Gaya: FIR filed against Manorama Devi under Child Labour Act after child was found employed at her residence on Wednesday. earlier, Minutes after the JD (U) leadership suspended MLC Manorama Devi from the party for "protecting a murder accused", the lawmaker went into hiding as the state government ordered her arrest on Tuesday evening in connection with the recovery of Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) from her house in Gaya, 100km from Patna.
A directive to arrest the MLC and seal her house was issued to the Gaya district administration by the state excise department as sale, consumption and possession of liquor is an offence in Bihar. At least six bottles of IMFL were recovered from the MLC's A P Colony house where police had gone looking for her son Rakesh Ranjan Yadav alias Rocky on Monday.
Rocky was on Tuesday morning arrested on the charge of killing a 19-year-old schoolboy after the Gaya trader's son reportedly overtook the Range Rover of the MLC's son in Gaya Police Lines area on May 7 night.
Earlier, state JD (U) president Bashishtha Narain Singh suspended the MLC from the party on the advice of party's national president Nitish Kumar, who is also the CM of Bihar.
"Initial reports suggest the MLC was involved in protecting her accused son. She has acted against the rule of law. She has also violated the oath taken by Bihar legislators against alcoholism as bottles of liquor were found in her house during a police raid. The MLC has violated the law on prohibition," Singh told TOI over the phone in Patna.
He said a show-cause notice would be issued to the MLC, asking her to explain her conduct in the entire episode involving the killing of Gaya youth allegedly by her son.


The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at McGovern Medical School invites mental health clinicians, geriatricians, nurses, social workers, and other caregivers of older adults to the 10th Annual Psychiatry Update: New Horizons in Geriatric Psychiatry Feb. 2 at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center (6411 Fannin).
As our aging population continues to grow, health-care providers must be prepared to address the prevalent mental health issues that older adults experience. Elderly patients with behavioral health conditions often present unique and complex challenges, requiring integrated care delivered by specialized and trained professionals.
This daylong symposium will provide a comprehensive guide of the most recent advances in research and clinical practice in the field of geriatric psychiatry. Topics focus on dementia and late-life depression, as well as the impact of caregiver burden on illness outcomes, practical strategies to prevent caregiver burnout, and the assessment and intervention of abused or mistreated elders. Participants will gain valuable knowledge that will improve and enhance the mental health treatment and overall health care of older adults in the Houston community. This continuing education program offers CME credits, psychology CE credits, and contact hours for nurses and social workers.
Expert clinicians and researchers from multiple specialties, including psychiatry, neurology, and gerontology will offer interdisciplinary perspectives and insights into geriatric mental health care. The keynote features Sudha Seshadri, MD, DM, founding director of the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases and Robert R. Baker Distinguished University Professor of Neurology, Psychiatry, and Cellular and Integrative Physiology at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Seshadri is also a senior investigator for the Framingham Heart Study.
A recognized thought leader in Alzheimer's disease, Seshadri enjoys a superb reputation in both science and clinical care. She recently co-authored position papers disseminated by the National Academy of Sciences on Preventing cognitive decline and dementia: A way forward and by the American Heart Association on Defining optimal brain health in adults. She has had peer-reviewed research continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health for 10 years and currently serves as the principal investigator on eight NIH grants.

In climate believers the river of reason runs uphill
April 10, 2015 1:41 pm \ 15 Comments \ by Richard Treadgold
Professor Michael Kelly last night gave a deeply thoughtful presentation full of insight into what has become the perilous intersection between UK policies on energy and climate change. (Thanks to Bryan Leyland and the Auckland branch of IPENZ for hosting the event at the University of Auckland.) This is a brief note; I'll be saying more about Michael Kelly's plain and practical message shortly.
During question time one chap clearly approved of the widespread and expensive campaign to spend our taxes in subsidising 'non-carbon' forms of energy such as windmills and solar panels (but not nuclear or hydro) in order to save the world, for he believes that the greed of man is wrecking the planet, no less. He said so several times.
But this belief did not rise from evidence, for global systems are normal. Rather, the belief having been implanted, the believer then inquires into evidence of wrecking to justify the belief. No believer has succeeded in this, but belief born without evidence needs none to survive. So the river of their reason continues to run uphill from conclusion to inquiry.
In that engineer-filled lecture theatre our loquacious friend, with effortless effrontery, many times called the climate sceptics 'climate deniers'. But he does not see that the denial resides in the climate believers. Like so much that fills the hollow anthropogenic global warming scare, the truth is the reverse of the common view.
It is the climate believers who deny climate change, in what can only be called pure denial—for they campaign to stop it from changing! If you don't believe me, read what they say:
The most arrogant, ridiculous claim man ever made—but regrettably now one of the most widespread. Climate change is a household word and the fiction that we control it penetrates every level of society.
Climate sceptics assert from the evidence that the degree of man-made climate change is vanishingly small, whereas climate believers claim it will destroy the world. Destroy? They don't offer evidence, but in a note of desperation they do call it 'overwhelming'.
Everyone wants to save the world, but this time, the only threat to the world is the campaign to save it.
I say, let reason run its proper course. And, since the scientists have failed us, bring on the engineers.

15 Thoughts on "In climate believers the river of reason runs uphill"
Andy on April 10, 2015 at 3:01 pm said:
I noticed that the Green Party facebook page seems to be full of sceptical comments whenever they bring up the climate issue, and I don't think these are all "drive by trolls"
Anyway, I am off to the land of windmills today (Scotland) via a more sensible country called Norway.
Richard Treadgold on April 10, 2015 at 3:04 pm said:
That's great news about the Greens. They ought to be listening to some opposition.
Have a good trip, Andy, and let us know the news from the North! Is, by any chance, the name Scrase of Norwegian origin? Huh?
No not Norwegian, English name.
Anyway, the Mussel farm closure is due to "climate change" we are advised.
http://www.3news.co.nz/business/climate-change-forces-christchurch-mussel-plant-to-close-2015040919
I hope to find some "climate change" in Norway in a couple of weeks when I don my skis and burn off some much needed calories in the mountains. It appears the winter is still in full swing there. I'll let you know.

>"one chap"
Probably an itinerant preacher from the Church of Climatology with a golden opportunity for a sermon to a captive audience.
Unfortunately another chap from mainstream religion, the Pope, has sold his soul and crossed over to the CofC:
['Climate Change Encyclical' sneak preview] – "the conservative ideal of individualism is undermining the common good."
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/pope-franciss-new-climate-change-encyclical-sneak-preview-2015-04-09?page=2
This is one of eight of the pope's public warnings edited in the "Catholic Climate Covenant", from his "Apostolic Exhortation," from the Guardian and other news sources, warnings on the "rapidly accelerating climate change" and global warming risks to the environment, along with our individual responsibility to "safeguard Creation, for we are the custodians of Creation. If we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us."
1) "Catholic Climate Covenant"?
2) "rapidly accelerating climate change"?
3) "Apostolic Exhortation"?
So much for truth (and the saving of souls goes down the gurgler to make way for Gaia).
Page 1 of the article above shows the Pope pictured with Obama. This is what Obama said in his inauguration speech (written by his speech writer Jon Favreau):
"We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. (Applause.) Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms."
"With common effort and common purpose……"
https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/01/21/inaugural-address-president-barack-obama
And again, so much for truth.
It will be interesting to see how Catholicism reconciles, in terms of priority, the Pope's 'Climate Change Encyclical' with, say:
James 4:4 – Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Problematic for Friends of the Earth but they REALLY like the Pope, now that he's working for a new boss:
'Can the Pope be cooler than Mick Jagger?'
http://www.foe.co.uk/news/pope_big_ideas_40826
With respect to the Green Party of NZ, I should add that a perusal of their facebook page suggests that they are fully supportive of the Greenpeace act of piracy on the Shell drilling rig heading up to Alaska.
It concerns me that a party funded by the taxpayer, and potentially part of a future government, is promoting illegal activity against a company like Shell
If they really want to pick a fight, they could try some of the less ethical outfits in the oil business from Saudi etc.
I guess they have figured that, living in a soft democratic culture, it is easy to pick on these targets. Yet the very culture that they seem to despise enables them to conduct these actions.
Mack on April 13, 2015 at 12:13 am said:
These Greenpeace people are actually getting what they want. …The price of oil has dropped because the US has now got an oversupply with the shale oil production. Their refineries are at max and can't cope with the glut. OPEC have just kept on producing oil at undercut prices and so we have this huge, sudden laying off of tens of thousands of oil workers, and workers in all the ancillary supply companies. We've got hundreds of off-shore oil rigs being mothballed. All the helicopter pilots laid off ,except for one or two to get a few maintainance men out to the rigs to inspect them and make sure there's no leaks.
The oil industry is big. The ongoing effect of this could be a big hit on the global economy. Nothing startling here in NZ except lower petrol prices.
The Greenpeace crowd soon will be able to throw a party on a deserted oil rig and nobody will take any notice
Richard Treadgold on April 13, 2015 at 8:19 am said:
Yes, interesting comments, Mack, but Greenpeace has failed to dampen the demand for oil. Surely that remains and once the reserves are run down a bit production must ramp up again to satisfy it?
Mack is right, the Oil industry is hurting big time.
Even Statoil have shed about 15% of staff, which is something unheard of in Norway. That are all used to having jobs and prosperity.
History tells us that the climb back up is much slower than the downturn.
Yes, good points, Andy. But whether the recovery is fast or slow, we should see demand return to previous levels and more because behind the short-term economic fluctuations the world continues to want what the oil can do, and populations are still rising.
Richard C (NZ) on April 14, 2015 at 10:14 am said:
The BIG LIE continues:
[MIT News] – "Marotzke's lecture will first illustrate the physically fundamental manifestation of anthropogenic climate change — increasing ocean heat content in relation to rising greenhouse-gas concentrations. This increase in heat content has gone on unabated for at least the past 40 years."
http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2015/kendall-lecture-jochem-marotzke-what-warming-hiatus-means-for-climate-change-0413
1) IPCC AR5 Chap 11 Detection and Attribution speculates (no science to cite after 25 years) that "air-sea fluxes" are the "expected" anthro ocean warming mechanism.
2) Chap 3 Oceans: Observations was unable to isolate said "air-sea fluxes" from AO interface observations.
3) Even if there are "air-sea fluxes", downwelling longwave infrared radiation (DLR) in the IR-C range has no effect on the ocean surface below about 100 microns depth (effective depth 10 microns):
http://omlc.org/spectra/water/gif/hale73.gif
The only DLR effect is evaporative i.e. cooling of the ocean surface. Heating is by solar IR in the IR-A/B range.of the EM spectrum.
4) The IPCC (and Marotzke evidently) are not cognizant of planetary thermal lag in the sun => ocean => atmosphere system in respect to solar change. The various estimates place the lag somewhere between 10 – 100 years with the most recent estimate being 30 – 40 years.
But they'll persist with the BIG LIE as long as possible anyway because this is climate science.
Monckton's list:

The remark was not later retracted.
2006: Mark Lynas, a "green" columnist, wrote: "I wonder what sentences judges might hand down at future international criminal tribunals on those who will be partially but directly responsible for millions of deaths from starvation, famine and disease in decades ahead. I put [their climate change denial] in a similar moral category to Holocaust denial – except that this time the Holocaust is yet to come, and we still have time to avoid it. Those who try to ensure we don't will one day have to answer for their crimes."
2006: Spiked Online reported that when a correspondent for the American current affairs show 60 Minutes was asked why his various feature programmes on global warming did not include the views of global warming sceptics, he replied: "If I do an interview with Elie Wiesel, am I required as a journalist to find a Holocaust denier?"
2007: Ellen Goodman, in the Boston Globe, said: "Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers."
2007: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lashed out at global warming skeptics, saying: "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors." The penalty for treason is death.
2007: Yvo de Boer, secretary general of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, said ignoring the urgency of global warming would be "criminally irresponsible".

2008: Dr James Hansen of NASA demanded that skeptics be "put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature". The penalty for crimes against humanity is death.
2008: David Suzuki, a Canadian environmentalist, said government leaders skeptical of global warming should be "thrown into jail".
2008: Alex Lockwood, a British journalism professor, said that writers questioning global warming should be banned.
2009: A writer at Talking Points Memo said global warming "deniers" should be executed or jailed. He later retracted this remark.
2010: James Lovelock, inventor of the "Gaia hypothesis", told The Guardian: "I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while."
2010: Dr. Donald Brown, Professor of "Climate Ethics" at Penn State University, declared that skeptics, who had caused "a 25-year delay in acting to stop climate change", may be guilty of a "new crime against humanity". The penalty for crimes against humanity is death.
2010: A video from the "10:10 campaign" showed climate skeptic children being blown up by their teacher in class, and their classmates were spattered with their blood and guts.

2014: The gawker.com website said: "Those denialists should face jail. They should face fines. They should face lawsuits from the classes of people whose lives and livelihoods are most threatened by denialist tactics."
2014: The host of MSNBC's The Ed Show promoted Soviet-style re-education for climate skeptic politicians by conducting an on-air poll on the question "Should climate-denying Republicans be forced to take a basic earth science course?"
2015: Katie Herzog at Grist.com on 16 January wrote: "If this planet is to survive the scourge that is humanity, we all have to stop reproducing. Yes, all of us. In that spirit, I propose we … sterilize every human male on his 10th birthday."
2015: Comment on the webpage of the Brisbane Times about a category 5 cyclone along the Queensland coast on 19/20 February: "These type of weather events could happen further south in future and be more intense with global warming … if anyone has to suffer out of this one I hope it is a climate change denier, if anyone."

Before I get to this coming Saturday's offerings, I want to remind you that September 5 is Seniors Day at Kerrisdale Farmers Market. You don't have to be a senior to attend this market but for those of you who are 55+ our vendors are busy putting together some special deals for you so make sure you mark September 5th on your calendar!
Beyond Bread. Beyond fabulous! I recently had the pleasure of sampling two items from this Kitsilano baker's selection at last week's market. First was The Morning Bun, which was a high quality, flakey croissant-type pastry with orange zest. Ambrosia! The second was their country loaf, which was an extremely well-crafted bread that was rustic and just begged to be eaten in thick slices with fresh butter, which is what I did. I'll be the first in line this Saturday when they return to KFM.
Our bread, pastries, bites and brew are all done in house. This helps us maintain quality and freshness while keeping our business tied closely to the community. A heaping spoonful of neighbourly love ensures that each hand-crafted delight we serve up is as outstanding as the folks who receive them. Of course, sweet talk can only do so much to describe who we are. If you really want to know what we're about, come in and experience it for yourself.
Looking for a spirited beverage? We welcome a new vendor to KFM this Saturday. Twisted Hills Craft Cider will be joining us. Twisted Hills hail from Cawston, BC. Read about their company and their cider-making process by following the link provided. Looking for another type of alcoholic product? We'll have Yaletown Distillery onsite with their craft vodka. Plus, for you wine lovers out there, we'll see the return of Earlco who'll be bringing their award-winning vintages to KFM.
An addition to the above vendors we'll have two organic produce vendors plus a whole bunch of traditional produce available. For prepared foods we'll see the return of Her Majesty's Pie and The Granola King. Plus there'll be flowers, jewelry, Jamaican Blue Coffee and gluten-free baked goods by Float On, so come on down for some great products.
Looking for your favourite vendor? Click here to access our interactive market map.
See you here… rain or shine!


Diana Nightingale comes on the Conquer Worry Podcast to discuss how the work of her late husband, Earl Nightingale, work could benefit someone who is struggling with their mental or emotional health.
Earl is known as the "Dean of Personal Development."
His radio program, called - Our Changing World, was the most highly syndicated radio program of its time.
In 1956 he produced, 'The Strangest Secret' which sold over a million copies, making it the first spoken-word recording to achieve Gold Record status.
Y'know when it feels your body is glued onto a sticky yucky tarry melted road and you can't get going no matter how hard you try lift those weary, exhausted legs?
What we have learned is that there are some things, regardless of the situation, that make us firmly stuck. Things that unless we recognise them, keep us stuck. Things we often do out of habit (because we've always done them – because we don't even know we're doing them! – because we don't know what we could do instead).
Things we would do well to dump.
Over-valuing other people's opinions: We place a lot of importance on other peoples' opinion of us. Think about it – what we do, what we wear, what we eat, how we eat it, we often ask ourselves – "what would Mom think of this dress?", "What would she do in this situation?". This was useful when we were kids – we were learning what was right and wrong, appropriate and not. It was a tool for survival. Adult approval is not only important, but often necessary for child survival.
But then we grow up (mostly..;)).In doing so though we often forget that now other peoples' approval is no longer necessary for survival. Indeed, it might even be harmful to us if we go along with what they want or approve of. Take cult suicides as a (granted, very dramatic) example.
And so we waste a huge amount of time doing other peoples' thinking for them. We censor and stop ourselves from laughing or dancing or loving, saying or doing – and all the while, the people who's opinion we are giving so much weight to? Well they're probably worrying what we think of them.
Ever think of it that way?
Bottom line : You don't know what other people are thinking. You don't even know if they're thinking. Allow yourself to let your opinion of you matter more.
We humans have a completely useless habit of replaying scenarios in our heads of things we said or did that we would really rather have done differently. Hindsight is a cruel thing, depending on how we use it!
Instead of hindsight, try 'kindsight'.
If we do something that was actually wrong, then guilt and some shame are appropriate responses. These feelings inform us that we could have made better choices, and that there are consequences for our actions. Best if followed up with a plan for how not to behave like that again, understanding why we did in the first place, and making amends or apologies if appropriate.
Otherwise, and here's the thing, guilt and shame are not helpful. If you feel shame over something that was simply a mistake, perhaps not ideal, but certainly not calamitous, then it would be nice to let that go wouldn't it? You've probably had the experience where a friend says they are still mortified about a past action that you dismissed as funny or unimportant. If we can let go on other peoples' behalf then let's do it for ourselves.
We call this "Habit guilt".
1: If I had all the knowledge then that I do now, would I have made a different choice? If so, then younger me deserves some compassion and credit for learning.
2: If my friend did that would I continuously nag and remind them of it and insist they feel shame?
We deserve to treat ourselves with the same amount of compassion as we treat others.
Here's a great real life example – it took us over a year to set this site live. We procrastinated and went through all sorts of mini-crises in the process. We got distracted, " too busy", have to vacuum the place, walk the dog – you've been there right?
Procrastination and indecision are fear in disguise. Usually, fear of what other people think (go back to our first point above).
When we accept that nothing will change unless we decide to change it, then change 'happens'.
In other words, change doesn't 'happen', it's a choice. Staying stuck and not making a choice is also a choice. Why not go ahead and make the choices that serve your goals, rather than keep you stuck! It feels much better (promise).
We are not talking about being an actual victim (of abuse, violence or other circumstances). We're talking about a sneaky, self-defeating mindset. Do you have a victim-mindset?
Here's a challenge – listen to your inner and real chat, and become aware of how often you say "I can't", "Ya but…", "It's not my fault that..". These are some of the ways we use words to disempower ourselves. While many things happen that are indeed beyond our control, what we can control is how we choose to react, what parts of an experience we embrace, what parts we let go.
Recently, one of us had a very nasty encounter with a verbally abusive person. It was a real victim situation. After which five lovely people immediately leapt to defend, support and comfort. Even with all of our experience, it took real effort to focus on the words of these five people rather than slip into a looping victim mindset triggered by this persons' abuse, this experience.
We need not allow negative people and experiences live rent-free in our heads.
1: Try to consciously be aware of the good. Be aware of how much headspace you assign to the 'bad' and realise you have a choice there. When you say "I can't", you probably mean "I don't want to" – and it really is OK to say that!
Hate being wrong? Yes, we empathise.. the thing is, we miss out on so much if we close our minds and hearts to the fact that other people know more, or better or have different experiences to us. Learning is growth, we are all learning, all the time. When we embrace being 'wrong', life gets a lot more interesting, and it's easier to move forward – promise!
When we are afraid, worried, shamed or regretful it's a sure sign we are living either in the past or shooting forward into an imaginary future. We're so busy looking back and forward we paralyse ourselves with judgement and fear. We rehearse future arguments, regret not adding to past ones, re-embarrass ourselves about mistakes – in fact, we're so easily triggered that just typing this triggered all sorts of delicious memories (OK, distasteful and yucky..).
The more present we stay – the more mindful we are – the more connected to 'the now', the happier we become. Focussing on 'now' reduces the amount of time we spend unhappily comparing our current self with our ideal self.
Notice your thoughts, don't judge them, don't even engage. Just notice what your brain is doing, right, now. Stay present, no regretting, no predicting. Just stay here. When we do this, we slow down, and solutions come easier. When we do this, we are being mindful, not mind-full.
And, as a result, moving on becomes easier because we are not 'stuck' in the stuff of the past. We are not weight down by regrets, habits, and worn-out beliefs.
Does any of this sound familiar for you? Of course sometimes, we need to be stuck for a while, that's OK. But when you become aware that it's time to move on, hopefully this will be the post for you!
And as always – remember, you've got this and we've got your back!
If you've spent any amount of time looking through my website, you will see I am a supporter of awareness for mental health and suicide. I also write fiction and blog posts that are hard to read because of their honesty. Why do I do this? Because I believe people shouldn't have to suffer in silence.
I've battled depression and generalized anxiety disorder for many years (I was diagnosed before I was in college). I have worn the mask, hiding my illness from people (except those really close to me, which are very few), afraid if I let on just a little bit I was struggling, my friends and family would suffer.
I live with darkness and suicide every day. It's a battle I've learned to manage. I sit with myself often, enduring the self-loathing my illness projects onto me, waiting until it passes. Sometimes that's a few hours; sometimes its days. Yes, I've been there, staring suicide right in the face. And while I know this will be hard for many to read (especially my family), it is a truth of my everyday life. In my times of utter despair, I have to remind myself what I'll be leaving behind if I go through with it. All I have to do is picture my husband and my kids and while the power to give up overwhelms me, I hold on to that ONE thing. Because it's my family who keep me here. It's my closest friends who remind me how much I've touched their lives, or their children's lives, just by being me. Those are the things I hold on to. Those are the things that eventually pull me out and bring me back into what's real. Through the years my husband and I have learned to deal with the ups and downs, the good days and the bad. We've worked out a system that works for our family. And we trudge on, knowing the downs will come again, but being better prepared each time for when they hit. This is why I am a supporter of mental health and suicide awareness.
Without the support of my husband, I don't know that I would be here today writing about my story. My illness is very scary for those around me as well as for myself. My husband only wants to help but often doesn't know how. My children see the effects but don't understand why mom is "sad" or "freaked out." It's hard watching your family struggle and knowing you are partially the cause. Its scary sitting with your own thoughts, part of you knowing they are lying and part of you knowing they are not. It's hard to sort through the truth and the lies.
I am learning to know myself better as a writer and as a person. And while I've been denying this truth about sharing my story, I have hindered progress in taking the right steps to move forward. Some people believe we have a "calling" in life. While I do not believe we have a pre-determined path to our lives, I do believe in fate. I do believe we are all here for a reason. I was born nearly three months early and weighed two pounds two ounces. At the time of my birth, hospitals were just figuring out how to care for premature babies. I survived. And I survive today, despite my illness telling me I have no purpose here. I will never be "cured," just as someone with a chronic illness will tell you. But I can share my story with others. I can own my illness as part of me but not all of me. I can continue to take care of myself and live out this "calling" I feel compelled to do.
I also credit people who have helped me step out on this limb. My husband, my very close friends, some people in my writing group, and a group called "This is My Brave." They have opened my eyes to the fact I don't have to live in silence anymore, pretending to be something I am not.
As I write this I am very aware of the ripple effects it may have. But it's time to share my story. It's time to step out of hiding and say "You can't hold me down anymore. I will fight you each and every time, even if every time you make it harder and harder to crawl out." I am not my illness. My illness is only a part of me. I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, and a human being. Do I have flaws? Absolutely, but they don't define me and they are not "all" of me.

'Downton Abbey' Movie Trailer: The Crawleys Are Back
by Adam Chitwood May 21, 2019
Focus Features and Carnival have released the first trailer for the Downton Abbey movie. Written by Julian Fellowes, who created and wrote Downton Abbey, the film was directed by Michael Engler, who previously helmed four episodes of the show in total, including the Season 6 Christmas Special/series finale. This film bring back most of the cast for an all-new story set after the events of the series finale.
The movie picks up in 1927, about a year and a half after the series finale was set, and revolves around the good folks at Downton preparing for a very special visit from the King and Queen of England. But oh bother, wouldn't you know it—they just can't do it without Carson, who has since retired. Indeed, it's kind of hilarious that the crux of the Downton Abbey movie is, "We have a fancy lunch but can't do it without our favorite butler!" But that's also what made the show such a delight—the "problems" more often than not were somewhat frivolous, but good golly it's just so pleasant to watch.
Of course the show wasn't without its dark moments, and it'll be interesting to see what twists and turns abound here. By the looks of it, the Downton Abbey movie looks like it's just what fans of the show ordered.
Check out the Downton Abbey movie trailer below. The film stars Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Brendan Coyle, Michelle Dockery, Kevin Doyle, Joanne Froggatt, Matthew Goode, Harry Hadden-Paton, David Haig, Geraldine James, Robert James-Collier, Simon Jones, Allen Leech, Phyllis Logan, Elizabeth McGovern, Sophie McShera, Tuppence Middleton, Stephen Campbell Moore, Lesley Nicol, Kate Phillips, Maggie Smith, Imelda Staunton, and Penelope Wilton. Downton Abbey opens in theaters on September 20th.
Here's the official synopsis for Downton Abbey:
The television series Downton Abbey followed the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who worked for them at the turn of the 20th century in an Edwardian English country house. Over its 6 seasons, the series garnered 3 Golden Globe Awards, 15 Primetime Emmy Awards, 69 Emmy nominations in total, making Downton Abbey the most nominated non-US television show in the history of the Emmys – even earning a Special BAFTA award and a Guinness World Record for the highest critically rated TV show along the way.

Anti-Islamophobia Conference Producer Defends Inviting Radical Imam
Imam Malik Mujahid, producer of the "Stand with the Prophet" conference, which is designed to help "lead the effort against Islamophobia" defended inviting Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, and according to the Wall Street Journal "has proclaimed that the 'real terrorists' are the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency" on Tuesday's "O'Reilly Factor" on the Fox News Channel.
When asked about Wahhaj's status as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, Mujahid responded "you should be happy that he is unindicted. You are unindicted. I'm [un]indicted, [the rest of] America isn't indicted. Being unindicted is something good, not bad. We are innocent until being proven guilty."And "if there was something, you would be indicted."
After O'Reilly said that in one of the sermons Wahhaj sells he says "this so-called democracy of America, will crumble and there will be nothing. The only thing that will remain will be Islam." (a Wall Street Journal report on Wahhaj also reports that Wahhaj says this in one of his sermons), Mujahid countered by pointing to the fact that Wahhaj was not indicted for any role in the 1993 WTC attack.
O'Reilly continued to press about the specific quotation in Wahhaj's sermon, Mujahid invited O'Reilly to come to another conference and declared that there needs to be "a great debate." He added that many people consider O'Reilly to be radical and emphasized the need to "build bridges of understanding among people and we to have America moving forward. This is the time for unity. This is not the time for division." And pointed out that a Muslim police officer was killed trying to stop the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo and that Lassana Bathily, a Muslim, played a key role in saving lives during an attack on a kosher deli in France.

Celebrity hair stylist Frédéric Fekkai drew upon years of expertise to develop his signature hair care line. Among the standouts: this color-protective shampoo, which adds a touch of style to our shower caddies. The professional-quality formula works into a rich lather that infuses color-treated locks with a protective complex that helps prevent fading. It'll keep those highlights vibrant even if you stretch out the time between salon visits.
I only use this shampoo every other shampoo, but I love how it helps my hair hold the color! my hair is shiny and NOT frizzy after using this shampoo. Highly recommended for color treated hair!
This shampoo is incredible. I love coloring my hair red, but the hardest thing with that color especially is that it fades so quickly. This line in particular as held my color longer than anything else I have tried. The mask is spectacular as well!! Love it!
I have bright red hair and all this shampoo did was leave my hair dry and strip the color out of my hair. No thanks birchbox.
I don't color my hair, so this was useless for me. I like the pink color though. Fekkai is not my favorite brand.
One of the best I've ever used at any price!
My hair is thick, wavy, and leans toward dry from colortreating. Without a doubt, this is the best shampoo / conditioner line I've ever used. My hair is soft, shiny, healthy looking, and absolutely un-strawlike. This shampoo and accompanying conditioner, a weekly masque, and leave-in product as needed keeps my hair in great shape!
A little bit goes a long way. I color my hair every 6-8 weeks and this makes my color vibrant and my hair soft. I quit using my blonde shampoo as this takes its place. I replaced my go to shampoo.
This shampoo smells amazing and lathers really well with just a dab. It makes my hair feel amazing. My favorite shampoo yet.
This product smells great. Not big enought to tell if it really made a difference in protecting my color. My hair was soft and shiny. Smells good.
I absolutely love this line even though it is a bit pricey for my preferences. The smell is fruity and fresh. It lathers up nicely and leaves my hair feeling super soft, clean, and fresh-smelling. I love it!

Q: PCB test patterns to assess etch quality Does anyone know of a good test sheet for assessing the quality of home etching?
Rather than create something and reinvent the wheel, I'm looking for a PDF/PS file featuring tracks of different thicknesses at different orientations.
Ideally, it might even be something useful (eg. some fine pitch SMD adapters).

A: I've found this test print: http://i.stack.imgur.com/mpoVO.jpg
It seems usable and tests different line widths and spacings. It comes from an article from some PCB-shop, http://www.pcbfx.com/main_site/pages/direct_etch/how_fine_a_line.html
EDIT: unfortunatelly, it was damaged with JPG compression. I have no idea what the PCB-shop authors were thinking of :( Anyways, I've found another one on this site: https://www.dr-lex.be/hardware/tonertransfer.html
I've inspected the lines at the upper half in GIMP and it seems OK, although the DPI could be a little better, as the finest line is just 1px@45deg so its heavily jaggy and probably no printer will print it "well". Except for that, this one test pattern as good for my test. I've spent lot of time on finding this, I'd probably do better my own in KiCAD instead of searching.. If you find a better one, please let me/us know!

A: I also made one for the square. I hope it fits.

A: I once made this test pattern that shows different trace and keepout widths as well as several package sizes including their pitch (in mm):

A: One test pattern I've found is "Laen's Etching Test Board".

Once my current favorite tune - from Norway !
April 1st 2009 and off I go with gusto, setting out on my PhD journey in my usual quirky fashion. 'Quirky' here could of course mean any number of things; idiotic, foolish, odd even. 'Quirky' can also mean original, and few people get to be truly original if they stay safely within conventional boundaries. In my view that creative strategy that confines so many people to mediocre conventionality; an inherent fear of failure, is partly responsible for creative restraint and consequent creative constraint. As the old saying goes: 'the man that didn't make a mistake, didn't make anything'.

Goldieknots Montana
Creating Connections One Fleece at a Time
Meet the Sheep
We have exciting news! It's lambing season! Here's Carbon and her new baby ewe lamb!!
Photo credit: Tabitha Calvert
Stormy is a 2016 Shetland / Cormo cross wether. Stormy is my very first "my-own-lamb." and was the first in the Goldieknots Montana flock. His mom, Bette is a beautiful black Shetland and his dad, Mick is a very handsome white Cormo ram.
He was just shorn in April of 2017 and I can't wait to process his soft black wool and show it off o everyone!
Little known fact about Stormy, he was the first little lamb to ride in my car… but definitely won't be the last!
Nelle Bly is the second in the Goldieknots Montana flock and is a Romney Targhee cross. She came to be with me because I'm a huge fan or her grandmother, Blackie, who I've purchased fleece from for the last three years.
She's named after the author and world traveler, Nellie Bly because, as the second lamb to ride in my car, she handled it like an old pro. I got in, she hopped in behind me (with a little help) and proceeded to lay her head in my lap for the 1 1/2 hour ride to the ranch.
Her fleece is amazing and soft! Nellie is a first-time mom this year. Her little lamb is Andy (see more about him below!) and he is such a character. Look for Nellie's roving available later this year!
This gorgeous girl belongs to a very close friend of mine. This lovely ewe is so friendly and fun. Every time I go out to the ranch, she finds me. (ok, ok, maybe it's because I have treats – but she does find me – and when I'm out of treats, she still stays with me – that's something, right?
I met Pinky at my second sheering ever. I put my hands down to pet her, her little pink nose came up to mine, and she hung out with me before they sheered her. I took her wool home that year, and have for the past three years. The's a cross of something with something, but I just love her soft white fluff! So far, she's been blended with some silver/gray Alpaca (which, by the way has made the most beautiful heathered yarn). This year, her wool will become yarn that will be available at fiber festivals later this year.
Oliver is the sheep that really got everything started for me. I assisted his human in a sheering and spinning demonstration for some elementary school students. She was the sheerer and Oliver is her Romney wether. From the moment I arrived, I was enamored with Oliver. I mean just look at that face! As a thank you, his human brought me some of his wool that she sheered that day. It was the most beautiful, crimpy, long-stapled natural fleece I had ever seen. I was in love – with Oliver – and now his wool! I decided, because it was a smaller batch of his wool, that I would hand-process it at home. I picked it, washed it, carded it, and then spun and knit it. I wish I could put into words how that experience changed how I felt about making things from scratch. Not only is it this sense of accomplishment (and it was) it's about history and how things had to be done before there was a "WalMart."
Carbon came to the flock in 2017 and is a silver-gray Romney ewe. She gave birth to twins this year, although one did not make it. She's being a very good mom and we're looking forward to more lambs from her next year. Her fleece, roving, and yarn will be available later this year!
2018 Newcomers!
Meet Andy & Annie, two lambs born this year.
Andy is a cute little ram lamb born to Nellie Bly in April. He's such a character and we're looking forward to seeing his fleece next year. While he's mostly cream white, he does have some red on his legs and a few little speckles throughout his fleece!
Annie is a shy little black Romney ewe. She was born in April to Carbon and we're looking forward to seeing that long and lovely fleece next spring!

Audi News: Audi TT Sedan is Off the Table
William Maley posted a topic in Audi
Earlier this month, we reported in the rumorpile that Audi was working on making the next-generation TT a four-door coupe. It would become the sole TT model within the next couple of years as the brand found it hard to justify doing a next-generation coupe and convertible. But it seems Audi isn't planning one. "Where the recent stories came from, I don't know. I don't know about a four-door TT," said Peter Oberndorfer, Audi's head of communications to CarAdvice. Oberndorfer did reveal that Audi at one time was considering a TT family that would have included a sedan. But plans would be scrapped due to the problems in trying to make it somewhat practical. "I think the TT is an icon, and to do a family [car] out of that is quite difficult. And especially in these times where we have to concentrate more and more, because we have to do gasoline and diesels on the one side, and electrification on the other side. So you have to concentrate more and more and think about what you can do and what you can afford. So we're quite happy with one TT at the moment," he said. Source: CarAdvice View full article

Ford News: Focus Active Has Been Scrapped Due To U.S.-China Trade War
William Maley posted a topic in Ford
Ford had planned on selling two cars by 2019 in the U.S. - the Mustang and Focus Active. The latter took elements of a crossover with a higher ride height, body cladding, and new bumpers, and put them onto a Focus hatchback. But plans to bring this model to the U.S. have been canned. Ford announced today that it has canceled the Focus Active as tariffs on Chinese-made goods would eat into profits. The company announced last year that it would import the next-generation Focus from China. "Given the negative financial impact of the new tariffs, we've decided not to import this vehicle from China. The significant thing that moved was the tariffs going up substantially higher. We're choosing to deploy resources elsewhere," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford president of North America. Unlike General Motors which had applied for an exemption on the Chinese-built Buick Envision, Ford did not apply for one as it would have not worked out due to production timing and a small number of sales - the company projected to sell fewer than 50,000 Focus Actives in the U.S. Kristin Dziczek, vice president of the Center for Automotive Research tells The Detroit News that this could be the first of many announcements. The combination of Chinese tariffs, along with the threat of a 25 percent tariff on imported cars and parts may push a lot of products out of the U.S. "Many models will be withdrawn from the U.S. market, and many won't be built in the U.S. at all. There are a whole lot of implications for the automotive industry and for consumers in terms of choice and prices," she explained. The decision also puts Ford in a tough spot. The Focus Active was going to be one of the models that would fill in the space left by sedans that are going to be cut. "It didn't make sense for us to continue to invest in this program. We're looking at the entire landscape, and we're thinking through what other products we can offer customers," said Galhotra.

Report Says Infiniti and Daimler Joint Compact Car Project Has Been Halted
William Maley posted an article in Automotive Industry
Back in 2010, Renault-Nissan and Daimler announced a new partnership that would see the two share powertrains and work on various projects. Some of those have come to fruition such as the Infiniti QX30, which is a Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class in different clothing and the platform that underpins the Infiniti QX50. But other projects between the two have been halted. Late last week, the Nikkan Kogyo business daily reported that joint development of luxury compact car project has been suspended. The paper cites the change in consumer preference to crossovers and the uncertainties over tariffs. The second reason is important as the new compact sedan was expected to built at a plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The plant is 50/50 joint venture between Daimler and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. Nissan spokesman Shiro Nagai declined to comment when asked by Automotive News. He did say that Nissan remains committed to the partnership. Source: Nikkan Kogyo via Automotive News (Subscription Required)

Chevrolet Cuts Spark EV From Lineup
William Maley posted an article in Chevrolet
The Chevrolet Spark EV is no more, ending a three-year run for the bowtie brand. The Detroit News learned that production of the Spark EV ended last summer as a part of a move by Chevrolet to get ready with selling the Bolt EV. Another reason not listed in the story is that the Spark EV was based on the previous-generation model, not the all-new model. When Chevrolet revealed the Bolt EV back in 2015, GM executives said the Bolt would likely not replace the Spark EV. Chevrolet spokesman Fred Ligouri said Chevrolet sold about 7,400 Spark EVs during its three-year run from 2013 to 2016. The model was only sold in California, Maryland, and Oregon.

William Maley Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com November 26, 2013 Some sad news for those hoping for another Mazda vehicle with the rotary engine. Masa-michi Koga, Mazda's new CEO tells Automotive News that for the rotary engine to become commercially viable, Mazda would need to sell around 100,000 vehicles a year. "No plans now. It has to be a viable commercial proposition. If we are going to adopt it, it has to be a product that can generate at least sales of 100,000 units a year. We have to be able to achieve a profit," said Kogai. Since Mazda pulled the plug on the RX-8 last year, rumors and speculation has been running rampant. Within the past few months, Mazda's former CEO expressed the idea of putting a rotary engine into a hybrid vehicle to generate electricity to charge the battery. There was also the rumor back in August which stated Mazda was hard at work on a new rotary engine that was expected to come out in 2015 or so. Now Koga doesn't fully slam the door shut on the rotary engine. He said that engineers are still researching rotary engines as they are able to run on a variety of fuels. "We are the first and only manufacturer to commercialize the rotary engine. In that respect, we have some responsibility. So please allow us to continue our research," said Kogai.

Industry News: Aston Martin Cans The Cygnet
William Maley Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com October 10, 2013 Aston Martin's most questionable vehicle, the Cygnet city car has been canned after being on sale for three years. A source tells Reuters that the decision was made after the company only sold 150 Cygnets. The Cygnet was a Toyota iQ city car dressed up in Aston Martin clothing. The brand hoped to move 4,000 units per year to "environmentally conscious city dwellers". The Cygnet was also a move to help Aston Martin reduce their CO2 emissions to meet the more stringent EU rules. Source: Reuters William Maley is a staff writer for Cheers & Gears.

The first is a convertible FR-S which we got a preview of at this year's Geneva Motor Show and the other is a turbocharged version. But a new report says both models have been canceled.

Home Entertainment Killing Eve and Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge signs a $20 million deal with Amazon
Killing Eve and Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge signs a $20 million deal with Amazon
It's amazing what some award success can do not just for one's reputation, but for their bank balance as well. Fresh from winning three Emmys for her hit comedy series Fleabag comes the news that Amazon has offered series creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge a massive $20 million deal to produce content for the streaming service for the next few years.
According to Variety, Amazon offered Waller-Bridge this deal following what was easily their biggest night at the Emmys when several of their shows took home big awards (Fleabag is distributed by Amazon in the US, though is actually a BBC production). It was the success of Fleabag though that was perhaps one of the biggest stories as it heralded Waller-Bridge (who created, wrote and stars in the new show) into the limelight and proved that she is a force to be reckoned with on the TV front following the success of this and her other big show Killing Eve.
The report does not detail exactly what projects Waller-Bridge will be working on for the network, but her commitments to Fleabag at least won't get in the way as she has already revealed that the show will not continue past its second season as she wants to end the show off on the right note. Which goes to show that Waller-Bridge has a lot of wisdom in her creativity and isn't just going to make additional seasons for the money. Something that many other networks and shoes can learn from.
This is no doubt a good draw for Amazon as they want to continue their winning run with hit series and in Waller-Bridge they now have someone who not only appears to have a knack for writing shows that audiences and critics both love, but she also appeals to a large demographic with her female-fronted series.

Biggest Bio-Incubator Facility BioNEST inaugurated on National Science Day
'I have seen five such facilities in the country but this BioNEST facility is the best among them, said Prof. G Padmanaban, Padma awardee and former Director, Indian Institute of Science while inaugurating the 'Bio-incubator Nurturing Entrepreneurship for Scaling Technologies' (BioNEST)" facility at the University of Hyderabad.
The biggest Bio-Incubator facility in Hyderabad, perhaps in India, with 20000+ square feet built-up area was inaugurated on 28th February, 2018, at School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad, on the National Science Day. This facility is supported by Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), a unit of Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Ministry of Science & Technology, New Delhi.
Congratulating the UoH, Prof. Padmanaban said, 'Incubators are required in all government institutions for start-ups to commence their work'. 'I have gone through 5000 research proposals and out of that 700 are operational in 500 industries. They have developed 100 products out of which 50 have been commercialised', he added. Such is the scope of research and I call upon the government institutions which are having 1000 laboratories to start such incubation facilities that can have start-ups capable of aligning with the research happening in the institution, Prof. Padmanaban added. He called upon the women researchers to take up start-ups and work towards entrepreneurship.
Prof. E. Premkumar Reddy, Director of Experimental Cancer Therapeutics, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York was the guest of honor. 'This is an impressive facility and I am honoured to be here', said Prof. Premkumar. 'I am happy to be associated as a mentor for this facility and confident that it will be one of the best in the country', he added. He also gave an overview of the Bio-Incubator facilities operating in the United States of America.
'It's like a dream come true for the School of Life Sciences and the University of Hyderabad', said Prof. Appa Rao Podile, Vice-Chancellor, UoH. 'The selection procedure will be stringent for the incubatees and we are confident that we will have good start-ups at our facility', he added. Prof. Appa Rao while concluding said, 'The UoH will have the reputation of having one of the best Bio-Incubator facilities in the World'.
Prof. P Reddanna, faculty in the department of Plant Sciences who is the Principal Investigator for BioNEST says, 'This 20,000 plus sq.ft facility can accommodate 30 startups and provide 16 benches for research'. More than 350 PhD scholars, faculty are available in the School of Life Sciences who can help in collaborations and consulting for the start-ups', he added.
Located in the natural green serene environment and central to Knowledge-hub, with easy access, the incubation center will focus on new and emerging technologies requiring multidisciplinary inputs in the areas of Biology & Biotechnology and shall nurture early stage start-ups and facilitate translation of knowledgebase into commercialisable products and process. The facility is expected to bring together the high-quality researchers in the University and budding entrepreneurs either from the university or from outside to catalyze scientific enterprises that would focus on life sciences, biotechnology, Health care and allied areas. The prospective entrepreneur will enjoy accessing the general facilities and instrument of the incubator as well as specialty instruments and facilities of the school of life sciences and the University of Hyderabad.
University of Hyderabad already made its entrepreneurship entry through Technology Business Incubator (TBI) funded through Department of Science and Technology, Technology Incubation and Development of Entrepreneurship Program (TIDE) funded through Department of Electronics and Information Technology. The BioNEST will incubate startups and entrepreneurs in the life sciences, biotechnology, healthcare and allied areas of research.
The proposed incubation facility broadly fulfils the University of Hyderabad's vision of innovation and entrepreneurship through cutting edge science and technology that engages students, researchers, and faculty in the region. The facility will have profound impact on the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem of the region in general and the campus in particular.
The inauguration ended with vote of thanks by Prof. B Senthilkumaran, faculty in the School of Life Sciences.
