Shoes: doesn't have a preference
Voice: Rough, deep
Prized Possessions: none
Temperment:
Observant, on the blunt side in conversation although over the years he's tempered his 'direct-to-the-point' approach for a humourous outlook on most things while maintaining professionalism. He likes to tinker around with small technology projects and spend time with friends and family. He keeps an open mind but does get stubborn on occasion. He has always been somewhat of a take point, prefering to dive into the middle of the action and not one to laze around. Loves his family and treasures the time he has with them, adopted or otherwise. He's hit a point where he tempers his directness with a softer, laid back touch of support, knowing he's not going to be able to entirely overcome his direct methods. He is supportive of his colleagues, maintains and encourages other perspectives, and enjoys an open dialogue.
Habits:
He likes to set aside a little time in the day to work on a small tech project.
Takes time to meditate and a bit of quiet time
Has a right side, crooked smile
Can't resist taking apart some interesting piece of tech
Exercises three to four times a week
Keeps a clean, organized work space and doesn't like clutter (unless he's tinkering, modifying, or creating some kind of tech).
Hobbies and Passtimes:
David loves to tinker around with bits and pieces of tech, given that his favorite place is a mechanic's garage where he spent a chunk of his youth. With that, he enjoys a lot of the forging process, from programming, engineering, carpentry, metalsmithing. He enjoys playing guitar every once in a great while, but isn't in practice. He loves mountain climbing and cave diving, two passions out of youth having grown up on Mars. Along with that is a love for swimming, ocean and sky sailing. He likes books on history, archaeology, and a good mystery novel. In the later years he's gotten into fencing and swordwork and has developed an interest in art, a more recently discovered passion for paintings.
Likes and Dislikes:
He has a love/hate relationship with holodecks. David and holodecks get along just fine when everything is working correctly, but doesn't like them when they start acting out (although given his history with holomatrix technology, it's an irritant more than a dislike). He is also not fond of medical beds, and finds excuses to avoid getting physicals (due to the fact he spent almost three years in a coma). He loves a good game of chess, and when he has the time, likes to make Scotch Whiskey. He's developed an interest in painting, which he enjoys doing and find it to be theraputic. Given a choice, David would rather be outdoors and exploring new places, antiquing, and enjoying life and the universe at large. He loves to explore.
Ambitions and Goals:
After so many years, David has reached a number of goals and things he set out to do. Right now his goals are more family-focused, being a father to his adopted daughter, [Cody, B'Sara|B'Sara]], enjoy life, and settle down. After the situation regarding the Odyssey Station, he's less apt to be a procedural officer and more of a 'let's just see and figure it out' approach. He'd like to see if his new-founding painting hobby yields more serious works. He'd like to settle down, relax, and enjoy the rest of his life while exploring the universe. Perhaps a write a holo-novel. Enjoy his friends and family.

B'Sara Cody, daughter (adopted)
Born in 2352, David is the only child of civilian engineer Barnes Cody and his wife, Barbara Jennet, the founder and owner of Jennet Trade Securities Corporation (JTSC). His childhood was filled with the sweeping sand dunes and the colony cities of Mars, where he had attended primary and secondary education, and could usually be found helping his father rebuilt machines or out cave diving, one of his loved pastimes from youth. He had the opportunity to help his father restore an old Forerunner shuttlecraft (which would later be identified as the JTSC-3 Prototype), and given the location of the house, which was outside of the city, he was very much an outback child getting a mix of both the old and the new.
Dave's youth was spent in school, at home, and working with his mother and father at the JTSC facility. He had the opportunity to go with them, more often with Barbara, on several trade relations missions and get to know several cultures in the process. Once into his teenaged years, Barbara began preparing her son for a career in the civilian sector as a trade securities investigator/relations, so his time was split between school and the many short missions he accompanied his mother with, which included Betazed. David is no stranger to Betazoids, having visited the planet several times with Barbara during the course of his youth. The Turow'endial Family, while not a part of the major houses, quickly had established trade relations between Betazed and Mars acting as representatives. During a trip during Dave's thirteenth year in 2365, the family promoted an exchange where one of their daughters, Deborra was interested in learning the business. Deborra accompanied both Dave and Barbara back to Mars where she quickly became adopted into the family.
The rest of Dave's teenaged youth was inheriting an older sister in many ways. While Dave and Deborra didn't see as much of each other, the relative ages (13 and 16) made for sibling bond. He introduced her to sports related activites and she introduced laughter. They refer to themselves as brother and sister, even though technically they're not related to each other. All of which would be put to the test a couple years later when Deborra turned 18 in June 2367. Fifteen at the time, and only from the forging of their sibling relationship, Dave knew enough to know they needed to remove Deborra away during her coming-of-age. He suggested the caverns of Mars, where both he and Deborra disappeared for several days. Neither Dave or Deborra have talked about it at length, as the incident in question they didn't know was a paradox that David would not know until his fortieth year. Several marked changes to Dave's personally emerged when they returned. Gone was the laughing, good-natured boy of youth. In place, a more serious, focused teenager in reserve, and unknowningly, had a limited telepathic ability blocked.
In Youth
By the age of eighteen in the beginning of summer 2370, David signed on as a crew hand to Captain Mov'na, who had recently launched a freighter trader ship dubbed the Skiptrace. Over the course of the next four years, between 2370 and 2374, Dave's life centered around civilian trade that took him to several systems throughout the Alpha Quadrant, gaining first hand experience on the frontlines. A full and complete history is hard to come by, given like serving aboard a Federation starship, the Skiptrace's first four years are myriad trader missions. A major change came around March/April 2374, when the crew of the Skiptrace met Gersh Nathan, who arranged to buy the ship off Mov'na. The crew of traders, firmly under Nathan's command, noticed a subtle shift in the trade runs, which began to include missions of mercy, and occasionally, running medical supplies among other non-profit missions. Dave found the change interesting. The runs became longer, a bit more dangerous at times, and occasionally skirting around blockades to deliver some badly needed food and medical supply.
He served four more years on the Skiptrace before a particular trade goods mission to Ferengar put Dave in the crosshairs of a Ferengi trader named Tvatec. At the time, the initial meeting dealt with talks establishing a courier route between Tvatec's ship and the possibility of including Mars (Tvatec, being well aware Dave was the son of the JTSC founder). Dave inadvertantly broke one of the rules of engagement and Tvatec utilized the Ferengi Government to issue an arrest warrant for breaking Trade Law. Dave had no choice but to agree to a bondsmanship to work off the debt.
Evening Before the Collar
The Skiptrace left and Dave reluctantly agreed to wearing a neck collar device, which would prove to cause him more physical damage than he knew at the time. Tvatec had something very much in mind, seeing an opportunity to create what eventually the Ferengi would call a "specialist retriever". Dave was, in all aspects, an investigator, and a property retriever. In the first few months, Cody was given assignments around Ferengar, going after other Ferengi who had, at various points, managed to either swindle or cash in on some of Tvatec's holdings. Through Cody, Tvatec was able to incorporate trade securities and apply the Terran law of lading and bill of ownership.
It did not take long for David to graduate into a full investigator, and simultaneously, mastering the Ferengi language. In his first year working as a bondsman for the Ferengi, he graduated from tracking down people and property to being assigned a one man ship to pursue suspects beyond the system. It took him less than a month to realize what the collar was: a device to keep him awake and running. Sleep became a luxury only after the assignment was over (and barring another, which on occasion did happen).
Throughout 2378 into 2380, Cody would be a trade securities investigator in the full sense of the word, 90% of the time for Tvatec, the rest actually for the Ferengi government. Part trader, part cop, and a solid reputation for tracking down everyone and everything. After the summer of 2380, Dave had enough. He had learned the Ferengi well enough to know they would not consider the debt settled unless he could buy out the contract. Arranging a couple of deals on the side, Cody's liberation day came in October, where he cashed in and bought out his bond from the Ferengi Government, hopped on the nearest outbound trader ship, and went back to Mars.
The Specialist Retriever
Once home, Cody had a few shocks. His parents were dead, found in their home. By the design of the will, Deborah was running the JTSC, Dave retained ownership. He suffered through a lengthy inquest, due in part of being suspect, but once the Ferengi government and Gersh Nathan accounted for his whereabouts, Cody found himself at home, battered, bruised, unable to sleep, and taking stock of a shattered family, he set about the task of solving the circumstances around his parents' death and dealt with Starfleet Medical hoping to reverse the damage the control collar had done to his physiology.
It was a Starfleet Medical Examiner that suggested Cody might look into joining Starfleet, despite being older than most cadets. At 28, Dave was a businessman with a full career, although his experience had soured him from trade securities. After a long, serious discussion with Deborah, he decided to take up the offer and returned to Earth, attending San Francisco's Starfleet Academy for an accelerated program in Tactical and Security. Finishing up in February 2383, Cody was dispatched to the USS Independence under the command of Admiral Anassasi.
Cody arrived in enough time to see the treaty signed between Starfleet and the FTU, brokered by Admiral Anassasi. He served with distinction over the course of the year, coming into his rise during the Gorn Conflict in the battle for DS17 inside the Eratis System. The loss of the Independence toward the end of the year found Cody serving as the starbase's Chief of Security and working with fellow crewmembers who would go on to recommission the USS Ronin under Captain Idril Mar and Commander Ben Walker.
A good portion of the early year would be disasterous for Cody, who had leaped before looking attempting to save an inherited civilian child, B'Sara Cavann from being kidnapped from a passing biomechanoid with the arrival of the newly constructed USS Independence-A. Ending up trapped inside a growing sphere that would have contained a star system, he was forced to blast his way out during its collapse and ended up in spacewalk for several seconds before the Independence could retrieve him.
Through the efforts of the Independence-A crew, along with Dr. Vojana Satscher and LtCmdr Toni Turner, on a holographic link loan, they were able to slowly bring Dave back to strength. Once back on assignment, Dave continued to serve aboard the Independence in both Tactical and Security, heading up the departments through the mission to locate the missing USS Benjamin Franklin that took the crew outside of the Milky Way. In the process, by way of the Greeters, he also found Barnes' missing modified shuttlecraft, the JTSC-3 Prototype, and opened up a chink in the mystery of his parents' death.
In Gear
Dave took a temporarily leave of absence during the course of the latter year back to StarBase 118, in part due to following up on his securities exams and took some coursework in Intelligence. He returned to the Independence-A in September of 2384, meeting some of the crew of the USS Triumphant who had recently arrived, as well as meeting Lt. Quinn Reynolds. At the time, Cody was serving as a Marine/Security Lliason aboard the ship, but soon returned to be the ship's Chief of Security as his relationship with the Independence's new Chief Engineering officer blossomed.
The year cultimated with a brush-in with a long-thought gone race, the T'lithians while the Independence was running to the Ithassa Region from Starbase 118. The Independence-A docked with the Midway Repair Facility to undergo repairs. Following up on a medical relief aid mission, the crew of the Independence took command of the USS Phoenix-C to follow up on problems within the Triades-Episolon system.
The bombing events that took place on TE-IV during LtCmdr Sidney Riley's away mission led to several discoveries. One, the Breen were discovered inside the Ithassa, second, the Bung Kho Cartel may or may not have been involved, and lastly, they were finally able to get the Independence-A back.
Serving as both the Independence's Chief of Security and Second Officer, Cody enjoyed catching up with the Ithassa Fleet at Wheeler Colony, which also had prompted an event that shot the Fleet back outside the Galactic Barrier and forced the crew members visiting down planet to re-commandeer the USS Phoenix-C to track them down.
Once the Fleet was back, the Independence sailed on, heading for the Igloo Cluster to do a survey where they suspect the Breen ship from the TE system may have gone. Along the way, newly promoted Commander Riley recommissioned the USS Tiger along with the arrival of some of the Ursa Major crew. Assigned as the Independence's First Officer during this time, the Independence remained inside Igloo as they became caught in the cross-fire between a Baby Blue Alien that managed to lodge itself into the ship's warp core when they came across an unknown race. Further complications arose when the Skiptrace entered the fray, followed by a Breen warship which separated the crew over three ships as they worked to resolve the crisis with the galactic blue alien.
The Independence took a nasty hit by a Breen weapon, which split the ship into three different realities. Working tirelessly, the Independence crew came together to resolve the blue alien crisis as the Breen ship cloaked, sailing off after stealing numerous parts off the Independence as a few Breen were discovered on ship. Finishing them, Dave discovered the Breen had managed to swipe the JTSC-03 prototype containing the space-fold drive. Following the events, Starfleet ordered the return of some of the crew.
As repairs to the ship were underway, Dave as well as several members of the crew found an interesting holographic waveform in a nearby starsystem. Dispatching, they discovered a quantum singularity causing ghosts of the past to warn them away from the system. At the same time, RAdm. Anassasi was recalled to Starfleet Command when the order came down for them to return to DS17.
Taking command of the Independence, Dave sent the crew to close the singularity on their way out, cruising back for the Eratis System and DS17. Along the way, they were briefly sidetracked with orders to pick up and escort an Admiral with them back to the starbase, unknowingly also housing a serial killer among their midst. It was the crew's finest moment.
After that, David was reassigned for a short duration to command the USS Daedalus on what was believed to be a joint StarBase118 and Ithassa Region Intelligence Operation in the hunt for the missing JTSC-03 housing a working coaxial drive for space fold flight. While the hunt yeilded only stranger clues, David was recalled back to the Independence where eventually StarFleet reactived his status as First Officer. It was a bad year to return to command. A coordinated strike lead by a warrior race called Ixvapyans nearly deciminated DS17 and attemped to take out the combined Ithassa Region Taskforce. The Fleet survived, but the inheritor of the Phoenix Legacy, the USS Phoenix-C was stolen. Originally ordered to take the Indepedence after the Phoenix, David returned to grab Captain Idril Mar before the Independence crew steered nearly all of the explored Region through the Igloo Cluster to Bull's Run and beyond back to Odyssey Station before the caught up to the stolen Phoenix and the Ixvapyans.
David has lived through war, but nothing like the carnage left in the wake of the Ixvapyans. Facing their Warlord, David was forced to return to his tactical/security training that ended with Hadrian's death in blade comabat. The event shattered his notions of changing face of gray, but in many more ways than he's currently aware of as what might be described as the soul of Warlord begins integrating itself into David's own soul.
Before the turn of the year, David was assigned the USS Independence-A after his commanding officer, Flt.Capt. Idril Mar was recalled to Starfleet Command. Although somewhat grass-green and new to the center chair, reports say the man was adjusting well right up to his inexplicable disappearance on Stardate 238703.25. It was undetermined whether he had been kidnapped or had simply vanished, as final reports revealed the Captain's Ready Room had some kind of space-time distortion. Without any leads, Starfleet listed David as M.I.A.
Unbeknownst to Starfleet, David had been transported back to Odyssey Station, where he had accepted as its caretaker. Finding himself effectively trapped without a way to get in touch with Starfleet, David undertook a radical course of action that took him the better part of the year to master the technology, referred to as holomatrix construct, which allowed David to create a matrix construct of his actual body and transfer his mind into, opening a corridor long enough to deposit the matrix construct of himself on the extreme edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. In order for it to work, David had to forget where he physically was in order to make it work, and woke up in the matrix construct on a deserted planet with no knowledge of how he actually got there.
Planetary Isolation
It took almost a full year before a science vessel, the USS Kalipso, picked up on the combadge signal emitting from the planet. After being taken off planet back to Starfleet, David was treated for malnutrition and psychiatric isolation for having lived so long without any kind of social interaction (and based on he almost took out an entire Away Team before they were able to subdue and move David back to the Kalipso) and saturated with space - time differentials. The Chief Medical Officer of the Kalipso suspected some kind of lengthly duration outside of the normal space-time flow, but couldn't prove conclusively given David had been living on planet since almost his disappearance from the Independence.
David spent the first three months of 2389 under physical therapy and psychiatric evaluation, as well as reintrod ucing him back into a social environment. Noted among the Starbase118 Medical Staff, it became evident that while he couldn't consciously remember the time between March 2387 and December 2388, spikes in his EEG and CAT scans revealed his dream states were accessing those memories. He was eventually diagnosed with memory overload and a strict regimine of memory recall were implimented.
By April of 2389, David passed his physicals and had pieced back together his sense of self, along with his memories up to the point of his disappearance and after the Kalipso crew rescued him. Starfleet Intelligence stepped in then and removed David from Medical's custody. He underwent a full debriefing, and SFI put him through another full regimine of therapy as well as retraining in field operations before they would sign off and allow David to return to active duty.
Intelligence and Medical finally signed off and allowed David to return to Active Duty on Stardate 238907.10, where he joined Starbase 118 Ops, under the commanding of then Captain Kalianna Nicholotti. Less than two days after returning to Starfleet, David swept his commanding officer, newly minted Captain Kali Nicholotti into a dance that did more than just waltz across the floor, kindling deeper feelings and a strong attraction during a formal dinner and promotion celebration. Disaster struck with an assassination attempt on Kalianna. David unknowningly tapped into the knowledge blocked by creating a holographic matrix to act as Kalianna's double. Over the course of the incident within the Thracian Alliance and the Klingons during the crisis, David found himself drawn deeper towards his commanding officer, cultimating with the Victory's return to the StarBase and sharing his feelings with her. In November of 2389, they made the decision to move in together after Kalianna died a second time, only to be revived by an ingenious Doctor Johanna MacLaren where they spent the night together in the Recovery Room of the USS Victory.
Intertwined
The arrival of B'Sara Cavann, who heard David reappeared and had been tracking down the man she viewed as her father, sparked the web of what happened to David unfolding as he 'woke up' during the course of the Thracian Incident. His matrix construct dissolved as he was shunted back into his physical body back on Odyssey Station, prompting an all out rescue by the station crew to bring him back.
They found David attached to a machine of unknown type. Nicholotti, using her medical knowledge, managed to detach David from the device, packed him up, and left back for Starbase 118. Unconscious and deep in a coma, David remained in the coma ward on Starbase 118 from the time of his rescue, in the beginning 2390 until the beginning of 2392 when he woke up. Wanting to recover at home, David removed himself and took B'Sara back with him to Mars, effectively retiring himself to recover, get back into the family business, and by end of June 2392, recovered and settled as the corporate owner of the JTSC.
It didn't last. Starfleet Intelligence recalled David to the Fleet, handing him the USS Daedalus to get out to the Garridon System on the Federation-Klingon border to find out what happened to one of their brand new outposts as they hadn't received a report from the officer on hand. David arrived within the system and quickly determined the planet was unsuitable for the outpost, as over three hundred people were trapped on the surface. Working with the USS Gemini, David aided in the extraction of the outpost personnel and ran face-to-face with Kalianna again.
On stardate 239207.13, David was re-instated to the Fleet and assigned to the USS Apollo-A, joining his former commanding officer and its new crew, as a Mission Specialist, which suited his unique set of skills. He served over the course of its run until the Apollo's decommissioning on stardate 2393.0214 (ironically, falling on the eve prior to his tenth anniversary when he joined Starfleet). Kalianna's departure left an emptiness in heart, losing the woman he loved.

Be Mindful
Rituparno Ghosh: Shaking you out of your comfort zone
Miss not the quiet by lanes of Kolkata, for oft they conceal great minds; although, if you ask, even the paan-bidi wala, he will lead you to their home. Nor must your eyes overlook the aesthetically done with beautiful antique furniture and large paintings, dimly lit dark rooms, whose walls tell stories, no less than half a century old. In one such home, resides, India's pride, the brilliant film maker, Rituparno Ghosh. His name and work go far beyond the domain of the ordinary to reach out to the sky, where freedom of expression weds the colours and hues of human relationships, in its diverse alternate shades.
Engaged with presenting human relationships from two points, loneliness and companionship, finding a friend in unlikely places, indeed, all of Rituparno Ghosh's films talk recurring same subject and bring the viewer to address realities they do not acknowledge consciously. Questioning the institution of marriage, it's happily ever after cover which hide deeper schism between couple, the film maker's representation of the urban middle class families is unprecedented on Bengali screen.
"I was the first at least in Bengali films to deal with the urban middle class home in a manner that some poignant truths of their lives came out which have not been spoken of before. For the first time the audience was watching things that had remained buried within them; in fact, there was a denial of this truth. So in a way it was some kind of getting into the unchartered waters, at the same time dealing with loneliness and companionship and questioning the whole notion of the two."
In Dahan, the first film that talked about marital rape, or the National Film Award winner, Unishe April (19th April) depicting the stressed relationship between a divorced couple, and the strained mother-daughter relationship, Utsab, which show complex set of problems in a family who have gathered for the annual Durgapujo, or Shubho Muhurat, showing parallel relationships running from past to present, a sleuth and a victim find companionship in each other, even as a medley of human emotions, compassion and empathy come to the fore and leave the audience with much food for thought, there is no right and wrong, no judgment made at any time. This reflects Rituparno Ghosh's own aspiration as non-judgmental. His films, in Hindi, English and Bengali, are his voice to artistically reach that destination.
When asked whether he thinks a committed live-in relationship is better than a marriage, he is wise.
"I don't condemn marriage nor is it something I am immediately elated about; it is how you want to conduct yourself, and we can't preempt our behavior at any stage. Marriage is not about two individuals; it is two families. When you are staying together there are certain odds you are facing. Are you staying together just to challenge the institution of marriage, or are you really living together happily? Quite often, just because, we have chosen to live together over marriage, there is an extra effort to prove that we are happy, which may be artificial at times. In the face of being marginalized for living lives that do not conform to society, it is entirely upon our fortitude and patience, our ability to complement each other that make the relationship last."
Rituparno Ghosh (49) is blessed with fingers that give away his parents' profession as artists. These long, perfectly manicured hands learned their first lessons in film making with his father, who made low budget documentary films, converting the family's dining table into his editing table! Further, his love of cinema took a serious turn when at 12, in 1975, Doordarshan Kolkata started airing Hindi and Bengali cinema on Sunday evenings. 'It was then only a matter of scale,' he says when armed with the technique of making films and ten years in advertising experience, the final push came while shooting a documentary, Vande Mataram with Shabana Azmi. She suggested that he take up making films for the larger screen. Hirer Angti, a children's film, was his first. He was young and hungry for fame and recognition. With Unishe April, his second, he rose to become one of India's best known film-writer and Directors. From 1994 to 2010, almost year on year, Rituparno Ghosh won Awards at the national and international level.
With his latest film, Chitrangada (A), released in Kolkata, in August, 2012, now available across India, on DVD, from 11th February, 2013, Rituparno Ghosh has ventured upon a yet again widely discussed subject of same sex relationships and the Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS).
"After Article 377, it has actually given visibility to homosexuality and there is a clear line drawn in the minds of people between homosexuality and heterosexuality. What lies with the entire gender matrix of various kinds of sexual desires had not been discussed before on screen. Chitrangada wanted to talk about the liminality of one's desire to belong to a particular sexuality and the entire debate of gender and sex and the need to have an altered body, which everyone can wish to have. We are all working toward sculpting our own gender identity; women alter their bodies at Beauty Parlours, men get six packs. No transformation is actually over, it is a process; it is fluid."
Clearly, Rituparno Ghosh's mind is larger than life. The world will confer, in life and on the silver screen.

Madhulika Liddle: Engraved in Stone
You might have looked hard at the Jaipur Book Festival for her, or even expected her to be seen at book readings in Delhi, but she is best found in Wikipedia prominently figuring as the author who created the 17th century, detective Muzaffar Jang, placed historically in the Mughal period in India. With her debut novel in The Englishman's Cameo, Madhulika Liddle secured her place in the history of the literary world of Indian authors writing in English, to give India its first detective placed in a period.
Liddle (40) began writing when she was 6 years old!
"My mother used to subscribe to Femina and I thought it was the perfect magazine, a story here, a recipe there, some fashion and so I emulated it and had my own Madhu's Magazine, which had a story, a grotty recipe, some drawings, it had a bit of fashion with little swashes of material hanging out...!"
The journey with words had begun but it was much later, in her late twenties that Liddle began to look at writing more seriously.
Into her third book featuring Muzaffar Jang, the latest being Engraved in Stone, Liddle's books sell even before the launch. The sheer romance of a period equals the love and addiction people have developed for her main character. The language is excellent and the plot so engaging that the reader is kept hooked till the end.
Madhulika Liddle studied Hotel Management. But it was her historian older sister who became her source of inspiration for writing in the Maurya period. Besides, when her brother-in-law, passionate about historical detective novels brought into the family, trunk loads of novels, Madhulika Liddle got hooked. It is then she decided that she was going to create one herself.
"When I read these books I found that in almost every period of history there is a detective - there is a medieval Chinese detective, a Welsh monk, an Egyptian eunuch and I thought why not one from India? If there has to be one, then, I must create one."
And bingo! Muzaffar Jang was born! The enormous amount of literature and research material available on the period helped to write stories placed in the Mughal period.
The creation of a detective placed in a period, is not the only first that has graced Liddle. The first prize at Femina's thriller contest with her story, Silent Fear, now a part of her latest humour short story collection, My Lawfully Wedded Husband was followed by a first at The Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, with The Morning Swim; again a first at Sulekha.com, Crossing Paths. A Suitor for Saraswati was the second runner-up in The India Smiles Contest. Also, in Zubaan 21 Under 40 short stories collection All this added a philip to her confidence and she realised that she could write stories that people liked to read.
Madhulika Liddle is a prolific writer and has four published books, a few short stories, and plans to create a series of books placed in Delhi between the period of 11th CE and 1947.when India got its independence. She wishes to carry on her Muzaffer Jang stories, the first of which, The Englishman's Cameo, was also published in French by Editions Philippe Picquier, as Le Camée Anglais. Indeed, Muzaffar Jang is an extension of Madhulika Liddle, with his love of books, birds and curiosity. But he may begin to sulk soon as his creator aspires to publish another series of detective novels with a different central character! Madhulika Liddle has her mind full with a number of other books and stories she wishes to write in the near future
"I would like to be known as an author who writes stories in different genre and not only one, including socially relevant stories. The story which won the CBA competition is one such. I am hoping to bring out a collection of stories which showcase this aspect of my writing."
Liddle follows a strict discipline. She does at least 1000 words a week day. She reads a lot, does not watch Television and writes throughout the day. She also writes frequent on her blog on cinema, before 1970.
She regards her husband, Tarun Bhandari as her greatest support. It was he who stood by her when she decided to leave her job to pursue a career in writing.
"He is the sweetest thing in life," says Liddle coyly. "Actually I would not have been an author today if not for him. He is my first level editor, and the in-house marketing person for my books."
Cheers to Tarun for supporting the lady's success, as India's first historical detective novelist. Indeed, Madhulika Liddle's name is engraved in stone for giving birth to Muzaffar Jang, from India.

Teens find it difficult to break the cycle of staying up late every night. "A common misconception is that you can catch up on sleep," Rosemary Ahonen, advanced placement psychology teacher, said.
Around seven a.m., the sound of Ansley McDaniel's, sophomore at Oxford HS in MS, alarm clock startles her awake. After a rough night's sleep of about five to six hours, she heads to school and tries not to fall asleep in her classes. That night, attempting to complete homework assignments and keep her eyes open is a hassle.
Overwhelmed by the unrelenting demands of her teachers, she is up studying in late hours of the night, or even as early as one a.m. McDaniel is desperate for a good night's rest, but she knows that she can not afford to do so while her math homework and science assignments await her.
McDaniel is among the many high schoolers who are sleep deprived. One could call it an epidemic amongst teenagers in school, as the effects are daunting. According to sleepfoundation.org, 87 percent of American teens suffer from chronic sleep deprivation.
"[Not getting enough sleep] makes it really hard to focus the next day, and when I'm doing my homework at my house the night before I'm like, 'Ok, I know I'm going to have a horrible day tomorrow because I didn't get any sleep,' " McDaniel said.
McDaniel usually gets around six hours of sleep per night, which is two hours below the recommended amount of sleep for adolescents. According to sleepfoundation.org, the waking time and sleeping time for teenagers tend to shift later, but it is vital for them to get the recommended amount in order to function.
"[Not getting enough sleep can] Limit your ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems. You may even forget important information like names, numbers, your homework or a date with a special person in your life," sleepfoundation.org said.
Many teenagers who think they are just tired, are usually suffering from sleep deprivation. Rosemary Ahonen, advanced placement psychology teacher, works with students every day and sees the effects of the lack of rest in her students.
"A common misconception is that you can catch up on sleep. Students will often come back and say 'Oh I had a great weekend, I slept all weekend,' but that doesn't catch you up on sleep. It just continues to screw up your circadian rhythm. You should go to bed and get up at the same time every single day. And it's hard for a lot of us just to get that re-established," Ahonen said.
A circadian rhythm is the "24-hour internal clock" that 'ticks' in one's brain, cycling between awakeness and sleepiness in regular intervals. Tempering with this master clock can have damaging effects, including Delayed Sleep Syndrome, or DSPS, which causes difficulty in falling asleep at night, increased stressed which can lead to depression, and a multitude of other symptoms.
"More importantly, it gives your body time to rest, and if your brain and your body are not rested, you can have digestive problems, you can have mental problems, a whole series of physical problems. I mean there's even a liver disease that's linked to lack of sleep. Sleep is just a very important role for your physical health and mental health," Ahonen said.
However, the stupendous stack of homework one may see on his or her desk usually is not the primary cause of lack of sleep. For some students, the glowing light from the cellphone is what keeps them up at night. In today's technology-driven world, it is very easy to lose sleep over a Tweet or a text.
Ola High School's statistics regarding lack of sleep in teens. Many students stated that they were always tired and struggled staying focused on school work.
"I'm pretty good with being able to put my phone down, because, like, when I'm able to get sleep, I want to get sleep. But, definitely, if something has happened through my phone or something I found through my phone, then it will definitely keep me up at night," McDaniel said.
In a poll taken by 150 Ola High students, 45.9 percent said that their phones contributed to their major lack of sleep. 69.3 percent of the students said their phone is the last thing they see before they close their eyes to sleep at night.
"One of the ways you deal with stress is to get more quality sleep. But a lot of that is hindered by the need to continually be on social media, waking up at two and three in the morning to respond to Snapchat or text or whatever other media you're responding to," Ahonen said.
In the same poll, when asked, "How often do you find yourself struggling to stay awake/focus during class?" 30.6 percent said "very often," and 38.7 percent said "every once in a while,". Students were also able to share their struggles with sleep deprivation and how it affects them in school. Many explained that it was an "endless cycle" of staying up late to complete assignments, being exhausted by the long school day, going home to do homework until late hours and doing this same routine over and over again.
"It changes your behavior in a negative way. You wake up groggy and angry at the world for no apparent reason. A school day seems like a whole week. I personally find myself struggling significantly to focus on even the smallest of task in class after pulling an all-nighter. This leads to an increased stress level for me and I then tend to have even more trouble sleeping the following night," an anonymous poll taker wrote.
Many students even feel pressured to stay up late in order to maintain their grades and handle other extracurriculars.
"I am exhausted the rest of the day and sometimes have trouble staying awake and focusing in class. However, if I want to have good grades and be able to balance sports, then I have to. I hate it, though," another anonymous participant responded.
In light of the epidemic, some students have found ways to work around this harmful endless cycle. Ariana Davis, senior, has a plan every day to help her get the right amount of rest she needs to be successful.
"I get here around nine 'o clock, and after school, I take a 15-minute power nap and then I eat dinner and then I do homework for about three hours. Then, I take a shower and then I go to sleep," Davis said.
Davis also makes sure to wake up and sleep at the same time every day, helping her circadian rhythm. Falling asleep at 8:30 pm every night is a rule in her house and something most high schoolers can only dream of doing.
"Students need to have, just as adults need to have, rules on what technology is allowed in the sleeping area. They need to have the ability to go to sleep when they are sleepy and not push themselves past that. And once you get that pattern reestablished, you feel better," Ahonen said.
Sleep deprivation in teenagers is a major crisis, and as the days go by, snoring and drooling in classes increases. Sleep is something that no energy drink or power nap can suffice. A good night's rest is precious in the lives of high schoolers who are begging to wake up without yearning to for five more minutes.
"Sleep is so important to allowing the brain time to rejuvenate, and we don't do that enough. I think it's hard when you're in your teens or even in your early 20s, when you're starting your career and starting college, to get the sleep that you need. You have to figure out a system that's going to work for you," Ahonen said.

...and you know I was a big supporter of Hillary how?
Because you're a Marxist. Marxists don't support President Trump (thank God!).
I think you just broke the stupidometer.
You really are a lot like McCarthy was. An idiot that ruined many lives with false claims.
Now I think if you ask other folks on the right here if not supporting that traitorous bastard Trump makes one an instant Marxist you'll find they're not all in agreement with your severely warped sense of what I can't even call logic because it's so illogical.
As for your thanking God I'm atheist for my own reasons. People like you are a large part of that.
You don't follow God. You worship Trump.
You are beyond dense.
High praise from a Marxist.
And you worship a traitorous bastard instead of God. Hope you like Satan when you meet him in person.
He's dead.
What about Republicans that don't support him?
There's no way Democrats can keep COVID alive for another 14 months...mail-in voting is dead. There's not way a Democrat can win an honest election.
They're RINOs.
If Covid is dead it will be a feather in Biden's cap.
It's not clear that the DNC wasn't involved it COVID's release. It certainly helped BOTH China and the Democrats...politically.
It's not clear that the traitorous bastard Trump isn't behind it all too.
Make a valid point at some time in your life.
Where do you get that statement? I've patiently listened to everyone here stake out their position. I would rate you and @GeneWright as the most intelligent of the bunch. Still, you can't get past your politics to acknowledge the obvious. I've given you both every opportunity to be genuine, yet you go the other way. I'm done being Mr. Nice Guy. You've been put on notice!
you forgot to mention MARXISTS
Take that as a given.
Where did I get that statement? The same place you got yours of course.
Honestly Yak I don't care if you're nice guy, mean guy or lukewarm guy.
You're the type of people that need to culled from American society. Anyone who can't proudly stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance are not citizens. Love of country and the Constitution transcends politics. It's a requirement of new citizens and should be regularly affirmed by current citizens, as well. Everyone in this country must Preserve, Protect, and Defend the precious gift they've been given...or exit.
You're the type of people we need to culled from American society. Anyone who can't proudly stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance are not citizens. Love of country and the Constitution transcends politics.
Hitler said similar things Yak.
Kind of makes you proud doesn't it.

François Schlatter ou Francis Schlatter, (1856-1896 ?) était un cordonnier alsacien émigré aux États-Unis auquel on a attribué de nombreuses guérisons miraculeuses. Il a été connu en son temps sous de nombreux noms dont « The Healer » (le Guérisseur), « Le plus grand thaumaturge de son siècle », « El Sañador », « Le marcheur de Dieu », « Le Saint de Denver », « Le Prophète aux  guérisons », « Le pauvre cordonnier du Colorado ».

Biographie

Enfance
Schlatter naît, neuvième enfant d'une famille de tisserands, dans le village d'Ebersheim, dans le Bas-Rhin, près de Sélestat, en Alsace, le 29 avril 1856. François, sourd et aveugle à un an, grâce à la foi de sa mère qui le consacre à Dieu, guérit de sa cécité et partiellement de sa surdité. Pendant une dizaine d'années un rêve prémonitoire le hante ainsi qu'une de ses sœurs. Il pense qu'une mission l'attend, liée au destin de l'humanité.
En 1870, son père meurt, il a 14 ans, et devient apprenti cordonnier ; sa mère meurt en 1871.

Émigration aux États-Unis
En 1884, il émigre aux États-Unis, où il travaille dans divers commerces dans diverses villes. Il s'installe à Denver, au Colorado, en 1892. Là, quelques mois plus tard, à son banc de cordonnier, il a une vision et entend la voix du Père lui ordonnant de vendre son entreprise, de donner l'argent aux pauvres et de consacrer sa vie à guérir les malades.

Il entreprend alors un pèlerinage à pied, pendant deux ans, d'environ  autour de l'Ouest américain qui le conduit à travers l'est du Colorado, le Kansas et l'Oklahoma, puis à Hot Springs, Arkansas, où il est arrêté et emprisonné pour vagabondage.

Au début de 1894, il s'échappe et se dirige vers l'ouest, traverse le Texas, le Nouveau-Mexique, l'Arizona et se rend dans le sud de la Californie, où il commence ses premiers essais de guérison avec les Indiens de la vallée de San Jacinto ().

Après deux mois, il reprend son pèlerinage et se dirige vers l'est à travers le désert des Mojaves, ne vivant que de farine et d'eau. En juillet 1895, il se manifeste comme guérisseur chrétien dans les villages du Rio Grande au sud d'Albuquerque. Là, tout en soignant des centaines de malades, de souffrants et de handicapés qui affluent dans la vieille ville d'Albuquerque, il  devient célèbre. Les foules se rassemblent autour de lui tous les jours, espérant être guéries de leurs maladies simplement en serrant ses mains. Le mois suivant, il retourne à Denver, et ne reprend ses guérisons qu'à la mi-septembre. Au cours des semaines suivantes, son ministère attire des dizaines de milliers de pèlerins dans sa petite maison du nord de Denver. Schlatter aurait refusé toutes les rétributions pour ses services. Son mode de vie est des plus simples, et il n'enseigne aucune nouvelle doctrine.

Il a seulement dit qu'il obéit à un pouvoir qu'il appelle Père, et que de ce pouvoir il a reçu son pouvoir de guérison.

Dans la nuit du 13 novembre 1895, il disparaît subitement, laissant derrière lui un message dans lequel il a écrit que sa mission est terminée.

Après sa mort
En 1897, l'écrivain et suffragette  publie  The Life of the Harp in the Hand of the Harper (La vie de la harpe dans la main du harpeur), un livre qui raconte la retraite de trois mois du guérisseur dans son ranch des , au Nouveau-Mexique, après sa disparition de Denver.

Le livre, comportant le nom que le guérisseur s'était donné, contenait également une description à la première personne de son pèlerinage de deux ans, qui, selon lui, avait la même signification pour l'humanité que les quarante jours du Christ dans le désert. En quittant le ranch de Morley, Schlatter lui aurait dit que Dieu avait l'intention d'établir la Nouvelle Jérusalem dans les Datil Mountains, et lui aurait promis de revenir à ce moment-là.

Au même moment, on apprend que les os et les biens du guérisseur ont été trouvés à flanc de montagne dans la Sierra Madre au Mexique. Mais Ada Morley, qui avait souvent rendu visite à Schlatter lors de son séjour de trois mois dans son ranch au Nouveau-Mexique au début de 1896, avait des doutes. Le New York Times du 19 juin 1897 exprimait les mêmes doutes : « Il ne semble pas que les restes humains aient été réellement identifiés comme étant ceux de Schlatter, ni qu'une identification ait été possible ».

Dans son roman autobiographique Inferno, August Strindberg décrit Francis Schlatter comme le doppelgänger d'un autre homme, rencontré par Strindberg à Paris en 1896, l'année suivant la disparition de Schlatter. Il avait peur de Schlatter. Le « double » s'est avéré être Paul Herrmann, un peintre germano-américain.

La baguette de cuivre du guérisseur
En 1906, , archéologue réputé et directeur de musée, mène des recherches près de Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, au Mexique, lorsque son guide mexicain lui signale une tombe non marquée. Dix ans auparavant, lui raconte le guide, il était tombé sur le corps d'un homme mort à la suite d'une tempête ; d'après la description du guide, Hewett en déduit que l'homme mort était Francis Schlatter que Hewett avait rencontré et dont il avait observé les séances de guérison en 1895.

Hewett demande au guide si l'un des biens de l'homme avait été sauvegardé, le guide le conduit à la maison du shérif de Casas Grandes, où Hewett peut voir la Bible, la selle et la baguette de cuivre de Schlatter, devenues la marque mystérieuse du guérisseur depuis sa disparition.

Des années plus tard, en 1922, Hewett retourne au Mexique et examine à nouveau la baguette de cuivre. Alors directeur de la School of American Research (maintenant la School for Advanced Research) et du Musée du Nouveau-Mexique, il montre son intérêt pour la baguette et fait un don au village de Casas Grandes pour embaucher un enseignant. De retour à Santa Fe, quelques semaines plus tard, il reçoit, enveloppée de toile de jute, la baguette de cuivre de Francis Schlatter qu'il installe dans les collections du Musée d'histoire du Nouveau-Mexique dans le Palais des Gouverneurs à Santa Fe, où la baguette se trouve encore de nos jours.

Imposteurs
Plusieurs hommes prétendant être Francis Schlatter font la une des journaux dans tout le pays en 1909, 1916 et 1922.

L'un d'eux, un pasteur presbytérien nommé Charles McLean, mort à Hastings dans le Nebraska en 1909, suscite une controverse entre les sceptiques et les croyants. Deux autres, August Schrader et Jacob Kunze, ont formé une équipe de guérison qui a fonctionné entre 1908 et 1917, ils sont arrêtés et emprisonnés en 1916 pour fraude postale. En 1910, à Toledo, Ohio, un certain Francis Schlatter est arrêté pour "fraude", mais la photographie sur le document de la police ne ressemble pas à celles qu'on connait du Schlatter d'avant 1896.

Un dernier guérisseur meurt à Saint-Louis, (Missouri), en octobre 1922.
Au cours de la seconde moitié du  siècle, le regain d'intérêt pour Schlatter se porté sur le guérisseur décédé à Saint-Louis. Plus récemment en 2016 David N. Wetzel dans The Vanishing Messiah: The Life and Resurrections of Francis Schlatter soutient que le guérisseur a mis en scène sa mort dans les montagnes du Mexique puis est retourné aux États-Unis pour continuer à guérir dans les parties est et sud du pays jusqu'à sa mort à Saint-Louis en 1922. Le postulat de l'auteur repose en partie sur la découverte d'une autobiographie, longtemps oubliée à la Bibliothèque du Congrès, intitulée Modern Miracles of Healing: A True Account of the Life, Works and Wanderings of Francis Schlatter, the Healer, attribuée à « Francis Schlatter, The Alsacian » et publiée en 1903.

"Patrick Dintino has mastered the art of seamlessly transitioning from color to color in his abstract blends. His oil paintings have a soothing meditative quality about them, allowing viewers to focus on nothing and everything simultaneously as they immerse themselves in the comforting continuities of his compositions. To lighten things up a bit, he also shows he can achieve similar effects with fishing lures and discarded lottery tickets."

Early human development and the chief sources of information on staged human embryos.
In a brief historical survey, the importance of Wilhelm His, senior, to human embryology is emphasized. He provided the impetus to Mall to establish the Carnegie Embryological Collection, which serves as a 'Bureau of Standards' for early human development. The Carnegie system of 23 stages for the embryonic period proper (first 8 postovulatory wk) is outlined, and some common misusages are noted. Finally, because of the difficulty in tracking down data based on staged human embryos, an annotated list of more than 40 key references is provided.

Brazil Rock in Rio's social project Amazonia set for largest Amazon restoration
A major initiative has been announced that will seek to reclaim 30,000 hectares of degraded area within the Brazilian Amazon over the next six years, making it the largest restoration project ever seen in the region
The project sees Rock in Rio's social project Amazonia Live joining forces with the Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Programme to plant an estimated 73 million trees by 2023, with the Brazilian Ministry of Environment, the Global Environment Facility, the World Bank and the Brazilian Fund for Biodiversity also aiding in the ambitious, large-scale campaign. Three million trees covering 1200 hectares of the area will be the direct result of an initial contribution from Rock in Rio and Ci-Brasil, as well as donations from the general public and support from festival sponsors.
The project will see a range of different methods being applied, such as seeding of selected species that are native to the rainforest, the enrichment of existing secondary forests, nurturing and fostering natural regeneration and when necessary, direct planting of native species. The selected areas that will be given priority for the project are the southern regions in the state of Amazonas, including Rondonia, Acre, and Para.
Started in 2016, Amazonia Live was created by the Rock in Rio Festival with an aim to plant one million trees in the Amazon and to publicise the importance of conservationism and preservation. Following a partnership with CI-Brasil, the initial campaign resulted in two million trees being planted at the headwaters of the Xingu River, and further investment from the Amazon Protected Areas Program helped the project acquire one million seedlings of natural species to be added in the state of Amazonas.
"For the first time we are adopting a single cause worldwide that will be promoted in all the countries where Rock in Rio is present and will extend through several editions of the event. With this action, we will attract the attention of the whole world to an urgent problem and show that it is possible, especially, to plant hope. We started with one million trees; today we want 73 million," said Roberto Medina, president of Rock in Rio.

Sit down, roared Ruth. And down sat the First Minister.
Posted bystephenjdaisley	 March 29, 2017 April 11, 2017
1 Comment on Sit down, roared Ruth. And down sat the First Minister.
Parliamentary clashes are all about the leaders but sometimes you have to peer past them, to the next generation, to grasp the mood in any given party.
Nicola Sturgeon had come to Holyrood's independence debate as the First Minister, in rhetoric at least, and issued a plea for civility.
She told MSPs: 'Many others across our country will follow the example that we set in the chamber, so let us ensure that it is the right one. Let us recognise and accept that we are all sincere in the opinions that we hold and always remind ourselves that the person on the other side of the debate is not an enemy, but simply someone with a different but still valid point of view.'
This was very high-minded though coming from Nicola Sturgeon it was a bit like the head swordsman of the Yakuza calling for the Mafia to dial back the leg-breaking. Ruth Davidson was punchier. At one point, Miss Sturgeon leapt to her feet (attached to a recently contentious pair of legs) and readied a devastating comeback to some Tory taunting.
'Sit down,' scolded Miss Davidson. You've never heard a sound like 128 breaths hurtling to the backs of throats at the same time. Down sat the First Minister, stunned. The SNP benches sputtered in disbelief, like a devout congregation encountering blasphemy for the first time.
But the best speeches came from the up-and-comers across the parties. And noticeably, the young pretenders struck a more conciliatory tone.
Ben Macpherson, one of the smart cookies of the SNP, urged friend and foe alike to drop labels like 'nationalist' and 'unionist'. Politicians had to follow the example of the public, who, he assured us, were champing at the bit for another referendum. It was the talk of Scotland's coffee shops and supermarkets, said Macpherson, who apparently can't nip out for a bag of frozen peas without being accosted by voters armed with dog-eared copies of the Claim of Right.
The Lib Dems' Alex Cole-Hamilton was on fine form. As he described his determination to see the UK return one day to the European Union, the Nat benches scoffed. 'That is my party's policy,' Cole-Hamilton shot back. 'I have been fighting for lost causes all my life.'
Andy Wightman doesn't quite represent the next generation, though who knows given the malleable definition of the term these days, but he is the strongest, most persuasive voice in the Scottish Greens. He was careful to acknowledge that 'the prospect of another referendum on independence is not welcomed by some voters'; for them, 'the referendum in 2014 was not the joyous civic carnival that it is sometimes portrayed as'.
Mr Wightman tried to justify his party's ratting on a manifesto pledge to let the public decide on indyref2. He was doing a half-decent job until he brought up the cherished Green principle of 'radical democracy'. Neil Findlay, the bolshie imp of the Scottish Labour benches, piped up: 'Radical democracy? It's pretty radical to have a referendum, lose by 10%, then completely ignore the result. But it's hardly democratic.'
Kate Forbes, who keeps her vowels in a glass case and polishes each one before and after use, said independence was like a boat. We needed a map to chart the course of the boat. But Brexit meant there was no map. So the boat wasn't going anywhere and that's why we needed a second referendum. By this point, her analogy was on the rocks and Miss Forbes' colleagues were sending up distress flares. Then she read out a poem in Gaelic. It didn't have much to do with the debate in hand but it was a welcome change of pace.
The common thread running through the Nationalist contributions was the 'sovereign will of the Scottish people', a rousing notion that has no constitutional purchase or legal force but which is nonetheless beloved of Nationalists. That they were praying it in aid to push a second referendum the country doesn't want, is curious but inadvertently helpful. We finally have a definition of this nebulous concept: Nicola is sovereign and the Scottish people will do what she says.

The part of the warehouse that stocks smaller items is three stories tall. Automated conveyors weave through that, allowing pickers to drop items into bins. The system moves bins to the next relevant area based on what items are on the orders.
Who would have thought that a business started by a guy working on gun parts from his bed, while suffering from Meniere's Disease back in 1939, would have grown into one of the country's largest retailers of gun parts, accessories, ammunition, and just about everything else related to shooting?
Yet that's exactly what happened. Back in 1939, when times were tough, Bob Brownell got resourceful and figured out a way to solve a market need that would support his family. Over the years, Brownells has grown under the leadership of Bob's son Frank, and Frank's son Pete. Nowadays, Frank tends to strategic industry relationships while Pete guides the day-to-day business of the company.
Here's one of the two primary video studios used to produce instructional videos.
How large have they gotten? How about somewhere north of 84,000 unique shooting and accessory products? If you put one product in each chair of Madison Square Garden, you'd fill it up – over 4 and a half times. The day we toured the warehouse, we walked by three large rolls of aluminum sheeting. Brownell's uses those to make their own AR-15 magazines. Each of those three rolls turns into 20,000 magazines, so the three together would make enough magazines to line up seven miles. Or, if you stacked all those mags on their sides, it would make a pile taller than the Empire State Building. Three and a half times taller, actually. You get the idea—Brownells handles massive volumes of shooting gear.

Q: phpspreadsheet : getCalculatedValue don't get the calculated value I'm using the library phpspreadsheet, and I have a problem on one of my cell.
In my excel I got :

C
D

8
12% (calculated by excel with complicated formula)
12% (formula : =C8)

The cell D8 value is "=C8" but when I read it with getCalculatedValue I don't get the value of C8 (12%) but literally "=C8".
<?php
$my_spreadsheet->getSheetByName('first sheet')->getCell("D8")->isFormula(); #true
$my_spreadsheet->getSheetByName('first sheet')->getCell("D8")->getCalculatedValue(); #=C8
$my_spreadsheet->getSheetByName('first sheet')->getCell("D8")->getFormattedValue(); #=C8
$my_spreadsheet->getSheetByName('first sheet')->getCell("D8")->getValue(); #=C8

The formula are mostly well calculated, but I have some cell that are not calculated like the one above, they are all formatted as percent.
Did I have a corrupted cell or did I miss a parameter?
P.S. Sorry for the english

A: Could it be that you use
$Reader->setReadDataOnly( true );
this says read only the data and that you can't use the calculation more information see here.
Remove above line or set it to false.
A other possibility is that you not configuration the calculation engine right. Please check link above.

Q: Delay the jQuery animation How do I delay the jQuery animation on my page until all CSS images are loaded?

A: Use the window.onload event instead of document.ready via .load(), like this:
$(window).load(function() {
  //animate things
});

The main difference here is that images are loaded, where they may or may not be on ready, since it's looking to see that the DOM is loaded, not necessarily extra content in it, like images.

A: use the onload event.
$(window).bind('load', function() {
   // do the animation
});
