The landmark day in the history of baseball surgical repair came on September 25th 1974. On that day Dr. Frank Jobe, then the Los Angeles Dodgers orthopedic surgeon, accomplished an innovative procedure that would carry the name of his first subject. Jobe operated on Tommy John and such the future of arm injuries in baseball changed. The procedure re-attached the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow. Welcome to Tommy John surgery and a change in the future of many baseball careers.
Tommy John surgery is a surgical procedure in which a healthy tendon extracted from an arm (or sometimes a leg) is used to replace an arm's torn ligament. The healthy tendon is threaded, usually in a figure eight fashion, through holes drilled into the bone above and below the elbow. This improved stability in the elbow and return many subjects to normal, if not better, conditions.
Prior to Tommy John surgery, a pitcher with substantial ligament damage would often go incorrectly diagnosed and their careers in essence would come to an abrupt conclusion. However, since 1974 hundreds of players have undergone Tommy John surgery and a great percentage of those players were able to carry on their playing careers. It was a perfect storm of success due to the fact that the surgery was successful and there was a high profile career to point that success at.
Tommy John had amassed 124 wins from 1963 to 1974, the years preceding the surgery. After the operation, he won another 164 games. His ability to comeback from this once career threatening condition and perform at a high level is what made this procedure as famous as it has become over the years.
Due to the success rate of the surgery, it often becomes the front line choice to solve issues with pitchers of all ages. Full rehabilitation usually takes one to one and a half years. Players are allowed to begin throwing again a few months after Tommy John surgery has taken place. A short list of players that have returned to exceptional performance post Tommy John surgery include John Smoltz, Stephen Strasburg, A.J Burnett, and Billy Wagner.
With that being said, some players have gone under for a second operation later in their careers or when something just did not take correctly the first time around. The percent of players to be successful after a second procedures is dramatically smaller. Doctor Andrews has placed the success rate around 20 percent for pitchers to return to pre-surgery form after a second Tommy John surgery. Overall this is not overly shocking as multiple operations in the same area can cause concern along with the fact that each person's ability to recover is unique and undefinable until the procedure has occurred.
The Yankees have not completely escaped from Tommy John surgery. In fact one of the current crop of Yankees pitching prospects is getting the procedure, James Kaprielian. While successful recovery has gone up it is never a guarantee. Below is a list of notables (or sort of notables) that have donned pinstripes and had the procedure. Just sit back and think of what they were before and after the procedure to try and expound on what the future holds for young James Kaprielian. Feel free to add a comment with other names I might have missed when building the historical list.


You can't base decisions on assumptions. What you can't measure you can't manage. Familiar? Of course, and what you want to do with your software is specifically what's hinted: measure how people use it. Azure Application Insights is a tool for this, being an application telemetry service. Now we created an Orchard module for it for easy integration!
We all know that with software stuff tends to break or doesn't work as expected - at least for some users. Then it would be great to see exactly what those "some" users experience. So why not authenticate as them? This is now possible with our new Orchard module, Login as Anybody.
If your website is at least just a bit popular you'll get a lot of spam in form of comment spam for example but also as registration spam: spambots will try to sign up on your site and fill your database with garbage. The Orchard registration page is no different: but now you can use Orchard's spam countermeasures there as well with the Lombiq Antispam module.
We haven't told you here yet but recently we released two new Orchard modules!
Orchard Liquid Markup is a module that extends the built-in Orchard.Templates module and allows you to write shape templates right from the admin by using the Liquid Markup language. The module is also included on DotNest sites!
Associativy Taxonomies Adapter is the other new module: extending the Associtiaty knowledge graph engine it provides an automatic way of building cool graphs by using existing taxonomies (coming from the built-in Orchard.Taxonomies module).
Which one got you interested?
Our User Notifications Orchard module released!
This module has been in production on www.realtyshares.com for several months, and it runs without a hitch. Not only is it easy to use, but it's also very efficient. RealtyShares is able to send batches of notifications on the order of tens of thousands without straining the web server or interrupting the user experience. Scaling isn't a concern either, as the module was designed to handle much higher volume.
The notification content is also token aware, so it's possible to send personalized messages addressing the user by name. This feature is very handy.
If you're looking for easy ways to engage users on your site, this simple yet powerful module is an indispensable tool.

They Turn Collars Into Dollars
Catering to filthy rich Fidos is making Bill and Ken Osborne the veritable Tiffany of Towserland.
By Jack E. Kemmerer
A DREAM in which he saw a pet poodle wearing a magnificent, diamond-studded dog collar launched 38-year-old breeder of pedigreed show dogs Bill Osborne and his brother Ken, 25, on a unique money-making venture which has them catering to the upper crust of dogdom.
The incident occurred shortly after World War II when the Osborne brothers were living in Miami, Fla., where they operated a kennel and "beauty parlor" for upper class canines.
When Bill told Ken of his unusual dream, Ken exclaimed, "Hey, that's an idea. Why not make up some nifty, jeweled dog collars and sell our customer on the idea of buying sets for dogs?"
Soon the brothers were launched on their new enterprise. They sketched out a variety of eye-catching designs and bought leather, buckles, suede, rhinestones and costume jewelry for raw materials. Then with small hand-tools they transformed their "dream" collars into beautiful and unusual creations for filthy rich Fidos.
A dozen Hollywood stars commissioned them to turn out jeweled neckwear for their pets and some wanted such additional finery as matching bracelets for Rover's forelegs.
"It seemed that no blue-blooded pup could feel well dressed without a custom collar," said Bill Osborne. "And price was of no consequence to many patrons. From rhinestones we graduated to semi-precious stones and then to real diamond and emerald collars. One New York member of the doggy set now sports a half dozen collars of exclusive design which cost the pup's owner more than the price of a new limousine."
The increasing demand for the Osbornes' specialty among upper-bracket dog owners and movie studios made them move to the film city where they have established a dog collar designing and manufacturing studio in conjunction with a modern salon—Jock & Fifi Poodle Beauty Salon—for cinemaland canines. It is just a short distance from some of the major motion picture studios and also very close to some of the salon's best customers—Beverly Hills.
James G. Lindsay, organizer of the Tailwaggers Foundation of America, estimates that the average Beverly Hills Dog owner spends at least $750 a year on his hound. The Wall Street Journal recently estimated that no more than $25 a year is spent on each of the other 30,000,000 barkers living in comparative poverty in the U. S.
Standard collars are usually made up in a set consisting of a matching collar and leash. If the owner is a woman she can complete the ensemble by wearing a matched jeweled belt also made by the Osborne brothers. These standard combination sets retail for about $7.50 and bring the Osbornes about $4.25 each wholesale.
Working by hand, Bill Osborne says that one person can turn out about 18 complete sets a day. Material cost is $1.25 per set, leaving a net of $3 per set if sold wholesale. This does not include the matching belt. This output can be greatly increased with leather cutting dies which the Osbornes use for many of their less expensive designs.
The one-of-a-kind, custom-designed jobs with semi-precious and precious stones have no set price, depending entirely on each individual collar. The Osbornes' biggest job to date was an order for an 18-inch long, four-inch wide jeweled and gold encrusted ceremonial collar which an Oriental potentate ordered for his pet jaguar. It cost $2,500 and was made from special plans sent from New Delhi, India.
Bill and Ken prefer to keep even their less expensive finery on a more or less exclusive basis. To do this they sell retail through their salon. They also sell to a few exclusive department stores in the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills area.
With the demand for customized dog accoutrements continuing to grow, the Osbornes are in the process of adding a complete line of deluxe canine finish- ings such as zippered boots, colored flannel linings and a new terrycloth bathrobe—the last bark in dog finery.
In addition to sales of dog clothing, the Osbornes have their poodle beauty salon which does a howling business in the canine society set. Here a dog can get the works from a hair-do—cost $5 and up—to a shampoo and manicure. The full treatment for a poodle of its traditionally exotic coiffures, ordinarily runs in excess of $50 per setting.
The Osbornes figure that about 60 per cent of their annual business comes from their line of custom dog collars with last year's total net exceeding $20,000 from all sources. They expect their new clothing line to make up another ten to 15 per cent.
If an individual wanted to start his own jeweled dog collar business he could do so for less than a $100 investment. A used sewing machine can be had for $25 and up. The hand tools for leather working can be purchased for as little as $10 or $15. The largest single outlay would be for jewels which could be purchased only as needed.
Bill and Ken think there's a brilliant future ahead for the diamond dog collar and deluxe dog clothing industry. "Why, there's at least 30,000,000 dogs in the U. S. and I would estimate about 500,000 of them are in this area," Bill says. "We need only a small percentage of their owners as customers to make us the undisputed "Tiffany of Towserland." •

If you drive out of Cape Town and through the Huguenot Tunnel, keep going past Ceres and don't stop till you see a signpost outside a little town called Op-die-Berg, a signpost that says Kagga Kamma, you will find yourself in an orange-hued Martian landscape of mountains, hills, crazy rocks and boulders. This is Kagga Kamma. Hotel, timeshare, bar and restaurant – but mainly a beautiful space to unwind and relax.
We were lucky enough to spend a few days in this foreign landscape, breathing in the pure, crisp air, soaking up the stillness, and gazing at the rocky terrain where every rock tells a different story of erosion and wind, water and nature carving beautiful shapes into the orange stone. There isn't alllll that much to do at Kagga Kamma if you're not into nature – but if you are, it is an absolute joy.
Take long walks around the reserve (supposedly a game reserve, but we never saw anything bigger than dassies), explore the indigenous succulents and flora in the area, or simply sit on your verandah and stare out at the vast expanse of nothingness: this is where you come to relax and unwind.
And make fires. In winter it's blisteringly cold at Kagga Kamma, so we built fires every afternoon and long into the evenings, inside and out, for braais, potjies and warmth! With no cell reception, no televisions and no external entertainment, there's no excuse not to relax completely – breathe in the serenity, read a few books, and remember what it's like to live in rhythm with the light of the day. It's a photographer's dream, too, with the rocks and boulders throwing beautiful shadows no matter what time of day.
In short, if you're looking for somewhere to completely relax, in an area of startling and unusual beauty, head 3 hours out of Cape Town and discover the world of Kagga Kamma.
You're going to have a fabulous time! We managed to get around to and from the reception area to our self-catering cottage in a Toyota Yaris (not at all 4×4!) but if you want to do the trails in the actual nature reserve you need a 4×4.
That said, I don't think you would see too much that you wouldn't see walking… Unless all the elusive game are hiding somewhere with only 4×4 access!
It sounds perfect! Our holiday to Kagga Kamma is booked. Question – do you need a 4×4 to drive around there? What are the roads like?

I LOVE A GOOD BOSTON BEATDOWN!
Source: Charles Wenzelberg NY Post
One day after Patriot's Day (a fake a holiday truthfully speaking), the Yankees had their own kind of revolution in the Bronx. It was a good 'ol Boston beatdown in the first game against the World Series Champions in 2019. Nothing like home field advantage with 12 players on the injured list, 12 strikeouts and three home runs to take down the Red Sox 8-0.
Source: Suzie's view
I was fortunate to be one of thousands of fans to witness this incredible all in win which included small balls, big balls and fast balls. Sitting out in right field behind Yankee anchor, Aaron Judge, felt like being in the playoffs in April. The stadium was electric and the Yankees did not disappoint with a team filled with reserves.
"Tuesday's win only improved the Yankees to 7-9 on the young season, so it would be wrong to say the replacement players have helped keep them afloat in the early going. The Yankees are still short at the bottom of the lineup most days. For one night though, things came together and the Yankees received big contributions both at the plate and in the field from their call-ups," reported CBS Sports.
Source: WPIX
One of the spotlights defensively behind a gem by James Paxton, was Gio Urshela, whose incredible play at third looked like a Graig Nettles reboot. Making a throw completely off balanced and from his feet while slipping on the grass, he took down the Red Sox momentum early by saving an extra base hit off the bat of Mookie Betts. He also contributed with a double and scored a run.
Source: NJ.com
Paxton blanked 12 batters and pitched eight solid innings of scoreless baseball. Fourth outfielder, Mike Tauchman, smashed a double and planted a three-run home run in second deck of right field, just a few rows back from where I was sitting. Gleyber Torres and Clint Frazier both contributed with home runs to help shut down the now 0-4 Chris Sale and the 6-12 Red Sox.
If we can play like this today and continue to battle back from injuries, this team can turn things around quickly. As a fellow fan said yesterday, "we just have to be patient." Difficult for Yankee fans to swallow, patience that is, but it's our new normal. I like the lineup Aaron Boone concocted last night and hope he doesn't change a thing for today's game. Leading off with DJ LeMahieu, dropping Brett Gardner down in the order and batting Frazier fifth seemed to really work. I love a good Boston beatdown any day of the week, but last night's was something extra special!

This past month I've done more Chinese face readings, space clearings and energy work than I expected. Clients wanted to get a head start and also get rid of the bad energy from the year. Many have already reported shifts...joy to my heart. If you've never had energy work done, I invite you to let the universe guide you. Energies always sync up. Removing negative energy brings you peace, clarity, wisdom, compassion, and opportunities.
This is the "metal" season according to Chinese Medicine. Many things are dying off. They must die off for new energies to grow. If you don't know what your soul is telling you, how to clear out the bad energy, and direct energy, you'll be REACTIVE.
When you want to start anything new, make room for it. You can't fill a full cup. I always recommend clearing your space you are around most, even if its one little area. You must move the energy for the CHI to flow. Move the furniture around, get rid of something, place things that make you feel good NOW...sage, palo santo, burn incense or light a candle there. Invite the energy in and create a sacred space for it to want to stay. Get rid of the old bad negative energy. People that are sensitive to environments, this impacts you more than you know.
If you can, hire a professional to do a space clearing for your space. I did a space clearing for a house the other day that is still being rebuilt. They are moving in January. It had 3 spirits I had to send to the 5th dimension. I also had to install lots of protection energy because how close it is to the street and the cell phone tower! As I walked the one acre plus space, I asked to have the land heal of the underground water and faulty pressure line. It will be a meadow of abundance very soon.


My friend Tracy emailed me this awesomeness.
but just letting you scroll down is much more effective.
Ok, can't resist a few notes.
One of her purses seems to have survived from the Nixon administration to the Clinton era…maybe she's not so different from us commoners after all.
Where's LBJ?, I asked. Google tells me they never met; why not is the subject of some boring conjecture.
Re the Reagan photo. Either Ronnie thought he was at a Dean Martin roast, or he just couldn't hide his true feelings about that dress.
apparently being a queen totally trumps being a president… how many has she outlasted so far?? oddly she has a different expression with each one… no comment on reagan. as a side note I get all sorts of thrill by her husband being her 'consort' and not the 'king'….
I felt so bad that she had to be so "dressed" during the heatwave. Poor dear.
I know I haven't been around in a while but make sure you stop by and enter my giveaway. It's a real goodie. A $70.00 gift certificate to use at ANY of the over 200 CSN stores!
I especially love how she looks with George H. W. Bush and with Richard Nixon. Most of these Presidents knew how to observe protocol and let the lady's quiet beauty shine. A gentleman knows it's not all about "him" grinning like a Cheshire cat.
She's wearing that ratty old tiara in a few photos too. How embarrassing.
Really interesting series. Sharp eye on the handbag; The Queen knows how to take care of her stuff. I said OMG when we get to Eisenhower. She has seen it all.

Very Low Earth Orbit Constellations for Earth Observation

Very Low Earth Orbits (VLEOs), those below 450 km, present a number of benefits and challenges for the development and operation of Earth observation spacecraft at both the system and mission level. This paper examines the design of constellations of satellites for operation in VLEO for Earth observation considering both system and mission level trade-offs. The resulting analysis identifies general design trends and proposes suitable mission architectures for Earth observation from VLEO. The principal benefit for satellites operating in VLEO is that the reduction in the distance to the Earth's surface allows better imaging resolution to be achieved using smaller and less powerful payloads. This has corresponding benefits for the system mass and cost. However, the sustained and controlled operation of spacecraft in VLEO is challenging due to the increased atmospheric density at these altitudes, which increases propulsive and attitude control requirements. Technologies to facilitate the commercially viable operation of spacecraft in VLEO are currently being developed, for example materials to facilitate drag-reduction and aerodynamic control and atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion systems (ABEP), each of which influence the design of other sub-systems, requiring, for example, varying levels of power or new geometric considerations. At the mission level, the reduction in altitude has a generally negative influence on the coverage and revisit characteristics of a given satellite. However, deployment of these satellites in constellations can provide improvements in the overall system metrics. Systems operating in VLEO may also benefit from improved launch vehicle capability and assured end-of-life deorbit. It is clear, therefore, that important and non-intuitive trade-offs between the satellite platform design, constellation configuration, and total cost arise in the design of these systems. This paper uses combined platform-level system modelling and mission analysis to explore the design of constellations of satellites in VLEO for Earth observation and demonstrates the necessity of a holistic approach to mission and system design when considering operations in VLEO.

With all the April showers and May flowers of spring comes an unfortunate reality for an estimated 50 million people in the US: seasonal allergies. Runny eyes, itchy noses, and sneeze after sneeze define the season for sufferers of Hay Fever.
There's no known cure for seasonal allergies, but don't despair! With preventative action and proper treatment of symptoms, those pesky sniffles are completely manageable. Here we look at what causes seasonal allergies and share some of our top tips that'll have you breathing easy in no time.
Allergic rhinitis, commonly referred to as Hay Fever or seasonal allergies, happens when your body misidentifies a harmless substance as dangerous. Your immune system goes into defense mode, releasing something known as histamine, which causes the symptoms we're all too familiar with. Allergic rhinitis can be triggered by a variety of substances, from pollen to mold to pet dander.
Since there's no one cure for Hay Fever, the best that seasonal allergy sufferers can do to fight sinus misery in the springtime is take preventative action. Here are a couple of tips to lessen the time you spend scratching, sniffling, and sneezing.
Keeping tabs on local pollen counts (the amounts of different types of pollen in the air where you live) can help keep your sniffling to a minimum. You can use a tool like this one from the Weather Channel to see when pollen levels are high. Generally, pollen counts tend to be at their lowest just after sunrise and highest just before sunset.
When you know a high-pollen day is imminent, your best bet is to stay inside. Keep your windows and doors closed tight and use your air conditioner to help filter air from outdoors. If you have to leave the house, make sure to take a shower or at least change clothes when returning home so that no pollen from outside sticks to you. And don't risk drying your laundry on a clothesline during a high-pollen day!
As we mentioned before, seasonal allergies can also be triggered by molds that come alive during this damp, warm season. Make sure to do a seasonal inspection of any spots in your home that might have mold. This includes oft-forgotten spots like the gutters and compost areas that can be breeding grounds for allergy-inducing mold.
A lot of the unpleasant symptoms of seasonal allergies deal with allergens getting trapped in the mucous lining of the sinuses (sounds gross, we know). Think sneezing, drippy noses, and itchiness. Drinking plenty of water keeps your sinuses moist, helping to clear out these irritants. If you're experiencing extra-nasty symptoms, you can even help replenish moisture with a nasal spray or nasal irrigation.
Smallflower carries a variety of natural options to help soothe seasonal allergy stresses. Check out a few of our favorites below.
Urban Moonshine's Allergy Blast contains a targeted blend of herbs and other natural ingredients to help prevent Hay Fever symptoms.
Created by a chronic sufferer of seasonal allergies, HayMax is designed to create a barrier that allergens can't penetrate, preventing the production of histamine. Try it in a lovely lavender scent, with added soothing aloe vera, or in the classic original.
This supplement is designed to help the body adjust to the environmental stressors than can cause seasonal allergies.

Q: How to declare Internal table in MySQL? I want to know how to define or declare Internal table in MySQL
I am new to MySQL and i Don't know the syntax
as you can see I create Stored Procedure
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `MySP`(
    actioncode VARCHAR(5),
    TNewsID BIGINT
)

BEGIN

IF actioncode = 1 then -- Retrive all from the database --
    select *
    from emp.tbnews;
elseIF actioncode = 2 then -- Retrive all from the database By NewsID --
    select NewsID,NewsSubject,NewsSubjectAR,NewsDetails,NewsDetailsAR,CreatedOn,DisplayOrder,
           AllowDisplay,img
    from emp.tbnews
    Where NewsID=TNewsID;
elseIF actioncode = 3 then -- fkjskldfjklsdf --
    select NewsID,NewsSubject,NewsSubjectAR,NewsDetails,NewsDetailsAR,CreatedOn,DisplayOrder,
           AllowDisplay,img
    from emp.tbnews;

 END IF;
 END

What I Really want is to declare  Internal table before the IF Statement
in Sql Server I am doing it like this
declare  @tbTemp table (
 a as int,
 b as char...etc.
)

because i want to put insert statement after
IF actioncode = 1
    Insert into @tbTemp

so please if you know tell me how
best regards for every one.

A: create temporary table tmp
(
id int unsigned not null,
name varchar(32) not null
)
engine=memory; -- change engine type if required e.g myisam/innodb

insert into tmp (id, name) select id, name from foo... ;

-- do more work...

select * from tmp order by id;

drop temporary table if exists tmp;

or
create temporary table tmp engine=memory select id, name from foo... ;

-- do more work...

select * from tmp order by id;

drop temporary table if exists tmp;

A: Do you mean CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ? It's an in-memory table specific to the connection running the statement so unless you are running persistent connections you have no worries on name conflicts.

"From the moment I began reading Michael Olin-Hitt's recent collection of short stories, Messiah Complex and Other Stories, I was immediately reminded of the moment I discovered the stories of Raymond Carver. There is an immediate comfort with the conversational rhythm of the story telling. I found myself listening to some of these characters like I listened to Holden Caulfield.
These stories end pitch-perfectly. Our lives are comprised of loose ends, and Olin-Hitt's stories, while certainly take place in this tangle, are extracted in a near surgical manner, finishing in decisive moments. After reading this collection in one sitting, I recalled the words of Charles Lindbergh: "Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, as indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter,"
In the hands of another writer, these stories might end muddied from too much mucking around and stirring up unnecessary details. These are quick, clear, crisp stories, which, in the masterful hands of Olin-Hittt, make you feel something."
~ David Anthony Martin, Publisher, Middle Creek Publishing & Audio
and author of Span and Deepening the Map
"I was drawn into the story by [the character's] kinetic voice and hooked by his spirited and smart digressions. But what really engaged me was the emotional complexity and the way the author carefully and subtly added so many layers. There's sadness and loss but it's met with optimism and empathy. And that's what ultimately won me over: it's bighearted and optimistic without being naive. "Struggle and beauty," says [one character]. "You don't get one without the other." That's what this story offers. Struggle and beauty and grace."
~ Bryan Hurt, author of Everyone Wants to Be Ambassador to France
and editor of Watchlist: 32 Stories by Persons of Interest.
"I nudged another project aside, with the idea that I would take a quick peek at these stories. Hours later, I was still reading -- crying my way through much of the work. Michael Olin-Hitt is the Leonard Cohen of fiction. Read these stories. You will be transported, transformed, washed new. "
~ Debra Leigh Scott, Founding Director of Hidden River Arts
and author of Other Likely Stories.
Dr. Michael Olin-Hitt, English professor at Mount Union College teaches American Literature, Fiction Writing, and Native American Literature.
He has published an award-winning novel, "The Homegoing," in addition to two books on mystical awareness and thirteen short stories. Messiah Complex and Other Stories is the winner of Middle Creek Publishing's Osprey Fiction Award for 2016.
Michael Olin-Hitt's novel, The Homegoing, won first place in the Somerset Awards for Literary Mixed-Genre, sponsored by Chanticleer Reviews. In addition to his novel he has published two books of nonfiction on spirituality. He lives in Clinton, Ohio with his wife, Jennifer, and two children.

Michel-Edouard Leclerc does not rule out occasional store closures to save energy
Michel-Edouard Leclerc, President of the Leclerc Centers Strategic Committee, announced on Monday July 25 that some of the group's stores could close in certain time windows possibly to limit energy consumption this winter.
Shops may be closed during certain time slots […] We will have no qualms, we are fighting for our country "said Michel-Edouard Leclerc Information about France .
The industry has took matters into their own hands and considers a number of scenarios crisis to prepare for possible supply cuts next winter amid concerns of a complete disruption in Russian gas supplies to Europe.
An "Energy Crisis Protocol"
All in all, we should be able to guarantee French consumers […] not to have cuts that are too big, and when there are cuts, it's primarily companies like ours that will adopt them he pointed out.
Perifem, an association of distribution players and their suppliers dealing with technical issues (environment, safety, etc.), announced last Monday in a press release an agreement on a Crisis Energy Protocol to be implemented on October 15.
This protocol, which envisages, for example, the deletion of illuminated signs at closing time and a reduction in the intensity of the lighting, was approved in particular by the managers of Auchan, Carrefour, Casino, Franprix, Intermarché, Leclerc and Picard.
This was announced by the Minister for Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, in an interview Sunday newspaper the forthcoming publication of two decrees banning neon signs between 1am and 6am except in train stations and airports open at night; and a ban on heated or air-conditioned shops keeping their doors open.

Experts: Van Gogh Painted Disputed Self-Portrait in Asylum
The provenance of the painting has been debated for decades, but experts say they are now sure it's a true Van Gogh.
Updated Apr. 25, 2017 3:06PM ET / Published May. 15, 2009 6:07AM ET
Ernest Hemingway's unfinished Parisian novel, A Moveable Feast, first published in 1964, will be re-released this summer. But it will be "restored," with previously omitted sections returned to the text. Christopher Hitchens assesses the new version in The Atlantic, asking, "What is it exactly that explains the continued fascination of this rather slight book? Obviously, it is an ur-text of the American literary fascination with Paris." Hitchens revisits the famous, "supremely unsatisfactory" scene in which Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald go to a restaurant bathroom to, um, measure up, and enjoys a nostalgic trip around Paris with Gertrude Stein and her partner, Alice B. Toklas. "Most of all, though," Hitchens writes, "I believe that A Moveable Feast serves the purpose of a double nostalgia: our own as we contemplate a Left Bank that has since become a banal tourist enclave in a Paris where the tough and plebeian districts are gone, to be replaced by seething Muslim banlieues all around the periphery; and Hemingway's at the end of his distraught days, as he saw again the 'City of Light' with his remaining life still ahead of him rather than so far behind."

Cottage itself inside was lovely had everything you needed for you stay including iron hairdryer etc. The kitchen had pots pans even coffee,teas,sauces, jams nice touch. We have really enjoyed our stay at the whispering willow lovely cosy warm nights by the big log burner. We will definitely be back thanks for a fantastic stay.
Spacious Peaceful, yet only five minutes from all the facilities you might require. Perfectly positioned for exploring the whole of the Inishowen peninsular. Would love to go back again.
This break was my first time travelling alone and to get rest to recuperate - this cottage; the welcome by the owner and standard of finish and facilities - were perfect in every way.
Very comfortable and well finished.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to friends and family.
The location was ideal for us, quiet and remote but within easy reach of the beach and many local attractions. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. The hot water and heating system was a little quirky but well explained and easy to use. When we had a problem with the toilet flush, Fiona was very easy to get hold of, helpful and quickly made arrangements for it to be fixed. We would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and family and come back here ourselves.
Perhaps not too good for the infirm as the bar stools by the kitchen counter were rather high and there was no other chair anywhere apart from the two sofas so eating was difficult. But that was us rather than the cottage anyone younger would be fine. The decoration was tastefully done and Fiona and William were very supportive with our minor problems of working the Sky TV and the ultra modern electric cooker. We cook with gas at home and don't have Sky so these were complicated and the instructions had been lost. On the whole a lovely base to visit this area which has plenty of interest for photographers. If we weren't so old we would be back!
This is a brilliant little cottage, just right for two people. The kitchen is well fitted and the bathroom is so spacious. Wonderful roll top bath and large walk in shower cubicle. Very comfortable sofa's and the bed is really comfy too, mattress a little too soft for us but that is merely personal preference as we normally have a fairly hard mattress at home - didn't stop us sleeping extremely well though!
A luxury thatched cottage situated on a quiet lane, close to the town of Carndonagh, County Donegal.
This superbly presented semi-detached cottage is situated next to a 3 bedroom holiday home and is an idyllic haven for couples looking for a unique romantic break.
Furnished to a high standard, this cottage near Carndonagh is surprisingly spacious and has been lovingly renovated to provide contemporary fittings combined with traditional aspects that won't fail to charm you and your loved one.
Relax in the beautiful sitting room in front of the multi-fuel stove and enjoy a glass of bubbly or enjoy a soak in the sumptuous roll-top bath; what a way to unwind!
This cottage is situated a mile from the amenities of the town, including a variety of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy.
Just a short drive away from this cottage are the picturesque golden sands of Malin Head, Ireland's most northerly location, which is perfect for a late evening stroll as the sun sets.
The Inishowen Peninsula is renowned for its natural habitats and birdwatchers and walkers will love the sweeping hills with far-reaching views at every turn!
There are a variety of festivals and events across the peninsula from traditional music to fishing!
Visit the towns of Buncrana and Letterkenny for a wide range of amenities including good restaurants, and the European City of Culture for 2013, Derry, is right on the doorstep and is not to be missed!
Adrenaline junkies can try their hands at watersports or explore the glorious coastline from the saddle for a different perspective on this beautiful landscape.
All this before returning to the style and comfort of your lavish Carndonagh cottage, a great choice at any time of year!
Note: The property can be booked with Ref. 936116, together they sleep 8.
All ground floor. One super king-size double bedroom. Bathroom with roll-top bath, separate shower, basin and WC. Kitchen with breakfast bar. Sitting room with multi-fuel stove.
Malin Head 12 miles; Buncrana 12 miles; Derry 22 miles.
Situated on the Inishowen Peninsula in North Donegal lies the small, pretty town of Carndonagh. Only a stone's throw from the shores of Trawbeaga Bay, Carndonagh is home to the site of the Donagh Cross, which was once part of an early Christian monastery founded by the patron Saint Patrick. Boasting a lovely selection of cafes, pubs and shops, the town also has a strong reputation for traditional music and culture with many musicians, artists and writers making it their home. Within a short distance from Carndonagh are some superb beaches and ideal family spots at Culdaff, Kinnagoe Bay and Five Fingers strand to name a few, Ballyliffin golf course and Malin Head, Ireland's most northern point.


Let's start with a brief explanation of DNS. DNS stands for Domain Name System. It converts human readable domain names like example.com into IP addresses like 208.77.188.166 which computers can then read. DNS zone files reside on your server and tie domain names with IP addresses.
Most users do not need to modify their DNS settings. The most common reason for DNS changes are to route a certain part of your domain name to a a third party (not our servers).
Shared users can add A records in your cPanel. You can create and point subdomains to an IP address using the Simple DNS Zone Editor. You will need to first obtain the IP address from the host where you want to point the subdomain to.
Click the Simple Zone Editor icon located in the Domains area of cPanel.
Select your domain from the drop down menu (if you have more than one domain entered in your cPanel). The editor will load new options which allows you to add an A record. Under the Add an A Record header fill in the subdomain and IP address you want to point your subdomain to.
Finally, click the Add A Record button and you will now see the subdomain an corresponding IP address listed under User Defined Records at the bottom of the screen.
Please note: You will not be able to create or modify an A Record for your domain name or any subdomains that are already created and reserved when your account is setup on the server. You can only create an A record for newly created subdomains. If you try to create an A Record on a reserved subdomain (for example mail, webmail, and cpanel), cPanel will give an error message. In order to edit or remove a reserved subdomain, you will need to use the Advanced DNS Zone Editor.
Note, with all DNS changes, including adding or changing A records, please allow up to 24 hours for changes to take effect.
VPS and Dedicated plans include a feature in WHM for editing DNS Zones for all cpanel accounts on the server. (looking for a VPS? Find one on sale). This editor provides greater control over DNS records than the Simple and Advanced DNS Zone editor in cPanel. It allows other record types such as SRV, MX, PTR, and NS records These are not as common and thus are not in the cPanel level tools.
Note, as above, please allow up to 24 hours for your DNS changes to take effect.

A study presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2012 annual meeting reports that severity and death rates are increasing in pregnant and postpartum women with sepsis. More than 30 percent of mothers who develop sepsis will experience some type of organ dysfunction.
About 1:100,000 will die from sepsis during hospitalization for childbirth.
Precautions should be taken to avoid any infection, such as washing hands frequently, avoiding sick contacts and reporting any illness immediately. Clinical signs of sepsis include: low temperature, fever, rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, rapid breathing rate, low oxygen level, changes in mental status and decreased urine output. Any patient with symptoms of this type or overall malaise should seek help from her health care provider.
"Identifying the incidence and understanding the key risk factors for maternal sepsis will increase health care providers' and the general public's knowledge, encourage education and promote increased surveillance surrounding this important public health issue," Dr. Bauer concluded.

On Friday afternoon, the price for one tael at Vietnam's biggest gold firm Sai Gon Jewellery Company (SJC) gold was sold at about 45.68 million VND (1,970.2 USD), an increase of VNĐ630,000 from yesterday.— Photo thanhnien.vn
Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The domestic gold price soared on February 21 while global prices hit a seven-year peak amid the ongoing novel coronavirus outbreak.
On February 21 afternoon, the price for one tael at Vietnam's biggest gold firm Sai Gon Jewellery Company (SJC) gold was sold at about 45.68 million VND (1,970.2 USD), an increase of 630,000 VND from the previous day.
Similar increases were also recorded at large gold firms Bao Tin Minh Chau and Doji.
Compared to the beginning of the week, prices for each tael of gold have increased more than 1 million VND.
On the global gold exchange Kitco, the precious metal gained nearly 3 percent within the week to reach 1,633.7 USD per ounce (1,968 USD per tael) on the same day.
According to Reuters, gold prices hit their highest level for seven years and also had their best week in more than six months as demand for the safe-haven asset increased after a spike in coronavirus cases.
In the local market, Bao Tin Minh Chau Gold Firm in Hanoi recorded more gold transactions on February 21 with 55 percent of buyers and 45 percent of sellers. The firm said on its website: "It is a good time for investors to trade gold to make a profit."
However, many gold traders on Ha Trung street, a well-known place that trades gold and foreign currencies in the capital, did not see much difference in the number of customers buying gold.
An employee from Hong Phat gold shop on the street who wished to remain anonymous told Viet Nam News that "they (gold investors) changed a lot. They used to shop for gold whenever the prices were higher."
"Our business declined much after Tet and also because of the epidemic. No one wants to buy anything," she added.
The same day, one of the country's biggest gold and jewellery firms Phu Nhuan Jewellery reported a reduction of 32 percent in revenue in January compared to last year.
A press release from the firm blamed the decline on higher gold prices and the coronavirus./.

Leading Australian health informatics company, Alcidion Corporation, has raised $1.5 million from Blue Sky Private Equity, Allure Capital and Alcidion co-founders Ray Blight and Malcolm Pradhan to fund the next stage of its expansion.
In 2012, Alcidion was backed by a $2.4 million investment by a fund managed by Blue Sky Private Equity, which helped fund the development of its clinical decision support 'Miya' platform.
Designed for emergency departments, patient flow and outpatient services, Miya couples a holistic patient profile with customised best practice modules. The unique combination helps clinical and allied health staff maximise efficiencies, avoid clinical errors and reduce costs.
Miya has gone live in several sites, including three Western Health hospitals in Victoria. Alcidion has since been awarded significant contracts to deploy the platform at the Departments of Health in Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
Alcidion's Chief Executive and former Chair of the SA Health Commission, Ray Blight, said real-time clinical decision support was one of the most critical challenges facing hospitals.
"As the healthcare industry evolves, hospitals and clinicians need high-precision, high-value decision support at the point-of-care. Health IT will play an integral role in sustainable health care delivery," Mr Blight said.
"Our customers are excited about using the Miya platform as an enterprise decision-support solution. They have the flexibility to add incremental modules without the burden of costly and cumbersome implementation processes or the need to purchase different departmental products.".
Alexander McNab, Director at Blue Sky Private Equity, said increasing pressures were being placed on healthcare around the world as our population grows and ages.
"The only way hospitals, clinicians and carers can work sustainably is by using innovative technology to help increase productivity and improve quality of care," Mr McNab said.
Blue Sky is investing alongside technology entrepreneur Nathan Buzza, who has helped develop global clinical middleware solutions, and his private equity firm Allure Capital.
Mr Buzza said over the last 25 years he had come across a lot of technologies which were either poorly implemented or did not hit the mark, but Alcidion stood out from the healthcare technology crowd.
"One of the greatest challenges in healthcare is providing a high quality of interoperability with the myriad of clinical systems that are installed throughout the global healthcare ecosystem, and that's what Alcidion has done exceptionally well with the Miya platform," Mr Buzza said.
Blue Sky Private Equity is a division of Blue Sky Alternative Investments.
Alcidion is a leading provider of intelligent informatics for high performance healthcare that empowers clinicians with decision support tools to ensure the highest quality of care for their patients.
By providing clinicians with decision support tools and making recommendations about patient care, patient flow and patient safety the organisational efficiency may be optimised and key clinical risks eliminated.
Blue Sky Alternative Investments Limited (Blue Sky) (ASX:BLA) is a leading diversified alternative investment asset manager.
Blue Sky was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in January 2012 and is the only listed fund manager in Australia focused on a diversified portfolio of alternative assets.

Gradič Češnjice (nemško »Kherstettn«, »Kherstetten« in tudi »Liechteneck«, »Lichtenegg«) je nekoč stal na robu naselja Češnjice pri Moravčah. Dvorec zgrajen v začetku 16. stoletja na mestu prejšnjega dvora je bil prepuščen v ruševine konec 2. svetovne vojne, v kateri je bil požgan. Na njegovem mestu stoji zasebna hiša.

Zgodovina

Dvor Češnjice je izpričan v listini že leta 1400, ko je bil v lasti  Celjskih grofov. Tedaj ga je grof Herman II. Celjski podelil v fevd Ruedleinu Seitscherju. Po Valvasorju naj bi gradič po letu 1500 (po nekaterih ocenah okoli leta 1550) pozidali gospodje Galli z  Rožeka, na mestu nekdanjega dvora omenjenega v fevdni knjigi in urbarju Celjskih grofov. Bratje Andrej, Krištof, Martin, Rudolf, Jošt Jožef in Sigfrid Galli, ki so takrat še bili na Rožeku, so gradič leta 1593 prodali Viljemu Gallu. Na gradiču je med leti 1586 -1592 bival navdušen protestant Andrej Gall (takrat stotnik gorenjske četrti), ki se je s kranjskimi strelci boril proti Turkom v letih 1592-96 v Bihaču, Petrinji in Sisku. Njegovega bratranca Janža Daniela Galla so takrat Turki ujeli pri Bihaču in ga leta 1594 usmrtili v Beogradu. Po Viljemovi smrti sta postala lastnika Češnjic spet brata Rudolf in Sigfrid pl. Galla, ki sta gradič leta 1605 (in ne leta 1612 kot poroča Valvasor.)   prodala plemiču luteranu Samuelu Hasiberu. Njemu je sledil sin Melhior, leta 1672 pa vnuk Ferdinand Ernest. Ko je poslednji moški potomec te družine Ignac Karel umrl, ga je leta 1748 podedovala Marija Ana Hasiber, poročena Segalla. Nato je 1785  postala lastnica dvorca njena vnukinja Antonija Moitelle.  Ta ga je leta 1802 prodala Joahimu Ignacu Steinu.   Nato je dvorec hitro menjaval lastnike in sicer dr. Leopolda Baumgartnerja, Ignaca Scarijo, Ferdinanda pl. Gorup – Bežanec  in leta 1842 upravitelj gospostva Dol, Gašper Brvar, ki ga je leta 1852 prodal dr. Juriju Wurzbachu pl. Tannenbergu iz Preddvora. Nasledil ga je Maksimilijan Wurzbach pl. Tannenberg in nato leta 1917 dežela Kranjska. Leta 1921 ga je ponovno odkupil Artur Wurzbach, ki pa ga je prodal davčnemu uradniku Primcu. Rodbina Primc iz Ljubljane je leta 1938 že propadajoč dvorec prodala občini Moravče, ki je dve leti kasneje v njem uredila sirotišnico. V začetku maja 1943 so dvorec požgali partizani, da se v dvorec ne bi vselila nemška policija. Kasneje je v kleti bila partizanska bolnišnica Ribnik. Po koncu vojne so okoliški kmetje ruševine dvorca uporabili kot gradbeni material.

Q: Trying to read xml from a file not ending with .xml I am trying to read xml from a sport odds feed, but I can't get it to work.
I am using xmlReader.Create(url), but all I get is a data at the root level is invalid-error.
This is what the code look like:
        XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("http://www.bet-at-home.com/oddxml.aspx");

        while (reader.Read())
        {

            if ((reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) && (reader.Name == "oo"))
            {
                //bla bla
            }
        }

A: You need to make an httprequest to get the data. You can't just feed that method a url and expect it to treat it like a local file. First make an http request and save the the response in a string then you can process that like an xml. Here's a link to the HttpWebRequest for .NET http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.aspx

A: This is just a hunch, but if you try to access that URI more frequently than 60 seconds, you get the following message returned:
`Please use a minimum interval of 60 sec (please wait for 10,65625 sec).`

Since this response is clearly not XML, the XmlReader can't do anything with it.
I'm able to successfully run your code as long as there's 60 seconds or more between connections.
A couple of things to add:

*

*Your if condition is not going to get the nodes you are looking for - XML is case-sensitive.  It should be like this:
if ((reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) && (reader.Name == "OO"))

*LINQ to XML would be an easier (in my mind) way of doing this:
LINQ to XML Example
using System.Xml.Linq;

// This loads the XML from the specified URI into the XDocument
XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load("http://www.bet-at-home.com/oddxml.aspx");

// This query will return a collection of all the "OO" elements (and their children)
var oo = from x in xDoc.Descendants("OO")
         select x;

// You can iterate through this collection and do what you want
foreach (XElement ele in oo)
{
    // do something with each OO group
}

Alternatively, you could return an anonymous type (or a defined type) from the query. For example:
var oo = from x in xDoc.Descendants("OO")
         select new
         {
             Sport = x.Element("Sport").Value,
             Category = x.Element("Category").Value,
             Tournament = x.Element("Tournament").Value,
             Date = x.Element("Date").Value
             // and so on
         };

You would then have a collection of these anonymous types that you could iterate through.
If you had a class defined that you wanted to hold data in (say BettingOdds), you'd simply use that instead and the select new line would become select new BettingOdds.
Note that you'll need to check to ensure that the elements you're referring to exist, otherwise you'll get a null reference exception.
There's a ton of examples on what you can do with LINQ to XML on the internet - here's an example - LINQ To XML Tutorials with Examples

Science explains why surprise brings us pleasure
Taryn Hillin
If you're reading this sentence, you just won $1,000.
April Fools! You didn't win anything, but if you had, you'd feel incredible. In fact, even if you'd won $1, you'd feel pretty great, simply because the prize was unexpected.
Why get excited over something so small? It's less about the money and more about the act of being surprised. In honor of April Fool's Day we reached out to two surprise experts (yes, that's a thing)—Tania Luna and LeeAnn Renninger, authors of the new book Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected—to break down the science of surprise. Here's what we learned.
Surprise brings us pleasure.
Notice how an unexpected flower delivery brings you more joy than buying the flowers yourself? Or how chocolates received as a gift taste better? This is because being surprised activates the pleasure centers in our brain and gives us a nice shot of dopamine, which makes experiences more enjoyable.
To demonstrate this, researchers from Emory University split study participants into two groups. One group received a squirt of fruit juice into their mouths at predictable intervals, while the other group received juice shots randomly. MRI scans revealed that the group that received the juice at unpredictable moments exhibited more activity in the reward center of their brain.
Surprise improves our romantic relationships.
Ever heard the saying "surprise is the spice of life"? Well, that's definitely true when it comes to romantic relationships. Studies have shown that when people are bored in their relationship they become less attracted to each other. Adding the element of surprise can rekindle the lost spark.
"Romantic relationships need the perfect balance of surprise and predictability," said Luna. "While a sense of safety and comfort is important to release oxytocin (the cuddle chemical) and build trust, too much predictability is a romance killer. Surprise, mystery, and anticipation boost our dopamine levels, which triggers attraction and excitement."
Surprise helps us learn.
Studies have shown that surprise actually drives the motivation to learn and is an important tool in cognitive development. The act of being surprised means we were unaware that something—the thing that surprised us—existed at all, which then makes us wonder, how?
"Surprise is the ultimate feedback mechanism," said Renninger. "It teaches us that we were wrong. Things didn't go as we expected."
More specifically, she said that surprise is your brain's way of alerting you to pay attention, which in turn activates curiosity, excitement, and wonder—key elements to absorbing information. Not only that, "Surprise also builds new neural pathways in our brains, leading us to think more flexibly and creatively," she said.
Surprise feeds our novelty bias.
As humans, are brains are hardwired to enjoy new experiences. This is why a new car, a new boyfriend, even a new text are all exciting in the beginning. "FMRI research shows that we process new stimuli differently than stimuli we've seen just one other time," said Luna. In fact, when new stimuli are involved, our brain releases more dopamine, once again giving us a shot of pleasure. Surprise, by definition, feeds off our love for the unexpected.
Surprise intensifies our emotions.
As we all know, not all surprises are created equal—nor do they have a happy ending—so our brains don't necessarily love all surprises, but they do take all surprises seriously. "Surprises point us to dangers, opportunities, and new information," said Renninger. "Research shows that surprise intensifies our emotions by about 400 percent, which explains why we love positive surprises and hate negative surprises." This is why an unexpected proposal feels like the greatest moment of your life, but an unexpected firing can feel like the lowest.
Surprise demands our attention.
Surprise demands that we pay attention to whatever stimuli is surprising us, in part because we don't know what it is. "Surprise hijacks all of our mental processes and pulls our focus into one thing," said Luna at a TEDx talk. Not only that, by forcing our attention, surprise brings us into the present. Other studies back this up as well, finding that surprise makes people more aware of their surroundings. And it's linked to the release of noradrenaline, a hormone and neurotransmitter responsible for vigilant concentration.
Surprise improves our mental health.
As we mentioned, surprise triggers the release of dopamine, a chemical that can do wonders for our brain, including stave off bad feelings. "When we invite surprise into our lives on a regular basis, we elevate our mood," said Luna. Not only that, she says we build a tolerance for uncertainty, which in turn reduces anxiety.
All of these factors help our mental health, even reducing depression. "When it comes to depression in particular, surprise has a way of interrupting unhealthy rumination patterns, opening the door to new thoughts and behaviors," said Luna.
Being in awe, a type of surprise, is good for you.
A recent study from University of California, Berkeley found that those people who experience more awe in their life—a type of surprise experienced when we find something impressive or powerful—may be healthier. Specifically, the researchers found that the "awe" group had lower levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a chemical that promotes inflammation, in their bodies. Lower levels of IL-6 is a good thing.
Renninger said the feeling of awe slows down our feeling of time and makes us more helpful to others. Not too shabby.

Some cases of civil war receive far more attention than others, both in academic research and policy analysis. Malaya, Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam come to mind. In South Asia, Kashmir, the LTTE in Sri Lanka, and bits and pieces of the Maoist and TTP insurgency have received some real attention. Even within these cases, it's important to note that there is a huge amount of selectiveness – there is far more on Kashmiri militancy than either civil society or party politics, for instance,.
There are numerous other cases without even selective attention – they might show up without much detail in cross-national datasets or be occasionally referenced in secondary sources or get some International Crisis Group reports, but otherwise have not been the focus of sustained research. What are some of these cases that have gone missing in the study of South Asia (at least among political scientists of conflict)? In other words, where might ambitious grad students, analysts, journalists, etc direct their attention?
The JVP revolts. I've written a bunch on this blog about the two JVP rebellions (1971, 1987-1990), and I'm working on 2 projects involving the JVP – one just about the case, the other a broader study of revolutionary insurgencies in democracies. Ultra-radical ideology, targeting of first mainstream politics and then the security forces, efforts at grafting international ideological currents onto local politics.
Manipur. Numerous armed groups, large-scale corruption, security forces operating with little oversight from the "mainland" Indian public, porous borders, widespread extortion, inter-insurgent competition and collusion, etc. It has it all, but is very very hard to study. John Parratt has a book on its conflict, but for the most part it is simply folded into much broader overviews of the Northeast.
The 1980s-1990s Naxalites. There is some solid work on the 1967-1972 period, and then a lot of recent stuff on the post-2004 rise of the Naxalites. But the long intervening decades are substantially less studied, despite their obvious importance in explaining how a seemingly-crushed movement was able to survive and revive.
Balochistan. For unsurprising reasons (i.e. the Pakistani state/military), this is something of an empirical black hole. I don't know how much research we will ever see on the conflict, especially historical work that can get into the weeds on past decades. Yet there have been multiple armed groups, recurrent military offensives and military governance, extensive ethnic and sectarian violence, etc in the region.
Shan State. Everything about insurgents, militias, the military, private armies, local politics (electoral and otherwise), cross-border flows of various resources, drug lords, etc. in Shan State. Full stop.
Chittagong Hills/Bangladesh more broadly. I've been able to find relatively little analytical work on the various insurgent groups and military operations, as well as regional political parties, Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts.
And Bangladesh in general receives far less research than India, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka, despite its size and the variety of political processes within it (how many political scientists studying Bangladesh – a country of 156 million people – as their main case are at top. . . . 500 political science departments or policy schools?). Armed political parties, insurgents, jihadists, and a frequently praetorian military should provide rich terrain for research.
The Indian Punjab. There have been numerous studies of the macro-politics of the Punjab conflict. But we know a shockingly small amount about the various actual insurgent groups that operated in the conflict; like Manipur and Balochistan, the fragmentation and opacity of specific organizations creates real research challenges. This seems like an area where a researcher with good contacts in the pro-Khalistan diaspora could make a real contribution.
So – go study these places!
I don't research Indian elections, other than the violent ones, but I try to keep a close eye on north Indian politics in particular. Here are two pieces I've found particularly useful over the past couple weeks.
As the Samajwadi Party comes apart in father-son, feuding, this is Neha Dixit's Caravan profile of the son, Akhilesh Yadav. It's very long but well worth reading.
Christophe Jaffrelot argues in The Indian Express that India's "jobless growth" will drive escalating demands for caste-based quotas, which in turn cannot actually solve the underlying political-economic problem. India risks growth without jobs, and demographic expansion without a sufficiently skilled and educated labor force. The implications for political stability over the long run are quite ominous.
