Muhith doubts Rohingya repatriation, plans budget allocation for them
FE Report | March 07, 2018 00:00:00
Finance Minister AMA Muhith says Rohingya refugees are turning a liability for Bangladesh as he doubts their repatriation to Myanmar.
And that is why the finance minister now plans for making budget allocation for them in the country's next national budget.
"Firstly, they (Myanmar) will take back only a few. Besides, Rohingya people won't be interested to go there to be re-expelled. So, they become our liability," Mr Muhith told newsmen after a meeting with some British MPs of DFID Programme at his secretariat office.
He said some 300,000 Rohingyas who came in 1990 and some from the latest influx will be relocated to Bhasanchar Island in Hatiya under Noakhali district.
"The rest (of them) will be rehabilitated wherever empty places are available. We will try to absorb as many as we can," said the minister about the alternative in case the repatriation 'arrangements' made with the Myanmar government shouldn't see a complete success.
Mr Muhith said rehabilitation of Rohingya people involves a large amount of money for which international assistance is needed. "We can make houses for them in Bhasanchar. But we do not have enough money to give them food. We have dearth of money."
The minister said nearly 1.0 million Rohingya minority people of Rakhine state of Myanmar are now living in Bangladesh.
Replying to a query whether the Rohingya could turn into a permanent liability for Bangladesh if they were rehabilitated here, he said the only one solution is at some point of time 'Mog' people have to be eliminated from Rakhine.
"The Rakhine state is not of the Mog people. They conquered it during the 1850s. Before that the area belonged to Rakhine people," he said. Someday the Rakhine people will do so, he mentioned.
Asked whether Bangladesh is failing in diplomacy to send back the Rohingya, the minister answered in the negative. "No, we have no weakness in diplomacy, everyone is supporting us. But, Burmese are not trustworthy."
He said Myanmar is showing reluctance to take back the Rohingya people. "They want to take back only 10 to 15 people whereas one million Rohingya people are there. They are evil, a rogue government."
In a crescendo of criticism of the Myanmar authorities reported action of ethnic cleansing, an outspoken Muhith said: "These Mog people should leave Rakhine, Suu Kyi should leave Rakhine -- this is my personal view."
He said the DFID delegation assured of standing beside Bangladesh. "Of course (they are with us). They wanted to go to Burma -- they have been denied."
Replying to a query he said: "We are now cultivating international interest. We are not pushing back."
To another query he said China is not supporting Bangladesh on Rohingya issue. "India has made a statement and they have supported us. USA, and almost every country, has supported us minus China and Russia."
Asked whether the DFID delegation expressed interest to provide financial assistance to feed Rohingya people, Mr Muhtih said they had already made it.
The minister said some additional allocations have to be made in the next fiscal budget to feed Rohingya people.
The UNHCR gave some good amount of money for them, but it is noticed that recently international announcement of assistance in this regard has decreased.
Presently, the global assistance for Rohingya people is coming into the prime minister's relief fund, he said.

My #1 resolution for 2009 was to post a new 2009 calendar. Thank you to Airside for making it happen! Their sweet type-befriends-bird '09 calendar is a real beauty. I love how each month is displayed and presented. It includes 27 illustrations, and is printed on recycled paper made from 100% post-consumer waste using bio-vegetable-oil-based inks. Not too shabby.
Order it! Airside blog! Airside!


Concept:: The Dark Overlord (need a name) has taken over your hometown. He issues a challenge to the townsfolk "Defeat me in a game of your choosing, and I shall forever leave." Many try, many fail.
You play as an old wizard. You come out of retirement to challenge him in every senior citizens favorite sport, mini golf.
While you get to choose the game. he creates the course.
Play a round of mini golf while fighting off the Dark Overlord's minions and avoiding deadly traps. Spells can be cast upon the ball to instill it with abilities. The lower your par, the stronger your wizard!
Defeat the Dark Overlord and complete the course to win.
To be honest, I had no idea what I was going to do. For me the idea is always the hardest part. Originally I was going to do this alone. I bounced a few ideas off some friends, finally settling on this idea.
Got together some reference and started planning. My brother went and bought a new computer, so I will have a partner, doubling the size of my normal game jam team! Started putting together a prototype using Kenney Asset Characters. Final Art will be added later. but it's not looking half bad!!
I vote hair for uniqueness!
Sometimes you just gotta work with what ya have. I can feel that.
Haha what a nice idea!
Got the look nailed down. Just gotta animate the wizard. Chris is busy making more props and traps. After that it's just crunching code and sound. It's gonna be super close on getting it done!!
Getting the wizard moving around took a bit longer than anticipated but got that part working today!! Chris formed his own club!!
Here's a quick little video of me testing the game! The UI isn't in there yet, neither are the effects you can place on the ball, but it gives you an idea of how it works. I would love some feedback!!!
Without having tried this obviously, it seems just a touch too difficult to aim and the ball is a tad too bouncy. Otherwise, it looks good. The fire effect is really nice.
it is tough to aim both the ball AND his fireballs. I think I have a solution to both. I'm thinking of having it draw the classic white line to help show where the ball is going to go a little more. The fireball I'm gonna do a little aim assist. Cast a sphere in front of the player and if it hits an enemy, aim the spot where I'm spawning the fireball from at it. The bounciness is a little trickier. I MIGHT be able to solve it by playing with the physics settings. Otherwise, I'll have to rely on some good ole high school math. The angle of reflection equal to the angle of refraction, take in account the force of the ball, and go from there. I hope I don't have to do that cuz it's a little more work and I still got a lot of work left get everything I want done.
No worries, I feel ya. I was just giving the feedback from what I saw in the video. I think the solution for the ball and fireball will be really smart moves, and even if you can't do the bounciness, that'll make things feel a lot better from a player perspective I think.
Do they also say taunty things?
Woah, Goblins are one of my favorite fantasy races.
Well, they are a classic. Right now they are the only enemy I have working, but for a prototype it's all I need. If I have time, I'll add more. The AI system I designed reuses pretty much everything. All I have to do is feed it stats like speed, attack range, etc etc into it.
Cool, actually I was replying to the Goblins being jerks, just like people, there are many different types of Goblins.
We got ourselves a working hole. All the effects, AI, tracking score, and UI are complete. Just need to implement sound and start building more holes!!
Mini Golf just got BRUTAL!!!
Always good to have a backup plan. I want to add more content to one of my levels, just cause the game feels a little short, but rather make the gameplay feel more immersive, add some sounds and effects. Will see what I complete today.
I also have the grand idea of making another game in one day, with a really fun mechanic. Now to make a game made in 4 hours look like it was made in 30 days.

Q: Best way to store auth credentials on fabric deploys? I am trying to learn how to quickly spin up a digital ocean / ec2 server to temporarily run a python worker script (for parallel performance gains). I can conceptually grasp how to do everything except how / where to store certain auth credentials. These would be things like:
git username / pass to access private repos
AWS auth credentials to access an SQS queue
database credentials
etc.
Where do I store this stuff when I deploy via a fabric script? A link to a good tutorial would be very helpful.

A: We have a local credential YAML file that contains all these, fab read the credentials from it and use them during the deployment only.

Behind the scenes tours at The Cavern Club!
I went to the Cavern between the ages of 15 and 19, so that would be 1962-66. The first six months was when I was a student at Machin & Harpers Secretarial College just off the top of Bold Street.


At this week's Supercomputing 12 show, the biggest news have been the increasing competition in accelerators and co-processors. AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all unveiled new processors designed to improve the performance of parallel operations by including large numbers of specialized cores. As they have been doing for several generations now, Nvidia and AMD both introduced new versions of designs originally aimed at processors designed as graphics processing units (GPUs), while Intel uses multiple small x86 cores in its long-promised many integrated core (MIC) architecture.
At this week's Supercomputing 12 show, the biggest news has been the increasing competition in accelerators and co-processors. AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all unveiled new processors designed to improve the performance of parallel operations by including large numbers of specialized cores. As they have been doing for several generations now, Nvidia and AMD both introduced new versions of designs originally aimed at processors designed as graphics processing units (GPUs), while Intel uses multiple small x86 cores in its long-promised many integrated core (MIC) architecture.
Many of these announcements were expected, but we heard some of the new details.
Intel finally announced the formal shipment of its Xeon Phi processor, which it positioned as improving parts of software that can be parallelized—pretty much the same target as the Nvidia and AMD processors.
Intel announced two general versions, the Phi 5110P, which is available (in limited quantities) now, and the Xeon Phi 3100 series, which will launch in the first quarter of 2013. Both are manufactured on a 22nm process (and reportedly have around 5 billion transistors, though Intel did not confirm this or provide a die size) and are based on Intel's MIC or Many-Integrated Core architecture.
The 5110P has 60 cores, each with four threads, runs at 1.05GHz, has 30MB of L2 cache, and supports up to 8GB of GDDR5 memory with a peak memory bandwidth of 320GBps. That gives it peak double-precision floating point performance of 1.01 teraflops. Early customers, including Stampede at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at the University of Texas at Austin, are using a custom version of the 5110P, the SE10, which has 61 cores running at a slightly faster clock speed, with a bit more L2 cache.
Intel hasn't disclosed the number of cores or the speed of the 3100 Series, though it seems likely it will have fewer cores running at a higher clock speeds, as it is rated at 300 watts instead of the 225 watts of the 5110P (which is designed to be passively-cooled, while the 3100 will be available in passive and active cooling models).
For its part, Nvidia formally its announced the 28nm Kepler-based Tesla K20X and K20 processors, which were previously disclosed as part of the Titan supercomputer that now heads the TOP500 list. Both are based on the firm's 28nm Kepler architecture. The K20X, which is used in Titan, has 2,688 cores and runs at 732MHz, and is rated at 1.31 peak teraflops of double-precision floating point performance and 3.95 teraflops single precision. Nvidia says this is twice the double-precision and three times the single-precision performance of the previous generation. The K20 has 2,496 cores and runs at 706MHz, and is rated at 1.17 teraflops for double-precision and 3.52 teraflops for single-precision. In any case, this is a massive, 7 billion-transistor chip.
The company highlighted a number of applications where it can offer huge performance improvements compared with CPU-only calculations. It also emphasized partnerships with almost all of the makers of supercomputing equipment.
AMD announced its FirePro S10000 GPU accelerator, which uses two GPUs, each from the firm's 28nm Tahiti (Southern Islands) design. AMD had earlier announced the S9000, based on a single GPU. The S10000 has 3,594 total cores (1,792 per chip), running at 825MHz, with a total peak rating of 1.48 teraflops at double-precision and 5.91 teraflops at single-precision. (ExtremeTech has details here.) The single chip S9000 has 1,792 cores, but runs slightly faster at 900MHz.
The FirePro S10000 has theoretically better scores than the Nvidia K20X, though it has two GPUs instead of one and it also requires more power—375 watts TDP vs. 235 watts for the Nvidia product. Note also that although all of the companies cite performance on the LINPACK benchmark, real-world performance can vary dramatically depending on the application you're running and how the software was developed.
AMD also pushed its "Graphics Core Next" (GCN) architecture, which enables the S10000's two GPUs to carry out compute and graphics/visualization tasks at the same with a single board, so this seems to be promoted more as workstation solution (where Nvidia also offers its Quadro workstation board). AMD has had more success in the workstation market than in the HPC accelerator market.
Indeed, the next big battle in this space seems to be between x86 coprocessors and GPU accelerators. Intel tries to distinguish the two by noting that the Xeon Phi can run operating systems, but accelerators can't. That's true today—the Xeon Phi can run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x or SuSE Linux 12+—but I'm not sure how relevant it is, as both run in systems that use other main processors, and often the point is to distribute the application, not the OS.
The more important differences are likely to be how well they perform, how much performance per watt they can generate, and how easy it is to get that performance. That's because in the real world, software often needs to be written to take advantage of massively parallel processing.
Intel often talks about how because the Xeon Phi uses x86 cores, it can run all of the same languages, libraries, and tools that programmers are used to today. Intel does have a widely-used parallel programming library, often used for multi-core Core and traditional Xeon chips.
Nvidia stresses its CUDA language extensions that work with C/C++ or Fortran, as well as its support for the OpenACC tools for directing compilers to produce parallel code, and says many universities find it easy to teach CUDA as many students have laptops with CUDA-compatible graphics cards. (Xeon Phi is very rare at the moment, though x86 cores are nearly universal.) AMD mostly relies on OpenCL.
Over the next few years, it looks like we will see more experimenting with both co-processors and accelerators, and such heterogeneous systems will likely come to dominate the high-performance computing world.
Other interesting things at the show include lots of discussion of interconnects, like Mellanox's expanding line of 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand products. Micron pushed its Hybrid Memory Cube, which uses large amounts of server memory stacked together enlisting a technology called through-silicon vias, or TSVs, to provide dense, high-speed memory. The first commercial products are slated for 2014, with 4Gb and 8Gb cubes with 160GBps of throughput, about 10x what you get out of an entire standard DDR3 memory module today.

8 Surprising Health Benefits of Sex
Find out how getting intimate can improve your well-being
Of course sex is healthy, but did you know that a good sex life can provide specific health benefits? We spoke to the experts to find out just how sex improves our health (not that you needed any convincing).
1. It May Make You Thinner
Dread working out? Don't break up with your treadmill just yet. But if it's late and you haven't made it to the gym, don't forget that sex counts as exercise, too! "Sex burns between 75 and 150 calories per half-hour," says Desmond Ebanks, MD, founder and medical director of Alternity Healthcare in West Hartford, Connecticut. It's comparable to other physical activities, he says, like yoga (114 calories per half-hour), dancing (129 calories per half-hour) or walking (153 calories per half-hour).
Bonus: Sex may also help your muscles stay lean in the process. "Sexual arousal and orgasm releases the hormone testosterone, which, among other things, is necessary to build and maintain bone and lean muscle tissue," he adds.
2. It May Improve Your Heart Health
You're probably already aware that heart disease is the number-one killer of women. Eating a healthy diet, and keeping your cholesterol low and sodium in check are great ways to stay on top of heart health, but so is having sex. "Sex is exercise that raises heart rate and blood flow," says Dr. Ebanks. "In a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, researchers found that having sex twice or more a week reduced the risk of fatal heart attack by half." While the study results were focused on men, Dr. Ebanks suspects similar effects for women, too.
3. It Can Help You Get a Better Night's Sleep
What do you do to help you sleep? When chamomile tea and other remedies aren't doing the job, sex may help—especially if you're having trouble sleeping due to anxiety or stress. "People having frequent sex often report that they handle stress better," notes Dr. Ebanks. "The profound relaxation that typically follows orgasm for women and ejaculation or orgasm for men may be one of the few times people actually allow themselves to completely relax. Many indicate that they sleep more deeply and restfully after satisfying lovemaking."
4. It Can Boost Your Immune System
With all the concerns about cold and flu viruses, combating germs can sometimes feel like a full-time job. Surprisingly, there may be something you can do in the bedroom to keep your immune system strong, says Dr. Ebanks, who points to a study by researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania. "Individuals who have sex once or twice a week show 30 percent higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A, which is known to boost the immune system," he says. So, make this your new cold-and-flu season mantra: Wash your hands and make a bedroom date with your sweetie—often!
5. It Can Improve Your Mental Health
The quickest way to boost your mood, fight depression and beat anxiety? Patricia Tan, MD, a board-certified internist in Arizona and medical expert for JustAnswer.com, says the answer is simple: sex (in a loving, committed relationship, of course). "Psychologically, sex improves one's mental health by building intimacy and reducing stress," she says. "The stress reduction component lowers a person's cortisol level, thereby reducing the chances of increased blood pressure, hyperglycemia and increased acidity in the abdomen."
6. It Can Help Relieve Pain
You might change "Not tonight, honey, I have a headache" to "Yes, tonight, honey, I have a headache," or so says Dr. Ebanks, who believes there's a real correlation between sex and pain management. "Through sexual arousal and orgasm the hormone oxytocin is secreted in your body, which in turn causes the release of endorphins," he explains. "Because of these natural opiates, sex acts as a powerful analgesic."
7. It Can Help You with Bladder Control
It may sound weird—the idea that sex can help you minimize incontinence—but it's true, say experts. Sex therapists have long recommended that women do Kegel exercises (flexing the muscles in your pelvic floor) throughout the day, but also during sex. Why? Not only can the exercises help increase pleasure, they also strengthen the muscles associated with incontinence. You can do Kegels anywhere (including during intercourse), so don't be shy! Gently flex and tighten your pelvic floor muscles in the same way you would to stop the flow of urine. Hold for three seconds, then release.
8. It May Give You Healthier Skin
Could sex make you more beautiful? It sounds far-fetched, but Eric Braverman, MD, founder of PATH Medical Center in New York City, says having sex releases a key compound in the body that is good for all kinds of things—including improving your complexion. During sex, your body produces a hormone called DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). "It can boost the immune system, give you healthier skin and even decrease depression," he says. So much for the $79 night cream!

Lewis Hamilton tells Mercedes he will continue racing in Formula 1 – report
Lewis Hamilton has no plans to retire and will again seek a record-breaking eighth Drivers' title in 2022, according to a report.
The seven-time champion relinquished his crown to Max Verstappen in agonising and controversial circumstances at this year's final grand prix in Abu Dhabi.
Apart from the obligatory parc ferme interview immediately afterwards, Hamilton has remained tight-lipped about the dramatic events in those last few laps at Yas Marina, initially while his Mercedes team launched unsuccessful protests about the result.
Four days later, the Constructors' World Champions broke their collective silence by announcing they would not go ahead with any further appeal, while team principal Toto Wolff said he "very much hopes" Hamilton continues racing without giving any guarantees.
That led to speculation the 36-year-old Briton may be thinking of walking away from F1, coupled with his comment in that solitary post-race interview when he said: "We'll see about next year."
However, Franco Nugnes, a respected journalist for the Italian edition of Motorsport.com, has reported that "Hamilton will not shirk the two-year contract that is in force and will, therefore, be alongside George Russell" next year.
Although Wolff admitted his long-serving driver had been "disillusioned" with the events of Abu Dhabi, where Mercedes felt they had been dealt an injustice, it would be a surprise if Hamilton chose to end his incredibly successful career amid such disappointment.
The Austrian added: "We will be working through the events of the next weeks and months and as a racer, his heart will say 'I need to continue' because he is at the peak of his game.
"But we have to overcome the pain that was caused upon him [in Abu Dhabi] because he is also a man with clear values and it's difficult to understand that happened.
"If we break that fundamental principle of sporting fairness and authenticity of the sport, then suddenly the stopwatch doesn't become relevant anymore because we are exposed to random decision-making and it's clear you fall out of love with it.
"It will take a long time for us to digest what happened. I don't think we will ever get over it. That's not possible, and certainly not for him as a driver.
"I very much hope the two of us, and the rest of the team, work through the events and we can, with the FIA and F1, utilise the situation to improve the sport going forward.
"But he will never overcome the pain and the distress that was caused."
Hamilton has been absent from all media, including social, since Abu Dhabi, apart from being photographed receiving his knighthood from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle and appearing in an end-of-season video at the Mercedes factory that served as a farewell to his departing team-mate, Valtteri Bottas.
However, with Christmas upon us, it would be a major surprise if he did not post a festive message to his fans – one that may well explain his reticence over the last 12 days.

HomeChildrenChild's disability
Baghti & Baghti 2012. FamCA 711
A couple had a son aged 9 years at the time of judgement. The couple had lived separately under the same roof for a period. The father ceased being the earner for the household following a car accident and became the primary carer for the son, and the mother became the earner. The father then moved to live with his extended family where 7 adults lived in a 6 bedroom house.
The son had special needs of asthma, absence seizures and was over-weight being in the 95th percentile for his age. The son saw two medical specialists for his conditions.
The father alleged that the mother neglected the son's weight saying that his excess weight was due to the diet given by the mother who provided junk food, and was related to her own eating habits and eating disorder. The father took the son to medical appointments. The father wanted to impose dietary requirements on the mother as a condition for her access (conditional access). The father monitored the boy's weight by arranging for a dietician to weigh the boy before and after visits to the mother, without the mother's knowledge. The father alleged that the mother regurgitated food and the son was aware of this allegation.
Both mother and father alleged the other had made threats to them in front of the child, and thwarted their time with the child (mutual accusations).
The father engaged private detectives to monitor events while the son was in the care of the mother (personality suspicious).
Assessors found the level of high conflict and hostility between the parents was extreme and this posed difficulties for the child.
An assessor considered it as unlikely that the child was exposed to abnormal eating behaviour by the mother as the mother had participated in a gastric banding operation.
An assessor found that the father took an excessive interest in the son's health and welfare showing an obsessive preoccupation through his monitoring of eating and weight (health preoccupation). The father took the boy's temperature up to 10 times daily. The assessor considered that this was an excessive interest and posed long term risks of psychological harm for the boy.
The boy was found to love both parents and there was attachment to both parents. The father's over-solicitous approach contributed to the child having an anxious attachment disorder.
The father was assessed as having an obsessive personality structure with paranoia, contributing to his being controlling (personality ultra-critical). The father constantly sought to validate his own strong belief of the world through detailed scrutiny, including by seeking information to show that his ex-wife was not a good mother. The excessive scrutiny could be viewed as harassment.
The arrangement where the father lived with his extended family allowed the family to be highly enmeshed and to intrude into each other's psychological space. Members of the extended family were considered to show an excessive investment in the welfare of the father as compared to the child.
The judge found a need to protect the boy from the family and paternal extended family being hypervigilant about weight and health issues (parenting style authoritarian, capacity to protect).
The judge considered it necessary to shield the boy from the hostility between the parents.
The judge found that neither parent had facilitated a close and continuing meaningful relationship with the other parent, as neither parent had a high regard for the other parent (credit low). The judge considered that the mother was unlikely to undermine the child's relationship with the father, whereas the father did undermine the child's relationship with the mother (parenting style undermining).
The judge ordered:
that the mother have sole parental responsibility
the father have access to his son
the mother inform the father about proposals for major decisions, inviting agreement and allowing the father an opportunity to propose an alternative with reasons being given. If the parties failed to agree then the judge ordered that matters be referred to mediation.
both parties refrain from conducting surveillance to monitor by personal observation, photographs, or by audio or video recordings (restrained from monitoring).

Q: Reverse Ajax without Comet? Is it possible to let the web server send a message to the web browser without Comet?
Every major web company like Facebook and Google uses Comet for this purpose and it just seems like an ugly hack waiting to disappear if tcp connections were enabled for major browsers.

A:
Is it possible to let the web server
  send a message to the web browser
  without Comet?

Yes, its possible via Silverlight, Flex, Flash and Java Applets.

Every major web company like Facebook
  and Google uses Comet for this purpose
  and it just seems like an ugly hack
  waiting to disappear if tcp
  connections were enabled for major
  browsers.

TCP connections a la HTML 5 Web Sockets won't solve the problem.  You see a lot of people use Google and Facebook from their workplace, university or school and firewalls often block non-standard ports, and non-HTTP traffic.  So a solution which sends messages to a web browser has to work over HTTP and often look like HTTP.  That's why Google and Facebook use Comet and will continue to do so otherwise they won't be able to reach a large percentage of their users.  In fact, some firewalls and reverse proxies will close long-running HTTP connections and so an Ajax polling connection is often used as a fallback.  I can suggest something like StreamHub Reverse Ajax if you are looking for a server that is capable of sending messages to the browser via Reverse Ajax.

A: Why do you think Facebook and Google would do it if there were another way?
Well, OK, there are other ways. You could embed a Java applet in the page. If the Java applet is signed, and the user gives it permission, it could open up a long-running connection for the server to send it events. But that would get you something that was more fragile, required more user interaction, was slower to start up, and would work on fewer platforms than Comet.
There has been some discussion of adding server-sent events and web sockets to HTML5, but that's extremely preliminary and probably won't make it into the standard.

A: As "Comet" is an artificial term for anything which uses the existing http protocol to simulate a push of data I fear there is nothing you can do.
The only solution would be an "enhancement" of the current protocol or some widely used probably plugin based solution ... you can use java for that. But this will rise other problems because basically you need to have incoming connection on that browser available.

A: Comet can be implemented as just a long-polling ajax call, so it gets to be a matter of semantics.
Here, for example, is a jquery plugin that implements Comet using the Bayeux protocol atop jQuery's ajax call.

Week long online performance and text documentation. An internet adaptation of Magritte, Bas Jan Ader, Yves Klein, Tehching Hsieh.
A daily attempt to bring together a group of avatars on the virtual world of Second Life in jumping off the reconstruction of the Eiffel Tower, the longest drop in Second Life which results in the fragmentation and collapse of Second Life's three dimensional rendering on the way down.
All interactions with other avatars were recorded. The nature of memes and group activities online, and how best to orchestrate a virtual crowd was discussed, as well as the uncanny binding of the physical self in relation to an online avatar.

There are two Feasts in September to prepare us for the Feast of Tabernacles (return of Christ/God). One is the Feast of Trumpets on September 18th (sunset of the 17th to sunset of the 18th). The other is the Day of Atonement on September 27th (sunset of September 26th to sunset of September 27th).
"8 - On the first day of the seventh month there will be a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation, with no servile work."
"9 - On the tenth day (evening of the ninth to the evening of the tenth) of the seventh month is the day of atonement, a holy convocation, with no work (not at all). Celebrate this Sabbath by atonement to the Lord."
"The trumpet is an instrument with a tremendous sound, and if blown strongly, it can awaken people. So it is a symbol of truth which comes by these seven Angels, which are the same as the Angels of the churches (Prophets of the seven religions)."

Pollino RaftingPollino National Park
The wider italian National Park
The Pollino National Park is the largest protected area, newly established (1993), on the national territory. It covers 192,565 hectars and embraces two regions: Calabria and Basilicata, involving 32 Calabrian municipalities and 24 Lucanian municipalities for a total resident population of 170 thousand inhabitants. The symbol of the Park is represented by the Loricato Pine (Pinus leucodermis), a glacial relict which has its place of origin in the Balkans and which is perched in imposing and twisted forms on the rocky ridges especially at high altitudes.
The wide territory ranges from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Ionian Sea and is the guardian of its riches such as the Loricato Pine, the golden eagle and the roe deer. The Park consists of three different mountain systems with a calcareous morphology typical of the Mediterranean mountains. In the centre is the "Massiccio del Pollino" with peaks of about 2300 metres. At about 2000 meters we find the "Grande Porta" that leads to the "Piani del Pollino" (Pollino Plains) on whose ridges stand majestic examples of loricate pine trees that dominate an area rich in watercourses that flow towards the sea through gorges between high and narrow rock walls. The "Massiccio del Pollino" is separated from the "Monti dell'Orsomarso" (south-west) by the "Piano di Campotenese". The Mountains are characterized by thick vegetation and introduce the beautiful valleys carved by watercourses such as the Argentino river, the Lao river, etc.. In the northern part of the Park we find the "Monte Alpi "(1900 meters) which differs from the "Orsomarso Mountains" and the "Massiccio del Pollino" for its different geological origin. The territory of the Park is characterized by river systems of great value both for the richness of the rivers and springs and for the quality of the ecosystems. The most important river basin on the Lucanian side is surely represented by the Sinni river, while on the Calabrian side it is the Lao river, which originates in Basilicata and takes the name Mercure, but immediately after its confluence with the Battendiero river it changes its name to Lao. The latter for its great naturalistic value can be considered one of the healthiest rivers in southern Italy.
From the point of view of fauna, the area of the Pollino National Park is one of the most important in Italy for the great wealth of species and zoological peculiarities dictated, in addition to the variety of environments, the geographical position. There are rich species belonging to insects, crustaceans and amphibians, among which we can mention the Italian crested newt and the Spectacled salamander (amphibians), the crayfish (crustaceans), Rosalia alpina and Buprestis splendens (insects).
No less important is the birdlife present. Among the many species we find the Partridge and the Black Woodpecker. Twelve species of diurnal birds of prey are present, including the Golden Eagle, the Peregrine Falcon, the Cape Cowpecker, etc.. Among the mammals we find families of Wolf and Otter whose presence has been detected along the waterways where there is an abundance of prey and a good degree of plant cover.
The vegetation is distinguished by the great richness of the species present that testify the variety and vastness of the territory and the different climatic conditions that influence it; some local species and the presence of rare plant associations, make the area of the Pollino Park unique in the whole Mediterranean. In the facsia up to 700-800 m prevails the Mediterranean maquis with the presence of holm oak (Quercus ilex), mastic (Pistacia lentiscus), juniper (Juniperus communis, Juniperus oxycedrus, Juniperus phoenicea), myrtle (Myrtus communis), strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), downy oak (Quercus pubescens), maple (Acer monspessulanum) and common broom (Spartium junceum). Over 800 m up to 1100 m dominating the different varieties of oaks, downy oak (Quercus pubescens), turkey oak (Quercus cerris), oak (Quercus frainetto) often living together or in mixed forests with oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis), maple (Acer obtusatum), chestnut (Castanea sativa), Neapolitan alder (Alnus cordata). In the mountain range, up to almost 2000 m, beech (Fagus sylvatica) prevails, pure or in mixed formations with chestnut, Turkey oak and maple. At lower altitudes, beech is accompanied by holly (Ilex aquifolium) and Hungarian maple; at higher altitudes and in a gorge environment, it is accompanied by Lobel maple and, mainly on the northern side of the Park, beech gives rise to the particular association with silver fir (Abies alba), a conifer present in a discontinuous way in the Apennines. Up to 1700 m there are open formations of black pine (Pinus nigra). What distinguishes and makes the mountain vegetation of Pollino unique is certainly the Loricato Pine (Pinus leucodermis), symbol of the Park. Arrived in the Calabrian-Lucanian area in ancient times, it is present in the high mountain range, up to 2200 m, on the peaks of Pollino and goes down exceptionally up to 550 m on the south-western side of the Park. The bark of this conifer is pale grey, especially in the young plants, hence the name "leucodermis"; in the adult specimens the bark is fissured in irregular plates, so-called "loriche", which recall the ancient Roman armour. In the Park there are 4 Oriented Nature Reserves already existing before the establishment of the Park (Lao River Valley, Raganello Gorge, Argentino River Valley, Rubbio) and 41 Sites of Community Importance (SCI), areas belonging to the European Natura 2000 network for the protection of habitats and species pi6ugrave; at risk in Europe. There are also 5 Special Protection Areas (SPAs) for the protection of birds. The isolated peaks are contrasted by the solitary and small villages that make up the anthropic landscape.
The territory is characterized by the presence of nuclei with culture, language and traditions arb?reshe (italo Albanian) then visit the Pollino Park becomes an opportunity to learn about different aspects including nature that for some aspects can be considered wild, different cultures and uses, discover a protected area aimed at enhancing its resources offering visitors countless opportunities to enjoy a wonderful holiday.

Sidney, Philip, Sir. The Defense of Poesy: Otherwise Known as an Apology for Poetry. Edited by Albert S. Cook. Folcroft, Pa.: Folcroft Library Editions, 1973.
COOPER'S HILL John Denham (1642) Most students enrolled in college English literature courses are introduced to Cooper's Hill by John Denham as an important descriptive poem that influenced 18th-century poets, particularly John Dryden, through its topographical emphasis. While Denham did focus on nature and the countryside around Windsor Castle, he used his view of geography to muse on the nature of royalty, employing his talent, as did other poets of his day, in hopes of influencing King Charles I to redeem his reign while it was still possible to prevent a Protes tant revolution. Thus Denham adopts topoi, or traditional themes and literary convention, of space to reflect his Royalist leanings while remaining somewhat critical of his ruler.
Joseph Addison in his The Annual Miscellany: For the Year 1694 (London: Jacob Tonson) praised Denham, writing, "nor Denham must we e're forget thy Strains / While Cooper's Hill commands the Neighb'ring Plains." Alexander Pope, whose "Windsor Forest" (1713) reflected Denham's influence, and Samuel Johnson also praised Cooper's Hill. They found it powerful and balanced in format, that balance resulting from Den-ham's rhetorical use of pairs of ideas in phrases. An example appears in lines 4 and 5, which read, "Those made not poets, but the poets those. / And as courts make not kings, but kings the court." However, later critics such as James Grantham Turner argued that such use of balance proved standard in the traditional Royalist viewpoint. He finds that rhetorical method in Royalist tracts and even in the king's writing.
Later critics also considered the poem's political content more important than had Denham's contemporaries, although the poet himself must have noticed it, because he revised much of its political content when he rereleased Cooper's Hill in 1655. Criticism evaluating its polemical content grew strong in the 20th century. One of the first essays to consider the lengthy poem closely was by the noted literary critic Earl Wasserman in 1959. Wasserman, executing a new criticism approach, found the poem political but also successful in balancing the tension that arose through the use of irony. He evaluated the work as a prime example of concordia discors, or balanced discourse. Other critics, including Bruce Boeckel, disagree, evaluating the poem as a failure in regard to achieving concord, seeing it instead as "highly partisan" in its successful attempt to construct a landscape in which Denham's political enemies are silenced. Boeckel achieves meaning through the application of new historicism, in which he considers the political unrest that led up to the isolation of Charles I at Oxford, where Denham lived, and eventually to his execution. That type of reading has gained strength with the popularity of a revised view of Stuart England, which began with the reign of Charles's father, James I. That view holds that the Civil War did not begin with Puritan revolution, as traditionally taught, but rather at the time that Charles took the throne. The opinion claims that a broad agreement regarding the proper manner of worship existed in England in the 1630s, but that religious leaders rejected that agreement in an attempt to impose their own more limited ideas on the populace. That meant that even though many English citizens accepted the Book of Common Prayer and the rites of the Church of England, a few power-hungry religious leaders, such as William Laud, archbishop of Canterbury, shattered that acceptance by forcing instead their own extreme Anglican view. The fact that such new views of history have spurred a reconsideration of the meaning of literature emphasizes the importance of political and social culture during the era in which poetry is written. No artist creates in a vacuum; most are strongly affected by what takes place around them. The effect of the unrest and political and religious divisions on John Denham as he wrote Cooper Hill should not be ignored in its reading.
The 358-line poem is composed of rhyming couplets, another factor in its format that supports the praise of its balanced presentation. It begins with a call to classical tradition as Denham mentions Parnassus and the Helicon. As are most of his additional classical allusions, this one is common. However, Denham includes paradox in his statements that note that poets who did not live during classical times can still produce poetry. Thus, it was not the geographical locations of Parnassus or Helicon that made the poets, but rather the poets created or made famous the geographical locations: "Those made not poets, but the poets those." As Boeckel notes, Denham's statement that the "poetic topos—a Parnassus or a Cooper's Hill—is essentially the creation of the poet, yet it functions as the poet's inspiration," remains comparable to "a serpent swallowing its tail."
The references to geography or topography prove crucial to the entire poem, which describes the English countryside but actually does something in addition. That "something" Denham suggests in his next line, which plays upon his previous comment that poets make the place. He contradicts his own remark regarding the poets' power by firmly stating the court, meaning those who serve the king, lack that power in respect to the monarch. He writes in line 5, "And as courts make not kings, but kings the court," then continues
So where the Muses and their train resort, Parnassus stands; if I can be to thee A poet, thou Parnassus art to me.
Denham at once seems to equate the power of poetry with that of royalty but then makes clear that King Charles I acts as his inspiration. This proves a crucial political point, for if the politic body of the king inspires Denham's poetry, it must be written in order to support that inspiration. The speaker underscores the power given him by his monarch, stating that his "flight," meaning flights of fancy or imagination, takes "wing from thy auspicious height." This leads Denham into FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE (FIGURE OF SPEECH) with the use of the extended metaphor of flight, allowing the speaker to hover above the country and its people, reporting what he observes. Thus, the speaker's eye swift as thought contracts the space That lies between, and first salutes the place Crown'd with that sacred pile, so vast, so high, That whether 'tis a part of Earth, or sky, uncertain seems.
This allows Denham to note that sense may be superior to intellect, a proposal that readers must accept in order to accompany him on this flight. With the term uncertain, Denham may offer an excuse for whatever claims he intends to make, thus allowing himself escape from censure of those he will offend.
The speaker's initial vantage point is that of London's St. Paul's Cathedral, which he praises as having survived "sword, or time, or fire," secure in the praise of many poets and "Preserv'd from ruin by the best of kings." From the top of St. Paul's the speaker sees the city as if in "a mist" where the "state and wealth the business and the crowd, / Seems at this distance but a darker cloud." He then notes that "luxury, and wealth, like war and peace, / Are each the others ruin, and increase," offering another paradox in that luxury increases wealth as it simultaneously ruins it. His view of London's populace is not flattering, as he compares the people in his original version to "Ants" who toil to "prevent imaginarie wants." The speaker continues to praise the building itself, which invites
A pleasure, and a reverence from the sight.
Thy mighty master's emblem, in whose face
Sat meekness, heighten'd with majestic grace, suggesting the prophet Paul as the master.
Denham combines themes of politics and religion in this section, reflecting upon the state of England itself. As Boeckel discusses, a fundraising campaign to repair and preserve St. Paul's had begun in 1631, and it had not progressed well. As part of Charles I's plan to restore a decent mode of worship, he had undertaken to repair English churches, and St. Paul's should have served as a major happy symbol of that effort. However, the people soon recognized the king's plan as his demand that all accept a rigid conformity in worship, as he verbally attacked those who wished to preserve icons and the sacrament in their rituals. Most importantly, Charles eventually ordered all justices of the peace to collect pledges and donations from their counties. This resulted in not only a taxation of citizens, but also a clear message that the king intended to impose the unity the people refused to give him, quashing local powers of government. Finally, he supported the dean of St. Paul's in what became known as the St. Gregory's case. When the dean decided to relocate the communion table to the east part of the chancel and confine it behind a rail, he ordered that the same be done in St. Gregory's, a church at St. Paul's border, a move that invoked complaints from those who used the church. When the court in control of such issues stood ready to counteract the dean's command, Charles I ordered the case be heard before the Privy Council, his own court, which ruled local churches must follow the guidance of St. Paul's. In addition, as Denham wrote of St. Paul's, suggesting its spire as the highest point in London, he reflects upon another tall landmark, the Tower of London, where William Laud had been imprisoned in March 1641.
Denham's next topography of consideration is that of Windsor. He makes a smooth transition by writing of St. Paul's that the heavenly race
Do homage to her, yet she cannot boast Amongst that numerous, and celestial host, More heroes than can Windsor, nor doth Fame's
Immortal book record more noble names.
He mentions "Caesar, Albanact, or Brute, / The British Arthur, or the Danish Knute," comparing Windsor's claim of those individuals to the famous seven cities' claims as the birthplace of Homer. He continues writing of Windsor,
But whosoere it was, Nature design'd First a brave place, and then as brave a mind. Not to recount those several kings, to whom It gave a cradle, or to whom a tomb, But thee (great Edward) and thy greater son, The lilies which his father wore, he won.
While Denham begins with praise for Windsor, he moves into an indictment of Henry VIII, which later critics saw as a direct attack on the English Reformation. The speaker transfers his consideration specifically to Chertsey Abbey, referring to a hill whose top of late
A chapel crown'd, till in the common fate, The adjoining Abbey fell: (may no such storm Fall on our times, where ruin must reform).
Denham extends the abbey's ruin into a metaphor for the impending ruin of England, which must be set right by the king. For Henry he expresses disgust, writing,
Tell me (my Muse) what monstrous dire offence,
What crime could any Christian king incense To such a rage? Was't luxury, or lust? Was he so temperate, so chast, so just? Were these their crimes? They were his own much more: But wealth is crime enough to him that's poor.
As Denham berates Henry, by extension he praises his own monarch as a different type of ruler. However, some critics view Denham's approach as warning Charles I against royal despotism. He views Henry as a monster who spent all of the funds in the treasury for his own delights, who used "devotion's name" as a way to "varnish o'er the shame / of sacrilege."
While many Protestants may have also felt that Henry's action in breaking from the Catholic Church in order to annul his marriage to Queen Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn had been wrong, they felt the break a needed one. Denham lambastes present reformist Protestants, his personal political enemies, writing of their lethargy, which causes "Religion in a lazy cell, / In empty, airy contemplations dwell." As far as the speaker is concerned, the English people have been made to "wish for ignorance" of the terrible knowledge that the Anglican Church inflicts. They would "rather in the dark . . . grope our way, / Than [be] led by a false guide to err by day." He adds that Henry's change so affected England outsiders might wonder "What barbarous Invader sack'd the land?" This section is one to which critics point who argue against the theory that Denham presents a poem of concord and unity. His argument is definitely balanced in favor of the Royalists and against Protestant reformists as well as Catholicism, in favor of the Caroline Church of England's Episcopal and sacramentalist beliefs.
Denham next moves as part of his topographical consideration to the Thames River, considered the life-blood of London and even of England:
My eye descending from the hill, surveys
Where Thames amongst the wanton valleys strays.
Thames, the most lov'd of all the ocean's sons,
By his old sire to his embraces runs.
He next compares a river to the oceans it feeds, with their foam equated to "amber, and their gravel gold." By contrast, a river is more "genuine" and offers less guilty wealth t'explore,
Search not his bottom, but survey his shore;
o'er which he kindly spreads his spacious wing, And hatches plenty for th'ensuing Spring.
In those and lines that follow, Denham clearly notes the importance of the river to England's international trade. What he does not make clear is the political contention that such trade had sparked, as both England's navy and its maritime trade opposed the king's policies, including the rule of "tonnage and poundage," which applied customs duties to imported goods. As Boeckel thoroughly discusses, while Charles had legitimate right to regulate commerce, many citizens viewed his customs duties as an illegal tax. They grew out of the king's inability to work with the Parliaments of 1625 and 1626 and caused uproar in the third Parliament of 1629, emphasizing Charles's inability to compromise with elected officials. He followed with an additional tax, "ship money," based on an old regulation, whereby he taxed outside Parliament all of England to support his navy and foreign policy, giving him complete control. Another example of the king's exercise of royal absolutism, the tax on shipping commerce greatly increased his unpopularity. This knowledge does not detract from the lovely sense of Denham's description in his praise of the Thames as
Though deep, yet clear, though gentle, yet not dull,
Strong without rage, without o'er-flowing full. Heaven her Eridanus no more shall boast, Whose fame in thine, like lesser currents lost, Thy nobler streams shall visit Jove's abodes.
But even in the first two lines of this passage, the reader might see a warning to the king to express his strength without anger, not to indulge in greed. As for most of the other Carolinian poets' warnings, this one would not be heeded by Charles. When the speaker touts the wealth taken to England through its foreign trade, however, Denham's contemporaries would be quick to note and counter that claim.
Denham's description continues, as he focuses on nature, first noting a paradox: "Wisely she knew, the harmony of things, / As well as that of sounds, from discords springs." He includes lines supporting an argument of balance for the poem, such as
While the steep horrid roughness of the wood Strives with the gentle calmness of the flood. Such huge extremes when nature doth unite, Wonder from thence results, from thence delight.
Those wonders include a stream "transparent, pure, and clear." The speaker then turns to focus on a variety of mystical beings that arise from, and celebrate, the water, including "fairies, satyrs, and the nymphs their dames, / Their feasts, their revels, and their amorous flames."
Denham then transitions into a consideration of the realistic creatures that dwell in the nearby woods and fields and describes a famous hunt scene, also considered strongly polemic:
The stag now conscious of his fatal growth, At once indulgent to his fear and sloth, To some dark covert his retreat had made, Where no man's eye, nor heaven's should invade His soft repose.
However, the stag will be aroused by the sounds of dogs and hunters and employ "his strength, and then his speed, / His winged heels, and then his armed head" to escape, only to be traced through the scent of his hooves. When he seeks shelter in a herd, it "chases him from thence, or from him flies," so that
Like a declining statesman, left forlorn To his friends' pity, and pursuers' scorn, With shame remembers, while himself was one Of the same herd, himself the same had done.
In a metaphoric hunt for liberty, Denham seems to reverse the land's guarantee of protection for all, based on the Magna Carta, creating an England where no mutual security exists and one portion of the population is desperate for protection. The shooting begins, and none of the stag's past triumphs can save the "Prince of the soil." As he turns to the water for solace, "fearless they pursue, nor can the flood / Quench their dire thirst; alas, they thirst for blood." The stag at least has the honor of dying by the king's "mortal shaft," and remaining "Proud of the wound," he resigns his blood. Denham then uses color imagery to suggest a curious reversal of victims when the speaker notes that the stag "stains the crystal with a purple flood." Because purple long symbolized royalty, he equates the king with the stag, again perhaps as a signal to Charles.The political rhetoric strengthens as the speaker notes that the happier style of king and subject bear; Happy, when both to the same center move, When kings give liberty, and subjects love, as he continues to reflect on the importance of the Magna Carta, writing, "Therefore not long in force this charter stood; / Wanting that seal, it must be seal'd in blood." He emphasizes through italicized print, "Who gives constrain'd, but his own fear reviles / Not thank'd, but scorn'd; nor are they gifts, but spoils." After that balanced thought, Denham offers advice: "Thus kings, by grasping more than they could hold, / First made their subjects by oppression bold." Again, he cautions against royal tyranny, but he insists that subjects share the blame, continuing,
And popular sway, by forcing kings to give More than was fit for subjects to receive, Ran to the same extremes; and one excess Made both, by striving to be greater less.
He concludes by comparing political forces to the natural forces that cause a river to overrun its banks, noting that if "husbandmen" have wisely "with high-rais'd banks" secured "Their greedy hopes," the king can endure the rising. However, if "bays" and "dams" are employed in an attempt "to force
His channel to a new, or narrow course; No longer then within his banks he dwells, First to a torrent, then a deluge swells: Stronger, and fiercer by restraint he roars, And knows no bound, but makes his power his shores.
Denham cautions power-hungry individuals not to force the king, as the monarch will react by extending his powers until boundaries remain unrecognizable.
As Boeckel notes, Cooper's Hill remains applicable to any era that experiences a culture war. He characterizes Denham and the Royalists as "belligerents" who exclusively claim ideals and symbols that others may also value. Their opponents are not allowed also to lay claim, as the belligerents monopolize ideology to make themselves appear legitimate, the only group allowed to represent "national authority and identity." Readers may recognize belligerents in their own cultures.
Whichever one of the multiple readings of Cooper's Hill one may accept, it remains important for its effect on 18th-century writers. Had it not been for this poem, Denham's loss of popularity might have been complete.

Today we take a look at the phenomenon of conspiracy theories from several different angles including psychology, political necessity and some of the conspiracies de jour.
Stephan Lewandowsky talks about his recent study: NASA Faked the Moon Landings, Therefore (Climate) Science is a Hoax: An Anatomy of the Motivated Rejection of Science.
Neurologist and host of The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe Steven Novella discusses the psychology and neuroscience behind conspiracy theories and conspiracy theorists.
We talk to political scientist Eric Oliver about the surprisingly high percentage of people who believe in conspiracy theories and the reasons behind those beliefs. His forthcoming book is Enchanted America: How Intuition and Reason Divide Our Politics.
Scott Crow explains why the rise of progressive-left movements are always countered by a rise in right-wing conspiracy theories and why fascism downright requires conspiracies to survive.
How did an outlandish conspiracy theory born on the fringes of the internet end up in the spotlight at a rally for President Trump? Guest: Kevin Roose, who writes about technology for The New York Times.
My comment is about chapter 3 with Eric Oliver on how intuition and reason divide our politics – Inquiring Minds – Air Date 8-27-18.
I don't at all agree with this idea of dividing the country into 2 parts based on the worldview described. It is misguided to divide everyone into 2 camps: "rationalists" (positive) and those who rely on their "intuition" (negative). Intuition can be thought of "the voice in your head", which can be an intrinsic guiding principle of what is truly moral, just and right (truth and beauty). Intuition and emotion are considered part of the female principle, which is historically linked with mythology, mystery, spirituality and the heart and this principle gives great meaning to life.
So it is like the person making this argument is reiterating male principles (rationality) against female principles (intuition and emotion), which is really an outdated way of thinking about the world. He is continuing to pit the two against one another.
What IS balanced is for humans to use both parts of themselves in an integrated way of seeing the world (think yin & yang). A person can be rational, emotional and intuitive. Humans love symbolism and metaphor and they can give life meaning and magic. Strict "rational" thinking can cause many atrocities that we've seen in the world. What is "rational" can vary greatly from person to person, but it makes me think of linear thinking and a "dominator model" as opposed to the "partnership model" of society that was described by Riane Eisler.
I think that people feel they lack control of their situation in the world and they feel a bit hopeless or disorientated, and that's why conspiracy theories are thriving. They are attached to an ideology or a way of thinking and sadly they don't believe that facts should disrupt their worldview in any way.

Q: Autofac does not pass a instance of object Resolved using xml (Refection API) in web API I have a webapi controller where in the constructor has 2 parameters. I am using the autofac as the DI container. The RegisterAutofac() is the function called in the global.asax of the web api project
private static void RegisterAutofac()
{
    var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
    // Register the Web API controllers.
    builder.RegisterApiControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
    // get the first param via xml
    builder.RegisterModule(new ConfigurationSettingsReader("autofac"));
    // get the 2nd param directly
    builder.Register(c => new Assets()).As<IAssets>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();

    // Build the container.
    var container = builder.Build();

    // Create the depenedency resolver.
    var resolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(container);

    // Configure Web API with the dependency resolver.
    GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = resolver;

    //Register Autofac ends
}

When I run the controller , i can see that the first param is null and the 2nd one has a valid value. In the debug mode, I can verify that the first param ( using container.Resolve<>() ) has a valid value . Not sure why the autofac does not pass the dependency as a valid object to the controller when it is able to resolve it in the global.asax.
