'We Should understand that reservation is not a poverty alleviation scheme'
By venu | on February 17, 2019 | 0 Comment
INTERVIEW – K.VEERAMANI
It is meant to set right the injustice meted out to the oppressed, says DK leader Economic criteria are very volatile. They may change over time
Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) president K. Veeramani has been highly critical of the Centre's move to provide 10% reservation for the economically weaker sections in the general category, and is set to challenge it in the Madras High Court. In an interview on Sunday, he answered a range of questions on the new quota, the DMK and the AIADMK. Excerpts:
What is your justification for opposing the 10% quota for economically weaker sections in the Open Competition category?
– Our Constitution does not provide for reservation based on the economic conditions of citizens. Such a provision has been made only for the socially and educationally backward classes. The 10% quota on the basis of economic conditions is unconstitutional and unethical. Even Article 46 of our Constitution provides for the State's special care only for weaker sections, the SCs and STs in particular. We should understand that reservation is not a poverty alleviation scheme. It is meant for setting right the injustice meted out to the socially oppressed sections of society. This [10% quota] will not stand judicial scrutiny.
An earlier attempt by the erstwhile Congress government to provide such a quota was made through a Government Order. But this time, the BJP has brought about a Constitutional amendment…
– The BJP may say that it has introduced an Act. But it has no right to change the basic structure of the Constitution. This issue comes under the basic structure of the Constitution. You cannot touch it. Economic criteria are not there in the Constitution.
But don't you think discrimination has taken new forms now, besides caste? We are talking about caste discrimination, but what about class discrimination?
– In our country, discrimination is primarily based on caste. A person may be rich today and may become [poor] tomorrow and vice versa. But once you are born into a caste, it doesn't change even after your death, as there are caste-based graveyards. Economic criteria are very volatile. They may change over time.
Periyar E.V. Ramasamy was for proportional representation of opportunities based on the population of caste groups. That way, he was for quota for every caste…
– Yes, we are for proportional representation. But this 10% quota brought about by the BJP is primarily aimed at benefitting a section of the upper castes.
Despite opposing the 10% quota, the DMK is still in an alliance with the Congress, which supported the quota. Don't you think the DMK is putting politics above principles?
– No. This is only one of the problems. Unity in diversity is more important. Who should come to power and who shouldn't is important…because [Prime Minister] Modi has not delivered at all.
The AIADMK, a major Dravidian party, is said to be divided over joining hands with the BJP for the Lok Sabha polls. Your comments…
– The present AIADMK is not like the old AIADMK. It is like an amoeba, which is shapeless. When she [late CM Jayalalithaa] was around, there was leadership. There is no leadership [now]. [Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha] Thambi Durai strongly opposed [the 10% quota] but didn't vote against it and decided to abstain. They are playing a double game. There is a leadership crisis there. Though officially, they are against the 10% quota, they are not strongly opposing it. So, they are not a Dravidian party. A Dravidian party is one that is for social justice.
There are claims that Dalit voices have been left out of the Dravidian movement…
– No, no. There is some misrepresentation and misunderstanding [in this matter]. Real Dalit leaders owe their existence only to the Dravidian movement. Even now, the Dravidian movement encompasses all sections of people. It is meant more for the oppressed and the downtrodden. Some people have been advancing a systematic, false propaganda that the Dravidian parties have nothing to do with Dalits.
Is the DK active in States other than Tamil Nadu?
– For the DK, principles are important, not its name. Aren't there reservations in those States? Our philosophy has reached other States. I have been invited to a seminar by the Backward Classes Commission in Kerala on January 28 over this (10%) reservation.

'Economically Weaker Sections',Nowhere defined!
In the 'objects and Reasons' column of the Constitution (124th Amendment) Bill points out Article 46 of the Indian Constitution (Part IV-Directive Principles of State Policy) that speaks about the promotion of education and economic interests of Schedule Castes, Schedule Tribes and other weaker sections. Article 46 says in clear cut terms the economic interests of other weaker sections and not the economically weaker sections. Who are the weaker sections? Nowhere it is defined. The Article narrates the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes along with other weaker sections, meaning the others who have been historically put at subjugation. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar names such categories of subjugated masses as 'servile classes'. It will not cover the so called 'economically weaker sections' to whom the 10 per cent reservation based on the economic criterion has been proposed.
Besides, the Sinho Commission report 2010 which the Centre has been citing as the basis for the present 10 per cent legislation for reservation never recommended a reservation for EWSs but was only emphatic about ensuring that the EWS get access to all welfare measures. (not reservation)

I Love Cookies! Do You?
My weakness is a good old chocolate chip cookie – or most any cookie in general and that's why I don't keep them in the house. So when my husband came up with this healthy cookie treat I was shocked that I actually liked it. He is an excellent cook, but I am the better baker. Goes to show you, one can be proven wrong at any time. I loved his Banana Oat Cookie Concoction and was sold!
This healthy cookie treat has only 4 ingredients. The best part about it was that it satisfied my cookie craving without all the horrible ingredients that cookies so often contain – like sugar and flour. The dark chocolate chips (used sparingly) made it feel like a decadent treat and insured that my young children would give it a chance.
They store well in the fridge and also taste great out of the oven. Give it a try and you just may find it's a great cookie substitute when you have a hankering for a cookie but don't want to load your body with low energy ingredients and high calories.


It was a clear and warm evening in Santa Clara. The 1-7 Raiders were taking on the 1-7 49ers. It was the Battle of the Bay, the last time these two teams would face each other in the Bay Area. 49ers QB C.J. Beathard was scratched from the starting lineup allowing 3rd string QB, Nick Mullens' to start. Here's a few highlights on how he did for his first NFL Career start.
Matt Breida also added 44 yards on 12 Carries. The 49ers running game ended with 32 Carries for 143 yards. That's how you run by committee.
Nick Mullen's looked like he's been starting QB for 10 years by finding holes and dicing up the Oakland Raiders defense. Mullen's finished 16/22 for 262 yards with 3 Touchdowns to Garçon, Bourne and Kittle. For his first start, Mullen's ended with 151.9. The perfect QB rating is 153.6. You be the judge.
George Kittle lead the team with 108 yards off of 4 catches.
Pierre Garçon and Kendrick Bourne each had a touchdown reception.
The defense had 5 sacks – Cassius Marsh 2.5, 1.5 by Dekota Watson, and Deforest Buckner and Ronald Blair each had a sack. The defense held the Oakland Raiders to 3 points.
Overall, the San Francisco 49ers played together as a team by defeating the Oakland Raiders 34-3. Can the niners keep the momentum going and defeat the New York Giants?
Is Christian Benteke Enough Bang for his Buck?

SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has instructed bike-sharing firm oBike to work with its liquidator to remove its bicycles from public spaces by Jul 4, the authority announced on Thursday (Jun 28). LTA said the instruction was made so that public streets would not be cluttered with bicycles that cannot be hired.
"Should there be unremoved oBike bicycles after this date, LTA will progressively remove these bicycles from public spaces," it said.
"oBike or its liquidator will have to pay the relevant towing and storage fees in order to claim impounded bicycles from LTA. In addition, LTA and CASE have emphasised to oBike the importance of refunding users their deposits which were placed earlier with the company," it added.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) released the statement after it engaged oBike on its exit plans, amid concerns that its fleet of about 14,000 bicycles is currently left abandoned on streets, pavements and parks all over the country.
In a shock move, the bike-sharing operator announced on Monday that it had stopped operations in Singapore, citing difficulties in meeting the new requirements put in place by LTA to tackle indiscriminate parking.
CONSUMERS WILL BE UNABLE TO PURSUE LEGAL CLAIM AGAINST OBIKE: CASE
In a separate statement on Thursday, the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) announced that as of 5pm, it had received 772 complaints from oBike customers asking for deposit refunds. The majority of the complaints were lodged over the last four days, CASE added.
CASE also said that as soon as oBike's liquidation commences, there will be a stay of proceedings on litigation action and customers will not be able to proceed with any claims against the company.
"Once the company is in liquidation, affected consumers should file their Proofs of Debt against oBike with the appointed liquidator. Consumers should also attach copies of any relevant receipts or other supporting documents to the Proof of Debt form," it added.
The watchdog added that, as a general principle, it encourages consumers to minimise their prepayments or deposits where possible, as their advance payment may be lost in the event of an abrupt business closure.
"Consumers who have reservations about paying a deposit may wish to consider other bike-sharing options that do not require a deposit payment or reduce their risk by choosing a per use option, where they pay a small amount of money each time they use the bike-sharing service," CASE said.

We're All Refugees
I know you are horrified by the recent attacks in Paris.
I'm horrified too.
I know you are fearful of something similar happening in your country (and maybe not for the first time).
I have that fear too.
I know that many people are experiencing the gut-reaction of being emotionally kicked in the stomach. You want to curl into a ball and ward off the pain. You want to hold out your hands in protest to make it stop. To cease. To go back to the way things were.
I know that feeling too.
And yes, I have seen the posts and blogs and "news reports" that are angry, up-in-arms, full of national kick-butt-ary: "heck no, you can't come here and no one wants you so just go back to your own country and get what you deserve for being born into your cultural group."
In the natural, I have felt that way too.
But I'm not called to live in the natural. I'm called to live out of the nature of Christ.
And I feel this rising up in that supernatural realm of a profound compassion for the sad and sorry state of this world of ours. There is so much brokenness -- for the victims and families of this horrific attack, in the heart-muscle-memory of those of us who have experienced terrorist attacks in our own countries, and yes, even for those who are operating out of misguided theology and belief systems.
Yes, I have a sense of compassion even for them. Because I believe Jesus is full of compassion for all of us in this crazy, tangled web of sin and sorrow.
But my heart is grieved by the venom and vitrol that I see being spewed out all over social media against the refugees of Syria and other countries whose people are still fleeing persecution and for their very lives. And so much of it is coming from fellow Christians.
The petitions that are circulating to keep countries and states and neighborhood from accepting these people are a means for us to control things and to feel safe and to keep terror from invading our shores on a massive scale.
But I don't believe in it.
Because at the heart of it all, our attempts at control fail. Sin gets in. Terror seems to be having free reign.
A signed piece of legislation and closing our borders will not change that. Because this is a spiritual issue.
Do I believe that some radicals have slipped in with some of the refugees arriving in Lesbos over the past few months?
Undoubtedly.
Do I believe that papers have been forged and plans have been made to deceive, kill and destroy?
Do I believe that an entire group of persecuted people should be shoved from shorelines, tossed some provisions and sent back across the sea?

And this is why....because we're all refugees.
For the majority of us, our "people" came from somewhere else at some point in time. For some, it's been hundreds of years, for others, only a handful of months.
The trouble comes when we feel like we have earned our place in the country we call home. That it is our divine right and we deserve to be here because...well, we are here.
The truth is that we are very, very blessed to live in countries that are virtual safe havens in comparison to the rest of the world. We haven't earned it. I'm not even sure we deserve it. But yet, here we are.
And in being here, do we then have the right to deny what we have been so richly given to someone else because we are fearful that they might be a terrorist inside the Trojan Horse of a refugee?
I was struck today by a short video that shows a reporter documenting an exchange between a father and young son about the Paris attacks.
The young boy is fearful and trying to understand how to protect against such brutality. What is the most striking is the ethnicity of these two and the fluency of the French language they are speaking. France is their home. They are obviously not native frenchman, but they are frenchmen nonetheless.
What would have happened if they would have been denied entry into France due to fear? The world would have missed out on this poignant moment and reminder that love and compassion conquers brutality and that we are all foreigners and aliens.
Do we honestly believe that all of those families arriving soaking wet and cold in rubber boats on rocky shores -- holding crying babies, terrorized toddlers and bleary-eyed children -- are just waiting to settle in so they can blow up the western world?
And yes...I realize it's not that simple.
But the world we live in is not a simple place.
Fighting the urge to slam the gates shut, bar the doors, and stand with weapons drawn may be our toughest fight yet.
Because it still gets in. Sin gets in. Terrorists terrorize. No safety measure, screening or naturalization process can be 100% effective. I understand that.
But what about the terror within our own borders? What about the disenfranchized teens that burst into schools and slaughter classmates? What about deranged middle-aged men who set off bombs in crowded Olympic villages? What about theology-warped preachers who brainwash their flocks, lock them into a building and pass around the poison?
It's not about country, culture, religion, the color of your skin, or even ISIS.
It's about sin -- plain and simple.
What if instead of building moats and trebuchets, we got down on our knees and asked God to intervene and build bridges through His Son?
What if we did the unnatural thing of remaining open and watchful, but asked and then expected God to supernaturally change hearts and minds of those bent on destruction?
What if we all rose up and picked up our spiritual armor and weapons and then went out into the world bringing His truth, deliverance, redemption, healing and transformative power?
Do we truly believe that a terrorist could come face to face with the Son of God and be redeemed and instead of blowing up buildings, he would begin to blow up the plans of the Enemy?
What if we launched a cleverly-devised, Holy Spirit-inspired battle campaign of our own?
What if we completely turned this thing on its proverbial head and instead of fearing invaders, we welcomed them because we know we possess the only thing that could neutralize their evil plots and plans?
What if we could be agents of Jesus Christ -- turning terrorists into testimonies?
I believe it's possible. And I believe it's the very heart of our Father God.
But is is probable?
I believe even now we as believers have a choice to make -- whether we are going to partner with fear and hopelessness and shut the doors of our hearts, homes and countries, or whether we are going to wedge the doors of our hearts open with the knowledge of the amazing grace in our own lives and the understanding of who we are in Him and the power that we can and should operate out of.
The Church needs to rise up. We have been commanded not to fear -- over and over again in the scriptures. And if the world has ever needed the recently battered, mocked, and all-too-often complacent Church, it's for a time such as this.
Because we have what our bruised, bleeding and confused world needs.
Power.
Authority.
Miracles.
Confidence in a mighty God who is not blind and hears the cries of the oppressed of this world.
May we not become oppressors in our attempts to guard and protect our own way of life.
May we choose to remember the heart-breaking image of the toddler face down in the sandy shore of a broken dream of escaping to a better life, rather than the images from the carnage of recent days.
Because honestly, we are all refugees. We long to flee this crumbling, dying world for an enternal home in Heaven with no more tears and no more suffering. This world is not our home. Our homes and our countries are only a temporary camp as we wait for the eternal.
This one beautiful life is ours to either be activated agents of His grace and power, or merely security guards desperately trying to protect against invaders.
Which do you choose?

We hired Victor for a day trip from Santiago to Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. Victor was a great guide, full of social, political and cultural information about Chile, with a running informative narrative as he drove us safely to and from. He gave us time to ourselves for lunch, coffee and tourist stops. Prompt, flexible, accommodating, with a great sense of humor and an engaging personality that put us at ease. I would highly recommend him as a personal tour guide.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Oh! What a review Steven!, I'm very glad you have enjoyed all what we did here. So I hope we can keep in touch and please give my regards to your wife and I wish you had a great tournament celebration with your grandougther. ¡Hasta la vista amigos!

Vice president labels impeachment a 'constitutional coup'
Vice President Dr. Mohamed Jameel has called his party's attempt to remove him a "constitutional coup" and suggested that the international community should intervene.
Speaking to the New Indian Express from London on Tuesday, Jameel said, "This is a constitutional coup in the guise of constitutional reforms."
The ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) submitted a resolution to impeach Jameel with cross-party support. A two-thirds majority or 57 votes is required to impeach the president or the vice-president.
The petition was submitted with 61 signatures. PPM MPs have publicly accused Dr. Jameel of incompetence and disloyalty.
"There is a complete disregard for parliamentary procedure just to get the tourism minister after me. This is personal vengeance," Jameel said.
Jameel, who reportedly sounded anxious, told the New Indian Express: "Friends of Maldives should step in..They understand what's happening."
When asked if he meant Indian government should intervene, he added: "I don't need to spell it out. But, it is clear what their role should be".
The vice president broke his long silence on the imminent impeachment with a statement on Twitter yesterday. "It is a violation of the people's rights when a party or an organization, at their whim, without any legal basis, removes an officer directly elected by them," he wrote.
He was not responding to calls at the time of going to press.
Senior party officials have said that they are seeking to replace Jameel with Tourism Minister Ahmed Adeeb.
Jameel denied allegations of incompetency and told the New Indian Express that he had been carrying out his duty as the President Abdulla Yameen had ordered him to.
"The President has to tell me that I have not performed properly, but he never told me that," he said.
Opposition politicians have meanwhile claimed President Yameen is fatally ill and wants a more loyal deputy ahead of a life threatening surgery. The government continues to deny rumors of the president's health.
In the statement on Twitter, Jameel accused the PPM parliamentary group of greed and said that MPs have arbitrarily amended the constitution for their personal interests.
The parliament last week passed the first amendment to the constitution with overwhelming multi-party consensus to set the new age limits of 30-65 years for the presidency and vice presidency. Adeeb is now 33. The constitution previously stated that candidates must be 35 years of age.
Dr Jameel left to Sri Lanka last week after President Yameen authorised a medical leave. A senior PPM MP told Minivan News that Jameel had departed to the UK without informing the president's office.
The MP said President Abdulla Yameen has asked the vice president to return to the Maldives and answer to the party's parliamentary group about his impeachment.
However, Jameel told New Indian Express that he obtained permission before travelling to the UK and that he was attending a human rights seminar in London.

Comment: In Jameel's defense
The vice president Dr Mohamed Jameel Ahmed left the Maldives last week amid preparations by his Progressive Party of the Maldives (PPM) to impeach him. After two days in Sri Lanka, Jameel reportedly left to the UK on Saturday without President Abdulla Yameen's permission.
Some ruling party MPs say Jameel has fled the country.
The PPM's justifications for Jameel's impeachment are vague. Some MPs have publicly accused him of disloyalty and incompetence. Others have said tourism minister Ahmed Adeeb is more suited for the job. "We do not want to hide what we want to do anymore. We are going to appoint tourism minister Ahmed Adeeb as the vice-president before July 26," one PPM MP has declared.
Meanwhile, rumors that President Yameen is fatally ill continue to persist. Opposition politicians say Yameen is seeking a trusted deputy ahead of a major surgery.
Impeaching a state's vice president is no small matter.
Jameel was elected. The election may not have been free or fair, but its outcome was largely accepted. By many accounts, Jameel was the face of the PPM's presidential campaign. Yameen was rarely seen in public, but Jameel walked door-to-door. He visited all the islands of the Maldives. Removing a vice-president amounts to overturning an election. It should only be undertaken for serious dereliction of duty.
If we allow Jameel to be voted out without debate, without a transparent and fair review of the charges against him, we are acquiescing to the most obscure of dictatorships.
Call your MP. Write letters to President Yameen. Demand answers.
Safe-guards
The Maldives constitution institutes several safeguards protecting the president and the vice-president from removal at the parliament's whims. Article 100 lays three ground for impeachment: direct violation of a tenet of Islam or the law, misconduct unsuited to the executive or the inability to perform the responsibilities of office.
The constitution also says the Majlis may set up an investigative committee to review reasons for impeachment, and grants the accused the opportunity for defense. It further states that a two-third majority, or 57 votes of the current 85-member house, is required to remove the president or the vice-president.
The Majlis is expected to eliminate one of these safeguards today. PPM wants to amend the Majlis standing orders so that it will not be required to investigate charges against the vice president.
It is true that the constitution does leave the matter of setting up an investigative committee at the parliament's discretion. However, even if an investigation does not take place, MPs must inform and convince us as to why Jameel must go.
Keep in mind, an impeachment is not the same as a vote of no confidence.
In parliamentary systems, prime ministers must enjoy the support of the majority to achieve office. The governments they head can fall if they lose a vote of no confidence, so they must preserve that support to stay in office.
But impeachment is a feature of presidential systems and requires a finding of extraordinary misconduct. As the separation of the executive and legislature is a fundamental aspect of the system, the impeachment process should never be used as a legislative vote of no confidence on the president or vice-president's conduct or policies.
Impeachable offenses
Does the PPM's charges against Jameel constitute impeachable offenses?
Speaking to Haveeru, one senior official accused Jameel of building an independent power-base by spending time with independent MPs. PPM parliamentary group leader MP Ahmed Nihan told Minivan News that Jameel had failed to publicly defend the government ahead of an opposition's protest on May 1. Still others have said he failed to show progress in the health and education sectors.
Meanwhile, Adeeb in a text message to PPM MPs this weekend, said that President Yameen needed to be given room "to rule this nation without internal resistance," and said "I have witnessed how difficult it is for HEP Yameen to rule with many frictions."
These charges fall far short of the standards prescribed in the constitution. Vague utterances on loyalty do not make a case for impeachment.
If MPs removed the president or the vice president, merely for conduct of which they disapprove of, it would violate their constitutional responsibilities.
Unimportant?
Some justify the vote to impeach Jameel by arguing that the position of the vice-president is not important. It is true that the vice president is only given the responsibilities and powers delegated to him by the president.
But the constitution also states that the vice president shall perform the responsibilities of the president if he is absent or temporarily unable to perform the responsibilities of office.
Many US vice-presidents have lamented the lack of meaningful work in their role. During his tenure as the first vice- president, John Adams remarked: "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that even the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."
But he also says that the vice president "is nothing, but may be everything."
US constitutional historian Lucius Wilmerding, writing in 1947 noted that even if the office of the vice president is unimportant, the officer or the individual serving as the vice president is certainly important.
For if the president becomes unable to perform his duties, then the vice-president will assume the presidency.
If rumors over President Yameen's health are true and if he is to undergo surgery, he will have to hand over the presidency to his deputy. This is precisely why Jameel was elected. In voting for Jameel, the public was in fact, choosing a possible president.
The Majlis must carefully consider the kind of misconduct that renders a president or vice president constitutionally unfit to remain in office. As several professors of law argued at the US House of Representatives ahead of a vote to impeach President Bill Clinton, the parliament's power to impeach, like a prosecutor's power to indict, is discretionary. Hence, this power must be exercised not for partisan advantage, but only when the circumstances genuinely justify the enormous price the country may have to pay in governance and stature.

A: As stated in this discussion, the suitable soulution in your case seems to be
cd [your project]
npm install -g n
sudo n stable
rm -rf node_modules/
rm -f package-lock.json
npm install

I really can't reproduce the error so I'm not 100% confident this is going to work but you can give it a try and let us know.°
I also think you can skip the installation of a stable node version so, if you already have one, just try the clean npm install.

A: For me I just move my project to C:/ and return to work. But if you need to maintain the project in another disk, you can do this:

*

*Go to your_project/node_modules/next/package.json

*Change local in _where (Local in package)

*Now you can start.

PS.: I don't know whats happening and a different form to change this package easily.
PS 2.: I google a lot, but didn't find anithing.

Did you know all the benefits of a Natural Salt Lamp? The negative salt ions released by heating can boost blood flow, improve sleep, increase levels of serotonin in the brain, and calm allergy or asthma symptoms. Besides these homeopathic perks, there's an added relaxation element. And what client doesn't want to be uber relaxed at a spa!?
By putting one in your treatment room, not only will the clients reap the benefits, but your staff too!
One-of-a-kind and absolutely beautiful, these natural salt lamps are hand-shaped from select chunks of the finest, most potent salt crystal in the world. However, these attractive lamps provide more than ambient, soothing light. Some users may experience homeopathic health benefits from using them --the most immediate and dramatic being for those suffering from respiratory allergies and/or asthma.
Note: Due to their natural and unique quality, each lamp will vary somewhat in both color and exact form. Coloring ranges from soothing apricot and peach to deep and fiery red and orange.
All lamps include a wooden base, a six-foot UL® Listed electrical cord with a bulb of between 7 and 40 watts, based on the lamp's size.
Size: 6"-8" tall, 7-10 lbs.
These attractive lamps provide more than ambient, soothing light. Some users may experience homeopathic health benefits from using them --the most immediate and dramatic being for those suffering from respiratory allergies and/or asthma.
There are several nice things to say about Himalayan Salt Lamps, including the fact that they are made with natural, sustainable Himalayan salt. In addition, the companies that mine the salt are socially responsible.
We have tons of options to choose from! On top of the benefits inside your spa, these make excellent retail items as well!


Discover Preview's hidden features for editing images and manipulating PDFs!
Apple bundles the Preview app with every Mac, but few people realize what it's capable of. The Mac experts behind TidBITS, Adam Engst and Josh Centers, have plumbed Preview's depths to create a cheerful, colorful book that explains dozens of techniques for importing, viewing, editing, and converting images in Preview. The book also puts you in control of reading, annotating, manipulating, and encrypting PDFs.
Packed with real-world examples and tips, the book teaches you how to bring files into Preview from a camera, iOS device, or scanner (or just from the Finder). Once you discover Preview's surprisingly capable collection of image-editing tools, you'll soon be editing imported photos by tweaking the exposure, color saturation, sharpness, and more. You can even mark up your images with circles, arrows, and text, plus numerous other shapes.
In the second part of the book, Adam and Josh focus on PDFs in Preview, describing how to configure Preview to make reading PDFs as fluid as possible. Since so many paper forms now come in PDF, the book shows you how to fill out PDF-based forms, complete with quick insertion of your digital signature. Those who read digital textbooks or who collaborate on documents will learn to annotate PDFs with highlights, notes, and bookmarks. You'll even learn how to create PDFs from a scanner, the clipboard, and the Print dialog. Finally, Adam and Josh cover the two types of passwords you can use to protect your PDFs, explaining what each is good for.
Import photos from your iPhone or iPad.
Open hundreds of images in a single window.
Trash unwanted images with a keystroke.
Duplicate, rename, and move images without leaving Preview.
Create a PDF-based image catalog.
Magnify a portion of an image with a loupe.
Tweak the white point and black point in photos.
Make photos sepia or black-and-white.
Edit a photo while comparing it to its original version.
Export to any one of 20 formats, including HEIC (introduced in Mojave).
View search results by rank or page order.
Highlight text just like you would in a college textbook.
Add notes to highlighted text and as freestanding objects.
Review notes in the sidebar or Annotations inspector.
Annotate a PDF with customizable shapes and arrows.
Although nearly three years have passed since the initial publication of this book, Preview itself hasn't seen any major changes—it's still the app you know and love. Most of what has changed came with the release of macOS 10.14 Mojave and is related Mojave's new Continuity Camera and screenshot features.
Unfortunately, we're sorry to report that, although Apple updated Preview to incorporate Mojave's new capabilities, the company also introduced quite a few bugs and unwelcome changes, such as the Contact Sheet view displaying thumbnails as squares that squish the aspect ratio of the images or PDF pages they represent. We've called out such infelicities wherever possible so if you have trouble with Preview, you can verify that it's Preview's fault, not yours.
We rejiggered "Configure Preview Preferences" to match how Apple moved preferences around. The options aren't particularly different, but they're in new spots.
We added the topics "Importing from a Screenshot" and "Importing from an iPhone or iPad" to cover how you can bring content into Preview from Mojave's new screenshot interface as well as directly from an iOS device. We removed mention of using iOS devices from "Importing from a Camera" now that Preview handles that through Mojave's Continuity Camera feature.
We updated "Importing from a Scanner" significantly to match Mojave's scanning interface, which has fewer options than in the past.
We added the sidebar "Preview's Editing Tools Escape the App!" to note that Mojave's new Markup tools work much as they do in Preview.
We added tips explaining the View > Show Image Background command and how you can resize multiple images at once.
We added some tricks in "Working with Shapes" for resizing, aligning, and layering shapes.
We added a discussion of the new HEIC image format in "Choosing a File Format" now that Preview can open and export .heic files.
We removed the section discussing how you can work with animated GIFs in Preview. As far as we can tell, that feature no longer works properly in Mojave's version of Preview. It wasn't particularly useful before, so it's no great loss.
We added some notes and warnings in "Annotate PDFs" to warn users about new annotation-related bugs in Mojave's Preview.
We edited a lot of screenshots so they show the new Markup button instead of the old one. Thanks, Apple!
When you add text boxes and shapes to an image, they're added in layers corresponding to the order in which you created them. For example, a rectangle created after a text box will obscure the text if you position it over the text, which may not be desirable. Other graphics apps tend to have Bring Forward and Send Backward commands to rearrange objects, but Preview lacks any such controls. Here's the workaround: Option-drag the bottom shape to create a duplicate, which is newer and thus will appear on top of any other object. After making and positioning the duplicate, you can delete the original object.

Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries (Paperback)
By Cindy Kuzma, Carrie Jackson Cheadle
Written by a leading mental skills coach and a contributing editor to Runner's World, this is a practical guide to building the mental skills athletes need to recover from injury and rebound stronger.
Weaving together personal narratives from athletes, scientific research, and the specialized clinical expertise of mental skills coach Carrie Jackson Cheadle, Rebound contains more than 45 Mental Skills and Drills athletes can use at every phase of their recovery process. These same strategies can help athletes who aren't currently injured reduce their vulnerability to injury and enable any individual to reach new heights within their sport and beyond.
Injuries affect every athlete, from the elite Olympian to the weekend racer. In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger, and more confident than ever.
Not everyone can recover swiftly enough to notch a winning performance in two weeks, of course. However, anyone can toward a swifter, stronger comeback using mental skills, psychological tools that enable them to take control of their recovery and ultimately use the experience to their advantage. Injury and other setbacks are inevitable--but with training, you can learn to overcome them skillfully and confidently, the same way point guards and forwards practice rebounds.
Carrie Jackson Cheadle M.A., is a mental skills expert and nationally known for her expertise in sports performance and psychological recovery from injury. She is the author of On Top of Your Game: Mental Skills to Maximize Your Athletic Performance.
Cindy Kuzma is a Chicago-based journalist with a specialty in fitness and health, a contributing editor at Runner's World magazine, and co-author of Superfood Swap: The 4-Week Plan to Eat What You Crave Without the C.R.A.P. She earned her master's degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and has spent the past 15 years writing for national print and online publications, including Men's Health, Women's Health, Prevention, espnW.com, VICE, SELF, Prevention, and USA Today magazines. She also contributes audio reporting to The Runner's World Show and Human Race, podcasts produced by Runner's World, and is the producer and co-host of #WeGotGoals, a podcast by Chicago-based aSweatLife.com.
"From this day forward, Rebound will be assigned reading for every athlete I coach who gets injured. The evidence-backed guidance in this long-overdue resource is as crucial to managing the mental side of injury as good healthcare providers are to managing the physical side." —Matt Fitzgerald, author of 80/20 Running
"A refreshingly innovative approach to injury rehab. Rebound teaches athletes how to leverage the power of mindset to face injuries head-on, harness their own resilience, shift momentum, and journey down the most direct route to recovery-skills that are invaluable long after the physical wounds have healed." —Mackenzie L. Havey, author of Mindful Running
"Successful athletes overcome injury with the same tools they use to reach peak performance, including good goals and the right mindset. Rebound teaches the strategies to best weather your (temporary!) setbacks." —Scott Douglas, contributing writer for Runner's World and New York Times best selling author
"As a mental performance consultant, Rebound will be my go-to guide for injured athletes. It provides the essential mental skills to help athletes thrive in recovery in an easy to use, practical guide. A must-read!" —Cindra Kamphoff, PhD, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, Speaker and Author
"This book is an outstanding resource for not only for those in the process of bouncing back from an injury, but for every coach, athletic trainer or parent who aims to help their athlete navigate the psychological aspects of rehab. Carrie provides insight on what to expect when you get injured and action-oriented steps on how to not just come back, but to come back stronger than you were before." —Justin Su'a, M.S., Tampa Rays Mental Skills Coach
"Rebound is essential reading for any athlete that is injured or going through the physical rehabilitation process. This book is basically a psychological playbook about how to not only recover from the injury setback, but also to thrive during the process to come back stronger and better than before the injury took place. This book needs to be in every athletic trainer and physical therapist's office." —Joshua Lifrak, M.S., Director of Mental Skills Program for an MLB Team
"As a pro athlete who recently endured a devastating injury, and as a coach who has supported athletes through injuries and on the road back, I found Rebound to be a wealth of knowledge and resources. Rebound provides athletes of all levels with actionable tips and mental skills to guide them back to a healthy mindset while they rehab and recover. A must-read for the injured athlete, and highly recommended for coaches as well-I plan to utilize the mental drills in Rebound in my own coaching." —Kaitlin Gregg Goodman, pro runner for the Boston Athletic Association High Performance Team and adidas, coach at Training Joyfully
"I promise that if you read this much-need and well-executed book and put its guidance into practice, your injury experience will suck less, and you will love the sport you love all the more." —Matt Fitzgerald, 80/20 Endurance
"Whether it's your first or 10th injury, however, you know that it is always hard to sit on the sidelines, missing your favorite activity. Cindy Kuzma and Carrie Cheadle understand this, which is why they wrote Rebound in hopes of making the tough period of injury lay off just a bit easier." - NBC News, Better
"[Rebound] is a fantastic resource...I really wish there had been a resource like this when I struggled tremendously with injuries in my early 20s. I can imagine the book being a great pick-me-up, either for oneself or a friend going through injury." - Fast Women

Home About us M. Constant-Serge Bounda
Constant-Serge Bounda
Mr Constant-Serge Bounda is the UNFPA Madagascar Representative and Country Director for Comoros, Mauritius and Seychelles from May 2017 until now.
With more than 29 years at the United Nations level in programme leadership and representation, planning and strategic management, policy dialogue, advocacy and forging partnership, prior of joining UNFPA, Serge has been working in the last two decades for various UN agencies such as ILO, WHO, UNOG, WMO, UN-ICTR and UNEP where he was also serving as Special Advisor of the Nobel Peace Prize, Late Hon, Wangari Muta Maathai.
Mr Constant-Serge Bounda was the Chief of the UNFPA Liaison Office to the African Union (AU) and the Economic Commission (ECA) before his appointment to Madagascar. In this capacity, he has been very instrumental by positioning UNFPA as a valued and trusted partner of both AUC and ECA, as evidenced by the inclusion of key ICPD issues and UNFPA's priorities (SRHR, MH, FP, demographic dividend, child marriage) in major AU policy frameworks, outreach campaigns, political decisions/resolutions and in their programmatic work. His outstanding advocacy, political outreach and mobilization of key players have highly contributed in convincing Heads of States and Government to devote the two AU Summits for 2017 to the theme "Harnessing Demographic Dividend through investments in youth" therefore strategically aligning AU and UNFPA core priorities.
Apart from all this, he also has strong experience of dealing with Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and countries at regional and sub-regional levels. Furthermore, he has background and expertise on environment and development in the context of climate change and El-Niño which affect enormously the East and South African Region.

You will cover three components during the two year course.
In this component you are introduced to the life stages and the areas of development: physical; intellectual; emotional and social (PIES). You must understand the key aspects of development of each life stage. You must then consider factors that can affect different aspects of development. You will also explore expected and unexpected life events, their impact and how individuals cope.
This component is internally assessed through the completion of two pieces of written coursework, one taking the form of a report and the other an information pack. This is worth 30% of your final mark.
You will start this component by learning about the wide range of Health and Social Care Services. You will also explore barriers that some individuals face and will learn how these barriers may be overcome. You will learn how to adopt compassionate and caring behaviours and will learn to apply these values to individuals who are using Health and Social Care Services. You will learn about the importance of reviewing your practice, which will help you to develop and improve your skills in relation to upholding care values.
This component is internally assessed through the completion of two pieces of coursework. The first of these is a written review of Health and Social Care Services in your local area and the second involves demonstrating your ability to use care values through two role plays; you will follow these up with a report about your strengths and areas for improvement. The role plays will be performed in groups and will be recorded to be sent off for moderation. This is worth 30% of your final mark.
Any work experience that you can gain in the Health and Social Care Sector will be extremely beneficial for this unit.
This component will focus on the factors that affect health and wellbeing, learning about physiological and lifestyle indicators and how to design a health and wellbeing improvement plan. You will also investigate the factors that can have a positive or negative influence on a person's health and wellbeing. You will learn to interpret physiological and lifestyle indicators and what they mean for someone's state of health. You will learn how to use this information to design an appropriate plan for improving someone's health and wellbeing. Finally, you will explore the difficulties an individual may face when trying to make these changes.
This component is externally assessed and synoptic as it builds on the knowledge, skills and understanding acquired and developed in Components 1 and 2. The assessment is based on a case study. The assessment will take place over a maximum of three hours during a given week and is worth 40% of your final mark. You will need to answer a range of different types of questions and then create a health and wellbeing improvement plan. This assessment can be taken in February of Year 11 and then re-sat in May, if required.
You must pass all three components to pass the course. You will be graded for each component and then you will be given an overall grade which could range from a Level 1 Pass through to a Level 2 Distinction*.
You will need to have achieved a good level in English and be able to complete coursework in some depth, following detailed, independent research. You will need to be hard-working, proactive and able to use your own initiative when completing coursework. Finally, you will need to be able to work effectively as part of a team with different types of people.
This course is an ideal preparation for progression to a more detailed study of Health and Social Care post 16. This may well be through a BTEC Level 3 course. It would also be useful as a starting point for anyone interested in the study of Sociology or Psychology or for anyone thinking about a future career in the Health, Social Care or Early Years sectors.

Q: Writing Async(Or async like) Client Socket Code in Java I am writing a socket client for interacting with a network service. Currently because I want to support async reading and writing I am threading both the output stream and the input stream of one socket, but I was wondering if there is a better way to do this. I have taken a look at Java NIO and was not very impressed, and I also looked at Mina, but was wondering if anyone had any better ideas.
Thanks.

A: The technique I used for asynchronous communication was to use an ExecutorService. In my example below, the service would execute a FutureTask that would wait for the next line. In the meantime, the server could continue executing other tasks and periodically poll the reader to see if a result was received yet.
For writing you could implement a similar FutureTask.
Note: You need not extend the functionality of an existing Stream/Reader/Writer like I did. This was just the source code that I had handy
 public class SocketStringReader extends BufferedReader {
    /**
     * Internal buffer used for asynchronous reads
     */
    private HashMap<String, String> buf = null;
    /**
     * Waiting status used for asynchronous reads
     */
    private boolean waiting = false;
    /**
     * Shared ExecutorService for asynchronous reads
     */
    private static ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();

    /**
     * Constructor here to pacify Java
     * @param in The InputStream to be used as the underlying stream
     */
    public SocketStringReader(InputStream in) {
        super(new InputStreamReader(in));
    }

    @Override
    public HashMap<String, String> readHashMap() throws IOException,
    ClassNotFoundException {
        if (buf != null) {
            HashMap<String, String> resp = new HashMap<String, String>(buf);
            buf = null;
            return resp;
        }
        return stringToHashMap(this.readLine());
    }

    /**
     * Parses a string and converts it to a HashMap
     * @param map A String object of the format "{key=value, key=value, ...}"
     * that is parsed into a HashMap
     * @return The parsed HashMap
     */
    public static HashMap<String, String> stringToHashMap(String map) {
        // take the string apart
        String[] split = map.split("[={},]");
        HashMap<String, String> result = new HashMap<String, String>();
        for (int i = 1; i < split.length; i += 2) {
            result.put(split[i].trim(), split[i + 1].trim());
        }
        logger.debug("new incoming HashMap: " + result.toString());
        return result;
    }

    /**
     * Returns the availability of the input stream
     * @return The number HashMap objects in the internal buffer
     */
    public int getAvailable() throws IOException {
        return (buf == null) ? 0 : 1;
    }

    @Override
    public HashMap<String, String> readHashMapAsync() throws IOException,
            ClassNotFoundException {
        //Check internal buffer
        if (buf != null) {
            HashMap<String, String> temp = new HashMap<String, String>(buf);
            buf = null;
            return temp;
        } else {
            //Do future crap? or nothing perhaps...
            if (!waiting) {
                waiting = true;
                FutureTask<HashMap<String, String>> future = new FutureTask<HashMap<String, String>>(
                        new Callable<HashMap<String, String>>() {
                            @Override
                            public HashMap<String, String> call() throws Exception {
                                buf = stringToHashMap(readLine());
                                logger.debug("Read object with sessionid: " + buf.get("sessionid"));
                                waiting = false;
                                return null;
                            }
                        });
                executor.execute(future);
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
}

A: Apart from Mina and NIO there are a couple of other libraries (all generally built on top of NIO)

*

*xSocket

*Netty

*Grizzly

*Also JDK 7 is adding support for Async IO


Bryan is renown for his amazing blend of keepout and rushdown, and Tekken 7 is no different. He has plenty of tools to keep his opponent at range with ranged CH launchers, backsway evasive moves if they approach recklessly and a safe mid launcher that low crushes with quick recovery. He also has a mid CH launcher with huge range and + frames if he needs to put himself at the opponent's face. Once he is in there, he can work his opponent down with hard hitting lows, a fast CH mid launcher that's neutral on block, powerful jab strings, hitconfirmable strings and so on. His offense is not only damaging but also relatively safe. Moreover, he has some of the best spacing tools the game has to offer. There is a steep execution curve to Bryan if you want to get into the really silly stuff available to him, such as the infamous "taunt jet upper" which is forcing your opponent to eat an unblockable taunt into a guaranteed launcher followup. This is extremely hard to pull off but it's very practical to be able to do consistently. A noticeable flaw that Bryan has is that he is very weak to his left so the opponent's right, but he has strong hitting homing moves to cover this.
One of the best space control.
i14 launcher standing (standard is i15).
Damaging and relatively safe offense.
Weak tracking to his left.
Not much going for huge + frames on hit.
Weak standing punishing until i14.

COVID-19 Update #50 for 11/10/2020
Pfizer and BioNTech are evaluating BNT162b2 in a Pfizer funded, 44,000 patient, Phase II/III trial (NCT04368728) BNT162b2 will be administered as two 30 mcg immunizations given 21-days apart. The trial was expanded from its original 30,000 patients, in September 2020, to allow the vaccine to be tested in a larger more diverse population, including adolescents as young as 16 years of age and people with HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hepatitis B. Pfizer announced that as of 11/9/2020, 43,538 patients had been enrolled in the Phase III trial with 42% overall having diverse backgrounds. Interim data, from an analysis by the independent Data Monitoring Committee after 94 cases of COVID-19 developed in the population, found the vaccine to be 90% effective in preventing COVID-19. A final analysis of the vaccine's efficacy is planned when 164 confirmed COVID-19 cases have accrued in the trial population. Pfizer estimates that two months of safety data will be available in the third week of November. If no safety issues are identified, Pfizer and BioNtech will request an emergency use authorization (EUA) and have 50 million vaccine doses available in 2020 and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021. Pfizer also announced unblinded, interim data in September 2020, suggesting the most common adverse events with BNT162b2 are fatigue, headache, diarrhea, muscle pain, joint pain and chills. Adverse effects have been mild to moderate.
COVID-19 Monoclonal Antibodies
The FDA approved an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for bamlanivimab on 11/9/2020 for the treatment of patients, 12 and older with mild or moderate COVID-19, who are at high risk of progressing to a severe infection and who do not require hospitalization. Bamlanivimab is administered as a one-time intravenous dose. The FDA advised against using the drug in hospitalized patients, because a benefit has not been demonstrated.
Bamlanivimab will be distributed through an allocation program through AmerisourceBergen. The U.S. government has purchased 300,000 doses that will be distributed at no charge.
Healthcare providers should review the Fact Sheet for information on the authorized use of bamlanivimab and mandatory requirements of the EUA. Please see the FDA Letter of Authorization, Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers, and Fact Sheet for Patients, Parents, and Caregivers (English) (Spanish).
Novartis announced interim data from the 29-day, 454 patient, CAN-COVID trial (NCT04362813), where treatment with canakinumab did not decrease mortality without the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, compared with placebo in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and cytokine release syndrome.
Humanigen announced interim data from 257 patients enrolled in a 28-day, 515 patient, Phase III trial, where treatment with lenzilumab reduced time to recovery compared to placebo in hospitalized COVID-19 patients not requiring ventilation. To improve the chance of the patient population experiencing 402 recoveries as recommended by the independent data monitoring board, Humanigen increased the patient population from 300 patients to 515. BARDA is funding consultants to assist in submitting an EUA and BLA for lenzilumab.
