Are TV Reruns the Perfect Energy Booster?
Perri O. Blumberg
Indulging in an episode or two (okay, a marathon) of Wife Swap before I go to sleep might not sound like world's most productive idea, but according to new findings out of University at Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions I'm onto a good thing.
In looking at 205 subjects, researchers found "a measurable restorative effect from a familiar fictional world," or, in simple terms, increased willpower after participants watched an episode of their favorite TV show.
Though the research seems promising, I won't be using it as an excuse to watch Breaking Bad for the first time: The beneficial effects were found only when re-watching an old favorite TV show, not just any show. The researchers speculate that while new shows require effort to follow plotlines and connect with characters, watching familiar shows allows your brain to relax and cruise happily along on auto-pilot.
Lead study author Jaye Derrick, Ph.D adds on the school's website, "I have found, for example, that favorite television shows can actually increase people's pro-social behavior. Specifically, after thinking about a favorite television show, people are more willing to forgive others, are more willing to help a stranger and are more willing to sacrifice for their romantic partner."
So, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go hang out with Carrie Bradshaw and the gang. How about you?

Oblastní rada Mate Jehuda (, mo'aca ezorit Mate Jehuda) je oblastní rada v Jeruzalémském distriktu v Izraeli.

Rozkládá se v kopcovité a přitom hustě osídlené krajině na pomezí pahorkatiny Šefela a Judských hor. Její území vyplňuje prakticky celý takzvaný Jeruzalémský koridor, který začíná na zalesněných kopcích na západním okraji Jeruzalému a pokračuje odtud směrem k západu do okolí města Bejt Šemeš (které ovšem pod jurisdikci rady nespadá) a dál, až na okraj zemědělsky intenzivně využívané pobřežní nížiny. Úřady oblastní rady Mate Jehuda sídlí v komplexu na jižním okraji vesnice Nacham. Rada má velké pravomoci zejména v provozování škol, územním plánování a stavebním řízení nebo v ekologických otázkách.

Dějiny

Jméno oblastní rady je odvozeno od kmene Juda, který zde sídlil v biblických dobách. Novověké židovské osidlování zde začalo vznikat už v době mandátní Palestiny. Tehdy ale šlo o izolované židovské osady na západním předpolí Jeruzalému, vlastní prostor nynějšího Jeruzalémského koridoru zůstával v naprosté většině arabský. Teprve po válce za nezávislost v roce 1948, kdy zdejší region dobyly izraelské síly a zároveň jej zcela opustila arabská populace, zde došlo k dotvoření židovské sídelní sítě. Na jihozápadním okraji oblasti bylo osidlování prováděno po roce 1957 v rámci plánovitého regionálního programu Chevel Adulam.

Oblastní rada Mate Jehuda vznikla roku 1964 sloučením dosavadních několika dosavadních menších oblastních rad (Harej Jehuda, Even ha-ezer, Gizo a ha-Ela). Vzniklo tak regionální sdružení, které je počtem členských obcí (přes 60) největší oblastní radou v Izraeli.

Seznam sídel
Oblastní rada Mate Jehuda sdružuje celkem 64 sídel. Z toho je 8 kibuců, 41 mošavů, 3 společné osady, 3 židovské vesnice, 2 arabské vesnice a 7 dalších sídel.

Monday Night Braaaaauuuuuunnnnnnnn – Raw Recap – Monday, January 15, 2018
RAW, Recaps
In the end times, it is said that the apocalypse shall follow four horsemen. Well, the horseman of death ate the other three, then decided the rest of the world deserved to get those hands and came to us in the form of Braun Strowman.
As the WWE moved along towards Texas (even though they've got to turn around and be in New York City in a week), San Antonio played host to the most recent display of animalistic carnage from the "Monster Among Us".
The show opened with Braun telling us a short story about the Royal Rumble (because why would a horseman of the apocalypse not also have the gift of foresight?). When he gets to Philadelphia, if he wills it, he will walk out the Universal Champion. Now for all intents and purposes, I don't want to see any outcome for the Royal Rumble where Braun does not achieve this goal as I've already had to watch Lesnar get past the Death Bringer once, but I don't ever really seem to get what I want (hence the John Cena win-loss record for events I attend live).
Strowman was then fired by Kurt Angle.
I'm going to ask you a serious question right now, and I know I've made a point to be pretty PG with this site throughout our history, but it has to be said exactly like this: who in the fuck would ever have the balls to fire that? Look back up there at that monster. You've seen him angry. He doesn't have to double in size and turn green, he's already a hulking fit of rage just walking around ready to eat the first born of anything that looks at him funny.
So Strowman did Strowman things, because what the hell else does he have to lose at this point, he's unemployed now.
And when I say Strowman did Strowman things, we've seen him flip an ambulance, emerge from a garbage truck after being crushed, and bring down an entire stage setup on top of people. What would the Monster bring to the table to one up all of that, and show that he's really pissed off now????? I'm glad you asked.
That's right, he unhooked a semi from one of the production trailers and flipped the sum bitch. He's not even sweating when he's done. I can't walk a half mile without having to change shirts on account of sweat and this guy is just going around deadlifting semi trucks.
Other items in the path of destruction:
Curt Hawkins just attempting to enjoy the craft services table after what I assume was a really quick loss on Main Event.
A cake.
Kurt Angle's office.
The relationship between Michael Cole and Booker T.
Michael Cole.
The last two are important to note because when Strowman headed towards the announcers desk to break more bodies, the entire crew began to scatter. At this point, Booker T appeared to push Cole down in an effort to sacrifice the long time broadcaster to the deity approaching.
Really, this is all that happened on this episode of Raw. I'm going to point out the rest of the things, but seriously, this is all that mattered and should be treated as such.
The things that took away from Braun Strowman's Screen Time:
Sonya DeVille def. Sasha Banks because hahahahaha, you're teamed with Balor so you're not over either, Boss. I think the road for DeVille to the Women's Championship will be a short one, unless Asuka ends up with it and then all the women should just transfer to Smackdown.
Titus Worldwide def. The Bar on a distraction from Jason Jordan to the dismay of his tag team partner.
Seth Rollins def. Finn Balor with a damned Curb Stomp. I thought that was outlawed. The Bar attempted to even the score, but didn't get very far as they inadvertently went at it with Gallows and Anderson.
Cedric Alexander def. Tony Nese with Golddust and Enzo at ringside. I won't even lie to you, I fast forwarded through a lot of this because 1) I knew before it even started that Cedric was going to get to hit the Lumbar Check and get the win and 2) having to watch Tony Nese job to Cedric Alexander bums me out.
The Revival def. Jobbers. Good to see them back, now use them.
Asuka and Nia Jax ended in a no contest when Nia was unable to compete following a seemingly nasty bump on the ring steps. This seems to be a work though as it was later used to push the Enzo-Nia story a bit further.
Woken Matt Hardy def. Heath Slater and debuted an entirely new entrance setup, complete with beautifully epic orchestral music and display components that even Vanguard 1 would be proud of.
Roman Reigns def. The Miztourage in a handicapped match, because yards and stuff.
A video package remembering Dr. King and a second of several of the superstars touring the museum in Memphis. It's always good stuff, I just wish we could show things like this throughout the year, all over, rather than only on one day or in one month. Let's just highlight the good in the world regularly rather than forgetting all the needs of society until you're trying to show off in December or on MLK day.
The important parts here are clearly Matt Hardy's updated entrance (which is fantastic) and the use of the Curb Stomp. Aside from that, it was mostly just Raw as Usual. In any event, BRAUNNNNNNNN GETS AN OVERALL GRADE OF A+, the rest of the show gets a B-
Change in the House that AJ Styles Built – Smackdown & 205 Live – January, 9, 2018
Hallelujah, Byron. The United States Championship is GLORIOUS! – Smackdown Live – January, 16, 2018 (205 Live and MMC happened, too)

Sankara Nethralaya. A Mission For Vision
November 29, 2019	Sankara Nethralaya News No Comments
Big dreams, big achievements and big relief win big honours!
Terms like enterprising spirit, dreaming big, increasing market share and business innovation seem typically in sync with large commercial enterprises operating in a competitive marketplace. These qualities appear out of place in a not for profit, service oriented environment as they are essentially viewed as qualities that commercial enterprises need to survive, sustain and win in a tough marketplace. As an institution Sankara Nethralaya has proved several times that a not for profit, service oriented institution can also leverage these qualities as much as commercial enterprises to fulfil its mission effectively and professionally. Accolades like 'Best Social Enterprise of the Year', 'Business Superbrand' 'Best IT adoption in Healthcare', 'Outstanding Institution Builder' award to Founder & Chairman Emeritus, Dr SS.Badrinath, are testimonials of this. The institution was also chosen as a 'Business Model' for their case study by members of the Avicenna Leadership Program from the Innsbruck University, Austria pursuing their 'Medical Education Leadership Course' under the American-Austria Foundation and by the Eastern chapter of the American Chamber of Commerce, Kolkata to share its 'Business Model' at their seminar titled 'Healthcare- Its reach, cost and quality'
It was a strong reiteration of the above spirit when Sankara Nethralaya was chosen as the 'Best Healthcare Institution' at the D2d (Dare to Dream Awards- Season-2) organized jointly by Zee Business and SAP, India. The jury applied their performance evaluation parameters of 'Market Expansion' (MESU & Teleophthalmology's cost free outreach) 'Business Innovation' (MESU) and 'Efficient Processes' (overall functioning) in that order. It is noteworthy to add that while the above qualities help an enterprise to increase its commercial worth and its stakeholder's worth in the case of SN they helped in the common good of mankind and society at large by reviving the lostvision of a large base of underprivileged visually impaired.
The Sankara Nethralaya family expresses its gratitude to the organizers of the D2d awards, organized essentially to acknowledge winning commercial business models, for acknowledging and honouring its endeavours in alleviating the pain and suffering of mankind and making them self- reliant and independent and salutes the MESU and all our outreach teams for their excellent work in reaching eye care to the unreached.
PS- We request every member of the SN family to switch on the 'ZEE Business' channel on Saturday 30th November 2019 (tomorrow) & Sunday 1st December 2019 at 8:30 PM and enjoy the proud moment as Dr Girish Shiva Rao, President & Medical Director, MRF receives the 'Zee Dare to Dream' award-2019 from Dr Rajendra Kumar, Principal Secretary & Industries Commissioner, Government of Tamil Nadu, Mr Ritwik Ray, Senior Sales Manager, SAP, India, Mr Lal Singh, General Manager, Union Bank Of India, Chennai at the glittering award ceremony held at the Hyatt Regency, Chennai.
SN celebrates its knowledge dissemination efforts in the graceful presence of a venerable Guru!
Sankara Nethralaya's annual celebration of knowledge sharing as enshrined in its tenets and acknowledging its achievers was celebrated with panache as the "31st Graduation ceremony of the Medical Research Foundation' on the 2nd of November 2019. The event assumed great significance as it marked the graduation of the last batch of students belonging to the Elite School of Optometry – BITS, Pilani academic collaboration and the fact that it was being held under the Aegis of a most respected guru, friend, guide, philosopher, generous supporter and the 1st Principal of the Elite School of Optometry, (ESO) Dr P P. Santanam, a man whose impeccable character, sterling virtues and lofty ideals made him the most ideal example to emulate, in the eyes of Dr SS.Badrinath and being chosen by him to lead the fledgling institution as a 'Role model for the students'. A man who continues to be 'a shining role model' to this day not only for the students of the pioneering institution he served as the first Principal, but to every staff member, consultant, scientist and researcher at Sankara Nethralaya.
It was a sight to behold as the graduating students walked up in their dream attire, the convocation gown, to receive their certificates from the chief guest and other peers similarly clad in their colourful attire, to the thunderous applause of the audience including their proud parents. The pledge and oath that followed reminded one of a new regiment of trained and spirited warriors leaving the fort to the battle field.
There was an air of confidence and pride in the voice of the institution's head of academics, Dr Meenakshi Swaminathan and there was good reason for the same, the institution's sterling achievements in 'knowledge acquisition and dissemination' one of its founding principles, came out loud and clear as she read out the 'Academic Report' filled with accomplishments of its stalwarts being conferred with Diplomates, Fellowships, Awards and other honours from the most prestigious seats of learning and professional bodies in India and abroad including the AAO. Royal College of Surgeons, Glasgow, Anglia Ruskin University, American Society of Retina specialists, IJO and the World's No-1 healthcare agency the WHO, for the impact of their research findings and contributions to overall eyecare. This was matched by the impressive number of PhD's won, papers published in peer reviewed journals by the students of the various educational institutions of the Medical Research Foundation. The most heartening aspect of the massive knowledge acquisition being showcased was its emphasis on the common good and translation into knowledge sharing through a list of major CME's and meets and demonstrable impact on public health and pain alleviation through measures like a directive on optimal classroom illumination and ergonomics, specialized eye testing for drivers, vision evaluation charts in local languages that a lay man can make use of on his own, inputs on niche visual needs of sportsmen etc.
The most awaited Chief Guest's address by the highly adored and respected Dr P P Santanam, a man captured in his shining avatars as an innovator, humanitarian, inspiring teacher, dedicated member of the SN family, generous contributor to research and academics, evolved soul, academician and a man who gave back all that he had to his institution, by Dr Rizwana, Assistant Professor, ESO and Head – Binocular Vision, held the audience in rapt attention, a speech which in his characteristic style was simple yet providing a lot of food for thought and sage counsel. The pioneer and leader in occupational optometry traced the origin and growth of the institution which was dearer to him than his home and the role of all those who contributed to its growth including its prime architect and visionary Dr SS.Badrinath.
The loving and caring academician had a word of advice to the large number of students gathered to keep their grey cells superior to gadgets by constantly exercising it and to practice their vocation/profession with ethics, compassion and commitment, which will eventually pave the way for rich rewards, instead of chasing short term and unethical gains. He closed his most absorbing talk with best wishes to the graduating students and a thoughtful observation that 'Learning is a journey, not a destination'!!
The'Optometry Wizard'establishes her wizardry over non-optometry fields as well!
Festember-2019 the grand annual cultural and talent extravaganza of the'National Institute of Tiruchirapalli'the 3 day inter collegiate festival showcasing culture, language, talent and knowledge held in October 2019, witnessed the exhibition of young talent and youth power in good measure. Keen participation from premium educational institutions like IIT-M, NIT Pondicherry, SRM University, NIT Trichy, ESO-SASTRA ensured non-stop action without a moment of dullness.
Mehal P.Rathore pursuing her Masters in Optometry under the ESO-SASTRA joint academic collaboration, the bright student whom readers would recall being honoured with the coveted title of 'Optometry Wizard' by Essilor, the leading optical devices company, for her proven mastery over a broad spectrum of subjects as diverse as clinical ophthalmology, ocular disease, clinical optometry, contact lens, Low Vision Aids, Binocular Vision and dispensing optics in a prestigious national competition. Mehal rose to the occasion once again at the Festember-2019, to prove that she is a force to reckon with in topics out of the ambit of optometry as well. Representing 'Unmaad' the Hindi literature club at SASTRA, the brilliant student exhibited great creativity, grasp, speed of communication and an enviable recall of old and new cinema and music to walk away with the first prize in both the dumb charades & Hindi music and cinema quiz.
The Sankara Nethralaya family applauds its young members superlative performance and honours in a keenly contested cultural event and wishes her a fun and knowledge filled academic journey.
SN's champions in the 'Science and art of Light and Vision' make a major impact at its most prestigious global meet
The 3rd World Congress of Optometry and 98th Annual Meeting of the American Association of Optometry (AAO) held during end October 2019 at sunny Orlando, the home of world famous 'Tupperware' range of serving and storage products, was a win, win situation for the Elite School of Optometry and Sankara Nethralaya, with its veteran Optometrists Dr Rizwana and Dr Anuradha making the best use of their presence at Optometry's most prestigious global event. It was a proud moment for the institutions she represented when Dr Rizwana was called upon to make a grand round presentation on 'Convergence and Divergence Insufficiency'- The Complex Couple' a challenging syndrome for optometrists. Her well researched papers on the management of 'Hemianopia' and 'Accommodative Spasm' both critical challenges for practitioners of optometry were also very well received. The expertise and experience of the first Indian Optometrist to be awarded a 'Diplomate' by the AAO were sought by the 'New Grad Optometry Community' at the global meet, under the prestigious forum 'Experience sharing by thought leaders in optometry' and her in-depth response by way of sharing her experience as an optometrist at a tertiary eye care institution in India reiterated her subject matter expertise and ability to effectively communicate complex theorems and algorithms to freshers.
The event witnessed the conferring of AAO's Fellowship, considered the highest recognition in Optometry on Dr. Anuradha, Head of Sankara Nethralaya's School Screening Projects. The fact that her Fellowship was awarded on the basis of her extensive publications on the critical field of children's eye health and the title of her paper 'Role of eye screening in promoting gender equality' came as a testimony to the passion, dedication and commitment of the Assistant Professor at ESO and champion of children's eye care and her institution's enduring values and philosophy.
The two young representatives succeeded in doing some valuable spade work for the inception of an exclusive India chapter at the AAO, the fact that the idea was very well received by the decision makers makes it a distinct possibility in the near future, a key development which would open the gates of the August body to budding optometry professionals, help in enhancing their knowledge, exposure and pursue their Fellowship at the most preferred destination for optometrists the world over.
The vibrant team held critical discussions with Dr Michael Twa, Dean, University of Houston and successfully drafted the next steps towards formalizing an academic alliance that would facilitate exchange of knowledge and collaborative research between scientists, researchers from Sankara Nethralaya's educational institutions and the University of Houston. The team made the best use of the presence of a large number of Alumni of the ESO at the meet by extending their personal invite, discussing the grand event and finalizing speakers for the forthcoming 'EIVOC' the equivalent of the AAO, this side of the Atlantic. The visit combining such varied accomplishments by the team of Dr Rizwana and Dr Anuradha made it a truly rewarding and memorable trip.
Sankara Nethralaya's multidisciplinary department conducts its multidimensional meet with a strong social message as its central theme
The Neuro-ophthalmology department at Sankara Nethralaya conducted it topical meet 'Symposium in Neuro ophthalmology: Afferents plus Efferents" – 'Synapse-2019' involving participation by experts from across the world, belonging to a cross section of specialties like ophthalmology, Neurology, Neurosurgery and Radiology, with a down to earth message as its central theme. The department which treats a large number of head injury caused vision impairment cases strongly felt that it had a larger role extending beyond treating such cases, in terms of preventing such occurrences, by education and awareness creation. While any injury to the head could lead to such complications, it realized that 'Road accidents' contributed the most to head injuries. As an institution with a strong public orientation through education and awareness creation the Neuro-ophthalmology department decided that 'Synapse- 2019' would not only be a knowledge acquisition and dissemination event but help in spreading strong awareness on road safety. It also realized that reaching out a critical message to a large target audience cannot be a one day affair and has to be a multi approach communication spread over a period of time and space.
It was most appropriate that Synapse-2019 which witnessed the culmination of a yearlong communication effort on road safety with a strong emphasis on the threat to life and senses caused by head injuries was graced by the grandmaster of Neurology Dr G.Arjun Das. The much awaited event started to a packed to capacity hall at the Taj Coramandel with a soulful invocation by Dr Meenakshi Swaminathan, Senior Consultant Paediatric ophthalmology department followed by a warm welcome note to the dignitaries and attendees by Dr T S. Surendran, Vice Chairman, SN who in his customary nostalgia recalled the creation of the Neuro-ophthalmology department at SN, the brainchild of Dr SS.Badrinath with Dr Lingam Gopal as its first head to its present status, he recalled the active association of the department with Dr Arjun Das and his sage counsel since the days of its inception. Dr S.Ambika, Director Neuro-ophthalmology department, SN and key architect of the symposium underlined how road accidents endangered life and how traumatic brain injury often led to permanent vision loss, adding that in most cases the victims were in the age group of 20-50 years and were often the bread winners of the family. Dr Girish Rao, Medical Director, SN gave an interesting note of the day's distinguished guests Dr R. Narayana Babu, Director of Medical Education under whose stewardship the health department is making impressive steps, he hailed Dr Arjundas as the Neurologist of the Millenium and Sankara Nethralaya's long association with him and his son Dr Deeepak Arjundas. Speaking on the occasion Director Administration, Sankara Nethralaya Mrs Akila Ganesan listed the sequence of awareness creation initiatives conducted from the beginning of the year that included installing Logmar charts, distribution of eye check kits across 9 HP petrol bunks, talks, skit, quiz with road safety as the central theme and safety oath on world optometry day and a critical drivers screening test and distribution of free glasses with anti-reflective coating. She ended her note with a firm resolve that all of us are responsible for road safety and every driver should undergo complete eye examination. Delivering the keynote address Dr Narayana Babu highlighted the trailblazing healthcare initiatives of the State government in terms of opening healthcare centres on highways, increasing the number of ambulances, reducing response and morbidity time, the senior bureaucrat from the health department observed that the challenge before healthcare providers is to reach out quality healthcare at affordable costs to 70% of the population living in the rural areas. Guest of Honour Dr G. Arjundas started his talk with a warm thanks note and high word of praise to the Neuro-ophthalmology department at SN for their consistent contribution to the field, he went back in time regaling on how good and bad accidents shaped his destiny, his meeting with the stalwarts of his era and its influence, on him and the starting of SN by one of his favourite students.
The most interesting and absorbing event with a participation of 8 International speakers,27 National speakers involving challenging case studies, debates latest innovations, best practises by a cross section of experts consisting of Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Pediatricians, Pathologists and Neuro-ophthalmologists witnessed the honouring of Dr Arjundas one of the legends in the field of Neurology with a 'Lifetime Achievement Award' and the release of a 'Road Safety' video with commentary by Actor Madhavan. The high power event came to a close with a warm vote of thanks to the distinguished guests, SN management, sponsors and distinguished delegates for their rich scientific contributions by Dr Shikha Talwar Bassi, Senior Consultant Neuro-ophthalmology dept.

An institution ingrained in his values and driven by his philosophy pays a 'bright' tribute to the Mahatma on his 150th birth anniversary
Even a cursory glance would reveal the striking similarity between the principles, values and objectives that govern Sankara Nethralaya as an institution and the ones propounded by the Father of the Nation. The institution came into being on the clarion call made by the Seer of the Kanchi Mutt, to strengthen the nation's health care capabilities, as a step towards self-reliance, it dispenses eye care with a spirit of service and love and without disparity between paying and non-paying patients, clear Gandhian values and principles. The institution engaged passionately in fulfilling the Gandhian dream of independence, self-reliance and dignity of our countrymen, by reviving the lost vision of the indigent visually impaired, for more than 4 decades, decided that the best homage and tribute to the Mahatma on his 150th birth anniversary would be by adopting a 'village' where he declared 'The Soul of India lives!' and ensuring the healthy vision of every single resident. 'Sankara Nethralaya Eye Hospital's Anjali to the Mahathma' whose acronym SNEHAM most appropriately translates as 'Love' or 'Friendliness' in Tamil, the brainchild of Mrs Akila Ganesan-Director Administration, Sankara Nethralaya evolved as a vehicle to fulfil the above.
It was most appropriate that Sankara Nethralaya's homage to the Mahatma, SNEHAM-2020, was flagged off by Shri K S Kandaswamy, Collector, Tiruvannamalai district, a civil servant passionately committed to Gandhian values, presiding over the function as the Chief Guest and Shri Surajmal Jain friend and well-wisher of SN and a philanthropist deeply ingrained in Gandhian values and patron of the Suraj Sankara Nethralaya, as a guest of honour. Delivering the welcome address, Dr. Chandrakanth,-In-Charge of the Suraj Sankara Nethralaya, Tiruvannamalai hailed the occasion as a Red Letter Day and a giant step in the institution's community outreach initiatives, he underlined that SNEHAM-2020 being flagged off most appropriately by a Gandhian civil servant will empower and liberate the villagers living in 150 villages in the district through revival of vision. Dr Anuradha Narayanan, Assistant Professor at the ESO and a driving force behind the project hailed that SNEHAM-2020 will bring Vision 2020 (100% vision) to the underprivileged, by year 2020 by eliminating avoidable blindness through massive screening of the local population, the expert in eye screening highlighted that these camps will help in diagnosing diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, refractive errors and offer preventive/curative care and free glasses. She highlighted that the success of any project depended on the people behind it and hailed the generous gesture of Mr Milind Jadhav, Senior Director, Inclusive Business & Philanthropy, South Asia, Essilor, gracing the occasion, for committing a staggering 50,000 spectacles, approximately valued at INR 1.5 crores for free distribution, from the Essilor Foundation, as their contribution to the project. Dr Anuradha thanked the Collector and Shri Surajmal Jain for supporting the distribution of self-help kits to the schools in the district with the help of which teachers could do basic eye examination of the students. Hailing the Collector as the very epitome of humanity Shri Surajmal Jain highlighted the humanitarian services rendered by him to the district which made him a fan of him, sterling qualities which came for fulsome praise with live examples in the intro of the chief guest by Mrs Akila Ganesan-Director Administration, Sankara Nethralaya
Delivering the Chief Guest's address Shri KS Kandaswamy, Collector, Tiruvannamalai district exclaimed that it was a golden day for the district and expressed his thanks to Sankara Nethralaya for launching SNEHAM-2020, he hailed Shri Surajmal Jain's generous gesture of donating an entire hospital for a noble cause as a rare gesture in today's world adding that his numerous service initiatives have made him as important to the district as it's administrative machinery. He underlined that SNEHAM 2020 would be a critical preventive care initiative which would help in diagnosing and treating ailments through its massive school screening programs. The service minded Civil Servant lamented that education today is unfortunately being viewed as something that would simply improve the scope for employment and earning opportunity of the individual and its larger role of imparting knowledge and character building is often neglected, he exhorted the students gathered in large numbers not to allow small hurdles to block their big goal, he advised them to not look for the family inheritance and instead focus on gaining knowledge and learning, as wealth will diminish with the passage of time but knowledge cannot be destroyed and will stand by them all through their life. He closed his talk on an emotional note that each brick of their classrooms will carry their dream and will happily and proudly welcome them when they achieve their dream and visit their old school as highly successful men and women.
SNEHAM-2020 Sankara Nethralaya's ambitious cost free outreach initiative and 150th birth anniversary homage to the Mahatma put its best leg forward with its maiden eye screening camp at the Suraj Higher Secondary Matriculation school, Melthangal village, Chetpet Taluk, Tiruvannamalai district, the venue of the launch.

So I found another weapons combo the AI can't use beam+beam.
Euke
Am I looking at the chambers wrong or is perma stealth no longer possible?
you know, after some testing myself I feel there needs to be a small UI update with a flight direction indicator. Like a small indicator of where your inertia is pulling you allowing you to fire torpedoes (missile+missile) more accurately at speed. As is currently, I couldn't hit a moving barn even if I was at point blank range! Also, the turret problem could be solved if the beam+cannon turrets were to be set to aim in front of where its target was moving, allowing the speed of the turret to correct for the movement of the ship.
Ckeeze
I really don't think there should be 3 out of 9 combos that the AI can't even use (let alone be potent with)... AI faction fleets (and other NPC enemies) would never be able to challange (or at least pose some threath to) the player sence all 3 of those are OP as fuck, plus instead of a fleet this might push the players to use just ONE ship, and where is the fun in that?

Yeah, both systems received a very negative response when they were implemented. Thankfully they're much more useable now.
Stabs were implemented to force ships to get larger if they wanted more power and the stream was to prevent modular ships so you are forced to protect your power stream.
Ah ok! I forgot about the "islands", thank you! Though, I still don't see how its more fun if a ship has to have larger dimensions in order to obtain more power. I feel like all that does is force empty space in a ship, which looks messy and kills efficiency (because there is a lot more mass compared to systems).
(Warning: There is a lot more writing here. My main point is all the way at the bottom, while the rest in-between is just me going through every possible way I can think of that creating empty space in a ship might be perceived as a good thing and then explaining how creating empty space does not accomplish such goals)
Maybe the idea is to encourage adding more armor? Then again, one can't just add more thrusters (because of power limitations), and therefore more armor (you're still making the same sacrifice between armor and maneuverability either way), so I would think that armor would be equally encouraged with or without stabilizers.
The same could be said of creating interior space, because it is still adding more blocks that aren't systems, just like adding armor. The only difference is that this time the tradoff is between maneuverability and aesthetics. This will always be the case, as one can only have a finite amount of systems in any given build, thanks to stabilizers. For example, using thrusters as the floor or something doesn't have the benefit of creating more room for systems like it used to because there will still be the same number of systems anyway (because of power limitations), effectively making it so one is just adding more non-system blocks for interior. (I must say, I wouldn't be against the Devs giving interior spaces a functional purpose. That could open up more possibilities for ship and system design. I know that MacThule had a pretty good idea about integrating interior and chambers.)
Perhaps the idea is to encourage chamber usage? Well, that shouldn't be an issue, so long as chambers can do something that a bunch of system blocks of equal size cannot.
I don't think the system restriction really has any interesting way to discourage just filling a place with systems in a boring fashion, either. Right now, stabilizers try to encourage prioritizing the amount of systems in a ship by limiting how many systems blocks can be in a ship with a limited power output.
Ideally, this role would be taken on by the resource cost of the systems themselves. This would encourage utilizing systems in an efficient and thought-out manner, a far more interesting alternative to just whacking them in to fill the gaps. One way this could be applied is designing within the constrictions of a ship's role. For example, a builder might think about making an attack cruiser that is meant to get in, strike quickly, and get back out. Ideally, this cruiser would have relatively big guns and lots of maneuverability to get in, deal as much damage as possible to the enemy, and then get out of dodge. Those two types of systems would serve the ship much better than more shields, as the cruiser would, if operated properly, not really need that many shields to get in and out quickly, as it would not be exposed to enemy fire for prolonged periods of time.
Unfortunely, currently it is very easy to obtain what is essentially an unlimited supply of resources with a big enough salvager, making resource allocation not a huge concern for any player.
Some people may also argue that because stabilizers create space within a ship, players can make systems in uniform clusters without just filling in the cracks between rooms and so forth, creating weird shapes. However, this issue is already solved in the forms of system integrity (which punishes players if their system blocks are too irregular) and chambers, both of which provide nice clusters of blocks that if damaged can cause systems to not function as well. To top it all off, this sort of targeting currently is not possible, because even with a sniper zoom anda lead indicator, being that specific in targeting a ship is super difficult unless the targeted ship is massive. (oooo, I just got an idea. What if a chamber for recon gives the ability to have a lead indicator for system clusters based on center of mass? I'm totally gonna go suggest that.)
To sum it up, I can not come up with any positive side to creating empty space within builds using stabilizers. If I am missing something here, then PLEASE, anyone, write a response to showcase that. In fact, I IMPLORE the community to prove me wrong. I want to see the positive side of stabilizers if there is one.
And then there's the problem with the missile capacity modules. I tested them and you need HUNDREDS of capacity blocks just to break the two missile cap. I mean, we can change it in the configs but this is just ridiculous as a default.
I agree that the capacity modules feel pretty weird. I did some testing in singleplayer, and found that it took almost three hundred modules to get to three missiles, but only about two hundred to get to three missiles, with the amount of modules need to get another missile steadily decreasing all the way up to twenty missiles (that's as far as I went). I feel like it would make a lot more sense to simply have a flat number of modules per one missile increase. Say, one hundred modules or so, perhaps more. This would make the system much easier to use, as it's easier to plan for a linear increase in modules for the desired missile quantity. Ships also should be able to store two missiles by default, because why wouldn't anyone just go ahead and place the one extra block required to get two missiles?
NTIMESc
First, let me say that I'm not a fan of the way in which stabilizers function, mainly because they seem too abstracted from reality, as to make the system uninteresting and less meaningful to the player. I would much prefer them to be redesigned and relabeled as a cooling system for heat dissipation or similar, but that is another story.

Stabilizers are not about forcing empty space. They are about abstracting a simulation of the difficulties surrounding the generation of large amounts of power in a way that can scale and be balanced for game play.
I must say, I wouldn't be against the Devs giving interior spaces a functional purpose. That could open up more possibilities for ship and system design.
This, I believe, is part of the plan. It's just not there yet.
Right now, stabilizers try to encourage prioritizing the amount of systems in a ship by limiting how many systems blocks can be in a ship with a limited power output.
Ideally, this role would be taken on by the resource cost of the systems themselves.
I wouldn't agree with this on the grounds that I can easily afford to buy more "systems" (and they are abundantly available) than, my car, for example, could possibly run. It's meager power generation system, which not only generates excessive amounts of heat, is extremely limited in it's ability to be upgraded by any significant amount without a costly redesign of the "reactor" and a likely increase in the dimensions of the vehicle, both of which, I imagine, would carry a cost far above that of the systems being added. Of course, this is a science fiction game, and you could just as easily argue that the power of the sun can fit in the palm of your hand and be done with it.
Ideally, this cruiser would have relatively big guns and lots of maneuverability to get in, deal as much damage as possible to the enemy, and then get out of dodge.
Isn't this already possible? Admittedly, I have not tried many experiments or tests, but I believe shields consume quite a lot of power even at rest. If shields were minimal, or omitted, this would leave more of the scarce power to be directed towards larger weapons. It may be that weapon power consumption far exceeds that of shields making the trade-off non-viable, but that would seem to be something quite easily balanced. Maybe someone else has some insight on these types of power trade-offs that could help the developers.
because stabilizers create space within a ship, players can make systems in uniform clusters without just filling in the cracks between rooms and so forth, creating weird shapes. However, this issue is already solved in the forms of system integrity (which punishes players if their system blocks are too irregular) and chambers, both of which provide nice clusters of blocks that if damaged can cause systems to not function as well. To top it all off, this sort of targeting currently is not possible,
I don't think system targeting was specifically mentioned in any of the news posts, but there was a point, quite a while back when AI targeting switched to targeting system blocks instead of the ship core. My assumption is that the developers are aware that system targeting is a desired feature, and it was at least hinted that the group outlining system implemented in v0.199.646 would continued to be updated for information warfare. The first example of this was in the initial Power 2.0 update with the recon and stealth chambers allowing you to reveal reactor and system groups when scanning. Now we just need the ability to target those revealed systems.
In summary, for me, the power/stabilizer system needs some reworking and a coat of varnish to make it more pleasant/interesting/sensible. Further updates will hopefully address issues with functional interior space, as well as enhanced targeting/information from scanning.

Ships also should be able to store two missiles by default, because why wouldn't anyone just go ahead and place the one extra block required to get two missiles?
I do agree that the missile capacity system is not easy enough to use, but imagine for a second, if you actually had to build the missiles you are firing, and thus allocate the space needed for however many missiles you wanted to hold.
Missile power can vary greatly and I don't think it would make sense to have a uniform x number of capacity blocks per missile. I can imagine that one doomsday missile might easily take up the space of 100 smaller missiles. Barring a switch to actual non-regenerating ammo that you have to load onto your ship and dock at a station to replenish, the capacity system seems to be pretty good, but maybe needs a small buff.

Thanks for the reply! For the parts of my response that don't seem to be as much of a point, I was trying to run through everthing I could think of to justify stabilizers, no matter how much weight such discussions have carried in recent times.
I think you're right about prioritizing one type of system over another, that it is already in place, so it would seem that filling up blocks shouldn't be as much of a problem because there still is the choice between what systems a ship really needs.
I really appreciate that you brought it up that stabilizers intentionally make power generation more difficult. I had not thought of that angle, though to me this game seems to be about making whatever ship you want and having it fly around and do stuff, rather than the difficulties of actually maintaining said ship and adding more stuff over time. One basically has unlimited time to go through with said "costly reactor upgrade" anyway. As a result, stabilizers create more of a chore to add more systems than anything else.
So yes, I do think that for the purposes of this game, players may as well "have the power of the sun in their hands and be done with it", because this game is more about designing your dream ship and watching it go than the act of actually figuring out the engineering behind it.
I believe that the only roles reactors should play within the game are to be a volitile area of the ship to b protected and to make the functioning of systems on a ship more believable to the player.

I'm pretty sure that the AI can be taught to use beam+beam. Cannon+missile as well. Missile+missile... well, that might be hard to teach a basic AI to use.
The AI hasn't been touched while new weapons have been tweaked, but it will be. So I am going to refrain drawing any conclusions about which weapons the updated AI will be able to use when the big universe update round pushes out.
tl;dr - I don't think that the status of several weapons as being unusable by AI will continue past the universe beta release. Maybe one will (which would still kinda suck but is acceptable IMO).
Reactions: NTIMESc and pigghoti
The weapons update is technicality not out yet it is still a pre-build. So I hope the AI will get fixed before the full release of the weapons update.
It would be nice if they made a system that allows you to customize how blocks work in game rather then forcing people to play with the configs.
GnomeKing

They've already said AI is to be updated as part of the beta galaxy update. So it should be next round after weapons releases - wish it was all at once.

Unless I'm misinterpreting what Lancake is saying I don't think it will happen this for the release of the weapons update.
Lancake said:
AI requires some rework to make it work properly with all weapons, it's something to work on after this release.
Source: T3036 AI doesn't use Missile+Missile bombs correctly
Yup, they're saving the AI update pretty much for last because they don't want to have to do it multiple times.
Every time a new block functionality gets added, the AI has to be updated to know how to use it. So they're waiting until they get all of the functionality in place before redoing the AI from scratch so that they only have to do it once.
JinM
redoing the AI from scratch
And at the end they will implement machine learning AI in combination with OpenAI.
You aren't forced to play with configs, and in fact, it's better if most people don't mess with them, unless they are earnestly testing values for the purpose of finding bugs for evaluating balance in the game. I would rather not see a nice friendly UI for casual tinkering until the core features have stabilized and mechanics are no longer being added or removed. Writing documentation or formatting information for public consumption can be quite time consuming and probably isn't the best use of the developers time at this stage. But the configs are all just XML files, so anyone can take a stab at making a web app or something to parse and format them into a nice UI.
JinM said:
Only useful if their NPC AI is using it and controlling things like a player, won't be much help for turrets and other AI module things.
Well personally, I still want Block Based AI.

← I love him so much. I just hate him a little more…!
These days, more and more people have become diet and health conscious. While the lazy ones continue to binge on fast foods, a lot many active ones throng the gym and have marginally reduced the consumption of carbs and fats. But when it came to a drink that was healthy, 100% natural yet tasty, even they had no answer. That's when the idea of Revive was culminated.
After a couple of years of hard-work and great research, in a first of its kind venture in the beverage industry, the team at Revive : Blast Your Senses headed by Mr Gaurav Parekh, has come up with 100% natural flavored milk products. The milk is made of 100% natural ingredients and contains no artificial flavors, no preservatives and no artificial color either, which is just like a revolution in the food and beverage industry.
The milk is available in cans and packaging is ideal and easy to carry, making it a must-have during family get-together or while hanging out with friends. Especially during holiday season, it can be a great substitute for colas, which are dissed by diet-friendly and health-conscious people.
The various milk flavors from Revive : Blast Your Senses are available at quick service outlets and retail stores across the metro cities of India. They are also available at various hotel chains and corporate offices. If you are the lethargic kind, you can also order them, with the help of a few clicks, from Amazon India.
P.S : Now that the winter is about to end and summer is almost upon us, Revive is a good bet to consume cold drinks to keep ourselves cool yet be healthy and strong without much intake of fat and sugar that colas carry in huge amount.
P.P.S : It can be served hot as well as chilled making it consumable all through the year.

Édouard Victoire Antoine Lalo (Rijsel, 27 januari 1823 - Parijs, 22 april 1892) was een Frans violist en componist. Hij behoort tot die componisten, die er naar streefden in de laatste dertig jaren van de 19e eeuw de Franse muziek te vernieuwen. Hij componeerde vooral instrumentale muziek. Omdat zijn muziek meestal na 1870 werd uitgevoerd, bleef Lalo voor het grote publiek voor een lange tijd onbekend.

Levensloop

Jeugd en opleiding
Lalo, een telg uit een officiersgezin dat in de 16e eeuw van Spanje naar Frankrijk geëmigreerd was, had al vroeg interesse voor muziek. Vanaf 1833 studeerde hij muziektheorie en viool bij professor Müller, cello bij Peter Baumann aan het Conservatoire National de Région de Lille in Rijsel. In 1839 verhuisde hij naar Parijs en studeerde viool bij Pierre de Sales Baillot en later bij François-Antoine Habeneck. Verder studeerde hij privé compositie bij de pianist en muziekleraar Julius Schulhoff, maar hij beschouwde zichzelf later als compositorische autodidact. Door Schulhoff kwam hij ook in contact met Joseph-Eugène Crèvecoeur (1819-1891), bij wie hij eveneens enige tijd compositie studeerde, alhoewel Crèvecoeur slechts vier jaar ouder was. Zijn levensonderhoud verdiende Lalo als violist – in 1849-1850 speelde hij mee in een orkest – en muziekleraar.

Violist en componist
Zijn eerste bekende composities zijn liederen met pianobegeleiding uit 1848, waarvan hij twee partituren heeft voorgelegd aan Hector Berlioz. Hij raakte bevriend met de violist Jules Armingaud en diens vertrouweling, de componist en vioolvirtuoos Pablo de Sarasate. In 1855 richtte hij met zijn nieuwe vriend een strijkkwartet, het "Quatuor Armingaud", op, waarin hij aanvankelijk altviool en later tweede viool speelde. Hij leefde toen nog met zijn eerste vrouw in Puteaux in een financieel slechte situatie. Omdat toen in Frankrijk instrumentale muziek – met uitzondering van enige werken van Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart en Ludwig van Beethoven – niet populair was, had hij met zijn kamermuzikale werken geen groot succes. Hij ontving meermalen de steun van Charles Gounod, die zijn muziek heeft gewaardeerd. In 1859 richtte hij een eigen strijkkwartet op. In 1865 huwde hij met zijn tweede vrouw, de altzangeres Julie Bernier de Maligny. Ze vertrokken naar Parijs, wat betere sociale kringen voor hem opende.

De doorbraak als componist
Zowel in de muziekkamer thuis als in andere privésalons in de Franse hoofdstad gaf hij concerten op vrijdagavond. Pas vanaf het begin van de jaren 1870 boekte hij zijn eerste successen. Na de verloren Frans-Duitse Oorlog van 1870-1871 werd de Société Nationale de Musique opgericht, die zich voor de vernieuwing van de Franse muziek inzette. Dit gezelschap poogde te concurreren met de als dominant opgevatte Duitse traditie van de symfonische en kamermuziek te concurreren en steunde daarom vooral de uitvoering van eigentijdse Franse instrumentale muziek. Binnen de door dit gezelschap georganiseerde concertreeksen werden ook werken van Lalo geprogrammeerd. De vooraanstaande dirigenten Charles Lamoureux en Étienne Jules Pasdeloup zetten zich in voor de composities van Lalo en de vioolvirtuoos Pablo de Sarasate speelde in 1874 en 1875 zijn vioolconcerten opus 20 en 21. Het waren grote successen en het tweede vioolconcert, getiteld Symphonie Espagnole op. 21, werd zijn bekendste instrumentale werk.

Door deze successen aangemoedigd nam hij ook als operacomponist een nieuwe aanloop. De in 1878 begonnen opera Le Roi d'Ys, gebaseerd op de Bretonse legende over de verzonken stad Ker-Ys, sloot hij af in 1887. Het werk beleefde eerst concertante deeluitvoeringen en werd door de directies van de theaters afgekeurd. Maar de première in 1888 aan de Opéra-Comique in Parijs betekende voor Lalo de uiteindelijke doorbraak als componist. Lalo heeft daarnaast nog een aantal opera's gecomponeerd, waarvan La jacquerie onvoltooid is gebleven. De aktes 2 tot 4 werden later door Arthur-Joseph Coquard voltooid. Fiesque werd pas in 2007 voor het eerst scenisch opgevoerd te Mannheim.

Sviblovo (Russisch: Свиблово ) is een station aan de Kaloezjsko-Rizjskaja-lijn van de Moskouse metro.

Geschiedenis
Het station werd geopend op 29 september 1978 als 105e van het Moskouse metronet. Het maakt deel uit van de verlenging van de Kaloezjsko-Rizjskaja-lijn naar de gebieden aan de noordkant van de stad die in 1960 zijn geannexeerd. De naam van het station en de wijk zijn te danken aan het 14e-eeuwse dorp dat eigendom was van gouverneur F.A. Sviblo, een medewerker van Dmitri Donskoj. De achternaam van de gouverneur is afgeleid van het oud Russische woord voor lispelen.

Ligging en inrichting
Het station kent twee ondergrondse verdeelhallen, elk boven een kopse kant van het perron, die met trappen met het perron zijn verbonden. De verdeelhallen zijn met voetgangerstunnels verbonden met toegangen langs de straat. De noordelijke toegangen liggen bij de Snezjnajastraat en de Amundsenstraat, de zuidelijke liggen aan weerszijden van de Snezjnajastraat net ten zuiden van het kruispunt met de Roesanovadwarsstraat. Ondergronds is er sprake van een luxe variant van de "duizendpoot", een standaardontwerp uit 1960. In plaats van de betegeling van het standaardontwerp is royaal gebruikgemaakt van marmer. Het station werd onder leiding van architect R.I. Pogrebny en ingenieur L.B. Satskova gebouwd met geprefabriceerde onderdelen. De tunnelwanden zijn bekleed met wit en grijs geaderd koelga-marmer. De zuilen zijn geplaatst in twee rijen van 26 en zijn bekleed met marmer en inzetstukken van goudgeanodiseerd aluminium. Boven de trappen tussen de verdeelhallen en het perron zijn kunstwerken aangebracht. Het noordelijke paneel beeldt de legende van Igors regiment uit, het zuidelijke paneel laat meisjes in volkskleding zien. De fries van de tunnelwanden is opgesierd met wapenschilden en panelen van de hand van J.K. Korolev. De 48 mozaïeken, 24 op iedere tunnelwand, beelden de wapens af van Russische steden. Naast de mozaïeken is de plaatsnaam in Oudslavisch schrift aangebracht met gegoten letters. Ondanks het afscheid van communistische namen binnen de Russische toponymie in 1990 en 1991 bleef de naam Zagorsk, tegenwoordig Sergiev Posad, in het station gehandhaafd.

Aansluitende sporen
Aan de noordkant van het station liggen verbindingssporen naar het gelijknamige depot. Deze sporen sluiten aan op het westelijke spoor, een in noordelijke en de andere in zuidelijke richting. Via overloopwissels kunnen de sporen van het depot ook vanaf het oostelijke spoor worden bereikt. Behalve deze sporen zijn er ook voorbereidingen getroffen voor een aftakking richting spoorwegstation Losino-ostrovskaja iets verder naar het noordoosten. Wegens gevreesde overbelasting van de lijn is deze aftakking nooit gebouwd al zijn de ondergrondse portalen voor deze aftakking wel gebouwd.

Reizigersverkeer
De eerste metro in noordelijke richting vertrekt doordeweeks om 6:03 uur, in het weekeinde op oneven dagen om 6:02 uur en op even dagen om 6:04 uur. Richting centrum is het eerste vertrek in het weekeinde om 5:31 uur op even dagen doordeweeks om 5:29 uur en op oneven dagen om 5:30 uur.

Q: Create new dataframe column where cell value indicates animal type Suppose that I have the following dataframe called pet_stores that consists of the number of cats and dogs per location of a pet store franchise
    Dog   Cat   City
0   5     11    NYC
1   4     1     San Francisco

How can I transform this dataframe such that instead of having separate Dog and Cat columns I have a single column called animal_type? I want the following result:
    animal_type Count   City
0   Dog         5       NYC
1   Dog         4       San Francisco
2   Cat         11      NYC
3   Cat         1       San Francisco

Thanks!

A: Use melt:
>>> df.melt('City', var_name='animal_type', value_name='Count')
            City animal_type  Count
0            NYC         Dog      5
1  San Francisco         Dog      4
2            NYC         Cat     11
3  San Francisco         Cat      1

Without melt and index manipulation:
>>>  df.set_index('City').rename_axis(columns='animal_type') \
       .stack().rename('Count').reset_index()
            City animal_type  Count
0            NYC         Dog      5
1            NYC         Cat     11
2  San Francisco         Dog      4
3  San Francisco         Cat      1

"Good War" filmmakers join Goshen College for viewing
GOSHEN, Ind. — In every generation, young people have responded to the drum of war as military volunteers or draftees, paying with service, and often with their lives to resolve conflicts between governments. Yet others choose an alternative by becoming conscientious objectors (COs), to serve their country by refusing to take up arms.
These individuals are recognized in the documentary film "The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It," which aired on public television in 2002. Judith Ehrlich, writer, director and producer of the film, and Suzanne O'Brien, national outreach coordinator, were guests of Goshen College on Jan. 7 for a special screening of the film and discussion on educating youth, their mentors and society, on the history of conscientious objection and its current status as an alternative when registering for the draft.
Their visit came just days after the announcement that the film was awarded the John E. O'Conner Film Award from the American Historical Association.
Ehrlich had a special interest in Civilian Public Service (CPS), a project set up for COs during World War II to substitute unpaid work of national importance for military service. In making the film, she wanted to raise consciousness about CPS.
"I thought I knew a lot about the draft," said Ehrlich, "but I didn't know about CPS camps. I thought if I didn't know about CPS camps, no one knew about CPS camps. I thought I'd take them out of the trash bin of history."
Sam Yoder, professor emeritus of education, was interviewed in the film about his experience in CPS as a young man coming from an Amish community near Goshen. CPS was the primary alternative for many young Mennonite men, and some women, who refused military service during World War II.
In the discussion after viewing the film, participants shared their struggles with the question of military service, conscientious objection and refusing to register.
Doug Hostetter, adjunct professor of peace, justice, and conflict studies, told the audience of his experience during the Vietnam War. As a CO, Hostetter chose for his alternative service to be a volunteer for Mennonite Central Committee in one of the most dangerous regions of Vietnam. Hostetter served without fighting, and was able to win the respect of many of the U.S. soldiers in the area.
Hostetter refuted the criticism that conscientious objectors choose the position out of fear of combat, saying "There are many opportunities for pacifists who want to put themselves in situations of conflict to do so. There are many types of service to one's country and the world," said Hostetter. It is only a few who are called, voluntarily or by the draft, "to put their lives on the line," he added. During the Vietnam War, Hostetter estimated that a proportionate number of relief workers to U.S. soldiers were killed.
Discussion and workshops during the day also included current options for young men who must decide if they will register for the draft, ways for colleges and churches to provide scholarships to alleviate the financial stress that pushes many youth into the military, and the importance of CO history as a part of U.S. history.
Ehrlich and O'Brien are traveling throughout the U.S. with the film and holding discussion groups to get advice on spreading the message to a wide audience. The group at GC included students, faculty, retired professors, high school students, pastors and peace activists.

Home Politics Edo LG Rerun: Oshiomhole Subverted The Will Of The People – Onolememen
Edo LG Rerun: Oshiomhole Subverted The Will Of The People – Onolememen
Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has been warned by the Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen against using executive powers, which he derived from the people to disenfranchise them in a mere local government election because it did not go according to hi plans.
The minister, who was reacting to last Tuesday's re-run election in Esan North East local government area in which the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate Sam Oboh was declared winner, said he was shocked by the level of "baseless allegations" made by Oshiomhole, who he described as a "self-appointed emperor.
Speaking at the swearing-in of the council chairman at Government House in Benin City on Wednesday, Gov. Oshiomhole had said, "I am embarrassed that the police are involved in carrying electoral materials, arresting EDSIEC returning officers and coercing them into a police station and converting it into a collation centre supervised by policemen imported from Abuja and Lagos in order to subvert the will of the people of Esan North East".
Onolememen in his response to the governor's allegation challenged him to tell Nigerians whether it was the result that were "forcefully" signed in Uromi that he (Oshiomhole) used to declare Oboh as chairman or the one signed in Government House.
Speaking through his media aide – Tony Ikpasaja, the minister said it was untrue that he deployed his personal security to rig the election which the state government was conducting for a third time.
He said: "I am at loss as to how a mere 'VIP' Protection Escort could have rigged an election covering 106 polling booths in 11 wards spread across the local government area in the presence of over 200 armed policemen. The good people of Edo State and indeed Nigerians are living witnesses to the deception in one-man-one-vote principle of the governor. The facts of the Esan North East council election are there for all to see."
He noted that despite the state government's manipulation of the election process, "the good people of Uromi stood their ground and expressed their preferences through the ballot."
According to the minister, the election turned out to be one of the fairest in the history of local government elections in the state with unprecedented turn-out but lamented that the Edo State Independent National Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) succeeded in disenfranchising thousands of voters through deliberate delay as accreditation and voting started at 2pm in most polling booths.
"To the amazement of all, while the votes were still being collated and counted as at 7 pm at the collation centre in Uromi, headquarters of Esan North East local government area, Governor Oshiomhole's EDSIEC went on air in Benin City, about 80 kilometres away to announce a forged and contrary result declaring the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Sam Oboh, as the winner" he said.
