Powerless!
India broke a world record. And the world paid attention (rightly so). The news grabbed headlines internationally. It did not have anything to do with the Olympics. It did not even have to do with cricket. You know what that means? Even the non-Commonwealth countries got into the act and came away spellbound and amazed.
By the time you read this, I would hope that this is old news. I really hope!
India now holds the dubious record of having the largest power cut ever in the history of the world.
The power went out for two days in a row when the electrical grid went down. And on that second day which was the worst ever, more than 600 million people along great swathes of the country – the Northern and Eastern states of India were severely impacted (this is more than the entire population of EU!).
Both Indian outages were the world's largest by far. The next closest was a 2005 blackout that affected 100 million people in Indonesia. What a reason for 'India Shining' to make headlines around the world! 😦
Like I said, hopefully this is old news by the time this post goes up and that there have been no other such crippling occurrences in India since then.
There's lots you can read about the topic so I won't repeat it here. I thought I would focus, instead, on some of the reactions of people in and out of India.
This was a seriously massive problem but that doesn't mean you can't have a chuckle or two at its expense, or vent your frustration. As people in India do.
Media here (as well as citizens) had a field day. The best headline, by far, that I came upon was this from The Economic Times; it took up a huge chunk of the cover page real estate.
SuperPOWER India, RIP
BBC showcased all the Indian headlines here. Have a look.
From various, random sources, I picked out some quotes and comments from Indian citizens, and a few from non-Indians too – some for their insight or anger, others for their entertainment value. But even those with humor and wit have an undercurrent of sadness and dismay about them.
"This news bring shame to India in world's eyes … I don't think any outside investor in a right mind can invest in India. If given the chance, even Indians would invest outside than here."
"Delhi is powerless is a known fact. For they want only political power in UP and Centre. They are not worried about the people suffering without power for their daily routine. India will surely become superpower in 3025."
"This awful power grid failure should act as the wake up call for the slumbering and dithering govt to reform the power sector on an urgent basis."
"People in the know have been saying that India's development is a sham, and is not real. The infrastructure quality is pathetic, and that the institutions are not reliable, since the country reeks of corruption in every aspect. But, the media hype was such that any attempt to suggest that development funds were being pilfered thru poor quality of delivery fell on deaf ears. Now the world can see for itself, the colossal collapse of electricity infrastructure affecting 600 million people. What better proof was required that all state governments are run in the most incompetent manner possible. Nothing about India inspires confidence – atleast not with current and future crop of political leadership."
"While the world was waiting for India's 'Golden Moment' to finally arrive, the Mother of all Blackouts happened. 'India Shining' now sounds like the ultimate misnomer. India needs to give up its dreams of becoming a 'superpower' when it cannot even provide clean drinking water, clean toilets, clean food, and now electricity to most of it's population. Most Indians still live in poverty worse than sub-Saharan Africa."
"Too much outsourcing is straining the grid."
"I can not reach my customer service rep! What is de problem?"
Click on picture for "Power Grid Failures a Wake-up Call for Aspiring India" from The Hindustan Times
"Our worthy power minister elevated as home minister for this feat." [Note: The day after the massive blackout, in an unrelated power shift at the Capital, the then power minister was given the Home ministry – a much larger charter – and therefore a promotion!]
"Is it any surprise that we have reached this pass? Well this is the start and we shall see many more similar events. There used to be a method in the madness, but now the method has been lost and only madness prevails. When we see the country is being looted by all and sundry and we have no respect to a fellow human being where else do you believe this country will go. There will come a time when the people of this country will rise as they have already started doing, woe betide the politicians. I sincerely hope and believe that if this country is to progress at all we need decision makers in the Government whose first priority should be the welfare of the citizens and not how to enrich themselves and so long as we have the current crop of criminals ruling this country there is no hope at all."
"India is the first country to invent a time-machine. It was tested successfully for 2 days. The North Indians were the privileged ones to travel twice to "Dark Ages" and back."
"Wow, look at all the BRILLIANT ENGINEERS in India. They can't even keep the power on."
And the reply to this: "Engineers did their job of tripping the line when the load was high, it's time the politicians stopped eating into the money allocated for system expansion. Otherwise, the results are evident."
"I appeal all fellow Indians to go out in large numbers and vote AGAINST Congresss/UPA in the next general elections. Losing elections is the greatest punishment for any party"
"Lest we forget. Gujarat stood alone – with absolutely no cuts. Meanwhile it continues to export electricity to the rest of India."
"The Gujarat example really does help to show that it is possible for all of India to have continuous power and that it's not just a fanciful dream"
"Stop electing the wrong people."
"China should build India's infrastructure. A looming property bubble means a construction bust; all this capacity and nothing to do with it. India needs the infrastructure, China has the know-how."
"Well, as far as I can tell, there actually was minimal impact on the daily lives of middle class people in Delhi. I guess the reason is that all of them have pretty robust power backup systems. Much more robust than the state owned companies. Therein lies another of "India's big success stories" as the economist noted."
"Government in India has been useless for the last 65 years and that should be considered as a given. In the early 90s, when Indian girls were winning beauty contests worldwide, there was this saying that India was doing well in Fashion and IT because those were not government focus areas."
"The world's largest democracy is now also the world's largest 'blackout superpower'. At one go, 1,000,000 (one billion) Indians were powerless (and speechless?). Consider that 350 million Indians have no electricity to lose and another 650 million Indians suddenly lose their electricity. A state that fails it's people this badly is a failed state."
"India gets a pass for its drawbacks because it is a democracy. By allowing bids from states to undermine the national electrical grid, the national government has essentially created a ready excuse for failure. Why do states even get what is in a effect a vote on a national energy policy? Let's face it: Democracy is a difficult process and not all countries are fully capable of it. It is an absurd act of faith to believe that the costs of democratic governance are worth every possible disadvantage, and yet this has been a major tenet of Western ideology for a century or more.
Countries whose economic conditions are far more pressing than any political deficit could benefit from a realistic appraisal of available solutions rather than blindly following a path that leads to continued underdevelopment and harm. The fact that India takes pride in its democracy shouldn't fool anyone into belief that its democratic process places it above others simply because votes are cast. Stories like these indicate the opposite: That India's democracy is a great hindrance to its prosperity and that democracy itself may be a severe impediment to growth."
"The political leaders always have their kind of answers to console the mass: 'such calamities happen in developed countries as well.' The emerging-superpower-status is still intact,and everybody can go back to sleep."
There are usually as many opinions as people. In India that translates to over a billion. But, in this case, universally the largest blame for this was cast on a highly corrupt government – and there was no boundary to this – it was at national, state and local levels.
Hard to question reality!

This catastrophe you've documented and the reactions that have been collated has burst the virtual 'economic power-house bubble' that young India seemed to be thriving on. I do hope it makes people sit up and think about the state of our country and do something about it! Even in this incident, it has been widely quoted that 600 million people were impacted by the power outage, both directly and indirectly. The question remains as to how many or what proportion of this population actually had access to electricity in their homes? Unlike is most other 'emerging economies' rural electrification in India is still a distant dream.

You know when I came to this country just under a couple of years ago, I had such a different outlook. "India Shining" and "India Rising" were meaningful. Exciting growth was happening. But over the past year, those hopes have slowly but surely been eroded. I am becoming as cynical as the next Indian, much as I try not to be. I still think the potential of this country is HUGE. But to realize this potential, we need government here to be completely transformed (i.e. the people who work for government and are purportedly serving its citizens need to really do their job!).
Is that even possible??!
shanters | August 22, 2012 at 3:03 pm
I too have slowly changed my views of India since my return three years ago. What depresses me is two-fold:
– that from among a billion+ people we are unable to raise a handful of statesmen/women who will truly stand up for their views and be counted;
– that the young people of our country – the greatest proportion of our population – are unable and/or are unwilling to make a sustainable stand/demand for a better country.
Perhaps our form of democracy and our system of government is not quite the right combination for a country of such diversity? How can a democracy that guarantees equality for all and a government that has rendered the caste system illegal, for instance, then reference a person's caste in every sphere of life?
I am hoping that the self awareness raised by people such as Aamir Khan has an impact on our youth to sit up and think, to act and persevere to demand the country that was promised us. But this hope may be in vain too!
Okay, time to move on from this depressing subject….I am going to find something positive and light-hearted to write about! 🙂

Iraq: Execution of five people following Baghdad bombing comdemned
05 Jul 2016, 04:20pm
At least 105 people have already been executed in Iraq this year
Amnesty International has criticised Iraq's execution of five people following the suicide truck bombing in Baghdad at the weekend.
According to the Iraqi Ministry of Justice, five prisoners were executed yesterday, with the authorities saying that more executions would be carried out following Saturday night's attack in the capital. The attack, which the Islamic State armed group said it carried out, reportedly killed at least 213 people and injured a further 200.
In a statement yesterday, the Ministry of Justice said it would "categorically reject" any international interference in its executions, adding it would not accept any human rights arguments against the death penalty. The ministry said that 3,000 people remained on death row, while more defendants were being sentenced to death.
At least 105 people have already been executed in Iraq this year, while Iraqi courts have also handed down more than 123 death sentences, mostly to those accused of acts of terrorism. On 29 June, Amnesty wrote to the Iraqi authorities asking them to halt all executions, establish an official moratorium on executions, commute all death sentences, and ensure that all retrials are in full compliance with international fair trial standards.
Amnesty International Middle East and North Africa Director Philip Luther said:
"Executions are not the solution and they do not address the root causes of crime.
"The government's response marks a worrying surge in the use of the death penalty in the country's counter-terrorism efforts.
"We call on Iraq to immediately halt all executions and establish an official moratorium on executions. The country cannot continue to use counter-terrorism to justify gross miscarriages of justice and the use of the death penalty."
Grossly unfair trials
The criminal justice system remains critically flawed in Iraq. Trials, particularly of defendants facing charges under the anti-terrorism law, can be grossly unfair, with courts often admitting torture-tainted evidence, including when defendants recant their "confessions" in court.
Last year, the Iraqi cabinet proposed amendments to the country's Code of Criminal Procedure aimed at speeding up the execution process. Before a death sentence can be carried out, currently the president of Iraq must ratify it. But if the amendment is passed, executions could be carried out without the president's approval a month after being submitted for ratification. The cabinet's proposal would also make it more difficult for defendants sentenced to death to seek a retrial.
Former President Jalal Talabani refused to ratify any death sentences, which led to a "backlog". Last year, the new president, Fuad Ma'sum, came under significant pressure from MPs and the public to ratify death sentences following the Speicher massacre, in which at least 1,700 military cadets from Speicher military camp near Tikrit were killed after capture by ISIS fighters in June 2014. A special committee was set up in the presidency to manage the issue.

The old theater adage is "don't work with children or animals." In this case, the creations of the Handspring Puppet Company makes that doubly true when working with mechanical animals. It doesn't take long for the audience to get swept up in the beauty and pageantry of the magnificent horses in the moving piece, "War Horse." Though originally written as a children's book, this epic tale of love and devotion gets a bit too intense for the younger set as war, cruelty to animals (and humans) and a lot of blood and horror are all part of the story. Fortunately the play is epic due to the puppetry and special effects more than the story line and it's just right for the older theatre goer.
Alex Morf leads the way as Albert, a young man who takes to a young foal that his father, in a drunken stupor, has bid too highly on at an auction and brings home. Brian Keane as the tyrannical father and Angela Reed as the mother bicker about the foolish purchase and how the rent will be paid while Albert sees nothing but the young horse he has called Joey. At the insistence of his father, Albert trains Joey to pull a plow even though he is truly a thoroughbred. This comes in handy for the grown up horse after he is "drafted" by the British army in the Great War and makes himself useful by pulling artillery. Even when captured by the Germans, Joey saves himself from the front lines in similar fashion.
Original music is by Adrian Sutton and the "song maker" is John Tams, wonderfully performed throughout by Nathan Koci and John Milosich. But the real stars on stage are the wonderful "manipulators" who handle the horses throughout the story. Although you see two pair of feet under the intricate horse frames made of various materials and see the man always alongside the horse creating the head movements, you soon get lost in the magic of what these creatures can actually do as they work their way into our hearts and minds. Toby Sedgwick is given credit for the movement and horse "choreography" and his work is outstanding. The movements as they shake their heads or tails, take a bucket of oats and even the realistic horse snorts and whinnies are right on the mark. And Adrian Kohler and Basil Jones are the masterminds behind the creation of these magnificent beasts.
A swath of material hanging over the backstage area becomes the background for projections to indicate location, time and other material necessary to moving the story along. The sounds, lights and other special effects are nothing short of remarkable. The transition of Joey from foal to horse is simply incredible, for instance, as is the slow motion death of the captain who is riding Joey into battle (told you it wasn't really for the kids). So "War Horse" becomes more a spectacle than a play. The story is fine and you can see where it would appeal to a younger set but the thing about this play is the sheer genius of the puppets and how real they become to an audience. So it's a judgement call on bringing the children. The older ones will find it fascinating and probably appreciate the magic that happens while the younger ones may just get frightened by the story and the blasts of lights and gunfire.
"War Horse" is truly a wonder to behold. It's a definite tissue moment at the finale as tears well up- even at the end of the startling first act finale. It's a theatrical event that you won't want to miss, however and one you may not believe until you actually see it. "War Horse" plays at the Fox Theatre through March 24th. Call MetroTix at 314-534-1111 for tickets.

Shades of Light a composition by Leo Welch is a four-movement work of about 8 minutes for advanced three-part guitar ensemble or trio. The work was written to provide guitar ensembles the opportunity to perform a sophisticated multi-movement work where the four movements are integrally related to the whole. The work explores the many coloristic resources of the guitar which makes the work challenging and rewarding to play. Tone color changes rest and free strokes and percussive techniques are utilized throughout the piece.If practice time is an issue several different movement configurations may be used. However the piece is best understood when all four movements are performed consecutively with the transition sections.The signature series is a collection of single new compositions of intermediate to advanced difficulty. Each tune has parts that require notation reading in upper positions such as 5th 7th 8th 9th and 10th positions. These selections are recommended for a more advanced high school guitar ensemble. Completion of the H.O.T. Hands-On Training Second Year will prepare a student to perform these selections.The purchase price includes permission to reproduce the individual parts as needed to supply your ensemble. This permission is for the parts only and does not apply to the score.

Moving Day, Québec
Moving in Quebec City, 2007. © Claude Boucher / wikimedia/ 2007 / CC BY-SA 3.0
Moving Day is a national tradition in Québec, where today is called the "Jour du déménagement."
By custom, leases in Québec go from 1 July to 30 June. A very high proportion of the dwellers in Montréal are renters — in 1998, over 250,000 people applied to have their telephone services hooked up at a new location for the 1st of July. In 1998, the BBC sent a film crew in to make a documentary of it all.
The person who is moving treats all the helpers to meals. People usually get food delivered in or as take-away. The food is often pizza, submarines or fried or barbeque-sauce chicken from the Saint-Hubert chain of restaurants — food that doesn't require a set-up kitchen or anything other than paper plates or plastic forks to eat. The beverages of choice are beer or Pepsi.
Some people make firm plans to be away that week-end well in advance, so that they can't get hit up to help move somebody.
A week before, Québec's national day Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (aka Fête Nationale du Québec) was celebrated. But because Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day was a long weekend holiday, it also gave those who are moving a bit of an extra day to pack in advance as well.
1 July is also an official holiday, for Canada Day, so you can move without taking a day off work.
If you're booking a van for moving, or hiring actual movers, if you don't do it in advance by at least three to six months, you may be out of luck.
Many garage sales are held in advance by people wanting to lighten the load before moving, and at the end of Moving Day, many good quality freebies that people decided against moving can be found on the curbside.

Moving Day used to be 1st of May. The idea dated from colonial times; the date prevented landowners from forcing tenant farmers from moving before the snows had melted.
In 1973, the government moved it to the 1st of July. The advantages of the July date were that people already had the day off, the weather was likely to be better for the move, and, it allowed children to finish their terms in whatever school they had been in.
Interestingly, having leases begin on the 1st of July is an old tradition — very old. It goes back to ancient Rome: "The Roman rental year normally ran from July 1 to June 30; this is attested by a great number of literary, legal, and epigraphic sources…" [1]Frier, Bruce W.

The ritual of Moving Day is deeply set in Québec. In her 1945 novel, 'Bonheur d'occasion', Gabrielle Roy depicts the frenzy of the day in the Montreal suburb of Saint-Henri. In his 2004 comedy film 'Premier juillet, le film', Philippe Gagnon depicts three households caught up in the turmoil.

Skål: The beer renaissance in Sweden is inspiring a Swedish neighborhood in Chicago and its beloved landmark water tower.
Jenny Pfafflin is passionate about beer. She is a certified cicerone who will be at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago to talk about, among other things, a new renaissance in Sweden: the beer renaissance.
The beer renaissance in Sweden is very similar to that in the U.S., encouraged in part by President Jimmy Carter, who in 1978 signed a bill making home brewing legal in the U.S. Homebrewers started opening brewpubs and breweries, and the craft beer movement took off. Fast forward 25 years, and the U.S. is now the leader in craft beer.
Swedish beer drinkers noticed what was going on in the U.S. Pfafflin says more American beer is exported to Sweden than any other country in the world aside from Canada, and "the influence of American craft beer in Sweden has inspired a craft movement of its own." In the past few years exciting new brews from Brekeriet, Modernist Brewing and Omnipollo have arrived, as have brand-new beer bars, and American-based craft beer giant Brooklyn Brewery opened the doors to Nya Carnegie, a Stockholm-based brewery collaboration with Carlsberg Sweden.
Pfafflin will showcase several Swedish beers at the event, a couple Nordic beers, including a Berliner Weisse from Copenhagen, and an Icelandic stout from Ölvisholt Brugghús. She will also share American-made beers with Swedish roots, featuring Vattentorn, a Baltic Porter that was made collaboratively by Metropolitan Brewing and Andersonville Brewing in the Andersonville neighborhood. Also on tap will be Hammarby Syndrome from Brooklyn Brewery, a Swedish-inspired strong ale made to celebrate the opening of its sister brewery, Nya Carnegie, in Stockholm.
Metropolitan Brewing and Andersonville Brewing's "Vattentorn" (water tower) is extra special: It was brewed especially to raise money for the Swedish American Museum's Water Tower Fund.
For nearly 90 years the water tower above the Swedish American Museum, today known as the Andersonville Water Tower, has served as a landmark for the neighborhood that was once home to a majority of Swedish immigrants. In the 1990s the water tower tank was painted to look like the Swedish flag and it didn't take long for neighborhood residents to fully embrace it as their own symbol. Expected to have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years, the water tower was originally erected in 1927, and provided water to the building's fire suppression system. Years of maintenance and restoration couldn't beat the record harsh winter of 2014, however; a thick layer of ice irreparably cracked the tank's base, which leaked into the museum.
Like Pfafflin, a person needn't be Swedish to appreciate this special event, but chances are good that even the non-Swedes know how to pronounce "Skål," the fitting name of the event on October 16 at which she will discuss and teach everything she knows about these tasty craft beers.
And if you're headed to Sweden, Pfafflin suggests you may want to keep tabs on what's happening in the always evolving Swedish beer scene: A couple beer writers to follow are Joel Linderoth at Expressen's Mitt Kök and Tobias Göth at Allt om Mat.

Defend Washington Beer – This Friday.
Beer lovers, Hop Heads, Pro and Home Brewers, Bar owners, UNITE! This is a call to action. We have contacted our representatives and the Governor regarding the proposed beer tax and all we seem to get in return are auto response e-mails.
It is time to GIVE BACK a little of your time to your favorite Washington brewers. Emails and phone calls don't give the same message as an actual gathering. We need to show solidarity and let our state leaders know that we support our local brewers!


What People Say about CDP?
An eye camp was organised by Citizen Awareness Centre (CAC) of Poshwalpur VDC on 18 December 2016 where 193 people received free checked up and medicines. The camp also diagnosed 70 cases of matured cataract and they were taken for surgeries in the local hospital.
The camp was conducted with the support of Shree Janaki Eye Hospital, Janakpur, Tilganga Eye Pratisthan and Fred Hillowe Foundation. The eye camp was led by Dr Rudal Prasad Sah, Eye Officer and Ram Gun Sah, Eye Health Worker. The Community Development Programme (CDP), Dhanusha played the coordinating role to succeed this initiative.
The initiative role for coordination among CACs and Shree Janaki eye hospital was done by Khar Bhushan Sah, DC, CDP Dhanusha. The contract was made between hospital and CDP Dhanusha.


A dispute in USC's Marshall School of Business is shaping up to be a key test of this new approach, and it's pitting top administrators against some of the university's major donors.
At issue is the removal of Dean James Ellis, who has led the school since 2007, over his response to sexual harassment and discrimination claims against faculty and staff.
USC's interim president, Wanda Austin, informed Ellis earlier this fall that she planned to replace him at the close of the academic year next spring, three years before his term expired. Austin, the first woman to serve as president, as well as her supporters cast the decision as evidence that the school is addressing previous missteps.
"We learned our lesson," Austin told The Times this week.
But influential USC benefactors are fighting the move. Pasadena billionaire Ming Hsieh, a trustee who has donated more than $85 million, hired a Century City litigator to advocate for Ellis before the USC board.
Little has been released publicly about the sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination cases Ellis has handled in his role as dean. Such complaints are investigated on a confidential basis by USC's Office of Equity and Diversity, and Austin declined to discuss the nature or number of accusations.
An executive assistant for Ellis said the dean was unavailable for an interview. The attorney Hsieh retained, Louis "Skip" Miller, said he was representing both Ellis and the billionaire trustee. Miller said none of the accusations at issue concerned behavior by the dean himself.
Addressing sexual misconduct became a top priority at USC in May, when The Times revealed that the university had allowed gynecologist George Tyndall to practice on campus for three decades despite complaints to administrators about inappropriate behavior toward female patients.
The Tyndall scandal led to the resignation of President C.L. Max Nikias and the appointment of Austin, a trustee and retired aerospace executive, as interim president. Austin arrived with a mandate to help heal the campus after the scandal and address concerns by students, faculty and alumni that the administration take misconduct allegations more seriously. Within a few months of her August appointment, Austin was focused on Ellis and his school's record on sexual harassment.
Marshall has long been one of the university's most prestigious schools, and during his tenure, Ellis, a marketing professor, was credited with making it an even more competitive program. USC's full-time MBA program was ranked 31st by U.S. News & World Report in 2017 and jumped 11 spots to 20th in the most recent listing. He also raised nearly $500 million for the school, according to his supporters.
To examine the harassment issue, Austin turned to a law firm, Cooley LLP, to investigate and also asked an outside human-resources consultant to weigh in, according to interviews and correspondence with the trustees. Austin and Michael Blanton, the head of USC's new office of professionalism and ethics, then met with Ellis to discuss the law firm's findings, according to the correspondence.
Miller, Ellis' attorney, said the meeting lasted less than 15 minutes, during which Austin informed the dean he had to leave. The attorney said Ellis was never told what he had done wrong and asserted Ellis was "pure as the driven snow" in his conduct.
"To the extent any complaint has ever come to his attention during his 11 years as dean, he's run it down, investigated it and handled it," Miller said.
Austin told him he would be allowed to remain until the end of the spring term and USC would pay out the three years remaining on his dean's contract, according to correspondence from Caruso to trustees. Ellis' annual compensation was $636,000, according to USC's 2017 tax filing. As a tenured professor, Ellis will remain on the business school faculty.
The decision outraged Ellis' supporters, who felt that Austin had overstepped her temporary role.
"Since when is an Interim President given the same unfettered power to make personnel decisions as a permanent President who is selected by a Search Committee after a nationwide search and given a five-year mandate to steer the University?" wrote Greif, the prominent donor and alumnus, in a four-page letter sent Friday to the business school's advisory board.
Miller sent a letter to the 57 voting trustees, a who's who of wealthy and powerful alumni and boosters, arguing that removing Ellis violated the trustees' fiduciary duty to the institution because he had added so much value to the school.
"The question we therefore have is, what's going on at USC? Is Dean Ellis being caught up in some kind of internal political move?" Miller wrote in the Nov. 20 letter.
In yet another letter, a group of more than 100 business leaders that advises the Marshall School urged the full Board of Trustees "to immediately intercede and rescind the Interim President's misguided decision." The group's membership includes prominent alumni and local executives.
Austin said in an interview that she respected Ellis' service to the university, but "I wish Jim had taken a different tack" in fighting his dismissal.
In a statement late Tuesday afternoon, she added, "The commitment we made to our university community to improve our campus culture sometimes requires us to make difficult decisions.
"We understand that there will be those who disagree, but that doesn't mean these aren't the right decisions to move the university forward," Austin wrote.
8:15 p.m. This article was updated with more information about the group of 100 business leaders.

Desventajas: Food tastes horrible. Flight attendant picked her nose at one time right before distributing the drinks and did not wash her hands. You're not given your own canned drink rather a half a cup. Seats are too small/don't look clean. Movie selection was poor. Plane was delayed! Luggage left in Bejing.
Ventajas: Solid crew. Hot food. Pretty smooth.

Q: React/React-Hooks: Need to run a function onLoad within React Hooks component I have a parent component with a function that runs a validation on an email input field and passes that function as a prop down to the child component that actually contains the input field needing validation. Validations are working, the only issue I have now is that the validation doesn't run on load so even when the input field is pre populated with a user email, the validation's default state is set as failing so that a user will have to click into the input field and click out in order to trigger the onBlur function and thus the validation. I'm not sure how to run a function on load using react hooks as I'm still fairly new to using them.

"Tales of Mayan Skies" Planetarium Show
"Tale of the Mayan Skies" is a new Planetarium Show! Is it playing at your local planetarium? According to the website, it is playing at Merida's Planetarium. [Click the link to view the trailer.] It may be a great excuse to visit Merida (as if you need one) soon!
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Chichén Itzá, Mexico, the "seventh wonder of the modern world." Listen to the story of the ancient Maya civilization. Experience Tales of the Maya Skies.
With unprecedented realism Tales of the Maya Skiesimmerses us in Maya science, art and mythology, using full dome digital technology to transport us back into the world of the Maya.
Produced by Chabot Space & Science Center, Tales of the Maya Skies inspires and educates through its description of the Maya's accurate astronomical achievements and how astronomy connected them to the Universe.
Grammy Award winner and Oscar nominee, Lila Downs, narrates, as Tales of the Maya Skies brings us back to the ancient jungles of Mexico, where the Maya built cities and temples aligned to movements of the Sun, Moon and planets. Over many years they observed and documented astronomical events with great accuracy.
The Maya made sense of an ever-changing world by observing, recording and predicting natural events such as solstices, solar eclipses, weather patterns, and planetary movements. These observations, in combination with a sophisticated mathematical system, allowed them to develop a precise calendar system; their measurements of the length of the solar year were more accurate than measurements the Europeans used as the basis of the Gregorian calendar. The Maya also predicted eclipses, were able to forecast seasonal change and developed the concept of mathematical zero, enabling them to predict events into the future.
Tales of the Maya Skies weaves together this rich combination of science, culture, and legend, immersing viewers in the sounds and sights of an ancient way of life.
Recent deciphering of the Maya hieroglyphics is providing archeologists with new and exciting discoveries. Using three dimensional laser scanning and advanced graphic techniques, the virtual reconstruction of architecture in Tales of the Maya Skies also supports these archeologists in interpreting the ancient sites, and contributes to their conservation.
Funding for the production of Tales of the Maya Skies was provided by the National Science Foundation and the Instituto Politécnico Nacional. It is the first full-dome digital show highlighting a Latin American culture, and Spanish language narration is available.
Tales of the Maya Skies will show in planetariums in the United States, Latin America and around the world.

I fulfilled my dream of moving to Mexico in 1996. Growing up in Texas, I was always attracted to Mexico which was only a short drive away. The music, the food, the language, all were things I desired to know more about.
Shortly after settling into Playa del Carmen, I began selling real estate. I have sold property up and down the coast from the Riviera Maya to the Costa Maya and Bacalar.
Apart from the business of real estate, I've been active in the Mexican Association of Real Estate (AMPI) for many years serving in various positions locally. My terms as President for the real estate board included the Riviera Maya board and the more recently formed Playa del Carmen board. Additionally, I served as Regional Coordinator and as an advisory board member at a national level for the real estate association.

Water Quality Standards Rule and Air Quality Rules: Public Hearings and Comment Periods
West Virginia Environmental Council Action Alert
June 27, 2014 WVEC Alerts Archive
Water Quality Standards Rule and Air Quality Rules
Public Hearings and Comment Periods
Public Hearing on Water Quality Standards Rule
July 1, 6:00 P.M. at DEP Headquarters, Coopers Rock Room, 601 57th Street SE, Charleston WV 25304.
Public Comment Period Ends July 21.
The WV Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Water and Waste Management is conducting a public hearing and comment period on its proposed rule to revise Legislative Rule 47CSR2, "Requirements Governing Water Quality Standards."
DEP is proposing two site specific revisions to the rule important to the Kanawha River: (1) removal of the Water Use Category A exemption for the Kanawha River main stem, Zone 1; and (2) addition of a copper water effect ratio (WER) for the Charleston Sanitary Board (CSB) wastewater treatment plant discharge to the Kanawha River.
Background: Years ago, a portion of the Kanawha River was exempted from Clean Water Act protections for the Category A/Public Water Supply use. Category A describes waters which, after conventional treatment, are used for human consumption (drinking water).
The exemption means that dischargers to the Kanawha River and its tributaries are not being held accountable to ensure that the river is clean enough to serve as a raw water intake for a public water system.
DEP is now proposing to remove this exemption and to treat the Kanawha River like it treats all other waters in West Virginia. The likely impact of the change is that, over time, water pollution control permits for chemical plants and other dischargers may need to be strengthened to ensure that strict Category A standards are met in the Kanawha River.
Additional field monitoring will be required in the Kanawha River to determine whether Category A standards are being met. If the river proves to be sufficiently clean, then one outcome may be for West Virginia American Water to propose a secondary intake in the Kanawha River, which could be used if the primary intake in the Elk River were to become contaminated again.
We strongly support this change and urge you to tell DEP that you also support it.
The public hearing is the first opportunity for citizens to offer oral comments on a proposed rule affecting the Kanawha River. Written comments may be submitted to DEP through 5:00 P.M., July 21.
Written comments may be submitted to the following address:
Kevin R Coyne
Water Quality Standards Program
WV Department of Environmental Protection
601 57th St., S.E.
Comments also may be e-mailed to dep.comments@wv.gov. A copy of the proposed rule is available at http://www.dep.wv.gov/pio/Pages/Rules.aspx.
Public Hearing and Comment Period on Proposed Air Quality Rules
July 7, 6:00 P.M. at DEP Headquarters, Dolly Sods Conference Room, 601 57th Street SE, Charleston WV 25304.
The WV DEP Division of Air Quality has scheduled a public hearing on July 7, 2014 for its 2015 proposed legislative rules. The public comment period will end at the conclusion of the public hearing.
Division of Air Quality Proposed Rule Changes:
45CSR14 – Permits for Construction and Major Modification of Major Stationary
Sources for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality
45CSR16 – Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources
45CSR25 – Control of Air Pollution from Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and
45CSR30 – Requirements for Operating Permits
45CSR34 – Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
Copies of the proposed rule changes are available at http://www.dep.wv.gov/pio/Pages/Rules.aspx.
Written comments may be submitted to the DEP Public Information Office, 601 57th St., S.E., Charleston, WV 25304. Comments may also be e-mailed to:

WV DEP Holding Two Public Meetings on Union Carbide Ethylene Oxide Permit


So you're just about set for your draft. You've ranked players. You've jotted down some sleepers. You've even oh-so-carefully suggested to your significant other that, hey, it might be a good idea to get out of the house for a while this weekend, say, around the hours that just so happen to coincide with the time you'll be selecting various real players to populate your fake team with the most clever nickname in all the land.
But before you make any final decisions about outfielders, here are a few strategies to consider. Keep in mind that this applies primarily to very deep mixed leagues, or better yet, AL- and NL-only versions with a minimum of five starting outfielders. In other words, when you're not going to be able to fill out your roster with Ryan Braun, Carlos Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Hamilton and Matt Holliday, one or two of these ideas may help you do more with less. After all, unlike most other offensive positions where you only start one player (or occasionally two), there's a little more room to play with when it comes to mapping out your outfield.
If you can't get the best all-around outfielders, get those who thrive when it comes to hitting right-handed or left-handed pitchers. Splits like this may be well-known, but often they're cited as a reason not to draft a player (i.e. "Ryan Howard isn't a first-rounder because he has a career .766 OPS against lefties"). However, a player who performs better than his overall line whenever he faces a particular handed pitcher can be sneaky useful. Best to target those who mash right-handed pitchers, who are nearly three time more likely to start than lefties, since those hitters, by default, will get more opportunities to inflict damage—or if they're in a platoon situation, they'll net more plate appearances. For example, Luke Scott kills righties to the tune of a .550 slugging percentage and 20 bombs since 2008, and Jason Kubel is right behind him with 19 four-baggers. As for the other side: Cody Ross owns lefties, with a .575 slugging percentage and 28 homers, second-most in baseball among outfielders over the past three seasons, while Ryan Raburn's 22 home runs against southpaws is the fifth-highest total. These guys are readily available later in drafts, and if properly employed by a matchup-hawking owner, they will pay off.
Since it's unlikely you'll come out of the draft with your five starting outfield spots filled by actual starting outfielders, it helps to pinpoint which real-life fourth outfielders are best. In fact, there are plenty of No. 4s who are better—and cheaper—options than starters. It's not worth going after Michael Saunders or Carlos Gomez simply because they're expected to start, when David Murphy or Eric Hinske are still available. What's more, you won't have to sweat worse production over more at-bats, which only hurts your rate stats even more. And obviously, it helps to aim for outfielders who back up injury-prone starters. On a related note, if you can corner the market on a team's outfield position, especially one where the backup has upside, it helps to know you've got things covered in case the starter slumps or gets injured. Say, handcuffing Ryan Kalish to J.D. Drew or Chris Heisey to Jonny Gomes.
When two outfielders are stuck in a platoon, they both tend to get ignored in favor of a player who has the job all to himself. After all, opportunity can be just as important as talent when it comes to fantasy. But consider this batting line from the 2010 season: .262 average with 27 homers, 91 RBIs and 96 runs. So what if it was compiled by two players rather than one? You're really just going to ignore a contribution that's the equivalent of a No. 2 fantasy outfielder's output because Seth Smith and Ryan Spilborghs couldn't put up those numbers by themselves? Didn't think so.
Before drafting, you should have an idea of what stats you want out of your starting outfield. In other words, consider your outfield as its own collective unit. If you're starting five, let's say the expected total stat line looks like this: .280 average, 100 home runs, 350 RBIs, 350 runs and 100 steals. That way, you know what to shoot for as the draft progresses. Don't freak out if someone else takes Jacoby Ellsbury and the 60 steals you have him down for early on; Rajai Davis' steals will be available a couple rounds later, but in the meantime, focus on grabbing another outfielder (think: Denard Span) who will fill the gap between those two in the runs category, where Davis lags behind. And don't be afraid to take a low-average power bat that can help you approach your 100 homers, like Carlos Lee, because you can still push back toward that .280 target by remembering to snag Marlon Byrd.

Stop by Profootballhof.com each week leading up to Bob and Randy's interview. We'll take a look back at that week's featured Hall of Famer and recount his enshrinement day. The Hall's research staff will also dig into the archives and hone in on events that helped the shape the careers of these Hall of Fame legends.
Flanked by dozens of the game's greatest players and coaches, former Washington Redskins wide receiver Art Monk took center stage in Canton last August. The man who was once held the NFL record for career catches walked to the podium in Fawcett Stadium to earn his rightful place among the game's all-time greatest players, coaches, and contributors.
What soon followed had never before been seen in Canton and will certainly not be forgotten. As the legendary wide receiver stepped up to the microphone to humbly accept his enshrinement into the Hall of Fame, legions of Redskins fans rose to their feet and provided a thunderous ovation.
Monk took a step back to compose himself before he again attempted to speak. The roar of the crowd raged louder. The ovation lasted nearly five minutes before Monk began his speech.
It truly will go down as one of the most emotional scenes ever experienced at a Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony.
In 1984, wide receiver Art Monk of the Washington Redskins shattered the long-standing record for receptions in a single season. That year he caught an amazing 106 passes for a career-high 1,372 yards and scored 7 touchdowns to eclipse the 101 receptions recorded by Houston's Charley Hennigan in 1964.
The ball caught by Art Monk on Oct. 12, 1992 when he eclipsed the mark for career receptions previously held by Steve Largent.
It began a string of three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons for Monk who became the first player in Redskins history to achieve such a feat. He also became the first Redskins player to catch 70 or more passes in three straight seasons.
Soon after making history, the Pro Football Hall of Famer received the jersey he wore during the record-setting 1984 season and the football he caught to set the single-season mark.
Eight years later on October 12, 1992, Monk became the NFL's all-time leading receiver when he made his 820th career catch. The football he caught for that milestone also found a home in Canton.
Monk finished his Hall of Fame career with 940 receptions which today ranks him eighth all-time in career catches.
Monk also had 10 catches for 122 yards in the playoff game against the Chicago Bears that season.

Wild Hogs Damage Sebastian Golf Course Greens
Most days IGM Golf Course Superintendent Sean Gillen would tell you that the biggest scars on his greens at Sebastian Municipal Golf Course are from unfixed ball marks. Ball marks are nothing in comparison to the damage done recently by the foraging of wild hogs.
They've hit us hard on the greens," said Sean. "They rooted up about 300 square feet of turf, causing complete devastation."
Gillen said it's the first time in 15 years he's seen wild pigs cause this type of damage to a golf course."It's an extremely uncommon occurrence. There's always been evidence that they're in other areas of the course, but they haven't bothered the turf before."
The IGM staff has put in more than 40 man-hours trying to restore the turf, placing pieces of turf back down like putting together a puzzle. Many more hours will be spent ensuring that the turf survives and is restored to the level expected on an IGM maintained property.
For more information on IGM and the professional golf course services offered, please contact the IGM Business Development Office at 800-413-5500 or on the web at http://www.igminc.net/.

Former X Factor winner Matt Cardle says drug addiction nearly killed him

Former X Factor favourite Matt Cardle has spoken about his battle with drug addiction that almost ended his life, after describing his 'fall from grace'.
Matt, 34, won the reality music show back in 2010 but within a few short years his life began downward-spiraling, when Sony dropped him from its label in 2012.
It began after the star innocuously injured his finger and became hooked on the painkiller Tramadol – otherwise known as 'Hillbilly Crack'.
'I wasn't that injured, I didn't really need it. I started eating Tramadol for fun if I'm honest,' he told the Sun.
Asked whether there were any times he came close to death, the singer shockingly revealed there were plenty: 'There were a number of them,' he claims. 'I didn't realise because a lot of it was on my own. I would wake up in various parts of my flat, in the toilet, in my bedroom, on the bed, off the bed, in the lounge, and it would always be like, "Oh that's where it ended".'

Matt spoke about the dangers of taking the powerful drug and how it's very easy to never wake up after overdosing on it: 'If you were on your own and you're completely smashed and you've taken one or two too many, you won't wake up, it'll stop your heart and that's it. So it was getting to that point for me without knowing it.'
The When We Collide singer also admitted how he began taking potentially dangerous concoctions of valium and alcohol. '…the first time I did Valium was on a flight to LA and that was it.'
'Valium and alcohol are lethal together anyway. It's a muscle relaxant and your heart's a muscle,' he says about the mixtures he was experimenting with.
However, things got worse when the performer got into a physical altercation with his drug dealer in 2013, at the Jingle Bell Ball in Belfast. 'I was completely addicted,' he said, which was the point that even his dealer tried to step in and help him. '"You're never having any more of them off me",' Cardle recalled the dealer saying; who then contacted the star's brother over his alleged concern.
He remembers the physical state he was in when trying to score drugs off said dealer, who flat-out refused to give him any more. 'I came and met him and he just saw the state I was in because I didn't have any and then he went, "No, I'm not going to give them to you".'

Currently, Cardle is working hard on his music career and announced a new album four years ago. At the tail-end of 2017 Cardle revealed that Sony had actually resigned him. He's now clean and preparing to release a fourth studio album, Time To Be Alive, which is out on 27 April.
The X Factor winner was a huge success on the show after getting over 44% of the final's public vote. He went on to comfortably get the Christmas Number 1 spot and stayed at the top of the charts for three weeks with the Biffy Clyro cover.

China's most sophisticated system of computational astronomy was created for a Mongol emperor who could neither read nor write Chinese, to celebrate victory over China after forty years of devastating war. This book explains how and why, and reconstructs the observatory and the science that made it possible.
For two thousand years, a fundamental ritual of government was the emperor's "granting the seasons" to his people at the New Year by issuing an almanac containing an accurate lunisolar calendar. The high point of this tradition was the "Season-granting system" (Shou-shih li, 1280). Its treatise records detailed instructions for computing eclipses of the sun and moon and motions of the planets, based on a rich archive of observations, some ancient and some new.
Sivin, the West's leading scholar of the Chinese sciences, not only recreates the project's cultural, political, bureaucratic, and personal dimensions, but translates the extensive treatise and explains every procedure in minimally technical language. The book contains many tables, illustrations, and aids to reference. It is clearly written for anyone who wants to understand the fundamental role of science in Chinese history. There is no comparable study of state science in any other early civilization.


Natta is delighted to announce that we have been appointed to VIVID Housing Association's Contractors Framework.
Earlier in the year, Natta was one of the several bidders who tendered for the inclusion on the Contractors Framework Agreement.
The tender process required organisations to demonstrate their track record for delivering a fully constructed design and build housing scheme. The process covered the range of both pre-construction, on-site construction and complete aftercare services.
We are now one of nineteen contractors and developers who has successfully been awarded a place on the VIVID Framework. The Framework is expected to run until 2022.
VIVID is a newly launched housing association formed from the merger of First Wessex and Sentinel Housing Association. They are a registered provider and the largest housing association in Hampshire. Currently, they are managing around 30,000 homes and services and have over 1,000 members of staff.
With a strong commitment to the community, they endeavour to build more affordable homes to all. So far they have built 749 homes between 2017 and 2018 with more to come. Like Natta, they are committed to tackling the challenge of rising homelessness. According to Vivid, in Hampshire alone, last year there were more than 930 households in temporary accommodation at any one time.
We look forward to working with VIVID to meet their targets of delivering 1,200 new homes over the coming 4 years.

Home » Economic Policy » Ignore the IMF: There's no reason for its ludicrous forecasts to change sentiment
Posted by Paul on July 19, 2013 in Economic Policy, Economic Theory, Financial Crisis, GDP, Inflation, Recession | 0 comments
The economics department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is up to its old tricks again – changing its mind.
Just three months ago, the team cut its forecast for UK GDP growth in 2013 to 0.7 per cent from 1 per cent, sparking charges that George Osborne should alter his policies. Last week, the IMF forecast was lifted to 0.9 per cent, accompanied by a great deal of comment that the chancellor seems to be on the right track.
The IMF itself said that "the UK economy is moving from rescue to recovery". The psychological impact of statements such as this can be considerable. Macroeconomic policy in the modern world is much more about influencing sentiment than it is about the traditional policy tools in the economics textbooks.
But from a scientific perspective, how significant are the changes to the IMF's UK growth projections for this year? First it was 1 per cent, then 0.7, and now 0.9. The numbers are obviously different. But at the same time, they are effectively the same. A depressing feature of economic commentary is the importance placed on trivially small changes such as these.
We see similar reactions when the Office for National Statistics (ONS) changes its estimates of GDP growth in the recent past, even by just one tenth of 1 per cent. In reality, the potential measurement errors around any single measurement of annual GDP growth are as much as a whole percentage point either side. An estimate of 1 per cent could in reality mean anything between zero and 2 per cent. We see this in the size of the historical revisions which are made to growth rates by the ONS over time. Admittedly, revisions of a full percentage point are unusual, but they are by no means unheard of. Revisions on the scale of the changes to the IMF forecasts, from 0.7 to 0.9 per cent for example, happen all the time. This is not a result of incompetence at the ONS. It is an inherent part of how estimates of the size of the economy are put together.
We cannot put the economy on a pair of scales and weigh it. Instead, national statistical bodies around the world gather information from a wide variety of sources to estimate what is going on. Income tax and VAT data tell us a lot about personal incomes and spending. But self-employment income, for example, is only reported to HMRC with a considerable time lag. So in the first instance it has to be estimated. None of this detracts from the fact that it is time to call it a day on economics at the IMF. Its forecasts are usually wrong, often ludicrously so, as this column has documented previously. IMF models give wildly different estimates of the effects of increased public expenditure, for instance, depending on which version you look at.
Withholding the UK's contribution to IMF economics would only be a small cut in public spending, but it would be perfectly formed.

Advancing epilepsy treatment
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have successfully prevented epileptic seizures in animal models by preemptively directing a low-frequency stimulus to the nerve fibers in the brain.
That technique differs substantially from current human therapies recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in which doctors now employ a much higher frequency directly into brain tissue and sometimes only after a seizure has started.
Those methods, while an alternative to previous treatments in which brain tissue is surgically removed, still only reduce seizures by about 50% and in just about half of the patients treated, said researcher Dominique Durand, the Elmer Lincoln Lindseth Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve and director of its Neural Engineering Center.
But Durand and Ph.D. student Nick Couturier have demonstrated a success rate of more than 90% in animal testing—and by a method that works before a seizure even occurs.
"So the state-of-the-art right now is not so great, in my opinion," Durand said. "There have been some success stories, yes, but our lab has developed a new way of thinking about this that no one else is really looking at."
A new approach
Durand and Couturier's work differs from the norm in two critical ways: They direct a lower frequency stimulus into the brain—and they target what are known as white matter tracts (axons), not gray matter (the brain tissue).
But this new way of preventing a seizure—a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain—by actually exciting axons may seem counterintuitive, Durand said.
"We stimulate a fiber track, a bunch of axons, at a frequency of about 10 to 20 Hertz," he said. "You would think that this method would stimulate everything else and make it worse, but that is not what happens. Instead, it can prevent a seizure from even happening."
This phenomenon—low-frequency stimulation of the axons producing long-lasting inhibition of neural firing—had first been observed by Stanford University neurologist Sheela Toprani a few years ago when she was a student in Durand's lab.
Although likely years from human trials and certainly from mainstream use, the advance is still exciting, Couturier said.
