#Crucial21DbW: Charmed – S1E15 – "Switches & Stones" directed by Claudia Yarmy
Episodes like this demonstrate that ancient and seemingly irrelevant myths and fantasies can still be used to reflect real issues that are affecting women today.
When the reboot of Charmed was announced, I was skeptical of what an updated version of the beloved witch drama could bring to the table. However, in its first season alone, the show has given us impressive episodes dedicated to female mythical creatures such as succubuses, sirens, and actual manic pixie dream girls. In the episode "Switches & Stones" the creature in question is Medusa (Morgan Taylor Campbell), who has been turning students on the college campus to stone.
The Elders want to kill Medusa, as they would any other demon, but Macy (Madeleine Mantock) does some research and discovers Medusa was actually a witch, just like them. After being raped by Poseidon, Medusa was turned into a monster by a jealous Athena. "How is that fair – she's the victim?" Macy asks.
Also, it turns out that Medusa isn't picking her victims at random. She was accidentally summoned by a victim of revenge porn. The Charmed Ones discover the first statue was the taker of the images, with those who are sharing them also being targeted.
Unlike typical Greek mythology, this Medusa is attacking those who turn away from her gaze – people who are too afraid to look at her and accept they are part of the problem. Rather than go along with the Elders' plan of killing Medusa, Macy tells her she sees her, that she knows she was "cursed to cover up the crime of a powerful man", and that she can let go, which Medusa does.
Episodes like this demonstrate that ancient and seemingly irrelevant myths and fantasies can still be used to reflect real issues that are affecting women today. The tendency to victim blame, to slut shame, and to only see the flaws in those drawing attention to the issue is a real thing, and as Mel (Melonie Diaz) points out: "If we don't do anything, we're all complicit."
It's refreshing to see Charmed not rehashing the same storylines from the original run, but instead combining fantasy with contemporary themes and real issues. Medusa, "the patron demon of the slut-shamed," is an excellent vehicle to show that angry women need to be listened to and not ignored.
Charmed is available to stream on Amazon, The CW, Google Play, Netflix, Vudu, and YouTube. Follow Charmed on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and on the series's website, and follow Claudia Yarmy on Twitter.

We started with Ontario and streamlined the stat pay reports. What this means is that you no longer need to pick the stat day (we pull that from the setup). And we've redesigned the page to use the new layout within the site, meaning a cleaner, responsive design. And faster to load with all the information you need.
We are going to add the other provinces/states shortly.

the composer/arranger
A series of blogs from musician to musician. Comments are invited which will receive a human response.
THIS is an Orchestra
I would like to warn the reader that this blog contains opinions that may not be shared by all.
The habit of joining together with other musicians during performances is as old as music itself but the systematic arrangement of instrumental groups, that we now call 'orchestration', is comparatively new. It is a feature of formalized European music, other native cultures following a different path, as they do to this day.
The Church used to be virtually the only source of cultivated musicianship and a composer would be obliged to use whatever group of musicians happened to be available, leaving no one aside, and find them all something to do. This pattern continued even when wealthy patrons arrived to help composers pay the rent. The requirements of liturgy also gave shape to early music.
Even when the orchestra, as we now recognize it, began to take shape, a keyboard was still used as the centre of everything, the keyboard player becoming, in effect, the conductor. Combining the keyboard with other instruments limits the keyboard styles available, especially within contrapuntal works, which were common. Anything that emphasizes vertical structures, together with the correspondence of simultaneous down-beats and accents, will reduce the contrapuntal quality of music. A piano or harpsichord would also have helped to keep amateur musicians in tune. They also assisted the assimilation of the music from the point of view of listeners for whom the experience of aurally 'scanning' large groups of musicians, spatially separated and sometimes playing different but complementary roles, would have seemed rather strange. We take it for granted nowadays.
Improvements had also taken place in the manufacture of musical instruments, partly to ensure that they kept pace with the increase in virtuosity which, too, increased possibilities. (The clarinet was a recent addition to the orchestra in Mozart's time).
The string section, because of its huge range and flexibility, became the force that, usually, bound everything together, other instruments being used to give occasional variety and to provide colour.
The orchestra as we know it
When virtually any instrument would be available, as a matter of course, composers could write in a style that matched each instrument's characteristics. Instruments no longer had to cover a multitude of sins. The majority of attack forms are achievable on most instruments but some instruments lend themselves, for example, to smooth cantabile playing better than others. Woodwinds are capable of lightness and dexterity and feel more at ease when playing at an extremely low volume. Any brass player knows that maintaining a good quality of sound whilst retaining good intonation and clear articulation, at low volumes, requires a lot of practice. It also requires physical and mental flexibility following prolonged loud passages. On the other hand, brass instruments can provide heavy attack forms better than other wind instruments. Woodwinds in the high register sound relaxed but the listener is always aware of the effort involved in playing high notes on brass, which imparts a feeling of power and even aggression.
There is also a natural hierarchy regarding the vertical placement of instrumental sections. It usually feels unnatural to place sustained woodwind harmonies below brass harmonies because of the woodwinds' comparative lack of sonority but it might, conceivably, be done for special effects. The woodwinds frequently double the brass either in the same register or in the octave (or double octave). Exact doubling is preferred to avoid 'stray' notes standing out at the expense of the other parts of harmony. In other words, it will sound as if the parts were supposed to be the same but something went wrong. As sections deviate more in terms of mobility and accent, more freedom will be available.
Harmony, melody, rhythm and instrumental resource are a composer's most obvious tools but differing degrees of transparency and density are available. Density is also a matter of style; some composers habitually used transparent orchestration, perhaps due to the fact that they had tidy minds and disliked 'clutter'. Density can occur incidentally as a result of the failure to handle combined orchestral sections systematically or because the placement of instrumental parts pays insufficient heed to acoustic requirements. Congested voice leading can also bring it about.
I myself have always been less inclined to double individual parts in orchestration in order to obtain different tone colours, preferring a purer style. Nevertheless, individual 'lines' are sometimes intended to stand out where the part has a clearly defined shape or tunefulness or where, perhaps, it is thematically linked to something occurring elsewhere in the piece but, generally, I prefer 'section-by-section' writing because instruments of a similar tone colour tend to cohere. Anything they perform simultaneously will be perceived to be linked together, leaving the ear of the listener to expect similar sounding instruments to form some kind of acceptable structure in their own right.
The English-style brass band is a good example. With the obvious exception of the trombones, all instruments, from the Eb soprano down to the BBb tubas, belong to the same family, raising the temptation to break down the sections and to treat the band as one whole unit. It is often done to allow arrangements to be playable by varied instrumentations as, for example, when members were absent because of industrial injury or illness or because they were involved in trade union activities. Top level bands will always have a full lineup, where so-called 'special' arrangements may be used.
Double stops
I never use double-stops in the string section, especially with the cellos and basses, where they will sound 'muddy', because of factors within the instrument itself*, and where they are likely to conflict with trombones in the same register. It is better to reserve them for solo passages.
Whereas fretted instruments, such as the guitar, are tuned to equal temperament, the tuning of unfretted instruments is influenced by just intonation. Some tuning techniques used will naturally lead a player in this direction. This subject is part of the wider problem of acoustics, which requires knowledge of the mathematics involved for a complete understanding.
The manner in which the two methods are actually combined in music is a different matter. For example, when moving in semitones from c>d the c# will be slightly higher in pitch than its enharmonic equivalent, the note db, will be when moving downwards in the opposite direction, d>c. These are interpretational, not acoustic considerations. Notes moving chromatically 'lean' towards the note of resolution. Fixed pitch instruments do not enjoy this luxury. We trombonists do it all the time.
As the music of the 20th century evolved, composers sought to extract new sounds from conventional instruments, eventually being rivalled by electronic effects, which were also combined with the orchestra. Music notation programs now offer some very authentic sound fonts which emulate live instruments very well but there is an important difference: each part of an orchestration may be played by several instruments, giving considerable weight to each part. This is especially true of the strings, particularly where 'Hollywood' style divisi styles emulate jazz and big band scoring. The technique requires careful handling.
A typical 20 piece Radio orchestra string section comprises 12 violins (6 first, 6 second), 4 violas and 4 cellos. Frequently only one acoustic bass will be used. The block harmony style resembling an eight piece big band brass section requires more strings on the top part (melody) than on the other parts, distributed: violins 6,2,2,2,/violas2,2,/cellos2,2 . The fifth voice down (2 violas in this example) will also feature the melody in the octave. Dividing the strings into violins 4,4,4, violas 4, cellos 4 gives a four part block style with the melody in the octave. Here, the powerful support of the cellos playing the melody obviates the need to increase the number of violins on the top parts. Strengthening the melody helps to paper over the cracks that are often present in each part, melodically, in these block scoring styles for strings. With the big band, with one player to each part, the problem is less acute.
Complex divisi writing is divided by desk. There are two players to each desk (music stand).
The book illustrates examples of various string styles, including those that are more typical of string writing.
* I doubt that anyone fully understands the effect of two or more notes resonating within the body of stringed instruments.

Q: Read text file and split each newline into a string array So basically I'm reading a text file that has a bunch of lines. I need to extract certain lines from the text file and add those specific lines into string array. I've been trying to split each newLine with: "\n" , "\r". This did not work. I keep getting this error as well:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
    at A19010.main(A19010.java:47)
Here is the code:
Path objPath = Paths.get("dirsize.txt");
    if (Files.exists(objPath)){

     File objFile = objPath.toFile();
     try(BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                             new FileReader(objFile))){
          String line = in.readLine();

           while(line != null){

            String[] linesFile = line.split("\n");
            String line0 = linesFile[0];
            String line1 = linesFile[1];
            String line2 = linesFile[2];

            System.out.println(line0 + "" + line1);
            line = in.readLine();
           }

        }
         catch(IOException e){

             System.out.println(e);
         }

    }
    else
    {
      System.out.println(
              objPath.toAbsolutePath() + " doesn't exist");
    }

A: String[] linesFile = new String[] {line}; // this array is initialized with a single element
String line0 = linesFile[0]; // fine
String line1 = linesFile[1]; // not fine, the array has size 1, so no element at second index
String line2 = linesFile[2];

You're creating a String[] linesFile with one element, line, but then trying to access elements at index 1 and 2. This will give you an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
You're not actually splitting anything here. in.readLine();, as the method says, reads a full line from the file.
Edit: You can add lines (Strings) dynamically to a list instead of an array, since you don't know the size.
List<String> lines = new LinkedList<String>(); // create a new list
String line = in.readLine(); // read a line at a time
while(line != null){ // loop till you have no more lines
    lines.add(line) // add the line to your list
    line = in.readLine(); // try to read another line
}

A: readLine() method reads a entire line from the input but removes the newLine characters from it. When you split the line on \n character, you will not find one in the String. Hence, you get the exception.
Please, refer the answer in this link for more clarity.

A: You are initializing your String array with 1 element, namely line. linesFile[0] is therefore line and the rest of your array is out of bounds.

A: Try this:
String[] linesFile = line.split("SPLIT-CHAR-HERE");
if(linesFile.length >= 3)
{
            String line0 = linesFile[0];
            String line1 = linesFile[1];
            String line2 = linesFile[2];
// further logic here
}else
{
//handle invalid lines here
}

A: You are using array to store the strings. Instead  use ArrayList from Java as ArrayList are dynamically growing. after your reading operation completes convert it into array.
    String line = in.readLine();
      ArrayList<String> str_list = new ArrayList<String>();
      String[] strArr = new String[str_list.size()];

           while(line != null){
             str_list.add(line);
             line = in.readLine();
           }
    // at the end of the operation convert Arraylist to array
return   str_list.toArray(strArr);

A: The issue here is that you are creating a new String array every time your parser reads in a new line. You then populate only the very first element in that String array with the line that is being read in with:
String[] linesFile = new String[] {line};

Since you create a new String[] with one element every single time your while loop runs from the top, you lose the values it stored from the previous iteration.
The solution is to use new String[]; right before you enter the while loop. If you don't know how to use ArrayList, then I suggest a while loop like this:
int numberOfLine = 0;
while (in.readLine() != null)
{
    numberOfLine++;
}
String linesFile = new String[numberOfLine];

This will let you avoid using a dynamically resized ArrayList because you know how many lines your file contains from the above while loop. Then you would keep an additional counter (or resuse numberOfLine since we have no use for it anymore) so that you can populate this array:
numberOfLine = 0;
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(objFile)); // reset the buffer
while ((String line = in.readLine()) != null)
{
    linesFile[numberOfLine] = line;
    numberOfLine++;
}

At this point linesFile should be correctly populated with the lines in your file, such that linesFile[i] can be used to access the i'th line in the file.

Background: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has gained commercial importance in food and health industries due to increasing scientific evidence linking its consumption to better health outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to detect the active substances (phenols, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins) in the pomegranate peel and their effectiveness against bacteria isolated from intestine and stomach which included Salmonella and Escherichia coli, which are responsible for most gastrointestinal diseases. Materials and Methods: The experiment was designed randomly and was statistically analyzed using the least significant difference at P < 0.05. The plant extracts were obtained by alcoholic extraction using Soxholet. The compounds were diagnosed qualitatively and quantitatively using reference methods. Results: The results showed that peels contained high concentration compounds of alkaloid, tannic acid, and saponins. A 15% alcohol extract gave a high inhibition rate compared to the water extract and alcohol at a rate of 40 mm corresponds to 19 mm in the chloroform extract and 20 mm in the water extract at the concentration of 15%. A 15% concentration of alcoholic extract with antacid ampicillin and chlorophyll was compared with high efficacy compared to effective anti-ampicillin.

Med J Babylon [serial online] 2018 [cited 2021 Jan 17];15:1-4. Available from: https://www.medjbabylon.org/text.asp?2018/15/1/1/227807
Pomegranate tree very branchy and different species fruits are sweet taste, including sour and moderate. The pomegranate was mentioned at the Pharaohs and used to treat intestinal worms. Al-Razi said that the pomegranate peel was used to treat stomach ulcers and was used to treat chronic diarrhea.[1],[2]
Pomegranate contains a lot of antioxidants, and pomegranate peel, which occupies about 26% to 30% of the weight of the fruit contains large amounts of antioxidants, such as phenolic compounds such as flavonoids (anthocyanin's) and catechins and compounds Other flavonoids) as well as tannins. The medicinal value of pomegranate peels is due to their containment of tannin and phenols as antioxidants that inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins in addition to the presence of aminoacids.[3] The most important causes of intestinal infections and infectious ulcers are opportunistic and pathogenic bacteria which represent a group of species which are distinguished by biochemical tests such as bacilli ( Salmonella More Details and Escherichia More Details coli) which is a major cause and assistant in most infections, infectious ulcers, and diarrhea and may go beyond that to infections in the urinary system.[4]
The use of plants and medicinal herbs in the field of health protection does not cause side effects, as the patient adhered to the terms of treatment, and because of the high prices of medicines and industrial cheating that is currently associated with the negative repercussions on the body such as increased blood circulation and other diseases, which the goal of the study to pay attention to medicinal plants and use as a treatment alternative to shed light on the most important chemical ingredients in scaling, quantification, and testing of the biological efficacy of pomegranate extract in the growth of some isolated bacteria from intestinal infections.
Pomegranate fruit collection
The fruits of pomegranates were obtained from a farm in Diyala province, Iraq. Fruits were harvested after ripening and the grains were taken away. Peels with pulp dried at 25°C for 7 days and then placed in plastic bottles for use.
Qualitative detection of chemical components in raw extract of pomegranate peel
To obtain the most important chemical components of the raw extract of pomegranate peel, perform a qualitative chemical analysis by taking 100 g of pomegranate peel and grinding them and adding them to 200 ml of distilled water. Then, dehydrate at 50 mL temperature for 12 hours and solvent deposition in 200 ml of distilled water again and used in qualitative tests for both tannins, alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, glycosides, and soaps.[5],[6]
Quantification of chemical components in pomegranate peel extract
Determination of phenols
5 ml of crude extract has been added that recorded in the previous paragraph and the solution consisting of 2 ml of ammonium hydroxide, 10 ml of distilled water, 5 ml of alcohol, and then left for 1 h after that, sample was read by spectrophotometer at 505 nm. Prepare standard solution of ammonium hydroxide and alcohol for comparison.[7]
Determination of alkaloids
Dissolve 5 g of sample in 200 ml of acetic acid mixture and ethanol by 15:1. Gradually, add the ammonium hydroxide to the precipitate and spray the solution and the solvent and precipitate again, which represents alkaloids and is weighed.[6]
Determination of tannins
500 mg of the sample was dissolved in 50 mL of distilled water in a vibrator holder for 1 hour and then filtered. The water was then added again and filtered, then 2 ml of dissolved iron chloride was added in hydroxide acid. Potassium cyanide is measured at 120 nm.[8]
Determination of saponin
20 g of sample was taken and 80 ml of ethanol was added to the precipitate and it was reextracted from 20 mL ether. The process was repeated several times and then 60 mL of butanol was added, filtered, and washed with 5% sodium chloride. The weight of precipitation that represents the soap content in the sample.[9]
Determination of flavonoids
Ten gram of plant sample is taken and 100 ml of methanol alcohol is added to the solution. The solution is filtered with filter paper (Whatman No. 41), which evaporates the extract, and the residue weight, which represents the flavonoids, are present in the sample.[7]
Preparation of different concentrations of crude extract
The water extract of the pomegranate husks was prepared with a 10% and 15% concentration of dissolve 10 and 15 g of sample in 100 ml of distilled water after being extracted by the Soxhlet using three solvent (ethyl alcohol, chloroform, and water).[10]
Preparation of the isolates
Bacterial isolates from the Yarmouk General Hospital were taken from patients with digestive health problems and were isolated from stool and vomiting samples. Laboratory tests were conducted at the Ministry of Science and Technology/Food Contamination Research Center.
Biological efficiency of extract (alcohol, water, and chloroform) against intestinal bacteria
The diffusion method around the drill was used to measure the biological efficacy of pomegranate extract against the growth of some bacterial isolates. The salinity of the nutritious medium in the bacterial larvae, containing (4 × 910 units), formed a colony/ml by means of a cotton swab sterilized in a 90 mm diameter dish and drilled with a 4 mm central diameter on the middle surface of the plant with the cork hole and placed 200 μl of the preprepared extract in each hole. The dishes were incubated for 5 days at 37°C and the results were recorded by measuring the inhibition diameter in millimeters around each hole. The drilling control represents water, chloroform, and alcohol only.[11]
Comparison of biological efficacy of extract of alcohol 15% with the ampicillin and chloramphenicol against pathogenic bacteria
15% of the alcohol extract was tested in comparison with ampicillin and chloramphenicol (obtained from SDI, Iraq) with absolute concentration (without adding any other substance), and a concentration of 50 mg/100 ml perform the test as in the preceding paragraph.[12]
The collected data were calculated and analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20th version (IBM SPSS Software, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A). for windows.
Qualitative detection of chemical components of crude extract of pomegranate peel
The results show the qualitative chemical detection of the active ingredients in the pomegranate extract, which shows that the raw extract contains alkaloids, tannins, phenols, flavonoids, and soap shown in [Table 1] which are inhibitory substances for the growth of bacteria. Tannins and alkaloids inhibit the growth of isolated bacteria from pathogenic infections from multiple parts of the body.[12] Most medicinal herbs are effective because they contain active substances and ingredients. Most pharmacists have used them to extract and purify these materials to make them an effective independent substance. Pomegranate husks are an ideal reservoir for most materials. Tannins and alkaloids which are effective because they contain these substances and other amino acids and organic substances.[13]
Table 1: Detection of the most important chemical components of the raw pomegranate peel extract
Pomegranate peel contains a variety of active substances that give pomegranate its medical and therapeutic importance.[14]
Quantitative detection of chemical components of the extract of pomegranate peel
[Table 2] shows the percentage of the chemical components of the crude extract for pomegranate peels, which shows that the tannins were the most common in the extract.[15] Active substances are important in increasing the biological effectiveness of the herbs in which they exist and work to inhibit the types of bacteria and both works (tannins and alkaloids) to treat diarrhea and intestinal colic. Pomegranate acid is best in treating patients with gastrointestinal problems where they have demonstrated efficacy against intestinal bacteria such as E. coli, an opportunistic organism that has the ability to attack the body and contribute to the increase of the disease.[16] Quantitative substance dependence in medicinal plants determines the therapeutic efficacy of these plants in eliminating the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.[17]
Table 2: Percentage of chemical components in raw extract of pomegranate peel
Bioactivity of alcohol, chloroform, and water extracts of pomegranate peel against pathogenic bacteria
The results of the study showed the effect of the alcoholic, chloroform, and water extracts prepared from the pomegranate peel on the growth of some intestinal bacterial strains of the family Enterobacteriaceae and isolated from the patients who are lying in Yarmouk General Hospital. The results showed a significant inhibition of both types of bacteria, and this study is in agreement with other studies in the same field.[18]
[Table 3] shows that the 15% alcohols extract gave a high inhibition rate compared to the water extract, and alcohol at a rate of 40 mm corresponds to 19 mm in the chloroform extract and 20 mm in the water extract at the concentration of 15%. This may be due to the quantity and quality of active substances released, and alcohol free is greater compared to chloroform and water. Alcohol is an excellent solvent for most medicinal herbs to be studied. Alcoholic extract in most researchers in the field of biological best effectiveness on water extracts and chloroform. Because the active substance that affects bacteria dissolves in organic solvents rather than dissolved in water.[19],[20]
Table 3: Bioactivity of alcohol, chloroform, and water extracts of pomegranate peel against intestinal bacteria
The efficacy of the alcohol extract was compared to 15% with antibiotics ampicillin and chloramphenicol, which is widely used in the treatment of most bacterial infections; [Table 4] shows that the alcohol extract has no effect in inhibiting it in the case of bacteria Salmonella where the extract was given an effective similar to ampicillin at a rate of 21 mm each, taking into account that the concentration used for antimicrobial is high and is not used in regular and routine medicines and this is consistent with [11] who confirmed the superiority and efficacy of plant medicinal extracts on antibiotics.

Studio Kvartal 95 (ukrajinsky: Сту́дія «Кварта́л-95»; rusky: Сту́дия «Кварта́л-95») je ukrajinská produkční společnost založená roku 2003. Produkuje filmy, televizní pořady či pořádá koncerty. Tým spolupracovníků se dal dohromady již roku 1997, v rámci známého ruského zábavného pořadu KVN (kdysi založeného podle vzoru českého pořadu Hádej, hádej, hadači). Studio na sebe později upozornilo zábavnými pořady v ukrajinské televizi, jako Večernij Kvartal, Svaty a Sluha národa, v němž se jako herec proslavil jeden ze zakladatelů studia Volodymyr Zelenskyj, který se roku 2019 stal ukrajinským prezidentem. Po jeho zvolení se řada jeho spolupracovníků ze Studia Kvartal 95 stala členy jeho administrativy a jeden dokonce šéfem tajné služby.

The box itself looks barely larger than some RTX 2070 cards. Inside the Gaming Box there is a GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card and a 450W power supply. Thanks to the punchy power supply, the Gaming Box can power the graphics card and three USB 3.0 devices. Furthermore one of the USB ports supports quick charging too. Since the PSU is rated 80 Plus Gold, it's not going to waste too much energy.
Although the graphics card itself comes with a some sort of lighting as well, the enclosure includes RGB LEDs, which can be configured using Gigabyte's RGB Fusion app. The rear part of the box also comes with a set of useful connectors. There are the four USB 3.0 ports, we already mentioned, one Thunderbolt 3, one HDMI and three DisplayPort connectors.
Gigabyte hasn't come forward with details on pricing and availability yet, but we certainly keep you posted if there are updates.

Are we going to witness a tough fight between the ruling party and BJP in West Bengal 2021 election?
It is now crystal clear that the Assembly election in West Bengal in 2021 is going to be one of the toughest tussles in the political history of India. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongly determined to replace the ruling party, All India Trinamool Congress (AITMC) in West Bengal. On the other side, AITMC is also equally ready to shield their 10 years' reign.
But why Narendra Modi and Amit Shah only targeting West Bengal?
' Mamata Banerjee is the only regional leader who is a formidable rival for the BJP and West Bengal is a frontier that BJP wants to conquer. This is why Amit Shah and other party leaders have visited the state so many times '-said Sekhar Gupta, Editor-in-Chief of The Print.
Religion plays a vital role here. It is not only a fight between two political parties but also a contest between the aggressive Hindutva craze of BJP and AITMC which is popular as close to Muslim Communal politics.
India is a well-known secular country. Moreover, in West Bengal Hindus and Muslims live together in harmony. The biggest issue of BJP would be their aggressive Hinduism agenda in West Bengal.
On the other side, after the Singur-Nandigram case, Mamata Banerjee has created an image of development. There are many schemes such as Kanyashree or distribution of cycle to the students, distribution of rice at a lower price, etc. have been launched by AITMC. Although there are several ideological conversion took place in AITMC, Mamata Banerjee has established herself as an image of secularism.
In contrast, Suvendu Adhikari, a heavyweight candidate from AITMC recently joined BJP. It can assume that this incident will have a strong impact on the 2021 election.
If we look back, in 2011 BJP was capable to gain seats in the state. The party contested 289 of the 294 votes but ended up with a vote share of 4.06 percent.
In 2016, BJP contested 291 out of 294 seats, and in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the party was able to capture 18 seats of 42 in the state.
"The BJP has worked doggedly over the last ten years and increased its vote share by ten times.' Said Sekhar Gupta.
In 2011, AITMC displaced Left Front which had been in power for 34 years. However, the question remains whether it will change again the ruling party once again in 2021.
In the end, we can say whatever the result will be, the government should keep an eye on the election center so that there is violence over the vote. State and Central both are interlinked. So, the clash between state and central ruling party should not affect the state-central connection even after the declaration of result.

The Cambridge Bobcats Baseball Team returned to their winning ways with two big "dubs" on the road today. Held at Franciscan University, the Bobcats took to the field as part of a three team venue including host Steubenville and visiting John Marshall (WV). Wanting to make amends for last night's loss to New Philadelphia, the boys in blue came out strong against Steubenville in Game 1 playing well on both sides of the ball and earning a 7-1 victory. Game 2 saw an even more dominant performance by the Cats with a 10-0 shutout of John Marshall in five innings with pitcher Sean Perkins throwing a no-hitter.
The Bobcats return to the friendly confines of Don Coss Field on Monday to take on River View; first pitch set for 5:00pm.

Q: cannot switch on the microsoft update? I haven't turned on the windows 7 box for about 9 months. When I try to check the updates, it is supper slow. So I turned of the update other Microsoft product option in windows update -> Change settings. After about 40hours calculation the windows update finally figured out all updates it required. After installed all updates, I reboot the computer.
Everything seems fine. However, when I click the find out more in Windows update -> get updates for other microsoft products. It directed me to this url:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5
instead of:

So I cannot switch on Microsoft update any more. When I try to directly update the Office/VS in `File->help->check for updates'. It brought me to the same URL.
Since I've already turned off the microsoft update, the checkbox in change setting for it has gone.
How can I re-enable the Microsoft update right now?

A: Finally I found a solution for this here.
- add *.microsoft.com in Internet Explorer 11 to trusted sites

- add microsoft.com in IE to compatibility view

Apply, close IE then press once again Find out more.
