Trinity swimmers create club history
The Trinity Lismore swimming team. Contributed

1st Dec 2016 7:00 AM
TRINITY Lismore swimmers are busy preparing for the Queensland State Championships next week.
A team of 19 will compete at the week-long event, with most of them achieving some impressive results in the lead-up at the North Coast Swimming Championships at Coffs Harbour.
The championships are the pinnacle swimming competition of the area, with many Australian swimming championship competitors in attendance.
It was a hotly contested competition with every club vying for the prestigious North Coast Champion Club Shield.
No club had ever won both the North Coast Short Championship and the North Coast Long Course Championship shields in the history of North Coast swimming.
Trinity created history winning the short course shield and the Long Course Championship shield, finishing more than 300 points clear of second-placed Port Macquarie in the longer distance
On their way to winning both shields, Trinity Lismore swimmers achieved outstanding results.
Swimmers have now qualified for the Australian Championships, with 16-year-old Jack Hoskin set to represent the club in 100m and 200m breaststroke.
There were 14 records broken by Trinity swimmers, with Alex McKenna also qualifying for the Australian Championships in breaststroke.
Jemma Cooper won the open girls distance trophy as well as the open girls champion trophy.
Jemma was presented with the champion trophy from the short course championships while Else Cooper won the 15-year girls trophy.
Meanwhile, Aiden Jensen won the very sought after Tim Mullens Reach For The Stars shield for the fastest 13-year-old male in 100m freestyle setting a new record.
The under-14 relay team also broke the record, which was set in 2013 by Trinity.
"We are lucky as we develop our swimmers with the right technique, starting from our learn to swim program which then carries right through to our senior squads," coach Ken Malcolm said.
"The swimmers are all friends and the team look after each other with great sportsmanship.
"Although they race each other they are vey proud of each others achievements. The coaching is second to none and all staff are very proud of each and every swimmer."
Any inquiries to join Trinity Swimming Club can be made to Wendy Johnson on 0266276610.

I been saying this for decades…..well, since digital came into my life and photography studio. And completely transformed EVERYTHING….for the better.
If you want to get gooder at photography, at seeing the light, mastering composition, predicting moments and honing your skills, get a small point and shoot camera.
And bring it with you everywhere. Go on adventures. Challenge yourself. PUSH the boundaries.
It's like when you see those rock bands traveling on a bus and they have a little baby amp, and they're playing, practising, honing.
Same idea. BU'cept it's music.
Same idea. BU'cept it's light. And all things visual.
The benefits are huge. And it's a whole heap of fun. Try it.
P.S. CELL PHONES DON'T COUNT…..trust me on this one. Yes, some will create decent images with their phones.
But, for most of us'em mere mortals, the INTENT goes away.
She was barely 1.5 years old.
Way before she developed a sense of dignity and shame.
We were out on a Sunday family drive…and ended up hours away from home.
I had my camera and some black and white film.
Always shooting. I bring a camera with me always, everywhere.
I strip my babies close off and tell her to go check out the church……she runs to the huge wooden doors and tries to open them.
That was the moment I wanted. I grabbed a few exposures of the exposed little one, and eventually entered it into competition.
I titled it "Knocking on heaven's door".
There are two big lessons for you. One, always be shooting, even if you only bring a point and shoot camera with you.
School is never out for the pro.
It's a good thing to constantly hone your skills.
And two, awards don't amount to a hill of beans unless you like collecting trophies and ribbons.
Seriously. That was a "grab shot".
Does not reflect what I create, for profit, day to day, in my photography business.
Fun, yes. Great to get recognition and feathers for my cap from my peers. Yea….all good.
Sure, there is some publicity value in awards.
But it is miniscule when compared to the true power of publicity and what it can do for you and your photography business.
Publicity is the very root of branding and market position. It's HUGE….
I created and gave an intensive presentation on this topic and created an extensive report on publicity as well.
It is yours, and so is the equivalent of the library of congress on marketing for photographers, in my marketing system I created.
I can show you how to maximize publicity for maximum profits and maximum long term growth and market position…..
There is NO better place and time on earth.
Breezing down the highway on my two wheels. The smell of forest, grass, flowers and diesel exhaust from the trucks blowing by me.
Fun. Me loves my motorcycle.
Oh, let's not forget….the occasional bug zipping into my mouth or blasting into oblivion onto my cheek.
Stings. Ouch. Keep it real.
Yes, fun. Loads of it. Nothing better for the soul.
A friend who I haven't seen in a while contacted me to go for a ride.
Guys do that when they own motorcycles. They just go for "a ride". No where really.
We breezed by the local Tim Hortons earlier as we headed out of the city.
The parking lot starting to fill up with Harleys. Some guys like to park their bikes in the parking lot, stand around and talk while getting fat on donuts.
Not I. I'm way too anti-social. I like to get out there. The open road is calling me.
It's relaxing. Exciting. No agenda. Just go…..pure zen!
Ain't no zen standing in the parking lot eating donuts drinking coffee.
As were riding along, I double duty multi-task, keeping a close eye for anything that might hop out into the road and I also let my mind drift into creative thought.
I get some weird ones. You don't wanna know.
One thought popped into my head. Being chased by a giant T- Rex….
"How was your ride" Tina would ask when I returned later.
I come up with these ideas because I like to ask weird, deep probing questions.
And then another image pops into my head. One I saw not so long ago on FlakeBook… where there was a T-Rex chasing a bridal party.
"Hmmm, maybe I should swipe that idea…" I thought.
And then I started thinking about work.
Dam! It always reverts back to work. But I'm getting better at pushing those thoughts aside.
I was thinking about the current wedding I was working on and how I had to get on it. I'm falling behind.
I push the thought aside. I feel better because I make a commitment right there to put in 30 minutes later on that night, which I do.
And I go buy a stock image of a T-Rex. And I place it on one of my bridal party running shots I routinely take on just about every wedding.
Is it flaky? Who knows? I'll let the bride decide. She gets the big vote.
Personally, I think it's a fun, quick smile trend. Not going to last. Not going to get too excite about too many trends.
In weddings, there is only ONE real solid idea that works. One trend….
Here it is: Capture the heart and soul, the story of the wedding day using the best in composition, documentation, light, timing, your creative eye.
It's not about anything else. Not the equipment, cool off camera flash techniques or anything other than your ability to create images that resonate.
And here's a really cool secret. It's very, very simple.
But so is a musical scale when you think about it. And look what the likes of Rachmaninoff created with musical scales.
Simple, yes. Creatively complex. Yessirreebob….
But achievable for the dedicated.
It's why I created my wedding success system and so many other videos from the likes of Vanessa Joy…. For the serious "Rachmaninoff" photographer in you who wants to totally crush their wedding photography.
Meanwhile, may you find your zen like state where images of being chased by T-Rex's join all your other thoughts….
P.P.S. Also, last month, Travis Gadsby gave us some cool insider secrets and strategies… "Maximizing your online presence with software that does the heavy lifting." In the forum HERE.

"Well, we've missed a couple of walkthroughs and one we had at the hotel, just short yardage goal line, which was OK. And then, yesterday's we got half of it in we missed the two-minute portion. So, we're ok where we're at. I'm going to extend practice today, I might add a walkthrough at the end to make up for what we missed out yesterday, so, we are on pace to get everything in."
"Josh Norman is having a fine camp, John, thank you for asking. He's doing great. Yes. And, if he wasn't doing great, do you think I'd say so? No, no, he is doing good. He is doing good. I think he is more comfortable all the way around, you know, he has established himself, he is clear-cut, you know, top corner in this league for a number of years now. So, he just consistently works on his craft. He studies the game, works hard at practice, takes all the reps, doesn't come out. I haven't seen him miss a practice rep in a long time so, hat's off to him for the work he puts into the game."
"Yeah, it means a lot. Both of those guys are great leaders like you say and work extremely hard and great role models for the younger players. However, the younger players that we have don't need a whole lot of tutelage. You know, I think Matt Ioannidis works harder himself. Jonathan Allen is an extreme hard worker. If you see Daron Payne work out, it's almost comical. So, I love the leadership of those two guys but I love the whole entire defensive linemen room as far as their work ethic is concerned."
"I think I am pretty much a genius because if I kept it in the afternoon we'd have to miss a lot of practice because of the rain, right. That was the other part of it. We wanted to miss the afternoon rain showers and lightning. But, you know, I think it's still a process here. These guys, I think, come in after, you know, five and a half weeks off, and you'd like to think they're training but football shape and offseason workouts with their personal trainer are a little bit different. So you're still going to have some dehydration issues because they're not playing in this heat, which we've had. But we have had - you know it's hard to gauge. I don't know if we've had improvement in the recovery process or not, but I'd like to think we've had. But we still have our issues—pulled hamstrings. We've had a calf. We've had a couple other dehydration issues. We've had some IVs. So those issues still will arise. We just try to educate them as best we can and tell them the importance of rest, sleep and hydration."
"Jack has been very good. He works extremely hard and you know he worked for my brother [Jon Gruden, Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders] a couple of years, did a great job as far as film breakdown and working as part of a scout and eventually maybe he wants to get in that role, I don't know. But, as far as him taking his job, he's done a great job. I don't see a whole lot of him, you're right, except when he wants money (laughter)."
"Trent Williams would probably be a doubtful. I mean, I don't think he's ready to go. He's ready to go but, he doesn't need to go. You just watch him play and he just - he needs work - there's no doubt about it, don't get me wrong every football player needs to practice. But, if there was one football player that probably didn't need to practice it'd be Trent, you know, he just came out here and just effortlessly, he got beat on the inside, moved spun around, 360 [degrees], got in position, blocked the guy. He's just a great talent, physical freak. But, he will get some work; he'll get some reps, hopefully in the third preseason game, maybe get a series or two and then get ready for Chandler Jones (Arizona Cardinals DE) and the Arizona Cardinals."
"Oh yeah you're right, you know that's something you just have to listen to your trainers and the team doctors. That's why we have physicals and every team goes through a physical process and they give you, you know, a best case scenario on whether or not they think he can play long term and everything we had on his knee checked out that he could recover from that thing. Love his natural instincts at the linebacker position watching him on tape, his physicality, but it was matter of in that round I think the risk-reward there was well worth the risk and I think we got a good player because of it."
"Well I think the good thing about Orlando is while we're feeling our way through [Quinton] Dunbar and [Fabian] Moreau, he can play the starting corner and base and sub, obviously he's a slot. He's a very good slot he's a nuisance player, he's very, got a great head for the game, seeing every situation, every route concept known to man, so he's a great nickel without a doubt. That's when we lost Kendal Fuller, we needed to get another nickel, a proven nickel, he's that, but he can also play outside as Dunbar and Moreau improve and earn a starting spot."
"Yeah that's a good point, I think the live session we had the other day was good. We got some live work and then obviously playing against the Jets will give us another opportunity to do some work. So the game Thursday night that could have a bearing on who I play and how much they play, so I know were going to get plenty of work. After Thursday's game, whether some guys get work or not, we're gonna have plenty of time to get more work against the Jets and then three more preseason games. Most important for me, I think we have some position battles that are worth letting these guys getting as many reps as possible in game like situations and see how they do."
"Yeah there's no doubt, you know every time you take a rep out here in a live setting you have Preston Smith or Ryan Kerrigan, yes, it's going to be a physical down, you know. You're running, blocking, you're trying to come off to the linebacker and people's feet get tangled up, there's a risk on every rep that we take so yes there is a--it is worth maybe resting him, and taking care of him in that regard but also he needs that coming off the ball. Pad level, getting up to the next level, communicating with the guard on the pass protection, pass sets are all different, quick game and play action game and all that stuff. You just got to get back in a rhythm snap count, listen to Alex [Smith]. So he does need to work, but there is a fine line in trying to keep him healthy and taking care of him. I haven't figured that one out yet."
"Yeah, he's going to try to do some individual today and we'll see how he is. He should be fine, it was a minor sprain."
"I think every one of them has something going on, you know running back obviously, there's a lot going on there. Fullback we gotta obviously see if we want to you know make that commitment to a fullback. Wide receiver, you know four, five, six, seven (depth chart). There's a great battle there. Inside linebacker, three, four, five, six, there's a great battle there. Safety, three, four, five, inside backer, I said outside backer three, four, five. I mean there's defensive lineman, everyone there's battles going on. And the thing is what you think you know already - okay this guy has no chance and then all of a sudden preseason game he lights it up, then all of a sudden boom he's in the mix also. So, you need more reps for him, so a lot still going to happen. When the games kickoff, the crème will rise to the top and that's what we have to see, we have to give them opportunities and make the plays and let them showcase their skills."
"No, you know, I think it's obviously - it's incredible what they've been able to do with consistency. Winning division, going to Super Bowls, winning Super Bowls, you know, it's something that we all strive to do. Here in D.C. that's what we have to get back to. You know, it was like that here at one time for a period of years and it's tough to maintain, we know that. It's tough to get to that point, but that's what we are all working towards. They have done an excellent job with their personnel and keeping their quarterback [Tom Brady] and their head coach [Bill Belichick] and they have seemed to make it work every year."

Q: GDB M/I disable hardware watchpoints Is there a way to disable hardware watchpoints in GDB/MI?
It's possible using the console interface with the following command:
set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0

A: Anything that can be done from the CLI can also be done via MI.
One simple, generic way is to just send the CLI command.  MI will understand this.  So, your MI client can just send set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0.
However, for the specific case of set, you can use the MI -gdb-set command.

CLARKS SUMMIT, Pa. -- Just hours after US Attorney General William Barr released his summary on the Mueller investigation, former Pennsylvania Attorney General Ernie Preate says he is happy to see parts of the investigation becoming public.
Preate worked alongside both Barr and Special Counsel Robert Mueller for many years, and while some people may question the validity of the investigation, he says he is confident in the special counsel's work.
"I think he's done a tremendous job of looking at the evidence and coming to conclusions and trying to heal the divide that's in our country," Preate said.
Preate worked with Mueller and Barr back in the early '90s when Preate was on a national committee of attorneys general.
But after over 600 days of investigative work, Preate does not believe the American people will ever see the entire report.
"There's some classified information that might be in there that might affect some national security, so there's a lot of things that have to be screened before you release a document to the public."
Some are still hopeful they will get some insight into almost two years of work by the special counsel's office.
"It's taken a while to complete, and you can speculate what's in the report, but no one has seen the whole report yet," said Howard Grossman of Pittston.
Others are just happy this part is over.
"I really don't read too much into that anymore because I'm just tired of seeing it everywhere," said Douglas Smash of Exeter.
Democrats running for president in 2020 have already called for Attorney General Barr, who was appointed by President Trump, to make the investigation public, but there is no word when or if we will see any more than what has been released.

Алекса́ндровский дворе́ц (устар. Новый Царскосельский дворец) — один из императорских дворцов Царского Села (ныне город Пушкин). Построен в стиле палладианского классицизма в 1792—1796 годах, по распоряжению императрицы Екатерины II в подарок к бракосочетанию её внука, великого князя Александра Павловича. Проект дворца составил Джакомо Кваренги, строительство велось под руководством архитекторов И. В. Неелова и П. В. Неелова.

Дворец находится в Александровском парке и представляет собой вытянутое в длину двухэтажное здание с двойными флигелями по сторонам. В центре главного северного фасада два ряда колонн составляют сквозную колоннаду коринфского ордера. Со стороны регулярной части Александровского парка фасад здания решен в виде полуротонды, перекрытой сферическим куполом.

В начале XX века при императоре Николае II Александровский дворец стал основной резиденцией императорской фамилии и средоточием придворной жизни: здесь принимались послы, праздновались 300-летие дома Романовых и 200-летие Царского Села.

История
Екатерина II  повелела:

Внутренняя отделка дворца была выполнена в 1794—1795 годах. Росписи плафонов в внутренних помещениях были выполнены Джакомо Феррари. В 1800 году была выполнена внешняя отделка фасадов. В 1838 году перед колоннадой дворца были установлены скульптуры — «Юноша, играющий в бабки» (по модели Н. С. Пименова), «Юноша, играющий в свайку» (по модели А. В. Логановского).

Залы парадной анфилады, облицованные белым искусственным мрамором, располагались по садовому фасаду дворца. В центре анфилады располагался зал с полуротондой, разделённый на три части широкими арками. Средняя часть помещения получила название Полукруглого зала, с восточной стороны — Портретного зала, к которому примыкал Зал с горкой, с западной — Бильярдного (или Малиновой гостиной). Крыло с левой стороны дворца занимала Угловая гостиная, соединённая с библиотечными комнатами, крыло с правой стороны — дворцовая церковь. В левом флигеле дворца располагались «Концертный зал», непосредственно примыкающий к Угловой гостиной, и ряд жилых комнат. Исторические интерьеры помещений первого этажа левого флигеля дворца первоначально предназначались для императорской свиты.

Чугунная ограда-решётка была изготовлена на Александровском литейном заводе в Петрозаводске.

  великий князь Александр Павлович с супругой въехал в Новый дворец.

Император Николай I также любил бывать в Александровском дворце. Здесь он часто бывал со своей семьёй и родственниками. Именно здесь скончалась его вдова, императрица Александра Фёдоровна. Для внука Николая I, великого князя Александра Александровича, будущего императора Александра III, Александровский дворец был великокняжеской резиденцией. Его апартаменты располагались в правом крыле дворца.

С восшествием на престол Николая II Александровский дворец стал перестраиваться. В частности, перестройки 1896—1898 годов уничтожили свитскую половину: на её месте появились личные апартаменты императора Николая II и императрицы Александры Фёдоровны. В левой анфиладе — Спальня, Сиреневый кабинет и Палисандровая гостиная императрицы, в правой — Столовая (Приёмная Николая II), Рабочий кабинет, Уборная императора и другие служебные помещения. В 1903 году был уничтожен Концертный зал Дж. Кваренги, занимавший всю ширину левого корпуса. Архитектор С. Данини предлагал несколько вариантов приспособления корпуса под жилые и парадные покои для императорской семьи. В одном из проектов 1901 года он предусматривал сохранение Концертного зала, однако в ходе работ, выполненных фирмой Ф. Мельцера по проектам Р. Мельцера в 1903—1906 годах, Концертный зал был уничтожен, и на его месте в первом этаже левого флигеля Александровского дворца появились Кленовая гостиная Александры Фёдоровны и Парадный (Новый) кабинет императора Николая II , а во втором — комнаты детской половины; коридор, разделяющий личные апартаменты императора и императрицы, был продлён до Угловой гостиной. Также под правой половиной открытого дворика был устроен подвал и в цоколе колоннады прибиты окна для его освещения.

После революции 1905 года Александровский дворец становится главной резиденцией императора Николая II, родившегося в Царском Селе. В этом дворце прошли 12 лет царствования последнего российского императора и его семьи. Здесь семья находилась под арестом после Февральской революции. Утром а из Полукруглого зала этого дворца царская семья Романовых была отправлена на станцию Александровская в тобольскую ссылку, откуда затем они были переправлены в Екатеринбург, где летом 1918 года расстреляны.

После революции
В 1918 году Александровский дворец был открыт для посетителей как государственный музей. Экспозиция включала исторические интерьеры на первом этаже в центральной части здания и жилые апартаменты семьи Романовых в правом флигеле дворца. В 1918 году по инициативе наркома просвещения А. В. Луначарского на базе дворца был создан Детский дом имени Юных Коммунаров. К его организации Луначарский привлёк свою супругу, которой для этих целей была отведена комнатка на антресолях дворца. Утверждения о том, что она якобы там поселилась, не имеют под собой оснований, поскольку, по свидетельству К. Чуковского, Анна Александровна с сыном по приезде в Петроград поселились в квартире, где жил сам Луначарский, «в доме Армии и Флота — в паршивенькой квартирке — наискосок от дома Мурузи, по гнусной лестнице».

Восстановление исторического облика
6 ноября 1937 года хранителем дворца стал искусствовед А. М. Кучумов. В марте 1938-го он стал директором. К тому времени дворец сильно обветшал, к тому же в его левом корпусе располагался дом отдыха сотрудников НКВД, а на втором этаже правого крыла, где ранее располагались комнаты детей Николая II — детский дом. Музейные залы сохранились лишь в центральном корпусе. Кучумов решил восстановить исторический облик дворца, создав в нём мемориальный музей последнего русского императора и его семьи. Несмотря на уговоры коллег, Кучумов решил искать поддержки у И. В. Сталина, написав ему личное письмо. Сталин идею одобрил. Началась реставрация и восстановление облика дворца. Они были нарушены Великой Отечественной войной.

Эвакуация коллекций целиком была невозможна, приходилось вывозить лишь самые ценные предметы и те, которые могли служить образцами при восстановлении убранства. Планом предусматривалась эвакуация только 12 предметов из коллекции дворца. Кучумов в течение недели организовал упаковку 800 предметов, включая люстры, ковры, фарфор, мебель и произведения из мрамора. Но всё вывезти было невозможно, поэтому, предвидя разграбление музея, Кучумов прошёл по залам дворца и сфотографировал их убранство, а также вырезал кусочки штофной обивки стен, мебели, портьер, вклеил всё это в альбомы, которые хранил у себя до самой смерти. Впоследствии они помогли восстановить убранство дворца.

30 июня предназначенные для эвакуации ценности дворца были погружены в эшелон, ответственным сопровождающим которого был назначен А. М. Кучумов.

Военные потери и возрождение
Во время оккупации города Пушкина в Александровском дворце размещался немецкий штаб и гестапо, в подвалах — тюрьма; площадь перед дворцом была превращена в кладбище солдат СС.

По окончании войны во дворце располагалось Центральное хранилище музейных фондов пригородов Ленинграда (ЦХМФ), которое возглавил А. М. Кучумов. Он же руководил правительственными комиссиями по розыску похищенных германскими оккупантами сокровищ, в результате деятельности которых удалось вернуть в Александровский дворец 1542 экспоната.

Затем дворец был законсервирован и в 1946 году отдан Академии наук СССР для хранения коллекций Института русской литературы и размещения экспозиции Всесоюзного музея А. С. Пушкина. В связи с этим в 1947—1951 годах во дворце начались восстановительные работы, в ходе которых планировалось реставрировать сохранившиеся интерьеры Д. Кваренги и уцелевшие фрагменты убранства, а также воссоздать интерьеры времени императоров Николая I и Николая II. Однако во время работ многие элементы отделки Кленовой и Палисандровой гостиных императрицы Александры Фёдоровны, а также Уборной (Мавританской) Николая II были уничтожены. Эти залы дворца восстанавливались по проекту архитектора Л. М. Безверхнего (1908—1963) «согласно архитектурным нормам периода Кваренги и Пушкина».

В 1951 году постановлением правительства Александровский дворец был передан Военно-морскому ведомству, а дворцовая коллекция, находившаяся в составе эвакуированных предметов в Центральном хранилище музейных фондов пригородных дворцов-музеев, поступила в Павловский дворец-музей.

В 1996 году на реставрацию Александровского дворца был получен грант Всемирного фонда памятников (WMF) и начались работы по ремонту кровли здания. Ещё через год по инициативе военного института, занимающего дворец, в правом крыле здания, где прежде находились личные апартаменты Николая II и Александры Фёдоровны, была создана постоянная экспозиция «Воспоминания в Александровском дворце», подготовленная музеем-заповедником «Царское Село» из предметов музейного собрания. На этой выставке в частично сохранившихся исторических интерьерах и залах, утративших художественную отделку во время войны, представлены предметы убранства апартаментов и личные вещи последнего русского императора и его семьи.

В октябре 2009 согласно распоряжению Росимущества здание дворца было передано на праве оперативного управления Государственному музею-заповеднику «Царское Село». С этого времени начались масштабные работы по реставрации фасадов и интерьеров Александровского дворца.

Реставрация
В 1947—1949 годах произведена реставрация фасадов и парадных залов, росписей. К 1997 году левое крыло дворца было частично отреставрировано и превращено в экспозицию «Воспоминания в Александровском дворце», повествующую о жизни последней царской семьи. В работе нуждается весь фасад дворца, постепенно планируется дополнить выставку и правым крылом, пока закрытым. В числе анонсированных восьми залов первого флигеля Александровского дворца, полностью закрытого на реставрацию в 2015 году, – личные покои императрицы Александры Федоровны и императора Николая II, включая знаменитую Мавританскую уборную, в 1918 году возмутившую первых экскурсантов из числа пролетариата. Интерьеры было решено воссоздавать на 1905 год, когда Александровский дворец стал главной императорской резиденцией.

23 июня 2010 г. состоялось торжественное открытие трёх парадных залов, расположенных в центральной части дворца: Портретного, Полукруглого и Мраморного. Их реставрация была осуществлена в рекордно короткие сроки — всего за полгода. Среди прочих подлинных предметов музею был возвращён считавшийся утраченным портрет императрицы Александры Фёдоровны.

Официальный «проект реставрационных работ», реализуемый со 2-й половины 2010 года, привёл к грубой перестройке и уничтожению подлинных конструкций здания — кирпичных и каменных, что несовместимо с принципами научной реставрации.

Интерьеры дворца
Помещения первого этажа левого флигеля дворца первоначально предназначались для императорской свиты; в XIX веке они использовались как запасные комнаты для временного пребывания императорской семьи; здесь часто жил великий князь Константин Николаевич и его супруга Александра Иосифовна. В 1870 году здесь останавливался герцог Эдинбургский и великая княгиня Мария Александровна.

В настоящее время из десяти личных интерьеров последних венценосных владельцев дворца только в трёх помещениях частично сохранилась внутренняя отделка и фрагментарно воссоздано убранство.

A Reagent is defined as a "substance or compound that is added to a system in order to bring about a chemical reaction or is added to see if a reaction occurs". Such a reaction is used to confirm the presence of another substance. Examples of such analytical reagents include Fehling's reagent, Millon's reagent and Tollens' reagent. In organic chemistry, reagents are compounds or mixtures, usually composed of inorganic or small organic molecules that are used to affect a transformation on an organic substrate. Examples of organic reagents include the Collins reagent, Fenton's reagent, and Grignard reagent.


Have you ever noticed all of the different patterns at Reynolda House? In our June Family First Workshop, we explored repeated patterns and irregular designs found in the architecture and furnishings in the house. Then, the participants created their own designs by making paste paper.
What kinds of patterns can you find in your house? Families at the June workshop noticed patterns in the molding of several rooms in Reynolda House. They spied repeated designs in the carpets and some of the curtains. They noted the pattern of floor tiles on the Sun Porch. They observed carved patterns in some of the furniture. Even the wooden grates in the ceiling that help direct the sound of the organ have a fun crisscross pattern. Can you find them in this historic image of the Reception Hall?
Then, in the studio, I demonstrated different tools and techniques for creating patterns with colorful paste and participants started experimenting on their own.
Paste paper made during the workshop. Can you spot the triangle pattern in the window?
Inspired to create your own paste paper? Download the activity guide below for materials, instructions for how to create the paste, and for suggestions of tools and other resources.
Step 1: Begin with a smooth washable surface. If you don't have access to a sheet of safety glass or Plexiglas, work on a surface covered with newspaper.
Step 2: With a sponge and clean water, dampen both sides of a piece of paper.
Step 3: With a wide brush, brush paste mixture onto the paper.
Step 4: Smooth out brush strokes (or use bristles to create a textured pattern).
Step 5: Use a tool to create a pattern. Here, I scraped a credit card with cut teeth in a circle. The teeth made grooves in the paste and revealed the paper beneath.
Step 6: I didn't like the way the first row looked, so I painted over it then again used the credit card tool. Next, I added drops of pink paste and ran a tool through them in two directions.
Step 7: Remove paper to dry on newspaper or a drying rack. Then, with your sponge, wipe off the surface and make another piece of paper. Note: You can paint one color on paper, let it dry, then create another pattern on top by painting a second color.
Step 8: After the paper has dried, you can use it to create a book cover, wrap a present, cut it up and use it for collage.

Biz Markie – "Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend"
Bong Mines Entertainment
Hip Hop, Music, Rap
Biz Markie is a legendary rapper. Not too long ag0, he released "Just a Friend", a critically-acclaimed platinum-selling lead single from his gold-selling "The Biz Never Sleeps" album. The project was released in 1989 via Cold Chillin'/Warner Bros. Records.
"'Just a Friend' is a groupie love song gone wrong. Also, if Sun Tzu had a book called The Art of Love & Relationship, Just a Friend's evergreen message would appear in chapter one."
'Just a Friend' starts with Biz Markie asking an interesting question. Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date, but a year to make love she wanted you to wait?
We don't know about y'all, but we have been in that situation before. With females who juggling 2 or more men at the same time. But, our hearts wouldn't have been broken, if we had listened to what Biz Markie was trying to tell us.
Shortly after asking his intriguing question, Biz Markie tells us about blah-blah-blah, a woman he meets while on tour at a concert.
They end up taking a photo together, and then they have a conversation. Biz is feeling her and she's feeling him. Love is in the air, 'ahem', we meant to say lust is in the air.
Biz asks, "Do you have a man?" This is where things get interesting. Lying and deceiving blah-blah-blah answers, "No I don't, I only have a friend."
A blatant RED FLAG! * Always remember what Biz said, "Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend."
Biz Markie believes everything that blah-blah-blah is saying. So much that he stated, "Everything sounded so dandy and sweet, I had no idea I was in for a treat."
Biz gets more familiar with blah-blah-blah and starts planning for their future. But when his tour is over, she goes back to school.
Biz calls her every day to see how she is doing. Then one day, when he called, a guy picks up and hangs up the phone.
Biz calls back and asked blah-blah-blah, "Yo, who was that?". She replies, "Oh, he's just a friend." But Biz isn't haven't any of that. With his future in turmoil, he decides to pay blah-blah-blah a surprise visit.
Later, he arrives at her dormitory, and he is shocked to see what he sees when he opens her door.
"Oh, snap! Guess what I saw? A fella tongue-kissing my girl in the mouth, I was so in shock my heart went down south. So please listen to the message that I say, don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend." – Markie
FUN FACT: Biz Markie is a freestyle rhymer and his fondness for goofy humor got him labeled 'The Clown Prince of Hip Hop'.

COLLEGES: Albertus Magnus wins GNAC opener
Published 12:00 am EST, Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Darius Watson scored 22 points and the top-seeded Albertus Magnus men's basketball team won its 20th-straight game, defeating Emerson 82-58 in the first round of the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Tournament Tuesday night at New Haven.
Tonight's quarterfinal win improves the Falcons record to 25-1 on the year as Watson shot 9-of-14 from the field, including a 4-of-8 clip from behind the arc. Albertus will now host Lasell on Thursday night in a 7 p.m. semifinal match-up. Lasell defeated Emmanuel 80-73 on Tuesday to advance to the semifinals.
The Falcons, who finished 18-0 in GNAC play, became the first-ever GNAC men's basketball program to go undefeated in conference play during the regular season. The Falcons' 20th-straight victory and their 25th overall marked the 11th time this season that they have defeated their opponent by 20 points or more.
Four Falcons registered double figures in tonight's contest as Jefferson Lora scored 17 points and had eight rebounds and four blocked shots. Ray Askew added 13 points, four assists and eight rebounds, while Arshad Jackson had 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting.
Emerson was led by Nathan Firn as he scored 16 points on 5-of-14 shooting from the floor. The Lions' overall record falls to 7-19 with the loss.
Watson's 22-point effort marked the sophomore's 14th game this season with 20 or more points. With 2,223 career points, Askew is now just 11 shy of the Albertus Magnus men's basketball record of 2,234 held by Tim Russell (2005).


I am one of those people who get something in their head and will stop at nothing to figure it out. Example, these macarons. I have made many French macarons in the past, but about every other time I would make them, something would go wrong. They would either crack, be too bumpy, or would just fall apart.
Then I stumbled across the Laudrée macaron recipe and I felt like my prayers had been answered! Of course this recipe would produce perfect macarons every time, right? Well, not quite. The secret is that you have to follow the recipe exactly. Who knew?
The first time I made the recipe they tasted great, but were just too bumpy. They are certainly not smooth and glossy like Ladurée's. Turns out that I missed a key step in the process: adding in extra egg white after the batter has been mixed.
The next time, I made sure to get all my measurements just right and follow the steps exactly….and they turned out perfectly! To make sure that it wasn't a fluke, I tried it again. Once again, perfect macarons!
I could walk you through the whole process of making the Ladurée macaron recipe, but honestly, it's kind of complicated. I thought it would just be better to show you! So I made a video that shows you, start to finish, how I made them. After the video, I will share with you some of the key steps that I have learned over a couple years of making macarons.
Weigh your ingredients. Weighing them ensures that your recipe is exactly the same every time.
Use "aged" eggs. I let my eggs sit out over night. Not only is it easier to separate room temperature eggs, but they make a better meringue.
Wipe down your mixing bowl with vinegar. The vinegar removes any fate deposits from the bowl which could prevent you from getting that perfect meringue.
Add sugar in stages. When whipping up the meringue, it's best to add the sugar in stages to make a more stable meringue.
Don't over whip the eggs. My issue with previous recipes was that I beat my eggs until they were too stiff which caused them to crack. This recipe tells you to just whip the eggs for one minute between each addition of sugar.
Don't under mix the batter. Another issue I had was that I didn't want to over-mix the batter, so I ended up under-mixing it. That made the macarons too grainy and chewy.
That's it! I promise that if you follow this recipe exactly, you will have perfect macarons every time.
I will also add that I only made a third of the recipe (well, roughly a third….I measured around only using 2 eggs), which yields about 12 macarons. The full recipe calls for half a dozen eggs, and I didn't want to waste all those eggs on trial and error. I will share the full recipe in the recipe box below, but also give you my measurements if you only want to 12 macarons instead of 36.
Of course, to me, the best part of a macaron is the filling! I filled mine with white chocolate ganache and raspberry jam. But you could also fill it with buttercream, lemon curd, Nutella, or any number of your favorite spreads, jams, or frostings. The world is your oyster-shaped macaron!
And if you are curious how I got the marbled tops, visit this post where I show you exactly how to make marbled cookies (and macarons)!
In a food processor, process almond flour and confectioner sugar together until it forms a fine powder. Sift into a bowl to remove any lumps or large pieces. Set aside.
In a clean bowl, whisk 6 egg whites into a foam. Once frothy, add a third of the granulated sugar and cream of tartar. Continue to whisk until egg whites turn opaque, about 1 minute. Add half of the remaining granulated sugar and continue to whip until soft peaks form, about 1 more minute. Add the rest of the granulated sugar and whisk for one more minute.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until no large clumps of almond flour remain.
In a separate bowl, whisk the 1/2 egg white until barely frothy, then add to the rest of the batter. Fold in gently and continue to fold until batter falls in a thick steady stream when you lift up the spatula.
Pour batter into a piping bag fitted with a plain round piping tip. On a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat, pipe small circles about 1 to 2 inches apart. Gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
Let the baking sheet sit out on counter for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300 degrees. When macarons are no longer tacky to the touch, place them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
When macarons have been removed from the oven, let sit on the counter for about 2 minutes. Spray small amounts of water between the parchment and the baking sheet to form a steam that will help loosen the macarons from the parchment.
Once removed from parchment, let cool on a rack. Fill with any filling of choice.

Soaring Rents Are Finally Driving Tech Workers Out of San Francisco
By Denver Nicks

With a median monthly rent of more than $4,500, San Francisco appears to be officially shedding tech workers, who are leaving the city for locales with lower cost of living and may be taking their tech employers with them.
"We see re-locations out of San Francisco increasingly," Mehul Patel, CEO at the job search site Hired, told Bloomberg. "If you actually factor in cost of living, there are much better places to live." Patel said just in the last year his firm has noted a stream of talent relocating from the Bay Area to places like Seattle, Denver, Austin and Los Angeles. Bureau of Labor Statistics data confirms that while job growth in the tech sector has slowed notably in San Francisco, it is accelerating elsewhere, in places like Portland, Phoenix and Seattle.
In February, according to data from the real estate service Zillow, the median home value in San Francisco was $1.1 million, compared to $351,700 in Portland and $569,500 in Los Angeles, for example.
"A lot of companies are opening shops outside of the Bay Area because of the candidate shortage for the skill set that they need," Megan Slabinski, an executive at a tech-staffing firm told Bloomberg. "Looking at Seattle and Portland, you've got large tech hubs of candidates. There's a great pool of talent."
Though job activity in the tech sector has cooled in San Francisco it's important to note that it is not in decline and is still growing, just slower than in previous years.

Oh, I love this. Not just the wonderfulness of this episode, but that I can unreservedly love a Doctor Who again. That feels so good.
This could be one of my favorite episodes ever. It's everything I fell in love with about the show in the first place. It's got wonder, danger, moral ambiguity, flirting, kissing (actually, there was never enough of that in the old show), cute guys, awesome gals. It's got lizard people herding dinosaurs onto a space ark. It's got big goofy Douglas Adams-esque robots.
All this crammed into 45 minutes. It's hard to think of another show that can be this all over the place so successfully. Doctor Who has often done comedy and drama and science fiction and horror… but not all at once. It's hard to even think of another Doctor Who episode that featured so many characters — five companions! — and moved so smoothly.
What other show could shift, on a dime, from light and silly to dark and dangerous, as happens in the moment when Solomon orders the robots to injure Rory's father? Suddenly we're in a new realm of casual horrors, as Solomon calmly explains that he ejected the thousands of Silurians who were on the ship. His awfulness is made worse by how unfussy he is in his villainy. He doesn't rant and rave: he's so composed. As he's telling the Doctor about the thing he's discovered on the ship that's more valuable and more unique than dinosaurs — "I don't know where you found it… I want it" — I was certain (as I'm sure was writer Chris Chibnall's intention) that he was talking about the TARDIS. But it's Nefertiti he means! She's a thing, an object… and yet Solomon is looking forward to breaking her spirit.
This is not the stuff of kiddie TV.
At least Nefertiti is able to fight back against Solomon. The poor triceratops! It had just been playing catch like a puppy, and then it is destroyed without a second thought by Solomon just to make a point. Awful!
But then it's worst again! The Doctor casually executes Solomon without a second thought… but with a joke. There isn't even any of the hint of regret of David Tennant's Doctor ("I used to have so much mercy").
This episode is one of those sucker punches Doctor Who delivers once in a while, where you don't even realize how dark it's getting until you're already deep inside the darkness.
Is Moffat gonna kill off Amy and Rory? In a way, I hope so. Not that I want them to die, but that's a lot more dramatically interesting than him just forgetting to drop in to see them.
it wouldn't even be all that difficult to bring them back.
Oh, my fanfic lobe is throbbing!
• This week's custom credits: lizard skin.
• When someone asks if you're a queen, you say yes.
• Is "Only my balls" the most surprising line of dialogue ever on Doctor Who?
Or just the one most mortifying for Rory?
• Is this the most surprising moment ever on Doctor Who?
This is all the more mesmerizing because Rory is suddenly totally hot, and I'm not sure when that happened.
• Steven Moffat keeps defending his choice of giving the Doctor very young companions by saying things about how he doesn't imagine that middle-aged people would want to run off with in the TARDIS. But here we have Brian, Rory's father, who is clearly having a ball and is clearly enchanted by the possibilities travel with the Doctor offers.
There's the suggestion, too, that Brian travels a bit with the Doctor after things are wrapped up here, including to whatever planet the dinosaurs got resettled on… because Brian sends Rory and Amy a postcard from there!
So where is all this nonsense about only youngsters wanting adventure with the Doctor coming from? Hell, Riddell is middle-aged, too, and he obviously has had at least several adventures with the Doctor. Or is it merely that Moffat isn't interested in telling stories about more-complicated middle-aged people?

The best way to get to know people in college is to get involved. There are a lot of ways to do that in college: join clubs, become a student ambassador, volunteer. Not only will it help you get to know other students, but it helps you connect with faculty and even people outside of school. And the relationships you create can be a lifelong, priceless thing!
When you step in a new land, you are alone and lonely. First few days are going to be hard and no one wanted to be friends with you since you are new. The truth is, YOU HAVE TO TALK TO THEM and then most of the people will be nice to you. Once you become friends with others, your English improves because people around you always talk to you in English. You can study with them, share or borrow textbook with them, or go out on weekends! So break out of your shell and talk to people! They might be the saviors for your life in the foreign land.
It can be tempting to devote the initial weeks of your course to settling in and leave the real study to later on - until you find that you have an overwhelming amount of revision to do. Get stuck into a study routine as soon as your course starts, and you'll be in a strong position when it's time for exams, assessments and projects.
Some cultures don't consider asking questions a positive thing. It shows your effort to understand and the fact that you are listening to them. So never be afraid to ask questions! It is one of the most important thing is you ask for your doubts. It can be unnerving, but it's always best to admit that you don't understand as soon as possible, so that you don't miss any important points that were talked about in class or mentioned in a book. Don't be afraid to ask other students - or the person teaching the class - for help with things you haven't understood.
Consolidate what you've learned by discussing topics with fellow students. While organising study groups is one way of doing this, a debate doesn't need to be formal or argumentative. A productive discussion can be as simple as asking another student their opinion or perspective on your way to class. This also helps you to build your network and deepen your connections with others.
When it comes to study and revision, it can sometimes be hard to motivate yourself. A good way to keep yourself on track is to schedule a realistic amount of time for study and revision each day. Once it's done, you can enjoy doing other things.

The Economist Is Just Plain Wrong
An editorial from The Economist, "Prostitution and the internet: More bang for your buck," contends that the internet offers the solution to the social ills associated with prostitution. Despite the magic of the internet and the appeal of a classic free-market analysis, our work at The Advocates for Human Rights combating sex trafficking has shown that prostitution is not and never will be a normal service industry. The Economist's analysis purports to show that the Internet allows prostituted women to "behave like freelancers in other labor markets." According to this reasoning, the unique nature of the digital marketplace is the answer to all of the arguments against legalizing prostitution, allowing "consenting adults who wish to buy and sell sex to do so online."
The internet's promise of increased safety quickly vanishes once the "independent businesswoman" is alone in an apartment or hotel room with her "client." A year ago, the New York Times described the fate of one young woman who sold sex on the internet. She was her own boss. The money was easy, and she did not have to share it with anyone. In 2010, her body was one of four discovered on Gilgo Beach, Long Island, all of them women who had been engaged in online prostitution. Remains of six more bodies were discovered in the area. Of the 10, six were prostituted women. The cases remain unsolved.
Instead of diminishing trafficking, legalizing prostitution in places like Germany and the Netherlands has led to its increase. A 2012 study found that countries with legalized prostitution report more human trafficking from other, usually lower-income, countries. According to a German police official, around 80 percent of sex workers in Germany come from southeast Europe. He said that "90 percent of these women have not freely chosen prostitution; they are subjected to various forms of pressure." By contrast, criminalizing prostitution in Sweden has resulted in a shrinking prostitution market and a decrease in trafficking from other countries. Most buyers do not know or care whether they are purchasing sex from an independent businesswoman or from someone who is being forced to sell her body. Women in prostitution have to pretend to be happy, whether to please the buyer so he will become a repeat customer or to please her pimp so he doesn't beat her.
Whatever the platform on which women's bodies are bought and sold, prostitution perpetuates an extreme form of violence against women. According to one study, the "workplace homicide rate for prostitutes" is 50 times greater than for women who work in a liquor store. It is a job where 60 to 80 percent of "workers" experience regular physical and sexual abuse; 68 percent suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. The rate of HIV infection is 14 times higher among prostituted women than other women. The fact is that the vast majority of women who "choose" prostitution do so only because other economic avenues are closed to them. In a society in which women continue to face discrimination, poverty and violence, any opportunity to make money may look like a choice.
Any claimed benefits of moving prostitution off the street are offset by old and new ways of abusing women. The internet will do nothing to stop assault, robbery and rape. In addition, the prostituted woman can't see who is approaching her like she can on the street. She can't use her intuition to avoid someone who gives her a bad vibe. She doesn't know who's on the other end of a phone call or who's really soliciting her. The combined effects of the internet and legalization will not make prostitution a meaningful choice for women. It will only lead to greater harm. According to one survivor of prostitution, "legalization will not end abuse; it will make abuse legal."

O Reino de Zimbabwe (c. 1220–1450) foi um reino medieval localizado nos dias atuais no Zimbabwe. Sua capital, Grande Zimbabwe, é a maior estrutura de pedra na pré-colonial África do Sul.

Nome

Zimbabwe é o nome moderno emitido para a civilização pré-colonial mais proeminente no sul da África. O nome é derivado de um dos dois termos possíveis: o xona (dzimba dza mabwe ou "Grandes casas de pedra") ou Kalanga (Nzi we mabwe ou "Casa de pedra no campo").

Origem
Embora o Reino de Zimbabwe foi formalmente criado durante o período medieval, escavações arqueológicas na região sugerem que a formação do Estado aqui foi consideravelmente mais antiga. No início do século XI, as pessoas do Reino de Mapungubwe na África Austral acredita-se que se instalaram no planalto Zimbabwe. Lá, eles iriam estabelecer o Reino do Zimbabwe em torno de 1220. registros do século XVI deixados pelo explorador João de Barros indicam que Grande Zimbabwe parece ainda ter sido habitada recentemente, em início de 1500.

Cultura e expansão

Os governantes do Zimbabwe trouxeram tradições artísticas e alvenaria de pedra de Mapungubwe. A construção de elaborados edifícios de pedra e paredes atingiu seu ápice no reino. A instituição de mambo também foi usado no Zimbabwe, juntamente com uma estrutura de classes cada vez mais rígida de três camadas. O reino taxou outros governantes em toda a região. O reino era composto por mais de 150 afluentes sediados em seus próprios zimbabwes menores. Eles estabeleceram uma regra em uma área mais ampla que o Mapungubwe, o Butua ou o Mutapa.

Economia
O Reino do Zimbabwe controlou o marfim e o comércio de ouro do interior para a costa sudeste da África. Os bens asiáticos e árabes podem ser encontrados em abundância no reino. A domesticação econômica, que tinha sido crucial para os estados proto-xona anteriores, também foi praticada. As pessoas da Grande Zimbabwe mineraram mineral como ouro, cobre e ferro. Eles também mantiveram a pecuária, como é explicado por sua teoria da hipótese gado.

Ascensão de Mutapa e declínio do Zimbabwe
Em aproximadamente 1430, o príncipe Niatsimba Mutota, do Grande Zimbabwe, viajou para o norte até a região de Dande em busca de sal. Ele então derrotou Tonga e Tavara com seu exército e estabeleceu sua dinastia em Chitakochangonya Hill. A terra que ele conquistou se tornaria o Império Monomotapa. Dentro de uma geração, eclipsou o Grande Zimbabwe como o poder econômico e político no Zimbabwe. Em 1450, a capital e a maior parte do reino foram abandonados.

Consequências
O fim do reino resultou em uma fragmentação do poder proto-xona. Duas bases surgiram ao longo de um eixo norte-sul. No norte, o Império Monomotapa continuou e até melhorou a estrutura administrativa do Zimbabwe. Não seguiu a tradição de alvenaria de pedra na medida do seu antecessor. No sul, o Reino de Butua foi estabelecido como uma versão menor, mas quase idêntica, do Zimbabwe. Ambos estados foram eventualmente absorvidos no maior e mais poderoso dos estados de Kalanga, o Império Rozwi.

From national private hospital groups to homegrown local charities, our experience ensures that no matter how your potential clients or patients find your organisation and services, your brand message is always on point and delivered in the correct way. It's your job to care for others, it's our job to care about you.


In retrospect, there was no lack of innovative technology or concepts. The online world was designed to be "seamless" with no pausing for loading new areas. The graphic engine had very cool effects for it's time. There was no major SciFi online game at the time. Papers were produced about some of the more innovative aspects of the developement (distributed, shared, scalable memory) and high-skilled people were hired.

Speaking with India Today at World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland
Q: Joining us now at the World Economic Forum Congress is senior Minister, Piyush Goyal. Minister welcome and thank you for hopping out of a meeting and joining us here in the freezing cold, you have been enjoying this weather heating it up with all the meetings?
A: I think it was a great opportunity to tell the world what India is all about, show the world the big opportunity that awaits new technology, new ideas, the rapid pace at which India is planning its scale up on investment, scale up on public services and the response we have received has been just hugely fantastic.
Q: We are talking here about the India Today Mood of the Nation opinion poll, coming out as it does right ahead of Republic Day. The good news from the BJP and the NDA's perspective is if elections are held today, the BJP-NDA would win crossing the 300 figure. The slightly disconcerting news is if the opposition comes together as one, if Mayawati, Akhilesh and Mamta Banerjee back Rahul Gandhi, then the going gets much tougher for the BJP. Do you see with the Modi sarkaar doing as well it is, opposition coming together against you?
A: Well, I wish them well. This country has seen such experiments in the past. We saw that very recently in Uttar Pradesh where two of the principal parties came together, it only helped us get 80% of the seats in that state. The people see through these kind of unholy alliances, which have no common consensus, no meeting ground, parties which have been cursing each other, have been at the back of each other for years for a very short term temporary period getting together is something the people of India have rejected, not once, not twice, but if you look back, ever since 1980.
Q: So, on the one side, you have got the NDA crossing 300. The other reality is that you have got the NDA which had a peak of 360 in this Mood of the Nation opinion poll, now coming down about 57 seats from its peak. Would you read some trends into that?
A: Not at all. I would ask you to venture and look back, which government at the end of the fourth year has ever had the kind of popularity ratings that Prime Minister Modi's government has had. Tell me any popular leader in probably the history of India who at the end of the 4th year (inaudible) starting has had popularity which has kept growing month-on-month and year-on-year. I think times are good. In fact, if there is a grouping of all the opposition coming together, possibly we will cross 400.
Q: You think it will actually make things better. Let's talk about some of the economic metrics, because especially on the back of Gujarat we asked respondents whether they felt that the Gujarat victory validates GST, 47% said yes, no was 40%. When we asked them about demonetization, saying that is this more pain than gain, 73% saying this is more pain, 22% saying this is more gain. So, on GST summit, there seems to be resounding amount of approval for what the government has done. But on demonetization, people now wondering kuch mila bhi, fayda hua bhi ki nahin?
Q: So Minister, on GST you have got people backing you, on demonetization now 73%, if you compare this with the earlier poll where demonetization got a thumbs up. Now people are wondering whether they actually benefitted. Is the government losing the narrative on the benefits of demonetization?
A: Absolutely not, as Samir said we are very clear we are on the right path. At Davos, people have been appreciating the bold moves for bringing India into a formal economy, for eliminating corruption, black money – issues by which India had come to be identified through the years of congress rule, so many years. And I think finally they are seeing a government which means to change that narrative, which means to demonstrate that we are for an honest government.
And I think even if in the short run some people are not able to understand the long term impact and benefits of this. We are clear. We will stay the course. We are looking at a larger digitalization and formalization of the economy. We are looking to relentlessly go after black money and corruption and we are extremely confident that the people of India know that this is good for them, they will back the Prime Minister as they have backed him in election after election.
And you will note that we have finally broken the jinx that governments post introduction of GST have consistently worldwide lost the next election. Mr Modi has broken that jinx. We have thrown the congress out of Himachal. We won back Gujarat, for 30 years we have been winning elections there now – 22 years of government. And I think it once and for all shows that if you are honest in your intention the people trust you, home run for you.
Q: Mr Mittal, on the question of which are biggest achievements of the Prime Minister, the Swaccha Bharat campaign seems to be coming in it Number 1. I met somebody from the (Inaudible) board and they were talking about the problems of the Swaccha Bharat campaign how a lot more needed to be done and issue still hadn't been resolved. And the crackdown on black money which is coming in at 17%, we are ironically in Switzerland where Rahul Gandhi has been tweeting and saying 'kuch paisa wapis bhi lekar aao,' nothing has come back yet. Yet that in public perception are the two biggest achievements of the Modi sarkaar?
Q: It's corporates that deal a lot with governments and bureaucracy, to what extent do you think the levels of corruption have fallen?
A: I will just interject a small anecdote. This is about 2012 or thereabouts. My wife was travelling in a taxi, and the taxi driver asked for a fair which was about Rs 50 more than the actual fair. She said 'arre, itna mang rahe ho, itna to banta nahin hai is raste ka'? The taxi driver said, 'Mam sahab, 50 rupye to zyada mang raha hoon, koyle ki khadaan thode hi maang raha hoon.'
That was the mood of the nation. That has changed today. Today, everything is through a transparent process. Sumant has been at the receiving end, he's had runaway success in his renewable energy business. Everything transparent, open equal opportunity for all. So, that's the change what he talked about, perception and reality, both.

Boss of torched Japan studio mourns bright, young staff

KYOTO, Japan - Many victims of an arson attack on a Japanese animation studio were young with bright futures, some joining only in April, the shaken company president said on Saturday, as the death toll climbed to 34.
Thursday's attack on Kyoto Animation, well known for its television series and movies, was Japan's worst mass killing in two decades.
Many of the victims of the attack, in the ancient capital of Kyoto, were young women, company president Hideaki Hatta said.
"Some of them joined us just in April. And on the eighth of July, I gave them a small, but their first, bonus," he said.
"People who had a promising future lost their lives. I don't know what to say. Rather than feeling anger, I just don't have words," Hatta said.
Fifteen of the victims were in their 20s and 11 were in their 30s, public broadcaster NHK said. Six were in their 40s and one was at least 60. The age of the latest victim, a man who died in hospital, was not known. The names of the victims have not been disclosed.
The studio had about 160 employees with an average age of 33.
Police have confirmed the identity of the suspect as Shinji Aoba, but have declined to comment further.
Aoba lives in a modest, two-floor apartment building 500 km (310 miles) from Kyoto in a rural suburb just outside Omiya, a commuter hub north of Tokyo.
A 27-year-old neighbour said Aoba had once grabbed him and yelled at him over a noise dispute.
"He started yelling at me to my face to shut up. He grabbed me by the collar and started pulling my hair. It was terrifying," the neighbour, who declined to be identified, said.
PLAGIARISM CLAIM

Aoba had been convicted of robbery in the past and is suspected of carrying out the arson attack because he believed his novel had been plagiarized, Japanese media have said.
But Hatta, the company president, said he had no idea about any plagiarism claim, adding he had not seen any correspondence from the suspect.
People living near the studio said they saw a man fitting Aoba's description in a nearby park the day before the attack.
Police suspect he may have spent a day or more in the area to prepare.
Resident Rie Bannai said her nephew saw the man sleeping on a bench in the park.
Police have not formally arrested Aoba, as he is being treated for heavy burns, NHK said, but have taken the unusual step of releasing his name.
Rui Yamaguchi, who works in a factory nearby, said he saw the suspect when he was detained.
"He looked like a mannequin with no hair and blackened. One of his pants legs had gone around his calf. It looked like it had burnt off," he said.
'BEAUTIFUL AND WARM'
Near the blackened studio building, where the smell of burning timber lingered over the neighbourhood, animation fans gathered to add to a growing pile of flowers, drinks and other offerings.
Bing Xie, 25, a Chinese student at Kyoto University, said she could not forgive the arsonist.
"The criminal who does this seems to have been mentally disturbed, but I can't forgive him. The young people at Kyoto Animation were beautiful and warm and it is hard to accept they are gone."
Police guarded the site as investigators, some on the roof near where many died in a connecting stairwell, examined the blackened building.
Hatta said the building needed to be torn down because it was so badly damaged.
Tributes to the victims lit up social media, with world leaders and Apple Inc's chief executive offering condolences. The hashtag #PrayforKyoAni, as the studio is known among fans, has become popular.
Kyoto Animation produces popular "anime" series such as the "Sound! Euphonium". It is also known for "Violet Evergarden", which has been shown on Netflix.
