Balls Remembers
By Maurice Brosnan
"It Was Blunt. Leeds Rang, 'We Don't See You As Part Of Our Plans'"
To give you a sense of the several frustrations facing Eunan O'Kane right now, before he sits down for this interview he is in the middle of constructing IKEA furniture and that wouldn't crack the top ten.
It is 399 days since the Republic of Ireland international has played a game of football. He is currently out injured with a double leg break that refuses to heal and contracted to a club that has told him he is unwanted.
While the Leeds United midfielder waits to recover everything else keeps moving. This is the longest absence of his career but he is not angry. O'Kane speaks with reason and relaxation. It is not great yet it is not a calamity either. He misses football but does not mourn it. A plan is already in place to return and rebuild.
Only one aspect of his injury is truly frustrating; watching Ireland play.
"They are the only team I struggle to watch," he tells Balls.ie with a sigh.
"I just feel like I was around the squad for so long. I spent three years in nearly every squad and only made seven appearances. There are other people who have been in a similar position to me. Waiting for that chance to come and now they are getting it."
"I am missing out in effect or missing out on the opportunity to play. I could have been there, I could have been a part of it. It makes it worse when I am trying to watch on TV, compared to my situation at Leeds. I knew I was not in those plans. I'm effectively not missing anything. I wouldn't play anyway."
Callum Robinson, Enda Stevens, John Egan. Their chances came and they took them. O'Kane just wants to be able to put himself in the frame for that chance.
"Even if I was fit for Ireland, I wouldn't be guaranteed to play. It is not being able to at least put yourself in the position to have that opportunity, that is the frustrating part."
In September 2018, O'Kane broke his leg shortly after joining Luton Town on loan. It was quickly confirmed as a fractured tibia and fibula. The timeline for his return was set at nine to fifteen months.
Then standard practice followed. The loan deal was cancelled, he returned to his parent club and began rehab. All the while he knew he would soon need to find a new club and that lengthy timeline loomed large over all of it.
"It is not something that any athlete wants to hear. Personally, I switched off from football completely because it was difficult to watch. It was hard knowing the end was so far away. The opportunity to play was so far away."
Things got worse. A year in and the leg had not healed. Three weeks ago, Eunan O'Kane went back in for surgery. A bone graft was required, back to square one.
I had been outside running, kicking, jumping. Pretty much doing everything. I think on average I was covering 22 kilometres per week. But between myself and the physio we knew something was wrong.
I still had a limp and it didn't seem to be going away. We knew I wasn't ready to go back and play so we went to see the surgeon. He could tell something was wrong.
Despite it all, O'Kane feels good. The mind is rearing to go, the body says not just yet.
"I am fit. I have been on bikes and things like that. I haven't been lying around which helps. The aim is to be back on the grass in the next two to three weeks."
Back on the grass with a view to moving on. Since Marcelo Bielsa took over at Leeds, Eunan O'Kane has found himself omitted. He has not played a minute since the Argentine took control.
That came after 56 appearances under three different managers; Garry Monk, Thomas Christiansen and Paul Heckingbottom. Yes, the rapid conveyor belt of managers through the club felt strange given his prior experience was much more stable but the relationships were positive. They all strived to improve him as a player and that's all he can ask of them.
It all changed in the summer of 2018. The phone rang and a conversation followed. O'Kane has only one word to describe it.
"Blunt."
"I don't remember the exact date the manager took charge, but it was that summer and I got a call from Victor Orta (Leeds director of football).
"He just told me straight out. 'We brought in a new manager, he doesn't see you as part of his plans. It is probably best you look to go on loan or move on to get some football.'
"I was still on holiday. Apparently, he watched all of the games from the previous season and made his decision based on that."
O'Kane's moment of realisation came when he turned 14. Born in Feeny, Co. Derry his time was initially divided between two principal pursuits; Gaelic football and soccer.
If his father had his way, O'Kane would be representing the Oak Leaf County right now and playing in Celtic Park. It became a contentious issue between the pair: 'What are you messing with that for?' his father would ask.
It was only later in life that they had a real heart-to-heart about it. O'Kane discovered the deep dread that was at the heart of his father's frustrations. He had rubbed shoulders with several figures who'd taken up scholarships across the water in a bid to make it in the professional game. It had not gone well for them.
He did not want his son to go the same way.
After his first trial, O'Kane was hooked. This did not have to be a hobby. It could be so much more than that. He could just play football. That's what he did. Over 300 games up until summer 2018.
Then he was told by his club they didn't want him to play for them anymore. Then he got injured. Then he had another set-back and the injury was prolonged. Yet he's pensive about all of it.
"It was hugely frustrating but that is football at the end of the day. How many managers take over clubs and all of a sudden, someone who was playing previously or thought they were an important part of the team finds it has changed. It is part and parcel of the industry we are in."
When it comes to Bielsa, he keeps a wide berth.
"We have never had a conversation. He gets on with his business and I get on with mine."
The Leeds United phenomenon continues to captivate. Whether it be in celebration, chaos or controversy, they are the club that continues to deliver. Eunan O'Kane has enjoyed his time there so far, even when it comes to the more eccentric characters like former owner and chairman, Massimo Cellino.
I think everyone was aware it was entertaining but in terms of Cellino himself, I can't say anything bad about him. Anything he said he would do for me, he did it. He was a character. There are some good stories out there but at face value, with me, he stuck by his word.
He was always honest with me. From a person to person level, I don't think you can ask for more than that.
That is the thing. From a player's perspective, it is the exact same as the situation with the manager now and not being part of his plans. Obviously it was not nice to hear but at least everyone knows where they stand.
When you ask a club for something and they tell you they will do it but don't, that is more frustrating. If you are told 'no', everyone is on the same page and you can move on.
The Irishman has recently occupied his time in other ways. He may have chosen one sport but that does not mean he turned his back on the other.
The last few months have been spent closely following the fortunes of Banagher in the Derry Club Championship.
"My dad is the manager of our local club so I have taken a very keen interest in that. I was home last weekend just for it. They played the county semi-final which they were unfortunately beaten in. I have really enjoyed following what is going on."
There is more to life than football. There is more than GAA too. O'Kane knows that and believes the fact that he does has helped him through this demanding stint.
"If it was something that consumed my whole life I do believe I would have found it even more difficult."
Like countless others who have departed these shores, he maintains close links to home in ways while wavering in others. Having been raised as an Irish Catholic and attending Catholic schools, moving to the UK soon signalled a move to Humanism.
That explains so much Eunan O'Kane's mentality. He blames no power for his current plight and looks to no one else to resolve it.
"When I moved away to England if someone asked me what religion I was, I would have said Catholic even though I hadn't been to church for three or four years."
"It was only when I met my now wife, Laura, I actually learned what the term humanist was. When she talked about it I just felt, that is what I am. I don't really believe there is a god. I have been a humanist for the last few years without knowing the term or realising it.
"I was 23, 24. Around that time I would officially call myself a humanist. Previous to that, I was one without knowing it.
"I live by a set of values to be a good person the same as the majority of the world. There is no practice as such, I go about life the same as everyone else. I make decisions based on the fact I hold myself accountable to them. No one else or any higher power. At the end of the day, hopefully people think I'm a good person when people come across me."
He has set himself a target of Christmas to be fully fit with a loan deal in January to follow. After that, Eunan O'Kane wants to pick up where he left off. Doing what he loves for his club and his country.
"If you are playing well, the Ireland thing will follow. I just want to get back playing football."

Khatre Da Ghuggu
Starcast - Jordan Sandhu, Diljott Dil, B.N Sharma, Anita Shabdeesh, Prakash Gadu, Satwinder Kaur, Nitu Pandher, Raj Dhaliwal, Savvy Singh, and many others
Producer – Aman Cheema
Director – Shivtar Shiv and Aman Cheema
Review: As we enter 2020, Khatre Da Ghuggu comes as the first release of the year and as expected from the trailer, the movie was a disappointing attempt. The story of the movie doesn't match the title even a single. The sad part is that even though we didn't expect much but this was way lower than our least expectation levels.
The story of the movie which is penned by Ravinder Mand seems to be a bad mix of subplots that hint at his confused mind probably when he was penning it. Like the other Jordan Sandhu releases, this one is yet again about him hoping to make it big as a singer someday. His love interest is played by Diljott and all the other twists and turns in the story are totally irrelevant, be it Anita Shabdeesh's story or Nitu Pandher' s bad man in love angle.
Other than wasting the time with these subplots we also think that the directors have even wasted the talent in the movie. Majorly they have underutilized all the main character actors. The director(s) have not been able to extract the necessary potential of their actors and to top it all, BN Sharma's character seems to have overdone his bit.
Talking about the lead actors, Jordan Sandhu seems to be fine in the movie but he could have done better. In fact, he could have opted for a better movie altogether. The man is surely a good actor with poor choices. He isn't concentrating on quality but quantity of the movies. Undoubtedly, with this long list of flops, he needs to rethink his choices. Diljott seems to be the girl next door in the movie, similar to her real-life self. Her dialect and her act seem to be okayish but her act has not left an impact.
Another noteworthy yet funny part of the movie is how it relocates to Dubai for its songs. The movie is shot in local locations yet the songs are shot in Dubai. For god sake! The makers need to move out of that era and be realistic.
Also, it was absurd to see how BIG FM indulged in tarnishing its brand image as the movie showed its senior executives in quite a bad light. Not expected from a brand like BIG FM.
The only impressive performance in the film was delivered by Davvy Singh who donned a turbanned look. He acted well and made us want to see him more onscreen.
Overall Verdict – You can surely miss this one without a second thought. Save money for a better movie.
Rating - 1/5 (Pathetic)

Vancouver, BC., CANADA - January 5, 2015 - Artists for Conservation (AFC) is pleased to announce the opening of its touring exhibit at one of the most remarkable art/science institutions on the planet - the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM) - a facility that uniquely combines a zoo, botanical garden, art gallery, natural history museum, and aquarium over 98 acres of desert habitat.
On January 10, the 2014 AFC Exhibit tour premieres in the Museum's Ironwood Gallery. The museum also has a large conservation and research program that work towards the conservation of the Sonora Desert region. The museum's Art Institute fosters an appreciation in the use of fine art as a vehicle for conservation awareness and support.
The last tour to ASDM was exactly two years ago, and that exhibit garnered a record attendance for an opening in the Museum's 52-year history. During the opening weekend, Jeff Whiting will be in attendance for hosted screenings of AFC's three documentary films and for the formal opening of the tour.
"We're very proud to be working with an organization dedicated to inspire people to live in harmony with the natural world" explained AFC President, Jeff Whiting. "And we're particularly excited this year as it represents the next step in a long-term partnership with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum that will see AFC returning every second year." The AFC Touring Exhibit, featuring approximately 50 artworks from the Vancouver show, will be on view in the Ironwood Gallery open daily from 10am-4pm through March 8, 2015.
Following the tour to Arizona, the exhibit is scheduled to move to South Florida in April. More details, including dates and times will be released as they are finalized.

Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced it has appointed Dr. Norbert Riedel, President and CEO of Aptinyx, to its Board of Directors.
Prior to joining Aptinyx, Dr. Riedel was president and CEO of Naurex, the predecessor company acquired by Allergan and from which Aptinyx and its technology were spun out. Prior to Naurex, Dr. Riedel served various roles at Baxter International including corporate vice president and chief science and innovation officer. Previously, he was head of worldwide biotechnology and held a number of scientific management positions at Hoechst Marion Roussel (now Sanofi). Dr. Riedel serves on the boards of Jazz Pharmaceuticals and the Illinois Biotechnology Innovation Organization. He served on the board of directors of Ariad Pharmaceuticals until the company was acquired in February 2017. Dr. Riedel is a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and served on Governor Pat Quinn'sIllinois Innovation Council. He is an adjunct professor at Boston University School of Medicine and Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and, prior to moving into industry, was an associate professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and a visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Riedel received a Diploma and Ph.D. from the University of Frankfurt and was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University.


If Star Wars: The Force Awakens was the spark that ignited a flame, next year's Episode VIII will be a slow burn. Fans of Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo Ren can expect a film grounded in its characters.
Later during the Future Filmmakers panel, Episode VIII star John Boyega (Finn) made an appearance, adding that "[In Episode VIII], the characters have been pushed in a new direction in a very, very cool way." So don't expect Finn to stay knocked out for too long.
While Johnson had little to say about Luke's character arc in Episode VIII, he did add that the film, like The Force Awakens before it, would also feature an abundance of practical effects and new locations. "The amount of sets we've built on this movie has been absolutely outrageous," he said.
Johnson also offered up a bit of a tease for film aficionados to decipher: The 1949 Gregory Peck film Twelve O'Clock High was a "really crucial" stylistic influence on the eighth film in the Star Wars saga. (It's also currently streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime.) Other inspirations include Bridge on the River Kwai, Gunga Din, Sahara (starring Humphrey Bogart), andThree Outlaw Samurai—all of which he watched with Lucasfilm on Skywalker Ranch.
So there you have it: Episode VIII will be a character-based follow-up to The Force Awakens starring Rey, Luke, and (possibly) Finn—featuring a cameo fromRogue One director Gareth Edwards as an undisclosed character—with plenty of exciting new sets and practical effects. Oh, and it's also really, really cool.

Sony Leaks: MPAA Paying Off Elected Officials to Attack Google
I haven't really gave the Sony email leaks much attention, but today I stumbled across this and I think it deserves a lot of attention. It seems some of the leaked emails from the Sony Pictures hack have revealed how deep the MPAA and Sony hate google. These emails are now raising questions about how the MPAA abuses the legal process in corrupt and dangerous ways. The most serious charge, is that it appears the MPAA and the major Hollywood studios directly funded various state Attorneys General in their efforts to attack and shame Google...... Let that sink in for a minute.
MPAA Paying Off Elected Officials to Attack Google
Google has been a popular target for some state Attorney Generals. The state Attorney General with the biggest chip on his shoulder for Google has absolutely been Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, who seemed to think that it was Google's fault that he could find counterfeit goods via search. A few months later, he was back blaming Google for infringement online as well.
What has come out of the Sony Pictures Leak is not just that the MPAA was "friending" state Attorney Generals, but that the MPAA was funding some of this activity and actively supporting the investigation. The leaked emails reveal that rather than seeing that NY Times article about corporate/AG corruption as a warning sign, the MPAA viewed it as a playbook. But not for preventing investigations but for encouraging and funding them. This appears to go way beyond that NY Times article. This isn't campaign donations or inviting AGs to speak at lavish events and paying for the travel. This is flat out paying AGs to investigate Google (even on issues unrelated to copyright infringement) and then promising to get extra press attention to those articles.
Hopefully you have read the above and have an idea of what is going on here. The MPAA is not just a group a good guys who put ratings on films or try to better the industry. They have grown into a "Goliath" that is all about killing creativity and making money. They have created a service that is unneeded and forced it on the the people. The MPAA has never and will never stand for the betterment of anything, they will only stand for profit and killing innovation. This is bigger than copyrights and piracy, this could potentially censor the internet that we use so freely.
Yet it isn't just the MPAA that is at the helm of this thing. The MPAA, Comcast and a handful of studios want to block your access to what they don't like. Yes it will start with piracy, but where will it end? Look at how they talk about bending the current laws to fit their needs:
SCOPE We have traditionally thought of site blocking in the US as a DMCA 512(j) issue. In some ways, that is too narrow and we plan to expand our scope of inquiry on two levels. First, DMCA 512(j), by its terms, necessarily creates an adversarial relationship with the target ISP (and more generally with the ISP community). We have been exploring theories under the All Writs Acts, which, unlike DMCA 512(j), would allow us to obtain court orders requiring site blocking without first having to sue and prove the target ISPs are liable for copyright infringement. This may open up avenues for cooperative arrangements with ISPs. Second, we start from the premise that site blocking is a means to an end (the end being effective measures by ISPs to prevent infringement through notorious pirate sites). There may be other equally effective measures ISPs can take, and that they might be more willing to take voluntarily. Our intention is to work with our own retained experts and Comcast (and MPAA's Technology group) to identify and study these other possibilities, as well as US site blocking technical issues.
We now know what they don't want us to know and now it's up to us to make sure it doesn't happen. Forewarned is forearmed...


Palm kernel is an important kind of by-product from palm oil extraction plant. About 45%~48% of palm nut is kernel. The kernels contain about 47%~50% by weight of oil. Palm kernel oil is quite different from palm oil in both characteristics and properties. However, it is more similar to coconut oil.
Full pressing, solvent extraction and pre-pressing solvent extraction is the three main oil extraction methods of palm kernel.
Full pressing extraction is also called single pressing, which is a physical extraction method that squeezing oil out under high pressure by use of mechanical screw oil press. The typical process of screw oil pressing plant is: palm kernel crushing, flaking, steam conditioning, mechanical oil expelling and oil filtering. Production cost depends mainly on mechanical wear and tear, electricity and maintenance expenses. Below is some of our Palm Kernel Oil Pressing projects.
Full pressing method is suitable for both small and large palm kernel oil mill plant, while solvent extraction method is generally applied to large scale oil mill plant. If you are planning to start palm kernel oil extract business, ensure your capital investment and your daily capacity before deciding the oil production process.
Solvent extraction plant separate the oil by mixing solvent in the material. Production cost depends mainly on solvent loss and energy used in solvent recovery. Compared with screw pressing, the oil recovery of solvent extraction plant is more complete.
Pre-pressing & solvent extraction is another popular palm kernel oil production method.
After oil pressing or extracting, the oil then requires clarification in a filter press or by sedimentation. To ensure premium quality of final oil and by-products, palm oil mill should have strict quality control from fresh palm bunch processing to kernel oil extraction. Build palm kernel oil extraction plant with professional oil production process is the very first step to the success of your business. ABC Machinery offer turnkey palm oil mill plant solutions from design, manufacture to installation, with competitive price.
Generally, palm kernel extraction is separated from palm oil extraction. Most small and medium palm oil mills are not designed with palm kernel processing unit, but selling the kernel to other oilseeds extraction plant (such as copra, shea nuts, cottonseeds, coconut seeds, rapeseed, groundnuts and so on).
Palm kernel production in increasing steadily over the years. Both full press extraction and solvent extraction is available for palm kernel oil extraction plant.
I am interested in owing a medium scale Palm Kernel edible cooking oil factory in my country and I am willing to rely on your professionalism to this regard. I will like to know the milling steps and processes as well as the machines involved at competitive price, Thanks Igwe.
Pleased to learn that you're interested in our products palm kernel oil plant!
However, could you kindly inform us more info by filling in the form in the email attachment, so we could suggest and design for you accordingly soon.
I need more information on palm kernel oil plant and your products that are applicable to this project.
As for your raw material palm kernel, what's your desired capacity per day?
How much is your palm kernel oil extraction machine. Also what is the output per day. That is, how much oil is it capable of extracting in an 8 hour shift. Thank you for your urgent response.
What's your capacity per day? To offer customized solutions could you please take some time filling the form in the email attachment.
For small oil press, our customer could install it themselves, for large scale oil press, we send engineers to your factory for installation. Pls kindly inform us your desired capacity per day, so we'll see what kind of machine do you need.
Tks for your enquiry, pls confirm the palm kernel is decorticated ..
We can receive the palm kernels with shell or without shell but obviously the price of both materials will be different. I ask you for working with the 2 options so I can see what it is better in cost for me. We were thinking in a plant to treat 40 Ton per day of palm kernel and to produce around 20 Ton per day of OIL. But we are open to listen different posibilities. Please do not hesitate to comment anything so you can help me in the right way. We are not experts in this field.
It's better to have palm kernel as raw material, the decorticator equipments from China Market is not economical.
Pls kindly fill in the form in the email attachment for basic info, so we could design and quote for you asap.
I looking to buy an effective palm kernel oil extracting machine for my oil palm plantation in Africa. Could you please, send me more information about your products. I am looking for equipment for a small scale industry.
Will try my best to give assistance.
I would like to start a small scale palm kernel oil processing plant in Nigeria which can take between 5 - 15 tonnes of palm kernel per day. Please help with anything you think I can use to achieve this reducing cost of production and labour is of high pirorty.
Thanks for your email. As for your capacity and budget, we suggest that you could start from 5TPD.
FYI, pleases refer to the photo in the website (the cooker is not included considering the oil content of kernel is high.
We need a quote for Turnkey plant for the extraction of palm kernel oil (PKO) and palm oil extraction and Refining.
1. Is your raw material palm seed or kernel, could you show me a photo?
2. How much raw material do you want to process per day?
3. Where do you want to locate this project, in USA or Africa countries?

Margareta a României () este prima fiică a fostului suveran Mihai al României și a soției sale, principesa Ana de Bourbon-Parma. În 2017, după moartea tatălui său, a preluat conducerea Casei Regale a României și este pretendentă la tronul desființat al României (cu apelativul "Majestatea Sa"). În afară de titlul de "principesă a României", a folosit și titlul de "principesă de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen" (de altfel autoritățile elvețiene au impus Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen drept nume de familie în actele oficiale, situație schimbată ulterior). Din 2007 a primit din partea fostului suveran titlurile "Principesă Mostenitoare a României" și "Custode al Coroanei Române". Prin părinții ei, Margareta este descendentă directă din marile familii imperiale și regale ale Europei, numărând printre strămoși regi ai Franței, Angliei, împărați germani și țari ruși.

Născută în exil, după abdicarea forțată a tatălui ei, și-a petrecut prima parte a vieții în Marea Britanie și în Elveția. La fel ca și cele patru surori mai mici ale sale, Margareta a fost botezată creștin-ortodoxă și nu a învățat în copilărie limba română. A studiat la Universitatea din Edinburgh și a profesat în cadrul mai multor organisme ale ONU. Ulterior a renunțat la această carieră pentru a se dedica activității caritabile în România, unde a putut intra imediat după Revoluția Română din 1989 (în comparație cu tatăl ei, care a întâmpinat greutăți din partea autorităților până în 1997). În cadrul activităților caritabile l-a cunoscut pe actorul român Radu Duda, cu care s-a căsătorit în Elveția, în 1996. Mariajul morganatic nu a produs urmași.

În urma unei schimbări de paradigmă în relațiile dintre fostul suveran și autoritățile române, Mihai a susținut un turneu european în sprijinul primirii României în NATO, iar ulterior i-au fost restituite numeroase proprietăți private; în acești ani, Margareta s-a profilat în succesoare a tatălui ei, secondându-l în numeroase activități de reprezentare și efectuând pe cont propriu sau alături de soțul ei multe altele. Succesiunea (în poziția de șef al casei regale și implicit de regină a României) a fost fixată prin mai multe documente private emise de fostul suveran, dar nu e lipsită de controverse (susținerea pentru restaurarea monarhiei în România este mică, iar constituția monarhică din 1923 excludea femeile de la succesiunea tronului).

Margareta este din 2015 președintele organizației umanitare Crucea Roșie Română.

Biografie

Copilărie și educație

Principesa Margareta a României s-a născut la 26 martie 1949 în Lausanne (Elveția).

În copilărie obișnuia să-și petreacă vacanțele avându-i ca parteneri de joacă pe Prințul Charles al Marii Britanii și pe sora acestuia, Prințesa Anne a Marii Britanii care erau de vârstă apropiată, dar și pe Prințul Amedeo, Duce de Aosta (n. 1943) alături de rudele din familia regală greacă, daneză și luxemburgheză.

Margareta urmează școala în Italia, Elveția, apoi in Marea Britanie, la un internat. Întorcându-se în Elveția la vârsta de 14 ani, urmează Liceul Francez unde se îndrăgostește de filosofie, fiind una din materiile preferate în timpul liceului. După terminarea liceului, susține bacalaureatul francez, iar apoi petrece un an în Italia, alături de bunica sa Regina Mamă Elena, la Vila Sparta, care o încurajează să meargă la Universitatea din Edinburgh.

În tinerețea ei la Universitatea din Edinburgh, principesa Margareta a avut o relație cu Gordon Brown, viitorul lider al Partidului Laburist britanic: "A fost o poveste de iubire puternică. N-am încetat niciodată să-l iubesc, însă într-o zi nu mi s-a mai părut potrivită, era politică, politică, politică, iar eu aveam nevoie de grijă".

După absolvirea Universității din Edinburgh, unde obține, în 1974, licența (M.A.) în sociologie, științe politice si drept public internațional, a lucrat într-un număr de universități britanice, specializându-se în sociologie medicală și politici de sănătate publică, ulterior participând într-un program de cercetare coordonat de Organizația Mondială a Sănătății, concentrat pe elaborarea de recomandări de politici de sănătate și proiecte de sănătate preventivă. În 1983 s-a mutat la Roma și s-a alăturat Organizației pentru Alimentație și Agricultură a ONU, unde, ca membră a echipei proiectului Zilei Mondiale a Alimentației, a lucrat la o campanie de promovare în masă a programelor de agricultură, nutriție și eradicare a sărăciei. Trei ani mai târziu s-a alăturat Fondului Internațional de Dezvoltare a Agriculturii. În toamna lui 1989 și-a abandonat cariera la ONU și s-a mutat la Geneva să lucreze împreună cu tatăl ei, devotându-se în întregime muncii de caritate pentru România.

După Revoluția din 1989

Imediat după momentul decembrie 1989, Margareta, alături de sora sa, Sofia, aflând de nefericitele evenimente petrecute în România, expediază în țară medicamente, alimente, haine și alte ajutoare de urgență pentru românii răniți și aflați în nevoie. În România au ajuns trei transporturi de câte 40 de tone fiecare, ce sunt direcționate la căminele de copii, spitale, și casele de bătrâni din București (și zonele din jur), Oradea, Brașov, Sighișoara, Huedin, Timișoara și Ploiești.

Pe 18 ianuarie 1990 Margareta, însoțită de principesa Sofia, ajunge la București, punând pentru prima dată piciorul pe pământ românesc. În cele 8 zile cât au stat în România au vizitat spitale, orfelinate, case de bătrâni, sate distruse și monumente în ruină și află de drama zecilor de mii de copii închiși în cele 600 de orfelinate ce trăiau în condiții mizere și fiind infestați cu virusul HIV. După vizita din ianuarie 1990 Margareta, șocată de atrocitățile comise de regimul comunist, lansează numeroase apeluri internaționale prin care cere ajutorarea României.

Căsătorie

În 1994 Margareta l-a întâlnit, în timp ce vizita un orfelinat din România, pe actorul Radu Duda, care coordona la aceea vreme un program de terapie prin artă, proiect desfășurat de Ion Caramitru prin intermediul fundației patronată de ea.

S-a căsătorit pe 21 septembrie 1996 la Lausanne cu Radu Duda, cunoscut din 2007 ca "ASR Principe al României", iar din 1999 și ca "principe de Hohenzollern-Veringen", viitor "principe Consort al României", și care, începând din 1999, o reprezintă în public pe Margareta și pe întreg restul familiei regale, cel mai adesea singur.

Slujba religioasă a fost oficiată de mitropolitul ortodox Damaskinos al Elveției, care participase și la nunta Reginei Ana și a Regelui Mihai din 1948, când era un tânăr diacon. Mitropolitul a participat la toate evenimentele speciale din viața familiei regale precum botezul Majestății Sale Margareta și a surorilor ei, Elena și Irina, care au avut loc tot în Biserica Ortodoxă Grecească din Lausanne. Acesta este și locul unde a avut loc înmormântarea Reginei-Mamă Elena a României.

În cadrul slujbei religioase Margareta a fost însoțită de regele Mihai, care i-a fost și naș în prima parte a ceremoniei verighetelor, alături de regele Constantin al II-lea al Greciei, care i-a fost naș în cadrul ceremoniei coroanelor de aur, potrivit ritualului regal.

La ceremonia religioasă și la petrecerea ce a urmat au participat peste 250 de invitați, membrii ai familiilor regale din întreaga lume printre care s-au numărat Regina Sofía a Spaniei, Infanta Elena a Spaniei, ducesă de Lugo, Henric, Marele Duce de Luxembourg alături de Maria Teresa, Principele Alexandru și principesa Catherine ai Serbiei, Împărăteasa Farah a Iranului, Regele Constantin al II-lea al Greciei si Regina Anne-Marie, Prințesa Irene a Greciei și Danemarcei, Principele Hassan și principesa Sarvath ai Iordaniei, Maximilian, Mare duce de Baden, principesa Chantal a Franței, alături de români veniți cu autocarele din toată Europa. Luna de miere și-au petrecut-o în Iordania la Amman, dar și la Aqaba, pe malul Mării Roșii și Mării Moarte, timp de 18 zile, la invitația Familiei Regale Iordaniene.

Scandalul fregatelor

BAE Systems, unul dintre sponsorii fundației ei de caritate, împreună cu reprezentanții companiei, au fost implicați într-un scandal internațional de corupție privind achiziția de către guvernul român a două fregate britanice retrase din uz, restaurate de BAE Systems, pentru care s-ar fi oferit o mită de 7 milioane lire sterline, din care o parte ar fi ajuns în buzunarele familiei regale. Cotidianul "Gardianul", observând că atât Principesa Margareta, cât și soțul ei, Reprezentant Special al Guvernului, s-au întâlnit de un număr de ori, în mod oficial sau neoficial, cu reprezentanții BAE Systems, atât înainte, cât și după semnarea contractului guvernamental, au investigat dacă familia regală a făcut lobby în favoarea companiei. Într-un comunicat oficial citat de "Gardianul", Radu Duda neagă astfel de activități de lobby.

Activități publice

Până în 2006, Fundația Principesa Margareta a României a atras conform unui raport propriu peste 5 milioane de euro, bani prin care au contribuit la dezvoltarea societății civile din România. La nivelul anului 2012 peste 11 milioane de euro au fost investiți pentru oamenii în nevoie din România prin intermediul fundației, beneficiind de aceștia aproximativ 174.000 de vârstnici, 25.ooo de copii și tineri, și 2.800 de familii aflate în situații dificile.

Începând cu anul 2013, Margareta este patron al organizației The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award România, debutul programului fiind marcat de o gală la care au participat, alături de ea, fiul cel mic al reginei Elisabeta a II-a, principele Edward și soția acestuia, Sophie.

Cu ocazia sărbătoririi a 25 de ani de la întoarcerea în țară a primului membru al familiei regale după 42 de ani de exil și de la înființarea Fundației Principesa Margareta a României, s-au organizat în zilele de 17 și 18 ianuarie 2015 o serie de evenimente.

La eveniment au participat colaboratori și susținători ai fundației și proiectelor acesteia. Duminică 19 ianuarie a decorat în numele regelui o serie de personalități din România, SUA, Marea Britanie, Franța și Elveția printre care Frédéric Mitterrand, fost ministru al Culturii în Franța și nepotul lui François Mitterrand, contesa Susanna Antamoro de Cespedes și maestrul bucătar Albert Roux. Șirul evenimentelor a continuat cu o vizită a Margaretei, surorilor sale și a invitaților de peste hotare la Televiziunea Română, în Studioul 4 al Televiziunii Române, locul de unde au fost transmise evenimentele din decembrie 1989; pe parcursul vizitei au fost însoțiți de președintele-director general al Televiziunii Române, Stelian Tănase, și de Claudiu Lukacsi, directorul Direcției Emisiuni Informative și Sport din televiziunea publică.

În cursul serii, la ora 18, a avut loc un Concert de gală la Ateneul Român unde au stat alături de Altețele Lor Regale Principesa Sofia, Principesa Maria, Principele Nicolae, precum și Principele Lorenz al Belgiei, invitat special. Seara sa încheiat cu un dineu oficial găzduit de Palatul CEC la care au participat peste 500 de personalități, printre care Prim-ministrul Guvernului României Victor Ponta și doamna Daciana Sârbu, Președintele Senatului Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, membri ai Executivului, membri ai Camerei Deputaților, membri ai Senatului, fostul Președinte Emil Constantinescu, primarul municipiului Chișinău, dl Dorin Chirtoacă , președintele Academiei Române și președintele Academiei de Științe a Moldovei, primarul Andrei Chiliman, maestrul Sorin Dumitrescu, maestrul Ștefan Câlția, maestrul Horia Andreescu, maestrul Dan Grigore și dr Marga Grigore, violonistul Remus Azoiței, Președintele Televiziunii Române și Președintele Societății Române de Radiodifuziune, directorul general al Agenției Naționale de Presă, președintele Romfilatelia, doamna Rodica Coposu, Ilie Năstase și doamna Năstase, primarul comunei Regina Maria din Soroca, directorul general al Filarmonicii George Enescu, precum și președintele CEC Bank.
În discursul de la Ateneul Român, Margareta a afirmat că Sub îndrumarea Regelui Mihai, Familia Regală a ridicat o construcție socială, culturală și educațională, precum și o respectată instituție regală, într-o vreme care avea nevoie de modele, de iubire, de inspirație și de exemplu personal. De asemenea a amintit de momentul când Familia Regală a fost oprită pe șoseaua București-Pitești, când se îndreptau către Curtea de Argeș, locul unde se află mausoleul regilor și reginelor României, cu mitraliere îndreptate spre convoiul regal, urmând ca peste un sfert de secol majoritatea românilor să poarte Coroanei afecțiune și respect, ca dovadă fiind sutele de personalități, ce reprezintă simbolic și instituțional întreaga națiune.

Margareta și principele Radu au primit în data de 22 martie 2015 titlul de cetățean de onoare al județului Cluj, într-o ceremonie desfășurată la Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, distincția fiindu-le acordată în semn de recunoștință "pentru tot ce a făcut familia regală pentru Ardeal și pentru Cluj". La ceremonie au participat aproximativ 1000 de persoane, printre invitați numărându-se arhiducesa Maria Magdalena a Austriei, fiica principesei Ileana a României, și baronul Johannes von Holzhausen, principele Nicolae al României.

Cu ocazia împlinirii vârstei de 66 de ani, în martie 2015, Margareta a oferit un dineu la Castelul Peleș la care au participat reprezentanți ai autorităților publice și personalități din România și din Republica Moldova. Președintele României Klaus Iohannis și soția acestuia Carmen s-au aflat printre invitați. Klaus Iohannis a declarat la scurt timp: "Pentru mine, Familia Regală reprezintă nu numai o pagină esențială din istoria țării noastre, ci și un simbol al valorilor pe care le admir: respect față de oameni, putere de a trece peste nedreptăți și greutăți, generozitate și bună cuviință". Cu aceeași ocazie Margareta a decorat, în numele Regelui Mihai I, o serie de personalități marcante ale vieții publice și o serie de instituții culturale și de învățământ din România și din Republica Moldova.

În luna mai 2015, Margareta a fost aleasă în funcția de președinte al Societății Naționale de Cruce Roșie din România, în cadrul adunării generale care s-a desfășurat la Brașov. Societatea Națională de Cruce Roșie din România a fost înființată în anul 1876, în timpul domniei Regelui Carol I, fiind susținută, încă de la începuturi, de Familia Regală. Regina Elisabeta, Regina Maria și Regina-mamă Elena s-au implicat în acțiuni umanitare ale Crucii Roșii Române.

Din 2016

În martie 2016 a fost anunțată îmbolnăvirea de cancer și retragerea din viața publică a fostului suveran. Mesajul său citea: "Această situație vine în anul în care familia și țara sărbătoresc 150 de ani de la fondarea dinastiei și a statului român modern. Sunt sigur că fiica mea, Margareta, custodele coroanei, va găsi forță de a mă reprezenta și de a duce la îndeplinire toate acțiunile mele publice".

În luna octombrie 2016, Margareta a fost gazda a două ceremonii de decorare a unor personalități române și străine, cu ocazia zilei de naștere a regelui Mihai. Ceremoniile au avut loc la Castelul Peleș, în holul de onoare. Margareta, a conferit, în numele Regelui Mihai I, diferite ordine și decorații.

Titluri, ranguri, onoruri și premii

În 1997 regele Mihai a numit-o drept succesoare la conducerea Casei Regale de România. Potrivit Constituției din 1923, care stabilea succesiunea după legea salică, Margareta și surorile sale nu ar fi putut succeda la tronul României (a se vedea și Ordinea de succesiune la tronul României).

La 30 decembrie 2007, ziua în care s-au împlinit 60 de ani de la abdicarea forțată a regelui Mihai, acesta a desemnat-o pe Margareta drept moștenitoare a tronului, cu titlurile de "Principesă Moștenitoare a României" și de "Custode al Coroanei României", printr-un act care, în timpul formei de guvernământ republicane și în absența aprobării Parlamentului Regatului României, are o însemnătate simbolică, act considerat de unii editorialiști ca fiind nedemocratic. Cu aceeași ocazie, regele Mihai a cerut Parlamentului ca, în cazul în care națiunea română și legislativul vor considera potrivită restaurarea monarhiei, să renunțe din acel moment la aplicarea legii salice de succesiune, care era în vigoare atunci când regele Mihai a abdicat, articolul 77 din Constituția anului 1923 menționează că puterile constituționale ale regelui sunt ereditare în linie coborâtoare directă și legitimă a regelui Carol I de Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, din bărbat în bărbat, prin ordinul de primogenitură și cu excluziunea perpetuă a femeilor și coborâtorilor lor.
De asemenea, în noul Statut al Casei Regale a României se precizează neapartenența descendenților ilegitimi ai regelui Carol al II-lea al României , pe orice latură colaterală, la linia de succesiune a tronului României și excluderea acestora din Casa Regală a României, ei neputând să revendice privilegii, apelative, titluri, sau ranguri regale.

Potrivit art. 1 alin. 2) din Normele fundamentale ale Familiei Regale a României, "Șeful Casei Regale a României, potrivit tuturor practicilor și convențiilor de astăzi, este de jure sau de facto Suveran, în termeni de autoritate asupra Casei Regale a României, la orice moment. Imediat după decesul Șefului Casei Regale a României, fără vreo proclamație ulterioară, Moștenitorul Evident sau Moștenitorul Prezumptiv, în funcție de cine va fi în viață și primul în linia de succesiune la acel moment, va primi din acea clipă titlul și apelativul de Rege sau Regină, indiferent de poziția Familiei ca Dinastie domnitoare sau ne-domnitoare și indiferent dacă, mai târziu, va alege sau nu să nu folosească un asemenea titlu sau apelativ".

În conformitate cu acestea, și atâta timp cât România va fi încă o republică, Margareta a decis să folosească apelativul de Majestate, însă nu și titlul de Regină, utilizându-l pe cel de Custode al Coroanei, pe care chiar fostul rege Mihai i l-a înmânat.

Q: How to determine layout of ListView not based on position when recycling I have extended CursorAdapter and associated it with a ListView. I have two different layouts for the rows and have implemented getViewTypeCount, getItemViewType, newView and bindView. The data comes from an SQL table where each row has a layout column that indicates what kind of layout this item should have.
My getViewTypeCount looks like this:
@Override
public int getItemViewType(int position) {
int layout = mCursor.getInt(mLayoutIndex);

if (layout == DataHelper.LIST_LAYOUT_ADD_PROJECT)
    return 0;
else
    return 1;
}

But this seems to screw up the recycling of views.
How can this be accomplished? Or is this a bad way of implementing this?

A: First of all, you shouldn't store the layout integer ID in persistent storage, these IDs can (and will) change with later compilations based on the order and names of things, so it will most likely come bite you later. This might actually be the source of your troubles.
The other thing that I see is that you don't use the position argument that was provided to you, so how do you know that the data in mCursor corresponds to the current position being queried?

Manchester, UK, March 21, 2013 – EON Reality, the world's leading interactive 3D software provider, today outlined an ambitious plan to revolutionise learning in mainstream education. As advocates of 3D immersive teaching tools, the company wants to build on the success of 3D learning in the States and change the curriculum and the way children in the UK learn.
The California-based company, which officially opened its new interactive research and development centre in Manchester this week, will locate an Entrepreneur Coding School in the building which will offer 100 free places each year to talented young local people who can sign up for a 12 month full-time coding course, starting in September 2013.
The school will deliver a comprehensive training programme aimed at developing Manchester's digital content workforce, specialising in interactive 3D technology skills. The course will include coding, 3D modeling, design and development, training 500 students over 5 years in these specialist digital skills. The expertise these students will acquire will also be suitable for many other industry sectors, such as architectural and product visualisation work, games creation, multi-media design, design reviews and broadcast media. The top 50 per cent of each cohort will be offered a permanent job with EON Reality upon graduating and one trainee will be awarded an internship in California or Singapore.
Studies have shown that 3D technology improves test results by an average of 17 per cent and increases a child's concentration. Attention levels rise to 92 per cent during 3D lessons compared to 46 per cent in the traditional learning environment. Interactive 3D technology teaching triggers an interest in learning with levels of questioning increased and questions asked by those who wouldn't normally engage. This technology also can help children who find learning difficult such as those with conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism.
From as little as £795 per classroom, any school or college can use the EON Reality software and a library of more than 4,000 educational models across a range of core subjects from cellular biology to global geography. Together with a 3D enabled projector and 3D glasses for students to wear, the school is ready for virtual 3D learning.
The US based company will also locate an Entrepreneur Coding School in the building which will offer 100 free places each year to talented young local people who can sign up for a 12 month full-time coding course, starting in September 2013.

So as we approach the denouement of the season, the prediction league goes missing. Great.
Maybe they disabled it temporarily for testing purpose to see if it speeds up the side a bit? We'll see.
@1FF Prediction league: Had much fun in my first season. Unfortunately I missed nearly the whole March and part of April due to my hospital stay and therefore I am now way out of the race in the PL and Championship prediction. But at least I won the 1FF League Cup Predicta (because it was already decided in February) although the Program hadn't calculated the Final between ManU and Southampton for weeks.
Odd thing to happen right at the end of the season me thinks, although the Chp, L1 and L2 leagues were already over anyway, which left only the PL one still to be decided. So, what happened Saddlerrad TractorBoys? Cheers.
Relax folks- just checked, it's all still there, it's just been disabled. Perhaps due to site speed complaints, can't be sure as it wasn't my doing.
@to whom it may concern: I know it's off-season now in the leagues but will we get the prediction league back soon (it's now disabled for a few weeks) to get the final standings in the different leagues and the league cup?
But I am a persistent and annoying german so I am asking again: Will the Prediction League return for the new season (and will we get the final results of last season)?
I'm still waiting for an explanation on why was this taken down only 3 days before the final day of the PL season, when the CHP, L1 and L2 leagues were already over. A simple brief explanation would do just fine, thank you.
Please do not get me wrong. I have to stress that I'm not looking for any 'prizes' for winning two leagues (or was it 3?Can't remember), it's only that I feel that those who took part in this for all of 46 weeks should get an explanation at least.
And another thing. I only take part in prediction leagues because predicting footy games is something that I enjoy, and I think most of the others do so for this reason too. If this is not returning for whatever reason - and I don't have a problem if admin deem so - are we allowed to run our own prediction leagues?

13 Best Indian TV Shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime in 2020
Namrata Gogoi 18 April 2020
The Indian TV Shows scene has undergone a drastic change in recent years. The family dramas previously dominated the prime time, the scene has changed for the better and how. Thanks to streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, now you have a massive library of excellent TV shows. From spy thrillers to tales about rural India to the background stories of scamsters and gangsters, you name it. The best thing? Most of these TV Shows are mini-series.
So, if you are looking for ways to binge in 2020, here are some of the best Indian TV shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Note: The certification of the shows is displayed under the title, just after the year of release on Netflix.
1. Little Things Season 3
Available on: Netflix
Rated: 16+
If you want to watch something sweet yet realistic drama, Little Things is probably one of the best series out there. This little story tells the story of Dhruv and Kavya, a couple in their 20s, as they navigate through their respective careers and relationships.
Originally, it aired as a YouTube web series for two seasons, and the third season was streamed on Netflix. It's adorable and yet grounded in reality. You will love practical Kavya and the adorable Dhruv. Their characters and situations keep you in touch with the reality.
Watch Little Things
2. Yeh Meri Family
Rated: 7+
Who doesn't love to reminisce about their pre-teen years? I love going back into the lanes of our childhood, back when human relationships were easy, sibling fights were solved within hours, and the hardest thing in life were the summer projects.
TVF's Ye Meri Family will take you back exactly to those simple times. It intertwines an emotional story with great background music and lyrics. And the innocent approach will tug at your heart.
The story is seen from the eyes of Harshal Gupta and is set in the 90s Jaipur. Yeh Meri Family also stars Akarsh Khurana and Mona Singh as the parents of Harshal.
Watch Yeh Meri Family
3. Pushpavalli Season 2
Streaming Partner: Amazon Prime
Pushpavalli first aired in 2017 and stars Sumukhi Suresh in the titular role. If Season 1 focused on Pushpavalli's obsession with Nikhil, season 2 is more about revenge.
Yes, the food science graduate is back. Only this time, you won't see the dovey-eyed graduate who is constantly tailing Nikhil. This time, she is wiser and is ready to take her dignity back.
For the binge-watchers, this is the perfect series to spend a weekend on. And yeah, Sumukhi Suresh is wonderful as Pushpavalli.
Watch Pushpavalli
4. Made in Heaven
Rated: 18+, NSFW
If Yeh Meri Family is all about the good old days of 90s middle-class India, Made in Heaven takes a huge leap and shows you the affluent lives of South Delhi and its rich wedding scenes. And no, not the 'happy' weddings or the pre-wedding squabbles that go on in every family.
Note: We strongly recommend to not watch it with kids around.
Made in Heaven explores the life of two wedding planners, Tara and Karan, and their foray into the glittery world of Delhi weddings. The show bares it all — scheming, manipulations, lies, and the shallow thinking that goes into organizing these 'holy matrimonies.'
Watch Made in Heaven
5. Laakhon Mein Ek
With an IMDB rating of 8.3 out of 10, you won't be disappointed in Laakhon Mein Ek, a Netflix original. Written by Biswa Kalyan Rath, this series explores a genre that most Indians are familiar with — the IIT dream.
Akash, played by Ritvik Sahore, is a mediocre student who unfortunately has to live his father's ambition of seeing him get into IIT. And so begins the dark and aggressive take on the Indian education system and the death of a teenager's dream.
Season 2 stars none other than Shweta Tripathi playing the role of a suburban doctor, and as season 1, it's a treat to watch.
Watch Laakhon Mein Ek
6. Panchayat
TVF shows have always been known for their brilliant storytelling and excellent acting, and Panchayat is no different. If you enjoyed Tripling for its madness, you will love Panchayat for its calmness.
The message is mostly similar and that is about finding yourself. Only in this case, you have to take a tour into the hinterland of Uttar Pradesh as Abhishekh Tripathi, played by Jitendra Kumar, joins the position of a clerk in the village panchayat. And from there, begins the story of hinterland existence and the daily struggle.
The story is slow-moving, but not that slow to bore you down. And the best part is that the social message is subtle and doesn't push it on your face.
Jitendra Kumar is joined by a brilliant case comprised of Raghuvir Yadav, Neena Gupta, Faisal Malik, and Chandan Roy.
6. Bard of Blood
Streaming Partner: Netflix
This one is based on an infamous Indian fictional spy thriller by the same name. Starring none other than Emraan Hashmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Shishir Sharma, it really brings the heat on as Kabir Anand, an intelligence officer is charged with rescuing his fellow agents from the Taliban.
If you must know, Bard of Blood is based on a book by the same name by Bilal Siddiqi.
Watch Bard of Blood
8. Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega
You must have obviously received phonecalls (AKA scam calls) promising a free trip to Goa or a new car if you just divulge your bank details. Well, that is what is Jamtara all about.
Sunny is a teenager in the sleepy town of Jamtara, Jharkhand where he manages to scam people using various phishing techniques. If you thought that this hair-rising series was about how he pranks people, you are seriously wrong. The whole plot revolves around what happens after the phone call.
And so begins the cat and mouse game between the scammers, police and a local leader, as the hunter becomes the hunted.
Jamtaara has just 10 episodes in the first season, and the reviews in its favor tell you the whole story.
Watch Jamtara
9. Taj Mahal 1989
This is the age of Tinder where it's simple to find love via an app or dating site. But how was it way back in the 80s? Say Hello to Taj Mahal 1989.
It will take you back to the 80s Lucknow and gives you a glimpse of love — both old and new.
The storyline is intertwined beautifully with Urdu poetry, and the color tone will make the kid in you go back to those glorious days.
If you want to watch something light-hearted, this is the one.
Watch Taj Mahal 1989
10. The Forgotten Army – Azaadi Ke Liye
Subhash Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army have found many storytellers, both in India and abroad. And The Forgotten Army – Azaadi ke Liye is one of the newest topics on this never-aging subject.
Set in pre-independent India, the plot tells you the sacrifice made by the members of this brave Indian force. It stars Sunny Kaushal, Sharvari Wagh and Tj Bhanu among others.
This one makes for a great watch if you want to get into the nationalism spirit.
Watch The Forgotten Army
11. The Family Man
The Family Man is an engaging spy thriller that shows a middle-class government agent tackle the job of an intelligence officer and a family man. Starring none other than the brilliant duo of Manoj Bajpayee and Priya Mani, The Family Man comprises of just 10 episodes. So yeah, if you start it on a weekend, chances are that by Sunday night you will be able to wrap it up.
The performances are impressive as always. And the first few episodes are unexpectedly hilarious and delightful, though the show moves to serious storytelling as it progresses.
Watch The Family Man
12. She
If you stereotyped She as the Indian counterpart of You, the popular Netflix TV show, then you are totally wrong. In fact, both the series are nothing like each other.
The series starts as a woman police constable officer goes undercover to nab a drug dealer. However, she is in for a surprise as she discovers her physicality as she goes deep undercover in her honey trap.
Okay, okay, I won't say any more for you must watch it yourself to catch a glimpse of the transformational journey of Bhumi.
Coming of the stables of Imitiaz Ali, this show bundles stellar performances by the lead cast led by Aaditi Pohankar and Vijay Varma.
Watch She
13. Mirzapur and Sacred Games
Well, if you are not living under the stone, you must have heard about Mirzapur and Sacred games, two of the showstopper of Amazon Prime and Netflix, respectively. We would strongly advise you to watch it with your headphones on, if you live with your family. Both shows contain strong language, expletives, and NSFW scenes.
Watch Mirzapur
These two shows, in their respective capacity, pack all the essentials in the right quality that goes into the making of a great show. You have got adrenaline-rushing suspense and great acting followed by brilliant storytelling.
In the case of Sacred Games, it's a cat-and-mouse game between Sartaj Singh, a police officer, and Gaitonde, a gangster.
Watch Sacred Games
On the other hand, Mirzapur is more about the drama unfolding between a mafia boss, his son and the impending drama of chaos and lawlessness.
It's Binge Time!
Last but not least, if you salivate at the name of good Indian spicy food, you must surely watch all the episodes of Raja, Rasoi Aur Anya Kahaniyaan. This show showcases the rich history behind Indian food. This show, with his excellent cinematography and narration, will surely make you hungry again.
So, which of these Indian TV shows will you watch this weekend?

This is just a very rough guide. A long stride is about 1 metre. If you're short, stride out, if you're tall, an ordinary stride will suffice.
• If your lawn is 4 strides x 8 strides use the nearest guide i.e. 5x5m.
• Think how long you wish to spend mowing the lawn on each occasion.
• Consider about 40 minutes should be a maximum.
• The smaller the mower, the longer it will take to mow the lawn.
The longer it takes will result on more wear and tear on the mower and less time for you to enjoy your garden.

"Guys take that chip and they play hard on the field, they play hard to counter that vision people have of them, that lack of respect, and I think that's why we have a team full of guys that play like that," cornerback Richard Sherman said. "A team full of guys that are angry."
Mayowa has one of the most unique stories in Seattle's camp. He played at Idaho, but was far from a standout. In 45 career games,Byron Scott Jersey, Mayowa had just 68 tackles and nine sacks, not numbers that would catch the attention of many scouts. He was so far off the radar that his route to the NFL went through a regional combine last March at the Seahawks practice facility.

Few readers could imagine the joy that comes to the student of history as he or she comes upon a new discovery. Akin to all experiences as in taking a first boat ride, or a friend revealing a secret, it always comes with a feeling of exhiliration mixed with an almost lonely feeling of self-awareness, one being awe stricken by the majesty of the revelation.
It is into this majestic unknown that the researcher or historian would take upon himself to explore, unmindful of the disappointing dead-ends, but resolute if the passageway ahead opens up to more search and mystery.
We Filipinos are great storytellers. We stand by the side of the road, or grouped in clusters in a drinking bout recounting or manufacturing all kinds of stories. All agree that no time is too long or alcohol too strong for a good story. But sadly we rarely write stories for posterity.
Written history from the Filipino point of view are rare or are seldom popular which is eventually lost to memory and in turn, contributing to unbridgeable gaps in our history. This almost always results in the historian relying on a non-Filipino source with a non-Filipino point of view, the rationale being, better a foreign source than no source at all.
One can complain of colonial mentality but it cannot be helped, these foreign accounts are simply well preserved, well documented and although sometimes, too dramatic or biased to a fault. The majority of historians in the Philippines agree that the best materials about the Philippines and the Filipinos are found elsewhere other than the Philippine Islands.
Be that as it may, I believe if we start to appreciate and write our stories, specially local oral histories and eyewitness accounts, we will be doing a great service to our nation and our people, imbibing in them a sense of connection, continuity and direction.
A few days before my article came out on the almost FORGOTTEN Battle of Agdangan, a friend handed me a photocopy of a 1970 Naga Times article on the same. My said article, to say the least, was a disappointment lacking the much needed eyewitness account due to the lack, again, of written accounts from our side. I could have leaped when I saw that article. It confirmed many things, the lenght and ferocity of the engagement, the heroism of the Filipinos, even impressing the American eyewitness calling it "the hardest engagement with the native troops."
The writer was even more articulate to provide us with dates, times and accurate description of the events almost making it possible to create a reenactment.
The Article was about a letter written in 1960 to then Naga City Mayor Victorino L. Ojeda from a Dr. George R. Clements of Sebring, Florida, USA.
May I share with you the "Clements account" of the Battle of Agdangan.
"I note the changes mentioned in your letter that have occurred there since the American forces occupied that region in 1900. Also that you have no written record of the events that took place in Nueva Caceres in that distant past, save perhaps the recollection of old timers who number but a few."
"I was a member of Co. K of the 45th U.S. Volunteer regiment, which was one of the organization that operated in that area in 1900-01. We disembarked from our ship in San Miguel Bay, were landed ashore by small boats, fought our way ashore and on to Nueva Caceres, reaching N.C. on February 22, 1900. Damage to this city was saved by the Native Forces retreating to the Pauili River, about twelve miles distant, where they halted and waited for our approach."
"We left Nueva Caceres about 9:30 PM of February 24, halted south of Pili to wait for daylight, then hiked to the river where we expected opposition, but encountered none. The bridge over the river was blown up, so we had to ford it. Then we halted for breakfast, which was interrupted by a man on horse who came along the road from the south, stopped, fired at us with his rifle, then turned and fled. That was an invitation from the Native Troops to come on, as they were waiting to welcome us."
"You know how hilly and rolling the land there east of the road, and as we reached the top of the ridge, on the next to the south were the Native Troops, lined up, ready for the engagement."
"I'll never forget the sight. At the center of their line was a group of men on horses, taken by us to be their Commanding Officer and his staff. One man right on the center was on a white horse and I assumed him to be the Commanding Officer. At that moment, he flanked by his staff, started directly at us as though we were unarmed. Suddenly a rifle shot split the air. I never knew which side fired that shot. But that set off the fireworks, and about fifty of us shot at that man on the white horse, and (horse) and rider fell and rolled down the hill."
"It must have been 6:00 or 7:00 am on Sunday, February 25, when the engagement began and by 11:00 am we had pushed the Native Troops back south, over the prairie land and rolling prairie hills, to a creek back to which the timber began. After crossing the creek, and with the timber back to them, the Native Troops made a stubborn stand, in spite of the fact that we could see them falling and being hauled away in sleds drawn by carabaos. There were so many Native Troops that as fast as a rifleman fell, another rushed in, replaced him, took his gun and kept on shooting, so that no matter how many we killed or wounded, the same number of rifles were always in action against us."
"At last we got so close tho their line that we advanced by 'rushes, half our men shooting from a prone position while the rest of us rushed a few hundred yards, then fell to the ground and shot to cover the same rushing advance of the other half of our line."
"This continued till we got so close to the Native Troops that our bugler blew "Fix Bayonets abd Charge." When the Native Troops saw that long line of glittering bayonets flash in the bright sun-light, they knew what was coming then, and the Native line broke quickly and the troops fled into the woods behind them."
It was 11:00 or 12:00 am. That was our hardest engagement with the Native Troops. We rested, ate dinner and hiked on to Baao, where we spent the night, and the next morning we hiked on to Iriga where our Commanding Officer of the 45th, Col. Joseph Dorst, established his Regimental Headquarters."
I hope we see the events in Agdangan on February 25, months shy of a century ago in a different light. History has gifted the town of Baao with yet another by-line to figure prominently in Bicol history and though to a lesser extent a significant part in the Filipino-American War of which Centennial year we are currently commemorating. Let us not let it pass again into oblivion."

Q: Add successive dropdown menus with n-1 choices after a choice is selected I have a simple dropdown menu in my tabbed window using QComboBox.
def tab1UI(self):
  layout = QFormLayout()
  self.cb = QComboBox()
  self.cb.addItems(["Option1", "Option2", "Option3", "Option4", "Option5", "Option6"])
  layout.addWidget(self.cb)
  self.setTabText(0,"Search")
  self.tab1.setLayout(layout)

What I want to do is add another menu whenever an option is selected.
Say the user selects Option3. Once they do so, I want to add a menu below which no longer has option3 to choose from and has a No Selection option in its place. Successive menus will continue to be added added until the user chooses No Selection. How would I do this?

A: You could replace everything with variables to make it much easier to manipulate. Here is an example. I am not familiar with the module you are using (apparently it is QComboBox), so my code might have a few errors.
Begin code:
def tab1UI(self):
  layout = QFormLayout()
  self.cb = QComboBox()
  items=["Option1", "Option2", "Option3", "Option4", "Option5", "Option6"]
  self.cb.addItems(items)
  layout.addWidget(self.cb)
  self.setTabText(0,"Search")
  self.tab1.setLayout(layout)
  #Here you would put a way to record which option the user selects, lets say "selected"
  selected=#Option user selects
  items=items.replace(selected, "No Selection") #This replaces the selected option with "No Selection"
  #Here you would insert the new menu, I think it is this way:
  layout = QFormLayout()
  self.cb = QComboBox()
  self.cb.addItems(items)
  layout.addWidget(self.cb)
  self.setTabText(0,"Search")
  self.tab1.setLayout(layout)

Q: Java: not check for impossible state in method call I know that by the semantics of removeContract, and removeIssuer, and the design of the code (getPrice is package local so I am the one calling it), the method getPrice cannot be called with a contract or issuer of the contract that was previously removed. In a sense getPrice has the pre-condition that the contract is in the HashMap "contracts".
However, is it bad practice relying on such assumptions and not check for it? Should I add checkArgument(contracts.contains(contract)) and checkArgument(issuers.contains(issuer))?
PS: Contract and Issuer are both immutable classes.
public class Market {
  private HashMap<Integer, Contract> contracts;
  private HashMap<Integer, Issuer> issuers;

  // ...

  public Contract removeContract(Contract contract) { // ... }
  public Issuer removeIssuer(Issuer issuer) { // ... }

  double getPrice(Contract contract) {
    checkArgument(contract != null, "Contract cannot be null");

    Issuer issuer = issuers.get(contract.getIssuerId());

    return issuer.getPriceDistribution().sample();
  }

  // ...
}

I had bad experience here. Had simple wax-blocked ear. Told cost 700 baht to see Dr. No problem. Dr confirmed the obvious. After 10 mins staff member said 3000 baht to clean the ear plus extra for [unnecessary] medication. I wouldn't pay 3000 and felt totally ripped off for paying 700 for Dr to state bleeding obvious. Fixed elsewhere at half this price.


On Friday evening I arrived in Tokyo and, in a classic sweaty mess, grabbed the airport train towards Tokyo Station. Getting off at Tokyo Station was quite the introduction to Japan – people swarmed everywhere in the heat of rush hour. It was absolutely insane, and probably the most claustrophobic I've ever felt. Even on the other side of the station, up the escalator, and around the corner, everywhere was packed with people.
I'm so glad I read up a lot on Tokyo's subway system, because it's very confusing at first (although after a couple days I felt navigating it was a breeze). I somehow managed to buy a ticket and get to the station near my hostel.
The hostel, Anne Hostel Yokozuna, was really great – everything was very clean, the beds were spacious and comfy, and the bathroom was very nice and well organized. Everything was in new and perfect condition!
The dining area was also very nice – it was a large room with several long, low-to-the-ground (Asian style) tables that made it easy to meet and talk with other travelers. One really cool feature about this hostel (and it's probably also true of other hostels in Japan, although I can't say for sure), is that once you step in the door, you have to put on the foam slippers they provide. There is a shoe room you keep your shoes, and you only take your shoes out and put them on when you are leaving the hostel. I thought this was really neat, and it definitely helps keep things cleaner.
I really can't recommend this hostel enough if you're ever heading to Tokyo. It's cheap (was only $22/night when I went) and is in an amazing location, just 3 minutes walk from the Ryogoku Toei line and a 5 minute walk from the JR line. There's also tons of great restaurants within a stone's throw, plenty of little shops, and things to explore.
Starving after my trip, I asked at the front desk where I should eat and was directed to a nearby ramen place around the corner that was absolutely fantastic! Even with my Japanese limited to "konichwa" and "arigato," everyone was very friendly and kind to me in restaurants. Most places offered an English menu, so it was really pretty easy.
When I got back, and I ended up chatting with some Australians who were visiting. Man, the Australians are just everywhere, gotta love 'em. We talked about our perspective trips while the Aussies quizzed me on my Australian slang. Most of the people there were close to my age (which is nice, because sometimes hostels can be a much younger crowd) and many were traveling for a month or more! It made my two weeks seem paltry in comparison.
One of the Australians in particular had a really interesting background – he actually works as a horse breaker! He was hired by a ranch in Sapporo, Japan and they flew him out, gave him his own car, paid for his lodging, etc. (in addition to a salary). He said he's probably going to keep traveling on various horse breaking gigs for a while. Each are usually several months long. He was looking into going to Canada next for a gig there. I just think that's the coolest idea!
Two others girls I talked with had some neat backgrounds too – one is finishing her masters for social work, the other works as a bondswoman (aka a bounty hunter)! Despite our best efforts to get stories out of her, she admitted her work wasn't as glamorous as Dog the Bounty Hunter might make it seem. She said usually it's just demanding money from people. They either give to the money or they are forced to go to court later. No stun guns, no ninja stars, no roundhouse kicks. So sad.
Tomorrow is my first big day in Tokyo, I'll let you know how it goes!
P.S. Saw this in the Tokyo airport. This is how Americans are seen apparently….
Changgyeonggung Palace: First Solo Seoul Day!


Because Aubree never got an adequate birthday party, following Layne's birth, Chelsea Houska threw her daughter the celebration she deserved during the April 8 episode of 'Teen Mom 2'.
The April 8 episode of Teen Mom 2 featured a fun-filled belated birthday celebration for Aubree, and it was certainly fun to watch. Chelsea Houska's eldest daughter never had a real party due to how close baby Layne's birth came to her big day, so Chelsea made up for it by planning a family trip to one of those escape rooms. Apparently, it had been something Aubree was wanting to do, so her face lit up upon hearing that's where they'd be going. But it almost didn't happen. Aubree was acting up the night before her party, so Chelsea told her where they'd be going in an effort to correct her behavior. And fortunately for Aubree, she started behaving again, so they all went to one of those escape rooms. But despite their excitement, Chelsea's family failed to escape in time — even though it was one of the "easiest rooms" at the venue. However, they still left with huge smiles on their faces, and Aubree was super happy to have had the experience.
Meanwhile, Kailyn got a surprising call from Jo's wife Vee about their child support battle. Vee thought it'd be best for everyone to get together and talk about their issues so they could come up with a solution without things getting any worse than they already were. Kailyn thought that was a great idea, so she agreed to meet with them, but she also asked Chris Lopez to go with her. And once at the meeting, Kailyn learned that Jo recently started a real estate business, which is why he hasn't had much money. Kailyn agreed to pay back the amount of child support he paid her after she said she'd stop taking money from him, but she also walked away from the meeting worried that Jo would still come after her for more money in the future. So while things appeared to have gotten resolved, Kailyn lost a lot of trust in Jo over this issue.
Later, Nathan and Jenelle went back to court for their ongoing custody battle over Kaiser. Nathan wants full custody, which Jenelle thinks is ridiculous, and Nathan's mom also applied to be a mediator who could help them with their co-parenting. And to the surprise of everyone involved, a judge actually agreed to let Doris act as the former couple's mediator, so it looks like Jenelle and Nathan will have to communicate with her about trade-offs of Kaiser and other related situations.
And finally, Leah and her daughters planned to move back into their house after the storm damage was fixed, while Brianna set up another visit between Stella and Luis.
