Microsoft's browser share reduced
This week the European Commission fined Microsoft €561 million ($732 million) for failing to live up to a previous legal agreement.
As the New York Times reported it, "the penalty Wednesday stemmed from an antitrust settlement in 2009 that called on Microsoft to give Windows users in Europe a choice of Web browsers, instead of pushing them to Microsoft's Internet Explorer." The original agreement stipulated that Microsoft would provide PC users a Browser Choice Screen (BCS) that would easily allow them to choose from a multitude of browsers.
Without commenting on the legalities involved (I'm not a lawyer), I think there are at least two interesting dimensions to this case. First, the transgression itself could have been avoided. Microsoft admitted this itself in a statement issued on July 17, 2012: "Due to a technical error, we missed delivering the BCS software to PCs that came with the service pack 1 update to Windows 7."
The company's statement went on to say that "while we believed when we filed our most recent compliance report in December 2011 that we were distributing the BCS software to all relevant PCs as required, we learned recently that we've missed serving the BCS software to the roughly 28 million PCs running Windows 7 SP1." Subsequently, today Microsoft took responsibility for the error. Clearly some execution issues around SP1 created a needless violation.
Second, and more interestingly, the browser environment looks very different today than it did in the mid-2000s (when the European Commission pursued its investigations) or in December, 2009 (when the EC and Microsoft reached their legal settlement). According to StatCounter – a web tracking site that samples more than 15 billion page views per month collected from across more than 3 million websites - Microsoft Internet Explorer traffic constituted 51.84% of European browser traffic in December, 2008, but only 24.36% in December, 2012.
StatCounter's isn't the only method of measuring browser usage. But looking at a number of different measures, we see that we're living in an era of browser diversity. While the StatCounter measures show Internet Explorer in third place (both globally and in Europe), two other sources show Internet Explorer in first – but heavily contested by Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Forrester.com's own web traffic. This data skews toward business users accessing our site from their offices, and further skews toward Forrester's client base. It yields the highest measure (53.09%) of IE usage but shows that usage is strongly contested by other browsers.
Self-reported usage of information workers. While tracking actual web analytics can be powerful, the self-reported usage (in this case, by information workers in Forrester's Forrsights Workforce Employee Survey, Q4 2012) offers a different view. We asked IWs to tell us which browser they, personally, use most frequently, and 40.19% said it was Internet Explorer.
Why is the browser market now so fragmented? We'll be exploring this issue in an upcoming report, but the reasons are legion. For enterprise (as opposed to pure consumer) usage, legacy business applications are often associated not just with Internet Explorer, but with specific versions (IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9). At the same time, certain public web sites (e.g. Google's properties, with Chrome) might perform differently when accessed via different browsers. And bring-your-own (BYO) behavior by workers extends not just to devices, but also to browsers (e.g. installing multiple browsers outside the one "sanctioned by IT") and to services (e.g. subscribing to Dropbox to help you do your job better).
Finally, I haven't even mentioned mobility here. The data in this blog post comes from the normative PC/Mac laptop/desktop analytics. But the right way to think about this market is to combine PCs, tablets, and smartphones into a single computing market. (I haven't done so here due to the contours of the European Commission case).
The bottom line is that browser diversity today has, by many measures, been achieved. In future posts and reports, we'll discuss how much this matters to I&O professionals and what they should be doing about it.

The 1997 Nottinghamshire County Council election was held on Thursday, 1 May 1997. The whole council was up for election and the result was the Labour Party retaining its control of the council.

This was the first County Council election not to include the City of Nottingham, which would become a unitary authority in 1998 and therefore no longer a part of the administrative county of Nottinghamshire. The boundaries of the electoral divisions remained the same however the loss of Nottingham meant that there were 25 fewer seats.

Can you believe that this journal challenge is already coming to an end?? It has gone by so fast! I am just LOVING the amazing journals that you all have put together and it makes me so happy to think of the future generations who will be able to look back on them someday!! So cool!!
Journal Prompt: What are some things that you are looking forward to? These can be monumental things or they can be silly little things too!
I had filled my page with these thin washi tape arrows to try and spur a journal prompt in my head. This is how my pages come together most of the time. I will either find something cute to add to a journal page and then journal based on it or I will be doodling or something and then a journal prompt will come to me. This is such a BIG month for my family so there are a lot of fun things that I am looking forward to. Another extension of this page could be things that you are NOT looking forward to. I can definitely make a whole list of those too (dentist appointment :P). I hope you all are enjoying this challenge as much as I have been. Leave a comment on this post checking in!! Are you still keeping up??
I'm all late :( but it's for a good cause... I had to go to the beach :) But I'm back to the challenge!
A few days behind, but still going!
I am still loving these challenges! I am loving the little book I am filling up! Thanks so much for hosting this!
And I'm still keeping up, even amidst the chaos of life. This has been one of my constants and I look forward to it every day.
Having a great time visiting other blogs, too, to see their pages!
I love love each day's prompts and your pages are always AWESOME!! Falling a little behind but hoping to catch up and will try to post at least some of my favorite pages in the flickr gallery. I've peeked a few times and everyone is doing such cool things with their prompts.
Thanks soooo much for making June a fun month for us, will miss it when over.
p.s. your arrows are great, I did this on a little card yesterday.


It has been reported that ibogaine interferes with somatic withdrawal reactions in rats chronically treated with morphine. The present experiments demonstrated that ibogaine also interferes with motivational withdrawal reactions and somatic withdrawal reactions in rats treated with morphine on only two occasions. On each of two conditioning trials, naloxone was administered 24 h following an injection of morphine. Four hours prior to each naloxone administration, rats were injected with either ibogaine or saline. In two experiments, ibogaine interfered with naloxone-precipitated withdrawal. In Experiment 1, ibogaine-treated rats displayed a weaker aversion to the withdrawal-paired chamber, and in Experiment 2, ibogaine-treated rats displayed fewer somatic withdrawal reactions than did saline treated rats.

From the mid-eighteenth century onwards, British women started travelling in any numbers to the East Indies, mostly to accompany husbands, brothers or fathers. Very little about them is recorded from the earlier years, about the remarkable journeys that they made and what drove them to travel those huge distances. Some kept journals, others wrote letters, and for the first time Patrick Wheeler tells their story in this fascinating and colourful history, exploring the little-known lives of these women and their experiences of life in India before the Raj. With a perceptive approach, Ribbons Among the Rajahs considers all aspects of womens lives in India, from the original discomfort of traversing the globe and the complexities of arrival through to creating a home in a tight-knit settlement community. It considers, too, the effects of the subservience of women to the needs of men and argues for the fusion of European and Indian cultures that existed before imperial times.
Throughout this book there are liberally scattered quotes from letters, journals and other writings of women who undertook this great adventure of seeking a new life in India, and this for me is the greatest achievement Patrick has made with this book due to the diligent research it must have required. It means the book can provide a framework for the historian wanting to learn more about the social history of the British living in India, with frequent input from primary sources, which really brings the whole subject to life. The fact that the whole book does this from the perspective of women is a breath of fresh air and means there is value in reading this book even if you have already gained a solid understanding of life of the British in India from elsewhere. Patrick also provides a comprehensive bibliography for those who wish to investigate further. I think this book will find most use in the hands of someone interested in social history of British India before the Raj (especially if they're interested in the women) or for family historians who are wanting an insight into ancestors who may have lived in India.
Family & Community Historical Research Society
Even before the Raj, many Europeans settled in India. Patrick Wheeler evokes life for upper-class women there, from struggles with heat and social protocol to a surprising sympathy for Indian culture. Extensive quotes from letters tell the women's story in their own words.
Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine, November 2017 - reviewed by Rosemary Collins
The writing is in-depth enough to interest those with some background knowledge but not so difficult as to put off casual readers. Themes, such as the changing attitudes to Indians, and the fears of life and death, run through each of the chapters and tie the book together. The bibliography is extensive and useful. There are some reproductions of images from the time, especially those painted by the women who's journals and letters were used, included, which give us some idea of the clothes worn and environment they lived in.
Read the complete review here.
Rosie Writes...
Wheeler tells of the voyage, household, matchmaking, domestic duties, and entertaining by British women in India between 1857 (the first Indian war of independence) and 1947 (the time of India's full independence) through the letters and diaries of the women themselves.
GoodReads, Kristine Fisher
Ribbons among the Rajahs is a fascinating account of a largely unknown or forgotten aspect of the British period in India, namely the lives of European women. Patrick Wheeler's starting point was when researching a family forbear he found virtually nothing about the life of his ancestor's wife. This has led to an extremely readable and detailed account of the mainly British women in India before the Indian Mutiny of 1857. He has done an incredible amount of painstaking research and uncovered many diaries and letters from these women and has woven this information into an well woven account of their lives. Wheeler deals with all aspects of life from the voyage out to India, their arrival, settling in and getting used to the sometimes strange aspects of life in India, social life, the daily routine, leisure activities and interaction with others, both British and Indian.
Throughout Wheeler quotes from a variety of sources to illustrate vividly the aspects of life experienced by the women. However, as Wheeler points out that most of the original information is from women "of the middle classes or above, despite the fact that there were soldiers' wives, servants and trades people,who also found their way out there. These latter women were mostly either illiterate,or disinclined to put pen to paper or the results have have long since been lost."
One of the sobering facts is that for almost all the women travelling to India it was a one-way ticket, with death often at a relatively young age from illness or childbirth. The journey itself for a single women could have cost an astronomical £15-20,000 in today's money and was generally arduous, taking somewhere between four and five months on an East Indiamen. The baggage allowance of 1-2 tons may seem generous but the list Wheeler includes of 'Necessaries for a Lady Proceeding to India' makes fascinating reading.
One interesting aspect of the era as detailed by Wheeler from his research is the much greater interaction or seeming equality with Indians (or at the very least tolerance and understanding of the Indians and their way of life) in the pre-Raj era than most readers will recognise from The Jewel in the Crown and similar Raj-era films or TV shows. Children born in India often became fluent in the language and quite Indianized. As Wheeler points out all this began to change "with the growing evangelism of the early Victorian era, as well as a parallel [political] encouragement towards greater British hegemony". The Christian proselytisers of the era were going to great lengths to convert Indian souls to Christianity, partly in the belief "that they were improving the wellbeing of a primitive society".
What started out by Patrick Wheeler as a genealogical investigation has turned into a very well crafted and interesting social history of the period which is thoroughly recommended. There is also an extensive bibliography.

Mourinho lauds Roma's fanbase loyalty in pre-Cremonese press conference
Jose Mourinho had nothing but high praise for Roma supporters who once again are going to pack a full Stadio Olimpico for Roma's second home game of the season with Cremonese on Monday night.
The Special One told reporters, "It's incredible, and that's why last time out I told you that the fans are our biggest win. The passion and loyalty of our fans are the foundation for our work and the club."
"We feel somewhat responsible for creating this empathy, for the development of this overwhelming passion," he added. "It's fantastic for all of us and Italian football as a whole. What our fans do for us is wonderful. It's our main motivation."
On Cremonese, the boss remarked, "I don't think of them as a team that just came up from Serie B. They have a clear style of play and that is thanks to their coach. They know how to play and they know how to impact the opponent's style of play."
"Matic and Wijnaldum are feeling good," Mourinho continued. "Everybody's available. Zalewski's great. El Shaarawy, too."
When asked about his decision to not insert any additional attacker in the second half to Salernitana-Roma, Mourinho commented, "The goal was to win the game. Nobody can expect Felix or Shomurodov to be at the level of our starting forwards. We don't have this privilege. The strength I had on the bench was the quality and experience of Matic and Wijnaldum, who entered the pitch and controlled the game."
On Andrea Belotti – Roma's priority for the attack – Mourinho remarked, "I don't know if we'll sign him. Since he's a free agent I can say something about him. What I say is: If it's true that he wants to join Roma so much, then I really love his attitude."
Mourinho also spoke about Lorenzo Pellegrini's versatility, "He was a player of great potential. And that player of great potential has truly become a great player, so great that he can play in more than three positions."
"He has great maturity, great footballing maturity. I can't promise you that Lorenzo will play every game in the midfield pivot. There are so many games that he will play all over the place – because he can."
When asked about what it feels like to win with Roma, Mourinho said, "If we had the ability and strength to win the Conference League, we have to give everything to win this year's Europa League."
On the importance of Cristante, "He's very important for all of us. Of course, we can have stability without him and Matic, but that also depends on whether the team can grow and the growth of other players. For example, I doubt that Pellegrini, 2-3 years ago, could have given us so much stability in the midfield."
"I can envision the team playing with Gini and Lorenzo in the midfield, without Cristante and Matic. We'd just have to see whether the team can remain compact defensively."
Zaniolo's agents advise him to leave Roma
Zaniolo's possible departure could reignite Roma's path to Davide Frattesi

When we started www.friendsofwater.com in January 2006, we set up to provide information and products to Save, Celebrate & Filter Water. We thought that the greatest demand would come for information and products to save water. That proved not to be correct. The marketplace quickly made it clear to us that what was most needed was more clear information and good products about water filtration for the home. So that is the direction we went.
It seemed clear that our approach of providing open, honest, communication, with thorough explanations of issues and products, was what customers wanted and appreciated. It is our impression that the whole industry has moved more toward explanations instead of hype since those days. Maybe we were a little part of that; which would be great.
It also seems that the industry has moved away from what was more prevalent those years back – a major reliance on charts that purported to show effectiveness and comparisons of different types of filters. While we understand that a lot of people think looking at these things give you the 'facts' and allows you to make good decisions, the real facts are that not all of those charts were realistic. A snapshot result in a lab in a controlled situation doesn't answer many questions about how filters will work over time and in varying situations. For example, no one knows what pharmaceuticals are in your water, let alone how they will interact. This will change all the time and vary by place. The real solution is the get the best filters you can to keep your water clean as situations vary.
Yes, you should learn what you can about the water where you live, and get the right filters. But select filters based on what they can do overall. And buy from a supplier who demonstrates some understanding of the issues, and is willing to support you when you need it.


ICF - What's happening in the coaching conversation with an executive at risk of derailing?
What's happening in the coaching conversation with an executive at risk of derailing?
Little is known about what happens in a coaching conversation when an executive is at risk of derailing. Consequently, the coach might be unsure how to manage such challenging engagements. This phenomenological study takes the coach's perspective in focusing on this gap in the evidence base. Findings highlight the importance of quickly tuning into the client's unconscious scripts and schemas manifesting the maladaptive behaviour and high emotion. Readiness for change is identified before applying appropriate strategies and interventions. The coach is however required to apply their skills in complex environments where the vagaries of organisational systems become exposed.


Planning a trip to Thailand? This Southeast Asian gem is a fusion of beach, culture and adventures. And, with a compelling history dating back 4,000 years – not to mention some of the most fascinating wildlife on the planet – The Land of Smiles promises an unforgettable holiday. Get your trip off to the best possible start with Flight Centre.

For a bespoke quote and up to the minute prices, call one of our Airfare Experts on 0800 587 0058 today.
For flights from the UK to Thailand, the most common direct route is from London to Bangkok which takes around 12 hours 15 minutes and lands at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Airlines that fly to Thailand direct include British Airways, Thai Airways and EVA Air, while others will include a stopover in the United Arab Emirates or one of the Asian hubs nearby such as Manila or Kuala Lumpur. Thailand's other popular holiday destination is the beach island of Phuket, with flights from London to Phuket International Airport usually including a stopover in Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur depending on the airline.
Thailand's main international airport is Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok, which handles over 50 million passengers annually. The country also has international airports serving its popular tourist islands as well, including Phuket Airport, Chiang Mai Airport and Krabi Airport.
British passport holders can holiday in Thailand for up to 30 days without a visa. Please note though that during your stay you are required by local law to carry your passport with you at all times. There have been incidents where tourists who have failed to produce their passport have been arrested. For travel on non-British passports, ask your consultant if you will require a visa.
Many of Thailand's ancient traditions have survived time and the country remains very spiritual. As a result, Buddhist shrines such as the famous Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, are dotted throughout the country and are well worth visiting.
Thailand's food is another highlight of this region. From Pad Thai to Tom Yam Goong, you won't eat a better dish outside of Thailand. Head to the streets to find some of the most authentic cuisine and while there, try your hand at bartering at the markets. Bartering is a way of life in Thailand and if you're good, you can walk away with a great bargain.
Speaking of bargains, Thai accommodation offers great value for money. Opt for an all-inclusive resort and you can experience a luxury holiday for a lot less. Away from the bustling streets of Bangkok and resorts of Phuket, Thailand really is a tropical paradise. Take a tour of the picturesque Phang Nga Bay and explore the postcard perfect Phi Phi islands.
For more on Thailand holidays check out our Thailand travel guide or ask your consultant about our Thailand holiday packages that include flights, accommodation and often other extras like tours or car hire.

Carl Breeveld (Paramaribo, 20 september 1955) is een Surinaamse politicus en theoloog.

Politiek
Breeveld is sinds 26 mei 2010 lid van de De Nationale Assemblée (DNA) namens de politieke partij Democratie en Ontwikkeling in Eenheid (DOE), waar hij sinds 30 mei 2009 voorzitter van is. Hij wordt weleens 'het geweten van het parlement' genoemd, mede doordat hij hamert op de noodzaak van de strijd tegen corruptie.

Achtergrond
In het verleden is Breeveld onder meer voorzitter geweest van de Surinaamse mannenorganisatie Man Mit' Man en steward bij de Surinaamse Luchtvaart Maatschappij. Breeveld heeft in België theologie gestudeerd.

Wan Famiri
Er is een film gemaakt door Geertjan Lassche over Carl en zijn broers Hans, Borger, Clarence en zijn zus Lucia die in december 2012 uitgezonden is op de Nederlandse televisie. De documentaire heet "Wan Famiri" en vertelt met de familieleden hoe zij als familie door één deur kunnen, ondanks de onderlinge politieke verschillen. De familie heeft overigens afstand genomen van de inhoud van de film, omdat het eindresultaat te weinig over de familie en te veel over Desi Bouterse en de Decembermoorden zou gaan.

Q: Cannot authenticate: HttpSession returned null object for SPRING_SECURITY_CONTEXT The Goal: I'd like to allow the user to access any page on my webapp, except for the /account page (unless they're logged in). I'd like this logging in process to be quite secure, and therefore have turned to using Spring Security in conjunction with the BCryptPasswordEncoder to handle this process. This webapp is being developed using Spring's pure-Java approach (no xml configurations whatsoever).
What Works: Going to /account correctly redirects the user to the /login page. The user can also correctly go to the / page without being redirected.
The Problem: I'm trying to configure Spring Security with my own custom UserDetailsService, but whenever I attempt to log in through the form on my JSP view, the loadUserByUsername(String username) method that I overwrote in said UserDetailsService does not appear to be called. In addition, it seems that when the user logs in with supposedly valid credentials, their authentication is not being stored in the Spring Security's current session and instead remain ROLE_ANONYMOUS.

A: From the log it looks like you are hitting an access denied on                 "/j_spring_security_check". That's understandable because you didn't mark it as unprotected. I think you may just be making a false assumption about the default login processing URL (/login with @Configuration iirc). If you post to "/login" instead does it work?

Qualcomm vs. MediaTek Round N+1 Countdown
Yang Ren
Qualcomm and MediaTek are the only two meaningful players in the smartphone baseband and application processor market. Samsung and Apple both have a strong presence but only support their own devices. Qualcomm and MediaTek are the only viable options for other smartphone OEMs like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. MediaTek is the market share leader regarding total units shipped, mainly in the mid to low-end devices. On the other hand, Qualcomm has a robust presence in the premium market and leads the market in terms of revenue.
MediaTek has been trying to push into the premium segment for several years, especially with the 5G proliferation and the launch of the Dimensity series last year. The push has only seen limited results so far, with only a handful of devices adopting the premium tier Dimensity 1000 processors in 2021. Earlier this week, the company announced the latest Dimensity 9000 processor, its latest effort to create a flagship SoC with a very long list of features and specifications. It is also the first piece of silicon built on TSMC's 4nm process node. Anandtech has a comprehensive introduction of the new SoC for anyone interested. Check out the Futurum Research article on why the Dimensity 9000 is not a legitimate premium SoC for those who might be cynical.
Qualcomm is not sitting still either. On November 30th, Qualcomm is expected to announce its latest Snapdragon SoC called 8Gx Gen 1. Some leaked information is available online, but we would like to wait for the official announcement before making any predictions. But given that Qualcomm announced a 2-year customer commitment for premium devices from all major Chinese smartphone OEMs only two weeks ago, the odds seem to be in Qualcomm's favor.

Indulge in rich Breyers® Brownie Batter Swirl Gelato. A premium mix of creamy vanilla gelato and chocolate brownie batter swirl. A true chocolate-lover's dream come true.
Breyers Gelato Indulgences combines creamy vanilla gelato with rich cookie dough chunks. It is the perfect way to take any moment from ordinary to extraordinary. Each flavor is composed of beautiful rosettes of creamy gelato, draped in luscious sauce and finished with gourmet toppings.
The only cookie dough piece of cookie dough in this mix was on the top and absolutely none in the mix!! I love the tasted of cookie dough and gelato, so it was disappointing to not get that great mix of tasted.


Microsoft's Jeff Raiker defended desktop applications, mocking of Google for "backtrack(ing) on what we've been saying and to offer things like Gears in order to be able to be offline and or take advantage of global computing power", reports Infoworld.
As if to support Raiker's statement, just minutes earlier the hot item on TechMeme was Google's Gmail offering IMAP. Yes, it's there, if you don't see it in your gmail account, log out and come back again.
Where's the irony here? IMAP is clearly beneficial only if you use a desktop email client* with your gmail account, which is exactly Raiker's point. And a bit of a personal irony: for over a decade I was a faithful Outlook user, mocking my friends who used web-based email (typically Yahoo) for their personal accounts. How could they live with such a dumb, slow service?
Well, times change: Outlook grew fat and slow, it needs a cornucopia of software fighting for CPU and memory: virus scanner, desktop search (Copernic), backup (Mozy), sync with other desktops (Foldershare), and who knows what else, all of which need updates that tend to fail … what a nightmare! I ditched the desktop and have never been more productive! I'm using Gmail natively, on the Web, and am quite happy with it, so IMAP means nothing to me. (Apparently I'm not alone, as evidenced by the 5-600 readers my client to Gmail migration guide written half a year ago is still getting every day). For all other productivity needs I use the Zoho Suite. Incidentally, little birdies are singing that Zoho Writer will soon have offline edit capabilities .
Seamless online/offline computing, as it should be.
*Update (10/24). This post was my quick first reaction late last night, when the news first hit (in fact before it became official news). As Marc Orchant correctly points out, IMAP may very well be useful even if you don't use a desktop email client, as it makes it really easy to use the client software on your mobile devices, and still have a sync'd Gmail on the Web.


This spherical powder has a wide range of uses, from 22-250 Remington to 375 H&H. It is simply ideal in the 30/06.
It delivers incredibly consistent charge weights through nearly any type of powder measure. H414 yields similar results to H4350 in most cartridges, although charge weights will vary.


· Sugar Production at the end of Nov, 2012 was 2.7% lower to the production same time last year. But with crushing starting well in Uttar Pradesh, which actually commenced late, the sugar production upto 15th December, 2012 has crossed the production achieved last year upto 15th Dec. 2011, and is more by 2%, at 49.06 lac tons against 48.15 lac tons last year same time.
· 455 mills are operational as on 15th Dec, 2012, 29 less as compared to 484 mills last year.
· Uttar Pradesh has already produced 10.33 lac tons of sugar. This is about 20% less than last year same time. Last year, 121 mills were operational as against 116 mills this year. This is because a few mills is East UP have to still start their crushing. With 8.56% sugar recovery till now, it is better than last year. ISMA is expecting a total sugarcane production of 140 mln tonne, of which 85-86 mln tons would be available to the sugar industry, at about 61% drawl.
· The UP State Govt. has declared an all time high SAP for sugarcane, which is Rs. 40/qtl higher than last year. With 17% hike in SAP over last year, the cane prices offered by sugar mill i.e. the SAP, are more lucrative than the prices offered by the local sweeteners. However, even though the UP mills could have a better capacity utilisation this year and reduce the average fixed costs, the historically high SAPs in UP, leading to high costs of production, is nullifying the expected benefits. The difference between prevalent ex- mill prices and the resultant cost of production in UP, could lead to losses to mills to the tune of Rs. 4000 crore, which might reflect in the form of cane price arrears in 2012-13. ISMA has estimated 79 lac tonne of sugar production in UP in 2012-13.
· Karnataka has produced 11 lac tons of sugar against 9.05 lac tonne of sugar last year.
· Tamil Nadu & Andhra Pradesh both have produced about 25% more sugar than last year till date. TN has produced 2 lac tonne with 29 nos. of operational mills, while Andhra Pradesh with lesser no. of operational mills has produced about 1.70 lac tonne of sugar with higher cane crush but little lesser reported recoveries as compared to last year.
· ISMA is expecting that sugar millers will pay about Rs.66,000 crore for the sugarcane during 2012-13. With lower sales realization and higher sugarcane payment to farmers, ISMA has already requested Govt. to increase the import duties on raw sugar from current level to the normal rate of 60%, so as to avoid cane price arrears during the season.
· ISMA also hopes that the Government will soon accept the Rangarajan Committee recommendations on reforms on sugar sales, which will help the industry in reducing losses on account of levy sugar procurement and removing regulated release mechanism so that mills can plan their financial outflows as per market conditions.

Unraveling the transcriptome of Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos) towards identification of novel genes involved in polyphenol biosynthesis

dc.description Philosophiae Doctor - PhD en_US
dc.description.abstract South Africa (SA) is home to one of the six floral kingdoms of the world, and hosts a very diverse flora comprising an astonishing ~30,000 species. Herbal medicines play an important role in many of the diverse cultures of this country. Yet, agricultural production systems for most of these species are missing, and medicinal plants are usually collected in the wild. The endemic medicinal plants of SA produce a wide range of rare medicinally active compounds, which could be developed into drugs. Knowledge on the genes involved in the biosynthesis of these compounds could not only promote establishment of plant production systems, but also their biotechnological exploitation. Transcriptomics has been revolutionized by Next Generation Sequencing technologies, which can cost-efficiently provide a lot of information on plant genes and biosynthetic pathways. This thesis focuses on the establishment of methodologies for high-throughput plant transcriptome research, including: 1) harvesting plant material suitable for high-quality RNA analysis from distant locations, 2) high-throughput, and inexpensive biochemical sample screening, 3) extraction of high-quality RNA from recalcitrant, polysaccharide- and polyphenol rich plant material, and 4) biocomputational analysis of Illumina sequencing data, including quality control and pre-processing of data, de novo assembly of reads, protein prediction and functional transcriptome annotation. Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) was chosen as the pilot plant, because it is one of the few indigenous SA medicinal plants that has been successfully cultivated as a commercial crop. It produces a wide range of phenolic compounds with health promoting properties (e.g. aspalathin and a phenylpropenoic acid glucoside with scientifically verified antidiabetic and cardioprotective effects). In the course of this study, seven rooibos transcriptomes were produced, assembled and functionally annotated, providing a first extensive dataset for identification of genes associated with economically important traits such as medicinal compound production, rooibos growth type characteristics and stress resistance. en_US

I could go on about this casino about the good points and the horrible points but the only really important point to consider is if you get lucky enough to win at their casino can you cash out your winnings? And in my case the answer is no. After dumping in a couple thousand dollars in losses I got lucky and hit for a few hundred dollars on two different slots. So I decided I wanted to withdrawal $500. After making me jump through hoops and giving me a run around for a couple of weeks they just went and locked me out of my account and kept my $637. Maybe it was a mistake but I can get no response from them after 4 days of trying. So if being able to get your money back is important to you, you might want to gamble elsewhere.
Yes I requested a payout on 11/14/18 and it was approved, but after over a month was told my bank all of a sudden was no longer on approved list. I checked 02/26/19, today, and they said for me to change banks told them if they could just put the money back onto my account. hope this helps others have a good year ahead.
Have been waiting for a payment since June, escalated and re-escalation numerous times, between Cool Cat and their sister site Royal Ace I am waiting on approximately 10,000., they had no problem taking my money immediately though.
Cool Cat Casino just a few days ago and ended that I had won $167,000.00. I completed all the necessary paperwork and submitted it to customer support. They sent back a reference number and a note that it would be reviewed and I would hear something within a two day business period of time. I sent back another email when those few days were gone and got another reference number assigned and two days before I could hear something. I am now on my 4th reference number and still another two days. Is this considered delaying the facts or do they not want to pay out what I won? I am anxious of course but now I'm wondering what kind of outfit this is and if I will ever see any of this money. I played on a 350% on my deposit of 200.00 with no cash out limit.
I have had the same issue I have been trying to get my documents processed since august and have been talking to customer support at least three times a week. It has never taken this long before.
I withdrew $295 on July 2nd and have not received it yet (8/31/17) then I withdrew $900.00 on July 14th, again no money as of 8/31/17. I do chats 4-5 a week without results.
I had made a deposit and won $2000 + dollars. Next thing you know i have a zero balance. They tell me they didnt receive the deposit on their end, however i have receipts. How is this acceptable.
I won a jackpot Feb. 2017 at Cool Cat Casino. I won $5000. I am waiting on my final payment of $1250. Their phone support is zero. Their live chat doesn't know anything! My payment has been escalated a bunch of times. I am now into 6 months and can not get them to pay me my final payment. Every payment I got from this casino has been a hassle. I have to hound them for every dime.. now my Vip status has been reduced. Which I don't care becauce I will never deposit here again.
My withdrawal request was approved in early May, after three weeks of submitting paperwork multiple times. My payment has been "escalated" three times with the finance department. I still have received nothing. One payout of $2250. That's it.
Over 3 months ago I finally won! Great news, or so I thought. Well before my withdrawl I submitted all paperwork and information needed to withdrawl if I ever won. I was notified 1 1/2 weeks later they had no paperwork. I re-submitted all necessary all paper work, drivers license, copy of any or all credit cards used, electric bill, and bank statement, authorization form. After another moth of endless calls and e mails, I have heard it all. Never received paperwork, paperwork incomplete, I faxed and e mailed no less than 8 times all my information. Finally, over six weeks ago I was approved for a much lower amount than I was due as I was playing only on my money, used no bonus, or special code, just deposited my money. I was due 1,800.00 and I'm getting (1,204.00)supposedly. So the whole process has been over 3 months and I refuse to play. I have deposited thousands of dollars, which comes out of my account in 2 seconds, but to not get what you are entitled to is a discrace. Worst experience ever. I have been given the run around long enough. What a horrible way to do a customer you call a VIP. And they say 24/7 customer support??? That's a joke it always goes to a voice mail.
Won about $300. Dollars on April 15th, the requested verification documents which I sent. I also sent several emails of which I got a reply , they assigned a ticket number and would respond within 24 hours ….which they never did.
I doubt I will ever see my winnings I'm just thankful that I did not have to invest a lot of money to find this out. Stay away from this casino instead try Lincoln , Slots Capital , winaday or Slot land they always pay and pay quickly.
I'm very concerned now whether I will ever get my money after reading everyone's comments here. I did a withdrawal on 3/23 for just under $1,000 and it is still sitting in pending status. I contacted them yesterday to ask why it had not been processed and was still sitting in my account and they told me it was because they were missing paperwork. They told me that they sent me an email several days before, but I have not ever received an email from them. So the agent confirmed the additional paperwork I needed to provide in order to "approve and process" my withdrawal so I supplied it. It's several days later and I still have not even received an acknowledgement that they have received the paperwork and when I try to use the live chat, nobody answers. This is ridiculous and I am concerned if they are going to disappear off the map before I get my money. Four months and up to process withdrawals is completely unacceptable and the communication and customer service are awful. I will never play there again.
I just requested a withdrawal, Daniel, on 3/13/18. Maybe they changed the payment system. I wasn't asked to submit any paperwork, the casino just stated, "Withdrawal accepted, you will receive a check in the mail". I figure it'll get to me between the 17-25th. I'll see how that goes. How long did yours take?
Been waiting since late Nov for my withdrawal requests, which had to be split into 4 since the limit is 2500 per. After sending all documentation 6 different times since given the run around of send it here, oh send it to this email, oh no send it here since we moved, etc… Have been told it's been escalated between 15-30 times now, which you'll learn they'll apply to each department – so review dept escalations, oh then it moves to finance which is a black hole and will stahl unless you get it escalated, oh and then processing department, and so on. The most recent line was that everything is now delayed due to their CFO having a heart attack since they are sooooo busy paying out money. Nearing 5 months now, and have to chase them down 2-3x each week and have a list of 18 names that I've been through.
I have been waiting on two withdrawal requests (total $4000) since August 2016. I contact them twice a week – most of the time I don't get a reply or response of any kind. At one point they had me re-do all my authorization paperwork again – to no avail. Still waiting and still getting no response. I had been a member for many years and payouts were prompt and hassle-free. Clearly something has changed!
Janice Nesbit on June 26, 2017.
I have been trying to get my payouts since March 2017, been getting stonewalled also…. been expedited numerous times to their processor. fun games but don't expect to actually receive winnings. I found another site and won and had the funds within 2 months.
I agree, I won $800 and requested withdrawal in October 2016, still waiting. Same old run around waiting on processor , and its been escalated several times.
I've played at CoolCat for years and received payouts with no problem until this last one – I was approved for a withdrawal of $2169 on Jan 4th and have been trying to find anyone who could tell me where it is. I've been told, 3 times now, that it was escalated (whatever that means) and it finally was on 2/7, after the chat operator told me that I hadn't been told more than once, I've been told it was in the "final stages" of processing several times when it had, apparently, not gone anywhere. I was recently told, very bluntly, that it would only be paid out by check even though it's been by wire for a long time. Today I was told it would be re-escalated and "should" go to the processor shortly.
Waiting for $1100 pay out since feb 2 sent all paper work did play through , the only email I can get from them is the automated a customer service rep will contact you within 1 business day . Still no contact.
4/13 received email from processing stating documents complete after sending 3x , no word on payout.
Still nothing Ive emailed several times no one ever comes to chat or answers phone , I don't even get the auto email reply most of the time now.
Had a withdrawal approved 24th DEC 2016 for $1442 and $150, escalated JAN 13 Still no money? Same thing happened a year ago and it took over two months to get paid. Gave them another try because I like their games but now again…no payout for almost two months. If you play here expect to wait for your payout. Want quick payout try Slots LV or Ignition Casino. One week payout max.
Finally got my payout on April6th from DEC 24th. They still owe me $150.
I have been playing and have two pending withdrawals – have been waiting since dec 27th and keep telling me it is coming – wire is choice bc supposed to be fast.
I received a check in mid December for over $1000. It was a hassle to receive and a headache of emails and chats and such. I then played several thousand dollars and I won over $2000, basically breaking even. Never received a check even though it was supposedly escalated. It has now been over 2 months.Now you cant even get in touch with them.
I too cashed out $1000 and $400 on the same day .This was Nov.14th 2016 faxed all documents was approved on Nov.15th 2016 and yet to get anything .Have faxed them numerous times and yet to get anything.
I signed up with a promised 1,000% bonus and when I deposited $35, guess what I got.. $35. When I wrote an email to them to ask why, I received an email back stating that I would be granted a $50 chip on the house for my inconvenience. No 1,000% bonus, but I was willing to take it. What other choices did I have? I promptly entered the bonus code and the site said that my account was excluded from the free $50 chip promotion. Tried calling got nothing. Emailed several times and always got the same response with the same tracking number.
August of this year i hit for 9 grand and guess what…havent seen a dime…all the info they requested was sent 5 times..approval was granted..and still nothing…i bothered them so much that they banned me from playing on all sites.
I was sent a email saying that my VIP status was upgraded and that I would receive faster payouts. Well I requested a $1000 withdrawal on November 30th and still haven't received anything. They keep telling me that FedEx hasn't sent out a tracking number for it yet but everyone knows that as soon as FedEx receives something it gets a tracking number. So after telling me this lie so many times they finally tell me that the processing center that they send the money to reaches a limit and can only process so much money at a time, then they have to wait before they can process more. So i asked them why would they tell me i would get faster payouts if they can't even guarantee that because of their processing center and of course they had no answer for that.
Did you get your money yet?
The fourth tim i switched the swift code N3 instead of 3N and it failed .
now they sy they have to start the process all over again.. its amazing how transparent they are. DONT patronize this casino unless your appetite includes frustration and angst. i will update if and when the cough up.
I have been waiting since August 18 for my check of just $250.00 from cool cat. I have called and tried live chat, both no one answers. I finally got a response from email saying I would hear back from a representative within 1 business day. They even gave me a reference number. I waited 10 days before emailing them back and immediately I got the same response with the same reference number. I don't think there is anybody there!!
I too have been waiting months for two separate withdrawal requests. I have emailed multiple times – one semi-literate response saying that I would hear back within 7 days – that was a month and half ago.
Used to be a good casino – years ago – now I won't ever go back.
Hello. All of the sites this company owns seem to be shut down. No chat, no telephone answer. Been waiting 3 months for withdrawal. Looks like they pulled the plug for now.
Hey did you really get paid?
I'm still waiting for $1115.00 and it's been almost 2 monthes..emailed with wondering why so long when terms and conditions say total 25 days for everything…no response back…quick to take your money but monthes to get your winnings..this is the 2nd time I've waited this long..will be looking someplace else to have fun..
Has anyone been able to cashout at coolcat on these 1 x playthrough deals??
it looks like they dont pay…. who can confirm ??
I've been waiting since August, with numerous Live Chats, emails, and calls (basically listening to music), except once I got thru, but it was Sunday morning and of course nothing could be done, but I was told the matter will be "escalated" which means nothing because I still haven't received my $$$.
I loved playing at Cool Cat. Was my favorite. They don't have a problem taking my deposits. I tried to withdrawal $1500.00. Sent all the documentation they asked for and, was denied. So I spent a few days spending it. Low and behold I get an email after they see I spent it telling me I could have the money. Now I'm not allowed to even play there or their sister sites.
I have been waiting almost 3 months for 315.00 $ I won 500 but they have to deduct the bonus so that leaves me with $315 however they told me that I deposited another deposit using a different bonus and had a few dollars more than I was supposed to therefore they deducted $340 from the 500 that they owed me!! Makes no sense!! When you send a live chat they talk to you for about five minutes and then that's it they ignore you and don't respond to any more of your questions.
I requested a payout of $2,000 on June 23, 2016 via bank wire which, according to Cool Cat's own websit, states this is the fastest way. I supplied all the required documents and they confirmed receipt of such documents. My payout was reviewed and authorized and I have still not received it.
I was told it had been sent to a third party for distribution since they were not a bank. It has been way too long! This was my first online casino and I loved it….. until now!
i really love playing at cool cat. im new to online gaming and ive played at a handful of casinos and this is my favorite so far. payouts are quick, support staff is really helfpul especially for a new person, and i really love the game selection. i highly reco!!

A lot of you have asked how Paul and I are managing with the language here in Hong Kong. Let me say first that 99.9% of the people I have been encountered in Hong Kong speak better English than I speak Chinese.
Hong Kong is officially a bilingual city with English and Chinese having equal status under The Basic Law (HK's constitution). As a result of British colonization, a lot of street and place names are English, especially on Hong Kong Island, and English is widely taught institutionally from age one upward.
It is certainly easy enough to get around Hong Kong with only English in your linguistic toolbox. Street signs are in both languages. Public transportation signage and announcements are always in both languages. Taxi drivers on the other hand rarely speak English. I have learned how to say the name of our apartment complex in Chinese and am always quite chuffed when I use it and it works. It helps to have your destination pinpointed on your mobile's maps or to have the amazing Hong Kong Taxi app.
Paul's meetings are 95% in English. The only time he has needed a translator for business is when he has been in mainland China or sometimes for public consultations in HK. Virtually all professions operate equally in English and Chinese.
Shopping offers up a mixed bag. I know not to expect any English from the small shopkeepers or markets. Sometimes I take along a picture if I am looking for something specific in the markets. In medium-sized stores like drug stores, there are about six clerks at the door saying "Hello, welcome" but I rarely get any service beyond that. I suspect it is because that is the extent of their English. In mall stores you will get fair to excellent English. Let me repeat, most people's English here is much better than my Chinese.
There are many, many areas where everything is only in Chinese, especially on the Kowloon side and into the New Territories where I think it would be very hard to live if you didn't speak the language. Even on the Island, neighbourhoods abound where signage for shops and goods is unilingual Chinese. This is especially perplexing when you don't recognize what those goods are, like in all the dried seafood shops on Des Vouex Road or the markets.
Des Voeux Road is filled with dried seafood shops and other exotic fare like dried locusts and snake skins, as well as Chinese tonics and herbal remedies.
I love this shop in Wan Chai with its spices and sauces and other goodies tucked away on the shelves. Its treasures are accessible to me because the owner's English is good.
A lot of the time, you really need to know what you are looking for. This is one of the oldest noodle-making shops in HK, but I would never have known it from the outside!
I have met ex-pats who have been here for 26 years and don't speak a word of Chinese. I can see how that would be entirely possible. Paul and I are managing alright, although there is no question that in a great many situations, context is completely missing.
I don't mean to categorically say that this is a bad thing, but the fact is, Hong Kong is becoming more and more Chinese. I can sense it, expats who have been here a while can see it, and locals tell me it's happening.
A case in point is the increasing lack of translation by the government, in spite of HK being officially bilingual. Many major policy announcements are made in Chinese only. The Chief Executive (the head guy here) has been criticized recently for having made, in the last year, 61 speeches in Chinese, 28 in English, and six delivered in both languages or offering translation. This compares to the previous head guy who delivered 49 speeches in both languages or with English translations, and nine in Chinese only. Coming from Ottawa, Canada where bilingualism was enforced – or else!! – it's not hard to see the rather loose translation of official bilingualism that exists here.
It trickles down from there. I confess that I have a terrible time understanding many young Chinese people speaking English, and I'm talking about some who are in the news a lot. While I can get the words, their sentence structure and line of thought can be totally confusing. I am now beyond being embarrassed asking young people to repeat what they have said; it happens all the time in banks or on the phone. I don't know what kind of English they are learning in school and university, but I can tell you it is not good. I remember reading in the South China Morning Post the "manifesto" of the Occupy protestors. There were so many grammatical and structural errors; it was run-on and repetitive and didn't a make a point, and I would have graded it a "C" at best.
No editing services needed here! This is a sign in a small private shop in Central.
While this is amusing to Anglophones, it is a sad statement about where English is going here. Hong Kong touts itself as being "Asia's world city" but pundits are increasingly calling it "just another Chinese city".
Having said all this, just about everyone here speaks way better English than I speak Chinese. There. I am deservedly self-chastised.
Love the blog on languages; and the pictures say a thousand words in any language! Anyone who has travelled to a foreign country knows how difficult it can be to do the simple things like make a phone call or purchase something, anything — and get your message across. It's a feat of charades and fractured language. So much fun!


To give your sports team or other team-oriented organization the exposure it needs to maximally succeed, team apparel, fan apparel, and promotional items are a major path to explore. "Team apparel" can have a broader meaning than what it is often thought of as, and anyone who applies a little creativity and brainstorming to the problem of "team awareness" will soon see the following three categories as key.
Customers are far more likely to remember a company that gave them a promotional item and far more likely to form a positive impression on the basis of it, than with other forms of marketing.
Custom embroidery is now a huge industry, with hundreds of companies competing online for your business. How do you know which service to select out of such a mass of options?
Designing and ordering a full teamwear collection for your sports team requires some careful planning. Team apparel can be a broader term than is often thought, but even when we refer specifically to what team members wear while "at play", there are still a variety of items to include.
Studies show that over 50% of those who receive a promotional item from a business end up doing business with that company - and that's a lot more than the average marketing technique yields. That's reason enough to use promotional items as an important component of your overall brand building strategy.
The ancient art of embroidery is also a major modern industry, run by high-tech machinery and computers. Custom embroidery gets consistently high marks from both consumers and companies who use it in their promotional products campaigns.
Modern screen printing techniques make it easy to produce large numbers of custom printed pieces of apparel for business use. In fact, screen printing, along with custom embroidery, ranks as one of the top two ways to both outfit your staff and create top-quality promotional products for your clients.
Undoubtedly, T-shirts are the single most popular clothing item that is typically screen printed today, and for good reason. They are relatively inexpensive, can be easily ordered in bulk, are ideal for marketing campaigns and promotional items, and are a culturally accepted place for expressing personal preferences and values.
Broadening The Meaning Of "Team Apparel"
We've already looked at the ways that custom designed team apparel can be used by your team members in a variety of ways in a previous blog. Here, we want to see how your team can use professional screen printing and custom embroidery services to broaden the definition of "team apparel" and benefit as a result.


A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowances to be made for a man who catches the ball when running if he tries to stop.
No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall come as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed.
A foul is striking the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3, 4, and such as described in Rule 5.
When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person touching it. He has a right to hold it unmolested for five seconds. In case of a dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game the umpire shall call a foul on that side.
The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In the case of a draw the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.
The original basket was a peach basket nailed to the wall of a gymnasium. This type of basket and its position, however, eventually proved impractical. In 1897, a board (later known as the backboard) was placed behind the basket to allow the ball to bounce off it during shots. The bottom of the basket was cut open to allow the ball to fall through in 1914, thereby eliminating the need to poke the ball out every time a goal was scored.
In 1921, the basket and backboard were moved two feet (60 cm) from the wall to stop players climbing the wall to score baskets. The basket and backboard were moved inwards a further two feet in 1940 to allow more movement underneath the basket without players going out of bounds.
The ball was originally 32 inches (81 cm) in diameter; this was reduced to 31 inches (79 cm) in 1931. A further reduction took place in 1935 to the current diameter of between 29½ and 30¼ inches (74.9 and 76.8 cm).
Naismith's original rules did not specify how many players were to be on the court. In 1900, five players became standard, and players that were substituted were not allowed to re-enter the game. Players were allowed to re-enter a game once from 1921, and twice from 1934; such restrictions on substitutions were abolished in 1945 when substitutions became unlimited. Coaching was originally prohibited during the game, but from 1949, coaches were allowed to address players during a time-out.
While originally a player was disqualified on his second foul, this limit became four fouls in 1911 and five fouls in 1945. This is the current limit in most forms of basketball, where the regulation part of the game (before any overtime periods) is 40 minutes. In games of four 12-minute periods, such as the National Basketball Association in the United States or the National Basketball League in Australia, a regulation game is 48 minutes; accordingly, a player is disqualified there on his sixth foul.
The first time restriction was introduced in 1933, where teams were required to advance the ball over the centre line within ten seconds of gaining possession. This rule remained until 2000, when FIBA reduced the requirement to eight seconds. NBA followed suit the following year.
The three-second rule, which prohibits offensive players from remaining in their opponents' restricted area for longer than three seconds, was introduced in 1936. A game central to this rule's introduction was that between the Universities of Kentucky and New York. Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp did not take one of his referees with him, despite being warned of discrepancies in officiating between the midwest and east by Notre Dame coach George Keogan, and the game became especially rough. The rule was adopted to reduce roughness in the area between big men; it is now considered to prevent tall players from gaining an advantage by waiting close to the basket. When the NBA started to allow zone defense in 2001, they also introduced the three-second rule for defensive players.
The shot clock was first introduced by the NBA in 1954, to increase the speed of play. Teams were then required to attempt a shot within twenty-four seconds of gaining possession, and the shot clock would be reset when the ball touched the basket's rim or the backboard, or the opponents gained possession. FIBA adopted a thirty-second shot clock two years later, resetting the clock when a shot was attempted. Women's basketball adopted a thirty-second clock in 1971. The NCAA adopted a forty-five-second shot clock for men and a thirty-second clock for women in 1985. FIBA reduced the shot clock to twenty-four seconds in 2000, and changed the clock's resetting to when the ball touched the rim of the basket. A missed shot where the shot clock expires while the ball is in the air constituted a violation. In 2003, this became legal, as long as the ball touched the rim.
Dribbling was not part of the original game, but was introduced in 1901. At the time, a player could only bounce the ball once, and could not shoot after he had dribbled. The definition of dribbling became the 'continuous passage of the ball' in 1909, allowing more than one bounce, and a player who had dribbled was then allowed to shoot.
Running with the ball ceased to be considered a foul in 1922, and became a violation, meaning that the only penalty was loss of possession. Striking the ball with the fist has also become a violation. From 1931, if a closely guarded player withheld the ball from play for five seconds, play was stopped and resumed with a jump ball; such a situation has since become a violation by the ball-carrier. Goaltending became a violation in 1945, and offensive goaltending in 1958.
Free throws were introduced shortly after basketball was invented. In 1895, the free throw line was officially placed fifteen feet (4.6 m) from the basket, prior to which most gymnasiums placed one twenty feet (6.1 m) from the basket. From 1924, players that received a foul were required to shoot their own free throws.
In 1997, the NBA introduced an arc of a 4-foot (1.22 m) radius around the basket, in which an offensive foul for charging could not be assessed. This was to prevent defensive players from attempting to draw an offensive foul on their opponents by standing underneath the basket.
While originally, only the number of goals was counted, and when free throws were introduced, they were considered a goal each, these were changed to two points for a field goal and one point for a free throw in 1896. The American Basketball Association introduced a three-point field goal, which was one scored from beyond the three-point field goal arc, when it began in 1967. FIBA introduced its three-point line 6.25 meters (20 ft 6 in) from the center of the basket in 1984.
The restricted area, also known as the free throw lane, had its width increased from 6 feet to 12 feet (1.8 to 3.7 m) in 1951. In 1956, FIBA adopted a trapezoidal lane, 3.6 metres (11 ft 10 in) wide at the free throw line and 6 metres (19 ft 8 in) In 1961, the NBA increased this width to 16 feet (4.9 m). Both these lanes have since remained.
Originally, there was one umpire to judge fouls and one referee to judge the ball; the tradition of calling one official the 'referee' and the other one or two the 'umpires' has remained, though now they both control all aspects of the game in equal rights. NBA introduced a third official in 1988, and FIBA did so afterwards, using it for the first time in international competition in 2006. The use of video evidence to inform referee's decisions has always been banned, except in the case of determining whether or not the last shot of a game was attempted before time expired. This exception was introduced by the NBA in 2002 and adopted by FIBA in 2006. The NCAA, however, has permitted instant replay for timing, the value of a field goal (two or three points), shot clock violations, and for purposes of disqualifying players because of unsportsmanlike conduct. In Italy's LEGA A, an American football-style coach's challenge is permitted to challenge (at the next dead ball) to challenge an official's call on any situation similar to the NCAA.
The centre jump ball that was used to restart a game after every successful field goal was eliminated in 1938, in favour of the ball being given to the non-scoring team from behind the end line where the goal was scored, in order to make play more continuous. The jump ball was still used to start the game and every period, and to restart the game after a held ball. However, the NBA stopped using the jump ball to start the second through fourth quarters in 1975, instead using a quarter-possession system where the loser of the jump ball takes the ball from the other end to start the second and third periods, while the winner of that jump ball takes the ball to start the fourth period from the other end of the court.
In 1981, the NCAA adopted the alternating possession system for all jump ball situations except the beginning of the game, and in 2003, FIBA adopted a similar rule, except for the start of the third period and over time. In 2004, the rule was changed in FIBA that the arrow applies for all situations after the opening tap.
In 1976, the NBA introduced a rule to allow teams to advance the ball to the center line following any legal time-out in the final two minutes of the game. FIBA followed suit in 2005.
The most recent International rules of basketball were approved on 31 March 2006 by FIBA and became effective as of 1 October that year.
There are eight rules encompassing fifty articles, covering equipment and facilities, regulations regarding teams, players, captains and coaches, playing regulations, violations, fouls and their penalties, special situations, and the officials and table officials. The rules also cover officials' signals, the scoresheet, protest procedure, classification of teams and television time-outs.

Review: Jess and Joe Forever at the Orange Tree Theatre
Orange Tree Theatre ⋄ 8th September - 8th October 2016
Sells itself as ice cream on a dull summer's day: Gillian Greer reviews Zoe Cooper's "beautifully crafted, sweet and succinct" new play.

Jess is a city girl who lives on artisanal scotch eggs. Joe is a country boy, digging holes with his Dad in the flat plains of Norfolk. As puberty upsets the natural order of things, an unlikely alliance is forged. But don't be fooled: Zoe Cooper's new play at The Orange Tree is far more than your average boy meets girl story. The love chronicled on the stage here is one of transformative magic, as the relationship between Jess and Joe helps them both to become everything they ever wanted to be.
Jess and Joe Forever is a that rare thing, a well-made play. Beautifully crafted, sweet and succinct, the story sells itself as ice cream on a dull summer's day, but is gradually revealed as something much more nutritious. In Derek Bond's canny production, the titular couple bound across a mud drenched stage, enthusiastically building up the story of their relationship. Tape recorders, microphones and remote light switches all aid in their elaborate reconstruction, but the artifice wavers, the narrative bends and breaks. The fragility of these characters, their convictions and their relationship shines through. The delicacy of the production is sometimes punctured by the overly enthusiastic dramaturgy (those microphones are pretty loud), but the intimacy of the space, set in the round with little room for Jess or Joe to hide, gently fans the tender flame of their young love.
Nicola Coughlan and Rhys Isaac-Jones capture the gracelessness of adolescence with gusto. Coughlan's performance may be the shrillest I've experienced in 2016, an honest to goodness compliment in the context of this show. Isaac-Jones is the picture of discomfort, all stooped and fidgeting, with limbs too long and voice too low. In a story that's about transformation: of mind, of soul, of body, these two adult performers realise that on-the-cusp physicality and navigate it deftly, and it's a joy to watch.
But if we're going to talk about this show, it's important that we talk about the bodies that perform it. Jess and Joe Forever is deceptive in its simplicity, for locked within the layers of sweetness and awkward love there is a powerful core: one of the characters is not who they appear to be. Far be it from me, a lowly, mouthy critic, to spoil the big reveal, but in our efforts to conceal the story's twist a much larger question goes unasked: should a transgender character be portrayed by a cis actor? (Sorry, that's probably a spoiler.) In a play that's primarily about discomfort in one's body, about realising and becoming your true self and opening up that self to those around you, does the play lose the strength of its convictions when the message doesn't carry through in practise?
Since The Danish Girl was released in cinemas last year, the topic of trans representation in popular culture has been a hot button one: why cast the likes of Eddie Redmayne and Jared Leto in roles that don't align with their own gender identities? The insistence is often that sufficient trans actors of considerable talent don't exist, some mealy mouthed reasoning considering that the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama launched their groundbreaking Transgender Acting course last year. Worse, some claim that a high profile actor will allow a movie to be financed, to reach a bigger audience, to get the transgender story and experience 'out there' to the normies.
So what of the theatre? We have no concerns of stardom, a production does not need to book Tom Cruise for a run at the Orange Tree. Naturally a left leaning, liberal medium, there is no concern of lynching or picket lines outside the theatre. I don't want to presume the lengths to which the production did or did not go to in order cast a transgender actor in the relevant role, but as the play opens up and reveals its butterfly-like beauty to us, it feels like a disservice to its message that the representation here does not match up.
Those who write and talk about the theatre love to wax lyrical about liveness. It's a vague notion to celebrate, I don't much consider the 'liveness' of my everyday life as I stand waiting for a cramped and sweaty tube. But one place where 'liveness' comes in handy is representation. We get to see Michelle Terry, in the flesh, roaring and commanding armies with the ferocity of any cock-endowed king. We get to see the cracked and fading femininity of Blanche DuBois and the tragedy that's locked within it. As Jess and Joe Forever unfurls its paper wings and learns to fly, we see a body that's pretending, not transformed. We stand and applaud a brave, triumphant story, but the subject's not invited to the party.
Jess and Joe Forever is on until 8th October 2016 at the Orange Tree Theatre. Click here for more details.
