DASH7, Haystack & the Internet of Things.
DASH7 is the ultra-low-power wireless Internet of Things protocol stack created by Haystack now utilized by dozens of applications and integrated into an international industry alliance. Haystack uses the Mode 2 D16 spec version, which is the most advanced and most modern version.
OpenTag is the open source firmware code that implements DASH7. Usually compiles into less than 40KB and is free for non-commercial use.
HayTag is an ultra low power, DASH7-based IoT node supporting wireless range of greater than 1km outdoors, and typically greater than 250m indoors. HayTag is rugged and environmentally sealed, and it charges its battery using solar energy harvesting.
OpenTag is the DASH7 firmware stack created by Haystack. HDO adds essential features and optimizations to OpenTag that make it ready to perform in demanding IoT deployments.
Haystack's H-Builder provides software tools for integrating Internet data systems with Haystack/DASH7 IoT networking.
Haystack has over a decade of experience supporting Internet of Things projects, particularly using low-power wireless connectivity, and also with all things DASH7.
What is included with The Haystack?
The Haystack is, first and foremost, a certified release of DASH7 OpenTag called HDO. We include patches, bug fixes, and updates to OpenTag. The Haystack also includes a growing portfolio of starter applications, DASH7 enhancements like our proprietary Reed-Solomon error correction, reference designs, and other tools to make developing for DASH7 as simple as possible. All releases of The Haystack have manifest files for all packages in the distribution (e.g. OpenTag, Haystack Server Applications, iOS applications, documentation).
What license is used by The Haystack 1.0 (which includes OpenTag)?
Just like OpenTag, Haystack's version of OpenTag is released under the modified BSD license known as The OpenTag License. Haystack tools, applications, and other non-OpenTag assets are licensed under a Haystack-specific license.
Is the Source for The Haystack Including OpenTag Available?
Yes: we package our code in hex-file, library, and source form. Hex-files are archived based on the featuresets they include, and they can be flashed onto supported hardware quickly and easily. Users demanding a greater degree of customization may also compile OpenTag together with Haystack libraries or source code distributions. These packages drop-in easily into OpenTag, so engineers familiar with embedded system programming can easily patch-in their changes, or build for platforms we do not yet certify.
Which Silicon Platforms Are Supported?
Most of the Haystack additions to OpenTag are platform-independent, so it is easy for us to support all of the platforms supported by OpenTag. Today, we support several MCUs of the ARM Cortex M family, and several radio devices from major vendors such as ST, TI, Semtech (including LoRa), and others. Some of these devices are integrated in SoC or SiP form factors. We are also interested to know which silicon platforms you would like to see next.
What is the Relationship Between OpenTag and The Haystack?
OpenTag is an open source firmware library that implements some elements of the DASH7 Mode 2 specification using a modified BSD license (i.e. The OpenTag License). We incorporate OpenTag into The Haystack, which is a superset of OpenTag.
How Does Haystack Work with Low Power Wide Area Networks like LoRa?
Haystack can be deployed over many PHY layers including that of LoRa and other similar networks. For more information on specifics ports of HDO to LPWANs, email us at info@haystacktechnologies.com.
How Does Haystack Work with Near Field Communications (NFC)?
We are strong advocates for the mobile telephony industry to embrace an alternative to WiFi or Bluetooth for most internet of things applications. A longer range/lower power connectivity option that does not require high cost components (like LTE) and that can support multi-year battery life on stand-alone sensing devices is highly sought after by IoT developers around the world and the existence of NFC means the potential to use a smartphone as a "command and control center" for the IoT is within our grasp. Haystack does not design NFC silicon for this purpose however we await the industry's next steps in this regard. More info here.
Who Should Use The Haystack?
The Haystack is being built to assist companies in search of a faster, cheaper way to bring long-range, low power IoT products to market. Few companies have the same depth of understanding of DASH7 as has Haystack Technologies, or the same access to support resources, so working with us will benefit most companies seeking to develop DASH7 products. Today, The Haystack is targeted at developers with at least some basic understanding of embedded systems development, e.g. fluency with Arduino and C compiling tools.
How Much Does The Haystack Cost?
The Haystack is in beta and terms of our licensing program are available under NDA by clicking here.
What is Included With Haystack Support?
Haystack Support consists of two main components: self-driven support, and live support. Self-driven support currently includes the The Haystack Support Wiki, The Haystack Q&A site, and The Haystack Download center.
How Much Does Haystack Support Cost?
Haystack support packages start at just $1,000/year for basic support with additional packages available with phone and email support.
Is DASH7 An Open Standard?
Yes: DASH7 is a specification developed by the DASH7 Alliance that has been submitted to ISO as a New Work Item Proposal.
Is DASH7 limited to 433 MHz?
No. DASH7 can be deployed across many sub-1GHz radio frequencies and in addition to Haystack's "classic" physical layer at 433 MHz, DASH7 can support emerging radio technologies like LoRa, NB-IoT, and others.

Is Haystack's patent portfolio license included with The Haystack license?

A tiny turfgrass pest appears to be on the increase according to researchers and lawn care experts.
Bermudagrass stunt mite damaged grass (left) is bunchy and brown. Normal bermudagrass is on the right.
The Bermudagrass stunt mite (BSM), Eriophes cynodoniensis, is one of our tiniest arthropod pests of lawns. A relative of the mite that transmits rose rosette disease, the BSM lives inside the leaf sheaths of grass. In home yards it is pretty common (but not often recognized by homeowners as a pest). Golf course managers, on the other hand, who are expected to consistently provide billiard table-smooth putting surfaces, consider BSM a real threat.
Reasons for the increased reports of BSM may include the loss of some older insecticides, a trend toward higher mowing heights and less irrigation, and possibly the use of newer, more susceptible grass varieties.
The BSM feeds only on bermudagrass (though there are closely related species that feed on buffalograss and zoysiagrass). When the mite feeds under the leaf sheaths the leaves start to yellow and twist. As the grass tries to grow, the gaps between the leaves get shorter and shorter, resulting in a bunchy, "witches broom" appearance. Eventually the leaves and stems die, probably as a result of a toxin injected into the grass by the mite. Look for areas of stunted, green to brown grass, and dead spots in a lawn. You can identify BSM damage by the stunted, tufted appearance of the grass around the edges of the dead spots.
Once you have seen and recognize the damage caused by this mite, you will notice it in a lot more places, especially in sites with poor or no irrigation. In my own yard for several years I commonly saw BSM damage in the median strip between sidewalk and street. Since upgrading my sprinkler system, however, I see fewer signs of these mites.
Bermudagrass mite damage symptoms resemble grub damage or poor watering. When inspecting brown spots in a lawn, look for the characteristic tufts of bunchy grass around the edge of brown spots in the lawn.
Dr. J.C. Chong, of Clemson University, got interested in this mite about 10 years ago, and found no one else studying it. Today he has devoted as much time as anyone to studying these tiny pests. His knowledge about BSM is in especially high demand this year, he says.
According to Chong, the last time anyone bothered to studying control of BSM was in the early 1980s. At the time, the best insecticide by far was diazinon. Now that diazinon is no longer available due to environmental concerns, we have few comparable products.
Part of the problem is that there are few researchers with time or funding to study BSM. Another problem common to turfgrass pests is that it is difficult to know if and where mites will show up in a large enough area to design a good insecticide trial.
Bifenthrin is a commonly available lawn and garden insecticide, and usually provides decent mite control. But experts vary in their opinions the effectiveness of bifenthrin against BSM. Bifenthrin and a couple of other similar insecticides, such as lambda-cyhalothrin and deltamethrin, carry labels for mite control in turfgrass. While these products may provide some control, don't expect miracles, say experts.
Chong himself has had little success with bifenthrin, regardless of timing. In trials conducted between 2011 and 2015, he found an insecticide called avermectin to be the best treatment after diazinon. But avermectin (Avid 0.15EC) is not sold in most garden centers to consumers (it can be purchased online). When using avermectin, Chong recommends multiple (up to four) applications every two weeks.
Perhaps the best approach for the average consumer is to use bifenthrin or one of its similar products in combination with very close mowing and increased irrigation. Before applying insecticide, experts recommend lowering the mower and cutting the grass very close to the ground (scalping). This will remove many of the infested grass tufts (and mites) and open the grass canopy to permit better spray coverage. Bagging your clippings and disposing of them off site will ensure that the mites are not just spread around by the mowing operation. Also, make sure the area gets well watered until the grass has time to recover.
Despite years of field trials, Chong notes that there is still a lot to learn, especially when it comes to combining insecticides with different cultural practices like mowing, irrigation and varietal selection. Experience with BSM demonstrates that, at least for some pests, it's not always easy to come up with reliable management recommendations. For a pest like BSM, one pest can lead to a career's worth of work for some lucky entomologist.

The Start-Up Nation Changes Direction
Israel, since the beginning of the high-tech revolution in the early 90s, has rightly earned the title of "Start-Up Nation" given that it is one of the top five centers of technical creativity in the world. I say the top five because rankings vary but clearly outside of the United States, Israel has more start-ups in absolute terms than any country in the world, bar none. With approximately 3,000 of them extant at any given moment, most other country's stats pale by comparison.
But, of late, there has been a perceptible change in the makeup of the technology coming out of Israel. That change can be described as a switch from developing products to developing features and enhancements.
For example, in the past the things for which Israel was famous and which everyone acknowledged as transformational products included:
SanDisk's flash drive that enables people to store tens of gigabytes of data on a USB-accessible key.
Computer chips that allowed Intel to dramatically increase the storage and operational capabilities of laptops without increasing the heat output of the processor.
Development of the stent that allows patients with clogged arteries to have them opened and kept open permanently.
Mobileye's collision avoidance technology (using sophisticated vision algorithms) that 'interprets' a scene in real-time and provides drivers with an immediate evaluation based on its analysis. Automakers are now adopting this technology into their rapidly expanding safety feature applications known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
These are just a few examples of the tech product development that went on for years in Israel and contributed to Israel's start-up nation reputation.
But lately, as we meet young startups seeking funding and strategic partners, we are noticing that the focus has turned to developing features and enhancements rather than specific products. Some current examples:
SCREEMO helps retailers to engage with their customers in real-time and to create a call to action by using fun, engaging games that run on digital screens and attract customers to interact using their smartphones. This enables retailers to drive up sales, create a social buzz or promote their products and services.
Rail Safe has developed an infra-red based technology that provides locomotive engineers with the ability to "see" up to two kilometers down the track, even in the dark and independent of any negative weather conditions such as rain, snow, sandstorms, and fog. For example, the technology would have averted the head-on collision of two commuter trains in Germany last week that killed so many people.
TriDiNetworkshas developed an innovative cloud based platform for wireless M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and IoT (Internet of Things) networks. The platform enables unprecedented low total cost of ownership and quick ROI based on patented algorithms, methods, tools and products. It is applicable for lighting and HVAC control, smart meters, home automation, smart appliances and wearable devices.
In each of these cases the developers have created a feature or enhancement that makes current activities either safer, more efficient or more profitable.
For those who worry about whether Israel as start-up nation is at risk of losing its "Mojo," these new directions emanating from local techies clearly illustrate that the creative community here is well ahead of the curve and fully understands where the new opportunities are in technological development. This response augurs well in favor of Israel's continued superiority as the start-up nation.

Next month the AG accompanied by Secretary of Samoan Affairs Mauga Tasi Asuega will attend the United Nations Caribbean Regional Seminar on Implementation of the Third International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism held in Managua, Nicaragua May 19 to 21, 2015.
Talauega explained that Chapter XI of the United Nations Charter calls on the colonial powers to help — what he characterized as former colonies — to become independent. He said the UN prepares a list of "former colonies" that are still today dependent on their "former colonial powers".
"We are in that boat," he said, "We are a territory of the U.S. and we rely on the U.S. for a lot of things, but we also do not have the independence that the U.N. deems each country to have."
He explained that to be removed from the list, "you don't have be independent, you can become closer and become more part of the U.S. That's what happened to Hawai'i, they are no longer on the list because they became a state."
He said the question that this poses is, how close do we have to be to the United States to no longer be a colony of the U.S.? Becoming a state is one option for being removed from that list; and another option is to move away from the U.S. — still have some relationship with the U.S. but be more independent. He gave examples like Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia — both former territories.
"That's the debate and the discussion that the governor would like the cabinet to engage in with the community, to determine where we want to be. There's also a discussion about whether the status quo is sufficient. Many of leaders have come to the conclusion that the status quo is unsatisfactory and it's not economically safe for us because of our inability to have some control over our resources and over our land."
The AG urged the cabinet members to go through the draft document, which reflects the governor's views on what we should say to the United Nations about our relationship with the United States.
Talauega told the Cabinet members that he, Mauga and the governor welcome constructive comments, whether positive or negative.
Chapter XI of the United Nations Charter says, "The administering nations have committed to develop self-government, to take due account of the political aspirations of the peoples, and to assist them in the progressive development of their free political institutions, according to the particular circumstances of each territory and its peoples and their varying stages of development."
"In my view, much of what Chapter XI encourages has already occurred with respect to American Samoa's relationship with the United States of America. Indeed, by any measure, our union with the United States has resulted in substantial benefits to the people and government of American Samoa," Governor Lolo says in his draft letter.
"But despite the many benefits of our relationship, it is my firm belief that American Samoa's current political status as an unincorporated and unorganized territory of the United States is neither sustainable nor economically secure. Moreover, it lacks appropriate vestiges of self-governance as required by the UN Charter.
"There are numerous examples of benefits enjoyed by American Samoa under its current status and most important to many American Samoans, has been the protection of the culture and the protection of communal land tenure system that is a foundation of our culture."
The draft document goes on to describe what Lolo says are "significant political, economic, social and educational advancement" in the ensuing years of our relationship with the U.S., which began with a Naval Commandant, gave way to government through a Department of Interior-appointed Governor, and then in 1978 gave way to a government under a locally elected Governor. He notes the election of our senators "by Samoan custom rather than by popular vote, and a Judiciary."
Of our economic growth, Lolo points to the American tuna industry being a "key provider of manufacturing jobs in the territory, and along with government, the largest employer and driver of the economy.
"That said, economic growth commensurate with population growth and the cost of living in the modern world, has not been sufficient to enable the territory to subsist without subsidies from the United States."
Pointing to the many social and educational advancements over the recent half century, as being significant, Lolo says our improved standard of living is well above that of our island neighbors, with "mandatory education from K through 12th grade, including U.S. accredited high schools and an accredited community college now offering four year degrees in specialized areas." He says "American Samoa has come some considerable distance since our forefathers made the voluntary decision to cede sovereignty over our islands to the United States, which accepted the Deeds of Cession by Act of Congress in 1929."
However, Lolo says, "notwithstanding these major developments, there are significant shortfalls in our form of government.
"For example, our government continues to exist by virtue of delegation of authority from the President of the United States, to the U.S. Department of Interior, and then to us.
"Our Legislature cannot override a veto of a bill by the Governor without the approval of the Secretary of Interior, and our Constitution cannot be amended without the approval of Congress, despite Congress never having approved our Constitution to begin with.
"The Secretary of Interior continues to appoint the senior members of our Judiciary."
Lolo stated that American Samoa's legal status is indeed a relic of colonial days that needs to be remedied for us to meet what we believe to be the standards for consideration for de-listing by the Committee.
"But whether the territory is de-listed or not, what is more important to us, is the fact that our current legal status, as temporally satisfactory as it may be, leaves us exposed to vagaries in Washington D.C. that are beyond our control."
Our unique size, location, geography, and economic circumstance contribute to this problem, Lolo says, adding that "this exposure is exacerbated by the fact that American Samoa does not have appropriate representation in Congress."
"Our one delegate to Congress is a non-voting member of the House of Representatives. We have no representation in the Senate — each of the 50 states has two senators in the Senate."
He said American Samoa is also exposed to actions arising out of litigation in the U.S. Federal Courts that may contrive to have a judge in a remote courtroom issue a judgment that could impact the legal status of our people under the U.S. Constitution (such as the citizenship case now pending in Washington, D.C.).
Lolo further states that our political status exposes American Samoa to bullying tactics of federal agencies.
He uses as examples of this type of bullying the recent actions of "the Federal Aviation Agency (prohibiting the American Samoa Government from using approximately 325 acres of local government land without prior approval of the FAA, as a condition to releasing federal funds which are rightfully due to American Samoa for its airport operations) and the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (authorizing large longline fishing boats to invade the protective 50-mile zone around American Samoa, which was previously preserved for fishing by local alias and traditional Samoan fishermen).
"Until we are able to cast our political status in a concrete fashion, giving us concrete protections, the fact we live under a delegation of authority from Washington, D.C., will haunt us with the possibilities of action being taken from far away that impacts upon us in ways we cannot anticipate nor for which we can adequately plan."
Samoa News will report on the second part of the draft letter in later editions.

A cotton ball soaked in alcohol, clamped by a hemostat, is lit on fire.
The lit cotton ball is held inside the hollow cup for a few seconds to "burn off" the oxygen within the cup and create a vacuum.
The cotton ball is removed and the "vaccum-ized" cup is quickly placed onto the skin's surface creating a sealed off section.
The vacuum created with the cup(s) draws blood and lymph to the area, promoting circulation and healing.
A variant of the above method is 'Slide Cupping,' where the application is the same but massage oil or liniment is applied before the cups - this allows for a 'sliding/gliding' movement once the cups are in place. In general, slide cupping feels like a soothing deep tissue massage.

Kate Middleton stuns in turquoise-coloured traditional wear as she visits mosque in Pakistan
WION Web Team
New Delhi, Delhi, India Published: Oct 17, 2019, 05.38 PM(IST)
Prince WIlliam and Kate Middleton visit Pakistan's mosque Photograph:( AFP )
This is the same mosque that Diana saw during her 1991 visit to the country.
Kate Middleton and Prince William are headlining Pakistan and British media with their ongoing visit. There seems to be a lot of talk around the similarities of the current batch of royals and their trip to that of late Princess Diana's to Pakistan.
The couple now also made a stop at the famous Badshahi mosque in Lahore on Thursday, the same place that Diana saw during her 1991 visit to the country. Princess Diana walked barefoot into the iconic Islamic site, wearing a green coat dress by Catherine Walker with a headscarf. Kate picked a turquoise-coloured dress but for her it was a full-length salwar kameez with a dupatta that covered her head. She too walked barefoot in the mosque.
Meanwhile, Prince William was seen in a suit and black socks.
William's father too has visited the site but with his current wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. He visited in 2016.
There were also some talks of comparison between Kate's and Meghan's attire as the latter too visited a mosque recently on an official trip. Meghan wore an olive coloured maxi dress with a cream-coloured headscarf for the visit. Kate's choice of garments have meanwhile won her a number of fans in Pakistan.
As for the Cambridges, the couple then headed to the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, another spot that Princess Diana visited. They also made some time for the SOS Children's Village, a charity in Lahore that provides a home and family structure to over 150 boys and girls, to celebrate the birthdays of three children. Kate wore a traditional cream shalwar kameez by Gul Ahmed and shawl by Maheem Khan.

Have you ever been hastily acquired knowledge or skill as a stopgap measure?
Such a not-so-great measure is called 'tsukeyakiba' (付け焼き刃) in Japanese.
In the past, swordsmiths sometimes attached a burnt steel blade to a blunt sword as a stopgap measure.
Swords made by striking metal materials repeatedly were sharp and long-lasting, whereas swords with 'tsukeyakiba' were not durable.
Because of this, inefficient hastily knowledge or skill has come to be referred to as 'tsukeyakiba' (付け焼き刃).

Pixar's 'Incredibles 2' Nabs 11 Annie Award Nominations
Brad Bird's sequel and Disney's "Ralph Breaks the Internet" grabbed 21 nominations all told, while Sony's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" nabbed seven.
Bill Desowitz
Dec 3, 2018 11:23 am
@BillDesowitz
Pixar's Oscar-frontrunner "Incredibles 2" led the pack for ASIFA-Hollywood's 46th Annie Awards (February 2nd at UCLA's Royce Hall) with 11 nominations, followed by Disney's "Ralph Breaks the Internet" with 10.
Tied for third was Sony's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and Aardman's "Early Man" with seven. This gives an Oscar boost to "Spider-Verse" and its innovative Miles Morales origin story.
The biggest surprises were in the shorts competition, with Pixar's Oscar frontrunner, "Bao," getting shut out along with DreamWorks' two contenders, "Bilby" and "Bird Karma."
Joining "Incredibles 2," "Ralph Breaks the Internet," "Into the Spider-Verse," and "Early Man" for animated feature is Wes Anderson's stop-motion "Isle of Dogs." Competing in the indie race are GKids' "Mirai" and "MFKZ," Sony Classics' "Ruben Brandt, Collector," Shout! Studio's "Tito and the Birds," and "Ce Magnifique Gâteau!"
"Incredibles 2" also picked up nominations for effects, character animation, character design, Brad Bird's directing and screenwriting, Michael Giacchino's score, two for storyboarding, Holly Hunter's voice acting, and editing.
Rich Moore and Phil Johnston's "Ralph" kept pace but landed only a single storyboard nod. Moore and Johnston were nominated for writing and directing, Sarah Silverman was nominated for her voice honors, and composers Henry Jackman and Alan Menken were nominated for music along with lyricists Johnston, Dan Reynolds, and Phil McDougall.
"Into the Spider-Verse" was also nominated for directors Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, and Rodney Rothman, writers Phil Lord and Rothman, character animation, character design, Justin Thompson's production design, and editing.

3.1 Editorial staff
3.2 Circulation
Founded in 1959 as Record Retailer, it relaunched on 18 March 1972 as Music Week. On 17 January 1981, the title again changed, owing to the increasing importance of sell-through videos, to Music & Video Week. The rival Record Business, founded in 1978 by Brian Mulligan and Norman Garrod, was absorbed into Music Week in February 1983. Later that year, the offshoot Video Week launched and the title of the parent publication reverted to Music Week.
Since April 1991, Music Week has incorporated Record Mirror, initially as a 4 or 8-page chart supplement, later as a dance supplement of articles, reviews and charts. In the 1990s, several magazines and newsletters become part of the Music Week family: Music Business International (MBI), Promo, MIRO Future Hits, Tours Report, Fono, Green Sheet, Charts+Plus (published from May 1991 to November 1994), and Hit Music (September 1992 to May 2001). By May 2001, all newsletters (except Promo) closed.
In 2003, Music Week relaunched its website of daily news, features, record release listings and UK sales, airplay and club charts. In early 2006, a separate free-to-access site for the Music Week Directory listed 10,000 contacts in the UK music industry. In mid-2007, the magazine was redesigned by London company This Is Real Art. In October 2008, another redesign led to major changes.
In June 2011, Music Week was sold to Intent Media.[5][6][7] The package was sold for £2.4m[6][7] and also contained titles Television Broadcast Europe, Pro Sound News, Installation Europe, and additional websites, newsletters, conferences, show dailies and awards events, which generated £5.4m of revenue in 2010.[7] As of issue 30 July 2011, UBM is still named as publisher,[8] as the new publisher Intent Media took over on 1 August 2011.[9] In the first edition under new ownership it was announced that the title would switch its day of publication Monday to Thursday with immediate effect.[10] NewBay Media acquired Intent Media in 2012.[11] Future acquired NewBay Media in 2018.[12][13]
Charts[edit]
Music Week features these British charts: Top 75 Singles, Top 75 Artist Albums, Top 20 Downloads, Top 20 Ringtones, Top 20 Compilation Albums, Top 50 Radio Airplay, Top 40 TV airplay, and a number of format and genre charts (Music DVD, Rock, Indie, etc.). It also includes background on sales and airplay analysis from Alan Jones. Following a redesign in October 2008, the magazine introduced live charts based on Tixdaq data, a Box Office chart and predictive charts based on information from Amazon, Play.com, Shazam, HMV.com and Last.fm. Music Week compiles and publishes weekly club charts from chart returns supplied by DJs in nightclubs Upfront Club Top 40, Commercial Pop Top 30 and Urban Top 30. Music Week publishes a weekly Cool Cuts chart compiled from DJ feedback and sales reports from independent record shops.
Publishing details[edit]
Music Week is published weekly (50 editions p.a.). It is available as a B4-sized printed magazine and a PDF digital edition. ISSN 0265-1548.

Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar ready to spread love again
Get ready to laugh out loud with the comedy couple
Actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar made the audience laugh with their movie 'Dum Lagake Haisha' that hit the theatres on February 27, 2015. The unique on-screen couple is all set to return to the big screen with the upcoming movie 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan'. The romantic comedy flick will be directed by R.S Prasanna and will be produced under the banners Eros International and Color Yellow Productions.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar pose in Mumbai to promote their new film
Ayushmann and Bhumi were earlier signed for the project 'Manmarziyan'. The movie went on floors but due to certain issues the movie had to be shelved. The makers of the movie revealed the first look of the movie which features Ayushmann and Bhumi all smiles like a couple.
The chemistry of the actors has earlier managed to win the hearts of the audience and the new project looks interesting.
To get comedy straight in a movie is quite difficult, but these two have pulled it off with élan. Their comedic timing and on-screen chemistry has already proven to be a hit with their previous movie, Dum Lagake Haisha, and this one, too, looks like it's going to be another hit in the making. Hopefully, their humour and chemistry will have audiences captivated. Ayushmann has already established himself as a great actor, being able to emote a number of emotions on screen. Though Bhumi hasn't acted in a lot of films, she is proving to be great at what she does! Not a lot of Bollywood actors can pull off comedic roles, but these two are able to do it pretty easily. Just look at them – they look great together! The storyline to the movie is not yet out, but we will keep you posted as soon as we get the info!

Rita Ora' s new UK single clip has been released. The track titled Poison was shot in London and directed by Cameron Duddy, and in it we see the singer falling for two guys. She is seduced into becoming a model by a hipster photographer and gets wrapped up in his ways, but eventually, realizes it's not what she wants… so she runs back to her first love.
Rita Ora is working on the follow-up to her 2012 debut, which is due later this year.

Christmas is my favourite time of year. I love getting in the festive spirit as early as possible, so over the past few weeks Ollie and I have been doing lots of Christmas activities and crafts. When you've got a toddler at home, it can be hard to think of ways to entertain them. Especially if you get snowed in like we did last week and they start climbing the walls! All these activities are easy to prepare and can be done with things you already have around the house.
I love making salt dough for Ollie because you can use ingredients from the kitchen and it only takes a few minutes to prepare. We printed his hands into the salt dough and used cookie cutters to make ornaments for the tree. It's a great sensory activity for toddlers and you get a keepsake at the end.
Baking is one of my favourite Christmas activities because it's fun, easy and we get something tasty to eat at the end! This year we've made mince pies, jam tarts and gingerbread cookies. Wrap them in cellophane with some ribbon and a bow and you've got a lovely homemade and thrifty Christmas present!
This is a lovely rainy day activity, and it entertained Ollie for hours last week while we were snowed in. He's really into posting things and loves imaginative play, so this was the perfect activity for him. My Mum bought him a post box from Hobbycraft which I decorated, but you could easily make your own out of an old box. I glued card inside some envelopes to make them a bit more sturdy. We then got some stickers and stamps out and decorated our envelopes. We pretended we were posting them to different family members and sent a letter to Santa.
Sensory bins are really easy to prepare and give toddlers a great opportunity to explore new things. I used green and red rainbow rice as a filler for mine. I then added some Christmas bells and decorations, some snowy pinecones and cinnamon sticks for a lovely festive smell. I left it out in the kitchen as an invitation to play. Ollie loved scooping the rice up and listening to the noise it made.
Printing your own wrapping paper is a lovely way for your toddler to get creative and make something unique for friends and family. You can decorate your wrapping paper however you like, but I decided to go with vegetable printing as it's fun, cheap and easy to prepare. I used little potatoes and cut holly leaves and Christmas trees into them. We also used our cookie cutters and stamps to print some stars and snowflakes.
We printed on to some brown parcel paper, which you can pick up from places like The Range, B&M or the Post Office.
One of our favourite Christmas activities to do as a family is get dressed up warm and head out for a walk to look at all the lights. It's a lovely, free way to get in the festive spirit!
Get your craft supplies out and let the kids make their own Christmas cards. It's a good way to keep them entertained and make something nice for family members. If you want to get really creative, there are tons of ideas on Pinterest. You could use their hand or footprints, fingerprints or even their old artwork. Or just let them loose with the paint and glitter and see what they create.
This is a great one for cold wintery days. Grab all the sheets, duvets and pillows you can find, and build a big den in your living room. Get your comfy pyjamas on and snuggle up to watch Christmas films, or read some Christmas stories!

Sexy Sadie, tratto dal nono e omonimo album dei Beatles The Beatles, noto anche sotto la denominazione di White Album (album bianco) per via della sua copertina totalmente bianca, è un brano musicale attribuito al duo Lennon/McCartney, sebbene la paternità della composizione sia da accreditarsi al solo Lennon.

Il brano

Origini e storia
Il primo abbozzo del brano si fa risalire all'aprile 1968, nel giorno in cui George e John si trovavano sulla via verso Delhi dopo avere abbandonato Rishikesh, dove il gruppo aveva seguito un corso di meditazione trascendentale tenuto dal guru indiano Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
La guida spirituale, presentata l'anno precedente ai Beatles dalla moglie di George Harrison Pattie Boyd in un periodo particolarmente delicato del loro percorso esistenziale, aveva suscitato dapprima curiosità e fiducia nei membri del gruppo, specialmente in Harrison e Lennon. Quest'ultimo sosteneva fermamente che nel guru risiedeva la risposta a tutti i suoi problemi, che magari gli sarebbe stata elargita con una semplice e risolutiva frase, foriera di una verità talmente profonda e paradossale da cambiare radicalmente in lui il modo di concepire difficoltà e avversità.
Tuttavia questa frase tardava a venire, fintantoché il gruppo cominciò a nutrire seri dubbi sui metodi e sulla filosofia di vita del Maharishi.

Inoltre, il gruppo trovava alquanto inusuale come un sedicente santone potesse disporre di domestici, commercialisti e una dépendance di assoluto rispetto, oltre alla tenuta tutt'altro che spartana che vantava letti a baldacchino e centro benessere, alla ridondante presenza di belle donne e perfino alla piattaforma di decollo e atterraggio di un elicottero privato. Così, uno dopo l'altro, cominciarono a nutrire un crescente scetticismo nei confronti del Mahesh Yogi. Il primo a collidere con la personalità dell'indiano fu senz'altro Lennon, che arrivò addirittura a comporre una canzone finalizzata a denunciare la presunta truffa della quale erano stati oggetto.
La traccia assunse il titolo temporaneo di Maharishi, what have you done?. Successivamente, anche per evitare querele, il titolo fu mutato in Sexy Sadie. Malgrado ciò, inequivocabili risultano le allusioni alla trascorsa esperienza insieme al guru indiano.

Per esempio, nel verso «Sexy Sadie, what have you done? / You made a fool of everyone» ("Cos'hai fatto? / Ti sei presa gioco di tutti"), Lennon malcela il proprio astio verso l'effimera esperienza di felicità passata nella fastosa tenuta del maestro di meditazione trascendentale. Altri attacchi nei confronti dell'ambigua figura del Maharishi si hanno nei versi «However big you think you are» ("per quanto grande pensi d'essere"), «The world was waiting just for you» ("il mondo stava aspettando solamente te"), nel quale è palese l'allusione alla teoria di Lennon per la quale l'asiatico era null'altri che l'ennesimo truffatore megalomane corroso dalla bramosia verso il denaro.

Registrazione
Il brano vide la luce il 22 novembre 1968, con la pubblicazione dell'Album Bianco, ma la registrazione avvenne in quattro sedute in sala di incisione nel periodo 19 luglio-21 agosto dello stesso anno. John Lennon è la voce solista ed è impegnato alle chitarre e in un accompagnamento melodico con un organo Hammond; Paul McCartney è al basso, al pianoforte e come voce di sottofondo musicale insieme a George Harrison, il quale è alla chitarra solista; chiude lo schieramento il batterista Ringo Starr. La canzone si contraddistingue inoltre per il particolare arrangiamento curato dal produttore George Martin. Particolarità del brano sono soprattutto il controcanto e gli accordi delle cinque battute mediane, che riecheggiano quelli di Here, There and Everywhere.

Il brano nella cultura di massa

 La canzone è celebre per i suoi legami con l'assassino psicopatico Charles Manson e la sua "Family". Infatti, verso la fine del 1968 Manson si convinse che la canzone fosse dedicata a una sua seguace, Susan Atkins, da lui stesso ribattezzata "Sadie Mae Glutz". La presenza nell'album di un brano intitolato Sexy Sadie, laddove Manson aveva dato a Susan il nome "Sadie" molto tempo prima della pubblicazione del disco, fortificò in lui la convinzione che i Beatles "gli parlassero" e, con messaggi nascosti nei solchi del 33 giri (principalmente nelle canzoni Helter Skelter, Honey Pie, Piggies, Blackbird, Revolution 9), indicassero a lui la via da seguire nella guerra razziale globale che di lì a poco si sarebbe scatenata, ispirando i suoi deliri omicidi.
 Il gruppo rock spagnolo dei Sexy Sadie ha assunto il nome riprendendolo dal brano dei Beatles.

Commissioner Becoming Political
Posted on 19 July 2012. by Jones Bahamas
A senior Free National Movement (FNM) senator is accusing Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade of becoming "too politically motivated" after he released unsubstantiated crime figures that claimed serious crime is down six per cent.
Commissioner Greenslade has attributed the decrease to the government's Urban Renewal 2.0 programme.
Former Cabinet Minister and Marco City MP, Zhivargo Laing questioned how the police commissioner came to the conclusion that the government's social programme is working.
"I respect and value police officers and I have high regard for those who lead them. I am, however, alarmed at comments I heard made by Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade. They appear to be quite political," Mr. Laing said.
"After his minister of national security, [Bernard Nottage] said that dealing with crime is not going to be an overnight affair or a quick fix, Commissioner Greenslade declares that "Urban Renewal 2.0 is working." Working based on what? Working doing what? Working to push down houses, remove derelict vehicles or clear down bushes? These may be useful things to do, but are they bringing down murder, rape or robberies? Is the commissioner of police saying that they are bringing down crime in these areas and if so, where is his statistics to support same?"
The Journal contacted Mr. Greenslade for comment yesterday but was told that he was out of office.
Mr. Laing is now questioning if the commissioner is under pressure from the Christie administration to serve them, given its promise to give the commissioner tenure once again.
"Would this not be the same kind of political influence that the PLP complained should not be a part of the commissioner's situation?"
Mr. Laing said all of the police force's initiatives to fight crime have been happening in the country for some time and to a certain extent, on a larger scale.
He said it is noteworthy that there are laws governing the demolition of houses, the removal of vehicles and the clearing down of bushes, especially where they relate to private property.
"With the rate and somewhat indiscriminate nature with which this is being done, one has to question whether these laws are being followed by law enforcers," the FNM senator said. "If we break the law, meaning commit a crime trying to fight crime, are we really becoming a better society?"
"If the laws are hindering us from fighting crime, then we should change them first and not break them to get our fix, otherwise, what stops the society from doing the same thing? If a man steals from the thief who steals from him, is he executing justice and is that vigilante act making us better off? Mr. Greenslade is the man who is cleaning up the streets of the entire Bahamas and reducing crime all around. If these things can fix crime and work so quickly, why was the Commissioner of Police not doing them before?"
Mr. Laing questioned whether the commissioner has suggested in some way that the former administration kept him from doing the things he is doing now.
"Is the commissioner saying that his new initiatives are only able to be implemented now that the government has changed," Senator Laing asked.
"Then what in heaven's name was his published strategic plan all about? Is he admitting that his plan was ineffective and that only Urban Renewal 2.0 was needed all along? The commissioner produced the plan; he published it; and he was responsible for implementing it. Its effectiveness is one of the statutory basis upon which his performance would be judged."
Mr. Laing said he is concerned about the commissioner's posturing
"The commissioner has my full support in terms of fighting crime, but if he is going to sound political in his comments and public posture, I am going to call him out," he said.
"A commissioner of police must work for peace at all times and under all circumstances. He must give his all no matter who is in power. This is what professionalism is. I can say that this appeared to be the public posture of former commissioners. As the murder count continues to climb, the commissioner says Urban Renewal, not his crime strategy, is working."

In economically uncertain times, it makes sense to look to growth industries if you want job security. According to U.S. News and World Report, it is predicted that tech jobs will grow faster than the average for all jobs at a rate of 12 percent this decade.

'Magnificent Zinedine Zidane Has Earned Right for Trust at Real Madrid' - Iker Casillas
By Arjun Singh Devgan

Iker Casillas has hailed magnificent Zidane Zidane | JAVIER SORIANO/Getty Images
Spain and Real Madrid legend, Iker Casillas has hailed current Los Blancos manager as "magnificent", revealing that the achievements of the French legend have earned him the right to turn things around at the Bernabeu.
Zidane who is in his second spell as manager at the Bernabeu has come under increased pressure following Madrid's poor performances off late after his side registered just one win in their last five games across all competitions.
Madrid have won just five of the 10 games they have played in LaLiga, while struggling in the Champions League as they are currently placed third in their Group following the 2-0 loss at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk.
Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez on Zinedine Zidane:
? "There have been serious criticisms of Zidane.
"He is bearing it stoically, but I note his nervousness because his players aren't rising to the expectations placed upon Real Madrid players." [ESPN] pic.twitter.com/bVLb3D2uOY
— Goal (@goal) December 3, 2020
Amid growing rumours that Zidane will get the sack, Casillas wants the club to place more trust in a man who led them to three consecutive Champions League titles.
"Zizou is a magnificent coach, a good friend and will do everything possible to have Madrid as high up as possible. You cannot live in the past, but he has earned the right for trust," he told AS.
The Los Blancos are currently placed fifth in LaLiga ahead of their game against Sevilla on Saturday, while they must beat Borussia Monchengladbach in their final Champions League group B game in order to qualify for the knockout stages.

Purpose: Human tooth enamel consists mostly of minerals, primarily hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, and thus synthetic hydroxyapatite can be used as a biomimetic oral care agent. This review describes the synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite from a chemist's perspective and provides an overview of its current use in oral care, with a focus on dentin hypersensitivity, caries, biofilm management, erosion, and enamel lesions.
Sources: Reviews and original research papers published in English and German were included.
Results: The efficiency of synthetic hydroxyapatite in occluding open dentin tubules, resulting in a protection for sensitive teeth, has been well documented in a number of clinical studies. The first corresponding studies on caries, biofilm management and erosion have provided evidence for a positive effect of hydroxyapatite either as a main or synergistic agent in oral care products. However, more in situ and in vivo studies are needed due to the complexity of the oral milieu and to further clarify existing results.
Conclusions: Due to its biocompatibility and similarity to biologically formed hydroxyapatite in natural tooth enamel, synthetic hydroxyapatite is a promising biomimetic oral care ingredient that may extend the scope of preventive dentistry.

New Police Service Dog Made Possible Thanks to Chevron, Local Donors
CARLSBAD, N.M. – Alf, one of the Carlsbad Police Department's loyal Police Service Dogs, has announced his retirement.
"He has been diagnosed with a degenerative bone condition and has been suffering from a lot of pain due to the rigorous physical regiment they have to maintain through training and normal service," explained Carlsbad Police Chief Shane Skinner. "Alf has been in service with the Carlsbad Police Department since 2017 and has a proven track history of narcotic detection. His wonderful demeanor and outstanding work will be missed."
Alf will retire to the home of his current handler, Corporal Chris Caron.. Meanwhile, a generous $20,000 donation from Chevron, as well as contributions from several local residents, has made it possible for a new service dog, Alex, to join the team.
"Thanks to Chevron and several amazing local donors, we've been able to quickly move forward with replacing one of our three K-9 dogs," Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway said. "We appreciate everyone's assistance with helping keep our community safe."
The City of Carlsbad's K-9 program was reestablished in 2017, under the direction of Mayor Janway. The highly-trained Police Service Dogs complete several months of coursework with their handlers. After his graduation with Corporal Caron. Alex will join PSD Aris and PSD Nia at the police department. Corporal John Bonnell is Aris' handler and Officer Judy Brakeman is Nia's handler. All three dogs are Belgian Malinois.
In addition to their usual roles and responsibilities, the Police Service Dogs have made frequent appearances when the Carlsbad Police Department visited drive-by birthday parties throughout the COVID-19 shutdown.
"Police dogs are a valuable and beloved resource to the police department, and we're honored to help bring a new one to the community," said Beverly Allen, Chevron-Delaware Basin Community Affairs Representative. "When we learned about the retirement of one of the K-9 unit dogs, we couldn't pass on the chance to sponsor a new police dog."
Funds donated will be used for the cost of the new dog, training, officer training, additional equipment and retrofitting a police vehicle to include the dog.
Local donors who also supported the new K-9's purchase were Wayne and Sara Ballard, Ray and Karen Westall, George and Nancy Brantley, Valerie Murrill and several donors who wish to remain anonymous.
In 2019, Chevron made a donation to the City of Carlsbad allowing for the development of a bomb squad. Previous contributions included adding "no slip" tiles to the Carlsbad Water Park.
"Chevron's assistance to this community has always focused on safety," Mayor Janway said. "We know we can count on them to help us and always will be able to do so."
