Young Theophilus becomes Emperor at a rare moment of internal peace. We look at his domestic policies across his 13 year reign and touch on his non-Anatolian foreign policy.
Many thanks for the link, Bob. I wrote that post in response to Eugen Weber's long-ago brief overview of the Byzantines, and have enjoyed listening to a dozen in-depth episodes (so far) about them here.
With Theophilus, the story really begins to get good (not that it wasn't before). Next comes the Sack of Amorium (spoiler, I know), then the coming of the Macedonian Dynasty. Can't wait, Robin!
Great episode as usual really intriguing emperor. Starts diving into the period that defined Byzantine golden age.
Robin, loved the show as usual. I was sorry that it skipped over the story of Saint Kassia at Theophilus's bridal show. It would have been a good opportunity to introduce a fascinating Byzantine woman writer.
Maybe Kassia would be a good subject of her own episode.
Robin, I listened with interest about the beacon system, which sounds much like Indian smoke signals from old west lore. I'm not sure how accurate the supplied map on your website is as it shows eight beacon sites. It's about 900 km (550 mi) from Adana to Istanbul (er…Constantinople) as the crow flies. Even placed on higher peaks, could the fire/smoke be reliably seen from one post to the next at give or take 100 km (62 mi)?
There is a great deal to wonder about with this system. I suspect it never worked quite how we might imagine. And certainly its possible that there were far more potential beacon stations than are reported. My suspicion would be that the system never really worked in a solid relay the way LoftheR depicted. Rarely would the Emperors have needed to know so quickly about a raid. They almost never sprinted out to try and meet them. The signals would have been far more useful for local defence. To alert local Theme troops to start herding animals into forts.


Merits of Acquiring a Medical Marijuana Card.
Marijuana is a medicinal plant and has health benefits to the body of human beings. Its production is, however, faced with a lot of challenges due to some restrictions from the federal laws. Medicinal value of the marijuana plant has led to its recommendation by medical practitioners. Some of the benefits of marijuana is that they are used to ease pain during chemotherapy for cancer patients.
Due to the federal laws, access of the medical marijuana can be hard in most parts of the world. Possession of the medical marijuana card helps patients with marijuana recommendations to access the drugs. Medical marijuana is sold in licensed stores where people can only get them only when they have a certified card for marijuana use.
their legibility to get a medical marijuana card. Medical use of the marijuana card has to be approved through the vetting process to ensure that every card holder uses it for medical purposes.
Medication of medical marijuana can be accessed through the help of the medical marijuana card anywhere in the world as long as the card is legible. Medical marijuana cards therefore help the users to maintain their medication regardless of the place they are as long as they have the card.
Patients are allowed to renew their medical marijuana cards to ensure that the medication is constantly received without hindrance. Medical marijuana cards excludes users from medical taxation that most patients are subjected to when they seek medical attention. Anyone who is legibly adult in a given state can be given the medical marijuana as long as there proof of their adulthood. Local marijuana cards also gives some people the chance to plant the marijuana plant as long as there is permit to do so. The use of such plants is however restricted to medical use only and can be monitored by the law.


If you were asked to identify a popular sports tournament by the engagement stats below, what would your guess be?
If you are already thinking of any professional sports tournament, then well… you are mistaken! As crazy as it may sound to a non-American reader, the right answer is the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, a US College sport better known as March Madness.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – APRIL 08: The Virginia Cavaliers celebrate their teams 85-77 win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders to win the the 2019 NCAA men's Final Four National Championship game at U.S. Bank Stadium on April 08, 2019 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
For those who are not familiar with it, March Madness is a single-elimination tournament, which currently features 68 college basketball teams battling it out for the national championship.
Like all college tournaments, March Madness is considered an "amateur" sports competition, meaning that players involved are not paid as otherwise they would lose their amateur status.
The 2019 edition of March Madness ended just last weekend with the University of Virginia defeating Texas Tech University 85-77 to claim its first championship.
An average 19.63 million tuned in to watch the championship game live on television, whilst 72,062 people filled up the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to eyewitness the event – more than last year's Champions League Final!
But how can a college tournament be so popular in a country that also boasts some of the best professional leagues in the world such as the NBA, NFL and MLB?
Firstly, despite still being young and amateur, some of these college players are destined to become the next big names in sports. Sticking with basketball as an example, NBA stars Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook and James Harden (among many many others) come from college basketball and all had their March Madness experiences before starting their professional careers.
It is also worth noticing that the NBA, NFL and MLB are all professional leagues with franchises that are privately owned for profit. Franchises can therefore move from one city to another should this mean making more money.
On the contrary, local colleges have been in their cities for generations and are strongly tied with their local communities, which means that they are more representative of certain areas and have the most passionate and loyal fans.
Furthermore, colleges have often been around for longer compared with professional leagues, which is another reason why loyalty is deeper and rivalries more intense.
It is probably for these reasons that basketball teams of Universities such as Kentucky or Syracuse managed to register an average attendance of over 21,000 people throughout the 2017-18 regular season. For comparison, this was more than some professional Premier League teams' end of season averages, including Burnley, Swansea City, Watford and Bournemouth, in the same timeframe.
Given their popularity, it is quite easy to see why brands are willing to invest their money and resources in college sports in the US. In the 2016-17 season for example, sponsorship spending on college athletics in the US reached $1.18 billion and was expected to total $1.24 billion in the following season.
Brands' appetite for college sports is not limited to sponsorship only though. According to Kantar Media, which specialises in media intelligence, ad spending on March Madness has reached a staggering $1.3 billion in 2019, a close second to the NFL with $1.6 billion. In addition, a 30-second spot during the NCAA post-season championship cost $1.5 million in 2015.
Considering all of the above, it would be fair to refer to college athletics in the US as "professional" amateur sports, with brands willing to spend big money on them and with a loyal and passionate following cheering on the next generation of sports superstars.

Q: Is there a way to request multiple distinct resources in parallel using URLSession.shared.dataTask I found this piece of code here on how to download images simultaneously without any breakages,
    func loadImageRobsAnswer(with urlString: String?) {
    // cancel prior task, if any

    weak var oldTask = currentTask
    currentTask = nil
    oldTask?.cancel()

    // reset imageview's image

    self.image = nil

    // allow supplying of `nil` to remove old image and then return immediately

    guard let urlString = urlString else { return }

    // check cache

    if let cachedImage = DataCache.shared.object(forKey: urlString) {

        self.transition(toImage: cachedImage as? UIImage)
        //self.image = cachedImage
        return
    }

    // download

    let url = URL(string: urlString)!
    currentURL = url

    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { [weak self] data, response, error in
        self?.currentTask = nil

        if let error = error {

            if (error as NSError).domain == NSURLErrorDomain && (error as NSError).code == NSURLErrorCancelled {
                return
            }

            print(error)
            return
        }

        guard let data = data, let downloadedImage = UIImage(data: data) else {
            print("unable to extract image")
            return
        }

        DataCache.shared.saveObject(object: downloadedImage, forKey: urlString)

        if url == self?.currentURL {

            DispatchQueue.main.async {

                self?.transition(toImage: downloadedImage)

            }
        }
    }

    // save and start new task

    currentTask = task
    task.resume()
}

However this code is used in a UIImageView extension,
    public extension UIImageView {
  private static var taskKey = 0
  private static var urlKey = 0

  private var currentTask: URLSessionTask? {
    get { return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &UIImageView.taskKey) as? URLSessionTask }
    set { objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &UIImageView.taskKey, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC) }
}

private var currentURL: URL? {
    get { return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &UIImageView.urlKey) as? URL }
    set { objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &UIImageView.urlKey, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC) }
}}}

This is how i have tried to make this code dynamic so it wont be limited to only an UIImageView but can be used  to download multiple resources.
class DataRequest {
private static var taskKey = 0
private static var urlKey = 0
static let shared = DataRequest()
    typealias ImageDataCompletion = (_ image: UIImage?, _ error: Error? ) -> Void

private var currentTask: URLSessionTask? {
    get { return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &DataRequest.taskKey) as? URLSessionTask }
    set { objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &DataRequest.taskKey, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC) }
}

private var currentURL: URL? {
    get { return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &DataRequest.urlKey) as? URL }
    set { objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &DataRequest.urlKey, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC) }
}

 func downloadImage(with urlString: String?, completion: @escaping ImageDataCompletion) {

    weak var oldTask = currentTask
    currentTask = nil
    oldTask?.cancel()

    guard let urlString = urlString else { return }

    if let cachedImage = DataCache.shared.object(forKey: urlString) {
         DispatchQueue.main.async {
        completion(cachedImage as? UIImage ,nil)
        }
       // self.transition(toImage: cachedImage as? UIImage)
        //self.image = cachedImage
        return
    }

    // download

    let url = URL(string: urlString)!
    currentURL = url

    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { [weak self] data, response, error in
        self?.currentTask = nil

        if let error = error {

            if (error as NSError).domain == NSURLErrorDomain && (error as NSError).code == NSURLErrorCancelled {
                return
            }

             completion(nil,nil)
            return
        }

        guard let data = data, let downloadedImage = UIImage(data: data) else {
            print("unable to extract image")
            return
        }

        DataCache.shared.saveObject(object: downloadedImage, forKey: urlString)

        if url == self?.currentURL {

            DispatchQueue.main.async {

                 completion(downloadedImage ,nil)

            }
        }
    }

    // save and start new task

    currentTask = task
    task.resume()
}

So that i can now use it in an UIImageview extension like this
    extension UIImageView {
       func setImage(url: String?) {

    self.image = nil
    DataRequest.shared.downloadImage(with: url) { (image, error) in
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.image = image

        }
    }

}
    }

Concluding using my approach on a UICollectionView is displaying the wrong images into a cell and duplicating ,How do i prevent this?

A: You ask:

Is there a way to request multiple distinct resources in parallel using URLSession.shared.dataTask

By default, it does perform requests in parallel.
Let's step back for a second: In your prior question, you were asking how to implement a Kingfisher-like UIImageView extension. In my answer, I mentioned using objc_getAssociatedObject and objc_setAssociatedObject to achieve that. But in your question here, you've taken that associated object logic and put it in your DataRequest object.
Your thought process, to pull the asynchronous image retrieval logic out of the UIImageView is a good idea: You may want to request images for buttons. You might a general "fetch image asynchronously" routine, completely separate from any UIKit objects. So abstracting the network layer code out of the extension is an excellent idea.
But the whole idea behind asynchronous image retrieval UIImageView/UIButton extensions is that we want a UIKit control where not only can it perform asynchronous requests, but that if the cell with the control is reused, that it will cancel the prior asynchronous request (if any) before starting the next one. That way, if we scroll quickly down to images 80 through 99, the requests for cells 0 through 79 will be canceled, and the visible images won't get backlogged behind all these old image requests.
But to achieve that, that means that the control needs some way to keep track of the prior request for that reused cell somehow. And because we can't add stored properties in a UIImageView extension, that's why we use the objc_getAssociatedObject and objc_setAssociatedObject pattern. But that has to be in the image view.
Unfortunately, in your code above, the associated object is in your DataRequest object. First, as I've tried to outline, the whole idea is that the image view must keep track of the prior request for that control. Putting this "keep track of the prior request" inside the DataRequest object defeats that purpose. Second, it's worth noting that you don't need associated objects in your own types, like DataRequest. You'd just have a stored property. You only need to go through this associated object silliness when extending another type, such as UIImageView.
Below, is a quick example that I whipped together showing a UIImageView extension for asynchronous image retrieval. Note, this doesn't have the abstraction of the network code out of the extension, but do note that the associated object logic to keep track of the prior request must remain with the extension.
private var taskKey: Void?

extension UIImageView {
    private static let imageProcessingQueue = DispatchQueue(label: Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier! + ".imageprocessing", attributes: .concurrent)

    private var savedTask: URLSessionTask? {
        get { return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &taskKey) as? URLSessionTask }
        set { objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &taskKey, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN) }
    }

    /// Set image asynchronously.
    ///
    /// - Parameters:
    ///   - url: `URL` for image resource.
    ///   - placeholder: `UIImage` of placeholder image. If not supplied, `image` will be set to `nil` while request is underway.
    ///   - shouldResize: Whether the image should be scaled to the size of the image view. Defaults to `true`.

    func setImage(_ url: URL, placeholder: UIImage? = nil, shouldResize: Bool = true) {
        savedTask?.cancel()
        savedTask = nil

        image = placeholder
        if let image = ImageCache.shared[url] {
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                UIView.transition(with: self, duration: 0.1, options: .transitionCrossDissolve, animations: {
                    self.image = image
                }, completion: nil)
            }
            return
        }

        var task: URLSessionTask!
        let size = bounds.size * UIScreen.main.scale
        task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { [weak self] data, response, error in
            guard
                error == nil,
                let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse,

        return CGRect(origin: lhs.origin * rhs, size: lhs.size * rhs)

That having been said, we really should constrain our concurrent requests to something reasonable (4-6 at a time) so that they don't try to start until the prior requests are done (or are canceled) to avoid timeouts. The typical solution is wrapping the requests with asynchronous Operation subclasses, add them to an operation queue, and constrain the maxConcurrentOperationCount to whatever value you choose.

Tennessee Newest Automotive HQ: Why Mitsubishi Motors Moved to Franklin
Over the years, Tennessee's business-friendly climate has attracted countless world-class companies.
Two decades ago, Nissan North America relocated its corporate offices from California and put down roots in Middle Tennessee. Nissan has since blossomed into one of the region's largest private employees and an active corporate partner throughout the state. Now, Nissan's sister company, Mitsubishi Motors North America, is following suit – joining a growing roster of international businesses that call Tennessee home.
Last month, Mitsubishi Motors announced plans to invest $18.25 million and relocate its headquarters to Franklin, Tenn. The move from California will mean a boost of 200 high quality office jobs in Williamson County.
We caught up with Fred Diaz, the president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors North America, to talk about the company's decision to move to Franklin and what's in store for Mitsubishi in Tennessee.
How many states did Tennessee compete with for this project, and how long did the process take?
FD: We were initially looking at Arizona, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. The early stages of the investigation began about a year ago, but the process really started to move along as we began to narrow our choices. Ultimately, our choice was between Dallas, Texas, and Franklin, Tennessee, and, as you know now, Franklin, Tennessee, won out.
How does this move fit in with broader company initiatives and strategy?
FD: The move is part of an ongoing plan to reinvent every aspect of Mitsubishi Motors in the U.S., from corporate leadership to dealer partners to every touchpoint in a customer's relationship. It will sharpen the company's focus on future growth and innovation.
What factors stood out that led to the decision to select Tennessee?
FD: We ultimately chose Tennessee as our new home because it allows us to focus our efforts on our company-wide reinvention and take advantage of the area's vibrant technology skillset, all while realizing cost savings through Tennessee's business-friendly work environment.
How does Mitsubishi plan to get involved in the Franklin and Nashville community?
FD: We're in the process of building a corporate social responsibility program where we can do the most good for our new neighborhood, as well as allow our employee team to get involved in making the community stronger too. It's too early to say what we'll be doing, but we want to be a key member of the Franklin, Nashville and Middle Tennessee family.

JACK Saunders had made it through to the Britain's Got Talent live shows.
Britain's Got Talent bosses have been left in shock after one of this year's contestants died by suicide.
Jack Saunders, 25, took his own life just weeks before his audition for the hit ITV talent show is due to air.
Part of dance troupe Green Force Five, Jack is believed to have made it through to this year's live semi-finals.
Producers are now in talks with Jack's family and the group about whether or not they want Jack's audition to air and to progress in the competition, according to the Mirror.
Jack's mum, Sandra, has spoken out on her son's death, telling the publication: "We don't know why he did it, he didn't leave a note. He did not have depression.


When I was 20 years old, I was a computer science major at Columbia University and I needed a summer job. It was 1986 and I was barely aware of a place called Silicon Valley. In those days there was no "startup culture or entrepreneurship movement". Most people were only recently becoming aware that computers existed and almost nobody knew where they came from. The startups themselves were quite different than today's breed. Most of the important startups were computer companies like Sun Microsystems, Apollo Computer, Cydrome, Compaq and Silicon Graphics. In 1986, there was no outsourced manufacturing and China was largely irrelevant to the technology industry. All the companies in those days had their own manufacturing—often in Silicon Valley—and were very large in terms of employees compared to today. Having more than 100 employees prior to shipping a product was not unusual.
Although there were important exceptions, very few 20-year-olds started companies in those days. I was not the exception—I just wanted a job. I wanted a job, but I knew absolutely nobody in technology or in Silicon Valley and there were no technology startups in New York. I had no idea how to get a job and then I got a break…….

Under the Microscope: What I'm keeping an eye on this week Oystir, the Army Rangers, and Amazon
by Megan Sperry
Oystir
The release of Oystir is something I find super exciting. It is a powerful search tool for matching your skills and expertise with jobs at big and small companies across sectors. I think it is awesome for PhDs in the sciences and engineering because we come away from grad school with a hodgepodge of (potentially, hopefully) desirable skills. Even if you are still in grad school, you should check it out and make a profile. You can even see what skills you need to work on to land your favorite jobs.
Ranger School
The first class of women are set to graduate from Army Ranger School this month-- "the Army's premier combat leadership course, teaching Ranger students how to overcome fatigue, hunger, and stress to lead Soldiers during small unit combat operations." Despite this significant achievement, it is unclear how the Army will handle the incorporation of women into more direct combat roles, such as the prestigious 75th Ranger Regiment, the Army's premier light-infantry unit. The Army has until January 1, 2016 to make final decisions about these changes. Stay tuned...
The NY Times brought the world a startling perspective on Amazon this week, highlighting the cut-throat and brutal techniques the company uses to drive productivity and creativity in its employees. While some former employees remember people consistently crying at their desks and call it a place, "Where overachievers go to feel bad about themselves," others described their love-hate relationship with the company. "A lot of people who work there feel this tension: It's the greatest place I hate to work." Is their another side to this story? Maybe. But an interesting window into a mysterious company nonetheless.
Under the Microscope: What I'm keeping an eye on this week #ILookLikeAnEngineer and the GOP Debate
#ILookLikeAnEngineer
Between the #DistractinglySexy campaign from June and the newest #ILookLikeAnEngineer movement, this summer has been full of girl power on social media and I love it. Clearly, significant change does not happen over a single summer and certainly not through a single hashtag campaign. However, I feel that communities are being built through women sharing their work and passions on Twitter. Some may call it slacktivism, but I think it a step forward towards bigger changes. More, please!
From: BBC
I don't often watch Fox News, so I didn't know much about Megyn Kelly until Thursday night's GOP debate, where Kelly asked some sharp (and excellent) questions of the Republican presidential candidates. When you begin to cause Donald Trump noticeable anxiety, you know you are asking the right questions. Trump later promoted tweets that called Kelly a bimbo and then stated that, "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." Future US president material? I don't think so. Next!
Welter is the NFL's first female coach, working with the Arizona Cardinals for training camp and preseason.
Mindy Kaling's newest book will hit shelves (and tablets!) in September. Excerpts were released this week from an essay she writes about gaining confidence in Hollywood. "People talk about confidence without ever bringing up hard work. That's a mistake," she writes. "I know I sound like some dour older spinster chambermaid on Downton Abbey who has never felt a man's touch and whose heart has turned to stone, but I don't understand how you could have self-confidence if you don't do the work."
Apple Research Kit
With new and enhanced features being added to AppleKit in the upcoming release this November, Apple is marketing the ability to, "Take research out of the lab and into the real world." Dr. Eduardo Sanchez of the American Heart Association stated, in support of AppleKit, that, "Numbers are everything. The more people who contribute their data, the bigger the numbers, the truer the representation of a population, and the more powerful the results. A research platform that allows large amounts of data to be collected and shared — that can only be a positive thing for medical research." I'm excited to see what comes out of these open-source programs and research collaborations.

SCOHSG wins GOLD
Lord Brougham and Vaux, President of Safety Groups UK and one of the UK's acclaimed safety peers, presented a Gold award to representatives from SCOHSG at an award luncheon held in the House of Lords terrace room. He commended South Cumbria Occupational Health and Safety Group for its commitment to helping member companies develop practical health and safety policies as well as keeping up-to-date with regulatory requirements and promoting a positive workplace health and safety culture.
Lord Brougham, centre making the presentation to James Woolgrove.
Others from left Carol Stearne (SCOHSG), Norman Stevenson (Chairman, SGUK), Lord Cullen and Geoff Price, James Riddick, Val Kennedy and
Jim Tongue (all SCOHSG committee representatives).
James Woolgrove, SCOHSG Chairman said: "…With two gold and three silver awards for SCOHSG's work during the last five years, the group – which includes company members such as BAE Systems Submarines, James Cropper, Kendal College and Morecambe Bay University Hospitals Trust as well as 35 other companies – was delighted, but they were determined not to become complacent…"
James explained that the awards were organised by Safety Groups UK, and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) and that they were sponsored by BT and idverde this year. He said that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) also support this initiative because these awards are a top-level recognition of the important role of safety groups in helping to raise awareness of workplace health and safety risks and developing practical ways of eliminating those risks.
James said: "…We were particularly commended for our work in South Lakeland schools and in colleges specialising in training for rural industries. We believe that preparing the next generation to work safely is vital…"
Val Kennedy, Programme Secretary, said: "…Our group has been running for over 60 years. During that time the workplace has changed beyond recognition but getting employees and managers to understand workplace risks and develop systems to eliminate them is still the key factor in creating a healthy and safe work environment. We organise a programme of monthly meetings where member companies can send representatives to hear 'expert' safety practitioners speak on a range of 'hot' workplace health and safety topics…"
James said that for him health and safety was about every worker returning home as fit and healthy as when they arrived and not, as many people perceived, all about policies and paperwork. He said: "…If we can help employers achieve that, then we're getting it right. I was particularly pleased to hear keynote speaker Philip White, HSE's Director of Regulation, saying it was important not to over-regulate industries that were basically safe…"
James went on to say that: "…One of our main objectives is to help small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing a forum where they can learn about practical, easy to understand measures that will help to keep everyone safe at work…"

Most of the people suffer with loose face and wrinkles on the face due to age factor. So, most of us trying to use some excellent methods to make a face thin. In earlier days, there is no information about this technique. With the advent of internet technology, so many people are searching so many techniques to make a face thinner. If you want to search in internet, you need to use some key word like how to make a face look thin, may face look thinner. You can find numerous web sites contain so much of information regarding face thin. There are several methods to make a face thinner, all of which are exploring and review. Making your face thinner is a process, and you can achieve results fast.
Every human face is comprised of Ninety eight muscles, all of which will atrophy over time. It is necessary to do some excellent mouth exercises, when these muscles elongate and become weak. You need to concentrate on those targeted areas to make your face thin and attractive again. One thing we need to remember that fatty deposits can build up around these inactive muscles giving a person a very unsightly look to them. For this instance, most of the people are using only tools that to be very helpful is a face thing tool made from dental grade plastic that will work out for your facial muscles. You can find this item in numerous web sites. Dieting does not affect the size of your face as much since the muscles of your face are dormant and need to be used.
However, these tools were originally designed for trauma patients who need to work out their facial muscle to rehabilitate the muscles in their face, so this tool is treated as serious devices. You can find numerous information on this tool in so many web sites. This tool was used by the plastic surgeons to get rich in neck lip and face lifts. These are the only methods to obtain excellent results of face thinning and rest of methods is not working properly. Most of the people are already used this tool and gained good results. Finally, there are some well established and experienced web sites are selling this face thin tool to their customers. For more information and details, please visit their valuable web site.


One of India's best engineering colleges is working to prevent student suicides by pulling them out of loneliness and depression. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, wants students to interact more with each other instead of living cocooned lives on campus. And to nudge them towards this, hostel authorities simply switch off the power in the evenings.
Every evening, an hour of blackout is imposed in the hostels so that the occupants come out of their rooms, leaving behind their laptops and the internet, at least briefly, and bond with their peers.
"Once the lights are turned off, all the students are expected to come out of their room. Normally those students who spend maximum time in their room and do not interact with others, they are also forced to come out of their room and mingle with others," Manish Bhattacharya, dean, students affairs at IIT Kharagpur, told Quartz in an email.
This is expected to create a healthy social life on campus to potentially tackle depression, which intensifies with seclusion. Such depression, along with academic pressure, is said to be a major cause for instances of student suicide in India.
In 2015 alone (the latest year for which official data is available), 8,934 students committed suicide in the country, according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). About 2.8% of these incidents were at the graduate education level, which includes IIT students.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of students compete for a handful of seats at these premier engineering colleges. This intense competition continues even after securing seats, given that the IITs attract some of the most lucrative job offers in India. In addition, many students find it difficult to get used to life in a new town and handle responsibilities by themselves without support from family or friends. While most students fight the problems, a few wilt under pressure and commit suicide. At IIT-Kharagpur, two students committed suicide earlier this year. Other top institutes, too, have lost students to depression and stress.
Like the blackout project, IITs across the country have taken measures to tackle this depression, setting up creative centres for students to dance, sing, and play musical instruments or organising tree hugging sessions. The IITs also have counselling centres.
At Kharagpur, the students appear to be enjoying the "lights off" initiative, and more such activities are in the works.
The Rekhi Centre of Excellence for the Science of Happiness, the institute's initiative to promote students' well being, is helping out, too. It offers various courses, hosts regular workshops, and organises talks by researchers in the field.
"We hope that the courses will give them (students) deep insights into the theory and practice of happiness," Priyadarshi Patnaik, faculty coordinator for the Rekhi Centre, said.

Wang Zhijiong () (* 18. August 1983 in Shanghai) ist eine chinesische Geigerin. In Deutschland verwendet sie gelegentlich "Zhi-Jong", eine Verfremdung ihres Vornamens, als Künstlername.

Werdegang
Wang erhielt mit drei Jahren ihren ersten Violinunterricht und wurde als Neunjährige an der Musikhochschule Shanghai (上海音乐学院) bei der chinesischen Geigerin Lina Yu als Jungstudentin aufgenommen.

What is a Bandarqq?
A bandarqq is a band that's not all rock. There are no permanent members, so anyone can join the jam session. They are a great alternative if you're tired of the monotony of listening to the same genre. Be forewarned that there's no guarantee these bands will be good, but it's worth checking out for a change of pace. A bandarqq is a group of musicians who play in a particular style. It's not a specific genre like rock, metal, or country. Most members of the band are in the same genre, but there are some exceptions. However, there does not have to be an agreement on the genre for bandarqq to exist.
A jam session is when members of a band or other musicians meet and play music together without any specific skill or purpose in mind. A bandarqq is a group of musicians that plays rock music. However, they are not just all about rock. They also play jazz, blues, and even pop music. The band was formed in 2011 in Seattle by a group of friends who wanted to share their love for music with the world. A bandarqq, is not a band you would expect to see – unless you are in the middle of a jam session. A bandarqq is an experience that happens when people from different fields and backgrounds come together in one place, enjoy food and music from around the world, collectively bond and play together.
Guide to Bandarqq
A bandarqq is like a jam session with a global flair. It's an event where different cultures are blended into one event. A bandarqq is a jam session that takes place on the internet. This can be anything from a musical jam to a discussion – some even have their own chatrooms. One of the most popular bandarqqs is called "Jam Session." It has attracted thousands of members since its launch in 2015. The website uses audio and video streaming, which makes it easier for people to participate in the jam sessions remotely. Bandarqqs are not just limited to music, they can also be used for discussions and other types of jam sessions too.
A bandarqq is a jam session in which people of different musical genres come together to play music. The bandarqq concept was made popular by the rock band Allman Brothers that includes a number of different members from different musical genres. A bandarqq is a type of 'jam session' that typically uses a single guitar, bass, and drums. It is played with the same group of musicians in multiple configurations and different songs. A bandarqq performance consists of two or three sets, which are interspersed by audience participation and conversation between musicians. A jam session can happen anywhere – at home or even in front of a small audience. However, large-scale jam sessions happen in large venues like concert halls, where the music reverberates throughout the space.


Energy efficiency in the ACI (ASEAN-China-India) countries: is there room for regional policy coordination?
Energy efficiency and conservation are the major tools in the reduction of environmental impact and ecological footprints of the energy sector, particularly with regard to climate change. Energy efficiency also contributes to reducing external dependence and vulnerabilities of nations to shocks in the energy markets. At the global level, for arresting the global environmental degradation and costs of climate change, energy efficiency is of utmost importance for the emerging economies of Asia since the centre of gravity of the global economy has been continually tilting towards the Northern Indian Ocean close to the geographic proximity of ASEAN-China-India known as ACI nations. With a combined population of 3.15 billion and intraregional annual trade amounting to $1 trillion, the ACI nations are and will remain a major user of energy. These (ACI) nations will be an important piece in the jigsaw puzzle of the sustainability of the global economy, as these nations can pose a serious risk for creating and exaggerating the vulnerabilities of the global economy to climate shocks. In this paper we develop a quantitative technique, for the very first time to the best of our understanding, to examine the impacts of macroeconomic factors on energy efficiency and apply the method to understand the determinants of energy efficiency in the regional economy of the ACI nations. The cross-country dataset is constructed on the basis of secondary data on energy uses and several macroeconomic variables for China, India and nine (9) ASEAN countries over the period of 1989–2010. From the empirical findings we highlight the most appropriate policies for improving energy efficiency in the region that will be the home of one half of the global population by 2030. Although not all public policies seem effective, yet we are able to home in on a specific mix of policies and their coordination for promoting energy efficiency for and sustainability of the ACI nations.

Yamaha Restores Public Lands and OHV Areas in
San Bernardino National Forest
CYPRESS, CA – April 10, 2018 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, employees celebrated the company's Outdoor Access Initiative's (OAI) 10-year anniversary this past weekend, through the completion of their 10th volunteer project in the San Bernardino National Forest in support of OHV access opportunities. Working with members of the Southern California Mountains Foundation (SCMF) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the effort continued a 10-year tradition of Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative volunteer projects in the nation's most frequently visited forest.
For a decade, the Yamaha OAI has led the motorized recreation industry in creating and defending access to land for outdoor recreation through efforts promoting safe, responsible use of OHVs, educating the public on proper recreational land use and wildlife conservation practices, and protecting appropriate and sustainable access to public lands. In celebration of this milestone, more than 80 volunteers, including Yamaha employees, their friends and family members gathered at the Cactus Flats OHV Staging Area, near Big Bear Lake, California, to contribute more than 250 hours of volunteer service through projects including staging area and trail restoration and maintenance.
"For 10 years, Yamaha employees, the Southern California Mountains Foundation, and U.S. Forest Service volunteers have come together to realize OAI's mission," said Steve Nessl, Yamaha's ATV/SxS group marketing manager. "Yamaha is dedicated to supporting sustainable access to public lands like the San Bernardino National Forest – and each year our employees, families and friends invest their personal time in these projects, because outdoor recreation is a major part of our lives."
"Yamaha Motor Corporation has been a valuable partner for more than a decade and has helped us accomplish numerous restoration projects in the San Bernardino National Forest," said Stacy Gorin, executive officer of the Southern California Mountains Foundation. "This 10-year anniversary is a significant milestone for Yamaha, but also for our work together as we continue to act on our mutual, long term commitment to OHV land stewardship, and our mission of educating people to recreate responsibly."

Glasgow's LEZ comes into force
Council, News
Thomas Barrett
Scotland's first low-emission zone (LEZ) came into effect in Glasgow on Monday (December 31).
The first phase of Glasgow's LEZ will mean 20% of all buses that pass through the city must now meet emissions standards that comply with EU standards.
Phase Two will come into effect in December 2022 and will apply to all vehicles entering the zone. The scheme is being enforced by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).
Low Emission Zones were first recommended for Glasgow in 2008, and then promised and not delivered for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Glasgow was named in a UK Supreme Court ruling on illegal air pollution back in 2015, and the Court ordered 'urgent and immediate' action to tackle pollution levels in the city.
Gavin Thompson of Friends of the Earth Scotland criticised the phased nature of the LEZ, saying it will only require an improvement in a 'tiny' number of buses to meet the first year's target.
'Despite the offer of public money, private bus operators in Glasgow have been allowed to drag their heels, and people will suffer as a consequence,' he said.
'There are good things happening in Glasgow. The expansion of the cycle network, the Avenues project, and the forthcoming pedestrianisation of George Square will all help encourage sustainable transport and improve air quality, but the buses need to be cleaned up.
'Glasgow City Council need to push the bus companies to stop polluting, and move more quickly to include all vehicle types in the Zone, to protect the health of Glaswegians.'
Glasgow's LEZ will eventually adopt the following emission standards:
Euro 3 for motorcycles and mopeds
Euro 4 for petrol cars, vans, minibuses and other specialist vehicles
Euro 6 for diesel cars, vans and minibuses and other specialist vehicles
Euro VI for lorries, buses and coaches and other specialist heavy diesel engine vehicles
A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman called the phased approach 'pragmatic'.
'Glasgow is committed to cleaning up the air and is leading the way by introducing Scotland's first low-emission zone at the end of the year,
'Glasgow's LEZ is modelled as being capable of making significant reductions in levels of air pollution in the city centre. Focusing initially on local service buses, the strict emission standards required to enter the LEZ will apply to all vehicles by the end of 2022.
'This pragmatic and phased approach will ensure a manageable, yet robust timetable for implementation that looks at the city's overall needs to ensure it won't have a detrimental impact on people's lives, businesses and the vitality of the city centre.
'Other cities across Europe adopted similar lead in times for their low-emission zones, so it's seen as a reasonable amount of time to get the message out to businesses and residents so they are informed and can prepare. Glasgow's LEZ is a progressive policy that will deliver cleaner air for the people of Glasgow.'
Paul White, Deputy Director of CPT Scotland said; 'Buses are very much part of the sustainable and active transport solution to Glasgow's LEZ and can help achieve the Government's climate change targets. One bus can replace up to 75 car journeys, reducing congestion and improving air quality.
'We welcome Glasgow's commitment to working in partnership with bus operators. The bus industry will continue to invest in modern, greener vehicles. If the Council is able to provide an operating environment that prioritises public transport then we can maximise the benefits of this investment for the people of Glasgow.'
The Scottish Government has pledged to introduce Low Emission Zones into Scotland's four biggest cities; Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee between 2018 and 2020.

296 days ago, Team Run With Heart created this page in support of Stroke Foundation of New Zealand.
Received 88 donations from generous family and friends.
It may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to teeth but at the Otago Dental School, they run with heart. Last year, students, staff, and faculty ran for UNICEF and Life Matters, raising almost $4000.00. This year, the number of runners and fundraising efforts are even greater. To date, there are 26 runners confirmed with 4 non-profit charities receiving funds. The team does some training together and although some are running their first 10km race others are trying to beat full or half marathon personal best times.
Everyone wants to tackle some community issue but people often feel powerless to affect change alone and that's how Team Run with Heart came to be: the dentistry family cares AND they are here to do something about it together.
Every day, so many New Zealanders have their lives turned upside-down by stroke. They come from every age and background. They might be someone you know. Our team provides much-needed free support to survivors and their families in challenging and distressing times. Please help us to help them. Your kindness could help someone get back on their feet.
Stroke Foundation of New Zealand is a registered charity under the Charities Act 2005, registration number CC49490.

Adam Masina (; born 2 January 1994) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Italian  club Udinese and the Morocco national team.

Coming through Bologna's youth academy, Masina made his senior appearance with the club in 2012, and transferred to Watford in 2018. He was also loaned to Giacomense twice.

Masina was born in Morocco, and moved to Italy at a young age. He initially represented Italy internationally at under-21 level, before opting to play for the Morocco national team since 2021.

Club career
Masina was born in Khouribga, Morocco, but lost his mother as just an infant. He successively moved to Italy together with his brother and father, settling down in Emilia-Romagna, and was later assigned to a number of foster families due to his father's problems with alcoholism. He was eventually adopted by one of them, from which he took his last name.

At the age of 11, he was scouted and signed by Bologna. After a successful loan in Giacomense, he returned to Bologna in 2013 and made his senior debut for the Rossoblu in a 2–1 away win over Latina on 12 October 2014. He helped the club obtain Serie A promotion, later making his debut in the top division, and scoring his first goal in Serie A in an injury time victory at Carpi.

On 2 July 2018, Masina signed for English side Watford on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

On 18 July 2022, Masina signed a three-year contract with Italian club Udinese.

International career
In November 2015 Luigi Di Biagio called Masina to represent Italy U21 team after obtaining FIFA transfer. He made his debut with the Italy U21 side on 17 November 2015, in a Euro 2017 qualification match against Lithuania.

In March 2021, Masina was called up to represent Morocco in African Cup of Nations qualifier matches against Mauritania and Burundi. He made his debut on 26 March 2021 against Mauritania.

Style of play
Masina is known in particular for his technique, physicality and energy as a left-back.
