Super Service Award Winner – 6 years in a row!
Reliable Exterminators Earns Esteemed 2016 Angie's List Super Service Award
Award reflects company's consistently high level of customer service
Reliable Exterminators has earned the home service industry's coveted Angie's List Super Service Award, reflecting an exemplary year of customer service to members of the local services marketplace and consumer review site in 2016.
This achievement is particularly significant as Angie's List experienced unprecedented member growth in 2016. More than 1.6 million consumers, many of whom were eager to quickly hire highly qualified service pros, joined Angie's List after the company added a new, free membership tier.
"Companies that can meet higher demands without missing a beat in their exemplary performance standards truly do stand apart from their peers," said Angie's List Founder Angie Hicks. "Only a fraction of the Pest Management Industry companies in Indiana were able to do it."
Angie's List Super Service Award 2016 winners have met strict eligibility requirements, which include an "A" rating in overall grade, recent grade, and review period grade. The SSA winners must also be in good standing with Angie's List, pass a background check and abide by Angie's List operational guidelines.
"We simply treat our customers the way we would expect to be treated by working hard to provide great service at an affordable price. Earning this award for 6 years now tells us we must be doing something right," said Bob Hanstra, owner. "I want to especially thank our exemplary staff for consistently providing superior service to our loyal customers."
Service company ratings are updated daily on Angie's List as new, verified consumer reviews are submitted. Companies are graded on an A through F scale in areas ranging from price to professionalism to punctuality.
For more than 21 years, Angie's List restricted access to its verified reviews to consumers who paid membership fees. When the company removed that barrier, some companies worried that the new, non-paying members would not be as engaged as members of the past. Experience has shown, however, that these newly added members are just as engaged – across all age groups – as prior members. Also, because the company continues to adhere to its review verification process, there has been no degradation of review quality.
"The biggest change at Angie's List is that we are connecting even more consumers to high quality service professionals," Hicks said. "And that's good for everyone."
Angie's List helps facilitate happy transactions between more than 4.5 million consumers nationwide and its collection of highly rated service providers in more than 720 categories of service, ranging from home improvement to health care. Built on a foundation of more than 10 million verified reviews of local service, Angie's List connects consumers directly to its online marketplace of services from member-reviewed providers, and offers unique tools and support designed to improve the local service experience for both consumers and service professionals.

Sometimes Our Customers Surprise Us!
Sometimes our customers go above and beyond to let us know pleased they are with our services. Today in the mail we received this glowing letter from John MacOwan who has been a customer since 1972 and had an inspection by Jack Naugle. Jack was hired by our founder Charlie Partlow to open a new office in Monticello. After the success of the new office Jack, along with Charlie's nephew Jim Hanstra, bought the whole business from Charlie in 1971. Their values have been passed down from generation to generation, employee to employee, and it's wonderful to hear proof of that from one of our very own customers!
Thank you so much, Mr. MacOwan, for sharing your thoughts with us!
To: Reliable Exterminators
I have been doing business with your company since 1972 when we bought our first home in Monticello. Jack Naugle was the Reliable "bug" guy in Monticello. Jack inspected our home and your company treated it [for termites].
Over the years with numerous home inspections, rental house bug treatments and termite work, I have found your company to be honest, reliable, and professional in all of your work.
Last Friday a gentleman, Tom, from Reliable, came to look at our outbuilding which had some issues. I suspected it could be termites. It turns out, it was dry rot. Tom was very professional, informative, and helpful; and just a good guy!!
Your company name is certainly right on, and your tradition of excellence has stood the test of time.
Thank you, John MacOwan
This lovely quote will be posted on our Testimonial Page so others can read it and leave their own testimonial as well.

We Need to Destigmatize Schizophrenia. This Advocate Explains Why.
Penn State astrophysics and astronomy major Cecilia McGough might be young, but she's already left her mark on the world. She co-discovered a pulsar (a super dense neutron star), all while she was still in high school.
Cecilia also happens to live with schizophrenia, though you probably wouldn't realize it upon meeting her.
As Cecilia explains, schizophrenia is an umbrella-like diagnosis that's most commonly marked by delusions and hallucinations, although a person can have schizophrenia without either.
Cecilia hid her schizophrenia from the people closest to her, avoiding talking about the hallucinations she was seeing.
Her hallucinations — including a pale clown with red hair, spiders of various sizes, and a girl who resembled the character from "The Ring" — followed her around her college campus and made it challenging and sometimes impossible to do her homework and take tests.
During her freshman year of college, in February 2014, Cecilia's hallucinations had gotten so severe that she tried to die by suicide — which is not uncommon for people who live with schizophrenia.
About 1 percent of Americans has a form of schizophrenia, and an estimated 20 percent of people with schizophrenia make a suicide attempt.
As Cecilia explains, even in mental health communities, schizophrenia carries an intense social stigma. After one particular night's stay in the ER during college, Cecilia decided she needed another stay at the psychiatric ward to adjust her medication and get some treatment.
Despite the fact that she was willing to go, police officers were brought to her dorm room, she was patted down in front of her roommates, and she was escorted into a police car outside the dining hall where countless students witnessed the events unfolding. She had to convince the officers not to handcuff her.
But Cecilia knew she wasn't alone. Even though schizophrenia usually starts during a person's late teens and early 20s — the same years that most people are in college — she saw there wasn't a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping college students with schizophrenia.
When Cecilia began experiencing hallucinations, she didn't know where to turn and she was terrified to seek medical help.
She didn't want anyone else to feel that way — so she founded the nonprofit Students With Schizophrenia, an organization that empowers students with schizophrenia and their families.
She hopes that Students With Schizophrenia, and her efforts to be honest and open about living with schizophrenia, will make it easier for other young people to get the medical treatment they need and not feel so alone.
She regularly visits Penn State classes to talk about her experiences with schizophrenia, using it as a way to connect with other people who live with the condition.

Wyoming Highway Patrol training academy relocating to LCCC
By Tom Coulter
Via Wyoming News Exchange
CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Highway Patrol announced Monday the relocation of its trooper training academy to Laramie County Community College's main campus starting mid-January.
Through the partnership, the patrol will use dorm rooms, six office spaces, the gymnasium, the cafeteria, fitness equipment and classrooms on campus to train prospective troopers.
Officials from LCCC, WHP and the Wyoming Department of Transportation gathered Monday to discuss the move during an announcement ceremony at the college's Flex Tech Building.
During the announcement, LCCC President Joe Schaffer said the partnership will allow the college to provide opportunities to prospective troopers, while also improving the campus climate.
"I can tell you, I don't think I know of a single institution of higher education that can boast that level of engagement with law enforcement, with safety and security experts that LCCC will be able to provide," Schaffer said.
The partnership will also allow cadets going through training at LCCC to gain additional credits hours for a criminal justice degree.
"These cadets are going to be LCCC students," Schaffer said. "In a time where, as a state, we're trying to raise the level of post-secondary education attainment of our adults ... this is a very exciting opportunity for these individuals to be dually enrolled as students while also going through the academy."
Schaffer said LCCC faculty and staff are already in conversation to identify additional degree programs and pathways that will allow troopers to use their training to attain an associate's or bachelor's degree.
LCCC staff conducted a detailed analysis to ensure the campus had the capacity to take on the cadets. Schaffer said the new 352-bed dormitory currently under construction was key to creating the space to accommodate the academy.
"Without that new residence hall, we probably wouldn't have been able to have the conversation that we're having with the Highway Patrol," Schaffer said. "With it, though, I think we're naturally adding capacity at the right time to be able to allow them some fluctuation, maybe as few as 15 (cadets), but I know there's certainly some interest down the road in growing."
Wyoming Highway Patrol Col. Kebin Haller said the academy's new location could allow the patrol to save on some logistical costs. For the past 17 years, the training academy has been hosted by the Wyoming National Guard at Camp Guernsey, which Haller said was challenging, since the WHP headquarters is in Cheyenne.
"It's 100 miles one way (to Camp Guernsey) from headquarters, which is where we have our primary resources, equipment and supplies, so a lot of road time on our instructors hauling equipment back and forth," Haller said. "Being here at LCCC in the near future, that means we're just across town."
Cadets will also have more access to the patrol's firearms range and to an Emergency Vehicle Operations road course, Haller said.
As part of the move, the Highway Patrol will make a financial contribution to LCCC, and the college will make in-kind contributions back to the WHP in exchange for access to their expertise, Schaffer said.
"As the colonel mentioned, we hope it saves the Highway Patrol some funds," Schaffer said. "It certainly helps the campus, yet also finds opportunities in both cases for us to give a little of what we're able to give to where we're all more efficient."
WYDOT Director Luke Reiner said the Highway Patrol is "very close" to filling all of its 208 authorized positions.
"About 10% of the individuals who start the process are eventually sworn in," Reiner said. "It is a special and elite group, and that's what you'll have here on your campus."
Reiner added the partnership could allow for a "two-for-one," in which LCCC students might see potential career opportunities with the Highway Patrol.
"I think there's going to be some current students at LCCC who say, 'Man, that's pretty cool being a trooper. I think I should be one,' and then just sort of swap on over," Reiner said.
The academy's move to LCCC will be complete in mid-January, when about 10 trooper cadets will begin their training.

Police Shoot 13-Year-Old Boy With Autism Several Times After Mother Calls For Help
Date: September 8, 2020Author: PMW
A 13-year-old boy is in the hospital after being shot by police in Glendale, Utah, on Friday
A 13-year-old boy with autism was shot several times by police officers who responded to his home in Salt Lake City after his mother called for help.
Linden Cameron was recovering in a Utah hospital, his mother said, after suffering injuries to his shoulder, both ankles, his intestines and his bladder.
Golda Barton told KUTV she called 911 to request a crisis intervention team because her son, who has Asperger's syndrome, was having an episode caused by "bad separation anxiety" as his mother went to work for the first time in more than a year.
"I said, 'He's unarmed, he doesn't have anything, he just gets mad and he starts yelling and screaming,'" she said. "He's a kid, he's trying to get attention, he doesn't know how to regulate."
She added: "They're supposed to come out and be able to de-escalate a situation using the most minimal force possible."
Instead, she said, two officers went through the front door of the home and in less than five minutes were yelling "get down on the ground" before firing several shots. Continue Reading at Source

Queer Muslims claim space in SOMArts exhibition
Arts & Entertainment // Art & Galleries
Ryan Kost Feb. 6, 2018 Updated: Feb. 6, 2018 9:29 p.m.
A group show featuring queer, transgender and gender noncomforming Muslim artists.
Video: SFChronicle
There is a space at the heart of "The Third Muslim" reserved for Numair Abbasi, a Pakistani artist whose art frequently includes nude male bodies. His work, however, does not hang there.
Instead, there exists only a thin gold frame surrounding a note against a background of bright teal. The note informs viewers that Abbasi's work, which was to be part of a group exhibition by queer, transgender and gender-nonconforming Muslim artists at SOMArts Cultural Center, was confiscated by Pakistani authorities just days before the show was set to open. "Attempts at state control and repression, whether overt or latent, speak directly to the mandate of artists and curators to amplify acts of created resistance within the US and within diaspora."
The blank space, then, serves as a sober reminder for why the show is so necessary — and so overdue. As the curators put it, queer Muslims "continue to occupy margins within the margins."
"Without meaning to, it has grounded the space in another unfortunate aspect of this reality," says Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who curated the show with Yas Ahmed.
1of7"Bedoone Onvan/untitled" is one of the works by 14 Muslim artists on view at SOMArts through Feb. 22.

"The Third Muslim" is a considerable undertaking by Ali Bhutto and Ahmed. They've assembled work by 14 artists "ranging from Syrian to Somali to Pakistani heritage," to examine the complex identity that they both claim. Very intentionally, there is no manifesto, or single viewpoint for the show — which is, as far as Ali Bhutto can tell, the first group show of its kind. Instead, they allow the varied experiences in a very specific community speak for themselves.
"We haven't all experienced queerness in the same way and we haven't all experienced Islam in the same way," Ali Bhutto says.
This is immediately obvious in the exhibition. Some of the first works visitors see are Samra Habib's photographic portraits of people who identify as queer Muslims. Her images are spare, unpretentious in their direction. She offers up individuals as they are, eyes looking at the viewer, their faces, styles, ages, skin colors all different.
The series began some years ago, after Habib grew tired of the way Muslim narratives were being portrayed in the media. She had worked as a journalist and saw photography as "a very powerful language and a very accessible language."
"I didn't want to editorialize people's experience because they're so different," she says by phone from Toronto. "The project reflects the diversity that exists in Islam." Since her project began, she's seen the voices of queer Muslims increase and grow louder. This show is something of a marker of that. "It's refreshing," she says. "It's the beginning of something really great."
The exhibition does take care to show that queer Muslims have been making art that centers on their identities for decades now. Ali Bhutto and Ahmed wanted to make it clear they weren't starting from scratch.
Parisa Parnian, an Iranian American artist, shows some visual work as well as pieces of ephemera from a performance she did following the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City, addressing and lampooning the deep xenophobia she felt in the aftermath. "We had people like Parisa to build from," Ali Bhutto says.
There is a diversity on display that you wouldn't experience in most gallery settings. The show embraces the complicated questions of Muslim identity (whether that be religious, cultural or political), colorism and anti-blackness and the ways in which they mark the lives of certain Muslims and, then, also geography. Queer Muslims living in the United States, of course, are making very different art than those living abroad in Muslim-majority countries.
Abdullah Qureshi, a Pakistani artist living in Helsinki, says he "couldn't help but notice that the burqa was a dominant image appearing in the show." Indeed, there are burqas that blow in the wind, burqas made out of denim and other whimsical materials, and photographs of women clad in burqas surrounded by wilderness.
His work is considerably different. He offers up watercolors of nude or nearly nude men, all of whom he knew and who posed for him in his studio in Lahore. They're more overtly sexual than many of the other pieces. But it's also true that the men are anonymous in the images, their bodies something close to silhouettes. If the names are revealed, it's only done so in the titles of the pieces, but more often they carry winking phrases like "The Sent Nude" or "Selfie I."
The anonymity is partly aesthetic — a function of working with watercolors — but Qureshi also says, "It's something I'm working with and playing with because there are things about this identity that cannot be openly talked about in Pakistan." The overt sexuality is important for the same reason.
Including views from the various parts of the Muslim diaspora was an important part of the show for Ahmed and Ali Bhutto. "It's representing the plurality of experiences that even queer and trans Muslims aren't aware of," Ahmed says.
So far, the feedback to the exhibition has been very positive. Already Ahmed and Ali Bhutto have plans (and a grant) for another show next year. They want to take the concepts to other cities and other communities, highlight local artists and see what that reveals about place and experience.
"The thing that strikes me the most at this point," says Ahmed, "is that it's a living, breathing thing."

Da Major's New Release And Video "Vision" Reveals Why His Rapid Ascension As The Newest Hip Hop Star Is No Accident
A hypnotic study in tone, an intensity of purpose and reason, the feel-good vibe party anthem, capable of cutting through the humidity and making swaths of people dance or at least move their shoulders a little bit to the dance-inspired theme; this is what "Vision" brings to the table.
Exhilarating, bottling the energy of free-falling between two skyscrapers and a boisterous hip hop anthem made by a convincingly talented black superhero. He goes by his significantly appropriate weighty name "Da Major" hailing from South Carolina but is currently plying his trade in New York City.
On "Vision" he integrates the complex blend of R&B instruments, the drum machines to create a dance-inspired hip hop tune that he backs magnificently with his rapid-fire rap to design a hardcore music element. His delivery is genuine and he puts his heart and soul into this. The melodic rap song features deep emotionally vulnerable and motivational lyrics imbued with mature delivery.
His journey thus far has not been easy and he feels that music should sometimes be a bit real to reflect his belief the world is not really light or happy place, it is sometimes inundated with darkness but even if we are battling this darkness, we cannot afford to lose the vision; this is a very strong and emotional message that has been delivered with technical lyricism and expressive freedom to highlight his songwriting skills.
He drew inspiration to make music from his musical family seeing that his granddad played the guitar and was a singer, his cousin had his own studio and his brother was one of the greatest rappers he knew growing up.
He has collaborated with equally talented and like-minded artists such as Blue Hefner, B-Ice, Rich Reek, Velli, Joe Dinero and Kngsol. His debut single "Foolery" in 2019 introduced him to the rap game which was almost immediately followed by his debut album "The Real Me" produced in 2020.
He has vowed he won't stop as he wants to leave a legacy of love, joy, inspiration, and emotional honesty through his music. He will continue making music impassioned blood-lettings full of inspiration, motivation, frankness and vulnerability that listeners and young people facing similar emotional storms will be able to find comfort in.
Da Major has unapologetically promised groundbreaking songs that will provide a sense of familiarity that younger generations can gravitate towards. It's about that time!

A forum devoted to both true micro-fossils, fossils that are best observed with magnification, preparation technique for micro-fossils, microscopes, photography and thin sections.
Hi, @mike-cable! Great idea for a forum. I can share some of the microfossil identification resources from my graduate micropaleontology course. And perhaps @laura-cotton could join in on this forum as well — foraminifera are her specialty. Mike, would you be the forum moderator?
Hi @mike-cable and @egardner! Yes I would be happy to help with this. We need to spread the word that microfossils are just as cool (if not cooler) than all those macrofossils (Eleanor, I actually managed to log in again).
I'll set up a forum, then! @mike-cable, do you study a particular group of microfossils? I'm partial to foraminifera myself.

In the beginning of the 90s, our founder (Maha Guru) came to Belgium and started teaching a Nepali Full Contact Karate style known in Nepal as Buddhakado.
Since the Japanese martial arts were already settled in Europe, Maha Guru thought it would be easier for people to adapt if everything was taught in Japanese. Because of that, the name Buddhakado was changed and was known as Budokai-do (2015).
Budokai-do / Buddhakado has always strived to be an adaptive martial style. In 2002 it was really able to better represent itself within the Full Contact Karate world as a Nepali style when it changed all Japanese terminology into Nepali.
The last and final step waiting to happen was to change back to the original name of the style, Buddhakado.
Now, 2016 we are complete!
Buddhakado is an allround full contact style developed in Nepal and introduced to the rest of the world from Knokke-Heist in Belgium by Maha Guru.
Buddhakado is a martial style adapted to cope with real life situations, increasing speed, accurate delivery of kicks and blows, whilst at the same time improving confidence, concentration and inner strength.
A style that, due to its allround system, is a realistic defensive martial art with techniques that work. Using walking stance as fighting position ensures maximum mobility.
Developed & perfected to avoid head-on confrontations, focusing more on ducking, avoiding, striking from the side & back and moving in circles and half circles.
In Buddhakado, the goal is to use the opponent's blind spot to maximize the effectiveness of our techniques.
The aim of the teachings of Buddhakado is to enable anyone, big, small, strong or weak, to defend themselves with a teaching method that allows intensive training without injuries.

Raheem Cannon Launches New Course In CM Learning Academy To Aid Implementation Of Business Systems Automation
October 20, 2021 – Raheem Cannon, owner of The Cannon Movement has announced the launch of a new course in CM Learning Academy designed specifically to help entrepreneurs implement systems and automation in their businesses.
The Cannon Movement is described as an approach to life that encourages growth and maturity in all aspects of the human experience including fitness, health, and finance.
Founded by Raheem Cannon, the CM Learning Academy offers step-by-step videos and Ebooks to guide entrepreneurs on how to maximize every aspect of their businesses. Courses range from introductory lessons such as the How to Start A Business Course, to full-fledged business insights on Google Ads, Outsourcing, and the recently launched Business Systems and Automation Course.
Known today as a digital entrepreneur and business coach, Raheem says he started his journey from humble beginnings and alludes his success to his Grandmother, Mother, and Uncle from whom he learned that consistent and dedicated efforts would enable him to achieve his goals.
According to Raheem, he was only 16 years old when he decided that by the time he got to 30, he would never have to work for a company again. At that time he set certain goals in his life that he wanted to also accomplish by the time he was 30 that he knew would be beneficial for his future. Such as accomplishing his dream of having an above 800 credit score, homeownership, and successful businesses.
In 2017, Raheem launched The Cannon Movement with a focus on offering financial tips, business coaching, fitness, health, and mental wellness guidance.
Nicknamed the King of Systems and Automation, Raheem revealed that one of the major influences that spurred his pursuit of knowledge was a statistic he stumbled upon when he was 24 years old.
"I read a statistic that said most people don't read one book after high school, that stat alone made me determined to read every single book I could get my hands on." – Raheem Cannon.
The founder of two 6 figure companies and phenomenal business coach says his mission is to help millions of entrepreneurs across the world by motivating them to achieve their goals. And he accomplishes this by teaching them through his public speaking engagements, courses at CM Learning Academy, and one on one coaching sessions.

Our hopes in sharing the list on Map & Menu is that we'll have a bit of accountability and actually partake in these springtime activities we don't always get to enjoy. (Our friend Emily does a similar thing by sharing monthly progress on her her 101 in 1001!) If you have any suggestions for our list, we'd love to hear them below. Happy spring, friends!
Play a few games of tennis!
Plant our annual Easter plant, a tradition we've had since becoming homeowners.
A lunchtime picnic on the Eastern Promenade.
Polish our julep cups in preparation for many mint juleps – our favorite spring cocktail.
Attend a Portland Sea Dogs game.
Eat our weight in fiddleheads!
Plant our baby bath with herbs.
Ah! If only our strawberry season wasn't in late June, we'd be all over this suggestion. We'll have to live vicariously through our southern friends like you!
Spring will come won't it?! Love your beautiful pictorial reminders.
I forgot to send my suggestion for the list.
Plant corn mache in a pot or in the cold frame.
This is a wonderful suggestion, Karen – thanks so much!
I love how you guys took the time to sit down and think about what you wanted to do together this spring! I love that! My boyfriend is in law school and I really miss being able to plan things to do together on the weekends.
best part of this list is rosé ;) One thing on my spring list is to go picnic with friends at Valley Forge… and now thinking rosé needs to be involved!

As legislators across 19 states on Friday vote to elect 59 members to the Rajya Sabha, all eyes are fixed on a single seat in Uttar Pradesh.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is assured of winning at least eight out of the 10 Rajya Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh while the Samajwadi Party (SP) is set to win one. But the final seat – for which the BJP takes on a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate backed by the SP and the Congress – is being seen as a key political battle after the recent bypolls in Gorakhpur and Phulpur.
The election commission will hold a meeting on Tuesday, 27 March, to discuss measures to protect Indian elections from the kind of influencing that's been shown to be possible with recent revelations that political consultant Cambridge Analytica (CA) harvested Facebook data of millions and used it to subvert poll outcomes.
According to a senior official aware of the development at the Election Commission of India, which conducts elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, the body will discuss steps required to ensure that "forces that subvert the electoral process are neutralised".
Aadhaar is blind to the purpose of authentication as it only establishes identity and nothing more, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) CEO Ajay Bhushan Pandey told the Supreme Court on Thursday, 22 March, countering apprehensions that Aadhaar would result in "virtual surveillance" of citizens.
In the course of a Power-Point presentation, Pandey said Aadhaar was a tool to establish identity and was not an aggregator of data that could be misused by the government to track citizens in the manner of a big brother state.
UIDAI chief Ajay Bhushan Pandey sought to answer petitioners questioning Aadhaar's constitutional validity on the ground that it violated citizens' right to privacy.
Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia during the Budget speech.
According to an analysis by the PRS legislative research, Delhi's allocation of 26.3 percent in education was higher than the average expenditure allocated to education by 18 other states. The allocation of 12.7 percent on health was also higher than the average expenditure of 18 other states.
Parents and friends of the 15-year-old protest demanding justice.
Days after a Class IX student was found hanging at her home in Noida's Sector 52, her family and friends protested outside Ahlcon International School and the Akshardham flyover on Thursday, blocking a crucial portion of NH-24.
"It's been three days and no one has been arrested. This is complete inaction on part of the police, and we protested against that," said the brother of the 15-year-old girl.
The family alleged that she was sexually harassed by two teachers in school – a charge which was added by police to the FIR on Wednesday. After protesting outside the school in the morning, the group moved towards Akshardham flyover. The girl's family alleged that "police lathi-charged and detained them even though it was a peaceful protest".
US President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum on Thursday that could impose tariffs on up to $60 billion of imports from China, although his action was far removed from threats that could have ignited a global trade war.
Ola is Uber's fiercest rival in the Indian cab-hailing service market.
Ola and Uber drivers in Mumbai have called off their strike but their counterparts in Delhi-NCR are set a complete shutdown on Friday, 23 March.
Officials of the Sarvodaya Drivers Association, the main cab drivers' union in the NCR, said that Ola and Uber cabs will not ply in Delhi-NCR on Friday as they plan to carry out a 'large scale' protest against the app-based cab aggregators.
The taxi drivers and unions are demanding better compensation, better verification of riders and streamlining of shared duties.
Pakistan High Commissioner Sohail Mahmood returned to India late on Thursday night, in the nick of time for the Pakistan National Day celebrations which he will host on Friday.
While junior foreign minister M J Akbar has been invited as chief guest for the event, government sources here did not rule out the possibility of another junior minister attending the event in his place.
While diplomatic sources in Delhi expressed hope Mahmood's return will help turn down the heat in ties, the two countries continued to accuse each other of bullying diplomats.
Bengaluru is one of the 10 metropolitan cities besides Cape Town that is fast moving towards 'Day Zero' – a situation when taps start running dry.
Ahead of World Water Day being observed today, an analysis by Down To Earth, a magazine published by green think-tank Centre for Science and Environment, showed that at least 200 cities globally are facing a serious water crisis.


Last night I dreamed that Brendan Fraser was at our house (yeah, the actor). There didn't seem to be any particular reason for him to be there, as is the nature of dreams. He was friendly and engaging, we had a good time. He was pleased to note we had a couple of his movies on DVD, we discussed his upcoming birthday (I have no idea when Brendan Fraser's birthday is, but in my dream it was next week), and we jammed for a while (I can't remember what he played, a wind instrument like a clarinet or maybe a sax?). After a while we started talking about going out to get something to eat. Then I woke up.
Dreams, General Comments Off on WTF, Brain?
Apparently I haven't been watching enough television or something, because last night my brain provided me with this little drama.
In my dream, my youngest son and I were walking home together. He was younger than he is now, maybe ten or twelve years old. We approached the house from the back, and we saw that one of the back doors was open slightly. We immediately knew someone had broken into the house. I told my son to stay with me in case they were still inside.
We entered through the kitchen door, and I picked up my cast-iron skillet. (In real life I have often thought that thing would make an excellent weapon.) I called out loudly that we were home, and if someone was still there they should leave now.
We started through the house, checking the rooms one by one for intruders. As we started down the hall I heard a noise from the bathroom; we looked in to see a man outside the window, looking in at us with surprise. I went closer to the window to talk to him. He was a thin young black man, looking uncomfortable and a bit embarrassed. Behind him was a white 4×4 pickup I'd seen lurking around the neighborhood.
One of the older guys said, "No, she's seen us now," and they both turned to come back in.
I said to my son, "Go call 911." He vanished down the hall. I stayed in the bathroom.
One of the intruders passed the bathroom door on the way to the kitchen, following the sound of my son's voice. As he went by, I stepped out behind him and brained him with the skillet. He went down in a heap, and I turned to face the second guy, who was staring at me in surprise. Behind me I could hear my son reciting our address to the 911 operator.
The second guy turned tail and ran back the way he came. A moment later I heard the 4×4 peeling out and driving away.
The whole thing was very vivid and detailed. I remember the general clutter of the kitchen as I got the skillet, how shiny and new their 4×4 looked, how the black guy looked neat and trim and the white guys looked kind of scruffy and unkempt. I remember thinking the older men had somehow roped the younger one into this idiocy, as he didn't look like he wanted to be there at all. I remember the meaty crunch the skillet made when it connected with the man's head. In the dream I probably killed the guy, because I was swinging for the fences—he'd been heading for my child.
What the hell, brain? Have I been watching too much nightly news?


Returning Uncle Bob's Remains to the U.S.
Although still inconclusive, this is what we believe occurred regarding Uncle Bob's remains and return to the U.S.
After the war, Uncle Bob's remains were exhumed and taken to Yokohama, Japan for identification. He was initially listed as unknown, but identified through dental records and his physical characteristics.
His remains were then transported to Hawaii for final disposition and transportation to a depot in San Francisco/Oakland. Then to Columbus, Ohio.
Uncle Bob's final resting place is the cemetery at the Sharon Moravian Church, Tuscarawas, Ohio.
We are awaiting further documentation and clarification on this issue.

A Chat with Tom Brady About His Weird Diet and Staying Young
The unconventional secrets of the greatest quarterback of all time are now available in a $200 nutrition book.
By Andrew Goble
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports/NewscomDavid Butler II-USA TODAY Sports/Newscom
Last week, Tom Brady announced the release of the TB12 Nutrition Manual, a $200 natural-wood-bound book featuring "core TB12 nutritional philosophies" and 89 recipes that "support your TB12-aligned nutrition plan." (Talk about branding!) Much of these nuggets appear to be a direct extension of the nutritional and strength philosophies of Brady and his longtime "body coach," Alex Guerrero. (The book is currently only available for pre-order, and sold out at that.)
But let's get this straight: There's a book out there, written by Tom freakin' Brady, that supposedly shares the unconventional secrets of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. For about a million reasons, our interest is piqued. To get to the bottom of it, we met up with Brady at the New York St. Regis on behalf of BeautyRest, the mattress company he's recently signed on with (and filmed a rather thought-provoking commercial for).
GQ: Tell me a little more about the evolution of TB12. Last I heard, it was an athletic-performance center near the Patriots stadium, and then out comes this cookbook.
Tom Brady: It's not a cookbook! [laughs]
It's not a cookbook, I know. I know.
It's a nutrition manual.
So tell me a little bit more about that and how it came around.
Well, the concept started really generically. Five or six years ago, one of the guys I work with helped start TB12. I learned so many different things from him because I was kind of—and still am—an aspiring athlete in a lot of ways. I still want to reach my maximum potential, I still love doing what I do, and I want to do it as well as I can for as long as I can. And I learned a lot of different things over the years that I would say are probably nonconventional or different from the way things have always been done.
I always said to Alex [Guerrero], "Alex, when I get done playing, we have to teach people what we're doing," because so many athletes would love to have the information I've had about how to recover from injuries, how to take care of your body so you don't get injured, the right types of foods to eat, what real hydration really means, what type of exercise you should be doing in the strength-training room so you don't hurt yourself on the field. These are the conversations that he and I always had, things that we talked about. When I was laying on the table getting treated by him, he'd be saying, "Well, don't do this" or "Make sure you're eating this" or "This would be the right supplement to take for that."
Tom Brady Talks to Chuck Klosterman About Deflategate (Sort Of . . .)
By Chuck Klosterman
And so when you acquire this information, and you look around and things are still being done the way they were when I was 18—and I know those things don't work—you feel like such a disservice if you're not teaching your teammates about that. Now I'm going to be 39 years old, and now I'm all about spreading the message, so all my teammates know, "Don't do that exercise. If you do that exercise, you're going to hurt your groin." Or, "If you eat this food, this is not going to be conducive to what your goals are. You better be getting this type of treatment if you're going to do that type of exercise."
It just makes common sense. People come in with plantar fasciitis or shin splints or knee pain that they've had for a long time. I had this friend come in, he's like, "Oh, my God, my knee's been hurting for a year." And I'm like, "Well, just come back! You know the place." And he came back last week, and after two days he's like, "Oh, my God, it's changed my life."
I think I'm living proof of what it's been. I was the kid that was the 199th pick that never had the body for it. People didn't think I'd play one year in the NFL, and now I'm going on my 17th year. So I actually feel like I'm a great case study, and I want to inspire athletes who do want to be their best to have a place to go where they can learn—to me—what the best information is available out there.
[Ed. note: I'm fairly sure Tom hasn't broken eye contact (or taken a breath) at this point, but to his credit I'm enraptured by his enthusiasm.]
Sorry, I know it's long-winded. I get excited about talking about this.
No, no. I think especially for people who start to hit their mid-30s, even if they're not an NFL player, they start to see this kind of slide, and they're just trying to keep up more and more. Is there a part—
Sure. I'd say it starts more in your mid-20s.
26, 27.
And do you see something that "weekend warriors," players on your team who aren't listening to you right now—where do you think they're giving up too quickly? Is it the prehab, is it the nutrition aspect? What do you see most generally that can help them?
The biggest issue is muscle pliability. That's what I think the biggest secret to me is. What is muscle pliability? Muscle pliability is keeping your muscles long and soft. We do so many exercises in the gym through all our strength training that make our muscles short and dense. So now you get up and you're doing all these active things where you're running and cutting, and you're asking these muscles to expand and contract. Well, you basically taught your muscles just to stay contracted.
So through all these different exercises you're doing, now you're running and you have parts of, let's say, your leg muscle that's not fully functioning because you've trained it to be this short, dense muscle that stabilizes and doesn't do its action, doesn't do what you're asking it to do.
There's a lot of components to every muscle function, to every type of exercise that you do. For me, I focus on dropping and throwing. That's what my job is. For a runner, you're going to need to be incredibly biomechanically efficient and balanced in order to run that 5K, and if something is out of balance, you're going to need to get it back in balance. And the only way traditional physical therapy does it, they think that muscle soreness is muscle weakness. So they take muscle soreness and they go, well, it must be weak. Let's do more strengthening. My point is, it's not weak, it's actually working too hard. We need to lengthen it and soften it, so that the other muscles can work, too.
Hard, dense muscles seem like a good thing, but the more you look into the signs your body is giving you, the more you kind of realize—
Yeah, because all your muscle should expand and contract. Expand and contract fully. But through the strength training, you get them to expand and then they contract and then they expand and then they contract, expand and contract. And you get to the point where your muscles are so tight they can no longer do that. So they're not able to do the function, and then when you want them to run and do those things, they're not able to do it. And then your body compensates because your brain says, "Well, I can run that far." And your body says, "You know what, I'm just going to recruit fibers from other areas of my body." Then you get muscle compensation. And then those get overworked and then you get more muscle compensation. And then you get all these different compensating muscles, and then you get joint pain and it's just a downward slope.
So to me, it's about having all of my muscles function at 100%. Getting them all to expand and contract, always getting great muscle function to create that system in your body that can do it for a long period of time.
When you're doing these workouts with other Patriots players, you can tell some are very receptive to this type of thing. Do you ever see other players who give you crap for these unconventional stretches and exercises? What are they having the most trouble jumping onto?
Well, a lot of it [is them thinking], "Look, I'm a pro athlete. I've been doing this for a long time. Don't change my routine now." So I think for some people it might be a little bit fear-based. They feel like if they do change, [they'll think], "I won't be able to achieve the same results, because I know that squatting...I squatted a ton in college. I know that made me better. So now I can never stop squatting."
Every action has a consequence. It may be good for strengthening. And I have no doubt that lifting a lot of weights can get you stronger. I just don't know if lifting stronger weights can keep you healthy, or it can keep you doing your job better, especially for a pro athlete. And I'm not saying that it can't help. It can absolutely help. But there's an expense to that as well. There are other things that you can do to strengthen your body, to condition your body, that can achieve similar results, that don't put certain stresses on your body that don't need to be there.
One last thing on the book. Nutritionally, I feel like there's a lot of recipes in there, like avocado ice cream, that leave people wondering if it's actually good. What's the one that you just want people to try? That they're going to think it's gross but you're saying, "Just try this. You're going to believe in it."
Well, there's just a lot of substitutes for maybe some traditional foods. So there's some pastas. A lot of desserts that, when you look in there you think, "Well, it's not a chocolate sundae." And nothing is going to be like a chocolate sundae at the end of the day, because chocolate sundaes are chocolate sundaes. But are there things that you can eat that you can enjoy that can curb what you're looking for, that can be a lot healthier for you, that can bring down the inflammation in your body so that you're not hurting and you're going out there and doing the things that you wanted to do?
Do you have a favorite?
I mean, I love ice cream, so I think avocado ice cream is pretty good.
I had one last question about sleep. In the last four or five years, how have you changed your sleep habits as you grow older?
Well, sleep is all about recovering. So if you're not sleeping, you're not recovering. And if you're going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up. And the only way to do that is get a lot of sleep. So for me, I go to bed at like 8:30, 9:00. As soon as I put my kids to bed. Because I'm up at 5:30 the next day. So that's the only way for me to get it.

Obama's Crisis of Competence
Posted on July 3, 2013 by mariomurilloministries
The White House seems more comfortable stage-managing the news than dealing with the uncomfortable crises that inevitably crop up.
By Josh Kraushaar
Updated: July 3, 2013 | 8:28 a.m.
July 3, 2013 | 7:01 a.m.

President Obama returned last night from a weeklong trip to Africa, seeking to position himself as part of ailing Nelson Mandela's legacy and generating strategic photo-ops. On the other side of the continent, Egypt is awash in revolution, with hundreds of thousands of protesters in Tahrir Square railing against the American-backed president, with some chanting slogans against the American passivity in the face of crisis. The Washington Post editorialized Tuesday: "For months, as the Morsi government has taken steps to consolidate power, quash critics and marginalize independent civil society groups, President Obama and his top aides have been largely silent in public. No effort was made to use the leverage of U.S. aid to compel a change of policy."
While the president was in Africa, Secretary of State John Kerry spent time in Israel, using valuable political capital trying to jump-start peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians, at a time when few serious foreign policy analysts believe it has any chance of succes—beyond garnering favorable press for trying. (The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg calls Kerry's a "delusion of the foreignpolicy elite" in his column today.) This, while the administration appears utterly feckless in neighboring Syria, where civil war worsens, chemical weapons-wielding dictator Bashar al-Assad strengthens his hold on power, and American influence dwindles. "The military situation in Syria is slipping away as the president ponders," Washington Post columnist Jackson Diehl wrote last week.
And on the domestic front, Obama was comfortably traveling on Air Force One when a Treasury Department functionary announced late Tuesday it would be delaying the mandate that businesses provide health care for their employee—a crucial component in the health care law that is shaping up as the president's main legacy. Rather than give a speech explaining the delay, and informing the public about how this could affect their health care options, the administration dropped the bombshell news right before the July Fourth holiday weekend.
The administration is facing a crisis of competence. At a time when trust in government is already at an all-time low, the events of this past week illustrate the limits of this president's power. The White House seems more comfortable stage-managing the news than dealing with the uncomfortable crises that inevitably crop up. (If there's anything to learn from the Benghazi crisis, it was the administration's attentiveness to detail in how to avoid blame in the aftermath of the crisis but a lack of focus in how to react as the crisis was occurring.)
The other worrying sign, is that politics is getting in the way of smart policymaking. Wary of the last war in the Middle East, Americans don't want the United States to intervene in Syria. The White House, heeding the polls, gladly obliged, even figuring out ways to forestall proof that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people—the red line that the president famously set. Obama doesn't want to say anything to take sides between the Egyptian president he backed and the growing throngs of protesters, and then take ownership in a crisis that's showing no signs of abating. Politically speaking, it's a lose-lose situation.
On health care, with the 2014 midterms approaching and control of the Senate in play, the administration decided to buy time by delaying the employer mandate until after the elections. Former HHS spokesman Nick Papas said the delay was "about minimizing paperwork, not politics." But it's awfully politically convenient to delay implementation of a law that's been growing more unpopular and whose implementation is shaping up to be a "train wreck," in the words of Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, a Democrat.
Obama's second-term legacy is shaping up to be more about avoiding crises than accomplishing big things. Salvage the core of a health care law, avoid worst-case scenarios in Egypt and Syria, and don't get in the way of his party's efforts to win Republican support for a landmark immigration reform plan. It's a far cry from the idealism of his second inaugural. But at this point, the president needs to simply show that he's paying attention to the fires burning around him.

The idea that a job is for life is old industrial age thinking and we can see today that job security is almost nonexistent. The modern technological age will render many employees useless. We've already seen what the combine harvester did to jobs in farming and what automated robots have done to jobs in factories. Heck even in finance, algorithmic trading is replacing human traders. And this is just the beginning. With the ever increasing power of technology, traditional jobs will be scarce and more people will have to rely on their entrepreneurial spirit. Just read this article .The future will belong to the go-getters and those with an entrepreneurial mind.
Have a look below on just how technology will affect every aspect of business and eradicate the need for full-time employees.

I was recently in San Francisco for my cousin's wedding, and I have a couple of outfits to share with you all! This outfit centers around a berry colored lace dress that I paired with leggings and leather riding boots!
The wedding wasn't until the afternoon, so I decided to blog about my morning outfit before I got dolled up for the actual wedding. Berry/wine/burgundy/oxblood/whatever you want to call it is the color of the season, and I am utterly obsessed! I have probably added more of this color to my wardrobe than any other color over the past several months. I love this lace, berry dress not only because of the color and the fact that it's lace, but because the pattern of the lace gives more of a paper-like feel. I believe the lace pattern is laser cut, and I thought it added a unique touch to the average lace dress.
I also enjoyed the buttons on the back of this dress; details really do add the finishing touch! I paired this dress with a brown belt and black leggings. I know some people aren't keen on mixing brown and black, but I do it all the time.
I love when boots have extra buckles or additional detail to them, but at the same time, I prefer them to be simple enough to go with everything. These boots are just that!
I also love the gold detailing of this bag. The MK logo makes a statement without being too "in your face."
For accessories I'm wearing a neutral pearl and bead necklace, bow earrings, the Bow Tie bracelet from Jewelmint, rose gold wrap bracelet, and rose gold Michael Kors watch.
For makeup, I basically wore my foundation and blush and only the base for my eyeshadow because I was prepping for a silver smokey eye to match my dress for the wedding. I did add some berry lips though.
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit!

On a particular day of August 2016, I put up a question post on how to catch the three starter Pokemon in Pokemon Go when it was first launched worldwide. Unexpectedly a guy sent a private message to me on how to catch the three starter Pokemons and our conversation went from formal to informal to personal. It became our daily conversation in FB messenger before our first meetup face to face. Initially I thought it started out great and I thought to myself "Finally, there is actually someone out there for me and we met on unusual coincidence! We have many similarities as well". He tried to flirt out but I didn't want to respond to someone I haven't met personally yet.
On 20th August 2016, we met for the first time and caught some Pokemon together. I was so happy that he reposted my graduation post in facebook but a month later I realised that my post was privatised to my circle of friends only, so his circles won't able to see it even though it was on his wall.
Few months later, our conversation started to grey out. He always said that he has been busy with life. His replies always delayed initially from 1 day, to 3 days gap, to one week gap and up to two weeks gap and to months gap. The way he sounded in the texts has seemed like as if he is no longer interested in me anymore. He did not replied my last messages and only read it two weeks after I sent it. Forward to 21st June 2017, I found out that he just found a girl and went on a trip to Western Malaysia on his facebook. It crushed my hope as I was hoping to ask him out after I got a full-time job as he said during our first date "You can treat me a lunch when you got a job already". I am still trying to brush this fact off my mind and trying to recover from this disappointment of life.
Nevertheless, I tried to regain my self-confidence and shook things off. On the first week of July 2017, my mum was admitted to a private hospital where he is currently working. I thought it might be a good chance to catch up. So I sent a message to meet at my mum's ward and did a normal talk with my mum as well for several hours. Like normal friends do. We gave some homegrown crops to him as a token of appreciation for visiting my mum at late hour after his working time.
It was great to let go the things that wasn't meant for me perhaps. But at some point of life, I thought that I could be the one beside him if I was proactive and responded to his early flirts at the first place. Perhaps I was unemployed for too long that made people doubt on me. Perhaps it was because of my inability to speak Mandarin as first language. Perhaps it was because of our difference in careers. In short, I was too late.
Today, the first week of January 2018, I found his instagram post that it was his 1st anniversary date with his current girlfriend. Everything just made sense! He was still responsive before the end of 2017. In 2017, he slowly did not reply my messages and left it blue tick on when the conversation gets longer. On 7th January 2018, I decided to unfollow him and blocked-then-unblocked him out of my page so that he won't able to see my updates anymore. I bet my presence is insignificant to him as well so might as well I remove myself from his social media contacts except for Facebook. Our first connection was from Facebook. I am still contemplating whether I should unfriend him or not, but I wanted to show him that one day, or some day I can achieve higher and better than his current girlfriend.
In short, I met up a random dude whom I thought he was interested at me initially but then faded out when I wanted to return back the interest and I discovered that he already had someone to ignore me like a trash.
