Q: Demonstrating the image of the inverse image of a subset I need to demonstrate the following:
Let $E, F$ be sets, $Y \subset F$ and $f : E\longrightarrow F$.
Prove that $f(f^{-1}(Y)) = Y \cap f(E)$
I tried do prove that using double inclusion with multiple techniques, such as direct & inverse image properties, or using cardinals, but I'm always stuck at some point.
Some of my research, if that can help you (sorry for the french I hope you still understand) :

(don't pay attention to the last line of the right side, I know it's false)

A: Okay, let us look at the first part- to prove that f(inv(f(Y))) C (Y int f(E)).
Let x belong to f(inv(f(Y))), then there exists an e in inv(f(Y)) such that x= f(e), but that implies that there exists a t in Y such that e = inv(f(t)), so f(e) = t = x, but since t is in Y, and t=x, x is in Y ... (1)
Now, since x = t = f(e), and e is in inv(f(Y)) C E, e is in E, and x = f(e), so x is in f(E) ... (2)
Thus, x is in Y and f(E), from (1) and (2), so we have x is in (Y int f(E)), so we have f(inv(f(Y))) C (Y int f(E)) ... [A]
Now, we prove that (Y int f(E)) C f(inv(f(Y))). Now, let p be in (Y int f(E)), so there exists an e in E such that p = f(e) and p is in Y, and since p is in Y, inv(f(p)) is in inv(f(Y)), so e is in inv(f(Y)), so e = inv(f(p)), so f(e) = f(inv(f(p))), so f(e) is in f(inv(f(Y))), so p = f(e) is in f(inv(f(Y))). Thus, we have (Y int f(E)) C f(inv(f(Y))) ... [B]
From [A] and [B], we have f(inv(f(Y))) = (Y int f(E)), and hence, we are done.

A: If $Y \subset F$ and $f : E \to F$,
then $f(f^{-1}(Y)) = Y \cap f(E)$
\begin{align}
   y \in f(f^{-1}(Y))
   &\implies \exists x \in f^{-1}(Y),\, y = f(x)\\
   &\implies (x \in E) \wedge (f(x) \in Y)\\
   &\implies f(x) \in Y \cap f(E)\\
   &\implies y \in Y \cap f(E)\\
\end{align}
So $f(f^{-1}(Y)) \subseteq Y \cap f(E)$
\begin{align}
   y \in Y \cap f(E)
  &\implies (y \in Y) \land (y\in f(E))\\
  &\implies (y \in Y) \land (\exists x \in E,\, y=f(x))\\
  &\implies \exists x \in E,\, x \in f^{-1}(y)\\
  &\implies y \in f(f^{-1}(y))\\
\end{align}
So $Y \cap f(E) \subseteq f(f^{-1}(Y))$.

Iraqi Women Shackled by Archaic Personal Status Laws
Zainab Al Mshat
Iraqi Journalist
In case of adultery, Iraqi judges will be satisfied with a phone message or voice call as evidence of a wife's betrayal. Yet, when the husband is concerned, they require the wife to produce four witnesses ...
How would you feel if you woke up one day to the sound of knocking on your door, only to find out that your husband had sold your house, and that you're being asked to leave immediately?
This is Hutham Hassan's story, who, alongside her children, was ousted onto the streets by her husband. He sold their house, married another woman, and moved to Iran in 2007. After a 20-year-long marriage, Hutham had made the mistake of granting her husband a general power of attorney to legally manage her financial affairs.
"He sold all my property to himself using the power of attorney, and ran away with another woman," Hutham tells Daraj. "He was confident that I would not be able to take my rights as a divorcee if I filed for divorce."
"I got married at the age of 20 to a man from the Shiite community," Hutham continues. "At that time his beliefs were communist, and he was indifferent to religions and sects. He married me although I was Sunni. Three years into our marriage, riddled with obstacles and financial troubles, we moved to my family home, where he was treated with respect and kindness; my father treated him like a son."
For the rest of their marriage, Hutham and her husband remained in her family's home. After the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime and the arrival of her husband's family to Iraq, their relationship changed.
"With the fall of Saddam, Shiite extremism began to appear within my husband's family," Hutham explains. "He became religious and sectarian, and in every family gathering, his family would fuel him against Sunnis. They would provoke him in front of me, urging him to marry a second wife, sometimes jokingly, but other times very seriously."
After the death of her parents, Hutham was surprised that she had fallen victim to her trust in her husband. "My husband disappeared, he left me in the street with three children," she tells Daraj. "I thought about divorcing him, but he told me that I would not get anything if I file for divorce. He would tell me: 'I will tell the court that I'm unemployed, and that all I provide you with is 750 Iraqi dinars every month, equivalent to only half an American dollar!'"
Later, Hutham found out that her husband had taken a second wife, and settled in Iran. She did not ask for divorce. "The law will not do me any justice, because of the corruption of the judiciary system and the lawyers," she explains. "I also feared society would judge me, a divorcee at my age, or that my daughters would remain single because their mother was divorced."
Hutham married according to Hanafi religious laws, which state that "a woman receives her rights from her second dowry, and her alimony is decided after the divorce." This is in contrast to what the Jaafari law adopted in the Shiite community, which states that "a woman has the right to claim the second dowry during marriage, and the husband must pay it off within three years of the woman's demand of it," according to Judge Hadi Aziz.
Civil and Religious Conflicts
"The enactment of some paragraphs in the Personal Status Law, meaning Article 41, which stipulates that an Iraqi is free in his personal status, has in turn affected Article 14 of the Constitution, which states that Iraqis are equal in rights and duties," Human rights lawyer, Tariq Aziz explains to Daraj. "Article 41 provides for different accountability between members of different sects, inconsistent with the principle of equality between citizens in the constitution."
Many believe that the religious state project began in Iraq after the US invasion in 2003. Personal status laws, although they have not been subject to any amendments since 1959, are in their texts more civil than their later proposed amendments. An extreme example of this was when child marriage was legalized, what was described at the time as an amendment with an "ISIS flavor". Fortunately for Iraqi women, the "ISIS" amendments did not pass in Parliament. Regardless, personal status laws remained as though stuck in 1959, and are in need of major updates to keep up with the times, to secure gender justice and to protect women and children.
The law is considered a permanent source of conflict between Islamists and civil rights and feminist human rights organizations within the Parliament. A proposal for a civil personal status law in 2006, which was submitted by a group of women's organizations, as well as a proposal for the Jaafari Civil Status Law in 2013 submitted by the "Al-Fadhila" bloc were rejected. A similar proposal made by MP Hamid Al-Khudary from the "Citizen Bloc" in 2018 was also rejected.
Civil society organizations believe that Iraq is bound by the CEDAW agreement, which provides for the protection of the rights of all women. "We do not want the Iraqi government to change the Personal Status Law, in light of an unstable security and political situation, and within the presence of these representatives who view civil decisions in a purely Islamic way," says Amal Kabbashi, a member of the "Iraqi Women's Network and a prominent women's rights activist.
There are many loopholes in the laws, but the biggest obstacle is with the activation of the articles of the law, as well as with the methods of implementing it.
"These loopholes are not effective and are inconsistent with the reality of women's rights," Kabbashi explains. "This is in addition to the fact that the biggest problem lies in the bias of judges for men at the expense of women."
No Equality in "Infidelity"
"I went back to my house, to find him in my bed with another woman," Rand (29) tells "Daraj". Her husband physically attacked her after they had had a long quarrel. As a result, his wife, Rand, took her daughter and left the house. Her husband did not try to apologize or show remorse for his actions.
"He did not regret anything, nor did he try to fix the situation between us," Rand continues. "On the contrary, he told me that he wanted to be saved from me and his daughter, but he would not get a divorce. Our daughter was about one year old and only two and a half years had passed since our marriage."
Rand filed a lawsuit in court, demanding alimony for her and her daughter, but she did not get it, because her husband was able to prove through some witnesses that he was not employed. Therefore, the court ruled that she would get a symbolic alimony, equivalent to $50 a month. The wife filed another lawsuit to demand their separation, the reason being infidelity, "but the judge requested four witnesses from my side, to prove that my husband was with another woman in our marital bed."
The condition appears surreal, yet it is incredibly prevalent in Iraqi personal status laws. Supposedly, each of the spouses is punished by imprisonment for a period of no less than five years in the event that either of them commits "adultery" in the marital bed, according to Article 377 of the Personal Status Law, however there is a requirement of four witnesses to testify that the adultery took place. The text of the article is clear and explicit and applies equally to husband and wife.
"But lawmakers and judges in Iraq will be satisfied with a phone message or voice call, as evidence of the wife's betrayal," explains lawyer Ali Salam. "But in the event of the husband's betrayal, they apply the incurable condition stipulated in Article 377,which is the availability of four witnesses confirming the husband's adultery."
After a tiresome battle, Rand was able to get a divorce; after she was forced to pay bribes to the judges and a high lawyer fee. The verdict was an alimony not exceeding thirty dollars a month in return for her "freedom". Women are constantly failing to obtain their rights in court, even with cases of marital infidelity in Iraq.
"In our society, men are not stigmatized, and the legal system has come to regard the act of infidelity as "a cancer" due to its exacerbation and spread," Ali continues. "Iraqi society condemns married women way more often than married men; and shame is brought to the accused's family and/or tribe."
Infidelity in the Man's Favor
Shamiran (30), a Christian woman from Iraq, got married at the age of seventeen. "I was not really aware at the time, my family's circumstances were very difficult," Shamiran, who only gave her first name, tells Daraj. After getting married, Shamiran faced many marital problems, which neither her family nor her husband's family helped with. After having her first child, Shamiran separated from her husband after less than two years together. She did not, however, obtain a formal divorce.
"My husband changed his religion. He converted to Islam and married a second woman four years after our separation," Shamiran explains. "That is why I decided to file a divorce complaint against him, but the lawyers I hired abandoned my case because I could not pay them. After four long years, and waiving all my rights, the court gave me my divorce."Her husband left the country, immigrating without relinquishing his son's guardianship.
"My son remained under his guardianship, and so we could not live a comfortable life," she continues. "I have no right to take my son and travel with him outside Iraq, because he needs permission from his father 'the guardian'. Therefore, I am obliged to wait until my son reaches the legal age (15), to be able to travel with him without obtaining his father's approval."
"The legislator allowed minors to marry in court, with the consent of their parents, and thus the marriage of minors became legal without any problem or accountability, and this is unfortunately a legislative loophole."
Shamiran's story is similar to the stories of many women who, likewise, suffer from the patriarchal nature of Iraqi law, in its approach to the logic of guardianship."One of the most difficult and complicated cases is when the father leaves his wife or divorces her and leaves her with his son, while maintaining the guardianship," Salam explains. "The mother cannot travel with her son without the guardian's approval. In this case, the woman has to demand guardianship in court."
Claiming guardianship in court, as a woman, can take years, according to Salam.
"Such cases require correspondence between Iraq and the embassies of the countries to which the husband has immigrated, and then the Iraqi embassy addresses the husband and discusses with him the reasons for his emigration. Then they make an attempt for him to give consent for his son to travel with his mother, a process to determine whether the father has abandoned his responsibility towards his son, in order to move the guardianship from him and grant it to the mother. This is in case the husband's whereabouts are known. In other cases, the husbands disappear, and here the issue becomes complicated as the woman needs a guardian's approval for her son's affairs with every step, such as schooling, social security, and travel. If the father cannot be located, the process will take even longer, to allocate witnesses, and to complete an investigation to prove the father's abandonment, during which the mother will remain completely helpless until the long procedures are completed."
As we mentioned at the beginning of this investigative piece, Article 41 of the Personal Status Law has a religious, sectarian and tribal pretext. It states that "Iraqis are free with their personal status" regardless of their religion, sect or tribe. However, the interpretation of this particular article allows, for example, for a man who belongs to the Jaafari sect to marry an underaged girl of 15, without this being considered a crime. According to the Hanafi sect however, this same act is punishable by imprisonment.
"Iraqi civil law sets the legal age of marriage at 19, but despite that, the personal status laws of the sects violate those civil laws," explains Judge Aziz.
Lawmakers in Iraq, were able to (deceptively) find a compromise between civil law and sectarian personal status laws. "The legislator allowed minors to marry in court, with the consent of their guardian, and thus the marriage of minors became legal without any obstacles or accountability, unfortunately this is a legislative loophole," Judge Aziz continues.
"According to the Shiites, verbal divorce, which occurs as a result of nervous emotion, is not taken into law." Therefore, divorce "should not take place outside the boundaries of the court. Here the judge and the government appointed social workers who play a role in attempting to reconcile the couple, and to give them a chance to solve their problems."
Article 57 of the Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959 stipulates that the mother should be given the right to custody and the right to raise the child after separation, unless the child is harmed otherwise; this is provided that the child has the choice regarding custody when he reaches the legal age of fifteen. This may be the only article that is explicitly fair to women in Iraqi laws, but still, in most cases it is not implemented and judges do not rule by it to provide justice to women.

El huangjiu es un tipo de bebida alcohólica china elaborada a partir de grano de arroz, mijo o trigo. A diferencia del baijiu no son licores destilados, conteniendo menos de un 20% de alcohol, inclusive del 4 al 8%, debido a la inhibición de la fermentación por el etanol a esa concentración. Estos vinos son tradicionalmente pasteurizados, envejecidos y filtrados antes de su embotellamiento final para su puesta a la venta. Los diversos estilos de huangjiu pueden variar en color de claro a beis, marrón amarillento o marrón rojizo.

El huangjiu se bebe directamente tras enfriarse o calentarse, o se usa en cocina.

Se produce principalmente en la China continental y Taiwán.

Clasificaciones

Los vinos fermentados chinos se clasifican según diversos factores, entre los que están su sequedad, el iniciador usado en su producción, y su proceso de elaboración.

Sequedad/dulzor

Esta es la clasificación formal para todos los vinos chinos. Hay cinco categorías: seco, semiseco, semidulce, dulce y extradulce:

 Seco (gan, 干): con un contenido en azúcar no superior al 1%. Este tipo de vino amarillo tiene la menor temperatura de fermentación. Un ejemplo es el yuanhongjiu (元红酒, literalmente 'vino rojo campeón'), una especialidad de Shaoxing, llamada así porque los recipientes tradicionales se pintan de rojo.
 Semiseco (ban gan, 半干): con un contenido en azúcar del 1 al 3%. Este tipo de huangjiu puede conservarse durante mucho tiempo y engloba la mayoría de variedades que se exportan de China. Un ejemplo es el jiafanjiu (加饭酒, literalmente 'vino con arroz añadido'), una variante del yuanhongjiu que implica añadir más arroz durante la fermentación. El jiafanjiu se usa tradicionalmente en ceremonias tales como los nacimientos, compromisos y funerales.
 Semidulce (ban tian, 半甜): con un contenido en azúcar del 3 al 10%. Cuando más se almacene un huangjiu semidulce, más se oscurecerá. Esta variedad no puede conservarse demasiado tiempo. Un ejemplo es el shanniangjiu (善酿酒, literalmente 'vino mejor hecho'), una especialidad de Shaoxing que usa parte de yuanhongjiu envejecido en vez de agua.
 Dulce (tian, 甜): con un contenido en azúcar del 10 al 20%. Un ejemplo es el feng gang jiu (封缸酒, literalmente 'vino oculto en jarra de barro'). Comparado con los tipos anteriores, el huangjiu dulce puede fabricarse todo el año según los métodos de producción tradicionales.
 Extradulce (nong tian, 浓甜): con un contenido en azúcar igual o superior al 20%. Un ejemplo de esta variedad es el xiang xue jiu (香雪酒, literalmente 'vino nieve fragante').

Iniciador

 Iniciador pequeño (小麴, 小曲; pinyin: xiǎo qū): Vinos inoculados usando arroz cultivado con Rhizopus, levadura y otros microorganismos. La mezcla genera menos calor, porque se usa principalmente en el sur tropical de China.
 Iniciador grande (酒麴, 酒曲; pinyin: jiǔ qū): Vinos inoculados usando arroz cultivado con Aspergillus oryzae y levadura. Casi todas las bebidas alcohólicas populares en China pertenecen a este tipo.
 Iniciador rojo (紅麴, 红曲; pinyin: hóng qū): Vinos que se aromatizan y colorean con Monascus purpureus u otros mohos de arroz rojos del género Monascus.

Método de producción

 Arroz caliente (燙飯; pinyin: tàng fàn): El arroz al vapor usado para hacer el vino se enfría al aire hasta que solo está templado antes de procesarlo.
 Arroz frío (凉飯; pinyin: liáng fàn): El arroz al vapor usado para hacer el vino es pasado por agua fría antes de procesarlo. El puré sin filtrar para este vino se come a veces como postre o se usa como iniciador para otros vinos.
 Arroz añadido (加飯 o 餵飯; pinyin: jiā fàn o wèi fàn): Se añade continuamente arroz al vapor a la mezcla en fermentación (hasta tres veces), obteniendo un vino más dulce.
 Fortificado: Se añaden vinos destilados al puré en fermentación, incrementando la cantidad de alcohol y deteniendo el proceso. Esto deja un cantidad importante de azúcar sin fermentar, produciendo un vino especialmente dulce.

Tipos

Algunos de los licores amarillos más populares son:

 Mijiu (米酒; pinyin: mǐjiǔ) es el nombre genérico para el vino de arroz fermentado chino, parecido al sake japonés. Suele ser claro y se usa tanto para beberlo como en cocina. El mijiu destinado a la cocina contiene a menudo un 1,5% de sal. El contenido en alcohol por volumen es de 12–19,5%.
 Vino de arroz glutinoso de Fujian (福建糯米酒; pinyin: Fújiàn nuòmǐ jiǔ): elaborado añadiendo una larga lista de caras hierbas medicinales chinas a un vino de arroz glutinoso con bajo contenido alcohólico. Esta técnica de producción única emplea otro vino como materia prima, en lugar de empezar con agua. El producto final tiene un color rojo anaranjado y un contenido alcohólico del 18%.
 Huadiao jiu (花雕酒; pinyin: huādiāo jiǔ, literalmente 'vino de escultura florida'), también llamado nu'er hong (女儿红; pinyin: nǚ'ér hóng, literalmente 'hija roja'): una variedad de huangjiu originaria de Shaoxing, en la  provincia de la costa este de Zhejiang. Se hace con arroz glutinoso y trigo. Este vino evolucionó de la tradición de Shaoxing de enterrar nu'er hong cuando nacía una hija, desenterrándolo cuando ésta iba a casarse. Los recipientes se decoraban con colores brillantes como regalo de bodas. Para hacerlo más atractivo, la gente empezó a usar cerámica con flores y patrones tallados. El huadiao jiu contiene un 16% de alcohol por volumen.
 Vino de Shaoxing (绍兴酒 o 紹興酒; pinyin: Shàoxīng jiǔ): es la versión de alta graduación alcohólica más conocida internacionalmente. Suele usarse en la cocina china, además de beberse. Su color rojizo se debe al arroz rojo fermentado. Un importante productor de este tipo de vino es Zhejiang Gu Yue Long Shan Shaoxing Wine Co., Ltd. (古越龍山) de Shaoxing (Zhejiang). No es infrecuente que algunas variedades de vino de Shaoxing se envejezcan durante 50 años o más.
 Hong lu jiu (红露酒 o 紅露酒; pinyin: hóng lù jiǔ; literalmente 'vino de rocío rojo'): hecho básicamente igual que el vino de Shaoxing, pero con menor graduación. Recibe nombres diferentes según su edad, recipiente y modo de empleo.
 Liaojiu (料酒; pinyin: liàojiǔ; literalmente 'vino ingrediente'): es un huangjiu de baja graduación usado ampliamente en la cocina china. Se vende a menudo con diversos condimentos añadidos, como clavo, anís estrellado, cassia, cardamomo negro, pimienta de Sichuan, jengibre, nuez moscada y sal.

Survey: Colorado dispensaries find it OK to give advice on taking pot during pregnancy
Despite packaging labels warning against cannabis use during pregnancy, some dispensary employees lacked a basic understanding of biology. (File image via AP)
It is always better to be safe than sorry!
In a new study, doctors at the Denver Health and the University of Colorado School of Medicine found that the majority of employees at dispensaries in the state told female buyers it is 'OK' when asked about an advice on cannabis use during pregnancy.
Only a fewer than a third of those stores recommended that a pregnant woman should consult with a doctor about cannabis use.
The Denver Post reported on Wednesday that Colorado health experts, regulatory officials, and even industry advocates have consistently answered — no — when it comes to cannabis use during pregnancy.
These experts backed their message with studies, public service announcements and warning labels on cannabis packaging.
"It was surprising and concerning to us because there are data that suggest exposure to cannabis can be harmful to a developing fetus," said Dr. Torri Metz, the study's lead researcher.
In one of the recent studies, it found that the combined tobacco and marijuana use can adversely affect infant's size and behavior.
Dr. Larry Wolk, a pediatrician and executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said so much work has been done to raise awareness to discourage marijuana use during pregnancy.
Despite packaging labels warning against cannabis use during pregnancy, some dispensary employees lacked a basic understanding of biology.
"Edibles would not hurt the child," one was quoted in the study as saying.
"They would be going through your digestion tract."
To Wolk, this shows the real problem.
"I think people have to be careful of the kind of information they're asking of a budtender because these are not health care people," he said.
Meanwhile, between 2014 and 2016, the percentage of women who said they used marijuana while pregnant or breastfeeding did not increase significantly, according to the latest numbers available from the Colorado Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System.

Identifying a problem is just step one — solving it is a whole other beast. So Congress is trying a few things to counter potential adversaries' attempts to undermine and co-opt America's research and innovation.
The House Armed Services Committee's version of the annual defense policy bill, reported to the floor last week, includes a provision that takes aim at Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and North Korean efforts to match America's technological edge by insinuating themselves into U.S. universities. It would require the Defense Department to certify that its grants go only to researchers who haven't participated in a talent-recruitment program by one of those countries.
If that sounds vague or potentially overbroad, several lawmakers on the committee would agree with you. But more on that later. Because even many of those who voted against the ultimately successful proposal said they supported its intent.
Pentagon officials have repeatedly warned in recent years that the U.S.'s military edge is eroding, as adversaries develop hypersonic weapons the U.S. can't counter and other advanced capabilities that chip away at long-assumed advantages.
Stealing information — or even just wooing away experts — from top American research institutions is one way that other countries have narrowed that gap, Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., said last week.
In an era where the Pentagon looks outside its own walls for cutting-edge ideas, those efforts attack the core of national security, lawmakers say.
U.S. officials have sounded alarm bells about IP theft and other technology transfers in both the commercial and military worlds, pointing to things like the Chinese J-22, a fifth-generation fighter jet that critics have said is remarkably similar to Lockheed Martin's F-35.
But figuring out how to address those challenges is another matter. Gallagher's provision would give the Defense Department six months to develop a certification process for determining that researchers hadn't participated in such a program, then another six months to implement it. At that point, the Defense Secretary could "terminate existing funding of, or prohibit the award of future funding" to anyone unable to meet that certification.
Several lawmakers on the committee said that's too overbroad. Left to the Pentagon, that undefined certification process has the potential to curtail all kinds of international participation at U.S. universities who are terrified of having federally funded research projects yanked.
"This amendment didn't say a single word about what that certification process is except that the Department of Defense gets to do it," said Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., the committee's ranking member.
While some of the programs that would decertify an applicant might be easily identified, like the Thousand Talents one, Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Md., asked what else could count — a stint in China collaborating with a colleague? What about a cultural exchange trip to Iran?
The debate, symptomatic of the U.S. government's challenges in countering all kinds of informational and irregular warfare, wrapped up with the amendment approved by voice vote. The measure is included in the National Defense Authorization Act that may get to the House floor as early as next week.
Behind the scenes, Democrats said they'd like to continue working with Gallagher and others to refine the proposal when the bill goes to conference with the Senate later this year.

Man arrested for duping women on pretext of marriage
Couple booked for duping man in Punjab
2 held for duping people with fake insurance policies in Noida
Nigerian among 2 arrested for online fraud
Three held for running illegal online lottery racket in TN
Seven people were arrested for allegedly duping more than hundred people by masquerading as bank employees and collecting their bank details, police said today.
The accused were identified as Majer Sing (29), Varinder Singh (25), Abhishek Sharma (25), Mohammad Salim (28), Mohammad Abdul Rahim (33), Mohammad Mumtaz Ansari (26) and Jagannath Mandal (45), they said.
On July 10, a complaint was filed by Prabeer Kumar Basu alleging that he had received a call two days ago by a person who asked him for his card details and pretended to be an employee of the State Bank of India. Subsequently, Rs 50,000 was deducted from his SBI account, said Ajit Kumar Singla, the additional commissioner of police (crime).
Three persons were arrested from Punjab, while another was nabbed from Jharkhand's Jamtara district. The four later disclosed the details of their other associates in Jamtara, from where these fake calls used to be made, the officer said.
The accused revealed that they used to make calls from Jharkhand to gullible people and collect their debit and credit card information by masquerading as bank employees on the pretext of renewing cards, the officer said.
Thereafter, they used to load the duped money in their digital wallets, which were opened by them on their phones using SIM cards registered on fake IDs. Then they used to transfer this money into the online wallets of their associates who were residing at different places of the country, he said.
The accused based in Jamtara transferred the cheated money to their associates residing in Punjab. Subsequently, their associates transferred the cash into several online wallets so that they could not be traced, he said.
The accused, Jagannath Mandal, hails from Jharkhand's Jamtara district. Due to poor financial condition, he started indulging in cyber fraud since 2015, along with his other associates from the district and other states, he added.

Ivan Bogorov, Dr (1818 - 1892)
One of the most eminent encyclopedians of the Bulgarian Revival period - a doctor of medicine by education, he was also very much concerned by business matters, economics, geography, industry, transportation, philology, journalistics. He had a leading role among the uilders of Bulgarian literary language with his First Grammar of Bulgarian Language (1844), as well as with the first ever French-Bulgarian and Bulgarian-French Dictionary. He had also had a leading role in publishing the first Bulgarian newspaper - Bulgarian Eagle (1846), which appeared two years after the first BG magazine - Konstantin Fotinovs Lyuboslovie (i.e. Love to Language).
Being a patriot, Dr Bogorov fought against the invasion of foreign words, and especially against the flood of Greek, which was popularly substituting our native language (since Bulgarians were still slaves to the Turkish Ottoman rule and using Bulgarian language was considered as not a prestigious thing to do) ....
Born in 1818 in the town of Karlovo, Ivan Bogorov studied in Constantinople and in Kouroucheshme (in the Greek parish school, where G.S.Rakovski and Sava Dobroplodni also studied). At the age of 19 he went to study at the Richelieu High School in Odessa, Russia (which was the place where Nayden Gerov, Botyo Petkov and Dobri Chintulov received their education).
Bogorov lived in Leipzig, Germany, where he founded the newspaper Bulgarian eagle -a civil, trade and literary newspaper. Then he lived in Constantinople where he wrote for the Constantinople Newspaper, trying to urge the eminent Bugarians, having high-ranking positions in the turkish Empire administration, to use their influence in favour of Bulgarian independent church.
He studied Medicine in Paris, then went back to Constantinople again, then he was a doctor in Plovdiv, where he was publishing his Journal of Science, Crafts and Trade. In Bucharest, Romania, he published his newspaper Nationality and prepared his Academic Dictionary of Bulgarian language.
During the Russo-Turkish War of Liberation (1887-1888) he volunteered as a translator of the Russain Military Commandment. He lived another 14 years in liberated Bulgaria, and died in 1892.

This textbook provides a modern and accessible introduction to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It describes the two main applications of plasma physics, laboratory research on thermo-nuclear fusion energy and plasma astrophysics of the solar system, stars and accretion disks, from the single viewpoint of MHD. This approach provides effective methods and insights for the interpretation of plasma phenomena on virtually all scales, from the laboratory to the universe. It equips the reader with the necessary tools to understand the complexities of plasma dynamics in extended magnetic structures. The classical MHD model is developed in detail without omitting steps in the derivations and problems are included at the end of each chapter. This text is ideal for senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses in plasma physics and astrophysics.

Marc Maron at Thalia Hall: Hecklers, tangents ... he wants this comedy thing to be more of a conversation
By Zach Freeman
Aug 20, 2018 | 12:30 PM
Marc Maron in Los Angeles in April. The comedian and "WTF" creator performed Sunday at Thalia Hall in Chicago. (Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times)
"Are you filming me?" comedian-podcaster (or podcaster-comedian, depending who you ask) Marc Maron asked an audience member with a mix of annoyance and genuine curiosity early in his 105-minute set Sunday night during a sold out-show at Thalia Hall. "Don't."
"It's just a photo," came the quick response from the audience. "Oh," Maron responded shortly, considering this for a moment before returning to the story he was telling (a lengthy tale about his own hypochondria that appeared in his 2013 Netflix special "Thinky Pain"). He then abruptly turned back to the camera-wielder. "Actually, go ahead and film. I'm not gonna use this bit," he said, adding that no one would watch it anyway and concluding, almost as an afterthought, "Nothing I've ever done has gone viral."
This exchange neatly sums up a great deal about both Maron's Chicago set specifically and his own persona more generally. Ready to engage with hecklers as if whatever they're saying might be the missing piece to his set (or maybe even his life), he's also quick with a self-deprecating thought and seems to revel in sidetracks (in this case the story he was telling was itself already a sidetrack after he had mentioned that his left arm hurt).
Sitting on a wooden stool for most of his set, adjusting his glasses and rubbing his eyes — and at one point taking a lengthy pause to blow his nose — Maron seemed extremely comfortable even as he discussed his own anxiety and mental struggles. "You can see right through the funny into the sadness," he cautioned the first few rows of audience members at the start of the night. "Right here you're just replacing my parents, who did not do a good job."
In his book "Attempting Normal" Maron describes his personal brand as "slightly damaged, emotionally complicated, inconsistent" and he's certainly not wrong. Over the course of the night, he broke down his level of celebrity ("mid-level," for the record), spent time dissecting his jokes and pointing out the current flaws and how he was trying to improve them ("Just letting you in on the process," he explained), took a deep dive into the Trump administration (unsurprising for a comic who once worked for the short-lived liberal radio station Air America) and berated Marvel movie fans ("If you're a grown-up and you get real excited about the new Marvel movie …" he started).

In a plaid shirt, khakis and brown dress shoes (which he polished himself, he noted), Maron performed more like an especially vocal guest at a crowded dinner party than a comedian delivering a planned set, going off on tangents (the weekend's Air and Water Show got a healthy discussion), taking pauses to look around, interrupting himself and occasionally talking directly to specific audience members and waiting for them to respond.
Chicago comic Chelsea Hood opened the show with jokes about dating, her dad dying and enjoying the warm weather. "One thing I really love about the summer is that I don't have to look at a man in a sweater with an elbow patch," she said. "What are you doing? You have a desk job, Sean."

She then introduced surprise guest — and recent interview subject on Maron's extremely popular podcast "WTF with Marc Maron" — Jimmy O. Yang. An actor on HBO's "Silicon Valley" and in the No. 1 film of the weekend "Crazy Rich Asians," Yang delivered a quick eight-minute set, mentioning that people come up to him and say, "Thank you for representing Asian people on TV." His response? "You're welcome. But it's not really a choice." After a pause for laughs, he added, "When you're Asian you can only play Asian characters. When you're white you can play whatever ... you want."
On that note, toward the end of the show, an audience member shouted out that Maron had recently been cast in the new Joker origin film starring Joaquin Phoenix, noting that he would be part of a comic book film, though he had mocked them earlier in the night. After nodding appreciatively at potentially being caught in his own hypocrisy, Maron shrugged and offered a quintessentially Maron response: "Am I in any position to turn that ... down?"

Kuala Lumpur students seeking prep services for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) can receive outstanding scores with the help of Manhattan Review's GMAT prep classes and private tutoring. Our highly effective GMAT courses are available both on site in Kuala Lumpur and online in an interactive format, and are taught by instructors with both high-level academic credentials and significant experience in the business world. Since 1999, Manhattan Review has been helping our clients gain admission to the best graduate business programs, including the University of California - Berkeley's Haas School of Business, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the London School of Economics, New York University's Stern School of Business, and the business schools at Harvard and Stanford. Whichever business school you would like to attend, chances are that we've helped place students there before.
Each year, the GMAT is taken by approximately 250,000 people in over 100 countries. The test is used by more than 2,100 universities and over 5,900 individual programs to screen applicants, primarily those interested in pursuing Master of Business Administration, Master of Accountancy, and Master of Finance degrees. GMAT scores range from 200 to 800, with about two-thirds of all test-takers scoring between 440 and 640 and an average score of about 545. There is a strong correlation between a business school's rank and the GMAT scores of its admitted students, and in fact these rankings are partially based on GMAT scores. Even the upper end of the majority of test-takers (640) is usually not sufficient for business programs ranked in the top 50. The typical student at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, for example, scored a 720, while the median GMAT score for students at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management is a 710. Manhattan Review's GMAT prep classes will give you the skills necessary for scores that are well above average.
Manhattan Review's past clients have succeeded both in business school and in their professional lives. We can count employees of KLCC Property Holdings, Genting Group, Usaha Tegas, Maxis Communications, and other important Kuala Lumpur companies among our former students. We've also helped start careers at Fortune 500 companies, including Berkshire Hathaway, General Electric, AT&T, and JP Morgan Chase. Many of our students have become independent businessmen and businesswomen, with their own companies in a variety of industries. A great career in business begins with a strong business school application, including upper-percentile GMAT scores. Manhattan Review's GMAT prep courses and private tutoring will help make the most of your ambition and natural talent.
Meet a Kuala Lumpur GMAT Tutor: Fashran O.
Fashran O., a Kuala Lumpur native, has been a Manhattan Review GMAT tutor since 2010. He is also an independent businessman, the owner of a web-based company that provides travel services. Fashran's tertiary education took place entirely in the United States. He completed a bachelor's degree in international business at the University of South Carolina and an MBA at the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School. Fashran began his tutoring career while he was a graduate student, and was hired by Manhattan Review's Atlanta office before moving back home to Kuala Lumpur.
Fashran's students often comment on how his experience as a business student and businessman makes him an effective GMAT tutor. "Some prep tutors have tunnel vision, and can't see beyond the test," said one business school applicant. "Fashran understands my larger goals, and it shows in his tutoring. I've learned more than just the concepts that are important to the GMAT. I now understand why business schools consider the test important in the first place." While in Atlanta, Fashran became a fan of the local sports teams, especially the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Thrashers (he was extremely disappointed when the latter moved to Winnipeg), and he continues to follow them whenever he has the time.


This picture was taken at the reunion reported in Allentown Daily Call. The photo is not captioned. Clearly Peter and Elizabeth Grim are at the center. Please leave comments if you can identify others in the photo. Peter and Elizabeth were my great, great grandparents.
The first reunion of the Grim family, held yesterday at Hancock, was a big success. The weather was perfect and over 600 persons were present and fraternized in the most joyous manner, and many a one succeeded in tracing up a relative or renewing old-time friendships.
The forenoon was most happily spent and when the noon hour arrived huge baskets were unpacked and soon every table in the park was laden with choice delicacies and everybody's hunger was appeased.
The afternoon teams brought large additions to the crowd already there and many others who were not in the "freundschaft" also made it a point to be there and participate in the enjoyment of the occasion, and when the hour for departure was at hand everybody declared that it had been good to be there, and that they would be present at the next reunion.
The reception committee consisted of Dr. E. M. Herbst, W.T. Breinig and Jacob P. Grim. The collection committee was composed of Katie S. Grim and Stanley Grim. The refreshment stand was in charge of R.A. Fenstermacher, of Topton and Ben. Christman, of Macungie.
Dr. E.M. Herbst was charman of the afternnon meeting. Rev. Edgar Grim Miller delivered an address in English and the Rev. A.J. Herman in German.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, William Grim, of Boyertown; Vice President, Geroge Grim, of Reading; Secretary, Emma Grim, of Kutztown; Treasurer, William Breinig, of Breinigsville. Rev. Edgar G. Miller, of Easton, was elected historian.

Grim, wife and daughter, Jerry Focht and wife, of Cetronia.
The ancestors of the present Grim family were among the earliest settlers in Eastern Pensylvania. The first came over about 1730. His name was Egidius Grim, and he landed with other German immigrants in Philadelphia and was followed by others. Egidius or Gideon settled near the old historic Ziegel Church, where he acquired over 750 acres of land, and where a village bears his name. He came from Wurtemberg. His house, strongly built, was a rallying point for his neighbors whenever the Indians became troublesome."
My mother, Marie Schmitt Ely wrote this poem in December 1938, six months after she was married and had moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Over the past few years, I've wondered about this - it did not sound like a poem written by a young bride.
An incredible number of ages ago.
If we should meet, they'd only bow.
In its flaming journey through the night.
As it rises over the mountain tops.
To the glory of night and the beauty of day.
Here is a portrait of Herbert, Florence Grim, Hannah and Albert Ely (my father).


Hi Adam, let's get right into it! Tell us how you named your studio. Are these brothers battling one another or are they brothers that do battle? Where can we learn a bit more and get in touch with you for a commission?
Hey Marco it's awesome to chat with ya! I came up with the name because I initially was wanting to build this business with a friend. He got busy doing other things but ultimately the dream was to build a business that supported gamers by helping them get their models painted but also great hobbyists by bringing projects to multiple people for a little extra income. The name Battle Brothers Studios ultimately came about because the friend I started the studio with looks a lot like me and we used to use each others ID cards at bars to see if we could get away with it. We became so close that we just started joking with people that we were brothers. The common phrase amongst the space marines made it a great fit for the studio.
You mentioned you paint a minimum of 35 hours/week...so we're basically talking full time. Some folks may call that a risky move. Was there a defining moment where you threw up your hands and took the full time plunge, and, in your eyes, what are some pros and cons of being a full time painter?
Indeed there was! It was a leap of "faith" if you will. I was actually finally convinced by my lovely wife to get rid of all my gaming stuff three and a half years ago because I hadn't touched it in a while. As I was slowly offloading on Kijiji I had people start asking me to paint stuff for them. It started small but kept growing and got to a point where I couldn't manage essentially working three jobs so something had to go. I quit my job working at a cell phone company and decided to put all that time into growing the business. Three years later we are still here and painting models so that's a good thing! The pro's are easy, it's fun, I can be home with my wife and kid, work when I feel like it and flex my creative muscles on the regular. The cons are when you come up to the end of the month and realize that you need to book something or else you won't have enough for rent next month. Thankfully every time that happens emails just pour in!
What's a technique you want to master this year?
I think I want to get better at glazing and working with colour theory a little more to make some fun and interesting new colour combinations!
Show us what your studio looks like...right now! What're you working on?
I have 2 Salamanders thunderfire cannons, about 20 Star Trek ships, a big cardboard box full of orks, a bunch of terrain for the Youtube channel, some stuff for a new skirmish game called Wild West Exodus, a Talons of the Emperor 40k army and a tyranid theme 6' x 4' gaming table coming through the pipe! That is of course on top of all my personal projects.
That is some tasty white right there.
What's a model you've been dying to paint, and why?
If I had to be honest it would be to make a mechanicum army for personal collection! The models are super nice and that new Forgebane box makes it really easy to start. If I had to pick a single model then it would be my Mastodon because it's been on my shelf for too long and I want to play some 30k games with it!
What's a tip (besides the classic 'thin your paints') that you want to pass on to as many hobbyists as you can?
Just paint as many models as you can. The best way to learn is to keep painting. Don't stop and stay teachable.
You're part of a content producing team called Encounter Wargaming. What are your goals this year? How can we help you get there?
Our goals this year are to start live broadcasting tutorials and battle reports as well as introduce some new games into the rotation! Anyone reading this can help by supporting us on Patreon so we can look towards a studio space to record in a quiet environment. That would be the biggest hurdle for us to overcome and would be the biggest increase in production quality! Living in the downtown core of Toronto you can imagine, rent isn't cheap and apartments aren't large enough to play games in so we have to rely on outside support to keep the channel growing.
The floor is yours. Plug anything you want; yourself, upcoming events, your work and what your favourite thing to listen to while painting is!
Oh man! Our gaming club, Hogtown 40k, is putting on its first large sized multi day event (check out The Hogtowner HERE) We have official sponsors, of which you are one which is so cool, and it will be catered. We are trying to make this event both competitive and fun for people who are interested in all aspects of the hobby. We have MANY different types of awards to give out and at this point about $1200-1500 of prizes to give away. Everyone who attends will get a coupon to my painting studio which will be fun. The best part of this event is that it is right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Usually for an event like this you would most certainly need a car but this event is easily accessible to all of us Torontonians.
Also I'll be doing some new promotions for 2018 including a discount on commissions for any new releases from any miniature company and special bundles for skirmish games.
a free custom army display base which is designed for tournaments to PUMP UP that appearance/painting score and transport your army from table to table.
Lastly my favourite thing to listen to while painting are sermons. I'm a Christian that loves Jesus and the bible and I think it's the most important thing to do in life is to grow spiritually so since I have a lot of time to think, meditate and pray while painting toys I take advantage. Other than that zombie movies or zombie TV shows are fun too haha!
Today I interview Zach Lyons, head of Brushfire Studios here in Ottawa.
Commission Corner is a quick interview segment with commission miniature painting artists to chat about their studios, workflow and that makes them tick.


The headlining act will perform at 11:30 PM. This show is 21+.
Bloomington, Indiana has something to really be proud of in hometown heroes The Cowboys. One of the most exciting and indescribable bands of the last five years, this band manages to escape all of the pitfalls of modern DIY punk/garage and break out into a field of their own instantly. Their 4th album, 'The Bottom of a Rotten Flower', was released February 14th, 2019.
Flatfoot formed in East Lansing during the fall of 2000 by brothers Aaron and Jason Bales. We play rock and roll with some twang, pop sensibilities and punk energy.

The configurability of multi-terabit Software Defined Networking devices ushers in a new level of challenge in the verification process. The number of combinations of configuration settings exceeds the practical limits of traditional verification methods. This paper describes how formal verification methodology was used to address this challenge on the Cavium XPliant® Ethernet Switch designs.
Inconclusive formal verification results or bounded proofs have been hindering the adoption of formal verification. This paper describes a formal sign-off methodology in presence of bounded proofs. With an understanding of the DUT and a systematic analytical approach, we can qualify bounded proofs and use Abstraction Models to achieve formal sign-off.
Using the Sun OpenSPARC DDR2 Memory Controller design that has been in the open-source public domain, this paper removes much of the mystery in a successful application of end-to-end formal verification on a memory controller design.
PCI Express is a classical example of a design that can result in severe complexity challenges in formally verifying end-to-end properties. Yet, data-transport designs like this can be successfully verified using creative abstraction methods. This presentation discusses general strategies for verifying a PCI Express design.
This paper proposes a systematic set of guidelines for creating an effective formal verification testplan, which consists of an English list of comprehensive requirements that capture the desired functionality of the blocks that are to be verified.
Formal verification can complement or replace simulation effort for selected hardware designs. In this paper we discuss how formal verification can be deployed using simulation-based coverage in a simulation-based verification schedule.
To insure high quality of service, today's routers need to record and react to numerous statistics in real time, across all the routing paths. Architectural features needed to support the throughput requirements risked creating numerous corner cases. This presentation summarizes how an 18-month simulation-based effort was shrunk down into only 3 months using formal verification.
The use of abstraction models is key to overcoming complexity barriers in applying formal verification.. In this paper, we show how simulation-like coverage metrics can be used to determine the completeness of a formal verification setup, for a real-world design with a large state space, that needed abstractions for end-to-end proofs.
Bypass logic in used to achieve performance in deeply pipelined designs, but comes at a significant increase in verification complexity. This paper describes how we applied model checking to establish the correctness of the bypass case, and found corner case bugs that are almost impossible to find with simulation.

Australian War Memorial, Canberra – 24 November 2014
The Resilient Australia Awards national ceremony is the culmination of the year's awards program which is sponsored by the Attorney-General's Department in conjunction with the states and territories.
The Hon. Michael Keenan MP, Minister for Justice presented the 2014 Resilient Australia Awards at a ceremony held at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on Monday 24 November 2014. There were a total of 24 entries recognised from 160 applications.
'Congratulations to the award-winning and highly commended projects in this year's national Resilient Australia Awards.
'These awards recognise outstanding contributions communities are making to disaster management including risk assessment and mitigation, education, training and research, community awareness and engagement, as well as to response and recovery.
'The work of these organisations, groups and individuals are helping to prepare our nation for future natural disasters and ensuring our communities are more resilient to adverse events that are a fact of life when living in Australia.
'The Australian Government is committed to making the nation's communities safer and more resilient to natural disasters. Better understanding of how we can manage our natural disaster risks is essential to achieving this goal.
'There is an opportunity for reform, to better protect our communities from harm and improve the living standards of Australians. The release of the Productivity Commission's draft report in September was an important step in this process', said Minister Keenan.
Australian Red Cross
Building Resilience Workshops
The Building Resilience Workshops project focused on making sure older people, people with disabilities and those from culturally and linguistically diverse communities are better prepared for disasters. The Australian Red Cross worked in partnership with councils, emergency agencies and experts, to determine how best to provide preparedness messages to vulnerable members of the community. The ultimate aim was to ensure people would have the skills to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters.

Bundaberg North State School
Bears Calm Bundy North after 2013 Floods
Bundaberg North was devastated by floods in 2013. Nearly every home sustained significant damage. During the emergency the Bundaberg North State School became a hub for physical and emotional support. This prompted the school Guidance Officer to provide ongoing support for students and their families. The Guidance Officer developed the BEAR Plan and along with the school Chaplain, students were taught calming strategies based on the letters B E A R – Breathe, Exit, Ask, Relax. Students were also given teddy bears to help calm them when they became emotionally overwhelmed.

Water Observations from Space
The Water Observations from Space (WOfS) program aims is to better inform communities of where flooding is usually present, where it is seldom observed, and where inundation occurs. WOfS is derived from satellite imagery archives dated from 1998—2012. WOfS was developed to provide a nationally consistent view of surface water in an open and accessible way to improve the understanding of floods. WOfS is part of the National Flood Risk Information Project and is available through the Australian Flood Risk Information Portal and via web map services at Geoscience Australia.

If you're gonna do one, I've always thought a handgun ban is a lot more appealing than an assault rifle ban.
I 1000% think an academic institution could have a class on angry black women, or any other group.
No, I specifically mean he's better than that. There are certainly other posters I wouldn't say that to.
Yes, of course. It's the rate that matters.
