The Curious Case of a Girls' School
Almost everyone who has seen my class 10th marksheet has asked me this very question "Did you appear for class 10th exam as a private student?" and they had a reason to ask, for my marksheet mentioned the school name as "St. Joseph's Convent Girls' Hr. Sec. School" and only possible reason they could think of, was that it might've been the exam centre. I no longer show the marksheet to anyone, since owing to technological advancements made in these years, people may change the question. For the record, No, I didn't convert!
Then why did the marksheet had that weird occurrence of "Girls'"? This question is what I want to address in this post once and for ever.
My father, now retired, worked for a public sector bank and as such had a transferable job. After I had finished class 5, he had to move to this city called Saugor. I guess there were fewer schools in the city at that time (we are talking about 33 years ago). There was a state run school called "Model school" that catered only to boys. Then there was another called "Maharani Laxmi Bai school" that catered only to girls. The preferred acronym for this school was MLB but people, including the students of the school themselves, found it funnier to call it by its Hindi acronym "Malaba" which translates to "Debris" in english. My father zeroed in to St Joseph's Convent which was a co-ed school and surely did not have that "Girls'" in its name.
Things went fine for a few years and then suddenly the school management begin to realize that it was very hard to keep the adolescent boys in discipline, and the city didn't deserve a co-ed school. For record again, this decision had nothing to do with me. The school name was thus changed on papers, and new admissions for boys were stopped.
I gave my exam for 10th class and since my father had another transfer, we moved to Indore. When the results were declared, I made a short trip to Saugor to collect the marksheet and the school leaving certificate, and then realized that the changed name had made way into our marksheets too, something that I could do nothing about.
It's not surprising that, later in Indore, I selected Tilokchand Jain school for next two years. It was a boys-only school and probably I didn't want to take another chance.
Years later, I was posted at a place called Satna and that city Saugor fell enroute. It was during one of my travels that I happened to meet few students, all boys, who claimed to be student of St. Joseph's Convent.
"But isn't that a Girls' school now?", I surprisingly asked. No it was not, and the students were not even aware of the the events that took place years ago.
What happened to the decision to make the school a girls-only school? This is a question that I don't have answer to, and I end this post without one. It's not to leave the possibility for a sequel post, but with a hope that someone, someday, would post the answer in the comments section below. Are you the one?
down the memory lane
Learning ProcessingJS, While Sketching Sudoku Puzzle
Sudoku has been sort of "Hello World" for me, whenever I sat down to learn a new computer language or framework. This lead to various versions of "Sudoku Tutor" that I developed using Excel (yes, that Microsoft one!), VBScript, vanilla Javascript, JQuery, Chrome App framework and so on.
When I drew first Sudoku using Canvas element in HTML, it didn't impress me. The code I had to write was much complicated then any others I had previously written. Then I found ProcessingJS on Khan Academy. It made working with Canvas much simpler and soon I could prepare printable Sudoku, Kakuro, Loop-the-Loop and Hitori puzzles. That was in 2015.
Back to present... I decided to sit again relearning ProcessingJS sans Khan Academy, and develop Sudoku player to play on mobile phone. The result, as of now, is something that you can see in video at bottom where I solved 2 Sudoku, 2 Loops and one each of Kakuro and Hitori in around 35 minutes.
We will start with a plain sketch of…
Few days back, I happened to stumble upon a post in a forum where the question poster had asked for guidance on the computer model and configuration he should go for, and whether he should wait for upcoming better configurations.All the answers to the question mentioned one or the other configuration. For the part "should wait or not" most gave the standard analogy "it's like getting married and later regretting that you could have gotten a better model only if you had waited a little more"...... one of the answerer added "my first computer had a meagre 2 GB hard disk"... He then reiterated "mind you, that's 2 GB hard disk and not RAM..." This closing remark just blew me, for it made me go down the memory lane..Just 2 GB hard disk? The first computer that my father bought for me way back in 1997, a Pentium 133 MHz system had a whooping 1 GB hard disk...A 386 DX computer that my cousin bought in 1995 had 240 MB hard disk. This was the ver…

Shed your insecurity, India tells Pakistan
June 14, 2010 17:03 IST
Ahead of its engagement in the process of bridging "trust deficit" with Pakistan, India has asked it to "shed its insecurity" on asymmetries in sizes and capabilities between them, including the strategic leverage gained after Indo-US nuclear deal, as they were not targeted against it.
Emphasising that as the two countries commence the exercise of overcoming the difficulties in the relationship, it was important to reiterate a few points, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said India seeks a stable, peaceful and economically progressing Pakistan.
"Secondly, we sincerely desire peace with Pakistan. Thirdly, we have to learn to live with the asymmetries in our sizes and capabilities. Such differences of scale should not deter us from working with each other. Pakistan should shed its insecurity on these counts," she said.
Despite "misguided and serious provocations", India has exhibited true restraint, Rao said. She asked Pakistan to prevent the entry of radical ideology into the domain of religion, and, the consequent implications for peace and security between India and Pakistan, making differences over Kashmir even more difficult.
Radical, terrorist forces are also increasingly battling for larger space in a deadly struggle that seeks to overwhelm moderate, democratic forces in Pakistani civil society, the foreign secretary said.
"The writing on the wall must be seen," she said. Terrorism as a continuation of war by other means and the use of terrorist groups selectively as strategic assets against India cannot and must not continue, she said.
"As an intrinsic part of the long-term vision of relations it desires with India, Pakistan must act effectively against those terrorist groups that seek to nullify and, to destroy the prospects of peace and cooperation between our two countries," Rao said in her address at the Afghanistan-India-Pakistan 'Trialogue' organised by Delhi Policy Group on Sunday.
The last 60 years have had more than their share of bitterness, recrimination, mistrust, misunderstanding and miscommunication, where these two countries are concerned, she said.
"The road ahead is a long and winding one. But as fellow travellers, India and Pakistan must tackle the challenges of this rocky road with the belief that a secure and prosperous future vitally and crucially depends on our ability to do so."
The remarks come ahead of the meetings between the foreign secretaries this month and Foreign Ministers next month who have been directed by their respective prime ministers to work out the modalities of restoring trust and confidence in the relationship thus paving the way for a substantive dialogue on all issues of mutual concern.

Terumo completes acquisition of Sequent Medical for $280m
MicroVention, a fully-owned unit of Japan-based Terumo Corporation, has completed the purchase of Sequent Medical , a privately-held medical device firm based in Aliso Viejo, California.
What's missing from your IPO industry assessment?
IPO activity all but stopped in 2020, as the investment community grew wary of the effects of COVID-19 on economies. No matter how deserving a business was of flotation, momentum was halted by concerns of when a 'new normal' of working patterns and trade would set in. Recently, sentiment has changed. Flotations picked up again during the second half of 2021, and now in 2022 the mood is decidedly optimistic. Business leaders have their eyes on fast rebounding economies, buoyant market indices and the opportunity once again to take their businesses public. As a result, global IPOs are expected to hit back this year. With GlobalData's new whitepaper, 'IPOs in Consumer and Retail: 5 must-include elements for your prospectus industry report', you can explore exactly what is needed in the essential literature. GlobalData's focus lies in the critical areas to get right:
Macroeconomic and demographic environment

Terumo paid $280m to Sequent Medical and up to $100m will be paid based on the achievement of specific developments.
Sequent has European operations based in Bonn, Germany.
"Our goal is to blend the two companies together seamlessly and to quickly get to work on adding the WEB to our expanding portfolio of neurovascular products."
The purchase of Sequent was earlier announced on 14 June, 2016.
Sequent developed the WEB Aneurysm Embolisation System, a commercial device in a new category of aneurysm embolisation systems referred to as intrasaccular flow disruptors.
Terumo subsidiary MicroVention president and CEO Richard Cappetta said: "We are very pleased to add Sequent Medical, including its outstanding research and development capacity, its unique WEB system and its talented team to the MicroVention family.
Terumo intends to integrate most of Sequent Associates into it. Currently, MicroVention is in the process of building a new worldwide headquarters that will house both the companies in Aliso Viejo.
The building is expected to be completed in mid-2017.
The WEB is based on Sequent's proprietary MicroBraid technology, which is a dense mesh constructed from a large number of extremely fine wires.
This device will be a complementary technology to MicroVention's portfolio of neurovascular products.
The WEB is intended for treatment of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous fistulae or AVF.
Sequent secured CE mark approval in 2010 to sell the the technology in all major markets in Europe.
It has already been used to treat over 3,000 patients. With this acquisition, MicroVention-Terumo will work for securing FDA approval to sell the WEB system in the US.

TUNAMI cable, one of the most famous products of OYAIDE, has been giving a huge impact to the scene as a power cable. Taking over its power and performance, our flagship speaker cable, TUNAMI NIGO, has gotten a lot of fans by its powerful and wide-range sound in superior silent background.
However, since TUNAMI NIGO has been sold as bulk cable, many customers' demands for terminated speaker cable have been growing.
Finally in the end of 2009, equipped with our new terminals, SPSL and SRBN, which were tuned up for TUNAMI NIGO, we achieved to produce TUNAMI II series in order to maximize its potential.
We have advocated the importance of noise protection which becomes a defining feature of power cable. Although we accomplished certain results by applying star-quad shielding structure to L/i 50 series, considering customer demands and trends, we pursued producing updated product with a state-of-art technology. For TUNAMI NIGO, we developed triple-layered shielding structure.
The color of its outer sheath is ceramic white which was selected with consideration of interior matching. Its 5.5sq cross-section area of the conductor has excellent vibration damping property and stable signal transmission. TUNAMI NIGO could be used as not only a speaker cable but a power cable.

Making Arrangements: LDN/CDMX
Posted by ––– on Aug 31, 2018 in Exhibitions
LUKE HART
Exhibition open now – 20 September 2018
Private View: Thursday 13 September 6.30pm – 8.30pm
Open by appointment only until end of August
From September: Fridays and Saturdays 12 – 6pm or by appointment
WBG London Projects are delighted to announce Making Arrangements: LDN/CDMX, a solo exhibition by Luke Hart which traces the artist's relocation from London to Mexico City. In Spring 2017 Luke Hart discovered that the Hackney Wick home and studio where he had based himself for the past eight years was being pulled down and redeveloped. He made the decision to leave London and find a space that could accommodate his expanding and increasingly ambitious sculptural practice. Now based in Mexico City, but traveling and working internationally, Luke has been evolving his practice and working methods to make the most of the facilities and opportunities that this new city affords him. He develops his sculptures through drawings and in maquette form – as represented here – alongside working at considerable scale, incorporating found and locally sourced material and local industrial expertise. The exhibition consists of a number of new works on paper related to a major project that I undertook in the last year in Mexico City and Cananea, Mexico, as well as the prototype sculpture that led to this project, and was made before I left London.
Speaking of this transitional process, Luke has said:
"As I lost the studio I worried about how I would continue my sculptural practice without my workshop, as I became less rooted. When I first was in Mexico, Manuel Muñoz invited me to use his workshop in the mining town of Cananea, in Sonora near the U.S. border. He also gave me access to material from his extensive collection of industrial scrap metal salvaged from 100 years of mining and industrial activity in the area. I subsequently developed an idea that I had first built in my former London studio, shown here, into the 2-tonne sculpture that was shown in 'Synergia' at the Galeria de Arte Mexicano in Mexico City and which also served as the starting point for the work in this exhibition. These works, while graphic are also sculptural in nature, in my mind, and are continuing to fuel the development of further works, applications, and arrangements, and I'm continuing to try to figure out new methods to build things without being fixed in one place."

Venice, 2018
The above image shows the scrap yard in Cananea where Manuel Muñoz's collection and workshop are. The large funnel shaped part in the foreground was cut into 19 pieces for the 2-tonne sculpture Chain-Link Twist II: Unrolled Cone, that was exhibited in Synergia in Mexico City early this year.

The Noose Tightens
March 28, 2005 8:57 pm / Victor Davis Hanson
His new Middle East neighborhood cannot make Syria's dictator Bashar Assad very happy. Turkey is democratic to his north. A million Arabs vote in Israel to the south. Palestinians are near civil war to establish democratic rule — their own terrorists more a threat to the newly elected Abu Abbas than are Israeli tanks.
Iraq to the east is settling down under its new autonomy, forging through blood and fire the Arab world's first true democracy. Lebanon is now afire with anti-Syrian sentiment, equating its occupation with the last obstacle to a democratic renaissance.
Beyond Syria's borders, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's announcement that he may be forced to act as if he will hold real elections is not welcome to Assad. Nor is the strange behavior of once-kindred Col. Moammar Gadhafi and all his unexpected talk of giving up forbidden weapons and letting Westerners back into Libya.
When Wahhabist Saudi Arabia promises municipal elections, or Afghan women line up at the polls for hours, then the world has been turned upside down. Syria's worst nightmare is not an American invasion, but an Arab League that is dominated by nascent democracies.
Thugocracies and kleptocracies, however, die hard. So will that of Bashar Assad. His henchmen probably blew up former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, in fears that the Westernized entrepreneur dreamed of an open Arab Singapore or Monaco on the border. Now they are planning to unleash enough 1970s-style violence to terrify the Lebanese into preferring Syrian order to their own messy freedom. Hand-in-glove with fellow pariah Iran, Syria hopes to keep sending enough cash and expatriates back into Iraq to stop the democracy contagion before it infects any more.
The elder Hafez Assad once wiped the Syrian city of Hama off the map — in the manner that Egyptian dictator Gamel Nasser had once gassed the Yemenis and Saddam Hussein had done the same with the Kurds. Now Assad is desperately reshuffling the old "hate the Jews" card, the "hate the Americans" card, the "Iraqi traitors" card, the "Lebanese infidels"' card — anything to avoid the simple question of how did this pathetic gangster come to run Syria?
Young Assad knows that he was plopped down on a tiger from which he cannot jump off. Ex-Middle East dictators do not go quietly into the night in southern France. They usually are dragged at high noon through the street by a mob.
The terrorists of the Bekka Valley, the Hezbollah operatives in Damascus, the thousands of the Syrian Gestapo, the ex-Baathists and al-Qaidists who roam freely over the Syria border, all these killers won't take lightly to reform — especially the drainage of one of their last lagoons of unfettered terrorism in the Middle East. So things could get far worse before they improve, as the noose tightens around this last, increasingly desperate Assad.
Forces are now in play that cannot be stopped, in part because the United States ceased the old realpolitik of appeasing the violent autocracies of the Middle East. The Taliban are history. So is Saddam. Arafat was ostracized and died in shame. Troops are gone from Saudi Arabia. Palestinians are voting. Oil is sky-high and Arabs are making a killing from their cartels and monopolies.
For Assad, three years of all this — and the democratic ferment that has followed — are nothing short of a catastrophe. Even the old propaganda about "Zionists," "colonialists," "oil thievery" and "American imperialism" can't quite avert the reckoning on the horizon.
More worrisome to him is the attitude of the American people. They no longer recoil from the staged venom of the Arab Street or the veiled threats of Middle East dictators. American diplomats no longer sit for hours on the tarmac in Damascus to beg an Assad to be nice. Nor after the sacrifice in Iraq, does the warning to turn loose Hezbollah against Americans scare us into easy appeasement. Expect the United States not to rest, but to press Syria further to democratize and rejoin civilization.
It used to be that if Americans were not convinced that they were perfect, then they despaired that they were no good — and so pulled out. Not now. We have weathered everything from Michael Moore to Abu Ghraib, and come out on the other end to hear former Arab terrorists and leftwing British and German newspapers now suddenly asking, "Was George Bush Right?"
The wily Europeans tended to ignore or profit from Arab tyranny. But not now. Even they are scrambling to make sure that their vaunted "soft power" is not made irrelevant by this new type of American idealism backed by force.
What is the lesson from all this? Far more enduring than terrorism and death itself is freedom. That is what Bashar Assad fears will do him in.
And he is right. It will.

Q: Trying to dismiss table when a selection has been made in popup View I'm calling this from my ViewController.m
When I've selected a row from the popup I'm trying to call the below controller
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    ...

    TSPopoverController *dismiss = [[TSPopoverController alloc]init];
    [dismiss dismissPopoverAnimatd:YES];

}

Found in class: TSPopoverController.m

                             }
                             completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                                 [self.contentViewController viewDidDisappear:animated];
                                 popoverView=nil;
                                 [self.view removeFromSuperview];
                                 self.contentViewController = nil;

            self.titleColor = nil;
            self.titleFont = nil;
        }

    }
}

When I try to call the method:
- (void) dismissPopoverAnimatd:(BOOL)animated

Nothing happens. Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to get this popOverView to disappear when I have made my selection in the popovertable?

A: I think the problem is you are instantiating the popover again in your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method. Instead you should create a member and use it to dismiss. See this answer.

A: I solved it by adding:
@interface ViewController ()<UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
{
    TSPopoverController *popoverController;
}

Then I just called this in the below function:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    ...

Today, the very nature of families and relationships is evolving. It is our hope that showcasing stories such as an interracial romantic relationship and a platonic marriage with a child will help society continue to evolve and become more open to and accepting of all forms of love and connection.
Perfect examines modern day relationships, balancing the struggle of living the life you've always wanted with what you're willing to give up in exchange.
When you look at a couple sitting in a café or walking down the street holding hands, you might think, "They seem like the perfect couple!" But do we really know what's going on behind closed doors? Why are these two people together? What makes them work? It's an answer that only the couple can give. No one truly knows but the two of them.
This film also asks the question, "What are we willing to give up in order to 'have it all'?" There's no formula for the perfect life. We all make do with what we are given, no matter what anyone thinks.
Anything can happen in a night. Everything can change. People can be different than they seem. Perfect shows what happens when truths are exposed, revealing that what one person might believe to be perfect can be so much deeper.

Dominic Raab: One kick and the Tory karate kid bloodies No 10
The MP with a black belt may have lost an amendment that threatened to split his party over the Immigration Bill but he scored a personal victory, with some tipping him for high office
Sunday February 02 2014, 12.01am, The Sunday Times
There was more whip action in the Commons on Thursday than in Christian Grey's "Red Room of Pain" in Fifty Shades of Grey, according to one political sketchwriter. Another said the Immigration Bill amendment — which hardly sounds likely to set the pulse racing — had detonated a "parliamentary explosion that must have left a shell-shocked Tory high command".
Dominic Raab, the 39-year-old backbencher who lit the blue touchpaper, sat calmly consulting his notes as government emissaries darted about attempting to cajole MPs into voting down his proposal to curb the power of judges to block deportations under article 8 of the European convention on human rights.
Raab's move — which prompted what Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, exultantly called a "car crash" for

1941 Paper Play Ball Ted Williams Got the Upper Hand Got the Upper Hand
filename 1941-paper-play-ball-ted-williams.eBay.txt
ebay slug : 1941-paper-play-ball-ted-williams
Man, the summer of 1941 was really something special, huh?
OK, maybe you don't actually remember that season, near on 80 years in the rearview now, but, still … you're a baseball fan.
You'll never forget the 1941 season.
That was the year when Joe DiMaggio put together his 56-game hitting streak.
It was also that year that Ted Williams hit .406, still the last player to maintain .400 for a full season, yet lost out on the American League MVP award (to Joe D., of course).
And, it was the last season before the United States officially joined the fray of World War II, which decimated every aspect of American life, including Major League Baseball. Scores of players lost playing time to military service from 1942-45.
Baseball card collectors, few as there may have been, felt the pinch, too.

But first …
After a decade of scant and mostly unimpressive issues due to the ravages of the Great Depression, hobbyists were treated to a colorful 1941 Play Ball set.
The 72-card set was a veritable masterpiece compared to the black-and-white or sepia issues that surfaced in 1939 and 1940, and there really hadn't been too much pizzazz since the mid-1930s when Goudey dominated … other than Goudey's own 1938 Heads Up set.
Not only did 1941 Play Ball bring back a rainbow of painted images, but it featured all the stars of the day — Williams, DiMaggio, Hank Greenberg, Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Gomez … even a Pee Wee Reese rookie card.
Things were looking up, and there was more!
Somewhere along the line, Gum, Inc. (who made Play Ball), apparently decided a little promotion was in order. They fired up the printing presses and cranked out a run of paper sheets featuring 24 of the cards from the base Play Ball set … the first 24 from the set.
Printed as two 12-card sheets, these flimsier versions are identical to the "real" 1941 Play Balls, and the general consensus among hobbyists who have collected and discussed them over the years seems to be that they were salesmen samples. First-hand knowledge or from-the-source evidence is pretty much nonexistent, though, considering that eight decades have passed.
Every once in awhile even today, complete sheets pop up on the market, as do single cards (paper slips), which have been cut from sheets at some point.
And, while DiMaggio may have gotten the upper hand on Williams during the 1941 season, Teddy Ballgame won this paper-card Play Ball battle.
That's because Williams checked in at #14 in the base set, well within those first two dozen cards, while Mr. Coffee didn't show up until card #71, waaayyyyyy at the end of the set, between fellow Yankees Gomez and Bill Dickey.
And so, as America rocketed toward war, collectors got one last taste of Ted Williams, the final mainstream issue for one of the greatest hitters of all time until the first of the Baby Boomers were in diapers.
Wow! Wax of the Day
It may not be a Play Ball, but the glimpse of a 1954 Bowman Teddy Ballgame peering out from behind \cellophane wrapping has to make any longtime collector's pulse tick up, just a bit. That's what you get with this eBay lot, a 1989 Bowman rack pack with a Williams reprint right there in the third panel:
Not worth a ton in cold, hard cash, but also not your average "junk wax" thanks to the historical aspect. Check out the full eBay listing here (affiliate link).
