Plot
Aparna Verma (Nandita Das), who has been married to a traveling salesman Suresh for several years, is now pregnant. After she completes some medical tests, she is asked to come see the doctor along with her husband. Suresh refuses to go, Aparna goes alone and this is where she receives the news that she has AIDS and she must abort the child. Aparna subsequently learns that Suresh has been having unprotected sex with other women, had acquired AIDS and passed it on to her. She confers with her mother, finds out about a rehabilitation house called "Jivan Jyoti" and goes there to volunteer without telling anyone about her condition. She meets with Dr. Machado (Anupam Kher), who informs her that he is aware of her condition but promises not to tell anyone else. Now divorced, Aparna feels herself getting attracted to another worker, George (Rajit Kapur), who is a truck driver and also works in Jivan Jyoti. George is very friendly with the children of Jivan Jyoti. But the knowledge of her being HIV positive restrains her from getting too friendly with him. She learns that he too is HIV positive. She avoids him and mixes with the children. A prostitute Rita (Renuka Shahane) and her young daughter Paro are brought to Jivan Jyoti. Rita passes away leaving Paro in the care of Aparna. George leaves Jivan Jyoti feeling shunned by Aparna but only after disposing his truck and garage and donating the proceeds for the development of Jivan Jyoti. Aparna takes Paro to a boarding school for admission where she meets George after a long time. They unite with the help of Dr Machado.

On our second day, we got up bright & early & headed south to Tarifa, Spain where we would catch a ferry to Tanger, Morocco. After several wrong turns on our first day, we wanted to build in enough time to get lost. It was an easy drive though (just lots of tolls). We passed the Rock of Gibraltar along the way. With another day, Nick would have dragged us all to see the monkeys. I'm pretty impressed with this shot over Nick's shoulder as he was driving.
Here we are gazing at Africa. Pretty cool.
We arrived in Tarifa with hours to spare. Morocco is 2 hours behind Spain in the summer so we took an 11 am ferry & arrived in Morocco at 9:30 am. Parking was not an issue in Tarifa. Plenty of places offering all day parking within walking distance of the ferry. And, it wasn't underground with tiny little stalls much to Nick's delight. Maybe it's busier in the summer, but we had absolutely no problem finding a place to leave the car. As we were walking, we saw lots of after-bars still open. You know, the place that opens from 3am-7am. Surprisingly, a lot of the patrons were significantly older than us. It was a Sunday & nothing was really open in town. Cecilia was bracing for a day of unfamiliar food, so we decided to do what we do best - eat again. We ordered cafe con leche (yum). Can you see the nice German family behind Nick eating ham sandwiches for breakfast? No one laughed at them.
Cecilia doesn't drink coffee, so she ordered hot chocolate. We also ordered churro's to share. The hot chocolate is very thick - more like melted chocolate than the watery drink we are used to. They are dipped in the hot chocolate or eaten with sprinkled sugar. Churros don't really have much flavor to them. As you can see from Cecilia's plate, instead of traditional breakfast potatoes, they served french fries with their eggs. That was our first clue that we didn't order the local fare. Our second clue was the table of Spaniards laughing & pointing at us. Seriously.
After breakfast, it was time to board the ferry. Our Moroccan travel guide bought our tickets so we just provided a confirmation number. I was very surprised to see the size of our ferry, but it explains the expense - 66 euros (about $75) for a 30 minute ride. You go through customs on the ferry so it's an easy exit once you arrive at port.
I'll blog about Morocco tomorrow. We left Morocco later than expected & were all anxious to get home. But, upon arrival in Tarifa, we stumbled upon the Fiesta de la Virgen de Luz. It seemed like the whole town was out celebrating. It was fun to see fancy flamenco dresses & mantilla's being worn & not just hanging in souvenir shop windows.
I know, these girls look like ghosts. Ugh. I should have just used my camera that I know how to work. But, you get the idea - it was a very special religious celebration.
While Ella was very excited about her flamenco dress, even before she saw this picture, she commented that she wished she had the fancy shoes too. I tried using my Mom's camera for a lot of these shots. Bad idea. Travel Tip: Don't try using cameras that you haven't used before.
Cute young girls in their fancy dresses.
The handsome horse rider. We grabbed a quick sandwich & drinks & drove back to Malaga. Given the jet lag, we were all wired & stayed up way too late on our second night which meant a late start on Day #3. Given the strong winds through the straits, there are a lot of wind turbines. I realized after we left the town, that we didn't see any wind or kite surfers (who are attracted to the strong winds). If we had another day, I would have looked for surfers & visited Cadiz.

Blueprint for EU army to be agreed
A security blueprint charting a path to a European Union army will be agreed by Euro-MPs on Thursday.
By Bruno Waterfield in Brussels 18 February 2009 • 15:07 pm
The plan, which has influential support in Germany and France, proposes to set up a "Synchronised Armed Forces Europe", or Safe, as a first step towards a true European military force.
The move comes as France, a supporter of an EU army, prepares to rejoin Nato and to take over one of the Alliance's top military posts. General Charles de Gaulle withdrew French forces in 1966.
Geoffrey Van Orden MEP, the Conservative European defence spokesman, warned that British ministers are "in denial".
He said: "They are sleepwalking towards a European army and seem to have little awareness of what is going on."
The EU proposals, drafted by Karl von Wogau, a German MEP, envisage a "dynamic to further development of co-operation between national armed forces so that they become increasingly synchronised - this process [should] be given the name Safe".
There are also plans to create an EU "Council of Defence Ministers" and "a European statute for soldiers within the framework of Safe governing training standards, operational doctrine and freedom of operational action".
Hans-Gert Poettering, the European Parliament's President and close ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, has supported Safe as a "link" to the "objective of a European army".
"Safe can broaden the debate on the right steps towards closer synchronisation, bringing in those people who cannot yet conceive of a European army," he said in a recent speech.
President Nicolas Sarkozy's will use a summit marking Nato's 60th birthday celebrations in April to pledge France to the Nato's military command structure.
Mr Van Orden, a former Brigadier-General who served at Nato HQ in the 1990s, is concerned that in the process the Alliance "is going to be skewed to suit the EU".
"A key element of a likely deal is to give France something Britain has never had - one of the top two military posts in Nato," he said.
France is expected to play a key part in shaping Nato's future role by taking the job of Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, or Sact, a post traditionally held by a United States Flag or General officer.
"We are giving a nation, which for nearly 50 years has been committed to marginalising Nato and building European structures to exclude the Americans, the job of re-jigging the transatlantic Alliance," said Mr Van Orden.
On Tuesday, Caroline Flint, Britain's Europe Minister, insisted: "Let me be clear - there are no plans for a European army."

Сергей Митрофанович Слисский (1913 — 1989) — советский учёный-гидравлик.

Биография
Родился 18 мая 1913 года на станции Иланская Российской империи, ныне Красноярского края.

Окончил гидросиловой факультет Московского строительного техникума (годы учёбы 1930—1934) и гидротехнический факультет МИСИ (1939).

В 1939—1940 инженер Московского отделения института Гидроэнергопроект. В 1940—1946 служил в РККА сначала в Хабаровском ВО, с 1943 года — на передовой в составе 2-го и 3-го Украинских фронтов, в 16-м отдельном моторизованном понтонно-мостовом батальоне и 350-м гвардейском полку 114-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизии, в 1945—1946 в Венгрии, где был членом комиссии по изучению состояния гидротехнических сооружений. В 1943 году вступил в партию. Награждён орденами Отечественной войны и Красной Звезды.

После демобилизации год работал инженером в Гидроэнергопроекте. В 1947—1950 учился в аспирантуре Московского энергетического института, ученик известного гидравлика С. В. Избаша. Провел лабораторные гидравлические исследования для Камской водосливной гидроэлектростанции, полученные результаты были использованы на практике.

В 1953 г. опубликовал монографию «Эжекция в нижний бьеф на совмещенных ГЭС» (Госэнергоиздат), которая была переведена на английский и вьетнамский языки.

В 1950—1960 провёл теоретические и экспериментальные исследования по гидравлике гидроэлектростанций Волжско-Камского каскада: Волгоградской, Волжской, Саратовской, Воткинской, Нижнекамской.

Полученные результаты позволили разработать более эффективные, не имеющие аналогов конструкции турбинных блоков совмещенных ГЭС за счет оптимизации размеров и форм турбинных блоков и водосбросов, снижения потерь напора на сороудерживающих устройствах верхнего бьефа, рациональной конструкции крепления нижнего бьефа и использования эффекта эжекции.

За этот цикл исследований С. М. Слисский удостоен Премии Совета Министров СССР (1956) и награждён медалью «За трудовую доблесть» (1958).

В 1970 г. опубликовал монографию «Гидравлика зданий гидроэлектростанций» («Энергия»), не потерявшую своей актуальности.

Разработанные С. М. Слисским методы расчета сопряжения бьефов и эжекции на гидроэлектростанциях опубликованы в «Справочнике по гидравлическим расчетам» под редакцией П. Г. Киселева («Энергия», 1961, 1972, 1975). Слисский предложил формулу для расчета коэффициента гидравлического сопротивления трения в зоне смены режимов.

Доктор технических наук (1963). С 1959 года преподавал в МИСИ, с 1963 года профессор кафедры гидротехнических сооружений, в 1972—1988 заведующий кафедрой, в 1963—1972 декан факультета гидротехнического строительства.

В 1986 году за большой вклад в развитие гидротехнического образования и значительные научные результаты награждён орденом Трудового Красного Знамени.

К 105-летию со дня рождения Слисского в МИСИ прошёл Всероссийский научно-практический семинар «Современные проблемы гидравлики и гидротехнического строительства».

If you are suffering from arthritis from long time then one thing is sure that modern medicine could not help. The Ayurvedic medicines are very effective and being used from our ancient times. Here are few tips on Ayurveda and its methods of treatment.
Nowadays most of the people are suffering from the arthritis. Of the two sexes, women are more prone to this disease generally than man. In the recent years, most of the people who are suffering due to the arthritis are now seeking the help of the ayurveda in order to cure their problem.
Generally in the Ayurveda they consider pain as the aggravation of the air dashes. The arthritis is commonly referred as the amavata in the Ayurveda. Ayurveda is defined as the accumulation of the toxic product as a result of improper digestion and aggravation of the vata which refer to the air. The toxic product that has formed due to the improper digestion will accumulate in a weaker area of the body. Arthritis occurs when these are deposited in the joints of the individual.
As described earlier arthritis occurs due to the accumulation of the waste product, it is essential that you should take the necessary precautions to avoid or reduce these accumulations of the toxic substance in your body. For this it is important for you to ensure and increase the power of the digestion process that will lead to the decrease in the accumulation of waste in the body. It is also important that you have to take steps in order to avoid the pain and the things that cause inflammation in your body. This forms the basics of the ayurveda to treat the arthritis.
Some of the suggestions advised by the experts' include fasting at regular interval as this will helps in improving the efficiency of the digestion process. The length, if the fasting, will be decided based on the different factors such as the season, ability of the person, place, etc. some of them will tell you to take a lemon juice that is mixed along with the water for at least a minimum of two times a day.
know about the limitation that you have. You will experience pain after your exercise if you crossed your limit after doing the exercise.
As far as possible, try to take some orange or sweet lime juices as this will be very beneficial to these patients as this will play a great role to increase the efficiency of working of the anti rheumatic drug. Vitamin C will particularly be of great help to these people as they will be able to lessen the skeletal pain that one may have.
Another good drug to cure the arthritis is guggul which is a type of herb. Take this at least three times a day.

Heikki Kovalainen in talks with McLaren for 2008 season
Written by David on October 28th, 2007 at 9:17 pmLast Update: October 28th, 2007 at 9:17 pm
Finnish rookie Heikki Kovalainen has admitted to be in talks with 'many' Formula One teams, including McLaren, about the 2008 season. The 26 year old has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Fernando Alonso, particularly amid rumors that the unhappy Spaniard might be set to switch from the Woking-based team to Renault or BMW next year.
Kovalainen and his teammate this season, Giancarlo Fisichella, have yet to be confirmed for Renault, as a growing swathe of their fellow drivers await a late silly-season rush in the event that Alonso does indeed make a move. In an interview with ITV, Kovalainen admitted that McLaren might be interested in him for 2008, but jokingly rued his poor qualifying performance at the season finale last Sunday. "They probably would have thought 'maybe better not to think about him'," he said. "But honestly, we have been talking to many teams and all I can say is I have a contract with Renault until the end of the year. We have to wait and see what the other guys do."

I grew up near the ocean. Not on the ocean, or by the ocean, but close enough so that many languid summer days of my childhood were spent there with family, jumping waves and playing in the sand. Adolescence may have changed my companions on the beach blankets, but the ocean remained the backdrop of many long summer days.

Interview with Dr. Joseph Burgo on Narcissism, Sociopaths &, yes, Romance.
Hi gang, Dr. Eeks here.
Dr. Eeks: You're an expert on Narcissism. One of the biggest complaints I hear from my female friends is that they've dated narcissist and that's why their relationships didn't work. Perhaps the relationship didn't work out for other reasons, but my question to you is, can a narcissist really fall in love and be in a relationship with someone else?
Dr. Burgo: It helps to think of narcissism as occurring along a spectrum of severity, rather than as a discrete entity that corresponds to Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The extreme narcissist is incapable of authentic love and concern, but many other people with milder narcissistic features to their personalities can feel love under certain conditions. I've seen people able to feel a limited kind of love for their spouse or children but who demonstrate no empathy for anyone else. The love is often fairly "selfish," with a focus more on what the narcissist needs rather than on concern for the other, but it is a kind of love all the same.
Dr. Eeks: We live in the Age of Social Media. Are all those people ( including myself) who post pictures of ourselves or frequent updates, narcissists?
Dr. Burgo: Posting on Facebook and tweeting aren't necessarily narcissistic when they enable us to connect with and share ourselves with those we care about. But the more we try to skew status updates and tweets to make ourselves look good, asking for admiration (lots of "likes") — especially when we take little interest in what anyone else may post — the more narcissistic it becomes.
Dr. Eeks: In general, are social media tools like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube fueling narcissism?
Dr. Burgo: I think so. The narcissist always want to believe that there is an audience – other people watching and admiring – and to the extent we're all displaying ourselves in public to garner attention, we're becoming more narcissistic. There's nothing inherently narcissistic about sharing in the public space, but how many people share themselves in full – their pain, their struggles, their failures, along with all the self-display that makes them look good? The narcissist doesn't want to be known, he wants to be admired. Social media theoretically enables us to make ourselves better known to people, but I'm not sure that's the way it's being used.
Dr. Eeks: There are some incredibly "self-important" individuals in powerful job positions. The movie American Psycho comes to mind. Wouldn't then narcissism, or at least narcissistic traits, be beneficial in that sense? In helping us achieve great success?
Dr. Burgo: There's a lot written on this subject. I believe that many people in positions of power such as CEOs of major corporations have been shown to demonstrate major narcissistic traits, but contrary to what you might think, it doesn't lead to greater success for the company. The narcissist's personality might help him to advance to positions of authority, but he tends to lead in an autocratic way. The more cooperative, empathic type of leader is apparently better for the overall health of the company she leads.
Dr. Eeks: Is the anti-age craze a form of narcissism or the belief that we must try to look young forever?
Dr. Burgo: Yes, I think it's a kind of narcissism. The underlying problem, though, is that our culture provides so few other sources of "meaning" for us to aspire to. Wealth, sexual attractiveness and celebrity – that's what modern life is all about. We don't revere our elders for their wisdom, gained through lengthy experience. We admire young, sexually attractive celebrities who appear to "have it all." As we age, then, we lose value in our culture – especially women – and that's a kind of narcissistic injury. We have no shortage of aging action heroes who continue to make films, but how many roles are there for women beyond a certain age? We don't look to older women as repositories of wisdom and character; once they lose their sexual appeal and their children are grown, they lose their social currency. No wonder everyone is obsessed with looking young forever!
Dr. Eeks: A lot of my female friends will refer to an ex as a "sociopath." So, I ask, can a sociopath really fall in love?
Dr. Burgo: That term gets thrown about too loosely, and sometimes it's just a kind of name-calling. If you look at the DSM, Anti-Social Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder share many of the same features, which says to me that narcissism/sociopathy is actually a spectrum. A true sociopath is incapable of love but that doesn't apply to everyone with narcissistic features.
Dr. Eeks: Can a narcissist, through training, become a non-narcissist?
Dr. Burgo: Not "training" but through psychotherapy. The therapeutic challenge is to help the person come into contact with and learn to bear the unconscious shame that her narcissistic defenses are warding off. It's the kind of work I do and it takes years.
Dr. Eeks: Can a sociopath, through training, become a non-sociopath?
Dr. Burgo: A true, full-blown sociopath? I doubt it. They're too damaged. And besides, they don't willingly seek psychotherapy.
Dr. Eeks: You wrote a book called, "Cinderella: A Tale of Narcissism and Self-Harm." That doesn't sound like it has a Disney-approved ending. What inspired you to write a "twisted fairy tale" so to speak?
Dr. Burgo: It began when I started to wonder how Cinderella would actually have turned out, psychologically and emotionally, if she'd grown up in a family where everyone hated and abused her? Not the way she's portrayed in the Disney version! Once I started to look at the scenario, Cinderella's family seemed to have so many features I've seen in families with narcissistic mothers: the splitting between the "good" children and the "bad", the preoccupation with status, the envy between siblings. In the end, the story I wrote felt more psychologically and emotionally true than the Disney version.
National Coffee Day ( a day late) : 10 Researched Healthy Gems about Coffee!
I have a question is someone born a sociopath or do life events cause them to be that way? If they are born that way and it is observed at a very young age, would psychotherapy help them?
Some of these questions are easier to answer in the abstract, some not.
The evidence is pretty compelling that there about 60 or more polymorphisms that predispose to sociopathy. These are genetic risk factors, and the current thinking is that they are probably nondeterministic. To get to full-blown sociopathy, which you have to think of as a 'phenotype' (an emergent collection of characteristics) and not a genotype (a collection of characteristics that is genetically determined), you need the right (or wrong!) type of environment, typically characterized by neglect and abuse. If you have both a damaging and abusive environment and genes that predispose to sociopathy, you are in serious trouble, and have very little chance for more prosocial trajectory.
There is a lot of debate about what are the core deficits in sociopathy, but I believe that it's likely a core empathy deficit, which deceptively but profoundly alters social trajectories through development, combined with an inability to learn from aversive experiences (recurrent punishment for their antisocial behavior).
An interesting question is what the 60 or so genes that have linked to sociopathy might have to do with empathy or as it's sometimes called contagion – the 'catchiness' of prototype emotion that allows us to easily sample what other people are feeling simply by witnessing it. Although sociopaths have intact theory of mind, they have defective contagion or 'proto-empathy'.
As for whether or not sociopaths can change, this depends on too many factors to make neat predictions. You have to think of this as a continuum rather than any kind of homogeneous category. At the mild end of the continuum are people who would swindle you to get your money, but they wouldn't shoot you to get it. So it all depends on how severe the sociopathic condition is, whether somebody appreciates at some level that they are on an altered and negative life trajectory relative to people with intact social abilities, and whether they have any real motivation to change. This insight and motivation are both unusual in most sociopaths, although occasionally a very bright Sociopath will realize that there is something terribly wrong with them.
Joseph Burgo is a lying, cheating, scammer who has no business being a psychologist. Based on his actions, he is probably a psychopath himself. He will never admit this because he is narcissistic to the extreme. The state of California should take away his license.
Don't all people want to be admired? Certainly some are deserving of adulation. Might the difference be dissembling, obfuscating or lying to falsely elicit admiration?
I'm not sure if everyone wants to be admired. A lot of people want to go quietly about their day and activities. I think what he's saying is that narcissists ONLY care about being admired, to the extent that nothing else matters. So, yes, they would obfuscate and lie and do all that to get the one thing they need: admiration.

Indian Railways to give 25% discount on tickets in trains with less than half occupancy
The decision will be applicable in air-conditioned executive class and chair cars of trains like Shatabdi Express, Gatiman Express, Tejas Express, Double Decker and Intercity Express.
news Indian Railways Wednesday, August 28, 2019 - 12:10
In a bid to fill the vacant seats in trains and meet the challenges posed by the roadways and airways, the Indian Railways has decided to give discount of up to 25 per cent to passengers on ticket fares.
According to the Railways, the decision will be applicable in air-conditioned executive class and chair cars of trains like Shatabdi Express, Gatiman Express, Tejas Express, Double Decker and Intercity Express.
"A decision on giving discount of passenger fare was taken today (Tuesday) and a circular has been issued to all the zonal managers," a senior Railway Ministry official told IANS.
He said, under this rule passengers will be given up to 25 per cent discount on the base fare in selected trains with less than 50 per cent occupancy.
According to the circular, the percentage of discount on the fare and the right to decide the route of the train has been given to the Principal Chief Commercial Manager of the Zonal Railways.
Along with this, a guideline has also been issued under which trains and their route will be selected.
The official said that the new guideline is based on the occupancy of the train in the last year. It also said that discounted fare can be given for the full year or part of a year, or month wise or seasonal or weekdays or weekends.
"If the passenger occupancy is less on the entire route or it is less in between any two special stations, a decision will be taken on that basis," it said.
Citing examples, the railway official said a lot of seats remain vacant from Kanpur to Lucknow of Lucknow Shatabdi running from Delhi.
"In such a situation, the railways will waive passenger fares in that section," he said.
He also cited the example of Ajmer Shatabdi, which runs from Delhi to Ajmer and said that many seats remains vacant between Jaipur to Ajmer.
"Volvo bus service is the first choice among travellers shuttling between Jaipur and Ajmer," he added.
Under the new strategy, Railways will aim to attract passengers by offering less fare than Volvo buses on such routes.
Likewise, the Railways on a pilot project is providing 10 per cent fare or fixed fares on routes -- Chennai-Mysore Shatabdi Express between Bengaluru-Mysuru section, in Delhi-Ajmer Shatabdi Express between Jaipur-Ajmer, in Delhi-Lucknow Shatabdi Express between Kanpur-Lucknow, and in New Jalpaigudi-Howrah Shatabdi Express between Malda-New Jalpaigudi.
Now this pilot will be implemented on all trains with AC chair car coaches.
The railways has asked all the zonal railways to identify the trains with less occupancy and inform it by September 30.
"If found feasible, the same shall be implemented with effect from applicable advance reservation period for the train on experimental basis for an initial period of six months," it said.


London (Reuters): OPEC forecast higher demand for its oil in 2018 due to rising global consumption and slower supply growth from rivals, although another jump in the group's output suggested the market will remain in surplus despite efforts to rein in production.
In a monthly report on Thursday, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said the world would need 32.42 million barrels per day (bpd) of its crude next year, up 220,000 bpd from the previous forecast.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries was also upbeat about 2018 economic growth and said oil stocks in developed economies declined in June and would fall further in the United States, a sign the OPEC-led supply cut is working.
"With the ongoing growth momentum and an expected continued dynamic in second-half 2017, there is still some room to the upside," OPEC said in the report.
"Further declines in US crude stocks are likely, given the record rates at which US refineries are running."
But the 14-country producer group also said its oil output in July came in above the demand forecast, led by gains in Libya and Nigeria, two members exempt from the cuts aimed at eliminating excess supply.
In the report, OPEC said its oil output rose by 173,000 bpd in July to 32.87 million bpd, led by the exempt producers plus top exporter Saudi Arabia.
The figures mean OPEC has complied 86 percent with its output-cutting pledge, according to a Reuters calculation, down from 96 percent initially reported for June but still high by OPEC standards.

LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, was involved in a car crash Thursday while driving in rural England but was not injured.
Buckingham Palace said Philip, 97, was checked by a doctor after the accident and determined to be fine.
The palace said the two-car accident happened Thursday afternoon near Sandringham Estate, the queen's country retreat in eastern England.
Witnesses told the BBC Philip appeared "very shocked" and shaken after the collision, which caused the Land Rover he was driving to overturn.

Norfolk Police said the drivers of both cars, a Land Rover and a Kia, were given alcohol breath tests under routine procedures following a collision. The force said both drivers tested negative.
"The male driver of the Land Rover was uninjured. The female driver of the Kia suffered cuts while the female passenger sustained an arm injury, both requiring hospital treatment," the police force said in a state.
The two women from the Kia were treated at nearby Queen Elizabeth Hospital and discharged, the statement said.

Witnesses described seeing broken glass and debris at the scene. Police did not say how the accident happened. There was no indication anyone was arrested for a driving offense.
Philip had a passenger in his car, but the palace did not identify the person. It is likely the prince was traveling with a protection officer, a standard security procedure for Britain's senior royals.
Philip has largely retired from public life. He has seemed to be in generally good health in recent months.
He and Elizabeth, 92, have been on an extended Christmas holiday at Sandringham, one of her favored rural homes. /muf

surrounding open spaces and canyons below. The fire road is wide, making it well suited for biking and horseback riding, as well as hiking in large groups. There is little shade along the fire road which allow for expansive vistas; however be prepared for heat and sun on warm days.
West Mandeville Fire Road can be accessed from Mandeville Canyon Park in Santa Monica via the staging area at the end of Westridge Road. Trail access will be on the west side of the lot.

Server badge 服务器端 badge 功能

+ setBadge:

设置角标(到服务器)

+ (BOOL)setBadge:(NSInteger)value

Parameters

						value

新的值. 会覆盖服务器上保存的值(这个用户)

Discussion

本接口不会改变应用本地的角标值.
本地仍须调用 UIApplication:setApplicationIconBadgeNumber 函数来设置脚标.

本接口用于配合 JPush 提供的服务器端角标功能.
该功能解决的问题是, 服务器端推送 APNs 时, 并不知道客户端原来已经存在的角标是多少, 指定一个固定的数字不太合理.

JPush 服务器端脚标功能提供:

通过本 API 把当前客户端(当前这个用户的) 的实际 badge 设置到服务器端保存起来;

调用服务器端 API 发 APNs 时(通常这个调用是批量针对大量用户),
使用 “+1” 的语义, 来表达需要基于目标用户实际的 badge 值(保存的) +1 来下发通知时带上新的 badge 值;

Declared In

JPUSHService.h

+ resetBadge

重置脚标(为0)

+ (void)resetBadge

Discussion

相当于 [setBadge:0] 的效果.
参考 [JPUSHService setBadge:] 说明来理解其作用.

Declared In

JPUSHService.h

Logs and others 日志与其他

+ registrationID

JPush标识此设备的 registrationID

+ (NSString *)registrationID

Discussion

SDK注册成功后, 调用此接口获取到 registrationID 才能够获取到.

JPush 支持根据 registrationID 来进行推送.
如果你需要此功能, 应该通过此接口获取到 registrationID 后, 上报到你自己的服务器端, 并保存下来.
registrationIDCompletionHandler:是新增的获取registrationID的方法,需要在block中获取registrationID,resCode为返回码,模拟器调用此接口resCode返回1011,registrationID返回nil.
更多的理解请参考 JPush 的文档网站.

Declared In

JPUSHService.h

+ setDebugMode

打开日志级别到 Debug

+ (void)setDebugMode

Discussion

JMessage iOS 的日志系统参考 Android 设计了级别.
从低到高是: Verbose, Debug, Info, Warning, Error.
对日志级别的进一步理解, 请参考 Android 相关的说明.

SDK 默认开启的日志级别为: Info. 只显示必要的信息, 不打印调试日志.

调用本接口可打开日志级别为: Debug, 打印调试日志.

Declared In

JPUSHService.h

+ setLogOFF

关闭日志

+ (void)setLogOFF

Discussion

关于日志级别的说明, 参考 [JPUSHService setDebugMode]

虽说是关闭日志, 但还是会打印 Warning, Error 日志. 这二种日志级别, 在程序运行正常时, 不应有打印输出.

建议在发布的版本里, 调用此接口, 关闭掉日志打印.

So i have a new nail design for you today featuring more foils. I really love the look of foils. When ever i do foil nails they seem to always turn out really great!
Anyways, so first off i painted my nails with Wet n Wild's On a trip just one coat. Then after that was dry I used my nail glue to put on the foils. I used two different foils for this first i used a Silver star one and then i used my foil that had a mixed of Turquoise, purple, Green and Pink. I only used the Turquoise , green and purple stripes to do this mani.I was going for a certain look and it turned out exactly how i wanted it.
Well, I hope you liked today's Nail design! Have a wonderful day!

The Trolls Awaken Latest Star Wars Trailer Reveals Discrimination within Geek Culture
by Merrill Miller • 27 October 2015
In just a little over a month, eager fans of the Star Wars saga will see the next installment of the franchise, The Force Awakens, on the big screen. Despite the letdown of the prequel trilogy (1999-2005), with its wooden dialogue and poor character development, many fans seem hopeful that J. J. Abrams as producer will bring new life and vision to the upcoming sequels. As a longtime Star Wars fan, I doubt that anything will ever top the wonder and heartwarming beauty of the original trilogy, but I'm excited to see the return of Luke, Leia, and Han Solo and follow the developments of new characters as they fight the forces of evil to maintain peace in the galaxy.
Though I don't have exact statistics, I would venture to guess that many humanists are also science-fiction geeks. Famous writers, directors, and other figures in the sci-fi field such as Isaac Asimov, Gene Roddenberry, and Susan Sackett have all identified as humanists. There seems to be something appealing to humanists about using faraway planets, aspirational technology, and extra-terrestrial lifeforms to explore the human experience. Perhaps these heights of fiction permit us to better understand our own natures as we watch beloved characters grapple with moral dilemmas and ethical decisions that are much like our own, despite the alien landscapes in which they take place. At the same time, by stretching the limits of our imagination to include travel at the speed of light, swords made from plasma, and instant healing devices, science fiction is also fun.
Unfortunately, though science fiction can transcend our everyday lives with its fascinating technology and intriguing settings, it cannot always surpass our current prejudices. One such example is the latest Twitter hashtag relating to The Force Awakens, #BoycottStarWarsVII, which claims that because the film's trailer features a black character it is "anti-white." One Twitter user went so far as to call the film "a propaganda piece that alienates it's [sic] core audience of white males." (As though there aren't enough movies featuring white males as the protagonists!) Though Wired suggests that the hashtag is part of a trolling campaign that shouldn't be taken so seriously, the issue of representation in film is a serious one, and the vitriol directed at the latest Star Wars simply for having a black protagonist seems disturbingly real.
When people in marginalized communities, be they people of color, women, or LGBTQ individuals, fail to see heroes on the big screen who look like them, they can internalize the harmful message that their stories are not worth telling and their lives are worth less. Many science fiction storytellers, such as novelist Octavia Butler and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, used the medium to question the social constructs of race and gender and break down the barriers that we so often create to separate people into categories. In his book Return of the Heroes, Hal G. P. Colebatch points out that while we (rightly) criticize the original Star Wars trilogy as being very focused on white, male characters, giving Leia Jedi powers was exceptionally open-minded for its time. Yet the wider culture surrounding science fiction, much like the culture of the humanist community, still remains largely dominated by white men. A couple years ago, the Internet seemed to be full of a meme called "Idiot Nerd Girl," that dismissed women in science fiction, fantasy, and gaming groups as only superficially interested in these topics. Despite numerous pieces calling out the sexism of dismissing women as "not real geeks" or "fake nerds," women in both online and offline spaces where geeks congregate can face microaggressions, such as dismissive comments or "ironic" racist or sexist jokes, and sometimes even outright hostility. All too often people of color are erased completely from geek spaces, which is why, as the blog Nerds of Color explains, having a black character (Finn, played by John Boyega) feature prominently in the latest Star Wars movie is such a huge step toward their recognition in the science fiction community.
Despite calls for greater inclusivity within geek culture, including science fiction enthusiasts, there seems to be something inherently elitist about geek communities. Perhaps it's the fact that credibility within the subculture is based on intimate knowledge of even the most minute details of the subject matter, and having the leisure time and money to spend on the books, movies, video games, and merchandise that go along with engrossing oneself in an imaginary world requires a certain amount of privilege. Women, people of color, and working-class individuals, to name a few, are less likely to have access to that leisure time and money, so they face more barriers to participation in geek communities. For those who can overcome economic barriers, the social barriers of microaggression and discrimination can be another hurdle that keeps them from feeling like full-fledged members of the community.
However, if there's one thing that the geek community should know, it's the experience of being marginalized. Many of us grew up feeling ostracized because of our passion for science fiction, fantasy, comic books, manga, or videogames. I know many self-proclaimed geeks who feel almost confused that the term has now become a point of pride. Similarly, many humanists have also experienced marginalization when they are honest about their lack of belief in a god. I would hope that science fiction geeks, especially those who might also be humanists, would be able to use these experiences to extend empathy for people of color and women in their communities who continue to feel marginalized in both geek and humanist spaces. Just because every storm trooper wears the same all-white body armor doesn't mean they can't be human underneath.

Psychosocial support in disaster risk management missing
Shamsin Ahmed
Bangladesh has the highest natural disaster mortality rate in the world, with over half a million people lost to natural disasters since 1970. These rates are going to rise as floods and cyclones grow more prevalent due to the effects of climate change effects that we are already experiencing. Until now the government's post-disaster response strategy has focused, increasingly and effectively, on the physical needs of survivors through the provision of shelter, food and medical care. However, the serious and widespread mental health consequences of natural and manmade disasters in Bangladesh have only recently begun to receive the attention it deserves.
A technical session on psychosocial support was held in the 2nd International conference on Disability and Disaster Risk Management (DRM) held from May 15 to May 17 this year. Although the session was titled 'Technical Session: Models for Psychosocial Support and Management of Trauma during Humanitarian Crisis', it only focused on the Rohingya crisis.
Most concerns regarding psychosocial interventions that were raised at the session largely focused on the long term effects and the mitigation plan. While a refugee crisis such as that of the Rohingya situation is complicated and difficult in any context, it is especially so for Bangladesh.
THE NEGLECTED STIGMA
Mental health is a very neglected and stigmatised discussion in Bangladesh, where there is no national policy for mental health care and the national budget allocation for mental health not being even 1 percent. So it is no surprise that there is a lot more to do and a dearth of knowledge and resources for developing effective psychosocial interventions. The WHO has looked for successful interventions in neighbouring countries and have found the best example from Sri Lanka's mental health program developed in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004.
The Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 was devastating to coastal regions in South Asia, particularly so to Sri Lanka where 30,000 people died and 6,000 people were never found. The government of Sri Lanka aptly recognised the mental devastation that was caused by the disaster. Part of their recovery and reconstruction program was a community-based mental health service through a year-long diploma course for medical officers to provide psychosocial support. This is particularly instructional for Bangladesh where we struggle with not having enough human resources to provided mental health services and where the prevalence of mental illness is estimated to be as high as 31 percent of our population. With a population of 160 million people, that number amounts to almost 50 million people. Displacement is also a widespread consequence during floods and cyclones as people have to move to higher land.
This is not to undermine the importance of attending to the Rohingya crisis as a man-made disaster, rather to point out that a more progressive effort is required in designing disaster management interventions in Bangladesh. While the model used to address the Indian Ocean Tsunami aftermath is a good example to follow, with particular regard to the Rohingya situation, there a similar intervention in Sri Lanka that could prove to be a more useful example.
This was an intervention developed at the end of the chronic civil war that devastated Sri Lanka, mainly the north and east of Sri Lanka. The Tamil population in particular of which a million people were estimated to have been displaced. Dr Daya Somasundaram a senior professor of psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, and a consultant psychiatrist working in northern Sri Lanka for over two decades does a psycho-ecological study in his book called 'Scarred Communities', on long term man-made and natural disasters and community based interventions in Sri Lanka.
DISPLACEMENT TRAUMA
A major consequence of the civil war was internal and external displacement of the Tamils resulting in 'collective trauma'. The book includes recommendations for community-based psychosocial services as psychological effects were not at an individual level and were further perpetuated by collective fears. For long term sustainability and effectiveness, the capacity for psychosocial work had to be developed within the state structures and institutions functioning at the ground level, particularly in the war-affected areas. In view of the widespread traumatisation and consequences of the war, affecting large numbers of the population, the task force identified state officers working at the Divisional level as those dealing directly with the public and thus most suitable to target for the psychosocial training.
Determining long-term effects and interventions is cumbersome due to the nature and complexity of the situation of the Rohingyas. The aftermath of being persecuted and driven out of one's land, experiencing and witnessing immense violence, results in post-traumatic stress which has been reported by the International Organization for Migration(IOM) and many development organizations that work with Rohingya refugees. The presentation by the Shuchona foundation and the WHO, at the international conference also discussed the prevalence of a feeling of displacement among the refugees. According to a study by the IOM working with refugees reported 40 percent of refugees cited "not being recognised as citizens" as psychologically destabilising. Here too the issue of an adequate supply of mental health professionals has been reported where one counsellor is available for a camp of 10,000 people.
Displacement is both a psycho-social and physical reality for the Rohingyas. The repatriation of the Rohingyas back to Myanmar being a painstaking disputed process in itself gives no immediate indication as to what the future holds for the Rohingya refugees. The only determined reality for the Rohingyas is 'displacement'. The Rohingyas have been displaced from their home country, taking refuge in Cox's Bazar from where it is obvious that they will be displaced again either back to their home country or, as the Bangladesh government is planning, to another island until their repatriation process is complete. Yet the current disaster risk management initiatives does not have a model for psychosocial support that strongly addresses displacement, through the help of training perhaps the army and state forces working their along with development practitioners working at the refugee camps.

If you're a frequent traveler you may be familiar with the REAL ID Act, especially if you live in a state that isn't compliant. The measure, passed by Congress in 2005 calls for the standardization of all state-issued driver licenses and ID cards.1 It creates a mandate on Federal agencies regarding the type of identification they can accept for official purposes, but states are not required to comply. The intent of the Act is to enhance national security by reducing identification fraud.
Even though participation by states is voluntary, as of January 22, 2018, travelers from states that are not in compliance (or received an extension to comply) with the REAL ID Act will need to show an alternate form of identification, such as a U.S. passport, if they want to board federally regulated commercial aircraft.2 Federal agencies are also prohibited from accepting driver licenses or identification cards from noncompliant states to access Federal facilities, or enter nuclear power plants.
The impact of the REAL ID Act may go beyond identification for official Federal purposes. Noncompliance with the REAL ID Act can offer an inroad for fraudsters to circumvent identity verification solutions.
For enterprises that use photo-capture technology that rely solely on visual verification of a document to authenticate applicants during account opening, noncompliance with the REAL ID Act can help fraudsters slip through undetected.
Photo-capture solutions allow consumers to take a photo of their driver license (or other form of government-issued ID) to capture and extract the information on the ID and convert it to the application. This can simplify the onboarding process and can provide a positive customer experience.
The drawback of image-based verification is that many fake IDs can pass photo-capture technology checks because they are either from a state not compliant with the REAL ID Act or are produced by fraudsters who have developed a way to conform to all the known templates for the issuing state.
While the visual elements of a fake ID may appear to be in order, often the identity information on these IDs has either been manipulated or completely manufactured.
Many photo-capture solutions focus on validating the document and look for signs that an ID may be counterfeit, but they stop there. This can create 'backdoors' for fraudsters who are skilled at impersonating identities. Therefore, it is equally important to take a data-driven approach to authenticate the identity information associated with the document. This helps assess the validity of the personally identifiable information on the ID and if it has been associated with other identities or fraud in the past.
As the market becomes more saturated with highly sophisticated counterfeit documents that can potentially pass image-capture screens, innovative companies leveraging photo-capture solutions for authentication should consider adopting a comprehensive data-driven strategy that examines both the document and the identity, helping to protect their customer experience – and their business.

Stories that demonstrate our value
Fast-growing global distributor gains scalability and control with Azure
Air Business is a market leader in global mail, fulfilment, distribution and subscription management. The company distributes 300 million items a year and has enjoyed growth of 700% under the ownership of An Post, the Irish Post Office. With help from Bytes, Air Business is now able to scale its business using the cloud, whilst also controlling costs.
Air Business had plans to grow and meet increasing customer demand. It was decided that migrating more IT services to the cloud would help achieve these goals, as the cloud is renowned for boosting scalability, control, security and overall modernisation. The company was already using Microsoft Azure cloud services for software development, but this was on an old subscription. It was aiming to move its core infrastructure and other services to Azure, whilst maintaining control and security of the environment. To prevent uncontrolled costs, it also wanted the ability to predict cloud spend easily. Air Business also needed a quick solution. It was working on a project with tight deadlines for a large new customer. Its on-premise server capacity couldn't meet the demands of this customer, so the company had to decide whether to replace the hardware or bring forward its cloud migration plan.
"The Air Business team enjoyed working with Bytes as part of an extended team to deliver this project. Bytes' expertise gave us the confidence required to deliver this quite complex core infrastructure re-design. Knowing we could rely on Bytes to be available at short notice when we need them was key."
Technical Director, Air Business
The Bytes Solution
Air Business needed help finding a new Azure subscription that could meet its growth plans and customer demand. The company knew that specialist assistance would also be required to architect this new subscription with core infrastructure. Bytes experts got to work finding a new Azure subscription. They moved Air Business from its old Enterprise Agreement (EA) to a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program (CSP). This enabled the company to add/remove seats monthly instead of annually. It also offered pay-as-you-go as opposed to an annual bill. This meant Air Business only paid for compute used and could save money at a time of increased growth – something rare to achieve. To design the right cloud environment, Bytes' architects partnered with cloud consultancy EEC. Both teams worked together to ensure existing core infrastructure worked with the new subscription and subsequent migration. Air Business was impressed with the Bytes Cloud Platform Management (CPM) tool and decided to take it up. This award-winning service monitors cloud spend and can prove invaluable to businesses using the cloud. Bytes' dedicated training specialists also ensured existing EA training vouchers didn't go unused by Air Business.
Switching to a CSP for its Azure subscription gave Air Business the flexibility needed to grow without incurring huge costs. This CSP enabled the company to change seats monthly and pay only for what compute it used. With its new subscription firmly in place, Air Business could migrate more services to the cloud and deliver its project to a new customer on time. To control cloud costs, Air Business now use the Bytes Cloud Platform Management (CPM) tool to track and control spending, which has revolutionised the company's approach to cloud spend. Air Business was delighted with Bytes' knowledge and service, and it plans to work with Bytes again in the future for other IT solutions.
