News of an upcoming Mutemath album has me on pins and needles, in a good way. This band is such a force to be reckoned with, bringing a bold, brassy and proggy sound to alt-rock. Lately they've gone into this really electronic/sample-sounding space and while at first I was hesitant, I've come to embrace the atmosphere. Overall, it's still an ensemble effort with every player giving their all and playing their strengths — Darren King continues to hold down intricate grooves and Paul Meany's introspection is at a peak. Mute Math songs have always had a self-empowerment, self-reflective bent to them; often they wonder about ways to get by, or how to transform an ordinary life into one that's extraordinary. It's why they're one of my go-to bands when I need a little motivation.
Last year's teaser of a single, "Changes," wound up leading off a bunch of remixes and reinventions to songs from 2015's Vitals, an album I've really come to love for its smooth confidence and sophisticated parts. But the remixes were good, too, and "Changes" is novel and noteworthy in its own right. Is there any rock band who is as good as playing around with delay, echoing effects, back-up snaps and ringing, resonant bell tones? The latest batch of Mutemath songs are a little bit 70s, a little bit 80s, and a little bit now, always wrapped up with a hook or two. The prominent piano line harkens back to their earlier work — and so does the overall theme and message, about being stuck in a place while seeking more on the other side. Their latest press release pledges yet another evolution in their sound on their fifth studio LP, and I'm really looking forward to it, and in the nearer term, pouring over their catalog all day and letting their bright, bold sounds add some color to a grey day.
"I can hear pallid choirs sing
From their headstone hymnals now
I'm just suffering from changes
Locked outside for good
Paper cut by turning pages
Sitting under dust cause
I'm not understood…"

On this feast day, St. Luke can guide us through a history tinged with disaster.
What is it that Peter, John, and James perceive when they follow Jesus up the mountain and enter into the silence of Tabor? Not "words" as they are wont to hear them, but speech, singular and purified.
Jesus speaks and acts with authority because his words and actions are those of God, because he is God.


Shannon Okinaka, CFO, Hawaiian Airlines, talks about how TCS leveraged automation to transform the airline's revenue and financial accounting processes. Automation enabled the airline to reduce invoice backlog and improve invoice processing accuracy.
Leveraging its 5D methodology, TCS was able to transition the Hawaiian Airlines' revenue and financial accounting services within a short span of 18 weeks. Additionally, Shannon adds, TCS' transformation expertise helped the airline improve invoice processing accuracy by over 30%, manage volume volatility, and optimize operating costs.
TCS proactively aligned its strategy in line with Hawaiian Airlines' business needs. By deploying innovative solutions such as automation, TCS helped Hawaiian Airlines clear a significant part of their invoice backlog, and realize over USD 5 million per month.
Shannon appreciates how TCS leveraged its vast experience in the airlines industry, bringing in their large pool of industry experts to this engagement. TCS' experts have continually helped Hawaiian Airlines build strategies to address key industry trends and stay ahead of the competition.

Parliament is set to pass the Right to Information Bill (RTI) into law next Tuesday, March 26, 2019, after about two decades of waiting.
The last amendment to the RTI Bill, which was proposed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Okaikoi Central, Mr Patrick Yaw Boamah, changed the implementation ministry of the bill from the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Information.
After the adoption of the amendment, the Majority Leader, Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu indicated that the RTI Bill would be read the third time and passed next Tuesday.
It is recalled that Parliament had earlier approved a motion to delay the implementation of the RTI Bill till January 2020 after it is passed.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for Suhum, Mr Frederick Opare-Ansah, had earlier proposed the amendment that the RTI Bill should come into force 12 months from the date on which the Act is assented to by the President.
The Minority in Parliament kicked against the proposed transitional provision to delay the implementation of the Right to Information Bill (RTI) for a year.
The Minority MPs said the media, civil society organizations and many Ghanaians have waited for the passage and implementation of the RTI for years, and so it would be wrong to delay its implementation when it is passed.
They said government institutions already have information officers and information systems to release information to the public.
The object of the RTI Bill is to provide for the operationalization of the constitutional right to information held by public and some private institutions, subject to exemptions that are necessary and consistent with the protection of public interest in a democratic society.
After months of waiting, the Bill was laid in Parliament early in 2018 by the Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr Joseph Dindiok.

Women cricketers deserve your cheers, India. Not Dhoni, Kohli alone
Debdutta BhattacharjeeMar 15, 2016 | 16:46
The moment that Indian cricket fans were waiting for is finally here. India starts its World T20 campaign against New Zealand in Nagpur on March 15, and the enthusiasm is palpable, because India has a distinct chance to win the coveted crown for the second time after 2007. Can the flair of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the power of captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, or the guile of Ravichandran Ashwin carry the day for Team India? The nation believes they can.
But wait. Wasn't this supposed to be an article on the Indian women's cricket team and its prospects in the World T20? Before concluding that this writer has lost the plot, consider this: We all know Dhoni and company will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the tournament on March 19. We all are aware of the controversy surrounding Pakistan's participation in the event, and the shifting of the match venue from Dharamsala to the haloed Eden Gardens. For some time it consumed the attention of the public and the media on both sides of the border.
Also read: Shame on us for not making Indian women's cricket win a big deal
But how many of you are aware that there is another India-Pakistan contest that is to happen on the same day. Yes March 19. In the capital of India, no less. There has hardly been any talk on this, suddenly no opposition to the match at the Kotla had cropped up, and yards of newsprint had not been spent on it.
Why? Because the authorities may have thought, in any case, the women's game wouldn't have mattered much for them to "waste" their time and energies on. Unfortunate.
How long will we be this cold towards women's cricket? How long will we push the achievements of our women's team to inside pages of newspapers? How long will we treat them as mere adjuncts to the men?
Particularly when the Indian women's team has had achievements for us to be proud of. It made history by winning its maiden T20 series against three-time world champions Australia in its own backyard. After the famous win Down Under, the Indian women also beat Sri Lanka in ODI and T20 series. One may not readily recall, but Mithali Raj's team had also beaten former world champions New Zealand in a keenly contested ODI series last year.
When Team India's new jerseys for the World T20 was launched, a photo on Twitter showed some Indian cricketers - men and women - posing in the new kit. What comes right across is the prominence that Dhoni, Kohli and the two other male players (Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane) have in the photo, with Mithali Raj, perhaps unwillingly thrown in their midst, being the captain of the women's team. The other two women players are pushed to the margin.
When the India eves took the field for their first match against Bangladesh in the World T20, they were greeted by largely empty stands. This is particularly shocking considering that only in a few hours' time we will all be going crazy when Dhoni's team opens its campaign against the Kiwis.
Women cricketers in India has had to battle incredible odds, social stigma and lack of encouragement being the chief among them. Things have improved, without a doubt, and India's women cricketers do have a semblace of financial security, and access to modern training facilities. It is far better than when the women were asked to pay Rs 10,000 from their own pockets for going to Australia for the World Cup, according to an Indian Express report.
"If you compare the benefits and the facilities now to the era when Diana Edulji and Shanta Rangaswamy played, there is a world of a difference," the same report quotes India coach Purnima Rau as saying.
But still, there is a lot that needs to be done to raise awareness about women's cricket India. But we are up against heavy odds. Think about it. Can we perhaps imagine an IPL for the women, and the unbelievable amounts of money involved? A long way has to be traversed to make that a reality.
We recently celebrated Women's Day, and reaffirmed (an eyewash?) our commitment to make the world a happier place for the fairer sex. We can start by supporting our women's cricketers more.
Perhaps what the women's team needs is a big title win, which would drive the public towards it. In fact, the popularity of even the men's team was never what it is now, before the World Cup triumph as rank outsiders in 1983. The World T20 can give that opportunity to the eves, who have home advantage on their side.
It is your stage girls. Go get it.

Our experts have compiled effective garage door repair and maintenance tips you could use.
Garage door adjustment is very significant because if the door is not in place, it won't work or would not open evenly. That can happen due to damaged garage door tracks, which would prevent the proper movement of the rollers, loose cables and damaged extension springs. In any case, you could find the garage door off track and this is a very serious problem.
Obviously, garage door panel replacement would make a great difference but when it comes to the existing door, you should clean it well regularly. If you find rust, scrub it off to avoid problems. Older garage doors would look better with painting and there are also solutions with special posters made for the exact purpose of improving the appeal of garage doors.
Our Westwind Houston team of garage door experts suggests testing the balance of your garage door to make sure it operates properly. To do this, close the door and then pull the emergency release cord. Then lift the door halfway up, then let go. If the door doesn't move, it is properly balanced. If it does slide up and down, then adjust or replace the torsion spring before trying it again.
Hurricane prone regions need strong, thick garage doors and the experts of our garage door company in Westwind Houston usually recommend steel doors (preferably stainless steel). Make sure to get garage doors, which can be secured with vertical and horizontal braces for the times the storm is coming. They will keep the door and house more secure.
Losing your garage door remote can be a security threat, especially if someone else gets a hold of it. Our experts recommend keeping your remote in a secure place inside your car or your house. Designate a specific spot where the remote should always be so you could always check if it is there or not.
Even if you are able to purchase a top notch garage door brand, if it is not installed properly, you will not be able to maximize its value. Make sure that your door, including its components, is installed professionally by a qualified door system technician.
When testing the balance, you must first make sure the door is closed. Afterwards, temporarily remove its opener. Once that is done, try closing and opening the door manually. If it gets stuck halfway, simply lubricate the hinges, rollers, and tracks. Lastly, open the door halfway and let it go. You can tell if it is balanced if it manages to remain in place with only the springs supporting its weight.


Our buckles are crafted from 1018 steel or 304 stainless steel. The silver is hand engraved nickel silver. You will also find stainless buckles and unmounted buckles in the Hardware section. Check our Specials section for closeouts and limited edition pieces!

Liberty and justice for all
By Mary Stuart | Mercury
Dawn Euer, 34 | Social activist
Maybe it�s because she was a Girl Scout when she was growing up in Wisconsin, but community service just comes naturally to Dawn Euer. The Newport resident who firmly believes in equality for all people took a two-year position as deputy campaign director with Marriage Equality Rhode Island working behind the scenes to get the state to legalize same-sex marriage. That mission had a happy ending in August, when same-sex marriage was signed into law in the Ocean State. Euer has a law degree and was a founding board member of the Environmental Justice League of Rhode Island.
Thank you for your work on marriage equality in Rhode Island. How did it feel when the legislation passed?
It was the most satisfying experience I�ve ever had. I started with Marriage Equality Rhode Island at the end of 2010, and in 2011 we had a bit of disappointment with the civil union legislation (a compromise measure that expanded the rights and benefits of same-sex couples without expanding the legal definition of marriage). The disappointment was so great a lot of people who had been working on it longer than I had wanted to step away. But I came on with Marriage Equality Rhode Island with a two-year plan that came to fruition. It was surreal but exciting.
What have you learned from this experience about what it takes to change entrenched beliefs?
On this issue in particular, it really is about changing hearts and minds. In the two years after the civil unions bill passed, senators who were undecided or were afraid of the issue took meetings with constituents and they started understanding them. Parents would go in and talk about their children, or couples would talk about the 30th and 40th anniversaries of their meeting. There is a very human side to marriage equality, and I think people tend to think of legal rights and benefits when they hear that phrase. All of those senators and representatives who had an open mind and sat down with people to have those conversations were very brave.
How far does the marriage equality bill take us toward equal rights for the LGBT community?
Passing that piece of legislation was really important, but we need to maintain that law and make sure that people don�t chip away at it. In other states, people have introduced repeals or introduced exemption language to say that businesses don�t have to provide services for weddings, and that undermines our anti-discrimination protection. We need to make sure the law is maintained as it is. There are other issues in the community we need to continue to work on: transgender issues, making sure our children are safe and accepted in our schools and that our elderly don�t feel the need to go back into the closet when they need nursing care.
Why is marriage equality the right cause for you? Are you gay?
People ask me that all the time. No, I�m not. I had an opportunity to make a difference, and for me it was a no-brainer. But as a woman and a feminist, marriage is an issue that makes sense. It�s an institution that has evolved over the centuries. Hundreds of years ago, I would have been treated like a sheep, like a piece of property. We just celebrated the anniversary of women�s suffrage. People fought for the right to vote. Someone fought for my equality. None of us can do it alone. There is a lot of power oppressed groups can gain from having allies. As an ally, I consider myself a member of the LGBT community.
Newport is already a wedding destination, but what needs to happen for it to draw more same-sex couples who want to get married here?
The most important thing is that it is an accepting community. There is social support, groups like Interweave at Channing Memorial Church, and the Newport Out website. The mayor and the majority of the City Council have gone on record as being for marriage equality. We are a very accepting city.
How do you think your childhood shaped you to become a social activist?
I was fortunate enough to have a stay-at-home mom. She was my Girl Scout troop leader and the whole Girl Scout mentality was to do community service projects. I was raised and taught to treat everyone the same, and I believe it is our responsibility to make the world a better place for everyone, and that includes taking care of the planet. I am a big environmentalist, too.
Was it the goal of advocating for others that led you to law school in Rhode Island?
Yes, absolutely. In Minneapolis, I had been doing a number of community theater jobs. I had gotten a theater degree in order to make social change through the arts. I do believe that the arts have a role to play in social movements.
Were you an actress?
No, I have always been a behind-the-scenes person. Stage management was a big piece of what I did. Trying to herd all the cats in the show to the right place at the right time turns out to be a good primer for politics!
Can you give us an example of a play that you worked on that promotes social justice?
I was stage manager for �The Laramie Project,� which was about the murder of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming. That show was sold out every night, and we had people crying at intermissions and after the show. It was done really well and was really well attended, but it left me with the feeling that people aren�t safe, people are being discriminated against. I felt like I wasn�t doing enough. I decided to go to law school, because if I was going to change things, I would need to understand the rules under which we operate now.
What have you been doing with the Environmental Justice League of Rhode Island?
I had to step down as a board member because of the demands of the marriage equality campaign, but we are all so positive about the potential. In Providence, there are families that don�t have access to grocery stores with healthy options, so they tend to do a lot of their grocery shopping at corner convenience stores. Parents working two jobs can�t take the time to take two buses to get to a grocery store. The Environmental Justice League is undertaking an effort to make sure that those corner convenience stores have some healthy options.
You are now serving on the city�s Energy and Environment Commission.
Yes, it is a volunteer position appointed by the City Council. We are about making Newport more green and sustainable, anything from energy efficiency and waste reduction in our schools, to developing guidance for the tree and open space commission around parking lot ordinances, to make sure that development takes things like water runoff into consideration.
What do you personally bring to these types of endeavors for the greater social good?
I have relationships with many different kinds of people across the state. I can contribute by knowing the right person to ask a question, or by knowing a decision maker. I am definitely an organizer. As a lobbyist, I also learned about knowing the time and place and way to talk to folks. It is about having an open mind and having a real dialogue with people.
What�s next for you?
I am trying to figure out what my next opportunity will be. I finished with Marriage Equality Rhode Island on Aug. 2. I�d like to stay in Newport, and I�d like to stick with policy, law, and activism work.
I have this book called �Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow.� Do you think that�s true of social activism?
I hope so! Like a lot of law students, I have an enormous amount of law school debt. I don�t eat out that much, and I get great enjoyment out of taking my dog to the park. I have a kayak and there are many low-cost things to enjoy in Rhode Island. I was very fortunate to do what I love for a couple of years and have it be my job, and I am trying to stay positive about finding that kind of opportunity again.

Q: Polymorphism in TypeScript Trying out polymorphism in TypeScript I found out about kind of a weird behaviour. At least I consider this a weird behaviour with myself coming from Java, where rules tend to have a much stricter tendency than in TypeScript.
So, I created a little example that showcases TypeScript only respecting the structure, but not the logical thought behind implementing and using interfaces in classes.
interface Bird {
    tweet(): string;
}

class Crow implements Bird {
    constructor(private message: string) { }

    tweet(): string {
        return this.message + "
";
    }
}

class Sparrow implements Bird {
    constructor(private message: string) { }

    tweet(): string {
        return this.message + "
";
    }
}

class ManWithAHat {
    constructor(private message: string) { }

    tweet(): string {
        return this.message + "
";
    }
}

class Chitter {
    static do(bird: Bird): string {
        return bird.tweet();
    }
}

// Getter for num returned 4
let element = document.getElementById('content');
let output: string = "";

const crow = new Crow("Crow says something!");
output += Chitter.do(crow);

const sparrow = new Sparrow("Sparrow says something!");
output += Chitter.do(sparrow);

const manWithAHat = new ManWithAHat("A man with a hat shouldn't be able to talk!");
output += Chitter.do(manWithAHat);

element.innerHTML = output;

The classes Crow and Sparrow both implement the interface Bird, forcing them to implement the tweet(): string method. The class ManWithAHad does not implement the Bird interface, but by coincidence has the same method tweet(): string. The static method do(bird: Bird): string in the class Chitter only accepts Bird as value. Then all three classes are instantiated and passed over to Chitter.do(bird: Bird): string.
Now, there is no error. All three classes are accepted by Chitter.do(bird: Bird): string, even the ManWithAHat class.
My question is, whether there is any case, where it acutally makes sense for Chitter.do(bird: Bird): string to also accept ManWithAHat as parameter? My second question, based on this, is whether there is a way in TypeScript to force Chitter.do(bird: Bird): string to decline any parameter not implementing the Bird interface, regardless whether the structure is the same or not.

Long ago the sky was close to the earth. Men and women did not have to plant their own food or go fishing. Instead, when they were hungry, they just reached up and broke off a piece of the sky and eat. Sometimes the sky tasted like ripe pandanus. Other times it tasted like fried fish. The sky was always delicious.
People in the village spent their time playing sports and dancing. At night they sang songs and told stories. The island king, Ueantabo, had a wonderful island. His people made beautiful necklaces out of pieces of sky.
Many people on the king's island did not use the gift of the sky wisely. When they took more than they could eat, the sky became angry because some people threw the extra pieces onto the ground.
The king and his people trembled with fear. King Ueantabo warned, "Let's be careful about how much food we take." For a long time, all the villagers were careful.
But one man named Nabuabeka wasn't careful. At the feast, he took so many delicious pieces of sky that he couldn't eat them. He knew he must not throw them away so he hid the extra pieces at the bottom of the coconut basket.
Everyone watched as the sky went up and away from the earth. It stayed far away from them. People began to work hard growing plants and going out fishing for their food.

Bunch of herbs, feverfew variety, Middle East (?), 1871-1920
The feverfew plant (Tanacetum parthenium) belongs to the sunflower family and originates from Southeast Europe. It grows wild in many places across the world, including Britain. Feverfew has been a traditional remedy to assist menstruation. It was also thought to help with fevers, migraines and 'hysteria'. However, it could also induce an abortion when mixed with herbs such as pennyroyal and mugwort. It often formed the basis of many abortion-inducing pills and potions available to women over the centuries. These usually had to be obtained in indirect ways such as word of mouth or via discreet advertisements.

"Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will."
The Nativity - birth of Jesus, is the joy of the first Christmas and is the focus of the third Joyful mystery of the rosary.
The word Nativity brings to mind a Virgin wrapping her Child in swaddling clothes and laying Him in a manger, shepherds and angels, three kings coming from the east and the words "no room in the inn."
"And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled. This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David, To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people: For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.
And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to us.
And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child. And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him.
Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them; And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come to adore him. Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was. And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.
Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod: That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.
The Nativity brings to mind the most humble place that Jesus birth took place...among the animals, to show that poverty and humility should be aspired.
To find peace and contentment in your life, detach yourself from material things and especially an unhealthy lust for money.
These Bible passages of The Nativity - Jesus birth were taken from the timeless Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible.
If you are looking for a more modern language version of The Nativity - Jesus birth, our recommendation would be the St. Ignatius Press Bible.

Ricky Martin: I've Slept with Women
Singer Ricky Martin, who revealed he was a "fortunate homosexual man" in 2010, told the Spanish edition of Vanity Fair that he has also had sexual relationships with women.
"I've slept with women and I've fallen in love with them and felt wonderful things. I don't regret my relationships. They taught me a lot, both men and women."
The comments come as he prepares to return to Broadway where he is acting in the musical Evita.
In the interview, Martin poses for the first time with his twin boys Matteo and Valentino, along with his partner Carlos.
The singer, who recently became a citizen of Spain, also explains how he chose the woman who donated the eggs for his children.
"I saw the photo and told myself: Who is this woman who is so angelic, so transparent? I didn't rent a womb. That's the expression used by conservative fundamentalists. I was loaned a womb. I didn't pay for it," he said.
"I'd give my life to the woman who helped me bring my children into the world," he said.

(Bloomberg) -- Kazakhstan's new president called snap presidential elections less than a month after he replaced leader-for-life Nursultan Nazarbayev in a carefully-choreographed transfer of power.
"I've taken the decision to call early presidential elections" on June 9 after consultations with Nazarbayev, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said in a televised address to the nation on Tuesday. While the handover of power took place in a calm atmosphere, "it's necessary to remove any uncertainty" by holding elections, he said.
Tokayev, 65, didn't say in his speech whether he will run in the elections. He was sworn in as president on March 20, a day after Nazarbayev announced he was standing down as leader of central Asia's largest energy producer. Nazarbayev, 78, had ruled Kazakhstan since 1989 and lawmakers declared him leader for life in 2010. He remains head of the country's security council with powers to issue executive orders to state bodies, and leads the Nur Otan party that holds more than 80 percent of seats in parliament.
Kazakh sovereign bonds due in July 2025 climbed for a second day, reducing the yield two basis points to 3.49 percent, the lowest since February last year. The tenge was little changed at 379.81 against the dollar at 3:12 p.m. in Astana.
One of Tokayev's first acts as president was to nominate Dariga Nazarbayeva, the former president's eldest daughter, to replace him as head of the Kazakh Senate. Her unanimous election put her in line formally to succeed Tokayev under the constitution, fueling speculation that he would be only an interim president before making way for her. Nazarbayev had previously ruled out handing power to family members.
Nazarbayeva won't run in June's elections, the Tengrinews service reported, citing the head of her secretariat, Saule Mustafayeva.
Kazakhstan was due to hold presidential elections in 2020. Tokayev announced the early vote after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow last week, his first foreign visit as Kazakh leader. With Russia and China watching the succession closely, Tokayev faces a delicate task in balancing relations with Kazakhstan's neighbors as they jostle for dominance in the energy- and mineral-rich region.

Prof. TJ Joseph- victim without a voice
Posted inIndia Latest News
• On 4 July 2010 at Muvattupuzha in the Kottayam district of Kerala, India, college professor, TJ Joseph, who was on his way home after Sunday Mass with his 85 year old mother and his sister Stella (a nun associated with Catholic Church) , was pulled out of his car. They were attacked with knives, swords, axe and home made bombs. Prof. Joseph's right hand at the wrist was chopped off and thrown a few meters away in to a neighbour's compound. He has also suffered cuts and wounds in other parts of his body. His left hand from the wrist also has been severely damaged. His sister and aged mother also suffered injuries.
• It is the first brutal Taliban style attack executed by the radicals at the instance of 'Dar-ul Khada' , Sharia court of Popular Front of India.
• TJ. Joseph, a professor of Malayalam language at Newman College, Thodupuzha, set a question in the Malayalam semester examination paper for B.Com students in March 2010.Question 11 asked students to punctuate a dialogue between a character and God. The passage was based on a lecture by CPI(M) leader P. T. Kunju Muhammed and included in a book – Thirakathayude Reethisasthram (Methodology of Screenplay), published by Kerala State Institute of Languages. In the original text, the character talking to God was unnamed, in the examination; Joseph gave the character the name "Muhammed"
• The local edition of the Jamaat e Islami Hind newspaper, Madhyamam Daily carried a prominent report, sparking off the controversy alleging blasphemy. Several Muslim organisations protested against the question paper that allegedly defamed the Prophet Mohammed. The Campus Front, the Popular Front of India's student wing, launched an agitation against the professor which concluded with this unfortunate incident.
• Joseph gave a media interview from his hospital bed, where he stated that he had used an extract from a university-approved book on the Malayalam language, and that his opponents did not give him an opportunity to explain the situation. He said that the naming of the village madcap as Muhammad had been done to represent the original author, P. T. Kunju Muhammed. Joseph's family made a statement that they forgive the attackers.
• Prof. Joseph was initially suspended by the collage authorities but on 24 July 2010, his suspension from the college was revoked by the Mahatma Gandhi University which described the issue as an "unintentional error". The attack on the teacher and his financial conditions were also considered. On 04 Sept 2010, the management of college terminated Prof TJ Joseph from service with effect from September under the pressure from fanatics.
• This act of barbarism points to the rise of blood-thirst driven by religious fundamentalist. That it was a planned operation carried out with brutal intent adds to the shock. The parallel system of criminal justice, being run by religious fanatics is also a matter of serious concern. Without reference to the nature of the alleged provocation behind the act, what has happened is a challenge to civilised society and the rule of law. After all, the management of the college concerned had suspended and subsequently terminated Joseph and a criminal case against Joseph was being pursued.
• With this act, what the fanatics have managed to do is to challenge the system of justice of this country and to put on the defensive all those who support the secular-democratic cause. Freedom of expression has come under attack from religious fanatics and it is the duty of society, judicial and political system to intervene more effectively to defend those who are targeted even if they express unpopular views.
• At the same time, those who work in academia and those who value intellectual freedom and creativity must respond to this challenge. All sections of society must unite to ensure that the heart-rending tragedy of a teacher making a misjudgement and ending up losing his hand to an act of Talibanesque savagery is never repeated.
• Human Rights Defense (India) (HRDI), responding to this challenge, is organising the symposium " Prof. TJ Joseph- victim without a voice on 24th September, 2010 (friday) at 4.30 P.M. at Plenary Hall of Indian Law Institute, Opp. Supreme Court of India to discuss and understand various ramifications of this dangerous development. In the symposium, the participants shall try to fashion new tools, forge new methods , innovate new strategies and to evolve new social order to handle this extremely disturbing situation as we can not allow the "law of terror" to design our way of life.
• All concerned are requested to participate in the symposium to save and defend the secular and democratic character of our county and to extend support to us to face this challenge more effectively.
• You are further request to convey your view on the subject to HRDI at email ID rememberingjoseph@hrdi.in . We would document them and send them to Prof. Joseph and concerned authorities.

Forced conversions of Hindu girls to Islam "extremely common"


Understandably, from time to time we all get seduced with the idea of tying exact, fanciful imitations. Some do this as a measure of their ability and others for the sheer enjoyment of mimicking nature to the enth degree. Personally, I'm not a great fan of the close copy school, as often the finished article lacks movement and appears "hard"(if that makes sense!).
For me, flies fashioned from soft, mobile materials win hands down every time. Granted they often appear a bit more scruffy and unkempt, but that's part of their appeal, as far as trout are concerned anyway! Possessing bags of movement his mobile pupa of sorts is a prime example. I say "pupa" in the loosest sense, as not only does it pass for ascending sedge pupae, but a liberal dousing of floatant sits this pattern in the surface film, just like a caddis struggling to depart its shuck.
Obviously the whole illusion hinges on wispy pine squirrel fur arranged in a dubbing loop that's spun tight to create a durable, yet extremely attractive collar on the finished article. However, if you select a flat, multi-fibred thread, this can be carefully split and the fur inserted between the separated strands. Spinning your bobbin holder in a clockwise direction (viewed from above) secures the fur in a tight rope, which is ultimately wound like a conventional hackle.
Step 1: Having formed the body, lightly tensioned thread is carefully divided using a fine point dubbing needle.
Step 2: Pine squirrel fur mounted in a dubbing clip is then offered up to the split thread.
Step 3: Pinching the thread tight immediately beneath the fur holds it in place whilst you spin the bobbin holder.
Step 4: Slowly releasing your grip allows the thread to twist tight and form a dubbing rope.
Step 5: Using damp fingers, squirrel fur is stroked rearwards to prevent unwanted fibres from becoming trapped as the hackle is wound forward.
Step 6: Three touching turns of dubbing rope will usually be sufficient. Remember to leave adequate room for a neat head.

Э́мили де Рэ́вин (, произносится ; род. 27 декабря 1981, Маунт-Элиза, Виктория, Австралия) — австралийская актриса, наиболее известная по роли Клэр Литтлтон в культовом телесериале «Остаться в живых», а также по роли Белль, в телесериале «Однажды в сказке».

Ранние годы
Эмили де Рэвин родилась в южном пригороде австралийского Мельбурна — городе Маунт-Элиза. Есть две старшие сестры. Имеет австралийские и французско-британские корни. Изучая балет с девяти лет в Christa Cameron School of Ballet в Мельбурне и занимаясь образованием дома с матерью, она поступила в пятнадцать лет в Австралийскую балетную школу, которую бросила через год. Училась актёрскому мастерству в  в пригороде Сиднея Кенсингтоне и в Prime Time Actors Studio в Лос-Анджелесе.

Карьера
Первой крупной ролью Эмили была периодическая роль демона Карапиры в австралийском сериале «Повелитель зверей». После этого она появилась в роли инопланетянки-человека Тэсс Хардинг в молодёжном сериале «Город пришельцев». Она получила эту роль через месяц после приезда в Лос-Анджелес в восемнадцатилетнем возрасте.

В 2004 году прошла кастинг на роль Клэр Литтлтон в хите телеканала ABC «Остаться в живых». В этом сериале она регулярно снималась на протяжении первых четырёх сезонов и вернулась обратно в последнем шестом сезоне.

Де Рэвин должна была сниматься в фильме-адаптации игры «», но продюсер Сэмюэль Хадида из-за смерти Хита Леджера, снимающегося в другом его проекте «Воображариум доктора Парнаса», вынужден был отложить дату выпуска фильма. «Onimusha» отложен на неопределённое время и нет никакого подтверждения, что де Рэвин будет продолжать принимать участие в этом проекте.

Летом 2009 года Эмили снялась в фильме «Помни меня» с Робертом Паттинсоном.

С 2012 года снималась в фантастическом телесериале «Однажды в сказке» в роли Белль, главной героини сказки «Красавица и чудовище».

The year 1981 was a good one. Besides graduating from high school, it marked the end of my first year working part-time in commercial radio at WJER.
Back then, we used Schafer automation systems, reel to reels, carousel cart machines, cart decks and turntables. We had EBS alerts (not EAS). The only competition for ears was other radio stations and a few Walkman portable cassette players. TV only had a relatively few satellite channels to compete with. And on pop radio, we were hearing Kim Carnes, Rick Springfield, Hall & Oates and others.
That year, 37 years ago, the NAB held its convention where it is this year, in Las Vegas. But the location may be one of the few things that remain about the same. This page features some of the pics from manufacturers promoting their "new" gear for NAB Show '81.
That year, there were about 450 exhibitors (compared to 1,700 this year); and you had 32 "floor hours" to peruse the halls which included a much smaller South Hall, East Hall and North Hall (no "Central Hall" by name).
Vincent Wasilewski was president of the National Association of Broadcasters — and Bob Hope was the guest for the Wednesday luncheon.
· What does radio need to do to compete in the market of the future?
· What will pay TV and growing cable abilities do to impact local TV?
· How will satellite distribution affect local news?
· How will new technology impact radio and TV stations?
· What will be the FCC and the government's positions on 9 kHz, AM stereo, DBS, and low-power television?
We know some of the answers but are asking all sorts of new questions, with new names like IP, internet and streaming now in the mix.
As we reflect back on these past decades, it's amazing to consider the changes in radio, ownership and the NAB Show itself.
The North Hall was pretty much all radio back then. Manufacturers included Harris, Comark, Broadcast Electronics, as well as Pacific Recorders, Russco, Micro-Trak and Capital Magnetics.
Here's a list of some other companies exhibiting in the North Hall in 1981. How many have you heard of? How many are still in business?
As our industry continues its evolution, gear will change, as will competition and even future group owners.

A new era begins at the Sheerness RNLI Lifeboat Station
Midday on Friday 30 July 2021 signals the start of a new era for the volunteer crews at the Sheerness RNLI Lifeboat station when their new Shannon Class all-weather lifeboat becomes operational.
RNLI/Vic Booth
14-13 Trent class 'The George and Ivy Swanson'
As of midday on Friday 30 July the long serving Trent Class Lifeboat 14-13 'The George and Ivy Swanson' will be taken off operational duties and will be replaced by the long-awaited Shannon Class all-weather lifeboat 13-38 'Judith Copping Joyce'.
Not only is the much loved 'George and Ivy', as she is affectionately known by crews past and present, retiring but also her equally loved full time Coxswain/Mechanic Robin Castle MBE will shortly be retiring himself, after 40 years of dedicated and illustrious service to the RNLI.
Robin will make his last trip on the 'George and Ivy' when he sails her down to Poole on Sunday 30 July where it is expected that she will become part of the training fleet.
The new Shannon all-weather lifeboat will be under the command of long serving crew member Paul 'PJ' Jarvis who will step up from 2nd Coxswain to become Robin's replacement as full time Coxswain at Sheerness. She will be in safe hands as not only is PJ a long serving crew member but along with the other four senior crew members, who between them have notched up 120 years of service, all the volunteers at sheerness have now completed very intensive training on the ultra-hi-tech Shannon.
The 'George and Ivy Swanson' arrived on station at Sheerness in 1995 and became operational in early 1996 and has been under Robin's command from day one.
Along with Robin, the 'George and Ivy' has also had an illustrious career with 692 callouts resulting in 1054 people aided and 29 lives saved.
Crew members past and present will assemble at Queenborough Harbour on Wednesday 28 July at 6.30pm when the 'George and Ivy Swanson' will be alongside the all-tide-landing for a photo shoot.
There will also be an opportunity for our many supporters to say 'goodbye' to the 'George and Ivy' on Sunday 30 July at 10.30am when, before setting sail for Poole, Robin will bring her round to Queenborough Harbour for one last time.

The REAL Weapon of Mass Destruction
I suspect there are very few people who really knows what going on behind the scene here, but China's got one and the USA got a couple. their aim is to paralyze the other by taking full control over cyber space with just one click. I'm talking about the supercomputers. An interesting study was released Monday; showing that the new Chinese machine – the Tianhe-1A – is totally superior against to the most powerful supercomputers in the US.
"Unless we invest in this area we are just going to end up with fantastic machines that we can not use."
Stephen Jarvis
The Tianhe-1A
While the Chinese officially fire up their new gigantic supercomputer for the first time, scientists from the University of Warwick presents new research at the World's largest supercomputing conference today, comparing China's new No. 1 supercomputer to the alternative US designs. The findings suggest that the new Chinese mega-machine may be up to seven times as faster than its US peers.
The work provides crucial new analysis that will benefit the battle plans of both sides, in an escalating war between two competing technologies, ScienceDaily.com reports.
According to the research by professor Stephen Jarvis, Royal Society Industry Fellow at the University of Warwick's Department of Computer Science, the GPU (GPGPU) designs used in China's 2.5 Petaflops Tianhe-1A is able to run 3 to 7 times as fast as the alternative supercomputing designs employed in the US.
The main reason is that these use relatively simpler processing cores brought together in parallel by highly effective and scalable interconnects, as seen in the IBM BlueGene architectures.
"If your application fits, then GPGPU solutions will outgun BlueGene designs on peak performance."The Tianhe-1A has a theoretical peak performance of 4.7 Petaflops, yet our best programming code-based measures can only deliver 2.5 Petaflops of that peak," professor Jarvis says.
Professor Jarvis' modeling found that small GPU-based systems solved problems between 3 and 7 times faster than traditional CPU-based designs.
However he also found that as you increased the number of processing elements linked together, the performance of the GPU-based systems improved at a much slower rate than the BlueGene-style machines.
So, it's not sure that the size of the Petaflops is all that matters.
According to the research is the super-machines are also producing a lot of unused computer power at the moment, burning enough energy to power a small US town.
"Contrast this with the Dawn BlueGene/P at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US, it's a small machine at 0.5 Petaflops peak [performance], but it delivers 0.415 Petaflops of that peak. In many ways this is not surprising, as our current programming models are designed around CPUs," Jarvis points out.
But there's more.
The BlueGene
"The BlueGene design is not without its own problems. In our paper we show that BlueGenes can require many more processing elements than a GPU-based system to do the same work. Many of our scientific algorithms — the recipes for doing the calculations — just do not scale to this degree, so unless we invest in this area we are just going to end up with fantastic machines that we can not use," professor Jarvis says.
Another key problem identified by the University of Warwick research is the fact that in the rush to use excitingly powerful GPGPUs, researchers have not yet put sufficient energy into devising the best technologies to actually link them together in parallel at massive scales.
Both the USA and China are racing for the next milestone in 21st-century computing – the Exascale – one quintillion floating-point operations per second (10^18).
"It's not simply an architectural decision either — you could run a small town on the power required to run one of these supercomputers and even if you plump for a design and power the thing up, programming it is currently impossible," Jarvis notes.
"At Supercomputing in New Orleans we directly compare GPGPU designs with that of the BlueGene. If you are investing billions of Dollars or Yuan in supercomputing programmes, then it is worth standing back and calculating what designs might realistically get you to Exascale, and once you have that design, mitigating for the known risks — power, resilience and programmability," he adds.
"Given the crossroads at which supercomputing stands, and the national pride at stake in achieving Exascale, this design battle will continue to be hotly contested. It will also need the best modeling techniques that the community can provide to discern good design from bad," professor Jarvis concludes.
The research paper, entitled "Performance Analysis of a Hybrid MPI/CUDA Implementation of the NAS-LU Benchmark" by S.J. Pennycook, S.D. Hammond, G.R. Mudalige and S.A. Jarvis at the University of Warwick's Department of Computer Science, was presented on Monday November 15 at the Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computing Systems in New Orleans.

Goran Dragic helps put Slovenia in EuroBasket semis with 26 vs. Porzingis, Latvia
By Ira Winderman
Sun Sentinel |
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic talks about trying to get players to come back and being more vocal this past season.
MIAMI — Goran Dragic's schedule with his national team will go to Sunday's limit at EuroBasket, after he helped power Slovenia to a 103-97 victory Tuesday over Latvia and Kristaps Porzingis in a quarterfinal game.
Dragic closed with 26 points and eight assists to help offset Porzingis' 34 points, as Slovenia, which improved to 7-0 in the event, moved into Thursday's semifinal game against Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio and the Spanish national team.
No matter Thursday's result, Dragic will then have at least one more game on Sunday, either for the EuroBasket championship or in the event's third-place game.
Following the game the 31-year-old Miami Heat guard reiterated that this tournament will end his international playing career, regardless of the outcome.
"I want to win a medal and then I'm out," he said following the victory in Istanbul, Turkey. "I mean, I'm going to be 32 and how FIBA changed the rules, how they're going to play qualification games between the season and my career is back in the States in the NBA, so I'm not going to be able to play anymore for a couple of years. So I think so, that's the right moment to put the shoes on the side from the national team.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to miss it, but I think that's the good thing to do, especially with this young group that we have. It's a lot of young players. I don't want to be in their way. They can grow as a team really well, a really good team. And they're going to be scary in the future. I'm done. This is my 10th year for the national team. So I already experienced everything. Hopefully this is going to continue with a medal."

The other semifinal will pit Wednesday's winners of Greece-Russia and Italy-Serbia.
Dragic closed 9 of 15 from the field in his 32 minutes Tuesday, with Slovenia outscoring Latvia by 21 when he was on the court.
Slovenia was paced Tuesday by the 27 points of 18-year-old phenom Luka Doncic, a potential No. 1 overall pick in next year's NBA draft.
"That's why he's the best at his age," Dragic said, "probably from 18 to 25. He's only 18 years old and he's playing with such a calmness. People back home, they're really happy that we've got him.

Shirokanedai Front is a 14-storey condominium located alongside Meguro Dori Street – a pleasant street lined with shops and with the rarity of having buried power-lines instead of overhead cables. The rear of the building overlooks the grounds of Happo-en. This is a historically wealthy part of the Shirokane neighbourhood. Located nearby is the historic Institute of Public Health, which was built in 1938 with the generous donation from the Rockefeller Foundation, as wells as the estate of the former Seiko Residence, which was purchased by a Singapore developer.
The building was designed by Archi Site Mobius and completed in 2002. There are just 21 apartments on the 14 floors.
This is a 2-Bedroom corner apartment on the 10th floor. It includes two balconies, and has a south-east facing living room with uninterrupted views of Happo-en. Both bedrooms have walk-in closets. The interior was renovated by Kagami Reform in September 2015. Renovations included new flooring in the living/dining, new wood decking on the balcony, kitchen counters, carpeting in the bedrooms and tile in the hallway.
Ceiling heights in the living/dining are up to 2,600mm, and 2,500mm in the bedrooms.
One car park (machine parking) is included with the apartment.
The building is managed by Sumisho Tatemono. Pets are negotiable (some restrictions apply).
The former residence of Fusanosuke Kuhara.
In the Edo period this site was originally the mansion of Okubo Hikozaemon. It later became the Daimyo residence for the Satsuma Domain, then the villa for the Shimazu clan. In the Meiji period it was the home of Seiichiro Shibusawa, an industrialist and cousin of Eiichi Shibusawa, the 'father of Japanese capitalism' and founder of what is now Mizuho Bank. The current building and 40,000 sqm grounds were created in 1915 for Fusanosuke Kuhara, entrepreneur and politician. After WWII, Kuhara converted his home into a traditional Japanese restaurant that would appeal to foreign visitors.
Homat Capital (condominium): 70 apartments.
The Green House Shirokanedai (condominium): 8 apartments.
Grand Hills Shirokanedai (condominium) – a similar sized apartment overlooking Happo-en was listed for 256 million Yen in 2015. 55 apts.
Shirokanedai Front (condominium): 21 apartments.
Quality House Shirokanedai (condominium): 13 apartments.

This animated GIF infographic begins with icons, but relies primarily on text to communicate its message. Each section of copy is fairly brief, but unfortunately the viewer can't identify the subject without reading, because the visuals aren't very specific to the subject. There is some reference to money made clear by a stack of coins and the presence of the Euro symbol, but aside from that the viewer can't understand the topic or any details without reading. A successful infographic should visually communicate its content, whether or not the viewer speaks the language in which the infographic is written.

CORFU (Greece)
We'll spend the morning cruising to the splendid island of Corfu. According to Homer's poems, Ulysses made a final stop here before returning to Ithaca. This afternoon, we'll enjoy an optional tour of the old city. Today a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the origins of the old city date back to the 8th century BC, but what we see today is approximately 500 years old, built mostly by the Venetians. And we'll visit the Achilleion, the island's emblematic palace built by the beloved Empress Sissi. Join us for an evening of dinner and dancing.
CORFU - SARANDA (Albania)
We'll cruise to Saranda in the early morning. When we arrive, join us for an optional visit to the Butrint ruins (an approx. 4-hour tour, including over 90 minutes of driving). These ancient ruins are famed for their size, beauty, and tranquility. They're in a fantastic natural setting and span 2,500 years. The top of the hill is where the acropolis once was; the views give you a good idea of the city's layout, and you can see the Vivari Channel connecting Lake Butrint to the Straits of Corfu in the distance.
This afternoon, we'll set out on an optional tour of Gjirokastër (an approx. 5-hour tour, including 3 hours of driving). Historic Gjirokastër is one of Albania's three UNESCO sites. Described as "a rare example of a well-preserved Ottoman town," the city is dominated by Gjirokastër Fortress. Gjirokastër contains several remarkable examples of houses with turrets, which date from the 17th century, but also more elaborate examples dating from the early 19th century. The Gjirokastër Bazaar is known for handmade wood pieces, handwoven rugs, and crafts such as delicate lace items. We'll enjoy a tasting of local products at the end of our tour. Tonight's festivities will have an Albanian flair!

Join us for a full-day, optional tour of Apollonia and Berat (lunch included - approx. 10.5 hours long, including 4.5 hours of driving). Our first stop will be Berat. In 2008, the village was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as it is a rare example of a well-preserved Ottoman town. We'll then continue on to the largest archaeological site in Albania: Apollonia. Set on rolling hills among olive groves, with impressive views all around, Apollonia was founded by Greeks from Corinth and Corfu in 588 BC. While the ruins are minimal, the onsite Apollonia Museum complex is excellent to experience. We'll return on board. Join us for an evening of entertainment.
This morning, we'll visit Tirana and its Natural History Museum (optional excursion, approximately 5 hours long, including 2 hours of driving). Tirana, the capital and largest city, is the heart of Albania's cultural, economic, and governmental activity. We'll visit the National History Museum, which takes you chronologically from ancient Illyria to the post-communist era. We'll also see Skanderbeg Square, where you can get a good look at the city's oldest building, the historic Et'hem Bey Mosque (the mosque is currently closed for renovations; the initial visit to this site will be replaced by a tour of the Blloku area). Once the area where the communist elite resided, it is now an upscale location for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Blloku is also well-known for its colorful, sometimes garish facades that contrast with the gray Soviet-era buildings. The simple, three-story former residence of Enver Halil Hoxha, head of Albania for over 40 years, can still be seen on Ismail Qemali Street.
We'll spend the afternoon cruising. Join us for an evening of dinner and dancing.
BAR (Montenegro)
We'll spend the morning on an optional visit to Stari Bar. Enjoy a guided tour of this old urban settlement in the mountains above the city of Bar. The tranquil feel of this place will make you fall in love with the whole country. Together with the stronghold towers, city gates, gun powder room, Prince's Palace, and Bishop's Palace, one can imagine the impressive town that it used to be.
We'll spend the afternoon cruising alongside Montenegrin coastline and through the Bay of Kotor.
Your cruise with all meals from dinner the first evening to breakfast on the final day - onboard drinks included (except for drinks from our special lists) - accommodations in double-occupancy cabin with shower in private bathroom - welcome cocktail - gala evening - assistance from our onboard, multi-lingual host/hostess - travel assistance/repatriation insurance - all port fees.
