Abraham Lincoln - The Fourteenth of April
(Thought I would share the introduction to my new novel. Would love to get your feedback on it. What do you think of the concept? Does it work for you?
Let me know what you think.)
The extraordinary document you are about to read was purportedly written by Abraham Lincoln in the last month of his life.
How, I came by it, is now well known in most circles, but for those of you unacquainted with the details, I will give you a brief run down.
I have been fortunate enough to procure several rare documents on eBay over the years. Among them an 1822 paper detailing the autopsy of Napoleon Bonaparte written by his physician; a letter from George Washington, written during the darkest days at Valley Forge, suggesting to Congress that they should surrender the cause; a 1789 printing of the Declaration of Independence, printed side by side with Jefferson's original notes, and beside it, an actual autograph by Thomas Jefferson.
But, this is by far, my most amazing discovery.
The bidding on eBay was fast and furious for this collection of Civil War memoirs. What caught my eye was the seller's opening line,
…hand written manuscript, dated April 15th, 1865. First paragraph reads as follows, "Made a speech outside of the White House today (April 11). With the war over, Lee having surrendered just two days ago, I could finally speak my peace on the blacks. I expressed my opinion that we should embrace 'the elective franchise for the colored man.' That night, Mary told me she saw the actor, J. Wilkes Booth watching my talk."
Note: Inscription on inside cover dated – March 15, 1865. A.L.
The letters, A. L. got my juices flowing. Lincoln signed most of his correspondence A. L.
Ever since the assassination there have been rumors of a Lincoln autobiography, but to my knowledge no one has ever laid eyes upon it.
My own knowledge of it was vague. Years ago, I'd read bits about it in the letters of John Hay, the President's personal secretary. Several times he said he'd entered the President's office, and each time, "Lincoln shuffled papers around, hiding something he was working on. At first, I thought it was a letter from Robert [Lincoln's oldest son]; General Grant had given him leave from the battlefield to visit. But several more times I caught him hiding papers when I entered his office. Nicolay said the same thing had happened to him. He said he'd caught a few glimpses of it, and it looked like Abe was writing the story of the war."
Nothing else was said.
After acquiring the document, I showed it to several Lincoln experts. Like all experts, they were divided on its authenticity. Three of them said there was no doubt, that it was real. Three more, said the facts were incorrect in several places and the writing although very much like Mr. Lincoln's, it could not be proven conclusively.
The date on the inscription was April 15th, the Great Man's last day upon this earth. That, coupled with Mary Lincoln taking note of Booth in the audience, listening to Lincoln's last speech is amazing enough. As I read on, Lincoln shared in great detail three separate attempts upon his life. His descriptions of his contemporaries are scathing; his faith in Grant, unshakeable; the details on some of the battlefields he visited – graphic and gory.
More startling, are his accounts of meetings with J. Wilkes Booth, at several White House receptions, early in his administration.
If only half of the information in this manuscript is accurate, it could cause a rewrite of the Civil War as we know it.
Lest I spill any more secrets, read on, and discover the details for yourself…

Lincoln Caricature: Abraham Lincoln in Scotch Cap and Kilt
This illustration is one of several depicting Abraham Lincoln, and the Baltimore Plot (the supposed attempt to assassinate him before being inaugurated in 1861). Rumors ran across the country that Lincoln snuck into the capitol city under cover of darkness, disguised in a Scotch cap and cloak.
According to Lincoln's friend and bodyguard, Ward H. Lamon,
"Mr. Lincoln soon learned to regret the midnight ride. His friends reproached him, his enemies taunted him…He was convinced that he had committed a grave mistake in yielding to the solicitations of a professional spy [Pinkerton] and of friends to easily alarmed. He saw that he had fled from a danger that was purely imaginary."
The cartoon pictured in this article was originally published in the March 9, 1861 issue of Vanity Fair.
Elihu Root Secretary of War
By L. A. Coolidge
In July, 1899, President McKinley faced a serious problem. The war with Spain had been fought and won. Within the short period of a year the United States had accepted the responsibility for the present control and future development of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The regular army of the United States under emergency legislation was more than double in size what it had been a few months before. Instead of being located at a few coast fortifications and a few frontier posts, it was scattered in active service over half the globe. The War Department had suddenly developed into the most important of all government departments, with tasks before it far transcending any questions of mere military administration. Almost unconsciously and as a matter of administrative convenience, the War Department had become responsible for the government of the islands which had formed the colonial dependencies of Spain—islands inhabited by millions of people of different races, religions, laws and traditions. It had become responsible for the proper inauguration of a new stage of national development—a task demanding great foresight great executive genius and extraordinary political wisdom. At that moment the Secretary of War resigned, and President McKinley found himself confronted with the necessity of choosing a successor.
The selection was one which could not be lightly made. The President recognized that no ordinary man could meet all the requirements of the position. It may be doubted whether he really expected to find a man who would be fully equal to the many exactions that would be made upon a new war secretary.
The best he could hope, after determining which of the functions of the department would be of greatest immediate importance, was to secure one who could be trusted to meet that pressing requirement. The most urgent question was that of the administration of the new possessions, involving as it did the preservation of order and the substitution of an American system of government for the mediaeval systems which had prevailed for centuries under the rule of Spain. For this task he concluded that he needed first of all a lawyer of preeminent ability. He selected Elihu Root.

Wu Ting-fang
His Excellency Wu Ting-Fang and Madame Wu
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, PEKIN, Nov. 30, 1896.
THE HONORABLE RICHARD OLNEY,
Secretary of State,
SIR:—
I have the honor to inform you that Mr. Wu Ting-fang has been appointed Chinese Minister to the United States, and will probably reach his post in April next. He was admitted to the bar in London, practiced law in Hongkong, and for several years has been serving the ex-Viceroy, Li Hung-Chang, at Tientsin. He speaks English perfectly.
Lo Feng-lu has been appointed Minister to England, Italy and Belgium. This gentleman was interpreter to Li Hung-Chang for many years and accompanied him on his recent tour.
Yang-yu, present Chinese Minister to the United States, has been appointed Minister to Russia.
Hwang Tsun-hsien has been appointed Minister to Germany.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES DENBY.
Thus simply and formally was Wu Ting-fang, the present representative of the Chinese Government in Washington, introduced to the Government of the United States. There had been Chinese ministers before—all of them men of good ability; all of them men of high standing at home; and all of them so little in touch with the affairs of the country to which they were accredited, that they were regarded popularly as objects of curiosity - it is to be feared sometimes as objects of derision by the unthinking.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, New York Society Leader
By Charles Stokes Wayne
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, as the acknowledged leader of the spectacular element of New York society, occupies a uniquely conspicuous position. The little realm over which she rules is but a small part of the great social world; but it is set upon a hill. She and her subjects, engaged apparently in a continuous performance, are ever in the public eye. Their comings and goings, their routes and fetes, their loves and their aversions, their marriages and their divorces, the clothes they wear, the wines they drink, the pranks they play, the jests they utter, all are chronicled in the newspapers. The conservative old Knickerbocker and some of the new, but staid people, sneer at Mrs. Fish's followers, who, in return, only laugh and set about some new device of entertainment to excite the envy, even if contemptuous, of their detractors.
By force of her aggressive independence rather than by tact has Mrs. Fish attained to the sovereignty that is hers. Family and money have been efficacious aids in the process of elevation, but there are women of more distinguished ancestry and possessing greater income—women, too, of far superior diplomatic equipment – who have struggled in vain for the eminence that Mrs. Fish has reached without seeming effort; reached, in fact, while flying in the face of all precedent, in that she truckled to none, spoke her mind freely on all occasions, put no check on her incisive wit, was a law unto herself, dinner and made enemies faster than she made friends.
Tall, dark and florid, with a figure calculated to display to advantage the sumptuous adornment with which she provides it, Mrs. is distinguee rather than beautiful. Mrs. Fish's jewels are among the handsomest in New York. She does not affect a tiara, but wears in her hair a magnificent diamond spray. About her neck circles a collar of pearls three inches deep. Suspended from it in front, by a thread of diamonds four inches long, is a diamond cluster that, viewed across the horseshoe at the Metropolitan Opera House, looks like an enormous single stone. Extending diagonally down her corsage she wears a row of buttons of diamonds set around sapphires, each sapphire as large as one's finger nail. A festoon of diamonds from the left shoulder to the front of the corsage completes the display.

Naturalist John Muir
By Adeline Knapp
A King of Outdoors: I know no other phrase that so aptly designates John Muir, naturalist, explorer and writer; nor do I know any man to whom the phrase is so applicable.
He has been styled "the Californian Thoreau," and Emerson, who knew and liked him, once went so far as to call him "a more wonderful man than Thoreau." It is doubtful, however, whether Emerson himself knew exactly what he meant by that rather impossible expression. The two men are wholly different in essentials of thought, so that it would be hard to institute any real comparison between them.
For twenty-five years John Muir has made out of doors his realm. For more than half this time he lived and wandered alone over the high Sierras, through the Yosemite Valley, and among the glaciers of California and Alaska, studying, sketching, and climbing. At night he sometimes rested luxuriously, wrapped in a half-blanket beside a camp fire; sometimes, when fuel was wanting, and the way too arduous to admit of carrying his piece of blanket, he hollowed for himself a snug nest in the snow. He is no longer a young man, but when last I saw him he was making plans to go again to the North, to explore the four new glaciers discovered last summer by the Harriman Expedition.
"What do you come here for?" two Alaskan Indians once asked him, when they had accompanied him as far, through perilous ways, as he could hire or coax them to go.
"To get knowledge," was his reply.
The Indians grunted; they had no words to express their opinion of this extraordinary lunatic. They turned back and left him to venture alone across the great glacier which now bears his name. So trifling a matter as their desertion could not deter him from his purpose. He built a cabin at the edge of the glacier and there settled to work, and to live for two long years. He made daily trips over that icy region of deep gorges, rugged descents and vast moraines, taking notes and making sketches, until he had obtained the knowledge, and the understanding of knowledge, that he was after. Muir Glacier is the largest glacier discharging into the wonderful Glacier Bay on the Alaskan coast. Being the most accessible one in that region, tourists are allowed to go ashore to climb upon its sheer, icy cliffs, and watch the many icebergs that go tumbling down from it. This is a thrilling experience to the globe trotter, but to dwell there beside the glacier, to study the phenomena, encounter perils, alone and unaided, is an experience that few besides John Muir would court.

Admiral George Dewey at the Battle of Manila Bay
Admiral Dewey on deck of Olympia at
Battle of Manila Bay
by Nick Vulich.
Other than Theodore Roosevelt, Admiral George Dewey was the biggest hero to come out of the Spanish American War.
His victory at the Battle of Manila completely took the world by surprise. All eyes were focused on the fighting in Cuba, when Dewey sailed into Manila Bay and virtually destroyed the Spanish fleet.
At 5:35 on the morning of May 1, 1898, Dewey let out those famous words, "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley!" The U.S. Asiatic Squadron commenced fire. The squadron first fired their starboard guns, then their port guns, while circling around the Spanish fleet.
Within six hours the entire Spanish Fleet under the command of Admiral Montojo was destroyed or captured. Dewey's losses were one dead, six injured. Spanish losses were 161 dead, 210 injured.
After the battle Dewey controlled all of the waters around Manila, but he did not have enough troops to engage the Spanish in a battle on land. Dewey soon received assistance from Filipino insurgent Emilio Aguinaldo and was able to hold off the Spanish until more American troops were sent to help.

Every day the Buckner Family Hope Center at Villa Esfuerzo, Dominican Republic offers programs and services to help strengthen and empower their community members. The literacy program, however, is reaching the community on both a physical and spiritual level.
The situation is bleak for those who do not know how to read and write. Because they lack the basic literacy skills, adults are forced to work in menial jobs on the streets. The work is labor-intensive, the pay is low and without the necessary literacy skills, their future is dark.
To combat this, the Hope Center offers a reading and writing class twice a week to adults. Guariomex De Los Santos is on staff with the Hope Center, but volunteers his time to teach the literacy classes. He understands better than most the struggles adults face when they don't know how to read and write.
De Los Santos used to work in the streets cleaning shoes until someone came and helped him in a similar way he is now helping his students.
His service is reaching people like Dichoso Angomas. Angomas works on the street doing two different transportation jobs. With his tricycle, he hauls construction materials and supplies to different locations. When not transporting construction supplies, he picks up trash and hauls it out of the community. The work is menial and exhausting. He knows if he could read and write, his odds of finding better employment would increase.
Desperate to learn how to read and write, Angomas went to the Hope Center, asking if he could partake in their education classes. He was grateful when he was accepted into De Los Santos' literacy class.
Twice a week, Angomas joins the other adults, learning first the letters and slowly putting them together to form words and sentences. He never misses a class. He knows how important this is for his future.
It hasn't been an easy road, but he is diligent, and his hard work is starting to show.
For De Los Santos, seeing his students get excited and improve in their reading and writing skills is his greatest reward.
At the end of the class, De Los Santos holds a graduation ceremony for the students. The skills they learn in the Hope Center literacy class allows them to attend the public school to continue taking classes to further improve their reading and writing skills.
And as a special reward, De Los Santos plans to take all the graduates to a movie because none of his students have ever been to the theater. The movie is in English with Spanish subtitles and now that they can read, they will be able to read the subtitles.
It's hard to tell whether the students or De Los Santos is more excited for graduation day.

NYC's Relocated Datavision is Getting 'Connected'
By Nancy Klosek
Jimmy Garson, CEO of New York City CE retailer Datavision, is bullish about the impending relocation and reimagining of the company's brick-and-mortar store, and the mid-summer redesign of the Datavision retail website.
"We're going to have a 'connected' store with two floors – one of which is retail space, and we'll sell 150,000 items out of 3,000 square feet," Garson said. "It's a smaller space than we had before, but we expect to do double the amount of retail out of this location in less square footage than we were doing on Fifth Avenue in 10 times the square footage."
Previously, Datavision had been in the same heavily trafficked Midtown Manhattan Fifth Ave. location for more than 20 years, and the move takes the storefront slightly south of there. The "soft" opening, in the Flatiron District of Manhattan at 50 W. 23rd St. between Fifth and Sixth Aves., will occur by the end of June and the Grand Opening is in mid-July. The location is "one of the hottest in the city – the busiest seven-days-a-week shopping area in New York," according to Garson. It is near a Best Buy, a Home Depot and what will be LEGO's Manhattan flagship retail store, when it opens in July.

DENVER -- At Starbuds on Evans Avenue in Denver and at dispensaries across the state, pot sales are strong. July transactions set a record. But a force outside of Colorado could wilt the success.
Voters in Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Arizona and California could all give the green light for recreational sales this November, extinguishing the novelty here at home.
At Starbuds, about 20 percent of customers are from outside of Colorado. But a 2014 state study reveals that in some tourist-rich counties, out-of-staters account for about 90 percent of sales.
"The more states that legalize it, the more potential it has to dilute the impact that Colorado has nationwide and around the world," said Jim McTurnan, of Starbuds.
There's a sweet side to this story too. Pot-related businesses, including Love's Oven, see this movement as a potential opportunity to expand beyond Colorado.
"We definitely actually see expansion into other states as a good thing," said owner Joshua Nettles. "We're definitely looking at expanding into other states and helping them out either with their industry or moving our industry into their state," he said.
"That knowledge base that they have is going to translate opportunity to other places too," said McTurnan.


Normal crypto-coins are a digital asset designed to be used as an item of trade. New coins may be added by mining. Any person can do this if they have a device.
Mining uses a lot of hours and electrical power, though. A high-powered machine is also vital, to do this profitably. Conversely, Ripple is a centralised coin, which cannot be mined. A fixed number of units were generated by the organisation and this number will never be exceeded.
Looking to buy crypto-currency? Securing it is very straightforward but investors should be careful, whenever attepting an internet purchase of any kind.
Right now, over fifty percent of all purchases are carried out over the internet. Online shopping is convenient and easy, meaning that more and more individuals are switching to this method as opposed to facing the crowds in the shops. The internet also enables anyone to carry out more valuable research and pick-up the most advantageous deals. Nonetheless, there is a murky side to e-commerce. Here are the crucial guidelines, consumers must follow.
Always buy from home. Hackers can easily access sensitive information when you use non-private wifi services, therefore it's less dangerous to purchase from your living-room than in internet cafes. Don't attempt to make purchases when you are passing through railway stations, hostels or any kind of free connected public areas.
Steer clear of Twitter/FaceBook deals. Do not trust these sorts of deals as the majority of links are deceptive. This means you can't be confident that the link brings you to a legitimate site.
Buy with your credit card. Never use a debit card. More than 50% of debit cards require that acts of fraud be reported in under 2 days to obtain limit liability. Don't wire cash to sellers. You won't be able to get your money refunded if you do this. Be sure to check credit card statements. Place online receipts in a designated email folder, so you may crosscheck transactions.
Never supply any excess information. There's no need to supply a driver's license number. Don't reveal your social security details either. If the company ask for this info, be suspicious. Choose lengthy passwords that you still can remember. If your computer asks to save it, always select 'No'. Should someone else gain access to your machine then they might find your credit card info.
Watch you don't fall for gift voucher schemes. When you receive an email and it claims you are going to receive a gift card but also requests your credit card information, mark it as spam. Genuine businesses will not seek such sensitive info. Please remember this, because it is important that individuals act wisely when buying on the internet. Order from home and be certain that the seller is trustworthy.
Don't forget to add our website to your favorites and check back regularly to find out about the latest goings-on with Ripple.

This brand new free app is designed to help businesses maximise their profit potential, the tool aims to provide companies with greater clarity on their financial performance as they plot their long-term growth.
The Profit Predictor was designed so companies can simply and easily check how much money they were generating, the idea is to help businesses quickly and efficiently gain the detailed information they needed to set viable turnover targets and move their business forward.
The Profit Predictor will help our clients to grow their businesses by equipping them with the key financial performance criteria they need to progress towards their financial targets. For many owner-managed businesses, performance is measured by turnover, as that can be easily reviewed year on year or month on month.
The app is designed to perform a true breakeven analysis, identifying the value of sales required in order to cover the costs of the business and the required takeout of the business owners. Once a core base line is established, this can be simply adjusted to factor in, for example a pension contribution, or an increased dividend.
Charnwood Accountants had been using the principles of the app for many years, to help clients to better understand the link between their financial targets compared with the level of turnover required to attain them.
The app's features include allowing users to: check changes in business overheads; review the effect of changes in gross margin on required turnover; see the effects of increased or decreased takeout from a business and change directors' takeout mix to include a pension contribution.
The free Profit Predictor is only available at apple store in the business category.

Oxford Researcher Seeks Malta Accreditation For World's First 'Blockchain University'
Woolf University founder Joshua Broggi (second from left) in Malta with Woolf's three other directors
The world's first blockchain-powered university, the brainchild of an Oxford research fellow, could soon set up shop in Malta.
"Malta provides an educational framework based in the British tradition – and after Brexit, Malta will remain both an EU member state and a Commonwealth member," philosophy research fellow Joshua Broggi told Medium.com. "We have had productive meetings with [Education Minister] Evarist Bartolo and the National Commission for Further and Higher Education (NCFHE). As part of our participation in the community of Malta, members of the Woolf University have already been contracted as expert peer-reviewers and acted to help the NCFHE in assessing applications for degree accreditation."
The Woolf University will run on blockchain technology, so as to save costs by automating administrative procedures while ensuring the security of degrees.
It will not be an online university per se, but is intended to complement online and onsite teaching anywhere in the world by providing students with personalised tutorials.
Students and teachers will 'check-in', which will execute a series of smart contracts that validate attendance and assignment completion, pay the teacher in tokens and provide micro-credits to the student.
"We use a blockchain to create efficiencies by managing custodianship of student tuition, enforcing regulatory compliance for accreditation, and automation a number of processes," Broggi told Forbes. "Our blockchain-enforced accreditation processes are such that teachers and students from outside the EU can join our platform and earn a full EU degree – a non-EU student with a non-EU teacher in a non-EU language."
Woolf University has already attracted a well-qualified range of professors and lecturers, mostly from the University of Oxford, but also from Cambridge University, George Mason University, King's College London, Leipzig University and Kyoto University.
Woolf has roped in some big names from the academic world
Once its first five colleges are launched, it will open up applications to academics with a doctorate from one of the world's top 200 universities, with annual salaries ranging between $50,000 and $100,000.
Although they plan to have more than one regulatory partner, they have started with Malta, attracted by its new laws to regulate companies which run on DLT technology as well as by a pilot project by the Education Ministry to provide blockchain-based records for educational certification.
"Malta is an ideal partner for a borderless university," Broggi said. "As an island country, Malta has a long tradition of looking beyond its own borders, and Malta is now developing a robust regulatory framework for distributed ledger technology. Both the educational policies and the blockchain policies are supportive of Woolf's aims and we look forward to continued work with Malta as they become 'the blockchain island'."
Woolf had initially planned to fund the university through a public initial coin offering but said it has since found enough private investment to delay the need to go public.

So far, we are a month into 2019 and Netflix has had a pretty 'viral' time. The internet is abuzz with the KonMari phenomenon already, and lives are changing with 'Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.' If you do not know what I am talking about, you have a lot to catch up on. However, the one thing about Netflix that has been adding majorly to its success as a streaming platform are the movies it commissions for the platform solely. AKA, what we all call the 'Netflix Original'.
Even though it sounded like a bizarre thing: churning original content for a streaming service, the stamp declaring 'A Netflix Original' has been borne by many successes in 2018. You've come across the creativity of Bandersnatch. You've probably seen To All The Boys I've loved Before, Maniac, Wild WIld Country, Set It Up, Annihilation, Stranger Things, Godless, The End of the F***ing World, and so on. The audience finds the content pretty binge-worthy. And even the shows that don't catch up on TV end up with a new life on Netflix. Take the rom-com turned post-modern horror You, for instance. Or your favorite Black Mirror. Or the fresh audience for Gilmore Girls.
Mithila Palkar, Vijay Raaz and Abhay Deol are bringing their aura to the screen in this one. It follows the story of a talented but insecure woman who enlists an enigmatic con to help recover her stolen car from a goat-loving Mumbai gangster. Ashvini Yardi of Vineyard Productions dons the hat of the producer and Sachin Yardi is the director for this refreshing plot. We hope to see more of Mumbai's raw spirit and an empowering journey for Palkar's character.
After Pari, NH10 and Phillauri, Anushka Sharma's Clean Slate Films is producing another offbeat period drama-horror. The plot is intriguing as the blurb on Netflix goes. A man returns home after years to find his brother's child bride now grown up and abandoned, and his ancestral village plagued by mysterious deaths. He tries to find out the truth.
As with other CSF, we hope and believe this will be a subtle commentary on expired beliefs and superstitions.
Sachin Kundalkar's novel of the same name found widespread applause on social media and within the critics' circle. This movie should give it another life. The plot deals with an unusual romantic dilemma. A brother and sister fall in love with the same man. Set in a Marathi family, life as they know it, is about to change, or worse, shatter.
The novel, translated from Marathi to English by Jerry Pinto, was layered with a plethora of emotions. The movie adaptation better live up to the density.
Madhuri Dixit brings herself as a producer to the Netflix universe. The movie is set up in a Mumbai 'chawl'. The residents are gearing up for the annual flag-hoisting ceremony on, yes, you guessed it, 15th August, the Indian Independence Day. A marathi movie, directed by Swapnaneel Jayakar, we expect it to be lighthearted. We are going to have a lot of Mumbai on our digital screens, by the looks of it.
First of all, take a moment to appreciate the cast: Amrita Bagchi, Divya Dutta, Manav Kaul. Kaul plays the role of the music teacher, who lives in a small town but is emotionally troubled.
Directed by Sarthak Dasgupta, we are keen to watch what they mean by 'troubled' music teacher. The story looks at Kaul reconnecting with a former student who is now a Bollywood celebrity. Another story from Mayapuri – the city of dreams.
As Indians, hardly any of us can forget the November terror attacks of 2008. This movie will tell the story of all the survivors and victims of the Mumbai terror attacks. It stars Dev Patel, Anupam Kher and Armie Hammer and has been in the making for quite some time now. Expect a chilling depiction of the Taj Palace Hotel and the hostage situation before the bombs go off. The trailer is gut-wrenching and has raised our expectations.
Another Marathi movie in the list, and another one backed by a Bollywood celebrity. This one is produced by Priyanka Chopra and follows the story of a lawyer and a sexual assault victim, who takes on difficult cases and deals with her difficult marriage as well.
Produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, this multilingual espionage thriller based on Bilal Siddiqi's book, stars Emraan Hashmi in the lead role. It is exciting to see another book adaptation into a series, after the success of Sacred Games. This one tells the story of Kabir Anand, an ex-spy-turned-professor who is now back in the field.
It is based on the book by Prayaag Akbar and is being adapted by writer and executive producer Urmi Juvekar, is set in the near future and tells the story of a mother's search for her daughter, from whom she was separated 16 years ago upon her arrest.
Crocodile is a series described as a young-adult, murder-mystery, written by Binky Mendez who has previously worked on DhobiGhat and Ashram. This story is set in Goa. It will see Mira finding her best friend.

Alimony Should Be Gender-Neutral
Marriage has been showing up in headlines across the country, from new stories trumpeting Obama's statement of support for marriage equality to those debating the First Circuit's judicial blow to DOMA. While shifts in access to legal marriage and the economic benefits that it brings are taking center stage, shifts in divorce law are quickly becoming a hot topic as well. Giving questions of divorce top billing – and, some might say, putting the cart before the horse – the highest state court in Maryland has granted same-sex couples divorce rights even though same-sex couples cannot marry in the state.
That changes to divorce come with changes to marriage should come as no surprise to anyone. Marriage and divorce are, after all, two sides of the same coin. But divorce law is going to have to move fast if it is going to keep up the pace with the changes that are transforming marriage.
A major topic in divorce law right now, and one that will continue to be highly relevant given a shaky economy and significant un- and underemployment, is alimony. Last year, when New York transitioned to no-fault divorce, the legislature adopted the use of formulas for temporary alimony, making New York on of the few states with such guidelines. Since then, other states — including Massachusetts and Florida— have been reforming their alimony laws by severely curtailing lifetime awards and capping payments.
While these reforms are important because they shake the dust from outdated alimony statutes, more is needed in terms alimony reform than the establishment of formulas or the termination of lifetime entitlements. What states need are truly gender neutral alimony awards, ones that push back against the historical gender bias inherent in alimony and bring alimony into the twenty-first century.
A first strike for alimony equality came in 1979 with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Orr v. Orr. In Orr, the Court held that Alabama statutes requiring men and not women to pay alimony violated the Equal Protection Clause. The Court stated Alabama's alimony statutes reflected the "old notion" that "it is the man's primary responsibility to provide a home and its essentials." In the wake of Orr, alimony laws across the states changed to reflect gender-neutral values.
Changes in women's labor force participation and the significant increase in women's earning power have also hastened the modernization of alimony. A recent survey conducted by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) confirmed that times have indeed changed. According to the survey, which looked at trends in the last three years, 56% of the nation's top divorce attorneys report seeing an increase in the number of mothers paying child support and 47% also saw a rise in the number of women paying alimony.
Thirty years after Orr and in the face of sweeping social change, however, courts continue to make assumptions about the economic roles and capacities of both husbands and wives. One Connecticut lawyer has pointed to the problem, saying that while "Connecticut's alimony laws are gender neutral as written, . . . in practice, despite women's tremendous advancements and considerable economic power, alimony decisions are often lopsided." The judicial practice of alimony awarding does not always match either law on the books or the realities of modern household economics.
Moving forward, making alimony awarding gender neutral in both theory and practice will be a necessity. Courts can no longer operate on the assumption that alimony is only for wives. Alimony is for husbands too, just ask lawyers in Connecticut. Or consult the U.S. Census Bureau report documenting a rise from 2.4% to 3.6% in the number of men receiving alimony. In addition, marriage equality may slowly but surely change the gender roles that have so long defined the dynamics of traditional marriage, bringing new challenges for courts looking to use gender as a proxy for entitlement. Thoroughly modern marriage — marriage free of traditional gender roles — calls for thoroughly modern divorce.

Ben Morrison Reawakens After Brothers Comatose
San Francisco bluegrass favorite plays solo at Moe's Alley on Friday, Sept. 13
By Aaron Carnes
In 2016, Ben Morrison's five-piece San Francisco bluegrass band Brothers Comatose sold out the Fillmore. Last year, it nearly happened again. It was a culmination of the 120-day-a-year touring schedule the members had maintained for over a decade in their push to carve out sustained indie success.
Then, early last year, two of the members—the mandolin player and the bassist—told Morrison they were quitting the band. He didn't know what was going to happen next.
"I put all of my energy into that band. It's like, 'My dreams are coming true.' It was shocking to have two guys leave the band, and all of the sudden not know the future. It was heartbreaking," Morrison says. "I'm not mad at those guys. You've got to choose your own path in life."
The remaining members of the group decided to take time off to reassess everything, and to see if they even wanted to continue as a touring band. But Morrison didn't slow down. He had been toying with the idea of recording a solo album for a while, and it suddenly seemed like the opportune moment.
"As much as I love that band, there's a few songs I wrote that didn't work for Brothers Comatose. It needs drums. It needs electric guitar," Morrison says. "That's the good thing about music. It doesn't have to be a monogamous relationship. You can do something on the side, and then you can come back and probably be a stronger musician because of it."
The new record, Old Technology, shows a whole different side of Morrison. There are no finger-picking string jamborees. These are bittersweet, singer-songwriter-style Americana tunes in the vein of Kris Kristofferson and the Band.
"It was pretty trying for me. I put my head down and focused on this project," Morrison says. "I'm going to funnel it into this thing."
He first recorded "25 Miles" late in 2018. It's an older song he'd written for Brothers a few years back. He tried, but could never make it work. As a solo artist, he was able to give it the country-rock feel it needed, with hand-picked musician friends to bring it to life. It's a fitting anthem for this time in his life; he sings about the joy and sadness of being on the road with friends, about to run out of gas.
The song has racked up more than 350,000 Spotify plays so far, which shocked him. He's watched other friends in successful bands put out overlooked side projects.
"Whatever you're trying to do, there are no shortcuts. If you're super famous, that can help. But I'm not super famous," Morrison says. "It was awesome. Something can exist outside of the band scenario."
The success of the song gave him confidence to pursue a full-length in the same Americana style. The tone of the record expressed the upheaval in his life.
None of the songs directly deal with band dynamics, but they do express Morrison's complex emotional state. Some of the specific back stories of the songs are odd, like the country weeper "I Hope You're Not Sorry." In it, he sings about a woman who stalked him for a while. It got so bad he filed a restraining order. Then, one day, she disappeared, and he kind of missed her.
"Things got really strange for a while. Then she stopped coming to shows. I was bummed," Morrison says. "It's kind of a love song—love you never wanted, but as soon as it's not there, you're depressed about it."
Morrison has already done some touring as the Ben Morrison Band, which has gone well. Brothers Comatose found new members, and they've been up and running as of March this year.
"I want to have these projects coexist, and be able to record an album with Brothers, and tour behind that. Go record an album with my band, too, and then tour on that," Morrison says. "I want to get out there and play music for people. It's the best job I could ever have. I'm trying to do it before I get old and bust my hip. Might as well go for it."
The Ben Morrison Band performs at 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 13, at Moe's Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$20 door. 479-1854.

What: Shares of shipping company Navios Maritime jumped as much as 14% today after the company released earnings.
So what: Revenue fell 12% from a year ago to $133.8 million, but it easily topped the $97.1 million estimate. The company lost $0.10 per share, but that was well ahead of the expected $0.22 loss, and that got investors excited today.
Now what: The dry-bulk segment was hit hardest over the past year, and rates fell 45% to $11,820 per day. There's a long history of challenges in this segment, and it doesn't appear to be getting any better, with oversupply in the industry. Today's results may have beaten expectations, but I'm not a buyer, because the company's still seeing deteriorating results.

Exploring Krakow & Warsaw
Dave Felton
Home > Travel Guides > Exploring Krakow & Warsaw
More so than many countries, Poland has endured periods of oppression and internal struggle, however, the past 20 years have witnessed dizzying economic development. With its breathtaking mountains, unspoilt forests, idyllic lakes and windswept beaches, this beautiful country remains relatively unknown to many of us. However, it is its' impressive cities, where the old and the new stand together, that will always be a reminder of their both glorious and tragic history – and in so doing make for a fascinating trip.
The former royal capital of Krakow is a well-preserved architectural gem with so much to explore. With an incredible Royal Castle, a Cathedral, countless medieval churches and endless cafes and museums, you can keep yourself busy for days. And, it is not just the Old Town that provides the attractions, today the city is the Cultural capital of Poland with its plethora of museums, exhibitions, concerts and theatrical performances too.
The Market Square, the vast Rynek Glówny, in the Old Town is the largest medieval Square in Europe!
The Cloth Hall, the main feature on the Market Square, was once a major centre of international trade but is now an excellent starting point for souvenir shopping.
Visit some of the many medieval churches – there are too many to see them all, but the Franciscan Church and Church of the Virgin Mary are truly magnificent with their ornate decorations and stained glass windows.
The Wawel castle dating back to the 11th Century is now home to one of the country's finest art museums and collection of Italian renaissance paintings.
Wawel Cathedral (Pictured to the right), over 900 years old, it was the coronation site of the Polish monarchs.
Kazimierz, the former Jewish quarter, is where remnant synagogues reflect the tragedy of the 20th century, this area is now home to ultra cool cafes, lively squares and nightclubs.
Oskar Shindler's Factory – the Shindler's old enamel factory has been turned into a modern museum devoted to the wartime experiences of Krakow under Nazi occupation during WW2.
Also, the death camps of Auschwitz- Birkenau, 50km west of the city, are an unmissable symbol of the Holocaust, a truly life changing experience requiring at least half a day to do it justice .
Warsaw became the capital of Poland in 1596 and soon become one of Europe's most prosperous cities. However, in 1815 the Russians conquered the city and, despite a series of rebellions, it was not until the outbreak of World War I that this control collapsed. Warsaw again became the capital of an independent Poland in 1918, but the German invasion of 1939 meant this was to be short-lived. In 1944 after the Warsaw Uprising, Hitler ordered the total destruction of the city, leaving 850,000 Varsovians dead and 85 percent of Warsaw in ruins.
Having survived such a turbulent past, the city centre is now a jumbled collection of neighbourhoods and landmarks spread across a broad area with architecture ranging from restored Gothic to Communist concrete and modern glass and steel. Today, the overriding impression of Warsaw is one of a thriving capital with excellent museums, restaurants and entertainment scene.
The main sights are on the western bank of the Wisla River where you'll find the central business and shopping district, Sródmiescie, The more picturesque Old Town (Stare Miasto) is just to the north
T he Royal Castle, housing some of Eastern Europe's finest art, is still in the process of reconstruction having been totally destroyed in WWII. Among the permanent exhibitions is one on the 'Destruction to Reconstruction' of the Castle itself.
One of three cathedrals in Warsaw, the magnificent gothic Cathedral of St John was destroyed in WWII. Rebuilt after the war, the current exterior reconstruction is based on the presumed appearance of the original 14th-century church.
The Wilanów Palace – 30 mins out of the City was built by King Jan III as the royal summer palace, the huge Baroque palace miraculously survived WW2 unscathed.
The 42-storey controversial Stalin's Tower, a gift from Stalin to the people of Poland is now the Palace of Culture and Science. Go to the 30th floor observation deck for the best views of Warsaw.
Don't miss some of the excellent museums in the city include The Warsaw Uprising Museum, Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Chopin Museum, an interactive museum dedicated to the Polish composer.
Restaurants, beers, clubs, nightlife…
Why not combine these two great cities in to one itinerary with our Krakow and Warsaw Twin Centre, or combine them with other European destinations.

This cake has been on my list to bake for so long and finally I got around to baking it……well, that's not quite the whole truth. My son made it! He made it for a class project for school. This is the classic foreign language project where you make a dish and take it to class. When my son said he would be doing this project for Spanish class, I asked what he was planning on preparing. He mentioned a few suggestions such as queso with chorizo or guacamole, but I had an ulterior motive and nudged him in this direction. Secretly I have been wanting to make this cake for like forever but never seemed to get around to it, so I seized the opportunity, sorta, and suggested that he make it for school. And he did!
This is the classic sponge cake made by separating the eggs, whipping the egg whites and egg yolks separately and then folding them back together to give the cake its volume. A great lesson for a fourteen year old boy to learn! I will say, he did a super job and the cake was perfect!
I gave him an A+, now let's hope the teacher did too.
The secret to this cake is the sauce. This cake has a sauce made with vanilla and three different milks, hence the name "tres leche." After you bake this cake, you pour this sauce over it. When you think about it, you have to wonder how the cake soaks up all that sauce, but it does, and while the cake is wet, it is not mushy. Look at the picture and see how just the slightest amount of sauce pools at the bottom of the cake. It is divine!
When you read the instructions, there seem to be a lot of steps involved, but it is not difficult. Just measure out all of your ingredients ahead of time and you will be fine. This recipe is by Pati Jinich from her website, Pati's Mexican Table.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 inch pan, lining the bottom with a piece of parchment paper that has been cut to fit the pan. Pour the egg whites into the bowl of your stand mixer and using the whisk attachment, beat on medium-high speed until the egg whites form soft peaks (4 – 5 minutes). Slowly stir in the sugar and continue until they hold hard peaks (about 2 minutes longer). Turn off the mixer and move the egg white mixture onto a large mixing bowl with a large spatula. Quickly rinse the bowl and the whisk attachment and put back on the stand mixer. Pour the egg yolks into the bowl and beat on medium-high speed (5 – 6 minutes), or until the egg yolks become creamy and the color has changed to pale yellow. Stir in the vanilla and beat for another minute.
Pour the egg yolk mixture onto the egg white mixture and with a spatula, in evolving motions, combine them gently trying not to lose much volume from the mixture. When fully combined, fold in the flour, scraping the bowl with the spatula so that all the flour is well mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and place into the oven for 22 – 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The top of the cake should be slightly browned and bounce back when you touch it. Remove it from the oven and let it cool. The cake will shrink a bit as it cools. Once it cools down, turn the cake onto a platter and remove the parchment paper. Cover the top (which is really the bottom!) with another platter and invert again so that the real top of the cake is now on top again. Make sure the platter is large enough and deep enough hold the cake and the sauce. Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake.
In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and vanilla. Pour over the cake. (At this point you can refrigerate the cake overnight.) In the bowl of your mixer, whip up the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture holds up stiff peaks (1 – 2 minutes) Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Looks so delicious! Perfect for this time of year.
I haven't made Tres Leche Cake either, but I may have to try your recipe! Any dessert with a creamy vanilla flavor is worth making!
One of my favorites…looks fantastic!
This is one of those cakes that has been on my to bake list forever too. It looks so pretty and perfect. Now I want a slice.
First time here. Your blog look elegant and yummy. I like it.
Sooooo pleased to have come across your Tres Leche cake recipe. I had it the first time while I was in Peru a couple of years ago. I kept ordering it and each time it was slightly different but equally compelling.
I love the texture and the taste, I can't wait to make it.
My daughter adores this cake. I've had it once and could see why. This looks completely delicious.
I am so glad that I have found your website. I haven't made this for years, lost most of my recipes during a move. I have searched for a while looking for a recipe that looks familiar to me and this is the closest I have found. I look forward to making this for Thanksgiving dinner.


But Green's rage from the podium during his victim statement was wide-ranging, his targets many on Tuesday: Yolo County child welfare workers who drew up what Green called a "backroom deal" with Rees' parents for a safety plan to bring an already meth-addicted Justice home from the hospital. Rees' parents, themselves retired social workers with roughly 60 years' experience between them, Green said, who failed to protect their grandchild from the dangers under their roof.
And, the prosecutors who pursued and won murder charges against his daughter, but offered a deal to the drug dealer-turned-fiancé who injected her with syringes full of meth mixed with acetone in the days before her fateful journey into the slough.
Anger wasn't reserved for the Green family. Rees' older sister, Ruth Rees banged the courtroom podium in disgust, gathered herself, then declared her brother beyond saving, calling for the maximum nine-year prison term.
Yolo County Deputy District Attorney Ryan Couzens defended the six-year sentence as a "just result," saying to attempt to pursue a heavier charge against Rees was "not legally sustainable." Couzens said prosecutors also considered charging others in Justice's death but decided that the charges weren't justified.
Rees defense attorney Rod Beede defiantly defended his client as the only person who took responsibility in "this horrid, sordid, tragic case," and called on Yolo authorities to flag what he called an "absolute, express threat" from Randy Green during Green's fiery remarks.
Samantha Green emerged hysterical from Ridge Cut Slough near Knights Landing the afternoon after descending into the woods, her newborn Justice Rees in tow, in an ill-fated, drug-addled and ultimately fatal search for Justice's father, who had left Woodland and Green to meet a lover in Knights Landing. Baby Justice wasn't with her. She frantically told a neighbor her child was missing. Searchers later found the baby's body under a tree in the slough. Justice died of exposure, medical examiners ruled.
A Yolo County jury in 2016 would decide Samantha Green caused her baby's death and convicted her of second-degree murder.

Take a look at a contemporary seven-bedroom Dallas home with a unique curved design
This 14,795-square-foot contemporary home was custom built for owners Darren and Amy Kozelsky. Darren's name might resonate with country music fans. The home was designed by architect Lionel Morrison.
The home, built in 2007 on nearly two acres in the Hillcrest Estates neighborhood, has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and four half-bathrooms. The home was updated recently, including adjustments to the kitchen and living room to create an open floor plan and a fireplace was added.
The unique, curved design of the home envelopes an infinity pool that sits off of a wrap-around back patio. The pool is visible from multiple points in the home, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the first and second floors.
Listing agent Amy Detwiler said that, during initial planning meetings with the architect, the owners chose this curved layout over another option because they liked how it worked with the corner lot.
"It's modern, and it has a lot of glass and natural light, but yet it's very private," Detwiler said.

On the first floor, the living, dining, kitchen and breakfast rooms flow together in the updated open floor plan, with views of the pool. The kitchen has a Miele coffee bar to boot.
Nearby, a game room with a wet bar and half-bathroom also overlook the pool and outdoor living area that includes a fire pit.
The primary suite is the only suite on the first floor. In its own wing, the primary suite has two custom walk-in closets, a bedroom with exterior views on either side, and an attached bathroom with dual sinks, dual toilets, a bathtub, walk-in shower, an attached fitness room, and a private outdoor shower.
One of the six bedrooms on the second floor is a guest suite complete with a bathroom, living area and kitchenette. Each of the upstairs bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and many have walk-in closets.
In addition to the bedrooms, there is a playroom, a craft room, a media room and an office on the second floor.
The home also features a fully-finished basement with a bathroom and closet. It is a "smart home" and equipped with geothermal HVAC.
The 1.77-acre property allows for additional open green space. There is an attached two-car garage with storage areas and an additional one-car garage.
6645 Northaven Road in Dallas is listed for $6,499,000 by Amy Detwiler of Compass.

The Forum involved two days of presentations and discussion, followed by a workshop on the final day with select stakeholders to discuss the key learnings and implications for Australian Government policy.
The positive feedback from participants about the value they gained from the Forum, including new knowledge and personal connections, has reinforced the value of these types of events. The Global Product Stewardship Council is now developing more regular international events, to be run in collaboration with some of the organisations who participated in the Forum.


"Communion, the last supper, bread, and wine" What does all that mean? Find out what the Bible says about "The Lord's Supper."
Jesus instituted "The Lord's Supper" or "Holy Communion", an ordinance or an observed memorial of the gifts of Jesus' body and blood for the sins of the world. Just as the Passover lamb was a type/symbol of the coming Lamb of God…The Communion bread and wine are type/symbol of the body and blood of the Lamb who came and gave his life for us.


Abstract In past scholarship, Germaine Tailleferre has been briefly written about as the only female member of Les Six and as a composer of instrumental music. Her body of piano music and a few of her other compositions have been analyzed, but her operatic output and style have to this point not been examined. This dissertation begins to fill that gap by studying the radio operas that were commissioned in 1955 by Radio France. Using parodic techniques developed early in her career, Tailleferre and her librettist, Denice Centore, created a cycle of five short operas that reflected the historical scope of French opera in miniature: Du Style Galant au Style Méchant. The fourth opera in the cycle, Monsieur Petitpois achéte un château, is a parody of the opérettes of Jacques Offenbach. This dissertation examines the parodic style of both Offenbach and Tailleferre, and shows how she successfully recreated Offenbach's compositional style in her radio opera using specific imitative techniques. In the first chapter, an overview of the scholarship on literary and musical parody and available biographical information on both Offenbach and Tailleferre are presented. Chapter 2 is an outline of the history of parody and parodic methods, linking those used in literature to the various methods of musical parody common in twentieth-century music. Chapter 3 is a discussion of Offenbach's opérettes, his style, and use of parody in his compositions. Chapter 4 is a detailed analysis of La belle Hélène, identifying characteristic parodic traits in Offenbach's compositional style. Chapter 5 is a presentation of events and mentors from Germaine Tailleferre's life that influenced her neoclassical style and compositions that displayed parodic tendencies both before and after the creation of the cycle. Finally, Chapter 6 is an in-depth analysis of Monsieur Petitpois achéte un château, connecting the parodic techniques used by Tailleferre and Centore with those identified in Offenbach's opérettes. Highlights of my American premiere staging of this opera are also included.

I've been testing our aforementioned wifi latency reduction patches in a few more conditions to see how they fare. Here's the latest.
These are clips of http://6-dot-gfblip.appspot.com/ on my laptop while my iPhone generates traffic. tl;dr our patches to the AP greatly reduce latency impact (down to about 10ms) when the AP is sending stuff downstream. Not-so-surprisingly, we don't fare as well when the station (which we haven't patched and thus can't control) is sending things upstream as fast as it can.

Indonesia Palm Oil in Indian Market Sustainable and Reliable
JAKARTA, Jan 17, 2023 - (ACN Newswire) - Over the past two years global vegetable oil markets have been upended by supply chain disruptions from COVID and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
However, as commodity markets begin to settle into a 'new normal', it is apparent that the fundamentals of the market are returning. There are three key factors that will impact the market for suppliers and purchasers. They are: sustainability and certification; growth of the Indian market; and government policies that will facilitate trade between India and Indonesia.
Sustainability has been a driving force of the debate around palm oil in Western markets. However, that debate has been narrow, and focused almost entirely on deforestation. But properly understood, and for developing countries and emerging economies such as India and Indonesia, sustainability is broader in scope, encompassing social and economic concerns. These are encapsulated in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
For producing and exporting countries, oil palm harvesting aligns with many of the SDGs, including providing stable food supply, employment, poverty reduction, and improved health outcomes.
At the same time, importing countries enjoy the benefit of a vegetable oil that is affordable, and contributes to reducing hunger and ensuring low-cost food at a time when global prices are high.
There is an additional facet to sustainability: sustainability certification. Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) is Indonesia's mandatory certification system. It's an assurance for purchasers that palm oil has been produced according to Indonesia's laws and regulations. This includes: adherence to Indonesia's laws on forests and deforestation, which have seen a drop in deforestation rates to their lowest on record; adherence to international norms on labour, including minimum pay and conditions, and prohibitions on child and slave labour; and support for local communities.
Unlike voluntary certification systems, ISPO is mandatory for all oil palm growers, whether smallholders or large plantation owners. It gives a greater assurance to Indian purchasers that all Indonesian palm oil is sustainable and supports sustainable development.
This is particularly significant as the Indian market for vegetable oil - and palm oil - grows. India imports around 60% of all its vegetable oil. These imports are split across palm oil (60%), and soybean oil and sunflower (40%). India is already the world's largest importer of palm oil, representing 18% of the global palm oil trade.
Why are imports so high? As population has increased, agricultural production has not been able to keep up, particularly when crops like palm are incredibly productive.
Simply put: India is the largest market for palm.
Despite this, per capita consumption of vegetable oil in India is relatively low, which is the case with many developing countries. The Indian market for vegetable oil is going to increase in size alongside consumption more broadly. According to the OECD FAO Agricultural Outlook, India's vegetable oil consumption will grow 2.3 per cent per annum over the next decade, compared with flat consumption in the US and EU.
India's projected growth is significant in that it is the largest projected source of growth for global vegetable market.
This continues a growth trajectory that has taken place over the past decade. The growth in demand is positively correlated to increasing incomes, urbanisation and an associated dietary shift towards processed foods.
The Indian palm oil market itself is qualitatively different from many other markets. India generally imports crude palm oil and refines it in India, for sale as cooking oil. Unlike other large markets such as the EU, there is not a major biodiesel market in India; it is used almost entirely for cooking. A market such as the EU will use palm oil for manufactured food products. This adds to the price sensitive nature of the Indian market, where a significant percentage of household income is spent on cooking oil. A significant change in price will have an impact on household budgets. This is unlike the EU, where consumers will have little problem absorbing a small increase in the price of packaged food that uses palm oil.
The downstream processing that takes place in India is relatively small compared to the EU, but it nonetheless provides significant economic benefits in terms of value add.
One of the key issues facing India in the global political environment is reliability of supply. Indonesia's exports were subject to significant disruptions earlier in the year 2022, as price spikes caused chaos in Indonesia's domestic markets, eventually resulting in an export ban of some products from Indonesia.
However, Indonesia has undertaken policy changes to ensure exports are predictable and easily facilitated.
The effect of the policies that were present earlier in the year 2022 had eased off; this was exacerbated by changing domestic policies as the Indonesian government sought to balance the need for exports with maintaining low domestic prices for everyday consumers. The export ban, in place at mid of year 2022, assisted in stabilising domestic prices, but created a negative perception in export markets.
Now, the export levy that previously existed on palm oil has been reduced to zero and will remain that way into the short term at least. The country's domestic market obligation (DMO), which requires traders to put 30 per cent of their production into the domestic market, will be in place for the time being. It is, however, predictable. Any changes that will be made in the near future will likely benefit Indian importers. (BPDPKS)

John Marshall High School is a public high school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The original location of John Marshall High School opened in 1950 at 9017 N University Ave., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The new location of the school opened in 2005 at 12201 North Portland Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The school is named in honor of the 4th Chief Justice of the United States (1755–1835), John Marshall. John Marshall was the longest working Chief Justice in Supreme Court history.

History
John Marshall High School has gone through several phases in its history. Originally opening in far North Oklahoma City 1950, it served as a high school for The Village, Britton, Quail Creek, The Greens, Val Verde and Nichols Hills. The boundaries changed several times over the years. In 2005 the students were split between the original campus and the new campus. For one semester the Oklahoma City Public Schools changed the name of the original location to Centennial High School in an attempt to use the original location as an alternative to the closed Gateway Academy. This did not work out and the remaining students were transferred to the new location. The original location was finally fully closed in 2006.

The abandoned John Marshall and its 20 acres of land are located just blocks from the incorporated community of Nichols Hills, Oklahoma Oklahoma City's historically upscale area for large pricey homes. The school site originally reported selling for $3 million to Pastor Eddie Baker and his nonprofit Golden Hills Ranch to use as a school for at-risk children ages 10 to 18. However, that deal was never completed.

In 2013, Oklahoma City developer Richard Tanenbaum of Gardener Tanenbaum Group paid the Oklahoma City School Board $400,000 for the property. Demolition of the 220,000-square-foot school began in January 2015 with Tanenbaum to build an upscale 270-unit apartment complex on the site.

Athletics
The high school won the 1995 Class 5A State Championship, beating MacArthur (Lawton) High School 21–7.

The Lao She Memorial Hall, former residence of Lao She, is an ordinary small courtyard. The three rooms and two flanking chambers facing south have been kept intact, just as when Lao She and his family lived here.
The rooms in the east and west wings of the residence hold exhibits about Lao She's childhood and his literary career through six aspects, displaying a large number of the valuable books, photos, manuscripts and items that Lao She used during his lifetime.
It has collected numerous versions and translations of Lao She's literary works from different periods. Camel Xiang Zi alone has more than 30 translations. The modest scope of the exhibition provides visitors a vivid review of the lifelong literary achievements of Lao She, impressing people with the unique charm of his works and his lasting influence on younger generations.
