Home Entertenment Ranbir Kapoor – Alia Bhatt Wedding: Is this where the couple first met? : Bollywood News
Entertenment admin April 17, 2022 0 Comment
Ranbir Kapoor fell in love countless times. The high-profile girlfriends we know are just the tip of the iceberg. There were many others, some of which, including a high-profile socialite, were intense while they lasted. But Alia Bhatt was special from the start. She is the first woman in Ranbir's life whom he has truly committed to marry from the start.
Ranbir Kapoor – Alia Bhatt Wedding: Is this where the couple first met?
"It is not known what happened to Alia. But Ranbir shared a different equation with her from the start. He saw her as her father, Rishi Kapoor, saw Neetu Singh: the woman he was going to marry," says a close friend of the couple.
Apparently, Ranbir never promised marriage to any of his other girlfriends. That he would marry Alia was a 'given' in their relationship from the moment they met at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's residence. Incidentally, Salman Khan-Aishwarya Rai and Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone relationships began on the movie sets of Sanjay Bhansali.
So what did Alia have that Ranbir's previous girlfriends didn't?
Mom Neetu Kapoor's approval and blessings. If mutual friends are to be believed, Ranbir's mother never approved of Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. "Neetuji warmed up to Alia from the start. Alia was comfortable with Rishiji and Neetuji. They were planning to get married in 2021. Then Rishi suddenly passed away and all wedding plans were postponed. But the mutual affection between Alia and Neetuji only grew over time", says the friend.
Of all his son's girlfriends, Rishi Kapoor loved Alia Bhatt the most. They got along well…well, not exactly like a house on fire. But definitely, there was a bond there, lacking when it came to Ranbir's previous girlfriends Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. In fact, neither Rishi Kapoor nor his wife Neetu Singh found much to talk about with Deepika or Katrina. Not that either of the two women made any effort to contact, much less connect, with Ranbir's parents. This factor had a big influence on how Ranbir's relationships were with his two previous girlfriends.
Alia, on the other hand, didn't have to go out of her way to connect with Ranbir's parents. "It's natural for her. This joy of being a part of Ranbir's family is a blessing for Alia. In her own family, she wanted her parents (filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan) to be together. But her father was often absent. Being with Rishi and Neetu gave Alia a sense of belonging," says a friend of the Kapoors.
With Rishi Kapoor gone, Alia keeps an eye on her future mother-in-law.
It is Alia, not Ranbir, who calls Neetu regularly. Ranbir is very taciturn. Alia is much more open about her feelings. That's why, as far as Rishi is concerned, they make a perfect couple.

Consolidated. A New Way to Power Your Life.
There is tremendous interest in the status of Consolidated Fiber's progress, and we hope the information in this week's update will help address your questions and concerns.
The next time you pull out of your driveway to run an errand at the store, ask the kids in the backseat to count the number of utility poles along the way. You may be surprised to learn that our field engineers and construction crews must touch every single one of them before we can bring super-fast, reliable, and affordable broadband internet to your home.
Although we wish we could flip a switch and all electric members would immediately become fiber customers, financially and logistically this is an impossibility. It took the farmers in our rural area several years to fully install electric lines, and while it won't take nearly as long to install fiber infrastructure, like those who founded the co-op more than 80 years ago, we're pioneers. Consolidated is the first cooperative in the State of Ohio to bring fiber internet to its members, and this is a multi-year rollout that we anticipate will take three to four more years.
Houseman Zone – 5 miles of fiber infrastructure is built, and we are 100% complete with connecting services to homes.
Ostrander North Zone – 33 miles of fiber infrastructure is built, and we are 80% complete with connecting services to homes.
Ostrander South Zone – 27 miles of fiber infrastructure is built, and we are 55% complete with connecting services to homes.
Olive Green Zone – 30 miles of fiber infrastructure is built, and we are 30% complete with connecting services to homes.
While we would like to tell you exactly where our engineers and work crews are going next, there is a delicate balance of dynamic factors such as logistics, financing, customer demand, and others that we must first weigh carefully. Announcing what's next too early, when our ability to meet your expectations can change, can be frustrating for you and us.
As for the question, Are we there yet? No, not yet for many of you. But we're moving as quickly as we can. In the meantime, remember the importance of all of those poles the next time you pull out of the driveway – they're the infrastructure that helps us Light Up Your Life.

By Daniele Alcinii
Australian filmmaker Gabrielle Brady's debut feature Island of the Hungry Ghosts and Dava Whisenant's Bathtubs Over Broadway are among the documentary winners at the 17th annual Tribeca Film Festival.
Brady's Island of the Hungry Ghosts (pictured), which details a high-security facility that indefinitely detains individuals seeking asylum on Australia's Christmas Island, took home top honors from the New York-set festival, claiming the best documentary feature title in the Documentary Competition as well as a prize of US$20,000.
The selection jury commented that the award was handed out to a film demonstrating "extraordinary mastery of the full symphonic range of cinematic tools: cinematography, editing, score, sound design, and, perhaps greatest of all, an exquisite use of metaphor. To a film that moved us deeply, impressed us immensely, and made us feel we were witnessing nothing less than the emergence, fully formed, of a major new cinematic talent."
The Documentary Competition category also awarded cinematographer Niels van Koevorden for his efforts in Tanzania Transit, while the editing award in the category went to Frederick Shanahan, Jon Kasbe and Caitlyn Greene for When Lambs Become Lions. Both categories provided winners with a $2,500 cash prize.
The Albert Maysles New Documentary Director Award, meanwhile, was handed out to Whisenant's Bathtubs Over Broadway, in which a disaffected comedy writer stumbles upon a hidden world of bizarre corporate entertainment and forms a connection to his fellow man. The winner also received a $10,000 cash prize.
Elsewhere, Kim A. Snyder's Notes from Dunblane: Lessons from a School Shooting was named best documentary short. The film, which also received $5,000, documents a priest from Dunblane, Scotland offering support to the families of the Sandy Hook Massacre, 16 years after a school shooting in his own town.
Tribeca also honored innovation in storytelling with its Storyscapes Award, which went to Hero, created by Navid Khonsari, Vassiliki Khonsari, and Brooks Brown. The selection receives $10,000.
Finally, the For Every Kind of Dream series, directed by Mohammad Gorjestani for Jack Dorsey's credit card processing company Square, was honored with the third annual Tribeca X Award, which recognizes excellence in storytelling at the intersection of advertising and entertainment.
"It is rewarding to honor films that tell important stories and moved our juries in profound way," said Jane Rosenthal, CEO, executive chair and co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival, in a statement. "Whether they excite, incite, inspire or simply entertain, it is a privilege to launch this worthy group with this special honor at Tribeca."
This year's festival included 99 feature length films across all genres, 55 short films, and 35 immersive storytelling projects from 46 countries.
The winners of the Audience Awards, which are determined by audience votes throughout the festival, will be announced on April 28.

A moment or two with Bradley Beaulieu
I decided to try something new, my very first interview with the awesome Bradley Beaulieu.
First of all, I am a what I would call "world building nerd", your stories have some amazing, very realized worlds, what is your approach to world building and how does it relate to your overall story telling?
My books all start with a major focus on worldbuilding. I do that because so much of the book (the territory, the resources, the magic, the politics) stems from the world itself.
In the case of Twelve Kings in Sharakhai, I'd long wanted to scratch the itch to write a desert story. I can attribute this partly to liking the tales of the Arabian Nights (or One Thousand and One Nights), particularly the milieu. In fact, as my last series, The Lays of Anuskaya, progresses, you can see more and more of the Persian-influenced Aramahn coming into the picture, culminating in long stretches of desert scenes in the final book, The Flames of Shadam Khoreh.
So the desert was something I really wanted to explore, and I knew I wanted to steep the history of the city in a nomadic, Bedouin-like culture, but I'd probably (letting my geek flag fly here a bit) give the most credit to the Thieves' World anthologies for the inspiration for the setting. I loved the city of Sanctuary when I first starting reading the anthologies in high school. I loved that it was the "armpit of the empire," that it was a meeting point of old and new as the Rankan Empire drove into Ilsigi territory, that there were pantheons of gods vying for power, and in fact commingling even as they fought. Above all, I loved the vastness of Sanctuary and the hidden wonders it contained.
The feel of that is what I wanted to explore with Sharakhai. Sharakhai is in some ways a mere city state. But in effect it controls trade throughout a massive desert bordered by four powerful kingdoms, and because it controls trade, it has amassed incredible wealth and power. It hasn't done so without making enemies along the way, however. The twelve immortal kings of Sharakhai are hated by many. And the roots of the story are buried deeply in that hatred.
The Song on Shattered Sands series so far has turned into a must read for me, what was the inspiration for writing it?
As mentioned above, I spent a lot of time on worldbuilding before I got too specific about characters. I do this with all my books so that when I get to culture and religion and politics, and eventually character, all the work that went into the world itself can advise me on who the characters are. When I started formulating the main character, Çeda, I already knew about the desert world, the twelve kings, the role that Sharakhai played in local politics as a hub of commerce. I knew to a degree that there were wandering desert tribes and that the people of Sharakhai came from and often identified with those various tribes. It's in that place—where an older way of life clashes with a newer—that Çeda and her mother, Ahya, really began taking shape.
With those building blocks in place, I started to think more about what Çeda's past would mean to her as a young woman growing up alone in a big metropolitan city. I thought more about how her mother's mission in Sharakhai would affect Çeda and those around her. And I slowly started to realize that the heart of the story was about loss of heritage and the desire to regain it. It became a lot about family, in the larger sense of the word, what losing parts of it might mean to a young girl, and how we redefine the very notion of family as we grow older. That grew into a larger question: what does cultural identity mean? In the beginning of the story, Çeda knows very little about her past. She soon begins to learn more. To her growing horror, that knowledge ties into the very history of the kings of Sharakhai. It was a great piece of inspiration, and provided a ton of ideas for where I could take the story.
Since we are a book site, what are you currently reading? what would you recommend to your friends?
I've been listening to audio version of The Lord of the Rings as a bit of pleasure reading. I've read it many times, but find it fun to listen to books while working in the yard, while in the car, etc. I'm also reading the Harry Potter series to my kids at night. We're currently on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And I'm also listening to V. E. Schwab's A Darkder Shade of Magic, a wonderful book about the four split realities of London—white, grey, red, and black, each of which has particular types of magic and that play upon one another to create a very intriguing plot. It's been a great read so far.
I am a huge gamer, do you play games? video or physical games? if so, what are you currently enjoying?
I've reduced my video game playing time quite a bit, but I do get in some time on the PS4 and Xbox with my son now and again. We played the hell out of Rayman Legends, a really colorful, inventive adventure game. We also loved Marvel Legos (for any Lego aficionados out there, we made it to 100% in the game and still kept playing). I picked up Witcher III and really like it, but it's so involved, and I only get little chunks of time to play, its taking me forever to get through it. I also like Need for Speed for a bit of racing fun.
I have a gaming gang I get together with every few weeks. We play a ton of board games and some role playing games. You name the game and we've probably played it at least once. 7 Wonders is a recent favorite. We also like The Lords of Waterdeep, X-Wing Miniatures, Star Wars Armada, King of Tokyo, and Starfarers of Catan, and the occasional miniatures game like Warmachine or Warhammer 40k.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to write and believes they have a story to tell?
Hmm. If I could pick just one thing, it would be to know your strengths and weaknesses. We all have weaknesses. Learn what yours are. Workshop your stories. Critique others. Pay close attention to the common threads in the feedback you're getting. And once you have those weaknesses identified. Work on them. Get advice. And make active attempts to root out those problems, because simply writing is not enough. Writing blindly can reinforce your bad habits.
By the same token, we all have strengths. Learn what yours are. It's common to get all sorts of advice on your stories, some of which makes no sense whatsoever to listen to. In fact, they may be very detrimental if taken to heart and internalized. While you're paying attention to those common threads I mentioned above, also pay attention to what you're doing right. I say this not so you can rest on your laurels, but so you can accentuate those strengths and make them better. You can even use that knowledge to hone in on your weaknesses. If you're great with dialogue, write a story with no dialogue whatsoever. If you're good with action, write an introspective story. And then do the reverse. Write a story that focuses on your strengths, i.e. make those muscles stronger. Hopefully something interesting comes out of these experiments along the way.
finally, is there anything you are currently watching? film? television? bingeworthy things?
I can't recommend the movie Sing Street enough, especially those who grew up in the 80's. It's a great movie from John Carney, the creator/director of the surprise smash hit, Once.
I enjoyed the first season of Westworld. The series is not without its flaws, but I dig the tone it's going for and some of the questions it raises about what it means to be human.
I also recently caught Spotlight, which won the Oscar for Best Picture last year. Not an easy film to watch given the subject matter (it's the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the child abuse scandal within the local Catholic Archdiocese), but it's powerful and sports a terrific ensemble cast.
And lastly, to end on a light note, Moana was a great, fun, tap-your-toes-to-the-music kind of movie. My whole family loved it, and I'm willing to be a fiver you will too.

Virtual life on the line, The Daily launches WKND
Staci D. Kramer Jul 13, 2012 (Jun 9, 2020) -- Blog Post
News Corp.'s(s nws)(s nwsa) digital tabloid The Daily has been on borrowed time since it was an idea, given enough resources and backing by Rupert Murdoch to launch with a flourish but no guarantee that it would last. Given the way some projects have gone, getting launched and then through the first year was an achievement. Add in News Corp.'s plans to spin off publishing assets and it's no surprise to hear rumors that The Daily may not get through the five years publisher Greg Clayman has said it needs to break even.
The New York Observer brought up "internal rumors" "that The Daily has been put 'on watch,'" repeating a source's claim that "the status of the groundbreaking iPad tabloid — which loses $30 million a year — will be reassessed after the November 6 election." The New York Times followed with confirmation that News Corp. "is deciding the fate of The Daily" and that other small operations are under review as the company prepares to spin off its publishing assets into a separate company.
Not so, says The Daily Editor-in-Chief Jesse Angelo. In a letter to staff posted online Friday afternoon, he wrote of having "over 100,000 paying subs" renewing at a 98 percent rate and urged employees to ignore "the haters":
As for the latest misinformed, untrue rumors of our imminent demise, I would urge you to ignore them. Since before we launched, our dear friends at competing media outlets have done their best to wish us ill and gleefully 'report' on what they think is going on here. The truth is we have over 100,000 paying subs who are renewing their subscriptions at a 98% rate and fantastic advertisers who love our brand and keep coming back for more because they get results. Pay attention to them, not the haters.
This is the truth about the modern media business – all outlets, including the ones writing about us, are under pressure to prove themselves as businesses. We are no exception, and to be sure, we will need to continue to evolve, adapt and change in order to compete and be successful. As something new and different, we are an easy target for erroneous wishful thinking. But make no mistake, we will be nimble and we will compete.
(If that approach sounds familiar, Rupert Murdoch told News Corp. employees when the spin plans were announced to "ignore the naysayers.")
It doesn't help that The Daily has been vague in sharing its numbers or that amounts like "over 100,000" are not far removed from the 100,000 mentioned earlier this year or the 80,000 of last fall even as iPads and other tablet use expands. True, it's an achievement to go from zero to 100,000 or more paying subscribers.
But Murdoch said it would take 500,000 subscribers to make The Daily pay off; last fall it was averaging 120,000 unique readers a week; of those, I was told then that nearly two-thirds were paying while the rest were on two-week trial subscriptions. More than half of the paying subs — about 60 percent — were on the weekly rate of $0.99, the rest on the annual $39.99 plan. Publisher Greg Clayman later told Advertising Age that it actually had 80,000 paying subs.
That was before it expanded beyond iPad. Android users have a monthly option for $3.99 instead of weekly but the app is limited to certain Verizon Samsung devices. It's hard to believe the number is meaningful. The iPhone version is $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year.
And despite support from Verizon and some other advertisers, one knock on The Daily has been its inability to attract advertising at the consistency and volume needed be successful on that front.
That $30 million loss figure is the number that stuck after Rupert Murdoch said that's how much was being spent in the 2011 fiscal year including launch investment and a run rate of about $500,000 a week. I keep seeing it repeated but haven't seen any confirmation of the amount, which would be about $26 million a year at that same run rate. That would put the investment so far at just under $60 million.
The Daily, however, was a trademark Rupert Murdoch brainstorm to create the first daily newspaper designed for a tablet and committed to making it a subscription-only app. The financial investment by News Corp. and the personal commitment by Murdoch plus the timing got it on the inside track with Steve Jobs, who made sure it had Apple's support for the iPad. Jobs was supposed to be at the launch but was too ill; Apple's Eddy Cue took the stage instead. The Daily stayed exclusive to the iPad for its first year, only recently adding an Android version and an iPhone app. It's also has a Facebook app with just over 6,146 users.
Part of The Daily's conceit from the start has been to use its website for promotion, not as a destination, allowing stories to be shared as pdfs of the tabloid pages but not providing intact issues anywhere but the app. For some, that plan instantly spelled doom. But it made The Daily not only a truly digital-first newspaper — it was truly device-first and pushed innovation in design and photography. It also provided some major tech challenges. The Daily struggled with tech problems for months — its dense issues took too long to download and there were persistent crashes. Those glitches when the spotlight was the brightest came with a serious opportunity cost.
The Daily also has had a hard ti me finding its footing editorially. As a subscriber from the start, I appreciate the often-deft tabloid covers and the way they've stretched presentation. I enjoy watching The Daily respond to breaking news with new covers during the day, the features about tech catch my eye and I think the overall package works as a concise read of daily news. (Ok, I also read the gossip section when I have time, although if you like the New York Post, it's probably not mean or tawdry enough.)
It's not a shock to me that the same people I know who dismiss USA Today don't see any value in The Daily. Then again, they aren't the target audience and neither am I. The Daily staff boast of writing for people outside the media capitols; news-wise it's for people who back in the day might have subscribed to USA Today. Sometimes the writing style is bright and incisive; sometimes it's stiff or shallow. The stories tend toward short and snappy because that's what its readers want but it also runs historical features you wouldn't expect in most papers with that focus. Its opinion sections tend towards conservative although every so often there's a surprise.
The Daily also keeps evolving. This weekend it's adding an in-app weekend magazine called WKND and sections for real estate and cars.
At the risk of getting my hand smacked for self-quoting, I wrote last fall:
No one at News Corp. expected it to be profitable this year or next; it's always been a multi-year plan and it is still very much in start-up mode. (The cynic in me thinks Murdoch would like to keep it running at least through the 2012 elections.) … But with a weekly run rate of nearly $500,000 and a threshold of 500,000 subs, the tablet tab is going to have to show not only that it can keep subscribers but that it can grow. And it has to hope that corporate patience holds
The cynic in me still has corporate patience lasting at least through the presidential election this November.
When I asked News Corp. Chief Digital Officer Jon Miller at paidContent 2012 about The Daily as a template for News Corp. digital news. "What we're trying to figure out is how far it scales. If it can really scale, then it becomes a model," he replied.
If it can't scale, it won't survive.
About closures
Another News Corp. experiment is already closing: the Newscore wire, designed to make better use of the work being done by News Corp. media outlets globally. Founder John Moody is going to FoxNews.com along with the technology, according to the Observer, while the other 20 or so staffers get the chance to apply for internal jobs.

What Does Docker 1.0 Mean For The Community?
This morning was an exciting day for Docker aficionados, Docker 1.0 was just released!
But what has changed under the hood? Let's review.
I have to say that I LOVE the new design. It is equal parts minimalistic and informative. And the container search feels like it returns results that are much easier to judge.
One of the other neat things is how many new "official" Docker containers there are. MySQL, MongoDB, Node, MySQL are just a few. A docker run wordpress gets you the official Docker WordPress container.
One of the biggest questions I have is how these officials containers are being built. Unlike Trusted Images, there are no links to the Dockerfiles on the Hub that produced these images. I am sure that will be coming soon as the Hub is brand new.
One of the most exciting parts for the Docker ecosystem is the addition of an OAuth API. This will allow third party apps to tie into the Docker Hub to pull public and private container information directly into an app. For PaaSes built on Docker (like Flynn and Deis, this is going to allow greater flexibility. For CI/CD built on Docker (like Shippable and Drone) this is going to enable a MUCH more powerful workflow. Docker's power has always been on the social/collaborative side of linux containers, and with OAuth support, this is going to supercharge the community and ecosystem growth. For those itching to get started, you might have to wait a little longer. Here is a quote from the OAuth page... "You will need to register your application with docker.io before users will be able to grant your application access to their account information. We are currently only allowing applications selectively."
In the code itself, nothing major has changed between Docker 0.11 and 1.0, but there were a few minor changes, like the addition of the COPY instruction. The new COPY instruction copies files and folders as-is from the build context.
On the surface, COPY is a lot like ADD but without the ability to grab things from the Internet. Also, ADD will unzip local tar files when moving them and COPY doesn't try to be so smart.
The Dockerfile ADD and COPY commands now do a better job with permissions.
Instead of stopping containers, you can now pause for better resource scheduling. I will have to do more research on the difference between pause and stop and followup with a new blog post soon.
Increasing the number of filesystems supported will help Docker become ubiquitous. XFS is an exciting next step for new storage and filesystem options because of its snapshotting capabilities.
Ever wonder who is in charge of the /etc/services file? If you don't know the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) is responsible for the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources. They are the guys who dole out official port numbers for IP protocols. And now Docker's API ports are official: 2375 for HTTP and 2376 for HTTPS. For those who have struggled with port conflicts between CrashPlan and Docker on their Mac, this is a godsend and the best news of the day. Though boot2docker has gotten around this port conflict in recent releases, it has always been a sore point for those of us using Docker on a Mac.
It is incredible to think that the Docker project is just 15 months old. So much progress and so much adoption over this amount of time. It is clearly resonating with the DevOps community and making tidal waves in terms of both innovation and adoption. It leaves you wondering what the landscape will look like in the next 15 months. If I were to make a prediction, I think that the tooling for building apps on top of Docker is the next big area to see explosive growth. It is still not easy, and that leaves an opportunity for people to keep expanding the ecosystem with new ideas. I want to extend a big congratulations to Solomon Hykes and his team for creating a technology that is changing all our lives for the better. Thank you guys!

My Friend Joshua – Before you travel.
I have a friend called Joshua. He tells me that whenever his aunt and uncle come, they give a cool twenty dollars crisp note and a fresh fifty one while they leave. Now around the month of March-April they came to stay at his home. He stays there with his parents and his little sister and a younger brother.
Well Joshua is nineteen years old, goes to college and has a driving license.The garage in their house is big enough to fit in two trucks, but it is completely occupied by his junk, those which he refuses to throw away.
Well, anyway, this time when his uncle and aunt came and they didn't know where to park their car, as the garage was full of rubbish.So,Joshua told them that, he would park the car on the driveway of the house and asked them to give him the car keys.They did so and went into the house.
Joshua reversed the car out of the second gate of his bungalow and as he drove to the front gate , he saw that his buddy from college was standing at the corner of the road chatting with someone else and as you all know, instead of parking the car in the driveway, he drove straight to his friend and honked loudly to give him a surprise. His friend nearly jumped out of his skin. Joshua got of the car and went on to high-five his friend and his friend was truly cross with him for honking so loudly. So to make up to his friend, he took them in the car to a nearby burger shop and they had a hearty meal.
Joshua-" I couldn't see the no parking sign officer. As you can see, the no parking board is too dusty and dirty and I truly didn't know about the tail light. Please forgive me this time Or I will be in serious trouble, as this is my uncle's car".
Luckily, for Joshua, that day his purse, actually did contain his driving license, as most of the days, he carries it, whenever he is driving.
Joshua -" Here is my license and the car papers….., let me check" and he rummages through the dashboard and finally finds them.
Joshua-"Here they are officer"and he hands over the papers to the officer.
The Officer checks his license on the police computer and he finds everything in order.
Officer-"Sorry, son can't help you there.Next time follow the rules properly and carefully".
The other officer removes the clamp from the wheel and the cops leave.
This time Joshua doesn't bother about his friends.He simply drives off to his home and parks the car in the driveway.
Next day, with a glum face and nearly all his savings, he pays the fine.
He didn't tell anyone about this episode, not even his parents.His savings was now relegated to about twenty dollars.
This time when his aunt and uncle were leaving, they gave him a crisp $100 note, but he didn't thank them as he was still grumpy and as they left his house ,Joshua looked up towards the sky and said-"God, this hundred dollars, cost me four hundred and fifty dollars.Wow." Saying so and muttering to himself, he went inside to have his breakfast.
Morale of the story-A stitch in time saves nine and always be careful, awake,alert,be serious and obey the rules as and when your hands are at the steering .


We work with young people aged between aged 10 and 18, that have committed an offence. We support them to help make changes in their lives so they do not re-offend or cause further harm to the community. This includes promoting restorative justice and working with victims.
A Magistrate at a Court refers young people to the service when they convict them of an offence and give either a community or custodial sentence.
We carry out an assessment for each young person referred to the service. This identifies the risks for that individual. And helps us produce and put in place a supervision plan which ensures their personal safety and well being.
The team also has staff for substance misuse and access to adolescent mental health services. It also works with health, housing, children's services, schools and education authorities.
support young people to access support with substance misuse, emotional or mental health.

Oxygen. – Plants require oxygen for respiration to carry out their functions of water and nutrient uptake. In soil adequate oxygen is usually available, but plant roots growing in water will quickly exhaust the supply of dissolved oxygen and can be damaged or killed unless additional air is provided. A common method of supplying oxygen is to bubble air through the solution. It is not usually necessary to provide supplementary oxygen in aeroponic or continuous flow systems.
Light. – All vegetable plants and many flowers require large amounts of sunlight. Hydroponically grown vegetables like those grown in a garden, need at least 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight each day to produce wells Artificial lighting is a poor substitute for sunshine, as most indoor lights do not provide enough intensity to produce a crop. Incandescent lamps supplemented with sunshine or special plant-growth lamps can be used to grow transplants but are not adequate to grow the crop to maturity. High intensity lamps such as high-pressure sodium lamps can provide more than 1,000 foot-candles of light. The serious hobbyist can use these lamps successfully in areas where sunlight is inadequate.
Support. – In a garden the plant roots are surrounded by soil that supports the growing plant. A hydroponically grown plant must be artificially supported and therein lies the simplicity and beauty of the Bottleponics hydroponic grow system.
Temperature. – Plants grow well only within a limited temperature range. Temperatures that are too high or too low will result in abnormal development and reduced production. Warm-season vegetables and most flowers grow best between 60° and 75° or 80° F. Cool-season vegetables such as lettuce and spinach should be grown between 50° and 70° F.
Mineral Nutrients. – Green plants must absorb certain minerals through their roots to survive. In the garden these minerals are supplied by the soil and by the addition of fertilizers such as manure, compost, and fertilizer salts. The essential elements needed in large quantities are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. Micronutrients – iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, molybdenum, and chlorine are also needed but in very small amounts.
Water. – Providing the plants with an adequate amount of water is not difficult in the water culture system, but it can be a problem with the aggregate culture method. During the hot summer months a large tomato plant may use one-half gallon of water per day. If the aggregate is not kept sufficiently moist, the plant roots will dry out and some will die. Even after the proper moisture level has been restored, the plants will recover slowly and production will be reduced.
FINDINGS SHOW THAT PAIN DECLINES, ASSESSMENTS OF HEALTH IMPROVE AND AMERICANS REMAIN IN THE WORKFORCE A study that examined older Americans' well-being before and after medical marijuana laws were passed in their state found reductions in reported pain and increased hours worked.
The study, co-written by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Temple University, suggests medical marijuana laws could be improving older Americans' health.
Researchers found a 4.8 percent decrease in reported pain and a 6.6 percentincrease in reported very good or excellent health among respondents with ahealth condition that would qualify for medical marijuana after their statespassed medical marijuana laws relative to similar respondents whose states didnot pass a law.
"Our study is important because of the limited availability of clinical trial data onthe effects of medical marijuana," says Lauren Hersch Nicholas, PhD, assistantprofessor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Health Policy andManagement.
"While several studies point to improved pain control with medical marijuana, research has largely ignored older adults even though they experience thehighest rates of medical issues that could be treated with medical marijuana." Medical marijuana remains controversial as national support for it surges.
The analysis used 100,921 participant responses that represented individualswith one or more of four health conditions that would qualify for medicalmarijuana treatment under most state laws.
In the sample that would qualify for medical marijuana treatment, the researchers found a greater increase in full-time work after medical marijuana laws were passed.

Remember that growth and change doesn't stop at 50 years
By By Jackie Byrd
A column for seniors and those who love them
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth ... whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should
. - Max Ehrmann
Children change as they grow. That is a concept extremely familiar to all of us. As parents, we listen to the moody, whiny and angry teen accusing us of our latest offense, and wonder in our hearts about the precise current location of the delightful 3-year-old who adored her parents.
We stand by, a proud audience, as these persons who began life weighing less than 10 pounds, cross each exciting threshold - kindergarten, agonies of middle school age, high-school graduation, college acceptance and on and on. A young man very important in my own life, recently shaved facial hair for the first time! Imagine that.
Here's the thing I want to share with Senior Moments readers: We are too often totally oblivious to the fact that our own changing and personal growth doesn't end at age 50. Our culture is so obsessed with youth and so certain that age is a time of decline, decline, decline, that we have allowed ourselves to believe that total lie. That system of thought is called "ageism." It has slithered its slimy secrets into every corner of our lives. Too often we the elders just passively accept those ageism beliefs as the guiding statement of our status in the second half of life.
Have you forgotten that, just as the children change and grow, we who are over 50 also change and grow? Think about your own life: Are the friends of your heart the same people you loved being with when you were 45? Are they your best friends forever today? Sometimes yes, and that is why we often feel that "old friends are the best friends." However, is that true of every friend you had at that time? No. We move away from friends who once shared our interests, but have now moved on to different interests. So have we. Stay with me here. The above sentences demonstrate how you have continued to change and to grow even though you are past 50. Ponder the idea. You will come up with many examples of how you are continuing to grow, develop and change.
The growing, changing and ultimate maturing that the children do continues into every age of our lives, but that is a truth so, so easy for us to forget and even ignore.
Toby and I have just returned from a visit to the land of Israel. The unforgettable experiences we had there have sent us into frenzy here at home. What is the frenzy? It's reviewing world history (by borrowing our grandchildren's textbooks) and comparing what we learned years ago to what we learned last week. We scour the Bible itself to put Old and New Testament verses into the context of what we saw and did and learned. We are paying more attention to current events because we now understand where many of those countries are actually located. We understand a bit more about possible reasons, both historical and current, for their never-ending conflicts. Please understand it is not my intent to put us into the company of learned scholars and educators who have studied these matters for years, and have published learned treatises on the subject.
It is my intent, however, to demonstrate that though continuing to age, Toby and I are changed by that one experience. Furthermore, because of the experience, we are excited to learn more and more of things that our younger lives kept us too busy to research and study.
A second point: As our young children move from one milestone to the next, do we take time to criticize the previous milestone? Let's say our child graduates middle school and moves on to high school. As a parent, high school takes a lot of supportive time and wise energy. Do we waste that time in constant criticism of the old middle school? In context, that seems unwise, doesn't it? If our child is happily in middle school, does it make sense to spend our valuable time in criticism and complaints about his elementary school? No. We have moved on.
Let's say the old middle school did not hire the teachers and administrators that we would have chosen. Let's say that the same school attempts to educate in a way that we think is flawed and ineffective. Does it make any sense at all for us to snipe, gripe, whine and complain about that middle school? Does it make any sense at all for us, from our distant vantage point, to spend our efforts to muster every possible argument in the hopes of convincing the "old" school leaders that they are wrong and we were right?
I respectfully submit that it does not. Our child, our interest here, has moved on to high school. He/she is growing in a new way, completely independent of the old. We have new administrators, new teachers and new wind mills with which to joust. As we review our lives, and realize that as adults and older adults we are still growing, it is a big mistake to become mired in the past, whether recent or years ago. It stunts our personal growth and delays our enriching journey to new plateaus.
Here's the thing: Dwelling in our past and holding on tight to the hurts, grief and insistent dogma of our own thoughts, interferes with our growth at any age, but especially as elders. We must ignore the ageism all around us and, as my friend Sandy Lundahl has written, we can adopt the challenge of "moving mindfully toward the full, rich wholeness of the second half of life."
Thank you for reading. Stay well. See you next week.

Q: how to give object class to the function Here is the code

copy-pasted code:
const check = async <Entity>(

      ) => {
        if (ObjectUtil.areChanged(memberUser.client, data, 'employmentTypeId')) {
          const beforeEmploymentType = await manager.findOneOrFail(Entity, memberUser.client.employmentTypeId);
          const afterEmploymentType = await manager.findOneOrFail(EmploymentType, data.employmentTypeId);
        }
      }

How can I add any object class to the function? It gives 'Entity' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.

A: Since all types are erased after compilation, and so are type parameters (<Entity>), there's no such thing as Entity at runtime, so you cannot use it anywhere but in type annotations.
You need to pass it as a value to your function, like this:
const check = async (Entity: ???) => { ... }

I can't figure out a type for Entity parameter, because I cannot really tell what it is and how it's used from your example, but you can look for constructs like typeof MyClass to pass a class itself as a parameter, or { new(): MyClassInstance } for just something that can be called with new keyword. I've made some examples here.

A: There is needed to add EntityTarget to implement any Entity class, it looks like:
const check = async <Entity, A>(
    manager: EntityManager,
    entity: EntityTarget<Entity>,
    base: A,
    key: keyof A,
) => {
  const beforeEntity = await manager.findOneOrFail(entity, base[key]);
};

So the using would be
await check(manager, Room, booking, 'roomId');

Cycling for Thursday, 11/20 has been CANCELLED at the WTF.
I've been involved with triathlons since 2002. Close friends of mine had just started doing triathlons and they were having a ball and feeling the benefits of cross-training. With my running background, I decided to join in the fun, and added swimming and cycling to my training. I was confident I could swim, with work, having grown up on Lake Champlain and having ridden the hills of Burlington, Vermont, on a 10 speed bike when I was a student at the University of Vermont.
My local hero is Samuel Clemence, age 75. Sam is a soulmate Lake Placid Ironman training partner. Ironman pal Rich O'Neil and I went to Sam's retirement party recently as he retired as a Syracuse University Meredith Professor within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. I was deeply touched to hear firsthand about his enthusiastic transfer of knowledge, inspiration, passion, critical thinking and integrity to his student base over the years. He has shared this same positive spirit and tenacity through his accomplishments with his triathlon "students" and family.
I was the captain of my small high school cross country and track teams. I've thoroughly enjoyed many sports including skiing (my passion), cross-county skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, kayaking, waterskiing and scuba diving in addition to swimming, biking and running. I would love to try winter hiking in the future. I've enjoyed building on distance over the years. You all know that once you do your first 5K run, your interest and crazy aspirations turn to the next goal and others often inspire you or talk you into more. I've run 11 marathons (excluding Ironman), including a couple of Boston marathons, and have completed numerous triathlons, including Lake Placid Ironman twice. Some of my PRs are: 10K, 45:37, Auburn Great Race; half marathon, 1:40, Tucson; marathon, 3:43, Mohawk Hudson; half Ironman, 5:27 Tupper Lake; Ironman, 12:35, Lake Placid.
I'd have to say running is my strongest sport, not because I am fast but because I've been through so many miles that I've learned what my body can and can't do. Furthermore, I have thoroughly enjoyed the mental outlet, cardio value and social benefit of the sport. I'm excited that I still have plenty to learn and to improve with my cycling and swimming.
My first triathlon in 2002 was the St. Croix VI sprint triathlon on a rented mountain bike. I remember the island-start swim and large waves with tropical rain pummeling my back. I was thrilled that I wasn't doing the slick-road half Ironman course, including the "Beast." I also had a ball when I met and chatted with pro Joanna Zeiger's husband out on the bike. He was doing his first tri too.
Ironman Lake Placid 2005. I had massive butterflies in my stomach as I arrived in Lake Placid. I vividly remember hitting the point that I knew I was ready for the race–I had gone to Placid Planet around 5 a.m. the day prior to the race to get my derailleur tweaked and I cycled out onto Mirror Lake Drive alone to work through my gears when I saw the fog lift on Mirror Lake to reveal the red tetrahedral buoys at the swim turn. What a pure, unexpected and glorious fog-lift "sign" to know I was ready! Also, I burst out laughing on race day when I was in the water with the helicopter overhead and the swim was so tight my first strokes were the dog paddle. I knew my family would laugh at me if they saw me on TV. Lastly, after the race I was so amazed and fulfilled by the athletic goals set and results accomplished by other people after I shared my Ironman journey story with them.
Thankfully, I haven't had many bad race experiences. For my first marathon, the Vermont City Marathon, after having been encouraged by Lindsey Reider and Eric Prager to run the event, I gratefully ran 22 miles with Bobby Angotti. I crossed the finish line happily only to have my entire thighs and calves seize up with cramping. I had to be carried away; I quickly learned about electrolyte replacement.
What races are on your race calendar for 2014?
Nationals, Olympic distance in Wisconsin; Henderson Harbor tri (love this one); Skinnyman and others.
I am focusing on Olympic distances, speed work and perhaps a half Ironman, which is in tune with my training buddy Monique Cuyler. Professionally, I am working on my PMP (Project Management Professional) certification by year's end, which is a large commitment.
I hope to enjoy great health and new athletic accomplishments with varying locations and venues, as part of a balanced life. Another Ironman may be in the future…2015? I'd like to continue to inspire and assist others to achieve memorable athletic accomplishments, at any level.
I once roller skated for 24 hours for a charitable cause when I was a teenager. That might have been my first endurance experience.
Triathlon has brought thorough enjoyment to me alongside great friends! The triathlon journeys have been such an important part of my life and balance. The hard work, laughter and memories have been amazing. Triathlon buddies over the years include Sam Clemence, Rich O'Neil, MJ Reinhart, Karen Allen-Turner, Lynn Festa, Monique Cuyler, Robin Cottrell, Ann Haley, Marlene Cleary, Sue Shopiro, the Ginny and Bob Burton cellar cycling crew and my Camillus neighborhood running ladies.
2nd Monday of each month from7:00 to 8:15 PM at the WTF.
Throughout the past few years I am sure that you, like me, have noticed that every weekend you could sign up for a different race. You have so many choices–whether it be a full or half marathon, a 5k, a full or half triathlon or a sprint triathlon. There are so many–how do you decide?
Today I am asking you to choose one, the Cazenovia Triathlon. The Cazenovia Triathlon, which is hosted by the CNY Triathlon Club, is held on Sunday, August 10.
This race is Central New York's premier triathlon, located in beautiful Cazenovia, NY. This race offers something for everyone, sprint and Olympic distances, as well as aqua bike courses and a relay for the team players. How can you say no?
It offers a great bike course with fantastic views that challenges you. And if this is holding you back, we are offeringno drop rides throughout the summer to get ready for the race. Take advantage! Sign up and support your club!
I have done this race twice and it is one of my favorites. It is a well run and organized event. It is held at a great location. Sign up, what are you waiting for? And as an incentive, if you sign up between today and Father's Day you have the opportunity to win a Polar HRM.
Support the Cazenovia Triathlon, it's our tri!
No Drop Rides The CNY Triathlon Club is hosting "No Drop Rides" on the Cazenovia Triathlon course. This is an opportunity to ride the course with a bike leader and, no matter what your riding level, you will not be alone. Our bike leaders, Sam Sampere, Ben Rabin and Tanya Woldbeck Gesek, will help you with the climbs and your gears. Don't miss out on this great opportunity.
Open Water Swims The following are the dates for our open water swims during the 2014 season. Please remember that registration for the open water swim is required and we are limited to 100 spots per date. Registration opens two weeks prior to the swim dates. And as a reminder, we also need volunteers for all of these dates.
OCC Bike Ride The Onondaga Cycling Club is hosting a ride on the 70.3 course starting at Jamesville Beach after our open water swim onSaturday, June 14 at 9 a.m. The cost of the ride is $20 and it includes lunch. To register, go to onondagacyclingclub.org or bikereg.com/occ-ironman-70.3-warmup.
Syracuse 70.3 Homestay The Syracuse 70.3 organization is looking for volunteers to host professional triathletes over the June 22 Syracuse 70.3 weekend. This is a great opportunity for CNY Triathlon Club members. If you are interested and you agree to host an athlete you will coordinate with Tim Taber (host captain) to determine the athlete's needs. Outside of a place to stay, nothing out of the ordinary is required. If you are interested in this great opportunity, email Tim Taber at timtaber@gmail.com.
For the Wednesday night trainings, please remember there are no signups this year, but each site can only allow 200 members to participate. Why? Safety reasons and neighborhoods. It isn't the OWS (open water swims), but having 200 cyclists and runners out on the roads that limits the number of members that can participate.
Also, we strongly urge each member to volunteer one Wednesdayduring the summer. It's vital for athlete safety and important to build club camaraderie. The site directors are volunteers and are out there every Wednesday for three months. One Wednesday per member isn't a lot to ask.

Intelligence play is an enormous topic, and one that hits buttons for so many people... including us. Making your partner dumber, giggly, and horny... And so much beyond that, with so much variety. sleepingirl has a hard time with this topic because it hits these buttons for her, so perhaps you can especially enjoy her embarrassment through the whole episode. But oh man, when we get to the trance portion... Well. You'll see.

The Berrien Co. Community Development Dept. drafted an August 2008 document that describes Benton Harbor's 2000 Census Bureau demographics (among other things). It reports that Benton Harbor, MI, has a population of 10,641 (based on 2006 estimates); a median family income of $19,250; a total of 28% of residents without a high school diploma; and a young population where 49.2% of its people are under 25 years of age.
What it didn't report is that Benton Harbor is also 92.4% African American, and it's one of eight cities in Michigan with the highest poverty rates (at 42.6%, according to the Census Bureau). Other cities include Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck, Muskegon Heights, Pontiac, Flint, and Saginaw.
It's these dynamics–harmless on paper but socioeconomically volatile in reality–that caused the June 2003 riot in Benton Harbor. These factors also contributed to the August 2008 prison sentencing of BANCO spokesman, Rev. Pinkney, for quoting the Bible against the community's oppressors.
Today is Rev. Edward Pinkney's 60th birthday. What he needs–what Benton Harbor needs–most is for other activists and people who advocate for their communities to speak up on behalf of him and other Benton Harbor residents! At every opportunity he had, Rev. Pinkney spoke about his concerns for the city's youth and the lack of jobs and educational opportunities to help them get out of poverty.
Rev. Pinkney has continued to speak from behind bars at Ojibway Correctional Facility, in Marinesco, MI–nearly 500 miles and 9 hours from his wife and friends–a decision by the courts and state to further foment the injustice. Rev. Pinkney is also running as a Green Party candidate for the 6th Congressional District in Michigan. The Associated Press recently interviewed him from prison and the story has been picked up by mainstream media.
Rev. Pinkney's attorneys are calling for more public support toward the ACLU appeal case. Please sign the online petition and write a clemency letter of support for Rev. Pinkney.

'Surviving R. Kelly' documentary screening evacuated due to threats
By Emanuella Grinberg, CNN
Updated 5:48 AM EST, Wed December 05, 2018
(CNN) A New York screening of the Lifetime documentary "Surviving R. Kelly" was evacuated after "several anonymous threats were called in," the network said.
Theater management at NeueHouse Madison Square evacuated the building after receiving a threatening phone call, a NYPD spokesperson told CNN.
An unknown caller said that if the film continued to play, someone inside the theater would start shooting, the spokesperson said.
"As a precaution, the network chose to evacuate the building. The safety and security of our panel, guests and staff is of paramount importance to Lifetime," the network said.
The threats were noncredible, a spokesperson for NeueHouse Madison Square said. "We followed appropriate safety protocols in collaboration with the NYPD and elected to postpone the event. We stand by the creative women bringing these heroic stories to light."
Lifetime describes the forthcoming series as an investigation into the controversial singer in which women come forward "with new allegations of sexual, mental and physical abuse."
Kelly has long been the subject of allegations of sexual abuse and mistreatment of women and girls. He has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crimes connected with the women's allegations.
Those involved in the film and others in attendance called the threat an attempt to intimidate and silence Kelly's accusers.
"Calling in a noncredible threat to the NYPD to interrupt our screening is an act of desperation from people who don't want these truths shared with the world," Executive Producer and Showrunner Dream Hampton said in an email to CNN.
Time's Up takes aim at R. Kelly
"The survivors who bravely sat with me for this docuseries know all to well what R. Kelly is capable of, every one of them has stories of being abused and controlled by him."
Some of those women were at the private screening, along with others who have come forward against Kelly in the past, said activist Tarana Burke, who appears in the film and was at the screening.
Also in attendance were Gretchen Carlson, who screened a trailer for her forthcoming Lifetime series, and several prominent writers and social media influencers including Jamilah Lemieux and Feminista Jones.
The evacuation came about 20 to 30 minutes into the screening, Burke told CNN. A Lifetime executive entered the theater with a security team and said they had received a threat.

As the attendees went outside, police were setting up a perimeter outside the venue, she said. Burke and others immediately began sharing news of the evacuation on social media.
"We don't want whoever tries to intimidate us and shut the situation down to feel like they won, because the doc will air and the stories will be told," she said.
"These women who come forward to tell their stories are innocent victims. They volunteered to put their lives on display -- they don't deserve this kind of harassment."
Some of the women were visibly upset as they exited the venue, said civil rights lawyer Anurima Bhargava. The evacuation came at a point in the film where Kelly's background is explored, and the mood inside the theater was somber.
Then, suddenly, the tone of the event became angry as attendees -- many of whom had traveled from across the country -- realized what was going on.
"This is the playbook. Every time you have voices come forward, there is this very strong effort to stop them," she said. "It is a re-traumatization."
CNN's Mark Morales and Sandra Gonzalez contributed to this story.

MUMBAI: New age private sector lenders, in order to gain market share, are finding value in partnerships with financial technology startups which would help them build innovative payment solutions, and they have begun giving startups access to their APIs, or Application Programme Interface, to make these partnerships seamless.
Banks such as RBL Bank, IndusInd Bank and Yes Bank have opened up their APIs so that their systems could be directly integrated with the bank's systems ensuring smooth and fast sharing of data between various players.
API, in simple terms, is like a thread which helps two systems belonging to different companies interact with each other.
Historically, it has only been startups which have developed such open systems so that various applications could be integrated. Now, with banks opening up their APIs, more solutions for the retail customers are possible. This directly allows fintech companies to process transactions done at their customer service points through the banks in a jiffy. The major areas which get directly benefited are domestic money transfer and prepaid cards business.
"We have received 5.3 crore hits on our APIs and have almost processed Rs 2,519 crore worth of transactions. In April alone, we processed Rs 330 crore worth of business amounting to 6,60,000 transactions in a month. For a bank to go and get this done by himself is almost impossible on account of the sheer logistics," said Rajeev Ahuja, head of strategy at RBL Bank.
By opening up their APIs, banks have reduced the time taken for fintech companies to process transactions. Yes Bank opened its API recently to Snapdeal and allowed the ecommerce company to route their 'Refunds' through them. Hence time required to refund is reduced to an hour from a week.
"Previously we had to make an excel sheet containing all the data regarding the money that got transferred through us and had to upload it onto the bank's corporate interface, which then would get processed. This would require a lot of manual file sharing. Now with API integration, this process has become automated and fast," said Anish Williams, CEO of Transerve which is a business correspondent to RBL Bank.
While opening up of the bank's interface makes processes very easy, it also exposes the bank's platform to malware which could harm the bank's database.
Since banks deal in public money security becomes extremely critical. Thus RBL Bank has developed around 140 different functions to dissuade any attacks on the system. ICICI Bank which recently had organised 'ICICI Appathon' only exposed dummy APIs as they were hesitant in sharing their own interface with outsiders.
"We follow methods like having a private secured channel, mutual authentication techniques to establish a right connect with third parties and further it's ensured that the data is encrypted and obfuscated. Further there are also some inbuilt checks which are triggered before processing the data received from trusted third parties," said Ritesh Pai, country head, Digital Banking, Yes Bank.
