What if the Star of David Could Speak?
Jewish-American Artist Marc Bennett Brings The History of the Star of David to Life Through Art.
Jewish identity has been the subject of many artists' work. Chagall used color and light to illuminate the journey of the Jewish people through the ages. Nevelson's sculptural homage paid an emotional tribute to the six million Holocaust victims. Today, visual artist and filmmaker Marc Bennett continues this tradition by asking the question, "What if the Star of David could speak?" Bennett created The History of the Star of David artwork to serve as a time capsule that invites us to discover the centuries-long evolution of Judaism's iconic star. A symbol that bore witness to the depths and heights of Jewish culture over thousands of years. "The History of the Star of David speaks volumes for the Jewish nation. Bennett, has created a profound and colorful artistic vehicle to educate children, as well as adults, about Jewish history, culture and identity through the evolution of the Magen David, one of the most recognizable, yet least understood symbols on the planet," remarks Nurit Greenger, executive director, Western Civilization Heritage, Israel Program Center.
Bennett's collage traces the evolution of the Star of David, from its first known use through its most recent appearance on the flag of the State of Israel. The History of the Star of David artwork features 18 Star of David images meticulously selected for their historical significance and story-telling. One of the earliest known uses of the Star of David is a decorative stone carving from the synagogue in Capernaum, found near the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The ruins of this building are among the oldest synagogues in the world and at the time the Star of David was not an exclusively Jewish symbol. The third star pictured in Bennett's work highlights Theodor Herzl's role in the formation of the Jewish nation. He is considered to have been the father of modern political Zionism and promoted Jewish migration to Israel in an effort to form a Jewish state.
The seventh star pictured in the collage marks the beginning of one of the darkest chapters in Jewish history. This image shows a detail of the chuppa stone (wedding stone) from a beautiful baroque synagogue built in 1726 in Altenkunstadt, Germany. For more than 200 years this synagogue was the cultural center of the Jewish municipality until "Kristallnacht" (Night of Broken Glass, November 1938) when a series of coordinated attacks, carried out by the Nazi party left Jewish homes, schools, and businesses in ruins. In 1988, the wedding stone of the Altenkunstadt synagogue was replaced, funded by the local community, with the hope of keeping the memory of Jewish culture alive. The last image depicted shows the Israeli flag flying proudly during the Six-Day War in 1967. Here we witness the true birth of a symbol as we see the same six-pointed star that was once used as a sign of exclusion, humiliation and murder becoming a symbol of national rebirth, unity and the essence of Jewish history and cultural pride.
Bennett originally created The History of the Star of David artwork as a gift donated in conjunction with congregants Judi and Alan Altman to Rabbi Mendel Mintz to mark the opening of The Aspen Jewish Community Center. As the artwork was being installed several members of the JCC became intrigued with the imagery and began asking about it. Rabbi Mintz quickly realized, that Bennett's art could be used as a teaching tool to educate his community on the long and storied history of the Jewish people. This led to the artist conducting talks, which captivated both children and adults by illuminating their shared history. "The History of the Star of David brings to life our rich history, triumphs, and struggles, as well as our promising and vibrant future. It evokes a sense of survival and determination, as well as a celebration of Jewish culture, tradition and faith," recalls Rabbi Mintz. Since then, Bennett's artwork has created something of a movement, inspiring many notable Jewish centers to invite him to share his artwork with their followers. A number of prestigious institutions have acquired pieces from Bennett's series including: Yad Vashem, the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, Sinai Temple Los Angeles, the Aspen Jewish Community Center, the Jona Goldrich Center for Digital Storytelling at USC Shoah Foundation - The Institute for Visual History and Education, Soroka Medical Center, and others.
In the spirit of tzedakah (charitable giving) Marc Bennett has joined forces with Soroka Medical Center, Israel's most strategic hospital. Located in Be'er Sheva, Soroka provides state-of-the-art medical care for the Negev's 1.2 million residents living in Israel's most diverse region. The hospital treats people from all walks of life regardless of income, race, religion, or politics. Through this collaboration, 10 percent of all History of the Star of David art sales worldwide will be donated to Soroka in perpetuity. "This is a significant opportunity for Soroka Medical Center that will support our life-saving mission. The artwork's intrinsic optimism for the future reflects Soroka's current strategic role for the State of Israel, enabling the transformative development of the Negev region," remarks Dr. Shlomi Codish Director General for Soroka Medical Center. Limited edition prints signed by the artist make an unforgettable gift for weddings, anniversaries, High Holy Days, and Hanukkah. Aside from being a wonderful compliment to any décor, these limited edition prints pay tribute to the deep history and pride of the Jewish people, while providing funds to support Soroka's life-saving work. Bennett's beautifully finished ready to hang metal prints and paper prints are available in various sizes perfect for the home, office, or institution and are available for purchase at www.StarofDavidArt.com.
Marc Bennett's The History of the Star of David is an artwork that is immediately engaging, drawing the viewer into its world on many levels. "Bennett's artwork combines the pop sensibility of Andy Warhol with the mythological references and bold colors of Marc Chagall," remarks Arthur Chabon architect for The Aspen Jewish Community Center. Bennett's careful selection and juxtaposition of the images of the Star of David establishes a stimulating narrative and visual rhythm. More than mere art, The History of the Star of David educates and inspires meaningful dialogue on the trails of the past, while challenging us to confront the issues Jews face globally at present. "The History of the Star of David transcends cultural barriers with its message of perseverance in overcoming adversity. I believe it will quickly become a cultural landmark that will uplift all who view it, serving as a beacon of life and hope," states Ambassador Dani Dayan, Consul General of Israel in New York. Bennett's work evokes a sense of survival and determination, which is a message that is more relevant than ever.
Marc Bennett is an artist and filmmaker born in Brooklyn, NY, now residing in Aspen, CO. Bennett's artwork has been used in campaigns to fundraise and elevate awareness for numerous organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and the Museum of Tolerance. Bennett's current directorial projects include; The Tattooed Torah, featuring Ed Asner's voice narrating the renowned children's book, and Ride for the Living, an inspirational story about the annual bike ride from Auschwitz to the JCC Krakow, Poland. Bennett is committed to using art and film as visual languages that entertain, educate, enlighten, and inspire positive change worldwide.

Derek Ciapala and Norm Hightower break down the Los Angeles Rams' visit to Denver with Blitzed NFL Radio's Stats Guy. They discuss the problems going on with the Broncos, look at how the teams match up on the field, and debate where the Rams are right now.
Listen to "Ep. 2018:87 – Week 6 L.A. Rams – Denver Broncos Preview Ft. Blitzed NFL Radio" on Spreaker.


Now that the quarterback rankings are out there for the world to read, it's time to move on to their targets; the wide receivers. Wideouts have become the new running backs in many ways. They are the high scoring players on many teams, both real and in fantasy football. If your team is weak at receiver, then you are probably going to get trounced in your match-ups so pay attention to our 2016 fantasy football wide receiver PPR rankings.
Antonio Brown grabs the top spot among wide receivers.
It would be difficult for me to accept any argument for a different number one wide receiver. The only valid concern here is really the health of Ben Roethlisberger as he is the key to Brown's uber-elite status. As long as Roethlisberger is on the field Brown is my number one and it is not even close.
Unlike the number 1 spot, I had to give this one quite a bit of consideration. I think that Beckham may be the most talented receiver in the league, but opponents can get into his head. This has led to a couple of clunkers. For the most part, elite production can be expected from OBJ on a weekly basis and that makes him my number 2.
Jones was right in the running for my second spot as I think that he will be big time this season. Last year, Matt Ryan had a bad season and Jones was still one of the better options available. If Ryan can bounce back this year, look for Jones to be at least top three with an almost limitless ceiling.
Hopkins was able to thrive last season with suspect quarterback play. The quarterback is still a bit of a question this season, as Osweiler is largely untested. One thing that is not a question however, is the skill level of Hopkins. He will be elite once again, no matter who is throwing the passes. (This is assuming that the Texans don't sign Johnny Manziel or Michael Vick in the next month).
I don't think that A.J. Green gets enough respect for being a top level receiver. His quarterback is not elite, but the combo of Green and Dalton have put up some monster games. This is a guy who single-handedly can win a match-up in any given week. I think that he has a huge season and is a top-five receiver.
Don't look at me like that Dez, your situation is not ideal so your ranking falls.
Bryant is as good as any receiver in the league, but the Cowboys should look to run the ball a TON this season. Tony Romo cannot take too many more hits and the 'Boys drafted an absolute stud running back in the first round. Bryant will make a lot of plays, but in the end he will not have as many opportunities as some of the top tier receivers.
Assuming that Nelson and Rodgers get back on the same page quickly, the two of them are nearly unstoppable. Nelson is another player like A.J. Green who may be overlooked by the casual fan. Anyone who has had Nelson on a fantasy team knows his value and he should easily be a top 10 receiver this season.
I was not a believer that Robinson could be a big time receiver coming out of college, but boy has he shut me up. Robinson is big and strong and he is capable of making plays that few receivers can. With another year of development for Robinson and Blake Bortles, the duo should be putting up some serious numbers this season.
Allen is going to see a crazy amount of targets from Philip Rivers this season and that translates to a tone of points in PPR. Travis Benjamin's arrival in San Diego is finally going to open up some room for Allen to operate. The fact that he will not be double teamed on every play will mean good things in the points department. Look for Allen to surprise some people this season.
Jeffery is a dynamic receiver who is capable of going the distance at any time. He also plays in a mediocre offense with a turnover prone quarterback. If Cutler can get his head together this season then this ranking could be a bit low, but how many times have people said "if Cutler can get his head together".
So there are the early rankings for wide receivers. Be sure to keep an eye on injury reports and preseason position battles as always. Good luck with the draft and stick around for my running back and tight end fantasy football rankings later this week.

Q: Templates. No type know during compile time Probably noob question. I wish to use CImg library to make some processing of images. How ever some of them may be type of  (8 bit) and some of them  (16 bit). Unfortunately I don't know the type of data until user don't pick file to process. Of course I can do like this:
...
CImg <unsigned char> img_unisgned_char;
CImg <unsigned short> img_unisgned_short;
...
if (user_pick_8bit) img_unisgned_char.load_raw(fname,img_size_x,img_size_y);
if (user_pick_16bit) img_unisgned_short.load_raw(fname,img_size_x,img_size_y);
...

But 99% of CImg methods looks exactly the same for 'unsigned char','int' or 'float' type (like 'load_raw' or 'blur' for example). Is there any way to make - I don't know - pointer? - so when user pick the file I can make magic like:
if (user_pick_8_bit) img = img_unisgned_char;
if (user_pick_16bit) img = img_unisgned_short;
...
//now no mother of what type is picked up by user I simply make:
img.load_raw(...);

A: You certainly can do that if class template CImg<T> has a parent class.  But you will find that the set of actions you can take without knowing the pixel type is limited to things like load and save.  In order to operate on the image contents you will need to keep the concrete image objects around.
class CImgBase
{
    // Functions that do not reference the pixel type can go here.
    virtual void load_raw(...) = 0;  // agnostic of pixel type
};

// CImg implements CImgBase interface
template<typename T>
class CImg : public CImgBase
{
    void load_raw(...);
    T get_pixel(int x, int y);
};

A: Many methods of the CImg class template depend on the T parameter, so even if non dependent operations were abstracted to a superclass, many parts of code using the library would end up depending on that type too anyway. A significant portion of the interface seems to use the Tfloat datatype, so there might be a way to make a suoerclass having only non dependent methods, which could be useable somewhat.
Perhaps the following could work:
class SuperCimg  {
 public:
    // expose the non dependent methods as virtual pure
    virtual Tfloat linear_atX( /* ... */ ) = 0;
    // etc.
};

template <typename T>
class DependentCimg : public virtual SuperCimg, public virtual Cimg<T> {
   // expose the needed constructors and methods
   public:
   Tfloat linear_atX( /* ... */) {
        return Cimg<T>::linear_atX( /* ... */ );
    }
};

But as you can see, the implementation is tedious, since it requires to redefine all the interface. Also, every method will end up being virtual, which will have an impact at run time (maybe this is the reason why implementors did not make a superclass).
Another possible way of handling the problem is to make every algorithms of your application as polymorphic on that type, and slice the most dependent parts out to specific classes which would be used as template arguments to your algorithms (a bit like allocator, comparator, and others configurable parts of the std library templates are made arguments of these templates).

A: Thanks "madcoder" and "didierc". I found both your answers quite useful. I end up with something like this:
#include <CImg.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace cimg_library;

class cimg_base
{
 public:
 virtual int load_bmp(const char *const filename) = 0;
 virtual int save_bmp (const char *const filename) = 0;
 virtual void blur (const float sigma) = 0;
 virtual void sharpen (const float amplitude) = 0;
};

class cimg_unsigned_char : public cimg_base
{
 CImg <unsigned char> img;
 int load_bmp (const char *const filename) { img.load_bmp(filename); return 0;}
 int save_bmp (const char *const filename) { img.save_bmp(filename); return 0;}
 void blur (const float sigma) { img.blur(sigma); }
 void sharpen (const float amplitude) { img.sharpen(amplitude); };
};

class cimg_unsigned_short : public cimg_base
{
 CImg <unsigned short> img;
 int load_bmp (const char *const filename) { img.load_bmp(filename); return 0;}
 int save_bmp (const char *const filename) { img.save_bmp(filename); return 0;}
 void blur (const float sigma) { img.blur(sigma); }
 void sharpen (const float amplitude) { img.sharpen(amplitude); };
};

void main(void)
{
 cimg_base *data;

 LARGE_INTEGER lpFrequency;
 LARGE_INTEGER lpPerformanceCountStart, lpPerformanceCountEnd;
 double Frequency,Start,End;

 // no matter witch line is used - progrm work as expected
 data = new cimg_unsigned_char;
 //data = new cimg_unsigned_short;

 data->load_bmp("test.bmp");
 //measure time with virtual
 QueryPerformanceFrequency(&lpFrequency);
 QueryPerformanceCounter(&lpPerformanceCountStart);

 data->blur(2.2f);
 data->sharpen(2.2f);

 QueryPerformanceCounter(&lpPerformanceCountEnd);
 Frequency = (double)lpFrequency.QuadPart;
 End = (double)lpPerformanceCountEnd.QuadPart;
 Start = (double)lpPerformanceCountStart.QuadPart;
 printf_s("Time (virtual):%lf ms\n",((End - Start) / Frequency)*1000);
 data->save_bmp("output_virt.bmp");

 CImg <unsigned char> img;
 img.load_bmp("test.bmp");

 QueryPerformanceCounter(&lpPerformanceCountStart);

 img.blur(2.2f);
 img.sharpen(2.2f);

 QueryPerformanceCounter(&lpPerformanceCountEnd);
 printf_s("Time (normal):%lf ms\n",((End - Start) / Frequency)*1000);
 img.save_bmp("output_normal.bmp");

 _getch();
}

since output of this program is:
Time (virtual):93.705392 ms
Time (normal):93.705392 ms

I don't think virtual functions are my performance problem (as I understand 'didierc' it will be the problem if I will make huge amount of calls?). Is this solution is somehow "acceptable" or I should not go this way for some reason I don't see now?

Dakotaraptor pulls feathers from Ornithomimus it killed. Art by Emily Willoughby.
ScienceLaelaps
Did Dakotaraptor Really Face Off Against Tyrannosaurus?
By now you've probably heard about the giant "raptor" uncovered in South Dakota. The dinosaur's discovery came as quite a shock. For the past century Tyrannosaurus rex has dominated our imaginations as the sole apex predator of the Hell Creek Formation, but Dakotaraptor steini, as Robert DePalma and coauthors dubbed the dinosaurs, was large enough to compete for flesh with young tyrannosaurs.
With scenes from the Jurassic Park franchise still stomping through our imaginations, it's tempting to pit packs of 18-foot-long Dakotaraptor against the heavyweight champion T. rex, mobbing the bulky carnivore off its kills. DePalma has suggested as much, calling Dakotaraptor "the most lethal thing you can possibly throw into the Hell Creek ecosystem."
But before we get too carried away and start commissioning murals of giant raptors slashing the flesh of Tyrannosaurus Age of Reptiles style, it's worth thinking about what the world of dinosaurs was really like.
The known elements of Dakotaraptor and a reconstructed skeleton. From DePalma et al., 2015.
Dakotaraptor ups the diversity of dinosaurs known from the Hell Creek Formation. It's an increase of one new species. And finding a new species means that there must have been a population of these big dromaeosaurids running around that paleontologists have missed up until now. (Although the idea of cooperative raptor packs rests on only the barest sliver of evidence right now.) But this doesn't mean that where there was Tyrannosaurus, Dakotaraptor followed. What I'm getting at is a concept ecologists call species evenness.
Let's take an avian dinosaur's-eye view of the big Hell Creek Formation carnivores. We'll cover Tyrannosaurus first. This dinosaur is known from about 50 partial-to-nearly-complete skeletons found in rocks between 68 and 66 million years old spanning Saskatchewan to New Mexico, at the very least. Dakotaraptor, on the other hand, is only known from a partial adult individual found near the top of the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota and a smattering of other isolated elements from that area.
The fossil record is biased, of course. What's preserved in the rocks is not a perfect record of life as it once was, and there are various other reasons why Dakotaraptor is so rare. Perhaps the dinosaur was the wrong size to be preserved as often as Tyrannosaurus. Maybe teeth and other pieces of this dinosaur were found before but could not be recognized as belonging to a giant raptor until now. Or the commercial fossil market could have snaffled up some of the relevant bones, making them inaccessible to paleontologists.
Future finds will inform what we know about the abundance and distribution of Dakotaraptor. But what if it took so long to find this predator because it truly was a rare animal with a relatively limited range? In terms of species evenness, in other words, the current spread of what we know is heavily imbalanced. Tyrannosaurus was extremely abundant and widespread while Dakotaraptor seems elusive, even by mid-size dinosaur standards.
This isn't a knock against Dakotaraptor. Quite the opposite. If the dinosaur's rarity isn't stemming from a biased fossil record or a problem with sampling, then Dakotaraptor might eventually yield some new information about Hell Creek Formation ecology.
"Jane" is our best look at a juvenile T. rex. Photo by Brian Switek.
Up until now, Hell Creek Formation carnivores seemed to be widely split. There wasn't a gradient from the small to the gargantuan as there was in the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation, but a wide gap between little nippers like Acheroraptor and the lone giant, Tyrannosaurus. What was in the middle, then, were juvenile Tyrannosaurusjuvenile Tyrannosaurus – lithe, leggy youngsters that had jaws better-suited to stripping flesh than to delivering crushing bites.
Dakotaraptor changes that picture. At least one other mid-sized predator was able to evolve and survive within the domain of Tyrannosaurus. Yet Dakotaraptor may have been so elusive because Tyrannosaurus still maintained a disproportionate presence on the landscape, or perhaps because Dakotaraptor typically lived in upland environments that weren't preserved as often as the wet lowlands Tyrannosaurus frequented. So even though it's possible, even probable, that Dakotaraptor and young Tyrannosaurus faced off over carcasses from time to time, it's not as if Hell Creek Formation time was an era of constant shrieks, roars, and ruffled feathers.
Ceratosaurus was rare compared to Allosaurus. Photo by Brian Switek.
This wouldn't be the first time carnivorous dinosaur tallies have come out uneven. At the Late Jurassic Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, for example, the remains of at least 48 Allosaurus have been uncovered while the same site has yielded only a single Ceratosaurus, a few Torvosaurus bones, and single-digit counts of the medium-sized carnivores Marshosaurus and Stokesosaurus. This pattern holds at a wider, rougher view, as well. Allosaurus was the most common large carnivore of the Morrison Formation with Ceratosaurus trailing behind in count and range, followed by even rarer and more restricted Torvosaurus, Stokesosaurus, and Marshosaurus. So, with a count of at least five, we can say that the upper part of the Morrison Formation had a diverse array of mid- to large-sized carnivorous dinosaurs, but that their numbers were not at all even.
Why different dinosaurs were unevenly spread in a given habitat or formation isn't something that's well-understood. It's difficult to study an ecosystem that's been dead for at least 66 million years. Answers could range from how we sample the fossil record to instances of niche partitioning like habitat preference or seeking particular food sources. There's still plenty of rock to shift and dinosaurs to count. But if we're ever going to fully understand dinosaurs, we need to step back from the carnivore vs. carnivore fights we used to imagine in the sandbox and try to understand them as animals that were each part of ever-shifting ecosystems. Dinosaurs weren't monsters stalking around on unimportant backdrops. The endpoint of raising their bones in the first place is to envision how they fit into lost worlds.

According to flight price trackers, travelers can save up to 44% on plane tickets to New York in January or February. Reports also show that flying into La Guardia Airport versus JFK Airport tends to be cheaper.
January and February are the cheapest months to visit New York for indoor events
The cheapest time to visit New York is in January and February. This is usually the coldest time of the year in New York, with below-freezing temperatures, so tourism is at its lowest point. However, those willing to brave the cold and snowy New York streets in January or February will be treated to reduced plane tickets and hotel pricing.
This can be a great time for indoor activities like visiting museums or catching a Broadway Show without the crowds. It's also great for tours that can be less accessible in busier months, like the New York City Catacombs by Candlelight Tour.

New York is most expensive to visit during the holiday season
The most expensive time to visit New York is the holiday season. The entire month of December is considered the high season, with prices steadily increasing in the days leading up to Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Flying into New York or finding hotel accommodations during the Christmas and New Year's Eve holidays can be difficult and expensive. Tickets to popular shows like the Radio City Christmas Spectacular can also be costly and tend to sell out.
New York's spring and fall offer the most ideal temperatures for outdoor activities
The best season to go to New York is based on personal preference. New York has many different experiences to offer. For some, it may be winter and the holiday season to see the dazzling Christmas Tree and displays of lights at the Rockefeller Center. Others may enjoy spring and New York's famous Cherry Blossom Festival.
Strictly based on weather, spring and fall are regarded as the best seasons in New York. Spring runs through March, April, and May, and temperatures range from 30 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Fall is considered September, October, and November, with temperatures ranging from 40 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Summer runs June, July, and August and is one of the busiest times for vacations
The New York climate lends itself to having two tourist seasons, or high seasons: summer and part of winter (the holiday season). Summer runs June, July, and August and is one of the busiest vacation times since schools are out in the US. Summer is the best time to travel to New York for families visiting with school-aged children. A lot of international travelers also visit New York during the summer.
The second wave of tourists hits New York around the holidays, with December being one of the busiest months in New York. The week of Christmas and New Year's Eve, in particular, is perhaps the most active, with Times Square being packed with people for the holidays.
Tourists in New York often explore the city on foot even in the rain
The rainy season in New York runs from late spring through early summer, with April, May, and June often being the rainiest months. While there are plenty of rainy day activities to do in New York, like museums and shows, most tourists are known to still explore the city on foot with the help of rain gear.
You'll see outdoor attractions, like Times Square and Central Park, filled with tourists in ponchos and rain boots. Short of heavy thunderstorms, rain doesn't seem to slow the city down.
Choosing when to visit New York based on weather, prices, and crowds
BEST TIME TO VISIT TIP 1
Autumn in New York encompasses September, October, and November. Autumn is a good time to visit New York with its crisp, cool temperatures, colorful foliage, and pumpkin-themed everything around the city!
New York in September sees the start of fall with temperatures from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer crowds start to dissipate after Labor Day weekend in early September, and flight and hotel prices come down.
New York in October has temperatures from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It's the month of Halloween, so pumpkin patches and spooky-themed activities are abundant. Known as New York's most haunted neighborhood, Greenwich Village Ghost Tours are wildly popular in October!
New York in November can be chilly, with temperatures from 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Crowds and prices are high, with the New York City Marathon and Thanksgiving both occurring in November. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City is one of the busiest days and kicks off the beginning of the holiday season.
The winter season in New York is December, January, and February. It is marked by shorter days, snowy nights, and lots of holiday festivities! The holiday season in New York is regarded by many as the best time to go to New York.
New York in December has wintery temperatures from 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It's the busiest and most expensive month to visit the city and draws large crowds for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Festivities are everywhere in the city, with holiday-themed events, streets decked out in lights, and holiday window displays in famous New York stores. Christmas Light Tours and Hudson River Holiday Cruises are very popular for Christmas. At the same time, New Year's Eve brings one massive street party to Times Square.
New York in January is often the coldest time of the year, with temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. It's also one of the best times to go if you are hoping to see snow in New York.
While a snow-covered Central Park can be beautiful, many visitors find indoor activities more comfortable on a January day in New York. It's a great time to visit museums without the crowds or take advantage of NYC Broadway Week and catch a show!
New York in February is also quite cold, with temperatures between 30 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit with some snow. So it's a great time to warm up indoors and enjoy the many culinary delights the city offers during NYC Restaurant Week. February is also the time of one of the biggest Chinese New Year celebrations in the US. Colorful floats parade through Chinatown for the Chinese New Year Parade and Festival.
Spring is one of the best times to visit New York, with sunny skies and blooming flowers all around the city. However, it is the start of the rainy season, so visitors should be prepared with rain gear and flexible itineraries.
New York in March has temperatures ranging from 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. While cold, sunny days make the city feel slightly warmer. March is still considered low season, so deals on flights and hotels can be found.
New York in April sees temperatures range from 40 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. By mid-day, it's often warm enough for a pleasant stroll through Central Park or a fun Brooklyn Street Art Walking Tour. Just be prepared for potential rain!
New York in May has temperatures from 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Cherry Blossoms and other flowers are in full bloom, and it's a great time to visit the New York Botanical Garden.
Summer in New York encompasses June, July, and August. It is one of the busiest times for tourism in the city, with families and international travelers coming during summer break. Summer is also the season of New York's famous Shakespeare in the Park, nightly outdoor theater performances.
New York in June has temperatures ranging from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It can be rainy at times but overall still pleasant for exploring the city and outdoor attractions like the Statue of Liberty.
New York in July sees crowds and heat rising, with temperatures climbing to over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The Independence Day holiday (July 4th) has parades and fireworks celebrations and is one of the most expensive times to travel to the city.
New York in August is one of the hottest months, with temperatures in the mid-80s. It can be a great time for a New York Harbor Lunch Cruise or paddleboats in Central Park.
With so many unique things to see and do in New York, it's no wonder it's such a busy place. From the buzz of Times Square to the lights of Broadway, it's always a good time to visit New York!
While the weather and events around the city may change, whichever season you choose to visit will still undoubtedly have that unique New York charisma. Whether you want to see the Statue of Liberty or take guided tours, learn fun facts about the city. New York has it all!

Sandwich makers and waffle irons under threat from mooted UK toxic chemical ban
'Forever chemicals' known as PFAs found in everything from raincoats to food packaging and frying pans
Manufacturers will have to develop new ways of making appliances like waffle irons and toastie makers non-stick, if their use of PFAs is restricted (Photo: Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty)
By Madeleine Cuff
Environment Reporter
March 26, 2021 4:37 pm(Updated 6:03 pm)
Household equipment like toastie makers and waffle irons might disappear from store shelves if manufacturers can't find a way of making them without relying on toxic chemicals.
Most of these appliances rely on a chemical known as PTFE to provide a non-stick surface for the plates.
Earlier this week the Government announced it will investigate the risk posed to public health and the environment by per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances known as PFAS, a family of around 5,000 different chemicals including PTFE.
i's guide to helping the planet in your everyday life
It is the first step in a process that could result in a ban on their use for everything but 'essential' applications.
PFAS are widely used in industry and manufacturing to make non-stick and grease-repellent products, such as waterproof jackets, non-stick cookware, takeaway food packaging, fire-fighting foam and stain-repellent fabrics.
But they are known as 'forever chemicals' because they hardly degrade in the natural environment, leading to ever-increasing pollution levels.
Many are thought to be toxic to humans and wildlife, with two of the most studied chemicals in the family – PFOA and PFOS – found to cause cancer and disrupt foetal development. They have been banned under the Stockholm Convention.
But scientists say the effects of thousands of other PFAS have yet to be studied, and many could well be just as toxic to human health.
What time is Earth Hour 2021 today? When to switch lights off for WWF in the UK – and what the event means
PFAS-free items such as raincoats and frying pans are becoming more common. But in some areas work on safer alternatives is still in its infancy, with some manufacturers "reluctant" to develop PFAS-free solutions unless they are forced to, according to Professor Ian Cousins, environmental chemist at Stockholm University.
He told i that shoppers might struggle to find non-stick appliances such as toasted sandwich makers and waffle makers if manufacturers aren't allowed to use PTFE to make them. A return to traditional iron waffle makers may be on the cards, he said, at least until alternative coatings have been developed.
"Consumers are going to be annoyed because they will have to have less convenient products, that's for sure, if [PFAS] are phased out," he said.
He stressed appliances made with PFAS such as PTFE are safe to use, explaining the environmental and health risks emerge during their manufacture and disposal.
"When you manufacture PTFE you release a lot of nasty things," he said. "And also we don't know how to deal with the waste – we can't recycle the PTFE, and we find PTFE particles now in Mediterranean fish and the Arctic sediments."
He added: "The use phase of these is safe. But at the cost of what? Horrible pollution in China or somewhere else in the world?"
Plastic packaging vs PFAS?
The shift away from plastic packaging to compostable cups, bowls and boxes could mean more people are encountering packaging made using PFAS, Scottish environment charity Fidra has warned.
In a small-scale study of takeaway food packaging last year, Fidra found takeaway food packaging containing "significant levels" of PFAS, with the highest levels found in compostable bowls and boxes made of mouldable fibre. A US study last year yielded similar results.
Dr Kerry Dinsmore, who led the UK study, warned the drive to abandon plastic packaging could be exacerbating the problem. "Right now people are switching away from plastic," she told i. "You get PFAS in paperboard and compostable moulded fibres…and they are the most obvious alternative to plastic."
Fidra is campaigning for a ban on the use of all PFAS in food packaging, a step Denmark took in July last year. Dr Dinsmore urged people to use refillable containers wherever possible. "It's a hierarchy when it comes to packaging. You don't want plastic, if you have to use something that is single-use, it should be recyclable or safely compostable."

St Helena Sports Day
Welcome To The St Helena Association UK
RIGHT NOW ST HELENA IS CHANGING
Nestled deep within the South Atlantic Ocean, St Helena is one of the most remote islands in the world. Renowned for it's rich history, unspoiled beauty and unique culture, it is vast becoming a popular tourist destination due to it's newly built airport.
However being so isolated, access to appropriate healthcare and medical treatment can be difficult. Vulnerable people do not receive the relevant support they need. Community organisations that have a positive impact on the residents do not have sufficient funds to complete the sterling work they do.
We host a number of internationally acclaimed fundraising events to generate funds to not only generate funds to these organisations and individuals but to preserve the unique culture of St Helena Island.

Cover Classics: Cat Power's "The Covers Record" and "Jukebox"
Posted by Seuras Og at 2:00 pm	No Responses »
Cover Classics takes a look at great covers albums of the past, their genesis and their legacies.
Black Friday may have gone, but here's a twofer bargain.
Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, has produced two near-full album cover classics in her career (so far), which doesn't even begin to fully address her never-more-quirky approach to the songs of others. Not that she is lost for any words of her own! She's got a back catalogue stretching across many styles and many genres, from raw scratchy indie through slinky southern soul, a touch of electronica and back again, yet always unmistakably herself. Her career has seen her seemingly beset by internal demons; many had written her off until her triumphant return this fall with Wanderer, containing ten of her own songs, and one contender for our Cover Songs of the Year post.
But it is back to 2000 we first go, to The Covers Record. Allegedly a disappointment to her record company, who had appreciated this was an artiste worth their investment, but even with lackluster promotion it became a slow burning triumph. Praise and plaudits accumulated over the years, not least as box set dramas required ever more diverse musical accompaniments.

Corrective Critiques and Measuring Social Life: Social Capital in Political Communitarianism and Academia
Barton, Joshua George
Over the past quarter of a century social capital has grown from a relatively obscure concept to one routinely applied in a variety of literatures ranging from academic disciplines to international development programmes. Whilst the concept has been the subject of several critiques, these have largely been from a political economic perspective and have primarily discredited the concept by constructing it as having a basis and origins in economics. This thesis aims to offer an alternative analysis of social capital. By drawing on the work of French pragmatism, I treat social capital as a complex, heterogeneous object whose meaning and basis shifts as it has been employed in the enactment of different realities. Whilst retaining this sensibility, I argue that insight can be gained into political uses of social capital by conceptualising it as part of various corrective critiques of economic liberalism. From a communitarian perspective, liberal policy is deficient because of its individualistic, and economic, foci. The incorporation of these, and other critiques, has resulted in the recent emergence of a 'holistic' approach that identifies human 'wellbeing' as the goal of policy. Social capital, with its promise to make the benefits of social life measurable and calculable, has helped to incorporate the communitarian critique into policy and political discourse both in New Zealand and internationally. However, social capital's relationship to critique within policy and politics has varied. Some authors have constructed it as existing in a reciprocal relationship with existing liberal economic policies, from this perspective both economic growth and social capital are required to improve human wellbeing. For others, however, social capital and wellbeing are damaged by economic growth, and so economic policy requires modification in order to prevent damage to social capital. When the former construction is used, social capital is part of an expansionary critique of policy. From the latter perspective, social capital forms part of a reformist critique of policy. These arguments are built on an analysis of social capital in texts from a variety of political and scholarly fields. My exploration of social capital in two academic fields, public health and management studies demonstrates that social capital often lacks an evident economic basis, and highlights the variability in the concept's construction. I also explore the history of the concept in New Zealand political and policy texts, discussing its use in the New Zealand Institute of Policy Studies and by Prime Minister Jim Bolger in the 1990s, and how this changed as the concept was more thoroughly incorporated into policy during the Fifth Labour Government in the early 2000s. Furthermore, I offer an explanation of social capital's current and central role in national accounting frameworks published by international and national government organisations, which provide the most clearly articulated attempts to measure social life via social capital. As well as building on the existing critical and analytical literature around social capital, and offering an analysis of the concept within New Zealand, my approach demonstrates the advantages offered by adopting the sensibility of French pragmatic sociology. My analysis supports the argument that texts are a suitable topic of interest from a French pragmatic perspective, and shows the critical insight that can be gained from a more empirically-orientated and less dismissive approach to the concept of social capital.

This was a big year for pipeline policy. From the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline to states enacting harsh laws to criminalize and curb pipeline protests, the fight to stop oil and gas infrastructure saw major wins — and major losses — in 2021.

Joe Biden started his term in January by canceling the Keystone XL pipeline via executive order. That's after more than a decade of Indigenous-led activism against the project.

But the tough-on-pipelines agenda didn't last. In May, the Army Corps of Engineers upheld a Trump-era position, allowing the Dakota Access Pipeline to continue to operate, despite the fact that a key permit for the pipeline was canceled by a federal judge.

Q: Efficiently assign columns headers to csv file I'm enquiring about efficiently assigning column headers to CSV files with a comma delimiter. At the moment time I'm manually assigning the headers once I know how many columns there are. The problem is, the number of columns varies with different files.
So the first Dataframe below has 3 columns. Which I assign via the following.
import pandas as pd

d = ({
    'Col 1' : ['X','Y'],
    'Col 2' : ['A','B'],
    'Col 3' : ['C','D'],
    })

df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)

df.columns = ['A','B','C']

If I have the following df and I use the same code it will return an error.

ValueError: Length mismatch: Expected axis has 2 elements, new values have 3 elements

d = ({
    'Col 1' : ['X','Y'],
    'Col 2' : ['A','B'],
     })

df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)

df.columns = ['A','B','C']

I understand this is because there are only 2 columns. I'm asking about efficiently assigning headers A-n.
I know it's not not hard to alter df.columns to ['A','B'] but if I'm doing this multiple times a day it becomes very inefficient.

A: Use the list comprehension, string built-in module and the length of your dictionary d:
df.columns = ([x for x in string.ascii_uppercase if ord(x) < ord("A") + len(d)])

as string.ascii_uppercase is the 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' string.
You may also use string.ascii_letters or similar constans, if you need more than 26 column headers.

Sharks probably playing more consistently at the moment but Giants can't afford to lose any more games. Not been a good match up for the Sharks this season - if they can contain Clayton and Granic then hoping Williams and Alexander will have the edge.
The few minutes I saw looked like Sharks had completely switched off. Some of the easy points Giants were scoring looked more like a NBA All-stars games ending something like175-168!!
I take it Sharks aim was to make the playoffs and feel they've got there?
Good to see Lyons making adjustments every time we have got hammered to Manchester...oh wait we have lost by 10,20,30 pts in every game.
Also great coaching to have Dirk and Alexander playing down nearly 40 in the final stages of 4th qtr....with a vital game in 2 days. Keep them fresh!
When you lose that bad.... irrelevant. And there's no excuse or explanation that will change my mind on that.

MARITAL RAPE: A DISCOURTESY TO WOMEN
Marriages are forms of intimate partner relationships and in India they occupy a position of sanctity in the social life of people. Even though they are sacred and private, weddings have always been characterized by uneven influence relationships.
There are numerous aspects that feminists from various fields have observed that could have resulted in the rise of such inequality. Most women in our culture, where men predominate, are just objects. We all are aware of how women confront violence within the four walls of their house. Time and again we have recognized the phrase domestic violence as just physical beatings. We never examined the practices that force women to inconvenient sex with their spouse. The act of sexual activity between a husband and wife without the wife's consent is known as marital rape or spousal rape, and it is not always accompanied by bodily harm. The first instance of marital rape was brought to light in Phulmoni Devi Case 1881, when it was evident that the bride's ruptured vagina was the cause of her death. The husband was eventually cleared of the rape allegation since marital rape was fully free from the scope of penal legislation.
What is marital rape?
Marital Rape is a sexual intercourse by the victim's husband is referred to as marital rape.
Rape continues to be defined as engaging in sexual activity or penetrating another person's body without that person's consent. Therefore, establishing the absence of consent is a crucial component in proving the crime of rape. It is frequently the victim's responsibility to demonstrate the absence of consent. When it comes to minors, as example, it is sometimes assumed that consent doesn't exist because the law assumes they are unable to provide their assent for such sexual actions. However, there are also circumstances where consent is accepted as fact. This assumption frequently arises when the victim and the offender are married. In such circumstances, the concept of marital rape turns into taboo[1].
Marital rape in India
Exception 2 of sec.375[2] of the IPC ('exception clause') when it comes to minors, the law frequently presumes that consent doesn't exist since it believes they are unable to provide their assent to such sexual acts.
However, there are some situations when consent is taken for granted. When the victim and the offender are married, this presumption commonly appears. In these situations, the idea of marital rape becomes unacceptable.
Reports of the Law Commissions of India
The 42nd Law Commission Report[3] was the first to address this topic. This study offered two crucial recommendations. First, it stated that the exception clause could not be used when a husband and wife were legally separated. Although this was a commendable recommendation, it wasn't apparent why it was made.
In such a circumstance, the marriage officially continues, and if the husband engages in sexual activity with her against her will or her permission, he cannot be charged with the crime of rape," it was said in the report. This doesn't seem to be correct.
When other acts of sexual assault committed by a husband against a woman were made illegal, it was contended, there was no justification for rape to be exempt from the rule of law. This argument was rejected by the Law Commission because it believed that making marital rape illegal would "excessively interfere with the institution of marriage." This study clarifies how marital rape and the sacredness of the marriage institution interact.
In 2012, in a shift from prior conversations, a committee appointed by Justice J.S. Verma[4] argued in favour of making marital rape a crime.
This committee was established in response to the widespread national movement to improve the criminal justice system's ability to handle cases of severe sexual assault against women. The study made the recommendation that marital rape should be made an offense. This was suggested in two different ways. The initial proposal was to simply remove the exception clause. The second idea was that the law should expressly indicate that a married or other like status is not a legitimate defense for the accused, is not important for establishing whether assent was given, and is not a mitigating circumstance when it comes to sentence.
The Parliament Standing Committee on Home Affairs in its 167th Report[5] ('Standing Committee Report') revised this Bill, 2012 and also organized public consultations.
Here, it was suggested that Sec. 375 must be suitably amended to delete the exception clause. However, the Standing Committee refused to accept this recommendation. First, according to the Standing Committee Report, doing so would put "the entire family system under greater stress and the committee may perhaps be inflicting more injustice." Second, the Committee reasoned that there were already enough remedies available since the family could handle such matters on its own and because the concept of cruelty as defined by Section 498A of the IPC provided a remedy under criminal law. The Ministry of Home Affairs recently, in 2015[6], reaffirmed its position in response to a Member of Parliament's proposed measure that sought to criminalise marital rape. It was "considered that the concept of marital rape, as understood internationally, cannot be suitably applied in the Indian context,"
Latest Legislative Development
A bill titled Women's Sexual, Reproductive and Menstrual Rights Bill 2018[7]was introduced
in Lower house of Sabha which recommended to make marital rape as a crime and abolishment of exception 2 of Sec. 375 IPC.
Bill recommended that after the proviso to explanation 2, the following proviso shall be inserted-"Provided that the women's ethnicity, religion, caste, education, profession, clothing preference, entertainment preference, social circle, personal opinion, past sexual conduct or any other related grounds shall not be a reason to presume her consent to the sexual activity
Why not criminalise Marital Rape
There are three broad arguments against criminalisation of marital rape.
The first is with relation to the intention of safeguarding the institution of marriage and, thus, refraining from tampering with it in order to maintain the institution's sacredness. Both the IPC and the Law Commission studies indicate this. The second deals with the another remedies that already in its existence for a woman to seek remedy within the family and in the law itself such as sec.498A of the IPC[8], the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 ('PWDVA, 2005') and various other personal laws dealing with marriage and divorce. The third is concerned with Indian cultural norms and emphasises how these values should prevent us from making marital rape a crime.
The Legal Remedies available to Marital Rape vicims
The most pertinent law, Section 498A of the IPC, is frequently suggested as a suitable option for genuine criminalization.
The IPC's 498A amendment was added particularly to address situations of cruelty to women. We contend that this is insufficient for two reasons, though. Our first argument is that there is a clear distinction between cruelty and rape. Rape can be distinguished from a cruelty offence by its nature and deed. The second reason is that incidents of rape cannot be adequately addressed in this section.
In arguments about gender-based violence, the civil law remedies occupy an unpleasant space. Restitution of conjugal rights is still in use in India. Men typically use this to coerce their spouses into beginning loving relationships again.
The term "cruelty" is recognised as a basis for divorce in all personal religious laws. However, "sexual violence" is not specifically included as a reason for divorce.
Under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955[9]women have the right to apply for divorce or judicial separation on the grounds of cruelty.
Independent Thought v. Union of India ('Independent Thought')[10], the Court partly struck down a part of the exception clause in sec.375 of IPC. Under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 ('POCSO'), it is illegal to have sexual intercourse with a child under the age of eighteen. However, the exception clause allows for this in the event a girl is married and is between the ages of fifteen to eighteen.
The Court noted that this differential treatment to the girl on the basis of marriage was wholly unconstitutional. This was because marriage did not serve as a reasonable classification. Although the Court was keen on noting that the judgment was not for adult marital rape, it is encouraging that the Court has recognised that women's rights cannot be subsumed on the basis of marriage.
It might be inferred that there is a need for a legislation to punish marital rapes after examining several social, legal, constitutional, or judicial aspects of marital rape.
Women have historically and continue to be regarded as though they are objects or pieces of property. The right to privacy, which is one of the fundamental liberties guaranteed by our constitution, does not make a distinction between married and single women. Legislation or the law should thus not make a distinction between them. Another aspect is that it will be challenging to execute properly. However, lawmakers must find a middle ground and create laws that can both penalise those who are suspected of raping a spouse and help those who have been the victim of a rape.

Hi there….welcome to the exciting and confusing reality of applying for internship and residency. My name is Mike Gurian and I'm here to tell you that you can get into your top programs this year with nothing other than your strong application that got you an interview and by being yourself on interview day, it's that easy. And if you're here at Memorial interviewing for a position in the Transitional Program, you're already that much closer to being involved in an amazing program that is unlike any internship program around the country. Let me first tell you a little bit about my background…
I grew up in West Caldwell, New Jersey, about 30 minutes outside of NYC, and moved on to the University of Rochester where I graduated with a degree in Public Health Policy. Prior to starting my internship at Memorial, I attended UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, NJ, where I discovered that I was best suited for a career in Diagnostic Radiology. After flirting with the notion of leaving my entire life behind and moving to Hawaii or Miami, I came to realize that NYC was the only place I wanted to live, work, and play for the next five years of my life. I am thrilled to have been chosen to start my medical career as an intern at Memorial and look forward to starting my training next year as a Radiology resident at Cornell.
It was clear to me after my interview day at Memorial that it would be my top choice for internship for many reasons. The name alone brings with it the integrity and respect of the international medical community and as an intern you will have the opportunity to work with faculty that are the most well-known and gifted physicians in their field. After having visited over 30 hospitals during my interview season, Memorial has the most sophisticated computer order system and patient database that I have ever come across. One central database controls every aspect of a patient's hospital stay and you will never have to wonder when a result becomes available by checking multiple times throughout the day, due to a unique flagging system. The ancillary staff is unbelievable and are always on top of their patients' delicate needs, you will not have to wonder if your orders are being followed. Lastly, Memorial has the best housing in the city!! The rent is cheap and is taken out of your paycheck pre-tax…..I paid more to live in suburban NJ per month last year than I do to live on the Upper East Side this year. There's so much more to discuss and I look forward to elaborating more when I meet each of you on interview day.
So relax, enjoy your fourth year of medical school, and remember that you've already accomplished so much by being offered an interview that it's really up to you to decide where you would like to begin your career as a doctor.

Yodacart, an e-commerce and last-mile logistics and support start-up founded by an XLRI student, raises US$ 225,000 funding from alumni Angel Investor
Yodacart, an e-commerce start-up by XLRI Jamshedpur student Vikas Sharma, has announced pre-seed funding of 225,000 USD from Ajith Daniel, a New York-based Angel Investor, an LP in several Investment funds, a serial entrepreneur with 3 successful exits over US$200 Million, and a Strategic Growth Advisor to many start-ups. Incidentally, Ajith is also an XLRI alumni.
Yodacart specialises in last-mile logistics and same-day delivery and support, helping ease decision-making on the purchase of consumer electronic products through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The current online penetration in appliances is merely 2-3%, and Yodacart aims to drive it up to 10%. As such, the funding will further enable it to reinforce its tech offerings and expand its presence in the Indian market.
Founded in 2019, Yodacart originally began as Adofix, a last-mile logistics company for large consumer and commercial appliances, serving the Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane areas. As sales increased and revenues spiked, Vikas also very quickly noticed a vast gap in consumer expectations while shopping, delivery and installation of purchases, post-purchase customer experience expectations, and actual ground reality, and in 2020 started laying the foundation for an immersive hyper-personalized customer-centric, easy to use platform, which intuitively helped customers find the right product for their unique requirements.
Powered by the latest and best in technology, Yodacart uses Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, AR and VR, and conversational AI, to create a seamless, real-time, omnichannel, hyper-personalized product discovery, pre-purchase, purchase and post-purchase delivery and installation management with a unique customer experience. This allows customers to browse and purchase products efficiently, as well as book maintenance and after-sales services, from the same window.
With an existing presence in Maharashtra and covering more than 350 SKUs, the company plans to use the funds to enhance the platform, expand product categories, and expand nationally, growing its services by 50X within the next year. As part of the funding investment, Yodacart will also receive support from two portfolio companies headed by Ajith Daniel.
Speaking about the funding, Ajith Daniel, said, "Yodacart has a keen understanding of the ground realities in this dynamic space. Having gotten their hands dirty over the last few years, they have poured their learnings into this unique platform and customer-centric approach. Their revenue growth over the last few years instils confidence in their capabilities to transform the way consumers purchase electronic products and enhance their post-purchase experiences. Through this investment, I expect Yodacart to further enhance and deliver highly personalised and simplified product discovery solutions for its customers, fundamentally transforming customer experience"
Founder and CEO of Yodacart, Vikas Sharma, said, "So far, our specialisation has primarily been in five consumer electronics categories, including Air Conditioners, Televisions, Washing Machine, Refrigerator, and Water Purifier. Through this funding, we aim to further enhance the user experience for our customers, expand operations on a country-wide scale, and deliver efficient and easy solutions for the evolving customer of today."
In addition, the company will be launching in Pune in January 2022, with further plans to expand to Delhi and Gurugram, later in the year.
