water production in the Northern System of Angola. The work must be completed by the end of 2020. Four of the seven generating units are already in operation.

What is Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO)?
Clinical Significance of ASO Test
Tests for ASO
Principle of the Test
Qualitative Test (Screening)
Semi-Quantitative Test
Limitations of the Test
Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO or ASLO) is the antibody made against streptolysin O, an immunogenic, oxygen-labile hemolytic toxin produced by most strains of group A and many strains of groups C and G streptococci.
In the course of streptococcal infections, the extracellular products of the bacteria act as antigens to which the body responds by producing specific antibodies. Streptolysin O (SLO) is one of two hemolysins (the other being Streptolysin S) produced by virtually all strains of Streptococcus pyogenes.
The letter "O" indicates that this toxin is oxygen labile. The SLO toxin has direct toxic effects on heart tissue. In the course of a streptococcal infection, SLO stimulates the production of specific antistreptolysin (ASO) antibodies, which in-vitro, neutralize the hemolytic properties of the antigen.
An antistreptolysin titer greater than 166 Todd units (or >200 IU) is considered a positive test in adults, while The normal value for adults is less than 166 Todd units, which indicates a negative test. Measurement of ASO antibody titre is important in the investigation of post-streptococcal diseases, particularly acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis and rheumatic fever.
Over 80% of patients with acute rheumatic fever and 95% of patients with acute glomerulonephritis have elevated titers of ASO.
The antibodies level starts to rise in 1-3 weeks after streptococcal infection, peaks in 3-5 weeks, and then goes back to insignificant level over 6-12 months, so a positive test can indicate current but more recent group A, C, and G streptococcal infection.
ASO test is done by serological methods like latex agglutination or slide agglutination. ELISA may be performed to detect the exact titre value. The test principle, procedure and interpretation presented here are based on Latex Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO) test.
ASO latex agglutination is the rapid and simple test for the qualitative and semi-quantitative measurement of antibodies to Antistreptolysin-O in human serum. This method is based on an immunological reaction between streptococcal exoenzymes bound to biologically inert latex particles and streptococcal antibodies in the test sample. The reagent has been adjusted in the way that presence of an ASO titer of 200 IU/mL or higher in the serum gives a visible agglutination of the latex particles.
Bring all reagents and specimens to room temperature.
Place one drop (50 µl) of the positive control and 50 µl of the patient serum into separate circles on the glass slide.
Shake the ASO latex reagent gently and add one drop (45 µl) on each circle next to the sample to be tested and control.
Mix well using disposable stirrer spreading the mixture over the whole test area and tilt the slide gently. Agitate for about 2 minutes with rotator or by hand and observe for the presence or abscence of agglutination.
Results and Interpretation:
Negative result:
No agglutination of the latex particles suspension within two minutes.
Positive result:
An agglutination of the latex particles suspension will occur within two minutes, indicating an ASO level of more than 200 IU/ml.
Serum to be titrated is serially diluted (1:2, 1:4, 1:8 etc) in 0.9 g/L saline solution.
Place one drop of positive control on slide. Do not attempt to dilute the ASO positive control serum for comparative or other purposes as no correlation exists between actual titre of the control and titre of unknown sera.
Place 50 ml of each serum dilution individually in successive circles on the slide and proceed as in screening methodology.
The serum ASO titre can be defined as the highest dilution showing a positive result. The approximate ASO level (IU/ml) present in the sample can be optained by the following formula:
ASO Titre (IU/ml) = Highest dilution with positive reaction x Reagent sensitivity ( 200 IU/ml)
e.g. if the agglutination is present up to a titre 1:4 , the approximate serum ASO level is 4 x 200 = 800 IU/ml
Highly haemolyzed and lipemic serum as well as plasma interfere with the test.
Non-streptococcal conditions that occasionally cause positive reactions (usually less than 500 IU/ml) in ASO antibody tests include rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, pneumococcal pneumonia, gonorrhoea, and hepatitis.
Since streptolysin is only one of several Streptococcus A exoenzymes, the ASO test will not detect the other antibodies to exoenzymes of Streptococcus A.

Fitness First raises hundreds for British Heart Foundation
FITNESS fans have raised hundreds for charity.
Members of Fitness First on Brewery Drive in Lockwood have collected £700 for the British Heart Foundation. They took part in the national Million Miles Challenge – where people clocked up miles on treadmills, rowing machines and bikes. Fitness First manager Trevor Seymour said: "I'm really proud that our members have raised so much." The challenge has raised £31,000 nationally.


I'm just starting out in the Houston area and have been looking for a flip house for a little over a month now in the Katy/Cypress area. My realtor and I have been putting offers on houses in Bear Creek Village but keep getting outbid by, assumingly, people who want to turn the house into a rental. Obviously, I can't keep up with their bids since they can eat the extra costs.
Anyway, I'm having trouble locking one down. I check HAR and myhousedeals.com but am wondering if there's another resource out there that I'm missing. I'd like to have a house by the end of the month to have it saleable for the summer.
All advice is welcome. Thanks!
If on-market isn't work, try off-market.
Try calling those bandit signs on the side of the road (e.g. We Buy Houses) Those are often wholesalers who are acquiring as well as selling deals.
Also, look up your local REIA organization (e.g. Houston REIA) as many wholesalers and flippers will post deals on there. Even if the deals aren't great, it'll get you contacts and may lead to more deals.
If you'd like, I can contact you when I find an off-market properties.
I come across them often at discounted rates.
Please message me and lets exchange contact info. Thanks sir.
@Colton Mathieu Another alternative is Harris County Tax Sale Auctions. In Feb Auction we were able to pick 3 properties. The only catch is you got to pay cash or cashier's check.
Thanks for the suggestions @Nathan Platter . I'll definitely make some calls to the signs I see. I'm also a part of the Houston REIA, so I'll give them a go.
For sure @Quarn Corley . I'll pm you.
@Sammy G. I've been getting the Harris county tax sale emails for a while now but am not currently in a place to pay cash for a house. I've been prequalified for a HML so I'll be going that route for now. One day I'll pay cash for a house... one day.
Are you sure you're getting rejected because the other offers are higher, or is it because you're coming in with an hml and not all cash? Most listing agents of flooded homes I know are very anti-hml, because in essence, it is a 100% financed purchase that still requires lender approval and an appraisal. Cash has none of those hurdles.
Also, many hml's are quite wary of homes that have flooded more than once, and I saw one case recently where they raised the rehab budget and increased their points and interest rate because of it.
Definitely will have a harder time getting your offer accepted w/ an hml than cash, but maybe going off-market will get you the deal you are looking for. Good luck!

Q: Package org.joda.time does not exist This is the very first time I try to import a third party *.jar into my project. I'm using Netbeans 7.0.1
Besides the usual project structure the following are inside the Source Packages folder:
Appointments
|
 - MyDate.java
 - Run.java

Attempt at importing the Joda Time gives me: package org.joda.time does not exist
import org.joda.time.*;

What am I missing?

A: You have to add joda-time-2.0.jar via project library. (Project + Libraries (Right mouse click) + Add Jar/Folder)

A: You need to check that "joda-time-2.0.jar" is added to your classpath. If it is then check that it really contains the package mentioned.

Posted January 24, 2012 by Guillaume Plessis & filed under PHP.
A few days ago, Stefan Esser discovered a buffer overflow in the "transparent cookie encryption stack" of the Suhosin extension. Here is the full advisory.
apt-get has now asked whether I want suhosin.ini to be rewritten. Thank you for the change and the suhosin update Guillaume, you're the best.
I've never installed php5-suhosin as a standalone package, I always installed/upgraded your dotdeb package. Should I update php5-suhosin as well ? BTW my phpinfo() says "This server is protected with the Suhosin Patch 0.9.10".
@M : there's no need for you to install php5-suhosin (the *extension*) if you don't use its functions.
On the other side, the suhosin *patch* that is bundled with Dotdeb's PHP packages, is not vulnerable to any buffer overflow. No need to upgrade anything.
' . Can you help me ?
@M : you should have summoned "apt-get remove –purge php5-suhosin" to remove Suhosin's loading/configuration file.
but how to remove its symlinks in /etc/php5/*/conf.d/suhosin.ini ?
please please do not recycle previously used version numbers!
Because some people use Package mirros like approx.
So please reuse version numbers in the future!
@Marcel : sorry, I got your point, but reusing the version numbers was a the quickest way to fix the buffer overflow this time.
Packaging only php5-suhosin for lenny/squeeze amd64/i386 takes me about 5 minutes, while rebuilding all the php5-* packages last at least 4 hours.
I'll do my best to avoid this in the future.
i'm not sure i understand why changeing the version number in one package means to rebuild all packages.
You recompiled the suhosin.so file which included the security fix, made a .deb package out of it and refreshed the repository metadata (Packages.gz) to reflect the right checksum and size.
So where is here the need to rebuild the whole php5-* packages if you just additionally changed the minor version number to dotdeb.4?
BTW: Thanks for the service you provide! Even though i do criticise the version numbering in this case this doesn't mean i do not value your work with all the nice packages you provide!
@Marcel : because each php5-* depends on the php5-common package with the same version number.

The view from a 9,000 foot peak, just south of Monitor Pass
8,314 ft (2,534 m)
Traversed by
Alpine County, California, United States
38°40′32″N 119°37′10″W / 38.67556°N 119.61944°W / 38.67556; -119.61944
Monitor Pass (el. 8,314 ft / 2,534 m) is a high mountain pass in California in the Sierra Nevada southeast of Lake Tahoe. It is traversed by State Route 89 near that highway's southern terminus at U.S. Route 395 near the community of Topaz. While this section of Route 89 serves to connect the basins of the West Walker River and Carson River, Monitor Pass itself lies on a side ridge between tributaries of the East Fork Carson River. Crossing the pass allows for a more direct route between U.S. 395 and Markleeville, California, at the expense of some additional elevation.
Monitor Pass is part of the route taken by Jedediah Smith in late spring of 1827 when leaving California at the end of his first exploratory journey, the first crossing ever of the Sierra Nevada by a non-native. Smith first came down from Ebbetts Pass, then continued from Monitor Pass past Topaz Lake into Nevada.[1]
The highway through the pass was completed in the early 1950s, making it one of the most recent Sierra Nevada passes to be opened by a paved road. The highway project was promoted by Robert M. Jackson of Markleeville, who worked for the Alpine County Public Works Department for more than 30 years.[2]
State Route 89 over Monitor Pass is subject to winter closure due to snow accumulation. Dates of closure vary depending on the weather, but Monitor Pass is generally closed to vehicular traffic between late November and early April.[3]

Sometimes, it is so easy to just go with the standard choices when it comes to a quick lunch. Yes, that includes fast food joints, salad bars and of course, food courts. However, there are plenty of places to grab a quick and fairly inexpensive meal. One just has to look "beyond what they can see" (Lion King reference...). That brought Viv and I to Cantina Pana located on the strip of restaurants and businesses along Cornwall between Chestnut and Maple. This small lil' joint serves up tacos and bowls for the price you would pay eating at Subway.
Before we got to the aforementioned items, we just had to try their Chili Cheese Pana Tots. If you haven't noticed these days, tater tots are a thing. Hey, we weren't complaining with these ones since they were fried up golden brown and crunchy. What made it special was the ample topping of spiced beef chili, Monterey jack cheese and green onions. Yes, they ate like a meal with the robust meatiness and rich cheese. For $11.00, the Barbacoa Beef Brisket Bowl was pretty substantial on a bed of Mexican rice topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, tarragon cabbage slaw, salsa, pickled onion and lime creme fraiche. The large serving of beef was tender with a meaty chew. Combined with the rest of the ingredients, especially the tangy tomatoes, there was a good mix of flavours. It felt sort of "healthyish".
Off to the tacos, we had the Orange Chili Pork and Crispy Coconut Cauliflower on the first plate. We found the pork to be tender and of course on the sweeter side. There was some spice too from the braise as well as the chipotle salsa. To cool it down, there was some creamy guacamole while the diced white onions and corn added crunch. The lime on the side helped add the necessary acidity as well. Interestingly, the only veggie option we chose was actually one of my favourites. I found the cauliflower to be the right texture in between firm and soft while the crunch of the deep fried was uniform. Underneath, there was a substantial amount of guacamole, crunchy and creamy tarragon cabbage slaw and tangy honey-dijon dressing. The key here was the wealth of flavours that made this meatless taco interesting.
For our other 2 tacos, we had the Crispy Fried Cod and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Both featured large pieces of protein and could easily be enough for person with smaller appetite. If one ate both, it would be enough for lunch. I found the cod to be moist and flaky with a crunchy tempura coating. It was dressed in mango-mint mojo and lime crema while accompanied by romaine lettuce and toasted coconut. This was light-tasting and certainly aromatic to a point, but the flavours could've been more impactful. Mind you, a few drops of hot sauce solved that problem. As for the chicken, it was super crunchy with moist juicy meat on the inside. The grape tomato salad was the key here as it added moisture and a burst of sweet tang that made the taco. A spicy Caesar dressing added creaminess and some heat, lots of flavours going on. Overall, we enjoyed the eats at Cantina Pana where the portions were large and the prices were fair.
