Industrial production contracts for third straight month in October, inflation spikes to 5.54% in November
Factory output, measured in terms of Index of Industrial Production (IIP), had expanded by 8.4 per cent in October 2018. Meanwhile, riding on the back of higher food prices, retail inflation rose to over three-year high of 5.54 per cent in November.

Contracting for the third consecutive month, factory output for October declined by 3.8 per cent, with all three sectoral constituents — manufacturing, mining and electricity — recording negative growth, data released by Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) showed on Thursday. Meanwhile, riding on the back of higher food prices, retail inflation rose to over three-year high of 5.54 per cent in November.
Factory output, measured in terms of Index of Industrial Production (IIP), had expanded by 8.4 per cent in October 2018.
The manufacturing sector, which carries a weight of 77.63 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), contracted for the third month in a row by 2.1 per cent in October compared to a 8.2 per cent growth last year, while mining sector output, with a weight of 14.37 per cent in the index, contracted 8 per cent as against 7.3 per cent growth in the corresponding period last fiscal.
What is the IIP?
As the name suggests, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) maps the change in the volume of production in Indian industries. More formally, it chooses a basket of industrial products — ranging from the manufacturing sector to mining to energy, creates an index by giving different weight to each sector and then tracks the production every month. Finally, the index value is compared to the value it had in the same month last year to figure out the economy's industrial health.
Power sector growth declined by 12.2 per cent in October this year, as compared to a 10.8 per cent rise last year. Capital goods production, which is a barometer of investment, declined by 21.9 per cent in October compared to 16.9 per cent rise in the year-ago month.
The consumer durables and consumer non-durables have recorded growth of (-) 18 per cent and (-) 1.1 per cent, respectively. In terms of industries, 18 out of 23 industry groups in the manufacturing sector have shown negative growth during October 2019 as compared to the same month last year.
Retail inflation touches 3-year high of 5.54% in November
Meanwhile, data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) showed retail inflation touching a three-year high of 5.54 per cent in November. The inflation based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 4.62 per cent in October, and 2.33 per cent in November 2018.
Data revealed that inflation in food rose to 10.01 per cent. This compares with 7.89 per cent October and (-) 2.61 per cent in the year ago-month. The previous high of CPI was 6.07 in July 2016. The Reserve Bank of India has been mandated by the government to contain inflation in the range of 4 per cent.
How analysts reacted
"The inflation rate at 5.54 per cent is heading towards the upper limit set by the RBI at 6 per cent. However, this surge in inflation was expected with the skyrocketing prices in vegetables, as food and beverages have a share of around 45 per cent in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The worrying fact is the low core inflation rate that is not showing any signs of improvement at 3.5 per cent. It reflects the tepid demand in the economy," Deepthi Mary Mathew, Economist at Geojit Financial Services said.
"At over 5.5% retail inflation is clearly much ahead of our expectations. But this is again due to the non-core part, mainly vegetables. Core inflation remains benign and trending downwards. The IIP number, although in negative, is better than expected given that in Oct'19 there are several holidays when factories were shut. This reflects a reasonably good festive sales and perhaps clearing of inventories. While a large part of food inflation is likely to soften over the next two months, we expect the trend inflation to remain elevated. Average inflation in 2020 at 4-4.5% range would be much higher than in 2019. With the likely bottoming of growth and elevated inflation as well as concerns on large fiscal slippages, the policy rate may remain in hold in FY20," Sujan Hajra, Chief Economist and Executive Director, Anand Rathi Shares & Stock Brokers wrote in a reaction to the inflation data.
"India's Nov inflation has surged to 40-month high of 5.54%, that is a 130bps higher than RBI's medium-term target of 4%. This is mainly due to substantial increase in food prices. While Oct IIP print still remains in contraction at -3.8%. At this month's policy, RBI refrained from cutting rates due to uptick in CPI despite a slow growth. If inflation continues to rise further than RBI may continue to maintain a pause at the Feb policy," Rahul Gupta, Head of Research – Currency, Emkay Global Financial Services said.

Showing posts with the label Cariol Horne
Good cop, after she was fired to save bad cop from defeating man with handcuffs
Cariol Horne was fired from the Buffalo Police Department in 2006 after she stopped a fellow officer from choking a handcuffed suspect. Horne has been fighting for 15 years to get her pension. On Tuesday, a state judge vacated an earlier ruling that affirmed her firing. The decision was prompted by the police killing of George Floyd, who was shot and killed by police in 2020. The city of Buffalo is now considering a law that would force officers to intervene if they see another officer using excessive force. It's unclear how many days Horne would need to work to regain her pension, however. "My vindication comes at a 15-year cost, but what has been gained can not be measured," Horne said after the ruling. "I never wanted another police officer to go through what I had gone through to do the right thing," she told the NY Times. The judge ruled that Horne would get her back pay and benefits, and granted her the back pay she had been denied. Buffalo, New York, pol

Hero Cop Stops Fellow Cop from Choking Handcuffed Man, So She was Beaten and Fired
"I don't regret it, I'd do it again" Buffalo, NY — While killer cops get sent on paid vacations for the most heinous of acts, like the murder of Breonna Taylor, it is hard to imagine what it takes to get fired immediately. As TFTP has reported over the years, however, it turns out, the answer to getting fired is often times, simply being a good cop . Former Buffalo Police Officer, Cariol Horne has been fighting for her pension since she was fired after 19 years on the force, over an incident in 2006 when she stopped a fellow officer from choking a handcuffed suspect. For her heroic actions, instead of getting rewarded and allowed to retire, Horne was beaten and fired. Since that day, despite not receiving her pension, Horne has dedicated much of her life to fighting police brutality.

Sunny on HMS Lancaster
Parrots comprise more than 350 species of birds, inhabiting the warm continents. Bone fossils dating back 40 million years have been found in areas now comprising Northern Europe. The earliest visual evidence of these birds dates to around 5000 years ago to caves in Brazil. The first written reference to parrots dates back more than 3000 years ago in Indian literature.
Parrots have been admired and collected for millennia, and have been pets, status symbols and ships' companions, revered for their beauty and intelligence. In Alexandrian Greece, parrots brought back from India were kept in fancy cages made of precious metals and other rare materials. In later eras, cages were encrusted with jewels and became so elaborate that they eclipsed the birds within. When the Roman Empire waned, interest in parrots temporarily declined, but revived again during the age of the Crusades. Merchants, explorers and soldiers brought them back to Europe, where they remained in vogue until the present.
Pope Martin V even appointed a "keeper of the parrots" to protect talking parrots brought back to Europe by Portuguese explorers to India.
In maritime lore, parrots have been associated with pirates, who certainly collected them as status symbols and appreciated them for their entertaining ways and ability to mimic human language.
In the modern era parrots continued to be collected and kept as pets by royalty, but also began going to sea as pets with various navies. They continue to sail today, as pets on private vessels. A famous African Grey named Sunny, served aboard a Royal Navy frigate in the early 21st century, and frequently used colorful language at inappropriate times. Nevertheless, she was beloved by Captain and crew. She later developed a nervous condition and retired to Wales, where she is happy and learning new less-salty words.
Last year, the Museum adopted a wonderful mascot as our muse. PIM serves as a tribute to these versatile and long-lived birds!

Blacksand Nights
21st September 2019 - 4 Comments
Righto, the new British Old-School campaign is coming together. Last night, ahead of a rather boozy Delta Green game, I pitched the campaign to my players and, I'm happy to report, it was received with enthusiasm. The basic idea is a kind of sword & sorcery "Pratchettesque pirates" setup that I'm tentatively calling Blacksand Nights.
Basically, the game will be a medieval pirate sandbox, with players taking on the role of budding freebooters. They won't start with pirate ships, however, and will probably have to loot Firetop Mountain (or win the Deathtrap Dungeon prize money) to afford their first cog. The system will be a modified version of the Dragon Warriors RPG. The setting will be Titan from the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks (specifically Northern Allansia, Port Blacksand and environs).
I think humour is a really important component of the British Old-School. Grimdark collapses under the weight of its own self-importance without levity. So, Terry Pratchett's Discworld books will be a big influence in terms of theme and tone (alongside Monty Python, Blackadder, The Young Ones, and 2000 A.D.). Ankh-Morpork and Port Blacksand have always blurred into one in my imagination, anyway.
In terms of gameplay, the biggest influence will probably be the Fabled Lands gamebooks, which strike an excellent balance between providing a structured framework of systems and missions on the one hand (e.g. trading, travelling, sailing, etc.), and freedom to roam and explore on the other. Obviously, a sandbox tabletop RPG allows exponentially more freedom than any gamebook, but I think Fabled Lands nevertheless has plenty of neat ideas to pinch.
As an aside, Dave Morris was behind both Dragon Warriors and (with Jamie Thomson) Fabled Lands, and I really do think we ought to have him stuffed, pickled, and publicly displayed as one of the most innovative British game designers of the last few decades.
I will be modifying and customising everything. So, I've put together a custom character sheet here (based on my earlier generic Dragon Warriors sheet).
Seeing as I want to evoke the sword & sorcery feel of Fighting Fantasy / Discworld, I'll restrict my players to three classes:
That keeps things simple, and means that each class has its own niche (fighting, spellcasting, thievery).
For extra variety, I'll keep all three core races from Dragon Warriors:
The Dwarf is able to craft magic weapons and armour from 4th level (originally 7th level, but I'm changing it to 4th level because I've cut the Mystics – which craft magic arms from 4th level – from the game, so Dwarves won't be stepping on anyone's toes).
Instead of the Dragon Warriors XP system, I'm using the classic "XP for gold" from old editions of D&D. I'll add the twist that only gold spent on otherwise "useless" activities (carousing, donations to the church, purchasing luxuries, etc.) counts for XP.
I've renamed a bunch of terms that were probably originally changed by Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson just to avoid lawsuits from TSR:
Renamed "Reflexes" to "Dexterity"
Added a "Constitution" score
Renamed "Psychic Talent" to "Wisdom"
Renamed "Looks" to "Charisma"
Renamed "Armour Factor (AF)" to "Armour Class (AC)"
Renamed "Armour Bypass Roll (ABR)" to "Armour Penetration (AP)"
Renamed "Rank" to "Level"
I've also standardised the statistic modifiers based on Swords & Wizardry Whitebox (so a stat of 3-6 yields a -1 penalty, and a 15-18 gets a +1 bonus). This is simpler than Dragon Warriors out of the box, and yet should produce a flatter power curve than B/X D&D.
I've simplified which secondary attributes get modified by which primary attributes. So, Strength now modifies Attack and Defence, Intelligence now modifies Magical Attack and Magical Defence, Dexterity now modifies Evasion and Stealth, and Wisdom now modifies Perception.
Finally, I'll probably use the d6 initiative system from Lamentations of the Flame Princess (which is quick and easy to use).
That's enough for now!
Callum says
Would you be willing to sell a scan of this campaign?
It looks great- i would love to run it!
Uncaring Cosmos says
@Callum
Apologies for the slow response!
I'll upload everything for free. For Blacksand Nights, I'm modifying an existing published campaign setting (Titan / Allansia) rather than making my own, so I wouldn't have the rights to make money off it even if I wanted to. If I ever sold anything commercially in future, it would have to be a campaign setting I came up with myself. Maybe at some point in the future, but for now anything I come up with for Blacksand Nights will be released free.
oh ok, fair enough- thanks :)
No worries, thanks for the interest + kind words!

What are the benefits of a mediated divorce in NJ?
When couples in New Jersey realize that they are headed towards divorce, there is a lot to consider. One such consideration is in regards to the way that the couple will get divorced. Divorcing couples have a few options as to how they may proceed so it is important to do some research beforehand or speak with an experienced attorney that can provide guidance in the best direction for their particular situation. One method of divorce that is quickly gaining a lot of popularity is mediation.
Mediated divorces allow the couple to take control over their divorce. The parties get to decide on matters instead of having a judge decide on their behalf.
Mediated divorces typically take place in a conference room setting as opposed to being in the courtroom.
Mediated divorces often take significantly less time than other methods of divorce and as a result, they are usually cheaper.
If you are considering divorce, contact our firm today to discuss your options.

Home » Musicians » Clare Teal
Clare Teal
"It's a small word, jazz," Clare Teal says in a Yorkshire accent that vividly brings to mind Victoria Wood (which is apt, for she shares a similar sense of humor),"a small word that covers a huge range of music."
She's right, and in mid-2007, jazz seems suddenly to be everywhere, enjoying a mainstream revival in all its many hues and variations. Norah Jones, of course, has taken at least the essence of jazz and spread it far and wide, likewise Jamie Cullum, Amy Winehouse and Corinne Bailey Rae. And then there is Clare herself, perhaps the most faithful exponent of them all.
"Me? Oh yes, I very much come from a jazz tradition," she agrees, "but my new album is actually a distinctive move away from it and into something much wider. This is my second major label album, and I wanted it to be clear that I had something distinctive to offer, perhaps even something new."
And, in Paradisi Carousel, Clare has done just that. A rich and often sublime album of succulent tunes and a voice lined with velvet, Paradisi Carousel sees Clare, for strictly soundbite purposes, elevated into a Karen Carpenter for the 21st century, a British Diana Krall. Her loyal army of fans always knew she had the best voice in the country; now everyone will.
"I spent an entire year working on this, which, for me, is very unusual," she says. "In the typical jazz tradition, I normally take no more than six weeks, so it would have been awful if I didn't have something to show for all those additional months, and all that extra effort, don't you think?" Rest assured, her efforts have paid off beautifully. This is a peach of a record.
Let us now, for the sake of biography, state some facts.
Clare Teal hails from a tiny village near Skipton in Yorkshire, and was born 34 years ago to a mother and father with a box full of 78s, and an attic in which to play them. She came to singing early, ridiculously so, and by three could hold a note and make it flutter, although she did so in the privacy of her bedroom. By her teens, she was proving curiously impervious to the many joys of 1980s pop music - unmoved by the pleadings of Nik Kershaw, resistant to the charms of Simon Le Bon - instead turning her attentions to musical styles long since consigned to history.
"I was obsessed with the singers of the 30s, the 40s and 50s," she says, eyes wide with enthusiasm, "and just fascinated by voices. I would often retreat upstairs into the attic with my parents' 78s, and lose myself in them. Really, I was like the girl from the film Little Voice, a geek - though obviously an entirely adorable one. But then there was nothing else to do with my days. See, my village was tiny, nothing ever happened there. I remember we had a party once, the day they built a bypass through it. It gave us something to look at..."
By 15, she was quite the singer, and a rather good mimic, "which was a fun thing to be able to do," she notes, "but on the downside, I wasn't able to find my own voice until I was 27 years old!"
A student of the organ, piano and clarinet, she went on to study music at the University of Wolverhampton, and upon graduation entered a national competition to find the country's best Billie Holiday soundalike: "Don't ask me why they wanted to find a soundalike when the original still sounded perfectly good to me," she says, "but I came second."
Her near victory didn't land her an automatic deal, however, and after a bout of unemployment, she landed a job writing jingles.
"I'd write these jingles, and then sing them in the manner of Julie Andrews, Madonna, my old favourite Billie Holiday and, well, anybody, really," she recalls. "They were singing telegrams, effectively, and it was actually a lot of fun. I could also do Tina Turner, you know, albeit rather terribly, but then times were hard. You did what you could."
There next followed a stint selling advertising space on the phone, a career path Clare found herself singularly unqualified for. Not the job itself, but rather its clock-in/clock-out restrictions. "I could never get my head around that whole 9-5 thing," she says. "It wasn't for me."
At 27, fate then stepped in. A pianist she'd met years earlier during her Billie Holiday episode called, requiring a singer to perform alongside him for one night only and wondering whether Clare would be interested. Yes, she said, she would, jumping in the car and heading straight for the venue, "shedding at least two stone in weight along the way with anxiety". It proved to be the night of her life, where everything suddenly felt natural and right and good.
"This was my toe in the door of the industry," she says, "and I was going to make the very best of it."
This entailed making a selection of demos, guesting with various jazz bands, playing locally and losing a lot of money. But she was nevertheless gradually making a name for herself, and people were beginning to take notice. In 2001, she inked a deal with independent label Candid, for whom she wrote and recorded three albums. By 2003, she had signed with the Sony Jazz label, which spawned what would become her breakthrough album, Don't Talk, an exquisite record of tender jazz that perfectly exemplified just what a talent she was. Critical acclaim poured in from the broadsheets and, if you will, jazz mags, and most persuasively from Michael Parkinson, who gave her heavy rotation on his Radio 2 programme, and invited  her to perform on his ITV chat show. Don't Talk topped the British jazz charts and cracked the UK Top 20, shipping 60,000 copies and winning several awards, among them British Jazz Vocalist of the year 2005 + BBC Jazz Vocalist of the year 2006 not to mention the Marlborough Jazz Festival's Best Live Performer which she won two years running. At last, she was on her way.
"I've been so happy with the way things have gone for me," she says. "It's been a very gradual rise, but an immensely satisfying one. I'm really looking forward to whatever comes next."
Which brings us up to today, and Paradisi Carousel, the album Clare was always destined to make.
Newly confident of her flourishing abilities, she wanted to shake away all constraints of her defining genre and reveal a wealth of hidden riches. "Where once I was influenced largely by jazz and classical, now I'm influenced by everything," she says. "Thanks to [the album's producer] Chris Hughes, this record has enabled me to fall in love with music all over again. Previously, it was beginning to feel a little bit like a job, a chore. It doesn't anymore."
Herein, Clare proves to be a diva of the most understated kind. Across songs like Coming Home, Light Flight and the title track, she sounds elegant, regal and full of warmth, with a vocal empathy that makes each arch of every last note an arch worth savouring. Her version of The Four Tops' Reach Out (I'll Be There), meanwhile, is divine, a slow motion re-reading of the Motown classic that she makes entirely her own. It is, surely, a smash hit waiting to happen.
"This album is my Baccarach period," she smiles, "all big chords, nice tunes and harmonies, a bit of Carpenters here, some Dusty Springfield there. I feel I've connected to the music on an emotional level I once thought I'd lost forever. It's like all the early excitement I used to have has come back."
And it's an excitement that she delivers with an uncommon lightness of touch, evidence of the woman's confidence and proof that what we have here, in every way, is the real deal. Or, if you'll forgive the creaking pun, the Real Teal. "Music is a melting pot," Clare says. "And that's what I'm all about, ultimately, a melting pot with 70 years of music at my fingertips."
And what of the album's title, Paradisi Carousel? Turns out that paradisi is Latin for grapefruit, and Clare has quite a thing for grapefruit.
"It's a much misunderstood fruit," she reasons, "and I thought it was high time somebody stuck up for it."
She does it proud. Show less

PAKISTAN: CHRISTIANS STRIVE FOR JUSTICE FOLLOWING ONSLAUGHT
Posted on August 11, 2009 by particularkev
Local security officials, Muslim clerics named in police complaint.
GOJRA, Pakistan, Aug. 5 (Compass Direct News) – A standoff here between Pakistani officials and Christians protesting the government's reluctance to prosecute a murderous Islamic assault ended with officials finally consenting to file a complaint against key Muslim clerics and security officers.
On Sunday (Aug. 2) hundreds of Christians demonstrated in Gojra, where the previous day rampaging Muslims – acting on an unsubstantiated rumor of "blasphemy" of the Quran and whipped into a frenzy by local imams and banned terrorist groups – killed at least seven Christians, looted more than 100 houses and set fire to 50 of them. At least 19 people were injured in the melee.
In protest of government reluctance to name two security officers for negligence in connection with Christians burned to death, demonstrators on Sunday refused to quickly bury the dead as officials requested. Believing the government was stalling in registering a complaint, demonstrators put the coffins with the charred remains on railroad tracks for three hours before officials agreed to include District Police Officer (DPO) Inkasar Khan and District Coordinating Officer (DCO) Sikandar Baloch in the complaint filed against more than 20 named and 800 unnamed people.
Among those arrested include members of the banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, a pro-Taliban, Sunni Muslim group, and its al Qaeda-linked offshoot, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi; officials said members of both groups were suspected of planning the attack in Gojra.
The Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS) reported that at least 14 Christians had been killed, and Christians in the affected areas told Compass the final death toll will likely be more than 20. The only deaths confirmed by hospital officials, however, are those of seven members of a family who died when their home was set on fire; names and ages in this report vary slightly from the hospital list as they are based on Compass contact with their survivors: Hameed Masih, 75; his son Akhlaq Hameed, 55; Asia Hameed, 22, wife of Mohsin Hameed; her mother Parveen, 50; Asifa Hameed, 30 (wife of survivor Almas Hameed), and her 8-year-old daughter Umia and 4-year-old son Musa.
With the caskets containing the remains of the dead Christians sitting in public for some time, the local administration tried to force survivors to conduct a hasty funeral, telling them to hold a service in Catholic parish hall and bury the dead as soon as possible.
Federal Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti and other prominent Christians met with the local administration, but negotiations failed as the two security officials were not named in the First Information report (FIR). A Catholic priest identified only as Father Mani then told protestors that an FIR had been registered and that he had seen it, and that therefore the demonstration should be called off.
But protestors did not believe him, insisting that they would not quit until they saw a copy of the FIR. Only after continued protests, with the dead bodies on the railway track for more than three hours, did officials register a case against key suspects in connection with murder, looting and violence: more than 20 identified people, including DPO Khan and DCO Baloch, who are accused of negligence in allowing the Islamic violence to erupt, and some 800 unidentified suspects.
Nevertheless, sources told Compass, the two officers have not been suspended, terminated or arrested. Rather, they have been made Special Duty Officers – an officer who is fully paid but has yet to be posted.
The FIR also names Muslim clerics of several Gojra mosques, including the imam of nearby Chamra Mandi Mosque, called Firdausia Mosque. Muslim groups held a press conference today in Gojra calling on the government to free clerics named in the FIR, according to CLAAS. They also threatened to hang Talib Masih, father of the boy who was falsely accused of tossing cut pages of the Quran into the air as part of a wedding ceremony in Korian.
The same rumor of desecration of the Quran that led to Saturday's massive protest and attack in Gojra, 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Faisalabad, also prompted the arson assault on Thursday (July 30) by Islamic extremists on the village of Korian, seven miles from Gojra.
In the Gojra violence, several people have also implicated Qadir Awan, president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in Gojra, who was also named in the FIR. Zahid Iqbal, administrative head of a section of Gojra called Union Council-21, said that Awan had no role in the rioting.
The bodies of the seven Christians had been kept in the mortuary of Civil Hospital in Gojra, where the Christian advocacy group called Community Development Initiative (CDI) helped wash the bodies and facilitated their transfer to the families.
Amid strict security, a funeral service for the victims of the Gojra riots' victims took place on Sunday (Aug. 2). Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah and Minorities Affairs Minister Bhatti participated in the funeral procession.
There Sanaullah announced that Punjab Chief Minister Sharif would visit the Christian community to express his condolences – "Beyond the FIR we are with you in punishing those who let this conspiracy succeed or participated in this conspiracy," Sanaullah said – but Christians were disappointed the next day when he didn't show.
Christians refused to speak with the representatives the chief minister had sent in his stead nor with other PML-N members. Provincial Minorities Minister Kamran Michael threatened to resign over the issue, and due to this pressure Chief Minister Sharif visited the area yesterday (Aug. 4), assuring the community that he would do his utmost to provide justice.
To assess the damage, the chief minister has constituted a 16-member group under the chairmanship of Michael.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has formed a committee to ascertain the amount of damage done during the rioting, and as soon as President Asif Ali Zardari learned of the incident he sent Minorities Minister Bhatti to Gojra.
President Zardari also announced that 500,000 rupees (US$6,040) will be made available for each person killed and 300,000 rupees (US$3,624) for those whose houses were burned. Prime Minister Gilani is also expected to announce a special package for the affected families.
A report submitted by Bhatti to the president states that the Punjab government and local administration failed to stem the violence. It adds that additional troops were not sent to help local authorities in Gojra, despite the advice of the minorities minister.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik has also sought a report from the interior secretary and the Punjab inspector general.
Farahnaz Ispahani, spokesperson for President Zardari, told Compass that after Muslims burned more than 50 homes in Korian village on July 30 and 31 – following the accusation of "blasphemy" of the Quran that proved to be false – the president asked the Punjabi government to report on it. After the subsequent Aug. 1 rioting in Gojra, she said, he immediately dispatched Bhatti to the site with orders to report back.
Ispahani said that after the president talked to Prime Minister Gilani, the prime minister called Chief Minister of the Punjab Sharif over the incident. When it became clear that police were unable to handle the matter, she said, the president ordered Rangers – paramilitary troops mainly deployed along the border for security – into Gojra to take charge and save Christians from further damage.
CDI Field Officer Napoleon Qayyum told Compass that CDI had strongly objected to the route of the Aug. 1 Islamic demonstration – which had been called to protest the release of the man whose son was falsely accused of desecrating pages of the Quran – saying he had told DPO Khan that it should not pass by any churches or Christian areas. As Islamic clerics made threatening announcements from mosques the day before the rampage, Qayyum said, DCO Baloch also had ample warning that violence was imminent.
"The way things were moving in Gojra, no rocket science was needed to predict this fallout," he said, adding that announcements from loudspeakers mounted on vehicles broadcast how Christians had supposedly desecrated the Quran.
Punjab Minister for Law Sanaullah said an initial investigation of allegations of the Quran being blasphemed indicated "there has not been any incident of desecration."
The CDI also objected to a two-member committee set up by provincial Chief Minister Sharif regarding violence in Korian village.
"Our objection was that no Christian was on the committee," Qayyum said, "because how could administration and police be thought to be unbiased? It was the first step where the provincial government showed partiality."
After Korian village Christians were attacked, the government showed no interest in arresting or reining in rampaging mobs, according to Qayyum, who said that the day after that assault he saw crowds there still armed with clubs wearing green, dark brown or black turbans, an indication that "religious fanatics were still roaming free."
Likewise, he added, the provincial government allowed the civil administration and police to use delaying tactics in June 30 violence in Bahmaniwala village, where 110 houses were plundered and ransacked in Kasur.
Christians make up less than 5 percent of Pakistan's 175 million population, which is mainly Muslim.

Before you move overseas, you'll need to know how you can get help as a foreign citizen in a new land.
Diplomatic services in your home and host countries are key resources for folks and their families on international assignments.
In most cases, your contact will be with a consulate rather than an embassy.
They are the official diplomatic representation, or mission, of one government to another. The person in charge, usually an ambassador, is the personal representative of the respective nation's head of state. Embassies are responsible for government-to-government relations.
A country has only one embassy in each of the other countries with which it has diplomatic relations. It's typically located in the nation's capital city. In some countries, renewing passports for citizens while they're abroad might occur only at an embassy, not a consulate.
Consulates do not provide travel, legal, employment, or interpreting services. They can't get a national who has violated host country laws out of jail, but they will press local authorities to ensure fair treatment and access to legal representation. International agreements usually require that foreigners who are arrested be allowed to contact their consular officer.
Consulates also provide some services (issuing visas, for example) to nationals of their host country.
USEmbassy.gov lists American offices abroad.
GoAbroad.com lets you search for a specific consulate or embassy by country.

Q: No Host in request URL for Grafana datasource plugin tutorial - Add authentication I'm trying to follow the example for developing a datasource plugin from Grafana.  Ultimately I want my plugin to use Oauth, but even with just the basic Grafana datasource proxy example I seem to be having issues.
I have updated my plugin.json, class and constructor.
I have setup this hard coded example.
in plugin.json
      {
        "path": "grafana",
        "url": "https://github.com"
      }
    ],

And a sample testDataSource()
  async testDatasource() {
    return getBackendSrv()
      .datasourceRequest({
        url: this.url + '/grafana/grafana',
        method: 'GET',
      })
      .then(response => {
        if (response.status === 200) {
          return { status: 'success', message: 'Data source is working', title: 'Success' };
        } else {
          return { status: 'failure', message: 'Data source is not working: ' + response.status, title: 'Failure' };
        }
      });
  }

When I try and save/test this datasource to call that method, I get in the frontend a
HTTP Error Bad Gateway
And in the logs

t=2021-09-17T14:31:22+0000 lvl=eror msg="Data proxy error" logger=data-proxy-log userId=1 orgId=1 uname=admin path=/api/datasources/proxy/9/grafana/grafana remote_addr=172.17.0.1 referer=http://localhost:3000/datasources/edit/9/ error="http: proxy error: http: no Host in request URL"

I would've expected the request to be routed to the datasource proxy and for that to make the request to github but it seems Grafana is making a request to /api/datasources/proxy/9/grafana/grafana and nothing is picking it up?

A: Looking up my datasource via API, there's nothing listed for URL.
You will need to render this in your ConfigEditor.tsx
<DataSourceHttpSettings
  defaultUrl="http://localhost:8080"
  dataSourceConfig={options}
  onChange={onOptionsChange}
/>

Which will give you the basic form with URL, whitelist, auth options that you see on most plugins.  The URL there I guess should match what you have in your routes.


Did you know that studies show that blue photos get more likes on Instagram, blue crayons are the most popular, and blue rooms foster creativity? As America's most popular color, blue's different hues evoke specific feelings when viewed. Nature's color for sky and sea, blue creates a sense of calmness and relaxation and is considered beneficial for the mind and body. Blue is a color that seeks peace and tranquility and promotes both physical and mental relaxation.
Think about it — we certainly feel a sense of calm if we lie on our backs and look into a bright blue cloudless sky or look out into the horizon beyond the blue sea. The paler the blue, the more freedom and calmness we feel. So it makes sense that each year blue emerges as the unofficial color of summer, a season when we (try to) slow down, rest and recharge, and often spend time outdoors near water.
Whether the fabric is cotton, denim, or linen that is marbled, striped, or faded, Kiskadee has a selection of clothing and accessories in different hues of blue to work into your weekend and workday style.
Camo and Curves: The layering on this muted BCBG blue stretch jersey dress is like camouflage, especially for a pear shape, and is extremely flattering. The fitted underlay skims your curves and provides a nice line while the outer layer moves with your body.
Print Perfect: Though I don't typically don't wear a lot of prints, I like the Southwestern feel that the print on the dress evokes. The significant stretch in the material and its A- line silhouette provide ultimate comfort. Easily accessorized, it also doesn't wrinkle! Perfect for throwing into an overnight bag for a weekend getaway.
Flattering Florals: The summer floral, done slightly differently with a flattering neckline and full skirt, is the perfect dress for spending an evening indoors given the full sleeve. It will also transition nicely into D.C.'s traditionally warm fall season. The block heel, ties, and studs on the sandal gives a slightly edgy look.
Summer Soirée: Made of a light, almost airy fabric, this dress is perfect when you're looking for something a little dressier but want to be comfortable and cool, too. Admittedly, this dress was out of my comfort zone, but once I tried it I could see how it's the perfect solution for a soirée on the hottest of summer days. Dressed up with a statement bracelet and ring you are party ready!

Чанда́о () — бывший уезд городского округа Яньтай провинции Шаньдун. Название происходит от названия архипелага Чаншаньдао.

География
Уезд административно объединяет острова Жёлтого моря, лежащие к северу от Шаньдунского полуострова. Всего в составе уезда — 32 острова (из них 10 обитаемых) и 66 скал. Общая площадь административно входящей в состав уезда земной и водной поверхности — 8700 км², при этом площадь островов — всего 56 км².

История
Изначально эти земли входили в состав уезда Пэнлай. В 1945 году был образован Особый район Чандао (长岛特别区). В 1956 году был создан уезд Чандао, вошедший в состав Специального района Лайян (莱阳专区). В 1958 году город Яньтай и Специальный район Лайян были слиты в Специальный район Яньтай (烟台专区), при этом уезды Хуансянь и Чандао были присоединены к уезду Пэнлай, но в 1962 году они были восстановлены в прежних границах. В 1967 году Специальный район Яньтай был переименован в Округ Яньтай (烟台地区).

В ноябре 1983 года округ Яньтай был преобразован в городской округ Яньтай.

Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 5 июня 2020 года городской уезд Пэнлай и уезд Чандао были объединены в район городского подчинения Пэнлай.

Административно-территориальное деление
Уезд делится на 1 уличный комитет, 1 посёлков и 6 волостей.

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Aminu Maigari said on Thursday that the Nigeria National Football Team, Super Eagles, is at the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa to fight for the trophy that the country last won in Tunisia 19 years ago.
NFF Media Officer, Ademola Olajire reported Maigari as saying while speaking in Johannesburg on Thursday morning that the Super Eagles will take no prisoners or hostages at the Cup finals.
"People have been talking about the chances of the different teams. It is nothing out of the ordinary. Some persons have gone ahead to name their favourite teams for the trophy. My own favourite team for the trophy will be the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
"We have come to the finals with a fine blend of experienced and ambitious competitors; only few of them have been at the Nations Cup before. But the bulk of them have been together over the past 15 months and blended very well," Maigari told the media in Johannesburg.


Wakame seaweed is a fantastic source of iron and vitamins A, C and D.
Known as 'the drink of the gods' throughout South America, mate is said to have the strength of coffee and the health benefits of tea, along with the euphoria of chocolate.
It has been consumed in South America since the 17th century and is actually made from the dried leaves of an evergreen holly.
Sencha green tea has all the nutritional benefits of other green teas. It's grown in full sunlight, and is the main beverage in Japan to this day.
Japanese sea farmers have grown wakame seaweed for hundreds of years, and its delicate green leaves are a popular ingredient throughout Japan.
We have blended beautiful top quality sencha green tea leaves with green mate tea, wakame seaweed and lemongrass to create a stimulating and energising blend that will revive and help to ease stress.
The different elements of this blend give it a fresh, floral, yet full-bodied taste. The lemongrass is clean and crisp on the palate while the wakame seaweed adds depth and an umami taste.
Heat 250mls of water to 80°C. Add 1 heaped teaspoon, allow to infuse for 2-3 minutes and enjoy.
Ingredients: Sencha green tea (78%), green mate tea, wakame seaweed pieces, lemongrass, natural lemon flavouring.

Liddle Spurred By Improvements
Defender Gary Liddle was encouraged by Notts County's much-improved performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.
Although defeated 1-0, the Meadow Lane audience applauded the Magpies players off the field after a passionate showing against the Sky Bet League 1 high-flyers.
The team had been disappointed with Tuesday night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy loss to Oldham Athletic but made amends with a display that showed what new boss Shaun Derry is demanding from his players.
Liddle said: "Tuesday was the lowest point of my Notts County career and the manager said he wanted a reaction and I think he got that.
"I'm gutted for the lads, the manager and the fans, because we didn't deserve that but we got undone by that sucker punch at the end.
"We played well and we don't want happened on Tuesday night to happen again.
"We made a point and worked hard in training all week to put pressure on how Wolves would play.
"They played exactly how we knew they would, which is why we were able to implement our game as much as we did.
"We created a lot of chances in the first half and it was just unfortunate that we weren't able to put one of those away.
"I know Manny Smith had a great chance but for an unbelievable block from their lad [Richard] Stearman, and if that had gone in it could have been a totally different game.
"It's ifs and buts and unfortunately we're on the end of another disappointing result."

The classifications are intended to describe the level of reading comprehension needed to understand the content on the page. For example, scientific research papers would be more likely to end up classified as Advanced, while you would expect a website targeted at kids to be classified as Basic.
Google does this for many reasons, but the main purpose, like most of the things Google does, is to better serve its users. By being able to evaluate reading level, Google can better identify poor quality content and filter out spammy low-quality content from their search results.
In addition, they can allow users to search for things based on reading level. For example, let's say you just bought a new iPad and you were looking for a tutorial. You could search for "iPad tutorial" and filter sites that contain basic reading levels to ensure that the tutorials you review are easy to read and understand. Not sure how to do this? Don't worry, just keep reading.
Here is a step-by-step guide to filtering your search results by reading level – it is actually quite easy!
Enter your search query in the Google search box as usual. Then click the "Show search tools" link in the bottom of the lefthand sidebar. In this example, we will search for iPad tutorials.
After clicking the "reading level" the search results should refresh and you see a chart that lists the percentage of sites that fall into each reading level. In addition, the reading level is displayed for each individual search result.
The last and final step is to click the reading level that you want to filter the results so that only sites that match that reading level are shown. That's it, you did it!
In the example below I clicked on the Basic reading level. To revert back to normal search settings simply click on the "x" in the upper right-hand corner of the reading level box.
Although the reading level can be very helpful for users, it can also be a valuable resource for optimizing content and improving your SEO. Generally speaking, you want to write content that is consistent with the reading level used on the majority of sites that discuss the particular subject matter in question.
For example, 71% of the sites that write about iPad tutorials have content that is at the Intermediate reading level, while only 8% have content that is at an Advanced reading level. This means that in the eyes of Google, an Intermediate reading level is more "normal" and appropriate for this subject matter.
And as a result, Google may favor this type of content in the results because it believes that it better suits the audience and provides a better user experience for the user – or so the theory goes?
If you think about this logically, it actually makes sense. iPad tutorials shouldn't be at an advanced reading level. You don't want tutorials to be like research papers; using long sentence structures, a large vocabulary, and requiring advanced reading levels to comprehend the subject matter.
You want tutorials to be written so that your readers can easily understand the material; short sentence structures and simple vocabulary (basic reading level). However, the iPad itself is a technical device and by nature, some of the jargon and vocabulary used to understand it is probably above the basic reading level, which is why the majority of sites are classified as Intermediate.
By doing this research ahead of time you'd know the reading level you want to achieve (Intermediate in this case) and the reading level you most likely want to avoid (Advanced in this example). In addition, after you've written and published the article you can see how Google classifies it and then make the necessary modifications to get the desired result.
Reviewing reading level for keyword targets is not a game changer, but it can help you write better content and it can be an effective and useful tool in an SEO analyst's bag of tricks.

Every year we hear news about another mobile phone coming out that is expected to defeat the latest iPhone model, but those new phones don't always live up to the expectations.
However, this week everyone's attention is drawn to the Huawei Mate 10, a phone that can rival this year's most anticipated models. Find out everything you need to know about the Huawei Mate 10 specifications right now!
Knowing every Huawei P10 specification is very important for making a smart decision when choosing a new device among the best Huawei phones 2017, but learning about the experiences of people who already own the phone is even more crucial.
Let's start by stating the obvious: the Huawei Mate 10 is a beautifully designed phone. It has a glass back panel, a curved design for extra comfortable holding, and a choice of four colors, including Black, Mocha Brown, Champagne Gold, and Pink Gold.
The 5.9-inch screen may take some time getting used to if you've never worked with large-screened phones before, but the curved display and nearly bezel-less screen will make using the device a pure joy.
In terms of Huawei P10 specs, this phone has everything you expect to see in a high-end device of 2017. This Huawei model was designed with heavy AI use in mind, which is why the specs are more advanced even by flagship phone parameters.
The device comes with the latest Android 8.0 Oreo on board and is dressed in the updated Huawei Emotion UI 8.0. That way you'll be able to use the familiar Android interface while also taking advantage of the newest features like Split Screen functionality.
The camera specs of the new Huawei won't disappoint even the most seasoned smartphone photographers. There is a dual primary camera for sharper and more vibrant images in any lighting and weather conditions, as well as a very competitive front camera for impeccable selfies.
The 4,000mAh battery is larger than what most flagship mobile phones released this year, and, with the SuperCharge functionality, which allows you to get a full day of battery life from a 20-minute charge, it will eliminate the problem of a regularly dying phone battery.
The Huawei Mate 10 was announced earlier this year, unveiled two days ago, and is expected to hit the stores in November 2017. While there is no official release date for Nigeria yet, we imagine the most eager buyers will be able to get their hands on the new device in a couple of weeks from the official release.
The Huawei Mate 10 price in Nigeria is a deal-breaker for most buyers. The Huawei P10 price is yet to be officially revealed, but you can expect it to be around ₦300,000 or $800 for a brand new phone.

Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard got into a Twitter back and forth with a fan who was encouraging him to jump ship from Portland so he can win a title. Lillard fired back that he would prefer to try to win a title and Portland, or not win one at all.
It's a contrarian position in the modern of NBA superteams and player movement, but realistically, how many teams are going to have a legitimate shot to win a title? Two, maybe three, for the foreseeable future. For a player like Lillard, it makes more sense to live a great quality of lif in a city like Portland, rather than chase titles for a career.
Yesterday, Big Baller Brand released the Lonzo Ball signature Zo2 shoe and was collectively laughed at on Twitter for its $500 price tag. A million Twitter jokes, and countless blog articles later, LaVar Ball's absurd idea received tens of millions of dollars in free advertising, and dominated a portion of the sports media news cycle.
Even though LaVar Ball gives you a hundred reasons not to like him, don't hate on the man for having a dream. He's the mom and pop store trying to fight Walmart.
Jason Terry – Milwaukee Bucks guard NBA Champion joins the show to discuss the NBA Playoffs; NBA longevity; why he thinks the $500 Ball's are ridiculous; what it's like watching the Greek Freak up close; and why playoff LeBron is still on another level than anyone else.
Adrian Wojnarowski – Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Vertical joins the show to discuss Steve Kerr's health; if the Warriors can win the title without Steve Kerr; if the Spurs and Clippers are in for significant offseason overhauls; and if LaVar Ball will be a problem for Lonzo Ball in the NBA.
