120 km away from Agartala, the place is connected by bus from Agartala and Udaipur. The panorama of transparent waving water cover the vast span and the deep green dots of islands in their midst are fascinating. A ride by motorboat or floating aimlessly on a country boat listening to the murmur of little waves of the Lake, under the setting sun or in a moonlit night is a source of inexplicable joy and a soothing memory. Nearby is Tirthamukh, a popular pilgrim centre where tribal and non-tribal people assemble there to take bath during Uttarayan Sankranti.

A geographical analysis of septic tank system problems in DuPage County
Charles J. Gilmore
Reinemann, Martin W.||Caldwell, Loren T.
Sewage disposal; Water--Pollution
Many of the problems which beset man are a direct result of his lack of understanding his environment. This study deals with problems which result from the use of septic tank systems for sewage disposal. The problems are related to the environment and to man's use of the environment. Areas in which conditions are most liable to foster pollution of ground water by sewage effluent from septic tank systems were selected for this study. The areas for this study were limited to those in DuPage County in which the unconsolidated material is less than 100 feet thick and has a rapid to moderate rate of permeability. Ground water samples were taken from wells in these areas and tested to determine the content of ABS. It was assumed the presence of the chemical ABS would indicate other possible pollution. Eight out of twenty wells from which samples were obtained, indicated a trace of apparent ABS in the test. Seven of the eight are located in the Elmhurst Area. The other polluted well is located on an isolated farm in the Naperville Area. This study indicates that a high density of septic tank systems in a given area is an important factor in ground water pollution by septic tank systems. The thickness of the unconsolidated material is probably of secondary importance. The importance of the permeability of the unconsolidated material as a factor in pollution of ground water is not altered by this study. It seems reasonable that permeability is an important factor in this problem. All of the wells from which samples were obtained in the residentially congested areas average almost 100 feet in depth. Wells with less depth might have produced more evidence of pollution, but no such well logs were filed from the areas studied. Also, drought conditions have existed in DuPage County for seventeen consecutive months prior to this study. This may have some effect on ground water pollution by septic tank systems. Further study is necessary to determine the quality of the ground water in DuPage County and to maintain the public health as the population increases.

Space information: Astronomers are sure the Milky Way 'violently' consumed every other galaxy
THE Milky Way galaxy violently gobbled a neighboring cluster of stars and planets about 10 billion years in the past, astronomers have shockingly announced.
Galaxies like our Milky Way frequently collide with each other whilst attracted via their effective gravitation pull. The galactic mergers are generally innocent – there's too much empty space between planets and stars for them to connect – however it indicates how dynamic the cosmos is. In March 2019, for instance, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope witnessed the merger of two galaxies together dubbed NGC 6052. And now, for the first time, astronomers at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) have established how the Milky Way took element in a galactic ceremonial dinner of its personal 10 billion years ago.
In a have a look at posted on Monday in the magazine Nature Astronomy, scientists diagnosed a "violent collision" in the Milky Way's earliest days.
The IAC stated: "Thirteen thousand million years in the past stars started to shape in one of a kind stellar structures which then merged: one became a dwarf galaxy which we name Gaia-Enceladus, and the opposite changed into the main progenitor of our galaxy, a few 4 times extra massive and with a bigger proportion of metals.
"Some ten thousand tens of millions of years in the past, there was a violent collision between the extra-large system and Gaia-Enceladus.
"As a result, a number of its stars and this of Gaia-Enceladus had been set into chaotic motion, and in the end fashioned the halo of the existing Milky Way."
After that, the IAC said there have been greater "violent bursts of star formation" until approximately six billion years ago.
As quickly because the stellar gas settled into the galactic disc, they fashioned the Milky Way's so-known as the thin disc.
The thin disc is a characteristic of spiral galaxies like the Milky Way and carries famous person clusters, stellar dirt, and gas.
Because of our sun gadget's role within the galactic aircraft, astronomers have been capable of look at the disc in the notable element.
And due to the fact skinny discs are home to giant portions of dust and gas, they're often taken into consideration a breeding ground for new stars to shape.
So, how exactly did the astronomers come to these conclusions about the Milky Way?
Using the outstanding Gaia area telescope, the IAC examine charted the position, brightness, and distance of almost one million stars inside the Milky Way.
This allowed the astronomers to examine and assessment stars within the galaxy's thick disc – a place around the skinny disc – and the galaxy's glowing halo.
Stars within the halo were discovered to be bluer and had a smaller quantity of metals in their composition.
The contrary became authentic for "redder" stars within the thick disc.
This difference lead the researchers to consider the bluer stars were the remnants of a dwarf galaxy – Gaia-Enceladus.
The IAC said: "These findings, with the addition of the predictions of simulations which can be also analysed in the article, have allowed the researchers to complete the records of the formation of the Milky Way."

About Temptation
"Temptation" is a popular song published in 1933, with music written by Nacio Herb Brown and lyrics by Arthur Freed. The song was introduced by Bing Crosby in the 1933 film Going Hollywood. Crosby recorded the song with Lennie Hayton's orchestra on October 22, 1933 and it reached the No. 3 spot in the charts of the day during a 12-week stay. He recorded it again with John Scott Trotter's Orchestra on March 3, 1945 and also for his 1954 album Bing: A Musical Autobiography. The song was used in the film Singin' in the Rain (1952) and later in the 1983 musical based on the film, and is prominently featured in Valerio Zurlini's Violent Summer (1959). more »
You came, I was alone
I should have known you were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone, you were temptation
It would be thrilling
If you were willing
If it can never be
Pity me for you are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart, take it and say
We'll never part
I'm just a slave
Only a slave to you, temptation
You were born to be kissed
I can't resist.
You are temptation and I am yours

Introduction: As chest pain is an important symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the presentation of the symptom often prompts referral to a cardiologist for further investigation. The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients referred to a cardiology outpatient clinic for performing the stress test.
Patients and Methods: Two hundred and fifty consecutive outpatients referred for evaluation of chest pain by the stress test at a government cardiology clinic from April 2010 to November 2010 were asked to participate in the study. We estimated the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms, as assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, in a sample of patients with chest pain.
Results: The prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms was estimated to be 42% and 31%, respectively, in the total chest pain population. Males with abnormal test were depressed but females experienced more anxiety symptoms. Patients with negative tests had significantly higher scores for anxiety and higher depression scores than those with positive tests. Eleven percent of the patients with positive tests were women and 23% were men.
Conclusion: Determining a patient's anxiety disorder history may assist the clinician in identifying, especially, women with angina who are at a lower risk of underlying CAD.
As chest pain is an important symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the presentation of the symptom often prompts referral to a cardiologist for further investigation.
However, often, no organic pathology is found. Besides, patients with chest pain but no evidence of heart disease, as a group, have an excellent prognosis for survival and a future risk of cardiac morbidity similar to that reported in the general population.  These patients continued to have poor quality of life and social and occupational disability. Both physical and psychological factors have been studied as suggested causes of chest pain.
Microvascular angina, mitral valve prolapse, esophageal motility disorders, hyperventilation syndromes and chest wall syndromes have been suggested as physical causes. As it is possible to treat these disorders effectively, their recognition is important.
However, the disorder is rarely recognized by physicians.  Possible reasons for that, in addition to lack of knowledge about the disorder, may be lack of validated screening instruments.
Furthermore, physicians may be reluctant to enquire about the psychological symptoms in these patients, as it has been supposed that patients are defensive about symptoms being due to mental illness.  With this background, the present study was designed to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients referred to a cardiology outpatient clinic for performing the stress test.
The research protocol was accepted by the Regional Ethics Committee, Yasouj, in April 2010.
In the present cross-sectional study, we estimated the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms, as assessed by the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), in a sample of patients with chest pain.
Instrument used anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed with the HADS, designed to measure the cognitive symptomatology of depressed mood and anxiety. , The HADS is a well-validated measure and has been used extensively in other chronic disease populations. The HADS was developed by Zigmond and Snaith in 1983 to provide clinicians and scientists with a reliable, valid and practical screening tool for identifying the two most common forms of psychological distress in medical patients - anxiety and depression.  The scale consists of 14 items and measures two constructs, anxiety and depression, with cut-off points for severity (scores: 0-7 normal; 8-10 borderline and 15-21 case).  A chest pain form was filled out by the cardiologist for each patient during the cardiac evaluation.
The form was constructed by the investigators to obtain data of patients' previous or current medical diseases, current medication and risk factors for CAD (family history, smoking habits, diabetes, treated hypertension, hyperlipidemia). According to these data, patients underwent physical examination, and if there is no contraindication for exercise stress test, then they are referred for it. Those who cannot tolerate the stress test were excluded from the study.
In addition, the appearance of typical chest pain and decrease in systolic blood pressure of 10 mmHg during exercise would contribute to the diagnosis.
With none of these signs present, the test was considered negative for CAD.  The cardiologists were not informed of the results of the psychiatric interviews. For the purpose of final diagnostic classification, all chest pain forms and results of the cardiologic investigations were reviewed by an independent cardiologist, blind to the results of the psychiatric interview. This review did not lead to any changes in the initial classification of diagnosis.
The prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms were estimated using the HADS cut-off points for "mild to severe anxiety and depression scores (scores 8-10 mild, 11-14 moderate and 15-21 severe)."
Non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the levels of anxiety and depression in the different subgroups of patients with chest pain. The anxiety and depression scores were dichotomized by the following cut-off points prior to regression analyses: 8-21 for mild to severe anxiety/depression scores versus 0-7 for a normal score.
The odds ratios (OR) for mild to severe anxiety and depression were estimated using logistic regression with adjustment for relevant confounders. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit was run on the fully adjusted anxiety and depression models to check for an adequate fit of the data. In the logistic regression analyses, the effect of adjustment for age and gender are shown separately from the fully adjusted model to enhance the transparency of the analysis. All tests were two-tailed. The difference was considered statistically significant when P ≤ 0.05.
Questionnaires were filled by patients before entering the examination room, and the overall response rate was 100% (n=192).
The prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms was estimated to be 42% and 31%, respectively, in the total chest pain population. In total, 15% of the study population had an abnormal stress test. Of the 192 included patients, 65% were women and 35% were men. Age ranged from 20 to 65 years, with a mean of 50.4 years. Patients with abnormal HADS scores were significantly younger (mean age 35 ± 10.0 vs. 54 ± 8 years, P = 0.01), more likely to be female [in the anxiety group 50% (62) vs. 29% (20), P = 0.02 and in the depressed group 35.0% (44) vs. 25% (17), P = 0.04].
There were no significant differences in marital status. The prevalence of "mild," "moderate" and "severe" anxiety and depression scores, by gender and cardiovascular status, are presented in [Table 1] and [Table 2].
The prevalence of "mild" anxiety in females with a normal test was more than double that of females with an abnormal test, and men with normal test experienced more "moderate" to "severe" anxiety compared with men with an abnormal test, but they were more depressed. We also found differences between cardiovascular status and gender: males with an abnormal test were depressed but females experienced more anxiety symptoms. Patients with negative tests had significantly higher scores for anxiety and higher depression scores than those with positive tests. Eleven percent of the patients with positive tests were women compared with 23% men. The probability of a negative test in patients without anxiety or depression who had typical pain was 8% in males and 32% in females. The probability of a negative test in patients who were both anxious and depressed and had atypical pain was 97% in males and 99% in females.
Of the 192 patients who could tolerate the exercise stress test, 15% had an abnormal stress test. Significantly, patients with abnormal HADS scores were registered positively for current smoking [57.9% (44/76) vs. 34.1% (42/123), P = 0.001)]. A significant difference was also found for the mean number of risk factors (2.2 ± 1.3 vs. 2.1 ± 1.1, P = 0.02), while no statistically significant differences were found for single risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high glucose and lipid profiles.
We cannot exclude the possibility that patients experiencing anxiety and depression are overrepresented in our sample and may introduce potential bias as those who responded possibly experienced symptoms of anxiety and depression. The sociodemographic and clinical data were self-reported by the patients. Ideally, we should have validated the patient-reported information against their medical records, but were not able to do so because of time and resource limitations.

How do you get athletes motivated?
How do you get them to show up on days when they really don't feel like it?
Help the find the "why". Why are you doing this?
When I ask athletes this, this is usually what they say. "Well, I want play in college." Then I ask, why do you want to play in college?
They then say they don't really know. They haven't thought about that. You want them to get into the details of what it means to go to college.
Do you want to go to any college? Community college? Why do you want to go there? Is there a special program there? Do you want to live close to home?
Or do you want to go to a Division I college?
You want to get the athlete to spell it out for you. Write it down and re-visit this often. Get into detail is the key to motivation.
At some level they need to want to play for their teammates. And at some level, they need to want to play for their coach. When they don't want to let their teammates down and don't want to let their coach down, they'll play at an extremely high level.
How do you create an environment where the kid is going to play for their coach?
"Winning isn't everything-- but wanting to win is."
Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it - His mind, his body and his heart - what is life worth to him?" "Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him."
Only those who can see the invisible, can accomplish the impossible.
The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
- Oliver Wendall Holmes. Sr.
Lifes TOUGH and its gonna get worse AFTER I BEAT YOU!

Q: Have a PHP script detect if a new file has been uploaded and log information about that file to MySql? I am doing something rather complex here (for me at least), and I'm not sure where to look in terms of resources. I don't need anyone to write this for me, maybe just a link where I can find a tutorial?
I have a folder on my website that holds all the articles on that site. I also have a MySql database that holds a table of contents for the articles. Right now I have to manually edit the MySql database every time I upload a new directory. I was wondering if I am able to automate this with PHP.
Each of the articles is a separate subdirectory with an index.html file inside of it, along with any subpages and images. How do I detect when a new article has been uploaded to the main folder, find out the location of said article, as well as read an XML (or JSON? I'm not sure yet, which do you suggest?) file inside the article directory that defines the Name of the article, the data it was created, and other information and log all that to the Mysql Database?
This code must not log an article twice, as the information within the database will be picked up by another script that will display a list of all my articles.
i am wondering if the idea I have is even do-able, or does it need to be thrown away? If it is possible, are there any resources that offer tutorials on things related to this?

The 1982 American League Championship Series was played between the Milwaukee Brewers and the California Angels from October 5 to 10, 1982. Milwaukee won the series three games to two to advance to the franchise's first World Series, where they would lose to the St. Louis Cardinals, four games to three. The 1982 ALCS was marked by a dramatic comeback by the Brewers, who lost the first two games of the series and were trailing late in the final game, and the series was the first League Championship Series where the home team won every game.

The series was noteworthy as being the first to feature a matchup between two "expansion" teams (i.e., franchises not included among the 16 operating in the major leagues for most of the first half of the 20th century), for featuring two teams that had never before won a pennant, and for being the first time a team came from a 2–0 deficit to win the series.

This was the first ALCS not to feature the Athletics, Orioles, or Yankees.

Summary

Milwaukee Brewers vs. California Angels

Game summaries

Game 1
Tuesday, October 5, 1982, at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California

The Angels jumped to a 1–0 lead in the first when Brian Downing scored an unearned run on a sacrifice fly by Don Baylor. Milwaukee came back to take a 3–1 lead with a two-run homer by Gorman Thomas in the second and a run scored by Paul Molitor on a groundout in the third. But the Angels took back the lead for good in their half of the third with a four-run rally highlighted by Baylor's two-run triple. Baylor capped off a five-RBI game with a two-run single in the fourth, and the Angels got another run in the fifth when eventual series MVP Fred Lynn homered. California starter Tommy John, who lent his name to the famous surgical procedure, settled down after the third and gave the Brewers little over the final six innings on his way to a complete-game victory.

Game 2
Wednesday, October 6, 1982, at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California

California got off to a 4–0 lead in Game 2 and never looked back. The Angels got two in the second on an RBI single from Tim Foli and a squeeze bunt by Bob Boone. California's Reggie Jackson homered in the third to make it 3–0, and Boone plated the Angels' fourth run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. The Brewers made a game of it in the fifth on Paul Molitor's two-run inside-the-park homer, but could get no closer the rest of the way against the strong pitching of Bruce Kison.  Those complete-game efforts helped produce the snappy 2:06 time of game. California was now up 2–0 in the series and needed only one more win for the franchise's first trip to the World Series.

Game 3
Friday, October 8, 1982, at County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The series moved to Milwaukee and produced the Brewers' first win. Milwaukee opened the scoring in the fourth with three runs on an RBI double by Cecil Cooper, who would eventually get the series-winning hit, and sacrifice flies by Gorman Thomas and Don Money. Paul Molitor got two more runs for Milwaukee with a seventh-inning homer, this one over the fence. Brewers starter Don Sutton pitched strongly for the first seven innings but tired in the eighth, yielding three runs on a Bob Boone homer and doubles by Fred Lynn and Don Baylor. Pete Ladd came out of the Milwaukee bullpen to get the final four outs for the save.

Game 4
Saturday, October 9, 1982, at County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Brewers again staved off elimination and evened the series in a rather sloppy but high-scoring Game 4. The teams combined for five errors to allow three unearned runs. Milwaukee built a 6–0 lead with three-run rallies in the second and fourth. The Brewers got a lot of help from two California errors and three wild pitches by Angels starter Tommy John, who took the loss. The teams traded runs in the sixth: Fred Lynn doubled home Reggie Jackson for the Angels, and Jim Gantner singled home Mark Brouhard for the Brewers. Brouhard, who only appeared in 40 regular season games, was subbing for Ben Oglivie. Brouhard contributed 3 hits, 4 runs and 3 RBI's in this, the only postseason appearance of his career. California rallied for four runs in the eighth on a grand slam by Don Baylor to cut Milwaukee's lead to 7–5. But the Brewers bounced back with a two-run homer by Brouhard in the bottom of the inning to put the game away and level the series 2–2.

Game 5
Sunday, October 10, 1982, at County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Game 5 proved to be the most dramatic of the series. The Angels got a quick 1–0 lead in the first on a double by Brian Downing and a single by Fred Lynn. But Milwaukee tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Paul Molitor doubled and eventually came home on a sacrifice fly by Ted Simmons. The Angels made it 2–1 in the third on an RBI single from Fred Lynn, and stretched the lead to 3–1 in the fourth on a run-scoring single from Bob Boone. Milwaukee cut the lead to 3–2 in the bottom of the fourth on Ben Oglivie's homer. In the 5th inning, the Angels nearly threatened again, until Reggie Jackson was thrown out trying to reach third on a Fred Lynn single. The score remained unchanged until the bottom of the seventh, when disaster struck the Angels. Milwaukee loaded the bases on two singles and a walk. Cecil Cooper then cracked the series-winning hit, a two-run single that put the Brewers ahead 4–3. The Milwaukee bullpen kept the Angels off the board in the final two innings, helped by a spectacular catch by reserve outfielder Marshall Edwards, robbing Don Baylor of extra bases. The Angels threatened again in the 9th with a runner on second, and Rod Carew at the plate. Pete Ladd got Carew to ground out to Robin Yount, and the Brewers took home the franchise's first and only American League pennant and its only World Series appearance to date.

Aftermath
1982 would not be the closest the Angels got to winning a pennant in the 1980s. In 1986, the Angels were up 3-1 in the AL Championship Series, leading 5-2 in ninth inning, and within one strike of their first-ever AL pennant. Dave Henderson of the opposing Red Sox caught hold of a Donnie Moore forkball and launched a home run into the left field seats to give the Red Sox a momentary, 6-5 lead on the top of the ninth inning. The Red Sox would go on to win the game 7-6 in eleven innings and complete the 3-1 series comeback. It would not be until 2002 when the Angels won their first pennant, on their way to their first World Series in franchise history.

On the 1986 Angels roster was Don Sutton, who was traded from Milwaukee to Oakland in 1985. He nearly retired upon being traded to Oakland, but continued pitching and was later traded to the California Angels at the 1985 trade deadline. Coming into the 1986 season, Sutton had 295 career victories. He struggled early in the season, but earned his 300th career win on June 18 that year, pitching a complete game against the Texas Rangers in which he allowed only three hits and one run while striking out Gary Ward for the final out of the game. Sutton was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.

This was the Milwaukee Brewers last and only AL pennant, as they moved to the National League in 1998. The Brewers have yet to win a pennant since moving to the NL.

What marketing efforts will you continue with in the new year? What will you leave behind?
What are my business priorities this year?
What have I learned about my business and m costumer in the past year?
What is my budget for this year?
Once you have these things in mind..
Here are 4 ways your fashion brand can work on improving marketing in the new year.
Set KPIs that matter for your brand. And that are realistic.
For example if your brand is focusing on video content, consider video views has a priority. If what your brand really needs is for people to go to the site to interact with content, then consider referral traffic and time on site. In the end, every brand needs conversion, but other measurements sometimes need to come first – i.e. awareness that your brand is out there. In regards to awareness, consider social traction such as likes, comments, shares, and follows.
Set budgets that will help you fulfill your goals.
Budgets can be tough to work with if you don't have a lot, but it doesn't mean you can't find workarounds and tests…even new ones. Do your best to buffer your budget so you have a little extra later in the year for a new test, as well as adding more to something that is doing very well. For example if you invested in creating new content and need more visuals for your product showcase, consider using the extra money for great high res photos and videos to promote it further.
Be nimble with your efforts.
Try things, work fast, test quickly, learn, and adapt and modify on the fly. That's the best part of using channels like social media. It allows you to see what content is working, what media posts are helping to boost your content, and of course which channels are actually reaching your audience on the levels you need. It allows you to determine within weeks or even days what you should invest more in, versus dump and move on.
Time has flown when it comes to social media and the channels that work. We've adapted to the snapchats and periscopes of the world, but we also realize that without great content, the channels don't mean as much. We need content that will resonate and connect with our audiences, before we can even think through partners and distribution.

The prohibition of pro-LGBT rights apparel violates students' free speech rights, according to the lawsuit.
"The preliminary injunction is an important first step," said ACLU of Tennessee Director Hedy Weinberg.
"As we move forward, the school system will be able to lay out their argument," Weinberg said. "Until that time, our plaintiff and any other student can express their support for equal treatment, acceptance and respect for LGBT people."
The injunction, filed by United States District Judge Kevin Sharp, also says Giles County school employees cannot prohibit students from wearing apparel "bearing the rainbow symbol or other symbols and phrases associated with LGBT rights."
Richland High School senior Rebecca Young wore a shirt that read "Some People Are Gay, Get Over It" in August.
On the day she wore the shirt, Richland High Principal Micah Landers told Young she could not wear that T-shirt or other shirts referencing LGBT rights, the lawsuit says. Giles County Director of Schools Phillip Wright said pro-LGBT messages are sexual in nature and therefore prohibited by the school's dress code, according to court documents.
Young probably will succeed on the merits of her claims of free speech violations because her T-shirt did not disrupt the school environment, according to court documents.
"Plaintiff brings suit to stop her school from censoring her expression of her views on a topic of undeniable political importance. The legal ground covering such issues is so well-trod that the Court finds itself surprised at the need to journey down this path," a court document says.
Wright and Landers did not respond to Young's motion for a preliminary injunction, a court document says.
Wright and Landers did not return a request for comment by time of publication. The school system is on winter break.
Giles County students return to school Tuesday, Jan. 5, according to the school district's calendar.
ACLU sues Giles school officials for banning pro-LGBT shirt

Perilous Path Of The Rural Economy
Written by Subhash Agrawal | Updated: May 9 2002, 05:30am hrs
India lives in the villages. An unremarkable cliche, mentioned frequently at seminars but rarely understood in totality. As true today as it was in 1959 when Arthur Bonner, then the CBS correspondent in Delhi, wrote a seminal essay in The Atlantic Monthly on Indias emerging realities and how 20 per cent of villagers surveyed across the nation had never even heard of the name Bharat. But then the Green Revolution happened, Nehrus obsession with materials over men seemed the right choice, rural India prospered, the country became self-sufficient in food and everybody agreed that it was a great thing. It was, up to a point.
But the Green Revolution is now running out of steam, and agriculture is becoming increasingly unprofitable for both farmers and the country as a whole. The rural economy may constitute only 30 per cent of the countrys GDP, but it still holds over 70 per cent of the population and remains a crucial determinant of overall growth and political fortune, in addition to being an important demand base for industry. It already comprises about 15 per cent of total exports, and if the government could ease up on its fixation with food security and allow the export of our embarrassing food reserves, or minimise horticultural wastage, the country could earn another $ 5 billion annually. Further, inclusive of all subsidies, entitlements, exemptions and development funds, the rural economy very probably gets in excess of 50 per cent of budgetary allocations, perhaps even as high as 60 per cent. And that is not even taking into account the fact that farm income is totally tax-exempt, or that the government mandates concessional bank credit to farmers, slated to cross $ 15 bn this year, a large part of which is never returned.
As can be expected, much of this largesse comes at the expense of other national priorities, but the most insidious aspect of rural subsidies has been on Indias power sector: the rural economy accounts for a third of total electricity consumption in the country and almost $ 5 bn of annual subsidy. That is about five times what the government spends on education. Subsidised power and lop-sided tariff structures are the reason why almost all state-owned power utilities are so badly broke, why no foreign investor is willing to put up a power project in India without watertight sovereign guarantees of payment, and why much of the country has to go without power for hours daily through most of the year.
Despite these entitlements, the rural sector is headed for a big crisis. First, bureaucratic corruption and duplication of all manner of wasteful expenditure have ensured that many of these entitlements have never reached the average villager. Second, real investment in agriculture has declined from 1.6 per cent of GDP in 1993 to 1.3 per cent in 1999, and in fact ground reports from many states show how much of the irrigation infrastructure from the days of the Green Revolution is now under severe disrepair. Third, rapid rural population growth has led to greater fragmentation of land and economically unviable operations: one indicator is that small holdings, that is less than 2 hectare, have increased from 70 per cent of total farmland in 1970-71 to over 80 per cent currently. Next, across much of India, there is now an extreme water crisis in terms of rapidly dropping underground water tables. Finally, the rural economy remains vulnerable to inflation because of high dependence on informal credit, has few safety nets or opportunities for expansion, and a deadly mix of illiteracy, government largesse and stifling controls that has led to a vicious cycle of dependency and demoralisation.
All of these problems in large part explain the rise of caste-based political parties in India, since the only sure thing an average villager has going for him is a larger caste-based network. Rural voter turnout has increased rapidly over the past twenty years in contrast to the urban elite which has become more cynical and detached from the political process crossing over 65 per cent in 1999, perhaps a world record of sorts. And the percentage of members of parliament belonging to the farming class has more than doubled in the last thirty years.
India is on a dangerous double track, with the rural-urban linkage being extremely uneasy and artificial. Rural-to-urban migration is becoming a sociological and economic problem of huge proportions, and is the reason why so many cities are becoming shanty towns if not outright slums. The rural economy needs urgent re-conceptualisation and integration within the mainstream. This is especially true if we want to achieve over seven per cent growth for the next decade, an oft-repeated goal and the minimum prerequisite to eradicating poverty in one generation.
Despite substantial shifts in national output, India will not be able to achieve any of its goals by leaving 70 per cent of its population virtually untouched, which is precisely what is happening. However, the positive side is that most future growth industries and opportunities, the real big ideas, revolve around the rural sector, in areas such as food processing, healthcare and inland waterways. But no amount of change, even if it is positive, will be without immediate pain. Considering the enormous electoral clout of rural voters, India will need some very capable and bold leadership to steer the rural economy away from isolation and populist measures which have proven to be the main cause of this unfolding crisis.

NASHVILLE – Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam today announced the next step in the Drive to 55: ensuring that colleges and universities are organized, supported and empowered in efforts to increase the number of Tennesseans with a postsecondary credential to 55 percent by 2025.
To enhance student success across higher education the plan includes key strategies to provide more focused support for community and technical colleges, increase autonomy and local control for Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) universities and strengthen the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC).
For the 2015-2016 school year – the first year of Tennessee Promise and Reconnect – there was a 24.7 percent increase in first-time freshmen enrollment at community colleges and a 20 percent increase in first-time freshmen at Tennessee colleges of applied technology (TCATs).
And creation of a transition task force consisting of higher education, business, and community leaders from around the state that will serve as the administrative and advisory body throughout the transition.
Currently TBR oversees 46 colleges and universities ranging from technical colleges to medical and law schools. Under Haslam's proposal, TBR would have a concentrated focus on the state's 13 community colleges and 27 TCATs, as other elements of the plan free up TBR to give more attention to enrollment and student success challenges that have emerged while trying to increase the number of Tennesseans pursuing credentials in higher education.
The six state universities under TBR would have increased autonomy by transitioning from sole TBR oversight to a new model that would include a local governing board. These boards would appoint the campus president, manage the university budget and set tuition, and oversee other operational tasks. TBR would continue to provide key administrative support to the six state universities.
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission would assume an enhanced coordinating role in higher education, ensuring progress on a cohesive, statewide master plan for higher education; maintaining academic program quality; formulate a strategic finance plan for state higher education that incorporates tuition, capital and funding formula components and setting binding tuition and capital recommendations.
By 2025, 55 percent of the jobs available in Tennessee will require a postsecondary credential, and currently only 33 percent of Tennesseans qualify. The governor launched his Drive to 55 two years ago to increase the number of Tennesseans with a postsecondary degree or certificate.

Candy Crush Friends Saga Hits $200 Million as Franchise Breaks $1 Billion in 2020
Candy Crush Friends Saga from King has surpassed $200 million in lifetime player spending, according to Sensor Tower Store Intelligence estimates.
Launched in October 2018, the title is the fourth entry into the Candy Crush series on mobile. Friends Saga is the No. 3 grossing game in the franchise so far in 2020, generating approximately $68 million or close to double Candy Crush Jelly Saga's total of about $37 million. The original Candy Crush Saga remains one of the world's most lucrative mobile titles, having accumulated more than $720 million this year to date. Friends Saga's performance is notable, as it's the first release in the series that is generating more revenue each month than its predecessor, in this case Jelly Saga. Combined, the Candy Crush mobile titles have generated more than $1 billion so far this year.
Using Sensor Tower's Game Taxonomy to identify the top grossing Classic Match 3 mobile games in the United States in 2020 to date, we can see that Candy Crush Saga, Candy Crush Soda Saga, and Candy Crush Friends Saga rank No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 for player spending, respectively. Jelly Saga, meanwhile, ranks No. 8. This shows the dominance that King has in the popular puzzle subgenre, which it has maintained for years. When looking at all Puzzle category titles, Candy Crush Saga ranks No. 1 for player spending, while Soda Saga ranks No. 5 and Friends Saga ranks No. 15.
Candy Kingdom
Candy Crush Friends Saga has generated approximately $213 million in player spending to date. The U.S. accounts for the majority of spending, accumulating close to $141 million, or about 66 percent of total revenue. The United Kingdom ranks No. 2, while Japan rounds out the top three.
Google Play comes out on top for revenue, picking up 51 percent of all player spending, while the App Store accounts for the remaining 49 percent.
When it comes to downloads, Friends Saga has picked up approximately 62 million installs to date. The U.S. comes out on top, accumulating close to 12 million downloads, or about 19 percent of the total. India ranks No. 2 for installs, while Brazil ranks No. 3.
Google Play has taken the lion's share of downloads, accounting for 75 percent of all installs. The App Store, meanwhile, accounts for 25 percent.
Crushing it
The Candy Crush Saga series remains a gaming heavyweight eight years following the original game's mobile release, which is still one of the world's top grossing mobile titles. Each entry into the franchise has generated hundreds of millions of dollars, and Friends Saga continues that trend, while integrating a new element to the successful formula with its colourful cast of characters. With King representing the top three earners in the Classic Match 3 genre on mobile, its latest addition has cemented its leadership position in the subcategory, although the puzzle space at large remains fiercely competitive.

Thank you for the nice note, Cheryl.
This was intended to be more philosophical than emotional. I don't "crave" companionship, per se, like I did in the aftermath of the divorce, but I think psychologically it's probably a good idea for people to consider whether what's best for us might be being open to things that make us uncomfortable based on our recent life history.
Even though solitude has its merits, I agree we are social animals and we all need to connect. However, there are many types of connections and we can exist without that 'soul-mate' connection. There are many ways we can learn to fly.
There's a lot of good stuff here, Matt. Makes me wonder…..
It's pretty early in The Bible where God says, "it is not good for man to be alone." I think A LOT of divorced people are so afraid of being alone, they make some pretty terrible decisions to avoid it. What if we have to figure out how to be ok alone…..so that we can be ok again in another potential relationship? at this point in our journeys, I'm basically bankin' on it.


Alternative to Incarceration Programs (ATIs) are an integral part of the strategy that has allowed the City to reduce crime, reduce jail and prison populations, and help individuals and neighborhoods across the City. Instead of sentencing someone to jail or prison, ATIs allow a judge to sentence someone to a program where they receive treatment, education and employment training in the community, all the while remaining under strict supervision. And, if people do not succeed in these programs , the court still has the option of sentencing them to incarceration. Studies by the nation's leading criminal justice researchers have shown that ATIs reduce jail time, and successfully treat people in the community without compromising public safety. All the while, ATIs are meeting the diverse needs of the people they serve, while enhancing the quality of life of the City's most challenged communities.


At least one Texas Republican wants the party's leader, Gov. Greg Abbott, to take advantage of an upcoming special session to redraw their state's 36 congressional districts.
The concern seems to be that, because a panel of federal judges is meeting in July for a five-day trial on the state's current district boundaries, they may wind up facing less favorable political conditions in the impending 2018 midterm elections, according to a report by the Texas Tribune. Three judges in San Antonio ruled in March that the boundaries drawn up for federal congressional districts in 2011 were racially discriminatory, and in April they arrived at the same conclusion about state House districts. If the court that meets in July decides that the current state map is unconstitutional, they could impose redistricting that winds up reducing the Republicans' gerrymandered advantage in future elections.
On the other hand, using the special session to redraw the districts could help them take control of the situation.
As Republican Rep. Randy Weber told the Tribune, "I can't speak for my whole delegation but I've already reached out to some of my friends back in the legislature…I said, 'Give me a holler.' My thought is, if the legislature doesn't [redraw the map], then the court is going to drop the map, which I think is way outside their constitutional purview."
Of course, there is no way of knowing that the five-panel judge will in fact order a redistricting, which could make any move from the legislature by Texas Republicans premature.
As Rep. Bill Flores put it to the Tribune, "One attorney will tell you one thing, another attorney will tell you something different. There's more confusion than consensus."


Former Australian defence chief Angus Houston will take over coordination of the international search effort for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The retired air chief marshal will head a new joint agency coordination centre to be set up in Perth which will coordinate the search for the Boeing 777, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Sunday.
Australia's prime minister has said that the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet will not be scaled back, despite the search being slow, difficult and frustrating so far.
Ten planes and 11 ships found no sign of the missing plane in the search zone in the southern Indian Ocean, about 1,850 kilometers (1,150 miles) west of Australia, officials said.
The search area has evolved as experts analyzed Flight 370's limited radar and satellite data, moving from the seas off Vietnam, to the waters west of Malaysia and Indonesia, and then to several areas west of Australia. The search zone is now 254,000 square kilometers (98,000 square miles), about a 2.5 hour flight from Perth.
In a statement late Monday, Malaysia said the final words received by ground controllers at 1:19 am on March 8 were "Good night Malaysian three-seven-zero.'' Earlier the government said the final words were "All right, good night.'' The statement didn't explain or address the discrepancy.
The statement also said investigators were still trying to determine whether the pilot or co-pilot spoke the words.
Australia is deploying a modified Boeing 737 to act as a flying air traffic controller over the Indian Ocean to prevent a mid-air collision among the large number of aircraft searching for the Malaysia Airlines jetliner.
According to an Australian government briefing note read out to The Associated Press news agency by an official, the air force is sending an E-7A Wedgetail equipped with advanced radar to start monitoring the search zone Tuesday.
Malaysian authorities released the full transcript of communications between the pilots of missing Flight MH370 and air traffic controllers on Tuesday, saying the exchanges showed nothing unusual.
"There is no indication of anything abnormal in the transcript," a statement by Defence and Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said.
The 43 separate transmissions over nearly 54 minutes are thick with air-traffic and navigational jargon and give no hint of trouble aboard the ill-fated plane.
The transcript concludes with Malaysian air traffic control first bidding MH370 "good night", as it instructs the pilots next to contact controllers in Vietnam, over which the plane was due to fly.
The final entry from just after 1:19 am comes from one of the two MH370 pilots, who says "good night, Malaysian three seven zero".
The transcript - and particularly the final words from MH370 -- have been the subject of much speculation following earlier statements by authorities and the airline that the last transmission from the plane was a casual "All right, good night".
Tuesday's statement said the transcript was "initially held as part of the police investigation", but gave no other reason for the delay.
Malaysia Airlines had said previously that the last words were believed uttered by First Officer Fariq, but the statement said the ongoing investigation was yet to confirm that.
The investigation into what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 may take a long time and may never determine the cause of the tragedy, Malaysia's national police chief warned Wednesday.
Khalid Abu Bakar said the criminal investigation was still focused on four areas - hijacking, sabotage and personal or psychological problems of those on board the plane.
"Investigations may go on and on and on. We have to clear every little thing," Khalid said. "At the end of the investigations, we may not even know the real cause. We may not even know the reason for this incident."
Khalid said that police had conducted more than 170 interviews with family members of the pilots and crew members. ``We must be very thorough and we need all the time ... you cannot hurry us,'' he said.
Police are also investigating the cargo and even the food served on the plane to eliminate possible sabotage, he said.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak flew to Australia for briefings on the search for the missing plane and held talks with his Australian counterpart, Tony Abbott, whose country is overseeing the search operation.
In the same press briefing Abbot said his country will do everything it can to find the missing plane.
Ten planes and nine ships were involved in search operations on Thursday, scouring the ocean far off Australia's southwest corner where investigators believe the plane may have ended up after unknown events occurred on board.
Chinese state media says a ship has detected a "pulse signal" in the MH370 search zone in the southern Indian Ocean.
A Black Box locator has detected that signal but authorities have yet to determine whether it's related to the missing MH-370 flight.
Al Jazeera talks to Chris Yates, an independent Aviation analyst in Manchester.
An Australian ship has detected faint pings deep in the Indian Ocean in what an official has called the "most promising lead" yet in a month-long search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
But officials coordinating the multinational search for the missing jet still urged caution on Monday after a weekend that also brought reports of "acoustic noise" picked up by a Chinese vessel involved in the search.
Relatives of those on board have held vigils to mark the one month anniversary of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. In Beijing, family members gathered to light candles in honour of their loved ones. Out of the 239 passengers on board the aircraft, 154 were Chinese nationals.
This infographic published by the Washington post shows just how deep in the ocean the missing plane might be.
Malaysia Airlines failed to properly preserve flight recordings during an incident at London's Heathrow Airport in 2012 when a plane had to turn back because of technical problems, a report by Britain's air accidents investigator found on Thursday.
"The investigation determined that the operator's procedures for the preservation of flight recordings were not sufficiently robust to ensure that recordings would be preserved in a timely manner following an incident or accident." the report said.
The report was published as search teams continue to hunt for the airline's missing Flight 370, which disappeared in an unrelated incident last month on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard.
The newspaper cited unidentified investigative sources as saying the attempted call from co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid's phone was picked up by a cellphone tower as the plane was about 200 nautical miles northwest of the west coast state of Penang.
That was around where military radar made its last sighting of the missing jet at 2:15 a.m. local time on March 8.

Roy O. Martin and Kathy Kilpatrick Martin Give $500,000 to LSU Health Shreveport's Center for Medical Education
by Samantha Roberts | Dec 9, 2021 | News
RoyOMartin, Roy O. Martin III and Kathy Martin Give $3.5 Million to Achieve Top Capital Priorities on Three LSU Campuses
Gift to fund LSU of Alexandria Student Success Center, LSU Interdisciplinary Science Building, and LSU Health Shreveport Center for Medical Education
Martin Sustainable Resources L.L.C. and Martco L.L.C. d.b.a. RoyOMartin and LSU alumni Roy O. Martin III and Kathy Kilpatrick Martin have committed $3.5 million to advance top capital priorities on three LSU campuses: LSU of Alexandria's Student Success Center, the LSU Interdisciplinary Science Building on the flagship campus in Baton Rouge and LSU Health Shreveport's Center for Medical Education.
"This gift will provide foundational support for three of our top capital priorities," said LSU President William F. Tate IV. "The LSU of Alexandria Student Success Center, LSU Interdisciplinary Science Building and LSU Health Shreveport Center for Medical Education are critical to closing infrastructure gaps, positioning LSU to achieve ambitious goals in the areas of student and faculty recruitment, research and community impact. The Martins' support of LSU is longstanding and broad, and we are grateful for their exemplary commitment to advancing LSU as a family of interconnected campuses."
Martin Sustainable Resources L.L.C. and Martco L.L.C. d.b.a. RoyOMartin, the premier manufacturer of wood products in the Gulf South, has committed $2 million to complete funding for the LSUA Student Success Center, which is the campus's top Fierce for the Future Campaign priority. The $10 million center, slated to break ground in spring 2022, will be a central hub for student services that will serve as a front door to the university while ensuring that each LSUA student receives the level of individual support needed for success.
Construction of this dedicated student space, which is a public-private partnership with the State of Louisiana, responds to the ongoing expansion of LSUA's student body and pool of academic offerings – growth that has accelerated a need to make improvements to the campus's overall appearance and add new facilities. Further, the services offered within the Student Success Center – spanning Admissions & Recruiting, Financial Aid, Advising, First Year Experience and a Career Development Center – will bolster LSUA's retention efforts and connect students with career placement opportunities upon graduation.
Roy and Kathy Martin have personally committed $1 million to the LSU Interdisciplinary Science Building and $500,000 to LSU Health Shreveport's Center for Medical Education. They each earned two degrees from LSU's flagship campus. He holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and an MBA, and she holds a bachelor's degree in music education and an MBA. The couple lives in Alexandria, La., where RoyOMartin is headquartered.
Roy O. Martin III said, "The Martin and Kilpatrick families have been educated by the entire LSU System, from New Orleans to Shreveport and every campus in between. We have a deep appreciation for LSU as one of Louisiana's most important, impactful assets. We are also deeply appreciative of LSU's impact on our lives and, in turn, on the success of our business. That gratitude and our commitment to Louisiana's future catalyzed our decision to make a system-wide gift this year. We are proud to support the entire family of LSU campuses now and in the future."
The Interdisciplinary Science Building – LSU's top capital priority – will be the central home to a new campus district focused on scientific discovery. The $101 million project, a public-private partnership with the State of Louisiana, will create an epicenter for academics, research and industry collaboration and a hub for collaborating on nearly $35 million in annual research awards.
The LSU College of Science is the springboard for more than half of Louisiana's physicians and advances quality of life for every Louisianan through research that drives the economy and shapes healthcare, programs that improve children's access to stellar STEM education and preparation of Louisiana communities' future doctors and health professionals. The Interdisciplinary Science Building, scheduled to begin construction in fall 2022 with a project opening of fall 2024, will support five focus disciplines: biological sciences, chemistry, geology and geophysics, mathematics and physics and astronomy.
The Martins' gift in support of LSU Health Shreveport's Center for Medical Education will be directed to the Center of Excellence for Emerging Viral Threats. The CEVT, created in March 2020 in rapid response to the effects of COVID-19, quickly became a fundamental part of North Louisiana's pandemic mitigation efforts. It will be relocated to the top floor of the Center for Medical Education to address current space constraints, allowing the lab to become a Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) Lab – a critical advancement toward enhancing research capability to respond to future viral threats.
The Kathy and Roy O. Martin III CEVT Training Lab will be a specially equipped facility that will allow students to work alongside LSU Health Shreveport scientists to conduct the crucial research required to address current and future viral threats, serving as a surveillance lab for the entire state and region. The Martins' investment in this lab will be central to establishing the Shreveport-Bossier region as an attractive location for biotech investment long-term.
Construction of the building, a $74 million public-private partnership with the State of Louisiana, began in summer 2021 and is slated to conclude by 2023. The Center for Medical Education will also allow LSU Health Shreveport to expand its medical school class size, graduating an additional 50 MDs each year to address the physician shortage in North Louisiana and throughout the state. Ultimately, the teaching, healing and discovery that takes place in the building will improve the health of Louisianans, drive lasting economic growth, foster research innovation and reimagine the student experience.
In keeping with the Martin family's and RoyOMartin's commitment to Louisiana's future and the vitality of its economy, the company's recent generosity extends to support of a forestry management program led by LSU AgCenter Professor Richard Vlosky, director of the Louisiana Forest Products Development Center, in collaboration with another Louisiana higher education institution. On LSU's flagship campus, the Martins are engaged in the E. J. Ourso College of Business' and College of Engineering's efforts to meet industry needs for graduates in the fields of finance and engineering, respectively.
RoyOMartin is one of several wholly owned subsidiaries of Martin Sustainable Resources L.L.C., a privately held equity investment company. The name RoyOMartin honors the business pioneer and Martin family patriarch, Roy O. Martin Sr., who began the family's first business with a small sawmill in Alexandria, Louisiana, in 1923 and soon thereafter bought a few acres of timberland. Martin Sustainable Resources L.L.C. is owned by several generations of Roy Sr.'s descendants. Its holdings are broad but focus primarily on land, timber and mineral resources, with special emphasis on sustainable forests and forest-products manufacturing businesses. These holdings include the plywood and oriented strand board manufacturing facilities owned and operated in Louisiana by RoyOMartin and by RoyOMartin's wholly owned Texas subsidiary, Corrigan OSB, L.L.C. Martin Timberlands L.L.C. is one of the largest private landowners in the southern United States.
The Martins' and RoyOMartin's most recent investments in LSU are part of the university's $1.5 billion Fierce for the Future Campaign, the largest campaign for higher education in the history of Louisiana. Fierce for the Future unites LSU's campuses statewide in pursuit of a common goal: to generate solutions for the people in Louisiana that hold the promise of making profoundly positive impacts around the world.

Q: Solving $-7\leq\sqrt{x}\leq5$ by squaring on both sides $-7\leq\sqrt{x}\leq5$
On squaring both sides we get the correct answer as:
$0\leq{x}\leq25$.
Why not $25\leq{x}\leq49$?
Why lower limit is taken as zero?

A: Because: $$-7\leq\sqrt{x}\leq5 \iff 0\leq\sqrt{x}\leq5.$$

A: To clear your confusion, try to divide the inequality to two inequalities:
$$-a\leq\ x \leq b \iff -a\leq x \leq 0 \ \lor \ 0\leq x \leq a$$
then
$$-a\leq\ x \leq b \iff 0\leq-x \leq a \ \lor \ 0\leq x \leq a$$
after evaluate the two inequalities, make sure to merge the results.
In your case, there is, in addition to the two inequalities, a third inequality :
$$-7\leq\sqrt{x}\leq5 \iff -7\leq\color{#f00}{\sqrt{x}\leq0} \ \lor \ 0\leq\sqrt{x}\leq5 \  \land \ \color{#f00}{\sqrt{x}\geq0}$$
so, we omit $ \ -7\leq\sqrt{x}\leq0 \ $, and the results are:  $\ x\in [0,25] \ \land \ x\in [0,+\infty[ $

A: $-7 \le \sqrt{x} \le 5$
$\sqrt{x}$ refers to the principal square root and it cannot be negative. so the above expression is equal to
$0 \le \sqrt{x} \le 5$ which on squaring gives $0 \le x \le 25$
