WGC FedEx St Jude Invitational Preview, Picks & Analysis
By: Derek Clements | Mon 02 Aug 2021 | Comments
JUSTIN THOMAS returns to defend the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational title he won by three shots for what was his 13th PGA Tour victory and his third of the season. It was a win that took Thomas to the top of the world rankings for the first time since June 2018. There then followed a difficult period during which he was caught on camera uttering a homophobic slur before having to deal with the death of his much-loved grandfather, before rebounding to win The Players Championship in March.
Thomas is in the middle of a frantic schedule, having played in The Open at Royal St George's and the Olympic Games in Tokyo last week. And he is not alone.
He battled it out with defending champion Brooks Koepka down the final holes last year, sealing victory on the par-five 16th. He took the lead for good with his second straight birdie, while Koepka bogeyed the hole.
Koepka pulled within a stroke with a 39-footer for birdie at the 17th but then put his tee shot into the water at the 18th on his way to double bogey, allowing Thomas to finish up an easy par putt for what wound up a three-stroke victory.
Thomas closed with a 5-under 66 to finish at 13-under 267 and won for the 13th time in his PGA Tour career. At 27, he became the third-youngest player since 1960 to reach 13 PGA Tour wins, trailing only Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
This was the fifth time Thomas rallied to win, and he matched his biggest comeback after starting the day four strokes back of third-round leader Brendon Todd.
Koepka finished with a 69 and tied for second with Phil Mickelson (67), Daniel Berger (65) and Tom Lewis (66).
Thomas started Sunday with Jim "Bones" Mackay on his bag playing in the same group with Mickelson for the first time since Mickelson split with his longtime caddie. Thomas made up the deficit with four birdies on the front nine and just missed another birdie chance at the eighth. His 20-footer at the ninth tied Todd at 12 under.
Todd, whose putting had carried him through the first three rounds, three-putted for bogey from 23 feet on the par-three eighth, leaving Thomas alone at the top of the leaderboard.
Thomas put his second on the par-four 12th into a greenside bunker near the back edge and chopped it out to the rough. He chipped out from an awkward stance to salvage bogey. That created a five-way tie at 11 under with Koepka, Berger, Lewis and Todd.
Koepka took the lead himself on the par-4 13th. He hit his approach from 133 yards to 10 feet of the pin, and Koepka sunk the putt for his third birdie of the round to go to 12 under.
After hitting his tee shot 321 yards to the rough 51 yards short of the hole on No. 15, Thomas hit to six feet for a birdie, tying Koepka at 12 under with three to play. Thomas found the rough far right of the cart path on the par-5 16th, then hit his third from the left rough 65 yards to three feet for his second straight birdie.
Koepka, in the group behind Thomas, tried to answer 42 yards from the hole. His shot landed close to the hole only to keep rolling to the back of the green. Koepka wound up two-putting from eight feet for bogey.
Championship Preview
Paul Casey and Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama are among those flying back to America from the Olympic Games to compete in the tournament at TPC Southwind. They will be joined Tyrrell Hatton and Sergio Garcia, both of whom are looking for some serious form as the countdown to the Ryder Cup begins in earnest.
Matsuyama earned his qualification to the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational via his historic victory at the 2021 Masters Tournament in April, which marked his first career major championship and sixth PGA Tour victory. With the win, Matsuyama became the first male major championship winner from Japan and ended his winless drought of 1,344 days between wins (2017 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational). So far this season, the Japan native has enjoyed eight top-20 finishes, including a tied-second finish at the Vivint Houston Open. The 2021 WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational marks Matsuyama's third consecutive appearance at TPC Southwind where he finished T20 in 2020.
Hatton secured his place in the field by winning the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. On the PGA Tour this season, the 29-year-old has had four top-10 finishes, including a tie for second at the Palmetto Championship at Congaree and a third-place finish at The CJ Cup.
Englishman Casey secured his qualification thanks to his victory at the 2021 Omega Dubai Desert Classic on the European Tour. The win was his 15th on the European Tour and first since his 2019 Porsche European Open victory. He is enjoying a splendid season in America, having finished tied fifth at the Players Championship and joint fourth at the PGA Championship.
Garcia has had six top-20 finishes this season, including fifth at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. The 41-year-old is set to make his seventh career appearance at TPC Southwind and third consecutive start at the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational. A star-studded field also features Dustin Johnson, Koepka, Adam Scott, Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy.
Shane Lowry won this tournament six years ago and showed flashes of his brilliant best in a stout defence of the Claret Jug last month. Don't read too much into Dustin Johnson's missed cut at the 3M - the week before, he finished joint eighth in The Open and has enjoyed six top-10 finishes from just 17 starts. Louis Oosthuizen is becoming a fixture on leaderboards but really needs to find a victory soon. In 18 starts this season the South African has finished runner-up four times and third on two occasions. His stroke average is 69.5, he is back in the top 10 in the world rankings and sixth in the FedEx Cup standings with a cool $6.14m in prize money - and all this without a win.
Tournament Winners
It was won in 2015 by Shane Lowry, in 2016 by Dustin Johnson, in 2017 by Hideki Matsuyama, in 2018 and 2020 by Justin Thomas and in 2019 by Brooks Koepka.
TPC Southwind's par-70, 7,244-yard championship layout was designed by Ron Prichard, with PGA TOUR players Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller serving as consultants. The golf course features undulating fairways, Bermuda greens and numerous lakes, streams and ponds. It was once the site of a dairy farm.
To Win:
Dustin Johnson. Past champion
Each Way:
Paul Casey. Playing superbly and narrowly missed out on Olympic bronze
Justin Thomas. Has a fabulous record here
Five to Follow:
Dustin Johnson. Back to his best
Paul Casey. In the form of his life
Justin Thomas. Looking for third win here
Collin Morikawa. Now a two-time major champion
Louis Oosthuizen. Must win again soon, surely
Outsiders to Watch:
Shane Lowry. Starting to look the part again
Ian Poulter. Looking to catch the eye of Padraig Harrington
Justin Rose. There have been some very encouraging signs
Kevin Na. Hugely underrated

KEEP CALM, Summer's Coming (15 Sunshine-Inspired Songs) SONG 9
No one likes shady beaches. –author unknown
Summertime…it's all fun and games…until it isn't. No one dreams of having a bad summer and yet they still exist. But if summer isn't all sunshine, thank heaven for quirky 80s songs that make the bad days bearable! Here's where "Cruel Summer" by English pop group, Bananarama, comes in. Added to my summer music countdown for it's easy chorus and spunky sound, it just screams summer…and then some.
The song actually debuted in 1983, but became a hit on the U.S. pop charts in 1984 thanks to the movie, "The Karate Kid." The lyrics tell the story of one stuck in a miserable, hot city AFTER a bad breakup. Ouch! Unlucky in love, and unsure what to do next, the singer is mired in a hopeless situation. Shot on location in New York City during a record heat wave, the group didn't have to do much acting. Unaccustomed to oppressive city temps, the girls share that they simply wanted to shoot the video in NYC because they hadn't been there before and may have bitten off more than they could chew. Group member, Siobhan Fahey, details the misadventures of the video shoot in her book, "I Want My MTV."
I was nine years old when this song was all the rage. I remember the ratty hair, big belts and overalls and did my best to emulate the look! And of course, I remember singing this song…over and over (and over.) Today, I sing this song in an attempt to bring back the 80s…AND to torture my kids, of course 🙂
Up Next: SONG 10…"it wasn't a rock…."

Our flight to London left after 10:20 pm on September 2. It allowed us to spend the day finishing packing and finishing up things around the house. We had to drop our dogs off at the kennel before 6:00 pm. Our plan was to drop them off and have some dinner before heading to the airport.
Check-in was simple and boarding began at 10:00 pm. WestJet had just bought new Max-8 planes and we were flying over to London on one of those planes. The leg room was good and the flight was quick, but there are no in-flight entertainment screens, so you need to bring your own. Westjet has an app you download before your flight to watch television and movies through the app.
It is just under 6 hours from Halifax to London. Before we left I saw some posts about the long delays at passport control when arriving at Heathrow and Gatwick, some people were saying 2-3 hours to get through.
Here is how it went for us. We landed and debarked by 8:30 am. We arrived at the line for non-EU passport holders by 8:39. By 9:00 am we were on our way to the train with our luggage. I am sure it depends on how many planes have arrived at the same time, but the non-EU passport control moved quickly for us.
Before leaving for our trip, I booked a train from Gatwick to London Bridge. It was super simple to pick up our tickets and find our train. The tickets for two adults and one child was £21.15 through Thameslink.
As a side note, we knew we were going to be using the tube a fair amount while in London. If you are travelling with children look into getting a Zip Oyster card. You need to apply for it more than one month in advance and they are available for tourists. We did this for out daughter.
We picked our daughter's Zip card up at Gatwick. At that time we put £15 on the card, which was too much—we still had money left over at the end since children's fares are so inexpensive. There is a £15 purchase fee for the card, so you need to decide if it will be worth it for you. The standard Oyster cards have a £5 fee and if using with your child, you would be paying adult fares. In our case where we are returning to London in 2019, it was worth it.
As I mentioned in a previous post, we decided to stay at the Bankside Premier Inn. It cost a bit more than some of the other hotels we were looking at but the location was perfect. It is beside the Borough Market on the Thames and about a block away is the location of the original Globe Theatre.
The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. We were able to get into our room when we arrived just after 11:00 am which was appreciated. Usually, after a red-eye flight, we like to shower and have a nap for a couple hours and then head out and see the sites. Making sure that we get to bed a proper local time. I have found that it helps with the jet lag and makes everyone more pleasant for the rest of the day.
One thing we all loved about the Premier Inn was the shower. It had an amazing rain shower head. We would love to buy one for our home. Another thing to mention about Premier Inn is that they do not have mini-fridges in the room and no in-room safe. Before the trip, I bought a PacSafe Vault to store our iPads and other valuables when out of the room. It worked well and I think we will use it in other situations like a trip to the beach.
If you enjoyed this post and wanted to read more about our trip I have posted about our planning and the rest of our first day in London. As well as stateroom tours of our secret porthole rooms 6006 and 5520.

Orwell & Empire by Douglas Kerr*
Orwell & Empire
Douglas Kerr
Oxford University Press, 2022, pp 240
ISBN: 978 0 192 86409 3
Once there was a British writer, an Englishman who was born in India. He was privately educated in England, did not go to university, returned to the East after leaving school, and lived and worked there for a handful of years. Empire, and the relation between those in authority and those under authority, became one of the principal themes of his writing, both in journalism and fiction (p. 152).
In his excellent new book, Douglas Kerr convincingly argues that empire was central to George Orwell's cultural identity and that colonial life shaped the writer he became. Kerr's ideas – first explored in his earlier, concise work on the writer, about the 'familiar pattern' of Orwell's 'journey to the East' for one born into 'a family of the military and imperial class' – have been developed considerably. By allowing 'Orwell to speak for himself' of 'the East' and focusing on the oft-neglected historical/cultural context in which he wrote, Kerr offers new insights into an 'eastward-facing Orwell, poised between the Anglo-Indian Rudyard Kipling and the Indo-Anglian Mulk Raj Anand' (p. 17).
The introduction, a masterclass in synthesis and originality, employs irony and motifs from Orwell's work to bring the 'strong oriental subtext' that 'ran like the great seams of coal' through British life, into focus:
The national beverage of the British, consumed in stately homes and in the shelters of the homeless, and celebrated in a characteristic essay by George Orwell called 'A nice cup of tea', is brewed from the leaves of a plant that cannot be cultivated in Europe, but grows on the hillsides of India and China. Tea was not the only quintessentially English thing, important to Orwell, that was not English at all. The aspidistra, that hardy and inelegant plant once so common in English middle-class homes that Orwell made it a comic symbol of respectability in Keep the Aspidistra Flying, is also a botanical immigrant from the East. In English country gardens, oriental rhododendrons and camellias and peonies flourished under their assumed European names (p. 1).
Orwell, despite his enthusiasm for English cookery, beer, pubs, gardening and a nice cup of tea is shown to be 'a lifelong immigrant' of sorts, 'reporting on England, like Kipling, as on a foreign land' (p. 8).
Kerr's ideas are structured into thematic and largely freestanding chapters: Animals, Environment, Burmese Days, Class, Empire, Geography, Women, Race, Police, The Law, and Literature. He compellingly challenges conventional narratives and tropes throughout and does not baulk at discussing Orwell's limitations – especially on race, women and as a novelist. His commentary on Kipling and Orwell, the 'twinned heraldic animals, the lion and the unicorn of modern British literature', is particularly insightful (p. 152). Usually viewed through the prism of their differences as writers, Kerr's list of similarities the men share includes that they were both:
Anglo-Indians and Asian by birth;
patriots but highly critical of their government and the citizenry;
public intellectuals interested in raising the political consciousness of the nation;
enamoured with nature and the English countryside, loved (and anthropomorphised) animals;
men of principle but pragmatic about change;
impatient with orthodoxy, theory and hypocrisy (pp 152-153).
Kerr details the lifelong intellectual quarrel Orwell had with Kipling, whom he 'worshipped' at thirteen when at prep school, 'loathed' at seventeen while a sixth-former at Eton, 'enjoyed' at twenty serving as a police officer in Burma, 'despised' at twenty-five while living a bohemian existence in Paris and was to rather 'admire' again by 1936, as a struggling professional author with three published novels (p. 155). Kerr sees Orwell's ambivalence as evidence of paradoxical feelings towards both empire and his Anglo-Indian heritage. Considering the influence of Kipling on Orwell's work published in the period 1931-1936 – such as 'A hanging', 'Shooting an elephant' and especially Burmese Days, where the Englishmen, who lounge at the club, are clearly Kiplingesque characters 'stripped of their glamour and charm' – the struggle is evident (p. 154). Burmese Days is a powerful, although limited, indictment of empire but the protagonist, John Flory, an English timber merchant, certainly understands the 'commercial motives' that underpinned British imperialism in a way Kipling never did' (p. 68).
Edward Said's analysis of European imperialism, in his seminal book Orientalism (1978), explored 'the East' as an invention of the Western mind. Imaginative writers, such as Kipling, were the intellectual lifeblood of this invention. Kerr is surefooted explaining why the term 'orientalism' (in lowercase) is vexed terminology rightly associated 'with mastery, selection, and prejudice' and necessarily employed to foreground 'the powerful oriental dimension' in the work of Orwell who:
… struggled all his life, and not with complete success, to exorcise the Orientalism (in Said's sense) which came with his Anglo-Indian patrimony. The argument is that this is absolutely formative to his intellectual and political development. Replacing Orwell in the Orient—and examining the Orient in Orwell—are central to the ambition of this book to rehistoricize him (p. 4).
Kerr works hard to achieve that, knowing that the Anglo-Indians have 'disappeared from view as completely as the Elizabethan apprentice boys or the London Huguenots' (p. 5).He explains that the Anglo-Indians 'carried a geography, and a history, different from people who took their bearings unquestioningly from the Greenwich meridian' (p. 6). As Orwell knew well, it was nearly impossible to escape from the class into which you were born.
Kerr is rightly unconvinced about theoretical claims that suggest Orwell is a 'post-colonial writer' pointing out that the great anti-imperialist does not seem to have developed friendships with indigenous people in Burma (which may be understandable as was an imperial policeman) nor in London during the war (p. 75). Orwell was always sceptical about the realpolitik of a successful Burmese democracy (p. 8). Burmese Days makes little attempt to explore the private life of the local people and is most notable for descriptive passages of the country's natural environment. Kerr notes that U Po Kyin, the villain of the novel, was the name of the only Indigenous face in the famous photograph taken at the Police Training School at Mandalay in 1923 (p. 125).
Mandalay, Burma, 1923
Orwell, the Anglo-Indian, had, indeed, internalised a geography different from those whose bearings were taken from the Greenwich meridian. Re-reading Homage to Catalonia (on completing Kerr's book), I noted that Orwell's memories of the war in Spain are represented through the geographical prism of the sub-continent. He arrives back in Barcelona on the train, after several months at the front, which reminds him of an experience more than a decade earlier:
From Mandalay, in Upper Burma, you can travel by train to Maymyo, the principal hill station of the province, on the edge of the Shan plateau. It is rather a queer experience. You start off in the typical atmosphere of an eastern city – the scorching sunlight, the dusty palms, the smells of fish and spices and garlic, the squashy tropical fruits, the swarming dark-faced human beings – and because you are so used to it you carry this atmosphere intact, so to speak, in your railway carriage. Mentally you are still in Mandalay when the train stops at Maymyo, four thousand feet above sea level. But in stepping out of the carriage you step into a different hemisphere. Suddenly you are breathing cool sweet air that might be that of England, and all round you are green grass, bracken, fir trees, and hill-women with pink cheeks selling baskets of strawberries. Getting back to Barcelona, after three and a half months at the front, reminded me of this. There was the same abrupt and startling change of atmosphere (Orwell 1998 [1938]: 87).
Britain's empire was never far from Orwell's consciousness. His plan to return to India, to work on a newspaper in Lucknow just before the Second World War, never reached fruition. Two subsequent, 'wasted' years at the BBC as a talks assistant, then as the producer broadcasting propaganda into the sub-continent is explored (albeit briefly) in several chapters. Kerr's commentary on Mulk Raj Anand insightfully unpacks Orwell's complex relationship to the politics of empire during this time at the BBC:
Anand was an anti-imperialist, a socialist, and an Indian nationalist. This was tricky for Orwell, who was highly suspicious of nationalism. But he defended Anand from charges of being anti-British and unfriendly to Anglo-Indians in his writing. He was impatient with Anand's politics for the same reason that he disapproved of Congress agitation for Indian independence from Britain while the imperial Japanese army was storming through Asia. But as a literary figure, Orwell had no doubt about Anand's value and importance (p. 165).
Mulk Raj Anand (1905-2004)
Anand believed Anglo-Indians were often out of touch with their own countrymen, as well as the sub-continent (p. 6). Orwell was very surprised that independence came so quickly after the end of the war for the Indian and Burmese people and Kerr notes that Orwell, wrestling with his illness and Nineteen Eighty-Four on Jura, wrote nothing about it (p. 166). The recent discovery of letters, written to David Astor from Paris in 1945, do reveal Orwell's strong desire to return to Burma as a war correspondent to 'report the closing stages of the campaign and interview some of the political leaders'. This fact, unknown to Kerr on publication, further strengthens his thesis about the centrality of the sub-continent to Orwell's cultural, professional and imaginative identity. Kerr concludes by mentioning that Orwell, returning to 'the Anglo-Indian world of his youth', was working on a new short story, A Smoking-Room Story, when he died (p. 167).
Scholarly and readable, Douglas Kerr's convincing new book is an essential one for those interested in Orwell, imperialism and the legacy of empire. It is also worth returning to his earlier book (2003) to see the development of Kerr's thinking about Orwell and 'the East'.

"The ayah is a most important personage in the Anglo-Indian nursery, one on whom very often the whole future health and happiness of the English child depends, and yet how little care is often taken in her selection!" The English Baby in India (1893) On the day Eric Blair was baptised at […]

"I give all this background information because I do not think one can assess a writer's motives without knowing something of his early development.

On Tolkien and Orwell
On first looking at J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) and George Orwell (1903-1950) they appear to have little in common, as men or writers, other than being peculiarly English authors with evergreen book sales. The year 1937 was a seminal one for both men and useful for highlighting their different lifestyles, politics and literary experiences. Tolkien, the […]

I for one always look forward to a vacation. A time to escape from the routine of everyday life, takes in some new surrounding, relax, and have some fun. With vacations also comes the travel process and the every dreaded layovers and flight delays. Peter Minkoff was so kind to write a guest post today and share a few ways we can turn layovers and flight delays into a positive thing.
Even though the majority of travellers think of layover as very dreadful and exhausting – it actually doesn't have to be like that at all. Waiting for your connecting flight can be a very precious time you will spend just on yourself. Here is a list of fabulous ways to spare layover time on airport, so check it out and learn how to minimize stress and enjoy it to the max.
There is nothing more important than beauty sleep, even when it comes to infamous layover. Your eyes will eventually get too heavy, and if dozing off in public is not your cup of tea, don't worry – there is a solution to your problem. Many airports today have YOTEL facilities, which are basically accommodations within the airport terminals that are inspired by Japanese capsule hotels. It comes with a bed, bathroom with shower, a fold-out desk, and even a flat-screen TV. Sleep well and avoid jet lag for the best trip ever!
From coffee shops to restaurants with Michelin stars, airports all over the world indeed offer high-quality foods and drinks to the globetrotters. It is just up to you to choose what you would like the most – no matter whether it is a doughnut and coffee from Starbucks, or Gordon Ramsey's perfect steak and a glass of wine. Besides that, there are numerous restaurants that are particularly appropriate for families with small children, so have that in mind when choosing a perfect place to grab a bite.
Some of the airports are true paradise for shoppers, and trust us – you won't even feel when your time is up. For example, Terminal 5 at Heathrow in London is stacked with more than 100 shops that offer everything you can possibly need – even some of the world's most prominent brands and designer houses have their stores here. Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Prada are just some of them. This terminal is definitely a perfect retail therapy space that will provide an ultimate shopping experience.
It may sound quite awkward, but it is actually not – just a few minutes of stretching and deep breathing will get your blood flowing after a long flight. Have that in mind the next time you are planning your trip and pack a yoga mat in your carry-on. Some of the airports even offer a fitness area, but if there is no such place, you can always pick a quiet corner of an airport lounge. On the other hand, if you would like to sweat a bit more, check out if that particular airport offers a gym or fitness center in or around it. Just be considerate to other passengers and make sure that there are shower facilities, too.
No matter whether you will choose a board game, or the favorite one on your smartphone or tablet – this is definitely a good way to kill some time at the airport. Some of the most amazing face-to-face games include Travel Scrabble, Bananagrams, and Yahtzee to Go, which are all appropriate for travelling. On the other hand, if you are all on your own, you can play online games such as Poptropica. It offers a wide range of games that are both entertaining and educational, which is actually a great way to pass the time.
Even though you would probably be happier if the layovers didn't exist, the truth is that they really don't have to be that stressful and exhausting. The majority of the airports today actually offer so many amenities that will make your layover not only bearable, but quite enjoyable in fact. Use them well and that will certainly make your life much easier.
My friend travelled so much for work that she started always getting her nails done while waiting at airports. One less thing that she had to do when she got home and it made the experience more pleasant!
Getting a mani/pedi at the airport is such a great idea! I will have to keep that in mind next time I travel!
GIRL I love this blog post! I have been traveling so much and I couldn't agree more with everything you've said.
It's actually a guest post by Peter Minkoff, but I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed this post! I hope you are having fun and keeping safe on your travels!
Las esperas a veces son largas y lo mejor es la comodidad.
So true! It really is best to get comfortable if you are in for a long wait!
Great tips! I have a cross country flight coming up in a few months and I will definitely be using these!
Happy to hear it! hope your trip(s) goes well!

Anaheim --
Jerry Blevins' first question when he got into the clubhouse Tuesday was, "Where is my pie?"
Good question, because the A's 6-5 victory over the Angels was about as close to a walkoff win as a team can get on the road, with Blevins playing the major role in the dramatic final moments.
Blevins, a middle reliever who is usually in the background when it comes to the A's success, turned in a magnificent performance in an near-impossible situation. After closer Grant Balfour gave up two runs in the ninth, Blevins took the mound with nobody out, the potential tying run at third and the potential winning run at first base.
He struck out Kendrys Morales, then got Howie Kendrick to bounce into a game-ending double play. It was Blevins' first save of the season and the second of his career, and it was huge, given that the A's are trying to hang onto a wild-card spot and the Angels are trying to make up ground in the race.
"So far in my career, that's the biggest moment, the most exciting," said Blevins, who has been with the A's longer than any other player on the team's active roster after first coming to the club in 2007. "I felt pure elation. That was one of the biggest screams I've given on a baseball field."
The A's are known for their last-at-bat wins, with a major-league-leading 13 walk-off victories. Tuesday night's victory, manager Bob Melvin said, had "every bit" the same feel.
"Obviously, you can't have a walk-off on the road, but that's the equivalent," he said. "Nobody out, all the momentum on their side."
But ... no pie in the face for Blevins while he was doing postgame TV, which is the tradition at home for walk-offs.
"I was half expecting it the whole time while I was doing TV," Blevins said. "That was the perfect time for a pitcher to get a little love."
Blevins' only real option to get the save was to strike out Morales. Morales, a switch hitter, turned around to hit righty against the left-hander. One reason Blevins was in the game was to have Morales hit from his weaker side. Melvin had the infield playing back and the A's were going to concede the tying run to get the out.
Balfour had been 10-for-10 in save opportunities since returning to the closer role Aug. 11, but with the A's leading by three, he walked the first two batters in the ninth, then gave up RBI singles to Torii Hunter and Albert Pujols.
Balfour wasn't crazy about the strike zone, but he said, "At the end of the day, I've got to make better pitches to get out of that."
The A's remain in the top wild-card spot in the American League, and they pushed the Angels to 7 1/2 games back in the AL West.
The A's are a season-high 21 games over .500, and the team has won 11 consecutive road games, matching the second-longest streak in Oakland history, done in April 1981. The longest Oakland road winning streak is 12 games, July 31 to Aug. 15, 1971.
Yoenis Céspedes ended a 21-game homerless streak with a solo shot in the second and Brandon Moss hit his second homer in two nights, a two-run drive in the fourth. Coco Crisp had an RBI triple in the ninth and scored on an error by Hunter on the play.

Summary of Observations on Social Inclusion and Exclusion, Resource Management, Transformational Politics ...
EDITORIAL: Observations on Social Inclusion and Exclusion, Resource Management, Transformational Politics, Developmental Practices, Gender Relations and Tacit Knowledge Om Gurung Laya Prasad Uprety Tulsi Ram Pandey The editorial board is pleased to help the Central Department of Sociology and Anthropology of Tribhuvan University to publish the much- th awaited 11 volume of the 'Occasional Papers in Sociology and Anthropology'. In total, there are 14 articles in this volume. The fundamental themes they embody are six: social inclusion and exclusion, resource management, transformational politics, developmental practices, gender relations and tacit knowledge. Academically speaking, these themes demonstrate the areas of research in which the Nepalese sociologists and anthropologists have been involved. In other words, these articles reflect the types of contemporary sociological and anthropological research works in Nepal.The editorial board thanks all authors for their contributions to this volume. Prof.Om Gurung, in his paper entitled "Social Inclusion: Policies and Practices in Nepal", presents his critical observations on the policies and practices in Nepal vis-à-vis the issue of social inclusion. Given the fact that the present state is exclusionary, non-participatory and non- representative and it discriminates indigenous peoples, women, Madhesis, Dalits and other marginalized communities on the basis of ethnicity, caste, language, religion, sex, class and geographical territory, he argues that these marginalized communities are demanding for an inclusive state through its restructuring along the line of federalism on the basis of national regional autonomy. He is sanguine that the recent election for the constituent assembly has paved the path for the formation of the inclusive state once the new democratic constitution is crafted by it. He has critically reviewed the demographic sturicture of various social +
286 Occasional Papers, Vol 11 groups, all past development plans and programs of the government, and the issues embedded in the regime of social exclusion. He has cogently argued that social exclusion of indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities in Nepal is one of the widely accepted factors of their impoverization and marginalization. Mr.Jailab Rai, in his article entitled "Socio-Cultural Subjectivities of Landlessness: A Case Study of Sarki People from Naubise VDC of Dhading District", deals with the socio-cultural subjectivities of landlessness surfaced among the Dalit people who are considered as the extremely marginalized group in the access to and ownership of land resources. He has analyzed the social, economic and cultural dimensions and processes of the issue of landlessness among the Dalits. He has suggested that such socially disadvantaged groups must be provided with alternative economic opportunities for the betterment of their social and economic lives by the responsible agencies. Dr. Keshav Kumar Shrestha, in his article entitled "An Ethnography of the Jhapali Rajbanshis", presents the classical ethnographic accounts of the Rajbanshi, one of the few indigenous people of eastern Terai. More specifically, he has provided the analysis on the history, social structure, economic system, rites de passage, and religion. Dr. Laya Prasad Uprety, in his article entitled "Migration and Its Implications on the Local Initiative of Management of Water Resource for Irrigation", analyzes the trends and causes of in-migration in a traditional Tharu community of western Terai that triggered the intensification of the local culture of water resource management for irrigation in the expanded command areas, and explicates the implications of in-migration on the local initiative of management of irrigation systems. He concludes that hill-Terai interface has not been impediment for the sustained irrigation management in the traditional homeland of the Tharu people because the hill caste/ethnic migrant water appropriators have completely learned and accepted the native Tharu culture of common property resource management as if they are a part of traditional social structure. He further argues that such unique migrant-native interface which can be a model of the common property resource management for other parts of Nepal Terai where similar social structure exists. Notwithstanding this brute fact, migration has also begun having the +
adverse effect on the reduction of the command areas of the farmer- managed irrigation systems through the process of urbanization. Ms.Shyamu Thapa Magar, in her article entitled "Magars and their Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices in Tanahu District", has tried to analyze the gender aspect of indigenous knowledge systems. She argues that both men and women are directly involved in resource utilization, management and protection by using their indigenous knowledge systems in their specific environments learned from their older generations for their sustained livelihood. These systems of knowledge have been continued because of the inherent organizational culture of underscoring the people's participation in decision-making processes, group dynamism and people's role in resource mobilization, cost effectiveness and sustainability. Hence, promoting valuable indigenous knowledge systems and practices for the sustained livelihood among the indigenous communities is the need of the contemporary world when they are deteriorating due to the interventions of the new modern technologies. Using the value chain analysis, Mr. Madhusudan Subedi, in his article entitled "Aromatic Plant Trade and Livelihood Strategies in the Rural Nepal: A Case of Wintergreen in Dolakha District", has assessed the opportunities for Wintergreen, a natural product's intervention for reducing poverty, strengthening local governance, and improving resource management. He concludes that natural resources are dynamic and perceptions regarding their ownership and access rights are socially embedded, and political forces determine the stake of various actors and stakeholders over such resources. People and their surrounding environment define resources and their use. The Nature, Wealth and Power Framework enables one to understand the various cross- cutting themes. It is a mutually inclusive framework for knowledge management, capacity building, organizational development and arrangement, competitiveness and efficiencies, policy and legal reforms, and integration. Mr. Chalaune, in his paper entitled "Water, Wealth and Power: A Case Study from Upper Mustang Nepal", examines the relationship between micro socio-political institutions and unequal access to water which are ultimately moulded by macro social world. He argues that the +
288 Occasional Papers, Vol 11 indigenously managed irrigation system existing in Dhee-Upper Mustang is the manifestation or reflection of local kingship, village headmanship, polyandry, property inheritance system, access to and control over land, animal husbandry, state monarchical system, Bikas (development), and modus operandi of NGOs/INGOs and governmental officials. He cogently argues that the local unequal socio- political complexities led to age old indigenously managed irrigation system which is ultimately triggered and protected by wider social and political structure. Succinctly put in other way, he shows that the community or indigenously-managed irrigation system of Dhee is not isolated from micro and macro socio- political complexities. He has ascertained that it is highly exploitative system because irrigation water reinforces existing social hierarchy making rich the richer and poor the poorer. Mr. Jiban Mani Poudel, in his article entitled, "Cultural Understanding of Non-timber Forest Products among Bahuban Community People of Eastern Nepal", analyzes that all naturally available 'objects' are not 'resources' for all categories of people. He argues that these objects only become resources while people use them to fulfill their needs by interpreting the symbolic meanings, functions and use-values in their socio-cultural and religious lives. Along this line, he further argues that all non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have not the same use-values for all categories of people. There are caste/ethnic, religious, class, and age-group differences in NTFPs' uses. Therefore, people's interaction with nature (NTFPs) can be understood only with reference to culture and cultural perspectives. He has further argued that the local people have strong social sanction and tradition belief regarding the use of locally available resources. Such social sanction and traditional belief help to protect over and continuous exploitation of resources. Dr.Tulsi Ram Pandey, in his article entitled "Democracy in Cage:Towards a Framework for State Restructuring in Nepal", analyzes the meaning of state and democratic processes, explicates how the democratic processes were kept into cage by all previous waves of efforts towards restructuring the state, evaluates the contents and implications of current debates on state restructuring in Nepal by relating them with the characteristics of the democratic processes and makes +
efforts to identify some additional issues of importance in this regard. He concludes that one of the important fields requiring changes in bringing some reformulation of relationship between state, class and people is the organizational structure of the state and the pattern of distribution of power between its units working under that structure. Devolution of political and economic power of the state to village level units of the government helps to satisfy many of the problems raised in current debates on state restructuring in Nepal. It is a fact that many of the caste and ethnic people are concentrated in some specific parts of the country. As a result, the representative units of the governments in most of those specific localities could be formed of members representing those caste and ethnic people who live there in majority. Devolution of power of the state to these local units allows these members to use that power for the advantage of their community. Mr.Suresh Dhakal and Mr. Sanjeev Pokharel, in their article entitled "Local Movements, Political Processes and Transformation: A Case Study of Bhaktapur Municipality", have attempted to explain a story of partnerships, communities, political leadership, and management practices to show how with a political will good governance is possible even in a polity that is undergoing significant governability crises and an erosion of political institutions. By studying the transformation of the traditional city of Bhaktapur, they have sought to complicate and problematise the discourse on democracy so that we can look beyond the subtle rhetoric of democracy and draw different conclusions. They have concluded that a program of social transformation – towards more modernity, towards more democracy - can achieve its desired goals if it takes into consideration the social, economic and cultural experiences of the people concerned.Therefore, it is important for a program of social transformation to be compatible with the constraints and opportunities faced by the people in their everyday lives. They have cogently argued that ideologies hold no power in themselves to change a society. What is required is people's active involvement in the processes of determining not only the contents but also the course of social transformation. If people actively participate in the process of determining what needs to be changed and how, desired social changes are not difficult to realize. In Nepal, few programs of social and economic transformation are based on people's own perception about how they can be made fruitful to +
290 Occasional Papers, Vol 11 them. Prof. Samira Luitel, in her article entitled "Dependency and Underdevelopment: The Nepalese Context", proffers the penchant criticism on the nature of underdevelopment in Nepal. She critically rivets her analysis on history of underdevelopment, foreign aid and dependency, dependency and donor interest, centralized planning and unequal development and traditional bureaucracy and global economy vis-à-vis Nepal. She concludes that the internal political system characterized by the political instability, traditional caste system, class system, fatalism, foreign aid and donor interest and traditionally-oriented bureaucracy have been some of the key factors for the underdevelopment of Nepal. Ms.Sujan Ghimire, in her article entitled "Macro Development and Micro Social Processes: Development as Discourse in Nepal", cogently argues that to understand development processes, examining aid impacts at local level is as important as studying the impacts of development at the macro level. She has tried to explore the intended and unintended impacts of Finnish aid in the Nepali forestry sector and link the impacts of aid at macro level with processes at the micro level following a genre of thought, known as post-development. She has inferred from the post-development writings that different social processes are set off by development at local levels. For her, understanding the context is crucial to ascertain the impacts of development aid. Ms. Mina Uprety and Ms. Sikshya Adhikary, in their paper entitled "Perceptions and Practices of Society Towards Single Women in the Context of Nepal", focus on problems faced by single women and specifically the widows in the context of Nepal. They argue that the problems faced by widows in Nepal are broadly related to the problems of gender relation. As widows, the social perceptions and practices towards them are much more severe in comparison to other categories of women. The patriarchical ideologies and male domination in social practices have imposed barriers to their happiness. However, they observe that circumstance is now slowly but unquestionably changing with new options, opportunities and hope for them to emancipate from patriarchical domination. +
John Gray, in his paper entitled "The Anthropology of Tacit Knowledge in the Domestic Mandala: A Case Study of Chhetris in the Kathmandu Valley", tries to illustrate the tacit knowledge among the Chhetris, their equivalences between various planes of existence, the activities of everyday domestic life and the places where they take place (which are multifaceted such as corporeal, social and cosmological). He argues that their houses are multifaceted because they are the places to live their daily lives, they are maps of the cosmos, and they are machines for revelatory knowledge. +
SOCIAL INCLUSION: POLICIES AND PRACTICES IN NEPAL Om Gurung * Introduction Social inclusion is one of the most vibrant issues raised strongly by indigenous peoples, women, Madhesi, Dalits and other marginalized communities in Nepal. At present, this issue has been a political agenda among political leaders, a subject of academic discourse among intellectuals and a field of development priority among development practitioners. Given the fact that the present state is exclusionary, non- participatory and non-representative and discriminates against indigenous peoples, women, Madhesis, Dalits and other marginalized communities on the basis of caste, ethnicity, language, religion, sex, class and geographical territory, these marginalized peoples and communities are demanding for a inclusive state through its restructuring along the line of federalism on the basis of national regional autonomy. For this purpose the election of constituent assembly has served as a legitimate and democratic process in present day Nepal. Demographic Overview in Nepal Nepal is a country of great cultural diversity. The racial, ethnical, cultural, linguistic and religious diversities have characterized Nepal as what Toni Hagen (1961:59) calls "the ethnic turn-table of Asia". The national census of 2001 has identified 102 caste and ethnic communities and 92 languages and dialects in Nepal. These caste and communities are broadly divided * Om Gurung holds Ph. D. in Anthropology from Cornell University of Ithaca, New York. He is one of the founding faculty members of the Central Department of Sociology/Anthropology of Tribhuvan University at Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal. Currently, he is a Professor of Anthropology and Head of the Central Department. +
2 Occasional Papers, Vol 11 into two major ethnic groups: the Indo-Aryan language speaking Caucasoid group and Tibeto-Burman language speaking Mongoloid group. The former group belongs to the Hindu caste communities while the latter group belongs to the indigenous nationalities of Nepal. As per the national census of 2001, Bahuns and Chhetris constitute 30.9 percent, indigenous peoples constitute 37.2 percent, Madhesis constitute 14.8 percent, Dalits constitute 11.8 percent and religious minorities and other unidentified group constitute 5.3 percent of the total population of 2.27 million. On the basis of religion, 80 percent of Nepal's total population is reported to be Hindus and 10 percent as Buddhists. The rest percentage of the population belongs to the Kirants, Muslims, Christians, Jains and other unidentified minority religious groups. The predominance of Hindu population is due to long political dominance of a theocratic Hindu state (Gurung, 2003). The Hindu caste people are of plain origin. They fled th th away to Nepal from India in early 12 and 13 centuries to escape from Muslin invasion in India. Most indigenous peoples are of hill and mountain origin who came to settle in Nepal from Tibet long time back. Geographically, we find more indigenous people in the hill and mountains (25) than in Tarai (18), whereas we find many caste groups in the Tarai (41) than in the hill (9). We do not find any caste groups in the mountain region. Status of MDGs in Nepal In the history of the planned development efforts, the Government of Nepal included, for the first time, policies and programs related to the development of indigenous peoples, women, Mdhesis, Dalits and other marginalized communities in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. In this Plan, the government has admitted its weaknesses to accommodate these communities in the mainstream development programs of the country. It has considered indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities as development partners. But in practice, these communities did not participate in the development planning and programming of the Ninth Five-Year Plan because the government never consulted them. The Tenth Five-Year Plan was the Poverty Reduction Strategy Program for Nepal that identified human development and social inclusion as one of the four main pillars of the poverty reduction strategy with objectives to: (i) improve access to and quality in primary education and (ii) provide +
OM GURUNG: Social Inclusion: Policies and Practices... 3 primary education in mother languages of the communities. But the government did not look honest and serious to implement the development programs for these communities. Instead, its development programs displaced indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities from their lands and territories. The land reform program, for example, converted the Tharu and Madhesis from land owing communities to Kamaiyas (bonded labourers) in western Tarai. The establishment of National Parks in Nepal has displaced indigenous Chepangs, Botes, Majhis, Darais, Rajis and Mushars communities from their land and territories. The community forestry program, a model of the most successful community-based development program in Nepal, has deprived many indigenous peoples off their customary use rights of forest resources. This has not only affected the economic life of the local communities but also their traditional knowledge, skill, technology, beliefs and practices which, in turn, has affected their ethnic identity. The report of National Living Standards Survey (NLSS) 2003/ 2004 shows that indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities have access to social services and other economic opportunities far behind the national average. For example, the national poverty rate is 31 percent, but 44 percent indigenous peoples, 46 percent Dalits and 41.4 percent Muslims are below poverty line. The national per capita income of high caste Hindu Bahuns and Chhetris is Rs. 18,400. But indigenous peoples' per capita is Rs.13,300, Madhesis' Rs. 10, 461, Dalits' Rs. 9,202 and Muslims' Rs. 8,483. The national literacy rate of Nepal is 53 percent, but it is 48.8 percent among indigenous peoples, 21.3 percent among women, 36 percent among Dalits, 32 percent among Madhesi and 27 percent among Muslims. Indigenous peoples occupy 12 percent of the administrative works, Madhesis occupy 5 percent, Dalits occuly 1.3 percent and religious minorities occupy only 1.1 percent. The majority of women work in informal sectors of subsistence economy. Indigenous peoples, women, Madhesis and Dalits sell their labour as production workers on daily wage basis to support their subsistence economy. On an average, indigenous peoples and other marginalized communites hold less than 0.5ha of agricultural land. Women manage land, but they do not hold any lands in their name as men control and own land and other properties in a patriarchical Nepali society. The available data show that +

GCSE Results Day: Almost 75 per cent of all grades at a 'pass' says Rotherhithe's Bacon's College
"The students should be given huge credit for the way they have worked and persevered," said the school
Bacon's College in Timber Pond Road, Rotherhithe Image: Google Maps
Three-quarters of pupils at Rotherhithe's Bacon's College have achieved at least a Grade 4 in English and Maths, as the school hails a "strong set" of results.
The school on Timber Pond Road said the results achieved this year will enable "the vast majority" of pupils to take their next step in education, employment or training.
Almost three-quarters of all grades were at a 'pass', with nearly half being at a Grade 5 or above, the equivalent of a "strong pass."
"Whilst there has been a great deal of uncertainty over the last few weeks, the students should be given huge credit for the way they have worked and persevered through a huge range of personal and practical challenges – these results are a fair and accurate reflection of their abilities and talents," the school said.
"They have been ably supported by dedicated and hard-working teachers and support staff who have themselves had to adapt with skill and speed to the constant changes imposed on them, with further changes occurring only within the last twenty-four hours."
The school highlighted a number of 'exceptional' performances from Year 11 pupils, including:
Vivian C who achieved seven Grade 9s and three Grade 8s
Jibola A scored seven Grade 9s and two Grade 8s
Tiger C's results saw him score six Grade 8s and four Grade 7s
Chanel F has received six Grade 9s and four Grade 8s
And Ellie H who has received two Grade 9s and six Grade 7s

Clarified the circumstances for when cards on the table are discarded.
Clarified how cards qualify for goals.
Clarified how goals are acquired.

When you play a Ship card between two Ponies already on the grid, you choose one of their powers to activate.
Added the version to the bottom of the cards.
Death to the PG version! Or rather to the PG-13 version. The core deck is now entirely PG, and there is no need to have separate versions.
Titles: lower/uppercase 'A' conflicts. Pick one!
"Quiet Game" needs a redraw.
Trixie has the Villain keyword but Gilda doesn't. What constitutes a villain?
The PDF is cut off about 5px on the Right and Bottom.


@DaveyK65 could you show me how you converted the angular 1 delegate to angular 2? I tried converting but still no avail.
I am trying to use ons-lazy-repeat with angular 5, and it appears to be not working right. First thing I found out is to reset the list with new data, I had to first set the array to empty and then a half a second later set the array to the final values.


Lock in a great price for INNSIDE by Meliá Prague Old Town (Formally Hotel UNIC Prague) – rated 9.4 by recent guests!
The breakfast was excellent and staff were friendly. Everything was very clean and organized. Location made it easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go!
Awesome time here, location is what makes this hotel.
I love the overall interior design of this boutique hotel, including the room and breakfast area. It was really cosy and clean. I'd come back to this hotel if I were to return to Prague. Highly recommended.
Perfect location 5min walk from old town. Interior design is lovely, everything looks fancy. Breakfast was various and delicious, with good food quality, with good service. WiFi was good. The bed was super comfy for me, but may seem too soft for some people, I suppose. The hotel did not pre-authorize any money in advance or ask for any deposit (like a lot of hotels tend to)- this is what I expect from good customer relations service. One of the best hotels in Prague I have ever stayed, I will definitely stay here again.
Fresh fruit and fresh bread were my favorites at breakfast! The fact that they speak multiple languages is another wonderful thing! Beds super comfortable and had my bathtub as requested!
Very friendly staff. Our room was large, quite and cozy! Breakfast was excellent!
The breakfast was super good and its location was perfect.
EXCELLENT hot breakfast included. Best in any hotel I've visited. Great location. Safe and quiet with great staff.

Stayed here for my 30th birthday trip to Prague. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming and even organised a little birthday cake as a surprise at breakfast! Food was always exceptional and there was plenty of choice. Our room was small but very clean, modern and comfortable with a lovely bathroom and powerful waterfall shower. The hotel was also perfectly positioned location wise - we walked everywhere and found it so easy to get around. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!
Spectacular hotel with excellent breakfast. All staff super kind and helpful. Among the best hotels I've stayed at in my travels.
Amazing room, tasty breakfast, excellent location, and cute details! Thank you so much for making my birthday a memorable one.
Extremely comfortable room with everything you could need. The included breakfast was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Great breakfast (but repetitive with little changes); staff was great!
Staff all very friendly and helpful and position good for all the main attractions also rooms comfortable and clean. I would certainly reccommend to friends and family.
Disappointed that there was a surcharge for breakfast basics like an omlette. The wifi needs upgrading, painfully slow( could have just been my room) . One morning, our room was cleaned even though we had not yet put up the make up room sign,was a bit disappointed at this as i had left my valuables out.
Friendly staff, fantastic breakfast, flexible...we booked spontaneous one night more and it was no problem.
The air conditioning in the bedrooms. It dries out the air and can be difficult to regulate leading to room being too hot at night. Both times I've stayed here, I've left with a sore throat and cough.


Taylor Pendrith finished first in the local qualifier at Weston Golf and Country Club in Toronto.
The first week of US Open local qualifiers is in the books with a slough of Canadians advancing to sectional qualifiying. Local qualifiers will still take place across the U.S.A for another week before sectional qualifiers start on May 21, where participants will compete for a spot to play at the 118th US Open at Shinnecock Hills.
Matt Lemay and Sean O'Hara were pegged as alternates out of the Victor, New York local qualifier.
David Rose was the medalist at the beautiful Indian Ridge grove course in Palm Desert California.
Devin Carrey advanced after shooting a 69 at the Meridian Valley Golf Club in Kent, Washington.
The local Canadian qualifier at Weston Golf and Country Club yielded some familiar faces who are moving on to the sectional qualifiers. The four qualifiers were Taylor Pendrith (69), Waterloo Warrior amateur Tyson Turchanski, Stephane Dubois (70) and teaching pro at The National Nick Kenney. The alternates were Canadians Thomas Code and James Seymour.
The qualifier at Beechmont Country Club in Cleveland Ohio yielded two Canadian qualifiers as Luke Moser fired a four under, 67 to advance as the co medalist. PGA TOUR Latino America member Derek Gillespie also advanced with a three under, 68.
There is still another week of qualifiers for players from across the world to try and advance to sectional qualifying. Meanwhile there are also Canadian PGA Tour pros who are exempt through to sectionals. While the lone Canadian who is exempt into the US Open field is Adam Hadwin who is currently 44th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), with the top 60 earning exemptions into the 118th US Open!


Jaipuria students have always had the belief that they can make a dent in the universe with their actions, achievements and positive thoughts. From a very young age, we encourage students to partake tasks that will bring about transformation to the society at large. They do this by having a sense of ownership and accountability towards one's own passion. We believe that the sole purpose of Education is make the new generation think and do things different from the current one and instill new attitudes and values relevant to fast changing world. All we do is provide an environment that is very vibrant, different, and dynamic in every aspect. The rest automatically flows, with each child realizing his or her true calling.
During the summer holidays, we randomly grabbed hold of few of our Alumni from the flagship campus, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow. And, it made us proud beyond words with everything that they have done in life, and continue doing so! We invited a them to share their experience with current Jaipurians. Inspiring, to say the least, as to what these young-adults have done!
These full of life youngsters shared their experiences and the challenges they faced during their school years and how school helped them in becoming a successful individual, but most importantly, how the school instilled values in them for life to become a good human being, and no matter what the circumstances, to always stay grounded.
Ashutosh Agarwal created history by getting off campus recruitment by one of the world's largest corporations, Google. He has already completed a three month internship at New York is now ready to join his full time assignment. He is being paid an enormous amount of money, but he only cares about being the best programmer that he can be, so that he can help the society!
He says: "My school has been instrumental in identifying the programmer in me. I was given access to computers and programming pretty early in life. My teachers gave me a plethora of opportunities to dream big, hone my skills and reach where I am now. I have tried to stay humble. Thank you to the school for everything".
His Message to our readers is "Dream big and Aim high".
Her message to our readers:- "All I would like to say is that the sense of belonging and pride that Jaipuria inculcates in you is unparalleled. While it offers you opportunities, it is up to you to make the most of them".
KhushbuKirtipassed out of school in 2016 and has now joined DU pursuing her BA (Hons) in English. Incidentally, she was the ICSE Topper from the school, and one of the highest ranked in the city and state.
"I joined in Class 11 but the school has been so important in making me who I am today that it seems I've spent a decade here. I had come to this institution for a mere change of atmosphere (from my prior institute), expecting a few significant changes in my personality. Little did I know that Jaipuria would metamorphose me into a confident orator, a writer and an organizer. I am going to get my poetry book printed and had Jaipuria not encouraged me to keep improving my writing skills, I would not have been able to achieve this today. I had also organized on the 17th of July, along with some friends, an all-city musical charity Event where funds were raised for cancer patients. Rest, I've just begun my college and I hope I'd keep making my school proud of me.
Her message for the readers: I'd say that it was an honour on my part to be a part of such a tremendous institute and it made me learn things that have been very useful in my life. From friendly and supportive staff to the humongous number of opportunities that the school offers, it is definitely going to be an indelible experience for anyone who is a part of Jaipuria.
This is just the start; we will continue to bring snippets of our tete-a-tete with Alumni, teachers, parents and all stake-holders through this space, and also social networks.

Q: [__NSArrayI objectAtIndex:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x7fbdae1a2080 In tableView I have a few objects that are showing up just fine. However when I interact with the list and scroll down (forward) the app will crash. I have never seen this before and am not aware of why this is happening. I am using a 3rd party calendar in combination with my code, I figured I should mention this but I do not see this being the main issue.
#import "VRGViewController.h"

@interface VRGViewController ()

@end

@implementation VRGViewController{
    NSArray *calendarTableData;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
  [super viewDidLoad];
  // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

  VRGCalendarView *calendar = [[VRGCalendarView alloc] init];
  calendar.delegate=self;
  calendar.center = self.view.center;
  [self.view addSubview:calendar];

  calendarTableData = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Egg Benedict", @"Mushroom Risotto",nil];

}

-(void)calendarView:(VRGCalendarView *)calendarView switchedToMonth:(int)month targetHeight:(float)targetHeight animated:(BOOL)animated {
if (month==[[NSDate date] month]) {
    NSArray *dates = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:1],[NSNumber numberWithInt:5], nil];
    [calendarView markDates:dates];
}
}

-(void)calendarView:(VRGCalendarView *)calendarView dateSelected:(NSDate *)date {
NSLog(@"Selected date = %@",date);
}

#pragma mark - User Defined Methods

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return [calendarTableData count];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = @"Services";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [calendarTableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

return cell;
}

@end

A: You have to declare your datasource the following way:
calendarTableData = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"Egg Benedict",
                                                    @"Mushroom Risotto",nil];

A: The issue was coming from how I was calling my array.
Since I was using 3rd party code I had disable ARC. Which was causing my issue with how I was calling my array of objects. Thank you to @meda for helping provide me with the answer - after I implemented it I then realized where I was wrong

The time period pragmatism is derived from the Greek phrase pragma which suggests action, from which phrases like follow and practical have been derived. Let us assume, as we've got been doing, that philosophy could also be analytical, speculative, or narrative and remember that it is usually occurring in a society during which there already is an educational system. No matter if you develop it or why, writing your philosophy of teaching assertion is a chance for private development and development, so take your time and create one thing you are proud of. For instance, suppose an individual has obtained a medical training but now needs to make ethical selections about possible remedies for a few of his or her sufferers.
They can also emerge from—and be enhanced considerably by-the examine of previous and present philosophers of schooling. Rousseau's philosophy of schooling finest ensures that the pupil will take up data and ideas. Subjects he explicitly mentions as being important included reading, writing and mathematics; music; bodily schooling; literature and history; and a variety of sciences.
I additionally suppose that he was overly insistent on his personal method of philosophy being the only acceptable one but that is typical of a huge variety of philosophers. Finally, bilingual schooling ought to encourage household involvement and faucet into the funds of knowledge that college students and their households carry into the classroom. If increased schooling in America is to fulfill its capabilities, it's important that the contributions of philosophy as a central branch of studying be totally understood.
There is often an overlap between philosophy and any other subject so I'm sure you will come across the prospect to do each sometimes. First of all, one of the targets of bilingual education ought to be to develop and maintain college students' excessive levels of proficiency and literacy in their native and second language, whereas studying within the content areas. There are at the least two other reasons for the worth of philosophy graduate packages. Carlos Castenada's books are about as shut as I need to get to reading philosophy per se. Later! The Montessori model can be used for training throughout center or high school. Nel Noddings is Lee L. Jacks Professor of Education Emerita at Stanford University.
Moreover, conventional training , and age old believes about education have their origin in Plato's philosophy, so it's only by a research of Plato that one can understand these things proper on the supply. It would appear to me that this excessive A=A Objectivist absolutism would promote a really saddening society whereas everyone solely cared for their very own pursuits and happiness. According to him, schooling is a excessive adjustment of a bodily and intellectually developed acutely aware particular person to his intellectual, emotional and volitional atmosphere. The scope of philosophy of schooling is concerned with the issues of education.

I managed to see most of the partial eclipse this morning from Bristol. A window of broken cloud opened up about 15 minutes after the first contact and stayed until pretty much the very end, so I'm happy. It was raining about 10 minutes before the eclipse was about to start, but thankfully that blew over. Above (as well as here and here) are some pictures that I grabbed during the eclipse.
Like the animation. Very cool. I got clouded out in the last quarter of the eclipse. Still, the first half was excellent and I had fun getting some pictures.
I saw the whole thing just as you filmed it from Devizes.
I was tempted to do an animation but decided to try different lenses instead.
Lets hope we get good weather for the Lunar Eclipse on the 16th August.
Stunning work Will. Great clarity in the shot. I wish I was back in Bristol to catch the event, unfortunately I was a little too far west in LA during the eclipse. Oh well.


All remnants of the Chateau Theatre's life as a bookstore have been removed in preparation for the building's next chapter.
On Monday, members of the media were invited in for a tour of the building, which has sat empty since Barnes and Noble moved out in 2015.
The goal is to have the theater reconditioned for future activation by June of this year. The city is now in the process of reviewing proposals from five groups to determine how the 92-year-old building could be used.
Acknowledging there is a great deal of anticipation from the public, Lisa Clarke, executive director of the Destination Medical Center EDA, said she is excited for the building to open back up for community events.
"It will no longer sit here with the lights off and doors closed," said Clarke.
Since January, crews led by Benike Construction have been working to remodel the interior of the space. The work has included modifications to the wiring, lighting and facade. Original elements, including the Renaissance-themed walls, have been covered with protective wrapping in order to preserve the historic character of the site.
Roofing work, officials said, will begin the second week of April.
Once open, the Chateau will have a maximum capacity of 390 people. That number, according to Park and Rec's Mike Nigbur, is based on the number of bathrooms and the width of the exit doors.
The next step for the Chateau is determining which of the five proposals received by the city should move forward for recommendation to the Rochester City Council. Those proposals include an arcade, a space for traveling exhibits, and a meeting/entertainment venue.
The council is expected to decide on a proposal in June. Nigbur said there will likely be a gap between renovation work and eventual activation by one of the five groups, though he noted there may be opportunities for community programming in the interim.
The Chateau is the most prominent symbol in a wave of changes taking place in Peace Plaza. Two new businesses are set to open in the plaza this summer: Moka coffee shop and Jerk King restaurant. Renovation work on the adjacent Wells Fargo building is also expected to begin this year.
