Big data—including storing and analyzing it—has the reputation for being complex. There is so much data being collected that data science is needed to analyze the information and gain insights. Machines can help to decipher what data we should look at and we have the opportunity to train models based on the information collected. But to take advantage of all that can be gained from it, business leaders must prioritize data science to make its outcomes something that the organization can understand and utilize. Here are four suggestions to make these insights more accessible.
If your big data plan is for everyone to learn a programming or scripting language and boil their data inquiries down to code and formulas, you're in for a rude awakening. Math has a tendency to scare people away, so that's not going to bode well for a successful uptake. Companies have also realized that it's just not possible to staff enough data scientists to make that work.
This type of natural language processing makes accessing large quantities of data easier and more approachable, and it has the side benefit of encouraging interest and curiosity in further analyzing data. As users ask natural questions and receive straightforward answers, they begin to think of more questions, which leads to more answers and more insight. Save the math and SQL-like queries for your developers and put a friendly front end on your data.
You've surely heard the old excuse, "Well, I'm more of a visual person." Some people simply absorb and digest information better if it's presented visually. As it happens, there are many platforms and frameworks on the market that can take a raw data-query result and turn it into a rich graph that answers a user's question.
And the more sophisticated platforms allow you to interact with certain subsections of a visualization, such as having a pie chart explode out in smaller sub-pieces, or layering statistics onto a map of a certain geographic location. Even heat maps and gradients can make statistics pop into life, enhancing your users' understanding of what the data is telling them.
Visualizations can also encourage more questions and further interrogation of the data by creating a rich, inviting atmosphere to discover new ways of thinking about data. Having an accessible platform and the resources and tools to extract insights from real-time data sources can create a data-driven, data-positive environment—not to mention the fact that companies often discover new and innovative ways to use data in the ordinary course of business that are far beyond the initial scope of the project.
Consider finding a group of individuals who are excited about the potential for big data in your business, and invite them to preview your plans, test systems, and provide feedback about what they like or don't like and what they need to augment their roles—all of which can be very valuable.
Often, the best members for this group are in sales and marketing departments. After all, the best campfires start with proper kindling, and a data portal project is no exception to this rule. Beginning with a small but dedicated group of users is a tried-and-true method for getting a successful project off the ground.
Mobility has changed the world around us. Computers that are more powerful than the space shuttle are available in pocket-size form for less than $100. Many professionals—probably most at this point—have smartphones or tablets, many either issued by or paid for by their employer. Users expect to be able to get answers on their mobile devices at any time, wherever they are.
Your big data projects and deployments must be available in a mobile-friendly format, either with responsive web design, customized native apps for the popular mobile device platforms, or perhaps some combination of both. Such a mobile app ought also to satisfy the points already established, including supporting natural language and providing rich visualization support with the capability to touch, drag, pinch, zoom, scroll, and more. The bottom line: In this day and age, you simply must make data accessible on mobile devices.
By implementing these strategies, you'll ensure that data science seems less like a looming specter and more like an understandable and powerful tool that anyone can use. Data accessibility is at your fingertips: it's time to get everyone on board.
If you're ready for what big data can offer your business, find out how to get started with data science and discover its potential with cloud technology.

After a long association with the South Devon Railway, Mike and Gill Comben are having a well earned rest/retirement in Switzerland. As a result of their departure announcement the South Devon Railway Association has decided to recognise their contribution to the Railway, for the hours spent collating all the volunteers' time sheets, the sterling work carried out on the Railway's IT systems, in the booking office and on Santa Specials, by awarding Mike and Gill honorary life membership.
The award was presented by May Webster on Friday 10th May's evening dinning train, where they were guests of the Association. In the above picture along with Mike and Gill is May Webster, Howard Webster and Jon Taylor who were the Loco crew for the evening.


It is STILL raining here! And foggy this morning too. Everything is wet and soggy. But isn't it wonderful, that even in such gloomy weather, Mother Nature's colorful palette still shines through. The view from my window is like a fine piece of art.
The Wild Things are right here on these cute Monster Treat Bags that Cerri made. Won't your little one be cute carrying a treat bag like these that they made themselves? I think they'll have as much fun making the bag as collecting the candy to put inside it on Halloween. Cerri shows us all how to create one of these over on the Joli Paquet blog today. Have fun!
Today I am participating in Natasha Burns, It's All About Me Swap & Party.
"The idea of this is that you create for fun's sake. You will make something for yourself to keep and enjoy. You will do the project that you've been saying that you will do. You'll try out that new thing that you've been wanting to try out. It will be all about you."
I don't know about you, but I am always so busy making things for swaps or friends or to sell in my Etsy Shop that I very rarely have time to make something special for myself. So I thought this would be a great way to make that happen. I'd be able to use some of that vintage lace, pretty millinery flowers, lovely ribbons and dreamy wallpapers that I've been saving for projects that I send out to other's and use them to make a treasure for myself.
Several weeks ago I signed up for Heather's online class called, A Beautiful Life. (I believe she is keeping this class going thru November, so you still have plenty of time to sign up and make one for yourself!) Heather is so very talented, so of course each lesson was more glorious than the next. I know a lot of you out there took the same class and created the most beautiful journals. Well, as usual I had a ton of things on my to-do list and put the project on the back burner. . . until Natasha came up with her It's All About Me idea and I decided to set aside a day to finish my Beautiful Life Journal just for ME!
So here it is. . . .
I signed up for Danielle Muller's Paper Doll Angel Swap and if you're interested, there's still time to sign up here.
It's time to continue the festivities over at Joli Paquet with this adorable Halloween Boo Banner that Cindy made. I love how this project uses items that you probably already have at home. And it's really easy, so you'll be able to whip this up in no time at all!
We went to the cottage for the weekend. I spotted many signs of autumn, like the entrance to this bed and breakfast.
Love the white pumpkins. . . they are my favorite.
The pumpkin display (ala Martha Stewart) in this restaurant fireplace was so clever, warm and inviting. (This photo taken with my cell phone doesn't do it justice.) After the pumpkins were carved, a hole was cut in the bottom to fit over individual candles.
These mums in front of our favorite breakfast spot are already starting to fade.
This street corner is always beautifully decorated for the different seasons.
Did you notice the flock of "crows" in the tree?
As October 31st gets closer and closer, there's lots of Halloween crafting going on. Just look at all these fun projects I found on Flickr - so much inspiration to soak in. And for more Halloween ideas and inspiration, don't forget to check out the Joli Paquet blog.
Have you seen the new look of Southern Living Magazine? It's undergone a make-over to a brand new modern design. I've always loved Southern Living for it's delicious recipes. But today there's a lot more to love about the magazine.
Like the new feature, Done In A Day, pictured above. In this fast-paced world we live in these days I am really appreciative of projects that I can complete one day or even a few hours.
There's lots of ideas for Halloween entertaining, like the recipe for these easy Owl-Ween Treats that the kids will love.
And don't forget to check out the decorating section for the details of this gorgeous gothic inspired Atlanta home. To find out more about the fabulous new redesign of Southern Living Magazine from the editors themselves click here.
Need a new bag to hold all your Halloween treats? Well Ellen from One Ripe Peach has got the directions for making this pretty vintage-style one over at Joli Paquet. It's a far cry from the unimaginative white pillowcase or plastic pumpkin containers that the trick or treaters use around here!
Now I'm off to work on the never-ending studio destash project I started yesterday. I've lots of piles sorted into categories. Now the trick is to find a place to put it all!
Today is the day the Joli Paquet kits go on sale! My Witchy Shadowbox, complete with glass window, is in my Etsy Shop now HERE. Ms. Witchy may look spooky, but don't be scared - she's really easy to put together! So hurry and pop on over before they're all gone!!!
I'm so excited to show you my Joli Paquet kit, which goes on sale tomorrow (10/7) in my Etsy Shop. This fun little kit includes all the supplies needed to create this glass front Halloween shadowbox. Supplies are limited, so be sure to shop early! All the Joli P girls worked hard to bring you lots of fun and bewitching kits. You can check all of them out along their links right here. Happy Haunting!
It's a beautiful Sunday here today. A nice sunny autumn day. My favorite seasons are spring and fall, mostly due to all the colors and the weather of course. I don't like it when it is too hot or too cold.
I've been working on stuff for Joli Paquet. Kit Previews start tomorrow. Kit sales begin on Wednesday. And my tutorial is coming up on Thursday. Lots of fun things are coming your way!

Lots of people avoid these adorable little quail because they think they're either really difficult to cook or too "fancy schmansy." In reality, they're just as easy as chicken, and I find them to be a little more succulent.
Oh, and they also do look kind of fancy on the plate.
Tie the trimmed quail legs together with butchers string or the birds wings and drums will splay during cooking and be all weird and spread eagle on the plate. For each bird, stuff cavity with a handful of thyme, parsley, sage, onion, and garlic. Rub the top of the bird with a little butter, sprinkle with salt & pepper and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes or until the juice runs clear from the thickest part of the thigh.
For the hash, cut potatoes into small cubes and boil until almost (but not quite) tender. Saute the celery, carrots, onions & garlic until tender. Throw all other ingredients into a heavy skillet and cook covered over medium heat until chicken stock is absorbed. Season with salt & pepper.

A Life in Water By Henrik Uth Jensen
in 17th Palm Springs International Film Festival
by Henrik Uth Jensen
The opening images of Minh Nguyen-Vo's Buffalo Boy (Mua Len Trau) has a young girl, Lam, discover some bones and a grinding stone in the muddy field of Vietnam 's Ca Mau. The occasion has come for her grandfather, Kim, to finally tell her about the family's history and his own coming of age.
For generations, life has followed the seasons. In the dry season they are working the rice fields, planting and sowing. During the rainy season, they are buffalo boys en route to places where the water buffalo can grass. It has been like this for generations, and Buffalo Boy describes how this cycle finally comes to an end.
"The water would cover the land. Rotting everything; the grass and the houses, the buffaloes and the men." Kim's voice over is our guide to the story, but the images of the old man and the child breaks down the sense of time. Is it the time of the recounting or the time of the recounted? Is Kim the old man or the child? From its earliest images, Buffalo Boy creates an ambiguity that invites the spectator to pay close attention and note the gaps in this seemingly simple narrative.
The remote Ca Mau region of French-occupied southern Vietnam in 1940 is untouched by modernity, a land where everything that is solid rots in the water. Even family units and bonds. It's soon revealed that the woman who has raised Kim didn't give birth to him. Just as Kim has never known his biological mother, he will become a father to a son, who doesn't know his biological father. These are families by choice, more than blood.
Kim's story begins when the fifteen-year-old Kim (newcomer Le The Lu) puts aside tending to his family's two buffaloes to join Lap and his group of 'buffalo boys,' not knowing the cause of the hostility between Lap and his own father, Dien. But as the voice-over reveals, water is rotting men, and that is part of the reason Dien and his former pupil, Lap, can no longer be friends.
In this respect, Buffalo Boy is the story about Kim's first encounter with the pleasures and dangers of the outside world – alcohol, weed, love; and the revelation of the dark, shameful moments in the family's history. In its juxtaposition of the daily routine of buffalo herding (leading the buffalos through the muddy water, collecting floating grass for the herd, paying off corrupt officials, and setting camp), with events like fighting bandits and rival gangs, the film has the scope of an epic western. It contains violence, but in no way focuses on the violence. The real subject is the relationship between the men, the men and the landscape – or, more accurately, the waterscape.
In the cyclical lifestyle of the buffalo boy, Kim has to deal with both the family's past and his own future. After his first trip, he returns to his parents only to quarrel with his father about whether they should sell the buffaloes or continue as before. Kim reacts by abandoning his parents, with the result that he's on his own.
Kim befriends fellow buffalo boy Det and they become competitors to Lap's band of herders. When work allows it, the two young men stay near Ban, the young mother of Det's child, Thieu. And as Det has not revealed himself as father to his five year old son, Kim gradually takes over the role and responsibility of a father. Neither Kim, Det or Ban mention Kim's obvious infatuation with Ban – in a silent scene his advances, first tender, then violent, are rejected. Their triangle is not solid, and it's broken in a way truer to life and the characters than to the conventions of storytelling.
The family problem remains unresolved, and when Kim finally meets his father again, Dinh is dying. In a boat in the middle of the flooded fields, the father reveals his shameful secret to his son just before he dies.
Director Minh follows this with a spectacular scene, as Kim finds himself with his dead father at a house on sticks in the midst of a flooded landscape. With no solid burial ground, the best way to handle the body is to wrap it and weigh it down so it sinks, safe from attacks by crows. The elderly couple who lives in the house offers their mill to weigh down the body down, yet the husband is reluctant, since the mill, consisting of a base stone and mill stone, is probably their most valuable possession. When they finally give up the mill stone, the woman offers the whole mill: "What use is the base without the mill?" If Kim or the old man knows the answer, they can't bring themselves to say it out loud. The water is not only an obstacle; it has become the container of dead.
By convention, water signifies life, but Buffalo Boy demonstrates the arbitrariness of this convention by emphasizing the water's association with death – flood, starvation, burial ground. "There are dead things in the water," Kim later explains to the young boy Thieu, "Trees, plants. buffaloes. and men." In that way, Buffalo Boy reveals the connection between life and death, between permanence and transition.
Water is everywhere in Buffalo Boy, and it also determines the film's look and style. The scenery as shot by cinematographer Yves Cape (whose other work includes Bruno Dumont's L'Humanité and the upcoming Flandres ) is almost monochrome. The water has drained the landscape of any colour. The grass is the palest green, the grey sky is heavy with rain. The water itself is murky. The people are clothed as to not disturb this palette.
If water is the dominant visual motif, the bamboo flute is the sonic equivalent. The recurring musical motif on the soundtrack is an old Khmer tune, which Kim has learned from his father and which he passes on to Thieu. As played on the bamboo flute, the tune sounds at times full of longing, and at other times is rich with joy. In the scene where Kim tries to woo Ban, though, the flute becomes soundless, the melody whispered, as if Kim wants to express the sadness, the longing and the promise of joy that he can't put into words. Just like the water, the melody can take on any form and meaning. Ton That Tiet's non-intrusive score is sparse, composed more with tonal suggestions than actual melodies.
Buffalo Boy is the feature debut by California-born director Minh, who also wrote the screenplay inspired by Son Nam 's collection of short stories, Scent of the Ca Mau Forest . And the film certainly has the qualities of both collection and recollection. Its episodes and situations accumulate to more than just a narrative. These are the moments worth remembering – or hardest to forget – for Kim, and the spectator.
At the Palm Springs International Film Festival's section for films competing for the Academy nomination as Best Foreign Film, there were many excellent entries, but this accomplished first feature was the one most worth remembering.

New Western Digital My Cloud Bugs Give Local Attackers Root on NAS DevicesNext article
Oracle MICROS POS Vulnerability Puts 300,000 Systems at Risk
Author: Christopher Kanaracus
Oracle has issued a fix, but many Micros systems could still be vulnerable.
Point-of-sale systems are rich targets for attackers, given their status as a gateway to credit card information, customer and back-office data and other goodies. A recently patched vulnerability in Oracle's MICROS POS system software can lead to attackers gaining full access to the systems, say researchers.
The vulnerability (CVE-2018-2636) has a CVSS v3.0 base score of 8.1. Specifically, it targets the Simphony POS software suite, which provides both back-office and customer-facing applications that run on fixed and mobile devices. It is widely used in the restaurant and hotel industries. Affected versions include 2.7, 2.8 and the most recent version 2.9, released in October 2016.
ERPScan initially discovered the vulnerability, which received a fix in Oracle's January Critical Patch Update.
The vulnerability is "difficult to exploit" but allows an attacker to compromise the applications over HTTP without the need for authentication, Oracle said in documentation for the recent patch update. Successful attacks "can result in takeover" of a Simphony system, it added.
In a blog post, ERPScan provided more detail, saying that an attacker could take advantage of a directory traversal vulnerability in MICROS EGateway Application Service.
"In case an insider has access to the vulnerable URL, he or she can pilfer numerous files from the MICROS workstation including services logs and read files like SimphonyInstall.xml or Dbconfix.xml that contain usernames and encrypted passwords to connect to DB, get information about ServiceHost, etc.," the company said. "So, the attacker can snatch DB usernames and password hashes, brute them and gain full access to the DB with all business data."
Using a Shodan search, ERPScan found 170 Micros POS systems exposed on the internet. That's a tiny fraction of the total MICROS system landscape, as the systems are deployed at more than 330,000 sites worldwide.
But hackers could also make an in-store visit, find a public device–such as a digital scale for weighing produce or other goods–that uses an RJ45 ethernet jack to connect to the store's network, plug it into a Raspberry Pi and scan the internal network that way, ERPscan said. "That is where they [can] easily discover a POS system," the researchers wrote. "Remember this fact when you pop into a store."
There's no word on whether any MICROS systems have been breached by the recently patched vulnerability, but it is likely still present in many of them. ERPScan has released a script on Github that MICROS sysadmins can use to check if their environments are vulnerable.
An Oracle spokesperson declined to comment on ERPScan's findings.
Should a successful breach occur, it will not be the first time for MICROS . In August 2016, Oracle reported that it had discovered malicious code on "some legacy MICROS systems" and told all customers to reset their passwords.
The attackers managed to place malware on a MICROS support server, which was then able to snatch customers usernames and passwords, Krebs on Security reported at the time. They were apparently associated with the Carbanak gang, which is part of a Russia-based cybercrime group suspected of stealing $1 billion from banks.
More recently, fashion retailer Forever 21 confirmed that hackers had managed to install malware on a number of its POS terminals, allowing them to steal customer credit card data. The malware was present on some of Forever 21's systems for nearly eight months during 2017, the company said.
POS attacks may mount further going forward, simply because a fast-growing attack surface will give cybercriminals more opportunities to exploit systems.
For example, the retail and hospitality world is increasingly rolling self-service kiosks in response to customer expectations as well as the bottom line. McDonald's began installing self-service ordering at all 14,000 U.S. locations beginning in 2016, and the move has been credited with helping it shore up previously flagging sales.
"Point-of-sale terminals are elements that an average person deals with regularly in everyday life," ERPScan said. "It makes this sphere especially important and encourages paying extra attention and taking necessary security measures."

An examination of the malware gang's payments reveals insights into its economic operations.

Network segmentation is a must in these types of environments. You have to keep your POS data separate from other network devices.

South Gloucestershire Council
Friday 20th March 2020 TH (Reporter)
Council issues guidance for 'coronavirus' community support groups
South Gloucestershire Council has issued a range of information and guidance materials to support the increasing number of informal and formal community groups that are springing up in neighbourhoods across the district to help those having to self-isolate.
The Community Aid South Glos pack has been distributed via town and parish councils, who play a key role at the heart of their communities and are already helping to coordinate local responses.
The council says it is also seeing groups as small as residents in the same street starting a WhatsApp group so that neighbours can share offers of help and requests for assistance with shopping or picking up prescriptions for those who are required to self-isolate during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The pack is introduced with a note of thanks from council leader, Cllr Toby Savage and chief executive, Dave Perry, and sets out the authority's intention to support these community focused efforts by providing information and guidance as well as helping promoting the groups so that volunteers and those in need know who to contact in their area.
The pack includes template documents that groups may find helpful in logging the offers of help and understanding the skills on offer from the public, meaning that the right help can be directed to the people who need it. There are a series of links to trusted sources of accurate and up-to-date information in a fast-changing situation, helping them to avoid misleading and unhelpful rumours causing undue worry, or even harm.
The pack is also available online here: www.southglos.gov.uk/communityaid
The council says it wants to support connecting the individuals who would like to help those in need, by promoting the groups and arrangements being put in place. It also asks residents to let them know about groups already set or in the process of being established, so that it can provide a directory of the help available.
Please email CommunityAid@southglos.gov.uk with details of groups including:
Name of group
The area the group operates in
Contact details, including the main contact person for the group (if known)
How to contact the group if you want to volunteer
How to contact the group if you need help.
While these street-level groups are taking care of their neighbours, the council says that it is working closely with a range of groups and existing service providers to ensure more specialist services can still be delivered, by deploying trained and qualified staff to the individuals and communities where they are most needed.
A council spokesperson said:
"While COVID-19 is expected to affect huge numbers of people in the coming weeks and months, we are working to ensure that statutory services continue to be delivered as much as possible, even if we need to find new ways to do that in light of public health advice on social distancing and where significant numbers of staff may be forced to self-isolate."
Leader of South Gloucestershire Council, Cllr Toby Savage, said:
"This outbreak is absolutely unprecedented and will impact in some way on almost all aspects of almost all of our lives. It is vital that we follow the expert advice, but as restrictive as that may sometimes feel, I am so delighted to see our communities responding with displays of open-hearted generosity to each other. Self-isolation can have a greater impact for those who already feel lonely, which is why it is so heart-warming to see communities rallying round during the outbreak to ensure that no one is forgotten.
"I want to express my thanks to everyone for the way they are facing this challenge already and for the efforts that we know will have to come in the future.
"As a council, we have strong resilience and business continuity plans in place, which we are working through tirelessly to ensure we adapt our services to the situation and respond to the advice that comes from central government and public health officials. Our own public health teams are at the heart of that, but right across the authority, our teams in the education department are supporting all South Gloucestershire schools; while those in the rest of the Children, Adults and Health Department are working to ensure that we can continue to deliver the help our most vulnerable residents need, now more than ever.
"This is a changing picture and we are likely to have to find new ways to deliver some services as we all adapt to the restrictions in place. Already we have seen the decision taken to close schools and libraries and there will be other services that we simply cannot sustain at times when we need to focus our efforts on protecting those in the greatest need.
"We have set up a section on our website so that residents can see what services are affected and how and we will keep the information on our COVID-19 response web pages updated as the quickest and easiest way of getting the messages out there in a fast-changing environment.
"To those who are working so hard in and outside of the council to keep us all fed, the lights on and the vulnerable cared for, we thank you. For those who need to self-isolate for a time, my pledge to you is that we are there with you, as are your neighbours. And for those who are responding with such kindness in these difficult times, we will be forever grateful."

Name of the facility, web page, ownership and contact person
Research and Education Mine "Reiche Zeche" http://tu-freiberg.de/lfbw
Freistaat Sachen, University of Technology Bergakademie Freiberg
Contact Person: Professor Dr. Helmut Mischo
Geographical location, size and depth of the facility
50° 92' 85.8" North / 13° 35' 73.3" East
FLB "Reiche Zeche" is located on the edge of the Erzgebirge in the municipality of Freiberg. Freiberg is situated in the centre of Saxony between Dresden and Chemnitz, and close to the Czech border with around 40km to each side. The expansion of Reiche Zeche mine includes drifts of 129km, of which are 19km safely accessible and frequently in use. The mine is accessible up to a level of 230m, the water level of Rothschönberger Stolln. The level of up to 750m is flooded. The access to the mine is realised by two shafts.
Major rock type(s)
Freiberg deposit is a lead-zinc deposit. In carboniferous to permian and late jurassic to tertiary periods ore veins have been created within the already existing gneiss in connection with the variscan and alpine orogeny.
The main minerals to be found are Galena, Sphalerite, Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, Arsenopyrite and Quartz.
The original purpose, current use and future plans
The mine "Himmelfahrt Fundgrube" was founded as a consortium of multiple individual shafts in 1839 to enhance the production of silver in Freiberg. It was first closed in 1913 and handed over to Bergakademie Freiberg in 1919 for teaching purposes. In 1937 the mine was reactivated and once again in operation until 1969. Finally, in 1976 the shafts "Reiche Zeche" and "Alte Elisabeth" were handed over back to the University for research and teaching purposes. Today multiple research institutions and partners from industry use the mine as a fundament for the development of new technology, production methods, new materials or to gain reference materials for their databases. In addition, multiple Universities make use of the mine in order to train their students practically in mining and surveying operations. It is intended to develop the mine to a European platform for enhancing mining techniques and education. For this, it is planned to create new access (ramp) and to develop new fields, rooms and drifts.
Freiberg can be reached from
Dresden Airport within 45 minutes by car (50 km) or 1 hour by train via Dresden Central Station
Prague Airport (Czech Republic) within 2 hours by car (140 km) or 4 hours by train via Dresden Central Station
Overall data availability
The data of research activities are collected, processed and stored by the performing partners individually. It is possible to provide contact information to these partners. Some general data on the mine are available as textbook or paper.
Specialised knowledge, services
Specialised knowledge, laboratories and workshops are available in all mining and raw material related fields at the individual departments of the university. The mine management is capable of establishing underground laboratories, workshops and office spaces for long-term projects.

Is getting sexual freedom the only way for women to be free, questions Nandita Das
Updated Jun 21, 2018 | 17:28 IST | IANS
Nandita Das, whose "Manto" was the only Indian film in Un Certain Regard category at 71st Cannes Film Festival this year, joined Hollywood stars Kristen Stewart and Jane Fonda among many others in a protest against gender gap at the film fest.
New Delhi: Is getting sexual freedom the only way for women to be free, asks acclaimed actress and filmmaker Nandita Das as she wonders why most women-centric films only touch upon the issue of female sexuality. She says such projects undermine "many struggles that women go through and further panders to the male gaze" in an industry, where she feels murmurs about the #MeToo and Time's Up movements have been "too low".
From narrating the trauma of a gang-raped victim in "Bawandar" or highlighting homosexual relations though a lesbian relationship in "Fire" or initiating a campaign to embrace dark skin -- Nandita has always tried to give voice to women who are fighting for equal rights and acceptance, with her projects. And she hopes to continue with it.
"When a project is submitted, the question is still asked -- who is the hero? This will take some time to change. An A-list actress will never have an A-list actor playing opposite her if she's playing the lead. While the opposite happens all the time," Nandita told IANS in an e-mail interview.
"Female actors are still stereotyped in their portrayal as being constantly good-looking (read sexy, if they are young, which they invariably need be) and their career is still much shorter than the male stars, who at 50 can play college boys. Having said that, definitely more and more women are now behind the camera so there is a little more representation and diversity. But still far from being enough," she added.
The actress asserted that "stories exploring women's issues are increasing, though every second film is focusing on sexual freedom by showing their sexy bodies and speaking profanity, as if this was the only way to be free".
"It is undermining many struggles that women go through and further panders to the male gaze," she said, taking a sly dig at Kareena Kapoor Khan's "Veere Di Wedding" -- a project which garnered mixed response to the narrative of how women openly talk about their sex lives and hurl abuses.
Nandita, whose "Manto" was the only Indian film in Un Certain Regard category at 71st Cannes Film Festival this year, joined Hollywood stars Kristen Stewart and Jane Fonda among many others in a protest against gender gap at the film fest.
The "Firaaq" maker says she was "delighted to be part of that five per cent who have had that honour to walk the red carpet, marching along 81 other women".
But she is disappointed that movements like #MeToo and Time's Up didn't gain mileage in India, as compared to the West.
Such movements pitching for women empowerment has seeped into the West, taking in account how people in powerful positions exploited people entering the industry, resulting in exposure of many, including Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.
Expressing her opinion on the initiatives, Nandita said: "Some of us hoped the #MeToo and Time's Up movements would hit Indian shores harder, exposing the open secrets of Bollywood and of every other profession where men have misused their power to harass and assault women.
"Unfortunately, the murmurs have been too low. The few women who did speak were predictably ostracised. Often abuse was given the colour of being consensual, silencing the ripples, even before they could become a wave."
She is not giving up on hope.
"Despite the low murmurs, I hope that we will find a way to be heard. Voices will emerge that will open doors for many more. After all, even in the West, rampant abuse has stayed under the surface for decades, some of the most powerful women had chosen to remain silent. It took a few brave ones to break it.
"The onus needn't only be on the women to speak up, joining the #MeToo campaign. Our dream for an equal world must be seen collectively, a call to action because the Time's Up," added the actress.
At the moment, she is looking forward to the release of "Manto", in which she has traced the life of writer Saadat Hasan Manto. Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be seen bringing the character to life.
"Manto", co-produced by HP Studios, Filmstoc and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, is expected to release in India in September.

Decision: Shure E2c, Ety 6 or Shure E3c?
My Shure E2c earbuds are dead. Is there a moderately priced current model that has a similarly flat and transparent frequency response? I need an isolating earbud, to block exterior noise. Preferably one with a selection of replaceable earpieces. Travelling on planes a lot, this is much needed.
I bought a pair of E2c about 18 months ago and have been pretty happy with them. However, no matter which of the supplied earplugs I use, they gradually back out of my ears and lose the seal. Most of my earplug listening is on airliners, so I lose the sound isolation and the ability to play at relatively low volume. The only earplugs that work are the foam ones, and they get pretty gungy pretty quick. Anyone have any experience with custom made plugs (I assume from a hearing aid specialist)?
I've noticed that the Shure E2C's available on eBay have gone up from 49.99 to 54.99 and with ??5 postage! Is tere anywhere that sells them for 49.99 (or less....) in the UK? Or anywhere around that price not on eBay? Thanks!
etys er6i or shure e2c for ipod mini? which sounds better?
Dell is selling the E2c for $50 and E3c for $90 . Must be student/faculty/staff with a participating school.
To anyone that has used both before: Is the ER-6 really worth the extra so and so bucks over the e2c?

Q: AngularJS: dependent asynchronous requests New to AngularJS, wondering What would be the correct way to handle three asynchronous requests where the parameters of the third are defined by the responses of the previous two.
two addresses are passed to this function
$scope.getRoutes = function(origin, destination) {

//1.A request is made to get the coordinates of the first address
dataFactory.geocode(origin)
.success(function(data) {
  $scope.originObj = data;
})
.error(function () {
});

//2.Same for the second address
dataFactory.geocode(destination)
.success(function(data) {
  $scope.destinationObj = data;
})
.error(function () {
});

//3.Finally a request for transport routes between the two sets of coordinates
dataFactory.getRoutes($scope.originObj.coordinates, $scope.destinationObj.coordinates)
.success(function(data) {
  $scope.routes = data;
})
.error(function () {
});
};

This gives me the error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'coordinates' of undefined
Nesting the requests in the success functions functions, but is there a better way to have the last request wait around for the other two?

A: What you're looking for is the ability to chain promises. "Once you receive the data from this one, call this one" is the general format. Angular takes advantage of the $q library. You can find documentation here.

Middleton St. George Neighbourhood Plan
Preparation of the Neighbourhood Plan was undertaken by the parish council.
This began in spring 2019.
The parish council invited residents and stakeholders to give their opinions on the plan.
From this the parish council created the Submission Draft Neighbourhood Plan.
This was submitted to the Council on 13 April 2021.
The Council carried out a consultation on the submitted plan from 29 September to 11 November 2021.
Independent Examination
The examiner assessed if the plan met the basic conditions and legislation.
Undertaken by Rosemary Kidd (MRTPI).
Examiner's report May 2022
The report suggested changes but said that the plan could proceed to a referendum.
Middleton St George NDP examiner's report [pdf document]
The modifications made sure that the plan meets the basic conditions.
These are set out in the relevant legislation.
The council considered the examiner's report and decided that it accepts the recommendations.
Decision statement by the Council
Local planning authority's decision statement [pdf document]
Took place on Thursday 11 August 2022 and the Neighbourhood Plan received a majority vote in favour.
Decision statement by the Council to 'make' (adopt) the Neighbourhood Plan [pdf document]
You can view the Neighbourhood Plan here [pdf document]
A paper copy of the Neighbourhood Plan and Decision Statement can be viewed at the Town Hall, Feethams, Darlington, DL1 5QT by prior appointment only. Please contact the planning policy team at [email protected] or on 01325 406724 if you wish to book an appointment.
Through the Localism Act 2011 [external link], the Government has introduced new rights and powers to allow local communities to come together to prepare Neighbourhood Plans.
Neighbourhood Plans are one way communities can help to shape the future of the places where they live and work.
Communities will be able to:
Choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built
Have their say on what those new buildings should look like
Grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead
Information and guidance can be viewed at the following websites:
An introduction to neighbourhood planning [external link]
Planning Portal [external link]
Planning Aid [external link]
1. Defining the neighbourhood
Local people will need to decide how they want to work together. Neighbourhood Plans can be taken forward by two types of body; Town and Parish Councils or 'Neighbourhood Forums'.
Neighbourhood Forums are community groups that are designed to take forward Neighbourhood Planning in areas without Parishes.
The first step is to contact the Local Planning Authority which can provide technical advice, support and guidance as neighbourhoods discuss their proposals.
2. Preparing the plan
Next, local people will need to begin collecting their ideas together and drawing up their plans. With a Neighbourhood Plan, communities will be able to establish general planning policies for the development and use of land in a neighbourhood.
With a Neighbourhood Development Order [pdf document] or Community Right to Build Order [external link] the community can grant planning permission for new buildings they want to see go ahead.
Communities can choose to draw up either a plan, or a Development Order, or both and should work with the Local Planning Authority to seek advice and guidance on this and to ensure that proposals meet a number of conditions.
Both Plans and Development Orders must conform with local planning policy framework set out in the Local Plan for the area and with National Planning Policy and as such cannot be used to reduce the amount or type of development currently planned for. Neighbourhood Planning may, however, influence the type, design, location and mix of new development.
3. Independent check
The Local Planning Authority will appoint an independent examiner to assess whether the Neighbourhood Plan or Development Order satisfies the ground rules and conditions. This may trigger the need for further work and consultation with the community.
4. Community referendum
The local council will organise a referendum once the Neighbourhood Plan or Order meets the basic conditions. People living in the neighbourhood who are registered to vote in local elections will be entitled to vote in the referendum.
The Neighbourhood Plan or Order must receive support of more than 50% of voters in order for the Council to bring it into force.
5. Legal force
Once the Neighbourhood Plan or Order is formally adopted by the Council, it becomes part of the statutory planning framework for the area.
The Council's role
It is the Local Planning Authority's role to keep an overview of all the difference requests to do neighbourhood planning in their area.
They will check suggested boundaries for different neighbourhoods and check community groups meet the right standards when creating neighbourhood forums. The Local Planning Authority will be obliged by law to help people draw up their neighbourhood plans.
If you want to find out more about some of the things that the Council has to consider in dealing with neighbourhood planning, please visit the Planning Advisory Service website [external link].

Low Coniscliffe and Merrybent Designation Delegated Decision and Neighbourhood Plan Statement [pdf document]
The parish council established a steering group to lead the plan preparation process.
Early engagement in 2017 informed the preparation of a Pre-Submission Draft Plan which was subject of consultation (Reg 14) from 21st April to 2nd June 2018.
The views and comments received by the group were utilised to prepare the Submission Draft Neighbourhood Plan which was submitted to the Council on the 26th September 2018.
The plan proposed a number of policies on the environment, open space, heritage, housing, infrastructure, connectivity and transport, amongst others.
Regulation 16 Consultation
In accordance with Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Darlington Borough Council invited comments from organisations and individuals on the submitted Neighbourhood Plan.
The consultation ran from 20 November 2018 to 7 January 2019.
The council collated all of the representations and passed them to an independent examiner appointed by the council in agreement with the parish council.
The Examiner's Report was received in March 2019 and recommended that, subject to a number of proposed modifications, the Plan should proceed to referendum.
The modifications were required to ensure that the Plan met the basic conditions set out in the legislation.
It was also recommended that the referendum area should match that of the Neighbourhood Area.
Having considered the examiner's report, the Council accepted the recommendations and was satisfied that the plan could proceed to referendum.
The Examiner's Report and the Council's Decision Statement can be viewed below.
Low Coniscliffe and Merrybent parish NDP Examiner's Report [pdf document]
Local Planning Authority's Decision Statement [pdf document]
The referendum took place on the 23rd May 2019 and there was a majority vote in favour of the Neighbourhood Plan.
As such the local authority had a duty to 'make' (adopt) the Neighbourhood Plan to form part of the Development Plan for Darlington.
Decisions on planning applications must now be made in accordance with policies in the Low Coniscliffe and Merrybent Neighbourhood Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.
The Neighbourhood Plan and Council's Decision Statement to make the plan can be viewed below.
Low Coniscliffe and Merrybent parish Neighbourhood Development Plan [pdf document]
Decision Statement [pdf document]
In line with Regulation 19 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, the Council formally 'made' (adopted) the Low Coniscliffe and Merrybent Neighbourhood Plan on 10th June 2019.
Middleton St George neighbourhood area
On 1 July 2014 Middleton St George parish council (in association with Low Dinsdale parish council) was formally designated as a Neighbourhood Area, for the purpose of preparing a Neighbourhood Development Plan.
The relevant Cabinet report and a map outlining the designated area can be viewed in the links below:
Item 10 Middleton St George - Neighbourhood Area Designation [pdf document]
Item 10 Middleton St George - Neighbourhood Area Designation - Appendix 2 [pdf document]
In January 2019, Middleton St George parish council applied to Darlington Borough Council for a new Neighbourhood Area to reflect the changes in the parish boundary and to pursue the preparation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan. The boundary changes came about via a Community Governance Review in 2016. The parish council proposed a Neighbourhood Area of the new parish area and excluded land at Durham Tees Valley Airport. Even though the land at the airport fells within the parish boundary it was considered inappropriate for Durham Tees Valley Airport to be included in the Neighbourhood Area due to its strategic importance.
In accordance with Regulation 6 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Darlington Borough Council invited comments from organisations and individuals on the proposed Neighbourhood Area. The consultation period took place from 13th February 2019 to 29th March 2019. The Council considered the responses received and if the area applied for was appropriate for the purpose of neighbourhood planning. It was considered that the Neighbourhood Area should be designated.
The relevant delegated report including a map of the area can be viewed here [pdf document]
Sadberge Parish neighbourhood area
On 15 May 2013, Sadberge parish council Neighbourhood Area was formally designated as a Neighbourhood Area.

In the short nine months since the Office of Management and Budget mandated agencies to move to an electronic invoicing system by 2018, agencies are flocking to the Treasury Department.
A majority of the cabinet-level agencies plan on moving or have moved to the Bureau of Fiscal Service's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).
John Hill, the Bureau of Fiscal Service's assistant commissioner for payments and chief disbursing officer, said 13 of 24 CFO Act agencies recently have signed a memorandum of agreement with the Fiscal Service to implement IPP, increasing the total to 16 departments using the shared service.
The decision by these 13 agencies comes as OMB issued a memo in July requiring agencies to move to a standard platform to electronically process vendor invoices.
While OMB didn't specifically call out IPP as the one standard system, agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency, the departments of State and Health and Human Services and the U.S. Agency for International Development are joining the more than 80 other small agencies in using Treasury's shared service, which has been an option since 2008. State, EPA, USAID and HHS will join several other large agencies that have been using IPP for several years, including the Agriculture Department, the Small Business Administration, the Social Security Administration and the Government Publishing Office.

Hill said several others are evaluating IPP, and he expects several of them to use the service in the coming years.
The Defense and the Veterans Affairs departments have their own e-invoicing platforms that are potential options for other agencies to use.
At the same time, the Fiscal Service also reached another milestone in late March, surpassing 100,000 government contractors getting paid through platform. This is up from 80,000 at the end of 2015.
Hill said vendors also must sign an agreement with the Fiscal Service. Then the contractor will receive a password and can begin submitting invoices.
Hill said he estimates that about two-thirds of all vendors now are using IPP. He said that's based on the fact that when the Fiscal Service brings on a new agency, it finds at least 60 percent of that agency's contractors already are enrolled in IPP.
The Fiscal Service has been preparing to take on tens of thousands of new vendors and dozens of agencies for some time.
The Fiscal Service also works with agencies on IPP implementation and workforce training to ensure a smooth transition.
Hill said the benefits of IPP for agencies and vendors alike are clear. He said agencies are reducing the cost and time to process invoices. That means agencies are avoiding late payment penalties. Contractors are getting paid faster and spending less time tracking down late or missing invoices.


Background. By 2025, it is estimated that approximately 1.8 million Australian adults (approximately 8.4% of the adult population) will have diabetes, with the majority having type 2 diabetes. Weight management via improved physical activity and diet is the cornerstone of type 2 diabetes management. However, the majority of weight loss trials in diabetes have evaluated short-term, intensive clinic-based interventions that, while producing short-term outcomes, have failed to address issues of maintenance and broad population reach. Telephone-delivered interventions have the potential to address these gaps. Methods/Design. Using a two-arm randomised controlled design, this study will evaluate an 18-month, telephone-delivered, behavioural weight loss intervention focussing on physical activity, diet and behavioural therapy, versus usual care, with follow-up at 24 months. Three-hundred adult participants, aged 20-75 years, with type 2 diabetes, will be recruited from 10 general practices via electronic medical records search. The Social-Cognitive Theory driven intervention involves a six-month intensive phase (4 weekly calls and 11 fortnightly calls) and a 12-month maintenance phase (one call per month). Primary outcomes, assessed at 6, 18 and 24 months, are: weight loss, physical activity, and glycaemic control (HbA1c), with weight loss and physical activity also measured at 12 months. Incremental cost-effectiveness will also be examined. Study recruitment began in February 2009, with final data collection expected by February 2013. Discussion. This is the first study to evaluate the telephone as the primary method of delivering a behavioural weight loss intervention in type 2 diabetes. The evaluation of maintenance outcomes (6 months following the end of intervention), the use of accelerometers to objectively measure physical activity, and the inclusion of a cost-effectiveness analysis will advance the science of broad reach approaches to weight control and health behaviour change, and will build the evidence base needed to advocate for the translation of this work into population health practice. © 2010 Eakin et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Tears and anguish as 150 die in Pakistan after fallen oil tanker explodes while residents scoop fuel
by Kunlere Idowu June 28, 2017 0 comment
When a tanker truck overturned on a road in eastern Pakistan on Sunday, hundreds of people rushed toward the vehicle to collect the spilled and leaking fuel.
Using buckets, bottles and cans, they scooped up some of the 5,500 gallons of fuel that was gushing onto the road. For about an hour, men, women and children from nearby villages, as well as some passers-by who pulled over in their cars and motorbikes, collected the windfall, despite attempts by the police to warn them away from the scene. Then, suddenly, the truck caught fire and exploded, killing at least 150 people and seriously injuring at least 100 others.
At least 73 motorbikes and several cars were destroyed in the blast, which occurred the day before Pakistan celebrates Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday at the end of Ramadan. "It is a horrible tragedy," said Makhdoom Syed Hassan Gillani, the parliamentary representative of Ahmedpur East, the small city in Punjab Province where the disaster occurred. "You can blame poverty 100 percent," he added with a heavy voice. "It was poverty. It was greed. It was ignorance."
Fuel is a high-value commodity in Pakistan, so even for those aware of the risks, the prospect of obtaining it free was too powerful a lure to ignore. Ahmedpur East has long suffered from poverty, illiteracy and a lack of modern facilities, and local residents have blamed the provincial government for spending money on urban areas at the expense of rural regions.

"People brought bottles, pots, buckets and other home utensils," Mr. Gillani said. "Many people made several rounds and urged others to do the same." He said people had planned to use the fuel for themselves and also to sell. The devastation swept through several poor settlements near the crash site. "In one house, all eight men of the family died due to the fire," Mr. Gillani said. He denied reports that news of the spill had been broadcast over the loudspeaker of a local mosque, prompting many to go to the scene.
The authorities were investigating what had caused the driver to lose control, leading the tanker to overturn and creating the conditions for the inferno. One official suggested that a spark from a passing vehicle had probably caused the blast, but news reports quoted witnesses blaming a lit cigarette tossed by a passer-by.
The tanker had been traveling from the southern port city of Karachi to Lahore, the province's capital. It was believed to be carrying 5,500 gallons of gas and high-octane fuel, officials and the state-run news media reported. Muhammad Rizwan, a police official, said the police had "kept on telling people to leave the crash site, but people wouldn't listen and more kept coming." "We knew it was dangerous," he said, "and if there were more cars and bikes, the casualties would have been much higher."
The injured were taken to the district hospital and Victoria Hospital in neighboring Bahawalpur, but the response was hindered by a shortage of facilities to treat burn victims. The seriously injured were ferried to a hospital in Multan, about 80 miles to the north, which has a burn treatment unit. The Pakistan Army said it had sent two helicopters to help with the rescue efforts. Abdul Rashid, 30, one of those injured, said he and a friend had joined in collecting the spilled fuel after passing by the area and seeing others trying to scoop it up from the overturned tanker.

"I parked my bike by the road and waited while my friend went to collect the fuel," said Mr. Rashid, who had burns on one hand and a leg. "We did not have any bottles, so we asked people and got one. The bottle was small, so my friend went thrice to collect the fuel." He said he did know what had happened to his friend after the fire broke out. Mr. Gillani said that even though the word danger was clearly written at the rear of such tanker, people did not take heed. "Many were not even aware of the risk they were putting themselves into," he said. There was no immediate information about what had caused the tanker to overturn: speeding at a sharp turn, a burst tire or something else. Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, the chief minister of Punjab, expressed his grief over the loss of life, said an aide, Salman Sufi.
"The chief minister is monitoring the situation and has directed the authorities to provide the best medical facilities to the injured," Mr. Sufi said. He said the fire had probably been started by an engine spark that caused the fuel tanker to explode, though he noted that the exact cause was being investigated. Mr. Sufi said the driver of the tanker had avoided serious injury because the crash had taken place "long before" the explosion, and a provincial government spokesman said the driver had been taken into custody, Reuters reported.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who was in London on a private visit, cut short his stay and was returning to Pakistan, officials said. Imran Khan, the country's most prominent opposition politician, called the accident "a national tragedy of epic proportions." Many of the dead were burned beyond recognition, said Dr. Mohammad Baqar, a senior rescue official in the area. They will have to be identified through DNA. Abdul Malik, a local police officer who was among the first to arrive, said he had "never seen anything like it in my life," The Associated Press reported. "Victims trapped in the fireball. They were screaming for help." When the fire subsided, he said, "We saw bodies everywhere, so many were just skeletons."

Atlanta's tiLLie finds hope in darkness for Vans Share The Stage: Watch
"Music has always been and will always be my therapy..."
tiLLie, Vans
Michael Roffman
August 24, 2018 | 4:07pm ET
Rarely does Atlanta disappoint in the arts and the latest enviable export to come out of the Southern mecca is tiLLie. For the past two years, the self-proclaimed "anti-pop star" has experienced an upward spiral all by her lonesome. She writes her own music. She records her own music. She's plays her own music. But there's a reason for her literal approach to the DIY format.
"Even in the darkest songs, there's gonna be a moment where there's a glimpse of hope," tiLLie says. "Maybe it's something that other people are afraid to talk about — you know, like mental health or domestic abuse or death. That is the job of the artists, to say the things that everybody else is afraid to say. Music has always been and will always be my therapy…"
That hope has since led her to go toe to toe against nine other acts in an effort to score an opening gig for ScHoolboy Q at House of Vans Chicago on September 14th. It's all part of Vans' inaugural Share The Stage competition, which began earlier this year when over 150 artists traveled across the United States and Canada to get their voice heard.
Below, the bold multi-instrumentalist offers a peek at her process.

Singapore accedes to the UN Anti-Trafficking Protocol
webmaster2019-08-30T16:32:24+08:00October 2nd, 2015|News, News Flash, Our Stand|
Statement by Transient Workers Count Too
On 28 September 2015, Singapore acceded to the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (UN TIP Protocol), often known as the Palermo Protocol.
This is the key international legal instrument for combatting trafficking. Though just over 15 years old, it has been signed by most of the world's states and is a crucial reference point for domestic legislation and international cooperation on trafficking in human beings.
Transient Workers Count Too welcomes this step. It is one that we have called for since 2008, at an early point in our own involvement with the problem of trafficking and having assisted individuals who we believed to have either been trafficked or in danger of being trafficked.
In considering acceding to international conventions, Singapore has been consistent in saying that it will only do so when it is able to be compliant with them. This would therefore be a good point at which to look again at the Prevention of Human Trafficking Act (PHTA) and think about ways in which its provisions may fall short of those of the UN TIP Protocol.
In particular, it is notable that the measures for the protection and support of victims of human trafficking in Part 4 of the PHTA are more limited than those called for by the UN TIP Protocol's articles 6-8.
The UN protocol's protective measures extend to all trafficked people, regardless of the purposes for which they have been trafficked. It seeks to empower them by making sure they are fully informed of the progress of relevant legal proceedings concerning them and that their views are heard; it provides for them to have "employment, educational and training opportunities"; it says that each state party to the protocol "shall ensure that its domestic legal system contains measures that offer victims of trafficking in persons the possibility of obtaining compensation for damage suffered."
The PHTA's emphasis is on prosecution of traffickers, and it is weak in its provisions for the protection and support for victims of trafficking. In all the respects mentioned in the previous paragraph, it falls short of the UN TIP Protocol. Its protective measures tend to emphasise protection for individuals trafficked into sexual exploitation, rather than other forms of labour exploitation. The PHTA does not provide the positive support to trafficking victims mentioned above that can assist them better to recover and rebuild their lives.
TWC2 hopes that these inconsistencies will be considered by Members of Parliament and by Singapore's Inter-Agency Taskforce on Trafficking in Persons. We suggest that, in 2016, when the PHTA will have been in force for a year, it should be reviewed, with the aims of:
Bringing its provisions fully into accord with those of the UN TIP Protocol
Introducing amendments to remedy gaps and weaknesses in the PHTA revealed through efforts to apply it in practice.


Folk's here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher.
She was a red hot hootchie-cootcher.
She was the roughest, toughest, frail.
But, Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey.
She loved him, though he was coke-y.
She had a dream about the King of Sweden.
A diamond car, with the platinum wheels.
He gave her a townhouse and his racing horses.
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses.
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes.
She sat around and counted them a million times.
Poor Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown.
He preached to her she ought to slow down.
Deacon Lowdown hollered, "Oh, save my soul!"
Laid with her head on a suee pow.
When "Bang! Bang!" and the dope gave out.
They took her where they put the crazies.
Now, poor old Minnie is picking up daisies.
You've heard my story, this ends the song.
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Ain!


Moments after taking fire, U.S. Marines spot an armed Taliban fighter across the Helmand River where the ambush came from. After receiving clearance and confirming that he is in fact armed, the Marines engage with a MK-12, M240b, and M203 grenade launcher. This is a typical engagement for Marines fighting in Afghanistan, and contrary to popular belief confirmation of targets is confirmed before engaging.


Solar power is a renewable, reliable and clean energy that can be used in several forms to help power up your homes. You can harness the solar energy by installing solar panels on roofs for maximum sun exposure and generate your own electricity.
The electricity generated by solar panels won't replace all of your household electricity, as the solar energy is generated only during daylight hours. Some of the appliances at home such as refrigerator, heating & cooling system, battery etc need a constant supply of electricity. You can reduce the utility bills significantly by shifting your energy consumption from night to daytime. For example – you can shift the use of high electricity consuming appliances to daylight hours and use the electricity generated by solar panels.
Plaza solar panels are a fantastic way to save on energy and resources. They are manufactured from photovoltaic cells that convert visible light into electricity and used for various applications pertaining to energy saving measures.
You can substantially reduce your electricity bills and the environmental impact of your home by installing Plaza Solar Panels at home. Not only this, you can reduce carbon footprint with clean and renewable solar power.
If you are thinking about installing Plaza solar panels for your home, book a consultation with Smarthome NX!


Q: Where can I get it?
Q: How can I get it?
A: First, you have to register as a patient with the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission. Then you need a certification from a doctor or other health-care provider registered with the state.
With a limited supply and a market, many dispensaries are limiting initial sales to patients who have already have registered with them.
Q: Does medical marijuana need to be smoked?
Maryland law does not allow edible medical marijuana products – such as brownies, cookies and gummies – which are popular in other states.
Q: How do I find a doctor who will recommend marijuana?
A: Maryland doesn't want unscrupulous doctors handing out phony marijuana recommendations for anyone who pays. Providers need to meet with patients in person and have a "bona fide" relationship with them before issuing certifications (which aren't called prescriptions, for legal reasons).
The list of doctors registered to recommend marijuana isn't public, but some are advertising their willingness.
Q: How much does medical marijuana cost?
A: It's unclear at the moment, but dispensaries have been warning patients to expect unusually high prices in the early stages of the program.
Q: Can patients from other states purchase marijuana?
A: The law allows nonresidents to participate if they are being treated in Maryland (such as cancer patients receiving chemotherapy). But the commission is not registering out-of-state patients (a.k.a. medical marijuana reciprocity), while it reviews its policies.
It is a federal offense to transport marijuana across state lines – even to the District, Delaware and Pennsylvania, where the use of medical marijuana also is legal.
Q: What conditions qualify for treatment with cannabis?
A: The law lists these conditions as treatable with medical cannabis: Cachexia or wasting syndrome, anorexia, severe pain, severe nausea, seizures, severe or persistent muscle spasms, glaucoma, post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain.

Q: setting values inside jquery issue Here is my function i am declaring bar='0' i just want to update the value of bar='1' only if change is clicked, else the bar should have the default value as 0. so that when ever i alert the bar should alert.
i.e.,
If i  click on the change the bar should have the value of 1 else it should have the default value as 0
How can i do this ..
Here is the code i have tried so far
<script>
$(function(){
      var bar = "0";
      $('#change').click(function()
      {
      var bar = "1";
      });
      $('#fire').click(function()
      alert(bar);
      }
});
</script>

A: The second time around, in the click handler, you shouldn't use var, as that would redeclare bar within the function scope of the click handler.
Simply remove the var as such:
$(function(){
  var bar = "0";
  $('change').click(function()
  {
    bar = "1"; // Remove `var`
  });
  $('action').click(function(){
    alert(bar);
  }
});
