Change in maltose- and soluble starch-hydrolyzing activities of chimeric α-glucosidases of Mucor javanicus and Aspergillus oryzae
Manabu Sugimoto, Takeshi Ohta, Fusako Kawai
Institute of Plant Science and Resources
The chimeric α-glucosidases of Mucor javanicus and Aspergillus oryzae, which has high activity toward not only maltooligosaccharides but also soluble starch and has high activity toward maltooligosaccharides but faint activity toward soluble starch, respectively, were constructed by shuffling the C-terminal regions where low homology is observed between the two enzymes. The chimera genes were expressed in Pichia pastoris to produce and secrete the enzymes that have predicted molecular masses in the culture medium. The two chimeric M. javanicus α-glucosidases, of which the N- and C-terminal regions are substituted for those of A. oryzae, respectively, decreased in soluble starch-hydrolyzing activity, however, increased in maltose-hydrolyzing activity by 2.1 and 4.9 times higher than that of the native form of M. javanicus α-glucosidase, respectively. The chimeric enzymes changed on the Vmax values for maltose significantly, whereas the Km values were similar to that of the native enzyme.

Guido Spork (* 3. Januar 1975 in Berlin) ist ein deutscher Fußballspieler.

Karriereverlauf
Spork begann in seiner Heimatstadt Berlin bei den Reinickendorfer Füchsen mit dem Fußballspielen, ehe er zur Jugend des 1. FC Lübars und von dort 1994 zum BFC Alemannia 90 Wacker wechselte. 1997 startete er seine Profikarriere beim damaligen Zweitligisten SV Meppen. Im Jahre 2000 ging er schließlich zum VfL Osnabrück, wo er den Aufstieg in die zweite Bundesliga feiern konnte (nach zwei knappen Relegationsspielen gegen seinen späteren Verein 1. FC Union Berlin).

Zunächst verließ er Osnabrück, um bei Hannover 96 einen Vertrag zu unterschrieben. Nach nur zwei Monaten kam er jedoch zum VfL zurück, da er in Hannover keine Spielpraxis erhielt. Mit Osnabrück konnte Spork sich nur eine Saison in der zweiten Liga halten und stieg 2001 wieder in die Regionalliga ab. 2003 schaffte das Team aber den Wiederaufstieg, belegte in der Folgesaison jedoch nur den 18. (und damit letzten) Tabellenplatz, woraufhin Spork zum SC Paderborn 07 weiterzog. Auch mit den Paderbornern konnte Spork den Aufstieg in die zweite Bundesliga feiern. In der darauffolgenden Saison konnte er sich jedoch nicht durchsetzen, daher wechselte Spork nach der Hinrunde in seine Heimatstadt zum damaligen Oberligisten 1. FC Union.

Mit den "Eisernen" gelang Spork 2006 der Aufstieg in die Regionalliga Nord sowie der Sieg im Berliner Landespokal. Nach einer durchwachsenen Folgesaison stand Union 2008 sogar kurz vorm Aufstieg in die zweite Liga, verpasste diesen jedoch knapp. Spork selbst fiel in der Saison durch Undiszipliniertheiten auf und wurde daher vom Trainer Uwe Neuhaus kurzzeitig aus dem Kader gestrichen. Als Resultat dessen erhielt er in der Sommerpause 2008 vom Verein die Freigabe für einen Wechsel, obwohl sein Vertrag noch bis 2009 lief. Anfang August unterschrieb Spork einen Vertrag beim BFC Dynamo. Auch bei seinem neuen Arbeitgeber sorgte Spork für negative Schlagzeilen, als er im März 2009 in einer Diskothek in eine Schlägerei verwickelt wurde und eine Anzeige wegen Körperverletzung bekam. Der BFC suspendierte ihn daraufhin kurzzeitig vom Spielbetrieb.

Nach dem Ende der Saison 2009/2010 und dem erneut verpassten Aufstieg in die Regionalliga verließ Spork den BFC und schloss sich dem Brandenburger SC Süd 05 an. Nach einer Saison wechselte er zum 1. FC Lok Stendal, wo mit Volkan Uluc sein Ex-Trainer beim BFC die Mannschaft leitete. Seit 2012 spielt Spork in der Berlin-Liga für Hertha Zehlendorf.

Erfolge
Spork konnte insgesamt dreimal den Aufstieg in die 2. Fußball-Bundesliga erreichen (zweimal mit dem VfL Osnabrück, einmal mit dem SC Paderborn 07). Zudem gelang ihm mit dem 1. FC Union Berlin der Aufstieg aus der Oberliga Nordost-Nord in die Regionalliga Nord.

Für den SV Meppen und Osnabrück bestritt er insgesamt 58 Zweitligaspiele (18 für Meppen, 40 für Osnabrück) und konnte dabei ein Tor erzielen (für Osnabrück).

While hole 7 is the longest hole on the front 9, it plays relatively short. The dog leg can be cut severely and the wind is often times at your back. If you go to far right on your second shot, it is easy to loose your ball in the woods. The woods are not out of bounds, but a good lie is very unlikely.

Co-op in discussions with DFA
Posted by Michelle Monroe | May 1, 2019 | News, Showcase News | 0 |
The St. Albans Cooperative Creamery is in discussions regarding its future. (Michael Frett, MESSENGER STAFF)
ST. ALBANS — The St. Albans Cooperative Creamery has confirmed it is in discussions with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) about the future of the cooperative.
Rumors of conversations between the two cooperatives have swirled around the farming community for weeks.
Wednesday, St. Albans, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, issued the following statement:
"The Northeast dairy industry has seen significant changes in the last decade, including shifts in customer needs, volatility in milk pricing and changing milk marketing dynamics. We are focused on strategically planning for the future of our St. Albans Creamery members and the stability of Vermont's dairy industry. As we explore our options to secure long-term financial strength for future generations of family dairy farmers, we continue to work with our longtime partners, including DFA, on ways to strengthen our relationship. As always, the financial strength of our members' farms is of the utmost importance."
Echoing the statement from St. Albans, DFA said, "Dairy Farmers of America and St. Albans Cooperative Creamery have enjoyed a strong working relationship for the past 16 years, during which St. Albans has been a member cooperative of DFA. As any long-term partners do on a regular basis, we continue to have ongoing discussions about ways to bring value to the members of St. Albans and DFA today and well into the future."
According to Messenger sources, DFA President Rick Smith discussed a possible agreement with St. Albans at DFA's annual meeting in March.
The St. Albans Cooperative and DFA previously shared ownership of Dairy Marketing Services, which marketed milk throughout the northeast, with Dairylea. New York-based Dairylea merged with DFA in 2014, adding 1,200 members to DFA's then 13,000.
DFA manages 42 processing facilities nationwide and supplies milk to the nation's largest bottling company Dean Foods, as well as Chobani Yogurt and Saputo.
Discussions between the St. Albans Co-op and DFA come as the dairy economy enters its fifth year of farmers being paid below the cost of production for their milk. Caused by a national and international oversupply of milk products, low dairy prices have resulted in the closure and consolidation of dairy farms across Vermont and the Northeast region, including members of the St. Albans Co-op.
According to the Vermont Milk Commission's 2019 report, the average number of dairy farms in Vermont thinned from 1,015 farms in 2010 to 725 in 2018. Meanwhile, the amount of milk produced annually in Vermont actually grew between 2010 and 2018, likely the result of surviving farms expanding to make up for lost revenue from lower milk prices as well as improvements in milking practices on farms.
The overall amount of milk produced annually in Vermont only began to gradually decline in 2018.
When presenting during the St. Albans Co-op's annual meeting earlier this year, DFA's Brad Keating told attendees that processing capacity in the Northeastern U.S. had contracted with the ongoing depression in the dairy economy.
The St. Albans Co-op expanded in the last decade, however, adding new dryers to its milk powder facility in 2013 and purchasing the McDermott's trucking company, then the largest trucking company in the Northeast, in 2014.
The co-op also expanded its storefront in 2013.
Much of the milk processed by the St. Albans Co-op is sold as cream to Ben & Jerry's, which churns that cream into a world-renowned ice cream in its production facility located in the St. Albans Town Industrial Park.
In 2009, DFA and Dean were the main plaintiffs in an anti-trust suit, accusing the two of price fixing through exclusive supply agreements and other means. Both ultimately settled, with DFA agreeing to make its contracts and financial arrangements more transparent to members, hire an ombudsman and pay $50 million to Northeast dairy farmers.
DFA was formed in 1998 through the merger of four cooperatives: Associated Milk Producers, Inc., Mid-America Dairymen, Inc., Milk Marketing, Inc., and Western Dairymen Cooperative, Inc.
The Messenger will have more details as they become available.

The gold face of a classic Seth Thomas mantle clock catches the morning sunlight.

LUNSFORD COLUMN: Few things as reliable as a Seth Thomas clock
It was already dark when I came to my desk to write tonight; even the stars and moon have covered themselves with a blanket of clouds on this bleak winter evening. It is a wonderful set of incongruent technologies, but all I hear as I sit in the glow of my laptop screen is a Seth Thomas mantle clock ticking atop an overstuffed bookcase.
I would like to say that the clock — one of two that I own — is an heirloom inherited from my grandparents, but it isn't; I bought both pieces at auction over the years and have never regretted it. The clocks were probably made during the roaring days of the Jazz Age, perhaps a bit later, but since the makers quit putting a manufacture date on them about 1918, I really can't say for sure.
They do, however, remind me of days gone by, of the nights I spent with my father's parents, who lived next door to us. There, in a house originally built without electricity in mind, one that had a coal room and a kitchen pantry and an outhouse that sat surrounded by hollyhocks, I'd head to bed after the late news to listen to the tick of a single clock that sat on a piano in the sewing room. The clock's regular breathing was the only sound in the house, other than that of the shifting coal in the furnace's belly in the winter or the rustle of light curtains in the summer breeze. I either went to sleep with its ticking in my ears, or stayed awake awhile to stare into the blackness of the ceiling.
My grandparents' clock chimed on the half-hour and hour, as do mine, and I came to hear its strike as a normal part of the sounds of the place; every few days, my grandmother would wind it, not an unusual sight in those days, for we also wound the alarm clocks on our nightstands, even the wristwatches that fewer and fewer of us bother with now.
Seth Thomas clocks were perhaps the most popular brand in America for most of a century. Their namesake, born in Connecticut in 1785, got his start working for other clockmakers. Through careful and frugal management, Thomas's company shifted from making clocks with wooden components to those made of brass by the mid-1840s. After Thomas died in 1859, his sons continued to manufacture clocks, expanding their line to make a variety of timepieces. They made and sold so many clocks that it still isn't unusual to find them selling in antique shops or online, or ticking away on mantles and bookcases just as they have for decades.
Much more rare than the clocks themselves are the people who still repair them. When I was young, it was not unusual to find a clock or watch repair shop — usually also a jewelry store — in every neighborhood or small town.
John Walker owns Wabash Watch and Clock Company, moving to his southside Terre Haute location 20 years ago. Now 48, he became interested in repairing clocks and watches after training at Gem City College in Quincy, Illinois, starting to study there just a few days after graduating from high school. But, as is often the case, he's learned most of what he knows about clocks through experience.
"When you go to school, you learn the basics," Walker says, "but it is just enough to get into trouble. You really don't start to learn how to repair watches and clocks until you start working on them."
"I apprenticed under a gentleman to do silversmithing while I was still in junior high school," Walker says. "...I was already drawn to studying jewelry design and repair, engraving, and clock and watch repair.
"I have no regrets at all [about going into clock repair]," he added. "It took me two years to get into the trade; I worked at Hillman's (then on Wabash Avenue) and took less money just to get my foot in the door."
And, over the years, he's seen a lot of Seth Thomas clocks.
"Oh, I work on a lot of them; maybe more than any other clock. There are still so many of them that their value isn't really high [on most of them], but they are so functional. If it has a mechanical mainspring and bushings, it can be rebuilt; any mechanical clock can be. I have people come in with a $15 alarm clock, but they don't want it rebuilt because it is worth much; they want it rebuilt because it was their grandpa's."
Knowing that he is in a line of business that may be a dying art, Walker takes pride in what he does, hanging on to old watches and clocks and spare parts, knowing that someday he'll need "a pin or a watchband link" that he can no longer get. "Some brands don't even sell parts anymore; they have to be sent back to a factory."
Although he's worked on the most expensive watches and clocks made — Cartier and Patek Philllippe came to mind — Walker says he's still "a stick in the mud" and would rather work on a mechanical clock like a Seth Thomas. "I like them because they just continue to work."

Meaghan and Erics Engagement session took place on a chilly October morning. They were such great sports braving the cold and breeze. It really turned out to be a terrific day out there with little traffic, and just about having the entire town to themselves. Such an amazing place with a lot of different looks.

The Persistence of Memory Book 2: All Our Yesterdays
We rated this book:
Frequent readers might remember that I enjoyed the first book in the Persistence of Memory series. Déjà Vu began a saga of superheroes, romance, and quite possibly the end of the world. (I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say the world doesn't end in the first book, especially when there are two more coming.) Daniel Hecht, a Jewish Holocaust-surviving supersoldier who mysteriously survived to the present day, works for WISE, an organization that essentially collects superheroes. There, he meets and falls in love with Nina Asher, a woman with an equally mysterious past, amnesia, and the ability to swear in Sumerian. The book is funny, sweet, and sexy by turns, providing an excellent superhero romance. By the end, we learn Nina is actually Inanna, daughter of Ishtar, and realizing her divinity has brought out a new and somewhat terrifying personality in her.
All Our Yesterdays, the sequel, picks up right where Déjà Vu left off. On the whole, it's an excellent continuation of the story. Many sequels struggle with where to go next, but the author neatly avoided that trouble by not having much to wrap up at the end of the first book. Rather than starting fresh with a new plot, the reader dives right into where things left off, and the storyline feels very natural. I would suggest anyone who hasn't read the first book in a while to go back and at least skim the last couple of chapters to ease back into the world. It'll help you follow the first chapter of All Our Yesterdays a bit better.
Unfortunately, continuing the story from one book to the next also exposes some weaknesses in the first novel. I hadn't minded them at all in Déjà Vu since it was a quick, breezy read that was easy to fall in love with, but through the second book, I found myself forgetting who some of the minor characters were and getting lost in chapter transitions. All the chapters begin in medias res, which lends immediacy to the action, but sometimes makes me wonder how we got to where we are.
Don't walk away from All Our Yesterdays, though, especially if you read and enjoyed Déjà Vu. It has all the strengths of the first book, and I'm confident the third in the series will keep that up. Karen Janowsky has a gift for balancing heat, humor, and heart, which in my opinion means she deserves to be a known name in the romance world.

For several years, the dairy industry has been making an adjustment to consumer demand. The per capita consumption of butter declined from 17.3 pounds in 1939 to 9.2 pounds in 1955. Along with this change has come an adjustment in the number of creameries operating in South Dakota. The number of plants decreased from 120 in 1942 to 73 in 1957. The largest decline was among the plants producing less than 500,000 pounds of butter annually. Two basic approaches to this situation have been taken by the dairy industry. One method has been the use of advertising to increase consumer preference for butter. The other approach has been to make adjustments in processing and marketing. An effective means of adjusting the manufacturing operations has been evident in the Minnesota dairy industry for about twenty years. That method is the consolidation of cooperative creameries. Interest in a program of this nature for South Dakota was stimulated by the recent merger of two cooperative creameries.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, California (AP) — Federal health officials are inspecting Yosemite National Park's food service areas after at least a dozen people have fallen ill with stomach issues.
The National Park Service and the U.S. Public Health Service told the San Francisco Chronicle they launched an investigation after employees and visitors reported the problems this month.
Federal officials said they haven't identified the illness or the origin of the outbreak. Park officials said those who had gotten sick are getting better or already recovered.
Federal officials were working with Aramark, the concessionaire that operates Yosemite's restaurants, snack shops, and hotels, to clean up and disinfect food service facilities in the park, including the famous Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite spokesman Scott Gediman said.
"The park is reminding all employees and visitors to wash their hands frequently and stay home if they experience any symptoms of a gastrointestinal illness," Gediman said in a statement.
A message seeking comment from a spokesman for Aramark has not been returned.
Aramark received numerous complaints from visitors about poor food quality, shuttle service, and other services since it began managing Yosemite's concessions four years ago.
The Ahwahnee Hotel lost its prestigious four-diamond rating by AAA, a distinction the luxury hotel held since 1991, and is now listed as a three-diamond hotel. Visitors to the hotel at the foot of the iconic Half Dome have included Queen Elizabeth II and U.S. presidents.


Sumerlin is a new group in the pop/rock genre that strives to blend the importance of being culturally relevant and spiritually significant through their music. Runaways is a rerelease of their previous debut album with 6 additional tracks. While the length of the album certainly gives you a lot of bang for your buck there where only a few tracks that jumped out as exceptional.
Runaways varied style between guitar rock and pop does not work well in this album. The contrast of style between songs gives you a hit and miss feeling that left me jumping from track to track. The lyrics are good but for the most part lack any deep spiritual insight.
Overall, Runaways was not able to capture me and pull me into the album, however the ride was not a total miss. There are several great tracks that show the bands potential. I think they have some singles that are strong enough in this album that we haven't heard the last of Sumerlin.

MCB's Open Barre: A Better Way to Teach Art	Performance Reviews
Photo courtesy of Miami City Ballet. For original review in Artburst:
http://www.artburstmiami.com/dance-articles/mcbs-open-barre-a-better-way-to-teach-art
If Art History classes in universities were conducted like Miami City Ballet's Open Barre series, 500-person lecture halls would fill instantly and students would conduct sit-ins at being wait listed.
Performed at the intimate Wolfson Theater at the Miami City Ballet Studios (2200 Liberty Ave., Miami Beach), the event showcased young performers from the Miami City Ballet School but clearly jumped outside the format of your typical dance recital before the first dancer set foot on stage. MCB principal and author, Jennifer Kronenberg, met with fans in the lobby, signing copies and fielding questions about the much expanded second edition of her book: So, You Want to Be a Ballet Dancer?
The theater was predictably packed with parents and relatives there to cheer on their children. Michael and Elisheva Rogoff filled at least half a row with fans of their daughter, Natanya, in her third year at the school. Michael explained they considered themselves lucky to live so close given Natanya's five to ten hour weekly practice schedules.
Discovering a fellow Pittsburgh transplant seated behind me started a discussion with Susan Leone, whose daughter, Emma, would later cut an impressive figure as a red-corseted dance hall girl during Western Symphony. Susan explained that Emma had begun her ballet training "in diapers in Dallas," but now was feeling competitive pressures as she auditioned for an opening in a professional company.
The stage itself was set with seven practice barres at different angles to the audience. As school director Darleen Callaghan explained during her welcome, this arrangement would make the movements of the performers transparent from all sides. Important, since dancers from Level I to Advanced would be re-enacting a ballet class as the afternoon's first act.
At a whistle, students in pale yellow and blue, black, red and white leotards took their places at the barre. For the next 40 minutes, they performed a snapshot of movements from a typical ballet class at the school. The class was carefully accompanied by pianist Juvenal Correa-Salas, who peppered classical excerpts with passages from Star Wars and riffs on Beyoncé.
As the first act ended, Maria Torija, MCB's principal dance historian, outlined a brief history of the dance. Beginning with Catherine de Medici and Louis XIV, she passed through the centuries to the Petipa-Tchaikovsky-Ivanov partnership responsible for ballet's famous troika — Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker.
As Torija concluded, "the history of ballet is a history of countries — Italy, France, Russia, and the United States and in that history all roads lead to choreographer George Balanchine."
The final act was a performance of Balanchine's, Western Symphony. The pairing of Valeriia Chaikina and Luiz Silva during the "Adagio" movement was especially inspired. As she leapt repeatedly either into his arms or through them, he calmly snatched her from the air, made a glove of his arms and held her motionless, parallel to the floor or directly overhead.
The finale of Western Symphony sees the entire corps pirouetting in unison as the curtain closes on still spinning dancers. In the intimacy of the Wolfson Theater, where dancers feel close enough to touch, the effect was especially intense. On the way out, past rows of excited relatives waiting with roses for the young performers, something Kronenberg had said before the signing captured the afternoon: "I think all the dancers that step on that stage…are not doing this for just the love of the movement — on the stage we project a possible future for the dance."
What a promising future.

The PlayStation 4 exclusive is coming to a tabletop near you from Steamforged Games. The announcement went live during Gen Con 2018 and since then, the crowd funding fun went wild. The team behind other great tabletop re-imaginings such as Dark Souls and Resident Evil is bringing Aloy and friends into the hearts and homes of many once more.
You can see a demo playthrough with the creators themselves in the video at the top of the article, but for fans of the incredible journey given to us on the PS4 - this next step is the perfect way to take that love to the next level.
"Each hunter has a distinct playstyle with a unique set of strengths and weaknesses. The Nora Outcast is a highly skilled and resourceful archer; the Banuk Survivor lives on a knife edge, pushing themselves to the absolute limit. The Carja Warrior is a flashy but lethal duellist, and the Oseram Forgesmith smashes their enemies around with powerful sledgehammer blows."
It won't be a simple game either, but one rife with choice and consequence. The team added, "Choosing a path to follow from the Tracking Deck offers players a difficult choice. They can choose to take the easy path, progressing with little resistance but earning few resources to spend with the merchants or to boost their attacks; or they can take a more challenging trail, encountering more formidable adversaries. Overcoming these foes will not be easy, but can earn precious materials to empower the hunters for their next encounter. The choice is yours…"

John D MacDonald – Barrier Island
At a little after four on Sunday afternoon, Tucker Loomis got up from his nap on the maroon leather couch in his study, took a bottle of dark Pauli Girl out of his office refrigerator, uncapped it, took several swallows and then strolled through the long living room to the bedroom wing and down to the last bedroom on the right, the one that looked out over the flower gardens.
Maria, the nurse on duty, was watching television, the volume turned low. She saw him out of the corner of her eye,
and sprang to her feet, smiling. Of the three private nurses, she was the only one who wore the traditional white, cap and all. The other two, and the spare who filled in, all came to work looking like ball girls at a tennis tournament. But they were good. All of them.
He winked at Maria and went over to the hospital bed. The head and the knees were cranked up. Thelma Casswell Loomis wore a quilted pink bed jacket and she had a pink ribbon fastened to her sparse white curls. It was the second stroke a year ago which had done most of the damage, paralyzing her right side and killing the language and comprehension centers in the left brain. The right side of her face sagged, distorting the eye and the mouth.
He pulled the chair close to the side of the bed and took her left hand. When he squeezed it, it squeezed back. She always looked at him with a strange earnest expression in her eyes, and tried to talk to him, but made strange sounds. "Gaa nah gaan." Limited sounds, the ah sound plus the hard g and the n.
"Hey, Mother," he said. "I talked to both boys this morning and I came in to tell you and you were having a nap. Everything is fine with the boys, and their ladies, and our grandkids. I talked to everybody. They all send their love. Cass told me Kathie is pregnant again, and when she has the third, they'll be two up on Brent and Jessie."
He talked on, holding her hand, talking into that anxious and earnest and appealing expression, knowing full well she understood not one word of it. She could understand gestures of command turn the head, squeeze the hand, raise the foot, close the eyes. But those same commands, spoken, meant nothing to her. Her anxiety was an anxiety to communicate. He really could not tell whether it helped or hurt to keep coming in and talking to her whether it made it better or worse but it seemed to be the only thing to do. At least it made him feel as if he were part of a family. He wished the kids were closer. It might ease the burden some. But the little ones wouldn't understand at all. He told her all the news he could remember.
Sometimes in the middle of the night he would think about her in the nearby bedroom and wonder how it would be if you could not label the things that happened in your head. If you were cold, you would have no word for it, only a sensation you could not name. There would be no words for lonely, hungry, fear, pain, sorrow, hate, nausea, politics, money or Chicago. Words triggered concepts. It must be a strange place inside her head, with blurred and drifting things that had no names.
He leaned and kissed her forehead, released her hand and stood up. "Well, Mother, I'm going to wander on down to Warner's place because this time of day he'll be wallowing around in the pool with that nutty dog of his, and we've got a little bit of business to take care of. You be good now, hear?"
Maria followed him out into the hall. "How's it going, chi ca he asked.
"Okay. I think she likes the ribbon. I held the mirror and she reached up and touched it and the left side of her mouth went up, which is as close as she can come to smiling. Okay, she had her massage and she ate all the soup and Jell-O and she had a good bowel movement."

After being displaced by February tornado, Spartanburg family grateful for 'guardian angels'
Dustin Wyatt
Herald-Journal
Latoya Carter gently places a tray of cupcakes on the dining room table.
Without hesitation, Alexis Tyus plucks one of the sweet treats and takes a bite, leaving a smeared streak of white frosting across her lips and cheeks.
In a kitchen adorned with Disney-themed birthday decorations, as cardboard versions of Elsa and Anna from "Frozen" watch nearby, Alexis bounces in her seat with excitement on this day of celebration.
The family has a lot of reasons to celebrate.
While the focus on Nov. 12 was on the youngest daughter and her third birthday, the family of four — including 31-year-old Anthony Tyus and 7-year-old Jordan Carter — will never lose sight of how lucky they were on the morning of Feb. 6.
They will never forget the tornado that ripped through their second-floor apartment and sent trees crashing through the roof.
Little Alexis was especially lucky that day. She was on the couch by the balcony moments before the storm swept in. By coincidence, or through guidance from "a guardian angel," she left the couch and went down the hall just in time.
Read their story here:Torn apart, but still together
Had she stayed put, she'd been there when the window gave way and glass and other debris shot inside.
She might not have had a third birthday at all.
"Today is beautiful," Anthony Tyus said, with a smile as he stood inside an apartment at Georgetown Village, where they relocated after their former home was destroyed.
Changing apartments
Anthony Tyus and his girlfriend of five years, Latoya Carter, were living at Crown Pointe Apartments when the tornado churned 10 miles through the city.
It was one of the communities hit hardest by the storm.
"We will never forget that day," Carter said. "It's hard to forget that."
More than 100 tenants at Crown Pointe had to vacate their units because of damage. Some moved in with family, others moved into the Bluffs Apartment Complex less than a mile away, owned by the same company.
Some apartment complexes offered discounts to displaced families.That's how Tyus, his girlfriend and two children ended up at Georgetown Villas.
The complex, at the time, had approximately 20 units available for rent.
Management at Georgetown Villas allowed lessees from Crowne Point to pay a security deposit, but they wouldn't have to pay any rent for February. In March, they were required to pay only half of the cost of rent.
Tyus and Carter moved in. But that didn't solve all of their problems.
'Guardian Angel'
Without renter's insurance, a lot of their furniture and personal possessions took on water damage and was ruined.
That's where Jordan's school, Jesse Bobo Elementary School in District 6, jumped in to help.
The school raised money and offered gift cards to families who were impacted by the storm. Tyus and Carter bought new furniture, blue couches and chairs in their living room.
Carter's place of employment, Ross Dress for Less, contributed monetary support.
The family also expressed gratitude toward Spartanburg City Councilwoman Meghan Smith, who invited them into her home for a meal.
Tyus and Carter don't know where they would be today without all of that support.
"This was significant and pivotal for us to transition into a new life," Tyus said. "It made us feel lucky and fortunate. We had a guardian angel guiding us through life. We are so appreciative, thankful and grateful."
Grateful, despite such a tough year. This summer, the engine suddenly died on Latoya's car. And like everyone in the country, the family has had to cope with the impacts of COVID-19.
"We had the tornado. We had COVID. We had the car issue. We had Kobe," said Tyus, referring to the tragic death of former NBA player Kobe Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26.
"It's been an interesting year to say the least," he added.
Nearby, his daughter Alexis, now 3, ate her cake in a dry chair, beneath a solid roof.
"But it's been inspiring too," Tyus said.

another important issue called clustering tendency.
That means we want to study whether the data sets we have really contain clusters.
Whether data contains some inherent grouping structures.
Otherwise, even use random generated data, you may find a certain number of clusters.
However, it does not really make sense.
That means we want to assess whether the data is suitable for clustering.
clusterability, is a hard task.
Just because there are so many definitions of clusters.
All these different methods may have different definitions of clusters.
That's why to study whether the data is clusterable or not is pretty hard.
However, even we just fix the cluster type.
it is still hard to define an appropriate null model for a data set.
However, there are still some studies on clusterability assessment.

if these two histogram distributions are rather different.
then likely this dataset is clusterable, okay?
The concrete method is we try to divide each dimension into equal waste bins.
Then we try to see each cell here, how many points are in the cell.
Now we can generate an empirical joint probability mass function, okay?
Then for the random generate data sets, we'll do the same.
We'll generate empirical joint probability mass function.
they differ quite a lot.
That means we're going to compare how much they differ.
The typical method is we use KL divergence.
That means we calculate the KL divergence value.
divergence is defined based on some formulas.
I'm now going to introduce the detail of KL divergence.
you can check any textbook in statistics or mission learning or data mining.
In general they introduce this measure.
Then you'll find if they are very different.
Then, from the random samples, then you will say this data set is clusterable.

The purpose of this site is to build a community to deepen and enrich understanding between Japan and the United States and between Japanese and Western people.
Henna Gaijin is Japanese for "strange foreigner". The paradoxical part is that the meaning is the exact opposite of what you'd think! The Japanese expect foreigners to be weird, so going around speaking English, shaking hands, not knowing how to use chopsticks and so on is not considered strange: quite the contrary, it's only to be expected, and the Japanese are usually extremely accommodating and more than glad to offer a friendly lecture on how we Japanese do things.
But the henna gaijin do not fit the mold -- they creep out the Japanese by acting too Japanese, even though they blatantly look like foreigners. Henna gaijin can speak Japanese, use chopsticks, eat natto with relish, know more about Buddhism and garden landscaping than most Japanese people, and even use the elevators correctly. They blur the distinction between gaijin and nihonjin, raising all sorts of the disquieting questions about what it really means to be Japanese. Surely it cannot be merely a question of physical appearance, now can it?
This definition is from www.everything2.com Please type henna gaijin in the search box at the top of the page, and take off from there.
Send us your definition of and we will post it here.
YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN JAPAN A LONG TIME WHEN..... you PUT YOUR SLIPPERS ON TO GO THREE STEPS to the tatami room on the other side of the hallway.
....COLD TOILET SEATS are SHOCKING!
....you know which side of the car to get into.
... breakfast is incomplete without NATTO !
....(in the Snow Country winter) grownups in bright colored RUBBER BOOTS NO LONGER LOOK SILLY, but sensible.
Okay, HennaGaijin-sama - we all know these - let's add more! Send yours to and we'll publish it.
It reminded me of the summer of 1994.
I took my product group in the U.S. to Japan that summer, for both business and fun. My boss was a funny guy and he wanted to make T-shirt that said "Crazy Foreigners" in Japanese and wear it there. We told him "Crazy Foreigners" would be a little too harsh and I recommended "Henna Gaijin".
We made about 20 T-shirts that had "Henna Gaijin" (in Japanese) in very big letters in the front. Some people chickened out but my boss bravely wore it when we went to Akihabara in Tokyo. I had great time watching people walk by, looking at my boss's T-shirt and giggling. He had a great time having people's attention.

Isn't it strange? He knows what to do!
why is he pretending he's Japanese?
just what is he trying to prove?
so just what do you plan to do about it?
Pardon me, sir, is this the teriyaki take-out?
Please, step in line. We'd like to save you some time.
Some sushi with rice. It oughta taste pretty nice.
Put in some tamari and some sesame oil.
Fan of vegetables, they've gotta great tempura!
Bring a tomodachi 'cause it's not very far.
Stand up at the counter, eating eight to the bar.
Have some shabu-shabu -- or a chicken curry!
A certain something waiting for me.
There's octopus and fried squid.
Have some donburi with pork.
Add a bowl of miso for my baby and me.
Eat your bowl of Ramen.
It will make you feel like you're a Yokohaman!
With your dad and mommy.
Take it home and eat it in your own pajamies.
I'd like to try a teriyaki takeout for my own!
I want to carry you home!
I want to carry you hoooooome!


Q: Would RDs prefer we volunteer far in advance and risk backing out at the last minute or would RDs prefer we volunteer later when we're positive we can commit to a given volunteer date?
A: The former. RDs prefer volunteers sign up far in advance unless there is a high likelihood of being unable to attend. It's much easier to deal with a handful of volunteers backing out at the last minute than having to deal with many volunteers signing up at the last minute.
Q: I volunteered for a race and the volunteer page said I would be contacted shortly by the RD. But I have not been contacted and it is late. Is there someone else I should contact or am I not needed?
A: We've encountered circumstances where the volunteer did not provide a working email address or mail from the RD bounced back. If you have not been contacted and are concerned about this, verify that your email is receiving email and email the RD directly (using the address from the volunteer page). If you're still not contacted, show up anyway. Volunteers are expected to show up no matter what mistake the RD makes!
Q: I'm afraid I will make a mistake (such as misdirecting runners) that will ruin the race. What's the safest job for my first volunteer experience?
A: Yes, directing runners is a crucial job and while we aim for perfection, don't worry – we understand when things don't go perfectly. But if you want a job that's low on pressure and no contact with runners, consider cleanup. If you don't mind dealing with people, there's also parking and refreshments. For a specific race, contact the RD for more advice.
Q: I don't have much free time and when I do, I like to run. How do people choose which race to miss?
A: There are many factors you might like to consider. For example, if you do a long run on Saturdays, consider volunteering for a Sunday race which will give you a day of rest. Conveniently, our races are split almost evenly between Saturday and Sunday! Some of our races are in interesting places that you might not otherwise visit. So if you volunteer, you'll be left with the rest of the day to explore, shop, eat, or see something interesting in a new locale.
Q: I want to volunteer for another organization's event. Can I borrow some club equipment for the day?
A: No. MCRRC does own quite a bit of equipment that we are happy to assist other events with. However, we provide these goods and services under a contract for Race Management Services (RMS). Contact rms@mcrrc.org for more info.

Doctor Who - Silence in the Library & Forest of the Dead
Our Doctor Who expert, Tony Cross, is journeying through all of time and space to bring us his thoughts on every available Doctor Episode. Today is the Tenth Doctor adventures Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead...
So that was Silence in the Library - Forest of the Dead that was. Written by Steven Moffat and introducing River Song (played rather wonderfully now and always by Alex Kingston). It's a good couple of episodes.
It's atmospheric and tense. It's got a rather clever little creation in the Vashta Nerade, who are minute, swarming motes of stuff that act like the piranhas of the air. They live in the shadows. Not all shadows, just some. They're out there. In the dark. Waiting. Not everyone, as the Doctor points out, comes back from the dark.
It's well acted, and a likeable set of characters are bumped off one by one whilst the Doctor tries to work out what the hell happened and has happened.
In the meantime, there's a rather strange little parallel story - connected, of course - featuring a little girl (Eve Newton) and Doctor Moon (Colin Salmon). I've got to pause here to praise Eve Newton whose performance as The Girl is rather lovely. It's hard to get good performances from child actors and Euros Lyn does a fine job here. Their final identities are revealed as the episodes progress so it should be obvious to the viewer who they are before it is to the Doctor as Moffat gives us both stories simultaneously, sowing clues and eventually telling all. It's cleverly structured and, because not every story in the season has the same type of structure, refreshingly brilliant.
I'm going to say it. I think Moffat writes better Doctor Who when he's not the Show Runner. When there's someone above him to tell him no. Hence some of the best RTD era stories are written by Steven Moffat.
Also watching this makes me think that it isn't the Doctor that has a problem with endings, it is Steven Moffat. I wouldn't be as high-falutin' as to think that this is an issue Moffat himself has with death but there's definitely a firm wish that nobody dies.
This story ends with everybody 'saved'. No necessarily alive but saved. But what is life? Is being conscious and kept in a computerised database version of a real world 'life'? Is it consciousness that makes us 'alive'. Am I thinking far too deeply about two forty-five-minute episodes of a family adventure series. Yes, yes, I am but I do think Moffat can't say goodbye.
Otherwise why is River Song's story never ending. They tell writers when editing to 'kill their children', which always struck me as an over-dramatic way of describing a good piece of advice. That sometimes a writer must be brave enough to take out something that they like: a plot thread, a character, a page, a paragraph and even just a single sentence. I think Moffat finds that difficult. Hence River Song's story will last until Moffat chooses to leave Doctor Who and he will keep bringing her back. I think Moffat is a little in love with River Song. Like I think RTD was always little in love with the Doctor.
And why not? There both brilliant characters played by excellent actors. I like River Song. I think though that - as with Rose - there is a law of diminishing returns. However, I also like Alex Kingston as an actor (and if you've not seen her episode of 'Who Do You Think You Are?' you really should. It'll make you like her as a person too.)
Obviously all the above could be utter bollocks. I'm trying to see in to the head of a complicated man via the medium of a couple of episodes of television. So, feel free to ignore everything I've written and put it down to the rambling delusions of a man who should probably get out more.
And I've hardly said anything about the episodes themselves.
Well, if you want a proper review there are other reviews out there. Lots of podcasts. I recommend DWM myself they're always pretty good.
There's some nice performances but I think my favourite is Jessika Williams, as Anita. When the Doctor eulogises her in a few seconds towards the end of Forest of the Dead when trying to scare the Vashta Nerade I found myself agreeing with him. I think she'd have made a fine companion. But kudos to everyone really Steve Pemberton, as Strackman Lux; Talulah Riley as the poor, thick Miss Evangelista; Harry Peacock as 'Proper Dave' and O.T. Fagbanie as 'Other Dave'.
I think also a little mention for Jason Pitt as Lee, Donna's 'husband', in the world of the saved. We get some foreshadowing in this episode that Donna's fate isn't a happy one but the moment when Donna and Lee miss each other is probably the saddest moment in the episode. Everybody might live but not perhaps happily ever after.
Catherine Tate and David Tennant do another sterling job. It almost goes without saying now. They're a Doctor-Companion team worth watching. I could rave about them both again, but it hardly seems fair on your poor reader.
So well done to all concerned. This was good.

Nissan GT-R Tested 24/03/2016
Find a Used Nissan GT-R
Full Road Test
Nissan's GT-R has been subtantially revised with smarter looks, driving-performance enhancements and key new features. Jonathan Crouch reports.
Although some eyes may be drawn to the Nissan GT-R's price creeping up, if anything the value proposition is now stronger than ever. With yet more dynamic ability, this improved, re-styled GT-R is fully prepared to face down the next generation of rivals who are only now responding to the shock of its original launch back in 2007.
The 'modern' Nissan GT-R legend began with 1989's multi-race winning R32, was bolstered by the N??rburgring-crushing R33 in 1995 and went stratospheric with the 1999 R34, hero of the Gran Turismo PlayStation game. Even so, few were prepared for the relentless annihilation of all rivals by the 2007 GT-R. Here was a car that was offered for sale for less than £60,000 but which could make a £100,000 Porsche 911 Turbo appear out of sorts. Somewhat remarkably, the car's creator noted in 2007 that as jaw-dropping as that car was, the real deal would emerge gradually as the result of year-on-year iterations. The latest version has been re-styled and re-fettled but its appeal remains much as before. Still the same somewhat brutal styling, still the same rumble of the 3.8-litre V6. So let's take a closer look.
We haven't yet had the chance to give the latest GT-R a thorough appraisal yet, but the somewhat unfathomable thought is that it could actually get much better than it already is. Even the original 479bhp GT-R was a car that, if you'd never driven one before, would blast your performance goalposts into the next postcode. The latest car's 3.8-litre 24-valve twin-turbocharged V6 engine now offers 570PS - up from 550PS before - and gives even sharper acceleration in the mid to high-ranges (3,200rpm and above). It comes mated to a thoroughly updated 6-speed dual-clutch transmission that features smoother shifts and less noise. That familiar GT-R tone also has been upgraded with an engine that has never sounded better. The resonance of the new titanium exhaust and Active Sound Enhancement (ASE) should enhance the driving experience. The GT-R has always been regarded as one of the world's best handling machines and with this latest car, its cornering abilities should be even better. A more rigid body structure and revised suspension are supposed to result in better stability through quick lateral transitions and higher overall cornering speed. Providing the grip are sticky 20-inch tyres, wrapped around smart "Y-spoke" machine-finished forged aluminum wheels.
The GT-R's exterior gets a complete makeover across the front end, with a chrome matte finish "V-motion" grille that's been enlarged to provide better engine cooling and features an updated mesh pattern. The smarter bonnet, which flows flawlessly from the grille, has been significantly reinforced, contributing to stability during high-speed driving. A freshly-designed front spoiler lip and front bumpers with finishers situated immediately below the headlights give this improved GT-R the look of a pure-bred racecar, while generating high levels of front downforce. The GT-R's familiar wind-cutting shape defines its profile, but the side sills have been pushed out to improve air flow. The rear of the car has also received a thorough makeover. While the hallmark four-ring rear lights remain, look closely and you'll notice new bodywork to help improve air flow, as well as side air vents next to the quad exit exhaust pipes. Also, the belt line that separates the lower black section from the body panel has been heightened to give the car a wider and more aggressive look from the rear. Step into the cabin, and you're greeted by a more premium interior. The entire dashboard and instrument panel have been redesigned and covered with high-quality leather artfully stitched together with TAKUMI precision. The shape of the dashboard adopts a "horizontal flow" that delivers a sense of increased stability for the car's front-seat occupants, while the line from the instrument cluster to the centre console provides a distinct driver-oriented environment for those behind the steering wheel.
Expect to have to find in the region of around £80,000 for this car. Though that's hardly an insubstantial amount, it's still pretty good value when you consider that to achieve comparable performance in, say, a Porsche 911 or an Audi R8 would set you back well over six figures. And even then, you wouldn't get this car's sub-3.0s 0-62mph sprint capability. Now, more than ever, this car deserves its 'poor man's Veyron' tag.
Although the Nissan GT-R has been hailed as the performance bargain of the decade, don't let that fool you into thinking it's remotely affordable to run for anyone with a normal salary. Everything about this car is big money. It munches consumables at a prodigious rate, chewing through tyres and clutches with abandon if used in anger. Fuel economy, although closer to 25mpg for this latest model, is still pretty eye-watering too and residual values are no longer the unimpeachable proposition they once were. Insurance is a full-house Group 50 and many insurers will load premiums when they hear those three magic letters. Although ongoing costs may be steep, few owners will regret their purchase because the GT-R is something very special. It's a vehicle that carries a weight of personality well beyond its price level.
The Nissan GT-R is a car that, more than ever, appears to bend the laws of physics to its own will, defying conventional measures of power to weight and generating traction where none apparently exists. It's the genius in its chassis engineering that has had other manufacturers scratching their heads and winding up power outputs to obscene levels in an attempt to keep pace. The latest GT-R will have them reaching for their drawing boards again. There will be those who decry the Nissan as a one-trick pony, a vehicle that can shine on a lap of the N??rburgring but which possesses an otherwise narrow band of talent. The latest GT-R broadens its appeal somewhat - albeit at a price - but those who doubt the Nissan are usually those who have never driven one. The GT-R is a complex, capable and charismatic car that just got a whole lot better. More power to it.

SUSTAINABILITY & ETHICS
Disruptive Technology in Behavioural Health: Ethical and Risk-Management Challenges
By Frederic G. Reamer, Ph.D
Digital technology has transformed the delivery of mental health services worldwide. Behavioural health professionals now have the option to provide remote and "distance" counselling services using a wide range of online tools, smartphone applications, video technology, and other technological innovations. This disruptive technology has enhanced consumers' access to services. Yet, these impressive developments have ushered in a challenging array of ethical and risk-management challenges.
Since time immemorial, people have struggled with mental health challenges. Although formal diagnostic labels and nomenclature are of more recent origin, historical records are replete with accounts of what we now regard as major mental illness. The term psychosis is derived from the Greek psyche, meaning "soul," "mind," or "breath". The ancient Greeks believed that breath was the animating force of life and that when it left the body, as happened in death, the soul left the body. A common belief in antiquity was that mental illness was bestowed by the gods. Many people sought cures via magical and religious rituals, including spending a night in a temple of the healing god Asclepius. Many historians believe that Socrates manifested symptoms of auditory hallucinations. Back then, the ancient Greek doctors did not have terms for what we now call schizophrenia.1
The concept of mental health counselling dates back to the nineteenth century, when the professions of psychiatry, psychology, and social work – what have become the principal behavioural health professions – were inaugurated. Since these professions' creation, people who struggled with debilitating depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, addiction, and other mental health challenges typically have received in-person counselling and other assistance in inpatient psychiatric facilities and outpatient clinics or private offices. For more than a century, mental health counselling has entailed an essential feature: the client and behavioural health practitioner sit in a private room and engage in confidential discussions. For most, these services have been paid for by clients' health insurers under their policies' coverage or government-sponsored programmes. Some clients have chosen to pay for services out of pocket.
Fast forward. Today, many people who seek mental health counselling regard such face-to-face counselling sessions in brick-and-mortar clinics and offices as decidedly quaint. As with so many other areas of contemporary life, digital and other electronic technology has been transformative – and disruptive.
The Shifting Clinical and Ethical Landscape – Or "Webscape"
Behavioural health professionals' use of digital and other technology to provide distance counselling services is proliferating.2 Increasing numbers of contemporary practitioners are using video counselling, email chat, social networking websites, text messaging (SMS), smartphone apps, avatar-based websites, self-guided web-based interventions, and other technology to provide clinical services to clients, some of whom they never meet in person. Digital technology has created unprecedented options for the delivery of mental health services. Increasing numbers of clinicians are relying fully or partially on various forms of digital and other technological options to serve people who are struggling with a wide range of mental health challenges. Clinical practice is no longer limited to office-based, in-person meetings with clients.
Digital technology has created unprecedented options for the delivery of mental health services.
Some practitioners are using digital technology informally as a supplement to traditional face-to-face service delivery. Others have created formal "distance" clinical practices that depend entirely on digital technology. In addition, practitioners' routine use of digital technology – especially social media and text (SMS) messaging – in their daily lives has created new ways to interact and communicate with clients.

Q: how do i get the street address using getJSON foursquare venue API? Heres what the usual API json response looks like for venues
https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/explore#req=venues/search%3FproviderId%3Dnymag%26linkedId%3D59455
and this is the code i have so far
$.getJSON('https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=32.7153,-117.1564&limit=14&radius=1000&client_id=PKAHBB1OAX0B000CG5UUYO4BXV0LWQWKFB51EK3XVNFJ2ULS&client_secret=RDPX01C01RHCYASZIKVH5XXMPVFIPLFHFP1D53UR4GUWQD50&v=20120101',
function(data) {
console.log(data);
    $.each(data.response.venues, function(i,venues){
        content = '
' + venues.name + '
';
        $(content).appendTo("#venues");

   });

});
But thats only grabbing the venues name. How do i also grab the address and Lat, Long, under the location section?

A: The address and lat/lon are actually exposed in the response you're getting from Foursquare. Try:
$.getJSON('https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=32.7153,-117.1564&limit=14&radius=1000&client_id=PKAHBB1OAX0B000CG5UUYO4BXV0LWQWKFB51EK3XVNFJ2ULS&client_secret=RDPX01C01RHCYASZIKVH5XXMPVFIPLFHFP1D53UR4GUWQD50&v=20120101',
function(data) {
console.log(data);
    $.each(data.response.venues, function(i,venues){
        content = '
Name: ' + venues.name +
            ' Address: ' + venues.location.address +
            ' Lat/long: ' + venues.location.lat + ', ' + venues.location.lng + '
';
        $(content).appendTo("#venues");

   });
});

A set of compact enterprise-grade pre-trained STT Models for multiple languages in different formats.

<!-- task: audio-stt -->

## Overview

Silero Speech-To-Text models provide enterprise grade STT in a compact form-factor for several commonly spoken languages. Unlike conventional ASR models our models are robust to a variety of dialects, codecs, domains, noises, lower sampling rates (for simplicity audio should be resampled to 16 kHz). The models consume a normalized audio in the form of samples (i.e. without any pre-processing except for normalization to -1 … 1) and output frames with token probabilities. We provide a decoder utility for simplicity (we could include it into our model itself, but it is hard to do with ONNX for example).

We hope that our efforts with Open-STT and Silero Models will bring the ImageNet moment in speech closer.

Mumbai, Aug 19: After the successful resurgence of Bhojpuri potboilers, Denmark based businessman, M Harwani has come up with a Sindhi commercial film 'Pyar Kare Dis: Feel the Power of Love', the first in a span of five years.
Launched last evening, the film Pyar Kare Dis, boasts of being a family entertainer and revolves around the journey of a Non Resident Indian girl to her country of birth and how she finds the love of her life.
''With only 20 films released in Sindhi language in the last 60 years of independence, I am trying to revive and encourage the spirit of Sindhi cinema, particularly the dialect through my maiden Sindhi film as a producer,'' Harwani told the sources.
In spite of the fact that the Hindi film industry has many Sindhi financers, producers and artists, they have failed to release a movie in their mother tongue, said Harwani. ''The success of Pyar Kare Dis would change this scenario,'' he added.
Recalling the black and white era, the producer observed that Sindhi films of earliar times were made well with limited resources and were also received by the community because of good story lines. But in the recent past, films made in Sindhi were very poor in content and direction.
On the issue of commercial viability of a Sindhi film, a confident Harwani asserted that there are five crore Sindhis spread across the world, hence there is ample scope for a Sindhi film to be a profitable venture''. If Bhojpuri films can be profitable with their newfound status, then I do believe Sindhi films can also be profitable'', he added.
Directed by Kamal D Nathani, the film has presence of bollywood actors Rajat Bedi, Preeti Jangiani and a host of television actors.
Pyar Kare Dis is expected to hit screens on September 14.

I am back to fly an ultra light for the first time in a while. I have been busy flying Cessnas and Pipers and my trusted Riders have been neglected lately.
I smile but he is right. In many ways, the very light two seaters are more demanding than the stable and tranquil larger Cessnas.
I'm flying "Charly Oskar" today. With her 100hp Rotax engine, she is very well powered for her weight. I take time to go through the short check list and taxi to the runway slowly. I push the throttle forward and the world accelerates around me. No time for watching the airspeed build up before rotating eventually. The airspeed indicator comes to life and the needle shoots past the rotation speed. I pull slightly on the joke, the rumbling stops but the acceleration does not. I can't hold the "Yee-Haw" in!
For the first few moments I'm a bit overwhelmed and very busy managing the energy. After that, the fun starts.
I have no big plans for today. Just getting comfortable with the Rider again. I start with a few patterns. The approach is easy. The glide slope feels natural and the landing is acceptable. Good.
After three or four landings, I take a quick strool around the hood. The sun is shining and I relax. Holding my altitude requires a bit more attention than on the Cessna. The ultra light is more agile but also more nervous.
After the last landing of the day, I taxi back to the apron. I shut down "Charliy Oscar" and finalize the check list. The flight was fun but I have mixed feelings. I enjoyed the simplicity and agility of the Rider but at the same time I missed the tranquile solidity of the Cessnas and Pipers. Going back is hard.
