Are human capital conditions in India really worse than in Bangladesh? The compilers of the World Bank's newly launched Human Capital Index (HCI) think so. And the Indian government isn't happy about it.
The HCI measures health and education using parameters including child survival, school environment, quality of learning, healthy growth and adult survival. Published for the first time last month, the HCI ranked India 115th out of 157 countries, trailing Sri Lanka at 74, Nepal at 102, Bangladesh at 106 and Myanmar at 107. India received a performance score of 0.44—substantially below the average of 0.50 for its four neighbors.
The Indian government has rejected the report, saying that it doesn't reflect current developments in health and education in the country. India has introduced policy measures it anticipates will have far-reaching human-capital benefits, including a series of educational reforms and initiatives that will impact 197 million school children, and Ayushman Bharat, the world's largest health-insurance program, which will affect care for 500 million people, including children. The new yardstick doesn't take these developments into account, the government complains.

The blue vinyl mesh tarps are a favorite of gardeners and backyard enthusiasts.
All the vinyl coated mesh tarps have heat sealed seams, web reinforced hems and brass grommets every 24 inches around the tarp. Note: The blue vinyl coated mesh tarps are custom made. The vinyl coated mesh tarps are handmade here in the United States.
Blue is a cool color. So we recommend our blue vinyl coated mesh tarp as your sun shelter. The mesh design allows some light through the cover. This tarp is also a great storage solution.
When transporting goods via truck, it is important to secure all the items so that they won't bring damage to surrounding vehicles and cause accidents to nearby pedestrians. Just like the black ones, the blue vinyl coated mesh tarps are perfect for this kind of job. Even if the truck is moving fast or there are high winds, these covers will not allow your materials or supplies to fall off as long as they're firmly secured.
The blue vinyl coated mesh tarp is not designed for full sun protection. If you need covers that fully block the sun, check out the other varieties of tarps available here. We have poly tarps, canvas tarps, vinyl tarps and more.
With the ability of the blue vinyl coated mesh tarps to allow light, water and air through, they are the most suitable covers for your lawn and garden. Are you caring for low light plants? Get these tarps to protect them from intense sunlight.
These tarps can also lessen the power of the wind. Use them as sidewalls for your outdoor canopy to maintain its steadiness especially in windy places. When used as a top cover, they can prevent glare and block ultraviolet rays.
They can withstand oil and grease so we recommend them for projects that involve oil-based substances. These tarps are also resistant to the elements. They are usable no matter what time of the year.
These tarps are strengthened by heat sealed seams and web reinforced hems. They will not tear or degrade easily.
The grommets found along each side of the tarp help you secure the cover easily. Just use tie-downs which are inserted through the rings. Ropes and cords for securing the tarp are available here. Check them out at the Tarps Accessories section.

8 Players That Clubs Re-Signed For A Higher Fee
4 October 2017 • By - Adam Bromfield
'You don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone.' A saying that is very relevant in football. Many football clubs let players leave for a small amount only to realise it was a huge mistake a few years later. So, check out 8 players that clubs re-signed for a higher fee!
No better place to start. The highest amount a club has paid to re-sign a player – £89m.
Leaving Manchester United in 2012 for around £800k (compensation fee), Paul Pogba joined Juventus where he enjoyed four successful seasons with the Italian giants and made a huge name for himself in world football.
Man United saw the opportunity to bring him back and made sure they did – signing Paul Pogba for a world record fee (at the time) in 2016. The argument of 'was he worth the money?' remains a constant debate on social media.
Home. #POGBACK
A post shared by Manchester United (@manchesterunited) on Aug 8, 2016 at 4:45pm PDT
Jermain Defoe
Sold for £6m, bought back for £15.75m.
Tottenham were struggling and Redknapp needed goals – so, who better than Jermain Defoe? The striker returned to White Hart Lane and did exactly what he does best.
It was clear the mistake Tottenham made, and it shows having Defoe re-signed for a higher fee (more than double!) only 12 months after letting him go.
Leaving Barcelona as a 16 year old for Arsenal in 2003, Cesc Fabregas returned to Barcelona in 2011 as a man.
It was one of the biggest transfer sagas that we've seen in recent years, and one which saw Barcelona fork out £35m to bring Cesc home.
Cesc Fabregas was still much loved by Arsenal fans – but this was over very soon. After not massively hitting the heights at Barcelona, three years later, Fabregas returned to the Premier League… with Chelsea.
A post shared by obvious sports (@obvioussports) on Aug 15, 2017 at 6:15am PDT
The most recent of the lot – Atletico Madrid sold Diego Costa for £32m just three years ago, and three years later he returned for £57m.
Finally! After falling out with Chelsea manager Antonio Conte in January, Costa still played a vital role in Chelsea winning the league. Their relationship didn't improve however, and Conte still wanted him gone.
After months of back and forth, both Conte and Costa got their wish, and with Atletico Madrid paying a steep amount, Diego Costa moved backed to Atletico Madrid.
A post shared by Atlético de Madrid (@atleticodemadrid) on Sep 26, 2017 at 12:14pm PDT
Peter Crouch
'Crouchy' loves making clubs pay more than they sold him for! Up step Tottenham and Portsmouth.
Tottenham sold Peter Crouch for a mere £60,000 in 2000 when they didn't deem him good enough to break into the first team. 9 years later, Harry Redknapp went in for his man and Crouch returned to Tottenham for £9m.
Peter also left Portsmouth for £5m in 2001 and returned in 2008 for £11m.
So, an overall £20m mark up for clubs to bring Peter Crouch back! A great mention in players being re-signed for a higher fee – hurting two clubs pride!
A post shared by LA STORIA DEL FOOTBALL ⚽ (@historyfootball1846) on Sep 20, 2017 at 2:19pm PDT
Mats Hummels left very early in his Bayern Munich career, with only one appearance. Hummels went on to establish himself as not only one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga, but also the world.
Unsurprisingly, this didn't go unnoticed at Bayern Munich and they realised their mistake that they signed him back for £30m. While also weakening major rivals, Borussia Dortmund, it was a no-brainer for Bayern Munich.
First Bundesliga game with Bayern after a long time was a good one!
A post shared by Mats Hummels – Bruder von JH17 (@aussenrist15) on Aug 28, 2016 at 10:59pm PDT
Nemanja Matić
Leaving Chelsea as a makeweight in the deal to sign David Luiz, Nemanja Matić was then signed back by Chelsea in 2014 for £21m.
Struggling to impress during his first spell at Chelsea, he was sold to Benfica, where he impressed massively in a defensive midfield role, which alerted Chelsea to sign him back. It turned out to be an inspired decision by Chelsea, as he went on to win two Premier League titles.
Although Chelsea suffered around a a £20m loss on Nemanja Matić, we reckon they probably don't care. Anyway, they've since made a profit after allowing the player to join Manchester United.
A post shared by Nemanja Matic (@nemanjamatic_official_31) on Aug 1, 2017 at 6:33am PDT
Nicolas Anelka
Leaving Paris Saint Germain for £500k to Arsenal in 1997, Nicolas Anelka went on to light up world football at a very young age. Anelka got a huge move to Real Madrid very early on in his career, and unfortunately never settled.
Back came PSG, where Anelka returned for £22m in 2000. Quite the journey in three years and a £21.5m mark-up by PSG, which was a hefty amount back in 2000. Making Anelka one of the biggest players re-signed for a higher fee.

The YouTube revolution, from "how to" videos to master classes
by Ian Lamont August 18, 2021
We stumbled upon an interesting article this week, about how YouTube has completely changed the way people get information. We already knew this was a trend - who hasn't watched a video showing a new recipe or how to deal with a tricky tech issue? Indeed, the IN 30 MINUTES YouTube channel has thousands of subscribers, with videos on everything from 401k accounts (see below) to Microsoft Word.
But blogger Samo Burja notes that the knowledge transfer goes far beyond learning how to fix a leaky faucet or figure out the basics retirement savings. He writes:
"Through these videos, learners can now partially replicate the master-apprentice relationship, opening up skill domains and economic niches that were previously cordoned off by personal access. These new points of access range from the specialized trades, where electricians illustrate how to use multimeters and how to assess breaker boxes, to less specialized domestic activities, where a novice can learn basic knife-handling techniques from an expert. YouTube reports that searches in the "how-to" category has grown 70% year-on-year."
The link to Burja's blog post is here. While the spread of knowledge is helpful and encouraging, it must also be noted that there is a lot of outdated information on YouTube, and potentially unsafe advice. Be wary of people promoting untested products or solutions, as well as outright scams posted to YouTube by supposed gurus.
Speaking of scams, we received a comment on our Facebook page about Google tech support. Google does NOT offer human tech support to users of its free software applications, so beware of scams lurking in search results, often preying on senior citizens who are directed to bogus 800 numbers by search engine queries.

The majority of people nowadays don't know what running a business means. They are chasing the revenue but what they don't know is that employees, tax liabilities, legal issues also make a business.
You've heard the stories about people starting their own businesses, not having a clue what they're doing and then closing the businesses because they failed. Even big companies with great potential are shutting down because they are not getting anywhere.
Why is this happening? First of all, their leaders are often lost and dragged into things they shouldn't be doing in the first place. Business owners are surrounded by the wrong people and instead of doing what they do best, leaders are busy doing everything else.
This confusion leads to lack of revenue, problems with employees, marketing that's not working or it doesn't even exist, and no system that's been set up for customer attraction and retention. All these mistakes are costly and can sink your business anytime.
As Jim Toner, entrepreneur and real estate investor once said: "Businesses aren't designed for you to wing them, businesses are designed to make you rich." In business, there's no place for running around and thinking about your next step. It's the systems that should be working for you. Whatever business owners do, they should never let the fear and panic prevail.
So who do leaders call when they don't know what to do with their business?
Jim Toner and John Mulry or the Wolf and the Irishman, as they are called, are experienced entrepreneurs and business experts who are helping business owners set up the systems and run their business smoothly. In other words, they help people become successful and get rich.
For almost 30 years now, Jim Toner has come a long way in the world of business and real estate investment. But before he became successful, Jim was working three jobs and got no money in return. He admits he entered real estate because he knew that this is where the money is. And soon, he found lots of it.
But things weren't so easy for Jim Toner which he details in his recent Medium post. The economic crash hit his business just like all the other businesses, especially in the real estate. At the time, banks called off loans and Jim was trying to navigate through the endless problems. Then he realized that what he got, in turn, was priceless. The struggle gave him experience and knowledge which he shares in his recent book.
He went from a nice guy to a more street smart businessman. It was then and there that Toner realized that he'd been a terrible businessman before! What he went through made him more experienced and ready to use that knowledge as a brand new platform for making money. Jim was turning his loss into a victory.
Jim started teaching people about what he was doing best. He discovered a business model where he charged for his knowledge. Toner was working with people individually and saw that everyone was going through the same problems as he once did. They repeated the same mistakes with management, operations, lack of marketing and sales department. Many of these business owners were sitting on a potential gold mine, but they just didn't see it.
What was Jim's next move? He could now make and save a lot of money for other people. He became the Wolf. In the world of charlatans, Jim realized that he was the real deal. But even the real deal can't do everything by himself. He managed a lot of things and he needed somebody who was his equal. So he decided to find that person.
One day, Jim was looking for a specific type of business strategist. It took him 5 minutes to find John Mulry online. He went through his systems and got excited that he's a real deal too. Toner sent an email with his requirements and John responded right away. The one thing that doesn't happen too often in the business world. They both knew what they were doing. It was fate. They had something. So they took their skills and decided to help other business owners.
John Mulry is an award-winning marketing advisor, speaker, and top-selling author. His expertise spans both online and offline direct response marketing. Just like Jim, John was never the one to accept the status quo of the recession. Instead, he studied under some of the top experts in the business world.
Mulry's mission is to help transform 1,000,000 businesses by 2030! But he knows he can't do it alone. He's training and supporting other people who can later join him on this ambitious journey and help him fulfill his mission. Alongside with the Wolf, John wrote "Send in the Wolves," the raw truth about the ugly side of the business. In the book, John and Jim share all the things that can happen to businesses.
But unlike the other charlatans, the Wolf and the Irishman know what they're talking about because they went through it all themselves. Money, failures, and madness of life, they've seen it all. And now they are ready to help others succeed in their businesses and avoid mistakes they don't even know they are making.
Both Jim and John learned that everything in life happens for a reason. People go through hell and get the education from it (if they're smart). But the thing is, you become more powerful if you team up with people who went through the same problems. Your skills complement each other, and you do more than you could ever possibly do alone.
The first thing Mulry did when he started a business was to hire a mentor. According to John, we're never alone in the market, no matter what type of business it is. John got the guidance on what he should and shouldn't do. He avoided making costly mistakes and learned from the people who had more experience than him at the time.
One of the rules of business is that you can only succeed when you are helping others. For example, John and Jim had a client who was a top scientist, brilliant in what he does but his business was a mess. When they put systems together and helped him gain his confidence back, he was able to help others again.
Failure is not always the end of a story. Failure is often a beginning of another, better story that happened to us for a specific reason. You can call it destiny, the law of the universe or something else.
This is what you need to learn about money: You will never get rich working for someone else. Nowadays, the automation is making everyone replaceable. That means that most people who think their jobs are secure are deadly wrong.
According to Jim Toner and John Mulry, people who work for others are in danger because they have no real security. Ironically, most people choose to work for someone else because they believe this will provide them with lifelong financial stability.
Having your own business is a path to freedom, but also, to security, and it's something that we all need so much. The risks are obvious. The reality is that the most people fail with their businesses because they don't understand what entering a business means in the first place.
Let's say you're a fantastic cook. You know that you are good and you want to open your own restaurant. Having a skill is only one piece of the puzzle. You need to ask yourself if you know anything about managing inventory, taxes, employees. Is there even a demand for what you want? Maybe you're good at something but no one else cares about it.
That's why everyone needs a mentor in business. Especially when you're a beginner, you can't (and shouldn't) do all of these things alone. But if you put time and effort to educate your target market on who you are and why you're the best in your area, you will succeed.
You will get the recognition you deserve and ultimately, become an expert. As Toner and Mulry explained, once you become a celebrity in your niche, one of the most annoying things in every business will disappear, and that's price objection. People will pay you a lot of money if you are an expert in your field.
When people deal with authority and experts, and if they recognize you like one, they are willing to pay any amount of money because they trust you. When it comes to running your own business, it's important to remember to follow the profit, not passion. The passion comes afterward.
Business owners are always pursuing the profit. While profits can make a lot of problems go away, leaders shouldn't be in the position of chasing the next big profit around the clock. The systems that are basically their 24-hour sales force should do this for them.
However, most businesses last about 5 years and then they fail because they don't have any systems to support them. But don't worry, it's never too late to implement all five of these systems and see how difficult it used to be to work without them.
First of all, every business needs a lead generating system. Lead generation is the process of attracting and converting strangers into someone who has indicated interest in your product. These strangers are your potential customers. Some of the examples of popular lead generators are coupons and different types of online content. But it doesn't really matter where your leads are. They could be online or offline, what matters is that you need a system that will be focused on your target audience.
Then you need a sales conversion system. You can't use the leads you have unless you convert them! Whether you're converting them over the phone with a sales team or online or face to face, this system is absolutely necessary for every industry. You should be able to routinely hear about the results you're getting from your sales system. One way to do it is to set up weekly sales meetings with your sales team. Go over wins and problems with them, and discuss best practices in nurturing and closing your leads. Make sure everyone's on the same page with you. This is a fantastic way to get the continuous feedback on how to improve the system you implemented.
Once you convert a lead, you have a customer. That sounds easy, right? But now you need a client experience system that will blow away your customers. The system should make them say: "Wow, this person really cares about me! They don't just want money. I feel highly appreciated here." This is the crucial point in the customer experience journey because this is where you gain their trust and they decide to stay with you. Always have this in mind: Consumers have a greater number of choices today than ever before. These choices are more complex and they have more channels through which to pursue them. In such an overwhelming environment, simple solutions will win the allegiance of the time-pressed consumer.

Cooler Widgets for Social Media Community
Adam T. Sutton	August 26th, 2008
A few months back, I had a chat with Josh Stinchcomb, Publisher, Wired Digital. The company encompasses Wired.com, Ars Technica, Webmonkey and reddit — all of which feature user-generated content to some degree.
Josh and his team strive to build smart ways to engage their sites' communities. I poked around after our conversation and realized he wasn't kidding. Conversation is rampant on those sites.
One way to connect users to the reddit community caught my eye. The social media site has a widget generator. Visitors select the type and number of links for their widget and the page spits out the HTML to embed it in a website, blog, profile or wherever.
When it's done, the widget will update as stories move around reddit. That's so cool! The customization is limited, but most publisher widgets I've seen don't offer customization.
And the simplicity is the key. The generator isn't going to win any aesthetic awards, but it's fast and works like a charm. The whole site seems to follow the Craigslist and Drudge Report models of utility over beauty.
The widgets drive traffic back to reddit and keep users connected when away from the site. They also have that elusive "cool" factor that gets people interested.
So, rather than a "me too!" social media tactic, the folks at Wired Digital put their own spin on the widget and came up with a better, more-customizable way to drive traffic. There's a good lesson here: Don't photocopy your inspiration, build on it.

"reject despair"
President Barack Obama speaks of "sense of loss" felt by US at Dallas memorial service for slain cops
He told the crowd it was "easier for a teenager to buy a glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book" in the US
Zoe Nauman
Updated: 13 Jul 2016, 1:41
PRESIDENT Obama joined with former President George W. Bush on Tuesday to pay his respects to the police officers who were killed in in the attacks in Dallas.
He delivered a speech which addressed the relationship between the black communities and the force, and tried to address issues which were faced by both.
Before arriving at the service, which was held at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Centre, in Dallas, he had been to visit the families of both Alton Sterling, who was shot in Baton Rouge last week, and Philando Castille, who died a few days later, after being shot when he was pulled over by a police officer in Minnesota.
He was joined at the service by his wife, Michelle, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, Vice President Joe Biden, along with ormer first lady Laura Bush and Dr. Jill Biden.

Five seats were left empty at the memorial to signify the officers who had been killed.
The President said America often "expected too little" of itself, and too much of its law enforcement.
He said: "As a society we choose to under-invest in decent schools, we allow poverty to fester, we refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs.
"We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book,' the president continued.

"And then we tell the police, you're the social worker, you're the parent, you're the teacher, you're the drug counsellor, we tell them to keep those neighbourhoods in check at all costs, and do so without causing any political blowback or inconvenience.
"Don't make the mistake that might disturb our own peace of mind and then we feign surprise when periodically the tensions boil over."

President Obama referred to the Bible in his speech saying; "Scripture tells in in our suffering there is glory because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance character and character hope.
"Sometimes the truths of these words are hard to see. Right now those words test us."
Referring to the night itself, when the men were gunned down by sniper fire from the gun of Micah Johnson, he said the men became targets because they were allowing people to do what was their right: "For a while the protest went on without incident and despite the fact that police conduct was the subject of the protest, despite the fact that there must have been signs or slogans or chants which with they profoundly disagreed.

"These men and this department did their jobs like professionals that they were.
"Then around 9 o'clock the gunfire came. Another community torn apart. More hearts broken, more questions about what caused and what might prevent another tragedy."
Speaking of the tragic events of the last week which have rocked the US he said: "First the shootings in Minnesota and Baton Rouge, the protests, then the targeting of police by the shooter here. An act not just of demented violence but of racial hatred"Credit: Getty Images

He addressed how the incidents had deepened wounds in the nation but went on: "I understand how Americans are feeling, but Dallas, I'm here to say we must reject such despair. I'm here to insist that we are not as divided as we seem. And I know this because I know America."

"But you can bet your life times that and twice its double, That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed.
"So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it, You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell. Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love.
"And maybe our children's grandchildren, And their great-great grandchildren will tell, I'll be loving you."

Q: Why are strings and springs often considered massless? Ok, I know this type of question is already asked, but in every question I have seen, there is no answer to the question that I am asking right now, like people don't particular focus on the question asked (particularly this question) and they go out of context, that is the reason for me to ask this question i.e to get a clear and valid (satisfying) answer.
So, I have often seen, that it is assumed that strings and springs are considered to be massless, but never got the reason, so as to why this assumption is applied.
For the string:
For strings I have heard that, the reason it is considered massless is because,in order to keep the tension at every point on the string the same.
For the spring:
For the spring part I have heard that,it is considered massless because, if we had to take into account the mass of the spring, then additional "wave propagation" effects in the spring would also have to be taken into account, and the analysis would be more complicated. Also another part of assuming that the spring is mass-less is that the spring force at each point on the spring will be the same. (If the wave propagation part is right then kindly elaborate it)
If what I have heard about the springs and strings is true then please let me know, that I am right, if not then please provide the correct knowledge.It would be very helpful if the answer is divided into 2 parts i.e for spring and for string,also if possible, then I would also like to know what would had happened if the masses of the springs and strings have been taken into consideration.

A: The classes of problems involving springs are different from the problems involving strings, so you are really asking two questions here.  The math involved depends on the problem you are trying to solve.  If you want to explore strings with mass, you can search the web for Catenary as one example.
If you have the software to read a Mathematica file you can check out this address to get a Mathematica notebook that solves a vibration problem with a spring with mass:
https://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/7773/
Generally ignoring the mass of a spring is a very good approximation if the other masses of a system are substantially greater than the mass of the spring.  For instance the masses of the springs supporting a car are much less than the mass of the car, and it would add unnecessary complication to take the mass of the springs into account.  Often the same is true for strings or cables.

A: Both reasons you gave are correct.
The concept of a spring is to deform linearly with tension, so it can be more easily modeled as a rod of constant section $A$, modulus of elasticity $E$, lenght $L$, density $\rho$ (if it is has mass). I consider here only uniaxial deformation.
If a small element at the position $x$ with a length $\Delta x$ is selected, the net force acting on it must be the product of its mass and acceleration:
$F_R - F_L = \rho A\Delta x a$
The force at left of the element is $F_L = \sigma(x)A$
The force at right of the element is $F_R = \sigma(x+\Delta x)A$
$A(\sigma(x+\Delta x) - \sigma(x)) = \rho A\Delta x a$
Dividing by $A\Delta x$ and entering with the definition of acceleration, where $u$ is the elastic displacement of the element:
$$\frac{\sigma(x+\Delta x) - \sigma(x)}{\Delta x} = \rho \frac{\partial^2u}{\partial t^2}$$
The left side, when $\Delta x$ goes to zero is the derivative:
$$\frac{\partial \sigma}{\partial x} = \rho \frac{\partial^2u}{\partial t^2}$$
Here it can be noted that if the rod is massless, $\rho = 0$ and the tension is constant along the rod.
As the rod is linear elastic, tension is proportional to deformation:
$$\sigma = E\epsilon = E\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}$$
Substituting in the previous expression, we got a wave equation:
$$\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} = \frac{\rho}{E} \frac{\partial^2u}{\partial t^2}$$
The difference between a string and a spring, if the problem is uniaxial, is that a string can not be compressed, and the deformation is negligible. But the same conclusions is valid for the tensile tension be constant along it, if it is massless.

A: when deriving the equations of motion for a dynamical system, ignoring the masses of springs and strings will furnish an accurate and useful approximation of the system for those cases where the excitation frequencies are lower than or equal to the primary resonances of the system. This approximation is far easier to explicitly solve for than the case where those masses need to be included.
In the vast majority of dynamic systems modeling tasks, this approximation yields a satisfactory accounting of the system, and the analysis of the system stops there.

Pak intelligence believes Bin Laden is dead: Zardari
Source: PTI
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Monday said his intelligence believes that Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden is dead, but admitted they have no proof.
"The Americans tell me they don't know and they are (better) equipped than us to trace him (bin Laden). And our own intelligence services obviously think that he does not exist any more, that he is dead," Zardari told a panel of foreign journalists during an interview at the presidency in Islamabad.
The President's remarks come as United States' intelligence and military reports believe that the elusive Al Qaeda chief is hiding in Pakistan's restive tribal region or in the mountains bordering Afghanistan.
Asked about reports that the Taliban in the northwestern Swat valley had said that they would welcome the Al Qaeda chief, Zardari said Pakistan's intelligence set-up believes that Osama bin Laden is dead.
"But there is no evidence; you cannot take that as a fact... We are between facts and fiction," Zardari said. "The question is whether he is alive or dead. There is no trace of him," he added.

Percona's XtraDB is a fork of InnoDB with a ton of extra options and enhancements. Here's a look at what it can do for your busy database.
Last week I spent a bit of time looking at The State of MySQL and mentioned some of the "outside innovation" taking place in the community. This week I'd like to focus on one of the more significant developments: XtraDB and xtrabackup, both developed by Percona.
Now you may not have heard much about Percona before. Founded in 2006 by Peter Zaitsev and Vadim Tkachenko with the goal of providing consulting for MySQL users, the company has grown in the last few years to employ some of the leading experts in MySQL and InnoDB internals. Several of the employees work on enhancing MySQL and InnoDB to meet the needs of their [paying] customers as well as the community at large. They've contributed numerous patches and ideas as well as writing on their popular MySQL Performance Blog and presenting at various conferences.
Late last year they surprised the community when they announced XtraDB as fork of InnoDB with numerous performance and reporting enhancements, not the least of which is binary compatibility with InnoDB database files. In doing so, they've made the cost of giving XtraDB a test drive very, very low.
As you may recall, MySQL 5.1 introduced a Plugin API that made it possible to install and use separately built plugins without recompiling MySQL itself. The InnoDB storage engine was the first to take advantage of this and release the InnoDB plugin. XtraDB is, quite literally, a drop-in replacement for the InnoDB plug-in.
xtrabackup is Percona's answer to the InnoDB hot backup product. It provides on-line backup capabilities without shutting down the database or incurring unnecessary locking overhead. If you end up using XtraDB in any serious capacity, xtrabackup is a must-have tool–far more efficient than using mysqldump for backups.
Best of all, both XtraDB and xtrabackup are available under the GPL, and source code is available on Launchpad. Percona provides paid support for both products and there are no licensing fees.
Let's take a few minutes to look at some of the features that distinguish XtraDB from basic InnoDB.
The hardware world has changed quite a bit since InnoDB was created. As we've begun to use servers with more and more CPU cores, numerous glass ceilings have been exposed along with assumptions that need to be re-thought. Over time, people have been discovering and fixing these problems in InnoDB. Percona has done some of that work themselves as well as incorporating ideas and code from the MySQL team at Google and Jeremy Cole of Proven Scaling.
Some of these changes in XtraDB revolve around locking and lock contention for particularly "hot" areas of the code and frequently accessed data. XtraDB contains more granular locking for access to InnoDB's buffer pool, which makes it possible for a higher number of threads to make changes at the same time. Better yet, the actual lock implementation has been made more efficient as well, causing fewer context switches and higher overall throughput. Some of this work, which initiated at Google, has since been worked into the mainline InnoDB engine by Oracle as well.
As detailed here XtraDB contains numerous fixes to provide more control over disk I/O. These are mainly useful when you have a server with heavy I/O workloads, but they may also help in other busy workloads or on more exotic hardware (Amazon EC2 running RAID across many EBS volumes, for example).
By default, InnoDB provides a single read and a single write thread for handling disk I/O. However, on disk arrays with substantial I/O capabilities (or SSDs), it's worth increasing the number of threads. The read thread fetches pages from disk and stores them in the buffer pool, while the write thread flushes dirty pages from the buffer pool to disk. The transaction log I/O is handled elsewhere. In XtraDB you can set innodb_read_io_threads and innodb_write_io_threads each to values from 1 to 64.
Simply adding I/O threads may not be the solution to an under-utilizied I/O subsystem. By default, InnoDB assumes that a single server can handle 100 I/O operations (reads or writes) per second. That makes a lot of sense if you're running InnoDB on a machine with a single commodity hard disk. But if you have many more disks or SSDs, InnoDB ends up throttling itself back far more than necessary. This hard-coded value can be adjusted by setting innodb_io_capacity to a higher value.
Speaking of SSDs and data flushing, the parameter innodb_flush_neighbor_pages can be set to either 0 or 1 to tell InnoDB if it should flush adjacent pages at the same time. This is normally done to reduce disk seeks on write, since neighboring pages are likely to be in neighboring sectors on disk as well. But SSDs don't have a seek penalty. That same may be true of SANs and other high-end storage systems.
One of the biggest issues heavy InnoDB users eventually encounter is a lack of transparency. Once you go below the basics of what's exposed in the output of SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS, InnoDB starts to feel a lot like a black box. You have a general idea of what's going on and you can develop some intuition about where bottlenecks might be, but it's largely guesswork. XtraDB provies two things to address this.
First, XtraDB has some additional engine status enabled by default. It will report on the sizes of InnoDB's internal hash tables, including the adaptive hash index, page hash, dictionary cache, and several others. By setting innodb_show_verbose_locks to 1 and innodb_show_locks_held to a numeric value, you can instruct InnoDB to include more detail about locks. It will display up to innodb_show_locks_held locked records per transaction. This can be incredibly useful in diagnosing deadlock conditions or poor concurrency.
The full list of additions to SHOW STATUS in XtraDB is here.
XtraDB also adds to the information available in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables as well. It adds an XTRADB_ENHANCEMENTS table and provides extra detail in other tables to give you more insight into the buffer pool pages, rollback segments, table statistics, and index statistics.
The documentation for the new data in INFORMATION_SCHEMA here.
Believe it or not, this only scratches the surface of the changes and enhancements available in XtraDB. There are a surprising number of tunable parameters that can help you squeeze that last 5-10% out of your busy, seemingly over-worked servers. XtraDB is still in active development, and feedback from end users and folks like Mark Callaghan and his team at Google are providing ample feedback for future development.
If you're looking for "a little bit more" from InnoDB, I'd encourage you to download XtraDB and give it a try–at least on one of your slaves to start.

Legend – SNES – 2 player playthrough
Back before I discovered King of Dragons, or Chronicles of Mystara, there was Legend. At the time I thought it was the most awesome beat 'em up ever. Two huge guys with giant barbarian weapons traipsing about the kingdom slaying….peasants…and homeless guys….? Well that last part I really didn't think about in my youth. I just though it was a pretty rad game. Unfortunately playing this game again after about 20 years or so has not held up to the game in my memory. It's a grossly underdeveloped game with tons of various staples of the brawler genre that are painfully missing, and just complete laziness on the developers part with lack of color palettes, no variety of BGM, poor hit detection, etc. At any rate, it is a pretty rare game, so for a collector, it's a must have, but it's not something I could imagine someone owning "for fun", unless they just enjoyed playing bad games, like I do.

River City Ransom 2 FINALLY!!!
By Kali's multi-armed bosom!
Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari 2 (River City Ransom 2 in US)
This game is finally coming out! Yes this information has been available for a few months now and yes, that was the only picture I could find for it. If you never heard of River City Ransom 1, that's because it was originally released on the NES in 1989, and then nothing for 15 years until a remake came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2004. I can't possibly imagine the game didn't do well. Or maybe I can, it was way ahead of it's time. The world simply wasn't ready for a game of this magnitude yet. It was a brawler that incorporated RPG elements. In 1989, brawlers had only just begun to take a serious foothold with games like Golden Axe and Final Fight and RPGs still weren't widely accepted, so the combination of the two was nearly unheard of. The Scott Pilgrim game out now on XBLA and PSN is pretty much a spiritual copy, and owes its entire existence to River City Ransom. It took them over 20 years to even attempt to duplicate the magnum opus that is River City Ransom, but here, soon, 22 years later, we are finally getting a true sequel. And when I say we, I really mean Japan. The Wii Virtual Console will see this game some time this summer, with a PC release later on. However, the rest of the world might not see this game until 2012.
In the meantime, let's take a look at a few points real quick on how River City Ransom revolutionized the brawler genre.
The stage by stage gameplay structure was exchanged for a more open world feel, which almost no game had in this era. Aside from the occasional boss fight, you were free to roam around the city at your leisure.
RPG style stats. You didn't gain levels per se, but you could get stronger/faster/tougher/etc. from eating at any of River City's fine dining establishments.
Inventory. Again a trait usually reserved exclusively for RPGs. You could carry food with you so you didn't have to run to a store to replenish your health, you could purchase a variety of footwear, and you could carry books and scrolls with you which granted special techniques and power-ups.
Password save feature. Although the password save wasn't a new idea, it had never been used in a brawler that I know of. Usually you either got all the way through the game with 3 lives and maybe a few continues, or you failed completely. There was no picking it up from where you left off.
Javelin Man. You'll just have to play to figure out what that means. But it is to this day one of my favorite features in a game ever.
Although the Kunio-Kun series, to which River City Ransom is part of, is popular in Japan, we've had a very limited reception of their titles here in the States. We did get somewhat recently, River City Soccer Hooligans on DS, which I recommend even if you don't like soccer. No! Especially if you don't like soccer. We never got the hockey one though, which makes no sense to me because America holds far more hockey fans than it does soccer fans. A couple years ago I found out they turned River City Ransom into an MMO, but much to my chagrin, it's only available in Japan. I was FURIOUS when I couldn't find a way to play it, and believe me, I tried for days. But basically you either need to live in japan to play or you're S.O.L.
River City Ransom has some of my favorite music on the NES. The soundtrack stays in constant rotation on my playlist. Year200X, a video game tribute band, does an excellent metal version of the River City Ransom boss music.
What other games combine evil rival high school girlfriend kidnappers, Mao's Chinese restaurant, Zeus' wand, enemies that actually say "Barf" when you defeat them, Merv's Burger Joint, get free smiles, and get a sauna for just $3.50? The answer is none. So River City Ransom 2 better deliver.
There is no homepage that I can find for this game yet, which further worries me about its release schedule. Believe me though, I shall remain vigilant. Oh! Also, if anyone finds a way to play the MMO, TELL ME IMMEDIATELY!!!
Feel free to drop me a line, leave some comments, like this page. And don't forget to share this link!

Between wildfires, snow storms, power outages, and heavy rainfall, the North State seen and experienced it all. Despite these challenges, today's sunshine reminds us how beautiful our region truly is. As the Sacramento River levels rise, we are also reminded how strong and powerful our great natural resources are. Thankfully, the Sundial Bridge and surrounded areas were designed to withstand seasonal changes such as flooding. The Turtle Bay Museum and Forest Camp are safe and accessible to park guests, while the Gardens will remain closed due to tree damage from the snow.
These mystery objects were on fire during February, overwhelmingly winning this month's slot for Artifact of the Month! Some folks may have guessed that these little, metal boxes were lighters, which is not too far off since they are indeed associated with making fire. However, these diverse artifacts are all various types of match safes.
Thank you to all who came out to our special reception for the opening of Turtle Bay Exploration Park's newest exhibition, Last Call: An Intoxicating History of Alcohol, held February 22.
Duck decoys to surf boards, chocolate to popcorn. How is it all connected? Explore Turtle Bay's newest exhibition, Roots of Wisdom: Native Knowledge. Shared Science, on display January 26, 2019 through May 5, 2019.
This "mystery object" received an overwhelming number of votes in our visitor poll! A mystery no more, this head rest was accessioned into the Turtle Bay museum collection in 1978 with the description, "head rest from the Turkana culture of Northwestern Kenya; used to protect hairdos while sleeping and to keep bugs from getting into hair; carried with a sash worn around the waist and is sometimes used as a stool." So, now you know!
Turtle Bay Exploration Park took part in an online regional fundraising effort to benefit and raise awareness for over 170 organizations. The 14-hour giving event raised a total of $870,075 and allowed our community to contribute to many causes.
Sparkling and vibrant, these decorative beaded "whimsies" were likely handcrafted by members of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy of the Northeastern United States and Canada sometime between the middle 19th and early 20th centuries.
Thank you all for coming out and making Oktoberfest such a successful fundraiser this past Saturday at Turtle Bay! Great beer, tasty food, live music, Oktoberfest-themed outfits, live animals, and so much more were enjoyed by all and we look forward to seeing you all here next year for Oktoberfest!
Presented as a "Mystery Object" in our recent visitor poll (We knew what it was, but our guests wanted to know too!), guests selected this set of Pomo gambling, or gaming, sticks as September's Artifact of the Month. Our guests sure love a good mystery!
We all jumped back into our cars and rushed into the Park to start our evacuation protocols. Looking back now, it is so unreal. As we were running around packing up animals, I couldn't believe how well each mammal kenneled when we asked. With our adrenaline pumping, they surely felt that something was wrong.
We are finding strength together during this time of tragedy. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the brave service men and women working tirelessly on the frontlines of the wildfires. We will overcome this tragedy together as one community.
Where some people see junk, others see potential. Local artists converge for this exhibition of recycled, upcycled, and just plain rescued art! This group-curated pop-up features work by established and emerging artists working in a wide variety of media for a limited time, now through August 3, 2018 in the East End of the Museum at Turtle Bay in Redding, CA.
The Turtle Bay Museum Collection consists of over 35,000 historical, ethnographic, and archaeological artifacts and artworks. It is amalgam of the collections of the former Redding Museum of Art and History and The Forest Museum and includes objects acquired after the museums merged into Turtle Bay. Today, Turtle Bay is not actively collecting due to lack of funding, space, and personnel.
Thanks to a generous donation at our 2018 auction, the Education & Programs Department was able to put on an additional, fourth week of summer camp named "Inventor's Workshop"! During this week of Discovery Camp, we welcomed 16 children between the ages of 7-12 to partake in a wide range of activities that your donations made possible. We were also able to offer two campers full scholarships during this week.
Friday, March 2, 2018 - Babe's Corral is officially OPEN and ready for action, thanks to the generous support from First Five Shasta and their ongoing support for this newest forest-themed playground attraction for our youngest guests. Today's ribbon cutting ceremony celebrated that partnership and both organizations look forward to having a greater impact on those served in Shasta County.
Turtle Bay Exploration Park is thrilled to announce plans to build a new state-of-the-art Animal Recovery Center (ARC) inside Wildlife Woods at Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, California, thanks to a generous $200,000 donation from Senator Maurice and Marianne Johannessen.
Part of what we do here at Turtle Bay Exploration Park is providing a safe home for animals who otherwise don't have a home. It's very exciting to grow our flock to about 43 birds total inside the Parrot Playhouse at Turtle Bay!

Nitish backs BJP's demand of Bharat Ratna for Vajpayee
Patna, Nov 18 (PTI) : Leaving aside acrimony with his former NDA ally BJP, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today backed its demand to bestow the Bharat Ratna on former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
"He deserves it. Why should not it be given to him?" Kumar, who served as railway minister in the Vajpayee cabinet, said when asked if he supported Bharat Ratna for the former prime minister.
Kumar, who is the driving force of JD(U), also made a strong case for giving the award to Rammanohar Lohia his ideological guru and Karpoori Thakur, who was chief minister of the state in 1977.
Kumar distanced himself from the statement of party leader Shivanand Tiwari questioning the award to Sachin Tendulkar.
"It is a personal opinion of Tiwari … everybody has an opinion," he said.
"I welcome the Bharat Ratna given to Sachin Tendulkar who served the country through his extraordinary contribution to the game," Kumar said.
On comments of scientist CNR Rao who also received the Bharat Ratna that politicians were 'idiots', the Chief Minister said that he was an eminent scientist.
"We should talk about his commendable work instead of discussing his comments. I don't know if he was trapped to make such comments," he said.
Kumar agreed with the views of Rao that more funds should be earmarked for research work in science and technology.

Home / Uncategorized / HYPERTENSION — can your blood pressure affect your eyes?
High blood pressure can quietly damage your body for years before symptoms develop. Healthy arteries are flexible, strong, and elastic. Their inner lining is smooth, so that blood flows easily.
The tiny blood vessels in your eyes are like long skinny balloons: they are tough to blow up. But if you keep blowing these balloons up and letting the air out again repeatedly, the balloons change. They become wrinkled, thin, and bulbous in parts. They are no longer smooth. High blood pressure changes your vessels like this, making beautiful smooth vessels into misshapen tubes with poor circulation.
In an eye exam, the super fine vessels of the retina can be evaluated when the doctor looks into the eye. This is an easy way to determine if the blood vessels in the body are healthy before any of the bad stuff happens.
In addition to visual problems, high blood pressure can cause heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, bone loss, sexual dysfunction, depression, and dementia.
How can you keep your blood pressure lower?
Be physically active- Get your heart rate up for at least 30 mins 3-4 times a week.
Maintain a healthy weight- This will come naturally, if you exercise and eat right.
Limit alcohol intake- more than 1-3 drinks at one time increases blood pressure. If alcohol is consumed constantly, hypertension becomes chronic.
Quit smoking- the thrill of smoking is the increase heart rate and release of adrenalin into the blood. Addictive smoking causes hypertension and the chemicals in cigarettes can damage the lining of the blood vessels.
Like mom says: get plenty of sleep and drink plenty of water.

A fairy-tale reimagined: Broadway's 'Anastasia' takes center stage
byCaroline McCutchen

As the Ford Center celebrates its 20th anniversary this season, Broadway's "Anastasia" delighted the audience with a dazzling performance on Monday, Nov. 14 at the Ford Center.
"Anastasia" explores a mythology that has persisted for more than 100 years: Grand Duchess Anastasia's miraculous survival. Capturing a turning point in Russia's history, the play begins in 1918 with the massacre of the final imperial dynasty, the Romanov family, by Bolshevik revolutionaries.
The production follows the journey of Anya, a young orphan who suffers from amnesia. Anya seeks to connect with her past as she sets out on a journey to discover if she is the one and only surviving member of the royal Romanov family, Anastasia.
"Fans of the original 20th Century Fox flick (who call themselves 'Fanastasias') will surely be satisfied with the offering, while those who skipped the cartoon should realize this isn't the fairy tale fluff they might have initially assumed it to be," NBC News said in a review of the Broadway production.
Broadway's fairy tale is based on the 1997 animated musical film of the same name and includes the iconic songs "Journey to the Past" and "Once Upon a December." The production also borrows elements from the 1956 live-action version starring Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner.
However, the play introduces over 20 new musical numbers to the soundtrack, making Anastasia a production of its own.
Broadway's new adaptation gives a stronger sense of strength and confidence to Anya's character to portray her as a modern woman capable of shaping her own destiny, whether she discovers that she is a peasant or a princess at the end of the tale.
The reimagined historical epic is brought to life by composer Stephen Flaherty's lively score and lyricist Lynn Aherens's impassioned songs with a Russian twist, offering a deeper connection to the cultural and historical quality. Terrence McNally's book ventures into a world that exists outside the bounds of the historical record and dives into a realm of fantasy.
"Captivating, beautifully staged, and emotionally vital. Anastasia hits the sweet spot!" the Hollywood Reporter said.
Alexander Dodge's scenic design ventures beyond the boundaries of realism and seeks to dramatize natural elements of the production in order to create nuances across the play's scenes.
A stark contrast is presented between the two acts; while the landscape in Russia is flashed with a hue of scarlet red, the central characters' time in Paris is captivated by bright cherry blossoms and imposing windows.
"Broadway's Anastasia was such a magical evening! The ball gowns and realistic snow made the set look amazing," Rebekah Ball, a sophomore psychology major at the University of Mississippi, said.
Accompanied by a live orchestra, the musical transported the audience to a euphoric realm of exploration and self-discovery.
"Anastasia" has been nominated for numerous prestigious awards, including two Tony Awards and nine Drama Desk Awards, making it a successful hit in its tour across the United States.
"Anastasia is the real thing! Fantastic, intelligent, well-crafted, and exhilarating, Anastasia deserves a coronation!" The Wall Street Journal said.
Broadway's "Anastasia" proves to be a production filled with romance, adventure, dynamic characters and excitement for all ages.

Obama Betrays Freedom Fighters in Ukraine
The Unvetted, the Compromised, and the Blackmailed
Media Fret Over the Dangerous World They Helped Create
by Cliff Kincaid on September 9, 2014
How did the Islamic State go from being a jayvee team to an imminent threat to America in just a short time? The headline in last Friday's Washington Times said it all: "Islamic State using leaked Snowden info to evade U.S. intelligence." Rowan Scarborough points the finger at former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, now living in Russia under the protection of Vladimir Putin's secret police.
Scarborough says Snowden's "top-secret disclosures" are the key to making the Islamic State killers "harder to find because they know how to avoid detection."
But while the source of the story was identified as NSA's former deputy director Chris Inglis, we also have a major study showing how Snowden has helped the Islamists. And the story was broken by National Public Radio!
"Just months after the Snowden documents were released, al-Qaida dramatically changed the way its operatives interacted online," noted NPR reporter Dina Temple-Raston.
She cited a study done by the firm Recorded Future, which said that "Following the June 2013 Edward Snowden leaks we observe an increased pace of innovation, specifically new competing jihadist platforms and three major new encryption tools from three (3) different organizations—GIMF, Al-Fajr Technical Committee, and ISIS—within a three to five-month time frame of the leaks."
ISIS is the Islamic State.
Snowden's mouthpiece, Glenn Greenwald, was quick to accuse NPR of ignoring the firm's connections to the U.S. intelligence community. For Greenwald, it is shameful to want to help the U.S. defend its citizens against foreign threats.
But Greenwald has his own controversial connections to international communists and Islamists, as we have been reporting for months.
Greenwald has not seemed bothered in the least by Snowden's collaboration with the FSB, the successor to the old Soviet KGB.
Yet, while Attorney General Eric Holder will open a probe of the Ferguson police over how they handle thugs and rioters, he has permitted Snowden's collaborator Greenwald to return to the U.S. to sell his book, No Place to Hide, and accept various journalism prizes.
We called them Pulitzer Prizes for espionage.
Politico recently asked, "Has Greenwald, Inc. Peaked?" That's a strange question, considering that Politico has promoted him relentlessly.
The immediate question is whether Holder will get serious about holding Greenwald accountable for facilitating Snowden's espionage activities on behalf of Russia and the Islamic State. Indeed, the evidence already shows that Snowden's disclosures helped Russia invade Ukraine. Now we see the emergence of the Islamic State, directly following Snowden's disclosures helping terrorist groups.
For Congress, which Obama wants to approve a military campaign against the Islamic State, the question is why this has suddenly become a big issue now, at a time when Russia is moving militarily through Ukraine. And why is Russia not being held accountable for its naked aggression against Ukraine and continued coddling of the traitor Snowden? Obama rules out defensive heavy weapons for Ukraine, instead sending bottled water and meals ready to eat.
Meanwhile, as Vladimir Putin threatens nuclear war, some of our more responsible media outlets scratch their heads over the lack of a coherent response to Russian aggression and threats.
But if the media are having second thoughts about playing into Greenwald's hands, as Politico implied, then it is time to investigate his billionaire financial backer, the French-born Iranian American entrepreneur and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar.
Greenwald now gripes that the American people have been worked into a frenzy by the media over military retaliation against the Islamic State.
The real issue is whether Obama's military campaign against the Islamic State will become another no-win war, in the same way that Obama and Holder have failed to deal with the anti-American espionage activities of Snowden and Greenwald, not to mention former Moscow TV host and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. No espionage indictment has ever been filed against Assange, to our knowledge. His biggest fear seems to be the sex crimes charges against him in Sweden.
The Obama/Holder administration could have arrested Greenwald for violating the espionage act. It chose not to act against him.
His supporters say Greenwald is just being a journalist. But he was never a journalist by training. He was a lawyer who started a gay pornography business and then wrote about legalizing drugs for the Cato Institute back in 2009.
Now considered a leftist, one can argue that he began his career as a libertarian.
Whatever the state of his current ideology, he has made it his mission to undermine U.S. national security by cooperating with America's adversaries and enemies. This isn't journalism. It is espionage masquerading as journalism.
This may finally be starting to dawn on the media. As Politico's Michael Hersh put it, "…the international environment has changed dramatically for the worse since the first Snowden revelations. The horrifying rise of what may be al Qaeda's even more barbaric successor, the Islamic State, along with new threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin and others, has reoriented discussion back toward the perils that the NSA programs were intended to thwart in the first place."
The obvious flaw in this story is the failure to connect the dots—from Snowden's disclosures to the foreign threats and problems being discussed.
Do our media want to pretend that all of this is just an accident?
Are journalists really this dumb? Or are they just trying to pretend that this kind of journalism has "peaked," as they try to desperately protect themselves from the inevitable charges that will result if the Islamic State terrorists reach American soil and start blowing our fellow Americans to bits?
The record is clear: our media made Snowden and his handler Greenwald into journalistic heroes. They gave Greenwald honors and awards. They made this dangerous world more dangerous.

Qatar 2022 CEO Nasser Al Khater tells England boss Gareth Southgate: 'Pick your words more carefully' | Football News
Nasser Al Khater, Qatar 2022 CEO, has hit back at Gareth Southgate after the England manager called into question the treatment of migrant workers in the Gulf State and claimed it was a "great shame" some England fans would not travel to this year's World Cup – telling him to "pick his words carefully".
Accusations concerning the treatment of migrant workers and a poor record of human rights have plagued Qatar since it was controversially awarded the World Cup finals back in 2010.
Southgate recently said he was now "clear" on the issues of hosting the World Cup in the region and that he plans to hold talks with his squad about these issues.
However, in an interview with Sky Sports News Chief Reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Al Khater has responded by warning the England boss to choose his words carefully when talking about such important issues.
Gareth Southgate has questioned what England would achieve by boycotting this year's World Cup due to human rights issues in Qatar
"My question would be, who from the England squad has come to Qatar? My question to the coach is, has he been to Qatar? Is he basing his opinions and his public statements on what he has read?" he said, although it is our understanding Southgate has been to Qatar before.
"Because it is kind of an issue if you're basing your opinions and you are very vocal about that based on things you have read. Somebody with a lot of influence, such as Southgate, somebody with a big audience that listens to what he says, ought to pick his words very carefully.

Nasser Al Khater, Qatar 2022 CEO
"And I think that before making statements like that, when it comes to the workers, he needs to come here and speak to workers and understand what workers get out of being here.
"There are isolated cases, those are the cases that make it to the media, however, I can assure him that if he comes here and speaks to the majority of the workers, they will tell you how they put their children through university, they will tell you how they've built their houses for them and their families.
"And these are the stories that nobody hears, so I look forward to welcoming him here, I look forward to meeting him at the draw and he can listen to my opinion, he does not have to believe it, but at least he needs to go that far to understand different opinions and different cultures.
"No country is perfect, let's get that right and I do not think anybody can claim that, so if somebody is coming and claiming they are a perfect country, they need to really take a look at themselves."
FIFA President Gianni Infantino admits that although initially he was a critic of the World Cup going to the Middle East, FIFA can have a role in continuing to encourage change to Human Rights in Qatar.
Southgate also suggested some of England's LGBTQ+ supporters would not travel to Qatar for the tournament given that in the Gulf State, male homosexuality is punishable by a prison sentence, same-sex marriages are not recognised by the government and women's rights are much more restricted than in other parts of the world.
But Al Khater responded by reassuring all fans they would be safe in Qatar as long as they respected the region's norms and cultures.
"First of all, people need to understand Qatar is the safest country in the Middle East, it is the second safest country in the world, people need to understand what that safety means and why it is the safest country in the Middle East and why it is one of the safest countries in the world," he said.
"There is a lot of meaning in that, and I can assure fans that the reason they won't feel safe here is because of the lack of understanding and the lack of understanding of tolerance.
"So again, people are basing their opinions and fears on things they do not understand and that is usually what causes apprehension with human beings, a lack of understanding.
Sky Sports News' Craig Slater examines the state-of-the-art facilities in Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup, and the questions over human rights in the country
"People are going to feel safe here, people are going to be very comfortable, what I can say to fans is, we are a modest country, we have our culture, we have our norms, what we ask of them is to respect it. What that means is, whether you are a gay couple, whether you are a heterosexual couple, we have the same norms, we look at it the same way.
"So, all we ask is for people to be respectful, like we are respectful when we travel around the world, and basically just to observe these cultural differences. Basically what it means is public displays of affection is frowned upon, that is simply it."
Southgate will be travelling to Qatar for Friday's World Cup draw, with Al Khater offering to meet with the England manager to discuss the issues.
"If he [Gareth Southgate] is watching this interview, I extend him my deepest respect, I respect him as a coach, I respect him as a human being, like I said, I don't have any issues with people's opinions and obviously, when somebody has a different opinion you give them your side of the story," he added.
"We can agree to disagree, but that is fine."

Arsenal will face City at the Etihad Stadium tonight, with Guardiola's former assistant back on his old North West stomping ground in the FA Cup fourth round.
The Gunners head north leading rivals City by five points with a game in hand atop the Premier League, but acutely aware of the challenging taking on the frustrated Guardiola and company.
Arteta left Guardiola's City setup in December 2019 to take the Arsenal helm, transforming the Gunners in remarkable fashion since.
"I am pretty sure if I would have left here before, he would be here [at City] and he would be the best, absolutely," said Guardiola, of Arteta.
"But I extended my contract, I am sorry, and he didn't wait, so it could not happen. But definitely it could have."
Arteta joined Manchester City's coaching ranks on retiring as a player in 2016, learning his craft under master tactician and serial winner Guardiola.
City's former Barcelona boss revealed how Arteta would never celebrate goals against the Gunners, the team he represented more than 100 times between 2011 and 2016.
"He loves the club; I remember when we were together here and we scored goals, he jumped a lot and celebrated – except with one team," said Guardiola.
"One team, every time we score a goal, I jump, look back and he was sitting there. It was Arsenal."


It's funny. When I first saw the announcement for the Sous Vide Supreme Demi, I really wasn't impressed with the size reduction. Twelve percent doesn't sound like a lot, and as an NYC apartment dweller, I can tell you that countertop and storage space are the most valuable commodity in my kitchen.
The third box is an overlay of the SousVide Supreme Demi over the original. Maybe I just haven't seen the original in awhile, but this one seems significantly smaller. My woman had a similar reaction to seeing the Demi. Except her reaction was followed by the slight sadness that comes from knowing that the kitchen is going to be in the constant state of disrepair that is inevitable when a new toy arrives.
Also, if any readers have questions they want answered about the Sous Vide Supreme Demi, let me know.
The main thing most people probably want to know is how it stacks up against the original SousVide Supreme. On paper 80% the volume of the original for 66% of the price is fairly reasonable, though the company seems to indicate the usable capacity is lower with typical sous vide portion sizes.
It's taken me days of searching to figure out the differences beyond this. Obviously the original unit is in stainless steel on the outside vs. some sort of stove enamel for the Demi. The cooking container itself is stainless in the original, but non-stick aluminum in the Demi. I wonder if this has any effect on heat stability?
The other major difference I see is that the Demi appears to have a very basic "grill" to separate food instead of the nice rack in the original model. The rack and handle are listed as two separate optional accessories in the manual. This was very difficult to figure out, because the product photos show handles protruding from the Demi and there is no mention of a different rack system. Even the product video on Youtube shows the proper rack in the animated demonstrations, but the "grill" in the actual video portion. Does the omission of the rack have any effect when cooking multiple items? Both models only circulate heat by convection, so food item spacing is certainly important.
We sous vide geeks always looking for a bigger bath. Demi is going backward.
Any recommendation for a bigger bath (big enough for a whole turkey)without breaking the bank?
As mentioned in my Ask Pablo post, I think the FMM/SVM combo is a good value for larger baths.
1) What's the temperature stability during cooking?
2) What's the overshoot/undershoot/settling time when you add food?
YouTube had a series of videos on how to cook a turkey sous vide. The presenter cut it up and cooked the pieces separately. You would have trouble with the body cavity if you try to cook the whole thing. Uncooked stuffing can be dangerous.
