The Sifa Hamam also belongs to the old traditional Turkish baths in Istanbul. No one knows exactly when this bath was constructed. The only historical evidence about the Sifa Hamam is that it was restored and opened for visitors in the end of the 18th century. Apart from this, the Sifa Hamam impresses with its unique architectural style and it is still a preferred place for relaxation and entertainment in the metropolitan city. The Sifa Hamam is located in one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Istanbul – the Sulatnahmet square and because of its key location it is visited by many tourists.
The hamam is only for male visitors. Women are not allowed there. All services provided there are suitable for men!
Visiting the Sifa Hamam, you will have a memorable Turkish bath experience. The building consists of three main sections – the cold room, the warm room and the hot room. There are also several spare rooms and special cabins where you can leave your possessions! Here you will enjoy an authentic Turkish bath experience. In the cold room you will be welcomed by the staff. In the entrance hall you will be asked to change your clothes and place them in the private cabinet arranged for you! You can place there your possessions too. Staying in the cold room you will get all the useful information related to your stay in the bath. You will be advised what to do while being in each room so that you can guarantee your comfortable stay.
After the cold room you will be introduced to the warm room. In this section you will have the chance to prepare yourself for the real experience in the Turkish bath. If you want you can rest and have a cup of traditional Turkish beverage. In the warm room you will also prepare your body for the heat in the hot room. The kind staff will be at your convenience at any time you want. They are professionals and have deep knowledge about all the procedures. They can also give you the best advice related to your health condition so that you can take the most of your stay in the Sifa Hamam. If you have any health problems or if you think that you can't stand the heat in the hot room – the temperature there is more than 50 C, you should let the staff know. They will not allow you to enter the hot room but you will not miss the relaxing atmosphere of the Turkish bath because they will offer a wide range of interesting activities that you can do while staying in the other sections of the bath.
Entering the hot room, you will be able to experience its unique atmosphere. A special team of therapists will take care of you during your stay. You can wash and peel your body. You can also try the typical Turkish soap massage. The feeling is just amazing! The only risk here is wanting to stay longer! There are also various other massages such as a peeling massage and a foam massage and no matter which one you choose, you will release the stress of the boring daily routine. In the hot room is provided also the special tellak service and you shouldn't miss it! In the hot room of the Sifa Hamam you can stay as long as you want. In the middle of the section you will find a small table where Turkish coffee and some other drinks are served! If you feel tired and exhausted because of the high temperatures, you can go to one of the spare rooms and have a nap.

Sabres' schedule revamped for next season
PITTSBURGH – The Buffalo Sabres' 2012-13 schedule reflects a big philosophy change. The Friday night home games, a staple for years, have dwindled to just four. As a result, the constant strain of playing back-to-back games has lessened.
The team only plays on consecutive days a franchise-low 11 times next season. They led the NHL in back-to-back sets the last two, playing 22 and 21.
"(Owner) Terry Pegula tasked us with getting the best possible schedule for our players, regardless of whether it meant sacrificing prime home weekend dates," Sabres president Ted Black said in a statement. "As such, our schedule-making requests and decisions this year were driven by a "Hockey-First" philosophy that sought to reduce back-to-back situations and maximize the amount of recovery time between games."
The Sabres have played the league's most back-to-back sets since 2005-06, and averaged 20 a season in their 41-year history. Just five of the 11 in 2012-13 take place after Jan. 1, four less than the same period last season
Clearly, with the Sabres filling the First Niagara Center each night, the team can afford to switch games to other nights. The Sabres have averaged 12 Friday home games a season since 2005-06.
The Sabres open the season and a three-game homestand Oct. 13 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. They play seven of the first 10 games at home, and then go on a season-long four-game road trip. It's the first time since 2001-02 the Sabres haven't played five or more consecutive road games.
Overall, they have nine Sunday dates next season, including four home ones, up from one. They also have nine home contests on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
In addition, the team's preferred start time is now 7 p.m. Friday games have been starting at 7:30 p.m.
The 82-game slate, released Thursday, has the same breakdown as the past four seasons: the Sabres play Northeast Division rivals six times (24 total), other Eastern Conference opponents four times (40 total) and Western Conference teams once, with three "at-large" contests – tilts against Chicago, Phoenix and San Jose – also added (18 total).
Other interesting home dates include a 5 p.m. New Year's Eve tilt against the Ottawa Senators, a 3:30 p.m. start versus the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 3 (Super Bowl Sunday), a visit from the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 5 and the regular-season finale April 13 against the Boston Bruins.

Q: Function app with time trigger, is triggered directly when enabled. How to prevent that I have a function app with a time trigger that should run once per night. The function looks similar to this:
    [FunctionName("XName")]
    public async Task RunAsync(
        [TimerTrigger("0 0 0 * * *", RunOnStartup = false)]
        TimerInfo myTimer)
    {
       ...
    }

Due to some reasons, this function can be needed to be disabled for some days and then enabled again. However, even if I have set RunOnStartup to be false, the function get triggered directly even if I have enabled it at 09.00 AM.
I want to stop that, what should I do?
P.S. I don't want to change in the Cron expression because there are no specific days or specific pattern for when the function should be disabled. It is quite a random thing.

A: You might want to check the IsPastDue property of the TimerInfo object. It ...

Gets a value indicating whether this timer invocation is due to a missed schedule occurrence.

The executions you're seeing might be because the platform thinks it missed the schedule occurrence because the function was disabled and is trying to make up for the lost occurrence(s).

The isPastDue property is true when the current function invocation is later than scheduled. For example, a function app restart might cause an invocation to be missed.

Source: Timer trigger for Azure Functions - usage
Use the IsPastDue property to determine if the trigger is current and only execute if IsPastDue is false.

Archive of Articles in the "2024 Elections" Category
At President Joe Biden's urging, the Democratic National Committee has picked a big and (in my opinion) a completely unnecessary fight with the state of New Hampshire. Last year, when the party met to decide which states would go first in the presidential primary calendar, Biden blindsided just about everyone with his own preferred schedule. Earlier, the party had announced there would be a free-for-all for states to apply for early primary slots, which was largely seen as a convenient way to demote Iowa from the early states, for multiple reasons (the largest being how incompetent they had been in 2020). This conventional wisdom held that one or perhaps even two other additional states would be elevated to the ranks of the early-voting states, again for multiple reasons. But few predicted that New Hampshire would be affected. This proved to be wrong, as Biden released his preferred schedule: South Carolina would be the "first in the nation" state, followed by Nevada and New Hampshire three days later (both voting on the same day). Yesterday, the party met again and instead of locking in Biden's new schedule, gave two states until June to comply with the new setup -- New Hampshire and Georgia (which was newly elevated into the ranks of early-voting states).
[ Posted Monday, January 23rd, 2023 – 16:34 UTC ]
Representative Ruben Gallego made some news today with his announcement that he is running for the 2024 Democratic nomination for a Senate seat in Arizona. If she were still a Democrat, this would be framed as Senator Kyrsten Sinema "drawing a challenger" or "being primaried" from within her own party, but since she became an Independent that is no longer true. With a Republican in the mix as well, there may wind up being a three-way contest for the seat. But then again, maybe not.
Friday Talking Points -- Biden's First Two Years
Two years ago today, Joseph Robinette Biden Junior was sworn in as the nation's 46th president. So how is he doing at his job? His approval rating in public opinion polls has generally improved since the midterm elections, hitting numbers he hasn't seen in a year. But those numbers are still south of 45 percent (on average), which is fairly common for a first-term president but certainly nothing to brag about.
Biden has had some notable successes as president, and some notable rocky patches as well. He entered office as the COVID-19 vaccines were becoming widely and freely available, and things seemed rosy on this front for his first year, only to get a lot grimmer as the Omicron strain hit much harder than any of the previous variants of the virus. All of a sudden we weren't done with COVID-19 and life didn't return to normal as expected. But since then, the virus has become almost an afterthought and didn't matter much to voters in the midterms (even though it had been predicted that it would be a major issue).
Biden's legislative accomplishments are more impressive than any president since Lyndon B. Johnson. True, Biden did have a Democratic Senate and House to work with, but both of those had historically-slender majorities -- L.B.J., for instance, had as many as 68 Democratic senators to work with. Biden only had 50 -- including two who loved the media spotlight so much they didn't care if they torpedoed Biden's agenda in major ways. Biden also managed to pass some major bills with bipartisan support, which is almost miraculous, these days.
Friday Talking Points -- Joe's Garage
With apologies to Frank Zappa, this week's big political story might be summed up as coming from "Joe's garage." But we'll get to all of that in a moment, down in the awards section (it shouldn't be any mystery which one he's going to get). First, though, let's take a look at the other momentous things that happened during the past week.
This column, of course, measures weeks from Friday afternoon to Friday afternoon. As we were writing last week, the House of Representatives was still deadlocked over who would become the next speaker. This continued far into the night, until Kevin McCarthy finally emerged victorious. Weakened, bloodied, diminished... but finally victorious.
The Big Difference
Attorney General Merrick Garland has now announced the appointment of a special counsel to look into President Joe Biden's apparent mishandling of classified documents. This bombshell hit the political world earlier today and everyone has been furiously reacting ever since. Personally, when we first heard the news (earlier in the week) that an organization that Biden created (after he left office as Barack Obama's vice president) had turned over classified documents to the National Archives, we took a "wait and see" approach to writing about it. Now that the other shoe has dropped in a dramatic way, though, it's time for some reactions.
Let The Race Begin!
The 2024 campaign has begun. Not the big one -- not the race for president, that already started when Donald Trump threw his hat in the ring laughably early, in a naked attempt to avoid justice. Instead, this one is closer to home for me. Representative Katie Porter announced today that she is running for Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat. Which means California may get the first truly open Senate race since 1992 (when Feinstein first got elected). And since it's California, there is no real question of a Republican winning the seat, since they are all but irrelevant out here.

Trump's Taxes To Be Released
[ Posted Tuesday, December 20th, 2022 – 18:06 UTC ]
As I write this, the news is just coming in from the House Ways and Means Committee -- Donald Trump's tax returns will be sent to the full House, meaning they will become public record.
I've been waiting all day to hear the outcome, and reading arguments both for and against this release in the media. And I have to say, the arguments for keeping Trump's tax returns private don't seem very convincing.
Aid Or Comfort
[ Posted Monday, December 19th, 2022 – 17:19 UTC ]
Today Donald Trump was publicly accused of four serious crimes by a unanimous vote of the House Select Committee on January 6th. The committee made referrals to the Department of Justice, and the committee will release both their final report and voluminous amounts of evidence in two days. For now, they released their "executive summary" of what the final report is going to say. This is unprecedented territory, but then so much of Trump's political career would also fit that description, so it's hardly unusual for him.
Friday Talking Points -- ($-AZ)
[ Posted Friday, December 9th, 2022 – 18:55 UTC ]
We had fully intended to begin today's column with the news from Georgia, to celebrate Senator Raphael Warnock's re-election. At some point, we would have gotten around to some snark directed at Joe Manchin, since he wouldn't be such a pivotal vote any more, given the 51-seat majority Democrats will now enjoy. And as an afterthought, we would have tossed in Kyrsten Sinema's name as well, since she deserves a heaping helping of snark as well.

06 October 2007 (The Inquirer) – It's not so much and archaeological story as it is a political one. The Philippine president attempts to revive ancient "ties" with India by citing Indian cultural influence by way of Srivijaya and Majapahit. I find it quite funny that the basis for reviving ties is not so much because of any historic ties with India per se (whatever "India" was in the past), but by the fact that Indian "culture" was transmitted to the Philippines. Which doesn't really say anything, does it?
The President was accorded full military honors when she arrived here on the second day of a three-day state visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations.
Indian President Pratibha Patil, India's first woman chief of state, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh were on hand to receive Ms Arroyo in elaborate ceremonies at the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Sanskrit for presidential palace), a magnificent colonial structure with massive columns, verandas and balconies incorporating traditional Indian motifs.
Ms Arroyo's visit here is the second in 10 years by a Philippine president. President Fidel Ramos visited India in 1997.
"India has played a very important influence on the culture of the Philippines way back before the Spanish colonized us, and we want to revive our cultural ties," Ms Arroyo said in brief remarks to reporters following her arrival.
Indian cultural influence reached the Philippines indirectly via two great Indo-Malayan empires which traded with the Philippines. The Sriwijaya Empire (7th to 13th centuries) based in Palembang, Sumatra, was a mix of Buddhism and Hinduism. The Majapahit Empire (1293 to 1527) was Hindu, and centered in Java in what is now Indonesia. Indian hegemony over Southeast Asia ended with the decline of the Majapahit in the 14th century and the rise of Islam.
Scholars believe that Indian cultural influence on Filipino culture has been underestimated. It extended through the indigenous religions, epic folk literature, myths, social customs, arts, crafts, traditional dress and Sanskrit roots of pre-Hispanic script and numerous contemporary words.
"And as one of the neighbors of India in the East Asian region, we are happy to be here to move the integration of our economies forward," she said.
In a measure using purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations, India has the world's fourth largest gross domestic product at $4.156 trillion. PPP takes into account the relative cost of living and the inflation rates of countries, rather than using just the exchange rates, which may distort real differences in income.
India has a population of 1.1 billion, second only to China's 1.3 billion people.
After the ceremonies at the presidential palace, the President went to lay a wreath at the tomb of Mahatma Gandhi, India's great nationalist leader.
She returned to the Oberoi Hotel to receive a succession of Indian leaders and businessmen before addressing the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Associated Chamber of Commerce of India.
Saying trade relations between the two countries were "lopsided" in favor of India, Ms Arroyo invited the Indian business groups to invest in the Philippines in the areas of information technology, business outsourcing, mining, filmmaking, tourism, biofuels, asset privatization and consumer products.
Philippine exports to India, led by electronics, registered at $119.5 million in 2006, while imports of Indian goods such as meat, wheat and iron finished products amounted to $400.9 million.
"Our massive spending on health care includes importing pharmaceuticals from India as part of our program to cut in half the price of medicines commonly bought by the poor," Ms Arroyo said.
• Memorandum of Agreement on the Waiver of Visa Requirements for Holders of Diplomatic and Official Passports.
President Arroyo also met with Indian opposition leader Lok Sabha, Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari and Sonia Gandhi, chair of the Indian National Congress party.
In the evening, she Arroyo again met Patil at the Rashtrapati Bhavan before going on to a state banquet hosted by the Indian President.
To cap the day, Ms Arroyo met with the Filipino community here at the Oberoi Hotel. This Saturday she goes to Agra for a tour of the Taj Mahal, the magnificent white marble mausoleum which the Mogul emperor Shah Jahan built for his wife in the 17th century.
President Arroyo arrived in India on Thursday straight from a two-day visit to China. Her visit to the Indian capital was preceded by a visit to Mumbai, India's industrial center. She leaves for home later today.
At her meeting with the Confederation of Indian Industries in Mumbai, the President invited Indian pharmaceutical companies to make the Philippines their main base of operations in Southeast Asia.
She also invited India's hotel and resort owners to invest in the Philippines to promote tourism, particularly in the central Philippines tourism corridor and touted the country's pristine waters and white sand beaches.
She also invited Indian businessmen to participate in the government's asset privatization program and invest in government-owned or -controlled corporations.
Sutherland Global Services of India has announced its plan to expand its call center operations in the Philippines.
Sutherland president K.S. Kumar, who called on the President in Mumbai, said Sutherland would set up a new call center in Camarines Sur province, southeast of Manila, in the next 45 days, which he said was expected to create 500 jobs.
He said that within the next three months, they will be establishing a 100-seat call center in Davao, and add another 500 seats to their existing 2,000-man operation in Clark.
Kumar said Sutherland Global Services was among the first locators in the new IT Park in the northern province of Tarlac, with its 100-seat call center expected to be online by January 2008.
The company is finalizing the evaluation of a proposed 200-employee call center operation in Iloilo and the planned training facilities in seven provinces to accommodate 500 graduates every month.
WNS Global Services also presented to the President its plan for a call center project in the Philippines that was registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority last Sept. 26.
Any human and international relationships should be durable.
To achieve durability, human relationships have to be strengthened.
Strengthening of human relationships should begin at professional level.
By professional level, I mean among Engineers, among call center employees etc.
If professional relationships become strong and potentially translate into strong and durable human relationships, the short cited, naive and speculative activities of a few business persons or financial brokers can be overcome.
The true meaning of relationships will be understood in long-term.
Relationships established by colonial powers to meet their own economic ends have not translated into human relationships.
Malays and Indians are as separate in Malaysia as they would be if the Malays are in Malaysia and Indians are in India respectively.
The asymmetry is further strengthened by the demand by Malays on Hindus to become Muslims if they marry Malays.
This does not promote cross cultural understanding and cross fertilization of cultures for positive purposes.
I am afraid, even if I visit a Mosque once in my life time in Malaysia, that would be considered as my conversion to Islam.
My family would be deeply hurt by the authorities unilaterally deciding to bury my body in Islamic style instead of allowing my family to cremate my body.
This is under the assumption that I am a resident of Malaysia.
I am studying Master in Public Policy in National University of Singapore in Singapore.
Otherwise, I belong to India.
In human history, even 200 years should be considered short.
In fact, colonialism has only strengthened racial and religious polarization.
Since the relationship between India and Philippines is being conceptualized by two sovereign independent nations with certain strategic issues in mind, hopefully this translates into durable human relationship.
By durable, I mean many many thousands of years in culture, inter marriage and understanding.
99.999 percent of human beings are bound to be re-born because they have not become as pure as God to merge with the heaven of undisturbed state of bliss.
Since we will be re-born again and again potentially n – 1 number of times, we better be nice to each other.
I believe the Philippines is trying to be the next BPO country aside from India.
It's a good practice that we also be friendly to other countries as they can also help to improve our economic if they want to build some businesses here in Philippines.
Good to know that even in the earlier years India and the Philippines have been joining hands to improve both economies and global economic solutions around the world. Outsourcing through good relationships between these two competitive nations would be greatly affecting the economic rise and hopefully, they'll be improving businesses in the long run.
If India and Philippines have more tie-ups between them than it would be beneficial for both nations. Both country have like minded hard working people and have lot common things in between…..
It is no wonder about the ancient ties of India and Philipines. Becuase of both countries have their own relations in the name of PALLAN who are now also residing in Philipines and Tamil nadu. The Pallan's clan are the King's race in India.
We have formed one organization called "The Mallar ILLAKKIYA Kalagam – Mallar Nadu" which has doing research on Mallar/Devendrakula Velalar's real cultural history in Tamil Nadu and strives for the upliftment of farming community.
The Mallar/Devendrakula Velalar's forefathers were the great rulers of Chera, Chola, Pandya and Pallava kings in Tamil nadu. There are some historical lies and unhistorical incidents happened at some places in India especially in Tamil Nadu. The real history of India has been concealed and distorted intentionally in India.
Actually our Indian people have relied on UNESCO's news and its information on various country's history. The NHK TV-Japan has telecasted one UNESCO's program on regarding the history of Ankovart Temple in Combodia. The UNESCO's information on Ankovart Temple in Combodi is entirely wrong information.
The real information has concealed. Namely the Ankovart Temple was built by the Tamil King Mahendraverma Pallava Malla who once ruled our southern parts of India and their lineage is still living in the name of Mallars/Devendrakula Velalars in Tamil Nadu in India. The Pallava King's dynasty followed the Saivam, Vaisnavam and Budha.
The Pallava King conquered most of the East Asian countries and married the Combodian's princess. Hence the King built the renowned Angovart Temple which is the world largest Siva Temple after the Tanjore's Big Temple at Tanjore in Tamil Nadu, which was built by the great Tamil King Raja Raja Cholan who also the relative of Pallava kings.
The statue of Astabandhu (Eight handed) Vishnu's replica as in our Tamil people who still living in remote villages in Tamil Nadu in India. Their community name is Devendrakula Velalars/Mallars whose forefathers were kings once upon time and defeated by Naicker's Clan from north part of Southern India.
The above information has not telecasted in NHK-Japan's T.V's program. We request you please to furnish the real/authenticated information regarding Ankovart Temple's history.
For further clarification and details of Chera, Chola, Pandya and Pallava's information can be ascertained from the following websites.
SUB :: Siva Temple near the borders of Cambodia & Thailand's border built by the ancient Khmer's Prince INDRAYUDHA son of King Jayavarman II.
REF :: Outlook Magazine's issued dated 19.09.2011 at page no.56.
This has reference to the above.
I have read one article in your "Outlook" magazine under the topic of "Hinduism saves frontiers" at page no.56 in the issue of 19.09.2011, which was opined by our Honourable Mr.Tarun Vijay, M.P. of Rajya Sabha. The God Siva Mallar's shrine wherein Sivalingha existed, was built by the Prince INDRAYUDHA son of King Jayavarman II of Khmer Empire. The shrine is located near Cambodia & Thailand's border.
I have given below furnished my opinion / actual history of the subject shrine and its inextricable link with the present day people of Tamilnadu especially the people of Mallar / Pallar / Devendrakula velalars / Kudumbars who are the descendants of the great Tamil Vendhars (Kings) Chera, Chola, Pandiya and Pallavas. Once upon a time the Tamil Kings Chera, Chola, Pandiya & Pallava were ruled the present day most of the East Asia's countries and built their Tamil religion's temple (Not Hindu) of the God Siva, Inthiran & Perumal as in the present day state of Tamil Nadu.
The historical evidences, epigraph and the Tamil Sangam's literatures of the great Tamil Vendhars (Kings) are inextricably linked with the present day's people of Mallars / Pallars / Devendrakula velalars / Kudumbars and undisputed one. The name of the Prince of INDRAYUDHA was reveals that the Prince belongs to the Tamil Kings or descendants of our Tamil Kings Chera,Chola, Pandya & Pallava. Namely, the reason of the Indiran's name in Tamil was denoted the God Inthiran after a Mallar Emperor's death, the Emperor attain the highest status of God. Likewise, the Siva Mallar & Perumal Mallar become their highest status of God after their death in India. The Mallar Kings were once upon a time ruled most of the countries in the world. The ancient Roman & Greece kings were belongs to the race of Mallars whose names were called the " PALLAS" & " PANDYAS" and their regime's emblem "FISH" was also the same emblem of our Tamil Kings PANDIAN.
After a long, long ago, the man came to know how to live with food & shelter from uncivilized stages to the civilized manner.
The people were lived in 4 kind of lands like Kurinji, Mullai, Marutham & Neithal. The 5th land was originated from Neithal land wherein the land was famine. Hence these kind of people do their profession as theft one. The people living in Kurinji land called people of Kurinji land and their traditional profession was hunting animals, taking honey. They are called Kuravarkal.The people living in Mullai land called people of Mullai land and their traditional profession is rearing cows,goats and other animals. They called Idaiyar/Konaar/Yadhavas.
The people living in MARUTHAM LAND called people of MARUTHAM LAND and their traditional profession is Agriculture/farming. They are called Mallars/Devendrakula vellalars/Kudumbars / Pallars. The so called Tamil Emperors of Chera, Chola & Pandyas were originated in Marutham land only and their forefathers caused the world famous civilization of Indus valley which spread upto Arab countries. In the forth land, the people living in Neithal land called Neithal people. Their traditional profession was Fishing and called them as Meenavarkal or Fisherman.
After a particulars period there were occurred famine in Mullai & Neithal lands. Hence the people living in such areas called Paalai land and its people called Kallars/Maravars/Servais/Ahamudaiyars and their traditional profession was Theft. Among the 4 lands, the Marutham land only having health & wealth in all levels due to the profession of Agriculture. Because of other lands people come and have the cereals for their existence. The Marutham land people were originated as Kudumbars in Tamil means family. The Marutham land caused the world famous civilization of Indus valley civilization and the renowned Tamil Emperors of Chera, Chola & Pandyas. The marutham land's people's mother tongue is Tamil from which the other Indian languages were originated. Their God is Inthiran who is the god of the rain. In Marutham land, If any Emperor of Mallars died, there was one Lingam built on the death place of Emperors of mallars. It is called Siva Mallar. Perumal Mallar is his relatives and intends the God of saviour.
After the infiltration of Aryans into India, the people of 4 lands moved towards southward. The Aryan hijacked the Mallar's religion of Saivam (Siva) & Vainavam (Perumal) and made the new religion as Hindus. Hence actually Hindu is not a religion. Buddha's clan was belongs to the Mallar's race. Hence the so called some Tamil Emperors were fostered the Buddha religion. They never against Buddhism. The Emperor Asoka has close relative of the south Mallar's Emperors of Chera, Chola and Pandyas. These emperor's has the flag of Tiger, Bow & Arrow and Fish respectively which are occurred in the Emperor's Asoka pillar and other monuments. After the fall of these Tamil Emperors, the Nayaka Kings has destroyed the evidences of Mallar's Emperors and degraded the Mallar's people in the name of Pallars. Their lands were taken by force and given away to other Tamil people like Vanniyars, Maravars & Telugu Nayaka's people who betrayed for the fall of the Tamil Emperors Chera,Chola & Pandyas.
In all ancient Temples, the name of Hindu religion word not occurred in any place. Likewise the name of Vishnu also is not found in the ancient temple. Throughout India, the God Siva & Perumal have the temples and not temple exist in the name of Brahman. Why? Because of the God of Brahman is not belongs to Tamil people and it was originated by Aryans/Brahmins.
Some of our people think that Buddha temple was destroyed and built the Hindu temple. It is not true. How you say the name as Hindu temple, which is not exist in India? Before the period of Buddha, the Malla's religion only existed which was also the religion/customs of Buddha's clan. Hence the Buddha and Mallar's religions (Tamil religion viz., Siva Mallar & Perumal Mallar) are inextricably linked with each other. Hence it was common that the Tamil Emperors and its land were occurred the Buddha's temple. The God Inthiran is the base for all the Mallar's religion. Hence one of the Combodia's King's name is INTHIRA verman wherein the God of Inthiran found. It is the evidence of that once the Combodia was under the rule of the great Mallar's King of Pallavas and substantiated it is belong to the clan of Mallar/Devendrakula Velalars of Tamil Nadu.
Likewise, the Siva God shrine near the border areas of Cambodia & Thailand were belongs to the close relative of Tamil Kings of Chera, Chola, Pandiya & Pallavas. The name of Prince of INDRAYUDHA son of King Jayavarman II of Khmer Empire is exposed the God INDRAN's name also. The name of the King Dharan Inthiravarman I (1107-42) is also reveals that the name bears the God Inthiran. The meaning of the Dharan Inthiravarman in Tamil is as below.
In Tamil, Dharan implied Dharani means the "the World" (Oulagam in Tamil) and Inthira is denotes the God Inthiran & varman is the common name of the great Tamil Kinsgs Pallavas & Pandyas like the King Mahendravarma Pallava Malla (King of Pallavas) and the King Sadayavarman Pandiyan & Maaravarma sundara Pandiyan (King of Pandiyas). This article also proved that the Buddha's religion & Tamil religions of Siva & Perumal are the same religion. Buddha attained his superiority in Pallankadu and his father celebrated the world known festival "Inthira Vizha" which was also celebrated by Tamil Kings Chera, Chola, Pandya & Pallavas. Even today also this festival is celebrated only by the community people of Mallar / Pallar / Devendrakula Velalars / Kudumbars at Coimbatore & Rajapalayam in Tamil nadu, India as their traditional festival.
After the Aryan's king infiltered into India, the Buddha's Recluse were killed by the Hindu Kings in India due to the Buddha has opposed / forbid the principles of the Aryans. The Aryans hijacked the Tamil religion Sivam & Perumal and created the new religion as Hindu. Hence, the Kings and their followers (in the name of Hindus) were killed the Buddha's recluse and his principles.
But in Thailand & Cambodia, the Buddhas and the Tamil religions Sivam & Perumal were co-exist in happiness. How it was possible that the Buddha Recluse were killed & the Buddha's principles opposed by the Hindu Kings (Aryans) in India and at the same time the Buddha's religion & Hindu people were coo-exist happily in Cambodia, Thailand and other countries? Because of, the Aryan's Kings (creator of the Hindu religion) were opposed the Buddha's principles. Hence there is no wonder to express in the articles wherein you are expressed that "The region where the Buddha & Shiva co-exist in happiness.
Actually the so-called Chola's Emperor's present name of Raja Raja Cholan's real/original name is DEVENDRAN CHOLAN and all other names are his Titles only.
The famous Archaeologist Mr.Iyyraavatham Mahadevan has proved that the oldest Rig vedaha's (But we don't know its original / actual name) period was Pre-Aryan period., viz the Rig Vedha has existed before the Aryan's came to India. The Rig Vedha consists the customs and life of the God Inthiran, its followers of Mallar's life & saints life history. Hence before the Aryan's came to India, the God Inthiran & the name of Devendran were exist in India. Hence, how the God Inthiran belongs to Aryan people? Recently one Tamil temple is discovered in Java Islands when digging for building near a Mosque. The temple was built by the great Tamil Emperor Rajendra Cholan Son of Devendra Cholan @ Raja Raja cholan who ruled once most of the Asian countries.
Hence it is apparently proved that the Buddhism and Mallar's religions of Saivasim & Vainasiam are inextricably linked one other. For further clarification you can visit the following websites. Actually the Tamil is the base for all the history & languages in the world.
The Archaeological findings, inscription, epigraphic discovery, Copper plates & the traditional customs of Mallars/Devendrakula velalars/Pallars have substantiated/proved that the Pallavas emperor are the forefathers of present clan of Mallars/Devendrakula velalars/Pallars/Kudumbars. It is undisputed one & nobody can claim his or her inheritance/legacy in Tamil nadu. I have here under furnished some information/evidences/records for the substantiation of Chera, Chola, Pandya & Pallava emperors were the forefathers/descendants of the present day society of Mallars/Devendrakula velalars/Kudumbars/Pallars in Tamil Nadu.
6.	The Pallava emperors were fostered their forefather's religion Buddha, Siva & Perumal after the Aryan's infiltration into India. Their language is Tamil (Old Tamil viz., Vatta eluthu which is still occurred in the ancient temple of Maamallapuram (the name also certified the proof of Mallar's history) & in Ankovart Aalayam (Aalayam is the pure/original Tamil Name for Temple) in Combodia. North Indian people have accepted the principles of Aryans & followed their culture, customs, habits & language. But South Indian people are not accepted the Aryan's principles and so on. Hence most of the culture, customs, habits and the way of life of South Indian people are entirely different from North Indian people.
7.	One of the important Pallava's Emperors name was INTHIRA varma pallava Malla who have borne his clan/descendant's name in his name.
8.	Actually, the Ankovart Aalayam is not Hindu Temple in Cambodia. It is the Mallar/Devendrakulam/Kudumbar's forefather's religion of Budha, Siva & Perumal religion which has hijacked by the Aryan's after their infiltration into India and made the new religion as Hindu.
9.	After captured the Malla's land by the Aryans up to Arab countries, the Aryan's destroyed all the historical evidences/records and followed Mallar's traditional customs and habits, culture & language for destroy their identity. One of the Malla's Emperor Buddha's father was stubbornly opposed the Aryan's influence in India. Then his son Gowthama Buddha has created the Buddha religion due to his forefather's religion of Inthiran, Siva & Perumal have been hijacked by the Aryans and made the new religion as Hindu which has paved the way for the casteism by birth.
10.	The pure Tamil word for Raja is "Vendhan" which means King. Hence the Vendhan became Devendran=Devar+Vendhan due to the Vendhan was the head of all Devas. Hence the word Devendran coined from Tamil language as the above. After the Aryan's infiltration into India, the Aryan created another one as Inthiran for tarnish the Mallar's culture, habits & customs. They made / created a lot of fake stories to defame the esteem of Mallar's (Tamil) culture, history, habits and language even their Gods willfully. The Aryan means "Uncivilized society" in Tamil vide Late Mr.Devaasiravatham's Books.
Most of our ancient / historical Titles, names and so on are wrongly used / claimed by most of the society and its people which caused the above unnecessary disputes and contradiction among various societies in Tamil Nadu. Because of, some society has wrongly claimed the Devar's title name as their Caste name which is actually belongs to the Mallar / Pallar / Devendrakula Velalars. Namely, as per our Tamil language, the name of Devendran means DEVAR + VENDHAN = DEVENDRAN whose forefathers were the great Tamil Vendhars Chera, Chola, Pandiyas & Pallavas and their Gods are Siva Mallar, Perumal Mallar & Devendran based on our Tamil Shangam's Literatures, Archeological / Historical evidences, epigraphic in the ancient Temples and their customs & habits in their society. I also furnished one or two examples of our ancient Tamil name's interpretation for your kind perusal for the legitimate / legal / rightful claim of the society of Mallars / Pallars / Devendrakula Velalars / Kudumbars.
You are great, put some more effort & Show who are devandrakula vellalar to the world.

American Caricature
A Film by Joe Ciomek and Tom Faraci
You've seen them in magazines, in cartoons, and at just about every densely populated tourist attraction in America. A professional caricature artist will manage not only to capture a person's likeness, but amplify it - all while exaggerating, contorting, and stylizing the subject's most prominent features. To some, they are souvenirs. Fleeting entertainment. To others, a powerful tool in the realm of scathing satire. But what does it mean to the artists? American Caricature will showcase not only the art of caricature, but the subculture surrounding it. From animators, illustrators, cartoonists, and live sketch artists, you'll hear in their own words what it is that brings them all together, both literally and figuratively. Drawing caricatures for a living is unconventional to say the least, and you're invited to explore the art form, the passion, the industry, and the community of caricature art in the United States. After all, drawing funny faces is a serious business!
The film chronicles the 2015 ISCA Caricature Convention and the year leading up to it, and features interviews with many of the top caricature artists in the world, including Joe Bluhm, Tom Richmond, Jason Seiler, C.F. Payne, Glenn Ferguson, Ali Thome, Len Hernandez, Rob Hren, Stacy Pierce, Dave Smith, Jared Stokes, Sean Evans, Mary Kay Williams, Ty Jones, Sean Gardner, Jeremy Townsend, Chris Chua, Natalie Hume, Emily Byrne, Kayla Archer, Nate Kapnicky, Tony Sobota, Beejay Hawn, and more!

Anomalous behavior of mannitol hemihydrate: Implications on sucrose crystallization in colyophilized systems
Seema Thakral, Jayesh Sonje, Raj Suryanarayanan
Characterization Facility
When solutions containing mannitol and sucrose are freeze-dried, depending on the processing conditions and the formulation composition, mannitol can crystallize in the anhydrous form, as mannitol hemihydrate (MHH; C6H14O6·0.5H2O) or as a mixture of the two. The retention of MHH in the final lyophile, and its dehydration during product storage could lead to instability of the final drug product. Our aim was to determine the influence of water vapor pressure on the kinetics of MHH dehydration and the implications on the physical stability of sucrose. Therefore, the lyophiles were exposed to a range of relative humidities (RH) and the kinetics of MHH dehydration and sucrose crystallization were monitored by X-ray diffractometry. A second set of vials (rubber stoppers fitted with humidity/temperature sensor) were stored at 40 °C, the headspace RH was continually recorded and water content was determined by Karl Fischer titrimetry. The dehydration rate of MHH increased as a function of water vapor pressure, an anomalous behavior explained by the Smith–Topley effect. An increase in headspace RH and decrease in lyophile water content in sealed vials attributed to MHH dehydration, eventually triggered sucrose crystallization. There was also evidence of moisture transfer from the lyophile to the rubber stoppers.

Former 18ft Skiff world champions John Winning on 'Yandoo' and Trevor Barnabas on 'Omega Smeg' head the leaderboard after six of the 10 scheduled races for the 18ft Skiff international trophy, being contested in the Bay of Quiberon, Brittany this week.
'US Challenge', sailed by last year's winner Howie Hamlin from Southern California, is still in contention, and the British 'RMW Marine' team skippered by Rob Greenhalgh have not given up hope of a late charge from fourth place.
The best lay day story was of boatbuilder Graham Eeles, who specialises in repairs. Having invested heavily in a one-year-old boat which arrived at Quiberon last week from Australia, Graham and his mates Andy and Simon have been very pleased with the performance of 'Sunday Telegraph', and they are currently in sixth position overall. On the second beat of race five, they sailed in close to the shore to pick up a wind bend, and collided very heavily with a substantial rock.
With the lay day to follow, Graham took the badly damaged daggerboard to the club bosun's shed, and asked in his best Franglais if he could leave it overnight, with the intention of repairing it when it had dried out. When he went to collect it, he was amazed to find the board had already been repaired, and he is now shuddering at the thought of a substantial bill.

College Station Taco Cabana permanently shuts down
By Fallon Appleton |
Posted: Mon 3:45 PM, Jan 13, 2020 |
Updated: Mon 6:47 PM, Jan 13, 2020
COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (KBTX) - The Taco Cabana on Texas Avenue in College Station has unexpectedly closed its doors.
Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc., the parent company of Taco Cabana, released a statement on Jan. 13 announcing that it will close 19 Texas Taco Cabana locations effective immediately.
The College Station restaurant was one of these locations.
According to Fiesta President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Stockinger, Taco Cabana started a margin improvement plan that is supposed to "improve restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA margins by approximately 200 to 300 basis points in 2020 vs. 2019."
"The margin improvement plan includes efficiency initiatives in operations across the food and operating expense categories and the closure of 19 underperforming restaurants in Texas.
"These closures eliminate all stores with significant losses, which we expect will result in a highly viable portfolio of restaurants."
Employees impacted by the closure have been offered positions at the other locations.
College Station Taco Cabana employees have been offered jobs at the Bryan location.
The 19 Taco Cabana locations "estimated $4.2 million in restaurant-level pre-tax operating losses, including $2.0 million in depreciation expense, for the 12 months ended Dec. 29, 2019," according to the Fiesta Restaurant Group.

Q: Error in configuring and operating FABRIC Raft I tried to start the network with RAFT following the BYFN example but I'm stuck in a problem related to signcert certificate that miss from the crypto-config folder after the cryptogen tool has been executed.
I follow the following steps:
First, re-generate the crypto material (file crypto-config.YAML already has specs about the orderers), then I start the container (doesn't matter if I do it manually or executing byfn.sh, the error is always the same). The logs tell me that orderer containers doesn't find signcert certificates and exited. Actually when I get in the crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer2.example.com/msp folder, I just see admincerts/ and keystore/ folder. I tried re-executing the cryptogen tool but it doesn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestion?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Family", for a Lack of a Better Term
in Buffy The Vampire Slayer
by Katie Bienvenue November 29, 2019, 12:00 am
Buffy the Vampire Slayer had some deep storytelling in Season 5. It was the transition season from dealing with pre-college life to entering into post-college life. Buffy went through some serious growing as both a woman hitting her early 20s and a vampire slayer.
The stories of this season reflected the changes not just in Buffy herself, but in all the members of the Scooby gang. Riley was figuring out post-Initiative life. Anya took up working for The Magic Box with Giles. Then there's Willow, who was finally adjusting to her relationship with Tara.
The sixth episode, appropriately entitled "Family" examines how families can sometimes be more demonic then your run of the mill Hellmouth monster.
With her mother still in the hospital being treated for a brain tumor, Buffy decides to move back home so she can take care of her kid sister, Dawn. She's also just discovered that Dawn is a mystical key that's been fashioned into a human by a secret society of monks. This key has the ability to open the door between our world and Hell. It's being sought after by a powerful woman, who we soon discover is a god that has been trapped on Earth, named Glory.
This discovery has Buffy contemplating everything that has happened between them. What exactly does this make Dawn? Since all the memories of holidays and growing up are false is she still a member of the Summers family or just is she another "thing" that Buffy has to protect? An even bigger question arises, should Buffy tell Dawn?
Meanwhile Tara, the newest of the Scoobies, is busy trying to "fit in" to the dynamic with the others. Up to this point she's really only been an attachment to Willow. She's the one who is quiet and shy, and says random things in hopes that others will get it sometimes (they don't).
When it turns out to be Tara's 20th birthday Willow wants to throw a party for her. It would act as a way of inducting her into The Scooby Gang officially. The others are hesitant because although they have interacted with Tara, they don't really know her. Of course this would be the perfect time for Tara's very backwater thinking family to appear.
Fresh faced Amy Adams (Yes, that Amy Adams!) guest stars with Steve Rankin and Kevin Rankin as Tara's cousin, father and brother. From the greeting that Tara gives, it looks as though she was not expecting to be found. Their arrival comes with one mission: to get her to come home. According to her family lore, "the women have half demon in them." and it seems to manifest itself on their 20th birthday. If Tara already didn't feel accepted by the Scoobies, having them find out about her half demon part certainly wouldn't help anything.
In order to hide her "demonic" self, she places a spell on the gang. This way they wouldn't see her demon side. The problem with that is, it turns out they can't see any demons. Which makes it a perfect time for Glory to send in some to take Buffy out. When Tara realizes what she has done she reverses the spell, and explains why she cast it in the first place. She would rather hide a part of herself from them than not be accepted.
But this is Buffy we're talking about. She of all people knows how it is to be an outcast. So even though Tara made a mistake, Buffy knows that it was with good intentions. The Scoobies end up accepting Tara as one of them and they stand together when Tara's "tribe of relations" come to collect her.
The beautiful message this episode brings not only to Buffy, but to the viewer, is that the "family" element takes all forms. There doesn't need to be blood shared in order to consider someone a sister or brother. A mother or father. Your family is where you feel like you belong. For Tara, that is with the Scoobies.
In recent years this episode has resonated with me more and more. I haven't lived with my "birth" family since I was fifteen and that wasn't by my choice. My mother had decided that she didn't want anything to do with me, and I didn't know why. I ended up moving in with a friend and her family where that revealed its own problems.
Once I hit legal age I just went from home to home but never settling. During college I lived in my dorm and during the summers on a couch. The only constant was work. I was always excited to go because I knew at least for those hours I had a place that wanted me there.
Then luck fell upon me one summer. I started working at this amazing summer camp and for the first time I really started to feel accepted by those around me, and safe. I began living with my current house mate (one of the best people in my life) and her daughter shortly after. They took me home with them, and home is exactly what it felt like for the first time. I had people surrounding me that actually cared.
Tara's family used a family lore to keep their women in check. She never was part demon (as Spike so clearly demonstrates when he punches Tara in the face.) My family used fear. My mother would constantly tell my siblings and I to lie to social workers because "they'll take you away and separate you." We believed her because it happened. We were taken and placed into foster care, and because there were many of us, separated.
The Scoobies assured Tara that she was right where she belonged. When the holidays come around, it's hard for me. I'll admit to being jealous seeing everyone so happy. Even though I know I'm loved where I am, I still need that extra reminding because deep down there is that little voice of doubt. The same voice of doubt that was guiding Tara's thoughts when she was willing to leave and go home. She knows it wasn't the right choice, but it's her family so there could be a chance of change. I constantly think one day mine might come to their senses and own up to everything they've done, though deep down, I don't think it will ever happen.
It's taken many re-watches of this episode for me to learn its importance. The family we're born into doesn't have to be the one we stay in, and blood is just one factor of many. Thanks, Buffy, for continuing to teach us the important things.

It's really beginning to look a lot like Christmas. For those looking for a cozy Xmas vacation, or those nearby, a luxury stay-cation, The Langham hotel in Boston is making all of our Christmas wishes come true. This year, the 5-star hotel chain has partnered with The Boston Ballet to create an unforgettable festive experience. The Boston Ballet is the most prestige and leading dance education institution in New England and has been putting on delicate performances for nearly 70 years. The school puts on annual productions, and this year, they are embracing the ultimate seasonal show of The Nutcracker. But, The Langham hotel decided to get involved, bringing incoming lucky guests an experience like never before. An overnight stay in the opulent Chairman Suite has been transformed into A Night at The Nutcracker.

Guests who opt for this experience will sleep peacefully in Sugar Plum Fairyland. The suite is dressed for the occasion: perfect for family and friends, guests can expect lavish treatment. This includes a festive four-course meal prepared by the hotel's Executive Chef Stephen Bukoff, and served in the suite's personal dining area. For a quick escape, the guests will receive VIP tickets and spend the rest of the evening at Citizens Bank Opera House to feast their eyes upon the Boston Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker. Prior to and after the show, get comfortable in the Opera House's VIP private lounge (up to 4 guests). To fill the spare time, considering The Langham's exceptional central location, take a snowy stroll toward Faneuil Hall Marketplace, decorated to perfection, to see the holiday tree. If it's too cold for walking, opt for the hotel's complimentary car service to check Christmas shopping and sightseeing off the list. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so get ready to be merry - there's never been a hotel collaboration quite like it.
