This simple recipe recreates a chocolate spread much like the popular Nutella product!
Spread hazelnuts in single layer on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Transfer nuts to food processor and grind to a butter. In medium bowl, combine nut butter, coconut oil, cocoa, sweetener, vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Store in refrigerator but allow to warm to room temperature prior to use.
This recipe, because it lacks ingredients such as emulsifying agents like Nutella, will not be as smooth and have a somewhat different flavor. But it's still got that tasty flavor of hazelnuts and cocoa. Because there is no sugar, the spread is very low-carb with around 11-12 grams net carbs in the entire batch.

Harley-Davidson moves European production out of U.S.
Harley-Davidson announced Monday motorcycles headed for European Union countries will be assembled outside the United States to avoid an EU tariff. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo
June 25 (UPI) -- Harley-Davidson said Monday it will move production of its motorcycles headed for European Union customers outside the United States to avoid a new tariff.
The action comes in response to tariffs the EU imposed on U.S.-made motorcycles.
The tariffs, which took effect Friday, are retaliation for taxes President Donald Trump imposed on EU shipments of steel and aluminum.
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Harley-Davidson said the 31 percent tariff, up from 6 percent, would add about $2,200 to the cost of each motorcycle -- and the impact could reach $100 million per year.
About 16 percent of the Milwaukee-based company's revenue comes from European sales, which reached nearly 40,000 units in 2017. There, it competes with European and Japanese-made motorcycles which are not subject to the new tariff.
"Harley-Davidson believes the tremendous cost increase, if passed onto its dealers and retail customers, would have an immediate and lasting detrimental impact to its business in the region, reducing customer access to Harley-Davidson products and negatively impacting the sustainability of its dealers' businesses," the company said in the filing, adding it won't raise the prices of its products.
The company has assembly plants in the United States, India and Brazil, and will open a new plant in Thailand in the summer. Some motorcycles sold in Italy, Portugal and Spain are made in India.
Trump has regularly pointed to Harley-Davidson as an example of a U.S. business harmed by trade barriers.
Shares of Harley-Davidson fell 3 percent in pre-market trading Monday.

Earlier in the month I mentioned the different phosphors that have been used on definitives in recent months, with an explanation from Royal Mail. As Brian said, there were also similar but possibly better variations 3-4 years ago.
Of course the same applies to the commemorative stamps in mixed retail booklets, though reader John S has sent me some surprising photos of the two booklets issued for the Queen's Birthday. Of course not all UV-lamps or cameras/devices are the same so I checked with my own (a mains UV lamp probably ought to be on the Christmas list!).
These are the pictures John sent. In all cases RB1 is at the top, and RB2 at the foot. There is clearly some difference, although only in the third picture can you see clearly what John suggests, that is that the phosphor on RB2 is brighter than that on RB1 - which would suggest that it was printed first using the old phosphor?
The reaction of the part of the stamp without phosphor bands is also interesting, suggesting that maybe the iridescent ink is what is causing the apparent difference.
On my own picture, the Ultra Violet light is shining from the left, but I don't think the intensity of the light is what is causing this difference. In this case RB2 is on the left, and RB1 on the right.
The reaction on the left is brighter, but the part of the stamp without phosphor is strikingly different.

You Make My Day: Omnivore Collects Trini Lopez's "Rare Reprise Singles"
October 13, 2021 By Joe Marchese 8 Comments
BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM
Singer-guitarist Trini Lopez, Texas-born and of Mexican descent, skyrocketed to fame with his 1963 recording of Pete Seeger's "If I Had a Hammer." Lopez's bright and spirited rendition of the protest song went to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and even eclipsed Peter, Paul, and Mary's Grammy-winning top ten hit of one year earlier. It launched Lopez to a successful career as an all-around entertainer, television and film actor, and prolific recording artist. "If I Had a Hammer" came to disc because producer-arranger Don Costa caught Lopez's act at the West Hollywood nightspot P.J.'s. Costa sensed his potential and brought Reprise Records founder Frank Sinatra to see whether he concurred. The Chairman did, and Lopez was signed to Reprise. He recorded 20 albums for the label through 1969 as well as numerous non-LP sides. On December 3, Omnivore will reissue two dozen of those sides on CD as The Rare Reprise Singles.
The music on The Rare Reprise Singles reflects the diversity of Lopez's sound. He was championed early in his career by Buddy Holly and recorded a couple of 45s with his band The Big Beats under the direction of Holly's producer, Norman Petty. He then pursued solo recording for the King and Volk labels before Don Costa discovered him playing at PJ's. At Reprise, Lopez continued to record a wide range of material including concept albums of love songs, folk classics, rhythm and blues, country, Latin music, and even old-fashioned sing-alongs. Don Costa remained with him for most of his Reprise tenure, with his final albums produced by Snuff Garrett and the team of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
The Rare Reprise Singles collects Lopez's non-LP sides for the label including the studio version of his rousing take on the Bernstein/Sondheim West Side Story classic "America" (stylized by the artist as "A-Mer-I-Ca"), a Bob Gaudio-helmed single of Randy Newman's wry "Love Story," both sides of a Christmas 45 ("El Niño Del Tambor (The Little Drummer Boy)" b/w "Noche de Paz (Silent Night)"/"Let There Be Peace"), his funky reinvention of The Vogues' "Five O'Clock World," and Paul Anka and Bobby Gosh's groovy "You Make My Day." Other highlights include the movie theme "Made in Paris," one of the most rocking songs Burt Bacharach and Hal David ever wrote, and Frank DeVol and Mack David's "The Bramble Bush" from the 1967 war film The Dirty Dozen. Lopez was one of the titular twelve (No. 10, to be precise) and he also recorded his own tie-in song to the movie. That track, "The Ballad of The Dirty Dozen," is also here.
The collection features liner notes from Gene Sculatti as well as photos and memorabilia images. Trini Lopez died from COVID-19 complications at age 83 in August 2020. As many of his Reprise albums have never been reissued on CD (not to mention subsequent recordings for Capitol, RCA, Roulette, Polydor, and other labels), this is a most welcome surprise and hopefully just the first release from Lopez's discography. The Rare Reprise Singles is due from Omnivore Recordings on December 3. You'll find the track listing and pre-order links below.

The Equality of Women (Part 2)
Continued from Part 1 of the Equality of Women >
The Bahá'í Principle of Complementarity
The Equality of Women
To appreciate the distinguishing characteristics of the Bahá'í paradigm, we must first realize that there is no single issue or explanation that governs all distinctions of function as regards gender. The exigencies of family life dictate parental roles, whereas the restriction of membership on the Universal House of Justice to men has its own special wisdom. For example, let us approach the rationale for gender distinction with regard to functions in the Bahá'í family. In Bahá'í society, parental responsibility is in many ways the most essential and pivotal function of community life, since the training of children is viewed as the primary means by which the bird of humankind takes flight and an "ever-advancing civilization" is fostered. As a result of this priority, the duties of both parents are carefully focused on this crucial task.
Thus, because of physiological fact, the woman as mother has obligations regarding children that men do not have to the same degree, "for it is the mother who rears, nurtures and guides the growth of the child". Likewise, and we may presume to facilitate the mother's duty, the father has obligations that the mother does not have—"primary responsibility for the financial support of the family...".
But we must immediately note that these are "primary" areas of responsibility in the context of a marriage in which there are children. Such distinctions most emphatically do not imply that the man has no parental responsibilities or that the woman is less capable than the man of earning a living, that the woman does not have full and equal part in making all financial decisions, or that the woman should not have a vocation. Indeed, the Universal House of Justice notes that these relationships and responsibilities must be worked out within the exigencies of each individual family, that "family consultation will help to provide the answers", and of course, in such consultation, neither sex has primacy of authority or status. In addition, the Universal House of Justice notes that the role of the woman as mother "does not by any means imply that the place of women is confined to the home".
The reason for gender distinction as regards parental functions thus seems centered around this essential goal of society to advance itself by training its children and the pivotal role of the family as a divinely ordained organism in accomplishing that task, a duty that 'Abdu'l-Bahá states is so important that neglect of this duty is a "sin unpardonable". It is perhaps understandable, then, that the crucial nature of this function dictates that the woman be released from financial responsibilities to accomplish the initial stages of this process. We might, also assume that the man's right of inheritance with regard to intestacy is likewise bound up in his special financial responsibilities in Bahá'í family life, obligations that might render the appellation "head" of the family appropriate to the father as it relates to his special financial duties: "... it can be inferred from a number of the responsibilities placed upon him, that the father can be regarded as the 'head' of the family".
However, this designation carries with it no special authority, but rather demonstrates that because the family as an organic enterprise is "a very special kind of 'community'," it reflects a division of duties according to the exigencies of this function:
The members of a family all have duties and responsibilities towards one another and to the family as a whole, and these duties and responsibilities vary from member to member because of their natural relationships. The parents have the inescapable duty to educate their children—but not vice versa; the children have the duty to obey their parents—the parents do not obey the children; the mother—not the father—bears the children, nurses them in babyhood, and is thus their first educator, hence daughters have a prior right to education over sons and, as the Guardian's secretary has written on his behalf: "The task of bringing up a Bahá'í child, as emphasized time and again in Bahá'í Writings, is the chief responsibility of the mother, whose unique privilege is indeed to create in her home such conditions as would be most conducive to both his material and spiritual welfare and advancement. The training which a child first receives through his mother constitutes the strongest foundation for his future development" A corollary of this responsibility of the mother is her right to be supported by her husband—a husband has no explicit right to be supported by his wife. This principle of the husband's responsibility to provide for and protect the family can be seen applied also in the law of intestacy which provides that the family's dwelling place passes, on the father's death, not to his widow, but to his eldest son; the son at the same time has the responsibility to care for his mother. - Universal House of Justice
Thus, if the term "head" of the family be used in a Bahá'í context to designate the father, it must be understood to have none of the conventional authoritarian implications that the term heretofore has so often connoted, because in the Bahá'í family, the husband does not have any authority, privilege, or status that the wife does not share equally:
The atmosphere within a Bahá'í family as within the community as a whole, should express "the keynote of the Cause of God" which, the beloved Guardian has stated, "is not dictatorial authority but humble fellowship, not arbitrary power, but the spirit of frank and loving consultation." (Lights of Guidance 224– 25)
Or to understand the term in relation to the concept of complementarity, the term "head" in the Bahá'í context designates the nature of the husband's function, not a hierarchy of status:
Indeed, to use the human temple as the example, if the husband is the head, the wife can well be regarded as the heart of the family. When the husband and the wife work cooperatively and complementarily, the well-being, health and proper functioning of the unity can be ensured. -Universal House of Justice
The House of Justice has stated previously, in response to a question from a believer, that the use of the term "head" does not confer superiority upon the husband, nor does it give him special rights to undermine the rights of the other members of the family. It has also stated that if agreement cannot be reached following loving consultation, "there are times...when a wife should defer to her husband, and times when a husband should defer to his wife, but neither should ever unjustly dominate the other"; this is in marked contrast to the conventional use of the term "head" with which is associated, frequently, the unfettered right of making decisions when agreement cannot be reached between husband and wife. -Universal House of Justice
In short, regardless of what appellations we use for family members, authority is still equally distributed between the husband and wife, and, in fact, the primacy of duties is attributed to the mother, both with regard to her having first rights to education and in relation to her essential worth to human society:
The woman is indeed of the greater importance to the race. She has the greater burden and the greater work. Look at the vegetable and the animal worlds. The palm which carries the fruit is the tree most prized by the date grower. - 'Abdu'l-Bahá
Therefore, though the duties in the Bahá'í family relate in certain circumstances to gender, there is no intent in any of this that the woman's role be subordinate or inferior. Quite the opposite is the case, though clearly Bahá'í gender roles can only be fully understood and effected "in the context of Bahá'í society, not in that of past or present social norms". Even with our present limited insights about the future evolution of Bahá'í community life, we would do well to note at least one major characteristic of these gender distinctions with regard to Bahá'í relationships and institutions. These differences seem to result from circumstantial and physiological fact. They are not in any way attributable to distinctions in human capacities or powers. To confirm this fact, 'Abdu'l-Bahá points out that in a sane, just, and healthy society women will have full status and function in every human endeavor:
In no movement will they be left behind. Their rights with men are equal in degree. They will enter all the administrative branches of politics. They will attain in all such a degree as will be considered the very highest station of the world of humanity and will take part in all affairs. - 'Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks
With this clear statement of the equality of women and men, let us consider a distinction of duties that seems unrelated to matters of rearing children—the crucial matter of membership on the Universal House of Justice. How can we not infer from this distinction of function a sense of the woman as less capable in some as yet unknown capacity? If we approach this issue by asking ourselves what it is that qualifies men that does not quality women, or the converse, what capabilities do women not have that men have, then we have already strayed from the logic and integrity of the Bahá'í paradigm. Once we have established that there is absolutely no distinction in human capacity between men and women, such questions automatically become illogical and unfounded. We can infer as much from 'Abdu'l-Bahá statement that "ere long" the wisdom of this distinction will be "manifest as clearly as the sun at high noon". We may presume that at such a time we will exclaim, as have the women of Iran regarding 'Abdu'l-Bahá's advice to them, "This was indeed supreme wisdom!". In the meantime, we must necessarily confine our speculation to answers that deal with circumstantial explanations, since the reason can have nothing to do with gender per se, an inference absolutely confirmed by the fact that women are ordained to serve on every other Bahá'í institutional and administrative body.
Even if we accept that there is a special logic and just explanation for every gender-based distinction of function in the Bahá'í community (the wisdom of each of which we will in time behold), what can we conclude about the nature of gender itself quite apart from the assignment of duties? Which attributes ascribed to women and men are real, and which are artificially derived from antiquated notions of status and function?
Most probably we must conclude that for the present we cannot know with certitude anything much about true sex-determined traits in the human species, since we approach such questions from the perspective of our own limited background and biases and since the emergence of valid and healthy distinctions, whatever they may turn out to be, must await a social context that is itself conducive to fostering such distinctions. In some passages 'Abdu'l-Bahá seems to imply inherent and permanent gender traits. He states that "woman has greater moral courage than the man; she has also special gifts which enable her to govern in moments of danger and crisis", that the woman is "more tender-hearted, more receptive, her intuition is more intense", and that "'in sciences and arts, in virtues and perfections ye shall become equal to man, and as regards tenderness of heart and the abundance of mercy and sympathy ye are superior'". Of course, these distinctions may be appropriate only to our present circumstance wherein men have largely lost a sense of their so-called feminine traits, but it is interesting that in each of these distinctions, the feminine attributes cited are viewed not as signs of weakness or as alternative virtues, but as additional and as indications of superiority.
We may find one helpful key to understanding more generally this principle of co-equal complementarity in the metaphorical appellation Bahá'u'lláh and 'Abdu'l-Bahá used in addressing women. On the one hand, They sometimes employed the epithet "leaves"—Bahíyyih Khánum was titled "The Greatest Holy Leaf." Certain men, on the other hand, have been designated as "branches" and "twigs." If the tree represents the attributes of God given phenomenal form, or the Anisa (the Tree of Life), or possibly the human race itself, what is the relationship between the branch and the leaf? Is one superior to the other, one more vital than the other in the thriving of the tree?
Their functions are distinct yet reciprocal and co-equal. Each is necessary for the survival of the other, even as 'Abdu'l-Bahá has observed that the husband and wife "are two helpmates, two intimate friends, who should be concerned about the welfare of each other".
Furthermore, it is only when both function so as to complement the other that the tree can prosper. The branch channels raw fluids and nutrients to the leaf (perhaps as the father of a household provides the sheer financial wherewithal for the family), and the leaf takes that potential and through photosynthesis changes this raw substance into kinetic chemical energy. As we know, photosynthesis takes place because the leaf is capable of using sunlight, and in the scriptures, sunlight symbolizes spiritual and intellectual guidance. Metaphorically, then, the appellation "leaf" seems to designate the woman as the key instrument by which the enlightenment and evolution of human society takes place, possibly because it is she who by instructing the children translates the potentialities of the Revelation into kinetic virtues.
Finally, we are faced with the existential dilemma of trying to live in two worlds at the same time, one that is dying and suffering the pangs of that death, and the other world not yet fully born. We are challenged, therefore, to discover for ourselves the elusive and constantly changing point of balance between trying on the one hand to respond courageously to present injustices and, on the other hand, attempting to fashion, however embryonically, the society envisioned in the Bahá'í Commonwealth, which alone can ultimately elucidate and fully implement the equality of women and men. Of course, this is a dilemma we face with every social problem, since Bahá'ís perceive an inescapable relationship between abstract virtues and the expression of those verities in the edifice of human society, as well as a social ecology wherein no single issue can be resolved piecemeal as an isolated or autonomous pathology. For example, we cannot curtail drug abuse until we create a society sufficiently healthy that it no longer desires to escape from the realities of its existence. In the same way, we can with only limited effectiveness pursue the equality of women and men until we fashion a just and healthy social context to nurture that organic relationship:
The principle of the equality between women and men, like the other teachings of the Faith, can be effectively and universally established among the friends when it is pursued in conjunction with all the other aspects of Bahá'í life. -Universal House of Justice
Put another way, our goal is to establish a healthy human society, something that can only be accomplished when the full potential of women are unleashed. But health is not simply the absence of disease; it is the presence of a vital energy and direction. In Noah's day the true workers for social justice were not those so immersed in pursuing what they deemed to be their own best interest that they were deaf to the Prophet's guidance and admonitions, strange as his advice may have seemed at the time, but those noble few who listened and believed and labored with Him to fashion board by board the Ark of their own salvation.

As High School Musical's "Mrs. Darbus" would say, "Proximity to the arts is cleansing for the soul." Whether most students at ABAC know it or not, musicals have forever been a part of their lives. Most students grew up watching classic Disney movies like "Aladdin," "High School Musical," "The Lion King," "Beauty and The Beast" and more. The songs are embedded in memories, much like how most students know the opening song, "Circle of Life," to Disney's "The Lion King." Not only are the songs embedded, but the messages are too; Disney's "The Princess and The Frog" teaches hard work and determination, "Mulan" teaches those to do what they believe is right (as well as emphasize the strength of women) and "The Lion King" shows how to deal with loss, regret and ultimately with facing one's fears. Disney musicals are classic examples of how much they played a role in the lives of many.
Musical theater is no different than what most students have seen on TV in terms of the catchy songs that keep the flow of the message that is being told. The main difference is simply that musical theater is live, not animated. Theater offers the same entertainment we as students receive through Netflix, Hulu or even Disney Plus, but something our subscriptions cannot provide us is the joy of seeing something in person. Seeing a theater show is an experience to remember, and ABAC wants to make sure students can encounter some of everything during their time on campus.
For the spring semester, ABAC and the Baldwin Players are proud to present, "The Spitfire Grill," which is a spirited musical directed by Dr. Brian Ray. Ray, who has been teaching theater and directing ABAC's plays since 2012, states that, "The Spitfire Grill" is a "modern musical" that "adds a level of freshness to the music and production." The play itself is based on the Lee Zlotoff movie, which shares the same name. The play was released in 2001 but was overshadowed. Ray said the play was about "a young woman who is paroled from prison" and "finds her way to a small town in the far north of Wisconsin." Though she is strange to the townspeople, due to her being an outsider, she becomes part of the town and learns she is not the only one wanting a new beginning. Ray says, "she becomes a catalyst for healing that extends far beyond her past" as it extends towards the entire town.
Ray shared the process of developing a musical. "Like any play, the process begins with auditioning and selecting a cast. This show is relatively small—just seven actors (four women and three men). Most of them sing and have at least one solo each," said Ray. The audition for this musical will consist of a reading from the script as well as performing a piece of a song. Ray states how he has to "find the best possible talent," and "estimate how the actors will work together," before finally anticipating, "how the overall ensemble of actors/singers will work best to tell the story of the play." As far as the actors, after the casting is completed, they will go through a six and a half week rehearsal schedule of three to four nights a week. During the rehearsals is where the actors will have to develop their characters, learn the lines, songs and choreography that is necessary for this musical. Along with working with the actors, Ray also must put together the scenery for the musical in with help from the Tech Director, Josh Davis. Josh Davis will construct the set for the musical, which Ray will add the finishing touches such as painting, props and more. On top of the set, he will also work on costumes and props the actors will need for the play. Included with the necessities for the play, Ray will also work on sound, music and lighting cues with Josh Davis.
On a personal-directing level, Ray states that he spends considerable time "reading the play to imagine what it needs to look like," "researching other productions" and also figuring out "how to best work with each actor to get the best performance and character development from each individual." All the prep work that goes into the musical is in hopes of getting the best show for the audience on opening night.
So much goes into directing a show and making it come together that only those with the most passion for theater would take on such a busy job. When asked about what he loves about theater, Ray said, "That's a challenging question. I think the thing about theatre that interests me most on a personal level is the fact that I can 'try on' different characters." As an actor himself, Ray states how he can be things he could not be in real life, and he enjoys the connection made between the actor and the audience. "That energy is something that my spirit and my soul feeds on. When I am performing, I am lifted out of me for a while, and I get to be connected to the people in the audience in an odd, but wonderful, metaphysical sort of way. It makes me feel alive and exhilarated." As a director, he finds his fulfillment because he loves being able to bring that same opportunity and share it with the students, community and the audiences.
Those that are interested in working with the musical, but not necessarily be center stage, can help with locating props needed for the musical, putting the set together as well as backstage help during the show. Extra hands are always needed, and those interested can contact Dr. Brian Ray through his email: bray@abac.edu. For those interested in auditions for ABAC's productions, the next show will not occur until the Fall of 2020, as ABAC produces one show per academic year. There are auditions for shows at the Tift Theatre in the meantime, for the musical, "Pippin," which will be in the early summer, the kid's camp production of, "Cinderella" and a late summer comedy, "A Night in Province." For more information on the auditions at the Tift Theatre, you can contact Dr. Brian Ray through his email. The Spitfire Grill will be presented on March 26, 27 and 28 at 7:00 p.m. located at Howard Auditorium here on campus.

Preacher Arrested for Saying Homosexuality is a Sin in England
Friday, July 05, 2013 | Coronavirus →
By Justin Sarachik, Christian Post Reporter Follow | Friday, July 05, 2013
A preacher was arrested on a public sidewalk in front of the Center Court Complex during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in England after a woman called the police to complain she was offended by the minister's words on homosexuality.
Tony Miano, currently a pastor and formerly a Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff, was fingerprinted, interrogated, and had DNA samples drawn after speaking on 1 Thessalonians, which mentions "sexual immorality" and cites homosexuality along with "fornication" as examples of what is against "God's law."
He was traveling to the U.K. with Sports Fan Outreach International as part of a mission to spread the good news to England.
"As the questioning started it became apparent that the interrogation was about more than the incident that took place in the street, but what I believed and how I think," Tony Miano said in an interview with The Telegraph. "I was being interrogated about my thoughts … that is the basic definition of thought police."
As a former officer of the law, Miano spoke about how arresting people based on actions and not what they believed is usually how the law works.
"It surprised me that it is possible for a person to be taken to jail for their thoughts," he continued. "It surprised me that here in the country that produced the Magna Carta, that an otherwise law-abiding person could lose his freedom because one person was offended by the content of my speech."
During Miano's interrogation he was asked all sorts of questions about his faith, some seeming more ridiculous and unnecessary as the next.
"It was surreal because I was interrogated about my faith in Jesus Christ," Miano told ChristianNews.net. "I was asked if I believe that homosexuality is a sin. I was asked what portion of the Bible I was reading. I was asked if a homosexual was hungry and walked up to me, would I give them something to eat."
Police then asked whether Miano would do it again, to which he replied "yes" because he was doing nothing that was against the law. The officers then told him there was nothing left to do but prosecute him.

I felt compelled to digress from my social media and sports analogy theme because I enjoy the occasional "good character and leadership" thread. Of course, observing good character and leadership can lead to success with our social media efforts! FYI, I'll give you a Captain America MOVIE SPOILER ALERT right now, also.
Toughness and Sense of Duty - The main character, Steve Rogers, is an undersized young man who spends a good deal of time getting beaten up by bullies. However, he never backs down because he knows that opens the door for more bullying. He also has an incredible sense of duty and obligation to serve in the war, so he keeps trying to enlist. He did not do this out of bravado. He earnestly wanted to fulfill his duty as a young American. Moral – Don't back down in tough situations (not to be confused with a misguided "win at all costs" attitude) and nurture a Sense of Duty to become a better spouse, parent, friend, employer or employee.
Thinking Outside the Box – Not everyone can be a poster child for athletics. However, sometimes having overwhelming strengths in one area can lead to weaknesses in other areas. We have all heard the expression "when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". At one point in the movie, the drill sergeant challenges recruits to capture the flag at the top of a pole. Everyone scrambles to climb the pole even though the sergeant states that nobody ever captures the flag. Steve Rogers observes the spectacle, waits for everyone to give up, then calmly goes over and pulls the pin at the bottom of the flag pole. The flag pole comes down, and he calmly "captures the flag" while it is lying on the ground within easy reach! Moral – Always look at a problem from multiple angles versus only from the standpoint of your strengths.
Protector – At one point in the movie, the commanding officer wants to prove to the doctor who the real soldier is. He has seen this soldier out-perform everyone during training. As a test, he throws a fake grenade among the recruits, and everyone scatters…including his ideal soldier! Steve Rogers thinks as a protector and covers the grenade with his own body. Moral – Sometimes the best comes out of us when we put others' needs and safety above our own.
Magnify Your Good Traits – The doctor in the movie spotted Steve Rogers because he saw a rare wholesomeness. He wasn't looking for strength because he knew his secret formula would magnify all traits. If a person already had strength, but was selfish, bullying or self-serving, then the negative traits would be magnified just as much. Instead, he focused on a recruit who was a self-sacrificing protector with a big heart and strong sense of duty. Moral: Each day we have the opportunity to focus on the good and make decisions or model behavior that could have a positive impact. Doing so could make us heroes to the people closest to us…or perhaps to a complete stranger.
Have you seen the movie yet? What did you think? If you could magnify any personal trait, what would it be?

WEATHER ALERT: Light snow and cold this afternoon
By Andrew McMillan
Published June 26, 2020 11:30 AM
Coal plant in downtown Colorado Springs to close in 2023
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Martin Drake power plant's days are numbered in downtown Colorado Springs; the board voted Friday in favor of shuttering the city's coal plant by 2023.
Officials have wanted to decommission the Drake power plant, one of only a few urban coal plants left in the country, for years; but a final timeline has also taken years of planning.
Friday, the CSU board voted 7-2 to close the Drake by 2023 and the Ray Nixon Plant, south of Colorado Springs, by 2030. CSU says it gets 416 megawatts of coal-fired power.
Instead, CSU will be relying on 500 megawatts of new wind energy, 150 megawatts of solar power, and more than 400 megawatts of battery storage.
According to an analysis by Strategen provided to CSU, decommissioning both of the plants and replacing them with wind energy could save customers more than $150 million.
Watch KRDO NewsChannel 13 tonight for more information and what the closures will mean for the city.

Tax payers and customers will be tricked again and of course they will have to pay higher rates!
Solar and Batteries? That's the way to power A CITY!

Coal plant in downtown Colorado Springs missed in 2024 when utility rates double.
new email old me says:
Best comment of the day.
Yet again Colorado springs City council proves their ineptitude and stupidity.
Viral Thoughts says:
So how about the study that said closing Nixon and Drake would increase utility rates by up to 14%. That is why they spent Millions on the scrubber system that was just finished at Drake.
I know there is a lot of interest in the land Drake sits on for more downtown development but also it will take 5-10 years to decommission the plant and mitigate the coal and hazardous waste contamination.
Wind and solar has become a joke. The costs are not worth the benefit. The only benefit is you "feel good". Rates and costs are higher. Not to mention the landfills are now being filled with old/damaged wind turbine blades that can't be recycled.

LocalResident says:
Don't worry, it will only cost $1 billion to remove the plant and clean up the site – all paid for by a utility rate increase.
TimeToGo says:
I'll breathlessly await my electricity rate reduction. This, combined with a similar reduction enacted for saving so much water, will assuredly lower my monthly utility bill. HAHAHAHA!!!!!
The only good news in this story is the timeline provided to sell my home and get the heck outta here.

Bye. Please don't come back. Ever.
higgins says:
So where is this new wind farm supposed to be put?
miked9746 says:
Better late than never, Colorado. These willfully ignorant conservative voters may not care about poisoning future generations, but the rest of us do.
NoShillZone says:
A slow phasing out of the power plants would seem like a more prudent plan.
Also keeping the existing coal plants in a state of standby for the first few years of the new power generation methods would be wise…..You never know what may happen and explaining why the city is in the dark will be hard to do and embarassing.
Better yet keep the coal plants until better more reliable proven technologies emerge…I just do not trust this current plan and I know I am far from being alone.

Michael Jackson's $300 Million Legacy | Fastweb
Michael Jackson's $300 Million Legacy
Lauren Bayne Anderson
Michael Jackson died Thursday after going into cardiac arrest, at the age of 50. While no one disputes he was the King of Pop, what you may not have known is that he was a big philanthropist — to the tune of $300 million -- to various charities. And a chunk of that went to scholarships. In fact, in the Millennium-Issue of the "Guinness Book Of Records" Jackson was recognized as the Pop Star who supports the most charity organizations. In 1986 Jackson gave $1.5 million to set up the "Michael Jackson UNCF Endowed Scholarship Fund", aimed at students majoring in performance art and communications, with money given each year to students attending a member United Negro College Fund college or university. The scholarship has helped hundreds of students attend college.
Jackson also contributed to the Cities and Schools Scholarship Fund and many other charities aimed at education and special needs children. The following is a list of some of the charities he publicly helped, taken from AllMichaelJackson.com:
AIDS Project L.A.
Big Brothers of Greater Los Angeles
BMI Foundation, Inc.— Support music education for gifted youngsters.

"The pilot of the heli should have stayed put. Likely, the operator of the 'drone*' would have eventually seen the heli and flown it away."
Unless it was Blue Thunder or Airwolf in whisper mode, anyone within a mile should have well aware there was a helicopter flying very low to the ground. They're not exactly quiet, and the drone operator is supposed to be in line of sight. Whether there really was a drone and/or who was at fault is far from clear yet, but it sounds like the helicopter instructor picked a very poor place for practising hover taxiing if they managed to hit a tree and the drone operator should have been very aware of the helicopter being there.

Q: How to pre-populate input field using Redux form I've been reading the Redux Form documentation about prepopulating a form with a set of initial values, however in the example on that page the values are fetched at the click of a button, while I need to have them right away when the page loads.
Below is what I have so far. I can receive the initial values as props in the render() method just fine, but then I'm not sure what to do to pass those values to the Field component...
import React from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form';
import { Redirect } from 'react-router-dom';

import requireAuth from '../components/hocs/requireAuth';

import { updateUserInfo } from '../actions/userActions';

class UserProfilePage extends React.Component {

    renderField( field ) {
        return(

                { field.label }
                <input type="text" { ...field.input } />

        );
    }

    render() {

        console.log( 'Initial values', this.props.initialValues );

        // Here's what this.props.initialValues looks like:
        // {
        //    first_name: 'John',
        //    last_name: 'Doe'
        // }

        return (
            <form>
                <Field
                    label="Your first name"
                    name="first_name"
                    component={ this.renderField } />
            </form>
        );
    }

}

UserProfilePage = connect(
    state => ({
        initialValues: state.currentUser.personal_info
    })
)( UserProfilePage );

UserProfilePage = reduxForm({
    form: 'UpdateProfileForm'
})( UserProfilePage );

export default requireAuth( UserProfilePage );

A: Wherever you are going to render UserProfilePage there pass it as prop such as:
import UserProfilePage form 'path/to/UserProfilePage';
<UserProfilePage
  {...otherProps}
  initialValues={{first_name: user.first_name}}
/>

And this way when the form renders the input with name as first_name will have the passed value

Bubba Watson had a two-shot lead going into the final round and sailed home to a 6-under 66 for a three-shot victory over second-placed Patrick Reed at the Hero World Challenge.
He left with a USD 1 million payoff and a firm grasp on No.4 in the world the rest of the year.
"I guess I've got to thank Jason Day for backing out. I have to thank the US government and passport office for getting Dakota (his daughter) a passport so we could be here," Watson said. "For us, it's a good ride, a fun ride."
Even if it didn't feel easy to him, it sure looked that way.
Watson didn't make a bogey all weekend until the final hole, when he jokingly asked NBC field reporter Notah Begay how many shots he needed to win. He played it safe and made bogey, and all that cost him was the tournament record.
Watson finished at 25-under 263, one shot from Jordan Spieth's record last year at Isleworth.
Reed also had a 66 to finish alone in second, moving him to No.10 in the world for the first time. Rickie Fowler had a 64 to finish third.
Spieth tried to stay in range and was three shots behind until he missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole and never converted many chances after that.
Watson seized control with seven birdies and an eagle on Saturday in ideal weather for a two-shot lead over Paul Casey, and he started fast with birdies on the second and third holes to keep his distance.
No one got closer than two shots all day, and as Fowler made a move with a 30 on the front nine, Watson answered with two straight birdies to start the back nine, and then it was a matter of finishing.
Justin Rose, who lives at Albany and has lingered at the bottom of the leaderboard all week, set the course record with a 62.
For Watson, the next step is to be a more consistent winner. This was the ninth victory worldwide in his career, and the second straight year he has won multiple times.
"I want my name to be close to that leaderboard every tournament, every year, so people are always talking about Bubba Watson, about how consistent he is and good he is," Watson said. "That's my whole focus right now, every year getting better and better."


The package provides the Soyombo script and the Soyombo symbol for LaTeX users. The script and the symbol were both developed in 1686 by the Mongolian monk and scholar Zanabazar. Soyombo script is modelled after Lantsa-Devanagari, and it combines the phonemic repertoire of Mongolian, Sanskrit, and Tibetan.
While the script is now little used, the symbol appears very widely (including the national flag).

Home/Business/WADA's World Anti-Doping Code is ratified
73 countries yesterday committed to the Code at the close of the the World Conference on Doping in Sport in Copenhagen. Take-up of the Code has a deadline – the first day of competition at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. And cycling features on this first day: the Olympics kicks off with a cycle road-race around Athens.
WADA's World Anti-Doping Code is ratified
UK Minister for Sport, Richard Caborn, was one of the first to sign the Copenhagen Declaration on Anti-Doping in Sport, the vehicle through which governments will recognise and support the World Anti-Doping Code.
The Code will see the harmonisation of anti-doping activities and processes across different countries and different sports, creating one definitive set of anti-doping rules and regulations covering testing procedures, banned substances and disciplinary sanctions.
The world of cycling has welcomed the code but the UCI, at least, still has reservations (see the link below).
Richard Callicott, CEO of UK Sport, said: "As the UK's national anti-doping organisation, we have continually stated that agreement on the Code would be the single most important step ever taken against the misuse of drugs in sport. The commitment shown to the Code at this conference by sport has been incredibly encouraging, highlighted by the fact that no organisations present opposed the Code. Governments, sports governing bodies, national anti-doping organisations and athletes have come together and agreed that the World Anti-Doping Code is the best way forward. The next stage is to continue this strong partnership approach to ensure its smooth implementation."

When the landmark marriage equality cases were argued in March, you turned the Internet red to send a clear, unequivocal message to the justices and your friends and family that you stand on the right side of history, and that they should too. Now it's time to send that message again – and we've made it easy for you to do that.
We launched one more way to help you to update your Facebook profile. Check out our Facebook app now or share one of our graphics telling your social network that you support marriage equality. Visit our new Supreme Court action center to sign a petition asking the justices to hand down a ruling for marriage equality or superimpose the red equal sign on your Twitter profile picture.
This is a crucial time to show your support for marriage equality. With only weeks left in the Supreme Court's term, the justices are set to issue their rulings on this year's cases any day now. It could be as early as this coming Monday – the next time the court will issue opinions in argued cases.

In this article I'm going to walk through the steps performed to automate my OL6 installations using PXE network installations. The setup is the same on RHEL6. In my case, all the servers (HTTP, TFTP and DHCP) reside on the same server (192.168.0.192).
It's probably a good idea to set SELinux to permissive and turn off the Linux firewall until you've got everything working. You can then tighten things up if you want.
Edit the "/etc/selinux/config" file, setting the following parameter value.
To make the installation media available from the HTTP server, create a new directory under the "/var/www/html" directory.
You can mount a DVD or ISO image and copy the files under the new directory, but it is easier to mount the ISO image of the installation media directly. You can do this by adding the following entry to the "/etc/fstab" file. Adjust the path to the media as required.
Start the application from the menu (Applications > System Tools > Kickstart), or run the system-config-kickstart command from the shell. Enter all the required installation choices and save the file under the "/var/www/html" directory.
The Kickstart Configurator doesn't handle the Logical Volume Manager (LVM), so if you want the installation to use the LVM you need to amend the resulting file. The available Kickstart options are listed here.
Alternatively, copy the "/root/anaconda-ks.cfg" file from a previous successful OL6/RHEL6 installation and amend it.
In the following section my Kickstart file is called ol6-112-server-ks.cfg and saved in the "/var/www/html" directory, making it available from "http://192.168.0.192/ol6-112-server-ks.cfg".
If the "/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf" file is missing, create it with the following contents. Remember to amend the "next-server" entry to point to your TFTP server.
Create or edit the "/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default" file to configure the boot menu.


Hello there A congregation of indie developers are selling a module of their games which includes some of the biggest impromptu games on the market. Gamers can designation their own value—from 1c to $1,000—meet a despatch of games that would finished for more remote $80 if sold separately. Anyone who buys the union can have in mind heartier almost themselves as expertly; customers can send any amount of their purchases to two important nonprofit groups. The mark-down, nicknamed the "Common Converge" close at hand the studios misleading, is certainly epic. The games included in the containerize are Zone of Goo, Gish, Lugaru, Aquaria, and Penumbra Overture. Each of these titles has proven to be a unalloyed cane, and the rate that five sequester studios are working together to burden them available to gamers benefit of be that as it may much they whim to earmark is unusual.

Book Review: 'Wolf (A Jessica James Mystery, #1)' by Kelly Oliver
'Dirty office, dirty mind'
Tennessee author Kelly Oliver earned her degrees from Gonzaga University and Northwestern University and is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University. She has published numerous articles on such important issues as the refugee crisis, reproductive technologies, campus rape, women and the media, the environment, and animals in The New York Times and The Los Angeles Review of Books, as well as being featured on ABC news, CSPAN books, and the Canadian Broadcasting Network. Her published books include both non-fiction and children's, young adult, and adult fiction such as this highly awarded Jessica James Mystery series, of which WOLF is Book 1. She lives in Nashville.
In establishing a lead character for a projected series, Kelly wisely and gradually opens this new saga with an inviting portrait of her Jessica James – 'Lying atop a desk in an otherwise empty attic, Jessica James gnawed on her jagged fingernail and wondered how her first year in graduate school had become such a tinderbox. She closed her eyes and imagined a fitting demise for the thesis advisor whose Birkenstocks had stomped on her dream of getting an advanced degree: a quick defenestration, a slow poison, or a hard bludgeon to his fat ugly head with the blunt side of an axe. Professor Baldrick Wolfgang Schmutzig, "Preeminent Philosopher" and World-Class Dickhead. The wolf had insulted her for the last time.' Jessica's quirky personality unfolds, and we discover the professor is the Wolf of the series!
Kelly's writing style is a fine blend of raw humor with tense tale spinning that makes this mystery series opener a complete pleasure to read: laugh a lot at her language choices and similes while deeply inhaling her well-paced mystery. She provides a very succinct and useful summary invitation into her world – 'You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl! Jessica James is broke and counting down the days until she can defend her philosophy thesis. Desperate to get out of her grubby attic digs, she and her friends break into her professor's office… only to find her adviser dead in the tub. Scoping the crime scene for clues, she leaves evidence that makes her both a suspect and a target. Suspecting the school's Russian janitor of doing more than sweeping the floors, Jessica mounts an investigation to clear her name. And when her ragtag posse helps her uncover a related date drug scandal, repeated attempts on her drink make her fear she's the next on the killer's to-do list. Can Jessica unmask the murderer before her degree gets buried six-feet-under?'
Kelly Oliver continues to grow as one of our more important authors today – that rare ability to focus our attention on social matters, while at the same time offering novels such as this very fine one to enhance our reading pleasures and entertainment. Very highly recommended.


Mia will make an excellent companion to almost any family including first time dog owners. Her foster family reports that she has the most excellent house manners. Mia has a bit of arthritis in her front legs which gives her a limp and will require some ongoing medications which she takes like a total champ. Her foster mom likes to think that bounce in her step matches her sunny disposition. She is still a spunky little girl that likes to go for easy strolls, carry a ball around and play with her foster brother. She is also happy to just settle and hang out whenever her humans want as long as there is a cozy, soft spot to lay on.


Multicellgenome lab analyze the diversity of a group of animals that are crucial to understand the origin of bilaterian symmetry: the Xenacoelomorpha, a group of morphologically simple worms that are known to occupy a pivotal phylogenetic position between non-bilaterian and bilaterian animals.
The transition from non-bilaterian to bilaterians is considered a major step in animal evolution, since the bilaterian symmetry provided more complex body plans and most of the extant animal diversity (only 3-4 animal phyla are non-bilaterian). Thus, to better understand this transition, Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo and colleagues analyzed, using molecular data from DNA barcoding projects, the marine diversity of the Xenacoelomorpha.
Their results show that one group of xenacoelomorphs, the acoels, have a higher diversity than previously known, with many unknown taxa still to be described. These include many species living in planktonic habitats, an habitat that was thought to have few acoel species. They also report a novel acoel lineage, present in deep-sea environments, that represent the earliest-branching acoel clade, and thus, key to understand the last acoel ancestor. Overall, these data suggest there is a need to sample deep-sea habitats if we want to better understand animal diversity.

Today we are talking with Michael Marcial. Michael is the creator of the 5 Figure Workweek which is a Facebook based mastermind community with about 3400 members. He created this community because he knew there were other people out there, like him, who were looking to make a deeper impact while making money. His mastermind does not have a deep tech stack. He likes to keep things simple and uses Facebook as a base tool for his business.
Understanding the result he can deliver by them working with him.
This deep understanding has allowed him to identify the technology needed in his business to support these pillars. He doesn't need tools that overcomplicate. He doesn't need tons of landing pages or funnels. Earlier this month, he ran an in person mastermind with nothing more than a paypal link → because he built his PERSONAL brand and made PERSONAL connections.
I haven't forgotten that the very first audio message that I received in Facebook messenger was from Michael. And there was something about that audio message, adding his voice to the message, that made it so much easier to connect with the message and him. Michael uses the tech he NEEDS not what someone else tells him to use.
In his own self confidence it started working even though it was different. He started to notice a shift in the type of people he was talking to. They were movers and shakers and innovators. He became peers with these people and people HE was FOLLOWING.
One thing that he noticed was many of them showed up well with their online presence and branding but they didn't really have the results they were showcasing. If we aren't getting the same results with our own program, aren't we just leading our followers to failure?
Michael uses tech as SUPPORT for his VISION. The 5 Figure Workweek is a PAID Facebook community that grows through affiliates. When Michael realised that an affiliate program was the perfect way to grow the 5 Figure Workweek, it was time to find a tool that resonated with him and that accomplished this one task… And this brought him to ClickFunnels where he implemented the affiliate management constructs.
In growing his mastermind community, the connections he was making was on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. He knew he was not going to be able to keep that up so he created the Facebook Group so it could be all in one place. He also knew if we was going to GROW he couldn't do it alone. So he created a something that took care of his people AND helped him to grow!
The ClickFunnels "funnel" that his affiliates send people to is simply three pages: a welcome page, a registration page, and a thank you page. That's it. He doesn't use emails and ads and noise — he relies on his core belief that the MOST IMPORTANT thing to do is to CONNECT with people.
For Michael, connection, authenticity, and keeping it simple is what he needs to do so that he can deliver what it is he wants to deliver to his people. He loves the format and vibe his mastermind has created because people are sharing things they are doing that are working and things that aren't working so everyone can learn from each other. They do interviews and Q&A sessions. He wants to equip his people to reach more of their people to provide more of their genius.
Michael is also very transparent is what he is doing. He's always showing his hand so to speak. An example of this is his Facebook Live videos where he has a format to each of this videos so that people know what he talking about and what they can expect at the end if he has something to offer them. It lets people know, once they get used to that format, that if they see he's live and they have missed a few minutes that they can really jump in at any time. It's not salesy or spammy, it's genuine.
Don't go live just to be going live. Go live with intention, connection, and purpose. Know your people and know what will serve them and your capacity to deliver on that. If you continually put yourself in the shoes of your ideal client, if you really KNOW them, you can speak to that and offer amazing services, products, offers, etc. in ways that no one else can.

Life of Ahmed Dawood
Ahmed Dawood, one of the pioneering industrialists of Pakistan, was born in Bantva, a small town in Kathiawar, British India, in 1905. His father, Dawood Yaqoob, was a trader and a prominent person of the Bantva family. The family originally belonged to Gandhi cast, but when they migrated to Pakistan, they were known as 'Dawoods.' His grandfather's name was Yaqoob Gandhi and great Grandfather's name was Abu Gandhi.
Ahmed Dawood childhood was very different from other children. Since very few people used to go to schools back then, Ahmed Dawood was also not inclined towards studying and only received education till grade III. He, along with his brothers studied in a government school of Bantva where monthly fees was just 1 ana. His ancestors/forefathers were traders for a very long time, and ultimately, Ahmed Dawood also got involved in trading.
Ahmed Dawood and his siblings were brought up in a religious atmosphere. His mother, Hanifa Bai, was the leading lady of the house, and granted complete autonomy to her children. Since childhood, Ahmed Dawood had an ambitious nature. He loved to work and was sent to stay with his maternal grandfather, Abdul Ghani Haji Noor Muhammad, so that he could learn some work. At that time, his was only 12 years old.
Abdul Ghani used to trade cotton yarn, wheat and grains in a small area of district Mysore. Ahmed Dawood worked in his nana's shop for a brief period of 1 or 2 years from where he got the basic training of trade. Upon seeing his passion, Abdul Ghani sent Ahmed Dawood to his business partner Hashim Haji Ghani in Shimoga (Maysore). Here, Ahmed Dawood worked for 1 or 2 years in his shop tirelessly. After some time, with the consent of Abdul Ghani, Ahmed Dawood was transferred from Shimoga to Kenawali (Madras) to another branch with more responsibilities.
After the death of his father, Ahmed Dawood migrated to Bombay and started his own business at the age of 15. Under the supervision of his grandfather, Ahmed Dawood opened a shop in Hanuman Building situated in Tambakata. He named it after his youngest brother Suleman and himself – MESSRS. Suleman Ahmed.
The family made the transition from business to industry, first establishing Dawood Cotton Mills Limited in 1952. The industry expanded rapidly. In 1959, the family purchased Burewala Textile Mills, a cotton textile mill with its own ginning factory, and in 1969 established Dillon, which manufactured nylon and synthetic yam. Their last textile venture was Lawrencepur Woolen Mills. In East Pakistan, Ahmed Dawood ran Karnaphuli Paper and Chemical Mill profitably till the emergence of Bangladesh. Karnaphuli Paper and Chemical Mill was the first mill in the world to make paper from bamboo. Karnaphuli Jute Mills Ltd was also established in East Pakistan which was managed by the Dawood family. The strategy of diversification was marked by the setting up of Dawood Hercules Chemicals (Urea fertilizer), followed by Transpak (baby food, toothpaste, toothbrushes and other consumer goods), Dawood Yamaha (Motorcycles), Dawlance (refrigerators and microwaves), Descon Engineering (construction), and Meiji Biscuits.
Ahmed Dawood was also the founder trustee of Al-Shifa Eye Hospital to which his Foundation has contributed more than Rs. 15 million. He also founded The Dawood Foundation in 1961 through which he established Dawood Engineering College in Karachi. In the early days, some of the subjects taught in this College were not being taught in any other university/college anywhere in Pakistan. Even after nationalization of this College, he provided casual financial aid to the institution. It is still a leading institution of technical education. The Foundation runs schools and other charitable institutions.
He was one of the key members to bring Memon community together and help the community. The community also formed Memon Bank in Kharadar area of Karachi. As a philanthropist, Seth Ahmed Dawood has made immense contributions in education and welfare services. He left Pakistan for a couple of years during which period he did exploratory work in the USA in the field of oil exploration. However, he returned home in 1977.
He led a long eventful life and saw many ups and downs in his business. He died in January 2002 at the age of 97.

Updated May 30, 2016, 10:28 am IST
The child had multiple holes in the heart.
The child was having repeated respiratory tract infection since few months of birth.
New Delhi: In the first-of-its kind surgery in Western UP, a team of surgeons were able to conduct a complex and rare pediatric heart operation on a 9-month-old baby.
Mathura's Nayati multi super specialty hospital announced successful life changing pediatric cardiac surgery on the child, who had multiple holes in the heart.
Master Devender, son of Mr. Govind Singh, was having repeated respiratory tract infection since few months of birth. At 7th month, child had severe breathlessness, cough for which patient was seen by local pediatrician who detected abnormal sounds from the heart along with pneumonia which made him to refer to doctors at Delhi.
After thorough evaluation, the child was treated for pneumonia and also diagnosed to have multiple holes in the heart both at atrial and ventricular level along with abnormal communication between major arteries of the heart along with narrowing of the blood vessel going to the left lung called "ACHD-ASD-VSD-PDA with LPA stenosis."
Dr. Venugopal Ram Rao, Chairman of Nayati Centre for Cardiac Sciences stated "This is a historic Pediatric Cardiac surgery being performed in Western U.P, which was earlier done only in very few Cardiac centers in Delhi-NCR area. The child was operated successfully and underwent Intracardiac Repair with closure of holes, closing of abnormal communication (PDA) and enlarging the narrowed blood vessel leading to left lung with assistance of heart lung machine. The child was shifted to post OP cardiac surgical ICU and was removed from Ventilator within few hours."
"In past 6 weeks, our team has operated upon more than half a dozen cases of Pediatric cardiac surgeries successfully. We had two blue baby syndromes (TOF-Tetrology of Fallot), multiple holes in the heart with abnormal connection in a patient who had heart on the right side of chest (Dextrocardiac - Multiple VSD - ASD - PDA with severe Pulmonary Hypertension), holes in the heart of siblings of a same family. Each one of them was unique, challenging and complicated" he further said.

Samsung could sell its firs tablet with a 4K Ultra HD display by the end of 2014. But the company isn't waiting until then to build a 4K tablet. In fact, it's already made one.
The folks at TechRadar spotted the tablet at French Open event.
The tablet is said to have a 12 inch, ultra HD display and at this point it's just a reference device for mobile operators and others that want to test and demonstrate their ability to stream high quality video.
Samsung's tablet is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, but TechRadar suggests that by the time Samsung is actually read to ship tablets with 4K screens they'll probably be powered by Snapdragon 805 chips which include better support for upscaling 720p and 1080p video to 4K resolutions.
I'm still blown away by the screen in the Tab Pro 8.4.
It makes me wonder if it is even necessary to have a 4k display in a tablet, but hey go for it.
Just notice how you need current gen hardware to support them.
I really don't see the point in a screen like this on mobile devices at least until battery tech improves exponentially.
This 4k tablet is of size of 12″. Its pixel density is lower than 5″ FHD smart phones (and exactly like 6″ FHD phones). Its pixel density is actually quite standard.
As for the battery needs – it shouldn't be worse than a FHD 6″ phone as there is a room for more than 4 times the size of the phone's battery.

Millions of Americans have discovered that IRA's are one of the best savings instruments available today. More people than ever before are now eligible to take advantage of the incredible tax advantages available through IRAs.
What makes IRA's such great savings instruments is the special federal tax laws governing the taxation of amounts earned within an IRA. Earnings within Traditional IRA's are generally not taxed until they are distributed from the Traditional IRA. Earnings within ROTH IRA's and the Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, are generally not subject to any federal taxes. What's more, contributions to Traditional IRA's are tax deductible for many taxpayers. Over time, these special tax features can result in significantly larger IRA savings accumulations than what can be accomplished in ordinary savings instruments.
Anyone who is under age 70 1/2 and has earned income can contribute to a Traditional IRA. Contributions may be tax-deductible, and taxes on earnings are deferred until you withdraw funds from the account, thus giving your investments the opportunity to compound faster. After the age of 70 1/2, account holders are required to begin to withdraw money from their account.
A convenient way to save for retirement, the Roth IRA may offer greater tax savings and withdrawal flexibility than a Traditional IRA. There are no mandatory annual distribution requirements, and you may continue contributing to your Roth IRA beyond age 70 1/2. Eligibility depends on income.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-exempt trust or custodial account established exclusively for the purpose of paying or reimbursing qualified medical expenses of you, your spouse, and/or your dependents.
A Coverdell Education Savings Account, formally known as an Education IRA, is an education savings plan set up and managed by a parent or guardian for the benefit of a minor. Amounts deposited in the account grow tax-free until distributed, and the child will not owe tax on any withdrawal for qualified primary, secondary and/or higher education expenses.
